   Hong Kong protest

   Protests again cause problems at Hong Kong airport on Tuesday. Cathay Pacific,   
   Hong Kong's largest airline, has announced that the check-in is closed for all   
   passengers. This was ordered by the Airport Authority of Hong Kong.   
       
   Cathay Pacific discourages all non-essential journeys from Hong Kong on   
   Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Customers are called upon not to come to the airport.   
   They can rebook their air travel free of charge.   
       
   The airport closed on Monday and all outbound air traffic was suspended after   
   about five thousand demonstrators had entered the airport buildings. Air   
   travel was resumed on Tuesday morning, but many flights were canceled.   
       
   Flights from Cathay Pacific that would leave for Hong Kong from Amsterdam and   
   Brussels on Tuesday have been canceled. A KLM flight to Hong Kong did leave on   
   Tuesday afternoon.   
       
   UPDATE 5.30 pm: On Sky News video footage it can be seen that protesters built   
   barricades with luggage carts. The police were also pelted with objects when   
   they entered the terminal.   
       
   The Hong Kong stock market fell to a low point in seven months. The United   
   Nations urged Hong Kong to exercise restraint as protests increase.
