in china, there's been some of the worst violence in more than three months of anti—government unrest. there were running battles as protesters threw molotov cocktails, and the police fired round after round of tear gas and rubber bullets. let's go straight to the bbc‘s mariko 0i, who's in hong kong for us. as you said, the 17th weekend of protests which also mark the six anniversary which marked the umbrella movement which commanded free and fair elections but the demand of these pro—democracy protests are demand of these pro—democracy protests a re in demand of these pro—democracy protests are in direct contrast to the celebrations of 70 years of 1—party rule by the chinese commerce authorities. they're determined to spoil the party. with just two days to go before china's big anniversary,

hong kong is decidedly off message. while in beijing, rehearsals are in full swing for a celebration of 70 years of communist rule and a message of unity and strength, in hong kong there's division, uncertainty and fear. it's a faultline that cuts across class and generation. this 73 year—old is showing me the protective gear he wears when supporting the protesters. translation: for 70 years the ruling party has subdued its people. do you think we are in the mood to celebrate? this woman is in favour of chinese rule and says the protests are scaring off mainland chinese tourists. translation: i still have business but not as much as before.

i've lost at least a half of my revenues. with more protests planned on tuesday, the authorities are not taking chances. you can still taste the tear gas in the air. hong kong finds itself at the centre of a global clash of values — authoritarianism against freedom. 0n the streets of the city, china's vision of its future has run into a crisis of legitimacy. the chaos continued into the night. for some, it's a principled fight. for others, a doomed strategy that risks provoking an ever more powerful china to sweep this city's freedoms away for good. john sudworth, bbc news, hong kong. as you saw injohn's report, a lot

of violent clashes overnight and since the protest data, protesters have been complaining about police reality and excessive use of force. i will be speaking to a former superintendent in the hong kong police force to find out what his view is on how the police have been handling the situation later in the programme. we will come back to hong kong shortly. now for some of the day's other news: two of the very few people who have listened to covert recordings of the killing of saudi journalist, jamal khashoggi, have described the detail of what they heard. a year ago this week, the writer and critic of saudi arabia's government was murdered in the saudi consulate in istanbul. members of a un investigation team have told the bbc‘s panorama of the horror and shock of listening to his final moments.

a year ayearago, on a year ago, on the second of 0ctober, jamal khashoggi vanished after entering the consulate in istanbul. we only know what happened next because the consulate was bugged by turkish intelligence. you can hear them laughing, it is a sort of chilling business. they are waiting that knowing that this man is going to come in and he is going to be murdered. this british barrister is one of the few people who have listened to the recordings of the journalist's death. the horror of listening to somebody‘s boys and the fear in someone's voice makes a shiver go through your body. she was invited to join a team with the un special rapporteur who negotiated access to the crucial tapes. the recordings reveal what happened to the journalist inside the consulate. he says, am i being

kidnapped? how could this happen in the embassy. the sound that we here after that point indicate that he is suffocated, probably with a plastic bag. the report concluded that the saudi state was responsible for the murder. the saudi government declined to give an interview to panorama but said it condemned the abhorrent killing and it was committed to holding the perpetrators accountable. it said the crown prince had absolutely nothing to do with what it called a henious crime stop jane corbin, bbc news. for our viewers in the uk, panorama — the khashoggi murder tapes is on bbc one this monday at 8:30pm. if you're watching on world news — check out our website for transmission times in your area. also making news today: in austria the conservative people's party of the former chancellor, sebastian kurz,

as we have been saying, the 17th weekend of violent clashes overnight and over the weekend. what actually goes through the mind of police officers when confronted by protesters. joining me is a former superintendent in the hong kong police force. he served for over 20 yea rs police force. he served for over 20 years and left shortly after the umbrella movement protests which marked the fifth anniversary on saturday. thank you forjoining me. a lot of allegations of police brutality. what is your assessment of other police have been handling the situation? it has been very professional. i am a very neutral in the scenario and i think there is i’ooiti the scenario and i think there is room for improvement, for example i see police officers very determined to make arrests during the unlawful protests but i think, as a commander

ofa protests but i think, as a commander of a police force, they still need to manage the troops adrenaline stop they are getting a bit frustrated or overexcited and it has been quite a long scenario in hong kong and i have never encountered such before in hong kong and i think the troops mentality, psychologically, mentally need to be managed. what about the use of teargas, pepper spray, you have done the same? it very much depends on the situation and the scenarios we have seen in hong kong so scenarios we have seen in hong kong so far, i think the police decision of making use of teargas and plastic bullets, for example, ithink of making use of teargas and plastic bullets, for example, i think they are justified because they are not trying to hurt the protesters but trying to hurt the protesters but trying to hurt the protesters but trying to gain ground and the main objective is to disperse the crowds from the streets and restore normal operations of hong kong. they were

reports that a real bullet was shot yesterday? correct, that was a case that an undercover police officer within the group and the identity we re within the group and the identity were unfortunately reviewed and that the protesters started attacking the undercover police officers and without any choice, to protect his safety as well as other members of the public in the area, he fired one morning shot and nobody was hurt. can you see how the trust can be repealed? first of all, i think we need to settle the situation here in hong kong. it seems to be endless at the moment and there is no easy way out. when this situation is settled, i think there will be a review of police strategy, especially for the public relations strategy, to review

the trust between members of the public and the police. 0ne the trust between members of the public and the police. one important thing is having a separate individual enquiry for the whole scenario, notjust individual enquiry for the whole scenario, not just pointing individual enquiry for the whole scenario, notjust pointing to the police alone. we're looking at a scenario, situation of who were involved, either from the protesting side or from the government and police, so we can have a fair judgement. former superintendent in the police force in hong kong, thank you forjoining us. that independent enquiry is one of the demands of the protesters. we will have more coverage on the next newsday. the british prime minister, borisjohnson, says he's been "a model of restraint" when it comes to the language he's used in the brexit debate. it follows a week of bitter exchanges between mps, and accusations that his rhetoric

has been inflammatory. mrjohnson has refused to apologise for words such as "surrender", when describing the legislation designed to stop the uk leaving the european union without a deal. jonathan blake reports. you can't miss the message that conservatives want to hammer home here. "get brexit done," might be a single slow but simple slogan but the prime minister has arrived here with questions on how to argue his case. accusations that his language has got out of hand. he should be ashamed, say labour, but boris johnson says all sides need to pause for breath. allan well, i certainly think everybody should come down. -- well, i certainly think... i think i have been the model of restraint. my

use of the word humbug was in the context of people trying to present —— prevent me, us, from using the word "surrender". can you say sorry for the misunderstanding at least?|j can for the misunderstanding at least?” can certainly say sorry for the misunderstanding. never used -- words he used when he stepped foot in manchester, his message didn't change that brexit should happen in 0ctober, come what may and it is in the country's best interests will stop element i think the best thing for the country and the best thing for the country and the best thing for people ‘s overall psychological health would be to get brexit done. no detail on how even parliament has passed a law forcing him to ask for an extension if a deal can't be done. but would he step aside, allowing someone else to do that?” have undertaken to lead the party and my country at a difficult time and my country at a difficult time andi and my country at a difficult time and i am going to continue to do that. i believe it is my responsibility. and inside the conference hall, you wouldn't know

there was any attempt to delay brexit, key figures doubled down on their promise to leave at the end of 0ctober. their promise to leave at the end of october. if the eu spurned the opportunity for a win— win deal, we will leave by the end of october, no ifs, no buts. applause. and if we don't get a deal by october the sist, don't get a deal by october the 31st, we will have two leave without a deal. applause away from brexit, questions remain for the prime minister about his rent ship with the businesswoman jennifer and minister about his rent ship with the businesswomanjennifer and about whether she —— archuri. 0n about whether she —— archuri. 0n about whether he did anything wrong. did you declare interest? there was no interest to declare. for all the questions facing the prime minister, it is brexit which will drown out everything else. jonathan blake, bbc news, manchester. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: we speak to a former ukrainian prosecutor about impeachment hearings against donald trump, which could be held this week.

this is newsday on the bbc. i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore. i'm kasia madera in london. our top stories: there have been running battles on the steets of hong kong, as china prepares to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the communist state. un investigators speak for the first time of their ‘shock and horror‘ listening to murdered journalist jamal khashoggi's final moments at the saudi consulate in istanbul. let's take a look at some front pages from around the world. the south china morning post warns

that hong kong's restaurants are looking empty, as the protests there continue. the unrest has convinced more and more consumers to stay home. there's been a sharp increase in deliverys, but not enough to offset the overall decline. singapore's business times is getting the hebegebees over what they call the october effect. halloween month has gained a scary reputation for markets there — sparking fears of falling stock prices. luckily financial analysts say it's largely just folklore. and the japan times reports on the new star—ship — which could soon be going where no man, or woman, has gone before. the latest spacex rocket is aiming to take people to the moon, mars or anywhere else in the solar system. and they plan to start flying the prototypes soon. now, what stories are sparking

discussions online, kasia ? the duchess of sussex has caught people's attention. they royal met one of the founding members of south africa's anti—apartheid movement. social media is loving this story. the duchess having a very special meeting, she met one of the founding members of south africa's anti—apartheid movement. sophia williams—de bruyn led thousands of women on a march against racial segregation in 1956. meghan met her during an event to honour south africa's female leaders. she called it an incredibly powerful moment. democrats in the united states congress say impeachment hearings against donald trump could be held this week. the allegations centre on claims he put pressure on ukraine, to dig up dirt on a potential rival who's running

for the white house in 2020. jonah fisher reports from the capital, kiev. with an impeachment enquiry under way, president trump is on the attack, tweeting a new video about his possible opponent in next year's election. we've stepped up the official assistance to help backstop the ukrainian economy. this was four years ago in kiev. joe biden was vice president and the 0bama administration's go—to man on ukraine. at the same time, his son, hunter, had a well—paid job on the board of a ukrainian energy company. president trump has claimed, without supporting evidence, thatjoe biden got a ukrainian prosecutor called viktor shokin sacked because he was investigating hunter's company. today in kiev, the man who took over from mr shokin blew a big hole in president trump's story.

have you got any evidence that joe biden acted in anyway which supported hunter biden's company, burisma? it is not myjurisdiction. but have you got any? it is not myjurisdiction. i can't do nothing which is not connected with ukrainian law. so, under ukrainian law, you've got nothing? nothing, certainly. mr lutsenko has changed his tune. we spoke with mr giuliani, one, before new york, then three days in new york then one or two days. the former prosecutor general was earlier this year close to president trump's lawyer, rudy giuliani. the former new york mayor has taken a particular interest in ukraine, and both men talked up a biden investigation. let's play the clip, please. shown his one—time ally‘s interview with us, mr giuliani quickly declared the friendship over. mr lutsenko is exactly the prosecutor thatjoe biden put

in, in order to tank the case. mr lutsenko's about turn won't help president trump as he seeks to make this story aboutjoe biden and his son, rather than his own conduct. with an impeachment inquiry underway, it's likely we are going to be hearing a lot more about rudy giuliani and what he's been doing here in ukraine. jonah fisher, bbc news, kiev. here in the uk, a bbc investigation into licensed puppy farming in wales, has found widespread suffering and abuse of dogs, despite regular checks by vets and council inspectors. the year—long investigation found dogs in filthy and unfit conditions. wyre davies has this special report. west wales has been called the capital of puppy farming. it produces around 211,000 puppies annually. but in a year—long

investigation, we found appalling conditions in farm after farm, investigation, we found appalling conditions in farm afterfarm, all council approved businesses. dog—lover danielle foley bought her new puppy — a beagle she called winston — for £650 from a licensed puppy farm she found online. she but within days, winston had fallen seriously ill with parvovirus — a highly contagious disease that is often fatal. at two o'clock in the morning the vets rung my mum and said, "his organs, they're shutting down, it's just going to be a slow, painful death." "so can they make it quick, make it easy for him?" the breeder who sold winston told us he maintained excellent standards. even though inspection reports found problems with waste, poor record—keeping and the presence of parvo at his farm. yet it was still given a licence by the council.
