and they confirmed it was a real knife, that she obviously flooded with tears. five people were injured by the attacker, as the shopping centre went into lockdown. people started shutting, like, the shutters in the shops, and folk were, like, diving into the shops. it was scary. announcement: please leave the area immediately. i mean, this fella just comes towards you, it is quite, you know, frightening. tonight, part of the shopping centre is still closed as the scene is examined in detail. police say the man they arrested has now been assessed by specialist doctors and being detained under the mental health act. this is a truly shocking incident, entering a number of people and deeply frightening more. he also said the incident is bound to bring back memories of the awful events at the manchester arena. the un says 100,000 people have fled

their homes as turkey presses on with its offensive against kurdish forces. there has been heavy fighting and both civilians and dozens fighting and both civilians and d oze ns of fighting and both civilians and dozens of kurdish fighters have lost their lives. turkey wants to create a20 their lives. turkey wants to create a 20 mile deep buffer zone running 300 miles across the syrian border. tu rkey‘s 300 miles across the syrian border. turkey's president, erdogan, vowed to continue the assault against fighters he regards as terrorists, and to settle millions of syrian refugees there. three people were killed yesterday in a turkish town and have been buried. our international correspondent is there and has been watching the military activity. through much of the day we have been hearing heavy outgoing artillery and mortar fire. hearing heavy outgoing artillery and mortarfire. the turkish hearing heavy outgoing artillery and mortar fire. the turkish authorities say they have advanced into northern syria to about five miles. president erdogan says he is unconcerned about the international condemnation, but it is growing. turkey is already accused of killing innocent civilians, damaging civilian infrastructure, and causing huge numbers to flee, and all of this while it is supposed to be creating

a safe zone for more than 4 million syrians to go home to. here is tu rkey‘s syrians to go home to. here is turkey's response to international calls for an end to its offensive. it's forces continuing to pound north—eastern syria, creating a new landscape of the displaced. 100,000 people and counting, injust landscape of the displaced. 100,000 people and counting, in just three days. but turkey is paying a price. full state honours today for two civilians killed next to the border, seen here as martyrs in operation peace brings. one coffin is child

—sized, for a baby boy named mohammed, just nine months old. a victim of rocket fire by syrian kurdish forces, their first retaliation for turkey's massive assault on them. and here, mohammed's family, joined together in boundless grief. in the of ironies, they syrian refugees themselves. this girl can't hold back her tears. the mufti called on god to give strength to turkey's soldiers and bring a quick victory, with few casualties. then, a final journey to the border town. at the local mosque, friday prayers became a time of morning for mohammed,

whose family fled syria six years ago. his mother, fatima, gave birth to six girls before having a boy. she said she waited i7 to six girls before having a boy. she said she waited 17 years for her only son. now, he is gone and two of her daughters are in intensive care. her husband battling his grief, his anger directed at advanced kurdish separatists in turkey and turkish militia in syria. —— kurdish militia in syria. i call on god to bring them failure, to block their path, and not to forgive them. well, prayers are being said here now for baby mohammed. when his family came to turkey, they were hoping against hope to find safety. instead, they we re hope to find safety. instead, they were caught up in another round of warfare, and mohammed was killed

inside his own home. as he was mourned here, other children were being mourned in syria, including a 12—year—old boy killed by a turkish rocket attack yesterday. mohammed was taken away for burial, a life cut short that leaves a broken family. back across the border, in syria, a car bomb in this city. islamic state said it carried out the attack, which killed at least three civilians. this isjust the attack, which killed at least three civilians. this is just what many have feared, and the kurds have predict that, is taking advantage of the chaos caused by turkey's invasion. and tonight, we found more convoys heading for the border, for

an operation that has been widely condemned abroad, but is strongly supported at home. the us treasury secretary has spoken of drafting powerful trade sanctions against turkey. it is undoubtedly clear that donald trump's phone call with president erdogan last weekend pave the way for the withdrawal of american troops. since then, donald trump has been saying it is time to get american troops out of the middle east, out of these endless wars costing trillions of dollars. what happens today? an announcement that an extra 1800 us servicemen are being sent to saudi arabia. we have had president trump saying that he would like to broker some kind of deal between the kurds in the text. turkish sources in washington saying that's not going to happen. and as you say, we have had the threat of

sanctions from the treasury secretary, that steve mnuchin says will shut down the turkish economy, but what will trigger them, we don't know. you get the slight impression that the white house are calling on the locksmiths to put a couple of extra bolts on the stable door even though the horse has long since disappeared from view. the eu has agreed to intensify brexit talks with the uk over the coming days. the move came after a meeting in brussels described by both sides as constructive. there's been a glimmer of optimism over a possible deal after yesterday's meeting between boris johnson and ireland's prime minister. but mrjohnson said today that reaching an agreement is not a done deal. let's join our deputy political editorjohn pienaar, who's in westminster for us now. fragile hopes of a brexit deal have risen. the value of the pound rose along with them, and so did the planning and skimming along

oppositions and parties and politicians across and on both sides of the house of commons, at the prospect of some sort of progress being made. endless recriminations have been going on between the uk and the eu, each side blaming the other for the brexit deadlock. and the eu, each side blaming the otherfor the brexit deadlock. but tonight, boris johnson and otherfor the brexit deadlock. but tonight, borisjohnson and eu leaders are daring to believe they mightfind leaders are daring to believe they might find their way towards an agreement. the speculation and the lea ks have started agreement. the speculation and the leaks have started again, as well, and they suggest that compromises could soon be on offer. still a work in progress, but he is trying. and now borisjohnson may, just may, be getting somewhere in sketching out a brexit deal. after his show of optimism, alongside ireland's leader yesterday, today on a school visit, it was time to look on the bright side. both of us can see a pathway to a deal, but that doesn't mean it's a done deal. there's a way to go. it's important now that our negotiators,

on both sides, get into proper talks. one—to—one, the two leaders had traded ideas, changed the mood, cleared the way for intensive negotiations on terms to be laid on the table behind closed doors. i think, at this stage, probably the less said the better. focus today very much switches to brussels, where the secretary of state barclay is going to meet with michel barnier, and i'd anticipate that that will lead to some more detailed proposals being laid down. next stop, brussels. brexit secretary stephen barclay met the eu's chief negotiator today. the mood visibly positive. though the path to agreement looks steep. brexit is like climbing a mountain. we need vigilance, determination and patience. are we near the top? but what about the obstacles? he wouldn't say. are you going to negotiate over the weekend? would parties, including boris johnson's dup allies, have a veto over northern ireland's future status?

no answers today. northern ireland will be part of future uk trade deals, but the uk might drop plans for customs checks on the island of ireland when there is an eu border there. these are the details that could make or break a deal in tough negotiations, but in cyprus, the eu council president was clear. giving up is not an option. of course, there's no guarantee of success, and the time is practically up. but even the slightest chance must be used. here at westminster, the diaries and calendars for next week are covered in red ink. there is the big eu leaders' summit, then on saturday, a special session of the house of commons. expect a vote on a deal, if there is one, and a push by mps, who want to see brexit decided by another referendum. meanwhile, if there is no agreement, even if there is a deal, the prime minister may struggle

to avoid another brexit extension. the last thing he wants, a delay, he mayjust have to accept. john pienaar, bbc news, westminster. there is a warning today from industry leaders in five key sectors of the economy. a serious risk to manufacturing competitiveness — not from a no—deal brexit, but in boris johnson's current brexit proposals. they've written to cabinet ministers asking for reassurance that industry needs will still be prioritised. our economics editor faisal islam has this exclusive report. a warning signal from across industry. unprecedented concerns seen by the bbc in a private joint letter from manufacturing sectors employing over a million workers that had broadly backed the original plan negotiated by theresa may. the letter was sentjointly by five manufacturing industry bodies, covering aerospace, car makers, the chemicals industry, food industry and pharmaceuticals.

it said the prime minister's wider new plan for a brexit deal, that moves the uk away from european regulations, created a serious risk to manufacturing competitiveness that will result in huge new costs and disruption to uk firms. it went on: the plan has the potential to risk consumer and food safety and confidence, and access to overseas markets. this is a very, very important moment. you know, we're absolutely clear as industries we want to see a deal. no—deal would be the worst possible outcome for us. but it can't be just any deal. the government's new approach in brussels negotiations seeks to regain full freedoms from eu regulators. in factories up and down the country, high—tech parts like this engine blade are made to european standards, and we've long known manufacturers are no great fans of no—deal brexit. the significance of today's joint intervention is that they're criticising borisjohnson‘s proposed brexit deal.

concerned about what will happen if the uk diverges too much from european regulation — that the trade—off will be in jobs and investment in this sector. this leicestershire manufacturer of aviation parts says his industry is happy to stick to the eu rules. by walking away from from regulatory alignment in aerospace, we are creating one hell of a problem that we don't have today. the industry fears the government is dropping its aim to continue, after brexit, participating in three key eu agencies, including for chemicals. at this plant in west brom, they want to continue this testing of every chemical in order to send the data to the eu safety regulator. this is not what the government went to. this is not what we backed. we backed a deal with mutual recognition. we did not back a deal with divergence. the government said it was seeking a best—in—class free trade agreement with the eu, and was committed to high standards, but those

industries that want to stay integrated with europe have joined together to say that is an experiment that doesn't work for them. faisal islam, bbc news. a reminder of the headlines. police arrested a man in his 40s under the mental health act after five people we re mental health act after five people were injured in a knife attack in manchester city centre. the uk and eu agreed to intensify brexit talks, but both sides say there is still a way to go. the united nations as 100,000 people have now fled their homes in northern syria, following tu rkey‘s homes in northern syria, following turkey's attack on kurdish held areas. again has been found of human trafficking and forcing women to become slaves and prostitutes in glasgow. eight women were lowered from slovakia to flats in the city, some were brought over for sham marriages. the gang boasted of their

earnings on social media, in one case a woman was sold on the street for £10,000. police scotland, who worked with law enforcement agencies across europe say their crimes are despicable. the slums of eastern slovakia, home to the roma community. a space where disease is right, there is no heating or running water, and unemployment is also —— almost 100%. there was a promise of a better life in scotland, something they could only dream of. the reality was very different. lowered to a life of slavery and prostitution. eight innocent women, shipped to the uk, coming trapped in the trafficking trade. these were the masterminds of the scottish operation. one of them seem the scottish operation. one of them seem here on facebook on one of his many journeys into seem here on facebook on one of his manyjourneys into the country. it

was all about the money, showing off for all the world to see live on social media. selling victims to strangers as part of a sham marriage scheme, buyers, mainly pakistani man, desperate to —— for eu citizenship, big and chose their preferred wife. day and night of abuse followed, while they showed themselves in cash. and this will happening in plain sight. the court heard one woman was brought right here to the centre of glasgow and sold for £10,000. she said she was handed over to a man who took her into this door and bought her clothes, before taking her home and locking her inside. —— this store. the painstaking law enforcement operations and the confident confident —— continent after scottish police first became aware of the ring in 2014. teams from younie and slovakia were involved. it isa

younie and slovakia were involved. it is a heinous crime, it is terrific that people think it is a cce pta ble terrific that people think it is acceptable to buy and sell other human beings as a commodity, with no thought for the impact that it will have on them are just for monetary gain. you can only hope that the verdict today provide some closure to them and goes in some way to alert —— allow them to rebuild their lives. many of the victims caught in this nightmare are now back in slovakia, traumatised by the experience at the hands of these traffickers. who made money from misery. an irish man accused of the murder of two reduce soldiers in a bombing in 1972 had been arrested in ireland and extradited to the uk. john downey from county donegal handed himself into irish police earlier today after he lost the challenge against his extradition injuly stop he is expected to face trial in northern ireland.

this year's nobel peace prize has been awarded to the prime minister of ethiopia. for his work in making peace with eritrea. the two nations have been a military stand—off for two decades before abiy ahmed took power last year. he says he is humbled and thrilled with the prize which he hopes will give everyone energy to work towards peace. the norwegian nobel committee believes it is right that abiy ahmed's efforts deserve recognition and encouragement. it is a reward for his efforts to bring about peace between ethiopia and eritrea, neighbouring countries that have been sworn enemies for years. this is the moment that abiy ahmed received the news from the nobel committee. thank you very much, it

is for africa and the idea, and thank you very much, it is important for building the peace process in this confident, thank you very much andi this confident, thank you very much and i am so pleased. abiy ahmed has been recognised for his drive for recognition —— reconciliation and reforms including mediating a peace deal in sudan. here in addis ababa prominent figures and ordinary figures are like have been sharing their views since that announcement was made. many people including some of his opponents seem to be united in congratulating him for being the first ethiopian to win the nobel peace prize. this provides ethiopia with a significant muscle in terms of international diplomacy, and a significant responsibility to pursue peace, because it is now in the eyes of the international community. the

award is for river decking —— recognition of his contribution to restore peace between ethiopia and eritrea, in that respect i think he deserves the reward and i would like to congratulate him, but when it comes to domestic politics i think abiy ahmed has a lot to do. abiy ahmed has described this as a prize for all of africa and the hopes for peace building on the confident —— continent. but the first test will see if the prize changes lives in ethiopian. in one week where we have been looking at the causes and consequences of knife crime, there is more sobering news site after two teenagers were fatally stabbed within hours of each other in london. a 15—year—old was stabbed in the afternoon and hours later another was stabbed in south london.

15—year—old baptista adjei went to school yesterday, but he never came home. his family, today, grieved by the spot where he died, on the pavement, outside a shopping centre, in east london. stabbed in his school uniform, he only made it this far, before his young life gave out. the most shocking aspect of this scene is its familiarity. around 70 people have been stabbed to death in london already, this year. disproportionately, teenagers. school boys. less than four hours after ba ptista died, police were scrambled to another stabbing, in camberwell, in south london. they found an 18—year—old man with knife wounds, pronounced dead at the scene and hour later. a lot of young people keep their emotions inside... just around the corner is a project trying to steer people away from knife crime.

this man spent 12 years in prison, for a stabbing. taylor who is 19, also convicted of a knife offence, now volunteers to mentor others. as a single child of a single mum, taylor told me how, from the age of 12, he saw himself as the family defender, until the day he ran from his house, looking to attack someone with a blade. i was the breadwinner, i was a man, i was the top dog. ifelt like i was big and strong when in reality i was nowhere near that. i wasjust a young man, throwing all his insecurities out, by being aggressive and loud and hiding everything, really. what would have helped? to have a role model in my local area, in my community. by one measure, the story of youth crime in the last ten years is one of success. the number of children cautioned or sentenced in england and wales down 82%. but within that, knife crime is a different story. a fall after the last crisis, a decade ago, but then a few years later, it rises again.

youthjustice board budgets for preventative work have more than halved since 2010, services having cut, meanwhile on the streets, the police tape is rolled out once again. the five—year—old daughter of a british iranian woman jailed the five—year—old daughter of a british iranian womanjailed in iran on spainjudge has returned to the uk. gabriella who had been living with her parents has returned to be in school. her mother has been detained for more than three years over allegations she denies. gabriella was reunited with her father richard ratcliffe, last night after three years apart. suddenly when they were on the planet was a mad scramble of cleaning and of course she is really upset, really upset. one of the things she did not wa nt to upset. one of the things she did not want to happen was for her daughter

to leave and rehearsal to be stuck in prison. so that kind of turmoil and feelings and speaking to the family gabriella caught the plane, and her grandparents are looked after herfor 3.5 years, and and her grandparents are looked after her for 3.5 years, and then seeing her late last night was lovely. and she is a bit shy and a bit traumatised, and has not seen daddy for a long time. the russian cosmonaut who became the first man to co m plete cosmonaut who became the first man to complete a space dock has died aged 85. alexei lyonov stepped outside his spacecraft forjust over 12 minutes attached to the aircraft by only a small tether. he was born in siberia 1934 and became a fighter pilot in his 20s beforejoining the soviet space programme with yuri

gararin. he made his pioneering work during the coldwell battled for spaceis during the coldwell battled for space is parity between the ussr and united states. later in life he became the mind of the first ever joint us soviet mission. the duchesne which has been visiting a pub in something one is aiming to watch the uk play the czech republic in the twenty2o qualifiers. he was also writing the hat up campana mental health. he discussed the issue with several people had been affected. the idea behind the campaign as to get men as co mforta ble campaign as to get men as comfortable talking about mental health as they are talking about football. u nfortu nately health as they are talking about football. unfortunately though prince william was not able to guarantee a win for the england team. here is the weather. already some parts of the country have seen about half a months worth of rain in a day or two, and the outlook is very mixed, is not going

to be raining all the time, however they will be some spells of rain with the ground very wet there is a risk of further flooding. most of the rain we are seeing at the moment, at least across southern areas is coming from this conveyor belt, this ribbon of cloud, very wet air, claudia keeping some wrangling. that will be around throughout the weekend. as far as saturday is concerned it is raining over southern england, the rain could affect south wales at times, perhaps the south midlands and across east anglia, but away from here further north, many places will be drier, it will not be as many showers, not as windy, most places will enjoy some sunshine. cooler day where we have that ran across southern areas. rain could turn heavier later in the day and through the evening, start to push northwards further into england and wales. this weather front is bringing all that rain, it will bringing all that rain, it will bring some widespread rain on saturday night to england and wales, another area of low pressure coming out of the back of that will keep the wet weather going further west.

that ran from overnight pushes into the north sea but the western areas we have these showers and a longer spells of rain which could be quite heavy as well continuing into the afternoon further east, it may brighten up a little bit, so temperatures 16 in the south—east of england, nearer 11 celsius in the central belt of scotland with that rain around as well. a lot of uncertainty for the beginning of next week are particularly around this area of low pressure that is coming in behind the main rain band, at the moment is looking like it will be wales, the south—west of england that seem most of that rain, but the position could change. rain clearing away from the extreme south—east of england but elsewhere must of —— much of the country having a drier day, a little bit of sunshine coming through and temperatures 12— 14 degrees. that area of low pressure that does form well tend to weaken, drift eastwards, that other unusual weather front will fade away as well, there is more rain coming in from the atlantic. a few showers

heading into tuesday, rain to clear east anglia and the south—east
