Lam regrets clashes, says amendment to HK law to advance

Hong Kong's Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor expressed deep regret on Monday over clashes between radical protesters and the city's police during an unauthorized assembly in the early hours following Sunday's mass protest.

She said the police are taking serious action against any illegal conduct.

Lam said the special administrative region government will press ahead with its proposal to amend the city's extradition law, but promised to make more efforts to address public concerns over the change.
