New Zealand First leader Winston Peters has delivered a fiery speech at his party's AGM on Sunday, announcing to the public that "we are coming back".

It's his first speech since NZ First was booted out of Parliament at last year's election after only getting 2.6 percent of the vote, well below the 5 percent threshold required if no candidate wins a seat.

A Hong Kong court ordered the top editor of pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily and the head of its parent company held without bail Saturday (local time) in the first hearing since their arrest two days ago under the city's national security law.
