dominic raab says he's confident in a deal to use the european union can be reached by mid—0ctober. the deadline set by the other 27 member states. but he says it is right for the government to step up preparations over the summer for the possibility that no agreement is reached. the former conservative prime minister sirjohn major warned that a no—deal brexit could result in dire economic consequences for those he will said who could least afford it. here is our political correspondent chris mason. laughter .it correspondent chris mason. laughter . it sounded like they all agreed, but at the cabinet meeting last week some around the table were still unsure about the prime minister's plan for brexit. it is according to the new brexit secretary. sounding confident a deal can be done with brussels. i'm striving everything you with our department, with michel barnier, who i think is
6:34 pm
a man who wants to do a deal with us, tremendous a man who wants to do a deal with us, tremendous pressures on a man who wants to do a deal with us, tremendous pressures on his site to get the best deal. but we've got to, ithink to get the best deal. but we've got to, i think it's the only responsible thing to do, to be prepared if those negotiations, the energy, the ambition and the pragmatism that we have shown are not reciprocated. with the energy that we are going to bring to these negotiations, the ambition and the pragmatism, we get a deal done in 0ctober. pragmatism, we get a deal done in october. labour leaderjeremy do so michael bent spent the day at a festival ofjeremy corbyn. he is frustrated by what he sees as government by the ring. they should be in government by the ring. they should beina government by the ring. they should be in a better position to know what kind of arrangements we should have in the future. i get the feeling that the tail is wagging the dog in the tory party. those that want no deal seemed to be ruling the roost and they are pushing for that. no deal would be a very, very bad situation. if the arguments about the uk and the eu sound just a cat familiar... this man was furious
6:35 pm
with conservative eurosceptics a quarter of a century ago, and he still is. if we crash out without a deal, the people who have the least are going to be hurt most. it would bea are going to be hurt most. it would be a terrible betrayal of the interest of everyday people, who really are not political. sirjohn cited a government forecasts suggesting the north—east of england, which endorsed brexit, would take the biggest economic hit in the uk if there is no deal struck with the eu. he also said another referendum would be morally justified. so, to people in middlesbrough agree? probably reconsider another referendum due to the fact that there might not want to leave, because quite a lot of jobs would be lost. i think basically what we should do is get i'io basically what we should do is get no agreement on brexit and just walk away. a new referendum just means that there is an opportunity for it to go back to how it was, and i think we can do with change. much to the goverment‘s relief, mps finish here in summer on tuesday. but then

the prime minister and her senior tea m the prime minister and her senior team will fan out around europe, trying to sell her vision of brexit. chris mason, bbc news, westminster. israel has interevened to help more than 100 members of the volunteer syrian civil defence force, known as the white helmets, escape an offensive by government forces in southern syria. they're now safe injordan, along with 300 members of their familes. britain, along with france and canada, requested israel's help over concerns the volunteers might be detained by the syrian army. the white helmets mainly work in rebel—held areas, rescuing civilians from air attacks. here's mark lowen. rescuing the rescuers. syrian civil defence volunteers and their families evacuated into jordan, and to safety. these pictures filmed by the israeli army show its troops escorting the white helmets from the syrian border, escaping assad regime and russian forces. israel's prime minister said it was an urgent international operation. translation: the lives of these people, who have saved lives, were now in danger.
6:37 pm
i therefore authorised the transfer, via israel, to other countries as an important humanitarian gesture. they will now be resettled in britain, canada and germany. the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, called the white helmets "the bravest of the brave", adding, "in a desperate situation, this is at least one ray of hope." in the hell of syria's war, the white helmets have often been first on the scene, pulling victims from the rubble of air strikes, administering first aid when hospitals are bombed. nominated for the nobel peace prize, the volunteers say they have saved over 115,000 lives. 260 white helmets have been killed, some targeted by a second air strike as they moved in. but president assad calls them jihadists. as syrian government and russian forces surround opposition areas of south—west syria, civilians and fighters have
6:38 pm
been bussed to rebel—held idlib in the north. but the regime refused to let the white helmets join them. as assad forces, backed by russian air power, close in on south—west syria, resistance is crumbling. and the medical lifeline of the white helmets has been cut. mark lowen, bbc news. police in worcester have released cctv images of three men they want to question after a three—year—old boy was seriously injured in a suspected acid attack. officers say he was deliberately targetted. a 39—year—old man from wolverhampton has been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit grievous bodily harm. 0livia crellin reports. a shocking attack in a quintessential english city. yesterday, was to was the scene of a suspected acid attack on a three—year—old child at a busy retail park. it left residents shaken. it's just retail park. it left residents shaken. it'sjust really disgraceful
6:39 pm
if anything like that happens, especially if it's happening to children. police have released these images, but more than 2a and was later, they still don't know the motive for the attack or the exact substance used. the attack was dangerous enough to hospital is beyond boy, who is being treated but so beyond boy, who is being treated but so much for serious burns to his arm and face. at the moment, we are uncertain as to what the long—term implications are, but it is pleasing he has been released from hospital 110w. he has been released from hospital now. relief for the family. but even in this quiet city, the threat of acid attacks lingers. three members of the anti—corruption unit at the metropolitan police are being investigated over claims they covered up or failed to properly pursue allegations of wrong—doing by other officers. well, our home affairs correspondent, tom symonds, is at scotland yard for us. tom, what is the background to these investigations? well, clive, this is about the directorate of
6:40 pm
professional standards, the bit of the match which investigates when it's on police officers either break the law or break the force's rules. now, the police watchdog, the are you pc, says that individual officers within that directorate may be guilty of serious corruption or malpractice. this is about the allegation that those officers may have interfered with or prevented investigations into met officers. and, so far, three middle ranking officers with in the directorate are told that they face investigation, and the are you pc is looking at the cases of another dozen or so. it is a highly controversial announcement, a highly controversial announcement, a highly controversial thing for the ipc to say. the met has had a long history of dealing with corruption within the force. in the 70s, 80s and 90s, it was about corrupt links between criminals and the police. now it seems to be about potentially corrupt links between police and other police officers. tom symonds
6:41 pm
at news got a job, thank you. —— at new scotland yard. a woman who lost nine members of her family when a tourist boat sank on a lake in the american state of missour has been describing what happened. in all, 17 people died when the duck boat capsized during a thunder storm on table rock lake on thursday. caroline davies reports. out of her hospital bed, in public for the first time. last week, tia coleman was on a pleasure cruise with her family when the duck boat she was on started to sink. when that water came over the boat, i didn't know what was happening. i had my son right next to me. but when the water filled up the boat, i could no longer see. and i just remember kicking and swimming, swimming up to the top. and as i was swimming ing. isaid, "lord, please let me get to my babies, i've got to get to my babies". i've got to get my babies. tia was rescued, but 17 people didn't survive, including her husband, three children and five other relatives.
6:42 pm
the boat has life jackets, but tia says the family didn't wear them because she was told they wouldn't need them. if i was able to get a life jacket, i could have saved my babies. because they could have at least floated up to the top and somebody could have grabbed them. and i wasn't able to do that. under missouri law, passengers over the age of seven aren't required to wear life jackets. there was a weather warning before the boat set out, but the owner of the tour boat company said he'd been told by employees that the storm had come out of nowhere. something happened, and we don't know exactly what it was. but it doesn't matter. any time people suffer a loss like that, it can't be replaced. i mean, it's absolutely devastating. the community here have each other to lean on. when tia goes home to indiana, it'll be without her family.
6:43 pm
since i've had a home, it's always been filled with little feet and laughter. caroline davies, bbc news. millions of virgin media customers have been unable to watch some of their favourite tv channels today because of a row between virgin and the broadcaster uktv. popular stations like dave and gold are among all ten of uktv‘s channels that have been cut in a battle over fees. here's our business correspondent, joe lynam. 90% of all foreign tourists come from abroad, so we've got to speak their lingo, ain't we? we?! french, i like it! already you're picking up the lingo! they host reruns of some of britain's favourite tv shows, including only fools and horses, the good life, and miranda. but for millions of uk tv viewers on virgin media, this is what greeted them today.
6:44 pm
that's because these ten channels, including dave, alibi and gold, have been pulled entirely from the virgin platform — and with them, a host of the country's favourite tv shows. simonjones in winchester is very disappointed. he loves watching dave. i'm frustrated that i renewed my contract two—and—a—bit weeks ago, and virgin mentioned nothing about this. so, i'm frustrated. there's a lot of content that i watch. particularly dave and alibi, all the original programming. uktv is a joint venture between the bbc and discovery from the us, with channels that include dave and gold. they own the rights to broadcast bbc tv shows such as fawlty towers, only fools and horses, and miranda. but virgin has cut the price it will pay, and so uktv has switched off the signal entirely. virgin media have offered us significantly less money for our services. and the reality is, that money is so important to us because it allows us to invest in the channels and in the programmes that our viewers love,
6:45 pm
and we're not willing to jeopardise that in any way. but virgin sees it differently. it says uktv refuses to allow viewers to watch box sets of old bbc shows all in one go. we would like uktv to provide us with the box sets of fawlty towers or only fools and horses, the very same box sets at the bbc provides to netflix. so, we want our customers to have the same access to modern, on—demand television. we are selling public water to the public! for every day that channels such as dave and gold are absent from virgin media, both sides will be losing money. in the meantime, viewers are missing out. joe lynam, bbc news. a new picture of a smiling prince george has been released on this, his fifth birthday. william and kate's oldest child was photographed in the garden of clarence house after the christening of his brother, louis, earlier this month. now, with all the sports news, here's 0lly foster
6:46 pm
at the bbc sport centre. hi there. it has been an incredible final round at this year's open championship. tiger woods briefly topped the leaderboard, but with just a few holes left to play, the claret jug could be heading to italy. katherine downes is at the course. seven out of the top ten, pick your winner! tiger, the name on everyone's lips, in sunday read them out to complete his comeback with a 15th major win. a birdie at the fourth moved him up the leaderboard. while other contenders were struggling. rory mcilroy, not the start he wanted. kevin kisner, the man whose lead since day one, got stuck in the sand. evenjordan spieth, the defending champion and joint leader, in a bit of a prickle.
6:47 pm
italy's francesco molinari, though, is ticking along, sticking to par, could slow and steady wins the race? and justin rose is back in bloom, an eagle on the 14th to revive his chances. speaking of eagles, how's this? don't write rory offjust yet. well, rory‘s chances are gone, and those ofjustin well, rory‘s chances are gone, and those of justin rose, well, rory‘s chances are gone, and those ofjustin rose, because in the last few minutes, francesco molinari birdied the 18th, hold the putt to finish an 8—under par. xander schauffele, the american golfer, the only player out there now who can catch him. but he needs an eagle on the last, nyom impossible in one of the last, nyom impossible in one of the toughest holes in golf, and in this wind, too —— nylon impossible. it looks like francesco molinari will be the open champion this year. studio: it does indeed, thank you,
6:48 pm
katherine downes. lewis hamilton started from 14th on the grid at the german grand prix but stormed to the chequered flag at hockenheim. he still had to sweat on the victory, with stewards taking exception to a pit lane manoeuvre, but with sebastian vettel crashing in his ferarri, hamilton is back on top of the formula one drivers' championship. nick parrott reports. to bea to be a world champion, unique ability, but also luck. lewis hamilton might have thought his was running out. misfortune left him a0 on the grid at hockenheim, whilst championship leader sebastian vettel roared off the line, leading from pole. the britain fought his way through the field, climbing the fifth before halfway. further progress looks unlikely, until a storm arrived, shaking up the race, and the championship. vettel was the biggest casualty. his pride clearly hurt. sorry, guys. that handed his ferrari team—mate kimi raikkonen the lead, until he stopped for wet
6:49 pm
weather tyres. hamilton stayed out at the last moment to move in front, but crossing the pit lane blind lead the way telling off from the stewards after he claimed the chequered flag for a fourth time this season. a late twist on a date when his championship hopes were expected to take a battering, but he has managed to get back on top. nick pa rrett, has managed to get back on top. nick parrett, bbc news. on the last day of the anniversary games, greg rutherford said goodbye to the london stadium, scene of his greatest triumph — that long jump gold at the 2012 olympics. he could only finish tenth today, but he received a great reception ahead of his expected retirement at the end of the season great britain's geraint thomas is still in the leader's yellow jersey going into the last week of the tour de france. denmark's magnus cort won today's 15th stage that ended in carcassone. tomorrow is a rest day before the tour heads to the pyrenees. thomas leads his teamate chris froome by over a minute and a half. and that's all the sport. many thanks, olly foster. that's it. i'll be back with the late news at 10pm. now on bbc one, it's time

for the news where you are. bye for now. five mps are calling for a consultation on whether to ban that all changed when akira realised he was awake and alert. best—selling author and long—range wheelchair racer and now about to be a father. his incredible story. this is martin pistorius. he was born in 1975 and grew up in south africa. as a child growing upi grew up in south africa. as a child growing up i was perhaps a little quieter than most, but happy. always busy with something and healthy. around age 12, he fell ill.|j busy with something and healthy.
6:51 pm
around age 12, he fell ill. i came home from school with what seemed like a cold. within months i was an empty shell of the vibrant little boy i once was. the next four years we re boy i once was. the next four years were blank. but then, aged 16, his mind woke up. but not his body. no one knew he was awake. being unable to communicate was the worst. most terrifying feeling ever. i was utterly powerless. i kept my mind busy by escaping into my imagination. living in my mind was the only way i was able to cope and distract ourselves from my dire reality. i often wished i could tell people i was in pain or reassure my mum that she was a good mother, and to simply tell people that i love to them. nine years later, a qera began to realise martin was cautious. —— a qera. my family were overjoyed when after the assessment it became clear that i was still in there and had the potential to communicate. that i was still in there and had the potentialto communicate. he that i was still in there and had the potential to communicate. he was given a computer to communicate and
6:52 pm
began to regain the use of his upper body. i found readjusting to life really difficult. it was absolutely wonderful. it also scary and very daunting. there was so much i didn't know. and here he is today. he is a wheelchair racer. he's written an autobiography, he has a degree and in 2009, married joanna. and then... in april we found out we were having a baby. we were both very surprised. perhaps a little shocked. and very excited. i think the most difficult thing about fatherhood for me will be finding effective ways to communicate with a baby. i have experienced extreme loneliness, but it taught me to be comfortable with my own company. i think it is easy to ta ke my own company. i think it is easy to take communicating for granted. everyone says actions are more powerful than words. but i wonder,
6:53 pm
communication is one of our most powerful tools. and is it not our words that lead to action? bbc news. hello there. i think you would agree with me it's been a pretty remarkable summer for heat and dry weather. things couldn't get any hotter. it looks like this up coming week potentially being the hottest speu week potentially being the hottest spell of the year so far. but not for everyone. the further north and west of you are across the uk, the cloudier and breezy here. and the sequel it will be with some rain at times. when i say cool, not quite as hot as what we're going to see from the south and east. here it is going to be pretty uncomfortable from heat and humidity, both by day and by night. there will be plenty of sunny spells around. it looks like it will stay largely dry behind the odd shower of thunderstorms. there is the breeze. if we are looking at the pressure chart, it is low pressure towards the northwest of the uk with weather fronts bringing cloudier and breezy or conditions from the north and west of the uk, further south
6:54 pm
and west of the uk, further south and closer to the area of high pressure over the near continent. again, it is going to be the northwest, southeast to split. more cloud across this northwest, particularly southern scotland and more of the island. maybe some patchy rain here. it will be worn again and east of scotland with some shelter, but by far highest temperatures on monday afternoon will be england and wales with the 27-30dc will be england and wales with the 27—30dc somewhere in the southeast. if you head into words tuesday it is a similar picture, tangle of whether from across the north and west of the uk. end up fizzling out this afternoon. there could bejust the uk. end up fizzling out this afternoon. there could be just the odd shower of their central parts of the uk, maybe the enfant terrible. it little be dry and bright across scotla nd it little be dry and bright across scotland and northern ireland, but again across much of england and wales, temperatures in the low 30s celsius and the hottest spot. similar picture on thursday. maybe the threat of an afternoon shower of thunderstorms set off in the heat and humidity into the afternoon, temperatures once again reach 30-33dc in the
6:55 pm
temperatures once again reach 30—33dc in the southeast. closer to be high teens and low 20 celsius in the north and the west. now we start to look to the atlantic for perhaps a change for thursday onwards. this area of low pressure ventures a change for thursday onwards. this area of low pressure ventures ever area of low pressure ventures ever closer. it is a bit more off to it by the time you reach thursday. more ofa by the time you reach thursday. more of a breeze. outbreaks of rain to northern ireland, much of scotland and perhaps part of england in towards the wales. some could be site sundre. ahead of it is another hot in temperatures raising from 27-31 hot in temperatures raising from 27—31 or hot in temperatures raising from 27-31 or 32 hot in temperatures raising from 27—31 or 32 degrees. on thursday the area of low pressure pushes a bit further eastwards. we will see further eastwards. we will see further outbreaks of rain across many northern and western areas, big again ahead of it was the very hot and humid air. by friday, we are looking at probably a fifth day of temperatures reaching around 30-32dc. so it is temperatures reaching around 30—32dc. so it is going to be a very prolonged hawksbill for many eastern areas. further west, something a little bit cooler starting to push him. as these weather fronts a
6:56 pm
slowly make inroads and spread the way eastwards, friday into saturday, you'll notice the blue colours here just beginning to feel their way in. it will feel cool and fresher. we will lose the humidity by the time we reach the start of next weekend. there will be some showers and quite a strong breeze across the northwest of the country, but elsewhere some good spells of sunshine. it might be far southeast still holds onto someone. temperatures into the upper 20 celsius. further west, someone. temperatures into the upper 20 celsius. furtherwest, closerto the seasonal morn. it does look like for the head, it will be quite as thatis for the head, it will be quite as that is what we will see for the next four or five days. there will be few showers around and some spells of sunshine. then the signs of the drying up and becoming warmer again. this is bbc news i'm nicholas. the headlines at 7. the brexit secretary says he's confident the uk won't crash out of the eu without a deal. dominic raab says he believes an agreement is possible within months, if brussels shows ambition. if it's reciprocated, the energy that we're going to bring to these negotiations, the ambition and pragmatism, we get
