HONG KONG (Reuters) - Anti-government protesters paralysed parts of Hong Kong for a fifth day on Friday, forcing schools to close and blocking some main roads, as university students barricaded campuses and authorities struggled to calm the violence.

Chief Executive Carrie Lam condemned an "attack" in London on the city's justice secretary saying the incident was barbaric and violated the principles of a civilized society.
