this is bbc news. the headlines at 11. people being harassed by cold callers will be given powers to stop them, in new measures introduced by the government today. some companies will see the new change in law and i think they will desist from the activity. when they don't, i'm afraid people are going to have to complain. labour mp chuka umunna has accused jeremy corbyn of driving centre—left mps like himself out of the party in a speech this morning. my my message to our leadership is clear. it is within your power to stop this, so call off the dogs and get on with what my constituency, one of the most diverse communities in the country, demands we do. also coming up this hour: for the first time ever, there's going to be an attempt to get into the middle of the pacific ocean to try to clean it up. thousands of top university graduates are competing forjobs as prison officers, in a scheme aiming to transform the uk's toughest prisons.

and at 11:30, you can watch dateline for the latest analysis on brexit and other top stories from around the world. new powers come into force today designed to stop nuisance calls from personal injury and claim management firms. you'll now need to opt in to allow companies to contact you. businesses that don't comply could face a fine of half a million pounds. manuela saragosa has more. for many of us, cold calls are a daily torment. hello? the financial conduct authority says some 2.7 billion nuisance calls texts and e—mails were made over the past year. that works out to be about 50 calls, texts and e—mails sent to every single adult in the country.

many are made by companies offering to settle personal injury claims, or to claim back ppi — payment protection insurance. but, from now on, these companies will have to check first that the recipient has explicitly agreed to receive those calls and messages. companies that don't could face a fine of up to £500,000, and people are encouraged to report them to the ico — the information commissioner's office. some companies will see the new change in law and i think they will desist from the activity. when they don't, i'm afraid people are going to have to complain. the ico does need the information from people about these calls, and she will then tackle, use her powers and, slowly but surely, we will get on top of it and they will completely cease. campaigners say the new rules do not go far enough. they will not, for example, stop calls from fraudsters and note, too, that firms based overseas are not covered. the issue of consent, they argue, is a red herring and they would prefer to see the authorities rule that unsolicited direct marketing calls are not a legitimate way

of doing business. manuela saragosa, bbc news. let's speak to martin bostock. he's been campaigning against nuisance calls, as he used to receive up to 12 in one day. just go back to why you got involved in this campaign in the first place, you were deeply irritated by what was happening to you and your family. explain what was going on. yes, i had about 12 per day on my landline and that was very important because i do most of my work from home. also, at the same time, my very elderly pa rents home. also, at the same time, my very elderly parents were receiving perhaps eight or nine per day. my mother ‘s case, it was mostly

charities and for my father, it was scammers. he was in fact scammed. 0ne scammers. he was in fact scammed. one of my brothers recovered substantial funds. i had one of my brothers recovered substantialfunds. i had taken it up because which? were beginning a campaign andi because which? were beginning a campaign and i had been keeping records. ijoined a band i have been involved in the campaign since its inception as one of the foot soldiers, one of the victims. did you find out who the companies we re did you find out who the companies were and how they got hold of your numbers? many of these worst culprits are pa rt many of these worst culprits are part of a network. i have challenged some of the list providers that people have used. in fact probably my best example was an entirely legitimate company in manchester who had decided to ginger up their

marketing and in good faith, they had bought a list of what was supposed to be qualified prospects andi supposed to be qualified prospects and i was on that list and i had not agreed with anyone that i should be on the list. in fact, the man on the other end was very helpful. he told me who had provided the list, a company in watford. i ask them where they had got my name, it had been sold on from someone else. it really was about time that someone gripped this part of the problem, which is that there are people who have not opted into anything who are passed on in opted into anything who are passed onina opted into anything who are passed on in a chain and nobody in the chain has any duty to check and so consequently people pay good money for prospect lists of people to call. the new system, the minister suggesting this will work, people will have to opt in. do you think it goes far enough, will it work?”

think it will work partially. any little bit helps. i have got to the point now where i take active measures of my own and i have probably the most sophisticated call reception system, computerised if you like, but the problem is that costs people a lot of money. it is very useful and i can put it down as an expense of doing business but this would not have helped people like my parents. it does not help people who know all the numbers of all the people who might call them and this system of opting in his lonely really if if you like for those who are going to comply with the law anyway. another company in birmingham pestered me and i spoke to the man and he was quite, you know, happy chappie, he said, it's quite simple, he said, if you don't like our cause, you can complain all you like because we will simply liquidate the company. and there are

other measures, particularly dealing with corporate offenders that can and should have been taken so i think it is partial progress but i don't think it goes far enough. we hope the pestering stops for you and we will invite you back on in six months or so to see if the system has been working. police in south yorkshire have made an arrest after reports a man was stabbed in ba rnsley reports a man was stabbed in barnsley town centre. police have said there will be a high visability police presence in the town centre this morning, and have asked the public to be vigilant. a former trump campaign adviser has been jailed for 14 days, for lying to fbi agents investigating alleged collusion with russia. george papadopoulos, who admitted the offence, was also ordered to do 200 hours of community service and pay a fine of 9,500 dollars. mr trump has denied campaign collusion with moscow. a massive operation to scoop plastic

waste from the middle of the pacific ocean is being launched today. a 600—metre long floating device will be towed out from california, as jenny kumah reports. sites like this have shocked people all over the world. the damage to wildlife has inspired a bold project with an ambitious goal — to rid the ocean of plastic. and this is the structure that will help to do it. it's been built in san francisco and is launching from there today. it will travel to an area in the eastern pacific known as the great garbage patch, where currents trap plastic. if we don't do it now, all this plastic will start breaking down into smaller and smaller pieces, and the smaller the pieces are, the more harmful and harder to extract from the marine environment. so we feel there is a sense of urgency. so how will it work?

a giant tube, 600 metres long, will float on the surface in the shape of a horseshoe. over time, the plastic should gather in a small area and then can be taken out. underwater, a barrier will hang three metres down and trap plastic below the surface. it is meant to allow fish to swim underneath it. but some experts worry that the system can harm wildlife. our major concern is for those passive floaters, rather than fish, mammals, plankton, jelly fish, for example. they simply cannot get out of the way of this, they are going to be crammed into this and not be able to escape. the plan is to start with one collection device and eventually deploy 60. the people behind the project estimate a full roll—out will clean up half of the great pacific garbage patch in five years. jenny kumah, bbc news. the labour mp, chuka umunna, has appealed to his party leader, jeremy corbyn, to, in his words, "call off the dogs", and stop centre—left mps

being driven out of the party. it comes as a third labour mp, chris leslie, has lost a vote of no confidence among some members of his constituency party. 0ur political correspondent, pete saull is here. pretty strong words from chuka umunna. there are a number of labour mps increasingly uncomfortable in their own party. that's right. there isa their own party. that's right. there is a growing unease amongst some of those moderate, centre—left labour mps, that they are being unfairly targeted now one that really is what chuka umunna is saying in this speech today. he of course has been critical ofjeremy corbyn in the past, there is no surprise there, but it is striking the language he is using here today. he says he's proud of the parties centre—left tradition but the danger is that tradition but the danger is that tradition is being out. having only been re—elected by their

constituents last year, often with big majorities, already centre—left mps are being systematically targeted with motions against them in their local parties, motions brought against them for standing up for these centre—left values. for example, demanding we have a zero tolerance of racism in the labour party. more motions are expected by colleagues in the weeks and months to come. my message to our leadership is clear. it is within your power to stop this, so call off the dogs and get on with what my constituency, one of the most diverse communities in the country, demands we do. without equivocation, fight this tory brexit. that is where all of our efforts should be. yesterday we had tony blair intervening, saying he felt the party had been lost to what he called the hard left. butjeremy corbyn hit back yesterday. a pretty strong statement yesterday

in response to those comments, saying chuka umunna ‘s comments are incoherent and dinner are accurate. we had two votes of no confidence this week alone againstjohn ryan, chris leslie has lost a vote of no—confidence in one branch of his local party. he feels there will be a wider vote in his party as well. he says that there are... a pretty firm rebuttal to labour, from labour, they say there is no such campaign. these no-confidence vote, what do they mean? you're not talking about deselection but that is ultimately the fear of some of mps. they have no official force, but it is about building up the

pressure and these members saying, we are here, we have the numbers if it comes to it to potentially deselected. if you step out of line, we are going to respond and we have the power to get rid of you with you we wa nt the power to get rid of you with you we want to. a russian exile who was murdered in britain last march believed that two men from moscow had tried to poison him five years earlier. nikolai glushkov, a former deputy director of the russian airline, aeroflot, was found apparently strangled at his home in south—west london, a week after ex—spy, sergei skripal and his daughter, yulia, were poisoned in salisbury. tributes have been paid to the us rapper mac miller, who's died after an apparent drug overdose. the 26—year—old, who's real name was malcolm mccormick, was found at his home near los angeles. he rose to fame after topping the us charts with his debut album in 2011. earlier this year, the musician went through a well—publicised break—up with his long—term girlfriend, the singer ariana grande. mac miller's friend and fellow musician, pittsburgh slim, was totally shocked by the news. just a great, great kid. a great

kid. nobody had anything bad to say about him. you can see by the reaction on twitter. this is too much. really drugsjust reaction on twitter. this is too much. really drugs just aren't cool andi much. really drugs just aren't cool and i don't know what happened, nobody does at this point. ijust came to drop some flowers and... say a prayerfor him, that is all you can do at this point. final campaign rallies are being held in sweden today on the eve of elections that are expected to confirm a surge in support for an anti—immigration party. 0pinion polls suggest that the sweden democrats, who have roots in the neo—nazi movement, will take about 20 per cent of the vote. neither the centre—left governing parties nor their centre—right opponents are expected to win an outright majority. the headlines on bbc news: companies can no longer make cold calls unless a claimant has opted in to receive them, in the government's new crackdwon on nuisance callers. labour mp chuka umunna has accused

jeremy corbyn of driving centre—left mps like himself out of the party, ahead of a speech this morning. there's going to be an attempt to get into the middle of the pacific ocean to try to clean it up. what's it like to be a rookie prison officer at a time of high levels of violence, drug—taking and self—harm ? two years ago a scheme to get some of britain's brightest university graduates working in jails was unveiled. so would the new recruits go the distance? last year our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw, met one of the graduates as she started work at coldingley prison in surrey and now he's returned to find out how she's getting on. i'lljust give you a quick rubdown, mr brown. she's one of the newest prison officers at hmp coldingley, but has the confidence of someone far more experienced.

sophie is one of the standout recruits on a programme designed to attract the brightest graduates into prisons. we first met her 12 months ago, when she started work. i've finished my degree. 0k. the new officers were visited by the then justice secretary david lidington. a year on, how has it been? it's been challenging, but it's been rewarding, as well. the best thing is all the interactions that i have with the guys. we make progress all the time. the small wins are the best things — like, getting someone that has been refusing to go to work that is actually finally engaging and going to work. that's the best thing ever. have there been moments when you've doubted whether this was the job for you? when incidents happen and i've been faced with, like, an act of self—harm or someone being under the influence, and that's when i'm like, "am i right for this job?" sophie is one of eight graduate prison officers here at coldingley. they are among more than 50 who started the scheme last year. and now it is being expanded and sophie is helping to train

the next set of recruits. if they are not in there, you open the flap. these new recruits graduated in subjects including anthropology and social policy. now, they are earning up to £30,000 a year and doing a masters in their spare time. show that you are listening, that you understand. and this is how the graduates learn about techniques they need to do the job. hello, it's 0 from alpha 1. we have an unconscious officer, officer ralph. it's a training exercise in a classroom at the university of suffolk. i can see there's a rope group going through the window, we have missing keys. in this scenario, a prisoner has escaped after assaulting a member of staff. we have an e—list prisoner escaping out of education 1 with a set of officer's keys. the skills you get from being a prison officer, if you can de—escalate a landing full of prisoners, if you can convince someone who's offended their whole life that they want to change and turn their life around, essentially, the skills that they're going learn with us will set them up for leadership and whatever they go on to do. at the time, we had real

problems with recruitment. attracting people to the service, there was a lot of negative press. rising levels of prison violence and concerns over pay have made it hard for governors to find and retain staff. 2,000 front—line officers left the service last year, hundreds of them new recruits. to get some of these bright young people into it, was like a shot in the arm. but sophie isn't at coldingley for long. next year, she'll leave for good, using her experience in another part of the criminaljustice system. danny shaw, bbc news, at coldingley prison. almost 120 council estates in london are facing redevelopment, which campaigners fear means the loss of thousands of council homes. freedom of information requests, submitted to all london councils, reveal that dramatic changes to the capitals social housing stock are underway, which will affect the lives of tens of thousands of residents. gareth furby reports. the property developers are the winners of regeneration. all the regenerations

are public—private partnerships. across london, thousands of properties are being demolished as estates are being redeveloped. it is this good news? some experts say it may not be. we have a situation of hyper gentrification. council estates have very much become a target for making profit. the claim is that social housing across london is that social housing across london is being lost because when the improved estates are completed, they tend to be fewer homes for council te na nts. tend to be fewer homes for council tenants. the green party ‘s sian berry says she has two figures that prove regeneration is having a negative impact. we have got a net loss of over 4000 homes in schemes that have been completed over the last few years. when you look forward, schemes that have planning permission, it gets even worse. there is 7600 homes to

be lost over the next ten years. city hall says council homes lost have been replaced through other housing schemes and overall, numbers are. but the pace of change is significant. a total of 118 council estates are undergoing or earmarked for regeneration in the next five yea rs. for regeneration in the next five years. affecting 31,000 residents. more than 80 estates will be fully or partially demolished. the hay gate estate was demolished a couple of years ago and it has been replaced by elephant park, a luxury apartment development. only 82 of those homes are social housing. campaigner gerry flynn says it is

all about the money. the property developers are the winners of regeneration. all the regenerations are public—private partnerships. the profitability of the scheme is the first benchmark of deciding whether the scheme is going to go forward. southwark council says most of the original tenants have been rehoused in the borough and lessons have been learned. the mayor, sadiq khan, says he has introduced controls to ensure redeveloped council estates to keep their social housing. but campaigners fear social housing is under threat and say they will keep up the fight. gareth furby, bbc london news. you can see more on that story with a special programme from inside out london at 1.30pm here on bbc news. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's mike bushell. good morning. it may be his last test match, but for now alistair cook, has taken a back seat in the pavillion at the oval, while the england tailenders, try to bolster a weak first innings score against india.

the hosts started the day 7 wickets down. world number one rafael nadal says he will keep fighting, after he was forced to retire from his us open semifinal, againstjuan martin del potro, because of a knee injury. he's now 32, and won the french open earlier this summer, but couldn't continue playing after the end of the second set. it's unclear how long he will be out for. to keep playing, at the same time having too much pain. it was not a tennis match. at the end it was one player playing and one standing on the other side of the court. i hate to retire, but stay one more set out there playing like this... it will be too much for me. in contrast novak djokovic looks

rejuvenated as he moved closer to equalling pete sampras's tally of 14 grand slams after outclassing nishikori to reach the us open final. so he now faces del potro. in football, scotland suffered their heaviest defeat at home for 45 years against belgium in a friendly, ahead of their nations league opener, against albania on monday. romelu lukaku, opened the scoring in the first half, and then three goals, after the break did the damage. chelsea's eden hazard with one of them, michy batshuayi pounced on a mistake, to make it 4—0. england begin their nations league competition, this evening with a sell—out fixture, against spain at wembley. harry kane will receive the golden boot and also play in golden boots, that's his reward for being top scorer at the world cup. it's their first match

since gareth southgate's side surpassed expectations, by reaching the world cup semifinal in russia. but the manager says, they must now, put that behind them and begin building for the future. for us now, summer is finished. it is about the next challenges. sport does not stand still, you have to move forward and continually evolve, increased that competition and i know players have the same mentality. they are all of an age of what is next is the most important thing. northern ireland are also in action today, they are up against bosnia—herzegovina at windsor park. it's the first ever meeting, between the two sides and they are in one of the b groups along with austria. and manager michael o'neill feels the new format of qualifying, for the euros is a postive step. the fact we are in the competition that has the reward of a promotion—relegation situation but has the route to euro 2020 potentially is a good thing and we are happy with the format and look forward to the games.

the games will prepare us for what lies ahead when the draw is made for euro 2020. the all blacks were given a tough test, by argentina, but went on to beat, the pumas 46—24, in their rugby championship clash. tries in each half from scrumhalf, tj perenara. scrumhalf, tj perenara helped new zealand to the win./// a try from flyhalf, nicolas sanchez helped take him to 14 points, to make him his country's, to make him his country's highest test scorer. that's all the sport for now. now for the weather forecast. hello. there is a lot of very different weather across the country this morning. sunshine, overcast weather, rain. it is very hit and miss. but for some of us it is not

wa nt to miss. but for some of us it is not want to be a great first half of the day. a lot of clout. quite a bit of rain. a lot of clout in the atlantic heading in our direction. it is pretty much right on top of us right now. scotland is much brighter. the south coast of england also should enjoy some fine weather. here are the weather fronts that are slicing the weather fronts that are slicing the uk in half. this is where the heaviest of the rain will be. in the far south here, we are getting away with it. and some sunshine for portsmouth, all the way to kent and also scotland and northern ireland not doing bad at all. temperatures here would be in the high teens. this evening that rain should clear away. we will get some sunshine into northern england and possibly wales for a time northern england and possibly wales fora time and northern england and possibly wales for a time and then more cloud and further rain drifting off the atlantic. once again by the end of

the night, it is damp in wales, throughout northern england and south—western scotland as well. belfast will get some rain. but a very mild night. temperatures on the south coast of england no lower than around 15 or 16 celsius. here is sunday. low—pressure sending stronger winds and also a weather front in the direction of scotland. eventually sunshine and showers. maybe a spot of rain in wales for a time. on the whole, sunday is not looking bad at all. a much brighter days and many of us —— for many of us. 20 degrees expected in yorkshire. into tuesday, this rather long area of whether, this weather front slices the uk in half and it slices the atmosphere in half. we have warm aircoming slices the atmosphere in half. we have warm air coming in from spain, portugal and france. and then colder airfrom the north

portugal and france. and then colder air from the north atlantic. that means that across the north of the country, it is cloudy with spots of rain. in the south it will be much warmer. hello and a very warm welcome to dateline london with me, tim willcox. this week we discuss the perilous situation for millions of civilians in idlib as government forces prepare to clear the last remaining rebel stronghold in syria's north western province. there are warnings of a blood bath after a summit between the presidents of russia, turkey and iran — where it was hoped a deal would be struck, ended in failure. and with the long, hot parliamentary summer recess finally over — where are we in britain's brexit saga? my guests this week — greg katz from the associated press, the french magazine editor agnes poirier, the british political commentator steve richards and the writer on arab affairs abdel bari atwan. welcome to you all. lovely to see you after the summer

break. we start in syria where for weeks the un has been warning of an impending humanitarian disaster as government and iranian forces, backed by russian air power, try to clear rebel fighters living among some 3 million civilians on the turkish border. last minute appeals for a truce in idlib to avoid a blood bath by turkey's president erdogan at a summit with presidents putin and rouhani were rejected. everyone was hoping a rabbit would people out of a hat in that summit and it hasn't happened. where do we
