In the event of no deal. Organisers say 1. 7 million braved monsoon rains for hong kongs latest pro democracy march. Police warn its unlikely a six year old boy, who fell into a river in kent, will be found alive. The hiv tests on glasgows streets, to counter the worst rise in infections for decades. And, early wickets for england, but a thrilling final day in the lords ashes test ends ina draw. Good evening. The government says there will be short term problems, and bumps in the road, if the uk leaves the European Union without a deal, but maintains the country is more prepared than ever. It follows the leak of a Cabinet Office document published in a sunday newspaper, warning of food, medicine and fuel shortages, as well as a possible return to a hard irish border. But the man in charge of planning for a no deal brexit, michael gove, said the memo is a worst Case Scenario and out of date. Borisjohnson is preparing to meet european leaders this week to make his case for a new brexit deal. Heres our political correspondent, nick eardley. It has been the mantra of Boris Johnsons government. Come out of the eu on october the sist, no ifs or buts. We need to get brexit done. We have to leave the eu on october the 315t. So far, though, europe has remained adamant, the brexit deal will not change. U nless unless someone blinks or mps force a delay, the uk is heading for a no deal exit. This morning the sunday times published a leaked government document warning what i could look like, including shortages of food, medicine and fuel. The minister in charge of no deal preparation says it is an old document. It is certainly the case there will be some bumps in the road in the event ofa no some bumps in the road in the event of a no deal but the document that was leaked was the very worst,. The dossier paints a bleak picture. On the food supply. Critical elements of the Food Supply Chain may be in short supply. On plans to keep the irish border open. The model is likely to prove unsustainable because of economic, legal and bio security risks. We are not going to ensure there are any impediments on the irish border. What the European Union decide, that a matter for what the European Union decide, that a matterfor them. What the European Union decide, that a matter for them. Thats very well but this document suggest thats unworkable. No, it is the case that we can ensure we will have a system in place that ensures there is no need for any infrastructure at the border. It will be for mps to consider those assurances when they return here in a couple of weeks. Number ten, meanwhile, is return here in a couple of weeks. Numberten, meanwhile, is furious, it has accused an unnamed former minister of leaking this document to try and influence talks with europe. But for opponents of no deal, those tory rebels and Opposition Mps are convinced there would be a disaster. Leaks like this are confirmation that their worst fears could become a reality. This is not project fear, this is project reality. What we have seen revealed in the sunday times today sets out that we could be here in 2019 with shortages of food, shortages of fuel, shortages of medicine. The Prime Minister will enter the International Arena this week, taking his case to brussels in paris, telling the eus most influential leaders the deal has to change if the uk is to sign up. If not, no deal exit looms. Picking up on that last point, Boris Johnson is talking to angela merkel, president macron and so on before that International Meeting at biarritz. What is he likely to get from them in relation to a possible new deal on brexit . There is little prospect of any Significant Developments in the next few days. Number ten sources say there is a sense of realism. They know for the moment this isnt going to move. But borisjohnson also moment this isnt going to move. But Boris Johnson also wants moment this isnt going to move. But borisjohnson also wants to make clear to european leaders that he isnt going to be the one who blinks. There are some in downing street worried about conversations they are having with europe, european leaders saying they think that parliament will block a no deal brexit so there isnt much point in giving ground to borisjohnson. The message will be there is not the case. As far as im concerned, 31st october, deal or no deal, the uk leaves, deal or no deal. So for that strategy has not all of this alarms many mps, many in parliament, some calling today for an early recall of parliament to discuss it. They are preparing, talking about different strategies to try and block mr johnsons plan, if thats what happens. We are reaching another massive crunch point in brexit. The truth is nobody is sure how it will turn out. Thank you. Nick eardley. Organisers say 1. 7 Million People have taken part in the latest mass demonstrations in hong kong. The protests began 11 weeks ago, against what some see, as attempts by beijing, to undermine the territorys autonomy. Todays gathering, was peaceful. Our china correspondentjohn sudworth was there. And his report contains some flashing images. Beneath an ocean of colour, Hong Kong Raised its voice again. Everywhere you looked, there were umbrellas, held aloft in a massive display of defiance. Why are you marching today . For hong kong. Yeah, freedom. Its a far cry from this, the violent scenes at hong kongs airport earlier this week, which some thought risked undermining public support. The turnout today was seen as a vital test. Given the monsoon conditions, the sea of umbrellas would be seen as confirmation that the Pro Democracy Movement is farfrom losing momentum. Warnings from china also appear to be having little effect. Shortly before the rally, the authorities released new footage of troops rehearsing crowd control techniques just across the border. In much of the city, away from the protests in working class neighbourhoods like this one, theres the appearance of normality. But opinion is deeply divided. Of course its not good, this woman tells me, hong kong is a mess. This man says he supports the protests, but he has a pessimistic view about the likelihood of success. Its in xijinpings hands, he tells me. The communist party is so strong. Its up to them. This is a spontaneous movement, a mass acting as one, with no real leaders. On the one hand, sheer weight of numbers. On the other, and uncompromising government and no end in sight. Police have warned its unlikely a six year old boy, who fell into a river in kent, will be found alive. Lucas dobson disappeared in the river stour at sandwich yesterday, while on a fishing trip. Hundreds of volunteers have joined the Emergency Services to try to find him. Simonjones reports. Searching the river stour for a little boy who hasnt been seen since yesterday lunchtime. Its thought lucas dobson fell into the water as he was stepping onto a fishing boat. His father and two other people jumped in after him. The current swept lucas away. Im not accepting it, yet. Because we cant find him, i tell myself he got out and hes lost, hes looking for us, hes wandering around, wondering where we are. Thats what im telling myself, because to think that my little nephew is still in the river is too much to think about. On the clay. The coast guard, the lifeboat, the police and the fire service have all been involved in the search, plus hundreds of volunteers from the local community, who have heard about what happened and have come out to walk the length of the river bank, desperate to help. Sticking together. I think if i was in the familys situation, i would expect people to help me out as well. You just want a good outcome, really, dont you . Bless him. The police say theyre determined to provide answers for the family, but tonight admitted it was unlikely to be a positive outcome. We are working extremely well together. Weve got the best kit and equipment. Skilled, Trained Personnel out there looking for lucas, and i cant say enough how much we are looking to get a quick resolution to this. The search will resume in the morning. Lucas family have thanked everyone whos helped. Their message wejust want our boy back. Simonjones, bbc news, sandwich. Canada has accused the uk of off loading its responsibilities, after a british man with dual nationality whod travelled to syria to join the Islamic State group was stripped of his uk citizenship. Jack letts was captured by Kurdish Forces two years ago and is currently being held in prison in northern syria. Our security correspondent Frank Gardner is here. So, is britain shirking its responsibility . Thats certainly how canada sees it. They have said they are very disappointed with this and that they have pointed out that terrorism has no borders and countries need to work together. Dont forget that canada and britain are part of what is called the five eyes agreement, where they share intelligence, sensitive intelligence, sensitive intelligence, with america, canada, new zealand and australia. It depends how you want to look at it. Some will say this is a politically motivated populist move to strip him asa motivated populist move to strip him as a dual citizen of his british citizenship. He has a canadian father and a british mother. Others will say this was done on sound National Security grounds. Its not the first time this has happened. In february, Shamima Begum was stripped of her british nationality, another teenager, who went out to marry an isis fighter. The big picture here is that there are still around 320, an estimated 320 british citizens somewhere out in the middle east who joined isis, and no solution has been brought up as to what to do about them. It is a problem and it hasnt been thought through. Thank you, Frank Gardner. Lets take a look at some of the days other top stories. Thousands of homes were left without power, after the three remaining cooling towers at the decommissioned didcot power station in oxfordshire were demolished. The blackout followed controlled explosions, with witnesses saying they saw an electricity pole catch fire, moments after the towers collapsed. The local Energy Supplier initially denied the demolition was to blame, but later said the two were probably linked. Gibraltar has refused a request from the United States to impound a vessel its just released, on suspicion of transporting oil to syria. The ship was seized in earlyjuly with the help of royal marines, but the detention order was lifted on thursday. The government of gibraltar, says us sanctions prohibiting Oil Shipments to syria, dont apply in the European Union. Thousands of homes have been evacuated, as forest fires devastate a mountainous region, on the spanish Holiday Island of gran canaria. 700 firefighters are battling the blazes. Its the second time residents have had to leave their homes because of forest fires in the last week. In afghanistan, a suicide bomber has killed 63 people at a wedding, and left close to 200 others injured. It happened in the capital kabul, as the country prepares to celebrate Independence Day. Owleya trafi has more. A tragic end to a family celebration. Wedding guests are burying the dead. Here, 13 friends and families buried in one mass grave. Translation in this attack, i myself lost two family members, my brother and my nephews. You could never imagine that such an incident could happen at a wedding. The feast was abandoned, as people ran for safety. The bombs went offjust as the marriage ceremony was ending. The couple survived, but mirwais, the groom, said he and his wife felt guilty that so many people had died at their wedding. Translation i have lost hope. Ive lost my brother and my friends who came tojoin my wedding party. The celebration of Independence Day doesnt matter to me any more. More than 180 guests were injured. Many are here, fighting for their lives. The family are not known to be political, and the fear now is that the attackers have switched from targeting politicians and officials to targeting ordinary afghans. Hours after the attack, families are still looking for their loved ones here at the emergency hospital. This attack was particularly shocking, because normally when civilians are caught in conflict, its a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but here a wedding was specifically targeted. People arent feeling safe anywhere any longer in this country. Those safety concerns are increasing, especially now that the Islamic State group has claimed it carried out the attack. Taliban assurances that they are in control throughout the country are no longer credible. Owleya trafi, bbc, kabul. A rise in the spread of hiv in glasgow, among the homeless and drug users, is the most serious in the uk since the 1980s. The bbc has learnt that at least 157 cases have been confirmed in the last four years. Our scotland editor sarah smith, reports. Just one tiny drop of blood can test whos been infected by the rapidly spreading outbreak of hiv in glasgow. So, as i said, just put this in here, ok, and we wait. So if its one line, it means theres no hiv antibodies in the blood, and if its two lines, there is. Well just set that aside just now. Injust minutes, robbie gets the news hed hoped to hear. Im pleased to tell you theres one line, which means you dont have hiv. Sleeping rough, and injecting drugs, he knows he is at high risk of infection. So robbie says he always takes care to get clean needles, available free from various chemists and charities. Do you know people that do share needles . Aye. I said if you can go out of your way to get your money to get drugs, get drugs, you can do it right to get the paraphernalia to do the drugs. You know, its not hard, know what i mean . White Waverley Care in glasgow on the first and only Team Anywhere in the uk taking hiv testing onto the streets. They gave us an exclusive look at their attempts to reach the growing Homeless Population in glasgow. You do see people getting anxious. Everyone seems to know someone with hiv but werent aware of the outbreak. They dont know the numbers. They may be aware of two people in their close circle of friends, but not aware of the potential hundred plus that is connected to Glasgow City Centre who are hiv positive. Widespread widespread hiv testing, trying to identify everyone who is infected, could help to contain the outbreak, but at the moment the really worrying thing is that the spread of the infection in glasgow seems to be rapidly escalating, with around a 100 increase in new cases this year so far. This man is a heroin addict who manages his hiv with prescription medication. When he was first diagnosed, though, he was terrified the infection would be fatal. I tried to overdose. You try deliberately, you tried to take an overdose because you find that you are hiv positive . Yeah. As i was sliding down the wall, somebody touch me on the shoulder, and ijumped up. So they saved my life. Why is there such a bad outbreak of it in glasgow . See, the people thats got it, i think that theyre not telling. I think not telling people that theyve got it, and theyre letting them use their needles. Why do people take the risk . Once you start withdrawing, start getting mad thoughts in your head, and you want to get rid of them. I suppose some people would do anything just to get rid of it, you know what i mean . Living on the streets with hiv is not easy. Not everyone takes their medication every day, not when heroin is a higher priority. Thats why halting the spread of infection is so urgent and so difficult. Sarah smith, bbc news, glasgow. Now with all the sport, heres karthi gna nasegaram, at the bbc sport centre. Good evening. Clive, it has been an enthralling five days, but the second ashes test has ended ina draw. Australia lead the ashes series 1 0 but englands fast bowler jofra archer has shown the impact he can have in test cricket, while ben stokes hit a century. Australia though frustrated england in a tense final few hours. Joe wilson reports from lords. It was past midday when the sun got its act together and allowed englands batsmen to play. Ben stokes was ready. His hundred was a quick scoring classic, and it allowed englands captain to make his decision. 266 ahead, lets try to win, lets bowl. So, are to warner to burns, court, to win, lets bowl. So, are to warnerto burns, court, out. England we re warnerto burns, court, out. England were often running atjofra archer pace. Too quick for a dutchman khawaja. Next to bat, labuschagne, replacing steve smith who had woken up replacing steve smith who had woken up with a headache and grogginess, so he became crickets first concussion substitute, and now he faced archer. These blows are worrying but lets be clear again there was immediate concern from england, and both teams know its pa rt england, and both teams know its part of test cricket. So with slow bowling. With spin, each deceived bancroft, l b w. Labuschagne had defied england with a 50 whenjoe root confirmed a fingertip catch. Joe denley pulled off something spectacular. That catch left england australia six wickets down but thats where it stopped. England finally ran out of time but they ta ke finally ran out of time but they take inspiration. So the series stays at 1 0 but was jofra take inspiration. So the series stays at 1 0 but wasjofra archer now involve the whole dynamic has changed, hasnt it . It seem so. He has come in and he really has made a massive impact, added a different dynamic to our bowling group. So its really pleasing to see someone coming on test debut and really shake up things. This test match finished late and it deserves to be remembered for many reasons, certainly for the bravery of steve smith on saturday, to be hit and then to return to the crease, but if he misses the end of this test match because of concussion, should he, could he really be passed fit to play the next one, starting on thursday . England go to leeds wondering just whatjofra archer might do in his second test match. Joe wilson, bbc news at lords. Its time to pop out of the room if you dont want to know todays premier league results, as match of the day two follows soon on bbc one. Frank lampards first game as the chelsea manager at Stamford Bridge ended in a 1 1 draw with leicester city, while Sheffield United beat Crystal Palace 1 0 in their first home game in the top flight in 12 years. Rangers and aberdeen have booked their places in the quarterfinals of the Scottish League cup today. Rangers beat league one side, east fife 3 0, while aberdeen needed extra time to knock dundee out of the competition.

Shauna miller uibo won the race. And britains adam gemili finished in second place in the mens 100 metres behind johan blake. Theres more on the bbc sport website, including the latest from hockeys euro champioships. Thats it. Now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. Have a very good night. Hello. This is bbc news. A ceremony has been held at the top of an extinct volcano in iceland to mark the loss of the first glacier to be wiped out by climate change. Ijokull went from this. To this. As recently as the 1980s it showed as a mass of solid white. By 2014 it was declared dead. The glacier is now a small patch of ice on top of an extinct volcano, where todays ceremony took place. A bronze plaque was unveiled with a message to warn future generations about the effects of global warming. Well earlier i spoke to cymene howe, professor of anthropology at Rice University in texas, she came up with the idea of the memorial, and spoke to me from reykjavik soon after the ceremony. What we wanted to do was to memorialise the loss of icelands first well known named glacier to be lost to climate change. And, as you noted, what sigurdsson declared was that ijokull should no longer be a glacier as of 2014 and so, this is an important story, we believe, that tells us something, in a small way, in a small country, about a much larger dynamic that is occurring around the world. As we see glaciers disappear and it is very interesting, because i think in much of the media, when we hear about the loss of glaciers, it is really about them receding or we hear about massive amounts of ice being lost, for example very recently, in greenland, but we dont hear news about glaciers that have been completely wiped out and that is the story with ijokull. It is now a glacier no more and cannot expect to be a glacier again for many thousands of years, if ever again. So, we wanted to memorialise this passing because we think it is indicative of a much larger problem. Yeah, we keep hearing of course, so many different stories about the effect of climate change, but i think this is the first time that there has actually been a ceremony like this, marking perhaps the emotional as well as the physical effects. Yeah. We think this is important. Again, when we talk about climate changejust over dinner or when we hear news reports, there are often stories about the science and it is really, really important to recognise the science and understand it. But it can be very abstract for people, so my colleague and i, we are anthropologists, and we understand our symbolism and the power of ceremony to make an impact. And the fact that the images of the plaque that have been circulated over the last couple of weeks, have really gone viral and people have been so emotionally struck by the words on the plaque, which were written by our icelandic colleague. They are such powerful words and the ceremony itself is another powerful physical way to recognise this passing, that maybe doesnt. It works differently from what we see in the abstractions of discussing climate. So for us, now is the time to act, it is already past the time to act, so, in some ways we see this as a memorial to recognise the loss of this glacier and in that sense it is a sad moment, but we also see it as a call to action, because on the memorial itself, it asks future generations to judge us for what we have or have not done. It says, only you know if we have done what we needed to do, in order to create a Better Future and so, that really is a call to action as well. And of course, this comes at a time when there is concern about many of the other glaciers there in iceland. Yes. Especially a very famous glacier, jules verne made it famous internationally, because it is where thejourney to the centre of the earth was set and for icelanders, it is one of the most important cultural glacier figures and it is visible from reykjavik and it is disappearing very quickly. It is melting rapidly and that will be a huge loss culturally to iceland and to the world. It is one of the most recognisable glaciers, so ijokull is the first glacier, major glacier to go, but there will be others and that is the sad truth of climate change. Time for a look at the weather. Hello, again. Showers have been a really widespread today, particularly across the northern half of the uk. And of course, with the showers, we get rainbows, like these. This was spotted earlier on in the day in rossendale in lancashire, thanks to beverly for sending us that. The radar picture shows the extent of the recent showers then, you can see, absolutly caked in showers. Scotland, Northern Ireland, Northern England and north wales. It will be one of those days where most places will have seen downpour after downpour today. Southward, showers will continue to keep going as wll overnight, driven on by the brisk, westerly winds. Just some slightly bigger gaps between the showers, the further south that you are. Temperatures overnight between around 10 13 celsius. Its going to be another breezy start to the day as we look at the forecast into monday. The same area of low pressure still with us. The same low weve had all weekend. It is moving closer to norway. We have still got north westerly winds coming in. They will be bringing plenty of heavy, thundery showers. I think some of the heaviest downpours on monday are likely to move into Northern Ireland, southern scotland, and probably north west england, maybe north wales as well. Scotland will continue to see heavy showers here. And it is going to start to get cooler as well, because the winds in scotland and Northern Ireland are coming down from polar regions, whereas for england and wales, the air is coming in from the mid atla ntic. So some temperature contrasts across the country form north to south. A cool 16 in edinburgh, 17 in belfast. Across england and wales, still generally around 19 22 degrees. For tuesday, the supply of that really cold air gets cut off. Do have a little ridge moving across the uk for a time on tuesday, ahead of this next weather system that will ultimately bring some rain into western areas. So should be a dry start to the day across eastern parts, with some sunshine, clouds gather with rain pushing into Northern Ireland. Perhaps parts of wales, northwest england, and westerns and seeing the rain arriving later in the day. With many eastern areas probably staying fine. Fewer showers for the far north of scotland, so weather improving here, but still a cool feel to things. Heading into wednesday, we have another area of low pressure moving in. That is going to be bringing in some heavier rain to the northwest of the uk. That rain band pushes across the whole of Northern Ireland to scotland. The whole of Northern England, probably north wales as well. Whereas across the south, it should stay dry,
