tonight at ten, local councils plan for a ‘no deal‘ brexit, highlighting their concerns for public services. suppliers warn there could be some food shortages, hitting schools, care homes and hospitals. there will be challenges around availability, there will be challenges around many things. currency fluctuations, and impact on pricing. so, how will councils maintain services, in the event of a no deal brexit? also tonight... as the widow of police officer andrew harper pays tribute to her husband, a man is charged tonight with his murder. prince andrew says he's appalled by the crimes of his former friend and convicted paedophile, jeffrey epstein. we have a special report on white

nationalism in america. what drives the ideology? and they're looking around and saying, where is my white privilege? i can't get a job. you know. but why should there be white privilege, though? well, because we created this country. and, one of the biggest challenges facing farming. how is british agriculture, coping with climate change? and coming up on sportsday on bbc news. anthony martial gives manchester united the lead at molyneux but can they keep wolves at bay for their second win of the season? good evening. local authorities across the country have outlined their concerns over the impact on public services if the uk leaves

the european union without a deal. documents seen by the bbc highlight fears over shortages of some foods, affecting schools, care homes, hospitals and prisons. it comes after a secret government report was leaked this weekend, warning of fuel, food and medicine shortages if there is no deal. here's our economics editor faisal islam. the fully—stocked shelves of one of the depots that helps feed britain. this warehouse in slough is one of the largest providers of food for care homes, schools, hospitals and prisons, and here they are now having to prepare yet again for no—deal brexit and not being sure of being able to obtain some of their staples. a lot of this stuff like your chopped tomatoes, your chickpeas, your baked beans, the majority of those products are manufactured in spain or italy, so therefore you have to import them, otherwise you won't have the volumes that you need. britain's food supply takes for granted these complex international supply chains.

and for central government there is no specific problem in general about a no—deal brexit, even a worst—case scenario, but the internal deliberations of local councils, charged with delivering those services, and seen by the bbc, show that there are very specific concerns and some extraordinary forms of planning to keep the wheels turning. the plans and registers of risk from around the country do echo the government assessment that higherfood prices and a restriction of choice will be the main impact, but some go further. including north tyneside, saying no deal means a high risk of increased use of tins and frozen goods and special dietary requirements being difficult to meet. north ayrshire council anticipating the government might need to amend school nutrition standards. in bedford, care homes advised to hold four—to—six weeks supply of nonperishable foodstuffs.

and in hastings, there's a reference to "there might be the need for rationing." councils responsible for school and care home meals were told by government earlier this year to prepare for reasonable worst—case scenarios for no—deal brexit. these documents are the result of that exercise and one top representative of caterers say they are necessary. i don't believe they're going over the top, i really do believe they need to plan hard on this. so there will be an instant, i believe, where certain nutritional standards will have to be altered and adapted for a short period of time. because of no deal? schools and hospitals? i believe schools and hospitals. would care homes stockpile? they will have to stockpile, yes, but is whether they've got the space to do that. rationing, a bit over the top? unless it's long term. yes, i think rationing is a bit over the top, unless it's long term. back at the depot, bidfood, one of the biggest suppliers, have meticulously gone through its 30,000 products and identified 400 at risk from a no—deal brexit on a red—amber—green scale. they say they are ready.

we have identified the key customers, the vulnerable customers, that we need to take care of. we've got the plans in place to carry on providing a great service. there will be challenges around availability, there will be challenges around delays at ports, there will be challenges around currency fluctuations and the impact on price. we have been here before. they had to buy up refrigerated warehouse capacity in march that was basically a waste of money. they will prepare again in october, but these are the big boys of the food supply industry. the question is about the smaller links in the food supply chain. and local public services, for example the new wave of hospitals, are simply not built to hold stockpiles of food like this. the government yet to come knocking here. at the end of the day we are the people who deliver the product to the hospitals, the schools, the prisons, etc. i would have you on speed dial! are you getting that problem?

no, we have had no direct engagement yet as the person who holds the contracts with those end—users. the government reiterated it sees no impact on food supply from a no—deal brexit, but local councils at least are privately planning for scenarios that do affect schools, hospitals, prisons and food banks. the longer any no deal stand—off with the eu lasts, the more likely they will become. is this prudent contingency planning by local councils or is this scaremongering? 0pinion must be divided on that. i think it is sensible planning. local authority documents do not content the central contention of the government that there will be no overall issue around food supply but the price impact could be there from no—deal brexit and also freedom of choice over different ingredients and different products may not be there as well. the reason is central

government got local government to do these kind of analysis and local government is legally responsible for delivering these services to high standard to some of our most vulnerable fellow citizens. so yes we are in a better position in terms of and resilience for no deal but many people will be looking at some of what is contained in these documents and thinking that that sounds a bit hairy. the key thing is the word ready, we are ready but that does not mean they will not be an impactand that does not mean they will not be an impact and some that could fall on the most vulnerable. thank you. well, borisjohnson reiterated again today that britain will be ready to leave the european union at the end of october, "deal or no deal." the prime minister is meeting european leaders later this week to push for a new brexit agreement, and tonight has written to the president of the european council, donald tusk. in the letter, he makes it clear any new withdrawal agreement cannot include the irish backstop, the mechanism designed to prevent a hard border after brexit on the island of ireland.

here's our political correspondent, ben wright. his government wants a new brexit deal, but is ramping up plans to leave the eu without one. visiting a hospital, borisjohnson brushed away a leaked government document saying a no deal brexit could cause widespread disruption. there may well be bumps in the road. but we will be ready to come out on october the 31st, deal or no deal. the prime minister has not given up on getting a new deal and he will meet the leaders of france and germany this week hoping they might yet bend and rewrite the existing agreement. our friends and partners on the other side of the channel are showing a little bit of reluctance at the moment to change their position. that's fine, i'm confident that they will. but in the meantime, we have to get ready for a no deal outcome. the deadlock is over ireland and the current plan

for avoiding a hard border, whatever happens after brexit. it's called the backstop and the eu says it is essential. borisjohnson repeated his demand that the backstop be scrapped altogether. he called it anti—democratic and said it risked weakening essential and non—negotiable. in its place mrjohnson again proposes alternative arrangements, but he says the uk is ready to look constructively and flexibly at extra commitments if needed. a nod to possible compromise, perhaps. but there is very little time for both sides to bridge the divide and number ten is trying to put pressure on the eu by saying the uk will leave at the end of october, deal or not. and by insisting there is nothing parliament can do to stop that happening. but opposition parties have other ideas. jeremy corbyn wants mps to bring down the government and back him as an interim prime minister who would then delay brexit and call an election. we will do everything necessary to stop a disastrous no deal.

for which this government has no mandate. but the lib dems and potential tory rebels have said they will not put mr corbyn in number ten. it is clear that you do not have the cross party support in parliament to be a caretaker prime minister. so would labour back someone who can? all the constitutional precedents are for a government collapses, it is the leader of the opposition that takes over. and he made this uncompromising appeal to mp5. if you are serious about stopping a no deal brexit then back my motion of no confidence to stop this government taking us over a cliff edge on the 31st of october. the labour leader was in corby, a marginal middle seat, setting out his plans for number ten, which is where he hopes the brexit turmoil might take him. ben wright, bbc news. police investigating the death of pc andrew harper in berkshire last week have tonight charged a 20—year—old man with murder.

jed foster, from reading, is accused of killing the constable and the theft of a quad bike. pc harper's widow, lissie, has written an open letter paying tribute to him, saying he "was the kindest, loveliest, most selfless person you will ever meet." our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, has more. at the crossroads by pc andrew harper died close colleagues and members of the roads policing team that he was part of struggling to control their emotion. a team in deep mourning for a much loved fellow officer. tonight his wife lissie released a tribute to her husband of just 28 lissie released a tribute to her husband ofjust 28 days describing him as brave, funny, kind and selfless. i want to be angry, she said, but yourjob took you from us but i know that you loved it and a lwa ys but i know that you loved it and always wanted to keep everyone safe especially me. my heart is broken

without you, my sweetheart, you have them printed so much love and laughter onto all our lives and we are honoured for that. she said he was perfect and thanked him for the happiest 13 years of her life. as a traveller side two miles from where pc harper was killed forensic officers continue to work in a static caravan while the crown prosecution service announced that jed foster, a 20—year—old from reading, had been charged with the murder of pc harper and the theft of a quad bike on thursday nightjust before he was killed. jed foster will appear in court at reading magistrates tomorrow morning. daniel sandford, bbc news. police in northern ireland say a bomb which exploded near the irish border was a sinister attempt to lure officers and soldiers into the area to murder them. it's believed that a dissident republican group was behind the attack in county fermanagh. 0ur correspondent emma vardy is at the scene for us tonight.

it seems the police had a very lucky escape. they did, police have said officers are lucky to be alive after the second device detonated this morning. the force believes it is either the abbey mac new ira or the continuity ira who are behind the attack and it is the fifth attempt by dissident republicans to try to kill police officers just this year. police pointed out today they have noticed an increase in the activity of the continuity ira over the last year and that group was behind a very similar incidentjust a few weeks ago. but what really marked today was the very frustrated reaction of police and the words of the deputy chief constable of northern ireland, who warned and made a wider plea, really, to the politicians of northern ireland over the lack of devolved government at stormont, a situation which has continued for more than two and a half years now since power—sharing collapsed. he warned that with that, the terror threat, the uncertainties

over brexit, that northern ireland is in danger of seeing the progress it has made slipping back. thank you, emma vardy in county fermanagh. prince andrew has attempted to distance himself from his formerfriend, jeffrey epstein, as further questions are raised about his association with the convicted paedophile. buckingham palace says the prince is "appalled" by new allegations epstein faced of sexual abuse and trafficking in young girls. the statement was issued after a video emerged of the prince at epstein‘s home, shortly after the financier served a prison sentence for a sex offence with a minor. 0ur royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, has the latest. they are images which will haunt him. prince andrew at the home of a convicted paedophile, caught on camera as young women come and go, despite andrew's apparent efforts to be as discreet as possible. the video was taken outside the new york home of andrew's friend, jeffrey epstein, in 2010. two years after his conviction.

and there at the door, amid the comings and goings, the queen's second son. epstein was an associate of andrew for a number of years. it is even suggested andrew took him once to balmoral. this photograph was taken in 2001, andrew at one of epstein‘s parties with a then 17—year—old girl called virginia roberts. her claim to have had sex with andrew was dismissed by a us court. 2008 - jeffrey epstein faced court in the united states charged with having sex with a minor and procuring an underage girl for prostitution. he was sentenced to 18 months in prison. in december 2010, soon after his release, andrew was photographed with epstein walking in central park, new york. the video of andrew at epstein‘s home was taken the following day. last month, epstein was arrested on federal charges of sex trafficking minors. he was found dead in his prison cell

on the 10th of august. prince andrew has always denied that he has been involved in any impropriety with underage girls. last night, buckingham palace issued this. the denials of impropriety are emphatic. but what the palace cannot do is explain why prince andrew chose to continue his friendship with jeffrey epstein or why he was at his home in new york. it all raises questions about the judgment demonstrated by the queen's second son. nicholas witchell, bbc news, buckingham palace. this weekend, members of neo—fascist and white supremacist groups held a rally in the us city of portland, in the state of oregon.

human rights activists in america have been calling for more to be done to curb hate speech. but on social media, donald trump chose to condemn the anti—facist groups that operate in portland. 0ur correspondent aleem maqbool was at the rally, and has been looking at the state of white nationalism in america. chanting: usa, usa, usa! these days, members of neofascist groups in the us are definitively on the march. as we accompanied them during this show of strength on the streets of portland, they flashed white power symbols at us. they said they were there to protest against the militancy of the far left. ijust want people to understand that these masked people running around, committing acts of violence and, you know, criminal activity, needs to come to an end. and there are often masked antifascist activists out to confront white supremacists when they march, though the two sides were mostly kept apart in portland.

chanting: go home, nazis! it is unquestionably those linked with far right ideologies who have been responsible for the most deadly violence of late. the most recent being the murders of 22 people in el paso, a majority latino city, killed by a white gunman who told officers he wanted to shoot as many mexicans as possible. one of the numerous groups that espouses white supremacist ideas is the league of the south, who allowed me to attend one of their gatherings, though not film inside. what is their reaction to the el paso attack? i really am surprised it doesn't happen more often because you look at these young white guys, they have been displaced. they are told that they are, you know, part of the patriarchy. they are told that they have this white privilege, and they are looking around, and they are saying, "where's my white privilege? i can't get a job", you know, and i knowa lot of young... why should there be

white privilege, though? because, well, because we created this country. and they claim they are not racist, just as they claim they don't want what happened in el paso. well, the people inside that room say they're against violence, but the rhetoric they use is certainly hateful and could be seen as something that inspires others who do want to use violence. and their own history in this group suggests they are not entirely peaceful. it was a member of this group that was jailed for the brutal beating of an african—american man after the now notorious supremacist rally in charlottesville. so why the apparent rise in white supremacy now? in the ‘90s, christian picciolini was a prominent leader and recruiter in the white power movement. he has since denounced neo—nazism and works to deradicalise supremacists. for so many, you know, of the ‘80s and ‘90s, they were on the fringes.

it was a large organisation, it was a deadly organisation, but it was not part of the mainstream by any means. and now, today, where we are seeing the rhetoric that, you know, i used to say 30 years ago, almost verbatim coming out of the president's mouth, they are tired of waiting. now they see it as an opportunity to act. this is a historic day right here. at the far right rally in portland, the uniform of choice for many was trump campaign paraphernalia. he may say he opposes white supremacy, but it's clear they think they've got the president on their side. aleem maqbool, bbc news, in portland, oregon. three years after the measles virus was virtually wiped out in the uk, the world health organization says it's back, and has removed the country's "measles—free" status. last year, there were almost 1,000 cases in england and wales, three times as many as the previous year. here's our health correspondent sophie hutchinson.

well done. it's hard to believe now, but little alba was dangerously ill earlier this year with measles. her mum says that, at one point, she thought she might even lose her. alba had been too little to be vaccinated against the disease. there was a day where she got really, really sick and that was when it hit me, then. i thought we might not be bringing her home. so, it went from being a very serious concern of losing sight, losing hearing, having brain damage because of it, to actually not having her here anymore. oh, my days! children are given the first mmr vaccination to protect against measles when they are 12 months old. the second dose comes just before going to primary school. but the latest figures suggest this autumn in england, one in seven children will begin primary school without their second dose of mmr. that increases to one in four children in london and,

even more worryingly, that 30,000 children in england have never had either dose and have no protection against the disease. if your child is completely unvaccinated against mmr, then the chances of them getting measles are very, very high. even though measles is now rare in this country because we have high uptake, when it comes, it spreads very quickly. it is the most infectious disease we know of, really. and so, it can get into a school and spread and pick out all those children who are unprotected very quickly. measles is highly infectious. it can lead to serious health complications such as deafness, learning disabilities, and cause fatal pneumonia. three years ago, there were so few cases in the uk, it was classed as having been eliminated, but that has changed. this year, there have been 231 cases. anti—vaccination campaigns on social media have been blamed. the prime minister is inviting companies to a summit to discuss it and asked gps to promote catch—up jabs. we are welcoming the government's

announcement today, but what we have not seen from the government is how these efforts will be funded. we need adequate funding to make sure that parents and the general public are aware of the importance of vaccines. this year, cases of measles have trebled globally, with outbreaks rising in the us, france, germany and italy. many agree that urgent action is needed to protect children like alba. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. farming leaders say climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing agriculture, with a recent un report highlighting the world's high consumption of meat and dairy produce, as a driver of global warming. for the first in our week long series — focus on farming — our environment and rural affairs correspondent, claire marshall, examines how uk farmers are coping, with the challenge of climate change. the rich produce of the fertile fens. more than a fifth of england's flowers and bulbs are produced here,

and more than a third of its fresh veg. but this is a man—made landscape. it's been drained for centuries. it's a constant battle to keep water levels down. climate change, with predictions of sea—level rise and flash flooding, could tip the balance. from up here, it's really clear to see just how vulnerable these areas of eastern england are. all that you've got protecting this land from the sea are these tiny little defences that, frankly, from up here, look quite puny. when the tide turned, the water ran over that bank... farmers here are worried. they want more investment. we need to make sure that our sea defences on the wash are fit for purpose for the next 50—100 years, whether that's adding a metre to them or widening them, strengthening them. but we should plan and start doing it now. at the moment, it's piecemeal. lincolnshire in june. this is what happens

when flood defences fail. the government has said it's put aside £2 billion for climate change. agriculture is a key driver of global warming. nitrogen in fertiliser is a potent greenhouse gas. —— nitrogen in fertilisers can be to emissions of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas. in the amazon, the astonishing rate of deforestation is largely fuelled by beef production. trees absorb carbon dioxide, but the cattle that have replaced the forest emit methane, which also warms the planet. the first prize goes to... we went to a country show to see what people thought. it worries me because, thinking about the future and my children and my grandchildren. we will have to change our farming practices. we will have to adapt to the changes that are happening. i'm not on a one—man crusade. i'm not a tree hugger. fred wanted to lower his farm's emissions, and so designed his own electric quad bike. he now exports to 20 countries.

we can't all stand back and anonymously throw our arms in this air and say, "this is not my problem", because this is our problem. you know, we are starting to see the problems occurring now in the environment. and we all have a responsibility to try to do something about this. scientists agree, saying humans must change how they use the land, or the current cycle of rising temperatures will never be broken. claire marshall, bbc news. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night.
