We are going to take it to hong kong. There were tens of thousands of people out on the streets again in hong kong. There had been a protest in a public park that had been authorised by police but it had spilled out and in view of the authorities, anything outside of the park was deemed to be illegal. Now we have got demonstrators and heavily Armed Security forces. You will recall that hong kong has seen eight consecutive weekends of Anti Government and pro democracy protests. Yesterday, police fired and rubber bullets at another protest in the north and we have seen the same action taken today by the police.

That bill has been dropped but it has become more about the autonomous status that hong kong is supposed to enjoy which of course makes it a very different place from mainland china. We will keep an eye on that and speak to our correspondence wh

I have learned how to cook. I am looking forward to more camping trips, because they always bring out new activities. Theres like a wild forest that you can go and explore.

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.
