this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. i'm sally bundock. fears trade talks could collapse as the uk government plans to over—turn parts of its brexit withdrawal deal. hundreds of holidaymakers trapped by raging wildfires in the us state of california are air—lifted to safety. a public inquiry begins looking into the manchester terror attack where 22 people lost their lives. no title for novak — the serbian tennis player is disqualified from the us open after accidentally hitting a line—judge.

hello and welcome to audiences in the uk and around the world. the government is planning new legislation that could over—ride a key section of the brexit withdrawal agreement. the proposal would remove the legal force of customs arrangements for northern ireland, which were agreed to prevent the return of a hard border with the irish republic. the irish foreign minister said such a move would be unwise. here's mark lobel. jonathan charles is the managing director for communications at the european bank for reconstruction and development. good to see you this morning. does this not throw a grenade into the negotiation to trade

talks? i expect it is designed to dojust that, talks? i expect it is designed to do just that, the aim of the british government appears to be to pile on the pressure on the european union, notjust with this bill, which has been considered this week, which would allegedly override parts of that withdrawal agreement, but also some of the rhetoric thatis but also some of the rhetoric that is expected from the british prime minister, where borisjohnson is expected to say, to deal by the 15th of october or we move on. it is all designed to be a bit of a pressure point there because things have not been moving very much and indeed boris johnson is expected to say today that if there is no deal by the 15th of october, the uk is quite content to move on every brothers by the time preparing for no—deal brexit. looking at this legislation being prepared, what would it mean at the end of this year? you have got to remember the original idea around northern ireland as they would carry on in effect being inside the eu internal market as well as

being inside the united kingdom, the idea was to keep the borders open between northern ireland and the republic of ireland, in alignment with the good friday agreement, and this new overriding would be a harder border that the northern irish estate agent would not comply with the eu single market, it would in effect be the united kingdom standing united and alone all as one area and not northern ireland having its own deal. on top of that of course, it's not just about deal. on top of that of course, it's notjust about northern ireland, as it covers many other areas as well. laws fishing for example. two of the major sticking points in terms of agreement with the european union are fishing and state aid to. the government wishes to have the freedom to decide on those things and the eu have not been giving an inch on that. reading between the lines, what do you make of the

timing of this announcement given the fact that i have just said that talks are supposed to resume tomorrow, and we have been hearing they have not been going well to this point anyway? there is no doubt in my mind that this is deliberate, designed to soak the pressure and see what can be achieved in the next four weeks. the difficulty remains as both sides have their redlines, areas they cannot shift on. the eu has to defend the single market and say you don't get a single market deal and all the privileged access unless you area privileged access unless you are a member of the european union, and the british want to make their own course, and we had david frost, the chief british negotiator, he said the uk does not want to be a client status. as long as those two redlines cannot be shifted, it is very difficult to get the deal, but the timing of this is designed to see whether throwing a grenade into the mix can change things. make you very much indeed for now,

thanks for getting up so early for us. just to say, there is a lot more detail if you take a look at our website, online, on what ministers are planning in terms of laws to override parts of the withdrawal deal, and we will have more on that in our business coverage. what does it mean if we exit without a deal at the end of the year, coming up at the end of the year, coming up in 25 minutes as well. let's get some of the day's other news. the legal battle over the extradition to america of the wikileaks founder julian assange will move to open court later today. the united states wants mr assange to be tried there on charges relating to the disclosure of thousands of secret military documents claiming the leaks endangered the lives of agents and sources. his supporters say the charges are politically motivated and threaten free speech. the hearing is expected to last several weeks. typhoon haisen is battering the southern islands of japan with high winds and heavy rain.

thousands of homes are without power. there were mass evacuations from the region ahead of the storm, with the japanese weather agency warning of record rainfall, potential mudslides and a risk of rivers flooding. it's the second typhoon to hit the region within a week. oscar winning film directorjiri menzel, has died at the age of 82. one of the leading proponents of the czechoslovak new wave, he won an academy award for his 1966 world war two drama, closely watched trains. but he subsequently fell foul of the communist government, which banned his 1969 film larks on a string. it was eventually released in 1990 after the velvet revolution, which removed the communists from power. more than 200 people have been airlifted to safety in central california after a fast—moving wildfire threatened to cut off a popular campsite in the sierra national

forest. nearly 15,000 firefighters are battling 23 separate blazes across the state, where some areas are experiencing record temperatures because of the current heat—wave conditions throughout the region. simonjones reports. a national guard helicopter rescue for campers. about 20 people were hurt as fires trapped over 200 and a popular boating and fishing destination. after california declared a state of emergency on friday. it was that day that this happened at the popular sierra national forest, in what is being dubbed, the creek via. it spread across 36,000 acres, forcing evacuations and road closures. officials say the speed of the fire caught eve ryo ne speed of the fire caught everyone off guard. that fire

grew so quickly, so fast it traps people at mammoth pools reservoir up in the mountains, and at some point during the day, when they became trapped, they were doing what they could to rescue themselves, and make themselves safe, some of which resulted in injuries including broken bones, lacerations, scrapes, bruises, those kinds of things. as of sunday morning nearly 50,000 firefighters were battling 23 fires across the state, including this wildfire less tha n state, including this wildfire less than 100 kilometres from los angeles. it's a record heatwave with temperatures of up heatwave with temperatures of up to 125 fahrenheit during what is meant to be a holiday weekend. the national guard says it is better placed than usual to respond because of its own coronavirus preparations, but... the difference this seasonisit but... the difference this season is it has come earlier in august, somewhat earlier than a typical california fire

season, to experience this dynamic fire behaviour but it is the sheer number of fires burning throughout northern california concurrently, and several of them are large complexes burning concurrently making this historic and unusual. evacuation orders and warnings of power cuts are hardly what anyone wanted at this time of year but may be vital as weather warnings are possibly fatal temperatures are issued — warnings of. india's largest rapid transport system, the delhi metro, has reopened more than five months after it was shut down to prevent the spread of coronavirus. a day before the lockdown, the capital's railway system carried 2.7 seven million passengers. on sunday, india became the country with the world's second highest number of coronavirus infections, with well over four million cases. only the us has more cases. the indian government insisted the fatality rate is low for a population of 1.3 billion.

today is the start of a public inquiry into the manchester arena terror attack. 22 people died when a suicide bomber detonated a homemade device at an ariana grande pop concert in may 2017. the parents of the youngest victim, 8—year—old saffie rose roussos, say they do not believe that the whole inquiry will be transparent. andrew and lisa roussos are calling for lawyers representing the bereaved families to be allowed access to private hearings concerning the security services. they spoke to the bbc‘s north of england correspondentjudith moritz. singing. she never sat still. she was like that from the minute she was born. properfidget. eight—year—old saffie rose roussos was the first to die,

killed in the bombing in 2017. three years on, her parents see their pain remains raw. it still feels like yesterday, every day, every morning you wa ke every day, every morning you wake up it happens again. she died that day. every day. the public enquiry into the bombing will examine every aspect of the attack, including whether it could have been prevented. the emergency response, and the experiences of each of the 22 people who died. but the roussos family say they don't feel the whole enquiry will be transparent as some hearings are to be held in private. they wa nt are to be held in private. they want their lawyers to be present. we have five or six law firms representing all the families, so if there are five or six firms, one barrister from each firm in that room. obviously you haven't put your full trust in the chair man, but this enquiry is not about

trust, it should be about transparency. the public enquiry will begin today, and is expected to last until next spring. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: putting the pandemic behind them — the people of venice take to the water, for their annual regatta. george w bush: freedom itself was attacked this morning, and freedom will be defended. the united states will hunt down and punish those responsible. bishop tutu now becomes spiritual leader of 100,000 anglicans here, of the blacks in soweto township, as well as the whites in their rich suburbs. we say to you today in a loud and a clear voice "enough of blood and tears. enough!"

translation: the difficult decision we reached together was one that required great and exceptional courage. it's an exodus of up to 60,000 people caused by the uneven pace of political change in eastern europe. iam free! this is bbc news. the latest headlines: the uk government is planning new legislation that could over—ride a key section of the brexit withdrawal agreement. hundreds of holidaymakers trapped by raging wildfires in the us state of california are air—lifted to safety. nearly six months on from the first covid cases in yemen, the bbc has become

the first international broadcaster to reach the country to gauge the impact of the virus. yemen is divided between the houthi group, based in the north, and an internationally recognized government, in the south. even amid the pandemic, fighting between the two sides has continued. bbc arabic‘s special correspondent, nawal al—maghafi reports from sanaa, in northern yemen. here in sanaa there is a sense of hopelessness. as we arrive, another victim of covid—19 is being buried. the people here are faced with the evidence of what this virus does. but this is a country already battling the world's biggest humanitarian crisis. years of war and starvation have made people indifferent to the threat that is a deadly pandemic. we are the first international broadcaster to get to yemen since coronavirus arrived here.

and this is what we have found — there is no social distancing, and no—one is taking any precautions. i go to a local market. the people tell me corona doesn't exist here. so i ask them if they've had flu symptoms recently. translation: i did. translation: me too. i couldn't smell or taste anything. but do they go to the hospital? translation: no way. people die in hospitals. they kill people in there. but for those in the covid wards, the pandemic is real and has taken its toll on an already broken health system. doctors in yemen have been working with no government salary for years. this is sanaa's main coronavirus hospital. dr rania tells me because of the high mortality rates, they have been accused of killing the patients who come in. translation: the patients

arrive here in the final stages because of the rumour that we give people sick with covid a mercy injection. the scars from working in these difficult conditions run deep. translation: the patients are our responsibility. they depend on us to live. and we do want them to get better. it is so hard. rumours, panic, and grief — they all take turns amid an information blackout. we go to a houthi ministry of health conference to find answers. our crew are the only ones wearing masks. until today, the authorities here have only announced four covid cases. translation: thanks to god, we have been able to overcome it. we followed the plan, and the numbers decreased. i ask the houthi minister of health about fatalities.

translation: of course, there are fatalities. how many? we will issue the numbers. we have our own strategy. we left with no answers. away from covid hospitals, it's easy to see why a pandemic can seem the least of problems. during our time here, fighting continued. so did airstrikes on civilian homes. that's not all. a saudi—led coalition blockade has caused a fuel crisis that has left food prices skyrocketing. driving towards sanaa we have seen hundreds of lorries queueing for petrol. these lorries are carrying food and aid supplies to be distributed across the north, and because of the blockade, barely any fuel is getting in. and this is the result. hassan is eight years old. he's one of millions of children in yemen who are facing hunger.

his doctor tells me that aid is getting so scarce lately that hassan and other children can't have their basic needs. it's another face of the unfolding catastrophe in yemen. the world remains consumed in fighting covid—19, but for the people here, the pandemic is yet another deadly threat for them to survive. nawal al—maghafi, bbc news, sanaa. tennis and the men's number one seed, novak djokovic, has been disqualied from the us open. it follows an incident where he accidentally hit a line—judge with a ball. tim allman reports. a moment of madness and a bid for glory comes to an ignominious end. it was early days in novak djokovic's match against pablo carreno busta. he'd lost his serve in the first set and then this happened. look at the right

of the screen. djokovic turns away and hits a ball — seemingly in frustration. now see it from this angle. the serbian player had inadvertently hit a line judge, apparently in the neck. he quickly went to see if she was ok as she clearly looked to be in some distress. out came the tournament officials and djokovic pleaded his case. but rules are rules and the world number one eventually shook hands and left the court. i think that it was bad luck. you know, you cannot do this. but, of course, i think that novak never, never wants to hit the line umpire. it is not the first time such an incident has occurred. britain's tim henman had to say sorry with flowers after hitting a ball girl at wimbledon in 1995. and canada's denis shapovalov forfeited a davis cup tie in 2017 when his ball hit the umpire in the eye.

in a statement, novak djokovic said he was... "so sorry about what had happened, but was grateful the line judge was ok." he was red—hot favourite for this event, desperate for another grand slam. but after this unfortunate accident he will have to wait. tim allman, bbc news. john horn is a wta world feed commentator, grand slam commentator and tennis analyst, based in canada. hejoins me now from toronto. will come to the programme. —— welcome. it is very shocking. i think a lot of people did not expect this. obviously. it has been an odd year and these compounds it. the fact that novak djokovic, in a moment of

emotion, he was disappointed with the way he was playing, he got broken after having the chance to win the first set and was facing the possibility of losing that first set. he got upset and hit a ball and it landed on the throat of lance person. —— lines. you could tell from his reaction, there was no intent but the rules say that, if you hit somebody with a ball intentionally or unintentionally or recklessly, and it does something to somebody on the court, you are going to get defaulted. a discussion between the tournament referee as well as of the umpire and it was decided weekly that novak djokovic had to be defaulted

and lost the match. he is on the chase for roger federer‘s equalling grand slam titles and he had a chance to do it but the right decision was made and he was defaulted. most people saying it was the right call. of course, there is no audience or audience and you can hear this person gasping for air. it was quite dramatic. it was a situation that you would not normally hear but because the television microphones were right on the court and it is quite because there are no fans, you could hear her and she was gasping for air. luckily she was ok. she was resting comfortably at the hotel afterwards, after being checked out. novak djokovic making sure she was all right. it sounded scary at the time

and certainly we are all glad she is doing well but not something that... this whole 2020 campaign has been strange and people at home watching on tv to get a different perspective, you can hear their plays and here what they are sent to their coaches, talking to themselves and in this case, you could hear what went on when the woman was hit by the ball. so who is going to win the man's title? it is all open? it is definitely open. this is the first time in a long, long time where we have not seen a kawann, roger federer or rafa donadel in position to lift the trophy. —— nadal. there are a lot of young

players, so i think a lot of players, so i think a lot of players that have a chance but, ifi players that have a chance but, if i were to put my money on a player, i would a medvedev is the player also dominic thiem. it could be one of those two guys. we will be watching. good to talk to you. good to talk to you as well. and finally this — hundreds of people gathered on the banks of the grand canal in venice, to watch the annual regata storica — gail maclellan reports. had you been on the grand canal 600 years ago, you might have seen this. the boat is not nearly as grand as the original, but the typical 16th century boats commemorate how the doge and his wife would have been conveyed, along with all the highest ranking venetian officials, on occasions of state. venice is known for its masked balls,

but these masks tell a different story. translation: it is crowded but people seem careful, so i would say that we feel rather safe, and obviously the show is here. we are having a good time. crowds were thinner than in previous years, and visitors seemed to have heeded requests for faces to be covered. some tourists saw the advantages. translation: i have wanted to attend the regatta for a long time and i chose this year because, u nfortu nately, because of covid, there will be fewer people and i could enjoy it more. the racing boats followed the pageant, identified not by number but by colour. this resident thinks the occasion is smaller, more sombre, this year, less joyful though venice, she says, is always beautiful. and maybe all the boats and people will be back in 2021.

gail maclellan, bbc news. all the latest business news is next. hello there. on sunday, we had quite a bit of cloud that developed through the afternoon, notably across parts of eastern england, where we had showers, especially for yorkshire and also parts of lincolnshire, bringing us some rain here through the course of the afternoon. now, talking of rain, we've got more of that on the way right now, with rain already spreading into scotland and northern ireland. here, it's going to turn increasingly windy over the next few hours. but for many of us at least, temperatures holding up into double figures as we head into the first part of monday. now, the rain is all associated with this area of low pressure that's up near iceland. weather fronts pushing into high pressure and weakening as they reach towards the south—east. and that means, actually, we'll see rain across northern and western areas,

where it's going to be quite windy. but through the day on monday, it will probably stay dry, with sunshine across the south—east of england, turning increasingly hazy. so, this is how the charts look through monday. you can see the rain spreading from scotland and northern ireland, into the north of england, across wales. but after a sunny start elsewhere in england, yes, it will tend to cloud over, with the best of any sunshine through the afternoon hanging on across east anglia and south east england, where it will be relatively warm, with temperatures into the low 20s. brighter skies, eventually, late in the day, edging into the far north—west. now, for tuesday, we have another weather front crossing the uk. this one bringing a broad warm sector. and this wadge of warm air will be pushing right the way across the country, so it will start to feel a little bit more humid. mind you, it's also likely going to be quite cloudy, particularly across western areas, with the cloud thick enough for some patches of drizzle around some of our coasts and hills, particularly through the morning. a little bit of rain at times across the north—west as well, but where we do see some cloud breaks, and a bit of sunshine coming through, it certainly will feel on the warm side.

and actually, for many of us, those temperatures will lift into the low 20s on tuesday. tuesday promises to be the warmest day of the week. now, that warmer air is going to get shoved southwards as a cold front moves in. now, this boundary is the cold front. it's going to be bringing cloud across england and wales, with outbreaks of rain. again, the rain not really amounting to too much across south—east england. it is a weak front. but eventually, we'll get fresher air blowing into the northern half of the uk. sunshine, a few showers in the north—west. temperatures for most of us into the mid—to—high teens, so feeling pleasant in the sunshine. but across the south—east, before the front arrives, we'll still see temperatures running into the low 20s for wednesday afternoon. that's your latest weather.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. breaking the agreement? reports that uk prime minister boris johnson will announce law changes thatcould threaten the progress of trade talks with the european union. meanwhile, the uk government is urging people to come back to the office, in order to save the economy of the city centres. but will they? and, find out how rock star jon bonjovi is helping communities in the united states cope with the pandemic.

the lights are on now, so let's fill you in on the latest stories. as you've heard, the uk government is planning new legislation aimed at overriding key parts of the brexit withdrawal agreement in a move that could threaten the progress of trade talks with the european union. the next round of talks begin tomorrow. if no deal is reached by the end of this year, this new legislation would remove the legal force of customs arrangements due to come into effect in northern ireland injanuary that aim to prevent the return of a hard border with the irish republic. shortly i will be speaking to a globalfund shortly i will be speaking to a global fund manager about what the implications are of this latest move on the part of the

uk government and what it means for the trade talks and of course the time i had, so the talks resume tomorrow as i mentioned, between the trade negotiators, and now i can bring you alex stuart. you made it, which is great. give us your take on this latest step on the part of the uk government to say that new legislation is on its way, but also if no deal is agreed within the next few weeks, then all is off? yes, it does look like we're getting to the crunch state of the negotiations, and clearly the risk is that by playing ha rd ball risk is that by playing hardball like this we might get a no—deal situation. hardball like this we might get a no-deal situation. a no-deal situation at the end of this year but also a highly sensitive scenario in regards to northern ireland and the irish republic and what that could mean in terms of

brussels' reaction. yes, this has always been a sticking point in these negotiations, and that's why by changing the legislation, they are to allow state aid into northern ireland, it could be seen by the europeans as breaching the agreement we had before, so clearly, under that scenario it looks a little bit harder to getan looks a little bit harder to get an agreement in the timeframe we need to buy the middle of october. there is no official response from brussels to this news coming from downing street. borisjohnson is expected to say later if no agreement is reached by the 15th of october, both sides should move on. what will be the consequences of a no—deal at the end of this year if there is not a trade agreement in place? that is the worry. that is the big consequence, you would see the sterling would fall, there would be an impact on the uk assets and clearly you could see something like one to 2% of gdp knocked

off quarter one of 2021, and obviously a slower recovery probably since then. in the context of covid—19, obviously this would not be of the same kind of magnitude but it would certainly hinder the recovery from their, but you would expect to see some kind of reaction from the bank of england and we may even see negative interest rates. obviously the attempt to free the uk of any obligations is what the government is trying to achieve or at least downing street, boris johnson to achieve or at least downing street, borisjohnson and those closest advisers i should say. in terms of the implications for northern ireland and the republic of ireland, it's very difficult to say what this could lead to at this point?m is quite difficult to say, obviously some kind free trade agreement would be much better just generally all around. if we do have a no—deal than they could be tariffs, on goods

going between the eu and the uk, and obviously that is particularly difficult in the case of ireland when nobody wa nts to case of ireland when nobody wants to see a harder border. and in terms of what you are advising your clients at this particular moment, many of us have been so knee deep in coronavirus and the pandemic and what that means for the uk economy that the brexit negotiations has been at the back of peoples' minds, but this brings it right back to the forefront again? absolutely. is worth noting with what is going on with the coronavirus, this has been a much smaller economic impact that continues to be the case, but clearly, with the uk just coming out of lockdown and the economy looking to improve and bounce back from the coronavirus head, any further hits to that due to problems with getting a free trade agreement with europe would be

quite unhelpful at this time. what we have been saying to clients is we have so much uncertainty around what the economy is going to look like after coronavirus anyway, but the central bank interventions are pumping a lot of money into the system, they have been managing to negate quite a lot of that impact so far, but we just have to keep watching and see what happens going on from here. we do indeed, thank you for your time this morning and getting up so early. then just to say on bbc online it is our top story today, there is analysis there from our europe editor as to what this latest development means for the trade talks going forward, et cetera so do take a look at. the trains will be operating a full timetable on commuter routes from today in england. it's the first time since lockdown, as more people are expected to return to the office after the holidays. the official uk government advice to work from home was changed at the start of august to return to work

if it is safe to do so. but so far that call has been widely ignored. the head of the business lobby group the cbi says she's worried about city centres turning into ghost towns. so are people gradually heading back to work, or are we already in the new normal? joining me now is roger barker, director of policy at the institute of directors. good morning. what are your members to you about employees to work? a lot of them do actually plan to maintain quite actually plan to maintain quite a high level of homeworking going forward. although of course in many sectors there are real advantages in getting back to work in terms of building team spirit, and being more productive but this is something i think each company needs to look at on a case—by—case basis, companies have all taken risk assessments and it is very important they

consult with their employees on that. i think what we will see in many cases is some kind of hybrid arrangements emerging, which combine both working at home, sometime in the office, but not as much as in the past. is not as much as in the past is probably the new normal. what will that mean for our city centres going forward? well it potentially is very devastating. it really does affect all the hospitality businesses in the supply sectors around the hospitality businesses are. the government has to do its bit in terms of encouraging us to get back into the city centre, and people are worried about the whole commuting process, social distancing on public transport still is a real concern, and of course, things that don't help people get back onto public transport are fair increases of 1.6% which a plan for next

year, a reduction in the autumn timetable which could decrease the number of trains running by about 10%, and another thing i think people, i think that causes people concern is childcare. we want to get people back into the office and back to work and childcare infrastructure needs to be back in place,. for those members who have been in touch with you, what are they saying about getting ready for people returning? how difficult has it been? it has been very difficult because of social distancing. many officers will probably be able to accommodate half or less of the normal number of people. what you do about lefts? some officers have huge high—rise buildings, and it will take literally hours to get all of the staff back into buildings like that. how do you deal with the communal areas of buildings? all of these have to

be wrestled with on a company by company basis, so therefore while it is right to say we do need to get back into the office, and other european countries seem to be doing better than us in the moment at achieving that, it does have to be looked at a case—by—case basis. the devil is always in the detail, and thank for your time roger. the international olympic committee has stressed that next yea r‘s summer committee has stressed that next year's summer games will go ahead, regardless of the pandemic. the olympics will go ahead no matter what. back in march, they were saying that this year's olympic games will go ahead, and they of course have been postponed so of course it is still up in the air but it goes to show how much pressure the ioc is under because as we all know, it is not just about the athletes,

it's about the businesses that sponsor the event, but also broadcasting rights as well, so having to reschedule the event again, all the worst—case scenario of having to cancel the event is something the ioc is would like to avoid. the japanese government has spent a lot of money in preparation for this, they would like it to go ahead as well. interestingly if you ask the japanese public, they are somewhat divided as to whether they want the event to go ahead given how risky it could be, that it could cause a resurgence in the number of coronavirus infections if the event was to go ahead, so the opinion polls if you look at them closely, the opinions are somewhat split. but at the same time it is interesting to now look at who will replace shinzo abe when he steps down, he of course reside a couple of weeks ago and we will know on the 14th of september who will replace him as prime minister,

who could even be the prime minister to leave japan into next summer's olympic games. let's get some of the day's other news: the hotly anticipated film, tenet, made $20 million in ticket sales in the united states, after opening in american theatres over the weekend. the sales are roughly in line with expectations of a new release during a pandemic. christopher nolan's sci—fi thriller was delayed for months as a result of the coronavirus. nolan's films are usually box office hits, and so the release of the film is an important test for cinemas on how blockbusters will perform after the pandemic. south korea is preparing for the arrival of typhoon haishen. it has already battered the southern mainland ofjapan. tens of thousands of homes lost power and japanese authorities called for almost two million people to be moved out. airlines have cancelled more than 500 flights departing from southern japan. stay with us on bbc news. still to come, we'll find out how rock starjon bonjovi

is helping communities in the united states cope with the pandemic. george w bush: freedom itself was attacked this morning, and freedom will be defended. the united states will hunt down and punish those responsible. bishop tutu now becomes spiritual leader of 100,000 anglicans here, of the blacks in soweto township, as well as the whites in their rich suburbs. we say to you today in a loud and a clear voice "enough of blood and tears. enough!" translation: the difficult decision we reached together was one that required great and exceptional courage.

it's an exodus of up to 60,000 people caused by the uneven pace of political change in eastern europe. iam free! this is bbc news. the latest headlines: the uk government is planning new legislation that could over—ride a key section of the brexit withdrawal agreement. hundreds of holidaymakers, trapped by raging wildfires in the us state of california, are air—lifted to safety. it's been more than five months since the coronavirus pandemic took hold in america. millions remainjobless and food pantries continue to be swamped. nowhere is the need for them more clear than in the new york community known as the hamptons.

food was scarce and the community needed help, so rock and roll legend jon bon jovi stepped in to help. samira hussain reports. it is distribution day in this foodbank. there are no volu nteers foodbank. there are no volunteers here, just a handful of workers and staff, including jon bonjovi. of workers and staff, including jon bon jovi. the of workers and staff, including jon bonjovi. the global pandemic means his otherjob as international rockstar is somewhat on hold so he can devote time and sweat to this project. if you come here, i will show you the idea. those are about £40 a case and we usually go by the heaviest thing on the bottom. loaded onto trucks and taken across eastern long island, a process

that has happened every week since march. we would be remiss if we just wrote a check. being hands—on makes us feel good while we're doing it. this kind of work is not new forjon bon joviand of work is not new forjon bon jovi and his wife. they do philanthropic work. it is not just the people running the foodbank that are surprising, it is also the location. this area is known as a playground for the affluent, the hamptons tell the story of two different americans. one in which the wealthy ca n americans. one in which the wealthy can enjoy second homes while taking in beautiful beachesin while taking in beautiful beaches in the summertime but the other is made up of a labour is who earn a living by serving the ridge. usually

summer is when the hamptons economy booms. the arrival of the ridge residents means lots of work but not this year. local poverty has risen sharply and demand is up 300%. holly was not sure how she would feed a community until she got help from a rockstar. i could not get food from the grocery store because the shelves were empty. i could not get food from foodbank so when jon i could not get food from foodbank so whenjon bonjovi stepped in, it was a godsend. there's small people that live your year—round that are below the poverty line than the rather guys on the big estates. the coronavirus pandemic has ripped open economic divide for all to see. we did good. even right here in the hamptons.

samira hussain, bbc news. let's have a look at the financial markets. this is the seed. japan is down by a third ofa seed. japan is down by a third of a percent. hong kong is flat and the price of oil bowling as well just slightly. we and the price of oil bowling as welljust slightly. we had trading news out of china which shows china's input was well in august by 2%. expectations were that they might seep a little bit ofan that they might seep a little bit of an increase in imports so that has hit sentiment in asia as well. what is also affecting sentiment is that the seller on the nasdaq, a seller of the big tech stocks which have had such an incredible run this year and this happened before the close of trade on wall street. markets pretty negative on wall street but today that will not be open because i have a public holiday, a long weekend in the us. no action on wall street.

asian shares pretty defensive following the sell—off of tech shares on friday. before we wrap up, let's mention this story, thomas hardy's family we re story, thomas hardy's family were forced to flee germany when the nazis came to power. 60 years later, the author returned to the house by the la ke returned to the house by the lake with his grandmother. it became an obsession for thomas who is now written a children's book about the house and its inhabitants and how it has been a window on europe's history. a long time ago there was a little wooden house by the lake. it was built by a kind doctor and his wife who once lived here with their four children away from the busy city. i wrote the book because

it has a remarkable history. when my family was there it was during the nazi period and the second time during the second world war and second time during the second world warand in second time during the second world war and in the 1960s, the building wall was built between the back of the house and the like, right through the garden. they have lived near the lake and all they could see was of all. my grandmother was larger—than—life. she would a lwa ys larger—than—life. she would always talk about this little house that she had to leave in a belly and when she was in her 80s should be and my cousins back to see the place where she grew up. she sat down on the plane and she said, you need to look at these documents. this is my grandfather's passport. you can see the swastika symbol. this is my great grandfather alfred. a jewish doctor. he was one of the very fewjewish soldiers given the

iron cross first class. when the nutters came into power, he could not imagine what they had become because he was german. this is the neighbour told me my great—grandfather telling my grandfather to leave the country. a young man to get a key, open the door and saw at once that the house needed help. so i went back to germany in 2013 and i found the house in terrible shape. the windows are broken, the balls that graffiti and over the last 6— seven graffiti and over the last 6— seve n yea rs graffiti and over the last 6— seven yea rs awoke graffiti and over the last 6— seven years awoke with local community and members of my family to first clean up the house and save it from destruction. —— i worked. the houseis destruction. —— i worked. the house is now a place of education and reconciliation we re education and reconciliation were members of the public, schoolkids, can visit and it is a chance of them to look at the history, learn lessons of the past so that hopefully you do not make the same mistakes

again. finally the house shown like new. it was a witness to some of the most horrible things in the 20th century but it was also a place of pleasure and dance and storytelling and friendship and family and i would love that it could continue inspiring people to appreciate those things in their lives. the top stories: ministers planning new legislation that would override a key part of last yea r‘s would override a key part of last year's eu withdrawal agreement. how is the eu likely to react to this? you have this international treaty which was only recently signed a few months ago between the uk government and the eu now being undermined by uk legislation. you can expect a very strong reaction not just here you can expect a very strong reaction notjust here in brussels but in paris, lurline and elsewhere. time and again.

we had the trade negotiations which are not going very well. —— berlin. the northern ireland protocol is a key trust issue between the eu and the uk and a key to having a successful trade negotiations. this news breaking tonight but i have been speaking to sources in brussels and a key diplomat said it is notjust about trust, credibility but, if this uk legislation undermines the irish protocol, this could lead to the unravelling altogether of these trade negotiations. he called it a self—defeating strategy by the uk and this comes on the eve of the eighth round of trade negotiations. they are about to have a meeting and this report will not help ease the atmosphere. if you look at bbc online, more

with lots of use about brexit. i will see you soon. hello there. on sunday, we had quite a bit of cloud that developed through the afternoon, notably across parts of eastern england, where we had showers, especially for yorkshire and also parts of lincolnshire, bringing us some rain here through the course of the afternoon. now, talking of rain, we've got more of that on the way right now, with rain already spreading into scotland and northern ireland. here, it's going to turn increasingly windy over the next few hours. but for many of us at least, temperatures holding up into double figures as we head into the first part of monday. now, the rain is all associated with this area of low pressure that's up near iceland. weather fronts pushing into high pressure and weakening as they reach towards the south—east. and that means, actually, we'll see rain across northern and western areas, where it's going to be quite windy. but through the day on monday, it will probably stay dry, with sunshine across

the south—east of england, turning increasingly hazy. so, this is how the charts look through monday. you can see the rain spreading from scotland and northern ireland, into the north of england, across wales. but after a sunny start elsewhere in england, yes, it will tend to cloud over, with the best of any sunshine through the afternoon hanging on across east anglia and south east england, where it will be relatively warm, with temperatures into the low 20s. brighter skies, eventually, late in the day, edging into the far north—west. now, for tuesday, we have another weather front crossing the uk. this one bringing a broad warm sector. and this wadge of warm air will be pushing right the way across the country, so it will start to feel a little bit more humid. mind you, it's also likely going to be quite cloudy, particularly across western areas, with the cloud thick enough for some patches of drizzle around some of our coasts and hills, particularly through the morning. a little bit of rain at times across the north—west as well, but where we do see some cloud breaks, and a bit of sunshine coming through, it certainly will feel on the warm side. and actually, for many of us, those temperatures will lift into the low 20s on tuesday. tuesday promises to be

the warmest day of the week. now, that warmer air is going to get shoved southwards as a cold front moves in. now, this boundary is the cold front. it's going to be bringing cloud across england and wales, with outbreaks of rain. again, the rain not really amounting to too much across south—east england. it is a weak front. but eventually, we'll get fresher air blowing into the northern half of the uk. sunshine, a few showers in the north—west. temperatures for most of us into the mid—to—high teens, so feeling pleasant in the sunshine. but across the south—east, before the front arrives, we'll still see temperatures running into the low 20s for wednesday afternoon. that's your latest weather.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: find this man — police in birmingham issue an urgent appeal after a spate of stabbings left one person dead and seven others injured. on the eve of crunch brexit trade talks, the government warns it will re—write a deal already agreed with the eu. the families searching for answers — the public inquiry into the manchester arena attack begins today. lessons will never be learned unless we get that transparency and honesty from the people involved to get the a nswe rs from the people involved to get the answers that we need.
