the plastic problem. supermarkets take more action to try and cut waste. in sport: ready to fight come rain or shine. anthonyjoshua prepares to defend his world heavyweight belts with bad weather expected at wembley stadium. back behind the wheel, billy monger returns to racing at donnington park today less than 18 months after a crash there cost him both of his legs. good morning. a cool feel across the uk this weekend. some sunshine and a few showers for more northern areas, but turning wet and windy further south. all the details in about 15 minutes. good morning, thanks forjoining us. it's saturday the 22nd of september. our top story: the head of the eu state leaders, donald tusk, has described theresa may as surprisingly uncompromising after she made a speech demanding respect in the brexit negotiations. mr tusk says the prime

minister has known for weeks about the eu's objections to the chequers proposals, and that her tough position is causing the current stalemate. our political correspondent leila nathoo reports. eu leaders had turned on theresa may at a summit this week, giving her brexit proposals the cold shoulder, bluntly saying they wouldn't work. and so, on her return to london, the prime minister sought to get back on the front foot, striking a defiant tone in a televised statement, saying talks were now at an impasse. at this late stage in the negotiations, it is not acceptable to simply reject the other side's proposals without a detailed explanation and counterproposals. so we now need to hear from the eu what the real issues are, and what their alternative is, so that we can discuss them. until we do, we cannot make progress. it's the plans agreed by the cabinet at the prime minister's country

residence of chequers injuly that theresa may is determined to stick with, but she's yet to convince her own party of their merits, let alone brussels. chequers is neither acceptable to the european union, nor actually to parliament, therefore we need to get on as fast as possible with negotiating a full free trade agreement with the closest possible relationship, because time to achieve a deal is running out. the president of the eu council, donald tusk, responded to say may, saying her stance this week had been surprisingly tough and in fact uncompromising, but he remained convinced a compromise was still possible. the prime minister is under pressure from all sides. it's just weeks before the next summit when a deal is opposed to be reached, and she has what is sure to be a tense gathering of her party to get through too. leila nathoo, bbc news, westminster. our political correspondent matt cole is in our london newsroom.

looking at the front of the newspapers, mixed reaction to the speech and what is happening, but whatever you think about the speech, the pressure is definitely on theresa may? absolutely. as we've said through the brexit process , as we've said through the brexit process, the clock is ticking. steph, i think there's a question as to who yesterday's statement from the prime minister was aimed at. there's a sense across europe, there hasn't been too much response from there, that this was a domestic audience... the strong, firm statement from the prime minister, in stark contrast to the rather shellshocked look she had when she emerged from the salzburg summit, the sense that this was for a domestic audience and many of the brexit is aborting newspapers this morning reflect they like what she says. quite a few brexit supporting mps have been supporting her too —— brexit supporting newspapers. many of the brexit subordinate mps saying

great, you're standing up to the eu, they don't like the chequers plan for different reasons and the eu doesn't like it —— brexit supporting mps. she has to face the cabinet on monday and other mps will come up with their plans, and she is under pressure with the tory party conference on thursday too. thanks, speak to you later. the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, has said a future labour government would be ready to start nationalising key industries from the day it takes office. speaking on the eve of the party's annual conference in liverpool, mr mcdonnell said a new unit would be established in the treasury to oversee the process, and in some cases investors might not be compensated. he predicted that nationalisation of rail services could be completed within five years. the president of tanzania has ordered the arrest of managers of a ferry which capsized on lake victoria, killing over 130 people. it is thought the overloaded vessel tipped over when crowds on board moved to one side as it docked. lebo diseko reports.

it is the worst kind of wait. hundreds of families desperate for news of their loved ones who'd been on board the mv nyerere. and as much as they hoped for the best, some are already preparing for the worst. a community watches as the rescue effort continues, but hope is fading fast. translation: we can't reach my brother. yesterday morning, he spoke to our mum. we've not heard from him since. translation: i was told that i lost my aunt, my father and my younger sibling. it's a huge loss to us. this is what is left of the mv nyerere, its overturned hull floating on the water. lake victoria is africa's largest, and the ferry was travelling between the islands of ukerewe and ukara, capsizing around 50 metres from ukara's shore. it operated a busy schedule, taking people to and from the market.

and while it's not clear exactly how many people were on board, witnesses say it could have been up to 400, that's four times its capacity. it's thought many of the passengers couldn't swim. the president has declared four days of national mourning, and a number of arrests have been made, including the captain, who apparently wasn't on board at the time. lebo diseko, bbc news. donald trump has publicly backed brett kava naugh, his nominee for the supreme court, despite an allegation that he sexual assaulted a woman in 1982. president trump said that mr kava naugh‘s accuser should provide evidence of the alleged assault, and queried why she didn't contact police at the time. he told a rally of supporters in missouri that the appointment would go ahead. and he was born... a woman who was taken to hospital amid fears she had been exposed to the nerve agent novichok in salisbury, has insisted her concern was genuine and was not a hoax.

anna shapiro and her husband alex king sparked a major incident when they said they had become ill at a restaurant in the city on sunday. ms shapiro's lawyers said labelling it a hoax was media speculation. the supermarket chain co—op is scrapping plastic carrier bags from 1,400 of its uk shops today, and replacing them with a compostable version. it's the latest retailer to cut down after the government laid out plans to eradicate all avoidable plastic waste in britain within 25 years, as emma simpson reports. plastic waste — we're drowning in it. around a million tons of plastic is generated by uk supermarkets every year, and they've been coming up with a host of measures to try to stem the tide. take iceland, where plastic packaging is on the way out. from fruit and veg to plastic dishes for ready meals. all its own branded products will have paper or biodegradable packaging within five years.

at morrisons, you can take your own container when you buy meat and fish, and there are now paper bags, not plastic, for loose fruit and veg. black plastic is difficult to recycle, but asda has replaced it for all its fruit and veg. now the co—op has an environmentally friendly alternative for carrying shopping home. these bags will be rolled out in 1,400 stores. all of the major retailers have signed up to a really ambitious commitment under the uk plastics pact, and that's to make 100% of plastics packaging recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2025. so all of them are working incredibly hard and fast to meet those objectives. it's not just retailers, all businesses are now under pressure to act. since the world has woken up to the scourge of plastic pollution. emma simpson, bbc news. racing driver billy monger

is preparing to return to donnington park today, less than 18 months after a near fatal crash there cost him both of his legs. it's quite a story. aided by a specially adapted car, which hits speeds of up to 150mph, the 19—year—old is hoping to finish on the podium. reporter angela rafferty has been to meet him. it's hard to believe it's been just 18 months since the horrific crash that almost cost him his life and left him a double amputee. billy monger‘s recovery has been truly remarkable. this weekend, he returns for the first time to race at the track where this life was changed forever. my memories of the accident and from donington are quite strong. like, i remembera lot. i don't tend to really think about it too much nowadays, which is quite nice. the motor racing world rallied round the teenage driver, but support for billy came from far and wide. £800,000 was donated to his fund within days of his crash, an outpouring of affection that meant so much. for me at that stage mentally was probably the toughest time, so to have that positivity keep

coming through the whole time i was in hospital meant a lot. this determination to return to racing saw him back behind the wheel11 weeks after this accident. in his first season racing in formula 3, he's already made the podium, and celebrated in this own inimitable style. it might come back out if i win races, that's what i'm going to say, if i win races this weekend, for sure, you'll see it again. billy's boyhood dream of racing in formula 1 remains the same, and back at the track where everything changed, he's focused on just one thing. for me it's all about getting the results this week. as much as this place has a special and weird emotion that it brings out in me, when i get in the car, it's all about driving as fast as i can. angela rafferty, bbc news. good luck to billy. wouldn't that be

a brilliant story to end up on the podium today? good luck to him. a huge hive of more than 60,000 bees have been found in the roof of a hospital in cambridge. i can't even picture that! experts say the colony had probably been there for several years, and it took them over 12 hours to remove them. staff at the fulborn hospital said that honey had been oozing from gaps in the brick and plaster in cambridge. that's something, isn't it? madgen seeing that, you would wonder what on earth is going on. -- imagine seeing that. the hive has now been relocated to a field in lancashire, a p pa re ntly apparently be where the bees will live in peace. you wouldn't want to pass that on the motorway. how many babies were called bee last year? you can put your name in on the bbc website and

your name in on the bbc website and you can find out how many had your name. eight girls were given the name. eight girls were given the name bee last year. there were 149 alina. alina is doing the weather for us. i will tell you alina. alina is doing the weather for us. iwill tell you how alina. alina is doing the weather for us. i will tell you how many we re for us. i will tell you how many were called summer, kate autumn, winter. good morning. good morning to you all. it is a fairly cool weekend, there will be sunshine around with some showers, especially further north you are, however, further south is much more wet and windy for a time. so here is today's rain from the south—west, making its presence felt in south—west wales and south—west england, showers running ahead of that and the wrangle work eastwards through the day. the northern extent of this will be northern wales, the midlands into northern east anglia, ahead of it cloud and showers, the best of the sunshine across eastern

scotland, showers piling into western scotland and northern ireland and quite blustery across the western isles of scotland with winds of 45 mph, temperatures no great shakes, 12 to 16 celsius, 18 01’ great shakes, 12 to 16 celsius, 18 or19 in the great shakes, 12 to 16 celsius, 18 or 19 in the channel islands with some rain, continuing to work eastwards through this evening, easing off overnight before more a rise in the west later. elsewhere mainly dry and showers across northern and western scotland and also clear skies for eastern scotland, northern england and northern ireland, so fairly chilly here with temperatures in places close to freezing. more rain tomorrow in central and southern england, but to the west pressure builds, so through the afternoon something drier arriving from the west and are fairly wet morning across southern england and wales. further north, blustery showers feeding down on the brisk north—westerly wind, which could be quite gusty as the rain clears. temperatures tomorrow, 11 to 16

celsius the top temperature but really quite blustery across east anglia and south—east england as the back edge of the rain clears away. through sunday evening, the rain will clear eastwards, most of the showers fade away, a few in northern scotland, fairly brisk winds, starting to ease slowly as high pressure builds in. it will be a chilly start on monday but we have a feed of moisture coming in from the atla ntic feed of moisture coming in from the atlantic and affecting parts of northern scotland, so that is going to generate showers on monday afternoon. further south it is looking mainly dry with some sunshine. the wind will be light, so foremost it is quieter site to the new week —— start to the new week. thank you. labour is promising to put equality centre stage at its national women's conference today, on the eve of its annual meeting in liverpool, where debates over brexit and the future of the party are expected to dominate. later, shadow women and equalities minister dawn butler will unveil plans to support victims of domestic abuse.

she joins us now from liverpool. good morning, thank you forjoining us on good morning, thank you forjoining us on breakfast this morning. you're going to describe domestic abuse as an epidemic, that is quite a claim, those are strong words. it is u nfortu nately, those are strong words. it is unfortunately, and sadly true, the office of national statistics report, latest report, shows that at least 1.2 million women have been affected by domestic abuse between 2016 and 2017, and that's just women. and it is an under estimation that doesn't include all the other people, like men. so there's been a new employment law in many countries, but new zealand is one of them, which says to employers, allow ten days paid leave for people,

victims of domestic abuse, and the thing is this — the reality is this — that two women a week are killed by their partner or former partner. so, these ten days could literally save the lives of those women. a lot of people will hear about that, giving some sort of paid leave to women who have been victims and will applaud that idea. but it doesn't necessarily tackle the problem of the domestic abuse in the first place. what plans do you have to try to stop it happening? so we have a whole measure of things in this policy and it is about prevention, protection and support. so, recognising the signs of domestic abuse, talking about domestic abuse. and one of the ways we can start getting people to open up about it,

and start to get it eliminated in society. we have to tackle the justice system, in terms of when it has been reported. we have to make victims of domestic abuse feel safe and secure enough to come forward. and when we start to do those things it means we can start eradicating the problem and that is what we are about as a labour party, making the environment and the country safer for people and ensuring that there is no more violence against women and girls. we would talk about having a commissioner in the area that would look at this area in a lot of detail. so there's a lot of things to do in terms of making sure that there is prevention, protection and support for victims of domestic violence. so we have a whole package of measures and this is one of them. tougher prison sentences, what about that? the employers' duty of care. what about tougher prison sentences,

is that an option? yes, notjust half prison sentences, but making sure that people who are committing these violent acts are held responsible. for too often, the criminal justice system responsible. for too often, the criminaljustice system lets down women and it is time for that to change. we have to make sure that women are respected when they go through the justice system. and far too often they are not. and that's why it is not reported. and that's why it is not reported. and that's why sometimes we have the spiralling of things, where the person who commits these crimes are allowed to do it again and again. it is a known fa ct do it again and again. it is a known fact that women often get hit or beaten at least 30 times before they report a case, and what we want to make sure is that if it happens once that person gets a chance to leave that person gets a chance to leave that abusive partner and set up a safe life for their cells, their children and their pets —— for

themselves. absolutely the criminal justice system is part of it as well. and that's why the labour party will have a stand—alone qualities department and this department will work across all the departments and make sure that we are considering the quality throughout every piece of this legislation. the labour party will talk a lot about the quality today and throughout the conference when it begins and people will look from the outside wondering what you're going to say about brexit. particularly that discussion about whether there should be another referendum on any deal that theresa may comes back with. when is the party, when willjeremy corbyn commit to, or not, another referendum? well, we've been very clear as a labour party what we want to see happen. so keir starmer and his brexit team from the very beginning, and sometimes i think we

need to look right back to day one when keir starmer were very studious, they started the documents and the paperwork and they said, this is what we need to do for the country. and keir starmer had six tests a nd country. and keir starmer had six tests and he said if they are not met then the labour party will not vote for the deal. and he said that right from the very beginning. that has been extremely consistent. what we have said is this — if we don't vote for the deal, what we want to see, what we want the people of the country to be able to do, is to vote ona country to be able to do, is to vote on a package of measures and to vote on a package of measures and to vote on the team that will do the negotiating for brexit. the time is running out on the negotiating. sorry, there is a delay on that. the time is running out on the negotiating. a lot of people think the idea of having some extra friend, that that could clarify, might be the only way to clarify,

and they want to know if labour will back that idea or not and you say that labour have been clear but there are at the mixed messages about whether labour support the idea of another referendum not. do you support it or not? and has not been mixed messages and you are correct on one thing — the time is running out for theresa may. she is the one doing the negotiations. the time is running out for theresa may. the time isn't running out for the labour party. what we have said is we wa nt labour party. what we have said is we want to have a general election so we want to have a general election so that people can vote on a whole measure of things. and if there is no general election that we haven't taken anything off the table. but the time is running out for theresa may. the time is ticking. she has thrown from the very beginning that she is incapable of delivering a good dealfor this she is incapable of delivering a good deal for this country and that is what people should be focusing on and that is what people should be angry about. she has wasted all the

time she has been given to come out with a good deal. i spent 20 years negotiating as a train union official and i have never met someone official and i have never met someone in in all my life. we have to go now. we will be talking to you and many of your colleagues over the next few days as the debates continue for labour. have you thought about all of the tests that you would have to do to get into the army? it would be really difficult. for the first time in 20 years the british army is introducing new physical tests for soldiers. press ups, sit ups and eight mile marches are out, and exercises replicating the battlefield are in. the changes also coincide with a lifting of the ban on women serving in close combat roles. so are the new tests any easier? our defence correspondent jonathan beale went to find out. the old test was carrying a big wei

like this, 25 kg over eight miles in two hours. —— weight. the new test we are told will simulate conditions in battle and they are meant to be harder, not easier. so i am about to have a go. the idea of this is to simulate extraction of a casualty after a fight. piece of cake. what i have here is a repeated lifting carrie, it is a task moving at 20 kg obstacle from one side to another site. you are going to do 50 kg, run around the corner and back to the person, onto the platform safely. then you are going to turn around and run back to simulate running back. the combat is gritty, it is dirty, it is hard work and running one and a half miles in trainers just doesn't represent what i do on the battlefield, whereas lifting,

carrying ammunition, sandbags, dragging casualties, moving under fire, that is all things we expect combat troops to deal with.|j fire, that is all things we expect combat troops to deal with. i think it is difficult for a lot of females. those choosing to go that route i am sure they would be fit enough to pass the test. this is not a test, you don't think, that is designed to make it easierfor women? definitely not, no. these new army tests make no allowance for gender or age, which is a shame for me. i managed to completejust a quarter of the test. yes! well, he had a go, didn't he? did he get thejob? well, he had a go, didn't he? did he get the job? he enjoyed well, he had a go, didn't he? did he get thejob? he enjoyed it. is he in 01’ get thejob? he enjoyed it. is he in or not? i don't know. the time is 7:25am. when we check our luggage in at the airport we generally expect it to make it on and off the plane in one piece. you would assume. however this week footage emerged showing one baggage handler at manchester airport throwing

suitcases at a luggage trolley in full view of passengers. i ,it , it fell off the back! it has a of attention online. how common is this? we'll speak to travel expert simon calder about this in a second, but first let's take a look at what happened. isn't it counter—productive if it just goes over the back of the thing anyway? yeah. simon, is it common, is it going on? well, according to swissport, the baggage handling company working on the baggage handling at ryanair, they say it is unusual and they know that they shouldn't do this. it is completely counter—productive. shouldn't do this. it is completely counter— productive. it shouldn't do this. it is completely counter—productive. it is all going to end up on the floor and they have to end up on the floor and they have to tidy it up. of course, passengers would be forgiven for thinking if they are doing that in full view of they are doing that in full view of the passengers, what is happening behind—the—scenes? manchester airport and swissport explained that they are very concerned about this. swissport very disappointed, they launched an investigation and they

will use the incident to remind baggage handlers that you don't do that. of course as passengers we don't expect someone to carry around the bags, but you do expect it to be treated with a bit of respect.“ someone opens treated with a bit of respect.“ someone opens the bags and they go on holiday and, i don't know, like a hairdryer, if something is broken, you would assume it was your fault for the way that you pack it. you would never think it would be handled like that. and in this case, people who can see their case being thrown around, if they have damage, it wouldn't simply be limited by the montreal convention, which says you are montreal convention, which says you a re allowed montreal convention, which says you are allowed to have about £1200, you could say under the consumer rights act you didn't handle this with reasonable care, so i need more cash, but it is a warning to people that anything you check in you have to assume could be broken and actually more likelyjust get lost

and you will never see it again. and bear it in the if anything goes down the conveyor belt. how do you know if it is something you can try to get compensation for. what does your to look like? normal wear and tear is not a case for compensation. if you have things like bottles of wine in the suitcase, good luck with that. i have done that before. with the limits on liquids, that is more common than it used to be, isn't it, not just common than it used to be, isn't it, notjust whine. make-up artists have to take bottles of stuff around. they have to check it in because they can't get through the liquids rules. lots people watching those things saving, help, what are we supposed to do? of course the baggage handlers are under great pressure, they have to turn around the ryanair plane in 25 minutes, get the ryanair plane in 25 minutes, get the bags off and on, and they work very ha rd the bags off and on, and they work very hard in very difficult circumstances, but, yes, very upsetting and alarming for passengers. and i assume there are a

lot of baggage handlers who are annoyed at seeing that footage. lot of baggage handlers who are annoyed at seeing that footagem course. the vast majority of them are very good and very professional and they will be appalled that their colleagues have done that. but of course more of us colleagues have done that. but of course more of us have to check in the bags because ryanair, the biggest budget airline in europe, from first of november will say we have to reduce the amount of free cabin baggage by two thirds are less you cabin baggage by two thirds are less you pay cabin baggage by two thirds are less you pay extra for it. so more people will be consigning their backs to the tender mercies of the baggage handlers. so if your bag is battered and things are damaged inside is it worth trying to get compensation?” am sorry to use this terrible thing, it is not a pun, on a case—by—case basis. you will need to make a case, make it clear what you have, why it was reasonable to do that, and lots of people, the baggage company, or the airline who has to pay you, they are going to say, produce receipts and show us what it costs. and it

depends on how they handle that case as well. yes. and you will be with us as well. yes. and you will be with us later to answer the questions. thank you. and let us know it has happened to you. maybe you are not shocked at all and you have seen it yourself. maybe you think it is a rare example and you have fantastic stories of how your stuff survived yourair stories of how your stuff survived your air journeys. stories of how your stuff survived your airjourneys. let us know. hello, this is breakfast with jon kay and steph mcgovern. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. the head of the eu state leaders, donald tusk, has described theresa may as surprisingly uncompromising after she made a speech demanding respect in the brexit negotiations. mr tusk says the prime minister has known for weeks about the eu's objections to the chequers proposals and that her tough position is causing the current stalemate. but mrs may says the eu must make a counter offer. throughout this process, i have

treated the eu with nothing but respect. the uk expects the same. a good relationship at the end of this process depends on it. at this late stage in the negotiations, it is not accept double two simply reject the other side's proposals without a detailed explanation and counterproposals —— it is not accept double to. -- it is not acceptable. the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, has said a future labour government would be ready to start nationalising key industries from the day it takes office. speaking on the eve of the party's annual conference in liverpool, mr mcdonnell said a new unit would be established in the treasury to oversee the process, and in some cases investors might not be compensated. he predicted that nationalisation of rail services could be completed within five years. the president of tanzania has ordered the arrest of managers of a ferry which capsized on lake victoria, killing over 130 people.

local media say the ferry‘s official capacity was 100 people, but officials say the vessel was carrying more than 400 passengers when it capsized. it is thought it tipped over when crowds on board moved to one side as it docked. a woman who was taken to hospital amid fears she had been exposed to the nerve agent novichok in salisbury, has insisted her concern was genuine and was not a hoax. anna shapiro and her husband alex king sparked a major incident when they said they had become ill at a restaurant in the city on sunday. ms shapiro's lawyers said labelling it a hoax was media speculation. twitter is telling an undisclosed number of users that their private messages may have been leaked to third parties for more than a year. the firm insists the problem has now been fixed. the glitch involved direct messages between users and businesses that offer customer services through twitter. the supermarket chain co—op is scrapping plastic carrier bags

from 1,400 of its uk shops today, and replacing them with a compostable version. it's also pledged to remove plastic packaging from its own brand ranges by 2020. co—op is the latest retailer to cut down after the government laid out plans to eradicate all avoidable plastic waste in britain within 25 years. the church of england has decided not to get involved in a buyout of the pay day lender wonga, which has gone into administration. informal talks between the church and potential investors have ta ken place during the week. five years ago, the archbishop of canterbury, justin welby, vowed to put wonga out of business. those are this morning has passed main news stories. alina will be here with the weather for the weekend shortly. —— this morning's main news stories. you know what

strikes me about that story anthony joshua's list compared to povetkin's? madgen those knuckles in the chops! no thanks! -- imagine those knuckles in the chops. and the headphones! they're those knuckles in the chops. and the headphones! they‘ re not those knuckles in the chops. and the headphones! they're not part of him, they're not going to hit you in the face! they could be getting wet but the fans are expected to fill up wembley stadium for anthonyjoshua's latest world title defence. he looks in pretty decent shape too ahead of his fight with russian alexander povetkin. the forecast is a little indifferent so fans can expect to be a bit soggy. one of the sponsors has stepped in to help though! they've bought these little ponchos that you wear, and all that, for, like, 20,000 or 30,000 of them, and giving them out for free. so it's good. so rain or not, you'll be safe. just wrap up warm and have a good time. the crowd may be in ponchos, what about the commentary team? we're joined now by bbc radio 5 live boxing commentator, steve bunce.

thanks forjoining us. i hope you don't get too wet tonight. reading a lot about this before speaking to you, all over the papers and the internet, as you would expect. lots saying this is the biggest fight of joshua's career, is that true or the normal hype before a big fight? people might say the fight last april when 90,000 people packed the national stadium for him to fight vladimir klitschko was the hardest fight, but i think this is harder. there is something brutal, brutish and really hard about alexander the povetkin. is a lot shorter, as you alluded to —— alexander povetkin —— he's a lot shorter. he has smaller hands. you can gauge everything aboutjoshua hands. you can gauge everything about joshua is hands. you can gauge everything aboutjoshua is bigger, everything aboutjoshua is bigger, everything about povetkin is smaller and it's been that way for 15 years. that makes him an expert at fighting big

guys, makes him an expert at fighting big guys, because every time little alexander povetkin gets in the ring, he takes off this robe, he's a bit chubby and he turns around and in the opposite corner is a man mountain. he is used to big guys. has a great formula for beating them. joshua and robert mccracken, this trainer, they are very nervous and wary of the fight tonight. -- this trainer. the crowd at wembley will be on joshua's this trainer. the crowd at wembley will be onjoshua's side but that's because povetkin will be the victim after those two failed drugs test in 2016. some saying he should be banned for life. some are saying that. we have a growing problem, just like cycling and athletics in the nineties. we have a growing problem, failing tests for good old—fashioned steroids. not fancy steroids orfancy old—fashioned steroids. not fancy steroids or fancy peds, straight out

of the east german laboratories in the 1960s and 1970s and they are failing tests. serving six or 12—month bans and coming back. we will have to come back and look at this. povetkin is clean, he's been tested seven or eight times in ten or 12 days since he arrived in the country and that's the best we can do at the moment. lots of people saying you have more to gain than lose from doping in boxing at the moment. steve, we have a newjoshua, he gets up before this alarm... he gets up and trains without setting an alarm, all part of this new training scheme, doesn't get up at the crack of dawn to train. he has a new approach, is this going to be the secret to beating povetkin later today? joshua does but i'm not a big lover of that. the reason why boxers get up at 5am when it's raining and when we are still in bed tucked up with our teddy bears and loved ones

is simple, it is so on fight night they can plug back into that anger and aggressiveness of getting up in the rain and running along canals and dodging dogs and jumping over dog who. that's why they get up in the morning, to give them that mindset. if they get up at 10am, they're like not normal —— dog who -- if they're like not normal —— dog who —— if they get up at 10am there like normal people, and they're not normal people, and they're not normal people. it works! jumping the dog who is the secret to success. stay dry this evening and we will all be tuning in to see.” stay dry this evening and we will all be tuning in to see. i love the idea of steve tucked up with this teddy bear. he went been, i can assure you! —— he won't be, i can assure you! —— he won't be, i can assure you. only two premier league sides still have a 100% record for the season, chelsea, who play west ham tomorrow, and liverpool, who take on southampton at anfield this afternoon. managerjurgen klopp says the club don't expect mo salah to replicate his form of last season, when he scored 44 times. he only has two to his name in six matches so far,

but klopp isn't worried. it's really no problem. we constantly have to deal with the new situations. people are very positive about this player, about this player, about this player, and i have to decide, "do i talk to them about that or not?" "do i leave them alone in that situation. do i talk to them?" all that stuff, it's always like this. but with mo, it's fine. sam simmonds scored two tries for exeter to help them maintain their perfect start to the premiership rugby season the england forward is the league's joint top—scorer, as exeter remain top of the table after they beat newcastle 24—17. willis halaholo was man of the match for cardiff, creating two tries and scoring one of his own as they beat munster 37—13 in the pro14. ulster are still unbeaten, but only just. a very late henry speight try earned them a point away to cheetahs in bloemfontein. it was a 10—try thriller, ending 39—39. as we head towards the ryder cup, we already have a europe versus usa contest on our hands at the tour championship in atlanta.

justin rose and tiger woods are tied for the lead on 7—under par. woods cheered all the way round. rose is playing in his first tournament as world number one, and he'll collect over $11 million if he wins. but now, 60 has been broken for the first time on the european tour. england's 0li fisher shot the first ever 59 at the portuguese masters. he had a tap—in for the lowest round ever recorded on the tour. how is that for a claim to fame? brilliant. for now, kat, thank you very much. it is what dreams are made of. your dreams! let's stay with the sporting theme... think sprinting, but vertically up a wall rather than along a track. speed climbing will be one of the new sports at the 2020 olympics. for britain's big hope shauna coxsey, that means a steep learning curve. we sent mike to edinburgh to see what it takes. it's the new olympic race that drives athletes up the wall. shauna coxsey may be the world

bouldering champion, but to win an olympic medal, she must master all three disciplines, including speed climbing. it's head—to—head, first to the top. and it can be really close, but luckily you hit a buzzer at the top and your time flashes up. the winner's in green and the loser‘s in red. it's something that i'm not familiar with anyway because i've never experienced that before. i've never had to race somebody. for me, climbing is all about you and the route, but now it's something totally different. but, yeah, i love it so much. it's really good fun. one of the great secrets to shauna's success is that she's got her own finger strength coach, and they do workouts on this, it's called a beast maker. apparently you can hold yourself... you're alright down there? that's the idea, shauna, you can show how it's done. it is incredible you have all that strength in your little fingers? i do hangs and i can hang off with one arm. i'm a little guy, which is not very big. wow.

finger strength is so vital because it is your contact with the wall. there's nothing to hold on to, though. then you've got to take one off. oh, look at that! its introduction to the olympics has really given speed climbing a new lease of life. there are 50 of these clip n climb walls now across the uk, where beginners can simply turn up, race each other up the wall and get experience before they tackle the more extreme rock faces. you look at this and it's all bright and colourful and you think, how good that would be for kids? but it's actually so good for adults too. even for me, i get to be a big kid and have a good time and it's really good fun, as you're about to experience. he's gone, he's disappeared! into the horizon! there's one thing concentrating on climbing, the other thing

is trying to do it quickly. he's almost at the top. i'm not far off, i don't think. don't look down. oh, dear. i'm starting to wobble now. this just doesn't feel natural. oh, i've finally pressed the button at the top. how do i get down? just let go. how do i get down? let go, let go! oh, you have to let go, do you? put both hands on the rope. down to earth. crash landing there! then when you're ready to go up an olympic—standard wall, 50ft up, plus a 7% incline trying to throw you off. the world record on a wall like this is just over five seconds. and wow, they've done it in 12. incredible the way they leap up the wall. and just to show how hard this olympic wall is,

look, this is my starting attempt to get up. off we go... and that second—hand point... mike bushell, for bbc news, on a bit of a downer in scotland. laughter. five seconds! i can't even get out of this chair in five seconds, never mind up a wall!“ get out of this chair in five seconds, never mind up a wall! it is quite high, isn't it? alina has the weather for us this morning. quite high, isn't it? alina has the weatherfor us this morning. those dark clouds, but the worst of the storm has passed. yes, good morning. turbulent weather this weekend, perhaps not as windy as recent days, but it will be cool for all of us and some rain across southern parts of the uk, coming in courtesy of this bank of cloud working into wales, south—west and southern england, and it will work gradually

eastwards this morning. now, the northern extent of this rain, through northern wales, the midlands, northern areas of east anglia. so, a lot of cloud ahead of this, frequent across the western isles scotland, where it will be blustery this morning. the best of any sunshine across eastern scotland at north—east england, where it should be mainly dry. temperatures perhaps only getting up to 12 to 16 celsius for most of us. 18 or 19 for the eternal islands. there will be rain here. the rain will track eastwards later on, easing off for a time, and more returning to the west later. also, mainly dry. spills into northern and western scotland. eastern areas of scotland could be close to freezing. it is a chilly nights away from the south. and we have more rain to come tomorrow for central, southern england and wales. it should scoot away fairly swiftly. through the afternoon, something bright coming from the west, but

certainly quite wet through the morning. showers for northern ireland, northern and western scotland, feeding into northern england. there will be some good spells of sunshine as the rain clears. still, fairly cool, temperatures not much higher than 14 or 15 celsius. and also some gusty wind as the rain clears the way through part of east anglia and south—east england with wind of up to 40- 45 south—east england with wind of up to 40— 45 mph. then things calm down tomorrow evening, the rain will clear away a side from showers in northern scotland, most will have a dry night with light wind and it will be quite chilly as well, the wind coming from the north or the north—west and that will feed a few showers into parts of northern and western scotland on monday. perhaps one or two filtering away further south. but for most on monday, light wind, dry, spells of sunshine, a chilly start, though, and temperatures in the afternoon won't be much higher than 14 or 15

celsius, perhaps 16 in southern counties of england. for the week ahead, it is a cool start, dry in southern areas of the uk, further north it will be windy at times, but temperatures perhaps just rising a little bit later in the week. thank you. it sounds a little more calm next week. 7:47am. now it's time for newswatch. this week, samira ahmed looks at the bbc‘s brexit coverage. or, you guessed it. it is always that. hello and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. bbc news tries to answer viewers' questions about brexit but is that mission impossible? and with panorama invited inside number ten, was it doing too much pr for the pm? over the past few days, bbc news has set about a challenging of answering in a clear and objective way some of the many questions people have about the process of leaving the european union. on tv, radio and online.

how will trade work after brexit? what will brexit mean for the union? will it happen? why haven't we left yet? all week journalists trod a delicate path through the economic, bureaucratic, constitutional and political implications of brexit, but some members of the audience thought that approach was fundamentally flawed. here's michaeljordan. and this caller to our telephone line. it is anthony hooper from milton keynes here. yesterday morning was the same thing we have had for 2.5 years now, people expressing their opinions on brussels, brexit and what's going to happen and what might happen, doom and gloom, it went on and on.

it's people's fears and hopes, but mainly fears, the most depressing thing of all. please, try to get away and tell us actual facts on what the agreements are or are not. before the trip to salzburg this week, theresa may gave special access to her routine at number ten to today presenter and former political editor nick robinson — it was all for monday night's panorama. the deadline's looming. theresa may has just got weeks left to secure a brexit deal with the eu and to get it through parliament. for the last fortnight, we have been filming with her behind—the—scenes. morning, nick. good morning, prime minister. thank you for the lift. rare access to the prime minister, but was there an ethical cost? some viewers thought so,

describing the programme as obsequious and a puff piece for theresa may. wg saraban thought it was... i'm joined now by nick robinson in the westminster studio. thank you for coming on newswatch. you spent quite a bit of time with the prime minister last week, you were travelling in her car, you eavesdropped on meetings, you even sat with her and her husband watching a quizz show. what sort of deal did you do to get that access? when you say a deal it's no different to any interview with a senior politician. we say we want an interview and they say we are prepared to be in an interview on this date and in these circumstances. obviously in this case we said, could we have some access as well, some behind—the—scenes access, and we got more access than you would normally get. but we were explicit in the script, i was explicit in writing when i wrote about this and i have talked about it,

that obviously access is really what they want to give you. and indeed we showed in panorama at one stage how we were filming the beginning of a cabinet meeting on no—deal preparation and then we were thrown out and the door was closed. my feeling always is that access is fine to do on tv provided you are explicit with the audience about what you are seeing and what you are not. presumably, though, the prime minister's director of communications robbie gibb would have played a part in arranging this, he used to run bbc westminster, some are very uncomfortable about this, you are effectively doing the prime minister's pr for her. frankly it is an absurd criticism. any politician who comes to do the interview is doing it because they have a purpose and they want to communicate a message. they are doing it at a time of their choosing otherwise because of course if they didn't want to do it, they wouldn't agree to do it in the first place. they are doing it because they want to get the message across. they choose what they say when their mouth open.

any arrangement to do any programme is of course partly on the terms of the politician and their spin doctors, press officers, director of communications, call them what you will. what we as journalists have to decide is, is there an interest for our viewers, our listeners, is there interest for those who want to see these people, and i think to see the prime minister questioned on the criticisms of the chequers deal that she had, from remainers and coming from leavers, criticisms from within her own party that might deny her the majority, those are questions worth putting, and i did put them and therefore i felt it was a programme worth doing. it was all also interesting seeing this week seeing you and other journalists directly answering viewer questions about brexit. what was the thinking behind that? the thinking was that wherever you go around if you do my sort ofjob, if you do the job of senior editors at the bbc, people will stop you on the street and say we don't really understand this. and this particular set of items

came from a conversation i had ina shop, i was eyeing a cheap plug in maplan, when it was about to close down, and a guy came and said, nick, why haven't we left? i don't understand it. and ifound myself explaining to him and enjoying the process of saying to him, look, you're not hearing this on air? are we not explaining this on air? he said to me you have been clearer in this conversation than anything i have seen. so i went to the 10pm news and said, how about i make this conversation as a piece? and it seems to me every so often we need to correct ourselves and say, we are in too deep, we know too much detail, pull back and try to explain it in a way that people will follow more easily. with all these questions, some viewers feel that the bbc has focused too much on the potential problems and pitfalls, and that can seem anti—brexit. well, there are certainly people say that, why do you follow this forecast, or that warning,

or that projection, are you not being sort of anti—brexit as a result? the answer to that is, that is ourjob, it is ourjob to report on the warnings made by authorities, whether it is the imf or the bank of england, the warning from the biggest companies in the land, for example jaguar—land rover, again, something i put to the prime minister and other people this week. it is ourjob to warn about it. clearly, in the process, we have to also say to people there is a difference between a worry, a concern, a forecast, and a fact. forecasts are not facts. that's not what they are. but i think to say that we ought to be positive about brexit, to say we should be cheerleaders for brexit, to say we should be patriotic, which sometimes people do, is to misunderstand the role of a journalist. it is not the role of a journalist to be on one team or another. we don't wear the scarf, we don't sing the songs, it is ourjob to report on the match, to do it fairly

and, if you hear things you don't like, i am afraid that is the nature of bbcjournalism. you are going to hear people you don't like saying things you don't agree with. the political pressure for another referendum is getting more and more airtime. can you see why some viewers feel it is effectively supporting it? no, i can't see that at all. that is again to misunderstand how reporting on something is advocating something. if we report there are calls for a second referendum it is not the bbc taking a position on whether there should or should not be another vote. it is reporting. that is what reporting is. the truth is there is now a highly organised campaign for what they call a people's vote. there is evidence in the opinion polls of it picking up some support. there are some prominent politicians, justine greening for example, former education secretary, coming out in support of it. it is ourjob to report it. it is not ourjob to say that because it might offend people who don't want a second referendum,

or who voted leave, while reporting calls for a second referendum, report on the objections to it. nick robinson, thank you. we featured complaints last week about what was seen as the excessive emphasis given to the buildup to hurricane florence. when florence downgraded to a tropical storm hit the east coast of the united states on friday, chris buckler was in the eye of the storm. people might have been briefly relieved, but the truth is the wind is still strong enough to knock you over and it is going to remain like that for some time. the particular concern is of course about the rainfall and the flooding as the storm surges continue. the problem with hurricane florence is that it is hovering over this area and will do so throughout the weekend. and that means people need

to continue to be aware of florence and aware of the damage she could do. in case you couldn't hear that, the message was that the wind was strong enough to knock you over, which led some viewers to wonder, as newswatch viewers do every us hurricane season, whether the risks presented to chris buckler and his crew by broadcasting there was well worth taking. helen webb wrote... and rosemary millican called the broadcast sensationalism... well, bbc news told us... finally, sometimes things even go wrong on newswatch.

if you are watching last friday night's transmission on the news channel you would have seen me rudely interrupted while reading out an e—mail. get off my set. get your gravitas back and report proper news. philip cox spotted that and tweeted. .. sorry to disappoint you, phillip, that wasn't me reading the autocue, it was just an unplanned short of what was happening in the studio while the recording of our programme, which isn't live, was played. let's hope you get the full version this week. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions on bbc news and current affairs, or even appear on the programme,

you can call us on... 0ryou can e—mail... you can find us on twitter... and have a look at our website... that's all from us. we will be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye. good morning. it's saturday. welcome to breakfast with steph mcgovern and jon kay. our headlines today: tough talk — but what happens now? the eu brands theresa may "uncompromising" after she demands respect in brexit negotiations. a country in mourning after more than 130 people die
