hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. there are widespread protests in india over new migrant laws. the prime minister is calling for calm. chanting clashes between police and protesters at a delhi university were particularly intense. opposition parties say the government has declared war on its own people. the uk's new mps have arrived in westminster for the first time. most of them are conservatives — we'll look at what that means for brexit and uk politics. democrats will move this week to impeach donald trump — and are demanding to hear evidence from seniorfigures in his

administration. each of them will have information to share about the charges made by the house. information that no one has heard at this point. and we'll hear how arsenal has distanced itself from its star midfielder, mesut ozil, after he criticised china's treatment of uighur muslims. we will talk uk politics in a minute. there are widespread protests in india over new migrant laws. these law allow people from pakistan, bangladesh and afghanistan to become indian citizens if they claim religious persecution — but not if they're muslim. bearin bear in mind these three countries are muslim majority. that has upset an awful lot of people here.

this is in uttar pradesh. students clashed with police, schools have been shut and the internet‘s been switched off. these are also students — this time in lucknow in the north of india. they threw stones at security forces, and the security forces threw stones back. next, kolkata. this was refered to by organisers as a mega march. and in delhi, police stormed the campus of the jamia millia islamia university, where students shelter in the library as police used tear gas. a number of elements to show you in the story. dozens of people have been injured — and protests are ongoing. these are students in delhi. the easiest way to cover a protest is to block internet and to harm the students. that is what they've done. people in hong kong are protesting, chile is protesting, and they are not scared. we aren't scared either. we want to dissent

against the state. on the basis of religion. where protesting against this discrimination against the muslims, against the secular ideas of india. the bbc‘s salman ravi is also in delhi. the commotion continues for a second day today. as you can see a mob is assembled there at the gates, and they are planning to protest in march. we can see students here holding upa march. we can see students here holding up a placard. their anger is against the delhi police, they allege that the delhi police have used brute force. they also saw stu d e nts used brute force. they also saw students who were sitting in the library. the vice chancellor of the university said that she was unaware of the police entering the campus, and that the police did not seek any

permission from the university authorities. but the situation here is really tense because even the locals have now joined is really tense because even the locals have nowjoined the protests. and you can see a huge mob they are far away. it is building up and coming towards us. they are assembling, they are not college any stu d e nts assembling, they are not college any students any more, university has closed and students have been sent back to their homes. this crowd is local people who live in the neighbouring areas. there have been demonstrations from delhi to chennai, mumbai to guwahati. they started though in the north—eastern state of assam last week. six people have been killed since they spread across the country. the un has described the law as "fundamentally discriminatory". the hindu—nationalist bjp government defends it. here's prime minister narendra

modi... and this is a spokesperson for bjp. is not against the spirit of the constitution. india is a secular country, and this amendment is a set democrat secular act. nothing to do with muslims or any minorities in the country. this is all propaganda of leftists because they can't really fight with us politically somewhat the opposition congress party disputes that. its former leader... and here's a spokesperson for the congress party. across the country, you can see the campuses. they are boiling. it is not just the muslims, campuses. they are boiling. it is notjust the muslims, it is every cast, community, village who is coming forward who is worried

about the constitution of india. this is aimed at dividing society, and you can see the reaction of the society, and indians are refusing to be divided by the government. what is the quietest political engagement? the prime minister is not used to the dialogue, he's only used a monologue. and that does not work in a country as huge and varied as india. anbarasan ethirajan has more from delhi. the students who were protesting peacefully in delhi over the weekend -it peacefully in delhi over the weekend — it can anger them because the government is not reaching out to them. that is one way. the second is that india's home ministry has alerted many others in the country to provide security, because more protests are happening in other parts of the country, they are spreading. as we speak, many students have assembled in front of the university in the capital, delhi. this has really triggered a student moment here in india, but the government was taken completely

by surprise. and now they have to reach out to the students, and they hope the student protests will die down in the next few days. more from india in the next few hours. over 100 new conservative mps have arrived in london as the uk's new parliament assembles. lots of interesting elements to the result on thursday. the conservatives took 44% of the vote — great result, highest share of the vote since 1979, though less than 2% higher than theresa may managed in 2017 — and that was declared a disaster by many. these are fine margins, but the uk's electoral system always favours the bigger parties, so that 44% borisjohnson won last week has translated into a majority in the house of commons of 80 mp5. that makes brexit all but certain. the fact that fewer than half of voters backed the conservatives

or the brexit party — the only two parties supporting brexit explicitly — is neither here nor there at this point. the argument is over — that's how the electoral system works. now, here are some key dates for the week. tomorrow, mps start being sworn in. on thursday, we have the queen's speech — that's when the queen formally opens parliament and sets out the government's legislative programme. on friday, the brexit withdrawal bill will be tabled once again, and the brexit debate will resume. this will be like the drama we've seen time and time again the last few months. this time, because of the conservative majority, there will be no problems — and brexit looks very very likely by 31 january. that's the easy bit for the government. because after that, the uk and the eu start negotiating a trade deal — and borisjohnson wants it done by the end of next year. here's chris morris from bbc reality

check. that is a very, very tight timetable for any trade deal. the reason it is that tight is he's guaranteed there will be no extension to the transition period after brexit, when all the rules and regulations stay the same. and for that element to like her 11 month period, the uk will remain part of the single market and the customs union. i think we will hear lots about zero tariffs, zero quota deal which sounds great, but it is not what many companies trading with europe at the moment and enjoy in terms of com pletely at the moment and enjoy in terms of completely frictionless trade. there are sterile democrats till other text those companies would have to deal with under zero tariffs, zero quoted deal. the other part is when you talk about tariffs and quotas, you talk about tariffs and quotas, you talk about goods, not services. and services are a large part of the british economy. so there's a lot to be done in a very short time. chris morris on the trade negotiations which are coming down the track.

there were other parts to the conservative campaign besides brexit, but it lacked detail. here's rob watson to explain what we can expect. the broad idea of what the conservative party wants to do is to essentially say, "look, we need to try to do more for the bits of britain that d industrialised essentially in the north, places where mo people boarded the microphone conservative and to leave. ? it's places that have not done as well as oxford or london. here's the obligation, to do things like that is immensely complicated. if it wasn't, someone would have done it before hand. all the governments that were forecasted however brexit was done, it will harm the economy, therefore giving the government fewer tax revenues. even ina the government fewer tax revenues. even in a big, rich, sophisticated country like britain, carrying out big infrastructure projects, making the loft better connected to the contrary, all these things are very ha rd contrary, all these things are very hard to.

as the new parliament assembles in london — in belfast, northern ireland's five biggest parties have been holding talks to get their parliament reopened. stormont has been closed since january 2017 — back then, the two biggest northern irish parties — the democratic unionist party and the irish republican party, sinn fein — stopped cooperating with each other. that has continued. so we need to look at where whether they can achieve any type of agreement. from northern ireland to scotland, the scottish nationalist party continued its dominance. it now has 48 out of the 59 seats in scotland — that's up from 35 in 2017. and the central part of its manifesto is to hold another referendum on scottish independence next year. its leader, nicola sturgeon, has this message for borisjohnson. scotla nd scotland cannot be imprisoned with the united kingdom against its will. and these are just basic statements

of democracy. the tories might rage against the reality of what happened on thursday for a while, i fully expect that they will. ultimately they will have to face up to and confront that reality because the will of the scottish people cannot be ignored. but the snp wanting another referendum doesn't mean that they can get one, as rob watson explains. scotla nd scotland can't hold another referendum unless the uk government gives permission. but i do think this is one of the many challenges borisjohnson faces. this is one of the many challenges boris johnson faces. it seems this is one of the many challenges borisjohnson faces. it seems to me that he can't keep scotland in the union by refusing a second referendum. you have to make the argument to why it would be a good idea to stay in the union and not wa nt idea to stay in the union and not want a referendum. and if you look at borisjohnson, want a referendum. and if you look at boris johnson, the want a referendum. and if you look at borisjohnson, the amount of challengers — on the one hand, he has a thumping majority, on the other hand, he has the challenge of brexit to do. he has the backdrop of what one would call an ugly baby contest, it's not so much that he w011 contest, it's not so much that he

won the contest, but that labour loss to the election. then you have the pro—independence scottish national party doing so well. then you also hear about the idea of needing to calm things down and restore local government in northern ireland, where of course the whole issue of brexiteers has reignited those difficult existential questions about northern ireland's future, too. got to talk about labour. it lost over two million votes compared with 2017 — and its representaion in parliament is at its lowest since the 1930s. we know labour leaderjeremy corbyn and his shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, will both step down in time. at the moment these are the five lead candidates to take over. emily thornberry, keir starmer and jess phillips — all favoured staying in the eu, none are particularly close tojeremy corbyn and his supporters. rebecca long bailey and angela rayner are much more loyal to the current leadership. heather stewart at the guardian

says... not confirmed. katy balls at the spectator hearing the same rumours. we'll see. but at the heart of this decision is whether to stick or twist on labour's current policy platform. whether it matters if the leader is from london. and whether it matters if the new leader is a woman. all factors will play into choosing who gets to be the next leader. here's more from rob. it's about ppb — p policy, does the labour party stay on the left as it has been underjeremy corbyn, or doesn't move to the centre? p, personality, that was the biggest problem labour had. jeremy corbyn was historically unpopular. and b is brexit. does it bank on the idea

that brexit will be a failure position itself as a anti—brexit party? one way i'm answering your question in terms of which direction labour goes — it is worth noting that the majority of labour members, and it is the biggest mass membership party in europe, half a million members, artist very left wing. that's no crime, they appear to be committed socialists. so choosing a candidate will be able challenge. one last question about the impact of borisjohnson‘s victory on political discourse in the uk. he is undoubtedly been very successful the last few days, but in the campaign, he repeatedly said things which are either incorrect or partially correct, his party pushed out a lot of adverts with incorrect information, he dodged the usual scrutiny that comes in events like the bbc‘s leaders events, and in the past he said derogatory remarks about gay people, muslims, single mothers — these were —— this was a different type of fate, her

campaign, and he did very well, the uk campaign, and he did very well, the u k voters campaign, and he did very well, the uk voters approved to his campaign. what effect will that have? that is a good question that will take a long time to answer. it was only a copout, but in many ways that discussion hasn't been had yet in britain, certainly not amongst the politicians of where our politics are heading. you could say that in many ways it wasn't so much that the campaign democrat recent campaigns we re campaign democrat recent campaigns were underhanded, but more underwhelming. it was more pitching to the voters by slogan rather than serious debate and policy. and i've seen it said a couple things that we re seen it said a couple things that were interesting, politicians need to be careful because the more you play fast and loose, the more you we can trust which is already very, very low amongst voters and politicians. i also thought it was really interesting that basically, you get the politicians you deserve. if voters aren't very comfortable about hearing the truth that people will have to work longer or if you have an ageing population, then politicians will do it. in other

words, there's all sorts of things for us to think about as voters and journalists, and politicians. thanks to bob, and we will have extended coverage from westminster throughout the week. still to come: one of arsenal's star players, mesut ozil, has become embroiled in a political row with china. arsenal has distanced themselves from what he's been saying. hundreds of former postal workers have won a high court battle against the post office in britain. bugs in a software system created accounting shortfalls that led to staff being jailed for theft orfraud. here's nick wallace on today's ruling. pa rt part of the post office's argument was that some postmasters are entirely in control of their branch accounts. because they if —— if they aren't, how do you prosecute them forfraud? that aren't, how do you prosecute them for fraud? that is the only method of asset recovery at this point. they never did proper investigations as to why these discrepancies arrived because they believe their contract allowed them to chase

the postmasters for these alleged discrepancies. they never did the investigation, and their business model was based on asset recovery from postmasters. the 35 criminalised sub postmasters, ten of whom went to prison — one would hope that the postmaster has accepted, and given what the judge has declared today, they will look at those prosecutions themselves and offer up those prosecutions themselves and offerup any those prosecutions themselves and offer up any evidence to the ccr c, as they are obliged to do. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story... india's prime minister has appealed for after violent protests against a new citizenship law — which opponents say discriminates against muslims. here are some of the main stories from bbc world service. amnesty international says the authorities in iran are arresting people suspected of being involved in last month's

anti—government protests. at the time, the government denounced the unrest as a conspiracy by its enemies. forsensic investigators in turkey say the british ex—soldier who helped found syria's white helmets volunteer group died from a fall. james le measure—er was found dead on a street below a window of his flat in istanbul in november. that's from bbc arabic. in the us, hallmark cards has apologised for withdrawing tv adverts featuring same—sex couples on its cable network. it had come under pressure from the conservative group 1 million mums. we're finding out a little about arsenal football club today. its star player mesut ozil has become embroiled in a row with china, after he criticised the country's treatment of uighur muslims. beijing says he's been deceived by "fa ke news". ozil is muslim, and he tweeted an image over the weekend lots of other organisations, including the un, would disagree with that. ozil is muslim, and he tweeted an image over the weekend

in which he called uighurs "warriors who resist persecution". he also criticised both china and the silence of muslims on this issue. now he's not out on a limb here — china's treatment of the uighurs has been widely condemned. there's extensive evidence that more than a million people were detained in camps in the north western region of xinjiang. china has insisted detention camps like these were voluntary "re—education centres" — and that everyone's now been released. that it is also definitely contested. it's also inviting mesut ozil to visit the region. translation: i don't know if mr mesut ozil has ever visited before, but i can tell that he's deceived by false news reports, misled by unfounded and false statements. arsenal released this statement saying... but already it knows the stakes. chinese state tv pulled a live broadcast of arsenal's match on sunday. that's a lot of people not watching.

and some chinese fans have turned on ozil. translation: i think it is absolutely inappropriate. if you are absolutely inappropriate. if you are a football star, you should comment only about football. if you don't understand this matter, then there is no need for you to comments about politics. there's a broader context here. in october, the nba team the houston rockets lost sponsorship and televised games after its manager showed support for hong kong protesters. china evidently is not going to let these interventions pass. simon chadwick is a professor of sports enterprise at the university of salford. we've seen this many times before, most recently with the nba incident. i even going back years ago, there was an incident during a chelsea tour came to china when one of the chelsea players made a social media remark, which quickly led to action from china. so this is an inevitability. if you choose to do business in tight neck, this

is the action you expose yourself to. —— china. you are taking a position an aside, no matter what, and as far as china is concerned, when it comes to such a political and contentious issue, you're either with or against china, no middle ground. forarsenal by not condoning the chinese up position — it has taken a position, and this won't play out well among some chinese officials and for both national football fans. here's a headline from the guardian condeming arsenal's reaction. china is certainly a key market for arsenal. the bbc‘s asia pacific editor celia hatton has more. relay, money talks here. china is the premier league's most lucrative market for some people in the sports world say that is what will happen next, contracts will especially say that athletes have to be careful what they say on social media, they are not allowed to tweet anything political. but this really is a fine line, because the longer beijing

begins to push this, there really just testing who is react to this. boeing's share price has been tumbling today, as the company's board meets to decide whether it should slow down or halt production of its best selling jet — the 737 max. the plane has been grounded around the world since march following two the 737 max. deadly crashes which killed 346 people boeing has been working on a software update to a computer system called mcas — which has been implicated in the crash, but us regulators say they definately won't let the plane fly until next year. so far the grounding has cost boeing more than $9 billion — and that's climbing every day the plane remains grounded. samira hussain joins us. hi samara. it is possible boeing could decide to stop producing the 737 max? it is possible

they could. remember earlier this year, the company reduced the number of these boeing 737 max planes it was producing. and they're doing that for a few reasons. one, these planes are unable to fly, so they're still making them but they have to park them somewhere — and they are big planes and they‘ re them somewhere — and they are big planes and they're running out of space as to where they can park them. but there also unable to deliver them, and boeing has always been optimistic in terms of its timeline, always thinking if you get the planes back up and running by the planes back up and running by the end of this year. it has become quite clear that that will not be possible. so now, it is reallyjust a numbers game. and to keep producing but not delivering these planes comes at quite a heavy cost for the company. do we know that the board intends to take a definitive decision one way or the other? we do not know, we have no guidance in

terms of what the board is thinking, whether they will take this kind of action or not, or whether they are even considering this. it is something that has come up on earnings calls previously. but in terms of making a decision now, it is not really very clear. but it should be said that if they do and up should be said that if they do and up making these planes even temporarily, it will certainly have a big impact not only on boeing the company, but it will have a ripple effect throughout the us economy. just quickly, is there an x essential threat here for boeing? there are already some airlines that have shunned boeing and have now decided to go with airbus instead. and there are all these questions. if you are a smaller airline and you've bought a big plane but it cannot fly, it comes at a really big cost to you. bigger airlines are better able to withstand this, smaller airlines are not. so it is a

pretty tricky situation that these airlines and boeing is in. thank you, we will talk about that tomorrow. when we come back, we'll return to our main story, these widespread protests in india. good evening. extreme heat, extreme fire risk continues in australia. let's start though in north america, the warnings out for severe winter weather. we've got strong and dry santa ana winds, we've got rain and snow coming to the rockies, the avalanche risk quite high in colorado, and then this weather system could generate some tornadoes across alabama, mississippi, louisiana. so the deep south, as it moves its way eastwards overnight. soaking rains as well, snow on its northern edge, and even freezing rain issues too. so some very icy conditions as we go through monday and into tuesday. really cold air behind, now, some of that will also affect the caribbean islands and central america, and it's still wetter than average through columbia, bolivia, peru, and we're picking up

more rain this week in northern argentina, uruguay and paraguay. to the south of that, it's warmer than it should be, across northeast argentina, but there are some really intense showers to come. some intense showers continue for tanzania, for madagascar too, and we are keeping a close eye on potential cyclone development in the indian ocean, which may well enhance those rains once again, and also, it's unsettled across the northwest of africa. we're also seen showers coming out of eastern parts of the mediterranean across the labonte, but they are not pushing across the middle east. kuwait, saudi arabia, around iraq, so cooler than it should be here, some torrential downpours could lead to some flooding in those dry river beds. snow over the hills. it's colder than it should be as well across northern states of india, cold warnings outcome of fog warnings, all the rain's further south. lots of rain through the pacific islands, without northeast monsoon plaguing the philippines as well. for the north, high—pressure's with us for the large part, but we've got some rain forjapan. not that much rain across australia at the moment, it's all wet and windy in new zealand, but for australia, it's those interior winds that

are heating things up. we had 3—4 days of temperatures above a0 degrees in perth. that heat‘s now shifted its way into central, and it's moving its way into eastern areas as well. so for melbourne and adelaide, temperatures really rising by wednesday, and indeed, for adelaide, we could have four or five days with temperatures in excess of a0 degrees. so early in the season, obviously, that's going to give the risk to the extreme fire risk. now across europe, we've had another storm move in, daniel, across siberia, moving rain across here and into france, and more snow for the alps monday into tuesday. but, also, it's drawing up these mild southerly winds, and pushing them quite far northwards, so we could see snowmelt as that snow height rises, and an avalanche risk, as we go through the week. milder than it has been for some time. so, some of the city forecasts you can see, for example, being wet and windy for london, later in the week, and for berlin and madrid too, and a very showery unsettled picture across rome. across the uk, we've got rain to come into southern

and eastern areas overnight, but then we've got the fog and frost for us to start with before we get more rain and strong winds mid week. more on that in half an hour.

hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. there are widespread protests in india over new migrant laws — the prime minister is calling for calm. clashes between police and protesters at a delhi university were particularly intense. opposition parties say the government has declared war on its own people. the uk's new mps have arrived in westminster for the first time. most of them are conservatives — we'll look at what that means for brexit and uk politics democrats will move this week to impeach president trump — and are demanding to hear evidence from seniorfigures in his

administration. each of them will have information to share about the charges made by the house. information that no one has heard at this point. and the us says a peace deal with north korea is still possible. we'll get the view of our correspondent in the region laura bicker. an impeachment trial in the us senate now looks very likely — and now chuck schumer, the most senior democrat in the senate, is calling for current and former white house aides to testify. he's written to the senate's leading republican mitch mcconnell, asking that witnesses with "direct knowledge of administration "decisions, regarding the delay in security assistance to ukraine" appear before congress. two of the witnesses the democrats particularly want to hear from are white house acting chief

of staff mick mulvaney and ex—national security adviserjohn bolton. kim while is a usjournalist who writes about the consitution. here's her take on if the democrats will end up hearing from those witnesses. where is mick mulvaney‘s testimony, where isjohn bulletins testimony? rudy giuliani stress money? all of these people have first—hand knowledge of what the president was up knowledge of what the president was up to, we need to hearfrom them, as americans, and i think chiefjustice roberts would understand that. on the other hand, there is a doctrine called the political question doctrine, which essentially gives most federaljudges out of politics. i think he's going to be walking a very fine line in terms of making decisions that really should be for the political parties. the president is accused of trying to pressure ukraine to investigate his political rival joe biden — and of withholding military aid in order to maximise that pressure.

he's also accused of obstructing congress because the white house has been telling staff not to testify — or release some documents. on wednesday, the house of representatives — the lower chamber — will vote on whether to impeach the president. this needs a simple marjority — so 51% or more. that's very likely as the democrats control the house. if that happens, we're onto a trial in the senate. at the end of that the 100senators will vote on whether to remove donald trump from office. that needs a two thirds majority — so 67 votes. that seems very unlikely. the republicans control the senate — and they're saying things like this. everything i do during this, i'm co—ordinate and with white house counsel. there will be no difference

between the presidents position and oui’ between the presidents position and our position. as to how to handle this. lam this. i am clearly made up my mind. i'm not trying to hide the fact that i have disdain for the accusations and the process. senators are not required like jurors in a criminal trial to be so sequestered, to not talk to anyone, there no prohibition. let's bring in gary o'donoghue, washington. it feels like political theatre, but the democrats really don't think those four people that she want to speak to are actually going to show up. well, i think that's probably true that they don't think they are likely to show up, and what you might get is some republicans pushing back and saying, well, if you want those, then maybe we should have joe you want those, then maybe we should havejoe biden you want those, then maybe we should have joe biden and you want those, then maybe we should havejoe biden and his son, hunter, turning up to give evidence as well. but it's part of the ftse that's going on ahead of the decision of how this trial will be run. bear in mind, constitution is pretty silent on how you run these trials. just

as the senate has the sole right to do it, and after that, you can make up the rules yourself as those senators, it has to be overseen by the chiefjustice, senators, it has to be overseen by the chief justice, we senators, it has to be overseen by the chiefjustice, we know that, but mitch mcconnell, of course, has 53 republicans in the upper house. you can purchase through the rules on whether or not there are witnesses, how long they get to speak for, who gets to talk when, how long the whole process could take. so this is sort of chuck schumer, the democrat there, this is his opening salvo to try and steer the process of how the senate is actually going to conduct this whole thing. does the process even work, gary, if the republicans are willing to participate? well, i don't think they have said that. they will all have to take an oath, imean, they will all have to take an oath, i mean, they will all have to sit there. some have clearly made up their minds already, but i suspect that's true on the democrat side as well. in a sense, i mean, you have to remember this is a political process. it isn't, it's a court,

but it's not pretending to be a statutory court in any normal sense. it's a political court, and impeachment as a political process. and therefore, you are going to get partisanship as part of it. that's what we're seeing loud and much more than we got, a good deal more than we got last time around. the interesting time with bill clinton backin interesting time with bill clinton back in the late 90s is in terms of the rules of the trial, they manage, both sides to agree those rules, 100 to zero. so they've got sort of a consensus on how to even do it, this time they are only going to get consensus on how to do it. what of the polling around this? because most politicians a process like this would be hugely damaging, but lots of things that would be normally politically damaging have damaged donald trump at all. yeah, i mean, the polling is about roughly half and half. a little bit, few more people percentage point whites are in favour of impeachment and removal than are against it. if

you go back to bill clinton post make error it's actually much less. it was just over actually much less. it was just over a third that were in favour of impeachment at a time. donald trump is in impeachment at a time. donald trump isina impeachment at a time. donald trump is in a worse position. if you look at his approval ratings, they are on the 42% mark, they haven't really moved very much since he became president. so this isn't necessarily damaging him in that way, i think what the democrats would be hoping if when they make a purely political calculation is that those small numbers of swing voters in suburban areas in key states that this message cuts through to them. that's what they will be hoping. they're not expecting to get him removed from office as a result of this, you set out the numbers yourself pretty clearly earlier, but it's about the damage it does to key voters. gary, very useful, appreciated, thank you very useful, appreciated, thank you very much indeed. let's switch from washington to india. there are widespread protests in india over new migrant laws. these law allow people from pakistan, bangladesh and afghanistan to become indian citizens if they claim

religious persecution — but not if they're muslim. in delhi, police stormed the campus of the jamia millia islamia university. students sheltered in the library as police used tear gas. the protests have now spread to other parts of the country — but they began in the north—eastern state of assam last week. faisal mohammed ali is in guwahati. one of the main cities in the state. yes, for the first time in several days, the markets are open so late over here in the city. almost about two hours left to the curfew to be imposed again in the city. public transport are still not fully operational, there is no , business establishments are asking their workers to stay back in the premises so they can join duty the next day. the schools have declared winter holidays early, meanwhile, just make more people have died

of bullet injuries in the hospital. ——two more people have died of bullet injuries in the hospital. you can see a sense of anxiety, a sense of fear among people, but it doesn't seem that the agitation against india's new citizenship law is going to die so soon. janhavee pandit is in mumbai. we are indebted to our collea g u es colleagues at bbc world service. next let's switch across to the west coast, here is genevieve. to make the demonstrations in mumbai were fairly peaceful, although, we saw mast presence of police near the campus. notjust the campus. not just the mum campus. notjust the mum by campus. not just the mum by university students, but institutions like the institute of technology and the institute of technology and the institute of technology and the institute of social sciences also participated in the protest. their demands? a strict action against those responsible for the violence in delhi and a reconsideration of the law which is turned controversial. here's neha bhatnagar,

bbc world service. with more on the protesters. it started with islamia university, which is a very very reputed university in india, in delhi. but various other universities as well, so these particular pictures that we are seeing a violent clashes, that happened in southern parts of delhi in and around this university. there have been allegations that police entered, stormed inside the campus, without any permission, police say they don't need permission, because there was violence, instances of violence they are. ——was violence, instances of violence there. however, there are allegations that actually, they were protesting, but not protesting in a violent manner, and police came down on them quite heavy handedly. it could have, police could have shown some restraint, and their response was out of proportion. this happened on sunday, but these protests have continued. today, loads and loads of students formed a chain around this area. they covered their faces, they covered their mouths, to show that they will continue to protest silently about this, and protesters pray to other universities and other

colleges across india now, you know, whether they are from the northern part or to mumbai, or in calcutta, spread all across the country now. and how are they reacting to the comments the prime minister has made about the protests? well, today he has asked for calm and to ask people to exercise restraint, but earlier, the prime minister had commented that protesters can be identified from their clothing, and that did not go down very well at all. because many looked upon it as a way to show, probably, to incite some kind of you know aspect to this, and in response, many students actually started protesting without their tops on, so there were many male students that we saw on the streets of delhi who took off their shirts, and remember, it's very very cold in delhi right now. people are concerned about their health, their safety, amidst this entire situation, but there's another aspect, where in the... it's being said that the bit of the mob that got violence,

or the protester that got violent were not actually students in the first place. the government is alleging that other political parties are trying to leverage the situation and are creating violence and taking it out of the hands of students to those who are professionally, or, you know, those who are actually trying to incite trouble and violence. certain to come back to that story tomorrow. every day an outside source, we bring you reports from all over the world. next we switch to the democratic republic of congo next. armed rebels have attacked and killed 33 people across a 24—hour period. this happened in the region of beni — which has been plagued by violence. louise dewast has more. civil society says that militants last night went door to door killing civilians in side their homes. the number of attacks in eastern drc has significantly increased since october, when the army

launched an offensive against the adf, the allied democratic forces. it's unclear exactly what this group's agenda is, but these attacks could be retaliation for this offensive that was launched recently by the army, a local human rights group says that more than 200 civilians have been killed since october. on friday, president felix said in his state of the nation address, that almost all of the adf sanctuaries in eastern drc had been destroyed, that more than 200 fighters had been captured. but clearly it wasn't enough to stop the violence, and this surge in violence in the area is also making things very difficult for those health workers in the region who are trying to stop the spread of an ebola outbreak. inafew in a few minutes on the programme, one of the most followed stories in the uk today. a $50 million jewellery

theft in london — from the home tamara ecclestone — the daughter of former formula one boss, bernie ecclestone. now back to uk politics and after last week's election, mps are arriving westminster. our chief political correspondent vicki young has been finding out more about three of them. wow, this is a rather big day. it's quite momentous. i think it's one of those days you're never going to forget. i feel like i've got those butterflies in my stomach, but i'm doing this for the people of blyth valley, and i think we can really make a change. ian levy's victory was one of the stand out moments on election night. taking the former mining constituency of blyth valley from labour confirmed it would be a stunning result for the conservatives. now he has left hisjob in the nhs and is heading to parliament. and this is westminster‘s youngest mp, labour's nadia witham, who isjust 23.

yeah, my family was terrified about it. it's a toxic climate for women in politics, particularly women of colour. i never thought a few months ago, when i was applying for minimum wage christmas temp jobs, that i wouldn't need those jobs because i would be an mp by christmas. it feels surreal, but i'm here to do a job. amy callaghan's win for the snp grabbed the headlines because she defeated the liberal democrat leaderjo swinson. it was obviously quite overwhelming at first, but i've had an incredibly interesting day. i've already met with a school from a local constituency, and... it's fairly daunting for a young woman in politics coming in, but i'm incredibly lucky i've got so much support from such a big group of snp mps coming down here. 155 new mps will be arriving here this week after the election. women will make up 34% of the total number in the house of commons — that is up slightly. but the big difference is that conservatives will now be representing some parts of the north east of england, wales and the west midlands that haven't been represented by the conservatives

for generations. new mps have a lot of rules and traditions to get used to as they prepare to make their voices heard from these famous green benches. vicki young, bbc news, westminster. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is? india's prime minister has appealed for calm after violent protests against a new citizenship law — which opponents say discriminates against muslims. the french government official in charge of major changes to the pension system has resigned. jean—paul dell—vois was facing allegations of potential conflicts of interest, which he denies. more broadly, for two weeks, there have been strikes and protests over these pension proposals. bbc world service europe. firefighters in eastern australia say an attempt to contain rampant bushfires northwest of sydney has gone wrong — and has lead

to damaged buildings and the blocking of major roads. emergency crews had started a controlled fire to reduce dry material but they lost control of it. bbc world service english. in the us, hallmark cards has apologised for withdrawing tv adverts featuring same—sex couples on its cable network. it had come under pressure from the conservative group 1 million mums. a little while ago, we were talking with sameer new york about how the board of boeing was meeting to discuss what to do about the 737 max. the plane has been involved in two deadly crashes in recent months with several hundred people losing their lives. it's been grounded since march, and the board has been meeting to consider whether to suspend production permanently holds production, continue with

effo rts holds production, continue with efforts to convince the federal authorities to let the plane fly again, well, the story has moved in the last few minutes. here's an update. that's the wall streetjournal reporting. let's just scroll through this to get more details. so, just to be clear, this is an boeing pulling the plug on the 737 max, but it's an acknowledgement that it can't keep producing these planes without somewhere to put them. airlines can't take delivery of it, and that's becoming a problem. so, they are halting production into 2020.

it has clearly, and aspiration to at some point recommence the production of this plane. bear in mind, it's already cost them $9 billion. with that news, that bill will go up further and further. let's talk about north korea. america's playing it cool in the face of north korean provocation. it says a peace deal is still possible — despite korea launching a series of weapons tests and threatening to send washington an unwelcome " christmas gift‘. kimjong un has also said the us has til the end of the year to come up with a new denuclearisation deal. he wants significant sanctions relief to be part of this — but president trump says he won't lift sanctions until north korea abandons its nuclear programme. here's the us envoy to north korea. note the more positive tone. let me speak directly to our

cou nterpa rts let me speak directly to our counterparts in north korea. it is time for us to do ourjobs. let's get this done. we are here and you know how to reach us. at the moment, pyongyang's focus appears to be tests not talks. on eighth december, it said it carried out what it called a "very important test". there was another one a week later. it's thought both were carried out at this facility — called the sohae satellite launching ground. north korea has promised to dismantle it. now, we're not clear what the tests involved. this is one north korea expert's view. if we take the two of them together, i think we can surmise that this likely had a similar purpose. it probably involves the test on the ground of a rocket engine, that mightfind ground of a rocket engine, that might find use on a satellite launcher, or it may find use on a ballistic missile, given the tone

of their statements, however, ballistic missile, given the tone of theirstatements, however, iwould suspected to be the latter in this case. this is not where donald trump hoped to be with the north koreans. he met kimjong—un in singapore injune 2018 and once in vietnam in february this year. they also held "impromptu" talks at the demilitarised zone that separates north and south korea injune. but north korea has since resumed short—range ballistic missile tests — and there doesn't appear to be much to show for the three meeting. laura bicker has more from seoul. over the last few weeks, we have seen that ratcheting up of tests. in fact, in the last week, we've had two tests of an apparent rocket engine. now, this is an engine for what to many analysts believe could be an intercontinental ballistic missile, capable of reaching the united states, or it could also be a satellite. either way, north korea is keeping the united states guessing, and also saying, look, we might be able to launch one of these, despite your sanctions, and it would break the

word that kimjong—un offered to donald trump when he said, look, i will not test these long—range missiles. but kim jong—un has said that only applies to the end of the year. so, the us is up against a ticking clock, hence the appeal from stephen bacon. however, we are waiting to hearfrom pyongyang over the next couple of days. will they respond? will they even want face talks? we will have to wait and see. we will finish by talking about tamara ecclestone, daughter of the former f1 boss, bernie ecclestone — and has had 66 million dollars worth of jewellery stolen from her home in london. this happened on friday night. daniela relph has the story — and her report contains flash photography. wealthy and not afraid to show its, tamara eggleston‘s on tv show, billion dollar girl was all about the exotic holidays, the glamourous nights out... that's the biggest battle in the

world. the millions spent on renovating her mansion and the expensive jewellery. 0h expensive jewellery. oh my god, i love it. how nice is ed? but most of that exclusive jewellery collection has now gone, stolen from her home in kensington on one of london's most secure roads alongside a number of embassies. the house has a 2k hour security team, and a cctv control room. the police say they were called to her home and here it just say they were called to her home and here itjust after 11 o'clock on friday nights, and it was reported that a high value ofjewellery had been stolen. they are now looking for three men believed to be inside the property in connection with the burglary. just hours earlier, tamara had posted this photo of her daughter on social media, the family was off on holiday. detectives will 110w was off on holiday. detectives will now look for any link between them leaving in the burglary later that day. tamara's father, the former head of formula 1, bernie eccleston,

has described the robbery is an inside job, has described the robbery is an insidejob, by someone has described the robbery is an inside job, by someone who had knowledge of the property. a spokesperson for tamara eccleston said her security team were cooperating with the police, and the family was shaken and angry. daniella ralph, bbc news, west london. let's quickly go to sameer in new york. sameer, tell me about what the boeings decided, please. we arejust what the boeings decided, please. we are just hearing reports what the boeings decided, please. we arejust hearing reports now what the boeings decided, please. we are just hearing reports now that boeing has indeed decided to halt the production of its 737 max jets. now, they have said that they are going to help this production beginning in january. going to help this production beginning injanuary. now, we have just talked about this a few moments ago, that the company was considering making this move. this is really an unprecedented move. america's largest playmaker. it's an industrialjuggernaut in this country, and we are certainly going to be seeing ripple effects rates across the country, because you think about these planes require suppliers from everywhere. so this is really going to be significant.

we will have more details coming soon. thank you, we will talk more about this tomorrow. a huge business story there. that's boeing's biggest selling plane, production is being halted. see you tomorrow, bye—bye. hello there. we are starting this week off on a pretty chilly note, with further showers across the north of the uk, especially across scotland, before turning wintry over the higher ground with the accumulated snow. but towards the end of the week, it is a different story, becoming milder, wetter, and windier with low pressure taking over. we have one area of low pressure across the north of the uk, a weak feature as we start tuesday. this weather front across the southwest bringing bringing rain, slack isobars and clear skies across central portions of the uk, meaning central portions of the uk will start cold and could see some pragmatic mist and dense fog patch is around,

particularly northern ireland, northern england, wales and the midlands. so watch out for these, they could be stubborn to clear, as well. otherwise, there should be quite a lot of sunshine with light winds. a chilly start, mind you, with a few showers with that area of low pressure to the northeast of scotland the northern isles, and there will be rain. quite a damp story across east anglia in the southeast, with that rain slowly petering out through the day. it will be another chilly day, temperatures ranging from 4—8 celsius. that's how it looks for tuesday. there's a ridge of high pressure is building in tuesday night into wednesday, so that means wednesday will look largely fine for most. this area of low pressure will be the game changer for the end of the week. we start wednesday off again on a chilly note with some frost and fog around, but plenty of sunshine around. winds will start to pick up throughout the day, making it feel colder with temperatures in the single digits for most. but it starts to turn wetter and windier in the southwest and west, note those temperatures coming up to 10-11d. note those temperatures coming up to 10—11d. wednesday evening and overnight, looking very windy, blustery night for all. our breaks 01’ blustery night for all. our breaks or bring to my gales and the

receipt, gusts of 60—70 mph and exposure, that could lead to some disruption. that system moves northwards up through thursday, a run of fairly strong south or south westerly winds, with sunshine and blustery showers. most of the showers will affect southern and western areas, it could be some northern and eastern areas, shelter should see some good spells of sunshine. notice, the temperatures across the board in double figures for most, could see highs of around 13 degrees in the south. so that is above the seasonal average. as we head on into friday, another area of low pressure is likely to move up from the south, as it's going to bring further windy weather, but especially some pretty heavy rain. that's going to be problematic to central and southern parts of the country through friday morning, and then, slowly transferring towards then, slowly transferring towards the northern half of the country through the second part of the day. it could be a little bit of sunshine following him behind, and you notice temperatures, double figures for england and wales. single figures for scotland and northern ireland. low pressure than still with us as

we head on into the start of the new weekend. a ridge of high pressure builds in behind, so, it means it's going to be pretty wet, we think, for the northern half of the country through saturday. could see a little bit of transient snow on the high ground, but that ridge of high pressure should bring some sunshine for a while to northern ireland into england and wales before the next system is expected to move in to bring wetter and windier weather here. once again, heights of 10—11d. be on saturday, so sunday, and into the christmas week, it looks like low pressure will want to always be nearby, and our winds will be coming in off the atlantic. so i think temperatures will hover around the seasonal average. certainly come at the beginning of the christmas week, but it will remain quite unsettled, and just subtle hints towards the latter pa rt and just subtle hints towards the latter part of the christmas week, things could turn a little bit more settled, a bit cooler, and drier, but you will have to stay tuned.

this programme contains repetitive flashing images. tonight at ten... borisjohnson welcomes his new conservative mps to westminster as parliament prepares to reconvene tomorrow. we must repay the trust of the electorate. he tells colleagues they must repay the trust of voters in former labour areas who turned to the tories last week. jubilation, too, for the scottish national party, with 48 mps in the new parliament, having taken seats from conservatives, labour and the lib dems. and as some of the new intake made their way to westminster, a sense of excitement and trepidation about what lies ahead. it's a bit surreal, it's, like, it's actually happening, here we are and we can get these things done. last time you remember

these sort of things, its first day at big school, isn't it? we'll have the latest from westminster at the start of a busy week which will include the queen's speech. also tonight... at the high court, victory for the postmasters who say their lives were ruined by a faulty computer system. more protests in india against a new citizenship law which is seen to discriminate against the nation's large muslim minority. and the arsenal player mesut ozil criticises china of mistreating ethnic uighur muslims, while beijing accuses him of peddling "fake news". coming up on sportsday on bbc news, brighton's neal maupay strikes against palace. would that be enough to see them get the win to move above them in the premier league?
