this is bbc news. the headlines at three... an apology from hong kong's leader as hundreds of thousands stage another protest against plans for an extradition law, which has now been suspended. i confess we have not been as effective as we would like to communicate with the people, to justify this very good objective which is worth doing. tory leadership contender dominic raab says his party will be "toast" if britain isn't out of the eu by the end of october and accuses parliament of trying to ‘steal‘ brexit from the voters. the damage it is doing to businesses, many of whom come to me and say we just want to know what you are doing. but also this corrosion of public trust, and the tory part will be toast unless we're out by the end of october. hundreds of people in lincolnshire still can't go back

to their homes because of flooding, descibed by the environment agency as "unprecedented". around 48 million people may be affected by a huge electrical power failure in argentina and uruguay. millions tune in to watch the biggest clash in world cricket as india meet pakistan in manchester in the world cup. good afternoon. hundreds of thousands of protestors are back on the streets in hong kong, a day after the territory's chief

executive, carrie lam, suspended highly controversial plans to allow extradition to the chinese mainland. within the last hour carrie lam has apologised to the public with "utmost sincerity and humility". the demonstrators are calling for the proposals to be completely withdrawn and for mrs lam to resign. our china correspondent, stephen mcdonell, has spent the day at the protests. hong kong's streets are again a sea of protest, a day after the government was forced into a humiliating back—down. it's delayed a bill to allow for people to be sent to mainland chinese courts, where demonstrators say a free trial is not possible. but those marching are demanding more. they want the plan scrapped altogether. basically, we shouldn't let the government have all power to us because we have our own freedom of rights and freedom of speech and this is why we are out here. if the bill is passed, hong kong will have no democracy anymore. this is not acceptable. i have come here today and also my parents, and all my friends came here today.

because we are really upset about this. if this happened, hong kong is over. many in the crowd have blamed hong kong's leader, carrie lam, for instigating this crisis. they say the chief executive pushed ahead with extradition in the face of clear mass opposition. now they want something else from her. the death of a protester last night contributed to a sombre mood. he had fallen from a building. people wore ribbons and carried flowers in his memory. if the idea was to take the steam out of the protest movement by delaying this bill, as you can see, it hasn't exactly worked. the other people watching this are the politburo standing committee in beijing. these are all chinese citizens and this is a clear act of defiance from people who are saying that any attempt to erode their freedoms will be resisted in the streets. there is a renewed belief

in the power of protest here and, as long as the threat of extradition remains, a large proportion of the population seem prepared to mobilise in order to stop it. stephen mcdonell, bbc news, hong kong. five of the six conservative leadership candidates are preparing to go head—to—head in theirfirst televised debate tonight. however, borisjohnson, the frontrunner in the race, will not be taking part. five of the six conservative leadership candidates are preparing to go head—to—head in theirfirst televised debate tonight. however, borisjohnson, the frontrunner in the race, will not be taking part. the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, has said choosing mrjohnson as the next tory leader would mean britain leaving the eu without a deal. our political correspondent, nick eardley, reports. five of the six conservative leadership candidates are preparing catch him if you can. boris johnson is the frontrunner to be our next pm, and he still is keeping his head down. he won't be at the first tv debate tonight, but his rivals know he is the man to catch. jeremy hunt thinks he can make up the ground, but unlike mrjohnson,

he's not promising brexit will be done by the end of october. this morning, he wouldn't even commit to definitely leaving this year. why? because he wants a new deal and believes europe could be open to it. they say that if they were approached by a british prime minister, someone they're willing to deal with, who had ideas as to how to solve the northern irish border, they would be willing to renegotiate the package. the problem — time and time again europe has ruled out reopening the withdrawal agreement, and some tories fear this could go on and on and on. when people voted, they voted to leave. we haven't left yet and that is why we are seeing notjust the uncertainty for the economy and the damage it is doing to businesses, many of whom just want to know what we are doing, but also this corrosion of public trust and the tory party will be toast unless we are out by the end of october. dominic raab questioned borisjohnson‘s brexit plan and others have too. like rory stewart, the unlikely celebrity of the leadership race. he says he wouldn't serve in a johnson government

and believes his brexit strategy doesn't stand up to serious scrutiny. because nobody has yet had the chance to question him, and as soon as you question him, as soon as i sit down with him and ask the big question how, how are you going to deliver brexit, how are you going to get no—deal through, then it begins to come off the rails. there is a clearfrontrunner in the race to call this place home, but borisjohnson‘s rivals insist there is a long way to go. tonight, without him, they will take part in the first tv debate, hoping they can do something to stop this contest becoming a foregone conclusion. well, earlier i spoke to nick eardley, and i started by asking him what the five leadership contestants who are participating in tonight's tv debate are hoping to get out of it. pop against

stu rt. sturt. the next big vote of the conservative party is on tuesday. at that point to the candidates will need 33 mps backing them to stay in the race. that is going to be challenging for at least two of them. we know that dominic raab and rory stewart were a bit of that number in the first ballot so they will be looking to make up the numbers. over the next couple of days there will be a series of votes where the lowest rank person is eliminated and by thursday we will have the final two and then it is down to knock you and i but tory members. a number of candidates have been speaking and a lot of the fire is being turned on the front runner, borisjohnson. is is being turned on the front runner, boris johnson. is it likely is being turned on the front runner, borisjohnson. is it likely to hurt them or boris moore?|j borisjohnson. is it likely to hurt them or boris moore? i think it is a question now of what can they do to

get anywhere near borisjohnson? they have to take risks. you heard rory stewart, he has not been shy of criticising borisjohnson rory stewart, he has not been shy of criticising boris johnson for various things, his brexit plan, his relu cta nce various things, his brexit plan, his reluctance to be interviewed or appear in public at, for example, the hustings on channel 4 tonight. the more broad question is how far they go with that. the reason boris johnson gives for not taking part in some of these events is that if he does there will be too much blue on blue action, people need to catch up with him so they will be perhaps more prepared to have a go. do we have confirmation from boris that he will take part in the debate on the bbc on tuesday? he will take part and the hope in boris's camp is that by that point the number will have

been reduced significantly, two or three candidates will drop out on tuesday so it will be boris johnson versus potentially to others. the idea is then that they are battling ideas rather than ganging up on him. two teenagers have been charged with the murder of an 18—year old man who was stabbed to death at wandsworth in south london on friday. scotland yard said 18—year—old mohamed nadir dafallah and a 17—year—old boy have been charged. a huge electrical power failure is affecting large parts of latin america. it's left all of argentina and uruguay without power, according to a major argentine electricity provider. the combined population of argentina and uruguay is about 48 million people. reports said the power cut had also affected parts of brazil and paraguay. emergency services dealing with severe floods in lincolnshire

are now preparing for more rainfall, with storms forecast on tuesday. police drones have been monitoring water levels overnight after nearly 600 homes were evacuated in wainfleet, near skegness. residents now face more uncertainty, with bad weather threatening to put more pressure on the river steeping. some residents were left with up to a metre of water in their homes when the river burst its banks after two months worth of rain fell in just two days. our reporter luxmy gopal has been in wainfleet today, and we asked her about those who have been evacuated. some of them have been moved to a shelter in nearby skegness, and others have had to stay in friends' houses. some of them are double evacuees, in that they were moved out of their homes on wednesday when the flooding first began and moved to friends' houses, and yesterday those properties were also evacuated.

the flooding began on wednesday when the river steeping burst its banks when two months' worth of rain fell in just two days. there is a fear that could happen again. behind me, the pumping station, which emergency crews are desperately trying to keep working to keep channeling the water away to prevent further flooding. there is a concern that at points where the flood defences are weak and vulnerable, the river could burst its banks again. that is why the raf chinook returned yesterday to put in gravel and sand to shore up the defences to plug any potential breach. emergency teams say they might be here till friday because we have some weather warnings issued for tuesday with heavy rain expected. the environment agency is doing what it can to try to mitigate the effects of that, bringing in some big hydraulic pumps to help the efforts to channel the water away, but because of the heavy rainfall

expected, it is not clear what the situation will be over the next few days, but it is certain that the residents of wainfleet will not be able to return to their homes any time soon. us president donald trump has once again taken to twitter to criticise mayor of london sadiq khan. retweeting a post from the right—wing commentator katie hopkins, he said, "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. dr brian klaas is a political scientist at university college london and says that these tweets are more than just an online feud between the two politicians. trump and sadiq khan have had a twitter spat back and forth for some time now.

i think what's notable about this tweet in particular is trump is amplifying katie hopkins, who is viewed, i think rightly, in this country as quite an extreme far—right figure. and the tweet that he retweeted had serious anti—muslim bigotry embedded into it. it is another one of these long—standing feuds that is layered on top of trump's long—standing animosity, and i would say bigotry, towards muslim communities. trump has made part of his platform anti—muslim bigotry. we forget sometimes that in december of 2015, trump literally said we should ban all muslims from entering the united states. it is an extremely far—right position to have, so this foil of sadiq khan is usefulfor him politically as he heads into the 2020 election campaign. i also think it's important that we don't lose sight of how unusual and unacceptable it is to mainstream these comments. katie hopkins has compared migrants to cockroaches and used dehumanising language. for the president of the united states to again retweet one of these figures, previously he retweeted jayda fransen, who is the leader

of britain first, an islamophobic hate group here, you know, it's a very dangerous territory to wade into. 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, in prison. you can't see that, but we said if she was going to do it, we'd go on hunger strike here. obviously you can see me, and we're doing it in front of the iranian embassyjust all the time she's going through it, we'll go through it with her. 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 — it made its displeasure known in a meeting with britain's ambassador. foreign secretaryjeremy hunt, who met richard ratcliffe yesterday, has urged iran to put any differences aside and show compassion to nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, to allow her to return home to herfamily. for her husband and their supporters the wait continues, with no response yet to the protest

from the iranian authorities. the headlines on bbc news... hong kong's leader apologises as hundreds of thousands stage another protest against plans for an extradition law, which has now been suspended. tory leadership contender dominic raab says his party will be "toast" if britain isn't out of the eu by the end of october, and he accuses parliament of trying to ‘steal‘ brexit from the voters. hundreds of people in lincolnshire still can't go back to their homes because of flooding, described by the environment agency as "unprecedented". and the chelsea manager has left the clu b to and the chelsea manager has left the club tojoin and the chelsea manager has left the club to join italian champions juventus. he had one season at sta mford juventus. he had one season at stamford bridge, leading them to third on the table and winning the

lot of excitement here. i am in a cricket ground in the centre of islamabad where a few hundred people have gathered to watch the match on a big screen. it is a bit quieter right now because everyone is waiting for pakistan's innings to start. everyone in the country has been talking about the game, including the prime minister imran khan, a former cricketing hero. he took to twitter to offer the team some tactical advice, which i should say they seem to have ignored. i am joined by one of the fans. how do you think the game is going? do you think things will change with pakistan winning today?” think things will change with pakistan winning today? i hope so. it has been disappointing so far but we are waiting for pakistan to be batting and we are hoping for a couple of centuries. you haven't given up hope just yet.

fans. what has the atmosphere been like here? you are all acting like you have already won. exactly! how can something like this bring the countries together? the political scenario is not so good but in the cricket world we can see both countries coming together. and we are as a team, not political. and india has won all the matches. this is our craziness coming across all over india, women are also coming here, the women's world cup. we

i had lost my salary, i had lost my reputation, i lost myjob. david sellu is a respected colorectal surgeon with over 40 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 40%. 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 illegal international trade in one of the uk's most endangered species, the european glass eel, has been exposed by a bbc investigation. a team from countryfile posing as fishermen were approached by dealers in china and russia who wanted to break an export ban. here's countryfile'sjoe crowley. our rivers are home to a range of wildlife, including the european glass eel. but today it is a critically endangered species, with laws including an export ban in place to protect it. but it is also at the heart of a £3 billion criminal network, fuelled by demand for its meat as a delicacy in asia. it is the most trafficked animal by number and by value. they leave here at1 euro each, and one year later have been grown on in the 900 eel farms of inland china, it is worth 10 euros. so 1 euro turns to 10 euros,

and that is pretty tempting. international buyers are offering up to seven times the value of a catch on the banks of rivers like the severn in gloucestershire. i posed as a fisherman online with eels to sell, and was soon contacted by international sellers looking to export them from the eu illegally. i have never done this before, how would we do it? i see, ok, ok. if it is that easy, what can be done to stop this illegal trade? do you need more resources, different legislation? i think a greater understanding of the problem.

this is a major crime. once we can get people to understand the severity of the problem we might be able to get somewhere. campaigners are calling for tougher enforcement of the laws protecting this critically endangered species. and you can seejoe's full report on countryfile on bbc one tonight at seven o'clock. the duke of cambridge has paid tribute to his children and his father on social media today. on the palace's social media account he shared pictures of him playing with his son louis, on a swing, and another of himself in his raf uniform walking on the runway with his own father, the prince of wales. the pictures were shared with the simple message, "happy father's day. " the duke and duchess of cambridge also shared a picture of their six week old son, archie mountbatten windsor with a message, "wishing a very special first father's day to the duke of sussex."

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. lauren bravo is a spice girls fan and author who wrote what would the spice girls do? how the girl power generation grew up. she went to see them at wembley on thursday night after 23 years of waiting. well, i think that's it, i think the fact that they appeal to such a young audience. and particularly young girls, they presented this vision of girl power, this feminist starter kit for a lot of women of my generation.

and it was so accessible and it was so mainstream and it was fun and it was joyous. and confident and loud and those were all things that little girls hadn't really been offered by culture before. it was really exciting. i think i'm quite satisfied, having danced myself silly on thursday night, i'm happy to call it a day. i wouldn't blame them if they wanted to keep going, i think they're obviously having the time of their lives being back together. i'm sure there would 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 necessarily but i have been enjoying emma's new solo album, so i think there will be more to come from them anyway. now it's time for a look at the weather with phil avery. let's look at the next few days across the british isles. we continue with the theme of a mixed bag. not all doom and gloom but sunday's satellite imagery show low pressure still to the west of the british isles and cloud moving into the south—west. some showers with perhaps longer spells of rain. ahead

of that, a mixture of sunny spells and showers. persistent rain for the north west of scotland, and beginning to show its hand across the south—western quarter. in the evening and overnight, persistent rain moves up the west of england through wales into the heart of scotla nd through wales into the heart of scotland and through northern ireland and it will leave a portion of the weather front to keep the rain going into parts of wales and the north west of england. and we still have persistent rain across parts of west and northern ireland and the northern half of scotland. not much changes into monday. some isobars as well so the wind will be a noticeable feature but we could see gusts of 40—45 mph. persistent rain across central and western parts of scotland and northern ireland. the weather front weakens during the day. before it fizzles

out we could
