hello and welcome to bbc news. police in hong kong have used tear gas and water cannon to disperse protesters hurling rocks and petrol bombs in anti—government demonstrations. they were marking five years since the start of what became known as the umbrella movement, a campaign for greater democratic freedom under chinese rule. from hong kong, here's our china correspondent, john sudworth. the everyday object that lent its name to a movement was in use again. five years after it first shielded the protesters from the pepper spray and tear gas. in 2014, the umbrella protests faded away. but this year they're

back with a vengeance — in far more violent form. we have no choice. like, we can't go back. imean... for me, like... if we lose this time, hong kong cannot survive for more than another five years. the anniversary began calmly enough, with thousands joining a peaceful rally. but this is now a deeply divided society. with those who fear that hong kong's freedoms are being eroded... ..pitted against often ugly confrontation against the supporters of chinese rule. this man, beaten for carrying a chinese flag by those who say they are fighting to protect freedom of speech. by the end of the night, the centre of hong kong was a battleground once more.

so the protesters are retreating from the water cannon and the pepper spray. five years ago the umbrella movement began on this spot. they gained no political concessions. that's why these people say their far more militant tactics are justified. the authorities marked the anniversary with a belated promise to look again at electoral reform. the protesters smashed their windows and then disappeared into the night. john sudworth, bbc news, hong kong. the forecast is for a low turnout, in afghanistan's presidential election, with tens of thousands of police and soldiers protecting polling stations, after warnings of violence from the taliban. so far at least four people have been killed, and 80 others injured, in bomb and mortar attacks. the poll, which had been delayed twice, follows the breakdown of peace talks, between

the taliban and the us. martin patience reports now from the capital, kabul. voting in afghanistan takes courage. this is an election that will be closely scrutinised for fraud. taliban threats didn't stop these women from turning out, no matter what it took. in a hospital in the city ofjalalabad, these people know the cost of democracy. 36 people here were injured in a blast. translation: i had been queueing up to vote for ten minutes. then i heard an explosion. the next thing i knew, i was lying on the ground and my legs were wounded. translation: we need security. we call on our next president to deliver security. but a massive security presence wasn't enough to bring people out.

what's striking is the streets of the capital have been quiet all day. normally they'd be busy with people heading to the polls to elect their next president. but the fear of taliban attacks mean many people have chosen to stay at home. earlier today, president ashraf ghani cast his vote, saying this election will help move the country forward. and his main challenger, doctor abdullah abdullah, conveyed a similar message. was today's vote a success? from a security point of view, yes. but the taliban threats worked. voters didn't turn out. taliban threatened particular, certain objectives for them. they were going to attack the sites, they were going to make targeted attacks in cities. but today, they failed to do it. but if voter turnout is as low as predicted,

how much legitimacy will the next afghan president have? martin patience, bbc news, kabul. sethjones is an afghan analyst at the think tank the center for strategic and international studies. he explains why this election is so important. primarily because this is the still the country with the largest number of combat forces in a war zone for the united states. and with the president of the us, donald trump wanting to leave, a lot then hinges on the due to a sea of the afghan government. the elections are one way to test that. given what you've said them, who do you think the white house will be hoping as the winner in this election? i'm not sure the white house is necessarily hoping there is a winner but i think

what the white house is doing and indications of individuals i have spoken to at the white house is at the election is clear—cut, either in the election is clear—cut, either in the first round of the second round, and that afghans generally accept the winner. there may be concerns about fraud, obviously there has been violence but they generally accept the outcome. that is what most people are hoping for. and i mentioned a moment ago the collapse of those peace talks with the taliban. those peace talks are being that by the united states. what hope do you think is there for those peace talks been revived?” do you think is there for those peace talks been revived? i actually think it was probably good timing for the collapse of the peace talks because they were potentially going to be announced right before a presidential election when it was not clear he was going to be the leader of afghanistan just three weeks later. so i think the step now is once there is a leader that emerges over the next couple of weeks in afghanistan, then we can return to — return to talks with the tell about and then shift the talks between the us and how the man to those where they really need to go

between the afghan government and the taliban. -- the us and the taliban. can we see how this election has been marred by violence and attacks, and also it seems a low turnout. how problematic do you think that is for the that intimacy of the outcome, whatever it may be? i don't think it's necessarily legitimate, that concerning. i think the problem will be if there is significant fraud and the outcome is very close, i think that is where we will see the biggest series of concern because in that case it would tip the vote. people should also remember that under a taliban government, there are no... there's no voting, there are no elections but there's just ruled by law. we get a very different system if we we re get a very different system if we were to to something else. seth jones are speaking to me a little earlier. the white house has restricted access to transcripts of some of president donald trump's calls with foreign leaders. that's according to us media reports. officials say notes about calls to leaders including

russia's vladimir putin and the saudi crown prince have not been handled in the usual way. it comes as an impeachment investigation into president trump over his administration's dealing with ukraine is gathering pace. our north america correspondent, peter bowes explains more. the significance is that it really exposes two sides of the story, that according to these reports, the white house for some time now, for several months has been restricting the transcripts of conversations that the president has had with as you say world leaders like president putin, the crown prince of saudi arabia, and essentially keeping that information on a special server with access allowed only for a few people in the white house. and the implication is that that was done because it was to stop leaks of conversations of the president — make up the president was having, there was one he had with malcolm turnbull, the then prime minister of australia back in 2017, that was

leaked. the suggestion is that those calls like this latest one, this controversial one with the president of ukraine are being captured tighter security. the other side of the story, the democrats suspect that in fact what is happening is that in fact what is happening is that the white house is trying to cover up that the white house is trying to cover up details of that controversial conversation. as borisjohnson arrives in manchester for the conservative party conference, there is growing speculation that opposition parties at westminster are considering a vote of no confidence in the british prime minister. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, says a caretaker government is becoming more likely every day. the scottish national party has reiterated its support for a move against the prime minister, to prevent the uk leaving the eu without a deal. the conservatives insist they're the only party that can get brexit done. chris mason's report contains some flashing images. borisjohnson — you are not fit... boris johnson arrived

here this evening with his girlfriend, carrie symonds. are you losing control, prime minister? a prime minister in office but barely in control — defeated in court but defiant. what a week it's been. the prime minister's advice to her majesty was unlawful. parliament has not been prorogued. welcome back to our place of work. many of us in this place are subject to death threats... i've never heard so much humbug in all my life. he faces huge questions about the country's future and his own past. the mayor of london supports you. you like hanging out hang out with us, right? ido! borisjohnson has been referred to the police watchdog over a potential criminal offence relating to his relationship with the businesswomen jennifer arcuri over allegations she received favourable treatment, including grants and a place on trade trips, when mrjohnson was mayor of london. the prime minister denies any wrongdoing. this issue is being politically driven, it's politically motivated.

and the prime minister has been clear that proprieties were observed. all in all, is all of this an open goalfor labour? they hope so. even if some privately wonder if their leader is match—fit. if the government falls, loses a vote of confidence, could jeremy corbyn become caretaker prime minister? at the moment he doesn't have the numbers. and yet... it's getting more likely every single day because this government is collapsing. it has now lost all seven votes since boris johnson became prime minister and this tory government has been defeated over 45 times in parliament. they don't have a majority, they don't have a programme, they don't have policies and they don't also have any credibility. the scottish national party want to be seen to be trying to bring down the government next week and could live with mr corbyn in downing street. the only way to guarantee another brexit delay, they think, and then have a general election.

it's only right and proper that he, as the leader of the largest opposition party, should have the first opportunity to form an administration. but if another name appears in the frame, a ken clarke or a dominic grieve, that people can coalesce around, then i personally — and i think the snp — would have very little difficulty with that. no—one but no—one knows what's over the horizon right now. but this is a party, despite everything, determined to show the world its best side. chris mason, bbc news, in manchester. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: he documented the islamic state group's atrocities in his city and survived. we meet the heroic historian of mosul. in all russia's turmoil it has never quite come to this. president yeltsin said the day would decide the nation's destiny. the nightmare that so many people

had feared for so long is playing out its final act here. russians are killing russians in front of a grandstand audience. it was his humility which produced affection from catholics throughout the world. but his departure is a tragedy for the catholic church. this man, israel's right winger, ariel sharon, visited the religious compound and that started the trouble. he wants israel alone to have sovereignty over the holy sites. an idea that's unthinkable to palestinians. after 45 years of division, germany is one. in berlin, a million germans celebrate the rebirth of europe's biggest and richest nation. this is bbc news.

the latest headlines: marking five years since the umbrella marking five years since the u m brella protests, marking five years since the umbrella protests, hong kong's democracy movement takes to the streets for another night of clashes. vote counting has begun after afg hanistan‘s general election. the country's incumbent president has appealed to taliban militants to respect the people's choice and end the war. the former president of zimbabwe, robert mugabe, has been buried in a simple ceremony in his home village of kutama. mr mugabe's final resting place has been the subject of a dispute between his family and the government since he died earlier this month, aged 95. the bbc‘s shingai nyoka sent this update. it's a very ordinary ending for an extraordinary political career, a low— key extraordinary political career, a low—key church service proceeded robert mugabe's burial here in the triangle village ofjimbo. a service attended by family, relatives,

neighbours and very few vips and former comrades. robert mugabe was many things to many people, he was at myers for his fiery rhetoric and revive the human rights abuses as well as earning a once prosperous country. but very few anticipated this is how it would and for mr mugabe, his burial in a quiet rural village. he was a man who thrived in the spotlight, who revelled in public attention. resident mugabe chose to make a political statement. he was totally... and the message thatis he was totally... and the message that is coming out is it doesn't matter what you think about his policies, he certainly had an influence. some say his decision to be buried here is a political

statement stop robertson two was an avid chess player and he hated to lose. when he left power in 2017, he did so unwillingly. and when he leaves today, he does so in his own terms, buried in a courtyard, far away from those who betrayed him. shingai nyoka, zimbabwe. in 2014 fighters from the islamic state group swept across northern iraq and captured the country's second city, mosul. they brutally imposed strict dress codes, and punished activities like smoking cigarettes or using a mobile phone with flogging or amputation. the militants posted propaganda all over the internet, but at the same time, an historian living in mosul was posting a counter narrative, exposing is atrocities. he told witness history about his experience. isis is a grouping of some of the

world's most violent sunny militants. they've been disowned by al-qaeda. in less than a week, their army took most all. you have to take sides. you have to decide whether you are with them or against them. i decided to stand against them at that time i was teaching at the university. and it was taken over as a military camp. most —— mosul eye was a website i set up to get information out of the rest of the well. i wake up in the morning, i go out, i collect information, and then igo out, i collect information, and then i go back. i would go everything by hand and scan it in. one mistake could lead to death, to the end.

from the pulpits, the ias leader proclaimed himself the ruler of limbs —— isis leader. proclaimed himself the ruler of limbs -- isis leader. i felt very offended because who is this guide isa claim offended because who is this guide is a claim he is a caliph in our city? not even my mother. isis was getting into the city, into the neighbourhoods, there was only a thin wall between me and isis when i was reporting against them. next door was an isis senior fighter, the other house next to our house was a isis fighter, in front of us was a house of isis. behind the city there was another war house of isis was up andi was another war house of isis was up and i am in the middle of all of this, reporting against isis! from

the beginning i decided that i would only write facts by knowing the source 01’ only write facts by knowing the source or witnessing the event myself. religious police controlled everything. shaving, smoking were all considered immoral and the punishment anything from public lashings to execution. the public executions were a system that isis imposed on the city. they were enjoying theirs. they were feeling the pleasure of terrorising the people. isis wanted to make it like a show, as if they were shooting a film for hollywood. a horror movie. sometimes behaving... 0r film for hollywood. a horror movie. sometimes behaving... or they made a brother shoot his brother. what made

mosul eye at the time more powerful is that its message reached out to the international media, and they made it public everywhere. newsnight has spoken to the writer of a blog, a blog called mosul eye which has been communicating the bite of the city for over two years. been communicating the bite of the city for over two yearslj been communicating the bite of the city for over two years. i was resisting the fundamentals of the narrative, and it was something they really didn't like. that was my strength, and that was my thought, that i found a way to resist isis. and all i had at that time was the pan and the paper. —— pen. there've been huge protests outside the swiss parliament with tens of thousands of people demanding the government take action on climate change. 0rganisers of the march in the capital bern say 100,000

people took part. police would only say it was one of the biggest demos in the city in recent years. it comes three weeks ahead of parliamentary elections with pollsters predicting a swing to green candidates. us sprinter christian coleman's won the 100m world championships gold in doha just weeks after a controversy over his place in the competition. it makes him the fastest man of the year with a finish time of 9.76 seconds. the build up to the competition saw the us anti—doping agency charge coleman with missing three drugs tests in 12 months before withdrawing the claim. he gave this reaction after his win. so that you start with something like that. trying to smear my reputation. i don't know how the information got out there to the public, but it shouldn't have. it is what it is man, and now although got to do is keep doing what i've been doing, focus on me, now i am well

champion, that is something nobody will ever take from me. —— world champion. well, the 50km walk events are currently under way, despite the hot and humid conditions of the women's marathon on friday. 28 of the 69 runners in the marathon failed to finish, prompting criticism of the decision to hold the race. the sport's governing body said the completion rate was comparable to women's races at tokyo in 1991 and moscow in 2013. but even in the stadium, where there is air conditioning, athletes have struggled with the heat. john brewer is professor of sports science at buckinghamshire university and advisor to the london marathon on nutrition and training. he says the decision to hold the race was a mistake. i've run 20 marathons, i've done a lot of research on the science of marathon running, and the one thing we know the real enemy to marathon runners and indeed all insurance leads are hot and humid conditions. and of course this isn't a race like

the london marathon where people can ta ke the london marathon where people can take their time and just complete the course, all of the athletes in the course, all of the athletes in the world championships are competing, they are running as quickly as they can, and just in terms of the science, with the human body produces energy to run, it also produces heat. unless we have an efficient meaning of losing that heat, it means, the body temperature rises rapidly, and sweating is one way, that is inhibited very greatly. asa way, that is inhibited very greatly. as a consequence, body temperature can rise and that as i was also minneapolis dropping out. i think it was ina minneapolis dropping out. i think it was in a sense very fortunate that there was nothing more serious than that because you can have a condition called hypothermia where the body literally overheats to dramatic levels which can be potentially life—threatening —— hyperthermia, so my thought is the decision is that the race was run by people who have perhaps never run a

marathon before or didn't understand the conditions. i hope those doing the conditions. i hope those doing the 50 kilometre walk is carried out safely. the location was known for some time, is that not something, the humidity, that up good factor into their training? they try to. i know the great britain team would have tried to increase their distances in training to acclamation to those hot conditions, as the body gradually comes to tolerate the site conditions. but you can't replicate the very different conditions of racing ina the very different conditions of racing in a hot and the very different conditions of racing in a hotand humid the very different conditions of racing in a hot and humid climate. when you are raising you are pushing yourself at a very high exercise intensity, damages rising rapidly, the body is producing more energy. that won't be replicated when you do your prerace training runs. john brewer there, professor of sports science. don't forget you can reach me on most of the team on social media. plenty more on the stories

we've covered on the bbc news website. thanks for watching. hello there. after a very soggy, blustery night, sunday morning will bring more wet and windy weather to some parts of the uk. this swirl of cloud on our earlier satellite picture, a developing area of low pressure, and it's been bringing cloud, outbreaks of rain there, gusty winds on the southern flank as the lows slides across the southern half of the uk, through sunday morning we will see further wind gusts, 40—50, maybe 60 mph in exposed spots. this little lump of showery rain here could well include some very squally and gusty winds as it slides its way eastwards. now as we go through the day ahead, parts of the midlands, east anglia, wales, down towards the south coast will see

we could have some problems with flooding. the further north you are across the uk, more dry weather and just the odd shower. london at 17, and on tuesday, that low pressure tunes its way is words, ran mostly for england and, since showers blowing into the north of scotland, some sunny spells here as for northern ireland, but attempt is really dipping away across the northern half of the country, 9— 12 degrees. and as we push that area of away into the near continent as we move into wednesday, follow the light lines, the isoba rs, move into wednesday, follow the light lines, the isobars, up to the north. that is where our air will be coming from, a plains of chilly air for the middle part of the week —— plunge. and for the end of the week there is a chance we could see more wet and windy weather.
