spells of rain the state has had two spells of rain during the monsoon season and the worst is the last ten days. the number of deaths were 300 plus and there might be a slight increase in that but we do not foresee too much. thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us. thank you. you are watching bbc news... it is half past nine. 16 nurses at a hospital in the us state of arixzona have found out that they're all pregnant at the same time. max gorden, a reporterfrom the local tv station, has the story. it wasn't like they planned it and they sure were not counting on this. 0ne after another, after another, after another. 16 intensive care unit nurses all pregnant at the same

time. did we have some kind of pact going on? the boon of burgeoning bellies hadn't —— has increased trips to the cafeteria. and it has some patients a little confused.” was like you all pregnant? there are few limitations to the cases these verses can treat. infections and also chemotherapy drugs can be damaging to the foetus. but in nursing shortage is not under way. we have been planning for months. you find out how supportive your co—workers are few and the management team. it is kind of a good experience. mason max gordon, arizona. now it's time for a look at the weather with alina jenkins a lot of cloud around today and outbreaks of rain still going across parts of scotland, northern england,

and showery outbreaks for wales all this week, easing to the east. a lot of cloud this afternoon and a scattering of showers and some bright and sunny spells but in fairly short supply. the winds not as strong as they were yesterday, especially in the western isles. still some stronger gusts at times for the western and southern coasts. temperature is a bit higher in the best of the sunshine but we should seek spells of sunshine in the northern isles through this afternoon. there will be large amounts of cloud that will thin and break up leaving misty and murky conditions at times over western coasts and humid night for england and wales and northern ireland but cooler in scotland. the same tomorrow, lots of cloud and some bright and sunny spells but not many and showers developing in northern ireland, england and southern scotland. temperatures in the sunshine getting up to 23 or 2a tomorrow. hello.

this is bbc news with ben brown. the headlines: a man has been charged with attempted murder after a car crashed outside the houses of parliament earlier this week. the incident is being treated as a terrorist attack. india's military intensifies its rescue operations in the flood—hit southern state of kerala where more than 350 people have died. many people are still trapped in the houses in many places. i hope they get their help very soon. we couldn't stay there any more. i am thankful to the people who brought us thankful to the people who brought us out of that. the boss of the fashion label superdry has given a one million pound donation to the campaign for another eu referendum. we have a full review of the newspapers coming up for you injust a few minutes but before that, all the sports news. for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre,

here's will perry. good morning. premier league champions manchester city are a rich club but cannot buy class, according to jose mourinho. the manchester united manager was responding to a question about city's new behind—the—scenes documentary which was released earlier this week. pep guardiola's side won the title last season with a record 100 points. mourinho says: "i think you can have a fantastic movie, respecting others. you don't need to be disrespectful." he also joked that because he's in the documentry, he could ask for royalties. united and city are both in action today. what a match we had at stamford bridge yesterday. chelsea beat arsenal 3—2, a win in maurizio sarri's first home game. and across london there was a first premier league goal in august for harry kane. joe lynskey rounds up the action. the premier league landscape is always shifting. new faces bring in new eras. but unai emery inherits an arsenal side who have long forgotten how to win titles. for all the new ideas, their defence is a familiar picture. from 2—0 down against chelsea,

though, they did show some backbone. alex iwobi brought them level, but as before, arsenal's flashes of brilliance tend to be just that. over 90 minutes, they slip away. alonso, 3—2. great entertainment, but not a great start for arsenal. i think it's not a good start for us, but i think the process of the 90 minutes and the process of this team continue. across north london, the project is further down the line. spurs have the exact same squad as last season, but through a world cup summer, they have grown in stature. kieran trippier‘s free kick brought back moscow memories. his right foot‘s reputation has been honoured in his hometown. in bury, stardom comes with your own parking space. as spurs found a way through fulham's defence, his england team—mate reversed a trend. into kane.

here's a chance. he's finally got the goal in august, and that statistical oddity comes to an end. it was a mixed day for the nation's strikers. while kane celebrated, jamie vardy‘s afternoon was cut short. sent off for a lunge. luckily for leicester, another english talent had done the groundwork. £25 million this summer got them james maddison. he stands by his price tag. i'll always back myself, you know. i was made to play at this level and have worked hard to get here. i'm loving the opportunity that leicester are giving me. i'll take that all in my stride and keep pushing on, yeah. newcastle's fans might well have held their breath. a penalty in the 95th minute, but kennedy's effort was summed up best by his manager. it was a poor penalty, so we know that was a poor penalty. a 0—0 draw meant a first point of the season for cardiff city. when you arrive in this league, every landmark is significant. as arsenal look for their first win, their new era has the same problems. joe lynskey, bbc news.

celtic are into the quarter—finals of the scottish league cup. they've had successive defeats under brendan rodgers for the first time, but they beat championship side partick thistle 3—i. there's much more on all of yesterday's games on the bbc sport website. ben stokes made his return to the england test side after being aquitted of affray this week. england need quick wickets this morning when india resume at trent bridge on 307 for 6 after a good first day for the tourists in the third test as patrick gearey reports. few cricketers will ever have a week like ben stokes has had — from the trial to the test in four days. this was trent bridge's welcome back. scattered applause. if that was mixed, then so was his first bowling spell. the occasional edge and accidental barge — all pretty innocuous. but england have another all—rounder — not stokes, but chris woakes, who coaxed the first wicket. shikhar dhawan gone. next over he removed the other opener, kl rahul. england's man of the match in the last test had worked

so hard for those two, he deserved a bonus. it came when cheteshwar pujara got greedy and ruined his lunch. three for england, three for woakes. but after the interval, look at the changing colour on screen — brighter, and that tends to mean better for batting. virat kohli prospered for a session in the sun. he went to 50, and importantly for india, this time ajinkya rahane came with him. they put on more than 150 and looked so settled that the game hit a lull. with india dominant, attention can drift to the next page. not alastair cook's. that catch to dismiss ajinkya rahane was at more than 80 mph. it looks tough enough in slow motion. still, after hours of hard work, kohli was all set for a century celebration until, on 97, adil rashid bowled him a cracker. guess who took the catch. yes, ben stokes. even his quiet days are not that quiet. patrick gearey, bbc news. throughout the middle period, we struggled to create a chance. i thought they played really well

through that period. you know, we tried a few different things. i thought that we held our length pretty well. yes, test cricket, i think when you come off the back of a game where it's all happened very quickly, it's like sometimes you expect things to happen. but it's five days for a reason, and sometimes you have to sit in and be patient, and i thought we did that pretty well. it's been confirmed that tyson fury will fight the amercian deontay wilder for the wbc heavyweight title, after his latest victory last night. fury beat the italian francesco pianeta on points in belfast in what was only his second fight back after almost three years away from the ring. and so the build up begins. here's fury squaring up with wilder in the ring, two of the biggest characters in boxing right now. that fight is likely to be in las vegas at the end of this year. the fight hasn't happened yet but one thing i do know is i have been to america before and conquered it. i beat steve cunningham in new york

and frank sinatra said if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. i'm sure las vegas will be a doddle for me. don't worry about that. top of the bill in belfast last night was hometown hero carl frampton, who will have a shot at the ibf world featherweight title after stopping australia's luke jackson in the ninth round. that made safe the interim wbo crown and he'll take onjosh warrington for that ibf belt some time this year. she starred at the european championships last week but dina asher—smith says she just wants to sleep after coming second in the 200 metres at the birmingham grand prix. she won triple gold in berlin but was beaten by shaunae miller—uibo of the bahamas last night. asher—smith has a week or so to rest now before her next race in zurich. obviously i want to come out and put on a good race in front of a home crowd. i love competing in front of home. i'm sorry, i'm so tired! but the race was such high—calibre, it was like being in an olympic finals. i'm really happy

ifinished the race. i was like, "good, go back and sleep!" but obviously i was going to come out and do my best in birmingham today. britain's reece prescod ran a personal best in the 100 metres but the american christian coleman also clocked 9.94 seconds and won it on a photo finish. and laura muir says she was happy with her season after winning the 1000 metres last night, a week after becoming european champion over 1500 metres. great britain won ten more medals on the penultimate day of the european para swimming championships in dublin — six of them gold. and one of those went to the paralympic champion jessica jane applegate, who broke her own world record to lead home a british clean sweep in the 514100 metres butterfly. rugby league and wigan warriors are still on course for a home semi—final in the super league play—offs, after they inflicted a heavy defeat on catalan dragons. they won by 35—6 in the super 85, with catalans resting several first—choice players ahead of next weekend's challenge cup final against warrington.

that's all the sport for now. now on bbc news, here's ben with the papers. hello and welcome to our review of this morning's sunday papers. with me are the journalists and writers james rampton and eve pollard. welcome to you both and thank you so much for being with us. let's ta ke a quick look at the front pages. the observer reports on the fashion boss julian dunkerton dontating a million pounds to the people's vote campaign. the mail on sunday says chinese pirates have plundered 10 shipwrecks holding the remains of world war two heroes. boris johnson's visit to a west london mosque is pictured in the sunday times. but the paper says his official facebook page is host

to anti—islamic posts. there's talk of tory rebellion in the sunday express. it says theresa may is under increasing pressure to scrap her controversial brexit chequers deal. the sunday telegraph reports on plans to solve the care crisis by launching a new care isa which is exempt from inheritance tax. and the sunday mirror has an interview with the world's first transgender football ref. just a flavour of the front pages. let's explore them in a little more detail. let's talk about the 0bserver first of all, with that news that the fashion boss of superdry has donated £1 million to boost people's vote. what do you make of that? this is becoming more and more of a story that there should be a second vote as we face what could be no—deal brexit. and julian dunkerton, who hasjust

remarried, has given £1 million. it will be very interesting and they are going to use this money to do many opinion polls to show that people in britain want another chance to vote for brexit. 0f people in britain want another chance to vote for brexit. of course both tory and labour parties are against this. whether it ever takes off... but you can do quite a lot with £1 million if you use it cleverly. we had a representative from people's vote in a minute ago andi from people's vote in a minute ago and i was asking him this. many people watching this will say it is a multimillionaire trying to deny the will of the people and we had a referendum so why do we need a second? there may have been multimillionaires on the other side of the event as well who may have put money in. that is the subject of several inquiries. people are justified in spending their money how they wish. and there does seem to bea how they wish. and there does seem to be a groundswell of opinion that another vote would be a good idea. it has been a total catastrophe. the

way this government has handled this. i don't even necessarily blame mrs may. she is a prisoner of the warring factions within her own party, which have been in conflict since margaret thatcher's time and this war has completely paralysed herand she this war has completely paralysed her and she has been unable to come to any sort of deal and even checkers is being questioned now. the eu seems to think that jack is, evenif the eu seems to think that jack is, even if it gets through the tory party, is not up to snuff. —— chequers. she is completely hamstrung by that and i think another vote would be a good idea to get more clarity because we are in a completely stuck situation. i'll so think a lot of us didn't really know, i mean i think i did, but a lot of people didn't know what brexit involved. it would involve some problems for some people in some problems for some people in some parts of the country. in fact europe would be so frankly intransigent, as it seems at the moment. hard to know. but that europe would demand all this money

if we leave, and all the rest of it if we leave, and all the rest of it if we leave, and all the rest of it if we stay. i think people would like to have a go, and of course young people felt they didn't vote, as they often don't, and if they had voted for their future, they would have stuck with europe. we are where we are at the moment and we have this chequers agreement, what the prime minister 0aks this chequers agreement, what the prime minister oaks is the chequers agreement. the sunday express is saying that 100 tories are ready to rebel against that. not sure where they have got that figure of 100 from. maybe that is the sunday express's dream figure. i would be very surprised, given that it seems that the hard brexiteers are struggling to get the 48 votes needed to trigger a leadership contest, and if there are as many as 100... the contest, and if there are as many as 100. .. the sunday contest, and if there are as many as 100... the sunday express and the tory cheerleader for leave is waving flags here, and supporting jacob rees—mogg who has become a pin—up for the movement. and they're also

prompting the fact that nigel farage is returning to front line politics. did he ever leave front line politics? he has tried eight times to be an mp and failed, i think it is remarkable anybody gives him the time of day but here is again on the front page of the sunday express. i think this is a classic bit of leave cheerleading and i don't put much credence by it. do you think theresa may will get her deal passed her party? but more importantly passed the eu? is it going to be a deal that sticks? it is in the eu's interest to be very tough with us. because if they are not, it is the domino affect all across europe. we know italy doesn't want it, parts of spain don't want to stay in the eu. and the eu seems to be at odds with half the countries in the eu, who are building walls saying we don't wa nt are building walls saying we don't want freedom of movement, we don't wa nt want freedom of movement, we don't want people coming here. so i think they might be very intransigent

whatever we offer them. and the sunday times have a front—page lead about the man many people would call the father brexit, borisjohnson. he has been visiting a mosque, and there he is. yes, that he has got to doa there he is. yes, that he has got to do a bit more than that in my eyes to rectify the terrible mistake he made with that article is making very offensive comments, to my mind, about people in burqas. letterboxes and bank robbers. it has prompted a lot of really vile racist and islamophobic abuse on his official facebook page. of course that doesn't mean that borisjohnson himself endorses those comments but the fact that he has made the dog whistle, if you like. he is attracting those people. there is evidence that attacks on women in burqas have risen since that article was published in the daily telegraph. he is legitimising, as i fear, a lot of leave campaigners

have done this, reprehensible feelings. but he says freedom of speech and he does not need to apologise and it was just his opinion in an opinion piece. and we don't have a ban on the barker, even though france and denmark and other countries are doing that. he would say that he behaved perfectly 0k. and of coursejeremy corbyn has had problems of his own throughout the summer on problems of his own throughout the summer on anti—semitism. and that visitors to the cemetery in tunisia. the sunday times highlighting that again. friends of violence with whom he is happy to share a platform. plague on both your houses at the moment. it is very hard on somebody in the centre—left or centre—right politics to find a home at the moment. both sides seem to be cleaving to extremes. i may be against the tory party but i am against the tory party but i am against the tory party but i am against the labour party at the moment. i share the despair of these

apparent five shadow cabinet ministers who are having self— help groups to try and counsel themselves. and some of them are a p pa re ntly themselves. and some of them are apparently meeting, saying we have got to sort this out, this summer has been a car crash. they are very angry about the dramas surrounding anti—semitism and margaret hodge and all the rest of it. people think that parties that used to be suitable for us have got to change. they have no home. what is intriguing, buried in the second paragraph, the story thatjohn mcdonnell, the shadow chancellor, and you couldn't get a cigarette paper between him and jeremy corbyn, and there is a story that they are not even talking and they have had a major fallout over the anti—semitism issue, which is very intriguing. moving away from politics, the dreadful bridge collapse in general, so dreadful bridge collapse in general, so horrifying. and the mail on sunday have an interesting follow—up. —— genoa. potentially

some british bridges are substandard. that is a very good story. in the country there could be many bridges that those big trucks and lorries should not go over and sometimes they do. somebody is on their way at the sat nav tells them thatis their way at the sat nav tells them that is the way. and they say the worst cou nty that is the way. and they say the worst county is devon, with 248 bridges that they are worried about. if you think about it, some of the bridges are pretty old and i wonder when they were last checked. lorries and vans are becoming bigger and bigger of course. the sunday times has an interesting story about the pope's forthcoming visit to ireland. there is a say nope to the pope campaign. and people are moving away from the catholic church in ireland. if you do it in purely statistical terms, in1979, if you do it in purely statistical terms, in 1979, john paul ii hosted

mass for 1.25 billion people in dublin and next sunday only 500,000 are expected. many of those will not show up because tickets have been bought by the nope to the pope campaign to stop people going. there isa campaign to stop people going. there is a real sense that the catholic church used to run the irish state and nothing could happen in that country without its say—so. but after a country without its say—so. but aftera numberof country without its say—so. but after a number of absolutely appalling and shameful child abuse scandals, the catholic church has lost its authority in ireland, and quite rightly in my view that is reflected in people not turning up. they are just disillusioned with the church that not only committed the abuse, but then to make it much worse, covered it up. that is the real shock for people. and sent people to another place and then carried on. there is a poster here saying get your rosaries off my ovaries. again women want to feel

that they should be able to do what they want with their bodies and of course that is against the catholic religion. i think people felt outraged that the church were telling them not to do so sexual things and was secretly doing just those things and covering it up. it is like watergate, the cover—up is even more shocking. and that takes us even more shocking. and that takes us swiftly in some ways... you have done this before, ben! stormzy daniels would rather set fire to herself than do celebrity big brother. why is that? we have got to remember that she is alleged to have had an affair with the president of the united states, donald trump. a p pa re ntly the united states, donald trump. apparently they paid her 500,000 to turn up and be in big brother. she flew over, and she got there, and then she threw a series of tantrums. 0ne then she threw a series of tantrums. one was the fact that her chips were not delivered. i totally get that!

that then they said there were custody battles and she had to return. she got upset because they built a white house lawn on the set. she is slightly eccentric, this woman. would you have liked to see her on celebrity big brother?” would have loved to. i haven't watched it for many years but this particular contestant would have brought be back to it. i love that they make so much effort. they built they make so much effort. they built the white house lawn and they built the white house lawn and they built the border wall between mexico and the border wall between mexico and the us! ijust think it is fantastic. the sense of humour and the effort they have devoted to this. i am devastated that he is not going to be on it. it would have been gold dust. now what is very clever, and who knows she may yet come back? but at the moment kirstie alley is the president of celebrity big brother. so she can deliver the speech from the white house lawn any

day. i am sure the producers are devastated having gone to all that effort as well. we are going to talk about another interesting lady now, madonna. it hasjust about another interesting lady now, madonna. it has just been about another interesting lady now, madonna. it hasjust been her 60th birthday of course. she looks magnificent. she looks fantastic and she has had something of a birthday bash. were you invited? sadly not. i don't know her. you still could have been invited! i admire her because she says aid is something just written on your birth certificate. she is wearing a bedouin outfit, and she is somewhere i have been to, in morocco. it is a hotel in morocco. with that wonderful roof and a pool and a brilliant place. she a p pa re ntly and a brilliant place. she apparently only had 40 guests, which was very modest, the whole thing. it was very modest, the whole thing. it was all very civilised. she is there with no man but with all of her children and i do admire her. she has brought up this polyglot group of children very well, it seems.”

read a piece on her recently and she lives in portugal apparently and her child is enrolled in the soccer academy and she just said i am a humble soccer mom this piece is worth itjust for the headline, in bedouin with madonna. it has been waiting its whole life are now presented itself! i love that she insisted that no madonna music would be played at the party. so different from most stars who are all about them. she is probably sick of hearing it. i would not have ascribed the modesty to her. there is that seen in desperately seeking susan, when she does that brilliant dance to the music. but he has matured. she doesn't need to hear madonna music because she is well enough established. thank you very much for coming in. great to see you as ever. that is our look at the sunday newspapers. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website at bbc.co.uk/papers.

and if you miss the programme you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thanks again to my guests eve pollard and james rampton. hello. if you are looking for sunshine today, it is in fairly short supply. for most of us it is a fairly uniform shade of grey with lots of cloud around and for many of us lots of cloud around and for many of us turning increasingly dry. rain this morning across scotland, northern england and parts of wales, but it will be slowly clearing away to the east and fizzling out as it does so. behind it we will be left with the cloudy and humid day. this is the early radar picture, we can see whether rain has been. clearing from northern ireland but outbreaks are patchy rain in northern england. starting to become a bit lighter in parts of scotland now. that will soon be out of the way in the next few hours, leaving in its wake a lot

of cloud. some bright spells trying to break through but mostly cloudy for many. not as windy as yesterday particularly in the northern isles. still quite gusty for a time over western and southern coasts before the winds eased down. not a cold day. temperatures in the sunshine getting up to 25, but generally 18 to 22, and cooler and fresher for the far north of scotland where we see some sunshine. not much sunshine at trent bridge and maybe the odd spot of rain but mainly dry throughout the day with cloud breaking through at times in the afternoon. little change through this evening and overnight. we keep this evening and overnight. we keep this layer of cloud thinning and breaking at times. misty and perky for the western coastal areas with temperatures not much lower than 15 or16 temperatures not much lower than 15 or 16 for many so another humid night. away from the far north of scotland, where there could be clear skies and temperature tipping down to nine or ten. 0n skies and temperature tipping down to nine or ten. on monday we still

have this atlantic influence with moist air to deal with but much lighter winds. that weather front will be generating a few showers through the day probably across southern scotland, northern ireland and down into northern england, filtering to the south in to parts of wales and northern england. largely dry for many with some cloud and brighter spells coming through. temperatures getting up to between 20 and 25 across much of england and wales but cooler in northern ireland and scotland. in northern ireland and scotland. in northern ireland and scotland. in northern ireland and scotland we will see more frequent showers on tuesday merging together to give more persistent rain at times. cooler on tuesday here, but further south and east we should finally see more sunshine and temperatures could get up to 25 or 26. for the week ahead, cloudy and humid to start with a mixture of sunny spells and a scattering of showers, with fresh air that is currently across scotland thinking south to all of us by the end of the week. this is bbc news, i'm ben brown.

the headlines at 10. a man has been charged with attempted murder after a car crashed outside the houses of parliament earlier this week. the incident is being treated as a terrorist attack. india's military intensifies its rescue operations in the flood—hit southern state of kerala, at least 350 people have died. many people are still trapped in their houses in many places. i hope they get out very soon. we could not stay there any more and i'm thankful for the people who us out of there. the boss of the fashion label superdry has given a 1 million pound donation to the campaign for another eu referendum. also coming up — a baby boom with a difference at a hospital in arizona. as 16 nurses, who all work in the same intensive care unit, fall pregnant at the same time.
