this is bbc news, the headlines... morocco's worst earthquake for more than half a century is now known to have killed nearly 2,700 people. china says claims that two people — including a british parliamentary researcher — allegedly spied on its behalf are "completely fabricated". rishi sunak said he raised "strong concerns" with the chinese leadership. the whole house is rightly appalled by reports of espionage in this building. the sanctity of this place must be respected. the terror suspect who escaped from a london prison is remanded in custody and charged with absconding. he's been sent to belmarsh prison. up to 12,500 uk jobs at risk as it's claimed all 400 stores of the retail chain wilko will close by next month.

sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's mimi. hello from the bbc sport centre. we start with football and a big night for wales, who have travelled to riga. they need a win to revive their euro 2024 qualifying campaign. manager rob page is under pressure. him and his side have faced criticism after winning only one of their last 13 games. nations games and things like that, when you're doing that as well, maybe some of them results didn't come off but the experience and things that some of the players got and then games is betterfor us going forward. both england and scotland are in pole positions in their euro

qualifier groups 7 scotland maintaining their 100% winning record, with last week's win over cyprus. whilst england top their group after the draw with ukraine. they will play in a friendly, which celebrates the 150th anniversary game, to mark the first international fixture between both sides at hampden park tomorrow night. despite the match being a friendly 7 scotland boss steve clarke knows it'll be competitive given the rivalry. it will be a competitive, if you can have such a thing. i think both teams want to win, the boys from both sides from different clubs, they come across each other all season. both teams want the bragging rights. 0nce season. both teams want the bragging rights. once you get here, it will be very competitive. luis rubiales resigned from his role as the president of the spanish football federation 7 saying he hoped his departure would boost spain's joint bid with morocco and portugal to host the 2030 world cup. it comes weeks after he kissed world cup winnerjenni hermoso on

the lips after her country had won the women's world cup for the first time in the final against england. rubiales has faced criticism and possible criminal charges. rubiales said he submitted his resignation to federation acting president pedro rocha. he also resigned from his position as vice? president of uefa's executive committee. he believes he has done nothing wrong, he has talked to his family, the pressure, it was huge, not only from the state prosecutor from the moment thatjenni hermoso... that investigation, fifa has suspended him as well, finding any possible way to get rid of him and even the federation were thinking like, this is not right. see if we can get rid of him, it wasjust is not right. see if we can get rid of him, it was just one possible

solution, one possible way out of this which is resigning, really. but he says from now on he is just going to start the family's name and convince the world because we are all against him, that he was in the right. i'm not sure he's going to be able to do that at all, in any case he is out of the public. to cricket, and durham have won promotion to division one of the county championship, despite not having a game this week. leicestershire�*s failure to earn any batting bonus points against sussex means they can no longer surpass durham's current points total of 198... here at the second time, doing a lot of stuff, getting a lot of buzzing on my phone. what's going on here? i switched it on and saw the good news. we are notjust going to go to division onejust to news. we are notjust going to go to division one just to survive, we are going to try and win the thing. so

it's going to be a lot more �*s exciting to come. and that's all the sport for now. because of are

correct i don't come in very often but i do come in for a diy tooling and thanks. it will be a great loss, not everybody has got the power. when you look around, over the night, _ when you look around, over the night, the — when you look around, over the night, the cafes and stuff probably see people... this night, the cafes and stuff probably see maple-u— see people... this is one of the 52 stores already _ see people... this is one of the 52 stores already marked _ see people... this is one of the 52 stores already marked to - see people... this is one of the 52 stores already marked to close - see people... this is one of the 52 | stores already marked to close this week. those talks have fallen apart this weekend, he said, despite having the support of managers and staff and the administrator. the structure of the company means a deal wasn't possible. time to smarten up.

with big competition from rivals in recent years. despite its long history, wilco's just hasn't kept up. just a few final bits, just some cream from your face and some tea towels and you know, all and glove and tidy for the sink. don't know what's got that. and i'm hoping somebody�*s going to take it. oh, well, don't look good. that the future is bleak for more than 10,000 staff across the chain. some stores may be sold on to rivals like poundland or the range, but that's no guarantee staff will keep theirjobs. poundland and wilko both trade in very similar locations, so there's often a wilko and a poundland side by side on ebay, and in that instance they probably favour their own staff. so it's likely that they would unfortunately get rid of the wilko staff that are in the wilko store. a real sadness from staff and customers alike. the trades union congress

is under way in liverpool. the tuc announced it's reporting the uk government to the united nations watchdog on workers' rights over its new strikes law. the government says the bill will help maintain a basic function and minimum safety levels in the public sector during industrial action. let's take a closer look at the new law. the strikes minimum service levels act will require some employees to work during industrial action — orface being sacked. under the legislation, there would be no automatic protection from unfair dismissal for an employee who is told to work through a notice but chooses to strike. if a strike is not conducted in accordance with the new rules, employers would also be able to sue unions for losses. 0nce implemented, the law will apply to a wide range of key workers in england, scotland and wales, including those in the rail industry and emergency services. the government introduced the law after a year of the biggest wave

of industrial action seen in britain in three decades, in which a range of workers went on strike over pay and working conditions. the government said the new rules "protect the lives and livelihoods of the general public" as well as access to public services. but the tuc called the new law "unworkable" and "an attack on working people". it said the law also falls short of international legal standards. here's the tuc general secretary paul nowak addressing the congress this morning. congress, the right to strike is fundamental. without the right to withdraw our labour, workers become disposable, replaceable, exploitable. this new law is not about preserving services for the public, it is about telling us to get back in our place, don't demand better, sit down, shut up. well, that is not going to happen, not on our watch. live now to liverpool, and to esther lynch, the general secretary of the european tuc.

esther, lovely to see you, thank you for being with us. i listen to the speech earlier on, as i'm sure you did. he made bold statements about the strength of unions pushing back against this government legislation, but the government is standing from, what is the tuc going to do? there was a standing _ what is the tuc going to do? there was a standing ovation _ what is the tuc going to do? there was a standing ovation for- what is the tuc going to do? there was a standing ovation for paul - what is the tuc going to do? jj,, was a standing ovation for paul at the end of it. the unions here are absolutely united, including those unions who were attending from around europe who are really angry that they are being used to justify this unjust rule. it's clear at an international level, the reason we have those standards is to stop governments doing exactly what the uk government is trying to do. very farfrom the claims uk government is trying to do. very far from the claims that this is in line with those standards, it's not. and last year in the uk government was already told that its laws were too restrictive, that it needed to sit down with trade unions and to

improve that and what was the response? more restrictions, more, putting more fear in workers who want to stand up for their human right and strike.— want to stand up for their human right and strike. many people will have been watching _ right and strike. many people will have been watching paul's - right and strike. many people will| have been watching paul's speech right and strike. many people will- have been watching paul's speech and maybe watching now, thinking i missed my hospital appointment, my trains were repeatedly cancelled, these strikes do disrupt public life, and the pressures on pay are real for many people. surely the government should be doing something to impact how industrial action affects everyday working people. what responsible governments do is they sit down with workers in their trade unions, and they make sure that workers have enough pay to deal with the cost—of—living process. and they also make sure that there are adequate safeguards so that workers can... no one even goes on strike until it's the last resort. so

trying to change that by picking on one or two workers and saying no, you have to pass the picket and go to work, is not a recipe for good industrial relations. instead, the type of measure we would expect to end that the international labour organisation will require, is to look at only very very limited restrictions on the right to strike, and only in the circumstance where it's protected the safety of people, not to protect the provision of service. and we know that because international labour organisation has decided that time and time again, decades of pay have said that. this is why the e tuc is so interested in this, that there is a eu/ uk trade deal. in which the uk government committed to do two

things. one, not to step backwards on worker's rights, and to protect worker's labour standards. it's not a consequence that the uk government has decided to also breach, bringing its laws into a direct breach of the commitments it has entered into, for the uk trade deal.— the uk trade deal. general secretary ofthe the uk trade deal. general secretary of the un trade _ the uk trade deal. general secretary of the un trade deal, _ the uk trade deal. general secretary of the un trade deal, thank- the uk trade deal. general secretary of the un trade deal, thank you so l of the un trade deal, thank you so much forjoining us. a researcher in britain's parliament has said he's "completely innocent" of claims he was spying for china. he was arrested under anti—espionage laws. let's hear now from labour mp david lammy, the shadow foreign secretary. mr lammy, thank you for being with us. we heard rishi sunak talking about how serious this is, were you

happy with the responses they gave? well, look, it was a serious breach, no doubt about it. the idea that parliamentarians and their staff are subject to espionage in this way, you will recall that the foreign secretary went to china just a few days ago. we did raise with oliver dowden and indeed with rishi sunak, whether in fact the foreign secretary had been briefed about this, did he raise it with his chinese counterparts, and if he didn't, why he didn't. and we didn't get a clear answer to that question. i think there was also a lot of concern in the house that the intelligence and security committee made recommendations, one, in relation to the secrets act, and to implement a set of recommendations, we are still waiting for the government to respond. these are

serious issues and the lack of consistency from the government as a matter of concern. the consistency from the government as a matter of concern.— matter of concern. the refresh of the uk integrated _ matter of concern. the refresh of the uk integrated review- matter of concern. the refresh of the uk integrated review of - matter of concern. the refresh of| the uk integrated review of march earlier this year includes china for the first time and but very carefully described china as a challenge, it does not use the word threat, it used the word challenge. should british politicians now officially, on the record, called china a threat?— officially, on the record, called china a threat? while i agree with the former— china a threat? while i agree with the former head _ china a threat? while i agree with the former head of _ china a threat? while i agree with the former head of mi _ china a threat? while i agree with the former head of mi six, - china a threat? while i agree with the former head of mi six, that i china a threat? while i agree with. the former head of mi six, that you can't reduce our relationship with china to one single. that relation to sensitive technology and aspects of our national security, but it's also true as we speak there are 140,000 chinese students studying here in uk universities, we have £100 billion trade arrangement with

chinese. it's a complex relationship. china represents a fifth of the global economy and for all of those reasons we have to be nuanced, sophisticated, and clear ride in our approach to the country. that means we must challenge, of course, where we have to, but we must also cooperate on important issues like climate and of course we seek to compete in the areas of important to our economy, the sixth biggest in the world. figs important to our economy, the sixth biggest in the world.— biggest in the world. as you mentioned, _ biggest in the world. as you mentioned, this _ biggest in the world. as you mentioned, this is - biggest in the world. as you mentioned, this is a - biggest in the world. as you | mentioned, this is a delicate relationship because there are trade issues at stake, the foreign students you mentioned, on a practical level, what can government and what can british security services do to counter accusations of chinese meddling in british democracy7 of chinese meddling in british democracy?— of chinese meddling in british democra ? , , . ., democracy? the first thing is clear, we've not democracy? the first thing is clear, we've got to _ democracy? the first thing is clear, we've got to be _ democracy? the first thing is clear, we've got to be consistent. - democracy? the first thing is clear, we've got to be consistent. we - democracy? the first thing is clear, | we've got to be consistent. we can't jump we've got to be consistent. we can't jump around from a golden age which we had on david cameron, the concerns that have been raised by chris patton in relation to hong kong today, at the position in duncan smith's setting on the

conservative backbench. we have to be consistent in our approach, that has been wanting. we have to be serious about the state threats that exist in our society. we faced similar threats in some ways after september, the labour government then set up a very comprehensive scheme to understand the nature of those threats, we called on the government to do that again in relation to state threats, that will be state threats from china but iran, russia, you could include those. and the way we approach those right across all government agencies, the private sector and others. we did it in relation to afghanistan, al-qaeda and others. we can do that again. and it's also very very clear that where we have our intelligence and security committee calling for the government to act, we have to heed that and act, and that's why we were concerned about the issues that were raised in relation to russian interference and why we are concerned about chinese insurance

the chinese embassy and across our country which we raised concerns about, and issues that have been raised in relation to vulnerable aspects of cctv, government buildings, tick—tock, and other things. this is a pattern of behaviour, we have to be consistent about that behaviour. we have to recognise the threats that exist and we have to be clear ride in our approach to them. it's why we've said on opposition on day one, we will have a order of our relationships with china. mr will have a order of our relationships with china. mr 10 to come think— relationships with china. mr 10 to come think you _ relationships with china. mr 10 to come think you very _ relationships with china. mr 10 to come think you very much. - a london court has remanded 21—year—old terror suspect daniel khalife in custody. he is charged with escaping from wandsworth prison. the court heard he may have used bedsheets in his escape from prison last week. the home secretary says she has commissioned urgent advice

on whether to ban the breed of dog known as the american bully xl. suella braverman said they are a clear and lethal danger particularly to children. an 11—year—old girl and two men were injured in an attack in birmingham on saturday. you this video captures the scene of a violent attack in birmingham. after biting a young girl, a dog goes on to attack two other people at a carwash nearby. the footage was posted online at the weekend. speaking to the girl's mother, who did not want to appear on camera, she told me her 11 year old daughter returned home from hospital last night and was recovering well. she's allowed us to use this photo, which shows her injury. so, what happened on saturday? just go to show with the sister and just the dog attack. just go to the shop with the sister and just the dog attacked. the little one is fine now.

she's fine now? so what happened to after she was attacked? how badly was she injured7 just call the ambulance and go to hospital. this man was also bitten by the dog as he tried to intervene. translation: i tried to grab the girl. my first attempt failed. and the second time i managed to free the girl from the dog. the owner of the dog pulled the dog and i pulled the girl. the girl ran and entered the shop. the dog ran towards us. i went there and another boy came this way. the dog brought him to the ground. then i picked up a stick and tried to hit the dog a couple of times. west midlands police have said the dog was taken to a local vet, before being transported to secure kennels while investigations continued. they said its owner has also been spoken to by officers. in a social media post last night, the home secretary suella braverman, said the attack was appalling and described the breed as a clear and lethal danger. she said she was seeking urgent advice on banning them. adding dogs to the banned list is the responsibility of the department for environment, food and rural affairs. it said it takes dog attacks very seriously and is making sure the full force of the law is applied. but the calls for greater action are growing in the wake of this disturbing incident.

live now to debbie connolly, who's a dog behaviourist and expert witness for dangerous dog cases. debbie, thank you for being with us, delighted to talk to you. what do you make of the government's comments on this breed of dog? there are two main — comments on this breed of dog? there are two main issues _ comments on this breed of dog? there are two main issues here. _ comments on this breed of dog? there are two main issues here. the - are two main issues here. the last time the government commissioned a full evidence report on the dangerous dogs act, it resulted three years later in a report and then a commission to look at the report. so we are not really making any inroads here and i doubt this will be any different. we need to understand how a dog is identified, in regards of being a dangerous breed. there is no dna, no paperwork, isjust a description breed. there is no dna, no paperwork, is just a description of how big the dog should be, we don't recognise it as a breed in this country. so the idea that suella braverman can get a pen and write xl

bully at the bottom of a list of current breeds, that will not happen. it will take a long time to get to the point where the standard of what size a dog should be, and let me tell you, i have personally examined i think six xl bullies involved in a variety of incidents or threats to people, they have been anything from 35 — 65 kilos. different shapes and sizes. there is already an issue as to what is an xl and what is not an xl. we are no nearer to making that definition, i don't think suella braverman would want... , ., , , a ., , want... this dangerous dogs act goes back more than _ want... this dangerous dogs act goes back more than three _ want... this dangerous dogs act goes back more than three decades - want... this dangerous dogs act goes back more than three decades to - back more than three decades to 1991, does this mean completely scrapping it and a complete overhaul how we look at the management of dogsin how we look at the management of dogs in public? i how we look at the management of dogs in public?— dogs in public? i think the simple answer is. _ dogs in public? i think the simple answer is, yes. _ dogs in public? i think the simple answer is, yes. plenty— dogs in public? i think the simple answer is, yes. plenty of- dogs in public? i think the simple answer is, yes. plenty of experts| answer is, yes. plenty of experts exist who assess these dogs, week out, out, we go to court, we give

evidence, and yet the government ever since to come to come to us who are hands on with these dogs and day out, they will go to big national organisations who are not dealing with this regulator. the government needs to look at how they are gathering evidence in this case, need to speak to the people who handled the dogs regularly. we need legislation and we need and forced legislation. there is plenty of legislation. there is plenty of legislation out there including that breeding and breeding licensees, and yet the reality is these things are very poorly enforced, we need to address that as well. find very poorly enforced, we need to address that as well.— address that as well. and finally, 'ust address that as well. and finally, just briefly _ address that as well. and finally, just briefly debbie, _ address that as well. and finally, just briefly debbie, people - address that as well. and finally, just briefly debbie, people often| just briefly debbie, people often say it's not the dogs, it's the owners. should we actually be doing more about the people who own these stocks, not the breed themselves7 more about the people who own these stocks, not the breed themselves? we stocks, not the breed themselves? - definitely should, recommended courses of responsible dog ownership. all the forces in the country and the councils were asked to send people when we've got a very low level offence, to a course, very

unlike the previous seven days, which was a record for september, we've never had seven consecutive days back to back where temperatures have reached 30 degrees celsius before, but the heatwave is ending. we've seen this weather fronts move in across the north—west of the uk we've seen this weather front move in across the north—west of the uk through the day today, introducing cooler and fresher air and that will continue to push its way gradually south eastwards. its way gradually south—eastwards. i say cooler and fresher. actually, temperatures will be getting closer to average for the time of the year as we get towards the middle part of the week. now, we still did have warm sunshine across east anglia in south east england. temperatures still reached, well, 26 degrees or so in places, whereas across the north west of the uk we have thicker clouds and outbreaks of rain from our weatherfronts and it's from our weatherfront and it's the front that will bring a change to cooler weather. so overnight tonight, clearing skies for scotland and northern ireland. with the weather turning chilly for england and wales, a slow moving weather front tending to pep up with some persistent outbreaks of rain for some, whereas across east anglia in south east england probably staying dry,

but one or two mist patches around as we start the day on tuesday. now i think for tuesday this weather front�*s going to be really slow—moving, so rain on and off through the day and probably some of the rain quite heavy across eastern areas of england, maybe with an odd rumble of thunder. sunniest weather for scotland and northern ireland, wherever you are those temperatures coming down, 17—22 for most. then for the middle part of the week, high pressure is with us just for one day. so after a sunny start, once we've lost the early morning mist and fog, i see a bit of cloud bubbling up. the exception to the dry theme. well, for western scotland and maybe western counties of northern ireland, close to an area of low pressure, you may well see outbreaks of rain at times. those temperatures high teens to low 20s. for thursday, some strong winds around this low pressure buffeting the north—west of scotland as our weather front continues its journey southwards and eastwards across england and wales. the weather front itself continuing to weaken as it moves southwards. indeed, we'll probably start to see southerly winds move back in across east anglia, and south east england, boosting the temperatures potentially back into the mid 20s for scotland

and northern ireland. thursday's a blustery day, a day of sunny spells and showers. and then as we get through friday, more especially into the weekend, looks like we'll see more rain across southern portions of the uk, but the weather a bit more uncertain in the north.
