And he read it to the people of the United States, and its a disgrace. The communist party. The British Government says it has drawn up an updated brexit deal and is getting ready they scoff at president xis promised that he will maintain hong kongs autonomy for 50 years. David and his mother, anne, sit on opposite sides of this increasingly bitter divide. To put it to the eu. They always say that no changes in 50 years, until 2047. Good morning. It is 1 00am in london but we find that the days and 8 00am here in hong kong, where more protests are expected, of 2047 have come now. This time as a direct response they had 200 years to build a better to a date the rest of usa, but china only got 70 years. The country is celebrating. 1 october is the 70th if better china, therefore anniversary of the founding better hong kong. Of the peoples republic of china. Better china, better hong kong. The communist leadership has organised a lavish military parade david is among those now calling in beijing, and are hoping the big day isnt overshadowed on the United States to impose by demonstrations in sanctions on china. The former british colony. 00 01 45,191 4294966103 13 29,430 Rupert Wingfield hayes has more. Why are all the people supporting america in the trade war . Because we want that Chinas Communist Party has falling power because of that. Such talk makes hong kongs small band of super patriots extremely angry. They say fear of china is a product of british brainwashing. Translation hong kong was ruled by britain for over 150 years. They did not teach us respect for our chinese roots, but encouraged us to have anti china and anti communist beliefs. On tuesday, chinas most powerful leader since mao will review a military now second in strength only to the United States. It is a sight that will make many chinese hearts swell with pride. But its neighbours look on with growing concern about how china will use its new found power. Rupert wingfield hayes, bbc news, in hong kong. Rupert talked about the opinions being split, even with an family, but of course within the society. And there are two very different scenes taking place in hong kong as we speak. Lets bring you some live pictures now from hong kong showing the flag raising ceremony that marks chinas national day. At the same time we also have protesters taking to the streets, even though the police didnt give permission for these marchers to go ahead. They were speaking earlier to the protest organises in an Early Edition of newsday who said that, even though they had to cancel events to protect the safety of the protesters, some of them will still be taking to the streets as china marks this momentous day ahead. We will have more analysis later in the programme. For now, back to you. We will be back with mariko in hong kong a little later. Now to another big story dominating the days news president trumps personal lawyer, rudy giuliani, has been ordered to hand over all documents relating to his work for mr trump in ukraine to three committees investigating the president. It is the latest move in the us president ial impeachment inquiry, accusing mr trump of using his position to solicit interference from a foreign country in the next us election. Mr trump has suggested that one of the senior democrats investigating could be arrested for treason. I made a call. The call was perfect. When the whistleblower reported it, he made it sound terrible. And then you had adam schiff who, even worse, made up my words, which i think is just horrible. Ive never even seen a thing like that. I asked our north america correspondent peter bowes first about mr trumps personal lawyer, who has spoken about the allegations on ukraine before. Yes, hes given several television interviews, especially this past weekend. And the Committee Chairman focused on what he said, that he has acknowledged that he went to ukraine, hes spoken to ukrainian officials, to try to get an investigation into joe biden, the former Vice President and possible candidate for the democrats, opposite president trump, at the next election. And he has indicated that he wasnt doing this alone, that there were others in the Trump Administration involved, and that he had text messages, documents, to prove this. So the Committee Chairman want that evidence. They want to see what has happened, and they have demanded, by sending him this subpoena, those text messages, e mails, other documentation, dating back 2. 5 years to early 2017, and theyve given him until the middle of october to come up with those documents. And peter, in a separate development that is just coming into us here, its a report by the Washington Post regarding the us attorney general, william barr. Talk us through what theyre suggesting. Well, they are suggesting that he has gone to foreign leaders to help ask for help in getting to the bottom of the mueller investigation, at least what started the mueller investigation, into allegations of a connection between the trump campaign, collusion, and russia. And weve known for some time that there was an investigation into the origins of that investigation. So were now hearing that the attorney general has gone to foreign officials looking for assistance in that, and that in fact, william barr asked the president to approach leaders overseas to ask for assistance in that inquiry. Also making news today uk media are reporting that british Prime Minister borisjohnson has prepared the legal text of an updated potential brexit deal, and is expected to make those plans public in the next 2 3 days. They are said to include the possibility of having some customs posts in zones around the border between Northern Ireland and the republic. 0ur europe editor katya adler has more. The leak tonight is not yet an official position, but a suggestion that has been made by the uk government. And it would see customs infrastructure on the island of ireland, so not exactly on the border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland, but set back maybe five, maybe ten miles. There would be checks on goods, as well, and there would be gps tracking systems on traders as well. Now, what the eu has said to date is, you want to bin the backstop, borisjohnson . That is fine, as long as you can find an alternative that meets our main criteria respecting the single market, number one, and number two, safeguarding the Northern Ireland peace process. For the eu, this means no customs infrastructure, not on the border, not near the border. It means no checks at all. Ive spoken to the European Commission tonight. The bbc has spoken to the Irish Government as well. Their response is that this is not an official uk position yet, and therefore they cant officially comment on it. But, were these customs posts to become the official uk position, it would be dismissed and rejected by the eu as insufficient. Also making news today with nearly all the votes counted, austrias conservative party, led by sebastian kurz, has won a clear election victory with about 37 of the vote. The snap general election was called after secret recordings published in may led to the governments collapse. The video exposed a conversation in which then leader of the Freedom PartyHeinz Christian strache is heard promising government contracts to a woman posing as the niece of a russian oligarch. More than 100 people have been killed in flooding in india in the past three days. Monsoon rains have disrupted travel, schools and Power Supplies in Uttar Pradesh and bihar, in the north and north east. Thousands of people have been moved to relief camps. The first mass lawsuit in german legal history has begun, with more than 400,000 people launching a lawsuit against the carmaker volkswagen. The case concerns one of germanys largest industrial scandals, falsified emissions tests, and is expected to last several yea rs. Consumer groups representing volkswagen diesel customers are seeking compensation from the company, which has already paid out more than 30 billion since the scandal emerged four years ago. The biggest iceberg in more than 50 years has been created after breaking away from the amery ice shelf in antarctica. At 315 billion tons it will have to be monitored and tracked because it could in future pose a hazard to shipping. These images from france show the National Service of remembrance held in paris for the former french president jacques chirac. A Church Memorial was attended by dozens of current and former world leaders, including bill clinton and vladimir putin. Mr chirac died on thursday, at the age of 86. Welcome back to hong kong, the scene of ongoing protests in the last few months as demands for autonomy and democratic freedoms continue. Beijing is understandbly nervous about todays national day celebrations, to mark 70 years of the peoples republic of china. The communist party is particulary sensitive about potentially embarassing demonstrations in hong kong, so much so, it has beefed up security in the former british colony. Here is the bbcs robin brant, in beijing, on what events we can expect today. Well, this is as close as we can get to the root of the parade at the moment. That avenue is where the ta nks moment. That avenue is where the tanks will roll, where the troops will march. It is going to be quite a spectacle heading down that road in an hours time. They will be 50,000 numbers of the military. Theres going to be 600 pieces of equipment on show, about 160 aircraft going over. The military leading into this have said they dont wanted to be seen by the world isa dont wanted to be seen by the world is a show of force, but this is a chance for china to show and there will be eagle eyes particularly i think looking at some of that new equipment that chinas leadership has chosen to display. Now, there are some challenges going forward, though, as xijinping, the president , leads these celebrations. And it is a celebration. 70 years since the communist came to power, 70 years of huge progress, as well, in this country. It is still a bit smoggy here. China is still dealing with the consequences of decades of industrial progress. The economy here is also slowing in terms of its growth, and of course there is also that trade war with the United States. Little sign of progress there. In fact, states. Little sign of progress there. Infact, an states. Little sign of progress there. In fact, an escalation is just a few weeks away. And domestically big problems in terms of pork. China eats more pigs than anyone else, and this country is being ravished by african swine flu, and there is not much they can do about it. But this is going to be a moment of national pride. It is a moment of national pride. It is a moment of national pride. It is a moment of celebration. We are going to have a huge military parade. There is propaganda already up across the city, of course. 0ne over there talks about harmony and democracy. But there are further m essa 9 es democracy. But there are further messages from the people to remind them of what this day is all about. The message from xijinping, who will kick things off with a short speech, will be about struggling. Thats very much in line with the marxist narrative, but very much about strength of unity as well. The communist message constantly is that this desperate country of 1. 4 billion people needs a strong leadership at its core, and xi jinping will say that remains him, that remains his communist party. Robin brant in china as china prepares to have those huge celebrations marking the 70th anniversary of the foundation of the peoples republic of china. Later i will be speaking to a guest about the importance of hong kong to the beijing authorities. The economy, Foreign Investment, into the territory, because they are of course concerned about potentially embarrassing protest taking place later today. Day, temperatures in london around 14 degrees. Mariko there in hong kong. We will be back with her a little later, as she was suggesting, authorities are hoping there will be no repeat of those protests that have been taking place as china is celebrating that 70th anniversary of the communist in all russias turmoil, it has never quite come to this. President yeltsin said the day would decide the nations destiny. The nightmare that so many people had feared for so long is playing out its final act here. Russians are killing russians in front of a grandstand audience. It was his humility which produced affection from catholics throughout the world. But his departure is a tragedy for the catholic church. This man, israels right winger, ariel sharon, visited the religious compound and that started the trouble. He wants israel alone to have sovereignty over the holy sites, an idea thats unthinkable to palestinians. After 45 years of division, germany is one. In berlin, a million germans celebrate the rebirth of europes biggest and richest nation. This is newsday on the bbc. Im kasia madera in london. Mariko 0i is in hong kong, where china is hoping there will be no more protests as the superpower celebrates 70 years since the communist party came to power. Donald trumps personal lawyer is ordered to handover documents on ukraine as the president calls for the democratic congressman leading the impeachment inquiry to be arrested for treason. Lets return to brexit, and the british Prime Minister, boris johnson, has prepared the legal text of an updated potential brexit deal, and is expected to make those plans public in the next two to three days. Asa bennett is the brexit commissioning editor at the telegraph newpaper. He has more details about the possible proposal. We are learning that what borisjohnson wants to propose to eu leaders is something they dont like the sound of much, given that the ireland deputy minister has come out on twitter saying its not a serious proposal, not something they can accept. And so actually, the best thing to really look at here is, if you take a step back, and the timing right now is ahead of the big keynote, you know, rambunctious borisjohnson election speech on wednesday at the tory conference. So they will be deliberately geared to please brexiteers, showing that hes trying to put on the table the stuff they really want, like having more technology involved. Yet at the same time, though, hes asking the eu to effectively create a lot more borders lets have a border down the irish sea, on all sorts of regulation areas, industrial goods, food, things that you may remember during the theresa may area, the dup, democratic unionist party, didnt quite like. Tory brexiteers didnt like it either, because it did create friction in the united kingdom. And so this is the problem. You may well think something surely has to change after the tory conference, perhaps. Were going to see if there will be a deal later in the week. And even then, though, this may all be a distraction, because of course there is legislation in parliament which means that if the Prime Minister cannot get a deal through parliament, he has to delay the thing anyway. So this is him trying to show he is trying his best to try and get something better. He is trying his best, but he knows that this isnt going to pass through brussels, doesnt he . So is this just purely to appeal to the conservative conference . Well, i imagine it is hes trying to show hes aiming for the most, to see what he can get. Because obviously, in his view, everyone has to give a bit. Even though hes meant to be mr brexit, he is thrust in there to get this right, to sign a deal that can get through this parliament. So that way, if the dup does then perhaps blur the lines, exert just enough friction in the united kingdom, at the same time, the erg would have to accept it, because otherwise they will have to sit back and watch him forced to obey the law by delaying brexit. And of course, then the big problem is the eu, then. Because the detail really is going to have to be rewritten, more nuanced, in a way they will happily consider. Its asking them to strike down so much of what they have promised, and to create some politically contentious customs posts away from the border. And he is running out of time, lets not beat around the bush, because were talking about 1 october now. Returning to our top story now. Welcome back to hong kong, the centre of global attention today as china celebrates 70 years since the peoples republic was established. The protests have already started. With me is the china expert, professor simon shen a political scientist at the Chinese University. Firstly, let me ask you what does today mean for china and president xi xinping who is now considered president for president xi xinping who is now considered president for life . President xi xinping who is now considered president for life . M president xi xinping who is now considered president for life . It is a very symbolic day for the president who has centralised all power at home and has the historical heritage of the founding fathers, including chairman mao, whom he paid personal tribute to me. And he is also talking about the Economic Growth so this will be a chance to showcase both to the ordinary people and third, there will be some belt and third, there will be some belt and Road Initiative of the very aggressive policy of china since residents using pink took power, so at heart and soul power of china will be demonstrated in this regard. Of course they are concerned about potentially embarrassing protests taking place in hong kong, but what is the importance, the significance of the territory to the communist party because yellow i think the value of hong kong should not be judged by the gdp contribution to china. The most important function is actually the Foreign Investment of china, 70 of that has to be through hong kong, so it is irreplaceable. I dont think shanghai can replace that. The chinese economy has to go through hong kong to go outside, and it also brings things into china. When the trainer and United States are having a tradable or friction, hong trainer and United States are having a tradable orfriction, hong kong is more for both. From the Chinese University of hong kong, thank you so much for your insight. We will have more on those ongoing pro democracy protests that we are expecting here in hong kong later today here on bbc world news, as we will bejoining the today here on bbc world news, as we will be joining the crowd as they gather later this afternoon. Thank you, and mariko 0i willjoin us thank you, and mariko 0i willjoin us at the end of the programme to say goodbye. A decision to partially uphold a complaint against bbc breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty has been reversed by the head of the bbc, after widespread appeals for the corpration to change its decision. The jouralsist had been found to have breached the bbcs guidelines over comments she made about a tweet from donald trump about four female politicians of colour. David sillito reports. Breakfast news, and an unscripted exchange that made headline news. Absolutely furious, and i can imagine that lots of people in this country will be feeling absolutely furious that a man in that position feels its ok to skirt the lines with using language like that. The topic donald trump telling politicians, all women of color, to go back to where they came from. And, as our guest was saying there, its an absolutely it feels like a thought out strategy to strengthen his position. And its not enough to do it just to get attention. This exchange provoked a complaint about the two presenters. The process ended with a decision that Naga Manchetty had strayed beyond the bbcs editorial guidelines. Describing a remark as racist is not the issue at stake here. The issue at stake here is whether it was right to go on to ascribe motive, in this case to president trump. Could have been to anybody else. The concern about that argument was how far was it actuallyjust accepting that racism was part of acceptable political debate. Many within the bbc were said to be uneasy, uncomfortable. And in the wider world, well, today, more than 100 mps signed a letter expressing their concern. All of which led to the director general today reviewing and reversing that decision, saying. But this has also raised some wider issues. If the corporation wants to present itself as the premier Cultural Institution for the whole of our nation, in all of its diversity, with all its differences, it needs to work out how it deals with the diversity of its own staff. And, at the moment, it doesnt seem to know quite what it wants to do. There has been a clear statement the bbc is not impartial on racism. But there are certainly other questions that have yet to be resolved. David sillito, bbc news. Mariko 0i has been in hong kong with those pro democracy protests looks set to continue. From china we have very different images though. Cities across china have lit up their famous landmarks and buildings to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the peoples republic of china. Hello again. The average height of a uk two Story Building is around seven metres high. Imagine thenjust if you can for a moment, waves that are three times that height at around 22 metres high, thats the kind of size of waves we are looking at generated by this hurricane, hurricane lorenzo, with its 105 mile an hour sustained winds. Lorenzo is tracking in a north easterly direction, most 20 metre high waves are what we could see battering the western azores as we go through tuesday night as the hurricane passes very close by. After that it turns into a normal area of low pressure and will end up close to the British Isles but there is some uncertainty as to where it ends up. The main focus in the uk is on the continuing flooding threat across england and wales after the recent heavy rain that we have seen and the extra rain we have got that will fall to the rest of the day today. We have got rain with us already for Northern England and Northern Ireland, heavy showers packing in across wales and South West England, something a bit drier in scotland but also a bit colder and some showers around as well, they are just not as angry. To the rest of tuesday what will happen is these heavy showers and thunderstorms across wales and South West England will have the start of the day, they wa nted will have the start of the day, they wanted to push eastward with time across the midlands into east anglia and south east england. The showers could bring around 30 40 millimetres of rain in the space of a few hours, so given the ground is completely saturated, that rain could cause some localised surface water flooding problems and some quite nasty conditions out of the road. Apart from these heavy downpours, it is relatively mild to the south with temperatures up to 90 degrees, but notice the green colours were Northern England, Northern Ireland and scotland as the air continues to get colder. There will be subsided inafew get colder. There will be subsided in a few showers for northern scotla nd in a few showers for northern scotland overnight the rain clears away some will become drier, showers will feed in across northern scotland, but for many of us will be really quite a cold night. Heading into the early part of wednesday morning those temperatures will be well down it single figures, and indeed some players in the countryside, they will be pockets of frost. Heading into wednesday, northerly winds, pushing the colder out right away southwards reaching southern parts of england and wales, but at least it will be a dry day and that will allow some of those floodwaters to slowly add away. Not entirely dry, some showers were northern scotland and wanted or two sneaking down the eastern coast of england, a cooler feeling sneaking down the eastern coast of england, a coolerfeeling day, temperatures in london around 14 degrees.
