this is bbc news, i'm annita mcveigh. these are the top stories developing at eleven. the number of people aged 85 and over needing round the clock care is set to double by 2035. experts warn of a looming ‘crisis‘. police investigating the murder of a mother and daughter in solihull arrest a 21—year—old man. the launch of london s new crossrail line is postponed to autumn next year, nine months late. veteran mp frank field — who resigned the labour whip over the party's stance on anti—semitism — says he will consider stepping down as an mp. clearly when i see the chief whip this afternoon that may be clarified. i hope i will not, i have beenin clarified. i hope i will not, i have been in the party 60 years. astronauts use duct tape to stop air leaking from the international space station. the two—millimetre leak was thought to be from a collision and was discovered after the air pressure dropped on board.

the uk's biggest coffee chain costa, is to be sold to coca cola in a 3.9 billion pound deal. good morning, it's friday 31st august. i'm annita mcveigh. welcome to bbc newsroom live. there's a warning that the care system in england is at breaking point, as a new study predicts that more than a million over 65s will need round—the—clock care in the next 20 years. the number of over—85s who require constant care is predicted to grow even more sharply. the authors of the report in the lancet warn that relying on informal carers, such as family members, is not a long—term solution. here's our social affairs correspondent, alison holt. we're living longer and more of us

will need help in our old age. today's research spells out the pressures that brings. the number of people in their mid—80s with complex health problems who need 24—hour—a—day support will double within two decades. the researchers calculate that by 2035 there will be nearly 500,000 people aged 85 and over who need round—the—clock care. overall, in the 65—plus age group, more than i million will require that high level of support. and the report warns health and care services will have to adapt, because families will struggle. it is going to be more difficult forfamilies, because women are the predominant carers, women are having to work longer, they are taking retirement later. and just at that age they will have maybe an 85—year—old parent who they will have to care for. and sometimes two parents that they will have to care for.

the government says it will set out its plans for the future funding of care services this autumn and that it aims to meet the challenge of a growing ageing population head on. alison holt, bbc news. joining me now is our health reporter laurel ives. we are talking about a relatively short time frame, the reports banned from 2015, but if you take today as a starting point we are talking about 16 or 17 years when these huge challenges will be presented. what does it tell us about the nature of those challengers? the report shows that over 85—year—olds is the fastest—growing demographic in the country and many of those 85—year—olds will need round—the—clock care by 2035, is double in fact. almost a third over 65—year—olds will also need

round—the—clock care. this has become a hot political issue for the government and in june become a hot political issue for the government and injune they announced a big funding grant for the nhs, an increase of 20 billion a year by 2023. what we do not know is how much of this money will be devoted to social care. but they have promised that by the autumn there will be a new report and they will set out their plans on how to reform this. 0bviously will set out their plans on how to reform this. obviously there is a looming crisis ahead with so many elderly people needing so much care. and the report mentions as we said in the introduction that family members cannot be relied on to give that care. many family members might be retiring later and they otherwise would have given that care. the report highlights differences between men and women in this respect. what they found is that men as they get older are more likely to remain independent. women will spend almost half of their remaining life

with low dependency needs, help with physical activity and daily needs. this is because they suffer from more long—term, disabling conditions like arthritis or obesity related conditions. the researchers were keen to point out that women in particular focus on maintaining muscle mass and staying fit and healthy into their later years. muscle mass and staying fit and healthy into their later yearsm is good more people are living longer, but not necessarily a scenario where they are completely independent of the need for assistance and care. what does this all say about the investment that needs to go into health social care? iam needs to go into health social care? i am talking on the policy level and the personal level. personal responsibility for diet and exercise. what age uk and researchers emphasise is there will be much more complex needs for social care going forward and the government needs to think about those joined government needs to think about thosejoined up government needs to think about

those joined up needs government needs to think about thosejoined up needs in its autumn green paper. but similarly individuals can follow health guidelines and help themselves by eating sensibly, exercising, not drinking too much, trying to stay as fit and healthy as they possibly can into old age. thank you very much for that. police have arrested a man in connection with the fatal stabbings of two women in solihull. raneem 0udeh and her mother, khaola saleem, were attacked on bank holiday monday. a 21—year—old man was detained in the sparkhill area of birmingham, as tom burridge reports. this video posted on facebook appears to show the 21—year—old man arrested late last night on a residential street in the sparkhill area of birmingham. on monday police issued this photo of janbaz tarin. he was wanted in connection with a double murder in a quiet cul—de—sac in solihull. two women were stabbed to death here in the early hours of monday morning.

one of the victims was janbaz tarin‘s ex—girlfriend, raneem 0udeh. the other, her mother, 49—year—old khaloa saleem. we know miss 0udeh made a number of 999 calls on the evening she was killed. she was on the phone to police when she was stabbed. tom burridge, bbc news. the roman catholic church in australia has rejected a call for police to report child abuse if they hear about it in the confession box. church leaders says child safety was a priority, but the proposed legislation would undermine religious freedoms. archbishop mark coleridge says the legislation was based on a lack of understanding of what happens in confession. it has

taken what happens in confession. it has ta ke n yea rs what happens in confession. it has ta ken years of what happens in confession. it has taken years of difficult investigation to highlight the abuse of children by the catholic church in australia. late last year and a royal commission found some 7% of priests had been accused of committing sexual crimes in churches, schools and sports clubs across the country. politicians called the abuse a national tragedy and demanded the church undergo wholesale change. desperate to regain trust, religious leaders have accepted all but one of the government's recommendations, that please should be forced to report abuse revealed during confession. they argue it would do little to prevent crime and destroy one of the fundamental tenets of their faith. if someone comes to me anonymously and confesses to abusing a child, without identifying the victim, what ami without identifying the victim, what am i supposed to do? most people would say go to the police. and say to the police someone whose name i do not know, who is anonymous, has

confessed to abusing a child, the identity of whom i doubt know either. where does that lead us? two australian states have already made failure to report abuse a crime which many believe will lead to widespread prosecution. the decision to reject the recommendation comes amid a tumultuous week from the catholic church as pressure builds on pope francis to assure that abusers within its ranks are held to account. in our island he spoke of appalling crimes and asks for forgiveness from those who had suffered. high—ranking clergy in australia say they will reform in other areas such as relaxing rules on celibacy, but their determination to maintain the seal of confession and uphold vatican law above all else will no doubt lead to inevitable conflict between church and state. the brexit secretary, dominic raab, is holding talks with the european union's chief negotiator michel barnier in brussels today.

they're aiming to reach agreement on future trade relations before an eu summit in october. our correspondent anna holligan is in brussels. six hours of talks pencilled in. tell us more about what is on the agenda. indeed. brexit bonanza. this is part of the effort to show that dominic raab is a details man, he is willing to get into the nitty—gritty required to try to thrash out deal before october. in terms of what is on the agenda, they are meeting for six hours, including a two working lunch. we have a vague suggestion they may be talking about security issues, the sharing of information, databases, that issues, the sharing of information, data bases, that kind issues, the sharing of information, databases, that kind of thing. but really this is partly about showing they are willing to put in the leg work. it is yet to be seen whether this increased face time will do

anything to work through the substance which is still very much to be decided. has there been a shift in tone since dominic raab took over from david shift in tone since dominic raab took overfrom david davis? has the different personality made any difference to the progress of these dogs? i think that would be quite a fair assessment to make based on what we are seeing. things are indeed feel very cordial. we sought a photograph posted by guy verhofstadt last night of him and dominic raab. he said it was a productive meeting. they hoped that the eu's core principles can be held in the future association. that says that nothing has actually changed. there will be no cherry picking. we heard from jeremy hunt yesterday, saying it is too soon to say that anything has changed. he said it

does not seem as though the eu's position is changing, there is still a lot of work to do. we will be hearing from michel barnier and dominic raab in a few hours' time. that will be the point at which we find out whether anything has changed after these quite substantial talks in brussels today. and whether there has been any movement on any of the key sticking points and whether the timetable might slip. while it has slipped earlier in this process, there is not much room for slippage now, is there? michel barnier has been saying since june there? michel barnier has been saying sincejune that it will probably slip from october into november, possibly december. that will not come as a surprise to anyone. in terms of what still needs to be done, here in brussels they are saying 80% of the withdrawal agreement has been agreed. the question is what is that 20% that remains? to give you a rough

summary, remains? to give you a rough summary, they are talking about things like the direct effect, so how the withdrawal will be implemented in the uk. then there are security issues which are probably on the agenda behind us here right now. things like criminal matters, operations and intelligence, databases, matters, operations and intelligence, data bases, eu citizens, how information is shared and stored. cross—border crime. you may have read about this, the geographical indications, so how will the uk continue to respect the european products and where they are bridges? things like parmesan cheese. we are hearing that the uk plans to bring in this new rule to protect things like scotch whiskey and cornish pasties and that kind of thing. but in brussels they are worried about what will happen to parmesan and that kind of thing. that is another one on the agenda. and last the biggest issue is

ireland. they need a backstop now. it is agreed in principle and they need to prevent a hard border and maintain the good friday agreement. but some of the non—contentious issues appear to have been resolved, but there is still a lot of work to do there. thank you very much. and a holiday inn in brussels. frank field, who resigned the labour whip yesterday, has said he will consider over the next few days whether to step down as an mp and trigger a by—election in birkenhead. mr field has described the party as a "force for anti—semitism" and said his local constituency party was now governed by "a culture of intolerance, nastiness and intimidation". an ally ofjeremy corbyn has accused him of making "grotesque slurs." 0ur political correspondent, chris mason is following the story for us at westminster. frank field earlier it was talking about how 35 people had voted against him at a local constituency

meeting, but he said there are 70,000 voters in birkenhead and it sounds like he might be happy to ta ke sounds like he might be happy to take his chances with a by—election. it would be a fascinating prospect. frank field has been the mp at birkenhead since 1979 and he sits on a giant majority. but a lot of people vote for a party rather than a candidate. we have not got there yet, but frank field has hinted it is not impossible, imagine we get to a by—election in which frank field was on the ballot paper and the labour party was on the ballot paper. you would have an argument around the local labour party who are frustrated with frank field's keenness on brexit. he voted for brexit, arguing he is not representing the views of local labour party members, but you would have frank field saying, yes, i am representing the views of the constituency i have represented for

over a0 yea rs constituency i have represented for over a0 years would voted for brexit. a by—election would crystallise so many of the arguments within the labour party into one particular seat, but the ramifications will extend far beyond that part of merseyside and would be watched keenly around the country. this is frank field talking to the bbc this morning and entertaining the idea of a potential by—election. and entertaining the idea of a potential by—election. it is a big enough step to have to resign the whip. as things settle down from that, i will have a decision on whether to have a by—election and whether it is proper for me. people on birkenhead will come up to me in the street to see if they want me to have a by—election or not. in a statement from his office last night, thanking me for my membership of the labour party, as though i was resigning from the whist club. i have been in the labour party longer thanjeremy i have been in the labour party longer than jeremy hunt. but i am grateful for his thanks.

the best analysis of that is to simply say ouch. frank field is referring to that one sentence that was put out by the labour party last night which merely said thatjeremy corbyn thanked frank field for his service to the party. there were 12 words in that sentence and. and not a syllable devoted to any sense of regret that frank field was no longer within the parliamentary labour party. there are those within the party who are not particularly fast about frank field, they think he has lost the support of his local party and lashed out in a way that they regarded as unbecoming. hugh is chris williamson. he has obviously lost the confidence of his members and he is now getting his excuses m, and he is now getting his excuses in, it seems to me, and throwing around grotesque slurs which have no basis in reality. that is a very regrettable end to frank's long

career regrettable end to frank's long career in the house of commons. the big question now is, is frank field the last person to walk out the door or could there be others to follow? frank field is a maverick. the word maverick could have been invented for somebody like frank field, he is a lwa ys for somebody like frank field, he is always willing to plough his own chorus. he is one of a handful of brexit labour mps. but there are a lot of mps who find it deeply uncomfortable about the rows of anti—semitism and there are some in the labour party who are deeply uncomfortable that labour in its ma nifesto uncomfortable that labour in its manifesto endorsed delivering brexit. but a lot of those pro—european labour mps distinct from frank field think their best bet is to change party policy from within. the decision of an mp to leave their political party, often a relationship longer than their relationship longer than their relationship with their husband or wife, and a relationship as long as

the relationship with their parent, is only something they break if they absolutely have to. chris mason in westminster. the headlines on bbc news... the number of people aged 85 and over needing round—the—clock care is set to double by 2035. please investigating the stabbings of a mother and daughter in solihull arrest a 21—year—old man. the lord of london's new crossrail line is postponed until autumn next year, nine months late. in sport england have made an early breakthrough on day two of the fourth test. stuart broad got the wicket of raoul. england are 37—1. the us tennis association is looking into nick kyrgios‘ victory after the umpire got down from his chair and encouraged the australian to try harder. he was a set down at the time. caroline wozniacki went out in

the second round. the australian open champion was beaten in straight sets. more on all those stories just after half past. news coming in about scallops. this is to do with the ongoing row between british and french fishermen overrides to fishing this prize scallops in normandy waters. we are told the french farming minister has announced that french and british fishermen will hold a meeting to discuss scallop fishing in the normandy waters with members of both the french and british administration is present in an effort to bring this increasingly heated row to an end. that news just coming into us. other news this morning. london's new east—west railway, crossrail, will miss its december opening date. services through central london will not begin

until autumn next year. a spokesman for the project said the new line requires extensive testing, so they've had to push back the opening date. the full crossrail line, which will be known as the elizabeth line, runs from reading and heathrow in the west to shenfield and abbey wood in the east of the capital. there's no date yet for when the whole line will open, lord andrew adonis — former transport secretary — joins us now from westminster. what has caused this delay? this is a serious failure and we were told the line was on time and under budget. now we are told it is seriously delayed and over budget and this is after the chief executive and the chairman of crossrail have executive and the chairman of crossra il have left executive and the chairman of crossrail have left the organisation over recent months. chris grayling, the transport secretary, appointed the transport secretary, appointed

the chair of crossrail to be chair of hs2. he did not tell us at the time that crossrail was in a state of crisis and there are big questions that need to be asked. it is really disgraceful that this has been announced on the friday at the end of august while parliament is not sitting. i think your viewers can draw their own conclusions from that. what the government is trying to do is bury bad news, but this cannot be buried. it is the biggest infrastructure project in europe and it is hugely important for the london economy and the national economy. this was going to add 10% to the public transport capacity of london, so the ability of people to get to and from work is being jeopardised. the finances will now be in jeopardised. the finances will now beina jeopardised. the finances will now be in a serious state for the transport for london because it was dependent on these revenues. it now has a black hole in its finances. i am afraid this is a very significant

public service failure. clearly it has not been buried, we are talking about it and i am sure other media outlets are talking about it. as a nonexecutive director of hs2, you must be well aware that big projects like this can run into delays. yes, they can, but we are not in a project like hs2 where we are nine yea rs project like hs2 where we are nine years away from completion, we were near to months of the line being open. it had already been named, the elizabeth line, after her majesty the queen. that was done in the last stages because we were told everything was on plan and on budget. to embarrass the queen in this way is inexcusable. questions need to be asked. to have a big problem at this very late stage and for both the chief executive and the chairman to be gone, and for the

secretary of state for transport, chris grayling, not to be before parliament accounting for this, is inexcusable. there is a lesson about the leadership of such projects. you cannot allow senior leadership, two members on big projects like this, to lead. it is inexcusable. the chief executive was being paid £950,000 a year, including performance bonuses. that was in order to bring this project in on time and under budget. the excuses we have been given about problems with signalling, the late completion of stations, they should have been foreseen years ago. everyone knows what the signalling system is on this line, it is not a state secret where the line is going, it has been there from the beginning. big questions should be asked. i cannot understand why chris grayling is not before your cameras and before parliament today on what is a

serious failure on the biggest infrastructure project in the country. lord adonis, thank you for joining us today. the uk's biggest coffee chain, costa, is to be sold to coca cola in a £3.9 billion deal. costa is currently owned by the british pub and restaurant giant whitbread which also owns premier inn and beefeater. our business presenter, vishala sri—pathma is here. this will be relevant to a lot of people who stop for their morning coffee, or whatever time of day they like to have their copy. why is coca—cola interested in costa? coca—cola, fizzy drinks, we are a lot more healthy these days. we are drinking smoothies and juices. last week pepsi bought soda stream to move into that kind of health—conscious market. this is a move by coca—cola to diversify its offering away from fizzy drinks into hot drinks. cost will be its first hot drinks. cost will be its first hot drinks. cost will be its first

hot drink brand on its product table. will there be a significant difference in the look of costa or the products that cost offers to its consumers currently? presumably not. whitbread, the previous owners of costa, its share price went up quite significantly by 17%. whitbread is known for its hotels. it owns marriott hotels, premier lodge, so coffee did not fit into the logic. if coca—cola is interested in costa, why did whitbread want to sell it? it has been on the cards for some time. the chief executive was looking to get rid of costa in the next two years. but this offer that coca—cola put on the table was too good to refuse. it found itself making the deal today and that is why we have seen the share price go up why we have seen the share price go up quite considerably in that markets were taken by surprise. they did not anticipate this move happening so quickly. they did not anticipate this move happening so quickly. when you're 250 miles

above the earth, travelling at five miles a second, even a tiny hole can cause a world of problems. so an astronaut on the international space station has come up with a low—tech solution to a worrying loss of air pressure. the crew has been dealing with a leak, probably caused by a collision with a fragment from a meteorite. german astronaut alexander gerst identified the two—millimetre problem by pressing his finger over the hole and nasa says that, for now, it's been covered with thermo—resista nt tape. mission control says the crew of six is in no danger. i'm joined now by professor monica grady — she is a space scientist with a focus on meteorites. it is very good to have you with us as ever. i don't think i ever recalled hearing about an incident like this. perhaps it has happened before on the international space station, but one would imagine the iss is hit by pieces of meteorite quite frequently. yes, it is.

everything up there is hit by these grains that i whizzing through space. they are about the size of a grain of sand. if you think they cannot do much damage, they can because they are travelling so fast, 70,000 miles an hour. when they hit the space station there is a possibility of a tiny little hole opening up. when you are travelling along a road and a stone chipping comes up along a road and a stone chipping comes up and chips your windscreen it isa comes up and chips your windscreen it is a bit like that. but it is moving faster. we understand that this tiny hole was discovered because of a drop in pressure on board the iss. were the crew in any danger at that point or would it have been inevitable that it would have been inevitable that it would have been inevitable that it would have been discovered quickly? have been inevitable that it would have been discovered quickly7m would inevitably be discovered. the crew we re would inevitably be discovered. the crew were not in danger. the space station is bristling with detectors. every section of the station has

oxygen monitors or atmosphere monitors, and it was found very quickly. and then it was fixed relatively quickly as well. the crew we re relatively quickly as well. the crew were never in any danger. we are reminded of that old story of the little dutch boy putting his finger in the dam to stop the water flooding through. picture an astronaut putting their finger over this tiny hole and then effectively putting duct tape over it. will the main repairand be putting duct tape over it. will the main repair and be quite easy?|j putting duct tape over it. will the main repair and be quite easy? i do not know. at the moment there is this epoxy glue, they have shoved it over the surface and held it in place with some tape. part of the space station where the leak is is the capsule that three of the astronauts will be coming back down to earth in in december. i am not sure whether this temporary fix will

be good enough to actually keep the hole sealed during the descent through the earth's atmosphere. the mission control at houston and the mission control in moscow are talking to each other to decide what the best way forward is. at the moment they are not going to do anything else but leave it in place and monitor it. they suspect before this part of the mission ends in december there will have to be a more robust repair. that is one to keep a watch on. thank you very much. the time is half past 11 and it is time to take a look at the weather with simon it was quite chilly this morning, but many of us have woken up to blue skies and sunshine and it is still like that at the moment. this is the scene in lincolnshire. we will continue with that sunshine.

fairweather cloud developing in the afternoon. the cloud will thicken up in cornwall, the hours of scilly, pembrokeshire and northern ireland. patchy light rain and drizzle moving m, patchy light rain and drizzle moving in, and the chance of a shower or two in the south—east of england. 0therwise two in the south—east of england. otherwise it will feel quite warm and quite pleasant. temperatures getting up to 18—21. 0vernight some cloud and patchy rain will move its way further eastwards and with that much milder conditions. temperature is nowhere near where they were last night. it could be chilly in eastern parts. but as we go through the weekend for most of us it is dry. cloud and rain in northern and western areas, but for many of us there will be sunny spells. this is bbc news. our latest headlines: a new study suggests

the number of people aged 85 and over needing 2a—hour care is set to double by 2035. an expert warns the care system is at "breaking point." police investigating the murder of a mother and daughter in the west midlands have arrested a 21—year—old man. the two women were found stabbed to death outside their home in solihull on monday. london's new crossrail underground line will launch next autumn and not in december as scheduled. transport for london says more time is needed "to ensure a safe and reliable railway for customers." veteran mp frank field says he's considering triggering a by—election in his birkenhead constituency, after he resigned the labour whip over the leadership's handling of anti—semitism allegations. sport now. here's katherine downes. good morning. we're starting with

cricket because england have taken an early wicket against india this morning, playing the fourth test at southampton. stuart broad did that. england are still some way behind. they made 2a6 yesterday, thanks mainly to sam curran. after another top order batting collapse. india a2-1 this top order batting collapse. india a2—1 this morning. the us tennis association is looking into nick kyrgios win after an umpire got down from his chair and encouraged the australian to try harder. he was losing by a set and a break at the time and he went on to win after the umpire intervened. he plays roger federer next. federer has said encouraging players isn't the role of the umpire. he said he liked me. i don't know if that's encouragement. but again, he was

just telling me it's not a good look. i know what i was doing was out there was not good. i wasn't really listening to him but i knew it wasn't a good look. but it didn't help me at all. i don't think he has to go down and take the position of a coach like you can see on the wta tour. i don't think... i don't know yet if it would have changed something, ijust know that he doesn't have to do that. so nick kyrgios plays roger federer next. novak djokovic is due to the third round after winning four sets. wozniacki has been knocked out. she was the kurds seeds but she was beaten after winning her first grand slam in australia earlier this year. she has failed to get past the third round of all three majors since. no such problem for sharapova, who is

through to the third round. away from the tennis, scotland's chances of making it to the women's world cup in france next year is now out of their control after they could only beat switzerland 2—1. they needed a two—goal margin of victory despite going to zero up inside five minutes in glasgow, they conceded soon afterwards and couldn't grab another one. they need a win in algeria on tuesday and hope that other results go their way. meanwhile, wales and england's women meet tonight. whoever wins will be assured of a spot in france tonight. it finished goalless in their earlier qualifier and they are playing at rodney parade in newport, a move wales are perfectly happy with. we haven't picked the stadium because we are playing a one off and we wa nt because we are playing a one off and we want thousands of people, it is a football match and home advantage is there for a reason, so if the crowd can play their part then that is great. we've had some great

experiences in front of big crowds. canada 2015, the quarterfinal of a world cup with 45,000 canadians trying tojeer at you world cup with 45,000 canadians trying to jeer at you and world cup with 45,000 canadians trying tojeer at you and make it as hostile as ever. we are experiencing these occasions and i think it brings the best out of the girls and it is an atmosphere that we are looking forward to but most importantly it is just a focus on hopefully getting a win. and you can follow the game across the bbc would live coverage on bbc two. that sta rts live coverage on bbc two. that starts at 7:30pm from newport. finally, usain bolt takes another step towards playing professional football. he is on the subs bench for australia a league side central coast mariners in a pre—season friendly. here's hoping to impress the to get a deal ahead of the new season. his team are currently 5—0 up season. his team are currently 5—0 up at half—time. so you would think they would get a chance to get out and have a bit of a runabout, wouldn't you ? that and have a bit of a runabout, wouldn't you? that is be sought ——

thatis wouldn't you? that is be sought —— that is the sport for now. thank you very much. there's a warning that the care system in england is at breaking point, as a new study predicts there'll be nearly twice as many people over 85 needing full—time help in the next 20 years. the authors of the report in the lancet warn that relying on informal carers, such as family members, is not a long—term solution. with me to discuss this in more detail is dr caroljagger — professor of ageing at newcastle university and a report author and also by nadra ahmed — executive chair at the national care association in newcastle. we are people are living longer and with age comes the variety of health needs and social care needs, so what we re needs and social care needs, so what were you hoping to do with this study? the important thing about this study is it includes the help people who are going to be joining

the elder population and so we are in ferrying what will happen. we have a real health profiles and so it is more realistic of what will happen if there are preventative measures put into place. so more investment needed in preventing dependency? yes. and nadra, i know last year you were talking about is being beyond a kit crisis in health and social care, in fact standing at the very cliff edge, so what you hope this report will do in terms of informing policy debate? well, i think the very important thing about this debate is that it actually highlights the role of informal ca re rs highlights the role of informal carers and how much contribution is going into the system from the people who are being forced into a situation which they would not like to be in, which is having to care for people without the skills and the knowledge and the experience of doing so. it's looking at the relationships they currently have

and how they then become carers and what that brings with it, so i think that has an impact on their health as well and i think this report is very good at highlighting that. so who looks after the carers, can we rely on carers, those are all big questions. also carers are increasingly having to work potentially longer in otherjobs themselves and therefore aren't free to necessarily give this round the clock care that the reporters talking about? absolutely, and i think that is a huge challenge because we are looking at families and we know that the country's debt is increasing, we know that people cannot always afford not to be working, and people are working longer, so we are heavily reliant on people caring, friends and neighbours, which is not right. it's not right to be in that position we the state is not able to offer help

and support. there isn't even that sort of community support that we we re sort of community support that we were so sort of community support that we were so used to. we don't have the same sort of linkage with general practitioners. we don't have district nurses. we don't have meals on wheels clubs in local communities. it's all being disbanded on the basis that people should be looked after more at home and this is government policy. if we are going to do that, we need to create a sustainable network where people will be supported, so if we have ta ken all of people will be supported, so if we have taken all of that away and then we are now looking at it and saying actually... sorry. sorry, i didn't mean to interrupt your train of thought but i was keen to bring dr jagger back into the conversation. your report, drjagger, says that the younger generation coming through, they will not only have multiple conditions as they get older, but a greater number of conditions, and i wonder are you saying in your research that at a policy level preventative measures

haven't worked, or is it down to personal responsibility, people making personal decisions about their diet, about whether they exercise or not? yeah, i think there isa exercise or not? yeah, i think there is a lot to do with personal responsibility, trying to maintain your health, but the ageing recess is such that we can't stop all of it, and the extensions of life, meaning that when we get to age 85 and over, the norm is to have multiple conditions because all of these conditions, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dementia, are strongly age—related. age is the strongest risk factors. and, nadra, you have spoken already about these strains placed on people who are caring ina strains placed on people who are caring in a more shall we say in formal way, what do you want the government to do? we know that in the autumn the government is due to publish new plans to look at health

and social care, but what would you like to see the government to? well, i think they need to recognise that they need to invest and they need to invest in many ways. it's notjust the financial investment. the make do and mend scenarios are not going to work, short, sharp fixes are not going to work, social care needs to be seen as a priority and they need to think about how we're going to spread the message about where we to be because i think if we're really honest with the public and we say this is what we can do and this is what we can't do, then i think the public will start to take responsibility. as it stands, what the public is promised is that you'll have everything and actually we can't pay for it. that doesn't work, so it's not only about throwing money at it, it's about creating the image of social care thatis creating the image of social care that is akin to the balance with the nhs and how important social care is, and aligned with the nhs, not as

an add on or as an also—ran. we are absolutely at that point were social ca re absolutely at that point were social care needs to stand up and ministers need to start talking about social care, not ignoring it. and dr jagger, do you think we also talking about entering into the realms of more people taking personal financial responsibility where they can for care when they are old? do you think that is a direction that the government might in, given that we know the strain of the budget has been under very long time now? yes, i think that is a sensible move, that if people can afford it they should, but i think there are innovative solutions to housing as well and co—housing and people being able to share care work perhaps. there are things that one can look at because families are becoming more dispersed and we can't always rely on our family to be close enough to be able to care for those. 0k, drjagger, one of the report

authors and nadra ahmed, thank you both very much for your time today. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news: the number of people aged 85 and over — needing round the clock care — is set to double by 2035 — experts warn of a looming crisis. police investigating the stabbings of a mother and daughter in solihull arrest a 21 year old man. the launch of london s new crossrail line is postponed til autumn next year — nine months late. time for the business news. coca—cola is to buy the costa coffee chain from owner whitbread in a deal worth £3.9bn. whitbread, which also owns the premier inn hotel chain, had been planning to demerge costa, but said the coca—cola arrangement offered a far higher price. payday lender wonga has

announced its intention to go into administration after losing its battle to stay afloat. the company said in a statement that it had assessed all options and had decided that administration was the appropriate route. it had already stopped accepting new loan applications as it fought to stave off collapse. diy retailer homebase faces a make—or—break vote on its future on friday. the chain — where 70% of outlets are losing money — has proposed closing a2 stores and cutting rents on others as part of a rescue plan. hello, good morning. welcome to the business news today. lots to get through — including that sale of costa coffee from whitbread to coca cola in a deal worth £3.9bn. chief executive alison brittain has described the sale as a "win—win" for everyone, she said the price paid by coca—cola

was far higher than if costa had been demerged into a stand—alone company on the stock market. joining us now is laith khalaf, senior analyst at hargreaves la nsdown. good morning. a good different whitbread shareholders, pretty good for them. yes, absolutely. a very good day for them and their shareholders and this is a pretty good deal, i think. shareholders and this is a pretty good deal, ithink. previously, whitbread had said that it was going to spin off costa has a separate business, which was happening really asa business, which was happening really as a result of shareholder pressure from activist investors on the shareholder register, but that was going to take quite a while, probably two years or so. and it's not entirely clear what price the market would have bet on costa, so now we have a more immediate cash injection from coca—cola, which is going to mean a return to shareholders and the market really likes that. now, coca-cola, they are hoping that costa will bring the

company growth. if that going to happen? i know fizzy drinks aren't exactly in doak at the moment. yet, thatis exactly in doak at the moment. yet, that is right. for coca—cola, it represents a step into the hot beverages market, somewhere where they don't have a presence at the moment. 0bviously, coca—cola is a huge business and this is only going to be one small part of that. i think probably if you spin it on its head, the other way around, costa copyis head, the other way around, costa copy is now going to be part of a much larger business, which is going to give it lots of support in terms of finances but also in terms of things like marketing and distribution as well. if you're going into a costa, is it going to change things? you probably don't know right now but are coca—cola likely to interfere with that brand? i don't think so. i think the reason for buying costa is it has been a very fast growing business and that is because of the success of its product, so i don't think there's great to be a huge raft of changes that we'll see in costa shops. i think their strategy of expanding

into the far east and also having these instant machines is going to continue and coca—cola is going to buy into that. and that is whitbread. they want to concentrate now more on hotels. do think they're to expand in that direction? yes, i think they will. the argument has long been that you have got whitbread, which is a hotel chain and they have bought a copy shop and what are those things doing together? so now costa will go off together? so now costa will go off to coca—cola and that will allow whitbread to focus its resources and some of this money coming in from coca—cola, it is going in to grow the hotel business and that is particularly the case in germany where it is looking to expand outside of the uk. 0k, we will have to leave it there. thank you for joining us. annual uk house price growth continued to slow over the summer with homes now 2% more expensive than a year ago. that's according to the nationwide. the building society said that the annual change had fallen from growth of 2.5% injuly to 2% in august.

average property prices had actually fallen by 0.5% in august compared tojuly, but this is considered to be a much more volatile measure. the average home now costs £21a,7a5. and if you're in london and counting on the new crossrail line to get you to work quicker, you'll be waiting for a bit longer. its now been kicked back to autumn 2019 — nine months after its scheduled launch. transport for london said more time is needed "to ensure a safe and reliable railway for customers from day one of passenger service". the project is running almost £600m over budget with extra funding required to complete the work. and president donald trump has threatened to withdraw the us from the world trade organization, claiming it treats his country unfairly. the wto was established to provide rules for global trade and resolve disputes between countries. mr trump says the body too often rules against the us, although he concedes it has won some recentjudgments. today, of course, is the deadline president trump

has set canada to come to the negotiating table to talk about nafta — the north american trade agreement. concerns over those talks and plans to slap more tariffs on china has mean there has been a cautious sentiment around global markets. that's all the business news. stars from the world of music have marked the life of aretha franklin in a tribute concert in detroit ahead gladys knight, the four tops and angie stone were among those who took to the stage to honour the "queen of soul", as chris buckler reports.

in detroit, they paid tribute to a voice that may never be matched. but to honour aretha franklin, they tried as hard as they could. music has long been a part of this city and aretha was its own queen of soul. at a concert on the eve of her funeral, they celebrated her exactly as she would have wanted. it was very important for me to come here tonight because aretha meant so much to us, i am so happy she didn't forget about her home detroit and she really showed us the love that she has for us and she gave back to us and ijust wanted to be supportive and show my respect to the queen of soul. she gives me feeling. she gives me soul. she lifts me up when i am down, that is what she means to me. at the new bethel baptist church where herfather once preached, thousands have gathered throughout this week. some have travelled thousands of miles to join the long queues in order to see aretha franklin lying here, in an open golden casket. she looked like a queen,

that is the word for her. the queen of soul. it is such an honour to be here today. it was at this church where she first started to sing. but her performances soon captivated america and the world. her songs became anthems and were adopted by campaigners during a time when many were fighting in this country for equality and civil rights. it is a real, real painful feeling and yet a rejoiceful feeling. she loved her church, she loved her father, she loved the people. and to have her come here in the last time in this manner, it sends all of us to know that all the times she has been here, this is indeed the last time. later today, former president bill clinton and the singer smokey robinson are due to join mourners in a six hour invitation—only funeral, the organisers said they wanted it to be upbeat and joyous with more

musical tributes from the likes of stevie wonder and ariana grande. little in aretha franklin's life was anything less than spectacular, and in death, little is proving any different. and that is the simple reason why aretha franklin will be remembered long after today. chris buckler, bbc news. the queen of soul and we'll be talking to our correspondent in detroit in next hour. have you ever been told to turn off lights at home because "it looks like the blackpool illuminations"? tonight's the night that the actual illuminations are being switched on for another season. the tradition has been lighting up the seaside town for over a century. tim muffett has more. blackpool, a52 nights a year, a

bonanza for the electricity board. blackpool's eliminations still draw in the crowd. we bring between 3.5 and 4 million visitors to the town every year. they spend over £230 million in our economy. it extends the season, the magic of the eliminations is when the other traditional seaside resorts are closing down for the winter. blackpool carries on. after the second world war, we saw a meteoric rise in the scale and the ambition of what the eliminations has become. any world of digital entertainment, how do you make the eliminations something which people actually want to come to buckle to see? the model is that you must have nostalgia, but you must always give them something new. we have individual leds in there. each one can do 60 million different colours, so it's painting

by light. a very famous witch, first used in 193a. by light. a very famous witch, first used in 1934. yes, george formby, sta nley used in 1934. yes, george formby, stanley matthews have all pledged it, just to name some. when you through that, voltage goes through there which flicks a relay through there, which will attain other relay, and then the lights come on. how many lambs have to be tested? 500,000. that a lot of testing. just to make sure all the lights go on at the same time. in total, around 1 million lamps are used. there is more than 100 miles of 50 and lighting chained to polls and lamp posts. every yea r, lighting chained to polls and lamp posts. every year, you have to change half a million lambs. yes. the sea salt rocks all this and they get sort of wet inside and just

rust. take your lamp, insert, twist, and that's a lamp in. so it's a massive job, but it's rewarding at the end of it when you see people coming to the lights and enjoying it. so if you're going to be watching the eliminations being switched on the ceiling, i'm going to get simon king today some guidance. how was it looking? it's going to be nice this evening and overnight. it will be mostly dry. tomorrow is the first day of meteorological autumn and last night was actually a pretty chilly night for the last night of summer. in fa ct, for the last night of summer. in fact, temperatures in rural parts of scotla nd fact, temperatures in rural parts of scotland got below freezing. we actually had a bit of frost last night on some of the plants. that was sent in by a weather watcher in the highlands, but we had a beautiful start of the day. lots of sunshine out there and for many of us we sunshine out there and for many of us we will continue to see sunshine

through the rest of the day. this is the latest satellite imagery. you can see where we have got barely a cloud in the sky across most areas. bigger cloud towards the west and that will slowly made its way further eastwards, so thickening cloud in some parts. there could be some spots of light rain and drizzle here. elsewhere, the sunshine continues and we will see that fairweather cloud continuing into the afternoon and it is going to feel quite pleasant, really, with temperatures getting up to about 18-21dc. temperatures getting up to about 18—21dc. through this evening and overnight, this cloud will gradually work its way further east, bringing with it some patchy light rain and also drizzle, but also we are going to see some mild conditions. warmer aircoming infrom to see some mild conditions. warmer air coming in from the south and south—west as we go into the weekend, so debited tonight won't be anywhere near as cold as they were last night. in fact, i think the western areas staying up at around 10-1adc. western areas staying up at around 10—1adc. across the far east of

england, temperatures could be a little lower with some length the clear skies into the start of the weekend. we start off with some sunshine across eastern and central areas on saturday. as a general ball of thumb, the further west you are it will be cloudier. some rain at times, particularly over higher ground, but also some brighter spells breaking through. still quite warm, even if you got that cloud in the west temperatures getting up into the 20s. it stays pretty one as we go into sunday. another weather system moving into the north and west and that is going to bring eventually some outbreaks of rain towards western parts of northern ireland and the north and west of scotland. elsewhere is going to be a dry day on sunday. there will be some sunshine and again particularly the further east you are across the uk you will see the best of that sunshine. it is going to be warm once again. look at the orange there. eastern parts. temperatures getting up into the mid—20s. goodbye. this is bbc news, i'm annita mcveigh. these are the top stories

developing at midday. the number of people aged 85 and over needing round the clock care is set to double by 2035. experts warn of a looming crisis. veteran mp frank field — who resigned the labour whip over the party's stance on anti—semitism — says he will consider stepping down as an mp. clearly when i see the chief whip this afternoon that may be clarified. i hope i won't, i've been in the party 60 years. the launch of london s new crossrail line is postponed to autumn next year, nine months late. police investigating the murder of a mother and daughter in solihull arrest a 21—year—old man. astronauts use duct tape to stop air leaking from the international space station. the two—millimetre leak was thought to be from a collision and was discovered after the air pressure dropped on board. the uk's biggest coffee chain costa is to be sold to coca cola in a £3.9 billion deal.

good morning, it's friday 31st august. i'm annita mcveigh. welcome to bbc newsroom live. there's a warning that the care system in england is at breaking point, as a new study predicts there'll be nearly twice as many people over 85 needing full—time help in the next 20 years. the authors of the report in the lancet warn that relying on informal carers, such as family members, is not a long—term solution. here's our social affairs correspondent, alison holt. we're living longer and more of us will need help in our old age. today's research spells out the pressures that brings. the number of people in their mid—80s with complex health

problems who need 2a—hour a day support will double within two decades. the researchers calculate that by 2035 there will be nearly 500,000 people aged 85 and over who need round—the—clock care. overall, in the 65—plus age group, more than 1 million will require that high level of support. and the report warns health and care services will have to adapt, because families will struggle. it is going to be more difficult forfamilies, because women are the predominant carers, women are having to work longer, they are taking retirement later. and just at that age they will have maybe an 85—year—old parent who they will have to care for. and sometimes two parents that they will have to care for. the government says it will set out its plans for the future funding of care services this autumn and that it aims to meet

the challenge of a growing ageing population head on. alison holt, bbc news. david bridson is the campaign manager at age uk. thank you very much for coming along. what is the take from age uk on this report? we have got a rapidly growing ageing population and we need to think about that quite seriously. we have to make sure the system is fit and prepared for the future. the report covers 2015 to 2035. if you ta ke report covers 2015 to 2035. if you take it from now we are talking about 16 and 17 years in the future, about 16 and 17 years in the future, a relatively short time. many voices have been saying for quite a long time that the health and social care budget is under severe strain. we are at the cliff edge, it is a crisis. what do you want from the

government at this point? we need some immediate funding. there is a 2.5 billion gap in providing the basic level of support people need. that is right now. basic level, what are we talking about? getting dressed, washed in the morning, eating food, the basics that people need to get by on a day—to—day basis in stock1.a need to get by on a day—to—day basis in stock 1.4 million people across the country do not get that currently. what do you want from the government? the government is coming out with a set of proposals in a green paper. we need to make sure that these address the key issues we hear from that these address the key issues we hearfrom older that these address the key issues we hear from older people, that these address the key issues we hearfrom older people, making that these address the key issues we hear from older people, making sure they get the care and support they need, making sure the workforce is robust enough to cope with this. if we look at the stats from the report todayit we look at the stats from the report today it will double in the next 20 yea rs today it will double in the next 20 years and we need to make sure the system years and we need to make sure the syste m ca n years and we need to make sure the system can cope with that. the system can cope with that. the system cannot cope currently. we need to make sure the system is funded now and properly invested in.

we need a radical change to make sure that we can cope with the numbers we are going to be seeing. if you say there are 1.4 million currently elderly with not met needs and extrapolate from this that it might double, how much realistically do you think people will be relying on care from family members if they have those family members living close enough and they are able themselves to do it? right now we are seeing a lot of unpaid carers who are looking after partners or their adult children are looking after parents and they are putting a lot of time and effort into looking after theirfamilies lot of time and effort into looking after their families and they are at breaking point. we have heard politicians say families are not doing enough. we spoke to people in the siege situations themselves and they are getting very little support to do that kind of role. what we needin to do that kind of role. what we need in future is to look at that unpaid workforce and see how we can support them best. it is worrying about what they need and how we need

to support them. one of the report authors were saying we need to look at more innovative ideas such as multi—generational living, or people living not in care homes per se, but living not in care homes per se, but living in their own homes back together as a community with carers being shared around people. is age uk doing any work on that? what are your thoughts on that? we have done a piece of work looking at five different countries around the world from japan and france to see what they are doing. they have done radical changes over the past couple of years to make sure their system is fit for purpose. some provide free care, some provide care where families are more involved. we are looking at different models, but we are hoping that this green paper will come out with a good and fair dealfor people to will come out with a good and fair deal for people to get the care they need. thank you very much. police have arrested a man in connection with the fatal

stabbings of two women in solihull. raneem 0udeh and her mother, khaola saleem, were attacked on bank holiday monday. a 21—year—old man was detained in the sparkhill area of birmingham, as tom burridge reports. this video posted on facebook appears to show the 21—year—old man arrested late last night on a residential street in the sparkhill area of birmingham. on monday police issued this photo of janbaz tarin. he was wanted in connection with a double murder in a quiet cul—de—sac in solihull. two women were stabbed to death here in the early hours of monday morning. one of the victims was janbaz tarin's ex—girlfriend, raneem 0udeh. the other, her mother, a9—year—old khaloa saleem. we know miss 0udeh made a number of 999 calls on the evening she was killed. she was on the phone to police when she was stabbed. tom burridge, bbc news.

london's new multi—billion pound east—west railway crossrail will miss its december opening date. services through central london will not begin until autumn next year. a spokesman for the project said the new line requires extensive testing, so they've had to push back the opening date. the full crossrail line, which will be known as the elizabeth line, runs from reading and heathrow in the west to shenfield and abbey wood in the east of the capital. there's no date yet for when the whole line will open. our business correspondent theo leggettjoins me now. perhaps worth reminding us all of the history of this project to date, going on for around a decade. the history of this project to date, going on for around a decadem the history of this project to date, going on for around a decade. it was started in 2009. there was a lot of discussion before it even got started, but this is a huge project. the budget is around £15 billion, 600 million more than it was

expected to cost. there is 26 miles of tunnels, ten new stations, it is integrating three signalling systems, there is old infrastructure and new infrastructure and it has all got to be turned into one unit, the elizabeth line. it is not surprising that it goes over budget or overtime with a project of that scale. we were told it would be ready on time, so perhaps a mistake of those involved in the project. yes, the people involved in the project have said it would come in on time and budget, but they have run out of time. they need time to finish the tunnels, install all the systems that have to go into them, the signalling systems, the software, and do extensive testing before it is considered safe for passengers. they do not have enough time to do that, so rather than opening the central section in december it has been pushed back to autumn next year. what are the key

reasons behind the delay? lord adonis told us earlier it was down to problems with leadership. there is an element of that potentially and an element of complexity in the project. three signalling systems have to be integrated, there is new and old infrastructure, there is computer software. how many times have we seen computer systems not do what they are supposed to do when they are first introduced? all of this has to be put into place and the system has to be tested and that seems to have taken time. police in amsterdam say two people have been wounded in a stabbing incident at the city's central station. a suspect has been shot and wounded. train services were stopped from entering and leaving the station. dutch police say an investigation is underway. frank field, who resigned the labour whip yesterday, has said he will consider over the next few days whether to step down as an mp and trigger a by—election in birkenhead. mr field has described the party as a "force for anti—semitism"

and said his local constituency party was now governed by "a culture of intolerance, nastiness and intimidation". it is a big enough step to have to resign the whip. as things settle down from that, i will have a decision on whether to have a by—election and whether it is proper for me. people on birkenhead will come up to me in the street to see if they want me to have a by—election or not. in a statement from his office last night, thanking me for my membership of the labour party, as though i was resigning from a whist club. i have been in the party longer than jeremy corbyn has. i have been in the party longer than jeremy corbyn has. but i am grateful for his thanks. derby north mp chris williamson is an ally ofjeremy corbyn and has criticised frank field's actions. he has obviously lost the confidence of his members and he is now

getting his excuses in, it seems to me, and throwing around grotesque slurs which have no basis in reality. that is a very regrettable end to frank's long career in the house of commons. a littler earlier our political correspondent jonathan blake sent this update. he spoke to the labour mpjohn man who has been critical of the labour pa rty‘s stance who has been critical of the labour party's stance on anti—semitism. bradfield's decision to resign from the parliamentary labour party has exposed the division within the party. some are criticising his decision, saying he wasjumped before he was pushed and has been looking for an excuse to resign for some time. 0thers looking for an excuse to resign for some time. others are saying it is a wake—up call and that he did this out of a position of principal. we can speak to the labour mpjohn mann whojoins us. tell us can speak to the labour mpjohn mann who joins us. tell us first of all what your reaction was when you heard of frank field's decision to resign. it is always a shock, but no

surprise. frank has been bullied, harangued and harassed for some considerable time and his view is he is from a christian socialist tradition that formed the labour party and he will not stand for it. he has told his local party that and he has now told the national party that, that he will not have this. you have got to give great respect to somebody who is prepared to be that open and honest. it is a courageous step by him. let's see what happens next. some have criticised him for voting with the government and for not towing the party line in parliament. what do you make of that? brad did not vote with the government, he voted with his constituents and with the labour vote rs his constituents and with the labour voters in the north of england and he voted for brexit. that is not popular amongst many in the parliamentary labour party, but

amongst labour voters in the north and the midlands, the vast majority of labour voters voted to leave the european union and since then frank, there has been a very nasty, vicious campaign targeting him, harassing him, led by people close to the labour leadership, an appalling political misjudgement. what that is saying is, if you are a labour voter who voted to leave the european union, we do not want your vote. that is the danger of frank going. jeremy corbyn should be on the phone, should be going round to see frank, persuading him to come back in today. frank field has always been a maverick mp and has always faced criticism from some parts of the labour party. why do you think he has taken this decision now? frank is an ethical man and he goes on his christian, socialist values. jonathan sacks' comments have particularly worried frank. john

mann, mp, talking tojonathan blake. the headlines on bbc news... the number of people aged 85 and over needing round the clock care is set to double by 2035. experts warn of a looming crisis. police investigating the stabbings of a mother and daughter in solihull arrest a 21—year—old man. the launch of london s new crossrail line is postponed until autumn next year, nine months late. some more sports news for you now. england have got a couple of wickets this morning against england. stuart broad with the wicket of kl rahul. india are still some way behind. sam curran yesterday made 78, leading a

and sports clubs across the country. politicians called the abuse a national tragedy and demanded the church undergo wholesale change. desperate to regain trust, religious leaders have accepted all but one of the government's recommendations, that priests should be forced to report abuse revealed during confession. they argue it would do little to prevent crime and destroy one of the fundamental tenets of theirfaith. if someone comes to me anonymously and confesses to abusing a child, without identifying the victim, what am i supposed to do? most people would say go to the police. and say to the police someone whose name i do not know, who is anonymous, has confessed to abusing a child, the identity of whom i don't know either. where does that lead us? two australian states have already made failure to report abuse a crime which many believe will lead to widespread prosecution. the decision to reject

the recommendation comes amid a tumultuous week for the catholic church as pressure builds on pope francis to assure people that abusers within its ranks are held to account. in ireland he spoke of appalling crimes and asks for forgiveness from those who had suffered. high—ranking clergy in australia say they will reform in other areas such as relaxing rules on celibacy, but their determination to maintain the seal of confession and uphold vatican law above all else will no doubt lead to inevitable conflict between church and state. stars from the world of music have marked the life of aretha franklin in a tribute concert in detroit ahead of her funeral this afternoon. gladys knight, the four tops and angie stone were among those who took to the stage to honour the "queen of soul", as chris buckler reports.

in detroit, they paid tribute to a voice that may never be matched. but to honour aretha franklin, they tried as hard as they could. music has long been a part of this city and aretha was its own queen of soul. at a concert on the eve of her funeral, they celebrated her exactly as she would have wanted. it was very important for me to come here tonight because aretha meant so much to us, i am so happy she didn't forget about her home detroit and she really showed us the love that she has for us and she gave back to us and ijust wanted to be supportive and show my respect to the queen of soul. she gives me feeling. she gives me soul. she lifts me up when i am down, that is what she means to me. at the new bethel baptist church where herfather once preached, thousands have gathered throughout this week.

some have travelled thousands of miles to join the long queues in order to see aretha franklin lying here, in an open golden casket. she looked like a queen, that is the word for her. the quen of soul. it is such an honour to be here today. it was at this church where she first started to sing. but her performances soon captivated america and the world. her songs became anthems and were adopted by campaigners during a time when many were fighting in this country for equality and civil rights. it is a real, real painful feeling and yet a rejoiceful feeling. she loved her church, she loved her father, she loved the people. and to have her come here in the last time in this manner, it sends all of us to know that all the times she has been here, this is indeed a lifetime. this is indeed the last time.

later today, former president bill clinton and the singer smokey robinson are due to join mourners in a six hour invitation—only funeral, the organisers said they wanted it to be upbeat and joyous with more musical tributes from the likes of stevie wonder and ariana grande. little in aretha franklin's life was anything less than spectacular, and in death, little is proving any different. and that is the simple reason why aretha franklin will be remembered long after today. chris buckler, bbc news. nada tawfik is in detroit and joins now. she is outside the greater grace temple where the funeral will take place in a few hours. before we talk about the service, let's reflect on the week of tributes to aretha franklin that we have seen, including that big concert last night. yes, it all started earlier

in the week with a gospel concert at the baptist church where she began her career and where her father first preached. then it went into some very first preached. then it went into some very public viewings were fans came from all across the country to pay their respects to her and view her one last time. then again in that tribute concert. what we have seen through all of these events is the gratitude, the love, the respect with which aretha franklin is held here in this country and across the world. they were celebrating not just her musical genius, but also her life as an activist, playing a deep role in the civil rights movement and the part she played also in the women's rights movement, empowering so many women with who she was and what she was able to accomplish. we heard chris mention a few other details of what is planned

for the six—hour funeral service later. tell us more about it. well, iam here later. tell us more about it. well, i am here outside the grace temple church and i can tell you already fa ns church and i can tell you already fans are lined up. some got here as early as two o'clock in the morning local time to try to get one of the thousand tickets that are available for them to go inside. this is really going to be a tribute that has left no detail, no stone unturned, in the planning of this event. there are going to be very powerful tributes spoken from leaders such as president bill clinton, her close friend smokey robinson, and also some star—studded performances from the likes of stevie wonder, chapter khan, even p0p stevie wonder, chapter khan, even pop stars like ariana grande and jennifer hudson who is supposed to be playing aretha franklin in an upcoming biopic. 0f be playing aretha franklin in an upcoming biopic. of course there will be the religious sermons, a

eulogy by the same reverend who gave the eulogy at her father's funeral. here on the street where i can they are expecting pink cadillacs to line the way one her casket finally takes its journey to the cemetery. the pink cadillacs is a nod to her son freeway 0f pink cadillacs is a nod to her son freeway of love. thank you very much. when you're 250 miles above the earth, travelling at five miles a second, even a tiny hole can cause a world of problems. so an astronaut on the international space station has come up with a low—tech solution to a worrying loss of air pressure. the crew has been dealing with a leak, probably caused by a collision with a fragment from a meteorite. german astronaut alexander gerst has tried to plug the two—millimetre problem with duct tape. mission control says the crew of six is in no danger. earlier i spoke to professor monica grady — a space scientist who specialises

in meteorites, and began by asking her whther events like this are a frequent problem for the iss. yes, it is. everything up there is hit by these grains that are whizzing through space. they are about the size of a grain of sand and if you think they cannot do much damage, they can because they are travelling so fast. 70,000 miles an hour, something like that. when they hit the space station there is a possibility of a tiny little hole opening up. when you are travelling along a road and a stone chipping comes up along a road and a stone chipping comes up and chips your windscreen, it isa comes up and chips your windscreen, it is a bit like that only smaller and moving faster. we understand that this tiny hole, it was discovered because of a drop in pressure on board the iss. were the crew in any danger at that point or

would it have been inevitable that it would have been discovered very quickly? it was inevitable it would be discovered. the crew was not in danger. the space station is bristling with detectors, every section of the station has oxygen monitors or atmosphere monitors, and it was found very quickly. then it was fixed relatively quickly as well. the crew were never in any danger. we are reminded of that old story of the little dutch boy putting his finger in the dam to stop the water flooding through. picture an astronaut putting their finger over this tiny hole and putting effectively duct tape over it. the main repair, will that be quite easy? i don't know to be honest. at the moment there is this epoxy glue, they shoved a bit of calm over the surface and held it in place with some tape. part of the space station where the leak is is

the capsule that three of the astronauts will be coming back down to earth in in december. i am not sure whether this temporary fix will be good enough to actually keep the whole thing sealed during the descent into the earth's atmosphere. mission control at houston and mission control at houston and mission control at moscow are talking to each other to decide what the best way forward is. at the moment they will not do anything else, they will leave it in place and monitor it. i suspect before this part of the mission ends in december there will have to be a different, more robust repair. it is time for a look at the weather. how are things looking for the weekend? things actually don't look too bad.

but this sort it felt like autumn. some places in the scottish highlands got down to below freezing. but it will turn warmer by day and by night and with dre whether. as we go through this evening and overnight that clive rowe is way further eastwards across wales, into western scotland, misty and murky conditions, but a much milder night in the west. fairly cool in eastern parts of england. that is where we will start tomorrow with the best of the sunshine. 0ur west there is always more in the way of cloud. but for most it will be dry. temperatures between 18—2a. it could get to 25 or 26 in the south east on sunday. by tuesday it is mostly dry. this is bbc news.

our latest headlines: a new study suggests the number of people aged 85 and over needing 2a—hour care is set to double by 2035. an expert warns the care system is at "breaking point". veteran mp frank field says he's considering triggering a by—election in his birkenhead constituency, after he resigned the labour whip over the leadership's handling of anti—semitism allegations. london's new crossrail line will launch next autumn and not in december as scheduled.

transport for london says more time is needed "to ensure a safe and reliable railway for customers." police investigating the murder of a mother and daughter in the west midlands have arrested a 21—year—old man. the two women were found stabbed to death outside their home in solihull on monday. an astronaut on the international space station has had to plug an air leak with his finger and use duct tape to repair it, after it was hit by a micro—meteorite. and still to come on newsroom live: the blackpool illuminations return for another year. more now on our main story and that warning the care system in england is at breaking point with a new study predicting there'll be nearly twice as many people over 85 needing full—time help in the next 20 years. the authors of the report in the lancet warn that relying on informal carers, such as family members, is not a long—term solution.

our health reporter laurel ives explained in more detail the challenges facing the health and social sector. a/85 —year—old is the fastest—growing demographic now in the country and many of those 85—year—olds will actually need round—the—clock care by 2035, almost double in fact, and almost a 3rd of august 65—year—olds also need round—the—clock care. august 65—year—olds also need round-the-clock care. this has become a hot political issue for the government. in june, become a hot political issue for the government. injune, they did announce a big funding rise for the nhs, an increase of 20 billion per year by 2023. what we don't yet know is how much of this money will be devoted to social care. but they have promised that by the autumn there will be a new report and they will set out their plans on how to reform this. 0bviously, will set out their plans on how to reform this. obviously, there is a looming crisis ahead with so many elderly people needing so much care.

and the report mentions, as we said in the introduction, that family members can't necessarily be relied on to give that care. many family members might be working longer themselves who might otherwise have given that care. the report highlights some interesting differences between men and women in this respect. absolutely. actually, what they found is that men, as they get older, are more likely to remain independent. women, on the other hand, will spend almost half of their remaining life with low dependency needs, help with things like physical activity and daily needs. this is because they suffer from more long—term disabling conditions like arthritis or obesity related conditions, and the researchers were keen to point out that it researchers were keen to point out thatitis researchers were keen to point out that it is really important that women in particular really focus on maintaining muscle mass and staying fit and healthy into their later yea rs. fit and healthy into their later years. so it's good that more people are living longer, but not necessarily any scenario where they're completely necessarily any scenario where they‘ re completely independent necessarily any scenario where they're completely independent of

they're completely independent of the need for assistance and care. what does all of this say about the investment that needs to go into health and social care? and i'm talking both on policy level and then also on personal level, personal responsibility for diet, exercise. yes. well, ithink personal responsibility for diet, exercise. yes. well, i think what researchers were keen and age uk also identifies today, is that there will be much more complexity needs for social care going forward and the government really needs to think about those joined up the government really needs to think about thosejoined up needs in its autumn green paper, but similarly individuals can really follow health guidelines and really help themselves by eating sensibly, exercising, not drinking too much, trying to stay as fit and healthy as they possibly can into old age. 0ur health reporter. earlier i discussed the report findings in more detail with one of the report authors — dr caroljagger — who is also professor of ageing at newcastle university and also nadra ahmed — executive chair at the national care association. the important thing from this study

is that it includes the health of people who are going to be joining the older population, and so we are not inferring what will happen. we have a real health profile. and so it is more realistic of what will happen if there are into preventative measures put into place. sold more investment needed in preventing dependency? yes. and nadra ahmed, i know last year you we re nadra ahmed, i know last year you were talking about is being beyond a crisis in health and social care. in fa ct, crisis in health and social care. in fact, standing at the very cliff edge, so were do you hope this report will do in terms of informing policy debate? well, i think the very important thing about this debate is that it actually highlights the role of informal ca re rs highlights the role of informal carers and how much contribution is going into the system from the people who are being forced into a situation which they would not like

to be in, which is having to care for people without the skills and the knowledge and the experience of doing so. it's looking at the relationships they currently have and how they then become carers, and what that brings with it. sol and how they then become carers, and what that brings with it. so i think that has an impact on their health as well, and i think this report is very good at highlighting that's. as well, and i think this report is very good at highlighting that'sm who looks after the carers, can we rely on carers, those are big questions. also i guess carers are increasingly having to work potentially longer in otherjobs themselves, and therefore aren't free to necessarily give this round the clock care that the reporters talking about. absolutely. anything thatis talking about. absolutely. anything that is a huge challenge because we are looking at families. we know that the country but i get is increasing. we know that people cannot always afford not to be working. and people are working longer. so we are heavily reliant on

people caring, friends and neighbours, which is not right. it's not right to be in that position. where a state is not able to offer help and support. there isn't even that sort of community support that we we re so that sort of community support that we were so used to. we don't have the same sort of linkage with general practitioners. we don't have listed nurses. we don't have meals on wheels clubs in local communities. it's all being disbanded on the basis that people should be looked after more at home, and this is government policy. if we we re and this is government policy. if we were going to do that, we needed to create a sustainable network where people would be supported. so if we have ta ken all of people would be supported. so if we have taken all of that away and then we are now looking at it and saying actually... sorry, i didn't mean to interrupt your train of thought, but i was keen to bring drjagger back into this discussion. your report says that the health profiles of ub younger people coming through shows that they will not only have multiple conditions as they get older, but a greater number of

conditions, and i wonder are you saying in your research that's at a policy level preventative measures haven't worked, or is it down to personal responsibility, people making personal decisions about their diet, about whether the exercise or not? yeah, i think there isa exercise or not? yeah, i think there is a lot to do with personal responsibility, trying to maintain your health. but the ageing process is such that we can stop all of it. and the extensions of life. meaning that we get to age 85 and over and the moral is to have multiple conditions because all of these conditions, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dementia, are strongly age—related. age is the strongest risk factor. and nadra ahmed, you have spoken already about the strains placed on people who are caring ina

strains placed on people who are caring in a more informal way. body of the government to do? we know that in the autumn the government is due to publish new plans to look at health and social care, but what would you like to see the government to? well, i think they need to recognise that they need to invest, and they need to invest in many ways, it's notjust the financial investment. the make do and mend scenarios are not going to work. short, sharp fixes are not going to work. social care needs to be seen asa work. social care needs to be seen as a priority, and they need to think about how we're going to spread the message about where we need to be, because i think it really honest with the public can we say this is what we can do and this is we can't do then i think the public will start to take responsibility. as it stands, but the public is promises that you will have everything, and actually we can't pay for it. that doesn't work. so it's not only about throwing money at it. it's about creating the

image of social care. that is akin to the balance of the nhs and how important social care is. aligned with the nhs, not as an add—on or an also—ran. we are absolutely at that point and ministers need to start talking about social care, not ignoring it. and drjagger, do you think we are also talking about entering into the realms of people taking more financial responsibility where they can party in their old age? do you think that's a direction that the government might end up going in, given that we know the stated —— we know the stringy but it has been under for quite some time. yes, i think that is a sensible move if people can afford it, but there are innovative solutions to housing and well and call housing and people being able to share care workers perhaps. so there are things that one can look at because families are

becoming more dispersed and we can't a lwa ys becoming more dispersed and we can't always rely on our family to be close enough to be able to care for us. let's get more now on the delay to london's new multi—billion pound east—west railway crossrail which will miss its december opening date. with me now is geoff marshall — he is a video producer for the londonist. also recently finished travelling to every single train station in the uk. and it was one of these open days that you went along to that you got a clue, an early clue that crossrail might not open as scheduled. yes, is back in the summer they were having days with the public could come in and have a look at the amazing construction work. we went to whitechapel and then we were told that dates for bond street and paddington weren't going to happen and there was speculation then back injune or july that it was because work was behind and that's why the open days

weren't happening. those were the early clues. so what's your view on this announcement? well, i'm here to sit on the fence and give a balanced view because i think so many people labelled as kind of shock their shoulders and go, 0k, there's a new railway coming and it is coming a little bit later. i came in on a train just now and people weren't angry, they were just being train just now and people weren't angry, they werejust being regular commuters going about their business. you think we will be frustrated that because they haven't had it yet so they don't know what they're missing, in effect? yes, this is not like something is being taken away. it is just being delayed. i have spoken to people and they don't even know what the blue recordings are. and we very much to did acknowledge that there are people who require access or who have changed jobs and made life decisions based upon this and will now be very frustrated that it is being delayed. what are you hearing about the reasons for this delay? the press release is not very detailed. it says that more time is

needed for adequate checks and for things to be in place. surely ultimately, as frustrating as it is for those who are frustrated, has got to be the ultimate thing. better for it to be in place and ready a com plete for it to be in place and ready a complete and safe rather than to rush it out in a hurryjust to meet that deadline. yet somewhere between next year and when it does open and i don't know when the decision was made to delay the opening, at some point the timetable has slipped because the people behind crossrail we re because the people behind crossrail were saying it would open on schedule, the delay? yes. but remember that the construction has been handed over to dfl because they we re been handed over to dfl because they were operating as the elizabeth line, so there have been two separate parties there, and somewhere in the transferral maybe someone is realise that things aren't going to be ready. but i think people only realised literally in the last month or two, so it's quite a recent thing. ok. thank you very much. the headlines on bbc news:

42—year—old man and a woman who is 36 both made their first appearance here at the old bailey, charged with female genital mutilation. for legal reasons, we can't name them, but they do live in east london and both are from west and east africa. the man is from ghana, the woman a ugandan national. the appearance was brief, just lasting under half an hour. both confirmed their names and both pleaded not guilty to all of the charges they are facing. they are facing two counts of female genital mutilation involving a three—year—old girl who had happened in august last year. they have both pleaded not guilty to those offences and they are also facing several pornography charges. again, they have pleaded not guilty to those charges as well. female genital mutilation has been banned in the uk for more than 30 years. it was made illegal back in 1985. but it's believed thousands of women and young girls are still at risk of female genital mutilation here in the uk every year. the maximum

penalty for this kind of offence is 14 years in prison. there have been two unsuccessful prosecutions before this, one earlier this year, which was heard here in london, and other in bristol back in 2013. both defendants today have been remanded in custody. a trial date for the fgm charges has been set for the 14th of january next year and the pornography charges trial will be heard in february next year as well. the casket carrying the late senator john mccain has arrived in washington where he will lie in state ahead of a funeral service at washington's national cathedral on saturday. former presidents george w bush and barack 0bama, each of whom defeated mccain in their races for the white house, will offer their tributes. earlierfamily, friends and political rivals held a memorial service in arizona, as andy beatt reports. people lined the streets in arizona

planned. my name's joe biden. i'm a democrat. and i love john mccain. and for this former vice president and political opponent, his character mattered more than the differences. john's story is an american story. that's not hyperbole. it sounds like it. it's the american story, grounded in respect, indecency, basic fairness. the intolerance and the abuse of power. but this was not the end of the tributes. from arizona, john mccain's body was flown to washington. a tricky made countless times during his lifetime. he's been

given the rare honour of having his body lie in state at the us capital ahead of a service at the washington national cathedral this weekend his fellow republican but political nemesis donald trump has not been invited. but barack 0bama and george w bush will both give eulogies, a sign thatjohn mccain often overcame america's political divide to earn respect on both sides of it. the time is 12.50. the diy retailer homebase faces a showdown with landlords in a make or break day that could decide its fate. the chain has proposed a rescue plan that involves closing a2 stores, and cutting the rent on others. but some landlords plan to vote against the deal. the owners of homebase say that without an agreement, it's very likely that the firm, which has over 11,000 staff,

will go into administration. administrators will take over the running of wonga today, after the short—term lender lost its battle to stay afloat. despite a £10 million cash injection from shareholders last month, the firm said yesterday that it was no longer accepting new applications for loans. its demise follows a surge in compensation claims, amid a government clampdown on payday lenders. the uk's biggest coffee chain costa is to be sold to coca cola in a £3.9 billion deal. costa is currently owned by the british pub and restaurant giant whitbread, which also owns premier inn and beefeater. earlier, our business correspondent vishala sri pathma said it was another sign of sugary drink companies looking to diversify. we are alla we are all a lot more healthy these days. there is a wellness trend which means that we are drinking smoothies and juices, so we saw last week that pixie. soda stream, for example, to move into that

health—conscious market, and this is a sort of move by coca—cola to diversify its offering away from fizzy drinks into hot drinks. costa will be its first hot beverage brand. and will there be a difference in the look of costa or the products that it offers to customers currently? presumably not. today we saw that whitbread, the previous owners of costa, its share price went up quite significantly by 17%. whitbread is on for its hotels. it owns premier lodge, marriot hotels, soap coffee doesn't quite fit into the logic there. yes, so why did they want to sell? it has been on the cards for quite a while, so under their chief executive, alisson brittain, they were looking to get rid of it. but this offer was clearly too good to refuse and they

found themselves making this deal and that is why we have seen the share price go up quite considerably in that markets were taken by surprise. they did not anticipate this move to happen so quickly. have you ever been told to turn off lights at home because "it looks like the blackpool illuminations"? tonight's the night that the actual illuminations are being switched on for another season. the tradition has been lighting up the seaside town for over a century. tim muffett has more. blackpool. for 52 nights a year, an off—peak bonanza for the electricity board. blackpool's illuminations still draw in the crowd. we bring between 3.5 and 4 million visitors to the town every year. they spend over £230 million in our economy. it extends the season. illuminations is when the other traditional seaside resorts are closing down for the winter,

blackpool carries on. after the second world war, we saw a meteoric rise in the scale and the ambition of what the illuminations has become. in a world of digital entertainment, how do you make the illuminations something which people actually want to come to come to see? the model is that you must have nostalgia, but you must always give them something new. we have individual programmable leds in there. each one can do 16 million different colours, so it's painting by light. wow. a very famous switch, first used in 1934. some very famous hands have pulled it, haven't they? yes, george formby, stanley matthews, jane mansfield have all pulled it, just to name a few.

when you throw that, voltage goes through there which flicks a relay through there, which will attain other relay, and then the lights come on. how many lamps have to be tested? 500,000. that's a lot of testing. just to make sure all the lights go on at the same time. in total, around one million lamps are used. there is more than 100 miles of festooned lighting chained to poles and lamp posts. every year, you have to change half a million lamps. yes. the sea salt rots all this and they get sort of wet inside and just rust. take your lamp, insert, twist, and that's a lamp in. so it's a massive job, but it's rewarding at the end of it when you see people coming to the lights and enjoying it. forget the down on one knee at the eiffel tower, or in front of the trevi fountain — this marriage proposal was ‘udderly‘ romantic. aberdeenshire farmer

rain. high—pressure holds firm across eastern areas and this is the sort of weather setup that will bring us some warmer air from the cells. so temperatures climbing through the weekend by day and by night. it will be mostly dry with a little bit of sunshine. the best of that in southern and eastern parts. through the afternoon, many places dry but remember those fronts. we will see one bringing extra cloud and rain into the far west of cornwall. the jabber is not com pletely cornwall. the jabber is not completely out of the question, but for much of england and wales, we will see sunny skies and a bit of patchy cloud. for northern ireland, that extra cloud rolls in. some of that extra cloud rolls in. some of that getting into the far west of scotland. turning breezy here as well. the further east you are, holding on to sunny skies. and then we go through this evening and tonight and this week front will make a little bit more progress across northern ireland and western scotla nd across northern ireland and western scotland and into wales and the south—west. but in those western areas, a much, much milder night.

belfast and plymouth holding up at 14 belfast and plymouth holding up at 1a celsius. still on the cool side across eastern parts of england, but that's where we'll start tomorrow with the best of the sunshine. we will keep some sunny skies across eastern and southern parts. misty, market conditions for coasts and heels with the odd spot of drizzle. for the most part, it will stay dry. what about the temperatures as well? continuing to climb. high teens in scotland. 23 having 24 celsius across the south—east corner and you might add a degree to that as we get into sunday. against themselves of sunshine. certainly more cloud into northern ireland and western scotla nd northern ireland and western scotland and some heavier rain at this stage. but temperatures up into the 20s just about everywhere. another warm day on monday but we will see some rain pushing south—eastwards, and then as we head to the rest of the week it will actually stay mostly dry. fresh allegations of poor treatment are to be investigated at an nhs trust already undergoing a review of maternity care. more than a dozen extra cases are now to be looked at
