The Latest: Hong Kong highway blocked after deadline passes

Protesters in Hong Kong have once again blocked a highway in an outlying area after the government did not meet their demand that it pledge to go ahead with local elections later this month. Traffic was backed up Friday evening after the protesters placed barricades back on the roadway. The protesters had allowed one lane of traffic to re-open in each direction and gave the government 24 hours to meet their demand.
