and the british living in spain who fear a no—deal brexit will leave them without vital healthcare. ifi if i lose my health care, wouldn't it be easier tojust die? hello, and welcome to world news today. there've been a series of arrests of prominent pro—democracy activists and politicians in hong kong, in a sign the authorities are taking an increasingly tough line. they have banned more street protests, planned for saturday. demonstrators first to the streets three months ago, demanding the authorities withdraw plans to allow people to be extradited to face trial in mainland china. since then, huge numbers have joined the protests, also calling for free elections and for charges to be dropped against protesters.

from hong kong, john sudworth reports, and there are some flashing images from the start. past the waiting press pack, two of the best—known figures in hong kong's pro—democracy movement were swept into court. hundreds have already been detained in the summer of furya as fears over chinese rule have led to increasingly violent clashes. but with prominent members of the city's parliament also picked up, these latest high—profile arrests are being seen as much more political, a point made on the steps of the court after a successful bail review. the level of media interest here speaks for itself. far from de—escalating the crisis, the arrest of this young man and others is only likely to fuel concern about the erosion of hong kong's freedoms and legal protections. we are strongly aware of how

president xijinping and the beijing government are the ones who back and endorse hong kong police to conduct such mass arrests and prosecution. we hong kong people won't give up and won't be scared by these injustices. today the police insisted that they are just following the law, threatening further arrests for anyone joining unauthorised protests this weekend. meanwhile, china has released more video of paramilitary forces conducting anti—riot drills. as the messages get tougher, they may dissuade some. but others are only likely to be further emboldened. john sudworth, bbc news, hong kong. tom grundy is the editor in chief of the hong kong free press independent news outlet. he has more details about what effect these arrests will have.

the fact is that what has been happening over the summer in hong kong, people organising online. there are no particular leaders nominated to speak to anyone. and when they get to the protest sites, they communicate in person or on telegram messaging acts as to what to do next. so this i think comes just a day before there was meant to bea just a day before there was meant to be a huge protest tomorrow, which is the anniversary of beijing handing down a white paper on hong kong's democracy that ended up triggering the development in 2014. and although there have been efforts to ban that protest tomorrow, which was organised by a mainstream coalition of ngos, people are still planning to come down and protest. it is very unpredictable what will happen, but in light of all this unlawful assembly arrests, people are being a

bit more imaginative about how and when and where they may be meeting tomorrow. so we are hearing activists who might be meeting up for a so—called shopping trip or a mass football match, some even saying they may gather for a religious gathering which do not police permission. this will be a very unprintable saturday, and if it is anything like recent weeks, there could be another incident between police and protesters. as fires continue to burn in the amazon rainforest, brazil's military chief says his government is in talks with four countries offering help — chile, israel, ecuador, and the united states. brazil's president jair bolsanaro has previously rejected an offer of money from the g7 countries. more than 80,000 fires have broken out in the vast rainforest so far this year. sophie long reports from para state, deep in the amazon. this was once lush rainforest, but now sparse land — a result of deforestation in the years gone by.

but this year there has been a massive surge in the number of fires set to clear the trees, and the landscape along the bau road that takes us deep into the jungle bears the scars of the blazes that are now threatening a whole way of life. in the bau indigenous village, they are preparing for a naming ceremony for the latest addition to this tight—knit, traditional community. but as they prepare to celebrate new life, the village chief tells me the threat to his people is increasing with every day of jair bolsonaro's presidency. translation: if the president continues with his policies, he will diminish indigenous lands so that he can confine us and exterminate us. that is what will happen. next year, the burning will be even bigger, but we will be here fighting and resisting. we are prepared to die fighting for our land because we are warriors that are not afraid of the brazilian government. as the fires continue to burn, the smoke continues to rise from the forest.

in novo progresso, there is a heavy haze all around. it is smothering the city and it's choking its children. carla te silva's two—year—old daughter has pneumonia. she is convinced she contracted it because of the smoke. she says if she doesn't get the right treatment, she could die. translation: the lives of our children are being jeopardised by people that don't have any sense. they are doing harm to other people, they are just thinking about themselves. it is something i don't have words for. they do the damage and we are the ones who suffer, the children and their mothers. i asked the nurse on duty if children's lives are being put at risk. "yes," she tells me, "notjust the children. it's dangerous for everyone." translation: this is a huge problem. if things keep going like this, unfortunately the consequences

will be even worse than the ones we are already witnessing. even though it is not happening inside of our own homes, we are all living in this place. everybody here wants the smoke to go away. even when the fires have been put out, this is what remains — scorched earth, charred skeletons of trees. the dense rainforest that once stood here is no more, the species that lived in it are gone. all that remains is the flat, black land of deforestation and this has happened in more than 80,000 places across the amazon this year alone. sophie long, bbc news, novo progreso in the amazon. let's look at some of the day's other news. protesters in the indonesian province of papua have set fire to public buildings in the capital jaya—pura, in continuing demonstrations over alleged racial discrimination. around a 1,000 people took part, a day after at least three people died in clashes

in the town of deiyai. the protests began last week after papuan students in east java were reportedly called "monkeys". the head of the five star party in italy, luigi di maio, has surprised his prospective coalition partners by saying that if they don't sign up to his demands, it would be better to hold snap elections. mr di maio's policies include maintaining a law criminalising sea rescue charities, which his new allies have called monstrous. there's been a "sustained effort" to hack iphones over at least two years, according to security experts at google. malicious software was implanted to collect contacts, images and other data on apps like instagram and whatsapp. apple has since issued a fix, but hasn't commented on the vulnerability. i asked our silicon valley reporter dave lee whether all iphones, were affected.

everyone's iphone would have been vulnerable, certainly. the question is whether their devices were targeted. now what we don't know about this attack, despite the huge amounts of information police research has shared, was the nature of these websites in who they may have been created by in order to carry out this attack. there is a suggestion that the sophistication of this attack would point to a significant force, perhaps a nation state. and indeed the number of vulnerabilities this use, ie the number of weaknesses used to carry out the attack, having that knowledge would have been worth several million dollars at least. so there is a suggestion that whoever is behind this attack was a very sophisticated actor indeed. in terms of people's personal iphones, if they are worried, the best way to make sure that you are not vulnerable to this attack going forward from where we are today is the same advice that we always give with security threats like this — make sure your phone is as up—to—date as it should be, and for

iphone users, that is under the softwa re iphone users, that is under the software update par on the settings menu. that is the advice we always give because that is the best way to protect yourself against this kind of attack. extraordinary that a vulnerability quite so severe should be undetected for so long, and now apple are saying nothing? that is quite peculiar, isn't it? apple haven't been speaking on the record about this, they have —— they feel there action to deal with this back in february was sufficient. they released a patch six days after they we re released a patch six days after they were informed, which is impressive, normally that takes longer to fix these kinds of problems. as far as apple is concerned, it seems they are happy that was their response and they don't need to comment on this further. but it is interesting that something of this magnitude that something of this magnitude that was going on for at least two yea rs, that was going on for at least two years, these researchers say, has not been met with any greater explanation from apple. but i guess

that may come in the future. tropical storm dorian has been upgraded to a category three hurricane, as it heads towards the us mainland. it's expected to hit florida with winds of 200 kilometres per hour. residents have begun boarding up windows and stocking up on food, water and gas in preparation for the storm, predicted be the worst to hit the state since hurricane andrew in 1992. cbs news correspondent david begnaud sent this update from florida. we are in merritt island, florida, just outside of orlando. people are waiting in line right now to get sandbags. yesterday they waited for more than eight hours. today, people showed up before 6am. the sandbags were to be distributed at 8am, but a group of people brought their own shovels, grab the bags that police left over, and are now serving themselves. you can understand why, as people prepare for what is expected to be a major hurricane. the governor of florida, ron desantis, has told people to prepare now, not to wait until the weekend.

and they want people to prepare not only with sandbags, but also with food, water, and fuel. we have seen lines for gasoline stretching for blocks, and even for a half mile. shelves at various stores are empty, specifically the shelves for things like bread and water. in fact, some grocery stores are telling people that you are limited to four cases of water per family. i should tell you this, no one seems to be panicking here in florida. everyone is calm, but heeding the warning from the governor to get ready now. david begnaud, cbs news, for the bbc. stay with us on bbc world news, still to come: all the sport, including james anderson's calf injury ruling him out of the ashes series. he's the first african—american to win the presidential nomination of a major party. and he accepts, exactly 45 years ago to the day,

that martin luther king declared, "i have a dream". as darkness falls tonight, and unfamiliar light will appear in the southeastern sky — an orange, glowing disc that's brighter than anything — save the moon, and our neighbouring planet, mars. there was no doubt that this election is an important milestone in the birth of east timor as the world's newest nation. it will take months and billions of dollars to repair what katrina achieved injust hours. three weeks is the longest the great clock has been off—duty in 117 years. so it was with great satisfaction that clockmaker, john vernon, swung the pendulum to set the clock going again. this is bbc world news today.

i'm martin stanford, the latest headlines... police in hong kong have made more arrests in their latest crackdown on the pro—democracy movement, ahead of a demonstration on saturday. brazil has accepted help from four foreign countries to deal with the fires in the amazon. chile, israel, ecuador, and the united states are the nations involved. british nationals who live in eu countries may no longer have their health care costs covered in the event of a no—deal brexit. as the deadline for britain leaving the european union fast approaches, many say they feel "alone and forgotten" by the british government. tim muffett reports from the costa del sol. under the spanish sun, dave is waiting on events in brussels and westminster. good to meet you. hi, good to meet you too. how do you feel you have been treated by the british government? drea dfully. i think if i'd treated a dog the same way, i'd have been in court. what they've told us

has been half—truths, lies, misdirections. it seems to change week by week. dave moved to almeria in andalucia in 2004. he has parkinson's disease and has had two heart attacks. like other british pensioners, he has been able to access health care in another eu country but the chance of a no—deal brexit has changed things. this one is a cardiac drug. that is for parkinson's. if it is a no—deal brexit, you don't know for sure whether you will be able to access these medicines? i can't get them without prescription, any of them. the cost of the medicines alone is around 700 euros a month. i can't afford it. something would have to give. i'm wondering, you know, is itjust worth going on? you know? if i lose my health care, wouldn't it be easier to just die? even if there is a no—deal brexit, both the british and spanish governments have said they want to carry on offering

a reciprocal health care agreement to pensioners from both countries, but nothing yet has been formalised and it is that uncertainty which many are finding so unsettling. my battle with cancer has been hampered by actually having a fight with brexit as well. lisa moved to spain three years ago. she is undergoing treatment for breast cancer. expats have been advised to register for spanish residency. lisa says her application has been rejected on a technicality, even though she's been here for three years. if i don't have residency, i don't have my health care rights. do you fear, then, if there is a no deal exit, that your treatment could effectively stop? yes, of course it could. suddenly, countries can suddenly decide they don't like each other too much. it's unlikely but so was prorogation. this is why the panic and the anxiety is rising. others are confident things will be sorted.

neil hesketh runs a support group for expats. there is no question in my mind that both britain and spain would want a one—to—one agreement. before spain evenjoined the eu 30, 35 years ago, there were lots of different agreements between britain and spain over health care, pension rights, workers' rights. but no government, whether in spain or britain, is going to let people not be covered, it's just not going to happen. people here expect to feel the heat but, as brexit gets nearer, the questions keep coming. gavin ramjaun has all the sport. hello and thanks forjoining us. after dropping the first set in each of his first two matches at the us open, no such trouble for roger federer against british number two dan evans. he smashed his way past him 6—2, 6—2, 6—1, in one hour, 22 minutes. five—time champion federer, who lost in the last 16 last year, will play david goffin or pablo carreno busta next.

in the women's side of the draw, jo konta beat zhang shuai. and serena williams is safely through to the fourth round. a big blow for england, in the ashes — james anderson has been ruled out of the rest of the series. he had been playing for lancashire's second 11, but he felt a pain in his calf yesterday. following that, medical teams have ruled him out for the final two tests. earlier this week, there had been some positive noises from anderson. he said he felt like he was getting somewhere and seemed hopeful of playing in the fourth test next week. he'll be replaced by somerset seamer craig 0verton. with the ashes series tied at one all, the momentum is with england after that sensational win at headingley last week. he's going to be feeling his pain. i know he will be gutted, and it might actually give him a bit more steel to come backjust actually give him a bit more steel to come back just for another actually give him a bit more steel to come backjust for another little ste nt, to come backjust for another little stent, just to remind himself of what he has achieved in his career.

this one blip will be frustrating, but we all know what a bowler he is. so anderson out, but england will still have the pace ofjofra archer to call upon — he's taken 13 wickets in his first two test matches. archer's inclusion in the england side has changed the series — according to his head coach at sussex — jason gillespie. i like the look of the australian bowling. but i think england's bowling. but i think england's bowling one up with archer coming m, bowling one up with archer coming in, that'sjust added a new dimension to the attack, there's no doubt about that. we've been saying it in sussex all along that he's ready to go. lots of people hadn't seen him play much. i think he's just buzzing and excited, like a kid in the candy store playing for his country. he'sjust in the candy store playing for his country. he's just absolutely loving it. here in sussex, we are all supportive of him. we love seeing him do well. as an aussie i like seeing him do well, but i'd like to seeing him do well, but i'd like to see australia do well as well.

manchester united defender chris smalling has joined serie a side roma. they've agreed a year—long loan, with roma paying a fee of $3.2—million. united manager 0le gunnar soljkaer said it was a good move for him. i couldn't promise chris regular football. and he's on the plane over now, i think you will enjoy the experience over there. it's a big club, good league. not many english players have had the chance to play in italy. and i'm sure he'll come back stronger and better for it. 0ne game into the serie a season, and we're already talking about what could be a title decider! juventus and napoli play on saturday. they've been the top two, for three out of the last four seasons, and are favourites to compete for those positions again.

translation: the team that got closer to juventus is translation: the team that got closer tojuventus is natalie. it is true this is the second game of the league, so nothing is definitive. but it is an important fixture. dinapoli are a great team with a great coach, and we are curious to see how the team will respond to their first see how the team will respond to theirfirst home see how the team will respond to their first home game with a big crowd attending. it is a very big match and we are motivated to perform at our best. that's all the sport for now. we will see you later on, thanks. thank you, gavin. almost 30 years after the collapse of the berlin wall, there are still significant political differences between germany's old east and west. the far right party, afd, is popular in the former east and in two regional elections there this weekend it could emerge as the strongest party. 0ur berlin correspondent jenny hill went to goerlitz in saxony to find out why. angela merkel promised them

stability, strength. here in germany's old east, they don't believe her any more. the far right has made itself at home in what was conservative country. afd promises security and it deals in fear. translation: i'm sick to the back teeth of foreigners taking over our fatherland. i don't like having muslims in my country. translation: there isn't much wrong here, but we see it on television. we don't want conditions like they have in west germany, where police don't dare go into certain places. we don't want that here. loved by tourists, famed for its architecture. 30 years ago, goerlitz was behind the iron curtain. the town's been rebuilt, the country reunited. still, some here feel they've been left behind.

translation: afd isn't just a problem here, it's a general problem in the east. there are a number of reasons. many people here experienced radical change in 1989, and now we face big changes again, with digitalisation and the end of coal production here. many are afraid of these changes. there is a fragility about germany's big old political parties. centre—left and centre—right failing to reach voters like heiko, who was a young man when the berlin wall came down. translation: they have cheated people for years. they made promises before elections but the only thing that always improved was their salaries. i wonder where all the money for foreigners is coming from. you could put it into schools or old people's homes, but that doesn't happen. it all feels very tranquil but, behind the beautiful facades, there is a real division here and angela merkel

will be watching closely. a strong afd performance could put more pressure on her government, but it's about more than that. what's happening here represents a nationwide struggle to define what modern germany's values really are. grilling for victory. mrs merkel‘s eastern conservatives. she asks question in german. but when i asked the regional prime minister how he plans to beat afd, he seems reluctant to engage. for most germans, afd remains an unpalatable choice, but it's fast becoming an established part of this country's politics. jenny hill, bbc news, goerlitz. some breaking news for you, the co—founder and current ceo of twitter, jack dorsey, appears to have had his account hacked. the @jack profile, which has 4.2 million followers,

posted and retweeted a flurry of racist language and comments. the attack seems to have been carried out by a group calling it has now been frozen for the moment. hello there. a different story further north and west where we still have some cloud and rain continuing through this evening and overnight, particularly west across northern ireland and wiley into scotland, should turn dry into north wales in northwest england with the rain band arriving towards the end of the night. i had of it quite breezy, generally dry and warm temperatures, 12—14dc. we should that in the back of the morning, sunshine and showers developing. the rain continues for longer and scotland, especially in the north. sunshine chasing in across england and wales, behind that band of rain that arrives in the southeast of england and east anglia in the afternoon. not much rain here by then, temperatures

still 24 celsius or so. the last of the warmth is turning cooler and fresher elsewhere, despite the sunshine, actually start to the new month on sunday. sunshine and showers and especially for north wales and northwards. a full round up of the days news. before that, developed by somerset police, it uses mentoring and education to help young drug dealers break out of a life of crime. this programme contains adult themes and strong language. we arejust like scavengers, basically. we just go around and rob people. simple as that. and hurt them? yeah. if they don't give us the money.

the front line. there was a time with the police couldn't even drive down there. and we would be mad dogging them as well like, what are you going to do? and that put us number one on the police hit list. clinton wilson, also known as king aggi was the leader of one of britain's most notorious gangs of drug dealers. the aggi crew. a group of friends from east bristol who grew up to become violent and dangerous criminals. the police couldn't grab me. i stand right here with my back to them like this. yeah, they are not grabbing me, because if they do, all of them are running in. so we are a problem. simple as that. because you were such a tight group? because we were such a tight group. the aggi crew rule at the crack cocaine the aggi crew ruled the crack cocaine market with intimidation and violence. but when clinton wilson's criminal

empire crashed around him, he lost most of his adult life to prison. 20 years on and bristol is still the crack capital of england, now clinton wants to stop other people from getting involved in drug dealing. ending up in prison or worse. you have t ounderstand, these kids nowadays are running around with swords, you know? and i know that they don't know that if they stab you, you're going to die. our main story, cracking down on knife crime. new figures that 100 people who have been fairly step so far this year in the uk. greater manchester police say they are increasing efforts to fight knife crime. detectives have launched a murder investigation after an 18—year—old man was stabbed in birmingham last night. police officers from south yorkshire have held talks with the home secretary to discuss the problem of knife crime. tonight we start with the scourge of night crime sweeping england. drug dealers don'tjust flood our streets with crack and heroin, they also carrying knives to assert their control.

but is prison always the answer? police and bristol have another idea. they have admitted that it is risky, but it may save lives and keep some young people out of prison. what i do see is an awful waste of talent and brilliant bright young individuals that have turned to criminality, what we can do to stop them from offending. and that is the principal for the calling is about. based on an american idea, the calling gives young offenders a choice when they are arrested for drug dealing. go to court and face prison? or go on a six—month course to try and break out of the cycle of crime? it goes further than any other uk police force has before. and clinton is using his experience to reinforce the message that crime doesn't pay. the young people have been given access to education, apprenticeships, even driving lessons, even driving lessons, with the hope that they'll get

a
