High levels of bacteria forced the swimming portion of a triathlon test event for the Tokyo Paralympics to be canceled.
Thousands of schoolteachers in Hong Kong marched to the official residence of the city's leader on Saturday as another weekend of protests got underway in the Chinese territory.
"We want to protect our students, our youngsters, so teachers are willing to come out and speak for the youngsters, and also, to stand by them so they are not alone," said Fung Wai-wah, president of the Hong Kong Professional Teachers' Union, which organized the march. A rally in Victoria Park has been called for Sunday by a pro-democracy group that has organized three massive marches through central Hong Kong since June.
Outside of Hong Kong, demonstrations were held in support of both the pro-democracy movement and China.
