Hong Kong is bracing for more mass demonstrations through the weekend, with the weeks-long crisis escalating after pro-democracy protests forced the cancellation of nearly 1,000 flights this week. China has reiterated that Hong Kong's protest resembled terrorism and more street clashes followed chaotic scenes at the airport two days ago, when protesters set upon two men they suspected of being government sympathisers. Editor-in-Chief from the Hong Kong Free Press, Tom Grundy, joins Karyn again from Hong Kong with an update.
