That its willing to compromise with the uk on a brexit deal. The british rock drummer ginger baker, who was part of the band cream with eric clapton, has died at the age of 80. And in half an hour, Victoria Derbyshire the week in review hears a warning that mixing cocaine and alcohol increases violent behaviour. Good afternoon. Tens of thousands of demonstrators have again taken to the streets in hong kong, defying a ban on wearing face masks which has been imposed under a new emergency law. Police used tear gas and charged them with batons to try to break up the crowds. The protesters, who first took to the streets injune, are demanding greater democratic freedoms. Our china corrspondent robin brant reports. Standing and waiting, taking cover under umbrellas from the warm rain. Almost all of them were wearing a face mask. This was how hong kongs protesters showed their contempt for their government and its latest attempts to quell the protests, with emergency measures that outlaw face masks. Some were even handing them out, to stop people getting sick, one man told me. This was a sizeable turnout. Tens and tens of thousands marching on the streets, and shutting down major roads once again. As the Police Watched from on high, some made roadblocks, others prepared their weapons for a fight. And then. Now you need a face mask because the police are firing tear gas to try and disperse this crowd. It is coming in fairly indiscriminately, over the top. The police are over there. I mean, there is no violent confrontation, but this is the first sign of tactics to try and disperse the crowd today. It has definitely been numbering in the tens and tens of thousands. Hong kongs leader, carrie lam, spoke of paralysis here yesterday, condemning the protesters once again. The face mask ban has done nothing, though, to help lessen that. Translation carrie lam is trying to use the ban to keep us from coming out. I want to tell her that this is counter productive. She is just targeting the symptoms but not the root causes. She is suppressing our right to express ourselves. This will only push us further. Hong kongs police now have even more powers to arrest protesters and various techniques at their disposal to push people back, but as night falls here, even more shops are closing early, fearing violent attack from the hardcore who have targeted some business. Well, robin brant sent this further update in the past hour. This is the moan kok district in kowloon, kowloon is the bit of hong kong attached to the mainland. This is a sunday night in a big shopping area of hong kong. It is not really supposed to look like this, is it . The street taken over by protesters, most of them wearing the face masks that are now illegal to wear at illegal protests. There is a roadblock there constructed by protesters, there is a roadblock there constructed by protesters. Is a roadblock there constructed they are waiting for something. Is a roadblock there constructed i have to say, the sense tonight is that there is not going to be anything major. There is no Police Presence around where we are. Something interesting has happened in the last hour not far from here. A Peoples Liberation army barracks, the chinese army, remember, we are in china, protesters were marching past that in the last hour and for the first time, i am told, since these protests began four months ago, there were audio warnings from within the barracks, spotlights were being shined on the protesters and at one point, someone wearing what looked like a camouflage military uniform on the roof of the barracks held up a warning flag telling the people below that they risked being arrested for breaking the law. That is an acknowledgement from within the pla barracks and it seems, on the face of it, slightly more provocative, certainly evidence of increased tensions between the protesters and the authorities here, which includes the chinese army. Robin brant in hong kong. Lets cross now to nottingham where we can speak to professor steve tsang who is director of the China Institute at soas, the school of oriental and African Studies in london. Thank you for speaking to a site bbc news. First, what worries you the most about this introduction of emergency regulations ordinance, what does it portend for kong . Emergency regulations ordinance, what does it portend for kong . M emergency regulations ordinance, what does it portend for kong . It is escalation on the part of the authorities in hong kong. The emergency regulations ordinance will enable the chief executive to exercise very wide powers, the kind of power that would be available to countries in a state of emergency. In the case of hong kong, they will not need a state of emergency to do so. Not need a state of emergency to do so. It means they can arrest thousands of people and put them away for a long time. Have these arrests started yet because we were expecting to start seeing widespread arrests taking place . Why do you think carrie lam and the Security Forces have held by . think carrie lam and the Security Forces have held by . I think they are trying to use the facemask ban to distract attention from the new regulations. Partly it is to deter people from coming out to demonstrate. In the short term, it will almost certainly have the opposite effect and get more people coming out to demonstrate, but over the long term, whether this would deter people remains to be seen. We have seen more people come out, as soon as the ban was announced, they we re soon as the ban was announced, they were on the streets. I am keen to get your impression of what you think is the strategy from beijing, the long game they are playing . think what beijing tries to do is to put an end to the protests in hong kong, whatever way they can. Except they are looking for a political solution except looking for a political solution. I do not think they actually want to go all the way down that road, which will involve the deployment of chinese Security Forces to hong kong. But we are getting one step closer to that. This is the pla we are talking about. Why is everyone concerned about. Why is everyone concerned about them entering the protest and getting onto the streets of hong kong . When we talk about Security Forces, i think they will be talking about the Peoples ArmedPolice Rather than the Peoples Liberation army. It is a distinction because the Peoples Liberation army is trying to kill, whereas the police are trained to beat people up and surprise. This is something people are very surprise. This is something people are very worried about, because of the image of the beijing massacre in 1989. I do not think we are going to get a repeat of that in hong kong, but the use of chinese Security Forces in hong kong will cause a basic change to the image of hong kong and the idea that hong kong is special from the rest of china, that myth will be broken by the deployment of chinese Security Forces. Professor, what do you make of the fact that carrie lam is still in charge of hong kong . What is beijing doing . Carrie lam is not really in charge in hong kong any longer in any sense of the word. She is being kept in office by beijing because the Chinese Government cannot and will not appear weak to the demonstrators. Therefore, they will not remove her under pressure from the protesters in hong kong. It is quite clear that by now carrie lam is mostly just is quite clear that by now carrie lam is mostlyjust following orders from china. Lets go back to what the protesters wanted. What have they achieved so far and how likely are they to get more concessions . The protesters won five demands, one of them of the bills for providing the power for the government to extradite people in hong kong to face justice extradite people in hong kong to facejustice in extradite people in hong kong to face justice in mainland extradite people in hong kong to facejustice in mainland china. That has been withdrawn. The other four demands, including an enquiry into police brutality, including some kind ofan police brutality, including some kind of an amnesty for the protesters, including allowing people in hong kong to have democratic elections, those are unlikely to be granted by the Chinese Government. Outside foreign commentary on the situation on hong kong, we have heard it around the world, how is this being regarded in beijing, and is it likely to have any effect . It is taken very seriously by the Chinese Government. Hong kong does matter to china in a whole range of ways. Public opinion in china is not too much of a problem for the government there at the moment, because by and large, if you live in china as a chinese citizen, you only hear the Chinese Governments version of the story and that version of the story will not encourage you to support the protesters. You will support the Chinese Government against the protesters in hong kong. So the government in beijing still has a fair bit of scope to manage this the way it wants to. Ok, professor, thank you very much for your analysis. Thank you. Youre welcome. Lets turn to events taking place in the usa. Media is reporting that a second whistleblower has emerged in the controversy about President Trumps conversations with his ukranian counterpart. Mr trump has already been accused of asking the ukranians to dig for dirt on his rivaljoe biden. And now abc news says a second whistleblower has come forward with first hand knowledge of what happened. Lets speak to the bbcs Chris Buckler in washington. He is following the story for us. Bring us up to speed with what has happened. There has been talk for days that a second whistle blower was thinking of coming forward and giving information to the Intelligence Community inspector general. That is the watchdog within the government for the Intelligence Community. We have now had it confirmed by the lawyer representing the first whistle blower and now the second whistle blower, that the second whistle blower, that the second member of the Intelligence Community has come forward and giving evidence about the phone call that took place between donald trump and the ukrainian president , volodymyr zelenskiy. In his statement, the lawyer says, i can confirm the report of a second whistle blower being represented by our legal team. They also made a protected disclosure under the law and cannot be retaliated against. That means that under the whistle blower law they made their statement and action cannot be taken against them. Among those people, they were taking talking about they were taking talking about the potential of the second whistle blower coming forward, that included the president himself. The whistle blower got my phone conversation almost completely wrong. What is there going to the bench and another whistle blower is coming in from the deep state, also with second hand info. The last bit does not seem to be right. The suggestion from the details of this whistle blower coming from the lawyer is that he has first hand information, so that is obviously very important within this, but what will be more important is exactly what they have to say, exactly what information they can provide to the inspector general. On that point, the democrats are trying to collate as much evidence as they can on this. What have they got so far and what are they waiting on . It is a very good point. They have got some details and Text Messages that have raised concerns about potentially was there a suggestion of perhaps giving the Ukrainian Government something in return for launching this investigation. That is firmly denied by the white house who said there was no quid pro quo but they haveissued there was no quid pro quo but they have issued subpoenas as well, looking for information and documents from the white house about the call and related matters. It should be said, we have had a rough transcript of this conversation between President Trump and president zelenskiy, in which it is confirmed that President Trump asked his ukrainian counterpart to launch an investigation intojoe biden and his son, taps my country, who had business dealings in the country. Joe biden is one of the frontrunners to be the democratic president ial candidate in next years elections, but they want more information and the full transcript to see exactly what was said, and the argument from the democrats is very simple, they say it is against the law to try and get anything from a Foreign Government that would interfere any us election. Mr trump is my argument is different. He says he was trying to root out corruption and investigate corruption which he says is his right if not his duty but at the same time, he has offered no evidence whatsoever againstjoe biden or his son. He said it is his obligation, his right to question corruption. How much does the threat of impeachment and what is happening now matter to americans and his supporters . To his supporters, probably not a lot. For those firmly within the donald trump base, they feel strongly that sometimes he is a victim of what is being described time and time again as witch hunts. You have heard the president railed against the russian enquiry, he says this is just another step on it. Against the russian enquiry, he says this isjust another step on it. To some extent, it does not matter what his supporters think and this is what the democrats will be focusing on, it matters about the floating voters, the voters that were persuaded to go for President Trump in 2016, it matters what they think going into 2020. There is a danger that this could backfire and the democrats impeachment enquiries could have a negative impact on them and it could fire up his supporters but people will be watching this closely. Republicans seem to be standing by President Trump, with the exception of the few senators, including most notably mitt romney, and he has been attacked by President Trump on twitter in the last 2a hours after suggesting that the president had some things to a nswer the president had some things to answer but at the same time, they will be watching closely and perhaps nervously as the democrats try to get information and documents from the white house.

The french president has urged borisjohnson to engage in discussions swiftly with the eus chief negotiator, during a phone call to discuss the Prime Ministers latest brexit proposals. Earlier, mrjohnson urged the European Union to, in his words, grasp the opportunity his brexit plan offers, insisting britain will leave the eu at the end of october. The brexit secretary, stephen barclay, has suggested that the government is willing to be flexible on the detail of its proposals. Labour says the Prime Ministers current plan is not acceptable. Heres our Political Correspondent helen catt. If borisjohnson is to get a brexit deal done in time for the 31st of october then talks need to turn into formal intensive negotiations within days. And so far, the eu has said the uks proposals are not enough for it to agree to that. Writing in two sunday papers, the Prime Minister said the eu needs to move and grasp the opportunity that our new proposal provides. European leaders say they believe a deal can be done but mrjohnson needs to move too. One area of concern is the plan to keep Northern Ireland following eu rules on goods if a trade deal cant be reached that allows no border with ireland. The Northern Irish assembly would get to vote on whether or not to do it and then again every four years on keeping it. The brexit secretary has hinted at a possible further uk compromise there. Obviously as part of the intense negotiations in the coming days, discuss that mechanism but the key issue is the principle of consent to any regulatory zone. The problem for borisjohnson is that if he changes what he set out too much, he risks losing the vital support hes gained from some groups within parliament. Although labour is sceptical he could get through what he is currently proposing in any case. He has got to move, he has got to compromise in the national and International Interest if hes going to get our support. Meanwhile, some ministers are privately discussing what may happen if Boris Johnson cannot get a deal done. There have been discussions on how the uk could disrupt eu business if brexit is delayed, and reports that mrjohnson himself could refuse to leave downing street if opposition parties vote him out. But for now, the focus remains on getting a deal, whats clear is a breakthrough depends on someone budging. The question is who. Helen catt, bbc news. The former conservative cabinet minister Stephen Dorrell has joined the liberal democrats. Mr dorrell, who was a conservative mp for 36 years and served as Health Secretary injohn majors government, had already left the conservatives to join change uk earlier this year. Writing in the times, he said liberal conservatives and social democrats should break cover and join the liberal democrats in a big tent. A bbc radio1 extra live music event in birmingham was ended early last night after a man was attacked with a knife backstage. The rapper krept suffered a slash wound before his performance.

Roman catholic bishops have been gathering at the vatican earlier this morning, for the start of a three week meeting which will include discussions on whether to allow married men to be ordained as priests. Pope francis led a mass this morning to open the meeting, where catholic bishops from around the world will be discussing the future of the church in the amazon. If they decide to allow married men to become priests it would break centuries of tradition, but would help to alleviate a shortage of clergymen in the region. The rock drummer, ginger baker, who was a co founder of cream, has died at the age of 80. The south london born musician also played with blind faith, hawkwind and fela kuti, in a long and varied career. A message on gingers twitter account said he. Passed away peacefully in hospital this morning. Matt everitt, presenter of bbc 6 music and former drummer, told me earlier how ginger baker was an astonishing drummer whose health had been suffering for a while. It is tragic. We did expect this, ginger had been very ill of late and had suffered ill health for quite a long time. Hed had issues with quite a long term heroin addiction that he never really quite, in terms of health, overcome. Its sad but not entirely unexpected but a tragedy for the world of drumming nonetheless. He was described as a turbulent drummer whys that . The two sides of ginger baker was this incredibly talented percussionist drummer, visionary in terms of the way he played the drums and then this very, very difficult human being and the two things were interwoven. There will be many people mourning his loss as a musician and quite relieved not to have to work with him again, to be totally frank. His background, although he became famous initially through playing jazz in rock bands like cream but his two great legacies was the way he brought the attitude, the virtuosity, the improvisation of the nature ofjazz and brought it into rock music. No one had done that or done anything close, with the skill that ginger managed to do. There was a free form nature to his playing. There was a feel, a rhythm and a character that no one else really had. There is very few drummers could say that, keith moon, may be ringo starr, nobody sounded like ginger at all. He brought the world ofjazz into the world of rock in this most flamboyant and incendiary way. He was a very, very difficult man and cream had a very short life as a band, barely 18 months and a lot of that was down to the fact that he was difficult to get on with, thats fair to say. There was a documentary made a few years ago called beware of mr baker and they had to go and find this pretty gnarly character, it is fair to say. What were his reflections on his fame, did he ever talk about that . He disregarded a lot of other drummers as being not as good as him and in most cases he was right. He had a grudging respect for musicians he played with, but didnt tell them a lot about it. The other interesting thing he did, if you are trying to find out more about his legacy, he was one of the First Western musicians to go to africa, he went to lagos to play with musicians there, most famously fela kuti, a pioneering musician who was responsible for the afro beat movement. If you are into drums and rhythm, ginger thought go to the source, go to africa. He did some incredible recordings over there. He had a passion for that music. He also had a passion for polo horses, spent a lot of the money he earned on horses and got done out of a lot of money by some bad business moves and some bad agents across the years as well. Maybe that also contributed to his slightly grumpy nature. Its a lot to say that he didnt have a good word to say about anyone, thats not quite true but youd be hard pushed to find anyone he would enthuse about. Most people will know him as co founder of cream. How was that time in the band and his relationship with eric . Him and eric, i think he once called eric clapton his best friend and they had a very turbulent relationship, with jack bruce from the band as well, they rubbed against each other enormously but then you had three, and this is the point, three exceptional musicians, each pulling in different directions, bringing these incredible ideas to the handful of records they did. Sometimes talents, talent is about those characters. Thats not excusing his behaviour as a difficult man to work with but he couldnt be contained within the confines of a band for very long. We should be lucky that he recorded the amazing records that he did. The met office has issued an amber warning for heavy rain in the east of england warning that disruption from flooding is likely. This was the scene on the a117 near honingham, west of norwich, a little earlier.
