Hong Kong protests: pressure builds on Carrie Lam as public rejects apology

Calls for government leader to stand down after an estimated two million march over unpopular extradition bill

Hong Kong's political crisis has entered its second week, after protestors who had filled the city's streets in record numbers on Sunday rejected an apology from leader Carrie Lam, and vowed to continue their fight against a controversial law she championed.

After the sweeping protest - which organisers say attracted 2 million people, the largest in the city's history - Lam apologised in a statement for the way the government had handled the draft extradition law.
