today at 5pm: the bitter political dispute about president trump's nominee for the us supreme court continues to rock washington. some democratic senators walk out of a committee meeting — angry at being forced to vote later this evening on the nomination of brett kavanaugh. what we saw yesterday was a chord with effort to change the conversation, away from the brave, courageous sui’vivoi’ conversation, away from the brave, courageous survivor of sexual assault because her story was so intensely, and then i happily credible, towards a partisan attack. he has been at the highest level of public service under tremendous scrutiny, six fbi investigations, and we missed the junior gang rapist. we did not miss it. we'll have the latest from capitol hill — and talking to a former associate deputy attorney general about the ramifications.

the other main stories on bbc news at 5pm: the family of a teenager who died on a flight — of an allergic reaction to a pret—a—manger baguette — call for new laws on food labelling. it's clear that the food labelling laws as they stand today are not fit for purpose. and it is no time to change the law. natasha's inquest should serve as a watershed moment. borisjohnson sets out his own plan for brexit — arguing that the uk should "chuck chequers" and negotiate a ca nada—style free trade deal instead. around 1,000 headteachers march on downing street to deliver a letter requesting more funding for schools. europe complete a sweep in the foursomes, for the first time in ryder cup history — they lead by two points, on the opening day in france. this is not some great, big, fat

joke. it's all real, breed. and glenn close and jonathan pryce star in ‘the wife' — we'll find out what mark kermode thought of that and the rest of this week's releases in the film review. it's 5pm. the political dispute about president trump's nominee for the us supreme court is continuing in washington. in the next couple of hours the senatejudiciary committee will vote on whether to move forward brett kavanaugh's nomination. some democratic senators walked out of the hearing, as the exchanges became increasingly bitter. it follows yesterday's dramatic testimony byjudge kavanaugh and professor christine blasey ford,

who has accused him of sexual assault. he strongly denies the allegations. if brett kavanaugh is confirmed, he could tilt the balance of the supreme court in favour of republicans for decades. let's go to our washington correspondent rajini vaidya nathan, who is inside the capitol hill building with the latest on the hearings. we have seen some extraordinary scenes in the last few hours. that's right, iam scenes in the last few hours. that's right, i am in the us senate and about 90 minutes from now on the senatejudiciary about 90 minutes from now on the senate judiciary committee, about 90 minutes from now on the senatejudiciary committee, the same committee which heard the powerful testimony yesterday, will be voting on whether the committee thinks brett kava naugh should on whether the committee thinks brett kavanaugh should become the next us supreme courtjustice. 0nce the boat is done that would then move through to the entire senate where are all senators would have yoursay where are all senators would have your say and that would probably be

sometime next week. this story is of huge significance on a number of levels, firstly because it cuts into the heart of what is a very politically divided america, you have democrats on one side saying this process has not been fair, republicans are saying let's just get on with it. it also cut into another issue which is how our accusers who come forward saying they have been sexually assaulted handled by political institutions in the era of me to? yesterday we heard from christine blasey ford and brett kavanaugh, from christine blasey ford and brett kava naugh, christine from christine blasey ford and brett kavanaugh, christine blasey ford detailed power play and emotionally how she said brett kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when she was a teenager, we also had an impassioned testimony from brett kavanaugh impassioned testimony from brett kava naugh who impassioned testimony from brett kavanaugh who denied completely the allegations. today some democrats walked out of the senate committee because they do not believe a vote should happenjust because they do not believe a vote should happen just yet, because they do not believe a vote should happenjust yet, they because they do not believe a vote

should happen just yet, they think hearing from two people is not enough for people to draw a conclusion about who is telling the truth. so we had some very heated exchanges this morning in the senate committee, let's start by listening to chuck gaslight and then we will hear diane feinstein. to chuck gaslight and then we will hear diane feinsteinlj to chuck gaslight and then we will hear diane feinstein. i find the testimony credible and believe she is sincere in her version of the facts but i also found judge cavanagh's testimony sincere. the existing evidence including the statement of three alleged eyewitnesses named by dr ford refutes dr ford's version of the facts, there is no reason to deny judge brett kavanaugh seat on the supreme judge brett kavanaugh seat on the supreme court judge brett kavanaugh seat on the supreme court on judge brett kavanaugh seat on the supreme court on the basis of evidence presented to us. i reopen the hearing at insistence of dr ford and judge brett kavanaugh, the hearing at insistence of dr ford andjudge brett kavanaugh, dr the hearing at insistence of dr ford and judge brett kavanaugh, dr ford wanted to be heard and he gave her that opportunity. not one question

to dr ford was disrespectful in any way, she was treated with courtesy and dignity as i promised her but the questions my democratic colleagues asked judge kavanaugh where unequivocally and universally hostile. he yelled at democrats for having the temerity to express our frustration for not having access to over 90% of his record and said that some democrat members were "an embarrassment", he accused democrats of "lying in wait" and "replacing advise and consent with search and destroy". he even went so far as to say that dr ford 5 allegations were "nothing more than a calculated and orchestrated political hit fuelled with apparent pent up anger"

at the 2018 election and "revenge on behalf of the clintons". unbelievable. this was not someone who reflected an impartial temperament, or the fairness and even—handedness one would see in a judge. he was aggressive and belligerent. i have never seen someone who wants to be elevated to the highest court behave in that manner. asi as i mentioned, democrats have been calling for an fbi investigation but so calling for an fbi investigation but so have the american bar association, the country's top legal association, they believe more witnesses should be interviewed to get a fuller picture. you have republicans on the committee seeing brett kava naugh is republicans on the committee seeing brett kavanaugh is a federaljudge of who has gone through fbi checks ona number of

of who has gone through fbi checks on a number of occasions and come out clean. it is unclear which way the vote will go next week when it gets to the senate floor because you have some democrats and republicans suggesting they might not vote along party lines. likewise some members of the committee were also on the fence including the republican senator from arizona jeff flake who earlier today was harangued by protesters as he was in the senate, we can bring new pictures of that scene and he had sat on the fence and said he would make up his mind on which way to vote after he had listened to the testimony then he issued a statement this morning saying he had decided he was going to support brett kavanaugh's nomination and i think that is why it's caused some scenes of protest. we also saw other protests, a number of female members of the house of representatives who walked over to the senate and stood outside the committee room in protest. many

democrats feel this is not the right way to treat survivors of sexual assault, of course her story is her story and then you have brett kavanaugh story and then you have brett kava naugh who is story and then you have brett kavanaugh who is denying that version of events but it's worth noting some other women have also come forward, two others on the record, two others anonymously saying they are also survivors of sexual assault at the hands of brett kavanaugh and there are supporters out there all those women who are concerned that their views have not been heard by the committee. brett kavanaugh very been heard by the committee. brett kava naugh very resolute been heard by the committee. brett kavanaugh very resolute in the committee hearings. what they surely comes down to is who do the senators believe, members of the senate will have their say, they have to decide do they believe doctor christine blasey ford or do they believe brett kavanaugh? for now, thank you very much. joining us from our washington studio is the consitutional lawyer

bruce fein, who was associate deputy attorney general under president ronald reagan. thank you for your time, first of all, abroad thought about the mood and tone of these hearings in the last 48 hours, it's not been an edifying spectacle has it? no, it's pyrotechnics and it's been as much politics as it was a judicious effort to uncover facts. i politics as it was a judicious effort to uncoverfacts. i do politics as it was a judicious effort to uncover facts. i do think in this particular instance the issue now has transcended whether or notjudge kavanaugh makes it to the united states supreme court. i think the political dimension has dwarfed the political dimension has dwarfed the appointment dimension and this is now a debate about how respectful oui’ is now a debate about how respectful our institutions will be towards

women who come forward whether it is a criminal context or any other context where the government is taking action and given a fair hearing as to whether or not they we re hearing as to whether or not they were abused, maltreated by men. that is the larger issue that now i think confronts the united states senate and that is the issue which the american people and certainly the women perceive this particular vote. it's no longer about the supreme court, it's about a larger cultural issue of the treatment of women by men who traditionally have occupied positions of power. it seems to me you are talking in very broad terms, that the ramifications could be quite broad and do you mean by that because the receipt of government, what one would hope would be the heart of proper behaviour and proper manners, did they let the professor down yesterday, was she not heard properly, what she not treated with respect? she was treated with

respect, the key now is the vote, it's not how they handled dr ford. you put your hand on it, and nation lives by symbols and i think for the american people, if there is a confirmation ofjudge kavanaugh in these circumstances it will be kind ofa these circumstances it will be kind of a licence, boys will be boys, there's not any punishment for this callous and degrading treatment of women. i don't want to overstate the importance but this is obviously very high—profile, the country was riveted on the testimony yesterday and that's the ultimate impact i think, well beyond what the votes on the united states supreme court will be. there is another element that is lurking, it's not an president did foran lurking, it's not an president did for an existing judge on the supreme court... constant harassment and death threats... this only needs to bea death threats... this only needs to be a one—vote change, they could

reopen the investigation, it happened with regard a justice being forced off the bench for wrongdoing relating to some financial behaviour when he was on the bench. we could find this unseemly effort, if he is confirmed by a simple party line vote by the republicans, that after november the whole issue is reopened, there is the fbi investigation and he could be forced to resign. just another reason in my view that the extra mile is gone to make sure everything is out and the public domain, the american people feel a comfort level that no stone has been left unturned on a matter of great importance even beyond the supreme court to the adequacy of which we listen to women who have been allegedly subjected to this kind of sexual abuse. the fact there has been a pause to this process, some have suggested you could pause it, have the fbi investigation,

investigation into the three women who have come forward and made allegations. the fact that was not considered an option, you are a constitutional lawyer, it could have been paused, couldn't it? would that not have been, we lost you slightly on part of your answer but are you saying it would've been the right thing to do morally and there is no constitutional bar to doing so? that is absolutely correct and you could do it within a couple of days, we're not talking about an extension of weeks or months, this could happen next week. the fbi has many resources , next week. the fbi has many resources, it's not a limitless number of witnesses and even if the result the same process is everything, it shows the matter is being handled with due dignity and has a comparison where the republicans sat on a vacant seat with merit garland for over a year. it shows this watch to judgment. there is another point lurking in the question which is very

important, my view is that the american people right now are flooding the offices of the senate with their particular views of how they ought to vote. the longer this drags out if you will, the more the public opinion will resonate and i think the republicans fear that lisa nanny of opinion coming in. i was in a typical, a comparable issue with regarding the saturday night massacres and richard nixon and he changed his mind over the weekend after he had fired the special prosecutor and said he would not be an opinion and there were millions of telegrams coming in. i think that is what is happening right now in the united states senate and why the republicans are insisting or are seeking a as possible. fascinating to get perspective, thank you for your time. with the time difference those feelings are very much going

on and we will have more over the course of the evening. for now we turn to the major story here at home tonight. 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 tougher regulations. the chief executive of pret—a—manger said the company wanted meaningful change to come from the tragedy. chi chi izundu reports. a happy, smiling 15—year—old. natasha's family released this video of natasha and her best friend on her way to france. she had an 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. he said there was inadequate labelling and was no indication of sesame and natasha was reassured by that. 0ur beloved 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 ask that if britain were following the law then the law was playing russian roulette with our 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. sian edmunds leads the food and drink team at law firm burges salmon — she is in our bristol studio. this is very much your area of specialism, thank you for your time. 0ne specialism, thank you for your time. one of the things people trying to follow this inquest this week might find hard to understand is why, why the food labelling laws are as they are, if there is as there was in this case sesame in the bread, in the door, why is the company not obliged to point that out? they are obliged to point that out? they are obliged to point it out. the situation for packaged and pre—packaged food product is slightly different. if you what into a supermarket and buy a packet of

the shelf you will see a label on it and it will tell you what allergens are in it, 14 specific allergens food companies have to declare when they sell their food. the situation is slightly different where there is no pre—packaged food involved and thatis no pre—packaged food involved and that is where we tell our food and drink clients that it's quite a tricky area because pre—packaged food also includes food, sorry, non—prepackaged food also includes food that is prepared on the premises for immediate sale to consumers and it sounds as though thatis consumers and it sounds as though that is where the problems arose in this particular incident. the food which pret is selling is counted as non—prepackaged food and there are different rules which apply about how you tell people about the allergens in those foods. absolutely, and that's the tricky this year, that is what i'm trying

to get at. striking to hear the coroner say he is writing to a number of bodies including the government saying more needs to be donein government saying more needs to be done in this area, frankly this has to be improved, i am paraphrasing. but what do you think could be done so but what do you think could be done so that this tragedy could not happen again? the law already says the information has to be readily discernible to consumers, so it ought to be the case that businesses which are selling products in this way make allergen information easily obtainable and available and obvious to consumers and often you will see big notices when you go into shops which say please speak to staff if you have an allergy. the difficulty here was the products look like they we re here was the products look like they were packaged, pre—packaged because they have cellophane wrapping and come from a large organisation. the law it's self is possibly not as problematic as it might have been on

the surface. the difficulty comes with the information that is given to consumers and how that information is transmitted, how consumers are made aware of circumstances where they should be checking whether there are allergens in their products. things that the government might be able to do in terms of making food labelling more clear for terms of making food labelling more clearfor consumers terms of making food labelling more clear for consumers could be requiring i guess any type of product which is packaged up and out on display to have labels attached to them. that would be a relatively simple thing businesses could do to try and avoid these types of horrible, terrible incidents in the future. indeed, thank you for your time. in the last few moments we we re time. in the last few moments we were talking about the fact that the coroner had written to the government, we have had a brief statement from michael gove the

environment secretary who says it is a deeply upsetting situation, my heart goes out to the family. we are reviewing our approach to food labelling to give consumers more information, part of that is looking closely at how we can improve and strengthen domestic regulations to make sure all uk consumers have com plete make sure all uk consumers have complete trust in the food they are eating. we await the findings of the inquest and stand ready to take appropriate action. that from the environment department, the environment secretary in the last few moments. 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 the 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 jonathan blake is in westminster. the timing of all this is

interesting, as we mention its conference season. interesting, as we mention its conference season. it is, we know borisjohnson does conference season. it is, we know boris johnson does not like conference season. it is, we know borisjohnson does not like the prime minister's brexit plan and we know he would prepare a wide—ranging trade deal much like the one the eu with canada. but what this article in the daily telegraph this morning proves is that he's not going to back away from making the argument that he wants to make again and again. at length and in some detail he sets out his case, some colourful language, accusing the government of being inverter at, in other words spineless, docks which eggers is a democratic disaster but no talk of suicide belts around the british constitution, a phrase he used previously, and no direct attack on theresa may are calling for her to resign. the problem is that every time borisjohnson resign. the problem is that every time boris johnson makes resign. the problem is that every time borisjohnson makes the argument that there are familiar

counterarguments coming back so the government has responded this the brexit minister saying this is not a workable or negotiable plan for brexit because it simply would not be guaranteed that there would be no ha rd be guaranteed that there would be no hard border in northern ireland. he says the government is united behind the prime minister's efforts to get a deal and the prime minister's efforts to get a dealand a the prime minister's efforts to get a deal and a government source dismissing borisjohnson's intervention as another lengthy article which does not offer any a nswe rs , article which does not offer any answers, rather it regurgitates ideas which would damage our union and putjobs at risk. but the timing is important, just a couple of days before the conservative party conference where theresa may will be hoping for and needing a show of party unity at a very difficult time. for now, thank you. just after half past five we will talk more about some of the possible economic models which are being talked around

brexit including what borisjohnson was talking about today, we will look at chequers and what that means, that is coming up with chris morris just after 5:30pm. a tsunami up to three—metres high has crashed into the coast of the indonesian island of sulawesi. it followed a powerful earthquake measuring 7.5 that rippled across the region. rebecca henschke reports from jakarta. mobile phone footage shows the terrifying moments when waves up to three metres high crash into the coast, sweeping into the houses closest to the shore. 0ther footage circulating on social media shows from the perspective of ships out to sea from the perspective of ships out to sea and seeing those huge waves hitting the coast, you can hear terrifying screams and people

praying in the videos. 0fficials have confirmed a tsunami has hit the area, they say casualty figures are not clear at the moment. they are trying to get rescue teams to the area, telecommunications have been cut off but they are sending teams to try and sort that out as fast as possible. the area is heavily populated in central solo essay and was hit by this huge earthquake at around 5pm this afternoon, 7.7 magnitude. indonesia is no stranger to earthquakes, they regularly happen here in the ring of fire but this earthquake is very strong for indonesia and a clearer picture of what has taken place here is still to come out. apologies for the slightly abrupt ending. rebecca henschke reporting from the indonesian capitaljakarta. officers searching for missing student thomasjones have found a body in the river severn.

the 18—year—old went missing in the early hours of 19 september after a night out during his first week at the university of worcester. west mercia police say mrjones' next of kin have been informed. the welsh nationalist party plaid cymru has a new leader following a challenge from a former mp. adam price won 50% of the vote, pushing former leader leanne wood in third place and ending her six year leadership of the party. after his election mr price told party members he was confident plaid would form the welsh government after the assembly elections in 2021. about a thousand headteachers have held a rally in westminster 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. these school leaders descending on parliament square are 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 of school on a friday because we feel passionately that our children get one shot at education and 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 they worth less

campaign, headteachers quit a report by the institute for fiscal studies that says spending per pupil has dropped by 8% in real terms by 2010. the teachers say they have been pushed to act by our government slashing school budgets, this is a grassroots movement, not organised by the trade union bill by the themselves. you are going to be doing quick starter activities. the government say they are spending more money on schools than ever before. we are spending record amounts, 43 and a half billion pounds by 2020. of course schools are being asked to do more. standards are rising in terms of the proportion of schools judged good standards are rising in terms of the proportion of schoolsjudged good or outstanding and the reading of schools. these teachers say budget cuts have led to redundancies among support staff, increased class sizes and cuts to music lessons and school trips. much more coming up after half past including the film review but let's find out what the weather

is doing. plenty of blue sky around, but it is certainly feeling fresher than it did yesterday, particularly across england and where. we will tend to see the winds increasing across scotland's. 0ne see the winds increasing across scotland's. one or two showers. a bit of shower refrain. also, it is largely dry with clear skies. temperatures in towns and cities. it will be a touch cooler where we can see a bit of frost to start the day tomorrow. a cool but bright start. as we go through the day, some outbreaks of rain pushing into northwest scotland. it is looking like a beautiful day else while her. temperatures in the mid to high teens. maximum of around 18 degrees. sunday, we will see a bit more of cloud. sunny spells. it could be thick enough for a little bit of drizzle. the breeze will pick up as we move through the day and it will

pull ina we move through the day and it will pull in a few showers across the north and west. 0n pull in a few showers across the north and west. on sunday, a touch cooler. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines... members of the us senatejudiciary committee agree to vote on conservativejudge brett kavanaugh as some democrats walk out in protest. the family of a teenager who died on a flight of an allergic reaction to a pret—a—manger baguette call for new laws on food labelling. borisjohnson sets out his own plan for brexit, arguing that the uk should "chuck chequers" and negotiate a ca nada—style free trade deal instead. around one thousand headteachers march on downing street to deliver a letter requesting more funding for schools. we're going to talk more about some

of those stories, but right now people catch up with the latest sports news. foster is here. the european team staged a stunning comeback on the opening day of 42nd ryder cup just outside paris. the usa dominated the fourballs, taking the morning session 3—1, but europe completed a clean sweep in the foursomes, the first time that has happened. let's cross live to le golf national, john watson is there for usjohn, europe 5—3 up, what a day it's been. yes, what a turnaround. who would have predicted that after the performance of the united states in this morning's four balls. just nine and a half points needed for team europe if they are to win back the ryder cup. it was impressive stuff. from justin rose. after he turned up with stenson. he lost his four ball match. in the foursomes, they

dovetailed brilliantly winning 3—2. an impressive putt on the ninth. roy mcelroy had a difficult morning as well. in the foursomes teaming up with ian poulter once again as they have done before. have a look at this putt. it was a really impressive recovery from mcelroy. he was birdieing the third here. as they won 5—4. francesco alongside tommy fleetwood, what a pairing they have teamed to be. they want 5—4. here is the winning putt. they beat justin tom ince and jordan. particularly pleasing. for ian poulter. he is back in the ryder cup team. alongside rory mcilroy who certainly struggled. he did not make

any birdies in his match this morning. he was pleased to be able to turn things around today. incredible afternoon for europe. 0ne we have not really had since gleneagles, i guess. there were a couple of times where we strain to have a great session but it did not materialise. but this has been awesome. yes, mr ryder cup himself ian poulter playing with rory mcilroy. you just wonder if that may influence thomas bjorn's decision going into the four balls tomorrow. notable as well the america dominated the four balls this morning where they play their own balls and of course it was the european team that have dominated the foursomes this afternoon. you wonder whether or not those successful partnerships in part —— imposter and mcelroy, we can expect

to see them teaming up again tomorrow. and how thomas bjorn would love to see that leaderboard awash with blewitt once again as it has been this afternoon. championship leader lewis hamilton was fastest in second practise ahead of this weeeknd's russian grand prix. hamilton ended the session almost two tenths of a second clear of his mercedes team—mate valterri bottas. they were followed by the two red bulls, but they'll be near the back of the grid on sunday after changing their engines. no matter how they do in qualifying tomorrow. no matter how they do in qualifying tomorrow. title contender sebastian vettel was fastest in first practise but he was fifth with teamate kimi raikonnenjust behind. england wicketkeeper sarah taylor will miss the world t20 in west indies in november as she continues to manage her anxiety. a decision was made by both the player and the ecb who say taylor's welfare is their top priority. and that she hasn't been able to train fully with the squad due to not being as fit as she would want to be

from a psychological point of view. we'll have more for you in sportsday at 6.30. let's return to the story — that 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, mrjohnson calls for a looser free—trade deal with the european union which he claims wouldn't lead to a hard irish border. let's try to unpack some of that and talk through the various economic models. with me now is our reality check correspondent chris morris. this is your task to go through the various model. let's try and talk through some of them. yes, it is important to remember also that the

current negotiation are about the future relationship. what is it going to look like in the and? and thatis going to look like in the and? and that is because to persuade mps to vote for it they want some idea of where we are heading. what are the models? the one we have been hearing most about is canada. it means basically a free trade agreement which would be a looser economic relationship with the eu than what we have at the moment. we would be more independent, but there would be some barriers to trade in terms of friction of borders, there'll be border checks. that is not ideal some people say. what if we zipped it up some people say. what if we zipped itupa some people say. what if we zipped it up a little bit? morris calls it super canada, some people call it plus, plus, plus. may we can get a better deal. we are an important economic partnerfor the better deal. we are an important economic partner for the eu. better deal. we are an important economic partnerfor the eu. perhaps he could, but even that it does not resolve the question of border checks and therefore does not resolve the question that we keep

hearing so much about and that is the hard border and affording and northern ireland. that was such a key piece he might have time to talk about it. what are some of the other models? in theory there are several models? in theory there are several models out there for relationships. here are free of random flags. turkey, ukraine, switzerland. the one on the left probably is the most obvious alternative model to canada which is norway. it means staying in the single market. now if you are in the single market. now if you are in the single market that gets rid of a lot of the problems of border checks. there won't be so many. norway for example, means you have to pay quite a large amount of money into the eu budget and you will have to allow free movement of people. is there any kind of compromise in the middle? well, someone suggested it. and it is the chequers plan. it was trying to take a little bit of canada, a little bit of norway and

add some salt and pepper that would please everybody and solve the irish border problem. it did not please anyone at all. where are we now? we are still at this issue where no one is quite sure what the answer to the irish border is and none of these borders have yet found enough favour. there is the border there. that is what it boils down to. that is going to be the only land border between the uk and the eu after brexit. that is where many of these issues are, what happens at the borders. if you don't want friction at that border, you have to decide where it is going to be. yes, it keeps coming back to that. we will talk about that later. thank you. 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 blamed for
