have achieved an overwhelming landslide victory in local elections winning nearly 90% of seats. it comes after months of protests across the city and is a massive set back for hong kong chief executive carrie lam, who has said she will respect the results. let's go live tojonathan head in hong kong. tell us more about today and a huge turnout in terms of people voting. it isa turnout in terms of people voting. it is a stunning result, of course for the opposition pan democratic alliance who had to bring together very disparate elements to make this work, i think it has gone way beyond what they expected. they have com pletely what they expected. they have completely ta ken over all district councils, it is a stunning rebuke to the hong kong chief executive carrie lam, and a stunning rebuke also to china. remember, china pushed the line that behind the apparent sympathy for the protest, large numbers of ordinary hong kong as

we re numbers of ordinary hong kong as were probably appalled at the disruption to their lives and appeal for them to come out and vote accordingly. what has happened in the end as people have completely ignored that. there is no doubt that those who turned out to vote in record numbers clearly saw the election of votes for district councils as about the current crisis and where they stood on the government's handling of the protest and they have rejected that completely. what happens now is much harder to say the district council are not in themselves particularly influential. there are implications down the line, particularly in the selection of the next chief executive, and indeed one has to wonder how long carrie lam will survive and herjob given this setback. it will shake up the current power arrangements and hong kong to some extent, and what everybody is going to be looking for is china's response to this topic china has been, up until now, content china has been, up until now, co nte nt to china has been, up until now, content to sit back and let the protests go on in the hope that they will run out of steam stopping most

of those opposition candidate ran with and either explicit or understood alignment with the protesters and they have one with resounding victory. that means the protest movement has great momentum and it is not going to stop. and that's the point, isn't it? this huge momentum they have gained today after what has been a very difficult fortnight where protests have carried from the weekend right through the week, and caused massive disruption to everyone in hong kong. the protest movement has become increasingly radical, as the youngsters leading at have become more frustrated, as they have been distressed by what they see as police violence, and as it has escalated, i think china's calculation is this is going to peel off moderate and ordinary hong kong as. the selection suggests that people are broadly still very sympathetic to the goals of the protesters. china will have to reconsider its strategy, which of course means the hong kong government will have two as well. we

have already had a very restrained statement from the hong kong government so far, stressing that it respects the vote and saying that it will actually listen, but until now, the default position of the hong kong government has been, don't make any concessions, and that presumably is baiting's view. don't give the protesters anything to encourage them. after this stunning defeat for them. after this stunning defeat for the government's site, certainly they will have you rethink that strategy but it is anyone‘s guess as to how baiting is going to respond to how baiting is going to respond to this. thank you very much indeed, and there is a lot more detail online about those results that have come through today, huge gains for pro—democracy groups and hong kong. we will keep you across how this all develops. days of heavy rain have caused widespread flooding across south—eastern france and northern italy. hundreds of homes were damaged in the french cote d'azur, and a landslide caused a motorway bridge to collapse in italy. rich preston reports. across the french riviera, normally famous for pristine towns and crystal blue waters,

the rains have kept on coming. people have had to abandon their cars and their homes. towns have been cut off after rivers broke their banks. several people have been reported missing across the region. here in the seaside town of cagnes—sur—mer, boats normally moored out at sea dragged onto the street by the water. 100 kilometres away over the border in italy, the extent of the damage is vast. in the province of savona, the water has been unforgiving. this viaduct washed away by a landslide. there were no reports of any injuries. and in venice, the city on the water is once again underwater. in the famous st mark's square, tourists and venetians wading through the tides. these people have suffered weeks

of overwhelming water levels, business owners doing what they can to protect their property. this has been the worst month for high tides in venice since records began. pumps constantly on the go with no sign of them being switched off any time soon. rich preston, bbc news. let's brief you on some of the other stories making the news. police in spain are trying to recover a submarine carrying an estimated three tonnes of cocaine that's run aground off the coast of galicia. two people have been arrested. investigators are trying to work out if the semi—submersible sailed from south america with the drugs, or whether they were transferred there at sea. celebrations in rio for the brazilian football team, flamengo, after they won the copa libertadores, have descended into chaos. police used tear gas to disperse crowds after fans reportedly tried to break through a security cordon around the team's sound system truck.

flamengo won their first copa libertadores in thirty—eight years on saturday. leaked documents reveal for the first time how china is running a network of high security prisons designed to brainwash hundreds of thousands of people. china has consistently claimed the camps in the xinjiang region offer education and training. but official documents leaked to the international consortium of investigativejournalists and seen by bbc panorama show how inmates are locked up, indoctrinated and punished. china's uk ambassador has denied the bbc‘s claims. richard bilton reports. this is a journey thousands have been forced to make into china's internment camps. now, we know what's happening inside.

this document contains orders written for those who run the camps. this is an actionable piece of evidence, documenting a gross human rights violations. this should be sitting, you know, in the files of a prosecutor. in the last three years, china has built hundreds of camps across the remote province of xinjiang. they hold at least a million people, mainly uighur muslims. china says they offer training and they stop terrorism. but the document shows why a superpower is really locking up so many people. inmates are imprisoned until they change their beliefs,

their behaviour, and their language. it's very difficult on that scale, with more than a million people in those conditions, to view that as anything other than a mass brainwashing scheme, designed and directed at an entire ethnic community. the chinese ambassador in london refused to answer our direct questions about the camps. good morning. last week, he called a press conference about hong kong, but i wanted to know about the camps of xinjiang. a wrote to you this week, sir, actually, about the camps in xinjiang. i know that they are prison camps. why won't you tell me the truth about those camps? first of all, there's no so—called labour camps, as you describe. there's what we call vocational education and training centres. they are there for the

prevention of a terrorist. with respect sir, what you're telling me bears no relation to what i have seen. the document — so—called document you're talking about is a pure fabrication. don't listen to fake news. don't listen to fabrications. the documents are not fake news. they are evidence of crimes against humanity. china is caging hundreds of thousands of people in brainwashing camps, and now we know how. bethany allen—ebrahimian is the lead reporter on the china cables project at the international consortium of investigativejournalists. she oversaw the translation of the chinese documents and says one of the most disturbing elements is the use of artificial intelligence to select people for detention.

and yet what we see is a campaign that has put up to 10% of the adult population against their will into these camps where they are subject to psychological torture, physical torture, where some people have died, and we are not seeing any statement that is honest coming from the chinese government. and what's even more terrifying is the way that they were sent. they were selected by an artificial intelligence predictive policing platform. their names were flagged according to unknown algorithms, flagged as suspicious. their names were sent to local police bureaus around the region, who then went and just detained as many of these people as they could find. and then the rest of that particular classified briefing was spent asking why they weren't able to detain even more. so what you are seeing is arrests by algorithm on a mass scale. that was one of the lead reporters on that story, again, more details online. the conservatives have become the latest of the main parties to launch their manifesto ahead of the forthcoming british general election. prime minister boris johnson

announced a whole range of policies, but his central appeal to the electorate was to get his brexit deal passed through parliament if he can secure a majority. we have priya lakhani with us, founder and ceo of century tech. finally, we are getting details, if you vote for him, what are you voting for. you are getting a com pletely voting for. you are getting a completely different view hear them what you have had from the labour government's, labour party, i should say. boris johnson government's, labour party, i should say. borisjohnson has made a joke here, he says no more corbyn by christmas. but you are seeing something different. it said here that for every pound that the conservatives are planning to spend on day—to—day spending, you are going to get 28.5 times more by the labour government. they have got this triple tax like that they are hoping to appeal to the majority of

the public. no rises and income tax, national insurance or vat, which will appeal to businesses and consumers. they really gave the nhs as their main point. 50,000 extra nurses, or these public people policies. police, and schooling. there is no mention on social care which is really interesting given that they talked about a lot recently but no pledges in the ma nifesto. recently but no pledges in the manifesto. but i think the big contrast here is that the spending is not at all similar to what the other two parties are talking about in the headlines. yes, and the labour party if you look at the spending promises as it were, it is really the figures are quite large. 89 billion on average day saving, thatis 89 billion on average day saving, that is excluding the infrastructure investment that they would be hoping to make, this is average day—to—day spending. it's taking a bit of a punt, i would spending. it's taking a bit of a punt, iwould have spending. it's taking a bit of a punt, i would have to say. what the conservatives are trying to do is

say, we other sensible party. we wa nt to say, we other sensible party. we want to focus on britain for the british people. having said that, bribing the population with a lot of spending is what people do at this point, so it is really interesting that they have taken this stance on the spending. if you take a look at bbc online today, you will see all sorts of stories there and lots of analysis on the election, and the assessment of the manifesto, so much there including what labour and the liberal democrats to promise as well. stay with us here on the briefing, still to come: looking for climate friendly ways to produce cement. we travel to india where one company's leading the way in cutting its co2 emissions. president kennedy was shot down

and died almost immediately. the murder ofjohn kennedy is a disaster for the whole free world. he caught the imagination of the world, the first of a new generation of leaders. margaret thatcher is resigning as leader of the conservative party and prime minister. before leaving number 10 to see the queen, she told her cabinet, "it's a funny old world." angela merkel is germany's first woman chancellor, easily securing the majority she needed. attempts to fly a hot—air balloon had to be abandoned after a few minutes, but nobody seemed to mind very much. as one local comic put it, "it's not hot air we need, it's hard cash." cuba has declared nine days of mourning following the death of fidel castro at the age of 90. castro developed close ties with the soviet union in the 1960s. it was an alliance that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war with the cuban missile crisis.

you're watching the briefing. 0ur headlines: pro—democracy candidates in hong kong's local elections are on course for a landslide, inflicting an overwhelming defeat on the pro—beijing establishment. as cities expand, particularly in places like india and china, demand for cement to build homes and infrastructure is surging. that's great if you're getting a new home — but there's a problem, because making cement releases huge amounts of c02, up to 8% of the global total. for our series climate defenders, ahead of the next big un climate conference, rajini vaidyanathan has been to meet the boss of one indian cement company that's managed to slash its co2 emissions to 40% below the global average, and aims to become carbon negative. as india grows, so too has its use of cement, now only second to china. concrete buildings

are changing the landscape here. but emissions involved in cement production are also pushing up global temperatures. the small town of ariyalur in india's south is nicknamed ‘cement city‘ because it's home to some of the industry's big players. and it's also here that one company's leading the world with a bold vision — to make cement carbon negative by 2040. but is that really credible? mahendra singhi, the ceo of the dalmia cement company, certainly thinks so. he's at the forefront of using climate—friendly ways to make cement. the challenge, which we took, was that is it possible to bring down co2 emissions from the cement and to create an example that cement can be greener also? and, you know, you'll be very happy to know that today we have the lowest carbon footprints in the global cement world.

it's not been easy. emissions from the cement industry contribute to global warming three orfour times more than aviation does. and becoming carbon negative requires a huge investment in cutting edge technology to remove the remaining carbon dioxide. so, why is cement so dangerous to the planet? well, it's all in the way that it's produced. limestone and other materials are heated to temperatures of 1,400 degrees celsius, and that process in itself emits carbon dioxide, as does the burning of the fuels to heat the kiln. dalmia aims to reduce those levels first by using renewable fuels to heat the furnaces. here, bamboo's being used as a replacement for coal. bamboo grows rapidly on wasteland that can't be used for much else. different types of waste are also being used as fuel, and waste material from power stations is added to the mix of ingredients, reducing the need for limestone.

but why notjust use less cement? well, the problem is it's very difficult to replace, as even environmentalists can see. in the years to come, india is going to rely more on cements, but then the notion has to change. i don't think it's practical, but in the longer run, we can do it. we cannot eliminate the cement completely, but we can find many more alternative materials. cement has now become one of the world's most consumed materials, but many people are still unaware of the damage it's doing to the climate. it's still a big polluter, but this plant in a small corner of india may be showing the way to reducing and one day eliminating its damage. rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, ariyalur. now it's time to get all the latest from the bbc sports centre. hello, i'm gavin ramjaun, and this is your monday sport briefing. we start with tennis — and it was glory for spain on home

soil in the davis cup. they beat canada in the final of the revamped competition, thanks to rafael nadal‘s victory in their second match. the world number one won in straight sets against denis shapolov to give the hosts an unassailable 2—0 lead. nadal extends his singles record in the davis cup to 29 successive victories, as the home crowd lapped up spain's sixth davis cup triumph. i could not be happier, honestly, i have had unforgettable moments here in this amazing stadium, the crowd was just, we cannot think enough all of them, and our team spirit prevailed, so we fought hard, so all we can say is thanks for this moment. more success for spain, this time in golf — jon rahm overcame a nervous back nine, and a final—round charge by tommy fleetwood to win the world tour championship in dubai. the 25—year—old tops

the race to dubai standings, as europe's top golfer, and becomes the second spaniard to achieve the feat after the late seve ballesteros, who won it six times. and he did so with a birdie on the final hole to win by one shot. it has been a great year, and again, after taking six weeks off i took a bit of a risk, but i thought it was needed, so for everybody out of there who think they need to train all the time, rest is just as important. i'm really looking forward to finishing the year strongly, hopefully i can play good again and have a great 2020. al—hilal claimed the last place in the club world cup next month, after winning the asian champions league. the saudi arabian side beat japan's urawa red diamonds to seal a 3—0 aggregate win — and with it, the last spot going for fifa's annual global competition. it was a record equalling third win for al—hilal in asia's top club competition. jose mourinho will face

the world's media once again on monday as he prepares for tottenham's latest game in the european champions league. they're at home against 0lympiakos on tuesday and can progress to the knockouts with victory. mourinho's new side got off to a winning start against west ham on saturday. they've won their last two fixtures in europe, and currently sit second in group b. to another spurs side now — this time the nba's san antonio spurs. they get set to host lebron james and his in—form la lakers team. lebron scored 30 points to help the lakers keep up their 7—game winning streak, by the finest of margins, beating the memphis grizzlies by a point. 109—108 the score, with anthony davis adding 22 points. san antonio go into the game having stopped their 8 match losing streak with their win over the new york knicks. finally to an emotional post on social media, from spain's roberto bautista agut, who returned to their side to help

them win the davis cup. agut had missed matches in the knockout phase of the competition following the death of his father. he won in straight sets against felix auger aliassime of canada. you can see what it means to him, and the team. world number 9 agut later posted this on social media, with a simple caption pointing to the sky, with a kiss as a tribute. you can get all the latest sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. but from me, gavin ramjaun, and the rest of the sport team, that's your monday sport briefing. abinet tadesse is an ethiopian lorry driver who loves spending time in his truck. but he also needed somewhere to live. so, he came up with a creative solution — he built a two storey, three bedroom house in his truck. bbc africa's yadeta berhanu went to have a look.

that is some mobile home. stay with us here on bbc news, so much more to come. hello. as we move into the final week of meteorological autumn, there is more rain in the forecast. through the early hours of monday morning, the heaviest of the rain across south—west england, wales, into northern ireland. ahead of this, the rain a little patchier, but a lot of cloud, some drizzle further north and east, so it's a murky, misty, mild start to monday morning, but quite wet in places. there but quite wet in places. will be further ran through the there will be further ran through the day tracking northwards across the day tracking northwards across the uk, not so much get into the far north of scotland, so quite a windy day for the shetland islands. 0verall of us is a mild day, 13 the top temperature, but many will see some outbreaks of rain. that rain will continue through the evening, easing off and becoming weaker as it pushes into scotland, then our eyes turn to the south—west is more rain piles in through the early hours of

tuesday morning. again a mild night, temperatures not much lower than 7— eight celsius, and that is because we are bringing in some tropical hour, this area of low pressure has the remnants of what was tropical storm sebastian, which will bring up the rainfall and strengthen the winds, so widespread gust of 40—50 mph and four south wales in south—west england, coupled with the heavy rain falling on already saturated ground, we could see flooding issues. there are a number of warnings for the rain on tuesday. a few brightest guys in between that rain, but generally an unsettled, sometimes windy day across wales and south—west england, but again very mild, 10— 14 south—west england, but again very mild, 10— 1a celsius the top temperature on tuesday afternoon. we will keep low pressure as we go into wednesday, sparring around and working eastwards, across the uk, so it will be a messy picture, some strong winds, heavy rain

collaboratively across scotland, south—western southern coast as well. further heavy rain to come, more warnings in place for rain on wednesday and then we are quite mild, 10— 12 celsius and then slowly those temperatures start to come down, and that would be the trend towards the end of the week, as this area of low pressure starts to slide eastwards it will pull down a north—easterly wind, and that will plunge some cold air across much of the uk through thursday and friday. so by the time we get the friday morning, most parts will see a frost. so to sum up the week ahead, it is cloudy, mild, wet and windy at times, dry and colder later.

this is the business briefing. i'm sally bundock. disruptor disrupted? uber finds out today if it will continue to operate in london, its biggest european market. and is the internet fracturing between china and the rest of the world? we'll take you to the splinternet to find out. and on the markets:
