tonight at ten: theresa may in salzburg trying to make the case for her brexit deal to fellow eu leaders. despite long—standing obstacles on trade and the irish border, the prime minister struck a hopeful note on her way in. just as the uk has evolved its position, the eu will need to evolve its position too. but i'm confident with good will and determination we can agree a deal that's right for both parties. but among other eu leaders there a determination to get the uk to look again at some of mrs may's plan. on issues, such as the irish question or the framework for the economic operation, the uk's proposals will need to be reworked. and the president of the european commission, jean—claude juncker, said this evening that a brexit deal was still "far away". also tonight: more than 100 families have now come forward to allege poor maternity care at the shrewsbury and telford nhs trust. at the westminster bridge inquests, more information emerges about the man responsible

and his movements in the days before the attack. two people have died as storm ali swept through the northern half of the uk and ireland. a day of grand ceremony as north korea agrees to close its key missile testing facility following talks with south korea. and manchester city endure a difficult evening, against lyon, in their first champions league tie of the season. and coming up on sportsday on bbc news — australia get their revenge against the commonwealth champions, england. they're beaten in the quad series. good evening.

a brexit deal is still "far away" according to jean—claude juncker, president of the european commission. he was speaking at the eu summit taking place in austria, where theresa may has this evening been presenting her case for a deal based on the plans drawn up by the cabinet at chequers earlier this summer. officials say that there remain serious differences over trade and the future of the irish border. mrs may said tonight that the eu needed to show readiness to compromise, as britain had. our political editor laura kuenssberg has the latest. stuck, looking for a way out. the prime minister and other leaders have eight weeks to agree what happens to northern ireland after we leave. her plan says... it is the only credible and negotiable plan on

the table that delivers no hard border in northern ireland and also delivers on the vote of the british people. but what we cannot accept is seeing northern ireland carved away from the united kingdom customs territory. but the eu club's plan is very different. they say northern ireland might have to follow eu rules if the big brexit deal cannot be done. i don't think we are any closer to the withdrawal agreements than we were in march. sol closer to the withdrawal agreements than we were in march. so i can't report any progress at this stage unfortunately, but we will keep on working on it. what if the eu doesn't budge? then united kingdom will have to. the so-called chequers deal, they don't like how parts of oui’ deal, they don't like how parts of our economy would stay closely tied to the eu to disrupt against disruption and then going back to an

old—fashioned border in ireland like those of years ago. these talks were a lwa ys those of years ago. these talks were always going to be complicated, but at summit, after summit, the biggest obstacle always becomes what happens 1000 miles away from here. when we leave the european union, the border between northern ireland and the rest of the island will become the line between europe's huge trading clu b line between europe's huge trading club and another country, the uk on the outside. the two sides in the talks have different ideas over how to handle the change. and despite lots of chatter about two weeks from the eu negotiator, or talks at home, there's no question, the tussle over there's no question, the tussle over the irish border is a very real block on progress. prime minister may's proposals from chequers indicate a positive evolution in the uk's indicate a positive evolution in the uk's approach as well as a will to

minimise the negative effects of brexit. 0n minimise the negative effects of brexit. on other issues, the uk's proposals will need to be reworked and further negotiator. today, there is perhaps more hope, but there is surely less and less time. the prime minister hopes that by asking her peers directly, they will budge. they believe in time she will realise she has to move, but with a time set for deal day, something or someone time set for deal day, something or someone will have to give. laura kuennsburg, bbc news, salzburg. 0ur europe editor katya adler is in salzburg. what kind of reception is this getting? we did hear from donald tusk, he said he is a host of the summitand the tusk, he said he is a host of the summit and the leader of the european council and he said we are ina european council and he said we are in a decisive phase of brexit

negotiations. he is absolutely right because under eu law, at the time allowed for a member state who wants to leave and negotiate its departure is running out. the leaders here wa nt to is running out. the leaders here want to hear from theresa may, what arguments she can have. she is speaking to them for ten minutes tonight and it is what we are witnessing now, as the backs are firmly going against the wall, is a game of chicken. with each side convinced the other is going to back down first. eu leaders tonight believe they hold all the cards. but theresa may has big cards to play and she is waving it at this summit as well and that is the threat of a no deal. she said on the big sticking points, the irish border and the relationships after brexit between the eu and the uk, you have to come towards me or there will be no deal at all this autumn. she said the eu wants a deal because no deal scenario would be expensive and

chaotic for eu businesses as well as the uk's. but as this brexit plot thickens, what i'm hearing tonight, her peers are willing to call the prime minister's blur. many thanks. —— bluff. a review into deaths and injuries to mothers and babies at shrewsbury and telford nhs trust, is now looking at more than 100 cases. the bbc has learned that tens more families have come forward in the past month, saying mistakes made by maternity staff led to babies dying unnecessarily or suffering life—changing injuries, between 2000 and 2017. and regulators have today raised serious concerns about the trust's current maternity services. 0ur social affairs correspondent michael buchanan has the story. two children born one year apart. two children born one year apart. two toddlers now finding their way in the world. two people whose pa rents fear in the world. two people whose parents fear might have been affected by maternity errors. this

little boy will soon turn three. he doesn't communicate, he doesn't talk, he doesn't walk. when his mother tracey was 28 weeks pregnant, a scan revealed a problem with his skull. but despite the long concerned, staff encouraged her to have a natural birth. it didn't work and she needed an emergency ca esa rea n. and she needed an emergency caesarean. experts have repaired his skull and insist it's not the cause of his delayed development. why did you let me try in natural birth when you let me try in natural birth when you knew there was something wrong with his head 7 you knew there was something wrong with his head? eid have been a com pletely with his head? eid have been a completely different story. but they took the risk and i feel that he is now to suffer. sophia lily will turn two. she was born prematurely at 27 weeks and needed support to breathe, as this video shows. a mistake was

made during a routine procedure to drain her chest. sophia lily needed to be resuscitated and the trust failed to tell her parents about the incident for days. so her parents wonder if her delayed development is due to being born early or medical errors. she might not be here now, if he hadn't put up such a fight. but we still don't know. we don't know the damage that could have been caused because there was no note saying her brain was starved of oxyge n saying her brain was starved of oxygen for, no notes of anything. the trust wouldn't comment on either family but we have learnt 104 cases are now the subject of an independent review into maternity services here. scores of families, alleging their child died or suffered harm due to mistakes. not every family will have been failed by this trust, but it is sadly the case that some babies died for reasons that are need a predictable

nor preventable. but the sheer number of people coming forward suggests that for years, scores of families have been unhappy with the ca re families have been unhappy with the care they received here. in a statement, the trust said... but the problems aren't simply historical. today, the cqc raise concerns about the current maternity service. for those families who have long suspected the trust made mistakes, it is little comfort that maternity problems persist. michael, tell us more about the services? we cannot say too much because of legal

reasons, but 12 women say they have high—risk pregnancies and the trust is cooperating with the regulator. this urgent action by the regulator shows that concerns about maternity at this particular trust continue and that is the reason for a number of women, pregnant women in shropshire to have even more concerns about this particular trust, point out that the services are safe. michael buchanan, thank you very much. an inquest into the westminster bridge attack has heard how khalid masood told his children he was going to die fighting for god. the 52—year—old was shot dead after driving into pedestrians on the bridge and fatally stabbing a police officer. five people were killed in the attack in march 2017. today, cctv images of his final movements before the attack were made public for the first time, as daniel sandford reports from the old bailey. khalid masood on the night before his attack on westminster bridge, buying his last evening meal

at a fish and chip shop in brighton. he'd been known as a violent man in his 20s and 30s and had been arrested for shoplifting at just 14. but he'd been more settled since converting to islam in prison. that was about to end. his first preparations had been in a birmingham tesco, 13 days before the attack. here, he bought the two large sabatier carving knives with which he stabbed pc keith palmer to death. a week later, at enterprise car hire, he rented his other weapon, the high hyundai 4x4 which he used to kill four pedestrians on the bridge. the inquest heard that in the months before the attack, khalid masood, had told his youngest children, "i'm going to die fighting for god". five days before, he'd gone to wales to see his mother and as he left he looked over his shoulder and said, "they will say i am a terrorist, i'm not". the next day, he did what police believe was a reconnaissance trip

over westminster bridge, driving in the roadway where four days later, he would drive up the pavement, hitting tourists at speed. he spent the next four nights at hotels in brighton and here at cobham services on the m25, laughing and joking with the receptionist, but watching videos by so—called islamic state in his room. 0n the morning of the attack, he did a second reconnaissance run on the bridge. the attack itself that afternoon took 82 seconds. he killed two londoners, two tourists and a police officer who was guarding the house of commons. daniel sandford, bbc news, at the old bailey. two people have died after storm ali swept across ireland and parts of the uk with winds gusting to over 90 miles an hour. a woman died after a caravan was blown off a cliff, and a man in his 20s has been killed by a falling tree. scotland and the north—east of england have also been affected, with disruptions to transport and electricity as our correspondent emma vardy reports.

a casualty of the extreme weather which lashed the west coast of ireland. early this morning, police received reports of a caravan blown onto a beach in county galway. the body of a woman in her 50s was recovered, believed to be a tourist visiting from switzerland who'd been asleep inside. as the storm ravaged northern ireland, a near miss for this driver in lisburn, just south of belfast. the treacherous conditions, forcing more quick thinking, this time from a ryanair pilot, just metres from the runway, aborting a landing at dublin. and obliteration of a hospitality tent in scotland at st andrews, hampering preparations for next month's european tour golf event. powerful winds wrenched a cruise ship from its moorings at greenock port in inverclyde. the nautica to be secured at sea by tugs. and a major incident was declared in dumfries and galloway,

after people were injured by flying debris. the danger became ever more apparent. a man was killed by a falling tree, and another injured in county armagh, as northern ireland recorded its strongest ever winds in september. more than 2000 homes and businesses lost power, as branches fell on houses and cars. i heard a thud over the back of my roof which i was a bit worried about. but it was smaller type branches. it was only about five minutes later i went out to the front and i noticed all the big branches down. dozens of routes around belfast were closed as debris blocked the way. there's two large trees that have come down across this road, taking the power lines with them, and there's now teams working on site here and across the country to clear up some of the damage that storm ali has caused. we're still experiencing extreme gusts of winds and more problems are occurring.

we definitely do at this stage expect to be working through the night and into tomorrow and having customers off supply into tomorrow at least. tonight, many homes are still without power. but with the worst of the storm and are believed to have passed, the clearer operation is well under way. emma vardy, bbc news. the rate of inflation increased again last month, it was up to 2.7% in august, from 2.5% in july. the rise is partly due to higher fuel and travel costs. the government's target is 2%, as our economics correspondent andrew verity reports. this leicester based food supplier makes its spring rolls, samosas and otherfrozen indian snacks by hand, but that means big labour costs, and it's also being squeezed by the energy prices. the raw material, like peas, carrot, that is less of a big pressure. electricity, just this time last year the price has gone up 20%. because we use electricity

quite a lot because it's a frozen food business, that's something that's impacting us a lot. and the wages as well. that's increasing over time. but wages aren't rising fast enough for many workers to feel 0bviously better off. yeah, i think it's going up, prices are going up, yeah. so it's a bit difficult. i feel sometimes i feel very bad, everybody can't afford to buy all things. earlier this year we had some good economic news. the squeeze on living standards had lifted. pay was finally rising faster than prices. meaning you could buy more what you were paid. that's still happening, but with inflation at 2.7%, onlyjust. in the year to august gas bills rose by 4.3%. electricity was up 7.4%, and petrol jumped by 11.7%. there is still a lingering effect from the fall in the pound after the brexit referendum, and we see that in terms of very high imported prices,

so import price inflation is still around about 10% per annum. it's been hinted the government may raise fuel duty in the next budget. again, pushing up the price of petrol. 0n the markets they are betting the bank of england will have to head off further inflation, with another rise in interest rates by may next year. andy verity, bbc news. police investigating the suspected poisoning at a restaurant in salisbury on sunday which led to a major medical response are likely to examine whether the incident was a hoax. 0ur correspondent tom symonds is in salisbury tonight. yes, this street was cordoned off when a couple, alex king and anna shapiro, appeared to have been taken very seriously ill. she is russian, which led to concerns among diners nearby, and he spent a few days in hospital. we understand the tests found no evidence of any poisoning.

despite that, anna shapiro gave an interview to a newspaper in which she said she had been poisoned on the orders of vladimir putin. police are investigating, and sources say the possibility this was a hoax is a likely line of inquiry. we have also found out that alex king was involved in a widely publicised incident in 2006, when he talked his way onto a reception line at a film premiere and ended up shaking the hand of the prince of wales. he said he did it for a bet. there is going to bea he did it for a bet. there is going to be a police investigation, after all salisbury is trying to put the novichok poisonings behind it, and this didn't help. . the united states says it's ready to re—start talks with north korea over its nuclear weapons programme following commitments made by its leader, kimjong—un. at a summit in pyongyang, mr kim promised his south korean counterpart he'd permanently close a missile launch facility

overseen by international experts. 0ur correspondent laura bicker reports from seoul. pyongyang's games are meant to awe and inspire. usually, it's because of their elaborate routines. but tonight, a special guest from the south earned the applause. president moonjae—in, the son of north korean refugees, has spent decades dreaming of this moment. translation: we have lived together for 5000 years and been separated for seven years. i propose that we should completely end the past 70 years of hostility and take a big stride of peace, to become one again. cheering and applause. the visit has brought

a bit of a breakthrough. north korea has agreed to let experts watch a missile launch site being dismantled. mr kim said he would do more if the us also made concessions. translation: we have agreed to make the korean peninsula a land of peace that is free from nuclear weapons and nuclear threats. but the deal doesn't go as far as the us had hoped. it doesn't mention the north's current nuclear arsenal, or if they'll even stop building weapons. but he may have done enough to persuade president trump to offer this peninsula a peace deal. "we'll meet again", sing the north koreans to this leader from the south. kim jong—un has said he'll visit seoul later this year, another first. this careful choreography has been designed to dazzle their visitor. he can only hope this show of warmth is not a smoke screen to hide

the north's nuclear ambitions. laura bicker, bbc news, seoul. in six months' time, britain will leave the european union. this week across bbc news we're looking at some of the questions being asked about brexit and what it means. tonight, our business editor simonjack looks at what could happen to businesses that buy and sell goods outside the uk. will we be richer or poorer? will it definitely happen? why haven't we left yet? how will trade work after brexit? trade in action at the port of felixstowe. when we talk about trade, we simply mean the amount we buy from and sell to the rest of the world. how will it be affected by brexit? well, to get an idea of where we're headed, it's worth taking a look at where we are now. ok, let's have a closer look.

the uk sold £616 billion worth of goods and services to the rest of the world last year. of that, we sold 44% of them to the eu. now, we imported or bought £642 billion worth of stuff from the rest of the world and, of that, we bought 53% of it from the eu. so does that mean that they need us more than we need them? not really, because the eu, of course, is much bigger than the uk. of the eu's total exports, the uk made upjust 8%. so what happens next after brexit? well, this is the tricky bit. lots of options, lots of acronyms — eea, fta, wto. now, you can disappear down alleyways of complexity with all these different permutations, but the basic principle is this. the closer we stay to the eu, its market, its rules, its regulations, the easier and cheaper it is to trade with the eu, but the harder it is to make new trade deals with some of the fastest—growing economies around the world.

now, the government's preferred position, the so—called chequers deal, tries to tread a middle ground between all of that. they want no tariffs on goods, close cooperation on services, close alignment on rules, no free movement of people but, importantly, freedom to make our own trade deals. or we could just leave with no deal at all. clean break, fall back on world trade organisation rules. you're then talking big tariffs on things like cars and meat. and this is the one that businesses fear. they think it would be the most disruptive and the most expensive. now, a lot of people say it's impossible to forecast what's going to happen in 15 years' time and that's probably right. so let's forget about the numbers and consider this, some say. the uk already exports £100 billion worth of stuff to the us every year. there is no trade deal there. germany exports four times more than the uk does to china every year and manages to do that from within the eu.

so do you need to leave the eu to do more trade with the rest of the world? this kind of crystal ball gazing is difficult. the government and other forecasters don't have a brilliant track record. but one thing seems widely accepted and intuitively right, and that is if you make trade with your nearest and biggest market more cumbersome and more expensive, that's got to result in an economic hit, at least in the short term. it may be decades before we really know whether leaving the european union was good or not for uk trade. simonjack there, and we'll carry on looking at other key brexit questions throughout this week and you can watch the series so far on the bbc iplayer, just click on the news category. a look at some of today's other stories... three men have been hurt after a car struck several people outside a north

london islamic centre. witnesses described hearing the driver shouting anti—islamic taunts at the muslim prayer centre in cricklewood. the met police said the incident is being dealt with as an islamophobic hate crime, but is not thought to be terror—related. an inquest has heard how a boy with a severe dairy allergy died after he was chased by a schoolmate who threw cheese down his t—shirt. karanbir cheema suffered a serious allergic reaction and went into anaphylactic shock at his west london school in june last year. another boy, who was 13 at the time, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder but has not been charged. tesco has unveiled a new brand of discount store, called jack's, which it hopes will compete with the likes of rival budget brands aldi and lidl. the new stores will have a smaller range of products than tesco, and a simplified design. the launch comes at a time when tesco is being squeezed by a possible merger between giants sainsbury‘s and asda. theresa may has announced

plans to make an extra £2 billion available to build more affordable and social housing in england. councils, housing associations and other bodies can bid for the money for new projects, from 2022. but local government leaders say it's not enough to deal with the shortage of homes. our business correspondent colletta smith has spent the day with residents of the 0ulton estate in leeds. we love the area. kids have always been safe here. you know, it's like, "oh, you live on an estate?" you know, it could be a run—down estate, it could be... theyjust think of people as being rough, and maybe not working. not... people that don't have jobs. whereas most of the people on this estate are working. some are retired. they're just in low paid jobs, so they can't afford to buy a house. more cash for social housing is something we've not heard for a long time. many people in society,

including many politicians, continue to look down on social housing and, by extension, the people who call it their home. so, today is a big change of tack from the government. an extra £2 billion for new social housing over the next ten years. but cindy and her neighbours are facing eviction at the moment, so they'd be added to the long list of people needing a home. there are so many people, we believe, on council housing, social housing lists now, then is this going to be enough? in the east of the city, some of these 500 houses at the seacroft hospital sites have already been handed over to social housing tenants. there is such a high demand on council waiting lists, on the choice—based letting systems for any local authority in yorkshire — and indeed nationally. so, the faster we can provide those homes, it's absolutely what we're about as a partnership developer and we really welcome this money.

loads of people rent from a housing association or a local authority. in fact, 9 million people are in social housing at the moment. that's17% of homes in england. the trouble is, there's a big waiting list too. more than1 million people are waiting for some kind of social housing at the moment. today's money may encourage more social housing developments. but it won't be enough to cover the whole shortfall. colletta smith, bbc news. the television presenter and veteran comedy writer denis norden has died at the age of 96. some people claim there are no mistakes, only learning experiences. the highlight of his 60—year television career was hosting the itv out—take show it'll be all right on the night. becoming known as the king of bloopers, he presented it until his retirement in 2006. football and there have been contrasting fortunes

for manchester city and manchester united in their opening matches of this year's champions league. city fell to a 2—1 loss at home to lyon, while united won 3—0 away at swiss champions young boys. andy swiss was watching the play. they emerged as favourites for the champions league, but for how long? with manager pep guardiola serving a touchline ban in the stands, manchester city seemed devoid of direction. a stuttering start, some calamitous defending and visitors lyon were ahead. cornet with the celebrations, the hosts with an early headache. it soon got even worse. fekir, seemingly ushered through the manchester city defence. lyon two up at the break. the body language needed little translation.
