After a remarkable performance in district elections, Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement has received another boost - this time from the US. President Donald Trump has signed into law the Human Rights and Democracy Act, which mandates an annual review of whether Hong Kong has enough autonomy to justify its special status with the US. Currently, its special status means it is exempt from US sanctions or tariffs placed on the mainland. The bill also allows for Hong Kong residents to obtain US visas, even if they have been arrested for being part of non-violent protests. While welcomed by one of the pro-democracy campaign leaders, the move could hamper efforts to end a trade war with China. The foreign ministry in Beijing is threatening "firm counter measures", while Hong Kong's government says it will would not help to ease tensions.

Two weeks out from polling day, is the election campaign about to change shape? Labour is to move activists to areas that backed Leave in a bid to reassure voters the party is not opposed to Brexit - just to Boris Johnson's deal - and turn around a stubborn Conservative poll lead. Our political correspondent Iain Watson says the strategy was prompted by Labour's own polling, and devised before the release of a YouGov poll of more than 100,000 people suggesting the Conservatives would win a 68-seat majority if the election was held tomorrow. While that poll - which applies national trends to individual constituency demographics - suggests the Tories will pick up seats from Labour in the Midlands and northern England, others suggest the Conservative lead is narrowing, as our poll tracker shows.
One thing that won't change is the daily trumpeting of policies. Throughout Thursday you can expect to hear Jeremy Corbyn announce Labour would plant two billion trees, Boris Johnson suggest the Conservatives would "support women to reach their full potential" and Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson attack Mr Johnson for not caring about anyone but himself. Later, the Institute for Fiscal Studies will assess the party manifestos and their likely impact on the public finances. The Resolution Foundation think tank, which focuses on those on lower incomes, says both the Conservatives and Labour are likely to break their own rules on borrowing - an opinion the parties contest.

Imagine cancelling your subscription to a streaming service, only to discover it taking payments from your account months later. That's exactly the situation described by some Netflix subscribers who have been targeted by criminals who sell on login details. Because customer data - including billing information - is held on the site for 10 months to allow people to rejoin, hackers can reactivate dormant accounts without knowing users' bank details, BBC Radio 4's You & Yours programme has learned. "Criminals had changed my login details completely and had signed me up for the most expensive service," says Emily Keen, from Oxford. Netflix says the safety of member accounts is top priority and urges members who notice unusual activity to contact the company.

A range of election stories lead the papers. Labour's claim that official papers show the Tories want to allow access to the NHS as part of a future US trade deal - something denied by Boris Johnson - leads the Guardian. "The proof," is how the Daily Mirror headlines the story. Meanwhile, the prime minister's criticism of austerity - and claim that he told colleagues in 2010 it was the wrong approach - leads the Daily Express. The Times leads on a major poll suggesting the Conservatives are heading for a big majority, although Mr Johnson's senior advisor Dominic Cummings is quoted by the Daily Telegraph saying a hung Parliament is a "very real possibility".
