root is leading a bit of a charmed life? yes, typical kind of testimony where a batting side gets to this before lunch. the interesting thing is that actually decided to both and in september when it is quite sunny conditions. they decided to leave one bother to their attack. it has looked toothless and luck forjoe root. a straightforward catch and then the captain going 100 for a catch which maybe would have gone more easily for one night. joe root hasn't quite positive today and he might be thinking to himself, as he ventures lunch, with a bit of luck, better late than never. no luck for joe denly, a small score for him. of course, jason roy has dropped from the team here. in time, we will start to ponder where this will

leave the careers of some of his england test match players. today it isa england test match players. today it is a day where they are predominating with the bat. you mention were to be go from here after the dust has settled on this english summer. the ashes are gone, we know that. england 02/ the ashes are gone, england trying to motivate england themselves by the prospect of levelling the series, and root saying that some test places are on the line i estimate a media conference here and he would not definitely safe he was an ad. england's winter is coming up and it is very varied and they're playing in different positions. he wanted players to show some determination to play for the shirt and to pay for the occasion. england are to have a proud record, of not losing. 2—2 seems a lot better than 3—1. a one of the key issues that has to be the cat isjoe root himself understandably, he seemed pretty weedy heeding the

build—up to this test match. he has an overmanned player and if anybody could do at the break, it is fundamentally him. —— j could do at the break, it is fundamentally him. ——j had given him a couple breaks already. thank you. we will see the players coming back out very shortly after lunch. the england manager gareth southgate says he's concerned about their trip to bulgaria next month with the fear that his players could face racist abuse. the stadium will be partially closed for the game on 14th october. for the game on 14th october ecause of the racist behaviour of bulgaria fans earlier this year. because of the racist behaviour of bulgaria fans earlier this year. england's black players were subjected to monkey chants on their last visit to sofia in 2011. southgate says "we're aware that there is history there and we want to make sure that we're all prepared for what might happen and how we want to respond'. the fa is investigating a complaint of racial discrimination against former england women's boss mark sampson, although his current club stevenage say the allegations are unfounded. he was found to have used discriminatory language during his time with the national

side and was subsequently sacked after innapropraite conduct in a previous role came to light. league 2 stevenage say they conducted an internal investigation after the recent claim and found that their caretaker manager had no case to answer. it's going to be a busy few weeks for andy murray, he's down to play in three tournaments in as many weeks in china. he'd already agreed to play in zhuhai this month and then beijing and he's now accepted a wild card for the shanghai masters the week after. murray returned to singles action last month but he's yet to win a match on the main tour. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport figures released this morning

suggest there are almost 23,500 families and individuals who are homeless or at risk of being homeless in england who have experience of domestic abuse. it's the first full year the stats have been released. the homelessness charity crisis says it shows the government needs to offer more support to people forced to leave their homes because of domestic violence. john owen has been to meet peta who was left homeless after fleeing domestic abuse and is now living in temporary accommodation. good boy. peta lives in temporary accommodation in london, sharing a single room with her two—year—old son. space—wise, it is just difficult to have a normal upbringing for a child in a setting like this. it is just not normal. he has to eat dinner on the bed. he is restricted when it comes to playing, so itjust kind of makes it a little bit unfairfor him to. it a little bit unfairfor him. she says she is a victim of domestic abuse, which she first suffered some

years ago after she started a relationship with the man a relationship with a man who became violent towards her. i remember saying something to him like, "that's sort of stupid or that's quite silly" and he just got up and it was so unexpected and he just got up and slapped me across the face and i was just like, did you seriouslyjust do that? she says she became homeless after she was removed from the tenancy she shared from her abusive partner. with her abusive partner. i was staying around, moving around between family and friends‘s has. —— family and friends' houses. sometime later she became pregnant by another partner and began to experience a serious mental health problems. i actually became suicidal and actually wanted to terminate my pregnancy because of it. it was not easy. years later and i am still suffering because of it. she applied to the local authority for housing and was eventually offered temporary accommodation.

i was first given a property and a mother and baby unit and after that they even tried to fight against it she said that the decision to evict her on the ground that she had made herself intentionally homeless was overturned on appeal. but she was told that she would have to bid for another property and it could take yea rs. another property and it could take years. i was told that i had not made myself intentionally homeless and heat as your bidding number and that was it. they have not offered me anything else says to my needs and my son is now turning three and i have a bed in the kitchen, basically. having lived in this single room for more than two years, peta says it is dangerous for her and her child and it is having a serious effect on her mental health. i'm on antidepressants at the moment because of the situation. but living in this condition is not going to change anything. and the ones that are being abused by persons are also being abused by the system. peta is one of thousands of domestic

abuse customs who have suffered homelessness or been forced to use temporary accommodation. she, for one, feel that the system has let her down. john owen, bbc news. the prime minister of the bahamas has called hurricane dorian "an historic tragedy", saying no words are sufficient to describe it. during a televised national address, hubert minnis spoke of the grief his country was going through. ten days after the hurricane, officials say two—and—a—half thousand people have been registered as missing. gareth barlow reports. hurricane dorian devastated these islands, and thousands of people are still missing. day by day, rescue teams work to find the bodies of those killed, while the government works to ascertain the true extent of the disaster. mankind was no match for the power of mother nature. now this community is counting the cost. we recognise the extent of the devastation. we are not going to speculate on what the final numbers would be. we understand people

are concerned, and so are we. aid and government officials say around 5,000 people have been evacuated from the hardest—hit island groups. but thousands are still in urgent need of help. in an address to the nation, the bahamian prime minister hubert minnis detailed the destruction in the worst—hit areas. much of abaco as we knew it is decimated and no longer exists. floodwaters in the streets made them appear like the ocean. concrete structures were turned to dust, as if a massive bomb had exploded with atomic force. while international teams have rushed to help the bahamas, the trump administration has said it won't allow people from the islands currently living in the us to live and work there until it is safe for them to return.

but first there's still the unanswered question of how many people died and will never come home. gareth barlow, bbc news. a dutch court has acquitted a doctor in a high profile euthanasia case, involving a patient with severe dementia. the doctor — who administered a lethal drug three years ago — has now been cleared of failing to do enough to verify that the patient still wished to be euthanised. anna holligan has more. should someone who makes a decision when they are of sound mind be held to that decision when they are not? that was the question at the heart of this emotive trial. in 2016, the doctor slipped a sedative and to the patient‘s coffee. she lost confidence —— she lost consciousness

but then woke up and had to be outdone by her daughter and husband will given a lethal injection. they said that refusing to not go along with her wish it became deeply demented... translation: euthanasia isa demented... translation: euthanasia is a complex case, the court it is clear and the court had to look at what criminal law determines and whether the suspect, this doctor, committed euthanasia and whether she did it meticulously or whether it was a murder. euthanasia is designed temporarily patient, offering those enduring extreme and an ending suffering, the chance to decide when they went into their lives. but even ina they went into their lives. but even in a country where it has been legal for almost two decades, the practice

remains controversial and this trial first doctors and lawyers to confront a practical and moral dilemma. at what point do you stop checking whether a patient still wa nt to checking whether a patient still want to die? the prosecution is considering an appeal. translation: the court clearly has a different view than the prosecutor on some matters. we will take a close look at the differences and how the court formulated them and then decide how we will appeal. the majority of dutch people support the current and many see this decision is vital in protecting patients and doctors writes. it is absolutely true, to give you an example, have great and andi give you an example, have great and and i have said that if i will be any situation where this patient ended up, please help me and then at the same time i am sure that i will not enter into that situation because i will ask my doctor and an early stage to help with euthanasia.

as people are living longer and more likely to develop conditions that affect their ability to think and remember, this was considered an important test case. in establishing the limits of the existing euthanasia law. being in a loving relationship is something that enriches many people's lives, for those with learning disabilities, finding that special someone can be challenging. earlier this year, care providers were given guidance on how to best support them to find love. now there are calls for this to become mandatory, as jayne mccubbin reports. he was joanne's first love. this is lee. he's handsome. yeah. 0h, oh, he was fun. he loved running. they ran 10ks together, but being together was never easy as lee stayed in a supported living

care home with rules and a curfew. i could go on to the house and visit, but not to stay. you were never allowed to stay overnight? no. this photo was taken at a family wedding, the first and only night they spent together. this was taken two days later, the last ten kilometres they ran together. the next day, police rang joanne to say her fiance had died suddenly in his sleep. that he passed away. so the police knew to tell you as his fiancee that he passed away. he passed away. but as his fiancee, you were never allowed to stay with him. no. that must break your heart looking back at the time you missed. i know. so? it's wrong. because you're entitled to a relationship. but there are so many barriers to relationships for people with learning disabilities. this date night is all about trying to smash through them. he's my toyboy. i shouldn't have said that, but he's the best boyfriend i got in the world. andrew and eileen have found what everyone here wants, love.

joe is still looking. how is it going? amazing. i'm loving it. butjoe's search is more difficult now that his support hours have been cut. i used to get 211, but now only seven. only seven hours a week? oh, my goodness. that is a big drop. i do miss all my friends. because you can't see them as much? that is right. emma says she would love to find her prince, but she has been hurt before. some people let me down. it's difficult to find someone to trust. yeah. this is the finding that many support workers have to tread. —— the fine line. many are risk averse because the risks can be great. it is a tricky situation, yeah.

you've had training? yeah! the laugh speaks volumes. really good training does exist in lancashire. you feel sad and frightened with your partner, do you think that is good or bad? this summer, the cqc issued the first—ever guidance for staff, but training isn't mandatory. a £1 billion boost to social care was recently welcomed but councils say it isn't enough. i couldn't live without him. and the cost i am told, is the opposite of what andrew and eileen have, barren lives lived without love and without hope. to have a relationship, you aren't lonely anymore, and that's what kills people. being lonely. so having a good relationship is important. it's everything. it's everything, yeah! in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news... the prime minister denies lying to the queen and insists the uk will be ready for a no—deal brexit — despite government documents warning despite government documents warning that it could lead to food

and medicine shortages. who go on to be convicted falls to its lowest level the number of people investigated for rape who go on to be convicted falls to its lowest level since records were first compiled more than a decade ago. new figures reveal cancer survival rates in the uk remain below those of other high income countries. welcome to the business news. hundreds ofjobs have been secured at the ross—aythe shipyard in fife the eurozone gets a boost. john lewis swings into a loss in the a boost. first half of this year. sales of big ticket electrical and household products have been particularly weak. john lewis also warned that no preparations could fully offset the impact of a no—deal brexit.

economist at g+economics. she joins me now there further slashing the intrastate and providing stimulus was widely expected, butjust nine months ago the ec g said he foresaw the end of this. of ending negative interest rates, so what happened in the intervening nine months? it has an extraordinary day for the european central bank policy. this is also the penultimate meeting for this president, his eight year term finishes next month. it is the same way with the simpler challenges that the eurozone faced eight years ago during this original crisis. the easier it is once again internalising out of the us china trade were and that has led to an export led downside globally. that has been particularly painfulfor

europe's experts, like germany. it inflation has a virtual offer for too long. in the region of local activity and high debt, the scandal of deflationary it can be deeply but economically and stabilising. finally, there has been a great deal of scepticism on the ecb eyes ending... the stop buying and the quantitative easing programme are just a few months ago. it has never managed to normalise interest rates and have been negative territory and then went into further negative territory today. but the present has managed to, however, is once again thank the government cancel the big wigs and splendid package of measures, judging by the early market indicators to improve confidence and a weaker euro, the lower bond yields but probably help

to stabilise conditions in global markets. lots of isher's. as image major there's going to change at the top. —— issues. continuing along a trajectory then, despite what will be led to believe nine months ago. the question people are asking now is how low can you's separate —— supplements go? we converse happy worried that the euro zone's toolkit is worked out. the fact that the ecb also introduced me measures that would shatter particular northern european banks from the cost of building activity. it means banks are actually paying for their liquidity. it is not exactly have a free lunch. business introduce the today and that signals there is

possibility for this to go down, but there is clearly a limit to how effective that will be. in terms of stimulating banks to take their liquidity and then went to the real economy. there is an issue here and negative interest rates are notjust a case where the ecb, the german government, as buttering a negative interest rate at a negative interest rate of 30 years, doctor mike i'm afraid we're going to have to live it there. thank you very much. the world of retail, a new study highlights how women have been hardest hit by the job losses that have swept the industry. the royal society of the arts found that of 108,000 jobs that have been lost since 2011, 70% of those affected were women. the study also found that regions outside london were also disproportionately affected by the retail downturn. london stock exchange is reportedly poised to reject a £32bn takeover approach by its hong kong based equivalent. the financial times reports there are concerns about the political
