this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 5.00 — police in hong kong charge protesters with batons and use tear gas once again, a day after the government brought in emergency legislation banning the use of face masks. over the top, the police are over there. it is no violent confrontation, but this is the first sign of trying to disperse the crowd today. us media report that a second whistleblower has come forward in the impeachment case against donald trump. a man is arrested and a murder investigation is launched, after three men are found dead at a property in colchester in essex. borisjohnson urges the eu to show that it's willing to compromise with the uk on a brexit deal. the british rock drummer ginger baker — who was part of the band

cream with eric clapton — has died at the age of 80. and in the sport at 5.30, champions manchester city fall eight points behind in the title race after suffering a shock home defeat against wolves. good afternoon. tens of thousands of demonstrators have again taken to the streets in hong kong, defying a ban on wearing face masks, which has been imposed under a new emergency law. police used tear gas and charged with batons to try to break up the crowds. the protesters, who first took to the streets injune, are demanding greater democratic freedoms. our china corrspondent, robin brant reports.

standing and waiting, taking cover under umbrellas from the warm rain, almost all of them wearing a face mask. this was how the hong kong protesters showed their contempt for their government and its latest attempt to quell the protests with emergency measures that outlaw facemasks. some were even handing them out, "to stop people getting sick", one man told me. this was a sizeable turnout. tens and tens of thousands marching on the streets and shutting down major roads once again. as the police watched from on high, some made roadblocks. others prepared their weapons for a fight, and then... you need a facemask because the the police are firing tear gas to try and disperse this crowd. firing fairly indiscriminately over the top, the police over there,

and while there is no violent confrontation this is their first attempt to try and disperse the crowd today, it is definitely numbering in the tens of thousands. hong kong's leader carrie lam spoke of paralysis here yesterday, condemning the protesters once again. the facemask ban has done nothing to help lessen that. translation: carrie lam is trying to use the ban to keep us from coming out. i want to tell her that this is counter—productive. she's just targeting the symptoms, not the root causes. she's suppressing our right to express ourselves, and this will only push us further. the hong kong police now have even more powers to disperse arresters and various techniques at their disposal to push people back, but as night falls here, even more shops are closing early, fearing violent attack from the hardcore, who have targeted some businesses.

ho—fung hung is professor of political economy atjohns hopkins university. he joins us from baltimore. what do you think the imposition is of this emergency legislation? what has it done to the current situation in hong kong? as the protest yesterday showed, it has done little to stop people from wearing masks and protesting. and we see international examples like in ukraine and france, the mask than is actually counter—productive. more important is that the government now is getting around the legislative procedure to use emergency power to impose this law, and it is going to hurt the hong kong reputation of the rule of law. it is good to hurt the reputation of rule of law? so what do you make, then, of the way in which the protesters have just continued going out onto the

streets ? continued going out onto the streets? we have seen scenes of violence, there has been a lot of finger pointing. where do you think this is going to go? it is very unpredictable and volatile right now. the latest opinion poll published a few weeks ago shows that public opinion is still with the processed —— protest. people are pointing the finger at the police and the government for not resolving the situation, for example an imp independent investigation of police... so it is difficult to say where public opinion will turn, but the protesters and the government are both digging in, so the escalations of confrontation to continue. i suppose at the heart of this, for basing it, is that they retain that communist rule. —— for

beijing. how far will beijing go to ensure that the impose their will on hong kong? on the one hand, they will very much be careful to try to stop the spreading of protest from hong kong to other parts of china. but at the same time, the protest in hong kong is helping beijing to fan the idea among citizens in mainland china, the feeling that hong kong's process might be orchestrated by foreign powers. but i think beijing is still very restrained and relu cta nt to is still very restrained and reluctant to mobilise and crack on hong kong because hong kong's status is still very useful to be shown. but at the same time, the escalation of confrontation is still... people's confidence in hong kong's financial status is on the line right now. are there any inroads

towards dialogue? carrie lam, the chief executive of hong kong, tried to do chief executive of hong kong, tried todoa chief executive of hong kong, tried to do a dialogue town hall meeting. but it is not well received because she isjust but it is not well received because she is just reiterating the government position, and in a televised dialogue, many people are against the use of emergency power and the facemask ban, but she does it anyway. so people do not think she is sincere, and that is demand foran she is sincere, and that is demand for an independent investigation. but it seems that carrie lam is still very against this. so i do not think people will be serious or see her effort for dialogue as serious. but hong kong is a strong tradition of protest. this emergency

legislation harks back to a previous protest. will they ever be cowed by this? what could beijing ever possibly do to resolve it because ba na na possibly do to resolve it because banana it is a very difficult position for basing right now. they crack down harder with direct intervention. there will be an international backlash, and money will move to singapore and london. —— a difficult position for beijing. but they cannot let it go on forever, so a relatively wise thing is to make carrie lam leave and replace that somebody else, and start fresh, but i don't think that is on the table right now. but i think it would be a wise thing for them to do. thank you very much for your time. thank you, bye. us media is reporting that a second whistleblower has emerged in the controversy

about president trump's conversations with his ukranian counterpart. mr trump has already been accused of asking the ukranians to dig for dirt on his rivaljoe biden. there are also reports that us secretary of state mike pompeo has not yet come into compliance with a subpoena for documents in the impeachment investigation. let's speak to the bbc‘s chris buckler in washington. chris, the first development here is that we have a second whistle—blower. potentially damaging for president trump. yeah, what the us president said to his ukrainian counterpart is now the subject of two whistle—blower complaints, and it is claimed the latest intelligence official to come forward has first—hand knowledge of some of the matter is linked to that controversial phone call back in july. you might remember that in that phone call, mr trump did ask

volodymyr zelensky to launch an investigation into his political rival and potential presidential candidate joe biden. and rival and potential presidential candidatejoe biden. and it was specifically about these suggestions, could there have been some wrongdoing involving joe biden and his son hunter, who had some business dealings in the country. of course, mrtrump business dealings in the country. of course, mr trump has made some unsubstantiated allegations, but there is no evidence of wrongdoing against either of the bidens. one of the big questions is what happened next? that mr trump put pressure on the ukrainian president? there have been these questions of potentially talk about suspending security assistance the country. or was he dangling the possibility of a white house visit? all of those things are being investigated as part of impeachment enquiries. i suspect the democrats will want to know exactly what this new whistle—blower has said to the inspector general. he is the person who acts as watchdog for the person who acts as watchdog for the intelligence community in the

us, and we understand from this whistle—blower‘s lawyer that they have already given a deposition to that person. also new is that us secretary of state mike pompeo is not complying, what with? just explain for us. that is an ongoing battle between the trump administration and democrats in congress. as part of their impeachment enquiries, they have been requesting, and in some cases demanding with subpoena two, lots of information that they want. we saw i subpoena issued to the white house, and another issued through the state department to us secretary of state mike pompeo. as far as they are concerned, the passing they have been stonewalled by the trump administration but they want to get information, and at this stage, they are not getting it. it gives you the sense that this could turn into a legal battle as well as a political one. as they try to get documents that they say could show potential wrongdoing, but of course that is

very strongly denied by both the state department and the white house. chris, thank you very much. the french president has urged borisjohnson to engage in discussions swiftly with the eu's chief negotiator, during a phone call to discuss the prime minister's latest brexit proposals. earlier, mrjohnson urged the european union to, in his words, "grasp the opportunity" his brexit plan offers, insisting britain will leave the eu at the end of october. the brexit secretary, stephen barclay, has suggested that the government is willing to be flexible on the detail of its proposals. labour says the prime minister's current plan is not acceptable. here's our political correspondent, helen catt. if borisjohnson is to get a brexit deal done in time for the 31st of october, then talks need to turn into formal intensive negotiations within days. and so far, the eu has said the uk's proposals are not enough for it to agree to that. writing in two sunday papers,

the prime minister said the eu needs to move and grasp the opportunity that our new proposal provides... european leaders say they believe a deal can be done but mrjohnson needs to move too. one area of concern is the plan to keep northern ireland following eu rules on goods if a trade deal can't be reached that allows no border with ireland. the northern irish assembly would get to vote on whether or not to do it and then again every four years on keeping it. the brexit secretary has hinted at a possible further uk compromise there. obviously as part of the intense negotiations in the coming days, discuss that mechanism but the key issue is the principle of consent to any regulatory zone. the problem for borisjohnson is that if he changes what he set out too much, he risks losing the vital support he's gained from some groups within parliament. although labour is sceptical he could get through what he is

currently proposing in any case. he has got to move, he has got to compromise in the national and international interest if he's going to get our support. meanwhile, some ministers are privately discussing what may happen if borisjohnson cannot get a deal done. there have been discussions on how the uk could disrupt eu business if brexit is delayed, and reports that mrjohnson himself could refuse to leave downing street if opposition parties vote him out. but for now, the focus remains on getting a deal, what's clear is a breakthrough depends on someone budging. the question is, who? helen catt, bbc news. the former conservative cabinet minister stephen dorrell has joined the liberal democrats. mr dorrell, who served as health secretary injohn major's government, left the conservatives to join change uk earlier this year. writing in the times, he said liberal conservatives and social democrats should "break cover" from their respective parties

and join the liberal democrats in a "big tent". a man's been arrested on suspicion of murder after three men were found dead in colchester. police were called to an address on wellesley road yesterday evening, where they found two men dead inside the property, and the body of a third man in a car outside. a 32—year—old man from colchester has been arrested. a bbc radioi extra live music event in birmingham, was ended early last night, after a man was attacked with a knife backstage. the rapper krept suffered a slash wound before his performance. this morning, he tweeted a message thanking supporters and saying he is "good and will be back in no time". the bbc said it was saddened at what happened, and is offering its full support. four people have been killed and five others wounded in a shooting at a bar

in kansas city, officials have confirmed. further details about the motive and whereabouts of the gunman are still unclear. it comes just weeks after two separate shootings in texas, which left 44 people dead. inside, we located four hispanic males — one of them is late 50s, one iis mid—30s, and two are in their mid—20s — inside the bar, deceased. outside the bar, we had five other victims that all sustained gunshot wounds. they were all taken to area hospitals, all in stable conditions. i believe some of them have already been released. inside the club right now, just collecting evidence, we have done all our scans, we are trying to talk to as many witnesses as we can from the bar.

obviously being a bar at 1.30, stories varied a lot, even being inside the bar, so we are trying to out the truth from the may be exaggerated a little bit, and kind of go on from there. we do not have any specific suspect information yet that we can release. the headlines on bbc news — police in hong kong have used tear gas on protesters again. yes media is reporting a second whistle—blower has come forward in the impeachment case against donald trump. and a man is arrested in a murder investigation launched after three men are found dead at a property in colchester in essex.

at least five people have been killed, in a new round of clashes in the iraqi capital, baghdad — between anti—government protesters and police. the united nations has called for an end to the "senseless loss of life" — as the death toll from 5 days of violence nears 100. it's the deadliest unrest in iraq since the islamic state group was declared defeated in 2017. here's our middle east editor, jeremy bowen. the iraqi security forces are opening fire at demonstrators. that is why so many people have been killed. the use of deadly force as well as tear gas and other methods can only increase the anger of the mainly young people who have gone onto the streets to protest. the un in iraq has demanded an end to what it calls a senseless loss of life.

decades of war have inflicted tenable damage on iraq and its people. —— terrible damage. a quarter of the population lives on less tha n quarter of the population lives on less than two us dollars a day. this man says he has a masters degree, but the government would not even hire him as a street sweeper. all of these young people, he said, are treated unfairly. translation: the prime minister has so far offered little more than vague promises and an appeal for calm. little more than vague promises and an appealfor calm. he little more than vague promises and an appeal for calm. he said little more than vague promises and an appealfor calm. he said he little more than vague promises and an appeal for calm. he said he was speaking so the deterioration of the security situation would not lead to the destruction of the state. perhaps it is surprising that it has taken so long for demonstrators to go onto the streets. iraq has the world's fourth biggest oil reserves. it should be rich, but it is also one of the most corrupt countries in the world. another generation has

grown up the world. another generation has grown up in a state that cannot offer them much more than a very ha rd offer them much more than a very hard life. these demonstrations are born of desperation. the met office has issued an amber warning for heavy rain in the east of england, warning that disruption from flooding is likely. this was the scene on the a117 near honingham, west of norwich, a little earlier. rail operator greater anglia says trains are unable to run between norwich and lowestoft and norwich and great yarmouth due to flooding. assistant chief fire officer, greg preston from norfolk fire and rescue told me the force had been inundated from calls from people trapped inside their homes. since lunchtime, we have had over 200 flood —related calls, which have ranged from flooded properties to people being trapped in vehicles, and also flooding to roads. one of

the highways and with police, to get those roads clear, so it has been a very busy afternoon. leaving has mostly subsided across the county now, but we are still attending a number of calls. and i would urge viewers to be very cautious. there are some areas of roads that the rain is up to fourfeet are some areas of roads that the rain is up to four feet deep. when nightfall comes, it will be very difficult to gauge the level of water on the roads with the light levels, so just extreme caution on the roads, and if in any doubt, do not enter what if you're not sure how deep it is. obviously watching the weather forecast closely, how are you expecting the situation to develop going into the night time? it is moving across norfolk now. we are speaking to the environment agency, so from that, we will be gauging the weather patterns for the next few hours and making our plans around that. we are seeing pictures on the screen here of flooded roads.

quite incredible pictures. our people having to leave their homes? we have been quite fortunate in terms of property —related flooded. we have not had too many where we are looking at evacuation. we have managed to get in and support homeowners where we can. a lot of property —related flooding tends to subside after a while, the drainage ta kes subside after a while, the drainage takes hold and is able to move the water away. so it has not been too severe from that perspective. but just the sheer volume of calls we have had, it has been a real test this afternoon, but our crews have coped really well. they are out there supporting the community and supporting our partners as well. greg preston speaking to me earlier. roman catholic bishops have begun a three—week meeting at the vatican which will include discussions on whether to allow married men to be ordained as priests. pope francis led mass this morning to open the meeting where a decision to allow married men to become priests would break

centuries of tradition. john mcmanus reports. this is the fourth synod that pope francis will open since he was elected pontiff. unlike the others, it's set to be controversial. as well as the expected focus on the social and environmental challenges in the amazon, such as deforestation and mining, the 264 participants will also discuss whether the church should set aside its own rules on priestly celibacy and ordain older, married men. that would boost the church's presence in rural regions, where a shortage of clerics means priests often visit some communities only a few times a year. another idea is how to acknowledge and perhaps promote the often central role that women play in maintaining catholicism. but there is serious opposition to the synod among some senior catholics who fear this will dilute or change long—held teachings. the us cardinal raymond burke, who's emerged as the de facto leader of those forces within the vatican opposed to pope francis,

has called for fasting and prayer to combat what he termed theological errors and heresies. john mcmanus, bbc news. the rock drummer, ginger baker — who was a co—founder of cream — has died at the age of 80. the south—london born musician also played with blind faith, hawkwind, and fela kuti, in a long and varied career. a message on ginger‘s twitter account said he "passed away peacefully in hospital this morning". matt everitt, presenter of bbc 6 music and former drummer, told me earlier how ginger baker was an astonishing drummer whose health had been suffering for a while. it is tragic. we did expect this, ginger had been very ill of late and had suffered ill health for quite a long time. he'd had issues with quite a long—term heroin addiction that he never really quite,

in terms of health, overcome. it's sad but not entirely unexpected but a tragedy for the world of drumming nonetheless. he was described as a turbulent drummer! why's that? the two sides of ginger baker was this incredibly talented percussionist drummer, visionary in terms of the way he played the drums and then this very, very difficult human being, and the two things were interwoven. there will be many people mourning his loss as a musician and quite relieved not to have to work with him again, to be totally frank. his background, although he became famous initially through playing jazz with rock bands like cream but his two great legacies was the way he brought the attitude, the virtuosity, the improvisation on the nature ofjazz and brought it into rock music. no one had done that or done anything close,

with the skill that ginger managed to do. there was a free—form nature to his playing. there was a feel, a rhythm and a character that no one else really had. there is very few drummers could say that, keith moon, maybe ringo starr, nobody sounded like ginger at all. he brought the world ofjazz into the world of rock in this most flamboyant and incendiary way. he was a very, very difficult man, and cream had a very short life as a band, barely 18 months, and a lot of that was down to the fact that he was difficult to get on with, that's fair to say. that was one of his defining characteristics. there was a documentary made a few years ago called beware of mr baker and they had to go and find him and they found this pretty gnarly character, it is fair to say. what were his reflections on his fame, did he ever talk about that? he disregarded a lot of other

drummers as being not as good as him and in most cases, he was right. he had a grudging respect for musicians he played with, but didn't tell them a lot about it. the other interesting thing he did, if you are trying to find out more about his legacy, he was one of the first western musicians to go to africa, he went to lagos to play with musicians there, most famously fela kuti, a pioneering musician who was responsible for the afro beat movement. if you are into drums and rhythm, ginger thought go to the source, go to africa. he did some incredible recordings over there. he had a passion for that music. he also had a passion for polo horses, spent a lot of the money he earned on horses and got done out of a lot of money by some bad business moves and some bad agents across the years as well. maybe that also contributed to his slightly grumpy nature.

it's a lot to say that he didn't have a good word to say about anyone, that's not quite true, but you'd be hard pushed to find anyone he would enthuse about. most people will know him as co—founder of cream. how was that time in the band and his relationship with eric? him and eric, i think he once called eric clapton his best friend and they had a very turbulent relationship, with jack bruce from the band as well, they rubbed against each other enormously but then you had three, and this is the point, three exceptional musicians, each pulling in different directions, bringing these incredible ideas to the handful of records they did. sometimes talents, talent is about those characters. that's not excusing his behaviour as a difficult man to work with but he couldn't be contained within the confines of a band for very long. we should be lucky that he recorded the amazing records that he did. more than 500 hot air balloons have

taken to the skies of new mexico for the albuquerque international balloon fiesta. the beginning of this year's festival was delayed after thick fog caused event organisers to postpone the launch of hundreds of hot air balloons. thousands of people are expected to attend the event, which is the second largest of its kind in the world. now it's time for a look at the weather forecast. most of us have seen some rain over the last 2041 was, but in places, particularly eastern england, an awful lot. on the radar picture, this rain continues throughout a good part of the afternoon for east anglia. we have reports of flooding. the rain easing off over the coming hours, and then we have a brief drier interlude during tonight. but it does not last long. early on

monday morning, when returning from the west, winds strengthening, cool night in eastern areas but milder across the west as cloud and rain arrives. some brisk winds, up to 70 mph fora time arrives. some brisk winds, up to 70 mph for a time across the western isles of scotland. this wet weather pushes eastward through the day, clearing to leave a mix of sunshine and showers for the north—east of the uk. top temperature is between 11 and 16 celsius. the week ahead, staying in staying very unsettled. more heavy rain at times. some sunny spells, and often windy.

hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: police in hong kong charge protestors with batons and use tear gas once again — a day after the government brought in emergency legislation banning the use of face masks. us media report that a second whistleblower has come forward in the impeachment case

against donald trump. a man is arrested and a murder investigation is launched — after three men are found dead at a property in colchester in essex. borisjohnson urges the eu to show that it's willing to compromise with the uk on a brexit deal. the british rock drummerginger baker — who was part of the band cream with eric clapton — has died at the age of 80. sport, and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. good evening. we haven't even reached the middle of october, so liverpool fans will not need reminding that there is still a long season ahead, but the premier league table makes very pleasant reading for them this evening. liverpool will take an eight—point lead into the international break after manchester city were beaten at home by wolves. the champions couldn't convert their possession into goals, despite numerous

chances, and wolves caught them on the counter attack twice late on. adama traore with both for the visitors. it was city's first defeat at home in any competititon for ten months. we were nervous. it was a bad day. we were nervous. it was a bad day. we were nervous. it was a bad day. we were not at their best. we tried and had chances to score but in general the game was not the way we wa nt to general the game was not the way we want to play and it was a bad day so the teams in the premier league it is tough and we lost the game. it is so difficult to play against manchester city. but the chances come eventually. the organisation, the way the players went about their tasks, always pressing. very good.

chelsea are up to fifth in the table after an impressive win at southampton. they won 4—1, with tammy abraham amongst the scorers again — it was his eighth of the season. adam wild watched the match for us. there is a growing feeling that frank lampard's chelsea are finding their feet. the youngsters frank lampard's chelsea are finding theirfeet. the youngsters it frank lampard's chelsea are finding their feet. the youngsters it seems beginning to discover their rhythm. none perhaps more so than abraham, called up by england this week the cup, club and country and carrying high hopes and lofty ambition. chelsea in front at southampton. frank lampard's faith in youth rewarded, as it was again moments later. doubling the blues' lead. southampton struggling but things we re southampton struggling but things were about to get better. somehow pulling a goal back and offering optimism. that misguided. soon re—routed, much like this effort

from one of chelsea's older members, scoring the third before half—time. it took until the closing moments to make absolutely certain. proving that this is a chelsea side that has found its rhythm. the goals came at the right time to get ourselves in front and after that i felt pretty comfortable. we we re that i felt pretty comfortable. we were a little bit sloppy for their goal but the way we saw the game out we we re goal but the way we saw the game out we were not under too much danger to many times and we got four goals away from home. we are scoring. a nice afternoon. arsenal are up to third. they beat bournemouth 1—0 at the emirates. david luiz scored the only goal of the game in the ninth minute. arsenal missed chances to extend their lead, and came close to conceding an equaliser in injury time, but they held on and are now only one point behind second place manchester city. i was happy because we understood

some time we have to defend, sometime we have to suffer to try to win the game and that is what we did. we love to play the ball with possession and create opportunity but also we need to love first to win and that is what we did in the second half. so, here are all the day's premier league scores. there is one match taking place at the moment. they are into the second half at st james' park and it's currently goalless between newcastle and manchester united. a big upset in scotland, where livingstone have beaten celtic for the first time in the club's history. the champions had a man sent off inside half an hour and ended up losing 2—0. it was celtic‘s first league defeat of the season. michael redford reports. having dropped points for the first time this season last weekend, celtic headed to livingston looking for a response. where better to get it than at the side who had lost four successive league games? but if celtic thought

this would be easy they should have thought again. even lawler giving them an early warning sign. celtic‘s task was made harder later. ryan christie shown a straight red card. celtic having to play 70 minutes with ten men. the champions held on until half—time, but not for much longer. scott robinson with his first goal of the season two minutes after the restart. livingston's second goal was much easier. this long ball and a clever lob from lyndon dykes. celtic in need of a quick response. they didn't get it. the first league defeat of the season for the champions and the first time they have ever lost to livingston. and compounding the misery for celtic is the sight of the table, which shows that they have been knocked off top spot by rangers, who thumped hamilton 5—0 at home this afternoon. france have joined england in the quarter—finals of the rugby world cup. but onlyjust, edging out tonga 23—21 in kumamoto this morning.

after france scored two early tries — alivereti raka with this one — they were looking comfortable but, with seconds left, tonga made them sweat when zane kapeli touched down in the corner and it was converted. but time ran out, and france will play england on saturday to decide who wins their pool. in one of the least surprising results of the tournament, new zealand swept aside namibia to all but guarantee their progress into the knockout stage. the all blacks ran in 11 tries. tj perenara with the try of the game — one of the tries of the tournament so far — he started it and finished it. 71—9 it finished. new zealand's final group match is aganist italy next saturday. first half probably didn't turn up with the right attitude and then allowed namibia to partake a lot more than they should have. that isn't being disrespectful to namibia but we sorted it out at half—time and came back with a bit more direction

and understanding of what we wanted to do. as for the try at the end, it was a special one. it even got me out of my seat. not too many things do that. frankie dettori and enable missed out on a record third win in europe's richest race, the prix de l‘arc de triomphe. the hot favourite and winner for the last two years was clear in the final stages at longchamp but was just pipped on the line by pierre—charles boudot riding waldgeist — that's a record eighth win in the arc for trainer andre fabre. spain's marc marquez has won the world motogp title for the sixth time, after an extremely narrow victory at the thai grand prix. the win was sealed on the final corner when he just managed to hold off the challenge of fabio quartararo. it was the perfect end to a tough week for marquez. he was taken to hospital after a crash in practice on friday and he crashed again in qualifying, but it all came right today

and he takes the title for the fourth time in a row, with four races to spare. oit tanak has won wales rally gb for the first time in his career. the estonian finished in style, winning the final stage to take the rally by ten seconds from reigning champion sebastien ogier. britain's kris meeke finished fourth overall. tanak now leads ogier in the drivers' championship by 28 points with just two rounds to go. novak djokovic has given the clearest indication yet that he has returned to form and fitness at the end of the year. he's won his first tournament back since pulling out of the us open last month with a shoulder injury, beating john millman in straight sets in the final of the japan open. it took him just 70 minutes, he only lost five games — and he didn't drop a set all week. it was a fantastic week in every sense. i felt great on the court, felt really welcome by the japanese

people off of the court as well. they made me feel like at home. did not drop a set, played great, just overall great experience. andy murray will continue his return to the sport this week. he's playing in the shanghai masters — an event he's won three times — and will be buoyed by reaching the quarter—finals of the china open last week. he's still cautious, but the mood is positive. until a few weeks ago, maybe a month ago, ididn't until a few weeks ago, maybe a month ago, i didn't know how competitive i would be at the top level and since i got here i feel like in the matches i have played i have been competitive against all of the players i have played against was done i have played top ten, top 20, top 30 player, not won all of the matches but feel like i have done pretty well, so hopefully next month 01’ pretty well, so hopefully next month or two months i can keep a little bit. we will see.

it's the final day of the world athletics championships in doha, and the action is well underway. let's take you live to the stadium. the men's 1500 the men's1500 metres hasjust started in the last few seconds. there is live coverage over on bbc two. three british men in that final. i will have news of that and plenty more in the world championships including the four by 400 metre relay later today. that's all the sport for now. more now on our top story. tens of thousands of demonstrators have again taken to the streets in hong kong, defying a ban on wearing face masks. the ban was enacted when the government activated sweeping colonial—era powers, known as the emergency regulations ordinance. a little earlier i spoke to professor steve tsang, director of the china institute at the school of oriental and african studies, who explained why the invoking

of the emergency regulations ordinance is so signifcant. it is about the escalation on the part of the authorities in hong kong. it will enable the chief executive in counsel to exercise a very wide range of power, the kind of power that will be available to countries in looking to a state of emergency. hong kong will not need a state of emergency to do so. it means they can arrest thousands of people and be putting them away for a long time. have these arrests started yet because we were expecting to see widespread arrests taking place? why do you think carrie lam and the security forces held back? i think they are trying to use the facemask ban partly to distract attention from the unlocking of the emergency ordinance and also to put people off

to coming out demonstrating. in the short term it will have the exact opposite and get more people coming out to demonstrate. but over the long term, whether this would deter people, it remains to be seen. we have seen more people come out, haven't we? as soon as the ban was announced, they were on the streets. i am keen to get your impression and what you think is beijing's strategy, the long game they are playing here? i think what beijing tries to do is really put an end to the protests in hong kong, whatever ways they can, except looking for a political solution. as the hammer and seeing everything as the nail and the hammer of repression so we are seeing that being done. but i don't think they actually want to go all the way down that

road which will eventually involve the deployment of chinese security forces to hong kong. but we are getting one step closer to that direction. yes, this is the pla we are talking about, why is everybody not wanting them getting involved ? they would have the people's armed police rather than the people's liberation army. the people's liberation army is trained to kill whereas the normal police are trained to beat people up and suppress. this is something that people are worried about because of this image of the beijing massacre in 1989. i don't think they will get a repeat of that in hong kong, but the news of chinese security forces in hong kong will cause a basic change to the image

of hong kong and to the idea that hong kong is special from the rest of china. that myth will be broken by the deployment of the chinese security forces. professor, what do you make of the fact that carrie lam is still in charge of hong kong, what is beijing doing here? carrie lam is not really in charge in hong kong any longer, in any sense of the word. she is being kept in office by beijing because the chinese government cannot and will not appear weak to the demonstrators. therefore, they will not remove her under pressure from the protesters in hong kong. it is quite clear that by now carrie lam is really mostlyjust following orders from china. in a moment viewers on bbc one will

join us for a round up of the news with mishal husain but first... we know flying is bad for the environment — making up 2% of annual global carbon emissions. but what about all the rubbish we produce when we're in the air? plastic cutlery, cups, wrappers on blankets, headphones, food — they all make up six trillion tons of waste each year. a new exhibition at london's design museum is trying to find inventive ways to cut back on that — as katie prescott reports. this is a typical long—haul passenger's rubbish and one third of it is single—use plastic. it can't be recycled. we have the seaweed capsules here for items such as dressings or milk. one design firm thinks there is another way to travel, starting with the economy meal tray. each of the elements has different properties. we have looked at how we can use by—products to create items that were otherwise plastic. the meal tray itself is actually created from coffee grounds. we've looked at things such

as the lid for the dessert dish, which is made out of the waffle cone that you would have an ice cream in. while at the moment this might be too elaborate for the average economy flight, airlines are taking more immediate steps to cut down on rubbish. but with four billion passengers a year worldwide, it is no easy task. when all that waste arrives at the airport, there is a limit to how much of it can be recycled because of international regulations. here at heathrow, 90% of cabin waste is incinerated or sent to landfill and the airport wants governments to take a far more measured approach to that. with lots of that waste, we can't recycle as much as we would like to because it might have some food or liquid that is contaminating it. what we are keen to do is say, look, where a flight might be coming from america where they have quite strict standards on food and plant health, we should be able to recycle more of that waste that comes off the plane. heathrow could be the next to trial

a european union scheme that it hopes will change this. it is currently under way in madrid with spain's largestairline, iberia. until any changes are made, it is also up to us passengers to change our habits while on the go. katie prescott, bbc news.

the parents of a teenager killed in a road accident involving an american diplomat‘s wife make an emotional appeal for her to return to the uk. harry dunn was 19 when he was killed in the collision. his mother says she wants to speak to the driver involved — as one mum to another. i wouldn't want to think that she put herself on that plane to go home to avoid what she's done, because i couldn't live with myself. the us government has so far refused to lift the driver's diplomatic immunity. the other main news this evening — violent clashes take place in hong kong as tens of thousands of people take part in the latest protests. a call by borisjohnson for the eu to engage fully with his brexit proposals — with 11 days to go before a key summit.

# ooooh and ginger baker — groundbreaking rock drummer — has died at the age of 80. good evening. the parents of a teenage boy — harry dunn — who was killed in a road accident — have made an emotional appeal for an american woman to return to the uk to face justice. the woman, who's the wife of an american diplomat, was driving a car which collided with the 19—year—old's motorbike in august. she told police she would remain in the uk, then returned to the united states, and is claiming diplomatic immunity. the police have said they want to arrest and question her over the incident. duncan kennedy has been speaking

to harry dunn's parents. the death of harry dunn has created a profound sense of parental loss. tim and charlotte say their pain is deep. we can't grieve for him at the minute because we are just unaware of where we are going. harry died here when his motorbike was hit by a car. the car was driven by the wife ofan car. the car was driven by the wife of an american diplomat but she has now left the country. something harry's parents can't come to terms with. from mum to mum, knowing or believing that she is a mother, i wouldn't want to think that she put herself on that plane to go home to avoid what she's done. because i couldn't live with myself. if you couldn't live with myself. if you could meet her, what would you say to this woman, this mother? come back. we are not out to get her put behind bars, if that's what the

justice system ends up doing then we can't stop that, but we're not out to do that. we're out to try and get some peace for ourselves. the family hope to meet the foreign secretary to see if the british government can pressure the americans to finally act for this family. duncan kennedy, bbc news. tens of thousands of demonstrators have been on the streets of hong kong, in a day of violent clashes that's led to scores of arrests. priotestors defied a new law banning them from wearing face masks and aimed at ending the unrest that's gripped hong sincejune. our correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes reports. at what point does a protest movement become a rebellion? today in hong kong, it felt close to that edge. it is now illegal here to cover your face in public, but look at these people, determined

they will not be stopped from protesting or wearing masks. if carrie lam and her government were hoping that the new regulation banning the wearing of masks was going to stop people coming out on the streets, well, they've been proved wrong. even in this pouring rain, tens of thousands have come out again today. many, many of them wearing masks. it's a sign ofjust how little credibility and authority carrie lam and her government now have here. many protesters are now scared. they fear what is coming but say they cannot give up. look at the kids, honestly, look at them. they are very young and they are fighting for us. it is really for the entire hong kong and i think we should stand up and help, honestly. even though i know that maybe it's useless. after two hours, the police decided this illegal show of defiance had gone on long enough. the police are down behind this wall

inside the police station. they have started firing volleys of tear gas over the wall through these trees and down into the street. the tear gas barrage intensifies and the protesters now fall back in a chaotic retreat. the race is now on to get into the back streets before the police can catch them. but many are too slow. the police overrun them. among those arrested are two young women. they look like teenagers. as the police finally withdraw, the crowd cheers in victory. for now, at least, the streets again belonged to the people. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, in hong kong. the prime minister has urged the european union to, in his words, "grasp the opportunity" offered by his brexit proposals. talks are due to resume tomorrow but the eu summit at which any deal

would be approved is now only 11 days away. our political correspondent iain watson reports. deal or no deal, this is the week when that question may finally be answered. boris johnson is pushing brussels to open serious negotiations on his latest proposals and government ministers are warning time is short. we have set out very serious proposals, including compromise on our side, and we now need to see creativity and flexibility on the eu's side in order to reach that deal. under boris johnson's plan, after brexit the northern ireland assembly could decide whether to remain more step with some eu rules to ease cross—border trade or adopt any new uk rules instead. critics say this would give too much power to northern ireland's dup and the government seems open to a rethink. but i'm told there will be no modifications to the prime minister's plans. and in a phone call today, the french president

emanuel macron told boris johnson the eu would evaluate whether a deal was possible by the end of the week. the prime minister has a much better chance of getting a deal with brussels if he can convince eu leaders that he can get it through parliament. but borisjohnson doesn't have a majority in westminster, so he'd need at least some help from labour mps. and the party leadership are demanding that he makes much bigger compromises than he is currently contemplating if he wants labour support. he has got to move. he has got to compromise in the national and international interest if he is going to get our support. but what happens if borisjohnson doesn't get a deal? ministers have already been discussing how to disrupt eu business if he is forced into seeking a brexit extension but he seeking a brexit extension that he doesn't want. however, some european leaders are insisting the uk can still leave on good terms. it certainly is possible but it depends upon one crucial element.

that also mrjohnson, as well as the eu, are willing and ready to move on a compromise manner. if the offer from the uk turns out to be a sort of take it or leave it, it's going to be very difficult. the eu will tell borisjohnson within days whether a deal is possible, or whether he'll have to fight with his opponents at westminster to leave without one. iain watson, bbc news. a murder investigation has been launched after three men were found dead at an address in colchester in essex. police were called to the property last night following concerns for the welfare of two men. officers found two people dead inside — the third was discovered in a car outside. a 32—year—old man has been arrested. a second whistle—blower has come forward in the impeachment inquiry into president trump's conversations with the ukrainian president. one of the lawyers involved has been speaking to a us tv network. live now to our correspondent chris buckler in washington.

what do we know, chris, about the second individual? it is claimed this latest whistle—blower is a us intelligence official who has first—hand knowledge of that controversial conversation between the leaders of ukraine and the united states. you might remember that back injuly in a phone call donald trump asked volodymyr zelensky to launch an investigation into his potential presidential election rivaljoe biden and there are growing questions about whether there was an attempt to put pressure on ukraine either by dangling a visit to the white house or by threatening to suspend security assistant. that is strongly denied by mr trump and he says he was within his rights to launch a corruption investigation intojoe biden launch a corruption investigation into joe biden and launch a corruption investigation intojoe biden and his son hunter despite being no evidence of wrongdoing against them, although he continues to put unsubstantiated allegations forward. and in fact he has done so within the last few minutes again on twitter. the noise you might hear is another protest outside the white house that is

unrelated but democrats are making a lot of noise about their impeachment inquiries and their demand for documents and certainly they will wa nt to documents and certainly they will want to hear what this latest whistle—blower has had to say, they have already been speaking to the inspector general who acts the united nations is calling for an end to "senseless loss of life" in iraq — after days of anti government protests claimed more than 100 lives. iraqis have been demonstrating against corruption and high unemployment. security forces have been accused of using live ammunition against them. here's our middle east editor, jeremy bowen. it's mainly young men on the streets. at times the iraqi security forces have answered their protests with live bullets. that's why so many have been killed. deadly force can only increase the anger of the demonstrators. the clashes have prompted the un in iraq to demand an end to what it calls a
