Hong Kong police end blockade of university campus
Hong Kong police have ended their blockade of a university campus after surrounding it for 12 days to try to arrest anti-government protesters holed up inside. Police removed a stash of nearly 4,000 petrol bombs left behind by protesters, who fought pitched battles about two weeks ago with riot officers on surrounding streets. The stand-off at Hong Kong Polytechnic University was one of the most dramatic episodes in nearly six months of unrest that began in June with a huge march against an extradition Bill seen as an erosion of freedoms promised when the former British colony returned to Chinese control in 1997. Protesters have since expanded their demands to include fully democratic elections and an investigation into police use of tear gas, rubber bullets and other force to suppress the demonstrations. Police have arrested 5,890 people since June, ranging in age from 11 to 83.

Jacob Collier – “Time Alone With You” (Feat. Daniel Caesar)
Jacob Collier is one of those blokes who's been around for years and years, building steam outside the critical conversation, forging relationships across the music industry. He first came to fame as a North London teenager posting splitscreen covers on YouTube in 2012. Now 25, he's become the kind of unstoppable force who can tour the world behind a four-part, 50-song album he's releasing over the course of two or three years. That project is called Djesse, and today — on the heels of contributing to Coldplay's Everyday Life — he's beginning to roll out the third volume. The four volumes of Djesse supposedly represent the four phases of the day. They present Collier's omnivorous ethos, which brings together elements of classical, funk, jazz, folk, soul, hip-hop, and alternative rock among other traditions. He really goes out of his way to cast a wide net, but not at the expense of coherence. Vol. 1, released last December, involved contributions from Laura Mvula, Voces8, Hamid El

Ljungberg appointed as interim head coach as Arsenal sack Unai Emery
Arsenal has sacked manager Unai Emery following the disastrous sequence of results that culminated in Thursday’s 2-1 home defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League, in front of a largely empty Emirates Stadium. The club’s board had publicly backed their manager during the recent international break saying he was “the right man for the job” but that “things need to improve”. However, Saturday’s toxic 2-2 draw with struggling Southampton and Thursday’s Europa League defeat seem to have forced their hand and Freddie Ljungberg will take temporary charge of the team. Arsenal board member Josh Kroenke said: “Our most sincere thanks go to Unai and his colleagues who were unrelenting in their efforts to get the club back to competing at the level we all expect and demand. We wish Unai and his team nothing but future success. “The decision has been taken due to results and performances not being at the level required,” said the son of the majority shareholder, Stan Kroenke, speaking on behalf of the board.
