this is bbc news. i'm geeta guru—murthy. the headlines at eleven. boos as borisjohnson arrives in edinburgh for talks with nicola sturgeon — he says he'll work hard for a deal, she says his brexit approach is dangerous. we are very confident that there is goodwill on both sides, two mature political entities, the uk and the eu can get this thing done. this government and the path it is pursuing, ithink government and the path it is pursuing, i think is dangerous. a warning from vauxhall that it could move all its production from ellesemere port to southern europe if brexit hits profits from the plant. what's going on?! panic at food festival in california as a man opens fire killing 4 people including two children.

"informers will be shot," say signs in londonderry. three months afterjournalist lyra mckee was killed no—one has been charged with her murder. up to his neck in water — the dramatic resuce of a father who became trapped in the rocks on a norfolk beach. and at half past 11 we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers kevin schofield, the editor of politics home, and kate proctor, political correspondent for the london evening standard. stay with us for that. good evening. borisjohnson says he's "very confident" a new brexit deal can be reached, with the european union. speaking on his first visit to scotland as prime minister,

he said theresa may's withdrawal agreement was "dead," but there was scope for a new plan. however scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, after holding talks with mrjohnson, said she believed he was secretly pursuing a "dangerous" no—deal brexit, and warned it was now "almost inevitable" the uk will leave the eu, without a deal. here's our scotland editor, sarah smith. visiting a vanguard class nuclear submarine on the clyde, boris johnson wants the eu to know he is ready to go to battle to try and get a brand—new exit deal. he has ordered the turbocharging of no deal preparations but also seem to contradict cabinet colleagues who suggested that no deal is the likely outcome. michael gove says the government is working assumption has to be that there will be no deal. government is working assumption has to be that there will be no dealm that your assumption? absolutely not. my assumption is that we can get a new deal and we are aiming for

a new deal. michael is absolutely right that it is responsible for any government to prepare for no deal. we should go for a deal and there is every chance we can get a deal. with good will and with common sense, thatis good will and with common sense, that is what we will achieve. 50 that is what we will achieve. 50 that are the odds still 1 that is what we will achieve. 50 that are the odds still1 million to one that we live with no deal? provided there is sufficient goodwill and common sense on the pa rt goodwill and common sense on the part of our partners, that is exactly where i will put the odds. it may not sound like a warm welcome but this visit to scotland, coming to the first witness the's official residencejust to the first witness the's official residence just days after becoming prime minister was designed to demonstrate his commitment to the united kingdom. the borrowers johnson meeting nicola sturgeon face—to—face will not help them see either way over brexit. —— but boris johnson meeting nicola sturgeon. not even close. the first minister says

no deal brexit will be unconscionable and she was not convinced during the meeting that he can find convinced during the meeting that he canfind an convinced during the meeting that he can find an agreement. the government and the path it is pursuing is, ithink, dangerous. it became clear to me that this government, the new prime minister has said the uk on an almost inevitable path to a no deal brexit with the position it has taken. it makes it difficult to see how any deal could be struck with the eu and i think that would be catastrophic for scotland and the whole of the uk. the scottish tory leader clashed with mr bronson in the brexit debates during the debate three yea rs debates during the debate three years ago and they still do not agree on europe. she said she will not support no deal and told mr johnson that when they met today. not support no deal and told mr johnson that when they met todaylj said that i wanted to see the same level of energy and vigor that is going into no deal planning going into trying to get a deal. i want to see this sort of diplomacy required if we are to see changes brought back to the house of commons and i receive the assurances i was looking

for. mrjohnson has some fans in scotland. yet he found himself slipping out the back door after his meeting with nicola sturgeon. he wa nted meeting with nicola sturgeon. he wanted this visit to renew the ties that bind the united kingdom. the snp are confident it will actually increase the appetite for scottish independence. our political correspondent nick eardley has been following today's events in edinburgh. basically, borisjohnson basically, boris johnson is basically, borisjohnson is saying to the eu let's do a new deal. we wa nt to to the eu let's do a new deal. we want to solve this, take the backstop out and we can do business. he is also saying that if you do not do that, i will walk away. make no bones about it, the uk will leave at the end of october come what may. that is really concerning many people in scotland, not the least nicola sturgeon who lives in this building behind me. herargument after holding tasks with mrjohnson this afternoon was that she now thinks he is taking the uk almost inevitably on a course to no deal.

why? because the eu will not negotiate and he set a hard deadline of october 31. you may say she is one of his political opponents and of course you will say that. that is afair point of course you will say that. that is a fair point to what is interesting as well as that there is concern in the scottish conservative party about mrjohnson's strategy. ruth davidson has made clear to mr johnson she will not support him if he goes down that route. that means she could become one of those awkward tories shouting from the sidelines that they do not want to see the government take that policy on in see the government take that policy onina see the government take that policy on in a few weeks time. more conciliatory after that meeting, saying they agree they want to get a new deal to get something over the line and something through parliament but how many times have we heard that? earlier, i spoke to jonathan blake in westminster about the likelihood of a no deal brexit, given the mixed messages given out

by michael gove and borisjohnson. given the mixed messages given out by michael gove and boris johnsonlj think by michael gove and boris johnson.” think it is part of the same strategy. they may appear to be slightly at odds but when you look at the overall picture, one thing thatis at the overall picture, one thing that is distant is that any government minister you ask will say they do not want a no deal brexit and both michael gove in the sunday times yesterday and boris johnson today say it is their aim and intention to get a new brexit deal. that they are both clear that the withdrawal agreement negotiated by theresa may must go, particularly the back stop part of it and a new agreement must be reached. if that is not the case, however, the government is working on the assumption that it will not happen and that they must prepare for a no deal brexit. so was borisjohnson said today that it is not his assumption there will be a no deal brexit, he said that michael gove was absolutely right to prepare for that eventuality and that is what the government is doing. remember,

this is not just the government is doing. remember, this is notjust a case of believing that it this is notjust a case of believing thatitis this is notjust a case of believing that it is right to prepare the country for the eventuality of a no deal brexit in three months time but also a strategy and an attempt to convince the eu that the uk is willing and ready to do that in the hope they will decide to offer some concessions. that was jonathan lake there, our political correspondence. the chief executive of the firm that owns car maker vauxhall, says the company would shut its factory in cheshire, if brexit makes the site unprofitable. the one thousand workers at ellesmere port were told last month, that if a brexit deal was struck, the astra model would continue production. but the french owners now say, there are contingency plans to make the car elsewhere in europe. here's colletta smith. vauxhall, like much of the car industry, have been warning about the implications of a no—deal brexit for some time. but today's comments are the hardest punch yet. now the boss says they've a southern european plant in mind

to build the next generation of vauxhall astra, if brexit makes building them here at ellesmere port unprofitable. the new foreign secretary says businesses have already been given help to prepare. we are going to be stepping up that and reaching out to those sectors and businesses that do feel vulnerable and will be more affected. let's remember, the car sector has been affected by a range of other issues, including the diesel situation and demand in china. the industry is certainly under pressure. honda is closing its swindon site, ford are to close their bridgend plant and nissan are opting for more japanese production lines. it is a worrying time... jon's been an employee here all his working life. the lunacy of no brexit is a problem, if there's no deal, on tariffs etc, but we stand ready, we stand ready as a union to make sure we do everything we can to maintain volume car production at this plan. but it will be a tough fight.

car manufacturing is a competitive business. there is always a tussle for the next contract and everyone here on the wirral knows just how important those jobs are. it's the kids and that that i feel for, because they are our next generation and if there is nothing here for us, then what's here for them? you've got quite a few friends that are working in there at the moment? yeah, got a couple of friends working there. one is a paint sprayer and one works on the line. decisions taken a long way away will have a big impact here. my newsagent‘s, they tell me that they make a lot of sales from people travelling in to vauxhall in the morning on their shift. obviously, lots of people directly employed there, lots of people are employed in supply chain and associated industries, and it really is a symbol of ellesmere port. everyone associates vauxhall motors with ellesmere port. around 80% of the finished astras are shipped from here across the sea to europe, and that makes this merseyside workforce more vulnerable than most.

colletta smith, bbc news, at ellesmere port. the pound has fallen to its lowest value against the dollar for 28 months, after the government toughened its rhetoric on brexit. analysts have warned there could be further falls, as traders appear to be betting on a last—minute brexit deal being reached. let's get more on this with our reporter nina nanji. what is causing these falls? ever since the eu referendum, what we have seen is the value of the pound has moved up and down along with brexit headlines and under theresa may, the market for at the prospect ofa no may, the market for at the prospect of a no deal brexit was fairly unlikely to obviously much has changed under boris johnson unlikely to obviously much has changed under borisjohnson and what we have seen changed under borisjohnson and what we have seen over changed under borisjohnson and what we have seen over the last weekend in particular is something of a hardening of stands of the new government stands around brexit. so we had michael gove, now the

minister in charge of preparing for ano minister in charge of preparing for a no deal brexit scenario now saying that that is the current working assumption of the government. that was in the sunday times yesterday. today we had a slightly mixed message from boris johnson today we had a slightly mixed message from borisjohnson in scotla nd message from borisjohnson in scotland as we heard but he did say the existing withdrawal deal is dead and it's got to go and all of that is really spooked trailers and that is really spooked trailers and that is what we have seen today. so what we have seen today is the pound dropping to its lowest level in 2.5 yea rs dropping to its lowest level in 2.5 years so dropping to its lowest level in 2.5 years so it is a really significant drop there, down to $122. and actually, if you compare it to where we we re actually, if you compare it to where we were out at the time of the eu referendum it is significant because at that time it was close to $150. and in terms of what this will mean, it is the holiday season so many of us it is the holiday season so many of us travelling abroad and we really feel the value of the pound in our pocket don't we? and more broadly, for the economy. there are many different ways in which we see this

playing out. in terms of the economy it means more expensive imports and particularly we see that playing through things like oil and petrol prices. it also means cheaper exports. in theory that should be good for uk manufacturing but it does not necessarily always play out like that. analysts have warned, that many of them expect the pound will continue to weaken, particularly if we see this rhetoric ona no particularly if we see this rhetoric on a no deal brexit continue going forward. the business groups as well as we have heard, the cbi, for example, warned today that are no deal brexit could be damaging for the economy and saying they do not think the uk is prepared for this scenario. are all sorts of warnings coming out as the deadline, the new deadline of october 31 comes closer. and finally, holidaymakers, absolutely, if you plan a summer holiday and are waiting for this it could be disappointing... you should have gotte n could be disappointing... you should have gotten your currency earlier. yes. your pound will not buy you as

much in terms of dollars or euros. hindsight is a wonderful thing. three people — including a six—year—old boy — have been shot dead at a food festival in northern california. officers say 15 other people were wounded when a gunman cut through a fence and opened fire at the annual garlic festival in the small town of gilroy, about 30 miles south of sanjose. the attacker was also shot dead by armed officers who were on the scene in undera minute. dave lee reports from gilroy. what's going on?! the gunfire began at 5:41pm on sunday evening, as families were starting to head home. they're shooting! as the shots rang out, there was first confusion and then panic, and eventually disbelief. who'd shoot up a garlic festival? a food festival — one that obsessively celebrates the garlic grown here — was now the scene of the 246th mass shooting in america this year.

wejust heard pop, pop, pop and we just went behind some tents and took cover. and we knew right away when we saw a lot of people just running away from there. we thought it was a firecracker and then when i looked to the side, we knew it wasn't. we both turned at the same exact time and saw him standing right there. he was within, what, ten feet of us? yeah, he shot one shot. he was just going back and forth. and then he put the clip in and he started moving back and forth, walking towards our tent because that's where most of the people were in that area, and he just started shooting. six—year—old stephen romero is the first of the dead to be identified. his mother and grandmother were wounded. police said they took less than a minute to shoot dead the man once he opened fire, but even with that rapid response, the gunman was able to cause carnage. this is an active investigation. i would ask for the thoughts and prayers of the community as our gilroy police officers continue to investigate this tragic and senseless crime.

witnesses described the man as being white. local media have named a suspect but as yet police haven't confirmed his identity. around 80,000 people descend on this small city every year for this festival, but now it will become known as yet another instance of everyday american life being torn apart by senseless gun violence. dave lee, bbc news, in gilroy, california. the headlines on bbc news: some breaking news this our. it has been reported by an agency in brazil the police have decided not to charge the full caller neymar over a rape claim. he had always denied an accusation that he had attacked a woman in paris when he was playing for a french team and it has been

reported now that the police will not charge him. we will confirm that as soon not charge him. we will confirm that as soon as we can. we will confirm that as soon as we can. scotland's first minister accuses borisjohnson of a dangerous approach to brexit — he insists he'll work hard for a deal. a warning from vauxhall that it could move all its production from ellesemere port — if brexit hits profits from the plant. panic at food festival in california as a man opens fire killing four people including two children. the murder in april this year of the journalist lyra mckee, shot dead during rioting in northern ireland by the republican group, the new ira, sent shockwaves across the province. but no—one has yet been charged with her murder, and in londonderry where she was killed, tensions with paramilitaries remain. our ireland correspondent, emma vardy, has been back to the estate where lyra mckee died, and reports on the dissidents posing a threat to

the local community. in the area of derry known as the creggan, normality belies an undercurrent of violence. this mainly catholic housing estate remains one of northern ireland's last strongholds where banned irish nationalist groups or dissident republicans still hold some sway. that is saying to people, just you keep quiet and we'll do what we like here. since the death of lyra mckee, ira signs have appeared in the main street warning people not to speak to police. this one here says informers will be shot, with a picture of a rat on it. that actually is a very dehumanising poster. these people claim to be fighting for some form of human rights, where they treat people like animals if they don't agree with them. police believe the ira gunmen who shot lyra mckee was a teenager who was known locally. but warnings like these outside of schools make the threat to potential witnesses clear.

why can't they be taken down? who's going to take them down? fear creates a culture of silence. the school here and plenty of parents i've spoken to have told me they don't think there's anything that they can say publicly about these signs, and the sense you get is, as much as they don't want it, it's just something that has to be accepted. the new ira claims to be continuing a long standing armed struggle to end british rule in northern ireland. this year, the group has said it was behind for a bomb outside derry‘s courthouse, explosives sent in letters to train stations and airports across the uk, and a bomb found under a police officer's car in belfast. on friday, another dissident organisation tried to murder officers in craigavon, luring them towards a deadly booby trap. since lyra mckee's death, what police say are new ira's

political wing have launched a fresh drive to rally support. mirroring struggles past, this is saoradh taking part in a picket line supporting ira prisoners — many of whom have been jailed for acts of violence and possession of weapons and explosive. police say members of saoradh are also in the leadership of the new ira. your sign over here says, salute the men and women of violence, what does that mean, exactly? this is a pretty public demonstration. can you explain to people what you stand for? you put your posters up on the lamp post. one of their key messages in a new poster campaign is a call for a complete rejection of the police service of northern ireland, or psni, who they refer to as the crown forces. and to help with these campaigns, saoradh also recruit teenagers into its youth wing, eistigi.

your campaign encourages people to reject police, what exactly are you calling for? do you support violence against authorities? put it down. our camera is pushed away. bleep. neighbourhood officers in derry face a constant threat. so how do you police a community then where there is an active campaign to destroy any trust in policing? we're basically trying to get people to understand that we're doing a job, we're there to help them without any favour. we are independent. we do our best, get out and speak to them, speak to them on their normal terms. let them see that we're willing to engage with them and we are open and willing to help. officers normally patrol the creggan in armoured land rovers but we accompany them for their first patrols on bikes.

that's all a show, it doesn't happen. it attracts attention. but the team say they want to do more face—to—face patrols in future. during the 30—year conflict in northern ireland known as the troubles, derry saw some of the worst of the violence, between the british army, pa ramilitaries and police. today those historical tensions live on. the troubles began here in this city in ‘68, and they've never really gone away. there is some support for that message, then, you think? there is in derry, yeah. there would be. but the most extreme views of violent dissidents are opposed by the vast majority of those who live here. these groups need to know that they are not representing the people of this town when they're putting up posters like that and speaking like that. some community workers who say they cannot appear on camera have told us that behind the scenes there are negotiations taking place with the people

responsible for the signs to try to get them removed. but so far, with little success. and neither the council or police show any sign of taking them down. paramilitaries cast a shadow here that many believe only the community of creggan can resolve within itself. emma vardy, bbc news, derry. let's take a look at some of the day's other stories: an investigation into the tory mp mark field, has been dropped, after he lost his ministerialjob in borisjohnson's cabinet reshuffle. mr field had been suspended as a foreign office minister, after grabbing a greenpeace protestor by the neck, at last month's mansion house dinner. downing street says borisjohnson viewed the issue, as "a matter for the previous prime minister". the media regulator, ofcom, has announced new rules to ensure participants in tv and radio shows are "properly looked after". it follows the deaths of two former contestants on love island,

and a man who took part in thejeremy kyle show. a man who filmed a cardboard model of grenfell tower being placed on a bonfire, says it was a "stupid moment". paul bussetti, in the grey suit, told westminster magistrates he has "no idea" why he put the footage on social media. he denies charges of sharing grossly offensive material, and causing the upload of ‘menacing footage'. public health england is due to release its first comprehensive analysis, on patients with opioid addiction. the report will consider both over the counter and prescription medicines such as morphine, fentanyl and codeine, and has been described as a "wake up call," on the extent of the problem. our health editor hugh pym, has been speaking to two women, who have battled with addiction. i was in a lot of pain. the pain started in my spine, and i was put on my first lot of opioids. overtime, i knewi was addicted to them. and they knew i was

addicted to them. sherry‘s been on and off opioid painkillers for more than 20 years. till recently, she struggled to even leave the house. it kept me trapped, really. i didn't have a life, so — i'm sorry, but... i couldn't have... yeah, i just didn't think i could live it. how you coming off your medications... thanks to counselling, sherry has managed to cut her daily dosage by two thirds. at this centre in bradford, helping combat opioid addiction is a daily challenge. it builds up really slowly. it's sort of a gradual thing. and then before you know it, people are being prescribed for 20, a0 years, and their lives are a bit of a blur. bradford isjust one community where answers are being urgently sought. why are patients prescribed opioids for so long, and what can be done about it?

gps have difficult decisions to make as they deal with patients in pain and address the underlying health issues. this expert in the field is helping them consider alternatives. she says opioids rarely work. fewer than one out of ten people who are taking them for pain will actually experience a reduction in pain. so that means it's a medicine that is not helping, but a medicine that is causing many harms. nikki is now a counsellor with an addiction charity. she first took opioid painkillers after a knee operation. but it was only years later that she realised she was addicted. thought, you know, an addict would be someone that was just in a street alley, using heroin. i didn't think that i could have been a drug addict. i mean, there were people that were addicted to alcohol, and heroin, and thatjust wasn't me. you know, i'm a middle—class

mum that had a family, a nice house, a nice car, and was still working. there is nothing here yet on the scale of the north american crisis. but a recent report said the uk was seeing one of the fastest increases in opioid availability of any leading health system. sherry hopes her experience, at least, can inspire others caught up in addiction. i want to come off of it completely. i can't wait until i'm off of it completely. just to see what sort of a person i'm going to be. i can't wait now. sherry flatt ending that report by hugh pym. and if you've been affected by any themes in the report you can get more information on bbc actionline. at least 52 people have been killed in a prison riot in brazil. rival gangs battled for five hours and part of the prison was set on fire. two prison officers who were taken

hostage have now been freed. a man had to be rescued from a beach in norfolk last night after his leg became wedged between rocks while the tide was in. he was stuck for nearly three hours — at one point submerged up to his neck. our correspondent robbie west reports. the moment the emergency services rescued a man who was trapped between the rocks on the north norfolk coast. the tide was in and they worked quickly to keep his head above the water. sheringham's lifeguard was the first on the scene. the patient had his foot wedged down in between the rock and the structure here. when i arrived on the scene, he was getting hammered by pretty severe tidal waves and so i basically came in with a rescue tube to wedge it between him and the rock and then sheltered him with my body when the waves were impacting.

the man and his family were on the steps here when a wave came over. he stepped in front of his children to protect them and he was knocked onto the boulders that are right here below us where he got his foot caught. after more than three hours in the water, fire crews had to use brute force to free him. so when we pulled up, the tide was probably at its highest. you couldn't break nothing. there's been reports but you couldn't break nothing because it's granite, it's too hard. we did consider it, but the best way was, we got lucky, the tide went out, we got lucky. the man was treated for minor injuries in hospital. some of his family, who i spoke to earlier, said they wanted to thank everybody that was involved in the rescue. robbie west, bbc news, sheringham. now have you heard this song? old town road plays. this is the infectious country—rap smash old town road which has broken the record for longest reign over

the us singles chart. it's topped the chart for 17 weeks. the viral mega—hit that mashes banjo twangs with thumping bass from previously unknown artist lil nas x broke the previous record held by one sweet day by mariah carey and the 2017 latin juggernaut despacito. how long can it stay at the top? we will see. now it's time for the weather with alina jenkins. we think we're getting the weather... i can tell you it has very hot with a lot of rain and it has been wide sunny here in melbourne. let's see if we can get you a more detailed look at the weather. —— here in london. this week our focus is on potentially heavy and fun very rain tied in with low pressure. a driving force behind our weather. notice how the isobars
