First, some breaking news. The private sector Security Company gas has suspended nine members of staff from an Immigration Removal Centre near Gatwick Airport following an investigation by the bbcs panorama. The programme says it has covert footage recorded at brook house showing officers mocking, abusing and assaulting people being held there. Gas has said there was no place for the type of conduct described in the allegations and that it would continue to focus on the care and well being at brook house. Our social Affairs Correspondent alison holtjoins me. What more can you tell us . This is an investigation by the bbc panorama programme, and an investigating officer was undercover there. These are people who have finished their prison sentence and are due to be deported from the country at this centre. The others are people who have overstayed their visas, asylum seekers, and people who havent done anything criminal in terms of overstaying in terms of immigration offences, so it is quite a toxic mix, ideas described by the programme, within that centre. We know that the officers found widespread drug use, particularly the drug spice, and high levels of self harm, and officers who were mocking and abusive in their behaviour, allegedly. So it is a toxic mix, the programme will be looking at those aspects in detail on monday. And gas obviously taking it very seriously indeed this morning. Thank you very much indeed for that, alison. Annita is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the days news. Good morning, everyone. The International Trade secretary has said that the uk must not be allowed to be blackmailed by the European Union over the cost of leaving. Liam fox said businesses had become impatient with the slow progress of the brexit negotiations. Its very clear that businesses not just in europe but investors in places like here injapan are getting impatient and want to see what that final shape of that arrangements going to be. They want to know that therell continue to be an open and liberal trading environment in europe, and theres worry that, if theres not the sort of agreement that britain wants, you could end up with impediments to trade and investment across europe that dont exist today. Ian watson is in westminster. There is frustration on both sides. And there was some transference going on, a lot of frustration from british ministers at the moment after a very tetchy press conference in brussels yesterday in which the chief eu negotiator said it was some way off opening these trade talks, wider trade talks at the British Government are keen to get started, keen to get under way to try to reassure businesses that they can still have confidence after brexit. Those trade talks may well be delayed towards the end of the year, it certainly looks as though that is how things are going in brussels at the moment, and one of the key Sticking Points, or not the only one that one of the key ones is this so called divorce bill, effectively the eu is saying show us your money, tell us how much you are prepared to pay to leave the European Union, and the British Government has been relu cta nt to the British Government has been reluctant to do so. Liam fox has been arguing that one of the ways to release attentions is to park some of these issues and get the trade talks started. But whether you can reduce tensions by using language like blackmail, that remains to be seen. Like blackmail, that remains to be seen. He is effectively saying there should not be a price to pay to start these negotiations. I think at this stage it might actually fuel tensions rather than reduce them. Iain, thank you very much. The raf is now the first branch of the British Military to open every role in the service to women. From today, they can apply tojoin the raf regiment, a front line combat force whose main task is to patrol and protect air fields. The defence secretary, sir michael fallon, has described the move which is a year ahead of schedule as a defining moment. Our correspondent mark lobel has got the details. This is significant moment for the raf. The first branch of the British Military to open up all areas of the service to men and women. Women can already fly planes. But now they can apply to join the rafs currently all male infantry combat unit, which patrols and protects airfields. They fought in afghanistan and suffered casualties. The raf regiment is relatively small, just over 2,000 strong, and with women making up about 10 of the air force as a whole, theres unlikely to be a flood of applications. Lastjuly, former pm David Cameron overturned hundreds of years of military tradition to allow women to take up front line fighting jobs. In april, the royal armed corps opened its doors to females. Pm theresa may was there to witness the graduation at sandhurst of the first recruit. Today, its the rafs Ground Fighting force opening its doors. And by the end of next year, women should be able tojoin the even more physically demanding Army Infantry unit and the royal marines. Not everyone welcomes these changes, but after studies concluded women are physically up for the fight, now potential recruits can take up their right. Mark lobel, bbc news. President trump is expected to ask congress for £a. 5 billion of funds to help those affected by storm harvey. The total cost of repairing the damage and compensating residents whose homes have been affected, is estimated to be more than £100 billion. Celebrities such as singer beyonce, actors Sandra Bullock and leonardo dicaprio, have promised to contribute to a disaster fund. President trump says he will give 1 million of his own money. He plans to return to texas tomorrow. Sinn fein has dismissed a call by the dup to resume power sharing. Arlene foster made the suggestion during talks about forming a government. Sinn fein said establishing an executive before theyd resolved their disputes would lead to a collapse and fail the people of Northern Ireland. Sales of the noisiest and most powerful vacuum cleaners will be restricted under eu rules from today. Machines using more than 900 watts and emitting more than 80 decibels will be banned from sale when existing stocks run out. 0ur environment analyst Roger Harrabin explains. Some of these vacuum cleaners will be on the banned list from today. They guzzle too much energy. Cleaners like this sebo automatic gobble 1100 watts. Thats too high for new european standards, so this model is on the way out. Anti eu campaigners say europe should have no say in the sort of vacuum cleaner that you buy. But experts say households can save a small fortune on electricity bills if only the least efficient machines can be driven off the market. Theres no dispute that eu standards are forcing down energy use and cutting carbon emissions. But are they really worthwhile . The manufacturers claim they are prepared for it. Consumers are really not prepared for the performance hits they will experience from the new machines. So will the uk keep european standards after brexit . The government wont say. Well have to suck it and see. Roger harrabin, bbc news. Hundreds of thousands of people in birmingham could see piles of rubbish mounting in the streets again as bin workers resume strike action this morning. Last month industrial action was suspended to allow talks between the council and unions but the strike is back on again after the council said it was issuing some redundancy notices. A Georgia Police officer who was shown on a video telling a woman during a traffic stop not to worry because police only kill black people retired yesterday, after authorities sought the officers dismissal. The dashcam video shows the cobb county Police Officer standing by a car pulled over alongside a road last year and instructing the woman in the front passenger seat to use the mobile phone in her lap to make a call. Thats a summary of the latest bbc news more at 9. 30. Thank you, annita. What a shocking piece of footage. So, lets get some sport. How did the transfer window end 7 so, lets get some sport. How did the transfer window end . Hello. There was plenty of money spent in the premier league yesterday, more than spent on the final day of the tra nsfer than spent on the final day of the transfer window, we just didnt see any of it going on the really big names. The figures really show this summer that the premier league clubs beat their gross spent by 23 , fuelled by the Television Rights deal, it now means it is six summers ina row deal, it now means it is six summers in a row that english clubs have beaten their own record. They spent more money than any of the other major european leagues, and that trend is set to continue. So much more money, 23 . What other details, who is moving where . Lets get down to the nitty gritty. We didnt see the biggest of the tra nsfers didnt see the biggest of the transfers go through, we spoke about arsenals Alexis Sanchez. 2a goals last season, he could have been the missing piece from Manchester City, but after a £60 million bid and an agreement in principle were made, city were left disappointed because arsenal wouldnt sell him without getting in a replacement. That was meant to be the france wenger lamah, that was also agreed, but he opted against moving to north london. That meant sanchez was stuck at the emirates. He could be offered for free next summer at the end of his deal. Also staying put is ross barkley, another deal that was agreed, this time between everton and champions chelsea, in fact everton claim he had even gone as far as having a medical. But that was denied by a source close to the player. Not a great wind over chelsea, up until yesterday they missed several big targets, but they did doa missed several big targets, but they did do a couple of deadline day deals, including englands Danny Drinkwater, who made a 35mm hands move from Leicester City, premier League Winners in 2015. I cant run off all the deals right now, they are all on the website. But one more could happen today, Philippe Coutinho could be leaving liverpool, he has already been the subject of a £1a0 million bid from barcelona, that was rejected by liverpool, but the spanish transfer window not closing until tonight, that means he could be on his way. We were keep an eye on that one today, and maybe riyad mahrez will leave leicester to go to spain as well, there is still a little way to go before we stop talking about these transfers this summer. Thank you very much, and we are going to be talking a lot more about the football transfers, we will even have a football pitch here in the studio, so look out for that. The story of little alan kurdi who drowned after fleeing from syria shocked people around the world and you might find the image which we are about to show you distressing, especially if you are watching with children. Lying face down in the sand, the picture of alan drew the worlds attention to the deadly migrant crossings. The three year old drowned off the shores near the turkish resort of bodrum, after a boat carrying refugees sank, while he was attempting with his family to reach the greek island of kos. This image shows a turkish Police Officer carrying the tiny body of the young boy away. Within a few hours that image had gone viral, becoming the top trending picture on social media. But it wasnt just alan who lost his life that day. His brother galip and mother rehana also lost their lives and only his father abdullah survived. Politicians around the world promised action. In britain, more than 100,000 people marched on the streets calling on the government to welcome refugees. It led to the former prime minister, David Cameron, promising that the uk would take in a,000 Syrian Refugees a year. But on the eve of the second anniversary, tima kurdi, alans aunty, says the situation is getting worse. Well hearfrom her in a moment, but first heres an extract from her interview two years ago when she told us what happened. Once again, i should warn you that the details are graphic and upsetting. Just a small wave of water splashed him, and alan was laughing so loud and he said, oh, my god, daddy, this is very cold water 0n the other side, galib was crying and scared. His wife was scared, too. All of a sudden, he said, we hit the big wave, so it flipped the boat upside down, and then abdullah, he tried to hold the two boys, and then the wave kept pushing him down, so he tried to push them up, and he screamed at them to tell them, please, dont die, just breathe and the wave kept pushing them down, so abdullah finally managed to push the two boys up. So he looked in his left arm, galib was finished, he died, so he let him go. He looked at alan, alan was, his eye was bleeding. He said, i dont know why he has blood in his eye, and hes finished, hes dead, so he closed his eye and he said, rest in peace. And he said, ok, im going to let him go to go save my wife. He look around, look around until finally he saw his wife floating in the water like a balloon. She doesnt know how to swim. Tima is currently flying to erbil to spend the anniversary with her brother, but spoke exclusively to us earlier today and told us how she is marking the anniversary his death. The refugee camp there and for my brother abdullah, i cant explain, he never healed completely, but every time he goes to the refugee camp and talks to them it gives him hope and he obviouslies look at it asiam hope and he obviouslies look at it as i am going to be a person who can be the force and give them what i can give them or what he couldnt do to his own children. From canada i decided to open a foundation and its fairly new, we dont have Charity Number yet, we need to wait. But people can donate and hopefully we are going to, to alan, the boy on the beach will never be forgotten. Thats an amazing thing to be doing after you have suffered to much heartache and grief. You mentioned your brother, who clearly isnt coping at all well. No, i can not explain it to you. Just imagine losing your whole family, notjust one, and his wife, its not easy. But i keep encouraging him, i keep reminding him that maybe god wants him to do something, by Opening Foundation to help innocent children who have nothing to do in this world expect to have a good life so i give him hope. Emotionally its not easy for him. Its up and down. Its been two years. Emotionally. I am for him. Its up and down. Its been two years. Emotionally. Iam not the only one, there are thousands of families like my brother, they have the same thing, we see it every day, today its happening and its sad, its sad to see the world, we are sitting and watching and not doing enough. It sounds like this is also affecting you and partly at least because you feel that the world has forgotten alans story. Because you feel that the world has forgotten alans storylj because you feel that the world has forgotten alans story. I call on the worlds leaders, they are the only one who can bring the end to this conflict, everywhere in the world. They need to sit down and find a peaceful solution, political solution to end the war everywhere. Evenif solution to end the war everywhere. Even if we look around right now we see refugees from war, we see people affected, we see hatred around europe, we see terrorists killing innocent victims. This is unacceptable. And i fear and innocent victims. This is unacceptable. And ifear and i have feelings that we didnt see the worst yet, if we can not do anything. If we are going to keep watching and pretend, you know, yes, its and go back to our life and not do enough, then we are going to see the worst, everyone of us will be affected. So i am counting only on the worlds leaders, please, to sit around the table and find a solution everywhere, lets focus on the root cause those refugees flee their country and find the solution for it. We need to focus on that, why those refugees are fleeing their homes. No family will flee their homes. No family will flee their home or leave their country other than their life, theyre risking their life, families are dying every single day. Innocent children. Its unacceptable. We are watching the news, me, my brother, every time we see innocent children are dying it a lwa ys see innocent children are dying it always brings back our tragedy and it hurts because children are innocent victims. When the photo was First Published of alan lying, drowned, on that beach, many World Leaders said this must not be allowed to happen again. You have just made another appeal to World Leaders. Do you think you will be listened to . Two years later after that tragedy i really urge every citizen to go out there and tell their politician, their leader, to find a solution, peaceful solution. Anything we see right now in the world, its scary, so we dont want to continue watching and see the worst because we didnt see the worst because we didnt see the worst yet. In 2015 when we had that tragedy as a family and as the world seeing that image we thought back then this is the most tragic news and was the biggest, but if you ask me two years later which one is the worst i will tell you today, today is the worst. So again the people all over the world i want them to stand up and add their voices, go to your politician, go to your leaders and urge them and ask them, find the solution, peaceful solution to end the conflict. Until the solution will happen, which is not going to happen overnight, the refugees we need to continue to support refugees, to have a shared plan and to support them. Thats alan kurdis aunt, tima, speaking to us and you can feel how raw that grief still is. Horn story. Still to come. As the us battles with the worst floods in years around 1,200 people are expected to have died in flooding in india and bangladesh.

Ill be back with more on those stories just after ten. Lovely, hugh, thank you very much. More than 1,000 people have died in devastating floods affecting india, bangladesh and nepal. The disaster has been caused by one of the heaviest monsoons on record and has left millions needing aid. Across the globe, residents are still struggling to cope lets speak to mark pierce from save the children in dhaka, bangladesh and Francis Markus from the International Red cross in nepal. 0bviously much of our media has been focused on events on the other side of the world, the flooding in houston and elsewhere. But i wonder, perhaps starting with you, mark, if you can paint a picture of what you have seen there. The level of devastation is horrible, its massive. Millions of children have been affected, and as we know throughout the region, there are a0 Million People overall in all of south asia, so right now the rains have subsided and people are starting to clean up the debris and try to restore their livelihoods, but the situation is massive. 8 Million People throughout bangladesh are affected. Tens of thousands of homes have been destroyed, and peoples lives have been disrupted. And described the situation, francis, that you have seen in nepal. Many people are camped out in tents and under tarpaulins in conditions which alternate between baking heat and torrential rain still. And those who have managed to go back to their homes have found that these simple mud and bamboo dwellings are completely waterlogged, and all their meagre possessions have been swept away. You have to remember that the worst affected in this disaster really have been the poorest of the poor, in many case people who are landless, and even if they had the resources to rebuild their houses, they would face a question mark over where they can rebuild, so the future really is very, very uncertain for people, and they need a lot of support to get back on their feet again. It is interesting you start to talk about resources, because of course we are seeing already in the united states, the us congress is expected to step up with millions. The president has promised a million from his own personal account. But you are dealing with a very different situation in a place like nepal, arent you . Absolutely. Even before this disaster hit, people were telling us that the sum total of their possessions really only amounted to a store of grain and a few bits and pieces of clothing and some pots and pans, and so even clothing and some pots and pans, and so even this has been lost. As far as the people who have lost their homes altogether are concerned, shelter is one of the most urgent concerns, and so is health, because there is an obvious potential for there is an obvious potential for the spread of diseases. And the other major, major problem in nepal and in the other countries is the amount of farmland and the extent of the destruction of the rice crop. This means people also need support to somehow re establish their livelihoods and feed their families into the future. Mark, the country you are in, much of it on a river delta, much low lying and prone to flooding. Does that make an event like this any easier to deal with them the fact that people expect the monsoon season and they expect it to be bad . You can understand that people have been through this before, flooding occurs every year in bangladesh, and so people do have a keen understanding of what to do in the case of floods. However, these floods were much bigger than normal, and that is what caught every body off guard. And obviously children dont remember or havent experienced floods like this ever, and so they are the ones who are most traumatised in a flood situation, and so that is why we are trying to focus on trying to help families restore their livelihoods, get them basic food, shelter, water, but then also try to get kids back into school, make sure they are protected, and then help the families rebuild their livelihoods. So it isa families rebuild their livelihoods. So it is a daunting task, because this problem will go on for many months if not years to come, but we should always remember that it is the children who are affected most in these disasters. Mark pierce, of course the united states, part of it at least, centres on the issue of Climate Change, partly because of President Trumps thoughts on Climate Change. In a place like bangladesh, do people start to say, things are getting worse, it is something to do with man made Climate Change and therefore we need even more help from around the world . Even more help from around the world . Does that come into the political discussion . world . Does that come into the political discussion . I think it comes into everyones discussion, notjust the political comes into everyones discussion, not just the political discussion but even the farmer who lives on the delta and tries to tend to his farm and livestock. They are well aware of Climate Change. They can see it everyday. And they see their land either being flooded every year or facing drought. So people are making choices already as a result of Climate Change, and i think governments in bangladesh and south asia are well aware of what is happening and making plans as well as the international community. Francis, is that your experience in nepal as well . To people at the sharp end relates directly to Climate Change . I think that people do wonder about these immense changes and fluctuations which they are seeing. For a start, all the farmers in nepal are noticing that somehow or other, they yield is less and less from year to year, and then you have that situation where in pa rt you have that situation where in part of the flood stricken area that i was part of the flood stricken area that iwas ina part of the flood stricken area that i was in a few years ago, they said we had seven or eight years of drought, and suddenly they were hit by this incredibly severe monsoon onslaught of rain, and so inevitably people do wonder what is happening. They have answers, but theyjust have to respond as best they can, and we need to be with them and respond as best we can. Just because there is a drought situation, that doesnt mean that we can relax our vigilance and stop simulations where we enact what to do in a flood scene. So i think it is a complex picture, and people are trying to react as best they can. And marketeers, a final one from you, if you will. How would you characterise the immediate, the top three priorities right now . The top three priorities right now . The top three priorities are very clear. Food, shelter, water, and then following that, we need to restore peoples livelihoods, make sure kids get back into school, to give them some normalcy in their life. We need to make sure that children are protected. Mark pearce from save the children and Francis Markus, International Red cross, thank you both from nepal. Coming up, caring for a child with cancer and the emotional and physical toll that this can have on pa rents. A deal to restore devolved government in Northern Ireland has been rejected as the two main parties, the dup and sinn fein, continue to be at loggerheads. Chris pages in belfast. Does this move is a step closer to direct rule from westminster . I think it looks at the moment that it does. Northern ireland has been without a devolved government says the power sharing executive collapsed injanuary, and people in Northern Ireland are seeing the effects of that. There is great uncertainty for people working in the public sector, threats of cuts to public services, and last night the dup leader Arlene Foster made a speech in which she set out a proposal to break the deadlock. She said you restore the stormont executive, put ministers back into the devolved government immediately so the devolved government immediately so that they can get spending money on for example health dedication, try to sort those problems out, but she says at the same time, you should have parallel talks to deal with what to be the outstanding Sticking Point that is preventing the restoration of the devolved government, and that is around language and culture. Sinn fein, who would be the other half of the power sharing administration, want a piece of legislation to promote and protect the irish language, but the Democratic Unionist Party are pushing for a broader law which would also incorporate cultural elements which are more important to unionists. So that was mrs fosters idea, and she said in spite of the fa ct idea, and she said in spite of the fact that the dup are now in a powerful position at westminster propping up theresa mays minority conservative government, that didnt mean that the dup didnt want the return of devolution. She said the party were very much of the opinion that this was in the interests of the future of Northern Ireland. But sinn feins leader michelle 0neill has been speaking the last half hour, and this is what she had to say. The dup have failed to embrace power sharing. They have failed to embrace the principle is at the heart of the good friday agreement of equality, of Mutual Respect and of party of esteem. They have acted disrespectfully towards irish identity and culture, and they have failed to deliver people their rights. Whether that be marriage rights, language rights, economic rights, language rights, economic rights or cultural rights. So that has been the problem at the heart of the political crisis. The fundamental issue of rights. In regards to Arlene Fosters comments la st regards to Arlene Fosters comments last night and the offer of a parallel process, this is not a new offer. This is an issue, the issue offer. This is an issue, the issue ofa offer. This is an issue, the issue of a parallel process has been discussed, and disregarded throughout the course of all of the negotiations which we have had to date. So in essence it was making an offer which they knew would be rejected. The people out there want government. They want locally accountable institutions. They want the institutions to work. But they have to work in the way in which they are intended. They have to work on the principles of power sharing. So in terms of the offer last night, it was an offer which they knew would be rejected, and it is certainly not a new offer. Michelle oneill certainly not a new offer. Michelle 0neill making it clear that she didnt think that Arlene Fosters proposal last night made any differences regarding progress towards the restoration of devolution. So for the time being it looks like Northern Ireland will continue on this administrative autopilot, Civil Servants are running the country but they cant make any major policy decisions. They had been an expectation that talks would begin again next week having been on hold over the summer, but are you had heard for the politicians here this morning, the Northern Ireland secretary James Brokenshire making it clear he doesnt want to return to direct rule from westminster, but the longer this continues, matthew, the more likely it is that the government will have to look at some kind of alternative, and they will have to put in some ministers to run Northern Ireland or the absence of local ministers doing so. Chris, thank you very much indeed. Its one of the worst things that can happen to a parent, finding out your child has a serious illness. Now a leading Cancer Charity is warning about the damage it can do to a mother or fathers Mental Health, both during and after their childs treatment. Clic sargent surveyed nearly 300 parents and careers of young Cancer Patients and found many have suffered from depression, anxiety and panic attacks. Some said they felt pressured not to speak out about their problems because they had to be strong for their child, while others said concern about their finances caused additional stress. Lets start by hearing one couples story who have been speaking to clic sargent. Abi spiked two more temperatures during the day today. Panic mode sets in. Youre stressing because worrying about her or worrying about the little one, because shes away. Worrying about each other, because its stressful in itself. Things go through your mind that you just cant help. This is our life. Its just what we have to do. Abis poorly quite a lot, especially now shes in maintenance. I think the worst part was when we took her to the hospital and they came back and they said, yes, shes got leukaemia. Imean, that. Excuse me. That was devastating. And you just want to crack up, but you kind of know you cant crack up, because youve got to stay strong for her and try and not show her the fear that youre feeling. Youre feeling angry, youre feeling upset, confused. What do i do next, where do i go, who do i tell . You go into autopilot. Its chemo this day, injection that day, bloods this next day, and that is what your life consists of. I was numb to it, really. I wasnt debbie any more, i wasjust abis mum, and i didnt kind of know who i was. Figures from charities suggest four children are diagnosed with cancer in the uk every day, so lets now speak to some parents who know what impact that can have. Jennie dalton was diagnosed with post Traumatic Stress disorder after her daughter was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer. Debbie moran, who you will have seen in the clip we just played you, she was hospitalised with a suspected mini stroke while dealing with her daughters leukaemia. Also here is the chief executive for the Cancer Charity clic sargent, kate lee. Good morning to all of you. Lets start with you, jennie. Post Traumatic Stress disorder, its something we think of soldiers when we hear about it. Tell us what happened to you. Isabelle has had an incredibly long journey, seven years of treatment with her tumour. It just got to the stage where i was struggling, really struggling. The nightmares, the constant worry of isabelles relapsed three times now, so isabelles relapsed three times now, so its that fear of are we going to beat it . Is my daughter going to get better . Its just there constantly. It doesnt go away. Then when you have that mixed up with your daughters treatment, the emotional impact, Financial Impact it all comes together and i got to the stage where i put my hands up and said, you know what, i cant cope. I am really struggling. I need some help. I need support. Iwent am really struggling. I need some help. I need support. I went to see my gp and he said, yeah, you are showing classic signs of post Traumatic Stress disorder. When he said that what did you think . suppose i was relieved really because you get to the stage where you think am i losing my mind, am i going mad . You have so much co nsta ntly going mad . You have so much constantly going on in your head and you are trying to juggle everything and get the best support and treatment for your child and you are worried about them and you dont think about yourself. It was slow. It was a slow process. Itjust hit me andi it was a slow process. Itjust hit me and i thought somethings not right, i dont feel myself, i dont feel i can carry on and when the doctor said you have a diagnosis, you have post Traumatic Stress disorder, i thought, you have post Traumatic Stress disorder, ithought, yeah, iam not surprised. What i have been through. It isnt surprising, and yet i guess the sad thing is that people in your situation perhaps, did anybody talk to you, they obviously talked to you a lot about your daughters condition and that was very important, but did anybody say at the outset this might be hard for you . All the way through, friends, family, people say to you you need to look after yourself, you need to be strong. Did you believe them . I knew i needed to look after myself, but how . How do i look after myself . Ijust go on holiday for a week, shall i . My daughters in the middle of treatment, will i go on holiday, check into a spa and relax . I know i need to look after myself, you cant when you are at the hospital co nsta ntly when you are at the hospital constantly for nearly seven years. What do you do . Did you feel guilty that you were struggling when your daughter was in such a terrible situation . If i go daughter was in such a terrible situation . Ifi go under, what happens . What happens to my daughter ifigo happens . What happens to my daughter if i go under . I need to be strong. To be honest, when i put my hands up and saidi to be honest, when i put my hands up and said i am struggling i started to get support i felt better about myself. I felt stronger. To get support i felt better about myself. Ifelt stronger. Ifelt more able to support isabella and i was dmradi able to support isabella and i was dmrad i said i needed i was glad isaidi dmrad i said i needed i was glad isaid i needed dmrad i said i needed i was glad i said i needed support, dmrad i said i needed i was glad isaid i needed support, it dmrad i said i needed i was glad i said i needed support, it was like a weight was lifted. Lets talk to debbie about her experience. Thank you for waiting patiently. Listening to whatjennie has to say, presumably you can understand all those emotions and more . Totally, yeah. I totally understand where jennies coming from, its very much as they say, they tell you to look after yourself, its where do i look after yourself, its where do i look after myself . Its very hard. How do you find that space . I dont really know how you do find that space. When your childs really ill and theyre going in hospital its very difficult to find that space. Its catching moments when you can really. If your childs well and you can have five minutes to yourself, thats when you have it, but its very difficult to get that. Tell us about your daughter. Abigail is six and was diagnosed when she was three. She has leukaemia. Shes doing well at the moment, initially its very hard and you kind ofjust get into that mode and go through the treatment. Go through each stage. Chemo, without really thinking about it or trying not to thinking about it or trying not to think about it really. But shes a funny little girl. She smiles most of the time all the way through it, as do most of the children that are affected with cancer, surprisingly. Do you think she feels your anxiety . I try not to let her feel my aping site but i think at times yes my anxiety, but i think at times, yes, she does. You try to stay strong, obviously they need to know when you are worrying but she will turn around and say, mum, i am fine, let me do this, but its hard to switch off at times. Thats the hardest thing, isnt it, you want to protect your child from this and from what your child from this and from what you are feeling because you are meant to be strong, you are meant to be helping them. Do you worry that your daughter picks up on the stress that you are under . Same as debbie, i try my best to not let her see it. She doesnt need the added stress of worrying about her mum on top of everything else. Its so hard, especially at night. Its at night when shes asleep and shes settled, not in pain, shes fine, thats when it hits me and thats the hardest part. Thats when i do most of my crying in the middle of the night. In that moment of relaxation and it catches up with you. Kate lee, its clearly a problem not spoken about enough, what support is out there for people . I think our concern is that the support is patchy around the country. We know that organisations like clic sargent we have a Network Across the uk working directly with parents and our social workers will try wherever possible ifa workers will try wherever possible if a parent says theyre struggling and need help to get them referred into an nhs counselling service but often that takes a long time. Are gps picking up on this . often that takes a long time. Are gps picking up on this . I think if parents ask for help, i dont know how much, we are concerned whether its proactively offered. I think gps try. I think sometimes Healthcare Professionals think as soon as Healthcare Professionals think as soon as the child is out of treatment its all 0k and lots of parents tell us that the trauma starts after the treatment ends and the professionals disappear because they start thinking, one dad said to me every time he sees a bruce on his ten year old boy he is convinced the leukaemia is coming back, but ten year old boys have bruises. Its living with that fear. Lots of people think its over now, the treatment is finished, theyre well. Its really trying to understand that its a long term impact. Often children are treated miles away from home. Our nhs isnt well set up to provide counselling services for parents arent in their local gp practice, often parents dont see theirgp fora long practice, often parents dont see their gp for a long time because theyre living in bristol or birmingham or miles from home. We talk about this constantly, about the need for greater understanding within the nhs of Mental Health issues. We are joining through this child Cancer Awareness month, we wa nt child Cancer Awareness month, we want to raise awareness of support, to support Mental Health charities in saying provision in the uk still isnt good enough, we must look at improving this and thinking about parents of children with cancer spending most of their lives in hospitals, whats the provision available in hospital rather than in the community . Also just available in hospital rather than in the community . Alsojust remembering that most parents are wrenched out of the Family Network and Friends Network because theyre sent to hospitals, you are often sent to hospitals, you are often sent to hospital a long way from home. Debbie, its brave of you to talk about this and that in itself is going to help plenty of parents u nfortu nately going to help plenty of parents unfortunately in the same situation as you, do you have specific advice that might help mothers and fathers . Dont be afraid to ask for help. You are allowed to crumble. You do your best to be able to be strong but if you crumble, speak to somebody. Dont think that you have to be brave all the time. You need help too. You are going through it as much as your child is going through it. And jennie . There are professionals out there whose job it is to help you, i dont know what we would have done as a family without the support of our clic sargent social worker, she was amazing. Ask for help, tell people. Tell people i am struggling, i need some help. Its the hardest thing as a parent that you will ever have to go through to see your child so poorly and you need to be strong for them. And a plea for dads to do that too. Often there is a lot of emphasis, a lot of support focussed on people who seem ongoing through it, we know there is a real problem for dads because they feel they have to be strong. You often forget that fathers actually may hide more than mothers do. Debbie, thank you very much. Jennie as well, and kate lee. Still to come how clean will your house be after the eu bans the sale of powerful vacuum cleaners . We will talk to tv presenter Angie Mackenzie to find out. Lets get the latest weather. Today marks the start of autumn, it did feel like that this morning, on the cool side. A chill across many parts of the uk this morning but there was a good deal of sunshine around. Spectacular start for some parts of the uk. Sun coming up, mist, as well on the horizon. But it signalled what will be for many a dry and sunny start to the new season.

One or two isolated one north west england, scotland. Heavy ones to the east of norfolk and suffolk. Eastern scotla nd norfolk and suffolk. Eastern scotland likely to see showers today.

A better afternoon in the channel islands. Eastern england, from essex, suffolk, norfolk, lincolnshire, yorkshire and south east of scotland is where showers are likely through the afternoon. Cant rule out the odd one elsewhere. But the vast majority will avoid them. Dry, sunny spells and pleasantly warm. Light winds across scotland and Northern Ireland also helping with that warmth. The showers we see will go on into the evening across parts of eastern england, south east scotland and for some into the night. Some close to the coasts of east anglia and kent. Misty into tomorrow morning and that autumn chill will be evident again. Temperatures in rural parts of scotland, northern england, could below enough for a touch of frost on the ground tomorrow morning. Saturday probably the best of the weekend if you need to get out and about. Sunday not bad to get out and about. Sunday not bad to begin with but likely to see rain across parts of the uk later. Saturday, some mist around, a chill in the air. A few showers cropping up. England and wales especially. But very light and isolated. Mainly on the hills. Most of the country dry with lengthy sunny spells and with light winds it will feel pleasa ntly with light winds it will feel pleasantly warm. The fine weather will continue into the evening.

It wont be until overnight where we see that in parts of ireland, wales, south west england, a windy and wet start to the day. Driest for longest in the north east of scotland. Eastern parts of england too. If you are stuck under that rain it will feel rather cool. If you want to check where that rain is and you are on the move you can update as you go. Bye for now. Hello.

Heres annita in the bbc newsroom with a summary of todays news. Thank you, matthew. Good morning.

The International Trade secretary has said the uk must not allow itself to be blackmailed by the European Union over the cost of leaving. Speaking injapan where he and theresa may have been discussing future trading relations liam fox said businesses have become impatient with the slow progress of the brexit negotiations. Its very clear that businesses not just in europe but investors in places like here injapan are getting impatient and want to see what that final shape of that arrangements going to be. They want to know that therell continue to be an open and liberal trading environment in europe, and theres worry that, if theres not the sort of agreement that britain wants, you could end up with impediments to trade and investment across europe that dont exist today. The raf is now the first branch of the British Military to open every role in the service to women. From today, they can apply tojoin the raf regiment, a front line combat force whose main task is to patrol and protect air fields. The defence secretary, sir michael fallon, has described the move which is a year ahead of schedule as a defining moment. President trump is expected to ask congress for £a. 5 billion of funds to help those affected by storm harvey.

He plans to return to texas tomorrow. Sinn fein has dismissed a call by the dup to resume power sharing. Arlene foster made the suggestion during talks about forming a government. Sinn fein said establishing an executive before theyd resolved their disputes would lead to a collapse and fail the people of Northern Ireland. Hundreds of thousands of people in birmingham could see piles of rubbish mounting in the streets again as bin workers resume strike action this morning. Last month industrial action was suspended to allow talks between the council and unions but the strike is back on again after the council said it was issuing some redundancy notices. This is not about money. This is about ideology. They want to make cuts and damage trade unionism within the council and theyve taken a decision to sabotage an honourable settlement that was reached to do so. A Georgia Police officer who was shown on a video telling a woman during a traffic stop not to worry because police only kill black people retired yesterday, after authorities sought the officers dismissal. The dashcam video shows the cobb county Police Officer standing by a car pulled over alongside a road last year and instructing the woman in the front passenger seat to use the mobile phone in her lap to make a call. Thats a summary of the latest bbc news more at 10. 30. Thank you, annita. Still cant get over that footage, just dreadful. We have had some e mails in. Leighton has responded to the discussion we were having about the stress parents find themselves under when they have a child who is ill with cancer. And e mails to say the best help is having access to support helper who can fit having access to support helper who canfit in having access to support helper who can fit in regular and supportive contact. Surely someone said we have to acknowledge that the stress acknowledge the stress and be there when it gets too hard. And e mails coming through on the story about the new eu regulations on vacuum cleaners. Ray has even to say, the eu is going to have no say in our affairs after 2019, so why conform to their wins now . Do get in touch with us throughout the morning. If you text, remember you will be charged at the Standard Network rate. Lets see what is happening in the sport. Football transfer news first, and the final day was as much about the players who didnt move as those who did. The window closed last and night and there are some record breaking figures around. Premier league clubs spent £1. A billion over the summer £210 million on the final day. One player who didnt make it was Alexis Sanchez. His club arsenal had agreed a £60 million deal with Manchester City contigent on finding a replacement. But arsenal were turned down by monacos thomas lemar after a £90 million bid, and so refused to let sanchez go. Midfielder Danny Drinkwater did move late last night hes gone from leicester to chelsea for £35 million. That was after Evertons Ross Barkley changed his mind aboutjoining Antonio Contes side. Well, among all the excitement of deadline day, we shouldnt forget that its international week, with all the home nations involved in World Cup Qualifiers this weekend. Last night england arrived at their camp in malta ahead of their group f game tonight. England manager Gareth Southgate says he knows who will take over from wayne rooney as captain, but feels it should not be the focus of attention. We have focused too much on wayne in particular in the last few years, and we have got to Start Building a more Resilient Group of leaders, and allowing people to take responsibility. So for me its not the most important decision. The more important thing is trying to build the group into a Stronger Group that they react in the right way collectively. In the same group, scotland badly need to win in lithuania, to keep alive hopes. They kick off tonight as well, four points off the play off place, and have only won once there before. But their manager has confidence in his players. There is a psychology to it, the information you pass on, so it isnt going to be a churchill speech that makes them feel any better, that can work now and then, but in general you make sure that the players are prepared and feel comfortable. The amount of training they put into it. And Northern Ireland need to avoid any mishaps tonight against san marino for them to remain on course for a world cup play off spot. Theyre currently second in group c behind 201a winners germany. The world number one and two time champion rafael nadal is through to the third round of the us open overnight. He came through against japans taro daniel in four sets. Joining him there will be Roger Federer, who was pushed all the way for the second time in three days, this time by Russias Mikhail Youzhny. Its the first time in his career hes played five set matches in the first two rounds of a grand slam. Hell face spains Feliciano Lopez next. That is all your sport for now. We will be back with more little later on. Thank you very much. From today many parents in england are entitled to 30 hours of free care for children that are three or four which is double what was available before. It depends on the parents meeting certain criteria. They need to be in work and not earning over £100,000 a year. But there are a number of concerns with the system with some parents complaining that the application process has not worked, and nurseries saying they are facing a significant shortfall in funding. Lets talk to neil leitch, chief executive of the preschool learning alliance, which represents 1a, 000 members, and karen brain, a mum of three whose youngest daughter is eligible for the Free Childcare. And karen, ijust wonder whether you have gone through the application process , have gone through the application process, how has that been for you . It has been an absolute nightmare. Last week i was doing the process, only to be told that even if i did apply, because obviously i had to do it two weeks before commencing work, i actually commenced my newjob at the beginning of september, the 11th, so i couldnt apply until this week. I was then advised that even by applying, the five weeks backlog, andi by applying, the five weeks backlog, and i wouldnt get a code in time for my daughter to be eligible to go to nursery. So you were facing what you felt was just too much bureaucracy on this . Thats correct. Far too much red tape. Because obviously i had secured myjob, i was trying to apply online, to be told i couldnt apply until two weeks beforehand. Which then i was told that there was a five week backlog, and even if i did apply before the 31st of august, i wouldnt actually get my code, so my daughter wouldnt have childcare. That means i am working for nothing. Which is obviously detrimental. I thought that the government was trying to get people from benefits into work, and not put obstacles in their way. And all i feel is that thatis their way. And all i feel is that that is what i have had. It is not until i have taken it to the media that i have actually had any response. And what response have you had . The media has been backing me up had . The media has been backing me up 100 . Ijoined had . The media has been backing me up 100 . I joined a had . The media has been backing me up 100 . Ijoined a social media group, explained my situation that i was ina group, explained my situation that i was in a position where i either ta ke was in a position where i either take thejob was in a position where i either take the job and work for nothing, or if take the job and work for nothing, orifi take the job and work for nothing, or if i did work, it would have a detrimental financial restraint on me, ori detrimental financial restraint on me, or i dont actually work at all. And i thought that the government was trying to help people back into employment, and i didnt realise there was so much red tape and bureaucracy. But the parents perspective. Lets get the perspective. Lets get the perspective of the childcare providers themselves and neil. What seems to be happening is the need, the legal requirement to provide these extra hours, is causing some childcare providers to say they might actually have to close down . Absolutely. The first thing to say is there is no such thing as Free Childcare. At the moment, as you alluded to, every three and four year old is entitled to 15 hours of Free Childcare for 38 weeks of the year, but can be spread across the year. But the way that works for providers is they are able to cross subsidise it by those parents who take additional hours. So if you take 25 hours, 30 the moment, 15 hours of those will be at a slightly higher rate so that it will effectively fund the inadequate funding that comes from the government. If you remove the ability to do that, then you just exacerbate the problem. So providers are struggling even further now to be able to deliver this offer. dont understand. The government tells us we are giving an additional £1 billion a year by 2019 20. They are making sure that 15,000 children will benefit from places. So they are doing their part . Let me just say first of all. More money doesnt necessarily mean enough money. Why not . Lets look at that £1 billion. Five months before this policy basically came out, when labour were contemplating offering ten hours of Free Childcare, so not ten hours, but 15 hours, the then minister, a conservative minister, is on record giving evidence to the house of lords affordable childcare committee, and he said, do you know how much this would cost . At least {1. 5 how much this would cost . At least £1. 5 billion. Now in my reckoning, if you then extend it to 15 hours instead of ten, that comes to £2. 25 billion, so by governments own admission, surely there are investing less than 50 of what is required. So there is a shortfall. I received a letter from the chief executive of the Early Childhood council in new zealand. This country always quits New Zealanders being a great exemplar. He said to me, a few years ago, we introduced 20 hours of Free Childcare. A couple of years later, the government dropped the word free, and they dropped the word free because they realised they couldnt fund it. We are already at that position. But you do have examples of success stories. In northumberland, all the providers in northumberland, all the providers in northumberland signing up to deliver the 30 hours, so it is working . It doesnt mean its working. Providers will sign up to this because they are petrified, frankly, that if they dont offer the 30 hours, that particular parent will go to somebody else. They will restrict the numberof somebody else. They will restrict the number of places that they offer. They will also have to charge additional extras for things like lunches and trips, and they will increase the prices to those parents who do not qualify for the additional 15 hours. That doesnt mean it is working. Karen, lets just come back to you. What is your solution, then . Are you going to have to make a choice between working and continuing down this path, orjust deciding not to work . Thats a decision i was thinking about last week. I was beside myself with worry and stress thinking what ami with worry and stress thinking what am i going to do . Luckily, with the help of the press and the media which has changed this 360 dedprees, from not being able to apply, this week i have been able to do an application over the phone, which has changed since last week. I have also demonstrated my urgency and it seems to have been saying that on the 31st, as long as you apply, you will be legible for your free 30 hours and they will backlog. I am lucky because i think without the help of the media i wouldnt have been able to get the free child care as quickly as i did. I think i fast tracked, which a lot of people probably wouldnt have been able to iam now i am now in iam nowina i am now in a position which has been confirmed this morning, that my child now has herfree been confirmed this morning, that my child now has her free child been confirmed this morning, that my child now has herfree child care or nursery place. Thank you very much for joining nursery place. Thank you very much forjoining us and explaining that and also thanks to you, neil. We know from our evaluation that providers are committed to offering 30 hours and the additional hours are having a really positive impact on families taking huge pressure off families finances, thats the governments opinion of all of this. You heard one parents opinion of this. Breaking news now. Kenyas Supreme Court, you will remember in kenya they held a general election recently. The Supreme Court has overturned the results of last months president ial elections and has called for a new election within 60 days. Anne is in nairobi for us. What sort of irregularities and what does this mean in an already troubled political environment . Well, the irregularities, there are wild celebrations around me, supporters of the opposition coalition, have come to town to celebrate this very unexpected judgment of the court. The chief justice said that the Electoral Commission failed to conduct the elections in accordance with the constitution and electoral laws and said that the irregularities and illegalities could not have given a credible result. Therefore, contrary to what International Observers had said, they had said that the election was free, fair and credible, he said the irregularities and the ommissions that were committed could not amount to a credible election. Therefore, said that the president ial elections specifically was invalid, null and void and people will be going back to the ballot in another 60 days to elect a new president. This means is that parliament has already been sworn in so mps have already been sworn in so mps have already been sworn in so mps have already been sworn in and the ruling party has a huge majority in both houses of parliament, senate and the national assembly, so, it will be interesting to see what impact the president ial election is going to have on the other smaller elections, whether theyre going to be challenged in court and using this as a strong precedent. The leader of the opposition says that the past elections that he has participated m, elections that he has participated in, fourof them, elections that he has participated in, four of them, has been stolen from him. This is a welcome reprieve for his supporters, they are celebrating. Of course in another 60 days they will know indeed if he is the more popular president ial candidate. A Remarkable Development there in kenya. We will be following that here on bbc news throughout the day iam sure. Here on bbc news throughout the day i am sure. For now, from nairobi, thank you very much. Still to come how clean will your house be after the eu bans the sale of powerful vacuum cleaners . The story of little alan kurdi who dlouned after fleeing syria shocked the world. You might find the image distressing especially if you are watching with children, lying face down in the sand, the picture of alan drew the worlds attention to the deadly migrant crossings. The image shows a turkish Police Officer carrying the tiny body of the young boy away. Alans brother and mother also lost their lives that day. 0nly his father abdullah survived. 0n the eve of this second anniversary tima, alans aunt, has been speaking exclusively to us and has been telling us how shes marking the anniversary of their deaths. There isa anniversary of their deaths. There is a refugee camp there, and for my brother abdullah, i cant explain, he will never heal completely. But every time he goes to the refugee camp and talks to them it gives him hope and he always look at it as i am going to be the person who can be the force of those children and give them what i can give them or what he couldnt do for his own children. From canada, i decided to open the Kurdi Foundation and its fairly new, we dont have a Charity Number yet. We need to wait. But people can donate. Hopefully we are going to make it. Alan, the boy on the beach, will never be forgotten. Thats an amazing thing to be doing after you have suffered so much heartache and grief. You mentioned your brother who clearly isnt coping at all well. No, i cannot explain it. Just imagine losing your whole family, not just imagine losing your whole family, notjust one, imagine losing your whole family, not just one, two imagine losing your whole family, notjust one, two kids and his wife. Its not easy. But i keep encouraging him. I keep reminding him that maybe god wants him to do something and by opening the Kurdi Foundation to help those innocent children who have nothing to do in this world, expect to have a good life, so i give him hope. Emotionally its not easy for him. Its up and down. Its been two yea rs. Its up and down. Its been two years. Emotionally, the pain, and he is not the only one, there are thousands of families like my brother. They have the same thing. We see this every day. Its happening and its sad, its sad to see the world, we are just sitting and watching and not doing enough. Clearly still very affected, of course. You can see the full interview on our programme page. Last night the summer of madness came to an end. The total Summer Spending by premier league clubs came to £1. A billion. It beat the previous highest figure of £1. 1 billion. The transfer window opened earlier in the summer and its the only time that clubs can make permanent signings until the next opportunity in january. In permanent signings until the next opportunity injanuary. In that period theres been a load of wheeling and dealing, clubs gazumped and players and agents becoming even richer. Lets look at some eye watering deals. Lukaku lu ka ku moved from lukaku moved from everton to Manchester United for £75 million. Morata moved for £60 million. When asked why he shaved his head he said its so children with cancer can have the same haircut as him. Is it time to acknowledge tv and broadcasting rights and money powering into the game is good for football and supporters . Lets talk now to Rachel Anderson mbe, whos had a long career as a football agent and alison bender, whos a football presenter. She was touring the stadiums of london until midnight for espn. Rachel, i saw you putting your hands in the air, at frustration orjoy . Thrilled. It makes the world go around. Its so much money. Its not really. We spend billions on arms. Compared to that, its nothing. And this is a massive entertainment industry. Without question. Tell me when we are talking about £60 million for the sale of a player where does that money go . Well, it will go from the selling club to the buying club. Plus there will be other clubs behind he has previously been with and they will get a divvy up, the fa gets some, the agent might geta up, the fa gets some, the agent might get a pound or two. The selling club doesnt get the full 60. Not normally. Theres normally, you have to take monies out of it. You have to take commissions out of it, you have to take taxes out of it, you have to take taxes out of it, you have to take taxes out of it, you have to take, for example, if the player had been with another clu b if the player had been with another club for if the player had been with another clu b for two if the player had been with another club for two or three years before and a decent club, they would be having a bonus, a substantial bonus out of £60 million. Its a ridiculous amount of money, though, it has to be said. For the last six summers, each summer it has to be said. For the last six summers, each summer it has surpassed itself, this broke the re cord surpassed itself, this broke the record nine days before the window closed. Neymar is too much . 200 million man, these inflated figures sound ridiculous but every year it happens. Obviously, the premier League Rights money has a lot to do with the big spending. Look, he can head a ball. There he goes, look, thats great he is one of the best in world football. Roy keane joked recently, if David Beckham was still playing he would be £1 billion. Its ridiculous. But we do see these figures going up and up every season. Its a package. Its not just the football. People forget how much money is made out of the merchandising and its notjust the fa ct merchandising and its notjust the fact that he is an incredible footballer. He also will bring in a large sum of money from sponsors and merchandising all over the world. You were at the stadium last night, what were fans making of it . you were at the stadium last night, what were fans making of it . I was at chelsea and wembley and ended up at chelsea and wembley and ended up at the emirates, there was frustration there from fans. They started thinking we are going to get good money for sanchez, this is going to come back into the club. We are going to get lemar, we are excited. As the evening went on, they realised that the deal was falling through. They said its the same old story. Its groundhog day, they were starting to get frustrated with the manager, as well. Its this whole almost domino effect. You get one, and the next, if you dont get the first, you dont get the next. Its like buying a house, you have a chain. Sometimes it can be five, six players long. Thats why some of them end up coming right to the end day. We focus on the highest paid. Presumably lower down there are more average footballers still getting a lot of money. Who suddenly have had to uproot their families and move to another club because at the last minute theyve been shifted somewhere else. Does that happen . M can happen. But there are financial benefits by moving as well. Sure. Nobody goes without being compensated in some way. What its done, these crazy prices, it has helped the lower leagues, as well, because money does trickle down. Some extent. Not as much as it should, but it does trickle down. It keeps the whole industry going. And getting bigger and until people stop not wanting to be involved or watch football, it will continue. 0k. Here isa football, it will continue. 0k. Here is a question, there is all this money there and all this money through tv rights and etc, etc, wouldnt it make a lot of sense to reduce ticket prices a little bit so that more people could afford to go to see these incredibly well paid football stars 7 there has certainly been calls for that, and they have these schemes like 20th plenty, but it is supply and demand, so many people want to go, they could charge even more, and it isa go, they could charge even more, and it is a shame, because it is pricing out real football fans who perhaps dont earn these ridiculous salaries. Neymar can earn an average yearly salary in seven minutes, so in the time we have been chatting here, basically. But it doesnt release apprise me any more to be honest, and the other thing about la st honest, and the other thing about last night is the deals that didnt happen. So many were set to happen and could still happen today, because the european window closes today, so diego costa could still leave chelsea and Philippe Coutinho could still leave liverpool. It has a lwa ys could still leave liverpool. It has always been the way, it is just we know about it now. Thank you both very much for coming in.

The Royal Air Force becomes the first branch of the British Military to open up every role to men and women. Well be speaking to the regiments commander to talk us through the decision. With the news heres annita in the bbc newsroom. Thank you, matthew. Kenyas Supreme Court has nullified the result of the countrys president ial election. Judges said there were irregularities that harm to the votes integrity, and ruled that another election must be held within 60 days. The result, which saw the incumbent kenyatta return to power was challenged by the main opposition alliance, which argued it was for gelant. For the first time, in the history of african democratisation, a ruling has been made by a court nullifying irregular elections of a president. This is a precedent setting ruling, very historical. I would like to take the opportunity to thank the Supreme Courtjudges led by the chief justice for doing this for posterity for the people of kenya.

Just quickly, first practice ahead of this weekends italian grand prix has distended, good start the lewis hamilton, he is fastest so far. I will be back with more in newsroom live after 11. How powerful is your vacuum . I cant believe we are about to do this from today, vacuum cleaners using more than 900 watts and emitting more than 80 decibels will be banned when stocks run out in shops, under new eu rules. Anti eu campaigners and cleaning addicts argue that the less powerful models just dont clean as well is that true . We arejoined by we are joined by our environment expert, roger howard in, who will tell us if we can get things just as clea n tell us if we can get things just as clean with newer, less powerful models Roger Harrabin, and by Aggie Mackenzie from how clean is your house . Roger, give us the background on this. The eu has to cut emissions of Carbon Dioxide and keep prices down for consumers, so pa rt keep prices down for consumers, so part of that is forcing manufacturers to make appliances that do the same job as the old appliances, but with less energy. So when all these policy started to be introduced, energy bills have actually gone down, because of the extra Energy Efficiency, even though the actual cost of energy has gone up, the bills are less because we are using less of it. And it is not just vacuum cleaners, it has been happening with fridges, washing machines. Yes, all appliances except toasters, because there was around before the brexit vote, and Civil Servants ministers must have had a word with somebody in brussels, because the toasters legislation was held back because it was thought to be too controversial with those evil europeans who were now even going to control our toasters. And i remember talking to somebody ina and i remember talking to somebody in a Department Store about this who manages the Department Store who pointed out that, were talking about these labels, the Energy Efficiency labels, you get a letter, but now you get a plus, because it really has propelled the industry in a different direction to get more and more energy efficient. A different direction to get more and more energy efficientm absolutely has, we are talking about engineering here, forcing people to do better engineering, and the idea is that ultimately, consumers will benefit, we will have to lay fewer electricity cables, generate less electricity, have a few fewer carbon emissions. Look what they have done to our carpet who has done that . Not very clean at all. We need to get a vacuum cleaner. Roger, maybe. So, lets see, i am going to have a go here. What wattage is yours . I have no idea. Bit rubbish, isnt it . What is your verdict on that one . I give it two out of ten. This is an old one. What does 180 a whats mean . |j out of ten. This is an old one. What does 180 a whats mean . I have no idea. This uses a lot of electricity . The number of wattage ina vacuum electricity . The number of wattage in a vacuum cleaner, the higher the wattage is no indicator of how efficient it will be. Itjust wattage is no indicator of how efficient it will be. It just gives an indication of how much electricity is being used. What is important is the airflow and the suction power, and for years, manufacturers have known this was coming, so they will have been working on technology and design in order to make vacuum cleaners more efficient for the future. Does yours work, roger . Lets give it a go. That is nice and quiet. The other thing is the decibel spain, i would say that is vast to superior. That is very interesting, because technically this should be less efficient because there is more space for the dust to travel than this one. Normally uprights are more efficient than cylinders. This is another old one, so that probably wouldnt be sold any more under the new legislation. The wattage is the key thing. 1200 watts. So this would be banned. And what is that the one down there . This is my handheld at home. I do like a cordless vacuum cleaner, particularly one to use on the floor. The great thing about a cordless is you have only got a certain amount of battery time, see you need to do yourjob really quickly, and when the battery runs out, you cant do any more vacuuming, can you . Is this one of the new ones . It is about two years old, and it fits the new criteria. Lets see how it works. I think you are going to be there for ever i use it for the sofa at home. It is tiny, but for ever i use it for the sofa at home. It is tiny, but i would say that that was just as good as that. It has get a smaller area. Interestingly, it is alleged, and i dont know if this is true or not, but some rather unscrupulous manufacturers have been bringing appliances into the uk and making them very high wattage, because people think oh, 1500 watts, that is powerful, but it has as you said, it has no relationship at all with the amount of suction. How do you choose amount of suction. How do you choose a good vacuum cleaner, then . First of all, are these changes to the rules, i think the conclusion is that they dont necessarily mean that they dont necessarily mean that we are going to have dirtier homes . Absolutely not, and in terms ofa homes . Absolutely not, and in terms of a clean home, get everyone to ta ke of a clean home, get everyone to take their shoes off before they come in. That is the number one rule. Go to the consumer magazines and look at the section that says airflow and pick up efficiency. That is what you want at the end of the day, how well it picks up. Fantastic. I dont know what we are going to do about that mass so far it is only been the woman on her hands and knees, i think you should do that to prove that a quality is alive and well in the bbc after 11 oclock, i will alive and well in the bbc after 11 oclock, iwill i cant alive and well in the bbc after 11 oclock, i will i cant believe i have just used a hoover on air, my mother would be very, very proud indeed. Now, the Royal Air Force has become the first branch of the British Military to open up every role to both men and women. From today it will accept applications from women tojoin the raf regiment its Ground Fighting force. The move follows a decision last year to lift the ban on females serving in close combat roles. Lets talk to air Commodore Frank clifford, who is the head of the raf regiment and Group CaptainWendy Rothery head of raf recruiting and selection a woman already working in the raf. A woman thank you both very much for coming in. How major step is this . The defence secretary said it is a defining moment for the Royal Air Force as we approach our centenary next year. All roles are open to eve ryo ne next year. All roles are open to everyone regardless of gender, ethnicity and sexual orientation, so it isa ethnicity and sexual orientation, so it is a big day. Franklin said, how long have you been in the military . I have been in the military and the raf regiment for 34 years. And if you think back to 34 years ago, could you imagine a step like this . 34 years ago, the day ijoined, no, but a lot has changed in society and a lot has changed in the military. When ijoined a lot has changed in the military. When i joined there a lot has changed in the military. When ijoined there were no female pilots, no females serving aboard ships in the royal navy. Society has changed, the world has changed, and likewise the air force representing the society that we serve is adapting unchanging to meet the service and the people. Has there been a fight to get to this stage within the military . My stereotypical view, it may be as this is unfair, but my stereotypical view is that the military is a relatively conservative with a small c part of society. I wouldnt say a struggle so much, but we need to make sure we operate safely and effectively, and there has been some research, a lot of research into the medical risks encountered by women, so we medical risks encountered by women, so we need to make sure that we can mitigate those as far as possible. Tell us specifically what sort of things you are talking about there . It is physiologically proven that women have a higher incidence of musculoskeletal injuries, so damaged ligaments, and joining the raf regiment is quite physically demanding, so we have had to ensure that we have looked at the medical research to make sure that we are going to mitigate that risk as far as possible. So that then has a knock on impact to a small extent, but a knock on impact to how the medical officials and others work, the sort of things that women are asked to do . Is it the way in which. . The standard is the standard, so women will need to demonstrate the ability to operate at the same level as the men, so it is genderfree. At the same level as the men, so it is gender free. The whole aim of this is to make it absolutely inclusive, it is a gender free activity, the females and males undertake at the same level. Is there still some resistance . There will be still some resistance in society, you said that the military mirrors society. What do you say and perhaps do to those men who are on these bases who are going to be protected now by women as well as men, what do you say to them, those who are concerned about this and say, a woman is not going to be able to do the job . I would disgree. What can you do if people harbour those points . Its leadership for those voids and leading those individuals, making sure third who has changed, why it is changing and also the proof of the concept, make it work, make it work for the Royal Air Force and the defence. So, yes, we are the first to do this. I am proud that we are the first to be doing this within the first to be doing this within the armed forces. Lets make it work. Lean behind this and get it going properly. One of the reasons you are here today and one of the reasons you are talking about this is to publicise the fact you want more women to apply. We do. How do you go about doing that . This is obviously a step forward and may be women watching at the moment who say ididnt women watching at the moment who say i didnt know i could and i will apply. Yet that is also something that society itself will have to get over the fact women are being specifically asked to apply for jobs like this. The raf has more than 50 Career Options available. Women form about 14 at the moment of our overall force, which may sound low given that women are about 50 of the population, so we are keen to increase that. And opening up raf regiment roles mean that women can now apply to do any of the roles that we offer. We are very excited about opening up to a broader pool of talent. Do you have targets you have set in terms of the numbers you wish to recruit, the sort of gender balance you wish to get to . Yes, we do in terms of our intake, our recruiting numbers, we are steadily increasing the number of women we are bringing into the service. We have set ourselves a target of 20 by 2020. Its a stretch target, the Others Services are looking at 15 . We are already more than 15 in intake. As a woman in the military, how would you characterise the change in attitudes towards women in the military over the years . |j change in attitudes towards women in the military over the years . I think its been a very positive move. Its not an issue for the youngsters who are joining not an issue for the youngsters who arejoining the air not an issue for the youngsters who are joining the air force, not an issue for the youngsters who arejoining the airforce, they fully embrace diversity in a way previous generations didnt. We now have women in very senior roles, board level, i think young women can see the Career Opportunities do exist and they can get to the top of the organisation. All right. Thank you both very much for coming in. We have had some comments coming in on the vacuum cleaners. Why dont we ignore the ban and pay the fine like other eu countries . Thats one way of dealing with this. Frank says, its interesting to see the new ruling, worse than that is the noise from garden blowers which carry on co nsta ntly from garden blowers which carry on constantly where he lives. Presumably you would like the European Commission to tell us to cut down on the noise from garden blowers. Andrew says that the eu is banning powerful cleaners, really its banning inefficient cleaners. Peter e mailed to say i do not understand what the Little England brexiteers have against saving money and helping the planet. And an e mail, the eu is looking to the forward where energy is at a premium. There you go. You only have to think backjust a few years ago and youd be amazed how far weve come in the world of technology but what will the technological advances of the future be like, and just how will they impact on our lives . A new programme on bbc three explores how robots are being developed to engage with us on an emotional level, whether it be in the therapy room, stop us from being lonely and even romance. Well be speaking to two people who appear in the programme in a moment, but first lets take a quick look. Racher rachels anxiety has affected her life for almost three years. Shes been avoiding everything from trains to lifts and unfortunately for me todays session is on the 7th floor. Hope you dont mind me sitting here. She wont be able to see you soon. The Virtual Reality experience feels real for people. Its totally immersive. If you take someone into a situation theyve been avoiding evenin a situation theyve been avoiding even in their imagination for a long period of time they get that strong emotional reaction in that situation. I am quickly going to ta ke situation. I am quickly going to take you to a relaxing environment. Michael will be guiding rachel with traditional therapy methods while she is immersed in the virtual environment. Once relaxed the game will take over, sending her into a replica setting of an underground tube. Its going to take you straight there. Dont be disorientated. How does it feel as you walk . We can speak now to james young, who is the presenter of can robots love us, and rochelle blisson, who you saw in that clip. Explain why you were using that Virtual Reality and how it helped . So, i have an anxiety condition and its linked to a fear of being trapped. A lot of people confuse that with claustrophobia. A couple of years ago i was trapped on a tube for a brief time. Of years ago i was trapped on a tube fora brief time. I had of years ago i was trapped on a tube for a brief time. I had a massive anxiety attack and since then i have pretty much been avoiding everything, public transport, lifts, even crowds and new buildings, all sorts of things that make me feel trapped. When i had the chance to appear on this documentary and try this new therapy, i have tried a lot of different therapies and different techniques to cope with my anxiety, sol techniques to cope with my anxiety, so i thought why not, lets give it a try, its something different. You put on the headset. Yeah. What were you looking at . So, it does feel like you are in a game at first and you are looking in this virtual environment, you have headphones on, as well, they have background noise, especially in the tube scenario. It had crowd noise and sound of trains coming and after a while you feel like you are actually on a tube platform and you are going to go on a tube train and you start to feel anxious and you get that feeling and it becomes more realistic you forget you have a headset on and headphones on. It helped . Massively. In the first session as you can see when you watch the documentary, i get in a lift the very same day, maybe an hour after i started. That you couldnt do before . No, i had been avoiding them for years, i dont think i had been on a tube for about three years. Yeah, within three sessions. Did you come here on the tube . I didnt today, i ghetto in the lift, though, and i have been getting on tubes since. Slowly but surely, its not a miracle cure, i dont think there is one out there, its been the most successful therapy i have ever tried. James, you are the presenter. Of course your arm is the obvious thing here. Is this a robotic arm . It kind of is. Its an exploration into personal identity and expressing myself through my missing limb basically. Its an alternative limb. And how has it helped you, or has it helped you, i presume it has . Its kind of, its made me interested in exploring the relationship between humans and technology and its led towards this programme in trying to discover whether technology can engage with us in more human ways and maybe more positively affect our lives than at the moment. Can it, because it obviously doesnt look particularly human, can Technology Help us in that way . I think, if you think about it, its kind of technology is created by human beings, its the one thing that differentiates us from other animals, we use tools and different parts of technology and we discover qualities about the world, properties about the world, so its kind of, it is a very human thing to be doing and its kind of, i see in the future us engaging more with technology when it comes to our bodies, especially when it comes to probably our recovery and health. |j understand when you move your fingers it affects the muscles in your chest, can you tell us about that. Yeah, last year in november had surgery that basically, instead of the nerves not going anywhere that used to go to my left arm, theyve been chopped basically and moved to different points around my chest and theyre currently rehabilitating, growing into target areas of the muscles. Now when i think about doing Different Things with my left hand it activates muscles around my chest. Those things can be picked up in the future and fed into a bionic arm which is not happening with this one. In the future you think they could use those muscles in a bionic arm and the brain would be able to communicate with them . Essentially, because the computer of the arm would pick up what i am intending to do. My intentions, its completely natural, i am doing the same thing i would be, my brains doing the same thing as if i was thinking about moving my right arm. Tell us about some moving my right arm. Tell us about some of the other people you met in the programme. Theres some really interesting stuff in there. We have a variety of different technological feats. Some of them not suitable for breakfast, if you want to check it out, its on bbc three. It has a mixed arrangement. There is one which is similar to rochelle experience, its a Mental Health ai, you can speak to instead of a human being, maybe as well as a human being, maybe as well as a human being, but it helps you talk you talk to a computer, but it kind of with that opportunity people tend to open up more and give more information and that, al can measure responses and give you help accordingly and its really interesting. Rochelle, obviously, you rediscovered the old world through technology. Were you surprised about that . through technology. Were you surprised about that . I was really surprised. I have not really tried Virtual Reality before and i am not a massive tecchie, i am probably not as interested as you are, it shocked me. In the documentary i burst into tea rs me. In the documentary i burst into tears after the first session because it worked so well and then i got in the lift and within three sessions the therapist actually went right, lets go on a tube and having avoided them for three years, to get that kind of reaction so quickly is something i never experienced before andi something i never experienced before and i was so shocked but really pleased. James, you mentioned this isafamily pleased. James, you mentioned this is a family show and it is, so lets not go too far on this, but in the introduction we said there could be romantic involvement between a human being and a robot. Do you really believe that . Well, it seems apparent that some people Love Technology in its current state and so we technology in its current state and so we have the difficult scenario where people are trying to create things that are in human form and essentially theyre taking that form and people automatically imbu them with qualities, even if you talk to Something Like sira or alexia, you build upa Something Like sira or alexia, you build up a thought about their personality, or shes not listening to me, or whatever, personality, or shes not listening to me, orwhatever, its personality, or shes not listening to me, or whatever, its kind of, i think people naturally imbu with technology becoming more complex that relationship is going to become more complex. We are already on that road it would seem. Thank you both very much for coming in. We have had a comment on that military story. David, as always the raf are ahead of the game, well done. Bbc news room live is up next. Thank you for your company today. Have a good day. Goodbye. Now we are into september, and with clear skies overnight last night it was a chilly start this morning. But for many of us, a glorious start with lots of blue skies and sunshine. This was the satellite image, more cloud further north across scotland and Northern Ireland, but sunny spells into the afternoon. Elsewhere, fairweather cloud will develop, largely dry for most of us, but showers developing down the eastern side of england. Top temperature 17 21. This evening and tonight, again with clear skies, temperatures will fall away quite quickly. In towns and cities, temperatures staying up a 10 11d. In the countryside, we could see some places down to 1 3dc. A chilly start to saturday, but plenty of sunshine throughout the day. One or two showers, but for many of us it is dry and temperatures of 17 21dc. Bye bye.
