hello, i'm nuala mcgovern, this is outside source. the un says we must change our diets to help stop climate change. a new report warns that intensive farming to produce meat and dairy products is having a devastating impact on the planet. the choice between broccoli and ribs on your plate actually has a real link to the level of global warming that we are likely to see. india's prime minister defends his decision to revoke kashmir‘s special status. narendra modi says a new era has begun, and the region will be freed from separatism. almost seven hundred factory workers are arrested in mississippi in what's believed to be america's largest immigration raid. we'll be outside an equinox gym in new york as the chain battles to keep its customers after links emerge with president trump.

the message from the un experts today is clear: we all need to eat less meat to help fight climate change. the un's climate panel, the ipcc, have released the most comprehensive report on land use and climate change ever compiled, and it makes for sober reading. it says one quarter of global emissions are because of the food we eat, more than half of that is from animals. the report was released in geneva. roger harrabin sent this report from there. this alpine landscape was covered by forest, the trees sucked carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and regulated the climate. then humans cleared some of the land for food, but cattle birthed methane and that

strongly heeds the atmosphere. the sort of low intensity grazing may produce protein from poor soil and it does have some environmental benefits. but it still creates more greenhouse gases than growing plant protein. scientist meeting here in the alps are not saying we have all got to go vegan to protect the claimant, they are saying that we do need vegan to protect the climate, they are saying that we do need to cut down on red meat and dairy produce and shift on towards eating more vegetables. roger was talking about one small european country there, but in brazil in 2108 they were losing around 8,000 square km of rainforest every year, much of it clearing land for cattle grazing. and the rate of deforestation has surged under berazil‘s new leader, jair bolsonaro, earning him the nickname captain chainsaw. but the problem isn't just in brazil. the wildfires that hit siberia in the past week burned aroughly 2.5 million hectares of forest,

and the russian government say the fires were started deliberately by illegal loggers. the forests of borneo have been reduced by around half, because of logging and clearing land to produce palm oil. today's un report also talks about the soil, which is the second largest store of carbon after the oceans. here's what happens when trees and plants are removed. land is a good sink for carbon dioxide, the extract conducts of the atmosphere and some stored in the soil. so it is a sink full for carbon dioxide. and as a change some of the systems to changing the visitation and deforestation for example, we disrupt that cycle and remove a lot of that vegetation that should go back into the in the carbon should be stored, so we can do now and the carbon should be stored,

so we can do now is try to stop destroying some of those habitats through deforestation where we know there is a lot of carbon stored in the soils and a lot of lands that we should actually start to preserve and restore. there are lots of things can do across the sector also, people are also innovating and livestock farming and in the cropping systems to actually make things more sustainable. and there is even more that can be done, as this expert explains. avoided degradation of our carbon rich ecosystems such as the wetlands, because all of those are contributing to ten to 15% of our greenhouse gas emissions. if he stopped doing that, we save some omission. then there is the second group of actions that are managed and improved management, management of our problems, management of my forests —— our forests. of our problems, management of my

forests —— ourforests. and improving our ecology and all of those measures will limit the emissions and carbon in the soil. he bbc‘s sima kotecha has been to meet one family who has taken on a meat free diet. so we buy our fruits from an organic fruit company which delivers every week. collecting our vegetables. helen's been a vegetarian for most of her life, for herfamily, fighting climate change is a daily priority. we drive a few miles to get our vegetables and rather than eating food that's come from china or america. 0ur cost of travelling is less. i also think that it is important to build local food production. is this something that people should really be worried about? because there are people out there who generally believe that there are more important things

in the world than climate change. i cannot think of anything more important. we are talking about in the near future, potentially not being able to produce enough food for the planet. her son, a music enthusiast, says he's doing his bit to help the world. i think if climate change did not exist, i would eat more meat probably. but... yeah, probably. so you're not going to give up sausages altogether? umm... you're thinking about it? maybe. the indian prime minister narendra modi has spoken for the first time since his government removed the special status of kashmir on monday, putting the entire indian—administered part of the region in lockdown. the move has raised tensions between india and its neighbour pakistan —

we'll have more on that in a moment. but first, here's what prime minister modi had to say. translation: injammu, kashmir, ladakh, a new era has now begun now rights and responsibilities of all the citizens of india are the same. i heartily congratulate all the citizens of jammu, kashmir, ladakh and the rest of india. kashmir is a himalayan region claimed by both india and pakistan. each controls different parts of the territory as you can see here. 0n the indian administered side, kashmiris could make their own laws and rules about property ownership. on monday, that special status was revoked by the indian government. pakistan has responded by expelling india's top diplomat and suspending trade with its neighbour. this is how some of india's newspapers responded to that move — the urdu daily rashtriya sahara's headline reads "pakistan rattled by india's decision" and the tribune

leads with " pakistan downgrades ties, india unfazed." 0ur correspondent rahul tandon was following modi's speech in delhi. the reason he gave for removing article 370 which had given kashmir its special status and greater autonomy was simple. he said it had not worked at all. he said all he did brought was nepotism, separatism and terrorism and that it was time for indian administrators to enter a new era and his message really to the people of indian administered kashmir, how they're watching it we're still trying to work out because there is no connectivity in the area. they may have listened to it on the radio because cable television has been shut down. it was he was going to bring them jobs and he was going to bring back tourism to the area and make it a world hub for tourism making it

make it the centre of shooting movies like it used to be. 0n the the pakistan—administered side of kashmir, the suspension of trade with india is already starting to bite. here's what one trader had to say. the crops have been ready for the past four months, we cannot move them because they have put a new system in place. they have to cross the line of control through the eastern market, so i should say that this unexpected restriction is killing the trade. india—administered kashmir remains in a state of lockdown, with mobile phone networks and the internet blocked. aamir peerzada is in the capital srinagar, he sent this report. the lockdown is into it the fourth day with any end in sight, no civilian has been allowed to come out of their house. there have been official announcements of the valley and right now standing, we can see

there is huge deployment of military forces and police everywhere. yesterday we went to south kashmir which is considered the most volatile area. the local militants in that region on rise and the recruitment is at its peak. we are not successful because of huge presence of military forces every ten metres. stay with us on 0utside source — still to come. two upscale gym chains in the us — equinox and soulecle, are battling to keep their customers after their billlionaire owner reportedly plans a fundraiser for president trump. a 14—year—old girl has died after three people were rescued from the sea off the essex coast. the three, who are related, were pulled from the water near clacton pier this afternoon. they were treated on the beach by paramedics before being taken to hospital. 0ur correspondent debby tubby sent us this i have spoken to several people who said that two of the teenagers were fully clothed and i've also

spoken to another man who said he spent a long time resuscitating and treating the 18—year—old man, the eldest one out of the three. they have confirmed that the 18—year—old is in a critical but stable condition and they have also confirmed that the 14—year—old girl has sadly died and the third and final teenager, the 15—year—old girl is said to hopefully make a full recovery from this incident. and essex police have said they are with the family, supporting them as best as they can in this difficult time. this is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur lead story is? a new un report says our diet, intensive farming and food waste are all fuelling global warming and damaging the planet.

the italian deputy prime minister and league party leader, matteo salvini, has called for a snap election, saying his party's differences with its coalition partners cannot be patched up. the five star movement leader, luigi di maio, replied that his party did not fear another election. mr salvini's party is well ahead in opinion polls, mainly due to his strident stance against immigration. the pakistani opposition leader, maryam nawaz, has been detained by anti corruption officials in lahore. she was visiting her father, the jailed former prime minister, nawaz sharif, when she was taken into custody. bbc urdu. train companies in britain are to remain part of the interrail and eurail schemes, despite announcing just yesterday that they'd leave. they said the decision followed a "strong reaction" to news of their departure. the schemes allow ticketholders to travel around europe by train. that's popular on our website. us immigration officials have arrested 680 people in a series of raids.

they took place here in the state of mississippi. the raids were highly co—ordinated and targeted workers at seven food processing plants. the sites belonged to several different owners. here's how it played out. around 600 immigration officers arrived in buses, and surrounded the plants. they were looking for people who didn't have proper documentation. then they started questioning and detaining workers. you can see some of them here being led away and taken to processing facilities. many children came home from school to find their parents were not there. here's one of them — she's a little hard to understand but the emotion is clear. my my dad did nothing! ...he's not a criminal! ...please let him free! some of the children were taken to a local gym for the night. us immigration says they could be looked after by some

of their relatives, or they might need to be placed with other families. not surprisingly, this has upset many people. here's a tweet from the mayor of jackson, mississippi's capital. do not make our communities safer. they criminalize our neighbors & decrease community trust for law enforcement. ice certainly doesn't see it that way. this is from its official twitter page. investigators help combat worker exploitation, illegal wages, child labor and other illegal practices. this follows president trump's announcement of an immigration crackdown back in june. he vowed to deport millions of illegal aliens. 0ur washington correspondent chris bucklerjoins me now. good to have you with us on outside source. with this particular crackdown, i am curious come as it split the country —like summary of the stories of when it comes to

president trump? as you know, immigration is one of those very hot issues in the united states. in donald trump has made it even harder with his constant claims that immigration needs to be tackled, illegal immigration is something he is concerned about. he was to change the system by which people come into the system by which people come into the country. and certainly, he is seen the country. and certainly, he is seen by many, particularly from the democrats as something of the leader of this organisation. immigrations and customs enforcement agents were involved in this. they say that it was not directed by the president, this is been a long investigation thatis this is been a long investigation that is taken them something like 11 months to carry out and as far as they're concerned, they're looking to see people who have the right to be in the us and who is employing people illegally. you can imagine the reaction from those who have seen the reaction from those who have seen those pictures and heard those clips from children who came home from school and simply found that their parents were not there. as you

can imagine, many people are concerned, that is deeply upsetting and again raised questions about ice which has become an organisation thatis which has become an organisation that is the centre of a political battle. many republicans fuelled the work they do is vital, some democrats are calling for it to be abolished. these raids have taken place against the backdrop of two mass shootings. nine people were killed in dayton, 0hio, while 22 were shot dead in el paso, texas. president trump visited el paso on wednesday, but his presence wasn't entirely welcome. some protesters link the president's tough rhetoric on immigration with what happened. the suspect is thought to be the author of a text posted online which said "this attack is a response to the hispanic invasion of texas." some contenders to be the democratic presidential candidate next year are also making that point. here's beto 0'rourke. we live in a country where we have a president

who demonises communities like this one, who vilifies immigrants, who says that those from mexico are rapists and criminals and warns of invasions and infestations. and so no matter how special we are, we cannot separate ourselves from the rest of this country and at one point or another, and for us it was on saturday, that violence and that intolerance and that inaction in the face of violence and intolerance will find us and it did. beto 0'rourke went even further. when he was asked if he thought donald trump was a white supremacist, he replied. "he is. he's also made that very clear." he's not the only candidate saying that now. this woman is too. elizabeth warren is another one of the leading contenders for the democratic nomination. she also answered yes when asked if she thought the president was a white supremacist. president trump is accusing the democrats of playing the race card. he tweeted.

let's go back to chris. high tension and passion to time that america has had and i'm just wondering, may be our viewers as well about the timing of these raids when we also look at the shootings and other focus particularly on when we also look at the shootings and otherfocus particularly on el paso but immigration. it is important to remember that in el paso, members of the hispanic community were targeted by this gunman and it was members of the hispanic community who were targeted in these rentals are very different things but democrats are certainly making that point in the point is that the rates are carried out as president trump was making his way to el paso in texas to meet the victims of the shooting and indeed some of their families. and

victims of the shooting and indeed some of theirfamilies. and it is that has led to some contenders to say as far as they're concerned, the timing wasjust say as far as they're concerned, the timing was just appalling say as far as they're concerned, the timing wasjust appalling in say as far as they're concerned, the timing was just appalling in fact, some have gone so timing was just appalling in fact, some have gone so far to say that it was cruel and evil. for example, many give the idea that no matter what happens in the months ahead, theseissues what happens in the months ahead, these issues of race and immigration are not —— are going to be incredibly important in the next presidential election and people are going to be watching each other‘s words very carefully a nd watching each other‘s words very carefully and that is particularly true when it comes to president trump. and you think still with his base for example, these rates that we have seen taking place, will that play to his campaign, his reelection campaign that he has undertaken at the moment for 2020? with a go down well? what is important to remember is that as much as there are people

who were saying that people should not be targeted in rates like this, there are others who feel very strongly that immigration has gotten out of control. they have seen the pressure at the border and there is no doubt that a surge of people coming from central america and there are some of the electorate, particularly president trump supporters who feel very strongly that something should be done to tackle that. it is one of the issues that he campaigned about to win the presidency in 2016 and the key point is, he won the presidency in 2016 with that kind of rhetoric. and therefore, there is that if he does not change those words in america just becomes more divided as democrats continue to say as far as they are concerned, he is being a racist and he says as far as he is concerned is that he's standing up for ordinary americans who want their jobs, for ordinary americans who want theirjobs, want their for ordinary americans who want their jobs, want their economy for ordinary americans who want theirjobs, want their economy and wa nt theirjobs, want their economy and want their country to protect it. yet another american business has been drawn into a political row, this time it's the gym chains equinox and soul cycle. as this article in today's

washington post newspaper explains they are owned by stephen ross, the billionaire owner of the miami dolphins —— who is now facing a backlash over hosting a fundraiser for president trump's re—election campaign. the us comedian billy eichner was one of the most vocal critics. he later tweeted that he'd cancelled his membership and isjust one of many who don't like the company's links to president trump. samira hussain sent this from one of their gyms in new york. the studios are experiencing a backlash for those of their customers that are not a fan of us president donald trump. steven ross, he is the owner and the chairman of

related companies, the related companies are the owner of soul cycle a nd companies are the owner of soul cycle and equinox jim companies are the owner of soul cycle and equinoxjim and when he came to light that he was holding a fundraiser in the new york area and this friday, many members went to go cancel their gym memberships and voice their outrage online. equinox gym and soulecle have said they are independent from what stephen ross does and that they are inclusive environments and are not political in any way. in one of the companies, soulecle, their press release went further to say that stephen ross is a passive investor. well that angered people more on social media and anyone who understands the business structure will note that he is not in fact a passive investor and that as a majority owner and as the chairman of the related

companies, the profits that these gyms make ultimately end up being profits that he gets to use as he so chooses. and also other gems that are capitalising on this opportunity, trying to lure people to their companies and saying that we offer and alternatives. fans of the beatles have been gathering in london, to mark fifty years since this picture was taken. it's now one of the most famous images in pop, showing john lennon leading the group over a zebra crossing, outside the abbey road studios in north london, where most of their songs were recorded. lizo mzimba reports from abbey road. for half a century, fans from all over the world, fans of all ages have come here to recreate and in their own way, feel a connection to perhaps the most famous band ever.

coming from belgium and i'm here for abbey road and this is one of the last beatles records. we are coming from mexico and we are really big fans of the beatles and we are excited to be here in london. he liked the music i'm from uruguay and i love the beatles. abbey road studios has become almost synonymous with the band that is recorded so much of their music there. they were the most famous band in the world but even they may have underestimated the impact those short few minutes would have emerge from the studios, came up to the road and at exactly 1135, walked backwards and forwards over the crossing while photographer took six quick shots. the fifth was chosen

and entered music history. the abbey road album is particularly special to bands as it represents the last studio recording sessions to involve all four beatles together. half a century on, things were a little busier than that day in 1969, but the police eventually having to intervene to control the vans to make fans blocking the road. since the famous shot was taken and the tribute band recreating what has become an image that encapsulates the beatles to so many. coming up, we're going to talk about climate change but also how it affects the migration of people and so affects the migration of people and so do stay with us for that an outside source, back with another half—hour.

hello there. the two tropical cyclones and the open waters of the west pacific have rapidly strengthened in the past 2a hours and become strong typhoons. we are most concerned about the typhoon which has developed a very distinct eye and is moving towards the northwest of taiwan, battering some of the islands to the south of japan as we speak and this one behind it also developed and i as it became a typhoon in the past 12 hours. both systems, this will meandering out and open waters, this one is going to move northwestwa rd and open waters, this one is going to move northwestward to bring very heavy rain, huge waves and damaging to the northern tip of taiwan and will weaken slowly as it heads towards eastern china bring heavy rain and strong winds into the

shanghai region into the weekend and go further as it pushes to the northeast of china and to the beijing area. the typhoon meanders to open waters still strong system, getting out together until we head into next week, so it could approach japan and the part of next week and bring some heavy rain but in the short—term, is taipei shanghai and having some heavy rains and downpours. across south asia, we are seeing a rural spike in the monsoon rain, particularly through the western area here since the start of august, we have also seen monsoon those developed in the north bay have been called, moving across northern india and by saturday and sunday, it will be out across the northwest and affecting some flooding downpours by sundays out. behind me is the aftermath of what was a pretty significant landslide

near the area of northern italy. this was in response to torrential thunderstorms which have been battering the region towards tuesday and wednesday and it was all tied into this front which moved up from the southwest battling parts of switzerland, in northern italy which will removing on across poland —— which were moving on across poland in areas of bring some wet and windy weather but behind the pressure builds and it looks like it will kill off most of the showers and there will be signs of disturbing weather from the southwest end of next week. looking to the northwest of the country here and a deep area of the country here and a deep area of low pressure which is going to bring parts of the uk followed by rare gale force winds you can see is since of moving north eastwards and on the southern flank will received this gale force wind up to 60 mice per hour and exposure across south west england. so it is very stormy to end the week with sunshine and

heavy showers, stay tuned for the full forecast and a half hour.

hello, i'm nuala mcgovern, this is 0utside source. the un says we must change our diets to help stop climate change. a new report warns that intensive farming to produce meat and dairy products is having a devastating impact on the planet. the choice between broccoli and ribs on your plate actually has a real link to the level of global warming we are likely to see. india's prime minister defends his decision to revoke kashmir‘s special status. narendra modi says a new era has begun, and the region will be freed from separatism. almost 700 factory workers are arrested in mississippi in what's believed to be america's largest immigration raid. and we'll look at why scientists are concerned about the growing market for dinosaur fossils.

as we've been hearing, a new un report warns that the world's land and water resources are being exploited at unprecedented rates. this combined with climate change is putting dire pressure on the ability of humanity to feed itself. the report also says these food shortages are far more likely to affect poorer parts of the world. that could increase a flow of immigration that is already redefining politics in north america, europe and other parts of the world. these images were taken by the world food programme. they're from what is known as the dry corridor — areas of el salvador and guatemala that have suffered five years of drought. this is so unusual that scientists believe it's a consequence of climate change. farmers there are struggling even to feed their families.

and as one of the lead authors put it: "people don't stay and die where they are. people migrate". between 2010 and 2015 map the number of migrants from el salvador, guatemala and honduras showing up at the united states' border with mexico increased fivefold, coinciding with this dry period. this has far—reaching consequences. time correspondent charlotte alter sums it up in this tweet "the spiral, extremely simplified: rapidly changing climate, food shortage, increased migration, populist resentment of migrants, nationalist backlash, far—right political ascent, rollback of environmental protections, rapidly changing climate". laura melo is from the world food programme, shejoins us from canada. pretty ha p py pretty happy with us, when you hear

that it pretty happy with us, when you hear thatitis pretty happy with us, when you hear that it is something you agree with that it is something you agree with that migration patterns are at times linked to climate change? definitely changing weather patterns are forcing people to look for alternatives to feed their families. and the alternate is often is to either look for work elsewhere within the country or migrate. because there are no other alternatives. and this has terrible consequences for families as well because very often, the demand for men will migrate and women and children are left behind with big debts to pay and nothing to feed families. so definitely it's perpetuating a cycle of poverty and the cycle of hunger in countries and areas that are already extremely vulnerable. and what we are seeing for example in guatemala where i am in and responsible for them, we see many families who five years in a row have been affected by drought. and thisjob has been combined row have been affected by drought.

and this job has been combined with heavy rain as well, and this not only in guatemala as you mentioned, it's affecting the dry corridor of central america which is also in el salvador and honduras and nicaragua. it's interesting because a lot of the countries we mentioned are the ones that have come up when it comes to debate at immigration in the united states, basically the —— the debacle is taking place at the border of mexico. but i wonder as you say, glad michael has authority to implement any particular initiative to ease the drought and to help people get the food they need. we are working very closely with the government to support some of the most vulnerable communities and some of the most vulnerable families. 0bviously, and some of the most vulnerable families. obviously, it's not enough because, i mean we had seenjust in guatemala itself, about half the families are affected by serious food crisis. so this is only in

guatemala. so we are providing together with government some support to the family. but it's really not enough. and what we need to continue working with is the families is to enable demand stay where they are because really, no family really where they are because really, no fa m ily really wa nts where they are because really, no family really wants to migrate, they wa nt to family really wants to migrate, they want to stay on their land and in their homes. no man or woman wants to lead their children behind to look for better opportunities, but very often, this is what they have been forced to do just because there isn't enough support for them. we are also talking about very remote areas of the country where alternatives are very limited. so what would you recommend if you had one recommendation or piece of advice to government, what would you say they need to implement immediately? we really need to work on double track approach as it worked. 0n on double track approach as it worked. on one hand, to really get support, immediate support for families who are in dire need. at the same time, also worked on a more needy to long—term resilient

strategy that the families that have alternative ways to earn livings and diversify their livelihoods, and are able to really stay in their land and homes with a new economic opportunities. this is something that i think we have to work together, at the local authorities as well as the government communities, we want everyone to work together towards this more resilient building approach families look and have opportunities to feed theirfamilies look and have opportunities to feed their families and avoid a patterns of hunger that result from this really strong changing weather patterns. thank you very much, laura. the uk prime minister borisjohnson has announced plans to develop a new fast—track visa system to attract top scientists from across the world. he's also been talking about brexit, calling on the eu to show "common sense" and compromise. more on that in a moment, but first

here are his plans for immigration. he's been speaking to our political correspondent ben wright. what we wanted to see is a greater openness to top talent from around the world, particularly scientific top talent, so we are going to turn the uk into a kind of supercharged magnet, drawing scientists from around the world to help push forward projects like this in which we cannot only take a scientific lead, but a commercial lead as well. jessica parker is in westminster. if you have you back, so what do you think i did think this new plan by a borisjohnson is that he's listening to the scientific community because there have been sounding alarms i what might happen to research and development at the scientific community. particular concern from the community in uk has been the fa ct the community in uk has been the fact that a lot of the researcher is

here i think around half currently work in the uk, coming from the eu, so people are worried that in terms of accessing talent pull it's going to be trickier after brexit because a course of the money, people can move in and out of the eu countries and work and live as they like and it was not clear maybe what would happen after brexit. the science community welcoming this announcement from boris johnson today, this idea of looking at past tracking tier one highly skilled in these applications, lifting the cap as well the number of people in terms of getting does it be this coming year. but science leaders also still waiting that in their view, a no—deal brexit would be very, very bad for research and development. i think he is therefore trying to address their concerns to some extent, but still not ruling up a no—deal brexit and far from it. some extent, but still not ruling up a no—deal brexit and farfrom it. so those concerns will to some extent remain. stay with us jessica because borisjohnson has also been speaking about the chances of the uk leaving the eu without a deal

and whether he'd bypass parliament and force it to happen. what mps should do is honour the mandate of the people that leave the eu on october 31 and that is what... a but you know and please do not wa nt a but you know and please do not want a no deal that brexit, there will be a confidence vote in trying to force you to resign or hold general elections, do you plan to dig into numberten? general elections, do you plan to dig into number ten? the colleagues concede that if we are to restore trust in our democracy, fate and politics, faith in the ability of politicians to deliver on their promises, then we have to leave at the eu on october 31. 0k, good to happy still with us, so you think he can do this? i'm trying to get a clear and concise answer from his answer on what happened next. look, it's quite clear in the interview he did not want to be drawn into the scenarios in there quite a lot of them that are being

discussed on what on earth could happen here in westminster when bmps return from summer recess. in the heart of it is he is keeping a no—deal brexit on the table although claiming and be interviewed there are bags of time to do a deal with the european union and the chance of ano the european union and the chance of a no deal are still million to one, but i think some people had their eyebrows raised, but he still keeping it on the table and the closer we get to that date, and then when they return the item, many who are againsta when they return the item, many who are against a no go to pressure from the eu will do everything they can to try and stop that from happening, and that's when you get into the scenario is about whether boris johnson could base a vote of no confidence in what would happen to be lost, could there be another government formed a so—called government formed a so—called government of national unity to look for a delay to brexit, could he actually looked at college and election after october 31. and therefore in some people's words, bypass parliament by almost forcing

through a no—deal brexit and the period that precedes a general election. so there's lots of speculation you can see he's really not wanting to get drawn into it. instead try to strike that optimistic note and as he sees it delivering the mandate breaks people gave in 2016. thank you forjoining us from westminster. stay with us on 0utside source — still to come... 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. it's a big day for premier league clubs who have been adding the finishing touches to their squads ahead of the new season which starts tomorrow. big money has been changing hands, man utd sold lukaku to inter milan for 7a million pounds, while tottenham signed the fulham winger sessegnon for 25 million. the summer transfer window closed this afternoon, and natalie pirks was at arsenal

where they've made some of the day's most eye—catching signings. yes, the coach has been busy adding two defenders to the roster today and that their time asking he managed to get the signature at the highly rated left backer karen interning from celtic. they pay 25 —— karen interning. they pay 25 billion for him —— million. but the biggest eye—catching is in the form of chassis's david louisejoining on a two—year dealfor 8 of chassis's david louisejoining on a two—year deal for 8 million. of chassis's david louisejoining on a two—year dealfor 8 million. that deal is yet to confirm we are waiting to see if it will be ratified before the deadline. back here in may, he signed a contract saying he was happy to be there around 20 grand a year, now former team—mates and new boss had clearly deemed him surplus to requirements but that pounds drop in the ocean compared to what other clubs spend. manchester united spending the most

of any cloud, £18 million for the england defender harry maguire from lester making him the most expensive defender on the planet. they recruit some of that for their one to wait strike up. we had a high complete definitive figures yet for how much was spent in the window, but remember record was back in 2017, one .425 remember record was back in 2017, one .42 5 billion. to begin close to that again. this is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur lead story is... a new un report says our diet, intensive farming and food waste are all fuelling global warming and damaging the planet. here are the other stories.

the italian deputy prime minister and league party leader, matteo salvini, has called for a snap election, saying his party's differences with its coalition partners cannot be patched up. the five star movement leader, luigi di maio, replied that his party did not fear another election. mr salvini's party is well ahead in opinion polls, mainly due to his strident stance against immigration. a mum's voice calling out for her missing daughter has been played over loudspeakers during a search of the malaysian jungle. police believe 15 year old nora quoirin — who has special needs — is still somewhere near the resort south of kuala lumpur that she vanished from on sunday. her family fear she's been abducted. train companies in britain are to remain part of the interrail and eurail schemes — despite announcing just yesterday that they'd leave. they said the decision followed a "strong reaction" to news of their departure. the schemes allow ticketholders to travel around europe by train. that's popular on our website. the afghan taliban says it's close to finalising a peace deal with the us.

the two sides are meeting in the qatari capital, doha — thousands of kilometres away from the violence that has destroyed afghanistan for the past 18 years. this is the eigth round of talks, and both sides say they've made progress. the us says it will withdraw troops from afghanistan — if the taliban promises not to harbour foreign militants. but realistically, there's still a long way to go until peace is acheived. the taliban now controls more territory in afghanistan than ever before — it's shown here in all the orange and brown. the bbc‘s chief international correspondent, lyce doucet spoke with a taliban spokesperson in qatar. here's what he said about the taliban's committment to reducing violence. many afghans doubt your commitment to peace when they see that they are still dying every day while you talk peace here in qatar. there are spoilers of peace that we are

talking to resolve this issue peacefully. we are committed that to bring about a sustainable peace in afghanistan. but right now, we have not concluded the peace deal. how can it be possible? they take responsibility for some of the attacks which have killed civilians. you called them spoilers, do you mean there are some that it's divided? no, never, we have taken responsibility for civilians because thatis responsibility for civilians because that is not our policy. our policy is clear. and that is liberating our country. our policy is not killing... killing our own people is not our policy. and there is any collateral damage and we are

investigating that. it's very hard to collect collateral damage when many civilians are being killed. yeah, that's from the kabul administration by the americans. he's blaming us—forces for civilians being killed. this un report says afghan and us forces have killed more civilians in afghanistan in the first half of this year than insurgents did. but the taliban has targetted civilian zones. there are many times that the taliban has claimed responsibility for attacks on or near schools, hospitals, and mosques that killed civilians. the taliban said it was behind this attack on wednesday — a huge car bomb was detonated outside a police station, killing at least 1a people and injuring 150 — most of them civilians. so, a lasting peace deal would be hugely important — but when, if ever, will it happen? i asked lyse doucet.

that is such a tough question. and urgent question for a country that has not only 18 years of war, but more than a0 years at war, whole generations had only known war. when we talk about a peace process, there is now the taliban and united states are very close, but the site say that, very close to reaching a deal, at withdrawal of us troops in turn —— in return for committing to security and they have an up and talked at that allocation for framework of peace and cease—fire. but the second round of talks will be even more difficult. and afghans here that the conclusion of those talks will be a long time in the future. what you think in the second round will be so difficult? well, the afghans delegation that has been formed by afghans from across the site team members of government and

civil society, went the members of government and civil society, wind —— best representatives for women, they still refuse to talk to government as government so it's going to be broad—based afghan delegation. they will want to know that they accept the constitution, they accept rights and freedoms given to afghans and one by them since 2001. in the interview i asked him about rights of women and he said they will have islamic rights, the interpretation of it at least maybe it's different, but it's the cease—fire. it's one of the most things, they will be no cease—fire until there is a peace deal. i could be years away death. americans are trying to tie the last departure of american troops to a peace deal, hoping it'll encourage a patella band to do the deal but some fear president trump wants to take his troops out and say we gave you enough time i'm bringing my trip some. we have seen these incidents as the talks continue. also watching it, i'm sure viewers must be

thinking as well to sit down opposite a taliban spokesperson how difficult is it to secure the interview and get that face—to—face? well the bbc has been reporting from afghanistan for very long time, and i have presently been reporting for more than a quarter of a century. many that listen watch this easy —— watch now the interview was also dealt with a colleague from the urdu service. and i need to be in place to come a very multilingual. today isa to come a very multilingual. today is a respect for bbc. in fact i know him for many years even though we haven't seen each other for a long time. so i think they realise now, at the new taliban to a certain extent, they want to talk to the world. i understand that what they wa nt to world. i understand that what they want to talk to the wild, they will talk to the bbc. let's go to kyrgyzstan, where this man almaz—bek atam—beyev — the former president — has been detained after authorities raided his house. it's the second attempt to get him into custody.

the first one failed — and turned deadly. you can see here — mr atambayev thanking supporters outside his home — when his security suddenly intervenes and whisks him away — as the first raid begins. two his supporters blocked access to his house as special forces officers tried to get in. the supporters were armed, and as officers swooped — there were violent clashes, and one officer was killed, while 80 people were injured. his supporters tried to stop the second raid aswell, but after lengthy negotiations, mr atembayev gave himself up. now, kyrgyzstan is on the brink of a political crisis, almazbek atambayev is accused of corruption and has ignored police summonses for questioning. he denies any wrong doing, and says it's politically motivated. gulnara kasmambyet is from bbc‘s kyrgyz service, and explains why. because of the former president and the current president are fighting for and influence. but effectively, i think the former president already lost his ground. because today in

the morning, he declared it to the whole country during his press conference or kind of press conference, that he only possessed the firearms. if you remember yesterday, there was a rated to ca ptu re yesterday, there was a rated to capture him and during that, one security officer died from a real bullet. while the security services we re bullet. while the security services were saying they're only using plastic bullets. in the former president and now declared that only he possesses a firearms and the current president today said it until now, the former president was invited to the court as a witness only, but now he has to be responsible for what he has done.|j was surprised in a way when he was stripped of his immunity that he had his former president and decided to stay in kurdistan. this one was trying to stay there, and it took him by surprise when he was stripped of his immunity. so he couldn't

expect things would go that far, because the current president with hand by him. said these are the former allies who over time, realised there is a struggle for id influence in the country, because the current president, if he wanted to leave the country realising he no longer could be ordered by the former president. and therefore, he started sidelining of the allies at the former president and therefore a cannot happen. some scientists are concerned about the growing market for purchasing dinosaur fossils. here's one of the artefacts that went on sale at christie's recently. this is the tooth of a tyrannosaurus rex. it's around 66 million years old, and sold for $4500. 0ur reporter beth timmins has been covering this story ssource if you're an auctioneer at barrett you would you say there's no problem

because last said about the trade, lots of auction houses across the world so the dinosaurs, even acting such as leonardo dicaprio, russell crowe they‘ re such as leonardo dicaprio, russell crowe they're buying process. so from their point of view, there's nothing wrong with buying some of these prized specimens from science. but, if you're on the other side of the coin and you're from the museums, many palaeontologists have been telling me that this trade threatens their research, so, and this is because if you're a palaeontologist working at the national museum, you may not realise a specimen was traded, you may want to research it. so one of the palaeontologist i spoke to told me that the stegosaurus who is called sophie, she's 151 that the stegosaurus who is called sophie, she's151 million years old. and before her, we didn't even know how many plates there were in the stegosaurus back. so without this

kind of vital information, science cannot move on because often, there are cases where the owners are not necessarily able to let scientists come in and researched their fossils. you can read more about that on our website, thank you for spending time with us. is it august or is it autumn? you may well be wondering after you had seen what is in this weather forecast. the next few days, turbulent weather on the way. heavy rain at times, but also unseasonable strong wind. could cause some travel problems. thejet stream has been dipping a long way south across the atlantic and these strong lands in the atmosphere had spun up an area of low pressure. you can see it here on the early satellite image, eight beautiful swirls of cloud. the sort of thing you would be used to seeing on a

chart of tests. 0nly usually during the item or winter, not really a during that summer. but this area low pressure pushes and our direction as we had there friday and we will see outbreaks of heavy rain pushing north. soggy start to the day across parts of scotland. persistent thunder and rain pushing north across scotland. and then some dry weather and spells of sunshine. a real rash of thunder and shower is passing in from the southwest. wind will increase and become a teacher. wind will increase and become a feature. about 50 mph, possibly stronger than that in the southwest later in the day. and those temperatures ranging from 15 degrees in aberdeen to 25 norwich. here is the low as we go into the weekend, notice white lines back together. particularly on the southern flank of this area. for england and wales, saturday will be extremely windy. inland areas could see gusts of 50 mph or more possibly 60 or more in coastal areas. this could cause problems for outdoor advanced and difficult travelling

conditions, especially when we consider there will still be happy thunder and downpours across the north of the uk. so the low pressure is still weapons into the second half of the weekend. not as windy on sunday, but the wind will coming from the northwest. it is going to allow us to tap into some very cool air indeed. so on sunday, we push a band that shower rain in an erratic way southeast. we see dry weather and spells of sunshine, but look at the temperature is. 1a—15d across scotland. down to the south, may be scraping into the low 20s. the low is going to relinquish its grip somewhat. the start of the new work week, i will not be as windy on monday. there will still be some showers around, some could be heavy and possibly full of thunder. also grey and damp weather across parts of northeast scotland, some spells of sunshine, but temperature is still a little disappointing for this time of year. and then going into tuesday, slightly calmer spell of weather and light wind.

some sunshine and showers as well. there is a chance that later in the day we could see more persistent rain gathering to the southwest. as we headed through next week, they jet stream will still be driving our weather. blowing quite strong across the atlantic, bringing areas of unsettled weather into our direction. there is a chance that through the middle part of next week, we might spin up another deep area of low pressure. just how deep? well that remains to be seen. but this kind of weather set up will favour bringing cool air down from the north. certainly don't be expecting any sort of heat wave. next week and into the following weekend, we see rain at times. potentially a spell of windy weather through the week. some dry interludes and throughout it'll be rather cool, but no sign of any august weather for the ten days.

the united nations says we need to eat less meat to help tackle climate change. scientists have warned that intensive farming to produce meat and dairy products is having a growing impact on the planet. the 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. but the experts have stopped short of telling people to give up meat altogether. also tonight... a man's been charged with attempted murder after a police officer was stabbed in a frenzied machete attack in east london. the prime minister promises to fast track visas for top scientists coming to britain as he says he's confident a deal can be done with the eu. a 1a year old girl has died and an 18 year old is in a critical
