this is bbc news. the headlines at 11pm: with just 200 days to brexit day, the eu's chief negotiator has raised the prospect of agreement within two months. if we are realistic, i want to reach an agreement on the first stage of this negotiation, which is the brexit treaty, within six or eight weeks. but theresa may has been warned again by senior colleagues that her chequers plan could turn part of the conservative party against her. there are almost 80 colleagues already who are willing to vote in the house of commons to protest the chequers deal. it would leave us half in and half out, it's not leaving the eu properly. cctv footage is released at the inquest into those who died in the westminster bridge terror attack, including images of tourist kurt cochran with his wife seconds before he was killed. the baby girl, born with her heart outside her body, is to be allowed home at last. doctors say it's a miraculous case. commentator: waterwave to finish

your last test match —— what a way. batting out in style. alastair cook scores a century in his final test innings for england before his international retirement. and at 11:30pm, we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers kate proctor from the evening standard, and the author and journalist owen bennett. stay with us for that. good evening. a brexit deal on the first stage of the uk's withdrawal can be reached within a couple of months, according to the eu's chief negotiator michel barnier, but he said it was dependent on realistic negotiations. and he warned again that several issues remained unresolved.

a special brexit summit of eu leaders is now expected in november. mr barnier‘s comments came as some senior conservatives warned again that they will opppose theresa may's plan agreed at chequers this summer. that plan is meant to maintain a common rulebook for all goods and avoid a hard border with northern ireland. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports. arriving at the office back door. work in the red box, tory woes splashed over the paper the prime minister's clutching, too. in 200 days, she's to be the leader that takes us out of the eu. but the actual deal must be done long before. today, europe's negotiator sounded more friend than foe.

i think that if we are realistic, we are able to reach an agreement on the first stage of this negotiation, which is the brexit treaty, within six or eight weeks. the rivalries at home are bitter, though. boris johnson, holed up at his country house, no word on his private life, but objections aplenty to the government's plan for brexit. many tories at westminster hate the so—called chequers plan, where parts of the economy would stay closely tied to the eu, but with no hard border in ireland. and one former brexit minister says dozens of his colleagues would vote against it, and it could even break the party. the chequers answer is threatening to split the tory party in two, with even proponents of remaining in the eu opposing chequers. your plan is where? where's your alternative? we will bring forward our ideas, but what we're not going to do is pre—empt them today. the fundamental issue

here is that we've ended up in a trap, in a sense, of our own design which we need help the government out of. but there's no sign of the government budging. ministers hope enough mps will choose a deal rather than none at all. can a chequers deal survive? of course it will. could the conservative party split over chequers, do you think? no, i don't think we will. i think we'll reach a good agreement and all have the right brexit that will work for the country. hello. yes, i'm sorry, i've got a bit of a sore throat. do you think the chequers deal can survive, mrgove? this is more than tory squabbling about europe, way past the point of who backed leave or remain, who hates or really supports brexit. but this is whether theresa may can find a compromise with the rest of the eu that ultimately she can get through parliament. the belief in government is most mps would support her rather than choose unknown chaos and no deal. but the truth — with no majority of her own, there can be no guarantee. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster.

the coroner at the inquests into five people killed in last year's westminster bridge attack has described how the lives of many were torn apart. khalid masood raced his car along the pavement, driving into pedestrians beforejumping out and stabbing to death pc keith palmer outside parliament. at the start of the inquest proceedings, a minute's silence was observed for the victims who were british, american and romanian. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford reports from the old bailey. the westminster bridge attack last march was the first in a year of terror, and left four members of the public, one police officer and the attacker, dead. opening their inquest this morning, the chief coroner, judge lucraft qc, said the lives of many were torn apart by 82 seconds of high and terrible drama. among the lives, those of kurt

and melissa cochran from utah in the united states — tourists in london, calmly walking across westminster bridge when tragedy struck. kurt cochran was the first to be hit by the attacker khalid masood's car. he pushed his wife melissa out of the way, before being knocked over the bridge‘s balustrade — falling five metres to the thames footpath below. in court, melissa's sister, angela stoll, called him "the man who saved my sister". she read a tribute from melissa, describing him as "my inspiration, my rock star and — most of all — my hero". next, the car hit a retired window cleaner from clapham, leslie rhodes, dragging him 33 metres along the bridge. his family said he was greatly missed. his niece amanda said she always remembers him as smiling and happy. then, aysha frade was knocked i7 metres into the path of a number 53 bus, falling under its wheels. in court, her husband john spoke of their two

young daughters and said: the last victim on the bridge was andreea cristea from romania. she was knocked over the railing, falling 12 metres into the river thames, before being recovered 100 metres downstream. herfamily said: the cctv the court watched was often harrowing and graphic, showing victims being thrown into the air and under vehicles. before it was shown, some of the victims‘ relatives took the opportunity to leave the courtroom. once off the bridge, masood crashed his vehicle and ran round to the gates of parliament, where pc keith palmer challenged him, but he knocked the unarmed officer to the ground and stabbed him to death. his sister, angela, told the court: khalid masood, who was carrying two knives, was shot three times by a close protection officer

and died soon afterwards. his inquest will follow the inquest of his victims next month. daniel sanford, bbc news, at the old bailey. a court martial has begun of two sas soldiers accused of negligently performing their duties after three army reservists died on a i6—mile march in the brecon beacons. the men, known only as ia and ib, were in charge on the day injuly 2013 when the march took place in temperatures of up to 28 degrees celsius. the court heard several others taking part also showed signs of heat exhaustion, one as early as ”am in the morning. both men deny the charges and the hearing continues. two men have been sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of a jeweller who was kidnapped and killed in a robbery that went wrong. 74—year—old ramniklal jogiya was bundled into a van and tortured in a plot to steal £200,000

worth of gold jewellery. a third man was convicted of manslaughter and jailed for 16 years. ben ando reports. disguised in a burqa and pushing a wheeled shopping trolley, robert thomas jervis enters a jeweller‘s in january. he heads to the back of the store, where he believes up to £200,000 worth of gold jewellery is waiting in the safe. the owner of the shop was 74—year—old ramnikal jogiya. the gang had been watching him and his store in leicester for a while. as mrjogiya locked up and left as usual, they were waiting nearby with a van, and as he passed, they grabbed him. inside the van, he was beaten so violently one of his biceps was torn from its bone, and he suffered serious brain injuries. the gang left him to die on a quiet country lane. but the robbery was a failure. althouthervis had the code, the jeweller‘s safe is also had a time lock and would not open.

he left empty—handed. we showed the court the level of planning, sophistication and violence used, and proved that the defendants would stop at nothing to obtain the security codes they wanted. jervis, who's 2a, was jailed for at least 33 years. his accomplice, charles mccauley, aged 20, will spend at least 30 years behind bars. a third man, calum reeve, was handed a 16 year sentence for manslaughter. in statements read to the court describing the impact of what had happened, mrjogiya's relatives said he had been just days away from celebrating his 49th wedding anniversary. they said he was a loving, peaceful man who was the foundation of theirfamily. his death, they added, through its pure aggression and hate, had changed for ever how they live. ben ando, bbc news, birmingham. the police match commander on the day of the hillsborough football disaster in 1989 has appeared in court to deny multiple charges of manslaughter. david duckenfield faces 95 counts one for each liverpool fan

who died in a crush at the ground during an fa cup semi—final. a provisional trial date has been set forjanuary. the uk economy grew by 0.3% in july after being helped by the heatwave and the world cup, according to the office for national statistics. in the three months tojuly, the economy expanded by 0.6%. the ons says the figures account for a boost in retail sales, growth in the service and construction sectors. a far—right party in sweden has said it wants a say in forming a new government after making significant gains in the general election. the anti—immigration sweden democrats won about 18% of the vote, slightly less than predicted, while the two main parliamentary blocs are almost tied. they have refused to work with the sweden democrats. europe correspondentjenny hill is in stockholm and has been following developments.

the nationalist sweden democrats, as you'd expect, have spent the day relishing what they say is the real election victory. in truth they didn't perform as well as expected. they are still sweden's third largest party but they've taken around 18% of the vote, and in a country like sweden, with its long liberal tradition, that's a remarkable result. they‘ re liberal tradition, that's a remarkable result. they're also causing upheaval in what is a relatively complicated political landscape near. it could be weeks before we know what's we'd's next government is going to looked like, that's because you can broadly by the parliament here in two main political blocks blocks, the ce ntre—left political blocks blocks, the centre—left and the centre—right, neither of those groupings have one enough seats to secure a majority. either side could try to form a minority government, by no means a rarity here, but in order to do so they will have to seek support either from

they will have to seek support eitherfrom their they will have to seek support either from their political rivals all from the sweden democrats. now, the main parties here say they are not going to get into bed with the far right for now. in the meantime, swedes are digesting the news that the far right have made significant gains here. many of the people we've spoken to say they're horrified by the anti immigrant rhetoric of the sweden democrats and that they're embarrassed, that this country, like so embarrassed, that this country, like so many other eu member states, in the wake of the migrant crisis, appears to be shifting to the political right. the us state department has confirmed it's ordered the closure of the washington mission of the palestine liberation organization. a statement said plo leaders had failed to engage with us efforts to bring about peace with israel, and had attempted to prompt an investigation of israel by the international criminal court. a senior palestinian official called the decision a dangerous escalation. it's the latest in a series of measures by the united states against the palestinian leadership. unions are calling for a shorter working week,

so that staff can share in the wealth generated by new technology. the tuc‘s general secretary frances o'grady told its annual congress in manchester that the wider workforce needed to see the benefits of developments in technology such as robotics and artificial intelligence. but how feasible is a 4—day working week for businesses? earlier, i spoke to both jonathan petrides, who runs a start—up food delivery service, allplants and mark hooper, who runs the firm indycube, where they've been trying a 4—day week for the past 18 months. i started by asking mark how the 4—day week has been working so far. we've got people doing the things they want to do with some of their time, so they're notjust focused on work. and i think we're getting more out of them than we would have done when they were doing a five—day week. so for us it's been a success. but i think the thing we've learned most about this is that work isn't

everything to everyone. why did you decide to go for it in the first place? part of it was to prove a point. we felt the world of work is changing and we were in a position where we could try and do some of these things, so this was about trying something and actually getting people working and doing things they really enjoyed doing. we got people writing poetry, other people organised ale trials around south wales, so we've got some really interesting things going on. jonathan, could you, would you do something similar? for us, julian, it's all about building better worklife relationships through doing better work and we believe if you love what you do and you're around people who support and stretch you and your working on something you think the world really needs, then you can get great joy out of working really hard. that's the kind of team we're already really lucky to have around us creating all plants and delivering healthy, delicious food all over the uk every day. but does that include the possibility of a

four—day week? that include the possibility of a four-day week? the way we look at it, we've got a very big mission and we're very early in ourjourney. we only launched 18 months ago and today every 15 seconds, this evening, someone today every 15 seconds, this evening, someone will have an all plants meal for dinner. that's enough to keep a start—up team pretty busy and it means we're quite stretched. we try to be very thoughtful about providing a great working environment. we have free chef cooked lunches by our chefs who are cooking all day for our customers, and we take hospitals and other types of leave very seriously. we have a delete all the apps rules so we have a delete all the apps rules so people get balance in their life style. so people get balance in their lifestyle. mark, what do you take out that? jonathan didn't quite say no to the four—day week but that's where you're at realistically at the moment? we're a start-up so we're stretched. mark, come back on what you heard from jonathan?” stretched. mark, come back on what you heard from jonathan? i get his point, it is hard to run a business and especially a start—up. his point

about purpose is true and we are an organisation with purpose as well. but it doesn't take away from the fa ct but it doesn't take away from the fact people at the moment are doing things with their time that isn't suitable. we've got a country where productivity levels are languishing, yet working harder and we're less happy in our work than we've ever been. so something doesn't quite add up. the headlines on bbc news: with just 200 days to brexit day, the eu's chief negotiator has raised the prospect of agreement within two months. an inquest into the deaths of five people in the westminster bridge attack sees cctv footage, including images of tourist kurt cochran with his wife, seconds before he was killed. theresa may has been warned again by senior colleagues that her chequers plan could turn part of the conservative party against her. a baby girl, who survived being born with her heart outside her body and without a breastbone, has been allowed home

after 9 months in hospital. vanellope wilkins from nottingham made medical history when she was born with one of the world's rarest conditions. specialists say her recovery has been remarkable, as our medical corrspondent fergus walsh reports. this is the moment vanellope's parents dreamed of, taking her home from hospital. it is just for one night for a trial home visit, but it shows the remarkable progress this baby girl has made. she has fought all the way to be here. nine months down the line. it doesn't seem real. she is finally sat in ourfront room. during pregnancy, ultrasound scans clearly showed vanellope's heart was outside her chest. so, at birth at glenfield hospital in leicester, she was immediately sent for surgery. it took three operations

to put her heart back inside and close the wound. her parents were told she had less than a 10% chance of survival, but vanellope has defied the odds. she has no breastbone and so nothing protecting her heart, which is why she wears this purple brace, which will be crucial once she starts to crawl. in a few years' time, she will need more surgery to build a breastbone. the bigger she is, the easier it will be for us to do some reconstructive surgery and using her own cartilages and bones or using some artificial materials. vanellope was transferred to queen's medical centre in nottingham in may to be nearer home. she's continued to make excellent progress, but needs help to breathe, and sometimes a mask, to ensure a constant supply of oxygen. her parents are being taught how to manage her care. if they are taking over charge of a child who needs breathing

support to sustain their life, they need to be adequately trained and competent to manage all the equipment, to know when to escalate care, to check for help and to manage emergency situations at home. despite the challenges ahead, vanellope's parents say that they are looking forward to having her home for good. fergus walsh, bbc news. you should have at least two days a week without drinking any alcohol, that's the latest recommendation from public health england for middle—aged drinkers. people aged between 45 and 65 are likely to drink more units of alcohol than they should every week. so a new health campaign is trying to highlight the benefits of alcohol—free days to lower blood pressure and to lower the risk of getting seven different types of cancer. our health correspondent dominic hughes reports. it's the boss choose to unwind at

the end of at the end of the day. but it is also a habit that middle—aged people in particular find hard to. those between 45 and 65 are most likely to trigger more than the recommended guidelines of 14 units per week and struggled to keep track of what they have dropped. it is difficult for everybody. it is difficult for me andi everybody. it is difficult for me and i work in that area all the time. having alcohol free days is a much easier way of controlling your overall alcohol intake during the week, as well as having immediate benefits for your health and well—being. benefits for your health and well-being. according to a poll, two thirds of regular drinkers say they find cutting down on alcohol harder than improving diet, exercise or even stopping smoking. and one in five people surveyed drank more than the recommended 14 units or week, thatis the recommended 14 units or week, that is around six glasses of wine 01’ that is around six glasses of wine or six pints of beer. and the idea that some alcohol free days is one that some alcohol free days is one thatis that some alcohol free days is one

that is already being taken up by some in this pub, all of them enjoying soft drinks.|j some in this pub, all of them enjoying soft drinks. i feel more focused, more alert, my skin feels better. usually i start early in the morning, so it is worthwhile having a drink in the week. i have one, at least two, three or four, better off just obtaining. nowadays, streaking ta kes pla ce just obtaining. nowadays, streaking takes place not in pubs, but in the home, and when you are treating at home, and when you are treating at home it is rarely difficult to keep track of just home it is rarely difficult to keep track ofjust how much alcohol you are getting through, that is white public health england hope that today's message, that you should abstain from alcohol for two or more days a week, will help reduce the harm that is caused by alcohol. for the past decade, sue sullivan, a busy mum of three, has called alcohol free thought two days a week, now she is trying a sauber september, soft rinks all round. you might have a blowout holiday, not exercising enough, not not eating

the right foods and you are probably drinking more rows then you should. —— rose there. so it is a nice time in september to start resetting those habits. middle-aged people don't tend to drink to get drunk, but more as a social habit. today's message, break that habit and you will soon feel the benefit. dominic hughes, bbc news manchester. let's hear more from england cricketer alastair cook now. he was given a standing ovation at the oval today, after he scored a century in his final test innings before international retirement. he scored 147 on day four of england's fifth test against india, as his team built up a commanding lead against the visitors. cook, whose wife is due to give birth any day, spoke to reporters after the game and was asked how it felt to finish his england career on such a high whilst also expecting a new member of the family. it has just been the most surreal

for days of my life, really. —— four. i suppose if she goes into labour tonight that will probably top it off. so, for all that to happen today and every reception i have had over last four days, has just been incredible and even that last couple of overs when the whole crowd was singing the barmy army song was incredible. best gay in cricket for you? a different day. -- test day. —— best day. from a purely selfish point of view i couldn't ask for a better week, but there have been begetting symbol important gains that have meant more. but on a purely emotional level, a lot of my friends and family here, alice's grandad is here, mum and dad, farmers from bedfordshire as well and

schoolfriends, in one way everybody said the pressure will be off, but ina said the pressure will be off, but in a totally different way it has been one of those weeks where every reception i have got, to not get zero or get out every morning has brought a different kind of pressure. to perform and have a day like that, i suppose, in 160 other games, it is a nice way to go. i remember cutting it thinking there was three more to go, and just as he left go, i thought he has left that for the yard and as soon as i saw ravi nowhere near it, i thought hang ona ravi nowhere near it, i thought hang on a minute. i thought it would fall straightaway, i didn't see pujara running after it, if i were celebrating it would have been embarrassing to get out on 99. it saved me a lot of heartbreak. he has

also caused the of heartache in the series, to give me a little moment i will thank him for a while. but the ovation was just incredible. that was probably the only one i have really ta ke n was probably the only one i have really taken in and thought wow, obviously the last ten minutes today was special. route was like a hold on, i have got some runs to get here as well. —— root. it was the nominal. i don't know how will handle it, to be honest, but it is nice that it has happened. i have seen a nice that it has happened. i have seen a few people go out on their own terms, but to go out on your own terms when your last ever innings for england was 100, moral if we can top it off with a win and a 4—1win over the number one side in the world would make it even more special. as i said, words are mostly draining out of me right now, there is probably 30 drunk farmers who wa nt to is probably 30 drunk farmers who want to say hello, so i should have some energy for them and top it off

a very special day. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers kate proctor from the evening standardand the author and journalist owen bennett. that's coming up after the headlines at 11:30. now it's time for the weather with stav da naos. hello there. over the next few days here but the jet stream running west to east right across the united kingdom feeding in weather systems off the atlantic, mainly affecting the northern half of the uk. for tuesday, we've got a weather system passing across the country ringing ina very passing across the country ringing in a very windy weather to begin the day, also outbreaks of rain thanks to this weather front which will light through central portions of the country. a blustery start to the day, remains to rout the afternoon. to get heavy showers across western scotland, some sunshine further south but a great, damp day through central and southern areas of inland and wales. in the south—east, given some sunshine and walk off the near continent, those orange colours

moving in, c temperatures reaching 23 maybe 24 degrees further north, much cooler and fresher, the mid—to high teens celsius. that weather front, which will be stationary for a while will get a wriggle on as we had to wednesdays, slowly slipping south eastwards and introducing cool and fresh air across northern and western areas into the south—east by the end of the day. it means rain will be confined to the south—east, a pretty wet and to the day. further north, bright, sunshine, showers and most of these in scotland, temperatures need to high teens celsius and a cooler field across the south and south—east. heading into thursday, that area of rain moves off into the near continent, all into the cooler and by this point. another area of low pressure pushes in to the northern half of the country. for the end of the week it will remain on the cool side for all, fairly unsettled particularly the further north you are with sunshine and showers. some of the showers could be quite sharp on

thursday in scotland, but for much of england and wales, close to an area of a bridge of high pressure, should start with sunshine, bit of cloud into the afternoon and is temperatures giving some good sunny spells could reach 19 or 20 degrees, otherwise a cool fuel further north. into friday, reach of high pressure still influencing the weather across england and wales, another area of low pressure expected to push into the northern half of the country. conditions go downhill here. co nfessi ng conditions go downhill here. confessing for northern ireland, some heavy rain pushing into scotla nd some heavy rain pushing into scotland and northern parts of england along with strengthening wind. into the midlands, should see and other dry day with sunshine and variable cloud, top temperatures 20 degrees. as we head into the weekend, it it looks like the wind is moving into a south—westerly direction. a warmer direction and with sunshine in england and wales it would feel that a warmer. further north, blustery with sunshine and showers. the jet stream

north, blustery with sunshine and showers. thejet stream is pretty important for what goes on in the weekend and beyond. we lose the west east orientation to the jet, as a lunch of cold air from canada parks itself into the north atlantic, giving a bit into the jet and will be steering weather systems. to the north—west of the uk, some warmer pressure moving into the continent. northern and western parts of the country could stay on the cool side, close areas of low pressure, quite cool and showery. further south and east, a little bit warmer with sunshine, white wind all thanks to an area of low pressure but there remains an uncertainty and that is because we have a number of tropical storms in the atlantic, which often can confuse computer models, things can confuse computer models, things can get quite interesting.
