acquired rituals of america's opioid bit of fork first seeing a little bit of fork first thing on thursday morning, but it addiction. jeff had been injured really will be the only fly in what playing american football in high will be a gentle introduction to the school, and started taking autumn season. enjoy it if you can. oxycontin, a drug prosecutors allege it was aggressively and deceptively marketed by purdue, a company owned by one of the richest families in america. did you have any sense of how addictive oxycontin was? no, no. prime minister of luxembourg attacked borisjohnson‘s approach to brexit after noisy protests after he and it really bothers me because nobody told us there was an chose not to take part in a press addictive quality at all. they purposely set out to misguide conference at. this is a nightmare. people would love to have clarity, doctors, mislead the public, and they would love to know what is have everyone misunderstand and going to happen in london and the eu assume they were safe. purdue has and what would be their position. 110w assume they were safe. purdue has now filed for bankruptcy, part of a the prime minister held his first proposal to settle some of the face—to—face talks with the thousands of law suits against it, and to provide money to tackle the president of the commission. afterwards he told bbc he thinks we could still get a deal. they have had enough of all this. they are fed crisis. these are some of the up had enough of all this. they are fed up with these endless negotiations. adverts that the company ran in the

late 90s that it says falsely downplayed the risks of oxycontin. drone attacks on major saudi oil some patients may be afraid of facilities. taking opioids because they are perceived as too strong or the us releases images to back its addictive. that is far from actual claim that iran was behind them. fa ct. addictive. that is far from actual fact. since 1999, 2000 americans surging sales — the supermarket chain aldi says it plans to open have died from overdoses related to a store a week for the next two oxycontin and other prescription years across the uk. opioids. the settlement has been two former soldiers were made target fiercely opposed by states such as of racist graffiti in the barracks new york and massachusetts, who have and win at suit about it. a special accused members of the sackler family of being behind moves to report on the human cost of the deceive patients. other allegations conflict in afghanistan as thousands continue to lose their lives. at that purdue and members of the sacklerfamily half past 11 we will be taking an that purdue and members of the sackler family involved, refused. in—depth look at the papers with our they deny they contributed to the reviewers, james rampton, features crisis, and pointed to heroin and writer for the independent. fe nta nyl as crisis, and pointed to heroin and fentanyl as more significant than other painkillers. that crisis goes on and so does the legal fight against purdue.

the war in afghanistan has been raging for almost 18 years. now the country is facing a renewed crisis after the breakdown of peace good evening. the prime minister of luxembourg has talks between us and taliban leaders. attacked borisjohnson‘s approach last month alone, thousands to brexit calling the situation of people lost their lives. a nightmare and saying the bbc has tracked every conflict related death, that the british government has both military and civilian, for august and the figures failed to put forward any serious proposals for a new deal. xavier bettel also accused borisjohnson of portraying the eu are shocking. as the bad guy. his outspoken comments came at what was supposed to be a joint more than 2,000 people died and almost 2,000 were injured press conference following mrjohnson‘s first face to face in more than 600 incidents across afghanistan. meeting since taking among them were 97a office with the president taliban fighters who were killed of the european commission, jean claude juncker. and a73 civilian deaths over but borisjohnson had to pull out of his media appearance the last month. our chief international correspondent, lyse doucet, because of noisy protests reports from afghanistan from remain supporters nearby. however mrjohnson said that on the human cost of war. while negotiations had reached a very difficult moment, not a day without violence. there was still a good chance our political editor, laura kuenssberg is in luxembourg tonight. air miles can't be exchanged for a deal. today is not going to be a breakthrough day. not a day without loss. time for borisjohnson to see some of those he needs onside. i mean, it's september already and moved into numberio injuly and it's only now that you're going to see one month in afghanistan.

jean—claude juncker. you could have done this weeks and weeks ago. we have had many conversations with our friends and partners, and they've moved a long way. but a jet and a convoy racing through luxembourg's streets doesn't mean we are speeding towards an agreement. i think a deal is there to be done, but clearly if we can't get movement from them on that crucial issue of whether the eu can continue to control the uk, we won't be able to get that the darkest day of all, through the house a wedding hall, 92 dead. of commons — no way! a suicide bomber of islamic state. the worst attack of august, but what is the actual solution that you're proposing? is it giving more power the deadliest this year. to stormont, for example? these are certainly some of the ideas that it was meant to be the best are being talked about. night of mirwais' life. this is all doable, it's all doable 20 minutes after the with energy and goodwill, bridegroom danced with joy, there's a germ of an idea there. life changed for ever. the days of summer in august saw, on average, 7a deaths a day. even the islamic festival of eid was shattered by violence. but it'sjust a germ of an idea? we went to visit one and so... family left devastated. well, there are, there's a lot of thinking going on. if it's down to goodwill, there's big trouble. a small crowd, making a lot of noise, was outside boris johnson's meeting with luxembourg's leader.

boris, leave our rights alone! having tried and failed to move it the days of summer in august saw, on average, 7a deaths a day. inside, number 10 chose to leave rather than appear before the crowd. even the islamic festival of eid was shattered by violence. but xavier bettel we went to visit one didn't miss the moment. maybe even savoured it. family left devastated. so, now it's on mrjohnson. he holds the future of all uk citizens. i repeat, this brexit, it's not my choice. it was a decision from the party, it was a decision from david cameron to do it. two daughters out shopping for eid. they decide, they decide, two children left behind at home. i deeply regret it. but don't put the blame on us! however many handshakes there are, if the two sides can't even agree peacefully on the choreography of a press conference without drama, what chance, really, of an accommodation between the uk and the eu? we're cautious, cautious. especially when at home, boris johnson is in a taliban truck bomb conflict with parliament. killed them and 12 others. one month in decades of war. has there been a total breakthrough? i wouldn't say so. am i more optimistic than i was when we took off this morning?

i would say a little bit. even a 70—year—old granny has a gun. but not much. three of this lady's sons and three mps have changed the law grandsons were shot dead right to try and stop you taking in front of her house the uk out without a deal by islamic state fighters. at the end of october. how do you propose to get a0 grandchildren now under her care. round that, because you keep saying you have no intention of delaying? here's what i won't... i will uphold the constitution, i'll obey the law but we will come out on october the 31st. how, if the mp5 have changed the law to stop you doing that? we're going to come out on october the 31st. but how? it's vital that people understand that the uk will not extend. we won't go on remaining in the eu beyond october the 31st. another son died in war decades ago, what on earth is the point? a fifth injured in battle. but that means that you are looking for a way round the law? well, you know, those are your words. what we're going to do is come out on october the 31st, deal or no deal, and staying in beyond october the 31st across afghanistan, month is completely crackers. after month, life goes on here, but do you really think that you want to be the kind even as more lives are taken,

of prime minister that is looking more families shattered. at ways of sneaking around laws for many afghans, this now feels to keep to your political promise? i mean, everybody knows how like a for—ever war. strongly you feel... these are all your words. and even though this past month how will you do it, then? of violence there has been far more talk of peace, you will challenge it in court, you will take parliament to court? afghans wonder and worry our first priority, if i may say so, whether the months to come just to try and look on the bright will be exactly the same. side for a second or two, is to come out with a deal. fighting intensifies, and, actually, that is what our and so does the pain, in what is now friends and partners the world's deadliest conflict. in the eu would like too. and i think they've had a belly lyse doucet, bbc news, full of all this stuff. many british prime ministers have in afghanistan. sat alongside him before, trying to finesse or find a new relationship with the eu but this one is happier to provoke, happier to try to find a way round. around 80 firefighters have been it does seem that since you've been called to a blaze in a block of in office, that some flats in london. 12 engines were of the things you have done, you seem to believe the conventions and rules called to the block in clapton and somehow don't apply to you. oh, really? really? are still in attendance. the cause obviously, i humbly disagree. of the fire is unknown. shortly we if you're talking about having will take an in—depth look at the a queen's speech, i think that was the right thing to do. papers with our reviewers, james we need a queen's speech. rampton and joe tanner. that is so, when it comes... by the way, all this mumbo jumbo

about how parliament coming up after the headlines at is being deprived of the opportunity to scrutinise brexit, 1130. now it is time for the what a load of claptrap! actually, parliament, ithink, has lost about four or five days weather. and i think actually what the people of our country is a little less of this sort of bloom. the weather forecast across the uk this week fairly straightforward, but that is not set to last. next week becomes more of a headache, that in a moment. enjoy the rest of the week if you can. drive a day, one of the people who's extremely clear skies overnight, that will gloomy about what's happened is your old friend and rival allow temperatures to fall away, so and colleague david cameron. chilly early mornings. high pressure he says that the leave campaign that you lead, lied. going to drive the weather story he said that you over the next few days due to a behaved appallingly. i have the highest respect and affection and regard for him. he and i worked together for many week, meandering jetstream at the moment, allowing that high—pressure years and i think he has a legacy, to drift in and dominate throughout turning the economy around, the working week. that means for that i think he can be very, very proud of. so, that's my view on dave tuesday, despite some strong winds and what he's got to say. in the far north of scotland and he's been brutal about you. elsewhere, we keep some dry, sunny well, really, i mean, you know... weather coming through. temperatures fairly uniform at around 12— 20 another tory prime minister whose fate will be decided by our relationship with europe. with time so short, the volume is going up, degrees. as we move through tuesday as the clock ticks down. into wednesday, we will see a weak laura kuenssberg, weather front starting to show its hand. it is drifting across the top

of the high, producing more cloud and outbreaks of light rain. the high—pressure stays bbc news, luxembourg. the key question tonight has to be whether that outburst from luxembourg's prime minister is indicative of the eu just having enough and wanting to walk away from any more talks with the uk and boris johnson's government. actually it's quite the opposite. we have the prime minister today saying he wants to again step up the pace of talks with the eu and the response from the european commission was, our door is open due 20 a7. this is not out of love for boris johnson's government, it is because a long time ago the eu decided that as long as there was a whiff of a hope of a brexit deal it served their purpose to remain engaged, whether or not they felt frustrated. and they do feel frustrated, because although it

is headline making, these comments today are not new in brexit circles. often in chats with eu politicians, they whose frustration, that millions are being spent preparing for a possible no—deal brexit. the fa ct for a possible no—deal brexit. the fact that boris johnson continues insisting that those renegotiations are going swimmingly. he says they say not, that there are no concrete proposals on the table. the difference is that most eu leaders, by some notable exceptions, believe it is better for them to keep any anger in secret and in private. we will find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages in the papers. joining me tonight our political strategistjo papers. joining me tonight our political strategist jo tanner and peter ebdon.

—— rampton. the liberal democrat leader, jo swinson, says her party would not go into coalition with borisjohnson orjeremy corbyn. speaking in bournemouth, where the libdems are holding their annual conference, she also denies that her party is being anti—democratic in saying it would cancel brexit outright. ms swinson previously supported another referendum on eu membership. our chief political correspondent, vicki young, sent this report, which contains some flash photography. liberal democrat conference isn't everyone's of fun... it's a real pleasure. ..but this year, some new recruits are throwing themselves into the whole experience. smile! six former labour and conservative mps have defected to the lib dems because of brexit. i tell you, it's a breath of fresh air. and there more might be to come. yesterday, the party agreed to revoke article 50, cancelling brexit altogether if it wins a general election. leaderjo swinson denies she's ignoring the referendum result. it's about being straightforward and honest. i totally accept that lots of people won't agree with it, but i do think you have to stand up for what you think is right.

do you spend much time talking to people who voted for brexit or are you notjust in a remain bubble? well, i get out and about and speak to people on the doorsteps, campaigning around the country, which i've done through the local elections, through the european elections. do you hear they're anger? do you hear their anger? they're angry, a lot of them. i do, and i have those conversations. there's a democratic issue here, isn't there? you are being anti—democratic. i don't accept that, because we have a parliamentary democracy. there was a referendum, people voted to leave and the government's gone away to negotiate that and a deal was put before parliament. parliament rejected that, including, by the way, many mps who voted to leave. the lib dems want voters to be in no doubt that they're against brexit, but some think the new policy shift could harm the party's chances in its former stronghold. i fear that actually taking the extremist position of going for revoking article 50 actually is counter—productive, if we're trying to keep some

of our leave supporters in many constituencies, including in places like cornwall and the south—west of england. but jo swinson is focused on victory. she says in such volatile political times, anything could happen and she's aiming to be prime minister. she rejects any suggestion that she'd prop up another party. i'm not going to support borisjohnson orjeremy corbyn to be prime minister because they're not up to the job. our country deserves better and in an election campaign, the country will have the chance to choose a better future. the lib dems' strategy depends on the next election being all about brexit. as borisjohnson tries to attract brexiteers, jo swinson will be going all—out to appeal to those who voted remain. she's certainly aiming high, though there aren't many people who think she'll be the next prime minister. she has come up with a bold plan, but no one can be sure whether it'll get them to their preferred destination. vicki young, bbc news, bournemouth.

a spokesman for the saudi military says the weapons used in the attacks at the weekend on saudi arabia's major oil facilities were made in iran. the saudis say an investigation into the incident is still going on but iran has denied any involvement. saudi arabia is the world's biggest oil exporter, and two sites were hit — a processing plant and a key oilfield. the attack shut down 5% of global supplies, causing oil prices to finish the day 15% higher, with a jump earlier in the day not seen since saddam hussein invaded kuwait in the 19905. nawal al—maghafi has the story. striking at the heart of the saudi oil industry. attacks on the largest refinery, cutting capacity by half. an attack by houthi rebels in

reaction to saudi support in yemen. last month, a targeted attack on a military parade in aden killed hundreds. back then i interviewed the deputy foreign minister. he warned there was more to come. translation: for the last five years we have been the ones who are attacked. it is only normal that we retaliate to defend our land and our people who have been the main victims. this was the most damaging and humiliating blow to saudi arabia since they intervened in yemen's civil war. they are supporting the yemeni government with the backing of the uk and the us. fighting against houthi rebels backed by iran. four years against houthi rebels backed by iran. fouryears on, against houthi rebels backed by iran. four years on, thousand have been killed in air strikes, and the conflict has created the world's worst humanitarian crisis.

previously, the rebels only had limited capabilities, but claimed this latest attack changes that. other than words, they have shown no evidence. the us release these satellite images, proof, they say, that it was not the houthi rebels but iran that was responsible. this is unacceptable. it is unacceptable and they must be held responsible. make no mistake about it — this was a deliberate attack on the global economy. as tensions in the region escalate, iran categorically denies the allegations but continues to defend the houthi rebels. translation: yemeni people are exercising their legitimate right of defence. the attacks are reciprocal, and the main solution is to hold these attacks. if attacks like this

continue, the fear is that saudi arabia, with their allies, will respond with greater force, and it will be the people of yemen that pay the price. here, the government has apologised for what it says were inadvertent arms sales to saudi arabia, despite promises not to. britain had been a major seller of typhoon jets and other aircraft, as well as missiles and bombs, but announced a suspension of sales injune, amid fears they would be used in the war in yemen. trade secretary liz truss said an investigation has been launched. borisjohnson decides boris johnson decides not borisjohnson decides not to take pa rt borisjohnson decides not to take part inajoint borisjohnson decides not to take part in a joint statement with the prime minister of luxembourg due to noisy protests nearby. he later told the bbc that following the latest talks on brexit, the eu has had a bellyful of the process. nato says it is extremely concerned that tensions in the gulf will escalate

following strikes on oil facilities in saudi arabia at the weekend. two former british army soldiers have won a racial discrimination case against the ministry of defence. two former paratroopers have won their case for racial harassment against the british army. they said they'd been harassed for years. the tribunaljudge said that grafitti displayed in the barracks was unquestionably related to race. this employment tribunal judgement paints a different picture. it says they were subjected to racial

harassment, that created a degrading, humiliating and offensive environment. specifically, they were targeted by racist graffiti at their barracks in 2018, leading to their decision to quit the army. mr zulu said that when he joined from south africa in 2008, he held the british army in high regard. ten years later, when he left, he viewed it as a racist institution. the mod says they take every allegation of racism seriously. that said, an internal report by the mod earlier this year said there had been a disproportionate number of complaints from ethnic minorities and women in the armed forces, suggesting this is not an isolated incident. as a result of that report, the mod says it is introducing much more diversity training and also an improved complaint procedure. they are taking

action. a teenager has appeared in court and admitted murdering a lawyer. the 17—year—old, who can't be named due to his age, is due to be sentenced in september following psychiatric assessments. a 22—year—old man accused of killing his son will stand court next month. the boy was pulled out of a river in greater manchester. supermarket chain algae says it plans to open one new store in the uk every week for the next two years. the pledge came as it reported a sales rise for last year but saw profits. lee.

a knew aldi has come to town, and so have the shoppers. this time, north wales. have you switched, then? switched a long time ago, girl! and i think if you asked anybody else, they would say the same, that's why we're here. aldi added another £1 billion in sales last year, fuelled by new stores like this one, and in the middle aisles, it is clearly not all about the food. what have you got in your trolley? an ironing board, four plant pots and two footballs. the middle two aisles is all you come here for, isn't it? if you say so! it is! the big, established grocers are opening few, if any, new stores. aldi is opening on average a new supermarket every week. there are now three in this borough and they are planning another one. but all this investment has taken a big chunk out of its profits and it has had to cut prices to stay competitive. these days, rivals are

piling on the pressure. of course, retail has always been challenging and it is no different today. so, is this strategy sustainable? the focus is very much on our sales, oui’ customers and oui’ store numbers and not on a short—term profit ability. over the next two two years we are going to invest another £1 billion in the uk, around 50% of the population in the uk don't currently shop with us and we know that the main reason for that is that they do not have an aldi store nearby. a no deal brexit will not affect their plans, he says, but what about prices? what can't do is, it commit that prices will not go up but i don't think i am alone in the industry on that. it is notjust more stores, aldi is branching cautiously into convenience — only in london, for now. smaller shops to reach more city centre customers. aldi is evolving, but can it keep its edge as it pursues all this new space? emma simpson, bbc news.
