Hospitals in england are set to receive £850 million in funding for upgrades to outdated facilities and equipment. We are starting here in boston with 21 million going into the a e. That helps to expand the space they have in the a e. Tesco is to cut 4,500 jobs, mostly from its Tesco Metro Stores. Firefighters say they need at least two more days to pump water from a reservoir to prevent a damaged dam in derbyshire from collapsing. Yup, gone austraila win the first ashes test at edgbaston by 251 runs after england collapse in the second innings. Its five oclock. Our main story. President trump has condemned what he called racism, bigotry and White Supremacy in an address following the Mass Shootings in texas and ohio over the weekend that left 30 people dead. He said those guilty of Mass Shootings should face the death penalty. He blamed such killings on Mental Illness, social media, video games and what he called a glorification of violence. He said more must be done to identify those who might carry out such attacks before they do. Mr trump did not however address accusations that his own racially charged and anti immigrant rhetoric may have contributed to a rise in hate crimes. He also stopped short of calling for gun control reform. In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry, and White Supremacy. These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in america. Hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart, and it devours the soul. We have asked the fbi to identify all further resources they need, to investigate and disrupt hate crimes, and domestic terrorism. Whatever they need. We must recognise that the internet has provided a dangerous avenue to radicalise disturbed minds, and perform demented acts. We must shine a light on the Dark Recesses of the internet, and stop mass murders, before they start. The internet, likewise, is used for human trafficking, illegal drug distribution, and so many other heinous crimes. The perils of the internet and social media cannot be ignored, and they will not be ignored. Lets go to el paso in texas now and speak to our correspondent gary odonoghue. I wonder what you made of donald trump remarks and what people there would have made of them because difficult to address for him in some ways because he has been criticised for his own rhetoric possibly as being a contributory factor in this kind of violence. The tone is very different to what we have heard from the president certainly in those tweets a couple of weeks ago when he was talking about sending people back to where they came from, very racist in their tone. When he was talking at various rallies about what to do with immigrants. Someone in the crowd shouted out, why not shoot them . The tone was very different. He took on that sort of ma ntle different. He took on that sort of mantle of console in chief that president s are expected to take on these moments in time and in many way said the right words in the right order. Many people didnt think youd coloured white supremacist in that way but he did. The problem is you have identified is that everything that has gone before suggests this isnt necessarily what you really believes that people believe that this tone will not last and that the suggestions of some kind of movement potentially which was making before that speech and gun regulation wont go anywhere because it never does. It always ends up running into the sand, into the quagmire of congressional partisanship. So that is the big question going forward. I how much does it mean, what does it amount to other than just words . Thank you, gary. Lets speak now to richard mcalexanderfrom Columbia Law School in new york, a specialist in the rise of far right terrorism and its links with immigration. Talk to us a little bit about the rise in that kind of far right terrorism in the United States. Is ita terrorism in the United States. Is it a phenomenon that we are seeing on the increase at the moment . think so, i think the data bed it out there is an increase in right wing nationalist terrorist attacks. And it seems the big determinant of that is Anti Government sentiment. When a president says things that stoke this anger and fear of immigrants it is likely we will see more attacks. Anti immigrant sentiment. Is likely we will see more attacks. Antiimmigrant sentiment. Is there any evidence it correlates what the president has said in terms ofanti immigrant what the president has said in terms of anti immigrant rhetoric and acts of anti immigrant rhetoric and acts of violence by the far right . of anti immigrant rhetoric and acts of violence by the far right . I have seen some studies where there is a rise in anti immigrant attacks after the president stops at a location or a speech. The difference here is i think it is a little more difficult to track that because the shooter in el paso drove nine hours to el paso to commit this attack so it is difficult to pin down how the rhetoric of the president will influence him looking for correlations and patterns and looking to see what the thinking is behind the attack. If this is an increasing phenomenon what should the authorities, the fbi and so on, be doing about it . The key is to look at what is going on on the internet and that is where a lot of these young white males are being radicalised by websites sharing a far right ideology and we know from things like twitter and facebook that if you get these people off the internet and decrease their voice you will see less you will see less attacks. White there has always been attacks. White there has always been a white supremacist element to the United States and the ku klux klan and so on. Do you think that is change the last three years . I think what is different is a lot of these attackers are very young and we did not see that as much in the ku klux klan and that is a much more hierarchical organisation for this is much more diffuse where there is no actual leadership but a seething resentment towards immigrants that is floating around on the intranet and being consumed and disseminated by young white males. and being consumed and disseminated by young white males. I dont know if you heard what the president had to say today. If you did, what did you make of his remarks . He talked about Mental Illness is a problem, social media and the glorification of violence and so on but he also talked about his anger with White Supremacists and hate and bigotry. Yeah, there are a lot of causes about why people commit these attacks. I think its important to focus on what works and we should increase the Mental Health treatment and funding for it in the United States but i think if we are serious and if the president were serious about attacking White Nationalist terrorism he would have done something more than what you did yesterday and we would have a pattern of doing so. Although he was right to condemn it it needs to be condemned more persistently and in stronger terms. His own language, what would you say about whether the president should temper what he says in future . I think that absolutely plays a role. It is hard to discern exactly what the role of his rhetoric is but its no coincidence that some of these shooters and far right wing nationalists have used words like invasion which the president has and subsequently scrubbed that word from his twitter feed. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you. The Prime Minister has promised to spend £850 million on nhs building projects, at 20 hospitals in england. The money, over the next five years, will be used to upgrade outdated facilities and equipment. A further billion pounds will be used to tackle a backlog in hospital improvements. Speaking on a visit to a hospital in lincolnshire, Boris Johnson said his biggest task is to cut treatment waiting times. But labour says the money is not enough and wont make up for years of cuts in the Health Service. Our Health Correspondent Dominic Hughes reports. Its another busy morning in the accident and Emergency Department at stockports stepping hill hospital. For years, they have struggled to cope as the number of patients seeking care has grown. But now the hospital has been given more than £30 million to build a much needed new trauma centre, which should ease some of the pressure in a e. When this was originally set up the expectation was for around 50,000 patient attendances a year. We are currently at almost twice that amount. We are approaching 100,000 patient attendances each year coming through the department. So this will be really good news for us in terms of coping with that capacity. In total, around £850 million has been promised to help with upgrades to outdated facilities and to pay for new equipment. Stepping hill in stockport is one of 20 hospitals across england that will benefit. The funding pledges part of what has been called a £1. 8 billion cash boost for the nhs. This is new money. I said ten days ago on the steps of downing street we would be upgrading 20 hospitals, 20 new hospital upgrades around the country, and this is it. We are starting in boston with 21 million there is no doubt this extra money is very welcome but health think tanks say it is a drop in the ocean. With so many nhs facilities in a state of major disrepair, it will take £6 billion in totaljust to make up the backlog of work. But there are questions over how much of this money is actually new. This is a welcome addition of {1. 8 billion to the nhs that they can spend now that they werent able to spend before. But it is merely replacing and reversing cuts made previously to our nhs capital budget, so it is not changing the long term plans we had. Labour are accusing the government of spinning the announcement as new money, having previously raided hospital budgets to pay for day to day running costs. Money, having previously raided hospital budgets to pay for day to day running costs. It looks like it is money that hospitals had already earned by cutting their costs. Ministers told them they had to cut back on their spending and if they did they would get new capital money. Then ministers blocked hospitals from spending that money. It looks like Boris Johnson has simply lifted that block on spending. A shortage of qualified staff remains a big challenge for the Health Service. Critics say New Buildings are fine but you need the doctors and nurses to work in them. Dominic hughes, bbc news, stockport. 0ur Political Correspondent pete saull is at westminster. How much of this do we think is new money . There is a debate raging about this. You saw borisjohnson saying he wants to stress this is in his view new money. It is in two parts, £850 million for 20 hospitals up parts, £850 million for 20 hospitals up and down the country to spend on new facilities, New Buildings, new wards in some cases. But those hospitals have bid for than previously, this funding and Boris Johnson so happens to become Prime Minister at the time he can make the announcement of the winning bid so it isa announcement of the winning bid so it is a bit ofa announcement of the winning bid so it is a bit of a stretch to call that element new money. The second pa rt that element new money. The second part is £1 billion for improvements and maintenance to existing buildings and some health think ta nks buildings and some health think tanks have said this is money hospital trusts have been asked to save up for and only now are being allowed to spend that money. It has as you might expect been largely welcomed by Health Professionals and trust in parts of the country that feel they havent had enough money of late but the labour party points out this is a bit of a drop in to the cutbacks implemented in the Health Service since the conservatives came to power in 2010. Does this kind of promise from Boris Johnson signal that perhaps a general election is not not too far away . I dont think it is any coincidence borisjohnson away . I dont think it is any coincidence Boris Johnson made away . I dont think it is any coincidence borisjohnson made this announcement in boston in lincolnshire, one of the biggest leave voting parts of the country. 20 areas affected here and many of those places could become general election battle grounds. The official criteria for the winning bids as these are areas with the most need but speculation is rife in westminster that the general election is imminent. According to the government it will not be before sist the government it will not be before 31st of october unless the Government Hand is forced potentially by a vote of no confidence. If it looks like we are heading towards no deal exit at the end of september, we know mps are opposed to it and a could table a vote of no confidence. The view in westminster as the Prime Minister sets the date of a general election and it could do it at the start of november so we would still leave at the end of october. There is a november so we would still leave at the end of october. There is 3111 day period under the rules where mps could come together and form a government that could command the majority of the house of commons and be completely unprecedented and extraordinary for this to happen. But we have seen some big parliamentary battles of late in westminster and it could be about to step upa westminster and it could be about to step up a notch or two in the autumn. Lets get more on this now with anneliese dodds, the shadow treasury minister. We have heard a debate raged amongst the experts about whether this is not new money. But Boris Johnson insists that it certainly is. not new money. But Boris Johnson insists that it certainly is. I am afraid that borisjohnson on this as in so many things is trying to pull the wool over peoples eyes. We have a£6 the wool over peoples eyes. We have a £6 billion repair backlog in the national Health Service and as has been mentioned by many experts you have just quoted hospitals been mentioned by many experts you havejust quoted hospitals promise previously that they would be able to get the money to spend those buildings and equipment, buildings and equipment that really need to have that upgrade, that improvement and were told by ministers you cannot have this money because it does not fit in with the treasury spending rules. So i am pleased that know they will be able to get money but what will be done about the rest of that £6 billion repair backlog. When will we see a more sensible approach to funding our nhs from this government . That to me is very much not clear from what Boris Johnson are said today. But for those 20 hospitals that will benefit, you . I think a lot of other hospitals will say we need this expenditure as well and we fit in with those rules previously and those requirements are said if trusts managed to sort out their budgets and balance their budgets in a particular way they would be able to get that money for capital spending. Those trusts which have not received that funding i think will be asking what are we meant to do . Of course it is good for those trusts that have received this money but many other hospitals right across the country will say what about our operating theatres that are in such a state . We have certain hospitals at the moment we have issues with sewage not working properly. The operating theatres in my own local trust not being safe. We need to have a sensible long term approach and it feels like Boris Johnson is turned up today for a bit ofa johnson is turned up today for a bit of a photocall about money already meant to be spent on our nhs. He is not thinking about those long term challenges. If we think about spending on the Health Service in the wider perspective, theresa may promised the nhs would get an extra £20 billion per year by 2033 which many saw as the generous offer. If labour were in power could be a match that . We set out exactly how we would do that. By having a fairer tax system so people at the very top of the income distribution, the top 596, of the income distribution, the top 5 , would pay more tax. We think thatis 5 , would pay more tax. We think that is fair but on the particular issue on investment and facilities and equipment, we have a different approach because so far the current government has bundled in a lot of those costs with other forms of spending. As we have seen they have been willing to raid those capital budgets to pay for staff costs for example. We think that when you have decent equipment and buildings you end up saving money so we have a different approach. We think there should be had National Transformation fund that would provide £250 billion worth of investment in our nhs and schools as well and other parts of Critical Infrastructure we really need. That is the sensible long term way to deal with some of these issues, not the kind of kneejerk approach deal with some of these issues, not the kind of knee jerk approach we have seen today. Thank you very much for being with us. Supermarket giant tesco says about 11,500 staff in 153 Tesco Metro Stores are set to lose theirjobs in the latest round of redundancies. The uks largest grocer said changes to the way the stores operated would serve shoppers better and help to run our business more sustainably. Lets talk to our Business Correspondent simon gompertz. A lot ofjobs going. Bad a lot of jobs going. Bad news for those people affected and on top of other previous job cuts at tesco that it has announced. Partly it is to do with the change in the way we are shopping on those metro stores which are bigger than the smaller express Convenience Stores and out of town Convenience Stores, originally the point was people would go and do the big shop. Now they are often doing that on line in they are often doing that on line in the tent are going to the metro stores to pick up a few things very quickly and what tesco plans to do is streamline the way they operate and effectively get the staff that remain to do more. So fewer goods keptin remain to do more. So fewer goods kept in storage behind the shop and more things going straight onto the shelves from the truck. More Staff Required to work across the shop and not just required to work across the shop and notjust in one specialist area such as the whine of the milk are Something Like that and fewer managers for the stores. So it will bea managers for the stores. So it will be a big change in the way they operate and a lot of people will lose out. Simon, thank you very much indeed. Emergency work continues, to prevent a damaged dam in derbyshire from collapsing, with the authorities saying they need at least another two days to pump out enough water from the nearby reservoir. Labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn praised the Emergency Response during a visit to Whaley Bridge but called for an inquiry into the future of the dam. Charlotte gallagher has the latest. Day five of the operation to save a dam, and a town. You can see the water level is reducing here, but Emergency Services say there is still a threat, and people forced to leave their homes wont be allowed back until it is safe. Later on today, i think it will get to a sufficient depth, where an engineer can have a really good look at the Structural Integrity of the dam, below eight metres. So, what we really want to know is, the remaining dam that is left, is that safe to keep the water in . So they want to go and have a look at that. Once we are happy that that has real Structural Integrity and can keep the remaining water in, then thats the point where we can start to say to people they can come home. The pumps behind me are working 2a hours a day, to drain the reservoir, and crucially, drop the water level even further. There has been a huge amount of disruption for residents, but many of them are doing all they can to help the operation, and save the dam. On friday, this field looked like this. Now, its one of the main locations of the operation. Contractors even built a road, so heavy machinery could get to the reservoir. Jeremy corbyn is visiting Whaley Bridge today. You can see him here, viewing the broken dam. Obviously, the water level has got to go down. Thats happening. And, hopefully, people will be able to return to their homes. Of course, there has to be the question of the long term repair to the dam and the safety of it in the future. It will be a while before Whaley Bridge returns to normal, but theres confidence here, from both the residents and Emergency Services, that this huge operation is working. Charlotte gallagher, bbc news. 0ur correspondent keith doyle is in Whaley Bridge. As you saw this was quiet field a week ago and now is the centre of a huge engineering operation. There are ten high volume pumps going on behind me that have stopped for a short engineering break and another 12 with double that capacity is submerged in the reservoir behind me. If we can move the camera you can see how the water has been dropping. If you can get through the gaps, i dont know we can see with all the engineering work, you can just see the water line slowly dropping. We understand it is dropping. We understand it is dropping by 0. 1 metre per hour. They wa nted dropping by 0. 1 metre per hour. They wanted to get it down by eight metres, passed at critical point they felt there was damage to the reservoir. It is now down by almost six metres so there is possibly another 2a hours to go before they get it to where they wanted to be. A short while ago we got this comment from derbyshire fire and rescue. The emergency is not over until the specialist tell us that the dam safe which is why we keep pumping water out but i have to say thursday night i had very little sleep because i was expecting failure of the dam wall. It was in a critical position as the water was looking through. Im feeling more comfortable with it now but the emergency phase is not over yet. Hopefully it will be soon, though. Might 1500 people are still being evacuated and the right of the homes in on the other side of the dam. They do not know when they will be back in. We have heard once the water gets the critical eight metre mark it is then investigation can ta ke mark it is then investigation can take place to determine the Structural Integrity of the dam. Locals have been very supportive and helping the Emergency Services. locals have been very supportive and helping the Emergency Services. I am joined by mick here. This is your field. It is incredible. The work of people have done is amazing and they have worked together 2a hours and Chinook Helicopters have been flying in and out. We have not had a lot of sleep but its been tremendous way we have pulled together. Theyve had to make big changes here to get this huge amount of equipment in and carry out the vital emergency work. Across a field is a new lane and into the reservoir to get water out and a lot of pipes have been put in and a lot of pipes have been put in and that is great. People i have met are and that is great. People i have met a re really and that is great. People i have met are really supportive. People have had to move livestock and vehicles. We have had to move sheep out of the field and people have had to move ca rs field and people have had to move cars out of fear that is less serious than if the reservoir burst. The danger zone is behind us and the town below that. What other people in the stone here thinking about eve iyo ne in the stone here thinking about everyone else in this area . We are just hoping it all works and the people in the lower part of the village are ok because if it did go through it would be awful. I think it isa through it would be awful. I think it is a really good community. You have been inconvenienced a little bit. I was as nothing compared to what has going on down there and every little bit we can do to help is great. It will be at least tomorrow until we know if the water is below that critical eight metre mark and the inspection can be carried out and people will then know if it is possible to get back into their homes. Keith, thank you very much. Adminstrators have arrived at the harland and Wolff Shipyard in belfast, which is facing closure. Theyll be holding talks with the shipyards workers. The yard, which built the titanic, once employed thousands of people but its last 130 staff now face losing theirjobs. 0ur correspondent emma vardy is in befast. 0ur correspondent, emma vardy, is in belfast. It emma vardy, is in belfast. Is a sad story of decline many it is a sad story of decline for many workers in what was once such an iconic shipyard employing 30,000 people in its heyday and building the titanic here. It has struggled over the years and had money pumped into the company to keep it afloat but today the company has gone into administration and will file for insolvency tomorrow. The Shipyard Workers have been holding a picket line here for the past week and say they will continue to stage this protest a nd they will continue to stage this protest and still hold out hope that perhaps a buyer for the company could be fine. They have been supported today by the shadow chancellor, John Mcdonnell who came down here to show solidarity. The argument of the unions and John Mcdonnell as the government should step in and re nationalise the company and save the skills and experience that exists here and perhaps naval ships could be built here in future but the government says this crisis is ultimately a commercial problem and it will not step in. So despondency from many workers here who do not want to see the end of the shipyard. It has huge historical significance for belfast, those two huge yellow crane known as samson and goliath towering over the city and can be seen from all around and very much a symbol of belfast. A six year old boy is still in a critical but stable condition, after reportedly being thrown from the tenth floor of the tate modern gallery in london. He was found on the roof of the fifth floor, after falling yesterday from a viewing platform. A 17 year old boy arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, remains in custody. Whats more we discover today about what happened . Whats more we discover today about what happened . Not much about exactly what happened. The gallery has been open today to one of the most popular Tourist Attractions in britain. You can see people leaving and it closes in about half an hour 01 so. And it closes in about half an hour or so. If you look at when it happened, you can see the extension of the gallery here, right up at the top of the tenth floor you can see the viewing platform and there are security railings there. They are well above waist height on the average adult so have a six year old boy came to be over them and then down for about 100 feet to the roof of the Main Building five stories below is not clear. Police are working on the theory he was lifted over and thrown down. Beyond that they are talking to the family and supporting the family of this french boy who was in hospital. He was airlifted away from here and they are appealing for eye witnesses to contact them on the bbc has spoken toa man contact them on the bbc has spoken to a man who says he saw what happened. There was a commotion and i was there with a friend on the Observation Deck and we were looking at the shard and as we were going to ta ke at the shard and as we were going to take ona at the shard and as we were going to take on a different fist that there was a motion with a very loud primal scream. was a motion with a very loud primal scream. This stuff. Vista. Someone said someone had thrown a child over and i looked over the railandi child over and i looked over the railand i did child over and i looked over the rail and i did see a child down there. His mother then tried to climb the real i restrained her and pulled her back rail. The fellow who was being accused was being punched and we pushed them over to the side of the wall where he was standing and continue to say i did it. Nobody as far as i know actually saw the man drop him. People saw him hold a boy and then there was no boy. It happened within a second. The police are asking for anyone who saw anything to get in touch with them and any eyewitnesses who were on the platform i saw the young man act suspiciously in the area before it took place yesterday afternoon at half past two. Sunshine and showers throughout the week. No significant set of weather. Most of the showers have been across the far north and west and into Northern Ireland and will continue to see one or two through wales as well. 0vernight, clearer skies across much of central and eastern england. Further west of the showers and breeze will pack up as well. Temperatures will dip to around 11 to 15 degrees. Showers will start out towards the west but sheltered eastern areas, a spell of sunshine first thing. It would be long before those showers start to penetrate further inland as we go through the afternoon. Some heavy, some thundery and rather blustery winds accompanying them. Highest values, if you managed to dodge the showers are likely to be 17 to 23 degrees. More of the same as we move into wednesday but it looks likely that scotla nd wednesday but it looks likely that scotland and Northern Ireland and north west england will see the most heavy widespread showers. Hopefully further and far between the solar set for the south you are. This is bbc news. The headlines.

Firefighters say they need at least two more days to pump water from a reservoir, to prevent a damaged dam in derbyshire from collapsing. An eyewitness describes the commotion as a six year old boy was allegedly thrown from the tenth floor of londons tate modern art gallery. The fellow who was being accused was being pushed and we pushed him over to the side of the wall where he was then standing, and continued to say yes i did it. I highly improbable result was required. The best england could hope for was to bat out the day and salvage a draw but they were four wickets down and didnt even make it to tea. 0ur sports correspondence has watching all of the action. This was a match that england dominated in the Opening Hours of the first day but also your australia won overwhelmingly. James andersons injury was a factor but could he have challenged steve smith with his supreme that in . Here, on the final day, it was nathan lion who finished things off for australia. Could shane warren have wrapped things up so successfully . May be. The spinner is always under pressure on the final day. A very experienced player who bowled with accuracy. English dismissals, jason roy playing a very t20 kind of shot missed the ball and was bowled out. Ina missed the ball and was bowled out. In a general sense, how are england adapting after their world cup . Might bea adapting after their world cup . Might be a few tired minds out there. Well, the will have to come back quickly and will wantjofra archer to come back and ball quickly because to be 1 0 up in an ashes series, that is as we are and as precious as steve smith. Joe root has a tough task of getting his players are ready to bounce back at lords. Credit has to go to australia. We were bowled out today. It was gifted to them. Ultimately, i think we got a little bit further backin think we got a little bit further back in the game. And they fought extreme hard to get into that position. There are things we can ta ke position. There are things we can take from the game, absolutely. From both sides of it. I thought we were brilliant. To get into that position. It was a strong one. U nfortu nately we position. It was a strong one. Unfortunately we couldnt get it right yesterday. Manchester united have made Harry Maguire the most expensive defender in the world signing him from Leicester City for £80 million. He has signed at united for 6 years. Correspdondent david 0rnstein. Manchester united have been struggling in central defensive areas for a long time now. We have experiment it with many players. Many they have given long contracts to sow a bit of an issue they are because what are they going to do with them now maguire has come in . It isa with them now maguire has come in . It is a huge amount of money, £5 million more than liverpool play played. United will hope that maguire has a similar success rate at old trafford. A six Year Contract with an option of annex a year on top. This is a player who made 76 appearances for leicester, scoring five goals and of course is now a regular England International as we saw last summer at the world cup. Manchester united will be hoping that this is a signing that helps to propel them back into the big time, into contention for major trophies. Thats all for now i will have more at 6 30pm. The health secretary, matt hancock, has warned that parliament can no longer block a no deal brexit. During his bid for the tory leadership, matt hancock said no deal was not an available choice, to the next Prime Minister. But he told the bbc that he has now changed his mind, in the light of last months commons votes. Lets get more on this now with Maddy Thimont jack, a Senior Researcher on the institute for governments brexit team. Thank you for being with us. There have been various people claiming that parliament cannot stop at no deal brexit. Do you think it could possibly, theoretically . think it is very challenging for them to do so and there are limited options facing mps just now. Them to do so and there are limited options facing mstust now. I dont know if we can completely roulette out because if we assume certain things before, events have transpired. I think what they are both referring to is an attempt to use a no confidence motion in government as a way to stop no deal because the process under the fixed Term Parliament act says that if mps pass a no confidence vote in government, there is a 1k day period where at the end of if no one, setting Prime Minister or someone else, was able to win a confidence motion, we would head into a general election. And they are referring to that there is very little time for that there is very little time for that to take place before the 31st of october. But there are some other mechanisms that mps might try and use. Lets talk about what they might be. Because people like a prominent remain campaigner who is a foreign in the side of theresa may government, has argued there are still a number of options left for mps to block no deal. What would those options be . The most effective one to stop no deal would be to pass legislation requiring the government to ta ke legislation requiring the government to take steps to prevent it. Because under international law, eu law, the uk leaves at the end of october, with or without a deal. So there are three ways to stop that. You either revoke article 50, request an extension to article 50 or try to pass the deal. What mps could do is pass the deal. What mps could do is pass legislation requiring the government to take one of those first two steps to avoid it entirely. Seeking an extension to article 50 which the eu would have to agree to or to revoke article 50. Something we did earlier this year and by that stage theresa may had requested an extension so the legislation it passed wasnt necessary. They challenge here is actually getting into a position where they can introduce and then pass the legislation because the government does control time in the commons, so that is the biggest challenge. Although some have said that the speaker is on the site which is debatable and arguable and he wouldnt admit that, but the role of the speaker of the house of commons in all this could be quite critical . Completely because he indicated that motions that are tabled under emergency debates might contain more opportunities than initially imagined. I think he said that in march. Some people say that normally emergency debate motions are motions that are saying that the house has considered something. Expressing neutral terms, you cant amend it. But if the speaker were allowed something that actually warehouse takes a view on something, he might then allow an amendment which could take control of it on another day. That would be significant from current normal practice. And current Parliamentary Convention but i think the implication is that if the government is willing to ignore mps, on this big issue, then maybe the speaker would be much more willing to do that. Again, timing becomes a big issue. Because if, you might be less likely to take that set in september and more willing in 0ctober september and more willing in october as the 31st gets closer. And it seems like the government is ignoring parliament but we cant predict at this stage of a lot of it is extreme the uncertain and were going to have to wait and see how it plays out after the summer. going to have to wait and see how it plays out after the summer. I was good to see, can you predict . Get us your best guess. Well they try to stop a no deal brexit and succeed . think they will definitely try. It will be a war of attrition in the autumn. But we shouldnt rule out that although Boris Johnson autumn. But we shouldnt rule out that although borisjohnson has said he is pro are no deal brexit there isa he is pro are no deal brexit there is a world where he tries to renegotiate something with the eu so we really dont know at this stage. Soi we really dont know at this stage. So i dont think i would be willing to bet on it. Thank you very much indeed forjoining us. A married father has been jailed for 17 years, for murdering a student midwife who went to his church. Shohfah el israel was convicted by a jury, at reading crown court, of killing 20 year old joy morgan. Ms morgan was last seen on the 26th of december, at a church event, in ilford. Her body has never been found. Police in hong kong have fired tear gas at demonstrators, taking part in a general strike. Shops remained closed in several parts of the city, as protestors clashed with riot police for a third consecutive day. The strike, over fears the government in beijing is trying to curb some of the territorys basic freedoms, has led to hundreds of cancelled flights at the airport and disruption to traffic. 0ur correspondent Stephen Mcdonell reports from the protests in wang tai sin. This gives you an idea of the militancy of some in the pro democracy movement. People are coming in here, throwing bricks over the wall of this compound, where the police live with theirfamilies. And its notjust a few people here, we come around and see how many protesters there are. There are thousands of them. The police came about an hour ago, pushed them back. But then they retreated inside the compound, and the protesters have returned. Theyve also graffitied the wall where the police live. Accusing them of having leaks to the mafia. Links to the mafia. And this is one of the demands of todays strike, that there be an independent inquiry into this connection. But the government says the police are already having an enquiry, are already having an inquiry, so no need for this special, independent inquiry. But again, we see just how many people are prepared to defy the police to this extent. If we pan up, we can see these buildings. This is where they live, in these towers. So you can imagine why, at various times, the police would be coming out here today, in full force to clear people from where they live. I mean, i imagine theirfamilies are living in there. And windows are being smashed up in their homes. Where are the bricks coming from . They are coming from here. Protesters are picking up bricks, from the footpath, and then. They come around this way, and start hurtling them back inside. Now, carrie lam says that her administration is going to stop this, is going to return hong kong to the way it was. But in the press conference today, we had no idea of how they intend to do this. And this cycle of violence just keeps going, and actually escalating. Steven reporting from hong kong. Pakistan has accused india of acting illegally, in revoking the special status of the kashmir region. The move by india will end kashmirs right to make its own laws, and mean that people from outside the state will be able to buy property there. The himilayan region has long been disputed by india and pakistan. Each claims it in full, but control only parts of it. India and pakistan, both nuclear powers, have fought two wars over the region since the independence and partition of india in 1947, and there has been a long running insurgency on the indian side. Yogita limaye is in delhi for us. Well, this has been a part of the bjps plan, the ruling partys plan, for a long time. It was a very significant part of their election manifesto during polls, earlier this year. So part of the reason, really, is to show to the voters that they have lived up to the promises that they made, when they were campaigning. We have been able to speak to a source in government about, what is the rationale behind removing this special status for kashmir . And they say that they were able to make laws that were applicable in all of india, except for kashmir. They believe that development and governance in the region was hampered because of that. And they also say laws related to, for example, womens rights, they couldnt make them and they couldnt be applied in kashmir, and thats their reason for doing it. Of course, this is a move fiercely opposed by politicians, as well as many people in kashmir. They see it as a promise being broken, a promise that was made at the time that kashmir agreed to become, and chose to become, a part of india the Princely State of kashmir, at the time of partition, in 19117. At the moment, the situation in kashmir is tense. Tens of thousands of extra soldiers have been sent in for security. People arent allowed to hold big gatherings. Last night, many politicians from the region were put under house arrest. Phone and internet lines have been snapped. Dr Adnan Naseemullah is a senior lecturer in International Relations at Kings College london. Hejoins me now. First of all cashmere, put it into some context. This has been fought over into wars between india and pakistan. It is absolutely crucial, isnt it . They have been disputing the former Princely State of general and kashmir which is a very large region which was originally disputed because the maharaja of kashmir couldnt make a decision over whether to join couldnt make a decision over whether tojoin india or pakistan. And facts on the ground led to a war. That was stopped three u in intervention. There was a deal by which. The indians say Pakistani Forces never withdrew, pakistan says there was never. Most of kashmir, the Kashmir Valley has been under indian administration, under the laws of india, for basically since 19117. Administration, under the laws of india, for basically since 1947. As we we re india, for basically since 1947. As we were hearing from our condition upon the, it was an election promise. To what extent is this provocative . And could it leave to increased tensions . Maybe even a new conflict . Absolutely. In fact, the conflict . Absolutely. In fact, the conflict is simmering. Stepping back a little bit, article 370 was the social contract between the indian state and the kashmiri people to give them some level of autonomy. In the beginning, the nature of that autonomy was quite significant. 0ver time, Indian Government of all different parties, have slowly eroded the kinds of protections that article 370 is supposed to provide. That article is the special status . Thats right. In some ways, and certainly this is the point of view of the government, that this is making formal what was actually already practical and removing the last few hurdles to incorporate kashmir as part of india. At the same time, it has significant said public status for the people of kashmir. Symbolic static. They say that they are part of any based on this agreement and with this revocation, there is no longer a sort of sense of social contract. And it is how pakistan reacts that could be critical, isnt it . and it is how pakistan reacts that could be critical, isnt it . I would say pakistan can do very little. In terms of this. Indias position in this long standing position is that essentially kashmir is an issue of domestic politics. That pakistan has nothing to do with it. Over the last decade, pakistan has been trying and failing to get the International Community excited or involved and notions of human rights abuse and kashmir which are very serious. So asa kashmir which are very serious. So as a result, kashmir is, for better or worse, an issue of domestic indian politics. Thank you so much for coming in.

Detectives are considering burglary as a possible motive, although they said they are keeping an open mind. Tomorrows planned strike by staff at heathrow, in a dispute over pay has been called off, after the unite union and the airport reached a deal. Leading climate scientists are meeting in geneva, and will warn that human activity in the way we use land, must change, in order to prevent global warming. The uns Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, is preparing a report on how intensive farming, deforestation and drained peatlands, contribute to rising temperatures. It comes after early indications suggest last month was the hottest on record. Our environment analyst, roger harrabin, has more details. Natural forests help keep the climate stable. Trees take c02 from the air, and fix it into the soil, through their roots. When we clear forests, to grow food, we reverse that process. C02 is released and fuels the unnatural heating of the climate. Ploughing the land is bad for Climate Change too. C02 is emitted when soil contacts the air. When the land is overgrazed, that also exposes the soil and releases c02. The way that we use the land, at the moment, results in this sector being responsible for nearly a quarter of global Greenhouse Gas emissions. Emissions are assosciated with a number of practices, such as, for example, agriculture, particularly livestock farming and arable farming. But they are also associated with unsustainable practices, in the way that we produce biomass such as timber or bioenergy crops. Beef and lamb farming put huge pressure on the land. The scientists and government officials, meeting in geneva, will debate how strongly they should advise against eating red meat. Changing our diets towards less meat, and more vegetables, is expected to be one of the key recommendations, because it would not only free up land that we need for feeding people, which is of course a very high priority. Its also freeing land that we will need for forest production, and other ecosystems production. Growing pla nt based fuels to replace fossil fuels, like here at the drax power station in the north of england, will be controversial too. We are putting pressure on the land in so many different ways. This garden, for instance, used to be a lawn. The grass was sucking c02 out of the air and fixing it into the soil. The slabs are certainly not doing that. Scientists say we need to plant billions of trees, to compensate with what weve done to the land. But that alone wont fix the climate. Scientists say weve still got to stop the fossil fuel emissions, that are dangerously heating the planet. Roger harrabin, bbc news. Time for a look at the weather. Heres louise lear. I think we will see quite a few shots like this over the next few days im afraid. Lots of showers, some heavy, some thundery as well. U nfortu nately if you some heavy, some thundery as well. Unfortunately if you have outdoor plans you could be dodging those showers for much of the week. Quite breezy as well at times. That is because we have an area of low pressure that is going to slowly push its way in from the atlantic and infiltrate the far north west and infiltrate the far north west and that is where the real heavy thundery downpours are likely to be. 0ver thundery downpours are likely to be. Over the next couple of days. We have seen those showers, some heavy and thundery, early half of this morning. They have been using away but in the last year was we have seen some into central scotland, Northern Ireland and west wales. That cloud will thin and break, keeping the clear skies across much of england and wales overnight. For the rest, a rash of showers and still quite breezy so we cant rule out the odd rumble of thunder with showers to come. 0vernight lows of 11 to 15 degrees. Starting tomorrow morning on a quiet note. Early morning on a quiet note. Early morning sunshine for the east but those showers will filter and from the west, pushed in by a south westerly breeze and again we could have thunder in those showers as well. By the middle of the afternoon, if you managed to dodge the showers, we will see temperatures peaking at around 20 to 23 degrees across england and wales. Breezy with it. Further north, lighter winds meaning temperatures not quite as one. 18 to 20 celsius. Enter wednesday, more showers, mostly through scotland, Northern Ireland, north west england and wales. We will see a few showers for the south but hopefully few and far between. Again, temperatures are likely to peek into the low 20s, 22, 20 three degrees. It is disappointing for this time of year. Thursday we could see the chance of seeing High Pressure building so, if you have outdoor plans, my bet is thursday for the best of the drier interludes but it will not last because as we move into friday we have another area of low pressure. Significant low bringing some wet and windy weather for the same of year, gusts in excess of 50 mph so thatis year, gusts in excess of 50 mph so that is not going to be great if you are trying to be under canvas into the weekend as it looks likely to stay pretty unsettled.
