Hong Kong protesters flood city streets for largest rally in weeks

A sea of democracy activists flooded the streets of Hong Kong Sunday under torrential rains in a peaceful demonstration to city leaders that their movement still draws wide public support, despite mounting violence and increasingly stark warnings from Beijing. Hundreds of thousands of umbrella-carrying protesters poured across the heart of Hong Kong island, defying both the downpour and a police order not to march from a park where they had gathered earlier for a rally. Weeks of demonstrations have plunged the financial hub into crisis, with images of masked, black-clad protesters engulfed by tear gas during street battles against riot police stunning a city once renowned for its stability.

Swarms of flying bugs infest Nepalese hotel room as traveller tries to sleep

An unwitting traveller is surrounded by thousands of flying bugs while trying to sleep in a Nepalese hotel room on August 18. Footage shows the traveller using a duvet to cover their face as thousands of tiny flying insects swarm together in their thousands on the wall and ceiling above. The sleep deprived traveller looks terrified and is unable to move from the bed as the filmer pans around the room showing the extent of the infestation. The filmer also captures a close up of the winged insects scurrying about with creepy ferociousness. The filmer claims there were no bugs in the room upon arrival but as the sun went down the little critters started pouring in through a hole in the window. The unexpected night guests did get into the traveller's hair but did not otherwise cause any discomfort or harm - apart from tiredness due to lack of sleep.
