New riots in Hong Kong. Riot police use tear gas to disperse protesters. Dozens of people were arrested. The government of HK is not actually elected by the people living there, it tried to enact a law to extradite people to china, people protested for months, many people were arrested during the protests in order to scare the populace, using a law that allows arresting "rioters", however the people protesting weren't engaging in violent angry damaging for their own fun, but in setting signals that communicate that the people of HK disagree with the governance (only way, as they don't get to vote). #HK

More than 76,000 migrants have left Turkey heading for the EU as Greek police erected barbed wire barricades at border crossings and launched tear gas at crowds. Turkey's Interior minister, Suleyman Soylu, made the claim this morning after Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan 'opened the doors'. The EU border force, Frontex, has said it is on 'high alert' and is assisting both Greece and Bulgaria to keep their borders secure. It is thought the Turkish president has opened the borders, causing scenes reminiscent of the 2015 migrant crisis, to try to pressure the EU and its NATO members to lend him support for Turkey's military invaded in Syria. A Greek policeman collects tear gas canisters reportedly thrown from the Turkish side of the border during riots beween migrants and Greek police at the closed Kastanies border crossing, on the borderline between Greece and Turkey, near the Evros River yesterday.
