this coffee factory in birmingham. shelling why it is alive and well. —— showing. celtic leave it late for their first european group stage win in four years, on a good night for british clubs in the europa league. very good morning. it's friday the 21st of september. our top story: a senior cabinet minister has warned that britain is heading for a no—deal brexit unless the eu softens its position on the issue of the irish border. the transport secretary chris grayling says it's impossible for the government to agree to northern ireland having customs rules that are different to the rest of the uk. yesterday at the end of the salzburg summit, theresa may's chequers plan was rejected by eu leaders. but she insists it's the only credible option. here's our political correspondent chris mason. it was hoped there would be some harmony at this meeting in salzburg, the setting for the sound of music.

instead, eu leaders gave theresa may's brexit plan a bit of a kicking. everybody shared the view that while there are positive elements in the chequers proposal, the suggested framework for economic co—operation will not work. the suggested framework for economic co-operation will not work. but the prime minister did not back down, standing by her brexit blueprint. seemingly angry at how things went. yes, concerns have been raised. i wa nt to yes, concerns have been raised. i want to know what those concerns are. there is a lot of hard work to be done, but i believe that there is a willingness to do a deal. let nobody be in any doubt that as i have always said, we are preparing for no deal. so, two rather different song sheet on eu leaders as the talks reach a crucial stage. roadside say they do want a deal, but there is still stuff they can't agree on, not least how to avoid a ha rd agree on, not least how to avoid a hard irish border. at the moment

with the european union is asking is simply impossible for any uk government to accept. if they stick to that position there will be no deal because no uk government, certainly not this one of the labour party said the same, could possibly accept any kind of order in the irish sea. critics at home who do not like the prime minister's plan are saying i told you so. the former brexit secretary david davis told the huffington post there is a rocksolid core of about 30 or a0 conservative mps prepared to vote against it. theresa may might have wa nted against it. theresa may might have wanted helpful mood music to take home, instead the noise left ringing in her ears is not quite so tune. —— tuneful. so what happens now? and chris is with us now. so many twists and turns and months, how significant is this moment? pretty significant. if we look at

the last couple of years about brexit, beside that people like me warble on the telly, there has only been a handful of really big moment and this could turn out to be one of them. the prime minister had gone into this summit not expecting necessarily a massive breakthrough, but certainly a shower of warm words from european leaders and is that it was a bucket of goodness knows what. it means that this plan that she has got, this chequers plan, being quite close in the trade of goods by going oui’ close in the trade of goods by going our own way in the services, is pretty friendless. not entirely friendless, but not much of an exaggeration because we know there are loads of it conservative mps who do not like it. we now know definitively that the eu doesn't like it and they cannot find a solution on this issue of the irish border. they have not found one for months, so can they found —— find one ina months, so can they found —— find one in a matter of weeks?” months, so can they found —— find one in a matter of weeks? i know you appear throughout the programme, and

the front pages of the newspapers do too. if you are responsible for the newspapers, send them to number nine oi’ newspapers, send them to number nine or number", newspapers, send them to number nine or number 11, because it is pretty painful stuff. the prime minister has staked her authority on the idea of the chequers plan and it is not looking good. the really good thing is that you are here with us today and you will be back later with more details. thank you. chris mason, back with us throughout the morning. it is five past six. at least a0 people have died after a ferry carrying hundreds this is the heroic moment that a passerby rescued an elderly lady from a flooded car. this man waited to the water to get to the driver after she became trapped. is expected the storm will create delays through the morning due to possibility of flooding and trees. -- it is. possibility of flooding and trees. —— it is. will have a forecast to tell us what areas should be of most

concern. —— we will. at least a0 people have died after a ferry carrying hundreds of people capsized on lake victoria in tanzania. officials have said the ferry was carrying more than a00 passengers. it is thought the overloaded vessel toppled over when crowds on board moved to one side as it docked. security concerns have been raised about the imminent release from prison of the radical preacher anjem choudary and other followers of a banned extremist group. choudary was jailed for five and a half years in 2016 for his support of the so—called islamic state. a former member of al—muhajiroun has told the bbc choudary‘s release comes at the same time as the threat of far right extremism is growing which could create a potentially "disastrous cocktail." the metropolitan police has admitted for the first time that an undercover officer had a sexual relationship with an environmental activist with the knowledge of his bosses. 0fficer mark kennedy posed as mark stone and had a two year

relationship with kate wilson. legal documents seen by the bbc show that his bosses knew about the relationship and allowed it to continue. scotland yard said it would be inappropriate to comment because of ongoing legal action. a third of drivers say they have become more dependent on their cars over the last year because of failing public transport. that's according to a survey by the rac. they found that attitudes to public transport and changing lifestyle are behind the trend, despite fuel prices being at a four year high. wolf alice are this year's mercury prize winners. the indie bands album ‘visions of a life' beat the likes of noel gallagher, arctic monkeys and lily allen. here's our arts & entertainment correspondent colin paterson.

indie band wolf alice, winners of the mercury prize for their second album, ‘visions of a life'. the judges said it combined the epic and intimate in equal measure and were visibly shocked by the result. thank you so much! this was the second time they had made the mercury shortlist, but their first win. time they had made the mercury shortlist, but theirfirst win. in fa ct, shortlist, but theirfirst win. in fact, no female fronted at had trounced since pj harvey seven years ago. immediately after they came off stage, they told me why it meant so much to them. i think i have always found being in the system that being a musician, the whole industry extremely intimidating and scared about it and not knowing what i was doing, but here we are, four best friends and we still don't know what we are doing. but we are here to

assist it means everything. i don't know. identity as to that question. iamjust so know. identity as to that question. i am just so happy. not everyone was happy about the result. lily allen was seen happy about the result. lily allen was seen on camera in tears happy about the result. lily allen was seen on camera in tears and later took to social media to say. as for wolf alice, they can expect an immediate sales boost, starting their australian tour on sunday. it is not only the mercury win that is causing the world to turn upside down. colin paterson, bbc news. call triple nine, i have been robbed. normally it is fixed grins. that is, it yeah. if you're not up to date with the latest twists and turns in ‘bodyguard', you might want to press mute forjust a moment. everybody is watching it!

eight million watched last week's episode and ahead of the much anticipated climax this sunday night, the show‘s writer, jed mercurio has been addressing one of the favourite conspiracy theories as to whether home secretary, julia montague is dead, or not? as you can imagine, he's not giving much away. i'm going to say what everyone is expecting me to say, which is you will just have expecting me to say, which is you willjust have to wait. kearley and i were exchanging texts today and we are kind of enjoying the experience of winding everyone up. we are looking forward to what the reaction will be on sunday night. we have made a pact already, i don't normally stay up till 10pm but on sunday night this will be an exception. we will all stay up. laughter. i don't know why we did the spoiler alert because he didn't tell us anything. you have to be careful even this morning, somebody asked

you, did you see the last episode? i don't have any inside knowledge. we will be talking about it later and we will go some of the series. for that bit, you definitely want to switch off. sunday night is the big night. how are you? i am great. the weather is a bit soggy, didn't fancy playing football last night but it didn't cause any problems for any british teams in the europa league. full house! the champions league has been stealing the headlines but all the action is in the europa league. chelsea made it six wins in a row with victory in the europa league last night, while last year's semi finalists arsenal have started this year like they mean business. they beat ukrainian side vorskla four two at the emirates. celtic won their first european group game in four years.

leigh griffiths got the winner late on against rosenborg. for rangers, it's been eight years since they were last in european competition. they came from behind twice to draw 2—2 away in villarreal. and there's {7.5 million on the line in the fedex cup. tiger woods leads the way after the first round. we always get very excited when we see tiger woods back in action. everybody is rooting for him to do well. it is nice to see a bit of sunshine on a morning like this. were you playing hockey last night? i was back to training and it was grim, nota i was back to training and it was grim, not a good site coming back from that. well done. thanks! the reason it is pretty miserable is about storm bronagh, meaning that ensure rain, wind in some parts of the uk overnight. we felt that this

morning. what about everybody else? what a torrid night it was for some. we saw over a month worth of rain falling in a few spots. 60 millimetres of rain yesterday afternoon into the night and the strength of the wind woke a few of you up overnight, particularly across england and wales. the highest gust was on the isle of wight, fairly exposed, but elsewhere widely, 55— 65 mph wind gust. good news in forecast, the rest of storm bronagh has pushed off, giving a torrid morning across scandinavia. in going, it is opening the door to cooler air across the uk, it will feel chilly, a story of sunshine and showers too. taking a look at the radar, for the past few hours, the worst of the rain is clearing, especially to the south. we have got some persistent rain north—east of scotla nd some persistent rain north—east of scotland and it is in eastern areas we have strong as the wind. gale force across eastern england over

the next few hours. turning a little bit lighter but still blustery. a mixture of sunshine and showers and more persistent rain northern and eastern scotland. shall as most frequent in the west, some heavy with rain and under. still have a waterproof on hand. the brees of the strong enough to take a shower east. some sunshine between the showers, it went to a huge amount to the temperatures, it will be much cooler day that we have had all this week. a low of 10 degrees, in london 17 through the afternoon. chilly day, especially out that sunshine. into tonight, a few showers to continue, particularly across the north—west. the breeze eases down, clear skies and that will lead to a chilly night. temperatures almost uk wide into single figures, in rural areas, there could be a touch of frost around on the grass. a lovely sight to the weekend, especially those early, showers in northern scotland but any early brightness across the

south gives way to cloud, outbreaks of rain extending to the south—west into parts of wales into the afternoon as far as south—east england by the end of the afternoon. heaviest rain towards the south—west, but further north not a bad start, the best of the weather in the north throughout with sunny spells of. saturday into sunday, this area of rain will push off and it is down to what happens in this low pressure system. it will be developing as it works towards us, this is how we see it at the moment. the centre of the system working across england and wales, gusty wind through the english channel, heavy rain across other parts of england and wales and the wind will strengthen. it could be a wide into the days. —— wailed and the days. scotla nd the days. —— wailed and the days. scotland throughout should be dry, the brightest with a further north but still not especially warm. but at least, for now, the worst of storm bronagh is out of the way. thank you, matt. thank you very much indeed. let's take a look at today's papers.

tons of politics reacting to the brexit talks yesterday. the daily telegraph says french president emmanuel macron has warned britain it must climb down further if it wants a deal. a striking front page dedicated to the quote from the french president. the times reports that the ministry of defence and gchq is setting up an offensive cyber—force to tackle hostile states, terrorist groups and domestic gangs. the pm has warned she is ready to walk away from the eu without a deal, the daily mail says. the paper reports mrs may was visibly furious at a press conference in salzburg after her meeting with eu leaders. we should say also meghan markle is in lots of the papers this morning with her mum. take your mum to work day! yes. the guardian says mrs may was humiliated by the eu's decision. like many of the papers, the guardian have a striking photograph of a mrs may wearing her red jacket among dark suit—wearing eu leaders. some striking images, aren't they?

and what plastic you can and can't recycle is one of the top most—read stories on the bbc news website. new research from the bbc has discovered there are 39 different sets of rules for what can be put in plastic recycling collections. we'll have more on this story later in the programme. david shukman will explain more. it is usually confusing. there's also figures on how many arguments people have at home. no, you're wrong, this goesin have at home. no, you're wrong, this goes in that one. we've got 39 different bins in the kitchen to put your bottles and things. really confusing. let's take a look at today's papers. let's have a look at the b word. recycling rules are more complicated than brexit! picking up on the front—page pictures you've spotted a moment ago. the front page of the daily mirror this morning, which is the iconic image of the brexit

talks. partly because theresa may is a woman and is dressed in a red suit and all the blokes are in great and wearing blue suits, but obviously because it speaks to the imagery of it being 27 against one —— are in great great. the times, it paints a picture of the reality of our eu departure. the so—called family photo. theresa may is at the back. if she went to the right a couple of steps she would be gone from the picture, which is potentially the reality in seven months. watching that first photo you showed of her looking one way and then the other, on the internet, when the picture was taken, on social media yesterday, even the analysis divides some people. some saying this is her strong as the others look the other way, others say she is being ignored as the others walked past. there's beatrix at these summits because both sides want to be seen to be

driving a hard bargain because if there's a deal at the end both said they pushed for what they could get and it was worth going down to the wire. even the photos can be subject to disputed analysis. holly? the back page is dominated by the europa league, as expected, but inside the times, an interesting article about the best way to survive as a manager and it seems it is to manage the clu b and it seems it is to manage the club used to play for. it has done some research, 31 of the 92 managers in the four english divisions have someone as in the four english divisions have someone as their manager who used to play for the club. in recent years, the premier league seems to lose their manager very quickly, just a couple of defeats and people are talking about him being out, he's got to go. but they say they tend to stick with them longer if they used to play for them, as if there's more loyalty. the fans have a connection. interesting. we've talked about this

on breakfast. this has been going on for three years. for three years the killer ploughed the home counties... cats being found dead, there was concern that it was the croydon cat killer. hundreds of cats. absolutely, really brutal, 1500 incidents. really brutal killings. anyway, scotland yard revealed yesterday that the killings were actually not the responsibility of a human killer, instead detectives have concluded they could be attributed to either cars or foxes. i tell you what, on a morning where we're talking about horrible weather, and you're a bit salty, i will remind you of the lovely summer we had. we're living with the consequences. british wine, english wine, fantastic this year. the greats have been picked three weeks early if they haven't been too wet over the last couple of days and we have a bumper harvest. what is that

from? the sun we had before. not recently. the immediate effect of two days' rain. it is the sunshine! you can relax and remember! we mentioned this a moment ago... can you put plastic bottles and yoghurt pots in the same recycling bin? the answer probably depends on where you live. there's a plastic postcode lottery going on. the bbc has found that confusion reigns for almost half of homes when it comes to recycling. now the government wants to see how domestic recycling rates can be increased. here's our science editor, david shukman. in swansea, in south wales, pink bags are for plastic recycling. all over the country, different councils recycle plastic in different ways. in north 0xfordshire, plastic goes into blue bins, along with all the other recycling, to be sorted later. in waltham forest in east london, black boxes are for plastic, and each council has its own rules about which kinds of plastic it will take.

confused credit well, sue raymond lives near bracknell in berkshire, and like many, she isn't clear what to do. i don't know if i can and like many, she isn't clear what to do. i don't know if! can put that in the bin and whether it will get discarded the other end or whether it will be recycled. you assume you can or can't?|j whether it will be recycled. you assume you can or can't? i will put it in. you assume it will be ok? i will try and put it in my recycling bin rather than put it in my rubbish. to help sue with her plastic we take her to the local recycling centre in reading for a look behind—the—scenes. centre manager adrian clarke will be her guide. that will be made into food trays again. here bottles, yoghurt pots and food cartons are all accepted. staff check everything is being sorted correctly. soon learns that if she gets things slightly wrong, the system can handle it. they seem quite tolerant with the amount of plastics that can go into the recycling bin and they can do things with edin. i think on doing

the right thing by plugging it in. if i'm in any doubt, put it in. but other councils aren't so relaxed. 0thers other councils aren't so relaxed. others want the most valuable player sticks, the bottles, which can fetch several 100 pounds a ton. that's why in greater manchester officials are out telling councillors only to recycle bottles, not to bother with other types of plastic. we only want plastic bottles, other types of plastic bottles, other types of plastic we want in the general waste bin. it's true lots of residents thing they're doing the right thing because it's plastic and it must be the same, but it's not. it's complicated, i understand that.l few councils don't recycle any plastic at all. some accept as many as 15 different types of plastic. around the country, we work down there are as many 39 different recycling plastic schemes. so there's a lot of confusion and perhaps it's not surprising that our opinion poll has found as many as

a796 opinion poll has found as many as a7% of people admit to having a disagreement in the household over whether a particular household item kambiri cycled. amid all the confusion, the government wants to boost plastic recycling, maybe with better labels or having different rules across the country. will find out later this year. —— we'll find out later this year. —— we'll find out later this year. —— we'll find out later this year. david shukman, bbc news. david shukman, bbc news. and if you want to find out what plastic your council iam recycles, visit bbc. co. uk/news. looking on it, it is great. you can put your postcode on it and it tells you what you can put in your bin. you can check it but i still don't get it. i thought they didn't take any of the black plastic anywhere but 20% of councils do that. shall we go on now? get in touch! we will be speaking to the facebook head of global safety. lots to talk about, including fake news, intimidation, whether the web is a safe s pa ce. intimidation, whether the web is a safe space. if you have a question for them, please get in touch.

e—mail us. she is head of global safety, so let's keep the issue about safety as well. do you fancy a coffee ? about safety as well. do you fancy a coffee? i've got one i'm waiting to drink. we will have loads this morning if we needed because ben is talking manufacturing in birmingham ata talking manufacturing in birmingham at a coffee machine factory and he joins us now. got one! good morning. —— he's got one. we i hear talking about manufacturing, my dream job. the organisation that represents manufacturers in britain did a study and asked where we think the uk is when it comes to global manufacturing. most thought we ranked around 56th, we are actually in ninth. so why don't we celebrate manufacturing in this country a bit more? it is one of our biggest exports, it accounts for a5% of everything we sell around the world, and it is things we make in britain.

the made in britain brand is doing really well. this place makes coffee machines, coffee makers. its sells around 5000 every year around the world. so much so they had to invent an italian sounding name to sell these things to the italians —— it sells. a real success story, around 70 staff are employed here. through the morning we will look at why manufacturing in this country has a bit of a bad name, why it is such a huge success story. we'll also talk about why most people don't see it asa about why most people don't see it as a career option when they leave school, college or university. i've got my coffee, we will show you around later. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. we will see you soon. good morning from bbc london news. i'm alice 0ldfield. flats are the fastest—growing type

and conspiracy theories with a former met detective. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. a senior cabinet minister has warned that britain is heading for a no—deal brexit unless the eu softens its position on the issue of the irish border. the transport secretary chris grayling says it's impossible for the government to agree to northern ireland having customs rules that are different to the rest of the uk. yesterday at the end of the salzburg summit, theresa may's chequers plan was rejected by eu leaders. but she insists it's the only credible option. storm bronagh is expected to bring gusts of 60 miles per hour to parts of the uk today, along with heavy rain. this is the heroic moment a passer—by rescued an elderly lady from herflooded car in yorkshire. richard hamshaw is seen wading through the water to get to the driver after she became trapped. it's expected bronagh will cause problems during the morning rush hour due to the possibility of flooding and fallen trees. at least a0 people have died

am happy to say that. —— it doesn't say that very often so i am happy to say that very often so i am happy to say that. four teams in action, not one defeat. arsenal beat ukranian visitors vorskla a—2 thanks to two goals from pierre emerick aubameyang, plus one from danny wellbeck and mesut ozil. chelsea made it six wins in a row in all competitions. willian's early goal was enough to beat paok salonika in greece. celtic left it until the final minutes to see off rosenborg. leigh griffiths nodded in the winner to give them their first group stage win in four years, and leave a drenched celtic park delirious. and rangers came from behind twice to earn a point against villareal in their first match back at this stage for eight years. kyle lafferty's goal means rangers have only lost one match under manager steven gerrard all season. the decision to lift the suspension on russia's anti—doping agency has been met with anger

from athletes around the world. russia was banned by the world anti—doping agency, after evidence of a state—sponsored doping scandal was uncovered. wada say there's strict conditions attached to their decision but many feel the russians have been allowed back too easily. uk sport were among those unhappy with the decision, tweeting that wada should explain the compromise. the legendary decathlete daley thompson asked if the anti—doping organisation had made itself redundant. and look at this from adam peaty, the olympic breaststroke champion: "how to lose respect of all clean athletes real quick.

i still feel like i have got everything to game. you know? there are stages were you think i have come this far and it has been great and you enjoy it. at the same time you think and on a minute, imagine and other phobias of this, to stay on top of your game. pressure, 100%. but then again, you get used to it so it becomes the norm. the name danny cipriani's been in the headlines recently but it isn't in the latest england squad list. the gloucester fly—half was fined for resisting arrest and common assault last month. since then he's hit form for his club but england coach eddiejones says there are better options in his position. carl ikeme might have been playing in goal for wolves at old trafford this weekend, but after successfully fighting leukaemia he had to quit the game he loves in the summer. ikeme's now been given the all—clear but when he was diagnosed back injuly 2017, his wife was nine months pregnant.

he's told us what it was like breaking the news. highly rain, ijust actually couldn't say words on the phone. she just knew something was up. —— i rang... it was tough to see her the way she was, i have seen her cry before, but never the way she was. she was so heavily pregnant as well. that interview is available on the bbc sport website. now, if you thought britain dominated the world of cycling purely on the road and the track, then think again. one of the nation's most successful athletes is five time downhill mountain bike world champion, rachel atherton who earlier this month defended her crown in switzerland. shejoins me now. good morning. you haven't come alone, you brought your bike with you. looking at the muddy there. i would like to think so!|j you. looking at the muddy there. i would like to think so! i should have cleaned it. it looks the parts.

you and your fifa world cup in ja ka rta you and your fifa world cup in jakarta this month, that is a record, has that sunk in yet? jakarta this month, that is a record, has that sunk in yewm jakarta this month, that is a record, has that sunk in yet? it is still sinking in, lots of stuff going on since we came home. waking up going on since we came home. waking up in the middle of the night smiling about it still.|j up in the middle of the night smiling about it still. i bet you do. those rainbowjerseys are in a quiet place, but an unusual place. do. those rainbowjerseys are in a quiet place, but an unusual placelj a lwa ys quiet place, but an unusual placelj always like to say i like to keep the jerseys so i always like to say i like to keep thejerseys so i can always like to say i like to keep the jerseys so i can take them out and touch them and feel them and remember that race and remember what it felt like. so i keep them in a birdcage so they are not on the wall or anything. why a birdcage? i don't know. all those years ago when i won my first title in 2008, i liked birdcage is there and it was the thing to have. i am watching these pictures in sheer terror. this was your winning run. the world championships, yeah. for a start, you are going downhill extremely quickly. how quickly? you are about

a0, 50 kilometres per hour. lots of routes and obstacles to pick your way over. and you do practice runs, do you memorise the root? how do you approach it? exactly. we do about two days of practice, a couple of hours each day and you really know the track inside out, where every route and rock is. i could run through my head every track on the world cup right now and it would the inch perfect and probably second perfect to the second we can get down the track in our heads. that visualisation is really important and you lay it all on the line on race day and hope for the best. the trouble is all of your rivals know it as well. yes, i mean, the girls, there is such a battle going on this year. another briton was really pushing the four that spot. every bodyis pushing the four that spot. every body is wanting to win. exciting doesn't begin to describe it. i ride a road bike, tell us the key

differences. it is a bicycle, so probably the only way they are similar. we have got the suspension, eight inches of suspension front and back. disc brakes, huge tyres to ta ke back. disc brakes, huge tyres to take up those rocks and routes. you wa nt to take up those rocks and routes. you want to have powerful brakes to check off a bit of speed. but it is still a bicycle, gears and lots of peddling involved as well. is a big machine. briefly, for young children out there, boys and girls thinking i wa nt out there, boys and girls thinking i want to try this. is it easy? —— it is. there. we have seen over the last five or six years, betrayal centres and bike parks, that gives people so much easy access to the sport. you can hire a bike if you don't have one, you can try out and when people try that, girls and boys are afoot and they love it. —— cooked. —— hooked. baiji give it a go. for someone like

you, to be a trailblazer in this sport. —— they should give it a go. sometimes it doesn't get the attention. yes, sometimes the sport is so exciting. you watch it and you are blown away instantly. it is a really good spectator sport and eve ryo ne really good spectator sport and everyone can appreciate fastest from the top to the bottom windsor.” love the fact that you have mud on the tyres but you have some glitter. asperger. —— nice paintjob. the tyres but you have some glitter. asperger. -- nice paint job. thank you so much. it is 6:a2 a.m.. the uk is the 9th largest manufacturing nation in the world and the sector employs nearly three million people. yet a report out today says we don't celebrate our industrial strength enough. something i didn't know before last night, ben is a trained arista. he is in birmingham. —— barista.”

never told you because you would make me make the brews in the morning. i have come to the right place at. this place in birmingham makes copy machines, coffee makers. sold rout — — makes copy machines, coffee makers. sold rout —— ) the world, two pubs, restaurants and private individuals and who knew they were so complicated? and who knew they were so complicated ? all of and who knew they were so complicated? all of it designed and built right here in birmingham. we are here because we are talking about the report from the ees, which suggests that we don't understand how good we are at manufacturing. those of us think that we are about 56th in the world, we are the night largest manufacturer. why is it such a misconception and what can we do at it? me are two people who can explain more. adrian and fiona. you runa explain more. adrian and fiona. you run a manufacturing firm as well. morning to you both. adrian, talk me through this place. i will admit, i find it a bit strange, one of the biggest coffee machine makers in the world is right here in birmingham.

wire? because it is the heart of manufacturing, if you want any components made or contract work, it is very easy to tyneside to do it. if you are based in the south you would find it more difficult and we have always been based here because we are engineers at. you sell right around the world. your customers absolutely everywhere. give us a taste of where you sell to. middle east, dubai, australia, new zealand, south africa, chile, germany, holland, france, poland, you name it, we sell it. about 70 countries. is itfairto it, we sell it. about 70 countries. is it fair to say that that made in britain tagline had a bad name for a while, historically, it will might have thought it was in such a great thing but now it is back and well. very strong now. past history came from the automotive industry which knocked us for a little bit when we we re knocked us for a little bit when we were not making that. now definitely the fact it is made in the uk and

britain, everything we manufacture is good, strong, reliable. with a fantastic product. the brands and marks are just amazing and the perception now that the british truck is the thing to buy are certainly in korea and things like that, they love the fact it has the unionjack on that, they love the fact it has the union jack on the front of it and they want that the same in japan, they want that the same in japan, they love the fact that it is made here. fiona, when you hear success stories and the fact that the industry is booming, two things strike the. not a lot of young people want to go into manufacturing and look around here, not many women. you are a bit of a rarity. yes, sadly. it's a shame really because manufacturing is all about problem—solving. and interesting place to work and very diverse. i'm an accountant by trade, i don't work on the line or on the machines, but i'm surrounded by engineers, planners and those who understand the materials and the product. walking around here, we have to talk about the materials we have, the

machines, the investment required, the skills. as for women, yeah, my factory is the same as your factory, there are women. unfortunately, not many senior there are women. unfortunately, not many senior women, there are women. unfortunately, not many senior women, not many engineering women. highs that? that's a good question. i think that my daughter is studying engineering at university —— highs that? on her course, about 20% are girls —— highs that? my younger daughter studies maths available and about a third are girls. it isa it is a fascinating issue and we will talk later about why more young women are not getting involved in manufacturing, when its as you heard it is such a success story. i've got my coffee, see you after 7am. is it here's a coffee i made earlier by

ben thompson? it isjust a bit cold! we could do with one here!” ben thompson? it isjust a bit cold! we could do with one here! i love you didn't tell us before so you wouldn't have to make the coffee is! now we know! storm bronagh has meant high winds and torrential rain in some parts of the uk overnight. it was miserable this morning. it was miserable this morningm was hammering down here. matt's here with all the details. month of rain yesterday in many parts. good morning. —— a month of. a wild night in england and wales. wind gusts close to 80 mph in the isle of wight, very exposed, but even elsewhere we saw in excess of 50 -55 even elsewhere we saw in excess of 50 —55 mph. good news, a bit of friday feeling at the worst of the winds done with. storm bronagh is going to scandinavia, opening up the door to north—westerly winds and cooler air today. temperatures taking a noticeable drop to what we've seen of late to a mixture of sunshine and showers. at the moment, the heaviest overnight rain has cleared from the south—east. lingering across northern and

eastern scotland and the far north—east of england, but that's going in the next hour or so from the north—east of england at least but here are the strongest winds. still in excess of a0 mph. blustery elsewhere, but they're not as strong as last night. a mixture of sunshine and showers. the rain in eastern scotla nd and showers. the rain in eastern scotland will break into showers. showers most frequent in the west all day long, heavy and thundery, lunch an in between. a noticeable breeze will push them eastwards. some staying dry, especially in the south coast, a better day in north—eastern scotland and. temperatures down on recent days. ten in lowick, glasgow. hull, 13 —— north—eastern scotland. tonight, after a cool day, a chilly night will follow —— lerwick. a few will continue in northern and western scotland, with more persistent rain in the far north later on. in the countryside away from that, into single figures with a touch of frost

for tomorrow morning. your weekend sta rts for tomorrow morning. your weekend starts on a fresh note, bright skies, with the exception of showers in northern scotland. make the most of brightness bursting in the south because quickly cloud in over, sunshine turning hazy, extending into northern ireland and southern scotla nd into northern ireland and southern scotland but wales, south—west england and other southern counties will turn wetter with heavy bursts and it will stay cool. the north of the country staying fine by and large, also on sunday. the big question is where this low pressure will end? it develops as it pushes towards us. that gives us uncertainties. this is where we see it, across central areas, the heaviest rain to the north and gusty winds through the channel and as that pushes away, strong winds extending across england and wales. scotla nd extending across england and wales. scotland and northern ireland the quietest. the rain may shift further south and maybe further north, keep tuned to the forecast. 0ne south and maybe further north, keep tuned to the forecast. one thing about sunday i can tell you, it is the autumn equinox. astronomically

speaking, the official start to autumn. matt, thank you very much indeed. a pretty miserable looking map behind you but we will be back later.” kind of get the feeling winter is coming. the prime minister went to salzburg this week to sell her brexit plans to the other 27 eu leaders. mrs may was told in no uncertain terms that they wanted her chequers proposals to be redrawn. 0ur political correspondent, chris mason, is here to examine the sticking points. it all seems to have unravelled a bit? it is a rough old time for the prime minister. i don't think anyone can put any more positive a spin on it. yes, there will be theatrics on it, there always are. here comes the prime minister, back from salford. salford ? prime minister, back from salford. salford? did i say salford. salzburg? it could have been so different. out on the keys, a bit of

british winter weather. bit of british winter weather. bit of british winter weather. bit of british winter weather, that would have sorted it all out. they would have sorted it all out. they would have sorted it in ten minutes! jig comes from salzburg to south road. there she goes on. then we have another character —— it comes from —— she comes from salzburg to sa lfo rd. —— she comes from salzburg to salford. donald tusk. he was meant to find an agreement. what did he say? he said the plan couldn't work. 0ne say? he said the plan couldn't work. one of the big reasons why it can't work is ireland. enter our next visit this morning to the sofa, not sitting down, just standing up, lee of the key —— taoiseach. how do you keep the irish border open is a big question while maintaining the eu's rules and not being seen to bend them? —— leo varadkar. they are both

walls that both sides have erected. the prime minister hopes the so—called chequers plan would provide a way through, but we found out yesterday in no uncertain terms that brussels doesn't like it. so what next? what they will have to do is personally re—established the warm words, because they have kind of gone, and to emphasise the lack of gone, and to emphasise the lack of those warm words. —— is re—established. this is the line about cherry picking, you can't have bits of the eu rules and not other bits. you can't have your cake and eat it and all that kind of stuff. they have thought about that. this team have thought about that. this team have

thought about that. that is trolling the british prime minister on social media about what they see as a set of plans that can't possibly work. remember, there's meant to be this big summit next month that was the crucial summit, it's going to be postponed and there will be another in november in all likelihood, but timing is getting very short now. you've got a key cabinet minister this morning, someone very close to theresa may, chris grayling, the transport secretary, saying they've got to go back to the drawing board and compromise all we're walking away. he's talking up the prospect ofa away. he's talking up the prospect of a no—deal brexit where there isn't a arrangement on the big deal future relationship —— big picture. chris grayling is talked about that but he said there would be no changes to the brexit plans for the moment —— has talked about that. there could be someone in downing street with tippex trying to work out how things need to be changed. can they find some fudge? fudge is a

big favourite at a brussels summit. can they find a way where both sides live with it even if neither can get it done? we've talked about this for so many months, not least the issues with the tory party, we are entering conference season as well? the conservative party are about to meet ina conservative party are about to meet in a sealed security bubble in birmingham in about ten days, non—stop political chat for five days. normally there is an attempt to paint the veneer of serenity and a united party. it will be impossible. it will so be for labour, next week in liverpool, and for the conservatives it will be impossible. they want to avoid a general election and they don't want to see theresa may toppled. some people think they can live with the chequers compromise, others think it will be terrible. we know how rough it was for her last year at conference. theresa may is a prime

minister school in difficult moments, weather that's the general election, when things went wrong, the conference last year —— schooled in. bits fell off the stage. and she lost her voice, a nightmare played out in reality. she is used to tough moments and she is used to dusting herself down and carrying on. this is another one i guess. summed up by the picture on so many of the front pages this morning, all of the other leaders leaving salzburg and she is on her own. she needs to capitalise on her own. she needs to capitalise on the idea of being separate and strong... it is a strong colour, that's a conscious effort. a load of grey blokes and a female leader, saying i'm standing up for what i believe in. but that picture screams 27-1. she needs to get on instagram! maybe with some fudge! chris, thank you for making sense of it all. as part of a week of special brexit coverage across bbc news, today politics live will be teaming up with the radio 5 live podcast,

brexitcast, to bring you more analysis of today's eu summit. that's at 12:15pm on bbc two. at 7:10am we will talk about the idea of intimidation and fake news to the global head of safety for facebook. weather the web is a safe space. if you've got a question get it to us on social media and we will put them to her. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. see you in a second. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alice 0ldfield. security concerns have been raised about the imminent release from prison of the radical preacher anjem choudary and other followers of the banned al—muhajiroungroup. choudary, who is from east london, was jailed for five and a half years

in 2016 for his support of the so—called islamic state. a former al—muhajiroun member has told the bbc choudary‘s release comes at the same time as the threat of far right extremism is growing which could create a potentially disastrous cocktail. some m25 users say they have been left devastated to find a treasured piece of road graffiti has been removed. a bridge betweenjunctions 16 and 17 had displayed ‘give peas a chance' for more than 20 years. network rail said it doesn't condone people putting lives at risk to vandalise the bridge. a londoner who fought in the second world war battle of arnhem has returned to unveil a memorial to those who lost their lives over 70 years ago. frank ashleigh was part of the glider pilot regiment who landed their wooden planes in the battlefields in the netherlands in autumn 19aa. the operation failed and many lost their lives. the memorial will be unveiled at one of the troops original landing zones this morning. the mercury prize awards ceremony took place last night and the winner was... wolf alice.

the indie band beat the likes of noel gallagher, arctic monkeys and lily allen to the £25,000 prize. the group say they plan to invest the money by building a studio to record their third album next year. and that takes us to today's travel now. if we look at the tube board and there are minor delays on the jubilee line. and tfl rail has severe delays between liverpool street and shenfield. 0n the roads, these are the queues on the a102 blackwall lane towards the northbound blackwall tunnel. let's have a check on the weather now with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. storm bronagh swept through last night, and we saw gusts around london of up to 50—55mph, and it is still very blustery today. the met office warning is valid until 9am, so to the end of the morning rush—hour. still possibly some transport disruption, branches coming down here and there, and we will keep the strong gusts for much of the rest of the day.

sunshine around, and also a few afternoon showers. quite a cool start to the morning, lots of sunshine around initially. still some gusts of wind of a0—a5mph through the day, watch out for a few showers, especially to the west as we head towards the end of the afternoon. temperatures will be lower than of late, between 1a and 17 degrees. always tempered by that very brisk westerly wind. through this evening and overnight, the winds will ease down a touch, and there'll be lots of clear skies around. temperatures dropping lower than of late, down to eight or nine rurally. quite a cool start to the weekend. on saturday afternoon, we can expect further outbreaks of rain. rainey on sunday indeed, another warning issued and also some heavy rain. that's all for now. i'll be back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. i'll at the usual address. see you soon. bye—bye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and jon kay. 0ur headlines today:

lily allen in tears. very good morning to you. it's friday the 21st of september. our top story: a senior cabinet minister has warned that britain is heading for a no—deal brexit unless the eu softens its position on the issue of the irish border. the transport secretary chris grayling says it's impossible for the government to agree to northern ireland having customs rules that are different to the rest of the uk. yesterday at the end of the salzburg summit, theresa may's chequers plan was rejected by eu leaders. but she insists it's the only credible option. here's our political correspondent chris mason. it was hoped there would be some harmony at this meeting in salzburg, the setting for the sound of music. instead, eu leaders gave theresa may's brexit plan a bit of a kicking. everybody shared the view that while there are positive

elements in the chequers proposal, the suggested framework for economic co—operation will not work. but the prime minister didn't back down, standing by her brexit blueprint, seemingly angry at how things went. so yes, concerns have been raised. i want to know what those concerns are. there is a lot of hard work to be done, but i believe that there is a willingness to do a deal. but let nobody be in any doubt, as i have always said, we are preparing for no deal. so, two rather different songsheets among eu leaders as the talks reach a crucial stage. roadside say they do want a deal, but there is still stuff they can't agree on, not least how to avoid a hard irish border. at the moment what the european union is asking around northern ireland is simply impossible for any uk government to accept. if they stick to that position there will be no deal because no uk government, certainly not this one,

the labour party said the same, could possibly accept any kind of border in the irish sea. critics at home who don't like the prime minister's plan are saying "i told you so." the former brexit secretary david davis told the huffington post there is a rocksolid core of probably 30 or a0 conservative mps prepared to vote against it. theresa may might have wanted helpful mood music to take home, instead, the noise left ringing in her ears is not quite so tuneful. chris mason, bbc news. storm bronagh is expected to bring gusts of 60 miles per hour to parts of the uk today, along with heavy rain. this is the heroic moment a passer—by rescued an elderly lady from herflooded car in yorkshire. richard hamshaw is seen wading through the water to get

to the driver after she became trapped. it's expected bronagh will cause problems during the morning rush hour due to the possibility of flooding and fallen trees. at least a0 people have died after a ferry carrying hundreds of people capsized on lake victoria in tanzania. officials have said the ferry was carrying more than a00 passengers. it is thought the overloaded vessel toppled over when crowds on board moved to one side as it docked. security concerns have been raised about the imminent release from prison of the radical preacher anjem choudary and other followers of the banned al—muhajiroun group. choudary was jailed for five and a half years in 2016 for his support of the so—called islamic state. a former al—muhajiroun member has told the bbc choudary‘s release comes at the same time as the threat of far right extremism is growing which could create a potentially "disastrous cocktail." a third of drivers say they have become more dependent

on their cars over the last year, because of failing public transport. that's according to a survey by the rac. here's our consumer correspondent colletta smith. toa to a expensive, overcrowded or not running at all. delayed, expensive. —— delayed, expensive. it has been a year of passengers pulling their hair out year of passengers pulling their hairout on year of passengers pulling their hair out on public transport, so it isa hair out on public transport, so it is a surprise to hear that those who own a car are becoming increasingly more reliant on it. the rac put together a survey of a000 drivers and a first—time, the number of people who are using their cars more has increased. six in ten of the survey said they would use their car less if public transport was better. 23% say that because of where they live, the car is their only option. what is surprising about this research is that normally, when fuel prices go up and fuel prices are at their highest for years, with the ca rd their highest for years, with the

card use drop. but in this instance, what we have seen is that car use and car dependence is increasing. but drivers didn'tjust plain problematic bus and train journeys. the big part of a picture is changing lifestyle. whether through choice or necessity, we are travelling further for work and living further from family. at it is also worth pointing out that recent government figures show that a quarter of all carjourneys are less than two miles. colletta smith, bbc news. the winners of this year's mercury prize are the indie band wolf alice. they beat more familiar names, the likes of noel gallagher, arctic monkeys and lily allen, who didn't appaer to be desperately happy. here's our arts & entertainment correspondent colin paterson. wolf alice. cheering. indie band wolf alice, winners of the mercury prize for their second album, ‘visions of a life'. the judges said it combined the epic and intimate in equal measure, they were visibly shocked by the result. thank you so much!

cheering. this was the second time they had made the mercury shortlist, but their first win. in fact, no female fronted act had triumphed since pj harvey seven years ago. immediately after they came off stage, they told me why it meant so much to them. i think i have always found being a musician, being a performer, the whole music industry extremely intimidating and scared about it and not knowing what i was doing. but here we are, four best friends and we still don't know what we are doing. but we are here. you know... it means everything. i don't know. i don't know the answer to that question. i am just so happy. not everyone was happy about the result. lily allen was seen on camera in tears and later took to social media to say: as for wolf alice, they can expect

an immediate sales boost, and on sunday, they start their australian tour in sydney. so it is not only the mercury win that is causing their world to turn upside down. colin paterson, bbc news. this is a sort of spoiler alert. if you're not up to date with the latest twists and turns in ‘bodyguard', you might want to press mute forjust a moment. eight million watched last week's episode and ahead of the much anticipated climax this sunday night, the show‘s writer, jed mercurio has been addressing one of the favourite conspiracy theories as to whether home secretary, julia montague is dead, or not? i'm going to say what everyone is expecting me to say, which is you willjust have to wait.

keely and i were exchanging texts today and we are kind of enjoying the experience of winding everyone up. we are looking forward to what the reaction will be on sunday night. so we still don't know the answer. we are kind of enjoying it, he is loving it! revelling in it! it is ten past seven. 0nly loving it! revelling in it! it is ten past seven. only a couple of days ago before we get the answers are. “— days ago before we get the answers are. —— answers. the kind of thing where we stop circulation and ideas. after all the headlines about fake news and spending too much time online, the government is now considering creating a regulator to try and ensure the internet is a safe space. ministers will publish their proposals in the coming months. while some say it's time to get tough on social media and harmful content, others fear it could pose a clampdown on free—speech. facebook says two—thirds of young people see social media

as a force for good. how is social media changing? the company's head of global safety, antigone davisjoins us now. thank you for coming in. good morning, thank you. let's talk about some figures that came out earlier this week that off, in the uk are saying that 20% of people feel that they have seen harmful material, they have seen harmful material, they have seen harmful material, they have been worried by social media by being online. that is difficult for you to address. that suggests that people do not feel that safe. we take that issue very season and we take our responsibility to it very seriously, which is why we have in place the policies we have in place to make sure people are not abusing the platform and the tools that we have in place. we were heartened by the research, which showed that two out of three young people actually think social media is still a place for great social change and more interesting to me was, over half of them are using social media for

social change, engaging with community groups, reaching out to policymakers. that was, i thought seen policymakers. that was, i thought seen that kind of activism from young people, was really heartening. you are the head of global safety and this week there was the news that people smugglers were openly using facebook to advertise, talking about child trafficking. when did you know that was happening? as soon as something like that is reported we will take it down. so you didn't know before it was reported? we will take it down. so you didn't know before it was reported 7m we will take it down. so you didn't know before it was reported? in this case, i think it was reported and thatis case, i think it was reported and that is how we found out. we do use technology to prevent some of these things, they worked really well in the context of things that are really clear. sometimes there are ins that require more context and then we need humans. so what happened? this was reported, tell us the process, how soon is being taken down? most things are taken down within 2a hours, some even sooner. when there is evidence of harm and

real risk, those reports will rise to the top could be escalated so we can do it even sooner. you have your figures that young people seeing facebook and social media as a force for good. you must accept that facebook and social media companies have an image problem and a credibility problem at the moment. some people have very real and deep concerns, we had reached davidson in scotla nd concerns, we had reached davidson in scotland saying she has come off it because she is fed up.” scotland saying she has come off it because she is fed up. i do believe there is more there we need to be doing and more that we need to be telling people. we take that responsibility very seriously. we recently released some numbers about what we are doing and we intend to do more of that because i think also, part of it is letting people know what we are doing and it is working. do you accept that if you did more sooner you would be in this situation now, the government talking about a regulator to monitor behaviour and big fines for companies that put out fake news and allow it to thrive? we have heard

loud and clear that people want us to be doing more and they want to hear from us to be doing more and they want to hearfrom us more and we are doing those at the. the report that i was referencing earlier shows that with fa ke accou nts we referencing earlier shows that with fake accounts we have removed, in a three—month period earlier in the year, three—month period earlier in the yea r, close to three—month period earlier in the year, close to 600 million fake accou nts year, close to 600 million fake accounts before they were ever reported to us. so more and more, we are using technology... 600 million fa ke are using technology... 600 million fake accounts? how could you have a business that had 600 million fake accounts? surely that is shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted. those are before they are reported to. we have 2 billion people using our platform on a regular basis. those accounts, actually most people hadn't seen them. we are getting in front of the trouble and we are also try to make it easierfor people. trouble and we are also try to make it easier for people. more fake accou nts it easier for people. more fake accounts on facebook that you close down then ten times the uk

population. it is staggering that you didn't know. we didn't know. belatedly you have addressed it. they don't just crop belatedly you have addressed it. they don'tjust crop up overnight. they don'tjust crop up overnight. they must have been there for wales. no. people sign up all the time and some of these are removed within minutes of actually being on the platform. you mentioned about self harm and that you act on that quickly. what sort of things do you do and how worried are you that this sort of conversation is happening on your platform? i take itakea i take a slightly different view of that. when people are using our platform that they may feel like arming themselves, often that's seen asa arming themselves, often that's seen as a cry for help and that's an opportunity when you have a community of 2 billion for people to reach out. what we see is people do. that's why we're using technology to make that easier. technology so people can reach out to that person directly if they see that content, and also so that person can reach out to help directly. taking you

back to something you said earlier about within 2a hours things can be taken down, about within 2a hours things can be ta ken down, people about within 2a hours things can be taken down, people have got in touch this morning to say someone had their account locked, difficulties getting in touch with facebook. we're trying to improve our reporting. we've heard people feel we can do better. recently... well, almost a year ago, we put in a support inbox. 0ne almost a year ago, we put in a support inbox. one of the things that we heard was people didn't know what was happening to their reports. now we have a support inbox you can go to look at to see what's happening. from your point of view, from the head of global safety, your job is about safety, what is the most worrying thing that's going on? i don't know if i could name the most worrying thing. the thing i think about quite a it is making sure people know what we have on our platform for them. that we have a safety centre. that we have a portal for pa rents safety centre. that we have a portal for parents to learn about facebook and have access to guides and

resources for their children. that people know what we're doing. you have a facebook account?” people know what we're doing. you have a facebook account? i do. it is private, any reason why? not entirely private, it is all my friends, but that's what we should all think about, your privacy settings. we've made that easy for people so they can decide, in my case, if you only want to share your profile with your friends, or if you wa nt to profile with your friends, or if you want to share things more publicly. can we be guaranteed private is private? you can be guaranteed if you're sharing with your friends then that's exactly what you're doing. all the figures about millions of fake accounts you have closed down, people getting delays getting in touch with you, does this boil down to the fact that this is ha rd to boil down to the fact that this is hard to manage because facebook is so big and so influential, with so many accounts to manage monitor, is it too big and too influential? we're trying to get ahead of those problems. —— to monitor. in the same

way the technology helped us build the platform, the same technology can help protect and build the platform and to use it for great things. thank you for coming in. thank you. the government told the bbc it would publish the white paper this winter. but a spokesman for the department for digital, culture, media and sport said it had no further details. we will keep across that and bring you up to date when we get more details. it is wet and windy this morning. sorry about that! really blustery. has the storm blown over, have we seen the back of it or is it the start of the wet week? we have to apologise for the weather, don't we, matt? we're going to see the back of it but it was a tough night to sleep in some parts of england and wales. if your window was rattling, no surprises, very strong winds, especially on the exposed isle of wight. a month of rain fell in the

likes of sheffield. some flooding on going this morning. causing problems for the rush—hour but the storm going to scandinavia. cooler air today, feeling chillier than of late. looking at where it is raining, heavy rain in the north and north—east of scotland. elsewhere, turning clear with showers to the west. still a bit windy down eastern areas with winds close to gale force wind the winds easing down relative to last night. a breezy day in parts of scotla nd to last night. a breezy day in parts of scotland and northern ireland, but nothing too untoward for the time of year. a story of sunshine and showers, cloud break in up in northern scotland, better in the afternoon but showers in the west. some could be heavy with hail and thunder, fairly frequent, sunshine in between and the breeze strong enough to push some eastwards but most enough to push some eastwards but m ost pla ces enough to push some eastwards but most places will be dry in the south and east of england. in the afternoon as well in north—east scotland. temperatures down on recent days, ten in lerwick, bell

belfast will be 13 and 17 or 18 in london. dropping from what we've seen on london. dropping from what we've seen on late. cool days normally followed by what we see in the night. still showers in scotland and northern ireland —— from what we've seen northern ireland —— from what we've seen of late. maybe the touch of frost on saturday morning —— a touch of frost. a bright start for the vast majority. a few showers in scotla nd vast majority. a few showers in scotland breaking up. the driest weather in the north of the uk on saturday. cloud thickening up from the south, early brightness gives way to hazy sunshine and thicker skies. with the cloud pushing in after a chilly start, a rather chilly day by and large. we finish saturday without area of rain sliding across many parts of central southern england and wales. we look to the west, a developing area of low pressure with uncertainty as to where that will track. this is the favoured track, where we think it will go, across southern counties.

that means heavy rain in too much of england and wales and strong winds developing through the day as it goes east. that will add to the chilly feel. scotland and northern ireland, not a bad weekend with the driest and brightest weather. quite a while into sunday, particularly across parts of southern and eastern england and wales. we will keep you updated. john and louise, sunday is the autumn equinox. there you go. already! —— jon. the autumn equinox. there you go. already! -- jon. the nights will soon already! -- jon. the nights will soon be drawing in. i thought you said we had seen the back of storm bronagh but another one coming later in the weeken d. welcome to autumn, folks! can you put plastic bottles and yoghurt pots in the same recycling bin? the answer probably depends on where you live. the bbc has found that confusion reigns for almost half of homes when it comes to recycling. now the government wants to see how domestic recycling rates

can be increased. here's our science editor, david shukman. in swansea in south wales, pink bags are for plastic recycling. all over the country, different councils recycle plastic in different ways. in north 0xfordshire, plastic goes into blue bins, along with all the other recycling, to be sorted later. in waltham forest in east london, black boxes are for plastic, and each council has its own rules about which kinds of plastic it"l take. confused? well, sue raymond lives near bracknell in berkshire, and like many, she isn't clear what to do. i don't know if i can put that in the bin, and whether that will get discarded the other end or whether they will recycle that. you will you assume you can or you assume you can't? i will put it in. because you think it will probably be ok? i'd rather try and put it in my recycling bin rather than put it in my rubbish. to help sue with her plastic, we take her to the local recycling centre in reading for

a look behind the scenes. centre manager adrian clarke will be her guide. that will be made into food trays again. here, bottles, yoghurt pots and food cartons are all accepted. staff check everything is being sorted correctly. sue learns that if she gets things slightly wrong, the system can handle it. they seem quite tolerant with the amount of plastics that can go into the recycling bin, and they can do things with it. so i think i'm doing the right thing by putting it in. if i'm in any doubt, put it in. but other councils aren't so relaxed. others want the most valuable plastic, the bottles, which can fetch several hundred pounds a ton. that's why in greater manchester, officials are out telling councillors only to recycle bottles, not to bother with other types of plastic. we only want plastic bottles,

other types of plastic we want in the general waste bin. it's true lots of residents thing they're doing the right thing because it's plastic and it must be all the same, but it's not. it's complicated, i understand that. a few councils don't recycle any plastic at all. some of them accept as many as 15 different types of plastic. around the country, we've workd out there are as many 39 different recycling plastic schemes. so there's a lot of confusion, and perhaps it's not surprising that our opinion poll has found that as many as a7% of people admit to having a disagreement in the household about whether a particular household item can be recycled. amid all the confusion, the government wants to boost plastic recycling, maybe with better labels or having the same rules across the country. we'll find out later this year. david shukman, bbc news. have on facebook and twitter said

thank you for reminding me to put the bins out. —— heather. it is the beginning of explaining what happens with plastic. you can go to the bbc website. and if you want to find out what plastic your council recycles visit bbc.co.uk/news. put in your postcode and you can find out what your council does, what they can and cannot take, plastic wise. hopefully that will clear it up. the uk isn't doing enough to celebrate its manufacturing might according to a new report. ben is in birmingham at a coffee machine makerfor us this morning. i found out today that he is a qualified barista. morning. don't tell anyone, i will have to make the brews in the office. there is a real misconception about what we do as a country and whether we are good at manufacturing. this place makes coffee machines, these are all the parts that go together. this is stephen, who is doing some of the folding. the metal that gets framed into the machine itself. come with

me and! into the machine itself. come with me and i will explain. we will chat to these guys a little later. these are the boilers that go in the machines, martin putting the valves on. let me show you where these end up, these are the coffee machines. made and designed in birmingham but sold around the world. it's a real success story, the whole made of britain idea in the last decade has bounced back. it used to have a bad reputation about the stuff that was made here —— made in britain. but it's bouncing back. a5% of the things we exported as a country are manufactured goods made in the uk. there's still a big problem. it isn't attracting enough young people into the industry and not enough women as well. we will look at some of the manufacturing challenges but also why it is such a success story. imight also why it is such a success story. i might also make a wanna a little bit later. but before that, let's

get the news, travel and weather wherever you're having your coffee this morning —— i might also make a brew a little bit later. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alice saulfield. the metropolitan police has admitted for the first time that an undercover officer had a sexual relationship with an environmental activist with the knowledge of this bosses. 0fficer mark kennedy posed as mark stone and had a two—year relationship with kate wilson. legal documents seen by the bbc show this bosses knew about the relationship and allowed it to continue. scotla nd and allowed it to continue. scotland yard said it would be inappropriate to comment because of ongoing legal action. security concerns have been raised about the imminent release from prison of the radical preacher anjem choudary. choudary who is from east london was jailed for five and a half years in 2016 for his support of the so—called islamic state. a former al—muhajiroun member has told the bbc choudary‘s release comes at the same time as the threat of far right extremism is growing which could create a potentially disastrous cocktail. some m25 users say they have been

you are excited too. i am. —— an hour. it willjust be a catch up! you two can ask the questions! it is 7:37 a.m.. did you read your children at bedtime story last night? maybe, maybe not. —— a bedtime. a bedtime story is not only one of the joys of being a parent, it was also the first introduction to books for generations of children. but how many of us not only make the time to read to our children, but also encourage them to read out loud? it's an issue that concerns ‘how to train your dragon' author, cressida cowell and the chef turned author, nadiya hussain. morning both. good morning. lovely to see you both here. it is so lovely to be here. you are both mothers of three. that's right. you read to your children? mine are now 20, 18 and read to your children? mine are now 20,18 and 1a, i am struggling! 1a—year—old, i can do what we do him. he will let me, sometimes, if i

am lucky. you are not quite at this stage. we just had this conversation because your kids are a lot older, you are at that end, mine are 12, 11 and seven. i am at the end where i am reading to them and they are reading to me. do you read all at the same time? i take it in turns because they are older i read different things. i take it in turn. you get around all three of them? i am so impressed! i have to say, on a day, we are all busy and we make excuses, i do all the time. but when lam excuses, i do all the time. but when i am really busy, what i get my daughter to do, she i am really busy, what i get my daughterto do, she is i am really busy, what i get my daughter to do, she is the one who likes to read the most. she has to have a bit of reading at night and she likes me to read to her. when she likes me to read to her. when she is in the bath, i will read her story. it is called multitasking! clichy the youngest? she is the youngest. i think that is

interesting because as they get older they do not do as much and it isa older they do not do as much and it is a challenge. —— is she. older they do not do as much and it is a challenge. -- is she. two working parents families, they are knackered, exhausted, it has been a long day. as soon as they get older, from 8— 11, it is thinking, do i leave it up to the school? paris to realise how important it is to carry on the. my books, the dragons books and the wizard books are often fought older readers, 8— 12, but i still write them deliberately to be read aloud. i make the sprites have squeaky little voices. and the enchanter has a huge voice, to make ita enchanter has a huge voice, to make it a performance so it is fun to read aloud. parents need to be encouraged to do it. you do it deliberately, don't you? you write the books with that in mind of being read aloud. of course. we are busy but it is a condition. my husband

does all of the voices, but i did a study i can't compete with him!” does all of the voices, but i did a study i can't compete with him! i am thinking an audio book, a series together. it is interesting to kids love it when they are little and when they get older it is a bit embarrassing to hear parents do funny voices. that is the danger, it all becomes a little awkward. do they? yes. you think they get embarrassed? i think they don't necessarily want their parents to be. er thinking of teenagers. maybe when they get older they feel like they are a bit too young when they are being read to. get them to read to you, that could be turning it around a. sometimes i don't trust them. isay around a. sometimes i don't trust them. i say go off and read your book, i will be up in 15 minute, i wonder if you read that book in three days. it is this thick. they can read really, really quickly. i am astonished. is the one year to

write and sometimes the kid has read it by the time they get to the front of the signing queue, i am thinking that took me a year to write! you can test them. do you think books are ina can test them. do you think books are in a difficult place? we have been talking to the global head of safety for facebook, there is so much content out there. do you think books are under threat? absolutely i think they are under threat as a medium. this is why we work so hard to get children reading because the television is marvellous, films are wonderful, we are competing against that all the time. my wizard books are for older readers, but i have to make the storylines and so, like filmmaking and filled with pictures, in order to get children reading because it is such a competition. it is so difficult to be, we have to

get them reading. why does it matter? 0k. it matters because the better you read, the more likely you are to own your own home, the more likely... yeah. not be in prison, the more likely you are to do better and be wealthier. happier. all of these things are related to reading statistics. and empathy, things on a screen happen out there. when you are reading a book, they are happening inside your head. books can be expensive and libraries, some are under threat. are those issues? and libraries are closing in primary schools. even mobile wiry -- libraries growing up, where are they gone? what happened to mobile libraries in areas where you can just go off to a van and pick out a book. we are always competing with media and television and movies and

sometimes you have to strip it back. for me, as long as they listen, i will read to them. i wanted to talk a little bit about notjust reading, but creative writing, do you think thatis but creative writing, do you think that is getting squeezed? yes! laughter. absolutely. it is all about testing. you get two year set, it is all about it is time for sats. it is all about the sats. i have created a campaign called free writing friday, 15 minutes every friday in a school for the kids to have a book where they can write for pleasure. no rules, no marking, just fun and it cannot be marked by their teachers. i like that! the kids like it too! and the teachers. they want this to. a lot of my stories began just with scribbles that i was doing

just with scribbles that i was doing just for thejoy of just with scribbles that i was doing just for the joy of writing when i was little. i suppose the government would say that the test is and all of that reading, that is what makes people read more because they feel more prepared, they have got the skills and are better equipped for reading the life. but it is balance, isn't it? it is about some of that, but some of reading and writing for the joy of it. that is what your book is all about, they are all about enjoyment. is about enjoyment and being interactive. because we are busy. —— it is. it is about encapsulating that two at comic and saying you can read and do something with their children. it is an interactive experience and that is what it is all about. we are forgetting the importance of reading and sometimes it isn't about the numbers and the statistics, sometimes it is really nice to give yourself, as a parent, five minutes and your child fight on its to say we just have five minutes where nothing is quitting or flashing.

just sit down and read. if you read a book, you are physically closer. yeah. would you rather your children we re yeah. would you rather your children were baking or reading? to make her choose! —— don't. were baking or reading? to make her choose! -- don't. if you can have a bath and read at the same time, you can bake and read to. or see cake that you have baked while you are reading! it looked like we were sitting in a library then. cressida‘s book twice magic‘ and nadiya's ‘bake me a are both out now. thank you. thinks a much. the time is quarter to eight. you might not wa nt to is quarter to eight. you might not want to read about the weather. mac has it and it is not looking lovely. this was yesterday. somebody braving the weather in harrogate. what an afternoon and night it was. rainfall was close to a month‘s worth in the likes of sheffield, 61 millimetres in 2a hours, the wettest was

snowdonia in north—west wales. 80 mph on the isle of wight overnight. getting better today, storm bronagh is in scandinavia but in doing so it is in scandinavia but in doing so it is introducing cooler, fresher air across the uk for today with a mixture of sunshine and showers. if you‘re about to step out, the worst of the rain has gone but it is persistent in northern and north—east in scotland but a speck of blue towards the west, sunshine and showers start here and on the breezy side with winds close to girl forced down the east. falling lighter compared to overnight. still a blustery day, the rain breaking up to showers —— gale force wind. sunshine in between. some heavy and thundery. the breeze strong enough to push some of them east. some avoiding showers in the far south and east and much better in northern scotla nd and east and much better in northern scotland compared to this morning. when the showers come through it will feel much cooler. temperatures only 11 in stornoway, 13 in

newcastle, 16 in cardiff. down on recent days. when the day isn‘t as warm, and the nights are getting that bit longer, clear and lighter winds with the showers fading back to parts of scotland and northern ireland, a chilly night. temperatures down into single figures, low enough in the countryside, especially northern england, scotland and northern ireland, for a touch of frost. if you‘re up early tomorrow morning, for the start of the weekend, the best sunshine will be around the further south you are. sunshine turning hazy, raining by the end of the morning in south—west england and southern wales, extending to other parts of southern england and north wales. much of northern england, scotland and northern ireland staying dry mainly, the odd shower, though, sunshine turning hazy and a cool day for all. a wet night for the southern half of england and wales, clearing out. a quiet spell to start sunday and then this low pressure, uncertainty as to where it will go, it is developing

as it moves across. it could be further north or south, don‘t take this too literally. rain across much of england and wales and as the low pressure pulls away, we could see strong and damaging winds against be the quietest weather in scotland and northern ireland. —— damaging winds again. the quietest weather in scotla nd again. the quietest weather in scotland and northern ireland. keep up scotland and northern ireland. keep up to date with us for the stormy weather. but next week looking much quieter. we will be listening carefully.” wonder if we can go outside at all this weekend! the uk is the ninth largest manufacturing nation in the world and the sector employs nearly three million people. yet a report out today says we don‘t celebrate our industrial strength enough. ben is at a coffee machine maker in birmingham to tell us more. good morning. how often have we heard that phrase, we don‘t make anything in this country any more. quite frankly, it isn‘t true, that

survey from the f suggesting most think we are the 56th largest manufacturer, we‘re actually the ninth ash eef. you sell coffee makers from here around the world, but tell me the story of the company name “— but tell me the story of the company name —— eef. it‘s interesting in terms of how you sell things. it's an anagram of my father's name, frank, and cappuccino, we need an italian name and hence the name. you can sell therefore to italy and other places. if you have a foreign sounding name it helps. in the old days, people's perception was it needed to be italian to be an espresso machine, now it has changed and we promote being made in britain. that made in britain brand is valuable now but it hasn‘t always been like that? no, but in the last seven or been like that? no, but in the last seven or eight years since the recession, and we have pushed forward with exports, that's become more beneficial to be british and

promote the british brand and wave the unionjack. promote the british brand and wave the union jack. adrian, for now, thank you very much. that is part of the success stories. this place makes 5000 of these coffee machines every year. sold right around the world and employs about 70 people. but getting people into manufacturing jobs isn‘t always as easy as you might expect. two people can explain a bit more. the owner, you run a manufacturing firm here and georgina, you are an apprentice. we will talk to you in a moment but fiona, not many women —— the owner. particularly —— fiona. it has a bad reputation. people assume it‘s about standing on a production line, it‘s not always that way? it‘s about standing on a production line, it's not always that way? it's a real shame because manufacturing is all about problem—solving, either requirements for the customer or you‘re trying to find the sweet spot when you‘re running the machines. you‘re trying to reduce the packaging you‘re using, reducing the amount of lorries on the road. it‘s

amount of lorries on the road. it‘s a really interesting place to work i would say. georgina, you're an apprentice, you work in a manufacturing plant, did you always think you would do that kind ofjob? many people think there‘s not enough young people going into manufacturing, why not? there's lots of stigma around manufacturing, especially with young people. it isn't something i originally saw myself doing but when i started applying for apprenticeships and doing gcses and a—levels, i thought it was a different industry and as i delved deeper into what's behind what we do every day, the everyday products we use, i found it really interesting and i think we need to promote it in schools, especially with young women. it is something we need to get rid of the stigma of an perception because there's lots more to manufacturing than production line stuff. there's design, how things work and doing different bits of digital transform a, those opportunities that are available. fiona, how typical is georgina‘s story? —— transformer. it is what we

are story? —— transformer. it is what we a re really story? —— transformer. it is what we are really good at in this country. we were talking about it earlier, until you come in and see a manufacturing enterprise, you don‘t appreciate what‘s involved. the planning, the understanding of materials, machines, components. there‘s so much to it. i‘m an a ccou nta nt there‘s so much to it. i‘m an accountant and i‘ve worked in financial services but i prefer manufacturing, it is brilliant. you produce something tangible and you give it to someone. georgina, a final word, if anyone is watching saying manufacturing isn‘t for them, what would you say? go and try everything you can, then the doors before you close them, that's howl got into myjob. give it a try and see if it is for you. i gave it a go and it's the bestjob i could possibly have found. great note to end on. thanks very much. a sense of what we‘re really good at in this country, manufacturing, it accounts

for half everything we sell in the uk. in the past it had a bad reputation but the made in britain brand is back, it is what we do well. what you heard this morning is certainly a career option for many people, but it‘s about getting over the stigma of what many think manufacturing should be. industry here alive and well in birmingham.” would like a larger skinny flat white with soy milk, please. so fussy, so fussy! ben has the skills and the experience. just coffee! look after yourself! do you remember this music...? i had to turn that down because my parents banned me from watching grange hill. rioli? yes, i would turn it down to watch it —— really. rioli? yes, i would turn it down to watch it -- really. was it too gritty? yes. there was the drug storyli nes gritty? yes. there was the drug storylines and zammo and all of

watch out for a few showers, especially to the west as we head towards the end of the afternoon. temperatures will be lower than of late, between 1a and 17 degrees. always tempered, of course, by that very brisk westerly wind. through this evening and overnight, the winds will ease down a touch, and there‘ll be lots of clear skies around. temperatures dropping lower than of late, down to eight or nine celsius rurally. quite a cool start to the weekend. on saturday afternoon, we can expect further outbreaks of rain. rainey on sunday indeed, another warning issued and also some heavy rain. that‘s all for now. until then it‘s back to louise and jon. good morning welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and jon kay. 0ur headlines today... a senior cabinet minister warns we are heading for a no—deal

brexit unless eu leaders soften their stance. the dramatic moment a passer—by rescues a woman trapped in her car. storm bronagh hits parts of the uk with high winds and heavy rain. and storm bronagh might be heading to scandinavia but we have a day of cool and blustery weather with sunshine and showers but there could be more storms this weekend. i will keep you updated. do we still make anything in this country? we might think made in britain is a thing of the past but it is one of our biggest exports so i am at this coffee machine maker in birmingham to find out why made in britain is alive and well. celtic leave it late for their first european group stage win in four years on a good night for british clubs in the europa league. wolf alice. the winners of this year‘s mercury prize, wolf alice, ended up leaving lily allen in tears.

it‘s friday the 21st of september. good morning. a senior cabinet minister has warned that britain is heading for a no—deal brexit unless the eu softens its position on the issue of the irish border. the transport secretary, chris grayling, says it‘s impossible for the government to agree to northern ireland having customs rules that are different to the rest of the uk. yesterday, at the end of the salzburg summit, theresa may‘s chequers plan was rejected by eu leaders. but she insists it‘s the only credible option. here‘s our political correspondent chris mason. it was hoped there would be some harmony at this meeting in salzburg, the setting for the sound of music. instead, eu leaders gave theresa may‘s brexit plan a bit of a kicking. everybody shared the view that, while there are positive elements

in the chequers proposal, the suggested framework for economic cooperation will not work. but the prime minister did not back down, standing by her brexit blueprint, seemingly angry at how things went. so, yes, concerns have been raised. i want to know what those concerns are. there‘s a lot of hard work to be done, but i believe that there is a willingness to do a deal but let nobody be in any doubt that, as i‘ve always said, we are preparing for no deal. so, two rather different song sheets amid eu leaders as the talks reached a crucial stage. both sides say they do want a deal but there is still stuff they can‘t agree on, not least how to avoid a hard irish border. at the moment, what the european union is asking in and around northern ireland is simply impossible for any uk government to accept and actually, if they stick with that position, there will be no deal because no uk government, certainly not this one — the labour party has said the same —

could possibly accept any kind of border in the irish sea. critics at home who don‘t like the prime minister‘s plan are saying i told you so. the former brexit secretary david davis told the huffington post there‘s a rock—solid core of probably 30 or a0 conservative mps prepared to vote against it. theresa may might have wanted helpful mood music to take home. instead, the noise left ringing in her ears is not quite so tuneful. chris mason, bbc news. at least a0 people have died after a ferry carrying hundreds of people capsized on lake victoria in tanzania. officials have said the ferry was carrying more than a00 passengers. it is thought the overloaded vessel toppled over when crowds on board moved to one side as it docked. natwest bank has reported problems with customers trying

to log on using their app. let‘s get more detail now from ben. good morning. we are following this story emerging in the last hour that customers of natwest and now also rbs are unable to access their bank accou nts rbs are unable to access their bank accounts through the mobile app on their smartphones or tablets, or through the website. if you try to log on you will get a message saying it is unable to establish a connection. natwest and rbs say they don‘t know what has caused the problem and they are not sure how to resolve it just yet problem and they are not sure how to resolve itjust yet but problem and they are not sure how to resolve it just yet but they problem and they are not sure how to resolve itjust yet but they have said you can still access your account via telephone banking or of course a branch. but nonetheless, we will watch this closely because we know all the awful problems that tsb had in april when people were locked out of their accounts for days and

weeks and also yesterday barclays had problems, people could not access their accounts. we will keep access their accounts. we will keep a close eye on this, about what happens next. natwest said about a million customers use its app to access their banking on the move so it will affect a lot of people trying to go about their everyday business today also a million could be effected, not able to log in through the website or app. we are onto natwest and rbs to try to get an answer about what exactly is happening but at this stage they say they don‘t know what has caused the problem and therefore don‘t know how to solve it but people are still struggling to get access. we will stay across it for you. thank you. storm bronagh is expected to bring gusts and heavy rain to the uk today. richard hannon short was seen wading through the water and helping

the lady out after she became trapped in her vehicle. it is expected storm bronagh will cause problems in the morning rush out with the possibility of flooding and fallen trees. certainly it was pretty brutal outside this morning. well done to him. the government is considering a number of options including a regulator, to better govern the internet. it‘s expected to publish plans in the coming months, including the possibility of a regulator similar to the broadcast watchdog 0fcom. earlier, facebook‘s head of safety told us that the company took its responsibilities very seriously and that it had shut down a record number of fake accounts. we‘ve removed, in about a three—month period earlier in the year, close to 600 million fa ke accou nts before they were ever reported to us. so, more and more, we are using technology... 600 million fake accounts?! yes. but how can you have a business that even had 600 million fake accounts?

surely that is shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted, isn‘t it? well, those are before those are reported to us. we have 2 billion people using our platform on a regular basis. those accounts, actually, most people had not even seen them, so we are getting in front of the problem. here is a question that troubles many of you i imagine. can you put plastic bottles and yoghurt pots in the same recycling bin? the answer probably depends on where you live. the bbc has found that confusion reigns for almost half of homes in the uk when it comes to recycling. now the government wants to see how domestic recycling rates can be increased. here‘s our science editor, david shukman. in swansea in south wales, pink bags are for plastic recycling. all over the country, different councils recycle plastic in different ways. in north 0xfordshire, plastic goes into blue bins along with all the other recycling,

to be sorted later. in waltham forest in east london, black boxes are for plastic and each council has its own rules about which kind of plastic it will take. confused? well, sue raymond lives near bracknell in berkshire and, like many, she isn‘t clear what to do. i don‘t know if i can put that in the bin and whether that will get discarded the other end or whether they will recycle that. so, you assume you can or you assume you can‘t? i will put that in. because you think it will probably be ok? yeah, and i would rather try and put that in the recycling bin than just a few councils don‘t recycle any plastic at all. some of them accept as many as 15 different types of plastic. around the country we have worked out there are as many as 39 different plastic recycling schemes so there‘s a lot of confusion and perhaps it‘s not surprising that our opinion poll has found that as many as a7% of people admit to having a disagreement

in the household about whether a particular plastic items can be recycled. amid all the confusion, the government wants to boost plastic recycling, maybe with better labels, or having the same rules across the country. we will find out later this year. david shukman, bbc news. the winners of this year‘s mercury prize are the indie band wolf alice. they beat the likes of noel gallagher, arctic monkeys and lily allen, who wasn‘t happy. here‘s our arts and entertainment correspondent colin paterson. wolf alice. indie band wolf alice, winners of the mercury prize for their second album, visions of life. the judges said it combined the epic and intimate in equal measure. they were visibly shocked by the result. thank you so much! this would be second time they had made the mercury shortlist

but theirfirst win. in fact, no female—fronted act had triumphed since pj harvey seven years ago. immediately after they came off stage, they told me what it meant so much to them. i think i‘ve always found being a musician, being a performer, the whole music industry, extremely intimidating and, you know, been scared about it and not known what i was doing. but here we are. four best friends and we still don‘t know what we‘re doing but we‘re here. you know, it means everything because, i don‘t know. i don‘t know the answer to that question! i‘m just so happy! not everyone was happy about the result. lily allen was seen on camera in tears and later took to social media to say, "someone call 999, i‘ve been robbed." as for wolf alice, they can expect an immediate sales boost and on sunday they start their australian tour in sydney

so it‘s not only the mercury win which is causing their world to turn upside down. colin paterson, bbc news. well done to them. 12 minutes past eight. the prime minister went to salzburg this week to sell her brexit plans to the other 27 eu leaders. it seemed like the mood music was that things were going well and they we re that things were going well and they were getting close to a deal. but mrs may was told in no uncertain terms that they wanted her chequers proposals to be redrawn. 0ur political correspondent chris mason is here to examine the sticking points. it is not looking great for her this morning. it isn't. this was an informal summit which meant they we re informal summit which meant they were going to sign on the dotted not be massive breakthrough and a whole thing being resolved but when theresa may rolled up in salzburg

the hope was for some sort of warm language, not least from the next character, donald tusk, the president of the european council, the man who chairs the talks. he was meant to be the person who was seen to be the peace broker, some up for bringing the sides together and yet he said he did not think it could work. what we‘re talking about is the prime minister‘s plan, the so—called chequers plan, which is where it was signed off them in the country retreat in buckinghamshire. that is the compromise where the uk would stay very close in terms of rules for the trading of goods but would go its own way on services, presented a something of a compromise but inevitably with compromises people on both sides don‘t like it. the issue for the eu is it that they see this compromise is it that they see this compromise is undermining their rules can sanctity of the single market at the central concept of the eu. the problem for the uk is that its solution was to try to overcome this

whole business of the irish border and how you keep it open, they think it isa and how you keep it open, they think it is a solution, brussels does not. the thing brussels is suggesting the uk does not see at a solution because they see it at the border in the irish sea, effectively allowing northern ireland to be something else, detached from the uk which the british government said it can‘t live with. you have these two brick walls on either side and they seem to be getting closer because time is running out. but no sign of a compromise yet. an interesting, looking at the front pages of the papers, it is clear what their verdict is on what happened. 0ne papers, it is clear what their verdict is on what happened. one of them says 999 also and this is striking in the daily telegraph, the big picture of the french president, emmanuel macron, with him saying, brexiter is the joys of the british people, pushed by those people who predicted easy solutions and those people are liars. not much for theresa may to take any kind of comfort from. it isn't and liars is

a big word. politicians traditionally, maybe things have changed a bit, but they have been loathe to use that word because it is so powerful and there is no way to caveat a word like that. not parliamentary language! indeed. but he believes some in the leave campaign were spinning a web of lies. and talking about the images because there has been an interesting post on instagram which tells you quite a lot. it does. we will show you this, from donald tusk who we showed you a few moments ago. this is something that happened yesterday, a photo of the leaders offering cake to one another. it is a phrase that has popped up in the negotiations, about having your cake and eating it but the annotation on the post, a piece of cake, sorry, no cherries. it is a bit of a brussels joke but this idea is cherry picking, that the uk is taking the

bits of the uk it likes and ignoring the bid it does not like and he is making that central accusation —— ignoring the bits. he believes the plan from the government is cherry picking, taking some bit of a single market but not others. it is one thing to say that in private but for his team to decide, let‘s put it on social media for the world to the! some people will see that as a real slap in the face. what you think of the diplomacy effectively on social media? it is extraordinary but i guess we have to get used to it. we have seen president trump‘s version of it through twitter and here it is on instagram also i guess there is a recognition from politicians that it is an accusingly mainstream and direct way for them to communicate as opposed to the through journalists. i suppose we should get used to it. it still feels quite odd. remind us of the time frame. salzburg is it is over but the next few weeks are crucial. there is the conservative conference

injust over a week there is the conservative conference in just over a week and that will be interesting because the party is divided over whether to stick with this current climate doesn‘t have many friends, or decide to change it, which would amount to compromise some would not like to see. there is a brussels summit next month, and thatis a brussels summit next month, and that is seen as the big thing to count down to. it looks like if they can show sufficient progress at that summit there is scope for actual agreement within a few weeks after that, when there will be an emergency summit scheduled for november. i don‘t think anyone would be that surprised if it slipped into december, though. politics live is on bbc two at lunchtime. we have the podcast i do with adam fleming and laura kuenssberg, brexitcast, we are

taking over politics live today so will be chewing over the whole thing from salzburg. and dominic raab, the brexit secretary, is coming on live. can you take any leave between now and christmas? i don't think so. i think it will be nonstop. chris, thank you. if there is anything you need to know about brexit, chris will have the answer, if there is one. and the podcast brexitcast is a really good one. it explains everything and is really fun and entertaining. the weather is not very nice this morning. here‘s matt. this was the scene a short time ago in kent, one of a number of trees that came down in the night thanks to storm bronagh which brought gusts of up to 80 mph. widely over 50 mph. 52 mph in peterborough overnight. the winds are starting to ease down

and the good news is the worst is over as far as storm bronagh is concerned which is offered to scandinavia now. we are left with a north westerly airflow and a cooler field today with a mix of sunshine and showers. 0n the radar you can see the more persistent rain confined to the far north—east of scotland. speckles of blue in the west indicating showers are on the go. some might be long—lasting, some of them heavy and sundry, and it isn‘t as gusty as it was. wind dropping below a0 mph on the eastern coast of england where the winds are still at their strongest at the moment. a blustery day but not as windy as overnight. sunshine and showers mainly in the west, some hailand showers mainly in the west, some hail and thunder and sunshine in between. longer lasting ones in northern england, the northwest north wales and the west midlands. some areas are staying dry all day long. better in the north—east of

scotland. temperature is taking a tumble compared to what we have seen this week. ten in lerwick and 17 in london, cooler than it has been. tonight we lose the showers for all apart from the north of scotland and northern ireland, and it will be a cold night. temperatures away from most towns and cities are way down in single figures and they could be a touch of frost on the grass in the countryside in the morning. if you‘re up early you will see the best of the weather in the south, a bright start before clouding over. rain spreading into the south—west and southern wales. predominantly blue sky will turn hazy as the crowd pushes north. sunniest in the north—east of scotland but a dry day by and large but rain sliding into the south midlands. it will push off to the continent to be replaced by another area of low pressure on saturday night. a developing feature. the exact track is not known yet. this is where we think it

will go. the centre pushing along the southern counties. as that eases away the wind will strengthen and it could be a stormy end to sunday across parts of england and wales once again. quieter in scotland and northern ireland but another stormy speu northern ireland but another stormy spell is on the cards. if you have plans on sunday and you on the move keep checking the forecast because there is potential for it to change, but not looking good at the moment. across the uk, around 850,000 people are living with dementia. the disease has been described as one of society‘s biggest medical challenges. now, alzheimer‘s research uk says it wants to find £250 million to invest in dementia research, by 2025. let‘s find out what sort of work the money might be spent on with helen beaumont from the university of manchester who is looking for new ways to find the illness early. she started her career as a researcher after her husband, clive, died from dementia aged just 51. let‘s talk a little bit about your

personal story. we say he died when he was 51, but he was diagnosed at an incredibly young age. he started having symptoms when he was about a1. it's having symptoms when he was about a1. it‘s an illness that creeps on very gradually so with hindsight you can say, that was a bit different, i might not have expected that, but he started to lose in the early a0s. that is unusual, but it‘s not, u nfortu nately, that is unusual, but it‘s not, unfortunately, that unusual, and there are probably several thousand people in the uk developing dementia at that sort of age. what were those unusual symptoms you first noticed that were strange? he... it's really difficult to say. he got very stubborn. he wouldn‘t really listen. you could have an argument about what you were going to do. we thought we were going to go on a cycling holiday, so i started

getting my bike out and getting fit to go ona getting my bike out and getting fit to go on a cycling holiday. and then he came home one day and said he had booked us to go swimming and snorkelling in tenerife. but we hadn‘t discussed that, he hadn‘t asked me about it, so why had he presented it to me as a fait accompli? at the time he thought a cycling holiday with a not very fit to meet wouldn‘t be much fun! cycling holiday with a not very fit to meet wouldn't be much fun! and that‘s very hurtful, isn‘t it. to meet wouldn't be much fun! and that's very hurtful, isn't it. you try to make allowances. we had two children and everything is going to be different. what happened is really inspiring, actually. this inspired you to go on and research and really look at what‘s going on. what are the main things you are glad you found out? we are still working on it, but we are working on an mri technique that is looking really promising for finding signs. at the moment in an mri scan we can

only see when there is damage in the brain. but that is the time when the symptoms have already started and you have lost brain cells. we think you have lost brain cells. we think you can pick it up in early stages. and if you can‘t find it in the early stages then you can‘t develop treatment for it. and we don‘t want a treatment when someone is incapable of managing their affairs and needs looking after. it‘s too late. we need to get in early so we can stop it before the symptoms develop. when you are in the research, and we saw you there doing the work, when you‘re doing that, are you constantly thinking that you wa nt to are you constantly thinking that you want to help come up with a diagnosis and solution that means people get treatment earlier than your husband did, and that stops otherfamilies your husband did, and that stops other families and people going through what you went through? yes, that‘s something i‘m very aware of, but i am also aware of the fact that a lot of people think there is no point in developing a diagnosis

because it‘s something that happens to everybody as they get older. well, clive wasn‘t old. there are people approaching 100 who are still absolutely fine, so it‘s not inevitable. so that raising awareness of it is as important to me as doing the research. they are looking to raise £250 million. yes, i think that‘s fantastic news. looking to raise £250 million. yes, i think that's fantastic news. what difference will that make and how soon can difference will that make and how soon can it make a difference?m can makea soon can it make a difference?m can make a difference as soon as the money is there. because at the moment the people i work with spend quite a lot of time trying to find the next pot of money, if you can actually concentrate on the research, and unfortunately it is quite expensive research, and mri machines do not come cheap. everybody says what a huge problem it‘s going to be, but very few people actually put any money into wards it. and part of what you are

battling against in terms of public opinion is that sense of inevitability, that we will all get dementia in some way. it is such a nihilistic attitude. the attitude some people have is that there is no way of treating it, so maybe people would rather give money orfunds way of treating it, so maybe people would rather give money or funds to a charity that is raising money for something that could develop treatments. that is also something else you have to persuade people of the value of. there are treatments in trial at the moment that a looking quite promising. a lot of the treatments that have been developed have been aimed at people in the late stages and they haven‘t worked. but we are now getting away from this one track mind about, we thought we knew the cause of alzheimer‘s and now we accept that we don‘t. we are looking for many more options for intervening and accepting that it‘s a complicated illness. helen beaumont, very interesting to talk to you and thank you for your time. you are very welcome. time now to get the news,
