tonight at ten — calls for clearer guidance on food allergen labelling in restaurants, after the death of a teenager. owen carey, who was 18, told staff at a byron restaurant he was allergic to dairy, but his food had been marinated in buttermilk. owen was the shining light in ourfamily and his death should not have happened. we hope now that something good can come out of it and we are calling on the government to change the law on allergen labelling in restaurants. after other deaths due to allergies, what more should the food industry be doing, to safeguard the public? also tonight... we're at the races, that's where we are. we're going to get a deal. borisjohnson prepares for face—to—face talks with the european commission president, saying he's cautiously optimistic a brexit deal can be struck.

a sharp rise in the number of domestic violence killings in the uk, with almost all the victims being women. the families of victims of the manchester arena attack will be barred from hearing parts of the inquest evidence, on national security grounds. that's close and given. and england take control, on day two of the final ashes test at the oval. and coming up on sportsday on bbc news, europe take a one—point lead over the united states after day one of the solheim cup at gleneagles. good evening. the family of a teenager who suffered a fatal allergic reaction after eating a chicken

burger in a restaurant, is demanding a change to the laws governing food allergy labelling. owen carey, who was celebrating his 18th birthday, had told staff at a byron restaurant in london that he was allergic to dairy. but he wasn't told that his food had been marinated in buttermilk. the family wants clearer information on the ingredients of all dishes on menus. here's angus crawford. right, this. owen carey. let me start again. living life to the full, his family say. acutely aware of them, but never letting his allergies hold him back. but a meal out — an 18th birthday treat — killed him. fried chicken from byron burger, cooked in buttermilk. ingredients not listed on the menu at the time. triggering a severe allergic reaction. the only warning was in small print on the back.

the coroner said the lack of information had been falsely reassuring. owen, she said, made the serving staff aware of his allergies, but then the system broke down. and owen was not informed there were allergens in the order. his family are now demanding change. owen was the shining light in ourfamily and his death should not have happened. we hope now that something good can come out of it and we are calling on the government to change the law on allergen labelling in restaurants. later, i spoke to owen's mother and father. we need to know that the restaurant industry as a whole will adopt what we hope will become owen's law. that they will voluntarily, and before it becomes law, they can take action. owen had a load of energy and was always smiling and wanted to get the most out of life possible. byron burger says it has now made changes to its menus and training. and it is clear that the current

rules and requirements are not enough and the industry needs to do more. more to help support customers with allergies and more to raise awareness of the risk of allergies. so how does the law stand at the moment? well, restaurants must provide information about the 1a most commonly occurring allergens. they can do this in writing, on the menu, a chalkboard or information pack, or they can do it verbally, and this is where problems can arise. young staff in busy restaurants with a high workforce turnover can make mistakes. as the number of people like owen, with life—threatening allergies grows, calls for reform grow, too. for owen's family, hope that the lessons from his death can prevent others in the future. angus crawford, bbc news. the prime minister says he is "cautiously optimistic" of getting a brexit deal.

boris johnson will travel to luxembourg on monday for his first meeting since taking office with the european commission president, jean—claude juncker, and the eu's chief brexit negotiator, michel barnier. at an event in rotherham today, he told an audience there is the rough shape of an agreement beginning to form. here's our deputy political editor, john pienaar. the name's boris, borisjohnson. trust me. nice to see you. it looks like campaigning, and it is, for future votes and for trust that he's the one deliver brexit — no more delays. an exciting time, he told one supporter. not exciting, worrying, she said. maybe worrying for him too, wanting a brexit deal, attacked by critics for closing the commons. i'm all in favour of our mps. why are you not with them in parliament sorting out the mess that you created? get back to parliament and sort it out! he's being heckled by the commons speaker too,

who's warned of more laws to ban a no—deal brexit, maybe force another extension. whatever the shenanigans that may be going on at westminster, we will get on with delivering our agenda and preparing to take this country out of the eu on october the 31st. what chance of a deal? he is hoping for a last—minute breakthrough. i am cautiously optimistic. is that a good enough characterisation? i am cautiously optimistic. he will meet the eu commission president in luxembourg on monday, still a long way from agreement. his democratic unionist party allies want to be convinced by a brexit deal that they see as no threat to the union, and they haven't been. we are not going to vote for any arrangement which makes us different than the rest of the united kingdom and as a result forms the border between northern ireland and the rest of the united kingdom. as far as the irish

government is concerned, our position hasn't changed. i would have to say that what has been put forward so far falls far short of what we need. so the chances of a deal still seem remote, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. it would certainly help borisjohnson out of a tight political corner. if he is forced to expend brexit he could expose the tories to a potentially serious threat from the brexit party. and now there's a law that could virtually outlaw a no—deal brexit. wanting a deal, even needing one, won't necessarily make it happen. good luck with brexit. thank you very much. where there's a political will, there's often a political way. but no one has found it yet. john pienaar, bbc news, westminster. the metropolitan police has ended its criminal investigation, into the campaign group leave.eu, over its spending during the 2016 brexit referendum. the inquiry began after the electoral commission referred the campaign,

founded by the businessman arron banks, to the police, and fined it £70,000. but the met now say there's insufficient evidence to justify further action. mr banks has called for an inquiry into the electoral commission's actions, and a separate investigation by the national crime agency into other allegtions is ongoing. it seems a general election isn't too far way, with downing street insisting it's the only way to break the brexit deadlock in parliament. the earliest it could take place is towards the end of november. our chief political correspondent vicki young takes a look at some of the key constituencies that could determine the result. we're in a period of pretty unpredictable politics and the current make—up of the house of commons suggests a general election may not be that far away. let's take a look at the state of the parties right now. the conservatives have 288 mps and labour, 247. there are 35 independents — more than half of them former conservative mps booted out

of the parliamentary party for voting against the government. the snp has 35 and the liberal democrats, 17. with all the others, that is a total of 650 and no party is anywhere near the required 326 for an overall majority. so, what's likely to be the tories‘ election strategy? well, in 2017, the two main parties dominated, the tories taking 43% and labour, 41% of the vote. compare that to how the parties are polling now. the conservatives have had a poll bounce under boris johnson, but are still averaging around 33%. labour are down to about 26% in september's polls. so, let's take a look at the electoral map from 2017. if the current polls were reflected in a general election, the conservatives would take 2a seats off labour. places like kensington, dudley north

and newcastle—under—lyme. but at the same time, they risk losing seats, places like stirling and gordon in scotland would likely go to the snp. cheltenham, southport and winchester to the liberal democrats. so the conservatives need to take more seats from labour and they'll have their eyes on the ones that voted for brexit. looking at the conservatives‘ top 50 labour—held targets, it's estimated that 39 voted leave. places like stoke—on—trent north with a 72% leave vote, blackpool south, 68% or great grimsby, 71% leave. but will historical anti—tory feeling here undermine this strategy? that'll be one of the key features of an election, and the other unknown is the potential impact of nigel farage‘s brexit party. could it damage the tories‘ chances by winning the support of leave voters?

vicki young there. let's talk to our deputy political editor, john pienaar at westminster. david cameron, the former prime minister, who held the brexit referendum in 2016, has broken his silence on the current brexit impasse. and how. we see past prime ministers take pot shots at their successoi’s, ministers take pot shots at their successors, but never anything quite like this. david cameron is about to release his memoirs and he's given a brutally interview to the times. in the book, he describes his now formerfriend michael the book, he describes his now former friend michael gove, the book, he describes his now formerfriend michael gove, the cabinet ministerfor formerfriend michael gove, the cabinet minister for no deal planning, as mendacious, a liar, in other words. he described him and borisjohnson as having left the truth at home during the eu referendum campaign, having behaved appallingly, and he is scathing about the decision to expel rebels from the parliamentary party and stop them standing as candidates, and as for suspending parliament, he calls that sharp practice, a sort of

old—fashioned term for trickery, for cheap trickery. this is a row of a kind we haven't quite seen before. it compounds the row that's going on just at the moment and we are now looking at a former prime minister attacking the present prime minister, on top of another former prime minister, john major, treasure —— challenging boris johnson prime minister, john major, treasure —— challenging borisjohnson in court. has there ever been a prime minister is polarising and divisive as the one we are seeing now in modern times? it's true that those closest to boris johnson modern times? it's true that those closest to borisjohnson in number ten downing street believe these divisions may work for him and help convince brexiteer voters that mr johnson is on their side. but if the prime minister hoped to deliver what some have called a clean break brexit, and to reunify the country afterwards, well, surely now achieving either one of those ambitions, let alone both of them, looks like an uphill slog. 0k, john pienaar, thank you, at westminster. the number of people killed as a result of domestic violence in the uk, is at its highest level

for five years, and almost all the victims, are women. figures obtained by the bbc show that last year, 173 people died in domestic violence—related homicides. the government says it's "fully committed" to tackling the issue, and ministers have promised legislation when parliament returns next month. here's tom symonds. three men with something in common. they've all just killed their partners. jalal uddin stabbed his 50 times when she wouldn't let him gamble with the family budget. michael rolle escaped on a bike after murdering his girlfriend, charlotte huggins, in a jealous rage. rodrigo giraldo killed his wife, then put her body in the boot of this car. he then buried her in a shallow grave. what time did you go out looking for her? giraldo claimed she was missing, that he'd tried to find her. he was lying — not just to the police... 2:30.

..but also to his desperate family. my mum, margory isaza villegas, was taken from us on 13th january 2019. she will be forever with us, weaved into our thoughts, memories and hearts. that's a statement you made to the court. it was a statement i made to the court. to be honest, it was all about her. it's all about the person that she was and the positivity that she instilled in us. julian giraldo is steadfastly trying to find something positive from his mother's murder and his father's life sentence. you don't know when you can end up in a situation where you end up basically by yourself, because you've lost your mum and your dad. her body was found in this woodland. it was one of the first 100 killings of 2019. we've been examining those cases to try to understand why the murder rate has been rising. we found around a fifth were cases of domestic violence, and seven were murdered with a knife — notjust the weapon

of the streets, but the home too. invisible in knife crime is the number of women who are killed by the use of a knife, in the kitchen or in the bedroom. and that's part of the issue about violence against women. it mostly remains invisible. there are awareness campaigns. police can issue new non—molestation and domestic violence orders against abusive partners. but critics say they're just not being used enough. in february, aliny godinho gets on a bus to pick up her children from school. her estranged husband ricardo is following in this black pick—up truck. she gets off the bus. shortly after this video, he stabbed her to death. she'd told the police that he was controlling her mentally. the police watchdog is investigating their response. but some lawyers and campaigners

believe a lack of resources is preventing forces from acting. women have to go off and get orders on their own in the civil courts, and then those orders are breached and the police don't do anything to arrest the suspects, the perpetrators. we hear this all the time. this is clare wood. she was murdered in 2009. the killer, her boyfriend, had an appalling history of violence against women. clare's law, as it became known, allows anyone to request information about their partner's past. but it's still not been made an actual law. that was due to happen this year, and then brexit chaos intervened. this week, borisjohnson tweeted his commitment to a new bill to tackling an horrific crime which tears families apart. tom symonds, bbc news. the families of victims of the manchester arena attack, will be barred from hearing some of the inquest evidence, on national security grounds.the coroner has ruled that parts

of evidence from m15 and the police must be kept secret. twenty—two people were killed and hundreds were injured in the bombing, in may 2017. our north of england correspondentjudith moritz is at the arena for us tonight... judith, did the coroner go into any more detail as to why this ruling was being made? yes, quite fulsome detail because you know now it is still the case that inquests into how 22 people were killed here at the arena are yet to be held. we have had a pre—inquest argument and the coroner has been looking at arguments about whether some evidence should be heard in private. the inquest are due to start in april next year, that will be nearly three years since the attack and the families of those who died have lots of questions, including whether the attack could have been prevented and when the security services knew about the movements of the bomber ‘s family beforehand. today they found

out that they won't hear all the releva nt out that they won't hear all the relevant evidence. lawyers for the security services and the police have argued that to make some of that public could pose a risk to national security. lawyers for the families demanded full transparency and said that the authorities seeking to withhold the information at the same authorities that stand to be criticised. the coroner said there is a risk to national security and he said that to make the information public could help terrorist to carry out similar atrocities and make them harder to prevent and so it is now thought that rather than holding inquest, instead a public enquiry will be held, despite its name, that sort of enquiry means that some evidence can be heard privately. 0k, judith, thank you. it's an incredibly destructive greenhouse gas, that can seriously damage the atmosphere. sulphur hexa—fluoride, also known as sf6, is used to prevent fires and accidents in electrical equipment, in power stations and wind turbines.

but if it leaks the consequences for the environment are severe, and levels of sf6 in the atmosphere have increased sharply in recent yea rs. across the eu leaks have been equivalent to the emissions of 1.3 million extra vehicles on the road in just one year. matt mcgrath now investigates, what's behind the rise. we're about to witness the startling destructive power of electricity, as technicians prepare a short circuit test at this laboratory. this is why industries rely so heavily on sf6. it prevents overloads that destroy installations. but the gas is also the most powerful climate—warming substance known to science, 23,500 times more damaging than carbon dioxide, and levels in the atmosphere are increasing. it's leaking into the air faster than ever before. this is a very potent greenhouse gas, and it's very long—lived. so what we put up in the atmosphere

will essentially stay there for hundreds or thousands of years. if we don't cut emissions, we'lljust continue to add to that atmospheric burden. the main reason for the rise in the use of sf6 has been the change in the way we make electricity. in the past, we relied on a handful of large coal stations for our power, but these have been replaced by dozens of wind farms, requiring many more substations and connections to the grid. the electricity generated by wind farms is sent via underwater cables to substations on land. it travels along high—voltage lines, and the power is then converted so it can be used in homes and offices all over the uk. on every step of the journey, switches and fuses are used to prevent short circuits and fires. but around 80% of the ones in the uk depend on the powerful greenhouse gas, sf6. the eu will review the regulations on sf6 in 2020, but some energy companies are sensing that change is coming.

this new wind farm being built off the coast of east anglia is one of the first and largest in the world constructed without sf6. however, there are limitations. the turbines here are connected to the substation, and that still relies on the gas. but at this factory in the netherlands, they have been making electrical switch products without sf6 for decades. they are ready for a0 years in the field and they are reliable, they are safe and they are really working with no use of sf6. changing from sf6, a reliable and cost—effective insulating material, won't be easy. the industry regulator ofgem says it's setting targets for companies to move away from the gas. but a ban on the substance is thought unlikely before 2025. matt mcgrath, bbc news. one of the uk's largest pawnbrokers has closed all its stores and left customers in the dark, with a helpline not taking calls. albemarle & bond pawnbrokers and herbert brown

stores have more than a hundred premises around the country, and is searching for a buyer. it's unclear if any shops will reopen and staff have been offered redundancy. the singer, lily allen, says her record label hasn't taken any action, after she claimed she was sexually assaulted by someone at the company. she says she spoke to an executive at warner music last year, where her alleged attacker is still employed. the record label has called the allegations "appalling" and says it "takes accusations of sexual misconduct extremely seriously and will investigate. " here's chi chi izundu. with three uk number one singles and two number one albums, lily allen is one of the most successful british female artists in music. last year, lily published her autobiography and that is also where, for the first time, she talked about being sexually assaulted in 2016 by someone in the music industry after a party.

i was drunk, so i can't... all i can tell you is what i do remember which is, you know, waking up in bed with somebody that i trusted in a position that i really did not want to be, or had never given any indication that i did want that. but lily says she didn't leave the matter there and feels it was brushed under the carpet. in a bbc interview with her friend, miquita oliver, she says she also talked to her boss at her label, warner music. i went out for dinner with one of the label bosses and he said to me that he had no idea about this incident until he read about it in the book. did he say, now that we know, boy, are we going to do something about it? no. warner music says these allegations are appalling and adds, we take accusations of sexual misconduct extremely seriously and investigate claims that are raised with us. we are very focused on enforcing our code of conduct and providing a safe and professional environment at all times. lily allen is one of the few british artists to have gone public about sexual harassment in the music industry. but is there a code of silence?

is there a blanket of fear? perhaps those are the reasons why the industry has not quite had its public #metoo moment and that fear could be around the destruction of a career. i did not get a particularly good run at festivals this season. i didn't get, you know, particularly big gigs offered to me. i didn't get a big marketing push behind my album campaign, even though it was probably one of the best records that i have ever written. and you think it is directly linked? yes, i really do. yeah. i really do. the bbc understands lily allen's alleged attacker continues to work with the label. she says she didn't go to the police about the assault and according to those who represent survivors of sexual assault in the workplace, that isn't uncommon. i think the difficulties can be because they perceive the perpetrators to be very powerful. i think they think that women who are victims of sexual assault and indeed men will struggle to find people to support them

in that industry. lily is currently working on her new album, but it will be her last with warner. chi chi izundu, bbc news. in zimbabwe thousands of people have been queuing to pay their last respects, to the country's former president robert mugabe, whose body is lying in state. arguments between his family and the government continue, over his final resting place. and as our senior africa correspondent anne soy reports, deep divisions remain, over the wider legacy, of his decades in power. mourning zimba bwe's long serving leader. thousands brought to the capital, harare, to see him one last time. even if to catch one final fleeting glimpse of the former president.

the mention of robert mugabe provoke strong emotions. there are those who loved and even revered him and thousands have been coming here to pay their last respects, but elsewhere in the country, his memory elicits strong feelings of pain, bitterness and anger. charles thomas witnessed horrific scenes at this mine, more than three decades ago. he can still hear the cries, he says, of children tied between their parents and pushed into this shaft hundreds of metres deep. those who were refused were shot dead. mr mcgarvey has praised the fifth brigade... a paramilitary wing, called the fifth brigade, rounded up men, raped women and killed up to 20,000 zimbabweans. it was dubbed gukurahundi, the rain that washes away the chaff.

controversial land reforms saw white owners forcefully ejected and their farms given to black zimbabweans. peter is one of the beneficiaries. the former civil servant is full of praise for robert mugabe. if it wasn't for him, i don't know where we would be. i'm just grateful that god gave us that kind of a person. like the kind of robert mugabe. to some, a caring leader, to others, an unrepentant tyrant. here lies a man of contradictions, who defined zimba bwe's history for decades. anne soy, bbc news, harare. the fast bowlerjofra archer, has torn through the australian batting, on the second day of the final ashes test, at the oval. he took six wickets, as england bowled out the visitors for 225, securing a first innings lead. joe wilson reports.

the oval is surely one of cricket's grandest old stately homes. you would almost expect a butler. there he is. jos buttler would aim for morning boundaries. australia would aim for his stumps. ah, the fun stopped. england were all out for 294. so, they prepared to bowl with motivation. after all, david warner was waiting, gently reminded by the crowd that he had been scoring a lot of ducks. well, warner managed five today, another failure. maybe the crowd were bored of booing. no. jofra archer was bowling with real menace. marnus labuschagne lbw for 48 and england were in business. but there was him. that's steve smith. start counting when he gets to 50. now. sam curran on his ashes debut made his mark.

england brought in a new bowler. sam curran on his ashes debut made his mark. he got paine and then he got cummins, in consecutive balls. from roughly five foot nine, he became ten feet tall and then the ultimate. smith's mistake. chris woakes' wicket. it is a measure of steve smith's status that to get him out for 80 seemed like a huge victory. jofra archer finished with six fast bowling wickets. this one can only be appreciated slowed down. rory burns held it. england will resume 78 ahead and it is this way to the weekend. joe wilson, bbc news, at the oval. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm chetan pathak. coming up:
