Farmers in India are protesting new laws liberalising agricultural markets, calling for a national strike following inconclusive talks with Narendra Modi's government, and the crackdown in Hong Kong continues as police continue to make fresh arrests in the city. This week eight more activists were arrested for their participation in last year's protests.
