Britains thriving science sector who responded with anti putin chants. Would be put at risk by a no deal brexit that is the warning from the head of the wellcome trust, the uks biggest charitable funder of scientific research. The trust spends around £1 billion a year supporting research, most of it in the uk. Katy austin has more. Jasmin is a scientist from germany, researching sex chromosomes at the Francis Crick institute in london. She is not sure whether to stay in the uk, though, because the country is leaving the eu. My feeling is that over the next ten, 20 years, if brexit actually happens, especially if it happens without a deal, which seems likely now, that uk science is on the decline, with regards to yeah, funding opportunities, positions that are available, attractiveness of living here.

We will keep an eye on that and speak to our correspondence wh

So there will be some rain, some of it heavy, maybe even thundery across southwest england, moving its way up wales, the midlands, and showers into scotland. Sheltered eastern areas will see the best of the weather, with highest values of 2a degrees. Now, as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, that low continues to drift its way steadily eastwards, so thats where the real emphasis of the showers are likely to be, and stretching up into southwest scotland. It means a better day for northeast scotland, and for wales and southwest england. Highest values by wednesday of 22 degrees. So our week ahead looks a little different from the weekjust gone, much fresher, and some pretty sharp showers at times. Hello, this is bbc news. The headlines. Riot police in hong kong clash with thousands of protesters who defied a ban and marched through the streets for an eighth
