saying it's time to put scotland's future in scotland's hands and calling for a second independence referendum next year. nicola sturgeon warns that the uk may still leave europe without a deal — and that there's brexit—related chaos to come. who should decide scotland's future? the people who live here or boris johnson? a vote for the snp on december 12th is a vote to escape brexit. we're live in glasgow injust a moment. the other headlines this lunchtime... the labour leader produces documents which he claims shows the government has discussed offering the united states access to the nhs after brexit.

these documents confirm the us is demanding the nhs is on the table in the trade talks. these uncensored documents leave borisjohnson‘s denials in absolute tatters. it is total nonsense. and this is brought up time and again by the labour party as a distraction from the problem is that they are having. by the way, if you are worried about those egg whites, why notjust make some meringues? gary rhodes, the celebrity chef who championed british food, has died at the age of 59. after a cinema chain bans a new film about gangs after brawls broke out, its director tells us his movie had nothing to do with the violence. is it prejudiced? do they believe this film brings a certain type? is it a colour thing? you start thinking all these things, you know and then, i don't know, it was an upsetting time. and the theatre director, writer and broadcasterjonathan miller

has died at the age of 85. and coming up on bbc news, tottenham's unlikely hero, as the ball boy's quick thinking helszose mourinho to his second win in two games in charge of spurs. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. the scottish national party has launched its manifesto for next month's general election, saying it is time for scotland to be treated fairly. the party leader, nicola sturgeon, said the country will pay a price for what she called the conservatives' "obsession" with brexit. she said another independence referendum next year would be the main demand for supporting a possible minority labour government, alongside calls

for increased spending on the nhs. our scotland correspondent james shaw is in glasgow. well, the snp may be the last of the big parties to launch their ma nifesto, big parties to launch their manifesto, but last doesn't necessarily mean least. this is a party that could have a role to play ina party that could have a role to play in a future government of the country. for many, this is the brexit election. for nicola sturgeon and the snp, it is also the independent selection. because her prize for supporting a minority labour government would be the right to hold a second independence referendum —— price. first, there was a warning about what she thinks a conservative government would actually mean. unless boris johnson is stopped, this willjust be the

start. brexit is nowhere near being done. the tories have barely got going. they haven't even started trade talks yet and because of johnsen‘s hardline position, there is every chance, every chance, that the uk will leave the eu without a trade deal next year. that would be a catastrophe forjobs. and even if he somehow avoids that, he is a dream deal will be a nightmare for scotland. —— his dream deal. dream deal will be a nightmare for scotland. -- his dream deal. and nicola sturgeon had a big promise on the nhs, another part of that price for supporting labour. if the next uk government raised health spending per head to the current scottish level, it would not only substantially increase health investment in england, it would mean by 2024—25, front line investment in nhs scotland would be £4 billion higher than it is today. other

priorities include £1.5 billion to end austerity, decisive moves to halt climate change, opposition to increasing the pension age and scrapping trident nuclear submarines are based in scotland. but what about another independence referendum? people are becoming increasingly sick of hearing jeremy corbyn and boris johnson increasingly sick of hearing jeremy corbyn and borisjohnson talking about not allowing the scottish people to choose their own future. well, i've got news for them. it is not up to you. applause and do you know what? it is not up to me either. it is for a decision —— a decision for the people of scotland. in scotland, it is hard to separate their selection from the independence question. if boris johnson wins and brexit happens, does that mean scottish voters will

be more likely to want to break away from the united kingdom? the answer to that question affects the future of scotla nd to that question affects the future of scotland and the rest of the uk. just one more detail from that ma nifesto just one more detail from that manifesto launch but possibly an important detail, nicola sturgeon also said that if there was a danger ofa also said that if there was a danger of a no—deal brexit, the uk leaving the european union without a deal, then the snp would be in favour of revoking article 50. in other words, deciding to end the brexit process but without a referendum. however, we are a long way from that becoming a reality that the country has too look at seriously. james, thank you for now. james shaw. jeremy corbyn says he has evidence that the nhs is at risk from a post—brexit trade deal with the united states. at a news conference this morning, the labour leader produced documents which he said showed talks had taken place about drugs pricing and access to nhs contracts.

borisjohnson dismissed the claims as "total nonsense" and said he could give an "absolute cast iron guarantee" the nhs would not be on the table in trade talks. our political correspondent jessica parker reports. 451 a51 pa g es a51 pages of unredacted documents and information. all of it here. brandishing these, it was intended to bea brandishing these, it was intended to be a dramatic moment. he claims these documents, detailing meetings between us and uk officials, prove the nhs is at risk from a conservative led brexit. more expensive drug prices, he says, runaway privatisation. now we know, direct from the secret reports that they never wanted you to see. the us is demanding that our nhs is on the table in negotiations for a toxic deal. it is no secret that american

companies want access to the uk drugs market, but in these piles and piles of documents, do you have evidence that uk ministers agreed that the health service should be pa rt that the health service should be part of trade talks? if you want to know whether ministers were involved in these talks or not, then they sanctioned the talks, they are obviously fully aware of the talks and they are the ones that were declining to make the documents published. if, say boris johnson is the next prime minister and he wants to secure a trade deal with the us, he is going to have to concede ground ona he is going to have to concede ground on a number of issues. i'm certain that the nhs will be one of them. so there is a big wad of paper to wade through and interpret and labour will make its claims in terms of what these meetings, which we have heard of before, really amount to. but of those claims will be heavily contested. borisjohnson, visiting a hospital today, wasn't prime minister when these meetings took place and said... there will be

110 took place and said... there will be no sale of the nhs, no privatisation. the nhs is not on the table in any way. the nhs is in no way on the table, in no aspect whatever. and this, as i say, is continually brought up by the labour party as a diversionary tactic from the difficulties they are encountering. today's effort and a big moment for labour came after a series of difficult ones forjeremy corbyn yesterday. are you fit for high office? heavily criticised over his handling of anti—semitism allegations, he was asked again if he wanted to apologise to thejewish community. i made it very clear, anti—semitism is completely wrong in oui’ anti—semitism is completely wrong in our society. our party did make it clear when i was elected leader and after that that anti—semitism is unacceptable in any form in our party or our society and, indeed, offered its sympathies and apologies to those that had suffered. whilst

his shadow chancellor said this. we have a said that and i will repeat again, i have a said that and i will repeat again, lam have a said that and i will repeat again, i am really sorry the way we handled the issue because we learned the lessons from that and we have also invited people to say if there are still more lessons to be learned, come and see us and help us. learned, come and see us and help us. talking about the nhs today, thatis us. talking about the nhs today, that is more comfortable territory forjeremy corbyn. politicians may find a path onto other topics but it isn't always easy. our health editor hugh pym is here. we saw we saneremy called ensuring those documents. is there new information in them? what do you make of it? well, what we do know is there were six meetings, this was revealed a few weeks ago, between 2017 and the summer few weeks ago, between 2017 and the summer between uk officials and us officials, scoping out the potential for a future trade agreement between the uk and the us post brexit. and it was leaked at the time that a drug prices in the nhs were somehow pa rt drug prices in the nhs were somehow part of this. so labour have got

hold of the minutes of these meetings. they are pretty technical but a couple of things spring out from reading them. one is patented issues, which means that the americans want longer patenteds for their drugs —— patents. that means they have longer exclusivity and can charge more. secondly, total market access for the us for all uk sectors, not really ruling out health. but this is very much what the americans want and what officials would have reported back backin officials would have reported back back in london and i think where jeremy corbyn can say this is on the table, yes, it is on the table but borisjohnson table, yes, it is on the table but boris johnson can say table, yes, it is on the table but borisjohnson can say well, the actual trade talks haven't begun between governments. that happens after brexit and as far as he is concerned, the nhs won't be on the table. but it very much raises the possibility that the american side will ask for a whole range of things, including issues around a drug prices and what it means for the nhs.

our assistant political editor norman smith is in westminster. jeremy corbyn saying that this is an election to do with saving the nhs. is it? well, i think it is absolutely true that a one issue in this election whichjeremy corgan has scored on is the nhs and, in particular, the fear that it might be on the table in any future trade talks with the us —— jeremy corgan. we have seen that at his rallies, with all of his supporters chanting "not for sale" and we have seen it in some of the television debates where the audience have a sort of warmed to mr corbyn when he has raised this, which is why they have released this october delete —— tomah documents, they want to ramp up tomah documents, they want to ramp up that fear factor and to boris johnson, they say simply that you say the nhs is not for sale but a50 pages is a funny way to say no. but while these documents tell us what the us ones, full market access,

longer patenteds for medicines and loose drug controls, they don't really tell us what uk officials are prepared to give, in other words what we brits would be prepared to concede, and they certainly don't tell us what any british prime minister would dare do if they wa nted minister would dare do if they wanted to make it out of downing street in one piece. so you are left with the thought, yes, labour want these documents to somehow maybe be a turning point in this election, to shift it back onto the nhs. the risk is that, well, they are just seen as a rather crude scare tactic after a difficult few days for the labour party on the campaign trail over anti—semitism and tax. party on the campaign trail over anti-semitism and tax. thank you, norman, get back in the dry. the leader of plaid cymru, adam price, has insisted that his demand for a future referendum about welsh independence is realistic. the party, which is defending four seats at the election, wants a referendum by 2030. mr price said support

for a breakaway is growing. if you look at younger people, 5a% now support independence. it's theirfuture, you know, that we are talking about and i think there is a realisation, look at the chaos of westminster in the last three and a half years. many, many people are coming to the conclusion there has to be a better way, a welsh way of solving our problems. later in the programme, we'll be taking a closer look at the environmental policies of the main parties. taking a look at some of today's other main stories... more protests have been held in malta, against the prime ministerjoseph muscat, as police continue their investigation into the murder of a journalist two years ago. daphne ca ruana galizia was investigating corruption in malta when she was killed. three senior government figures stood down yesterday — they have all denied any involvement in her death. they include the prime minister's chief of staff, who is now being questioned by police.

the celebrity chef gary rhodes has died, at the age of 59. he presented bbc series including masterchef and rhodes around britain — and, in his restaurants, was awarded a record five michelin stars. tributes have been paid by many of the country's best—known chefs. gordon ramsay said that gary rhodes put british cuisine on the map. and marcus wareing said he will be remembered as a great british icon. our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba looks back at his career. when it came to kitchen cuisine, gary rhodes' flairfor when it came to kitchen cuisine, gary rhodes' flair for food made when it came to kitchen cuisine, gary rhodes' flairforfood made him a rock star chef, perhaps the first to really make cooking cool. you have got flavour, you have got taste. pretty good question to ask, the kitchen is so hard here...m was more than 30 years ago that keith floyd filmed a young head chef at the michelin starred castle hotel in taunton. rhodes still in his

mid—20s. his firstjob was in amsterdam, but his kitchen career, working in a hotel, was almost derailed. running for a tram, he was hit by a van. his head injury destroyed his senses of taste and smell, crucial tools for a chef. the doctor said, you haven't done very well and i said what does this mean because schumacher said it means you need a new career. and, for me, that was devastating —— i said what does this mean? he did recover and starting with hot chefs, landed a succession of high—profile cooking jobs. we are on the great british revival. if you are worried about egg whites, make some meringues. just in case i did curdle it. he was one of those chefs i always wanted to watch work. i don't normally sit there and watch other chefs doing demonstrations but with gary, it was always something new. his approachable personality meant he was also in prime—time demand, from

the holiday programme. was also in prime—time demand, from the holiday programmelj was also in prime—time demand, from the holiday programme. i am a chef and they have sent me touring but you won't catch me doing any cooking. iam here you won't catch me doing any cooking. i am here to find out... to strictly. contemporaries have been paying tribute. gordon ramsay said he was a fantastic chef who put british cuisine on the map. ainsley harriet described him as a culinary icon. monica colletti said she was honoured to have known him. our top story this lunchtime. the snp launches its election manifesto — saying it's time to put scotland's future in scotland's hands — and hold another independence referendum next year. and coming up — with climate change a hot topic for all the parties in the election — we examine their environmental pledges. coming up on bbc news. former australia rugby star israel folau ups his demands for compensation from the country's

governing body following his high profile sacking for making anti—gay remarks on social media. the director of blue story, the new film about london gangs which has been banned by some cinemas after a mass brawl in birmingham, has said the violence in cinemas had nothing to do with the film. the vue chain has stopped showing blue story, because it says there have been incidents in 16 of their theatres. rapman, who also wrote the film, has questioned whether there are ‘hidden reasons' for the ban — vue insists its decision had nothing to do with race. our arts editor will gompertz has been speaking to the filmmaker. fictional trouble on the streets of london. real trouble on the streets of birmingham. the urban drama, blue story, has become a news story, after vue cinemas decided to pull it

from all its screens for what they claimed was security reasons. a decision which has astonished the director. i was thinking, what is the reason? does the owner have an issue with the urban youth. it's it prejudiced? is this a colour thing? you start going through all these things. it was an upsetting time. the film is based on gangs and they have been in cinema watching it together. that reminds us of that. and leaving connected. did you ever think that it could be a lightning rod for trouble? i knew it would attract a lot of young people and

that was the aim. it was the aim to have the cinema fills up with 15—year—olds making the choice whether to go down that route or that route. did i think people would be pulling out a machete? of course not. and no one did because of blue story a nyway. not. and no one did because of blue story anyway. how does it make you feel as a film—maker to have this decision made? i feel cheated. it is always an upwards hurdle, coming from my background. the last thing i thought was a cinema would ban us from every single site. what do you think the sort of decision says to the next rapman, trying to make the same journey you have made? it is just telling them, it will be a hard journey, and when you get there, it will not get any easier. but we crack on.

they take our legs, we crawl. the chief executive of vue cinemas international said we do not condone any form of violence, abuse of staff 01’ any form of violence, abuse of staff or customers or discrimination in any form. we agree that the issues that have arisen are not about the film. i spent my career championing diversity in the industry. blue story are still being screened by other cinema chains. the bodies of 16 people who were found dead in a lorry in essex last month have arrived back in vietnam. they were flown to hanoi airport before being taken by ambulance to their family homes. they were among 39 migrants who were found in the lorry in grays. several people have been arrested or charged, investigations are continuing in the uk and in vietnam. now when manchester united take to the field in kazakhstan tomorrow in the europa league, one name in the squad will stand out.

max taylor has never played senior football — but what makes the 19 year old's debut even more special is that it comes just two months after overcoming testicular cancer. he's been speaking to the bbc. you're by yourself, you can't sleep and all you're thinking is, "this is serious, this could end my life." hi, my name is max taylor. i'm a professional footballer for manchester united. i'd been checking and i'd felt a lump and so i went to the doctor and said, "well, obviously i've got a lump here." he ran a scan over it and was like, "yeah, it's normal, just a cyst, quite common in teenagers." i think it was a week of antibiotics at the time. had those, a week later and it had come back bigger. i got told there was a 30 millimetre cancer. and my mum broke down straightaway. and i was sort of like, so taken aback by it, i didn't cry. and then i got out and it was like, "oh my god."

just my mind was just running at 100 miles an hour. just what could happen, what's next, will i play football again? will i be alive? once i got out of the chemo and it was all successful i thought, "right, i will get back there." and then when i came back, jose mourinho had gone and ali had come in. they invited me to come out and watch the first team training because at that time i couldn't train yet, i couldn't do anything. so i came out and then i was stood there just talking with ali. it was a great way to come back, it was uplifting. it taught me to appreciate the things that you love and i don't know what i would do if i wasn't playing football. back now to the election — and discussions about climate change and the environment have played a bigger part in the campaign so far than ever before. so how do the main parties

compare in their pledges? our environment analyst roger harrabin reports. this year has been massive for the environment in general and for climate change in particular. we've had the teenage campaigner greta thunberg. we've had extinction rebellion invading our streets. we've had dire warnings from scientists and we had very powerful films from david attenborough. so perhaps it's not surprising that in the 30 years i've reported this issue, this is by far the greenest election. parties are finally competing over their climate offer. they are fighting against each other to have the best climate policies and that is brilliant. it's the worst of times because we have started late and there is a huge amount to do if we are to meet a net zero target. so how are politicians responding to this massive challenge? well, most of them have set a target date by which the uk should virtually eliminate those greenhouse gases that are superheating the planet. the question is, what

should that date be? so the greens say it should be done by 2030. but imagine the consequences of that. all petrol and diesel cars off the road. all central heating boilers changed for something cleaner. all homes super insulated. is that realistic? labour have given themselves a bit more wiggle room, the 20305, they say. lib dems say 20a5. and the conservatives, 2050. the question is, what policies are they going to put in place to achieve those ambitions? well, the green party say they will borrow £100 billion a year for cleaner buses, trains and massive home insulation. labour say they will insulate every home and they've got a big spending policy for renewable power. 60 million is the number of trees that will be planted a year under

liberal democrat plans. and the conservatives point to their record saying that they have created a boom in offshore wind while they have been in government. they have also set world leading targets on climate change. but some say they have undermined those targets by banning the cheapest form of energy, onshore wind. and what we have found this election is that yes, the green party have responded to the emergency that the public have identified. labour and the liberal democrats are really getting to grips with it, with a few areas that definitely need improving. but across the board, despite some good policies, the conservatives have not shown the ambition, the funding, or the policies that are needed to step up to addressing the climate emergency. from a scientists' perspective, all of this should have happened 30 years ago. and with just over two weeks before polling day you can find out what each party is promising to do

on the issues that matter to you. just go to the bbc news website to find our general election policy guide which now lets you easily compare between each party and their policies. check it out at bbc.co.uk/new or on the bbc news app. the distinguished writer, director and broadcaster sirjonathan miller has died. he was 85. he found fame as a member of the beyond the fringe comedy revue. a man of many parts he was also a photographer, sculptor and a qualified doctor. sarah campbell looks back at his long career. opera singing. jonathan miller directing the opera don pasquale in florence. when you give him the soup, you can go to the back and then go, "hello". he was one of the world's great opera directors, an accomplished theatre director, a television presenter, a humorist,

an artist and sculptor, an all—round intellectual, and a lapsed medic. perkins, sorry to drag you away from the fun, old boy. that's all right, sir. the war is not going very well, you know. oh, my god! his life changed in 1960 when the trainee doctor was invited to join the cast of beyond the fringe — the ground—breaking satirical revue also starred alan bennett, peter cook, and dudley moore. i want you to lay down your life. yes, sir. we need a futile gesture at this stage. it's success was immense. it transferred from edinburgh to london and then to new york. miller's medical career never recovered. don't come back. right you are. goodbye, perkins. god, i wish i was going too. goodbye, sir. or is it au revoir? no, perkins. hold your tongue. i won't! off with her head! he moved into television, making films like this 19605 acid trip

version of alice in wonderland. if you prick us, do we not bleed? soon he was directing plays as well including laurence olivier, no less, as sha kespeare's shylock. and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge! if we are like you in the rest we will resemble you in that! blood vessels, heart, and intestine, bladder and lungs... he presented a medical series on television, the body in question. and said his training as a doctor helped his work with actors. i had been taught to look for the small details, by means of which the doctor infers what might be wrong, little tiny details of how people carry themselves, how they talk. these negligible details which you are trained to keep your eye open for were absolutely all that the theatre was about. some of his operas stayed

in the repertory for decades. though the critics sometimes sneered. the thin skinned miller took that badly, perversely claiming he was underappreciated in britain. i get asked to do things now much less than i used to. i mean in england, i don't get asked to do anything. some indeed thought him too clever by half. his versatility made him a figure of fun. it didn't stop him, late in life, starting to make abstract sculptures out of metal. if you are here singing i think you need to be a little bit more facing that direction. he was an egotist who could be devastatingly rude, but he was also a superb educator and entertainer, playful, occasionally pretentious, rarely predictable. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. iam sounding i am sounding like a broken record,
