Hong Kong - English football premier league team Liverpool was Wednesday accused of pricing itself out of the market making "outrageous" demands to play in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong - Hong Kong is at a "higher risk" of an outbreak of swine flu because the city of 7 million is so densely populated, its leader Donald Tsang said Tuesday.
Beijing-appointed Tsang made the remark after government officials held a teleconference with counterparts in Macau and the neighbouring southern Chinese province of Guangdong.
The former British colony has been on alert for signs of the virus and Monday announced that three people tested for swine flu had been given the all-clear.
Hong Kong - Hong Kong leader Donald Tsang warned Monday of the danger of the swine flu virus spreading to the densely-populated city of 7 million as the outbreak hit share prices.
Chief executive Donald Tsang told reporters: "Hong Kong is a cosmopolitan city. We do not easily close our borders, and it is quite possible people carrying this virus during the hibernation period may come into Hong Kong."
Hong Kong - It was when a policeman took them aside on the steps of the 7th century Jokhang temple in Lhasa that the Taylor family realized the extent of the sensitivity of being among the first tourists allowed back into Tibet.

Hong Kong - A record 4.24 million people are expected to travel in and out of Hong Kong for the May Day holiday, immigration officials in the city of 7 million said Monday.
