#. french singing star, charles aznavour, dies at 94. coming up on afternoon live all the sport with holly — celebrations over europe's ryder cup victory. absolutely. we have got so much reaction to team europe's victory. and of course we will hear from the captain himself. all coming up at half past two. thanks holly. and lucy has all the weather. october started on a cool, bright note, but we will bring some wet, windy weather in the north, driest in the south. thanks lucy. also coming up — a man whose daughter suffered an allergic reaction to a sandwich on a flight describes how he had to ring his wife to say she would die, as the family campaign for better food labelling. with every minute of every hour that passes, we are sitting and the uk are sitting on a time bomb of someone dying yet again.

that is how serious it is. hello everyone — this is afternoon live — i'm martine croxall. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. the uk is to send a team of aid workers to indonesia, as desperate efforts continue there to rescue people trapped after the devastating earthquake and tsunami. 844 people are known to have been killed, but there are fears the final number of dead could be thouands. survivors are running out of food, power and clean water. the united nations says almost 200,000 people need emergency help, and the department for international development has confirmed it will be sending £2 million to help those left homeless. the quake was magnitude 7.5, and hit the island of sulawesi on friday, with tsunami waves along

the coast up to six metres high. many of the dead are in the city of palu. our correspondent rebecca henschke reports from there. from above you get a sense of the scale of the destruction here in palu and the huge task for rescue workers. hundreds of homes, shops and livelihoods destroyed. desperate people are now trying to salvage anything of worth from the debris. this is what remains of this fishing community. what was tightly—packed houses and shops are now reduced to rubble. people here say they only had a few minutes' warning after that strong quake on friday, to flee to higher ground when they saw huge waves coming in. those that could survive, did so by clinging onto trees and buildings.

now, families are camping out in the open like this family over here, that's collected what they can and are surviving off the food they have. no power here and very little fresh food or freshwater. translation: until now, there's been no aid at all, not even a tent. i'm hoping the government will send tents because all our houses have been destroyed, all 49 homes. there's no signal for communications and even you know gas, everyone is killing for this. especially the supply of food, it's very limited. up in the hillside, authorities have dug mass graves, enough for thousands of bodies in an attempt to stop the spread of disease. amongst the despair, there are also heroes. this 21—year—old air—traffic controller, antonius, died making sure a flight took off safely when the quake hit.

and against the odds, rescue workers managed to pull survivors from this hotel that completely collapsed in the huge quake. for the people who are managing to get into the city, road travel is very difficult. there's been landslides in the hills up here. the airport remains closed so the traffic, as you can see is bumper—to—bumper with people who can get in. there is now almost no petrol in palu, which is also making rescue efforts difficult. community members here say there are bodies still amongst the rubble. people who are still missing. you can smell decomposing bodies here. but they don't have the energy resources to do about it. under difficult circumstances,

the community here is pulling together, sharing what food and water they have. but with power still completely off and supplies running very low, things are tense. the city is almost out of petrol. the people queueing for hours to get what's left. and there has been more looting today. strong after—shocks continue to be felt, making life even harder here. we have had a statement that the department the international development, confirming that five workers are being sent to help with that, along with financial support. the international development secretary said that the uk offers it

deepest condolences to those affected by this devastating earthquake and sue namy —— tsunami in indonesia. we are deploying a tea m in indonesia. we are deploying a team of uk aid, humanitarian advisers to the region, who will use that disaster response to help communicate aid on the ground. £2 million initially to meet the immediate needs of those who are most vulnerable in the aftermath. that is the statement from the international development secretary. the chancellor, phillip hammond, has urged conservatives to get behind the prime minister's brexit strategy and told the party conference she would secure a deal with the european union which would lead to a brexit bounce for the economy. our political correspondent chris mason reports from birmingham. speech day for the chancellor at a conference goes something like this. get up and start the clock to do cou ntless get up and start the clock to do countless telly get up and start the clock to do cou ntless telly a nd get up and start the clock to do countless telly and radio interviews, and then be a bloke in a

factory, as you go for a wander around the workplace. here was philip hammond, earlier at an engineering firm down the road from the conference centre. before he had even had a chance to roll up at the lectern in the hall, a deep pocketed conservative donor had already had a p0p conservative donor had already had a pop at him and theresa may. conservative donor had already had a pop at him and theresa mayi conservative donor had already had a pop at him and theresa may. i think the prime minister has let herself down personally by not being a champion of business to the extent that she could be or should be. you could make the legitimate excuse that she is so busy on brexit, she has not been able to focus on it, but post—brexit, this is one of the keenest things that the conservative party must address. when the chancellor did get back to the conference centre, eat struck back. business came first, he said. that is why we backed business. we backed business as the cornerstone of a successful economy. as a forced the

goodin successful economy. as a forced the good in our society, and add an essential expression of our values. where possible, on the main hall, conservatives are trying to duck about stuff other than brexit. but pretty much every comment —— conversation comes back to that topic. it is the goliath stalking these corridors. and one that the chancellor had to acknowledge as he defended the prime minister's brexit plan. people might say it is impossible, but that is what people said about the light bulb in 1978. ourjob now is to prove him wrong. negotiating and preparing for brexit is one of the most complex tasks ever undertaken by is one of the most complex tasks everundertaken bya is one of the most complex tasks ever undertaken by a peacetime government commerce over the next few weeks, we must stand together. behind the prime minister to get the best possible outcome for britain.

earlier, the man whose every professional waking hour is devoted to brexit took on those calling for another referendum. it was close, but it was clear, britain voted to leave the eu. respecting the result, that is the essence of our democracy, and i have to say, i am heartened by the fact that the majority of those who voted to remain have accepted the referendum verdict. at don't expect any fireworks from government ministers on brexit here this week. the real action is likely to be elsewhere, when this conference is over. chris mason, bbc news, birmingham. our chief political correspondent vicki young is at the conference let's join her now. it was striking that the chancellor

did not talk much about brexit. he alluded to the disunity to the party, over it, and i think that is what cabinet ministers tried to do this week, trying to avoid this issue. they see that they are at an important part in the negotiations, and there is a sense that they are tried to get through the week before we see the next steps towards theresa may trying to get that deal. theresa may trying to get that deal. there is a lot of talk about brexit, on the fringes of this conference. not least, there is an alternative conference going on. it is a eurosceptic brexiteer gathering, and they have got some pretty strong words about the proposal that theresa may has on the table, the so—called chequers plan, which of course would keep the uk very closely aligned on goods with the eu common rule book, and it has upset burying many people, as we know. resignations from the cabinet, but

many grassroots conservative supporters not happy with compromise, either. this is what patel had to say, about theresa may's plan. the only rule in brussels dictate rules and laws to our country. any deal that prevents us from taking back control and being sovereign, and any deal that looks like chequers, all the opinions proposed by the eu, would be a deal that stands in defiance of our democracy. really, that is the kind of tension that there is in this party. philip hammond's plea was the unity to get behind the prime minister, and think about life after brexit, and say that we need to be a unified conservative party, otherwise no one will vote for us, even if we do have ideas and policies and division. the problem is that it is such a divisive issue, but it might be

rather tricky to achieve all of that. i am joined rather tricky to achieve all of that. iam joined now rather tricky to achieve all of that. i am joined now by the international trade secretary, liam fox, who is with us. thank you for joining us. we havejust been hearing from the alternative conference, a eurosceptic alternative, and priti patel saying that it will never be forgiven, but not being a true brexit. what would you stated that? well, it is ourjob to do what we believe is in the national interest. it is in ourjob to have an arrangement of european union that maximises our access to the european market. 42% of our exports to go to the european union, but at the same time, not restricting our hands in terms of the agreements we can come to to maximise our access, to developing markets and other parts of the world, especially in east asia. now, we have made an offer to the european union. we are now waiting for the european union to respond to that. they have said that they would accept the offer that we have made,

in which case, we have said that we have that at the principles behind what we want, no free movement, we wa nt to what we want, no free movement, we want to insure that we have a positive relationship with the eu, but we're not been to stay in the single market or stay in the customs union. they would accept jurisdiction of the european. these all the things that i campaigned for in the referendum, that is why voted to leave the european union. i don't think it is actually helpful, for us to be trying to give alternatives to the european union, rather than asking them to come to a response to the budget offer. but are you, like michael gove, one of those he says, we need to leave, we need to leave quickly, and then we can change the terms of that part of further down the line? well, i want to get as good a deal now as possible. i think thatis good a deal now as possible. i think that is why we need to be saying to the european union, we have made our offer, as the prime minister has said, it is now up to you to come back with a counter offer to us. and if we can't get a good agreement,

then we might end up with their agreement. i think the intransigence of the european union is pushing us towards that no agreement, but it is the and's aim to get a good deal from british business, and security in the country as a whole. there are those in the business community who feel that people are a little bit blase about this option of no deal. looking about it being bumpy, there will be some difficulties. they think it will be a catastrophe for the british economy. and you being too relaxed about that possibly give no deal? i don't think we are relaxed that all about it, that is why we are working so hard to get an agreement. i was bidding to business leaders this morning, and was making the point that when people say, it would be find... the chancellor made very clear today that we could survive a new deal and we could trade under those terms, but it is not the optimum outcome for the united kingdom. if the terms were so good, we would not be looking for a free—trade agreement with the united states, we would not be looking to

try and joining transpacific grouping which could give us more liberal trade, that. it isjust a question of how we get that better access to trade, and remember, what is and wouldn't in the negotiations, as we don't take to britain centric as we don't take to britain centric a view on this. if we have got no agreement, that could be very harmful to european trade, too. european businesses would have to plate harris —— pay tariffs. it is in everybody‘s interest that reached an agreement between us, as quickly as possible to reassure businesses, because we have got a pretty binary choice here, this will either be an economic brexit about prosperity and trade and jobs and profits, or about the bureaucracy and the purity of the bureaucracy and the purity of the european political case. it is either a people's brexit or a bureaucrat‘s brexit, but it can't be

both. those people you are speaking to money, do they still feel that the conservative party represents them, because there are many who feel that the party has lost their way, that they are no longer the party of business and enterprise, it isa party of business and enterprise, it is a problem, because they do see brexit as damaging? if you look at what the chancellor was saying today about conservative party about being the party of enterprise, understanding markets, welcoming, edition, welcoming choice, and you compare that to the anti—wealth rhetoric of the labour party conference last week, it is a bit of a no—brainer which party is the party of business. i have just come from the prime minister who has been speaking to business leaders, and she has got a robust case and got a tremendous reception. but what about after brexit, and at this moment in time, it is hard to think of, but what philip hammond's is saying is that the party needs a vision. i know that union are critical about the labour party and what they are

offering, but it is appealing to some people, they have got some eye—catching policies. has the conservative party full and behind that, because this is taking up so much time? whether it is opportunity at home, giving people better access to education, ensuring that apprenticeships get people into the appropriate types of work, welfare reforms, ensuring that people get better access to housing, whether it is an international message, in my own department getting access to overseas markets that we can trade more. remember the more that we export the more profits we generate and the more money we have our public services. it is although wealth of the labour party to do about how they would spend the money, but they did tell us how they would raise it, and the labour party to say that they are a party for young people, when they have got is pending programme that would leave an economic wasteland and leave taxes the next generation to pay, is utterly incredible. boris johnson

thing that he did not... did not understand the details of the chequers blanc, you agree with that assessment? ronald reagan had an 11 come commandment which said never speak ill about fellow conservatives. i have worked with borisjohnson. ifind conservatives. i have worked with boris johnson. i find him conservatives. i have worked with borisjohnson. ifind him to be a very competent politician, and well i have got things to say about my colleagues, it will be only to say nice things about them. thank you very much indeed. liam fox. the issue of brexit of cores running produced wrong here, and boris johnson does arrive tomorrow, and i'm sure we will have a pretty rapturous reception when he speaks toa rapturous reception when he speaks to a large rally of party activists here. thank you very much. vicki young reporting from the conservative party conference in birmingham. let's get more now our main story —

the uk will send a team of aid workers to indonesia to help with the aftermath of last week's earthquake and tsunami. joining me now from oxford is oxfam's humanitarian director, nigel timmins who has worked extensively in indonesia and has the experience of earthquake and tsunami responses. how does this set of circumstances compare with other natural disasters that you have dealt with? this is a large and congregated response. every disaster is unique, every disaster has its own particular dynamics because of the fact that every place and culture is different, how people respond is different. this is definitely a big one. it is very complex, because you have got the double impact of a massive earthquake that you see there are some of the pictures of there are some of the pictures of the destruction to buildings, people still being pulled out of those collapsed buildings, and the tsunami

at the same time. it does feel like at the same time. it does feel like a complicated... what then will your priorities need to be in the first three days and weeks? right now, it is search and rescue. it is also family tracing, people will be distraught and to find out what has happened to loved ones, telecommunications are down, power is down, suggest finding out those very basic first questions of who has survived are foremost in people's minds, but that will soon move to survival, water, food and shelter. we have seen victors of people being treated for injuries, so sanitation, we need to quickly set that up, get people to go to the toilet safely, and then other issues, how do people pick up their

livelihoods, theirjobs, think about going back home... but immense obstacles that you are having to face to get to these people who need your help? yes, absolutely. it is super difficult. we are working with a network of local charities in indonesia for a number of years now. for example, they responded to earthquake ravaged the months ago. one of them is present in palu. there is some presence on the ground, and the scale up, now, because the sheer number of people affected by this disaster. that huge push now, to scale up in an organised way, with authorities and aid agencies is the foremost on our mind, now. thank you very much for joining us. best of luck with all of your efforts out in indonesia. thank

you. a leading italian scientist has caused outrage by claiming that physics was "invented and built by men." professor alessandro strumia — a theoretical physicist from pisa university — was speaking at a workshop on sexism in science organised by the european research organisation, cern. he also said that male scientists produce better research than females. the organisers have described the comments as "highly offensive." pallab ghosh reports. this particle physics lab cern, a world—leading particle physics lab just outside geneva. just outside geneva. it employs thousands of physicists studying the behaviour of subatomic particles. relatively few of them are women. so the management here organised a workshop to attract more female researchers. at the meeting, alessandro strumia told an audience of young female scientists that physics was invented and built by men, not by invitation. he also showed cartoons making fun of women campaigning for equality

in science and presented an analysis that he claimed showed there was no sexism in physics. i have made the simple checks i believe everybody should have done before making this claim. and with some surprise i find it is the opposite. if you are to be hired it is easier if you are women than men. drjessica wade was at the meeting. she was upset and angry at what she heard. i think it's damaging because it tells a whole generation of young scientists who are working in string theory and high—energy physics and physics more broadly, that senior people in authority think that women are inferior and shouldn't be trying out for these positions and shouldn't be doing it and should have been there due to tokenism. there are more women working in physics than ever before, but they are still underrepresented, particularly in senior positions. of those studying physics at university, 21.6% are women. as they getjobs as

research assistants, that figure falls to 15.5%. and as they progress in their careers to becoming lecturers, it is 10% and for the very top jobs, professors, it's only 4%. cern has described the talk as highly offensive. researchers here are asking why the organising of a meeting on sexism in physics, could have invited professor strumia to speak without first checking what he was likely to say. palab gosh, bbc news. let's get more on this from drjennifer rohn a reasearch scientist at university college london. thank you very much the coming in. what is the best way to treat his comments? i can't believe we are having this conversation again. it seems as if we get the same sort of comments coming out repeatedly, and there is with a big flurry about it, and a bigger bottle from the

scientific community, but these people just keep coming out of the woodwork. some light -- sunlight, they say, is the best disinfectant, is there any merit in what he has to say, even if just is there any merit in what he has to say, even ifjust highlighting that the fact that these views exist and there aren't enough women in science? well, she has certainly done a good job of playing up and highlighting the view is that some people still do have about women in science, these views have been known to be flawed, and have been discredited for years, and he himself had said that he did if you quick checks and find out that no physics is sexist. it is damaging that months and months and years and yea rs that months and months and years and years showing that science is sexist, it is very corrugated, because you can'tjust share if you ask of them say, oh no it's not happening. what impact do comments like these have on young girls who might be considering a career in

science and physics in particular?|j think science and physics in particular?” think it is highly damaging. there have been a lot of scientific studies saying that if you tell a bunch of women that they are bad at maths, and give them an exam, they will do it much worse than those who did not get told that. these things can did not get told that. these things ca n affect did not get told that. these things can affect your confidence and performance. maybe those women laughed it off, but maybe it really affected them. this may not be a fair question, because you are a biologist other than a physicist, but when he says that better researchers than by men, what street is there in that? i see no evidence of that. people have been trying to prove this for years, that yes, they sometimes don't succeed as well on the outcome measures that are commonly used to assess research, hauman papers you have got, how citations you have got, how high up in the ladder you get, do you have the nobel prize, these sorts of things women do not do as well, but not because of attitude, but because

of the cultural context in which research is done. women have problems going up in the ladder, because there is over and unconscious discrimination against them. they maybe have caring obligations, they may have a different attitude towards science and, they might not be as competitive, but i have seen many brilliant women scientists, and some mediocre scientist in my day. some men? yes. what are the best ways of re—educating people, if you like, and encouraging and enabling more women to succeed as it is? a lot of work being done now into unconscious bias, just recognising that everybody, including woman, when he think about a scientist, you think ofa man, think about a scientist, you think of a man, and when you judge a woman and a man who are equal in their cvs , and a man who are equal in their cvs, you unconsciously think the man is better, because they are men. if people are just aware of this impasse, and can put it aside and

see what is really then, it can go a long way towards helping women. thank you the coming in. now it's time for a look at the weather with lucy martin cloudy skies feeding into the north and west. we will see a bit more cloud across england and wales, some fair weather card bubbling up. that cloud across ireland and scotland, feeding into england, courtesy of a weather front that is bringing rain in the north—west of scotland and u nfa i rly in the north—west of scotland and unfairly blustery winds in the finals, as well. temperature is a little bit disappointing today, a touch below average for the time of year, temperatures in the south east, about... this evening and overnight, that rain across scotland and northern ireland pushing its way south east, it will turn increasingly patchy as it does so. temperatures a little less cruel than the while last night. these are the temperatures in towns and

cities. we could see one of two practice of mist and fog in the south—west, and then as we move into tomorrow, a fairly blustery day in the far north. some cloud, sunny spells, and averages a touch warmer in the south—east. this is bbc news. our latest headlines: the uk is to send a rescue team to indonesia to help in the relief effort following friday's earthquake and tsunami. over 800 people are confirmed dead and almost 50,000 have been displaced. chancellor philip hammond defends the prime minister's brexit plans at their party conference in birmingham, promising a brexit deal will lead to an economic boost. when the prime minister gets a deal agreed, there will be a boost to our economic growth, a deal dividend. meanwhile international trade secretary liam fox says it's in europe's interest

to agree a deal. if we got no agreement with the european union that would be very harmful to european trade too. they would have to pay tariffs to access the uk's market. the parent's of a girl who died of an allergic reaction after eating a pret sandwich have told the bbc that without better food labelling more deaths are inevitable. one of france's most popular singers, charles aznavour, has died at 94. he was best known for his 1974 single she, later covered by elvis costello. and geoffrey hayes, actor and children's tv presenter, has died aged 76. the actor was best known as host of the show rainbow and for his portrayal of detective constable scatliff in the tv series z cars. sport now on afternoon live. and still celebrations continue

following europe's ryder cup victory. that's right. perhaps a few sore head this morning. after beating the usa by the biggest margin in12 years, beating the usa by the biggest margin in 12 years, team europe have been celebrating ever since and who can blame them? it really was an emphatic victory in paris. away from the thundercla ps and emphatic victory in paris. away from the thunderclaps and the postbox fa ncy the thunderclaps and the postbox fancy dress, much of the talk has been about the teamwork, the french ship, the passion they showed across the three days, led by this man. he tweeted earlier this morning. adding that ryder cup. but he wasn't the only one. he has been a bad about since then with the trophy and he told our correspondent that they did let their hair down last night. maybe some more than others. there's a lot of celebrations going on, a

lot of dancing going on, a lot of emotions, a lot of hard work. it is a tough week for them so they came back to the hotel last night and they had a good time together, with everyone involved in this. this is not me or 12 men, this is the whole team behind. caddies and the whole backroom team. everyone was there la st backroom team. everyone was there last night having a good time. a lot of people put a lot of hard work into the ryder cup and they deserve a good night. anyone in particular leading the dancing? tommy fleetwood should not show his dancing to the world. he is better at playing golf, i think. i would love to see those dance moves. thomas bjorn was also asked about a cat who he promised to get if europe won by a big margin. he promised to get the scoreline tattooed, but i couldn't really tell you where. leaveit

you where. leave it to our imagination, i think. a lot has been said about the teamwork that was displayed by the european side. yes, in particular there was one pairing that really stood out. a bit ofa pairing that really stood out. a bit of a friendship between tommy fleetwood and francesco molinari. they won all four games and then francesco molinari went on to win his singles as well, but their friendship did not go unnoticed. this was from team europe. they posted this on twitter earlier. waking up with the ryder cup. needless to say, tommy fleetwood having to give the italian five out of five for his performance. now, manchester united are back in champions league action this week but the focus remains on manager jose mourinho and his future at old

trafford. the club has now in due at its worst start to a season for 29 yea rs its worst start to a season for 29 years after suffering a defeat at west ham at the weekend. and preparations continued ahead of their class with valencia tomorrow night. however, jose mourinho has denied another defeat would cost him hisjob and denied another defeat would cost him his job and says it is everyone's responsibility. everybody in the club has a role to play. everybody has a role to play. the kit man has a role to play, the nutritionist has a role to play, so i have a role to play, when we win we all win, when we lose we all lose. and when we lose the responsibility is the responsibility of everyone. in the women's champions league, chelsea have been drawn against italian side fiorentina. they were one of eight seeded team for the draw. glasgow will face barcelona. and to tennis, and british number

one kyle edmund has reached the second round of the china open. he fought back from a set down to beat his opponent in beijing. and that is all your sport for now. as we were hearing earlier, the parents of 15—year—old natasha ednan—laperouse, who died after eating a sandwich containing sesame seed, have been speaking to the victoria derbyshire programme following the inquest into her death. the baguette that triggered the fatal allergic reaction did not have a label identifying sesame as an ingredient, and natasha's parents want food labelling changed. let's hear more of that interview now. he called me and he said, she is going to go completely in the next minute, maybe two. you have to say goodbye to her right now. quickly say goodbye to her. i'm putting the

phone by her year so she can hear you. he said, if she can hear you, she will hear you. and that is when isaid she will hear you. and that is when i said goodbye to her. as i finished, he just said thank you and hang up to then call up and speak to her brother, who would also get an opportunity to say goodbye to her.” phoned my parents, natasha's grandparents, from both my side of the family and tanya's side, and our son, who was 13 at the time, was being looked after by a grandmother while tanya had gone to the airport, and all of them in quick succession had the chance to say goodbye, just about one minute, two minute before the heart completely stopped. and she flat lined... it is unimaginable

that you all had to go through that. ta nya, that you all had to go through that. tanya, you then did go out to france and you two work together and had to deal with what had happened to your daughter. how did you cope in those hours and days after that? we were in utter shock. absolute shock. the city had closed down because of the killings they had been. a terrorist attack where somebody had driven into the promenade, so there was a lot of grief in the city already. it was very hard to get to the mortuary to see natasha the next day. we just we re to see natasha the next day. we just were incomplete utter shock. we didn't know at that point how on earth this could have happened. nadine fudge did call his mother to go intoa

nadine fudge did call his mother to go into a pret to buy the exact same but get that natasha had eaten. he knew that was all she had had that morning. which she did. so that gave us an morning. which she did. so that gave us an indication of what had happened. we had to bring her body back and there is so much bureaucracy, red tape, it is quite a lengthy process, but we managed because he speaks fluent french, luckily, and we just managed to get her back within the week. it was only really after we were back that we could really start finding out more about what had happened. and how was it that you found out eventually that they had been sesame in that baguette? do you want to? i can answer that. as natasha was dying in hospital on that sunday, i spoke to my mother back in london andl spoke to my mother back in london and i said, please go and buy the same sandwich from your local pret

right now, right now, and call me back. go and check if there are any allergens in that sandwich. speak to them. she did, and she called me back, and she told me before natasha was dying, as she was dying, that she had been to the local sandwich shop, bought exactly the same sandwich, there were no allergy warnings inside at all, but she went to the counter and asked the staff where you pay and said, are there any thing in this sandwich to be concerned about? my granddaughter has allergies. the staff then went back to somewhere in the back room and handed my mother a folder, the typical folder you would find in any office and said, there is some information in there. my mother then look through it, there were several

loose leaf information things, and there was one sheet of paper, like a spreadsheet, listing most of the sandwiches on one side, and if you carefully run your finger across the very small writing, it highlighted the allergens in each sandwich, and my mother noticed immediately that sesame seeds were highlighted as an allergen in the sandwich and she was stunned, she said to the staff, where are the sesame seeds, because they are not even visible to the naked eye? and she was told by the staff, they are baked into the dough. at which point my mother screamed and said, you have murdered my grandchild. and that is how she recounted that story to me on the phone, as natasha was dying in hospital. and then we realised, i knew completely that that is why she had died. she had had a full

allergic reaction to a very powerful allergen, which is like a poison to the body, for those who are allergic to sesame, and unwittingly she had eaten a huge dose, hundreds of sesame seeds that were baked into the dough, not visible, and that is why she had died. pret said, we are deeply sorry for natasha's death and cannot begin to comprehends the pain herfamily are cannot begin to comprehends the pain her family are going through. cannot begin to comprehends the pain herfamily are going through. we have heard everything the coroner and natasha's family have said this week and we are committed to leading the changes required across our industry. clearly, these laws are inadequate for severe allergy sufferers. the coroner was critical of those laws and has written to the government, to the food standards, the people responsible for food standards and labelling, and also

pret. what do you think needs to happen? do you want to answer that? those laws absolutely has to change. society as a whole has to take it much more seriously and it starts with a law stating that if anything is pre—packaged, it has to have a list of... there are 14 allergens, only 14 allergens that are listed by the food standards agency, and they have to be easily seen by anybody buying anything that is pre—packaged, and that means a sticker on the packaging. it is a legal issue. there has been the schedule five, which has allowed larger companies do not put labelling on, but this could be changed tomorrow. it doesn't even have to be a law change. if there are warnings to your company that people are having allergic reactions

to your food, that people are being hospitalised because they are eating food that you sell, you don't have to wait for a law change to start putting stickers listing the allergens on the food you sell. you canjust do allergens on the food you sell. you can just do it allergens on the food you sell. you canjust do it because it is the right thing to do. saying that, what we want to do now, what we are absolutely, we are a voice for so many people, adults who are allergic, families with allergic children, there needs to be some peace of mind to know that when you buy something, you have faith in that product and you know exactly what is in that and if it is dangerous or not to you or your child. you have had to wait two yea rs child. you have had to wait two years for this inquest to happen and for there to be this conversation about labelling that we are having right now. in that time, nothing has changed. how do you feel about that? knowing what happened to your

daughter and knowing that the packaging was unchanged. daughter and knowing that the packaging was unchangedm daughter and knowing that the packaging was unchanged. it is unbelievable, actually. ithink packaging was unchanged. it is unbelievable, actually. i think the public have also expressed that. but for us as a family, it is incredible that nothing has really changed. it isa that nothing has really changed. it is a cursory change that someone like pret have done to put allergen information on shelf stickers but not yet on the actual packaging of the sandwich. the point here is, if someone is allergic, and there are hundreds of thousands of people who are allergic in the uk, they need to have that information on the packaging, not somewhere else. it must be adhered to the printed packaging, and to still not have done that, not only over two years since our child has died as a result but also many more years since many

people have been hospitalised, and it is on record that that is the case, with pret's record of allergic incidents, it is now years and they still haven't done it. i think anyone in their right mind knows it is common sense, it is a matter of responsibility and a matter of trust asa responsibility and a matter of trust as a large food operator to at least have the decency to put the allergens on the packaging and not somewhere else where they could be a disassociation between the product and the label. the chief executive of pret has said that they do want there to be meaningful change and they will make sure it does happen. how important is it to you that there is change? it is extremely important. we both have been talking

about this in the last days, it is so about this in the last days, it is so important because with every minute and every hour that passes, we are sitting and the uk is sitting ona time we are sitting and the uk is sitting on a time bomb of someone dying yet again. that is how serious it is. do we want anyone to die again? no, nobody wants anyone to die, not even pret. then do something. not words but deeds, right now. you must have been, i'm sure, living with so many different emotions since natasha died. obviously devastation, sadness, anger. how would you describe where you are now and how you see things going forward? two years of not being able to move forward with this was really difficult. i would forward with this was really difficult. iwould pick forward with this was really difficult. i would pick up the paper

or on the news they would be a story of somebody who had died, the young person quite often, of allergies in the two years since, and it was always such a shock that these things were still happening, but it still was not being taken as seriously as we felt it should be, andl seriously as we felt it should be, and i did make a comment on the last day of the inquest that i felt that we we re day of the inquest that i felt that we were finally on a train, we were going somewhere, on a journey. it just felt like we had just got on after being stuck in the same place for a long time. it feels like now we are finally moving slowly and thatis we are finally moving slowly and that is something we are both really grateful for and something we definitely want to take advantage of, that we can do this, and we can really bring this forward to happen as quickly as possible. the parents of natasha

ednan—laperouse speaking earlier today. jamie robertson is here in a moment with the business news. first, a look at the headlines on afternoon live. the uk will send a team of aid workers to indonesia to help with the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami that's killed hundreds of people. the chancellor tells the conservative party conference a brexit deal will boost the uk economy, describing it as a ‘deal dividend' and the parents of a girl who died after suffering an allergic reaction to a sandwich on a flight continue their campaign for better food labelling. here are your business headlines on afternoon live. ford has offered to refund thousands of pounds to customers whose engines have failed, following a bbc investigation. hundreds of customers have said their cars with ford ecoboost engines have overheated, causing engine failure or even bursting into flames. tesco bank has been fined £16 million by the uk financial regulator for failings

during a cyber attack on its customers in november two years ago. the financial conduct authority said the bank had failed to exercise due skill, care and diligence in protecting its personal current account holders. the fraudsters got away with £2.25 million. tesco bank said all the money had been refunded to account holders. restaurants will be legally barred from keeping tips from staff under plans to be announced by theresa may on monday. high street chains will be forced to pass on all service charges to workers. the move follows a public outcry over the practice by some restaurants of skimming off a share of tips. what's going on with ford? the car giant ford has offered to refund thousands of pounds to customers after an investigation by the bbc s inside out programme. hundreds of customers have complained that their ecoboost cars have suffered total engine failure without warning.

joining is now is keeley donovan, a reporterfor inside out. what has been the problem and what has been happening to these customers? we have been speaking to people who own the ford cars fitted with these engines. they are designed to work harder. the problems have occurred in two types of engine. the one litre and the 1.6. let's talk about the one litre first. we have spoken to a number of donors whose engines have overheated and suffered complete failure, resulting in them needing a full replacement engine. they have been told by ford that they were responsible for paying all of the cost or at least a proportion of the cost. these cars are usually only between four and six years old with

about 30,000 two 70,000 miles on the clock. the 1.6, we have also spoken to owners of that engine, whose cars have actually burst into flames while they were driving. in addition to that, we have heard complaints about ford's customer service, with some describing it as dismissive and unhelpful, that the company would put anything in writing and at some points customers get told that ford would respond to any further communications. many of the people we have spoken to our ford customers for years, we have spoken to our ford customers foryears, in we have spoken to our ford customers for years, in some cases decades, and they are really unhappy. what are they saying publicly? ford says it has already made substantial contributions towards the cost of the one litre per —— repairs, but says it now needs to go further. andy barrick, the managing director,

announced it will cover 100% of the cost of re pairing announced it will cover 100% of the cost of repairing any one litre engine which fails due to overheating and says they will re—examine readers cases to ensure consistency. on the 1.6 litre engine, the ones catching on fire, it says safety is the company's numberone it says safety is the company's number one priority. it issued a re call number one priority. it issued a recall injanuary number one priority. it issued a recall in january affecting 15,000 vehicles built between 2010 and 2015. the vehicles will be safe to drive. thank you very much. mr trump is saying he has just completed a "wonderful" trade deal with canada and mexico. and he is not the only one to say it is wonderful. the canadians have said it is a good day for canada, the mexicans have said it is a good night for mexico and north america.

but the deal replaces the north american free trade agreement. anyway, what it does, president trump says it will help to sectors which he has been fighting to get more which he has been fighting to get m o re a ccess which he has been fighting to get more access into the canadian market. one is dairy and the other is cars. but let's go over to new york. joining us live from the new york stock exchange is samira hussain. what has changed? some people are saying nothing has changed at all. there are a few changes. the us... they have been some

changes but not so significant. there is now more access for american dairy producers to the canadian market and that is increased by about 3.6%, so that was a big win for dairy producers. on the flip side, for canadians, the one real red line for them in terms of these negotiations was this dispute resolution mechanism. the united states wanted to get rid of the way that the agreement allowed for parties to resolve their differences. canada said absolutely not, that was a red line in the sand for them, not, that was a red line in the sand forthem, and not, that was a red line in the sand for them, and that actually did stay. overall, this is more of a political wing for president trump than any else. i think it is one of those things,

we are going to find out over time. we will see. the proof of the pudding is always in the eating as they say. a good way of putting it. the markets? not very much change. tesco have just been fined £16 million because they didn't have due ca re million because they didn't have due care and diligence to protect their customers from a hack. they already had to pay up £2.5 million to the people who got hacked. but 1.5%, not too bad. time for a look at the weather. october kicked off on a dry, bright but surely note for many. this photo was sent in earlier today. plenty of blue sky in warwickshire. but head

further north and we have got more in the way of cloud. the cloud and outbreaks of rain are going to gradually work their way south—east courtesy of these weather fronts in the north—west, but high pressure across the south means it will stay mostly dry with a little bit more in the way of cloud developing through the way of cloud developing through the afternoon but still some sunny spells. temperatures cooler than we expect for this time of year. a maximum of 15 celsius in the south—east, in the north, temperatures struggling to get into double figures. this evening and overnight, the rain over scotland will work its way south and east. it will work its way south and east. it will be a windy night across scotland. we could see gusts of up to 45 mph. a little bit misty and murky for wales and south—west england. patches of mist and fog developing. temperatures a little bit warmer than last night. a little bit warmer than last night. a little bit more cloud around tomorrow morning. there could be some

outbreaks of light and patchy rain but becoming drier, some bright intervals developing, and the temperatures will respond in the south—east in particular. temperatures could creep into the low 20s. in scotland and northern ireland, variable amounts of cloud, a few showers feeding into the north, temperatures a little cooler. tuesday into wednesday, that weather front will begin to push back towards the north and east. it will bring some cloud and outbreaks of rain but it will also mean that warmerair rain but it will also mean that warmer air across the south will start to work its way further north, spreading across the country. as we start the day on wednesday, a bit of a cloudy start. wales and south—west england will see more in the way of cloud but it will become brighter. a dry and bright start for central and eastern england. the temperatures a little warmer in the north, we are looking at highs of between ten and 16 celsius. slightly fresher in the

south—east but not bad. hello, you're watching afternoon live — i'm martine croxall. today at 3. the uk will send a team of aid workers to indonesia to help with the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami that's killed hundreds of people. frantic rescue efforts are continuing to find survivors trapped in the rubble. this is what remains of this fishing community, what was tightly packed houses and shops all now reduced to rubble. the chancellor tells the conservative party conference a brexit deal will boost the uk economy. when the prime minister gets a deal agreed, there will be a boost to our economic growth, a deal dividend. and here in birmingham, the brexit

secretary, dominic raab, has urged conservative to be tolerant of each other‘s views on brexit. i'll be speaking to him in the next few minutes. the parent's of a girl who died of an allergic reaction after eating a pret sandwich have told the bbc that without better food labelling more deaths are inevitable. with every minute and every hour that passes, we are sitting and the uk are sitting on a time bomb of someone dying yet again. that is how serious it is. coming up on afternoon live all the sport. ryder cup revelries for europe's golfers. absolutely, martine. we have got all of the reaction to europe's ryder cup victory, and we will hear from the captain, thomas bjorn, who tells us that that trophy is in safe hands. all the details coming up at half past three. thanks and we'll be joining you for a full update just after half—past. lucy martin has all the weather. a new week and a new month. started

ona a new week and a new month. started on a cool, bright note, but as we move through the next few days, wet and windy in the north, better dry weather in the south. hello everyone — this is afternoon live — i'm martine croxall. the uk is to send a team of aid workers to indonesia, as desperate efforts continue there to rescue people trapped after the devastating earthquake and tsunami. 844 people are known to have been killed, but there are fears the final number of dead could be thousands. survivors are running out of food, power and clean water. the united nations says almost 200,000 people need emergency help, and the department for international development has confirmed it will be sending £2 million to help those left homeless.

the quake was magnitude 7.5, and hit the island of sulawesi on friday, with tsunami waves along the coast up to six metres high. many of the dead are in the city of palu. our correspondent rebecca henschke reports from there. from above you get a sense of the scale of the destruction here in palu and the huge task for rescue workers. hundreds of homes, shops and livelihoods destroyed. desperate people are now trying to salvage anything of worth from the debris. this is what remains of this fishing community. what was tightly—packed houses and shops are now reduced to rubble. people here say they only had a few minutes' warning after that strong quake on friday, to flee to higher ground when they saw huge waves coming in. those that could survive, did so by clinging onto trees and buildings. now, families are camping out in the open like this family over

here, that's collected what they can and are surviving off the food they have. there's no power here and very little fresh food or freshwater. translation: until now, there's been no aid at all, not even a tent. i'm hoping the government will send tents because all our houses have been destroyed, all 49 homes. there's no signal for communications and even you know gas, everyone is killing for this. especially the supply of food, it's very limited. up in the hillside, authorities have dug mass graves, enough for thousands of bodies in an attempt to stop the spread of disease. amongst the despair, there are also heroes. this 21—year—old air—traffic controller, antonius, died making sure a flight took off safely when the quake hit.

and against the odds, rescue workers managed to pull survivors from this hotel that completely collapsed in the huge quake. for the people who are managing to get into the city, road travel is very difficult. there's been landslides in the hills up here. the airport remains closed so the traffic, as you can see is bumper—to—bumper with people who can get in. there is now almost no petrol in palu, which is also making rescue efforts difficult. community members here say there are bodies still amongst the rubble. people who are still missing. you can smell decomposing bodies here. but they don't have the energy resources to do about it. under difficult circumstances, the community here is pulling together, sharing what food and water they have. but with power still completely off

and supplies running very low, things are tense. the city is almost out of petrol. the people queueing for hours to get what's left. and there has been more looting today. strong after—shocks continue to be felt, making life even harder here. joining me now from jakarta is richard wecker, risk reduction specialist at unicef. thank you forjoining us, such a busy time for you. who are you most concerned about? our concerns working for unicef, really into the state of children already affected by the disaster, and those in areas that are not yet reached by

emergency services. such as don dahler. and some of those children are already the most honourable in the country? yes, that is correct. this part of sulawesi, the island of sylla westie, already had high rates of child poverty, stunted growth and poor access to water and sanitation, as well as disparities in access to education, . .. and as well as disparities in access to education,... and of course, children often in these instances get separated from their families, what can be done to reunite them? well, unicef is working on it with the government. we are trying to set in place, family tracing and rena fick is in system. this is really quite difficult, in an area where —— reunification system. in an area

where there is already a low rate of birth registration. hugh jordan where there is already a low rate of birth registration. huthordan in the area are actually registered, which makes it a challenge. fewer —— children in the area. but we do have technical systems in place, and certainly, the government is supportive of this initiative. how important our local partners to international charities when you are dealing with natural disasters like this? incredibly important. in indonesia, it is a country that has been experiencing disasters for a very long time. and we will continue to, just because of its geographic arrangement, but they have had some significant growth in their experience since the 2004 two namy —— tsunami. since then, they

have really strove to work with international communities, side by side. there is a real positive working relationship in place here. but the needs are so long time, and they? we had the lombok earthquake only last month, and now we have got this in sulawesi, you have got to plan for the long—term ? this in sulawesi, you have got to plan for the long-term? absolutely. unicef indonesia is launching an appeal, along with other agencies and countries, for both the lombok as quake, which was just a couple of months ago, now, but still a lot of needs and met in that location, as well as the appeal for central to the westie —— sulawesi. we want no child to be left behind. thank you

very much forjoining us. the chancellor, phillip hammond, has urged conservatives to get behind the prime minister's brexit strategy and told the party conference she would secure a deal with the european union which would lead to a brexit bounce for the economy. our political correspondent chris mason reports from birmingham. speech day for the chancellor at a conference goes something like this. get up at daft o'clock to do countless telly and radio interviews, and then be the bloke in a factory, as you go for a wander around the workplace with the boss. here was philip hammond, earlier at an engineering firm down the road from the conference centre. before he had even had a chance to roll up at the lectern in the hall, a deep pocketed conservative donor had already had a pop at him and theresa may. i think the prime minister has let herself down personally by not being a champion of business to the extent that she could be or should be. you could make the legitimate excuse that she is so busy on brexit,

she has not been able to focus on it, but post—brexit, this is one of the key things that the conservative party must address. where it stands on enterprise and innovation. when the chancellor did get back to the conference centre, he struck back. business came first, he said. that is why we back business. we back business as the cornerstone of a successful economy. as a force for good in our society, and as an essential expression of our values. where possible, on the main hall, and on the fringes, conservatives are trying to talk about stuff other than brexit. but pretty much every conversation comes back to that topic. it is the goliath stalking these corridors. and one that the chancellor had to acknowledge as he defended the prime minister's brexit plan. the eu's donald tusk might say it is

impossible, he said, but... but that is what people said about the light bulb in 1978. but ourjob now is to prove him wrong. negotiating and preparing for brexit is one of the most complex tasks ever undertaken by a peacetime government, and over the next few weeks, we must stand together, behind the prime minister to get the best possible outcome for britain. when the deal gets agreed, there will be a boost for our economy. earlier, the man whose every professional waking hour is devoted to brexit took on those calling for another referendum. it was close, but it was clear, britain voted to leave the eu. respecting the result,

that is the essence of our democracy, and i have to say, i am heartened by the fact that the majority of those who voted to remain have accepted the referendum verdict. but don't expect any fireworks from government ministers on brexit here this week. the real action is likely to be elsewhere, when this conference is over. chris mason, bbc news, birmingham. our chief political correspondent vicki young is at the conference let's join her now. yes, and it is striking how many calls that have been the unity this week ever brexit. philip hammond making the point, there, he says that voters after brexit has happened, will not turn to a party thatis happened, will not turn to a party that is divided. vote to some extent, it is of course falling on deaf ears. very strong opinions, and

there is even an alternative copper is going on here, brexiteers holding their own meetings, and one of them, their own meetings, and one of them, the former cabinet minister, priti patel, an ardent eu lever, eurosceptic, had this to say about the chequers deal which he said went against chrissie. any deal that allows brussels to dictate laws, and any deal that prevents us from taking back control and being sovereign, and any deal that looks like chequers, or the opinions in posed by the eu, would bea opinions in posed by the eu, would be a deal that stands in defiance of our democracy. that was priti patel, there. i am joined now by dominic raab. patel saying that brexit —— chequers stands in defiance of democracy, what could you say to that?” stands in defiance of democracy, what could you say to that? i have known her a long time, but i don't engage in that with any individual.

my engage in that with any individual. my messages, unity and purpose. i think around the hall and the delegates, that message is actually resonating. yes, there are different views on brexit but i write a huge number of positives, and a good deal is within our site. we need to come together because politicians, but also more importantly in the country at large. eu is asking for more movement from the british garment, on this. saying that they have not done enough to alleviate their concerns. we set out the strategic imperatives. we have got to make sure that we don't split up the territorial economic integrity of the united kingdom. we want to maintain frictionless trade. we have also been very clear that we're coming out of the customs union. we will not be dogmatic about the means of achieving them, but our proposals have the merit of dealing with all thoseissues have the merit of dealing with all those issues in detail, in a way thatis those issues in detail, in a way that is deliverable. we need to hear more thanjust that is deliverable. we need to hear more than just computer says no rebuttal from the eu,

more than just computer says no rebuttalfrom the eu, all one on other bits of those proposals, and a clear exclamation of what the problem is, or credible alternatives of the road. we have shown some ambition, it time for the eu to eat as “— ambition, it time for the eu to eat as —— meet us halfway. ambition, it time for the eu to eat as -- meet us halfway. they would say that it was britain's decision to leave, up to you to come up with suggestions. they would say that it undermines the integrity of the single market. welcome if you look at our proposal, tailored not to undermine the eu single market, for example, the distinction between goods and services, the one that the eu take with the ukrainian trade agreement. we have tried to look at it from their point of view, come up with proposals give the united kingdom, but also work for the eu. i ama kingdom, but also work for the eu. i am a shade —— afraid, that we have not had that met on the eu side, but we have got plenty of time left, to doa we have got plenty of time left, to do a good deal, and confident we will get there. you have talked about tolerance, that people in the

party must be tolerant of each other‘s view on brexit. it is not a lwa ys other‘s view on brexit. it is not always seem to be happening. now that you are on the front line of others, time to get a deal, is it more difficult, has it been more difficult than many people suddenly poor trading that referendum” difficult than many people suddenly poor trading that referendum i make the argument that we should be cavalier about some of the challenges that we got before us, shouldn't be cavalier. but we should rise to them. we need to get a good deal with the eu. that is when our sites. of course the eu are going to try and place along, and put some pressure on us in the final lap of negotiations. they have got a track record of doing that, and that is their purgative, but bric closing in ona their purgative, but bric closing in on a good deal. it is within our sites, —— that is their prerogative, but actually we are closing in on a good deal. it is within our sites. theresa may has even said it is the chequers deal, or no deal, but many people do look at it and say, hang

on, no deal would people do look at it and say, hang on, no dealwould mean people do look at it and say, hang on, no deal would mean a hard border in the island of ireland, so how can that be an alternative?” in the island of ireland, so how can that be an alternative? i don't think that's right. to say that the figures on getting a deal with the eu, a good deal that works for both sides and i think a no deal scenario would be the worst case outcome, but in that scenario, we would make it clear that we would not direct a ha rd clear that we would not direct a hard border. ithink clear that we would not direct a hard border. i think the irish film and said the same. i find hard border. i think the irish film and said the same. ifind it difficult to believe that the eu, on the alter of di dogmatic ego as would be into that. still got six months ago, what is your message mps, labour as well as conservative, they will be faced with a very important vote in the coming months, what would you say to them? everybody has different view on brexit. it is natural. we havejust

had a referendum. it has been a big debate and the negotiations have been the same. i am confident we can get the good deal, and a binary choice. not all the different options on the people —— that people wa nt options on the people —— that people want on the menu. it has been tough, but i think it will be a good deal, and then there will be the option of and then there will be the option of ano and then there will be the option of a no deal. everyone will have to focus on those two options, and think it will be very clear what is in the united kingdom's interest. dominic raab, uk brexit secretary, thank you very much indeed. that is what the government is counting on, that mps will look at any deal that she gets, and she hopes that they will think it is the only option. thank you very much. vicki young at the conservative party conference. a man has appeared in court charged with the murders of two women. jack ralph is accused of murdering margaret harris and sharon harris in the kent village of hadlow. he is also charged with one count of attempted murder and has been remanded in custody. the father of natasha ednan—laperouse who died after eating a pret a manger sandwich on board a flight to france has

described how he had to ring his wife to tell her their daughter was going to die. natasha went into cardiac arrest on the flight to nice, after buying the baguette at heathrow airport in 2016. herfather nadim and her mother tanya have today spoken in detail about what happened for the first time since an inquest ended last week. he called me and he said, "she's going to go completely in the next minute, maybe two. you have to say goodbye to her right now. right now, quickly, say goodbye to her. i am putting the phone by her is so she can hear you." no he said, "if she can hear you, she will hear you." and that's when i said goodbye to her and as i finished, hejust said thank you, hung up to then call up and speak to her brother, who would also get an opportunity to say goodbye to her.

the bbc series, blue planet ii, revealed the extent of plastic in our oceans and the threat to the wildlife that it poses. well tonight, bbc one has a special programme, speaking to some of the world's leading marine biologists to discover the impact of plastic pollution and what can be done to prevent it. one team of volunteers in hampshire has discovered thousands of tiny plastic pellets washed up on a beach near portsmouth. our correspondent duncan kennedy sent us this report. i have never seen anything like, quite like this. obliterated by a veneer of an ending plastic, these are the waters of southern indonesia. choked by the detritus of human activity. what is going on? it's just one of the disturbing scenes in tonight's programme, presented

by the biologist, liz bonnin. oh, look at that, yeah. on this island across the east coast of australia, there's more. on average, what you find, about 20 pieces, how much do you normally find? this is what they did find in the stomach ofjust one flesh footed shearwater chick. this is the follow—up programme to blue planet 2, which stunned global audiences last year, as it showed the extent of plastic in our oceans. but it's notjust on the other side of the world. this is an island near portsmouth, where a conservation group has just discovered around 20 sacks full of one particular plastic. they are called nurdles, tiny pellets used to make everything, from bin liners to bottles. you can't see the nurdles from up here, but when you dive down... the volunteers say they have no idea why so many nurdles have washed up here, and say it's devastating for marine life. we went down and had a look, and we were just horrified by what we saw in terms of all of these tiny, tiny

plastic nurdles that are about the size of a lentil, and used in plastic manufacturing. they are everywhere, all around here, all around the shoreline. one survey found 70% of british beaches now had the tiny white nurdles on them. and to give you an idea of just how bad a problem it is, here, take a look at this jar. in one small section of beach, two metres by two metres, one volunteer spent two hours collecting all these. and found a total of about 1000 of these nurdles. not snow, but more nurdles. this time a drift of them, washed up after a container ship was hit by a typhoon in the far east, six years ago. from hong kong, to hampshire, plastic pollution continues to deluge our oceans. thousands of students have marched in barcelona to mark

the one—year anniversary of the catalan independence referendum. protesters attempted to block roads and train tracks, while regional leaders gave speeches and people queued to re—enact the vote that was banned by madrid and the courts for being against the spanish constitution. a leading italian scientist has caused outrage by claiming that physics was "invented and built by men." university — was speaking at a workshop on sexism in science organised by the european research organisation, cern. he also said that male scientists produce better research than females. the organisers have described the comments as ‘highly offensive.‘ pallab ghosh reports. cern, a world—leading particle physics lab just outside geneva. it employs thousands of physicists studying the behaviour of subatomic particles.

relatively few of them are women. so the management here organised a workshop to attract more female researchers. at the meeting, alessandro strumia told an audience of young female scientists that physics was invented and built by men, not by invitation. he also showed cartoons making fun of women campaigning for equality in science and presented an analysis that he claimed showed there was no sexism in physics. i have made the simple checks i believe everybody should have done before making this claim. and with some surprise i find it is the opposite. if you are to be hired it is easier if you are women than men. drjessica wade was at the meeting. she was upset and angry at what she heard. i think it's damaging because it tells a whole generation of young scientists who are working in string theory high—energy physics

and physics more broadly, that senior people in authority think that women are inferior and shouldn't be trying out for these positions and shouldn't be doing it and should have been there due to tokenism. there are more women working in physics than ever before, but they are still underrepresented, particularly in senior positions. of those studying physics at university, 21.6% are women. as they getjobs as research assistants, that figure falls to 15.5%. and as they progress in their careers to becoming lecturers, it is 10% and for the very top jobs, professors, it‘s only 4%. cern has described the talk as highly offensive. researchers here are asking why the organising of a meeting on sexism in physics, could have invited professor strumia to speak without first checking what he was likely to say. palab gosh, bbc news. geoffrey hayes, the presenter of the long—running children‘s tv programme rainbow has died.

i don‘t think i like sharing a bed any more. i think i should have a bed of my own. bed of your own? he was 76. he hosted the show from 1974 until 1992. his manager said the actor and tv presenter died in hospital surrounded by his family, i‘m joined by ronnie le drew, who operated the zippy puppet in rainbow. just explain for everyone, who had not remembered rainbow, expend the setup? it was a preschool programme to teach them a bit about the world. zippy and george, the two puppets we re zippy and george, the two puppets were the young children as it were of the programme. they were puppets, of the programme. they were puppets, of course, and bungle was the teddy bear. and jeffrey was the grown—up

who steered us through the different events that happened on the programme. how difficult was his job asa programme. how difficult was his job as a presenter, you had a very light touch, didn‘t he? as a presenter, you had a very light touch, didn't he? he did indeed. he was a very touch, didn't he? he did indeed. he was a very gentle character person. very unlike a loud actor. he was really gentle and very kindly. we all loved him dearly. basically, his job, really, he steered us all, he major that we were happy, and in zippy, that character was always very naughty, always a loud mouth and they know it all, and every time it got too much, geoffrey then showed his authority, and that would be the fun part of the programme.” was always surprised at how patient geoffrey was, and zippy did not get zipped that often. you are right. zippy did get away with murder at times. i think that‘s what the

audience loved. they love to see this naughty character getting away with murder, but geoffrey, did, he was always kindly towards zippy, really, although he did have two zip him up occasionally. he never went to far. to have presented that programme from 1974 until 1992, not many people get a run like that. what you put that down to? think it was the popularity of the programme for a start. people just loved was the popularity of the programme for a start. peoplejust loved it. i did not know how many people loved it until we finished the shooting of the programmes, and did some live shows. there were queues of people, people by that time, you are probably students in university or whatever, queueing up to see our live shows. so i thought, my goodness. the other thing was i was there from the start, or nearly be start, and we just had there from the start, or nearly be start, and wejust had continual sort of programmes made. we had if you weeks in the year, and back again to get a game. it was a bit like school terms. we would go in,

do our season of programmes, and then we would have a break and be back again. itjust went on and on for those years. geoffrey hayes, i only ever knew him as the man who presented rainbow, but he had been an actor? absolutely. he was a brilliant character actor. he did so many wonderful things. on rainbow, itself, you played wonderful characters in there. ijust thought it was a shame that once rainbow finished, the budget didn‘t pick him up finished, the budget didn‘t pick him up and say, this guy is ably good actor, we could use him in other parts, a bit of make—up and a beard, make him into some amazing sort of character, and i just make him into some amazing sort of character, and ijust felt that make him into some amazing sort of character, and i just felt that you know, he was a bit underused after rainbow, possibly because he was the face of rainbow, everybody said, oh thatis face of rainbow, everybody said, oh that is geoffrey from rainbow. how is bungle, how is zippy? a bit sad

to him, as he did not get that much work afterwards, always known as geoffrey from rainbow. but what was it like working with him? an absolute pleasure. he was very gentle, he would come in and do the show, and occasionally he would get a bit upset about the puppets taking the limelight sometimes, which they did, of course, a lot of the time, but he was or was nice to us. and we we re but he was or was nice to us. and we were like a big family. we would meet up, it was like a school term. we would meet up for the shows, and we would work together, and who just have lots and lots of fun, really. simon is it that he has gone. of course. he was the glue, and he held you altogether. thank you very much. let‘s ta ke let‘s take a look at the weather forecast now. we have seen some beautiful autumnal sunshine in our photos. this one

centin sunshine in our photos. this one cent in earlier. cloudy skies and outbreaks of rain will spread from the north—west today. the high—pressure keeping things dry and there will be a bit more cloud with sunny spells. temperatures not particularly warm. a little bit below average for this time of year. struggling to get into double figures for the far north of scotland. that rain will gradually sink south and east. fairly windy across scotland. particularly gusty across scotland. particularly gusty across the far north of scotland. we could see patches of mist and fog developing across wales and the south—west. tomorrow starts off on a fairly cloudy note for most there will be some sunny spells at times, particularly the further east you are. this is bbc news. our latest headlines: the uk is to send a rescue team to indonesia to help in the relief effort following friday‘s earthquake and tsunami. over 800 people are confirmed dead and almost 50,000 have been displaced. chancellor philip hammond defends the prime minister‘s brexit

plans at their party conference in birmingham, promising a brexit deal will lead to an economic boost. when the prime minister gets a deal agreed, there will be a boost to our economic growth — a deal dividend. the parents of a girl who died of an allergic reaction after eating a pret sandwich have told the bbc that without better food labelling more deaths are inevitable. one of france‘s most popular singers, charles aznavour, has died aged 94. he was best known for his 1974 single she, later covered by elvis costello. and geoffrey hayes, actor and children‘s tv presenter, has died aged 76. the actor was best known as host of the show rainbow. sport now on afternoon live.

we‘re still revelling in team europe‘s success in the ryder cup, and it seems the team have been doing plenty of revelling themselves? perhaps a few sore heads this morning? after beating the usa by the biggest margins in12 years. team europe have been celebrating ever since. and who can blame them? it really was an emphatic victory in paris and away from the thunder claps and the post box fancy dress, much of the talk from the team has been about the teamwork, the friendships and the passion they showed across the three days. led by thomas bjorn, who tweeted this early this morning... "when you need to go to bed but you don t want to let go!" by the looks of things, he wasn‘t the only one. i‘m happy to say he has been up and about with the trophy since then, but he told our correspondent andy swiss they did let their hair down —

some more than others. there's a lot of celebrations going on, a lot of dancing going on, a lot of emotions, a lot of hard work. it is a tough week for them so they came back to the hotel last night and they had a good time together, with everyone involved in this. this is not me or 12 men, this is the whole team behind. caddies and the whole backroom team. everyone was there last night having a good time. a lot of people put a lot of hard work into the ryder cup and they deserve a good night. anyone in particular leading the dancing? tommy fleetwood should not show his dancing to the world. he is better at playing golf, i think. he was also asked about a tattoo he promised to get if europe won by a big margin. he‘d pledged to get the scoreline tattooed. i couldn‘t possibly

tell you where though. the sight of two boxers having to be separated shouldn‘t come as a surprise but should we be taking it seriously? tyson fury and deontay wilder appeared to have to be separated at their press conference to announce the venue for their world heavyweight title fight. it will take place on december 1st at the staples center in los angeles. it‘s only fury‘s third fight since coming back injune from more than 18 months out of the ring. they will fight for wilder‘s wbc belt, the only one fury didn‘t win off vladmir klitschko before having to give them up. it‘s hoped the winner will fight anthony joshua to become the undisputed world heavyweight champion.

it isa it is a day to be great move, but two fights, ten fights, it doesn't really matter. i'm a fighting man, i'm a boxing match. i really matter. i'm a fighting man, i'm a boxing match. lam even fighting to be sat here today. every day i wake up is a fight. deontay wilder doesn't have anything i'm afraid at all. he doesn't possess anything i'm afraid of was good. this is a mega— fight. you have got two different personalities, charismatic guys, fuelled with energy and emotion sometimes gets the best of them. when we are put in a room together, you can feel the energy to the point where you need security, to the point where people seem to feel the intensity of the fight, so this is a huge fight.

manchester united are back in champions league action this week but the focus remains on manager jose mourinho and his future at old trafford. the club‘s now endured their worst start to a season for 29 years after suffering a 3—1 defeat at west ham at the weekend. preparations continued ahead of their clash with valencia tomorrow night however mourinho has denied that another defeat would cost him hisjob and says it‘s everyone‘s responsibility. everybody in the club has a role to play. everybody has a role to play. the kit man has a role to play, the nutritionist has a role to play, i have a role to play. when we win we all win, when we lose we all lose. and when we lose the responsibility is the responsibility of everyone. that‘s all the sport for now. the eu commission has criticised the foreign secretary jeremy hunt for his comments comparing the european union to the soviet union.

let‘s remind ourselves ofjeremy hunt‘s words during his party conference speech yesterday. you, european friends, seem to think the way to keep the club together is to punish a member who leaves. not just with economic disruption but even by breaking up the united kingdom with a border down the irish sea. what happened to the confidence and ideals of the european dream? the e and ideals of the european dream? theeu and ideals of the european dream? the e u was set up to protect freedom. it was the soviet union that stop people leaving. the lesson from history is clear. if you turn the eu club into a prison, the desire to get out of it would diminish, it will grow, and we won‘t be the only prisoner that will want to escape. in reply today, the european commission spokesperson margaritis schinas said, "respectfully, we would all benefit, "and in particular foreign affairs ministers, "from opening a history

book from time to time." officials from former soviet states such as latvia and estonia offered similar criticism. well, lord ricketts, who served as the chief civil servant within the foreign office between 2006 and 2010, has also criticised the foreign secretary‘s comments, describing it as "rubbish unworthy of a british "foreign secretary." lord rickettsjoins me now. how seriously should you take these comments? he is appealing to the party faithful. it is a difficult time for the conservatives because there are divisions over brexit. everyone understands that at a party conference the rhetoric is heated up but as the foreign secretary you have to think about what your words mean, and not just have to think about what your words mean, and notjust in the hall but outside as well. i was really shocked that he should choose to compare the eu in any way with the soviet union. that‘s incredibly

insensitive, not least of the countries that were in the soviet union and are now members of the eu and are very glad to be. as foreign secretary you‘ve got to make sure you are not insensitive and disrespectful to other countries. do you think he really understood what the reaction from some of those countries was going to be?” the reaction from some of those countries was going to be? i bet he didn‘t think about it and didn‘t understand, which is not great as a foreign secretary, or he did and went ahead anyway. i‘m not sure which of those is better. he has got to learn that if you are going to be taken with respect around the world, you have got to watch your language. if you were still at the foreign office, what would you be saying to him? i hope i would have the courage to say that to him, that you have got to understand that everyone is listening to you. but i‘ve also want to get at the underlying point that he was making, that somehow the eu are out to punish us. i hear this narrative around a lot but it is a

total misunderstanding of what the eu are doing. they are trying to stick up for their own rules, their respect for the rule of law, it is a law —based organisation, and they have laws about what you need to do to bea have laws about what you need to do to be a member of the single market. they are not trying to punish this country. a conservative mp has responded to your criticism by saying what you said damages the represent —— reputation of the diplomatic service. that is a very odd thing to say. the extraordinary thing is whatjeremy hunt said in the party conference. is it your place as a former civil servant to criticise a serving secretary of the? i am now retired, i am only speaking for myself, i think i have the same freedom of speech that everybody else has, and i see it as my role as a former civil servant to call up what i see as disrespectful or misleading comments from whatever party. i would have been equally critical if i had heard that from

another political party. it is a point about misunderstanding the impact of words on the european union and misunderstanding this point about them wanting to punish us. the brexit secretary dominic raab has said today that there needs to be more understanding between people of different opinions on brexit within the conservative party and beyond. how much of that contrast in tone from dominic raab is in response to the reaction to jeremy hunt? i was interested to see that he did take a much more moderate, restrained tone, including in the interview you just had with him, and as a negotiator that is a very good thing because we should all be about trying to create the circumstances where we can have a deal here. i hope that reflects, thinking about the impact, it will be very important what to be prime minister strikes as well because that will be really covered in europe. the overall tone of the

conference is a bit more constructive and pragmatic than that. people will put it behind them but they may still questioned jeremy hunt‘sjudgment. but they may still questioned jeremy hunt'sjudgment. thank you very much. one of france‘s most popular singers, charles aznavour, has died. he was 94. during a career which lasted more than 70 years, he recorded more than a thousand songs and sold more than 100 million records around the world. emma jane kirby looks back at his life. but you never know how love takes over. franz tost my answer to frank sinatra. charles aznavour may have stood at only five tall but online readers of time magazine once voted him as being bigger than elvis. he

wrote well over 700 songs and recorded more than a thousand tracks, but throughout his life, the gaelic crooner remained self—deprecating. he often claimed his shortcomings included his voice, his shortcomings included his voice, his height and his lack of personality. i am still single but happy. but he did have a certain genus acquire, even if he himself could not quite put his finger on what it was. to tell you the truth, i don't know exactly, but i believe it's because i am dealing with a sadness and melancholy, and with everyday's little sadness and melancholy, and with eve ryday's little trouble. sadness and melancholy, and with everyday's little trouble. with problems of the ageing man, with the young girl, or the lost love, the difficulty of the anniversary day, the woman who let herself go. the son of armenian immigrants, charles aznavour started out as a child

actor but soon turned his attention to songwriting. his talent grab the attention of edith piazza, she sang his songs and asked him to tour with her and finally became his mentor, encouraging him to go for solo. dance. the old—fashioned way. encouraging him to go for solo. dance. the old-fashioned way. by the late 60s, he had become an international superstar. singing in several languages and performing with all the big names. he also enjoys huge fame on the big screen. he once even won a best actor award at cannes. she may be the reason i survive. the why and where four i'm alive. the one idea for through the rough. charles aznavour remained a showman to the end of his life. although he

gave many final concerts, he could never quite say goodbye. i‘ll keep on singing, he said once, until i forget the words or fall off the stage. she. 0h, she. let‘s get more on this now from jd beauvallet, who‘s music editor of the french weekly "les inrocks". thank you very much forjoining us. how did charles aznavour managed to stay performing for such a long time? there is so much competition these days. his career was based on these days. his career was based on the sadness and i think sadness keeps you alive for ever. if you hear his songs, they are very

melancholic, and that kept him alive, that drive and capacity to find his place in the world. there was always this desire to find his place in the world, which is actually, he was from an armenian background and moved to france when he was a kid and that gave him a drive that nobody had. because he was very drive that nobody had. because he was very popular in parts of the world where they are not french speakers. yes, he was popular in many countries. i don‘t think his singing in english was his best. i love his voice when he sings in french. he had a big support in the armenian community, especially in new york, where he played regularly. but he just got back from japan before he died and i think he was intending to die onstage. u nfortu nately, intending to die onstage. unfortunately, he died in his bed. but i think the melancholy is what

we should remember. people compare him to frank sinatra and i think it‘s wrong to compare them. frank sinatra never sang about difficult issues. he never talked about physical love, you never talked about issues such as homophobia. that was very brave back in the 70s in france. he wrote a classic song which is all about tackling homophobia. that is a very strong statement, especially in those days. ahead of his time. thank you very much for giving us your thoughts on the life of charles aznavour. don‘t you love how the french say melancholy? jamie robertson is here in a moment with all the business news. first, a look at the headlines on afternoon live. the uk will send a team of aid workers to indonesia to help with the aftermath

of the earthquake and tsunami that‘s killed hundreds of people. the chancellor tells the conservative party conference a brexit deal will boost the uk economy, describing it as a ‘deal dividend‘ and the parents of a girl who died after suffering an allergic reaction to a sandwich on a flight continue their campaign for better food labelling here are your business headlines on afternoon live. ford has offered to refund thousands of pounds to customers whose engines have failed, following a bbc investigation. hundreds of customers have said their cars with ford ecoboost engines have overheated, causing engine failure or even bursting into flames. tesco bank has been fined £16m by the uk financial regulator for failings during a cyber attack on its customers in november two years ago. the financial conduct authority said the bank had failed to exercise due skill, care and diligence in protecting its personal current account holders. the fraudsters got away with £2.25 million.

tesco bank said all the money had been refunded to account holders. restaurants will be legally barred from keeping tips from staff under plans to be announced by theresa may on monday. high street chains will be forced to pass on all service charges to workers. the move follows a public outcry over the practice by some restaurants of skimming off a share of tips. what are businesses saying? they are reacting quite strongly to the opinions in the conservative party. you have got the former brexit minister steve baker who says the cbi is a grave menace to the political stability of economic prospects in the uk. and then philip hammond, the chancellor, saying that

the conservatives are not the party of business. in reply to all that, a lot of business people are saying investment is really struggling at the moment and it is directly because of brexit. that is the reason, because of the uncertainty over brexit. in the car industry, in the first half of the year, we saw investment in the car industry half. that quite considerable. that drop of isa that quite considerable. that drop of is a serious problem. we talk to a chief economist. especially on the back of some pretty disappointing data that we got from ons last week which showed that manufacturing investment has already ta ken that manufacturing investment has already taken a hit in the first half of this year and i think that isa half of this year and i think that is a trend we are going to have to get used to. companies are not piling to do much more in the way of increased investment. political uncertainty is at the heart of those decisions. the first factor is

clearly about brexit. over half of our members say they are only doing what is necessary, or holding off completely until they have got some clarity over the brexit deal, so that does seem to be the big factor in all of this. the budget can start to counteract some of that uncertainty. i think it is looking at some form of grants support or accelerated depreciation for companies to encourage those decisions on plant and machinery. this is an uncertainty that is not facing some of our competitors. we've already got a productivity gap, we already know that organisations are forecasting weaker investment growth in the uk compared to other g7 economies, and this is something we should be much more forensically focused on at the moment in the uk. it really is quite serious, what they are saying about the lack of investment. and tesco have been fine. yes, £16

million. for tesco that is not a huge amount of money but it isn‘t good. that is because of a hacking attack which took away about £2.25 million worth of money out of tesco banks customers. so it has been fine because it india without properly. at the same time, we have had some figures out from algae and it has —— aldi, and it has thrown the gauntlet down to jack‘s, the new tesco store. it is their new very low—cost stall, named afterjack owens, who started off tesco in 1919. —— jack cohen. aldi turned around this week and

said their profits are up 30% and they are aiming to open another 200 stores also this year. they are going to have 1500 stores by 2025. so, tesco, the gauntlet has been thrown down. a lot of competition. i clearly need to diversify my shopping habits. other supermarket brands are available. just going to show you the situation in washington, where we are expecting president trump to make a statement in a short while about this latest trade deal that the united states has struck with canada and mexico. jamie was talking about it in the last hour. it was described by the president as a wonderful deal. we will hear what he‘s got to say about that. it

day on wednesday, a bit of a cloudy start, wales and south—west england will see more in the way of cloud but it will become brighter. for northern ireland, scotland and the far north of england, outbreaks of rain in the north—west. are little warmer in the north with highs between ten and 16 celsius. slightly fresher in the south—east but not bad. hello, you‘re watching afternoon live — i‘m martine croxall. today at 4.00pm. frantic rescue efforts are continuing to find survivors trapped in the rubble. this is what remains of this fishing community, what was tightly packed houses and shops all now reduced to rubble. the chancellor tells the conservative party conference a brexit deal will boost the uk economy. when the prime minister gets a deal agreed,

there will be a boost to our economic growth, a deal dividend. the parents of a girl who died of an allergic reaction after eating a pret sandwich have told the bbc that without better food labelling more deaths are inevitable. with every minute and every hour that passes, we are sitting and the uk are sitting on a time bomb of someone dying yet again. that is how serious it is. coming up on afternoon live all the sport with holly. we will be hearing from thomas bjorn, europe‘s captain, after the vatican victory in paris. and tyson fu ry‘s press vatican victory in paris. and tyson fury‘s press conference in london. all the details at 4:30pm. thanks holly and lucy martin has all the weather — lucy. october is here, it is a fairly cool

star to things. temperatures in the mid teens. it will warm up. more cloud. thanks lucy. also coming up — the french singer—songwriter and actor, charles aznavour has died at the age of 94. # she may be the reason i survive # the why and wherefore i‘m alive # the one i‘ll care for through the rough and ready years hello everyone — this is afternoon live — i‘m martine croxall. president trump is due to hold a news conference on the new trade agreement that has been struck between the united states, mexico and canada. it replaces the north america free trade agreement. these are live pictures from the white house. we‘ll bring you that live when it happens. the uk is to send a team

of aid workers to indonesia, as desperate efforts continue there to rescue people trapped after the devastating earthquake and tsunami. 844 people are known to have been killed, but there are fears the final number of dead could be thousands. survivors are running out of food, power and clean water. the united nations says almost 200,000 people need emergency help, and the department for international development has confirmed it will be sending £2 million to help those left homeless. the quake was magnitude 7.5, and hit the island of sulawesi on friday, with tsunami waves along the coast up to six metres high. many of the dead are in the city of palu. indonesia‘s disaster response agency has also told the bbc that none of the country‘s detector buoys was working before friday‘s tsunami and that they had either been damaged by vandals or stolen. our correspondent rebecca henschke

reports from palu. from above you get a sense of the scale of the destruction here in palu and the huge task for rescue workers. hundreds of homes, shops and livelihoods destroyed. desperate people are now trying to salvage anything of worth from the debris. this is what remains of this fishing community. what was tightly—packed houses and shops are now reduced to rubble. people here say they only had a few minutes‘ warning after that strong quake on friday, to flee to higher ground when they saw huge waves coming in. those that could survive, did so by clinging onto trees and buildings. now, families are camping out in the open like this family over

here, that‘s collected what they can and are surviving off the food they have. no power here and very little fresh food or freshwater. translation: until now, there's been no aid at all, not even a tent. i‘m hoping the government will send tents because all our houses have been destroyed, all 49 homes. there's no signal for communications and even you know gas, everyone is killing for this. especially the supply of food, it's very limited. up in the hillside, authorities have dug mass graves, enough for thousands of bodies in an attempt to stop the spread of disease. amongst the despair, there are also heroes. this 21—year—old air—traffic controller, antonius, died making sure a flight took off safely when the quake hit. and against the odds, rescue workers managed to pull survivors from this hotel that completely collapsed

in the huge quake. for the people who are managing to get into the city, road travel is very difficult. there‘s been landslides in the hills up here. the airport remains closed so the traffic, as you can see is bumper—to—bumper with people who can get in. there is now almost no petrol in palu, which is also making rescue efforts difficult. community members here say there are bodies still amongst the rubble. people who are still missing. you can smell decomposing bodies here. but they don‘t have the energy resources to do about it. under difficult circumstances, the community here is pulling together, sharing what food and water they have. but with power still completely off and supplies running very low, things are tense. the city is almost out of petrol.

the people queueing for hours to get what‘s left. and there has been more looting today. strong after—shocks continue to be felt, making life even harder here. we have had a statement that the department the international william billingham has been found over guilty of murdering his eight—year—old daughter. william billingham found guilty of killing his daughter in january, billingham found guilty of killing his daughter injanuary, with a fatal stab to the chest. the chancellor, phillip hammond, has urged

conservatives to get behind the prime minister‘s brexit strategy and told the party conference she would secure a deal with the european union which would lead to a brexit bounce for the economy. our political correspondent chris mason reports from birmingham. speech day for the chancellor at a conference goes something like this: get up at daft o‘clock to do countless telly and radio interviews, and then be the bloke in a factory, as you go for a wander around the workplace with the boss. here was philip hammond, earlier at an engineering firm down the road from the conference centre. the thing is before he had even had a chance to roll up at the lectern in the hall, a deep—pocketed conservative donor had already had a pop at him and theresa may. i think the prime minister has let herself down personally by not being a champion of business to the extent that she could be or should be. you could make the legitimate excuse that she is so busy on brexit, she has not been able to focus on it, but post—brexit, this is one of the key things

that the conservative party must address. where it stands on enterprise and innovation. when the chancellor did get back to the conference centre, he struck back. business came first, he said. that is why we back business. we back business as the cornerstone of a successful economy. as a force for good in our society, and as an essential expression of our values. where possible, on the main hall, and on the fringes, conservatives are trying to talk about stuff other than brexit. but pretty much every conversation comes back to that topic. it is the goliath stalking these corridors. and one that the chancellor had to acknowledge as he defended the prime minister‘s brexit plan. iam going i am going to stick my neck and make

a prediction. that when the minister get a deal agreed, there will be a boost for the economy, we will keep taxes low, support public services, reducing the deficit and investing in britain‘s future. earlier, the man whose every professional waking hour is devoted to exit, took on those calling for another referendum. it was close, but it was clear, britain voted to leave the eu. respecting the result, that is the essence of our democracy, and i have to say, i am heartened by the fact that the majority of those who voted to remain have accepted the referendum verdict. but don‘t expect any fireworks from government ministers on brexit here this week. the real action is likely to be elsewhere, when this conference is over. chris mason, bbc news, birmingham. our chief political correspondent vicki young

is at the conference let‘s join her now. the main hall, there is and that much of a mention about brexit. it does seem to be happening elsewhere on the fringes, but of course, it is something that everyone here wants to hear more about. that discuss this a bit more, i am joined by the environment secretary, michael gove. let‘s talk about your speech. if i could ask you about the tragic case of natasha ednan—laperouse, that is your department, what you say to them? this your department, what you say to them ? this has your department, what you say to them? this has been a loophole, it has had a tragic outcome. it is terrible and tragic. my heart goes out to be parents. it is unimaginable to face the type of loss that they face, and we do need to act. as soon as i was told about this case, i asked the department to look at what we could do to more

effectively enforce the rules, and revisit rules overall, in order to ensure that everybody is safe. i hope to have the chance, i‘m waiting to talk to notjust hope to have the chance, i‘m waiting to talk to not just the hope to have the chance, i‘m waiting to talk to notjust the bony department, but people in the food industry, i want to make sure that we get the right laws in place, quickly, because a tragedy like this teaches us all the vital importance of acting to keep children and all of acting to keep children and all of us say. now to talk about your speech, and the others we have heard in the hall today, ie concerned that the party does not have a message beyond brexit? it is taking up so much time, so much effort, that actually you will not attract voters wa nt actually you will not attract voters want is over? i thought it was an excellent speech, action. i thought his analysis of analysis of some of the things that we need to do a spot on. in my own area, i am trying to make sure that we keep a focus on both the opportunities that brexit brings, but some of the conservative changes. brexit means that we can

get rid of the common agricultural policy and its brokers see, the common fisheries policy, we can take back control of our own waters. it is also the case that things that are big issues which rightly worried the british public, for example the toxic tide of plastic in our oceans, we are taking charge of that, as well. philip hammond without sleeping right to remind us that they should lead to renewal for the conservative party, but also for the party. that is what we try to do in my department, and other departments are trying to do, as well. the small matter of getting a deal from the european union, and the deal at the moment is rose‘s chequers bland. there have been some strong criticism saying that cabinet ministers, brexiteers like you, will be remembered for generations for not backing a true brexit. because you are backing the chequers land. what you said that? dominic ryan gave a brilliant speech this

morning. he made the point that mac dominic ryan. but we would have a chance to be outside the single market, outside thejustice and home affairs pillar, outside the common. . . affairs pillar, outside the common... outside the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice, that most people would have bitten his hand off and said, yes, this is actually grew what this referendum would achieve. if —— we would hope to achieve. i think the proposal ensures that we can leave the european union, having achieved all those things, and at the same time, we also ensure that we get tariff read trade for our farmers and our exporters. what about those who raised the prospect... actually you have raised be concept that you could change some of this along the line. some business deal bad about that, because they are worried that they would have to adapt further

down the line again. the chancellor made it clear that there would be a brexit dividend. as people feel, great, this is our new relationship, and it is set, no. many years ahead, we did know what the prime and is the would want to do, but i think chequers is the right approach. michael gove, 20 very much, indeed. tomorrow, borisjohnson, michael gove, 20 very much, indeed. tomorrow, boris johnson, former colleague of michael gove, he will be here having a very different perspective on it chequers bland. —— chequers plan. a man has been found guilty of murdering his eight—year—old daughter. williams billingham killed his daughter in january daughter. williams billingham killed his daughter injanuary with one fatal stab to the chest. he was also found guilty of attempted to kill his former partner. we can talk to our correspond at birmingham crown court. what has happened today?- you said, william billingham, a

father of six was found guilty today of murdering his eight—year—old daughter, mylee, who was described as those who know her as kind, warm hearted, gentle child. on 20th of january this year, her father dragged her by the hood of her coat, back into his property in the bungalow and stabbed her to death. it was one fatal stab to the test yamac chest that took her life. it was so vicious that the wound went through her entire body from the back to the front. today, he was told that he was guilty found of not only that, but also trying to kill his ex—partner, tracey, who was in court and blast as the verdict was read out. when they got out of the court, tracy and herfamily read out. when they got out of the court, tracy and her family were read out. when they got out of the court, tracy and herfamily were in tea rs, court, tracy and herfamily were in tears, whilst william billingham showed no emotion at all and was led out of the dock with his head down but no emotion on his face to show how he felt after the verdict was

read out, today. by unanimousjury reaching the decision of guilty on this two counts. thank you very much. our correspond in there with the latest from birmingham crown court where that case has just completed. let‘s cut to the white house. president trump will be speaking soon about this new trade deal that has been struck between the united states and canada and mexico, replacing the north american free trade agreement. it has been somewhat fraught in the making. there were all sorts of suggestions that they might not actually managed to actually strike a deal, as we know, president trump has made a big deal about putting america first. that was one of his campaign pledges. he was very much of the

view that america often misses out when it comes to trade deals. america in his view has been far too open to trade coming in from other parts of the world, in particular china, of course, as we know. he has imposed all sorts of saxons, particularly on chinese deal. he has accused china of dumping product on the united states to create an enormous trade balance which she does not feel is in the interest of the united states of america, but it is damaging to industry, damaging to jobs, and of course, that sort of promise has been very much of appeal to his support base. here repeated —— he repeated those accusations towards china last week in front of the chinese premier at the general assembly of the united nations. so, we are waiting to hear the nature of this new trade agreement between the us, mexico and canada. will be back there any minute now.

the father of natasha ednan—laperouse who died after eating a pret a manger sandwich on board a flight to france has described how he had to ring his wife to tell her their daughter was going to die. natasha went into cardiac arrest on the flight to nice, after buying the baguette at heathrow airport in 2016. herfather nadim and her mother tanya have today spoken in detail about what happened for the first time since an inquest ended last week. he called me and he said, "she‘s going to go completely in the next minute, maybe two. you have to say goodbye to her right now. right now, quickly, say goodbye to her. i am putting the phone by her is so she can hear you." no he said, "if she can hear you, she will hear you." and that‘s when i said goodbye to her and as i finished, hejust said thank you, hung up to then call up and speak to her brother, who would also get an opportunity to say goodbye to her. let‘s cross and hear from president

trump. i want to thank you for being here. congressman holding, congressmen wrote, and meadows, thank you very much for being here. you have been instrumental, thank you. iam you have been instrumental, thank you. i am thrilled to speak to the american people, to share truly historic news for our nation. and indeed, for the world. i want to thank vice president p forjoining us, -- thank vice president p forjoining us, —— pence. we have completed a brand—new deal to terminate and

replace the north american free trade agreement. it is now called us mca. that‘ll be the name that many of us will be hearing. it has a good ring to it. i have lost and ended —— long contended that the north american free trade agreement was the worst trade agreement ever made. it is a much higher number than that. with canada and mexico, it lost vast amounts of money, and it lost 4.1 million manufacturing jobs, and one infour million manufacturing jobs, and one in four autojobs. that million manufacturing jobs, and one in four auto jobs. that is about 25% of our autojobs, even more in four auto jobs. that is about 25% of our auto jobs, even more than that. throughout the campaign, i promise to renegotiate nafta, and

today we have kept that promise, but after many years as a businessman, i have always said, how can anyone signa have always said, how can anyone sign a deal like nafta, and i watched new england, and nafta, people were leaving, people were being fired, and we can‘t have that. so we have negotiated this new agreement, based on the principle of fairness and reciprocity, to me it is the most important word in trade, because we have been treated so u nfa i rly because we have been treated so unfairly by so many nations all over the world, we are changing that. we have decided a much better deal with south korea, we had a horrible, horrible deal, and we just signed at the united nations, and that has worked out well, and they are happy and we are happy. it‘s good forjobs and we are happy. it‘s good forjobs and good for a lot of things. when that deal was signed, they said 250,000 jobs will be given by sony ‘s transaction, and they were right. i have said before, they were right.

—— signing this transaction. german 50,000 jobs to south korea, not the united states. one point... this makes it the biggest trader in history. —— in united states‘ history. applause no matter when you called him, he was in the office, or somebody else‘s office doing the same thing. bob lighthouses great. i said i would want him to get it done, because he felt the same way i did. and the entire team‘s alley behind me, and some here in the audience, i

wa nt to me, and some here in the audience, i want to thank you. and you all. —— thank you all. fantastic group of people, they love our country. i also want to thank several others, secretary nielsen, jared kushner, peter navarro and the united states ambassador to canada, kelly kraft. thank you kelly. i also want to thank the president of mexico who we had a few disagreements, but i really like him a lot. i think you may like me, i‘m not sure. but i think he is a terrific person, and he will be leaving soon, but he has really done a good job, and a wonderful, wonderful person. and the mexican president elect, who has given his support to this agreement,

and we are developing a really good relationship, which think is really important for our country, frankly, and mexico. so, together we work on this. i said, and mexico. so, together we work on this. isaid, look, idon‘t and mexico. so, together we work on this. i said, look, i don‘t want to sign an agreement, and then a new president comes in, they don‘t like it and we have difficulty. they worked very much together on it, and i appreciated it from both. i have two certainly give my highest regard to the prime minister of canada, justin trudeau, a lot of stories came out about justin justin trudeau, a lot of stories came out aboutjustin and i having difficulty together, and we did over the trade deal, but i tell you, it has turned out to be a very, very good dealfor both, and a very, very good dealfor both, and a very, very good dealfor all three. it puts us ina good dealfor all three. it puts us in a position that we have never beenin in a position that we have never been in before. it is very good when you look at the world and what the world is doing, and when you look at the unfettered trade practices that countries are using against the united states. this is a terrific

dealfor all united states. this is a terrific deal for all of united states. this is a terrific dealfor all of us. united states. this is a terrific deal for all of us. once approved by congress, this new deal will be the most modern, up—to—date and balanced trade agreement in the history of our country. with the most advanced protection for workers, ever developed. if you look at the reviews, people who would normally not under any circumstances say good things, because automatically, they have to say bad, even some democrats say that‘s amazing. they haven‘t been given the sound bites yet, i guess, but actually, you had some democrats saying, this is really amazing if he really got all of that. by tomorrow, i suspect they will have changed their tune. but that‘s ok, because people know how good it is. it is an amazing deal for all to people. likewise, good it is. it is an amazing deal forall to people. likewise, it good it is. it is an amazing deal for all to people. likewise, it will be the most advanced trade deal in the world, with ambitious provisions on the digital economy, patents, financial services and other areas where the united states has a strong

competitive advantage. mexico and canada have agreed to strong new labour protections, environmental and is, and new protections for intellectual property. so important. this new deal is an especially great victory for ourfarmers, ourfarmers have gone through a lot of the last 15 years. they have been taken advantage by everybody, prices have gone that way down, and we are working on other deals which will make them happy also, but this is a big dealfor ourfarmers. mexico and canada will be opened up a lot more than they are now. and i think there will be a better spirit between the three countries, which is important for our farmers. three countries, which is important for ourfarmers. if the three countries, which is important for our farmers. if the agreement will give ourfarmers for our farmers. if the agreement will give our farmers and ranchers far greater access. the deal includes a substantial increase in our farmers‘

includes a substantial increase in ourfarmers‘ opportunities includes a substantial increase in our farmers‘ opportunities to export american wheat, poultry, eggs and dairy, including milk, butter, cheese, you get and ice cream, to namea cheese, you get and ice cream, to name a few. i want to be very specific. applause i want to be very specific. write? and many other products, but those products were not really being treated fairly in terms of those who worked so hard to produce them, but now they will be treated fairly. these measures will support hundreds of thousands of american jobs. this is also a historic win for american manufacturers, and american autoworkers who have been treated so badly. we have lost so manyjobs over the years and the nafta. under the current new deal, and if you like at the current nafta deal, the new deal is taking care of all of these problems, because nafta,

foreign companies have been allowed to manufacture many of their parts david sees, ship them to mexico and canada for assembly, and send their —— their parts overseas, ship them to mexico and canada and send them with no tax. so we let all our people go, we fire everybody, they make cars, they make products, they make cars, they make products, they make everything, in another country, they send them into the united states, no tax. and because it is very little different, sometimes it is more for those people that like to talk about cost, with this agreement, we are closing all these terrible loopholes. they are closed, they are gone. they were a disaster. for example, we are requiring a large portion of every car to be made by high wage workers, which will greatly reduce foreign outsourcing, which was a tremendous problem. it means more to parts and automobiles will be manufactured inside the united states. we will be manufacturing many more cars. and our companies would be leaving the

united states, firing their workers, and building their cars elsewhere. there is no longer that incentive. before, and the nafta deal, they had that incentive, they had the opposite incentive. that was to me the most wouldn‘t think. i don‘t wa nt to the most wouldn‘t think. i don‘t want to see other companies leave and fire workers, and our workers never getjobs to replace those. those days are over. this deal will also impose new standards requiring at least 75% of every automobile to be made in north america in order to qualify for the privilege of free access to our markets, and that is what it is. it is a privilege. we don‘t get at the privilege. we don‘t get as a privilege, it is the village for them to do business with us will stop —— a privilege. i‘m not taking about mexico. i‘m looking at everybody. it is a privilege for china to do business with us. it is

a privilege for the european union, who has treated us very badly, but thatis who has treated us very badly, but that is coming along. japan, every country, it is a privilege for them to come in and attack the piggy bank. in this, we will have a result of much more happening right here in the united states. it means more than everything else, far more americanjobs than everything else, far more american jobs and these are high—qualityjobs. they american jobs and these are high—quality jobs. they are american jobs and these are high—qualityjobs. they are strong provisions to enforce the rules of origin requirements, to incentivise billions of dollars in new purchases of us made automobiles. once approved, this will be a new dawn for the american auto industry, and that the american auto worker. they will see. they understand. they voted for us in large numbers, even though their leadership always goes

democrat. a couple of them said, i did there how i can do it again. many of them, the leaders would back democrats and would say, you are going to get most of the votes to me. from union workers, and we got most of the votes from workers period. but the american auto worker was very period. but the american auto worker was very much behind what we were doing as one primary aspect. it will transform north america back into a manufacturing powerhouse. due member the previous administration said, we‘re not been to have manufacturing jobs any more, essentially. we are not going to make things any more? no. just the opposite. it will be a manufacturing powerhouse that allows us to reclaim a supply chain that has been shored to the world, because of unfair trade issues. —— offshore to the world. we also provide protections for biologic drugs which make north america ——

will make north america a haven for developing. we want our drugs to be made here. we don‘t like getting prescription drugs from foreign countries. we don‘t know how they are being made all stop this landmark agreement will send cash and jobs pouring into the united states, and into north america. good canada, good from mexico, instead of jobs leaving for overseas. they will be returning back home, and we have already had it, we have many, many car companies. i will with the —— i was with the premise that of japan who said we have sent many car companies of united states over the last year and a half. it‘s true. big expansions. he said many more are coming. because they have an incentive now to be here. people wa nt to incentive now to be here. people want to be backing the united states again. asi want to be backing the united states again. as i say, the united states is respecting again, but it is also respected as to trade and industry. this is a truly extraordinary

achievement for the united states, canada and mexico. it is so important that the president and i have developed this sort of bond, a bond on trade. a man that has done a very good job for mexico in terms of trade. and the prime minister of canada, who i just trade. and the prime minister of canada, who ijust spoke to. they love their countries, they want to do right by their countries, and thatis do right by their countries, and that is what they have done. we have formed a great partnership with mexico and canada, and i plan to sign the agreement by the end of november, i then will submit it for approval to congress, where they should be no trouble, but anything you submit to congress, there is trouble. it is the single greatest

agreement ever sign, but they will say, trump likes it, therefore we are not going to approve it. that would be bad for the democrats. this agreement follows on the heels of our successful completion of a new and balanced trade deal with south korea. tremendous difference in that dealfrom korea. tremendous difference in that deal from what it was. it was a disaster. to improve the old deal, that had killed so manyjobs. it also follows our announcement last week of a new trade negotiation with japan. japan would never negotiate with the united states. they toured the previous administration, we are not going to negotiate. i said, you don‘t have too negotiate, but we are going to put a very substantial tax on your car going to put a very substantial tax on yourcar if going to put a very substantial tax on your car if you don‘t. without tariffs, we would not be talking about a deal. just for those babies

out there, that includes congress, please don‘t charge tariffs. without tariffs, we wouldn‘t be standing here. all of these folks would not be standing here right now. but japan is wanting to negotiate. actually, they called about three weeks ago and he is a terrific man. hejust had a weeks ago and he is a terrific man. he just had a tremendous victory. he said, we would like to start negotiations immediately. india, which is the tariff king. they called us and they said, we want to start negotiations immediately. they said, we want to keep your president happy. isn‘t that nice? it‘s true. they have to keep us happy because they understand that we are wise to what has been happening. india charges tariffs of 100%. and then if

we wa nt charges tariffs of 100%. and then if we want to put a tariff of 25% on, they will say, that is not free trade. i ask, they will say, that is not free trade. iask, where they will say, that is not free trade. i ask, where do they come from? so trade. i ask, where do they come from ? so because trade. i ask, where do they come from? so because of the power of ta riffs from? so because of the power of tariffs and the power we have with tariffs, we in many cases won‘t even have to use them. that is how powerful they are and how good they are, but in many cases we are not going to have to use them. in many cases, countries charging massive ta riffs cases, countries charging massive tariffs are eliminating those tariffs. as you know, we have $250 billion and 25% interest with china right now and we could go $267 billion more, and china wants to talk, very badly. i said, frankly, it is too early to talk. they have been ripping us off for so many yea rs. been ripping us off for so many years. it doesn‘t happen that quickly. and if politically people force it to quickly, you are not

going to make the right deal for force it to quickly, you are not going to make the right dealfor our workers and our country. china wants to talk, and we want to talk to them, and we want them to continue to help us with north korea, that‘s very important. the european union, it has been very tough on the united states. last year and for many yea rs, states. last year and for many years, they have lost in the vicinity of $150 billion a year. they have massive trade barriers. and they didn‘t want to talk. jean—claude juncker, a great businessperson, head of the european union, my friend, isaid, we businessperson, head of the european union, my friend, i said, we want to make a deal. he goes, no, no, union, my friend, i said, we want to makea deal. he goes, no, no, no, union, my friend, i said, we want to make a deal. he goes, no, no, no, we are very make a deal. he goes, no, no, no, we are very happy. i said, we are not happy because we have one of the worst deals with the european union. they just didn‘t want to worst deals with the european union. theyjust didn‘t want to come because they were happy with the deal. i said, because they were happy with the deal. isaid, we because they were happy with the deal. i said, we are not happy with the deal. finally, after going

through the whole process, ijust said we are going to put a tax of 25% on all the mercedes and bmw, the millions of cars they sell a year, which they both take over there. farm products, because they have barriers, ourfarmers are not allowed to sell over there, most of their products, and so i announce that we are going to put a 20% tariff on their cars coming in, could be 25%, and they immediately called and said, we would like to start negotiations. we will see what happens. who knows? i always say that. who knows? i have a feeling we will be successful. a pillar of national security is economic stability and trade. it is not where we lose hundreds of billions of dollars a year. over the last five yea rs, dollars a year. over the last five yea rs , we dollars a year. over the last five yea rs, we have dollars a year. over the last five years, we have averaged $800 billion a year loss on trade. how dumb is

that? $800 billion. this group doesn‘t know about those numbers, i don‘t want them to hear those numbers, but the united states has lost on average almost $800 billion a year dealing with china, dealing with the european union, with everybody. japan. mexico, canada. everybody. we are not going to allow that to happen. but we have do have a strong manufacturing base and manufacturing sector. we need a thriving economy. those are all essential ingredients to national security. we can‘t allow what has been happening over the last 25 yea rs been happening over the last 25 years to happen. we are building our military like never before. it will be the strongest it ever was and all of those jets and rockets and

missiles and ships, they are all being made in the united states. our economy is booming like never before. jobless claims are at a 50 year low. the stock market is at an all—time high. think of that. over 50% since my collection. people are so happy. i was telling the story i often tell of the policeman in new york who came up, his wife was a lwa ys york who came up, his wife was always very upset with him as an investor because he wasn‘t doing well with the 401. now she thinks he‘s a genius because the numbers are so crazy. but we are up 50% since the election. and you have heard me say this many times but african—american unemployment, asian unemployment, hispanic unemployment is at record lows in history, not

for the last two years. the history of our country, african—american, asian, hispanic, young people without high school diplomas, all at historic, that‘s a very hit important sector, all at historic lows. the lowest in history. this is helping so much with people to get out of prison. they can‘t get a job. employers don‘t want to hire them. the economy is so good they are hiring them and they are turning out to be incredible workers. they are given a chance, given a second, given a chance, given a second, given a chance, given a second, given a third chance in some cases, but i have had numerous employers, and say, i have taken people who we re and say, i have taken people who were in prison and we have hired them. he wouldn‘t have done this in a normal economy or a bad economy, and now he is the biggest fan. one

man in particular has taken numerous people. he said most of them has been unbelievable. that is a great thing. that is a really great thing. it gives them a chance. so before we ta ke it gives them a chance. so before we take questions, i want to extend our warmest condolences to the country of indonesia. a friend of mine, we are going to be calling up the leader, who is a great leader indeed, but they got hit by a giant tsunami, like people have not seen, this part of the world hasn‘t seen it so much. that is the worst of all, you look at the tornadoes, the harry kane is, the different natural disasters, a friend of mine who studies natural disasters, i don‘t know why he does that, he does, he says a tsunami is the worst of all and they got hit very hard. robert green thousands of people killed. we

have already sent a lot of first responders —— probably thousands of people killed. but it is a really bad, bad situation. and finally, before closing, i want to send my thoughts and prayers to the victims of the las vegas shooting. that was a horrible time in our country. it took place exactly one year ago today. all of america is grieving for the lives lost and the families they left behind. to all of those families and to the people of las vegas, we love you, we are with you, we are working with you very hard. it was a terrible, terrible event. thank you very much for that. i want to ask bob, who is eight horrific individual as well as a man that knows a lot about this subject, to

come out and say a word about the usmca agreement, and if you have any questions we will take some questions we will take some questions after that. applause. so we have president trump describing this as a wonderful deal. the usmca, the new united states—mexico—canada agreement, that replaces nafta. let‘s hear from our correspondent. it was all a bit near banter as to whether this deal would ever get struck. it is historic and brand—new, we are told. it went right to the wire last night, which was the deadline imposed by the white house. they wanted to get this signed before the change of government in mexico took place. they seem to have reached an agreement. the nuts and bolts have

not been published yet but what we do know is that canada has opened up parts of its dairy market to imports from the us. that is something donald trump had made a red line. but the canadians have also retained some of the arbitration system is that they were very keen on should stay in place, that the americans wanted to get rid of. there will be some debate over whether this is quite the revolutionary deal that the president portrays it as, but there have been some big changes, particularly in the manufacturing of cars. the amount of components that have to be manufactured in north america in order to enjoy the 0% tariffs when they move across borders within the north america area, that will rise significantly, up area, that will rise significantly, up to 75% over a few years. and also the amount of high—paid or higher paid workers who have to be used on a particular car in order to enjoy

those 0% tariffs, that will also increase substantially, which will mean fewerjobs in the manufacturing sector will go to mexico. he says it will transform north america back into a manufacturing powerhouse. he believes congress will pass it, he believes congress will pass it, he believes it will create hundreds of thousands of extra jobs, and perhaps most importantly of all it keeps a campaign promise that he made during the 2016 election. thank you. so lots of reaction in the business world from jamie. i think that last comment about the fa ct i think that last comment about the fact that the timing of this with the mid—term elections coming up is very important. also what is happening in mexico, the change of government, very happening in mexico, the change of government, very important. i will deal with my headlines first. the uk will send a team of aid workers to indonesia

to help with the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami that‘s killed hundreds of people. the chancellor tells the conservative party conference a brexit deal will boost the uk economy, describing it as a ‘deal dividend‘ and the parents of a girl who died after suffering an allergic reaction to a sandwich on a flight continue their campaign for better food labelling here‘s your business headlines on afternoon live. ford has offered to refund thousands of pounds to customers whose engines have failed, following a bbc investigation. hundreds of customers have said their cars with ford ecoboost engines have overheated, causing engine failure or even bursting into flames. tesco bank has been fined £16m by the uk financial regulator for failings during a cyber attack on its customers in november two years ago. the financial conduct authority said the bank had failed to exercise due skill, care and diligence in protecting its personal current account holders. the fraudsters got away with £2.25 million. tesco bank said all the money had
