which asks the question ‘why the long face'. not sure that is an entirely appropriate but who am i to comment? it isa appropriate but who am i to comment? it is a serious issue. i know. right, we will get to that in a minute but before that, brexit. in many guises, the guardian is where we will began. strained relations in brussels it says as jean we will began. strained relations in brussels it says asjean claude juncker is rebuffed and an attempt to reopen the withdrawal deal yesterday or today. that picture they showed in the end and on and goes. the talks that never seem to never quite and. like at what has happened today, theresa may has managed to get the eu to agree to
10:46 pm
basically continue talks for another two weeks. we are not up against the clock, but yeah. she clearly had been told by her advisers and in the pictures she looks very gloomy and i think she overdid it a little bit. she looks like she is and a family funeral and it looks fairly miserable. she has gone there to reopen the withdrawal agreement and get rid of the backstop or tweak it and the joint statement after makes it clear that they will not reopen the withdrawal agreement but they will reconvene in a couple weeks' time to see where they are. they said many times that we are going to reopen negotiations so how much
10:47 pm
odyssey did they have? this feels a bit pointless to be honest and i do not think it pushed things any further forwards and i think she knew before it she set up, she knew the answer was. she knew that already but this was about fulfilling this amendment and for the wishes of parliament and in peace and there was at least consensus around getting some changes to the backstop which is what the brady amendment was about so what the brady amendment was about so she had to fulfil problem in's which is but i am sure it was a very difficult and awkward day for her and now she is back now. this potential lifeline, how much of this is going to be forjeremy corbyn because he said to be facing a labour revolt over brexit offer to the pm and they call it an olive branch but it is not going down well with his programming mps. and the
10:48 pm
evening standard, a bit of a split in the party sojeremy corbyn wrote a letter and said that he would consider backing theresa may's deal if she made five changes and some of those changes are huge and one of those changes are huge and one of thoseis those changes are huge and one of those is backing the customs union and staying with the single market. labour mps and staying with the single market. labourmps are unhappy and staying with the single market. labour mps are unhappy because they wa nt labour mps are unhappy because they wantjeremy labour mps are unhappy because they want jeremy corbyn to labour mps are unhappy because they wantjeremy corbyn to resist brexit outright and they cannot understand why he is even talking about going with theresa may's deal and some of them had said why would you try to facilitate a 20 brexit if you remember —— were a member of the labour party. they are so unhappy they are considering leaving the party after march which is what one labour mps party after march which is what one labourmps said party after march which is what one labour mps said today. people from all political persuasions voted leave. and but it remains. it will be pretty much a tory government that will be implementing brexit so,
10:49 pm
i think the crux of today as well was it appeared as though jeremy corbyn appeared to drop part of labour's policy that left the door open for the second referendum and we know that jeremy corbyn does not support a second referendum and it was conspicuous by its absence from the letter that they sent to theresa may so they had a situation today where the shadow brexit secretary had to come out and do a clip on the bbc and say that it is still on the table. they had a message on the website group to reemphasize that and try to calm them down but you get that feeling that things are reaching a breaking point. and it could be as soon as next week if jeremy corbyn does not support the second referendum some mps will
10:50 pm
resign as early as next week. he came out today and more or less said that they would join a new centrist party. that has been talked about for a long time and they have not actually got one off the ground. labour was sent an e—mail byjeremy corbyn, and it lays to every member of the labour party that said that the people plus ‘s that is still an option and sell on the table but it took all day for that to get out. lot of confusion. ft, plans hatched in secret to revive the economy after a no deal exit but we are told that the cabinet secretary is involved in organising this and this is called project after, not to be confused with other things... is called project after, not to be confused with other things. .. not to be confused with 28 days later which
10:51 pm
is about the zombie apocalypse. basically uncovering details about the planning and we are still no nearer a deal the planning and we are still no nearera deal in the planning and we are still no nearer a deal in parliament and a deal that has been passed and the government is obviously taking some contingency measures and it strikes me from reading this as basically blind panic and government. what they are trying to boost the economy. it is the doomsday list of economic levers. the pulled that the economy is about to take. why did they not get pulled when we are heading to recession if it is not easy? this is unprecedented, no-deal brexit potentially puts it into the
10:52 pm
com plete brexit potentially puts it into the complete spencer they are considering extremely radical measures which includes slashing ta riffs measures which includes slashing tariffs which does not make a huge amount of sense because we had warnings that slashing tariffs would bea warnings that slashing tariffs would be a particular bad idea from manufacturing. and if you slash them in one area they apply to every country. and imports become cheaper but it means that the industry and farming all ofa but it means that the industry and farming all of a sudden becomes much less competitive. so their products in the available industries will potentially really suffer and farmers have warned that 0% tariffs on imports but we would be flooded by cheap new zealand lamb and cheap american beef and products will become expensive. no easy answers
10:53 pm
are there? let's look at the telegraph, instagram boss, duty of ca re can save telegraph, instagram boss, duty of care can save lives. this is a campaign that the telegraph has mounted and they have the backing of the boss at instagram. he said that he is going to insure that in the next six months they will remove the graphic images of self harm from the platform. i think it is really good to see one of the huge tech giants come forward with something so important and seems to be taking itself so seriously because there has been so much criticism that young people are suffering effects of social media and it is someone who is actually coming out and doing something so instagram are going to come out and then graphic self—harm images and they accept that while instagram has done a lot of dead and connecting people, they have neglected their risks and there has
10:54 pm
been a high profile cases in the news recently of people who have suffered from the harmful effects of social media particularly in terms of mental health and also that if you are viewing images of self—harm it may encourage you to perhaps look at that even further. these images are so readily available to young people and it is wearing the access that people never had before so it is very good at that instagram is taking a read on this. there should be statutory and are pending, that is not necessarily what everyone agrees with, maybe not the right type of legislation. government has hinted at that, what the telegraph is calling for the deputy leader of the shadow cultural secretary, the government would institute a statutory duty of care so tech giants would be ensuring that young

and vulnerable users were not subjected to images which may harm their mental health. so they can also potentially do an awful lot of harm. metro, a cancellation of all racing in the country. a six-day shut down. because of equine fluid which i had to learn a little bit about today. apparently in terms are very similar to humans having colds, randy knows he's —— running noses and a cough and while they try to contain this contagious illness, it will be very costly thank it has not happened before and be big or any.

and the big concern is the festival coming up next month is a massive event and could be at risk unless the outbreak is contained. that is it for the papers for this hour. we will be back again at 11:30 p:m.. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you, 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers, and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you kevin schofield and kate proctor, and we'll be back for a longer look at the papers in the next hour. at next the weather. hello there and we are seeing quite a stormy spell of leather across the uk at the moment and say goodbye to one area of low pressure that brought wind gusts up to 79 mph of the next 2a hours and it is swinging over into denmark and our eyes are

on twice the next loop of cloud which is the next storm system, storm eric which is named by irish weather casters and the strong winds associated with the level will affect a larger portion of the uk and also had some heavy rain around as well and the first sign of that weather getting into western areas at the moment and will continue to push eastwards overnight and the rain always had this across the north and west and a little lighter at the time across eastern counties of england and it will be a mild night, temperatures no lower than 10 degrees in plymouth, mild but increasingly windy. a wendy stated the day on friday. some of the strongest ones are likely to blow and across northern island and scotla nd and across northern island and scotland where gus will reach 50—70 mph and strong enough to bring down some tree branches and disruption and transportation and speed restrictions across scottish bridges likely. temperature wise with the
10:58 pm
wind coming in from the south westerly direction, it is not particularly cold and temperatures between eight and 11 celsius mild for the time of year although perhaps not feeling quite as warm as those numbers would suggest on the count of strong winds. the winds will stay strong into the weekend as this area of low pressure is going to be slow moving. winds will get even stronger across scotland and northern england as guests get between 55 and 70 mph. some transport disruption and another concern is the amount of rain that will begin to mount up. could see 20-30 will begin to mount up. could see 20—30 mm and 60 over the mountains and bringing concerns of localised flooding. rain returning to the southern counties of england. heavy rain and allamounts southern counties of england. heavy rain and all amounts to a risk of some localised transport disruption. plenty of showers around and into

next looks like the weather becomes much more settled and dry. this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. the headlines at 11: the head of instagram pledges to "remove all graphic images of self harm" from the social media platform. i think we have an immense amount of responsibility. i think that it's clear that we are not yet where we need to be on the issues of self—harm and suicide. the body recovered from the wreckage of the plane that crashed in the channel over a fortnight ago has been formally identified as cardiff city footballer, emiliano sala. deadlock in brussels — theresa may holds talks with eu leaders and says she'll deliver brexit on time — but they say there's been no breakthrough. slowest economic growth for a decade — the bank of england downgrades its forecast and blames brexit uncertainty. police investigating the disappearance of university
