but this is an extra big step, isn't it? indeed. i think it but this is an extra big step, isn't it? indeed. ithink it really underlines just how serious the us is taking this trade war. up until this point, we had seen a smaller figure that had been placed under a american tariffs, but now as you point out, £150 billion worth of chinese goods going into the united states, products ranging from everything, things like rice, textiles, handbags are going to be on this list. that is from september 24, on this list. that is from september 2a, next monday, they will see at tariff of 2% more on these items. what that effectively means is that 110w what that effectively means is that now american what that effectively means is that 110w american consumers what that effectively means is that now american consumers and american businesses to buy these things from china will have to either absorb that cost or pass this on to a american shoppers. this is coming at that critical time in the united states, all over the world, will

when people are getting ready for the holiday season, they are going to be doing a bit of their shopping and cleaning. there is real concern about how this might effect the american economy, but also very serious possibilities of what this could do to china's economy. many people i have been speaking to out here in china has said that china's economy has the ability to withstand the tariff threats to now, but there isa the tariff threats to now, but there is a lot of uncertainty going forward. i guess it affects those two countries, but it affects all of us two countries, but it affects all of us around the world, ultimately. we willjoin you later, thank you. social media sites and the internet have caused harm to one in five people in the uk, according to the head of the broadcast watchdog 0fcom. sharon white wants online firms to be subject to proper state regulation, to end what she calls the "standards lottery". jane—frances kelly reports. protesters showing their anger towards facebook earlier this year.

winds of the week that there this morning, it's blowing a lot. this area of low pressure, the remnants of what was hurricane helene and it's on the southern flank were we have winds touching gale force. now clearing away, a thoroughly wet start to scotland in north—west england. working its way to the midlands. but too much rain further south. brighter skies developing through the morning, staying a little bit on the blowy side, especially on that part of the country. later in the day, showers return to northern ireland and some western areas. after that mild start, captures that a few degrees. still getting into the 20s. it will

stay breezy all day long. gusts around parts of england and wales. especially through this morning. into tonight, rather breezy. showers spreading from west to east across many areas. some clear skies in between the showers. temperatures still holding up. temperatures the most into wednesday morning, could bea most into wednesday morning, could be a windy day. a deep area of low pressure spreading to the north of the uk. parts of scotland, northern ireland, northern england, likely to see the worst of the wind is covered by this area. 50, 60, 70 miles an hour. that will certainly bring some travel disruption. a few showers

towards the south, showers coming and going. 0r northern ireland, brightening up later. confined to northern areas of the afternoon. still on the mild side further south with a few showers. a little less windy for the rest of the week. rain for the northern half of the country. dry and sunny weather around on friday. temperatures will be back to where they should be. all is right, or not. let's take a look at today's front pages. the daily telegraph says the broadcasting watchdog 0fcom is set to warn that 12 million people have been harmed by social media and the internet because online firms escape regulation. senior eu diplomats have told the guardian that the uk government will have to experience its "darkest hour" and face a no—deal scenario before it shifts its brexit stance. the times warns pregnant women

could face weigh—ins. it says guidance under consideration by the national institute for health and care excellence could set target weights for women, amid concern about obesity. and the "worst year for british rail since blair was pm," says the i, which reports that train punctuality is at its poorest since 2006. the tottenham boss dominates the back pages, pochettino, leaving two of their key players at home. he was

getting a bit of criticism about in his press conference. and in reply, and you do need a full quote, like a cow and you do need a full quote, like a cow who sees a train cross at the same time, you ask the cow or what time the train comes, and he won't have the right answer. that is his explanation as to why the two have been left at home. at the interesting headlines used throughout the papers. high stakes, all the rest of it. what is that quote? like a coward who sees a train cross at the same time, you ask the cow what time the train comes, that he won't have the answer. that has got to be some mixup in translation. some ancient proverb. if you ask the cow, he probably won't know the time. he speaks sense, that pochettino. it's like that whole seagulls thing with

ca nto na. like that whole seagulls thing with cantona. people saying, he's having a cantona moment. what's wong, poch, are you 0k? a cantona moment. what's wong, poch, are you ok? i would love to hear more analogies. it's like something you get on a fortune cookie. more analogies. it's like something you get on a fortune cookielj more analogies. it's like something you get on a fortune cookie. i tell you get on a fortune cookie. i tell you what, warmer than it might normally be. the story here in the mail about scraping the ice of your windscreen. new technology has been developed you can put it onto the windscreen when its first created which reduces the possibility of ice ever fallen which reduces the possibility of ice everfallen on it which reduces the possibility of ice ever fallen on it by 90%. when they make the car and after that, i remember once having to use a cd case. i had to use escape skate

dasher scraper. i used a credit card and snapped it. andy. it's easy to fall into all the jargon. we talk about it so often. but if you're really honest, how much do you know about the likes of "hard brexit" or the "chequers deal"? breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin has been chatting to people in chester and found some could explain the terminology — but many couldn't. i'm after a dictionary definition of these phrases. a definition of which each of those means. no deal, they can't agree on anything. what does this mean? no deal means that we are

back to normal, the same as they've been doing for the last 30 odd yea rs, been doing for the last 30 odd years, that i objected to. you think that's what no deal means? that we remain in the european union? if there is no deal? yes. hard brexit? we should have our own laws governing ourselves. soft brexit? no. hard brexit? it's complicated. a bit too complicated to me. chequers deal. it's a weak fudge. chequers deal, i have no clue. well, they all didn't agree on that one, did they? what is that. i know what the exchequer is, they handle the money. it's something about money.” exchequer is, they handle the money. it's something about money. i think there may be some concessions on trade. it's only a soft one. what do

soft brexit mean? 0h, don't ask me. meaning it is easy, i would say. it's all a mystery to me. don't put any...i it's all a mystery to me. don't put any... i don't want... it's all a mystery to me. don't put any... idon't want... i it's all a mystery to me. don't put any... i don't want... ijust realise, i don't know enough. nobody does! absolutely right, nobody does. it feels like the whole thing is overwhelming. even to the people who knew the terms don't necessarily know all the terms. plenty of people james spoke to, but a lot of people arejust james spoke to, but a lot of people are just bored of it. anyway, james spoke to, but a lot of people arejust bored of it. anyway, we still have to carry on talking about it. but what the fact that we have sent naga munchetty to brussels, at the end of all this, it's important for our country. you are in

brussels. looks glorious there. for our country. you are in brussels. looks glorious therem really is beautiful here. it is important because yes, we are confused, lots of us are confused so who better to talk to them this gorgeous setting than two people who live and breathe it. i have joining me now is jacki davis, eu commentator and analyst, and james crisp, the telegraph's brussels correspondent. you been here the 26 years, jackie, andjames, you been here the 26 years, jackie, and james, eight years. it's a lovely story, a rather special place to you. actually proposed to my wife here about six years ago and since then,in here about six years ago and since then, in stark contrast to the brexit negotiations, things have been going really well. i'm very pleased to hear that but it is a stark contrast. 26 years, you are here after the maastricht treaty and how do you think it is now

progressing, in terms of tone and the confusion or in terms of clarity? there's a tremendous sense of frustration, that we are over two years from the referendum, six months to go as of this week and still, we don't have the final shape of the divorce bill, and the outlines of what the future relationship will look like in brackley, people are quite astonished. britain has always been the awkward player around the table —— table. they expected that. they didn't expect what they see as chaos and confusion. we're here in the same week that the uk prime minister is going to salzburg to lay out more plans to eu ministers. how has the ground been set? i'm not optimistic that we are going to have magic breakthrough, that theresa may will have had ten minutes of time with the eu leaders, and come down like moses from the mount, with a deal. that is not going to happen. ten

minutes, and she will be greeted with a stony silence. all the 27 leaders won't be able to respond because they will then need to sit down and talk about what they said, discuss it with barnier and he will get it back to the prime minister. 0ne striking thing recently is the degree of unity among the 27. one of the things the british government has been trying to do is drive a wedge between them. find some friends who will fight your corner. it's absolutely fascinating how they have stuck together and being determined to halt by their principles. it is because they will see brexit as a potential threat to the club as a whole and their fundamental interest is to be part of the club. it's interesting you call the eu a club that wants to

stick together. boris johnson call the eu a club that wants to stick together. borisjohnson has been writing for your paper. it's fairto been writing for your paper. it's fair to say the uk's club is divided. i don't think the divisions caused by the referendum have been healed. you just have to look at twitter and every time i look at my smart phone it the equivalent of having edvard munch's the scream in yourface. having edvard munch's the scream in your face. that's an interesting analogy. we'll keep you updated. now it's time to the news, travel and weather where you are. good learning from bbc london news, i'm good learning from bbc london news, i' m charlotte good learning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. dozens of families in west london who were evacuated from their homes after flooding are waiting to find out when they can return. up to 80 properties and more than 100 residents were affected by the

moonjae—in, has arrived in pyongyang for historic talks with the north korean leader. he was met at the airport by kim jong—un, as well as large crowds who were waving flags. he's there for three days to try and revive stalled denuclearisation talks between north korea and the united states. the lib dem leader sir vince cable will call on theresa may to "shock us all" by holding a referendum on the brexit deal she strikes with brussels. he'll tell his party conference that he's "starting to feel sorry" for mrs may as she tries to deliver a policy which, he claims, she doesn't believe in. the prime minister has ruled out another referendum "under any circumstances". a russian military surveillance plane, carrying 14 people, has disappeared over the mediterranean. russian media is reporting that the plane vanished during israeli air strikes against syria. an anonymous us official told news agencies that washington believed syrian government anti—aircraft artillery accidentally downed the plane. elon musk has revealed

the first private passenger his company plans to fly around the moon. japanese billionaire and online fashion tycoon yusaku maezawa will take off on the big falcon rocket, which was launched by spacex in 2016. day italy has more. this is japanese billionaire yusaku maezawa, who made his fortune with music, retail and fashion and more recently has become one of the world ‘s most lavish collectors of art. in 2023 he may become the first private passenger to go into space. he says he hopes to bring 6—8 artists with him on thejourney. they

he hopes to bring 6—8 artists with him on the journey. they won't actually land on the moon's surface, but instead will travel around it, like nasa's apollo eight mission of 1978. and this is the craft that might take them there. which spacex says it stands for big falcon rocket, it hasn't been built yet and there will have to be several test flights first. this is dangerous. this is no walk in the park care, it will require a lot of training... yusaku maezawa will require a lot of training... yusa ku maezawa has will require a lot of training... yusaku maezawa has played —— paid an undisclosed amount to be the first on the trip, the total cost will be around $5 billion. also looking to do commercial space travel is a company run by amazon's founderjeff bezos, elon musk thinks he can get their first, bezos, elon musk thinks he can get theirfirst, this is a man with bezos, elon musk thinks he can get their first, this is a man with a rather cavalier attitude to his own deadlines. but he might get there, one—day. what a trip that would be. hope you

have got a return ticket. it was a glorious night for british screen stars at the emmys, as claire foy, thandie newton and charlie brooker all walked off with gongs in la. claire foy took home best leading actress for the crown, and welsh actor matthew rhys took home best leading actor at the 70th emmys ceremony. but the award winners were eclipsed by director glenn weiss's acceptance speech which he turned into a marriage proposal! will you marry me? cheering. thankfully, she said yes! too much for this time at the morning! dogs are well known for being man's best friend but this whippet has

formed a tweet relationship with a magpie. it happened when steve rostron took his pet dog, boo, for a walk and came across a distressed magpie behind a telephone junction box. it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. iam quite i am quite superstitious about magpies, i would i am quite superstitious about magpies, iwould need i am quite superstitious about magpies, i would need another one. it is one for sorrow, twojoely, he needs to find another distressed magpie, maybe. then i would be more co mforta ble. magpie, maybe. then i would be more comfortable. i think that could all change with a moment ‘s notice. comfortable. i think that could all change with a moment 's notice. they are friends for life. hope so. holly is here with us with the sport. very ominous! hopefully it will all be fine! you have got horses for us. from dogs to horses now. what a day for great britian at tryon in north carolina. ros, such an experienced rider with her last name, you would expect so.

she won gold in the individual events. that meant that team gb won gold in the team event overall, which is a fantastic achievement. they led the team event overnight but after a couple of mistakes they were onlyjust ahead — until ros canter and allstar b produced a faultless round. that gave britain their first team gold for eight years — and when germany's last rider knocked down the final fence, canter had individual gold too. quite emotional right now. i am just so proud of the force, he is absolutely phenomenal. double gold for great britain, how does that sound? absolutely amazing. i do so proud of everybody, they are phenomenal. —— i amjust

proud of everybody, they are phenomenal. —— i am just so proud. liverpool and tottenham both play today, as the champions league group stages get underway. anfield welcomes the brazilian star neymar tonight, as liveprool take on paris st germain. now he's a player often targeted by defenders and accused of going down under the slightest challenge, but the liverpool manager doesn't blame him. that is, for me, a completely normal reaction. because players are really going for him, that is the truth. and he wants to protect himself and i understand that as well. and if the opponent gets a yellow card then his life is closer to a red card. so i see from that perspective, it is smart that he saved himself. totteham kick off against inter milan at the san siro just before six o'clock our time. spurs have lost their last two premier league games, so they'll be look to england captain harry kane to spark an upturn in form. in the premier league, brighton came from 2—0 down

to rescue a point against southampton, who's pierre emile hojberg put away a contender for goal of the season as they dominated early on. but brighton responded in the second half and equalised through glenn murray's penalty in stoppage time. the rugby football union will reintroduce contracts for their england women's 15—a—side players to make them fully professional. captain sarah hunter said it gives young girl some to aspire to. the contracts were controversially scrapped after the 2017 world cup as the rfu focused on sevens rugby. but now there will be 28 contracts available plus seven elite player agreements. the boxing trainer, enzo calzaghe has died at the age of 69. he was the father of the former world boxing champion joe, and had guided his son to becoming a world champion in two differnet weight classes in an undefeated 46—fight career as a professional. despite having no experience as a trainer, enzo also went on to lead gavin rees and enzo maccarinelli to world titles in the sport. a visit to the local mosque turned

into quite an evening for a group of football fans in london. chelsea midfielder n'golo kante missed his eurostar train after his side's win over cardiff on saturday. he went to a mosque in kings cross, where arsenal fan badlur rahman jalil and his friends plucked up the courage to invite him round to their his house. 0thers arrived and they all had curry, played computer games, and watched match of the day together. just like the rest of us! that is what happens. see a premier league player, get him around for a curry. that is really good that he went around. are you sure you didn't have to pay in the end? sorry mate! thank you for now. as we've been hearing this morning,

for the first time in more than a decade, a south korean president has arrived in north korea. since the beginning of the year, north korea has embarked on an unprecedented path of meetings with both the south and the us. so just how significant is today's get—together? let's ask so—jin lim, who specialises in korean studies. good morning to you. let's start with our question. what matters so much about this particularly meeting? so, this time we have now observed differences from the past, so now they don't have official ceremonies, but they want to have something more practical, or they are at least trying to have something more practical. now, if you receive the gestures, they do not have this propaganda wearing red colours any more, they have liked and white like normally and kim

jong—un came to the airport to greet the president moonjae—in and now they are having in official meetings at the moment, which will not be broadcast simultaneously, which means they really want to have their own discussion. so this time it really looks like they want to achieve something practical. but at the same time, it is kind of questioning if they can achieve something practical because of other stakeholders like the us, china and russia. what would achieving some practical look like, what would that the? there would be a move into denuclearisation and having better economic development for the two countries on the peninsulas. the further thing would about the end of the amnesty agreement, the end of the amnesty agreement, the end of the war. you talk about other stakeholders, china, america. they are all feeding into this. it is not

really just those two are all feeding into this. it is not reallyjust those two men at are all feeding into this. it is not really just those two men at the table, there is a whole cast behind the scenes internationally. yes. especially for the us, they are now heading towards the november election and are in a hurry to achieve something before the election. china, like yesterday, they announced that they want to extend their one built one rogue initiative to the korean peninsula. —— one built, one road. —— one belt. and different interests will be there and that is why we need to consider the stakeholders. ya china on one side and the us on the other side and today's top story is that the trade war between those two is escalating. despite all the smiles and cheering, it is very tense, isn't it? it is, it is. president moonjae—in isn't it? it is, it is. president moon jae—in wants to isn't it? it is, it is. president moonjae—in wants to work as a mediator because china and us do not

wa nt to mediator because china and us do not want to reconcile, they will not give away, so that will be tense. we have just seen pictures of when kim jong—un met president trump, obviously that was a very historic moment as well. do you think anything, we see these pictures and we talk about how important they are, but then in practical terms are we going to see denuclearisation? that is the point of all of this. so, the most important thing, if you think about kim jong—un, he wants to be guaranteed, he will not give up denuclearisation if he is not guaranteed. is difficult for leaders ina guaranteed. is difficult for leaders in a democratic society that giving this confirmation to kim jong—un, who has been a dictator, that will be really difficult. because of that, we really need to see the long—term plan and how we react to de— nuclear is this country.

long—term plan and how we react to de- nuclear is this country. as we have seen, it has become more tense betweenjohn on have seen, it has become more tense between john on and have seen, it has become more tense betweenjohn on and president trump, do you think we will seek another meeting and more progress? we expect to have another meeting during the un general assembly next week, but president moonjae—in confirmed that they would not be any meeting. before november it looks like the us wa nts to before november it looks like the us wants to have more meetings, but kim jong—un will use it as a go getting power. —— negotiating. he wants to see what the us can guarantee for his future, then he will see if he can do it or not. thank you for coming in the. it is a quarter to seven. let's find out what is happening with the weather. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. windswept andrew has provided a great photo. quite a fitting name. not too bad in scotland. your

strongest winds will come through tomorrow but it's a pretty breezy start. 0n the southern flank of this area of low pressure. hurricane helene bringing gales. it's pretty mild, 17 degrees. 19 degrees in brussels. to go will all that, some wet weather for some parts. brussels. to go will all that, some wet weatherfor some parts. had she ran into is all pushing towards the midlands, rain easing off in northern ireland but northern england and parts of scotland, some heavy rain potatoes through the coming hours. that woollies away by mid—morning foremost. turning bright when the sunshine a few showers in the west of a lot more in the way of dry weather. sunshine across the uk this afternoon and after that mild start, it's going to be another pretty mild day to september. temperatures 19, 20 degrees in eastern scotland. 24, 25 to the south—east of england. the wind will

bea south—east of england. the wind will be a key feature. these are the mean wind speeds. remaining blustery through tonight as well. continuing to see showers work their way from west to east with clearer skies in between but not the direction of those wins tonight. even temperatures down yesterday's values, still another mild night to ta ke values, still another mild night to take us into tomorrow morning. tomorrow, even windier conditions compared to today. this is a deep area of low pressure spreading towards the north. the wettest weather there as well. it is covered by these yellow areas were the strongest of the wins would be. through the central belt of scotland, argyll & bute, 70 mph gusts. some travel disruption as well. stay tuned to the forecast. coupled with that, some heavy rain to go with it. we will see some rain

at times, north and west wales, a few showers to the south and east. things will brighten up in northern ireland in northern england later in the day. temperatures at the lower tomorrow but further south and east, temperatures into the 20s. things to turn a little bit quieter in towards the end of the week. it's still breezy but not quite as strong. a bit of rain around on thursday, looks like the northern half of the country but by friday, step and john, things looking a little bit brighter and drier. since the referendum the number of people coming to the uk from eastern europe has been falling fast. in the first three months of this year more of them left than arrived in the uk. i've been speaking to polish migrants here and in warsaw to find out why so many choosing to move back. warsaw, the polish capital, with a

booming economy and wages growing 7% this year, there are lots of things to tempt back the 1 million poles living in the uk. there are lots of industry is doing well here so your traditional ones, manufacturing and agriculture but also things like financial services and tech companies as well. iamoff iam offto i am off to meet bolivia, who's just moved back here from the uk. poland is steadily developing and i see the change, i see the new buildings, restau ra nts, change, i see the new buildings, restaurants, shops. did you ever consider stating in the uk? yeah, i'd say. i spent one year and i love

london, it's a beautiful city. iwas considering but still, ijob opportunities here for me are better in warsaw. now, since the referendum, the number of people coming to the uk from poland has fallen fast. in fact, in the first three months of this year, more people left the uk then arrived and it's the first time we've seen that happen since poland joined the eu. unemployment has fallen and is at a record low. in fact, there are a lot ofjob vacancies to the government is trying to encourage more people to come back year survey have been lots of incentives, things like benefits to young families. back in the uk, coventry has been twinned with warsaw since 1957. so what do the polish people here think about

going back? we were in discussion with my husband and friends and we just decided to stay here because we've got our life here, we've got house here, we've got friends here. have any of you ever thought about going back to poland? yes, first of all after brexit results. but when my sister came to the uk, we went to the restaurant some guyjust popped in and asked us to speak in english because we are in england. that must make you feel so frustrated and upset. i think it makes us feel unwanted in this country. that's why we are thinking about other options. what are your thoughts on how poland is doing now? well, yes, said the economy is developing but i think the quality of life is not going as fa st the quality of life is not going as fast as the economy, maybe the salaries are a little bit better but

still, much lower than other european countries. there are lots of polish people who see great opportunities here. mateusz works in an engineering company. coventry has an engineering company. coventry has an engineering company. coventry has an engineering history in terms of research and development. cbd have more opportunities here than you would have been poland?” more opportunities here than you would have been poland? i wouldn't be able to do the same things back in poland that i would hear. for the polish migrants have made a life in the uk, there is clearly a pull in both directions. the country they've left behind has seen an economic conservation. 0pportunities left behind has seen an economic conservation. opportunities and wages are growing but there's still a lot of catching up to do and with a lot of catching up to do and with a polish right—wing government, some migrants here feel like going back is still not an option. the thing i got a sense of is that the referendum had definitely caused a lot of debate among polish people here in the uk. a lot of people have

gone back but also the sense of talking to those ladies, they were saying, we've got children saying they are british now. it'sjust really interesting but equally, warsaw is growing well. a school shortage in poland as well. some of the problems we have here, the economy growing so much. it's all pa rt economy growing so much. it's all part of our coverage looking at what the impact of brexit might be. well naga is live in brussels for us this morning. good morning. is someone getting married behind? yes! there is romance for us. having some wedding photos taken. the

centre of brussels. behind me as the town hall, a 14th century building. so many gilded buildings. we will talk about gilding. look at the top of the town hall. it is a gothic building but on the top of that supplier there is a five metres high guilt metal statue of the arch angel michael who is the patron saint of brussels, slaying a dragon or a devil. there is your bit of romance. six months now before the uk is officially leaving the european union. the dates will be friday the 29th of march 2019 at 11 o'clock. now we are talking about all the negotiations. in salzburg, 900 qantas away, theresa may will be making her way for a meeting on thursday, the 20th official meeting with eu heads of state. she will be presenting her plan, the current

plan, try to present a united front to the eu leaders. brussels, we are here because there is no official capital of the eu, it is the de fa cto capital of the eu, it is the de facto capital. what are they going to be discussing this morning? at the moment, we understand that of the moment, we understand that of the withdrawal agreement, around 80% is agreed. these of the small points but the 20% that is not been signed off, so to speak, those are the big issues that theresa may is going to be presenting, presenting some of the eu leaders on her side. perhaps in stark contrast to what is going on to theresa may and the cabinet. we will be bringing you more of the view from the eu and give you a bit of romance this morning. we all like a little bit of love. a little bit of romance with that couple getting

married. those are wedding selfies, by the look. i offered, but they are not interested. seeing some of her photos, i'm not surprised. you're watching breakfast. still to come this morning. arachnophobes beware — spider season is back! we'll be finding out what you can do if creepy crawlies give you the creeps. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. dozens of families in west london who were evacuated from their homes after flooding are waiting to find out when they can return. up to 80 properties and more

i'm back in half an hour. now though it's back to jon and stef. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with steph mcgovern and jon kay. 0ur headlines today: the trade war intensifies between the world's two largest economies. the us imposes new tariffs on chinese products worth £150 billion. one in five people in the uk is affected by harmful content on social media and the internet. the broadcasting watchdog calls for tougher regulation. good morning. we are coming to you from the heart of brussels where the brexit negotiations will take place. it is less than six months until britain leads the eu. we will give you their view. it's team gold for great britain at the world equestrian games, and a flawless round from ros canter on allstar b gives her the individual title too. plenty of gongs for british actors at the emmy awards in los angeles. claire foy among the winners for her portrayal of

states, but potentially it affects all of us because the economies are so influential. absolutely. they are the world ‘s biggest economies, the top two and so, a fight between these two titans will have repercussions for the rest of us. it is asa repercussions for the rest of us. it is as a result of more uncertainty amongst global economies, already the international monetary fund has pointed to global lower growth if the trade war between united states and china continues. to all intents and china continues. to all intents and purposes, this is the big concern for many people going forward. right now what you got is almost half of everything that china makes and sells tv united date under these new tariffs, 10% tariff from next monday, 25%, it goes up from january 2019. at the trump

administration has said that if china retaliate to this round, it will put a tax, a tariff on the rest of stuff that china sells to the united states. effectively, everything that china makes it would face at tariff going into the us. this makes negotiating for future deals or a possible resolution to this very difficult. if you want to have a negotiation face—to—face and we need to have coffee and how would you say, peace for the environment, i would say that the us action is not good for this kind of bilateral negotiations. i hope that the us will think again and sit down and have a talk with china, otherwise this kind of trade war will really become a two edged knife. a two

edged knife, which means that both the united states and china would be infected. but it is also the rest of us. what this does to global confidence is it makes businesses think twice, perhaps three times, should i build that next factory, should i build that next factory, should i build that next factory, should i hire more people? all of that has an impact on economic growth for countries far away from the united states and china. thank you for that update. social media sites and the internet have caused harm to one in five people in the uk, according to the head of the broadcast watchdog 0fcom. sharon white wants online firms to be subject to proper state regulation, to end what she calls the "standards lottery". jane—frances kelly reports. protesters showing their anger towards facebook earlier this year. one of its executives faced questions from mps, following revelations about the harvesting of users data. what is the rough square footage of your home?

jonathan blake is in brighton. how do you think this message is going to go down with the party? morning. i think it will go down very well with the party members who have gathered for their conference in brighton. we have heard that the lib dems struggling to be heard, they are a limited presence in parliament and get support in polls, but riggs is one issue where they can set themselves apart from the other two main parties. they are dedicated to stopping it anyway that they can and that will be the message for supporters today, they say that the fundamentalist and the costs of brexit have always been the releva nce costs of brexit have always been the relevance of the use of economic pain justified by the erotic spasm of leaving the eu. he also says that

people are starting to follow —— feel sorry for the prime minister and that deep down she doesn't believe in it and she should shock us believe in it and she should shock us all in considering a public vote on the final brexit deal. the trouble for sir vince cable and the lib dems is that there is very little sign that the government is thinking about doing that. the prime minister has ruled out a public vote on the final deal under any circumstances. but this is an attempt by the lib dems to get themselves heard, which our struggle to do on an issue which is central to do on an issue which is central to their beliefs at the moment. thank you. we will be talking to sir vince cable in about five minutes time. a russian military surveillance plane, carrying 14 people, has disappeared over the mediterranean. russian media is reporting that the plane vanished during israeli air strikes against syria. an anonymous us official told news agencies that washington believed syrian government anti—aircraft artillery accidentally downed the plane. elon musk has revealed the first private passenger his company plans

going, looking ahead at what brexit might mean. and will it ever end? we can head back to brussels now, where naga has been looking ahead to brexit. morning everyone. 0ne morning everyone. one of the other things we talk about when we focus on what in the uk, is about the confusion, the infighting particulate with conservatives, over brexit. but what about the view from here? who better to get it from then katya adler? glorious setting. here? who better to get it from then katya adler? glorious settingm brussels, it is not always like this. we talk about the confusion, the infighting in the uk. what is happening over here in terms of how eu leaders have been with each other as they tackle the exit? as far as

the eu,i as they tackle the exit? as far as the eu, i have been carrying —— covering eu politics for a long time and you see the eu as a dysfunctional family. it is a family but they are fighting around the breakfast table, the lunch and dinnertable breakfast table, the lunch and dinner table all the time. thing about the migration crisis, that was about the migration crisis, that was a real example of this unity, everybody trying to close their borders on each other. surprisingly, and even for seasoned eu watchers like myself, on brexit they have. together. that made sense at the beginning of the negotiations, you remember those arguments about the brexit bill, all the uk paying its views when it lead, leeds. —— leaves. but now you're talking about the future relationship, they are sticking together because they think there is for their advantage and they do want to break the rules for just one country, the uk, even though they want to keep the uk closer. how his theresa may viewed at amongst the eu leaders in terms

of her negotiating ability and watch is presenting? so, theresa may is viewed with a lot of sympathy right now among the eu leaders are. when i talked to prime ministers they say we have all been in hot water and they can see that she is in the steaming hot water back home at the moment. there is a sympathy with her. i think, moment. there is a sympathy with her. ithink, write now moment. there is a sympathy with her. i think, write now what there is is an absolute focus on this, why are close to four months we have heard the eu tapping their finger, saying it time is running out. —— why? because under eu law, when a member state wants to leave, this is the first time, there are only two years for negotiations. those two years for negotiations. those two years run out on march 29 next year, there has to be an exit deal in place in an uptime for the uk parliament to vote on it and for the european parliament to vote on it to two. negotiations have made

progress, despite all of the bus going on, but there is some key sticking points. we have our red lines, the eu has their red lines as well, but make no mistake, the eu really wants to deal because it will be costly for european businesses, as fort uk businesses, if the uk crashes out of the eu in arched next year without a deal in place. at the moment, eu leaders say it will be tough, we think we can do it this autumn, they are worried about theresa may getting any deal through parliament at home that she might make here. don't forget, this is about the exit deal. and a non— legally binding paragraph on what the future relationship will be like after bricks between the eu and the uk. after we leave, that is the negotiations begin again about our future trade deal, security deal and all the rest. it is not the end of the story. i was mentioning earlier that when you look at the withdrawal agreement, around 80% of people

figure out has been 0k. agreement, around 80% of people figure out has been ok. but the 20% remaining are the bigger issues. how long it is six months reasonable amount of time? because there is 27 member states here, sitting across the table from the uk, that makes no. you talked about how they don't get on, can you imagine brussels and to berlin shut up, i think we should be talking about this. it wouldn't work. they know that they can never agree like that. they have chosen one person, michel barnier, and he negotiates on behalf of them. he is ata negotiates on behalf of them. he is at a negotiator that he said just the other week he thinks it is realistic that by november there could be a deal in place, but, but, but, there are still big sticking point. we hear a lot about theresa may's checkers brexit postal. there isa may's checkers brexit postal. there is a lot of storm about that in the uk, whata is a lot of storm about that in the uk, what a disagreement about that in the eu. that has to be ironed out or fudged over in order to get

through the autumn. then there is the irish border, you hear a lot about that. but the eu and the uk have signed up to avoid a hard border being reintroduced between northern ireland and the republic of ireland after brexit because of the peace process that is still under way there. and also because, don't forget, northern ireland becomes the land border after bricks between the eu and the uk and the eu is mindful about that. that is a difficult issue as well. can it got over? it can, but it will be very difficult and there is such domestic politics at play for theresa may. you mentioned michel barnier being a tough negotiator, now we have dominic rather and said what difference does that make the! not as much as you would like us to think. it comes in talks to the boss negotiator. he talks to barnier, the boss gautier, that's true but the real negotiations are going on at a technical level and that is not

dominic raab. the eu are impressed with him, he knows his brief, his loyal to theresa may. he likes to use words like them and figures so his company with a bounce but to be honest, behind—the—scenes comedy need —— the eu negotiators are saying, fine. we have to sort out the technical details. the eu was a rules —based organisation. that is what the difficulty in these negotiations are. the eu wants a close relationship with the uk that it has to meet its rules as well. great talking to you. there are going to keep bringing you the view from the eu throughout the morning. we've had discussions you this morning hearing about all the jargon that so goes on, soft brexit, hard

brexit. if you want to get a really good jargon buster about all those terms and trying to get your head around it, go to the bbc website. there is a really great explainer there, with six months to go. if you feel like it's all gotten too much. there is a good search function where you can type in one of the jargon words. explaining what it means. what are we talking about ain? means. what are we talking about again? you can go to the pub and impress yourfriends. again? you can go to the pub and impress your friends. matt always impresses us with the weather. i am full ofjargon, yes. this is the scene just a full ofjargon, yes. this is the scenejust a short full ofjargon, yes. this is the scene just a short while ago. trees starting to bend in the breeze. remnants of the next hurricane in

today. most notably across scotland and northern ireland. not helped by the strength of that. it could be some disruptions. the winds easing through the rest of the week. friday, looking dryer and brighter. matt, can you handle the spiders? i'm the cheap spider collector in my house. i don't like them either but john, you are... has your house been invaded by spiders recently? if it has, you're not alone. hashtag #spiderseason has been trending on social media, as people post pictures of the creatures taking over their homes. but are there really more spiders around than usual? and how much longer will arachnophobes have to cope with this eight—legged invasion? let's get more from spider specialist sara goodacre. do we have more spiders use the than

normal? it's hard to be sure. in one year to the next, things can change. we know it's been a really hot summer, it's been really dry there are probably been more mosquitoes and spiders eat and sometimes that means that you use —— you lose one type of spider and it helps because spiders eat other spiders. i would say, we really don't know and maybe buy next you, people would have given us information which means we can takea given us information which means we can take a look. china were behind you is freaking me out. you are an arachnologist, a brilliant title but you must be aware that lots of people hate them. absolutely, and thatis people hate them. absolutely, and that is the puzzle. i did a puzzle on how many people report arachnophobia and it makes me cross because quite often, it is rooted in

fear that isn't real and like to get the message out that people should get the information and decide for themselves. if we were this afraid ofa themselves. if we were this afraid of a beer or a wasp or we would do something but people report this yearin something but people report this year in parts of the world were spiders aren't dangerous. it was rooted in fear, you would expect it to be more common and there are parts of the world, and we work with schoolchildren and community groups and we study how fantastically marvellous they are. there is a hawaiian happy face spider. it shows the optimism. an arachnologist turning the spider upside down. because of the colour in different shapes they make. they are really important. beat the pests we don't wa nt important. beat the pests we don't want and they also inspire us to make materials. —— they eat the pests. we've made silk that has antibiotics stuck to it. making

really smart materials. we think this is really the beginning. i am a little bit biased. i will confess. we have mr whitby, our whip scorpion. he is an arachnid. fergus the scorpion, very docile. the train journey in hotels don't help. actually really sort of speaks to the fact that people are worried. if we could change the dialogue and say, as part of your world, these creatures around you. they are not dangerous in this country. you could join people like me in finding out more about them. we swallow loads of spiders in our lifetime. how would you know that? i don't know how people come to that answer. but really, the key thing is, they don't

bite. if you look at parts of the world where there are some venomous spiders, then you do find a really small number of people getting bitten. it's really well documented. what has happened is, people have a puncture wound and that could be from a staple or are born, something in the garden and they blame the spider. the reason why is important to be honest as people start saying, if we get rid of the spiders, are safe. there are dangerous things like cars, what we across the road, or chatter all sorts of things that could be a real danger. spiders are not anything to worry about. they are part of the natural world. if you let them live in your home, they provide the most amazing vitamin pills. a confident? i've never swallowed a ca r,

pills. a confident? i've never swallowed a car, so i'm less confident about them. if things are changing, and imagine there are more spiders come into their homes, maybe because of some other factors. maybe they are finding more things sweet around our homes, they are doing a good job. it will be good to know that. there are ways in which you can record or contribute to recording efforts. there are spider recording efforts. there are spider recording programmes. but encourage people to get involved with a local arachnid logical society, get involved and tell them what you found. my best ever fancy dress was a spider. banks are coming in and not bringing any spiders. good morning from bbc london news, dozens of families in west london who were evacuated

from their homes after flooding are waiting to find out when they can return. up to 80 properties and more than a hundred residents were affected by the rising water in west drayton, caused by a burst main. affinity water has apologised to customers and said water supplies in the area are now beginning to recover. genetic links to anxiety and depression are being explored in the largest ever study into mental health. the project by kings college london will involve findings from 40 thousand volunteers. it aims to improve support and treatment options and understand the impact of genes and the environment on mental health conditions. a charity farm in south—east london is appealing for the public's help after eleven piglets were stolen. the litter — born just two weeks ago — are not weaned and were snatched from surrey docks farm overnight on friday. without a regular supply of milk from their mothers it's feared they may not survive on their own. staff say there was no sign of a break—in and the robbery was not caught on cctv.

the pride of lions in trafalgar square have grown in number. there are now five, thanks to a new interactive sculpture. the latest addition will roar words that are fed to it by members of the public. it'll stay in place until sunday as part of the london design festival. let's have a look at the travel situation now. the dlr is suspended this morning. 0n the trains — greater anglia services between liverpool street, cambridge, hertford east & stansted airport are diverted via seven sisters, as debris has been caught in the overhead wires at tottenham. 0nto the roads — restrictions continue at the rotherhithe tunnel. it's only open to vehicles under 2 tonnes in weight and under 2 metres in height.

traffic is building towards the blackwall tunnel and tower bridge. good morning. it's another mild start out there this morning but a very breezy one. we've got quite a cloud around. this cloud is not going to last all day, will gradually move away so some lovely sunny spells feeling warm in the sunshine as well but we still have the breeze don't forget, with more cloud moving in from the west, temperatures still reaching around 24 celsius. a lovely evening, actually, with some sunshine, a nice warm evening and overnight, clear spells at first, but more cloud again coming in from the west through the second part of the night. staying dry, all in all, minimum temperature between 14 and 16 celsius, so another mild one, similar to last night. we're hanging onto the wind overnight. it remains very gusty as we head through the course of wednesday. gusts of 40 mph at times. a bit of drizzle first thing but it should clear to a bright and sunny spells in the afternoon and the temperature

staying in the low 20s. i'm back in half an hour. plenty more on the website. now it's back tojohn and steph. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and steph mcgovern. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. a trade war between the world's two largest economies has stepped up, with the us imposing new tariffs on thousands of chinese products worth £150 billion. the higher import taxes will apply to almost 6,000 items, including handbags, rice and textiles, marking the biggest round of us tariffs so far. china has previously vowed to retaliate against any further us action. social media sites and the internet have caused harm to one in five people in the uk, according to the head of the broadcast watchdog 0fcom. sharon white wants online firms to be subject to proper state regulation, to end what she calls the "standards lottery".

the companies have long argued for self—regulation, earlier this year facebook and youtube hired 30,000 more content moderators. the south korean president moon has arrived in pyongyang for historic talks with the north korean leader. he was met at the airport by kim jong—un, as well as large crowds who were waving flags. he's there for three days to try and revive stalled denuclearisation talks between north korea and the united states. the lib dem leader sir vince cable will call on theresa may to "shock us all" by holding a referendum on the brexit deal she strikes with brussels. he'll tell his party conference that he's "starting to feel sorry" for mrs may as she tries to deliver a policy which, he claims, she doesn't believe in. the prime minister has ruled out another referendum "under any circumstances". a russian military surveillance

plane, carrying 14 people, has disappeared over the mediterranean. russian media is reporting that the plane vanished during israeli air strikes against syria. an anonymous us official told news agencies that washington believed syrian government anti—aircraft artillery accidentally downed the plane. the british cave diver who helped with the rescue of 12 thai teenagers from a flooded cave injuly is suing elon musk for defamation. vernon unsworth was accused of being a child abuser by musk on several occasions. the lawsuit seeks around £57,000 in compensation and an injuction to prevent further allegations. dogs are well known for being man's best friend, but this whippet has formed a relationship with a magpie. it happened when steve rostron took his pet dog, boo, for a walk and came across a distressed magpie behind

a telephone junction box. it was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. a video of the pair posted on social media has got more than half a million views. i would need to two. i am suspicious. coming up this morning, spiders. 0ur social media is melting down. andrea says i keep finding them in the parts. julia suggested use teabags in the corner of the room to get rid of them. jane says she has a spray that smells of mint. i like this one from stuart. what you didn't see on camera yesterday had a bath of moss —— a bunch of

potholes, apparently spiders see moths. —— eat. —— moth holes. i like spiders actually. it is only john on the sofa. i wouldn't like a whole of them around me but like you said, they see the bad things. the spider expert saying that they provide or of health benefits, the genetics of them is interesting. we are team spider here. from spiders to horses. there was a lot of talk about this event here, storm florence was causing problems all weekend. the event was meant to happen on sunday but was moved and took place yesterday. it did in two

ros canter any harm. win win there. great name as well. with a surname like that, you cannot go wrong. what a day for great britain at tryon in north carolina. they led the team event overnight but after a couple of mistakes they were onlyjust ahead, until ros canter and allstar b produced a faultless round. that gave britain team gold, and when germany's last rider knocked down the final fence, canter had individual gold too. i absolutely can't believe it. quite emotional right now. i am just so proud of allstar b, he is absolutely phenomenal. double gold for great britain in the eventing, how does that sound ? absolutely amazing. i do so proud of everybody, the whole team. they are just phenomenal. liverpool and tottenham both play today, as the champions league group stages get underway. anfield welcomes the brazilian star neymar tonight, as liveprool take on paris st germain. now he's a player often targeted by defenders and accused of going down under the slightest challenge,

but the liverpool manager doesn't blame him. that's, for me, a completely normal reaction, because players are really going for him, that is the truth. and he wants to protect himself and i understand that as well. so, if the opponent gets a yellow card so then he is closer to a red card. so i see from that perspective. i thought it is smart that he saves himself. tottenham kick off against inter milan at the san siro just before six o'clock our time. spurs have lost their last two premier league games, so they'll be looking to england captain harry kane to spark an upturn in form. in the premier league, brighton came from 2—0 down to rescue a point against southampton, who's pierre emile hojberg put away a contender for goal of the season, as they dominated early on. but brighton responded in the second half and equalised through glenn murray's

penalty in stoppage time. the rugby football union's decision to reintroduce contracts for their england women's 15—a—side players has been universally welcomed. captain sarh hunter said it gave young girls something to aspire to. contracts were controversially scrapped last year but the rfu say this move will help england become the best women's side in the world. there will be 28 full—time professionals, plus seven elite players. the boxing trainer, enzo calzaghe has died at the age of 69. he was the father of the former world championjoe, and had guided his son through an undefeated 46—fight career as a professional. despite having no experience as a trainer, in 2007 calzaghe won the bbc sport coach of the year award, as well as ring magazine trainer of the year. a visit to the local mosque turned into quite an evening for a group

of football fans in london. chelsea midfielder n'golo kante missed his eurostar train after his side's win over cardiff on saturday. he went to a mosque in kings cross, where arsenalfan badlur rahmanjalil and his friends plucked up the courage to invite him round to his house. 0thers arrived and they all had curry, played computer games, and watched match of the day together. that is me on the telly! can you imagine? imagine seeing your hero and asking to go for a curry. is good job you can film it because no one would believe that. don't believe it. canter to kante! one would believe that. don't believe it. canterto kante! . it was meant to be an eye—catching poster campaign to tackle teenage pregancy, but an nhs advert has been branded out of touch and sexist.

the ad shows an image of high heels and lipstick next to a dummy and asks "would you give up this? for this?" walsall healthcare nhs trust, which launched the campaign, has apologised for the advert, but insists its played an important role in combatting teenage pregnany. let's talk more about this now to mum blogger vicky psarias and advertising executive nicky unsworth. thanks very much forjoining us. can i ask you first nicky, you are a person who knows how to make a good ad what did you think when you saw this? it is an admirable subject and they are trying to tackle it, they said some of the right things but probably in the wrong environment and certainly in the wrong way. advertising is all that changing behaviour, relating to the people that you are targeting. i think there is some clumsy stereotyping

going on that has made it a topic of debate. is also about attention, they have certainly got that, i wonder if that was the end game. that is a great point and it is about grabbing attention. public sector advertising is usually a small budget and they have to stand out. the problem here is that the attention is around the execution and not around the topic on the topic is about contraception for youngsters. if it made us talk about contraception that might have been more successful. let's talk too geeky as well, it you blog a lot about being a parent and talked a lot to other parents about this. what was your take's i was shocked like a lot of people. there is clu msy like a lot of people. there is clumsy stereotypes and it perpetuate this very limited view of parenting and mothers. i know the one targeted men wasn't much better. they defended their positions, saying it

is because they are 14 —year—olds and they did market research. culturally, it feels very negative, feeling massively archaic and if taken us backwards, not forward. you think there is a view of older people, whereas teenagers might not that and it might work for them? potentially. it is dangerous stereotyping saying that it is mutually exclusive to like lipstick and heels, going on the ads for the boys and girls then to have a baby and actually i don't think that is positive. meanwhile, we are seeing these in the public domain anyway. people in their 20s, 30s and 40s who are having babies are also being said this story that you become identity last when you have a baby. —— lust. it is pretty dangerous and it is a

pad like we are going back to the 40s and 50s. do you agree with the points she made? that we are not the target audience and maybe we don't understand the relevance and maybe this does hit home. again it is a great point, and one of the things we need to do really well is understand the target audience. when i knew i was coming to talk to you about it, i tested it on young friends, the problem is that it doesn't resonate. better relate to the image and they don't go on to read the final point about contraception. we may not be target audience, but i don't believe that that necessarily is tackling the issue for that audience. this is the other ad that was designed, presumably, for teenage boys. the language there as well, would they have done a focus group of teenagers? it is interesting. you can do think that one small focus group would have flagged these

issues. i admire that they got out there with a topic that is really important, but it does make you feel that one focus group had flagged that, the language feels little bit clumsy, a little bit patronising, a little bit condescending. the one thing you would say that is a positive is that this is like juan mata focus group. —— one matter. but it doesn't like a language those youngsters would be using. andjust on that point as well, how would you have done it if you were creating an ad like this? ya put me on the spot here! i definitely wouldn't have used these very banal stereotypes, if you were that 14—year—old girls, they like stereotypes as well. that, for me it was a sexist as well. i would focus on contraception and really drum that home and offer information. that is what young

people want. they want to know they have choices and where to find them, making that very clear and using colours and a tone of voice that really does resonate. like i said, very archaic, old—fashioned imagery, not even imagery that we look at on twitter at facebook or instagram. unfortunately, for me, it really has failed. thank you very much. it certainly got attention anyway. it certainly got attention anyway. it has, which is the main point of these campaigns. matters got the weather for us this morning. hello, john and steph. a pretty wild morning to some of you out there. this is the scene a short while ago on the south coast of wales. winds gusting around 50, 50 five. gales across other parts of england and wales, due to what was an ex— hurricane. hurricane helene it

originated in the tropics, we have some tropical air with others as well. rain has also come in. the bit ofa well. rain has also come in. the bit of a bad hair day. the wind, the rain, patchy rain and drizzle. central and eastern areas, the wind is much lighter to what they were further south. sunny spells developing, wanted to continuing across scotland. the afternoon shower to the west of england and wales but the most to be this afternoon, dry and sunny spells, a big improvement what you have out there the moment and temperatures still on the high side this time of year. widely into the 20s across england and wales. the winds are from the south—west, bringing that tropical area. as we said, scotland, northern ireland, blustery weather to come. showers spreading their way

from west to east. not going to rain all night long. still, those wins coming in from a south—westerly direction. that will keep temperatures up on the mild side. 10- 16 temperatures up on the mild side. 10— 16 degrees. into tomorrow, and even windier spell of weather coming more widely. this is quite a deep area of low pressure. we are going to see the strongest of the winds. winds gusting widely. in excess of 70 miles an hour, not out of the question during the morning rush hour. that could cause some damage. keep tuned to the forecast. heavy rain to go with it. the northern half of the country, particularly in the morning. sunshine and showers across many areas of england and wales. even here, winds gusting 40, 50 mph in places as well. a very

windy day right across the board, feeling much pressure in the north, even with sunshine developing into the afternoon. a fresh appeal will be with all of us towards the end of the week. eating down a bit, but it blustery. 0n the week. eating down a bit, but it blustery. on friday, more of you will stay dry and sunny. an "erotic spasm" for "brexit fundamentalists". that is how the liberal democrat leader sir vince cable will describe brexit in a speech at the party conference later today. it's part of his drive to challenge the 2016 referendum with a so—called "people's vote". hejoins us now from brighton. we can speak to serbians now. erotic spasm. that doesn't sound like your kind of language. are you having to make such comments to get attention for the lib dems? it's a colourful metaphor, the basic point i'm making, is that there are people who

are absolutely committed to taking britain out of the european union on any terms or no terms at all, even if it causes immense damage. that's one of the reasons why we believe at the end of the process, when we know what theresa may is negotiated or not negotiated, the public should have a chance to say. this is what we wa nt have a chance to say. this is what we want all we remain where we are in the european union. the pavlich had a chance, they had a referendum in 2016 and a majority voted for brexit. surely as a liberal democrat, you have to accept that element of democracy.” democrat, you have to accept that element of democracy. i am a democrat and i did accept the results of the referendum. the world has moved on. having had a vote in principle to leave, we are now getting a better idea about what brexit actually means all might mean. the world has moved on, it's a very different place. we have elections. when we have an election,

we don't vote governments in him permanently. we give them an opportunity to change their mind in the light of changing circumstances. it seems entirely right and democratic that when we have a clearer picture about what brexit actually means, it means that people should have an opportunity to come to an original decision. we had a general election last year, and an overwhelming majority of people voted for the two main parties which said they were going to see through brexit anew, as the biggest anti— brexit anew, as the biggest anti— brexit party in the uk, took a hammering they had another say and they went for brexit. an enormous amount of change, as you can see happening. with the possible exception for a leader and a handful of mps. exception for a leader and a handful of mp5. the labour party supported by the trade union movement. the mayor of london and others are saying, for goodness sake, given the disaster that is now looming, our

party has got to demand a people's vote. i've been going around the country speaking to rallies with conservative mps. desperately unhappy about the brexit process. let's talk about this potential mechanism. another referendum. if theresa may comes back to the deal, that would have to be asked about. no deal would have to be an option. wood remaining in the eu be an option? you've got at least three things to vote for. it's impossible to have a referendum that is that complicated, isn't it? parliament would have to decide precisely how to oppose it. it is injust a question of the question on the ballot paper. there is an issue

about whether 16, 17 —year—olds have about whether 16, 17 —year—olds have a vote. a whole lot of practical considerations. the questions themselves that would be on that form. it is the job of parliament to define. posing the question, there is an independent electoral commission to determine these things. this is in quantum physics. we are dealing with a series of options on the question on the ballot paper, something to be determined. why do you think it is? if you are campaigning for a referendum, why is it that the liberal democrats are failing to cut through, possibly a slight increase in the poll but you're just not really making any electoral headway. we haven't had a massive

breakthrough. with only had one test of electoral opinion. we've had a best result in 15 years. we had a massive upsurge in members and supporters. there is a momentum. when there is a test of electoral opinion, we will shock everybody by how well we do. i wonder whether you're a great talking about standing down before the next scheduled general election. for your members in the public, it's a case of the public —— the party treading water, isn't it? no, i'm approaching this in our professional way. there are certain tasks i have to do is leader. seen through some major

reforms. if there is a general election in the wake of brexit. this could happen, change of conservative leadership. but doesn't it leave you asa leadership. but doesn't it leave you as a lame—duck leader in the meantime? a sensible, grown-up way, but i'm doing. we got some very talented people. sir vince cable, leader of the liberal democrats, thank you to joining leader of the liberal democrats, thank you tojoining us. good morning. we are in brussels in

la grande place, the heart of the negotiating table. sadly confusing terms around. we are going to try and lost some of the myths surrounding them. hard brexit, soft brexit. no deal, checkers deal, which one is going to get through. emily and antonia with me. emily has been responsible for setting us up here. thank you to that. what about the confusion? it is confusing price is well and we are waiting to see what happens next. aren't we all? we are going to keep bringing you the view from the eu, busting some of these phrases that i shall leave you with one of the gilded buildings here in la grande place in brussels. there is charles alexander up on his

course. it's time to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hopefully a little less confusing. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. dozens of families in west london who were evacuated from their homes after flooding are waiting to find out when they can return. up to 80 properties and more than a hundred residents were affected by the rising water in west drayton, caused by a burst main. affinity water has apologised and said it's working to support affected customers and ensure their properties are restored. genetic links to anxiety and depression are being explored in the largest ever study into mental health. the project by kings college london will involve findings from 40,000 volunteers. it aims to improve support and treatment options and understand the impact of genes and the environment on mental health conditions. a charity farm in south—east london is appealing for the public's help after eleven

piglets were stolen. the litter — born just two weeks ago — are not weaned and were snatched from surrey docks farm overnight on friday. without a regular supply of milk from their mothers it's feared they may not survive on their own. staff say there was no sign of a break—in and the robbery was not caught on cctv. the pride of lions in trafalgar square have grown in number. there are now five, thanks to a new interactive sculpture. the latest addition will roar words that are fed to it by members of the public. it'll stay in place until sunday as part of the london design festival. let's have a look at the travel situation now. the dlr is part—suspended this morning and there are minor delays on tfl rail. 0n the trains — greater anglia services between liverpool street, cambridge, hertford east & stansted airport are diverted via seven sisters, as debris has been caught in the overhead wires at tottenham. and there are delays of up to ten minutes on south western railway between wimbledon and waterloo due to speed restrictions near clapham junction

and onto the roads — restrictions continue at the rotherhithe tunnel. it's only open to vehicles under 2 tonnes in weight and under 2 metres in height. let's have a check on the weather now with kate kinsella. it's another mild start out there this morning but a very breezy one. we've got quite a cloud around. at first, it's dry, but the gusty wind, gusts of 35, maybe 40 mph is a pretty strong. this cloud is not going to last all day, will gradually move away so some lovely sunny spells feeling warm in the sunshine as well but we still have the breeze don't forget, with more cloud moving in from the west, temperatures still reaching around 24 celsius. a lovely evening, actually, with some sunshine, a nice warm evening and overnight, clear spells at first, but more cloud again coming in from the west through the second part of the night. staying dry, all in all, minimum temperature between 14 and 16 celsius, so another mild one, similar to last night. we're hanging onto the wind overnight. it remains very gusty as we head through the course of wednesday. gusts of 40 mph at times.

a bit of drizzle first thing but it should clear to a bright and sunny spells in the afternoon and the temperature for the next couple of days staying in the low 20s. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with steph mcgovern and jon kay. 0ur headlines today... the trade war intensifies between the world's two largest economies.

the usa imposes new tariffs on chinese products worth £150 billion. one in five people in the uk is affected by harmful content on social media and the internet — the broadcasting watchdog calls for tougher regulation. good morning here from brussels. there are just good morning here from brussels. there arejust six good morning here from brussels. there are just six months to go before the uk leaves the european union. we will be here at the heart of the brexit negotiating table, bringing you the view from the eu. it's team gold for great britain at the world equestrian games — and a flawless round from ros canter on allstar b gives her the individual title too. plenty of gongs for british actors at the emmy awards in los angeles — claire foy among the winners for her portrayal of the queen in the crown. while one award winner turned his acceptance speech into a proposal... will you marry me?

cheering in weather, we are cupping up some pretty mild conditions this morning with a bit of wet weather and some windy weather, too. i will have your full forecast later. it's tuesday 18th september. thank you forjoining us. our top story. a trade war between the world's two largest economies has stepped up — with the us imposing new tariffs on thousands of chinese products worth £150 billion. the higher import taxes will apply to almost 6,000 items, marking the biggest round of us tariffs so far. what does it mean for them and all of us? 0ur asia business correspondent karishma vaswani is at the world economic forum in tianjin in china. this matters globally, doesn't it? absolutely, because as this trade

war heats up between the united states and china, it will have repercussions on the rest of us. to give you a sense of what lots of people at this forum have said to me, they are really concerned about what this means for the global economy. we have already seen estimates that global growth, meaning growth in countries outside the us and china, what kind of impact the trade tensions will have going forward. we are just now at the point where around half of everything, imagine that, that china sells to the us, things like handbags, textiles, rice, all of the stuff that made china rich over the last four decades, is on this list that will see tariffs placed on chinese products come monday, september 24, a 10% tariff at that point and into 2019, eight 29% terror. —— 25% terror. president

trump has said that if china retaliates, everything china makes could be put under a terrific. troubling times for the tensions between the us and china and negotiations also look like they will not go particularly well given the current state of affairs, as a representative from china's academy of social sciences told me. if you want a negotiation face to face and we need to have coffee and, how would you say, a peaceful environment, i would say the us is not good for this kind of bilateral negotiation. i hope that the us will think again and sits down and talk with china, otherwise this kind of trade war will really become a two edged knife. a knife edge, meaning not just the

edged knife. a knife edge, meaning notjust the us and china risk losing economic growth, which is what all of the forecasts suggest, but also the rest of us, precisely because uncertainty is not good for anyone. businesses have a great deal of difficulty figuring out if they should build factories in the future or hire more people if these two giants continue to fight in the way they are. in the next hour or so we expect a statement from china's commerce ministry about whether it will retaliate, that will give us a clue as to how the trade war continues. karishma, thank you for the update. 0ur karishma, thank you for the update. our other stories this morning... social media sites and the internet have caused harm to one in five people in the uk, according to the head of the broadcast watchdog 0fcom. sharon white wants online firms to be subject to proper state regulation, to end what she calls the "standards lottery". jane—frances kelly reports. protesters showing their anger towards facebook earlier this year. one of its executives faced questions from mps, following revelations about the harvesting of users' data.

what is the rough square footage of your home? i don't know that off the top of my head either. 0k. facebook gathers that information about you as facebook user, as it does its other users, too. later this morning, the broadcast watchdog 0fcom will reveal research showing that one in five people in the uk has experienced harmful content on social media sites. conduct ranging from bullying and harassment, to fraud and violence. its head, sharon white, will call for an independent regulator to oversee the tech giants. despite facebook and youtube hiring thousands of extra moderators this year to police content, she will say in her speech that trust in such companies is weakening. there remains a disparity between rules for traditional broadcasters, such as the bbc and itv, and unregulated platforms such as facebook, twitter and youtube, creating what sharon white calls a "standard's lottery".

—— standards lottery. in germany, social media companies face fines of up to 50 million euros if they do not act on reports of hate speech and illegal content within 24 hours of it being reported, although critics say it is draconian. ms white is to outline a potential blueprint for regulations which she hopes will protect free speech and innovation, while providing safeguards. jane—frances kelly, bbc news. the south korean president — moonjae—in — has arrived in pyongyang for historic talks with the north korean leader. he was met at the airport by kimjong—un — as well as large crowds who were waving flags. he's there for three days to try and revive stalled denuclearisation talks between north korea and the united states. the lib dem leader sir vince cable will call on theresa may to "shock us all" by holding a referendum on the brexit deal she strikes with brussels.

he'll tell his party conference that he's "starting to feel sorry" for mrs may as she tries to deliver a policy which — he claims — she doesn't believe in. earlier he told us it was right to allow the public to vote again on previous democratic decisions. the world has moved on, it is a very, very different place. we have elections, when we have an election we do not vote governments in permanently, we give an opportunity to people to change their mind in the light of changing circumstances. it seems entirely right undemocratic that when we have a clearer picture about what brexit actually means, the people should have an opportunity to confirm their original decision, or not. a russian military surveillance plane carrying 14 people has disappeared over the mediterranean. russian media is reporting that the plane vanished during israeli air strikes against syria. an anonymous us official told news agencies that washington believed syrian government anti—aircraft artillery accidentally downed the plane. it was a glorious night for british

so mushy! imagine if she hadn't said yes! she would have to say yes! there's maybe that is why he chose that moment! thank you for watching some breakfast. cricket is considered by many to be one of the more traditional sports. but one club is taking on a taboo subject which affects many of its fans — male incontinence. durham county cricket club is installing sanitary bins in its male toilets so that men with bladder weakness can dispose of pads. let's get an idea of the scale of the problem. 14 million people in the uk have some form of bladder weakness and around four million of them are men. that's around one in nine men in the uk. and yet it is something we do not

often talk about. 0ne specialist retailer reports that male incontinence products rose by 16% last year. let's talk to two people now who understand this issue better than most. emma foster is a consultant urologist, and mike ridley—smith suffers incontinence as a result of prostate surgery five years ago. good morning to both of you. thank you so much for coming in. mike, before you went through the prostate cancer, did you realise this was such an important and big issue? no. i was made aware that there was every chance i would have some form of incontinence but i had no idea that actually it would be as bad as i experience. i have to say i was in the 2% of people where it all went wrong, through no fault of the hospital. how does it affect you every day? gulp it was really difficult to start with, then i managed to get some of my own

continents back. unfortunately the radiotherapy started to really kick in after two years and i became com pletely in after two years and i became completely unary incontinent. i am happy to say in the last few weeks i have had a further operation and things have improved immensely, but it was very embarrassing when i had to go to places like durham cricket club. i think this initiative from tena with durham cricket club was amazing. i would tena with durham cricket club was amazing. iwould have tena with durham cricket club was amazing. i would have to go to the toilet and there was nowhere to put my used parts, often i would come out of the room, look around for a bin and there would be nowhere. —— nowhere to put my used pads. i would have to carry soiled pads around and it was very embarrassing. thank you for coming to talk to us, we would be shocked at how many people are affected. how common is make's story? a bloke nhs uk asda made around one in nine men have problems with incontinence, as we get older

it becomes more common, around one infour it becomes more common, around one in four over it becomes more common, around one infourover70. it becomes more common, around one in four over 70. which can be quite widespread. as mike points out, the lack of facilities make it trickier. hywel rare is it? what durham are doing, how rare is it? incredibly rare, but fantastic. the gentleman who come to see us would really appreciate other institutions following. putting wins in toilets is so simple and hardly costs anything, yet it will make a massive difference. —— putting bins in to i lets. difference. —— putting bins in toilets. lots of women in the toilets. lots of women in the toilets said they did not realise they did not have bins in blokes' to i lets. they did not have bins in blokes' toilets. what difference does it make? tremendous, it would encourage me to go to places like durham cricket club where they have this facility. i have been put off going

to lots of places because i was using up to 15 pads a day, i would have to see if it was safe to go, where can i put my pads, etc. the initiative is amazing. the combined effo rts initiative is amazing. the combined efforts of them and tena uk has been fantastic. emma, what about viewers who might think this is a problem i suffer with and perhaps they have not dealt with it and do not know what to do? talk to somebody come up whether thatis talk to somebody come up whether that is your partner, your gp. don't feel like it is a taboo subject because it is not, it is incredibly common and a lot can be done about it. there are two kinds of incontinence in men. 0ne it. there are two kinds of incontinence in men. one is related normally to previous surgery or treatment for prostate cancer and thatis treatment for prostate cancer and that is like stress incontinence in women. the other is to do with an overactive bladder whether buddha squeezes in at inappropriate

moments. the majority of men who do not have a history of prostate cancer probably have the overactive bladder side of things and there is a lot we can do that is not that invasive that can make a huge quality —— huge difference to that quality —— huge difference to that quality of life. public law physiotherapy, lifestyle measures. 0n the important things is people can modify their fluid intake. 0n the important things is people can modify theirfluid intake. a 0n the important things is people can modify their fluid intake. a lot of people don't realise caffeine is a huge stimulant to the bladder and causes terrible irritation. if they cut out caffeine, that often makes incontinence a lot better. and there is medication. and more invasive things, surgery and things like that. mike, what would you say to other people and we are talking about durham cricket club today, sports clubs, pubs, any businesses that rely on people coming through the door, what would you say to them? i would encourage people to use their facilities and i think it is very important this awareness

increases. i would like to go to the theatre, for instance. i have had to say no to various things. at our local theatre. i thought, say no to various things. at our localtheatre. ithought, no, say no to various things. at our local theatre. ithought, no, they don't have the right facilities. it stops you going to places? don't have the right facilities. it stops you going to places7m don't have the right facilities. it stops you going to places? it has indeed. we're already getting loads of m essa g es indeed. we're already getting loads of messages saying thank you so much talking about it and fair play to make for bringing this up. a lot of people saying, i'm not ashamed to say i suffer from it as well. that is such a crucial thing, having mike here, that is a big part of what will help this i agree. it is kind of very common in all aspects of male health that men don't talk about things as much as women and thatis about things as much as women and that is one of the reasons we are here today, to say don't be afraid to talk about things. especially talk to those close to you or your gp, you will never find out what we can do to help and you don't have to be that way. well done, mike, thank

you for coming and all the best. good luck. and enjoy the cricket when you watch at! i will indeed! thank you. it is 8:18 a:m.. that is tricky. not really! here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. good morning to you two. a moody weather start. this is whitley bay short while ago. in england and wales, strong winds this morning down to what was hurricane, an ex—hurricane, hurricane hell ain't. not causing too much disruption but the strongest winds these other temperatures are short while ago. the high teens in a number of areas. with that comes the threat of rain. rain and drizzle across england and wales. heavy rain in north east

england and central scotland. moving through quite quickly. the winds are very light across scotland and misty in spots. the breeze is picking up. it clears off the rain, sunny spells develop into the afternoon. showers in the less later on but not a bad afternoon compared to the grey skies most of you experienced this morning. temperatures down a degree or so morning. temperatures down a degree orso and morning. temperatures down a degree or so and yesterday but close to 20 degrees in parts of scotland. 23—25 in east anglia and the south east. south—westerly wind bringing in the warm conditions. strongest across the north. the breezes northern ireland and scotland picks up this afternoon and across the uk, a blustery night. showers moving from west to east across most areas with clear skies, showers most frequent across northern and western scotland. the wind coming from the south—west so we still have the warm airfeeding in an south—west so we still have the warm air feeding in an temperatures south—west so we still have the warm airfeeding in an temperatures in double figures even if it is not quite as warm as it was last night. as we go into a one—stop to

wednesday, it is going to be windy and even windier than today. the area of low pressure towards the north targeting the strongest winds covered by a yellow weather warning across scotland, northern ireland and northern england. damaging gusts through the central belt of scotland and travel disruption as winds peaked at over 70 mph through the middle part of the morning. with it, heavy rain. not a great middle part of the week. england and wales, a few showers and a few sunny spells. winds touching gale force, 40, 50 mph in some spots. using a touch in the afternoon, but it does remain rather blustery. cold tomorrow across the northern half of the country. temperatures into the 20s quite widely for england and wales. the winds eased down a touch through to thursday and friday. wet weather around on thursday. the northern half of the country in particular. friday, a lot more sunshine to enjoy. 13 to 18 degrees by friday,

temperatures back to where they should be. thanks. wendy is what i got from that. windy! we are trying to make sense of brexit and where we are and where we are going. so many elements to it and that is what we are trying to get through given that six months to go until the leaves the eu. we are trying to end the confusion. we can go back to naga now, who is in brussels this morning, i know you are enjoying the weather and interesting to hear what this is all going to mean. indeed, it is windy here as well. but it is warm. that is quite a rare thing, iam but it is warm. that is quite a rare thing, i am told, for there to be no rain. confusing phrases, the jargon. if we are honest, can we make the difference between hard brexit and

soft brexit and chequers and no deal, what are the implications? breakfast's jayne mccubbin has been chatting to people in chester to see if people have a grasp on the job in at the moment. —— the jargon. i'm after a dictionary definition of these phrases. ten—second definition of what each of those means, starting now. no deal, they can't agree on anything. i don't want a no deal. what does this mean? well, no deal means that we're back to normal, the same as they've been doing for the last 30—odd years, that i objected to. you think that's what no deal means? well, is it? that we remain in the european union. if there's no deal? yeah. hard brexit. we should have our own laws... making our own rules. governing ourselves. soft brexit? no. hard brexit? no. it's complicated. a bit too complicated for me. chequers deal.

it's a weak fudge. erm, chequers deal, i have no clue. no, not... well, they all didn't agree on that one, did they? but what is it? i know what the exchequer means, it's the person who handles the money, so i'm guessing it's something about money. no, not quite, not quite. i think there may be some concessions on trade. well, it's only a soft one. what does soft brexit mean? 0h, don't ask me. when you take things easy, i would say. it's all a mystery to me! don't put any... i don't want... i don't want any of this. i just realised, i don't know enough. nobody does! so some people knew what the terms

meant and some people did not, that isafair meant and some people did not, that is a fair reflection. adam summing all your correspondence is here, are you up for all your correspondence is here, are you upfora all your correspondence is here, are you up for a challenge? always. the one—minute challenge, four phrases to explain in one minute. there is a clock on the screen. go! hard brexit. that is crashing out with no deal. to brexit supporters, it is a bare—bones deal where we have not very close relationship with the eu. soft brexit. the opposite where people say we should have really close relationship with the eu or so people don't talk about soft brexit any more. the chequers deal. the plan theresa may put her cabinet and got agreed in a big country house chequers which is the uk proposal for the future relationship on the economy, security and other things and it is a proposal and not a finished product. not what everyone wa nts. finished product. not what everyone wants. not what everyone wants. no deal. leaving without a brexit treaty which means no money, no citizens' rights sorted and no deal on ireland and some people say it

would be chaos and some people would say it would maybe be ok.” would be chaos and some people would say it would maybe be ok. i think you have done it in a minute, well done. and we should tell you how we did it. it is the most technical process. this is done. all those yea rs of process. this is done. all those years of training and this is where you end up! my you end up! my highlight! highlight, he did a very good job. adam, you have a rather boring book with you but very important, the withdrawal agreement. about 80% of this has been agreed that the 20% left is the really big stuff that everyone is sweating over. yes, this is my life, this folder, i carry around everywhere. the brexit treaty, the withdrawal agreement, the green stuff is stuff they have agreed and it is pretty green. the big outstanding things, how do you solve disputes between the two sides in this treaty of the northern ireland border still not solved, still not a lot of progress. and this is going to sound weird

this is still outstanding, cornish pasties and parma ham. the eu has a system for saying parma ham can only be ham that comes from matt cowdrey and they want that in the brexit treaty and the uk has not said yes. i told you there with a big things to sweat over! a quick look, you can give us behind the scenes from the eu, what is happening? there is a big drive to help theresa may. she is not the enemy as far as the eu sees it. over the next couple of weeks at salzburg, eu leaders giving interviews, they will help theresa may especially when it comes to the tory party conference in birmingham ina tory party conference in birmingham in a couple of weeks because they wa nt in a couple of weeks because they want her to stay in place, they trust, they think she will deliver the compromises they have agreed already and they're worried about another prime minister ripping all this up and making their life very hard. thanks very much. theresa may preparing for a meeting in salzburg this week, the 20th official meeting with eu leaders. time to get the news and travel and weather where
