Hong Kong is facing another day of anti-government action after a night of pitched battle at a top university.

At the Chinese University of Hong Kong police fired tear gas and rubber bullets as protesters ignited fires and petrol bombs until the early hours.

Considerable student anger over police moving their operation onto campuses was matched by police warning that the rule of law was close to "collapse".

Riot police continue to be deployed across the city.

The police decision to enter campuses signals a shift in strategy, correspondents say, as they have largely avoided clearance operations at schools and universities.
