and urged them to give her more leeway to get a brexit deal. she addressed them before a summit dinner, but differences still remain about how to avoid a hard border between northern ireland and the irish republic. political editor laura kuennsberg 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 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 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. brussels is far from convinced the uk's way of avoiding going back to the borders of the past can work. we wish for prime minister may made to come with some mandate, which we have not seen yet at all. a bit more time outside brexit to finalise things helping? i was of the view it would take two years or more to negotiate a new treaty. there is merit in discussing the idea of a longer transition, but that can't 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. tonight she can look her fellow leaders in the eye and appealed to them not to crash this crucial process for its 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 cannot get this room on side, what chance of a final deal? then as the room filled, guess who didn't 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. confident, she said, ofa from them all. confident, she said, of a good outcome still but then she left the room. almost immediately, one leader had this to say. translation: theresa may was more relaxed than at the sulzberger

summit, that one that went so badly wrong. but there was no new content, according to him. none of the new fa cts according to him. none of the new facts the eu had demanded. but can it still be done? in the beginning, remember in the beginning, it's impossible to achieve an agreement on the rights of eu citizens living in the uk, it's impossible to do it, it's impossible! we need to work, of course is not easy but it's possible to do it. 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 happen, prime minister? there's no easy retreat for theresa may here or here or back at home. laura kuenssberg, bbc news. 0ur political correspondent is jonathan blake. isa is a two—year transition period becomes nearly three, jonathan, how will that go down where you are —— if. depends on who you ask, but

those keen to get on with brexit as soon as possible, very badly. we've heard that the light in the reaction to the possibility that the prime minister is open to consider potentially possibly extending the transition period —— tonight. that's clear from the summit tonight that thatis clear from the summit tonight that that is the case. a lot of tory mps coming in very quickly to say that is not something they could entertain at all. not only does it leave the uk in their eyes tied to the european union, having to abide by all the rules and regulations that come with that without having a say on how they're made but it would only be to do that longer to get a trade deal in the long—term they're not happy with any weight. it's a nonsta rter not happy with any weight. it's a nonstarter with many tory mps —— anyway. 0thers nonstarter with many tory mps —— anyway. others are more relaxed. a source close to one cabinet minister tonight saying they were relaxed

about extending the transition, as long as that meant there would be a deadline for when the uk would leave the eu customs union. but it may be that theresa may has to agree to that, or has to consider it at least at this stage, to unlock these negotiations in order for the at this stage, to unlock these negotiations in orderfor the eu to come to the table and say, well, if you agree to that, maybe we'll loosen our stance on a backstop to avoid a hard border in northern ireland. but it is, as a lot of things are with the brexit negotiations, a very toxic issue and something which a lot of people in westminster, a lot of mps in westminster, a lot of mps in westminster, would be very unwilling to budge on. a toxic issue and one where the clock is ticking, as we co nsta ntly where the clock is ticking, as we constantly told, what happens next, what kind of timetable is in people's mines in westminster? not long ago everyone was talking about this week in october, this summit in brussels as the time when a deal

would be done —— minds. that went out of the window a long time ago frankly. there's no summit scheduled for november, but eu leaders have left open the possibility tonight that one could be called if it is deemed and of progress is made within the next couple of weeks. if it's not november, then it would be december, that gets ever so close to christmas and to give parliament via time to vote on any brexit deal reached by the government and the eu parliament to vote on it and the individual member states to agree, then we would get close to the wire indeed —— parliament time to vote. with every summit that comes and goes, time continues to run out. jonathan blake at westminster, thank you. 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 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 are 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 in 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 the 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. 0fficials 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. the problem occurred when people we re the problem occurred when people were moved onto employment ansa bought allowance, and two old benefits, and essentially officials in here moved people over too speedily and miscalculated how much they were due and today found out they were due and today found out the full cost of that blunder.

108,000 people were underpaid. they are now due compensation payments on average of £5,000 each. we know some will receive as much as £20,000. the total cost of that compensation package, just under £1 billion. but that's not all, because these people are now being assessed on the right benefit level, officials have calculated they'll have to pay an additional £700 million in extra benefit payments over the coming yea rs, benefit payments over the coming years, making the total cost of the era £1.7 billion. ministers in here insist that everybody 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. michael buchanan reporting. tens of thousands of passengers using one 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 affected passengers travelling to and from south—west england, south wales and heathrow airport and 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'mjust 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. 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. the headlines on bbc news: theresa may has addressed eu leaders in brussels, urging them to show courage, trust and leadership to reach a brexit deal. ina in a blow to the prime minister the group has abandoned the idea of calling a special summit on brexit next month due to lack of progress in the talks. and in other news severe disruption to rail journeys to and in other news severe disruption to railjourneys to and from paddington today and warnings of more in the morning after damage to overhead powerlines. 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 for decades, after they climbed on lorries at the fracking site in lancashire. 0ur correspondent claire marshall was in court. cheering.

0ut 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 ourjudgement, 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. the proposed sale of wembley stadium has been called off after the prospective buyer withdrew his bid. shahid khan owns premier league club fulham and had offered 600 million pounds for england's national football stadium. the football association said he pulled out because of a lack of support for the deal from within the game. just eat is a company that allows people to order takeaway food from thousands of outlets across the uk. 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. 0ur correspondent angus crawford reports. they arrive without warning.

here to do your food hygiene inspection. environmental health officers. the rice, when did you take that out of the fridge? that's filthy. i would 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 take away through the website, just eat. the smell in the kitchen was really unpleasant. and in the back room, 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, if served to the customer, could have caused serious harm. so, yeah, 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 were with great customer reviews. our research found 20 out of the 31 zero—rated takeaways in birmingham are on just 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 as a mouse infestation was found. 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's back open now under new management. they told us the kitchen 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 is one there, a second one there. three, four... but what's 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, but the reality isjust 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 lack of due diligence. just eat, now a ftse 100 company, worth billions, says it takes food safety extremely seriously. but no—one was available for interview. instead, the company told us... and in case of food safety issues...

it is easy to fix, and it's not there. campaigners wantjust eat to display the actual hygiene rating for each take away on the app. the company says it will trial that soon in northern ireland. you should be keeping all food 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 take away comes from?" angus crawford, bbc news. in just under three weeks' time, american voters take part in mid—term elections. currently the republicans control both the senate and the house of representatives, 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'tjust 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

and happened nearly 200 years ago. 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, there came a point where this was a bloodbath. gunshot. hundreds of protesters were injured, and at least 15 died, as government forces charged the peaceful gathering in what became known as the peterloo massacre. in view of the magistrates, the crowds coming in from all over the place, right here were the two carts, the hustings, hunt and all the speakers. that's here. the order will come crashing down. this, as you can see, was the edge of st peter's fields, so people were kettled up against this wall. some of them were pulled up

into the ground, which is raised up on the other side of this wall. but what good is a parliament if it does not represent its people? applause. only 2% of the population had the vote. what you see in the film, and indeed what happened, was a motivated working—class, hungry for education. for me, what's tragic is that here we are where in fact everybody has the vote, and they don't vote. everybody has education, and they are not hungry for education. the hungerfor knowledge isn't there. and it is tragic. one man, one vote? parliamentary representation? preposterous proposition! now it's time for the weather with darren bett. it looks like we will keep this

quiet autumn weather going through the week ahead dominated by a large area of high pressure. earlier on it was here to the south—west, but it is moving to the uk right now, building in between these two weak weather funds that are slowing down across our shores and we were sitting in between two weather fronts for most of the day on wednesday. so there is some hazy sunshine here and there. probably blue sky on thursday although against southern parts of england will see some cloud at times. it should be dry and bright. we will see some cloud coming in on the south—westerly breeze to the north—west scotland. in between lots of sunshine around. temperatures may be lower. it will be pleasant in the sunshine. 16 in london. 14 or 15 elsewhere. temperatures will drop away quickly under the clear skies. we will see some patchy fog
