police have clashed again with protesters in hong kong, on the anniversary of the territory's handover from britain to china. pepper spray was used on activists who smashed their way into a government building, while tear gas helped disperse thousands of people, demanding the government withdraw a bill allowing extradition to the chinese mainland. our diplomatic correspondent james landale reports. the clashes began early in the morning, small scuffles turning violent as police struggled to hold the protestors back. they want the government to scrap a draft law making it easier for people to be extradited to china, what they see asa extradited to china, what they see as a threat to hong kong's autonomy and they show no sign of wanting to give up. the government leave us no choice. they never respond to us, we have nothing to do but to fight. we have nothing to do but to fight. we have to fight and therefore the government will listen to us.

when these demonstrations began last months they were peaceful but now this, some preparing notjust to protect themselves but also seemingly to fight back. this is what the protests were trying to disrupt. ceremonies marking the 22nd anniversary of the hands over of the former british colony to china. hong kong's chief executive has suspended the drafted law, but not abandoned it entirely, even though she claims she is listening. translation: i as a politician have to remind myself all the time of the need to grasp public sentiment accurately. i am fully aware while we have good intentions we need to be open and accommodating.

the protest move to hong kong's parliament with some trying to force their way into the body they hope will block the extradition law. some pro—democracy leaders claim government supporters are behind the violence, trying to provoke the police. either way, violence, trying to provoke the police. eitherway, local legislators are worried. this is very chaotic, these situations are out of control. this is very dangerous here, both for the protestors and for the security guards and the police, so i urge carrie lam to come out and speak to the people, to have a communication, to stop this chaotic situation, now this is very urgent. but amid the small pockets of violence more peaceful protests too. many thousands gathering in hong kong's park to defend the freedoms granted by thejoint declaration park to defend the freedoms granted by the joint declaration agreed by britain and china that some say britain and china that some say britain should do more to protect.

frankly the chinese have been breaking their word on the joint declaration, that they claim it doesn't operate after 1997, the british government should make clear in the un, in europe, so long as we are there, and elsewhere it does apply for 50 years after 1997. every year there are demonstrations on the anniversary of the hand over, but rarely like this. the crowds in hong kong show little sign of giving up. james landale our correspondent nick beake is in hong kong. ican i can see many people still on the streets where you are, is there a fear that beijing may get tough to end the protests? clive, this has been an extraordinary day for hong kong, and it is not over yet. tonight this is a city of anger and of chaos, certainly at this particular place, this is the main building that the demonstrators in

their thousand have been surrounding today. many people are sitting down but you may also be able to hear the cha nts but you may also be able to hear the chants of the crowd. they are going nowhere, the anger is real here, and throughout the day they have been pummelling the glass windows of this building, some smashing their way through. in terms of the response from beijing we don't know what will happen. this was supposed to be a symbolic day, 22 years from the moment back in 1997, when this place, a former british colony was handed to the chinese. if this is supposed to be part of china it doesn't feel like it tonight. these protestors are going nowhere, that is despite the fact the police have come out in the past hour and said this is a red warning, which means they believe the protestors have committed criminal acts and if they don't leave, they will be liable for prosecution in the coming days and weeks, but you know, that is all ahead of us, for now it is tense, it is hard to see what will happen. there has been no sign of the riot police although we are sure they are waiting in the wings.

in terms of this protest movement, it is no longer a specific anger about a piece of legislation that people don't like, it is a wider movement. people are talking about revolution, democracy and in some cases a future free from the control of the chancellor, philip hammond, has again warned the two contenders hoping to become the next prime minister, that there'll be no extra money to meet their spending pledges, in the event of a no—deal brexit. his comments come as both jeremy hunt and borisjohnson unveil further plans to cut taxes and increase spending, with mr hunt also hardening his stance on a no deal. remember this? there isn't a magic money tree we can shake that suddenly prodivide for everything that people want. things have changed. the conservatives are a lot more relaxed, about promises to splash the cash. jeremy hunt wants

£6 billion ready to help key industries deal with a no—deal brexit. we spentjust over a trillion pounds, bailing out the banks trillion pounds, bailing out the ba n ks after trillion pounds, bailing out the banks after the financial crisis. so if we did it for the banker, why wouldn't we do it for the fishermen and farmers as well? it is not the only area he is getting his cheque book ready. he has promised if he is the next prime minister to increase spending on defence, cut corporation tax, put more money into social care, build new homes, and write off tuition fees for entrepreneurs. we have built up head room, £6 billion of head room which makes it possible to make the commitments i am making today while sticking to our plans to reduce the deficit and reduce our national debt as a proportion of gdp. boris johnson out and about this morning, talking about the importance of fair pay in the public sector. where is the magic money tree? if you look at it we have a

very carefully costed programme and the key thing that we want to be investing in, is education levelling up investing in, is education levelling up spending on education round the country, that is something that is very widely supported in parliament nowen and across school in the country. his spending pledges are mounting up too. income tax costs that will cost billion, more police, cash for social care, and funding for schools. it all feels very different to the authority in spending cuts of the past decade, the conservatives insist the public purse is now in a better place but policies cost money, both men will have to find it. the current chancellor though warned today without a brexit deal the monday will disappear. economists have warned more borrowing might be needed. making campaign pledges can be easy, delivering them more from our chief political

correspondent norman smith. norman, first of all, loss of pledges but where is the cash coming from? boris johnson was in a garden centre this morning and you can only think in the shrubbery section she came across a funny money bush, he is promising a lot of spend, we had the extraordinary sight of the current chancellor stepping in to say happening on where is this money? they are both men talking about the £26 billion of head room set aside by the chancellor, but that is not money he has turp tucked down the back of the sofa, that is spare borrowing capacity within our existing fiscal rules and in in case, that borrowing capacity has already been earmarked to spend on trying to mitigate the possible consequences of a no—deal brexit. here is the paradox, despite these grandiose spending promise, probably not going to make much difference in

this tory leadership contest where the electorate are tory voters and their number one concern is brexit, not money, and that is why we saw jeremy hunt today significantly toughening up his no—deal credential, saying in effect he will present the eu with a new brexit deal, in september, and if they haven't clearly said to him by the start of october yes, we are prepared to negotiate on this, then he would take britain without any sort of agreement. and you suspect it is that sort of argument, that sort of terrain between the two men, thatis sort of terrain between the two men, that is going to be the decisive factor in this contest, not who has the magic money tree or that funny money bush. all right norman iran has breached the limit on its stockpile of enriched uranium, set under the 2015 nuclear deal. the move is in defiance of a warning by european signatories to the agreement, and follows america's withdrawal from the deal last year.

our diplomatic correspondent paul adams is here. stockpiling uranium paul, how significant is it that tehran has gone over the limit? it is significant if only for symbolic reason this is the first time in four years iran has breached its commitment to that nuclear agreement. up to now it has been sticking resolutely to the letter and the spirit of the agreement, so any sign of it backing away is not good. it is a small reversible step but it is the first of two steps which the iranians have threated, the second which maybe a week away would be for them to start enriching uranium toa would be for them to start enriching uranium to a higher concentration, taken together, that would mean that iran would be nudging a little bit closer once again, to the ability to develop a nuclear weapon and that was the point of the 2015 agreements, to keep that break out time as it is known as arm's length, round a year, so that is no—one wa nts round a year, so that is no—one wants that, why that are they doing it? because a year ago donald trump

walked away from the deal himself, he has applied what they call maximum pressure on the iranian regime, punishing sanctions which have crippled the iranian economy when they thought they were going to rea p when they thought they were going to reap the rewards of the deal and so what iran is doing is hitting back and saying this will come with a cost. but the international response to this is complicated by the fact that the european union and america signatories to this original deal are at loggerheads. they are. the european sponsors, the e3 britain france and germany are trying to keep the deal alive, just last week, they formalised a mechanism which would allow some limited trade with iran, and avoid us sanction, it very early days and people are pretty frankly pessimistic about the ability of that arrangement to give iran what it wants, but it is very much an international community at loggerheads over what it wants, to do with iran, and i think the danger

is, that as iran itself begins to walk away, it starts to push the europeans perhaps into washington's camp, because no—one wants to see iran properly in breach of the 2015 agreement, once again, within sight of acquiring a nuclear weapon. that perhaps is what the americans are trying to do, to win the americans over into their camp, the europeans eu leaders meeting in brussels remain divided, over who should get top european union jobs, with talks suspended until tomorrow. they're arguing mainly over a successor to the commission president, jean—claude juncker. there had been hopes of a deal last night. diplomats say the summit‘s chair, donald tusk, proposed the dutch centre—left politician, frans timmermans, to succeed mrjuncker. the president of el salvador says his country is to blame for the deaths of a man and his daughter who drowned

trying to reach the united states. photographs of the bodies of oscar and valeria martinez caused shock around the world. here's daniela relph. they lined up to pay their respects to the father and daughter who died in search of a better life. at the funeral home where oscar martinez and his two—year—old daughter valeria now rest, tributes to them from those who knew them best. it is a time of personal heartbreak for family and friends. translation: it's hard because he travelled with his daughter, risking himself, but it's because of the situation the country is in. the death of oscar and valeria has left el salvador grappling with the desperation so many there feel. now the president has said his country and his government must take responsibility. they fled our country, it is ourfault. we haven't been able to provide anything — not a decentjob, not a decent school. what if this little girl had a decent school here,

a decent health care system for her and her family, a decent house, with water supply, a job for his parents, for his mother and his dad. a decentjob. yesterday valeria's mother appeared before the media looking frail and traumatised. she watched from the river bank as her partner and child died crossing the rio grande. many are still making that crossing, looking for something that their own country isn't able to offer. but the graphic image of a father and daughter lying dead in these waters has focused minds. it is a tragedy that has now prompted el salvador‘s president to accept blame and promise to make the country a safer and better place. daniela relph, bbc news. a number of high profile figures, including sir cliff richard, have launched a parliamentary petition, calling for a change in the law to protect the anonymity of suspected sex offenders,

before they're charged. the singer says he could have avoided some of the damage and distress his reputation has suffered, if he hadn't been named when he was falsely accused in 2014. our legal correspondent clive coleman joins us from central london. well, this petition seeks anonymity for those suspected of sexual offences, unless and until they are charged with those offences. sir cliff richard has personal experience of this. in 2014 his home was raided by police. the bbc were tipped off, the bbc put up a helicopter and sir cliff richard was named. he was never charged with any offence, he was never even arrested. today at the launch of this petition he spoke of his experience. i felt that i was in this hole that i couldn't get out of, and even though i had fantastic support the whole time, the public support was wonderful

and very obvious, i still had to go to bed at night thinking, "what is happening to me? i don't know how to change this or end it." we actually have anonymity for those suspected of rape between 1976 and 1988 and it was done away with on the basis that why should there be anonymity for rape but not for other serious offences? those who are in favour of this reform say it is vital to protect people from being accused of offences which have a unique stain and a unique stigma but those who are against it say, look, there is a real risk that if we change the law, victims will not have the confidence to come forward and make the claims against people who may have power and influence over them, unless those people are publicly named. this petition has gone live today and it needs 100,000 signatures in order to get a debate in parliament. clive, thank you.

the time is 1:18. our top story this lunchtime. protestors try to storm the main government building in hong kong, as police clash with thousands of protestors, on the anniversary of the handover to china. coming out, we are live at wimbledon where there has already been cause for british success on the opening day. coming up on bbc news. sri lanka dominate in durham. they start well against west indies at the men's cricket world cup, although neither side remains in contention for a place in the semifinals. the mexican city of guadalajara has been hit by a severe hailstorm, which dumped more than a metre of ice in the subtropical region. cars had to be abandoned half buried, with their drivers trapped inside, and around 500 homes have been damaged. troops have now been deployed to help residents, as sangita myska reports. breaking through ice

packed two metres deep, industrial diggers lead the clear up operation in guadalajara. a freak hailstorm has left parts of the city, which is one of mexico's most populous, paralysed. from the sky, a white sheet appears to have settled across the landscape, encasing hundreds of cars. their drivers used garden spades to prise them out. meanwhile, families bring children to clamber over the temporary terrain that has caused curiosity and frustration in equal measure. the city had until now been experiencing temperatures of 30 celsius. so, what caused the hailstorm? hail in mexico is not unusual. hail in hot parts of the world is not unusual. in fact, heat is one of the ingredients you need to develop the big, towering cumulonimbus clouds with ice crystals moving up and down, drawing together, growing in size

and then falling out of the cloud as hail. but obviously, this much hail in a short space of time, that is quite unusual. though guadalajara's main highways have largely reopened, it could be days before this city of five million people is entirely back on the move. in the meantime, authorities say it is a miracle that no—one has been injured. sangita myska, bbc news. the inquest has opened into the deaths of the attackers involved in the london bridge attack two years ago. the hearings are being held in front of a jury, unlike the inquests into the deaths of the victims, which ended last week. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford is at the old bailey. why arejury this why are jury this time a not last week? whenever anyone is killed by the act of a police officer, a jury has to be involved in the inquest. the 11 jurors today were told they

would be hearing the ingress of khuram butt, rachid redouane and use of zaghba, the three men who carried out the london attack when they were shot by armed police officer. the jury shot by armed police officer. the jui’y were shot by armed police officer. the jury were told they have killed two people on london bridge and then had stabbed six more people to death. they were in the process of stabbing another man on stony street in borough market when they were confronted by armed officers and short. thejury were confronted by armed officers and short. the jury were told they aren't officers actually continued to fire several times over the following minutes because there were fears the men might detonate suicide belts that the police thought they we re belts that the police thought they were wearing although in fact they we re were wearing although in fact they were fake. the jury were told there would be a hearing —— like they would be a hearing —— like they would be a hearing —— like they would be hearing from the armed officers although they will not be identified by their real names, just by call signs, a collection of letters a nd by call signs, a collection of letters and numbers. because the anonymity is being preserved by the inquest process. the jury were told that on wednesday, they will visit

the scene where the three attackers we re the scene where the three attackers were shot dead by armed police. they will go there in person to see what the scene looks like so they can understand the geography a bit better. that will start on wednesday when the rest of the evidence will also continue. daniel, thank you. from today, all mobile phone customers will be able to switch provider by simply sending a free text message. the regulator, ofcom, decided to streamline the process, after a survey suggested around a third of customers found switching too difficult. our business correspondent theo leggett is here. how difficult was it in the past to be able to switch? what ofcom says is that it surveyed customers in many of them found it was an owners process. the change from one provider to another, you need something called a pac code. people had to phone of their provider to get that and phoning up, many people

find they were put on hold, had to go through lots of menus and in some cases were faced with a hard sell by a company trying to persuade them not to leave. so now you can cut out all of that, you canjust not to leave. so now you can cut out all of that, you can just send a text to a particular number and you will get a text back with the code you need, which you can pass on to your new provider. there is something else, there is no longer going to be notice periods where you have to give a month's notice to your provider even if you are out of contract in order to change. in other words, you will not end up with a situation where you might be paying two companies at the same time. that's what the idea behind this streamlining is about. thank you very much. how do you feel about the idea of applying for your nextjob by video link? technology is now playing an increasingly bigger role in world of recruitment. over half of employers questioned by the bbc say video interviews are on the rise. our consumer affairs correspondent colletta smith has been to liverpool where students are being trained for technology led recruitment. there are lots of things that appeal

to me about this role. i'm excited about meeting new people. it'll actually video you doing the interview, so companies can actually see you prerecorded, so you won't actually be speaking to anyone. the world of work and the kind of studying... gives them an opportunity to see you and how you are in real life, in person. so that means... students here at liverpool uni are able to practise on software now used by lots of big firms. the tech behind these video answers can do more than you might imagine. they'll look at facial movement, they'll listen to the tone of your voice, and they believe they can really accurately predict now certain character traits just through using the ai technology on your video interview. things like your level of conscientiousness, your level of enthusiasm, how much you smile, but also whether you're an introvert or extrovert character as well. so that wealth of information is going to be really helpful for employers. am i looking in the right place do you think there? yes, definitely.

i think you have the right angle, but if anything it'll be a white background as well. so that's important thinking about what's behind you. what's behind you, yes. definitely. making sure you've not got your washing up or... at the moment it tends to be bigger companies who are using video interviews, and artificial intelligence. for certain types of roles, we work with a number of clients, say within the retail sector, where you know, they're doing high volumes of recruitment and they're looking for ways of saving time, and also being able to really clear sort of vast numbers of applicants through to people that they're really serious about. i'm as ready as i'll ever be. those representing the recruitment industry say these issues need to be considered before making a selection. we've got some older workers perhaps, you might not be as savvy with the technology that we're using, so i think we need to be quite mindful to be as inclusive and fair as possible, to encourage a wider talent pool to apply.

perfect. how do you feel about that one? honestly i feel, it's definitely — my heart rate is going. whether it's a time saver or another hurdle in a difficultjobs market, as technology improves, recorded video interviews will become more common. coletta smith, bbc news, liverpool. the wimbledon championships are under way, with the men's top seed, novak djokovic, beginning the defence of his singles title on centre court. thousands of tennis fans camped out overnight, to ensure a seat for some of the day's action. our sports correspondent david ornstein is at the all england club for us. the gates opened at 10:30 this morning and i can tell you that the excitable spectators that flooded into the ground, it was a sight to behold. the sun is shining, champagne, strawberries and cream are all in full flow. there is the rather important matter of a major

tennis tournament up and running too. already it has been a good start for britain. the orderly surge that signals the start of the sporting summer. for the pomp and play, people flock. this festival of a fortnight always a favourite among british public. their main hope in the men's draw is kyle edmund, who a year ago gave novak djokovic a scare in round three, and he will return to the scene of that defeat to begin his campaign this time around. it'll be nice to be back here playing, an exciting match to be on centre court again. it was a nice surprise when i saw that. always exciting to be back at wimbledon and centre court. the only other home player in action on the opening day has been heather watson and she overcame 17—year—old rising star katie mcnally to mark her tenth consecutive appearance at the all england club in style. wimbledon will always have its tradition, but it is evolving.

available for the first time this year is a retractable roof on court one, where later today old will also meet new, and that's the most eagerly anticipated match of the first round. it pits the oldest player in the women's draw against the youngest. cori gauff used to idolise venus and her sister serena williams. now she is to share a stage with venus. i'm living the dream, i guess. i kind of felt like i was going to play one of them. many people were like, do you like your draw? i love my draw. playing one of the greatest players of all time is absolutely a dream and just to see how my game or match up against her, i'm 15 and she is 39. it is a big age difference. i mean, she has won this tournament five times, i think. i'm excited to see how i do. from a potential great to one who's already made it. top seed and defending champion djokovic the headline act on centre court. it is names like these that those

crowds are here to see. so, djokovic is on court now against philipp kohlschreiber. not easy but he should win. they are followed by naomi osaka and then it's time for kyle edmund. tomorrow we will see a host of british players not to mention ash barty, roger federer and rafa nadal. no andy murray in the singles as he continues to recover from hip surgery, but we will see him in the doubles. david, thank you. lovely weather down there in south london. will it continue? it looks like it is going to behave itself in the week ahead as well, unbelievably! are weather watchers have been showing us the contrasts in the weather today. western coasts looking more like this with thicker cloud. sheltered southern and eastern coasts, rather more like

this. seeing blue
