Who responded with anti putin chants. The Authorities Say around 30 candidates failed to collect enough valid signatures, but the barred candidates say theyve been blocked for political reasons. The bbcs 0leg boldyrev was at todays demonstration and sent us this report. Police told muscovites not to come out for this unsanctioned protest, but a few thousand people turned up anyway, and very soon many of them paid for it by being dragged into custody. The arrests were met with defiance. So the police are trying to push back the protesters, who came here because the candidates they support were not allowed to participate in the elections. We dont know how many people came to protest, but certainly there are plenty of people angry that the candidates theyve been supporting were denied the chance to participate in the vote. Those who come out despite Police Warnings are used to sights like this, but they voice their anger again and again. Im against these thieves, he says. President putin, moscow mayor, Prime Minister, theyre like a gang, simply taking and taking from russia. Election Authorities Say the grounds for dismissing the candidates are legitimate because signatures gathered in their support were invalid. Well, these citizens are not buying it. The opposition hopes that this anger around city elections will snowball into a wider anti establishment campaign. But, committed as they are, these protesters werent out in the numbers capable of doing that. 0leg boldyrev, bbc news, moscow. Two american teenagers have been questioned by a magistrate in italy in connection with the killing of a policeman in rome. The 35 year old officer with the carabinieri, was repeatedly stabbed early on friday after trying to arrest two people suspected of stealing a bag. According to police, 19 year old finnegan lee elder admitted to killing the officer with a knife, while a second man is accused of being an accomplice to aggravated homicide. Hong kong has been engulfed by huge Anti Government protests for nearly eight weeks now, and its still unclear how china will react to the increasingly violent demonstrations. In the latest confrontation, police fired tear gas at an unauthorised protest held by tens of thousands of people to condemn an attack by armed masked men last week. Nick beake reports from hong kong. Tear gas, rubber bullets, and anger fill the stifling summer air. Welcome to another weekend in hong kong. This is now the rhythm of life. You find a police force trying to contain an eighth consecutive week of demonstrations. And these are the protesters who wont back down tens of thousands of them. Shame on you, they shout, towards officers they say failed to protect them last weekend here in the town of yuen long, near the chinese border. Men in white, suspected to be triad gang members, had attacked pro democracy activists at a metro station, sending more than a0 to hospital. Hong kong police had tried to ban todays march. It didnt work, and once again, as night fell, a hard core of protesters faced up to them. Well, the police have now lost patience. They asked the demonstrators to leave this area, and they havent. Theyve already fired tear gas, and so street by street, theyre coming through, clearing the way. Repairing Public Confidence will be an even harder task. Im very angry, because the police, they are supposed to protect the people in hong kong, the hong kong people. Theyre supposed to protect us. But instead, they did not. They stepped back when the triad attacked people. The police used too much force and violence to the protesters and the citizens, so we are here to demonstrate. Tonight, a show of force to restore order for now, at least. The protesters say theyll be back on the streets tomorrow. Nick beake, bbc news, hong kong. You are watching bbc news. In another policy announcement three days after becoming Prime Minister, borisjohnson has pledged to fund a new high speed rail link between leeds and manchester. He says it will turbocharge the regions, and unlock jobs, boosting growth. He was speaking on a visit to the north west, with the full details of his proposals to be published in the autumn. But labour says the plans are a rehash of past failed promises from the conservatives. 0ur chief political correspondent, vicky young, reports from manchester. Taking his first steps as Prime Minister, borisjohnson is promising a bright, optimistic future. I wasjust thinking that it was actually the metro. But he is not the first conservative to come to manchester offering more investment for the north of england. At the science and industry museum, mrjohnson said action was needed to combat the hopelessness felt by those living in some northern towns. It isnt really the fault of the places, and certainly isnt the fault of the people growing up there. They havent failed. Its we, us, the politicians, our politics, who has failed them. And our plan now, in this new government that i lead, is to unite our country and to level up. He announced a 5. 6 billion fund to improve transport and broadband in 100 towns, and committed to a new fast rail link between manchester and leeds. And as far as im concerned, that is just the beginning of our commitments and our investments. We want to see this whole thing done. Many of the people sitting here have heard warm words about the Northern Powerhouse forfive years, and have had, really, absolutely no progress whatsoever. Are you really going to have the money for all of these other pledges that you have made . The answer to that is yes. And i think the answer to your point about the Northern Powerhouse, which i really want to help deliver, i think its a fantastic idea. Its a fantastic project, and its time has come. Todays been a massive step forward and we should be celebrating that, but keeping the pressure on governmentjust to make sure that commitment is anchored and delivered on. But commuters here are demanding more than one new rail line. It costs £4 here for a single busjourney. £1. 50 in london. How can that be right . So, when it comes to funding, we need the same kind of subsidy that londoners have had for decades. What the north really needs is a crossrail for the north, which would be proper connectivity with newcastle and with hull. Borisjohnson says the investment will open up new opportunities and turbocharge the economy. The Prime Ministers list of promises goes way beyond new railway lines. Social care, broadband, more police, education its all going to cost more money, and its not clear where thats going to come from. So do voters believe what theyre hearing . Its all good. Yeah, all good, so long as it happens. At least hes positive. Yeah, thats what id say positive. Hes very positive and thats what we need. What they promise and what they deliver is always completely different, and i have no faith in Boris Johnson as a Prime Minister. I think anything he can do to make life better for people is good. Whether he can deliver or not, well wait and see. Drawing up a to do list is the easy part. Making it happen is a real challenge. Vicki young, bbc news, manchester. Lets get some of the days other news. The independent mp for sheffield hallam, jared 0mara, says he will resign in september at the start of the new parliamentary term. Once a labour mp, hes now facing twitter accusations from a former aide of not caring about his constituents. Mr 0mara says hes taking time out to deal with personal problems. The Police Service of Northern Ireland has condemned what it called a cowardly attempt to murder its officers by dissident republicans. It says a viable device was recovered after reports of a large bang were heard in craigavon in County Armagh on friday night. A man and a woman from essex have been arrested, after a mass brawl on a british cruise ship. Six others were injured as the p 0 britannia ferry sailed into southampton today from norway.

Stuck in a flood, a train with 20 coaches carrying hundreds of passengers. A river near the tracks overflowed because of several hours of heavy rainfall, which meant the mahalaxmi express could go no further. People were stuck on board for nearly 15 hours. They had run out of food and drinking water. Then, a massive rescue effort was launched. Boats were sent in, and dozens of rescuers. Slowly, they brought everyone out to safety. Nine pregnant women are reported to be among those evacuated. Helicopters had also been put on standby. Mumbai and the areas surrounding it have seen intense rainfall since friday, as have other parts of the country. This is video from rajasthan in western india. Assam, in the countrys north east, is also facing floods. Hundreds have already lost their lives this year in weeks of monsoon rainfall, and in many regions, more bad weather is predicted. The Prosecutors Office in sudan says at least eight military officers will be charged with crimes against humanity over last months killing of pro democracy demonstrators. It happened when Paramilitary Forces fired on demonstrators outside the Army Headquarters in the capital, khartoum. Doctors linked to the opposition say the dead numbered almost 130, but Fath Al Rahman saeed the head of the official Committee Investigating the massacre claimed the total was 87, as he described the moment the killings took place. Translation it was discovered by the committee that there were two anonymous people in the square shooting ammunition. They were also three anonymous people shooting live ammunition at protesters from the top of the building in the medical compound, wearing uniform. You may recall from earlier this month these four United States congresswomen holding a News Conference to respond to racially charged statements made by president donald trump. Representatives alexandria 0casio cortez, rashida tleeb, ilhan 0mar and Ayanna Pressley were told by the president to go back and fix the crime infested places from which they came. Well, now President Trump has targetted yet another democratic representative elijah cummings. Taking to twitter, the president launched his attack on cummings constituency in the eastern us state of maryland, saying its a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess. The president continued saying the district, which includes the majority black city of baltimore, is the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States. And that no human being would want to live there. D watkins is a published author and a professor at the university of baltimore. He said when it comes to the president and his latest comments, the residents of baltimore strive to stay above trumps divisiveness. Hes so disrespectful and hes so rude and he just doesnt even know what he was talking about. Let me talk to you about baltimore. I had a beautiful oatmeal breakfast, took a walk by the lake. Its a beautiful city he is just a racist doing what racists do. What have people in baltimore been saying about these comments . We are working really hard to make baltimore a beautiful city. We are building on the strenght and the power that already exists here. We are fighting against systemic racism which has caused problems in the city. We laugh at the president. Like, when i see people emotional, or choked up or acting theyre crying over what donald trump says, i think its just a joke because nobody takes them seriously. His own Staff Members dont even take him seriously, let alone members of this great city. This isnt the first time weve had comments like this from donald trump. How do you think the Republican Party should be responding when he says things like this and takes to twitter and repeats these comments . So, we know that every republican is not a racist, but, if you are racist, then you are probably a republican. And when we see other republicans cheering him on, retweeting what he says, orjust sitting on the sidelines and not saying anything, we know that they are condoning his racism. We know that they believe him, they support him, and theyjust are pretty much are solidly agreeing on some of the Disgusting Things hes saying. Well, im sure many republicans would dispute your assertion, that if youre racist, youre a republican, but i wonder if part of the problem here is not enough donald Trump Supporters are concerned about this sort of language . Do you think that perhaps it would be better, or are you concerned that some donald Trump Supporters arent coming out enough against this language, even though they might support Donald Trumps policies . I think itjust shows their true colours. If i voted for a person or that person was affiliated with something i believed in and ive seen that person is a evil and hateful and Disgusting Things, the first thing i would do is come up and against it. It would be i am honoured to fight forjustice and to stand up against people who were trying to just say evil things that arent true. Bernal that arent true. This is bbc news, the latest Headlines Police in russia detain more than 1,000 activists over a planned protest against the exclusion of candidates in moscows upcoming elections. There have been violent clashes between police and demonstrators in hong kong, where pro democracy activists were attacked a week ago. Lets stay with that story. Ryan lau is a, formerjournalist, actor and chief executive of his own creative agency. He was beaten by white shirt attackers last weekend. Can attackers last weekend. You tell us what you are d can you tell us what you are doing in the lead up to the attack . On sunday night, i was at home. I was at home all day. I was not participating in any protests or demonstrations. Around 11, i watched the live reporting from the station on my phone and i saw people attacking innocent people, innocent citizens with weapons and there was no policeman and i heard people saying the policeman is not coming and they are helpless, they are trapped in the station and they dont know how to go home. As responsible citizens as a man, i think it is my duty, my obligation, to go there and to save some people from the station. So i drove there around 1130, i arrived there and i tried to calm people down as people who might recognise me and i talk to them so i urged people to leave in groups and actually i drove three kids home and then i go back, i rushed back to the scene and i tried to pick up more but at the same times, they are rushing, they attack people with metal bars the cops. And a wooden stake. I tried to run with the people and when i looked back, there was two men surrounded by ten or more than ten thugs, beating them. It was very dangerous and i try to go back to them and that moment, they target me and attack me with a metal bar and stea k and attack me with a metal bar and steak and then i get hurt. We have seen pictures of the injuries. They are too graphic to show but can you describe how bad your injuries were . Well, i hurt my head. Actually, there are eight stitches on my head. The wound was 3 four inches and i have two stitches on my left leg is and 21 my right elbow and there are many injuries on my back since i was hit by the bars and sticks. At any point during the attack, did you recognise who these people might be 01 recognise who these people might be ordid recognise who these people might be or did you have a theory on who they might be . Obviously they are local gangsters. They are local in yuen long, there are lots of the alleges and gangsters was always a problem in hong kong but as i remember, they never have a chance to demonstrate such violence. In my observation that night and in my opinion, i think the policeman empower them to do the attack. They realised that they have no consequence if they heard any people, if they did anything illegal. We obviously still dont know who might have influenced these games or what they were doing, but the attack must have been incredibly traumatising. What do you think now or how do you feel about the whole movement and protests that have been happening . Is a former journalist, i dont make accusations easily so when i have to make those accusations which mean the general public, namely hong kong people, are very angry and they have the same theory, i talked to many strangers on the street. They show up and express their sympathy to me. Ten of them, they ask a question. Where are we going . What is next . Many of them are very emotional. They are crying in front of me and we are really helpless since our voice was unheard by the government and they start suppressing the voice of people of hong kong by violence, by threat, by illegal gangster. By those unfamiliar ways that are peaceful hong kong people who dont really believe the government will do, should do, and so im really worried about what will happen in hong kong since people are angry and the policeman, they are angry to the people so it is in a very dangerous situation. Thank you so much for sharing what happened to you last week and your thoughts on the situation in hong kong. A former journalist who was attacked by those gangs last weekend. Romanias chief of police has been fired after the apparent murder of a teenage girl whose repeated emergency calls went unanswered for hours. The 15 year old was abducted on wednesday, but managed to make three calls and give officers details about where she was being held. Her family say officers did not take her calls seriously, while police say they had difficulty tracing her. Jon ironmonger reports the kidnap of 15 year old Alexandra Macesanu has sparked outrage throughout romania. Members of her family have joined protests, expressing fury with the Police Handling of the case. The girl rang 112 three times, her aunt says, but they arrived after 19 hours. Thats how long it took for officers to enter this property, despite alexandras repeated calls to the Emergency Services to report her kidnap and to provide details of her location. Six hours were apparently spent waiting for a warrant that wasnt legally required. Once inside, officers found fragments of human bones in a barrel as well as pieces of clothing and jewellery. This man, gheorghe dinca, has been arrested on suspicion of child trafficking. And the 66 year old was forced to be present during the searches of his home. Translation we focussed today on the collection of different types of criminalistic samples. And genetic tests required in order to establish whether there are bone remains belonging to different people. Alexandras abduction bears similarities with the disappearance in april of another local girl, 18 year old luiza melencu. And its now feared her remains could also be found at the property. Translation we dont know anything for now. If she is dead or not. Shes a great child. What can i say . This is outrageous. Responding to the apparent failings in the case, the interior minister said he wouldnt tolerate Police Workers who didnt do theirjob properly and has fired the chief of police, who was made to appear alongside him at a police conference. I accept my dismissal, mr buda said, since we had some inadequate interventions that i hold myself responsible for. The investigation, meanwhile, is rapidly developing. The searches of a lake near the suspects property found a suitcase filled with clothes and remains a partly burnt human body. Chanting. The failure to rescue a teenage girl has shone a spotlight on romanias police and prosecutors, who are under increasing pressure to get a grip on this case. Jon ironmonger, bbc news. Some sad news for disney fans. The voice of minnie mouse for more than 30 years, roosi taylor, has died in california at the age of 75. The Walt Disney Company said roosi taylors passing meant minnie mouse had lost her voice. Taylor married wayne allwine, the voice of mickey mouse until his death in 2009. Prone to gigglesjust like the character she played, taylor captured the sound of minnie in films, on tv and at theme parks. The weather now with matt taylor. Good morning. Bournemouth may have been the hot spot on saturday, 24. 8 celsius. But of note was actually shetland. Blue skies overhead and lerwick had its warmest day in ten years. Some, though, had replaced the heat, humidity, and the sunshine of recent days for cloud and rain. And it was in sussex where we saw over 50 millimetres, two inches of rain fall. This is the weather front responsible. That weather front still with us in roughly the same areas through the day ahead. Either side of it we start with some sunshine. Temperatures in single figures in the countryside in the south west. Still a humid feel further north. But what well see on sunday is something a little bit brighter towards that far south east corner. But much wetter in Northern Ireland. The risk of some minorflooding here. And well see some wet conditions for the isle of man, north wales, northern midlands, and around the Liverpool Bay area, too. A few isolated thunderstorms could develop across scotland and the far north of england later in the day under that easterly wind, given the humidity still in place. But therell be blue skies overhead for the far north of scotland and here we could hit 25 degrees in the north west highlands. Still not far off that across some south western areas, where the sunshine will dominate. If youre stuck under the cloud, its going to be a case of temperatures in the teens again. Now, our weather front will only slowly diminish across the same sort of areas as we go through into sunday night. Some still very heavy rain around the northern portion of the irish sea. Clearest conditions will be across some southern counties of england and wales. And away from towns and cities we could drop down into single figures. But as we go into monday, that weather front is still there, still starting to lose a bit of its oomph for the north. But it will produce lots of cloud. Some low cloud at that, particularly through some eastern coasts. Notice, though, whats gathering towards the south west. It will take until later in the day before that moves in properly. So that does mean across much of wales, the midlands, southern england, lots sunshine to begin monday, a bit of cloud bubbling up, but a very pleasant day all in all with temperatures in the low to mid 20s. Still a fair bit of cloud for the north. Some sunshine breaking through. But not not quite as damp in the afternoon as it will have been in the morning. The best of the sunshine in the north of scotland. But as we go through monday night into tuesday, this area of low pressure starts to push its way into the south west. If youre out camping this will be of note. Because it could not only bring not some widespread thunderstorms wales, the south west, which will spread towards the midlands and other parts of central southern england later, but strong and gusty winds, which could top gale force later in the day as well. Some of the driest and brightest weather will be the further north you are. Still some low cloud across scotland, but temperatures widely into the 20s even with that. And we will see temperatures still in the mid 20s where you get sunshine through this coming week. But thundery showers are likely to become that bit more widespread. Goodbye for now. This is bbc news. The headlines downing street says detailed plans for a high speed train line between manchester and leeds will be published in the autumn.
