first ball in the second innings of the lords ashes test. good evening. police in berkshire have been searching a caravan site close to where a 28—year—old policeman was killed on thursday night. in the last hour thames valley police have confirmed that a postmortem examination revealed pc andrew harper, died from multiple injuries. officers said it was consistent with him being dragged along a road by a vehicle. detectives are continuing to question 10 people, aged between 13 and 30 years—old — arrested on suspicion of murder. daniela relphjoins

us from the scene. friends, colleagues, the local community. the tributes to police constable andrew harper have been constant. almost exactly a month ago to the day, pc harper was getting married. now, instead of heading off on honeymoon next week, his new wife has to face life without him. a postmortem was carried out on andrew's body yesterday and the cause of death has been recorded as multiple injuries. the cause of death is consistent with our current belief that andrew was caught between the vehicle and the surface of the road and then dragged for some distance. forensic teams have continued their search for evidence throughout the day. there have been extended road closures, widening the search area. much of the focus has remained on the four houses corner caravan site, around three miles from where pc harper was killed. forensic teams working along officers leading the murder inquiry. all having to face the difficultjob of investigating the death

of one of their own. the death of pc harper has highlighted the dangers facing police officers in their everyday work. it's a pressure recognised by other emergency services, some of whom were here today to pay their respects. a lot of people say we have a dangerousjob but most of our opinions is that ourjob is nowhere near as dangerous or as difficult as the police and the ambulance service. trying to establish a detailed chain of events remains a police priority. as the thames valley force deal with the professional challenge and the personal angst of solving the murder of a much—loved police officer. daniela relph, bbc news, sulhamstead in berkshire. a 17—year—old has been charged with the murder of a lawyer who was stabbed with a screwdriver in newcastle on wednesday evening. peter duncan, who was 52, died after being attacked outside a shopping mall in the city centre.

northumbria police say the teenager — who can't be named for legal reasons — will appear in court on monday. riot police have cleared roads in hong kong after a standoff with pro—democracy protesters, as the political crisis in the city enters its eleventh week. a rival pro—government rally also drew thousands, highlighting the deep divisions that have been widening ever since china took back control from britain two decades ago. from hong kong, here's our china correspondentjohn sudworth. and a warning, his report contains some flashing images. hong kong's summer rains have done nothing to dampen the fury. most of it directed at the police. now seen as agents of a hostile state. by people who say they are fighting for their city's freedom. just a short drive away,

china has stationed paramilitary police in the border city of shenzhen, designed, it seems, as a very visible and ominous warning. are you worried china will send troops to hong kong? no, because if they do, they have to pay for that. we don't want to have to pay for anything. on the other side of this deeply divided city, pro beijing groups were rallying, they reject the claim that china is eroding hong kong's special status. and they support the police, who by nightfall were once again facing off against the pro—democracy protesters. and sweeping them from the streets. well, what began as a provocation by a small group of hard—core protesters has turned into this. a massive show of force by dozens of riot police. clearing a busy shopping street. it is a clear illustration

of the intractable nature of hong kong's political crisis and of the breakdown of trust on all levels. bystanders, drawn in by the scenes, also hurled abuse at the police. a once confident, outward—looking city trapped in a cycle of recrimination and bitterness. john sudworth, bbc news, hong kong. 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 to months of pro—democracy protests during which the long—serving president, omar al—bashir was toppled. our correspondent in khartoum is sally nabil.

since the early hours of the morning people have gathered here in the streets of khartoum singing and dancing. by all means this is a historic day for sudan. just after the signing of the constitutional declaration we have seen women in tears, we've seen children waving the sudanese flag. you can see this type of festivity all over khartoum. the declaration paves the way for a civil government which is expected to be formed within a few days. the people here are pinning a lot of hope on this government. we expect it to put the country back on track. sudan suffers from poverty, high inflation and poor infrastructure. i've been talking to the people here and they tell me today is a day to be remembered. a dream coming true. a moment they have been

waiting forfor so long. some of them tell me they do not trust the country's military rulers to abide by the political agreement. but they do believe in themselves, more than ever before. the senior conservative mp, sir oliver letwin, has said he could not support a plan to prevent a no—deal brexit — that would result injeremy 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. i'm joined now by our poltical correspondent, nick eardley. the arithmetic is not looking good. at the moment the compromise is not there and we have a mexican stand—off between jeremy there and we have a mexican stand—off betweenjeremy corbyn and others continuing. jeremy corbyn sang again today the only way a

national unity government or interim emergency government could happen is if he is prime minister and at the moment he is not backing down. 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 an no deal brexit, is the most important vote they will ever do in parliament, because it will prevent this country being brought to a great problem by an no deal exit. they suggest they should think about that and support the motion that i will put forward. jeremy corbyn saying to liberal democrats and rebel tories you must back me if you are really against it but the message just is not flying with rebel conservatives. we had from a number already saying we are prepared to talk and we want to work together but we will not do that if it means making jeremy corbyn prime minister. here is oliver letwin, who

has been a prominent supporter of trying to stop no deal. i much prefer at the moment to try and get to something that will actually get us substantially alternative that we can agree on without going through all that and finding out whether people are in the end willing to do that or not. but it's not something you are prepared to rule out at this stage? well, 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 would not have that result. so i think we are talking there about very distant possibilities. i much prefer to focus on the question, how do we get there? another grenade thrown into the mix thereby oliver letwin was a warning to those trying to stop no deal that it is allok to those trying to stop no deal that it is all ok saying we do not want it is all ok saying we do not want it to happen but that will only work if you have another viable plan. be that as second referendum, a new deal, it may be something we have not heard of yet. at the moment he paints a pretty bleak picture. with

only two weeks to return to the commons and october the 31st looming it seems as if were heading for that no deal. that is the fear that many who want to stop it have, oliver letwi n who want to stop it have, oliver letwin saying he thinks there is now a high likelihood that will be the outcome now and all the while while opposition parties are squabbling amongst themselves about the best way to try to avoid no deal the government isjust way to try to avoid no deal the government is just ploughing on with plans to leave on the 31st of october and getting the country ready for no deal and sent to europe we wa nt ready for no deal and sent to europe we want to talk but if you do not change the backstop in ireland then we will just leave. so change the backstop in ireland then we willjust leave. so oliver letwin is not the only one who thinks that no deal is the direction of travel. 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 boris johnson 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'. borisjohnson himself described the need to absolutely and unequivocally guarantee the rights of eu nationals living in the united kingdom. so i accept what the prime minister has said, it 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. 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. and that has not yet been done because without the withdrawal agreement and without primary legislation, the settled status scheme isjust a home office rule, it can be changed at whim and that is the problem. police in germany say two people have been killed after a stabbing at a railway station — in the city of iserlohn in north rhine—westphalia. a man is in custody and police say there is no risk to the wider public. us officials have issued a warrant to seize an iranian oil tanker and its cargo — a day after a judge in gibraltar granted the vessel's release. the ‘grace one' was stopped by royal marines last month — amid reports it was heading for syria, in breach of eu sanctions.

tehran denies the claims — but the us department ofjustice has accused the tanker‘s operators of conducting "deceptive voyages". the spanish sea rescue charity, ‘open arms‘, says 27 children are to be allowed off a migrant ship anchored off italy. 134 migrants picked up in the mediterranean off libya, have spent 16 days waiting for permission to come ashore. the italian interior minister blocked them disembarking 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 at the age of 79. 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. the headlines on bbc news... detectives investigating the death of a police officer have said he died of "multiple injuries", as they were given more time to question 10 suspects. a 17—year—old has been charged with the murder of lawyer peter duncan, who was stabbed with a screwdriver in newcastle on wednesday. pro—democracy protesters take to the streets of hong kong once more — they‘ve been supported by thousands of teachers.

a baton representing the lives of those saved by organ donation has been travelling the country to mark the beginning of the world transplant games. thousands of athletes, all of whom have received a transplant, are taking part. kathryn stanczyszyn has more. this is a sporting event with one creek criteria, you have had to have a life—saving operation for the infection destroyed peter‘s lungs and he spent most of his 20 is housebound and on oxygen. and he spent most of his 20 is housebound and on oxygenlj and he spent most of his 20 is housebound and on oxygen. i had to a lot and nine years later my lung capacity went down to 9% and doctors told me i needed a transparent and

sooi'i. told me i needed a transparent and soon. in 2017 he received two new lungs. i had a new lease of life. before i could not breathe and now i'm here playing volleyball. and i'm team gb, i'm still pinching myself. ido team gb, i'm still pinching myself. i do not know why they selected me but they have and it feels good. one in 2500 athletes take part in the world transplant games and like the olympics they move around the globe in the summer there are newcastle. it has been 2a years and since the uk has hosted the event and for 2019 there is something new, a special relay visiting key transplant centres for hundreds of lives are transformed every year. it represents the comfort people get from the giving and receiving, whether you are at the donor family 01’ whether you are at the donor family or the recipient. this celebrates all the donors who made the transformation is possible remembering one in particular. tom wilson died in an accident aged 22,

he‘s already signed the donor register. we were told tom helped save and improve the lives of up to 50 people. if you could say one thing to tom what would it be? how pride we are. there to see the battle in manchester, seven—year—old brandon. i want to theatre, i went to theatre and woke up with a scar on my belly. you have a new kidney? 27,000 people on the waiting list, less tha n 27,000 people on the waiting list, less than a third will get the operation they desperately need. the transplant games aims to raise awareness about the need for more donors and craig is hoping for success at his very first world event. the biggest success of all, though, in the first place. just being there. eight people have been killed in a hotel fire in the ukrainian city of odessa.

ten other people were injured in the blaze at the tokyo star — which broke out after midnight. police have opened a criminal investigation, looking into the possibility that fire safety regulations had been ignored. an orphaned sea mammal that became an internet sensation after being rescued in thailand, has died. the rare marine dugong was one of only a few hundred left in the region, and died from complications after swallowing plastic. kate harley reports. she was just she wasjust a she was just a baby when she was rescued, orphaned and stranded on a beachin rescued, orphaned and stranded on a beach in the south of thailand. rescuers named her marion, meaning lady of the sea. incredible images of the rare dugong went viral after she was seen nestling into marine biologists. she was nursed back to health before being released back into the sea. but last week marion was found sick and exhausted and could be saved. that conducted an autopsy finding that she died due to

an infection after ingesting a great deal of plastic. with pieces as large as 20 centimetres long profound in situ stomach. the vets who look after her said they are devastated by the loss of the dugong who had been named the nation‘s suite out. many have taken to social media to mourn the loss and thailand‘s department of marine and coastal resources said slit well, little angel. the country‘s seaweed and seagrass research unit said goodbye, little princess, you are a conservation superstar. heartbreaking to see you die by neglect of the environment. we are all guilty as each has thrown a plastic bag or a straw bottle and that has killed an animal somewhere. the rescuers echoed the call urging people to take responsibility for their waste and helping the death would not be in vain. a54 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. 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 injured us all. two young ladies died and i was the worst injured 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.

a search and rescue operation is underway in kent, to find a child who has fallen into the river stour near sandwich. crews from kent fire and rescue are working with the police, as well as the coastguards, which has deployed a helicopter to help with the search. more as and when we get it. now it‘s time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. to date has been a day of sunshine and showers. we have some cloud around in the highlands of scotland

and we have seen some heavy showers here. across the south of england meanwhile we have this weather front that will be heading in the next few hours outbreaks of rain. it heads north bringing rain potentially into parts of east anglia and south—east england. for the time being it is a largely dry picture across england and wales with only isolated showers. the majority of those downpours across scotland and northern ireland. the rain probably getting into parts of east anglia for a time overnight. clearer skies elsewhere across england and wales but still the threat of some showers in the west. your overnight temperatures between 11 and 1a degrees. for some date we have rain in east anglia and south—east england, but clears out of the way and then again we have heavy showers

during sunday across scotland, some of those ten heavy and thundery. a few showers down towards south—west wales and south—west england, the driest weather probably because the midlands, east anglia, south—east england. into mandate the area of low pressure that has been with us through the weekend is drifting closer to norway. still bad weather front across parts of scotland and northern ireland bringing further heavy showers. and those reaching across parts of northern england and the north—west of wales. temperatures a little below par for the time of year in scotland, just 15 degrees in places. in the best of the sunshine further south temperatures in the low 20s. further in the week ahead it is set to get drier and warmer and we could have

25 degrees in london by friday. showers easing in scotland and northern ireland later in the week.
