eight more anti—coup protesters are killed by security forces in myanmar, with more violence reported in several cities. russian police break up an opposition conference in moscow and detain 200 people, including high—profile figures. so it's ready, it's... go, go, go! and the voice of formula one, murray walker, has died, at the age of 97. police in london have been heavily criticised for breaking up an unauthorised vigilfor a woman who was allegedly kidnapped and murdered by a police officer. sarah everard's death has become the focus of widespread anger in the uk about male violence against women. groups of women gathered on clapham common in south london, near to where sarah everard was last seen. they held the memorial, despite the official cancellation of the event because of coronavirus rules. the police said the gathering breached restrictions. images on social media show the police forcibly removing people and pinning a woman to the ground. the mayor of london, sadiq khan, said the scenes were unacceptable. helena wilkinson reports. not far from where sarah everard went missing 11 days ago, a visible outpouring of grief. hundreds gathered at the bandstand to remember the 33—year—old. they came and stood in silence and comforted each other and they left flowers for sarah, for herfamily. i feel really sad for the family so i just want to tell them that in this time where we can't meet each other and hug each other, the community is behind them. i wanted to be here to stand in solidarity with all women. it'sjust really upset me, what's happened. the vigil here tonight had been cancelled, police had told people not to turn up because of the current lockdown, but many still did. tonight, as some tensions escalated, police called on all those to go home, saying that the gathering was not safe. these scenes adding to what has been an already extremely difficult week. it would have been a lot safer if we had the 50 stewards we had trained and ready to go to keep the crowds silent and distanced. we told the met it was going to be worse if we didn't have the organisation that we already had planned which was covid—safe. earlier, met police officer wayne couzens, believed to be in this police van, was brought before westminster magistrates�* court. the 48—year—old joined the force two years ago. today, he appeared in dock, charges of kidnap and murder were formally put to him. he will next appear at the old bailey on tuesday. it's11 days since sarah everard disappeared in south london. her body was found here in woodland, near ashford, in kent, inside a builder's bag and identified through her dental records. extensive searches are continuing close to where she was found. 30 miles away, the police officer's house in deal, in kent, is also a focus. and an old garage, in dover, where he used to work is being searched. as the searches continue, tributes were paid in towns and cities up and down the country, reigniting a national conversation about women's safety. it's become a political issue. the government is seeking further views on how to tackle violence against women and girls. certainly the messages i've been having from women have been really powerful and important. the message i'm giving back to government is do something, do something meaningful, or my committee will be holding your feet to the fire over why not. for sarah everard's family, they are dealing with the unimaginable. they will be wanting answers as to what happened to sarah, who they said was bright and beautiful and a shining example. the metropolitan police have now issued a response. they accept that the actions of their officers have been questioned, but say the only responsible thing for them to do at the vigil was to act to ensure public safety. this from assistant commissioner helen ball. hundreds of people were tightly packed together posing a very real risk of easily transmitting covid—19. police must act for people's safety. this is the only responsible thing to do. the pandemic is not over and gatherings of hundreds of people from right across london and beyond are still not safe. those who gathered were spoken to by officers on a number of occasions and over an extended period of time. we repeatedly encouraged those who were there to comply with the law and leave. regrettably, a small minority of people began chanting at officers, pushing and throwing items. after speaking with officers, the vast majority of people did quickly leave. four arrests have been made for public order offences and breaches of the health protection regulations. part of the reason i'm speaking to you tonight is because we accept the actions of our officers have been questioned. we absolutely did not want to be in a position where enforcement action was necessary, but we were placed in this position because of the overriding need to protect people's safety. let's go to the us now, and the latest on the case of breonna taylor, exactly a year on. federal investigators say they've made significant progress in their probe into the killing of the young black woman, shot in her home by police officers. police forced their way into her apartment during a botched drug raid. they used a so—called "no—knock" arrest warrant that didn't require them to announce themselves. ms taylor's death helped spark black lives matter protests in louisville and across the country over the excessive use of force used by officers. breonna taylor's boyfriend, kenneth walker, has spoken to the bbc for the first time about what he witnesed on the night she died. our correspondent larry madowo began by asking kenneth how he feels about the support he's received. honestly, i'm a bit overwhelmed, but, i mean... it's bittersweet because as i look around and see all the love and support and all the people who's here to admire breonna and embrace our situation, i also have to think about how she's not here. so, it's... it's been a tough day, but i'm out here and ijust really love and appreciate everybody who loves breonna. you're wearing a t—shirt with a picture of you and her. what do people not know about her? what kind of person was breonna? man, breonna was just loving and caring, like, for sure. those are two really big words i like to say about her. she deserves everything that these people are trying to do for her. this is a nice start towards justice. even you were tried for having shot at the police that day, but the charges have now been dropped. do you feel like now you can go on with the rest of your life? i mean, i have to go on with the rest of my life regardless. i don't have a choice, but, i mean, the charges being dropped, itjust does nothing but say to me that... they're saying that i'm not wrong, you know what i'm saying? but breonna taylor was murdered, so somebody�*s responsible. so, the only question i have now is what's next? the only officer who was charged, brett hankison, is for endangering the lives of your neighbours, but not for the death of breonna taylor. how does that make you feel? well, i think it makes me feel how it makes everybody else feel. it's crazy that they thought walls or objects with no life were worth more than breonna taylor. yeah. in the year since, this park behind us has become a place to remember her, to honour her memory, and when you see all this activity, what's been your reaction? i love it here and i love all the people out here because they all love her. you know, this place encourages, symbolises hope and change. so, all this, these people are part of the process as far as getting herjustice. as a black man in america, her name and george floyd were the rallying calls for the black lives matter movement last summer and into this year. do you think something has changed in this country? things have definitely changed. laws have been made because of these situations. and my heart goes out to george floyd's family, too. we've grown to be really close to them, and also jacob bla ke�*s family, too. so, yeah, some change has definitely been made and justice is going to come for everybody. how do you process the grief? how do you cope with living through this tragedy? how have you been dealing with that? i've just... ijust listen to people say her name, i guess. to myanmar. the leader of a shadow civilian government is urging protesters to continue theirfight against the military, which seized power last month. in his first public address, mahn win khaing than said this was the nation's darkest moment. the worst of the violence took place in the city of mandalay, where once again, police opened fire on peaceful protestors. jonathan head reports. the days in myanmar�*s towns and cities are punctuated by protests, by lethal volleys of gunfire from the army and police, and by the funerals of those who have been killed. the death toll in this elemental battle between unarmed people and the military regime, whose authority they still refuse to accept, keeps climbing. today was another terrible day in mandalay, where opposition to the military coup runs very high. the police started, they showed up at 10am. by then the rally was already over. as i said, they were there to kill. they didn't have to kill, they didn't have to shoot a single shot. people were about to go back, people were about to disperse, but they did anyway. this woman has just lost her husband. he had volunteered as a neighbourhood guard, and joined a protest at a police station near his home in yangon last night, demanding the release of detainees. the police responded by opening fire. after five weeks of this, and around 80 deaths, people have still not given up. every day, they rebuild the barricades that shout their defiance at the soldiers. every day, the soldiers pull them down. firing abuse, and shots, back at the people. jonathan head, bbc news, bangkok. mahn win khaing than is the leader of a shadow civilian government in myanmar. he's in hiding, but hasjust made a public address, uploaded to facebook. he vows resistance to military rule and urges protesters to continue their fight. translation: this is the - darkest moment of the nation. the moment when the door is close. this is the time for our citizens to test their resistance against dark moments. when forming our resistance, unity plays a vital role. despite our differences in the past, this is a time when we must grip our hands together to end the dictatorship for good. this is bbc news, our top story: confrontations in london as police break up an unauthorised vigil for sarah everard. a serving police officer is charged with her murder. let's get more on this now. jamie klingler is one of the organisers of the event, who founded the reclaim the streets movement as a response to sarah everard's death. she's been speaking to my colleague martine croxall, and said that it would've been safer if the metropolitan police had authorised the vigil, meaning they could conduct it in a covid secure way. we told the met that it was going to be worse if we didn't have the organisation that we already had planned that was covid—safe. and people are angry, they are angry that we were silenced, in this case about women being silenced and women having violence against them pursued. so like, we did everything we could to make it a safe and silent vigil. clearly that is not what has come of it after the ruling yesterday and the way that was communicated. it's unfortunate that the situation that we're in prevents big gatherings like this, but this turnout, this unofficial turnout just shows the strength of feeling, i suppose? and also we started a crowd funder at 7am this morning because we weren't going to pay the fines because we didn't have the protest tonight, and it hit £320,000 - which was going to be the total of fines, in 11 hours. this is the start of a movement, we are ready. and people are showing that we've had enough of the violence, we need to sort this and it needs to be a priority in the government and it needs to be a priority for the met and they need to take us seriously. the kind of convictions for men, women that are reporting things, that all needs to be escalated and taken more seriously than it has been in the past. arguably, that money is going to be much better spent anyway on something like fines, what are you going to spend that money on? who's going to benefit? because it happened so quickly, we decided at 2am to start the fundraising. we are going to have a group meeting and we are going to talk to sarah's family and we are going to get good guidance and we are going to get professionals involved in terms of where that should go to women's charities but we are talking about women getting access to legal care and we are talking about underrepresented women. we know that women of colour that have died have not had anywhere near this much publicity and we recognise that we need to make sure that women in domestic violence situations that are refugees, women that don't have a voice. those are the voices that need to be heard, by not only the police, but the government as well. we have to be very careful when we talk about an active court case of course, but what is it, do you think, about this particular moment that's different that has brought so many people together to say, we've had enough? i think so many times when we hear about women it is either domestic violence or its oh, she was drunk, or she dressed a little bit slutty. like, the excuses and this time she was in an anorak, she was wearing bright clothes, she did the call home to her boyfriend. it was nine o'clock at night, she was on a busy road. we were all sarah, we were all possibly that person and that we just by the chance we weren't out that night, we didn't get snatched off the street and killed and we are desperately sad for her family and friends and it shook us all to the core because it broke the bubble of security that we tend to think we have and every time it gets really secure and it gets popped, we're back down to being scared and alone, which is why a silent vigil which was covid—safe was so important. i live alone, so i could see other women that are grieving like i'm grieving, that haven't had someone to look and say, this is horrible, we should not be scared and it's not the onus of women to protect themselves, it on the men to stop killing and raping us. so this movement, reclaim these streets, as you say, it's just mushroomed very, very quickly. how do you harness that? it's going to take over your life, probably, and all the other organisers, too. how do you, where do you see yourself steering this movement and what are you calling for? i think we have to sit and stop. we've been sleeping four hours a night and there is ten of us who... i haven't even met them in person, i was going to meet them in person tonight. it is volunteers that came together and we are trying to figure it out as we go and learn the policies and learn where we can really institute change. i don't want to spout all these things off that i can do that i'm not going to be able to accomplish, but i do see myself pursuing being a board member or being on part of who is delving out that money and seeing the charities that get money to actual women. i don't want the money to go to bureaucracy. and we are really passionate that we've tapped into something and this morning, a 16—year—old girl asked if one of us would come and speak at her school. and i said, would you mind having all of us? because that's where we're going to hit. if we are going to hit 16—year—old girls and we can become their mentors and help with activism and those voices, so that they are in a better position... i did take back the night protest in pennsylvania 20 years ago and i'm still doing this now. nothing has changed and that is infuriating. the us secretary of state, antony blinken, has condemned the arrests of 200 opposition politicians and activists in russia. he called for an end to the persecution of independent voices. russian police made the arrests at a hotel, where delegates were meeting to prepare for municipal elections. aruna iyengar has this report. the weekend forum, a gathering of municipal deputies from all over the country had just begun in a moscow hotel... ..when police burst in. ilya yashin was just one of nearly 200 detained by police. they're accused of taking part in an event organised by open russia, based in the uk and banned in russia under a law against undesirable organisations and foreign interference. 0pen russia was set up by prominent kremlin critic mikhail khodorkovsky, who owned the oil giant yukos, before he was convicted in two controversial cases and spent a decade behind bars. he now lives abroad. police say the event also broke covid prevention rules — not all participants wore facemasks. those detained are likely to face a fine or a spell in police detention. 0rganisers say the forum was actually convened by a different group, the united democrats project. among those arrested are some of russia's most prominent opposition voices, who'd come together to talk about contesting local elections. the incident comes as authorities continue to crack down on opposition activity as elections loom. last month, alexei navalny, president vladimir putin's most prominent critic, was jailed for two and a half years. his arrest sparked mass protests and a tough response from police. on friday, dozens of countries called on russia to release navalny, saying actions by russia against the opposition leader were unacceptable and politically motivated. activists say laws on undesirable organisations and foreign agents are being used to suppress dissent. but russia says the laws are needed to protect its national security from outside meddling. aruna iyengar, bbc news. argentina's president alberto fernandez made a visit to patagonia, a region devastated by forest fires. but all did not go to plan. a he and members of his cabinet scrambled to get to their van, as they were mobbed by angry protesters, frustrated over mining projects in the province. he managed to get away as the protesters threw stones and broke the van�*s windows. the former boxing world champion marvin hagler has died at his home in new hampshire in the us, aged 66. the american, known to fans as marvellous marvin, became undisputed middleweight world champion in 1980, and dominated the division through most of the decade. he is considered one of the best boxers of his generation. british heavyweight dereck chisora has paid tribute on social media, saying hagler was "one of the greatest". the broadcaster murray walker, described as "the voice of formula one", has died — he was 97. his distintive commentary style and passion for motor sport won him fans around the world. andy swiss looks back at his life. so, it's ready. it...is... ..go, go, go, go! and schumacher leads, brilliant start... exuberance, excitable and utterly unmistakable. by the austrian driver in the back... murray walker was the high octane voice behind a high—octane sport. it was once said that even in his quieter moments, he sounded like his trousers were on fire. that's it. bang bang, and off! his passion came from his father graham walker, who raced motorcycles and was himself a commentator often sharing the duties with young murray. the sensation is that tommy wood went through not on time, not after time, but ahead of time. and after commentating on his first british grand prix in 1949, murray walker became an integral part of formula i. but in a sport of inevitable risk, he was faced with tragedy, too. world motor racing champion ayrton senna has been pronounced clinically dead. when the great ayrton senna died in a crash in 1994, walker's shock was only too clear. this is the blackest day for grand prix racing that i can remember in the many, many years that i've been covering the sport. walker never hid his emotions, most famously when his friend damon hill won the world title in 1996. damon hill exits the chicane and wins the japanese grand prix, and i've got to stop because i've got a lump in my throat! because he really genuinely loved motorsport and was fascinated by formula! and all things with an engine, he communicated that enthusiasm and people were drawn in by that and they recognised that as well. real spectacular driving, watch this. his frenetic style wasn't without its gaffes. looks through a completely clean windscreen, and that's the big advantage of course of being in front. his energy and enthusiasm endeared him to millions, and when he covered his final british grand prix in 2001, the affection was plain to see. one of sport's most imitated voices, but there were only ever be one murray walker. murray walker, who's died at the age of 97. there is more on my walk on the website. i! there is more on my walk on the website. , ., ., ., there is more on my walk on the website. y., ., ., ., website. if you are on social

going to last. clouds are expected to increase and rain is in the forecast. in fact, quite early in the morning it will already start to rain across some western areas of the uk. and as one weather system pulls away, a bit of a gap here through the early hours and then this next weather front pushes in and that's going to bring the rainfall on sunday. so, the forecast through the early hours shows the clear skies there across most of the uk. a few scattered showers here and there, the winds are light as well and by early on sunday morning, temperatures are close to freezing in some of the northern towns and cities. in the south of the country, it's closer to around 4 celsius for example in plymouth and in cardiff. so here is that bright or even sunny morning across many parts of the country with the clouds quickly increasing there from the west, so rain for belfast, rain reaching the north—west of england, certainly the lake district. liverpool in for some rain. probably rain reaching birmingham sometime early in the afternoon. but not the extreme south—east of england or the north or the east of scotland. in fact in aberdeen, it may well stay sunny all through the day. but i think as far as southern england's concerned and east anglia, you will get rain later on on sunday. now, the forecast into monday shows high pressure building very close to the uk. there are weather fronts approaching us and they will be brushing the far north—west of the country but i think that high pressure is eventually going to win. so, here's monday morning and we've got lots of fine, again bright or sunny weather, but clouds increasing here in the north west. so, skies i think are a little hazy both in the morning and the afternoon for places like belfast and glasgow but sunshine for norwich and london. and the temperatures, 13 celsius with lighter winds and sunshine, shouldn't feel too bad at all. tuesday into wednesday, that high pressure establishes itself across the uk but notice there's a weather front riding around its edge. so at times, it may be cloudy. but on balance, i think it's the high pressure that will win and the weather will be settled. so, here's the outlook for the week ahead. you can see mostly settled weather across the majority of the uk. temperatures rising a little bit but then it looks as though it's going to turn a little bit colder again towards the end of the week. this is bbc news, the headlines: police in london have been heavily criticised for breaking up an unauthorised vigil for a woman who was allegedly kidnapped and killed. sarah everard's death has become the focus of widespread anger in the uk about male violence against women. a serving police officer has been charged with the killing. exactly one year since a young black woman, breonna taylor, was fatally shot by police officers — us investigators say they've made significant progress in their probe into the killing. ms taylor's death helped spark black lives matter protests across the country. at least 12 more protesters have been killed by security forces in myanmar, as demonstrations continue across the country, against last month's military coup. international pressure is building on the authorities to stop using deadly force against unarmed demonstrators. now on bbc news, dateline london.
