Battle for a tiny piece of Literary History as a work by 14 year old Charlotte Bronte goes up for auction in paris. Good morning and welcome to the bbc news at 9 00. Police are surrounding a Hong Kong University campus after a violent overnight stand off with hundreds of protesters inside. Dozens of protesters tried to leave after sunrise but turned back as police fired tear gas and rubber bullets. At least a0 people have been arrested and police have been clashing with other protestors in the surrounding streets. Several hundred people are thought to remain inside the university. Lets go live to hong kong. Robin brant is there for us. What is the latest . The latest is, we now know Police Arrested 154 protesters. Most of them on the periphery of this University Campus, about a third of those were women, about a third of those were women, about two thirds were men. The youngest was 13, we are told. When we left this campus late last night we left this campus late last night we research on the way out by police who wanted to see our id and basically check we were real journalists. They believe that some of the protesters inside are wearing these yellow vests and i will ask my colleague to tilt slightly to the left, wearing the yellow vests reporters were here to identify themselves. They think some of the protesters have been dressing up as medics to try and escape. So everybody was being searched as they left, including us. That shows you the kind of level of suspicion on either side and the tactics the police say the protesters are using. In terms of what we have seen here in the last few hours, familiar scenes unfortunately. This road, 4 lane highway, the entrance to one of hong kongs tunnels, it is blocked by debris, chairs, bollards and gates set by protesters. The effort to have as much impact as they can on the hong kong infrastructure. Fire brigade attending to a fire on the edge of the year Due University about an hour ago. The blockade remains in place and the police are waiting to see. There is a stand off that continues. We are entering its second night now. We think the protesters are inside in considerable numbers, the police dont want to let them go free because they dont want them to be free to launch similar protests in future, they are trying to mop up the individuals they see as responsible . Yes, there are two points to that. Going into this building, firstly it is not particularly easy and the footbridges can be barricaded and blocked by the protesters. We saw no end of petrol bombs being manufactured and stored in crates and boxes by protesters and i suspect lots are still inside. Not a safe environment to try and operate m, safe environment to try and operate in, particularly if you are police trying to storm it and protesters trying to storm it and protesters trying to storm it and protesters trying to defend yourself. But Police Believe there are a hardcore of protesters inside and they are responsible for much of the increased violence and aggression we have seen in some these protests. They think they can essentially wait it out, but they are being much more controlling about letting people, protesters and even people working here for theirjobs like us, come out because they want to make sure no one can essentially escape. They wa nt to no one can essentially escape. They want to do as much as they can to deter and arrest and even charge some of these protesters. It is obviously Late Afternoon in hong kong, another development earlier today was the ruling by a court that the ban on face masks the government imposed is unconstitutional . Yes, this is still open to appeal by the government, but the High Court Ruled inafairly government, but the High Court Ruled in a fairly lengthy ruling, some 100 pages or so, the measures instituted by the government here a month or so ago which make face masks and covering one at illegal gatherings, most of these gatherings are deemed illegal, should be outlawed. That was intended to give the police more powers of arrest, also to make it more difficult for protesters to hide their identities. The high court has ruled that is unconstitutional. That is a slap in the face, pardon the pun, for the government. It was pretty much unenforceable anyway for the police because the demonstrations we have been to, the larger scale, more peaceful ones, everybody is wearing a face mask. It is impossible to pick up everyone, but it gives the police more powers to further arrest and detention. The people daily in beijing has said there is no room for compromise. We have to move on now and look at other news this morning, it is a busy news day. Prince andrew is facing calls to apologise to the victims ofjeffrey epstein for his Close Association with the convicted sex offender. A lawyer who represented epsteins alleged victims has told breakfast that the duke showed an astonishing lack of empathy in his bbc interview at the weekend. Jeffrey epstein took his own life while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Heres andy moore. We have come to Buckingham Palace in highly unusual circumstances. Its an interview that continues to dominate the national conversation. People close to Prince Andrew told the bbc he stood by his decision to do it. They said he wanted to address the issues involved with what he called honesty and humility. But its hard to find anyone who thinks it was a success. I think a member of the royalfamily who clearly was friendly with a convicted sex offender who is going to go on television, the first words out of his mouth should be im sorry, and if theres anything i can do to assist these victims in any way, shape and form, i would want to do that. But todays daily mail has claims that Prince Andrew has expressed in private the sympathy for epsteins victims that he hadnt expressed in public. The sun takes a different line. Theres also analysis of andrews admission that he had met epsteins girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell this year, even though shed been accused of helping epstein groom his victims. If there are questions that ghislaine has to answer, thats her problem, im afraid. Im not in a position to be able to comment one way or the other. When was your last contact with her . It was earlier this year, funnily enough, in the spring or summer. About what . She was here doing some running. She was here doing some rally. Ghislaine maxwell has always denied the accusations against her. This was her, six years ago. Elusive then, she hasnt been seen in public for many months and no one seems to know where she is now. Andy moore, bbc news. Well, Dickie Arbiter is the queens former press secretary and hes with me now. This interview obviously has raised at least as many questions as it has answered, really . Were hearing now from lawyers for the alleged victims. That is not a is it . Its not, how much pressure do to put on the ps point that the first words out of his mouth should have been regret for the victims and he should be offering to help the police in the us . I am not surprised the lawyers have come forward, if he is prepared to sit down on a Major Network and talk about his relationship with jeffrey network and talk about his relationship withjeffrey epstein for the world to see and then reported afterwards in global newspapers, they say he should be prepared to sit down with lawyers and the fbi. It is still Early Morning in the states and that is bound to happen. He has a lot of questions to answer, he didnt a nswer questions to answer, he didnt answer many on saturday night. His tea m answer many on saturday night. His team seem to be, the briefings to the media are, they feel it was a success . The media are, they feel it was a success . Where are the briefings coming from . Your guess is better than mine. My guess is the briefings are coming from his Office Rather than the Communications Office. This isa than the Communications Office. This is a solo silo. His silo that has been involved in it. If he had gone to the Communications Office at Buckingham Palace they would have said no, dont do it. That was going to be my next question, of course emily maitlis, the interviewer has been talking to the times this morning and said that the conversation they had prior to do the interview suggested that the prince was waiting for approval from on high . Not so much approval on high, what he was really doing and i think he bounce the queen into it on thursday when it was always in the can. I have done this interview and it is going out on saturday. Much the same way the prince of wales did atjonathan dimbleby interview in 1984. He didnt ask the queens permission. The goal posts were changed on that because it was supposed to be something about the Princes Trust and it was warts and all. This genesis was about the princes work but the gold coast goalposts moved and it was about epstein. You think that the queen didnt authorise it . I doubt it, she probably was informed it was happening. What happens in terms of Buckingham Palace, how can they contain the damage which, by most assessments, is extensive . The damage is done, you cannot contain it. It will be ongoing because he will have to answer questions in the United States or people come over here from the United States to ask questions. If he thought this was going to pass over as a result of the interview in time for his 60th birthday in february and walking his daughter down the aisle, where ever shes getting married next year, he has got another think coming because this is going to go on and on. Do you think for Buckingham Palace, there is a question on how to exert discipline, we talked about authorisation or not, will they be thinking to themselves, we have to keep a tighter rein on these people . It is difficult, when you have separate households. It was tried a few years ago to bring all the households press offices into one place, Buckingham Palace, but it failed. Each one is to do their own thing, they think they can handle the media and they want to be tom ellis. The sooner it is centralised so Everybody Knows what is going on and nobody goes off on a tangent, the better it will be. But the duke of york went off on a tangent and nobody knew until it was in the can. Dickie arbiter, thank you very much. And the bbc newsnight special Prince Andrew and the epstein scandal is available on the iplayer. Borisjohnson, Jeremy Corbyn and jo swinson will each address Business Leaders later as they hope to win support ahead of next months general election. The conservatives say theyll cut Business Rates and some Employers National Insurance contributions. While the labour leader will announce plans for hundreds of thousands of climate apprenticeships in england. And ms swinson will claim the lib dems are the true party of business, as they want to stop brexit. The director general of the cbi, dame carolyn fairbairn, told the bbc what they would like to hear talked about today. We do want to hear about brexit, how the uncertainty is going to be ended and crucially, how we are going to avoid no deal next year because that doesnt come off the table, even if there is a new deal done in december. So that is the first thing, it really matters forjobs and investment. We also want to hear about ways that the economy is going to be made more competitive. So looking at ways that Business Rates may be looked at, the biggest property taxes in europe, apprenticeship levy, how we get on building the big Infrastructure Projects of our day like hs2 and heathrow. Lets get more on this from our assistant Political Editor norman smith. It is obviously business day as all three leaders pitch for the business vote. In normal times he would say it isa vote. In normal times he would say it is a home match for the tories. Less so now because of brexit and the disquiet in the Business Community about what that will mean in terms of future trading relationships with the eu. Concern about Boris Johnson and relationships with the eu. Concern about borisjohnson and whether if he wins the election if he can close the deal with the eu by December Next year. The fear being, if he doesnt we are back in no deal country. Also a bit of disquiet about Boris Johnson country. Also a bit of disquiet about borisjohnson himself. Not a typical corporate pinstripe tory. He has been, lets say, pretty rude about business in the past and then there is the immigration issue. A lot of unhappy in the Business Community about the proposed australian style points system, which the tories want to introduce. In part because of a lack of clarity about how it would work, he would be allowed in. Above all whether it will choke off business ability to choke off unskilled labour. The business secretary, Andrea Leadsome defending the governments approach on immigration. We will have an australian style points system which will enable a far better control over who comes to our country. Youve been in office nine years, im asking about your record, youve had control, youve been in office and you havent done it . The issue of course with immigration is that there are families that come together and they are able, under current immigration rules, to be able to come to this country under a different set of rules. Thats why we are introducing a points based system which will enable us to be fair to all of the world and not just to the european union. Interesting to see what reception Jeremy Corbyn gets at the cbi conference today. I have been at a few of the cbi conferences and normally the questions from Business Leaders tend to be perfectly courteous, not too probing. I wonder actually whether we might see a different tone today, in part because of the bombshell announcement at the weekend from john mcdonnell, a Labour Government would nationalise parts of bt. I think that at the Business Community com pletely think that at the Business Community completely by surprise. But also the package of measures being put forward by labour, higher business taxes, taking 10 of the shares of some of the larger companies, strengthening employee rights. That isa strengthening employee rights. That is a package which will cause some unease in the Business Community. Albeit labour have been pretty open about it. They will, they say, produce a radical, transformative ma nifesto. Produce a radical, transformative manifesto. But they tried to ease the concern in the Business Community by saying we will invest in infrastructure, invest in skills. They are talking about 80,000 more climate apprentices. 0n climate, we gotan climate apprentices. 0n climate, we got an interesting sign that labour might be going to pull back from suggestions they will commit to ensuring britain being Carbon Neutral by 2030. Listen to the business secretary Barry Gardiner this morning suggest that has gone on the back burner now and they are talking about 2050. Have a listen. We will have our power sector 90 powered by renewables by 2030. That is absolutely in line with achieving the overall targets that we have set, which is to make sure that well before 2050, we have achieved the net zero, which we need to do. Right, so its still 2050 for the net zero . That is the global target we need to achieve, indeed. And, not forgetting the liberal democrats, jo swinson will address the cbi conference this afternoon. Her message, and a surprise, we are proud brexit, brexit is what business wants. Also maintaining freedom of information. If you have a remain parliament, which you will have if you vote many liberal democrat mps into parliament, then we will be able to push for remain, which is good for business and the only uncertainty in that context, is how big the upside is. We have talked about the 50 billion remain bonus which we can invest in Public Services if we remain in the eu. The alternative, which is to deliver brexit, is how damaging it is. All the Prime Minister will be doing is trying to negotiate a deal that is worse than our current deal. No getting away from it, the big overarching issue, as i guess in the selection is brexit. That is crucial for many, many businesses and they will be assessing the different parties in terms of their approach to brexit and what that might actually mean for their business. Norman, thanks very much, as ever. How is this all playing with voters, we have four weeks away from the election. Here to assess the mood is sirjohn curtice, professor of politics at the university of strathclyde. Good morning. How does it look, you crunch the numbers, look at the polls and you do the thinking, where do you see it going . The truth is, the polls look rather rosy for the conservatives. We have had seven polls published over the weekend, including one this morning. Between them they suggest the tory vote is up them they suggest the tory vote is up by them they suggest the tory vote is up by about three points. Compared with the position a week ago. I think we should bear in mind, it is an election in which we have had the overhang of what happened in 2017, when the labour party gradually and then eventually, dramatically narrowed the conservative lead. There is no sign of that so far. If anything, it has been moving in the right direction. 0ne anything, it has been moving in the right direction. One of the things that happened last week, the brexit party decided to stand down in every conservative held constituency. The polls at the moment are between how they are handling that and one of they are handling that and one of the things we are not sure about is the things we are not sure about is the extent to which the increase in conservative support is simply the product of brexit party support, is discovering they dont have a Brexit Party Candidate in their constituency. The increase in the conservative vote, is arising amongst the voters, the party has two thirds of them, more than it had in 2017. So it sounds as if leave voters are crystallising around the conservatives. Is that happening in seats where both are standing . That is the one thing we dont know. Given that the brexit partys vote across the country is down to around 6 , there cant be that much of a Brexit Party Vote left, even in the constituencies where they are fighting. And probably there isnt an awful lot more the conservatives could hope to gain by squeezing in that direction. But i think what we can say is on the other side of the fence, remain side of the fence, there is assigned the labour is making a bit more progress at the expense of the liberal democrats and one clear warning sign to the liberal democrats in the polls, they are investing a lot of hope in being able to win over, in a wayJeremy Corbyn perhaps cant, the 20 or so of remain voters who say they will vote that the conservatives. There is no sign in the liberal democrats are making progress in their group. Equally, labours attempts to gain ground amongst leave voters by talking about the domestic agenda, nationalisation, no sign that that is making any impact at all. Labours votes amongst leave voters is flatlining. There is a clear warning to the principal opposition parties, so far the strategy isnt working. Labour want to talk about something other than brexit, but it seems to be the thing that is dominating how people switch. At the moment, the lib dems are not successful at winning over either. What about scotland, such an important Battle Ground . What about scotland, such an important Battle Ground . The truth is, in scotland we havent had much in the way of separate polling for scotland. What we have now dates from mid october when the conservatives were in a weaker position in the polls than they appear to be position in the polls than they appearto be in position in the polls than they appear to be in the uk wide polls now. If we take that into account and we look at the recent britain wide polls, it is clear the snp should at least hold the share of the vote they had last time at 37 . But maybe the conservatives have now recovered some ground north of the border. Such they might have a reasonable chance of hanging on to the 13 seats they are trying to defend. For the Labour Party North of the border, it doesnt matter what polling you look at, it is relentlessly pessimistic and the snp will be looking to pick up all of the seats they lost to the labour party in 2017. Thank you very much, we have to leave it there.

Riot Police Surround a University Campus with hundreds of pro democracy protesters inside. Prince andrew faces calls to apologise to the victims of sex offenderjeffrey epstein. The main Party Leaders will set out their election pitches to business at the cbi conference. Battle for a tiny piece of Literary History as a work by 14 year old Charlotte Bronte goes up for auction in paris. Time now for the morning briefing, where we bring you up to speed on the stories people are watching, reading and sharing. 0ur reporterjoe tidyjoins me now. 0ne one of the things you are doing during the course of the Election Campaign is looking for what is happening on social media. I know one thing you have been looking at this morning is the idea of barge wards. It is an article from our collea g u es wards. It is an article from our colleagues at trending and they have written up this phenomenon that is going on with people putting up bar charts, saying we are the only party that can win here, but these are controversial sometimes. We have seen issues around these bar charts already. 0ur colleagues at trending are looking at a bar chart that was doing the rounds in hastings and rye. This is the article. They are looking at where these charts come from and who compiles them. There are some very creative uses of statistics, as we have already seen in this election. And even before the election started, we heard from the election started, we heard from the Uk Statistics Authority about how serious this is. They said statistics can be a powerful support foran statistics can be a powerful support for an argument but misuse damages integrity. My colleagues at trending say their argument is a great thing about where we are online now is that when people put this information out, people will immediately pick it apart and see if there is any truth behind it and we get some very funny responses. Like this one. There is a lot of it happening. I was looking through twitter at some of the high profile candidates out campaigning and one of them had as part of the literature they were showing on the doorstep was a bar chart printed out ona doorstep was a bar chart printed out on a big a3 of paper. It is all well and good if you go online then you can have this stuff deconstructed but what if you dont want to go online . This is a very serious issue here. Is any of that Campaign Literature being checked in any authoritative and impartial way . Not that i know of there are organisations online like fullfact organisations online like fullfact or trying to help us understand how factual they are, but somebody glancing at this chart, somebody on a doorstep, cant know what is true. And parties need to be held accountable . Yes, and it speaks to the problem with our system. If you are ina the problem with our system. If you are in a seat that is not marginal and it has always gone one way or the other, you wonder if you have any power and if your vote means something but if you are shown a chart that there is actually your party, the one you want, could win here, that might persuade you to go one way. I know you are watching, said that is helpful for starters. And on the paid advertising space, four weeks away from the election, is that heating up . Yes, we have seen interesting shift in tactics. The conservatives are taking this approach quite often now. Headlines from newspaper articles are being sent out and paid for advertising. This was a labour tactic early on in the election. Articles in the garden, sent out to people on facebook. Maybe that has been working for them. Facebook. Maybe that has been working forthem. In facebook. Maybe that has been working for them. In the guardian. In the last couple of days i have noticed that shift. The snp on instagram, their stories are now asking for indyref 2020, so clearly asking for indyref 2020, so clearly a big campaign for them as well. And i want to bring up the liberal democrats and their advertising. They have been fascinating in this general election. Look at this advert, it is one of almost 4000 that the party is currently running. The other parties have gotjust a few, and this is going out to women who are 25 to 34 and men 55 to 64 and that is it and i dont know why and that is it and i dont know why andi and that is it and i dont know why and i would love to know why. We would like the facebook advert library to tell us more details like where it is going and what interests these people have. It is amazing that they have gone so targeted and they are doing something that might be working for them but we will not know until the election. Can you ask them . If you ask them, do they a nswer them . If you ask them, do they answer the question . them . If you ask them, do they answer the question . I have asked. Two weeks ago i asked them about something and they never got back to me andi something and they never got back to me and i figured something and they never got back to me and ifigured it is probably pointless to ask because they will not give away trade secrets. Speaking to a Marketing Executive who is very familiar with how Facebook Advertising works, he thinks this shows they have got Real Intelligence and they know what they are doing. He says the more targeted they are. You sound surprised that they are. You sound surprised that they might know what they are doing they have clearly got lots of data that we dont know about and they are targeting their adverts to such specific people they are convinced that it will work. Fascinating. Do come in and crunch some more when you have had time to digest. While we are on the most red and the most watched and the things you are paying attention to, have a look at what is popular on our website this morning. The most red. This is a story you might have seen already. Israel criticised for an appalling bushfire remark. He linked the crisis to same sex marriage and abortion. 0h crisis to same sex marriage and abortion. Oh dear. What have i done . The quote coming down the page. A little taste of gods judgment. That is people that people are paying a lot of attention to this morning, israel folau. And most watched is they had shot the boys in the head, relating to a panorama investigation going out tonight. And it is in the news bulletins this morning because it is the allegations in some quarters that war crimes were committed in the iraq and afghanistan wars by british troops, 0peration northmoor, and panorama has had a look and there is a question about whether there will be an icy seat investigation now. Icc icc investigation. Dozens of suspicious killings in night raids, one of which included three children involved in afghanistan. There is a lot of discussion about that particular case. Maybe worth a look at that story develops. That is it for the morning briefing this morning. Lets catch up with the sport now. Time for a full round up from the Sports Centre with sally. Good morning. We have got plenty for you this morning. England first of all. Theyd already qualified for next summers european championships, but that didnt stop england from putting in a hugely impressive display in kosovo last night. They won their final qualifier 4 0, with manager Gareth Southgate saying theyre progressing better than they did in the run up to the last world cup. Jane dougall was there. A convincing win to end englands qualifying campaign and a difficult week. The lasting memory from this match will be the way the home fans embraced the english. Even during the National Anthem it was the kosovan sections holding up the st georges cross. Harmony between fans one less thing for Gareth Southgate to worry about. Raheem sterling back in the side after the manager dropped him for a spat with team matejoe gomez. England fans waited half an hour for harry winks to put them ahead. Captain harry kane had hit the post earlier when the ball fell to him in the 80th minute. He was decisive. Then just two minutes later, substitute Marcus Rashfords strike got englands third. That is so precise. This was a chance for englands Young Players to shine and in the 90th minute mason mount scored his First International goal and it finished at four. England have already qualified for next years euros. Kosovo have a slim chance via the play offs but for them this match was about history. Looking back over the relationship between the two countries but also making history because this was the first time they had ever hosted england. Jane dougall, bbc news, pristina. That result for england all over the back pages of this harry slotters is the headline in the mirror with two harrys winks and kane on the scoresheet last night. The times calls harry winks englands fox in the box. And the star says england are in great shape ahead of euro 2020. There was a record breaking attendance in the Womens Super League yesterday. More than 38,000 fans were at Tottenham Hotspur stadium for the north london derby between spurs and arsenal. Its the second time the leagues attendance record has been broken this season. The home fans left disappointed though as kim little and vivianne secured a 2 0 win for arsenal. Stefanos tsitsipas has won the year ending atp tourfinals he came from a set down to beat Austrias Dominic Thiem in a deciding set tie break. The 21 year old from greece is the youngest winner of the event in almost 20 years, and takes home a couple of Million Pounds in prize money. Were going to reflect now on what was a brilliant autumn injapan for englands rugby players with the man who masterminded their run to the final head coach eddie jones. Feedback on the floor again . How do you regroup after such a dramatic tournament with so many twists and turns . We have just got to reflect that we did a lot of good things. Not quite good enough in the final but we did a lot of good things and there was an opportunity for us to move forward and be an even better team. We are just looking at pictures from the final and that momentous game which was hugely disappointing for the players and for you, i know. Disappointing for the players and foryou, i know. One disappointing for the players and for you, i know. One other thing is you spoke about. Look at that face, not happy 0ne you spoke about. Look at that face, not happy one of the things you spoke about when you are trying to work with england what he wanted to work with england what he wanted to re m ove to work with england what he wanted to remove reticence and politeness from the players. Explain what that means. Were england too polite . |j means. Were england too polite . think they always had a tendency to need to be the underdog. Need something to get them really up for the fight. I think we have done that toa the fight. I think we have done that to a large extent. We have got a tea m to a large extent. We have got a team that now has the confidence to go out and win the game from the start of the game and i have been really pleased with the development of the players. How do you get over that final . That is tough. Time heals. Also there is the next challenge, which is the six nations and you know that every country will be coming for us, so that is the great thing. You say it is the great thing but how do you persuade your players it is the great thing . They will be ok. They love playing for england. We had two things we wanted to achieve at the world cup. We wa nted to achieve at the world cup. We wanted to win the trophy and have a world cup where the players didnt wa nt world cup where the players didnt want it to end because they had a great experience. I think most of the players would agree with that and now they have a chance to build on that for the six nations. Lets just rememberfor a on that for the six nations. Lets just remember for a moment of that game against the all blacks. I think iam right game against the all blacks. I think i am right in remembering that one of the things in your mind you wa nted of the things in your mind you wanted to do was to almost create the perfect game of rugby. Is that right . And when you look back on that game, is that the closest that your team has ever got to do that . think in those circumstances, we played brilliantly and that was one of the difficulties we had in the final, that we play so well, but you have got to be a best to beat new zealand. We gave them one and they got two more and with that it could have been 30 0. Got two more and with that it could have been 300. Do you think that when you came to the final it was almost a bit like the players had a hangover from that game . It was hard for them to regroup . It wasnt quite a hangover. It was more that you give your absolute best and then in one week you have got to get to your best again and that its always difficult and we were not quite good enough. There is a bit of competitive toughness that you developed over years of being a team and maybe we were just a little bit immature in that area. One player you have spoken about in your book, and you are here talking your book, is toryjenks, who you coached many yea rs is toryjenks, who you coached many years ago. When you are coaching him, you gave him a really hard time and you have said that if you are coaching that player now, that type of player, you wouldnt coaching in the same way. How have you changed and how have players changed . Now you spend 10 at the front are 90 at the back guiding players where to go. Now it is not about telling them what to do but guiding them where they need to go. Sometimes that time at the front of the room is still very important. Do you still enjoy it . Love it. Why . What is it that you love . I love coaching players andi you love . I love coaching players and i love making players better and i love seeing teams play well. Again that semifinal against new zealand, where your team is like an orchestra, everything is moving together, great synergy, great cohesion, and it looks like there is Nothing Better on earth and being pa rt Nothing Better on earth and being part of that team. So looking ahead to your future now, part of that team. So looking ahead to yourfuture now, you part of that team. So looking ahead to your future now, you are with england until 2021 and happy to stay . Happy to stay. Beyond that, what is next for you . Most coaches dont decide where they are going to go and dont decide where they are going to go and i am in the same position. I will enjoy the next two years and see what happens after that. What on earth do you do to relax . Anything at all . Watch breakfast in the morning. I love match of the day. I love watching football. I have got more involved in watching it since i have been here. Can you learn anything from football coaches perhaps . Do you watch what they are doing . 100 . I love the way that Juergen Klopp and pep on match day they are dictatorial hard nosed guys, they are dictatorial hard nosed guys, no discussion with the players, and then when the game finishes they are like their best uncle, around them, they love their players, they speak positively about their players. You can see they have created this great environment. The way that liverpool have changed the way that liverpool have changed the way that liverpool have changed the way that teams defend, i love watching that. That is what is happening in rugby. Every sport is the same. Trying to take time and space away. The way liverpool are able to press in a coordinated way is brilliant to watch. Eddie, it has been great to spend time with you this morning. Thank you for coming in. Eddiejoness this morning. Thank you for coming in. Eddie joness book this morning. Thank you for coming in. Eddiejoness book is out on thursday, my life in rugby. More for you later. Thank you. More now on the election and one of the key Battle Grounds will be wales, where labour has traditionally been the dominant party. In 2017 it took 28 of 40 welsh seats, but opinion polls suggest it could now could lose ground to the conservatives and plaid cymru. Hywel griffith has been speaking to voters in the constituency of bridgend. For a century, labour has had a firm grip on wales, until this year, when it fell to third place in the euro elections. Just a wobble or a turning tide . Its constituencies like this which will be the test. So what will swing it . Martin says the environment would normally be his number one issue, but not this time. Thats better. His wife is german, so theres Something Else on his mind. I think this election is ultimately all about brexit, despite what the politicians may say. Its ultimately a leave or remain vote. Bridgend voted to leave the eu in 2016. Whats followed has frustrated people on both sides. Jo says shes a floating voter and wants politics to move on. Nothings being done, really, about our economy and looking at the nhs, looking at, you know, the homeless all the other issues that weve got in this country. Everything seems to have gone on standstill. For more than three decades, this constituency, like most of wales, has been solid labour territory, but the opinion polls suggest that may be about to change. Traditional voting allegiances, it seems, may have been washed away by the tumult of the last three years. The High Water Mark for the tory party in wales was 1983, when they last took this constituency. So, could it happen again . The key to winning a seat like bridgend will be how many of those labour voters can actually make that switch, hold their noses in some cases, because dont forget the conservative brand can be pretty toxic in parts of south wales, and switch to the conservatives . It may be a tough sell for some of bridgends workers. The town is bracing itself for the closure of its biggest employer, the ford plant. Forjason, it will be the second time hes lost his job as the Company Shifts overseas. Its too easy to close plants and take production away from the uk. Unfortunately, ive been a victim of it twice. So whichever party can give me support or protection for workers rights within the uk, theyre going to get my vote. For plaid cymru and the lib dems, just holding onto their seats will be a good result but its how labour and the tories perform in constituencies like these which could decide who forms the next government. Hywel griffith, bbc news, bridgend. Large parts of venice are once again under water, as another exceptionally high tide inundated the city. Three of the worst ten floods since records began in venice, nearly a hundred years ago, have now happened within a week. Rich preston reports. For venetians, more water and more misery. A week of flooding has closed businesses and attractions in one of the worlds most popular tourist destinations. This, the famous st marks square, normally filled with people. The citys narrow streets and alleyways turned into a network of canals themselves. The floods, known as the aqua alta, brought suffering and heartache. Translation we had lots of damage. The electrical system went underwater and lots of merchandise got lost. Necklaces and other goods, all underwater. We had to work a lot, rince everything. Every day, as you can see we have had to lift desks and drawers. Rinse everything and clean up. There is a lot of work still to do. Rainfall of 140 millimetres floods roughly 70 of venice. Sundays rainfall was forecast to be around 160 millimetres. In the end, it was slightly lower. A small relief for residents and business owners. The mayor of venice has blamed the recent extreme weather on climate change, calling for more to be done. Translation the water has devastated the city, but venetians are on their knees only when they pray. Venice will stand up. It will always stand up. But i deem it appropriate that promises made by the government and all Political Forces be carried out. Strong winds brought these surges of water into venice and are threatening other areas, too. Further south, in florence in tuscany, the threat of the rising river arno. Back in venice, the waters are now due to subside, but a massive clean up operation lies ahead, as well as the constant fear what about next time . Rich preston, bbc news.

Just before we go to the weather, lets ta ke just before we go to the weather, lets take another look at events in hong kong. The top story the ongoing stand off at the polytechnic university, which has been going on for longer than 24 hours, with many protesters still inside and with those emerging from the university being arrested by police, effectively the university under siege. There have been petrol bombs and rocks thrown at police there and they have responded with rubber bullets and tear gas. The government also suffered defeats today in the courts where the decision byjudges that its mask ban was unconstitutional. A lot of tension there at the end of the working day in hong kong and still this very tense stand off continues. Now lets ta ke tense stand off continues. Now lets take a look at the weather. Thank you. Temperatures got down to minus nine celsius in rural scotland. Look at the snowcapped mountains that in the highlands, with a red tinge from the sunrise. A beautiful start to the day. Low pressure towards the atlantic. Things up in the next few days but we are in a gap now, cloudless with lots of sunshine, and finance money for many others into the afternoon. Some showers around in eastern parts of yorkshire and lincolnshire which will clear away as we go into the afternoon with some high cloud in Northern Ireland making sunshine turn hazy here. And fog across the west of scotland in particular around the glasgow area. That will prevent temperatures going up too high. Just one celsius here and elsewhere five to 9 degrees. There will be fog developing tonight across parts of cheshire and in central and southern areas with mist and fog patches developing elsewhere. With the clear skies, it will turn quite cold and widespread frost across scotland, through england and eastern wales, with temperatures down to minus one or minus seven even minus ten in rural scotland. Not quite as cold in Northern Ireland with temperatures above freezing because there is more cloud and some rain eventually moving into Northern Ireland on tuesday. Elsewhere the patchy fog will tend to clear away. Generally there will be more cloud across wales in the south west and the best sunshine in eastern areas throughout the day. It will be quite chilly with temperatures four to 6 degrees but not as cold towards the west because we have this weather front, the rain gradually moving further east. This low pressure will drive conditions for the rest of the week. These weather fronts, there conditions for the rest of the week. These weatherfronts, there is uncertainty about how far north and east they will go and it depends on how much rain gets into northern and eastern areas, and by wednesday it is still across Northern Ireland, wales and the south west of england with more cloud and rain at times.
