this is bbc news. welcome if you're watching here in the uk, or around the globe. our top stories: after a weekend of protests in hong kong, the beijing government calls a rare news conference to respond to the crisis. riot police have been moving people through the streets. they're now making arrests. they've fired more tear gas. reinforcements are coming in. in the us, the director of national intelligence resigns after repeated disagreements with president trump. wejoin the police in the south african city of cape town where, on average,eight people are murdered every day. and millions of dollars at his fingertips. we speak to the 16—year—old who won the first ever fortnite world championships,

and a lot of pocket money. tense stand—offs between riot police and pro—democracy protesters in central hong kong have ended after another day of clashes. protestors defied police orders to stay at home and commercial areas usually filled with shoppers were instead turned into war zones, thick with tear gas. and for the first time, chinese state officials have scheduled a news conference in beijing later on monday to make a statement on the situation. the bbc‘s nick beake reports from hong kong. there's a predictability to sundays in hong kong this summer. they start peacefully, and end very differently. once again, tens of thousands turned out, this time to condemn alleged police brutality

during previous demonstrations. the police had tried to ban today's event and had warned that anyone who marched through the streets could be arrested but, as you can see, it hasn't made any difference, and you do get the feeling now that many people in the city simply have no respect for the authorities orfor the police. they were heading for the main chinese government building in the territory, and heading for a showdown. because this fire is being fuelled by a fear of what life would 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 you know something you cannot achieve, but you will still do it for justice, right? when the masses slipped away, the hard core dug in, those who don'tjust throw insults. and, when they refused to leave, you knew what was coming. police and protesters now in a fight for the future of the place they both call home. battling under a heavy cloud that's descended on the city and shows no sign of lifting. as for tonight, the police had seen enough. this has been simmering all day, and now it's 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 close. with both sides battle—hardened, preparing for their next encounter. as we've mentioned, chinese state officials will address developments in hong kong in a few hours' time. with the protest movement now in its eighth week, nick beake told us the crisis shows no signs of coming to an end. what we saw today was certainly dramatic, but no longer extraordinary. it does seem that this is the new norm in hong kong, and the concern is that this violence is getting worse. the protesters, the hardcore in particular, appear to be emboldened and the police force, who, for the past month or so, have been using softer tactics, now appear to be willing to go in sooner with greater force. it doesn't bode well. tonight the authorities in hong kong predictably have condemned this latest violence, but crucially we've not yet had a reaction from beijing. what will their response be?

how do they intend to try to extinguish this fire, which is now burning on their doorstep? we know there are chinese troops garrisoned in the city. the consensus is we've not yet reached the point where we may see tanks rolling out onto the streets, but no—one knows where we go from here. we're now witnessing an almighty struggle for the heart and soul of this city. we'll of course bring you the details of that beijing news conference when it happens, and for more on what's happening in hong kong go to our website where you'll find this in—depth piece explaining the background to the protests. that's at bbc.com/news. or download the bbc news app. libyan authorities have buried 46 of the migrants who died at sea following one of the deadliest shipwrecks in the mediterranean this year.

so far 62 bodies have been recovered in waters off the coast of libya, after an overloaded boat went down near the city of khoms. pope francis has made an appeal to the international community to ensure the safety of migrants. ramzan karmali has this report which contains images you may find distressing. the un aid agency has called it the worst mediterranean tragedy of this year. this is the massive funeral for 46 migrants who drowned trying to desperately get to europe. rescue workers recovered 62 bodies in total. the remaining funerals will take place later. the vessel these victims were on was said to be overloaded, with some 400 on board. among those burying the dead are seven sui’vivoi’s. translation: we were saved and here we are today you bury 46 of our brothers, children and women. we survived. we are eritreans.

thousands of migrants attempt to cross the mediterranean to europe every year, and libya is a key departure point. those who make the journey often travel in poorly maintained and overcrowded ships, and many have died. but the numbers attempting the crossing is falling. that fall is down largely because italy has engaged libyan forces to stop migrants setting off or return them to libya if found at sea. this italian coastguard vessel, carrying some 130 migrants rescued in the mediterranean, has finally been allowed to dock in sicily after around three days at sea, but its passengers aren't being allowed to disembark. rome is after assurances from the eu on those on boards final destinations. meanwhile, the pope has once again called on politicians to do more for the migrants. translation: i renew a heartfelt appeal for the international community to act promptly and decisively to avoid the repetition of similar tragedies and to guarantee the safety

and dignity of all. italy's policy of making sure migrants stay in libya has come under fire from human right groups, not least as the country's currently engaged in a deadly civil war. migrants who make the crossing risk drowning in the mediterranean. those who don't could find themselves victims of war, something many were trying to escape from in the first place. ramzan karmali, bbc news. there has been a shooting at a food festival in northern california. we can show you live pictures from the scene. we have seen can show you live pictures from the scene. we have seen ambulances and emergency services and police officers there on the scene.

eye—to—eye on a number of issues over the past few months, north korea and russia in particular, and also the president has publicly contradicted some of the advice that he's clearly received from his intelligence chiefs. then there was an incident about a year ago, mr coats was speaking in the state of colorado at a q&a session, this was on live television, and he was given the news, just breaking at the time, that the white house was inviting president putin to a meeting at the white house at some point undetermined in the future to have discussions with the president, and it was mr coats' response to that, it clearly took him by surprise, and he said, "ok, that's going to be special." he said he looked rather bemused. he did later apologise and said he didn't mean any disrespect, but i think the seeds were sown at that stage for what was clearly going to be a deteriorating relationship with the president. so not an uneventful time in thejob. the man donald trump has nominated to replace him, tell us a bit more about him. yes, john ratcliffe is a republican congressman. he's a former us attorney, who's from texas. he's not a household name in the united states,

so not an uneventful time in thejob. the man donald trump has nominated to replace him, tell us a bit more about him. yes, john ratcliffe is a republican congressman. he's a former us attorney, who's from texas. he's not a household name in the united states, although he did make headlines last week, because he was one of those questioning robert mueller, who led the investigation into russian meddling in the us election and the president's role and president donald trump's campaign in 2016 and possible collusion with russia, and it was his aggressive line of questioning of mr mueller that made headlines, asking whether he didn't exonerate the president and talking about the bedrock of the us justice system being the presumption of innocence, which he said applies to a sitting president as well anyone else. it was quite an aggressive to—and—fro that certainly made headlines, and some reports here suggest mr trump was watching and he liked what he saw.

between washington and havana in 2014. but he also had his critics for not doing more to speak out about human rights abuses or support dissidents. from havana, will grant reports. a man of the cloth on a largely atheist islands, cardinal jaime ortega was probably the most influential voice in cuba outside the communist party. his funeral was a sign of how he lived his ecclesiastical life, with senior government figures in attendance. it wasn't an easy job. government figures in attendance. it wasn't an easyjob. it required all his negotiating skills as archbishop of havana to bring the catholic church closer to the state, particularly when fidel castro was at the helm. in his lifetime, he saw the relationship with the church evolved profoundly. persecuted himself by the castro government and sent to a labour camp in the 1960s, jaime ortega later hosted three popes on the island with a visit of

john paul ii in 1994 the first and politically most sensitive. his critics said he failed to give more vocal support to the island's dissident groups, such as the ladies in white or denounce human rights abuses in cuba. yet cardinal ortega was key to the re—establishment diplomatic ties with the us in 2014, hand delivering letters between pope francis, president obama and rail castro. obama visited cuba two years later, and for that alone, jaime ortega will be fondly remembered in cuba by both catholics and non— believers. translation: i am an atheist, i am believers. translation: i am an atheist, iam not believers. translation: i am an atheist, i am not practising catholic by i admire people who have faith, who carry out theirjobs properly, and that it was through the cardinal was. translation: he was a wonderful man, a man full of life. may god hold him in heaven. i hope we have another like cardinal ortega. since his death was announced, there has been a gradual stream of people making

their way to the cathedral in havana to pay their respects to a man who tried much of his life to end cuba's isolation. their relationship with us has deteriorated under the trump administration, but what cardinal jaime ortega did to visualise and normalise catholicism in cuba may end up being a more lasting legacy. in his role as go—between for the vatican, washington and havana, cardinal ortega helped make the brief diplomatic store possible. people here thank him for that and hope the message of reconciliation is what is taken from this most cuban is what is taken from this most cu ban of is what is taken from this most cuban of priests. will grant, bbc news, havana. the south african city of cape town, a well—known tourist destination, is also one of the world's most divided and dangerous cities. it's averaged eight murders every day in the first six months of this year, and earlier this month, 43 people were killed in one weekend. the bbc‘s voldi carolso

and christian parkinson spent a weekend with the police and spoke with the families of those who were killed. first on the scene — the metropolitan police's law enforcement officers are out on patrol in a dangerous part of cape town. jerrickjunnies grew up on these streets. it's a never—ending story, man. "you killed my dad, i will kill you." "you killed my brother, i will kill you." i call it the coloured curse, because everyone is willing to pick up a knife or a gun to avenge someone else's death. take out your wallet and your phone, please. often, the guns are turned against police. six members of the anti—gang unit were shot and injured last month. over the weekend we were filming, three more were shot. one of them died. ok, you guys go left, we're going to go right. we got a glimpse of the danger

they face every day. open the door! yeah, that's why you run. yelling is that sort of weapon something you'd normally find? no, normally you find handguns, but that's a big weapon. i'm also quite chuffed. this is my thinking — if i get one gun off the street, i'm saving hundreds of lives. so...one gun, that's how many calls, how many hijackings, how many murders. but policing can't fix the social and economic inequality in these areas. this is blikkiesdorp, home to over 20,000 people. sprawling townships like these are a legacy of apartheid. a month ago, five men were shot execution style in this shack.

15—year—old mogamut ouiyaam petersen was one of the victims. his little sister and brother watched as he died. the violence has gotten more and more there and the children are not safe in that place. truly, they are not even safe in the park and that's supposed to be... cries if you're not even safe in your own house, how can it be safe outside? to make these streets a little safer, the army's been called in. the army is meant to reinforce the police who are thin on the ground. with more than 1,000 soldiers on the streets of some of the troubled hot spots, theirs is a temporary deployment, a stopgap measure to help halt the killings. quiyaam's mother shieyaam hopes she won't have to bury another son.

after the murder, the family had to leave blikkiesdorp, and now, they're hoping for a fresh start. i know violence is everywhere, but because i already lost one son, i don't want to lose another. a 16—year—old gamerfrom the us known as ‘bugha' has won $3 million after being crowned the fortnite world champion in new york. his real name is kyle giersdorf, and he's been speaking to our reporterjoe tidy. i feel pretty amazing, honestly, but at the same time, like, not too much emotion, just because it hasn't really kicked in yet. and during the game, you looked in control. you dominated from the start. first game i saw you, and by the end of it, you were smiling and you were taking people out left, right and centre.

did you expect to do as well as you did? of course, i expected to do very well because i put in a lot of time to the game and i really did just expect a good performance. top 20 at least. how much time did you put into this? on school days, i usually put in, like, six hours and summer days, probably double or a little bit more. wow, and that's always on fortnite? that's always grinding, as you say. always. how did you manage to work it around your schoolwork? have your grades suffered? my grades really haven't suffered. they stay a, b, c, pretty much around that range. but, yeah, that's about it. fortnite world champion bugha speaking to our reporterjoe tidy. now to india, and a small village in the north—eastern state of meghalaya, which has a unique way of communicating. popularly known as the whistling village of india, it has a tune or song dedicated to each person there.

the story there of the whistling village of india. let's recap our breaking news this hour. there's been a shooting at a food festival in northern california. this is the scene live. we are seeing a lot of police cars with their flashing seeing a lot of police cars with theirflashing lights seeing a lot of police cars with their flashing lights and a seeing a lot of police cars with theirflashing lights and a lot seeing a lot of police cars with their flashing lights and a lot of armed officers as well. there is no

official word on the number of casualties, but there are reports of several people injured. police have said the scene is active. so that is a shooting there at a food festival in northern california. stay with us here on bbc news. good morning. some of us had some sunshine this weekend, but others, a weekend of relentless rain. in fact, it brought some localised flooding. in greater manchester, rochdale, we had over 90mm throughout the weekend. the rain was fairly relentless. a conveyor belt of wet weather that moved its way up through the south—east. you can see that quite clearly. there were some heavier bursts as well at times, although it is starting to weaken as we speak. so, the story remains the same. this front is going to be with us throughout the day today. there it is on the satellite picture. we see some shower cloud up into the far north and east of scotland, that could bring some heavy, thundery downpours as well over the next few hours. so, plenty to talk about with monday's weather

starting off pretty murky across scotland. low cloud, mist, still some showers lingering, and our weather front sitting there through northern ireland through southern scotland. a weak affair and moving its way steadily north to a band of showers. behind it, where we had the heavy rain through the day, a better day through north—west england and parts of the midlands, highest values of 26 degrees. but down on the south—west, an area of low pressure, which will bring through the isles of scilly and cornwall some rain by the end of monday. this low pressure is going to continue to bring some wet and windy weather across the country through tuesday. heavy, sharp, thundery downpours not out of the question and gusts of winds, particularly down into the south—west on exposed coasts, of 45, possibly 50mph. sheltered eastern areas will see the best of any drier, brighter weather, so parts of aberdeenshire, running down across that east coast. that's where we will see the highest values of around 21 to 24 degrees. as we move out of tuesday, we're still going to see that low pressure, a significant player

in the weather story, it continues to drift its way steadily east, it will take its showers with it as well. so, on wednesday, it looks likely that the emphasis of the showers will be across southern scotland, through the north of england and eastern england as well. so, it's a drier story further south and west, not too bad a day into northern ireland and maybe the far north—east of scotland again, escaping with some decent weather. highest values of 18 to 22 degrees, that's just below where we should be, really, for the time of year. but as we move out of wednesday, high pressure will start to build, so thursday and friday quietens down and just warms up a little. so by the end of the working week, a drier theme, but we certainly have changed the feel to our weather. fresher with some sunshine and showers and, at times, some gusty winds.

this is bbc news. the headlines: two days of clashes between pro—democracy activists and hong kong police have ended. the crisis in the territory, which began over a draft extradition law, has now entered an eighth week. china's top policy unit for hong kong is to hold a rare news conference later in beijing. the us director of national intelligence, dan coats, has announced his resignation. president trump says he'll nominate a strong supporter, the texas congressman john ratcliffe, to replace him. mr coats has has often been at odds with mr trump over policy during the two years he's been in post. the personal doctor of the russian opposition leader alexei navalny says she believes he's been exposed to an unknown chemical, possibly administered by a third party. mr navalny was taken to hospital from jail on sunday, after officials said he'd suffered an allergic reaction. he was detained last week.
