Theyve never seen anything like this. Its the highest recorded level for the River Derwent in derby. The floodwaters have begun to inundate parts of the city centre. The derwent still hasnt peaked, but already parts of Derby City Centre are now at the river level, and that means as it pours out over its banks, its pouring into streets like this. Around the corner, Council Workers are warning local businesses to prepare for the worst. The river levels have risen substantially overnight and during the course of the day, so our absolute priority is safety of our citizens and the people in the city centre. Next to the river in flats which are about to flood, residents are getting ready to leave. It looks like i need to build the ark, basically. Ive had to move my animals two by two, you know . And the rivers been flooding. Ive been here four years and its the first time its really broke its banks. The city centres been at a standstill, and floods have caused chaos on the roads all round it. Getting home has been the priority, no matter how difficult. Phil mackie, bbc news, derby. Now on bbc news, our world. For five months, forfive months, huge protests have rocked hong kong. Hundreds of thousands of people taking on the authorities and the might of china. So why are they risking so much . In an ever more violent battle. And how will this struggle and for ordinary hong kong is . Our city is really under chaos, right now, we are within the flame. Bobby and joyce, not their real names, a Monitoring Police movements. They are constantly on social media, feeding the information to a hub that shares it with the crowds. Part of a sophisticated web that makes these protests so ha rd sophisticated web that makes these protests so hard to police and control. There are two police cars. When police started to take action, then we have maybe ten, 20 or even more cars. Bobby is a veteran of the last big demonstrations in hong kong five yea rs demonstrations in hong kong five years ago, and he has never seen anything like this. I think it is different than other protests before because it is accumulating a lot of previous anger, frustrations and depression. Sincejune, since june, hundreds of thousands sincejune, hundreds of thousands of protesters have been out on the streets in hong kong stubbing the demonstrations were sparked by a proposed law change allowing the extradition of hong kongers to face trial on mainland china. But they morphed into a movement demanding democracy, and an end to the steady erosion of rights. In an atmosphere of distrust and fear, protesters a re in an atmosphere of distrust and fear, protesters are wary of revealing their identity, and some have special reason. Gearing up is someone we are have special reason. Gearing up is someone we are calling eson. Protected from police eyes by the protesters main weapon, the umbrella. The so called valiant account at the police on the line of the protest. Esons team is in downtown hong kong. They are Holding Territory from the police while the demonstrators marched past. The black flag is the polices warning they are about to use teargas. And in response, the protesters lighten their barricades. Its not just its notjust the politically active out on the streets. Holly is a professional nurse, and four months, she has been supporting the protesters. After her long shifts at the hospital. Holly is one of many dedicated first aid volunteers who come out on a regular basis. Violence has been steadily on the increase. Police regularly deploying rubber bullets and tear gas, resorting to brutal violence on empty underground. Protesters storming buildings and taking on the police on the streets. Meanwhile, the authorities have been slow to respond to the protesters demands, preferring to condemn their actions. Violence is not a solution to any problem. Violence will only breed more violence, and at the end of the day, the whole of hong kong and the people will suffer as a result of the loss of law and order in hong kong. Unable to counter the superior force of the police, protesters have found inspiration in martial arts legend and hong kong bruce lees mantra, be water. If you put water into the cup, it becomes the cup. Put it into the teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can flow or creep ordrip or the teapot. Water can flow or creep or drip or crash be water, my friend. Water has three forms. It can be concrete, liquid, or vaporised. When we apply it to protests, bobby has heard things are turning valence just few blocks away. We just saw the protesters have been breaking the glass, so there are protesters inside the station. Their accusations that the network is enabling police violence. The Police Response might be happy on ordinary protesters, time for them to be water, and withdraw. The government eventually withdrew the extradition bill but protesters feel the authorities have not sufficiently engaged with their demands. I think frustration and anger over the polices use of force means the crowds keep coming onto the street. And as darkness falls, the chances of violent confrontation increase. Frontline is our preparing molotov cocktails. And he has his brick at the ready. 0ne cocktails. And he has his brick at the ready. One of many prepared by the ready. One of many prepared by the crowd to throw at the police. But, for many protesters, resulting to violence is a moral dilemma. The protesters moved out from the commercial city centre. There has been sporadic violence across the city. We are heading out to a district further east. There has been trouble between the protesters and local residents. Northpoint is home to a large pro china population. Fights have broken out. Finally, a man accused of attacking the protesters is badly beaten up. By by the time bobby arrives, the protesters are by the time bobby arrives, the protesters a re confronting by the time bobby arrives, the protesters are confronting a group of locals they accused of being members of criminal gangs. Blend in the past for siding with the police. Blamed in the past for siding with the police. The situation in hong kong is slipping further out of control. 0ver over in beijing, the Chinese State is celebrating its national day. This year, the 70th anniversary of the peoples republic of china. A projection of unity and might. In hong kong, there were rumours of a heavy crackdown planned by the security forces. Six demonstrations are planned over the day. Eson goes to one of the citys hotspot, admiralty. Quickly, tensions begin to mount. Esonis eson is in a group of around 50 protesters. Who advance on the police positions. Gunfire. Holly and her team are police positions. Gunfire. Holly and herteam are in police positions. Gunfire. Holly and her team are in the thick of it as the crowd retreats. Hollys team is one of several in the area. All in touch on social media. Many people are suffering the effects of tear gas. And it is notjust protesters. Bewildering running battles last throughout the day. There has been bad news. An 18 year old boy has been shot in the chest by a police officer. The scout, bobby, is also out. National day saw a large rise in violence by the authorities. Unable to counter the force, some protesters are beginning to talk of something almost apocalyptic, cold lam chao, usually translated as if we burn, you burn with us. Mutual destruction. But for holly, the escalation of violence and refusal of the authorities to give ground make her question she can achieve. Yelling. Hong kongs protest seemed to have gained momentum of their own. And neither side knows where they will end. 0ur city is really in the chaos. Hello. The recent slow moving heavy rain that we saw across much of Northern England has now eased away, but we are left with the legacy of some very high river levels, quite a lot of flooding, too. So still several flood warnings and even severe flood warnings in force, particularly across parts of Northern England. River levels will slowly come down through the course of the weekend. Theres a bit more rain on the way for saturday but it will be heaviest in the places that are not affected by the flooding. A dry day likely by the time we get to sunday. But its a cold weekend. First thing saturday morning, temperatures widely subzero. About 2, 3 in towns and cities, colder in the countryside. A touch of frost, certainly. Also fog or freezing fog patches to start off your day as well. We can see this weather front making its way in from the west. That will bring a mix of rain. Also some sleet and some snow over the highest ground, only across parts of wales through the day on saturday, but certainly down at low levels it will be falling as rain. Parts of Northern Ireland, south west scotland, wales, western england, seeing the arrival of that rain. Eastern england and northern and eastern scotland staying dry through the day, after the morning mist clears away. Should be some sunshine around, but it will feel pretty chilly wherever you are. Were mainly going to be stuck in single figures, maybe just squeezing 10 celsius towards plymouth, but for most, about 6 9. That area of rain, with a little bit of sleetiness and snow over the high ground, starts to ease away towards the south as we move through saturday night and overnight into sunday morning. With all the cloud around in the south it wont be such a cold night. Certainly not compared to first thing on saturday. Temperatures mostly above freezing. Still a cold night to come for Northern England, Northern Ireland and scotland as well. Sunday, remembrance sunday, were looking at some decent conditions. Lots of dry and fairly sunny weather. There will be some rain working in from the west later on in the day, but much of remembrance sunday is looking fine and dry, with light winds, temperatures somewhere between 6 10, for most of us on sunday. Then we start to see this frontal system heading in from west to east, through sunday night and into monday. You can see a bit of light. Some sleet and snow over the highest ground, parts of Northern England and scotland as well. That main band of rain should clear away gradually on monday, perhaps lingering longest towards the south east. Then were back into sunny spells, scattered showers, some of them a little bit wintry over the highest ground. In the sunshine, though, top temperatures around 6 11. Bye bye. This is bbc world news.
