a scathing attack by president trump on london's mayor, sadiq khan, over a series of violent deaths in the capital. hundreds of people remain locked out of their homes because of flooding, which the environment agency says is "unprecedented". britain's tyson fury defeats tom schwarz in las vegas, afterjust the second round. fury is now promising to "hunt down" the wbc champion, deontay wilder. and our sunday morning edition of the papers is at 9.35am, this morning's reviewers are rosamund irwin and robert fox. tens of thousands of peope are protesting on the streets

of hong kong over a controversial extradition bill, despite a government climb—down. hong kong's chief executive announced the plans had been suspended, but demonstrators are demanding it be completely scrapped. large crowds have gathered in the city's victoria square. this is the scene that lives right now. tens of thousands of protesters are expected to take to the streets of hong kong again. but opposition groups say suspension is not enough, and they are vowing to continue their protests. they want to avoid a repeat of the violence we saw on wednesday when

police fired rubber bullets and tear gas. and this is the scene that now. we can hear from gas. and this is the scene that now. we can hearfrom our china correspondent who is in hong kong with the latest. i'm standing at the back of victoria park, where we initially came to film the crowd approaching. as you can see, i am now surrounded by protesters. so we have yet another big turnout here in hong kong to try and finally defeat this proposal to allow for extradition to mainland china. this march comes despite a humiliating back down from hong kong's leader, mrs lam. she says for the moment at least this will be put on the back burner, but protesters are saying this is not enough. many are calling for her to resign. they are blaming herfor bringing this for her to resign. they are blaming

her for bringing this crisis in the first place. many people are wearing black. they are also carrying flowers a nd black. they are also carrying flowers and white ribbons. that is, in part, a reflection of the tragic death of a protester who, last night, was threatening to jump off a building unless the extradition proposal was abandoned. rescue teams tried to help him and it went wrong, and he ended up falling and dying. so there is that, and there is also the violence we have seen with the police. in a way it is more of a spirit of morning, rather than celebration. given that they had quite a victory, but were it not for this large street movement, there is no way this government would have backed down. this time last week, mrs lam said they were pushing ahead with that proposal. now, the proposal is not for the moment moving forward, and yet that is not good enough for these protesters, who have turned out in considerable

numbers too much again in hong kong. stephen mcdonell, who you sawjust there, has been speaking to hong kong politician — emily lau, the former chairperson of the hong kong democratic party, who has also been out among the protesters. members have had an urgent meeting, but there is a greater story, beijing is very upset with mrs lam, saying she has no ability so i think she is in great danger. people think she is in great danger. people think she should go because she is not fit for office, she has to step down. the message must go out. and what about the extradition bill? do you think she could ever

introduce it again? i don't think she can do it this year or next year. they will be an election in september next year, and there will bea september next year, and there will be a chief executive election, so i don't think it will survive, and if it does, they will be 3 million people on the streets of hong kong. i tell you, this is on her. onjune the ist, we commemorated the massacre on tiananmen square. that is the latest there from hong kong. we will be live there throughout the morning with the latest on those demonstrations that are continuing through the day. former conservative leadership contender, esther mcvey has come out in support of borisjohnson, ahead of the first televised leaders debate tonight. mrjohnson, who is the

favourite to succeed theresa may as prime minister, will not be taking part in the debate. another contender, michael gove, has won over the support of the scottish secretary, david mundell. more now from our political correspondent. a jostling to see who is going to give their backing to who. yes, esther mcvey is a brexiteer, so it isa esther mcvey is a brexiteer, so it is a surprise —— not a surprise she has got behind borisjohnson. she did not get a huge amount of votes in the first round, only nine, i think some of her supporters will follow suit. more broadly, i think we are starting to see people from different wings of the party also concluded that borisjohnson is just the man who is going to win, and the man who can deliver on this. interesting speaking to conservatives over the weekend, some from different wings of the party,

who just say now we need to get behind somebody and we need to get on and delivered us. so the big question is, is there anyone who has a hope in hell of getting anywhere near boris johnson? tonight a hope in hell of getting anywhere near borisjohnson? tonight we will see them all on a channel for debate, trying to make the case that they are the best candidate. they we re they are the best candidate. they were all at a hustings yesterday for tory activists, all insisting there should not be a coronation, that they are still in the race, they are determined to get on with this. but borisjohnson is determined to get on with this. but boris johnson is miles determined to get on with this. but borisjohnson is miles in front. in terms of the debates, one tonight and another on the bbc next week, which borisjohnson will and another on the bbc next week, which boris johnson will take and another on the bbc next week, which borisjohnson will take part in. yes, tonight you will have five of the six remaining candidates, eve ryo ne of the six remaining candidates, everyone except borisjohnson. there is another round of dating of tory mps on tuesday. much higher threshold this time, they will need the backing of 33 to stay on, which could whittle the list potentially down to three, or maybe four, he

will stay in and they will then be pa rt will stay in and they will then be part of that debate on tuesday night, which boris johnson part of that debate on tuesday night, which borisjohnson is going to ta ke night, which borisjohnson is going to take part in. the process continues over wednesday, potentially into thursday, where they will be more ballot of tory mps to get down to the last two. at that point, it goes to 160,000 conservative members, who will pick the next prime minister. if it is a race for second place, it is most likely to get that second place that would put them on the ballot for the wider conservative party membership? you were mentioning that david mundell the scottish secretary has come out for michael gove, his momentum has been snapping away since those revelations about his cocaine use when he was young. jeremy hunt is the front runner to be second. sajid javid is hoping that he can have some kind of pincer

movement, come up that he can have some kind of pincer movement, come up the middle and win votes from both sides. i have to say that dominic raab is struggling. most brexiteers are now getting com pletely most brexiteers are now getting completely towards boris johnson. most brexiteers are now getting completely towards borisjohnson. he insists he still has a chance. it is all to play for. we have sat here in the past and speculated over it being a dumb race, and it has turned out to be far from that. but boris johnson, as i say, has been gallivanting down the road, he is a long way ahead, and it is a hard job to catch him now. thank you very much indeed. iran has complained to britain's ambassador in the country after the uk government accused it of involvement in the attacks on two oil tankers in the gulf of oman. the iranian authorities deny being involved. amid the growing tensions, the british—iranian woman jailed in tehran for spying, nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, has begun a new hunger strike. she denies any wrongdoing. simonjones reports.

outside the iranian embassy in london, a lone tent symbolising the growing tensions between the uk and tehran. the husband of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe camping outside the building to try to make his voice heard. his wife remains injail following her arrest at tehran airport, after visiting her family three years ago, accused of being a spy, which she has always denied. we are camping out in solidarity with nazanin, she has gone on hunger strike in iran. we can't see that, but said if she was going on hunger strike we would do it here. obviously you can see me, and i am doing it in front of the iranian embassy. nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe's case is intricately connected with the difficult relationship between the uk and iran, which has just become even more tense. london has accused tehran of being behind attacks on two oil tankers in the gulf of oman, one of the world's busiest waterways.

iran says that isn't true, making its displeasure known in a meeting with the ambassador. jeremy hunt, who met mr radcliffe yesterday, as said compassion should be shown to nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe to allow her to return home to her family. for her husband and his supporters the wait continues, with no response yet from the iranian authorities. us president donald trump has once again taken to twitter to criticise mayor of london sadiq khan. retweeting a post from right wing commentator katie hopkins, he said yesterday "london needs a new mayor asap. "khan is a disaster — will only get worse!" mr trump later followed it up with another post saying: "he is a national disgrace who is destroying "the city of london!" the president's comments came

after five attacks in london in less than 2a hours left three men dead and three others injured. a surgeon who served time in prison for killing a patient before his conviction was quashed has raised concerns about the way black and ethnic minority doctors are treated by the professional regulator. figures obtained by the bbc suggest the general medical council is more likely to investigate complaints against bame doctors than those who are white. here's amara sophia—elahi. i had lost my salary, i had lost my reputation, i lost myjob. david is a respected colorectal surgeon with over 20 years of experience in the nhs and private sector. in 2010, a patient died under his care. he was investigated by the gmc, then charged and convicted of gross negligence manslaughter. he was later cleared on appeal after serving 15 months of a two—year prison sentence.

he believes his race played a part in the way his case and others have been handled. the general medical council, our regulator, investigates a disproportionate number of black and ethnic minority doctors. we should all proportionately take the blame for when things go wrong, and things do go wrong in medicine after all. black and asian doctors make up around a third of the workforce in the uk, yet they are overrepresented in fitness—to—practise cases. figures obtained by the bbc show that over a five year period, 44% of complaints made against black doctors led to investigations. for asian doctors it was a0%. and for white doctors it was just 29%. they also revealed 12% of black doctors were suspended or erased from the medical register after an investigation by the medical practitioners tribunal service. that is more than double

the proportion of white doctors. the gmc said it is not complacent about its own processes being free from discrimination, which is why it regularly and independently gets them reviewed. it has commissioned research to understand better why black and asian doctors are disproportionately complained about, investigated and sanctioned. they destroyed my profession, they destroyed my career. somebody surely should have been held to account for that, but nobody — i didn't get any apology, nothing. the headlines on bbc news: there is another huge protest in hong kong today as tens of thousands of demonstrators march, despite a government climb—down on its controversial extradition built to mainland china. backing for borisjohnson today by

the senior brexiteer esther mcvey, who was knocked out of the conservative leadership race. the jailed british iranian woman nazanin zaghari—radcliffe begins a new hunger strike as tehran protests about british claims that it is behind attacks on two oil tankers. police drone operators have worked through the night to monitor flood levels in a lincolnshire town where nearly 600 people have been evacuated from their homes. some residents in wainfleet were left with up to a metre of water in their homes when the river steeping burst its banks after two months worth of rainfal fell in just two days. the raf was called in, bringing bags of ballast to shore up the banks but levels have continued to rise — in a situation the environment agency says is "unprecedented". joining us now from the emergency centre in lincoln is cheryl edwards. what is happening to those people

who have been evacuated from their homes? well, they are getting some good news this morning, and that is that the defences for the river have held overnight. we know from yesterday that more were moved out of their homes because there were concerns that a second breach might happen but that has not happened, and we have seen the pictures of the raf helicopter is going on and dropping sandbags. some 3112 tonnes has so far been dropped, which has shored up the beach in the defences, but they are very aware it is only temporary, and indeed, when the environment agency went out early yesterday morning, they found another crack in the walls, so there are concerns about the integrity of the wall along that stretch, which is why 580 properties remain evacuated this morning. this is an area that has been vulnerable to

flooding, but the environment agency is saying this flooding is unprecedented. indeed, it is unprecedented. indeed, it is unprecedented. two months of rain in two days, and remember this is a very low lying area. lincolnshire is famously flat, apart from the worlds, so that is presenting them with huge difficulties. it is a rural area, so they are seeing a lot of run—off from the fields. even after the rain stops, the water continues to rise. a short update for this morning, the environment agency are going to switch on these two huge pumps that they brought in, it took 13 articulated lorries to deliver the parts before they were assembled on site yesterday. they are due to go online this morning, and pump some of the water away. that is good news, but they will have to do it very slowly. if they suddenly reduce the pressure on the embankment, on the wall, then that

cared if they are not careful, because not so much damage, but compromise the integrity of the wall. they are monitoring that very carefully. if that works, we can expect some of that very high level of water in the area to be drained away as soon as i of water in the area to be drained away as soon as i can of water in the area to be drained away as soon as i can possibly get it out. sharon, you have spent the weekend with the emergency services. you have been working incredibly hard. they must all be exhausted. yes, it is a full—time operation at the emergency command centre. we have got the emergency services, the council, the voluntary sectors, social services, they are all working in the room behind me, all having regular meetings to update each other on what is going on. of course, they are getting constant intelligence of what is happening on the ground. this is not the first timei the ground. this is not the first time i have been here. they call it the bunker. they bunkered down in

times like this and work incredibly ha rd times like this and work incredibly hard on ten or 12 hour shifts, or more, to keep on top of the situation, in particularfor those most vulnerable. thank you for bringing us up to date on the flooding situation in lincolnshire. the four time tour de france champion, chris froome says he's "lucky to be here" after suffering serious injuries after a crash while training in france. the cyclist posted this photo on social media with the words "on the road to recovery" after undergoing surgery. in a statement, froome said he's fully focused on getting back to his best. the first mass has been held in notre dame cathedral in paris since a huge fire destroyed the roof and spire in april. priests and worshippers wore hard hats for the service in a small side—chapel. freya cole reports.

it's not your usual attire for over a delicious service but given the iconic notre—dame is not structurally sound a hard hat is a necessity. the intimate service is the first since the spectacular fire spread to the cathedral in april, devastating prescience in sending shock waves around the world. a monument such as the notre—dame continues to live on, even if there was a fire. it is not a lost monument, it continues to have life. just 30 people were invited for a mass led by the archbishop of paris. it is with strong emotion that we find ourselves here celebrating the consecration of this cathedral. but we are profoundly happy to be able to celebrate the eucharist and it is why it was built. authorities now know the fire started near the base of the spire.

flames spread to the roof within a matter of hours, consuming more than 800 years of history. what was lost will never be exactly the same but it can be rebuilt and replicated. donations for the cathedral‘s the construction of it have hit nearly $1 billion. it was on father's day three years ago that andrew suttie discovered he was going to be a dad, but one of his twin daughters was born with a rare disorder and died atjust eight months old. the charity that helped andrew and his family say 16,000 scottish children have a life—shortening illness. now, an appeal has been launched to try and ensure there is support for fathers like andrew. louise cowie has been to meet him. so it was father's day 2016. we had been trying for a while to have a baby, and we had had ivf,

and it was the first round of ivf, and she came in on father's day and said "you're going to be a dad". we were delighted. a month or so afterwards we found out it was going to be twins, so we were delighted. at 32 weeks, the girls were born by c—section, and jess was tiny. she was two pounds 11. both georgia and jessica needed intensive care in the neonatal unit, and jessica was in for three months and georgia was in for three weeks. a week after discharge, we found out she had a syndrome, which was catastrophic. there is no cure for it. it is a horrible, horrible thing to go through. to find out at that stage that your child won't live to their first birthday, and all the hopes you had for that child are shattered at this stage. i researched different support groups and whatnot, and i asked if we could be referred and they accepted us

to go to rachel house, a children's hospice. but you wouldn't know that, it is like a 5—star hotel. there are lots of families there at the same time. every single one of them has a child that has a life shortening condition. being someone that maybe didn't open up about my emotions in the past, there were other dads that were in the same boat, like most scottish males, they don't express their emotions. so it was good to be able to talk openly with them about how you're feeling. georgia and jessica were sharing a room together, babbling away to each other. we knew something wasn't right withjessica, she stopped breathing. it really was out of the blue. even though you expect it, it still came as a shock. georgia, why don't you sing a song to jessica? # twinkle, twinkle, little star. # how i wonder what you are.#

right from the start with georgia, we always speak aboutjessica. some of my friends, i think they maybe feel a bit apprehensive about speaking about jessica, but i like speaking about her, she was my daughter. what are your overriding memories of her? her beautiful smile. sorry. just her relationship with georgia. they loved each other, they looked at each other. they definitely knew they were sisters. i will always remember her smile, and her chatting. she was chatting nonstop all of the time. you are watching bbc news. the weather will be coming up shortly, and then a full review of the sunday papers. the spice girls ended their sell—out reunion tour at wembley stadium by inviting their mothers and children on stage last night. the group performed their hit singles wannabe and spice up your life in front of 80,000

fans in the stadium. as the concert came to a close, the artist known as ginger spice apologised to her bandmates for leaving the group in 1998. well, we can talk to lauren, a spice girls fan, and an author who wrote, white with the spice girls do? how the girl power generation grew up. she went to see them at wembley on thursday night. was it everything you expected? thursday night. was it everything you expected ? it thursday night. was it everything you expected? it really was, and a lot more, to be honest. it was brilliant. there has been a lot of controversy about the sound problems early on in the tour, did you notice any sound problems? no, it sounded brilliant for us and i was right up in the gods, said they had had time to sort that out. you are a huge spice girls fan, but this is the first time you have seen them live? yes, it is. i never saw them back in the day. i did not see them in their

reunion tour a decade ago, sol the day. i did not see them in their reunion tour a decade ago, so i have waited 23 years. worth the wait. and ginger apologised last night, saying she was sorry for leaving, i was just being a brat! she said it was so good to be back with the girls she loves. was that a necessary apology, do you think?” she loves. was that a necessary apology, do you think? i don't know if it was necessary, it was nice to hear as if it was necessary, it was nice to hearasa fan. if it was necessary, it was nice to hear as a fan. we have always wondered what could have been, had she not left. in a way, it is special that we can treasure those two years when they were such a phenomenon and not really know what might have happened if they had carried on. nice to hear her say it, they. i'm sure she was gutted. what do you think has made the spice girls so successful and so special. they have such a place in peoples hearts, people like you, who were very young when they were first around. well, i think very young when they were first around. well, ithink that very young when they were first around. well, i think that is it, the fact that they appeal to such a young audience. particularly young girls. they presented this vision of

girls. they presented this vision of girl power. it was so accessible, and it was so mainstream, it was fun and it was so mainstream, it was fun and joyous, confident and loud. those were all things that little girls had not been offered by culture before. it was exciting. what should they do now? should they get back to recording? what would you like to see them do?” get back to recording? what would you like to see them do? i am not sure, to be honest. ithink you like to see them do? i am not sure, to be honest. i think i am quite satisfied, having danced myself silly on thursday night, i am happy to call it a day. i would not blame them if they want to keep going, they are having the time of their lives. i'm sure they will be huge demand for a world tour if they wanted to continue. i don't know if we want to see them back in the studio, that i have been enjoying and his new solo albums sol studio, that i have been enjoying and his new solo albums so i think there will be more to come from them anywhere. we will see, thank you for joining us this morning. the spice girls, who have now finished the tour. let's check out the latest weather now.

further showers are expected this afternoon or miss anywhere across england, wales. scotland and northern ireland will get heavy rain later on today and into this evening. let's look at the satellite image. this is a familiar picture. low pressure has been spinning around across this part of the atla ntic around across this part of the atlantic and the british isles for quite some time. it has been blowing in the shower clouds, and the showers themselves. you can see those on the radar image. quite a breeze off the atlantic, particularly around western and south—western coasts. the showers could be thundery with pale, almost anywhere across england and wales. and then this area of weather approaching northern ireland. this means it will be a wet end to the afternoon for belfast, and a wet start to the evening for glasgow and edinburgh as well as this area of weather pushes across north—western parts of the uk. south of that,

things will dry out there this evening and overnight. not too cold tonight with temperatures across a large swathe of england and wales into double figures, perhaps 13 or 14 into double figures, perhaps 13 or 1a celsius. 0n into double figures, perhaps 13 or 1a celsius. on monday, low pressure is still sending a breeze and showers our way. scotland and northern ireland closer to the low on monday. more frequent showers. elsewhere, fewer showers and feeling a little bit warmer. from tuesday onwards, the wind direction will change somewhat across southern parts and winds will be coming in slightly more off france, where it isa slightly more off france, where it is a little bit warmer at the moment. temperatures could reach 22 celsius, maybe even 20 in yorkshire. nate is a hint of some showers there on tuesday. tuesday night into wednesday, we could have some thundery downpours across the eastern half of england as we gave

into wednesday. more of an easterly track at this stage. look how warm it is across europe. this is
