rivals against thinking of replacing her as conservative leader this morning. speaking on sky news she said it wouldn't make the brexit negotiations any easier and it wouldn't change the parliamentary arithmetic. the former brexit secretary, dominic raab, is accusing the prime minister of failing to stand up to a bullying european union. in an interview in the sunday times newspaper today, mr raab, who resigned over the draft withdrawal agreement last week, said there had been a lack of resolve in dealing with brussels. he suggested britain walk away from negotiations rather than be bullied.

let's talk now to our political correspondent peter saull. what has dominic raab been saying? dominic raab resigned a few days ago, already proving to be a bit of ago, already proving to be a bit of a thorn in the prime minister's side. he insists he does still back the prime minister but suggesting her approach to the negotiation was not nearly strong enough. as you say, urging her or whoever to take this on to stand up to what he calls the brussels bullies. and if necessary if we cannot get a better deal, potentially walk away from the negotiating table without any deal whatsoever. his principal concern is over this thing called a backstop. the insurer —— insurance policy to make sure there is no hard border between northern ireland and the irish republic in the event that we do not negotiate a trade deal in the next couple of years after we leave

the european union. according to the d raft the european union. according to the draft text that would be a joint decision between the uk in the eu and he wants britain to be able to make that decision unilaterally. theresa may who has been giving an interview to sky news in the past hour, has insisted over and over again that this in her view will not come to pass. she believes the backstop is only there in the event that they do not get a deal and she is confident of being able to do that. let's have a listen to what she has been saying this morning. that. let's have a listen to what she has been saying this morningm course it has been a tough week. these negotiations have been tough ride from the start but they were always going to get more difficult towards the end. when we come to that conclusion. what i think is, this is not about me. it's about what's right for the people of this country, it's about what's in the national interest. that's what drives me and that's what i'm being driven to deliver, that's what is what i want to deliver for people. that's what i believe this deal does. i think it's right in the national interest. these next seven

days are going to be critical, they are about the future of this country, it's about people'sjobs and livelihoods, about the future for their children and grandchildren. i think what is interesting in what you just heard there is that she is saying the next seven days are going to be critical. she said the last seven days have been tough, don't we know it but over the next seven days she hopes she will be able to go back to brussels and speak to the negotiators about the future relationship part of the withdrawal agreement. so there are hundreds of pages about how we end our relation ship with the european union for now and a few pages at the end about the future relationship, she wants more detail in that, a firm commitment from the european union that her ideas for an overarching trading relationship will be negotiated legally once we leave the european union. meanwhile we have also been hearing from the labour leader jeremy corbyn, what has he had to say? his position has been criticised because he has been

keeping all options on the table. he was asked about the question of another referendum, whether that was come to pass and he said that is not a question for now, that is a question for the future. but also asked about an apparent disconnect between him and his shadow brexit secretary sir keir starmer, saying that brexit can be stopped, keir starmer, in an interview earlier this week and jeremy corbyn said he does not believe it can be stopped. as of this moment, the arithmetic in parliament is such that brexit has been triggered, article 50, we voted for article 50 in order to give respect to the referendum. i was asked this question by a paper in germany and what i said was, we could not stop it because we do not have the votes in parliament to do so. have the votes in parliament to do so. what i want to do is say to the government, you have all this time to negotiate, you are not go to get this thing through parliament, don't waste another two weeks on this because you must have read the rooms

in parliament, go back now. he is not ruling out potentially that this thing could be stopped. you heard him, if there is a majority in parliament to do so, it could be stopped. he doesn't believe that is a question at the moment. the second thing is the negotiations, he believes though still time to go back to brussels and in his words get a better deal. he talked about the fact that a lot of these deals tend to be done in the 11th hour in brussels and he believes there is still potential to change course. lots of arithmetic to think about, the arithmetic of how this thing could get through the commons but also the arithmetic about where there could be a no—confidence vote in the prime minister. 48 letters is what the rebel tory backbenchers, the brexiteer ‘s have to get some of getting closer to that now, that 48? we do not know for sure. the only person who knows if the chair of the backbench 1922 committee graham

brady, backbench1922 committee graham brady, he is going to beginning into —— he is going to beginning interviews this afternoon and i think he will be keeping his lips sealed. theresa may said this morning as far as she is aware, that threshold have not been reached. but graham brady per probably would not even tell his own wife if that threshold had been reached, he is professional about this. the numbers are all over the place in the newspapers, some believe the threshold has been reached and others think it is short. we know for sure 23 mps have publicly said they have put in a letter to the backbench1922 committee and adding to that number today is the former conservative mayoral candidate zac goldsmith, who said that if he knew that this was going to be the arrangement, the brexit deal at the moment, he probably would have voted remain in the referendum two and a half years ago. he was quite an ardent brexiteer. thank you very

much indeed, peter. president trump has visited northern california to see the devastation caused by wildfires, the worst ever in the state. this morning, officials said five more bodies have been recovered bringing the total number of deaths to 76. more than 1,200 people are still missing. our correspondent dave lee has more. this isjust a glimpse of the kind of bravery shown by those tackling california's fires. this footage was taken from a security camera outside a house in southern california. on saturday, president trump visited affected areas to see the devastation for himself. he began his trip in the north, where most of those killed by this fire have been found so far. he was met on the tarmac by california's governor, jerry brown, and the man who will take over from him injanuary, governor—elect gavin newsom, both men who clashed publicly with the president for blaming

what he said was poor forest management before offering any condolences to the families of the dead. the president struck a much more conciliatory tone in person. we're all going to work together, and we'll do a realjob. but this is very sad to see. as far as the lives are concerned, nobody knows quite yet. we're up to a certain number, but we have a lot of people that are unaccounted for. the next few days provide new challenges. those fighting the blaze are welcoming the forecast of rain, but those taking care of recovery efforts worry it could make their work even more difficult. as of tonight, the current list of unaccounted for individuals stands at 1276, which is an increase today of 265 over yesterday. that's due in large part to our continuing effort to mine the data. meanwhile, others in the state continue to suffer from dangerously poor air quality. spending the day outside,

experts have said, is like smoking half a packet of cigarettes. some of britain's biggest companies are urging the government to honour a promise to give mental health in the workplace the same status as physical health. executives from 50 companies, including royal mail, wh smith and ford,have written to theresa may, asking her to follow through on last year's manifesto pledge to update health and safety legislation. the government says it will bring forward the recommendations of an independent review. three men are in hospital after a shooting in north london. police say they were called to enfield yesterday evening, and two of the men are believed to have suffered gunshot wounds. no arrests have been made. the government has confirmed plans to allow universities to offer two year, or "accelerated degrees". they would be allowed to charge higher fees per year but overall students would save around £5,500.

our education correspondent sean coughlan reports. instead of studying for three years at 30 weeks a year, the government wants more universities to provide fast—track courses, with degrees taught over two years, with 45 weeks of studying. these shorter, more intensive courses, would mean savings of about £5,500 tuition fees and a years worth of accommodation and living costs. the universities minister thinks it will particularly help to reverse the decline in the number of mature students who might want to reduce the cost, and to get back into work more quickly. even though the overall cost would be lower than studying for three years, each year would have tuition fees equivalent to about £11,000 per year, above the current maximum limit of £9,250. such a change to the fee system would have to be approved by parliament and that could prove a significant stumbling block. sean coughlan, bbc news.

a woman has died, and 200 other people have been injured in demonstrations against rising fuel prices in france. more than a quarter of a million people joined the protests. the price of diesel in the country has risen by around 23% over the past year, the highest level for nearly 20 years. one of the most controversial industrial projects built in the uk, is closing down after nearly a quarter of a century. the nuclear reprocessing plant at sellafield in cumbria, has already recycled its last batch of fuel. parts of the site will now be used to store waste, while the rest will be decommissioned, a process expected to take decades, as theo leggett reports. this is thorpe, for nearly 25 years, this has been recycling old nuclear

fuel, separating usable uranium and plutonium from useless waste. a process once seen as a kind of alchemy. but soon, alarms were sounding. thorp was meant to provide fuel for a new generation of super—efficient power stations, but they were never built and ambitious targets were never met. the plant didn't operate as well as we had originally expected. there were a number of operational problems throughout its life. those lofty expectations were built on expectations around nuclear power, cost of uranium and those expectations did not, those assumptions, did not prove to be valid. thorp did make some £9 billion reprocessing waste from overseas, but now those contracts have dried up as well. although reprocessing has now finished here at thorp, that isn't the end for this vast facility. parts of the plant will still be used to store old nuclear fuel,

and the rest, that will become part of a growing industry — nuclear decommissioning. the most dangerous parts of the site will have to be decontaminated before being dismantled. sophisticated technologies being developed to go where humans can't. thorp was once a key target for environmental campaigners, greenpeace. they now agree that decommissioning creates exciting opportunities. decommissioning has to be done well, with skilled people who know what they are doing and have experience in doing it. so we support decommissioning work and if that sellafield wants to become a global leader of that, we are supportive. under there is nitric acid with a lot of radioactive substances? thorp once symbolised ambitious plans for a future of keep cheap and clean nuclear power. its legacy though, is a contaminated facility which will take decades to decommission. theo leggett, bbc news, sellafield. the headlines on bbc news.

former brexit secretary dominic raab criticises the government's "lack of political will and resolve" in dealing with the eu. president trump visits northern california, where 76 people have been confirmed dead and more than 1,200 missing following wildfires. mental health in the workplace should be given the same status as physical health, say 50 top business executives. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's will perry. england's cricketers claimed their first series win in sri lanka for 17 years with a 57—run victory in the second test. the hosts started day five in pallekele needing 75 runs for victory. it took england just half an hour to get the three wickets they required to finish off sri

lanka. moeen ali ended up with 4 wickets, jack leach got five in just his third test match for england. one more test to go in the series, but plenty of positives forjoe root‘s side in a part of the world where they'd really struggled in years gone by. it's their first away series win for two years. the guys have worked extremely hard here. we have planned very well for it. we said we were going to play in a certain manner and we have backed that up completely throughout the two games. and that's probably the most pleasing thing, if we have stuck to our guns, been ruthless when we have had our opportunity to get ahead in the games and soaked up pressure on occasion as well. seeing this team grow all the time, looking to improve in practice and driving that standard output is a great position to be in. francesco mola nari has all but been crowned race to dubai champion.

the world tour championship, but fleetwood finished a long way down the leaderboard. former masters champion danny willett is currently in the lead. he sunk this 50 foot putt on the second to put himself ahead. he's currently 17 under under and is in contention for his first win since the masters two and a half years ago. ireland beat new zealand on home soilfor the first time with a dramatic 16—9 win at the aviva stadium. it was an absorbing game but the only try came from ulster starjacob stockdale with this brilliant chip and gather. jonny sexton kicked the rest of the points in what was an historic night for the irish, much to the delight of radio ulster‘sjim neilly. it's knocked forward and it's all over! i have seen every single thing i want to see at a rugby match at dear rod la nsdowne i want to see at a rugby match at dear rod lansdowne road. i have seen ireland win triple crowns, but i

have seen ireland win against the new zealand all blacks were the first time on this hallowed turf. and i will take that to my grave. a much changed england side struggled against japan. who led at the break, after their captain michael leitch scored an outstanding try as england's defence floundered. in the 2nd half, eddiejones' side ran in three unanswered tries with joe thokanasiger scoring on his debut there were 10 wales tries as they comfortably beat tonga 74—24 in cardiff. they're now one win away from their first autumn clean sweep. and scotland came close, but not close enough as they fell to a narrow defeat against south africa at murrayfield. it's scotland's first defeat at home in a year. there was a strange ending to the semis at the atp world tour finals as alexander zverev beat roger federer. the german stopped play in the tie break after a ball boy dropped a ball at the back of the court. it's all above board and within of the rules of tennis

for him to do that but sections of the crowd didn't like it, and they booed him in his post—match interview. zverev will play novak djokovic in the final later today. football, and scotland hammered albania 4—0 in the nations league. bournemouth‘s ryan fraser scored the first of the night with a fine curling effort. he was involved in the 4th goal as well, setting up celtic‘s james forrest to dink and volley into the back of the net. if scotland beat israel at hampden park on tuesday night they'll be promoted to the second tier of the competition, and also secure a play—off spot for euro 2020. and great britain are still without a win at hockey‘s champions trophy in china. having drawn with the hosts in their opening match they lost 2—0 to australia this morning. their next game's against japan on tuesday. that's all the sport for now. president trump has said the us will determine in the next

few days who it thinks was behind the murder of the saudi journalist, jamal khashoggi. there have been reports that the cia believes mr khashoggi's killing was ordered by crown prince mohammed bin salman. saudi arabia has blamed rogue intelligence agents. our arab affairs editor sebastian usher is in the saudi capital riyadh. a little earlier he gave us this update on the story. essentially they are continuing with a policy of denial and deflection. the denial came almost immediately after the report appeared in the washington post, it came from one of the people named in the report, the cia said it had got hold of an intercepted phone call from khalid bin salman, the saudi ambassador to washington who is also the crown prince's brother. he said he had called jamal khashoggi by phone and told him that he should go to istanbul to deal with his papers. and that it would be safe.

bin salman tweeted since shortly after that that he had never called jamal khashoggi and he certainly never told him to go to istanbul. that was the way it was playing out yesterday in saudi arabia. this morning they have been looking for in terms of positives, the saudi media, is that what president trump was saying, in the sense that he has not made up his mind. he has been told that crown prince mohammed bin salman was not involved. essentially he has not come down one way or another. the us state department issued a statement saying that there were still numerous unanswered questions. the saudis are making a lot of that saying essentially nothing is clear, even the americans are not sure about what's going on. what are your impressions, as you are in saudi arabia at the moment, what are your impressions about the impact that all of this has happened there and in particular on the position of the crown prince? to what extent does it undermine his authority

and his position as de facto ruler of the country? that is a question that works on several levels. we do not really know the inside workings of the royal family and we know there has been friction and angerfor a long time, it's a huge royalfamily, essentially this extraordinary rise of the crown prince pushed a lot of other people aside. a lot of other people whose noses were out ofjoint. but his control of the country had become so complete, all of the levers of power that everyone essentially got with the programme. but this is an opportunity, and we have seen signs of this, that older heads, the way that saudi arabia has done things in the past, the more cautious way, may be beginning to return and there could be an indication of that tomorrow when there is this big speech by king salman, the father of the crown prince, to a council which might lay out some sense of how saudi arabia is going to navigate the crisis. in terms of talking to people here,

i was at a conference couple of days ago with thousands of young saudis. it was the charity that mohammed bin salman runs. they are still, and sincerely, it's not just that they feel like they have to say this, they are still very enthused about the changes that there have been in the country, the greater opportunities for younger people and women, the fact that you do not have the religious police walking around in saudi arabia. just a few years ago, you would be concerned if you are in a shopping mall or something, when the prayers ring out, that you have got to get out of that quickly, the religious police would come, how you were dressed, who you are with. there is not that sense, it seems like a more breathable, easier country. there is a general sense amongst many saudis that they do not want that turned around. again and again, although you imagine this is not a subject they want to get into deeply, whatever happens at the top, there is a sense that they want their way that things have been

going to continue. that is a sort of sense of confidence in the crown prince and we just have to wait and see if in the end the royal family decides that he's just too much of a liability. and now we are looking to washington over this more than anywhere else, it was ankara but now it is washington. if it becomes so much that his position is unsustainable. the cia were saying in this report that everything points to the fact that he ordered the killing of jamal khashoggi but they still believe that his position as heir to the throne and a key figure in saudi arabia is not under threat. they're meant to be quick and convenient, but could shopping at smaller stores owned by britain's best—known supermarket brands be costing us more? a survey carried out for the bbc‘s inside out programme found customers are paying much higher prices for exactly the same products

in smaller outlets compared to the larger supermarkets. jonathan gibson explains. more and more of us are shopping in convenience stores. they now account for a quarter of the grocery market. but are we paying over the odds in the small shops run by britain's biggest supermarkets? maggie, a birmingham pensioner, goes to tesco express twice a week. i think you would expect to pay a bit more. you buy quite a few bananas, don't you? well, a single banana in tesco express is going to cost you 14p more. for one? for one banana. my god! right, i know where i'll get my bananas from for now. and that's kind of got me thinking because if bananas cost so much more in tesco's convenience stores than they do in their own supermarkets, then do other things cost more as well? and what about tesco's rivals? the bbc compared the cost of 50

items in supermarkets run by tesco, sainsbury‘s, m&s and waitrose, with what they cost in the same chains' convenience stores. 39 of the 50 products we bought in tesco express cost more than they did in a tesco supermarket. while in sainsbury‘s local, little waitrose and m&s simply food, 45 of the 50 products cost more than in the larger stores. but by how much? there were big differences across fruit and veg, in toiletries, and store cupboard ingredients. this fajita kit, for example, costs 20% more in sainsbury‘s local than it does in the larger supermarket. overall our survey found that prices in little waitrose were on average just short of 5.5% more expensive while in sainsbury‘s local, tesco express and m&s simply foods, the average difference was between eight and 9%. in statements, the supermarkets told the bbc higher prices reflect

higher running costs. without commenting on any specific retailer, generally there's a lot more costs that go into maintaining and operating a store like this and that to a degree is why you see the price difference. as for maggie, she is now doing more of her shopping online. but will not stop using convenience stores completely. i think i'll still probably have to go for the odd banana. they might be dearer but they're also nearer and that's the cost of convenience. viewers in the west midlands can see more on this on inside out on bbc one tomorrow at 7.30pm. the programme will then be available on the bbc iplayer. the actorjohn bluthal has died at the age of 89. he was best known for playing the likable but dull parish council secretary frank pickle in the vicar of dibley. i need to hear a little bit for level, so tell us

what you had for breakfast. toast. i need a little bit more than that, so just make something up, let your imagination run wild. wild? great. two pieces of toast. its star dawn french paid tribute on social media, saying "cheeky, naughty, hilarious. bye darlin bluey." he also appeared in carry on films and worked regularly with spike milligan. next month world leaders meet in poland for the united nations yearly conference on climate change. now thousands of young people have found a rather unique way to make sure their message is heard, whilst trying to set a record for the world's biggest postcard. lebo diseko has more. on a glacier high up in the swiss alps, something unusual unfolds. 125,000 drawings and cards

from children all around the world, each with a message on climate change. they are put together to make one giant postcard which organisers say, at 2500 square metres, is the largest ever. next month, the governments of the world are going to get together in poland for the next conference of the parties on climate change. this is going to be the place where the actual plan of action to implement the paris agreement on climate change is going to be negotiated. we need ambition. we need ambition from every government that is going to be there. 1.5 celsius is a message that is hard to miss. that's what scientists say the limit for global warming needs to be if we want to keep the earth habitable. last month, a un report warned without drastic action, there will be even sharper temperature rises.

but with doubts over whether countries can even meet the 2 degrees cap agreed at the paris climate conference three years ago, activists are demanding global leaders do more. we expect acts. decision. and urgent actions. we are done with the talking, we don't want to wait any more. we want to do, we want to do this transition, we want to decarbonise the economy and the societies. in order to save the climate and all live on this planet in peace. the glacier this giant postcard was put together on is also significant. it is melting at an alarming speed. it could disappear altogether within the next 80 years. activists say it's just another example of the increasing threat posed by global warming.
