Hundreds of people in lincolnshire still cant go back to their homes because of flooding, descibed by the Environment Agency as unprecedented. Most of argentina and uruguay, together with regions of paraguay and brazil have been without electricity after a massive power failure. Good evening. Five of the 6 conservative leadership candidates are preparing to go head to head in their first televised debate tonight. However, borisjohnson, the frontrunner in the race, will not be taking part. The foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, has said choosing mrjohnson as the next tory 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 is 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 whom 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 soon 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. Nick eardley, bbc news. Our Political Correspondent is in stratford in london where tonights debate is taking place. What is going to happen tonight . Good evening and welcome to what they are calling the spin room.

How are we expecting them to deal with tonights no show . Expecting them to deal with tonights noshow . Had a few moments inside the studio and we are not allowed to show you the set and tell the channel for programme is on air at 6 30pm but they have a semicircle of podiums and the candidate will be an alphabetical order and where borisjohnson will be, it will be empty and it is a physical piece of evidence that he decided not to turn up evidence that he decided not to turn up and he said he feels there would be too much of a cacophony of blue on blue if this many people were debating. Has an edge will be projected onto the wall behind the set at the man himself will not be here. But there will be of course plenty of time for him to answer other questions on tuesday when the Second Television debate takes place on the bbc. Thank you. Tens of thousands of protestors are back on the streets of hong kong a day after the territorys chief executive, carrie lam, suspended highly controversial plans to allow extraditions to the chinese mainland. Carrie lam has apologised to the public with utmost sincerity and humility. The demonstrators are calling for the proposals to be completely withdrawn and for mrs lam to resign. Our china correspondent, stephen mcdonell, has spent the day at the protests. Hong kongs streets are again a sea of protest, a day after the 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 is not possible. But those 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 out here. If the bill is passed, hong kong will have no democracy anymore. This is not acceptable. I have come here today and also my parents, 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 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 Politburo Standing Committee in beijing. These 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, a large proportion of the population seem prepared to mobilise in order to stop it. Stephen mcdonell, bbc news, hong kong. 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 have been charged. Emergency services dealing with severe floods in lincolnshire are now preparing for more rainfall with storms forecast on tuesday. Police drones have been monitoring water levels overnight after nearly 600 homes were evacuated in wainfleet, near skegness. Residents now face more uncertainty, with bad weather threatening to put more pressure on the river steeping. Some residents were left with up to a metre of water in their homes when the river burst its banks after 2 months worth of rain fell in just 2 days.

Some of them are double evacuees, in that they were moved out of their homes on wednesday when the flooding first began and moved to friends houses, and yesterday those properties were also evacuated. The flooding began on wednesday when the river steeping burst its banks when two months worth of rain fell in just two days. There is a fear that could happen again. Behind me, the pumping station, which emergency crews are desperately trying to keep working to keep the water away to prevent further flooding. There is a concern that at points where the flood defences are weak and vulnerable, the river could burst its banks again. That is why the raf chinook returned yesterday to put in gravel and sand to shore up the defences to plug any potential breach. Emergency teams say they might be here till friday because we have some weather Warnings Issued for tuesday with heavy rain expected. The Environment Agency is doing what it can to try to mitigate the effects of that, bringing in some Big Hydraulic pumps to help the efforts to channel the water away, but because of the heavy rainfall expected, it is not clear what the situation will be over the next few days, but it is certain that the residents of wainfleet will not be able to return to their homes any time soon.

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 sellu 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.

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 . For white doctors it was just 29 .
