Lewis hamilton spins, while Max Verstappen wins. The peleton head into paris where egan bernal will become the first colombian winner of the Tour De France well bring you the latest in sportsday in half an hour there have been chaotic scenes in Central Hong Kong where riot police have fired tear gas and rubber bullets against thousands of pro democracy protesters. Activists have been trying to reach the Chinese Governments official headquarters and the police are trying to stop them. Hong kong has now seen eight consecutive weekends of Anti Government and pro democracy protests which began over a extradition bill. But has now become a much wider protest against the level of democracy in hong kong, as nick beake reports. The latest late night clashes in a city which prides itself on being peaceful. At least, it did. Riot police are losing patience and clearing out the final protesters, who had ignored a request to leave. Once again officers deny they went too far. But today, tens of thousands of hong kongers were back on the street, protesting against alleged Police Violence during whats been two angry months of unrest. They spread out across the city, streaming past sunday shoppers. This is the eighth weekend of protest in this former british colony, handed back to china 22 years ago. The police had tried to ban todays event and warned that anyone who marched through the streets could be arrested, but, as you can see, it hasnt made any difference, and you do get the feeling now that many people in this city have simply no respect for the authorities, orfor the police. This evening another stand off, with officers blocking the way to the main Chinese Government building, which was defaced in a previous demonstration. The police and the people at loggerheads in a city at a crossroads. Nick beake, bbc news, hong kong. Our correspondent in hong kong, Stephen Mcdonell has just sent this update. Violence has increased here, police and protesters have shown the ability to increase. The protesters, pa rt of ability to increase. The protesters, part of the right Police Coming in here with tear gas, rubber bullets, pepper spray, and every week, it seems to get worse. All along, the democracy protesters are saying they want to be able to vote for their leader, its not something theyre going to get in a hurry. So it is hard to see how this is going to be resolved. They wont easily cave in and allowing them to choose their own leader, these protesters are carrying out every week now, and having multiple protests over the weekend, so they are not going to back down either, unless they get something approaching one person one vote, so really its hard to see where the end is. That Stephen Mcdonald there, he filed that report just a few minutes ago. Claudia mo is an independent, democratic legislator in hong kong. She said there has been a breakdown between the authorities and many of the young people. Earlier your correspondent was saying that the young seem to display this lack of respect to the authorities. The fact is it is a complete loss of any trust or confidence in the authorities, in particular the police force because there is this allegation, accusation around the city that they are working with the mob, the gangsters, the triad in hong kong. The more they seem to be inciting the young the more they come out in defiance. They will use their version of force and ultimately the young are telling me they have nothing to lose and it is their hong kong and they are fighting for it and it is their future. They want a truly democratic future. Nothing to lose. In a sense that is quite a worrying thing for young people to be saying because in a sense they have a huge stake in the future of hong kong, their own future, but equally that sense that there is no alternative to them. With respect to you and your colleagues, they no longer see the kind of Legislative Assembly as actually a way of getting their point of view heard and indeed acted upon. The legislature in hong kong is crashing, seriously. Not that we the democrats are not popular. We have more votes but we get fewer seats. We have a very twisted election system and on top of that the young are convinced that this time around if they dont get any change in the actual system, the mechanism that runs hong kong, they are not letting go and they are saying nothing to lose. They are actually saying they are prepared to die for this fight. That is very worrying. We have got these five young people killing themselves, saying that they are so desperate. And those who are notjoining those are saying they will fight on their behalf instead. So this is getting very exasperating. And carrie lam and her government. The chief executive in hong kong. Are morally bankrupt. Thats claudia mo member of hong kong legislative council, talking to me earlier this afternoon. The government is now working on the assumption of a no deal brexit thats according to minister michael gove. Mr gove, whos now responsible for planning for such a scenario, said his team still aimed to come to an agreement with brussels but, writing in the sunday times, he added no deal is now a very real prospect. Meanwhile the chancellor sajid javid has confirmed he will soon announce extra funding for no deal preparations. His deputy, rishi sunak, the chief secretary the treasury, told sky news sophy ridge that the government is looking at every option for brexit including a no deal scenario. It is absolutely right we prepare for it. We have to leave on our own terms. We cant be subject to the decisions of other people. We would be happy to enter into renegotiations. We want to remove this undemocratic backstop from the existing agreement but if the eu is not willing to talk about that then it is right we prepare properly, with conviction and with the Financial Resources that the treasury will now supply properly for all departments to make those preparations for our coming departure. Scotlands first minister, nicola sturgeon, said mr goves comments showed how out of touch Boris Johnsons government was. It is an absolute disgrace and beggars belief that michael gove is saying that the government is assuming we will have a no deal brexit. This is the same michael gove who has himself admitted how dreadful and no deal brexit would be. He said that farmers might never recover from it but now we have a government apparently with his full support going full steam from no deal. Its beggars belief and it shows just how out of touch this Boris Johnson government is and it is absolutely essential we do Everything Possible to stop that happening. Nicola sturgeon. The labour leader, jeremy corbyn, said his party would do everything they could to prevent a no deal brexit. What we are saying is no deal wed oppose and we think people should have a final choice on it. They could have a vote then between remain or whatever option borisjohnson decides to put to them at that time. With me is our political correspondent, jonathan blake. Jonathan, its not going to come as a great surprise to many people what michael gove has said, has he though given us any indication of what the implications are of us are facing a no deal brexit, in terms of the practical scenarios his department is planning for . Yes, i think he has outlined every possible eventuality in broad terms of leaving without a deal, as he says, in the piece from the sunday times, from everything to pet passports, to travelling to europe, and the implications will be far reaching, whether you see them as potentially negative or otherwise, from everything to do with how we trade with eu countries, to how we travel from the uk to the european union, and back and forth. And its not surprising that he has repeated borisjohnsons pledge to ta ke repeated borisjohnsons pledge to take the uk out of the eu, by october the 31st, as he puts it, no if so, no bots, no more delay, but what i think is new and potentially interesting is the fact that he is talking about no deal as the governments number one priority, and preparing for that outcome, even if its not the governments desired outcome, and the fact that theyre working on the assumption that it will happen, and that is a clear change i think with theresa mays administration, where yes, she a lwa ys administration, where yes, she always said it was sensible and right that the government should be preparing for no deal brexit, but you always got the sense that it was contingency planning, insensible preparation, and not something that they were banking on happening. So there is a difference here, and its clear that the whole machinery of government, if we are to believe what mr gove says is being thrown by the operation to prepare for a no deal brexit, it is of course right in their view that the uk prepares for that, but remember, its also part of the negotiating strategy, to try to get the eu to believe that the uk is willing to follow through with that outcome. That i suppose begs the question whether there is any indication of a shift of mood either in brussels, or among the 27 other heads of government, who ultimately determine whether or not negotiations happen. You are right. It is a change here, it does not necessarily mean a change of view in brussels or paris oi change of view in brussels or paris or in berlin, or the various other eu capitals, because they may well ta ke eu capitals, because they may well take the view that well, they are planning seriously for the they are preparing for it, but theyjust want us preparing for it, but theyjust want us to think that that is the case, and in the end, they will cave in, and in the end, they will cave in, and try to get the Withdrawal Agreement through again, but michael gove saying today, as we have heard from borisjohnson, gove saying today, as we have heard from Boris Johnson, the gove saying today, as we have heard from borisjohnson, the Prime Minister as well, the Withdrawal Agreement as it stands, will not pass the house of commons, and mr gove talks about it as a dish that people dont like, you cantjust keep reading it and offering it up again, and hoping that it will go down better the next time. They say they hope that you will change their minds, and allow changes to that deal, and a new agreement to be done, but so far, no sign that they are going to budge. Jonathan blake, thank you very much. Police in Northern Ireland say an explosive device found in craigavon in county armagh, was a booby trap designed to kill Police Officers.

Earlier this month, British Royal marines seized an iranian tanker near gibraltar which was suspected of breaking eu sanctions. Later in the month a british flagged oil tanker was seized by Iranian Forces in the strait of hormuz. Meanwhile, senior diplomats from britain, france, germany, russia and china have met representatives from iran in vienna to discuss how to save the 2015 nuclear deal. Iran said the meeting was constructive, but warned that it will further reduce its commitments unless its interests were protected. Our correspondent bethany bell is in vienna. It is interesting. We heard from the foreign minister of iran who said that the talks were constructive and all sides were determined to save been made before. Its interesting, while the president may have had warm words for borisjohnson, president may have had warm words for Boris Johnson, mr president may have had warm words for borisjohnson, mr iraq she was saying that the seizure by britain have an Iranian Oil Tanker earlier this month was a violation of the iran nuclear deal, and that is a step that has not been made before, and you will remember that britain seized that ship in gibraltar, because it said it had evidence it broke eu sanctions on syria. Now iran is linking that to commitments under the iran nuclear deal. This is a meeting that notjust the iranian and chinese delegates they were constructive but say the sides are looking ways through this impasse but it is very delicate and the complications with the tankers are making things that more difficult. Bethany bell in vienna talking to me a little earlier. Democrats in the United States have renewed accusations of racism against President Trump after he criticised an African American congressman.

Romanias chief of police has been fired after the apparent murder of a teenage girl whose repeated emergency calls went unanswered for hours. The 15 year old was abducted on wednesday, but managed to make three calls and give officers details about where she was being held. Her family say officers did not take her calls seriously, while police say they had difficulty tracing her. Jon ironmonger reports the kidnap of 15 year old alexandra has sparked outrage across romania and members of herfamily have joined large protests expressing theirfury with the polices handling of the case. The girl rang ii2 three times, her answers, but they arrived after 19 hours. Thats how long it took four offices to enter her suspected abductors house, despite alexandras repeated calls to the Emergency Services to report her kidnap and provide details of her location. The authorities said police initially struggled to trace the call but having reached the property, they waited six hours waiting for a warrant that wasnt required. Once inside, officers found fragments of human bones in a barrel as well as pieces of alexandras clothing and jewellery. This man, has been arrested on suspicion of child trafficking and the 66 year old was forced to be present during the searches of his home. Translation we focused today on the collection of different types of criminalist examples. Genetic tests are required in order to establish whether they are bone remains from different people. Alexandras abduction bears similarities with the disappearance in april of another local girl, 18 year old louisa, and its now feared her remains could also be found at the property. Translation we dont know anything for now, if shes dead or not. Shes a great child, what can i say . This is outrageous. Responding to the apparent failings in the case, the interior minister said he would not tolerate Police Workers who didnt do theirjob properly and has fired the chief of police. He was made to appear alongside him in a press conference. I accept my dismissal, he said, since we had some inadequate interventions that i hold myself responsible for. The investigation, meanwhile, is rapidly developing, as searches of a lake near the suspects property revealed a suitcase full of clothes and the remains of a partly burned human body. The failure to rescue a teenage girl has shone a spotlight on romanias police and prosecutors who are now under intense pressure to get a grip on this case. Jon ironmonger, bbc news.

A group of young people in coventry have set up a youth club, in the hope it might stop children in the city getting involved in knife crime. According to the latest figures from the home office, there were more than 150 thousand Violent Crimes across the West Midlands in the 12 months to march.

There have been at least five fatal stabbings in coventry in 12 months. Among them, ebonys friend, emmanuel lukenga, killed last month. He always told me to sing for him. And at that point i was so shy, because i didnt really take singing so seriously then. And i never did get the chance to sing to him and then when i look back now, all the conversations that we had just makes me think, i got to do this for him. Fridays is the brainchild of 18 year old tyler campbell, helped by volunteers like his college pal, michael. I think its time for young people to start helping other young people out. Me being young as well will help other young people be inspired to maybe stop doing what theyre doing and have a better future, and have better opportunities in their life. Just last weekend, a 15 year old was wounded in a drive by shooting outside a restaurant here. Another stark reminder of why teenagers are uniting against violence. Colin bell runs the Caribbean Community association, one of the regions oldest west indian groups, and a venue for the new youth club. When they wanted to do a fridays night, and it was about keeping young people safe because they were tired of seeing their friends and people they knew being stabbed and hurt and getting into negative things, we were like, you know, with open arms, we said, we will support you. And the specials founder member Neville Staple is backing it too. He released a single called put away your knives in tribute to his grandson, Fidel Glasgow died after being stabbed in coventry last september. And neville wants the youth club to bring harmony.

The mayflower ship sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in the 17th century, taking the pilgrim fathers from plymouth to the new world. When they landed, they set up home in what we now know as the us state of massachusetts. Now, a full sized replica of the ship is being assembled in north devon to mark 400 years since it set sail. But the people who built it, will set it alight and burn it to the ground next year as part of a traditional ceremony. Sarah ransome has been to meet some of the volunteers involved in the project. In a quiet corner of devon, a ship is taking shape. But this one will never take the high seas. Its a life size replica of the mayflower, which carried the pilgrim fathers from plymouth to america in 1620, and in just over a years time, it will all go up in smoke. This is very authentic. Because it is mayflower 400, it is identical to the mayflower ship that sailed to america, and they have done their homework on it and it is to scale, and it is brilliant. It makes me feel very proud, actually. We are coming up on deck, andy, and. Wow this is huge. From bow to stern, this is what the pilgrim fathers would have seen when they were standing on the quayside in plymouth . Yes, this is 100 built to scale.

It is all down to the 20 odd guys that turn up every weekend and do it. It is one thing to have the plans and another thing to come out here in all weather and do it. It is the latest in a series of huge replica structures they have set alight. A few years ago, thousands came to see a massive medieval castle go up in flames. On the night that we set fire to it, you will see grown men cry. It is quite emotional, you have spent three or five years in this case, putting it together. And afterwards people really feel that there is a hole in our lives. This band of brothers dont do things by halves. They dream big and then deliver. With just over a year to go they are confident this bonfire will be the biggest and best yet. Now, you may want to take a look down the back of your sofa, because there are still 145 million old style pound coins that have not been returned to the royal mint.

The temperature was raised at the second ball with the hex on amyjones from perry continuing. Three wickets in 13 minutes, the first was skiver going for eight. The team captain epitomised the meek surrender for the ashes and it was left of the lower order to cling onto any respectability. Just as the australians couldnt cling onto the ball.

The worlds top ranked player and mcilroy will play together on sunday in a final round for the first time in their careers.

You can keep across the final stage and keep up to date with all the reaction on the bbc sports website. Thats bbc. Co. Uk sport, but now on bbc news its time for the travel show. Hello and welcome to the travel show with me, christa larwood, and this week, we are kicking off by heading to new york city. Every year, over 13 Million People visit from all across the world. But back in the late 1970s, the city had a notorious crime record, and wasnt quite so welcoming to overseas visitors. But 40 years ago, the volunteer group the Guardian Angels tried to do something about it, and theyre still going strong today. In the late 70s, the subways were it was just an attack on your senses. There would be graffiti everywhere, broken windows. The gangs would patrol up and down the trains and they would control certain lines, and you would never see a cop. The Guardian Angels started, in fact, right here in the bronx. And i was a night manager of mickey ds, mcdonalds, and ijust decided to organise my closing crew to ride this very same train, it used to be called the muggers express, the number 4 train. This was a baptism of fire, this was the epicentre of criminal and Gang Activity in the late 70s. Whereas the subways have improved immeasurably from what it was like when we first started, now there are pervs out there and they flash themselves to women. So we have a perv busters unit, comprised of women, led by women who prioritise that, because what we want to do is empower women to fight back. Perv busters, its catchy it gets people to stop and notice and it makes sense. Sexual assaults on the subway are on the rise, and theyre very daring. They want to be on social media, they want to be out there, its really nuts. So, usually, sometimes on patrol, we go after one or two pervs a night. We have two different events going on simultaneously. We get a lot of photos and calls sent to us, we obviously have to make sure they are legitimate, and then that is when we put out the flyer and we go out to the location of, you know, said incident and take it from there. Were gonna get off at 190th. It is not taken seriously so much because they know our great state of new york is not enforcing sexual crimes, they know they are not going to get charged seriously, theyre back and forth, its a revolving door. The first significant moment was when i was five years old and my sister was eight. We were with our mom, coming up the subway stairs at 183rd, by the old carvell there. We were on either side of our mom and my mom was in the middle, and we were coming up the stairs, halfway up these stairs right here was where a guy passed us, he grabbed my mothers purse and pulled her back down the stairs. I can still remember the me and my sister were screaming, and we were scared because something really bad happened to my mother, and even to this day, itjust gets to me. Thats all i remember is screaming, and my mother, thankfully, she was not really seriously injured, but Something Like that, if it affects me to this day, i can imagine how what they think is simple crime as far as groping or flashing, that is with you for life. On any given day, we have roughly 500,000 people riding the subways. We want to make sure commuters are getting to and from safely, keeping anything from happening, obviously, preventing crime, as well as sexual assaults that are happening on the rise, we are looking out for everything. But if were there and we see it, we stop it. Now what you see a lot of, that you didnt see before, emotionally disturbed people, homeless people, oftentimes the trains are not clean, so aesthetically its bad and its not good for the emotionally disturbed or the homeless. But i would still accept what exists now compared to what used to be, there used to be so much graffiti in the trains, you couldnt even see out the window. And, actually, always fights and stabbings and shootings and Gang Activity. The violence was off the hook. Its a big difference, but we gotta keep it that way, we cant just assume its going to stay that way. In the beginning of the group, it was extraordinarily dangerous before we were recognised by the police. We had six Guardian Angels shot and killed on the line of duty, three dozen injured, many of them still going through therapy for the injuries that they suffered long ago. Now, we have gone through three generations of Guardian Angels, some of whom have gone on to become Police Officers themselves. So, the reception is positive, even though we remain independent and autonomous. For the last four years, weve been seeing a lot more uprising in sexual crimes. We usually pass these out. It is an information flyer because we do a patrol called perv busters, and its in regard to a lot of the perverts on the train, and we usually pass these up the car because not Everyone Wants to call the police. So, we field the information, we put out flyers and we pass on the information to pd if necessary. We try to do our best. When we are in the Guardian Angel uniform, its a big deal, were noticed a lot because the red stands out to begin with, and we definitely want people to see us, so if something is going on, its for them to look at us and feel a sense of safety. Theyve always told us that over the years when they see us, they feel safe. Ijust want to give a shout out to this man, appreciate what he has done for new york city. I am exuberant about the potential and the possibilities of the Guardian Angels in the future, notjust the here and now. I believe in self help and i believe that one woman, one man can make a difference, and i think we have proven that over 40 yea rs. Its high summer here in europe, which means that many of you are planning road trips around the continent. And, unfortunately, in the case of one viewer, picking up speeding tickets. But first, french railways has tested a remote controlled drone train that could lead to driverless passenger services. The train successfully travelled 4 kilometres through the suburbs of paris. Its been called a fundamental step towards the train of tomorrow. Back here in the present, mario biocca from montreal in canada says a rental car can be very helpful in ireland and scotland where the traffic is relatively light and public transport is sparse. But the costs of taking a rental car across the irish sea, which divides those countries, can be very high. So, rent one car in ireland, return it, then take a ferry or fly across to scotland. Theres lots of choice. Rent another vehicle, but drop it back and make your inter city travel in england by rail. Relatively fast, and with a bit of advance planning, extremely good value. Sue wilson was travelling north west of paris at what she thought was the legal speed limit of 80km h. But she says to help out with this, ive sought some specialist knowledge. Its true over the last ten years, the cooperation between the administrations in europe are much better than they used to be, and wherever you come from, if you have a fine in france, they will fine you in your home country. And the second reason also is that the speed Camera Technology has improved. Automatic cameras have an average speed check all over france, and these days, they are implementing a new generation of speed cameras which also detect the safety belts, the phone behind the wheels, the safety distance between vehicles and also, if you drive too fast when its raining and when you are supposed to drive 10km h less. Nardipad instagrams from the netherlands about a trip that she and her boyfriend are planning in the south of england. Well probably fly to london and are thinking of going south west. All the way to cornwall. We might stop in a couple of places like stonehenge. Is there anywhere else that you can recommend . The great west way is a newly created route thats being described as englands route 66. It leads west from london and takes in some splendid locations, including windsor, stately homes in the Thames Valley and the county of wiltshire and ends in bath and then bristol. Diversions north to the cotswolds and south to stonehenge are easy. The route even has its own website, greatwestway. Co. Uk, with details, attractions and accommodation. From the western end, you can make a magnificentjourney along the north coast of devon and cornwall, visiting the ruined castle at tintagel steeped in legend. You could follow the a30 road to its natural conclusion at lands end, but i think coastal towns such as st ives and fowey are more rewarding. Wherever you are heading, im here to help. Send in your questions and i will do my very best to bring you the answers. From me, simon calder, the global guru, bye for now and see you next time. Until next time, from me, christa larwood, and the rest of the travel show team, its goodbye. Hello. Last week was all about the heat, with it peaking on thursday. With potentially a new all time record high across the uk. For some of us through the week ahead, daytime highs will be perhaps 10 15d lower, as we move into a much fresher set up, and quite a showery one as well. We have had a front across the uk through the weekend, thats rather out stayed its welcome in some areas, still some heavy rain to come out of it for parts of the midlands, and the the northwest of england through the evening, drifting further north into scotland through the small hours of monday. Misty and murky to the north of the front, and a humid night with lows in the mid teens. Clearer skies to the south, lows of 12 13. For monday, the front continuing to make its way northwards, and weakening, means actually drier prospects for many, as we sit between weather systems, a little tiny ridge of High Pressure in here, but later in the day, this low will start to come into play, and its quite a deep feature. So, first thing monday, quite a lot of cloud around, misty murky conditions to the north, as the front drifts north, some showers for scotland, but brightening across Northern England. Sunny spells for many, temperatures in the mid 20s, but strong and gusty winds later in the day, around the coast in particular, the southwest gusting up to 45 mph. Perhaps for south wales too. And that low is going to be a realfuture, basically, and that low is going to be a realfeature, basically, through much of the remainder of the week ahead. Monday into tuesday, it drifts further eastwards, we will see strong winds on tuesday, affecting much of the south coast, and some pretty frequent showers piling initially into the southwest of england and wales, but the low destabilising things further north as well, so showers breaking out as far north as scotland. Eastern counties of england are likely to be driest and brightest, temperatures heading towards the mid 20s, but for some, 20 21 about as high as we will go. Wednesday, the low is still with us, the centre has drifted a little further east, its the turn of east anglia and the southeast for some heavier rain, along with Northern England and the midlands. Some brighter prospects towards the southwest. Through all of this, the very far north of scotland, shetland, doing very well, with some pleasant spells of sunshine. As we look towards the end of the week, still more showers around for thursday, but friday, should bring us a drier and brighter day. This is bbc news, im shaun ley. The headlines at 6pm.
