And coming up. Two of the biggest youtube stars face off in what could be one of the most watched boxing matches of the year. Hello and welcome to world news today. Special events have been taking place in germany to mark 30 years since the fall of the berlin wall. It was a symbolic moment that marked the beginning of the end of the cold war. The wall itself stood for 28 years, dividing families, friends and threatening nuclear war. Earlier, german chancellor Angela Merkel placed a candle at the berlin wall memorial and warned people not to take democracy for granted. This evening saw a party at the brandenburg gate. Amongst the highlights was a concert featuring the Staatskapelle Berlin orchestra. To round the evening off was a firework display, as germany remembered a key date in its modern history a moment that led to reunification. Jenny hill reports from berlin. Berlins getting ready to party. Celebrations to mark a moment which shaped the world as we know it today. Cornelia was 11 when the wall came down and the doors to the west were flung open. I remember also when we could go to the west part, the smelling. I would never forget about the smelling in the shops because it was such an amazing smell, i never had before. In 1961, with the world watching, east berlin became a prison. Its citizens sealed off from friends and family in the west. 30 years after it fell, it is still a powerful symbol of division. There is not much of it left today. It is the focus of commemorations, led by Angela Merkel, who herself grew up behind the iron curtain. For monika, an emotional day. The wall, she told us, tore her family apart. She never knew her grandfather, who lived in the west. By the time the wall fell, he was dead. It was, astonishingly, a bloodless revolution, which followed weeks of street protests. Many declared the birth of a new world order. One which some warn is at risk today. Translation the values upon which europe is founded, freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law, the preservation of human rights. They absolutely cannot be taken for granted and must constantly be defended. For germany, this is a bittersweet day. A commemoration of hardship endured, a celebration of freedom won but a chance too to reflect on new divisions. But tonight, lit up with celebration, berlin will simply remember the day so many never dared to hope would come. About two Million People in eastern india and bangladesh have been evacuated from their homes as a powerful storm hits the countries. In the last few hours, cyclone bulbul has made landfall near the border of india and bangladesh, with winds of up to 120 kilometres an hour. One person has been killed in odisha state and another in kolkata. It crossed the coast at the sundarbans, the Worlds Largest mangrove forest, which is home to endangered species including the bengal tiger. Our south asian editor, anbarasan ethirajan, has been following the progress of the storm. In the past, hundreds of thousands of people are killed in bangladesh in cyclones but they are working with the un and other agencies and have enlisted thousands of volu nteers have enlisted thousands of volunteers and what they will do firstly is sent Text Messages to mobile phones to various fishermen and villagers across southern bangladesh. They will then send them to different villages, using loudspeakers to tell people they need to go to safety. Otherwise they will also use army and Security Forces, physically putting people into shelters. These are some of the matter is they use and they also use television and radio, warning people about the dangers. They have realised, unless they move to safety, that lives are in danger and that was one of the reasons why people think we can hide over and set on top of this roof and if we spend a few hours here we can save oui spend a few hours here we can save our lives. But bangladesh has learned its lesson and the Disaster Management has been pretty good for a few years. How vast an area expect to be affected by this . About 12 coastal districts and many fishermen have been warned not to go to the sea for the past few days and in the neighbouring state of west bengal we have reports of how the cycle is making an impact, a couple of deaths there. But the full extent, once a cyclone crosses india and bangladesh, we will know after a few hours because the authorities will then assess how much damage the cycle has done. Our south asian editor. Lets take a look at some of the other stories making the news. President trump says hes likely to release the transcript of a second phone call with the ukrainian president as early as tuesday. Democrats have been asking for it as part of their inquiry to establish whether President Trump violated the constitution, by pushing ukraine to investigate his political rivals. The bolivian president , evo morales, has invited the opposition for talks to try to end weeks of protests and violence following his disputed election victory last month. On friday police in several bolivian cities came out in support of the Anti Government protestors with some of them calling for mr morales to resign. At least four people have been killed in the iraqi capital, baghdad, after Security Forces clashed with Anti Government protesters. Its the latest in a wave of demonstrations in the country, demanding a complete change to iraqs political system. Our middle east analyst sebastian usher told me more. What we have seen today is an attempt by the authorities to clear as much of the areas where the protests are being held, where they have been held for the past two or three weeks. They cleared Three Bridges which were giving protesters access bridges which were giving protesters a ccess fro m bridges which were giving protesters access from one side of baghdad the other so they could protest outside government buildings and foreign embassies. They have also gone nearer but not actually trying to get the president from the epicentre of the protest, the Central Square in baghdad, they have been clearing streets. As they have throughout, they have used extreme tactics, live gunfire, at least three people, we hear from gunfire, at least three people, we hearfrom medical gunfire, at least three people, we hear from medical sources, gunfire, at least three people, we hearfrom medical sources, have died through being shot an even more gruesomely, people have, one person has been killed by having a tear gas canister and these are heavy duty, almost like a grenade, shot into his head. There are horrifying images of the aftermath online and you can imagine that this is stirring up a great feeling amongst iraqis both there and abroad that no one is paying attention to what is going on in the authorities have now made a deal between themselves to try to finish these protests. We had the Prime Minister earlier today saying that he wants life to go back to normal, he acknowledged the protest had some justification and politicians have made mistakes and divide reform but his message was it is time to finish this, you have made your point. That was our medallist off middle east analyst, sebastien usher. At least three people are now known to have died in bushfires raging in eastern australia.

Any idea when you can go back home . Emergency Services . Any idea when you can go back home .

The roads in fishlake are like rivers tonight, unless you have a boat the only way to travel is by tractor. At times like these, local farmers are happy to help out. It is how emergency supplies have been reaching residents. All of them alarmed by how quickly it happened. Ive never seen it like this. In all my life. Apparently it flooded in 1933 or so. Ive never seen it this bad. Some people here have decided to stay, but for one woman that is not an option. The prospect of being trapped could not be more serious. We only moved in five weeks ago.

In a few hours, the boxing world could see one of most watched fights of the year. But its not professional boxers taking to the ring its two huge youtube stars. Ksi from the uk takes on american logan paul in los angeles. Its a rematch their first fight last year ended in a draw. The pair have a combined a0 million subscribers on youtube. Joining me now from los angeles is wally downeer, the boxing reporterfor the uks sun newspaper. Thank you forjoining us. For the uninitiated, explain to us a little bit about who these boxers are and why there is so much interest in this . If someone who was over 30, i would not know who they were either until they burst onto the boxing scene, two youtubers, orfloggers, like logan paul, a0 million followers, as you mentioned, and kay si made his name filming himself playing computer games, a big thing and i. Filming reactions to scoring goals. He had an amateurfight against a rival british youtube star and that ended with him winning and as the fight finished he called out logan paul and they then boxed to a draw in manchester and this is the big rematch. It is a very strange event, a fairly new event and eve ryo ne event, a fairly new event and everyone who stands to profit from it are saying lots of nice things but has not gone down well in the traditional boxing world. Tell us more about that. This does seem to be attracting a younger audience, one that is not traditionally into boxing. What is a professional world saying about this . It is pretty divided and i would say the majority of british boxing, coaches or fighters, think it is making a mockery of their sport and it is not something most fighters have to start really young, sacrificing so much, but there are some that recognise that selling tickets is the hardest thing to do in boxing. There are lots of great fighters that never reach their full potential become a champion because they cannot sell tickets, they might come from a part of the country that does not give them a following and they might not have an outgoing personality so there is something to be said for the fact that these guys have created their own brand and they have made themselves so popular that i think they are looking to sell around 2. 5 million pay per views and that is something that anthonyjoshua would dream of for his match. Some fighters understand and appreciate what they can do and they are probably a little jealous of it. I must put you on the spot. Who will win . From what i have seen at the media workouts that we have been attending here at venice beach, logan paul will be the better athlete, he wrestled in america, as the young guys do, and you can see he is quite big and strong. Looks like we lost him. Wally downes he is quite big and strong. Looks like we lost him. Wally downeer in los angeles. Thank you forjoining us. Now all the sport. We start with football and Bayern Munich might look for a new manager but they made it back to back wins ata but they made it back to back wins at a thrashing Borussia Dortmund a 0 in the German Bundesliga to move within one point of the leaders, monchengladbach, and lewandowski scored twice to continue his incredible run, he has scored in all 15 of their european and League Matches this season and meanwhile, matthaus pacino scored the opener as inter milan beat fredonia in serie a to go top, ahead ofjuventus. In la liga, benzema scored twice as real madrid won for nil at eibar but barcelona can replace them at the top of the table if they beat salt of ego, which they are currently doing, 3 1 with over one hour played. Celta vigo. In the english premier league, Leicester City are up to second on the table after beating arsenal 2 0 at home, jamie vardys 11th goal of the season but the inform side on their way. And then they doubled the lead thanks to james maddison, clinching victory, a fourth consecutive league win for leicester. A great victory for us against players that can really hurt you, lacazette, aubameyang, top players who can find the pass. But we were able to manage that threat and play some great football also. Chelsea are third after beating Crystal Palace 2 0, tony abraham scored his tenth league goal of the season in the 52nd minute before pulisic sealed all four points. It is their sixth Consecutive Premier League win, moving them above manchester city, who play the leaders, liverpool, on sunday. There were wins for burnley, everton and newcastle. And Sheffield United are fifth after draw at spurs. A record attendance of 77,768 watched englands women at Wembley Stadium this evening. But they couldnt give their fans the victory over germany they came to see. It was 1 1 going into the final minute of normal time when klara buhl got the winner to give germany a 2 1win. Onto day three of the world para athletics championships where theres been plenty of action again in dubai.

Here she has smashed the competition, lisa broke the world record and will definitely be one to watch next year in tokyo. Looking to the track, there was much anticipated event, there was much anticipated event, the teeth 5a 800 metres, which had the teeth 5a 800 metres, which had the rising star Daniel Robert rock from america versus the defending champion, from switzerland. The american had good form coming into this, winning the Boston Marathon and the London Marathon and he is here to switch onto the track events and he is certain he certainly did, leading from the beginning and nobody could catch on, got close in the final 100 metres but it was the american who was victorious, winning his first world title and marcel had to settle for the silver and we will see the american over the course of these championships as he goes again in the 1500 metres and the 5000 metres.
