at tohoku university's graduate school of international and cultural studies. by 52 goals to 51. let's get more on our top story now — the latest protests in hong kong. certainly the revision bonnie leung is one of the constitution is the most of the organisers of the protest. does she see it as a success? important political agenda for the prime minister and certainly you are right, he didn't get the two—thirds majority. our protest is successful in terms of 430,000 people took to the streets. and it has been totally peaceful. and, of course, because the government had been ignoring our five demands but he was just slightly below the two—thirds. only four seats short of the two—thirds. 160 out of 245. therefore, what he would probably for more than a month, try to do is to try to recruit at least four from the opposition parties and i don't think it would be even with a lot of protests, including ouri million people and 2 so much difficult for him million people turn out protests, because all the protesters will be very angry and we are so worried that he will continue to carry on.

about our fellow protesters who have just explain to our viewers why been hurt, arrested, that is so important to shinzo abe, to be able to get or prosecutors by police. this change through. as you know, the japanese constitution was instituted and so it's understandable after world war ii in 1946 and the constitution says japan cannot hold military forces however we have that our protesters what's called defence forces. therefore, the legitimacy of japanese defence forces is debatable, so what the prime minister is trying to do but still we are restraining. on the other hand, the police is legitimise, to make the presence of a japanese are not restraining themselves. defence force legitimate. as i explained before, to the press, all the clashes we have seen in the past weeks was because the police, first, they abused their powers and used batons or other weapons to attack protesters first and then protesters tried to protect themselves. i would like tojump in here. you mentioned you had more than 400 protesters on the streets. that hiro katsumata speaking ealier to ben. well, one problem that japan is grappling with is an ageing population. authorities were saying you're only 130,000 of you protesting on sunday. that means there aren't enough young these demonstrations have been workers to power its economy,

but the government has a plan going on for close to two months. to deal with the crisis — by getting more women into work, don;t you fear that china bringing in foreigners and by developing robots. will eventually interfere but are there limits in hong kong's affairs? to what we would allow robots to do? stephanie hegarty has been the beijing government is already doing their best, badmouthing the protesters. however, hong kong people and i'm to tokyo to find out. sure people from around the world, would you let a robot look after your children? we are very clever and can see through beijing's tactics. this is vevo. if you mean will beijing try to intervene with troops or with laws in hong kong, the basic law stated very clearly so aside from being super cute, that our city has to be totally u nco ntrolla ble. vevo also greets kids when they arrive and takes their temperature. he records how much they've had to eat, how much they've slept and tells their parents at the end of the day when they come to pick their kids up. aside from that this point, he doesn't do much else.

joe sadamatsu set up a series of care homes and nurseries when he was in his 20s. now it's a multimillion—dollar business. but they have one major struggle. how long do you think it will be before the whole nursery is run by robots? 15 years? that soon? for the moment, vevo is more of an idea than so the police simply ignore a revolution. the situation and four hours did not show up at all to handle the mobs. shit so we are at a very dangerous situation. bonnie leung speaking i'll still be working. to rico hizon a short time ago. here in the uk, the prime minister theresa may will chair a meeting extraordinary glimpse into the future. as americans celebrate 50 years of the government's emergency committee, known as cobra, since neil armstrong and buzz aldrin after iran seized a british tanker. became the first people a recording has now emerged to set foot on the moon, of the moment a royal navy warship there are questions about what's next for american space exploration. tried to warn iran's revolutionary guard against taking over the vessel president trump has plans in the strait of hormuz. for a space force and a journey

to take astronauts to the international space station, including an american. and the united states is now developing new and grander plans for space travel. we are looking to nasa to get us to the moon within the next five years, to lay a foundation to go to mars. but if our traditional partners can't do the job, we are going to look to the private space industry. the technology has certainly advanced from what you'll find here at the national air and space museum in washington. some of the latest leaps are a result of the research being carried out by commercial companies, hoping to take paying passengers into orbit, like virgin galactic and blue origin, the company founded by the amazon entrepreneurjeff bezos. the only reason that we can do the things that we can do today is because we are in fact standing on the shoulders of giants. they've got the flag up now. and yet, five decades on, much remains unknown. beautiful, just beautiful. and no—one can be sure where the next half—century of exploration will take us. chris buckler, bbc news, washington.

you have been watching newsday. i'm ben bland in london. and i'm rico hizon in singapore. stay with us. and before we go, we'd like to leave you with these pictures from thailand where farmers have celebrated the start of the sowing season by racing their buffaloes. they got them to sprint across a muddy field hoping to win a top prize of $100. the race is held near bangkok to show their appreciation for the animals. it all looks rather exhausting. here in the uk, races are held in a somewhat more leisurely manner. these are the world snail racing championships where more than 160 snails raced against each other. it's part of a festival held in norfolk in the east of england, dating back more than 50 years. sammy the snail won the grand final by completing the 33 centimeters course in 2 minutes 38 seconds. one shell of a competition!

hello. it has been a bit of a mixed weekend weatherwise but as we head through this coming week, it's going to be all eyes on the temperature because things are turning increasingly hot and humid too. not dry for all of us. some rain in the north—west during the course of monday and later in the week, we're expecting some thundery downpours to develop. and the reason for the heat and humidity is that we've got high pressure sitting to the east of the uk, with the winds rotating around that, drawing in all this hot air from continental europe, and it is particularly hot. in fact, in paris, we could see temperatures up to 42 celsius later this week, which would break the all—time temperature record recorded in the french capital. we've had this line of cloud and weather fronts pouring in from the atlantic during sunday night and through the day on monday, they're going to be bringing further rain, initially across northern ireland

the west of scotland. further south, it's a mild and quite a murky start to your monday morning so we've got quite a lot of that low cloud, lingering around western hills and coasts through the day but elsewhere, the cloud should tend to in and break across much of england, northern ireland too. that rain pushing its way northwards, so sitting across western scotland for much of the day were it will be quite heavy and persistent but in the sunshine, temperatures up to about 28 or 29 degrees. it'll feel pleasantly hot monday afternoon and then into monday evening, we eventually lose that wet weather from the north of scotland, lingering through the course of the night, but by tuesday morning, most of us dry with some clear spells, a bit of patchy cloud here and there are those temperatures from the word go will be in the mid—to—high teens so through the day on tuesday, probably the driest day of the week across the uk. lots of long spells of sunshine with a southerly breeze, top temperatures by tuesday towards the south—east up to about 33 or even 34 degrees. further north—west, we're looking at those temperatures into the mid or possibly high 20s so a hot sunny day with light winds on tuesday but as we had to tuesday night, it's going to be fairly warm, fairly uncomfortable for sleeping.

in fact, about 10pm, temperatures still nearly 30 degrees so you'll certainly notice that things are going to feel pretty sticky through the course of tuesday night and with all that humidity, heavy showers and thunderstorms are possible, they're likely to push northwards tuesday night and through the course of wednesday, some uncertainty about where they are going to be, probably the north and west. the south—east likely to stay dry through the day on wednesday and here, temperatures could well reach about 32 degrees or so. again, it is another hot day for most of us but a little fresher in the far north—west. things continue to heat up later in the week. 35 in london on thursday but do watch out more heavy and thundery showers, mainly in the north—west. bye for now.

hello. i'm ben bland with bbc world news. our top story: there has been another night of violent clashes in hong kong.

riot police fired tear gas at pro—democracy protesters during a mass rally. police say demonstrators threw bricks and petrol—bombs, and refused to disperse. the protests began two months ago over a controversial extradition bill. iran risks inflaming tension over the seizure of a british oil tanker after replacing the union flag with it's own standard on the ship's mast. the british government meets later to discuss its next move. and there's a lot of interest in this on bbc.com. the irish golfer shane lowry braved howling wind and rain to claim his first major title with a victory in the open championship. he finished six shots ahead of england's tommy fleetwood. he described the achievement as "an out—of—body experience". that's all. stay with bbc world news.
