hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. us screenwriters reach a tentative deal with studio bosses, which could end a five—month strike. before we get into all of that, let's check on the sport with betty. hello from the bbc sport centre. the dutch football association has confirmed that the abandoned match between ajax and feyenoord at the weekend will resume behind closed doors on wednesday. feyenoord led 3—0 after 56 minutes when the game was stopped as home fans threw flares and fireworks onto the pitch. trouble continued outside thejohan cruyff arena as police used tear gas on fans outside the stadium. ajax say they disagree with the decision to finish the game on wednesday because of fixture congestion and are considering legal action.

ajax were hoping to play the game in the later stage and finally said look we are 3—0 up, it's not our problem. the victory should be given to us today or monday. everybody got together under the rules which we have, we played this game within the next 48 hours. that is what is happening on wednesday afternoon. ajax play five for the remaining 35 minutes in the arena and there will be no spectators at all. in spain yesterday, attention now turns to rome and the ryder cup that gets going on friday. the united states are aiming to win on european soil for the first time since 1993. while europe will be hoping to come back from a crushing defeat in the usa two years ago.

team europe captain luke donald says his side have their "work cut out" to win. he's also been talking about the competitions hectic schedule. it is a long build—up, the ryder cup. these next few days, there's a lot of team dinners and practice in dealing with crowds, and it's mentally pretty sapping. i remember as a player that you were really ready to go by friday, so i'm wary of some of that. i will certainly be considering that, but it is not out of the question that some people may play five. australia have slipped to tenth in the world — their lowest ever ranking — after their heavy defeat to wales at the rugby world cup. their 60 points to 6 loss means they now need other scores to go their way to stand any chance of advancing to the knockout stages and avoiding their earliest exit in the tournament. finn morton writes for rugby pass. the writing has been for this team

for some time. they were 0—5, zero wins forfive for some time. they were 0—5, zero wins for five matches coming into the world cup and the win over georgia was a minor step in the right direction, but like i said, the writing was on the wall. no giants of international rugby has fallen harder than the wallabies. and i think that's apparent at the moment. what is probably that darkest day in australian rugby history. the england and wales cricket board have announced the formation of a new independent regulator for the sport. and say they want to completely change the game. it's in response to a report earlier this year, which detailed widespread racism, sexism and elitism in cricket. here's our our sports editor dan roan. the game has undergone a period of soul—searching over the last free months, and nowhere has that process been more relevant or painful than inherent headingley,

the county was engulfed in a racism scandal two years ago. it was heavily criticised for the way that it handled the allegations of its former player azeem rafiq, and it was fine hundred of thousands of pounds and docked 48 points in the county championship by the ecb earlier this year, but this this scandal spreads well be on one county, because three months ago, the independent commission for equity in cricket produced a damning report that found that the game across england and wales had deep—rooted racism, sexism and elitism. it urged the sport to reset and it gave it 44 recommendations. medially at that point the ecb apologised and is valid to make transformative change and become the most inclusive sport in the country. and that's all the sport for now. betty, thank you very much. the writers guild of america says it has a tentative agreement in place

with the major hollywood studios to end a i46—day— strike which has cost the american economy at leas five billion dollars. virtually all production of scripted content has been cancelled since july. and its notjust la suffering, other tv hubs like new york and georgia have been affected too. the writers guild says the deal on the table is still "subject to the draughting of final contract language." but if a deal is in hand with the writers, then the studios will hope they can soon turn to cutting a deal with the actors, who remain on strike. joining me now from los angeles is sandro monetti who's the editor of hollywood international film—maker magazine. there he is. lovely to see you. no wonder you are smiling, the show could be back up and running if this tentative deal is put into language. what does tentative mean? put down the placards. — what does tentative mean? put down the placards, picked _ what does tentative mean? put down the placards, picked up— what does tentative mean? put down the placards, picked up the _ the placards, picked up the champagne. it means that after 146 days, people are all set to go back to work. what does tentative mean?

it means that the lawyers are draughting the contract that will go to the wga board, and then the members who have been on strike for five months will get to see exactly what proposals they are negotiating and they will vote on them. it looks like in the industry that people are accepting that this will be voted in. majorshows accepting that this will be voted in. major shows like saturday night live are already planning to be back on air in mid—october. the late—night talk shows, the daytime talk shows, which you have been noticing our off air for months. they are already making plans that this is pretty much going to get a green light. so at least from the writing side of the industry, things are about to head back to normal. that's a good point, because i presume that the writers come back the actors come back, but there is a lot of bad blood there, isn't there? there is. it certainly there is a lack of trust, really, between the studios and streamers and the

writers and the actors. yes, essentially the actors strike, the actors have been out on strike since july. it's about money, it's about the threat of ai. at the specifics within that are very different. so there are no immediate talks for the studios to get around the table with the actors. but it is an encouraging sign. now, ithink the actors. but it is an encouraging sign. now, i think he breakthrough and all of this was when four of the top media executives last week actually got around the table to negotiate personally because the likes of netflix, disney, warners, universal are under huge pressure from their shareholders to get a deal and stop haemorrhaging money and have everything back on track. i noticed in early trading today, stock prices, a lot of these entertainment companies were up and also cinema chains as well. it's not

just in hollywood, new york and london they are celebrating commit is on wall street as well because a lot of those nerves have been taken away and there is hope where there wasn't before. but now a deal has been found for the writers, maybe one can be found for the actors as well. ., ., ., . ., one can be found for the actors as well. ., ., ., ., ., ., well. you go to a lot of screenings and ou well. you go to a lot of screenings and you are _ well. you go to a lot of screenings and you are writing _ well. you go to a lot of screenings and you are writing about - well. you go to a lot of screenings and you are writing about the - well. you go to a lot of screeningsj and you are writing about the next big things that are coming. what does the winter schedule look like? well, it's very different. warners is a studio which has lost lots of money because they decided to move their big christmas movie and also their big christmas movie and also their big christmas movie and also their big oscar hope out of the n'simba release save jewel through to march. thinking that the all—star cast would not be available to promote it because they cannot, if they are still on strike, cannot promote these things. also as someone who moderates a lot of 08a is, ifind myself at someone who moderates a lot of 08a is, i find myself at screenings and premieres during interviews with directors, but never with actors or

screenwriters like i normally would. so the whole hollywood screening structure has been appended. yeah, as talk shows come back, yes, they want to be able to interview any actors because they are still out on strike. you know, it's one foot in, one foot out to. but there is room for cautious optimism here in the industry. it for cautious optimism here in the indust . , , ., ., industry. it must be an enormous relief in a — industry. it must be an enormous relief in a place _ industry. it must be an enormous relief in a place like _ industry. it must be an enormous relief in a place like los _ industry. it must be an enormous relief in a place like los angeles. relief in a place like los angeles because anyone who has been to a live shoot, there are rigorous, the man and women who make the coffee, who make the sandwiches. there is a whole infrastructure that goes around television ntb. so the knock on effect to the wider economy is enormous. i on effect to the wider economy is enormou— on effect to the wider economy is enormous. . ,., . y ., ., enormous. i am so glad you mentioned that. -- television _ enormous. i am so glad you mentioned that. -- television and _ enormous. i am so glad you mentioned that. -- television and tv. _ enormous. i am so glad you mentioned that. -- television and tv. when - enormous. i am so glad you mentioned that. -- television and tv. when the i that. -- television and tv. when the actors are outcome _ that. -- television and tv. when the actors are outcome it _ that. -- television and tv. when the actors are outcome it means - that. -- television and tv. when the actors are outcome it means the - actors are outcome it means the drivers, the caterers who provide for these shows and all the other support services cannot work as well because the industry is effectively

installed by china to prevent fishing boats entering a contested part of the south china sea. the philippene government said the barrier was a hazard to regional navigation, and a clear violation of international law. the video the coastguard released showed divers beneath the buoys cutting a cable that linked them together. and this photo which showed them removing an anchor that moored the "floating barrier". chinese forces have frequently harassed the philippine coastguard. recently they fired water cannon at philippeno boats that were resuppling a military outpost on a disputed reef. recently the philippenes signed a mutual defence treaty with the united states, that would extend to "an armed attack on the philippine armed forces, or any of its vessels in the south china sea. joining me now is dr bill hayton, who is an associate fellow

felt he could cut a deal with china directly and was disappointed. but with the new president, mr marcos junior, he sees much more eye to eye with the us, and there is plenty of evidence that the philippines side and the us are working quite carefully together, i their actions, we've seen american surveillance planes flying overhead during some of these confrontations i think possibly in the back room with diplomatic support and that kind of thing. and i think that has given the philippines the courage to be a bit more confrontational with china. we have been talking earlier in the programme about the pacific island summit at the white house today and it is interesting veggie and ambassador on the programme committee wants to talk about climate change, loss and damage and of course, the white house wants to talk about their strategic interests in the region, what sort of rules do these pacific islands have to play in the struggle between the united

well, think all of these countries, whether they are pacific islands or south east asian countries had at the philippines, they want to be taken seriously on the philippines, they want to be taken seriously o— taken seriously on their own accounts- — taken seriously on their own accounts. they _ taken seriously on their own accounts. they don't - taken seriously on their own accounts. they don't want i taken seriously on their own | accounts. they don't want to taken seriously on their own - accounts. they don't want to be ponds in a game between the us and china. in many ways, the sort china means these countries have a lot more leverage than they used to. —— they don't want to be pawns. they can play off each other and get some extra aid, military support, whatever it might be. they definitely don't want to be caught in some kind of great power confrontation, where they are the battleground. so it's a mixture of opportunities and risks for these countries, and i think the problem with the us strategy of prioritising a military approach is it mrs out on all of those other things that countries value. i think what has been taking quite a lot of time for the us to try to learn is a test to be a full—spectrum engagement, like china offers many of them. whether it be agriculture or health or university education, whatever it

is. as well as these geostrategic levers on either side.— levers on either side. very interesting. _ levers on either side. very interesting. thank - levers on either side. very interesting. thank you - levers on either side. very | interesting. thank you very levers on either side. very - interesting. thank you very much levers on either side. very interesting. thank you very much for coming on. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. bbc news — bringing you different stories from across the uk. - here in swindon, the council and police are trying a new way of intervening early with teenagers identified by social services. at the public leisure centres, like here at the link centre in west swindon, they're giving out six month gym memberships. so we identified a real challenge for some of our most vulnerable children in swindon. and one of the issues is often we get to them too late. we really wanted to work differently and identify those children at risk of substance misuse, at risk of the substance misuse of their parents, and try to find interventions that fundamentally change how they think and feel about themselves. they have funding for 400 of these passes.

the money comes from the confiscated proceeds of illegal drugs crime. it's one of the first councils outside of london to try this new approach to solving a growing problem. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. - you're live with bbc news. there are thousands of ethnic armenians trying to leave the region of nagorno karabakh, after azerbaijan took control of the disputed territory last week. eyewitnesses say the roads leading towards the armenian border, are jammed with cars. armenia reckons around 6,650 people have crossed the border so far. nagorno—karabakh lies in the mountainous south caucasus region of eastern europe and asia. it's recognised internationally as part of azerbaijan, but has been controlled by ethnic armenians for three decades. nick beake from bbc verify has the latest. we're talking about one of the world's longest running conflicts. it's not often in the headlines, but now, once again, attention is on nagorno—karabakh, with warnings there could

be ethnic cleansing. in other words, forcing out an ethnic group from an area. now, have a look at this video from the past 24 hours. the people you can see here are the ones who have already left nagorno—karabakh. thousands have done this already. and the people you see here are ethnic armenians who have been living in the region. these pictures are from armenian television. now, to understand why this is happening, let'sjust step back and try and get our bearings, because we're talking about the south caucasus. basically where eastern europe meets asia. specifically the area between the black sea and the caspian sea. here, armenia. it's a country which is predominantly christian, azerbaijan, mainly muslim. they're both parts of what used to be the soviet union. and if we zoom in, you can see the territory we're talking about, nagorno—karabakh.

it's recognised internationally as being part of azerbaijan, but large areas of it have been controlled by ethnic armenians for three decades, and 120,000 ethnic armenians call it home. now, what has happened in the past week was that azerbaijan launched a military offensive in response to what it called provocations and quickly made gains. the operation, though, was condemned by the european union. the internet has been heavily restricted in nagorno—karabakh. but i want to show you one of the few videos that has emerged around the main city, stepa na kert. now you can see it's not exactly close up, but there is smoke in the distance. now, after this was taken, a peace deal was announced in which ethnic armenian forces would be disbanded and disarmed. but have a look at this image here. this is something that we've been taking a look at at bbc verify. and this is, again, actually within the city of stepanakert.

and you can see the big plume of thick smoke. this was from yesterday, even though a peace deal is supposed to be in place and we verified this looking at the outline of the mountains and also the shape and the colour of some of the buildings in the city itself. now, i want to show you this video here, because this is something that was taken showing people on the streets. you can see the traffic leaving nagorno—karabakh. this was actually filmed by the peacekeepers in the region. they're not from the united nations, they're from russia. and basically nagorno—karabakh, the people there have been told that they will be safe. that is the promise from azerbaijan. but armenian leaders are saying that they fear there will be ethnic cleansing. now we talk about peacekeepers, but actually it's the responsibility, some would say, of lots of people within the international community to protect the human rights and the lives of thousands of armenians, people who a week ago were living in their homes and now they're set to be uprooted. and there is a pressing concern about what may happen next.

neck mcpeak with an update on the azerbaijan situation. more on the website if you would like to beat that. —— read that. there are more than 11 million people here in the uk living with long—term health conditions — and of those only 7.4 million are in work. you might suppose that a lot of the unemployed are those nearing retirement. you'd be wrong. a new report revealed today the economically inactive are women and young men. long—term sickness in women across all age groups has been rising since 2014, and women are becoming economically inactive at a much higher rate than men. but the research also found another worrying statistic. there has been a dramatic increase in economic inactivity among men aged 16 to 24, with a particularly sharp increase in mental health issues. joining me now is nick pahl, who is ceo of the society of occupational medicine. did we know any of this before this report came out today? did we

suspect that there was such an economically inactive group under 24 is? ~ ~ ~ . is? well, i think we knew that there was, as is? well, i think we knew that there was. as he — is? well, i think we knew that there was. as he just _ is? well, i think we knew that there was, as he just sat _ is? well, i think we knew that there was, as he just sat in _ is? well, i think we knew that there was, as he just sat in terms of- is? well, i think we knew that there was, as he just sat in terms of the l was, as he just sat in terms of the inactivity level due to ill health has increased recently, but i suppose what this report looks at in detail is cutting the data in different ways. i suppose we didn't know so much the reasons underneath that. so i think what's interesting, say young men notjoining the workforce because of mental health, anxiety issues, so that is something that needs to be explored. in terms of the women aspect in terms of women being, not staying in the workforce, dropping out, why is that? is that because their carers are in those lower occupations? some of these myths like the great resignation actually hasn't happened and people are struggling in that 50—something age group, so ijust think this is an interesting cut of data looking at some of the underlying reasons. we know ill

health, nhs waiting lists a person having an unhealthy population with obesity, smoking, things like that. those are facts we know. it's just cutting the data in interesting ways. i suppose what we are saying is that government is taking it seriously, there's a consultation out for occupational health from the treasury and the government and that needs to be part of the autumn space that neck statement. i needs to be part of the autumn space that neck statement.— that neck statement. i was going to ask ou that neck statement. i was going to ask you what _ that neck statement. i was going to ask you what is _ that neck statement. i was going to ask you what is the _ that neck statement. i was going to ask you what is the message - that neck statement. i was going to ask you what is the message for - that neck statement. i was going to | ask you what is the message for the treasury? because if you have so many people who are in active in any economy where labour is so badly needed, the cost of the nhs or the money you are putting into the nhs is a much greater cost for the economy at large, isn't that? it is. they return _ economy at large, isn't that? it is. they return to _ economy at large, isn't that? it is. they return to investments - economy at large, isn't that? it 3 they return to investments how people stay at work. drop to work and get back to work quickly. the investment to and prevent people from staying in work is enormous. i suppose occupational health, we would say helps people stay at work,

if you have incentives for businesses to use occupational health, if you can use, gps often struggle due to lack of time, so people don't necessarily get the support to get back into work. so all these measures i think the government are looking at and we would just like them to go further and faster. if the economy is a key measure for a successful election, then this is an area they need to get right. then this is an area they need to net riuht. ., . ., . get right. how much of the evidence su: rested get right. how much of the evidence suggested there _ get right. how much of the evidence suggested there was _ get right. how much of the evidence suggested there was a _ get right. how much of the evidence suggested there was a problem - suggested there was a problem through the pandemic? when you are talking about under 24—year—old man who have problems with mental health issues, it stands to reason, doesn't it that some of those developed to the years of lockdown. yes. it that some of those developed to the years of lockdown.— the years of lockdown. yes, it is something _ the years of lockdown. yes, it is something that _ the years of lockdown. yes, it is something that has _ the years of lockdown. yes, it is something that has definitely i something that has definitely happened during the pandemic. actually before the pandemic the uk activity rate were really good compared to other rich countries, and now they have dropped down to

the bottom. so why is that? it must be due to things like mental health and there has definitely been a shift there and you've seen all the curves going in the wrong direction when we were in quite a good place before the pandemic. internationally ou are before the pandemic. internationally you are saying _ before the pandemic. internationally you are saying we — before the pandemic. internationally you are saying we are _ before the pandemic. internationally you are saying we are now— before the pandemic. internationally. you are saying we are now performing much worse than other g7 economies? no, we are. in a suppose one of the things can come back to this government consultation, looking at what is happening in other countries, can we learn from them? other countries do have occupational health over in the netherlands have a return to work plan to help people if they are sick to return to work. all countries are struggling with their health systems, the nhs obviously is too. in terms of intervention. when they've got a health issue, i think we could definitely do better. does this fall on the national health service? or can the government target money in different directions to get back to

work? and players need to step up from a bigger and players to have occupational health, it's a question of whether they really should have to do that. the health and safety executive could support players in their response ability there. you think about a small business, if you are window cleaner, you are not necessarily going to have occupational health and other needs to be better supported. there needs to be better supported. there needs to be better supported. there needs to be that tie up people like work coaches with health staff if we can get health and the work and pensions, then... then the window cleaners as well should get some sort of extra support. we would like to see that. sort of extra support. we would like to see that-— to see that. very interesting, the stud that to see that. very interesting, the study that has — to see that. very interesting, the study that has lots _ to see that. very interesting, the study that has lots of _ to see that. very interesting, the| study that has lots of implications for the uk economy. thank you very much for coming out to the programme. we are going to take a short break. our panel will be with us at the top of the next hour. we are going to talk about donald trump who is on its feet in south carolina

at the moment, had some very interesting pulling in the american election race. stay with us. —— interesting polling in the american election race. hello there. it was a fine day today. many places stayed dry, a good deal of sunshine around. however, as we move deeper into this week, things will start to turn more unsettled, and by mid—week, we could see a stormy spell of weather with rain and gales. tonight, most places will be dry, but we'll start to see some showers pushing into southern areas, courtesy of this weather front, and across western areas thanks to this weather front. so, many places dry this evening and overnight, variable cloud. more of a breeze out west. by the end of the night, some showers start to push into southern england. some rain getting in towards western parts of northern ireland, but nowhere particularly cold. pretty mild with double—figure values across the board. now, we have more isobars on the charts tomorrow, so there will be more of a breeze. and we'll have these weather fronts in the mix as well. these weather fronts across the south will bring a scattering of showers through the morning for england and wales.

some of these could be heavy and thundery as they push northwards, and this front will bring outbreaks of rain to northern ireland. that's spreading across scotland into the afternoon, but there'll still be some good spells of sunshine around for the afternoon, pushing temperatures again up to around 23 degrees in the south—east. otherwise, it's the mid—to—high teens further north. the showers eventually peter out across the northern half of the country through tuesday night. it turns clearer with lighter winds, so a cooler night to come across the northern half of the uk. whereas further south, the winds start to pick up again with increasing cloud, so it'll start to turn milder once again. the reason for it is this — storm agnes, named by the met office. that's going to impact our shores on wednesday to bring a swathe of rain and gales, particularly across western areas. now, the storm will continue to move northwards, affecting the western half of the country during the course of wednesday, and eventually it'll bring some windy weather to scotland later in the day. but we're looking at 60—70 mph winds around some irish sea coasts, maybe more than that in exposed headlands, and then 50—60 across the north.

in addition to that, heavy rain will spill northwards across northern ireland, south—west england, wales, the isle of and man, then pushing up in towards scotland. but it could be the eastern side of the country, although it'll stay windy and cloudy, it could stay dry altogether. top temperatures around 21 degrees here. otherwise, it's the mid—teens further west with the rain and gales. the rain slowly pulls away on thursday. increasing amounts of sunshine as we head into friday, and the weekend at this stage doesn't look too bad. see you later.
