good morning. welcome to bbc newsroom live. i'm rebecca jones. theresa may will insist that a brexit deal is 95% complete when she faces mps in the house of commons this afternoon. it follows a weekend of attacks from within her own party, reflecting widespread unease over the idea of a longer transition to try and solve the deadlock over the future of the irish border. but in an article in the sun newspaper this morning, mrs may admits that the last stages of the talks are going to be "the hardest of all". let's speak to our assistant political editor norman smith. it would appear another torrid week

ahead for theresa may. we have been talking about it in these demise for several months, what is your sense that this week will be anything different. mrs me is an an extremely vulnerable position. she had to ring round cabinet ministers over the weekend to keep them in the loop amid signs that there is no scope for her to give any more ground. that is real pressure on her position. whether it is now going to morph into an actual leadership challenge, my senses were off that. it is possible. you could stumble into a contest by accident if 48 mps did submit those letters to the chairman of the 1922 graham brady demanding a vote of confidence. i don't get the feeling that momentum has built up, that a groundswell of opinion with the mainstream tories that they have to get rid of theresa

may. i do think we reach that point yet. but she is under huge pressure which is like we will hear her later on today saying to her party, just hang on in there, we've got 95% of the brexit deal, don't throw it all up the brexit deal, don't throw it all up in the air now. just wait a bit longer lets see if we can crack these last couple of items around northern ireland. i think, actually come ina northern ireland. i think, actually come in a funny sort of way, she is being helped by some of the briefing against at the weekend which has been extraordinarily aggressive and violent by some tory brexiteers, calling amongst other things for her to bring a noose to a meeting of backbenchers, suggesting she is entering the killing zone. somebody saying the knife is being heated up. that has prompted quite a backlash and is as interesting this morning, the transport secretary chris

grayling condemning that sort of language. i've no idea who's been making comments of the kind we've heard over the weekend, but ijust simply say to those involved, it's not appropriate to use that kind of language in politics today. we've got a tone in politics across the sphere in all parties which i think is overheated and people should be using measured phrases and should talk in a respectful way. that condemnation has come from some of the more prominent brexiteers, steve baker, he disagreed with the use of that language. pauline latham a big brexiteer, this is what she had to say. i don't think that is appropriate. we have seen violence against members of parliament and we certainly shouldn't be doing it ourselves, making violence comments against the prime minister. that is very shocking and i wish people would be much more moderate. iagree with chris grayling on that, they should be moderate in the language they use. if they are not happy with

her, fine, but don't use that sort of language. some support for mrs me but the brutal truth about it is we are where we are, where we have been for the past months, stuck on the hook of northern ireland. at the moment there's no sign of the eu backing off and that is no particular sign of downing street backing. we are at the moment. so we will be talking again, norman. norman smith, thank you. and we'll bring you the prime minister's statement in the house of commons live here on bbc news. we've not got a precise time for that yet but it will be a some point from half past three this afternoon. and we want to know what you think about this story. you can tweet us using the hashtag #bbcnewsroomlive or text us at 61124. western countries have increased the pressure still further on saudi arabia over the murder, in its turkish consulate,

of jamal khashoggi. germany, britain and france have signed a joint letter demanding facts, and chancellor angela merkel says her country will no longer export arms to riyadh. saudi arabia says the king and crown prince have offered their condolences to the son ofjamal khashoggi, and the saudi foreign minister has called the killing a "huge and grave mistake". here's eliza philippidis. new footage showing hatice cengiz, seen on the left, spending the night waiting for her fiance, jamal khashoggi, to come out of the saudi consulate. he never did. these pictures have been released showing what was probably the very last moment they spent together. saudi arabia has been under diplomatic pressure to tell the truth about what happened in istanbul. now they say his murder was a huge and grave mistake. we are determined to uncover every

stone, we are determined to find out all of the facts, and we are determined to punish those who are responsible for this murder. many governments are currently unconvinced by the saudis‘ explanations as to what happened. germany say they will not export arms to saudi arabia, while the current uncertainty over the fate of mr khashoggi persists. translation: there is an urgent need to clarify what happened. we are far from having this cleared up, and those responsible held to account. in a joint statement, the uk, france and germany have condemned the murder, saying... the turkish president has vowed to reveal within days the naked truth over the death of the washington postjournalist. translation: we are seeking justice, and this incident will be entirely

revealed — entirely. why did 15 people come to istanbul? why were 18 people arrested? this must be revealed in detail. questions are being raised as to whether the west will really punish the saudis. they possess around 18% of the world's oil reserves, and earnings from military contracts are huge. eliza philippidis, bbc news. our security correspondent frank gardner is here. let's started angela merkel‘s statement that germany will halt sales to saudi arabia. how supplies to saudi arabia will be? i think they will brush it. they not vital supplier of arms, britain and america are. if protesters or

movements politically were able to stop those arms exports they would simply turn to other suppliers, the russians and the chinese. it has a lwa ys russians and the chinese. it has always been donald trump argument, if we don't supply, their rivals will. those comments were made before the jamal khashoggi incident. that is far more at stake now. it boils down to this, is business with saudi arabia so important, so vital thanit saudi arabia so important, so vital than it is worth ignoring the cold blooded murder of a journalist in a consummate? i will leave you to decide those people will say. arguably, it was the british government in a difficult position and today we've had the shadow foreign secretary calling for a ban of british arms sale to saudi arabia. yes, let's not forget that even before the jamal khashoggi murder, we can call it a murder now,

saudi arabia was leading the campaign in yemen to try to dislodge the rebels who took over that country by force, they are no saints, but the saudi arabia air campaign is committing the vast majority of civilian casualties in that country as well as malnutrition, starvation, disease, poverty. that has been spearheaded by mohammed bin salman. i went down well in 2015, i interviewed the general in charge, who is now the fall guy, he has been blamed for this rogue operation. he is incredibly close to the crown prince. it is inconceivable that this operation could have been carried out without the knowledge of people at the top. it doesn't happen in saudi arabia. nothing is signed off without permission from the top. then expecting to hear from the leader of the turks at the top. do

you have any sense what he might say? will he be able to cast more light on what happened to jamal khashoggi? the turkish leader is going to give a full account of this. i will be very surprised if that includes the alleged tape, the audio tape, either way it is a surveillance tape, if it exists. we've had eluded details lea ked exists. we've had eluded details leaked in the turkish media about what is on this alleging it took seven minutes for him to die, he was caught up while he was still alive. awful details. no one independently has heard this tape. the americans are denying they have heard that, some turkish sources say they did play it to the us secretary of state. what needs to happen is for an independent investigatory body, whether it is the un, the hague, whatever, needs to hear this and be given full access to this and

announced to the world what their conclusions are. at the moment this is very partisan. there is a large body of people in turkey who can stand saudi arabia. turkey is very much dominated by the muslim brotherhood which saudi arabia sees as an existential threat. the saudis have been doing a pretty ham—fisted job of covering up this appalling crime. they have lied and put out indignant denials and have actually come up with a fraction of the truth when pushed hard by the international community. tomorrow is going to be key to see what comes out of this. i have a feeling it won't be the full story. we've got to leave it there for now, many thanks. the transport secretary, chris grayling, says the police should become involved after an elderly black woman was racially abused on a ryanair flight from barcelona to stansted. the budget airline has been criticised for failing to remove the passenger from a flight, after the abuse of the woman. here's an edited version of what happened.

i'll tell you that if you don't go to another seat i will push you. sta rt, to another seat i will push you. start, there is no need for that. just stop. while the incident was reported to police, the airline has faced calls for a boycott, after footage of the incident was uploaded to social media and viewed almost two million times. the video was filmed by a fellow passenger, david lawrence. he explained what happened shortly after he boarded the aircraft. i heard a loud shout behind me, "get out of my way, you are in my way". i turned around, as you would. i saw this man standing over this woman basically shouting abuse at her, saying that she is in his way. i then looked around to see if there was going to be any response from anyone. her daughter, who was sitting a bit further behind, came down to defend her mother.

as you can see in the video, she is saying, "she is my mother, don't talk to her like that". he then started a shouting match with her. i then decided to grab my phone because i need to capture this. by that time he had sat down and a torrent of abuse came from him in regards to her colour, her race, all of these things. no one responded, there was no cabin crew by that time. ally murphy is a former cabin crew service manager and says ryanair staff should have taken action to remove the man. what i presume the cabin crew was trying to do was to keep calm and in conflict management, that is one things we are trained is you keep calm so the situation doesn't escalate. but it is clear this man should have been removed immediately from the flight. he was aggressive, he was committing a crime, he was racially abusive, he should have immediately been taken to the front of the aircraft and removed into the hands of the police. he committed a crime

and you cannot let somebody stay on a flight who is aggressive, abusive to other passengers. the budget airline tweeted saying they are aware of the incident and that they have reported it to essex police. they say that as this is now a police matter they can not comment further. letter dated with the headlines on bbc news. theresa may will tell mps this afternoon that the terms of the agreement under which the uk will leave the eu are 95 per cent complete. the king and crown prince of saudi arabia have offered condolences to the son of the murdered journalist — jamal khashoggi — after their foreign minister admits the transport secretary, chris grayling, says the police should be involved after an elderly black woman was racially abused on a ryanair flight

from barcelona to stansted. lewis hamilton will wait until next weekend for a chance to win his fifth driver ‘s championship. he could only finish third yesterday. everton‘s scored twice in the last three minutes to beat crystal palace in the premier league. they add up to eighth, palace at 15. and kyle edmonds when his first title yesterday. the british number one coming toa yesterday. the british number one coming to a final set tie—break to beat gael monfils. the group representing hospitals, ambulance services and other nhs trusts in england is predicting that the strain on health services this winter will be worse than last year. nhs providers say the provision of cancer care and routine operations is already under severe pressure, that's before hospitals respond to the seasonal demand for emergency care. and added on top of that are work

force shortages intensifying other problems for the nhs. the deputy ceo of nhs providers — saffron cordery spoke this morning to the bbc radio 4 today programme and told them why they are predicting such a tough winter for the nhs. we know the warning signs are out there. a&e performances have dropped, demand is going up across services, that includes routine services, that includes routine services and cancer care. the rising workforce shortages. yes, we think it is going to be a challenge winter ahead. and yet the nhs in england are saying, there is extra money gone into a a&e, extra many gone in short—term into social care and that is better national level winter planning. that is true. all that has happened and that is immensely

welcome but what you've got a look at isa welcome but what you've got a look at is a number of factors. let's be clear about the scale of the challenge. when many goes into the syste m challenge. when many goes into the system then late it's very difficult to deploy it effectively. we've had some welcome capital funding, £140 million, to make changes in a&e departments but that came in septemberand has to departments but that came in september and has to be used by december. there are a number of issues about timing funding. it is very welcome. the australian prime minister scott morrison has delivered a national apology to victims of institutional child sexual abuse. speaking in parliament in canberra, mr morrison said australia as a nation had failed to listen, to believe and to provide justice. the national apology was one recommendation of a royal commission that investigated decades of institutional child abuse in australia. hywel griffith reports. for kirra, today is about trust. abused as a teenager in care, she twice fell pregnant. the system failed her.

now the authorities want to say sorry. she's come to canberra to listen. a lot of abuse survivors don't trust easily and we're going to need to see some footwork and action as well as words. but sorry‘s a good start. as he delivered the apology, the australian prime minister said he did not expect forgiveness from victims. he acknowledged that, for years, so much abuse had been covered up. not just as a father but as a prime minister, i am angry too at the calculating destruction of lives and the abuse of trust, including those who have abused the shield of faith and religion to hide their crimes. 0utside, kirra tried to decide whether the apology, with all its emotion, would really make a difference. it's pretty hard to believe a politician, but i think, if they change half of what they promised

to today, the world's going to be a better place. australia has spent much of the last decade confronting the spectre of abuse in churches, schools, homes and sports clubs. a five—year inquiry recommended the national apology and compensation for around 60,000 victims. some abuse survivors, like paul, say far more is needed. he says real change to protect children will only come with tougher laws to jail those who cover up abuse. in all australia, there's only ever been one person convicted of covering up child sex abuse. and i ask you, i ask everybody, is that really good enough? while today's words do carry real weight, the test for many survivors is if they are followed by action. many here still feel a deep sense of frustration and anger, wounds that may never heal.

hywel griffith, bbc news, canberra. let's look at some other news in brief now. victims of the contaminated blood scandal have written to the health secretary asking for an increase in support payments. the public inquiry into the scandal, which is expected to take at least two—and—a—half years, heard the number infected could go "far beyond 25,000". tainted blood, wants payments to victims in england, wales and northern ireland to match those being paid in scotland. one of the world's biggest tobacco firms, philip morris, has been accused of "staggering hypocrisy" over its new ad campaign that urges smokers to quit. the marlboro maker said the move was "an important next step" in its aim to "ultimately stop selling cigarettes". but cancer research said the firm was simply trying to promote its smoking alternatives, such as heated tobacco. plastic straws, stirrers and cotton buds could be

banned in a year's time. environment secretary michael gove has launched a consultation on the government's plan to ban the items, which he said can devastate the world's oceans and wildlife. the ban could be put in place at some stage between october next year and october 2020. the norwegian resistance hero who led a daring mission that halted nazi germany's nuclear weapons ambitions in the second world war, has died at the age of 99. in 1943 joachim ronneberg commanded a six—man team that destroyed key parts of a heavy water plant in occupied southern norway. the raid was later turned into a holywood film, starring kirk douglas, the heroes of telemark. britain's biggest car makerjaguar land rover has stopped production at its biggest plant for two weeks from today. the company has blamed falling demand,

especially in china, and is hoping that the shutdown at the solihull factory will clear a backlog of cars that haven't been sold. the firm insists that no jobs will be lost. 30 people have been injured after a floor collapsed during a party at a block of flats in the city of clemson in south carolina. this video captured by one of the partygoers shows how people tried to climb back out of a large hole after the collapse. it's believed that the party had been organised by students at the local university and that the floor collapsed whilst people were dancing. police say that it's not clear yet how serious some of the injuries are. a rare type of albatross is at risk of extinction as it comes under attack from super—sized mice. the colony of tristan albatross on gough island in the south atlantic is threatened by mice that have learnt to eat their eggs and young chicks.

video cameras set up showed up to nine mice eating the chicks alive, which has helped them to grow 50% larger than a domestic mouse. the mice were introduced by sailors in the nineteenth century, and the rspb is planning an operation to eradicate them by 2020. let's speak to dr alex bond about this, he's senior curator in charge of birds at the natural history museum, and formerly of the rspb, where he wrote a report about this issue. we are grateful for you joining us. this sounds gruesome. yes, it is unlike anything else i've seen in my 15 years of conservation, to see an albatross chick which is ten kilos be set upon by eight or nine mice at once. they can die within four days. these mice have taught themselves to do this? yes, mice are not native to the island. when you have something

like mice arrive they expand to fill the niche. these guys developed a taste of sea birds with devastating consequences. and they do it in groups? yes, we have seen up to eight or nine on a single albatross. albatross are just one of the 23 reading sea birds there. this affects all of them. the mice are eating other species as well? anything from little tiny storm pectorals, up to the ten kilograms tristan albatross. that is about 2 million checks on the island they get eaten by mice in a year. how long has this been going on for? mice were introduced in the 19th century, we only got a handle on the problem in the last 25 years when we started sending scientific teams there in the winter. that is no alternative food around like

baddies. how can this problem be dealt with? the rspb is planning an eradication of mice from the island. this in entail hiring a ship and helicopters that will fly over the island in the summer, sorry, winter of 2020 to spread something over the island. 0h adjusted to decode what this kind of bait is, you are going to poison them? that is right, it is a pallette, they eat one and the mice will die within 20 to four hours. how'd you know that only mice who eat these pallets ? know that only mice who eat these pallets? it will be done in the winter when most birds and not on the island. the island has two

indigenous birds. the important thing to remember is that the cases like this are playing the long game. 1.7 million checks a year i killed by mice so even though they may be a short—term decline the the will bounce back and stop how will these rare birds recover if everything goes according to plan? the first breeding season after the mice are removed will be a bumper crop. depending on the species it will ta ke depending on the species it will take several years for them to be reflected in the population. take several years for them to be reflected in the populationlj take several years for them to be reflected in the population. i hope you'll come back to tell as how it is going. really good talk to you. the duke and duchess of sussex are visiting fraser island in queensland today. the trip is expected to be more relaxed than other engagements, our royal correspondentjonny dymond is there. harry has been in paradise today, quite literally. fraser island is one name for this place. the other name is gari which translates as

paradise. he came here to open something called the queen's commonwealth canopy. it's a conservation project that stretches across dozens of countries in the commonwealth, and he made his way deep into the rainforest, across bumpy and rutted roads, where he had a welcome to country ceremony and unveiled a plaque. but he made thatjourney alone because meghan, his wife, skipped on that section of the tour, we think because of the nature of the roads and because of her pregnancy. he went on to another couple of projects and then he came back here to a place called mckenzie's jetty where there was a surprise waiting for the people who stayed here. because here he wasjoined by the duchess of sussex. they walked down the pier, they met a large group of well—wishers. as ever, a hugely enthusiastic welcome, but what is notable is that they make the effort to come to the smaller places in australia as well as the big cities. they talked, they chatted, they shook hands, they got presents — they always do —

and now they're going to end this stage of their tour of australia and make their way to fiji. the radio 2 drivetime presenter simon mayo has announced he will be leaving the station after eight years at the helm of the drivetime show. injune this yearjo wiley became his co—host, she will now move to the 7—9pm slot. lauren moss is here to tell us more. first of all, how much of supplies is this that he is leaving? somewhat. this is the second name presented to and as they are leaving radio two in as many months. last month it was announced that chris evans will be leaving the breakfast show that he has replaced by zoe ball. simon mayo has announced he is leaving radio two after presenting the drivetime programme for eight yea rs. the drivetime programme for eight years. he is a huge name in bbc he joined in the early 1980s. he presented the radio one breakfast

with a focus on you and live music. his tweet is interesting. has he given any reason for going? do we think it has anything to do with the joining together of him and jo wiley? because it has had a lot of criticism. it is said to say that there has been criticism. people complaining that the chemistry isn't right. radio two released a statement this year asking fans to give the new show a chance to settle. simon has used his announcement today to defend jo wiley and their working relationship. he's been on twitter saying he has enjoyed working together. he's called her an exceptional talent. he said when the show was reconfigured jo wiley was his first and only choice. he goes onto say that the abuse jo wiley has released online about their programme has appalling. he has called her a warm—hearted and loyal

friend. in return, jo wiley says she's incredibly sad simon is leaving but she is looking forward to hosting what she has called a new dream show with music at the very heart of it. maybe quite a telling statement there. it is unknown at this stage will take over their drivetime slot on radio two. that'll be announced in the coming weeks. really good to talk to you. thank you for that. the former cricket star freddie flintoff and entertainment presenter paddy mcguinness are joining the motoring show, top gear. they'll begin filming their first series of the show early next year, alongside motoring journalist and racing driver, chris harris. it follows friends star matt le blanc's announcement that he was leaving the programme. his final series will be transmitted in early 2019. now it's time for a look at the weather. another sunny start for many.

chillier than what we've had over the weekend and breezy, too. no problems with mist and fog. lots of sunshine this afternoon but it'll be cloudier further sunshine this afternoon but it'll be cloudierfurther north, particularly for scotland and northern ireland where there will be some outbreaks of rain to the far north. when speaking up, gale is developing. a busy day further south. lots of sunshine. —— winds picking up. tonight will be mainly dry, breezy, clear skies for most. more cloud, stronger winds across the north, outbreaks of rain, some heavy across northern scotland. because of the cloud and breeze, two bridges holding into double figures. similar story tomorrow, but we will have more cloud around central and northern areas, outbreaks of rain, pushing to northern england. it'll be windy, as well. gales across the northern half of the country. we could make 17 degrees in aberdeen given the sunshine. but highs are

generally around 16 for the south and east of the country. hello this is bbc newsroom live. here are the headlines: the prime minster will seek to reassure mps frustrated with brexit negotiations this afternoon — she is expected to say that 95% of the withdrawal agreement is complete — despite the deadlock over the irish border issue. saudi arabia admits thatjournalist jamal khashoggi was murdered — the king and crown prince have offered their condolences to his son. saudi authorities say he was killed by "rogue operators". the budget airline ryanair has come under fire for failing to eject a passenger who was filmed racially abusing a black woman sitting nearby. and the nhs could be in for another crisis — nhs providers says pressures on the health service are likely to be worse this winter than last. sport now, here's katherine downes.

and lewis hamilton is going to have to wait just and lewis hamilton is going to have to waitjust a little bit longer. at least a week. he said his mercedes team were not at his best because he failed to clinch the fifth formula 1 title, despite starting at pole position. despite starting from pole he was overtaken by ferrari's kimi raikkonen who went on to claim his first win for five and a half years. title rival sebastian vettel recovered from this spin on the first lap to finish fourth and with hamilton ending up third it means the title race moves on to mexico. congratulations to kimi, he did a greatjob no mistakes. he had a great start and managed it all the way. i think on our behalf, also verstappen did a greatjob, as well, i mean, he was, he was on a slightly

better tyre than us at the end. naturally a bit of a struggle. i naturally thought we would be able to do better. well despite yesterday's disappointment, hamilton is still odds—on to capture a fifth drivers title. that would leave him just two behind record holder michael schumacher, but former formula one great sirjackie stewart thinks hamilton will quit the sport before reaching schumacher‘s mark. . he will burn out, because as the success brings, now he is going into clothing, for example, other things come he loves music, for example, and sooner or later you get tired of it. idid, and sooner or later you get tired of it. i did, i got tired ata and sooner or later you get tired of it. i did, i got tired at a very young age, 304i it. i did, i got tired at a very young age, 3041 retired. —— other things, he loves music. like in most sports committee burn—out, and he will burn out. —— 34 i retired. jordan pickford showed why he's england's number one

budget airline ryanair — which has come under fire on social media for failing to eject a passenger who was filmed racially abusing a black woman sitting nearby. here's a bit of what happened. just stop. there is no need for that at all. just stop. ryanair say they reported the incident to the police, but the airline has faced calls for a boycott, after footage of the incident was uploaded to social media and viewed almost two million times. the transport secretary chris grayling says that it's right that the police should be involved and told the bbc that the incident was extraordinary. what we saw was totally u na cce pta ble. the fact is that abuse of that kind, race abuse of that kind, is a crime. and if a crime is committed it should be dealt with appropriately, and so, therefore, i would hope that, notwithstanding what place on that day, that the police would want to take action on such an extraordinarily unacceptable case. joining me now from his constituency in hull is labour's shadow transport

secretary and former shadow attorney general — the mp karl turner. we are grateful for you joining us on bbc news. i want to start by asking you what is your reaction to the footage? it is absolutely outrageous. ryanair the footage? it is absolutely outrageous. rya nair have the footage? it is absolutely outrageous. ryanair have failed spectacularly in this situation. not just because this abusive passenger was committing criminal offences, which were racially aggravated, he should have been projected absolutely immediately, and handed over to the spanish authorities. —— bat. i'm sure essex police are keen on investigating, but there is age restriction argument. section 92 of the civil aviation act says that if the civil aviation act says that if the airline isn't registered in the

uk, uk law only applies if the aircraft is travelling to a uk destination. it needs to be in flight. destination. it needs to be in flight. the definition of in—flight is that the aircraft engines are on, and the plane is moving. it was stood on tarmac in barcelona. chris grayling is right, he wants the essex police to investigate and prosecute, so do i. but u nfortu nately, prosecute, so do i. but unfortunately, because of ryanair‘s spectacular error in this instance, i think it is going to get away with this scot—free. it outrageous. i think it is going to get away with this scot—free. it outrageouslj this scot—free. it outrageous.” wa nt to this scot—free. it outrageous.” want to be clear about the law. you are saying this man cannot be prosecuted, not because the incident happened on spanish soil, but because the airline is registered in dublin, is that right? exacted. if it had been another low—cost budget airline which is registered in the uk then the law would have applied. but unfortunately, under section 92,

subsection four requires that it has totally in flight for the uk authorities to step in. the aircraft wasn't in flight. so this guy should have been taken off the aircraft immediately and handed to the police in spain. regrettably, ryanair staff, cabin crew, are under a lot of pressure to get aircraft into the sky, and i suspect that's the reason they failed to do theirjob properly. but i think this person is going to get away with this scot—free as a result of ryanair‘s failure. ryanair says they operate strict guidelines for disruptive passengers and that they won't tolerate unruly behaviour like this. given what you've said, what do you think should happen to ryanair now? ryanair have tolerated criminal behaviour. this is not unruly behaviour, this is crying, this was a section five public order, racially aggravated, committed, on an aircraft, which is a public place. —— this is a crime. this

woman was assaulted by this individual. he was putting his finger towards her. he was making immediate threats of violence to her. he committed a section 39 common assault. the problem is, he won't be prosecuted, in my view, for those offences because the plane was not in flight heading to the uk. and u nfortu nately not in flight heading to the uk. and unfortunately the airline isn't registered in the uk. it is registered in the uk. it is registered in the uk. it is registered in dublin, ireland. they have made a catastrophic mistake. i suspect in a few days from now essex police are going to say u nfortu nately we have police are going to say unfortunately we have spoken to this individual and the law prevents us from prosecuting. it can —— he can go back to spain and be prosecuted, that's true, but i doubt this guy will turn up in barcelona to a police station saying, thank you very much, i've arrived to hand myself in. he'll never go anywhere nearspain, myself in. he'll never go anywhere near spain, probably.”

myself in. he'll never go anywhere near spain, probably. i should say that essex police say they are working closely with ryanair and the spanish authorities on the investigation and rya nair spanish authorities on the investigation and ryanair has said that they have reported the matter to the police. we must leave it there. we are grateful for your thoughts. thank you. let's cross to brussels where a delegation including conservative mps and peers have been meeting the eu's chief brexit negotiator michel barnier. we'll get more from our brussels reporter adam fleming. do we know what they've said? michel barnier says his story is a lwa ys michel barnier says his story is always open to people from the uk who want to talk to him about brexit, whether it is not a garage, nicola sturgeon, nick clegg, but todayit nicola sturgeon, nick clegg, but today it is this group of brexiteers, including 0wen paterson, iain duncan smith, and lord trimble, who was leader of the ulster unionist party and is now a conservative peer. they say they

brought with them their research paper they published a few weeks ago, which is their solution to the irish border conundrum. they argue you could use technology to do all of the checks that you need, so that nobody would notice there was a border between the uk and northern ireland, or northern ireland and ireland. the commission is of the same view, sort of, that technology could be used to some extent to sort this problem, but with a different legal basis. the eu is saying if there is in a future trade agreement between the uk and the eu, there is no other option to avoid hard border, they will use their backstop which is to say northern ireland is staying in the customs union, and applying lots of rules and regulations for the single market, as well. the people visiting michel barnier this morning are opposed to that totally. this is a chance for michel barnier to listen to what is going on in the uk. this isn't a negotiating session. i'm sure women

-- i'm negotiating session. i'm sure women —— i'm sure when we hearfrom mps, we will hear that there were no negotiations, it was just these mps telling michel barnier about the situation in the uk. thanks very much. the international tobacco manufacturer, philip morris limited, which makes brands such as marlboro, has launched a campaign to encourage smokers to give up cigarettes. it's part of the firm's commitment to focus on alternatives like e—cigarettes. here's their spokesperson — peter nixon. the main strategy is really trying to get people to switch from harmful products, which is cigarettes, to alternatives. that's really what we are about. we said two years ago, we want to stop selling cigarettes completely. we want to switch all of our business to alternative products, which are less harmful. i think the uk, where we are now, is we've got 7.5 million smokers, and the predictions are that is going to continue. we're going to have smokers for another 30, 40 years. the key question is, what do we do about that? we could do nothing.

we could just continue to keep selling cigarettes. but we've made a decision, we want to switch people towards alternatives. and this hold my light campaign is about trying to get people to either quit or switch. there's been a backlash against the campaign — with some calling it "staggering hypocrisy". i'm joined now by hazel cheeseman from the public health charity action on smoking and health — also known as ash. thanks very much for coming in to talk to us. do you welcome this campaign which will encourage people to give up smoking? staggering hypocrisy is pretty much the right term for this. this is pr for philip morris to sell products they struggle to advertise in other ways. because we have strict rules in the uk. we have to look at philip morris's global tobacco company, £78 billion in revenue last year... you know? this is a global tobacco company with the majority of their business concerning combo stubble cigarettes. 7 million people will die from tobacco related illnesses globally this year. 80% of smokers

are on low and middle income countries. those are countries where philip morris are continuing to promote their combustible products, and have lobbied against tobacco control regulations, and taking countries to court. if they encourage even some of those people you are talking about, some of those smokers, and at the very least switch to less harmful alternatives, you must welcome that, mustn't you? a one off pr campaign does not make up a one off pr campaign does not make upfor a one off pr campaign does not make up for the decades and decades of promotion that philip morris, makers of marlborough, one of the most recognisable brands in the world, you know, responsible for the uptake of smoking among children around the world, you know, you cannot weigh up this £2 million campaign where they wa nt to this £2 million campaign where they want to promote their rubber products to smokers in the uk against those decades of harm. what would you like them to do?” against those decades of harm. what would you like them to do? i don't think philip morris are part of the solution, not while they continue to sell billions of cigarettes around the world, and continue to promote

their products. if they want to see a smoke—free future, which is what they say, they really ought to be backing and supporting hard tobacco control measures, like we have in the uk, in all of the countries around the world where they are selling their products. thank you so much for coming in to talk to us. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news... theresa may will tell mps this afternoon that the terms of the agreement under which the uk will leave the eu are 95 per cent complete. the king and crown prince of saudi arabia have offered condolences to the son of the murdered journalist — jamal khashoggi — after their foreign minister admits he was murdered. the transport secretary, chris grayling, says the police should be involved after an elderly black woman was racially abused on a ryanair flight from barcelona to stansted. these are the top business stories.

one of the world's biggest tobacco firms, philip morris, has been accused of "staggering hypocrisy" over its new ad campaign that urges smokers to quit. the marlboro maker said the move was "an important next step" in its aim to "ultimately stop selling cigarettes". but cancer research uk said the firm was just trying to promote its smoking alternatives. profits at airline ryanair fell by 7% to just over £1 billion over the last six months blamed on pilot strikes and higher fuel costs. it comes as the airline faces heavy criticism over its failure to remove a passenger from a flight this weekend, over alleged racial abuse. minicab firm addison lee says it will launch a fleet of self driving taxis in london by 2021. the move will pit it against rival ride—hailing app uber, which is also planning to roll out driverless cars on its network, once regulatory permission has been granted. good morning. we will start with

news about cartels. when we talk about cartels, you might think of big oil producers, colluding to keep prices high. but today, the financial regulator is launching a campaign to raise awareness that all sorts of firms could be caught up in potentially illegal activities. the competition and markets authority's says it wants to educate firms about which practices are illegal and will also urge people to come forward if they suspect a business has fixed prices or rigged contracts. in a recent survey it says just 57% knew it was illegal to fix prices and nearly half thought it was legal to discuss prices with competing bidders when quoting for new work. joining us now is christiane kent, a director at the competition and markets authority. good morning. 0utline this for us about the thinking behind this. many people were not —— will not understand the idea of cartels, about fixing prices, but it could affect all of us, can't it?

they are illegal because they ripped off businesses, taxpayers, and cheating businesses —— and cheat businesses trying to act fairly. it reduces prices up to 30%. you and i end up paying for that. give us an example of where we might come across a cartel as a consumer? we've investigated cartels in all sorts of different sectors, including online sellers agreeing to set prices, estate agents agreeing to fix minimum surcharges, also fuel providers agreeing to rig contracts for supermarkets. scientist in 1's there we might not notice. we would see the price displayed and we would think that is the price you got to pat’- think that is the price you got to pay- "— think that is the price you got to pay. —— interesting ones there we might not notice. watch as consumers do? we are very much targeting businesses. businesses who might

protect themselves by finding out about the law and then reporting to us about the law and then reporting to us if they are party to cartels. secondly, to employees and other people who may be doing business involved with cartels, to tip us off about evidence of cartel activity. and there is a reward for that. would that money not be better spent educating firms about what is and isn't legal? your study suggest lots of people just don't know they shouldn't do this. we want to do both. educate businesses. we are launching a campaign today for that. we also want to encourage people to tip us off because these cartels are secret. by definition. they are difficult to detect. we are trying to encourage people to come forward and let us know of cartel activity. good to talk to you. a quick look at

the board for you. not a huge amount is moving in the markets. a few bits of corporate news investors are keeping an eye on, but as far as economic data is concerned not much is moving. they are trying to work out what is happening in the us and china when it comes to that big trade spat. another one going on, china has accused the us of criticising it over the impact it has on developing economies. and clearly some clarity out of brussels will help markets get some direction back. but that is it, the ftse macro —— the back. but that is it, the ftse macro -- the ftse back. but that is it, the ftse macro —— the ftse upjust back. but that is it, the ftse macro —— the ftse up just over half a percent. thanks very much. in a moment the weather, but first let's look at some of the most striking images of the day. a lioness has killed the father of her three cubs in their pen at a zoo in the us. 10—year—old nyack was attacked by the lioness, and staff

at india—napolis zoo couldn't separate the pair. he died of suffocation. the lions had lived in the same enclosure for eight years, and had three cubs together in 2015. basejumping base jumping from buildings, bridges, and cliffs is increasingly popular. but not always legal. however, once a year in the us state of west virginia they let hundreds of west virginia they let hundreds of people, like these, be catapulted off one of the highest road bridges in north america. this weekend it was the biggest officially approved gathering of base jumpers was the biggest officially approved gathering of basejumpers in was the biggest officially approved gathering of base jumpers in the whole world. and you thought you had an exciting weekend! now it's time for a look at the weather. i was iwas in

i was in work over the weekend. things not looking too bad today. a lot of sunshine around. and we have a big area of high pressure to start off the week. a cool start in southern areas. no problems with mist and fog, though. mostly dry today. this weather front will come into play across the far north of scotla nd into play across the far north of scotland and northern isles bringing pretty wet afternoon. a squeeze on the isobars, meaning it will be very windy in scotland, gales developing over hills and coasts. a breezy day further south. best of the sunshine further south. best of the sunshine further south. best of the sunshine further south. lighter winds in the south than in the north. particularly stronger over the north—west corner. temperature wise, a different feel to things, at the weekend to bridges reaching the high teens, and 20 celsius in some places, the high this afternoon is 13 to 15, and you will notice that in that wind. —— temperatures

reaching the high teens. a little less cold across the north, double—figure values, whereas further south under clear skies it'll be another chilly one. for tuesday, high pressure still with us. tuesday, high pressure still with us. lots of places will be dry. tightly packed isoba rs us. lots of places will be dry. tightly packed isobars over the north half of the country, so more cloud, stronger winds, and outbreaks of rain. there will be sunshine around, giving shelter across eastern scotland with that wind direction coming in from the north—west. but it could be quite warm in aberdeen, or milder, 17, 18 celsius. the best of the sunshine will be further south and east. highs of 60 degrees. quite what across the north—west. wednesday, not that bad, we lose the weather front. —— highs of16 not that bad, we lose the weather front. —— highs of 16 celsius. some cloud across northern and western areas. the odd shower over the western hills, but most places will be dry. the best of the sunshine in southern and eastern areas, and it could be a touch warmer, as well, 17

degrees the high further south. make the most of it, because here comes the most of it, because here comes the first significant cold spell of the first significant cold spell of the season. we open the floodgates to the arctic on a very strong wind, it'll feel very bitter as we go into the weekend. much colder than we have been used to, and wintry showers towards northern hills. 0n the plus side, some sunshine around, but nights will be pretty cold with rather sharp widespread frost. stay tuned. you're watching bbc newsroom live — these are today's main stories: theresa may will tell mps a brexit deal is 95% done amid increasing frustration in her party over her approach to negotiations. the king and crown prince of saudi arabia offer condolences to the son of the murdered journalist, jamal khashoggi, after their foreign minister admits he was murdered. the transport secretary says police should be involved after an elderly black woman was racially abused on a ryanair flight. a stroll in the sun in queensland —

the duke and duchess of sussex visit fraser island on their tour of australia. simon mayo and jo whiley‘s radio 2 drivetime show comes to an end afterjust a few months on air as he leaves radio 2. and new presenters for top gear. former cricket star freddie flintoff and entertainment presenter paddy mcguinness join the programme. good morning. welcome to bbc newsroom live. theresa may will insist that a brexit deal is 95% complete when she faces mps in the house of commons this afternoon. it follows a weekend of personal attacks from within her own party, prompting a downing street spokesman this morning to say "personal vitriol has no place in our politics".

in an article in the sun newspaper this morning, mrs may admits that the final stages of the talks are going to be "the hardest of all". let's speak to our assistant political editor norman smith. mrs may facing a torrid time on all fronts this week. i'm always giving up saying she is facing a crunch time on a torrid time because every week seems to be pretty difficult for her. the signs are this week will be no exception. which is why number 10 have been briefing us in advance about the sort of things we can expect to hear from mrs may in the commons this afternoon. hang on in there, we are almost there, we've got 95% of the deal, don't give up now. the trouble is, that last 5% around the issue of

northern ireland is proving an absolutely defining issue for the eu, for brexiteers and four mrs may. there is no sign of any solution which is why there has been a lot of talk over the weekend of possibly letters going in to the chairman of the 1922 committee, demanding some sort of leadership contest. it is possible we could tip over the 48 letters needed to trigger a contest. i don't think there is a huge momentum in the tory party of mainstream conservatives saying, we've got to get rid of mrs may. we might slip into a leadership contest by accident but it doesn't feel like the bulk of the party have made up their minds. they are going to have to get rid of mrs may. some of the language we have been hearing from anonymous brexiteers, very, very aggressive, violent language talking about taking a knife and sticking it

into mrs may. some are suggesting if she turns up to address the 1922 committee she should bring her own mousse with her. another saying she is entering the killing zone. that has prompted a backlash and people are rallying around behind the prime minister. hearing from mrs may's spokesman how that derogatory dehumanising language is regarded as unacceptable. we heard from chris grayling earlier. lahmert brexiteers are unhappy with that sort of language. have a listen to one of them. i don't think that is appropriate. we have seen violence against members of parliament and we certainly shouldn't be doing it ourselves, making violent comments against the prime minister. that is very shocking and i wish people would be much more moderate. i agree with chris grayling on that, they should be moderate in the language they use. if they are not happy with her, fine, but don't use that sort of language.

not surprisingly, tory remainders have been equally appalled. this was one of them, sarah woollaston. look at some of the violent language that somehow the rhone colleagues have been using about. i think they will be disgusted about it. mrs may really does have no room to manoeuvre now. she had to hold a conference call with the cabinet over the weekend. it went on for nearly an hour and a half, to keep them in the loop of the eu summit last week and all this talk about extending the transition period. i just feel she is absolutely hemmed in and cannot give any more ground now because she won't get anything past her cabinet and she won't get anything past her party. it means she's looking to the eu, if not blink, to backpedal on they insist there there has to be a northern

ireland only backstop. so far however, there is no sign that the eu is in any mood to back off. thank you, norman. and we'll bring you the prime minister's statement in the house of commons live here on bbc news. we've not got a precise time for that yet but it will be a some point from half past three this afternoon. western countries have increased the pressure still further on saudi arabia over the murder, in its turkish consulate, of jamal khashoggi. saudi arabia says the king and crown prince have offered their condolences to the son ofjamal khashoggi, and the saudi foreign minister has called the killing a "huge and grave mistake". germany, britain and france have signed a joint letter demanding facts, and chancellor angela merkel says her country will no longer export arms to riyadh. here's eliza philippidis. new footage showing hatice cengiz, seen on the left, spending the night

waiting for her fiance, jamal khashoggi, to come out of the saudi consulate. he never did. these pictures have been released showing what was probably the very last moment they spent together. saudi arabia has been under diplomatic pressure to tell the truth about what happened in istanbul. now they say his murder was a huge and grave mistake. we are determined to uncover every stone, we are determined to find out all of the facts, and we are determined to punish those who are responsible for this murder. many governments are currently unconvinced by the saudis' explanations as to what happened. germany say they will not export arms to saudi arabia, while the current uncertainty over the fate of mr khashoggi persists. translation: there is an urgent need to clarify what happened. we are far from having this cleared up, and those responsible held to account.

in a joint statement, the uk, france and germany have condemned the murder, saying... the turkish president has vowed to reveal within days the naked truth over the death of the washington postjournalist. translation: we are seeking justice, and this incident will be entirely revealed — entirely. why did 15 people come to istanbul? why were 18 people arrested? this must be revealed in detail. questions are being raised as to whether the west will really punish the saudis. they possess around 18% of the world's oil reserves, and earnings from military contracts are huge. eliza philippidis, bbc news. the transport secretary,

chris grayling, says the police should become involved after an elderly black woman was racially abused on a ryanair flight from barcelona to stansted. the budget airline has been criticised for failing to remove the passenger from a flight, after the abuse of the woman. here's an edited version of what happened. while the incident was reported to police, the airline has faced calls for a boycott, after footage of the incident was uploaded to social media and viewed almost two million times. the video was filmed by a fellow passenger, david lawrence. he explained what happened shortly after he boarded the aircraft. i heard a loud shout behind me, "get out of my way, you are in my way". i turned around, as you would.

i saw this man standing over this woman basically shouting abuse at her, saying that she is in his way. i then looked around to see if there was going to be any response from anyone. her daughter, who was sitting a bit further behind, came down to defend her mother. as you can see in the video, she is saying, "she is my mother, don't talk to her like that". he then started a shouting match with her. i then decided to grab my phone because i need to capture this. by that time he had sat down and a torrent of abuse came from him in regards to her colour, her race, all of these things. no one responded, there was no cabin crew by that time. speaking to me earlier the shadow transport secretary, kyle turner, said he fears that the man who racially abused the woman on the plane could avoid prosecution. ryanair have failed spectacularly in

this situation, notjust because this situation, notjust because this abusive passenger was committing criminal offences which we re committing criminal offences which were racially aggravated, he should have been projected absolutely immediately. he should've been handed over to the spanish authorities. but there is also a real problem now. i'm sure essex police are very keen on interviewing and investigating the criminal offe nces and investigating the criminal offences but the problem is the jurisdiction arguments because the law is clear, section 92 of the civil aviation act says, if the aeroplane of isms are registered in uk will only apply if the aircraft is travelling to a uk destination. it needs to be in flight. the

definition of in—flight is, the aircraft engines are on and the plane is moving. it was stood on tarmac in barcelona. so chris grayling is right, he wants the essex police to investigate and prosecute, so do i. unfortunately, because of ryanair's spectacular error in this instance i think he's going to get away with this scot—free. it is outrageous. the budget airline tweeted saying they are aware of the incident and that they have reported it to essex police. they say that as this is now a police matter they can not comment further. the group representing hospitals, ambulance services and other nhs trusts in england is predicting that the strain on health services this winter will be worse than last year. nhs providers say the provision of cancer care and routine operations is already under severe pressure — that's before hospitals respond to the seasonal demand for emergency care. and added on top of that are work force shortages intensifying other problems for the nhs.

(read 0n) the deputy ceo of nhs providers — saffron cordery spoke this morning to the bbc radio 4 today programme and told them why they are predicting such a tough winter for the nhs. we know the warning signs had out there, a&e performances dropped. we've got the at going up across all services, including routine person as well as emergency services. as you heard, the rising workforce shortages. we think it is going to bea shortages. we think it is going to be a challenging winter ahead. and yet, the nhs in england say, there is extra money gone into a&e, extra money gone in shorter term into social care, and that is better at national level winter planning. that's true. all that has happened and that is immensely welcome but what you got a look at is a number of factors. when money goes into the

system very late it is very difficult to deploy it effectively. we've had some welcome capital funding, £140 million, to make some changes in a&e departments but that came into september and has to be used by december. there are a number of issues about timing of funding. it is very welcome. more on today's main stories coming up on newsroom live here on the bbc news channel, but now we say goodbye to viewers on bbc two. russia has strongly denied claims it has violated a nuclear weapons agreement with the united states. the intermediate—range nuclear forces treaty deal was signed during the cold war, but now the us plans to withdraw. a kremlin spokesman this would make the world a more dangerous place and that russia would be forced to take measures to restore the balance of nuclear power. thieves in derbyshire have attempted to steal a cash machine from a shop by setting off an explosion. police were called

to the post office on chapel street in spondon near derby early this morning. debris — including the shop's front door — was thrown across the pavement in the blast and the cash machine had been moved about a foot by the force. police say nobody was injured. the headlines on bbc news — theresa may will tell mps this afternoon that the terms of the agreement under which the uk will leave the eu are 95% complete. the king and crown prince of saudi arabia have offered condolences to the son of the murdered journalist, jamal khashoggi, after their foreign minister admits he was murdered. the transport secretary, chris grayling, says the police should be involved after an elderly black woman was racially abused on a ryanair flight from barcelona to stansted. sport now over at the bbc sport

centre. lewis hamilton is good have to wait until next weekend in mexico to win his fifth formula 1 title. third at the us grand prix yesterday wasn't enough. he will surely do it and that'll take him a little bit closer to the record seven titles of michael schumacher. the racing legend sirjackie stewart believes hamilton will retire before reaching that mark. he will burn out. as the success brings, you then get... he's going into clothing, for example, he loves music, for example. sooner you get tired of it. i got tired of it ata get tired of it. i got tired of it at a young age, 34 years of age, i retired. i went on to other things. like all sports, you burn out. he will burn out. he will choose to

retire. the england and wales cricket board has dismissed allegations a small group of england players were involved in spot fixing in seven matches. the claims were made in an updated documentary made by the cat are based broadcaster, al jazeera. the ecb says the limited information is poorly prepared and lacks clarity and corroboration. the documentary has been dismissed by the fast bowler, mark wood, who is in sri lanka at the moment. it doesn't bother me. we get corruption training, anti—corruption training and we speak to the guys. all this al jazeera stuff, to and we speak to the guys. all this aljazeera stuff, to me, it's got no head or anything like that to it. it's nothing new to me. if it came up it's nothing new to me. if it came up with concrete evidence of the said a name then i would be a little

bit more worried something. other minutes, it doesn't bother me because they keep making accusations and there's nothing behind it. i'm too fussed. the west ham player could be as first six months after telling his achilles tendon during saturday's defeated tottenham. the ukrainejoined them saturday's defeated tottenham. the ukraine joined them in saturday's defeated tottenham. the ukrainejoined them in the saturday's defeated tottenham. the ukraine joined them in the summer. he scored twice this season. that is all the sports for now. the australian prime minister, scott morrison, has delivered a national apology to victims of institutional child sexual abuse. speaking in parliament in canberra, mr morrison said australia as a nation had failed to listen, to believe and to provide justice. the national apology was one recommendation of a royal commission that investigated decades of institutional child abuse in australia. hywel griffith reports. for kirra, today is about trust. abused as a teenager in care, she twice fell pregnant. the system failed her.

now the authorities want to say sorry. she's come to canberra to listen. a lot of abuse survivors don't trust easily and we're going to need to see some footwork and action as well as words. but sorry‘s a good start. as he delivered the apology, the australian prime minister said he did not expect forgiveness from victims. he acknowledged that, for years, so much abuse had been covered up. not just as a father but as a prime minister, i am angry too at the calculating destruction of lives and the abuse of trust, including those who have abused the shield of faith and religion to hide their crimes. 0utside, kirra tried to decide whether the apology, with all its emotion, would really make a difference. it's pretty hard to believe a politician, but i think, if they change half of what they promised to today, the world's

going to be a better place. australia has spent much of the last decade confronting the spectre of abuse in churches, schools, homes and sports clubs. a five—year inquiry recommended the national apology and compensation for around 60,000 victims. some abuse survivors, like paul, say far more is needed. he says real change to protect children will only come with tougher laws to jail those who cover up abuse. in all australia, there's only ever been one person convicted of covering up child sex abuse. and i ask you, i ask everybody, is that really good enough? while today's words do carry real weight, the test for many survivors is if they are followed by action. many here still feel a deep sense of frustration and anger, wounds that may never heal. hywel griffith, bbc news, canberra.

serial stalkers and domestic abusers should be placed on a new national register according to a group of mps. they've backed calls for greater protection for victims. under the proposals, individuals would be managed under the same arrangements as sex offenders. a national register of serial perpetrators, stalkers and domestic abusers can help the police to monitor, identify and better track serial perpetrators of abuse who may go from relationship to relationship, from area to area. but it has to be done properly and that means we have to understand all of these crimes put together. britain's biggest car maker — jaguar land rover — has stopped production at its biggest plant for two weeks from today. the company has blamed falling demand, especially in china, and is hoping that the shutdown at the solihull factory will clear a backlog of cars that haven't been sold.

the firm insists that no jobs will be lost. 30 people have been injured after a floor collapsed during a party at a block of flats in the city of clemson in south carolina. this video captured by one of the partygoers shows how people tried to climb back out of a large hole after the collapse. it's believed that the party had been organised by students at the local university and that the floor collapsed while people were dancing. police say that it's not clear yet how serious some of the injuries are. the former cricket star freddie flintoff and entertainment presenter paddy mcguinness are joining the motoring show, top gear. they'll begin filming their first series of the show early next year, alongside motoring journalist and racing driver, chris harris. it follows friends star matt le blanc's announcement that he was leaving the programme. his final series will be transmitted in early 2019. the radio 2 drivetime presenter simon mayo has announced

he will be leaving the station after eight years at the helm of the drivetime show. injune this yearjo wiley became his co—host, she will now move to the 7—9pm slot. earlier i asked our reporter lauren moss how surprising this decision was. somewhat. this is the second—biggest being presented to an as they are leaving radio 2 in as many months. last month, it was announced that chris evans will be leaving the brea kfast chris evans will be leaving the breakfast show. he has been replaced by zoe ball. now simon mayo has announced he is leaving radio 2 after presenting the drivetime programme for eight years. simon is a huge name in bbc. hejoined in the early 1980s presented the radio1 brea kfast early 1980s presented the radio1 breakfast show for five years, the album chart on radio two, in 2010 took over from chris evans

presenting drivetime. he lost a new drivetime programme earlier this year with jo whiley. drivetime programme earlier this year withjo whiley. that he launched. simon has treated this morning saying he is sad to leave the show. circumstances change. he says he will continue the film show he presents on five live on friday afternoons and has hinted about at radio centres to. that is yet to be confirmed. simon has book deals, he'll write a children's series, thatis he'll write a children's series, that is about a teenage boy who loves science. that is going to be filmed for the tv series in australia. juggling that writing and radio has been tricky, he writes, his departure will impactjo whiley. they do present the drivetime programme together and she been with bbc radio for many years. she is moving to a new show in the new year with a focus on new music. interesting his tweet that saying, circumstances change. has he given

any reason for going? do we think this has got anything to do with the joining together of hemantjo whiley for the drivetime show, which has been criticised in some quarters, their chemistry isn't what it could be? the new show has been criticised, mixed reaction from fans, people complaining the chemistry isn't right. radio 2 released a statement asking fans to give the new show a chance to settle. simon has used his announcement today to defend jo whiley and their working relationship. he has said, he has enjoyed working together, called her an exceptional talents, when the show was reconfigured jo whiley was his first choice. he goes on to say, they abuse theirjo whiley is receiving about their programme has been appalling. he has called the warm—hearted and loyal friend. been appalling. he has called the warm—hearted and loyalfriend. in return, jo whiley says, she is sad that simon is leaving base is

looking forward to hosting a new dream show with music at the very heart of it. maybe quite telling state m e nts heart of it. maybe quite telling statements there. it is not known who is going to take over their drivetime slot on radio 2, that is going to be announced in the couple of weeks. the duke and duchess of sussex have been visiting fraser island in queensland. it's one of the royal couple's final stops in australia before they move on to fiji and new zealand, as our royal correspondent jonny dymond reports. harry has been in paradise today, quite literally. fraser island is one name for this place. the other name is gari which translates as paradise. he came here to open something called the queen's commonwealth canopy. it's a conservation project that stretches across dozens of countries in the commonwealth, and he made his way deep into the rainforest, across bumpy and rutted roads, where he had a welcome to country ceremony and unveiled a plaque. but he made thatjourney alone because meghan, his wife, skipped on that section of the tour, we think because of the nature of the roads

and because of her pregnancy. he went on to another couple of projects and then he came back here to a place called mckenzie's jetty where there was a surprise waiting for the people who stayed here. because here he wasjoined by the duchess of sussex. they walked down the pier, they met a large group of well—wishers. as ever, a hugely enthusiastic welcome, but what is notable is that they make the effort to come to the smaller places in australia as well as the big cities. they talked, they chatted, they shook hands, they got presents — they always do — and now they're going to end this stage of their tour of australia and make their way to fiji. now it's time for a look at the weather. we can catch up with nick miller. with us sun be shining here? there isa with us sun be shining here? there is a big change on the way by the end of this week to much colder

weather even though there will be a bit of sunshine around by then. some of us will be seeing snow, the northern hills. it is all changing the weather as we go through this week. it is fairly quiet out there at the moment. the ricin ring to be had northern scotland, the rain that is reaching north—west scotland is later but we're going to see it heavier going into this evening. a little bit cooler across the uk. most little bit cooler across the uk. m ost pla ces little bit cooler across the uk. most places have a mixture of sunshine and cloud. tonight, heavier rainfor sunshine and cloud. tonight, heavier rain for the northern isles into mainland scotland. temperatures staying up for the northern part of the uk. lower temperatures in the south. tomorrow, a brisk wind and pulses of rain running into scotland whereas elsewhere it stays fine, dry with some sunshine. 18 degrees in aberdeenshire. it won't feel like that by the end of this week. wednesday and thursday, still pretty

quiet. 0n wednesday and thursday, still pretty quiet. on thursday we will see some rain into parts of scotland. is that weather that moves into southwood. it is cold air following behind. hello this is bbc newsroom live. the headlines: theresa may will address mps frustrated with brexit negotiations this afternoon — she is expected to say that 95% of the withdrawal agreement is complete, but she still can't accept the eu's plan for the irish border. the king and crown prince of saudia arabia have offered their condolences to the son of murdered journalist jamal khashoggi. authorities say he was killed by "rogue operators". budget airline ryanair comes under fire for failing to eject a passenger who was filmed racially abusing a black woman sitting nearby. and the nhs could be in for another winter crisis, as it's warned that pressures on the health service could be even worse than last year. also coming up — a rare type

of albatross is at risk of extinction as it comes under attack from super—sized mice. the international tobacco manufacturer, philip morris limited, which makes brands such as marlboro, has sparked controversy by launching a campaign to encourage smokers to give up cigarettes. the firm says it's part of its commitment to focus on alternatives like e—cigarettes. here's their spokesperson — peter nixon. our main strategy is really trying to get people to switch from harmful products, which is cigarettes, to alternatives. that's really what we are about. we said two years ago, we want to stop selling cigarettes completely. we want to switch all of our business to alternative products, which are less harmful. i think the uk, where we are now is, we've got 7.5 million smokers, and the predictions

are that is going to continue. we're going to have smokers for another 30, 40 years. the key question is, what do we do about that? we could do nothing. we could just continue to keep selling cigarettes. but we've made a decision, we want to switch people towards alternatives. and this hold my light campaign is about trying to get people to either quit or switch. but campaigners have accused the company of staggering hypocrisy over the new campaign — saying the firm is simply trying to promote its smoking alternatives. earlier i spoke to hazel cheeseman from the public health charity — action on smoking and health — she says the company should be backing hard tobacco control measures around the world. and is pure pr for the luke morris to sell products they've struggled to sell products they've struggled to advertise on any other way is because we have such strict rules in the uk. -- it because we have such strict rules in the uk. —— it is pure pr for philip morris. we have to look at the global company, £78 billion in revenue last year. this is a global tobacco company, with the majority of their business comes from them

selling combustible cigarettes. 7 million people will die in tobacco related illnesses globally this year. 80% of smokers are from low and middle income countries, and those are the places where philip morris continued to promote their combustible smoking products, and have lobbied against tobacco control regulations and taken countries to court. but even if they encourage some of those people you are talking about, some of those smokers, to switch to less harmful alternatives, you must welcome that, mustn't you? i think you must welcome that, mustn't you? ithinka you must welcome that, mustn't you? i think a one—off pr campaign doesn't make up for the decades and decades of promotion that philip morris, one of the makers of —— the makers of marlborough, one of the most recognisable products in the world, encouraging children to take up world, encouraging children to take up smoking around the world. this £2 million campaign where they want to promote their other products to the

uk isn't enough to forget about the decades of harm caused. if they want to see a smoke—free future, which is what they say, then they really ought to be backing and supporting ha rd to ba cco ought to be backing and supporting hard tobacco control measures, like we have the uk, in other countries around the world where are selling their products. let's go back now to the news of the death ofjamal khashoggi — the saudi foreign minister has admitted that the journalist was murdered — and has called the killing a "huge and grave mistake". turkish president recep tayyip erdogan has said he will be revealing "full details" of what happened when he speaks in the turkish parliament tomorrow. 0ur correspondent sebastian usher is in the saudi capital riyadh, where the stage is set for the so—called ‘davos in the desert‘ summit, even though some high profile names have pulled out. somethings that evidence will be

rather overshadowed. what has been reaction to the german chancellor's announcement that germany. selling arms to saudi arabia? —— many think that events will be rather overshadowed by this. this isn't a conversation people would be having. this is the ritz—carlton, the lavish, grandiose hotel where the so—called. .. people lavish, grandiose hotel where the so—called... people were held hostage and shaking down for money. it has a history. people are trying to keep the show on the road, essentially. as you say, most of the top name speakers, a lot of them have pulled out, but delegations

from those companies, investment companies, banks, will still be there. i'm told there are about 1000 attendees. i've been told that it has been a big challenge to try and turnit has been a big challenge to try and turn it around. their web page still hasn't shown who the speakers are who are going to replace all of those who have disappeared. i've tried to get information. i've been told to wait and see. this is just one day to go until it actually opens. it is quite a hard task. but you wouldn't know. the only giveaway is the tv in the background, which now, differently from how it would have been in saudi arabia a few days ago, now that the saudis are presenting their versions of events, it is showing that pretty much at the top of the hour. now that the saudis foreign minister is speaking and giving all of the details on what they say happened, that is the narrative of what they are trying to tell. i understand the message is best foot forward, but did you get

any sense from any of the people you have met there that there is a concern other countries might join germany in putting pressure on saudi arabia? that's the major concern. essentially, for everyone who is involved in business, politically with saudi arabia, it is how far this crisis will go. they are watching day by day. it's interesting that tomorrow, as you we re interesting that tomorrow, as you were saying, president erred again said he will be announcing the real details formally for the first time of the turkish accusations. —— president erdogan. that is as this showpiece is taking place. people will be very much aware of that. people will be hoping that the money, the billions of dollars, not just the money, but i was talking to one man who is basically an environment list. he is there because he felt this was to live up

to that billing of being like a davos where people will be discussing not just the future of saudi arabia, but the future of the world. and there are projects in saudi arabia, in the red sea, for example, which are meant to be a blueprint for how the rest of this region will deal with environmental and heritage issues. he said he had the concerns about coming but in the end he felt it was more important to be here, participate, be at the table, despite everything, than to be away. that will be the hope. but obviously the more you have announcement like —— announcements like this from government, the more of the talk will mean —— the more the talk will mean very little. i'm joined now by irem koker — she's from the bbc turkish service. turkish media are reporting that the office of crown prince mohammed was called four times after the killing

of this journalist. can you tell us any more about that? that another lea k any more about that? that another leak published by the turkish newspapers. it's important to note that this newspaper which published this story is a pro—government newspaper. it's one of the news outlets that has close ties with the president himself. so we can assume these leaks are coming directly from these leaks are coming directly from the president's office. allegedly, the president's office. allegedly, the report says that his personal assessment was called four times after the killing took place in the consulate building. we can suggest that they are pointing out the involvement of crown prince mohammed. is there anyway we can

verify these reports? do we know if they are true? it's difficult to verify for stock apparently it is all based on background information lea ked all based on background information leaked by turkish officials. —— difficult to verify. but information has changed a few times. last week there were reports that jamal khashoggi was killed by beheading. but now there are reports he might have been strangled. the narrative has been changing by these reports. the narrative seems to be very much controlled by the turkish government. that's correct. and we know the turkish leader is going to make some further pronouncements about what is said to have happened tomorrow. do you have any sense of what further details he might be revealing? yesterday when he said he would be providing further details on the investigation, he mentioned he would give more details about the identities and the background of the

15 security officers which arrived the same day jamal 15 security officers which arrived the same dayjamal khashoggi went missing. he said i will be talking about these 15 people and 18 detained in saudi arabia. we might assume that he will be talking about who these people are. what the turkish investigators have found about them. it'll be important to see the key point, whether he will be pointing his finger at saudi arabian government, or the crown prince himself. because the turkish government, so far, was quite relu cta nt to government, so far, was quite reluctant to show them as the main perpetrators of this. he will be speaking tomorrow, as you say, so we will be watching that closely. for now, many thanks. a delegation including former conservative secretary of state iain duncan smith and the former northern ireland first minister lord trimble has been meeting the eu's chief brexit negotiator michel barnier in brussels. former enviroment secretary 0wen paterson started by explaining what the group had been discussing.

further to my letter i wrote to michel barnier back in september when we published our european paper on how we could help resolve the issues around all uk's borders but with particular reference to northern ireland. we believe using existing techniques, existing processes and all within existing eu law, we can continue to trade seamlessly across all borders without damaging the integrity of the european customs union and single market, which is fundamental for them. we had a long and constructive meeting with mr barnier and his staff and we're going to go back and report the details to our colleagues and our own government. we can't negotiate in public. the government negotiates, we're just here to present a paper, which we did, and have a constructive discussion, which we had. we are now going back and we will talk to the government about it. you seem to be one of the few

people from northern ireland who thinks it is possible to do what was just outlined, it is possible to have the best of every world, everyone is happy? i very much hope that everyone will be happy at the end. we are certain that we can produce something that will meet the needs for the moment. are you undermining the prime minister? absolutely not. you've got to understand, we come back to what we said earlier on, we are presenting some ideas which we think are constructive and we had a constructive discussion and now we're going to go back and talk to the government about it. this is all within a par of what the government says they want to achieve which is, ultimately, leave on the best terms. any of you responsible for the violent imagery in the papers this weekend aimed at the prime minister? i don't know anything about that other than what i've heard. whoever did that needs to have the fullest weight of the conservative party on them. it may not turn out to be that, it is nothing to do with our politics, it has nothing to do with this issue. would you give your full support

to the prime minister? i have always done. my prime minister gets my full support, that is it, full stop. we are fully behind it, we've got article 50 past, we've got the withdrawal passed and now what we want to see is this an arrangement. —— we are fully behind her, we've got article 50 passed, we've got the withdrawal passed and now what we want to see is this an arrangement. what we have to do now is catch a train. let's get more from our brussels reporter adam fleming. how do you reflect on that meeting and what those gentlemen were saying there? when you listen to the state m e nts there? when you listen to the statements from 0wen paterson, lord trimble, and iain duncan smith, they sound very reasonable, don't they? we're not here to undermine the prime minister, we'rejust here we're not here to undermine the prime minister, we're just here to speak to michel barnier and tell him our ideas. but actually they fundamentally disagree with the pm about the end state about the relationship between the uk and eu should be like. the prime minister

is talking about her trip is planned, as it has become known, in which we would see a free—trade area for goods at agricultural products between the uk and eu with a common rule book which would be managed in a dynamic way with new rules and richer nations potentially being applied to the uk as they emerge from brussels. but those men there, there to see michel barnier, are com pletely there to see michel barnier, are completely against that. they want to see a much more traditional free—trade agreement, the kind the eu has with lots of countries around the world. when it comes to the controversial issue of the backstop, this back—up plan to avoid a hard border in northern ireland, the european research group, a group of conservative eurosceptics and brexiteers, but forward a plan a couple of months ago about an alternative way to solve that. they said they would just use traditional methods you would use in a normal free—trade agreement to solve that. the eu says those traditional methods like bar codes and special custom schemes, could be part of the

solution, but they would have to apply to goods coming from the uk to northern ireland, with northern ireland staying within some parts of the single market. but they are also talking about goods going from northern ireland to ireland, which is opposed by the eu. this visit must have been pleasant, and interesting for all involved, but it hasn't taken us any further forward, other than showing there is a lot of pressure on the prime minister to ta ke pressure on the prime minister to take a different course. thanks for now. the former england cricketer, andrew flintoff, and the tv presenter paddy mcguinness are to be the new hosts of top gear. they'll take the steering wheel from the ex—friends star matt leblanc, who announced he was leaving the show earlier this year — after four series. well andrew flintoff has just tweeted about being the new host. he said — "not going to lie — couldn't be happier". and there is a photograph of the new

presenters with chris harris. the headlines on bbc news... theresa may will tell mps this afternoon that the terms of the agreement under which the uk will leave the eu are 95 per cent complete. the king and crown prince of saudi arabia have offered condolences to the son of the murdered journalist — jamal khashoggi — after their foreign minister admits he was murdered the transport secretary, chris grayling, says the police should be involved after an elderly black woman was racially abused on a ryanair flight from barcelona to stansted. victims of the nhs contaminated blood scandal have written to the health secretary asking for an immediate increase in support payments. the letter calls for payments in england, wales and northern ireland to be increased to the level received by scottish victims of the scandal. a public inquiry opened last month into how thousands of people in the 1970s and 80s were given blood products infected with hepatitis viruses and hiv. it's thought more than 2,000 people have died,

while many others have been left in very poor health. sue threa kall‘s husband, bob, died in 1991 after he was infected with hiv through contaminated blood products. financially it has been an incredible struggle. it's been completely traumatising for many people. people have had to sell their homes. people have been unable to get mortgages. to get life insurance. we have instances, we've had one recently, a few weeks ago, where someone was widowed, someone we all know very well, and she is in the throes of desperately, desperately trying to sell their beautiful forever home before the bank repossess it. nobody should be put in that position because of somebody else's fault. labour mp diana johnson is co—chair of the parliamentary group

on contaminated blood — she's been speaking to my colleague joanna gosling and says the victims need to be paid proper compensation. they need to be compensated. they've never had that. there's never been an admission of liability by the state, that's the problem, that's why the government has given these ad hoc payments. i think what's interesting, though, if you look at what happened in southern ireland, they did make compensatory payments without admitting liability. and they were generous compensatory payments. so there's no reason at all why our government couldn't decide now, even though the public enquiry is under way, to say, right, we're going to compensate these people and pay them properly. because even the financial schemes we are talking about today and levelling up are still, i don't believe, adequate to really compensate people for what happened to them, and their lives, in many cases, have been destroyed. so, what would you think would be the correct amount? because when you talk about levelling up i presume you mean to the scottish level, but you still don't

think that's enough. i still don't think that's enough. i think in the interim that's one measure that could be introduced quickly, but i think what the government really need to do is pay proper compensation. we're talking about hundreds of thousands of pounds. because of the effect this has had on people's lives. and also in ireland, they've done things like given them priority, this group, in terms of health care, so they always at the front of the queue to get any health care procedures they need. how do you ascertain exactly what the level should be at this stage? because this isn't due to come under the remit of the enquiry until 2020, which is, seems to be the consensus, too far—away, when people are suffering now, but it needs to be properly scrutinised, doesn't it? yes, of course it does, but in southern ireland they were able to do that. and we know within negligence cases in law there are ways of calculating the loss to somebody, the loss of earnings, the loss of enjoyment of life. that could all be done, i think, if the government had the will, they could do this. the other thing the appg would like to see is that this group is passport it onto the new welfare benefits the government have brought in.

a lot of these people now are having to go through assessments through employment support, or personal independence payments, and being turned down. and then having to go through a further appeal. we say, you should passport this group right through to these new benefits. a rare type of albatross is at risk of extinction — as it comes under attack from super—sized mice. the colony of tristan albatross on gough island in the south atlantic is threatened by mice that have learnt to eat their eggs and young chicks. video cameras set up showed up to nine mice eating the chicks alive — which has helped them to grow fifty percent larger than a domestic mouse. the mice were introduced by sailors in the nineteenth century, and the rspb is planning an operation to eradicate them by 2020. when you have something like mice arrive they expand

to fill that niche. these guys developed a taste of sea birds with devastating consequences. and they do it in groups? yes, anywhere from one, we have seen up to eight or nine on a single albatross. it's important to note that albatross are just one of the 23 breeding sea birds on gough island. this affects all of them. the mice are eating other species, as well? yes, that's right. anything from little tiny storm pectorals that are maybe 30, 40 grams, up to the ten kilogram tristan albatross. in a year, there's about 2 million chicks on the island that get eaten by mice. how long has this been going on for? mice were introduced in the 19th century as you mentioned, we only got a handle on the problem in the last 25 years when we started sending scientific teams there in the winter. that's when the mice are particularly voracious. there is no alternative food around like fruit or berries. the big question, how can this problem be dealt with?

the rspb is planning an eradication of mice from the island. this will entail hiring a ship and helicopters that will fly over the island in the summer, sorry, winter of 2020 to spread a bait over the island. this is a common technique that is used in island restoration, it's been done successfully on 700 islands. we are reasonably confident of success. just to to decode what this kind of bait is, you are going to poison them? that is right, it is a pellet, they eat one and the mice will die within 24 hours. how do you know only mice will eat these pallets and none of these other species? the operation will be done in the winter when most birds are not on the island. seabirds forage at sea, they don't get food from land. they are not adapted to do that. the gough has two endemic land birds, the finch and a moor hen. to mitigate any issues there, there will be captive populations kept at both.

the important thing to remember is that eradications like this are playing the long game. 1.7 million chicks a year are killed by mice so even though there may be a short—term decline they will bounce back. how quickly will these rare birds recover if everything goes according to plan? if everything goes according to plan, the first breeding season after the mice are removed will be a bumper crop. depending on the species it will take several years for that to be reflected in the population. but we'll see an immediate effect. as a pastime it involves a tremendous leap of faith. base—jumping is becoming increasingly popular — but it's not always legal. however, in west virginia, once a year, they let hundreds of people base jump off one of the highest road bridges in north america. tim allman has more. believe it or not, but this

is supposed to be fun. away they go, one after another, each of them proving that sir isaac newton knew exactly what he was talking about. most do it by themselves. three, two, one! but some enjoy a little company. the biggest officially approved gathering of base jumpers in the whole world. normally we have to sneak around and find objects to jump off of, but for six hours, once a year, on one day, we get to come out here and do it legally. they were literally queueing up for the chance to jump into the great unknown. and this was the picturesque venue, a bridge over the new river gorge in west virginia. more than 900 metres in length, and a drop of more than 260 metres,

it's no surprise some might want a little reassurance before they depart. from your perspective it looks crazy and risky, from our perspective there's a lot of methodical background that goes into it. and the packing. everything about what we've done has led up to this. there were plenty of onlookers, preferring to observe rather than participate, who knows, maybe next year they'll be willing to give it a go. either way, one thing is clear, what goes up really must come down. tim allman, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather. big change in the weather on the way by the end of this week. it'll be hugely different from what we experienced over the weekend. temperatures from scotland to southern england just drove —— rose above 20 degrees. there will be some

snow into northern hills this weekend. single figure temperatures across the board. feeling cold in a strong northerly winds. it hasn't arrived yet. we still have high pressure over much of the uk. it isn't feeling as warm as it did over the weekend, but it is still pleasant. the breeze is picking up over the northern half of the uk. in the northern isles cost may be in excess of 60 mph. but it is also wet. —— gusts maybe in excess of 60 mph. temperatures in the mid to low teens. ever your rain around tonight across northern scotland. quite windy here at times. a breezy picked over the northern half of the uk. it'll be milder than last night here. at the further south you are, lower single figures in places, maybe a couple of practice of mist and fog around as tuesday begins. we keep this heavy rain, especially

into the western isles of scotland on through tuesday. another windy day. particularly over the higher ground of scotland and england. most places dry, sunny spells, maybe up to 18 degrees in the sunshine in aberdeenshire. wednesday, the rain in north—western scotland will be easing. a quiet day over most areas, dry, variable cloud, and sunshine. this is the story on thursday, we will get a weather front, this area of rain pushing on with outbreaks of rain over northern scotland. late in the day it is over northern ireland. ahead of that, temperatures still in the mid to low teens. this weather front moving south. friday has the cold air behind it. it plunges south. we are all in the blue. add on the wind, it'll feel colder. there will be showers around, some sunshine, and temperatures could well be falling. this is a

significant difference compared with what we have seen of late, so it could be quite a shock to the system. that's your forecast. theresa may is to tell mps that a brexit deal is 95% complete. she'll update the commons on her negotiations with the eu. it comes amid condemnation of the violent language used against her by some of her own tory mps. is it acceptable to use terms like "hot knives being plunged into them", "bring your own noose"? this is really violent, threatening language which is wholly unacceptable. they should put their names to those quotes, i'm afraid. we'll have the latest from westminster and from brussels. also this lunchtime: saudi arabia's crown prince phones the son of murdered journalist jamal khashoggi to send his condolences. russian anger as president trump says he'll pull out of a key missile treaty with moscow.
