you're watching bbc news at nine with me, lu kwesa burak. the headlines: first in line for a trade deal with the us — one of president trump's closest advisors says america will back the uk after brexit. calls to ban drivers using their mobiles hands—free — a group of mps says it's just as dangerous as using your phone behind the wheel. hong kong airport re—opens after protests — but chief executive carrie lam warns activists they risk pushing the city into an abyss. this is the scene live in hong kong airport, where operations have resumed — but authorities warn flights will still be affected. more money to boost security inside prisons, to tackle drugs and mobile phones smuggling. remembering woodstock 50

years on — we'll hear from the couple who came to represent the spirit of the festival. and we now know that the next commonwealth games will have more women's medal events than men's, after three new sports were added. good morning, and welcome to the bbc news at nine. one of president trump's most senior advisers has said britain will be at the front of the queue for a trade deal with america after brexit. john bolton, the national security adviser, has been holding talks with borisjohnson at downing street, and will meet other ministers today. he said, "in the trump administration, britain's constantly at the front of the trade queue."

he added that the us could do a trade deal with the uk in pieces, striking agreements sector—by—sector where the two countries may agree quickly, and work out more complicated areas like agriculture and services later. and he criticised the eu, saying that "the fashion when the people vote the wrong way from the way that the elites want to go, is to make the peasants vote again and again until they get it right." joining me now is our political correspondent jonathan blake. jonathan, we haven't seen any footage of these talks, but what more was discussed? mostly behind closed doors, the prime minister met john bolton yesterday and is meeting various other cabinet ministers around whitehall today. but, as you say, i think downing street will be very happy with what mr bolton said last night after his meeting with

the prime minister and borisjohnson is probably grinning from ear to, reading and hearing about what he had to say. he has really played into the prime minister's arguments, both politically and practically, when it can as to the uk's future trading relationship with the united states after brexit, practically saying we do not have to wait to do a competitive trading deal which could take years to sort out, we can do this sector by sector, piece by piece, which will not necessarily ta ke piece, which will not necessarily take as long. and the uk will be at the front of the line, as he put it, in american parlance. and then talking about the eu as an anti—democratic elite institution where it does not respect the result of the referendum and actually wants the uk to stay in after all, and saying he and president trump were leavers before there were leavers. all this is helpful to the prime minister's arguments that the uk

will somehow be free of the shackles of membership of the european union after brexit and able to strike trade deals elsewhere across the world. but there are plenty at westminster urging caution and saying, hold on, just becausejohn bolton is coming here and appearing to promise the earth, it does not mean he does not want anything in return. there will be negotiation around whatever trading relationship the uk has with the us in future. the conservative chair of the foreign affairs select committee in the house of commons warned this morning that the uk should be aware thatjohn bolton morning that the uk should be aware that john bolton is morning that the uk should be aware thatjohn bolton is here to defend and extend us interests and this is not some sort of teary—eyed romantic vision of the special relationship, as he puts it, that he is trying to rekindle for romantic and historic reasons. the foreign secretary, former foreign secretary, jack straw is among others warning about the stability and's deal of

international organisations like the un, the world trade organisation, saying he has been opposed to those for his entire political career and also that its view of the world is on the far right. and again on that relationship on trade, warning you do not get something for nothing. so an interesting catalyst, if you like, to the uk's discussions with the us in terms of trade in the future, but plenty picking over exactly what mr bolton has to say and warning it might not quite be as it appears. jonathan blake, frankie very much. —— thank you very much. we can now speak to former foreign secretary sir malcolm rifkind. are you edging caution over what john bolton has said?” are you edging caution over what john bolton has said? i think it's remarks are a bit like the key would's egg, it was good in parts. we can very warmly welcome the political priority the us is giving to trade negotiations with the uk.

it is also very important concession to agree to have these talks sector by sector in order to get some results as early as possible. a full conference of trade negotiation could take years and years. the other side of that coin is that if it is only sector by sector, the benefits will be very, very modest ata time benefits will be very, very modest at a time when we most need benefits because of the potential loss of trade we will have with the european union. there are other causes for genuine concern. the us has a well—recognised reputation, this is not a criticism, of being very hard negotiators when it comes to trade but they will want things in return and it will notjust be clawing a chicken, it will be lots of demands which if we do not concede, we get nothing ourselves. the finer points of concern, particularly from bolton, is whether they want trade—offs for trade concessions in oui’ trade—offs for trade concessions in ourforeign policy? trade—offs for trade concessions in our foreign policy? it trade—offs for trade concessions in ourforeign policy? it was notjust theresa may, borisjohnson was her

foreign secretary for the first two yea rs foreign secretary for the first two years when the uk did not side with washington, with mr trump, years when the uk did not side with washington, with mrtrump, on years when the uk did not side with washington, with mr trump, on the iran dealand a washington, with mr trump, on the iran deal and a whole host of other foreign policy issues. borisjohnson is foreign secretary supported the french, german under the european position. if he is under pressure to change and that, he will have some explaining to do if he thinks it is the right thing to do. what do you make of talks like this starting now? you have been very critical about what takes place in terms of the general election coming in between the brexit post brexit, post no—deal brexit? between the brexit post brexit, post no-deal brexit? what are your thoughts? i have no problem with serious talks beginning, they cannot conclude until after brexit has happened because the uk cannot enter into any new trade relationships while still technically a member of the eu, but i welcome the fact that the eu, but i welcome the fact that the government and government are keen to have these talks starting

now, so that when brexit happens, we have hopefully completed some of the early discussions and identified some of the opportunities and problems that will had to be coped with. do you think we should get some benefits? we are considered a special friend, we some benefits? we are considered a specialfriend, we are in some benefits? we are considered a special friend, we are in the special friend, we are in the special relationship, but whenjohn bolton was speaking, it seems that whatever terms were agreed they would follow the world trade organisation tariffs? if we leave without a deal, we can rely on the world trade organisation, some say, and the system works very well. but one of the sworn opponents of the world trade organisation and all its transport is president trump and his administration, including john bolton. they do not believe in global trade policy, they do not believe in other than transactional negotiations on a one—to—one basis.

they have a rather curious situation edging with the british government using the wto as its safety net, if it were, if we leave the eu without a deal, but it is prime —— that in these new trade negotiations its new chum will be the usa, which stands against everything the wto stance both. —— the wto stands for. drivers should be banned from using hands—free mobile phones in england and wales, a group of mps has suggested. the commons transport committee warns current laws are giving the misleading impression that the devices are safe to use. it comes after a steady rise in the number of deaths and serious injuries in accidents involving drivers using phones at the wheel. our transport correspondent, tom burridge reports. use your phone at the wheel and you can get a £200 fine and six points on your licence. the government toughened the law two years ago, but in a report out today, mps on the transport select committee

say it's still an insufficient deterrent. the number of people killed or seriously injured in an accident where a driver was using a phone has been rising steadily in recent years. in 2009, 15 people were killed in accidents where a driver was using a phone. four years later, that figure had risen to 26. and by 2017, 43 people had died in accidents involving a phone. today's report by mps says the police are not enforcing the law. the number of penalties issued in the past eight years has fallen by two—thirds. so the mps want the government to consider banning all use of phones at the wheel even on hands—free, and they say the law should be simplified so there's not a possible defence for those typing at the wheel while not receiving or sending data, as is currently the case today. tom burridge, bbc news. hong kong's leader carrie lam says

violence is pushing the city into an abyss and a path of no return. she says the rule of law is being damaged — and that the city's recovery from anti—government protests could take a long time. this is the scene live in hong kong, where flights have resumed at its airport, which was forced to cancel services yesterday when demonstrators occupied the terminal. protestors are once again descending on the airport. bill hayton reports. hong kong airport is now functioning, though things are still far from normal. protesters have gone, but dozens of flights are still being cancelled. mainly by the territory's flag carrier, cathay pacific. and that disruption looks likely to continue for a while. the storm clouds are still hanging over hong kong, particularly over the head of its chief executive. she looked tense in her weekly press conference and offered nothing new. she refused to answer questions

about whether she had the authority to withdraw the controversial extradition law which was the original spark for the protests. this question has been answered on previous occasions. reporter: but you've evaded the question on numerous occasions. number one, as we have all heard from the spokesman of the hong kong and macau press office, the central government is still contemplating that. i myself as the government of the hong kong sar, together with the police force, that we are still capable of resolving this crisis. meanwhile, the central government is increasing the psychological pressure. official media has released video of units of paramilitary police travelling to shenzhen, just over the borderfrom hong kong. it appears to be a warning that beijing is willing to use even more force to quell the protests. the demonstrations are now in their 10th week and show no signs of fading.

instead, the authorities‘ response seems to be adding more fuel to the fire. neither side is backing down, nor reaching out for compromise. bill hayton, bbc news. as we saw in bill hayton's report, the hong kong leader carrie lam gave an emotional press conference in which she warned the country had reached a dangerous situation. translation: so here i ask everybody again to put aside our differences and content. take a minute to look at our city, our home. can be better to push it into the abyss and see it smashed to pieces? —— can we bear? let's cross live to hong kong and our china correspondent, stephen mcdonnell. a plea from carrie lam to put aside everyone's differences. how likely is that going to happen? at the

moment, no sign that either side is backing down, and i should add that the latest is the protesters are back at the airport again, it seems like thousands of them. there are protesters at the airport sitting on the ground, there are already flights delayed in their hundreds and we are wondering what will happen tonight in hong kong. the goal is not necessarily to shut down the airport, it is just there are so many protesters there that it makes people —— had made it impossible for people —— had made it impossible for people to reach the check—in counters, so they should bend down and all outbound flights were cancelled. this is the fifth day in a row that have been protests at the airport and the numbers swelled yesterday because people were angry at these allegations of police brutality on the weekend, on the pro—democracy site they are saying that the police have been firing non—lethal ransom point blank range at protesters, bashing them, one protester looks like she may have

lost her eyesight as a result. this anger is whatjoe people to the airport and to call again for the government to have an inquiry into the police. —— what drove people to the police. —— what drove people to the airport. carrie lam says there is no need foreign independent inquiry into the police and the allegations of collusion with triad gangs, because the police are investigating themselves, there is already a police inquiry under way. i think it most countries the idea that the police would investigate themselves is not acceptable, i think to any impartial observer, and as long as that is not happen, people will continue to be angry, i think. other demands, of course, are much tougher. the protesters want universal suffrage, there is no sign that the government here or beijing is moving one inch closer to that and the opposite, we are getting threats from the central government that we have troops, we have

military police by the truckload just across the border and the global times newspaper, a communist party controlled paper, they take opinions out there to an extreme to test it, but they have an editorial today warning protesters if you have not seen those trucks full of military police just across in shenzhen, you should be aware you are facing your destruction. so really tough words from the global times newspaper, i guess that is the nuclear option for beijing, to sending military police or even the army, which is garrisoned in hong kong. thank you very much. an extra £100 million pounds is to be spent on improving security in prisons in england and wales. the government says it wants to introduce airport—style security like x—ray scanners and metal detectors in more jails. it's the latest in a series of pledges of money for the criminaljustice system which have been made since borisjohnson became prime minister,

sparking speculation about a general election. our home affairs correspondent, june kelly has the story. leeds prison — it's not a top securityjail but, like others, it's had a big problem with violence, caused by drugs which are smuggled in. in the last year, new measures have been introduced here and at other jails to try to crack down on this crime behind bars. airport—style security is in place, including x—ray scanners and metal detectors. right, the scanner‘s going to start... now there are plans to do the same with prisons across the country. the latest in a series of government pledges of money for the criminaljustice system. this is part of a package of measures that have been announced in recent days, you've got 20,000 extra police, you've seen £2.5 billion invested in 10,000 new prison places and we've seen this announcement about improving security.

taken together, these represent a really strong commitment to law and order. there will also be more technology to detect and block mobile phones. they're supposed to be banned. spice in a jailhouse! footage like this of a prisoner high on drugs was filmed on a mobile. it's shameful that prisons have deteriorated so badly that they've become centres of crime and violence and drugs. and now the government has to pour good money after bad to try and solve a problem that they have created. and labour accused the prime minister of tinkering at the edges while faced with a prisons emergency caused by austerity. june kelly, bbc news. andrea albutt is the president of the prison governors' association — shejoins me from gower.

thank you forjoining us, your thoughts? the prison governors' association has lobbied for this technology for a number of years, we are in the vulnerable at the front—end developers and two drugs being brought in, it is the biggest way that drugs are brought in and this will help to combat it. the visit will help to combat the drugs, is it enough? it has to be part of a bigger package. once we stop a significant source of drugs into prison, it causes instability. because we have less drugs in prisons, there will be a greater demand and they will cost more, so it leads to bullying, taxing, debt and other things. we need to have sufficient resilience in staffing to deal with this spike that we will probably need. we also need really good robust drug services in prisons, there will probably be an

increased demand for support to come off drugs. we get a rich source of intelligence from this technology, so we intelligence from this technology, so we need to beef about the security departments in prisons to identify the key players and to try to support our drive to reduce drugs. it can'tjust be a £100 million one—off, we need recurring funding to maintain the kit and the impact it will have in the prison. one of the things that comes to mind about prison is also the security of your staff, prison staff. we have heard in the last few days just how violent prisons have become. there has been the announcement for the extra 10,000 spaces, what do you think of that as a package for the prisons? well, we can build bright new shiny prisons, we can put more people into prison for longer, but if our prisons continue to be

unstable, not decent, and i think it is important to say that the present state we have no need to have £500 million spent on it every year for ten years, £5 billion in order to just maintain it, so these are massive sums of money, so we can build bright new shiny prisons, but if we don't make the prisons we currently have decent, if we don't stabilise the environment, make it a place of rehabilitation, then the purpose of prison, to reduce reoffending, will not achieve it. we will leave it there, andrea albutt. thank you very much. thank you. bosses of more than 50 retailers, including asda and boots, have written to the chancellor urging him to change tax rules to boost the uk high street. the group said the tax had jumped by 50% since the 1990s and had contributed to some retailers going out of business. the treasury said it had announced a £3.6 billion fund last month to support our high streets

and town centres. here with me now is business presenter dominic o'connell. the high street is really struggling? retailers about 596 of gdp, but retailers pay 25% of all business rates, £8 billion a year. for a long time may have lobbied the government to change it, they say it is not fair, online retailers do not have to pay the same level of tax, its nest rates are typically about 8% of the turnover of a physical retailer, for an online retailer it is about 2%, so it is another thing pushing the high street out of business. we spoke to the boss of harrods, the biggest single business ratepayer in the uk, 18.5 billion p a year. they say their competition, house of fraser, has gone into administration. another query they have with the system is a take so

long to change, the rate has barely changed, they will not benefit from that for another seven years. thank you very much. a 16 year old boy has died after a stabbing in north—west london. police were called to munster square in camden last night, where the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. no arrests have been made. spending on school uniforms reaches a peak at this time of year and can be expensive for parents. in scotland, wales, and northern ireland, support is offered to the poorest families. the situation in england is different — bbc research discovered that more than 70 councils which have responded to a request for information, do not offer uniform grants. our consumer affairs correspondent, colletta smith, has been to huddersfield, to meet a group of parents taking matters into their own hands. ok, so tell me, how

does the scheme work? a parent comes in and they sign in. then, they put their donations into the donation boxes. then they grab a bag and then they look at the items and take what they need. there are about 5,000 items to choose from. and you can just help yourself? to whatever you need. what did you manage to get today? pumps, trousers and jumpers. as they get older, they get more expensive. i think it's good because instead of buying it, you can just get it. we're coming into drop off our old school clothes because then other people could borrow it. nothing goes to waste, everybody can come and bring things that no longer fit their children and everybody else benefits. we've calculated the average uniform cost this year — £210 per primary school student and £250 per secondary school pupil.

but if parents are able to buy plain items at supermarkets, they can make some big savings, as much as £118 per child. there is extra help available in some parts of the uk. wales, scotland and northern ireland give uniforms to students who get free school meals. but most councils in england do not offer direct support to low—income families. we need action now to reduce the cost of school uniforms and make sure families have the help available to afford the cost that they will inevitably have to deal with. westminster says they will introduce a law to make schools consider costs when there is time in parliament. kate is sick of waiting for the government to take action. she set up her own charity to fill the gap. last year we supported 855 families. and that saved approximately 50—£60,000. so that has skirts, trousers, t—shirts, jumpers...

most school uniforms look secondhand by the end of the first week. i think the stigma is changing for using recycled school uniforms because we're seeing so many people ask. we've found facebook groups organising uniform swaps schemes across the uk, with over 311,000 members. if we could do this type of project more across the country, i think we'd see huge savings. i've got a t—shirt... a little parent power is making a big difference here to help cut waste and keep costs down. colletta smith, bbc news, in huddersfield. we will bring you some breaking news in connection with the disappearance of nora quoirin, who disappeared while on holiday in malaysia with herfamily on while on holiday in malaysia with her family on the 11th of august. we are getting reports a body has been found in the search for the 15—year—old. these are live pictures you can see on screen, there have been around 350 people involved in

this search and a rewards has recently been offered, a £10,000 reward offered anonymously from northern ireland. just looking at a reaction to this news, the lucie blackman trust has tweeted, you can see the handle, we are aware of reports that a body has been found in the search for nora quoirin. we are urgently seeking clarification. so no confirmation that this is her, i must stress that, but a body has been found in connection with that appearance —— met with the disappearance of 15—year—old nora quoirin, who disappeared while on holiday with her family on the 11th of august. more details on this as we get it. ebola may soon be a "preventable and treatable" disease after a trial

of two drugs showed significantly improved survival rates. it's led scientists to say that it can no longer be called incurable. researchers working in the drc have found two treatments have almost halved the mortality rate. here with me now is sirjeremy farrar, director of the wellcome trust and co—chair of the world health organization's ebola therapeutics group. this is fantastic news? it is, it is on the back of the horror of west africa 2013, 2016, nobody should underestimate this epidemic, already almost 2000 people have died and the academic shows no signs of stopping at the moment. we found two vaccines and two treatments. it has the mortality rates, but it is more than that. we would often say that 60 or 70% of people with a boulder would die, with these two treatments, if you get in early, the death rate is less tha n you get in early, the death rate is less than 10% —— 60 or 70% of people with ebola would die. you have

mentioned the vaccines and the treatments, how close are we getting toa cure? treatments, how close are we getting to a cure? these treatments are a cure. if you come in early, less than 10% of people will die, and will be cured. there are some longer term consequences of a bowler which we should not underestimated, but having been faced with a 60 or 70% chance of dying, that could be reduced to 20 or even 10%. chance of dying, that could be reduced to 20 or even 1096. how do you get the people who need this? medics, trust in medics. measles in france, london and new york, ebola in the congo, trust is at the heart of public health. biomedical solution such as vaccines, drugs and diagnostics can and do play a huge role, but unless you build trust with the communities, public health cannot work, and that is the critical element we need to do in the congo. the medics operating in

these areas hit by ebola also working on a very dangerous environment? how easy is it for them to get to people who need the treatments? very difficult, there are no roads and passage is difficult during the rainy season, this is an area of the democratic republic of the congo which has been neglected and disenfranchised, their armed groups, violence, violence directed at health—care workers, let alone looking after patients with ebola, which is terrifying in itself. you put that altogether and my heart goes out to health care workers in the dlc, we own them all a tremendous tribute. and then to do a tremendous tribute. and then to do a clinical trial isjust a tremendous tribute. and then to do a clinical trial is just remarkable. thank you very much, and congratulations. great news. in a moment the weather

but first let's here's victoria derbyshire with what she's got coming up in her programme at ten. if you are a parent, how much do you spendin if you are a parent, how much do you spend in school uniform? the average is £230 per child. the bbc has done research looking at ways you can save money and sometimes half that cost. and we will need the former first lady of somaliland, a trained midwife, trained in britain, a vocal opponent of female genital mutilation and an fgm survivor herself. i was faced with a woman on a table who was in labour, i was trying to get the baby out, through her pyrenean, through her birth passage, which had been so damaged and deformed i did not know what to do. it brought to the surface my own pain, my own experience, all what i had gone through when this had been done to me at the age of eight. join

us done to me at the age of eight. join us live at 10am on bbc two, the bbc news channel and online. let's catch up with the weather, here's carol. good morning everyone. looking at a mixture of sunshine and showers, some heavy showers across parts of south—east england in the english channel, tending to fight, as will those across north—west england and wales, through the afternoon, shower is becoming more isolated in the north and east. temperature rise, any prolonged spells of sunshine, getting up to about 22 degrees. through the latter pa rt about 22 degrees. through the latter part of the afternoon, the club will build, we see showers coming into the south—west, they will be replaced by prolonged spells of rain and strengthening winds through the night. in the west, temperatures are holding up, in the east, under clear skies, it will be a cooler night, especially in rural areas, temperatures falling to 2—3d but we start with sunshine forcing tomorrow. short lived, we've got

cloud and rain spilling in from the west, gusty winds round the south western approaches in the english channel and at the same time, rain coming ina channel and at the same time, rain coming in a western scotland and northern ireland, that will be thundery. as a result, temperatures down a touch on today. hello, this is bbc news with lu kwesa burak. the headlines... we've got some news coming in, the unemployment figures, average earnings increasing by 3.7% compared to 3.4% in the previous month, according to the office for national statistics. you'll get more detail on this in the breakfast briefing but unemployment has risen by 31,000 two1.3 but unemployment has risen by 31,000 twoi.3 3,000,003 but unemployment has risen by 31,000 two 1.3 3,000,003 months to the

month ofjune, the earnings have increased, unemployment figures risen by 31,000 two 1.33 million to the month ofjune. let's return to the month ofjune. let's return to the headlines on bbc news. first in line for a trade deal with the us — one of president trump's closest advisors says america will back the uk after brexit. calls to ban drivers using their mobiles hands—free — a group of mps says it's just as dangerous as using your phone behind the wheel. hong kong airport re—opens after protests — but chief executive, carrie lam warns activists they risk pushing the city into an "abyss". the lucie blackman trust, who are supporting the family of nora quoirin, say there are reports that a body has been found in the search for the teenager, who went missing in malaysia more than a week ago.

more money to boost security inside prisons — to tackle drugs and mobile phones smuggling remembering woodstock 50 years on — we'll hear from the couple who came to represent the spirit of the festival. and coming up — the university that's banning the sale of burgers, to try and fight global warming. time now for the morning briefing, where we bring you up to speed on the stories people are watching, reading and sharing. let's start with a story that a lot of viewers are interested in — it's currently our most read story online. drivers could be banned from using hands—free mobile phones in england and wales. the commons transport select committee say current laws give the "misleading impression" that hands—free options are safe. they warn that using a hands—free device creates the same risks of collision as using a mobile phone behind the wheel. mps want a public consultation

on the proposal to be published by the end of 2019. bbc breakfast spoke to darell martin, whose brother was killed by a driver texting on his phone whilst behind the wheel, and the road safety campaigner rebecca ashton — who started by explaining some of the difficulties of bringing in a ban on hands free devices. the problem at the moment is enforcing that so we welcomed the ban but we need to make sure it's going to be enforced properly. i'm sure people watching this morning thinking there are essential because i need to make and as the aa said its the call home to say i'm going to be late so you don't rush. what

about in that circumstance, are there any times where making a call ina car there any times where making a call in a car is safe to do or necessary? no, there is not. straight answer, no, we can always pull over, we can a lwa ys no, we can always pull over, we can always stop at services to make a phone call, we managed before mobile phones, we shouldn't be using it now. when you think about it, when you're making a phone call, you are distracted from the task of driving, you are totally distracted, you are thinking about who you're talking to, what you're going to say and the conversation goes on, you can't multitask, your brain can only give 100% to one thing. if you're asking it to do two things you are looking for trouble. what about other things that we have in our cars, satnav apps and all the rest of it? what would you say about that? everything that you do other than focusing on driving is a distraction so you really have to limit your distractions to what you're going to be doing and how you're going to be doing it. ithink be doing and how you're going to be doing it. i think most people know now when you said i satnav it will tell you not to move it when you are moving, do everything when stopped

so there are distractions in a car but we need to limit them and one way we can all do it is not using our mobile scans free. what about the people and i'm sure there are some watching today who rely on using a phone for business or work, whatever it might be and have to travel quite a bit? i suppose, whatever it might be and have to travel quite a bit? isuppose, how do they manage to balance those things together when they are dry to provide for themselves and for their family by doing that business and they have to do it on the road and be on their phone? we've got used to it, haven't we? 20 or 30 years ago we didn't have this technology that we didn't have this technology that we have now and people managed so i think it's possible to do, let's plan breaks, stops in ourjourney is where we can't make a phone call and speak to people and we're not saying, never communicate with anybody, just don't do it when you're driving. i want to ask for your point of view because i know you're listening and lots of people will be watching this morning with a huge amount of sympathy for you. what is your advice to people, do you think we really need to set up,

ta ke you think we really need to set up, take stock and really change our attitude towards driving? yes, to be honest, i think it needs to come to the point where everyone, you kind of shame people into not using their phone at the wheel because i think everyone before the drink driving laws to compact people would say i would have a cheeky half and this and that, it's the same kind of situation. the same with drink driving and using your phone is not everyone drinks and drives but everyone drinks and drives but everyone uses a phone and if there was a total public shaming and culture change of address the situation but while people think i'm just doing this, making a call, they just doing this, making a call, they just doing this, making a call, they just do it moment is what kills people. just an update on the breaking news, developing story, we are waiting for more details regarding the missing teenager nora quoirin. she went missing in malaysia on the 11th of august. there we re malaysia on the 11th of august. there were reports earlier a body had been

found. we waited for clarification that there was indeed a body, we just heard from local sources but there has been confirmation that police had confirmed a body has been found and a little bit more information coming in saying the bodyis information coming in saying the body is likely to be that of 15—year—old nora quoirin. this is coming from the lucie blackman trust, they've been following and we have been following this story very closely. a body found in the search and secondly, the body is likely to be that of 15—year—old nora quoirin. that is coming in from the lucie blackman trust. more details here in a statement, let me take you through this. it says the lucie blackman trust can confirm a body has been found in the search for nora quoirin, those are live pictures you can see. at this time we cannot confirm it as nora however it sadly

seems likely. the investigations are underway to confirm identity and cause of death. the charity will update as soon as possible and again, calls for respect to the family at such a difficult time. a little bit more detail in the search for the missing teenager nora quoirin. we'll give you more on this as we get it. you can see some of the personnel, the rescuers that have come in to try and help search for her. nora had learning difficulties. there was a lot of concern from her family that she should be out there on her own, a lot of stimulus around her and lost also in very thick, notorious malaysia jungle. we'll get more details on the body that has been found and as the lucie blackman trust says, investigations are underway already to confirm the

identity and the cause of death. more as we get it. let's go back to the morning briefing. now this is a story that has got people talking online. a university is banning the sale of burgers to try to fight global warming. goldsmiths, which is part of the university of london, is removing all beef products from sale. the university will also charge a 10p levy on bottled water and single—use plastic cups. the changes will come in to force in september. joe learn, the goldsmiths student union president, was asked on the today programme whether a university should be imposing lifestyle choices on its students. of course its reducing choice. news outlets like guido fawkes, right—wing sensationalists out there saying left wing loonies ban hamburgers but that's missing the point i think.

stopping the sale of beef was a symbolic gesture. this thing came out of the ipcc report last october, we have 12 years to combat the climate emergency, it's not something small, it is a catastrophe that we have on our hands if we don't intervene. what you're saying is you admit banning beef burgers is tokenistic but it's important to show the direction of travel, show willingness that you acknowledge there is a problem. i wouldn't say it was tokenistic, i would say we are taking responsibility for our share of carbon emissions but as well as preventing the sale of beef we've moved our endowment fund, £2.5 million to an ethical fund, that won't be involved in the production of fossil fuels, we're going to renewable energy, phasing out plastics, as we say, solar panels. when a lot of people talk about this and the ipcc came along, the committee on climate change, said this is going to cost £1 trillion over the next by 2050, and there'll be

some big choices for example, beef is all very well but things like replacing gas central heating in 25 million homes, ijust wonder if goldsmith said were going to revamp our building and do things like put in insulation and replace gas heating would the student body be prepared to pay higher tuition fees in order to make those really significant changes? i don't believe they would, i believe the vast body of students want free education to be honest. ok, so you wouldn't pay, the point is you banned beef but the really tough decisions you think people are going to have to make sacrifices, you're suggesting you don't think they would. the promise is that we'll go carbon neutral by 2030, that gives us a long time to move towards that, i don't think it's going to be an immediate cost this year, i think over the next ten years we factor in these costs. do you think your generation is 100% focused on 2050, 2030 as you

suggested is the earlier date yet actually you represent a generation who are prepared to have a different conversation amongd people your age? i absolutely do, otherwise, as i say we have a catastrophe, we have to make the sacrifices. let's have a look at the most read story. get back to number seven, it was increasing, it was at number eight earlier but basically, people who want you to stop having babies. when you start reading about some of the reasons why these anti—mentalism, that's what it's cold, this group of people want you to stop having babies, some of the reasons are basically, they don't wa nt to reasons are basically, they don't want to punish the children, world

is they don't want children to suffer, the world is cruel, this concept of consent, they worry about over populism. —— anti—natalism. and also the environment, very closely echoing some sentiments echoed and put across in an interview with the duke and duchess of sussex recently, who said they were going to restrict having children to just two. but i don't know whether you agree, this is what they said, in this piece, that people with mental health issues shouldn't be having children either. yes, it's a fascinating report that's been done by the bbc. saving the earth, many people could agree with that and if you just scroll to the bottom, one of the key sayings and phrases is to do the best you can, be kind and don't procreate. there you go. why don't you read it and make your own mind

up. that's your briefing here on bbc news. sport now and time for a full round up from the bbc sport centre. sally is there! good morning... andy murray says he was disappointed to lose on his return to singles tennis, but that disappointment is a good thing as he continues what looks to be a miraculous comeback from major hip surgery. he says he's taking things slowly, and will only play doubles at the us open later this month — after losing to richard gasquet in cincinnati. marc edwards reports. it's been a long seven months for andy murray but the former world number one was finally back where he belongs — playing singles. opposite him, three—time grand slam semifinalist richard gasquet. plenty of nerves, plenty of rustiness and the worst possible start for murray. first point double fault and broken in his first game. it was a first set that followed logic more than fairytale. murray's french opponent, a former world number seven, wasn't in the mood for favours or losing to the guy

who'd just had hip surgery. 6—4 to gasquet. the second set showed more glimpses of the old murray magic. trailing 40—0 and 2—2 down, he reeled off some sumptuous shots to show the cincinnati crowd the encouragement on his comeback. a more hard—fought set, yes, but same result. ultimately, it wasn't to be. gasquet proving too strong, 6—4, 6—4. disappointment in relief, but pain—free with a smile on his face — welcome back, sir andy. marc edwards, bbc news. i was always worried, what would i do with myself without tennis? but actually, once i got rid of the pain i realised i didn't need tennis. tennis wasn't the most important thing for me. i'm obviously happy to be back playing. you know, thought it may be would have changed my perspective completely on things but i'm sitting here disappointed, which i think is probably a good thing. eddiejones had a few tricks up his sleeve when he named his england squad for next months rugby world

cup. uncapped bath wing rory mcconnochie earned a shock call—up — he only switched from the shorter sevens form of the game a year ago. another surprise is northampton's lewis ludlam, his rise has been similarly meteoric — joining the training squad for the first time injune. in terms of who misses out — there's no place for the former joint—captain dylan hartley, which means owen farrell will take sole charge injapan and perhaps the biggest omission is worcester‘s ben te'o who was involved in an off—field incident with harlequin's mike brown at a training camp in italy. brown also misses out. eddie jones' squad selection providing plenty for this morning's papers to pore over. ‘world cup worry” is the headline in the guardian, they sayjones is worried about off—field behaviour ahead of japan.

the telegraph sastones has made a ”big gamble”. and in the daily mail this morning england's world cup winning head coach sir clive woodward questions eddiejones‘ decision to only name two scrum halves. he says other than that, he thinks that squad is great! so that's england...wales meanwhile have had a huge setback. gareth anscombe is injured and will miss the world cup completely. he would have been their first choice fly half, but went off injured in wales' defeat to england at twickenham on sunday. it's been confirmed that he's damaged ligaments in his knee. this time tomorrow we'll be getting very excited about the second ashes test, weather permitting of course. and jofra archer's declared himself 100% fit to play at lord's. he's expected to play instead of fellow fast—bowlerjimmy anderson who picked up an injury in the first test. it would be archer's first test cap having excelled in one—day cricket so far for england.

the next commonwealth games in birmingham will be the most significant so far for female and para athletes. it's been announced this morning that three new sports will be included in 2022 — they are women's t20 cricket, beach volleyball and para table tennis. it was a fact, it wasn't the factor, it was the amount of work that had been done and for these exports will do for commonwealth and the young people, especially the young girls here today so all of that was taken into consideration, so yes history is being made, the largest paralympic sports event but we have more medals for women than for men, that's another plus for us. and on social media today, we really liked chris sutton's analogy on 5 live of the job that faces the new chelsea

boss frank lampard. has one hell of a job, you look at it as has one hell of a job, you look at itasa has one hell of a job, you look at it as a whole, this season, losing the best player, it's like going into an olympic rowing final come up against the biggest in the best and being asked to compete in a dinghy. that's all the sport for now, more coming up at 11:15am. goodbye. police in malaysia searching for a missing 15 year old girl from london say they have found a body. nora quorin went missing while on a family holiday on august 4th. police are still in the process of identifying the body. our south asia correspondent howard johnson is in seremban malaysia(os) is in seremban malaysia just in the last 20 minutes or so, in relation police searching for nora say they have found a body but they haven't confirmed if it is

nora. but they did cite the body was two kilometres away from this resort where she was staying with her family when she went missing. the body was someone with a white skin and female, we've also heard from the lucie blackman trust, the charity that had been working with the family, they are a charity set up the family, they are a charity set up to help british nationals in crisis abroad, they say the trust can confirm that a body has been found in the search for nora quoirin, at this time we cannot confirm it is nora however it sadly seems likely. investigations are underway to confirm identity and cause of death. what we also heard about an hour ago is that this all came about, brighter are colleagues here in this area had seen an indian man approached a checkpointjust up the road, he said he'd found a body ina the road, he said he'd found a body in a location in a palm oil plantation nearby, around two kilometres from the main road, he presumably is being quizzed right

now by the police. howard, we will get more from you later, thank you. the office for national statistics has released its monthly unemployment figures. unemployment has risen by 31,000 to 1.33 million in the three months tojune. average earnings increased by 3.7% compared with 3.4% in the previous month. joining us now is theo legget, our business correspondent. what do those figures mean, what are the headlines? they're actually reasonably strong, the headline figure is that over three months, this is done on a three month average, the unemployment rate rose to 3.9%, slightly higher than expected, people were expecting it to hold steady at 3.8% but it still means there is a record number of people in employment, 32.8 million. still 115,000 newjobs created during the period, against that

unemployment up by 31,000 two one point three 3 million but what's interesting is what's happening with pay, total earnings growth rose by 3.7% pay, total earnings growth rose by 3.796 in pay, total earnings growth rose by 3.7% in the months tojune. that's the highest rate sincejune 2008, the highest rate sincejune 2008, the highest rate basically since the financial crisis and considerably higher than the figure we had the equivalent period last month. even though we had figures recently that show the economy as a whole is under pressure, that growth declined by 0.2% pressure, that growth declined by 0.296 in pressure, that growth declined by 0.2% in the three months to the end ofjune, the labour market broadly speaking is a more robust shape. the prime minister should be happy with that in sajid javid should be happy with those figures. i think in the current situation it's probably as strong as you will get. ok, thank you. we arejust strong as you will get. ok, thank you. we are just going to strong as you will get. ok, thank you. we arejust going to remind you of the breaking news this hour. the lucie blackman trust has just sent a

statement regarding the search for a 15—year—old nora quoirin. they have confirmed a body has been found in the search for the 15—year—old. i cannot confirm it is nora however they go on to say it sadly seems likely. nora, you can see, was born with learning difficulties, you can see her on screen now. investigations are underway to confirm identity and cause of death. we have heard that the body, few details, is that the body was white and female. more when we get it. now, the weather with simon. we had some showers this morning across north—west england, the south—west of england, some of them on the heavy side but for many of us we start the morning with some sunshine and foremost, today is going to be a day of sunshine, fair weather cow developing here and there. still a

few showers likely across scotland, perhaps eastern parts of england might catch a few showers here as well and that could be a bit more cloud to the south—west of england with the odd shower, most dry with sunny spells and temperatures getting up to 17—21 possibly 22 degrees, a tad warmer than it was yesterday. through this evening some clear skies towards northern and eastern parts, a few showers drifting through a northern england, more cloud towards the south and west with some rain, that will keep temperatures up but in the north—east, it will turn quite chilly into wednesday morning. temperatures down to between li—7d, a tumbling feel first thing but you have some sunshine, elsewhere cloud and rain spreading its way north and east, some of the rain could be quite heavy, particularly for wales, the midlands, eastern parts of england during the afternoon. some rain pushing its way through western scotland, the west of northern ireland, some clearance on the far west of england and wales later. that weather system bringing the

rainbow clear to the east, we've got a ridge of high pressure developing for thursday and that will quieten things down, thursday looking like a largely trite day, some sunny spells, the odd shower here and there particularly throughout the morning, drifting south and east. foremost, try it with sunshine, temperatures getting up to around 18-22dc. but it's temperatures getting up to around 18—22dc. but it's friday and into the end of the week when things go downhill, this area of low pressure moving in for friday, this weather front pushing a giving us heavy rain and another weather system pushing up and another weather system pushing up from the south—west giving us more very up from the south—west giving us more very wet weather for england and wales, strengthening winds on saturday. this is friday. you can see as the rain pushes from west to east some heavy downpours for a time, eventually, some clearance across northern ireland, maximum temperatures 18—20, 201 degrees. if you've got any plans like last

weekend there is likely to be some heavy rain, strong winds for some of us, could well be disruption to travel or any planned events. well worth staying tuned to the forecast, details may change slightly. goodbye.

hello. it's tuesday. it's ten o'clock. i'm victoria derbyshire. police in malaysia confirm that a body has been found in the search for the missing irish teenager nora quoirin. a charity working with the family says it is likely to be the body of the 15 year old. the police are due to hold a news conference at any moment — we'll bring that to you live. drivers should be banned from making hands—free calls — that's according to a committee of mps. what do you think? and we meet the former first lady of somaliland — trained as a midwife here in the uk — who's a vocal opponent of female genital mutilation and an fgm survivor herself. i was faced with a woman on the table who was in labour and i was trying to get the baby out through her perineum,
