The clean-up is getting underway in Hong Kong after the unprecedented protests earlier this week, but the fall-out will be ongoing.

Pro-democracy activists stormed the territory's parliament on Monday, occupying the Legislative Council for several hours and ransacking the building.

The Chinese government has condemned the protest, meanwhile the British foreign secretary, Jeremy Hunt, has warned China of serious consequences if it breached the agreement guaranteeing freedoms in the city.
