Hong Kong Shuts Trains, Banks, Again Rallies After 'Dark Day'

Associated Press

   HONG KONG - All subway and train services were suspended, lines formed
   at the cash machines of shuttered banks, and shops were closed as Hong
   Kong dusted itself off and then started marching again Saturday after
   another night of rampaging violence decried as "a very dark day" by the
   territory's embattled leader.

   In a televised address broadcast as marchers in masks again took to the
   streets in defiance of her newly instituted ban on face coverings at
   rallies, a solemn Carrie Lam described Hong Kong as "semi-paralyzed"
   and in the grips of "unprecedented violence."
