-- but we work to get this worse. it —— but we work to get this deal done. an extension depends on the reason for an extension. we are willing to discuss that, but they would need to be a reason for this. this is bbc news — what are we waiting for? when do we our latest headlines: french media reports say a man extend to this time? so if this with a knife has killed four people at the police headquarters in paris. comes up, extend to this time? so if this comes up, let's see the reason for it. thank you. the prime minister says his thank you. new brexit proposals are britain's chance to get a deal — so, leo varadkar there, as he lays out his plans to mps. thank you. so, leo varadkarthere, and thank you. so, leo varadkar there, and very much, the focus of any talk of they do not deliver everything we progress in this latest brexit would have wished, they do represent proposal. saying that they do not a compromise, but to remain a meet the fully agreed objective, but prisoner of existing positions is to become a cause of deadlock rather as we heard there, some cause for than breakthrough. the proposals are optimism in that he said there were positives to be gained from it. we unrealistic and damaging and well as i think the prime minister full well will be back with the latest on knows, be rejected in brussels, brexit a little later on. the prime rejected in this house and rejected minister borisjohnson, brexit a little later on. the prime minister boris johnson, of across this country!

brexit a little later on. the prime minister borisjohnson, of course, having addressed mps a little earlier in the house of commons. the irish prime minister, leo varadkar, says britain's plans but at the moment, that is what is are welcome but were not yet acceptable in a number of areas. the high court in belfast rules that northern ireland's abortion happening. laws are in breach of the uk's human rights commitments. women affected by the rise in the state pension age have he in paris a man has attacked the lost their high court case against the government. headquarters of the paris police force are found with a knife. reports suggest several people have been injured and four have been sport now on afternoon live with olly. killed, according to reports coming from the french capital. a police relief for ireland at unit spokesman said the attacker had been shot dead by a police officer the rugby world cup? at the scene. the man approached the rugby world cup japan, building in the heart of paris, just a tight turnaround for ireland, just five days after they were beaten by notre dame cathedral, it happened by the hosts japan. at about one o'clock this afternoon, the area has now been sealed off, remember, they came into the tournament as the number the area has now been sealed off, the interior minister is on his way one team in the world, to the scene. so a major security but that defeat meant they had to get two bonus point wins alert in paris. this is the scene from their final two matches. live in paris. the french interior they've got one of them, they beat russia 35—nil in kobe.

the scoreline should minister has actually arrived in the perhaps have been bigger, last few moments. this comes a day they were 21—nil up at the break after french police went on strike with three first half scores. gci’oss after french police went on strike across the country over increasing kaerney, o'mahoney and ruddock went violence towards officers and rising over, but they looked a little suicide rates within the force. but bit laboured at times. as you can see, the area around the they'd made 11 changes to the 15 that lost to the japanse. andrew conway and garry ringrose incident has been sealed off. we'll be talking to our correspondent in were the second half try scorers. paris a little later on. their fate's still in their own hands. the prime minister borisjohnson another big win against samoa next has outlined his plans week will make sure that they are for a brexit deal in parliament. into the kncokout stage. he said the government has gone the extra mile with the proposals, which he called a sincere effort to break the deadlock. but the labour leaderjeremy corbyn said the reaction from the eu had been lukewarm and called the proposals neither they were solid rather than serious nor credible. spectacular. one other match today, our political correspondent, a big win for fiji against georgia nick eardley reports. what was the mood in pool d, but wales and australia in here this morning? are favourites to make perhaps relief — the brexit plan it out of that group. hasn't been dismissed outright. likely some optimism, let's talk about this new cricket at cautious backing from rebel mps. competition, the hundred. we will getan competition, the hundred. we will get an idea of how it would work. this brexiteer minister arriving for cabinet says eight teams spread it is all looking good, across england and wales, each with a men's and women's team and from the man in charge of government discipline a thumbs up. and we had the first picks today, most of the current england stars

borisjohnson's government will be have been told where they'll be defined by what happens playing , ben stokes is off in the coming days and weeks, whether he can persuade to the northern superchargers, europe and westminster. jofra archer the southern brave , the brexit debate has been long... heather knight, the london spirit, husky voice: order, statement - one of two london sides. the prime minister. boris johnson hopes his our sports editor dan roan proposals are the solution. was at today's player draft. they don't deliver everything it's cricket, but not as we know it. we would have wished, they do represent a compromise, rather than the tradition of lords, an east end brewery but to remain a prisoner of existing positions is to become the location for the launch of the sport's newest format. this morning, some of england's a cause of deadlock rather biggest names present, than breakthrough, and so we have as they found out who they would be playing for next year made a genuine attempt to bridge the chasm, in the hundred, a competition the ecb hopes will breathe new life to reconcile the apparently into the game. irreconcilable, and to go the extra get kids interested in cricket, and playing it, it will be mile as time runs short. on free to air television, which is really important, we already saw the benefits of that his tone was markedly different from last week's bruising with the world cup final. exchanges in parliament. i think it's great for the game it is to the credit of our european and the more people we can friends that they have accepted get interested in it, the better it will be for us. the need to address these issues and i welcome the constructive calls it's 100 balls, the best players in the world, i have had over the last 2a hours. eight brand—new teams, in seven cities. traditional rivalries redefined.

i'm pretty amazed at the kind of some in his party won't necessarily situation we have got at the launch. like everything, but he hopes there it feels like something is enough to finally get almost all that the younger generation of them on board. can really buy into. let's seize this moment to respect brexit, get brexit done, the ecb hopes to build and i commend this statement on england's world cup triumph and arrest a decline in the numbers to the house. watching the sport. labour say this plan is even but many ask whether there's a need or indeed room worse than the last one, for another tournament, with suggestions some of his mps and worry it will alienate traditional fans and could back the governmentjeremy harm existing formats. corbyn had this warning. no labour mp could support such no—one has yet explained a reckless deal that would be used where the new market is going to come from. as a springboard to attack rights many of us suspect the new market is not there. and standards in this country. if that market does not exist, 200 million is being spent others too lining up by the ecb to cannibalise to show their opposition. these proposals are unacceptable, its existing three products, they are unworkable which makes no sense whatsoever. and undeliverable. whether the hundreds an innovation it is all about blaming someone else. too far or a brave new dawn, in this case, the european union what's sure is that one of the biggest gambles cricket has when its plan is rejected. ever taken has just moved a step but crucially some closer and there's lots at stake. on the government's side who refused dan roan, bbc news. to back the last deal are more open to this plan.

tammy abraham looks to have what we have now is a sensible uk committed his future to england. the cheslea striker is also wide arrangement for customs out eligible to play for nigeria of the eu and if there's any through his father, regulatory difference to be had, but he's been called up we haven't agreed to that but the process has now been agreed by gareth southgate for this it has to have the ascent month's euro qualifiers against the czech and consent of the elected republic and bulgaria. abraham, who's 22, scored representatives and the people in the champions league against lille last night. of northern ireland which is a vast improvement. there is a mood for compromise, people want to get this done he's won two england caps two years and there is considerably more trust ago but they were friendlies so he could have still in the final outcome of brexit played for nigeria. his chelsea teamate fikayo tomori because boris is committed to a free trade agreement at the end of it has his first call up. so i would say there is very strong there could be another gold grounds for optimism. on the way for great britain at the world athletics championships the question is whether the eu in doha. after dina asher smith's victory will be prepared to compromise, because if they won't then in the 200m last night, we will leave anyway katerina johnson—thompson leads the way in the heptathlon on the 31st of october, after four events. i have no doubt about that. she had a dream start when she set borisjohnson faces a race against time to try and get a deal a personal best time in the hurdles done, to answer the many questions and then went on to throw further the european leaders have two than ever before in the shot put. whether enough mps at home could get she leads by 96 points. a deal through parliament. longjump, some encouraging signs at home

long jump, javelin and 800 metres to but the pm now faces the challenge of convincing european leaders, come. the javelin, that will be crucial. you can follow that on bbc a task that will, two, coverage about now. more in the begin in the coming days. next hour. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. we can cross to central lobby and speak to our chief political the high court in belfast has ruled that northern ireland's correspondent vicki young. abortion laws breach human rights. the case was brought by a woman who was told by doctors that her unborn child would not a very different atmosphere in the survive outside the womb, house of commons today tomorrow of but was denied a legal termination. there's a near total ban on abortion the roast to scenes we saw last in northern ireland, but the law is set to change week. the prime minister striking a later this month, after parliament conciliatory tone, offering to meet voted to intervene. with dozens of different mps he said emma vardy reports. ( if they had questions he'd be willing to talk through his proposals with all of them. we will see how many take up that offer. of course boris johnson see how many take up that offer. of course borisjohnson knows that if, and it is a big if, he manages to get a dealfrom and it is a big if, he manages to get a deal from the and it is a big if, he manages to get a dealfrom the eu then he is going to need those votes in the house of commons. let's speak to the sarah ewart became the public face of a debate about snp's a deeply personal issue. house of commons. let's speak to the snp‘s westminster leader who is with six years ago, she went to london me. you won't be supporting him in to have an abortion. any kind of deal. some will say you her unborn baby had a condition that meant she wouldn't survive outside the womb. it's not something i ever would have don't want brexit, you are willing even dreamt of going through.

to risk and no—deal brexit rather northern ireland has a near—total than back a deal. not at all. we ban on terminating a pregnancy, and sarah has fought through the courts to change that. thejudge ruled in sarah ewart‘s have already legislated to make sure favour, saying it wasn't right that can't happen. we have passed to ask another woman to relive the act that means we don't need to the trauma she had experienced. leave without a deal. we will have it's a massive relief that we have an extension to the end ofjanuary actually heard today that the judges at least. the prime minister has to recognised we did have the standing and that my human respect parliamentary democracy. then when you see where we go from rights were breached. here. the snp have always made it clear we don't want to leave the eu, what's a few more days, just waiting on this to come through? we think the best deal we can get is we've done it for six years. the one we stay in. the people of but there remains a strongly supported anti—abortion campaign scotland very much voted to remain in northern ireland, in the 2016 remained. we have who argue an unborn child has offered a compromise, we have done a right to life that should be protected. is all the way through. but the important point is this is a deal by i think it's a very sad day minister has brought forward which for the people of northern ireland, will not pass muster with the it's a very sad day for the future of unborn children with special european union, we have a situation that it seems to be offering up not needs when a court would make a decision to deny the very one but two boarders in northern personhood and deny the right ireland, one in the irish sea and one between northern ireland and the to life of unborn children republic. and in all of that it in northern ireland. seems to be operating on the basis ofa seems to be operating on the basis at the moment more than 1,000 women of a veto that the dup will have. this simply will not work and it a year leave northern ireland takes the uk away from what was for abortions, and today's ruling

agreed with the eu, back in 2017, of is another mark of the change taking place on what was a very socially respecting the single market and the conservative northern ireland. customs union. this is about creating a mirage that borisjohnson this recent demonstration was held is negotiating in good faith, there is negotiating in good faith, there is no such thing, it is about making to protest against legislation passed by westminster, sure he can europe when this doesn't which means the law work and trying to force no—deal on terminations is set to be relaxed later this month. through in the teeth of that the change will come in if the devolved government opposition the house of commons. we at stormont, which collapsed two and a half years ago, isn't restored had a different mood today and i in the next few weeks. welcomed that, we have a jekyll and hyde minister, but let's not be abortion remains one thought about what is going on here. of northern ireland's most emotive this is about blaming the eu for not issues but it is now on the brink of change, decades negotiating in good faith, and boris johnson and his government putting after the rest of the uk. forward a no—deal brexit. emma vardy, bbc news, belfast. johnson and his government putting forward a no-deal brexit. you talk about the extension, the delay to brexit, what is the point of that? opposition parties have been very more now on our top story. borisjohnson has told mps clear about what they don't want, but you're not clear about what you that his latest proposals to secure do one. there is no agreement about a brexit deal are a compromise, and a "genuine attempt to bridge that. we are clear in the snp, we the chasm" with the eu. the plans would see northern ireland wa nt that. we are clear in the snp, we want the opposition to come together and force boris johnson from stay in the european single market want the opposition to come together and force borisjohnson from power. we want the extension to be granted for goods but leave the customs and we want a general election. we wa nt union, resulting in new checks and we want a general election. we want a peoples vote to come from the on the island of ireland. we can cross to westminster

uk and have their say. we will face and speak tojoe owen from the institute for government. the tories in scotland, we will strongly campaign on the basis of any optimism there is not being staying in. but labour aren't willing to back a general election shared in europe. meps think there at the moment. i think the are several problems, particularly leadership comes responsibility, and over the customs union. boris johnson will be quite pleased with we have a prime minister threatening to disavow the ben act, he says he how things went behind the chamber won't send a letter for an with mps from his party that had extension, in effect threatening to break the law of the land. we have been resolutely against theresa to hold him to account in the best may's deal, offering some warm words way of doing that is removing him about this one, but what happened from office, getting to place a place of safety with the election overin about this one, but what happened over in brussels and in dublin, there were extension, and then put there has started to be a bit more this to the people. i am confident pushback than there was yesterday we will defeat the brexiteer around the deal and it shows that it argument in scotland, but it makes is not just about around the deal and it shows that it is notjust about getting parliament this case for us that if scotland on side but there needs to be a deal wants to stay in the eu then we need to make that decision in scotland, a cce pta ble on side but there needs to be a deal acceptable to the eu 27 and they we need to make sure an independence have some big issues with this referendum comes on the people of one—stop white it was lively in the scotland can vote for independence house of commons, many suggesting that boris johnson in scotland remaining in eu country. house of commons, many suggesting that borisjohnson has put forward a deal he knows europe will turn down opposition parties elsewhere in the uk have to take the responsibility because he is determined to have a no deal brexit. this all interfaces taken brexit. there is no such thing asa taken brexit. there is no such thing as a good brexit and we will certainly campaign against what with the ban act and the potential borisjohnson is

certainly campaign against what boris johnson is seeking certainly campaign against what borisjohnson is seeking to do. that boris johnson with the ban act and the potential that borisjohnson will need to ask thank you. boris johnson foran that borisjohnson will need to ask for an extension on the 19th of october. while they are pushing for borisjohnson is seeking to do. thank you. borisjohnson a bit more optimistic about that, he thinks it potential no deals, it is still isa optimistic about that, he thinks it is a compromise, he feels the uk has compromised and he is very much com pletely potential no deals, it is still completely unknown how they would hoping that he will do the same. achieve that given what is in the government has urged the eu legislation. the one way we know the to take what it calls a flexible and creative response ban act could fall away is if the to its new brexit proposals. we're expecting the first prime minister can get a majority of official response from the chief brexit negotiator mps to vote in favour of a deal michel barnier this afternoon. before the 19th of october but from brussels, adam fleming has the latest. critically that would require the eu the brussels machine is processing to up toa critically that would require the eu to up to a deal and it would need to the british proposals. this morning, senior members bea to up to a deal and it would need to be a joint thing. looking at what of the european parliament sounded unconvinced. the feedback from the eu so far is, and remember, they will vote they are suggesting that effectively on any final brexit deal. we are very sceptical about these they are suggesting that effectively the real issues, the issue of a proposals because mainly it is repackaging the old proposals frictionless border at the heart of the backstop, this does not solve that have already been discussed it. exactly and here you can see between the two parties. basically the two sides are trying to solve different problems. from and so we are very sceptical, the uk site they are saying it and we think that it is not wouldn't necessarily give us any a serious alternative

infrastructure on the border and trade would be as frictionless as for the backstop. possible, whereas the eu is saying, the final verdict will come what we signed up to way back in from the eu's negotiators, based here at the european commission. december 2017 was that there would its president was briefed by borisjohnson yesterday. be no physical infrastructure but presidentjuncker stressed also no associated checks of any the withdrawal agreement must have a legally operational solution, kind in order to protect the way not arrangements that are to be developed and agreed that trade flows across that border. in the transition period afterwards, at the moment they are kind of and that this solution must meet trying to solve two different all the objectives of the backstop problems and until there is a shared which are preventing a hard border, understanding, it looks very preserving north—south cooperation, difficult to come up with a mutually and the all ireland economy, and protecting the eu's single agreed solution. the difficulty for market and ireland's place within it. the government also, having to keep they are also concerned about giving an eye on what is happening all the northern ireland assembly around it and we had from the snp at stormont the power to pull the plug effectively saying, if you are prepared to do on the whole arrangement, this for northern ireland, perhaps even to prevent it coming into force scotla nd this for northern ireland, perhaps scotland should have a separate relationship with the eu as well. in the first place, and some countries are worried about the uk's exactly. this is interestingly one of the issues that the eu has as vision for its future economic well because the uk is asking for a relationship with the eu. translation: today boris johnson whole load of derogations to its is making proposals.

customs regulation in order to make we have to see if the this plan work and one of the things norms are respected. i don't want any tax haven that the eu is concerned about is next door to europe. that the eu is concerned about is why? that then all of a sudden borders because our businesses all around the block, they will be a here are required to respect environmental, social neighbour saying, we quite like that and fiscal rules. thing that northern ireland has got the uk negotiators will be back with the eu and actually maybe we in brussels with their plans and their folders tomorrow, would like an exemption for small but there's really not much time traders along our borders, it is to get a new deal before a crucial quite interesting that the tooth summit of eu leaders in a fortnight. sides are facing similar issues. adam fleming, bbc news, brussels thank you very much. in the last few minutes, let's get the perspective from those the irish taoiseach leo varadkar says the uk government's proposals mps strongly in favour of leaving are welcome but fall short the eu. in some places. a little earlier, our assistant political editor spoke to mark francois. crucial for borisjohnson will be the reaction of some of his hardline both countries are very keen to see brexiters in the erg who made life a deal that allows the uk to leave a misery for mrs may and so far, the eu in an orderly fashion, but the signs seem well, not in such a way that undermines fairly positive for mrjohnson. the integrity of the single market i'm joined by mark francois, one oi’ the integrity of the single market or causes a hard border on the of the leading lights in the erg. island of ireland. the proposals are you inclined to back this package? that have been put forward by the uk the greatest problem

are certainly welcome in the sense with the original withdrawal that we now have written proposals agreement was always the so—called backstop because in a nutshell, that we now have written proposals that we now have written proposals that we can engage on, but they do. it meant we didn't leave the european union. the prime minister's proposal gets it in that we can engage on, but they do. itina that we can engage on, but they do. it in a number of aspects, certainly rid of the backstop and replaces it oui’ it in a number of aspects, certainly our view is that in any consent with alternative customs mechanism that were to exist would arrangements in northern ireland. have to be reflective of the views there are other issues, of the whole of the population of not keen on paying £39 billion northern ireland and not give any when the house of lords has said clearly we don't pay them one party of any denomination a a penny, for instance, but the absolute crunch issue was always the backstop. veto, and also we need to explore what i pointed out in the commons and much more detail the customs proposals being put forward as it is a few minutes ago was that when all these other options very much the view of the irish were voted down, the customs union, government and the people of a second referendum, norway, ireland, north and south, that there the one option that did get should not be a customs checkpoint through was the so—called brady amendment, the essence oi’ should not be a customs checkpoint or tariffs on trade between north of which was to take and south. how is it being out the backstop. received in brussels? our correspondent, that passed injanuary by 16 votes. damian grammaticas, is there. language like, it full short in so to paraphrase, the answer is yes. several areas, means there is room there are still some for negotiation. i think that's issues that we would want some reassurance on, pushing it a bit. ithink but the crunch issue was always the backstop. for negotiation. i think that's

pushing it a bit. i think what it means is that the eu will engage if you voted against, with this and we know now that the if you thought these other issues were so significant that you couldn't back it, uk chief negotiator will be here a you would surely risk forgoing little later today now to go through brexit altogether because that some of the detail with the eu, and would mean you've had four goes at it and four times it today he is —— here tomorrow he is had been voted down. inevitably, momentum would build due to have more talks. that is not behind a referendum or a vote, negotiations, i would say, that is so this really is probably your last the eu going through the proposals chance to get brexit done. point by point, saying how does this we voted for the brady amendment work, how do you plan to have two back injanuary all bar three different customs areas, northern ireland and the republic, and no members of erg voted for it. checks, no infrastructure? how would i voted for it, bill cash voted the paperwork work? how would for it, so you are sending a signal customs checks happen? all these today that if the essence questions will be put to the uk side. that is different to them of the deal is to remove hammering out a text they can both the backstop, we might well look live with. but i think really key favourably on that, not least as it has the support was in the last few minutes the of our close friends in the dup. i guess my point is you're not going to get another chance. irish prime minister leo varadkar, this is it for you in that same press conference he went on and was asked about, in a if you want brexit. it's also it for the no—deal you will have checks anyway, european commission. the ball is now over and his answer was very instructive, the net in their court.

the house of commons he said, yes, we would have to will only vote on this really manage that but that is very if the eu have agreed it. if not, it is no deal, different from signing up to an so partly the house of commons today international treaty which brings in i think is sending a message checks and controls on the island of to the eu, this is your last chance too. ireland, and he said that is it's of course a guessing game something he would not countenance. in these proposals from the uk mean but the parliamentary arithmetic, checks and controls on customs and tax on the island of ireland, so mister varadkar‘s position seems to be he could not sign up to this and dup on board, you guys broadly on board would seem to suggest that that i think would be reflected by mrjohnson is in with a chance the rest of the eu as well. that of getting this across the line, if of course it's approved said, will he be getting some by the european commission. pressure from others in the eu just yes, and the point i was really to move a bit? i'm not sure, stressing is there is a precedent. we kind of road tested this once before with what was called actually. i think the eu will be the brady amendment. the essence of which was to remove looking at these proposals and the backstop from the agreement. wanting to get the uk to try and we voted on that on the 29th move a bit. because there is another of january and it passed the house of commons by 16 votes, significant problem here as well, 317 2301, so he must have a fighting 317 to 301, so he must have a fighting chance which is you heard a few minutes ago from the spokesperson from the because there is an actual precedent european commission, saying they where it went through. need legally operable, workable solutions, and they do not see that

have you actually removed in these proposals at the moment, the backstop or have you guys because what the proposal say is just swallow your pride that the sides should sign up to because there will still be full regulatory alignment promise not have any checks that with the european union for all goods travelling work out the details later. and that for the eu is not a legal operable from northern ireland into ireland, solution, a solution that on day one could go into effect, it is a promise to try to work something out in other words, large chunks in the future, which they have had of the single market back before in the negotiations and will still apply to northern did not like then. sol ireland. back before in the negotiations and did not like then. so i don't see them putting pressure on ireland to as my colleague steve baker said agree to that, what they would be doing i think is putting pressure on recently, it is not ourjob the uk side to try to summer answer though some of those questions. in the erg to be more unionist than the dup. thank you. they will be the ones and the people of northern ireland most directly affected by this. let's get some more on a story if they can live with it, developing this afternoon. a man has attacked the headquarters we can probably live with it too. thanks very much for your time. of the paris police force, armed with a knife, of course, whether there is a vote injuring several people. here, whether there is ever a vote it's reported that four people have been killed. a police union spokesman said here depends not what happens the attacker had been shot dead in the commons, not in the first by a police officer at the scene. place anyway, it depends on what happens in europe because if europe give it the thumbs down, there won't be a vote here. in a moment, the latest business news. first a look at the headlines bring this up to date on what we on afternoon live: french media reports say a man

have so far. as you say, the with a knife has killed four people at the police headquarters in paris. assailant appears to be an employee the prime minister says his new brexit proposals are britain's chance to get a deal — of the police, not a police officer we believe but a civilian employee. as he lays out his plans to mps. the high court in belfast has ruled according to some sources there that northern ireland's abortion laws are in breach of the uk's seems to have been some kind of human rights commitments. altercation, work—related, a knife was produced, for police officers have been stabbed to death and the here's your business headlines on afternoon live: assailant himself was shot by shares in ted baker dived another police officer, i think, in as much as 41 per cent the courtyard of the building. just after the british premium fashion to orient people, this is the retailer warned its weak financial performance might worsen over headquarters of the paris police the rest of the year. force, bang in the heart of the worrying signs for the uk economy as a key survey city, that small island abounded on suggests a slowdown — with firms braced for the risk both sides by the river ssend. just of a disruptive brexit in just a few weeks' time. by notre dame. and we are looking at the services sector — the biggest by far in the uk — live pictures now. talk to me about shrank last month. and combined with weak manufacturing what was happening within the and construction surveys, police, because this comes the day september's all sector reading after there was a strike. there is is the lowest since the month after the eu referendum injune 2016.

growing concern in the french police force about a on officers. it is not wine, cheese and scotch whisky have uncommon elsewhere in this day and been hit with us tariffs — age, but french police unions have a new front in donald trump's trade been getting more agitated about war could open up as the us is allowed to impose tariffs on eu this problem. and it isn't simply, goods after a 15—year battle over there is no suggestion yet at all, airbus subsidies. that this is a terrorist attack, we don't know yet the exact motivation, but of course the level of violence and aggression against police so the us is set officers, quite apart from the ever to impose tariffs on £6.1 billion present threat of terrorism, is pounds worth of eu exports in this growing ever larger, even though most of the french police obviously are armed themselves, and that is ongoing airbus row? something that has led to lots of u nrest something that has led to lots of unrest within the ranks of the yup, this is the latest chapter in a 15 year police force and, as you say, battle between the us and eu and their respective airlines — recently a strike and paris by no boeing and rival airbus. back in 2004 — the us first filed means a stranger to terrorist attacks. and it will always be on a complaint with the wto — high alert for something like this. arguing that cheap european loans for airbus amounted for anybody who travelled to paris to illegal state subsidies. in recent years or other places in france, even the french military is and therefore unfailry a fairly regular actor on the french disadvantaged boeing. now the wto has given the us

streets, but the capital is clearly the go—ahead to impose tariffs very heavily policed. this event on $7.5 billion worth of it happened inside the police imports from the eu. headquarters itself, so by the ruling definition police officers were on will mean tariffs could be imposed on eu goods ranging from — the scene. as you can imagine now, not only aircraft — there is chaos in the area, roads but cheese, olives, jumpers are closed, the mayor of paris is and scottish whiskey(but probably heading there, possibly the president himself may be visiting only the more expensive single malt, not the belnded variety, the scene. but at the moment it is still a question of trying to build from 18 october. up still a question of trying to build upa still a question of trying to build up a picture of exactly what happened and clearly thepchaiya un—nooh fatalities plus a fifth the brussels has threatened assailant himself, the real question to retaliate similarly is what precipitated this crisis, is against us goods. this an individual who might be suspected or suspicious in any way, possibly not since they were an samira hussain is at employee at the police prefecture, but lots and lots of questions at the new york stock exchange. this stage rather than answers. any the list of eu products at risk it is fast and most don't seem to have developments, i know you will bring them to us. thank you. anything to do with the airline

industry. absolutely and what the united states is really trying to show here is that look, we can let's get more on the brexit really hit the european union pretty proposals. we just let's get more on the brexit proposals. wejust had let's get more on the brexit ha rd really hit the european union pretty hard and that is what they want to proposals. we just had a statement from the eu. i will read this just do, because as you pointed out, this fight has been going for 15 years. as it comes. the bsg it says does not find these last—minute proposals any attempts at negotiations really of the uk government in their didn't pass any muster with the us and so what they're trying to do is current form represent a basis for an agreement to which the eu send a clear sign that this is parliament could give consent. the proposals it says do not address the unacceptable. europe is trying again real issues that need to be resolved to negotiate with the united states, if the backstop were to be removed, to negotiate with the united states, to try and come to some sort of namely the all ireland economy, the resolution here, butjust think full respect of the good friday agreement and the integrity of the single market. it goes on, while we about the administration that we have right now in the united states. remain open to workable legally it is one that is not afraid of operable and serious solutions, the using tariffs and it is not afraid uk proposals for short and represent of prolonged trade wars. it might be a significant movement away from a difficult time for them to try and joint commitments and objectives and engage in any sort of diplomacy. as particular concern was expressed about three aspects of the i was saying, brussels has proposals, first, the proposal on threatened to retaliate, so where do we go from here? that is right. customs and non—regulatory aspects, explicitly provided for in the

infrastructure controls and checks. which we've been talking about brussels has threatened to retaliate and are trying to use that as a way for them to try and get the united already. second, the uk proposals would operationally only be worked states to negotiate the terrace they out in detail during a iii month are going to impose. remember, there is also another fight that is coming transition period, this does not provide the necessary certainty or in next year, because as you pointed fulfil the agreed principles, it out, the united states complained about airbus but then europe made says. and in summary, it says, we the same complaints about the have grave concerns about the boeing, that they were in fact the proposal as tabled. so let's go to recipient of unfair subsidies and the world trade organisation is vicky young in parliament. any going to rule on that particular motion next year. another chapter in optimism that there was will be given a heavy dose of cold water this 15 year battle. for now, good with that. i think that's the point, there are slightly parallel to talk to you. let's have a look at universes. here we have conservative mps and even some labour mps the markets now. there we are. sounding quite positive about all of this, but of course borisjohnson has to get the deal first. so i think most people think that he will put forward some proposals, there could well then be counter proposals from the european union, from possibly, we are meant to bring you brussels, we have to see what the shape of it finally if there is a

the ftse because the ftse1oo not having a good day. it is really deal looks like. a lot of people making the point that some of these proposals have already been rejected slumping. primarily because of that gloomy pmi data, that survey showing by the eu. let's speak to the conservative mp, greg hands. you are that the service sector, by far the very involved in drawing up alternative arrangements to the biggest in the uk economy, has backstop, your document was put forward by the pro—minister is slumped. ted baker shares down some something to read. just explain how it would work, because those checks 33%. they had their third profit the uk government previously said warning in seven months and the there would be no checks on the trouble with that ted baker is island of ireland and now they say having today seems to pan across the they well. i think it's important to understand the difference between a clothing industry because next shares are done and boo—hoo shares customs declaration on the customs check. a customs check is something that happens at the border. what the are also dull. not a good day for retail or the ftse100. thank you. government proposals are and which are very similarto government proposals are and which are very similar to what my alternative arrangements were, were to actually have a declaration which can be done away from the port their web order, from the place of origin, the winner of the royal institute of british architect's most prestigious award, not dissimilar to how tax and vat the riba stirling prize, will be announced on tuesday. there are six nominations for britain's best new building 2019 operate, businesses effectively make which include a railway station, a declaration but there is not an opera house and a property

necessarily a check, or certainly made entirely of cork. not a cheque at any border. so that all this week we have been taking a closer look is to some extent trusting people, at each of the nominated buildings. and that's the problem that some today people have with it. in terms of we are looking at the goldsmith street project — which at first glance just looks trade across the border in northern like a simple series of terrace ireland we need to understand that only 1% of the total trade between blocks arranged in four lines. but it's actually a very special estate, as it's the first ever the uk and the european union goes over that border. each year. so we scheme of council housing to be nominated for a riba architecture prize. are not talking about it massive norwich council commissioned the project which is being hailed trade border, ithink as a pioneering example are not talking about it massive trade border, i think it's about 8 of sustainable social billion of goods crosses the border housing for the future. each year. it's primarily two types of trader, there are five or six big multinationals who do most of the trade, and they could quite easily asa be put into trusted trader scheme. as a council we had been interested in fact the eu already has such in building new social housing for quite a long time. the properties we have here are all built to passive similar scheme, we have looked in oui’ similar scheme, we have looked in our proposals as to how that could work. and then how you deal with the house standards which has lowered the energy bills. houses have to be large numberof work. and then how you deal with the large number of small traders, we actually proposed a commission that highly insulated and airtight. you exempt them entirely but we really simple things like you can't think they will be other ways where have a letterbox in the front door you wouldn't need to have a border so we have a letterbox in the front door so we have had to find places for

check, you could have a declaration, do it all electronically. in a letterboxes. but more significant similar way to how tax and vat than that, it is a fabulous place to live so even if you are in a single operate. it's still bureaucracy, and northern ireland businesses have flat, you have a balcony, if you are said they are very concerned about a family, you have outdoor space but it. in a commission we have been there is communal space as well. one quite frank it is not the status quo, but brexit was never going to bea of the most successful aspects of quo, but brexit was never going to be a status quo event. the question is how do you keep trade flowing in the social issues. we were keen to a reasonable way. i think the uk ensure that front doors face front government is willing to step in doors, something like a traditional from what i am reading on the small print, in terms of helping people street is good for that. to make it make that adjustment. but it is also less car orientated so there are worth remembering that border is many more places for people just to already a border for other things, walk or children to scoot without for excise, the currency, the vat, having to cross a road. we have carved out these play spaces which so for excise, the currency, the vat, so it is not beyond the realm of all the residents have access to, so imagination to imagine it could be a customs border as well without any the children can play securely, infrastructure. briefly, do you overlooked by their parents so there think there's any chance of boris isa kind overlooked by their parents so there is a kind of social aspect of the johnson getting the deal he wants? yes, i think there is. scheme which i think it's really johnson getting the deal he wants? yes, ithink there is. we have taken successful. people walk in and are oui’ yes, ithink there is. we have taken our commission proposals, the impressed as if you have built alternative arrangements commission

proposals, around eu capital is the theirs. i didn't choose the brickwork or front door, but it is la st proposals, around eu capital is the last three or four months, the government's proposals are similar clear someone has an someone did to these, and we have had a good ca re clear someone has an someone did care that i liked my home and that reception. in fact, one specific, means a lot to me, that someone put somebody asked me why don't we just the effort to say, let's try do that instead? in fact, one something different, and it doesn't specific, somebody asked me why feel like i rent a house, it feels don't we just do that instead? and andi don't we just do that instead? and and i think that is a basis here for like i own a house which is really and i think that is a basis here for a good negotiation, i think there is a good negotiation, i think there is a deal that can be done, i am very nice. hopeful. thank you very much. we you can find out more will have to see what happens in the about all of the nominated next few days. the government are buildings on the bbc arts website and watch this year's riba saying they want to get into stirling prize live here on the bbc detailed negotiations very quickly news channel next tuesday evening from 8.30. now it's time for a indeed. look at the weather. time for a look at the weather... good afternoon. storm lorenzo is now south korea, but these storms not brewing up across the western side just fire off japan. and south korea, but these storms not just fire offjapan. and there is rather a big sporting event going of ireland, the rings are on. strengthening, trains arriving at we thought we'd take a look at it. the cloud is with us as well. the they've all had one storms is the fair weather cloud to start with will be replaced by layer cloud. we rugby world cup started. this was in south korea yesterday. generally had some early morning sunshine, south korea yesterday. generally south korea yesterday. generally south korea had to 300 millimetres

albeit on the chilly side. the cloud of rain yesterday, probably six to is rolling around our storm. this 12 hours, in this tropical storm contains some tropical air so this which started as a typhoon in the storm is of particular concern open ocean, went through as a tropical storm and now has been because of the strength of the downgraded further. but its track is winds. particularly for error where now taking it back out of south korea and it will head across the sea of japan. so we have the orange warning up. but korea and it will head across the sea ofjapan. so yes it's going to it will be a windy spell for much of come into japan, deep area of low pressure, quite a bit of rent and northern ireland, the western side of the uk later today when windstar rain. it looks as if it will skirt towards the north. so the rugby is took to cost you 40—50 mph. taking place a bit further south by temperatures down as well after that the time you get saturday. as we get chilly start. not much strength in ourtime the time you get saturday. as we get the sunshine to lift them at this our time here, when england take on time of year but with more cloud argentina, but it will be quite coming in overnight, as well as warm, argentina, but it will be quite warm , you argentina, but it will be quite warm, you have all that tropical those wins, it will not be as cold, air, and it could still be a bit drizzly. but it looks as if it exceptin those wins, it will not be as cold, except in the far north but it will should be escaping the worst. i be windy with gales around the irish believe this is a stadium where they sea coast particularly around wales don't have a roof to close. the and the south—west of england. that spectators are sheltered but not the players themselves. well, they are will still be blowing a gale tomorrow morning through the rush hour, still more cloud than we had this morning, outbreaks of rain

fairly tough. absolutely, but if it which will slowly pizza out through the day but it is one of those days was absolutely pouring down it can be quite unpleasant. and closer to with rain on and off. you might need your umbrella if you can keep it up home? first morning with the hat on. in those wins. the rain eases away, temperatures a couple of degrees but it has warmed up a little in the higherjust because temperatures a couple of degrees sunshine that we've enjoyed. but in higher just because of temperatures a couple of degrees higherjust because of the tropical air involved. saturday, it is quite west star six, the clouds piling in, because we have light winds, clear skies, some fog and ground flush piling ina issues but later we have this next west star six, the clouds piling in, piling in a of storm lorenzo. it is quite a huge low pressure, it band of rain moving into northern dominates most of the north atlantic, it is throwing cloud and ireland, western scotland. that now rein ahead of it. some sunshine looks more of a rainmaker because it isa looks more of a rainmaker because it is a slow—moving feature. itjust left but the winds are clearly going to be the main cause for concern. stag nates is a slow—moving feature. itjust that is what we are warning about, stagnates as you can see throughout thatis that is what we are warning about, that is what the met office is sunday, only slowly moving warning about. potentially severe eastwards, giving most of us gales right along the atlantic potentially 20, 25 millimetres of rain which could after what we have coastline of ira and so those could bring down the odd tree. 50 to 60 had rain which could after what we have ha d rece ntly rain which could after what we have had recently with the ground being saturated, give us some local flooding but the rain does petered out as we go through the day. but mph gusts of wind, good autumnal you can see behind me more weather

gales. through this evening and fronts stacking up in the atlantic, ready to come our way as we head overnight we will push the rainfall into next week. there are warnings further east. we don't need any more, it has been very sudden of out, more for you just before half late. it doesn't look like it will past. produce a huge amount of rain, the winds whip up, tonight will be far milder. so tomorrow morning shouldn't be as chilly. but it will be quite dank and it will be quite cloudy, nowhere near as sunny as this morning. but it's an improving picture from the north, we start to see the rain petering out, that gales ease through the day and temperatures will do a little better than today because we have all the tropical air in the mix. a drying up picture through tomorrow, the winds start to ease, so by saturday morning it could be quite chilly again, a touch of ground frost, some mist and fog, and the most a fine day. but here comes the rain into ireland and western scotland later

in the day, head of it we pull in southerly wins, so it's mild. but this could be more of a rainmaker as we get into saturday, because it becomes slow—moving. a low pressure develops it and you can see the many areas there will be a good dollop of rain. a good inch. some places up to 30 or 110 millimetres. so after what we've seen already we don't want this rain. there could be some local flooding issues. we will keep an eye on it. through sunday it tends to pull away. as it does so things cool down a little, but generally temperatures random average for the of year. we are concerned about the storm lorenzo. you'd get all the 00:29:44,259 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 details on our website. hello, you're watching afternoon live. today at 3pm: a man with a knife has killed four police officers at their headquarters in central paris.

this is the scene live, where the area has been sealed off — the attacker, who's not been named, is said to be a member of staff, and was later shot dead by police. the prime minister tells mps he's made a "genuine attempt to bridge the chasm" in order to get a fresh brexit deal with the eu. they do not deliver everything we would have wished. they do represent a compromise, but to remain a prisoner of existing positions is to become a cause of deadlock rather than breakthrough. the proposals are unrealistic and damaging and will, as i think the prime minister full well knows, be rejected in brussels, rejected in this house, and rejected across this country! the irish prime minister, leo varadkar, says britain's plans are welcome but were not yet acceptable in a number of areas. the high court in belfast rules that northern ireland's abortion laws are in breach of the uk's human rights commitments. it's a massive relief that we've

actually heard today, the judges recognised that we did have a standing and that my human rights were breached. coming up on afternoon live, all the sport: there's a much needed win for ireland at the rugby world cup and the hundred, cricket's new competition is beginning to take shape, details of the first player draft coming up. thanks. and we'll have all the weather. where storm lorenzo is making its presence felt across the western side of ireland, that is the main weather story for the next 2a hours. i'll have that and a little more for you just before half past. also coming up, the family of a seriously ill five—year—old girl have won the right to take their daughter to an italian hospital for treatment.

hello, everyone — this is afternoon live. a man has attacked several people with a knife at the headquarters of the paris police force. french media are reporting that four officers have died. a police union spokesman said the attacker worked at the headquarters in an adminstrative role. he was shot dead at the scene. bring it up—to—date, frank. the attack only happened a couple of hours ago and it is an extraordinarily high death toll for one single person wielding a knife, and it took place right in the heart of not only paris's historic quarter, close to notre dame, but inside police headquarters, citing questions will be asked as to how somebody was obviously cleared, he had worked there we are told for 20 yea rs had worked there we are told for 20 years in the intelligence division, so he was an employee, it impairs to bea

so he was an employee, it impairs to be a case of a disgruntled employee. there are a lot of tensions at the moment of the french police, only a day ago an estimated 27,000 french police marched in protest at the enormous stresses they'd been under. remember that for the last four yea rs remember that for the last four years france has suffered a number of terrorist attacks, then they had the yellow vest attacks, many of which were very violent, and they are feeling overstretched. now, we don't know what turn this individual into a violent alleged killer, he was shot dead on the scene. but not the head he had —— not before he had knifed to death three men and one woman. knifed to death three men and one woman. so for one person using a knife to do that, it is hard to understand how that's possible. given that there are lots of police around! the investigation will need to look in several things, firstly what was his state of mind, what was his grievance, did he leave a note?

who was the last person to have seen him when he went to work that day? did he say he was going to do anything? has he left a digital trail? most importantly, was he inspired by anybody else over this? in other words, is there a link? at the moment it is very important to say there is no suspicion this was a terrorist attack. it appears on the surface, and often this is the trouble for us in a 24—hour news business, people often jump to conclusions, which a lot of people did over the attack in norway which everybody thought it was al-qaeda, it turned out to be a right wing extremist. in this particular case it appears this is a disgruntled employee who has taken out his anger on his own colleagues. but how did he get a knife in there? how was he allowed to have this lethal weapon right inside police headquarters?|j was right inside police headquarters?” was going to say, we are talking about paris, which is sadly no more than its fair share of terrorism in recent yea rs.

than its fair share of terrorism in recent years. a city where police are on edge most of the time. and yet they would not have been right inside police headquarters, that is the point, this was supposed to be safe zone. this did not happen at the doorstep, or the gates or on the street, this was right inside the street, this was right inside the street street and headquarters. and here was somebody who was a known figure, not yet named, somebody we told who had worked there for 20 yea rs told who had worked there for 20 years in an administrative role, so he had full clearance, how he got the knife in a where he got it from we do not yet know, all of that will come out eventually in the investigation. but this comes against a background of over 250 people in the last four years who have been killed in terrorist attacks, so france is still on a certain degree of alert, if you look at the pictures around this you will see well armed french soldiers and policemen standing guard. but where this attack took place was supposed to bea this attack took place was supposed to be a place of work, utterly secure, it should have been one of the most secure places in the whole of france. frank, thank you.

the prime minister boris johnson has outlined his plans for a brexit deal in parliament. he said the government has gone the extra mile with the proposals which he called a sincere effort to break the deadlock. however, in the last hour a number of meps from a european parliament steering group have released a statement saying the proposals ‘fall short‘ of what is required to gain their support, and do not ‘even remotely‘ act as a replacement to the northern ireland backstop, which is designed to prevent a hard border with ireland. our political correspondent, nick eardley reports. what was the mood in here this morning? perhaps relief — the brexit plan hasn't been dismissed outright. likely some optimism, at cautious backing from rebel mps. this brexiteer minister arriving for cabinet says it is all looking good, and from the man in charge of government discipline, a thumbs up. borisjohnson's government will be defined by what happens in the coming days and weeks, whether he can persuade europe and westminster. the brexit debate has been long...

husky voice: order, statement - the prime minister. boris johnson hopes his proposals are the solution. they don't deliver everything we would have wished, they do represent a compromise, but to remain a prisoner of existing positions is to become a cause of deadlock rather than breakthrough, and so we have made a genuine attempt to bridge the chasm, to reconcile the apparently irreconcilable, and to go the extra mile as time runs short. his tone was markedly different from last week's bruising exchanges in parliament. it is to the credit of our european friends that they have accepted the need to address these issues and i welcome the constructive calls i have had over the last 2a hours. some in his party won't necessarily like everything, but he hopes there is enough to finally get almost all of them on board. let's seize this moment to respect brexit, get brexit done,

and i commend this statement to the house. labour say this plan is even worse than the last one, and with suggestions some of his mps could back the governmentjeremy corbyn had this warning. no labour mp could support such a reckless deal that would be used as a springboard to attack rights and standards in this country. others too lining up to show their opposition. these proposals are unacceptable, they are unworkable and they are undeliverable. it is all about blaming someone else. in this case, the european union when its plan is rejected. -- his —— his plan. but crucially some on the government's side who refused to back the last deal are more open to this plan. what we have now is a sensible uk wide arrangement for customs out of the eu and if there's any regulatory difference to be had, we haven't agreed to that but the process has now been agreed

it has to have the ascent and consent of the elected representatives of the people of northern ireland which is a vast improvement. there is a mood for compromise, people want to get this done and there is considerably more trust in the final outcome of brexit because boris is committed to a free trade agreement at the end of it so i would say there is very strong grounds for optimism. the question is whether the eu will be prepared to compromise, because if they won't then we will leave anyway on the 31st of october, i have no doubt about that. borisjohnson faces a race against time to try and get a deal done, to answer the many questions the european leaders have two and to win over enough mps at home could get a deal through parliament. some encouraging signs at home but the pm now faces the challenge of convincing european leaders, a task that will, begin in the coming days. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster.

back to vicki young at parliament. i think people here were struck by the difference in atmosphere and tone in the house of commons today compared to those angry scenes last week. borisjohnson really being conciliatory, saying to lots of mps if you have any questions i can talk you through it all. we will see how many hope week to let meetings he holds in the next few days. but the main thing he has to do is persuade the eu. let's speak to hilary benn. you've dismissed these proposals out of hand, why? i think the problem with them is first of all they involve customs checks in northern ireland, the promise to himself has said that. and the whole basis of the agreement was reached in december 2017 between the eu and the uk was the government policy for three years they would be no checks, no infrastructure, nothing of that sort, now the prime minister has said because northern ireland will

be leaving the customs union along with the rest of the uk they will have to be checks. the second problem is the idea that the northern ireland executive and assembly, assuming they are up and running, can decide that northern ireland will not be part of this common zone for goods, agriculture, manufactured goods, and the moment if they were to decide to say they didn't want to be part of it, then you've brought back a hard border, and in those circumstances how can anyone rely on these proposals? not anyone rely on these proposals? not a deal, these proposals from the government, to ensure that under all circumstances that border remains open? which is what up until this point all parties have been agreeing to. having said that, if there is no—deal and we go to no—deal, that's exactly what we are going to get, ha rd exactly what we are going to get, hard border, aren't we? the house of commons has made it quite clear it does not support an ideal brexit, we passed legislation. it only defers at the end of january. that's true

and we need to find another way out of this. there are a growing number of this. there are a growing number of mps who recognise the any way to resolve this is go back to the british people, to put a deal that has been negotiated, and the option of remain, and say we are deadlocked and you need to decide. because three and half years on, we now know that what was offered by the leave campaign, you can have all your sovereignty and keeper of the economic benefits, was not true. there are compromises and trade—offs. in the democratic thing to do is that confirmatory referendum because it is a confirmation between on the one hand borisjohnson's confirmation between on the one hand boris johnson's determination to leave without a deal and the lib dems saying they would cancel the whole referendum result, which i don't think would be good for our democracy. this began with the people and i think we should end it was going back to the people, i respect the responsibility we have not keep deferring this. but you know what people see, why would a

brexiteer except a second referendum result that went slightly the other way? he won't accept the first one which didn't go according to what you wanted, why should they? people are entitled to stand up for what they believe in, to campaign for what they wish. part of a democracy it seems to me is do the public have the right to change their mind? i'm arguing fora the right to change their mind? i'm arguing for a confirmatory referendum not because i know what the result will be, i don't come in the result will be, i don't come in the polls are quite close to dot out but in the end it would resolve it. and now we know what the choice that brexit involves because no one voted for a no—deal brexit because the cat might leave campaign did not argue for one, they said don't worry, we will get a deal. and this year michael gove said the british people did not leave their wed vote to leave without a deal. and i agree with him. and since people didn't vote for a no—deal brexit, putting the one deal that has been negotiated at the moment, the only one agreed by the two parties is

theresa may cosmic deal, put in, say, that the people, then they could decide between that and remain. thank you. so those are still the possibility is that people are thinking about. the government though, sounding confident, they feel they would have the numbers in the house of commons if the eu agreed to this deal. let's look more closely at reaction from within the eu27. earlier this afternoon, speaking from stockholm, the irish taoiseach leo varadkar said the uk government's proposals were welcome but fall short in some places. both countries are very keen to see a deal that allows the uk to leave the eu in an orderly fashion, but not in such a way that undermines the integrity of the single market or causes a hard border on the island of ireland. the proposals that have been put forward by the uk are certainly welcome in the sense that we now have written proposals that we can

engage on, but they do full short in a number of aspects. it in a number of aspects, certainly our view is that in any consent mechanism that were to exist would have to be reflective of the views of the whole of the population of northern ireland and not give any one party of any denomination a veto, and also we need to explore and much more detail the customs proposals being put forward as it is very much the view of the irish government and the people of ireland, north and south, that there should not be a customs checkpoint or tariffs on trade between north and south. meanwhile, the european parliament's brexit coordinator, guy verhofstadt, has described the uk government's latest proposals to secure a deal with the eu as ‘unworkable'. it depends the whole package, it depends on an agreement of the assembly in northern ireland. and this assembly, stormont, is not even

in place, already for three years they are not in place. so it is a little bit difficult to make a proposal that is depending from the authority that doesn't even exist. and also will maybe not exist in the future. our correspondent, damian grammaticas, is there. the mood music is not good. very, very sceptical. i think what you heard there is the parliament, which isn't a negotiator here, but would have to approve the final deal, but the key thing with the parliament is they can go a bit farther and voice what is perhaps really being thought in the background, where the institutions that is a negotiation area institutions that is a negotiation are a little more concerned about the politics, so they have been welcoming the parliament giving this tough line, saying this is unworkable. i think he said it's not realistic or viable on those two

grounds, particularly the idea that there could be a veto for the democratic unionists, which could stop any of this coming into force, and then the question would be what happens then about the border arrangements? an equally how this whole customs issue would work, how having the northern ireland and the republic in different territories could be done with no checks, because the eu's view is clearly that this would entail checks somewhere. there are those who believe this is all part of a cunning plan by borisjohnson who wa nt to cunning plan by borisjohnson who want to know deal brexit and this is the way he can now turn round once the way he can now turn round once the eu looks at the proposals, turn them down and he can say it's all brussels' fault. people do suspect that, and he said yesterday it is a plan designed to be rejected because he sees it as so impossible for the eu to agree to it. i think that is also why you are seeing the rest of the eu engaging, they want to engage, they want a deal, they do see some things in this, the idea

that northern ireland could align with the eu on single market rules, thatis with the eu on single market rules, that is something to get their teeth into and work with, but what we don't have at the moment and i don't think we will get the... real negotiations on a final deal, what we will have is the eu quizzing him, saying how do you ensure no checks, what happens if there is a no vote, or if storm want isn't even up and running? how does that leave all these plans? and that is where what these plans? and that is where what the eu says about having illegally operable plan is crucial on day one, this is full of holes of the eu that are not answered, and doesn't do what the current backstop does which is have a plan ready to go that is watertight and workable, everyone knows how it would function. and ultimately, also, we have the issue i think of ireland and its view, and leo varadkar was very clear in his state m e nts leo varadkar was very clear in his statements in stockholm, his press conference there, he was asked dot

to dot he said it is very different, ireland could not sign up to a treaty that now that brought in checks on the island of ireland. so he would appear to be unable to sign up he would appear to be unable to sign up to this. damien, thank you. you're watching afternoon live — these are our headlines: french media reports say a man with a knife has killed four people at the police headquarters in paris. the prime minister says his new brexit proposals are britain's chance to get a deal — as he lays out his plans to mps. the high court in belfast has ruled that northern ireland's abortion laws are in breach of the uk's human rights commitments. in sport, ireland are back on track at the rugby world cup injapan. they beat russia 35— 04 a bonus point victory. another big win against samoa in their final match will guarantee a place in the quarterfinals. the first player draft has taken place for the 100, cricket's new competition which starts next summer. joe root will play for the

trent rockets in nottingham. and terry abraham looks to have committed his international future to england, the chelsea striker with a nigerian father has been called up for this month cosmic euro qualifiers. details on that and the rest of today's sports news in the next 15 minutes. a couple from east london have won their legalfight to have their severely disabled five—year—old daughter moved to an italian hospital. five—year—old daughter moved doctors caring for tafida raqeeb had argued that further treatment was futile. our medical correspondent, fergus walsh, reports. # here i am, here i am...# tafida raqeeb was a bright, lively child until in february this year, when blood vessels in her brain ruptured. she's been in intensive care on a ventilator at the royal london hospital ever since. the hospital wanted to end life support, and denied her parents' wish to have her transferred to a hospital in italy.

so, the dispute went to the high court. emerging victorious this morning, tafida's parents now know they've won the right to keep their daughter alive. our beautiful daughter tafida is not dying. we are continuously seeing small but important signs that she is gradually improving. we have always been hopeful that she might make something of a recovery, if she is given the time, and the right treatment continues. during the high court case, the family showed the judge videos they'd filmed off tafida moving her limbs. tafida's mother says she is convinced her daughter recognised the sound of her voice. thejudge said tafida could be safely transferred to an italian hospital. mrjustice mcdonald said this is a very finely balanced case. although tafida is minimally aware and totally reliant on others, she is medically stable and not

in any pain. he said, given for the parents tafida's sanctity of life was of the utmost importance, he was satisfied that life—sustaining treatment should continue. tafida, hi! the judge said the italian doctors hope that in time tafida might be able to be cared for at home, on a ventilator, and might live for another ten to 20 years. fergus walsh, bbc news, at the high court. let's get more reaction and analysis now on the prime ministers plans for a brexit deal after he outlined them earlier in his statement to the house of commons. he said the government has gone the extra mile with the proposals which he called a sincere effort to break the deadlock — however in the last hour, a number of members of the european parliament's brexit steering group have disagreed saying the proposals fall short of their expectations. asi as i speak to you donald tusk is

tweeting. he says today i had to phone calls on brexit, mighty —— message to leo varadkar is that we stand message to leo varadkar is that we sta nd fully message to leo varadkar is that we stand fully behind ireland. my message to borisjohnson, we remain open but still unconvinced. joining me now is columnist from the guardian, dawn foster, and deputy political editor of the spectator, katy balls. let's talk about boris johnson earlier today, because it was... the tone was markedly different. he was ina very tone was markedly different. he was in a very conciliatory mood. yes, i think he had previously been very combative but now we are getting closer to the deadline and he seemed to be trying to convince parliament that actually the proposals he had put forward, the buffer zone around the irish border, were managed to actually meet all the requirements that people have been asking about. but people remained unconvinced. do you think they where unconvinced or are people just so desperate for

some sort of deal that theyjust welcomed any proposal?” some sort of deal that theyjust welcomed any proposal? i think in terms of who he has to convince there are two different audiences. there is brussels, where it's safe to say it's not looking good. and a british audience and i think in terms of parliament it is going much better. we saw a soon as the letter was revealed yesterday put out by the government, you had a few mps not representing the labour party but ones who we think are the potential to get behind the deal, mps representing leave seats saying they were broadly supportive, we also heard from eurosceptic mps who pride themselves on not going for the withdrawal agreement of theresa may saying they were open to it. so i think what boris johnson said was that he planned to bring people with him. and you can see that working, toa him. and you can see that working, to a degree. all the conservative rebels, unsurprisingly, said they do wa nt rebels, unsurprisingly, said they do want a brexit deal and they will go

for this. but ultimately to get to the arithmetic part where we work out of it and pass the commons, you have to pass the brussels stage and i don't think it's clear that that will happen. and you can't do one without the other. precisely. and i think one of the big problems as he hasn't been particularly clear about how he thinks checks will happen around the border. i spoke to a lot of people in northern ireland who run businesses, who represent the business community, and off the record they said they were com pletely record they said they were completely unconvinced, they had no idea how this would work. boris johnson said they would be no physical infrastructure, and we know from surveys of people in northern ireland that any physical infrastructure runs the risk of being torn down. but if there is no theoretical infrastructure it is unclear theoretical infrastructure it is u nclear exactly theoretical infrastructure it is unclear exactly how the cheques will happen. it interesting, listening to ian blackford from the snp making the point, and it was raised

yesterday, that scotland is saying, hang on, if northern ireland can have its own deal with the eu, then so should we. this could just have complicated things even more, couldn't it? i think it could in terms of the union, but i think most of the roots of brexit that boris johnson is looking at complicated in some form because they mean a different type of arrangement. i think if you look at the various blocks, the snp where they can will make the argument that it means they should also have these options available to them. on the brussels and uk side though, given the situation with the irish border, there is the view that this is a special case and that is where this has been the focus of so many discussions. i think if you look at the problems, you had leo varadkar identifying two main ones, first the identifying two main ones, first the identify of —— the idea of having a customs territory, and borisjohnson was talking about how they would be abroad landing space, which does

suggest the uk side could move slightly stale. i think on those two potential issues, the second is also the idea of the storm and lock, so getting for your approval. i think there is move their wedding room to move on the governments side there. i don't think borisjohnson move on the governments side there. i don't think boris johnson will move on the fact that northern ireland has to be on out of the customs union. boris johnson said this was a genuine attempt to bridge the chasm. there are plenty of people who say he has no intention of doing that, he helped wants to leave without a deal and now he will have someone to blame because europe will say no. absolutely. there was a lea ked will say no. absolutely. there was a leaked letter that borisjohnson's aid sent to mps encouraging them to call people and got brussels crazy if they came out against the proposal. and when you look at the detail, there isn't very much. he hasn't been particularly clear about exactly how this will happen. and because he hasn't been clear, it's very obvious that he doesn't really wa nt

very obvious that he doesn't really want it to happen. we are careering towards no—deal, he said he wants an election, labour and the opposition parties say they are happy to have won parties say they are happy to have won if no—deal is blocked. and he has not moved for it. so i think we are definitely going towards no—deal. and he wants someone to blame and that will be brussels. do you think you wants a deal?” blame and that will be brussels. do you think you wants a deal? i think he does want a deal, partly because it makes things electorally more easy for him. i think the timing re nt easy for him. i think the timing rent an election, i think there are some tory mps a bit worried about trying to pass a deal before a general election, because it might help nigel faraj if people think this is a brexit betrayal, but broadly speaking i think boris johnson does want a deal. and there has been movement. you can look at whether dup have moved, what they've agreed to under borisjohnson in terms of various members of the single market, northern ireland staying... that's a significant move from where they were under theresa may. i think there is enough for the uk to say it's a reasonable offer, but there is still a big gulf

between the two sides, i think it's helpful to borisjohnson between the two sides, i think it's helpful to boris johnson and between the two sides, i think it's helpful to borisjohnson and partly why he's being so polite in the commons today and not saying words like humbug, is because ultimately he can say all these opposition mps thought it was reasonable and then brussels say no, that is something they can point out in a general election to say he was working towards something. gracie both. thank you for coming in. campaigners who claim changes to the pension age discriminated against millions of women born in the 1950s and 60s have lost their case to have the plans reviewed at the high court. the judges ruled there was no discrimination on the grounds of sex as the law didn't treat women any differently than men, rather it corrected a historic discrimination against men. after the ruling, this statement was read out outside the high court on behalf of the claimants: the aim of this arduous legal process has been to rectify a substantial and far—reaching injustice which has impacted u nfa i rly injustice which has impacted unfairly upon at least 3 million

women, causing them lasting and u ntold women, causing them lasting and untold damage. the hardship caused by this situation has become increasingly recognised by the wider public over the last decade. sadly, today that injustice remains. more reaction coming up but let's have a look at the weather. there is the rugby world cup and what we are looking at here may have an impact. a link there because we have these storms going on. this was south korea yesterday where they were inundated with rain, two, three, 400 millimetres in some parts. this is what happened as a result of that. yes, it may well have an effect on the rugby because it is a tropicals film. it was a typhoon to start with. quite a big and ferocious

beast but gradually it comes northwards. it has deteriorated, much has storm lorenzo. this one is heading towards japan. there could be just heading towards japan. there could bejust some heading towards japan. there could be just some drizzly rain for the argentina england match. where we are seeing that action taking place in tokyo, it could be drizzly as a result of that storm, but it will not be a deluge. but it will be warm and high humidity. you are worried about the players because the audience have cover. yes! the spectators will be fine. for those of us at home, what have we got in store for the next few days because it's a turning very cold. it is. but it's a turning very cold. it is. but it is back to the mild now. we have

a notice that today if you have been out and about because the cloud came up out and about because the cloud came up quite quickly on top of the chilly weather but with lorenzo and more atlantic fronts to come, temperatures won't be too much of a problem. except perhaps friday and saturday. let's have a look at what is happening in the uk. a beautiful start to the day. crisp, sunny. it has thickened quite dramatically since and we have seen the rain struggling across the irish sea. this is storm lorenzo. it had some tropical air in it, hence giving us quite a wallop with the winds. that is why we have the orange warning for the strongest of the winds. they are up to around 45 mph and they will increase further, particularly for the west coast of ireland. it does look as if because this is

quite a quick moving area of low pressure, that rain won't last too long and it is more a concern for the winds. the winds overnight escalate around the irish coast and wash coast. possibly as much as 60 around the coast. given we have had some windy weather already, that is a slight concern and some spray and standing water is that rushes its way through. having had that chilly start this morning, much, much milderfor most of start this morning, much, much milder for most of us but much cloudier with rain as well. the rain will ease as we go through the day so also the winds. quite pleasant tomorrow afternoon if you do see some brightness but on the whole we have quite a cloudy picture until later in the day. the cloud melts away into saturday and saturday morning, quite chilly once again. a bit of mist and fog a then a nice day for most of the country.

southerly winds, quite respectable for october, 13—16. but the rain is with us across northern ireland and western scotland. this could be more ofa western scotland. this could be more of a rainmaker than storm lorenzo because this hits through saturday night into sunday and it is slow—moving. warm air mixed in amongst there, lots of moisture so this could give quite widely10—20 millimetres, double in some places. we will keep an eye on that, as we could have further issues with flooding. quite mild, but the wetter day, it only eases that rain later in the day. warnings enforce force for more detail you can head to the website.

this is bbc news — our latest headlines: french media reports say a man with a knife has killed four people at the police headquarters in paris. the prime minister says his new brexit proposals are britain's chance to get a deal — as he lays out his plans to mps. they do not deliver everything we would have wished, they do represent a compromise, but to remain a prisoner of existing positions is to become a cause of deadlock rather than breakthrough. the proposals are unrealistic and damaging and will, as i think the prime minister full well knows, be rejected in brussels, rejected in this house and rejected

across this country! the european council president, donald tusk, says the eu stands fully behind ireland, and although they remain open to negotiations, they're still unconvinced about the new proposals. the high court in belfast rules that northern ireland's abortion laws are in breach of the uk's human rights commitments. women affected by the rise in the state pension age have lost their high court case against the government. sport now on afternoon live with olly. relief for ireland at the rugby world cup? they got the win they needed — 35—0 against russia. a tight turnaround for just five days after they were beaten by the hosts japan. remember, they came into the tournament as the number one team in the world,

but that defeat meant they had to get two bonus point wins from their final two matches. they've got one of them. the scoreline should perhaps have been bigger in kobe — they were 21—0 up at the break with three first half scores. rob kearney, peter o'mahoney and rhys ruddock went over, but they looked a little bit laboured at times. they'd made 11 changes to the 15 that lost to the japanse — andrew conway and garry ringrose were the second half try scorers, their fates still in their own hands. another big win against samoa next week will make sure that they are into the knockout stage, at japan or scotland's expense. jonny sexton was captaining ireland for the first time today, he went off with a thigh problem, but should be ok for theirfinal match. one other game today — a big win for fiji against georgia in pool d, but wales and australia are favourites to make

it out of that group. cricket‘s new competition, the hundred. we are getting clear ideas about how it will work and who will ta ke about how it will work and who will take part. eight teams spread across england and wales, each with a men's and women's team and we had the first picks today, most of the current england stars have been told where they'll be playing. ben stokes is off to the northern superchargers, jofra archer the southern brave, heather knight, the london spirit, one of two london sides. our sports editor dan roan was at today's player draft. it's cricket, but not as we know it. rather than the tradition of lords, an east end brewery the location for the launch of the sport's newest format. this morning, some of england's biggest names present, as they found out who they would be playing for next year in the hundred, a competition the ecb hopes will breathe new life into the game. get kids interested in cricket, and playing it, it will be

on free to air television, which is really important, we already saw the benefits of that with the world cup final. i think it's great for the game and the more people we can get interested in it, the better it will be for us. it's100 balls, the best players in the world, eight brand—new teams, in seven cities. traditional rivalries redefined. i'm pretty amazed at the kind of situation we have got at the launch. it feels like something that the younger generation can really buy into. the ecb hopes to build on england's world cup triumph and arrest a decline in the numbers watching the sport. but many ask whether there's a need or indeed room for another tournament, and worry it will alienate traditional fans and harm existing formats. no—one has yet explained where the new market is going to come from. many of us suspect the new market is not there. if that market does not exist, 200 million is being spent by the ecb to cannibalise

its existing three products, which makes no sense whatsoever. whether the hundreds an innovation too far or a brave new dawn, what's sure is that one of the biggest gambles cricket has ever taken has just moved a step closer and there's lots at stake. dan roan, bbc news. tammy abraham looks to have committed his future to england. the cheslea striker is eligible for nigeria through his father, but he's been called up by gareth southgate for this month's euro qualifiers against the czech republic and bulgaria. abraham, who's 22, scored in the champions league against lille last night. he won two england caps two years ago against brazil and germany, but they were friendlies so he could have still played for nigeria. his chelsea teamate fikayo tomori has his first call up. there could be another gold on the way for great britain at the world athletics championships in doha. after dina asher smith's victory in the 200m last night,

katerina johnson—thompson leads the way in the heptathlon after four events. she had a dream start when she set a personal best time in the hurdles and in the shot put. she leads the olympic and current world champion nafi thiam of belgium by 96 points. long jump, javelin and 800 metres to come. the javelin is going to be the key for her. that is her weakest event. we will see how she goes. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in the next hour. let's get more reaction and analysis now on the prime minister's latest brexit proposals — the plan that he outlined earlier to the house of commons. we can cross to westminster and speak to the crossbench peer lord jones. is it something that you think will be acceptable not only to parliament here but also to the european union?

the mood music suggests not. there are three parties in this, the european union, that place and there are the people and i think the people have had enough. around the country, little businesses, big businesses, remainers brexiteers have had enough and they want us all to say, stop all this and start telling us what you do want. from a conservative party point of view, i think this will be sufficient to bring all but the really two or three diehards out of the european reform group and into the tory mainstream to vote for it. i think the 21 who cross the chamber when they were expelled before prorogation, i think they will come back. and therefore he can work that through, provided your agree and the one thing that has been a symptom, a

characteristic of the year as attitude towards this, they are terrified of being blamed. they do not want anybody to say they are because of the problem. they have been trying to shift the blame on the united kingdom for years. how have they done that? for a start they have said no, no, no, and they have just watched the uk give in, give in, write a bigger chat, agree to this and that. i am not saying it is europe's fault but it is a characteristic that they don't want to be blamed. hang on, there was a deal that went through parliament. theresa may's deal that failed to get through the parliament in this country three times. we went no three times, they haven't. i'm not arguing with the facts. what i'm saying is they never wanted to be blamed and we are now looking at something where there's three

parties, the country out there, the bubble here and then europe, they all don't want to be the blockage any more and europe will probably, how do i know, how do you know, but probably the european union will not wa nt to probably the european union will not want to be seen as the final blockage and at some point either side of the summit of all the european leaders, i think they will agree to there. the suspicion is thatis agree to there. the suspicion is that is exactly the prime minister's strategy, he knows this is a deal the eu will not go for and will blame the eu. i don't believe that is why he's doing it. has he decided to do this so he shows up europe as the blockage and then he can say, they are stopping all this and on that basis i am off to the country's people's champion. i don't think he has done that at all but i do think he is going to put europe in a place where they were hard to say yes. he

is doing it for the reason of getting a deal through the, not for being the people's champion against europe. he was seen as an authority on business with your background and we have been hearing from businesses in northern ireland who are saying, how on earth will these proposals were? if you don't have a border, ha rd were? if you don't have a border, hard border with customs post there but he had to have an infrastructure somewhere, how does that work in practice? on the first point, loads of small businesses around the country, what they want is certainty, they have had enough, they are not investing, why? because they are not investing, why? because they need to touch the bottom of the simple we are swimming in. northern ireland's special issue and the practical point of following through what you have said, the practical application of the agreement or draft agreement, i think northern ireland businesses have an issue which is proved to us it can work in

practice. i think they are actually understanding why it will happen but it needs to win its spurs in the practical application and what i would say to that is, and i make this beta or politicians, trust business more. business are pretty good at being innovative and getting things done, businesses are pretty goodin things done, businesses are pretty good in ensuring things to get work through. that is how businesses make money so often and i would like to say, will you just for once, let the business men and women of northern ireland help that work and don't sit back and go, it is not going to work. i would say, let businesses make this agreement happen, whether it is in northern ireland or in the rest of the uk. the difficulty with that argument, i:e., rest of the uk. the difficulty with thatargument, i:e., let rest of the uk. the difficulty with that argument, i:e., let money do the talking... that is unfair. what you are saying is that profit do the

talking. i have not said that at all. what i have said is business men and women all. what i have said is business men and women are all. what i have said is business men and women are innovative people. they find ways around things, they understand the nuances of getting things done and on that basis, their talent, expertise and time can add a lot of value to getting it done and making this agreement work. if the by—product is that men and women in this country are employed, generate profit, pay tax and build schools and hospitals, what is wrong with that? but don't think they are doing it just that? but don't think they are doing itjust for money, that? but don't think they are doing it just for money, that that? but don't think they are doing itjust for money, that is unfair. if we are looking at the backstop, the heart of disquiet over all this, there are businesses who will say, thatis there are businesses who will say, that is all very well, we have had easy trade between north and south and now this proposal is suggested not one but two borders in effect. and your point is? if i was running a business, that would complicate things. more red tape, more

bureaucracy, more difficulty and understanding. good point. ithink it does create more bureaucracy and red tape but there will be a way through that as it worked out. there would be a way in which checks on trucks before they leave, after they arrived, whether they are sealed on the way through, there are loads of ways you can make this work, but i think they will accept more now than this thing not happening at all. lloyd jones, good to talk to you, thank you for your time. the high court in belfast has ruled that northern ireland's abortion laws breach human rights. the case was brought by a woman who was told by doctors that her unborn child would not survive outside the womb, but was denied a legal termination. there's a near total ban on abortion in northern ireland, but the law is set to change later this month, after parliament voted to intervene. emma vardy reports. sarah ewart became the public face of a debate about a deeply personal issue. six years ago, she went to london to have an abortion.

her unborn baby had a condition that meant she wouldn't survive outside the womb. it's not something i ever would have even dreamt of going through. northern ireland has a near—total ban on terminating a pregnancy, and sarah has fought through the courts to change that. thejudge ruled in sarah ewart‘s favour, saying it wasn't right to ask another woman to relive the trauma she had experienced. it's a massive relief that we have actually heard today that the judges recognised we did have the standing and that my human rights were breached. what's a few more days, just waiting on this to come through? we've done it for six years. but there remains a strongly supported anti—abortion campaign in northern ireland, who argue an unborn child has a right to life that should be protected. i think it's a very sad day for the people of northern ireland, it's a very sad day for the future of unborn children with special

needs when a court would make a decision to deny the very personhood and deny the right to life of unborn children in northern ireland. at the moment more than 1,000 women a year leave northern ireland for abortions, and today's ruling is another mark of the change taking place on what was a very socially conservative northern ireland. this recent demonstration was held to protest against legislation passed by westminster, which means the law on terminations is set to be relaxed later this month. the change will come in if the devolved government at stormont, which collapsed two and a half years ago, isn't restored in the next few weeks. abortion remains one of northern ireland's most emotive issues but it is now on the brink of change, decades after the rest of the uk. emma vardy, bbc news, belfast. in a moment we're going to bring you the latest

business news. first, a look at the headlines on afternoon live: french media reports say a man with a knife has killed four people at the police headquarters in paris. the prime minister says his new brexit proposals are britain's chance to get a deal — as he lays out his plans to mps. the high court in belfast has ruled that northern ireland's abortion laws are in breach of the uk's human rights commitments. here's your business headlines on afternoon live: shares in ted baker dived as much as 41% after the british premium fashion retailer warned its weak financial performance might worsen over the rest of the year. worrying signs for the uk economy as a key survey suggests a slowdown — with firms braced for the risk of a disruptive brexit in just a few weeks' time. the services sector — the biggest by far in the uk — shrank last month. and combined with weak manufacturing and construction surveys, september's all sector reading is the lowest since the month after

the eu referendum injune 2016. wine, cheese and scotch whisky have been hit with us tariffs — a new front in donald trump's trade war could open up as the us is allowed to impose tariffs on eu goods after a 15—year battle over airbus subsidies. you're looking at the retail sector this hour? and things still tough on the high street? earlier in the week, forever 21, that filed for bankruptcy. today it is ted baker. a high—end retailer with this fantastic history. it has released its third profit warning in seven released its third profit warning in seven months. this is the first set of results filed since the founder, ray kelvin, resigned in march. questions about whether this is something specific to ted baker or

if it is symptomatic of our changing shopping habits. let's get more detailed now and talk to a retail specialist. catherine, good to talk to you. what has gone wrong here at ted baker? what has gone wrong is a numberof ted baker? what has gone wrong is a number of things. they are a premium priced products retailers. they tend to sell in department stores and they have been hit by a massive amount of discounting in the market this year, they have also cited poor weather but the biggest thing that is concerning for them is its consumer confidence, a lack of it. people are just pulling back and they are not spending money at the top end, they are making do with what they had the year before. confidence, that word cited as key to that survey we had this morning about the slump in the services sector in the uk. simon made the point earlier, is there symptomatic of the issues the retail sector is

suffering? but worrying for ted baker, their online sales have also slackened off. this is the bigger concern because mostly when we talk about the retail sector, we talk about the retail sector, we talk about people spending money online but in ted baker's case, there is a slum online which perhaps are just people are tired of their product, they are not prepared to pay the price and they are turning to other retailers. so h and m today, slightly different market but still clothing have shown sales increases of about 25% on profit and 2% over all. really good results but they are selling at a lower price point and are selling clothes people want to buy quickly when the weather changes. interesting and unique to ted baker, the shop with this fantastic heritage and history, founded by what was regarded as a

highly charismatic founder, ray kelvin, back in 1988, he had to resign earlier in the year over residing over a culture of forced hugging, he denied all negations of misconduct. to what degree do you think that has clouded shopper views? internally in the business it has been a massive change around. he is still the biggest shareholder and loss in confidence in the organisation has not helped. shoppers are trying to make decisions in the things they buy in terms of the way companies are seen to behave. it is a number of things and we are being more choice one about the retailers and brands we will spend money with and it has not been helpful in the short term for the business, but hopefully they can re cover the business, but hopefully they can recover and they need to have a fantastic water going into christmas. they sell lots of winter coats, party dresses, this is a

great time of year for them. what they are crossing their fingers full is they will not be deep discounting by the retailers but that is a difficult hope to hold on for. many thanks. a quick look at the market. ted baker is still down nearly 36%. the ftse100 having a bad afternoon. that survey saying the services sector, accounting for 80% of our economy, has slumped again. brent crude has slumped to its lowest level in two months today. now the weather. after that frosty start to the day for some, certainly a chilly one, the cloud has been gathering across the western side of the country and for some eastern areas, fair weather cloud has been bubbling up. here in leeds, a

beautiful sunny skies ahead of storm lorenzo. storm lorenzo is winding itself up, starting to bring the rain into western parts, the winds are strengthening. gusty winds for the west coast. gus typically 45 to 50 miles per hour. despite the chilly start, temperatures have recovered, 13 to 15 degrees which is average for the time of year. through the evening and overnight, the rain will continue its progress northwards and eastwards, just a smattering further south. the wind is the main feature. but what we will notice tonight is it is much milder right across the board, after we had that ground frost first thing this morning. so quite a bit of cloud

will start our day. as i say, the winds may be the main feature still until the afternoon, where they start to ease away. some rain eases its way southwards, followed by brighter skies. and it will for most of us feel a bit milder as well i think, through the course of tomorrow — 12—17, because we've got some of that tropical air from that moisture mixed in. and then on saturday it might actually start quite chilly again, with some mist and some fog. a brief ridge of high pressure, a brief lull in the weather, before the rain sets in through the afternoon across northern ireland and western scotland. this, more of a rainmaker following on from lorenzo, actually. and the winds start to strengthen too. and you can see that 15 or 16 — a bit above average for the time of year. and then through saturday evening and overnight, that's a very slow—moving feature as the low pressure develops on it, staggering its way eastwards. so this actually could give us 30—40 mm of rain through the course of saturday night into sunday — probably northern england, scotland in particular, but you can see even in eastern england it gets stuck a little during the course of sunday before it finally eases away. and then we are set, with a very unsettled picture as well, as we move into the new working week.

as ever, the warnings are on the web. hello, you're watching afternoon live — i'm simon mccoy. today at 4. a man with a knife has killed four police officers at their headquarters in central

paris. this is the scene live, where the area has been sealed off — the attacker, who's not been named is said to be a member of staff, and was later shot dead by police. the prime minister tells mps he's made a "genuine attempt to bridge the chasm" in order to get a fresh brexit deal with the eu. they do not deliver everything we would have wished. they do represent a compromise, but to remain a prisoner of existing positions is to become a cause of deadlock rather than breakthrough. the proposals are unrealistic and damaging and will, as i think the prime minister full well knows, be rejected in brussels, rejected in this house, and rejected across this country! the european council president, says the eu stands fully behind ireland, and open to negotiations, but unconvinced about the new proposals from london. the high court in belfast rules that northern ireland's abortion

laws are in breach of the uk's human rights commitments. it's a massive relief that we've actually heard today, the judges recognised that we did have a standing and that my human rights were breached. coming up on afternoon live all the sport. a much needed win for ireland at the rugby world cup and the new cricket competition beginning to take shape. details of the first player draft coming up. helen has the weather. storm lorenzo is bearing down across the uk now and especially across the south of ireland. but we have let office warnings in place for the uk as well. more details later. also coming up. the family of a seriously ill five—year—old girl have won the right to take their daughter to an italian hospital for treatment.

hello, everyone — this is afternoon live. a man has attacked several people with a knife at the headquarters of the paris police force. four officers were killed — one woman and three men. with me now is our correspondent frank gardner. what do we know at the moment? the paris prosecutor has said the helm of the man who has not been named but we know he is 45 years old and had worked in the it department at the french police headquarters, his home is being searched unsurprisingly and they will be looking for any clues as to motive for prosecutors are examining the case, they have not declared this a terrorist incident and on the surface it would appear, if he was

an unknown, to be a terrorist attack but it has not named is that because this is someone on the inside who was well—known employees there. so they're trying to establish what his motive was and how it was that he was carrying a knife and was able to kill four people inside the paris police headquarters which ought to be one of the most secure places in france. we are talking about a city that has had more of its fair share of terrorism in recent years. but also a city that had a strike by french police just yesterday. also a city that had a strike by french police just yesterdaym also a city that had a strike by french police just yesterday. it did andi french police just yesterday. it did and i think that the french police feel that they are under enormous and unbearable stress. the numbers put about the strike, i think 27,000 police officers and they have been on high alert since january 2015 after the charlie hendo attacks when jihadists attacked the headquarters of the satirical french magazine.

and later that year the bataclan attacks and in all 250 people killed in the last four years in terrorist attacks including the attack in some 2016 in nice. when a tunisian man mow 2016 in nice. when a tunisian man mow down pedestrians. but this is an attack by an employee on fellow employees in what should have been one of the most secure places in the whole of france. we do not know if it was a personal motive, they will investigate to see if he has left any digital trail and was inspired to do this by any one else, any outside organisation. one of the surprising aspects, are we talking about him attacking them all at the same time because using a gun you could understand as many people dying at the same time but using a knife? reports are starting to emerge that he attacked people on

the stairwell, three men and one woman the stairwell, three men and one woman killed but others injured we are told so it is still hazy exactly what the details are and how he was able to get this weapon in there. without being searched. clearly he was not someone who was under suspicion so the french authorities are saying he had not shown any worrying behaviour or any traits. so no clues in other words that this was about to happen which makes it harder to try to investigate. was about to happen which makes it harder to try to investigatem was about to happen which makes it harder to try to investigate. it is too early to speculate on whether this is terrorism linked or not but the nature of terrorism is that it makes people feel vulnerable and feel less safe than they had before. this is is going to have the same effect we are talking about the tourist heart of paris. yes although it is too early to say it is terrorism, it is not explained at the moment, for it to be terrorism

and for the authorities to declare it to be terrorism it would have to be tied to some political motive. i don't want to speculate as to what it could be, at this stage it seems most likely to be a personal grievance of some kind but for that to be terrorism it would have to be aligned to some big objective or grievance against the government, some demand or something like that. people disagree on the definition of terrorism and my understanding is there still a universal definition. you can look it up in a dictionary and find different versions of it, we tend to avoid using that word on the bbc because one person plasma terrorist is another person's freedom fighter. frank gardner, thank you very much. the prime minister borisjohnson has outlined his plans for a brexit deal in parliament. he said the government has gone the extra mile with the proposals which he called a sincere effort to break the deadlock. in the last hour donald tusk, president of the european council,

has tweeted, "i had two phone calls on brexit, first with dublin then with london. my message to taoiseach leo varadkar was we stand fully behind ireland. my message to borisjohnson was we remain open but still unconvinced." our political correspondent, nick eardley reports on the days events. what was the mood in here this morning? perhaps relief, the brexit plan hasn't been dismissed outright. likely some optimism, but cautious backing from rebel mps. i think it's gathering support. this brexiteer minister arriving for cabinet says it's all looking good, and from the man in charge of government discipline, a thumbs up. borisjohnson's government will be defined by what happens in the coming days and weeks, whether he can persuade europe and westminster. the brexit debate has been long... order! statement the prime minister. boris johnson hopes his proposals are the solution. they don't deliver everything we would have wished, they do represent a compromise, but to remain a prisoner of existing positions is to become

a a cause of deadlock rather than breakthrough. so we have made a genuine attempt to bridge the chasm, to reconcile the apparently irreconcilable and to go the extra mile as time runs short. his tone was markedly different from last week's bruising exchanges in parliament. it is to the credit of our european friends that they have accepted the need to address these issues and i welcome the constructive calls i've had over the last 24 hours. let us seize this moment to honour our overriding promise to the british people, respect brexit, get brexit done, and i commend this statement to the house. labour though say this plan is even worse than the last one. and with suggestions some of his mps could back the governmentjeremy corbyn had this warning.

no labour mp could support such a reckless deal that would be used as a springboard — used as a springboard to attack rights and standards in this country. others too lining up to show their opposition. these proposals are unacceptable, they are unworkable, they are undeliverable. it is all about blaming someone else, in this case the european union, when its plan is rejected. but crucially some on the government's side who refused to back the last deal are a lot more open to this plan. what we have now is a sensible uk—wide arrangement for customs out of the eu and if there's any regulatory difference to be had, we haven't agreed to that, but the process has now been agreed it has to have the assent and consent of the elected representatives and the people of northern ireland. that's is a vast improvement. there is a mood for compromise, people want to get this done and there is considerably more trust

in the final outcome of brexit because boris is committed to a free trade agreement at the end of it. so i would say there's very strong grounds for optimism. the question is whether the eu is going to be prepared to compromise, because if they won't then we will leave anyway on the 31st of october, i have no doubt about that. boris johnson now faces a race against time to try and get a deal done, to answer the many questions the european leaders have and to win over enough mps at home to show europe that a deal could get through parliament. some encouraging signs at home but the pm now faces the challenge of convincing european leaders — a task that will begin in the coming days. nick eardley, bbc news, westminster. back to vicki young who's in westminster. the mood music from the european union at the moment is not especially positive and one wonders

if borisjohnson will be surprised by that. i think it feels a bit like parallel universes, here in parliament today boris johnson adopting a very conciliatory tone in stark contrast to the angry scenes of last week. and in response saying too many mps who had questions i will meet and talk it through the proposals. what is interesting is is this the final offer from the uk government because on tuesday night, the night before his speech at party conference, that is what we were told, take it or leave it for the eu. that language was not repeated by borisjohnson eu. that language was not repeated by boris johnson in eu. that language was not repeated by borisjohnson in his speech and has not been repeated by officials today and that did not seem to be the tone from the prime minister today. he spent much more about this being the landing zone, the beginning of a process. i think as things stand most people think that you will not accept what is on offer from the uk government so if they're going to be a negotiation with more

compromise from the uk side? of course if you do that borisjohnson and risks losing the dup and those conservative brexiteers who have not backed him in the past. so i think stand boris johnson can backed him in the past. so i think stand borisjohnson can look at those labour mps in parliament who already said they were back the deal and look at the conservative side, the dup site, all on board but the problem is all on board for his proposals and it has not been of course agreed by the eu. and he faces pressure from elsewhere, in fa ct faces pressure from elsewhere, in fact the leader of the brexit party nigel farage has said the new offer to brussels resembles an attempt to put lipstick on a pig. a cream brexit means that we could sign a deals immediately and be independent and free. just underlining this deadline borisjohnson and free. just underlining this deadline boris johnson is and free. just underlining this deadline borisjohnson is having to tread. much farage clearly wants a no—deal brexit and says there would end up being side deals but that is what he is going for, a no deal and

when it comes to a general election thatis when it comes to a general election that is exactly what he would be saying. that is why this is interesting and i think many mps in the last few days and cabinet ministers, most of them think we are heading towards a general election because i think they feel in the end borisjohnson even because i think they feel in the end boris johnson even though because i think they feel in the end borisjohnson even though he says he will not do it, we'll end up being forced to ask for that extension to article 50, that delay per brexit and what has been interesting privately wants change, many tory mps felt that if boris johnson was forced to do that it would be a massive problem for him then he went into a general election because the brexit party would say he has gone across his word and were not leaving at the end of october was up some ministers and cabinet ministers now think most of the public have watched boris johnson think most of the public have watched borisjohnson and think you've done everything he can to deliver brexit so we could end up in the courts again at the end of october but that delay would probably happen in order to held a general election and then of course at that point anything could happen. thank you very much.

how is it being received in brussels — our correspondent, damian grammaticas, is there. at the moment it looks as though the eu is not impressed by these proposals. i think that is right, when you drill down through the noises that we are hearing what you see is that these proposals do not amount toa see is that these proposals do not amount to a solution that works for the eu. i think very clearly. we heard from leo varadkar speaking in stockholm and he said that he had serious concerns about how this issue of consent would work, that you can't give a veto to one community in northern ireland but you have to take into account the views of all people in northern ireland and the republic. so that is a no—go. also the issue of customs and how this would work, how could you possibly he said have customs

territories and no checks. in the european parliament also critical saying that they do not believe that this is workable. the european commission a little bit more politic because it wants to engage and wants to see if it can draw more from the uk on this and the uk chief negotiator will be here but also saying that it needs a workable solution from day one. this is not a workable solution because it leaves many details to be worked out later down the line and brings in those controls that no one wants. when will we get a final decision from the eu given that they do not want to be seen to be rushing any decision as that would play into the hands of those who say that you are, they never wanted this anyway. hands of those who say that you are, they never wanted this anywaym hands of those who say that you are, they never wanted this anyway. it is a good question and i'm not sure, i think they will keep trying to play things along because what we see now is the prime minister's chief negotiator here discussing this to go through with the eu today and tomorrow. i think that will be the

eu quizzing him about the detail and how this possibly could address the issues that have to be solved. how can there be different customs territories and no checks, how would it stop the smuggling of goods and prevent the loss of tax revenue for the eu and all those kind of things will be asked of the uk side in the process could go on i think into next week. unless there is significant movement from the uk government which as we heard earlier, it would be politically difficult to do. then in terms of timetables we would get into late next week and maybe the end of next week, really pushing up against the deadline when it has to be clear whether something is going to be achievable for eu leaders meeting in the middle of the month. at the minute it does not seem that this provides that and there is not the pressure interestingly on ireland to concede in any way. donald tusk saying that they stand behind ireland and they are not convinced,

that was his message to london and the swedish prime minister also said it is not for ireland to make concessions but for the uk to agree with you on a way forward. thank you very much. you're watching afternoon live, these are our headlines a man has attacked several people with a knife at the headquarters of the paris police force. four officers were killed — one woman and three men. the prime minister says his new brexit proposals are britain's chance to get a deal — as he lays out his plans to mps. the high court in belfast has ruled that northern ireland's abortion laws are in breach of the uk's human rights commitments. ireland are back on track at the rugby world cup injapan. another big win against samoa in the final pool match would guarantee a place in the quarterfinals. the first player draft has taken place for the new cricket city face competition that starts next summer for the england test captain joe

that starts next summer for the england test captainjoe root will pray for the trent rockets in nottingham. and tammy abraham seems to have committed his international future to england, the chelsea striker has been called up for the euro qualifiers this month for the full update in the next 15 minutes. the high court in belfast has ruled that northern ireland's abortion laws breach human rights. the case was brought by a woman who was told by doctors that her unborn child would not survive outside the womb, but was denied a legal termination. there's a near total ban on abortion in northern ireland, but the law is set to change later this month, after parliament voted to intervene. emma vardy reports. sarah ewart became the public face of a debate about a deeply personal issue. six years ago, she went to london to have an abortion. her unborn baby had a condition that meant she wouldn't survive outside the womb. it's not something i ever would have even dreamt of going through.

northern ireland has a near—total ban on terminating a pregnancy, and sarah has fought through the courts to change that. thejudge ruled in sarah ewart‘s favour, saying it wasn't right to ask another woman to relive the trauma she had experienced. it's a massive relief that we have actually heard today that the judges recognised we did have the standing and that my human rights were breached. what's a few more days, just waiting on this to come through? we've done it for six years. but there remains a strongly supported anti—abortion campaign in northern ireland, who argue an unborn child has a right to life that should be protected. i think it's a very sad day for the people of northern ireland, it's a very sad day for the future of unborn children with special needs when a court would make a decision to deny the very personhood and deny the right to life of unborn children in northern ireland.

at the moment more than 1,000 women a year leave northern ireland for abortions, and today's ruling is another mark of the change taking place on what was a very socially conservative northern ireland. this recent demonstration was held to protest against legislation passed by westminster, which means the law on terminations is set to be relaxed later this month. the change will come in if the devolved government at stormont, which collapsed two and a half years ago, isn't restored in the next few weeks. abortion remains one of northern ireland's most emotive issues but it is now on the brink of change, decades after the rest of the uk. emma vardy, bbc news, belfast. a couple from east london have won their legalfight to have their severely disabled five—year—old daughter moved to an italian hospital. doctors caring for tafida raqeeb had argued that further treatment was futile. our medical correspondent, fergus walsh, reports.

# here i am, here i am... tafida raqeeb was a bright, lively child until in february this year, when blood vessels in her brain ruptured. she's been in intensive care on a ventilator at the royal london hospital ever since. the hospital wanted to end life support, and denied her parents' wish to have her transferred to a hospital in italy. so, the dispute went to the high court. emerging victorious this morning, tafida's parents now know they've won the right to keep their daughter alive. our beautiful daughter tafida is not dying. we are continuously seeing small but important signs that she is gradually improving. we have always been hopeful that she might make something of a recovery, if she is given the time, and the right treatment continues. during the high court case,

the family showed the judge videos they'd filmed of tafida moving her limbs. tafida's mother says she is convinced her daughter recognised the sound of her voice. thejudge said tafida could be safely transferred to an italian hospital. mrjustice mcdonald said this is a very finely balanced case. although tafida is minimally aware and totally reliant on others, she is medically stable and not in any pain. he said, given for the parents tafida's sanctity of life was of the utmost importance, he was satisfied that life—sustaining treatment should continue. tafida, hi! the judge said the italian doctors hope that in time tafida might be able to be cared for at home, on a ventilator, and might live for another ten to 20 years. fergus walsh, bbc news, at the high court.

our correspondent tolu adeoye is outside the high court with the latest. the girl has been on a life—support machine since suffering pleads on the brain her parents wanted to take a trip need to continue treatment because doctors in england said that continuing any trick was futile and she should be allowed to die for the this morning that ruling that her pa rents this morning that ruling that her pa re nts ca n this morning that ruling that her parents can now take her to italy, lots of ramifications of that and i'm joined by professor emily jackson, a specialist in medical law. are you surprised by the ruling? not surprised, the facts of the case are particular. this little girl was not suffering, treatment was not burdensome for her and taking her to italy also would not be burdensome and in this particular set of facts the judge decided it

would be in her best interests to let your parents decide and take a totally italy for continued treatment. many people remember the cases of alfie evans and charlie guide, what was different in this case because the parents there lost their cases? the difference here and all these cases are facts specific, the condition of this little girl in a stable and she could live for ten or 20 years. she is not suffering as a result of the treatment she is receiving and not in pain and moving her would not be burdensome to her. in this particular set of facts moving her is compatible with her best interests. there was also mention in the ruling about the religion because her family mention in the ruling about the religion because herfamily are muslims and they talk about the sanctity of life and how important that was. i think what the case establishes in some ways is that where a case is incredibly finely balanced the treatment may not benefit the little girl but does not burden her either, it is not burdensome and in those circumstances the religious beliefs of the parents were able to be a factor that meant they could decide

that keeping her alive was the most important thing for them. what about the implications for hospitals and doctors when trying to make these decisions? all cases are different and all cases of the facts have got to be considered and it is when the pa rents to be considered and it is when the parents and doctors cannot agree that going to court is often the only way to resolve disputes. the case does not change that but i think it suggests that where you have treatment that is not causing any burden to a patient then in the circumstances the parents, their wishes are important. thank you very much. now her mother have said it is now much. now her mother have said it is now vital that her daughter be moved to italy at the earliest opportunity for the bites nhs health trust is still considering whether to appeal the ruling today. campaigners who claim changes to the pension age discriminated against millions of women born in the 1950s and 60s have lost their case to have the plans reviewed at the high court.

the judges ruled there was no discrimination on the grounds of sex as the law didn't treat women any differently than men, rather it corrected a historic discrimination against men. after the ruling, this statement was read out outside the high court on behalf of the claimants. the aim of this arduous legal process has been to rectify a substantial and far—reaching injustice which has impacted unfairly upon at least 3 million women, causing them lasting and untold damage. the hardship caused by this situation has become increasingly recognised by the wider public over the last decade. sadly, today that injustice remains. the government has taken the unprecedented step of banning the export of some medicines because of supply shortages. the 24 products affected include hormone replacement therapy drugs, contraceptives and adrenaline pens. the move follows a survey of local pharmacists which found shortages of every major type of medicine

in the past six months. two people have been arrested after climate change activists sprayed fake blood across the steps of the treasury in central london. extinction rebellion protesters parked an old fire engine outside the building and spayed a pool of red liquid — of water coloured with food dye — opposite the entrance. four protesters stood on top of the fire engine, which had a banner slung across it with the words "stop funding climate death". now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. hello there. a lovely start to the date for most of us but the cloud has been rolling into the day and that is ahead of storm lorenzo. the main issue will be the strength of the wind, already pushing up the west of ireland and moving to the irish sea. there are warnings of some gales inland. up to

70 or 80 miles an hour along the irish sea coast. overnight the rain rushing east and more rain falling in behind. so after a chilly start this morning much milder overnight tonight. and tomorrow more rain to come around this area of low pressure as it crosses west to east and slowly the rain eases out. slowly the gale force wind easing into the afternoon. feeling a little milder than to date but with more cloud around. the warnings are on the website.

this is bbc news. our latest headlines. a man has attacked several people with a knife at the headquarters of the paris police force. four officers were killed — one woman and three men. the prime minister says his new brexit proposals are britain's chance to get a deal as he lays out his plans to mps. they do not deliver everything we would have wished. they do represent a compromise, but to remain a prisoner of existing positions is to become a cause of deadlock rather than breakthrough. the proposals are unrealistic and damaging and will, as i think the prime minister full well knows, be rejected in brussels, rejected in this house, and rejected across this country! the european council president, donald tusk, says the eu stands fully behind ireland, and although they remain open to negotiations, they're still unconvinced about the new proposals. the high court in belfast rules that northern ireland's abortion laws are in breach of the uk's human rights commitments.

women affected by the rise in the state pension age have lost their high court case against the government. the first ever scheme of council housing to be nominated for the most prestigious awards in architecture, the riba stirling prize. sport now, and we are talking the world cup rugby and ireland doing what they expected to do. they got the win they needed, a bonus point win. if you get four tries, you get the extra point, four points for a win and then the extra point the number of tries. it was 35—0 against russia and a really tight turnaround for the irish. a tight turnaround for just five days after they were beaten by the hosts japan , remember they came into the tournament as the number one team in the world, but that defeat meant they had to get two bonus point wins

from theirfinal two matches and they've got one of them, the scoreline should perhaps have been bigger in kobe, they were 21—0 up at the break with three first half scores. rob kearney, peter o'mahoney and rhys ruddock went over, but they looked a little bit laboured at times. they'd made 11 changes to the 15 that lost to the japanse , andrew conway and garry ringrose were the second half try scorers, their fates still in their own hands , another big win against samoa next week will make sure that they are into the knockout stage, at japan or scotland's expense. also a big win for fiji against georgia today , that was in wales' pool and england are the next of the home nations to play, their toughest match yet, against argentina , on saturday. (eddiejones has picked his strongest 15, owen farrell returns as captain from inside centre, george ford at fly—half. one change to team that started the tournament against tonga,

in the second row with george kruis coming in for courtney lawes have a look at the bbc sport wesbite forfull details of that england team. eddiejones has told everyone to ‘hold onto your seats ‘ he expects a big performance from his england team. we shall dojust that. let‘s look at cricket, the new competition the 100 will start i‘m getting an idea of how it will work. eight teams spread across england and wales, each with a men‘s and women‘s team . we had the first picks today. most of the current england stars have been told where they‘ll be playing, ben stokes is off to the northern superchargers, jofra archer, the southern brave, heather knight, the london spirit, one of two london sides. our sports editor dan roan was at today‘s player draft.

it's it‘s cricket but not as we know it, rather than the traditional lords it was an east end brewery for the launch of the format. the biggest names of the sport from england were present as they found out who they would be playing for next year in the 100, the competition the ecb hopes it will breathe new life in the game. get the kids interested in cricket and playing it. it will be free to airon cricket and playing it. it will be free to air on television which is really important and we saw the benefits of that in the world cup final, so i think it‘s great for the game and the more people we can get interested , game and the more people we can get interested, the better it will be for us. it's100 balls, the best players in the world, a brand—new team is, in seven cities. traditional rivalries redefined. i'm pretty amazed at the kind of situation we have here at the launch, and it feels like something that the younger generation can really buy into. the ecb helps -- hopes to build on the world cup triumph and arrest the decline in the numbers watching the spore but many ask if there is the need or

indeed room for the tournament and warriorfor indeed room for the tournament and warrior for alienate traditional fans. no one has explained where the new market will come from and many of us suspect that the new market is not there. if that market doesn‘t exist, then 200 million has been spent by the ecb to cannibalise its existing three products, which makes no sense whatsoever. whether the 100 is an innovation too far or a brave new dawn, what is sure is that one of the biggest gambles that english cricket has undertaken has moved closer and lots is at stake. tammy abraham looks to have committed his future to england. the cheslea striker is eligible for nigeria through his father, but he‘s been called up by gareth southgate for this month‘s euro qualifiers against the czech republic and bulgaria. abraham, who‘s 22, scored in the champions league against lille last night. he won two england caps, two years

ago against brazil and germany, but they were friendlies so he could have still played for nigeria. but he will tie down his future to england. his chelsea teamate fikayo tomori has his first call—up. there could be another gold for great britain at the world athletics championships in doha this evening. katarina johnson—thompson leads the way in the heptathlon — the long jump is just getting underway with the javelin and 800 metres still to come. dina asher—smith became world champion for the first time last night, in the 200 metres and in the last hour she‘s been given her gold medal. that goes with the silver in the 100 metres coverage of the heptathlon on bbc two right now. that‘s all the sport for now. let‘s get more reaction and analysis now on the prime minister‘s plans

for a brexit deal after he outlined them earlier in his statement to the house of commons. he said the government has gone the extra mile with the proposals which he called a sincere effort to break the deadlock. i spoke to columnist from the guardian, dawn foster and deputy political editor of the spectator, katy balls, and asked them why the prime minister seemed in a more conciliatory mood in the commons this morning. getting closer to the deadline, so he‘s trying to convince the house that the buffers on the irish border would actually meet all the requirements that people have been asking about, but people remain unconvinced. do you think they were unconvinced. do you think they were unconvinced or are people so desperate for some sort of deal that they just welcomed any desperate for some sort of deal that theyjust welcomed any proposal?m terms of who boris johnson theyjust welcomed any proposal?m terms of who borisjohnson had to convince, there are two different audiences. there is brussels where it's safe to say it's not going well for the prime minister and there is the british audience and in terms of parliament, it's getting much better. we saw as soon as the letter was revealed interesting and there

we re was revealed interesting and there were a few labour mps not representing the labour party but thought we had the potential to get behind a deal and representing leave seeds and they said they were broadly supportive if brussels agree and we also heard from eurosceptic mps who prided themselves on going for the redrawn agreement once and they were open to it. and i think borisjohnson in his statement and what he told cabinet before that was that he planned to be in moly and tampering people with him, and you can see it working to a degree but all the conservative rebels have said that they do want a brexit deal but ultimately to get to the arithmetic part where we start to work out of it can pass through the commons, you have to pass the brussels stage and i don't think it is clear it will happen. and dawn, you cannot do one without the other. no, precisely. one of the big problems is that he has not been particularly clear how the checks will happen around the border and

i‘ve spoken to people in northern ireland who have run businesses and represent the business community and they were completely unconvinced and had no idea how it could work in borisjohnson said there would be no physical infrastructure and we know from surveys of people that any physical infrastructure runs a risk of being torn down, but if there is not physical infrastructure, it‘s unclear how the cheques will happen. quite interesting listening to ian blackford from the snp making the point and this was race yesterday, that scotland are saying, hang on a minute, if northern ireland will be allowed to have its own deal with the eu, so should we. this could have just complicated things even more, couldn‘t it? have just complicated things even more, couldn't it? it could, get things in terms of the union but most of the roots of brexit that boris is looking at complicated in some form and it needs a different type of arrangement. if you look at

the various blocks, the snp will try to make the argument that they should have these options available to them. and on the brussels and uk side, given the situation with the irish border, given that this is a special case and it has been a focus, and there were two main problems identified, the first the idea of having a customs territory which isjust not the eu which is used to having two and bonds —— borisjohnson has used to having two and bonds —— boris johnson has been used to having two and bonds —— borisjohnson has been talking about there being a broad landing space which suggest the uk side can move slightly still, but the two potential issues over the irish sea, there is the second of the storm and lock and getting for your approval, there is room to move on the government side and i don't think borisjohnson will move government side and i don't think boris johnson will move on the fact that northern ireland has to be out of the customs union, so that is the biggest stumbling block. the winner of the royal institute of british architect‘s

most prestigious award, the riba stirling prize, will be announced on tuesday. there are six nominations for britain‘s best new building 2019 which include a railway station, an opera house and a property made entirely of cork. all this week we have been taking a closer look at each today, we are looking at the goldsmith street project, which at first glance just looks like a simple series of terrace blocks arranged in four lines. but it‘s actually a very special estate, as it‘s the first ever scheme of council housing to be nominated for a riba architecture prize. norwich council commissioned the project which is being hailed as a pioneering example of sustainable social housing for the future. asa as a council we‘ve been interested in building new social housing for quite long time. the properties we have here are all built to passive house standards, so that has lowered

the energy bills. the houses have to be highly insulated and airtight. really simple things like you cannot have a letterbox on the front door, so we had to find places for the letterboxes. more significant than that, it‘s a fabulous place for people to live, so even if you are ina single people to live, so even if you are in a single flat, you have a little balcony and if you are a family you have a little bit of outdoor space. there is communal space as well. for me, one of the most successful aspects of the social issues is that we we re aspects of the social issues is that we were keen to ensure that front doors face front doors, so something like a traditional street is very good for that. to make it less car orientated, so there's many more places for people to just walk or children to scoot without having to cross a road. we've carved out these play spaces which all the residents can have access to, so the children can have access to, so the children can play securely, overlooked by their parents, so there is a social

aspect of the scheme that i think is really successful. people walk in and they are kind of impressed, as if you built this. it‘s clear that someone has chosen this, and somebody did care that i liked my home, and it means a lot to me, that somebody put in the effort to say let‘s try something different and it doesn‘t feel like i rent a house, it feels like i own a house, which is really nice. let‘s speak now to louis browne, whojoins us from his home in goldsmith street. you were actually were working on the project and were so impressed that you decided to put your name down for one. yes, that's correct stop i was living locally to the site as well when i was working here andi site as well when i was working here and i worked here from the start to the finish and the whole development of the site and i had to put my name down for one because it‘sjust amazing, you never down for one because it‘sjust amazing, you never really see anything like this around here. just

explain, and! anything like this around here. just explain, and i want to go in the technical side in a minute, but what it is about it that made you go wow, i want to live here. you got a family, so what makes it doe —— so different? it's so lovely and the way the houses set out in the back garden backs onto a sort of passageway and our neighbours have got a gate and they can access the passageway two, and i will come home from work and my partner will go off to work and i will open the back gate and my little girl will be up and down on her scooter or bike and there are two gates at either end and they are code locked, so none of the kids can get out and my little girl is up and down on her bike and she‘s only three years old, and i thought, if she too young to do that? i didn't thought, if she too young to do that? i didn‘t let her out for the first few months and then i thought, well, we see how she goes and all the other children love her and she‘s made so many friends already.

it's she‘s made so many friends already. it‘s incredible, really, and that‘s what makes it more proud for me to see my little girl enjoying herself with her friends. you are a painter and decorator, aren‘t you, and i just wondered, in terms of the feel of the place, the use of curves and walkways, what does that do to people who live in these estates? it's people who live in these estates? it‘s just smart, isn‘t it? people who live in these estates? it‘sjust smart, isn‘t it? it‘sjust new and it makes it look special. it's new and it makes it look special. it‘s not just new and it makes it look special. it‘s notjust a housing estate, this isa it‘s notjust a housing estate, this is a lot more, and it catches the eye of everyone and if i‘m outside sorting my little garden out of the front, there are people constantly walking up and down having a look, especially when the site opened up. it was a massive thing to come and see. i'm just looking it was a massive thing to come and see. i'mjust looking at it was a massive thing to come and see. i'm just looking at pictures of it and it looks lovely and it‘s an example of what the germans call a

passive house, which means it‘s very energy—efficient, so explain what is different in that respect. in that respect we have triple glazed windows, and if you shut the windows and nowhere comes out at all. we‘ve also got a big unit in their which circulates the fresh air. we‘ve got co nsta nt circulates the fresh air. we‘ve got constant fresh air coming in and out of our building and it sort of blows out the not good air and brings back fresh air which is then blown back into the house and that‘s pretty amazing, to be fair, and i‘ve got like a little touch—screen dial in the kitchen where we can set fan speeds and set it over a period, like you would your heating if you wa nted like you would your heating if you wanted your heating on but we haven‘t had our heating on since we moved in. it‘s now starting to get cold, but the last two or three

nights i‘ve not even have the heating on. so itjust shows you that whatever stays in, stays in, u nless that whatever stays in, stays in, unless you open the window and door, and then you lose heat and it gets brought back up the body temperature and the fans going through helping it, it stays a certain temperature. we‘ve only got two radiators in this house, one in the living room and one in the bathroom, and that is it for radiators. you moved in in april, i think. for radiators. you moved in in april, ithink. and for radiators. you moved in in april, i think. and we are talking about this because it‘s up for an architectural award and there are opera houses, stranger designs that are upfor opera houses, stranger designs that are up for awards but its rather positive, isn‘t it common to talk about places where people actually live day to day and actually rather enjoy it and like it. yes, i enjoy it, i love it here. i really do and i went from a bottom floor flat that had a communal area ofjust like a grassy area , had a communal area ofjust like a grassy area, which was all right

when our little girl was only young, but she is now three, our little girland she but she is now three, our little girl and she loves this just as much as we do and obviously with her playing with her friends, as we do and obviously with her playing with herfriends, that as we do and obviously with her playing with her friends, that is amazing. it‘s safe as well and it feels so much safer than where we we re feels so much safer than where we were before. the people, everybody here has their own children and it‘s not like they were just given out to a single couple. everyone who is here has got children unless it‘s the flats, the one or two bed flats, but the houses, the communal area at the back, that was designed for bringing people together and it definitely has. i speak to all our neighbours, my partner speaks to all our neighbours and we get on really well. we had a barbecue with our next—door neighbour, and he plays football as well, so even better. louis, the smile says it all and i‘m

really grateful. thanks for letting us into your rather wonderful home. you are welcome. thank you. you can find out more about all of the nominated buildings on the bbc arts website and watch this year‘s riba stirling prize live here on the bbc news channel next tuesday evening from 8.30. in a moment alice is going to bring us the latest business news. a man has attacked several people with a knife at the headquarters of the paris police force. four officers were killed — one woman and three men. the prime minister says his new brexit proposals are britain‘s chance to get a deal as he lays out his plans to mps. the high court in belfast has ruled that northern ireland‘s abortion laws are in breach of the uk‘s human rights commitments. here‘s your business headlines on afternoon live. shares in ted baker dived as much as 41 per cent after the british premium fashion retailer warned its weak financial performance might worsen over

the rest of the year, worrying signs for the uk economy as a key survey suggests a slowdown with firms braced for the risk of a disruptive brexit in just a few weeks‘ time. the services sector, the biggest by far in the uk, shrank last month. and combined with weak manufacturing and construction surveys, september‘s all—sector reading is the lowest since the month after the eu referendum injune 2016. wine, cheese and scotch whisky have been hit with us tariffs. a new front in donald trump‘s trade war could open up as the us is allowed to impose tariffs on eu goods after a 15—year battle over airbus subsidies. the ftse100 here in london is heading for its worst week in years? yup, although slowly but surely, the ftse is pulling back its losses

for the day, now down just 0.5pc, despite sterling remaining high against the dollar. there is an inverse relation between the strength of serving and how well the strength of serving and how well the ftse100 is doing because so many companies listed and their profits in dollars. so as long as sterling stays high, that will add further pressure on the ftse100. the reason sterling has had a search is because the currency has reacted strongly to the brexit plans announced by boris johnson. but today there was a string of dire service sector activity that sent shockwaves through global markets in the us and germany. but, earlier in the day, a key survey showed a surprisingly sharp slowdown in the uk‘s service sector which accounts for 80% of our economy let‘s get more on all of this. paolo binns is a seniorfund manager for royal london. really good to talk to you. just talking about the slump in the

services sector with simon, it com pletes services sector with simon, it co m pletes a services sector with simon, it completes a trilogy of disappointing su rveys completes a trilogy of disappointing surveys this week, doesn‘t it, after a disappointing data for the construction and manufacturing industries. how seriously we should we ta ke industries. how seriously we should we take all of this? we've had months and months of weak manufacturing data and the markets we re manufacturing data and the markets were really looking at the service sector as a large part of the economy and seeing if that would filter through and impact, and of course, it has. we should take it very seriously and also within the data we saw that the labour market was coming under pressure and if consumers start to worry about jobs then that is obviously not good for then that is obviously not good for the overall economy and the data today suggested we might have a small contraction of the economy in the third quarter following a small contraction in the second. all of thatis contraction in the second. all of that is true, but others out there would say, hang on a little bit, let‘s be a bit sceptical about these su rveys let‘s be a bit sceptical about these surveys because let‘s be a bit sceptical about these surveys because that is what this

is, it‘s a survey, because in the past data we have had from the ons has been much more upbeat about the state of the economy.” has been much more upbeat about the state of the economy. i think until now state of the economy. i think until now the consumer state of the economy. i think until now the consumer surveys state of the economy. i think until now the consumer surveys have been pretty good. it‘s just the first time we have seen some weakness in that part of the economy, so i do think that the surveys matter and businesses have been talking for a while now about not being able to make investments because of the uncertainty around brexit. and now it‘s filtering through to the job markets but i don‘t think they bowed particularly well. as you intimate, largely a survey on confidence in the state of the economy. i also wa nt to the state of the economy. i also want to talk to you about the latest chapter in this 15 year trade war between us and the eu over whether

the eu has given illegal state subsidies to airbus. the wto has given a huge sum of tariffs on imports and in its extraordinary list of items due to have tariffs placed upon them. a lot of them are nothing to do with the airline industry at all, whiskey, jumpers, olives. it's not looking great. and it all sounds a bit like the news recently that has been grim, but if you look at the european economy, they are 40% of the exports and this is really bad news. we know that the us are going to pick on anything that might give them a small advantage over competition in trade and we‘ve seen from surveys earlier this week the impact that trade wars and tariffs can have on manufacturing industries, and this does not bode well for economic growth in europe, or the us,

actually. do we think this is talk or will it actually happened? the wto has given the go—ahead by brussels say they will retaliate, so do we think these tariffs will definitely go ahead? it's all a bit unpredictable and i‘m sure there will be a lot of negotiations going forward , will be a lot of negotiations going forward, so we will have to wait and see. ok, we will have to wait and see. ok, we will have to wait and see. the next chapter in this 15 year argument. what has gone wrong at ted baker and is it symptomatically what else is happening on the high street or specific to this particular shop?” think it‘s element of both factors and we‘ve had big management change at ted baker early on this year and they are citing more mundane things like slightly warmer weather in september and also talking about competition from discounters but the sector has suffered as a whole because of competition from the internet. internet sales of ten

baker —— ted baker fell slightly which intimates there might be a problem with the brand. it‘s something a bit more than the general malaise in the retail market. thank you so much, really to talk to you. the ftse100 not having a good week although its claw back losses largely to do with the survey saying now the services sector is in trouble and we had surveys out earlier in the week saying manufacturing and construction was also in trouble but as we were discussing our, some saying we have data out and we tend to be more positive but this is a forward—looking survey. we will have to wait and see. the oil price is worth mentioning today. it slipped again today completely erasing the surging price we saw after the attacks in saudi arabia and it‘s now near its lowest level in almost two months, so keeping an eye on that.

why? because of concerns about slowing global economy and the oversupply in the market, and of course the ongoing geopolitical friction in the middle east. concerns that were always there prior to that attack on those facilities in saudi arabia which saw the short term spike. alice, thank you very much. good to talk to you. hugh edwards will be here with the news at five and that‘s it for afternoon live. now it‘s time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. hello there. after that frosty start to the day for some, certainly a chilly one. the cloud has been gathering across the western side of the country. and for some eastern areas as well some fair weather cloud has been bubbling up, as you can see. here in leeds, beautiful sunny skies ahead of storm lorenzo. storm lorenzo is winding itself up, so it is starting to bring that rain into western parts of the uk. the winds are strengthening all the time — some very gusty winds for the west coast of eire, for example, and coming into northern ireland. gusts typically 45—50 mph, but on the coast 70—80, which could bring down the odd tree. and the rain is materialising

across the western side of england, wales and into the south—west of scotland. this but despite that chilly start, temperatures have recovered — 13 to 15 celsius, which is about average, actually, for the time of year. but as we had through the evening and overnight, and the rain will continue its progress northwards and eastwards, just a smattering further south, perhaps 5—10 mm. the winds, i think, the main feature of the weather, starting to pick up around the irish sea coasts and down towards the south and west as we head towards friday morning. so a bit of a buffeting here if you‘re travelling as we go towards the morning rush. but what we will notice tonight is it is much milder right across the board, after we had that ground frost first thing this morning. so quite a bit of cloud will start our day. as i say, the winds may be the main feature still until the afternoon, where they start to ease away. some rain eases its way southwards, followed by brighter skies. and it will for most of us feel a bit milder as well i think, through the course of tomorrow — 12—17, because we‘ve got some of that tropical air from that moisture mixed in. and then on saturday it might actually start quite chilly again,

with some mist and some fog. a brief ridge of high pressure, a brief lull in the weather, before the rain sets in through the afternoon across northern ireland and western scotland. this, more of a rainmaker following on from lorenzo, actually. and the winds start to strengthen too. and you can see that 15 or 16 — a bit above average for the time of year. and then through saturday evening and overnight, that‘s a very slow—moving feature as the low pressure develops on it, staggering its way eastwards. so this actually could give us 30—40 mm of rain through the course of saturday night into sunday — probably northern england, scotland in particular, but you can see even in eastern england it gets stuck a little during the course of sunday before it finally eases away. and then we are set, with a very unsettled picture as well, as we move into the new working week. as ever, the warnings are on the web.

today at 5pm... the eu says it‘s still unconvinced by borisjohnson‘s new proposals for a brexit deal.

the prime minister tells mps he‘s made a genuine attempt to "reconcile the apparently irreconcilable" to get a new brexit deal. they do not deliver everything we would have wished. they do represent a compromise. but to remain a prisoner of existing positions is to become a cause of deadlock, rather than breakthrough. what we have before us is a rehashed version of previously rejected proposals that put the good friday agreement at risk, that would trigger a race to the bottom on rights and protections for workers, consumers and our precious environment.
