this is bbc news. i'm samantha simmonds. the headlines at eight. 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. 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. violent clashes in hong kong — as tens of thousands of protestors defy emergency laws banning face masks. a call by borisjohnson for the eu to engage fully with his brexit proposals — with 11 days to go before a key summit. ginger baker — groundbreaking rock drummer — has died at the age of 80.

champions, manchester city, fall eight points behind in the title race after suffering a shock home defeat against wolves. and in inside out in half an hour, tracy gee speaks to firefighters who believe theirjob caused them to have cancer. 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 cannot 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 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 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 is what the justice system ends up doing, then we can't stop that, but we are not out to do that. we are 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. protestors defied a new law banning them from wearing face masks and aimed at ending the unrest that's gripped hong sincejune. rupert wingfield—hayes reports. we are not out to get her put behind bars. at what point does a protest movement become a rebellion? today in hong kong, it felt close to that edgge. it is now illegal here

to cover yourface 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 the new regulation banning the wearing of masks was going to stop people coming out on the streets, they have been proved wrong. even in this pouring rain, tens of thousands have come out again today. many of them are wearing masks. it is 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 them. they are very young, and they are fighting for us. it is really for the whole of hong kong. and i think we should really stand up and help, honestly. i know that maybe it is useless. after two hours, the police decided this illegal show of defiance had gone on long enough.

the police are down behind this wall here inside the police station. they have started firing volleys of tear gas over the wall through these trees, and down into the streets. the tear gas barrage intensifies, and the protesters 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, and 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 belong to the people. evan fowler is the co—director of the hong kong free press.

thanks for being with us. another weekend of violent demonstrations in hong kong. is the ban on wearing facemasks, does that mark a serious escalation? i think it marks an escalation? i think it marks an escalation because clearly, as your images are showing demonstrate, and escalation in the reaction from the protesters but also a serious escalation on behalf of the hong kong government. deciding to enact colonial aero legislation, dating back to the 1920s. something the colonial government wanted to get riddle. something that has been condemned internationally and has been put under pressure to withdraw. the fact that the government is resorting to an ordinance that they know is extremely sensitive is a

major step. wasn't it inevitable that the authorities would up the anti at some point? they have come in their view, endured months of protests a nd in their view, endured months of protests and they would argue that they have taken a back—seat and allowed many demonstrators to turn increasingly violent and destroy a lot of property and make people fear to go onto the streets. as carrie lam said, she must protect hong kong. well, it would be a lot easier to a cce pt kong. well, it would be a lot easier to accept that if we had the feeling that the authorities were attempting to calm the situation down and were attempting to deal with violent protesters. if someone has made the decision to essentially be violent and to escalate, whether they are wearing a mask or not isn't actually going to have a huge difference. by banning people from wearing the mask

what you're essentially doing is putting pressure on people who choose to go out and protest peacefully. you aren't really dealing with the people who are coming to be frank, acting like hooligans. you seem to be trying essentially to intimidate people who wa nt to essentially to intimidate people who want to go out and say, you know, we believe in this, we believe there are justifiable concerns, even though they aren't people who go out and commit violent acts. as we've seen over the last weekend, despite the fact that thousands of people turned out on the streets wearing facemasks, despite the ban, and authorities have stood by in many cases, apart from when they turn violent. what should the authorities be doing to calm the situation down? for me, the most frustrating thing is, honestly i don't think it's that

difficult to de—escalates. if you wa nt to difficult to de—escalates. if you want to de—escalate, you've got to acknowledge what the problem is. these protests, and notjust the violence, but all protests, are about the political issue. it's about the political issue. it's about the political issue. it's about the people's relationship with their own government, which they feel has broken, and about hong kong's relationship with china, a very different china to that of ten yea rs very different china to that of ten years ago and very different to china in 1997. what the government should be doing is coming out and saying, we realise there is a political issue, based on political concerns, and try and resolve this by acknowledging the problem. what carrie lam has done instead, she has said, i understand there are social issues that we must deal with, without mentioning at all the fact that these protests are about a political problem. they backed down

on the expedition law that sparked this in the first place, didn't they? we spoke to some protesters who said that it is probably useless to be demonstrating but what else can they do? do you think it is useless? will they make any difference? honestly i don't. i think this is the great tragedy. what we're seeing now, a lot of the violence is actually not really done in the name of protesters as such. it may be done in the name of democracy but what's driving it is emotion. it's the fact that you have people who have been out there all summer people who have been out there all summer who started off, many of them, protesting peacefully, who have had very little response from the government... tojust have had very little response from the government... to just withdraw the government... to just withdraw the bill. the protests have moved on. people have been hurt and there doesn't seem to be any attempt by

the government to acknowledge the fa ct the government to acknowledge the fact that people are emotionally hurt. thanks forjoining us. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10.30 and 11.30 this evening in the papers. our guests joining me tonight are the broadcaster lynn faulds—wood, and the independent‘s deputy political editor, rob merrick. 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. 0ur political correspondent iain watson reports. deal or no deal? this is a week when that question may finally be answered. borisjohnson 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 side in order to reach that deal. under boris johnson's plan, after brexit, the northern ireland assembly could decide whether to remain more in 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 am told that will be no major modifications to the prime minister's plan. and in a phone call today, french president emmanuel macron told borisjohnson 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 does not have a majority at westminster, so he would 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 does not get a deal? ministers have already been discussing how to disrupt eu business if he is forced into seeking a brexit extension that he does not 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, and whether he will have to fight with his opponents at westminster to leave without one.

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 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 bus driver in sheffield has been stabbed. the ao—year—old man was taken to hospital but has since been discharged. the incident happened near the crucible theatre at just after 2 o'clock this afternoon. a spokesman for the bus company described it as a serious attack, and they were working closely with the police. a 17—year—old boy has been arrested

on suspicion of attempted murder. 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. earlier our washington correspondent chris buckler told us what we know about this second whitsleblower. the second whistle—blower is a us intelligence official who apparently had first—hand knowledge of this controversial conversation that took place between resident trump and president zelensky of the ukraine. president zelensky of the ukraine. president trump asked zelensky to log and investigation intojoe biden and his son, hunter, into their business dealings in the country. but beyond that we don't know an awful lot about this. at this stage

we understand that he has spoken to the inspector general who acts as a watchdog for the intelligence community in the us. what's going to be very important is not who the whistle—blower is, but exactly what they have to say. tell us more about secretary of state mike pompeo and these reports that he isn't complying with the subpoena. what does that mean? basically democrats are pushing for a range of different information as part of their impeachment enquiries. the democrats believe that already they have information against president trump because they have the transcript that shows he asked for an investigation. they say that shows he was asking a foreign government to interfere in the us election which they say is illegal and impeachable. the president's argument is that it was far from the case, he was asking for an investigation into corruption, his right as the us president. he has no

evidence of wrongdoing by either of the bidens and he continues to make more unsubstantiated allegations and has done so recently on twitter. at the same time, democrats believe there is more. as a result they're asking the white house and state department for lots of documents and haveissued department for lots of documents and have issued some subpoenas. at the heart of this is an attempt to get anything that would show there was pressure put on the ukraine. there have been suggestions that the white house may have dangled a visit to the white house, some kind of summit between the presidents or alternatively it may be that they would suspend security assistance to force the investigation to take place. that strongly denied by the white house but the democrats want to see the documents about any discussions. until this point they say they've been stonewalled by mike pompeo and it the state department

and the white house but they are addressing these documents —— they are aggressively attempting to obtain these documents. the headlines on 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. violent clashes in hong kong as tens of thousands of protestors defy emergency laws banning face masks. a call by borisjohnson for the eu to engage fully with his brexit proposals with 11 days to go before a key summit. sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's james pearce. good evening. it's been a very bad day for the champions of both england and scotland. i'll have news of celtic‘s first league defeat of the season shortly, but in the premier league manchester city were beaten 2—0 at home by wolves. city 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 10 months. we were nervous. it was a bad day. we were not at our best. they counter—attacked so fast. we tried and had chances to score. it was a bad day. with teams in the premier league it's always tough and we lost the game. a bad day at the office for manchester city, but it's looking much more serious than that for their rivals on the other side of manchester. it goes from bad to worse for manchester united. they were beaten away — again. matty longstaff scored

on his premier league debut to give newcastle united a 1—0 win at st james' park. craig templeton reports. a warm welcome but these are two men feeling the heat. man united are without an away win since march while newcastle were awaiting their first home win of the season. newcastle seemed more keen to stop the slump and perhaps should have done better. the next half an hour mirrored both teams's seasons, short on quality but that was broken by matty longstaff‘s superb strike. david de gea was beaten but the cross bar david de gea was beaten but the crossbar wasn't. united haven't scored a set piece in over 200 days. there can't have been many better chance in that time than harry maguire's. matty longstaff showed his not afraid to shoot from distance which led to a moment he'll never forget, distance which led to a moment he'll neverforget, a goal on his premier league debut. united threw everyone up league debut. united threw everyone up to get the equaliser but it wasn't to be. the heat on 0le gunnar

solskjaer is sure to intensify but what a day for the longstaff family. two other premier league games to tell you about. chelsea are up to fifth in the table after an impressive 4—1win at southampton, while a david luiz goal was enough for arsenal to beat bournemouth at the emirates. in the scottish premiership, a hat—trick from jermaine defoe helped rangers thrash hamilton 5—0 and move them to the top of the table. celtic drop down to second, beaten 2—0 at livingston. after celtic‘s ryan christie had been sent off in the first half, livingstone scored two second half goals. lyndon dykes with the second. it's a first league defeat of the season for celtic and it's the first time they've ever lost to livingston. there has been one more medalfor gb on the final day of the world athletics championships in doha. the women's 4x400 metres relay team crossed the line in fourth place, but were promoted to bronze when the jamaicans were disqualified. but disappointment for britain's men, who didn't even

finish their 4x400 metres relay, failing to pass on the baton. that was won by the usa, who comfortably topped the medals table. great britain finished sixth overall with two golds and three silver medals and one bronze. dina asher—smith playing the biggest role with a gold in the 200 metres and silvers in the 100 metres and the 4x100 metres relay. she collected that relay medal in the stadium this evening. 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. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website, including details of a sixth motogp title for marc marquez

after the spaniard won in thailand. the united nations is calling for an end to "senseless loss of life" in iraq, after days of unrest claimed more than 100 lives and 6,000 others have been wounded. iraqis have been demonstrating against corruption and high unemployment. today at least five people have been killed in clashes between anti—government protesters and police in eastern baghad. iraq has denied its security forces have been firing directly at demonstrators. 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 senseless loss of life. security forces have been deployed by the prime minister who has also appealed for calm.

if the security situation worsens, he warns the risk is the destruction of the state. these protests haven't come out of nowhere. their roots lie in the terrible damage inflicted on iraq and its people by decades of war and the failure of politicians to unite and rebuild a fragile country. a big force driving them to demonstrate is unemployment. even those with jobs are struggling. almost a quarter of the population lives on less than $2 us per day according to the world bank. this man says he has a masters degree but the government wouldn't even hire him, he says, as a street sweeper. all these young people, he complained, are treated unfairly. frustration feeds their anger. 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 in a state that can't offer them much more than a very hard life. these demonstrations are born of desperation. the rock drummer ginger baker — a founder member of the band cream — has died at the age of 80. alongside eric clapton and jack bruce, cream sold millions of albums in the 1960s. ginger baker was known for his groundbreaking drumming technique, his showmanship and his flaming red hair which sparked the nickname ginger. david sillito looks back at his life. drum solo it was in 1966 that ginger baker decided he wanted his own band. cream with eric clapton and jack bruce was described as a supergroup. and his freewheeling jazz inspired improvisations marked him out as one

of the great rock drummers. i play to what i hear and it's all that's happening all the time, which is why it's never the same. born in lewisham in south london, he'd started out playing jazz. and there were many bands over the years because he was not always easy company. the director who made a documentary about his life ended up with a broken nose. nevertheless, his work with african artists at his lagos studio, his melding ofjazz and rock, he was a pioneer. it was a turbulent life of drugs, feuds and a love of polo. but behind the drums he was one of the greats. ginger baker who has died at the age of 80.

tributes have been pouring in for ginger baker from the great and the good of the rock world. heavy rain has hit the east of england, leading to flooding across norfolk. this was the scene on the a117 near honingham, west of norwich, a little earlier. trains between norwich and lowestoft and norwich and great yarmouth are now running after flooding earlier closed the line. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. good evening.

most of us have seen wet weather at one point or another this weekend but for some, the weather has been relentless and caused some problems, especially in eastern england. that was the scene for a weather watcher earlier on in norfolk. this is the radar picture from earlier. you can see how the rain piled its way in over parts of norfolk and suffolk in particular. the rain now starting to fizzle away and clear south—eastwards, so we have a drier interlude to come through the rest of tonight. some clear spells overhead. it may turn a bit misty in places. the drier interlude won't last long because we've got more rain pushing in from the west by the end of the night and increasing strong wind. with the cloud and rain and wind it will be fairly mild in the west but a cool night further east, some spots dropping down to around five or six degrees. so, into tomorrow. low pressure once again is in charge of the weather. a lot of isobars on the chart. really strong wind blowing over the north west of the uk. the western isles may see gusts of 60, 70 mph for a time.

strong wind elsewhere. a band of rain pushing its way east. there probably won't be quite as much rain as we saw in same places during today, but still, 20, 30 millimetres on top of what we've already had could cause some problems, may be some further localised flooding, and the potential for travel problems. brightening up for scotland and northern ireland later in the day, a mixture of sunshine and showers as we go on towards the end of the afternoon. tuesday, low pressure still in charge. showers coming our way. these little weather features here may cause the showers to join together to give longer spells of rain. hard to be too precise about the detail but certainly on tuesday it looks like we'll see some showers which mayjoin together into longer spells of rain. some sunny spells in between. a windy day, 13—17. similarly on wednesday we'll see showers. these perhaps focused over the western side of the country. further east, not as many showers.

some spells of sunshine. temperatures 13—15 degrees. as we head through the week it is going to stay unsettled, heavy downpours, sunny spells. it will often be windy. hello, this is bbc news with samantha simmonds. the headlines: 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. 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. violent clashes in hong kong as tens of thousands of protestors defy emergency laws banning face masks.
