Coming up in the sport later in the hour on bbc news. Former arsenal captain Laurent Koscielny has been accused of disrespecting the club after using a gunners shirt in a video to announce his signing with bordeaux. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. The uk Food Industry has asked the government to waive Competition Laws to help cope with possible shortages if britain leaves the European Union without a deal in october. Existing rules prohibit suppliers and retailers discussing supply or pricing, but industry bosses say they will need to Work Together to prevent shortages and other problems. Today, bbc news is taking a close look at the implications of a no deal brexit. The phrase refers to the uk leaving the European Union with no formal agreement in place about the future relationship between the uk and the eu in other words, cutting ties immediately. It means there would be no transition period, where rules and regulations would remain largely the same while talks are held about a trade deal. If a deal is not agreed, leaving without one is the legal default, unless parliament prevents it. Our correspondent, victoria fritz, is ata birmingham marketand has been talking to suppliers about why the Food Industry wants a change to the regulations. The unlikely front line in the latest battle over brexit. Half of the food we consume, we buy in from abroad, mostly from the eu. The industry is calling on the government to relax competition rules so companies can better coordinate britains food supply. As we understand it, this is a power that the secretary of state for business has. It was used last, i think, during the financial crisis when there were talks between the banks. So i dont think its a very difficult thing for government to do, though obviously it is a big signal of no deal preparedness. We have mushrooms here which have come from poland. Marks business is the oldest fruit and veg wholesaler in europe. He has been planning for brexit for months, assurances from the government or not. We spoke to logistical companies over in france, in spain. We made all the necessary attachments here. We spoke to suppliers, weve done all the paperwork. And we are ready to roll with it now. Whether it is deal or no deal, we are ready, and i dont think, the supply chain as it is, i dont think well have a problem at all. For some here its notjust about managing risk its about seizing opportunity. No deal brexit, come the 31st of october good or bad for your business . Necessary, i do believe. Unless a deal can be struck on favourable terms for britain, it looks like it will be, regretfully, necessary. I dont think it will make a lot of difference to us in the fish industry. Our british water areas are going to be expanded again so we have more control over british seas and also a lot of the stuff that we buy is from outside the eu, india and asia and that. So it shouldnt make that much difference. The consensus here is that there could be longer term benefits to being out of the eu. But todays warning is about how to keep shelves stocked in the meantime for the busiest time of year for the industry, the run up to christmas. I dont want no deal. I want a deal with a big trading partner. But, believe me, brussels have got to understand they have a responsibility here and theyve got to stop being in their bunker, blaming britain. And once we know in business where we are, you leave it to us. The government says it is working closely with the Food Industry. But, for businesses here and across the country, the detail of that support will be crucial. Victoria fritz, bbc news, birmingham. Our economics editor faisal islam is here. This is striking. What is going on here, that leaders of the Food Industry, perhaps sometimes competitors, are saying, we may well need to Work Together . They have been asking the government about this for months, and the government have been engaged in discussions about how serious any disruption could be since a year ago, but then they made a assumption that, although there may be some impacts on specific food availability and pricing, there will not be an overall problems with food supply. That was their assumption. I think what we are getting from the Food Industry, from suppliers and retailers, as they are less optimistic and they have to plan for an eventuality, as this is quite striking, the idea they will have two coordinate with competitors, but a truck that is stuck here ends up going to barnsley and another one goes to cornwall and another one goes to cornwall and another one goes to cornwall and another one goes to edinburgh, and that is illegal, so they need cast iron legal guarantees that, if they have to do that, and its not a prediction they necessarily have but, if they have to do that, they will not face competition fines or accusations of breaking the law. There have been president s for this, we have seen it in the fuel and defence industries, and the retailers felt they had some government coverfor retailers felt they had some government cover for raising milk prices to help Dairy Farmers about 15 years ago but we ended up getting huge fines. But the government, on the one hand, want to tell everybody that everything is in order but, on the other hand, it wants the private sector to get a ready for no deal. Those two objectives sometimes conflict, and this is one of those times. Thank you. Lets turn our attentions to other parts of the country, how other areas could be affected include terms in relation to any no deal brexit. James shaw is in the uks busiest fishing port at peterhead. First, lets go tojohn campbell at a food business at banbridge in Northern Ireland which trades across the border with the Irish Republic. John. John. I am at a depot owned by one of Northern Irelands biggest agri food businesses, turning over more than £1 billion per year. Businesses like this are particularly vulnerable in the event of no deal, mainly because of the amount of trait they do across the border. Food products can cross the border. Food products can cross the border into the Irish Republic several times for processing and packaging before reaching consumers but, with no deal, if there were it immediately high tariffs, that would very quickly make that trade uneconomical. In fact, the Northern Irish department for the economy thinks some of that trade could simply disappear overnight, putting thousands of jobs simply disappear overnight, putting thousands ofjobs at risk. The business has been able to mitigate that somewhat, but only by spending £20 million buying a business across the border in the republic of ireland, something not available for smallerfirms. James ireland, something not available for smaller firms. James shaw is at the uks biggest fishing port in scotland. The fishing industry is hugely important in this part of scotland, and the fish landed here la st scotland, and the fish landed here last year were worth £202 million. I think it is generally the case in the industry that there is quite a strong feeling in favour of brexit, with people here feeling the eu has damaged interests of the fishing industry in scotland and elsewhere in the uk, and its also the case that many people probably would be ready to weather and accept a no deal brexit, short term pain, short term disruption to their industry, as they see it, in exchange for long term gain. But thats different in other parts of scotland, and the shellfish industry oii scotland, and the shellfish industry on the west coast of scotland are trading mangosteen is and things like that to continental europe, things like france and spain, and they think they would be disrupted if they were stopped at borders and checkpoints. That could mean their products were no longer viable in the market. Thank you to james shaw and john campbell. Later in the programme, well be looking at how a no deal brexit could affect tourism and the import of some of our favourite foods from the rest of europe. British airways has cancelled almost 100 short haul flights because of technical problems affecting its check in systems. Thousands of travellers are facing delays and long queues. Leigh milner reports from heathrow. This was the scene at half past eight this morning in terminal 5 at heathrow airport. Hundreds of passengers queueing at check in to find out whats happening to their flights. Then, at nine oclock, this happened. Unfortunately, i apologise, but weve had an it system failure this morning. We are currently unable to do a number of activities through our it systems. That does mean that any short haul flights this morning are currently cancelled. We are being told our flight has been cancelled. Its not going to be rebooked today. And we basically were told we either have to book a hotel for the night or go home. Our next flight, weve been told, is friday at 5pm. And we are probably going to go home and rebook. We have been at the airport going up and down for about three hours. And we have concluded the best thing to do is to leave because were going to be rebooked on anything and we will need to book a whole new flight. we are we are not going to be rebooked. And our bag has gone, so its a complete nightmare. The problem is a system failure. Two, to be exact. One with the booking system, another with flight departures. Passengers want to be able to use mobile apps and Internet Services to book flights and check in. But in order to deliver those, a lot of the underlying it systems that they are running on are quite old, legacy, and they probably have not been upgraded for quite a few years. And one of the reasons for that is airlines are under huge pressure to cut costs. For anyone who has cancelled short haul flight with British Airways today, you are being told to either go home or check into a hotel. You will be reimbursed but you will have to re book your flights online. British airways say the problem isnt global but it has affected a number of airports across the country including heathrow. With an update due later this afternoon, its going to be a long day for many passengers waiting for a short haul flight. Leah milner, bbc news. Plans have been announced to reform pension rules for senior staff in the nhs in england and wales. Some clinicians were refusing to work extra shifts because changes to Pension Regulations meant they were being hit by bigger tax bills. The rules have been blamed for making it difficult to fill rotas and bring down waiting lists. Our health correspondent, nick triggle, reports. The pensions dispute has been wreaking havoc in the health service, with hospitals reporting their waiting lists were going up because doctors were refusing to do extra shifts. Senior medics have blamed changes to pension rules, which meant some had been facing huge tax bills. In 2010 11, workers were only taxed if their pensions grew by £255,000 a year. That has now been reduced to £110,000, and dropped still further for the highest earners. Around one third of senior doctors and gps may be affected. Theresa mays government put forward plans last month to allow doctors to reduce payments into their pension. But, after criticism the measures did not go far enough, the new administration has had a rethink. It is now proposing greater flexibility, and allowing doctors to take any pension payments their employer would have paid as cash. The plans apply to england and wales. It has become a significant problem. It is unfair that, if you do overtime, you should get a big tax bill for it, that often has wiped out the increased pay. So we are changing those rules, which means there will be more flexibility for doctors. The government has also said the way Public Sector pensions are taxed will be reviewed by the treasury. The move has pleased the british medical association. We think it is a positive step by the government, it was a necessary step, because we have a ludicrous situation at the moment where doctors are effectively punished for going into work and doing their normal hours, or doing extra shifts. The government said it would put out a formal consultation in the next few weeks, and have a new system in place by april. In the meantime, doctors are being allowed to opt out of the Pension Scheme for this year, to encourage them to start doing more overtime. A future Labour Government would not block a second Scottish Independence referendum, according to the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell. In an interview at the Edinburgh Fringe festival, which appeared to contradict the view of scottish labour leader, he said any decision about holding a vote would be up to the Scottish Parliament. Our political correspondent, nick eardley, is in westminster. The comments hes made in edinburgh seem to have provoked an almighty ride. An almighty row. Seem to have provoked an almighty ride. An almighty row. Yes, they expose a deep split in the labour party. The Scottish Labour Party has been saying for months, if the party got into power at westminster, it would say no to demands for independence referendum. John mcdonnell is saying the exact opposite, that he doesnt think its for westminster to dictate to the Scottish Parliament so, if he was in power, he wouldnt block another independence referendum. Thats caused fury in the scottish party, and the scottish labour leader, richard leonard, has made it clear he doesnt think there is an appetite for another independence vote, despite polls suggesting support for independence has gone up in recent weeks. Labour mps are furious, accusing mr mcdonnell of making up policy on the hoof. The big question here is, is it part of a wider policy to allow labour some ground to potentially stay in power with snp support if they were in a Hung Parliament . Both parties insist, no, but with this move mr mcdonnell has opened a door. Residents of Whaley Bridge in derbyshire are hoping to hear shortly whether they will be allowed back into their homes a week after they were told to leave because of the risk of flooding from a nearby damaged dam. Fiona trott is in Whaley Bridge. Mixed emotions here because the residents from those 55 homes were able to attend last night and they said that they were delighted, one woman said she couldnt wait to get a good night sleep. But then the rest of the residents tell us today they are frustrated and the mood has been lifted slightly by the fact that some people have already gone back and they feel the end is in sight. The meeting is taking place between Emergency Services and the Environment Agency at the moment. Getting the letters engineers down at the wall, is the reservoir robust enough to withstand further rainfall, as we have a weather warning in place for later in the week. Then residents will be told if they can return to their homes and they can return to their homes and they tell us that will be through social media. In the meantime hundreds are waiting to find out if finally signs like that can be removed. Fiona, thank you. Our top story this lunchtime.

Every year millions of britons visit countries across the European Union enjoying visa free travel, health care and mobile roaming could that change if theres a no deal brexit . Our correspondent James Reynolds has been to the amalfi coast in italy to find out more. Right now the ticket check for a ferry ride is about the most difficult procedure british tourists in amalfi have to face. But if there is no deal, life may suddenly get much more complicated. Dont let that put you off, insist italians. Britain is a great nation, skipper felipe tells me. We need it. The Johnson Family are from staffordshire. They swapped worrying about exam results for worrying about their next trips to europe. Id like more information about the implications of a no deal brexit, so the hard facts of what that would mean in terms of both impact at home but also impact if we choose to travel abroad. You know, what additional documentation, different passports, queues at airports, nobody likes queues at the airport. There is nothing written down to say, you know, you need to do this, this, and this if you are travelling abroad again. The biggest worry would be about a huge increase in cost when being abroad, i guess, and then increasing prices in the uk as well. 18 year old maisie reveals her plan to deal with the possible return of mobile phone roaming charges. It will be more difficult but i will probably still make mum pay for it make mum pay for it . mum pays sorry for british tourists, life in amalfi is already more expensive. The pound has fallen, so a 6 euro lemonade from this store now costs about the same in pounds. Could you give a discount for british people . No, no. Thank you, madam, enjoy amalfi. Thank you. For years a holiday here was straightforward. Now british people who have booked for the end of the year dont yet know what they might have to go through, nor how much more it may all cost. James reynolds, bbc news, on italys amalfi coast. Europes largest pork producer, danish crown, has told the bbc that britain could suffer shortages of bacon in the event of a no deal brexit. The threat of tariffs, potential disruption at ports and the low value of the pound could all affect exports of danish pork products, asjenny hill has been finding out. Danish born and bred for the british breakfast table. For denmarks pig farmers the uk market has been solid, dependable. They are unsure now, seeking out other customers. In case a no deal brexit pulls their pork from british shelves. I am a little worried, but we have had three years to prepare for this, so i think we are well prepared. We have made a very special product for the uk market. I think it would be very sad if we cannot sell it for the englishmen any more danish . Ah, danish. Tempting british taste buds for generations. Denmark is the biggest supplier of pork products in the uk. Satisfying a demand that british farmers cannot meet alone. Danish bacon is big business in denmark. This Processing Plant purpose built for the uk market. That was before the prospect of no deal and import tariffs. Now sterling is low, uncertainty is high. Already they are exporting less and looking for other customers. Of course we need to look at the alternatives because if you look at the rhetoric coming out of the british government, then it is do or die. What does that mean for the british consumer . I think it will mean more expensive products. Could it mean empty shelves . Quite possibly. No time to lose for the bacon bound for britain. Goods roll in and out with no customs checks, for now. You really get the sense of how every second counts. No wonder they want to know here whether britain is bluffing about a no deal, and no wonder. They say such a scenario could have such far reaching consequences, right down to what we eat and where it comes from. That report from jenny hill. Sporadic protests have broken out in indian administered kashmir, following the governments decision to strip the area of its special status. The disputed territory is under a government imposed security lockdown but theres fear and anger as information begins to filter through. Our correspondent Yogita Limaye has just arrived in the city of srinagar in indian kashmir, and sent this update. Its the third day that kashmir remains in lockdown, but sporadic protests have begun to break up now. In a particularly restive part of srinagar, every evening, protesters are coming out, pelting stones, shouting anti india slogans, and Security Forces have been using pellet guns to contain the violence. There are also reports that clashes have been breaking out in southern kashmir as well, but these do remain quite small and sporadic at the moment. There are a number of reasons for that. One of the big reasons is what you can see behind me, literally at every street corner, there are armed soldiers, barbed wire, checkpoints, you are asked to show your identity, where you are going, why you are going there. Hundreds of thousands of extra troops have been deployed in what is already one of the most militarised regions in the world. The other big reason is that phone lines have been cut off for the past three days now, which means people are not able to communicate with each other. In many areas, Television Services are also not available, which means news of what has happened in delhi is still only filtering in here. From what we have been able to see in srinagar, there is some movement of people and vehicles, but we have been told the picture is quite different in other parts of kashmir, people staying off the roads altogether. In fact, there are rules actually in place right now which dont allow more than four people together in a place at a time. 15 million gas and electricity customers will see their bills reduced as a result of a change in the energy price cap. The typical annual charge from october will go down by £75, because of lower prices in the wholesale market. Our personal finance correspondent Simon Gompertz explains. The cap on gas and electricity prices was brought in to protect people who stay on high, standard charges. It was actually put up in april to help suppliers cope with rising world prices. Now those companies will face a bit more of a squeeze. 11 Million People are on standard variable tariffs and they will see the £75 reduction. About 4 Million People are on what we call prepayment metre caps, they will see a slightly smaller reduction ofjust over £25. But again there will be some reductions to help them through the winter months. British gas complains that the cap will cost it £300 million this year. But the regulator says it is forcing companies to be more efficient. The cap applies per unit that you use and what that means at the moment is that a typical family pays no more than £1254 a year for gas and electricity. But it is going to come down from october to £1179 as a maximum, hence the drop of £75. But it will still be the case that the more energy you use, the more you pay. It makes me wonder what they have been doing up to this point in time that they can make this change. £75 doesnt really do much. It doesnt really save like £1000 that you can use to go on holiday or something. The cap does not apply to the much cheaper deals available if you look for a fixed Rate Contract usually available for one or two years. And some worry that people will not bother to shop around like this if they know there is a maximum anyway. I think people should not be distracted by that and not believe that this is great and they can just do nothing about it. This is a saving of £75 but switching in the market can save £250, £300 below that price so that is what the consumer should be doing. The cut will not make much difference before christmas, it is worth less than £1. 50 per week on average, it will be well into the autumn when it kicks in. But any help with energy bills will be welcome. Simon gompertz, bbc news. British viewers are rapidly switching from traditional broadcast tv to Online Streaming Services such as netflix, according to new research. The media regulator ofcom says the fall in tv viewing is accelerating, and its calling for a National Debate about the future of Public Service broadcasting. Rory cellan jones has this report. Tv is changing fast, and so are our viewing habits. From youtube, to netflix, to iplayer, we have much more choice of what to watch and when. And ofcom says nearly half of all uk households now pay for at least one on demand service. Broadcast tv on a standard set still accounts for most of our viewing, but it is declining at a faster rate. In 2012, the average person watched four hours of broadcast tv a day. Last year, that had fallen to three hours and 12 minutes. For 16 to 24 year olds, the figure was much lower, an hour and 25 minutes. I tend to watch netflix, yeah, those kind of things. More on demand things, i dont really watch live tv any more, other than the occasional soap. You go on the main channels, and most of it is documentaries. Theres hardly anything thats worth watching, if you like, to what there used to be. What do you watch . Um. What do we watch . I dont know, really, nothing. Anything we do watch, we do through netflix. We watch. Or iplayer, yeah. Major tv events, like the finale of line of duty, can still attract a major audience more than 9 Million People tuned into this. But uk broadcasters are being massively outspent. Netflix will have 15 billion, thats over £12 billion, to spend this year on new content, many times whats available for new uk programming. The media regulator says Public Service broadcasting is worth preserving. I think we gain huge benefits from uk, home grown and produced content, which reflects the lives of british people back to them. The Research Shows viewers are still pretty satisfied with the quality of television, but more and more say Online Services are their main way of viewing, and four in ten can imagine not watching broadcast tv at all in five years time. Rory cellan jones, bbc news. A major Music Festival in cornwall has been cancelled just hours before it was due to open, because of Severe Weather warnings. More than 50,000 people were expected at the boardmasters festival in newquay, where florence and the machine and foals were due to headline at the weekend. Our correspondent fiona lamdin is there. A lot of disappointed people . Very much so and hear the sun is out and the beaches packed and surfers are in the water, hard to understand why it has been cancelled. But this is the surfing side of this festival but across the bay at Watergate Bay is where the music and camping were meant to be taking place and that is perched on a cliff. The met office this weekend have issued warnings about storms and rain and strong wind and they say it is just too dangerous to have people camping on the cliff. Yesterday the organisers, police and met office had meetings to decide what to do and say they had not made the decision lightly. They had to turn away 30,000 people but they may decision at 11 oclock last night and people are disappointed because they had already made the journey year and then had to go straight home. So many disappointed people here but the surfing side of it is still open. Thejudges are the surfing side of it is still open. The judges are watching over there but unless you have somewhere to stay the advice is to please stay away. And we have live updates online about the cancellation of that festival and all the latest travel
