2:02 pm
whom they regard as terrorists. next. i think we are beginning to get a pretty clear idea of how this the turks say they've hit more than 180 targets in air could shake out now. it looks likely and artillery strikes there will have to be a further since the attack began yesterday. one report said eight brexit extension, borisjohnson says civilians had been killed, he will comply with the wall. and tens—of—thousands are said to have fled the assault. the us secretary of state mike although he still intimates he has pompeo has been defending president trump's surprise decision some mechanism for getting ranted, to pull us troops out of the area, and has denied that it gave turkey not —— getting around it, not a green light for its attack. our correspondent martin patience sent this report from the turkey/syria border. entirely clear how. jeremy corbyn has given a thumbs up to a general this is the latest salvo of the syrian war. turkey this morning election saying one is no deal is of shelling positions in the north of the country. the table he would be prepared for labour to back a general election last night, its forces pushed when he has previously said he would into key towns along the border. kurdish fighters vowing to stop not do that. given that, it would seem not do that. given that, it would seem in the aftermath of the talks the turkish advance fired back. breaking down we would i think be moving fairly quickly towards a the men who led the fight against the islamic state group winter general election. thank you, norman smith. are battle hardened. but, without american support, they‘ re completely outgunned by the turkish military. our correspondent adam fleming civilians are also caught in the crossfire.

translation: after the turkish in is brussels for us. shelling on the border what we varadkar says is absolutely crucial to where we go from here. what we varadkar says is absolutely crucial to where we go from herelj just texted the entire british press areas, so far, we have backin just texted the entire british press back in brussels to find out what received ten patients. film or television reference they two of them are critical would use. lost in translation, and are having surgery. translation: after the turkish shelling on the border groundhog day, the thick of it, only areas, so far, we have received ten patients. two of them are critical foes and horses. the rest don't make and are having surgery. the number of injured any sense. a joint statement from is on the rise every hour, but we, the medical staff, are ready. america has been accused of stabbing leo varadkar and boris johnson the kurds in the back. any sense. a joint statement from leo varadkar and borisjohnson after their meeting. leo varadkar tweeted but donald trump is doubling down, showing no regret. it. the taoiseach and prime the kurds are fighting for their land, just minister, it says, have had a so you understand, they are fighting for their land. detailed and constructive and, as somebody wrote in a very, discussion. both continue to believe very powerful article today, ideal is in everyone's interest. they didn't help us in the second world war, with normandy, as an example. they believe they can see a pathway toa they believe they can see a pathway to a possible deal. based on they mentioned names of different battles. but they are there to help challenges of custom and consent, us with their land. and the potential to strengthen president erdogan this morning, making his first comments since the operation began. bilateral relations including northern ireland. they agreed to meet for their own discussions and
2:04 pm
officials would engage intensively translation: hey, european union, get a hold of yourself! on them. further discussions,... look, i'm telling you again. if you describe our operation as an invasion again, we will take the easy road. if you listen to what norman was we'll open the doors and send saying a couple of minutes ago, that was a way more positive outcome of that meeting venue might have you 3.6 million refugees. expected from what people had been saying beforehand. you are not in a country where half the population have already been joking because, hang on, that forced from their homes, sentence there, they agreed they there are fears of a fresh humanitarian crisis. the humanitarian situation could see a pathway to a possible is untended and getting worse. the military situation threatens deal. that was unthinkable 24 hours to be overrun notjust ago! there are only two pathways to with a turkish—kurdish conflict ago! there are only two pathways to a possible deal i can see, one, the but with the threat of isis, and the diplomacy is, frankly, in crisis. irish say we, the irish, are we are seeing in this microcosm prepared to have a withdrawal here a global situation agreement that has a less specific, where the traditional diplomatic less legally operational backstop on it. the one that is in the actors have been horrifically weak. withdrawal agreement is 100% failure means syrians are once again certainty at the moment. does this mean the irish government would be running for their lives. prepared to accept something that martin patience, bbc news, was 90 or 80% certain? how you judge on the turkish—syrian border. the level of certainty, i'm not
2:05 pm
sure. the other pathway to a deal is our international correspondent the uk accepting that either orla guerin sent this update from the turkish side of the border. northern ireland or the whole uk would potentially add some point in the future have to remain in the within the last few minutes here, there have been three very eu's customs territory for a loud blasts close to us. temporary period. those are the only two options, island relaxing what it we could hear them, we could feel wa nts two options, island relaxing what it wants from the deal or borisjohnson them and instantly there were scenes of panic in the streets of people relaxing his position on whether running for their lives. northern ireland could be in the customs union for a period after others rushing towards the scene, trying to find out if brexit. this meeting tomorrow is there were casualties. we know that there was at least one person injured. we saw them being taken away going to be interesting because leo from this building across the road. varadkar rather does going to be interesting because leo va radkar rather does hold going to be interesting because leo varadkar rather does hold the key that is the office here. there is going to be a couple of the local governor. of interactions from that statement, and we could see on the ground it sounds like. leo varadkar will the evidence of an artillery strike. so this was incoming fire from the other side of the border. there was a second strike further down the street. speak to head of the task force we could see the smoke rising. the authorities have pushed us back now. they are afraid of barnier. the more incoming fire. but for the first time, this offensive that turkey is carrying out across the border andy brexit secretary will meet him as well. sounds like they are
2:06 pm
in syria, that has now working on it, engage intensively started to feel very real and there will be some sort of process around trying to get a deal. on the side of the border. the issue could be the irish and by extension the eu have always said they don't want to be the ones responsible for a no—deal brexit. president erdogan has said this they would be prepared to keep on morning that in his words 109 talking with the uk until one terrorists have been eliminated. seconds to midnight on the last day, turkey says that the offensive is going according to plan. that more than 180 targets were hit by last night. evenif seconds to midnight on the last day, even if it was futile so they could and we know turkish forces across the border today are pushing not be playing for a no—deal brexit. deeper into north—eastern syria, taking territory. is this a case of the eu doing what the cost of the offensive is now being felt here it has done over the last few in turkish territory. dr drew mikhael is a research fellow months, keeping the door open to be from queen's university belfast, hejoins me now... polite, diplomatic and the good guys in this process? even though they know the door is being kept open to something they can never actually 24 2a hours on, what is your assessment agree with. lots to think about. of where this is leading?” when they say it concentrates on 2a hours on, what is your assessment of where this is leading? i don't think it is possible to give an accurate assessment about where it customs, that is a huge issue. will ultimately lead. in the short, explain what it meant spike in the sense here. it is worth picking medium and long term we can say this isa apart some of the details, maybe i medium and long term we can say this is a diplomatic, military and most
2:07 pm
should have done it. consent, the importantly humanitarian catastrophe. as we have seen, reports of tens of thousands of idea that one of the big objections people fleeing their homes. for the uk to the backdrop and withdrawal agreement as it stands at certainly from the humanitarian the moment is it not does —— but point, from the diplomatic point the kurdish are being squeezed between doesn't give a strong enough... turkey and incoming syrian national boris said on his first day the military forces. you don't have to look far to see what happens when backstop is anti—democratic and you have refugees of that level wrote to donald tusk saying in within your country. lebanon. -- august the backstop if it came into force would contravene the spirit of matt leaving your country. president the good friday belfast peace erdogan has said he has shown his agreement because unionists in northern ireland would be upset about it. nothing is meant to happen intentions, threatening europe with in northern ireland any more unless flooding them with a 3.7 million it has the consent of both the unionist and nationalist registered refugees inside the country. this shows turkey's communities. that then evolved into the proposal put forward by boris intentions of setting up a safe sun, johnson to the eu after the conservative party conference last most likely going to lead to further week. would have the stormont consent motion which would mean the humanitarian issues regarding refugees. especially if they are northern ireland assembly would have to give its consent in advance to forced to be refiled into syria. you we re the replacement backstop ever coming forced to be refiled into syria. you were careful with your language just
2:08 pm
then, what did you mean to say? the into force. in other words, probably injune or into force. in other words, probably in june orjuly next into force. in other words, probably injune orjuly next summer they would either have to give a thumbs international principle of pushing up would either have to give a thumbs up orthumbs refugees, forcing them to go back to would either have to give a thumbs up or thumbs down to this replacement arrangement ever coming the country they have fled, into fort. then, every four years, a president erdogan has said he is likely going to set up a safe sun vote in the northern ireland inside northern syria in which the assembly about whether to continue this arrangement or to come out of syrian refugees currently housed in turkey can return. looking at the it. the eu was not opposed to the idea of a stronger role for the role of the united states here, it northern irish political is difficult to see this as anything institutions. but they did not like other than the united states this consent mechanism that was proposed by the uk. first of all throwing an ally to one side and not because it could have prevented the caring about the consequences. arrangements coming in, would have absolutely, i think that is more given the stormont assembly and in than fair. last december, 2018, particular the dup, in the eu's view, the power to veto this coming donald trump threatened to remove troops, in which case the kurdish in. you would effectively have no deal happening in northern ireland at the end of the transition period forces on the ground warned that next year effectively and there this was the likely outcome of said would be nothing in its place to removal. moreover, looking to the protect the irish border if that longer and medium term, the us is happen. the other thing they are not setting itself up as a reliable opposed to was the four year rolling
2:09 pm
deadline which they think would ally. this administration has said it wishes to continue employing create massive uncertainty every local proxies to carry out work that four years. just think about it if they require. and whenever those we we re four years. just think about it if we were in that situation were about a year before people would start worrying about, is the replacement local proxies,, the ypg, has backstop going to survive the stormont vote? the eu thought that destroyed the isis caliphate, it was a blatant veto for the dup to sets up them as someone not to be pull... that has been one of the dealt with. in european capitals, most productive areas in the talks some of those being held in syria because the eu is not opposed to it in principle. they think, yes, let's are going to have to go.|j strengthen the role of the northern some of those being held in syria are going to have to go. i would classify that as a medium term ireland institution. ithink strengthen the role of the northern ireland institution. i think there will be something both sides can problem. isis has actually claimed approve but not the mechanism boris several suicide bombing attacks johnson has proposed. he would have inside of syria and iraq at last to step back to that for something that was acceptable to brussels and night. the innocent people within the rest of the eu. that phrase that the north—east parts of syria are they can see a pathway to a possible already suffering the fallout from deal, i mean, they are notjust this decision. —— inside of syria saying that, that suggests reason
2:10 pm
and rakka last night. for optimism. yes, again, though, i borisjohnson is meeting his irish counterpart leo varadkar for brexit think those two options as i laid talks this lunchtime — just days after european leaders out as the potential paths to a expressed pessimism about reaching a deal by the end of the month. brexit deal to me seem so massive, the two leaders are having what's and if you go back again to what been described as a private meeting norman was saying before i came on, to "allow detailed discussions". the labour leaderjeremy corbyn said the idea in the current political this morning that labour was ready climate that borisjohnson is now for a general election once going to sign up to northern ireland it was clear that a no—deal being in the eu's customs union after everything he has said about brexit was off the table. our political correspondent being a poster that idea seems to be jessica parker reports. quite extraordinary. equally, the can he break out of this deadlock? borisjohnson leaving downing street idea that the irish government would back down from having a backstop earlier to see this man — that gives them 100% certainty and leo varadkar, also on the move. by extension the eu would back down the two leaders arriving from a backstop with 100% protection for their meeting near liverpool. but can an agreement be reached? for the single market, that seems ministers insist they've not run just as extraordinary at the moment, out of road just yet. the reason the prime minister's meeting leo varadkar isn't simply too. fascinating, adam, thanks. just to have a social conversation. let's go back to norman smith. well, they're seriously focused on trying does that change things? i don't to resolve this issue and trying to get a deal. think so, actually. ifeel a bit the issue being this — how to keep the irish border free and flowing,
2:11 pm
and how close trade ties need to be in order to make that happen. like trying to make sense of this. now, in just one week from today, there's that crunch eu summit, where borisjohnson has said he hopes to finalise a deal with brussels. they agreed they could see a pathway three weeks from today, the uk toa they agreed they could see a pathway to a possible deal. wes fiona's, is due to leave the european union. but, as things stand, pathway could be here or way over the two sides still seem far apart, while the deadline is closing in. there. what it is and is a landing strip, which is what borisjohnson said they had to find, this landing this former chancellor the latest to offer up some ideas strip where they could get some of his own about how to get an agreement. broad agreement. there is nothing but is a brexit delay now inevitable, after mps passed specific to suggest they found any a law designed to prevent mechanism to get round these two a no—deal departure? twin hurdles of customs and consent. yes. i think the government will comply with the benn act on the 19th of october, instead, the backstop, to coin a and i think the european union phrase, seems to be to go away and will grant an extension. reflect. i take it now, one week away from the crunch eu summit, the challenge now for us is to demonstrate that the well of ideas has not run dry. u nless away from the crunch eu summit, unless they have something tangible just because the proposal to grasp now, this does not give on the table is not going to fly does not mean that we shouldn't look them sufficient great to get an at other versions of a deal. but he has got different ideas on what to prioritise if an extension is secured — agreement —— grit to get an
2:12 pm
a message to borisjohnson that labour is eager for a snap election. agreement. instead, sketches out a distant footpath. that's fine and take no—deal off the table, and then, let's have the election. dandy but you need something down in we're ready, we're ready. black—and—white when you are days away. however cordial and there is only one reason it constructive the conversation may hasn't happened yet — we can't trust you. be, however much their desire may be to get a deal, it is not here, there is not the nuts and bolts of an but hang on, here is one agreement that i can see in the ofjeremy corbyn's top team statement, which is perhaps no surprise. because the mass of on whether a further referendum should come first. obstacles around customs and my concern might be that we would, if we had a general election, it consent, it is so hard to see how would be a kind of quasi—referendum, that it would be all your bridge that because, basically, about in or out, what kind of deal. we believe that we have to have and, so to a certain extent, customs control because we want our i can see the sense in trying own customs regime. the irish are to have a referendum first. saying no way, we don't want any next saturday's showdown session customs checks. i don't see how you in parliament following the eu bridge that. you could perhaps find summit will be a must—watch, as mps decide what to do next. a way around the issue of consent, a serene atmosphere doesn't always hang over westminster, say the dup can have a vote every but big decisions do. jessica parker, bbc news. six years, rather than four years. also say you have to have the our assistant political editor approval of the nationalist community as well. there are ways
2:13 pm
norman smith is in westminster. you can get around consent. customs i think has become a deal breaker. we are awaiting some sort of news and i don't see anything in this conference, a statement from leo text that suggest they found a way varadkar at the john lennon conference, a statement from leo varadkar at thejohn lennon airport, around it. at the risk of being he is about to fly. boris johnson's start work to your walled off, we plan isn't? downing street are built shielding him from press conference 01’ shielding him from press conference or media statements. i guess that it up —— at the risk of us being will change when leo varadkar has had his say. i think number ten's statler and waldorf, we built it up view was that if the whole meeting and take it away again. could be out with the media spotlight and there was a grated the outgoing chief medical officer chance of the two men —— my greater for england has called for a ban on eating and drinking on public transport, to help tackle the rise chance of the two men —— my greater chance of the two men focusing on the hard yards of trying to get this in childhood obesity. in herfinal report, professor dame sally davies says deal over the line, albeit i think the government needs to take radical action, including tighter rules on eve ryo ne deal over the line, albeit i think everyone accepts the odds of a food advertising and on takeaways. breakthrough are pretty close to here's our health correspondent sophie hutchinson. running a mile every zilch. we have been around this so morning before lessons — just one way this school in south many times, time is now almost up. london is trying to tackle childhood obesity. only days to go until the eu summit. too little exercise and too much fatty food has proved disastrous. now england's former
2:14 pm
there doesn't really seem to be any chief medical officer has said radical action is needed, including banning eating fresh thinking on either side. the on public transport, and tax breaks for healthy food. british proposals as put forward by borisjohnson british proposals as put forward by government needs to be bold boris johnson have and it can make a difference, british proposals as put forward by borisjohnson have been put to one side by the eu and there has not and the public are asking for this. they believe, the public do, been any counteroffer it seems from the eu. it means it is hard to see that government should protect their children. what the basis is for any sort of today's report lays out the challenge posed agreement. i rather suspect by the by childhood obesity. close of play we may reach a on average, in the final year of primary school, situation were either mrjohnson or six out of 30 children will be obese, twice the number compared to 30 years ago. leo varadkar concedes it is game in england alone, 1.2 million children are clinically obese. this is feeding into diseases overfor leo varadkar concedes it is game like type two diabetes, over for negotiation. you are normally upbeat but we are running once very rare in children. out of road, aren't we? we are. we there are now 100 have three or four days now until the eu summit. they have always said they would need probably a week to new cases each year. have a deal signed off in advance so orange, grapes, apples, strawberries... they could put it round the 27 some of three—year—old marisa's favourite foods. her parents made a radical change to her diet recently, different eu countries, all be on the same page when they get to the after being warned that she was summit next week. it is not a case overweight and needed to be slimmer. of borisjohnson summit next week. it is not a case i was feeling so bad of boris johnson lines summit next week. it is not a case of borisjohnson lines next week summit next week. it is not a case of boris johnson lines next week and because i am the mum and i am they all sit down and debate what
2:15 pm
they all sit down and debate what responsible for her health, they are going to do and come to an and i was feeling terrified about herfuture and how to help her. agreement last minute. it does not work like that really. they have the deal worked out in advance. that the result of the healthier diet means today is kind of the last is that marisa has lost two kilos chance to get that agreement which presumably they could still get and the rest of the family are slimmer as well. through the eu. if you look at all and there have been other successes. the language we fat in the last sort the levy on sugary soft drinks has seen a sharp drop in the amount of 2a or 48 hours or so, you get the of sugar being eaten, sense we have moved into the blame but today's report wants a tax game. there has been a souring in on sweet, milky drinks and the phasing out of advertising of all unhealthy food. the atmosphere. mentally, i thought this back at the tory party it says only bold measures will stop children from drowning in a flood conference, mentally in team boris of unhealthy food options. johnson they have already moved on sophie hutchinson, bbc news. to the next phase which in their mind is, i think, i'm joined now by food scientist to the next phase which in their mind is, ithink, a general election. which also coincidentally 110w election. which also coincidentally nowjeremy corbyn's mindset, with and historian dr sue bailey. his announcement today that once a delay has been assured, he will good afternoon to you. this would be a change in modern culture, wouldn't press the triggerfor a delay has been assured, he will press the trigger for a general election having previously rebuffed it? for a lot of people, this is how it. it means the likely course of they eat! it is interesting, in events following saturday sitting of terms of the national food survey,
2:16 pm
parliament is we will pretty quickly we only just started move into a winter general election. terms of the national food survey, we onlyjust started recording snacking and eating outside of the underlining just how important this home around 25 years ago so it is a particular meeting between boris johnson and leo varadkar is. fairly recent change. a lot of particular meeting between boris johnson and leo varadkar ism particular meeting between boris johnson and leo varadkar is. it is, because the view in downing street people are doing it. time is more is that basically dublin is the key pressured. we have more demands. here. if the taoiseach could give people just pressured. we have more demands. peoplejust think pressured. we have more demands. people just think now it is an the thumbs up or even a hence that a cce pta ble people just think now it is an acceptable thing to do. a lot of people say, we remembered decades ago you would sit down every day for he was mildly sympathetic to something the british government was ago you would sit down every day for afamily ago you would sit down every day for proposing, that would provide the a family meal, cooked food, and momentum for brussels to come on that's what's gone wrong. we don't board. but if dublin holds out, then do that any more. again, it is only there is no way, it is argued, that since the sort of light 1970s, early there is no way, it is argued, that the rest of the eu is going to trample all over dublin and say you 19805, since the sort of light 1970s, early 1980s, records of eating outside of just have to sign up. what we have the home, eating separately. all of learned over the past three years is these changes that have taken place that the eu has stuck resolutely by because we are slightly more fractured in the way we have to have dublin, almost as sort of an act of faith in the eu to say, we know you a food consumption patterns now. say their span were brought into action area faith in the eu to say, we know you are a smaller, weaker member of the eu, you risk getting pushed around tomorrow, would we notice any
2:17 pm
by the big, bruising neighbour in significant difference, do you the shape of the uk, we will stand think? people would have to control by you. they have never to be budged themselves. interestingly, in the washington metro system there is a from that. unless the taoiseach is ban on eating and drinking on the going to see some sort of deal that he thinks is acceptable today, i think it will be game over for the metro there. obviously, there is a negotiations. thank you, norman. method of enforcing it. quite how one does it, does labelling on our brussels correspondent adam fleming in is in brussels for us... norman said zilch when he spoke about hope of a breakthrough, i bosses are saying you shouldn't be don't know what the french german eating and drinking. how do people get this in force? by nature, if you is. people just don't know what the french german is. peoplejust say don't know what the french german is. people just say zero here. are grabbing food on the go, you are people have been saying that for a going to grab the wrong sort of couple of days now, the chance of a food. that unfortunately is true. it revised deal to be signed off by is really up to the individual to leaders at the summit is zero. so actually be more controlled. if they much would need to happen that i are going to snack, look at the just can't see it happening. we will healthy types of snacks such as fruits and possibly not which they listen very intently to what leo could be consuming, rather than high varadkar has to say. is there any kind of movement on ireland and by fat, salt, sugar foods could be consuming, rather than high fat, salt, sugarfoods which could be consuming, rather than high fat, salt, sugar foods which tend to be more prevalent. thank you, doctor extension the eu's red lines? could
2:18 pm
sue bailey. they see a scenario whereby maybe they see a scenario whereby maybe they reduce the amount of certainty time for a look at the weather... which would make the sort of here's ben rich. proposals borisjohnson has put forward a little bit more palatable? is there room for manoeuvre on that idea of a consent mechanism with the all ice on tokyo? and that part of political institution set up by the peace process so japan more generally. this is political institution set up by the peace process so the northern ireland executive, assembly at typhoon hagibis, itsjourney over the last four or five days, moving stormont and the ministerial council over the warm waters of the where the british and irish specific, growing, you can see in governments cooperate to do with the centre the eye, that shows it issues for the whole island of means business. a violence iphone. ireland. there was a sticking point it has been downgraded, just if there is to be more negotiations semantics, really. it is now known after this stage, if there is an as very strong. wind speed has extension to the brexit process and dropped by five miles per hour, more talks, that will be the area we still sustained wind in the middle are looking for. the other thing to of 115 mph, gusts of 160 mph. the look for with leo varadkar, what does he say about an extension? here track takes it towards tokyo and the in brussels, the conversations are just beginning. both in terms of the
2:19 pm

2:32 pm
6-9 makes land for, why across the coast 6—9 metres high. that is a huge us do have them. what it means is you can have state health care at concern. you can the same way local scan. if it is 6—9 metres high. that is a huge concern. you can see 6—9 metres high. that is a huge concern. you can see why they have cancelled the match on saturday. on free there, you get it for free, if sunday, moving quickly it is cheaper, you get it cheaper. north—eastwards. the weather itself will improve markedly on sunday. in fa ct, will improve markedly on sunday. in fact, quite a nice but breezy day. of course, the question is, how much if we leave with a deal, there will damage and disruption has a cause? be some kind of transition period that is what they will be watching and that will meet you will still be with regards to that storm. what is able to use your ehic probably till happening over here? some problems the end of next year. if we leave of our own but nothing on that with no deal, it expires, apart from scale. quite a lot of rain in the in three countries which have done some sort of agreement. so spain has forecast, things chording over across western parts of the uk, outbreaks of rain already, you can said, yes, ireland and portugal slightly different arrangements but see on the satellite picture of the area of cloud working its way in. as for uk tour is getting help, it means the same thing, you can get we spend, the stripe of cloud that state—run care. means the same thing, you can get that state-run care. other countries extends across the atlantic, rightly that state-run care. other countries that have not signed a deal, what way back, a long front developing are we talking about in terms of what we will be spending? 20 extra wiggles along it. it will notjust countries, people have a choice, if

2:47 pm
hopeful that a new deal can still be reached. which will wriggle around and feed us pulses of heavy rain over the next couple of days. back to the here and now. the rain starting to the uk economy shrank in august but still looks like it escaped recession — p9p up here and now. the rain starting to pep up this evening across how does that work? north—western part of the uk, some particularly wet weather across high you are looking even more devious ground of western scotland, could than you wear when i discuss the new see 20—30 millimetres, maybe 50 £20 note. our economy, surprise millimetres of rain. in between, surprise, has been rather up and perhaps a zone of clearer skies, thatis down but there has been some perhaps a zone of clearer skies, that is where we will have the concerns that we were going to see lowest of the temperatures. a mild night for many of us and quite a two quarters going into reverse, a blustery one as well. tomorrow, here recession. what we saw over the summer was recession. what we saw over the summer was july was quite recession. what we saw over the summer wasjuly was quite strong and one of the reasons that were strong is one wriggle from the weather was to do with the strength of the front and that will pep up the service sector which is the biggest rainfall for a time. over the high ground of wales, we could see 50—70 pa rt service sector which is the biggest part of our economy, 80%, and in millimetres of rain, that could particular, film and tv production. cause some travel problems, perhaps i don't know if you have a part in the latest series of the crown but flooding. that wet weather will stagger its way slowly south that has been filming... james bond. eastwards a cross stagger its way slowly south eastwards across england and england and wales and saw plenty of those heavy showers pushing in towards the
2:48 pm
your fee keeps that has been filming... james bond. yourfee keeps going up and that has been filming... james bond. north—west. there will be to make your fee keeps going up and that shows up in gdp! single—handedly sounds of strong winds, one across the southern half of england and saving the economy! that has wales in association with that weather front, also very windy compensated for other bits that have across the north coast of northern not been doing so well, for example ireland and western scotland. manufacturing. in march we saw quite temperatures 13—17d. friday night and into saturday, noticed the way a lot of activity there, companies area bit in which that weather front doesn't a lot of activity there, companies are a bit more relaxed at this time around but overall we are looking at play through. it wriggles its way around but overall we are looking at a picture where growth is pretty, backin play through. it wriggles its way back in our direction so we are likely to see another pulse of rain well, it is shuffling ahead. what pushing up from the south—west, some does that mean? we had the governor of that could be on the heavy side. of the bank of england saying that further north some sunny spells for the pace of growth was pretty slow. northern england, northern ireland and northern scotland. hefty showers across the north west of scotland. what does that mean? it means our policymakers when they talk about temperatures of 13—15d. sunday, some interest rates are starting to think uncertainty about the timing but about cutting interest rates rather that lump of wet weather likely to than raising them, regardless of slide away to leave a mix of sunny whether or not we get a brexit deal. spells and showers although some of those showers could turn heavy in the west later on and top number of american issues with what temperatures of 12—16d. is happening in hong kong. some have
2:49 pm
been seen to back the protests and that has gone down very badly. do you remember we were talking about the nba? it had put out this treat which some had said, this is pro— protesters which some had said, this is pro—protesters and it caused tensions. chinese state broadcasters took some of their programmes are airand we had took some of their programmes are air and we had tiffany's pulling an ad which was seen to be pro— protesters ad which was seen to be pro—protesters and seem to be offending some chinese customers. there is one big company, household name that is going the other way and i will tell you more about that now. so mira, tell us about how apple has got involved in all of this. apple hello, you're watching has an app available on its door and afternoon live — i'm simon mccoy. today at a: what is being said is that was being could there be a "pathway" to a possible brexit deal? used by protesters to track where borisjohnson and the irish prime minister say they can see one the police officers are. apple came after meeting today. under some pretty heavy criticism
2:50 pm
from the chinese government and they turkey steps up heavy artillery and air attacks on the kurds in syria, eventually pulled that app. of as the us stands accused of abandoning its allies in the fight against so—called islamic state. course the app developers and others are criticising apple for buying into those chinese demands. the app harry dunn, who died developers say this is not true but in a car crash in august — a us suspect won't return to the uk, apple says this app was actually say briefing notes held by president trump. endangering the lives of some of coming up on afternoon those security officials and police live, all the sport. officials, and it was being used by good afternoon, simon. these protesters to victimise scotland call on world rugby residents. there is a big tussle to have a contingency plan in place there about he said, she said what in case their must win match againstjapan at the rugby world cup is called off on sunday — does that app do but fundamentally like england's has been on saturday. when it comes to a company like it's all down to violent apple, in the last three months it typhoon hagibis. made over $9 billion of sales. that yes, and looking at that will be ben is in china, so it is clearly a who has our weather forecast this afternoon. rain for most of us over very, very much financial decision the next few days and in some for apple. interesting timing as places, quite a lot of rain, which those trade talks resume between the could cause some problems. all the way the details later in the two countries. you have had a busy programme. week because of general motors, ben, thank you. workers have been striking and that
2:51 pm
also coming up — a new rural ramble for mobility scooter users. is having all sorts of we'll find out about a scheme ramifications. absolutely. i was launched in gloucestershire to allow people who use them to explore the cotswolds countryside. just in michigan and i was speaking that's in news nationwide in just over half an hour. toa just in michigan and i was speaking to a lot of these workers who said, we made a lot of sacrifices during the financial crisis when gm had to be bailed out by the us government. now we want our fair share. there is still a big gap between the union and the autoworke rs still a big gap between the union and the autoworkers and gm, so the hello everyone, this is afternoon workers have been on strike now for live. i'm simon mccoy. four weeks, but there in the last hour borisjohnson workers have been on strike now for fourweeks, but there is workers have been on strike now for four weeks, but there is a bigger and his irish counterpart leo varadkar have released a joint issue there, that we see the statement saying they have held manufacturing sector in the united detailed and constructive discussions and that they both see states is already starting to a pathway to a possible deal. their statement said contract. gm is the biggest employer in the state of michigan and that is that they discussed the challenges a big manufacturing state, so what the worry is that if the strike goes of customs and consent. on for much longer, it can really following their discussions the taoiseach will consult pull the us into a more a—door with the taskforce 50 and the brexit secretary stephen barclay will meet michel barnier tomorrow morning. recession. the are some concerns and the prime minister and the irish taoiseach have been meeting just if you look at it from a financial days after european leaders
2:52 pm
expressed pessimism about reaching standpoint for gm, they have lost $1 a deal by the end of the month. billion as a result of the strike. jessica parker reports. great to talk to you. thank you. doing a deal isn't always easy. shall we talk about some markets. these two men know that and it wall street just opening. hasn't been all smiles recently, but shall we talk about some markets. wall streetjust opening. they are concerned about what is going on following today's talks in the north with general motors. also those west of england, the pair agreed that they could see a pathway to a trade talks resuming between america and china over that particular possible deal. the reason the prime dispute. things there, holding minister's meeting leo varadkar is things down. the markets very not simply to have a social worried about those tensions and conversation. they are seriously those gdp numbers not do much to focused on trying to resolve this lift spirits on either side of the issue and getting a deal. the issue atlantic. being this— how to keep the irish let's return to one border free flowing, how close trade of our main stories. boris johnson is meeting his irish counterpart ties need to be in order to make leo varadkar for brexit talks, that happen. in just one week from just days after european leaders expressed pessimism about reaching today, there is that crunch eu a deal by the end of the month. summit where boris johnson the two leaders are having what's today, there is that crunch eu summit where borisjohnson has said he hopes to finalise a deal with been described as a private meeting to "allow detailed discussions". brussels. three weeks from today, the uk is due to leave the european chris shirling—rooke is the chief executive of mersey maritime — union. and as things stand the two an organisation representing the interests of the ports sides seem far apart while the and maritime sector on merseyside. deadline is closing in. this former
2:53 pm
chancellor, the latest to offer up good to talk to you. you will watch some ideas of his own about how to the results of these talks just as getan some ideas of his own about how to get an agreement. but izzard brexit closely as we are. absolutely. our delayed now inevitable, after mps passed a law designed to prevent a members want certainty so just to nodal departure. yes, i think the put the maritime sector in some kind government will comply with the benn of context, in the city region it is act on october 19 that the eu will worth a.2 billion a year and employs grantan act on october 19 that the eu will grant an extension. the challenge some 52,000 people, so it's a big now for us is to demonstrate the industry. when we think about well of ideas has not run dry, just maritime it is notjust about ships because the proposal on the table is and ports but it is the not going to fly doesn't mean we shouldn't look at other versions of universities, engineering companies, a deal. cheering offshore wind, it's the lawyers, so it's a very big industry with a very but he has got different ideas of what to prioritise if an extension is secured, and message to boris big supply chain. what our members are telling us is we want certainty, we wa nt johnson that labour is keen for a are telling us is we want certainty, we want a deal, that is absolutely snap election. take no deal off the what we want. however i think it is table and then let's have the worth remembering that if there isn't a deal and it is also worth election. we are ready, we are ready. there is only one reason it having a bit of faith in the maritime industry because we have hasn't happened yet. we can't trust
2:54 pm
been trading globally for years and you. but hang on, he is one of we have committed right the way jeremy corbyn's top team on whether through this process to keep the lights on, to keep food on the a further referendum should come first. my concern might be that if table, to keep medicine coming through our ports. there does seem we had a general election it would bea we had a general election it would be a kind of acquires a referendum, to be very talk about brexit and that it would be all about in or ports, everybody seems to think out, what kind of deal, and so to a about dover and the facts suggest it is the north of england that is certain extent, i can see the sense in trying to have a referendum really the backbone of when talking about trade by sea. when you say and first. next saturday's showdown session in parliament following the eu summit will be a must watch as it is interesting to hear you mps decide what to do next. a serene suggest that when we are talking atmosphere doesn't always hang over about a new deal, you are saying there is still cause for optimism stop you that i think we have to be westminster, but big decisions do. optimistic. we are talking about an jessica parker, bbc news. damian industry which is literally a millennia old. we have been doing grammaticus is in brussels but this generations. of course it will jonathan blake is in westminster. with all the pessimism around, is that one be bumpy and we absolutely do not sentence, they believe they could see the pathway to a possible deal. wa nt be bumpy and we absolutely do not want a no deal, but should we face the challenges of that, then i have that is optimism, isn't it? that is what everyone is jumping no doubt that our industry will that is optimism, isn't it? that is what everyone isjumping on because the language in this statement, as deliver. it will not be easy but you suggest, vertically that line is
2:55 pm
that both leaders agreed they could evenin see a pathway towards a possible deliver. it will not be easy but even in the last 100 years, i suspect we have had more difficult deal is optimistic, is positive. periods, so perhaps it isjust time to have a little bit of faith in our compared, certainly, to what we have industry and the maritime sector heard in recent days. but what does specifically. i am sure you have it suggest at this point in the looked at this closer than anyone here, but if there is a border in brexit process? i'm not sure it the middle of the sea, how does that suggests anything of a breakthrough. work in practice? it is if an i will what this statement does, which has been put out by both downing street not be drawn on potential scenarios and dublin after some four hours or so or deals or no deal what i can say and dublin after some four hours or so of talks between borisjohnson and leo varadkar this afternoon is keep the process going. because as is we want a deal and i was the statement also points out, there listening earlier that we had are challenges, as they are somehow managed to avoid a described, which is something of an understatement may be, of customs recession. the fact that industry is and consent and that is what the two moving on and doing the best it can leaders were talking about this afternoon. while they may be able to in these very turbulent times, i think there is cause for optimism. see a pathway to a deal there are still those challenges in the way. and a lot ofjobs in the region, namely, the customs arrangements for 52,000 jobs related to your industry the uk after brexit, particularly at specifically. yes. again with the uk after brexit, particularly at the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland, as you
2:56 pm
are hearing in that report a moment liverpool, generally we are very ago, and then the issue of consent. strong transatlantic port, one of they say the people of northern the most advanced ports in the uk, ireland would have for it to closely it is constantly under investment and there is more investment in more aligned to the eu for some regulatory rules. so it is one thing cranes which was announced last being able to see a pathway to a week. we had more people to terminal deal, it's another thing to go hand in hand and walk along that path. so there is optimism because we are jonathan, thank you. damian facing not towards the eu but grammaticus, it is that issue, the towards the rest of the world. very quickly, because i am out of time, challenges of customs and consent. having been built up with a bit of november the 1st, you just want to optimism in the sentence before, know where we are, you don't want to bringing back to earth with a bump? see an extension, you just want to yes, and at the minute i would have know where we go from there. the not to say it is very unclear to be able to say it is very unclear to be able to see what exactly this pathway is knowing is the biggest problem because how can you prepare, how can you invest, how can you prepare your they might have found and if it business when you don't know what amounts to anything more than a you are preparing for? that is the gentlemanly way of saying they had a decent discussion and want to keep big challenge. we just need a deal. the whole thing rolling. they don't wa nt the whole thing rolling. they don't want a big bust up at this stage whether they genuinely have really good to talk to you. thank identified the sad thing. there is you very much forjoining us. let's little sense here they have done
2:57 pm
that yet because, as you are saying, have a look at the weather. rain in those two issues essentially are the forecast over the next couple of daysin these huge, substantive points which the forecast over the next couple of days in fact for some of us, quite a are at the heart of the difficulty lot of rain to come, enough to cause here. to reach an agreement, as we some problems. it has been clouding heard yesterday from michel barnier in his briefing is that he was over from the west, quite a moody giving to the european parliament, shot from one of our weather there are enormous problems to watchers. you can see this big rope overcome. on that customs issue, of cloud extending right back into yes, and also the consent issue, the the atlantic. quite a long weather participation of people in northern front here and instead of moving ireland in any sort of decision through quickly, it will wriggle around, you can see on this front, essentially, that two pathways that have been available have been the eu these bulbs, that will hold it back from time to time across the british saying, northern ireland should stay isles, bringing pulses of heavy under the whole eu customs rules. that would sort the problem is out. rain. one of those pulses already pushing in across the north—west of the uk has been saying no to that. scotland. here is we go through that is one possible route that you tonight into tomorrow, you could see could see through this. the other 20-50 possibility, the uk said except our tonight into tomorrow, you could see 20—50 millimetres of rain. all such deal which we put on the table which outbreaks of rain moving quite erratically across england and removes the need for customs rules. wales. some clear spells in northern the eu says we can't do that because you are asking us to waive the rules ireland, southern and eastern scotland, generally with the cloud without anything definitive or
2:58 pm

fleeing their homes is where are the men who led the fight they going? i think that is the most against the islamic state group are battle hardened. frightening aspect of this crisis, is they are fleeing from one crisis to another crisis affected area. but, without american support, most of the 6a,000 we know are they‘ re completely outgunned displaced in the last couple of days by the turkish military. are going to places like rack. as you know from pictures, it is in civilians are also caught in the crossfire. ruins and there is lack of clean translation: after the turkish water, electricity and the people shelling on the border areas, so far, we have there have already suffered so much. received ten patients. two of them are critical so it is really a crisis on top of and are having surgery. another crisis that we are seeing. the number of injured you are replacing one group of is on the rise every hour, but we, the medical staff, are ready. displaced people with another? that is correct. we are talking about an area that has people that have been america has been accused of stabbing displaced many times and we are the kurds in the back. talking about people then being but donald trump is doubling displaced yet again. and new people down, showing no regret. from other parts of the middle east the kurds are fighting who have been made refugees try to for their land, just so you understand, they are fighting come into that space. so we are for their land. removing one problem and creating and, as somebody wrote in a very, another. and how do you deal with very powerful article today,
3:04 pm
that problem? they didn't help us another. and how do you deal with that problem ? what another. and how do you deal with that problem? what are the problem in the second world war, is that people in that sort of with normandy, as an example. situation face, what do they have, they mentioned names of different battles. if anything? people on the ground but they are there to help us with their land. president erdogan this morning, literally just have the making his first comments if anything? people on the ground literallyjust have the clothes on their back. they don't have a means since the operation began. to support themselves. they have already suffered from so many years of this brutal civil conflict and translation: hey, european union, get a hold of yourself! look, i'm telling you again. now, on top of this, these if you describe our operation operations are going to mean they will have to move yet again. our as an invasion again, concerns are that the most vulnerable, and that as are usually women and girls, will have next to nothing and will be subject to exploitation in these situations, which we have seen so many times we will take the easy road. we'll open the doors and send you 3.6 million refugees. over the years in syria. how easy is in a country where half access to them? it is becoming very the population have already been forced from their homes, there are fears of a fresh humanitarian crisis. the humanitarian situation difficult for us. we have over 2000 is untended and getting worse. the military situation threatens to be overrun notjust staff inside syria, the irc. people with a turkish—kurdish conflict but with the threat of isis, and the diplomacy is, frankly, in crisis. we are seeing in this microcosm here a global situation go away from population centres where the traditional diplomatic where we can reach them when bombing actors have been horrifically weak. failure means syrians are once again sta rts where we can reach them when bombing

running for their lives. starts and they become harder to martin patience, bbc news, find. obviously for their safety but it also means it is harder to get on the turkish—syrian border. humanitarian aid to them. we have real concerns the most vulnerable won't be found in time and that could really compound casualties in this crisis. we are talking about an area of the middle east which through history, and certainly in the last few our international correspondent orla guerin sent this update decades, has seen migration on a from the turkish side of the border. scale none of us can imagine. from within the last few minutes here, various peoples fleeing struggles on there have been three very their part of the world and then loud blasts close to us. we could hear them, we could feel creating issues in other countries. there is no sign of an end to this? them and instantly there were scenes of panic in the streets of people running for their lives. we always have to be hopeful that others rushing towards the scene, trying to find out if there is an end to these things. you there were casualties. are right to flag that a lack of the peace process is the real problem, because this isn't going to go away, evenif because this isn't going to go away, even if this fighting right now we know that there was at least stops. the wider conflict is still one person injured. we saw them being taken away boiling on and without a peace from this building across the road. that is the office of the local governor. process that is internationally and we could see on the ground supported and internationally recognised, we are going to see displacement for many years to come.

the evidence of an artillery strike. humanitarians will always be on the ground. irc will always be there to so this was incoming fire deliver as long as we are allowed to from the other side of the border. but the bigger issue is that there was a second strike humanitarian agencies are not being further down the street. the access they should. we call on we could see the smoke rising. the authorities have pushed us back now. all sides to respect international they are afraid of more incoming fire. but for the first time, humanitarian law and give this offensive that turkey humanitarians the access, even if the fighting cannot be stopped. is carrying out across the border in syria, that has now really good of you to join us, thank started to feel very real you for your time this afternoon. on the side of the border. president erdogan has said this morning that in his words 109 you're watching afternoon live. terrorists have been eliminated. turkey says that the offensive these are our headlines: is going according to plan. that more than 180 targets were hit by last night. and we know turkish forces across the border today are pushing deeper into north—eastern could there be a "pathway" to a possible brexit deal? syria, taking territory. borisjohnson and the irish prime minister say they can see the cost of the offensive is now being felt here after meeting today. in turkish territory. turkey steps up heavy artillery and air attacks on the kurds in syria — as the us stands accused of abandoning its allies in the fight against so—called so—called islamic state. briefing notes given borisjohnson is meeting his irish to president trump reveal that a woman with diplomatic immunity, who's a suspect in the fatal crash counterpart leo varadkar for brexit of teenager harry dunn, will not return to the uk. talks today — just days scotla nd

3:10 pm
the outgoing chief medical officer for england has called for a ban on eating and drinking on public transport, to help tackle the rise in childhood obesity. in herfinal report, professor dame sally davies says the government needs to take radical action, including tighter rules on food advertising and on takeaways. here's our health correspondent, sophie hutchinson. running a mile every morning before lessons — just one way this school in south london is trying to tackle childhood obesity. too little exercise and too much fatty food has proved disastrous. now, england's former chief medical officer has said radical action is needed, including banning eating on public transport, and tax breaks for healthy food. government needs to be bold and it can make a difference, and the public are asking for this. they believe, the public do, that government should protect their children. today's report lays out the challenge posed by childhood obesity.
3:11 pm
on average, in the final year of primary school, six out of 30 children will be obese, twice the number compared to 30 years ago. in england alone, 1.2 million children are clinically obese. this is feeding into diseases like type two diabetes, once very rare in children. there are now 100 new cases each year. orange, grapes, apples, strawberries... some of three—year—old marisa's favourite foods. her parents made a radical change to her diet recently, after being warned that she was overweight and needed to be slimmer. i was feeling so bad because i am the mum and i am responsible for her health, and i was feeling terrified about her future and want to help her. the result of the healthier diet is that marisa has lost two kilos and the rest of the family are slimmer as well. and there have been other successes. the levy on sugary soft drinks has seen a sharp drop in the amount
3:12 pm
of sugar being eaten, but today's report wants a tax on sweet, milky drinks and the phasing out of advertising of all unhealthy food. it says only bold measures will stop children from drowning in a flood of unhealthy food options. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. a climate change activist has been arrested on board a flight which was about to take off from london city airport. several other campaigners have been arrested during protests by extinction rebellion at the airport. our correspondent, richard galpin, is at the airport. it has been a whole series of protests throughout the day, including people gluing themselves to the pavement, people climbing up onto the roof of the terminal building. buti onto the roof of the terminal building. but i think probably the most significant protest we have seen most significant protest we have seen have been one person boarding a flight, seen have been one person boarding a flight, a climate change activist, and then essentially talking to
3:13 pm
passengers on board about climate change and eventually being taken away by the police. but of course, that delayed that flight to dublin significantly. perhaps more extraordinarily, we have had a former paralympian extraordinarily, we have had a former pa ralympian cyclist, extraordinarily, we have had a former paralympian cyclist, a man called james brown, who as far as i understand it is partially sighted, climbing onto the top of the fuselage of a ba plane which was bound for amsterdam. he was eventually brought down by the police. but certainly, overall, in terms of the level of disruption, it's not been great at all. the vast majority of flights have managed to 90, majority of flights have managed to go, it is only a couple of flights, as far as we know so far, that have been delayed. so from that point of view, it's not been a huge success for extinction rebellion, but they are trying to highlight the issue, because here in particular, london city airport, because there is a
3:14 pm
major expansion programme under way and they say that is wrong because it will lead to yet more carbon emissions from aviation fuel and they are saying that is exactly the opposite from what they say you should actually happen, which is to be cutting emissions as quickly as possible. richard galpin reporting. now, when you're abroad, the european health insurance card, known as ehic, allows you to get medical care forfree, or at reduced cost, in 31 countries. but if the uk leaves the european union without a deal, only three countries say they will offer anything similar. the government advice is to take out travel insurance. but the insurance industry is warning about price rises, especially for people with medical problems. catherine burns reports. michaela sheehan loves yoga, as a way to look after her mind and body. it tends to relax my muscles if i've had a seizure. it's not always easy, though. she has epilepsy and is struggling to get it under control. her first seizure happened when she was a teenager in paris. i was in disneyland
3:15 pm
on a school trip. i was queueing for a ride and i had a seizure. i was taken to hospital by ambulance and they did blood tests and observations every 15 minutes, and i was in hospital the rest of the day, and it was all completely free because of my ehic card. michaela always takes her ehic card on holiday, if she can. it means she can get medical care for free or at the same reduced cost locals would pay. even with the card, though, she has more expensive travel insurance because of her health. this is me and my boyfriend. so, for this holiday, i paid £60 for the week for travel insurance, whereas he paid £23 for the year. british people travelling abroad get about £150 million worth of treatment a year using the ehic scheme. if we leave the eu with a deal, that would continue, at least temporarily. these 31 countries all accept ehic cards. essentially, it's the eu, plus switzerland, norway, iceland and liechtenstein.
3:16 pm
the government has asked them to continue taking ehic until the end of next year, no matter what happens with brexit. so far, only one, spain, has agreed to do so. ireland and portugal have different plans but, essentially, they will continue to treat british tourists, even if there is no deal. there's nothing in place yet for people travelling to the other 28. the government says it's still trying to sort more health care deals though. it adds that it always tells people to make sure they have travel insurance when they go on holiday, and that is still the official advice, but there is a warning from the uk's largest travel insurance provider. if nothing changed between now and the 31st of october and there was no deal, then i am expecting prices to go up, but we don't know by how much. she accepts that for people like michaela who have long—term health problems, any price rises would be higher.
3:17 pm
i feel like it's definitely putting a label on us now saying, you have to pay more for this because of your epilepsy. michaela says, when she's booking her next holiday, her only real choice will be those countries who have agreed to carry on treating british tourists as they do now with ehic. just to bring you some breaking news. the derby north mp, labour mp chris williamson, has lost his high court bid to be reinstated to the labour party after he was suspended in february over allegations of anti—semitism. he was filmed saying labour had given too much ground and was being deem it —— demonised. he said these complaints he deeply regretted. the initial suspension was lifted injune but was reimposed two days later after backlash from jewish groups. mr williamson said he
3:18 pm
hoped to overturn what he called an unconstitutional decision to suspend him from the party loves. the decision of the high court means he is still out of the labour party after that bid to be reinstated failed. that is the derby north mp chris williamson losing that high court bid. we will more from our correspondence a little later on. you're watching afternoon live. let's catch up with ben rich and the weather. good afternoon, a lot of rain in the forecast for some of us over the next couple of days. the radar picture from earlier on shows these outbreaks of rain starting to develop across the north—west of the uk and that rain is going to pep up as we head through the rest of the afternoon and into the evening. some particular heavy bursts of rain in the western side of scotland, could see 20—50 millimetres in places and some outbreaks of rain pushing across parts of england and wales as well. there will be some slots, perhaps northern ireland, southern and eastern scotland, some clear spells here. that is where we will
3:19 pm
have the lowest of the temperatures but elsewhere are mild and blustery night. we keep the blustery winds tomorrow. outbreaks of rain and gusty winds pushing south—eastwards across england and wales. plenty more showers into the western side of scotland, some into northern ireland. it will be windy here as well stop there will be some sunny spells to be had in between those various rain bands and top temperatures of 1a—17 degrees. this is bbc news.
3:20 pm
our latest headlines: could there be a "pathway" to a possible brexit deal? borisjohnson and the irish prime minister say they can see one after meeting today. turkey continues a military offensive against kurdish forces in northern syria — there's widespread international concern the attacks could lead to a resurgence of the islamic state group. briefing notes given to president trump reveal that a woman with diplomatic immunity, who's a suspect in the fatal crash of teenager harry dunn, will not return to the uk. england's outgoing chief medical officer says eating and drinking on local public transport should be banned to help tackle childhood obesity. also coming up — we'll find out about a scheme launched for mobility scooter users in gloucestershire to allow them to explore the cotswolds, that's in news nationwide shortly. sport now on afternoon live.
3:21 pm
we are more interested in the weather than in the rugby. we knew before the tournament started that typhoons could be a problem at the rugby world cup. as such, world rugby put reserve days in place for the knockout matches. they didn't do so for the group games though and that decision could be scotland's undoing. they need to beat japan on sunday by eight points, assuming ireland beat samoa anyway, in order to qualify for the quarterfinals. that typhoon could scupper those plans. the decision will be made

he's been talking up the quality of his side and why not really when they're the world champions and arguably the most formidible side in the white ball shorter formats. as for test matches — well, it's been a while since england were a realforce, exemplified by australia retaining the ashes this summer, even if the series was drawn. silverwood replaces trevor bayliss as head coach and he and joe root will be wanting to get england back to the top of the world rankings and he's been speaking to jonathan agnew about what he's focusing on. i think it isjust i think it is just giving cricket the emphasis it deserves. you're talking about putting more structure around the test team and helping with that as well. we are making sure that the batting line—up is exactly how we want it, moving forward. and everything we do now puts the process in place so we can
3:23 pm
make a huge impact.” puts the process in place so we can make a huge impact. i thing it is truly important we find a method of play in test cricket, a dna, if you like, we have heard that term. what does that make up look like and we have obviously tried different things this summer. not all of them would have had success but along that path, we have found a couple of guys we know can stand the test and the pressures of test cricket. simone biles is on course to win her 22nd medal at the world gymnastics. the most successful ever female in the championships is on course for gold in the all—around final. biles is on course to become the world's most decorated gymnast by the end of the competitive action in germany this week. coverage continues right now over on bbc two. james maddison has withdrawn from the england squad for the euro 2020 qualifiers against czech republic and bulgaria because of illness. gareth southgate has chosen not to replace him so england will have a 23—man squad instead. they play the czechs in prague tomorrow and will qualify

3:26 pm
judge said the decision to suspend him a second time after that disciplinary hearing should not have happened, it was unlawful. there has been a second separate disciplinary proceedings started against him at the beginning of september, in which he is alleged to have sent a e—mail toa he is alleged to have sent a e—mail to a member of the public who complained about his criticisms of margaret hodge mp, that referred her toa margaret hodge mp, that referred her to a video on youtube, the video said she trivialised the memory of the holocaust and requested she get the holocaust and requested she get the hell out of the labour party. there are other allegations as well as part of those disciplinary proceedings which began in september and are continuing. chris williamson had tried to get those thrown out and declared unlawful. he failed in that and remains suspended from the labour party and the judge decided that the proceeding should continue. the disciplinary proceedings from labour would continue until they reach a conclusion based on those
3:27 pm
fresh allegations made against him. now on afternoon live, let's go nationwide, and see what's happening around the country, in our daily visit to the bbc newsrooms around the uk. let's go to amanda parr in bristol for us this afternoon and can tell us more about a new initiative to help people with mobility issues enjoy the beautiful cotswolds. yes, that is right. we sent our director, jonathan, out to test a brand—new eight mile accessible route in an all—terrain mobility scooter. we got him to make a film forest. his talents reach further than even we, his colleagues, realised. he is laughing in my earpiece as we speak now. i think he feels rather more at home sitting at

the controls in the gallery. it is up the controls in the gallery. it is up to me, i think, to embarrass him with some pictures of him in action and tell you what he has been up to. he has been exploring the area around sudeley castle. very beautiful terrain and he has been trying out the new eight mile disabled access route which has been developed and constructed by the cotswold volunteer wardens. they have been working with the disabled ramblers group. it is suitable for all—terrain mobility scooters. the wardens have been working on accessible pass alongside —— along the cotswolds for many years now. this is a little different. it marks the introduction of more challenging routes. it has taken the volunteers hundreds of hours to install some gates, improve services and liaise with the landowners and the council
3:29 pm
about rights—of—way issues. the whole idea has been a massive hit. did he enjoy it? in fact in his film, he said something really lovely, he said it was as if the countryside had been unlocked for him. they had been really careful so as not to sanitise the experience for people. the landscape is natural, uneven and can get muddy. he speaks to lots of other people who have some lovely things to say about the experience they had. one man was overjoyed and said it meant he could nowjoin his wife on walks which they had always liked doing the past and they couldn't do now and another woman said it brought back countryside experiences that she thought were in her past and having them with her grandchildren now was unexpected and really rather special. the only issue is the sort of vehicle you have to use. these abilities cuddles are not cheap. ——
3:30 pm
mobility scooters. the wardens say now they have opened up the road, they will focus efforts on finding a vehicle they can offer out to hire. they very much see this and sipping to build on. if you build it, they will come, and as the popularity grows, they hope the growing interest will bring more opportunities to fundraising so that multiple can try the for themselves. i know your colleague alex lovell is watching, she has been tweeting, and we are wondering whatjonathan is saying in your ear right now. he says i have done very well! that was going to happen one day! it is good to talk to you. lovely to see you. if you would like to see more on any of those stories, you can access
3:31 pm
them via the bbc iplayer. a reminder that we go nationwide every weekday afternoon at a:30pm on afternoon live. she is really not happy! the new 20 pound note featuring one of britain's most famous artists, jmw turner, has been unveiled. the bank of england governor mark carney travelled to margate in kent this morning, the town where turner spent much of his time. the polymer note will be in circulation from the beginning of next year. our personal finance correspondent, simon gompertz, reports. in the clear light and under the big skies of margate which the painter turner loved so much, and in the gallery which bears his name, the new turner 20 on show, ready for its launch in february. the 20 is our most used and most forged banknote, so getting it right is important. we have to get this note right. it is the most secure note we've ever produced. by using polymer, we've been able to add additional security features. there's multiple foils, there's multiple windows. there's lots of ways that you can
3:32 pm
determine that this is a real 20. the new £20 note. what jumps out immediately, looking at the big one, is turner himself, his self—portrait. and behind, the fighting temeraire — the navy vessel which stood behind hms victory at the battle of trafalgar. and importantly, these security features. two clear, see—through windows. that's new and hard to forge. and where there's foil, it's now in two colours, gold and blue. so, what do the people of margate think of the new 20? do you recognise this guy? er, yep, turner. yep, obviously, and the margate lighthouse. and the turner centre in the background. you like it? yeah, ido. plastic. yeah, plastic. that's ok, is it? well, they sometimes can flick out of your pocket a little bit easy. the only thing i find with these, in our till, they roll. they roll up and they stick together. the turner 20 replaces the adam smith version we have now. will it be as popular? that depends how much we pay
3:33 pm
by cards or mobile phone instead. simon gompertz, bbc news, margate. in a moment, we'll have the latest business news. first a look at the headlines on afternoon live: she discovered someone using that accounted leaked stories about her to the sun newspaper. she revealed her detective work in an explosive tweet that went viral yesterday. rebecca vardy denies the allegation. anita mcveigh spoke to caroline frost about this. it has caught the imagination. i think the nation at the moment is desperate for any story other than political chaos and the more serious things we are
3:34 pm
seeing happening. on the surface this looks like a glorious mud fight between two alpha females, the likes we have not seen for decades. there are more serious underlying themes we could talk about and one is that clearly the advent of the wag is unprecedented, they have taken centre stage in a way that i guess this story has really shown for us for the first time. they are just wives and girlfriends of sports stars, football players, but they do have a currency, they have huge followings on social media, they matter to an enormous number of people and already we are seeing people and already we are seeing people divided into teams. underneath, you have the questions of if she has been hacked, then what does that mean? we are going down that road of how do you hack into a social media account and at what point can you say your social media accou nts point can you say your social media accounts are your own? i do not know who she has had on her team using her social media for her. at what point do you claim responsibility for that. i also it lifts a veil
3:35 pm
into a world where we normally see glamour and friendship eventually thatis glamour and friendship eventually that is not always the case. people like coleen rooney, you alluded to it, they will have people who help them manage their social media presence. i them manage their social media presence. i guess them manage their social media presence. i guess the next logical step is as we mentioned in the introduction, is to call in these forensic it experts to see who else could have been using her account or gaining access to her account? yes, and it must be a mortifying week for rebecca vardy either way because we know she is a sort of new kid on the block. coleen rooney is almost the queen of the wags because of her longevity and that status and also because of her connection with wayne rooney, one of the leading lights of the england football team also many years. but rebecca vardy is always in the papers and people say she is not afraid of publicity. however this is not the kind of publicity she would want. there is that old adage of no publicity is bad there is city, but you would not argue that in this case? no, as she
3:36 pm
said in her reply, they are really putting their washing on the line for everyone to inspect, she is saying, not being funny, i don't need the money, but i don't need the money. this is about if someone was to sell stories, this apparently happened simply to go circle as well, which were macro where stories are leaked to newspapers, shock, horror. but it is about developing relationships with the press and getting the magazines on side and one side to —— one way to do that is to share, but it is a bad look being caught out. she will be mortified if she has been doing it and if it is someone she has been doing it and if it is someone else doing it in her name. she blocked out the account and then worked out it was not anybody else. and she is saying, is uac, you think it is me?
3:37 pm
in a moment, we'll have the latest business news. first a look at the headlines on afternoon live: could there be a "pathway" to a possible brexit deal? borisjohnson and the irish prime minister say they can see one after meeting today turkey continues a military offensive against kurdish forces in northern syria — there's widespread international concern the attacks could lead to a resurgence of the islamic state group. briefing notes given to president trump reveal that a woman with diplomatic immunity, who's a suspect in the fatal crash of teenager harry dunn, will not return to the uk. here's your business headlines on afternoon live. nissan's european operations, which include plants in britain and spain, will not be sustainable if britain's departure from the eu leads to 10% tariffs on vehicles. that's according to the carmaker‘s european chairman. dyson, best known for its vacuum cleaners, has cancelled its programme to make electric cars. founderjames dyson told staff that the automotive team has developed a fantastic electric car, but that, unfortunately,
3:38 pm
it is not commercially viable. the economy appears to have avoided recession, with output growing by 0.3% in the three months to august. according to the ons, who produced these figures, a rise in film and tv production helped boost activity in the services sector, offsetting a disappointing performance form manufacturing. nissan's future in sunderland is in doubt? we have heard this before. yes, you will recall that nissan has this plant in sunderland, employing 600 people directly, on top of that, over 20,000 people relying on the operation in the supply chain because as we all know, from the conversations we have been having, there is a very long and complex supply chain. and now the chairman has been admitting that if under
3:39 pm
what is called wales —— world trade organisation rules, what we might have to face if we leave it out a deal, we could see tariffs on vehicles of 10%, which of course causes all sorts of concerns for car—makers and indeed for consumers as well. but what does that mean to the future of that particular industry in an area that relies on it for skilled jobs? the firm chairman made these comments when he was visiting the plant in sunderland. this is what he had to say. you will have to sustain 10% export duties on the vehicles we will be exporting to the eu, knowing those vehicles represent saudi percent of total production, the overall business model will not be sustainable —— 70%. richard dunbar, senior investment strategist, aberdeen standard investments joins us now from edinburgh. strong words from the european chair of nissan. the clock is ticking, as
3:40 pm
we all know, under the 31st of october deadline. do you think this isa october deadline. do you think this is a common thought that is occurring to those international businesses which have a uk arm? occurring to those international businesses which have a uk arm7m should not be a big surprise what the chairman of nissan is saying, making cars in the uk for sailing to europe is a pretty low margin business. they do not make a lot of money on that, if you put a 10% tariff, it makes that price uncompetitive all the europeans will have to pay more for it. his comments are obvious, that 10% tariff or make an awful lot of bit —— difference. it could be mitigated. we could see a weakness in sterling which could make the ca rs in sterling which could make the cars cheaper in that perspective. but it shows you the complexity of the problem that is facing him and nothing he said today should be a surprise. we are also seeing some impacts of the uncertainty surrounding brexit in other figures we have had today, the gdp ones. they have been slightly complex. august was pretty weak but the rest
3:41 pm
of the summer was not too bad. the figures were a little better than had been expected. not .3% growth, and the mix was interesting as well as usual, led by services rather than manufacturing but within manufacturing and construction in particular, they were bright spots, a lot more houses built. and some social housing built. that was a bright spot. the backdrop generally is not good. we are seeing a similar downturn in europe and a similar impact in trade talks, impacting manufacturing across the globe. a dell backdrop at a little better than had been expected. how do your clients feel about this? do they feel the uk is a risk or opportunity? i think a bit of both. sterling is the best barometer for investors, in terms of risks and rewards. despite the gyrations of
3:42 pm
the past few weeks, in terms of the brexit debate, you... we are seeing interest from investors in the stock market in the uk and even with the hong kong bid for lse falling away, there is demand for uk assets and uk interests. it is a bit of a mix and sterling as the barometer in between the two arguments at the moment. i know the markets are not quite as exciting as coleen rooney and rebecca vardy. full but you can see they are in positive territory and you might think, we are looking at these numbers and what has been going on in the uk, all eyes are looking at what is going on between the us and china. they have another round of trade talks, trying to avoid that
3:43 pm
all—out trade war with tariffs being imposed on everything in time for christmas. that's all the business news. as we heard earlier in the programme, borisjohnson is meeting his irish couterpart leo varadkar this afternoon, to try to revive the stalled brexit negotiations. as things stand, the chances of a deal look bleak. so what would a no deal brexit mean for everyday products that the uk imports, like fresh flowers? our correspondent, jim connolly ,has been to europe's largest flower auction in the netherlands to follow a shipment on its journey to the uk. if there's a no—deal, we've got to work in a different way. chris is a flower importer. she supplies florists across kent, for weddings and other special occasions. she's worried that a no—deal brexit could mean more paperwork and delays in the main port of dover. do we know a week before the 1st of november that, actually, it's a no—deal? and that information's key for you? it is, because then you've got a week to sort yourself out. like most wholesalers in the uk,
3:44 pm
she buys them from the netherlands. just look how busy this place is. it is absolutely unbelievable. it's been described to me as being a bit like an ant city, and you can see why. the uk buys around £700 million worth of flowers from here every year, so the chances are if you've brought some back home recently, they came through here. this is europe's biggest flower auction. from the auction, the flowers travel on conveyor belts to chris's supplier. he, too, has concerns. we're worried, er, about delays at border control. extra paperwork we have to do, er, which will, in effect, affect the transport time. some of these on order... back in the uk, and newsbeat‘s been speaking to traders at the uk's largest wholesale flower market, and this is a common message. so, everyone's still in the dark. we don't know what's happening three weeks away from the dates. we still don't know if we're leaving then or not, which is a bit stupid really.
3:45 pm
however, some people we've spoken to see brexit as an opportunity for british flower growers to pick up some of the slack. in exeter, we've met one small business arranging flowers for wedding and corporate events. i think we need to open our eyes a little bit in britain and just see what is being produced locally, you know, around britain. the flowers that i've got in today, they're all grown in cornwall. and these ones, actually, are grown in the scilly isles. some veterans of the industry say that may be so, but it could take years to establish. the british government says it's committed to getting a deal with the european union and the eu now needs to engage at pace with the uk's proposals. however, many in the industry say a lack of clarity around brexit makes their future uncertain. jim connolly, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich.
3:46 pm
as we heard earlier, chris williams has lost his high court bid to be reinstated to the party. a judge ruled that the labour party acted unlawfully and speaking outside the court, he criticised the campaign against him. every step of the way, the party bureaucracy has briefed against me in the media and did not honour their own requirement of confidentiality. resulting in me being viciously smeared and abused. with increasingly wild accusations, all the while i was prevented from defending myself. the labour party hasissued defending myself. the labour party has issued a brief statement and says the court has upheld chris williamson's suspension from the party and his disciplinary case must run its course. plenty more with all those stories at five o'clock but now we go to the weather. good afternoon. some parts of the uk can
3:47 pm
expect yet more very wet weather over the next couple of days. we have certainly seen things clouding over without breaks of raining northern and western areas today. this approaching area of cloud sliding its way in and we can follow this cloud right the way out into the atlantic. we have quite a long weather front which is just going to wriggle around and feed as pulses of heavy rain over the next couple of days but back to the year and now, what is left of this afternoon and into this evening, the rain starting to pack up, i think, across north—western parts of the uk. wet weather across high ground in scotland. may be up to 50 millimetres of rain in places. in some outbreaks of rain further south you will notice pushing on across england and wales. it is a mild mitral many of us. quite a blustery one as well. into tomorrow, i mentioned the wriggle is on that weather front and this is one and
3:48 pm
that will at the rainfall across parts of wales and northern england. we could see 50 to 70 millimetres of rain. that could cause travel problems, perhaps localised flooding. that wet weather will stagger its way south—eastward is across england and where and plenty of heavy showers pushing on towards the north—west. there will be two different —— zones of strong winds, one across the southern half of england and wales. also very windy across the northern coast of northern ireland and scotland. there will be some sunshine for some of us. if we had through friday night and into saturday, the weather front does not clear through and we are likely to see another pulse of rain pushing up from the south—west. some of that could be on the heavy side. further north, sunny spells were northern england, northern ireland and scotland. ft showers across the north—west of scotland. temperatures
3:49 pm
not quite as windy. the wet weather likely to slide away. sunny spells and showers. some of those showers could turn really heavy in the west later on. top temperatures of 12 to 16 degrees. today at 5. borisjohnson, and the irish prime minister, leo varadkar, say they can "see a pathway", to a possible brexit deal. following more than two hours of talks, the leaders said they believed a deal was "in everybody‘s interests". we'll have the latest
3:50 pm
on the brexit negotiations. the other main stories, on bbc news at 5. turkey steps up heavy artillery and air attacks on the kurds, in syria. thousands of civilians are reported to have fled. we have seen turkish shelling throughout the morning on the syrian town and village, behind me. you can probably see the columns of smoke, rising on the horizon. after the crash which killed teenager harry dunn, the suspect — claiming diplomatic immunity — will not return to the uk, say
