this is bbc news. the headlines at midday: an official un report accuses myanmar‘s military of carrying out genocide against its rohynga population — and criticises the country's leader, aung san suu kyi, for failing to intervene. criminal investigation and prosecution is warranted focusing on the top tatmadaw generals in relation to the three categories of crimes under international law — genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. food prices are expected to rise in the coming months as farmers feel the effects of this year's extreme weather. the campaign calling for a new brexit referendum is attempting to change labour party policy on the issue — according to a leaked memo. also this hour: police in florida are working to establish why a gunman opened fire at a video games tournament, killing two people. officials injacksonville say the 24—year—old suspect then turned the gun on himself. a 72—second silence will be held

at london's notting hill carnival later, remembering the victims of the grenfell tower fire. and in half an hour, we'll be travelling to mauritius in the travel show. un human rights investigators have released a damning report into the rohingya refugee crisis. the report, based on hundreds of interviews, is the strongest condemnation from the un so far of violence against the rohingya. it accuses the head of the army in myanmar, along with five other generals, of carrying out a genocide against the country's rohingya muslim population. the investigators have called for the generals to be tried in the international criminal court — although as myanmar is not signed up to the rome statute,

any trial would need support from the un security council's five permanent members. the report also blamed myanmar‘s leader aung san suu kyi for failing to prevent the violence, saying she "has not used her de facto position as head of government, nor her moral authority" to intervene. christopher sidoti, who helped to compile the report, outlined the team's findings. the fact—finding mission has concluded on reasonable grounds that the patterns of gross human rights violations and serious violations of international humanitarian law that it has found on to the gravest crimes under international law. these have principally been committed by the military. their mission has concluded that criminal investigation and prosecution is warranted focusing on the top

tatmadaw generals in relation to the three categories of crimes under international law, genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. our south east asia correspondent, jonathan head, said that for the chairman of the un fact—finding mission, marzuki darusman, to call for prosecutions was extraordinary. absolutely damning criticism. for a un report to come out and say there is no choice but to prosecute myanmar‘s top leadership for genocide is extraordinary. marzuki darusman, i know him well, he's normally a very cautious man, that was quite extraordinary to hear that. this will put myanmar in a greater position of diplomatic isolation. there was a recommendation it should go to the international criminal court but that would require the un security council to refer myanmar, and china will almost certainly back myanmar and reject that.

they talked about other possible mechanisms, that has happened in the case of syria where independent recommendations were created to pursue human rights investigations into atrocities with the prospect of indictments later. that looks like the way they will go with myanmar, it could take some time. but the conclusion of this report brought together so many of the other news reports we heard over the last year, about rakhine state, absolutely appalling human rights abuses, systematic organised destruction of an entire people. they have brought that together, serious members of this team, and came out with these tough recommendations. it now goes to the international community, the un general assembly and human rights council to work out what to do next. myanmar has not co—operated with this team but it is more beleaguered and isolated.

for aung san suu kyi, for so long as beacon of hope for democracy and understanding in myanmar, where does this leave her now? i think she's in an appalling position, to some degree self—inflicted. the writers of the report acknowledged that her civilian government has little authority over the media and did not plan this —— over the media. they did not plan what they call this potential genocide but they say she has never spoken out against what the military has done. even to this day, last week in a public speech she refused to acknowledge the atrocities carried out by her armed forces. it's unlikely that they would lead to any prosecution of her but she has sided so firmly with her own military,

that locked her up for many years ovet the rakhine issue, but if this does go to a genocide prosecution and international form, aung sang suu kyi will find herself on the wrong side, put in the same camp as pariahs like north korea and the syrian government. let's get some reaction on this from mark farmaner. he's director of the burma campaign uk and joins us by webcam. thank you forjoining us. what is your reaction to this report? we have had the evidence now for a long time, we knew the burmese government we re time, we knew the burmese government were trying to drive the rohingya out. it's a damning report, it doesn't get worse than genocide, and there were warnings, the international community did nothing to prevent it so now will they hold those responsible to account? do you believe that will happen. it doesn't look like it it. even today the

british government is still talking about are investigation that to herself has set up and you would have to be naive to believe any justice will come from that. the ohus justice will come from that. the onusis justice will come from that. the onus is now on the international community to react, the british government should be supporting the international criminal court and if they tried to build a coalition of countries supporting that, that is the best chance of overcoming opposition from china and would worry the generals. at the moment they have got away with genocide and they have got away with genocide and they are stepping it up. if a series of countries led by the us k —— the uk said they would back icc referral, that might end the impunity. the foreign office says

they believed the gravity of the report warns the attention of the un security council, we will discuss options for bringing this before the security council once the fact—finding commission have made their final presentation in september, and they talk about the need for domestic acceptance and accountability in burma. does that go far enough? the fact-finding mission rejected those domestic enquiries, that statement from the foreign office doesn't say they accept these recommendations and will implement them. so far the global response to what the un have said is genocide has been to stop a handful of generals going on holiday to the eu. they have enjoyed impunity and the foreign office have not even said it will act on the

recommendation of the fact—finding commission, all they said is they will talk about them but it's time for action. thank you forjoining us. food prices are being tipped to rise as farmers and producers feel the effects of this year's extreme weather conditons. the cold snap earlier this year followed by the summer heatwave, have contributed to the price of some vegetables rising by up to 80% over the last six months, as our reporter katy austin explains. this year, extreme cold has been followed by exceptional heat — a nightmare scenario for many farmers. farming has endured the worst summer drought in living memory, so that's impacted on wheat yields. so milling wheat is in short supply in northern europe, and vegetables in particular have been impacted quite severely, and so they will be in short supply in the coming months. now, an economics research group say farmers' costs and a struggle to produce enough is pushing up wholesale vegetable prices, and some dairy prices. for example, between march and july,

the farm gate price of carrots went up 80%, there was a 20% rise in the cost of wheat for bread, and the price of onions went up 41%. the researchers say that has a knock—on effect, and with some other products here and in europe also set to get more expensive, a monthly £7 increase on shopping bills could be around the corner. a spokesperson from the department for environment, food and rural affairs told us it is not only the weather that affects food prices. it says it has taken steps to help affected farmers, and the high temperatures have helped things like fruit and wine. i'm joined now by david read, a food supply consultant, and chairman of prestige purchasing. thank you forjoining us. are you worried about what's going on with food prices and production levels?

globally there is a problem on food pricing, if you take a glance back at the last few years, up until 2016 we had many years of low inflation and in some cases deflation and then along came the eu referendum vote and that started to nudge inflation up, because we buy a lot of our food overseas and exchange rates declined, and now we are in a new situation where the climate this year has been pretty grim, notjust in the uk but the rest of europe and across the world. will we have to get used to paying more for our food? that's probably true. the first thing i would say is we have been paying more for ourfood but we have been very sheltered by the level of competition on the high

street and the arrival of german discounters. we have seen food prices quite suppressed. we work with caterers and have seen the real price, not the price of food that the supermarkets choose to make their margin on, the real price rose 10% at one point and this year we're running at about 3.5% in wholesale prices compared to about 2% inflation in shops. we've been talking to one carrot farmer earlier and vegetable growers are talking about the impact on their business, in particular the weather, in some cases the prices of vegetables almost doubling. you were talking about the work increases across the board but how would you anticipate the level of increases going forward ? the level of increases going forward? i think some of the fork

out we saw today are realistic but it's important to remember that the production cycle for food is technically in annual cycles, so we will see a lot of inflation in the latter pa rt will see a lot of inflation in the latter part of this year but i didn't see any reason for this yea r‘s circumstances driving didn't see any reason for this year's circumstances driving the cost of food up long—term. there is a greater risk around what happens to the common agricultural policy which today is responsible for about half of farm incomes, what happens to that during brexit is a question and what happens to exchange rates if we crash out of the eu. those could be more long term and more impactful than one year's weather. thank you. a leaked memo shows campaigners seeking a referendum on any final brexit deal are attempting to persuade labour mps and activists to help change the party's position on whether to seek a fresh vote. the cross—party group

people's vote wants labour supporters to submit motions at the party's conference next month. labour is not currently calling for another referendum. we can't talk now to jonathan blake in the studio. —— we can talk. there is pressure for something to happen at the labour conference, what could happen? people's vote want enough labour activists and mps to submit a motion for debate at the conference and if it gets approval and clears procedural hurdles and has that platform for debate at conference, it could end up being labour party policy because for people's vote to achieve their aim of another referendum on the final brexit deals agreed with the eu in brussels, it needs the labour leadership to

change its position because the government has ruled out another referendum, labour have left a bitter room because it's not their policy to have a second vote but keir starmer has said all options should be on the table if parliament votes against the deal, so we have this memo going out calling on members to submit this motion for debate next month. how many numbers are needed to support it? debate next month. how many numbers are needed to support mm debate next month. how many numbers are needed to support it? it needs a majority of labour party members attending the conference to be in favour of this being put forward for debates and then the various committees of the labour party who are in charge of what goes on the agenda would have to agree to it, and needs to be enough support from members on the left of the party who supportjeremy corbyn for this take place. people's vote know they are seen by some as a vehicle for

attacking jeremy corbyn and undermining his leadership because many high—profile labour mps who support another vote are also critical ofjeremy corbyn solea are keen that this is not seen as a way of undermining the leadership, so have made this direct call to members so they can unite behind jeremy corbyn‘s determination to fight the tories on a hard brexit. we will speak to a labour mp who voted against the brexit bill a little later. police in the west midlands have launched a murder investigation after a mother and daughter were stabbed to death. officers were called to an address in solihull in the early hours of this morning and found two victims, aged 22 and a9, with serious stab wounds. both were pronounced dead at the scene. west midlands police say they have identifed a suspect who is known to the victims and are making urgent attempts to arrest him. two people have been shot dead by a gunman at a video game tournament in florida. 11 others were injured in the shooting, which happened at a gaming event injacksonville, in the north of the state.

police say the killer shot himself dead at the scene. andrew plant reports. this was a video game tournament being streamed live online, young people gathered in a room inside a shopping centre, playing an american football game, when suddenly shots are fired. just thought it was a balloon pop, the way it sounded. but then came the realisation, you know, that someone back there is shooting. so just we basically got down and crawled out, for our lives. screaming, there's shooting, i heard gunshots, people just running, pushing each other, just getting out of the landing. police used social media to warn people to stay away, and to hide if they were trapped inside. they later said they had found the suspected gunman already dead. the single suspect in this case is a white male. this is pending confirmation, but we believe the suspect to be 24—year—old david katz, from baltimore, maryland, and the fbi is assisting us with that leg of the investigation in baltimore.

florida has seen several mass shootings in recent years, including the pulse nightclub in 2016, where 49 people died. it is not clear what prompted this latest shooting. there is speculation that david katz had just lost a game in the tournament. police say investigations into the motive are ongoing. the headlines on bbc news: an official un report accuses myanmar‘s military of carrying out genocide against its rohynga population — and criticises the country's leader, aung san suu kyi, for failing to intervene. food prices are expected to rise in the coming months — as farmers feel the effects of this year's extreme weather. the campaign calling for a new brexit referendum is attempting to change labour party policy on the issue according to a leaked memo. let'sjoin queue for a

let's join queue for a sports round—up. tottenham at manchester united later and the spurs boss is hoping for a rare win at old trafford. given the difficult week it's been forjose mourinho following their defeat to brighton, it has led to questions over a perceived defensive star, but he is clear on what he wa nts star, but he is clear on what he wants from his players. a winning style. don't make defensive mistakes, be dominant, create chances, score goals, and get the three points. we want to win all the time, we want to play well all the time. you don't want to make mistakes. that's what you always want. we needs to improve winning against some clubs in the last four years that we play

manchester, we lose for different reasons, playing well in some games not so well that it's a massive challenge for us to go to manchester united and show that we are able to win. you can listen to full commentary on radio 5 live from 7pm. it was a brilliant weekend for british basketball. the men won the wheelchair basketball world championships, beating the usa in the final. the gb team claimed a 79—62 win over the rio paralympic champions for what is their first global gold medal. we knew we had it in us to get into that final, anything can happen and on the day we turned up and won a gold medal. it's ridiculous. we always trained as underdogs so now we're top dogs and everyone's hunting for us.

when we were about 12 up with a minute to go i thought, i think we have it here. we thought, oh, no, we have to hold on. and even for the last ten seconds, we won comfortably but you just want to see it out and this has actually happened. andy murray makes his grand slam return this evening. hip surgery kept them out for the first part of the year. he will face australia's james duckworth in the first round of the us open. murray is one of four british players in action — the british number one kyle edmund meets italy's paolo lorenzi at 4pm this afternoon. murray — ranked 382 in the world right now — says it's great to be back at the scene of his first grand slam success. i have great memories from new york overall, from juniors through the first slam final to then obviously winning my first grand slam here, so, yeah. i have lots of great memories.

i'm happy i'm able to be back, competing again here. it was tough, missing it last year. i was pretty upset at the time so i am really pleased to be back and i will try to enjoy it as much as i can. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. we will be back with more throughout the afternoon. let's return now to that leaked memo which suggests that the campaign group — the people's vote — are planning to try to get labour back a referendum on any final brexit deal. labour's current position is to respect the result of the 2016 vote. let's get the thoughts of one labour mp on this — stephen doughtyjoins me now from cardiff and supports the calls for a vote on the final brexit deal. thank you forjoining us. what do you think about this strategy?”

think we have seen a grassroots movement across the labour movement in the last few months arguing for a people's wrote. labour members, trade unionists see the chaos that the tory government are pursuing, some pursuing a luteal brexit which would be catastrophic, it is not in line with labour values and the type programme we want in government and thatis programme we want in government and that is why we are seeing voices from all parts the party calling for a people's wrote. not all the party because jeremy corbyn a people's wrote. not all the party becausejeremy corbyn isn't making it official policy and keir starmer said all options should be on the table, the focus so far has been on a meaningful vote in parliament if parliament do end up voting against the deal, every other option is still on the table. and those

options include a people's vote. we area options include a people's vote. we are a democratic party, democracy in the country didn't die in 2016 and as people see the damage to jobs, businesses, the risk to ireland and to workers up and down the country, the steel industry, the steel industry backing the vote, unions are speaking out strongly in favour of it and labour members up and down the country who are fearful about where this is heading, it's not where this is heading, it's not where they voted for and that is why many are now backing this vote. lot of bureaucracy needs to be dealt with for this to be debated at the conference and become official policy. what is the likelihood? we are democratic and have established processes for debating issues,

especially a rapidly changing environment like brexit, hundreds of constituencies across the country are putting forward motions demanding discussions on brexit and against a hard brexit. trade unions are coming on side, there are strong voices from momentum and i'm sure as the democratic group we will be listening to those voices and labour will be voting against the deal put forward by the government, then where do we go next? a lot of us will want to see a general election but one of the ways to resolve this will be a people's vote. could a change being made to labour party policy without it undermining jeremy corbyn? jeremy corbyn himself would say that labour's policy on brexit

has been evolving as the facts become clearer. when we see the lies put out about the nhs, extra money that will not be there, the risks to workers in the steel industry, industries like are bus, pharmaceutical sector and everyday life and the ability of a future labour government to deal with severe inequalities, we will not be able to deal with austerity if we are paying billions into dealing with brexit and at the moment we are spending billions, whether in the home office or business department on preparations for a mess instead of spending it on police officers or teachers or nurses and that is what a labour government would want to do. thank you. a second tribute to remember those killed in the grenfell tower fire will take place today on the second day of the notting hill carnival. the event is being policed

by 7000 officers today, the highest number for six years. metal detectors are also in place, in an attempt to reduce the risk of knife crime. our correspondent noel phillips is in notting hill for us this morning. it's incredibly noisy because the parade is now under way, thousands of dancers moving along ladbroke grove and as we can see, i want to give you some facts about the cost junk and those colours, 15,000 on display today and a lot of them have been made by the designers and sometimes have taken them months. it's taken some of these people 1 million hours to put these costumes together, the streets of west london are awash with colours, it was very wet but people are having a good

time, the atmosphere is incredible, there are about 30 sound systems and later at 3pm they will all come to a standstill, all the music will be switched off because they will pause and remember the victims of grenfell tower. there will be 72 seconds of silence and people will reflect because that tower is about a mile away and it's still a shadow in this community and on this carnival, and it's also worth remembering that the windrush generation, who came from caribbean islands in the 1960s and 19505, caribbean islands in the 1960s and 1950s, brought their culture and according to many people here, they inspired this carnival. if it wasn't for the windrush generation this carnival wouldn't exist, so there's a nod to those people, and windrush is back on the news but people are focusing on their positive contributions, the party is now

under way and i'm finding it difficult to talk because the sound systems a re difficult to talk because the sound systems are getting closer and people here just want to have a good time and downs and hopefully later we will find out more about the costu mes we will find out more about the costumes and try to you why they are pretty much a tradition for this carnival, europe's largest free festival. noble, good stuff, i know battling against the sound systems is not easy. let's get the weather. a bit better at notting hill today than yesterday, some wet weather across much of the country up—to—date drier and brighter, some sunshine and as we go through the rest of this week, not a lot of rain, some but a lot of dry weather and a warmer feel. temperatures rain, some but a lot of dry weather and a warmerfeel. temperatures in the east higher than yesterday, 20

degrees but a fair amount of cloud, it enough in western areas to give the odd shower, those will fade away this evening but overnight some areas of cloud and mist in the southern half of the country, a breeze strengthening towards the north west ahead of some extra cloud in northern ireland and scotland tomorrow, for eastern scotland down into england and wales it is dry, some early mist and fog but spells of sunshine, a bit of rain in places on wednesday at the end of the week looks on wednesday at the end of the week loo ks m ostly on wednesday at the end of the week looks mostly dry.
