an fbi investigation into allegations against his nominee for the us supreme court. in a statement, mr trump said the supplemental investigation would be limited in scope and completed in less tha n limited in scope and completed in less than a week. the announcement camejust hours less than a week. the announcement came just hours after a senate committee voted to approve brett kavanagh‘s committee voted to approve brett kava nagh‘s nomination to committee voted to approve brett kavanagh‘s nomination to a top court, but only on the understanding that the fbi should make further checks into his background. lawyers

acting for doctor christine blasey ford have welcomed the investigation but say no artificial limits should be imposed. jon sopel has the latest. why not wait? it isjust possible this confrontation in a lift in the senate building has altered the course of the supreme court nomination. you are telling me that my assault doesn't matter, that what happened to me doesn't matter! you are going to let people who do these things... republican senator jeff flake, a key swing vote on the committee, had just announced he backed judge cavanagh. these women we re backed judge cavanagh. these women were not impressed. do you think that we are —— that he is telling the truth? what they said clearly left a n the truth? what they said clearly left an impression after yesterday's visceral testimony. brett put his hand over my mouth to stop me from yelling. this is what terrified me the most. i have never done this, to herorto the most. i have never done this, to her or to anyone. what is the

strongest memory you have? uproarious laughter between the two. and they're having fun at my expense. you are saying there has never been a case that he drank so much you didn't remember what happened the night before? you are asking about a blackout, i don't know, have you? could you answer the question, judge? i'm curious if you have. i have no drinking problem, judge. nor do i. brett kavanagh's forman ‘s had reassured, and with senator flake on—board, eight call was approved for 1:30pm today to approve his nomination. but something odd was unfolding. at senator flake gone flaky? the minutes ticked by. he wasn't in his seat. he had been meeting democrats. then he returned to throw procedural hand grenade into the deliberations. this country has been ripped apart here and we've got to make sure that we do due diligence. i think this

committee has done a good job at i do think that we can have a short pause and make sure that the fbi can investigate. call the role. just one second. what are we voting on? no one seemed quite sure what they were voting for. the committee approved brett kava naugh‘s voting for. the committee approved brett kavanaugh‘s nomination, but with the request that the full senate open a reordering of the fbi background check into mr cavanagh. at the white house, the president, who had been meeting his chilean counterpart, didn't seem entirely sure what had just happened. well, i am going to let the senate handle that. they have been making their decisions and they have done a very good job, very professional. back in congress, allies were offering to explain. somebody has to display mr president trump, so a guess that will be myjob. president trump, so a guess that will be my job. delay is what the republican leadership were desperate to avoid, but it looks as though

dele is what they've got. just outside the capital stands this monument. it depicts grief holding her covered face against the shoulder of history and weeps in mourning. it has been a painful week for a bitterly disunited states. a coroner has criticised pret a manger for inadequate allergy labelling and for not taking allergy monitoring seriously. it follows the death of 15—year—old natasha ednan—laperouse. she suffered a fatal allergic reaction and went into cardiac arrest on a flight after buying a sandwich from pret a manger two years ago. her family said food labelling laws "played russian roulette" with their daughter's life. sarah campbell has more. best friends, looking forward to a summer holiday. by the time this was filmed, around take—off, the sesame seeds natasha had unwittingly eaten were already starting to cause an allergic reaction, from which she would never recover. in the two years since natasha died, herfamily — mother tanya, brother alex and father nadim — have been waiting to understand why they lost their daughter and sister.

they've been at the inquest every day and today, heard the corner‘s conclusions. our 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 us that if pret a manger were following the law, then the law was playing russian roulette with our daughter's life. natasha had checked the baguette packet for specific allergy information, as had herfather. there was none. reassured by this, said the coroner, natasha ate the sandwich. branches of pret a manger prepare and package theirfood on—site. the current regulations make no distinction between a large chain like this and a small sandwich shop. customers should be made aware that

allergens like eggs, sesame, and peanuts may be present. but that doesn't have to be written on the individual item. in 2016, pret‘s policy was to place warning stickers on tills and on the fridges. the coroner said they were difficult to see. the environment secretary michael gove said today the government is currently reviewing food labelling. in—store warnings in pret a manger are now much more visible. the coroner also wants the company to improve how it responds to allergy concerns in light of natasha's death. we've listened to everything the coroner and natasha's family have said this week. we will learn from it. all of us at pret want meaningful change to come from this tragedy. we will ensure that it does. this case has struck a chord with many of those who live

with serious allergies. two years ago, amelia ended up in a&e after eating a chicken caesar sandwich from pret which she didn't realise contained sesame. the company has apologised to her. it does seem that they really do need to make a change. if they are as serious as they are, to prevent incidents like this happening again, like natasha and me, and i was fortunate enough to live, i would say this very firmly — we will not be the last if you don't make a change. as well as food labelling, the coroner expressed concern about the effectiveness of auto adrenaline injectors. two epipens were administered to natasha, and questions were raised during the inquest over the dose the epipen contains and the length of the device needle. natasha's family say they want this to be a watershed moment,

that her death will lead to changes which will save many other lives. sarah campbell, bbc news. let's get some more now on our main story. peasant on trump has ordered an fbi investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against tees nominee for the us supreme court, brett kavanaugh. —— president trump. chris buckler is in washington. this has been an extraordinary case, and a series of further twists and turns this evening, without committee first saying that the nomination should go ahead, but now it appears that there is going to be a further el that there is going to be a further ei investigation? that there is going to be a further el investigation? yeah, so, essentially, in order to keep all the voters on board, special —— specifically republican senator jeff fla ke, specifically republican senator jeff flake, who at the last moment seem to have concerns and doubts, not least after that confrontation he had with a number of protesters as he tried to make his way into a lift in one of the senate buildings. they

effectively called for what will be a one week delay in the process and an fbi investigation. now, that has now been confirmed by the white house. they say they will proceed with what is an fbi background check. just to be clear, this is not a criminal investigation. it is effectively an investigation into brett kava naugh‘s background. effectively an investigation into brett kavanaugh‘s background. but it is all because of those protests is really striking into the heart of jeff flake. that is why we are going to this point in having a specific question now about what will happen next. the white house as the investigation itself will be limited in scope. it will only look at what it describes as current credible allegations againstjudge it describes as current credible allegations against judge kavanaugh and it must be completed in one week's time. that gives you an idea of how the white house wants to move ahead with this nomination as quickly as possible, but it knows it needs all of the votes it can get inside the senate in order to pass this. at the same time, i think as

the last couple of weeks have proved, one week is a long time in washington. indeed, and we saw yesterday those very dramatic and very personal sessions in front of the senate committee with christine blasey ford talking through the incident of the alleged sexual abuse that she suffered. what sort of reaction have we had from her team to this new fbi investigation? well, they say that they are pleased that it is going ahead. they always wa nted it is going ahead. they always wanted this investigation to be reopened, so they are pleased from that point of view. however, it will not surprise you to learn they also have concerns about it, specifically in terms of its limitation in scope and also its limitation in terms of time, that it can only take place for one week. they think that is not the proper way to investigate anyone's ground. but you are right

in talking about those highly charged personal testimonies that we heard from both brett kavanaugh and christine blasey ford, in a senate room which really saw a huge amount of drama, and it feels like drama hasn't really ended. but i think it also solidified that there is a divide in american politics, and it isa divide in american politics, and it is a divide that has been very clearly shown by this. republicans and democrats do not agree on much and democrats do not agree on much and that includes brett kavanaugh‘s nomination, and if anything, you get a sense after the hearing took place, despite the factjeff flake has now called for this investigation and it is now being held by the white house, you do get the impression republicans and democrats are very firmly going to be setting their views and this itinerant over the supreme court nomination, a very important post in terms of american law, they are not going come together on this. i suspect we will see many more fights before the senate has its final vote. just recently, chris, what are

the prospects now what disappointment going through after all we have seen and heard over the last couple of days? i have been asked this question a lot over the last week and i have now come to the conclusion there is no point in answering it, because the truth is, we simply do not know what is going to happen. and i think thatjust gives you an idea, this morning it was very clear, republicans were of the very firm view that they had the votes to take this through to the next stage, to the senate, to a final vote. and then all of a sudden something happened, in the corridors ofa something happened, in the corridors of a senate building, and everything changes. and we have an fbi investigation reopening. we have had a week where there have been allegations, claims and counterclaims. truthfully, i simply don't know what the next week will bring, and be truthful senators is, they don't either. chris, for now, many thanks, and i am sure you and the team will be keeping us up to date with all the twists and turns

ahead. many thanks. in his first interview since resigning as foreign secretary, borisjohnson has repeatedly refused to rule out challenging the prime ministerfor the leadership of the conservative party. he demanded that theresa may ditch her current brexit plan, and said he would fight for his alternative vision. a government source said mrjohnson‘s plan offers no answers. laura kuenssberg reports. he's out of government, but still wants to get his way. the problem with chequers is that it doesn't take back control, it relinquishes control, it forfeits control. why do you think the super canada deal, as you describe it, is doable, even if it's desirable? it's what all great countries want to do with the eu. they want to have a big free—trade deal. we were on the right path, and then, as you know, we had the election, the irish issue gained in salience, i think, perhaps not quite deservedly, and we've been a bit blown off—course. that idea of a canada arrangement,

a looser style deal with the eu, is not going to be accepted by that side without a rock—solid guarantee about the irish border. you signed up to that in december when you were foreign secretary, and now you're saying, "0h, that shouldn't be operable any more, it's unacceptable." i stayed in cabinet for as long as i could persuade myself that there was still a chance that we would go the right way and we would stick with the original vision that the prime minister had. but if this is such a good idea and it is viable, why does the british government have no intention of following this course? why does nobody in the eu say that this is doable, without significant movement on ireland? if you stick with chequers, i think what will happen is that the electorate of this country will look at what we have in the end produced and they will say, "how on earth was that the outcome of the voting to leave?" it will do lasting damage to the credibility of this country around the world. people will say if the uk is a great

power, a great economy, why are they so passive and so supine? downing street sources said his ideas just aren't workable, but for brexit‘s biggest cheerleader, it's notjust about how we exit the eu, but also what might one day see him into numberio. what are you willing to do to stop a deal based on the chequers proposals going ahead? my duty now is to make the case for freedom. what many of your colleagues will see you here, and what many of our viewers may see here, is that what you are doing is stirring up trouble for theresa may on the eve of her party conference. you're putting forward the same arguments you've put forward for some time now, and you're just throwing rocks, and what this is really about is your own ambition. i do care very deeply about this question. i think that unless we change tact now, we will make a mistake that will be very hard to unpick. this argument that it's not the end

of the world if we agree to chequers now and then sort it out later. that is complete pie in the sky. but the suspicion amongst many of your colleagues, many people in parliament and many people in the country is you're doing this you think you would do a betterjob in number ten. now, you could end that speculation here and now. i'm doing this, i resigned from the cabinet because i could not see how i could support an arrangement that i don't think is in this country's economic or political interest. do you rule out challenging her? myjob is to speak up for what i believe in and the vision that i've set out today. i believe in it very, very sincerely. you know, i'm going to keep going for as long as it takes. people will hear there, though, you not ruling out challenging her? i think the prime minister will... as she said to us herself, and she said to the country, she's a remarkable person. she will go on for long

as she feels it necessary. run, boris, run! always controversial, rarely quiet, this isn'tjust about what happens now for mrjohnson, but what happens next. laura kuenssberg, bbc news. facebook has said "almost 50 million" of its users were left exposed by a security flaw. the breach was discovered on tuesday and facebook says so far it's unclear who's behind the attack. here, the government regulator is trying to establish the scale of the breach and how many uk citizens may have been affected. our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones reports. we didn't have either click date, spare, fake news and data misuse. we didn't have either click date, spare, fake news and data misusem a business trend to regain the trust of its users after a major privacy scandal. the last thing on the was a security flaw which allowed hackers

to get access to 50 million accounts. the vulnerability was in a feature called view as, which allows you to see your profile as others see it, and it allows the hackers to steal the access tokens, the digital keys that keep you locked into the up. that means that the hackers could have access to anything they wa nted could have access to anything they wanted to do with your profile. —— logged. —— app. facebook has logged out those who are affected. mark zuckerberg admitted how serious the incident was and said the network was under constant attack. in a message to all its users, the company said... in march, it emerged that the political consultancy gave a general edgar had harvested data from millions of facebook account. ——

cambridge app. the thought of a living up to get in and take control of my account is potentially very worrying. —— cambridge app. people will be asking if they want to stay with facebook. even after talking about cambridge analytica and quitting facebook, many didn't. facebook says it has fixed the flaw. it now faces investigation by european regulators and the potential of huge fines. a strong tsunami triggered by a magnitude 7.5 earthquake has hit a coastal indonesian city. waves of up to two metres were reported in the city of palu on sulawesi island, not long after authorities had lifted a warning. officials said five people had died and that aftershocks and power cuts were hampering rescue efforts. hundreds of headteachers swapped the classroom for downing street today to demand more money for schools in england.

they say class sizes will increase and staff will have to be cut because they say spending per pupil has fallen 8 per cent since 2010. the government says it is putting more money into schools and will invest a record amount per pupil by 2020. 0ur education correspondent elaine dunkley reports. think about your punctuation, what have you missed there? at woolston primary school in warrington, it's time for creative writing, but teachers are struggling to come up with imaginative ways to save money. well, at my last school, it got to the point where i was actually doing plumbing jobs and actually cutting down trees in the area to save money over a weekend, because we just needed the money. for this headteacher and thousands of others, there is no getting away from the difficult issue of funding. i've got colleagues in warrington that have cut to the bone and are now looking at can they afford a teacher in a classroom all day? because they can't — in a primary school — and that's quite worrying, when you're going, i can't afford a teacher all day in every classroom. so, from school to the streets, hundreds of heads from across england joined an orderly queue

and delivered a letter warning the chancellor of the exchequer that he must do better when it comes to funding. we've had mental health services cut, i can't afford a counsellor. i have children that i've held onto, i will not permanently exclude them because i know actually the odds are stacked against them, but i haven't got the funding to be able to pay for the things that those children need. i'm talking to my colleagues this morning. many of them have said they have never, ever come out like this before. this is not for us. this march is all about the children. from not being able to properly resource special educational needs, to stopping things like swimming classes and after—school clubs, head teachers say this is no longer about efficiency savings, and the decisions they're having to make are damaging to children's education. but the department for education says it has invested heavily in schools. we are spending record amounts on school funding, £43.5 billion by 2020, but, yes, of course, schools are being asked to do more. this was an unprecedented march, but as headteachers go back to school, the arguments

overfunding continue. elaine dunkley, bbc news. a hundred years ago this weekend, a decisive event helped shape the end of the first world war. bulgaria — fighting alongside germany — asked for a ceasefire, bringing to an end a conflict that cost the lives of thousands of british soldiers. and a british woman, flora sandez, played a remarkable role in the campaign. our special correspondent allan little reports from the so—called forgotten front. the gravestones have been maintained and repaired for a century now. privatejohn fulton, 30—years—old, died 100 years ago almost to the day, but few visit this place. almost no one remembers why so many fought and died here. it is one of the forgotten fronts of the great war. more than half a million allied troops came to northern greece,

to try to defend serbia. but by the time they got here, the bulgarians, allied with germany, were digging in and these mountaintops tops the north, with the british on the plain below, laid out like a map beneath their feet — sitting targets. the british called this mountaintops the devil's eye — climb it today and you'll see why. three times they tried and failed to push the bulgarians off the mountain. from up here, the bulgarians saw them coming. i think they thought they could take it, but the reality was that, no, they knew they were going to lose a lot of lives. this main 67th brigade that came up here was basically annihilated, as well as the 66th brigade on the left. the southern south wales borderers did make it up, just to the hill below us here. the unit fought quite fiercely, and, in fact, the conditions here would have been horrendous. as a former soldier,

i wouldn't want to have served here like that. this battlefront holds another remarkable and largely forgotten british story. flora sandes from yorkshire volunteered as a nurse but was rejected by the british, so she went instead to serbia, to drive an ambulance. she then took up a rifle and enlisted as a private in the serbian army. she was the only british woman in the first world war to serve in battle as a soldier. she's almost unknown in britain, but in serbia, she's a decorated national heroine, celebrated into her old age. this is a woman who did 100 years ago what women are onlyjust now able to do, and she demonstrated, without a shadow of a doubt, that women can serve on the front lines as infantry soldiers. she could ride, she could shoot, she was competent as a nurse. so, she was actually quite good to have on hand if the men got wounded, because she could bind them up. she was no mascot. she loved military life. she loved fighting. she saw it rather as sport, i think, in a certain way. in late september, the bulgarian defences in these mountains collapsed.

bulgaria asked for an armistice. the first of germany's allies to sue for peace. the first world war had begun in the balkans. the beginning of the end came here, too. private john fulton came from my home village in rural scotland. as a child, i might have known him in his old age. instead, i read his name on the local war memorial. he died in that last september push into the mountains, one of 12,000 british men who never made it home from this unremembered front. allan little, bbc news, northern greece. coming up we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, jason beattie from the daily mirror and sebastian payne from the ft. that's coming up after the headlines at 11:30. now it's time for the weather with louise lear. hello. just around the corner, many

tend to look at the month of september as the transition from summer into autumn proper. september as the transition from summer into autumn propenm commitment of extremes. this one is really showing up quite nicely. 0n the 17th of the month, we had highs of 27 degrees. 80 fahrenheit in parts of cambridge. 0n the 24th, temperatures fell as low as —3, and it was frosty with early—morning mist. these contrasts look likely to ta ke mist. these contrasts look likely to take us into the first part of 0ctober, take us into the first part of october, as well. the —— dry cooler airto start october, as well. the —— dry cooler air to start the weekend. a chilly start, with ea rly—morning air to start the weekend. a chilly start, with early—morning mist and fog lifting away to lovely swells of sunshine. the winds will strengthen in the far north—west. gusts of 40— 50, do so now. —— logged as an hour. satterley into sunday, the weather
