British lesbian wins landmark court battle to live and work in Hong Kong

    A British lesbian won the right to live and work in Hong Kong with her partner in a landmark decision on Wednesday by the top court in the city, where same-sex unions are not recognised. The Court of Final Appeal judgement ends the protracted legal battle by QT, who entered into a civil partnership in Britain in 2011 and moved to Hong Kong with her partner the same year.

It said employment visas are granted because he or she has the talent or skills deemed needed or desirable. Such a person could be straight or gay. Gay marriage and same-sex unions are currently not rec...

England nerve to book World Cup

    England were handed a major test of their mettle but claimed a first penalty shootout win in 22 years to book a World Cup quarter-final spot against Sweden. Eric Dier was the hero after bagging the winning spot-kick, the Spurs midfielder netting after Jordan Pickford's excellent save denied Carlos Bacca. The Three Lions had won the game once it had seemed, thanks to Harry Kane's second half penalty after he had been brought down by Carlos Sanchez. But Yerry Mina's 93rd minute header sent the match into extra-time and ultimately spotkicks. Jordan Henderson missed for the Three Lions, but they were handed a reprieve when Uribe clattered the crossbar. Bacca's effort was then brilliantly saved by Pickford, before Dier coolly slotted past David Ospina to send the Thre...
