you're watching beyond one hundred days... if we don't change our diets soon, we risk creating food deserts and mass hunger. an alarming new un report says man's over use of land and water means humanity may not be able to feed itself. climate change increases the threat as floods and droughts degrade our land. so, eat more vegetables less meat. the americans and taliban are talking peace — after 18 years of war in afghanistan we'll find out if any sort of truce can hold. also on the programme... it's done, it's over, the football transfer window is shut. time for celebration, recriminations, and finally some football.

and if your timeline is not full of football transfer rumours then it may well be full of cats, because today is international cat day. hello and welcome. i'm katty kay in washington, christian fraser is in london. you don't have to become vegan, or even vegetarian to save the planet, but you do have to eat less meat. and you have to do it now. that's the broad recommendation of a big new un report on land and water resources. basically if humanity doesn't start farming less intensively we won't be able to carry on feeding ourselves. already more than 10% of the world's population is undernourished. soil is being lost faster than it's forming and the number of food deserts is growing. climate change, with its increase in droughts and floods and storms, is only putting more pressure on our land and water resources. but if we change our diets now, we can help to tackle climate change.

here's our science editor david shukman. a wall of dust smothers the parched fields of oklahoma. the planet is heating up, which may make it harder to grow the food we need, just as the world's population keeps increasing. there'll be two billion more of us by the middle of the century. and at the same time, up to a third of all food is wasted. and as it rots, it releases gases that raise temperatures even more. and this exacerbates climate change... the un climate panel highlights these challenges in a major new report into how we're damaging the land we depend on — and what that means for the future. we see very high risks, and that becomes incredibly scary not just for the public, but for us as individuals and scientists, and the question is, what can we do to avoid those risks and build a betterfuture? the first step, the scientists say, would be to see an end to clearing forests like the amazon.

as we reported last month, the trees store huge amounts of carbon, but they're being felled to make way for cattle. and because the animals generate a lot of methane, a warming gas, the report says that eating less meat and more plants would really help. so what we choose to put an our plate helps define what the carbon footprint on the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, so that choice between broccoli and ribs on your plate actually has a real link to the level of global warming that we're likely to see. the report suggest that we have to come up with clever new ways of producing food of using land if we're to have any chance of avoiding the most dangerous impacts of climate change. and it's very clear that switching to renewables on their own won't be enough. at this research farm in the netherlands, a glimpse of a possible future — with a robot working a field.

this is the view from the machine, spotting weeds in the crop. and planting everything in strips limits the spread of pests and the need to spray. up the road, a dairy farm that's floating in rotterdam. cows produce milk where consumers live, cutting the need for transport. the same in nigeria — this food is grown in the city where it's eaten. and in tokyo, a paddy field on a rooftop. urban farming can be more environmentally friendly. the teenage campaigner greta thunberg was in geneva to thank the climate scientists. she says she's a vegan and that attitudes depend on age. it feels like many older people feel like, "why should i care about this?" "this is not going to affect me as much." but young people feel more like it is going to affect them. wind tears away precious soil

from the fields of norfolk. the more the land is degraded, the less it can absorb carbon from the air, and the more temperatures will rise. david shukman, bbc news, in geneva. kiri hanks, a climate policy adviser for oxfam, is here in the studio. in some of these areas of the world where they are struggling to grow food, what has been the impact? devastating. with every fraction of a degree of warming, it makes it more difficult to grow food. it is poorer communities who live off the land who are worst affected despite them having not caused to the problem. the ipcc is warning that soil is becoming drier and less productive and this leads to

increases in food prices and we see with climate change as well that it is also causing more extreme weather, monster storms, is also causing more extreme weather, monsterstorms, haywire growing seasonings, leaving farmers guessing. there is a terrible imbalance. up to 30% of food globally is wasted, and wasted in the developed world. i would imagine in areas where it is harder to grow things they do not waste much at all. how do we change what we do in the west in the way that we farm? we need to make really big changes in how we farm because at the moment oui’ how we farm because at the moment our current industrialised agricultural system is actually driving climate change. it is destroying forests, pushing people off of their land and it is actually feeling the 820 million people in the world who go to bed hungry every night. this report shows some of the

alternatives which government, how governments can make better choices in how they manage their land, aiming forzero in how they manage their land, aiming for zero hunger and a zero emissions, things like investing in ecological ways to farming which improve soil health. oxfam works with small scale farmers in many countries to help them innovate and change the way they farm and it actually benefits them as well. firstly healthier soil locks and more carbon but also it means they are more productive and so it puts more money into small farmers' pockets. what will the impact of land overuse mean for migration patterns? droughts have helped push migrants from central america into north america. could that be a way to get the attention of people in

developed countries? yes, we are already seeing that farmers are being uprooted by climate change and forced to move. that is just one of a range of impacts but i think policymakers in developed countries need to acknowledge that the way we farm at the moment is not fit for purpose and so we need to make sweeping changes and governments need to invest in the future. the aviation industry is one of the largest contributors to climate change, currently accounting for 2% global co2 emissions. but a new study suggests that climate change could turn air travel into a victim of its own success. researchers found that rising temperatures could be increasing in—flight turbulence.

as temperature patterns change scientists say it's impossible for wind flows to maintain their balance. and between 1979 and 2017 they identified a 15% increase in vertical shear — a cause of turbulence — consistent with what would be expected from climate change. you get different levels of wind speeds at different heights and if they changed dramatically then you getair imbalance they changed dramatically then you get air imbalance between them and turbulence and what that will effectively mean is that pilots are going to try to go around it, so it will cost more in terms of fuel, ta ke will cost more in terms of fuel, take longer to get to destinations, andi take longer to get to destinations, and i would imagine a lot of people will say it is the air industry that needs to solve that problem because a p pa re ntly needs to solve that problem because apparently this year we are going to travel, globally, around 5 trillion miles, 8 trillion kilometres, so the air industry is getting bigger but they haven't found a solution to the

pollution they are putting into the environment. a p pa re ntly environment. apparently there are electric solutions on the horizon for short—haulflights solutions on the horizon for short—haul flights of under an hour. long haulflights short—haul flights of under an hour. long haul flights produce short—haul flights of under an hour. long haulflights produce the most carbon emissions and where we are seeing the increase in turbulence. at the end of another highly divisive week in us political life, you might expect president trump to be on the back foot. but actually mr trump's personal favourability rating has increased by about 10 percentage points among registered voters since the last election. millions of voters who say they didn't like him in 2016 now say they do. so what do we take away from that? let's speak to niall stanage, white house columnist at the hill. good to have you with us. a lot of people will have watched the events this week and the partisan nature of the debate around these shootings and think that the popularity of the present must be sinking but in fact the polls suggest the opposite is

true. over the course of his presidency, the ten point rise has taken place. we haven't quite seen the likely effects of this controversy but it is certainly true that despite the controversy at the nature of his presidency, donald trump's approval ratings often appear surprisingly static and my interpretation is that people have largely made their mind up one way 01’ largely made their mind up one way or another. to a large proportion of the population he is a divisive and frankly racist figure and other people see him as unfairly maligned by political opponents and large swathes of the media. this week has been a case in point of the present‘s divisiveness. he said at the beginning of the week that he felt his policies brought people together and yet we saw him in el paso, texas last night talking politics, disparaging democrats, evenin politics, disparaging democrats, even ina politics, disparaging democrats, even in a situation where most presidents would not do that. but

perhaps that is a winning strategy for him. maybe there is no point in him reaching out to the middle, he just has to keep rallying his base evenin just has to keep rallying his base even in this circumstance. just has to keep rallying his base even in this circumstancelj just has to keep rallying his base even in this circumstance. i think thatis even in this circumstance. i think that is the argument some people close to him believe it to be the case. i don't think the president has really displayed any sustained interest in reaching out to the centre at any point during his presidency. his approach politically seems to be to replicate what happened in 2016. he ran a very polarising campaign. a large number of people in our business thought he would be defeated. this approach at a moment of national tragedy is unlike anything we have seen before. presidents generally try to play the role of consoling. he did that fleetingly before returning to his

more acerbic and confrontational style. what about the way he handled this week, could it damage him? we haven't seen the packed in polling for this particular week but could people look up this week and say where was that figure we are used to having, whether it was president bush, clinton, 0bama, turning up at these events and speaking in a different way? i don't think there will be a donald trump collapse. there seems to be a significant amount of the population who are behind him come what may but when we talk about polarisation we cannot ignore that there are some voters are still in the centre ground, some moderate trump supporters, so well they eventually be turned off either by the specific events of this week are bya by the specific events of this week are by a sense that there trump presidency is so polarising and involves so many controversies, will

the ultimately tire of this reality show presidency? i think that is a danger. there is a recent poll saying that 51% of americans consider the president a racist. that is an extraordinary statistics for any president. thank you for joining us. it has been an extraordinary week in american politics. but people move on from things so quickly, even from awful things so quickly, even from awful things like this. the peace talks between the taliban and the united states could be inching towards a resolution — albeit a tentative one. july was the deadliest month in afghanistan for some time, with 1,500 civilians killed or wounded. in fact yesterday, as the two sides were resuming discussions in doha, an enormous truck bomb went of in western kabul killing at least 1a people and injuring over 100.

the us chief negotiator, zalmay khalilzad, thinks they can get to some sort of an agreement before the afghan elections, on september 28th. the tricky part is getting the taliban to talk with the afghan government. the taliban has already called for a boycott of the elections. right now 52% of the afghan population live in areas under taliban control or where control is contested. they have anything between 30,000 and 100,000 taliban fighters. here to look at this, i'm joined by our chief international correspondent, lyse doucet. you look at that truck bomb yesterday and the appalling nature of it in weston campbell and the love of afg ha ns of it in weston campbell and the love of afghans will have to be convinced they are serious about peace. —— western kabul.

convinced they are serious about peace. -- western kabul. there is anger that the taliban is talking about peace in far—away doha but killing them at home. afghans are desperate for a ceasefire but we understand that in these negotiations between the us and the taliban, the ceasefire is not on the agenda and will only be on the agenda and will only be on the agenda as part of an afghan peace deal and not discussions with the us. we are discussing the last details for the peace agreement, and when they are concluded. so the peace deal as there, it is done. but you have no major objections now to the agreement as it stands now? no, all the points we discussed and we agreed upon during

the past rounds of talks. so i already said it, we have done about 80% of the agreement. so that is the message we see from the taliban, the same we heard from the taliban, the same we heard from the chief american negotiator, zalmay khalilzad. shortly after the holy festival of zalmay khalilzad, we expect more. the deal will be a phased withdrawal of troops, a guarantee that the taliban areas will not be a safe haven for terrorists, opening of talks with

afg ha ns, terrorists, opening of talks with afghans, the government, including a ceasefire. well, 18 years on from the start of the war, the conflict is still costing the united states around $115 billion annually. and if this peace deal is agreed it's thought america would initially draw down some 5,000 to 6,000, of the 111,000 troops still in afghanistan. and in return the taliban will sever ties to transnational terrorist groups like al-qaeda, while ensuring that afghan soil is not used to mount future attacks. here to discuss the what this negotion means for the us is brian katulis from the center for american progress. is this a peace deal or withdrawal agreement for american forces? what i heard so far makes it sound like it isa i heard so far makes it sound like it is a phased withdrawal agreement. a true peace agreement would try to

boost the strength and capacity of the afghan government but the afghan government has complained it has not been into the talks going on right 110w. been into the talks going on right now. that is supposed to happen in a later phase. to me, the debate here in washington, when we talk about afghanistan, it is often focused on when the troops are coming home rather than are we doing the things to set the conditions for peace so that the war truly ends and that is the deeper discussion. that the war truly ends and that is the deeper discussionlj that the war truly ends and that is the deeper discussion. i was struck in the democratic presidential debates that there wasn't talk of foreign policy but they were asked whether they would withdraw american forces from afghanistan in their first year of office and several said yes stop what signal does that send to the people trying to negotiate? it sends the signal we are going to leave by a date certain and it doesn't necessarily send the right signal to those in afghanistan, especially those who wa nt

afghanistan, especially those who want peace and stability. it also sends a potentially dangerous message to terrorist groups because details about whether we can do counterterrorist measures, that is another important message to be sent. we have done some polling on us attitudes on afghanistan and it is divided. many people want to end the war but there is still a lingering concern about terrorism and of the threats posed by places like afghanistan so it is not like it was in iraq ten years ago where people wanted out. there is more ambivalence and yet we have candidates who i think ijust echoing what donald trump is saying that we are going to get out. there are things which strike me as very difficult even if you could get to a ceasefire. you now have an islamic state in afghanistan so how do you interpret who might have breached the ceasefire? the other thing is if you are drawing down us troops you have less drones and special forces

to detect and find terrorists who could be in the country. u nfortu nately could be in the country. unfortunately in policy and political debates we have in america today people aren't paying attention today people aren't paying attention to those details are when those questions are brought up i think they are just questions are brought up i think they arejust vague questions are brought up i think they are just vague answers to it and the issue here in america is one of distraction. we have our own problems to deal with, and exhaustion, that we have been in that country for 18 years and people really wa nts that country for 18 years and people really wants to come up with any argument to say we are going to end the war and slap that label on it, ending endless war, but to the conditions for peace don't look all that great right now in afghanistan. it will be difficult to get to the taliban to talk to an afghan government that the taliban sees as a puppet government. but the other thing is the role of pakistan, i don't know what role they play in the peace talks but they have

provided succour for the taliban and funded the taliban in the past. they have played a role in afghanistan for yea rs have played a role in afghanistan for years and sponsored groups conducting terrorist attacks against civilians. 0ne conducting terrorist attacks against civilians. one would hope pakistan would play a more constructive role than they have but as we see in the last few days, their focus has shifted to kashmir and the challenges of what they see as their main threat, india in the other direction. thank you. interesting to hear. the russian government says two specialists have been killed and six other people injured in an explosion at a naval testing facility. officials said the blast happened during testing in the archangelsk region. the explosion occurred during testing of a rocket engine and, according to officials, it did not release harmful materials or radiation. hollywood actor danny trejo has been hailed as a real—life hero

for helping to rescue a baby trapped in an overturned car following a traffic accident in los angeles. the actor said he had seen a motorist drive through a red light and crash into another car, which flipped onto its roof with a woman and baby inside. the machete star then rescued the baby with the help of a female bystander. a giant parrot which was one metre tall, is that an artist impression? a p pa re ntly tall, is that an artist impression? apparently it was flightless and carnivorous. unlike most birds today. a 6.0 magnitude earthquake has struck the north—eastern coast of taiwan. the quake cut the power in around 2,000 buildings. it takes quite a jolt

to wake up sleeping cats — some of them even changed baskets. but thankfully there are no immediate reports of destruction or injuries. which takes us rather neatly to our next story. we are marking international cat day, when the internet goes crazy for cats, which it seems to me it does most days anyway, but today in particular you will find a large mixture of feline memes, grumpy cats, cats vs cucumbers. yes, that is a thing. i had no idea. i am guessing they think it's a snake? rather than an awkward salad item? maybe they just got the maybe theyjust got the message about becoming vegan. a day like today would be not complete without reference to the most famous cat of them all, which is of course larry,

the number ten chief mouser. who is now onto his third prime minister. next door, lives the number 11 cat palmerston. and it would seem, they then circle each other, much like incoming and outgoing prime ministers. larry, of course is no great respecter of reputation. not even if you are a us president, whose transport, the beast, we discovered was not entirely cat proof. do you have cats? yes, two cats, one dog and four children. the black and white one is grumpy. the grey one is elegant and gets on with the dog. i like having cats. harmony in my household. a very rare moment. very rare moment. i read that the sleep 70% of the

day, which sounds quite familiar. this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news... us immigration officials have arrested almost 700 people after a series of raids in the state of mississippi. we'll get the latest. if you're travelling over the next couple of days or you are planning to head to any outdoor events, you are going to want to stay in touch with the weather forecast because it looks very turbulent indeed. heavy rain at times but also some unseasonably strong winds. it is all because of this beautiful swirl of cloud here on our recent satellite image. this is the sort of satellite picture we would expect to see in the autumn or winter, not really in the summer. but here it is, an area of low pressure which is heading in our direction. the first effects we will feel is the heavy rain pushing north as we go through the rest of the evening and into the early hours of friday. the rain moving across england, wales, northern ireland and getting into southern scotland by the end

of the night. so a really messy rush hour in edinburgh and glasgow — heavy and persistent rain. to the north of that, a largely dry start to the day. the winds will be picking up, though. some of that rain perhaps clinging on to northern ireland and north—east england as we go through the morning. and then behind that rain band down to the south, yes, we see some spells of sunshine, but you can see all these splodges on the chart, a scattering of heavy, thundery, squally downpours which will continue to race in from the south—west as we go through the day. so this band of persistent rain pushes north across scotland as we go into the afternoon, and then we see that mixture of sunny spells and heavy, thundery, squally showers, really gusty winds. the wind becoming an increasing feature of the weather through the afternoon. we could see gusts of 50 mph or more across the far south—west. those temperatures — 15 celsius for aberdeen, 25 for hull and london. as we move out of friday and into saturday, this area of low pressure firmly in control of the weather and,

on its southern flank particularly, all those white lines, those isobars are squashing together. saturday is going to be an extremely windy day across england and wales. inland spots seeing gusts of 50 mph or more. around the coast, maybe 60 mph or more. that could well cause some problems for outdoor events and also for travelling. and there will also be some really heavy thundery downpours for central and northern portions of the uk. on sunday, things slightly calm down. we see a band of showery rain pushing south—east. there will be some sunshine as well. the winds will be lighter but they'll be coming from the north—west so it is going to feel very cool indeed, particularly in the north.

this is beyond 100 days, with me, katty kay, in washington. christian fraser is in london. our top stories: the united nations says need to eat less meat to help tackle climate change as intensive farming is having a growing impact on the planet. the americans and the taliban and a talking piece after 18 yea rs of taliban and a talking piece after 18 years of war in afghanistan. we will find out if any sort of truce can hold. coming up in the next half hour... this bread is the ultimate secret recipe. we'll explain how if was made with ancient egyptian yeasts. and 50 years ago today, this picture was taken. the london landmark is still a must—see site for beatles and music lovers.

president trump appears to be putting himself at odds with the powerful national rifle association. leaving to visit the sites of america's latest mass shootings in ohio and texas, mr trump reiterated his support for some form of gun control legislation. iam i am looking to do background checks. i think background checks are important. i don't want to put guns into the hands of mentally u nsta ble guns into the hands of mentally unstable people or people with rage or hate, sick people. i all in favour of it. and he faces pushback from the gun lobby. earlier this week, the nra reportedly called the president to say his support for background checks wouldn't go down well with his conservative base. after the parkland school shooting in 2018, mr trump also voiced support for tighter gun controls, then he backed down when the nra told him they didn't like the idea.

but now the nra itself is weakened by declining membership and a leadership struggle, so maybe its hold over us politics is weakened. joining us now from san francisco is democratic congresswoman jackie speier. thank you forjoining us. do you think there is a chance now after these two shootings that america will enact some kind of gun control legislation? we have to act. i think this is a tipping point. i worry though that the president is going to heed the call from wayne lapierre who exhibited $30 million to his presidency. he is all about his base if his base is going to erode, i don't know that we are going to get the background check bill that really has bipartisan support and is quite conservative and it'sjust closing loopholes that exist in law or right now where background checks

are supposed to happen for any gun thatis are supposed to happen for any gun that is purchased by someone. and if you are a felon or have a vested violence history or someone who is deemed mentally defective, you are not allowed to have a gun. —— domestic violence history. you are a cumbersome and from california and you i believe have an f rating with a nra. no fan of the gun industry. what kind of pressure enough to nra beyond money it spends, like 1.6 million in the first half of the year, what kind of money does the nra put all members of congress to try and toe the party line and not support gun control legislation?” think for the most part it is money. it is the campaign attributions was that they can shoot it about $50 million in the 2018 elections for republican members. i am a victim of gun violence, having been shot five times back in 1978. so this is very personal for me. i worry that we

have so numbed ourselves to the fact that we have one mass shooting after another, some 250 in the us this year, that we throw up our hands and say we cannot do anything. we have to do something. there are two separate debates here. there is gun control and there is the separate issue of white nationalism and white super missy. reporting today that over a year, the white house has ignored attempts by the department for homeland security to make combating domestic terrorism a priority. does that surprise you? of course it surprises me. but i think there is three nisha now that the enemy is here at home. that we need to spend our time and the fbi's energy in being able to follow up on end leads they get that are attributed to what we would call domestic terrorism. what they have the powers now? they don't have

enough resources. we spoke to the director yesterday and he needs more resources. they get hundreds of thousands of tips and they are not able to necessarily follow up on all of them. i wasjust able to necessarily follow up on all of them. i was just wondering if in this moment, and i have always said if they did not do something after newtown, the chances seem minimal but it is true that the nra is on the organisation it was back in 2014. it has been diminished somewhat recently and i'm just wondering whether it still has a kind of political clout it did. that's a good question. i don't know they have the same interest in their membership certainly. they have seen a decrease there. there are more members in mums demand action now than in the nra in the us. they have also been subject to a lot of criticism because there has been a lot of corruption in the

organisation. buying a mansion fort wayne lapierre, clothing and the like. people are somewhat discouraged by that organisation. but they still have a lot of clout with members of congress. and i think people in their districts are going to have to demand action from their members of congress might turner, republican who has gotten an a rating from the nra for decades, finally has flipped because his daughter was in a bar across the street. i hope we don't have to only ta ke street. i hope we don't have to only take action when we have one of our own children impacted by. ok, thank you very much, councilman. —— congresswoman. two fitness companies here in the us are facing a public backlash because the chair of the company that owns them is hosting a very pricey fundraising event for donald trump. the person at the centre is stephen ross, the owner of the miami dolphins and an investor in equinox gyms and soulecle.

he says he's known donald trump for 40 years. it costs $100,000 for a tickets to lunch in mr ross's home, and that comes with a photo opportunity with the president. for $250,000, you would get a seat at a roundtable discussion with donald trump. we're joined now by michelle fleury from new york. she is outside one of the equinox gym. 0f she is outside one of the equinox gym. of this story tells you that corporate america cannot stand above the fray of american politics, they are deeply involved in it. that is right. ceos across america watching this closely and figuring out how they should and should not behave going forward because while americans cannot vote for the next president until 2020, they can certainly vote with their pocketbooks and that is what they are being asked to do now with this call for a boycott of the gym behind me and also the other one, which is

both basically count stephen ross as an investor. the management of both of these places have tried to distance themselves saying that stephen ross, who is hosting this fundraiser, is only a passive investor and is not involved in day—to—day management of the blood does not seem to be washing people and infect someone came up to us and said they will already cancel my membership because of this. does that not then mean that all online boycott movement, the president can just cancel the fundraising parties but still get the donations from wealthy donors like this?” but still get the donations from wealthy donors like this? i mean i think this is the question. you have stephen ross come of this very well—known real estate developer, investor in these fitness companies and he said he has known donald trump for 40 years and supports leadership when it comes to issues on the economy but also cares deeply about things like racial diversity, lg btq about things like racial diversity, lgbtq issues, about things like racial diversity, lg btq issues, which about things like racial diversity, lgbtq issues, which is something this bread behind me has advertised

a lot about. the problem is the public sees this as two things that are incompatible. you cannot take one thing and ignore the other. and thatis one thing and ignore the other. and that is why they are boycotting this. the fear though is that will push donors like stephen ross to cancel as you say fundraisers but sort of move into what people refer to as kind of hidden pools of money will they write a check but will not make it known publicly that they are supporting these candidates. but if the sort of bigger political concern. but certainly right now, he is exercising his first amendment, sticking to his gun in the fundraiser is supposed to go—ahead tomorrow. to point out quickly that while we are here, within the snow posted around, ever enterprising, arrival atjim saying this friday we are not doing anything in southampton, come work out with us for free. touche. i like it. only in america. seize the opportunity.

thank you very much. we spoke to a congressman earlier this week and he has got into trouble for posting online the names of donald trump donors in his district intestate —— ta kes donors in his district intestate —— takes it. private donald trump donors and he got a lot of pushback saying he was putting them at rentals up but these names generally are public record. i saw an interview with him this morning and he said people are looking —— innate majority hispanic city and make their money and he runs an advert nationally saying hispanics are invading the country and he says it is lamentable that they are supporting him. but as you say, quite a backlash to that. so political, and indication how political, and indication how political and tense or fraught the whole thing has become. us immigration officials have arrested almost 700 people after a series of raids in the state of mississippi. the co—ordinated operations targeted workers at seven agricultural processing plants who allegedly did not have proper documentation. videos and photos showed agents arriving in buses to question

and arrest the people, as well as children separated from their parents. the bbc‘s chris buckler has been following the story for us and joins me now. ice also reporting on this and i think one of the things is they went in and put people onto buses but the people had it children in schools, at home and did not know what was going on. you can imagine the reaction to all of these children being seen on tv and in some cases talking about the fact they arrived back from school to find their pa rents back from school to find their parents not there and not knowing what to do. and actually some children were gathered up and dig into a gym and in some cases, friends and relatives came by to look after them while their parents we re look after them while their parents were being questioned by the immigration and customs enforcement agents. they have been released in a statement today that's around half

of those who were initially detained have been released but there is still outrage in the area about these rates because there is this feeling that it was targeted and there was no consideration given to there was no consideration given to the families. how unusual is this in the families. how unusual is this in the context of other american presidencies? ice'sjobs the context of other american presidencies? ice's jobs is the context of other american presidencies? ice'sjobs is to enforce customs regulations. ice was set up in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. through the george w. bush and barack 0bama administration, you could argue its capacity to apprehend and deport migrants has increased in that time but there was a big difference in the 0bama administration in the focus was different slightly. for exam, in terms of ransom they were much more targeted and you could argue that donald trump has admitted that. for example, in rays, they set out to find people and somebody slipped up in that rate during the time, somebody who may have been there who

then checked documentation and found they also did not have the documents, the argument then was they are not somebody to be concerned about at this stage. the focus in the 0bama administration was on felons, not families as they said. president trump's tweets have a that complete. he says he wants to deport the millions who are here illegally, no matter whether they have committed another crime. as far as these concern, they have admitted to crime byjust being here. thank you very much for coming in. these rates being happening while the hispanic unity being targeted in texas. this is beyond 100 days. still to come, big money is spent on football's transfer deadline day. we'll be finding out who's gone where. the prime minister has warned mps to get on and deliver brexit by the end of october, and he called on the eu to "show common sense" and compromise on a brexit deal, suggesting there was still "bags of time" to reach an agreement.

0ur political correspondent ben wright reports from 0xfordshire. the circumstances have changed here. parliament will not stand for it. every inpatient make sure no deal does not happen. more " to get a new brexit deal braced with an eu but is braced for a battle if he can and if the government tries to leave that you without any agreement. can you guarantee that you will not seek to bypass parma and get a noto breaks it through? what mps should do is under the mandate of the people and leave the eu on october the 315t and thatis leave the eu on october the 315t and that is what... you know mps do not wa nt that is what... you know mps do not want a no—deal brexit, there will be a confidence vote, they may well try and force her to resign orforce

a confidence vote, they may well try and force her to resign or force you to hold a general election. do you plan to dig into number ten? colleagues in the house of commons can see that if we are to restore trust in our democracy, faith in politics, faith in the ability of politicians to deliver on their promises, then we have to leave the yuan october the 315t. your strategy is to wait for the eu to blink and if they don't, no deal? any possibility for the to show flexibility and there are bags of time for them to do it and i'm confident that they will.

having times have you checked your phone today? a lot? it is transfer deadline day, that twice yearly event when fans of the premier league seem to spend every conceivable moment of the day updating their twitter feed, chasing every rumour, only to be disappointed that the dream signing never actually materialised. or maybe that's just burnley fans. we got one over the line. yes, thank goodness the torture is over. the market for british clubs closed two hours ago. it has been meagre pickings for some of us. but now we can enjoy the football. the season starts tomorrow with liverpool and the league newcomers norwich. let's speak to jane dougal, who is in our sports centre. give us the big ones. who has signed who? start with burnley. no, i'm joking. see the whole thing on burnley, he'll be happy. maybe next window. there have been quite a few

last—minute deals getting under the wire. we know this one was on the cards, united have sold romelu lukaku. he has not been happy for a while. he has signed with enter milan for while. he has signed with enter milanfora club while. he has signed with enter milan for a club record fee of 80 million euros on a five—year deal. read by fans at the airport was that we knew that was going to happen, it was confirmed today in the last two minutes before the transfer window shop. also before the window shot, it was announced that alex iwobi would leave arsenal to go to everything for a fee in £35 million. the nigerian has been with arsenal since age eight. he has played more than 50 games in all competitions glasses of that will be a good signing for everton this season. and totte n ha m signing for everton this season. and tottenham who in the last couple of windows have not brought any players have been active this window. the

signed a frenchman from leon property three b and pounds a few days ago and today they announced they signed full of left—back and england international ryan sessegnon to bolster their defence. they also confirmed the argentine giovani lo celso would come to the club on a loan. the deadline is shut for chickpea ship clubs and premier league clubs him a team from leaks one and two and also across scotland and europe can buy players until the 2nd of september. what is it so happened the last minute was met my son was very happened the last minute was met my son was very excited because he is an arsenal fan and when they get the money from chelsea and that makes them very happy. but why do we have to wait until the last minutes, there were months to sort these deals? what happens is when it gets close to the deadline, let's say your club is chelsea, not chelsea they have a band but tottenham. they needed a defender. the agents know that they need a defender and that

means the agents might leave it in the last minute because i can get more money was that you can get them more money was that you can get them more desperate for a defender. that is what that tends to happen. on a lot of occasions. a lot of times, it is agents, inside information but agents who are stirring up things at him it meant many players are not happy and maybe wanted to another club. the longer you go, the more desperate you get, out goes the price. that's the way it works. we're in the wrong job, should be football agents also that's the real job. now, there's a trend for artisan bread, but this is taking specialist baking to a whole new level. a scientist in the us has baked bread with yeast that he retrieved from 4500—year—old egyptian pottery. seamus bla kely enlisted the help of an egyptologist and a microbiologist to collect dormant yeasts and bacteria from inside the ceramic pores of ancient pots. he sent most of the samples off for genome testing, but kept one back for his own kneads.

he fed the yeasts with some ancient grains, and this is what he produced — a delicious—looking loaf of bread! and we can now speak to seamus and microbiologist rich bowen, who extracted the yeast. so, seamus, how did it taste? explain how this works. these are tiny exports which are inside the pot itself? during the process of baking back in ancient egypt, the baker would have used these vessels over and over again and these tiny particles, which leaven the bread, would have been driven into the pores of the ceramics. how do you get them out? what richard develops was a process kind of like microbiological fracking, was a process kind of like microbiologicalfracking, we was a process kind of like microbiological fracking, we take some very young microbiological fracking, we take some very young meet fluid that the east love to eat that wakes it up. kind of what the best morning tea

you've ever had if you have slept for 4000 years, we injected into the pottery and then it simultaneously wa kes pottery and then it simultaneously wakes up these organisms and dislodges them. then we suck them back up into a container and hopefully richard can figure out what they are. richard, are we 10096 certain that this is really the yeast from egyptian times? that dates back all those years? not certain of that until we are actually able to do a sequencing of the genome. and that is possible? we can do that? and fluidly. once they isolate the yeast from the samples and grow them as individuals and colonies, whether there is one species or multiple species recovery, species or multiple species re cove ry , we species or multiple species recovery, we can send them off her whole genome sequencing and figure out what if it is a modern contaminant oran out what if it is a modern contaminant or an ancient strain of

yeast or if it is ancient or which species it is related to that we can also look to see what genome changes have happened over the last several thousand years of specialised breeding and selection. did you taste the bread? yes, of course. what does it taste like? is a difference to our bread? is sourdough bread. it has in common with all of the sourdough and all of history a sort of general flavour profile which is wonderful. it is the ultimate human comfort food. but even though we don't know if the sample that i sort of stole it from myself or might not a project is contaminated, as an avid sourdough baker of a long time, i can tell it was different. i can tell that it was different. i can tell that it was yeast... did it smell differently? it smelled richard.

noticeably so. noticeably so. i have sourdough starter from my daughter and her sourdough starter and there isa and her sourdough starter and there is a matisse mill about how long you've had your starter for. is a matisse mill about how long you've had your starterfor. did your yeast this time kind of responded differently. that it looked like the sourdough that bubbles over on my kitchen countertop? a response a monster same way but a bit differently. this yeast, this culture example if indeed we did get some of the ancient ba ker‘s yeast, indeed we did get some of the ancient baker's yeast, it went to sleep before the invention of modern wheat, before the invention of modern yeast. so it is a fundamentally different strain in the process it eats a different type of grain that we have today. that is i think we have a good chance of finding some of that. when i bake with that, having had a lot of those starters and made a lot myself, i can attack something different about it and it was interesting. it was sort of comforting. it was rich and

different. i hope i am right because at this point it is emotion. richard have to do the science. but the first test is pretty good. if your genome test tells us this is indeed a 5000 —year—old yeast support from egyptian times, could we commercialize it? that is certainly possible. and would people... he has told us it taste differently, so it could be a new type of bread out there, and the marketable kind of bread? i know that he is looking at building ona bread? i know that he is looking at building on a style bakery to actually do the full treatment as the bread goes. and we have tossed around a bit and based on the number of responses on twitter a people basically wanting to throw money at

shamus for the yeast, it is very possible that it could be a highly marketable product. love it. bread fit for the pharaohs. thank you very much for coming on. i wanted to try a taste of that. what do you feel when you are eating bread that has come back from that old? i'm more stood in your countertop when that thing bubbles up over the top. 50 years ago today, a picture was taken of four men crossing a road in london's stjohn's wood. that photo went on to become one of the most iconic images in the history of pop culture. the picture, of course, shows singerjohn lennon leading the three other members of the beatles over a zebra crossing outside abbey road studios, where most of the band's songs were recorded. and today, fans of the beatles made a pilgrimage to the site, paying tribute to the band by recreating the photo on the very same crossing.

christian is leaving us for three weeks holiday. we will not be seeing you. eric and you are feeling pretty chipper tonight. amazing you concentrated on the programme at all. that is how i am feeling inside! we will leave you guys with this, see you soon, christian. if you're travelling over the next couple of days or you are planning to head to any outdoor events, you are going to want to stay in touch with the weather forecast because it looks very turbulent indeed. heavy rain at times but also some unseasonably strong winds. it is all because of this beautiful swirl of cloud here on our recent satellite image. this is the sort of satellite picture we would expect to see in the autumn or winter, not really in the summer. but here it is, an area of low pressure which is heading in our direction. the first effects we will feel is the heavy rain pushing north as we go through the rest of the evening and into the early hours of friday. the rain moving across england, wales, northern ireland and getting

into southern scotland by the end of the night. so a really messy rush hour in edinburgh and glasgow — heavy and persistent rain. to the north of that, a largely dry start to the day. the winds will be picking up, though. some of that rain perhaps clinging on to northern ireland and north—east england as we go through the morning. and then behind that rain band down to the south, yes, we see some spells of sunshine, but you can see all these splodges on the chart, a scattering of heavy, thundery, squally downpours which will continue to race in from the south—west as we go through the day. so this band of persistent rain pushes north across scotland as we go into the afternoon, and then we see that mixture of sunny spells and heavy, thundery, squally showers, really gusty winds. the wind becoming an increasing feature of the weather through the afternoon. we could see gusts of 50 mph or more across the far south—west. those temperatures — 15 celsius for aberdeen, 25 for hull and london. as we move out of friday and into saturday, this area of low pressure firmly in control

of the weather and, on its southern flank particularly, all those white lines, those isobars are squashing together. saturday is going to be an extremely windy day across england and wales. inland spots seeing gusts of 50 mph or more. around the coast, maybe 60 mph or more. that could well cause some problems for outdoor events and also for travelling. and there will also be some really heavy thundery downpours for central and northern portions of the uk. on sunday, things slightly calm down. we see a band of showery rain pushing south—east. there will be some sunshine as well. the winds will be lighter but they'll be coming from the north—west so it is going to feel very cool indeed, particularly in the north.

they will.
