Have englands hopes of drawing level with australia in the ashes been dashed by the weather . And coming up on bbc news, referee Stephanie Frappart will make history as the first woman to take charge of a major european match, as liverpool play chelsea in the super cup. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. The Prime Minister has hit back at mps seeking to block a no deal brexit, accusing them of engaging in a terrible collaboration with the eu. Borisjohnson said the more eu leaders thought parliament could stop britain leaving without a deal, the less likely they were to compromise. The former chancellor Philip Hammond has accused the Prime Minister of trying to wreck any chance of a new brexit deal by making demands brussels could never accept and warned leaving without a deal would be a betrayal of the 2016 referendum result. 0ur Political Correspondent nick eardley reports. Battle lines are being drawn for the latest brexit showdown, and the key players are getting their lines ready. A Prime Minister adamant we are leaving the eu at the end of 0ctober, deal or no deal. A former chancellor who says no deal would be a disaster and it is not what people voted for. Leaving the eu without a deal would bejust as much voted for. Leaving the eu without a deal would be just as much a betrayal of the referendum result is not leaving at all. The british people were offered a proposition that we could leave the European Union while having a close relationship, they were told it would be the easiest deal ever done, and all the evidence points to people wanting to maintain a close trading relationship. Go buy some tory mps are worried that the strategy in here is making nodeal more likely. They blame people like dominic cummings, Boris Johnsons key adviser, for demanding too much from europe. Pivoting to say that the backstop has to go in its entirety, a huge chunk of the Withdrawal Agreement just scrapped, is effectively a wrecking tactic. The people behind these know that that means there will be no deal. By some in government are furious. 0ne source accused mr hammond of doing yours bidding for them. The Prime Minister accused some in parliament of collaborating with europe. The situation we are in, the fact that we missed the deadline shows that mr hammond wasnt very effective at preparing us for no deal, he wasnt getting the country in ship shape. I have no idea what his motivations are, buti have no idea what his motivations are, but i do know that when he was chancellor, our policy was that no deal was better than a bad deal. Government preparations go on, ministers met again to discuss getting ready for extra day. But many mps are discussing their own strategies too, how to block the government if it does try to leave without ideal. The speaker of the house of commons, john bercow, has said he will fight any attempt to lock them out. He told an audience in edinburgh, parliament will be heard and nobody is going to get away, as far as i am concerned, with stopping that happening. It sets the scene stopping that happening. It sets the scene for what could be the most important brexit tussle yet microbe three years on from the referendum, senior politicians are still split. Soon, though, a decision will have to be made. And we can speak to nick in westminster now. This is much more than a tussle, this is battle lines being drawn, isnt it . It absolutely is, a reminder to the Prime Minister that when mps eventually return from their summer break next month, he faces an almighty battle in parliament, because it is notjust Philip Hammond, 20 other tory mps, many of them former ministers, saying today that they also have concerns with the Prime Ministers strategy, that his red lines are taking us down and increasingly inevitable path to a no deal brexit. But at the same time there is no sign of mrjohnson budging, he said again today in a live event on facebook that no matter what, the uk leaves in october the 31st, using some pretty inflammatory language, saying that those who are working in parliament to try to stop no deal are guilty of collaboration with europe in the brexit process. It all, as you say, sets up the battle lines for these huge political battle in parliament in a few weeks time. You will have come on one hand, those who say the uk voted to leave, the public had their say, and Parliament Must now follow through. 0n the other hand, you will have those who say this isnt what people voted for, nobody voted for no deal, and we need to try harder to get a new agreement with brussels. And at the moment it is just not clear who will win. Nick, thank you, nick ea rdley will win. Nick, thank you, nick eardley there in westminster. A postmortem examination is under way in malaysia to try to establish how a teenager from london died during a family holiday. The body of nora quoirin, who was 15, was found yesterday, ten days after she went missing from a jungle resort. Her family have released a statement thanking the hundreds of people whod been searching the area. 0ur reporter howard johnson, sent this report. A senior pathologist arrived at the hospital in seremban this morning to begin a postmortem examination of noras body. She was found by a group of volunteer hikers around a mile away from the dusun resort, from where she went missing. According to police, her unclothed body was found beside a stream in a hilly area of a palm oil plantation. The area had previously been scoured by malaysian search and rescue workers. Of course, this is a very highly traumatic situation. Its the loss of a daughter and child, and naturally the traumatic levels are very high. It so difficult to describe, but theyre really distraught in grief, yeah . And i feel the same, to lose a child, yeah, its terrible. The teenager, who lived with her parents in london, had been missing for ten days. Nora quoirins family first alerted the authorities to her disappearance the morning after theyd checked into the resort for a two week holiday. Noras father, sebastien, discovered her bed empty and a downstairs window open. The family have always insisted, given noras learning difficulties, it is very unlikely she would have walked off alone. Its been a long, frustrating day for people waiting to find out the cause of death of nora. What we found out today is that the senior pathologist studying the body has spent at least eight hours. We are expecting to find out more details shortly in a police press conference. The Malaysian Police have always treated noras disappearance as a missing persons case. In a Statement Released to the media today, the quoirin family said nora had brought people together from france, ireland, britain and malaysia, united in their love and support for her she has truly touched the whole world. Howard johnson, bbc news, malaysia. Hong kong police have condemned pro democracy activists for detaining two people during protests at the territorys airport. The police said the captives, one a journalist from mainland china, were tied up, assaulted and humiliated. Beijing has stepped up its criticism of the protesters. 0ur china correspondent Stephen Mcdonell is in hong kong. Real tensions still. Yes, absolutely. Although there would now only be a handful of pro democracy activists inside the airport, these new security measures have effectively put an end to the possibility of having these rallies inside the terminal at least. That is because now you need to have a passport and a travel itinerary in order to get access to the building. Those few protesters who are down on the arrivals level, once they leave, they wont be able to get back in again, and so the protest movement, the pro democracy movement, will not be able to rebuild their ranks. It doesnt mean, in theory, you cant have a protest outside the building, but even without this new security in place, many activists have decided not to return to the airport today after the shocking scenes we saw last night, violent clashes, including at one point a policeman having his truncheon removed, and he was bashed by militant pro democracy protesters. He pulled out his service revolver, and ifled. I think scenes like that have shocked people, even within the pro democracy movement, and i have had to try to recalibrate their strategy in order to get people, the general public, back onside. Thank you very much. Rail users are facing further increases in ticket prices from january, with costs for commuters set to rise by almost 3 . Rises in regulated fares, including season tickets on most commuter routes and some off peak Long Distance journeys, are linked to inflation forjuly. This morning, the office for national stastics said last months retail price index rose by 2. 8 . As a result, many commuters will see season ticket prices go up by more than £100 from january. 0ur correspondent Richard Lister is at kings cross. What is the reaction to this . Yeah, commuters are not really particularly happy, simon, this affects just under half of all rail fa res, affects just under half of all rail fares, and if you have a ticket from gloucester to birmingham, it is going to go up £119. Barrow in furness to present in about £117 increase, edinburgh to glasgow, £114, and if you have a season ticket from the south east in and out of london, an average of about £122. That is at a time when commuters are saying they are having to deal with overcrowded trains and a service disruption, and figures show that the level of networks delays was at its highest level for 13 years, and a survey of rail commuters show that only about a third of them think the existing fa res third of them think the existing fares that they pay for season tickets represent value for money, and today the Watchdog Group transport focus said many Rail Passengers would be mystified that rail fares passengers would be mystified that railfares should be passengers would be mystified that rail fares should be going passengers would be mystified that railfares should be going up at all, let alone 2. 8 . Now, the government points to such measures asa government points to such measures as a new railcard for 16 and 17 year olds which will cut their ties in half, it says that is one way which people can find no offence, but the rail minister, chris heaton harris, said that it is tempting to say fares should never rise but the truth is that if we stop investing in our railway, we will never see it improve. At kings cross station, case in point, there isa £1. 2 cross station, case in point, there is a £1. 2 billion programme of investment on the rail Service North of here to improve that in the Rail Passenger groups is that there are 7000 new carriages coming on stream, 6400 new services coming on stream in the early 2020s. Richard lister, thank you very much. The us rapper asap rocky has been found guilty of assaulting a teenager in a brawl in stockholm injune. The case attracted International Attention after donald trump called for his release from custody. Maddy savage is in the swedish capital. This has happened while we have been on air, bring us up to speed. Yes, during the last few minutes we have heard that asap rocky and two others who were on trial have been found guilty of assault following a fight here in stockholm at the end of june. The judgment ruled here in stockholm at the end of june. Thejudgment ruled that here in stockholm at the end of june. The judgment ruled that it was not possible to say that they had acted in self defence but it did say that it was also not possible to prove whether or not bottles were used in a fight, that was a key aspect of the evidence during the three day trial, three weeks ago. But asap rocky and two others will not be required to return to sweden, they have been given a suspended sentence and ordered to pay damages. Here is how the case unfolded. Im going to need you to keep praying for me. A us hip hop artist who was trying to raise his profile on a european summer tour. Asap rocky is now a household name in sweden after one of the most high profile court cases here in years. Were not trying go to jail. The rapper was arrested in early july after getting into a fight outside a burger bar. He was accused of pushing a teenager to the ground and hitting him. We dont want no problems with these boys. But asap rocky posted an Instagram Video filmed by one of his entourage which suggested he had reacted after his group was repeatedly followed by two men. Sweden is a great country. President trump got involved in the case while asap rocky was in detention ahead of his trial. He phoned the swedish Prime Minister to try to secure the rappers release. Even though sweden doesnt have a bail system. And he complained on twitter when his efforts didnt go to plan, writing, give asap rocky his freedom. Then the us leader flew in this top diplomat to watch the trial in stockholm, robert 0brien, a lawyer who usually deals with hostage situations for the us. During the trial, the court looked through more than 500 pages of evidence. The prosecution showed pictures of the injured teenager and claimed asap rocky had hit him with glass bottles. Asap rockys lawyer argued they had acted in self defence and said the victims wounds were not serious enough to have been because that way. The rappers fans already declared it a victory when the judge released the group from detention immediately after the trial. A sign that a long jail sentence was unlikely. But despite his freedom and his increased fame, this clearly was not the summer he was hoping for. It isa it is a quarter past one, our top story this lunchtime the Prime Minister has hit back at mps seeking to block a no deal brexit, accusing them of engaging in a terrible collaboration with the eu. Coming up at lords as the ashes ways to resume, they cant test so far is cricketer versus the rain guess he was winning coming up on bbc news. Bad weather has disrupted the start of the second ashes test at lords. Play was delayed due to heavy rain with the forecast not looking good for the day. This week marks 50 years since widespread violence broke out in Northern Ireland. The conflict which became known as the troubles lasted for three decades with more than 3000 people killed. Northern ireland now has a high rate of mental illness, attributed in part to the trauma of those affected and researchers are warning that children are now inheriting the stress suffered by the older generation. 0ur ireland correspondent, chris page, has been speaking to some of those who are still recovering. Bomb blast. Half a century ago life in Northern Ireland took on a grim new abnormality. Shootings, bombings and riots became routine. The dreadful rhythm of murders and maimings continued for 30 years. While the conflict can feel a long way in the past, the legacy of trauma is very present. Denise mullen is one of thousands of People Living with it. Loyalist gunmen attacked her parents at theirfamily home in 1975. Her father dennis was killed. Denise was just four. I can see my mother going out through the kitchen window. I can remember going back up the hallway and standing at the side of the cot looking at my brother, he was 13 months at the time. I then went back and sat with my father, which we now know was for over two hours. And i was covered, my nightdress was covered in his blood. She has a form of post Traumatic Stress disorder which means a certain smell brings back memories, suddenly, and terribly. Once that smell comes over me its like taking a panic attack. I take the shakes, my legs become weak. My mind, just everything becomes a blank. And until that passes, now it can pass within a few seconds, it can pass within a few minutes, but for the rest of the day youd would just think you were beaten black and blue. Mental health is a much more public issue now than it was during the decades of violence. Members of the Emergency Services regularly witnessed appalling scenes, but werent offered official help. Bob pollock remembers what happened after he and some fellow firefighters were caught up in a bomb. As we were getting to the station one of the d0s, one of the Senior Officers said, right, into the officers mess. And he poured us all a brandy and said, drink that and then go home. That was it. And the boys were back on duty within three or four days. The lack of support at the time partly explains why the psychological impact has only been revealed in recent years. Researchers have found 39 of people in Northern Ireland experienced a traumatic event during the troubles. At least 14 have Mental Health difficulties linked to the conflict. Post Traumatic Stress disorder is particularly common, almost 9 have definitive signs of the condition. And experts are concerned about whats called transgenerational trauma, the effect on the children of today. Its about the parents own Mental Health, its about the community that that child is raised in. Its also about the legacy of the conflict in communities. So we have communities that are affected by unemployment, theres drug use, theres low levels of educational attainment. And all of these things come together to create an environment that can be quite toxic for a child. Northern ireland has the highest rate of Mental Health problems and indeed suicides in the uk. But it also has proportionally lower levels of funding for Mental Health. The haunted history of this place is still posing huge challenges for its future. The survivors who have chosen to talk about their grief often didnt do so for a long time. Many have just recently tried to seek out counselling, like denise mullen. It sometimes pains me to go. Oh gosh, i have to go here again. But i know that i have to continue with it because i dont want in 20 or 30 years or less, even, to hit the wall. Chris page with that report. Tens of thousands of people have been getting their btec results today. More than half of all the qualifications awarded to 16 18 year olds in england are for vocational courses. But colleges that provide this type of training have had theirfunding cut by nearly a third in the last decade. The government says it wants to overhaul the sector. Our Business Correspondent Steph Mcgovern spent the morning at a college in boston to meet students getting their results. I got the top grades in health and social. Its that time of year again when students are finding out whether theyve got the qualifications they were hoping for. Congratulations, guys. I know you are buzzing. Lydia, tell me what youre doing next . Im going to Heriot Watt University to study architecture engineering. Amazing, well done. You are off to do nursing, lauren . Yes, im going to sheffield helen in september. Excellent. And you are off to uni . You have sorted yourself out ajob, havent you, lee . Yes, in a michelin starred establishments in oxford. Under raymond blanc. Big name drop, i love it and computing for you, kirsty . Yes and im taking a gap year and then hopefully going to do my level four next year. To get some sort ofjob in it. Congratulations. You must be buzzing these guys are some of the millions of people who have been studying for vocational qualifications. Everything from as you can see here sport, plumbing, joinery, floristry, bricklaying, computing, health and social care, catering. The list goes on. A key part of their assessment is all the practical work they have to do. As well as work placements with local employers. Why did you decide to do a btec . So as we have seen with employers its not about what you know but what you can do. And i think a big part of the btec is dipping your toe into the water of the real world, of what its actually going to be like out there. Ive had to go to work placements to do my btec sport. It didntjust amalgamate to one exam right at the end of the loads of studying. It was small, manageable chunks in a way that suited me, plus mixing in the real world. Last year more 16 to 18 year olds in england achieved vocational qualifications compared to a levels. Funding for the colleges that provide this type of training has been cut by nearly a third in the last decade. Borisjohnson said in his first speech as Prime Minister that he wants to change that. So it is significantly more expensive to run further education provision because it is specialist and technical. So without putting the funding in we are not going to be able to deliver the skills the country and industry need. Post 16 education is facing major reform which includes the introduction of a new qualification called t levels. And it is not all about money, it is also about making the system les complex so that people can navigate their way through the qualifications options more easily. And for these students and teachers now. Cheering. Its all about celebrating Steph Mcgovern, bbc news, boston. Its a sight parents are all too familiar with teenagers hunched over their mobile phones. And, with nine out of ten of them regularly using social media, its led to concerns about the impact thats having on youngsters well being. But new Research Published in the medicaljournal, the lancet, suggests social media itself may not be harmful. It found Mental Health problems were more likely to result from youngsters missing out on sleep and exercise, because they were spending too much time on the internet. Sophie hutchinson reports. There are growing concerns about the impact of social media on children, nine out of ten teenagers now use that to connect with friends according to the report today. The study published in the lancet tracked more than 12,000 of those aged 13 to 16 3 years and fined 51 of girls and 43 of boys used social media more than three times a day. Those teenagers had poor Mental Health and greater psychological distress. By year 11 girls were more likely to be less happy and more anxious. But experts say it is not necessarily the amount of time spent using social media that matters. girls get enough sleep and theyre not cyber bullied and get on a physical activity we found no link between the amount of times they access social media and the Mental Health or well being. Access social media and the Mental Health or wellbeing. 13yearold Trinity Bradford said she checks her phone around five times a day but says it can make a bit low. Phone around five times a day but says it can make a bit lowlj phone around five times a day but says it can make a bit low. I try to stay off it so when i have come up when i realise it will be, why did they do that and i do not feel great about myself. I feel i do they do that and i do not feel great about myself. Ifeel i do not they do that and i do not feel great about myself. I feel i do not have any willpower when im on it. Her mum claire says it can be hard to monitor. It was a lot easier when they were younger and you knew what channels they were watching. But she is actually pretty good. Her sister tends to step very late doing all sorts of things and social media and face timing and things. It can be difficult to police without being really into their personal business. But as long as teenagers are getting the exercise they need, good sleep and not being bullied online, experts say that parents do not need to worry about the time spent on social media. After recent criticism of the way it handles racism, the Football Association now says it has to modernise itself to be fit for purpose for the 21st century. With the number of reports of racism on the increase, the fa says it needs to change from being reactive to proactive in dealing with such complaints and is introducing a range of new measures aimed at tackling the problem. Imran rahman jones reports. Football is back, with all the passion and excitement that comes with it. But one thing that the bosses of the sport were keen to avoid repeating is the spate of alleged racist incidents which cast a shadow over last season. Some of the high profile incidents include abuse from chelsea fans against man citys Raheem Sterling and this, when a banana skin was thrown at arsenal striker Pierre Emerick aubameyang as he celebrated a goal against tottenham. The man in charge of inclusion and diversity at the fa wants to make it easierfor people to report abuse and for incidents to be dealt with properly. The aim is to roll out new plans across england and wales, starting at the home of english football, wembley stadium. We are talking about more effective, efficient stewarding, greater visibility for, obviously, the police, signage. What we have never had inside this organisation is a coherent collective strategy from the touchline throughout the whole organisation into the boardroom. As well as the changes at wembley, the fa is increasing the minimum match ban for anyone found guilty of racist abuse at six matches. It also wants to increase the proportion of ethnic minority people in leadership roles to 11 and to increase the amount of coaches to 20 by 2021. But for every top tier player that draws attention to the problem, there are players lower down the pyramid who are still finding they are at the receiving end of abuse, like Peterborough Uniteds ivan toney. Missing a few games, is that really Strong Enough . I dont think so. Not being able to attend a football match again. People seeing that and thinking, right, that is going to happen if i do that, so i cant be doing that. While the fa is pledging to improve the way it handles abuse at matches, it has been criticised for the way it has previously dealt allegations of racism at other levels within the industry. Eni aluko hasnt played for england since she accused their manager mark sampson of racism in 2016. She received an apology from the fa following an investigation, but she says more needs to be done to make sure bodies like the fa keep their promises. This needs to be as big as financial fair play or other things on the agenda, like corruption in sport, because it fundamentally, you know, brings into disrepute the integrity of the sport. No room for racism. Kick it out has worked with players to raise awareness about racism in the sport, but it says there needs to be better communication between footballing bodies. Imran rahman jones, bbc news. Heavy rain at lords has delayed the start of play in the second ashes test between england and australia. England trail 1 0 in the five match series. Our Sports Correspondent joe wilson is at lords. He is with the reigning champion we have had heavy rain and light rain cricket grounds these days in england and wales do all they can to contract the weather with floodlights and vastly improved drainage but the weather has to help at some point. The universal truth remains you cannot play cricket in the rain. Fortunately cricket is one sport with a lot of room for theories and speculations and we have been asking ourselves the key question again today, how to england deal with one australian, batsmen steve smith scored almost 300 runs in the first test in birmingham to help australia win at some point this week england will unleashjofra archer to bell close to 95 miles an hour and hope that he gets rid of steve smith in particular as quickly as possible. With every mist moment of cricket and everyone raindrop that falls the intensity of the anticipation about that battle in particular just anticipation about that battle in particularjust intensifies. The key virtue for cricket in the Northern Hemisphere whether youre watching 01 hemisphere whether youre watching or playing or reporting is patience but at this moment as we wonder whether this five day test match will become four days i will symbolically and positively lower at my umbrella because there is just a sense of sunshine over this corner of london for hundreds of clubbers on board a cruise ship the dj was quite literally out of this world. Lets see if you can go sideways like me. Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano has become the first dj in orbit after playing a set from the International Space station. Up up with your hands he trained as a dj before going into space. He didnt have a playlist he used the shuttle option. Time for a look at the weather. Susan powell is
