One person has been shot and another set on fire in Hong Kong as a 24th week of protests against the city's Government takes a violent turn.

In the first incident a protestor was shot in the stomach by a traffic cop at close range.

Later in the day a pro-Beijing man filmed arguing with protestors was doused in petrol and set on fire.

Both incidents were captured on video and both men remain in critical condition.

Hong Kong's leader Carrie Lam warned protesters they would not succeed in getting their demands.

Grace Lee spoke to Morning Report producer Jeremy Wilkinson from Hong Kong.
