today at 5.00. labour's ruling body tries to resolve the long—running dispute about the party's definition of anti—semitism. there were demonstrations outside, as senior figures considered whether to adopt in full, the definition set by the international holocaust remembrance alliance. i'll make no secret of my view that we should have the full definition, the ihra definition, into our document. i've obviously said that over the summer. i hope that's what the nec does. we'll have the latest from the meeting, and we'll have the result of the vote if it comes in the next hour. the other main stories on bbc news at 5. the tsb boss paul pester has resigned, after the it problems that left customers locked out of their accounts. one of the strongest typhoons to hitjapan in 25 years has claimed several lives, and injured over 160. how old is your heart?

public health england urges people to take an online test to find out, it could indicate if you're at an increased risk of a heart attack or stroke. every film—maker hopes their movie does well but this is beyond every expectation. and, the box office hit featuring an all—asian cast, we'll be hearing from the stars of crazy rich asians, about their ground—breaking film. it's 5 o'clock. our main story is that rival groups of demonstrators, have been staging protests outside labour's headquarters in london, where members of the ruling national executive committee are considering changing the party's policy, on anti—semitism. they're set to decide

later this afternoon, whether or not to adopt in full the definition set by the international holocaust remembrance alliance, it's an issue which has divided the party and tested jeremy corbyn‘s leadership. jewish groups, trade union leaders and many labour mps have urged the party to change its stance. 0ur political correspondent chris mason is at labour party headquarters in london. these demonstrations outside labour's headquarters today underline just how controversial and emotional the party's position on anti—semitism has become. the task forjeremy corbyn is to detoxify a row that has raged all summer. labour's ruling national executive is meeting this afternoon to look again at how the party tackles the issue. jeremy corbyn‘s deputy says labour should accept in full all the examples of anti—semitism set out by the international holocaust rememberance alliance.

well, i make no secret of my view that we should have the full ihra definition into our document. i've obviously said that over the summer. i hope that that is what the nec does. that includes every example? every example of anti—semitism, so that we can be very clear that we are serious about tackling anti—semitism both in the labour party and in wider society. so what is at issue? back injuly, labour's national executive accepted an international definition of anti—semitism which makes it clear it is a form of racism. but it angered jewish mps and many in the wider community when it didn't incorporate into a new code of conduct four of the accompanying 11 examples of anti—semitic behaviour. that is, accusing people of being more loyal to israel than their own country. expecting higher standards of behaviour from israel than other nations. and comparing israeli policies to the nazis. labour says it has simply reworded and in some cases strengthened these examples.

but one example, claiming israel's existence as a state is a racist endeavour, was resisted byjeremy corbyn and his supporters as they felt this would restrict the free speech of palestinians in particular. tensions are still running high here and under pressure, it looks as though labour's ruling national executive will agree to accept all the internationally defined examples of anti—semitism. but it's also likely that they will make crystal clear that party members should be free to criticise the government of israel as long as there is no other evidence of anti—semitic intent. some in thejewish committee say there is no need for any caveats. it would be helpful of course if critics were to actually read what the definition says. i actually think that the examples in the definition are very helpful on that very point, what it says is that it is not anti—semitic to have criticism of israel if the standards are applied are the same as to any other country. it is only about doing things

in a common—sense fashion. labour hope to defuse the row that has dominated the summer but it still has the capacity to damage the party's reputation. iain watson, bbc news. let's go live to labour headquarters and our correspondent chris mason. is there any sign of any white smoke yet? the short answer to that is known. this meeting got under way at 1:30pm, the discussion specifically around anti—semitism because there we re around anti—semitism because there were other items on the agenda for labour's ruling national executive committee got under way at 1:45pm. realistically given the row over the summer realistically given the row over the summer it was always likely to last longer than half an hour. the meeting is still going on. we've

been trying to pick up little titbits of information as to what going on when individual members pop out to go for a cigarette, sandwich oi’ out to go for a cigarette, sandwich or coffee. i'd won't claim to have a full picture of what's going on, but it would appear a discussion and debate is going on about whether the party should adopt in full the international definition of anti—semitism we heard tom watson talking about, or whether there should be some caveats. it looks like some on the left of the party are willing to engage with the idea of accepting the definition. still some, it would seem, want to insert some, it would seem, want to insert some caveats. that's the essence of the conversation. as yet no sign of any pink lesion. we are told as soon asa any pink lesion. we are told as soon as a decision is reached, they will come and tell us. as yet no sign of that white smoke. just a sense of

the balance of opinion. we heard tom watson repeating his you that the definition should be accepted in full. your sense of the balance of opinion and where it may like today? i think what we've got today is an argument between some who are making the case that given the volume and ferocity of the row surrounding anti—semitism over the summer within the labour party, and crucially for some the opportunity cost of that i’ow. some the opportunity cost of that row. the fact it has drowned up the opportunity for the labour party to be heard talking about anything else, versus some who feel the international definition reduces the capacity for legitimate criticism of the israeli government. particularly those who are very passionate about the cause of the palestinians. in terms of how it has broken down this afternoon, the honest answer is we simply don't know. what we've heard

from those who have come out and briefed us privately is that there is still some division between those who would say we need to be seen to be doing something concrete and the most concrete expression of that is the sign on the dotted line for that international definition without any caveat. still some others making the argument and still want to see some caveats inserted. hopefully it won't go on too long into this evening for us go on too long into this evening for us to discover exactly how the balance of that argument has shaped up balance of that argument has shaped up around the table. thank you. any result and we will be there straightaway. gideon falter is chairman of the charity campaign against anti—semitism, which has been critical of labour's handling of the issue, he is here with me now. any outcome which involves caveats

for this definition, for you, would be unacceptable? absolutely. this is a real insight into the mindset of people around jeremy corbyn that this has gone on for so long. this definition has been adopted around the world, throughout the uk by the cps and also organisation seen as quite closely aligned with the labour party such as the national union of students. all of them is found away to adopt the international definition without any caveat. here we are with the labour party, two yea rs caveat. here we are with the labour party, two years after the government adopted the definition, four hours into a meeting about whether or not to do it after a whole summer of pressure and yet they still can't seem to find a consensus to do this. there is a line which i've picked up time and again from some labour spokespeople who have got equally strong views about this and it goes to the heart of what we are discussing. labour saying that without contextualisation, the line could

curb legitimate criticism of the policies of israel and the israeli state. if it is the case people perceive that legitimate criticism to be stifled in some way, do you at least acknowledge that is a valid concern? no, because the reason the authors of the definition... they we re authors of the definition... they were keen to avert this problem and that's the reason for gaining worldwide acceptance because it includes one sentence which says criticism of israel similar to that levelled at any other state cannot be considered anti—semitism. it also says context is vital. all of these people saying in some way it stifles criticism of israel actually means something else. i think there's something else. i think there's something quite sinister which is that the definition would catch a number of key labour people including jeremy corbyn himself over past actions and statements he's made. we think the real reason for

the resistance to adopting the definition is it would mean the labour party would have to take action against mr corbyn. some people would say that's some amazingly cynical reading. people would say that's some amazingly cynical readingli people would say that's some amazingly cynical reading. i think it's realistic, because what other possible reason is there for them to not adopt the definition? if the cps feels it is robust enough, if the couege feels it is robust enough, if the college of policing which sets policy across all of the uk thinks this definition is so robust they can included in their operational guidance for hate crime policing, then clearly at something the labour party should have no problems with. in fact, the labour party is now alone with ukip in not adopting this definition which should tell everybody what they need to know about this. let's say the vote goes the way you would like which is that it comes out as adopted without any

qualification. is it then a clear run for labour to rebuild its relationship with thejewish community? it would certainly be a good start. there are a lot of problems that need to be dealt with. in the past 2a hours, peter willsman isa in the past 2a hours, peter willsman is a member of the nec and was caught in that appalling rant in whichjeremy corbyn was present while he was shouting thatjews are trump fanatics and falsifying claims of anti—semitism, he's just been re—elected to labour's ruling body. we also heard on the radio this morning, this secret dossier of hate crimes the labour party has concealed from the police and which has now been reported to cressida dick and is being investigated. there's an awful lot the labour party needs to get in order, but getting this definition right without caveats would be a fantastic first step. the problem politically, i suppose, is that this is a

leadership that has stuck to this course of action and they've been facing huge criticism for it. they have stuck to it and i suppose in pure political terms there would be a view inside labour today that they should stick with it again. they really have ta ken should stick with it again. they really have taken knocks on it. to change it now would be too little too late, even for people like you. i think there's a real battle happening within labour. just before the summer happening within labour. just before the summer recess happening within labour. just before the summer recess the plp, or the labour mps the summer recess the plp, or the labourmps barfour the summer recess the plp, or the labour mps bar four voted to adopt the definition without any caveats. there's just no issue with the definition. but for the leadership of the party which is firmly under the control of mr corbyn, it's a huge problem. for example last week we saw frank field, who has spent his life in the labour party, nearly 40 his life in the labour party, nearly a0 yea rs of his life in the labour party, nearly a0 years of the labour mp, he felt

he had to resign the whip because the party he joined which was voraciously anti—racist has now becomes so institutionally anti—semitic he feels he can't take instructions from it more. thank you. if we get an outcome from that meeting we will bring it to you right away. the head of tsb, one of britain's biggest high street banks, has paid the price for its disastrous it switch which led to almost two million customers being locked out out of their accounts. paul pester is stepping down after seven years as the bank's chief executive. he will still walk away with a pay—off worth more than £1.5 million. here's our personal finance correspondent simon gompertz. paul pester was the boss who led millions of tsb customers out of lloyds and into a new independent bank to challenge the big names. triumphant at first but then disaster struck. "i'm sorry" says the boss of tsb.

taken down, tsb's online banking is suspended as it tries to sort technical problems... in april, a major systems upgrade to move customer details over from lloyds fell apart. nearly two million were shut out of their online accounts. some even managed to see other people's account details. at one point, paul pester said the bank was on its knees. it is a big apology for our tsb customers. this is not the service that we want to give them or they should receive from tsb. the most staggering example of a chief executive who seems unwilling to realise the scale of the problem. as the crisis went on, mps laid into him for saying tsb was running smoothly when people were still having trouble using their accounts. i think it is the right decision for paul pester to step down as chief executive of tsb. customers have been hugely inconvenienced for many weeks or even months in the way that the it changeover happened

and how it affected their accounts. paul pester will still get £1.2 million of basic pay he is due for his notice period plus almost £500,000 for bonuses for previous years. a £2 million bonus connected to the upgrade has already been stripped away and any further payments are on hold during the investigations into what went wrong. paul pester was the person in charge when the decision was taken to proceed with the disastrous it upgrade. he was also widely criticised for being complacent afterwards. but tsb has been adamant that he is not being given all the blame, they simply don't want someone at the helm who is distracted by investigations and the blame game. do tsb‘s users, like these in glasgow, think he should have gone? technically, yes, but there are other people to be blamed as well. it is theirjob to make

sure things go right. the computers were haywire but i think it was tight. the talk in the banking world has been when and not if paul pester would lose hisjob. meanwhile, tsb still has work to do. yesterday, its customers had problems using their online accounts yet again. simon gompertz, bbc news. mark carney has said he is willing to stay on as governor of the bank of england if it will help the government to "smooth" the brexit transition. mr carney is due to step down from the role injune 2019, and told the treasury committee that he has been talking to the chancellor about his future. mr carney added that an announcement on his future would be made soon. people over 30 are being urged to take an online test to find out if they are at an increased risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke. almost two million people have already taken the test, and public health england says as many as four out of five of them have hearts which are more damaged

than they should be for their age, as our health correspondent sophie hutchinson reports. heart attacks and strokes kill around 8a,000 people every year in england but the vast majority are preventable, according to public health england. that is why officials want everyone over 30 to complete the online test to assess their heart's health by calculating its age. we know too many people are dying prematurely from heart attacks and strokes. in fact, it is the leading cause of death in men and second—leading cause of death in women. so people taking the online heart age test will allow them to understand what the risk is and, more important, take action on addressing that risk. the test asks 16 questions about health and lifestyle. it also estimates the risk of having a heart attack or stroke. of the two million who have already taken it, 78% had a heart age older than their actual age.

of those, 3a% had hearts more than five years older and ia% had a heart age at least ten years above their age. i know my blood pressure. today, a mobile clinic was out and about offering help with the test. georgina wallace is a2 years old. but the test estimated her heart age is 50. you don't realise the impact of your lifestyle on things like your heart. 0bviously, your heart health is so important. when you see such a statistic, up seven years, eight years older than what you currently are, it does make you really think what else can i change in my life to help my future, keep myself healthier long time. eating more than five portions of fruit and vegetables a day, giving up smoking and exercising all help. the test doesn't give a medical diagnosis. it's a rough guide hoping to encourage people to make vital lifestyle changes.

sophie hutchinson, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news. demonstrations take place as labour's ruling body tries to resolve the long—running, about the party's definition of anti—semitism. the tsb boss paul pester has resigned, after the it problems that left customers locked out of their accounts. one of the strongest typhoons to hitjapan in 25 years has claimed several lives and injured over 160. in sport, scotland aiming tojoin england at next year's women's football world cup. they are taking on albania at the moment and it's currently 1—1. the fulham keeper has been called up to the england squad for matches against switzerland and spain. it's being reported

manchester united manager jose mourinho has reached a deal with spanish authorities on a one—year suspended sentence in a long—running tax case. more on those stories shortly. we are going to get the latest on the debate at the national executive committee of the labour party, because we think there is an outcome from that vote on the party's policy on the definition of anti—semitism. we've just had a statement from the labour party, a spokesperson saying that the national executive committee, the governing body of the labour party has adopted all the exa m ples of labour party has adopted all the examples of anti—semitism in that international definition, in addition to the definition which labour adopted in 2016. the nec

welcomed jeremy corbyn‘s statement to the meeting about action against anti—semitism, solidarity with the jewish community and protection of palestinian rights as an important pa rt palestinian rights as an important part of labour's code of conduct. labour has decided at that meeting of the nac which has been going on all afternoon that they have accepted the full international definition of anti—semitism —— nec. they will hope that that will draw a veil over this row that has rumbled on all summer. i suspect it probably won't because there will be those who still tried to see if there's anything loitering in the past, particularly associated with jeremy corbyn‘s attendance at various meetings going back several years. in terms of the criticism they have received over this internationally accepted definition, they will hope

to have drawn a veil over it, having adopted all of those examples that out in the international definition. for those people justjoining out in the international definition. for those peoplejustjoining us, the nec has been debating for several hours, that ihra definition has been accepted in full and that a nswe i’s has been accepted in full and that answers lots of the demands of people within the labour party and outside. the question for you to address for us is those people who will now question why this wasn't possible several weeks ago. quite. plenty have been saying for some time, why on earth given that this whole question has hovered close to jeremy corbyn, why was the parties are reluctant —— why was the parties

are reluctant —— why was the parties are reluctant —— why was the parties are reluctant not to come to this decision sooner. to what extent was there a heated debate around the table as this meeting was going on and hopefully as people head out from the meeting through those doors will be able to get an answer to that. the argument at the heart of the party over whether or not this definition should be accepted in full was whether it would restrict the ability of campaigners within the ability of campaigners within the labour movement to be able to be as full throated in their criticism of the israeli government as they would like to be. the argument from plenty from outside the party and some from within is that it wouldn't restrict that. you can be as full throated in your criticism of the israeli government has you like as long as it didn't extend into hostility towards the israeli state 01’ hostility towards the israeli state orjewish people. there was debate about whether some caveats should be accepted but there is also a

political debate going on within the labour movement, given the ferocity of the arguments this summer about anti—semitism, that some sort of solution had to be found where the labour movement could say we get the concerns, we understand the anger and will act in a way that proves that. it would appear their decision this afternoon to adopt this definition shows as well as an anger that it wasn't being taken into account, but a political acceptance that this was necessary to try and ensure the labour party can be seen publicly to be talking about other things. all summer this row has been significant in the opportunity cost. the party wanted to talk about plenty of other things and nobody has been listening because the focus has been listening because the focus has been listening because the focus has been on this row, and they will hope this is the beginning of talking about other things. hope this is the beginning of talking about other thingslj hope this is the beginning of talking about other things. i think we can see mr corbyn leaving in the background. if there's any more

reaction we'll come back to you straightaway. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, has pledged an extra quarter a billion pounds of investment in mental health provision, particularly for young people, over the next five years. this will include £60 million for school nursing and counselling services. she also announced plans to increase spending on infrastructure in scotland, with a promise to invest an additional £7 billion on schools, hospitals, transport, digital connectivity and clean energy by 2026. 0ur scotland political editor, brian taylor is at holyrood in edinburgh. take us through some of this statement and what does it mean?” think the standout one is the announcement and mental health. in some ways it's a response to parliamentary pressure from holyrood behind me here. there's been controversy for months about the state of mental health care provision in scotland. figures out today showing one third of young

patients seeking mental health care have to wait more than 18 weeks. that's the poorest performance on record. nicola sturgeon says it's good young people are coming forward to seek care and support but she says it has to be whacked up by new initiatives and new money. as the stigma around mental health reduces, demand for services is rising. we have a duty to meet that demand quickly and to meet it appropriately. that means doing more to support positive mental health and prevent ill— health. it means delivering greater provision of mental health support in communities including in our schools. and it means ensuring that those experiencing experiencing serious illness can access specialist services more quickly. the opposition parties welcomed those announcements but say otherwise the statement from nicola sturgeon was tired, her government

lacking vigour. she denies that and says she is trying to drive forward enhancements to the economy, particularly by boosting investment in building new schools and hospitals, thereby mitigating she feels the effects of brexit. 0n hospitals, thereby mitigating she feels the effects of brexit. on that subject, she had this to say about britain leaving the eu and possibly scotla nd britain leaving the eu and possibly scotland leaving the uk. as the terms of brexit become clearer in the months ahead, we will consider and set out our view on how scotland's interests can best be protected and advanced. of course as we sawjust yesterday it is clear that an increasing number of our fellow citizens believe, as we do, that the best future for scotland lies in becoming an independent country. 0n the theme of independence, given it was pointedly raised there, any thoughts on what she might say about the potential timing of a second drug friend? —— second referendum?

she said she would announce her next period of planning on that when there is clarity with regard to brexit. i don't think that is going to happen any time soon. the first statement we will get from declan sturgeon will be in october but i think it will be a hot holding statement —— nicola sturgeon. she won't want to miss the opportunity to ta ke won't want to miss the opportunity to take scotland in a different direction. i think she worries that the uncertainty of brexit itself might run counter to the idea of adding potentially further uncertainty with a further referendums. thank you. time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz shaferneker with the forecast. pretty quiet today with cloud and sunshine in some areas on the whole.

not much happening. tomorrow broadly similar, dry for most with some sunshine but there is some rain on the way. we are starting to see changes out into the atlantic with a weather front moving in tonight. but for most of us it is dry tonight, the odd shower in the south east. that weather front moving into scotla nd that weather front moving into scotland and northern ireland by the middle of the afternoon. but on the whole not looking bad across england and wales with temperatures mostly in the high teens. this is thursday, some showers across northern parts of the uk. the south still pretty good and towards the end of the week the weather continuing to remain u nsettled the weather continuing to remain unsettled across the northern half of the uk. this is bbc news.

the headlines. labour's ruling body votes in favour of adopting in full the international holocaust remembrance alliance's definition of anti—semitism. the tsb boss paul pester has resigned — after the it problems that left customers locked out of their accounts. one of the strongest typhoons to hitjapan in 25 years — has claimed several lives — and injured over 160. how old is your heart? public health england urges people to take an online test to find out — it could indicate if you're at an increased risk of a heart attack or stroke. let's catch up with all the sports

news of the day. it is the final round of games in european qualifying for the women's cup in france next year and england are already through. northern ireland or already out but places are at stake for scotland and wales. there are some limitations to get your head around, a win for scotland away and albania would give the middle east a play—off place but if scotla nd middle east a play—off place but if scotland beat switzerland and the result against poland they would automatically qualify. kim little had put the scots ahead but albania equalised on the stroke of half—time but now it is 2—1 to scotland. no score between switzerland and poland. adam lalla na

score between switzerland and poland. adam lallana has pulled out of the england squad for the upcoming games against spain and switzerland because of a groin strain. fulham goalkeeper marcus bettinelli has been called up to bolster the squad and it means england now have four keepers in their party. meanwhile luke shaw has been speaking about the changes that he has been going through to win his place back for club and country. notjust on the pitch but of the picture i have matured and rhona. —— grown up. picture i have matured and rhona. —— grown up. i've gone from a child to a man and know what i need to do to push myself and i want to play for manchester united and obviously i wa nt to manchester united and obviously i want to stay there and fight for my place and prove my worth to the team. iwant place and prove my worth to the team. i want to try to do the same here now and give gareth a headache to select who and give him different

choices. we are getting closer to the ryder cup in paris at the end of this month and we know who the eight automatic qualifiers are for both europe and the usa. attention now turns to the wild card picks. tomorrow thomas bjorn will announce his wild card picks and tonight the usa captain will announce three of his four pics with the final one to come on sunday. in carter has more on how that might go. i think this will be straightforward for the captain jim furyk. every pundit is saying it is going to be tiger woods, it is going to be phil mickelson and it is going to be bryson dechambeau. there is a compelling argument for certainly two of those three. tiger woods played himself into contention with a very impressive return, five top tens, after the injury problems he has had. had he had a full qualifying period, the trend of his performances would have taken him

into the team automatically. dechambeau is off the back of victories of the pga series and phil mickelson has played in every ryder cup since the mid—1990s. he has been the architect of the task force, the new outlook to the ryder cup the americans have. i know his form hasn't been great of late, just one top ten since march, i think he is the one who will get the nod at this stage, leaving one more wild card pick for next week. that is all good sport for now, more on the bbc sport website. japan is being battered by one of the most powerful typhoons to hit the country in a quarter of a century. winds of over 100 miles an hour have prompted evacuation orders for thousands of people. hundreds of flights

have been cancelled — after a ship smashed into the causeway linking kansai airport with the mainland. 0ur correspondentjenny kumah has the latest. this extraordinary weather is causing some extraordinary sights. shouts. this lorry and car narrowly avoiding being blown into the sea. screams. typhoonjebi, the strongest in 25 years, is causing widespread disruption. winds have reached up to 107mph. transport is badly hit. this is kansai international airport near the coast of osaka in western japan. hundreds of flights have been cancelled, leaving travellers stranded. this causeway leads to the airport. a bridge over troubled water, but badly damaged by a tanker smashing into its side.

the storms have left tens of thousands without electricity, forcing businesses and offices to shot. debris from buildings and trees made it dangerous out on the streets. and despite all the rain and flooding, a fire broke out on the man—made island of nishinomiya. but it's not clear how it started. japan has suffered a summer of weather phenomena. a record—breaking heatwave, landslides and floods killing hundreds of people. so far, typhoon jebi, which means "swallow" in korean, is estimated to have claimed the lives of up to six people. around 160 are injured. many have stayed put and braved it out, but around a million people have been advised to evacuate. some have opted for the calm of the shelter, keeping safe from the ferocious storm.

jenny kumah, bbc news. britain's most senior police officer, cressida dick, has said social media companies should hand over "vital evidence" about criminal investigations "within minutes". the metropolitan police commissioner made the comments after it emerged that detectives were unable to access the facebook account of a man suspected of murdering a teenager from hampshire. 13—year—old lucy mchugh was found stabbed to death in woodland in southampton last month. detectives investigating her murder say it is taking an "inordinate amount of time" to access evidence from facebook as the suspect in the murder of lucy mchugh was jailed for withholding his facebook password from police. a spokeswoman for the social media company said facebook is "working closely with law enforcement" and following "well—established legal mechanisms". speaking on lbc, commissioner dick did not comment on lucy mchugh‘s case specifically, but said uk police forces had faced a "very protracted

procedure" in such cases. i absolutely think that in certain instances, and it sounds to me like this is one, law enforcement in the uk ought to be able to have vital evidence which might bring somebody to justice. within minutes, rather than having to go through some protracted process? absolutely. but there are practical things for them and legal things for them which i do respect. you know, it is not as straightforward as it sounds. but i think that's where we should be. let's talk now to dame vera baird — she's police and crime commissioner for northumbria and is in our newcastle studio. what are the issues raised by this? 0ne what are the issues raised by this? one question is should facebook now give up the material and it's not what can the police do to get hold of it. the case for getting this information seems strong, there is

an emotional case, a moral case, police have a reasonable suspicion about this, taken away from this case, they have a reasonable suspicion that a suspect has been communicating perhaps with the victim and so there issues as well. if it was the key to the house and inside might be a bug with these m essa 9 es inside might be a bug with these messages in it, they would have the right automatically because of reasonable suspicion to see is that all would have to get a warrant may be in the middle of the night before a judge if necessary. there is also a judge if necessary. there is also a need for haste because detectives talk about the golden arrow in any investigation. that has passed here but still no one knows what it might point to, they may be more evidence that could be perishable in some way. theoretically this could be the difference between allowing a person who is guilty in any case getting away and being free to murder again or alternatively proving that person

is absolutely innocent and therefore the difference between a life sentence and freedom. so it could not be more important and there is a lwa ys not be more important and there is always a balancing act to be done because of the right to privacy, in this case rights of third parties to privacy is the content is talking about someone else in the criminal way. those things need to be balanced strongly. but i think the decision would be quite clear here. the problems are firstly i think facebook have implied that they cannot do anything without going through the legal process in the states and it would take a long time in the states just as it would before we were in the eu for the case to be made by the police and for that material to be released and by which time it may have lost its importance. so facebook could consider whether they would hear from the police and consider

disclosing it themselves. i know from press reports that they have disclosed, facebook have disclosed passwords and private material in emergency cases where they believe someone's life or serious injury was at stake. this is not far behind such a situation. so does not seem as if there is a ban on it. they have no obligation to give it to a foreign police force but there does not seem to be a ban if the court ordered it. they could reflect and hear from the police and aside from themselves whether the balancing exercise was likely to be in favour of disclosure and does sound since they have disclosed before as if they have disclosed before as if they could disclose and do that short—circuiting process. in a sense i think that facebook is rather less than absolute privacy, whatever has been shed on facebook has been showered with somebody. and if i

share secrets then i have no hold over whether that person would share them with somebody else. alternatively we do have a mutual assistance agreement with the us and it will take a long time to activate that but in most cases now, recently there have been scandals about material online not been disclosed in time. there is in most cases now material online and often likely to be behind a password or some kind encryption. we have a mutual legal understanding and there can be little bar to everyone getting together to work out the fast—track for emergencies and that is probably rightly categorised as this. when a social media company says it is already working closely with law enforcement and ben says already following well—established legal mechanisms, the suggestion there is that they think those well—established legal mechanisms

are sufficient and they do not need to be expanded. i think the police would disagree and i think people looking at this case would disagree. if you are in a situation where you are in the middle of a murder enquiry and you need to look at information to see if it points towards guilt or away from guilt. then you need to be looking urgently for another suspect. then i think to say you will just for another suspect. then i think to say you willjust have to wait until the legal process has been gone through is probably not good enough. the police would need this material as quickly as it can be got. all of that balancing with everyone's rights, it is imperative to to check. this is not an oppressive government saying to the americans give us this material that we think it is propaganda against government, we any legitimate position to argue a strong case legally and morally for receipt of this. and that is a

trusted stance that the americans rely upon us to take so we have this mutual agreement, a fast—track seems to me to be imperative. and it is urgent that such a track should be defined so all balances can be done but the enquiry not be impeded any longer. thank you for coming in. a hearing into donald trump's pick for the vacant seat on the us supreme court has been disrupted by protestors and by democrats angered at the withholding of information about the nominee's time as a white house adviser to george w. bush. brett kavanaugh is facing several days of cross—examination by a us senate committee ahead of a floor vote to confirm his nomination, likely to be later this month. mr kavanaugh is a conservative — and his nomination would tilt the court's balance to the right, if approved by the senate. today some democrats have demanded an adjournment to the hearing.

0ur washington correspondent gary 0'donoghue is on capitol hill for us. what is your reading of the current state of play and the state of the debate about this man and his suitability? the debate about his suitability? the debate about his suitability has been disrupted this morning, notjust by those protesters, dozens of them eventually evicted from the hearing room but also by democrats attempting to postpone the whole process itself. they failed in doing that and now we're into the process of senators making their opening statements. and it will be tomorrow for the hear the to and fro between brett kava naugh for the hear the to and fro between brett kavanaugh and them over his record but be in no doubt that this hearing is significant. it is not a question of the supreme court justice who will be debating arcane jurisprudence, the supreme court justices decide key elements of american life for example, the right to gay marriage that was a supreme court decisionjust

to gay marriage that was a supreme court decision just two years ago. 1973 the right to abortion. 0n the other end of the spectrum the right to carry a handgun is a supreme court decision so what they decide and the direction of the court has a direct impact on the everyday lives of americans. on the political dimension, which are incredibly intense, and in the sense multilayered because of the background of this man in the previous administration, where think the democrats for example would try to ta ke the democrats for example would try to take their argument? they will ta ke to take their argument? they will take it in a number of directions, particularly they will want to know about his time in the white house and the fact that they're not getting access to a paperwork. in the bush administration there were key moments, at a time when the use of torture was being discussed, the treatment of detainees at guant namo bay and also discussion about a law banning gay marriage. so they will wa nt to banning gay marriage. so they will want to know what his advice was to george w bush in that time and also more up—to—date, he has gone to and

fro a bit on his view of whether the president could be indicted or question while in office. and of course that will be absolutely crucial if robert mueller the special counsel looking into those allegations of collusion between the tram campaign and russia, whether he presses his demand for answers from the president and that could end up at the supreme court. so the view of ten to an extent to which any president should be exposed to legal proceedings while in office will also be crucial in their questioning. thank you.

"believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything" — the words of former nfl quarterback

colin kaepernick, part of an advertising campaign for the sports brand nike. kaepernick was at the san francisco a9ers when he began kneeling during the national anthem in the 2016 nfl season, a protest against racial injustice and police brutality — what he saw as state oppression against african—americans and people of colour. his actions sparked a wider movement and national debate, criticised by some, including president trump, for being disrespectful to both the american flag and the military. now a free agent, kaepernick is suing the nfl, alleging team owners colluded to prevent him from signing with another team. being chosen as the face of nike's latest advertising venture is likely to be welcomed by many, but raise eyebrows too. in a statement, the company said... news of kaepernick‘s involvement

comes just days before the first game of the new nfl season, where protests could once again flare up. this advert yet more proof that sports continues to be a front line in the american political and racial divide. caroline rigby, bbc news. it's been one of this year's biggest films in the us and is being hailed as a triumph for on—screen diversity. now crazy rich asians is due to hit uk cinemas. the film — a romantic—comedy based on the novel by kevin kwan — features a mostly asian—american cast. 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba asked actors henry golding and constance wu about the huge response to the movie. it's been amazing. it really has been the response that everybody wished for. i think every film—maker hopes that their movie

does well like this. but it is beyond every expectation. in terms of representation especially, this feels more than a movie. it feels like a real moment. yes, i definitely think it is because when you look at the lack of asian american and asian—led stories and actors and cast coming out of the hollywood studios system, it has been 25 years since we've had an all asian westernised cast centred in a movie. and that's, you know, a quarter of a century. and so i think when you make a movie like this it highlights that and you realise that we do want to create a movement so that people feel represented and heard and understood and valued. people of colour have tremendous amounts of stories to tell and now is the opportunity that studios are like, hold on, this could be something that we work with.

so thatjust leads to more and more. time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz shaferneker with the forecast. not a lot of change for the rest of this evening and overnight for most. tomorrow a bit of rain on the way reaching north western areas of the country. but overall the weather looking dry for many with some sunshine. broadly similar to what we had today. a lot of clout out in the atla ntic had today. a lot of clout out in the atlantic heading in our direction and towards the end of the week and into the weekend it is looking a bit u nsettled. into the weekend it is looking a bit unsettled. but right now the clouds have a gun up quite nicely across the uk as there has been so little wind around. we had winners and

losers. not much change tonight, just a couple of showers in the south—east but the weather front is marching in from the atlantic and i think i tomorrow we will see some rain and wind in north—western areas of the uk. a quiet and to the night, and this weather front moving into northern ireland and into the western isles by early afternoon. by late afternoon we could need the umbrellas in belfast and glasgow but many major towns and cities experiencing a dry day tomorrow. 0n thursday a change in wind direction and some weather fronts and that combined means feeling fairly cool in northern areas. some showers in parts of northern ireland and scotland, northern england. so temperatures probably no higher than a0 degrees or so but in the south for sunshine and temperatures a little bit higher. so friday,

low— pressure little bit higher. so friday, low—pressure close to the uk, so we anticipate some rain getting into the north of scotland. 0nce anticipate some rain getting into the north of scotland. once again across the south of the country the weather looking dry. i say the weather looking dry. i say the weather is going downhill for the south of the uk we may hang onto predominantly dry weather all through the week. the weekend again looking a bit mixed. have the umbrella to hand but on the whole we have had worse this time of year. but it is going to be cooler over the next two or three days. that is all from me. good evening. labour agrees a new code on anti—semitism in a bid to end the controversy that engulfed the party. protestors from rival groups gathered outside labour headquarters in london as the party's ruling body met to decide on what action to take.
