Britains thriving science sector who responded with anti putin chants. Would be put at risk by a no deal brexit that is the warning from the head of the wellcome trust, the uks biggest charitable funder of scientific research. The trust spends around £1 billion a year supporting research, most of it in the uk. Katy austin has more. Jasmin is a scientist from germany, researching sex chromosomes at the Francis Crick institute in london. She is not sure whether to stay in the uk, though, because the country is leaving the eu. My feeling is that over the next ten, 20 years, if brexit actually happens, especially if it happens without a deal, which seems likely now, that uk science is on the decline, with regards to yeah, funding opportunities, positions that are available, attractiveness of living here.

We are going to take it to hong kong. There were tens of thousands of people out on the streets again in hong kong. There had been a protest in a public park that had been authorised by police but it had spilled out and in view of the authorities, anything outside of the park was deemed to be illegal. Now we have got demonstrators and heavily Armed Security forces. You will recall that hong kong has seen eight consecutive weekends of Anti Government and pro democracy protests. Yesterday, police fired and rubber bullets at another protest in the north and we have seen the same action taken today by the police. It all began several weeks ago because of opposition to a bill whereby people from hong kong could be extradited to the chinese mainland.
