this is bbc news, i'm rachel schofield. the headlines at 8pm: theresa may tells her ministers to hold their nerve in the impasse with the european union over her brexit plans. it comes as new guidance from the government warns airline and coach passengers travelling to the eu could face disruption in the event of a no—deal brexit. a day of confusion and disagreement for labour over their policy on whether there should be another referendum on brexit. we accessed the last referendum, we wa nt we accessed the last referendum, we want a general action, every cannot get that, we want some form of democratic option, that could be a people's vote. a public inquiry begins into the contaminated blood scandal —— which is estimated to have killed nearly 3 thousand people since the 1970s. the father of a teenage girl who died after a severe allergic reaction tells an inquest how she pleaded for help before losing consciousness. also coming up — the pioneering

radiotherapy machine that might transform treatment for cancer patients. the device, at the royal marsden hospital allows doctors to see tumours as they administer radiotherapy to them and a rubbish idea? a council in wales becomes the first to collect general household waste — just once a month. the prime minister has told her minsters that they must hold their nerve in the brexit negotiations with europe. it comes amid disagreements within the conservative party over what form brexit will take, with leading tory brexiteers urging theresa may to pursue a free trade agreement along the lines of that between the eu and canada rather than the current chequers plan.

in a cabinet meeting this afternoon, the prime minister updated ministers on last week's salzburg summit, and said "now is the time to hold our nerve". she said the government's chequers plan was the only viable plan on the table, and that she remains confident of securing a deal with the eu. mrs may added that at the same time, the government would continue to sensibly plan for a no—deal scenario. brexit secretary dominic raab tonight echoed the prime minister's message saying the government would remain calm over negotiations. we will keep negotiating in good faith, we respect differing views gci’oss faith, we respect differing views across the board. we will not suddenly throw up our hands in despair because of a bump on the road. we will keep calm, hold our nerve. breaking news, as we look at

the way the fallout from the salzburg negotiations has been playing out. a member of the european parliament, former belgian prime minister, some might say self appointed brexit negotiator for the european parliament, has been meeting with theresa may at downing street this afternoon, and downing street this afternoon, and downing street had put out some information on that meeting, they say that the prime minister briefed him on what her thoughts were on the commitment to guaranteeing the rights of 3 million eu citizens in the uk any unlikely event that the uk dce you without a deal. she thanked him for his efforts to engage member states on the rights of british nationals living in the eu. that is a key issue within these negotiations, but even bigger of course we know those outstanding issues, the future economic partnership and northern

ireland backstop, those were very much on the agenda. theresa may underlining the need to ensure frictionless trade between the eu and the uk. in order to find a solution to the northern ireland border and maintain the constitutional integrity of the uk. theresa may agrees with him that the best solution to the northern ireland border would be found through the future relationship post stop a summary that, theresa may confirming that the government would bring further proposals on the northern ireland backstop. a commitment to resolve these issues ina timely commitment to resolve these issues in a timely fashion, so that agreements could be discussed and ratified by the uk and european parliaments. every doubt of the meeting in ten downing st this afternoon. —— a readout. well it's been a day of confusion and disagreement for the labour party on brexit and whether there should be another referendum. last night, labour members finalised a motion to keep all options open regarding brexit.

but today seniorfigures at the party conference in liverpool have been divided as to whether people would be offered the chance to vote to remain in the eu. tonight, labour's been forced to clarify its position, as our political editor laura kuenssberg reports from liverpool. there's a lot of small print. our political parties are not finding brexit easy to work out. labour has even got itself confused. they say they might give all of us another vote, but can they explain on precisely what? your campaign for another vote, would it be for a vote on what to do or a vote to stay in or stay out? it would be on the deal and parliament would then determine the form of words on that as they always do. we will campaign for a vote on the deal itself. but you are suggesting a vote on the deal, not a vote to stay in or to leave? no, we respect the original referendum. that is not exactly what the deputy leader says. a people's vote would be decided by a consensus of mps from all parties and in those

circumstances they would have to reach a compromise and that might mean that remain is on the ballot paper. so there is still a possibility in your view that there could be another referendum on whether to stay or go? that is the inevitable logic. what is going on? late last night party members thrashed it out. they want the option of another referendum that could give the country the choice of staying in. the man behind that was rather keen to set the story straight. the decision was to leave the question open and not rule out anything and not rule out remain. but who should voters listen to then, the shadow chancellor who says there would not be another referendum with remain on the table, or you and your colleagues who say they may well be the option of remaining? the important thing is the meeting last night was a meeting of delegates. i was there in the room and nothing was being ruled out including the option of remaining. so labour might maybe push for another referendum on whether we should leave or stay in the european union. they cannot tell you exactly

when or how because no one here in liverpool, in westminster or frankly anywhere else, can tell you precisely what happens next. in the whole brexit saga. do you still back the prime minister's plan? publicly, the cabinet is just about sticking to the prime minister's so—called chequers plan. what about a new referendum? her compromise that would keep parts of the economy closely tied to the eu. privately, though, many tories are riven with doubts and the prime minister knows it. i have never said that this was going to be an easy process. these are tough negotiations. and as we enter the final straits of those negotiations of course it comes in many ways even tougher. tough doesn't really cover it. when guess who is overtly campaigning to get her to shift her plans. under the chequers plan you lose control. of your laws. your laws are made in brussels.

and they are imposed on the uk. we've never had anything like that in a thousand years. our politicians gather like this every year. but this season is unique. they are all stuck in the same situation, even with different problems, tories and labour both struggling for a clear way out. laura keunssberg, bbc news, liverpool. meanwhile, the government has released its latest set of papers on what is likely to happen if we leave the european union without a deal, on issues such as haulage, aviation and travel with pets. our transport correspondent tom burridge spoke to us from heathrow, where he explained the effects for people in the event of a no—deal. the government is saying it will get harder to take your pet to the eu, that coach and bus services to the eu could be suspended in the short term if uk issued licenses are not recognised. if you are travelling

from the uk, another destination outside the eu, bonfire that, your luggage could be scanned for a second time. beyond that there is a whole raft of issues for the airline industry in a no brexit deal scenario. from pilots licenses to whether or not a british certified engineer has recognised in the eyes of the two service a plane. the government is saying that they will recognise eu standards across the board in the aviation industry, but the eu has not yet done the same. will bc that doomsday scenario the day after brexit whereby everything, like from the eu to the uk has grounded? like from the eu to the uk has grounded ? unlikely because like from the eu to the uk has grounded? unlikely because the u has said that it will put contingency measures as with the uk government in place to keep the traffic going. and there would be a whole raft of issues for the airline industry to content with. it is hard to imagine that they would not be extra costs for airlines and therefore more

expensive flights for you and me. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:40 this evening in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight are james rampton — features writer at the independent — and baroness newlove — the victims' commissioner and conservative peer. its a scandal that began in the 197 s, and its taken two inquiries and huge determination from the families affected to get to the start today of what they ve been calling for for years — the first national, judge—led independent inquiry into how thousands of people were given contaminated blood by the nhs. -- 19705. about 5,000 people with haemophilia and other bleeding disorders were infected with hiv or hepatitis over a period of more than 20 years. some 3,000 people have died as a result of the contamination. and its estimated that up to 30,000 transfusion patients were exposed to contaminated blood. the inquiry began with

a video hearing from those affected by the contamination — and this report by our health editor hugh pym begins with their words and contains some flashing images. lies have been told, papers have been destroyed, and for too long everything has been swept under the carpet. when they told me what they'd done to me, i stood at a motorway bridge tojump off it. and basically that's been my life ever since. ijust hope upon all hope that i'm still alive by the time this enquiry ends, and i can have some closure and move on with however long i've got left of my life. the experiences of some whose lives have been blighted by the contaminated blood scandal played at an emotional opening of this public enquiry. that's the two of us...

barbra's husband ronald was a haemophiliac who developed hiv from infected blood products provided by the nhs. he died 25 years ago. after all that time she told me how she felt having heard the official public enquiry get under way at last. this is the first emotional bit, but i think it's going to get a whole lot worse, particularly if things that people have not thought about are uncovered. in the 1970s and ‘80s, the uk imported blood products from the united states, some were made from donated blood which was infected with hiv and hepatitis c. donors included prison inmates who sold their blood. patients were not told about the risks, they have always argued there was a cover—up. 0ne previous enquiry was privately run and had no official status. conservative cover—up! another for scotland was headed

by a judge, but angered victims and their families, who thought it failed to come up with any answers. the high courtjudge heading the new uk—wide enquiry made clear he would get to the truth of whether there was a cover—up. we have already requested a number of documents which we would not have got had this not been a statutory enquiry. it is willing to hold people to account where appropriate, and it will express its views at the end without fear or favour, affection or ill will. it is already set to be the biggest public enquiry of its kind, with hundreds of thousands of documents, and taking two years 01’ more. for those who have suffered for decades, the hope is it will eventually provide truth and justice. president trump is set to meet his deputy attorney general

rod rosenstein on thursday — amid reports that mr rosenstein could resign or be fired. mr rosenstein — who oversees the special counsel's inquiry into alleged links between president trump's election campaign and russia — has been under pressure following a newspaper report that alleged he suggested secretly recording conversations with the president and was encouraging senior government figures to remove him from office. he's denied the claims. 0ur washington correspondent gary 0'donoghue joins me now. remind us who is rod rosenstein? it may not be a household name, but he is stealing some headlines. he is a functionary, he is the deputy attorney general, any normal run of things he really would not be a name at all in the american household. he has been thrust into the limelight

simply because he is the man who oversees the investigation, the special counsel investigation into the russian allegations, allegations of russian meddling in the 2016 election. he is the man who he reports to, has to get clearance from hemp for certain lines of investigation, has to justify the money, and at the end of the day the report will go to him if he keeps hisjob, and report will go to him if he keeps his job, and he report will go to him if he keeps hisjob, and he will decide to report will go to him if he keeps his job, and he will decide to what extent that becomes public and goes to congress. he is a very significant linchpin in the whole is less of the russian investigation which the president regards as a witchhunt. the president has promising to meet with him, he may well learn his fate then. promising to meet with him, he may well learn his fate thenlj promising to meet with him, he may well learn his fate then. i think that's right. we thought it would happen today, but it didn't. the president is in new york at the un general assembly, they had a discussion this morning and talked about the recent press stories that

had been around. you mentioned the new york times last week, the president did not like that much. she doesn't like that kind of thing. in some senses, there is anything to it, he has a right not to it. they will get together on thursday, we will get together on thursday, we will learn mr rosenstein potts fate. his boss, jeff sessions, the attorney general, he is already on his way out the door after the mid—term elections, donald trump has made that clear. you are going to get. , a sort of vacuum at the top of the justice department in get. , a sort of vacuum at the top of thejustice department in the next couple of months. and brett kavanaugh has also come under fire today, this is the second woman who has come forward to accuse him of sexual misconduct. this took place at allegedly at a dormitory party at yale back in the 1980s. he has

denied it absolutely and says it is a smear. he has written a letter this afternoon to thejudiciary committee in quite emotional strong terms saying, i will not be intimidated and withdrawing from this process. he says the coordinated effort to destroy his name but not drive him out. he is certainly feeling the pressure but the difficulty for the judiciary committee is that having a agreed to listen to the first of woman who came forward, it will be difficult on them to reject hearing from the second woman. the headlines on bbc news: theresa may tells her ministers to hold their nerve in the end part of the european union have her brexit plans. it comes as new guidance from the government warns power line and coach passengers travelling to the uk to face disruption in the event

ofa uk to face disruption in the event of a no—deal brexit. add a day of confusion and disagreement for labour over their policy on whether there should be another referendum on brexit. sport now, and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre. good evening. well, we saw one of sport's greatest ever comebacks last night. tiger woods ending a turbulent time both on and off the course with his first victory in five years at the season—ending tour championship. woods' attentions now turn to winning the ryder cup for team usa — both captains agree that his renaissance is a massive boost for the sport. the amount of attention and bars around the pj championship, rugby tour term kinship, the crowd on the 18th fairway, it was amazing. it

brings, not that this event needs more energy, but it is probably the grandest event in love golf, but it more excitement. tiger woods, him winning golf tournaments again something that is brilliant. we all benefit from it. in the end, whatever hectares, the 24 guys will do this. the game of golf needs that boost of somebody like him that transcends the game to the masses. it needs him at the top of the game. whatever one in golf, it is brilliant. tonight in london.. the best fifa football awards have returned for a third year — and already success for liverpool striker mo salah. he picked up the puskas award for goal of the year for his strike against everton in december last year.. fending off cristiano ronaldo for the trophy. tonight's awards are split into nine categories — including best coach, best women's player and best men's player. salah is up forfor that one of course — against ronaldo and lucas modric

and he clearly already has his eyes on that prize. good evening. nothing to say much about that, but i am very happy and proud boast up i have to thank eve ryo ne proud boast up i have to thank everyone who voted for me. looking for another award tonight. thank you. and you can watch all the highlights from the best fifa football awards on bbc one from 10—45. another prestigious award is the ballon d'or and this year, for the first time, there'll be a women's winner as well as a men's. france football magazine — which runs the award, given to the best player of the year — has announced that since women's football is booming, creating a women's prize was a "logical step". a shortlist of 15 female players will be released in october, with a specially selected group of women's football experts picking the winner, who will get their prize alongside the men's best player in december. johanna konta's terrible run of form has continued —

the british number one has been beaten by australia's ashleigh barty in the first round of the wuhan 0pen. konta, who has slipped to number 43 in the world rankings, was beaten in straight sets by the australian at the hard—court event in china. konta has now won just eight of her last 18 matches, and has gone out in the early stages at both wimbledon and the us open. cricket australia say they've found no new information on claims that one of their players racially abused england's moeen ali during the 2015 ashes. the allegation was originally investigated after the first test in cardiff but has been re—examined after moeen wrote about it in his book. the australian board has now closed the matter. britain's double 0lympic silver medallist jazz carlin is taking a complete break from swimming following injury and illness. the 28—year—old has struggled to find form since her success in rio and finished sixth in the commonwealth games 800m final in april.

it means she will no longer be considered forfunding by the british swimming. also missing out on funding are hannah miley and aimee willmott — despite both enjoying medal success this year. that's all the sport for now. you can follow all the winners and losers form the best fifa football awards on the bbc sport website. the father of a teenage girl who died after a severe allergic reaction has told an inquest how she pleaded for help before losing consciousness. natasha ednan—laperouse, who was 15, collapsed on a british airways flight after reacting to sesame seeds in a sandwich from the cafe chain pret—a—manger. the ingredient was not listed on the packet. dan johnson reports. for the ednan—laperouse family, this was always going to be

a difficult day, as the coroner examined the distressing final moments of their daughter's life. natasha was described as mature, very careful and cautious. she had food allergies from being a baby, and the family shop and cook strictly to keep her safe. but back injuly 2016, natasha bought a baguette from the pret at heathrow airport. like all of their sandwiches, there is no full list of ingredients, because they are made in store. there are notices on the shelves that say people with allergies should talk to staff, but there was no direct warning on the packaging that this contained sesame seeds. natasha said her throat was itchy, so she took antihistamine medicine, before boarding the british airways flight. 20 minutes in, she said she felt sick, before red blotches appeared on her stomach. her father gave her an adrenaline injection, but her symptoms got even worse.

natasha said that she still couldn't breathe. mr ednan—laperouse's statement said, "she desperately looked at me, she said, ‘daddy, help me, i can't breathe.”' despite the help of a doctor who was on the plane, and paramedics on the ground in nice, she couldn't be saved. his statement said, "i was stunned that a big food company like pret could mislabel a sandwich and this could cause my daughter to die." even the family barrister who read it on the half of mr ednan—laperouse, got upset and had a pause. natasha's death has left questions about food labelling and allergy warnings. could she had survived if on—board medical care had been better or if the flight had diverted to learn sooner? a pioneering new machine, which it's hoped will transform cancer treatment, has been used for the first time on a patient in the uk. the device, at the royal marsden hospital in south london, allows doctors to see tumours as they administer

radiotherapy to them — something that's never before been possible. it's hoped it will lead to more patients being cured of their cancer, with fewer side effects. 0ur medical correspondent fergus walsh reports. this is a significant moment in cancer treatment, taking millions of pounds investment. harry has prostate cancer and aspire to receive radiotherapy in this revolutionary machine. for the first time, the body's internal organs can be scanned using mri while the patient is treated. the machine combines two different technologies. mri uses magnetic fields and radiotherapy uses x—rays. it has to be specially designed so they can work together. tumours can move when patients breathe,

so the radiotherapy beam has to be wide enough to ensure all the cancer is treated. real—time imaging means a narrower dose can be used meaning less tissue damage. here, the outline of the prostate is being drawn, only the area inside the red line will be targeted. then radiotherapy is delivered from seven angles and clinicians can check that the prostate position hasn't moved. barry will have 20 of these treatments. in future, patients might only need five at lower doses. the disease. press bruises. in lung cancers we need to give more doses than we can currently do safely because the cancer is often close to healthy areas in the chest which limits the dose we can use.

this make sure that radiation goes where it is needed and not where it can cause harm. this signals a new area in radiotherapy which should see more cancer patients being cured with fewer side—effects. —— a new era. within a few months, the royal marsden will treat patients with cancer of the bladder, rectum, cervix and long ago others. —— pancreas and lungs. the chances of surviving cancer have increased in the last few years and this new treatment means the prospects for patients like barry are very encouraging. i feel privileged, to be honest. i am very excited. i volunteered to go ona am very excited. i volunteered to go on a trial. i feel my treatment will help research for other people who have prostate cancer in the future. a second machine will treat patients in the christie at manchester earlier next year. the nhs will prioritise those likely to receive the most benefit from this ground—breaking treatment.

well, let's speak to dr nicholas van as, who is medical director of the royal marsden and a reader at the institute of cancer research. it sounds hugely exciting and significant. it is, it is delivering radiotherapy the way we wanted to do it. in the past we had to be blind while we're treating patients. now we can see what we're treating, and potentially better of radiation to give higher doses to the cancer whilst minimising the dose to the normal tissue. i did not whilst minimising the dose to the normaltissue. i did not realise that when you try to treat a tumour, it may well be moving about. i assume these things are static. the problem is that you start the treatment and you're not be sure whether you are still in the right spot. yes, outside the brain which

you can keep static, everything moves to some degree. some things moves to some degree. some things move more. treating lung cancer, your bleeping all the time. inside the abdomen in your gut moves. everything moves to some degree. that means that if your target move, you giving radiation in the same place, you will be getting my guess to errors you do not want to treat. this technology allows us to potentially minimise that. then it has two knock—on effect, thursday you do not end up blasting places where there is no cancer, and potentially causing damage. secondly can it mean that you can get fewer treatments because they are more specific or is that not yet known canas the aim of the treatments to give larger doses, so instead of protracted court is over seven and a half weeks, what it is like prostate cancer, we now do that in four weeks. we have done trials to do it in one week. we could potentially do

then one day. the majesty and allows larger doses per day. rhodes this issue of not ending up putting a goes into tissue that is not, that is healthy. what are the side—effects of makris is healthy. what are the side-effects of makris it all depends where you're trading. annie prostate, organs around it, they can cause problems with your new frequency, irritation in the bowel, symptoms which can travel patients. we are trying minimise that. people watching at home will have seen that your trialling this and it may give them hope that it could be something exciting. we should say this is a clinical trial on a small scale at the moment. this is the first machine in the uk and we are working with our colleagues at the institute of cancer research uk or the patients we treat have been treated in a clinical trial so we are evaluating the technology as we go. it will be awhile before this is

a technology that is routinely available. we are excited because it is the first time it has been used in the uk. it had been used elsewhere in the world. we know about the results they have seen? the first patients were treated this yearin the first patients were treated this year in holland so it is very new, it is far too early to measure any outcomes. the moment, it's it is far too early to measure any outcomes. the moment, its proof that we can deliver it safely and the treatment is as accurate as we think it is. it's a long time before we will know exactly how it will work. hopeful, but we have two keeper made it as a long process. guess, extremely exciting. thank you very much. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. good evening, a beautiful day for many of us with sunshine and a few race but it started with an autumn chill and the further south you are tonight it will be cold again, but the further north and west you are,

a bit mild because cloud is moving across northern ireland and scotland, some outbreaks of patchy rain and more of a breeze so it won't get as cold whereas where skies stay clear further south and east, scotland into england and wales, temperatures into single digits and some spots in the countryside will get a freezing or below so a cold start in eastern and southern areas but that is where we will see the rest of the sunshine. further north and west, cloud and rain in two parts of northern ireland in western scotland. gusts of 50 to 60 mph, maybe stronger in exposed spots through late afternoon and temperatures generally where they have been today, 13 to 17 celsius. southern areas warming up, cooler and breezy with some rain at times further north. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: theresa may tells her ministers to hold their nerve in the impasse with the european union over her brexit plans. it comes as new guidance

from the government, warns airline and coach passengers travelling to the eu could face disruption in the event of a no—deal brexit. labour agree their policy on another referendum on brexit after a day of disagreement and confusion. a public inquiry begins into the contaminated blood scandal, which is estimated to have killed nearly 3,000 people since the 1970s. the father of a teenage girl who died after a severe allergic reaction tells an inquest how she pleaded for help before losing consciousness. let's return now to the labour conference in liverpool, where the party has pledged to "democratise the workplace" by making companies with more than 250 employees give shares worth up to 10% of the value to their workers. the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell has also outlined plans to

renationalise the water companies. 0ur deputy political editor john pienaar reports from the conference. ever sat at work and wish you owened the place? these workers do, or some of it. gripple in sheffield makes gadgets for wire fencing. just one of many firms around the country where the staff own the shares. what's not to like? we just feel very engaged with the business. you feel very much part of the success, you feel like your opinion is valued. when you leave your shares can be handed down to your family, and i've got my daughter and my granddaughter working here. but now labour is promising to go further, much further. in 2018, i tell you that at the heart of our programme is the greatest extension of economic and democratic rights that this country has ever seen. one third of boardroom seats would go to the workforce. and then more of labour's vision. the shadow chancellor sketched out a proudly socialist plan

for a britain where all big companies would be made, year by year, to eventually hand out 10% of company shares to their workers. power also comes from ownership. we believe workers who create the wealth of a company should share in his ownership, and, yes, in the returns that it makes. labour's shares for workers plan would apply to all firms with 250 workers or more. staff would get annual share dividends, up to £500 while at the firm, along with full shareholder rights in company decisions. share pay—outs above the limit would go into a nationalfund labour says would gain over £2 billion a year for public spending. employers representatives say it will harm firms and their staff. employee share ownership is a good thing, many companies are doing it and they are doing more of it every year. but this mandatory diktat that says

every company has to do it in exactly the same way is the wrong idea. it dilutes shareholdings, it will cause share prices could fall, it will affect investors, they will say, why invest in the uk? that affects productivity and ultimately depresses wages. the labour leadership has been frustrated policy ideas have been so overshadowed by faction fighting and wider issues like brexit. and those ideas deserve close attention. the party could conceivably be fighting an election in months, not years. and if labour wins power, like it or not, call it dogma or call it fairness, there would be a fundamental shift in the balance of wealth, ownership and power. get yourjohn mcdonnell speech. here, many love the flood of policy and papers, promising to divide and rejuvenate socialist ideas in national utilities like the water industry, putting workers, customers, councils in charge. in education, no more academies and free schools.

the promise is a radical change, making it work if he and labour's top team get the chance, could be tough. you're my absolute hero. pleasing the faithful is the easy bit. john pienaar, bbc news, liverpool. the difficult part of the conversation was if they would be another referendum offered. 0ur correspondent was at the conference today and ask about a further referendum and what labour's view was on the announced. brexit has taken over the political landscape and it's no surprise there has been disagreements here about whether labour should back a second referendum on brexit in some form

but also radical ideas being put forward by the shadow chancellor john mcdonnell. less discuss this more with two journalists, normally from westminster but at this time of year at the conference. first of all on brexit, labour have a dilemma, they are trying to keep both sides happy. it's difficult to do that. we thought there had been some clarity in labour's position over what they we re in labour's position over what they were going to do about any referendum. they wanted to keep all options on the table, including remaining in the eu. john mcdonnell said this morning on the radio that wasn't going to be the case, it would be between an ordeal accepting a deal that theresa may may come back with. most upset with that analysis and he has said no, the decision was they would be an option to remain. there has been confusion all day. i feel like we've gone in a circle and ended up where we were. yes, it's a mess and labour has

balance, the desires of the membership, half 1 million, balance, the desires of the membership, halfi million, who are massively pro—remain and labour's with supporters and members who are much more evenly split on whether or not to leave the eu and that is places like the north and the midlands and the valleys where they have traditional old labour supporters and they don't want to upset and alienate them further than they already have. jim, let's talk about the policies. john mcdonnell coming forward with what could be said to be pretty radical ideas. what do you make this idea of forcing companies being forced to get shares are we? when this policy was first announced yesterday, not everyone walk up to quite how radical this is an dinner calls daylight, they have looked at this policy and realise it means all of britain's big companies, not some of them, but every company with more than 250 staff will have to hand over 10% of their ownership to the workers so on the one hand, great news if you're the unions or if you

are the workers because you get these extra dividend is up to £500 a year, but from the perspective of business groups, shareholders, executives, this is getting into slightly nightmare territory and we are starting to get press releases from the cbi, the chamber of commerce, saying it is going to damage business confidence and investors at the wrong time, when companies are already calling quite vulnerable and scared because of brexit. due to the plan to be nationalised utilities is a bit less controversial? the railways seems to be quite popular. what about other utilities? does it add up? what is interesting about the nationalisation policy is that until la st nationalisation policy is that until last year there was a consensus in westminster that nationalisation wouldn't be very popular and it was a throwback to the 1970s. when you look at how these policies poll, they're very popular stories which going to feel sorry for shareholders or executives being taken under

state control? there have possibly been negative reports about how these companies have been run and tax structures. the question of whether it can be paid for, i actually accept labour's argument that it may cost somewhere less than £90 billion to nationalise the water industry and you can borrow that from investors at something like one or 2% from investors at something like one or2%a yearand from investors at something like one or 2% a year and profits coming in at 4.5% will easily, to use what phrase, what over the costs. —— wash over. the start of nationalising unpopular utilities and you end up in ten years' time nationalising the financial times, the murder? companies, the rest of it? that is where people are concerned —— the mirror. and glycine john mcdonnell

is positioning himself for the leadership. —— people are saying. is positioning himself for the leadership. -- people are saying. he was on the radio saying he thinks the next leader of the labour party should be a woman so he was distancing himself from that but he has been more pragmatic over the la st has been more pragmatic over the last few months than perhaps his past would suggest so he has been positioning himself, possibly getting himself ready for government. i don't know if that's true. thank you both. they will be watching for the rest of the week, like us. well, here's a round—up of today's other news stories. a second man has been arrested on suspicion of murder as police continue to search for a student who went missing in his first week at university. thomas jones was last seen near the river severn in worcester during the early hours of last wednesday. new figures from the crown prosecution service show that men aged 18 to 24 are less likely to be found guilty of rape, than older suspects in england and wales. campaigners are calling for an independent examination

to establish why fewer than a third of prosecutions brought against young men result in a conviction. obesity is set to overtake smoking as the biggest preventable cause of cancer in women. currently, 12% of cancers in women are linked to smoking, and 7% to being overweight and obese. however, with the number of smokers falling and obesity rates projected to rise, cancer research uk predicts that gap will disappear in 25 years time. and the indian navy say that a seriously injured round—the—world yachtsman, stranded in the middle of the indian ocean since friday, has been rescued. abhilash tomy suffered a back injury when the mast of his boat broke on friday during a storm, over three—thousand kilometres off the coast of australia. there was an international mission to rescue him. now, it's the day many hoped would never come as people living in a welsh council area will only have their waste bins emptied

once a month, althougth recycling will continue to be collected weekly. the council is conwy and the move follows a two—year trial in some places. the authority says it will boost recycling and save money. critics claim it's unfair on larger families and could lead to more fly—tipping. roger pinney reports. the modern dustcart is a highly mechanised machine, keeping pace with more and more refuse. it used to be a given that dustmen, and they were all men, then, turning up at least once a week. rubbish was carted off to the tip, had the word recycling even been invented then. and now, reduce, reuse, recycle is the mantra and in conwy the stuff that is left will be collected just once every four weeks. i live in one of the areas where they trialled the monthly bin collection. it started here almost two years ago now.

in my home, it isn't really a problem, but there are only two of us. when the family comes to stay, the bin fills up much more quickly. and in the trial areas, you'll hear complaints from families. those of six or more can ask for a second bin there are special collections for nappies. pet owners say they struggle as well. some people have turned to burning their waste. we were plagued with flies and maggots and had to basically burn it these days, so we bought an incinerator and now we have to burn rubbish, which is not good the environment. my son in law has got one of these bins in the garden. sets fire to it after six o'clock. it was a family, i don't know how they'd manage, as my bin is full, really full, every four weeks. the decision to move

the whole county to monthly collection has been controversial. political opinion is divided and on the streets, a private contractor has said it will come in the weeks the council doesn't — for a fee, of course. and at conwy council, they insist if the goal is to increase recycling, this is the best way to do it, at a time when cash is tight. it's about saving money, it's about doing the right thing. recycling more, throwing away less is good for the environment, but it's also good for the council tax payer in that it saves money which we are spending on putting recyclable material into landfill. and if the areas in the two—year trial anything to go by, there will be moans and groans, but most people will simply get on with it and be sure — other welsh councils will be watching very closely what has happened today in conwy. the headlines on bbc news: theresa may tells her ministers to hold their nerve in the impasse with the european union

there were an average of 110,000 unfilled vacancies at any one time during the past year — a rise of almost 25%. some areas have seen vacant posts more than double in a year, as our correspondent jo taylor reports. good morning, kathleen. would you like to go for breakfast? kathleen is lovely. she's been a nurse all her life. after only three months in the job, 24—year—old krastan from bulgaria already has a bond with the residents. despite her dementia, kathleen is learning bulgarian for him. the first word i found meant thank you, that's all well. you're very good at languages. there you are. manager amy esgate recruited krastan but hopes she can hang onto him. in care it's such a high

responsibility and although chs do really look after their staff, care in general is not a very high paid area. a day care assistant here is paid £8.74 an hour, but you can earn over £10 an hour as a store assistant in a supermarket. and it could be why there are so many vacancies. there was an average of over 110,000 adult social care vacancies at any one time in england. it is estimated to have risen by almost a quarter in a year. 38% of carers left the sector or moved to a different employer or role. as for krastan, he loves his job and has no plans to go anywhere. you go home, you don't go with a pocket full of money, but you go with great experience, you feel great yourself. we all know tree rings can be counted to work out the age of a tree,

but could they also reveal what the weather was like way back in history? cambridge scientists are now using tree samples from more than 1,000 years ago to find out how the climate has changed. 0ur science correspondent richard westcott has more. this loch in the scottish highlands is hiding clues that could help us better predict the impact of climate change. scientists are searching for them under the water. swimming around for hours, it's tough, hands—on fieldwork. this is where an underwater chainsaw would be easier. just take it slow at the beginning. they are winching out trees that lived and died hundreds, even thousands of years ago, but the water has preserved them. so, rob, this could have been in the loch for 6—700 years? oh, yes. hopefully this was here

and died 600 years ago, and then we don't have many rings it has got yet, if it has 200 rings that will take us back to the 1200s. by studying their rings, you get a written, annual diary of the summer climate going way back in time. so here, you have got wider rings, it gets thinner and then it gets wider again, thinner and wider. these represent that this tree was growing quicker and slower. we have material for scotland for the northern cairngorms, within ten kilometres of here, going back 8,000 years. we have a lot of gaps at the moment, we are continuous back 900 years, we have an 11th—century gap, which is very annoying. then we have got quite a lot of material for the first millennium. the width of tree rings can give clues to temperature, rainfall and some surprising things. rock avalanches, snow avalanches, earthquakes, tsunamis. if they come in and wipe out all the trees, we can date those. so one could be quite creative in aspects of enviromental change by studying tree rings. in a new lab at cambridge university, ulf buntgen is using trees from around the world to create the longest, continuous,

tree ring based climate diary. this is the year 1816, a year without a summer in large parts of europe, it is following a major tropical volcanic eruptions. it is resulting in a narrow ring, just two cells on the entire growing season that was most likely very cold and also very wet. using samples from living trees, medieval churches, peat bogs, building sites and lakes, they are already unearthing new, dramatic events. we have recently discovered the a so—called late ice age that is a period starting precisely in the year 536, following a cluster of volcanic eruptions that triggered a period of roughly 100,120 years. here is the evidence. a tree ring from 536ad. the larger cells are frost damage

from a dramatic drop in temperature. the line down the middle is more frost damage, but this time from 1258, when another equatorial volcanic eruption froze europe. these thin rings show plummeting scottish temperatures that caused a famine in the 1690s. but what about boiling hot 2018? we can bet a beer that the ring should be relatively wide, it was a good, productive warm year. by reconstructing the climate of the past, scientists can work out if the warming seen in recent years is truly unusual. richard westcott, bbc news, in the cairngorms. last night, more than ten million viewers watched the finale of the hit bbc drama bodyguard, a fictional story about an ex—solider turned close protection officer guarding the home secretary. it's the most watched drama of the year and most watched bbc drama

in a decade. it's a sunday night success for traditional tv as it faces increasing challenges from streaming services netflix and amazon prime. 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba reports. spoiler warning. complex performances, high production values, bold storytelling, all elements that have made bodyguard into must—see tv. despite audiences' increasing desire to viewing tv when it is convenient for them, either through streaming broadcasters like netflix or on on demand services like iplayer, millions chose to experience the show as it was transmitted rather than waiting to catch up later. with each episode, people felt they could not wait, rather than catching up and being behind the conversation, they felt a pressure to watch live. so the proportion of our audience

watching live went up as the series went on. i think that shows there is still an appetite for appointment—to—view television. i'm cooperating, don't shoot! audiences of over ten million enjoying a drama together was thought to be a thing of the past. bodyguard's huge 10.4 million figure is the biggest overnight drama audience for almost seven years, when the finale of the second series of downton abbey was watched by over 10.5 million. and world cup football aside, bodyguard is 2018's most watched show — bigger than strictly, britain's got talent or x factor. it is hoped that momentum will continue into sunday night, the new home of doctor who. the aim is a female doctor and a team led by the writer and creator of crime drama broadchurch, could help the time—travel drama of doctor who once more become must—see tv. sunday nights, everybody gathering on the sofa with some popcorn, get your homework done, get your clothes ready... i'll be there. yeah.

it should be a laugh. you'll have a good time, that's the main thing. i think bodyguard has shown how sunday nights are great drama nights, so we will see. i hope people give it a go. i'm the doctor. 0verall, doctor who viewing figures have fallen in recent years. bodyguard is proof that perhaps sunday nights could be great news for the decades—old show with a fresh new doctor. lizo mzimba, bbc news, sheffield. now it's time for a look at the weather. we can cross the newsroom. no spoilers here because i will give you all the weather details for the next week. a bit of a chill in the airat the next week. a bit of a chill in the air at the moment. particularly at night. we started the day on a cool zero and as we go through tonight is going to trunk cold. something
