Food. We will grow more here and buy more from around the world, but that will mean bad news the continental farmers, that is why it will not happen, it is in their interest to reach a deal. There have been questions around whether seaports like dover could cope with backed up lorries in the event of no trade deal with the eu. The transport secretary said he thought a deal would be done, but if it does not we already have a operation stack, and he rejected suggestions that planes would be granted. The deadlock in the latest negotiations with the eu has made the prospect of no deal one that the government insists it is now planning for. But parliament is gearing up for a fight, with labour suggesting it willjoin forces fight, with labour suggesting it will join forces with fight, with labour suggesting it willjoin forces with tory remainers to try to change the legislation in the eu withdrawal bill to stop the government from being able to opt for no deal. I think on a cross party basis, you will see the debates in the coming week, the government will get the message, there will be a deal. When we amend the legislation, which i think we will, there is a majority to do that, have a meaningful votes, we can say to the government that whatever you are negotiating will not be on the basis of no deal. With the lie of the land on a future trade deal looking uncertain, the advice seems to be that we might have to become more self sufficient, and as faras have to become more self sufficient, and as far as the future of eu citizens go, what brexit minister has said they would be able to stay in the uk whatever happens.

It was very odd. The overtures were nothing to do with, wow, youre really pretty all, you know, i really pretty all, you know, i really enjoy. It was not talking to me, it was i want to touch your bleep. They say your blood runs cold, it is not really your blood, it is like your stomach turns. The organisation behind the oscars has voted to expel Harvey Weinstein. It said the era of shameful complicity in sexually predatory behaviour is over. So the sparkle of tinseltown is overshadowed by the allegations against one man, who used to wield so against one man, who used to wield so much power. That power has grumbled and insiders are unsure what that means for the Film Industry. Alexander mackenzie, bbc news. Health professionals in england are to be told to ask patients aged 16 or over about their Sexual Orientation under new nhs guidelines. Nhs england said no one would be forced to answer the question, but recording the data would help to avoid discrimination. Lesbian, gay and bisexual people are currently disproportionately affected by Health Inequalities such as Poor Mental Health and a higher risk of self harm and suicide. The death toll from twin bomb blasts that struck the heart of somalias capital mogadishu is now 85. Its unclear who was responsible, but the number of casualties involved makes it one of the deadliest attacks in somalia since the Islamist Al Shabab movement launched its insurgency in 2007. At least a0 people are now known to have been killed by wildfires which have devastated a major californian wine region. Hundreds of others are missing, as the fires continue to spread. Large parts of the state, including sonoma and napa counties, have been affected. People who kill someone on the roads could face life sentences under new laws being proposed by the government. Motorists who cause death by speeding, street racing or driving while on a mobile phone are among those who may be handed the maximum punishment. Andy moore reports. Joseph brown lartey was known to his friends as the gentle giant. At six foot six, he towered over his parents. He was killed three years ago in rochdale by a driver travelling 80 miles an hour in a 30mph zone. Addil haroon was sentenced to six years in jail. The government says drivers like him could now face life behind bars. We do think the courts should have power to impose impose life sentences for the very worst reckless life changing cases perhaps with multiple victims, or theyve been speeding or racing or looking at a mobile phone. The wreckage ofjosephs car was displayed in front of the houses of parliament by the Road Safety Charity brake. The organisation has welcomed todays announcement. It is a victory, really, for years and years of campaigning by families of bereaved, Crash Victims and charities including brake, but we would like the government to go further and also increase resources for enforcement so the law can be properly enforced. The Parliamentary Advisory Council for transport safety said there was no evidence that tougher sentences would act as a deterrent. I think its understandable where its coming from, but i think there is a danger that it will disappoint the victims families and have no effect on road safety. This lorry driver, tomasz kroker, was scrolling through music on his mobile phonejust seconds before he ploughed into a line of stationary traffic, killing four people. He was sentenced to ten years in jail. The government says cases like this should be seen as similar to manslaughter and the prison term should reflect that. Andy moore, bbc news.

Austria is voting today in snap general election. The country could elect europes youngest leader. But the 31 year Old Conservative Party leader Sebastian Kurz may have to rely on a coalition with a far right anti Immigration Party in order to take power. From vienna, bethany bell reports. Sebastian kurz of the conservative Peoples Party casting his vote. Just 31 years old, he has a chance of becoming europes youngest leader. Hes taken a hard line on migrants. That may have helped him attract votes away from the far right. During the refugee crisis of 2015 and 16, austria took in tens of thousands of asylum seekers. Support for the far right Freedom Party soared. But then Sebastian Kurz moved his conservatives to the right. He took a lot of thunder from the Freedom Party. So he imitated their content, their issues, made them his issues and in that he profited a lot from the situation. The Freedom Party has accused mr kurz of stealing its policies. But many believe it could choose to go into a Coalition Government with the conservatives. Austrias current chancellor, Christian Kern of the social democrats, is hoping therell be a last minute surge in support. Austria could be on the verge of a political change. The next Coalition Government could include a far right Eurosceptic Party that has campaigned strongly against too many muslims in austria and too many migrants. That could cause a problem for the eu. Bethany bell, bbc news, vienna. Thats it from me. You can see more on all of todays stories on the bbc news channel. The next news on bbc one is at 5 50pm. Bye for now. This is bbc news. Lets return to Harvey Weinstein who has been kicked out of the academy that runs the oscars. In a statement, the board said he no longer merited the respect of his colleagues. It follows a series of Sexual Assault accusations against the producer including rape which he has denied. The film criticjason solomons described how Harvey Weinstein treated him. At the Venice Film Festival i published an unfavourable review of a Harvey Weinstein film, madonnas we. Not very well directed by madonna. The Film Industry was not pleased about madonna being elevated to the status of auteur and being at the Venice Film Festival, but that was the power Harvey Weinstein had to get his products into these prestigious film festivals. When a critic took against his film, he would single them out. He came for me and shook me at a reception and said, you cant publish that. Youre never coming to the baftas again, you will never go to cannes, you will never work in this town again. I was in venice, it is not his town i think there are other mafias in this town. That is how he saw himself, as a capo, that is how he rolled down the street with these people in tow. He was capable of killing stories, of denying people interviews. I was once waiting for Helena Bonham carter at an awards ceremony at bfi southbank. He turned her around in the taxi because she was one of his women. He said, she is not coming. I said, what do you mean . We have Charity Money resting on her appearance. He said she is too tired. I said it is 20 grand towards the hitchcock fund. He said, if she wins she can come. He is not the only person to do bargaining in the industry, it works that way. But he was the chief whip cracker. We all kind of allowed him to come to the baftas and oh, harvey, come here. There was a red carpet for him and it was done by money, glamour and the aura of respectability which has been burst now. But it has been that way since 1918 or Something Like that. It is how the movies work. They are the dream factory, the smoke screen. The messages behind movies will perhaps be examined closer and anyone who has worked with Harvey Weinstein will. Want to shake him off and out of them. But there are a lot of people who have worked with Harvey Weinstein and not all their talents were tainted by it. They were all taken in by the the way he operated. Today is officially the last day to spend your old round pound coins, although some stores will continue to accept them for a limited period, and banks will still take them. The new twelve sided pound was introduced in march to thwart counterfeiters. Earlier i spoke to annie shaw, a money expert, who told me why the new twelve sided pound was introduced. The problem with counterfeiting, youd think it was a small valley thing, notes would be better, but apparently, im no expert on counterfeiting, but apparently counterfeiters found it really easy to copy. They say as many as one in 30 actually fake coins. But when we went to the vending machine, but youre pounding and it dropped through, you did not get your chocolate bar, that is probably because was a fake. Lets talk about what you have to do. The deadline, technically, is midnight tonight. Yes. I expect there is quite a few sweet shops doing a good trade today but people getting rid of their small change. Not to worry, you can change them at the bank anyway. You can take the men and swap them, one for one. Various stores say they will continue to accept them. Sainsburys, liddle, m s says they wont, but most of the supermarkets and even a couple of Small Traders have said they will take them. Of course, pound land. They are making pay out of this, come and spend your plans with us. You do not need to panic about it. But you certainly need to be aware that these new coins are going to be the legal tender, and you may not be able to spend yours at all in the future. There might be some people coming back from holidays, who if they did know, they had forgotten, and suddenly realising, i cannot spend my pounds. I think so, if there is anyone overseas, a tourist watching this programme on the news, they may have brought some over with them theyve had for a couple of years. I know i did that when currencies changed abroad. I turned up with the old currency that is no longer acceptable. Tourists certainly need to be aware. Anybody who has been abroad and really not been awake to this changeover, certainly. They are nice little things. Two colours, like the £2 coin. Probably more attractive than the other ones. One thing i would say is that some of the old ones are quite, could be quite valuable, ive been seeing a few things on forums and in the papers, i think the metro have a thing about which old £1 coins are more valuable. Theres a bit of a trade going on on ebay of the more valuable old designs. Before, if you do find a few around somewhere, perhaps check they have got more than the face value of a pound. You might be able to sell it for a bit more on ebay. I know you could give them to charity as well. The british legion for example saying they will ta ke legion for example saying they will take all pound coins any time. They will. Always good for foreign currency, always give it to charity, any spare change, they can always deal with it, they have special agreements with the banks and the mintand things agreements with the banks and the mint and things like that. The headlines on bbc news hollywood producer, Harvey Weinstein, has been expelled from the organisation that hands out the oscars after being accused of rape and Sexual Assault allegations he denies. Drivers who cause death in the most serious cases of dangerous and careless driving could now face life sentences under new legislation. The met Office Issues an amber weather warning for Northern Ireland as hurricane ophelia approaches the uk. Forecasters warn there is a good chance of power cuts and travel disruption on monday. At least a0 people are now known to have been killed by wildfires which have devastated a major californian wine region. Hundreds of others are missing, as the fires continue to spread. Large parts of the state, including sonoma and napa counties, and the city of santa rosa, have been affected. Dave lee has the latest. While huge fires continue to burn over the hills, the unimaginable task of finding and identifying the dead is now under way. This part of santa rosa was known hauntingly as journeys end. It was a mobile home park, more than 100 people lived here. Specially trained dogs are being used to find human remains in the ash. It is heartbreaking. It happened so fast and there was nothing you could do. Attempts to contain the fire are beginning to work. Fire lines are being established by digging in and purposefully burning the vegetation. In this area, there is rugged terrain, a heavy fuel bed with oak and timber. Its all very volatile and dry. Still, the exhausted firefighters remain at the mercy of the wind, which has picked up again this weekend, forcing more evacuations. More than 90,000 people have been displaced so far. Emergency services here estimate it will take some time before people can rebuild their lives. But there is no impatience. This Community Knows it owes a lot to those who are facing the fires head on. It was 30 years ago today that weatherman michael fish told the nation there wouldnt be a hurricane. A few hours later, southern england was hit by destructive winds of over 100mph. The great storm of 1987 claimed 18 lives and caused some 2 billion pounds worth of damage. Peter gibbs reports on how the storm affected historic woodland in west sussex. As drawn broke some 15 Million Trees lay flattened in southern england. At the National Trust estate in west sussex, 20,000 trees were lost. Walking through the woods today you would be hard pushed to spot trace of that catastrophe. But that is thanks to forward thinking to the people in charge of the clear up at the time. We are in our Southern Hemisphere woodlands. It was known as coates tree, the day after the storm. That is all that was left . Yes. Ed is the head of horticulture and he told me of the plan bes put in force after the storm. Out of the carnage of that night came some incredibly clear, far sighted thinking, not to just replace everything that was lost and recover the land, but to subscribe properly to this notion of grouping plants according to where they come from. Would it be fair to say the storm was a blessing in disguise . It allowed us to create something profound and our woodlands are our big contribution to british horticulture. Those who have worked on the estate have seen it transformed from a scene of devastation back to the thriving woodland it is today. It was a tangled mess, it was like a massive game ofjenga. Some colleagues never got over the storm, because they had spent years nurturing the collection and within a click of a finger it was flattened. Although it seemed like a disaster at the time, the great storm of 87 was a natural event. Here at wakehurst, it started a process of renewal that is now helping repair forests threatened on the other side of the world. The years biggest literary prize, the man booker award, will be revealed next week. Between now and then well be previewing the six shortlisted titles here on bbc news. Our look at the would be Prize Winners continues today with Emily Fridlund discussing herfiction debut in which a young girl, growing up in an isolated Community Experiences a shocking coming of age. History of wolves takes the voice of an adult woman looking back on important events in her life. She is remembering when she became a baby sitter for a family that moved in across the lake from where she lived. She sees or senses something is not quite right in that household, but does not allow herself to act for a long time, until its too late. Its not that i never think about paul, he comes to me occasionally, before im fully awake. Though i almost never remember what he said or what i did or did not do to him. We are sitting in the Nature Centre on a Late Afternoon like any other, and his body moves automatically toward mine. Not out of love or respect, but simply because he has not yet learned the etiquette of minding where his body stops and another begins. Outside the window, an avalanche of poplar fluff floats by, silent and weightless as air. I decided early on to reveal the death of one of the central characters, paul, the little boy. I was more interested in thinking about how that event of his death is processed in lindas memory. Linda, as a teenage girl, does not really know when she is approaching the most traumatic things that are going to happen to her. Of course, the adult narrator looking back does now, and so i was playing with that kind of tension between the two perspectives. And those narrative questions became the ethical questions of the book. The book is asking us to think through why linda fails to act. The sense of place is incredibly important. This north woods setting infuses everything, gives the texture of mood and tone. It really brings out lindas unusual perspective. This book has been called a coming of age story. Coming of age into the world that we live in, for most of us, is coming of age into patriarchy and coming of age into racism. That means a loss as much as a gain for many people who are not white men. That can make a person angry. And you can see our special live awards programme next tuesday night at 9 30 here on the bbc news channel. Time for a look at the weather. Letsjoin ben rich for the forecast.
