The move came after a meeting in brussels, described by both sides as constructive. Theres been a glimmer of optimism over a possible deal after yesterdays meeting between Boris Johnson and irelands Prime Minister. But mrjohnson said today that reaching an agreement is not a done deal. With more, heres our deputy political editorjohn pienaar. Fragile hopes of a brexit deal have risen. So has the value of the pound and so has the planning and plotting among parties and politicians on all sides with everything riding on what happens in the next few days. Why . After endless recrimination between the eu and uk, each side blaming the other for the deadlock, Boris Johnson and eu leaders are daring to believe they may somehow find a way to agreement. The rumours have started again and they suggested that compromises could be on the way. Still a work in progress, but hes trying, and now borisjohnson may, just may, be getting somewhere in sketching out a brexit deal. After his show of optimism alongside irelands leader yesterday, today on a school visit it was time to look on the bright side. Both of us can see a pathway to a deal but that doesnt mean its a done deal. There is a way to go. Its important now that our negotiators, on both sides, get into proper talks. 0ne to one, the two leaders had traded ideas, changed the mood, cleared the way for intensive negotiations on terms to be laid on the table behind closed doors. I think at this stage, probably the less said the better. Focus today very much switches to brussels, where secretary of state barclay is going to meet with michel barnier, and i anticipate that that will lead to some more detailed proposals being laid down. Next stop, brussels. Brexit secretary Stephen Barclay met the eus chief negotiator today. The mood visibly positive. Though the path to agreement looked steep. Brexit is like climbing a mountain. We need vigilance, determination and patience. Are we near the top . But what about the obstacles . He wouldnt say. Are you going to negotiate over the weekend . Would parties including Boris Johnsons dup allies have a veto over Northern Irelands future status . No answers today. Northern ireland will be part of future uk trade deals, but the uk might drop plans for customs checks on the island of ireland when there is an eu border there. These are the details that could make or break a deal in tough negotiations, but in cyprus the Eu Council President was clear, giving up is not an option. Of course, there is no guarantee of success and the time is practically up. But even the slightest chance must be used. Here at westminster, the diaries and calendars for next week are covered in red ink. There is the big eu leaders summit, then on saturday a special session of the house of commons. Expect a vote on a deal, if there is one, and a push by mps who want to see brexit decided by another referendum. Meanwhile, if there is no agreement, even if there is a deal, the Prime Minister may struggle to avoid another brexit extension. The last thing he wants, a delay he mayjust have to accept. John pienaar, bbc news, westminster. Theres a warning today by Industry Leaders in five key sectors of the economy who say theres a serious risk to manufacturing competitiveness in borisjohnsons current brexit proposals. Theyve written to cabinet ministers, asking for reassurance that Industry Needs will still be prioritised. 0ur economics editor faisal islam has this exclusive report. A warning signal from across industry. Not about no deal brexit but about a possible deal. Unprecedented concerns seen by the bbc ina unprecedented concerns seen by the bbc in a private joint letter from manufacturing sectors employing over 1 million workers, that had broadly backed the original plan negotiated by theresa may. The letter was sent jointly by five mini Factoring Industry bodies governing aerospace, car makers, the chemicals industry, Food Industry and pharmaceuticals. It said the Prime Ministers why dont you plan for a brexit deal that moves the uk away from european regulations created a serious risk to manufacturing competitiveness that will result in huge new costs and disruption to uk firms. It went on, the plan has the potential to risk consumer and food safety and confidence, access to overseas markets for uk Public Safety is our highest priority for each of us. We operate within quite rigorous and complex regulatory environments. We have pan european supply chains and a global marketplace into which we pitch our products. The governments new approach in brussels negotiations seeks to regain full freedoms from eu regulators. In factories up and down the country, high tech parts like this engine blade and made to european standards and we have long known manufacturers are no great fans of no deal brexit. The significance of todays joint intervention is that they are criticising borisjohnsons proposed brexit deal. Concerned about what will happen if the uk diverges too much from european regulation. That the trade off will be in jobs and investment in this sector. This leicestershi Re Investment in this sector. This leicestershire manufacturer of aviation parts says his industry hasnt asked for divergence. By walking away from regulatory alignment in aerospace, we are creating one hell of a problem that we dont have today. We are suggesting that actually we could adopt an entirely different approach to aviation safety. I dont see how we can and why we need to. In west brom, this Robinson BrothersChemical Plant they test every product to send data to the eu chemicals agency. This is not what the government went to, not what they backed, we backed the deal with mutual recognition. We did not back a deal with divergence. The government said it was seeking a best in class Free Trade Agreement with the eu and was committed to high standards. But those industries that want to stay integrated with europe and join together so that is an experiment that doesnt work for them. Faisal islam, bbc news. Five people have been injured in a knife attack at the Arndale Centre in Manchester City centre. A man in his 40s was arrested at the scene after being tasered by police. The Counter Terrorism unit are now leading the investigation although police say they are keeping an open mind about the motive. 0ur correspondent danny savage is there. For much of today, this area around me was completely cordoned off after the multiple stabbing in the Shopping Centre behind me. Police say they think it is an isolated incident and that nobody else was involved. A man has been arrested on suspicion of terror offences. Whatever the motive, it was undoubtedly very frightening experience for everybody that in this area earlier today. Pa please leave the area immediately. Late morning, in the main shopping area of central manchester. The Arndale Centre is being evacuated. Inside, police are seen running towards the danger. Some customers are locked in the shops, including one man, who was joined by a woman, who the attacker has just lashed out at. He was just going round, presumably stabbing random people. It wasnt until the police finally came in, and she asked if it was a real knife, and they confirmed it was a real knife, that she then obviously flooded with tears. Five people are injured by the attacker, as the Shopping Centre goes into lockdown. People started shutting the shutters in the shops and folk were diving into the shops, it was. Scary when a whole crowd just comes towards you, it is quite, you know, frightening. From a tram, caught up in the gridlock outside, a passengerfilms a man being arrested by one officer, as another one stands over him, with his taser drawn. We do not know the motivation for this terrible attack. It appears random, its certainly brutal and, of course, extremely frightening, for anyone who witnessed it. We have arrested the man a male in his 40s on suspicion of terrorism, because of the nature and circumstances of this attack. Once again, there is a large crime scene in this city, with Terrorism Associated with it. Where police are investigating a link to terrorism. Two years after the arena bombing, this is an alarming site.

Coming up on sport in the next 15 minutes, we will be live in prague, where england can qualify for next summers European Championship if they beat the czech republic. In a week where weve been looking at the causes and consequences of knife crime, theres more sobering news tonight, after two teenagers were fatally stabbed within hours of each other in london. 15 year old ba ptista adjei was stabbed after school in the east of the city, and hours later an 18 year old was killed in south london. Our home editor, mark easton, reports now on what can be done to combat the rise in knife crime. 15 year old Baptista Adjei went to school yesterday, but he never came home. His family today grieved by the spot where he died, on the pavement, outside a Shopping Centre, in east london. Stabbed in his school uniform, he only made it this far, before his young life gave out. The most shocking aspect of this scene is its familiarity. Around 70 people have been stabbed to death in london already this year. Disproportionately teenagers. Schoolboys. Less than four hours after ba ptista died, police were scrambled to another stabbing, in camberwell, south london. They found an 18 year old man with knife wounds, pronounced dead at the scene and hour later. A lot of young people keep their emotions inside. Just around the corner is a project trying to steer people away from knife crime. This man spent 12 years in prison, for a stabbing, taylor who is 19, also convicted of a knife offence, now volunteers to mentor others. As a single child of a single mum, taylor told me how, from the age of 12, he saw himself as the family defender, until the day he ran from his house, looking to attack someone with a blade. I was the breadwinner, i was a man, i was the top dog. Ifelt like i was big and strong when in reality i was nowhere near that. I wasjust a young man, throwing all his insecurities out, by being aggressive and loud and hiding everything, really. What would have helped . To have a role model in my local area, in my community. By one measure, the story of youth crime in the last ten years is one of success. The number of children cautioned or sentenced in england and wales down 82 . But within that, knife crime is a different story. A fall after the last crisis, a decade ago, but then a few years later, it rises again.

What sort of changes are we talking about . The changes are across the board. The changes are across the board. The report says we need to change the way we travel, the way we heat oui the way we travel, the way we heat our homes, the food we eat. It says, over the coming decades, everything we do has to become either zero carbon or much lower carbon. It recognises its a huge challenge and will take time, so first it says that consumers need much more information about the Environmental Impact of the things they do and buy. It talked about mandatory carbon impact labelling for food. Buy. It talked about mandatory carbon impact labelling forfood. It says we need more subsidies to encourage us says we need more subsidies to encourage us to do things like insulate our homes, take public transport, may be to buy an electric car, but it also says over time the price of carbon intensive products or activities will have to rise, so expect things like fossil fuels, beef, flying to get more expensive.

Some of us have seen around half a months rainfall in the last 2a hours. As far as the ground is concerned, and is already very wet, and there is more rain in the forecast for this weekend, not everywhere, not all the time, but where the rain falls on sodden ground, there is an ongoing risk of flooding. This is earlier on today, and bands of rain have been pushing across england and wales. A narrow band drifting south east at the moment. Plenty of showers have been pushing into the north west of the uk and, through this evening and tonight, we keep that feed off showers into the north west, and outbreaks of rain continuing to pulse on and off in the south. In between, some clear spells, and in the north east of scotland it could turn chilly, two or three degrees. More generally, six to 12, and the winds will be easing. Into tomorrow, this band of cloud and rain will be dragging its heels, the rain coming and going all day across southern parts of england, at times going back into the midlands, wales and east anglia. Still showers in the north west, but north wales, northern england, Northern Ireland and scotland getting some spells of sunshine. Not as windy as today, but 13 to 15 degrees. Tomorrow night, this area of wet weather trips north again. The risk of flooding increases. 0n again. The risk of flooding increases. On sunday, complex picture, but a couple of different weather fronts which you can think of asjoining together to weather fronts which you can think of as joining together to give a big area of heavy rain. That will push north through the day and it may well be that northern scotland gets away with a largely dry and bright day, and things perhaps brightening up day, and things perhaps brightening up later in the south. Breezy, temperatures 11 to 16. Next week, it stays unsettled and there will be more rain.
