To clear the streets, this time outside a police station. The parents of the british teenager nora quoirin, whose body was found in dense jungle in malaysia, await the results of a postmortem examination. And the teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg sets sail for a conference in america, avoiding she says, a polluting air flight. Its five oclock, good afternoon, our top story is that borisjohnson has hit back at mps, who want to block a no deal brexit, accusing them of engaging in a terrible collaboration with the eu. The Prime Minister says the more eu leaders believed parliament could stop britain leaving without an agreement, the less likely they were to compromise. But 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 he warned that leaving without a deal would be a betrayal of the 2016 referendum result. Our 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 october, 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 a betrayal of the referendum result as 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. Some tory mps are worried that the strategy in here is making no deal 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 this know that that means there will be no deal. Some in government are furious. One source accused mr hammond of doing europes bidding for them. The Prime Minister accused some in parliament of collaborating with europe. The fact we are in 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, 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 exit 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. Mps are spending the summer wondering what this. Most likely bypassing a piece of legislation which will mandate the Prime Minister to avoid no dealer possible. The stakes are high and all the while number ten insists, on the 31st of october uk leaves. Three yea rs the 31st of october uk leaves. Three years on from the referendum, it sets the scene for what could be the most important brexit tussle yet. Our political correspondent, jonathan blake, is at westminster. This acrimonious clash between Boris Johnson and Philip Hammond, who served in the same government, sets the pace for uneventful few weeks leading up to toba . It certainly does. If there was any impression in downing street that those who left the cabinet when theresa may resigned were going to go quietly, they will be disappointed because Philip Hammond comes out fighting with his first significant intervention since he left number 11 downing st as chancellor, laying into the strategy of the Prime Minister and saying, Boris Johnson might argue we are out with a deal on the 31st but it does not have to be this way. We have seen another argument adding to the pile and endless commentary of the last few months since the referendum result of what brexit should look like and how and when and indeed if, it should happen at all. Philip hammond argues that it would be a travesty to leave without a deal. That is not what people voted for. Of course the Prime Minister and those in government now, the people did vote to leave the European Union one way oi to leave the European Union one way or another and it will happen by the current deadline. This sets up what will be a frantic few weeks ahead once mps return from their summer break at the beginning of september when there will just break at the beginning of september when there willjust be a few weeks before that deadline of october the sist. It before that deadline of october the 31st. It is the legal default that the uk will leave the eu at that date but the challenge and others will try Everything Possible to avoid that happening without a deal. Thank you very much for that. Investigators have revealed that the footballer Emiliano Sala and his pilot david ibbotson, were exposed to harmful levels of Carbon Monoxide, in the cockpit of their private plane when it crashed in the English Channel injanuary. Toxicology tests on the cardiff striker, suggest he would have suffered from confusion, blurred vision and shortness of breath before his death. Our correspondent tomas morgan is in our cardiff newsroom for us now. This is an interim report . Yes, a full Investigation Report is not expected until the new year but this shows us some insight into what happens on the plane back in january. It has been seven months since the body of Emiliano Sala was recovered from the English Channel after the plane carrying him and the pilot crashed into the sea travelling from france to cardiff. The toxicology report by the Investigation Branch has shown there was a dangerously high level of Carbon Monoxide which could cause seizures and unconsciousness. A level of 30 and a healthy person could be considered to be fatal but the argentinians blood results found there was around 38 of the compound in his bloodstream. They also believe that the pilot, david ibbotson, his body has not been fined could also have suffered from similar exposure to the gas which could have inhibited his ability to fly the plane from france to cardiff. The wreckage has never been recovered from the bottom of the English Channel. Emiliano salas family have responded to the news today by again urging the act bureau today by again urging the act bureau to retrieve the aircraft on the channel so that further investigation can take place into the aircraft and help decipher how exactly the gas managed to get into the cabin of the plane which is where the focus of the investigation is now going. The investigation has also suggested that any potential pilot should install Carbon Monoxide monitors to alert them to any potential threat whilst travelling. This new information does give us more information regarding what exactly happened injanuary more information regarding what exactly happened in january and more information regarding what exactly happened injanuary and the investigation will no doubt look into how the gas got into the cabin back then. Thank you very much, thomas morgan. Former pilot and aviation journalist david learmountjoins me now. Thank you for coming in. How does Carbon Monoxide get into the copy of a plane . This is a light aeroplane with an ordinary engine like a car engine, it is killed by the air, this was january so they would have needed the cabin heater on. It gets its airona needed the cabin heater on. It gets its air on a heated exchange, it ta kes its air on a heated exchange, it takes its heat from the engine. Cooled by the air. If the engine exhaust is looking in anyway, it should not be because this risk as well as known and maintenance checks should make sure it does not happen, but as the investigation has reminded pilots of light aircraft, this risk is always there and we should be aware of it. The recommended have Warning Systems on board which are not compulsory. It can get Warning Systems yourself. This could be the reason why the but aircraft went out of control and crashed. So the advices have one of these Warning Systems in your plane because of this problem with the heater and Carbon Monoxide but it is not compulsory . No, it is not. Even on civil airliners, which you believe, toxic gases can get into the cabin and cockpit and yet there are no Warning Systems required to be on aircraft, even airlines. Why . You may well ask. This seems bizarre. Yes. Pilots have been calling for them for a long time. Remember, this is a very light aircraft, very unsophisticated. You can actually buy small Carbon Monoxide detectors which you can carry with you yourself. We do not know because the wreckage is still on the sea bed, the family wanted raised so a full investigation can ta ke raised so a full investigation can take place. There could have been some monitor in the cockpit for Carbon Monoxide which was faulty . We have known the aircraft finally went out of control which is why it the surface of the sea and thank because it was not flying logically when it went down. It was erratic. It did a com plete went down. It was erratic. It did a complete loop, close to the surface of the sea, turn back on itself and finally hit the sea. Remember it is the middle of the night, the pilot could not see the sea but, we had thought up till neither pilot mightve got disorientated because it was dark and the weather was very bad. We thought it was just ordinary disorientation but this puts a new complexion on it. If the pilot as well had that level of Carbon Monoxide in his blood, he would not have been able to think straight. Given all the other problems he had to face like bad weather and darkness, this may well be the thing which actually is decided by the Investigation Board when the final report comes out. Will the need to get that plane of the sea bed in order to put out the final report . They need. I know why the family wa nted they need. I know why the family wanted and i understand why they see that but light aircraft like this are not required to have a black box flight are not required to have a black box flight recorder so it is not as they will obtain anything radically new. This is quite staggering discovery, what they have meat on the autopsy on the footballers body. It may be all we need to know. All the other things we do know, we have a very accurate plot of how the aircraft flew in its last minutes. There is not much else we could discover by retrieving the actual wreckage of the aircraft. But we do not already know. Do you believe this could see monitors for Carbon Monoxide become compulsory . I do not see wyatt should not. Ithink compulsory . I do not see wyatt should not. I think they really ought to be compulsory. David, thank you. A postmortem examination is ongoing in malaysia, into the death a teenager from london, who died on a family holiday. The body of nora quoirin, who was fifteen, was found yesterday, ten days after she went missing from a jungle resort. Police say they still dont have any definitive answers, from an autopsy that began this morning. Her family have released a statement thanking the hundreds of people who helped in the search. Our reporter, Howard Johnson reports. 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. 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. Howard johnson sent this update from the town of seremban. Its been a long and frustrating day for people covering the story. You can see the International Media here, malaysian media, newspapers and agencies from all round the world. In the last few minutes, the police came out and gave a press conference. This postmortem has being going on for more than eight hours and what they have said is there has been no conclusive report given yet. It is still ongoing, this postmortem examination and they will give us more details tomorrow in another press conference but that has not been confirmed yet. We will find out when that press conference takes place. Obviously this is deeply upsetting for nora quoirins family. They will be deeply frustrated by the news today that they do not know the exact cause of noras death. The headlines on bbc news.

A wash out at lords, no play on day one of the second test for england as they hope to get back into the ashes against australia. I will have more on those stories after hapless five, the you then. The brother of a man who was murdered by a church warden, after tricking him into changing his will, has described his attacker as cunning in every way. Ben field manipulated peter farquhar, who was 69 and duped him into a relationship. Speaking to the bbc, ian farquhar said the family had not initally suspected the influence ben had over his brother. Not really. We were we were duped. Yeah. And we just felt he was living with him, giving him a bit of company. I felt that he was a bit sure of himself. But maybe i just think that of young people sometimes, sorry. Do you reflect on what happened now and feel you were as deceived as peter was . Certainly we were. Yeah, we were deceived. Ijust didnt know or think that anybody could treat somebody like that who was helping them out. It was just unbelievable. Yeah, its very true, because peter was quite generous to him. I think no students pay as little as he did. He gave him run of the house. Yes, ithink. He was very cunning in every way. He. He wormed his way into all the important parts of peters life. His literature, his christian walk, even his love of wine. All these sorts of things, he just wormed his way into them certainly sexuality, he picked up that was something that peter had always struggled with, thats a good word. He made a vow of celibacy because of his christian beliefs, and i think that he pushed him, pushed him, and pushed him until he found a weakness. I have nojudgement of my brother over that. 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 forjanuary. 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. Our correspondent Richard Lister is at kings cross. Not good news, yet again for real passengers . No, this happens every year. Passengers . No, this happens every yea r. Every year passengers . No, this happens every year. Every year commuters ask why we should face such high increases, given the fact that services are less tha n given the fact that services are less than optimal. Todays announcements affect 40 of rail fa res. Announcements affect 40 of rail fares. It is off peak and anytime tickets and cut a season ticket from gloucester to birmingham with go up £119. From leeds to manchester £119, if you have a season ticket in and out of london, that will go up and average of £122. The complaint from commuters as they face disruption and overcrowding far too often. Figures released in december showed that disruption on the network was atan that disruption on the network was at an all time high for 13 years. A survey of commuters said that fewer than one third of them believe that their season tickets represent value for money. Many real passengers will be mystified that fears will be going up at all, rather than 2. 8 . But the real minister said while it was tempting to see real fear should be frozen, the truth is that if we stop investing in a railway, it will never improve. Kings cross a case in point, there is a £1. 2 billion Investment Programme in place. The real Delivery Group says they are working on providing an extra 7000 coaches and additional Weekly Services by the end of the 20 20s. That money has to come from somewhere. The government says it is trying to help certain groups. It is producing a new railcard for 16 year olds which will allow them to cut their rail fares by half. The rate that the increases calculated at remain is controversial, it is paid to the retail price index which raised by 2. 8 last month but the more accepted pto measure is the Consumer Price index which only rose by 2. 1 . It is consistently more. Groups representing transport the that figure should be used. The treasury secretary says there needs to be more investment in railways and he shares the frustration of commuters and he promised he would sort out. Back to you. Thank you for that. Hong kong airport has resumed operations after a night of chaos which saw protesters clash with riot police. After days of disruptions, the Airport Authority said it had obtained a temporary injunction banning protesters from entering certain areas. More protests have, though, taken place on the streets of the city. Police fired tear gas, in an attempt to move demonstrators from outside a police station. Beijing has stepped up its criticism of the Anti Government protests, which are now in their tenth week. With me now is vincent nee from the bbcs China Service based in london. Thank you for coming in. As the airport now off limits for the protesters because making the kind of protest they have, got the International Coverage they wanted . It is difficult to say. These protesters might have changed their tactics and become more gorilla like with the police force, making it unpredictable for the authorities to respond to their protest. Ultimately it is about both sides sitting down together to have a conversation. We do not see this happening yet. It might have left the airport today but things might still be flailing up at some point in the next few days. Use theatres basically a case of both sides having to sit and talk about this, what are the chances of beating doing that given the demands from the demonstrators . Good question. For the time being the chance is slim. We have seen the protest has reached a point where neither side feels they can backdown. Some of the protesters are losing faith in any sort of action or dialogue with government. Some of them are saying we have nothing to lose. From the side of the government and beijing, the cannot meet the demands. One demanded universal suffrage which is often the net for the time being. It is difficult to see how they run sit down together. One demand is for universal suffrage. They are saying that no one outside should be interfering, the state department has put out some comments in the last few minutes, just as she sat down. A spokesman said the continued erosion of the autonomy of hong kong that risk its long established status in international affairs. He went on to say that he urged all sides in hong kong to refrain from violence and it was important for the Hong Kong Government to respect freedom of speech and peaceful assembly. This is a kind of thing which will wind beijing up no end . Absolutely. This is what beijing are saying from the beginning, it is foreign forces, what they call black hands behind the scenes, in particular america. Hands behind the scenes, in particularamerica. Domestically, beijing will see this as an example of america interfering in Domestic Affairs in china. Within china, the Chinese Media are heavily censored when it comes to reports about hong kong and political demonstrations but these things are going to play into the hands of the hardcore, hardliners in beijing, saying we have to protect our own sovereignty. Hong kong is part of china legally speaking. We are going to see polarised Public Opinion in china for a while. Thank you, good to have your perspective. The environmental activist Greta Thunberg has set sail from plymouth, bound for the un climate summits in new york and chile. The 16 year old will be travelling on a solar powered racing yacht with underwater turbines. Our chief environment correspondent Justin Rowlatt was in plymouth as greta began herjourney. I would like also to just draw your attention to the symbolic nature of gretas decision to leave from here. Gritter is how you actually prounounce it. From here in plymouth, plymouth in 1620 was where the founding fathers, the pilgrims left in the mayflower. This is called the mayflower docks. They left 399 years ago and there is obviously a symbolic value to this. Let us go back to greta now as she has just got on board the boat. It is a symbolic moment for greta herself, on the 20th of august, she celebrates the First Anniversary since the first climate strike when she went out and she sat in front of the Swedish Parliament building, a really powerful image, there is one small girl sitting alone with her climate strike poster in front of her and became an emblem for the world of the challenge of tackling climate change. She now has boarded the boat, you can see her at the back. They are manoeuvring the boat. They have to get out a bit before they can put sails up. The boat is like a thoroughbred racehorse. The boat is amazing in the wind and water but she is an unwieldy in tight environments like this, you need to sail past the headland which you can see, it is the old Naval Dockyard just over here. They sail from the point of land to my right past the royal william yard which is the old navy yard. There is an island round the corner which they call the point. They go out and there is a huge breakwater at the opening of plymouth sound. There is a fort. She is going to sail to the breakwater, that we already sailed to on monday on the boat. When you get beyond the breakwater you get bigger waves and more wind because it is exposed to the great Atlantic Ocean which is where they are headed. That is when the boat will come into its own. They will put the sails up and they will open it up. Another interesting thing of being on the boat, and the skipper of the boat, boris herman, he loves the speed the boat goes out and he thoroughly enjoys sailing that boat. I am sure he will be delighted to get away from the clamour and tumult of the press conference with all us journalists buzzing around trying to get the attention of people, i am sure they will breathe as sigh of relief as the wind catches the sails on the boat races on into the ocean. Time for a look at the weather. Heres susan powell. It is awful. It is pretty bad city, some positive things for tomorrow for the rest of the week and on into the weekend. You could be forgiving for thinking it is autumn. At this tomorrow it will be a drier day with later winds. Outside at the moment, heavyweight feeding heavy rain cleaning away from eastern england. Moving across Northern Ireland into western scotland, eventually clear in scotland by the end of the night to leave off quieter day for thursday. Cloud first then, next and mark which will burn back as the day goes on. Isolated showers in england and wales but what a different day, so much drier with later winds. Much warmer as well. Temperatures of 23 in the south east. But on friday, the Atlantic Ocean is hostile with a deep of low pressure heading this way on friday. Strong and gusty, maybe even damaging winds. So on that dark note, stating. Stay tuned. This is bbc news. The headlines. Boris johnson accuses mps, who want to stop a no deal brexit of a terrible collaboration, with the European Union. After with the European Union. Criticism of his strategy t former after criticism of his strategy by former chancellor Philip Hammond. The speaker of the us house of representatives, nancy pelosi, has said that a us uk trade deal will not get through congress if brexit undermines the good friday agreement. Investigators conclude the footballer Emiliano Sala and his pilot david ibbotson, were exposed to harmful levels of Carbon Monoxide in their plane, when it crashed in the channel injanuary. The parents of the british teenager nora quoirin, whose body was found in dense jungle in malaysia, await the results of a postmortem examination. Rail passengers face an increase in season ticket prices of almost 3 next year lets start with the usa super cup tonight. Its the uefa super cup tonight the match that sees the Champions League winners facing the europa League Winners so this years edition has liverpool taking on chelsea in istanbul. Lets head live there now to speak to jane dougal at the besiktas stadium. The season has onlyjust kicked off so how important is this game for the two teams . Exactly. This may not be the most prestigious of trophies in europe, but i dont think either manager would turn down silver so early in the season. It sets a marker for possible success for the remainder of the season. If we start with liverpool, istanbul is such a special place there. It won the Champions League in 2005, and it holds a special place in their hearts. Jurgen klopp was speaking about how excited he was about this match and the possibility of lifting and other european trophy. He now has a taste for it. It was on a great result for him at his debut in the dugout as manager of chelsea, but if on his second occasion in the dugout as manager of chelsea he worked to win some silverware, what a morale boost that would be for players and fans and for franklin barth himself. Both managers have said that they will be putting out there best available teams, they are taking it very seriously. There best available teams, they are taking it very seriouslylj there best available teams, they are taking it very seriously. I think ive seen a fan in the background waving the liverpool scout flag to the camera. So the atmosphere must be pretty good . It definitely is. Theres been lots of singing and fa ns theres been lots of singing and fans gathering. Outside the stadium, it is packed, hundreds and hundreds of fa ns it is packed, hundreds and hundreds of fans are crowding around. Its been like that all afternoon. At the moment liverpool fans are outnumbering chelsea fans, but it is important to stress that theyre fa ns important to stress that theyre fans from all over the world, not necessarily england. Its quite obvious that those two clubs attract fa ns obvious that those two clubs attract fans many other countries across the world. This is an opportunity for them to come watch their club but when they potentially couldnt go to either stadium. So its quite a hodgepodge of different accents that we are hearing, but all are wearing either liverpool strips or chelsea strips. Its been very good natured, theres quite a high Police Presence but thats not to say they are anticipating any animosity later on. At the moment we know its been 1a yea rs at the moment we know its been 1a years since theres been an english winner of this super cup final, and this is the first time theres been an all english cup final. We do know also that it will deftly be an english team who goes home with it, we just english team who goes home with it, wejust dont english team who goes home with it, we just dont know which one. We will see, thank you very much, jane in istanbul, she will keep us updated for the rest of the evening. The sale of financially troubled club Bolton Wanderers is a step nearer. The court order blocking a takeover of the club has been adjourned and amended which will allow the company Football Ventures to complete a deal. The case relates to a failed bid by Laurence Bassini to buy the club from former chairman ken anderson. The first day of the second ashes test between england and australia was abandoned without a ball being bowled because of heavy rain at lords. This was the scene for most of the day rain pouring, covers on various announcements about inspections. A break in the weather did allow a 3. 30pm start to be scheduled, only for further rain to intervene. There has yet to be a toss and the teams have not been officially named. However, fast bowlerjofra archer was presented with his england cap in the afternoon, which confirms that he will make his test debut. At his request, the presentation was made by chrisjordan, his sussex team mate. Like archer, jordan was born in barbados and helped introduce the debutant to the english game. Well have more for you in sportsday at 6. 30pm. We will see you then. Thank you, sarah. The Advertising Standards Authority has banned two adverts, which it says break a new rule designed to prevent harmful gender stereotypes. Around 130 viewers complained about an ad for philadelphia soft cheese and three people contacted the asa about a volkswagen advertisement. In a moment, well be hearing from my guests, Jane Bloomfield and Geraint Lloyd taylor. But heres a quick look at those ads. New dad, too . Mm hmm. Wow, look at this lunch. Yeah, hard to choose. This looks good. Thats really good. Thats the philadelphia. Mmm . That was a snippet from Mondelez Internationals advert for philadelphia cream cheese. Now the complaints claimed it showed fathers acting irresponsibly. Heres the other ad. Inspirational music. Now the asa said complaints pointed to harmful gender stereotypes. The men were all doing exciting things, and the lone woman is sitting on the bench with her child. Lets talk more on this with Jane Bloomfield, head of Business Development at the research consultancy, kantar, and Geraint Lloyd taylor, an advertising partner, at lewis silkin solicitors. Good to see you both, things are coming in. Its a phrase thats old hat, pc gone mad, but is that what happened here . Not really, what has happened here . Not really, what has happened here . Not really, what has happened here is the asa have brought in new regulations that brands and companies have known about for six months now, and they have given very clear guidance as to what is acceptable and what is not. And generally its a very good thing. We arent talking about the 60s and 70s, the terrible stereotypes we may have seen back then. But there are two really good reasons that this is important in that we have this regulation. One is a business imperative. We know from work weve done at counter that brands that show progressive advertising that show the roles of women and men in better lights those do much better than those who do not. The second reason is there isa do not. The second reason is there is a social imperative here. We know from other work that we have done that women, it wont surprise you to hear, suffer at lower self esteem than men. Advertising has a huge role to play and how that self esteem is built and how we are pretrade in general as the female gender. There are many reasons it is important and not seen as pc gone mad. Its not the 1960s70s. Some of us can remove mad. Its not the 1960s70s. Some of us can remove or mad. Its not the 1960s70s. Some of us can remove or how awful gender stereotyping was back in those days, but as jane says, progressive advertising helps the bottom line get it right and you do better. Volkswagen and philadelphia cream cheese fell down here, didnt they . I think potentially they fell down, but we can all agree with the principle that you dont want very harmful stereotypes out there. But it happens, stereotyping is quite common in advertising because you need to tell a story in 30 seconds and cut to the chase. You cant spend too long setting the scene. My difficulty with these decisions is that its not clear where the bar is set. There is actually a third ruling that came out today for buxton, which showed a female character who wanted to grow up to bea character who wanted to grow up to be a ballerina, and a male character who wanted to grow up to be a drummer ina who wanted to grow up to be a drummer in a band. That was not upheld, and what is unclear is where the decision between those two lines is. Ultimately it seems the essay is deciding what is harmful and what is not without any objective measure we can look at before hand and decide when we are reviewing ads before they go to air whether they follow these are not. So we arent100 clear these are not. So we arent 10096 clear on what these are not. So we arent10096 clear on what the standard is that advertisers should be aiming for . |j think that is a fairy fairpoint. The asa have said they will review these guidelines over the next 12 months. Dashed very fairpoint. But the need to be clear to companies as to why they have fell afoul, and provide guidance as to how they adhere to these guidelines and how they make sure that the advertising they produce is fit for purpose. It adds toa produce is fit for purpose. It adds to a societal debate and conversation that is important today. I think there is also an issue around where the bar has been set to the extension where we can see that far. It is unclear to me why and that ballerina, they decided not to uphold. But in the philadelphia, its also not clear to me why you cant make that point its a point about parenting, not about the fact that they are men. It is clearly in the ads that they are new parents and they are a bit scatterbrained in the leave behind a baby. Thats relatable, but if you swa p baby. Thats relatable, but if you swap them out with women, does that make that 0k . Swap them out with women, does that make that ok . Or are you saying that you cant show that kind of scenario at all, male or female . Letsjust put up at the two advertisers said. This is Mondelez International for the philadelphia cheese, and they said. Volkswagen, behind their add, said. Jane, i suspect they are probably partners within these advertising firms who are horrified that they perhaps have been associated with gender stereotyping, and the bad old days of the 1960s 70s. Gender stereotyping, and the bad old days of the 1960s70s. Youre probably right, the reality is it would be worth looking at who made these ads. Between 80 90 of creators of advertising agencies remain men, and that is a challenge for the industry. They need to be seen to attract more females and retain those females. When you ask females in society today, research has shown that 85 see they do not see themselves represented in advertising. They may be horrified to be associated with it, but the reality is it still being produced. Is an issue that is industrywide, because the ipa, the trade body for advertising agencies, would echo what ive been saying in that it is unclear now what constitutes a harmful stereotype or not. The reason for those stereotypes is a different debate, it is what people are portraying in the advertising themselves that has people a bit concerned and frankly confused on many levels. Very interesting discussion. Good to see you both, thanks for coming on. 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 are 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 to 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 who 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. Whereas missing, not being able to attend a football match again, and people seeing that and thinking, right, thats 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 with allegations of racism at other levels within the industry. Eni aluko hasnt played for england since she accused then 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 says there needs to be better communication between footballing bodies. Imran rahman jones, bbc news. The headlines on bbc news. Boris johnson accuses mps, who want to stop a no deal brexit of a terrible collaboration, with the European Union. Investigators conclude the footballer Emiliano Sala and his pilot david ibbotson, were exposed to harmful levels of Carbon Monoxide in their plane, when it crashed in the channel injanuary. The parents of the british teenager nora quoirin, whose body was found in dense jungle in malaysia, await the results of a postmortem examination. 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 3,000 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. Our 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 ina bomb. As we were getting to the station one of the dos, 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 3 4 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. Lets take a look of some of the days other news. Planned strikes at heathrow later this month have been postponed while workers vote on the airports latest pay offer. Up to 4,000 front line staff were expected to walk out during the august bank holiday weekend. The unite union confirmed a ballot is under way on the airports offer of a 7. 8 pay rise over two years. The us rapper, asap rocky, has been found guilty of assaulting a teenager in a brawl in sweden in june. Two others were also convicted. The case attracted International Attention after donald trump called for the rappers release from custody. Leaked documents show a level maths candidates had to score 55 to get an a grade in this years paper. The grade boundaries for all the tests set by the edexcel exam board have been leaked on social media ahead of the publication of results tomorrow. 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 in lincolnshire to meet students getting their results. I got the top grades in my health and social care. It is that time of year again when students are finding out whether they have got the qualifications they were hoping for. Congratulations, guys. I know you are buzzing. So, lydia, tell me what you are doing next . I am going to Heriot Watt University in edinburgh to study architectural engineering. Amazing, well done. Thank you. You are off to do nursing, arent you, lauren . Yeah, im going to Sheffield Hallam in september. So, you are off to uni. You have sorted yourself out a job, havent you . In a michelin star establishment in oxford, under raymond blanc, so, yeah. Big name drop, i love it computing for you, isnt it, kirsty . Yeah, i am taking a gap year and hopefully go and 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, forestry, bricklaying, computing, health and social care, catering, engineering, the list goes on. A key part of their assessment is the practical work they have to do, as well as work placements with local employers. Why did you decide to do a btec . As we are seeing with employers, it is not about what you know, it is about what you can do. I think a big part of the btec is actually dipping your toe into the water of the real world and what it is actually going to be like out there. Ive got to go to work placements during my btec dport. It didntjust amalgamate to one exam right at the end of loads of studying. It was small, manageable chunks in a way that suited me. Plus mixing with 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. It is significantly more expensive to run further education provision, because it is specialist and it is technical, so without putting the funding in, we are not going to deliver the skills country and industry needs. 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 less 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. Good luck to all those expecting results this week. Time for a look at the weather. Heres susan powell. Not been the prettiest day today, this picture wasnt taken today. But tomorrow, this is rather like yesterdays by there, there will be more sunshine to come. One day on, one day off with the weather this week. One day you see it, the next day you dont. We certainly have it today. This little ridge in the atla ntic today. This little ridge in the atlantic will calm things down and clear things up nicely for tomorrow. Friday, we see this fellow rolling across us, bringing strong winds and heavy rain. Through this evening, still some rain east of england, but it is the turn now of Northern Ireland and scotland to pick up some heavier rain as we move into the smaller hours of thursday, most of it clearing by the middle of the night. Clouds first thing tuesday, much milder towards the northeast. In the thursday, we have lots of cloud around first thing, but it will burn back through the day with plenty of sunshine come the afternoon, 1 2 stray showers across england and wales. Later winds and it will also feel warmer. But as we saw at the start, it is reallyjust a brief rest bite from some pretty wet and windy weather lining up in the atlantic dust rest bite. Whether approaching our shores friday, stronger winds bringing a dollop of wind and rain to our area once again. Pushing from west to east, it should be dry through the morning across eastern england, but look at how that front buckles and stalls across the likes of the southwest and south wales. Here the rainfall totals could add up, there could be water with surface water, spray and flooding, particularly if you are driving anywhere friday evening during rush hour. The rain is a future for most of the day, those gusty winds could also cause problems for irish sea fairies, up to 40 problems for irish sea fairies, up to 110 mph in some expose parts on friday. Unsurprisingly on a disappointing side. Now on the weekend, slightly mixed fair. Hopefully this front will push away to the south to leave us with some sunshine saturday and sunday across england and wales. However further north, heavy showers are expected to continue across scotland and Northern Ireland, particularly on saturday. But the wind will be the big talking point to this weekend, it will certainly give us a good buffeting. Those figures you see indicate the gust strength. Sunday isa indicate the gust strength. Sunday is a windier day of the two, potentially gusts of up to 50 mph, not feeling like summer, does it . Today at six, the tory civil war over brexit. The former chancellor goes on the attack and his target is number 10. Philip hammond accuses Boris Johnsons advisers of trying to wreck any chances of negotiating a deal with the eu to set the bar for negotiations so high that we inevitably leave without a deal would be a betrayal. The Prime Minister has hit back saying brexit opponents are collaborating with the eu. Also on the program air accident investigators say footballer emilano sala and his pilot may have had Carbon Monoxide poisoining before the fatal crash. Rail fares are set to rise some commuters could see annual
