Progressing from child labourer to billionaire, Lai used his power and wealth to promote democracy, which ultimately pitted him against authorities in Beijing

On Monday, a Hong Kong court convicted Jimmy Lai of national security offences , the end to a landmark trial for the city and its hobbled protest movement.

The verdict was expected. Long a thorn in the side of Beijing, Lai, a 78-year-old media tycoon and activist, was a primary target of the most recent and definitive crackdown on Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement. Authorities cast him as a traitor and a criminal.

• Aggressive batter rues ‘shocking shots’ in Perth and Brisbane

• Australia can clinch series and retain Ashes in Adelaide

England batter Harry Brook admits that he might need to curb his aggressive instincts a little bit when the Ashes go on the line in the third Test in Adelaide this week. Coach Brendon McCullum insisted on Sunday that England’s aggressive style of batting will not change despite heavy defeats in the first two Tests.

Brook, who has contributed 98 runs to England’s cause over four innings so far, conceded two of his dismissals in Perth and Brisbane were the result of “shocking shots” that he would reconsider if he had his time again.

It’s natural to want information about a traumatic event but graphic imagery can cause a significant stress response

• What we know about the Bondi terror attack

Like everyone else, I watched news of the Bondi attack unfold last night with shock, horror and dismay. As I did so, I was immediately assailed by imagery of bodies lying on the ground, barely hidden from view. I closed these videos immediately, knowing the way this imagery can stick in one’s mind.

When terrible events such as yesterday’s attackoccur, we often race to find out as much as possible about what happened. We do so by trawling social media and news sites. This is a natural way of making sense of events, and reflects a human urge to know what is occurring around us in order to keep us safe. Sometimes it’s a more prurient interest, like the way we slow down to look at a crash.

• Jimmy Lai verdict: Hong Kong judges set to rule on national security charges

As has become usual with these national security cases, there is a large police presence outside the West Kowloon district court.

It’s about two hours from the verdict hearing beginning, and there are officers in plain clothes and uniform everywhere, as well as a massive press pack. Smaller than I have seen before, however, is the queue for the general public.
