pret a manger is heavily criticised by a coroner for inadequate labelling after the death of a 15—year—old girl who suffered an allergic reaction to one of its sandwiches. the family of natasha ednan—laperouse have just released footage of her on the plane before she fell ill. her father says labelling laws played russian roulette with his daughter's life, and that urgent change is needed. it is clear that the food labelling laws as they stand today are not fit for purpose and it is now time to change the law. natasha's inquest should serve as a watershed moment. pret a manger says it will ensure "meaningful change" comes from the tragedy. also this lunchtime... us republicans push for a senate committee to vote today, after the testimony from the president's supreme court nominee and one of the women accusing him of sexual asssault.

us regulators charge the controversial head of the technology firm tesla, elon musk, with fraud. a remarkable rescue — how all 47 people on board survived after this plane overshot a runway and crashed into the pacific. and they've teed off at the ryder cup and the americans have taken an early lead. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. the parents of a 15—year—old girl

who died after suffering an allergic reaction to a pret a manger baguette have demanded changes to food labelling laws, and say the conclusion of the inquest into their daughter's death should be a watershed moment. natasha ednan—laperouse collapsed during a flight from heathrow to nice in 2016, after buying the sandwich at the airport. the coroner said this morning that pret a manger‘s labelling was inadequate and he would be writing to the company and to the environment secretary to demand changes. chi chi izundu reports. a happy, smiling 15—year—old. natasha! family released this video of natasha and her best friend on her way to france. she had an allergic reaction to sesame seeds in allergic reaction to sesame seeds in a sandwich she had bought from pret

a manger. today coroner dr sean cummings concluded a narrative verdict saying she had died from anaphylaxis. she says —— he said there was inadequate labelling and was no indication of sesame and was reassured by that. our bulova daughter died in a tragedy that should never have happened and we believe that this inquest has shown that she died because of inadequate food labelling laws. it feels to us that if pret a manger were following the law, then the law was playing russian roulette with our daughter's life. the inquest had also heard that between july 2015 and june 2016 there were nine cases of sesame related illnesses at pret, four of which resulted in hospital treatment. dr sean cummings set

aside his harshest criticism for the chain. he said stickers on the fridge were inadequate. he said pret had an incoherent system for monitoring complaints about its products so they could not learn from them. he also said that he felt they hadn't properly addressed the issue of allergen labelling at that time. and he criticised the lack of formal investigation and written reports after natasha's death. we've listened to everything the coroner and natasha's family have said this week. and we will learn from it. all of us at pret want meaningful change to come from this tragedy. we will ensure that it does. the coroner said he is writing to the environment secretary, michael gove, to look at food labelling laws to

make sure what happened to natasha doesn't happen again. chi chi izundu, bbc news. we can get the latest from our correspondent sarah campbell who is at the inquest. and that point is very striking, the number of letters that the coroner is writing demanding changes? that's right. the family have had to wait two years for this inquest but they said today at least they were pleased that from natasha's death it may shed important light on issues for all allergy sufferers. let's go through those letters. the coroner is contacting pret a manger, he felt that their systems for dealing with complaints and concerns about allergic reactions to their products are still not good enough. he is also contacting the medicines agency and the manufacturers of the adrenaline injectors called epipen because what emerged from tester mini is that the needle on the epipen, 16 millimetres long, kept by so epipen, 16 millimetres long, kept by so many people in case of emergency,

might not in fact be long enough to properly get the adrenaline into muscle tissue. natasha on that flight had muscle tissue. natasha on that flight had two epipen injections, neither of which proved effective. and the coroner will also be contacting the environment secretary, michael gove, to discuss this issue of food labelling, whether it is right that a huge multinational company that serves more than 200 million items of food every year should be bound by the same labelling regulations as any small, independent local sandwich shop. . sarah campbell, thank you jack ness pick up on some of those points with our medical correspondent fergus walsh. we heard about the epipens, do we know how many people approximately suffer from these very dangerous allergies and about some of the treatments? so, there has been a massive increase in the past generation in the number of people generally who suffer allergies but the most serious, where there is this severe

immune reaction panel anaphylaxis, there has been a sixfold increase in there has been a sixfold increase in the past 20 years. and around 20 people a year die as a result of an anaphylactic shock. now, what happens in those very severe cases is, a rash begins to develop, blood pressure drops and there is swelling in the back of the throat, that can cause constriction, prevent breathing, loss of consciousness and eventually as in natasha's case, a cardiac arrest. that's why people carry epipens loaded with adrenaline and they can reverse those reactions very quickly, but it's really important that it gets quickly into the muscle. and as we heard from sarah there, the two epipens that natasha carried, the needle length was 16 millimetres and the resuscitation council recommends that they should only be used for infa nts that they should only be used for infants and that the standard length

ought to be 25 million metres long. she was given both her epipen injections, adrenaline injections, into her right epipens and the coroner said it would have been better if one of them had gone into her left thigh. there was also an epipen on board the plane that wasn't used. fergus walsh, thank you very much. republicans in the us are pushing for the first vote about president trump's nominee for the supreme court, brett kavanaugh, to be held later today. during dramatic hearings yesterday that gripped america, senators on thejustice committee heard testimony from judge kavanuagh, and christine blasey ford, a university professor who says he sexually assaulted her when they were teenagers. he denies the allegation. 0ur washington correspondent chris buckler reports. nothing but the truth, so help you god? i do. at times, this committee hearing felt more like a court, with senators left to judge the testimony of a supreme court

nominee against a woman who has accused him of an horrific attack when they were both teenagers. i believed he was going to rape me. i tried to yell for help. when i did, brett put his hand over my mouth to stop me from yelling. this is what terrified me the most. there was a stark difference in tone from brett kavanaugh. he didn't try to hide his anger as he denied the allegations. my family and my name have been totally and permanently destroyed. he was careful in the language he used about dr blasey ford, but he attacked the process, describing it as a political hit job that had impacted severely on his family. across america, people watched the highly—charged proceedings that saw democrats clash with both judge kavanaugh and republican senators. i want to know what you want to do. i'm telling the truth. i want to know what you want to do, judge. i'm innocent, i'm

innocent of this charge. then you're prepared for an fbi investigation. they don't reach conclusions. you reach the conclusions, senator. no, they d0 investigate questions. i'm innocent. and you can't have it both ways, judge. you're looking for a fair process? you came to the wrong town at the wrong time, my friend. in a tweet, president trump said judge kavanaugh had shown america exactly why he had nominated him. republicans are now expected to push ahead with a vote of the committee. that's likely lead to a full senate vote early next week. judge kavanaugh acquitted himself incredibly well, just a terrific, here's who i am, here's the way i've lived my life. dr ford, i think this process — she got hijacked by this process. i can only tell you that no time, no verification, these other accusations against brett kavanaugh are just outrageous. i would really hesitate to move forward to confirm someone for a lifetime position on the supreme court

if there are doubts, if there are any significant doubts about his story, and frankly after dr ford's testimony this morning, i have significant doubts. the committee heard powerful personal testimony, but some will argue it was ultimately drowned out by america's deep political divides. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. 0ur correspondent rajini vaidyanathan is in washington. what can we expect to happen this afternoon? jane, in about 90 minutes from now, the plan so far, which looks like it is going to stick, is that the senatejudiciary is going to stick, is that the senate judiciary committee, is going to stick, is that the senatejudiciary committee, the very committee that heard that powerful testimony, will vote on whether or not it wants to confirm brett kavanaugh to not it wants to confirm brett kava naugh to the not it wants to confirm brett kavanaugh to the supreme court. as chris mentioned in the report, once the committee votes, it's then left to the entire senate to decide whether or not he should win the

nomination. and that the vote could ta ke nomination. and that the vote could take place as early as next week. now, what we've been hearing from the country's top legal body, the american bar association, is that they want the votes to be delayed, they want the votes to be delayed, they believe there should be a full fbi investigation that professor ford's investigations allegations can be probably properly investigated with other witnesses being brought forward and other women who have also got allegations can be investigated, too. but republicans are keen to press ahead with this vote, it's very important for donald trump to have a conservative supreme court justice so conservative supreme court justice so they want to push this ahead as quickly as they can. thank you. about 250 rya nair flights have been cancelled, as staff in six european countries stage a 24—hour strike. unions say the airline should apply the laws of the countries it operates in, rather than use irish legislation. ryanair has called the strikes unnecessary and says affected passengers can have a refund or transfer to the next available flight.

but the civil aviation authority says compensation should be paid under eu law. the former foreign secertary borisjohnson has set out his own brexit plan, arguing that the prime minister's proposal outlined at chequers is a "moral and intellectual humiliation". in a lengthy article published in daily telegraph just days before the conservative party conference, mrjohnson calls for a free—trade deal with the european union which he claims wouldn't lead to a hard irish border. 0ur political correspondent leila nathoo is in westminster. and the timing of this article is no coincidence? no, this is not the first time since borisjohnson resigned from the cabinet over theresa may's brexit plans that he has used his newspaper column to launch an attack against her and her approach. but i think this lengthy restate m e nt approach. but i think this lengthy restatement of his case, using such

scathing language, is really designed to pile the pressure on theresa may ahead of her party conference, to change her approach and to position himself as the person to lead the charge for what he sees as the writer brexit deal. so, he's putting forward a free—trade agreement along the lines of the one the eu has with canada, a looser arrangement than the prime minister's so—called chequers approach and this is borisjohnson really trying to rally the conservative grassroots behind his plan. remember, the eu has already rejected chequers approach, saying it won't work and there are dozens of tory mps who want theresa may to try to change her strategy. they think they have an alternative model, they think that they can avoid a hard border in northern ireland, there are plenty of conservative mps who disagree. so i think in the face of all of this division, with negotiations coming toa division, with negotiations coming to a head, theresa may will be hoping that she will be able to unite her party around her approach

and convince them that it is the right one but i think all of this is setting the scene for what is sure to bea setting the scene for what is sure to be a very interesting and fractious conservative party conference. for now, thank you. with me now is our reality check correspondent chris morris — lots of economic models flying around — chequers, canada, norway — can we break them down? it's worth remembering that the current negotiations, which must be resolved soon, must be about the divorce, about leaving, where these economic models are about the future, where are we going to end 7 future, where are we going to end up? because people want to know the direction of travel before they sign up direction of travel before they sign up to the divorce. the one we have most about is canada, which is basically shorthand for a basic free trade agreement. it would be a more distant relationship, economic, with the eu than we have now. a free trade agreement is nothing like being in the single market. we would being in the single market. we would be more independent, but there would be more independent, but there would be board issues, friction with

trade. what about if you zip canada up trade. what about if you zip canada upa bit, trade. what about if you zip canada up a bit, super canada, boris johnson calls it, or you can add some pluses and wit. there was no reason why we should have a better 01’ reason why we should have a better or worse deal than canada, we are much betterfor or worse deal than canada, we are much better for the or worse deal than canada, we are much betterfor the eu. —— some pluses onto it. but we would not resolve the problem we have heard so much about, the hard border in northern ireland. what about some other models potentially out there? there's quite a few. we have the flags here. ukraine, turkey, switzerland. the one that gets most attention is norway. norway is basically shorthand for staying in the single market. where canada is more distant, norway is hugging the eu economically. but there would be this issue of paying in large amounts of money to the eu budget. norway wouldn't solve the hard

border —— the irish border problem because there would still be customs and checks. chequers was an attempt to ta ke and checks. chequers was an attempt to take bits of canada, bits of norway, bits of everything, solve the irish border problem, and make everybody happy. what it has done is make almost nobody happy. that means, as a result, right now, this issue of the irish border, the most immediate issue in the negotiations, still needs to be sorted out. thanks very much. a dramatic rescue operation has taken place after a passenger plane came down in a lagoon in a remote island in the pacific ocean. it's believed the plane tried to land at the airport on the micronesian island of weno, butjust missed the runway, but all 47 people on board were rescued, as phil mercer reports. bad weather could be to blame for causing the air niugini flight to miss the airway. as the aircraft was slowly sinking

in a lagoon islanders leapt into action taking to a flotilla of boats to help rescue 36 passengers and 11 crew members. some are reported to have been badly hurt. there was apparently panic on board as sea water poured into the cabin, reaching waist height before rescuers arrived. we came in low, we came in very low. unfortunately the flight attendants panicked, and started yelling. i was trying to be calm and help the best i could. i was really impressed with the locals who immediately started coming out of the boats. one would think that they might be afraid to approach a plane that has just crashed. the aircraft was flying from the island of pohnpei in micronesia to port moresby, the capital of papua new guinea, stopping at weno island on the way. air crash investigators will try to find out

what happened and why. air niugini said its boeing 737 had landed short of the runway because of poor visibility on a wet and cloudy tropical morning. phil mercer, bbc news, sydney. our top story this lunchtime. pret a coming up — loyalty doesn't always pay. claims that customers who don't shop around are being penalised by hundreds of pounds a year. the world number one, dustin johnson, leads the way. he and rickie fowler get the first point for team usa in paris. us regulators have charged the head of the technology

firm tesla with fraud. elon musk is accused of deliberately misleading investors in his company about plans to return it to private ownership. mr musk says the lawsuit is unjustified — tesla's directors say they have full confidence in him. here's our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones. he's the charismatic tech tycoon who's proved a pioneer in everything from space exploration... this will be the first time an electric vehicle... ..to electric cars. but now elon musk could have put his whole career in danger with just one tweet promising to take tesla back into private ownership. it was two words, funding secured, that caught the eye of a stock market regulator, the sec. because it soon became clear that the money was not sewn up. the sec says that means he has misled investors, and even tech geniuses cannot get away with that. neither celebrity status, nor reputation as a technological innovator provided exception from the federal security's laws. plenty more has gone wrong

for elon musk lately, accusing one of the thai cave rescuers, without evidence, of being a paedophile, has landed him with a libel lawsuit, and smoking marijuana during an interview didn't exactly reassure his shareholders. but now the regulator wants him barred from running tesla, and market watchers say that poses a threat to the business. elon musk is everything for tesla. the whole company hands on him. it's a company that runs through $1 billion in cash every quarter, it's burning cash very heavily. if he is known of you have to look at maybe being taken out by a competitor. elon musk has defied predictions before that he would run out of road, but this could be the tightest spot he has faced yet. rory cellan—jones — bbc news. adam price has succeeded leanne wood to become the new leader of plaid cymru. leanne wood — who had led the party for six years — came third. let's speak to our wales political

editor felicity evans. bring us up—to—date with this result. certainly, it is a bit of a shock, to be honest. not because of who won, adam price was widely expected to ta ke won, adam price was widely expected to take this, but because of the way leanne wood lost. third out of three candidates for stuck she was knocked out in the first round. —— three candidates. she always polls as one of the most popular politicians in wales. she has the uk recognition factor after taking part in the 2050 general election campaign. yet somehow she has struggled to convert that popularity into widespread electoral success for the party. —— 2015 general election. adam price used to be an mp. perhaps best known in 2004 for his attempt to impeach tony blair over the iraq war. he is

110w tony blair over the iraq war. he is now an assembly member. he is a charismatic speaker, and a man of big ideas, the pressure on him now will be to deliver on that. thanks very much. about a thousand headteachers have held a rally in westminster this lunchtime to protest about what they're calling unsustainable schools budgets in england. they say class sizes will increase and staff will have to be cut unless schools receive more government funding. ministers insist they will investment a record amount in schools by 2020. 0ur correspondent rich preston reports. the school leaders descending on parliament square just a few hours ago with a message. it's really important that all of us stand together to make sure that we speak with one voice to ensure we get the funding for our children. we are losing money. we are not gaining money. year on year we are finding it difficult to manage the shrinking budgets. we have come out because school leaders feel passionately

that our children get one shot at education. at the moment they are being cut short. this gathering of around 1000 head teachers from across england has been called unprecedented. they are marching towards downing street to deliver a petition to the chancellor, demanding an end to seven years of budget cuts. under the banner, the worst mass campaign, these headteachers quit a report by the institute for fiscal studies that says spending per pupil has dropped by 8% in real terms by 2010. —— worth less campaign. this is a grassroots movement, not organised bya grassroots movement, not organised by a trade union, but by the teachers themselves. we are going to be doing... but the government says it is spending more money on schools than ever before. we are spending record amounts on school funding, £43.5 billion by 2020. but, yes, of course, scores are being asked to do more. standards are rising both in

terms of the proportions of the schools that are doing outstandingly, and performance by pupils. but teachers say that this has led to cuts in music lessons, school trips, and summons of staff being made redundant. —— and some members of staff. rich preston bbc news. the competition regulator is to examine claims that phone companies, banks and insurers are ripping off loyal customers. citizens advice claims that people who stick with the same supplier for a long time are losing a total of 4 billion pounds a year — nearly £900 per person. the banking industry body says it will carefully consider the issue. our personal finance correspondent simon gompertz reports. it's an effort, shopping around every year for everything just to get a saving. 0lder customers, like this over 50s group in southend in essex, are particularly loyal.

providers know it and make more money. i think it's horrible, it's disgraceful, it means that we've got to put in the effort, and those of us who are not savvy with the internet have a lot of trouble changing from one thing to another. all of us should be charged, or whatever, the same, not because, as we get older we get poorer, they are charging the rich people less than they are charging us. and once they get you on board, at the first opportunity they will actually put your build—up. —— put your bill up. citizens advice says the extra cost of sticking with your mortgage provider for a year after their opening deal expires, along with a mobile contract, broadband, home insurance, and shrinking interest on savings, would add up to a loyalty penalty of £877 if you carried on with all of them. the people who drop in here say they have been unhappy about the unfair treatment for years. citizens advice thinks this super complaint is the best shot at a solution. what it means for customers in southend and elsewhere is the competition and markets authority will investigate

and report back within 90 days. most people are not aware they are paying this loyalty penalty. if they were they would take some action to switch. this is basically a systematic scam where companies are taking advantage of the fact we are not paying attention, and, you know, are ripping us off on the basis of that. a lot of effort has gone into encouraging people to switch, but the concern is that that isn't working, that more has to be done to stop companies from overcharging their loyal customers. mobile phone charges are already in for a shake—up and a cap on energy charges is on the way, insurers have promised fairer prices, the pressure is growing not to punish people just because they don't keep checking whether they are on the best deal. simon gompertz, bbc news, southend. the 42nd ryder cup is underway with america's golfers hoping to secure a win on a european course for the first time in 25 years.

our sports correspondent andy swiss is at the national course just outside paris. welcome, this is where the first morning of the ryder cup has been predictably dramatic. it has been tight, tense, and it has ultimately belonged to the us. they lead europe 3-1 belonged to the us. they lead europe 3—1 after the morning session. even before sunrise they gathered in the thousands, a peaceful provisioning morning, but not for long. —— parisien morning. the first hole, your‘s players were cranking up the volume, the team and their fans united in decibels. the us were also in bullish mood. this is the biggest grandstand in ryder cup history, and the result was suitably sporting. 5000 around the first tee. electric.

fantastic. best experience ever. amazing. i've never been to a ryder cup before and it is really fantastic. really enjoyable. you can hear all of the excitement. and this was what they had been waiting for, justin rose and john brahm, the first pair out for europe, and the early signs were encouraging. justin rose was recently the world number one. he was soon showing why. the european duo were leading, the emotions already staring, but it was the us that secured the first victory. rickie fowler, an impressive touch, as he and dustin johnson won against an out of sorts of rory mcilroy. your‘s problems soon mounted. having led for almost the entire matchjustin rose found the entire matchjustin rose found the water on the final hole. he and his partner were agonisingly beaten. whenjordan

his partner were agonisingly beaten. when jordan spieth held his partner were agonisingly beaten. whenjordan spieth held his nerve, 2-0 whenjordan spieth held his nerve, 2—0 became 3—0, the us taking a commanding lead. but just 2—0 became 3—0, the us taking a commanding lead. butjust when the host needed a hero, step up tommy fleetwood. in his first ryder cup, talk about an impact. finally, europe had something to cheer about. he and francesco molinari beating tiger woods and patrick reed. for europe it is the one bright spot on an otherwise difficult morning. europe will be mightily relieved to have that point on the board, but they know they have it all to do this afternoon. the next round of matches already out on the course. the us, remember, are the favourites, and so far they have looked in ominous form. andy, thank you, let's take a look at the weather. you may have heard us talking
