and publishing the social class of bbc employees. they are just ideas at the moment, but it's a clear sign of labour's desire to reform the media. david sillito, bbc news. finally, it's been a great day for the race horse trainer markjohnston — he has finally broken record the record for the most winners in british racing history. poet's society, ridden by frankie dettori, won a handicap race at york to give markjohnston his 4194th victory. he said he had to pinch himself to think he'd achieved such a racing milestone. it's just relief at the moment to get it over with. there has been so much attention on it. you know, the last few weeks and particularly the last four days. but it is obviously important. it is all about winners at the end of the day. the record—breaking markjohnston. that is almost it for us. newsnight‘s about to begin over on bbc two in a few moments. here's mark urban. tonight, the government's raft of planning notices for a no—deal brexit —

son mick talks to us about following his father into motor—racing. brendan rodgers claimed his celtic side lacked pride in defending, after they conceeded a poor goal to draw 1—1 draw in the first leg of their europa league play—off against suduva in lithuania. the game was just three minutes old when olivier ntcham nodded them in front against the lithuanian champions, but their frailties at the back were exposed ten minutes later. still lots of work to do in the second leg. rivals rangers were 1—0 winners over ufa.

i feel for supporters to me. ifeel for supporters to me. they have come all the way out here about 200 of them all the way out probably trains, buses the whole thing. and it's a disappointing performance from them. they see a goal, but we had to be much better than that. elsewhere, burnley will need a big comeback in their second leg. after they were beaten 3—1 by olympiakos in athens. after going a goal down, chris wood did level things up with that first half penalty. andreas bouk—a—lakis put the hosts ahead after the break and things went from bad to worse for burnley when ben gibson was sent off on a second yellow for handball and olympiakos got their third goal of the night from the resulting penalty. it's not been the return to english rugby that chris ashton was hoping for.

the sale sharks winger, who returned from toulon this summer, has been banned for seven weeks after he received a red card for a tip tackle in a preseason friendly against castres last week. ashton did not accept the charge, but was found guilty by an independent panel process. our rugby union reporter, chris jones has more. unless the panel dismissed the citing, he was always going to get a hefty ban because the lowest he could've got was six weeks, because he a dreadful disciplinary record. in 2016, he had two bans. one for making contact with the eye area, another for biting. and the panel added one week on. he argued he was provoked, but the panel did not see that as appropriate. seven weeks, six rounds of the premiership and a big blow for his team, who would have wanted their star signing up and running. and a dent in chris ashton‘s international aspirations, given he returned from france with the purpose of getting back into the england mix for the november internationals.

hampshire's james vince is the only addition to the england squad ahead of the fourth test against india. the 27—year—old was dropped after the tour of new zealand in april but will now provide cover forjonny bairstow, who broke a finger in the defeat at trent bridge. i think the question about events is that he has had, they said it would be his third chance to whether he's already had opportunities he is only averaging below 25. is he good enough for this level? and james vince has been banging the door down. he scored a lot of runs. he let hampshire to the 50/1 day cop. probably his last chance but it's probably deserved. england opener keatonjennings top scored for lancashire as they beat the kent spitfires to become the first side to reach the t20 blast finals day his england team—mate didn't fair so well. jos buttler was stumped first ball.

bridge inner—city of the top of the metal tables with 31 medals overall. three days of competition still to come. 31 years after his first winner, markjohnston has broken the all—time record number of british winners for a racehorse trainer. he has reached a record 4,194, at york's ebor festival. and he did so with outsider, poet's society — ridden by frankie dettori — to win a handicap chase and give the 58—year—old scot the record outright. he had been tied with richard hannon sr who retired five years ago. his first win came in 1987 and times have certainly changed in the sport since then my most abiding memory is coming home and watching teletext, just putting the results on teletext and having nothing else on the television all night. there was obviously no racing channels in those days. i had huge ambitions to train lots and lots of good winners. but i don't know if i was thinking about 4194.

this weekend, the belgian grand prix is held at spa, a track synonymous with the success of seven—time world champion michael schumacher. he dominated formula one during the 1990s — but suffered a serious brain injury in a skiing accident nearly five years ago. now, his 19—year—old son mick has aspirations to follow his father into the sport. our formula 1 correspondentjennie gow went to meet him at home in switzerland. his father is a sporting icon and the most successful formula one driver of all time. having started out with a go—kart in the garden when he was just three years old, mick schumacher is carving out his own career in motorsport. recently taking his first win in european formula 3. i always did different sports but there was never this feeling that i wanted to do that in the future. there was always a feeling that i wanted to do that, racing, kind of thing.

speeding and being quick and racing and fighting against each other. at the end, i try to be the best. mick's first f3 win came at spa, the very same circuit that his father michael got his maiden grand prix victory back in 1992. the first win ever for michael schumacher. in a career that spanned two decades, schumacher remains the only racer to have ever w011 five consecutive titles. he had retired from motorsport when he sustained a life—threatening injury whilst skiing in france. but in mick, the family's talent and passion for motor racing continues. i want to ask about the role that your dad has had on your career. he had a huge influence. as everybody knows, i guess he's my idol. he is the person i looked up to and i am really
10:41 pm
following everything he did and trying to look at something that i could use myself. and so he had a huge role in how i am driving now. really happy about that. in his early career, mick raced under his mother's maiden name to avoid the spotlight. but now the steely determination associated with the schumacher family shines through. your name is now synonymous with motorsport, isn't it? yes, it is. but i don't know if. for sure, a lot of doors open easier and i want to prove that i am a racing driver and not only someone who has the name. i don't have any rush so for me if i am ready as a racing driver, a complete racing driver, i think that is the right moment for me to go into f1 and then that is when i am able to show what i have got. at the belgian grand prix last season, mick drove his father's car around the track, a tribute to past successes and a glimpse at the potential that lies ahead. jenny gow, bbc news.

the ft leads on ministers' guidance about the consequences of a no—deal brexit, highlighting the warning that british companies exporting to the eu may need to hire customs agents to deal with the red tape if there is no brexit deal. the metro says the dangers of a no—deal brexit have become much clearer after the guidance. the telegraph says the chancellor, phillip hammond, has been accused of undermining theresa may's brexit strategy after warning that leaving the eu without a deal would have "large fiscal consequences" for the uk. the times claims the chancellor's dismissal of a brexit dividend has underlined the splits in the cabinet. the express reports that phillip hammond has been rebuked by no 10 after reigniting the tory feud over europe. and the guardian leads on the study which suggests that russian bots and trolls may have deliberately spread misinformation about vaccines on twitter. shoaib plunges straight in? the

daily express. what does hammond think he's playing at, demands that paper in bold large type. he's going road which the phrase they use in the us. he's warring again. trying to settle nerves over a new deal brexit. nobody really wants that, it's better forget it deal but even if we don't he has issued some reports, 24 in all saying what the consequences could be. the payment has gone one better saying the physical consequences will be dire and he's been swiftly rebuked by downing street for saying so. there's a lot of detail in these documents. we had a discussion earlierfor he said documents. we had a discussion earlier for he said he tried to look on the website and does not feel he's any the wiser because of the

end of the day and they say they do wa nt to end of the day and they say they do want to deal, but do you think it has moved the debate forward in any way? i don't. it's interesting be expressed as flame bait in this way. the cancer was no dealjust hours after the brexit secretariat. the point is did not calm fears. sometimes it's the blt of. they barely ever agree about anything a grain of this would be a disaster. we had the welsh government and scottish government, you know this is getting into new levels of recklessness. this is the british government. they need to look people in the eye and tell them the reality of what's going to happen. the need to look as farmers in the eye and the manufacturers and tell us what happened when their businesses go bust. it will have to look people in
