And all the rest of it. Weve got to prepare for no deal. The home secretary is examining how the families of Police Officers killed or injured on duty can be better supported after the death of pc Andrew Harper in berkshire. A suicide bomb attack on a wedding in the afghan capital, kabul, kills more than 60 people and injures 200 others. Thousands of homes lose power moments after the three remaining cooling towers at didcot power station in 0xfordshire are demolished. And foreign correspondents based in london give an outsiders view of events in the uk, in this weeks dateline thats in half an hour. Good morning. Riot police have cleared roads in hong kong after a brief stand off with pro democracy protesters, as the political crisis in the city continues into its 11th week. This is the scene live in hong kong at the moment. Protesters are preparing to march from Victoria Park to chater garden, without official permisson from the authorities. 0ur china correspondent Stephen Mcdonell sent us the latest from hong kong. There is traffic gridlock in the heart of hong kong. I am standing on one of these flyovers are no traffic can get through. These cars are not moving and the reason for that is this is the rally at Victoria Park. It is absolutely full, rammed with people and if we pan down to the side, you can see all the streets surrounding the park are completely full of protesters. They havent been given permission to march, but thats what is happening due to necessity. There are hundreds of thousands of people here, theyjust cannot fit in there. If we walk down we can get a bit of a better idea of it. It just shows we can get a bit of a better idea of it. Itjust shows how many people will turn out in hong kong to a peaceful rally. The message this weekend has been to try and get back toa weekend has been to try and get back to a peaceful message, to win over support of the general public and despite the driving rain, despite the thunder and lightning, in their hundreds and thousands, people have turned out. And it doesnt seem to matter they dont have permission to march in the streets, there is so many here, that there is no way the authorities are going to go and arrest such a significant proportion of the population here. We can see over this side, going off in another direction, people moving towards causeway bay and every street you come into around here, you can see how many people there are, even down there, and absolute sea of umbrellas. People in hong kong are used to the weather, so a bit of driving rain isnt going to turn them away. And another reason for this turnout i think, yesterday there was a pro beijing rally, a much smaller rally, significant numbers though, potential 100,000 so i think numbers though, potential 100,000 so ithink in numbers though, potential 100,000 so i think in the pro democracy camp they wanted to try and top that. That is why we are seeing the hundreds and thousands of people here today. Subway stations nearby have been shut down even another subway close to the beijing Governments Office he has also been shut down. Because they are worried these protesters might get in the subway and go to the beijing government liaison office, which has been the scene of clashes before. But for most people here, i think they are planning to, as you can see again, the sea of umbrellas, they are planning to keep it peaceful. Trying to get the message out that the Pro Democracy Movement here is, asi the Pro Democracy Movement here is, as i say, a peaceful one despite the violence we have seen. It seems to have been successful, the message from those who have organised this rally, telling people not to bring their helmets and their gas masks. Bring your umbrellas though and to come and chant, and demand the democratic reforms they so seek and to defend hong kongs freedoms as they exist. Borisjohnson is to meet top eu leaders in the next few days as he makes his case for a new brexit deal. The Prime Minister will meet the german chancellor, angela merkel, on wednesday and the french president , emmanuel macron, on thursday in mrjohnsons first foreign visit. Meanwhile, leaked government documents have warned of major disruption in the event of a no deal brexit, including shortages of food, fuel and medicines. John mcmanus reports. 0peration yellowhammer, marked 0fficial, sensitive, not meant for public eyes. Its the governments own comprehensive assessment of the implications of a no deal brexit. Boris johnson, who became Prime Minister less than a month ago, is adamant that britain will leave the European Union on the 31st of october, come what may. That robust position reflects his assertion that the Withdrawal Agreement must be dropped. The eu says thats not on the cards. What happens, then, if neither side budges . Among the consequences envisaged in the leaked report, major disruption at channel ports because up to 85 of hauliers are not ready for french customs procedures. That could mean long queues for lorries, and blocked roads which could last for three months. There would be disruption to supplies of fresh food, meaning price rises hitting the poorest hardest. Medical supplies, three quarters of which come via channel ports, may be delayed, and there could be clashes between eu and british Fishing Vessels in uk waters. The reports authors also warned that rising tensions will lead to protests and a jump in crime. Perhaps most damagingly, the report says efforts to prevent the return of a hard border between the republic of ireland and Northern Ireland will probably be unsustainable. This leak from the government published in the sunday times makes for stark reading. The Cabinet Office is the department tasked with coordinating the government, that is, the Prime Ministers objectives. Borisjohnson has said that much of the preparation for a new deal has been done. This report contradicts that. I think there is a lot of scaremongering around and a lot of people are playing into project fear and all the rest of it. We have got to prepare for no deal. The previous Prime Minister created dexeu and the mandate of dexeu last summer was to prepare for no deal. As leaks go, the timing couldnt be more embarrassing. Borisjohnson is due to meet european leaders later this week. Supporters of brexit have labelled concerns about a new deal as project fear, and past warnings of economic meltdown have been wide of the mark. But it seems that some in government are forecasting the worst. John mcmanus, bbc news. Jeremy corbyn has reiterated his call for mps to back him as a caretaker Prime Minister if borisjohnson loses a vote of no confidence. Mr corbyn faces opposition from some conservatives and the liberal democrats. The shadow minister, Laura Pidcock told sky news the labour leaders plan was the best hope of stopping a no deal brexit. I think it is quite strange, if im honest, that we are considering other options. Constitutionally that is the right thing to do, but lets consider the inverse. Ifjeremy wasnt doing this, if he wasnt trying to reach out across to all sides of the house of commons, what would people say . He is absolutely doing the right thing to avert this no deal brexit that we have said in our manifesto, that we have said time and time again in the house of commons, that other Political Parties have committed to. The only way to do that is to get behind Jeremy Corbyn so that he can have this time limited period as a caretaker Prime Minister to avert a no deal brexit. Lets speak now to the lib dem brexit spokesman, tom brake. He joins us via webcam from south london. Good morning, thank you for being with us this morning. Let me take at that point first, as we heard from the labour party, he is the leader of the opposition, it is logical that if the Prime Minister falls, the queen would ask for someone else to try to form a government and the obvious person for some at that point, is the leader of the opposition . Indeed it is the leader of the opposition who can trigger a motion of no confidence in the government. The problem is, there are now so many conservative x labour mps for instance, who said they would not supportJeremy Corbyn asa they would not supportJeremy Corbyn as a Prime Minister, albeit a temporary Prime Minister, that is not going to happen. Even i suspect, the snp who has said warm things about this, i suspect the price they will try to extract is a second referendum which Jeremy Corbyn will try to extract is a second referendum whichJeremy Corbyn would have to reject. It is not going to happen and that is why we have suggested an jo swinson happen and that is why we have suggested anjo swinson has suggested anjo swinson has suggested that perhaps ken clarke or people like harriet harman, people perceive to be less controversial and to some extent, above the political fray, that we would have a better prospect of securing a majority behind them than we would behind Jeremy Corbyn. In the end, none of this is likely to prevent a no deal brexit is it . The government published a report during the course of the week where they said fundamentally, the ball is in the governments court. At the moment parliament isnt sitting so that restricts the ability for mps to influence what happens. Even if parliament is sitting, the time needed to take control of the government and take the agenda away from the government and produce legislation which would amend the existing law which says we leave on the 31st of october, isnt going to be available to you . It could be available, but i agree the timing is very tight and that is why over 100 members of parliament, including me, have signed a letter calling on the government to recall parliament so we can have more time to debate this and also to hold borisjohnson to account over no deal preparations. It is all very well him saying everything is under control but that leak, 0peration yellowhammer suggested a different scenario. The likely scenario is food, fuel and medicine shortages. This is something we may have experienced perhaps in wartime in the second world war, but this is something our government are going to inflict on Us Government are going to inflict on us in peace time and that must be unprecedented. The report also suggests this is the document that came out of the Cabinet Office, Michael Goves department, the man who is supposed to be preparing for a no deal brexit. It says the proposals regards the irish border, which the government said there would be no need for any kind of checks on the irish border, no need for a hard border to be restored, that, according to this document is unsustainable. You must be kind of quite taken aback to see it put so boldly by the government when the government has insisted there is no reason for these checks to be put in place . We have been saying for the last three years, the border between ireland and Northern Ireland, there was no solution that allowed us to leave the European Union and then not to be a hard border. At least pa rt not to be a hard border. At least part of government in this leaked report are confirming that. What that means is, the community on that border, who have expressed very serious concerns to me about the fear of the troubles resuming, because there would be some sort of infrastructure on the border, doesnt necessarily have to be at the border itself, but even if it is some distance from the border, but those who want to cause trouble will start targeting. Those are the views of people in south armagh, during the troubles experienced 300 murders in that particular region. The government have simply pretended this wasnt an issue. At least there is one part of government, as leaked in this report which confirms this isa in this report which confirms this is a major problem and incidentally, a problem which the us has said, if that border is jeopardised, we are not going to get a trade deal with them. So we seem to be in a real pickle here. Tom brake, the liberal democrat spokesman, thank you very much. The home secretary, priti patel, says more needs to be done to support the families of Police Officers who are killed or injured at work. Pc Andrew Harper died of multiple injuries as he responded to a suspected burglary in berkshire on thursday night. Charlotte simpson reports. Colleagues, friends and the local Community Pay tribute to Police ConstableAndrew Harper where he lost his life. Almost exactly a month ago, the pc was getting married. He should have been heading off on his honeymoon next week. A postmortem showed that the Police Officer died from multiple injuries. Detectives are still trying to establish why a call to investigate a burglary ended in tragedy. His death has highlighted the danger that officers face in their everyday work. The home secretary says the country must do more to recognise the sacrifice made by officers. Writing in the sunday telegraph, priti patel says she has instructed the home office to urgently explore what we can do to better support the families of our brave Police Officers, who are seriously injured or worse by cowardly criminals. She said pc harper was the very best of british policing. The hunt for evidence continues at a council run caravan site in west berkshire. Several road closures in the surrounding area are in place. Detectives now have until midnight tonight to question the ten people currently being held in custody. The Thames Valley force has described this as a complex investigation, both a professional and personal challenge, as they try to solve the murder of a much loved officer who was one of their own. Charlotte simpson, bbc news. Kent police have named the six year old boy who is missing after he fell into the river stour, near the town of sandwich, yesterday. Lucas dobson fell into the water while out fishing. Specialist diving teams and Emergency Services are being supported by a large group of public volunteers in the search. Sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre tojoin 0lly foster to join 0lly foster with the latest. Good morning. Play has resumed at lords, the final day of the second ashes series, england lead by 104 and have 6 wickets in hand. Any result is possible. Lets head live to the ground and speak to our sports correspondentjoe wilson. Morning joe, we are not going to get a full days play, what is the forecast . So many potential scenarios were running through my mind and the one thing i wasnt expecting was a rain delay. It is only light drizzle but with every minute of play we lose, the chances of either team having enough time in the day even if we played until 7pm, to force a winning situation will diminish. It could still happen. England will resume four wickets down with a lead of 104 but if australia took six england wickets in an hour and find themselves batting up to 30 pm 3pm with 160 to win, it could still happen. We havent given up on the potential excitement just yet. Yesterday, it was exciting, Jonathan Agnew said it was frightening as well, the fast bowling in purest form intimidating. The Australian Cricketers Association have criticised the booing of steve smith saying, enough is enough. This is when he came back out following the sickening blow to the back of his neck from archer bouncer . Yes, i can com pletely neck from archer bouncer . Yes, i can completely understand it. They are perfectly within their rights to pursue that statement. It is all about context. At edgbaston there billing, sandpaper songs directed at smith and also warner and bancroft. We can see that as banter, but yesterday was different. When steve smith fell to the ground after being struck in the neck by a bouncer, in my mount and lots of Australian Mines in the ground went back to one specific incident and that was the death of philip hughes, struck in a very similar way. When steve smith stood up i felt an overwhelming sense of relief. When he came back to back, you couldnt do anything except admire his bravery. The fact that some people chose, at that moment, to start singing sandpaper songs and billing, they could say it is their right to do that, but it is equally other peoples right to criticise them for doing it. Joe wilson, many thanks lets hope when lynn xp, the brolly is gone and the final day of the second text. Second test. There are two more matches in the premier league this afternoon. Its chelseas first match at home, they ve got leicester. Itll be a homecoming for frank lampard, the clubs record goalscorer and now their manager. The blues had a chastening 4 0 defeat at Manchester United on the opening day and they also lost to liverpool in the Uefa Supercup in istanbul midweek. Proud to manage this club. Been back to Stamford Bridge a couple of times since i left as a player and was lucky enough to have really good support on both those times and i obviously dont forget the times i had here as a player. It is going to be an emotional, special day for me but that is just for me but the most important thing for us is we win. That is what i am really worried about. The early kick off is Sheffield United against Crystal Palace both sides drew their opening matches. And we have the last two games in the second round of the Scottish League cup quarterfinal places at stake for dundee, aberdee, east fife and rangers. Some terribly sad news in rugby league. Batley bulldogs archie bruce has died. The 20 year old scrum half made his debut for the championship side yesterday against toulouse. He was found dead in his hotel room this morning. The club say they are deeply saddened and are supporting his family. The squad has delayed its return to the uk. French authorities are trying to find out exactly the cause of death. We will have more on that as we get it and we will have more support in the next hour. 0lly foster, thank you very much, some shocking news from the world of by. Police are investigating after guardian journalist 0wen jones was kicked in the head by a group of men outside a pub. Jones said he had been celebrating his birthday with friends when the men made a direct beeline for him in the early hours of saturday. Labour leaderJeremy Corbyn said an attack on a journalist was an attack on free speech and our fundamental values. The met said it was working to establish the full circumstances. Joining me now is the guardian columnist 0wen jones. Thank you for coming into talk about this. This was the early hours of yesterday morning, you had been out for the evening, how are you approached . We had gone for a nightcap in the pub and we left, about six of us. Six of us at 3am and we were about 30 metres away. I didnt see it because i had my back to the pub at these three to four men charged out of the pub, made a direct beeline for me, kicked me in the back, threw me on the floor, kicked me in the head and my friends tried to wrestle them off and were all punched and then they scarpered. There is no question whatsoever, it was me they were after. Six of standing there together. But they went straight for you, that is what your friends saw . Yes, i was their target. It is very important this isnt just about me, target. It is very important this isntjust about me, by target. It is very important this isnt just about me, by the target. It is very important this isntjust about me, by the way, i have been on the receiving end of increasing far right attacks, james goddard, followers of Tommy Robinson so called, the convicted thug. In the streets, i have had previously had people trying to punch me and yelling homophobic abuse. A few weeks ago a far right figure took pictures of me in a pub and posted it online with messages along the lines of we know where you live, we know where you are, we will get you. U nfortu nately for know where you are, we will get you. Unfortunately for my friends, it was a case of this is terrible but it was going to happen. What is important is to understand, i am this white guy with a media platform and they are members of minorities out there who are being targeted and physically attacked. There is a rise ofan physically attacked. There is a rise of an increasingly violent far right in British Society and the broad which feels emboldened, which is increasingly violent. We have at the murder of a labour increasingly violent. We have at the murder ofa labourmp, increasingly violent. We have at the murder of a labour mp, the murder of jo cox, another mp, rosie cooper, and attempted far right terrorist attack on her. We had darren 0sborne, he ploughed into a mosque and said he wanted to killJeremy Corbyn and sadik khan. So with the context of certainly it seems unthinkable this was anything other than politically motivated. Just in terms of what happened yesterday morning, they didnt say anything to you . It was very difficult when you are suddenly on the floor being kicked in the head. I have had evidence since, which i cannot discuss. You have told the police . I cannot talk about it but it suggests political motivation. The broader sense you have is you have been aware of a growing tendency to threaten violence and then also this is the follow up to it . Threaten violence and then also this is the followup to it . We live in a society where on the front pages of newspapers you have enemies of people, traitors, saboteurs and that is how people are discussed in politics where we have minorities having hatred whipped up against them. Unfortunately by mainstream politicians, the president of the United States has been a striking example. But also members of the british political elite as what it does is fuel and emboldened far right dogs, they feel legitimised and emboldened by the wider context of whipping up hatred against minorities and people on the political left who are seen as traitors. When i was attacked earlier this year by james traitors. When i was attacked earlier this year byjames goddard and others, they were yelling things at me that were factually wrong. They have read that stuff in the media and that is how people in politics are described. When we talk about islamic radicalisation, who are the hate preachers who are radicalising them when we have people in Mainstream Media outlets, who are legitimising this rising threat that we have to take seriously. Thanks very much. In afghanistan, more than 60 people have been killed after a bomb exploded at a wedding ceremony in kabul. More than 180 people were injured when a suicide bomber detonated explosives inside the reception hall. The taliban have denied carrying out the attack. The three remaining didcot power station cooling towers have been demolished in a controlled explosion this morning. Minutes after the demolition, thousands of people in the area said they had suffered a temporary power cut. The coal fired station was turned off in 2013, after more than 40 years in service. 0ur correspondent Louisa Currie is there with more. The skyline here is very different to what it was just before 7am this morning. These cooling towers have dominated the skyline here in didcot for more than half a century. It took just seconds for them to be demolished and come tumbling down. The demolition has been going on here since the site was turned off in 2013. The six cooling towers originally here, three were demolished in 2014 and hundreds of people turned out to watch, as they have done today. In 2016, tragedy struck and you might remember four men were killed . They were working on preparatory works on another building on site here which collapsed. Three years and there is a huge investigation into what caused that collapse. Thames Valley Police and the health and safety executive are trying to establish if there are any charges to be answered, potentially manslaughter charges or any breaches of health and safety guidelines. But today, the demolition centred around the three remaining cooling towers. It really is the end of an era for didcot, a complete change to the skyline. It leaves just one large chimney remaining which is due to be finally demolished in the autumn. With me now is our correspondent charlotte gallagher. 0riginally when the story started to appear, people are saying they were having problems with their power. Brea kfast having problems with their power. Breakfast this morning, you and david, he managed the power station all those years ago, he laughed and said it is probably the power station that caused it. Sse, the company said no, no its nothing to do with that, but they have changed their tune . Yes, it is a bit of a coincidence these cooling towers get demolished and then 49,000 homes lose power. It would be strange. Also people watching the demolition, they saw a pile on nearby go up in flames. As you said, scottish and Southern Electricity Networks have said it probably is connected to the power cuts, which affected quite a lot of homes in the area. They say they dont know how it happened and they dont know how it happened and they are investigating. But for a lot of people, they said it has got to be, this huge explosion has caused this. It does look like people have been reconnected so people have been reconnected so people have been reconnected so people have got their electricity back, but not a great start for a lot of people on a sunday morning, waking up without any electricity. Lot of people on a sunday morning, waking up without any electricitylj suppose waking up without any electricity. suppose the context of this that makes it kind of more potentially worrying is, we had the big outage in the National Grid just ten days ago and people are going to keep looking at all sorts of reasons. How resilient is our power supply system . Resilient is our power supply system . That power cut ten days ago caused a massive amount of disruption. I tried to get a train andi disruption. I tried to get a train and i couldnt get a train and there we re and i couldnt get a train and there were thousands of people trying to get trains. I think people were saying it took them nine hours to get from aberdeen to london, people stranded in the middle of nowhere. It did cause a lot of problems and they will be a proper investigation into what happened. That was such a massive outage that affected so many people. But it does look like, in this case this morning, thankfully for people in 0xfordshire, this was a small problem that was resolved fairly, fairly quickly. Fingers crossed, next time they decide to demolish something they will not be another power cut. We hope not. Time for a look at the weather, thomas is at the map. Bit of a mixed bag for some of us today, showers expected across scotla nd today, showers expected across scotland and Northern Ireland, may bea scotland and Northern Ireland, may be a crack of thunder and still breezy. Further south and east you are today, the drier and brighter the weather is going to be. This is what it looks like around lunchtime and into the afternoon. Sunny skies with temperatures in the low 20s in the south, mid or high teens across scotla nd the south, mid or high teens across scotland and Northern Ireland. Clear spells with further showers expected this evening and overnight. Again, most frequent showers in the north west of the country. Tonights lows will dip down to 12 degrees in london, around 10 degrees in aberdeen so more or less the same whether in the north and south. 0n monday, you can see further showers expected across northern parts of the uk, but to the south we have lots of sunshine
