* FTSE 100 down 0.1%, FTSE 250 down 0.2%
* TUI gains after quarterly report
* Plus500 surges after results

Aug 13 (Reuters) - UK shares inched lower on Tuesday, as
worries over protests in Hong Kong, the U.S.-China trade spat
and the health of the British economy continued to fuel a
risk-off sentiment, even though travel firm TUI rose after
quarterly results.
The main index .FTSE edged 0.1% lower as it fell for the
third straight session. The mid-cap FTSE 250 .FTMC gave up
0.2% by 0715 GMT, though online trading platform Plus500
PLUSP.L soared 10% after half-year results.
London-listed shares of tour operator TUI TUIGn.DE
TUIT.L advanced 2% after it said robust business outweighed
problems with the grounding of Boeing's BA.N 737 MAX jets in
the third quarter and upheld its annual earnings view.
