That killed 63 people. And a glacier in iceland goes from this to this, as the country holds a ceremony to mourn the first one to be lost to climate change. 0h, hes gone and england take australian wickets at lords. Well bring you up to date on the second ashes test in half an hour. Hello and a very good evening to you. The Cabinet Office minister michael gove has played down concerns highlighted by leaked government documents that warn of chaos in the event of a no deal brexit. He said significant steps had been taken in the past three weeks to accelerate planning for such a scenario. The documents, seen by the sunday times, warn of shortages of food, fuel and medicines, as well as the return of a hard border in ireland if britain leaves the eu without a deal. But mr gove insisted the papers were old, and concentrated on the worst possible outcomes. I think its important that we look in context at the document thats appeared in the sunday times today. Operation yellowhammer is the name that the government has given to planning for absolutely the worst case in the event of a no deal brexit. And its also important to recognise that this is an old document, that since it was published and circulated, the government have taken significant additional steps to ensure that we are prepared to leave on 31st october, deal or no deal. How much can actually have changed since borisjohnson took overfour weeks ago, surely some of this is still realistic . I think its important to recognise that any prudent government will always plan for absolutely the worst case. But its also important to recognise that in the last three weeks, there has been a significant acceleration in what weve been doing, and in the days and weeks to come, well be making sure that everyone in the country is as prepared as they can be. Yes, of course there are challenges in leaving without a deal, but there are also opportunities after 31st october if we have left with a clean break. But there arent any new significant plans for the irish border, so are they still unworkable . It is the case that the uk government have been clear that we will not put up any infrastructure at the border. There is no return to a hard border. We will have a system of very, very limited checks, simply where International Law requires it. So, we are not going to ensure that there are any impediments on the irish border. What the European Union decides, well, that is a matter for them. That is fine and well but this document suggests that is unworkable . No, it is the case that we can ensure that we will have a system in place that ensures that there is no need for any infrastructure at the border. Of course, we want a deal and we believe that its entirely possible to secure a deal with the European Union by 31st october. One of the things that stands in the way of securing a deal are the actions by some in the house of commons who want to try to frustrate the governments plans for departure on 31st october. The sooner everyone recognises that we are leaving on that day, the quicker we can move to a deal which not only safeguards an open border in Northern Ireland but also safeguards the uks economy and security and in particular safeguards the eus economy and security. That was michael gove speaking earlier. A little earlier, i spoke to our Political Correspondent mark lobel, who gave his thoughts on mr goves comments. He is trying to clarify that the warnings in it overfood prices going up, shortages of medicines and the like, are out of date. We understand that this document was presented to him, to the new team that borisjohnson brought in about three weeks ago. We are talking about a few weeks out of date for significant issues. They have been hard at work in downing street, in the Cabinet Office, with daily meetings preparing for no deal, signing contracts with freights to ease the passage of freight and medicine and health care products, but they can only do what they can do in the time, so presumably there is a lot of work to be done. Interestingly, the one problem that money cannot solve is the hard border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland. We heard fighting talk, real politics from michael gove, saying that the uk government does not intend to put any physical checks on the border, what does the eu think about that . All of this is making many mps who want to resist a no deal brexit very unhappy. This is what labour had to say, the shadow security minister. This is not project fear this is project reality. What we have seen revealed in the sunday times today sets out that we could be here in 2019 with shortages of food, shortages of fuel, shortages of medicine. Quite an extraordinary level of disruption. As this is developing, borisjohnson will be heading to europe, a busy week ahead for him. He insists he wants a deal and will be searching one in europe this week, meeting the leaders of france and germany, the key figures he needs to talk to to find a way through each of their demands. At the moment it is a stand off. He wants to convince them that negotiations could immediately begin but the eu will be looking at what is playing out with all the confusion over no deal, the disruption in parliament that is expected to happen, and votes of no confidence or legislation potentially coming forward that could delay the date of brexit itself. The eu are leaving britain to it and standing back from all this but to start negotiating in september would be late in the day and it would be difficult if Boris Johnson is hoping for a deal. Another Brexit Development is this possible recall of mps to parliament. Remind us of that. Dozens of mps have written to borisjohnson to Bring Parliament back to discuss this, out in the open, and to do so from roughly now until the 31st of october. That is unlikely to happen but mps will not have to wait long, they are back in a couple of weeks time. It goes to show how frustrated certain mps feel and how they feel that going through parliament is their only way of stopping a no deal brexit. The search is continuing for a missing six year old boy after he fell into the river stour, near the town of sandwich, in kent, yesterday. Lucas dobson was fishing with family members, when he slipped into the water. Specialist diving teams and Emergency Services are being supported by a large group of public volunteers in the search. Our correspondent simon jones is in sandwich. Lucas dobson fell into the water just after i oclock yesterday afternoon. So, he has now been missing for more than 2a hours. This is how we understand the sequence of events. He was just upstream there and at one point he was going to step from a jetty onto a fishing boat. He was with family members, but he fell between the gap between the jetty and the fishing boat. He disappeared into the water. Four adultsjumped in after him, including his father. But they could find no trace of him. So, they, of course, alerted the Emergency Services and that has prompted a huge response. We have had police, the fire service, the coastguard and the lifeboat all involved in this. Plus volunteers. We have seen boats coming up and down the river looking for clues. People searching through the undergrowth here, which is quite thick, just trying to find any trace of lucas. His family, for them, it has been a desperately worrying time and we have been speaking to his aunt about how she is coping with the situation. I think the not knowing is the hardest bit. You dont know. I am personally not trying to think about it. I am not accepting it yet. Because we cant find him, i tell myself that he got out and he is lost, he is looking for us. He is wandering around, wondering where we are. That is what im telling myself. Because to think that my little nephew is still in the river is just too much to think about. Huge uncertainty for the family, a desperately worrying time for them. They said they have taken comfort from the fact that hundreds of people from the local community have come out. They have been walking the river bank looking for any traces of the six year old. So far, nothing has been found, but people have been telling me that they just want to do something. They are all so anxious, they are walking in pairs trying to find any sort of clues. But the reality is time is going on and hope must be fading. Superintendent Amanda Tillotson of kent police has been giving more details about the search operation. This is a massive operation and firstly i would like to say that my thoughts go out to the family of lucas. This is an awful, tragic incident, but obviously we will work hard to bring a quick resolution and find lucas as quickly as we can for the family. But it is an absolutely massive operation with various different agencies, both Emergency Services but we have also got volunteers, and of course, members of the public, and they are all working extremely hard to find lucas. 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. Earlier today the protests were taking place but they had a largely peaceful theme. They began 11 weeks ago and have at times been violent. Our china correspondent Stephen Mcdonell has been following the protests in hong kong today. There was a big push on to make this weekend a much more peaceful one in terms of rallies. A large part of the city, at least on the island, has been caught up in this enormous demonstration today. Despite the heavy, driving rain, hundreds of 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, you can see this is the direction of the park. We have had this situation where the park has been full once and then people left the park, and its filled up yet again. So, 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, this is a legally approved rally, the authorities said it was ok. They didnt give permission for a march, butjust by virtue of the sheer numbers, people have had to pour out of the park and into the streets all around it because it couldnt take that many people. As i say, for many blocks back from the park, several kilometres between here and central, the 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 hard to say how many were here today, it feels to me about ten times the size though, given the huge disruption to the city with so many people. Underground train stations have had to close because they were just jammed with people trying to reach the rally point. Roads have also been blocked. People have had to go off walking, using the road to leave 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, well, this just shows it hasnt. I think there is a long way to go yet before this crisis is over and perhaps this isjust the way things will be from now on in hong kong. Gibraltar has rejected a request by the United States to again seize an Iranian Oil Tanker that it had been Holding Since july on suspicion of transporting oil to syria. We can show you that tanker life. It is currently off the coast of gibraltar. The gibraltar government lifted its detention order on thursday. It said it could not seek a new order based on washingtons request because us sanctions against iran did not apply in the eu. More than £77,000 has been raised by well wishers to support the family and widow of a Police Officer who was killed while investigating a report of a burglary in berkshire on thursday. Pc Andrew Harper was 28 and newly married. The police are questioning ten men and boys on suspicion of murder. Daniela relph reports. Three days after the death of pc Andrew Harper, and the trawl for evidence goes on. At the place where he died, tributes continue to be left, some from those who knew and loved him, others from those just moved by his death. Ahead of local team readings game against cardiff today, footballers and colleagues of pc harper stood in silence, in tribute to the fallen Police Officer. This time last month, pc harper was getting married. He and his wife were due to go on honeymoon next week. In churches across the Thames Valley, prayers were said for the Police Officer and his family, and at the church closest to his home, parishioners have left messages in a prayer book. As you would expect, probably around every church in the country there are prayers left for Andrew Harper, his family, the police, the whole police community, those working on the case. It must be terrible for them. Theyre naturally held in prayer and i am sure we are just one church out of many around the country where that will be true. The focus of the Police Investigation is centred on a local caravan site run by the local authority and used by the travelling community. Ten people were arrested here, and police remain on site. Access to the area is restricted. The Police Federation has set up a page for donations in recognition of pc harpers sacrifice. Now way beyond its original target, the Harper Family will decide how the money is spent. The Thames Valley force say this is a complex murder enquiry. Their priority is to establish how a call out to a burglary led to the death of one of its own officers. 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 are worst Case Scenarios. The search continues for 6 year old lucas dobson, whos missing after he fell into the river stour in kent. 100,000 people are gathering in hong kong for more pro democracy protests for the 11th week running. The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the bomb attack at a wedding, in afghanistan on saturday. 63 people were killed and nearly 200 others were injured, in the suicide bombing in the capital, kabul. The taliban has condemned the attack, but afghanistans president ghani said on sunday that the taliban could not absolve themselves of blame as they provide a platform for terrorists. This report by richard forrest. This is the aftermath inside the wedding hall. It had been packed with people celebrating a marriage in a minority shiite neighbourhood in the west of the city. Eyewitnesses said the bomber detonated his device in the mens reception area. Translation i was in the kitchen, and was coming to the hall when i heard the huge sound. My ears couldnt hear anything, and there were lots of injured people. Everybody was running away. Several of our waiters were killed or injured. Most of the victims were men or boys. The injured taken to hospitals across the city. There were so many, they were crowded into corridors. People were rushing to the hospital trying to find missing relatives. Translation i was in the Wedding Party when the blast occurred. It was very powerful, and the situation was terrible. I saw many children and people hurt. These wedding halls have become big business in kabul as the afghan economy slowly picks up and families spend more on celebrations. But they are seen as soft targets. Last november, at least a0 people were killed at a wedding in kabul. The attack came as the taliban and the United States are trying to negotiate an agreement on the withdrawal of us forces from afghanistan in exchange for a taliban commitment on security and peace talks with the us backed government. Richard forrest, bbc news. The bbc understands that the muslim convert known asjihadi jack who joined the Islamic State group as a teenager has had his british citizenship revoked. Jack letts was 18 when he left his oxfordshire home in 2014 to travel tojoin fighters in raqqa. The decision was reportedly made by sajid javid when he was home secretary. The home office have declined to comment on the case. Our correspondent, charlotte gallagher, said that by revoking his citizenship, the government had effectively passed responsibility forjack letts to the canadians. He was just a teenager when he left to join Islamic State fighters in syria. He was 18 years old in 2014. Now, in 2017, he was captured by Kurdish Forces and was put in a kurdish prison, where he remains. Now, his parents have always been supportive of him, not his decision obviously to fight with the Islamic State forces, but they were incredibly worried about him and they actually sent him money, and in june, they were convicted of sending money for terrorism, essentially, and were given a suspended sentence. Now, in a series of interviews, jack letts has said that he wanted to return to britain, but he realised that he probably wouldnt be able to because of what he had done in syria. And now, weve heard that the British Government has stripped him of his british citizenship, and we understand it was one of the last acts of theresa mays government to strip him of that. This is different to the case of shamima begum, you may remember, one of the schoolgirls from london who left to join the fighters in syria, one of the isis brides, as she became known. Now, she is challenging that decision in court. Her citizenship was stripped but she only has british citizenship, and under International Law, its illegal to leave someone stateless. Now, jack letts, his father is canadian, which means, although hes lost his british citizenship, he still has his canadian one, so he could go there. So, essentially by taking his british passport away from him, the British Government essentially has made him canadas problem for the future, if he ever is let out of this prison. In the past hour, canada have issued a statement responding to the news. Terrorism knows no borders, so countries need to Work Together to keep each other safe. Canada is disappointed that the United Kingdom has taken this unilateral action to off load their responsibilities. Investigating, arresting, charging and prosecuting any canadian involved in terrorism or violent extremism is our primary objective. They must be held accountable for their actions. The opposition in sudan, which signed a landmark power sharing deal with military leaders a day ago, has chosen the five people it wants to be part of a sovereign council. Its due to be sworn in on monday, to help pave the way for a Transitional Government and, eventually, elections. Thousands of people in bangladesh have been left homeless, after a huge fire in a crowded slum in the bangladeshi capital, dhaka, on friday. Officials say more than 1,200 shanty homes were destroyed in the blaze. It took several hours to douse the flames. Many of the structures had polythene roofs which helped the fire to spread. Shahnaz parveen reports from dhaka. Chard corrugated tin, the remains of furnitures, melted utensils, burnt television sets, mattresses. All items that were once precious possessions, now worthless. A short walk around and all you see is devastation. People are frantically rummaging through blackened objects, desperately trying to salvage whatever they can find. Some just sit there with an empty look on theirfaces. Others are distraught. Translation i have nothing. I went with my son to my village and now i see nothing is left. Everything has burnt to ashes. I have not got any help from anybody. For the last two days, weve had no food. We have lost everything, we have nothing left. Its better to kill us, no one is helping us. It took just a few hours for a raging fire to destroy an entire slum. The residents are mostly garment factory workers, Domestic Workers or rickshaw pullers. It could have been worse. There were no deaths. Many were away in villages celebrating eid. The government says it is investigating what caused the fire and providing rice and compensation to those affected. These families have been given shelter in a local school. Fires in factories and slums are common in bangladesh. At least 25 people were killed in march when a fire broke out in a high rise building in the banani district of the capital. Shahnaz parveen, bbc news. An offer by spain to allow a ship which has more than 100 migrants on board to dock there, has been turned down by the charity. Open arms says it cant accept the offer, because of what it called an emergency situation on board. The ship has been stranded off the italian coast for more than 2 weeks. Leigh milner reports. Chaos and frustration aboard the migrant rescue boat proactiva open arms. They have been stranded off the coast of the italian island lampedusa for two weeks now and, in a desperate attempt to reach the shore, some have decided to take matters into their own hands. Italys government has reluctantly allowed 27 children and two newborn babies to disembark from the open arms, the rest have been told to stay on board. Translation the two newly born children are promised to get off, but the presumed miners, the presumed refugees but the presumed minors, the presumed refugees fleeing a presumed war, presumed sick people no. I am alone against everyone. The Prime Minister wrote to me to get people off. The port has opened a case. The court has opened a case. Do i need to end up injail because i defended the borders of this country . There are no more than 100 migrants are left on board, there are now more than 100 migrants are left on board. Most of whom are african who were picked up of the coast of libya. Following italys refusal to talk, spain has since offered to take the boat, but crews say they will not be able to last for another six days of sailing. Translation weve been warning for days people jumping into the water, fights, violence, panic, anxiety, crisis. What else do we need dead people . Those who did not die at sea have to die here on board the open arms . Is that what we need . I hope the Public Prosecutor office act and act now. This is unsustainable. Only a few civilian rescue boats, like this one, are still operating in the mediterranean as they say they face more and more hostility at european ports. Leigh milner, bbc news. A waiter near paris has been shot dead by a customer who was reportedly angry because his sandwich was not prepared quickly enough. Police say a Murder Investigation has been launched after the incident on friday evening in the east of the city. The suspect fled the scene and has not been caught. Ambulance crews tried to save the 28 year old waiter who had been shot in the shoulder but he died at the scene. His colleagues told police that the customer had lost his temper at the pizza and Sandwich Shop because of the length of time it had taken to prepare his meal. The three remaining didcot power station cooling towers, have been demolished in a controlled explosion earlier this morning. Shortly after the demolition, thousands of people in the area said they had suffered a temporary power cut. An electricity supplier has said a power cut in oxfordshire this morning was probably linked to the demolition. An electricity pole was also seen to go up in flames seconds after the controlled explosions. Louise currie has more. Theyve watched over didcot for over half a century. But it took just seconds for the power stations three remaining cooling towers to be flattened. Its quite an emotional thing, really, because those towers have been up since before i was born, so theyve always been a landmark finding my way home from a long journey. You sort of think of seeing the towers when you come in from the motorway and it is like, something to say, oh, youre nearly home. I feel quite sad losing them, really. Yeah, the skyline has changed now forever. Hundreds turned out to watch, but for some it was more poignant than others. Dan and kevin worked there for many years. If we want to be environmentally friendly, that is the right thing, but when youve spent all that time, you know, and your dad has spent all that time there, its a sad day. It is quite nice to look across that not see towers, across and not see towers, because obviously it has restored the area to its Natural Environment again. But, yeah, sad day. Work to clear the site has been ongoing since it shut in 2013. But in 2016, tragedy struck. A ten storey boiler house collapsed, killing four men. The investigation into what caused it is still ongoing. Todays demolition appeared to run smoothly, but moments later, an explosion. 119,000 homes lost power forjust over an hour. Once the site is clear, it will be redeveloped. Theres already plans to build a hotel there. 400 new homes and there is going to be a site for business, leisure and also residential. So, its already been changing, and its already going to have its use going forward. Before that, there is one last demolition planned in the autumn for the largest chimney. What a sight. The strictly come dancing couple, neil and katya jones have announced they re separating. They faced media scrutiny after katya was photographed kissing her dance partner, the comedian seann walsh, during the last series. In a joint statement, the couple said they would remain friends and keep dancing together. A ceremony is being held at the top of an extinct volcano in iceland, to mark the loss of the first glacier to be wiped out by climate change. It went from this to this. As recently as the 1980s it showed as a mass of solid white. By 2014 it was declared dead. A plaque has been made to tell future generations that only they will know if enough was done to save other glaciers from climate change. Now its time for a look at the weather with phil avery. Hello once again. To start this particular look at the forecast for the next few days for the whole of the British Isles, im just going to give you a sort of general theme of how the weather is going to lay out across much of the British Isles. Is going to play out across much of the British Isles. We will keep the showery theme going to start of the week, going to start off the week, but as things go on, you will see there is quite a significant change. These showers come from that area of low pressure the start of the week. This is tuesday. A weak weather front spreading cloud and some showery rain into western parts. That weather front is obviously got a little bit more about it middle of the week, shall we say. And then the High Pressure trying to build then and this will become more of a player for many more of us as we move towards the tail end of the week. More of that in just the second. But, as i say, the week starts sunny pretty showery theme still. Starts off on a pretty showery theme still. They showers are probably not with the same intensity that weve seen through the course of the weekend, but they will gang together later in the day across this North Western quarter of scotland is a little trough a mini front, if you like just works its way down across the northern parts of britain into the wee small hours of tuesday. A band of cloud eventually, but still with one or two pretty punchy showers on it. So even as far ahead as tuesday, were still talking about a showery nature to the weather. Getting on into tuesday itself, this is where we see deeper signs a south westerly developing across the British Isles and that will have the effect of a dragging in a band of showery rain associated where they were in front, initially into wales and Northern Ireland, but then gradually pushing to the north west of england towards a south western scotland. Further south, High Pressure beginning to develop here, trying things out quite nicely and the east having a pretty reasonable sort of day as well. Now, you may well remember in that overall look at the weather that wednesday showed signs of something a little bit more potent wanting to come in from the atlantic. The High Pressure still down there across the southern counties of the British Isles, but this is a spell of a really quite wet and quite breezy weather too for Northern Ireland, western scotland, eventually the north west of england. But, with High Pressure, there are thereabouts further to the south and east of us, that front is not going to be much of a player for many southern and eastern parts during the course of wednesday. Here we are on thursday, the tail end of that weather front working its way down towards the southern counties. So if youre thinking about harvest, this may be a wee bit more of an unsettled day from anywhere across england and wales. Closer to the centre of the low pressure, further north, there are some further showers, if not longer spells of rain, for the northern half of scotland, Northern Ireland, somewhere in between. A lot of dry weather to for the north of england. Too for the north of england. Temperatures at this stage not really showing any great signs of wanting to change. That High Pressure, having been all over the south, tends to want to move towards a continent as it moves towards the tail end of the week. Were just beginning to see signs of those isobars wanting to flow from the continent to the British Isles. That will give us the chance to tap into a source of warmth, albeit short lived. Friday and saturday fairly warm to stop the jet stream just showing signs of wanting to dip over us on sunday and notice how those colours drain away. That combination suggests a low pressure and also a front coming down to knock away the heat for a time. But once the jet stream starts doing that, rather than dipping over us, you can just about imagine a fitting in an area of High Pressure from the azores, extending its way up towards the British Isles and giving us a chance for a longer spell of more settled weather, fine weather, with a wee bit of heat too. Take care. The government says its ready for a no deal brexit after claims there could be food, medicine and fuel shortages. As the brexit deadline gets closer, ministers say the leaked details, dont reflect current plans. This is an old document that since it was published and circulated, the government have taken significant additional steps to ensure we are prepared to leave on october the 31st deal or no deal. A six year old boy is still missing, afterfalling into the river stour in kent yesterday, while fishing. Organisers claim 1. 7 million braved the rain for hong kongs latest pro democracy march. The hiv tests on glasgows streets to stem the worst of the virus in decades. And, england try to shackle australia, on a thrilling final day of the lords ashes test. Good evening. The government says the uk is more prepared than ever for the country to leave the European Union without a deal, after a leaked document outlining the potential negative impacts, was published in a sunday newspaper. The report from the Cabinet Office, warns of food, medicine and fuel shortages, and suggests a return to a hard irish border, is all but inevitable. The man in charge of planning for a no deal brexit, michael gove, acknowledged there might be some short term problems, but said the report is a worst Case Scenario and out of date. Borisjohnson is preparing to meet european leaders this week, to make his case for a new brexit deal. Heres our Political Correspondent, nick eardley. It has been the mantra of Boris Johnsons government. Come out of the eu on october the 31st, no ifs 01 the eu on october the 31st, no ifs or buts. We need to get brexit done. We need to get brexit done. We have to leave the eu on october the 31st. So far, europe has remained adamant, the brexit deal will not change. So the Prime Minister will take his case to berlin and paris to tell two of the eus most influential leaders, things have got to change. The Prime Minister knows he needs to make progress soon or the uk will be facing a no deal exit. This morning, the sunday times published a leaked government document looking at what it might mean. On the food supply. Critical elements of the Food Supply Chain may be in short supply. On plans to keep the irish border open. The model is likely to prove unsustainable because of economic, legal and bio security risks. Michael gove is in charge of getting the government ready for no deal. This is an old document that since it was published and circulated the government have taken significant additional steps to make sure we are prepared to leave in october the sist, prepared to leave in october the 31st, deal or no deal. Do you accept they could be food and fuel shortages in a no deal scenario . M we do have a no deal exit there will inevitably be some disruption, some bumps in the road. Number ten is furious. A source accused an unnamed former minister of leaking this document to try and influence talks with europe. But for opponents of no deal, those tory rebels and Opposition Mps are convinced it would be a disaster. Leaks like this are confirmation that their worst fears could become a reality. This isnt project fear, it is project reality. What we have seen revealed the sunday times today sets out that we could be here in 2019 with shortages of food, shortages of fuel and shortages of medicine. The next few weeks will be crucial in determining whether no deal becomes reality. The Brexit Process is reaching a crunch point and nobody knows for sure what will happen. Rescue teams are continuing to search for a six year old boy, who fell into the river stour in kent. Lucas dobson disappeared near the town of sandwich yesterday afternoon, while fishing. Simonjones has the latest. Searching the river stour for a little boy who hasnt been seen since yesterday lunchtime. Its thought lucas dobson fell into the water as he was stepping onto a fishing boat. His father and two other people jumped in after him, but the current swept lucas away. I am not accepting it yet because we cant find him. I tell myself he got out and hes lost, hes looking for us. Hes wandering around, wondering where we are. Thats what im telling myself because to think my little nephew is still in the river is too much to think about. The coast guard, the lifeboat, the police and the fire service have all been involved in the search, plus hundreds of volunteers from the local community who have heard about what happened and have come out to walk the length of the river bank desperate to help. We are sticking together, i think if i was in the familys situation i would expect people to help me out as well. You just want a good outcome really, dont you . Bless him. The police say they are determined to provide answers for the family. We are working extremely well together, weve got the best kit and equipment, weve got the best skilled, Trained Personnel out there looking for lucas and i cant say enough how much we are looking to get a quick resolution to this. Lucas family have thanked everyone who has joined the search. Their message we just want our boy back. Simonjones, bbc news, sandwich. A british man who travelled to syria to join the Islamic State group, has reportedly been stripped of his uk citizenship. Jack letts, was captured by Kurdish Forces two years ago. Injune, his parents were convicted of funding terrorism, after sending him money. Funerals have begun taking place for those killed in a suicide bomb attack, at a wedding in the afghan capital, kabul. More than 60 people died, and over 180 others were injured, when the device was detonated in the reception hall. The taliban has denied carrying out the attack. Organisers say 1. 7 Million People have taken part, in the latest mass demonstrations in hong kong. The protests began 11 weeks ago, against what some see as attempts by beijing, to undermine the territorys autonomy. Todays gathering, was peaceful, as our china correspondent John Sudworth reports and a warning this report contains some flashing images. Beneath an ocean of colour, Hong Kong Raised its voice again. Chanting. Everywhere you looked, there were umbrellas, held aloft in a massive display of defiance. Why are you marching today . For hong kong. For hong kong, of course. Yeah, freedom. Yes. Its a far cry from this, the violent scenes at hong kongs airport earlier this week, which some thought risked undermining public support. The turnout today was seen as a vital test. Given the monsoon conditions, this sea of umbrellas will be seen as confirmation that the Pro Democracy Movement is farfrom losing momentum. Warnings from china also appear to be having little effect. Shortly before the rally, the authorities released new footage of troops rehearsing crowd control techniques just across the border. In much of the city, away from the protests, in working class neighbourhoods like this one, there is the appearance of normality. But opinion is deeply divided. Of course its not good, this woman tells me. Hong kongs a mess. This man says he supports the protests, but he has a pessimistic view about the likelihood of success. Its in xijinpings hands, he tells me. The communist party is so strong, its up to them. This is a spontaneous movement, a mass acting as one with no real leaders. On the one hand, sheer weight of numbers, on the other, an uncompromising government and no end in sight. John sudworth, bbc news, hong kong. Health workers in glasgow say an outbreak of hiv among the homeless and drug users in the city, is now the most serious in the uk since the 1980s. The bbc has learnt that at least 157 cases have been confirmed in the last four years. Our scotland editor, sarah smith, has been given exclusive access, to the first Street Project in the uk, carrying out rapid hiv tests, in glasgow. Just one tiny drop of blood can test whos been infected by the rapidly spreading outbreak of hiv in glasgow. So, illjust put this in here, ok, and if its one line, it means there is no hiv antibodies in the blood, and if it is two lines it means there is, but we well just sit you outside for now. Injust minutes, robbie gets the news hed hoped to hear. Im pleased to tell you there is one line, which means you dont have hiv. Sleeping rough and injecting drugs, he knows he is at high risk of infection. So, robbie says he always takes care to get clean needles, available free from various chemists and charities. Do you know people that do share needles . Aye. If you can get your money to get drugs, get drugs, you can get the right paraphernalia to handle the drugs. Its not hard, you know what i mean. Waverley care in glasgow are the first and only Team Anywhere in the uk taking hiv testing onto the streets. Hi, it is marrie here at waverley care. They gave us an exclusive look at their attempts to reach the growing Homeless Population in glasgow. Everybody seems to know someone with hiv, but werent aware of the outbreak. The numbers, they may be aware of one or two, in their close circle of friends, but not aware of the potential hundred plus that is connected to Glasgow City Centre who are hiv positive. Widespread hiv testing, trying to identify everyone who is infected, could help to contain the outbreak. But at the moment, the really worrying thing is that the spread of the infection in glasgow seems to be rapidly escalating, with around a 100 increase in new cases this year so far. This man is a heroin addict who manages his hiv with prescription medication. When he was first diagnosed, though, he was terrified the infection would be fatal. I tried to overdose, as i was sliding down a wall, somebody touched me on the shoulder and ijumped up. So, that saved my life. Why is there such a bad outbreak of it in glasgow . You see, the people thats got it, i think that theyre not telling. I think theyre not telling people that theyve got it and theyre letting them use their needles. Living on the streets with hiv is not easy. Not everyone takes their medication every day not when heroin is a higher priority. Thats why halting the spread of infection is so urgent and so difficult. Sarah smith, bbc news, glasgow. Thousands of homes were left without power, after the three remaining cooling towers, at the decommissioned didcot power station in oxfordshire, were demolished. The blackout followed controlled explosions. Witnesses say they saw an electricity pole catch fire, moments after the towers collapsed. The local Energy Supplier initially denied the demolition was to blame, but later said the two, were probably linked. Now with all the sport, heres karthi gna nasegaram, at the bbc sport centre. Good evening. Theres not long left to play on the final day of what has been an eventful second ashes test. Ben stokes hit an unbeaten century and england are now pressing for victory with fast bowler jofra archer taking two early wickets as australia chase an unlikely total of 267 to win. Our correspondent, joe wilson has the latest from lords. The cricketers dont decide when play begins, it is the weather. Past midday when the sun got its act together, englands batsmen were composed. Safety first was the plan. Then press the accelerator, ben stokes. Pretty good, think you can hit the next ball further . Looked like it. Ben stokes, with a roar of approval reached his personal 101 englands lead was 266, the captain decided lets try to win, lets mould. So archer, warner, to burns, court, out. The bowler has changed the ashes. Next man in was marnus labuschagne, replacing steve smith. So labuschagne became crickets first concussion substitute and now he faced archer. These blows are worrying but lets be clear, there was immediate concern from england and both teams know it is part of test cricket. And so is slow bowling, with spinjack leach deceived cameron bancroft, lbw. Gone. Read alert, the ball flew straight to jason roy, the ball fell to the turf. Chance missed, time slipping by. You didnt have to be playing to feel the tension. And it will still tense thanks to jack leach because he has taken the wickets of labuschagne and weight. So we have ten overs left and five wickets for england to take to win the match. It is stilljust about possible.

Mason mount might bea chelseas future. Mason mount might be a part of that, a goal on his home debut, quite a start.

Theres more on the bbc sport website including rangers and aberdeen reaching the quarter finals of the Scottish League cup. Hello. This is bbc news. A shortage of intravenous feed supplies has been declared a National Emergency incident by Health Chiefs and affects hundreds of patients across england. The situation is so serious the nhs is considering importing supplies from other countries to meet the needs of patients who depend on them. Alison freeman reports. Its a painstaking process that michelle has to go through every day just to stay alive. Its a painstaking process that michelle has to go through every day just to stay alive. She has intestinal failure, and gets no benefits from eating or drinking like most other people. Instead, these liquid packs provide all of her nutrients, calories and hydration directly into her bloodstream. Its Life Sustaining for me. Without it, ijust couldnt survive. So its extremely important that we get this nutrition. Its called tpn, total parenteral nutrition. But at the end ofjune, the supply to michelle and more than 500 people like in england and wales became unreliable. Thats because the company that makes it, calea, was told by the medicines regulator to change its manufacturing process immediately. The change slowed the process so much, calea couldnt meet demand. Michelle has had to supplement the erratic supplies with replacements not tailored to her needs, and her health has been suffering. Last week i actually lost four pounds in two days. I suffered with cramping in my hands and feet and calf muscles. A lot of headaches and numbness and tingling in my hands. The manufacturer, calea, should have been following guidelines which were introduced in 2015. Calea was inspected two years later in 2017 by the medicines watchdog the mhra, but no changes were enforced. The watchdog told us it was the companys responsibility to meet regulatory requirements. But injune of this year, calea was inspected again. This time they were told to implement the changes immediately. The shortage has now been declared a National Emergency by nhs england. The department for health says its working closely with the nhs, the medicines watchdog and calea to resolve the supply problem. Tpn already restricts the lives of those who use it. Michelles connected for 12 hours each night. But patients who rely on it now have the added worry of not being sure their supplies will arrive. I really fear that something terrible could happen. Im quite upset at that, actually. Alison freeman, bbc news. Time for a look at the weather with phil avery. Hello, in recent days we have advertised it as being a regime of sunny spells and showers but as you know from your experience, there can be a number of variations on that theme and the rest of today falls under a similar banner. Sunny spells and showers, really quite breezy as well. All of the above supplied by the area of low pressure which has been around for a number of days to the north of scotland. This little banner of cloud produced more persistent rain across the southern counties of the British Isles in the first half of sunday. Thankfully that has now quit the scene. Following behind, brighter skies across the southern parts of britain, skies clearing beautifully across parts of cornwall. Further north if you get too many showers or a big one and it fills the sky, your mixture of sunny spells and showers will look more like that. For the rest of the evening and overnight, we will keep the showers circulating around the low pressure and flooding in across scotland, Northern Ireland, northern and western parts of the British Isles, the odd one straying further east. Urged eastwards by that noticeable westerly breeze. Not an especially cold night, one or two rural spots will be in single figures. This is monday, low pressure is pushed closer towards the coast of norway. We are suggesting a little front in the flow later in the day. For the most part of the day, showers are widely scattered less intensely and a deal of sunshine. Late on in the day, it will be cloudy and persistent rain will get into the northern parts of scotland and eventually come evening time, towards parts of Northern Ireland. Temperatures on a par for the greater part of the weekend. Change of the script for tuesday because it starts off fine and dry for many areas then we look towards the atlantic where a south westerly wind will usher in a warm front and a banner of cloud thickening up to give rain eventually through wales, Northern Ireland and eventually southern and western parts of scotland. Tuesday looks drier and brighter to the east, by the end of the week many areas will look dry and bright and the temperatures will begin to pick up in many spots as well. Take care, goodbye.
