his own staff members don't even take him seriously, let alone members of this great city. this isn't the first time we've had comments like this from donald hello and welcome. more than a thousand people have trump. been arrested in moscow how do you think the republican during unauthorised protests party should be responding against the banning of many opposition candidates from local elections. when he says things like this there were scuffles as police and takes to twitter dispersed groups of protesters, who responded with anti—putin chants. and repeats these comments? the authorities say around 30 candidates failed to collect enough valid signatures, but the barred so, we know that every candidates say they've been blocked for political reasons. the bbc‘s oleg boldyrev was at today's demonstration — republican is not a racist, and sent us this report. but, if you are racist, then you are probably a republican. and when we see other republicans cheering him on, police told muscovites not to come retweeting what he says, orjust sitting on the sidelines out for this unsanctioned protest, but a few thousand people turned up and not saying anything, we know that they are condoning his racism. anyway, and very soon many of them we know that they believe him, paid for it by being dragged into custody. they support him, and theyjust the arrests were met with defiance. are pretty much are solidly agreeing so the police are trying to push on some of the disgusting back the protesters, things he's saying. who came here because the candidates they support were not allowed to participate in the elections. we don't know how many people came to protest, but certainly there are plenty well, i'm sure many republicans of people angry that the candidates would dispute your assertion, that if you're racist, they've been supporting were denied you're a republican, the chance to participate but i wonder if part of the problem in the vote. here is not enough donald trump supporters are concerned

about this sort of language? those who come out despite police warnings are used to sights like this, but they voice their anger again and again. "i'm against these thieves," he says. "president putin, moscow mayor, prime minister, they're like a gang, no, if you are a racist, simply taking and taking from russia." election authorities say the grounds you are more likely to identify for dismissing the candidates with the values of the republican party. are legitimate because signatures i'm sure many republicans gathered in their support were invalid. would dispute the claim. well, these citizens are not buying it. sorry. the opposition hopes that this anger around city elections will snowball into a wider anti—establishment campaign. but, committed as they are, (crosstalk). these protesters weren't out in the numbers capable of doing that. oleg boldyrev, bbc news, moscow. do you think that perhaps — it would be better, or are you concerned that some donald trump supporters aren't coming out enough against this language, even though they might support donald trump's policies? i think itjust shows their true colours. hong kong has been engulfed by huge if i voted for a person or that anti—government protests for nearly person was affiliated with something eight weeks now, and it's i believed in and i've seen that still unclear how china will react person saying evil and hateful to the increasingly violent demonstrations. in the latest confrontation, and disgusting things, police fired tear gas the first thing i would do is come at an unauthorised protest held by tens of thousands of people up and against it.

could also be found at the property. and they don't know how to go home. translation: we don't know anything for now — if she's dead or not. she's a great child, what can i say? this is outrageous. so, as responsible citizens and as a man, i think it's my duty, my obligation, to go there and to save some people speaks romanian. responding to the apparent from the station. failings in the case, the interior minister said he wouldn't tolerate police workers who didn't do theirjob properly and has fired the chief of police, who was made to appear alongside him at a police conference. so i drove there around 11:30pm, "i accept my dismissal," mr buda said, "since we had some inadequate interventions that i hold i arrived there, and i tried to calm myself responsible for." people down, as people who might recognise me and i can talk to them. so i urged people to leave the investigation, meanwhile, in groups, and actually i drove three kids home. is rapidly developing. the searches of a lake near the suspect‘s property revealed a suitcase filled with clothes and the remains of a partly burnt human body. and then i go back, i rushed back chanting. to the scene and i tried to pick up the failure to rescue a teenage girl more. but at the same time, has shone a spotlight on romania's the thugs were rushing. police and prosecutors,

who are now under intense pressure they attacked people with metal to get a grip on this case. jon ironmonger, bbc news. bars and a wooden stake. so i ran, i tried to run you may recall from earlier this month these four united states congresswomen holding a news conference to respond to racially with the people there, charged statements made by president donald trump. representatives alexandria occasio—cortez, rashida tlaib, ilhan omar, and ayanna pressley were told by the president to go and when i looked back, there was two men surrounded by ten back and fix the "crime—infested places" from which they came. or more than ten well, now president trump has targetted yet another democratic representative — elijah cummings. taking to twitter, the president thugs, beating them. launched his attack on cummings' constituency in the eastern us state of maryland, saying its "a disgusting, it was very dangerous, rat and rodent—infested mess". the president continued saying the district, which includes the majority black city of baltimore, and i try to go back for them. is "the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the united states". 00:08:40,060 --> 2147483051:41:04,744 and that "no human being would 2147483051:41:04,744 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 want to live there". and at that moment, they target me, and they attack me with the metal bar and stake, and then i get hurt. we have seen pictures of the injuries. they're too graphic to show, but can you describe how bad your injuries were? well, i hurt my head. actually, there are eight

stitches on my head. the wound was, like, around 3—4 inches, and i have two stitches on my left legs and two on my right elbow, and there are many injuries on my back since i was hit by the bars and sticks. at any point during the attack, did you recognise who these people might be, or did you have a theory on who they might be? well, obviously, they are local gangsters. they are local. you know, yuen long, it's — there are lots of villages there, and village gangsters was always

a problem in hong kong. but, as i remember, they never had a chance to demonstrate such violence. well, in my observation, and that night, and in my own opinion, i think the policemen empower them to do the attack. they realised that they have no consequence if they hurt any people, if they did anything which is illegal. yeah. we obviously still don't know who might have influenced these gangs, or what they were doing, but the attack must have been incredibly traumatising. how — what do you think now, or how do you feel about the whole

movement and protests that has been happening? well, as a formerjournalist, i don't make accusations easily. so, when i have to make those accusations which mean the general public, many of hong kong people, are very angry and they have the same feeling, well, i talk to many strangers on the street. they show up and express their sympathy to me. well, ten out of ten — ten of them, they ask a question. where are we going? what's next? and many of them are very emotional. they're crying in front of me. and we are really helpless, since our voice was not heard

by the government, and they start suppressing the voice of people of hong kong by violence, by threats, by illegal gangster, by those unfamiliar ways that the peaceful hong kong people who don't really believe the government will do, should do. and so i'm really worried about what will happen in hong kong, since people are angry, and the policemen, they are angry to the people, so it's in a very dangerous situation. two american teenagers have been questioned by a magistrate in italy in connection with the killing of a policeman in rome. the 35—year—old officer with the carabinieri was repeatedly stabbed early on friday after trying to arrest two people suspected of stealing a bag.

good morning. bournemouth may have been the hot spot on saturday, 24.8 celsius, but of note was actually shetland. blue skies overhead, and lerwick had its warmest day in ten years. some, though, had replaced the heat, humidity, and the sunshine of recent days for cloud and rain. it was in sussex where we saw over 50 mm, two inches of rain fall. this is the weather front responsible. that weather front still with us in roughly the same areas through the day ahead. either side of it, we start with some sunshine. temperatures in single figures in the countryside in the south—west. still a humid feel, though, further north. but what we'll see on sunday is something a little bit brighter towards that far south—east corner. but much wetter in northern ireland. the risk of some minorflooding here. and we'll see some wet conditions for the isle of man, north wales, northern midlands, and around the liverpool bay area, too. a few isolated thunderstorms could develop across scotland and the far north of england later in the day under that easterly wind,

given the humidity still in place. but there'll be blue skies overhead for the far north of scotland, and here we could hit 25 degrees in the north—west highlands. still not far off that across some south—western areas, where the sunshine will dominate. if you're stuck under the cloud, it's going to be a case of temperatures in the teens again. now, our weather front will only slowly diminish across the same sort of areas as we go through into sunday night. some still very heavy rain around the northern portion of the irish sea. clearest conditions will be across some southern counties of england and wales. and away from towns and cities we could drop down into single figures. but as we go into monday, that weather front is still there, still starting to lose a bit of its oomph in the north. but it will produce lots of cloud, some low cloud at that, particularly through some eastern coasts. notice, though, what's gathering towards the south—west. it will take until later in the day before that moves in properly. so that does mean across much of wales, the midlands, southern england, lots of sunshine to begin monday, a bit of cloud bubbling up, but a very pleasant day all in all, with temperatures in the low to mid—20s. still a fair bit of cloud further north.

some sunshine breaking through, but not not quite as damp in the afternoon as it will have been in the morning. the best of the sunshine in the north of scotland. but, as we go through monday night into tuesday, this area of low pressure starts to push its way into the south—west. if you're out camping this will be of note, because it could not only bring not some widespread thunderstorms, wales, the south—west, which will spread towards the midlands and other parts of central southern england later, but strong and gusty winds which could top gale—force later in the day as well. some of the driest and brightest weather will be the further north you are. still some low cloud across scotland, but temperatures widely into the 20s even with that. and we will see temperatures still in the mid—20s where you get sunshine through this coming week, but thundery showers are likely to become that bit more widespread. bye for now.
