this is bbc news. the headlines: theresa may holds talks with emmanuel macron as the bank of england governor mark carney issues a stark warning about brexit. the possibility of a no deal is uncomfortably high at this point. zimbabwe's president emmerson mnangagwa calls for peace and unity, as riot police try to break up an opposition news conference. labour leaderjeremy corbyn says driving anti—semitism out of the party for good is his priority. the sister of a young midwife who's been missing for a week makes a heartfelt plea. she is mired best friend and partner in crime. without her, half of me is gone. also coming up this hour, forecasters say the all—time temperature record for continental europe could be broken in the coming days. much of europe continues

to sizzle in a heatwave, with temperatures in spain and portugal in the forties. and at 11:30 we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, martin bentham from the london evening standard and benedicte paviot from france 24. stay with us for that. theresa may's attempts to sell her plans for the uk's departure from the european union have taken her to france, and she's been holding talks with president macron. a succession of ministers have travelled across the continent in recent days, for discussions, with their european counterparts. meanwhile the governor of the bank of england has intervened in the brexit debate, warning that the chance of no

agreement with brussels, was "uncomfortably high." but mark carney‘s comments have been criticised by some brexiteers who say he's engaging in project fear all over again. our business editor simonjack reports. wish you were here. this is no holiday. government ministers are touring the scorching capitals of europe hoping to persuade leaders to get behind its proposed deal with the eu. are the prime minister even cut short her own holiday to join the french president on his. meanwhile, the governor of the bank of england cranked up the temperature at home with this strongly worded warning. the possibility of a no deal is uncomfortably high at this point. it does mean potential disruption. certainly it does mean disruption to trade as we know it and as a consequence of that, a disruption to a level of economic activity changes higher prices for a period of time. the governor of the bank of england

does not say anything by mistake. he knows his every utterance is carefully scrutinised. so this was a very deliberate intervention at a crucial moment for a governor who thinks it is hisjob to highlight risks to the financial system, a governor that others think is too political by half. the bank manager, the canadian bank manager who won't be here in a while or so, has told us that everything is going to be terrible and the end of the world. well, he said that before, but the british people have said, no, we are coming out of the european union. and i'm afraid people like the manager of the bank of england has got to accept it. but the boss of rbs said today the uncertainty of how we leave is affecting the value and prospects of the bank still largely owned by the taxpayer. so we are preparing this bank for a very slow time in 2019. no matter what happens through brexit, we are able to look

after our customer base. it does bear down on the share price. so there is a brexit discount on uk—focused stocks? there definitely is. i mean, any uncertainty brings some sort of discount. the bank of england may be sweating over the brexit outcome, but the governor also today offered this reassurance. the financial system will be ready for that undesirable and still unlikely possibility. the financial system will be ready. ready, but hardly winning. —— willing. tonight the french president, emmanuel macron, is entertaining a guest on a mission. not the holiday either would have hoped for. simon jack, bbc news. our europe correspondent adam fleming is in le lavandou, near to where the the two leaders have been meeting. we know absolutely nothing about how this meeting has gone tonight beyond what the two leaders had for their

five course dinner. now, that doesn't mean it was a triumph or a disaster, just that this is part of a very long process that will end in a very long process that will end in a couple of months with a political declaration by both the eu and the uk about the shape of their future relationship in the years and decades after brexit. theresa may hopes that political declaration looks quite like the white paper her government published last month, so she is a nato to make sure her fellow leaders understand every dot and, of that white paper and do not misinterpreted. —— dot and,. she faces a futurologist, not least the fa ct faces a futurologist, not least the fact that the 27 remaining leaders from the eu negotiators won, so she has to win over more than a couple of them. second of all, michel barnier, the chief negotiator for the eu, has already identified a few areas of british blueprints that conflict with the eu's redlines. and brussels always wants —— also wants

theresa may to focus on the still unresolved issues to do with the divorce, the departure and the northern irish border. so she still has plenty of work to do and i suspect there will be many more five course dinners and glamorous locations. the opposition in zimbabwe says it won't accept what it calls the "fake" results of the country's general election. emmerson mnangagwa, of the ruling zanu—pf party, was elected president by a narrow margin and today called on zimbabweans to come together in peace and unity. but the defeated candidate nelson chamisa claims he can prove the process was rigged, saying there's been a "coup against the people's will." our africa editor fergal keane reports from the capital harare. "open for business". the newly elected president's voice, as the the police order people back to work. this a day after the army pushed them home. who really runs this country and what kind of zimbabwe is it becoming? questions on the morning after victory. we were there in the early hours of the morning when the result

was finally declared after days of waiting. emmerson mnangagwa of the zanu—pf party is duly declared elected president of the republic of zimbabwe with respect from the 3rd of august 2018. cheering. there you have it, quarter to one in the morning. the news that emmerson mnangagwa becomes the president of zimbabwe after this highly contested, volatile election. the slenderest of majorities amid claims of rigging, but it is enough for these party loyalists. this is a story of parallel politics. for elsewhere in the city there was terror, soldiers beat civilians in several opposition strongholds. this man told us how they had attacked around 50 people at a bar. "we were just beaten and i don't know why," he says. "i lost consciousness,

they beat men and women with rifle buts and whips". he showed us the bruises on his body. as these reports were emerging, a public relations disaster for the government. riot police arrived at a hotel where journalists had gathered to hear the opposition leader. they were pushed out. isn't this a democracy, i asked? no luck, there. then, a government minister arrived. at first there were angry exchanges with mdc supporters. a senior zanu—pf figure has appeared. he is arguing with a member of the opposition, trying to get control of the situation. why did you come here? why did i come? yes. because i was told there was going to be a press conference. i'm saying, let's go ahead.

and so the opposition leader was able to appear, partly thanks to a minister's intervention. significantly, he called on his own supporters to disavow violence. we are a democratic organisation and we do not believe in violence. we do not believe in anarchy. we do not believe in the use of weapons of war. and within the hour, the president himself had decided to speak. no triumphalism. an appeal to his defeated opponent. to nelson chamisa, i want to say that you have a crucial role to play in its future. and in its unfolding future. i watched the press conference with his foreign minister, a keen ally of the president.

who is really in charge in this country? the president or the security people? in fact, that question, i can answer it when i am asleep. i know very clearly, it is president mnangagwa who is in charge. and very firm indeed. tonight zimbabwe must hope for a more tolerant politics. it is by no means guaranteed. alex magaisa was chief advisor to morgan tsvangirai, the former prime minister of zimbabwe and president of the mdc. he says the opposition has raised a lot of issues with the electoral process. the process itself was not fair and transparent. there were issues with the printing of valet papers, the voters roll, which was not delivered in time. there were many other issues raised by the opposition. media bias, all sorts. but crucially, the counting process. there was no reason for the apparent

delays or slowness in releasing the results of the presidential election, and there is also very clear difference between the voting at the parliamentary level and voting at the presidential level. those numbers have to tally. and also, the opposition has, in its position, what we call v11 phones which got from observers, used to demonstrate that the figures put forward by the zimbabwean electoral commission and the zanu—pf are not the authentic results. in fact, the results that were released by the zimbabwean electoral commission were not signed for by the representative of the opposition. emmerson mnangagwa has called for unity, has acknowledged the electoral commission, which has said that he is the legitimately elected president of the country. isn't there a danger that in challenging this there is going to be a further period of uncertainty and instability in zimbabwe? well, the

option to that is to accept something that people clearly do not agree with. so i think it is important that the opposition, and anybody, as the president himself has said, be given an opportunity to exhaust all the channels that are available for people to exercise their constitutional freedoms in order that the problem is clear then emmerson mnangagwa, if he is going to be declared the winner eventually, then he comes in with a clear mandate and a legitimate mandate, and i think that is important for zimbabwean order to move forward. four men who died in a car crash in bradford yesterday have been named by the police watchdog. the car they were travelling in was being chased by an unmarked police vehicle. 0ur correspondent ian white has the latest. it has been a number very sombre day here in bradford, where four men lost their lives yesterday following

a police pursuit in the early hours of the morning. today the police watchdog, the i/o pc, has released the names of the four men who died. -- iopc. all the names of the four men who died. —— iopc. all four men came from the local bradford area. just to remind you what happened, it was around about 5:30am yesterday in the heat and area of bradford when an unmarked police car spotted a vehicle travelling at speed. it was a bmw and the police pursuit for over a minute, a bmw and the police pursuit for overa minute, and a bmw and the police pursuit for over a minute, and that is when the accident happened. the bmw hit the tree which is behind me which has become a bit of a shrine to be four men, with family and friends laying flowers. there have also been prayers said at the scene here today. now, the iopc have said tonight that it is a very complex, fast moving investigation, and they have been supporting the families of the dead men, helping them come to terms with what is obviously a

terrible, terrible tragedy, and they have also been doing house—to—house enquiries in the local area here to see if anybody has cctv pictures which could give some clues as to exactly what happened. now, there has also been a little bit of criticism of the police, because it was set at one point that they thought the unmarked police car came into direct contact with the bmw. the investigation so far has shown that was very much not the case. so, a very fast moving investigation, and obviously things continue here and obviously things continue here and people continue to mourn the loss of four men. the youngest woman to be convicted of plotting a terror attack on british soil has beenjailed for life, with a minimum of 13 years. safaa boular was convicted of preparing acts of terrorism and attempting to travel to syria tojoin the so—called islamic state group. she was part of the uk's first all—female terror cell with her mother and sister, who were both jailed injune. the headlines on bbc news: theresa may holds brexit talks

with emmanuel macron, as bank of england governor mark carney tells the bbc preparations must be made for a no—deal with the eu. —— no deal brexit. zimbabwe's president emmerson mnangagwa calls for peace and unity, as riot police try to break up an opposition press conference. the names have been released of four men who died when their car crashed into a tree in bradford while being pursued by police. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, has addressed the controversy surrounding allegations of antisemitism in the party. in an article for the guardian, mr corbyn admitted labour had "a real problem", but said he was determined to "root out" antisemitism. tonight, one of his backbenchers, ian austin, warned the article would only make matters worse. 0ur political correspondent susana mendonsa is in westminster. jeremy called on trying once again

to try to quell this row. is this article going to succeed? well, i don't think it has had the desired result, really, becausei don't think it has had the desired result, really, because i think jeremy colbourne was hoping this would repair that damage that we have seen between the labour party and the jewish community. have seen between the labour party and thejewish community. has been a lot of criticism in terms of the tone that he said in this article. it was conciliatory, he talked about rooting out anti—semites and the party hadn't acted quickly enough in terms of dealing with people who had been investigated for anti—semitism within the party. but he rejected criticism that we saw from some jewish newspapers that he posed some kind of existential threat to jewish life in britain. he also didn't go far enough life in britain. he also didn't go farenough in life in britain. he also didn't go far enough in terms of the code of conduct. the code of conduct is the issue that i suppose has really revived concern among those in the

jewish community because the labour party did not take on the full international code of conduct on anti—semitism. so jeremy corbyn talked about that within this article, he referred to the consultation that is going on, but he didn't actually say that he was cut to take it onto the latter. that is something, had he done that, it might have silenced his critics but because he didn't do that we have had more criticism from people. you have heard from an mp, ian austin, being investigated by the party at the moment because of a row he said was a bout anti—semitism and his concerns over that code of conduct not been taken on to the latter. ian austin has basically said that, when you are in a hole you should stop digging and he feels like the labour leader has not dealt with this properly. we have heard from the campaignfor properly. we have heard from the campaign for anti—semitism, who had said that they feltjeremy colbourne had made things worse and they

described the contents of the article as vague and meaningless. with me now is barnaby raine who is a member of the labour party and a jewish supporter ofjeremy corbyn. as we heard there, this article does not seem to have achieved perhaps whatjeremy corbyn might have hoped, which is to calm this row. he seems to, if anything, which is to calm this row. he seems to, ifanything, have which is to calm this row. he seems to, if anything, have infuriated his critics even more. i don't think one article will make a deep—seated problem and a big row go away and i think it is a lack of trust and one article like repair or improve that. but there has been a significant thing that has been done here by jeremy corbyn in writing this piece of. he has acknowledged examined as isa of. he has acknowledged examined as is a serious problem in the labour party, he has taken on the people who would have otherwise supported him. this is especially important, he has condemned people who not only

hold anti—semitic attitudes but those who think this is not a smear and the labour party. is part of the bigger shift in thinking that we need on the left, to recognise it is a real problem, just as we do with all sorts of prejudice. a shift that many are looking for is on this question of the international code and whatjeremy question of the international code and what jeremy corbyn question of the international code and whatjeremy corbyn makes clear in this article, despite saying that anyone who is anti—semitic doesn't speakfor anyone who is anti—semitic doesn't speak for him, despite anyone who is anti—semitic doesn't speakfor him, despite him expressing again his determination to root out anti—semitism and racism, he does not seem to be prepared to accept, in full, this international definition and the exa m ples international definition and the examples which have been so widely accepted elsewhere. there is a consultation now that is happening, so consultation now that is happening, so he doesn't want to pre—empt that. my so he doesn't want to pre—empt that. my personal view is i agree the author of the original text, kenneth stern, who has expressed serious concerns about how this is used to

shut down criticism of israel. is just ten words that worry people, everything else is fine. —— it is. those words are being used in barnet council in north london, to try to prevent people who criticise israel from using their facilities. globally do it effectively is making it absolutely clear that this isn't about debates around the middle east, is that safety and security of jews in written. that is to have vigorous and open debate about the middle east, you can take both sides. the problem is you cannot separate out those two aspects, can you? because separate out those two aspects, can you ? because part separate out those two aspects, can you? because part of the code that jeremy corbyn sings so reluctant to adopt is that you cannot equate the actions of the israeli state with those of the nazis. 0ut that is very

much at the heart of this row. surely what he needs to do is accept that whole international code in full, then you might be able to demonstrate to his critics that he is committed to getting rid of anti—semitism. is committed to getting rid of anti-semitism. that is not quite right. in the labour's code of conduct, they make it very clear that equating israel with nazis is absolutely unacceptable. really, it is just absolutely unacceptable. really, it isjust ten words. absolutely unacceptable. really, it is just ten words. that is the only source of disagreement. jeremy corbyn has made his explicit in his piece in the guardian, since the code of conduct was launched. what do you think? we have ten words, don't you think that adding that into the definition of anti—semitism risks shutting down the voice are palestinians and others who want to object to a state founded on the dispossession of palestinians. i think we can be against that behaviour and fight anti—semitism in britain. is notjust that. jeremy corbyn has clearly angered and upset

large numbers of thejewish community of many of those in the past we would have considered themselves labour supporters. this is doing real damage. it absolutely is. i mean, it isjust ten words that freight —— differentiate their code of conduct with this. it is not just ten words that has upset the jewish community. that's right of it isa jewish community. that's right of it is a deep—seated and running problem. it isn't new. i read the other day that since trials —— prince charles in the 80s talked about a jewish lobby running america. exist in the labour party and has done from time, it exist in the left, this article makes that clear and now let's get to the specific cases of bricking it out. —— bricking it out. —— rooting it out. thank you very much. the sister of a woman missing for more than a week, has made an emotional appeal for help in finding her.

gemma eastwood broke down in tears as she described her older sister, samantha, as her best friend. the 28—year—old midwife was last seen at the end of her shift, at the royal stoke hospital last friday morning. a 32 year old man, arrested in connection with her disappearance, has been released on bail. phil mackie reports. samantha eastwood was described by herfamily as happy, bubbly and smiley and an amazing midwife. today, her sister made a tearful appeal for help tracing her. she's my best friend and partner in crime. without her, half of me is gone. samantha, if you're listening, please get in touch, we all love you and miss you very much. we just need you home where you belong. this was the last confirmed sighting of samantha. she's on the left, leaving work after a night shift at 7:a5am last friday morning. then driving away in her car, a few minutes later. she hasn't been seen since. this is where they found samantha's car and her keys were inside her house. neighbours have reported hearing

a scream at around two o'clock last friday afternoon. police have said that is one of many different lines of inquiry. a 32—year—old man who was arrested on suspicion of kidnap has been released under investigation. dozens of officers are involved in the search and they hope the appeal willjog someone's memory. they are also trying to find samantha's distinctive radley purse, which is missing. samantha was jovial, talking about future plans. there were no concerns about her mental state, so, you know, to disappear isjust totally out of character and that has obviously ramped up the concern from everybody. police have described it as a high—risk missing—person enquiry. friends and family still hope that samantha will return to them soon. if she is out there or anyone knows where she is, just please get in touch. get her home. phil mackie, bbc news, staffordshire. the weekend promises to be an extremely hot one in many

parts of europe, with some countries preparing for near record—breaking temperatures, in the blistering heat. the highest ever recorded on the continent was 48 degrees celcius in athens, more than a0 years ago, but portugal could get very close with temperatures forecast to be around 47 degrees, while parts of spain today reached the mid 40s, and are on red alert. sima kotecha reports now from cordoba in southern spain. for many, it is unbearable. dry heat, no breeze and no change. all across spain and portugal, people are desperately searching for ways to stay cool. this week in montero, temperatures were the hottest in spain. peaking at 45 degrees. in nearby cordoba, doctors are worried about how visitors will cope. of course people come into cordoba, they want to see everything, they want to visit all the places

in cordoba and they are not used to these temperatures. they should stay inside the places, but do not walk around in the midday, because it is very dangerous for them. of course, summers in this part of the world are hot, but this heat is exceptional. most of it is down to the hot air coming in from northern africa and stagnating over the iberian peninsula. that in turn could affect conditions in the uk. the great mosque here attracts tourists from across the world. for those from britain, the torrid weather is just too much. we just feel like we are absolutely melting, it is so hot, i think we are just kind of dodging the sun and trying to find some shade, getting ice creams, trying to stay hydrated, because it is absolutely boiling. we just got in the car, got some air con. we had just travelled for an hour, just to escape the heat, it is brilliant. we are going to get back in the car soon.

and is that ice cream cooling you down a bit? yeah. yeah? as night falls, the temperature drops, but it is still around 35 degrees. it can be incredibly uncomfortable, especially for those who do not have air conditioning and these high temperatures are not subsiding just yet. they are expected to continue for at least a few days. sima kotecha, bbc news, cordoba. now it's time for the weather with tomasz. hello. thanks to joining the. hello. thanks tojoining the. come to have a look at the weather for the week ahead and it looks like it is going to stay hot across the south at least for the time on sunday. we saw the peak of this current hot spell, 33.2 degrees in kew gardens in london. in contrast, in western scotland, it was a lot fresher, temperatures dipping get higher than around 16 degrees at the brees of the atlantic loud and a few

spots of rain. how about the weekend headline then? a lot of fine weather across the uk, plenty of sunny spells and it is going to remain hot across the south and south—east. now it remains very hot across europe, with clear skies, without sunshine there, you can see the satellite on continental europe and in spain and portugal in the south—west wicket see tempertaures on saturday approaching 47 degrees, some incredible heat there are across south—western europe. here in the uk, saturday the weather is looking fine. as promised, lots of sunny spells but a little bit of rain in the western isles, 15. away, or london will be a shade cooler on saturday, if you can call it that, around 29. for most of us it will be around 29. for most of us it will be around the low or mid— 20s. before saturday evening on the way of clear skies later in the night. is look at sunday ‘s weather map and the azores islands are here, it basically

continues to build across the uk but looking further south was because this area of low pressure is starting to approach. so where we have high pressure here, we have the clear skies, where we have the low pressure the aries rising and creating clouds and rain and this is where we will see a weather front approaching from north—western parts of the uk. very much a north—west south split, hot across england and wales, called for scotland and the —— northern ireland. backpressure goes a bit more on monday but ahead of that we will see some very warm weather, but this will be the dominating feature of our weather across more northern parts of the uk. atlantic wind keeps pushing fresher weather into as far south as northern england and the heat is deflected into europe, but still affecting the extreme south in east anglia. actually it looks as though on monday temperatures could even pick upa on monday temperatures could even pick up a little bit ahead of these weather fronts, with the s swinging ina weather fronts, with the s swinging in a little bit more from the south. looks like temperatures again will approach 30 degrees or more in

london, have rarely a rise, but for most of us across the northern uk it is the high teens or 20s with spits and spots of rain. 0n is the high teens or 20s with spits and spots of rain. on tuesday did see a atlantic wind blowing in at pa rt see a atlantic wind blowing in at part of the country, western wales, northern england, partly cloudy skies with a few showers but that south—eastern corner, still affected wind off the continent in france where it is hot, temperatures getting up to 30 in london and that is pretty much it for the time being. you can see with a heatwave is, we will seek cooler air, this cooler and pushing in off the atla ntic cooler and pushing in off the atlantic for wednesday, thursday, friday. that never —— at weather map is later in the week and you can see the city forecast with temperatures dropping in the capital and in the north it will typically be around 18 -20 north it will typically be around 18 — 20 degrees. there is cooler at weather on the
