today at 5: an official report says it should be easier for highly—skilled workers to the move to the uk after brexit. the report by the migration advisory committee also says that eu workers should not be given special access to britain after brexit. so we think if migration is managed there is a way in which it c improve there is a way in which it c improve the benefits and mitigate the costs. i'm in live in brussels getting a sense of european reaction to that news. sense of european reaction to that news. we will have the latest from brussels and westminster. we'll be talking to the former immigration minister damian green. the other main stories on bbc news at 5: two men have been acquitted of negligence in connection with a sas march in the summer of 2013 in which three reservists died. the trade dispute between the united states and china intensifies, as beijing promises to retaliate for the latest round of tariffs announced by washington.

i had the most extraordinary two and a half year of my life. i'm not going to cry! and at the emmys claire foy, thandie newton and charlie brooker were among the british winners at the awards last night. it's 5 o'clock. our main story is that the government is being urged by its own advisors to remove the cap on the number of highly skilled workers who want to move to the uk. currently, only 20,700 of these workers are granted visas each year. the migration advisory committee also recommends that workers from the eu should not get special access to britain after brexit, but says there is nothing to prove that increased migration from the eu has led to an increase in crime or a greater strain on the nhs. the home office says it will take

the findings into account when drawing up the uk's future immigration system from 2021. 0ur correspondent richard lister has more. immigration. it is at the heart of the brexit debate. and here is the question — how should britain control eu migration after we leave? the answer to that could be critical to this garment company in north london. 80% of the machinists are from eastern europe. there are 90 employees, but the boss wants another 50 and only the eu can supply the expertise they need. they are the ones that are already skilled. in their country they do years and years of training, experience. and it is really highly regarded as a craft. they are absolute masters at their profession. and it doesn't have the same standing as a career here in the uk. today's report said migrant workers have

little or no impact on those born in the uk in terms of wages orjob opportunities. but it does say some migrants are more beneficial to britain than others. it says in the future eu citizens should not be given preferential access to the uk over other migrants. but it does recommend making it easier for highly skilled workers to come in and lifting the cap on those outside the eu. while those who are lower skilled, it says, should face restrictions. the problem with free movement is that you don't have control over the number of migrants and you don't have control over 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 cost. but proposals to restrict lower skilled workers will sound alarm bells in many sectors of the eu economy. they are a staple of the british fruit picking industry and the report says that maybe one area that does need a bespoke migration

process. but the hospitality industry says it needs 200,000 eu workers every year to fill the current demand. if adopted, today's report could mean big changes for many british businesses. we need people with university degrees and we need people with intermediate skills. they can be technicians in laboratories, you can help to build the homes we need for future generations. they take a whole range of skills. the prime minister has already suggested it is time to end the double standard on migration from the eu and outside with one harmonised policy. but how high should the barriers to the uk be for foreign workers who wantjobs here? this report should help the government come up with an answer to that. 0ur chief political correspondent vicki young is at westminster. let's look at the broad thrust of

the report, which parts do you think will be acceptable to government and those parts that will be less acceptable? it is interesting, theresa may has made clear she thinks that freedom of movement must end. so the big question has been what are you going to replace it with? people have been waiting some time to find an answer. that is why this report was commissioned in the first place by the former home secretary, amber rudd, the element that will appeal to theresa may is the idea that there will be no preferential treatment for eu citizens. this may help her control who comes into the country and what kind of skill there is will be. but there is a question mark over this, because people are looking at a future trade deal with the eu and often those kind of trade deals talk about some kind of give and take and

so about some kind of give and take and so you might get a better deal if you give that to other. kenneth clarke said you have to be careful what you bring in, because it is likely whatever system we have for eu citizens, that will be the same for british people who want to work elsewhere. i think it is difficult for politicians and difficult for theresa may, she is having to reconcile the anxiety that we saw that many people have about the levels of immigration, reconciling that with the needs that we hear so often from businesses, and we hear from the treasury saying the british economy needs these workers to stay productive. thank you. the conservative mp damian green was first secretary of state and minister for the cabinet office under theresa may and immigration minister under david cameron. thank you for coming in. just

thinking, the broad balance of these recommendations, do you think they're recommendations, do you think they‘ re acceptable? recommendations, do you think they're acceptable? broadly, yes, they're acceptable? broadly, yes, they have done a good job. i think they have done a good job. i think they have done a good job. i think they have pin pointed what is the underlying point of immigration policy, which is that we do want people to come here who can contribute. so maybe we need more visas for skilled people, but we don't actually want completely uncontrolled immigration of the type we saw 15 years ago. striking that balance will be as key after brexit and as difficult after brexit as it has been during the period we have beenin has been during the period we have been in the eu. freedom of movement in the traditional sense will go, the prime minister has made that clear, that seems to be one of great demands from the referendum result so, that has to happenment —— happen. but the trade deal will be

central. whatever we adopt in terms of other eu states, they're likely to look at carefully and possibly try to adopt similar measures, that isa try to adopt similar measures, that is a cause for concern or not? it shouldn't be a cause for concern, this will be true in all aspects of the trade deals that we want to sign. the first and the most important one with the eu, but looki beyond that. there will be an element of saying, who are you going to create our citizens and what access to to create our citizens and what a ccess to workers to create our citizens and what access to workers have? and i think we will replace the system of simple free movement, but we still will need skilled people in the economy. but also at the same time, we have got to look at how we can train up oui’ got to look at how we can train up our own workers got to look at how we can train up oui’ own workers so we got to look at how we can train up our own workers so we have got a more skilled workforce and maybe in some sectors look whether the

availability of cheap labour over the decades has meant that maybe we haven't invested enough in capital, which may be one of reasons why our productivity growth has been so slow. when we look at highly skilled workers and we have talked about doctors and people in different professions, isn't this point really recognising that the cap imposed by theresa may and others at the home 0ffice theresa may and others at the home office was set at the wrong level? no, i don't think so. i think for many years, when i was immigration minister, we never hit the cap on skilled visas, if you're talk about that, that is a limit that is the one the committee said should be scrapped and that changes over time and whether you want to scrap it or increase it from the current level is something the government will decide. but the root of these questions is the ability to strike a balance to keep britain open to the

most skilled and talented people from around the world, many of whom wa nt to from around the world, many of whom want to come and live and work here, because we are in an attractive place to live and work, but not give people the impression that they, that we have got no control over our borders. that has been the impression in the past and that is why think having some limit, you can argue about where it should be, but having that aspiration is good for retaining public confidence in the immigration system. we have spoken to lots of viewers ahead of six month marker before we are set to leave the eu. a lot of people make it clear that they're expecting to see some kind of measururable fall in migration, that is what they expect to see, whatever limit, they wa nt to expect to see, whatever limit, they want to see a reduction. is that achievable or not? it is, but of course it is a measure of something that affected by many different

ci’oss that affected by many different cross currents. it will depend on how well the british economy does compared to other european economies oi’ compared to other european economies or other economies around the worlds. i think one of reasons why if you like since brexit people have been concentrating on have we got the available skills is, what skills do we need, in some sense the debate has turned, that is because we have managed to run the economy successfully and unemployment is low, so it is difficult to argue that brits are being kept out of jobs, because employment is at a high level. so there will be ebbs and high level. so there will be ebbs a nd flows high level. so there will be ebbs and flows in the economy. so i think brexit clearly gives an opportunities to reset the system, to show that the system is both efficient and also still manages to attract the right sort of people, the right people we need notjust for our economy, but for our society, such as doctors, where the government has already taken them

out of the skilled visas limit and strike that balance. thank you. since the eu referendum, the number of people coming to the uk from eastern europe has fallen sharply and in the first three months of this year more of them left the uk than arrived. the bbc‘s steph mcgovern has been speaking to polish migrants here in the uk and in warsaw to find out why so many are choosing to move back. warsaw, the polish capital, with a booming economy and wages growing 7% this year, there are lots of things to tempt back the one million poles in the uk. there are lots of industries doing well here, your traditional ones like manufacturers and agriculture, but also things like financial services and tech companies too. i'm off to meet 0livia, who has moved back from the

uk. i see the change, i see the new buildings, restaurants shops. did you consider staying in the uk? yes i spent there one year and i loved london, it is a beautiful city, i was considering, but still i think thatjob opportunities was considering, but still i think that job opportunities here was considering, but still i think thatjob opportunities here for me are better in warsaw. since the referendum, the number of people coming to the uk from poland has fallen fast. in fact, in the first three months of this year, more people left the uk than arrived. and it is the first time we have seen that happen since poland joined the eu. unemployment in poland is at a record low and in fact there are a lot ofjob vacancies. so the government is trying to encourage more people to come back here. so they have offering things like benefits for young families. back in

the uk, coventry has been twinned with warsaw since 1957. so what did the polish people here think about going back? i discussed it with my husband and my friends and we decided to stay here, because we have got everything here. we have got our life here. we have a house here and we have friends here. have any of you thought about going back to poland ? any of you thought about going back to poland? yes, first after brexit result. yes. my sister came to the uk and we went to restaurants and some guy asked us to speak english, because we're in england. that must feel you like so frustrate and upset. i think this makes us feel unneeded, unwanted in this country. that is why we are thinking about other options. what are your thoughts on pow poland's doing now? so the economy is developing, but i

think the quality of life is still not improving as fast as the economy. maybe the salaries are a little bit better, but still much lower than other european countries. there are lots of polish people who see great opportunities here. this man works at one of the region's engineering companies. the coventry area has a rich history in terms of design and engineering and research and development. do you think you have more opportunities here than you would have in poland for what you would have in poland for what you want to do? i wouldn't be table to do the same things back in poland asido to do the same things back in poland as i do here. for the polish migrant s as i do here. for the polish migrant 5 who have made a life here, there isa 5 who have made a life here, there is a pull in both directions as the country they left bemind has seen as economic transformation and opportunity is growing, but there is still a lot of catching up to do and with a polish right—wing government, some migrants feel going back is not

an option. with just over 6 months to go until the uk is due to leave the eu, all week on the bbc news channel we're assessing the views of people across britain and in other parts of the eu. we can go live now to brussels, where that final brexit deal — if there is one — will be finalised after months of tense negotiations. 0ur europe correspondent gavin lee is there. it isa it is a slightly different view, we are only a stone's throw from the european commission and council, where at each summit brexit talks have been on the agenda, this is the place the main square, if we look around, nice time of the afternoon, the art of city is being drawn out here, where angela merkel sometimes comes here, where angela merkel sometimes co m es after here, where angela merkel sometimes comes after a summit. what is happening now is that some of the key figures of the european council, donald tusk and michel barnier are packing their bags, because tomorrow

they're heading to salzburg for the summit where theresa may meets the other leaders, it is the first meeting since the chequers plan, where the british government think they have compromised. but some say it is giving too much. today, this report from the mice migration advisory committee, that says there should be no preferential system for people from europe. the caveat was, the advice to the british government, is that they could use that as a negotiating position with the eu to say if you want preferential treatment, listen to us on other areas. let's talk to a cypriot mep, a left mep, when you hear that, the british government

being advised there should be no preferential treatment is what your instinct? let me first thank you for giving me the opportunity to pass my ideas to the british audience. i believe that this is just the beginning issue. ithink believe that this is just the beginning issue. i think that after brexit all the europeans should have the same rights, should have the possibility to exercise the same rights as they do now in the united kingdom. any other thing on the table i really believe that this is just a game coming out from the british governmentjust just a game coming out from the british government just to put pressure on the table of the negotiations. there are 300,000 cypriots living and working in the uk when you see the developments ahead of this summit, what is the cypriot view and your view on how brexit has been managed at the

moment in the uk? well, connected that to the cyprus, you mean, i believe what i already said, after the brexit, the cypriots in england and the united kingdom, the british in cyprus, the cypriots who now live in the british bases in cyprus, the british who live in the british basesin british who live in the british bases in cyprus, all of them, they will have the... it is a must to continue having the same rights as they do have now. another point that not everyone knows about, because the fascination has been with the situation with gibraltar and the northern ireland borderers but one issue includes cyprus. there are two british bases there. 7,000 cypriots live in that borderer the —— border territory. why that is still an

important issue that has not been resolved? well, i think that the british government uses the fact that they have there the british bases and they say, look, after the brexit, this rights of the people who now live here, or work here, they may be reduced. and again here happens the same game as i said before is happening on the table of the negotiations between the united kingdom and the eu. in my opinion, it is not negotiatable even to discuss or think more than a second than the people who live there for centuries, there is any possibility to reduce their rights. it is for me it's... absolutely to reduce their rights. it is for me it's. .. absolutely out to reduce their rights. it is for me it's... absolutely out of any sense. thank you. you can see how busy it

is tonight. it is worth saying on the cypriot issue, you have 7,000 cypriots living around the base area, and if you're a farmer and you have access to the common agricultural policy and brexit happens, do you still have access and british territory in cyprus ta kes and british territory in cyprus takes up 3% of sovereign territory and it is the only area that uses the euro. in that british part, do they still use the euro. that is one of the smaller issues, but one that has not been resolved. thank you. and later in the programme we'll be answering some of your brexit questions with our economics editor, kamal ahmed, as part of our ‘ask this' segment. the headlines on bbc news: make it easier for highly—skilled workers to move to the uk after brexit — the recommendation of a report for government.

two sas members are acquitted of negligence over the deaths of three reservists in the brecon beacons. the trade war intensifies between the world's two largest economies — the us imposes new tariffs on chinese products worth £150 billion. in sport: england cricketer ben stokes has been charged with bringing the game into disrepute. he was cleared of affray, but along with team mate alex hales, they will face a disciplinary hearing in december. it has not been going harry kane's way, but he will hope his fortunes change when tottenham meet inter milan in the champions league. england have appointed a new defensive coach, new zealandersjohn mitchell will take over until after the world cup injapan next year. i'm back with more after 5.30.

the trade war between the united states and china has just stepped up a gear — with washington imposing tariffs on thousands more chinese products. the levies affect goods worth $200 billion. president trump said china had been unwilling to change what he described as its unfair trade practices. beijing has warned it would 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 toys 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. translation: 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. a lawyer for the widow of pc keith palmer — who was one of those killed in the westminster bridge attack last year — has told the inquest that security guidelines for the main gates to the palace of westminster had not been ‘followed or acted upon for a period of years'. dominic adamson, representing michelle palmer, was questioning pc lee ashby — one of two firearms officers on duty in new palace yard during the terror attack of march last year. 0ur correspondentjenny kumah

is at the old bailey. what was said today? well today we had more evidence from pc lee ashby, who had described how he was in a pa rt who had described how he was in a part of new pa lance yard away from the gates and he explained he had received daily instructions to patrol the area according to a map, but he was unaware of new guidelines that said armed officer should be near the gate when they were open. he indicated that his fellow pcs we re he indicated that his fellow pcs were also unaware of the guidelines and some of his superiors were. the court was shown e—mail raising concerns that officers, the e—mail from the chief inspector of parliament, he raised concerns that officers wither not following

instructions and positioning themselves in the right areas. these e—mails dated back to february 2015. the law for pc palmer's widow suggested it was an extraordinary situation where armed officers had no idea what they were doing and lax security had persisted. pc ashby in response said that the area around the front of parliament known as sector three was too big, too large, for two officers. he thought there should have been four sets of armed officers at fixed points on the gate. he said he would fired at the attacker if he was at a fixed post and had a clear shot. tomorrow we expect to hear from and had a clear shot. tomorrow we expect to hearfrom pc and had a clear shot. tomorrow we expect to hear from pc saunders, and had a clear shot. tomorrow we expect to hearfrom pc saunders, the other armed officer and there may be details about the attacker, khalid masood. thank you. two sas servicemen have been acquitted of negligence

following the deaths of three reservists during a selection march in the brecon beacons five years ago. craig roberts, james dunsby and edward mayher died after being taken ill on the 16 mile march on one of the hottest days of the year. the judge said the two men from the sas — who were safety officers — had no case to answer. duncan kennedy reports. this is the gruelling route that shows the terrain of brecon beacons. testing ground for the sas. injuly 2015, craig roberts, edward maher and james dunsby collapsed on the march and died from heat stroke and organ failure. the two military organisers known to the court as 1a and 1b were charged with negligence. but today the judge stopped the court martial and ordered that the two men be found not guilty. he said

they were not negligent as individuals, that the realfault lay with what hoe what he called the failure of military authorities to train the men properly. the families of men who died said the mod failed in their duty. there is still no official guidance for those on endurance marches even five years on. this is beyond unacceptable. and shows blatant ignorance to a vital need, where apparently three deaths are not enough. this was one of scenes on the day of the accident. the three men had set off on the march carrying backpacks and gps trackers. near the end of the exercise, craig reports collapsed. ed maher also succumbed. james

dunsby was found on the final leg of march. the moved is immune from prosecution. in a statement it said: the three men had pushed themselves to the limit to join the sas. they died in the pursuit of their dream not because of the faults of individuals who were there, but because of the series of fatal shortcomings by the authorities. we will now have a look at the headlines and the sport, but let's catch up with the weather. darren is with me. good evening. very windy tomorrow. storm ali is on the way, the first named storm of the season.

at the moment we've got some blustery winds, and some heavy showers across northern ireland, wales, and the south—west. they push eastwards and have clear skies in between. they will pick up as this rain arrives in northern ireland later. drawing in some warm air. with storm ali, this is where we expect the strongest of the winds, with those sorts of gusts we can expect damage and travel disruption. we have an amber warning from the met office. it will be windy elsewhere, south—westerly winds, and it will be worse across scotland and northern ireland. heavy rain and frequent showers from the west. this rain pushes eastwards across england and wales, in east anglia we have the highest temperatures, quite warm for england and wales, not so for scotla nd for england and wales, not so for scotland and northern ireland. they're very scotland and northern ireland. they‘ re very wet scotland and northern ireland. they're very wet and windy.

and this is sport, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on this programme. it's back, matchday 0ne in the champions league, how far they're back, we have a special report from belgrade as the former european champions red star return to the top table. there is full coverage on the bbc sport website and we will cope typical keep you up—to—date here too. barcelona was the other early kick—off. lots of changes for tv purposes. liverpool are in action later against paris st germain. andy swiss is at anfield for us. a big game forjurgen klopp, in fact as an opener they don't come much tougher. liverpool should be brimming with

confidence, particularly after what they achieved in the champions league last season. 0k, they achieved in the champions league last season. ok, the final didn't go the way they wanted, but the way they got there, that swashbuckling, free flowing brand of football to blow away sides like manchester city and rome was really something to behold. add to that the way they had begun the premier league so far this season. five winds out of five, they beat totte n ha m winds out of five, they beat tottenham at the weekend, so not surprisingly, their manager is full of optimism. i like these challenges, but i only like it because i have a good team. a really good football team. so, that's why i say, i said lastjourney few times, ifi say, i said lastjourney few times, if i would not be a manager i would watch this game. and i would watch it. we all would, because this is

the glamour, isn't it? it doesn't get much tougher as an opening game for liverpool? it doesn't, no, paris st germain are one of the witjust side in world football. they have the two most expensive players in the two most expensive players in the history of the game. some stars for the french side who won the world cup in the summer. some of the big names as well, it's a tough proposition. they haven't really fulfil their potential in the champions league, they got knocked out in the last 16 last season, but they have also won their first five league games of this season and demolished think that the m4 near lomb friday without their big names. —— demolished saint ftn. england cricketers ben stokes and alex hales have been charged

departure might affect the economy ina departure might affect the economy in a sequence called ask this. thank you straightaway for sending your questions in. we will talk to our economics editor who has agreed to field some of the questions. we have a selection, 0k? field some of the questions. we have a selection, ok? i start with the immigration story we've been talking about today. just wondering, at this point, how do you see the potential economic consequences around the migration question? this is where economics and politics are in conflict. the migration report today says that eu immigration into the uk has been very positive for the economy. eu migrants pay more in tax, than they take out in public services or benefits. that is a good thing for the economy. but on the other hand controlling our borders as theresa may talks about is a good

policy to have. so the politics of control, may be in conflict with the economics of immigration. that doesn't mean that the politics is an important or that worries shouldn't be listened to. but economically, eu migration, open borders and free movement has been a net benefits to the economy. let's move onto some of the questions that have been sent in. tom sent this in by e—mail. as the government any analysis of the impact of the chequers plan? very specifically, this is the plan that theresa may came up with in the summer. an economic and social impact assessment. iam sure impact assessment. i am sure they have done an economic assessment of the chequers plan, we haven't seen it, but you can make a judgment on what it might say. certainly, the treasury economists, their models, have been knocked out

in terms of the relationship with the european union after brexit, and they suggest a simple thing. the closer we are to the eu, the closer we are to the present arrangements in the single market and customs union, the better for the in the single market and customs union, the betterfor the economy of the uk. 0nce union, the betterfor the economy of the uk. once again, the economics of that may be in conflict with the politics. the people voted to leave the european union, and there has, there could be, and most of the economic models from the respective organisations like the imf and london school of economics, the treasury itself, so that could be bad for the economy. nevertheless, people voted for that. i'm sure whether the chequers plan, the treasury believes, is less bad for the economy than crashing out, as it's described, with no deal. 0ur third question, thanks for that, eric has sent this in via twitter...

i would say that wales and northern ireland should be included in march two. is there a forecast for house prizes and what might happen after brexit? this is connected to many things, not just this is connected to many things, notjust membership this is connected to many things, not just membership of this is connected to many things, notjust membership of the european union. 0ne notjust membership of the european union. one thing that is connected, and we have seen a bit of this since the referendum, is that house prices have softened slightly. particularly in the south—east of england and london, where they were very high. the reason for that is probably a bit of uncertainty. people are less willing to take a big risk on a big purchase. they aren't sure how the economy will turn out. but, to a thai house prices in general too closely to brexit would be a mistake. —— to tidy house prices.

interest rates could go up, which would make mortgages more expensive. that could be expected to have a negative effect on house prices. but asi negative effect on house prices. but as i say, it's to do with a lot of other things, not just as i say, it's to do with a lot of other things, notjust brexit. the word uncertainty comes up time and time again. the car industry, as i mentioned earlier, gain, expressions of concern about the impact on the future of the car industry, which employs hundreds of thousands of people in the uk. what's that about? that's about the global supply chain. what's really interesting is that cars aren't made in one place. they are made in lots of different countries, bits of the engine in britain, other bits in germany, other bits in poland, or france, and all these supply chains work because we are in a single market. so the relationship is seamless, you can cross borders with no checks whatsoever. the problem

with these integrated supply chains, as in the drugs industry, and other types of industries, these supply chains relying on the single market. if we are out of the single market, which is what the government wants, they will be more friction of the border, more checks at the border. that will slow down production. that means they don't hold a lot of stock in theirfactory. so means they don't hold a lot of stock in their factory. so for the car industry, certainly, the more friction is they are, the more difficult it is for them, the more costs there are, the more impact there is on the number of people they employ. an interesting question from adam in cardiff. this is to do with post—brexit, and whether a deal just stays as the dallat was negotiated. the famous rule in britain is that no parliament can

bind a future parliament. so any deal that is sad loss can be unpicked by another government in the future. that is a risk, and the eu have already said they don't want to see this idea that we come to a deal, maybe it is agreed, but then parliament in the future, new government, new prime minister, decides to unwrap the deal to get a different deal. i think that shows the difference in constitutions in britain, much more informal, much more parliament lead, and on the continent where it is much more rules lead. this is a clash of approaches, but parliament and politicians could start to try and unpicked the deal even if we sign up at the first stage, before the end of the year, before march 2019. what an intriguing prospect. thank you very much. that was just a selection, there are lots of others.

it was good to cover a range of things and thank you to everyone for your questions. we are very grateful for that and we will be doing more during the course of the week. the liberal democrat leader sir vince cable is calling for a "movement of moderates" to sink the government's brexit plans. he's been speaking at the lib dems annual conference in brighton this afternoon. let's talk to our political correspondent jonathan blake, who's there, about what the lib dem leader has been saying in his speech. was it as blunt as i have said? was it as blunt as i have said7m really was. in his own words brexit is not inevitable and must be stopped. that has been the central message throughout the party conference here in brighton. it is something the liberal democrats used to set themselves apart from the lip typical labour and tories. we heard from vince cable about how he would plan to go about doing that, putting himself at the heart of a campaign

for a public vote on a deal, which, by the government, by the european union. he explained, brexit does not have to be inevitable. we brexit date may be the 29th of march, but it is only maybe. brexit is not inevitable. it can, and it must be stopped. for the true believers, the fundamentalists, the costs of brexit have always been inevitable. years of economic pain tojustify the exotic inevitable. years of economic pain to justify the exotic swizzle of leaving the european union. economic pain felt not buy them, but by those least able to afford it. the biggest reaction from this borders in the hall came for sir vince cable's attack onjeremy corbyn, will he said was indulging

anti—semitic bigots, and if he didn't come into backing a public vote on a brexit deal then he should resign. he also attacked theresa may said deep down she thought she didn't believe in brexit either. this may be vince cable's last party conference. he's announced he will go before the next general election. nobody seems to know when. supporters here seem, at the moment, content supporters here seem, at the moment, co nte nt to supporters here seem, at the moment, content to let him set his own timetable for departure. thank you for the latest from brighton. that's jonathan blake. that's jonathan blake. a jury has found that a bus driver caused the death of two people by dangerous driving. kai—lash chander, who's 80 and suffers from dementia, was unable to stand trial. in 2015, he lost control of a bus in coventry city centre, smashing into the front of a supermarket, killing a pedestrian and a seven—year—old passenger. ben ando reports. 82 metres of terror. that's how far down a busy street this double decker bus careered out of control before smashing into the fronts of a supermarket in coventry

in october 2015. pedestrian dora hancock, aged 76, was hit by the bus, then by a falling lamp post and killed. 0n the top deck in the front seat, seven—year—old rhona fitzgerald died when the bus struck the awning. at the wheel was kai—lash chander, who at the time was aged 77. he'd worked three consecutive 75—hour weeks before the crash and was approaching the end of a double shift as he pulled up at a bus stop in coventry city centre. when a driver is tired, they make mistakes and unfortunately when a mistake is made in a passenger—carrying vehicle, the consequences can be very severe. for three and a half minutes, kai—lash chander waited here with the bus in gear. not in itself dangerous, said the prosecution, but certainly lazy or sloppy. it also meant that when he released the handbrake, the bus surged forward and at that moment, mr chander appeared to panic. cctv suggests that at no time were the brakes applied.

prosecutors believe he suffered what crash investigators describe as "pedal placement error". it's rare, but not unknown. a former mayor of lemington, kai—lash chander had been warned numerous times about his driving after complaints from passengers and several minor accidents. mr chander‘s bosses were so worried, they sent one of their driver trainers under cover to observe his driving. his report makes for shocking reading. he found the bus was frequently speeding, that every bus stop was overshod and on one occasion mr chander pulled away with a passenger onlyjust on the platform and the bus doors still open. his employers, midland rail, a subsidiary of stagecoach, have pleaded guilty to health and safety violations and will be sentenced later. kai—lash chander is now suffering from dementia and will not drive a passenger bus again. but those who lived and the families of

those who did not are asking why on that day he was allowed behind the wheel at all. there's been success for several british stars at the emmy‘s —— america's biggest tv awards —— with claire foy, thandie newton and matthew rhys picking up significant prizes. but it was an american director —— with a surprise proposal —— who stole the show —— as our correspondent james cook reports. ladies and gentlemen, checking every box, please welcome the one of each dancers! the show began by satirising belated attempts to tackle sexual harassment and improve diversity on screen. hello? 0h, we did not solve it? i see. progress is slow, the nominees this year were more diverse than ever, but most of the big winners were still white. claire foy, the crown.

he has performed at multiple festivals this year, and been recognised as one of the uk's brightest young music talents, but it's his approach to his music that sets him apart. as a teenager, louisj walker first began using music as way to overcome his personal struggles and battles with mental health, and says that music has helped him make sense of his life. based in devon, he writes and produces all his own material combining hip—hop with the spoken word, and his new single ‘daylight‘ is out today. but before we meet louis, let's have a listen to one of his other tracks ‘perseverance and motions.‘ defeating the void is the motion. my brain is exploding. the change, like i was evolving. not looking for problems, ways to resolve them. i‘m on a new chapter, not the old one. i let my feet get out, i can‘t hold them.

i was left in the ring, for a number of days, doubled back, and i‘m feeling so so soulful. i‘m back and i‘m feeling so humble. i‘ve got a track, got mad beats, and some locals. be careful on the approach, i‘ve got so much to show you. i know that i‘m fooling, ifeel like i‘m drifting. i know that i‘m breathing, i feel existence. and louisj walker is here with me now. when i look at that performance, energy, confidence, you‘ve definitely got something to say. where did it start? how did your journey start? early music that i listened to was pink floyd, the shadows, stuff my parents played a lot around the house. vivid memories of you to, and that got me into music. as i got a bit older i started searching for music myself, i got into the hip—hop side of

things and discovered uk music. i became a big fan of artists that i could name and have inspired me. what a cool would you pick? your michael devlin. the liverpool content, that‘s when i got a lot of my information from. people's lives, art is‘s lives, often inform their art is‘s lives, often inform their art or music. what is it about your background that you would alert people to, which would shed some light, if you like, i knew was an artist? i‘m just a genuine person. i mean, there is no real... i don‘t have false bravado, or a ego that i put on. i‘m just myself. false bravado, or a ego that i put on. i'mjust myself. that false bravado, or a ego that i put on. i'm just myself. that certainly comes through. what about the issue of overcoming problems, battles with life, that lots of people have. and,

actually, the kind of music that you are, the words you are writing could be cited for other people trying to come to terms with their own issues. that is where the lyrics come home to play. they hit home with a lot of people. a lot of the stuff i‘ve written and produced, people have contacted me and said, that a certain song has helped them with a problem in their lives. that‘s where lyrics to chest. if you are honest and direct, you can get so much across. if somebody said to you, 0k, what are your issues? what your a nswer what are your issues? what your answer be? i went to the way lot of issues in my young teens, being kicked out of school, fighting, neither of which i‘m proud of, i‘m just saying. going into music, and sort of realising that i needed to, perhaps, change my outlook. think of a more positive mindset to help people. i‘ve got a lot of close

friends who suffer with depression and anxiety. friends of friends who have taken their own lives. and, you know, it‘s something that we can connect with the music. it's a very powerful thing. i‘m just connect with the music. it's a very powerfulthing. i‘mjust thinking, 0k, in the way that you construct your performance, what is it that your performance, what is it that you think helps people? what are you giving people? what is it about life they can do in a better way?|j giving people? what is it about life they can do in a better way? i do describe life through my songs, as being a struggle, but there is a lwa ys being a struggle, but there is always that glimpse of light in any situation. from the worst situation to not being so bad. you can always shed light on that certain aspects. you can get positivity from it and move on. in terms of your own development, how has that changed from when you started? are you a

different performer today? can you see that changing radically in the future? ya muggle going back to my first live gig about three years ago now, at the time i was very nervous. inside the venue i was out of breath, trying to figure out what to do next. now it feels very controlled. i feel like i‘m do next. now it feels very controlled. ifeel like i‘m in control. how do you approach those kind of events, like festivals? weibring as much of me to the table asi weibring as much of me to the table as i can. i give them do something unique. they could be up to 200 artists. they only remember a handful. i got to make them remember me. your fan base, your constituency, if you like, how do you describe it? what other kinds of people latching onto your music and work? anything from 13 to 16—year—olds. that‘s a broad spectrum. —— 60—year—olds. it goes

to show that my style, my genre, even though it is wrapping its not intimidating as rap music can be. it is lighter and more emotional. that connects with many people. when we saw the clip there, lots of work goes into that. lots of work goes into it to make it seem relaxed and confident, how do you approach learning ahead of your performances, the way you put your work across? it's the way you put your work across? it‘s a massive process. there‘s so much more to being an artist than just music, there is social media, there live performances, there‘s so much you‘ve got to fit in. and i started off very minimal, and worked my way up. ijust do started off very minimal, and worked my way up. i just do what started off very minimal, and worked my way up. ijust do what i‘m co mforta ble my way up. ijust do what i‘m comfortable with. is this where you thought you would be, or has it surprised you? i'm not particularly

surprise, i‘m proud of where i am, but i‘m also proud of myself because i‘ve worked hard for this. i‘ve put a lot of effort and time into this. this is a ridiculous question, in five years‘ time, if we are satya, really openly, where would you like to be? way which alleged to be performing? it's quite a while away. i‘m looking towards the big festivals, glastonbury, something like that, producing new albums, england and a record label, perhaps. what is daylight about? it's four tracks, and each track tells a small story. and in that ep, that package, what i am offering is some help

towards mental health, there are some really interesting songs in there. it starts with a track called lost and ends with a track called found. it‘s a smalljourney. lost and ends with a track called found. it's a smalljourney.” lost and ends with a track called found. it's a smalljourney. i wish you well with it, thank you for coming in and good luck. thank you very much. some news coming up in just a while, sophie will have the bbc news at six with all the day‘s news including the report on migration figures, and i‘ll be back with all the day‘s news again, so from louis and me, thank you for watching, i‘ll see you later. post brexit britain — who should be allowed in to work here once the uk has left

the european union? the government‘s advisers say eu nationals shouldn‘t be given special treatment in future and highly skilled workers from around the world should be allowed in more easily. the impacts of migration depend on things like the skill of the migrants, but not fundamentally on their nationality, and so we don‘t think there should be a preference for eu citizens over non—eu citizens. we‘ll be asking if the government will take the advice on board. also on the programme tonight. the reservists who died during an sas march in the brecon beacons — two officers in charge of safety are found not guilty of negligence. a bus driver in his 70s who lost control of his vehicle in coventry did cause the deaths of two people by dangerous driving says a jury. tit—for—tat — the trade war intensfies between america and china after the us slaps more import taxes on chinese goods and
