tonight at ten: at the summit in brussels, theresa may urges eu leaders to show more flexibility, in the search for a brexit deal. on her way into the meeting, mrs may said a deal was still achievable and denied suggestions that her own proposals were no longer credible. by working intensively over the next days and weeks, i believe we can achieve a deal — a deal that i believe everybody wants and a deal that is in the interests notjust of the uk, but also of the european union. after the dinner, the prime minister left her fellow leaders to continue the talks, as the time to settle a brexit deal is rapidly running out. we'll have the latest from brussels. and we'll be getting reaction from business leaders. also tonight... turkish investigators enter the residence of the saudi consul in istanbul, to gather more evidence about the suspected killing of a saudi journalist. chaos on the rail network in parts of southern england and wales, after cable damage causes delays and cancellations. the takeaway food appjust eat facing questions about food hygiene

but the president of the european parliament said he'd heard nothing new in tonight's exchanges. the prime minister urged them to give ground on the issue of the irish border and the so—called backstop, a guarantee that after brexit, there will be no hard border between northern ireland and the republic. but there's no sign of any concrete progress tonight, as our political editor laura kuenssberg reports from brussels. she alone can't set the pace. the prime minister has to get brexit moving again, but does she have anything tucked away that can take the talks off pause? not that she's ready to tell us. there is still the question of the northern irish backstop. but i believe everybody wants to get a deal and by working intensively and closely, we can achieve that deal. i believe a deal is achievable and now is the time to make it happen. the eu's leaders are happy to press the flesh. mrjuncker, what more can

the prime minister tell you? what they want are new answers from theresa may. another way round brexit‘s biggest obstacle — how to manage the irish border after departure. but the eu wants a lot more than dressing the flesh. her counterparts we re dressing the flesh. her counterparts were clear, they wanted new solutions from theresa may on how to manage the irish border and that so—called backstop. disagreement on that led to the break—up of talks at the weekend. we just very much wish for prime minister theresa may to come with a strong mandate which we do not see yet at all. more time after brexit, what that help?” do not see yet at all. more time after brexit, what that help? i have always been of the view it could ta ke always been of the view it could take two years or more to negotiate a new eu uk treaty so there is merit in discussing the idea of a longer transition, but that cannot be an

alternative to a backstop in ireland, certainly not. so much to discuss, so many questions for the uk. a rare opportunity to make the big case. it is in this slightly psychedelic room that theresa may has the chance to get this vital process back on track. tonight, she can look her fellow leaders in the eye and appeal to them not to crash this crucial process before it has had a chance to come to an end. and with the talks stalled, getting the negotiations back up and running is the goal, but if the prime minister can't get this room on side, what chance of a final deal? then as the room filled, guess who did not come to dinner? the prime minister had about 20 minutes to plead with her colleagues. she asked for trust, courage and leadership from them all. romford and, she said, ofa from them all. romford and, she said, of a good outcome still, but then she left the room. almost immediately, one leader had this to

say. theresa may was more relaxed than at the salzburg summit, he said. that one that went so badly wrong. but there was no new content, according to him. none of the new facts the eu demanded, but can it still be done? remember the beginning? it is impossible to achieve an agreement on the rights of the european citizens leaving the uk. it is impossible! it is not easy for it to work, but it is possible. the message to her in the last few minutes, talks can keep going, but not enough has changed to make the difference. how did it go, prime minister? there is no easy retreat for theresa may here or back at home. so with the summit under way, let's take stock of where we are right now. the uk is due to leave the eu on march 29th next year. but in order to avoid leaving without that formal deal,

britain first needs to secure a ‘withdrawal agreement‘ that covers, among other things, the rights of citizens, how much the uk should pay the eu and, crucially, the future of the irish border. and this is where the so—called irish border ‘backstop' comes in. it's a kind of insurance policy to make sure that whatever happens, there will be no border checks in future between northern ireland and the republic. but so far, the uk and the eu have been unable to agree on the precise terms. and that is very important. and because of that, the withdrawal agreement won't be approved. and that's just one element, as the whole future relationship between the uk and the eu still needs to be agreed. in brussels tonight, our political editor laura kuenssberg, our europe editor katya adler, and in the city of london, our business editor simon jack. for if finance perspective. laura,

with some of these suggestions, that there might be the possibility of extending the transition period as it is called after brexit, is that something theresa may would be interested in? well, it is something a senior eu source told reporters tonight she said she was ready to consider at the dinner with eu leaders tonight. she had that brief 20 minutes when she was able to address them and according to sources in brussels, she did indicate she would be ready to think about that. but so far, this summit has been the story of the good, bad and the ugly. good because eu leaders have indicated talks can get under way again, it is not a doomsday summit where it is all falling apart. bad because they say there is not enough progress to move on in any decisive way, they are still far from on in any decisive way, they are still farfrom a deal. but ugly potentially because of those comments mrs may supposedly said about considering a longer transitioning. you might think with the complexities you underline, what

is wrong with spending another year working this out? or for plenty of mps at home and perhaps many people who voted to leave, the idea of sticking with the status quo for another 12 months on top of the year and a half that has already been suggested as the transition period is something that may welljust not be acceptable. i have already had communications with tory mps in westminster saying that is an idea that just will not fly. number westminster saying that is an idea thatjust will not fly. number 10 have repeatedly refused to rule out the fact that they are willing to consider it. considering it is one thing, getting it done is quite another. laura, many thanks. also in brussels, all europe editor tab. can we talk about the atmosphere. has theresa may been given a warm welcome mansion was given an salzburg a few weeks ago?m welcome mansion was given an salzburg a few weeks ago? it has been polite and courteous but far

from gushing optimism that this elusive brexit deal isjust from gushing optimism that this elusive brexit deal is just around the corner, quite the opposite. the eu asked theresa may to come to this summit with new ideas about how to get round the impasse currently in brexit negotiations, but eu leaders have said she came up with nothing new this evening. and don't forget until not very long ago, people were talking about this very summit as the brexit deal summit. clearly, that timeline is moving on. chief negotiator michel barnier on his way here this evening said, we need time and he stopped to think and he said, and he stopped to think and he said, a lot more time. the word in this corridor is we are looking that negotiations dragging gone into decemberand negotiations dragging gone into december and possibly beyond. that's it, eu leaders have been very clear this evening that the deal still can be done. a solution to the irish border issue still can be found, they think, but what they worry

about the shifting sands of uk domestic politics. 0ne eu leader tonight is described to the prime minister as tonight is described to the prime ministerasa tonight is described to the prime minister as a negotiator without a mandate, and that she said makes brexit very hard to negotiate. many thanks. the city of london now, simonjack. how do you assess the kind of feeling among business and finance leaders? well, everyone wants to know what the chances of a no deal? that is the chances of a no deal? that is the thing business beers. ice bow to the thing business beers. ice bow to the international trade secretary liam fox who famously once said he thought the odds of a no deal 60—40. isaid, thought the odds of a no deal 60—40. i said, what now? you said, i haven't changed my mind. business leaders here are clear they think the chancellor no deal has gone up. from over the last seven days. —— the chance of a no deal. the boss of the chance of a no deal. the boss of the wto is also here tonight to reassure business leaders, don't

worry, it is not the end of the world, you are a founder member of the wto and we will look out your trading interests. it is very clear here amongst the great and the good of the business community, that is not an option they want, they think the chances of that have gone not. 0n the extension of the transition period, they say whatever it takes to get a better solution, we are in favour of getting a no deal is not something anyone here wants to see. thanks once again from mansion house in the city of london. turkish investigators are examining the residence of the saudi arabian consul in istanbul, as more claims emerge about the suspected murder of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi. he hasn't been seen since he entered the consulate more than two weeks ago. turkish officials have said they believe mr khashoggi — who was critical of the saudi leadership — was killed by a hit squad while he was inside. 0ur correspondent mark lowen reports. at the home where diplomats entertain, police hunting the darkest of crimes.

the saudi consul general‘s residence in istanbul, scoured today by turkish and saudi teams, searching forjust what happened to jamal khashoggi. it's over two weeks since the journalist disappeared after entering the consulate. turkey alleges murder by the saudi government. the american secretary of state shuttled from riyadh to ankara today, promising turkey's president saudi arabia would investigate. but donald trump has taken a softer line, fuelling suspicions he's helping the saudis shift the blame. if you look at saudi arabia, they're an ally and they're a tremendous purchaser of not only military equipment, but other things. when i went there, they committed to purchase $450 billion worth of things and $110 billion worth of military. those are the biggest orders in the history of this country. probably the history of the world.

but i want to find out what happened, where is the fault? and we will probably know that by the end of the week. allowing the saudis to shield their leadership won't wash with mr khashoggi's friends and colleagues, who know the arab world well. translation: nobody could have committed this slaughter without the permission of the crown prince. those involved were part of the government and they followed an order. america's attempt to let the saudis off the hook is disgusting! trump is rubbing salt in the wound. last week, the bbc identified this man, maher mutreb, as one of the 15 saudis accused of being part of the hit squad. photographs of him working as a bodyguard and travelling frequently with the crown prince have now emerged. well, after police took away dna and soil samples from the saudi consulate, the search goes on inside the residence. media reports of what happened in these buildings — the dismembering of the body, sounds of screaming — are so gruesome that even if the us

manages to engineer a way out for the saudi leadership, turkey would find it much harder to accept and let this pass. evidence could unearth the grim truth of what happened here, but politics mightjust bury it again in a cover—up. mark lowen, bbc news, istanbul. a student has killed at least 19 people, and injured many more, in an attack on a college in the crimean city of kerch. many of the victims were teenagers. russian investigators say the killer was an 18—year—old student, who detonated a bomb and shot dozens of people, before taking his own life. official figures show the uk inflation rate fell more than expected in september, after hitting a six—month high in august. the office for national statistics said the fall to 2.4% — down from 2.7% — was largely driven by lower prices for food and non—alcoholic drinks. the result is expected to ease pressure on the bank of england to raise interest rates in the near future.

some 200,000 people on sickness benefits will receive backpayments averaging £5,000, after the government admitted miscalculating how much they were due. the error — involving people who receive employment and support allowance — will cost more than £1.5 billion. 0ur social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan, uncovered the story. he's at the department for work and pensions. what led to this and what is your assessment of how damaging it could be? the problem occurred when people we re be? the problem occurred when people were moved on to employment and support allowance and two old benefits. essentially officials here moved people over to speedily and miscalculated how much they would do. today we found out the full cost of that blunder. 108,000 people were underpaid and they are now due

compensation payments of an average of £5,000 each, but some might receive as much as £20,000. the total cost of the compensation package isjust total cost of the compensation package is just under £1 total cost of the compensation package isjust under £1 billion. but that isn't all, because these people have now been assessed at the right benefit level, officials have calculated they will have to pay an additional £750 million of additional £750 million of additional benefit payments in the coming years, making the total cost of the error £1.7 billion. ministers here insist everyone who lost out will be fully compensated, but it's fairto will be fully compensated, but it's fair to say, it's a shambles. thank you, michael buchanan, oursocial affairs correspondent. tens of thousands of passengers using one of the uk's busiest railway stations have suffered a day of major disruption and cancellations after severe damage to overhead power lines near london paddington. the fault, which has affected passengers travelling to and from south west england, south wales and heathrow airport, emerged after an electric train was tested on the line last night. 0ur correspondent tom burridge has more details. a wall of passengers inching

towards the few trains that ran. then, an early—morning squeeze from reading into london. it still felt like a rush—hour here mid—morning. a bit of a nightmare. i've missed my meeting. i'm still going! it's just been hell. it's just been hell, and i'm just thinking, why on earth don't we renationalise the trains. passengers perplexed, frustrated... seeking answers. rejigging journeys took time. cashain david is currently five minutes late for a job interview in cardiff. i've been standing here for just under an hour. with three different times, and then kept delay... oh, it's now come up as cancelled! after being delayed for the last half an hour. disruption began last night. getting home to cardiff

became an ordeal. tried to get out of reading last night at 8:30pm. ended up having to stay in reading in a hotel four miles outside. £134 later... so, yeah, i'm going home! the problems started when a train similar to these hitachi models was being tested. an investigation must now work out how the high—speed train collided with and wrecked half a kilometre overhead electric cabling. of overhead electric cabling. that line in and out of paddington is a massively important piece of railway for everyone on great western, and also heathrow express and transport for london, as well as freight trains. so, a huge, huge operation to get that resolved. for passengers tonight, some services are back up and running. but a warning from network rail, that there still might not be a full timetable in the morning. that's because that long stretch of

electric cabling to the west of paddington has not yet been fully fixed. network rail, the public company which owns and runs the track, says it managed to fix two of four of the tracks at that point. its team already at the scene tonight but we are told the work will not be fully done by the morning and therefore, even though tonight half the trains are cancelled on the board behind me, we are told things will have significantly improved by the morning but will not be completely back to normal. studio: many thanks, tom burridge with the latest from paddington station tonight. three men, who were sent to jail after an anti—fracking protest in lancashire last summer, have been freed by the court of appeal. the judge said their 16—month sentence was excessive. simon blevins, richard roberts and rich loizou became the first environmental protesters to be sent to prison in decades after they climbed on lorries at the fracking site in lancashire. our correspondent claire marshall was in court. cheering.

out after 21 days in preston prison. rich loizou, simon blevins and richard roberts. and according to the lord chief justice, they should never have been jailed. later on, in the pub, they spoke to the bbc. when we were sent down, the scariest thing was thinking, this is happening in the uk in the 21st—century? peaceful protesters are being sent to prison? it's scary to think that if this is happening to us, we're probably not going to be the last time because the issues haven't gone away. this is where it all started. watch the police officer. when she's not looking, simon blevins, a soil scientist, seizes the opportunity. the others were already on the other trucks, stopping seven of them altogether for three days. they were found guilty of causing a public nuisance and sentenced to 15 and 16 months in prison. celebrations outside court when the judges said this was wrong.

an immediate custodial sentence in the case of these appellants was manifestly excessive. in ourjudgment, the appropriate sentence, which should have been imposed on the 26th of september, was a community order with a significant requirement of unpaid work. this wasn't a case about fracking, and that was said in court. it was, in effect, a case about the right to protest. if you disagree with the government or a law, or a company, how far can you go? it wasjudge altham who'd originally sent the men to prison. his family has links to the offshore oil and gas industry, and in the past his sister has voiced her support for fracking. in court, the defence team raised the issue of the perception of his independence, while not saying he himself was biased. there is a real concern with this that in fact those connections should have been disclosed in this case and that there might be a possible appeal. meanwhile, fracking started in lancashire this week,

and the protests go on. claire marshall, bbc news, london. just eat is a company that allows people to order takeaway food from thousands of outlets across the uk. and it's become a huge global business, valued at more than £4 billion. tonight, just eat is facing questions over hygiene standards at some of the takeaways featured on its platform. an investigation by bbc news has found that some have been given the lowest possible rating from the food standards agency. just eat insists it takes food safety very seriously, and works with providers to improve standards. our correspondent angus crawford reports. they arrive without warning. i'm here to do your food hygiene inspection. environmental health officers. the rice — when did you take that out of the fridge? absolutely filthy. i would again suggest throwing that away. food for the table ends up in the bin. there are rat and mouse droppings too. and that's notjust a worry for people eating in. customers can also get a takeaway through the websitejust eat. the smell in the kitchen

was really unpleasant and in the backroom, the storage room, it was almost overpowering at times. as far as the local council is concerned, this gets a zero hygiene rating, but onjust eat, it gets four stars. that food, potentially, had it been served to a consumer, could have caused them harm. so, yeah, i mean, it's not great. would you eat in there? no. absolutely not. and it happens a lot. zero—rated takeaways, the food standards agency says are in urgent need of improvement, on just eat but with great customer reviews. our research found 20 out of the 31 zero—rated takeaways in birmingham are onjust eat. nine of the 13 takeaways with a zero rating in liverpool are listed there. and in manchester, bristol and london, half

of the takeaways with a zero rating are on the platform. places like this in east london, closed for three weeks in april when inspectors found a mouse infestation. the owners say it has been completely refurbished and is now pest—free. or this one in york, shut down injune because of cockroaches. it is back open and now under new management. they told us the kitchen has been thoroughly cleaned and inspected, the infestation has gone. and zeera in swindon, fined £5,000. the judge said the food here could have killed someone. all on just eat when the inspectors called. there's one there, the second one there. three, four... but what is the customer to make of it? consumer rights campaigner chris emmins believes the business has got to change. there is a duty of all businesses to safeguard their customers and it's no good saying you're

just an agent. the reality is thatjust eat is making huge amounts of money. they receive the money, they supply the goods. if that was a standard, traditional business — a supermarket or a travel agent — they would be hauled over the coals considerably for a failure for that sort of lack of due diligence. just eat, now a ftse 100 company worth billions, said it takes food safety extremely seriously but no one was available for interview. instead, the company told us... "we actively work to raise standards and now offer free accredited food hygiene training to any restaurant that signs up to our platform" and, in case of food safety issues," our restaurant compliance team will review, investigate and liaise with the relevant local authority." it's easy to fix and it's not there. campaigners wantjust eat to display the actual hygiene rating for each takeaway on the app. the company says it will trial that soon in northern ireland. you should be keeping it all in the fridge...

this pub in west london says it is trying hard to fix the problems highlighted by environmental health. but for customers ofjust eat, a simple question — how clean is the kitchen your takeaway comes from ? angus crawford, bbc news. in just under three weeks' time, american voters take part in mid—term elections for the house of representatives and the upper chamber — the senate. currently, the republicans control both houses, but if the democrats can take back one of them, they could limit president trump's actions in the second half of his term. polls suggest that the democrats have a good chance of taking control of the house of representatives, but the fight for the senate is more difficult to predict. they will need to win in key battlegrounds, including north dakota, from where our north america editorjon sopel reports. # well, people get ready # heidi's coming. heidi heitkamp is down to earth, easy—going,

and not in the least grand. and she's popular. even her opponents say nice things. but her already difficult task became herculean when she voted against brett kavanaugh getting on the supreme court. that decision has fired up her republican opponents. but she told me she has no regrets. people want somebody who votes with their conscience. somebody who actually sits down, listens to the story and does what they think is right. but her campaign in the last 24 hours has gone into meltdown. heidi heitkamp's campaign is apologising today. misidentified victim... heidi heitkamp is apologising... an open letter to her opponent accusing him of not taking sexual abuse seriously enough contained the names of 130 women, all victims. but astonishingly, without getting consent for the publication of their names beforehand. cue full—scale contrition. the only thing i can do is say, i am so sorry. you need a senator who doesn't just talk like they're from north dakota...

the republican candidate is kevin cramer. his campaign is accusing heidi heitkamp of re—victimising the victims. it's just terrible for the individuals who have been identified by the campaign without their approval. does it affect the campaign, does it affect the race? absolutely. it's just shy of 1500 miles from washington, dc to here in fargo, but the race here is being watched incredibly closely in the nation's capital. if the democrats have any chance of retaking the senate, they need to hold onto this state. but their chances of doing so have taken a massive blow with this colossal act of political ineptitude. we can't harvest soybeans with snow on the ground... her only hope might be donald trump's trade war with china. farming is a critical part of the north dakota economy, mainly soya bean and maize. but farmers like monte peterson have seen sales collapse as a result of chinese retaliation. but mr trump, i don't believe that

tariffs are the means by which to negotiate that trade. so, you voted for donald trump in 2016? yes, idid. would you vote for him again? well, i'm glad there's a couple of years yet to decide that. drive across north dakota and you can't help but be struck by its vastness and emptiness. just 11 people per square mile. but it still sends two senators to washington, just like the biggest states in the country. and democrat hopes today seem almost as bleak as the landscape. jon sopel, bbc news, fargo, north dakota. it's known as the peterloo massacre. it happened nearly 200 years ago, when tens of thousands of men, women and children gathered in manchester to demand political and parliamentary reform. they came in peace, but found themselves under attack from the army. 15 people were killed and hundreds more were injured. now the british director mike leigh has made a film?about one of the defining moments of that age.

he's been speaking to our arts editor will gompertz. applause. it's the 16th of august 1819, and people congregate from miles around in manchester's st peter's fields for a pro—democracy rally for the right to vote. it was meant to be a peaceful gathering, but the authorities... we must read the riot act... ..had other ideas. so, mike, here we are in the middle of manchester. the peterloo massacre happened around us. as a young boy, studying in that library, you knew nothing of it. no. i mean, the primary school i went to was a good school, and they could have got us down here on the bus and back in time for lunch, and walked us around this area and said, this happened here. now is the time to say, well, it did happen here, and it happened right here, and on that august day in 1819,
