0ur 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. peter fonda, who's died at the age of 79. in a few minutes' time, viewers on bbc one willjoin us for a full round up of the day's news with kate silverton. first, the chancellor, sajid javid, has said he wants to simplify the tax system when he sets out his first budget in the autumn. mrjavid said he was considering a number of reforms, including possible changes to stamp duty, making it payable on property sales, rather than purchases. property expert henry pryor said these changes do not come without concerns.

this would be revolutionary. there are lots of calls, there have been lots of calls for the stamp duty system to be changed and george osborne made significant changes in 2014 and then in 2016. it has got cheaper for 95% of all buyers but these proposals would be revolutionary and they will, i'm afraid in the way they have been framed today, cause considerable consternation in the housing market in general. because buyers, sellers and their agents will sit on their hands and wait until there is some clarity. for many, it will be a zero—sum game. sellers will say the buyer is no longer having to foot the stamp duty bill therefore now that i've got to, i am going to put it on to the price. some buyers who get a mortgage, roughly 65% of people who buy a home get a mortgage, they will be able to put it on their mortgage, borrow money to pay their tax, which a lot of people are uncomfortable about. is it going to affect revenue? stamp duty is starting to dwindle

because the market is tougher. particularly at the top end. but is this going to make a difference. for those people trying to scramble on the lower rungs of the housing ladder? first—time buyers already don't pay stamp duty up to £300,000. and the government has been desperately trying to encourage older people to downsize. to free up family homes so other people can move up the housing ladder. are they going to be able to afford this extra cost and will they be prepared to take that on the chin?

police in berkshire are given more time to question ten people — including a 13—year—old over the death of pc andrew harper. the 28—year—old, killed while investigating reports of a burglary, died of multiple injuries. today his colleagues paid tribute. i also want to thank the public and the wider policing family for their messages of support during this extremely difficult time for everybody affected by andrew's death. police clash with pro—democracy protesters in hong kong, as tens of thousands rally in support of the chinese backed government. and it's a bruising ashes

encounter at lord's, as the second test heads for a thrilling conclusion. good evening. police in berkshire have been searching a caravan site close to where a 28—year—old policeman was killed on thursday night. earlier today thames valley police confirmed that a postmortem examination revealed pc andrew harper, died from multiple injuries. 0fficers said it was consistent with him being dragged along a road by a vehicle. detectives are continuing to question ten people, aged between 13 and 30 years—old, arrested on suspicion of murder. daniela relph reports. colleagues, friends and the local community, all came today to pay

tribute where police constable andrew harper lost his life. almost exactly a month ago to the day, pc harper was getting married. now, instead of heading off on honeymoon next week, his wife has to face life without him. a postmortem showed the police officer died from multiple injuries. detectives have also revealed they are still trying to establish why a call to investigate a burglary ended so tragically. the cause of death is consistent with our current belief that andrew was caught between the vehicle and the surface of a road and then dragged for some distance. however, the circumstances as to how andrew came to be out of his vehicle and caught under the suspect vehicle are as yet unknown. the hunt for evidence has continued throughout the day. there have been extended road closures widening the search area. but the police focus has been on the four houses corner caravan and mobile home site, run by the local authority in west berkshire and used

by the travelling community. access to the area has been restricted as the team leading the murder enquiry take charge. the police have now also confirmed that within an hour of the incident on thursday night, they came to this caravan and mobile home site and it was here that all ten people who are currently in custody were arrested. detectives now have until around midnight tomorrow to question the ten people being held. they are all male, aged between 13 and 30 years old. the death of pc harper has highlighted the dangers officers face in their everyday work. the police loss was today shared by other emergency services. a lot of people say we have sort of a dangerous job, but most of our opinions are that ourjob is nowhere near as dangerous or difficult as the police and the ambulance service. the thames valley force has described this as a complex investigation.

both a professional and personal challenge as they try to solve the murder of a much—loved officer who was one of their own. daniela relph, bbc news, sulhamstead in berkshire. a 17—year—old has been charged with the murder of a lawyer who 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. a search operation‘s underway after a six—year—old boy fell into a river in kent this afternoon. a coastguard helicopter, an inshore lifeboat, firefighters and police are still looking for the child around the river stour in sandwich. local people offering assistance have been given briefings on how to help to hunt for the little boy safely but the emergency services warned individuals not to place themselves at risk. labour leaderjeremy corbyn has insisted that he should be installed as a caretaker prime

minister to stop a no—deal brexit. it comes after senior conservative mp sir 0liver letwin, who's been leading moves at westminster to try to prevent a no—deal brexit, says he could not support any plan that would result in a government led by mr corbyn. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley is here. does this make a no deal brexit more likely? that is certainly what an increasing number of people think. jeremy corbyn is making another plea to mps tonight to back his plan, telling the observer it is the simplest and most democratic way to stop no deal, pleading with them, in his words, to seize the moment before it is too late. the problem jeremy corbyn has is, those conservatives who think no deal would be a disaster also think jeremy corbyn in number ten but also bea jeremy corbyn in number ten but also be a disaster. sir 0liver letwin said today he will not do anything that leads to jeremy corbyn said today he will not do anything that leads tojeremy corbyn in downing street. number ten has a

straightforward message, end of 0ctober straightforward message, end of october the uk definitely leaves the european union. there has been no progress of talks in europe so some like 0liver letwin think no deal is increasingly likely. the question is, what does it look like? tomorrow the sunday times has a leak of the government document about the preparation for no deal, operation yellowhammer. shortages of fuel, reduced availability of some food, plans to avoid a hard border in northern ireland proves to be an ste nts — — northern ireland proves to be an stents —— unsustainable. some are number ten this say isn't what the government thinks is going to happen, it is scenario is being looked at as a way of preparing for no deal. with the clock ticking, a lot think it will just no deal. with the clock ticking, a lot think it willjust be a matter of weeks before we find out what no deal looks like. thank you. riot police have cleared roads in hong kong after a standoff

with pro—democracy protesters, as the political crisis in the city enters its 11th week. a rival pro—government rally also drew massive support, into the tens of 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 this city's freedom. just a short drive away, china has stationed paramilitary police in the border city of shenzhen, it seems as a very visible and ominous warning. are you worried that china will send troops into hong kong? no, because if they do it they have to pay for it. we are not afraid for anything.

0n 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's a clear illustration of the intractable nature of hong kong's political crisis and of the breakdown of trust on all levels. chanting. 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. a bomb has exploded at a wedding reception in afghanistan. eyewitness reports say a suicide bomber detonated explosives inside the packed hall in the capital kabul. an emergency hospital said 20 wounded people had been brought in, and a government official circulated images showing what appeared to be a number of dead bodies. no—one has claimed responsibility for the attack. in sudan, a power—sharing deal has been formally agreed, aiming to end months of violent unrest in the country. military rulers and pro—democracy leaders signed the agreement in the capital khartoum. it paves the way for a transitional government, and eventually, to democratic elections. sudan has been in a state of turmoil since april, when the army ousted its long—time leader 0mar al bashir after 30 years in power. since then dozens of people have

been killed in a bitter stand off between demonstrators, calling for democracy, and the military. from khartoum, zeinab badawi sent this report. there can be no doubt that it is a historic day in sudan. there was a mood of optimism and hope amidst the celebrations. the ceremony, attended by visiting dignitaries, has taken months of closely fought negotiations between the military and leaders of the protest alliance. can you guarantee... the man who signed the agreement on behalf of the military told me that they're genuine about handing power to civilians. translation: we'll stick to every single letter we've agreed on. even without this agreement, we have to work in this direction because it's in the country's interest, it's not our interest. therefore, we'll carry out the agreement, we'll stick to it and support it.

but there's still suspicion and mistrust of the military. today's deal comes after around 100 demonstrators were killed in khartoum injune when security supporters tried to disperse this sit—in. the violence has been blamed on the rapid support forces led by general hemeti, who has been described as the most powerful man in sudan. he denies any involvement. 0n the streets today, some of the mistrust seemed to give way to hope. translation: we hope sudan can move forward so we can be proud of our country and forget about the guns and move towards peace. translation: protesters demanded civilian rule because they wanted a better life. today is a historic day for sudan and hopefully this deal will meet the demands that the revolution was based on. the military and civilians make

for uneasy bedfellows, but for now it seems the sudanese people are giving the military the benefit of the doubt and are working with them together to create a new sudan. zeinab badawi, bbc news, khartoum. with all the sport now, here's karthi gna nasegaram at the bbc sport centre. good evening. the final day of the second ashes test is set to be a fascinating one. there was another feisty innings from australia's steve smith who was hit on the neck forcing him to leave the field, but he returned. both england and australia's fast bowlers were on excellent form on a remarkable day at lord's asjoe wilson reports. everyone at lord's knew the contest — england against steve smith. australia's outstanding batsman reached his 50 before lunch and remained on a different level. now, fast, aggressive bowling is perfectly legitimate. jofra archer was picked to do that and he excelled. smith's blow to the arm was painful.

no fracture. a few minutes later was far more worrying for everyone. to see a batsman in this state is where cricket suddenly remembers its context. as he turned his head, smith was hit in the neck. the australian batsman phillip hughes died after a similar incident. it was obviously, um... some pretty rough memories of a blow like that. so, yeah, there was no fun in it. smith was led away from the playing field. cricket has concussion protocols. but when the next wicket fell, look who came back out. the bravery was obvious to the majority who applauded, but apparently not to the minority who chose to boo. well, australia insisted smith was ok, but he did eventually make a mistake. 0ut finally, lbw, for 92. for steve to come back out having been hit the way he was, you know, it does show some courage

and character to do that. i think he's been incredible in this series so far. steve smith's individual performance certainly kept australia in the game. they finished their first innings just eight runs behind england and then bowled at them. australia took four wickets by the close but also know they should have taken more. england lead by 104. joe wilson, bbc news, lord's. it's time to pop out of the room if you don't want to know today's premier league results as match of the day follows soon on bbc one. var played a crucial and controversial part in the game between champions manchester city and spurs. gabrieljesus had an injury—time goal ruled out by var. the late disallowed goal means the game ended in a 2—2 draw. arsenal beat burnley to start the season with back—to—back wins. liverpool defeated southampton 2—1. there were wins for bournemouth, everton and norwich city.

while brighton and west ham drew. after going out of the champions league in qualifying during the week, celtic were in scottish league cup action. they beat dunfermline 2—1 — one of four games in the second round to go to extra time. livingston beat forfar 2—1 in the only game to finish in 90 minutes. hibs, kilmarnock and partick thistle are also through to the quarterfinals. rugby union's world cup is just over a month away and wales will be top of the world rankings on monday after they beat england 13—6 in their world cup warm—up game this afternoon. it's the first time wales will be the world number one team since the system was introduced in 2003. scotland's first summer test ended in defeat at the hands of france, who were completely in control in nice, winning 32—3. hockey, and there's an added incentive for the winner of the men's euro championships in belgium — they will qualify for next year's tokyo 0lympics.

england and wales drew their opening game, 2—2. england's james galle scoring the equaliser with two minutes to go. scotland lost 9—0 to germany. and ireland were beaten 5—1 by the netherlands. there's more on the bbc sport website including the speed climbing world championships ahead of the tokyo 0lympics and news of salford and london broncos victories in rugby league's super league. that's all from me and the team. have a very good night.

hello again. well, broadly speaking, today has been a day of sunshine and showers, with rather breezy conditions as well. some very large, towering clouds threatening there in the skyline in the highlands of scotland, and here we have seen a number of heavy showers tied up with an area of low pressure just to the north—west. across the south of england, meanwhile, we have this wiggling weather front that is going to be heading in over the next few hours. that will threaten outbreaks of rain, scraping its way across the south of england before turning north, bringing rain potentially into parts of east anglia and south—east england, but for the time being, it is a largely dry picture across england and wales, only isolated showers. the majority of the downpours working in across scotland and northern ireland where they will continue to be through the rest of the night time. there is that rain working into south—east england, probably getting into a good part of east anglia as well for a time overnight, with clearer skies elsewhere across england and wales but the threat of a few showers in the west, showers continuing to feed in on the blustery winds in scotland and northern ireland, overnight temperatures between 11—14 degrees. on sunday, there is this wave on the weather front to start with, bringing rain to east anglia and south—east england.

that will clear out of the way, and with low pressure close by to the north—west of scotland, again, this is where we will see the lion's share of the showers on sunday, some of them turning heavy and thundery, and showers getting in at times to north—west england, northern wales, a few showers down towards south—west wales and south—west england, the driest weather probably across the midlands, east anglia, south—east england, once we have lost the threat of the early morning rain. into monday, the area of the low pressure that has been with us through the weekend will drift closer to norway. we still have weather fronts tucking in across parts of scotland and northern ireland bringing further heavy showers or perhaps even lengthy spells of rain for a time. the showers reach in across parts of northern england and the north—west of wales. the driest weather across south—eastern areas of the uk. temperatures below par for the time of year in scotland, 15 in stornoway, 16 in edinburgh, but in the best of the sunshine further south, temperatures will reach the low 20s. looking to the weather further ahead in the week, it is set to get warmer and drier. temperatures could reach 25 in london by friday and showers

eventually ease off in scotland and northern ireland later in the week.
