here 75 years ago. it's the 16th consecutive weekend but those they came to liberate say they will never forget of protests in hong kong. this the sacrifices they made. is the moment that protestors threw molotov cocktails at riot police. you can see the police fired tear gas in attempt to disperse them. here are the riot police arresting protestors. the police have previously been criticised for their heavy—handed approach. and here's a barricade that was set on fire by protestors earlier. 75 years later and we are our correspondent stephen here with our children, so it is important that they know, where we remember the war and everyone who fought mcdonell is in hong kong. for us, for ourfreedom. i think it is very important. today's rally was cleared — it should be remembered that is, they had official for many, many years. that is why we are here. permission to march. and yet, again, it ‘s turned it wasn't just locals, into one of these street battles. but also relatives and royalty this week, a senior police officer who came to honour their bravery. along with a few surviving veterans told us that they are stretched likejothefferies, to the absolute limit. who still comes to remember the friends he lost. they say they're handling this crisis, but if there was to be a greater escalation the only way so many men wiped out. they could deal with that would be i couldn't believe it. to eat into other areas there may be fewer of them of their police work. with each passing year, but the dutch who they came to liberate, say they'll never be forgotten. jonathan beale, bbc news, arnhem.

as the police detained protesters, there's a lot of attention from the local media. this is a speciality case given the amnesty international report that was released a few days ago, accusing the police mexico's popocatepetl volcano has of excessive force. been caught on camera erupting in the early hours of saturday morning. the dramatic footage shows a plume of ash and gas rising over a thousand metres into the sky now this is something above the snow—capped crater. the officers here deny. activity has been ramping but, given that, when they apprehend up in recent months. people, the media are on them. the volcano is located 80 kilometres after being cleared out of other south—east of the capital, mexico city. areas, protesters have come here to yuen long to mark two months since triad connected gangs ambushed activists and, using home—made weapons, bashed them in the train station. now they've accused some police officers of colluding with those gangs. stunning scenes. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @regedahmadbbc. hello there. while saturday brought us another there've also accused some pro—beijing the politicians warm, dry september day across much are being linked to the underworld. of the uk, things are now changing
4:10 am
this is why they want from sunday and through the course of this coming week it's an independent enquiry, a more unsettled picture. rain or showers at times which is one of their key demands. and you can hear them calling out through the day on sunday and things will start to feel a bit now — "five demands, cooler than they have not one less". done recently, too. and the reason for that is that talks will be held in a few hours we've got low pressure out in a last—ditch effort towards the north—west of the uk. to try to save thomas cook, and that's going to be driving the uk tour operator and one in some weather fronts of the world's oldest through the day. holiday companies. and we've got further low pressure a previous rescue plan failed. systems waiting out in the wings lenders want the company to find an extra $250 million for later on in the week. to secure its future, and it's approached the british government for a bailout. so we start off sunday morning around 600,000 holidaymakers around with some heavy showers, the world could be stranded particularly across south—west if the company collapses. england, the midlands, 0ur reporter simon jones gave wales, northern ireland, too. us an update on advice some thunderstorms likely for holiday—makers and with some of those showers. they drift their way northwards and eastwards across the uk, followed by another band of rain. the talks with thomas cook. some drier and brighter weather working in from the south—west they are due to get under way in the day. so a bit of sunshine around. in the city of london at nine and i think northern and eastern o'clock this morning. scotland probably holding onto the sunshine for a good part of the day. 18—23 degrees, so cooler than it has now, thomas cook is been, but still reasonably warm one of the best—known travel firms in the industry. for some eastern areas where you do it has around 19 see the sunshine at times. million customers each now that showery rain should start
4:11 am
year. lots of those are british customers, but also lots of people to clear away towards the north and the north—east as we move from germany and through sunday night and into the early hours of monday morning. there could be some mist and fog scandinavian countries. patches around first thing monday. and it will be a slightly resonate sunday night compared to this current night. so we are expecting in the morning, but still frost free around 11—13 degrees. details have not been now heading on into monday, confirmed by the company itself, and this next area of low pressure but we are expecting some of those moving in, that's associated with the remnants of ex—hurricane with investments in the firm to meet to humberto, so it will bring some wet try to discuss a way forward, and some windy weather eventually because thomas cook is being told it to the uk, but nothing unseasonable here. needs to hundred million, around $250 million, in fact, much of monday looks dry just to keep going. and fine with some sunshine, why hasn't got into this financial problem? still a bit cloudy and damp well, partly we talk across the north of scotland. about a lot in the uk, late in the day that is where we see brexit, so customers not booking holidays the wind speaking up in the rain because they don't know potentially what is going to happen arriving across south—western after the end of october when the uk england and wales and northern ireland, too. central and eastern england should is scheduled to leave the eu. keep the sunshine through much of monday, 20 degrees also here. also partly the heatwave we saw across typically the high teens for most of us. europe last year when lots of people certainly cooler than simply decided it was lovely it has been recently. more blue on the map for tuesday. atonement they didn't need to go abroad, and also partly being blamed more rain. some of it could be quite and thundery, too. on instability in certain areas also still quite breezy, like turkey, which is traditionally especially towards the south. a popular holiday but some sunny spells destination for the firm. in between the showers, so not a complete washout on tuesday. but it's certainly feeling cooler so people who are currently than it has done recently, travelling and public holidays with most of us seeing temperatures with thomas cook, what is the advice for at 17—18 degrees also on tuesday. them? and then with low pressure not far
4:12 am
away as we look through the rest of the week, plenty of shower symbols on the outlook chart for the capital cities over at the moment it is thought the next five days or so. there around 600,000 customers showers around, particularly who are currently across parts of scotland, already on thomas cook and northern ireland, too. holidays. they are being told to carry on. some sunnier spells for the south and east, but an unsettled story if we look at it for british for much of the week ahead. holidaymakers, we think there are around 160,000 bye— bye. british holidaymakers. now, if they booked a package holiday it is protected by something called atol. that means if the firmware to go under, there would be a scheme where people would be brought back to the uk. so they would be to continue on their holidays, and the civil aviation authority and the the british government would lay on flights, essentially with different firms, to get them back. other nationalities have a similar scheme. lots of german holidaymakers potentially affected by this. there'll be a similar scheme operating in germany, so the german government and other governments across europe will be looking at similar schemes to enable people to fly back home so they are not left stranded. what about people who have booked with thomas cook but have not travelled yet?
4:13 am
it is a very worrying time. we have heard from people who for example have booked weddings abroad for later in the year, people who have booked tickets for the whole of their families. very concerning for them. what they are being told is that if the firm does go under, once again, if it is a package holiday, they will get a refund. but obviously they will have to try to make alternative arrangements if they want to carry on going on the holidays. there is also the issue of people who have not booked a package holiday but have simply booked flights. now, they are not protected by this atol scheme, or similar schemes in european countries. but people who have this is bbc news, the headlines: booked a flight only are being told they could try the democratic presidential to claim that, either frontrunner, joe biden, has accused donald trump from their debit or credit card, of an overwhelming abuse of power. or via their holiday it follows reports that insurance, so it is hoped the president tried to pressure they would not be out of pocket. ukraine to investigate mr biden and his son. once again, it is that mr trump insists his talks uncertainty of having your with foreign leaders holiday planned and not really were "always appropriate". knowing how are going to get there if your first plans are cancelled. so should things go south for thomas cook and the company
4:14 am
fails, what is the government's plant in terms of the british government, to rescue british people? this would be a huge operation, as i said. around 160,000 british holidaymakers abroad with thomas cook. now, there has been a figure put on it that it could cost around £600 million, $750 million, to repatriate all the uk citizens, to bring them back to the uk. saudi arabia has vowed to take appropriate action once the investigation into last week's attack on its oil it would be the biggest repatriation installations is complete. the saudi foreign minister has operation since world war ii, to give you an idea insisted iranian weapons were used, of the scale of it. and has rejected the claim by houthi rebels in yemen that they carried we would see similar things happening in other out the attack. countries as well. so this would be a big deal. and commemorations have been held to mark the 75th but plans are being drawn anniversary of the largest up behind the scenes, airborne assault in history. because it has been thought the battle of arnhem in world war by industry analysts that this ii saw around 35,000 allied soldiers land is a very real possibility, behind enemy lines. but things will go wrong. it was a failed bid to recapture key i spoke to one travel expert and he put it at about 50—50, bridges held by the germans. whether or not the company would survive. now on bbc news, click. it all depends on this crucial meeting in the morning with creditors about whether they are prepared to put in more money to the firm to help try to save it. otherwise we could see one of the biggest names going under. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: what happened when a peaceful climate march
4:15 am
in paris was infiltrated by hundreds of anarchist? ben johnson, the fastest man on earth, is flying home to canada in disgrace. all the athletes should be clean going into the games. i'm just happy that justice is served. it is a simple fact that this morning these people were in their homes. tonight, those homes have been burned down by serbian soldiers and police. all the taliban positions along here have been strengthened, presumably in case the americans invade. it's no use having a secret service which cannot preserve its own secrets against the world and so the british government has no option but to continue this action even after any adverse judgement in australia. concorde have crossed the atlantic faster than any plane ever before, 00:15:42,996 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 breaking the record by six minutes.
