defied orders to disperse after an anti—government rally, instead setting up barricades and blocking streets, before rounds of tear gas were fired. this is now the eighth week of demonstrations, sparked by a proposed new bill, which would have allowed extradition to mainland china. although the plans were eventually shelved, mass protests continue, amid fears of a gradual erosion of freedoms at the hands of the authorities in beijing. our correspondent, nick beake, has sent us this report, from hong kong. gunshots they say it's one of the safest cities you can find, a peaceful place. not today, not this summer. a heavy cloud has descended on hong kong and there is no sign of it lifting. police and protesters now in a battle for the future of the place they both call home. and tonight, yet another demonstration turned to chaos. you could see it coming. the hard core of activists who don't

just throw insults refused to leave. but this fire is being fuelled by a wider movement. tens of thousands had defied a ban to march. they say they're fearful of what life will become under tighter chinese control. because it's our future. we love hong kong and we want hong kong to stay hong kong. we don't want hong kong to become china. we want our freedom. even if you know you can't achieve something, you will still do it for justice, right? activists claim the policing of these protests have been a big injustice, heavy—handed, over—the—top. tonight, more clashes after officers had decided time was up. well, this has been simmering all day and now it has erupted. police are arresting demonstrators. some seem to be injured, others choking back tear gas.

this is chaos. sunday night in hong kong. the question is, when will all of this end? hong kong's under—fire government has failed to restore calm, and so a violent weekend is drawing to a painful close. and both sides, battle—hardened, are looking to the next. nick beake, bbc news, hong kong. our correspondent in hong kong, stephen mcdonell, sent this update earlier. violence has increased here every week in hong kong. between police and protesters. they have both shown the propensity to increase on the other side. tear gas, rubber bullets, pepper spray, and every

week it seems to get worse. the pro—democracy protesters are saying all along they want a vote for their leader. it won't be something they will get in a hurry. beijing won't easily cave in and let them choose their own leader so these protests happening every week now and having monster protests over the weekend, so monster protests over the weekend, so they are not going to back down either unless they get something approaching one—vote to i—person democracy. firefighters are trying to rescue a man whose leg got trapped in rocks when the tide was coming in off the norfolk coast. with me is our news correspondent simonjones.

this is a nightmare, isn't it? absolutely. we know the coastguard received a 999 call at about 5:30pm this afternoon. we understand that was from a member of the public who saw that this man had got his leg trapped in the rocks, and that prompted this big response. we understand there are two coastguard rescue teams at the scene, along with firefighters, the police, the ambulance service, so all the emergency services there, and what they are telling us is that when they are telling us is that when they got to the scene, the water had come in, so it had actually reached the level of the man's neck, so the rescue teams are having to hold his head above the water. they've given him breathing apparatus, they've given him a life jacket, and they are saying they are trying above all to keep him calm. as this is going on, you've got firefighters who are now trying to cut through the rock to get his leg out of the rock, so for him, very frightening experience. that's what the

coastguard are saying. they are describing it as a very frightening incident. probably an understatement for the man involved in this. we have been told by the fire service this is an ongoing operation and we will hopefully get more details as to how it will progress. they are asking members of the public to stay away because there are a lot of emergency vehicles and teams there, but at the moment, this man's leg is still stuck in the rock with the water up to his neck. simon, thank you for that update. the government is now working on the assumption of a no—deal brexit — that's according to the minister michael gove. mr gove, who's now responsible for planning for such a scenario, said his team still aimed to come to an agreement with brussels but writing in the sunday times, he added, "no deal is now a very real prospect." meanwhile, the chancellor, sajid javid, has confirmed he will soon announce extra funding for no—deal preparations. rishi sunak, the chief secretary to the treasury, told sky news sophy ridge

that the government is looking at every option for brexit, including a no—deal scenario. it's absolutely right we prepare for it. we must be able to leave on our own terms. we can't be subject to the decisions of other people. we would be happy to enter into renegotiations. we want to remove this undemocratic backstop from the existing agreement but if the eu is not willing to talk about that then it is right we prepare properly, with conviction and with the financial resources that the treasury will now supply properly for all departments to make those preparations for our coming departure. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, said mr gove's comments showed how out of touch boris johnson's government is. it is an absolute disgrace, and beggars belief, that michael gove is now saying that the government is assuming we will have a no—deal brexit. this is the same michael gove who has himself admitted how dreadful and no—deal brexit would be. he said that farmers might never recoverfrom it, but now we have a government,

apparently with his full support, going full steam for no—deal. it beggars belief, and it showsjust how out of touch this boris johnson government is, and it is absolutely essential we do everything possible to stop that happening. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, said his party would do everything they could to prevent a no—deal brexit. what we are saying is no deal we'd oppose and we think people should have a final choice on it. they could have a vote then between remain or whatever option borisjohnson decides to put to them at that time. our political correspondent jonathan blake explained more about what michael gove has started to plan for a no deal brexit. i think he has outlined every possible eventuality in broad terms of leaving without a deal. as he says in the piece for the sunday times, everything from pet passports to travelling to europe. the implications will be

far—reaching, whether you see them as potentially negative or otherwise, from everything to do with how we trade with eu countries to how we travel from the uk to the european union and back and forth. it's not surprising that he has repeated borisjohnson's pledge to take the uk out of the eu by october the 31st. as he puts it, no ifs, no buts, no more delay. what i think is new and potentially interesting is the fact that he is talking about no—deal as the government's number one priority and preparing for that outcome, even if it isn't the government's desired outcome. and also, the fact that they are working on the assumption that it will happen. that is a clear step—change, i think, with theresa may's administration, where she always said it was sensible and right that the government should be preparing for a no—deal brexit, but you always got the sense it was contingency planning and sensible preparation, and not something they were banking on happening. so there is a difference

here and it's clear that the whole machinery of government, if we are to believe what mr gove says is being thrown behind the operation to prepare for a no—deal brexit. it is of course right in their view that the uk prepares the bat, but remember it's also part of the negotiating strategy to try to get the eu to believe that the uk is willing to follow through with that outcome. a change here doesn't necessarily mean a change of view in brussels, paris or berlin or the various other eu capitals, because they may well take the view that, well, they are planning and preparing for it but theyjust want us to think that that is the case, and in the end they will cave in and try to get the withdrawal agreement through again. but michael gove saying today, as we've heard from borisjohnson, the prime minister, as well, that the withdrawal agreement as it stands will not pass the house of commons. mr gove talks about it as a dish that people don't like, you can'tjust keep reheating it and offering it up again and hoping that it will go down

better the next time. they say they hope the eu will change their minds and allow changes to that deal and a new agreement to be done, but so far no sign they are going to budge. joining me now is andy maciver, former head of communications for the scottish conservatives. thank you forjoining us this evening. firstly, do you believe borisjohnson when he says he will deliver a no deal if he has to? no, i'm not convinced, i've never been convinced about that, and actually he asked his key advisor, dominic cummings, and also michael gove personally, saying he didn't believe in no deal, so the biggest problem the theresa may government had is nobody believed them when they said they could deliver no deal. i suspect what the government is trying to do is convince brussels they will leave and they won't be a no deal outcome. my suspicion is they would rather go for an election. all this talk of no deal is causing a lot of disruption to

the union. mrjohnson is promising break—up one —— to break up one while keeping another. they are unhappy that boris won in scotland and they have done a lot of scenarios and polling on the outcomes of the scotland depending on who won the leadership election and that shows the worst outcome possible for them what they boris johnson leadership, so they were unhappy about that in the first place. and then doubling their unhappiness was when david mundell was sacked, the very unhappy sacking of david mundell, and that was important to them in terms of keeping the union together, so they've not had a good week. they are not happy about what has happened with boris and they are in content. there has also been a lot of talk about the number of parties

there are in one, and we see the possibility of the scottish conservatives of breaking away. this discussion is not new. it has been going on for the best part of a decade but there is no question that it has significantly intensified since it became clear boris was going to be leader, and particularly in the last week or so. the problem scottish tories have is that in english tory membership, maybe not the mps, but certainly the membership, they are conservative first and unionist second. the scottish members are unionists first and then conservatives. it is looking as if that might not be a bridge that can be divided. the english tory party want brexit delivered at all costs and if one of those costs is the union, then they made it pretty clear and polling they are ok with that. so that is they are ok with that. so that is the big issue the scottish party has and they are very, very worried about that. boris johnson

and they are very, very worried about that. borisjohnson is radical enough to do something with the union that might solve some of the problems the tories have. you never know. do the scottish conservatives believe boris johnson know. do the scottish conservatives believe borisjohnson when he says he is willing to take guidance from his scottish colleagues? how much damage has he done to that relationship by pushing david mundell to the site? relationship by pushing david mundell to the site ?|j relationship by pushing david mundell to the site? i think the david mundell issue has no link to the relationship because they were never close anyway. let's be clear about that. boris johnson and never close anyway. let's be clear about that. borisjohnson and ruth davidson are the opposite types of conservatives and this is the heart of the issue in scotland, that if nicola sturgeon could choose a tory prime minister, looking at boris johnson, nicola sturgeon would want a rich tory. ruth davidson would not wa nt a rich tory. ruth davidson would not

want that. this is what you see talk of the separation increasing. we will leave it there for now. thank you. we will be finding out how that story and many others are being covered in the papers at 10:30pm. our guests joining me tonight are the journalist and broadcaster lynn faulds wood and john rentoul, chief political commentator at the independent. the headlines on bbc news. riot police in hong kong clash with thousands of protesters who defied a ban and marched through the streets for an eighth weekend. firefighters are trying to rescue a man whose leg got trapped in rocks when the tide is coming in off the norfolk coast. michael gove, the minister who has to prepare the uk for a no—deal brexit, says it's a "very real prospect". getting ready for it is

now the government's number one priority. time for the sport and now a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre. wet and chaotic — the german grand prix was certainly action—packed. red bull's max verstappen took his second win of the year, while ferrari's sebastien vettel drove his way to second from the back of the grid. but it was a day to forget for the reigning world champion, lewis hamilton. patrick geary reports. one of those days for lewis hamilton. filthy weather, feeling sick, then you have to go to work, and it's a safety car start. hamilton's firstjob was to somehow stay in front, when all behind was the wacky races. rain scrambles formula i's precise engineering and strategy. this was just as charles leclerc was about to take the lead... radio: no!

a minute later hamilton echoed this, going into a spin and damaging his first wing. he arrived at the pits without an appointment. they would have it ready as soon as they could. then max verstappen, third in the standings, went first in the race. these weren't chasing conditions. hamilton's shocking time got worse still. his team—mate valtteri bottas didn't even finish. all the while steadily gaining in the rain was sebastien vettel, the german driver going from 20th to second, behind verstappen. dutch conqueror of the chaos, and the winner of a race that was never clockwork, but definitely orange. patrick gearey, bbc news. adam peaty claimed his third gold of the world aquatics championships as great britain won the men's 4x100 metre medley relay. it's peaty‘s third medal overall in south korea, but duncan scott took the plaudits for his amazing final leg. they were in a team with james guy and luke greenbank and the four set a new european record.

the usa top the medal table. great britain finished in seventh place with three golds, including two individual ones from peaty and seven medals overall. gareth bale's proposed move to china is off. he had been expected to finalise an extremely lucrative move tojiangsu suning in the chinese super league worth £1 million a week. but our sports correspondent david ornstein has confirmed that bale is staying at real madrid. the deal was called off by the spanish giants. liverpool have won the race to sign the fulham youngster harvey elliott. the teenage winger became the youngest player to feature in the premier league last season, atjust 16 years and 30 days. elliot had attracted interest from real madrid but chose to join jurgen klopp's champions league winners. the england youth international cannot turn professional, though, until his 17th birthday next april.

meanwhile, liverpool have been beaten 3—0 by napoli in a pre—season game at murrayfield. napoli took the lead after a brilliant solo run and finish from italian international lorenzo insigne. arkadius milik then made it 2—0 before half—time, with napoli adding another in the second half. it's liverpool's third defeat in their last four pre—season games. arsenal's preparations for the new season also took a blow this afternoon as they were beaten 2—1 by french side lyon at the emirates. the gunners had taken the lead in the first half, with pierre emerick—aubamayang vollying in just before the break. but lyon hit back in the second—half with two goals in ten minutes from the former celtic striker moussa dembele. dundee have made it through to the last 16 of the scottish league cup after a 1—0 win over inverness caledonian thistle at dens park. a draw would have sent both sides through as group d winners and one of the best runners—up, but this debut goal in the first half from dannyjohnson meant that only dundee went through. queen's park beat clyde in sunday's other game, but neither side had enough points

to reach the next round. england's women are still looking for their first win of their ashes series against australia. they lost the second of the three t20 matches this afternoon. england could only muster 121—8 after winning the toss and batting. the aussies reached their target with 7 wickets and 13 balls to spare. australia lead the multi—format series by 12—2 with just one t20 match remaining. that's all the sport for now. democrats in the united states have renewed accusations of racism against president trump, after he criticised an african—american congressman. the president accused elijah cummings, who's the head of a powerful committee, of trying to hurt innocent people while doing nothing for his baltimore district, which mr trump branded a "rodent—infested mess". mr cummings recently criticised the trump

administration over conditions in migrant detention centres. speaking a little earlier, our washington correspondent chris buckler said president trump rarely lets criticism of him go unanswered. president trump had clearly been fuming by some of the recent comments from elijah cummings. at a congressional hearing, he attacked the secretary for homeland security at one stage about the facilities at the us border. asking kevin at one stage, that would he be prepared to have his child sit in faeces, and not be able to take a shower? and president trump has hit back with a stream of tweets, in which he has attacked mr cummings personally, describing him as a brutal bully, and also really sent a stream of insults against the part of baltimore he represents. describing it variously as filthy, disgusting, and rodent infested. now this is a black congressman, in an area with a majority black population. and that has led democrats to claim that this is racist,

particularly following recent comments that mr trump also made on twitter, about four democratic congresswoman. you might remember that he told them that they should go back to the crime—ridden countries that they came from. and as a result, we now have this really difficult situation, where the white house is trying to defend donald trump's comments, but at the same time, there is widespread criticism, not least from one of the newspapers in baltimore. that said as far as it was concerned, it was better to have rats then be one. and you do get the sense that race, which is always such a an emotive issue in america, shaun, is becoming a very sensitive, and a very important one in the campaign, ahead of next year's presidential election. certainty president trump today has been trying to defend his comments, and i think it was noticeable that he sent a tweet out about nancy pelosi, about the state of san francisco, the city that she now represents. you get the sense that

he's trying to show that he is spreading this criticism beyond just black and ethnic minority democrats, but at the same time, people will point out that president trump didn't do a lot, despite his claims, to stop a chant of "send them home" about some of those democratic congresswoman during a recent rally. there is a sense that race is something that does connect with some of his core voters. and while he wouldn't say that he was trying to be racist, and would deny any allegations of that, he doesn't seem to shy away from sometimes attacking issues that do have race as a quantity as part of them. just to update you, president trump has been tweeting saying that there is nothing racist in stating plainly what most people already know. and in the last five minutes he has said...

so we have president trump throwing the claim of racism back at the senator. the iranian president, hassan rouhani, says boris johnson's familiarity with the islamic republic will help improve relations between iran and britain. earlier this month, british royal marines seized an iranian tanker near gibraltar which was suspected of breaking eu sanctions. later in the month a british—flagged oil tanker was seized by iranian forces in the strait of hormuz. police in northern ireland have released images of an explosive device found next to a bus stop in craigavon in county armagh. officers were called after a loud bang was heard around midnight on friday and believe the booby trap was designed to kill police officers. police have blamed dissident republicans for what they described as a "cowardly and evil

act of terrorism". police in cyprus have arrested a british teenager who had accused 12 israeli men of raping her in the popular resort of ayia napa. the arrest came as all the men she had accused of assault were released from custody. the 19—year—old claimed that the attack happened last week, at the hotel where she was staying. she'll appear in court tomorrow. roads and rail lines have been closed in north—west england because of flooding, after half a month's worth of rain fell in 2a hours. cars have been left stranded on roads in stockport and sections of the m60 motorway in greater manchester were temporarily shut following heavy rain. the met office has issued a yellow weather warning for rain across parts of the midlands, the north west of england, northern ireland and south—west scotland until midnight tonight. he's 15, he's from essex, and he'sjust won nearly £1 million playing a computer game.

jaden ashman and his dutch team—mate came second in new york, in the world cup duos final of fortnite, the biggest esports competition ever held. it's a remarkable achievement, as around a0 million people attempted to reach the finals, over weeks of online competition. eventually 100 made it, with 11 from the uk, all vying for a prize pool of $30 million — that's just over £24 million. the winner of the individual title tonight will take home $3 million. joe tidy reports from new york. your fortnite world champions! from underdogs to millionaires. these relatively unknown 16 and 17—year—olds from norway and austria are the first ever fortnite jewel champions. fortnite duos champions. they share $3 million, or £2.11 million.

but success, too, for the 15—year—old british playerjaden ashman, known online as wolfies. he and his dutch team—mate dave young share $2.25 million for coming second. i'm probably going to try to save most of it. like, i know it sounds a bit cliche, but maybe save half of it and put quite a lot into a house and my family. it's taken a while forjaden's mum to accept he's a professional gamer. to be honest with you, i've been quite against him gaming. i've been more pushing him into his school work. i've actually thrown out an xbox, snapped a headset. we've had a nightmare. three, two, one... this is how competitive this world cup is. 15—year—old british contender, known online as benjy fishy, and his team—mate, were devastated afterfinishing14th. i did get unlucky in two of the games, i got sniped from nowhere, and died, so nothing you can do about that. yeah. but benjy and 99 other players will have one more shot at glory later. the singles champion

takes home $3 million. so many of the finalists here have similar stories to jaden. only now is their career choice being accepted by their parents. it is hoped this will do a lot to legitimise the already booming esports industry. and with more millionaire teenagers to be made here, this is an event that will have a life—changing impacts for these superstars of esports. joe tidy, bbc news, new york. now it's time for a look at the weather with louise lear. good evening. sunday has been a day of contrasts, so while some sunshine was to be found, and the best of that in terms of sunshine and warmth was along the south coast, temperatures peaking into the mid—20s, a beautiful weather watcher pictures sent in a long that dorset coastline, but for parts of the midlands, and northwest england, it's been a disappointing weekend. cloudy, with some persistent, and at times, heavy rain, a couple of inches of rain falling, now this weather front really quite now, this weather front really quite slow—moving, as you can see, and this is where the recent rain is sitting through the midlands,

northwest england, into northern ireland, with the scattering of showers ahead of it, into western scotland. now that's going to continue through the night, but it will gradually drift its way northwards, at the same time, we could see a few sharp and thundery downpours across the far northeast of scotland. but to the south of that weather front, it stays relatively quiet, a more comfortable night for getting a good night to sleep, with overnight lows of 12—16 degrees. so we start off the new working week, still with that weather front there, but it's drifting its way into scotland, and it will weaken all the time to a band of showers, as we go through the day. a ridge of high pressure builds across england and wales, that's where the best of the weather is likely to be at the start of the new working week, but there is an area of low pressure starting to push in the isles of scilly and into cornwall by the end of the day. in terms of the feel of things, if you keep the sunshine, we'll see some pleasant warmth, 24—26 degrees, but it will turn increasingly windy down to the southwest. something worth bearing in mind. this area of low pressure, quite a deep area of low for this time of year, will drift its way slowly eastwards
