Protests and running battles between protesters and police, would she or wouldnt she back down and drop the widely hated extradition bill . I now announce that the government has decided to suspend the legislative amendment exercise. Not a withdrawal, then. So is this just a trick to pacify the protesters . It has nothing to do with an intention or wish to pacify. How could i restore, as fast as possible, the calm in society, and how could i avoid any more Law Enforcement officers and ordinary citizens being injured . The fear of more angry protesters returning to these barricades is what has prompted carrie lam and her administration to make what is clearly a major climb down. This is not a temporary pause to the extradition bill this is an indefinite suspension. Nevertheless, it may not be enough to prevent very large crowds from coming out here again on sunday for another huge show of discontent. On wednesday, the policejust. This young protester and many of his friends will be out there, and possibly thousands more like them. They want the bill completely withdrawn, but for them it is about so much more. We dont trust the government. We dont need a small victory. We want to cancel the bill, but not temporarily. And i dont want to see hong kong to be invaded by a totalitarian government. The problem for passionate Young Hong Kongers like this is that communist china is just 16 miles away across the harbour. Somehow they are going to have to learn to live with that fact.

Hundreds of homes in and around wainfleet in lincolnshire have been evacuated because of concerns that the river steeping will breach its banks again. The areas already suffered severe flooding after two months worth of rain fell in just two days. From wainfleet, luxmy gopal sent this report. From the air, you can see the vast extent of the flood waters, the river steeping swollen after two months of rain fell in two days. More flooding is expected, and around 600 homes have been evacuated. This is the second time rebecca and jodie have had to move. Youve got where all the electrics have to dry out, because you cant put them back on. So it is finding the emergency accommodation that you are going to be setting basically a new home up, when you know your homes underwater. And its so hard. Sorry. The Environment Agency says the river could breach at points where its flood defences are vulnerable. An raf chinook has returned today to help shore up the bank. Its this stretch of the river steeping thats expected to burst its banks, and thats why the raf chinook behind me has been flying back and forth with bags of sand and gravel to try to plug any breach. Volunteers have travelled for miles to help the flood defence operations. Been out for the past three days, weve just had to rescue a 97 year old lady. As i say, werejust dropping sand bags off, rescuing people, knocking on the door, making sure we can. Dropping sandbags, just basically helping people, doing what we can do. Emergency crews will continue to monitor the river levels, but for now residents dont know when they or their families, four legged or otherwise, will be able to return home.

Rivals competing to be the next leader of the conservative party, and prime minister, have dismissed suggestions they should withdraw and allow an uncontested coronation of the frontrunner, Boris Johnson. Theyve been campaigning for the support of Party Members at a meeting in london. Our Political Correspondent nick eardley was there his report contains flashing images. Blink and youll miss him Boris Johnson arrives at the First Leadership hustings for tory activists. In here, he told them hes a winner, and hes undoubtedly the man to beat, but his rivals say a coronation would be a mistake. That would be a complete disgrace. The public deserve the chance to look at these leaders. Mrjohnsons opponents insist this isnt over. We had a coronation last time, it didnt work out well, so lets not make the same mistakes again. Jeremy hunt insists he can shock everyone and come from behind to win. Michael gove agrees its all still to play for. The leadership hustings so far have been taking place behind closed doors. That will change tomorrow with the first televised event, at which five of the six candidates, minus mrjohnson, will attend. But ultimately those standing for the leadership know that its people like the ones here, party activists, that they have to convince. Do you think the wider membership are listening, or its boris and thats it . No, i think they are listening, i think they are listening. It always, always, always was going to be borisjohnson for me, but im now. Less sure who would be the second option. I had thought i was close to making up my mind, but ive now got a bit more of an open mind after today. I mean, id vote raab, i must say, given the chance, but its going to be boris. Are members still listening to your pitch, mr hunt . They were, yes the fight to be our next pm goes on. The longer this goes on, the more the underdog gets their shot. To beat this man, though, wont be easy. Nick eardley, bbc news. The exam board edexcel has launched an investigation into how part of an a level maths paper was leaked online.

Public Health England has sought to reassure people after two more patient deaths were linked to a listeria outbreak, saying the overall risk is low. A total of five people are now known to have died. The Health Secretary matt hancock has ordered what he called a root and branch review of hospital food. Leigh milner reports. Two people have died at the manchester royal infirmary, another at aintree hospital, after eating sandwiches and salads containing listeria. Its not yet been revealed where two other patients died. Listeria is a bacterium which typically causes mild food poisoning, but can prove fatal if people are already seriously ill. Tanya marsden from ashford in kent was at the William Harvey hospital having treatments for Crohns Disease when she became infected with listeria. Listeria can be fatal, and that obviously is whats playing on my mind now. I worry about whether theres any lasting implications for me, particularly because my immune system is so suppressed at this moment in time. Eight trusts have been affected, but weve not been told which ones. I asked dr yvonne doyle from public Health England why. The full details of the investigation and the trusts involved will be available next week. The reason we havent put that out now is that the clinicians have asked us to give them some time to have those discussions with the patients who are alive and with the relatives of those who have deceased. Well, the Health Secretary, matt hancock, has called for a review of nhs food. In a statement, he says hes deeply concerned about the issue and strongly believes that a new, radical approach is needed into the way food is served in the nhs. The good food chain, which is being linked to the outbreak, has voluntarily ceased production. As investigations continue, public Health England insist any risk to the public remains low. Leigh milner, bbc news. This is bbc news, the latest headlines campaigners in hong kong vow to push ahead with a rally on sunday despite the decision to suspend a controversial bill. Lets stay with that now the decision by carrie lam is a win for protestors, but why are people still angry . That is the question i put to antony dapiran, the author of city of protest a recent history of dissent in hong kong. I think people are incredibly angry in the way chief executive carrie lam has handled the process, and i think they are unhappy with the comments she made last night saying that she would temporarily pause the bill. She said it was a temporary pause and not a complete withdrawal. They are also angry that she didnt apologise for Police Behaviour at the protests on wednesday. And they feel that she has patronised the hong kong people, treating them as children and insufficiently listening to their voices. What could the chief executive carrie lam have done differently to try to avoid personal she is experiencing . Well, i think, the first thing she could have done is given the statement that she made last night a week ago, last sunday evening after a Million People took to the streets here to protest. Immediately after that protest, she and her government came out and said there basically would be no change, and it took the violent incidents on wednesday to really cause them to sit up and take notice. I think thats something that really, really angered people. And i think the second thing isjust her messaging, which has been consistently poor and the way that it has been presented to people has helped to really rile them up. Is there any clarity on how much this was carrie lams pet project and hoe much she was under pressure from beijing to get these laws through . Well, look, the official line has always been that this was entirely carries idea, that this was her iniative and beijing backed her up. But one really has to wonder, given the incredibly incompetent way that this has been handled and the attempt to sort of really ram through, whether there wasnt some larger hand at force, because youd expect that any sensible politician would not commit this kind of political suicide that she appears to have done. You have looked back at a history of protest and dissent in hong kong. Youve written a book about it. These are protists, given that they have succeeded in some way, has this changed hong kong for the future . Is it a different kind of territory now . I think it has certainly hardened hong kongers resolve. In the wake of the Umbrella Movement protests five years ago, largely seen as a failure, people were satarting to wonder whether hong kongers had lost their spirit and perhaps no longer had much appetite for dissent, particularly as the Hong Kong Government has aggressively pursued and prosecuted the leaders of those protests five years ago. But i think the events of the past week have really shown that the hong kongers spirit remains as determined as ever and they will come out and protest and dissent against policies youll find reaction and analysis including maps and films and other reports and articles from correspondents based in the region. The cricket world cup throws up many rivalries, but none bigger than this. On sunday, tens of millions of people will be watching pakistan take on india. Its always a big deal, but this will also be the first match between the two neighbours since a dangerous flare up in tensions earlier this year. Secunder kermani has been speaking to some of the many pakistanis who will be watching the game. There were cheers as pakistan took on australia earlier this week. But the night ended in disappointment for these fans in islamabad as their team narrowly lost. The passion inspired by matches against india, though, is on another level. Is it a big deal to beat india . Its a pretty good deal, notjust because its india versus pakistan but because its like real madrid versus barcelona, sport rivalry too, so that makes it very exciting as well. Sundays game will be the first between the neighbours since the conflict in february that saw pakistan shoot down and capture an indian pilot. Im sorry, im not supposed to tell you that, sir. This advert spoofing his interrogation video in which he politely refused to answer questions while sipping tea has attracted both laughs and some criticism. You believe now . 0k, sir. For most fans, though, cricket is a rare opportunity to unite the two nations. I think primarily, we have the same culture and i think cricket can be used as a bridge between the two countries for peace and for stability throughout the subcontinent so i think irrespective of who wins, at the end of the day, a good game and peace is what matters most. Pakistan india game have, at times, produced some of crickets greatest moments. Players know tens of millions will be watching. There is a massive amount of pressure, and now that the India Pakistan games dont happen so frequently, there is more pressure. I feel someone who is in good form would probably be looking forward to doing well against india because if you do well against india, could be a hero for life. Come sunday, grounds like this will be deserted but because of tensions between the two countries, its been years since pakistan and india have been able to play against each other in front of a home crowd. Cricket fans will hope that can change someday soon. Secunder kermani, bbc news, islamabad. Joining me now is a big fan of pakistan and an occasional sports writer, in fact he describes himself as a hopeless romantic on all things pakistan cricket. Waqas ahmed is in malaysia. Thank you for your time. First of all, for those people who do not follow cricket, why isnt there such an intense rivalry between pakistan and india . Is there. It spans more than seven decades ever since the inception of both countries. Cricket is probably the only avenue that we can thrash out our differences in a matter which is much more acceptable than war so cricket is probably the only sport where both countries are the top ranked teams and this has been a spot which unites and provides a bit of banter opportunity as well so it is pretty big in the subcontinent. It is the rivalry a lwa ys subcontinent. It is the rivalry always friendly . This is the first game since the tensions with the indian soldiers dying because of a Pakistan Militant group attack. Does any of that seat into the game itself or is it all about sportsmanship . Get into. Itself or is it all about sportsmanship . Get into. Ever since the incident took place, from both sides, that has been some commentary but i do not think for the players it is about. They are highly professional and take it as a game however there is a lot of pressure due to external things such as the political tensions between india and pakistan. India is the favourite to win. Pakistan is the underdog. What is going to take for pakistan to beat india . Well, a lot of ha rd pakistan to beat india . Well, a lot of hard work and a bit of luck as well because pakistan have been coming off the back of 13 1 record so coming off the back of 13 1 record so they are not favoured in any stretch of the imagination on the other hand india have been com pletely other hand india have been completely dominant. That said, batting here is a dangerous precedent. They can come from behind and wreak havoc or they can com pletely and wreak havoc or they can completely disintegrate like we saw in the 1999 World Cup Final when they were favourite yet they lost in england and now, two decades later, they defeated england before the australia game. So you cannot really say as cliche as it sounds, which side will turn up. They are highly dependent on the top three batsmen. They need to score. They need to rely on their strike bowler but it is an uphill battle. It may hurt you to talk about this but india has been very strong in the world cup, as you mentioned, what makes india so good at this point . Well, they have first of all, a very sta ble well, they have first of all, a very stable 11. They had a plan, they followed that through and it is not just this world cup but for the last two years. They have a very good system two years. They have a very good syste m ba ck two years. They have a very good system back home in india where they groom players for the big occasions plus the ipl and that kind of helps them get on that level which is required for International Cricket say they have a very good structure. When those players come into International Cricket, they are well rounded, they have a skill set to start firing from all one and thatis to start firing from all one and that is probably the reason they are so that is probably the reason they are so strong and they have a very good captain in virat kohli, he scores run, probably the greatest batsmen of the world has ever seen in ipi. Now, the english weather, what impact will it have on both sides . Frankly speaking, english weather has been a disappointment in this will come. In the last all world cup combined they have been three washers and we have already had four. That libby has been a disappointment. Manchester weather is not looking that good for our game but lets keep ourfingers crossed that at least we have a partial game or something we can let the fans enjoy. I am sure you will be watching. A big fan of pakistan, sportswriter, thank you for your time. Thank you very much. A Roman Catholic mass has been held at Notre Dame Cathedral in paris for the First Time Since a fire ripped through the building two months ago. For safety reasons the priests who attended the Small Service had to wear hard hats. Freya cole reports. Its not your usual attire for a religious service but given the iconic notre dame isnt structurally sound, a hardhat is a necessity. The intimate service is a first since a spectacular fire spread through the cathedral in april, devastating parisians and sending shockwaves around the world. Translation a monument such as the notre dame continues to live on even if there was a fire. Its not a lost monument, it continues to have life. Just 30 people were invited for a mass led by the archbishop of paris. Translation it is with strong emotion that we find ourselves here celebrating the consecration of this cathedral but we are profoundly happy to be able to celebrate the eucharist. Its why it was built. Authorities now know the fire started near the base of the spire. Flames spread through the roof within a matter of hours, consuming more than 800 years of history. What was lost will never be exact to the same but it can be rebuilt and replicated. Donations for the cathedrals reconstruction have hit nearly 1 billion. Its the beginning of a new chapter in notre dames ancient history. Freya cole, bbc news. The italian film and opera director Franco Zeffirelli has died at the age of 96. He was twice nominated for an oscar, and is perhaps best known for his adaptations of shakespeares works. Hes said to have died peacefully after a long illness. Nick higham looks back at his life.

You can reach me on twitter im reged ahmad bbc heres the weather now with alina. Hello. Another day where weve seen some torrential rain across parts of the uk, exacerbating the flooding we saw earlier in the week. This was Burton Upon Trent in staffordshire during saturday afternoon. For others, blue skies and sunshine. And its this mixture that we keep as we go into sunday, our area of low pressure still slow moving to the north west of the uk. And another frontal system working its way north and eastwards. So this will generate showers through sunday morning, initially across Northern Ireland, wales, south west england, but soon extending north and eastwards across much of the uk. Now, where these showers develop theyll be heavy, theyll be thundery, theyll be slow moving. Some gusty winds as well associated with these showers. Heres an idea of average wind strengths. But the gusts will be even higher. Could well see some hailstones, too. Meanwhile, across parts of southern and south east england fewer showers through the afternoon, more sunshine, so 20 or 21 celsius. Where weve got the frequent showers struggling to get much above 1a or 15. And these showers merging at times to give a longer spell of rain. Certainly the case as we go through sunday evening. Some heavy spells of rain working their way across Northern England, into scotland, continue across parts of Northern Ireland, some rain returning to wales through the early hours of monday morning. Its not a cold night for most. Were going to hold up to between 11 and 13 celsius. High single figures across rural scotland. So as we start the new week, our area of low pressure still to the north west of the uk, generating some heavy showers for scotland and Northern Ireland. A cold front draped across Northern England and wales bringing some spells of rain through monday morning. But turning more showery as the day wears on. To the south and east of this, mainly dry, some spells of sunshine, some heavy and thundery showers, though, across a large swathe of scotland and Northern Ireland. So temperatures here again 1a or 15 celsius. In the sunshine, further south and east, 20, maybe 21 celsius. Now, as we go into tuesday, briefly, we see this ridge of High Pressure across much of england and wales and southern scotland. Keeping an eye on this area of low pressure, though, could bring some heavy rain later on tuesday into southern parts of england. Still some heavy showers and longer the spells of rain across parts of scotland. But they should ease across Northern Ireland on tuesday. Much of england and wales having a mainly dry day with some sunshine, but keeping an eye on this rain arriving into southern counties of england later on tuesday. Ahead of this, some warmth, 20 or 21 celsius for much of england and wales. We could see some heavy rain for a time, later on tuesday and into wednesday. As that clears, things are looking drier and a bit warmer towards the end of the week. Bye bye. Along with the
