but a much needed century stand between jo root and jo denley, both of them reaching their half centurieslongside ben stokes and you feel that while he is still there, england still have a chance. headingley of course had seen some famous ashes comebacks. think back to 1981 when england came back from following on that century from ian botham, eight wickets for bob willis, could they produce something special here on the fourth day? well, the england fans here will be hoping that they can pull off another cricketing miracle. liverpool opened up a three—point gap at the top of the premier league with a 3—1win over arsenal at anfield. mo salah scored twice in a dominant performance from jurgen klopp's side which sees them maintain their 100 percent start to the season. substitute lucas torreira pulled one back late on for arsenal, but nothing was getting in the way of liverpool's 12th successive premier league victory. there was a big upset earlier in the day with crystal palace beating manchester united for the first time in the premier league. patrick van aanholt scored in injury time at

let's speak to the leader of the liberal democrats, jo swinsonjoins us jo swinson joins us now. what do you wa nt joe potential actions that could make sure that that is a reality, i think the first and most important thing is that we agree that we should pass legislation to require the government to extend article 50. i would like that to be for the purpose of holding a people's vote. secondly, if we end up in the scenario of a vote of no confidence, and a general election, it is hugely important that there is a agreement that such an election would give the people, the public the chance to choose and therefore it would have to be either before 31st october or come with an extension to article 50, and then finally, if we are on the verge of crashing out without a deal, and all else has failed we need to be prepared to revoke article 50, because in 2019, we should not have the situation where british government policy leads to food and medicine shortages. so you are clear, about your party's message. let us talk about, and you talk about the various different ways of getting it. let us talk about if

jo ann who was three years older. i found jo ann, who has never talked before. and if you get a chance to look in the book you'll see that the photograph section shows pictures of him from his baby pictures and his wedding am baby pictures -- wedding album. they come from his sisters. they tell the real story. here is an interesting one jo ann told me about charlie. say, from the time he came to live with them five years old, he's scary. he's violent, he lies about everything. the first person he ever physically attacked was jo ann. he picked up a sickle in the backyard and tried to stab her. her parents stopped him. his explanation she made me do it. it wasn't my fault, she's older than me. i was defending myself. in first grade, not only told to me by joann, but corroborated by other people who were in school with manson at the time, first grade, he organized some girls in his class to beat up a boy he doesn't like. the principal comes looking for charlie. his explanation? the girls were doing what they wanted to do out of their own -- that's what they wanted. you can't blame me. the same defense he uses all the years later with tate. his mother gets out of jail, she wants her son back. and they live in a number of places where, no, there are no uncles coming in all the time. but charles becomes an incorrigible cutter

jo swinson plan, question. we have a corbyn plan and ajo swinson plan, are either going to work? it is difficult, jo swinson says she does not thinkjeremy corbyn could get a significant support from his mps to get it to work. jeremy corbyn says he is disappointed to hear that and you can win heraround.jo disappointed to hear that and you can win her around. joriet harman, both of whom she said would be willing to fulfil that role of interim prime minister if they were called upon to do so. jeremy corbyn says no, i am leader of the opposition, if there is a va ca ncy of the opposition, if there is a vacancy it should be me. it is not justjo swinson who has reservations aboutjeremy justjo swinson who has reservations about jeremy corbyn. justjo swinson who has reservations aboutjeremy corbyn. for justjo swinson who has reservations about jeremy corbyn. for example g reaves about jeremy corbyn. for example greaves says jeremy corbyn about jeremy corbyn. for example greaves sasteremy corbyn is a deeply divisive figure and whilst he wa nts to deeply divisive figure and whilst he wants to stop brexit, he does not wa nt to wants to stop brexit, he does not want to help him into number ten. interestingly, we have heard from labour sources that while jeremy corbyn is proposing a vote of no—confidence in boris johnson corbyn is proposing a vote of no

jo swinson that they are not queueing up swinson that they are not queueing up tojoin the swinson that they are not queueing up to join the plan. that's absolutely right. jo swinson making the point that she does not believe thatjeremy corbyn the point that she does not believe that jeremy corbyn frankly the point that she does not believe thatjeremy corbyn frankly has the numbers needed in the house of commons to do what he is suggesting. this has all come about because borisjohnson has this has all come about because boris johnson has made this has all come about because borisjohnson has made it absolutely crystal clear since it became prime minister a couple of weeks ago that, come what may, at the end of 0ctober, britain will leave the eu with or without a deal and there is a big constituency of mps in the house of commons who are opposed to that hammock —— happening from gci’oss that hammock —— happening from across all of the parties. and so the problem they have is that they are talking about trying to call a vote of no confidence to stop boris johnson from leaving without a deal, but if they do that in a general election follows, boris johnson but if they do that in a general election follows, borisjohnson is the man who can set the date of the election and he could set that in november after potentially a no—deal brexit has already happened. so if a vote of no confidence was held and they won it, they would have to form an alternative administration and thatis an alternative administration and that is whatjeremy corbyn is talking about and that is why he has written the letter today essentially saying that if we are going to do this by, as the leader of the 0pposition, the man in parliament with the second largest number of mps behind me and the man who should be in that position. the proposal, as you say is you go to the european union, agree a delay to the brexit deadline and then hold a general election. this is what the shadow business secretary had to say about that proposal a little earlier. we have attempted over the last two years to compromise, even holding discussions with the government to try and find a compromise deal, but unfortunately we are in the situation that we're in now and we are running out of time. unless we collaborate on a cross—party basis — and that's why i'm calling on opposition parties and backbench mps to support jeremy's letter — we could be in a position where we do leave the european union without a deal. so we've already heard from jo what about the other parties? both the welsh nationalists and scottish nationalists have welcomed the idea but only very cautiously, certainly not enthusiastically. the green party are saying that while they support the principle, they don't support the principle, they don't support the timetable that jeremy the principle, they don't support the timetable thatjeremy corbyn is talking about. they say there should bea talking about. they say there should be a referendum, another referendum on whether or not brexit should happen before any subsequent general election. we do know that there are lots of mps in parliament opposed to a no—deal brexit, but getting them to agree on how to stop a no deal from happening is a very different story. tom, thank you very much. bronwen maddox is director of the institute for government and joins me now. thanks for being with us. we heard about some of the political fallout on the argy—bargy and horse trading that would have to happen, but let's pull t

jo swinson says both of them have the experience and would get cross—party support. what's new today is we have heard from jo swinson, who has said she has spoken to both harriet harman and ken clarke about whether they would step in as an emergency government. we heard from her earlier on the today programme on radio four. you suggested someone else ought to take leadership of this government. somebody you have suggested, like ken clarke or harriet harman. have you actually asked either of them if they would be prepared to do it? yeah, i have been in touch with them, because obviously you don'tjust mention people's names without checking that they are ok with that. i mean, both of those are long serving members of parliament, the most experienced mps in the house, the father and mother of the house, as they are called in the house of commons. and did they actually say to you that they were prepared to lead a government of national unity? yeah....they... they put public duty first. they don't want to see a no—deal brexit and if the house of commons asks them to lead an emergency government to get our country out of this brexit mess and to stop us driving off that cliff to a no deal, then, yes, they are prepared to do that, and i think that's to their credit. leader of the liberal democratsjo swinson speaking to radio four earlier today. we have not had any confirmation that harriet harman or ken clarke would agree to that situation. you have to ask how effective this will be. we have opposition parties not agreeing at this stage and not being able to compromise on how they would be able to stop a no—deal brexit. we are in the middle of august. that date of 0ctober the middle of august. that date of october 31 is looming ever closer and they could end upjust continuing to debate and nothing gets done. another story that is unfolding through this morning. turkey's military pension fund has reached a tentative deal to buy british steel. 0yak said it plans to take over the firm, which was put into complusory liquidation in ma, by the end of the year. british steel, which owns the scunthorpe steel works where 3,000 people work, was in rescue talks with the government, but they broke down. our business editor simon jack joins me now. what do we know? british steel has been run by the official receiver since it was liquidated in may. in total there are a500 workers there whose future has been in doubt. during that period, the official receiver has been sifting through a number of bids through all or part of the company. they have decided that the best bid in their view is one from the turkish military pension fund. government sources working on this deal up until recently said it has been for some time been considered head and shoulders the best deal. this will mean there will now be exclusive talks, they will have exclusive access to the company, its books, and they will do their process of due diligence. at the end of which we hope, it is not guaranteed, but they will buy the company out of liquidation. a package of government support is being made available, 700 million in loan guarantees. this is being tentatively welcomed by unions and british steel themselves, saying it looks like they have now got a future. it is quite interesting, a turkish military pension fund, you might think that seems odd and yes it is, but they also have things like joint it is, but they also have things likejoint ventures it is, but they also have things like joint ventures with renault, they own car production plants. it's a big investment fund so they have plenty of money. they also own 50% of turkey's biggest steel producer and it's thought the two plants could be quite complimentary so people are relatively positive about it today. as part of the bid, how much information does a firm have to give about their plans, investment and jobs and so on? they have to give a and jobs and so on? they have to giveafairamount and jobs and so on? they have to give a fair amount and it's on that basis of this bid was considered superior, not only because they have the most financial muscle of the bidders looking at this, but it's thought the turkish plan involved the fewest redundancies and the most production ramp up. on that basis, they will get more investment in the company from this turkish bid, fewer redundancies. they have plenty of financial firepower. it is quite odd that it's a military pension fund, which supplements pensions and makes loa ns which supplements pensions and makes loans available for veterans of the turkish armed forces, but they said to think of us like the ontario teachers fund, which owns big things like hs one. it's a big financial fund, invests for the long term, and it has the nod to go ahead. not guaranteed, but i think it is being welcomed this morning. as a final thought, how much of a challenge will it be because it has been a rocky road for british steel, so are they taking on something that is quite tough? you are right to say it isa quite tough? you are right to say it is a tough time for the steel industry. we have seen steel prices colla pse industry. we have seen steel prices collapse since 2016 but they have come back a little bit since then. there are issues about the economics of making steel. cheap steel coming in from china. you have very high energy costs and business rates here make it challenging. i would expect the government to look at a package of support that is not just labour guarantees but to see if they can do anything on energy costs and put it onafirm anything on energy costs and put it on a firm footing. but certainly a500 workers in and around scunthorpe will be breathing a sigh of relief. it's not guaranteed, but it's looking positive. simon jack, thank you. the family of a lawyer who was stabbed to death with a screwdriver outside a busy shopping centre in newcastle have described him as "a kind and caring man who

widespread disruption a week ago. it's expected to give more information about exactly what happened but is unlikely to offer much insight into why certain services like trains were so badly affected. theo legget reports. trains stopped, passengers were left stranded, and railway stations were in chaos. nearly a million homes were plunged into darkness across the country, and traffic control systems stopped working as well. national grid says last week's power system failure was exceptional. today's initial report is expected to provide more detail about exactly what happened, and when. we already know what triggered the blackouts. first, this power station in bedfordshire developed a problem and disconnected itself from the grid. at almost the same time, a wind farm in the north sea also went offline. that created instability in the grid, and triggered an automatic 5% cut in supplies. within seven minutes, new sources of power had been brought in, and the system was running normally again. but, across the country, disruption lasted for hours. 0fgem will want to know why the knock—on effects were so severe, and why critical infrastructure such as railways and hospitals, like this one in ipswich, lost power. normally, their supplieswould be protected. some experts believe the growth of renewable energy sources has made the electricity grid more difficult to manage, while critics say a lack of investment has left it more vulnerable to serious failures. today's report is unlikely to provide comprehensive answers. investigations including a separate government inquiry will take weeks. but answers will eventually be needed, because it's clear that something, somewhere, went very badly wrong. theo leggett, bbc news. i'm joined now by david hunter, director of market studies at energy management firm schneider electric. thank you for being with us. a lot of whys to uncover. indeed. we know what happened and now we are waiting to understand why it happened and also the lessons we can learn for the future as a result. what are some of the main concerns? it seems like this idea of the automatic load shedding somehow may have gone wrong in that it ended up with quite critical services being affected and presumably the idea normally is that if there is any shortage of power, people who don't matter get affected rather than important railway services and in this case a hospital. from the national grid perspective, it's challenging to manage these managed outages to local areas and maintain frequently across the same level across the grid but you are absolutely right, we have to look at situations where critical infrastructure was obstructed, but we have to understand this was a very rare event that last happened 11 years ago. it isn't very common. but secondly, you mentioned hospitals for example, it's really important to those hospitals have resilience plans and back—up generation power stations that they do. we learned from last week, we need to make sure they work absolutely as planned so they work absolutely as planned so they can provide uninterrupted power services and secure power to critical infrastructure. obviously an opportunity for lots of different organisations to look at how they are supplied with power. my understanding is, if there is this shortfall of power then there is in the first place meant to be some sort of reserve that the grid can draw on. why do you think that didn't happen in this case? we are still waiting to find out the detail, but you are right in that there are a number of tools in the national grid's box to dip into for reserve power and that obviously came back relatively quickly, but not quick enough to prevent these blackouts. what's unusual about this, the fact that two power stations, almost 1.5 gigawatts of power reduced within seconds of each other and that's a lot of power to make up quickly. we have to remember, if that back—up power is to be always available, it comes with significant cost. the other thing to bear in mind, in the future, energy will continue to decarbonise and become cleaner, and decentralise and digitise as well so the future of energy will be less national grid top—down, a reduced reliance on that aspect, but more from the consumer up, potentially looking at electric vehicles, energy storage in batteries and the potential for those to provide energy to the grid in emergency situations and we need to look into investing in that as the digitisation and demand—side, the two—way nature of the future demand. and there have been concerns around renewables, the fact we are moving to wind and solar power. in a way that's great, but it's all intermittent sources of energy and that has its own issues. we have to remember how rare an event this was. there is no indication that it was specifically a wind —related issue. a wind power station went off—line, but so did a fossil fuel power station. you are right that wind and solar, if the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine, their intermittent nature, we need to make up intermittent nature, we need to make upfor intermittent nature, we need to make up for these variations. but so far we are doing a pretty good job because that's already a feature. we have a lot of wind and solar already in the system but it will be an ongoing challenge to make sure we can keep energy secure as these intermittent sources increase in the energy mix. as i mentioned, technology, demand response and energy storage are technology, demand response and energy storage are some technology, demand response and energy storage are some of the ways we will seek to do that. david hunter, thank you very much indeed. we are expecting that initial report from the national grid by the end of the day. a man from surrey has admitted trying to murder a bulgarian teenager in what prosecutors are calling a ‘far right terrorist incident‘. vincent fuller pleaded guilty to two offences at kingston crown court after he attacked 19 year old, dimitar mihaylov in march. mr fuller told his victim ‘you are going to die' before stabbing him in the hand and neck. he denied it was a terrorist act but accepted it was racially motivated. our correspondent richard galpin is outside kingston crown court where the trial is taking place. what has the court been hearing? 0bviously what has the court been hearing? obviously a very important hearing. the prosecution are saying this was afar right the prosecution are saying this was a far right terrorist incident and they want him to be prosecuted for terrorism, which would entail a very severe prison sentence if he were to be found guilty of that. vincent fuller denies it was an act of terrorism but admits racially aggravated harassment, alarm or distress. this attack took place literally the day after the horrific attacks in new zealand by a far right extremist man in which 51 muslims were killed in new zealand in several mosques in the area. we heard that vincent fuller, in a facebook posting, had said, i agree with what the gunman did in new zealand. during this attack in sta nwell in march, zealand. during this attack in stanwell in march, fuller also is said to have been heard shouting, white supremacy rules, and i am going to kill muslims. this is why the prosecution are trying to bring a terrorist charge against him, because it seems that there is an alleged political motivation. he also, before stabbing mr mihaylov, went out with a baseball bat and threatened a neighbour of south asian descent. he then went down smashing cars and we understand he broke the baseball bat, went back to his home, got a knife and then came back out, which is when the stabbing ofa back out, which is when the stabbing of a bulgarian teenager, who had been sitting in his car in a tesco car park, that's when the stabbing took place. he was stabbed in the hand and mr mihaylov also had a cut to his neck. the next hearing will be sentencing, and that will be on fifth september. richard galpin at kingston crown court, thank you. hundreds of chinese military personnel have gathered at a sports stadium in the city of shenzen, just across the border

it happened last night as pc andrew harper was attending reports of a burglary near to the aa between reading and newbury. we are trying to show you some aerial pictures of the scene where that happened. but unfortunately we are having some technical problems. we have had a statement from thames valley police who say they have made a total of ten arrests in connection with the incident. those arrested are currently in police custody. they are all male and aged between 13 and 30. this is the scene, and according to information from thames valley police, the incident happened ata valley police, the incident happened at a crossroads. let's speak to charlotte winfield who's in sulhamstead where the incident happened. remind us what we know about the incident. so far we know thames valley police have launched a murder investigation after a thames valley police officer died following an incident where i am now, last night at around incident where i am now, last night ataround11:30pm. incident where i am now, last night at around 11:30pm. it is at a crossroads along a really busy road, the aa that joins crossroads along a really busy road, the aa thatjoins reading and newbury. there are constantly cars and lorries going up and down here at all hours of the day. we know pc andrew harper was sadly killed when he was attending a reported burglary. he was based at the abingdon police station. he was here attending a reported burglary. there isa attending a reported burglary. there is a scene watch still in place and both of the route roads off the aa have been closed but the aa itself has reopened. in the last few moments additional police vehicles have turned up, i have seen forensics coming and going from the site as well. there are police at both ends of the road stopping anyone coming and going from the area. people are stopping and looking and are concerned about what happened here. thames valley police we know have made some arrests. they have. ten people have been arrested after this happened, arrested on suspicion of murder and they are currently in custody at various police stations across the thames valley. a statement from the police, their deepest thoughts at this time with andrew's friends and family, who are being supported by specially trained family liaison officers. and this is their colleague as well, so all of those colleagues will be supporting each other at a difficult time. the police are now stopping cars, pulling them up onto the lay—by. people are stopping to ask questions as well. people are clearly concerned and there are more offices going down to the cordoned offices going down to the cordoned off area at the moment. i notice from the statement from thames valley police that they are appealing for witnesses. it was a busy area. 11:30pm at night. it's quite possible there would have been people driving past at around this time because it is a busy area. they are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident to get in touch and if anyone has any information at all, no matter how insignificant it might seem, to get in touch and help with the investigation. the information around the incident is a little sketchy at the moment. remind us what we know, pc andrew harper was attending a reported burglary.- the moment, the information around what has happened is very limited. we understand it is a murder investigation and that's after pc andrew harper was attending a reported burglary and they say he was killed whilst performing his duty but they have given no information on how that happened or how the incident occurred. charlotte winfield, thank you. we will bring you more on that as it unfolds. the headlines in a moment but now the weather with simon. the weekend looking promising for many of us but before we get there we have heavy rain across many parts of the uk. we can see from the earlier rainfall radar, this mass of blue moving from west to east. the rain not quite with you yet. in east anglia and the south—east it will push in after lunchtime and the rain heavy around lunchtime especially around south—west england, wales and the midlands. green is indicative of heavier rain forced up clear in northern ireland and scotland, but windy for all of us. the potential for gusts of 50 mph around the coasts. highest temperatures likely in northern ireland, 22 celsius. elsewhere disappointing with the wind and rain. through this evening, the rain still with you over the east, but finally clearing away through saturday. a few showers across northern and western parts of the uk over saturday and sunday but for many, dry with some sunshine. 0ne for many, dry with some sunshine. one thing to note, it will still be quite windy on both days with high gusts of wind. hello, this is bbc newsroom live. the headlines: a murder investigation is launched after a thames valley police officer dies following an incident in berkshire. a provisional

hope at the end of the day, however, when stuart broad took the big wicket of david warner. and now they need to keep up the momentum. 0ur sports correspondentjoe wilson joins us now from lord's. what is the feeling like there this morning? i would say the feeling is murky and chilly and currently i'm trying to ignore those drops of drizzle which i think are falling from the sky. we are not sure how much play we will get today. at the moment, the floodlights are in full effect, and that normally is the conditions which really favour the bowlers, the red ball tends to move around in these atmospheric conditions. so for we have seen jofra archer bowling and stuart broad bully, chris woakes having a go but no wickets so far for england. khawaja and bancroft are resisting for australia. steve smith still to come. as they go past 60, 70, as the morning progresses, england's lead is already below 200 and —— 200. one point to finish with, somebody in the crowd today brought with them a life—size cutout model ofjames brought with them a life—size cutout model of james anderson. these brought with them a life—size cutout model ofjames anderson. these are exactly the conditions when england's captain would love to have the most successful bowler here in the most successful bowler here in the flesh. i like that picture! i am going to try and find out about that. you can also follow the action with a test match special crew. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. andy murray will meet his brother jamie in the quarterfinals of the men's doubles at the cincinnati masters this evening. it's

i'll have more for you in the next hour. more now on the news that turkey's military pension fund has reached a tentative deal to buy british steel. 0yak said it plans to take over the firm, which was put into complusory liquidation in may, by the end of the year. joining me now to talk about this is harish patel, national officer for steel at unite the union. thank you for being with us. what do you make of this news?” thank you for being with us. what do you make of this news? i think it is welcome news, at least a relief for all of our members in the workforce particularly employed at british steel but this is the beginning of a process in terms of, we too haven't reached the end mark foster obviously discussions will continue to secure a sustainable future for the steel industry. what would be the steel industry. what would be the input of unite? what are you hoping to hear the future plans? we wa nt to hoping to hear the future plans? we want to look at the business plan and the long term business plan with the company and how they plan to put investment into scu nthorpe the company and how they plan to put investment into scunthorpe and our other sites. that is key in terms of our involvement and also looking at the government to ensure they look ata the government to ensure they look at a level playing field in terms of energy costs, business rates, and indeed an additional strategy, which with brexit coming up, we don't want to be ina with brexit coming up, we don't want to be in a situation where steel would be uncompetitive. how hopeful are you that the british government has plans to hear what you're saying and perhaps take action on some of those issues? so far they have made positive noises. the little bit they have done is very positive. we hope that dialogue will continue in the input from the government will continue. we have to ensure we have a sustainable future for the steel industry in the uk. mentioned when it became apparent that it was a turkish company that was interested in taking over british steel that although it was welcome, you said you would be watching closely, speaking with the turkish unions, giving the racket of the country for oppression. do you have any concerns on that front? that is yet to come as far as we are concerned. at this moment we welcomed the news, it has lifted a burden on our members in terms of security, at least going forward. each step, we look forward with confidence. we have to make sure we have a sustainable steel industry. as to the politics in turkey, that is a separate matter. we wa nt turkey, that is a separate matter. we want to build a positive relationship with the new owners in the uk for the sustainability of the steel industry in the uk. and give us steel industry in the uk. and give usa steel industry in the uk. and give us a sense steel industry in the uk. and give us a sense of what this news will happen to workers who no doubt will have been concerned about the possible future of their jobs. have been concerned about the possible future of theirjobslj think it's very welcome, all the workers have been really positive so farand workers have been really positive so far and this has lifted a lot of the burden on the shoulders. at least it shows there is a future there and it is about working to make sure we work together to create a sustainable industry, which is profitable for the uk steel industry. thank you very much indeed. a civil rights group has warned the use of facial recognition systems in public places across the uk has reached ‘epidemic‘ levels. ‘big brother watch‘ says the technology, which can scan people's faces in crowds, comparing them with databases of criminals, is a threat to privacy. we are nowjoined by silkie carlo, the director of civil liberty group big brother watch. tell us more about how widely you believe the systems are being used. it seems to be all over the place. shopping centres, even museums, conference centres, casinos, and king's cross, as was found last week. lots of spaces that millions of people go through all the time. they are having their photo taken, their identities checked, their data being taken, don't know what's happening with that data, and this is all happening without us knowing about it. i think it is really important information we are putting out today, that the important thing that needs to happen next is action needs to be taking. we are urging the government to urgently put in place a ban on this technology. the government to urgently put in place a ban on this technologym that a ban for the foreseeable future, just while you feel that questions are asked and there is a debate to be had? i think there is a really immediate, pressing issue about putting in place a ban right now because people's rights are being eroded and there isn't a legal framework so it is happening in a com plete framework so it is happening in a complete vacuum. with police uses of facial recognition we have witnessed innocent people being stopped, asked to present id, having their photos put on databases, and in the context of what is happening in the private sector with shopping centres and so on, part of the problem is getting the information. we don't know who is collecting the data, where it is going, what is happening with the photographs, and this is affecting probably tens of millions of people in britain. what is your understanding of the moment of what organisations want to use that technology and what they have to do? there is a suggestion from the information commissioner that there is law in place and that organisations have to comply with it inafair, organisations have to comply with it in a fair, transparent and accountable way, do you dispute that is happening? i think there is a grey area here. there are ministers who have said in parliament this is happening without a legal framework. data regulation is part of the picture. it is certainly not the whole picture. this is a much bigger issue that affects people's rights. it affects our liberties. normally ina it affects our liberties. normally in a democracy we don't expect our identity to be checked for no good reason for stock certainly do not expect mass surveillance of millions of people, which is what is happening. it is certainly something that needs a much bigger consideration and parliamentary decision making and we hope ultimately a ban, because really in no other democracy do we see facial recognition surveillance being used, only really in china do we see that only really in china do we see that on the same scale as happening in britain. there will be people who say given the terrorist threat that we live under in this modern age and so on, there is a case to allow police for example to use all means at their disposal to try and pick people out of a crowd at a busy arena, much arena or a big event, where there is a risk to public safety —— manchester arena, or may be people who have in —— ill intent ina be people who have in —— ill intent in a crowd. we all want security but i don't gwee want to be a security state. that's what this technology risks doing. we are notjust talking about tracking people suspected of crime, we are talking about tracking millions of people at one time. that's just not fitting in a democracy, it needs to stop. thanks for your time. in democracy, it needs to stop. thanks foryourtime. ina democracy, it needs to stop. thanks foryourtime. in a moment, all the business news. first, the headlines. a murder investigation is launched after a thames valley police officer dies following an incident in berkshire. a provisional dealfor berkshire. a provisional deal for the takeover of british steel has been reached with turkey's military pension fund. a man from surrey admits trying to murder a bulgarian teenager in what is being described as a far—right terrorist incident. good morning. in the business news... turbulent times for cathay pacific. its british born chief executive, rupert hogg, has resigned in the wake of the protests in hong kong. more in a moment. trading in the biggest shares listed on the london stock exchange was delayed for more than an hour, in the longest outage in more than eight years. shares in the ftse100 and ftse 250 indexes were affected, although smaller stocks traded as normal at 08:00. trading resumed at 09:a0 — the longest closure since february 2011, when it was shut for more than four hours. a blow to debenhams today — ted baker has announced it's ending its partnership to sell child ren's clothing through debenhams and is switching to next. it has signed a five—year deal with next, who will "create and sell" ted baker—branded clothes, shoes and accessories for babies and children. changes at the top for cathay pacific. the chief executive of cathay pacific, rupert hogg, has resigned in the wake of the protests in hong kong. paul loo is also leaving as chief customer and commercial officer. mr hogg warned on monday staff could be fired if they "support or participate in illegal protests" in hong kong. karishma vaswani is our asia business correspondent — she joins us from singapore. first, give us the background to all of this. well, this has come as a real shock for the aviation industry, because rupert hogg was widely seen as the man that turned the fortunes of the airline around. he is seen as a steady pair of hands. but the airline itself has become very complicated situation for the airline the last few weeks with the protests, the pro—democracy protests taking place in hong kong. initially, the airline had said it would not stop its staff from participating in these protests, but it had to backtrack on that policy decision after getting pressure from beijing, from the chinese civil aviation authorities, who had ordered cathay pacific to crack down on any of its staff who were found to be participating in these protests so as a result, mr hogg then said anyone who did do that would be fired and would be suspended, they eventually did end up suspended, they eventually did end upfiring suspended, they eventually did end up firing several of their staff members for their parts in the protest. but the resignation has come as a result of what cathay pacific has called a sensitive time, and ina pacific has called a sensitive time, and in a statement accompanying the decision to resign, mr hogg has said that he has to take responsibility for what had been challenging weeks at the airline and in hong kong. and this comes at a very difficult time for hong kong, and itjust shows us how business and politics doesn't mix? absolutely, and i think increasingly, what you are seeing is just how much pressure beijing can exert on corporate hong kong. hong kong was always seen as the gateway to china, it is where most chinese companies go to raise funds, on the hong kong stock exchange, but increasingly, that relationship has turned the other way around. hong kong now depends on the mainland for much of its business. cathay pacific isa much of its business. cathay pacific is a great example of that. about a fifth of its seats are filled up by mainland chinese tourists. there was a backlash from china against the airline on chinese social media because of what many in the mainland saw as a betrayal by staff members at cathay pacific, who participated in these protests. i think itjust underlines how delicate the position for many companies based in hong kong is as they try and navigate this sensitive time. thank you very much. as an island nation, britain has had a rich maritime history but now it's hoping to be at the forefront of maritime future, developing self—driving ships. adrian bradley has been to the south west of england to find out more. plymouth is a city with hundreds of yea rs of plymouth is a city with hundreds of years of maritime history. from the mayflower to this autonomous minesweeper, it is one of five parts of the uk aiming to unlock up to £100 million a year of investment. we are creating clusters of businesses, academia and local, to run the country in places like the southwest. we want to do that across the whole country, we need government support to help do that quicker and faster. this defence contractor is turning plymouth into a world centre for marine autonomy. here, they are testing autonomous minesweepers and submersibles so that they can keep naval personnel away from dangerous environments. what they are hoping is to see more projects like this were big defence contractors can work with british companies and the royal navy to take crude submersibles like this and make them or thomas, taking people out of harm's with stop maritime uk hope that by creating regional hubs they can get the skills and the expertise and bring industry together to make this happen. what we have given the plymouth region is a place we can explore and test unmanned systems at sea and it has allowed us to bring in local enterprises, clusters, academia or look at together to make sure the best capability is delivered for our forces. the uk government recently announced a £75 million investment in autonomous mine hunting technology. like the vessels being tested in plymouth. the industry wa nts tested in plymouth. the industry wants this to be just the start. it is this plant to coordinate efforts that can help the country with its rich maritime history build a blue economy for the future. let's take a look at the markets before we go. we have had a bit of an interesting day for the london market. trading in the biggest shares listed on the london stock exchange was delayed for more than an hour, in the longest outage in more than eight years. shares in the ftse100 and ftse 250 indexes were affected, although smaller stocks traded as normal at 08:00. the lse said trading was delayed while it investigated a "potential trading services issue". the ftse100 is still upjust the ftse100 is still up just 0.5%. so, there is something technical that went wrong when —— with the system. more from my colleaguejamie throughout the afternoon. north korea has fired two missiles into the sea, according to the south korean notary. pyongyang has released a statement saying it has no intention of sitting down for talks with south korea again. let's talks with south korea again. let's talk to a senior lecturer in north korean studies. thanks so much for being with us. why this ramping up of tension is now? so, today's missile test was something north korea really wanted to make sure it had a direct dialogue between north korea and the united states. time to time, it showed its unhappiness with the fact that south korea tried to become the mediator in between. especially when the south korean president announced a statement on national liberation day yesterday by saying he plans to have unification by 2045. saying he plans to have unification by 20a5. 0bviously, saying he plans to have unification by 20a5. obviously, it was nothing discussed between north korea and south korea. kim jong—un fear to lose his power over the north korean regime and because of that, it is a critical time for north korea to make sure that it is —— its sovereignty is not depending on other countries' power. so the north korean government is sending out a strong message. that was today's test, missile test. so the message is that they want to deal with the united states and not with south korea, but acts which may be construed as acts of aggression like this might also alienate the united states. yes, but what we need to think about is that the range of the missile test, those missiles which we re missile test, those missiles which were tested during the last month we re were tested during the last month were all short—range missiles, not long—range, which is less intimidating. because of that, it looks like north korea has been very careful about the missile tests. thinking about the kind of message it can provide towards south korea and also the united states. what do you make of the current relationship between president trump and kim jong—un? because trump has spoken of these beautiful letters he's been receiving. yes, but we all know that north korea and the united states, it is good diplomacy, they have shown the world they are good friends. but now it is time to have something tangible. for example, the united states government, it is customary to send out a special representative to north korea from the us. the same as the us ambassador to russia. that can't go both ways. it can have better communication between the us and north korea. at the moment, we don't have a us embassy in north korea. it can boost the conversation between north korea and the us. but at the same time, it can work as a pressure with career from the us that there is someone who is specialised in north korea, issues around north korea. because of that, really it is about what tangible thing they can negotiate, rather than exchanging letters or shaking hands. thank you very much. just to return to that breaking news of the last hour or so that a police officer has been killed in berkshire. it happened last night as pc andrew harper was attending reports of a burglary near to

of low pressure is still with us into sunday. a bit of rain in the south east of england early on sunday, that will clear away, then we have this occluded front, which means quite a lot of showers or longer spells of rain in scotland and northern ireland during sunday. 0ne or two showers in north—west england and wales. at least it is dry and bright, some sunshine, but quite breezy. these are the gusts, 35 to a0 or a5 breezy. these are the gusts, 35 to a0 ora5 mph breezy. these are the gusts, 35 to a0 or a5 mph during sunday. maximum temperatures about 17 to 21. into next week, it will remain

not likely to be as many people around us there are at the moment. but it's quite possible there would have been people driving past at around this time because it is a busy area. they are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident to get in touch and if anyone has any information at all, no matter how insignificant it might seem, to get in touch and help with the investigation. the latest from our reporter at the scene. a little bit of news developing on this. danny shaw, our home affairs correspondent, putting through a bit more information, this time from the independent 0ffice through a bit more information, this time from the independent office for police conduct, that's the independent body that investigates after police incidents where there has been perhaps a death or issues around police contact with members of the public. this says they were made aware of the incident involving the death of pc andrew harper because of possible issues around a police pursuit. but at this stage the independent 0ffice police pursuit. but at this stage the independent office for police conduct says it is not getting involved in the case. an interesting line, the mention of police pursuit. we do not know exactly what happened but danny shaw, our home affairs correspondent, earlier saying he had unconfirmed suggestions, which he stressed they were unconfirmed, that there were cars involved and pc harper may have been knocked down by a car which was in motion. still rather sketchy at this time. as we mentioned in our introduction, one other thing coming on in the last few moments was the tweet from the prime minister boris johnson, few moments was the tweet from the prime minister borisjohnson, who said he was deeply shocked and appalled by the death of police officer andrew harper. we expect to hear from we expect to hearfrom home secretary priti patel in the next few moments with a response to that. clearly, the loss of a police officer is always extremely shocking for the police family and naturally for the police family and naturally for pc harper's family as well, a very difficult time. deputy police chief constable jason hogg issuing a statement saying their deepest thoughts at this time are of course with pc harper's friends and family who are being supported by specially trained family liaison officers. ten male suspects have been arrested in connection with the incident, aged between 13 and 30. as we have more on this, we will bring it to you. turkey's military pension fund has reached a tentative deal to buy british steel. 0yak said it plans to take over the firm, which was put into compulsory liquidation in may, and is now run by the official receiver, by the end of the year. british steel, which owns the scunthorpe steel works where 3,000 people work, was in rescue talks with the government, but they broke down. our business editor simonjack brought us up to speed with the latest. in total there are a500 workers there whose future has been in doubt. during that period, the official receiver has been sifting through a number of bids for all or part of the company. we have learned today that they have decided that the best bid in their view is one from the turkish military pension fund. government sources working on this deal up until recently said it has been for some time considered head and shoulders the best deal. this will mean there will now be exclusive talks, they will have exclusive access to the company, its books, and they will do their process of due diligence. at the end of which we hope, but it is not guaranteed, that they will buy the company out of liquidation. a package of government support is being made available, several hundred million in loan guarantees. this is being tentatively welcomed by unions and british steel themselves, saying it looks like they have now got a future. it is quite interesting, a turkish military pension fund, you might think that seems odd and yes it is, but they also have things likejoint ventures with renault, they own car production plants. it's a big investment fund so they have plenty of money. they also own 50% of turkey's biggest steel producer and it's thought the two plants could be quite complementary so people are relatively positive about it today. as part of the bid, how much information does a firm have to give about their plans, investment and jobs and so on? they have to give a fair amount and it's on that basis that this bid was considered superior, not only because they have the most financial muscle of the bidders looking at this, but it's thought the turkish plan involved the fewest redundancies and the most production ramp—up. on that basis, they will get more investment in the company from this turkish bid, fewer redundancies. they have plenty of financial firepower. it is quite odd that it's a military pension fund, which supplements pensions and makes loans available for veterans of the turkish armed forces, but they said to think of us like the ontario teachers' fund, which owns big things like hs1. it's a big financial fund, invests for the long term, and it has the nod to go ahead. not guaranteed, but i think it is being welcomed this morning. as a final thought, how much of a challenge will it be because it has been a rocky road for british steel, so are they taking on something that is quite tough? you are right to say it is a tough time for the steel industry. we have seen steel prices collapse in 2016 but they have come back a little bit since then. there are issues about the economics of making steel. cheap steel coming in from china. you have very high energy costs and business rates here make it challenging. i would expect the government to look at a package of support that is not just labour guarantees but to see if they can do anything on energy costs and put it on a firm footing. but certainly a500 workers in and around scunthorpe will be breathing a sigh of relief. it's not guaranteed, but it's looking positive. that was our business editor simon jack. harish patel is the national officer for steel at the trade union unite. he said this is welcome news for the workers and their families. it's a relief for all of our members in the workforce who are employed with british steel, but this is the beginning of the process in terms of we still haven't reached the end mark, and obviously discussions will continue to secure a sustainable future for the steel industry. we wa nt we want to look at in terms of the business plan, and the long term business plan, and the long term business plan, and the long term business plan of the company and how they intend to put investment into scunthorpe they intend to put investment into scu nthorpe and other sites they intend to put investment into scunthorpe and other sites and that's key in terms of our involvement and also looking at the government to ensure that they look ata government to ensure that they look at a level playing field in terms of the energy costs, which need to be looked at, the business rates, and indeed a an industrial strategy and with brexit coming up, we don't want to end up in a situation where steel will be dumped into the uk and make it uncompetitive for our workers in the uk. we look forward with confidence to make sure we have a sustainable steel industry. that's the view of the union. staying with business news... the scottish government is to nationalise ferguson marine engineering, the last civilian shipyard on the clyde. the port glasgow shipyard, with almost 300 workers, had been at the centre of a dispute over the spiralling cost of two ferries. the gmb union has welcomed the nationalisation, but said there would be challenges, as it will limit the amount of private sector work for which the yard can now compete. a man from surrey has admitted trying to murder a bulgarian teenager in what prosecutors are calling a ‘far right terrorist incident‘. vincent fuller pleaded guilty to two offences at kingston crown court after he attacked 19—year—old dimitar mihaylov in march. mr fuller told his victim ‘you are going to die‘ before stabbing him in the hand and neck. he denied it was a terrorist act but accepted it was racially motivated. our correspondent richard galpin has been following the trial at kingston crown court. a short while ago he sent us this update. obviously a very important hearing. the prosecution are saying this was a far right terrorist incident and they want him to be prosecuted for terrorism, which would entail a very severe prison sentence if he were to be found guilty of that. fuller denies it was an act of terrorism but admits racially aggravated harassment, alarm or distress. this attack took place literally the day after the horrific attacks in new zealand by a far right extremist man in which 51 muslims were killed in new zealand in several mosques in the area. we heard that vincent fuller, in a facebook posting, had said, "i agree with what the gunman did in new zealand." during this attack in stanwell in march, fuller also is said to have been heard shouting, "white supremacy rules," and "i am going to kill muslims." this is why the prosecution are trying to bring a terrorist charge against him, because it seems that there is an alleged political motivation. he also, before stabbing mr mihaylov, went out with a baseball bat and threatened a neighbour of south asian descent. he then went down smashing cars and we understand he broke the baseball bat, went back to his home, got a knife and then came back out, which is when the stabbing of a bulgarian teenager, who had been sitting in his car in a tesco car park, that‘s when the stabbing took place. he was stabbed in the hand and mr mihaylov also had a cut to his neck. the next hearing will be sentencing, and that will be on 5th september. to return to the murder investigation being launched after a thames valley police officer died on duty near reading. the prime minister says he‘s shocked and appalled by the killing. a few moments ago the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, gave this reaction. my my condolences to andrew harper‘s family and his colleagues, who must be absolutely devastated. he was doing his duty, examining apparently what had happened at a burglary, and was killed in the line of duty. i am pleased that ten arrests have a p pa re ntly pleased that ten arrests have apparently already been made, but we have to remember, there is a human being here, there is a family involved, colleagues involved, and this is the danger police officers face. and it‘s also about the growth of violence in our society. the use of violence in our society. the use of knives, machetes, guns in crime, it has got to end and it means there has to be more police officers available to support people going through these sorts of dangers. that response from jeremy corbyn. the liberal democrat leader, joeaderjeremy corbyn would be too divisive to lead a caretaker government. let‘s get more on this with our political correspondent, helena wilkinson. the war of words continuing and what might happen next continues. what we are seeing at moment is opposition... people from the opposition... people from the opposition trying to work out exactly how they can stop a no—deal brexit on the 31st october. but in particular, you mentioned there, who would lead an emergency government if there was a vote of no confidence against the government and if that is successful. we knowjeremy corbyn‘s plans. he says if that vote of no confidence is won then he would be the man to be the caretaker prime minister, to stand in as prime minister until a general election is held. but the leader of the liberal democrat party, jo swinson, has described that plan is nonsense. she thinks it should be up to two senior people in the house of commons to step up and take on that role. those two people, ken clarke and
