Government was forced into a humiliating back down. Its delayed a bill to allow for people to be sent to mainland chinese courts, where demonstrators say a free trial isnt possible. But there marching are demanding more. They want the plan scrapped altogether. Basically, we shouldnt let the government have all power to us because we have our own freedom of rights and freedom of speech and this is why we are here. If the bill is passed on, has no democracy anymore. This isnt acceptable, my parents have come here today and all my friends came here today and all my friends came here today. Because we are really upset about this. If this happened, hong kong is over. Many in the crowd have blamed hong kongs leader carrie lam for instigating this crisis. They say the chief executive pushed ahead with extradition in the face of clear mass opposition. Now they want Something Else from her. The death of a protester last night contributed to a sombre mood. He had fallen from a building. People wore ribbons and carried flowers in his memory. If the idea was to take the stea m memory. If the idea was to take the steam out of the protest movement by delaying this bill, as you can see it hasnt exactly worked. The other people watching this are the Standing Committee in beijing. These are all chinese citizens and this is are all chinese citizens and this is a clear act of defiance from people who are saying that any attempt to erode their freedoms will be resisted in the streets. There is a renewed belief in the power of protest here, and as long as the threat of extradition remains, large proportion of the population seem prepared to mobilise in order to stop it. Stephen mcdonell, bbc news, hong kong. Five of the six conservative leadership candidates are preparing to go head to head in theirfirst televised debate tonight. However borisjohnson, the frontrunner in the race, will not be taking part. The foreign secretaryjeremy hunt has said choosing mrjohnson as the next conservative leader would mean britain leaving the eu without a deal. Our Political Correspondent nick eardley reports. Catch him if you can. Boris johnson is the frontrunner to be our next pm, and he still keeping his head down. He wont be at the first tv debate tonight, but his rivals know he is the man to catch. Jeremy hunt thinks he can make up the ground, but unlike mrjohnson, hes not promising brexit will be done by the end of october. This morning, he wouldnt even commit to definitely leaving this year. Why . Because he wants a new deal and believes europe could be open to it. They say that if they were approached by a british prime minister, someone theyre willing to deal with, who had ideas as to how to solve the Northern Irish border, they would be willing to renegotiate the package. The problem time and time again europe has ruled out reopening the Withdrawal Agreement and some tories fear this could go on and on and on. When people voted, they voted to leave. We havent left yet and that is why we are seeing notjust the uncertainty for the economy and the damage it is doing to businesses, many of them just want to know what we are doing, but also this corrosion of public trust and the tory party will be toast unless we are out by the end of october. Dominic raab questioned borisjohnsons brexit plan and others have too. Like rory stewart, the unlikely celebrity of the leadership race. He says he wouldnt serve in a johnson government and believes his Brexit Strategy doesnt stand up to serious scrutiny. Because nobody has yet had the chance to question him, and as soon as you question him, as i sit down with him and ask the big question how, how are you going to deliver brexit, how are you going to get no deal through, then it begins to come off the rails. There is a clearfrontrunner in the race to call this place home, but borisjohnsons rivals insist there is a long way to go. Tonight, without him, they will take part in the first tv debate, hoping they can do something to stop this contest becoming a foregone conclusion. Two teenagers have been charged with the murder of an 18 year old man who was stabbed to death at wandsworth in south london on friday. Scotland yard said 18 year old mohammed nadir dafallah and a 17 year old boy had been charged. A huge electrical power failure is affecting large parts of latin american. Some reports suggest that almost all of argentina and uruguay are without mains electricity. Parts of brazil and paraguay are also said to be affected. After severe flooding in lincolnshire, Emergency Services say theyre worried about the prospect of more heavy rainfall this week, with storms forecast in the coming days. Hundreds of people have already been forced to leave their homes at wainfleet and Thorpe Culvert after the river steeping burst its banks. Luxmy gopal is there for us. Just tell us whats happening there and how worried are the Emergency Services about whats coming round the corner . Well, it might seem clear and fine at the moment relatively speaking but until a couple of weeks minutes ago it was lashing down with rain and theres more heavy rain expected. Until a couple of minutes ago. Behind me is the pumping station which was vital to the efforts to minimise the risk of further flooding but that too has been further flooded and emergency teams have been working desperately to keep it going. They had succeeded and kept the vital parts clear so its still working. The Environment Agency have brought in high volume pumps to channel away some of the water. They are worried about the river steeping breaching its banks again as it did on wednesday at points where flood defences are weak and vulnerable. Yesterday the raf chinnock returned to drop bags of sand and gravel on those points to try and shore up defences. That has held up for now but they are clear we arent out of the danger zone yet which is why residents from 600 homes that have been evacuated are still not able to return because theyd been told its not safe yet. Thank you. Its one of the worlds most intense sporting rivalries and it Takes Centre Stage today as india take on pakistan at the cricket world cup. India are unbeaten so far in the tournament, and are currently charging ahead against pakistan, as andy swiss reports now from old trafford. Cheering if you wondered just what this game means, well, heres your answer. For india and pakistan fans, all roads lead to manchester. Whatever the transport, theyjust had to be there. This means a lot for us. We came from india only to watch the match. We are going to win the match. It is more than a cricket match. This is war. Its the biggest match in the world. Any sport, you cant beat it. The best part of a million fans had applied for tickets, with an estimated billion watching on tv. Talk about pressure. But it was indias batsmen that rose to the occasion. Rohit sharma setting a blistering turn, with the favourites of to a flyer. Pakistan have never beaten india at a world cup, and their early prospects didnt look encouraging as india raced past a hundred. But finally, a breakthrough. Rahul out for 57. At last, something for the pakistan fans to cheer. It was india, though, still very much in the driving seat. Sharma completing a stunning century to the delight of his jubilant supporters. Still a long way to go, but this greatest of sporting stories has so far been largely one sided. The very latest is that india are still going very nicely indeed. They are currently 234 2 and on course for a huge total. Pakistan have won only one of their four games so far in this tournament. They really have to win this to get their world cup hopes back on track. But it looks like they are going to need something very special indeed.

Iran has complained to britains ambassador in the country after the uk government accused it of involvement in the attacks on two oil tankers in the gulf of oman. The iranian authorities deny being involved. Amid the growing tensions, the british iranian woman jailed in tehran for spying, Nazanin Zaghari ratcliffe, has begun a new Hunger Strike. She denies any wrongdoing. Simonjones reports. Outside the Iranian Embassy in london, a lone tent symbolising the growing tensions between the uk and tehran. The husband of Nazanin Zaghari ratcliffe camping outside the building to try to make his voice heard. His wife remains injail following her arrest at tehran airport, after visiting her family three years ago, accused of being a spy, which she has always denied. We are camping out in solidarity with nazanin, she has gone on Hunger Strike in iran. We cant see that, but said if she was going on Hunger Strike we would do it here. Obviously you can see me, and i am doing it in front of the Iranian Embassy. Nazanin zaghari ratcliffes case is intricately connected with the difficult relationship between the uk and iran, which has just become even more tense. London has accused tehran of being behind attacks on two oil tankers in the gulf of oman, one of the worlds busiest waterways. Iran says that isnt true, making its displeasure known in a meeting with the ambassador. Jeremy hunt, who met mr ratcliffe yesterday, as said compassion should be shown to Nazanin Zaghari ratcliffe to allow her to return home to her family. For her husband and his supporters the wait continues, with no response yet from the iranian authorities. A little earlier i spoke nazenin ansari. Shes an iranian british journalist, and editor of kayhan london, which provides news for a global iranian community. We have been in a confrontation for a very long time, whether it be economic, cyber, through social media, through the airwaves, news media, but at the moment, what is really, really getting dangerous is the military confrontation. And what we have seen in the past years and also specifically in the past few months, the statements, the behaviour of the Islamic Republic has become ever more aggressive. And indeed, they have been issuing statement explaining their presence 24 7 in the persian gulf to make sure the waterways are open. But now we understand that when the two tankers gave out their first signals of distress and an american drone went to find out what was going on, it was shot at. This is what the Islamic Republic wants. The leaders really have given up, because at the end of their a0 year reign, it has been a saviour, and whether they can really be able to reform the infrastructure of the state to make iran to start providing the necessary means to its people and also become a really positive force on the international scale, and an active force in the international scale, it cannot. Us President Donald Trump has once again taken to twitter to criticise mayor of london sadiq khan. Retweeting a post from right wing commentator katie hopkins, he said yesterday london needs a new mayor asap. Khan is a disaster will only get worse mr trump later followed it up with another post saying he is a National Disgrace who is destroying the city of london the president s comments came after five attacks in london in less than 2a hours left three men dead and three others injured. Earlier i spoke to political scientist dr brian klaas about the effect of Donald Trumps controversial tweets. Trump and sadiq khan have had a twitter spat back and forth for some time now. This tweet is amplifying katie hopkins, who is viewed in this country as quite extreme. It is another one of these long standing feuds that is layered on top of trumps long standing animosity, and i would say bigotry, towards muslim communities. Trump has made part of his platform anti muslim bigotry. We forget sometimes that in december of 2015, trump literally said we should ban all muslims from entering the us. It is an extremely far right position to have, so this foil of sadiq khan is usefulfor him, particularly as he heads into the 2020 election campaign. It is important that we dont lose sight of how unusual and unacceptable it is to mainstream these comments. Katie hopkins has described migrants as cockroaches and used dehumanising language. Previously, trump retweeted the leader of britain first, an islamophobic hate group here. A surgeon who served time in prison for killing a patient before his conviction was quashed has raised concerns about the way black and ethnic minority doctors are treated by the professional regulator. Figures obtained by the bbc suggest the General Medical Council is more likely to investigate complaints against bame doctors than those who are white. Heres amara sophia elahi. I had lost my salary, i had lost my reputation, i lost myjob. David is a respected colorectal surgeon with over 20 years david is a respected colorectal surgeon with over a0 years of experience in the nhs and private sector. In 2010 a patient died under his care. He was investigated by the gmc, then charged and convicted of gross negligence manslaughter. He was later cleared on appeal after serving 15 months of a two year prison sentence. He believes his race played a part in the way his case and others have been handled. The General Medical Council, our regulator, investigates a disproportionate number of black and ethnic minority doctors. We should all proportionately take the blame for when things go wrong, and things do go wrong in medicine after all. Black and asian doctors make up around a third of the workforce in the uk, yet they are overrepresented in fitness to practise cases. Figures obtained by the bbc show that over a five year period, 44 of complaints made against black doctors led to investigations. For asian doctors it was a0 . And for white doctors it was just 29 . They also revealed i2 of black doctors were suspended or erased from the medical register after an investigation by the medical practitioners tribunal service. That is more than double the proportion of white doctors. The gmc said it is not complacent about its own processes being free from discrimination, which is why it regularly and independently gets them reviewed. It has commissioned research to understand better why black and asian doctors are disproportionately complained about, investigated and sanctioned. They destroyed my profession, they destroyed my career. Somebody surely should have been held to account for that, but nobody i didnt get any apology, nothing. On fathers day three years ago Andrew Suttie discovered he was going to be a dad. But one of his twin daughters was born with a rare disorder and died atjust eight months old. The charity that helped andrew and his family say 16,000 scottish children have a life shortening illness. Now, an appeal has been launched to try and ensure there is support for fathers like andrew. Louise cowie has been to meet him. So it was fathers day 2016. We had been trying for a while to have a baby, and we had had ivf, and it was the first round of ivf, and she came in on fathers day and said youre going to be a dad. We were delighted. A month or so afterwards we found out it was going to be twins, so we were delighted. At 32 weeks, the girls were born by c section, and jess was tiny. She was two pounds 11. Both georgia and jessica needed intensive care in the neonatal unit, and jessica was in for three months and georgia was in for three weeks. A week after discharge, we found out she had a syndrome, which was catastrophic. It is a horrible, horrible thing to go through. To find out at that stage that your child wont live to their first birthday, and all the hopes you had for that child are shattered at this stage. It is awful. My thoughts were, especially with two little girls, you will look after your wee girls, you will care for them for the rest of your life, you will worry about them for the rest of your life as well. I researched different support groups and whatnot, and i asked if we could be referred and they accepted us to go to rachel house, a childrens hospice. But you wouldnt know that, it is like a 5 star hotel. There are lots of families there at the same time. Every single one of them has a child that has a life shortening condition. Being someone that maybe didnt open up about my emotions in the past, there were other dads that were in the same boat, like most scottish males, they dont express their emotions. So it was good to be able to talk openly with them about how youre feeling. Georgia and jessica were sharing a room together, babbling away to each other. We knew something wasnt right withjessica, she stopped breathing. It really was out of the blue. Even though you expect it, it still came as a shock. Georgia, why dont you sing a song to jessica . Twinkle, twinkle, little star. How i wonder what you are. Right from the start with georgia, her sister, we always speak aboutjessica. Some of my friends, i think they maybe feel a bit apprehensive about speaking aboutjessica, but i like speaking about her, she was my daughter. What are your overriding memories of her . Her beautiful smile. Sorry. Just her relationship with georgia. They loved each other, they looked at each other. They definitely knew they were sisters. I will always remember her smile, and her chatting. She was chatting nonstop all of the time. The four time Tour De France champion chris froome says hes lucky to be here after suffering serious injuries after a crash while training in france. The cyclist posted this photo on social media with the words on the road to recovery after undergoing surgery. In a statement, froome said hes fully focused on getting back to his best. Sport and for a full round up, we go over to the bbc sport centre, well start with boxing as britons tyson fury made quick work of the previously undefeated heavyweight tom schwarz in las vegas. Fury entered the ring wearing the the american stars and stripes on his shorts and didnt take long to stamp his auth
