welcome to newsday. i'm mariko oi in hong kong. the headlines: violence here escalates. a teenager becomes the first protester shot by police in four months of unrest. he is among dozens in hospital. here come the riot police. here come the water cannon. they are about to start clearing this street. this is only one of at least six different protests taking place here. meanwhile, in beijing, china celebrates 70 years of communist rule. xijinping says nothing can stop its onward march. i'm kasia madera in london. also in the programme: borisjohnson says he will make his brexit proposals public

on wednesday, but will they win over the doubters? isn't this just you putting forward similar proposals to what have been suggested, and turned down so many times before? well, let's see where we get to. taking on the tabloids — harry and meghan sue british newspaper the mail on sunday. good morning. it is midnight in london, and 7:00am here in hong kong, where the police have been defending the shooting an 18—year—old protestor in the chest. it is the first time in months of demonstrations that a protestor has been injured by live ammunition. police say the officer opened fire because he felt his life was under threat. in stark contrast, beijing

celebrated seven decades of communist party rule in china. more from our beijing correspondent john sudworth injust a moment. but first, rupert wingfield—hayes is in hong kong. this was hong kong's birthday present to china. they had been told to stay home, that any protest today would be illegal. any hope the protests would pass peacefully were quickly dashed. this was central hong kong this afternoon, and this the town of tsuen wan. police and protesters fighting running street battles. in the middle of one such battle, this happened. as a young protester tries to strike a policeman with a metal bar, the officer shoots at almost point—blank range.

the 18—year—old protester is expected to survive. but news of his shooting only increased the fury on the streets. we are not afraid. because, if they shoot, we will get angrier. we are not afraid of them. especially us, we have to stay in the front line to protect our people, to save hong kong and the future of hong kong. as night fell, the streets of hong kong began to burn. the protesters began targeting chinese state—owned banks with molotov cocktails. but, as police reinforcements arrived, the protesters decided it was time to retreat. so this is the middle of causeway bay on hong kong island. and you can see, here come the riot police, here come the water cannon, they're about to start clearing this street. this is only one of at least six

different protests that's taking place here. with the water cannon speeding after them, and the riot police close behind, the protesters fled into the back streets. and so began a game of cat—and—mouse. on a street corner, we found this group of angry local residents cursing the police. up above, they had a suspected protester cornered. as the police marched him away, the crowd screamed at them, "gangsters, we curse your whole family." this is how deep the divisions have now become here. this is now the new normal. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news in hong kong. john sudworth: it was a display of military might. and the very thing hong kong's protesters are railing against. unchallenged political power. china's 70—year economic rise

presented as a communist party victory, in communist party style. the president looking on as the adoring crowds carried his portrait. "no force can stop the chinese people," he said. but, while china's economic boom has been extraordinary, communist rule has also brought chaos, famine... huge fences all around it — look. ..and recently, the mass incarceration of muslims, in camps that china calls schools. all of these issues are heavily censored. translation: if the party controls everything, society is screwed up. the best way of celebration would be to review history and learn from it. even beijing's parade was for invited guests only, with the public kept at a distance.

hong kong's chief executive, carrie lam, was there, celebrating china's transition from impoverished neighbour to dominant power. it's an extraordinary, high—octane tribute to this country's rise to prosperity. but it is a narrative still under tight political control. i'm having to report on the parade from outside the cordon, one of a number ofjournalists denied access, it seems, because of official complaints about our reporting. in stark contrast to the chaos in hong kong, beijing partied into the night. the gulf between the two cities and the two systems as wide as ever. that report byjohn side with in beijing. and here in hong kong this morning, a lot of debate about live

ammunition after that 18—year—old protester was shot, whether or not the police officer's life was really under threat. and also, looking ahead to today, in just under two hours, some 100 people who were arrested on sunday and charged with rioting will appear in court, and processes have been asking each other to appear in court to show support stop —— protesters have been asking each other to appear in court to show support. . and we will be live a little later on the programme. let's bring you some breaking news. north korea has launched an unknown projectile from wonsan, in kangwon province, according to south korean military. it comes just a few hours after pyongyang's vice foreign minister, choe son—hui, announced that talks with the us would resume later this week. we will bring you more on this as we get it.

let's take a look at some of the day's other news: the democrats' impeachment investigation over president trump's phone call with the ukrainian president is gathering pace. on tuesday, the leaders of three us house of representative committees accused the secretary of state, mike pompeo, of intimidating witnesses. but the administration is pushing back. mr pompeo wrote in a tweet: "i'm concerned with aspects of the committee's request that can be understood only as an attempt to intimidate, bully, & treat improperly the distinguished professionals of the department of state." but, as our washington correspondent anthony zurcher explains, mike pompeo could have been obstructing evidence. whose bullying who? that seems to be the debate right now between pompeo

and the democrats in congress, and one of the things the democrats added was that mike pompeo himself was in on that call that donald trump had with the ukrainian president. so he himself is a material witness in this investigation, so the fact that he is telling them they can't talk to members of the state department, and that they need to get a subpoenae and they need to have state department lawyers there and they need to give them more time, all the things that pompeo outlined in his letter, that that essentially is interfering with this investigation. also making news today: rescuers are still looking for six missing people believed to be trapped when a bridge in taiwan collapsed onto a group of fishing boats moored underneath. dramatic cctv footage captured the moment the bridge came crashing down in nanfangao, on taiwan's east coast. the reason for the collapse is not yet clear. museum officials in cairo have welcomed the return of a 2,000—year—old golden coffin of a priest. it had been stolen and smuggled out of egypt in 2011,

but the gilded sarcophagus was discovered in new york's metropolitan museum of art. the met has apologised, saying it was given fake documentation for it, and had not realised it was taking part in an illegal deal. the elusive graffiti artist banksy has revealed that he has opened a homeware store in south london following a legal dispute with a greetings card company. his aim is to try to prevent the firm from acquiring the trademark to his art. the shop features items such as the stab—proof vest he designed for stormzy‘s headline act at the glastonbury festival. britain's prime minister, borisjohnson, says that on wednesday he will reveal the details of what the uk government has called its final plan to break the brexit deadlock with the european union.

government officials warned they will not negotiate further if the eu rejects mrjohnson‘s offer. the prime minister is insisting that britain will leave the european union, with or without a deal, by the end of this month. but the question of what to do about the border between northern ireland and the republic remains unresolved. speaking to the bbc‘s political editor laura kuenssberg, the prime minister said that his plan would include some minimal customs checks. under the proposals that you are about to take to brussels, they would be extra checks on the island of ireland. how and where? would be extra checks on the island of ireland. how and where7m would be extra checks on the island of ireland. how and where? if the eu is going to insist on customs checks as we come out, as it is, then we will have to accept that reality. and there will have to be a system for customs checks away from the border. now, we think that those checks can

be absolutely minimal and nonintrusive, and won't involve new infrastructure. but that is, absolutely, laura, that is where the argument is going to be. that is where the negotiation will be really tough. but to be really clear about that, it wouldn't be the eu insisting on checks having somewhere. if we are in two different economic systems, of course there would have to be checks. and they that seems to be, the idea of that seems to be, toxic toa the idea of that seems to be, toxic to a lot of people. so isn't this just you putting forward similar proposals to what had been suggested and turned down so many times before? well, let's see where we get to, and as you know, we've made some very constructive and far—reaching proposals. if there isn't a deal, whose fault will it be? well, i'm — i don't want to get into a blame game, but i think that the uk has really moved a long, long way. you really believe that what you're about to put on the table could win the eu round? you really believe that? i do, yes. i absolutely do, yes. and i would urge you,

laura, to keep hope alive, and not to... prime minister, this is not about people feeling hopeful. this is about whether or not the government can come up with a deal with the european union to protect the economy, to protect people's jobs and livelihoods. yes. this is not about telling people to cheer up. no. this couldn't be more serious. i know, but it's also a question of getting brexit done by 31 october, and doing it in a way that protects the unity and integrity of the united kingdom. and we are entitled to protect our customs union, and we're entitled to exit as a sovereign state. and we can do it in such a way as to preserve the, as i said, all those benefits that ireland has. yesterday you denied that you touched a woman inappropriately at a lunch. she said you did. is she lying? look, i don't want to minimise the importance of this issue, or people's concerns about this kind of thing, but in this case, it is simply not true. so she is lying. look, i'm not going to go into whatever... when people make these kinds of allegations,

they must always be taken very, very seriously, but in this case, it is not true. do you remember the event in question? there is not much more i can say. there is not much more i can say. there is not much more i can say. there is not much more i can say. also, some people would think in this kind of situation there should be some kind of investigation. question should be asked. should people try to find out what happened ? asked. should people try to find out what happened? because we have a com pletely what happened? because we have a completely he says, she says situation here. well, i can tell you it is not true. joining me now here in the studio is katherine forster from the sunday times. we have been looking at the revelations in various papers about what we can expect to hear from borisjohnson when he speaks to the tory party conference. when it comes to what we expect, this new plan, this radical new plan, is it? what are we talking about? two orders as my reading into it. yes, there's a lot of take it or leave it, this is oui’ lot of take it or leave it, this is our final offer. the telegraph goes into a lot of detail, and basically

what boris johnson into a lot of detail, and basically what borisjohnson is proposing is effectively two borders for four yea rs, after effectively two borders for four years, after which northern ireland assembly, if its setting, would make assembly, if its setting, would make a decision which way to align themselves. because it hasn't been sitting for two years now. exactly, exactly, so fundamentally, northern ireland and the rest of britain would leave the customs union, and therefore we would have some checks on the island of ireland, away from the border, presumably. but also, northern ireland would remain largely within the eu single market, and they are proposing a common area for all of ireland, agri— food and manufactured goods as well. that would necessitate checks around the irish sea. now, of course, the eu has said under no circumstances will we have checks on the island of ireland. the dup have always said

under no circumstances will we have checks down the irish sea. this is potentially bringing in both. so i struggled to see how this is going to fly. and indeed, tonight ireland's foreign minister is already saying, from what we have heard, they haven't seen the proposals in detail yet, from what they have heard, it doesn't seem like the basis for an agreement. and i think there is a lot of positioning going on now. boris johnson wants to be able to say i have made an offer, i have come up with something new. if the eu turn it down, as i would expect they will, that is their fault, that is their intransigence. and the thing is, ultimately, we won't be leaving on 31 october with no deal, almost certainly, because the benn act has entered out, so i am what incentive the eu have to try and make this work. and the prime minister insist he will not be asking for an extension. well, it is a mystery. and i guess it will become clear.

but, at the point that the eu doesn't agree to this deal, not to say is not possible, but they have said repeatedly, no, no, no pretty much what's been suggested here over and again, going back. does he resign and get somebody else to take the letter and trigger a general election? does he go through the courts? he might well try to go through the courts. this may well go back to the courts at the end of 0ctober. but i think the likelihood, and it is very dangerous to make any predictions, is that we will still be in the eu on one november. sorry to put you in that position. thank you so much for talking us through it. we are expecting that final deal described by borisjohnson to be announced a little bit later on on wednesday. you are watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: we will explain why the duke and duchess of sussex are taking legal action against a british newspaper.

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 newsday on the bbc. i'm kasia madera in london. mariko 0i is in hong kong. dozens of people needed hospital treatment, and police made hundreds of arrests, after protestors defied a ban and took to the streets of hong kong on tuesday. meanwhile, china has celebrated 70 years of communist party rule. president xi jinping says nothing can stop his country's onward march. welcome back to hong kong, where the police have been defending their action after shooting an 18—year—old protester. this was the first incident in which a protester has been injured by live ammunition, and not surprisingly, that is dominating the newspapers here in hong kong. let me start with apple's daily,

which has the picture of that exact moment where the police officer is pointing a gun at the protester and the fact is only 18 is in the headline. also, the paper talking about 180 arrest, which is the biggest number of arrest in one day. meanwhile, the south china morning post has a bit of a different take with the picture of that celebration in china, with the picture of president xijinping. i also in china, with the picture of president xi jinping. i also want to show you this paid advertisement wraparound which has the national anthem of the people's republic of china. yesterday as well the newspaper had a similar paid advertisement which had the congratulatory message to china and its 20th anniversary, a reminder that the south china morning post is owned by alibaba, a huge tech giant in china, founded byjack ma, a

known menace party member. it's not just the local papers, though, the new york times also has this big excerpt from the protest and talking about the first incident in which the protester was injured by live ammunition. a lot of discussion about whether that was really necessary , about whether that was really necessary, police of course have been saying defending their action, that the officer opened fire because he felt his life was under threat. but whether or not his life was indeed under threat has been discussed especially in social media as well, kasia. it's interesting to see the contrast between how the papers cover the events in hong kong and of course the celebrations in china. now, let's take a moment to pause from the events there and look at what he does it's of sussex is up to. —— duchess of sussex. the duchess of sussex,

meghan markle, has begun legal action against the mail on sunday over a claim it unlawfully published one of her private letters. in a statement, prince harry referred to what he called "relentless propaganda" against his wife. and said he wasn't prepared to see her victimised by the press as his mother was. the duke and duchess are on the last leg of their tour of southern africa. 0ur royal correspondent nicholas witchell is in johannesburg, he has more on this very strongly—worded statement by prince harry. it is remarkably outspoken. it is nothing less than a stinging attack on the british tabloid media. now, at the centre of this legal case is a letter written by the duchess to her estranged father, thomas, at his home in mexico, portions of which were quoted in the mail on sunday earlier this year. in his statement, the duke says that his wife has become one of the latest victims of the british tabloid media. he refers to a ruthless campaign that's escalated over the past year. he talks about the double standards of this specific press pack, which has vilified her almost daily for the past nine months.

he says that this amounts to bullying, and then he says this. "my greatest fear is of history repeating itself. now, i understand that both the queen and the prince of wales have been informed of this legal action. both the duke and duchess clearly feel very strongly about this. they feel that they have no option now but to take one of the country's most powerful newspaper groups to court. in a statement a short time ago, the mail on sunday has said that it stands by its story, and that it will be defending this case vigorously. so that was nicholas witchell with that report, and, kasia, as you can

imagine, we've been talking about this incident where an 18—year—old was shot with live ammunition. a lot of debate about whether that was necessary , of debate about whether that was necessary, so i'm sure we'll hear a lot more from the protesters as well as police and of course carrie lam, the city's chief executive who will be returning to the city after attending that celebration in beijing. and, mariko, a little bit later on, the people that have been arrested, we are expecting them to appear in court. briefly, i assume there could be tensions when they do appear in court? 100 people charged with rioting from sunday's gathering will be appearing in court. protesters have been calling each other, especially in social media, to show up at the court and the ——

show their support. it's one of the demands of the protesters are campaigning for, asking for more democracy in a peaceful manner which then turned violent, also the unconditional release of those who we re unconditional release of those who were arrested as well as universal suffrage. 0k, mariko, many thanks. this is of course a special edition of newsday where we have been focusing on the events taking place in hong kong also the celebrations in china marking the 70th anniversary of communist rule. when we we re anniversary of communist rule. when we were coming on our we had breaking news coming from north korea, let mejust remind breaking news coming from north korea, let me just remind you of that country has launched what is being described as an unknown projectile from one sign in can one province. this is of the market according to south korean military. —— wonsan province. it comesjust after announcements that thoughts of

the united states would resume this week. so we are expecting some reaction from the white house —— that talks would resume. we will bring you the reaction when we get it. good morning. we've all had our fair share of rain, haven't we, just recently? i'm sure you're well aware of the flooding rains but we have had through the north of england. but they have gradually drifted their way south and east over the last few hours and we are seeing a slow improvement. so the sharp, thundery downpours easing as well in the south—east, and they will continue to clear. so by dawn, temperatures are going to be the talking point, not the rain. and in fact, with the northerly wind kicking in, temperatures falling away quite sharply, so we're going to be greeted with some blue tones on our chart, temperate as close to freezing in places. so yes, a touch of frost first thing this morning,

it is going to be chilly start compared to as of late. so we start off on that chilly note but it will be a dry one with some lovely spells of sunshine coming through, probably the best day in terms of drier, sunnier weather through wednesday. at the same time, down to the south—west we could pick up a bit more fair weather cloud. those temperatures struggling after that chilly start, 11—15 degrees the high, down on where the weather should be for the early half of october. some blue tones but if we look out to the atlantic, around this circulation here, the winds coming from more of a southerly direction. and within this significant area of low pressure is an area of tropical moisture, so some warmth set to return. you are probably aware this has the remnants of ex—hurricane lorenzo

in it, and this is going to track to the west ireland and bring some rough seas and high tides. that moves in, and ahead of it we will see the cloud thickening and the winds strengthening to gale force gusts. this should be some brighter weather, but more sunshine coming to from time to time. and temperatures of similar values on thursday to wednesday, highs of 11— 16 degrees. but it is low pressure which is going to track its way steadily eased words in south during that thursday into friday, which will introduce slightly milder air, but it will bring a spell of wet and windy weather before that system slowly starts to ease as it pushes south. take care.

you are watching bbc world news. our top story: police in hong kong have fired live rounds as pro—democracy groups defied tuesday's ban on protests. 0ne teenager is in hospital after being hit in the chest. some protestors attacked police officers, and more than 180 arrests were made. meanwhile, china has celebrated the 70th anniversary of the communist party taking power. highlights included a huge military parade and firework display in beijing. president xi said nothing could stop china's onward march. and the moment a french comedian climbed onto a prestigious catwalk is doing well online. it is the moment a french comedian climbed onto the runway at the chanel fashion show in paris. she then paraded with the models before eventually being led away by supermodel gigi hadid.
