i recently spoke with bbc reporter mike thomson, author of the book "syria's secret library: reading and redemption in a town under siege," which is coming out this tuesday. the idea of people risking their lives to somaehow creat secret library, tell me, first of all, at did ts liberia look like? how did it survive while there were bombs dropping around it. >> well, it was a basement, harhari, so buried beneath the surface of the ground.n it had beein a building half destroyed, in an area almostoy totally des, that was picked deliberately, because it would look from above as if there was nothing lefto bomb. >> sreenivasan: so, where did the books come from? >> the bos came from abandoned houses, bombed houses and some bombed office buildings. and this group of young people behind it all, most of them former university students, had thought to themselves, "look, instead of just sitting here waiting to die and extremely hungry," as they were under siege, "let's go and rescue books we have heard about that are lying abandoned in buildings and getting ruined by the weather." it's after

jeremy thomson—cook, founder of complete currency consulting, joins me now. are you? very well. how are you? -- geremy. a staggering loss. i worked it out. it is about $1000 a minute over the course of a 90 day period. every single minute. uber is saying that the majority of this is down to the costs associated with its ipo, getting itself onto the stock market. it's initial public offering. yes. in allowing people like you and me buying shares on it. previously employees were allowed shares. a lot of this cost, about $3.9 billion worth of this cost is that compensation to employees and employees using their share options. evenif employees using their share options. even if you take that out, they still lost $1.3 billion, double what they did in the previous quarter. so this compa ny‘s profits they did in the previous quarter. so this company's profits and revenues are only going one way. that is absolutely right. these expenses are piling up. they have done a foray into food, another into freight. how sensible are these aggressive growth strategies when you

it may be the most bizarre traffic stop of trooper thomson's career. with his kr two aircraft. amazingly the incident rarely interrupted the flow of traffic. he did not even get a ticket. tomorrow, though, he will be driving. don't forget, you can get in touch with me and some of the team on twitter — i'm @lvaughanjones. friday saw a respite from the rain for many parts, at whaley bridge dam. although the severe flood warning remains in force at whaley bridge dam. and we do have more rain in the forecast later in the weekend, and into the new week. however the day should start of the many dry, bright, a little bit of mist and fog inland now the lights are getting longer, and it could be murky for a time near the east coast before the sunshine gets to work and melts that cloud away. but notice as we go through the day there is a chance of some showers for northern ireland, primarily, but there could be the odd heavy, thundery one across the hills of scotland, and perhaps the odd shower across northern england, north wales, but largely dry and fine in th

as sophia tran—thomson reports, typhoon lekima is thought to be the region's worst storm in five yearsin and 200 km/h winds, leading to mass evacuations and widespread transport disruption. the typhoon made landfall around the city and has been making its way to the south—eastern province. 800,000 people have been evacuated in the province and 250,000 in shanghai. over 200 homes have been destroyed and an additional 2.7 million people had lost power across the province. one of the biggest concerns for emergency workers is that at least 49 reservoirs across the region have registered water levels exceeding the normal capacity. one natural dam has already collapsed. chinese state tv has reported that over 2000 flights have been cancelled across the country since friday because of both the typhoon and heavy thunderstorms. the civil aviation authority says airports are closely monitoring the weather and accommodating affected passengers but warned that the extreme conditions would continue to challenge airlines for some time to come. to exacerbate travel issues, trains have also been cance

joining us is jeremy thomson—cook, founder, complete currency consulting jeremy, we were nodding towardt at all today, the bank of england dry to stay away from cutting interest rates until the outlook for brexit is looking a little bit more certain, god knows when that is going to happen! but in the short term the bank of england will probably outline its options and continue to say it remains vigilant and dry to continue to communicate to businesses and consumers in the uk that should the worst come to the worse they will step in and try and help the uk economy. what else is in the mind of european investors? the fed took up a lot of time yesterday, continues to have an effect on market as we see this morning, chinese manufacturing numbers overnight, as much as we can talk about the federal reserve and the impact of the trade war, it's federal reserve and the impact of the trade war, its continuing to her things, chinese manufacturing stabilising a little over the course ofjuly, we saw the trade talks break down between the us and china and they are not due to resume until september s

when i set out to write the chapter about lincoln and andrew thomson, you think to yourself what can i write all the great e great scholars haven't written about in this sort of seminal moment in history and i decided i wanted to vindicate the one state on the record which is putting johnson a heartbeat away from the president. back then he didn't choose the running mate but it's an important moment and lincoln was certain he was going to lose because he engaged in a massive entry outside of his circle to move him let off the ticke one d replace him with andrew johnson. if you look to andrew johnson was in 1864 versus what he was later as president, it's a remarkable contrast and you feel some degree of empathy for lincoln having made such a bad decision because at the time he was one of the poorest effort to rise to the presidency and he owed everything he had to the union and despite the racist sentiment and belief, he cared more about the union than anything else so when the first shots were fired on fort sumter, all he cared about was breaking the confederacy to reunite the union

liz: i'm looking at sector stocks on my thomson reuters stock.ealth insurer, every large financial a lot of biotechs in the red, oil, a lot of those names down, not to mention chinese stocks. susan: you name it, industrials, financials, consumer cyclicals as well. we saw the 10-year yield go past 1.65. 165 basis point, you saw automatic selling in sell orders come in. we're looking at declines, i would say it is pretty well-contained. the vix is at 20. if there was real panic we would be up in the 30s, right? liz: christian, you can't talk about stocks falling without the federal reserve. we have 20% chance we will see not a quarter-point cut, but a 50 basis point cut. so double that. do you believe we'll see that with 1 1/2 minutes before the closing bell rings? >> liz. i think we will see it. they say a bull market's climb a wall of worry. we're looking at a mountain of worry around the world right you no. so i think pressure is on the fed. this market activity will only ratchet it up. i think we could see the 50 basis point cut. liz: really? p

year—old lawyer peter duncan appears to have happened following a chance encounter. 0ur reporter sam thomsond attack which has rocked the city of newcastle. for two reasons, really. firstly, newcastle city centre, particularly, is considered relatively speaking to be quite a safe place to be. second of all, the manner of this alleged attack. it was broad daylight, right in the middle of the city centre. it happened at eldon square, which anybody who knows newcastle will know, a big shopping centre, at about 6:20pm on wednesday as people we re about 6:20pm on wednesday as people were going to the shops or making their way home from work. it is believed that 52—year—old solicitor peter duncan was one of the people who were making their way home from work. police have described what happened only as a coming together, which resulted in peter receiving a single puncture wound to his chest, believed to have been the result of a screwdriver being driven into him. yesterday, his family paid tribute to him, describing him as a kind and caring man who was always first to help others. he was a devoted

matthew thomson, lbc.u will win an election. you will know more than most but whether there is an election is entirely in your hands, so what would you say to the argument that unless you put forward a vote of no confidence, next week, that you don't want an election as much as you say you do. let me make this clear, this is a personal message to borisjohnson, bring clear, this is a personal message to boris johnson, bring it clear, this is a personal message to borisjohnson, bring it on. bring it on. applause the issue for us now, and it is an immediate issue, is that we have to do everything we can working on a cross— party do everything we can working on a cross—party basis to block a no—deal brexit. because we have seen the potential economic consequences for the country but also the potential impact it could have on the quality of people's lives, their living standards and the future of our economy and country for the long term. so that is what we will work on, and that is whyjeremy corbyn convened a

but, as sophia tran—thomson reports, being an insta hotspot has its downsides too.ortion of it now comes from wedding and editorial photo shoots, and from regular people who have paid a small ticket fee to come in, hang out in the fields, and often take their own photos, a lot of the time for social media. we get about anywhere between 40,000 — 50,000 people a year at the moment and that number is growing every year. on a really busy day we can expect about 4000 people. lavender fields like this have been used by professional photographers for a long time, and still are, but their popularity amongst regular people has rapidly grown in recent years. one of the main reasons is the spread of pictures on social media. there are currently almost five million photos on instagram alone with #lavender. where did you find out about this? on social media. he has been here before. so, you are back for more photos? yes. like a candid one as well, like looking away. yeah, with a nice blue sky, which we're not going to get, i don't think, today. if i leave today without an insta,
