Hong Kong protest: city falls silent as authorities delay extradition bill debate
(The Guardian China)

Streets reopen after 70 injured in Wednesday´s rallies that were condemned by government leader Carrie Lam as `blatant riot´ Hong Kong fell silent on Thursday as protesters and police maintained a wary eye on each other, a day after the violent clearing of thousands of demonstrators from the streets over proposed extradition legislation that could see suspects sent to mainland China.Officials said debate on the controversial extradition law that has prompted mass demonstrations would not be held on Thursday, and government offices in the financial district were closed. Small groups of defiant protesters remained, attempting to reclaim crucial areas while others appeared to be restocking for the protests, looking for places to hide protective equipment and other supplies.
