Its 8am here in singapore, 1am in london and 8 in the morning in hong kong where, in the run up to the 70th anniversary of communist party rule in china, theres been some of the worst violence in more than three months of Anti Government unrest. There were running battles as protesters threw molotov cocktails, and the police fired round after round of tear gas and rubber bullets. Lets go straight to the bbcs mariko oi, whos in hong kong for us. As you said, we saw the 17th weekend of protests which also marked the anniversary of the start of the Umbrella Movement protests which demanded free and Fair Elections but the demands of these pro democracy protesters are the demands of these pro democracy protesters a re in the demands of these pro democracy protesters are in direct contrast to the celebrations of 70 years of 1 party rule by the communist authorities. Theyre determined to spoil the party. With just two days to go before chinas big anniversary, hong kong is decidedly off message. While in beijing, rehearsals are in full swing for a celebration of 70 years of communist rule and a message of unity and strength, in hong kong theres division, uncertainty and fear. Its a faultline that cuts across class and generation. This 73 year old is showing me the protective gear he wears when supporting the protesters. Translation for 70 years the ruling party has subdued its people. Do you think we are in the mood to celebrate . This woman is in favour of chinese rule and says the protests are scaring off mainland chinese tourists. Translation i still have business but not as much as before. Ive lost at least a half of my revenue. With more protests planned on tuesday, the authorities are not taking chances. You can still taste the tear gas in the air. Hong kong finds itself at the centre of a global clash of values authoritarianism against freedom. 0n the streets of this city, chinas vision of its future has run into a crisis of legitimacy.

John sudworth, bbc news, hong kong. As you saw injohns report, a lot of violent clashes over the weekend. We spoke to a protester and a former Police Officer. Later, i will be speaking to a probating parties. Left out pro beijing party person. Now for some of the days other news two of the very few people who have listened to covert recordings of the killing of saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, have described the detail of what they heard. A year ago this week, the writer and critic of saudi arabias government was murdered in the saudi consulate in istanbul. Members of a Un Investigation Team have told the bbcs panorama of the horror and shock of listening to his final moments. Jane corbin has this report. A year ago, on the 2nd of october, Jamal Khashoggi vanished after entering the saudi consulate in istanbul. We only know what happened next because the consulate was bugged by turkish intelligence. You could hear them laughing. It is a sort of chilling business. They are waiting there knowing that this man is going to come in and he is going to be murdered. British barrister, helena kennedy, is one of the very few people who have listened to the audio recordings of the journalists death. The horror of listening to somebodys voice, and the fear in someones voice makes a shiver go through your body. Baroness kennedy was invited to join a team headed by agnes callamard, the un special rapporteur for extrajudicial killing, who negotiated access to the crucial tapes. The recordings reveal what happened to the journalist inside the consulate. He says, am i being kidnapped . How could this happen in an embassy . The sounds that are heard after that point indicate that he is suffocated, probably with a plastic bag. Callamards report concluded that the saudi state was responsible for the murder. The saudi government declined to give an interview to panorama but said it condemned the abhorrent killing, and it was committed to holding the perpetrators accountable. It said that the crown prince had absolutely nothing to do with what it called a henious crime. Jane corbin, bbc news.

We are looking in detail today at the protests in hong kong but i just want to bring you a couple of related news lines around the story because thousands of protesters have also gathered in taiwan in support of free elections in hong kong. China regards taiwan as a renegade province. Taiwans government and people have been among the strongest supporters of hong kong peoples movement. Many there say that whats happening in hong kong is a reminder that taiwanese people should safeguard their democracy and be cautious about their dealings with beijing. Lets return to hong kong and my colleague mariko 0i as we have been reporting, we have seen the 17th weekend of protest. Earlier we heard from a protester and a former Police Officer so lets hear from the pro and a former Police Officer so lets hearfrom the pro beijing dav party. What is your reaction to what happened over the weekend 7 what is your reaction to what happened over the weekend . M what is your reaction to what happened over the weekend . It is becoming a new norm in town. Wejust have to check our calendar to see where the protests are and avoid the area. They are spreading to neighbourhood areas. We are very frustrated at the situation. At this moment we do not see a solution. The chief executive open a dialogue, the first and we are hoping to have more an intensive ones. At this moment, we are still very frustrated. Some of the supporters and civilians are angry. More reactions coming out on line to say we have had enough, what can we do to help. Surely the protesters want universal suffrage. Is that too much to ask . Universal suffrage set in need a body representing. A vetting system but if youre not agreeing the basic law, you need to change the law stop you cannot just law, you need to change the law stop you cannotjust go on protests and change it like that. You need to go through an official process, like the legislator has to come up with that and go through a discussion period. It started with the controversial extradition bill and one can understand their fear, the china is having a greater control of hong kong. I think the field mostly comes from the fake news on line. If you have that extradition bill, you cannot go to japan anymore. And some of them is to have a mistress in china and think they will send me back if you at the detail of the extradition bill, it says that even if you are prosecuted under political related crime, you would not be extradited and, as well, any of the prosecuted have to go through the hong kong court. We did see some booksellers disappearing and then found in china even before the extradition bill. I do not think so. If you look at the image of china having great control of hong kong, if you look at that, if they are doing so, we have our nationalflag bowed down ten times over the past weeks. If the china government was trying to tap into the hong kong system, they would have tapped in a long time ago. The nationalflag system, they would have tapped in a long time ago. The National Flag was read by some black paint and it was burning every single weekend. I think there is a misunderstanding and misconception. The government have not done well in communicating and to solve the misunderstanding. I think it is about time for the Hong Kong Government to look into that and resolve it that way. Thank you for joining and resolve it that way. Thank you forjoining us. We are expecting more protests tomorrow as china marks the national day puff for now back to you. The british Prime Minister, borisjohnson, says hes been a model of restraint when it comes to the language hes used in the brexit debate. It follows a week of bitter exchanges between mps, and accusations that his rhetoric has been inflammatory. Mrjohnson has refused to apologise for words such as surrender, when describing the legislation designed to stop the uk leaving the European Union without a deal. J0nathan blake reports. Jonathan blake reports. You cant miss the message that conservatives want to hammer home here. Get brexit done might be a simple slogan but the reality has been far from easy for the Prime Minister so far, and hes arrived here facing questions about how hes tried to argue his case. Accusations that his language has got out of hand. He should be ashamed, say labour, but borisjohnson says all sides need to pause for breath. Well, i certainly think everybody should calm down. Including you . I think ive been the model of restraint. My use of the word humbug was in the context of people trying to prevent me, us, from using the word surrender. My intention was to. So you can say sorry for the misunderstanding at least . I can certainly say sorry for the misunderstanding, absolutely. Whatever words he uses from the moment he stepped foot in manchester, borisjohnsons message wont change, that brexit should happen by the end of october, come what may, and its in the countrys interests to make sure of it. I think the best thing for the country and the best thing for peoples overall Psychological Health would be to get brexit done. No detail on how, Given Parliament has passed a law forcing him to ask for an extension if a deal cant be done. But would he step aside, allowing someone else to do that . I i ive undertaken to lead the party and my country at a difficult time and im going to continue to do that, i believe it is my responsibility. And inside the conference hall, you wouldnt know there was any attempt to delay brexit. Key figures doubled down on their promise to leave by the end of october. If the eu spurn the opportunity for a win win deal, we will leave at the end of october, no ifs, no buts. And if we dont get a deal by october the 31st, we will have to leave without a deal. Applause. Away from brexit, questions remain for the Prime Minister about his friendship with the businesswoman Jennifer Arcuri and whether she received special treatment on trade visits while mrjohnson was mayor of london. An emphatic denial he did anything wrong. Everything was done in accordance with all. I asked you a very specific question, you have to declare an interest, did you declare it . There was no interest to declare. For all the questions facing the Prime Minister, its brexit which will drown out everything else. Jonathan blake, bbc news, manchester. Youre watching newsday on the bbc. Still to come on the programme we speak to a former ukrainian prosecutor about allegations donald trump put pressure on ukraine, to dig up dirt we have disturbing evidence on the abuse in puppy farms which has been uncovered in a bbc investigation.

Democrats in the United States congress, say impeachment hearings against donald trump, could be held this week. The allegations centre on claims he put pressure on ukraine, to dig up dirt on a potential rival, whos running for the white house in 2020. Jonah fisher reports from the capital, kiev. With an impeachment enquiry under way, President Trump is on the attack, tweeting a new video about his possible opponent in next years election. Weve stepped up the official assistance to help backstop the ukrainian economy. This was four years ago in kiev. Joe biden was Vice President and the 0bama administrations go to man on ukraine. At the same time, his son, hunter, had a well paid job on the board of a Ukrainian Energy company. President trump has claimed, without supporting evidence, thatjoe biden got a ukrainian prosecutor called Viktor Shokin sacked because he was investigating hunters company. Today in kiev, the man who took over from mr shokin blew a big hole in President Trumps story. Have you got any evidence that joe biden acted in anyway which supported Hunter Bidens company, burisma . It is not myjurisdiction. But have you got any . It is not myjurisdiction. I cant do nothing which is not connected with ukrainian law. So, under ukrainian law, youve got nothing . Nothing, certainly. Mr lutsenko has changed his tune. We spoke with mr giuliani, one, before new york, then three days in new york then one or two days. The former prosecutor general was earlier this year close to President Trumps lawyer, Rudy Giuliani. The former new york mayor has taken a particular interest in ukraine, and both men talked up a biden investigation. Lets play the clip, please. Shown his one time allys interview with us, mr giuliani quickly declared the friendship over. Mr lutsenko is exactly the prosecutor thatjoe biden put in, in order to tank the case. Mr lutsenkos about turn wont help President Trump as he seeks to make this story Aboutjoe Biden and his son, rather than his own conduct. With an impeachment inquiry underway, its likely we are going to be hearing a lot more about Rudy Giuliani and what hes been doing here in ukraine. Jonah fisher, bbc news, kiev. Here in the uk, a bbc investigation into licensed puppy farming in wales, has found widespread suffering and abuse of dogs, despite regular checks by vets and council inspectors. The year long investigation found dogs in filthy and unfit conditions. Wyre davies has this special report. West wales has been called the capital of puppy farming. With more than 12 Million Pounds each year in wales alone, and which produces around 211,000 puppies annually. But in a year long investigation, we found appalling conditions in farm afterfarm all Council Approved businesses. Dog lover Danielle Foley bought her new puppy a beagle she called winston from a licensed puppy farm in caernarfonshire after seeing him advertised online. She paid the breeder directly £650. But within days, winston had fallen seriously ill with parvovirus a highly contagious disease that is often fatal. At two oclock in the morning the vets rung my mum and said, his organs, theyre shutting down, its just going to be a slow, painful death. So can they make it quick, make it easy for him . The breeder who sold danielle the puppy told us he maintained excellent standards, even though inspection reports found problems with waste, poor Record Keeping and the presence of parvo at his farm. Yet it was still given a licence by the council. Vets are vets a re pa rt vets are part of the welfare system, too, yet according to senior vets we showed our evidence too, some of their colleagues have been found wanting. The system is definitely broken and vets are absolutely an integral part of it. We absolutely, asa integral part of it. We absolutely, as a profession, have a part to play on the responsibility of the health and welfare of the pets under our care. Across the uk, there are safeguards in place to regulate puppy safeguards in place to regulate puppy farming but when that system fails, it is dogs that suffer and owners who can lose thousands of pounds.
