And this weeks travel show explores the island of hokkaido in japan where they go hunting and take part in an International Dance competition. Good afternoon. Borisjohnson is to meet the german chancellor and the french president in the coming days, to make the case for a new brexit deal. The visits, to Angela Merkel on wednesday and Emmanuel Macron on thursday, are the first mrjohnson has made since becoming Prime Minister. Leaked government documents have warned of major disruption in the event of a no deal brexit, including shortages of food, fuel and medicines. The minister in charge for preparations for a no deal brexit, michael gove has denied the leak tweeting. 0ur Political Correspondent mark lobel reports. Borisjohnson has been getting his message out on law and order, the nhs and no deal preparations. This week he will enter the International Stage meeting europes top two power brokers, but without a deal in sight. He wants them to know parliament wont stop brexit and this weekend again warned mps from doing that. Writing, the so called efforts to prevent no deal are in fact making no deal more likely. But todays sunday times leak of classified documents showing their contingency plans for a no deal make for painful reading. A risk the country should not be taken, according to a former head of the Civil Service who now advises labour and has called for a second brexit referendum. Part of serving the government of the day is to give them honest advice of the risks. In my personal view, these risks are completely insane for this country to be taking. In the Cabinet Office document written in the past month it shows plans to avoid a hard border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland are unlikely to prove sustainable. And it predicts freight disruption at ports caused by customs checks that could impact the supply of fresh food and some medicines. 0ne brexiteer this morning was keen to play down its significance. I think theres a lot of scaremongering around and a lot of people are playing into project fear and all the rest of it. We got to prepare for no deal, in fact, the previous Prime Minister created dexeu and said the mandate of it last year, last summer was to prepare for no deal. To avoid a no deal brexit labour pledge a vote of no confidence when mps return in a fortnight which could usher in a Jeremy Corbyn led unity government. 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, and other Political Parties have committed to. The only way to do that is to get behind Jeremy Corbyn. That such bitter political divisions exist will make borisjohnsons task in europe only more difficult. The labour mp, Stephen Doughty is one of more than 100 mps to write a letter to the Prime Minister demanding parliament is recalled. Hes with me now. Why have you written the letter . Because we face a national emergency. We have a reckless Prime Minister trying to drag us into an undemocratic no deal brexit and parliament isnt sitting and we cannot hold the government to account and billions of pounds of taxpayers money are being pulled down the drain with no real preparations and across the parties we will not stand for that and we wa nt to we will not stand for that and we want to hold him to account. There may be scepticism about this desire to hold the government to account and the desire to do something. Parliament sat for many months after theresa may agreed the deal with the European Union and it couldnt pass through. We need the time and that is why we should be engaging in the discussion is necessary to find a way forward through this. We have people who signed this letter who come from all different perspectives on how to deal with the brexit crisis. But we are not on the government is taking reckless decisions and there is no democratic mandate for a no deal and we are the elected representatives of the people and we should be able to put the people in our constituencies views to the Prime Minister. You can understand from the governments point of view why they might see other motives in this letter. As you say, you dont want a no deal brexit, the government says its not the preferred choice but it may come down to that. The suspicion would be if parliament were recalled it would be used as an opportunity to try to wrestle control away from the government, which after all is the government . It was all about taking back control and parliament, at the centre of democracy, and has been for thousands of years, it is the ciux for thousands of years, it is the crux of our democracy, we should be able to hold the government to account, parcels and question ministers. At the moment we cannot do that and then we are only back for another couple of weeks and then another recess for three weeks. It is an extraordinary situation and it isnt tenable, given some of the extraordinary comments and decisions being taken. Why didnt you send this letter in july . Many mps did express his concerns and a number of mps express his concerns and a number of m ps voted express his concerns and a number of mps voted against the recess for the summer. Mps voted against the recess for the summer. People hoped for a different approach from the government. They thought he was going to engage in serious negotiations. He hasnt come instead has taken this reckless approach encouraged by dominic cummings. The newspaper story we saw today, 0peration yellowhammer story. They say it is realistic planning for what may happen on the 31st of 0ctober if we dont have a deal, michael gove is in charge of this now and says, these are outdated and worst case scenarios. Now and says, these are outdated and worst case scenarios. We have done the preparations, it isnt going to be like this, people need to stop worrying. It is disappointing because the fact is these are very serious documents and they talk about not only the economic damage but the damage to peace and stability, if there is a hard border on the island of ireland although also the security, if you leave without agreements, it will make it easierfor without agreements, it will make it easier for criminals, who wish our country ill to be able to do what they want to do. It is an extraordinary situation to be contemplating as a government but they are putting geology first. Dominic cummings had two weeks before he became chief adviser to the Prime Minister, if necessary ideas have to be rammed down peoples throats, practically at gunpoint. That is extraordinary from the Prime Ministers chief adviser, who is unelected especially after the death of our colleague, jo cox. It shows he is willing to put anything above the national interest. Assuming the government doesnt respond to this letter in the way you hope and you have to wait until the beginning of september, do you think it will be possible to act and intervene on this and perhaps force the government to ask for an extension of the brexit negotiating period . Absolutely. Lets look at the government situation, they have a majority of one. The Government Support level in parliament has gone down and not up. The Prime Minister has seen for himself the level of disquiet on his own benches, ministers who saw the reckless consequences of a potential no deal and we are not prepared to tolerate that. We have a group of people who are prepared to put their ideology, obsessions and personal interests above the national interest. I am confident the representatives of the british people, parliament, will hold the government to account and stop them doing this. Thank you very much for coming in. More than 100,000 people have taken part in the latest rally in hong kong against what the protestors see as attempts by china to undermine the citys autonomy. This is the scene live in hong kong at the moment. The protests began 11 weeks ago and have at times been violent, but todays gathering has been peaceful. People have needed the umbrella is as much to protect them from the rain as as much a symbol from a couple of years ago, the umbrella protest. That has dispersed peacefully and it has been generally quiet this weekend. Stephen mcdonnell is there for us now. It is fairto it is fair to say some of the anger in these protests has been less noticeable this weekend than it had been early in the week at the airport . Absolutely there was a big push to make this weekend much more peaceful in terms of rallies. A large part of the city, it has been caught up in this enormous demonstration despite the heavy, driving rain, hundreds and thousands of people have turned out. Here, this is people coming back into victoria park. When i say back in, potentially for the first time coming to victoria park. If we swing around here, this is the direction of the park. We have had the situation where the park has been full once and then people left the park and its filled up yet again. This is the second shift. I guess you can put it that way. It does give you an idea of the number of people who will turn out here if a protest is going to be peaceful. It was given permission it is a legally approved rally and the authorities said it is ok. They didnt give permission for a march, but by sheer virtue of the numbers of people have had to come out of the park and into the streets around it because it couldnt take that many people. As i say, for many blocks back from the park, several kilometres, though streets have been full and the park has also been full. And it is a vote of confidence, i guess you could say, in the more peaceful way in terms of the pro democracy movement. The more radical elements, they can turn out a few thousand, maybe 10,000 at best, but this has been a really huge gathering here today in favour of democracy and yesterday we had a pro beijing rally, which seemed pretty big. Maybe there was 100,000 people there at best. It is ha rd to 100,000 people there at best. It is hard to say how many were here today, it feels to me about ten times the size, given the huge disruption in the city with so many people. Underground train stations have had to close because they were justjammed have had to close because they were just jammed with people have had to close because they were justjammed with people trying to reach the rally point. Roads have also been blocked. People have had to go walking using the road because public transport had to shut down. They have tried to get some momentum going in terms of their call for democracy in terms of their call for an independent public enquiry into the police force and if anyone thought the steam was coming out of this, thisjust thought the steam was coming out of this, this just shows thought the steam was coming out of this, thisjust shows it thought the steam was coming out of this, this just shows it hasnt. Thought the steam was coming out of this, thisjust shows it hasnt. I think there is a long way to go yet before this crisis is over and perhaps this is just the way things will be from now on in hong kong. It might change, but this movement will just keep going. Stephen mcdonell in hong kong for us, sunday evening, thank you very much for that update. The search has resumed for a missing six year old boy after he fell into the river stour, near the town of sandwich, yesterday. Lucas dobson fell into the water while on a fishing trip with family members. Specialist diving teams and Emergency Services are being supported by a large group of public volunteers in the search. 0ur correspondent simon jones has this update. Lucas dobson fell into the water just after 1pm yesterday afternoon. He was with family members are fishing just upstream when he went into the water. I understand one member of the family dived in after him but they couldnt find any trace of him. That has prompted a huge search involving the police, lifeboat, the coast guard and the fire service. We have seen boats coming up and down the river, he might be able to make out the white top of a search boat behind me. They have been searching the undergrowth and the huge amount of volunteers from the community have been coming forward and scouring the river bank looking for him, but so far without success. The family are concerned, they have thanked people who have come out ofjoined the search, but they say they just want little lucas black. Simon jones with an update on the search for the missing boy lucas, in kent. The headlines on bbc news the man in charge of planning for a no deal Brexit Michael gove says leaked documents showing shortages of goods and a hard border with ireland are out of date and worst case worst case scenarios. A hundred thousand people are gathering in hong kong for more pro democracy protests for the eleventh week running. Kent police name the boy whos missing after he fell into the river stour as six year old lucas dobson. 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 Constable Andrew 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. Well Reading Football Club have paid tribute to pc Andrew Harper with a minutes silence ahead of their home game against cardiff today. All players and fans observed the tribute, alongside other Police Officers. Joining me via webcam from leatherhead is the National Vice chair of the police federation, shay donald. We spoke yesterday about the kind of immediate concerns raised in the wa ke immediate concerns raised in the wake of pc harpers killing on thursday. This is a more general point the home secretary is raising and an analogy to what the government did a couple of years ago when it introduced a covenant with the armed forces. Is this something the armed forces. Is this something the government goes down the route of, some sort of formal process, statement of intent to serving officers and their families . What sort of things would you and your members want it to include . The policing covenant is something we have been pushing and driving for, campaigning for with this government is currently and her comments within the paper this morning are welcome. She has actually made reference to accelerating plans for a policing cove na nt. Accelerating plans for a policing covenant. In response to your question, what he has got to do is address the concerns we have, that our members have, that Police Officers have out there, there isnt suitable provision for them once they are injured in the course of their duties. Whether that injury is a musculoskeletal injury or a psychological incident from repeated exposure to trauma. We have seen a report published by Cambridge University recently, showing one in five Police Officers are suffering with complex ptsd. It is a commitment from government to provide some sort of provision to look after these offices and that is serving and retired officers, as a response from government to show they care for the service they have given through the course of their career in keeping the public safe. Given through the course of their career in keeping the public safelj was talking to sir peter fahy, the former chief constable for Greater Manchester police about two hours ago and he was saying one of the concerns is obviously that you now have a promise from the government that it will deliver extra officers, making upfor that it will deliver extra officers, making up for the shortfall that has been caused by austerity over the last decade or so. But because of the other changes that will come at the other changes that will come at the same time it might be difficult to meet the target, get those officers trained and give them the support they need and also presumably therefore, give them the incentive to want to stay in the force once they have been trained . cannot disagree with you, we have lost 20,000 Police Officers over eight years, trying to bring back 20,000 within a three year period, which is what has been mentioned, is going to be an insurmountable task. But there will always be people who wa nt to but there will always be people who want tojoin but there will always be people who want to join the police service, they will always be people who want to ta ke they will always be people who want to take this on as a career and serve their communities and want to keep the public safe. There are officers i work with on a day to day basis that see this as their career and this is what they want to do for the rest of their service. Any prospect like this comes with inherent challenges, but the government seems committed and driven to deliver this. As you point out, the proof will be in the pudding to see whether we get these boots on the ground within the three year period. Boots on the ground within the threeyear period. Do you think attitudes may be changing . There was attitudes may be changing . There was a period in government particularly when theresa may was home secretary, less so when she was Prime Minister, when she seemed to need to engage in a bitter public confrontation, particularly with the federation and say that police should get on with thejob of say that police should get on with the job of policing and leave the politics to the politicians . I wonder if the tone is different now and what you make of that . definitely welcomed the tone coming from this government, because we have been starved of funding, starved of attention, starved of being able to utilise our voice for the concerns we have raised about what would happen if you dont invest in policing and cut a Police Officer numbers. It gives me no pleasure that everything we predicted is being played out on the front page of newspapers, news channels every day. But with a change in leadership, with a change in home secretary, i think we do have the ear of the government. Conversation raised yesterday with you about what we would like to see to keep officers safer, attend to their welfare and well being has been commented in the home secretarys column today. People are listening but we want to see it actioned into real change that will be felt by me and my colleagues. Actioned into real change that will be felt by me and my colleaguesm will be interesting to see what comes out in the coming days and weeks to put flesh on the bones of this home office review.

Any good news on the cricket so far . Yes, there is sunshine at lords any good news on the cricket so far . Yes, there is sunshine at lords and no more england wickets. So far, play has resumed on the final day in the second ashes test. England still have six wickets in hand but steve smith from australia will not be able to bat again in this test and he isa able to bat again in this test and he is a doubt for the headingley test which starts next thursday. Lets go and speak tojoe wilson live at the ground. He has had this delayed reaction from the blow to the neck from the Jeffrey Archer bouncer yesterday . What australia have said, smith woke up what australia have said, smith woke up feeling what australia have said, smith woke 99v what australia have said, smith woke d what australia have said, smith woke up feeling groggy and they point out that often concussion can be delayed. What happened yesterday, he took the blow to the neck, he was taken off the field of play but came back out to bat again after the fall of the next wicket. He did bat on and make 92. When he was out, people wondered was the mistake induced slightly by the fact he wasnt feeling his best yesterday . Australia at the close of play at last night said he was fine, he passed the protocols and said he was fine to bat again today. But this is where the new rule has come into play, steve smith can be substituted. Although he doesnt play again, australia have selected a leg spin bowling all rounder to replace him. But with the next test match starting on thursday in leeds, i think smiths participation in that has to be extremely unlikely. As for the match, it has been straightforward for england with just butler and ben stokes resuming. They have taken the lead passed 150 and the interesting thing is, after lunch, whether they try and hit out a bitand build lunch, whether they try and hit out a bit and build the lead and they may be put australia into bat again depends on the state of the match and how much joe depends on the state of the match and how muchjoe root coming ons captain, wants to gamble. Joe wilson, thanks. The final day of the second test. There are two more matches in the premier league this afternoon. Its chelseas first match at home, theyve got leicester.

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.
