i don't want to call you my girlfriend because i want to call you my wife. will you marry me? good morning. it's tuesday the 18th of september... i'm joanna gosling. welcome to bbc newsroom live. a major report on immigration has said there should be no preference for migrants from the eu over those from outside the union. the migration advisory committee also calls on the government to make it easier for high—skilled workers to come to the uk after brexit. it comes as latest figures showed that net migration from the eu was at its lowest level since 2012 — with the number of eu citizens coming to look for work down by a third. let's get more details

with our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw. tell us more about the detail in this report. well, this is a major report that will inform the government strategy for immigration after brexit and particularly from 2021 after the transition period. and i suppose the key finding from this report that is there should be a worldwide immigration system for britain. they should not be a distinction between migrants from the european union and people coming from outside europe. and that is very different from what we have at the moment with european union citizens have freedom movement across european union states. but the report says that we should encourage people with high skills such as doctors and engineers to come to britain and also we should have more people with medium skills for example plumbers and electricians coming to the uk. there

should be fewer restrictions on those workers, however, there should not be a specific scheme for people who are classed as low skilled. people doing cleaning jobs orjobs in hospitality and so on. that is one of the controversial proposals because certainly there will be businesses and people, employers working in that sector that will be worried that the flow of low skilled workers could dry up after brexit. thank you very much. let's get some political reaction now. we can go to westminster. how is this likely to go down in the political world? there will be many who agree that there should not be preferential access for eu and this report has the potential to be a headache for tourism me because it cramps higher room for manoeuvre in the

negotiations because it is quite possible that the european union as pa rt possible that the european union as part of agreeing a final brexit deal may look for a compromise for freedom of movement, preferential access for a european union citizens. harder for tourism access for a european union citizens. harderfor tourism me to give that ground now that the migration advisory committee has specifically come out after being commissioned by the government and said no, that is not what you should do albeit when you listen to the home secretary and suddenly the prime minister speaking last night it would appear that on the face of it would appear that on the face of it she is sympathetic to the idea of not having any preferential access. have a listen to her on the panorama programme last night. the message from the british people was very simple. the date that want a situation where people from the european union having automatic rights and terms of coming here to the united kingdom and a set of rules for people from outside the european union. what we will be doing is putting forward a

set of rules for people from the european union and from people outside the european union. they may face a buffeting if they go along with the proposals is the halt to low skilled migration which of course i suspect we'll see a backlash from the social care sector, from hospitality and catering, the construction industry who have relied so heavily on european union low skilled migration andi european union low skilled migration and i imagine there will be huge pressure on government not to go along with that particular recommendation. as it is, do not expect an instant response from the government. we should not expect anything until after the party conference. indeed, they have been suggestions that may be the party conference might be the moment when theresa may begins to sketch out the sort of immigration policy that she would pursue post—brexit. sort of immigration policy that she would pursue post-brexit. the government's policy is still as far asi government's policy is still as far

as i understand to reduce net migration to the tens of thousands. does that remain a policy? what is the latest thinking on that? well, it remains theresa is policy but when you talk to every other cabinet minister, they think it is pretty close to ludicrous. when you look at this report, it does to take more dents out of the whole strategy of driving down immigration to that level. because the report suggests among other things that migration is not a huge issue. it does not have major negatives. they does not have major negatives. they does not have major positive either. it also suggests that european union migrants have not had much impact in terms of school places or on the national health service. in fact they contribute more than they take out of it. european union migration has not had a huge impact on wages oran has not had a huge impact on wages or an employment. it suggests that

the resonance which the issue had during the brexit referendum has dissipated because european union migration is beginning to fall pretty rapidly. so the whole pressure to curb migration would appear to be receding and perhaps less necessary suddenly according to the migration advisory committee report. there is less than six months to go now. there's less than six months to go now until the uk is due to leave the eu, and all week on the bbc news channel we're gauging the views of people up and down the country — and in europe —ahead of this pivotal moment. we can go live now to brussels, where that final brexit deal — if there is one — is being hashed out day after day in a series of increasingly tense negotiations. 0ur europe correspondent gavin lee is there. how do you think the advisory committee suggestion that there should be no preferential migration

to the uk from the european union is going to go down that? bear in mind we are 2a hours away from the centre of the talks shifting from brussels. 0fficials of the talks shifting from brussels. officials will be disappearing including michel barnier to salzburg. the health will be a life or at the sound of brexit for the next two days. brexit is on the agenda for the summit. this report will be briefed, there will be background talks with other leaders because if the uk recommendation is that there will be a no preference system for european union workers, michel barnier will want to know about it. this will form a sense of the longer—term picture. at the moment, the priorities are getting through the divorce, the exit bill which is 80% through at the moment. a brief reaction we can get from the european perspective in brussels. i am talking to a swedish member of

the european parliament and she has been supporting us. when you hear the news, that britain should have a no preference system for european union migrants and workers, what is your initial thought? bye i have not seen the report but i would see from the european parliament side we want citizens‘ rights for our citizens who are living in britain to be insured and if we got a little bit further, the main issue for britain and the european union as workers‘ rights. the entry point... the problem forfreedom rights. the entry point... the problem for freedom freedom of movement of workers in the european union, people have been coming and we have seen social dumping and they have not done anything to avoid that. that is the key issue for us. by that. that is the key issue for us. by social dumping if britain has a system like canada where there is no

preference, choosing highly skilled workers, those who can offer most of the country, picking and choosing would be about who is the cheapest worker? there have to be rules in place where there are guarantees and it does not matter where you come from, you should have a good working life and good working conditions that are decent. you should not have a system where you pinpoint people against each other. that leads to fire rate movements and nationalism and racism in the worst case. i think it is a very important issue and it does not matter what system you choose, you have to make sure you choose, you have to make sure you have decent working conditions. you are a sceptic european parliament member, as you watch what is going on and the chequers land, and those who agree with that seeing it as and those who agree with that seeing itasa and those who agree with that seeing it as a compromise but it is a common—sense approach following comment rules on trade and goods, others have walked away from it like borisjohnson, we others have walked away from it like boris johnson, we have others have walked away from it like

borisjohnson, we have given up too much. where do you stand on this? how is managing brexit?‘ much. where do you stand on this? how is managing brexit? a lot of it is about internal conflicts when you see it from a distance. we want a good dealfor the see it from a distance. we want a good deal for the withdrawal, see it from a distance. we want a good dealfor the withdrawal, a good dealfor the future, we good dealfor the withdrawal, a good deal for the future, we won the issues of citizenship but also in northern ireland to be solved. they are important issues that have to be solved. there is no reason why we should not have a good relationship with britain and with the uk, and we have norway and iceland who are outside. the question is, when they throw at us what you are towards the european union, yes, iam. we are engaged with the broad left, in lots of countries, the european union has to change but not the way the nationalists and races see it has to change. the european union has to put people and the planet report profit and the internal market. i

wa nt profit and the internal market. i want you to listen to that. now is the moment for a change and we will go to elections to demand that change. from your point of view, you area change. from your point of view, you are a photojournalist and a blogger, you have been capturing the tumours of the european union. 0fficials, their human side. when you talk of supporting brexit, officials who are sad about it, what is this feeling? is the bitterness towards britain and brexit? from the european prospective? there is a bit of bitterness. i am very pro—european and what i am feeling is that all of the british people who believed in this dream feel disadvantaged and they are afraid, now you just talked about that report what will be their status when they go back to england? what rights will they be entitled to

and so on? i think one of the main issues of this recommendation, a lot of it is people are affected by this fault that they do not agree with. they would probably want to be considered as european union counterparts. tell me about your project, the human side of officials. the project tells stories andi officials. the project tells stories and i take photographs of the people of every person related to the european project. you could be in this project because you are a correspondent. the point of the project is to inform about what the european union is and also to give a personal perspective on things that have happened such as brexit because i think if people had known what the european union is probably be would not have voted for brexit as the dead. it is important to give a human dimension. it is a beautiful

day here in brussels. michel barnier will be briefing officials tonight. tomorrow, when villagers go off to the summit it will be the first time since the chequers agreement that the leaders will give a response. we have heard today from lord carrington that britain has compromised and the eu has to compromise. we will start to get initial reactions from other leaders in the next couple of days. later this morning on bbc news... with 6 months to go until the uk leaves the eu how will brexit affect your wallet? will european holidays become more expensive? our personal finance correspondent simon gompertz and personal finance expert jasmine birtles will be here taking your questions very shortly ——at 1130. to get involved , you can text your questions to 611211, email to askthis at bbc dot co dot uk — or on twitter using the hashtag bbcaskthis. a trade war between the world‘s two largest economies has stepped up — with the us imposing new taxes on thousands of chinese products

worth £150 billion. the higher import tariffs will apply to almost 6000 items, marking the biggest round of us tariffs so far. shanranjit leyl has more. president trump is wasting no time increasing the pressure on beijing. these new tariffs come into effect next week in the 10% to be levied will rise to 25% next year. to allow american business a chance to adjust and looked the new chains. and even as these tariffs target hi—tech goods like networking equipment, it‘s left off some items. key among them, smart watches, seen as a concession to apple, if china were to retaliate, this statement comes with a dire warning.

the amount of things taxed will include everything that china exports to the usa. president trump says he is doing all this to stop the unfair trade relationship between the two. for its part, china has insisted it will retaliate but that it has little to fear. this number is not so big. don‘t forget that china has a big internal market. when something happens from outside, the chinese government can still relate domestic demand to make up still relate domestic demand to make upfor still relate domestic demand to make up for this kind of shock. china can come out of this crisis in a nicely. the upshot are warnings from economists and the business community. you‘ll it going to hurt us businesses that depend on chinese imports. it will hurt. a survey of

more than 60% of companies operating in china have seen their business is affected, showing that it is america that will ultimately pay the price. russia‘s defence ministry says it‘s holding israel responsible for the loss of a military surveillance plane over the mediterranean. the ilyushin—20 plane, which was carrying 1a people, vanished off the coast of syria last night. moscow says israel gave the russian military less than a minute‘s warning before launching air strikes on targets in syria. however there are unconfirmed reports washington believes syrian government anti—aircraft artillery accidentally downed the plane. a us supreme court nominee and a woman who has accused him of sexual assault will testify at a public hearing of the senate judiciary committee next monday. christine blasey ford says brett kava naugh assaulted her when they were both at high school more than thirty—five—years ago.

mr kavanaugh, a conservativejudge, denies the allegation. 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. 0ur seoul correspondent, laura bicker, is watching events unfold. the welcome that president moon received was one that was incredibly warm. as he stepped off the plane, hundreds of north koreans dressed in their best suits and best traditional korean hanboks waved and cheered. he was welcomed on a red carpet. there was a military parade. then he was taken through the city of pyeongchang on an open topped car alongside kim jong—un where he waved to crowds. while he was doing that, you could hear the chants from those crowds of north koreans. and what they were shouting was unification.

this is something that they are told to shout but it is also something that they are taught young age to wish for. presidentjong—un is definitely rolling out the red carpet and giving a warm welcome. why? because he needs moonjae—in to both further his hopes of developing korean ties and he also wants a peace treaty. he wants an end to the korean war. however, that differs from what the us wants. the us wants to see concrete steps towards denuclearisation from north korea. that is why the talks have stalled. president moonjae—in has three days to try to mediate and to try to make the difference. he is indeed the man in the middle and he will try to push both sides closer to one another and to a deal. the headlines on bbc news... the government is told eu migrants should be given no preference over those from the rest of the world , and the cap on skilled workers should be scrapped , by its migration advisory committee.

the trade war intensifies between the world‘s two largest economies. the us imposes new tariffs on chinese products worth £150 billion. russia admits its military plane was shot down by syrian forces — and blames israel for a ‘set up‘. the arsenal chief executive ivan gazidis is — as expected — leaving arsenal at the end of the month for the italian side ac milan. gazidis was instrumental in bringing unai emery in to replace arsene wenger as manager. ros canter delivered a flawless round on allstar b to give the great britain team gold at the world equestrian games in north carolina — and take the individual title too. she described it as a surreal day. johanna konta enjoyed a quick and straightforward win at the pan pacific open in tokyo. she only dropped two games against the canadian qualifier gabriela dabrowski to reach the second round. i‘ll be back with more on those stories later.

europe‘s biggest port says companies aren‘t doing enough to prepare for a ‘no deal‘ brexit. rotterdam, in the netherlands, is planning to employ more than 900 customs staff to deal with the extra checks that will be required if the uk leaves the eu without reaching an agreement on its future relationship with the single market. anna holligan joined customs officials on board a ship in the port of rotterdam. the netherlands is a country most affected by a no—deal brexit. it is an issue of proximity. the uk is just the a few hundred kilometres away. the netherlands is the main continental trade partner of the uk and rotterdam is doing the most of

theirs. the company trading through theirs. the company trading through the port of rotterdam are preparing for brexit. this media foliage was arranged to show how a no deal would affect the free flow of goods. there isa affect the free flow of goods. there is a horrible image of tulips backed up is a horrible image of tulips backed up in trucks wilting at the border. do you think those nightmares are going to come true? it will take time to do this. yes, it will have an enormous impact on the trade of fresh goods. the dutch have a more tall you will hear in most trade related conversations regarding brexit. it means of hope for the best and prepare for the worst and thatis best and prepare for the worst and that is exactly what we are witnessing here. our biggest fear is not to be prepared. we are working

on being prepared for that but that trade not only in the netherlands but in the whole of the european union and the uk are not up to that. trade with the uk is valuable, the economic and political functioning of the european parliament is even more criticalfor a of the european parliament is even more critical for a dutch government acutely aware that any cherries offer to its british allies would undoubtedly sweeten the appeal of its eurosceptic rivals back home. anna holligan reporting there, from the port of rotterdam. the headteacher — made famous in the channel 4 series educating greater manchester — has resigned from his role as executive head at harrop fold high in salford. drew povey was suspended in the summer term along with 3 other members of staff, pending an investigation over the incorrect recording of attendance, exclusions and home schooling. mr povey acknowledged there had been administrative errors , but in a tweet, said he could "no longer sit quietly under the threat

of "you cannot comment or you will breach your code of conduct". 0ur correspondent, marc ashdown, is following this story that serious educating greater manchester was hugely popular. two people watched it fault. it followed their... much of the popularity was going to the headteacher. since then he has become a champion for disadvantaged pupils. it was a huge surprise when he was suspended with three other members of staff. salford council was investigating issues of how you record attendance data. it is a big issue. 0fsted recently said that schools could be massaging these figures. he

maintains they were minor errors and it was hugely out of proportion. this investigation carried on for nine months and he has come out fighting thing enough is enough. he resigned on social media and believe there has been a personal vendetta and that he has been unfairly treated and that tight he was offered a pay off. he feels he has to make the stand. says he was suspended he has been contacted by people who have had similar treatment. has there been a reaction from the council? no, they have not responded about his resignation but previously they said that they wa nted previously they said that they wanted to ensure that pupils got the best treatment possible. the investigation is detailed and complex and has to be done fully and fairly. we have talked to the head teacher unions and the see this sort of thing is a big issue. it goes on behind closed doors. lots of head

teachers are being managed out quietly, signing deal to go quietly, careers are being ruined and people are being bullied and marginalised. they take a call from desperate heads and desperate situations once a week. and it could affect recruiting. the headteacher wants to stay involved with the community on a voluntary basis but he says that his position is untenable. 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. he will also call brexit the "erotic spasm" of fundamentalists who don‘t care about the potential economic damage. 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

has been made managing director... the liverpool managerjurgen klopp says that the brazilian star neymar is no cheat. liverpool take on his side paris st—germain at anfield tonight, as the champions league group stage gets under way... neymar is often accused of going down under the slightest challenge, looking for a foul... but klopp says he doesn‘t blame him. in action. players are really going for him. that is the truth. he wants to protect himself and i understand that also. if an opponent gets a yellow card, then it is much close toa yellow card, then it is much close to a red card, i see it from that perspective. so i see it‘s smart that he saved himself. tottenham kick off against inter milan at the san siro just before six o‘clock our time. spurs enjoyed a good spell in europe last year eventually winning their group so they have experiece although the manager — using an unusual cow analogy — believes hunger and passion might

count for more than experience... if you are not clever, this is only experience, it is not going to help you in the future. it is like a cow that always every single day during ten yea rs that always every single day during ten years see the train cross in front of the same time. and if you ask the cow at what time is going to come the train, it is not going to have the right answer. in football it is the same. experience, yes, but hunger, motivation, circumstance, everything is so important. formula 0ne‘s new owners have secured a deal to sell sponsorship to betting companies — something the old f1 boss bernie ecclestone always refused to allow. he thought it would tarnish the sport‘s glamourous image. liberty media have reached an agreement thought to be worth 100—million dollars with a london—based marketing agency, who‘ll set up the deals, allowing sponsors to advertise

on electronic boards at race tracks and display graphics on screen. the news comes at a time when sport is increasingly looking at its relationship with the gambling industry. ros canter — great britain‘s new world equestrian champion — said it was a surreal day in north carolina when she and her team both won gold at the world championships. gb who beat ireland and france led in the team event overnight but after a couple of mistakes they were only just 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. gb and ireland have qualified for the 2020 0lympics as a result. i can‘t believe it. quite emotional and i‘m just so proud of him, he is phenomenal. double gold, how does

that sound ? amazing, phenomenal. double gold, how does that sound? amazing, i‘m so proud of everybody. johanna konta enjoyed a quick and straightforward win at the pan pacific open in tokyo, dropping only two games against the canadian qualifier gabriela dabrowski to reach the second round. dabrowski is ranked at over 500 in the world to konta‘s a3, and the match was over in little more than an hour. that‘s all the sport for now. i‘ll have more for you in the next hour. well, this week the bbc is marking six months to go, until the uk is due to leave the european union. let‘s get the view from scotland now and it was one of the most pro—remain parts of the uk — voting against brexit by 62% to 38. 0ur correspondent catriona renton is in glasgow‘s prince‘s square. catriona. you joining us here right in the heart of glasgow. this is part of the busiest shopping area in the whole of the city. you can see there

isa whole of the city. you can see there is a bit ofa whole of the city. you can see there is a bit of a continental culture here also. glass voted 66% to remain in the eu, that is higher than the nationalfigure of 62%. in the eu, that is higher than the national figure of 62%. but with six months to go, our people any clearer about what brexiteer means for them? absolute gobbledygook, i do not understand one word. do we still get a deal? a week in, are we out? clueless. i think the government are pulling the wool over everybody's eyesin pulling the wool over everybody's eyes in relation to what is going on behind closed doors. why do think that? because people cannot be honest. and ijust think that the uk and the scottish government, that everybody needs to come together and just start telling the truth. joining me now to try and unpick

some of this is maeve brown, former spokesperson for business for britain in scotland. and in edinburgh, we arejoined by the former leader of the scottish labour party. we are hearing this busy shopping area. 62% of scots voted to remain, but you think really need is the better option? it is the best option. we want to mention that during and since the referendum, i have conducted a lot of private polling and it all shows that scotland is in line broadly with the re st of scotland is in line broadly with the rest of the uk. i think the issue on the day was the scottish robbers entered it was like i think a lot of vote rs entered it was like i think a lot of voters stayed at home, with a lot of soft brexiteers... i think that is the result of scotland, rather than a fundamental difference of view

between scotland and the rest of the uk. when i was out on the streets earlier, asking people whether they knew what brexit was going to mean for them, there was still an awful lot of confusion. what would you say to convince people that are confused about why you believe this would be about why you believe this would be a good thing for scotland to be out of the eu? there are so many answers to that question. i have been commentating on politics for about 15 years, one of the things i have come to realise is the best politicians never lie. they just never tell the truth. the question you have to ask is what are they hiding? think one of the biggest indicators of brexit is youth unemployment. in 2008, we had the financial crisis, a lot of employers stopped recruiting. the people that pay the highest price where university graduate and school leavers. ten years after the recession, the european union

average recession, the european union ave rage you recession, the european union average you can unemployment rate is 1596, average you can unemployment rate is 15%, france 20%, italy 30%, spain is 33% and greece is a3%. in the uk it is 496. 33% and greece is a3%. in the uk it is a%. so what those figures tell me is a%. so what those figures tell me is that britain has made with structural form of the economy to continue creating jobs, continue to have profitable businesses. in europe, they haven't made the policy of changes, improvements in infrastructure. they haven't changed anything. they are still waiting... as brown told us, we are on the corner. my concern is european union's economy is basically a house of cards. a small financial impact could bring the whole thing down. i think the british economy is much more robust and will deal with the next recession must battle —— much better. one of my concerns is it allows a lot of politicians to

pursue easy quick fixes, easy solutions. 0ne pursue easy quick fixes, easy solutions. one of the things people talk about is the shortage of teachers and nurses. there isn't a shortage of teachers and nurses, there is a shortage of teachers working as teachers and nurses working as teachers and nurses working at nasa 's. can i bring in ki rsty working at nasa 's. can i bring in kirsty dugdale, former leader of the scottish labour party. you had what may have had to say. what is your reaction? you were remain a? i was a very strong remain. i represent the capital city of scotland, edinburgh, where we have our economy heavily depended on eu nationals. we have a situation where 40,000 eu nationals living in the city do not know what their future holds for them. they also run our public services and an we would be in a desperately sorry situation without them, whether that is consulted in hospitals, academics and universities, care workers looking after our most vulnerable. i was sent to fight for the brides of

working people and i am convinced, according to all the evidence i have seen, that brexodus going to be bad forjobs, seen, that brexodus going to be bad for jobs, employment rights seen, that brexodus going to be bad forjobs, employment rights and for the rights of working people, the cost of living, the prizes in our shops. i think i had a duty to be very honest and clear about that and say there is no good brexit. this is going to have devastating consequences for the uk economy. for scotland's economy and as a consequence the poorest people will suffer the most as a result of that, it has to be stopped. the second independence referendum is still very much on the table. depending on the outcome of the brexodus. this is the outcome of the brexodus. this is the fourth anniversary of the independence referendum in scotland, would you say to that?|j independence referendum in scotland, would you say to that? i think it is important to recognise over the weekend we discovered that the snp's all figures were out by £13 billion foot of silly idea that independence is some sort of escape route for the problems we face caused by brexit

doesn't stand much scrutiny. i want to stay in the european union and the united kingdom, because i think thatis the united kingdom, because i think that is the best deal for working people. the reality is that scotland voted to remain within the european union and there is a big onus on scotland to keep fighting for our place in the european union foot up if we cannot do that at the very least we have to make the case for remaining part of the single market, because that is how we ensure we still have free movement of people that allows this academics to stay in our universities, this care workers to do the criticaljobs they are doing. if i can give you one figure. i understand the bbc themselves... demonstrating this earlier today. if you look at the western isles, a remote part of scotland, there are 12 nhs consultants working in the western islesjust now consultants working in the western isles just now offers top eight of them are eu nationals. imagine what would happen to be services in that community is those eu doctors were not allowed to stay. this is fundamental and incredibly serious threat to our public services. i think anyone with an interest for standing up for working people have

a duty to speak out. i think we are all going to have to agree to disagree, this is a debate that is going to keep going on and running and running with more questions still being asked and derry than a nswe rs. still being asked and derry than answers. thank you. we have more questions right now. we have been asking for your questions on what would happen in a post brexit britain in financial times will stop so now, it‘s time to take a look at how the uk‘s departure will affect your wallet — in ‘ask this‘. we‘ve been asking you to send in your questions to our our personal finance correspondent simon gompertz and personal finance expertjasmine birtles, who bothjoin me now. alan seller — email: "i have lived in france with my wife and son "for the past 11 years. "i am a uk tax payer. "we are in the french health system, but we‘ve heard british ex—pats "are receiving letters from the french equivalent

"of the nhs, to say health care in france will cease for them "after the 29th march next year." what you make of that? i'm not surprised they are worried about this. they have been hearing the stories. they depend on your health care. in france there are two planks of it, if are a resident and you can apply for residency after five yea rs. apply for residency after five years. so i imagine they can do that if you haven‘t already. but also if you are making contributions. there isa you are making contributions. there is a contribution system a bit like national insurance in order to qualify to be in the french system if you use that. so in their case, i am hoping they are all right as long as they can do those things. perhaps there is a bit of a wrinkle. i think there is a bit of a wrinkle. i think there is a bit of a wrinkle. i think there is more of a worry for uk expatriates living in france who are pensioners, for instance, they are not working and making those contributions, because they have

depended on his reciprocal sips system between eu countries and the uk is stillan system between eu countries and the uk is still an eu country, in order to get their health care. so they perhaps haven‘t been paying those contributions and so it is concern for them. about what is going to happen if there is a new deal brexit. if there is a withdrawal agreement and we have another 21 months. that is something they will need to think about. could we discuss the ehic card too here? at the moment it looks as if we come out with a new deal, it will no longer cover us. and it is what cove rs longer cover us. and it is what covers travellers, rather than people who are expat residents in the eu countries. it is what you carry a few have a holiday in france and you have an accident and you are going to be asked for your card for treatment. there can be trouble is if you don‘t have it. you may have

those problems in the future if you don‘t have sufficient health insurance. ehic is never covered everything full stop insurers always they have health or travel insurance also. and travel insurance is nice and cheap, compared to what you could get. but it does cover quite a lot. certainly as you say in france and spain, not so much, greece not so and spain, not so much, greece not so much, but generally it is a very helpful thing to have. anonymous text: "how will brexit affect travelling the the eu ? "i usually book flights car rental and accommodation but i am worried "if we end up with no deal we could lose our money "if flights are grounded. "also are we going to need visas and how do we stand on car hire?" i think we are looking at a nightmare situation, if there hasn‘t been a last—minute deal cobble together to make sure flights continue after march 200019. i hope that doesn‘t emerge. i looked at

easyj et‘s that doesn‘t emerge. i looked at easyjet‘s website today and they we re easyjet‘s website today and they were not selling flights beyond next march and people will get that and think, "0h, march and people will get that and think, "oh, my goodness. chris quit are they worried themselves?" in two days themselves they will be on another three months worth of flights to stretching into the post brexit period. and they clearly don‘t have concerned at the moment that they would be able to fly. as for visas, it is possible. again, that they would be able to fly. as forvisas, it is possible. again, it depends what is agreed, but currently, you need visas to go to various places outside the eu. it is quite possible that we will need them after brexit. all from plymouth has texted: will be still be able to purchase products duty—free from other countries? no. that is the point, really. the whole point of the eu is that you don't have duty. we canjust the eu is that you don't have duty. we can just do what we the eu is that you don't have duty. we canjust do what we like. we operate as a single entity. but this basically is what much of the

arguments are about. we are saying, "we are going to be paying duty, and we are going to be imposing duty on them." that we are going to be imposing duty on them. " that is we are going to be imposing duty on them." that is one of the sad things. what some people have been pushing as a sort of advantage is that you will be able to get the same duty—free privileges if you‘re flying from holiday in the eu when uk is out and have your allowance of new duty on four litres of wine or 200 cigarettes that you get if you come from a non—eu country at the moment. but you won‘t have the situation where basically everything is treated as tax that is being paid seeking to france and bring back as much wine you like, as long as it‘s for personal consumption. dennis has texted: my family has just renewed passports or we have two renew again and apply after leaving the eu? no,

your passport remains valid, so once your passport remains valid, so once your passport remains valid, so once your passport comes to the expiry, your passport comes to the expiry, you will need to apply for a new one and the government from the date of brexit is bringing in uk style passports. so that will apply. but there will be a change after a withdrawal period or if there is a cliff edge brexit where you will have to think about how much time is left on your passport. at the moment you can travel to eu countries, as far as you can travel to eu countries, as farasi you can travel to eu countries, as far as i understand, with no very little time left, if you‘re taking a family any sort of a month left you can still get in, but that is going to change, because countries say you cannot get in if you don‘t have more than six months. and we'll roaming charges return when we leave the eu? it is looking unlikely. it does depend. as simon said, if we get out with absolutely no deal, then

everything goes. if we have the deal, then we have got a buffer period anyway until december. but some of the companies have already said, we don't have a plan to bring back roaming. there is nothing to say they might then change their minds. but sadly i have heard, i think vodafone and 02 have said, no, it is going to be the same. i would suspect that that will continue. it just won't be good business for them to add an extra charges. and one last one. i think also from hannah. what will happen to food items we normally import from europe? are some foods likely to become unavailable,? going back to the 70s. yes. the worry is that there will be no—deal brexit and nothing else will be agreed for transit between the continent and head and then the concern is mostly for perishable food. if there were delays at the

border, you wouldn‘t be able to get all of that fresh produce, especially from spain and the uk... the nightmare scenario if nothing else is agreed, it is deftly a concern, because the supermarkets themselves up and saying they are very worried about it. and the farmers. it is the other way also. i've heard from farmers, they are very worried about the land business, because france is a big buyer of our land. business, because france is a big buyerof ourland. again business, because france is a big buyer of our land. again it is fresh produce. how'd you physically get there on time? nobody is going to have me that has gone off a bit? thank you. in a moment we‘ll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news... the government is told eu migrants should be given no preference over those from the rest of the world and the cap on skilled workers should be scrapped by its migration advisory committee. the trade war intensifies between the world‘s two largest economies. the us imposes new taxes on chinese products worth 150 billion pounds. russia admits its military plane was shot

down by syrian forces — and blames israel for a ‘set up‘. in the business news: as we‘ve been hearing — workers should not be given preferential treatment for getting a uk visa after brexit — compared to workers from elsewhere. that‘s the recommendation of a new report from the migration advisory committee — which also recommends making it easier for higher—skilled workers to come here. it‘s called on the government to scrap a limit on high—skilled workers altogether. honda has warned that a no—deal brexit would cost his company tens of millions of pounds. it‘s european boss told the bbc that quitting the bloc without an agreement would affect

the carmaker‘s competitiveness in europe. he said the japanese firm was preparing for a no—deal outcome but had not discussed relocating its swindon plant. customers of house of fraser say they fear they‘ll be out of pocket — since the company hasn‘t confirmed how it will honour the retailer‘s gift cards. when it was bought by sports direct, concerned customers were told to send in gift cards for "a replacement". but a month after the deal, they say they‘ve heard nothing and the chain is not responding to questions. good morning. let‘s get more on that news. that eu workers should be given "no preference" for visas to come to the uk after brexit. that‘s the recommendation of the the migration advisory committee — which also recommends that it should be easier for higher—skilled workers to migrate to the country. it has called on the government to scrap how many high—skilled workers it grants visas to — that‘s currently 20,700 a year for those from non—eu countries. joining us now is anna mccaffrey, an employment lawyer at taylor wessing. what do you make of these proposals?

i think this will be welcomed in certain quarters. there is bring pressure for a while in terms of rules and regulations to highly skilled workers. i think it is broadly good news the cap is proposed to be lifted for everyone. the other key part of the recommendations is that if we exit free movement and movement of eu workers comes to an end, they will have to apply for a visa, will they be given special treatment? it will be given special treatment? it will bea be given special treatment? it will be a level playing field for all. which theoretically should make it easier to have migration from countries where perhaps we currently only have a small number. we are talking about high skilled workers. and that is the bit that gets interesting. because that would have a detrimental effect on business and therefore on their profitability. and our economic growth of the country, if it is difficult to get people with the right skills?

certainly. i think businesses have been quite vocal that one of their main concerns about brexit is possible skill shortage. if eu workers are no longer allowed to come here under the free movement rules. i think certainly it is important to business that they can relatively easily get the skills they need for vacancies. and that therefore it is good news for highly skilled workers that the cap is no longer applies and people coming in should meet demand. subject to the visa process itself and employers probably having to meet the costs of these are processors and immigration fees. but certainly i think most businesses will be receptive to easing of rules, allowing them to plug skill shortages, especially in relation to highly skilled workers. and what we‘re talking about here is removing that cap for workers that come from outside the eu. this is not just a brexit

come from outside the eu. this is notjust a brexit issue, is it? no. although saying that i suppose it has come to the forefront because we will need to consider a migration policy as a result of brexit. it is also worth pointing out that whilst the report recommends there is no special treatment for eu workers, thatis special treatment for eu workers, that is on the basis this is considered in isolation. it is possible that treatment of eu workers coming into the uk post brexit becomes something that is an issue to be discussed as part of the exit negotiations. thank you for explaining all of that. an employment lawyer at taylor wessing. let‘s take a look at some of the other business news around today. the european commission has opened a formal investigation into whether bmw, daimler and vw colluded over clean emission technology. the commission wants to establish whether the car makers agreed not to compete with each other on developing rival systems that would have reduced harmful emisions. the eu says that would have meant consumers were denied the opportunity to buy

also calls on the government to make it easier for high—skilled workers to come to the uk after brexit. it comes as latest figures showed that net migration from the eu was at its lowest level since 2012, with the number of eu citizens coming to look for work down by a third. we can pull out some interesting findings in the report. it points out that european migrants contribute much more to the health service and the provision of social care in financial resources and work than they consume. it also says that there is no evidence that migration has reduced the quality of health care. and that migrants are a small fraction of people in social housing, but a rising fraction of new tenants. our home affairs correspondent danny shaw has the details. this is a major report which will inform the government strategy for

immigration after brexit and particularly from 2021, after the transition period. i suppose the key finding is that there should be a worldwide immigration system for britain, there shouldn‘t be a distraction from migrants from the eu and outside europe. it is different from what we have at the moment, where citizens have free movement across eu states. the report says we should encourage people with high skills, doctors and engineers, to come to britain and we should have more people with medium skills, plumbers and electricians, coming to the uk. there should be fewer restrictions on those workers, however they should not be a specific scheme for people classed as low skills, cleaners and in hospitality, poor example. that is one of the controversial proposals, because there will be —— for

example. there will be businesses worried that the supply of workers could dry up after brexit. let‘s cross now to westminster. 0ur assistant political editor norman smith is there for us. i suspect folk in government will by and large support today‘s report, they will be sympathetic to the idea of ending preferential treatment for eu migrants. they will be attracted to the idea of attracting more high skilled workers and do the idea of curbing low skilled migrants coming to britain. whether any of that can survive political reality is another matter, because mrs may has already signalled she will have to make more compromises to get a brexit a deal, that may mean more give on freedom of movement. there is also a backlash building on the clamp—down on low skill migration from the

business community. i enjoyed by a member of the cbi. i think when you talk to businesses, what they want to be able to find is the people they need to grow their businesses. they don‘t really recognise the distinction between low and high skilled. at the moment, the system we have four eu migrants, the two tier system, it doesn‘t have any distinction for those earning less than £30,000. so business wants to know how we will find people to work on construction, lab technicians, we need to acknowledge all the skills we need to grow businesses around the country. jolly the answer is that business needs to do a lots more in training up uk—bore network

risk? it's not a choice, businesses need to keep investing in people now and we need to see that system working better but we also need access to talent from around the world. if we shut the doors tomorrow we would have huge challenges in running hospitals, social care and growing businesses. surely there is a link between the two, there is no incentive for business to train up uk—born workers when you can recruit very often better educated and qualified eu migrants who are perhaps willing to work for less?|j perhaps willing to work for less?” don‘t recognise that at all, the businesses i talk to care about the people who work for them now and wa nt to people who work for them now and want to invest in training. they say to me the skills they have to invest in training aren‘t fit for purpose. when we look at the apprenticeship levy, it‘s to continue and not flexible enough. it is difficult for

businesses to access apprenticeships in the retail sector and high employment sectors where we need more investment in training. businesses need to invest in training and access skills and talent to grow. has significant do you think is the suggestion there should be no preferential treatment for eu migrants? i think what we do know is the system we have at the moment a9 eu citizens is your graphic and hard for businesses to access. if we have access for eu migrants we would have difficulty in finding nurses and the people we need to grow. i don‘t think that is fit for purpose. i think the migration report today acknowledges the huge contribution that migration has made to our economy and it hasn‘t had a detrimental impact on job creation or pay and standard of

living in the uk. and give very much. we‘re not going to get much reaction from mrs may or government ministers today, the home office put out a bland statements, but in terms of further insight into what the government is going to do, i‘m certain we will have to wait until the tory party conference. i am joined in the studio by sunder katwala, who is director of british future — an independent think—tank interested in integration — and alp mehmet — vice—chairman of migration watch uk, a think tank calling for reduced levels of immigration to the uk. welcome to you both. what do you think of this report? we

hoped the importance of acknowledging the positive impact of migration? —— we heard the importance. i don't think anyone thinks that migration at a reasonable level has anything other than a positive impact. we are concerned about the levels and this report does nothing about bringing levels down. if anything, it is able stop agility in the way it is replacing —— if anything it is a missed opportunity in the way it is replacing low skilled workers with people from the rest of the world. also looking locally before you go beyond these shores to bring in people. that is a mistake, i think, particularly because formally in people looking for work in this country. there are some good things there, but also it does nothing about bringing numbers down.

what is your prospective? nothing about bringing numbers down. what is your prospective ?m nothing about bringing numbers down. what is your prospective? it is a key moment to get on with this debate, the government has been ducking it. they are right to suggest we should treat high and low skill immigration differently, i think the public would mostly agree with that. it is important we move away from this one size fits all migration target. i think there are tough challenges here for sectors that rely on migration, because outside of agriculture, the report suggests there will be very little low skilled migration at all. are you concerned about those sectors, the care homes, the catering industry, that do rely on low skilled workers and don‘t seem to be easier to get from europe than from this country? we talk about the unemployed in this country, but

there is a perception from business that the overseas workforce is more adaptable and perhaps harder working? i won't take the harder working? i won't take the harder working bits, iwent working? i won't take the harder working bits, i went accept of that. i think if you pay sufficient levels and conditions improve then you‘re much more likely to find workers locally. it was the migration advisory committee itself that said it‘s not credible that there aren‘t these workers are available, if you pay enough, you will find them locally. i think it would be a big challenge to make a change. a couple of things are missing from this report, it says we don't think enough about local impact because it is hard to study. what we found going round the country as it is a national issue experience at a local level and how you handle the impact locally matters. also the public are missing from this report, no—one has

informed the public. you need the public's consents, they don't feel it has been handled well, they need to be involved by ministers in how they handled this evidence. just on what was being said about the local workers coming if you pay enough and do the right thing?” workers coming if you pay enough and do the right thing? i think training is important and curbing the level of pay you have for migration workers is an option worth looking at. if you say we aren't going to have any immigration below £30,000 that will be a massive change. in places like care homes, they think the immigration we have now is valuable. i think we will need some controls, low skill groups afterwards. the other issue is the

migration committee today has said we don't know what is in those negotiations, so we don't have a view. the baker political question is how do you balance getting a deal? the migration advisory committee have said, that wasn't our job to look at that. we know exactly what the public thinks, they want lower levels of migration and that doesn‘t seem to have been factored in. it is the issue that consistently concerns people. yeah, it‘s dropped from the eu, though, since the referendum. it's 90,000 nets, that is double the overall figure for net migration was in 1997. that is the point, that people

wa nt lower levels 1997. that is the point, that people want lower levels of migration and this report does nothing to address that. thank you both very much indeed. more on today‘s main stories coming up on newsroom live here on the bbc news channel, but now we say goodbye to viewers on bbc two. i have to admit, i don‘t know what i‘m about to do! a bit of confusion there was saying goodbye to bbc 2. two members of the sas have been acquitted of negligence in connection with a march in the brecon beacons injuly 2013 in which three reservists died. the judge at the court martial in wiltshire said the two men, who were the safety officers for the march, had no case to answer. lance corporal edward maher, lance corporal craig roberts and corporaljames dunsby died after the trek on the brecon beacons on one of the hottest days of 2013. duncan kennedy has been following the court martial in bulford, wiltshire.

this all goes back tojuly 2013, when these three men were taking pa rt when these three men were taking part in sas selection, reservists trying to get into the sas reserves. 0na16 trying to get into the sas reserves. on a 16 mile march in the brecon beacons in temperatures approaching 30 celsius, each one of them carrying a backpack with £50 of bricks, a gruelling trek across the brecon beacons to try and get into the sas. during the course of that day, all three men died from a combination of heat stroke and heart failure. two men were put on trial, the two men in charge of that operation who can‘t be named for legal reasons. the prosecution said those two men were negligent, they hadn‘t shown due care and diligence

or put in place a rescue plan in case of any soldiers got into difficulty. but today the judge has thrown out the case against the two men ordering the panel to find the two men not guilty of negligence. he said the only acted as any other individual would have acted and they did show care and due diligence and what was at fault here was the military. he said there were systemic failures that took part and resulted in these three deaths. afterwards, the wife of one of the men gave her reaction. it has been over five years since my husband died. andi over five years since my husband died. and i miss him everyday. this court—martial has revealed the shocking reality, that there is

still no official guidance for those conducting endurance training marches in the british army, even five years on. this is beyond unacceptable. and shows blatant ignorance to a vital need where, apparently, three deaths are not enough. nothing highlights this more than, since the inquest in 2015, there had been yet further incidents from heat in training, even an brecon. we‘ve all spirit is the intense heat this summer and all heard of the increased number needing medical help from the effects of the heat. i believe we need to update our national conversation around a our awareness of keeping safe in the. i now call

upon the heads of our british army, the newly appointed chief of staff, who was ultimately in charge and at the top of the chain of command for the top of the chain of command for the sas selection march injuly 2013. to prioritise and to put extra reason as is behind completing and implementing the new guidelines and directives for injuries marches and heat illness. the ministry of defence have already reacted to this case and passed on their condolences to the families of the three men and say they have made many changes to the sas selection which are now in place and they hope there will be any more accidents like this. the headlines on bbc news:

the government is told eu migrants should be given no preference over those from the rest of the world and the cap on skilled workers should be scrapped, by its migration advisory committee. two sas members are acquitted of negligence over the deaths of 3 reservists in the brecon beacons — the widow of one of the dead says safety questions remain. the trade war intensifies between the world‘s two largest economies. the us imposes new tariffs on chinese products worth £150 billion. sport now. there‘s a big change at the top at arsenal, after nine years at the club, the chief executive ivan gazidis will leave the club at the end of the month and take up a similar role at ac milan. gazidis was instrumental in recruiting unai emery in to replace arsene wenger as manager and he has been behind a change in management structure. he won‘t be directly replaced. raul sanllehi — previously at barcelona — has been promoted to head

of football and chief commercial officer vinai venkatesham will become managing director. the bolton defender stephen darby has retired at the age of 29, after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease. darby came through the youth ranks at liverpool before moving to bradford in 2012 and joining bolton last summer. he hasn‘t played since december. manager phil parkinson said, "this is heartbreaking news for stephen and his family, he is an outstanding professional and a fantastic person". the champions league returns tonight — liverpool face paris st germain at home. managerjurgen klopp says defeat in last season‘s final to real madrid didn‘t damage his side at all. klopp believes that their run last year will have earned them a lot of respect. they have won their first five matches of the season, just like the french champions, who rested star players neymar and killina mbappe with tonight‘s game. red star belgrade and napoli

are the other teams in that group. kick off at anfield is at 8pm. matches are staggered on match days now, totteham kick off against inter milan at the san siro at 5:55pm. spurs won their group last season, but‘s another tough one. barcelona and psv eindven the other two teams in group b. formula 0ne‘s new owners have secured a deal to sell sponsorship to betting companies — something the old f1 boss bernie ecclestone always refused to allow. he thought it would tarnish the sport‘s image. liberty media have reached an agreement thought to be worth $100 million with a london—based marketing agency, who‘ll set up the deals, allowing sponsors to advertise on electronic boards at race tracks and display graphics on screen. the news comes at a time when sport is increasingly looking at its relationship with the gambling industry. johanna konta enjoyed a quick and straightforward win

at the pan pacific open in tokyo, dropping only two games against the canadian qualifier gabriela dabrowski to reach the second round. dabrowski is ranked at over 500 in the world to konta‘s a3, and the match was over in little more than an hour. that‘s all the sport for now. with just over six months to go now until the uk is due to leave the eu, all week on the bbc news channel, we‘re gauging the views of people up and down the country — and in europe — ahead of this pivotal moment. we can go live now to brussels, where that final brexit deal — if there is one — is being hashed out day after day in a series of increasingly tense negotiations. 0ur europe correspondent gavin lee is there. brussels has been the home for the talks, dominic raab is the face of

the negotiations for brexit for the uk, michelle barney on the eu side. your usually talking to me at the european commission, but today we area european commission, but today we are a stone‘s throw away in the main square of brussels. hedwall square you, you can see how crowded it is today. a lot of officials are getting ready to move to salzburg, because in austria for the next few days there will be an informal summitand days there will be an informal summit and readers will get a sense, the first time they have met with theresa may, the first time after the chequers agreements where they think they have done enough to not damage the irish border and agree on freight and trade, mostly aligned to allow for a breakthrough. we share matter couple of senior politicians lead that is a blank too much. 0n

this side of europe, michel barnier with said the deal was dead anyway as the eu would not agree to chequers. we‘ll see tomorrow. let‘s get a sense for one of the key issues when it comes to an agreement or no agreements, the impact would be felt at the borders initially. pauline is the head of european policy and brexit at the european freight association. gave us your sense of where we are with the talks and what leaders should be doing tomorrow? where we are now with only six months left before brexit is not where we were hoping to be a couple of years ago. we still have many u na nswered of years ago. we still have many unanswered questions as an industry, and although we are problem solvers, there are a lot of things it cannot be done without agreements, for insta nt be done without agreements, for instant transport. if there is no

agreements to keep planes flying and trucks crossing borders, we‘re not going to be able to do it on our own. so my message to the leaders in salzburg is to make sure there is a transition and please start comparing contingency measures for no deal now. theresa may is saying it‘s my deal or no deal. if it came down to no agreements, what is the effect you see for freight on the day brexit happens? their first effect is that trucks wouldn‘t be able to cross the border in less they get hold of a very limited number of permits. we think it would only cover up to 5% of the current flow. 16,000 trucks cross the border every day on the dover strait,

dover—calais, dover—dunkirk, but there are other ports as well. planes would stop flying and we would see massive trafficjams as well. this is the worst case scenario. 0bviously, well. this is the worst case scenario. obviously, we don‘t want to be in that scenario, so we are urging everyone to sit down and consider the implications and find mitigating measures. you must be concerned by the wives of the french europe minister talking about if there was no deal, there wouldn‘t necessarily be an agreement straightaway on aviation? she applied there wouldn‘t be an agreement for transports, this is something that would be managed unilaterally on both sides, but that cannot work. we need certainty and agreements and a broad agreement for

the transition period. if that‘s not the transition period. if that‘s not the case, she needs to realise as do other leaders there is no other way, we need agreement on transport. we have been talking today about this report from the migration advisory committee saying there would be no preferential treatment for eu workers in future, it would be on the basis of skills who can come the uk. you think this would have an impact on freight trade because of eu workers in warehouses in the uk? a quarter of warehouse workers in the uk at the moment are eu nationals. it is important that those currently resident in the uk can remain, we think the government will fulfil its promise there, but would like even more legal certainty there. but what about agency workers not resident in the uk? there important to our business but only come for a couple of months, would

they be protected in the future? thank you. we take a look at the square today, absolutely beautiful. when european leaders such as angela merkel, here for summits, they get time to briefly walk around and see b—sides of brussels. angler michael was scenic here having german fries. we leave you with the sounds of the mexican band in the background. russia‘s defence ministry says it‘s holding israel responsible for the loss of a military surveillance plane over the mediterranean. the ilyushin—20 plane, which was carrying 1a people, vanished off the coast of syria last night. moscow says israel gave the russian military less than a minute‘s warning before launching air strikes on targets in syria. however unconfirmed reports in the american media claim washington believes syrian government anti—aircraft artillery accidentally downed the plane.

a us supreme court nominee and a woman who has accused him of sexual assault will testify at a public hearing of the senate judiciary committee next monday. christine blasey ford says brett kavanaugh assaulted her when they were both at high school more than 35 years ago. mr kavanaugh, a conservativejudge, denies the allegation. an anti—kremlin activist supporting the protest group pussy riot was likely poisoned — that‘s according to a berlin hospital doctor, where he‘s being treated. pyotr verzilov is best known for an anti—putin protest at the world cup final in moscow earlier this year. he was flown from moscow to berlin for specialist treatment after falling ill last week. the doctor at berlin‘s charite hospital said that while he is no longer in danger, he still needs intensive care. now it‘s time for a look at the weather with darren bett. the first named storm of the season

appears tomorrow. gusty today, showers from the west and still warm, mid 20s across midlands and the southeast. shower was lively through the evening, pushing eastwards with clear spells, and rain arriving in northern ireland this evening. 0vernight, temperatures up to 1a degrees. a amber warning tomorrow for the winds, we are expecting the peak of the gas in lines. strong and gusty southwesterly winds. notjust the gas in lines. strong and gusty southwesterly winds. not just across northern ireland and scotland, but heavy rain pushing across through the day. rain working across england and wales, were it‘s still quite

warm for the year, but chillier in the wind. this is bbc news. our latest headlines: eu migrants should be given no preference over those from the rest of the world, and the cap on skilled workers should be scrapped, says the government‘s migration advisory committee. two sas members are acquitted of negligence over the deaths of 3 reservists in the brecon beacons — the widow of one of the dead says safety questions remain. the trade war intensifies between the world‘s two largest economies. the us imposes tariffs on chinese products worth £150 billion. russia says syrian forces shot down one of its military planes — and blames israel for a ‘set up.‘ claire foy was among a number of british winners at the emmy awards in la. thandie newton and matthew rhys also took some of the top prizes at the ceremony. the headteacher — who featured

in the channel a series educating greater manchester — has resigned from his role as executive head at harrop fold high in salford. drew povey was suspended in the summer term along with 3 other members of staff, pending an investigation over the incorrect recording of attendance, exclusions and home schooling. mr povey acknowledged there had been administrative errors, but in a tweet, he said he could "no longer sit quietly under the threat of "you cannot comment or you will breach your code of conduct". 0ur correspondent, marc ashdown, is following this story and joins me with the latest. small. a programmer was a big hit. much of the success was down to

three preview. he was inspirational, turning around the lives of disadvantage kids. it was a huge surprise injuly disadvantage kids. it was a huge surprise in july when disadvantage kids. it was a huge surprise injuly when he was suspended as the council made an investigation into issues surrounding off rolling of pupils. essentially that is how they recorded their attendance figures, how that sort of coded and it is quite a big deal. 0fsted have raised concerns, about 300 schools potentially using those figures, to improve their data. mr pavey denies any wrongdoing. it was a tiny number, just three pupils last year. today he has taken the stand. he has resigned, coming out fighting on social media this morning, publishing his resignation letter. he feels he has been unfairly treated, you feel the relationship of the council has broken down. he said he was offered a payoff to go quietly, but he decided he wanted to make a stand. we made a mistake and we held our hands up when we realised what had happened and we took responsibility. i believe it‘s really important

for leaders to take responsibility. but i‘ve got to be really clear, you know, this is a very small number of students, 0.2% of the school population that we are talking about. but the way that it has been approached, you know, you can only go through a process if you trust the process, and i don‘t trust this process now. the council has given us a statement. they refute the allegations that this is a personal vendetta, although he was offered money to walk away. they say this isn‘t in doubt, wide—ranging investigation to many serious allegations and will continue in the interests of the school. it is worth pointing out, mr povey says he will continue cooperating with investigation even though he has resigned. this is a big issue costs across the country. i have been taped up into many head teacher unions and they say they are concerned about the pressure on

them. they say it is football manager syndrome. as if they are only as good as their last figures. drew povey says he is making the standard talk up for the who cannot speak out. thank you. the trade war between the united states and china hasjust stepped up a gear —with washington imposing tariffs on thousands more chinese products. the taxes affect goods worth 200 billion dollars. president trump said china had been unwilling to change what he described as its unfair trade practices. beijing warned it would have no choice but to retaliate — but the us says it‘s ready for that, as karishma vaswani reports. this is how china has become rich over the last four decades. making everything from tories to circuit boards for the rest of the world. and one of its biggest customers, the united states. but now almost half of everything china makes and sells to the us will be covered under the latest tariffs. president trump says this is his way of levelling the playing field. it should have been done many years ago, it should have been done

by other presidents. and actually it is a disgrace that it wasn‘t done. but american companies also manufacture products in china. and in a nod to their concerns, things like smart watches and bluetooth equipment have been left off trump‘s tariff list. in return, china said it has no choice but to defend itself. china has to retaliate against us measures, to firmly defend our rights and interests and safeguard the global free trade order. china‘s growing middle classes are a big market for american products, that is what has kept us businesses in china. that is what they are worried about losing because of this trade war. and for china, it is the future at stake. it was moving away from the old model of growth into high—tech industries. but these trade tensions could hurt china‘s ability to get the technologies it needs. ultimately though, that

would hurt america also. someone said, it is like a husband and wife, you can quarrel, but you cannot divorce, because you have children. all your babies, the multinationals in both countries, investment being settled there for decades. when two giants crash, the rest of us are caught in the middle. the bigger damage this trade war could do is to the global economy and business confidence at a time when the world could do with more certainty, not less. well, this week the bbc is marking six months to go, until the uk is due to leave the european union. let‘s get the view from scotland now and it was one of the most pro—remain parts of the uk — voting against brexit by 62% to 38. 0ur correspondent catriona renton is in glasgow‘s prince‘s square. catriona. it is lunchtime here in princes

square. we‘re right in the heart of glasgow city centre. this city voted more than 66% to remain in the eu. that is even higher than the nationalfigure of 62%. that is even higher than the national figure of 62%. i that is even higher than the nationalfigure of 62%. i have been out and about this morning talking to people on the streets of glasgow to people on the streets of glasgow to ask them what their views are with six months to go to brexit. for me, they‘re talking absolute gobbledygook and i do not understand one word of it. are we in or out? if we‘re out, do we still get a deal? or are we out and still get part of a deal? clueless, absolutely well and truly clueless. i think that the government are pulling the wool over everyone's eyes in relation to what's going on behind closed doors. why do you think that? because people can't be honest and i think the uk and the scottish government, everybody needs to come together and just start telling the truth. seeing a range of views on the

streets of glasgow. joining me to have a think about some of the questions that are being raised our doctor anthony sala moaning from the centre of european relations and doctor craig mike angus from the uk and changing europe. had loads of things out there. first of all, the big picture, anthony, when you are thinking about, you know, the idea that scots voted more overwhelmingly to stay the eu than any part of the uk, why is that? i think one aspect of why people would want to support eu membership is clearly the benefits that it brings. scotland is dependent on migration from the rest of the eu to sustain its economy and population. scotland receives a lot of funding for research and development for universities full stop and clearly being part of the eu is part of being working together with other countries. what is your

view on that? i do think it reflects ? view on that? i do think it reflects? look at glasgow, 66% of people here voted to remain. two thirds of the population. what you find in england, funnily enough, people feel very english. work much more likely to vote for brexit. when is it in scotland cobble people who feel scottish are less likely to do so. feel scottish are less likely to do so. people in scotland, the vehicle and cause of scottish independence, changes the dynamics of how brexit is seen. the relationship with the eu from a scottish perspective. let‘s talk about that. today is the anniversary, the fourth anniversary of the scottish independence referendum. but there have been lots of arguments about that why it did not win. there is in a beautifully stayed in the uk would stay in the eu, clearly that is not the case. do people feel misled? not necessarily. i think it is quite funny how a lot

has changed in the last four years and in many respects very little has changed. the relationship between scotland and the westminster government has changed massively, because of brexit. the underlying issues about how the uk is governed and how pulling out of things like the common fisheries policy, agricultural policy, are questions which remain to be answered. in a lot of ways not a lot is actually changed regarding public opinion towards independence. there are still a slight shift towards independence but very little. and there hasn't seen much of an overwhelming attitude for another independence referendum. but it remains to be seen once brexit really occurs. brexit hasn't happened yet, that is the key issue. anthony, so much uncertainty on the streets. people are saying will it cost me money to go abroad? will i be able to get a job? these are big

questions. people are very unclear. how can we get the messages more clearly as to what is this is going to mean to people? i think those uncertainties, fears are justified. brexodus completely obligated. i think it is important to remember when we get a brexit day, we hope if there is a deal we will have a withdrawal agreement and a political declaration to what will happen afterwards. but we will not know what brexit will really look like after yea rs what brexit will really look like after years that the britain have left the eu. until that plan transition period, or augmentation period, we won‘t know. we will largely remained the policies and institutions of the eu with out having a formal say and things are largely stay as they are. we really won‘t know what brexit looks like until well after brexit has happened. thank you for talking to me this lunchtime. you can see we are in the heart of cafe culture here, so i think we will go to enjoy some continental style lunch. let‘s get more on today‘s migration report which says that eu nationals should be subject

to the same immigration rules as everyone else after brexit. the migration advisory committee also recommends that it should be easier for higher—skilled workers to come in to the uk. pprofessor alan manning, chair of the migration advisory committee spoke to our economics editor kamal ahmed. eu migrants make a positive contribution to the economy. high skilled migration has been important in contributing to innovation and productivity. and what about low skilled migration? has that had a positive impact on the uk economy? there are some positive impacts. we find that it has made the price for personal services a little bit cheaper. but also the risk that it has actually had a slightly negative effect on wages for lower skilled workers. let's get more on this with

our head of statistics. hi, robert. tell us more about what the committee is proposing? what they really m ea n committee is proposing? what they really mean is that they will base the system for eu migrants after brexit on the system already in place for people who are coming from outside europe. if i am in france andi outside europe. if i am in france and i want to work in the uk, i hop on the plane and i chance that. but ifi on the plane and i chance that. but if i come from outside europe, i need to find an employer, to give me ajob, need to find an employer, to give me a job, thatjob needs to be a high skilled job, graduate—level a job, thatjob needs to be a high skilledjob, graduate—leveljob. they need to promise to pay me more than £30,000. so that is going to be the system that they are proposing should be in place after britain leads the eu. and what are they base their recommendation on? they are focusing really on skills and on salaries, rather than up on where you come from and that is because thatis you come from and that is because that is the thing that has the biggest impact on the effect that you will have in the uk. he said

that migrants who are high skilled have a bigger impact on productivity and government finances. it is a really clear case there. for example, people who live in the uk, born in the uk, we don‘t contribute to the public purse until we are earning about £30,000. and above that, that is when you start to put ina bit that, that is when you start to put in a bit more than you are taking out. that is nothing to do with where you come from, that is to do with the salary you are earning which is in relation to skill. just like for migrants, the effect you have, doesn‘t matter whether you come from remain in rwanda, that is not the thing that determines your impact on the public finances. they say let‘s focus on that instead of the source people are coming from. where would leave businesses relying on cheap labour? that'll make a difference. if you focus on high skilled labour and make it easier for them but don‘t have a rooting for them but don‘t have a rooting for low skilled migrants, a lot of the businesses that rely on low skilled labour like the hospitality sector, food preparation, things

like that, since 200a have been taking ina like that, since 200a have been taking in a lot of workers from the eu and expanded wildly are not going to be able to continue to do that. they‘re faced with a choice, do they try batten down the hatches or do they change the way in which they work. do they invest in training, automation, ways of improving productivity that will enable them to pay more per worker and still get people to come and work for them? that start to get a bit tricky when you think about one of the areas that the immigration advisory committee is most concerned about social care. there is not so much room to improve productivity there, there is only so many ways that you can bring somebody medicine or help them do the task can‘t normally do. you can‘t really automate that. hardly change the system than to enable people to come in, because a lot of the work there does come from outside the uk and it low skilled. the leaders of north and south korea are meeting for talks in pyongyang — aimed at establishing a lasting peace across the peninsula.

it‘s understood they could pave the way for a second summit between kimjong un and president trump — who is pushing the north koreans to move forward with denuclearisation. laura bicker reports from seoul. the leaders of the two countries greeted each other like two friends. from this girl, she got a hug from a president should properly never dream would set foot in her country. and for this chosen north korean girl, she got a hug from a president she probably never dreamed would set foot in her country. moonjae—in took time with the carefully—arranged crowds. they were dressed in their best to welcome this son of north korean refugees. more choreography was to come. tens of thousands lined the streets as the leaders‘ motorcade made its way through the city.

their shout means "0ne korea," a cry for reunification. but president moon can‘t enjoy this moment for too long. he has a lot of work to do. away from the cheering masses, he must persuade kimjong—un to take steps to disarm. i think the most important thing is that the progress of the last year needs to keep going forward. we cannot ever go back to another situation of fire and fury, of kim jong—un threatening to send missiles near guam. we might not escape that situation as lucky as we did last year. no crowds came to watch the summit in seal. there is only a passing interest in this third meeting. unemployment here is on the rise and president moon‘s high ratings are falling. many in the worlds are still watching. they know that president moon has to get some detailed plans about denuclearisation. the time for north korea to show their hand is now, if they are serious about disarming,

otherwise these summits will be dismissed as glossy photo 0ps. moonjae—in has three days to make a difference, both to the peace process and his own political career. laura bicker, bbc news, seoul. 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. he will also call brexit the "erotic spasm" of fundamentalists who don‘t care about the potential economic damage. the headlines on bbc news... the government is told eu migrants should be given no preference over those from the rest of the world, and the cap on skilled workers should be scrapped, by its migration advisory committee. two sas members are acquitted of negligence over the deaths of 3 reservists in the brecon beacons — the widow of one of the dead says

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. but facebook gathers that information about you as facebook user, as it does its other users, too? i doubt facebook knows the square footage of my home or how much i'm going to spend on my next car. 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 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 2a 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. an 85—year—old great grandfather who tackled would—be robbers has become an internet sensation. this is the moment denis 0‘connor fought off the men after they raided a bookies in glanmire, county york.

revealed the first private passenger it plans to fly around the moon. japanese billionaire yusaku maezawa will take off on the big falcon rocket, which was announced by spacex in 2016. 0ur north american technology reporter dave lee has more. finally i can say, i‘m very glad to be here. i choose to go to the moon! cheering. this is japanese billionaire yusaku maezawa. he 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 said he hopes to bring six to eight artists with him on thejourney. they won‘t actually land on the moon‘s surface, but will instead travel around it, like nasa‘s apollo 8 mission of 1968.

and this is the craft that might take them there — the bfr. which spacex says stands for big falcon rocket. it isn‘t built yet and there will need to be several test flights first. this is dangerous. this is no walk in the park here. you know, this will require a lot of training. mr maezawa has paid an undisclosed amount to be the first on the trip. the total project will cost around $5 billion, mr musk said. also looking to do commercial space travel is a company run by amazon chiefjeff bezos, and also richard branson with his virgin galactic programme. elon musk thinks he can get there first. although this is a man with a rather cavalier attitude towards his own deadlines. but he might get there one day. in a moment it‘s time for the one o‘clock news with simon mccoy but first it‘s time for a look at the weather.

some walked around for the next few days. but we are moving into u nsta ble days. but we are moving into unstable weather. together with some spells of rain, it will add up to some travel disruption and maybe some travel disruption and maybe some damage as well. today we have seen the cloud of breaking up, outbreaks of rain, some sunshine, but gusty winds also, especially across england and wales. some sunshine and showers coming in from the west. temperature is not far off what we had yesterday, actually. possibly 2a25 degrees through the midlands and parts of eastern england. those showers they could be a little heavy out of the west. moving their way further east words. clear spells also. towards the end of the night, we will see the end of the night, we will see the cloud thickening, rain arriving in northern ireland and wind is really starting to pick up, evidence that we still have this warm air. temperatures on the high side of 11 to 1a degrees. tomorrow sees the

first named storm of the season. this deepening area of pressure, thatis this deepening area of pressure, that is storm ali, picking up the winds in northern ireland, sweeping into scotland before it starts to ease off in the afternoon. the peak of the wind gusts inland. there is likely to be some damage and travel disruption. it will be pretty windy. elsewhere across the uk, gusty south to south westerly winds. and together with those winds, heavy rain across northern ireland, sweeping into scotland. a narrow band of rain across england and wales. sunshine either side of that, higher temperatures restricted more to the south—east corners where highs of 22 to 2a likely. still quite warm for the time of the year. elsewhere. but it will be windy and the strongest of the winds will be farthest north of scotland with the rainfora farthest north of scotland with the rain for a while. thursday, the rain should be much further south on this weather front here. it sort of gets stuck across some parts of the uk. a

lot of uncertainty as to whether rain on thursday. it could be the south—east corner of england sees very little rain until thursday night, but the rain is likely to develop more elsewhere across england and wales, not far away from northern ireland and southern scotland. so under the rain, it will feel quite a bit chilly, but still the last of the warmth in the south—east corner. eu nationals should be subject to the same immigration rules as everybody else after brexit. a report likely to influence post—brexit policy also suggests a cap on the numbers of skilled workers from outside the eu should be lifted. the problem with free movement is that you don‘t have control over the number of migrants and you don‘t have control on the mix of migrants. so we think that if migration is managed, there is a way in which it can accentuate the benefits and mitigate the costs. a warning from police chiefs that a no—deal brexit will make it harder for them to protect uk citizens. analysis from our assisted political
