punishment for those responsible for this terrible loss of life. china's minister of defence has told asia's largest security conference that his country "won't hesitate for a second" to use force in defence of its claims over taiwan, a day after his american counterpart criticised him for refusing a meeting. tensions between the us and beijing have been on display at the shangri—la dialogue, an annual summit which takes place in singapore. taking to the stage a couple of hours ago, general li shang—fu reiterated china's staunch line that taiwan is its territory, and warned other countries not to interfere there. translation: we will strive | for the prospect of peacefully reunification with most sincerity and greatest efforts, but we make no promise to announce the use of force. if anyone there is to separate

strive to separate taiwan from china the chinese military will not hesitate for a second. we will fear no opponents and resolutely safeguard our territory regardless of any cost. the bbc�*s monica miller is at the summit for us in singapore. certainly took aim at the united states however he may have only called the us by its name once. he referred to it and there was a lot of discussion about the mutual respect or lack thereof. thank ou for respect or lack thereof. thank you forjoining _ respect or lack thereof. thank you forjoining us _ respect or lack thereof. thank you forjoining us on - respect or lack thereof. thank you forjoining us on the - you forjoining us on the programme. i want to find out, what was the key takeaway for you on this speech?— what was the key takeaway for you on this speech? things that aren't really _ you on this speech? things that aren't really surprising - you on this speech? things that aren't really surprising for- aren't really surprising for chinese like me. he speaks about how the region should look like and how china is opposed to the non— inclusiveness of conflict also and so forth. he talked about

china's or interest but i find it mostly interest that president xi talked last october that china has a maximum sincerity and would do its utmost for peaceful reunification. this actually strikes a chord with what i have heard during secretary austin's speech, or the australia pot prime ministers speech when they say conflict is not inevitable. by stressing that utmost sincerity and the utmost efforts, i believe the conclusion is the same, that china is still patient with this issue and china would like to strive for peaceful reunification.- to strive for peaceful reunification. �* ., ., reunification. but he had a very strong _ reunification. but he had a very strong message, - reunification. but he had a very strong message, if i reunification. but he had a l very strong message, if they reunification. but he had a - very strong message, if they do toe that line, they will enact and they will defend what they considered to be an internal issue. ., ., , considered to be an internal issue. ., , ., issue. had to be prepared for the worst _ issue. had to be prepared for the worst scenario _

issue. had to be prepared for the worst scenario but - issue. had to be prepared for the worst scenario but having said that, the use of force is only last resort which i hope will never happen. so this until now is still possible. why did the chinese decide not to sit down with the us? it seems like the one thing they agree on, they need to have a dialogue, but why did they decide not to take this opportunity and meet with the us? �* h, , opportunity and meet with the us? �* u, , . us? because the defence minister _ us? because the defence minister himself - us? because the defence minister himself is - us? because the defence minister himself is being | minister himself is being sanctioned. that is very bizarre and very much ironic in that the actions of the united states, a station on russian companies that sell arms and china,, that company according to the us was found meddling with the american election in 2016 so this kinds of sanctions of the chinese, it was kind of a secondary sanction. the question is because china has nothing to do with any thing

legal, this country has been going now since 1990 and so why shouldn't americans leave the sanctions. if the sanction is there, how can we talk. this is very consequential, let me tell you why, because the defence minister will be in this position for the next five years. just imagine during the five years without the sanctions, he cannot be going to the visit united states and he cannot, how can austin come? he has to be invited. and then about hardline, i think minister lee is a man who will talk most of his hard line. how can they talk to each other? this would be very difficult. this would be very difficult. this should not be very difficult for the united states because the sanction is an executive order, that means biden administration can actually lift it.—

biden administration can actually lift it. before we go, walkin: actually lift it. before we go, walking away _ actually lift it. before we go, walking away with _ actually lift it. before we go, walking away with things - actually lift it. before we go, l walking away with things being more tense or maybe at the of this will we see a store in this will we see a store in this relationship?- this will we see a store in this relationship? during his seech this relationship? during his speech he — this relationship? during his speech he didn't _ this relationship? during his speech he didn't mention i this relationship? during his| speech he didn't mention the united states directlyjust united states directly just some united states directlyjust some countries. that means is still very much control is his words. so generally speaking the cut —— the tone i believe is moderate. he even ruled out the allegations that we do not have contact. we still have contact. through some other channels was up i believe the possibility of talking to each other is still possible at certain that was monica miller there. let's get some of the day's other news now. violence in senegal has

continued for a third day. 15 people have been killed so far in protests following the conviction of the opposition leader ousmane sonko on thursday. clashes between his supporters and police broke out after the court ruling. there have been reports of looting and arson in the capital, dakar. a football match at the stadium of the argentine league leaders, river plate, in buenos aires has been abandoned after a fan fell to his death from the grandstand. the referee suspended play while police and firefighters cordoned the area off, and subsequently abandoned the game. the home office is set to make asylum seekers share hotel rooms to cut costs. the sunday telegraph reports that groups of two, three or four single adult men will share a single room rather than having individual rooms.

the former british prime minister, borisjohnson has been warned that he could lose legal funding if he undermines the government's covid inquiry. in a letter sent by officials, the former prime minister was asked to submit supporting evidence to the cabinet office for security clearance, before being passed on to the inquiry. extracts of this letter were published by the times newspaper. our political correspondent helen catt has more details. borisjohnson is having his legal representation at the covid enquiry paid for in public funds. what this letter was was from the cabinet office to mrjohnson about that. we don't have the full lesser but we have some extracts published ljy we have some extracts published by the sunday times. in one of thoseit by the sunday times. in one of those it said that the funding offer will cease to be available to mrjohnson if he knowingly seeks to frustrate or undermine the government's position in relation to the inquiry inlet —— unless there

is a very clear conflict of interest. the paper also says that later on in the letter he is told he has to send any witness —— provide to the enquiry to the cabinet office first so it can be security checked and he needs to make any necessary reductions that they say before submitting it to the inquiry as part of the terms of keeping the public money for his legal advice. to hong kong now where a number of rights activists have been detained by the police on the eve of the thirty—fourth anniversary of the tiananmen square massacre in beijing. the activists were stopped near a key location where vigils used to be held for the pro—democracy protesters who were killed by the military in 1989. such vigils have now been banned after china imposed a national security law on the territory. the artist sanmu chen,

who had been chanting "don't forgetjune fourth", was amongst those put into police vans after peacefully walking in the neighbourhood where thousands once gathered annually for a tiananmen memorial. live now to los angeles with samuel chu, president of the campaign for hong kong. thank you forjoining us here on the programme. 3a years on, in terms of the legacy, what do you think has changed?- you think has changed? thank ou for you think has changed? thank you for having _ you think has changed? thank you for having me. _ you think has changed? thank you for having me. i _ you think has changed? thank you for having me. ithink- you think has changed? thank| you for having me. i think that over the last 20 some years, hong kong was the only place on chinese soil where the public mention and reference and remembrance of tiananmen was allowed and what the national security law and really also aided by the coronavirus pandemic measures have done is that it allows the chinese government to do what is on the mainland which is to ban and try to eradicate any of the

memories and public demonstration of this event and this massacre that took place. i wonder if you could just tell us a story of your father. for me this _ us a story of your father. for me this is — us a story of your father. for me this is a _ us a story of your father. for me this is a very _ us a story of your father. er?" me this is a very important piece of history. i actually marched with the first of the million hongkongers marched in 95 in support of the tenements square students. my father was actually responsible for smuggling the student and protester who escaped tiananmen square in 89 so i had a front row seat 30 some years ago, 3a years ago where it really change the trajectory of not just my family's feature but it also changed my trajectory of my life and so i think that is what the chinese government and the beijing government does not necessarily understand is that every action of trying to erase

they are provoking an equal opposite reaction in people like me and my father. when you say you change the trajectory of your life, and your family's life, trajectory of your life, and yourfamily�*s life, does trajectory of your life, and your family's life, does that mean you had to leave? i think it has been _ mean you had to leave? i think it has been well-documented, | it has been well—documented, over the few years, i've been overseeing and helping to spearhead the international support for the pro—democracy faction in hong kong, and i had to leave in the early 90s because of safety concerns before the handover and if my family had stayed in hong kong, and to demonstrate that this is notjust and to demonstrate that this is not just something that and to demonstrate that this is notjust something that is within the chinese border, i was the first foreign national, as a us citizen to be wanted under the national security law that it was implemented, and that's the kind of oppression that's the kind of oppression that i think china is trying to impose on to hong kong but also

to censor this kind of remembrance and mentioning of tiananmen square, changing the narrative all around the world. as china refuses to acknowledge tiananmen square, the original was removed in hong kong of december 2021, was removed in hong kong of december2021, but was removed in hong kong of december 2021, but resurrected in berlin recently. i december 2021, but resurrected in berlin recently.— in berlin recently. i 'ust returned i in berlin recently. i 'ust returned from i in berlin recently. ijust returned from berlin i in berlin recently. ijustl returned from berlin this afternoon where we erected a full—size replica, and i think this is the one of the most significant examples of what the opposite reaction looks like, that the pillow, the regional pellet that was removed from hong kong university almost two years ago, ora university almost two years ago, or a year university almost two years ago, ora yearand university almost two years ago, or a year and a half, with really, for a while, people forgot it was in hong kong, but now that they have removed it, they have simply made the idea behind it much more contagious, much more resilient, and that's what you see now, replicas and

of this springing up everywhere around the world and i'm so proud that we were able to display this replica in berlin, and i think you will see this all around the world, and have seen this all around the world. president of the campaign to hong kong, thank you very much for your time. and animal rising activists was detained by police in the epsom derby. just one of the numerous protests which have been taking place at major sporting events in the past few months. it started with a protest back in april at the uk's biggest horse racing event, the grand national. animal rising activists gained access onto the racecourse and managed to delay the race by about 1k minutes, and more than 100 protesters were arrested. they say they were concerned for the horse's welfare but organisers of the men say the animals are

well cared for, and there were more horse deaths this year, and one trainer blamed protesters, saying they worked up protesters, saying they worked up the horses before the event. then, this happened just a few days later, at the snooker world championships were oil protesters climbed onto tables and sprayed orange powder, two people arrested. the orange powder was seen again here, at the rugby premiership final between saracens and sale sharks, two people were arrested. they managed to stop play for about 30 minutes and then, epsom derby, where an animal rising protester gained access onto the racecourse, they were detained by police, but they failed to stop the race. now more than 30 protesters were arrested at this event. these high—profile events do provide a clear opportunity for groups to preach their cause, particularly when the world's

eyes are watching. the question is we are — whether we are in for an entire summer of sporting protests. there's been more violent protests by left—wing activists in the german city of leipzig. they're angered by the five—year sentence given to a woman convicted of vigilante attacks on right—wing extremists. police granted permission for a public gathering, but banned demonstrations after the groups encouraged violence against property. demonstrations against the israeli government's plans for a radical overhaul of the judiciary have taken place for a twenty—second successive week. tens of thousands again took to the streets, with the rally beginning with a commemoration of the three israeli soldiers killed on the egyptian border on saturday. chinese astronauts from the shenzhou—15 mission have returned to earth after six months on the chinese space station. after completing the second in—orbit handover of the station's control to a new crew, they landed

at the prepared site in the autonomous region of inner mongolia in northern china. to the world of fashion now and british vogue editor—in—chief edward enninful is stepping down from his role after six years at the top magazine. the ghanian—british creative is the first black man to hold the title and will now move into a newly created role aimed at growing the brand globally. chrissy rutherford, former special projects director at harper's bazaar told us about his future and legacy. i don't know those specifics but i do know that he's obviously transitioning into more of an advisor role at conde nast where he will still report to anna but i think he will be more advising what's going on at british vogue and also taking on other projects, it seems.

so i think there's always a lot of opportunities floating around in the fashion world so i think this will give him an opportunity to still have a hand in what's going on at british vogue but also to perhaps work more closely with some brands that he has relationships with, or who knows what is possible for him? describing his vision for the magazine, enninful said: "i wanted to reflect what i saw growing up, to show the world as this incredibly rich, cultured place. we really saw edward raise the bar for what a fashion magazine could look like at a time where i think a lot of magazines are struggling, whether it's layoffs, being folded, very small teams, very small budgets, and he also really showed us what an inclusive magazine looks like, whether it was race, size, abilities and other identities, i think from his very first issue with the british model adwoah on the cover, who is a black model. there are so many ways in which he helped to reflect what the world really looks like. he gave us rihanna in a durag that i think most black people never imagined they would see on the cover of a major fashion magazine and i think edward really was able to still

give us that fashion fantasy while tackling issues that are really important to us around the world, including elevating marginalised voices. you know, edward really worked his way up, he got his start as a model and then became the fashion direct at id at around 18, i believe. and seeing him become the editor—in—chief of british vogue in 2017 i think was just a really proud moment for the entire black community in the fashion industry and i think he really made the most of that opportunity, as i mentioned before, you know, he's really helped to raise the bar on what fashion magazines should look like and that includes reflecting what the world really looks like.

later today, a group of six female rowers will set off on an epic challenge, rowing 2000 miles around the entire coast of great britain. it's the toughest rowing race in the world, and it they complete it, the team will smash a couple of world records, all while contributing to science. our environment correspondent jonah fisher has more. this is known as the world's toughest rowing race for a reason stop women range in age from 29 to 53. if they make it, theirjourney from 29 to 53. if they make it, their journey will take them 2000 miles around the coast of great britain. without ever setting foot on land. aiming is the youngest crewmember, but the youngest crewmember, but the only one to have road across the atlantic ocean. this is so much _ across the atlantic ocean. this is so much tougher— across the atlantic ocean. try 3 is so much tougher than the atlantic. ., ., , _ atlantic. navigating busy coastal waters _ atlantic. navigating busy coastal waters can i atlantic. navigating busy coastal waters can be i atlantic. navigating busy. coastal waters can be more dangerous than following a course through the open sea. you have to think about the weather, it changes direction almost every few hours, the

north to scotland. a huge good luck to them! do stay with us here on bbc news, plenty more coming up. hello there. this fine, settled, dry and sunny spell set to continue throughout this weekend and indeed into much of next week as well. so largely dry and settled thanks to high pressure. always warmest and sunniest out towards the west, a little bit cool and cloudy at times closer to the north sea coasts but many places will stay dry bar the odd shower. the centre of our high pressure system sitting out towards the north—west of the uk, so we'll always have this east, north—easterly airflow which will be fresh over the next few days across the southeast corner, and it will drag in low cloud into eastern england and the midlands for the early part of sunday. northern and eastern scotland also cloudy, but clearer skies further west temperatures 4—9 degrees. sunday morning starting off a little bit grey in central

and eastern areas, the cloud should burn back to the coast. elsewhere plenty of sunshine, just the chance of an afternoon shower developing across scotland and northern ireland. very isolated, mind you, most places will stay dry, and again, the best of the temperatures towards the north and the west, bit cooler along north sea coasts. and then through sunday night, with that breeze in place across east—southeast england, it'll drag that low cloud back westwards across much of central, southern and eastern england, also northern and eastern scotland. clearer skies out towards the west. and temperatures again ranging from around 4—9 degrees for many of us. we do it all again to start the new week monday. a bit of a grey start central and eastern areas, that cloud slowly burning back to the coast, a bit more breeze again across the southeast, just pegging temperatures back. the chance of an isolated shower again for scotland and northern ireland, but very isolated, most places dry. top temperatures again up to close to the mid 20s but generally the low 20s here, cooler along north sea coasts. same too for tuesday, a bit more cloud across eastern scotland, eastern england, with more of a breeze here. the best of the sunshine towards the south and the west. again, the low 20s at best

but low to mid or high—teens along some north sea coasts. then some subtle changes towards the end of the week — this area of low pressure will hurtle towards our shores, throwing up some showers to southern and western areas but with a change in wind direction coming in from the south or southeast we could import some warmer air off the near continent towards the end of the week, certainly across parts of england. so many places will be dry but showers could increase across southern and western areas towards the end of the week but it'll be noticeably warming up.

opposite reaction in people like me and my father.

this is bbc news, the headlines: two separate investigations have been launched into the circumstances that led to the devastating train crash in the eastern indian state of odisha. rescue efforts have now ended after the county's worst rail crash this century. 288 people are now known to have died and more than 1,000 have been injured. china's minister of defence tells asia's largest security conference that his country "won't hesitate for a second" to use force in defence of its claims over taiwan. general li shang—fu reiterated it is china's territory, and warned other countries not to interfere. that comes a day after his american counterpart criticised him for refusing a meeting.
