the prime minister is in brussels hoping for a breakthrough in the brexit negotations as an eu summit gets under way. some in her party are urging her to walk away with no deal unless future trade relations are discussed. she says she remained hopeful. the speech i set out in florence set out the ambitious vision and i look forward to us progressing that in the weeks ahead. also this lunchtime... the latest on the rohingya refugee crisis. we're live near the border in bangladesh as thousands continue to flee myanmar. the refugee camp in bangladesh where the heavens have just opened the refugee camp in bangladesh where the heavens havejust opened is home to hundreds of thousands of refugees, but it will have to be extended because of the severity of this crisis. the hollywood sex scandal — now sir tom jones says such behaviour is also found in the music industry. the number of crimes recorded in a year by police in england and wales passes the 5 million mark for the first time in a decade. spain's constitutional crisis

continues, as the government says it will impose direct rule on catalonia after its independence referendum. # lasses are brussen things # shift like the seasons # there is no pleasing...# and forget italian or german — the opera that's been written for a yorkshire accent. we get a preview before its premiere next month. and in the sport on bbc news... question marks build over the future of the leadership at the football association following yesterday's dcms hearing. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. it's now the world's fastest—growing

humanitarian crisis. thousands of rohingya muslims are continuing to flee violence in myanmar and they're finding themselves stranded on the border with bangladesh. they fled after facing a military offensive after claims that muslim militants were guilty of attacking police checkpoints in myanmar. so far nearly 600,000 rohingyas have crossed the border. some 15,000 have been stranded there with limited food and water. the large refugee camps on the border are overcrowded. clive myrie is in bangladesh — he has visited a new medical facility near the kutu—palong refugee camp. and a warning — his report contains some distressing images. i'm surrounded by babies, children under the age of two months, and they are all fighting for their lives. they are all severely, acutely malnourished. and many of them have travelled with their families from across the border in myanmar, escaping the military

there and the militias who have burnt them out of their homes, and they have ended up here. as you can imagine, it has been an arduous journey for them and they have picked up ailments, and the lack of food, the lack of water on that long trip has meant they have ended up being cared for in here. sadly, the doctors here have been telling me that several simply don't make it. 0nly yesterday, four actually died. with me is ian cross, one of the senior doctors here. he is actually a former gp from leicester. good to see you. thank you very much for allowing us in here. just tell us about some of the ailments that a lot of the children are suffering from here. the main ailments that we see are acute respiratory infections. bronchopneumonia, bronchiolitis, pneumonia. we see a lot of children who are very malnourished and when they get chest infections like this, they find it very difficult to fight off the infection. you have covered a lot of emergencies in your time. this must be one of the worst. this is one of the worst.

this is one of the worst i've been involved with, yes. it is shocking. i must admit, i was very moved by this when i first came. on my first day, four people died. that was really shocking to me. even though i am a hardened old doctor, it was difficult for me. and this is a crisis that has been going on for such a long time. just a couple of days ago, we saw 10—15,000 pour over the border. sure. you are going to get more and more people coming here with their children. yes, and we are trying our best to upgrade our facilities and our help posts to provide services for these people. msf has gone from a team of seven to a team of a0 in a matter of a couple of weeks. all of this must be heartbreaking for you to see. absolutely. absolutely terrible. you look around and... tears come to my eyes sometimes. it's dreadful. you just do what you can, you know? in a way, i am lucky that i am a doctor. i have my hands, my tools — i can help to make people better.

if i wasn't able to do that, i would feel so frustrated and i would feel even worse. but when you are hard at work, it... you can cope with it. i must say, the dedication of people like him in the hundreds of local staff in trying to deal with the severity of this crisis, it is quite incredible. the amount of work they are putting in. one of the important people trying to help the hundreds of thousands of people who have crossed the border, the emergency coordinator for this crossed the border, the emergency coordinatorfor this region, for the world food programme. thank you for joining us. we saw a little bit in the report, the problems of young children and malnutrition and as a result, getting access to food and water. for this whole crisis, how difficult is it for you getting the resources or of the people need? the

world food programme has been on the ground since day one trying to feed hungry people as they come across from myanmar. the situation isjust about as bad as you can imagine and ona about as bad as you can imagine and on a daily basis we are trying to reach people, children, women, to feed them their basic requirements. we have just launched an emergency operation, we need $77 million between now and february. we have already reached 580,000. we are providing basic life—saving food, rice, oil and lentils, providing basic life—saving food, rice, oiland lentils, high—energy biscuits, as they come across the border, and we are targeting the most vulnerable, the pregnant, breast—feeding women and children underfive breast—feeding women and children under five with programmes to try to improve their overall conditions. we have been caught in the last few minutes ina have been caught in the last few minutes in a massive thunderstorm. behind us, a lot of the little sort

of shacks and the tented areas, they are on mudflats, it is completely slippery and horrible, the water is dripping down. the logistics of dealing with the crisis, that must be horrific? it is hard work, definitely. we have taken the lead in the logistics area. the world food programme is one of the humanitarian organisations that excels in logistics, providing humanitarian support for our needs and the entire humanitarian response. we have had reports there isa response. we have had reports there is a load oppression in the bay of bengal and it could develop into a cyclone, the implication settings this site, it is almost too difficult to comprehend. —— the implications of it hitting this site. thank you. if you have spent weeks trekking from myanmar, fleeing persecution, to get here to bangladesh, at least here safety is something very important, despite

the dreadful conditions people are having to endure. back to you. thank you. eu leaders have gathered in brussels ahead of a summit this afternoon where they will discuss progress of the brexit negotiations. before leaving for the talks, the prime minister, theresa may, vowed to make it as easy as possible for eu citizens to remain in the uk after brexit. but it's widely expected that the eu leaders will make it clear that they are not yet ready to open talks with britain about a post—brexit trade deal. mrs may is being urged by some in her party to issue an ultimatum and say that if trade talks don't begin soon, britain will settle for a no deal on brexit. this report from our europe correspondent, damian grammaticas. are you confident of progress today, prime minister? deal or no deal? at this stage, it is no deal. the jugular and the talks both making slow progress —— the jaguar.

gathering in brussels, the leaders from the eu's 27 other countries have made plain they are not satisfied with what the uk is proposing in the negotiations and their conditions have not been met. he said the conditions are clear, what conditions? about the rights of the citizens, preconditions also of... clear lines. the problem for theresa may is that whatever she tells the leaders over dinner, it is highly unlikely to unblock the talks and the reason for that, from the outset, the eu have set the conditions, the leaders say the uk must clear up the uncertainties caused by brexit before they will move caused by brexit before they will m ove o nto caused by brexit before they will move onto trade talks and what is on the table so far simply isn't good enough. mrs may will have a few minutes over dinner tonight to persuade the leaders otherwise. but after five rounds of negotiations,

they have stalled. the eu controls they have stalled. the eu controls the pace and sequence here. the prime minister's speech in florence lifted the tone, but the eu says the uk has not provided solutions to the problems caused by brexit. this summit is likely to say, on the issue of citizens rights, the uk must provide legal certainty, including a role for the european court ofjustice. 0n ireland, the uk needs to present and commit to flexible and imaginative solutions. 0n the financial settlement, the uk must make a firm and concrete commitment to settle all its obligations. mrs may has already had one dinner in brussels on monday. she is under pressure from some at home to walk away from the talks. also in brussels today, saying no deal would be a disasterfor the uk, jeremy corbyn. the prime minister seems to have managed to upsetjust about everybody and have a warring cabinet around her. it is up to her

to get the negotiations back on track. we cannot countenance the idea we rush headlong into no deal with europe. it all means this summit on the eu leaders will not approve a move to a trade talks and it will not happen until the issues on the table are resolved. the summit gets under way in the next hour. the prime minister arrived a short time ago and was met with a barrage of questions. this is what she said. i set out a few weeks ago in florence is a very bold and ambitious agenda and vision for our future partnership between the eu and the uk. at the heart of that remains cooperation on the key issues and dealing with the shared challenges we face. that speech in florence set out the ambitious pollution and i look forward to us being able to progress that in the weeks ahead. —— the ambitious vision. we will talk about a variety

ofi vision. we will talk about a variety of i have set out the uk's vision andi of i have set out the uk's vision and i look forward to discussing that but also that other key issues, migration, defence, security, counter terrorism. the uk wants to play a full role cooperating with the eu. 0ur reality check correspondent, chris morris, is here to look at what the sticking points are and what is needed for a breakthrough. after five rounds of brexit negotiations, the eu has decided that sufficient progress has not yet been made. eu leaders are set to confirm that tomorrow, friday. there are several things to be resolved. but, basically, at the moment, it all comes down to money. in her speech in florence, theresa may pledged to pay up to £18 billion into the eu budget in 2019 and 2020, to ensure that other countries aren't out of pocket. she also said the uk would honour commitments it has made as a member state. but eu negotiators — urged on by all the other member states —

want to know what that means in practice. looming large in the background is something called the reste a liquider — eu money that has already been committed to projects in the long—term budget but has not yet been spent. it currently adds up to an eye—watering £213 billion which could mean a uk share of more than 26 billion. much of it is due to be spent on big infrastructure or development projects that have been delayed. there are also pensions and contingent liabilities such as loans to other countries to consider. now, the eu isn't asking for a final figure to be publicly agreed — it understands the political sensitivities in the uk. but it does want some sort of guarantee, probably in writing, as part of the brexit negotiations led by these two, that honouring commitments means all commitments. the uk position, on the other hand, is that the prime minister made a substantial gesture in her florence speech and it is in no position to move

further unless it gets something in return. this is what david davis told the house of commons this week... so it sounds like deadlock, but that's not necessarily the case. three more rounds of negotiation have been suggested between this week's summit and another one in december. the hope is that a way will be found to move forward, although it could well take a moment of crisis to get there. 0ur assistant political editor, norman smith, is in westminster. pressure on the pm, on all sides, just keeps growing. ido i do not know what they are serving the dinner, but you get the sense mrs may is turning into a jam sandwich. 0n mrs may is turning into a jam sandwich. on one side, the eu demanding cash on the table, and

brexiteers at westminster saying this is may should say, we talk trade or i am out of here. we will go on to the world trade 0rganisation terms. you sent the brexiteers are trying to ratchet up the pressure on mrs may and there is a real push now by the brexiteers, as one put it to me, to detoxify the issue of no deal. they take the view there is a consensus almost in business and much of the media and parliament that no deal would be a catastrophe, a cliff edge we would fall off. they say, no, no deal, business would know what we were trying to do, clarity, it would enable us to strike trade deals elsewhere. we would not spend the next 18 months bogged down in what they view as the fruitless negotiations. there is a real

pressure on mrs may over no deal. even though she has insisted she does still want to get an agreement with the eu. norman smith in westminster, thank you. there's been a largejump in the number of crimes recorded by police in england and wales. the latest figures show recorded crimes rose thirteen per cent in the twelve months to the end ofjune. 0ur correspondent danny shaw is here. a big rise in violent crime? violent crime is up across almost every category of crime the police have recorded, there have been increases. 0verall, have recorded, there have been increases. overall, the number of offences recorded by police in the 12 months to the end ofjune was more than 5 million. 5.2 million offences, the first time its past 5 million barrierfor ten offences, the first time its past 5 million barrier for ten years. offences, the first time its past 5 million barrierfor ten years. when you look at violent crime, guess, thatis you look at violent crime, guess, that is up by almost one fifth, by 19%. violent crime up including offences of knife crime, up significantly, firearms offences up as well. in terms of murder and

manslaughter, what we are seeing here is the number is also going up. 629 cases of murder and manslaughter in the last 12 months. that's 46 more than the previous 12 months, if you exclude the terror attacks and the cases in the hillsborough disaster, which were included last year. now some of these increases are due to improvements in the way that police record offences. there's no doubt about that. police were under recording crime significantly several years ago. but there's also a genuine increase, particularly in the most serious cases of violence, a real increase, and that is troubling the experts. they are not sure why that is. is it to do with more cases of domestic violence? is it to do with cuts in policing, cuts in public services? no one really knows the answer to find out. thank you. sir tom jones has become the latest celebrity to speak out following the sex scandal in hollywood involving

harvey weinstein. he said that sort of behaviour happens in the music industry with both men and women. he said, at the start of his career, he was propositioned by a man — an experience that left him feeling "terrible". colin paterson reports. for more than 50 years, sir tom jones has played up his reputation as a sex symbol. but in an interview for 5live's afternoon edition on the red carpet at the series launch of the voice, he revealed a man in the music industry tried to take advantage of him at the start of his career in the early 1960s. in the beginning, yes, there were a few things like that. but you avoid it. what's tried on women is tried on men as well. he did tell other people about the proposition at the time and the incident was never repeated. it was only once, really. how did it make you feel? terrible. then you think, i've got to get away from this person. it can't be like this. sir tom jones had been giving his reaction to recent allegations and revelations

surrounding the us film industry and said, to him, it was an all too familiar story. there's always been that element there that people with power sometimes abuse it. that's what the actress tippi hedren says. she starred in the birds and marnie, both directed by alfred hitchcock. speaking in a new interview with the bbc, she claims that the director offered to advance her career if she was willing to sleep with him. i was really angry that he would have pulled that on me. it was so unnecessary. and just so degrading. the entire film crew knew what he was trying to do. they knew i was just in a day—to—day battle just staying out of his way. this story continues to widen its scope. since the original allegations against harvey weinstein, more

than a0 women have come forward. there are ongoing police investigations on both sides of the atlantic. now, with sir tom jones' comments, attention may turn to the music industry. colin paterson, bbc news. our top story this lunchtime... the prime minister is in brussels hoping for a breakthrough in the brexit negotations as an eu summit gets under way. and coming up — it's 30 years since the financial world was rocked by black monday, when billions were wiped off share prices. coming up in sport... chelsea manager antonio conte tells the club's former boss, jose mourinho, to take a look at himself, after the now manchester united manager criticised him for complaining about injuries. the constitutional crisis in spain is deepening, with madrid now declaring it

will impose direct rule on catalonia. ministers will meet on saturday to activate an article of the constitution, which allows them to take control of the province. earlier this month catalans voted overwhelmingly to leave spain in a disputed referendum. 0ur correspondent caroline hawley has the latest. side—by—side, the flags of spain and catalonia. but this now is an extraordinarily fraught moment between madrid and barcelona. in the black car, the man at the centre of this crisis. the catalan leader had given until this morning to clearly drop his bid for independence or face the imposition of direct rule from madrid. that had been seen as the nuclear option but, this morning, it's what the spanish prime minister announced, an unprecedented move not seen during spain's four decades of democracy. translation: with the absence of a response to the precise and clear terms, the government understands there has not been a reply to its requirements.

as a result, the government will continue with procedures outlined in article 155 of the constitution with the objective of restoring legality to catalonia. the catalan president had responded with a letter in which he said the independence declaration he made last week remains suspended. but he said if central government refused dialogue, then the catalonian parliament could vote to ratify independence. the crisis began with an independence referendum that spain said was illegal and tried to stop. spanish police stepped in to prevent people voting. the question for catalonia is what will happen next. spanish ministers are due to meet on saturday to approve plans to exec zero control over the self—governing region including over the regional police, seen here arguing with spanish police. tensions are running high across catalonia, with fears that spain's biggest political

crisis in a0 years could lead to further unrest. caroline hawley, bbc news. there are serious doubts over whether football association bosses are fit to stay on after being grilled in parliament yesterday. the fa chairman greg clarke and the chief executive martin glenn were answering questions after discrimination claims were made against the former england boss mark sampson. 0ur sports correspondent richard conway reports. accusations of a cover—up, claims of failure to support a victim of racism. evidence labelled as shambolic. the fa is dealing with another self—made crisis, one that some feel could cost official their jobs. what was really disappointing was that the people who were directly involved in that process, the chief executive, the hate shaft head —— head of hr, they will not prepared to apologise for their failure looks for the ways this was investigated and that raises questions about whether they are the right people to take the organisation forward. eniola aluko says she feels vindicated after

receiving an fa apology. it was judged she was the victim of racist remarks from herformer judged she was the victim of racist remarks from her former england manager. but the sa's processes and its power structure is under increasing scrutiny, given the way it handled the claims. time and again we see a failure to address issues, a failure to address serious, serious allegations. if you analyse what's happened here, it fits the definition of the institutional discrimination to eight t, i'm afraid. ahead of the players‘ union, whose actions and salary was called into question by the fa chairman, is sceptical over whether players can trust the governing body. this was a leading player and if they are going to treat a leading player like that, what does it say for how anybody else is going to be treated? from that point of view it‘s almost a dereliction of duty. former players hope some good can come from what has now been a lengthy saga. we don‘t want this to happen to somebody else. this wasn‘t about me or eniola, it was about finding the

truth and realising if you have a grievance you can bring it forward and you are not going to get ostracised from the team. it's understood the government remains concerned about the sa‘s handling of this case, but for now an organisation always keen to talk up its successes is left to reflect on its successes is left to reflect on its costly mistakes —— the fa‘s handling of this case. black monday — the biggest single—day stock market collapse in history — was 30 years ago today. the crash began in far eastern markets on the morning of the 19th of october ,1987, and accelerated as the day continued. by the end of the day it had wiped billions off global markets. simon gompertz looks back at a day that shook the global finance industry. it was a shattering day. exactly three decades ago, months of rising share prices gave way to a sudden crisis of confidence. is itjust blind panic? there comes a time in all marketplaces where psychology overtakes fundamentals. the great storm had flattened woodland across the south.

there was genuine fear, a feeling of financial apocalypse. as new york woke up later that day london time, the financial storm spread across the atlantic. these were the biggest share price falls ever seen, prompting the president to try to calm things down. i don‘t think anyone should panic. all the economic indicators are solid. this was in a slow—moving analogue age of landlines, paper everywhere, typewriters, clunky calculators. but it was also a wake—up call to the tech age. computer trading kicked in as people tried to cover their losses and sell shares. on black monday itself, the market fell by 11%. but that was superseded by the next day, tuesday 20th october, a further 12% fall in share prices. i was up there in this new brokerage firm we‘d founded. we were very nervous.

justin erquhart stewart is a veteran stockbroker who experienced the full blast of the storm of 1987. is it about to happen again? it‘s one of those moments where this could snap because of what, we don‘t know anything. you‘ve had rockets being fired. that didn‘t impact. brexit hasn‘t had an impact yet. is it possible interest rates rising, as they are in the states, and may start to rise here as well. # you win again...#. the bee gees were number one for black monday. the comforting thing is markets did win again. share prices were back up within a couple of years. from la boheme to the magic flute, some of the most beautiful operas ever written are traditionally performed in italian, french or german. but now there‘s a new work that‘s about to be premiered, and it‘s being sung in english — with a yorkshire accent. it‘s called the arsonists and it‘s

opening next month in salford. 0ur arts correspondent david sillito has been listening in. # let us all increase our productivity # let ourfingers be worked to the bone. # the arsonists, chamber opera to be sung in a south yorkshire accent. you are witnessing history here. this is heritage opera and this is the first—ever performance of their new opera written specifically to capture the natural musical beauty of the vocal cadences of south yorkshire. applause oh, dear me! oh, so good! that‘s brilliant! have they got it? i think they have, they certainly have, yeah. is it south yorkshire, that? i think it is, i think the south yorkshire thing is the flatness of the vowels.

that‘s what we‘re after, the real flat vowel, and that was the genesis of this idea — can you sing an opera with a flat vowel? # you must be stupid # you need to get away, you need to get away # get away # and there is a point to this. drama portrays the full range of accents. that doesn‘t happen at all in opera and i think it could be perceived as being one of the barriers, one of the problems that opera is having, communicating with a wider audience. and this experiment has also revealed something unexpected. the unique sound of god‘s own county is a bit more mediterranean than you might imagine. let us all increase our productivity. let ourfingers be worked to the bone. so all the "t" sounds and the "company" sounds, really short ends. yes, absolutely. is that difficult for singing then? no, it‘s better. there‘s not so much of a diphthong on the end there. in that way, it‘s a bit closer to the italian.

yorkshire is closer to italian? in that way. fantastic. and, to end, i set them a little challenge. could you do this — verdi‘s la donna e mobile — in a barnsley style? # lasses are brussen things, shift like the seasons...# i think we‘re onto a winner. we just need that top note now. he hits top note applause david sillito, bbc news, salford. time for a look at the weather. here‘s darren bett.
