of sulhamstead, in west berkshire. police shut this section of the a4 at midday. we have seen them examining the road with forensics officers, sniffer dogs and we have seen them load up a grey bmw which they are about to take away from the scene. lots of people are bringing flowers a nd scene. lots of people are bringing flowers and this has been an event that has shocked the community and it isa that has shocked the community and it is a fast, ongoing police investigation. married just a month ago, pc andrew harper was looking forward to his honeymoon. now though, his death is the subject of a murder investigation. dragged along the road by a vehicle. among those to visit the scene today, the deputy police commissioner for thames valley. i've heard from people coming forward from across the country, police officers who worked with andy but also victims of crime he has supported in the past. i think that's one of the most fitting memorials to him, is those people whose lives he touched have been coming forward to say how much they appreciated

what he has done for them. pc harper's death has been described as mindless and brutal by the prime minister. ten people are being questioned on suspicion of murder. officers have been searching a nearby caravan site as part of the investigation. there's been a steady stream of people throughout the morning bringing flowers. some who were colleagues of pc harper, visibly upset. others who didn't know him but wanted to express their own shock and sadness about what happened here. for police, it's a difficult task investigating the death of one of their own. the pain is shared among the emergency services. a lot of people say we have sort of a dangerousjob but most of our opinions of ourjob is it's nowhere near as dangerous or difficult as the police and the ambulance service. the police say they are still trying to establish the exact chain of events after a routine call—out to a burglary ended in tragedy.

although there has been a lot of police activity, we have yet to have an update. they say they don't want people to speculate about what is happening and how the enquiry is progressing. but the ten people who we re progressing. but the ten people who were arrested are still being questioned, they are aged between 13 and 30. the focus appears to be a nearby caravan park and there is forensics officers are examining ca rava ns forensics officers are examining caravans and a big police presence. but the police say they will be updating us with a media conference in around an hour, so we may get the latest developments on this case in around an hour. simonjones, thank you. pro—democracy demonstrators in hong kong have been taking part in a rally in an area popular with tourists from mainland china. the organisers have been using loudhailers to appeal for the event to remain peaceful after violent scenes during protests at the airport on monday and tuesday. anti—government protests have been

going on now for 11 weeks. our correspondent stephen mcdonell watched as police confronted protesters in the city. here we are, another saturday night in hong kong, another police station siege, or at least the stand—off. here we have the police in formation with their shields. they have been having various things thrown at them from across the road and they are backing up. they are not in their full kits, so it's not as serious as it sometimes gets but we'll move around here and i'll try and show you where the protesters are. they are on the other side of the road where traffic is still actually coming through. every now and then they are running up and throwing tins and things like that, nothing too heavy it seems at the moment, at the police. but across the other side here, are the protesters. you could possibly hear these warning signs and i'm seeing people

running frantically. ah, it looks like we do have the normal riot police now in place. they have come out to try and clear them away from here it seems. just moving quickly down to this main road here. where the riot police are moving very quickly. this is their new method. they come in fast, this is what they told us about in the briefing this week. they move quickly and try and seize protesters when they can. there is the line of riot police in front. they are holding up a sign telling people to clear away. we'rejust running to catch up with them. so this is in mongkok, for people who know hong kong, across on the kowloon side of the harbour. and the police are now moving through very

quickly and with intent. the idea is to move protesters on very rapidly. it's not — the days of the long stand—off have gone. the days when we saw protesters having pitched battles with police. we are not having that any more. you can see the police here giving instructions to people to clear out and i can tell you, the protesters, they are also moving very fast, they don't want to get arrested either. it's the speed of the running, you see. riot police, they are not walking any more, they are running in. they are running because they want to try and make arrests. they don't just want to control the situation, they are thinking long term now. if they are going to arrest enough of these protesters,

they hope to take the wind out of, the more radicalised element of this pro—democracy movement. just to bring you some breaking news that has come to us, this is following the stabbing and death of a 52—year—old man peter duncan, who was a lawyer. police have confirmed that a 17—year—old has been charged with the murder of peter duncan, who was 52. he had been stabbed in the chest with a screwdriver whilst near a shopping centre in newcastle on wednesday. he is set to appear in court on monday. peter duncan, on the screen now, who died following that stabbing. confirmation from northumbria police. the senior conservative mp, sir oliver letwin, has said he could not support a plan to prevent a no deal brexit that would result in

jeremy corbyn appointed as a caretaker prime minister. it's another blow for the labour leader's plan to form a time—limited government of national unity. our political correspondent, tony bonsignore, explained what this could mean for the labour leader's hopes. you had the liberal democrats come out this week saying they didn't want to be part of it if it was jeremy corbyn being caretaker prime minister. yesterday we had dominic grieve, senior tory, ardent remainer saying he didn't want, he wouldn't vote against his government if it meantjeremy corbyn being in number ten and today, another senior tory, sir oliver letwin and these are exactly the sort of people that jeremy corbyn needs to attract if he's going to get his plan through the commons. he was speaking on the today programme, sir oliver letwin about what this prospect of him voting against his own government for labour's plan, a temporary, time—limited labour governments time—limited labour government

with jeremy corbyn as prime minister, here's what had to say. i'd much prefer it at the moment to try to get to something that will actually get us a substance of alternative we can agree on without going through all of that and finding out whether people are, in the end, willing to do that or not. you are prepared to rule it out at this stage? i would rule it out if it led to jeremy corbyn being in downing street. i'm not at all convinced there is any solution that involves such a mechanism as you are describing, that wouldn't have that result. so i think we are talking there are about very distant possibilities. i'd much prefer to focus on the question, how do we get there? so that was sir oliver letwin. of course the lib dems have been talking about alternative possible interim leaders, harriet harman, ken clarke being floated. but labour is standing firm, it saying no, if this plan is going to succeed and they want to avoid a no deal, as some mps, plenty of mps do, they say no, it has to bejeremy corbyn. here is the labour leader himself talking this morning. i suspect all those people that are now making lots of noises in the media will realise that the option that will be put to parliament,

of supporting a motion of no confidence against the government in order to prevent a no—deal brexit, is the most important vote they will ever do in parliament because they'll prevent this country being brought to a great problem by a no—deal exit and i suggest they should think about that and support the motion that i will put forward. tony, the clock is ticking, how much time do they have to sort it out? very little. it is just over two weeks until mps return to the commons. those few weeks are going to be absolutely crucial because if they are going to put through legislation or put this plan in place, it needs to happen soon because the real date on everybody‘s minds is october the 31st, which is 75 days away. if they're going to agree on something, no sign of it yet, but if oppenents are going to agree on something, they need to do it soon. the conservative mp

alberto costa says the prime minister must stand by his commitment to legislate to protect the rights of eu citizens living in the uk. he was one of 21 senior tory signatories to a letter sent to the borisjohnson last weekend warning against a no—deal brexit. he has since written a letter to brandon lewis, minister of state for the home office, in which he describes the eu settled status scheme as "wholly inadequate". well we can speak to alberto costa now. wholly inadequate in what way?m the way borisjohnson spoke to guarantee the rights of eu nationals living in the united kingdom. i accept what the prime minister has said is really important now for the prime minister to honour his pledge. he said he would enshrine in law,

the rights of eu nationals. but let me tell you why that is so important, if we enshrine in law the rights of eu nationals, member states in the event of no deal will enshrine into their legal systems, the rights to protect british citizens that live and work in the eu and there is 1.3 million uk citizens, british citizens that live in the eu. so the only way we can protect their rights in the event of no deal, is by protecting in law, the rights of eu nationals in the uk. that has not been done yet. without a withdrawal agreement and without primary legislation, the settled status scheme is just a home office rule, it can be changed at a women that is the problem. what you are saying here, as i understand it, we need some legal bearing on what

has been promised and also we are up against it timewise? that is absolutely right, the vote leave campaigners, who now run the uk government, promised unequivocally, to absolutely guarantee the rights in law of eu nationals. they said leaving the european union would not in any way change the rights of eu nationals. of course, untilwe in any way change the rights of eu nationals. of course, until we pass laws guaranteeing those rights, there is no guaranteeing that when we come out of the eu, which i want to do, i want to honour the result of the referendum, my constituents in south leicestershire voted to leave the european union, we must leave the european union, we must leave the european union. so all i'm asking is the vote leave campaign who run governments and boris johnson, who is now prime minister, honour their pledge. their pledge was to protect the rights of eu nationals. how quickly cut that

process ta ke ? nationals. how quickly cut that process take? we are on a huge countdown now, 75 days, october the sist, countdown now, 75 days, october the 31st, how long would a process like that take? there is one of two ways, either borisjohnson as prime minister brings back the withdrawal agreement and i think he is going to do that. if he brings back the withdrawal agreement with a bit of a twea k to withdrawal agreement with a bit of a tweak to the backstop, i think he will get the house of commons to vote for it, not least because there might be 30 or a0 labour mps who will vote for it. that withdrawal agreement contains all the necessary rights in law to protect british citizens living in the eu and eu nationals living in the uk. if he doesn't do that, he can pass an uncontentious immigration bill, pretty quickly. through the house of commons, before we leave the european union. the reason i say

this, is that in february, the house of commons united, unanimously around my amendment to protect the rights of citizens. so this is something that boris can now do pretty quickly if he wants to do, it's over to him and the vote leave campaign, to honour the pledges that they made to me and to all the british electorate when they said that leaving the european union would be a simple matter. i voted to leave three times in the house of commons, it's now time for them, in government, to honour their pledges. iam i am interested to know, will you be supporting the plan ofjeremy corbyn? your colleague oliver letwin has said absolutely not, he does not wa nt has said absolutely not, he does not wantjeremy has said absolutely not, he does not want jeremy corbyn at has said absolutely not, he does not wantjeremy corbyn at number 10, but we do go as far as voting against

the prime minister in order to get these rights for the people you are fighting for? let me be clear and unambiguous, i was selected by the people of south leicestershire as a conservative mp and i will be standing as a conservative mp and supporting the conservative government. this is about citizens. 1.3 million british citizens in the eu and 3.6 million eu nationals in the uk, that is 5 million innocent people. we must protect their rights first. that is what the vote leave campaign site, they promised they would do that before we leave the —— before we left the european union. the ball is in are caught, they have got to honour that pledge and they have got to do it before we leave the european union. as for what i will do, i will always continue to pull the interests of british citizens first and that is why i am supporting british citizens in the eu as well as eu nationals in the uk

andi eu as well as eu nationals in the uk and i will continue to champion this. i have been doing this for three years, there is nothing new in what i am saying, for three years i have been saying repeatedly we have got to protect the rights of those 5 million people. only by doing so can we leave the european union in a smooth and orderly manner. thank you very much for your time. the headlines on bbc news: ten men, aged between 13 and 30, are being questioned on suspicion of murdering pc andrew harper in berkshire. pro—democracy protesters take to the streets of hong kong once more. they've been supported by thousands of teachers. a 17—year—old has been charged with the murder of peter duncan, who was stabbed with a screwdriver in newcastle on wednesday. in the premier league, it is back—to—back victories at the start

of the season for the first time in ten yea rs of the season for the first time in ten years for arsenal as they beat burnley 2—1 in the early kick—off. pierre—emerick aubameyang scored the winner. the second ashes test has been eventful with steve smith leaving the field after being hit on the head but returning to continue batting. smith was out for 92, australia all out for 250, england made by eight runs. and wales have beaten england in the last few minutes 13—6. wales will be top of the world rankings on monday. scotla nd the world rankings on monday. scotland play france later. i will have details on those stories and more at around half past five this evening. crowds have gathered in the sudanese capital to celebrate the signing of a power sharing deal between the ruling military and the civilian opposition alliance. sudan's dominant military figure, general dagalo, better known as hemetti, told the bbc that the council would

abide by every letter of the deal. the agreement is intended to bring to an end months of pro—democracy protests during which the long—serving president omar al—bashir was toppled. my colleague zeinab badawi is in khartoum. hello. there is no doubt this is an historic day as i am overlooking the banks of the river nile. people have been hanging out of their cars tooting their horns because there is a mood of celebration about this landmark power—sharing agreement. it is important because it expands the traditional military council that has been governing the country since the fall of the president in april and it sets out a route through which sedan can eventually return to civilian rule, but there is lots of concern among civilians that the military may not relinquish power so easily after enjoying it for so many decades. i have been speaking to the

man who signed that document, the agreement, on behalf of the military. the general is sometimes described as the most powerful man in the sedan. i asked him if the military could guarantee that they would implement this deal and phil, not just today but also in would implement this deal and phil, notjust today but also in the coming months. this is what he said. translation: in accordance with the agreement, we will stick to every single letter we have agreed on, secondly, even without the agreement, we have to work in this direction because it is in the interests of the country, not in our own interest, therefore we have to carry out the agreement, stick to it and supported. there can be no doubt that there is a palpable sense of hope, optimism, not confidence, however, that this is a new page that sedan is turning a new leaf, and that it may be able to finally put decades of military rule behind

it. civilians are still very concerned that there should be vigilance, there should be safeguards to ensure there is no slipping and sliding by the military in the months to come because for the first 21 months of the coming period set out any constitutional agreement, the military is still in the driving seat. i should point out this is something the civilians did say they wanted a long transitional period, because they have been excluded from the democratic scene for quite a while and they were not just able to take over on day one after the removal of the president. the other point i wanted make is that the focus is on democratic rule by civilians, but also, we need peace in sudan and there are conflict ridden areas in the country and the people who live in these regions are saying, do not forget that peace and democracy go hand in glove, and we want to be involved in crafting this new sedan. —— this new

sudan. —— this new sudan. the spanish sea rescue charity open arms says 27 children are to be allowed off a migrant ship anchored off italy. 13a migrants picked up in the mediterranean off libya have spent 16 days waiting for permission to come ashore. the italian interior minister blocked disembarcation in italy and said the vessel could easily have got to spain in the time the stand off has been going on. the hollywood star peter fonda has died at his home in los angeles. he was 79 and had been suffering from lung cancer. the actor was best known for the 1969 film easy rider, which he co—wrote and produced. our correspondent peter bowes takes a look back at his career. easy rider, the counterculture classic. the open road, sex, drugs and rock and roll. the film was written,

produced by and starred peter fonda, along with dennis hopper, playing a pair of long—haired bikers travelling through the american south—west and deep south. it touched a nerve with the country's youth and captured the mood of the times. it also spawned a new era in film—making, focused on younger generations. it earned peter fonda an oscar nomination for best original screenplay, and catapulted him to stardom in hollywood. later in his career he was nominated for best actor in the 1997 drama ulee's gold, in which he played a florida beekeeper. he won a golden globe for the film. peter fonda was part of hollywood royalty, the son of the actor henry fonda and younger brother ofjane fonda. like his father, he was honoured with a star on hollywood's walk of fame. a lasting tribute to the actor, and as news emerged of his death, a place for his fans

to remember their hero. in a statement, peter fonda's family said they were mourning the loss of a sweet and gracious man who had an indomitable spirit and love of life. jane fonda said he was her sweet—hearted baby brother and went out laughing. a5a pedestrians died on britain's roads last year. the number killed has remained broadly stable for the last decade with no big strides in cutting deaths. road safety campaigners say more needs to be done. simon browning reports. stop, look, listen! well done. it is a phrase we all had drilled into us at school, and it is still crucial. a pedestrian is killed every single day in britain. this school in sutton coldfield has a busy main road running straight past the school gates. it is a bit dangerous. not really safe. it is busy. there are lots of cars. and do you think walking to school helps with road safety? and those fears are not unfounded

as the head teacher has had to deal with some nasty accidents on this road. we have also had a child with a broken collarbone, a couple of years ago, when he was knocked down outside school. in 2017, 65 pedestrians per day were injured in road traffic accidents. and a quarter of those were children. and the biggest problem we now face is being distracted by these, both at the wheel and on the pavement. the head at walmley infants' is so concerned about her pupils' safety on this road, she has tried to make the school a mobile free zone. there are a number of parents who are on their phones looking at them, not paying attention to their child and as they are walking out of the gates, they are straight onto a busy road, looking at their phones. obviously the impact could be devastating. surely a school can only do so much? we can and we do a lot at ground level but when we hand the children over, back to their parents at the end of the day, they are their responsibility. we are glued to our phones, notjust on the pavement

but when we step off it and into a busy road. just watch this near—miss. pedestrian accidents happen every single day, often unreported. critics say we turn a blind eye as we live in a society with an ever—increasing number of cars. but for the survivors, the impact of an accident will last a lifetime. an entirely disconnected car mounted the pavement. and what was left was absolute carnage. jack martindale was simply walking along the pavement with friends. a single vehicle managed to collide with all five of us. you would not believe it, but it did, and injury us all. two young ladies died and i was the worst affected survivor. i spent over three months in a coma. people are careless and the car, if used wrongly, the car is a weapon, do you know what i mean? it killed two people. road safety campaigners feel pedestrians are not a priority. we kind of accept the fact so many people are dying and being seriously

injured as part and parcel of having roads. what is disappointing with the department for transport is they have not got a kind of set of numbers that they would be happy with, targets they are aiming for in terms of reduction. the government has recently announced new road safety plans, including teaching children about smartphone danger. and some local authorities are working towards zero road deaths. but with a50 fatalities a year, that still seems a long way off. now it's time for a look at the weather with phil avery. hello. it's been a much—improved day for many parts of the british isles and even in scotland. while there has been some sunshine to be had, but having said that across in the north—west quarter of scotland, you're much closer to an area of low pressure and that's what's helped to gang up the showers. notice the number of isobars, it's been a blustery old day right across the piste. we are not quite done with yesterday's weather front either, because through the rest of the day we are going to drag the weather front

back into the southern counties of england. there will be some rain for a time, particularly into the wee small hours and all the while, the northern portion of the weather frontjust drags that prospect of showers across scotland, northern ireland, the far north of england. but further south than that, in the countryside the temperatures might start sunday down in single figures. so here we are for sunday, it'll take time but eventually that rain will clear away from the south—eastern quarter and then it's a pretty decent day here with a few showers. i think the heaviest of the showers across the northern half of the british isles, again quite a blustery day here but with a wee bit of sunshine, 22 could be yours.
