What do you think . Is this a good idea . Would you miss frequent flyer reward schemes . Just use the hashtag bbcthebriefing eu ambassadors have been told that the uk is willing to make concessions to its plans for the Northern Ireland border after brexit, but a big gap remains over customs arrangements. In a briefing on uk eu weekend talks on a brexit deal, eu chief negotiator Michel Barnier said uk plans on the tracking of goods were unacceptable. Earlier, britains prime minister, borisjohnson told his cabinet significant work was still needed. It comes as his governments agenda is to be set out in the queens speech later today, which opens the new session of parliament. Our political correspondent, nick eardley has more. Today, there will be pomp, and there will be pagea ntry. Today, there will be pomp, and there will be pageantry. But this week is mostly about politics. First up, the queens speech with the government will set out its priorities, delivering brexit, tackling violent crime, investing in the nhs. It is said to be nothing more than a political broadcast. Borisjohnson doesnt have a majority and cant promise it will be able to get these pledges through parliament. Add into the mix the fact that he wants a general election and a lot of it feels more like a pitch to the country. Much of what is said today could well be overshadowed by what happens here. Talks to try to find a brexit compromise continue in brussels, but there has been no breakthrough and time is running out. Yesterday, borisjohnson told his cabinet there was a significant way to go, but he did still believe a deal was possible. Others are far less confident. Can borisjohnson get a new deal . Can he persuade mps to back it and if not, can they force him to delay our departure ain . Force him to delay our departure again . This week, answers to those questions should become clearer. Yes, its another big week for uk politics, we will talk more about that in a moment, but now to northern syria. Kurds say theyve struck a deal with the Syrian Government in an attempt to halt the turkish invasion of their territory. They say the syrian army is being sent to the border to help the kurdish Led Syrian Democratic forces. Syrian state media said Government Forces were heading north to confront turkish aggression. Earlier, the us ordered the withdrawal of its remaining troops from the region, leaving their one time kurdish allies to face the turkish onslaught. Aleem maqbool reports from inside northern syria. The anguish that only comes from loss. This brother and sister mourn their father, who was killed in the shelling by turkey of their residential neighbourhood. The kurds here have already suffered so much, and every day of turkeys offensive brings new chaos. These are thought to be just a handful of the hundreds of women and children who, as turkeys attacks got closer, escaped a kurdish camp that held them. Most were relatives of Islamic State group fighters. Its not the first massive Security Breach brought on by the turkish aggression. Five captured is fighters escaped from a prison here too after it was shelled. We found it abandoned, the remaining prisoners moved into other already overwhelmed facilities. The authorities here say they are already struggling with the resources to hold many thousands of what are among the most dangerous prisoners in the world from the so called Islamic State group. What they warn is that with any further destabilisation caused by this assault from turkey, many more could escape, potentially regroup, undoing the massive effort it took to capture them and take their territory back. Already, is says it was behind this car bomb that killed three people. The fear is that far worse is to come. All the while, turkeys offensive goes on. This evening, a convoy travelling close to the border was attacked with more kurdish casualties, and with us troops having now been ordered to leave this part of the country, and syria saying its sending troops into kurdish areas, more turmoil is on the horizon. Aleem maqbool, bbc news, in northern syria. Now, polands governing law and Justice Party looks set to stay in power following a general election. Exit polls give the conservative nationalist party 44 of the vote, enough to take a majority in the lower house of parliament. My colleague kasia madera is in warsaw for us. What is the latest . As you say, we are working off exit polls still but these are late exit polls so were not expecting the situation to change. Law and justice are calling this a victory and by all accounts, with 239 predicted seats, they have certainly got enough to form yet againa certainly got enough to form yet again a majority. Is only the second time in polish history since the fall of communism that any party has formed a majority government, so justice should be feeling pleased with themselves, but the leader of that party in his press conferences throughout the night has been saying that he was disappointed because he didnt get the two thirds majority that he needs to bring and full constitutional changes. Lets discuss the implication of these results with my guest, the ambassador to the European Union while poland was ascending to the bloc. What does this mean . Because this is a victory for law and justice, but he is not happy quiz blue he was very low key at the conference. I should say that the winner no doubt as the kochanski party, more voters voting for him, but the turnout was the highest. The second point is the return of the left to the parliament, after 12 or 13 years out of the parliament, with a very decent result, some around 12, maybe 13 . And the latest change is, which is of some concern, that the extreme far right, we will see in the next hours the final result, we will not make you might say that pollen is divided by half. The big cities are voting in favour of the opposition. For the law and Justice Party, for the villages, i should add that in the villages there is a new power again, which is around 9 , so new power again, which is around 9 , so that is a problem for kaczynski. In your experience as a former ambassador while poland was joining the eu, the law and Justice Party and the European Union has got a fractured relationship to put it mildly. What is brussels thinking with this result . Probably brussels is waiting for the composition of the government the problem is that kaczynskis ambition is to continue changing poland. He wants to create a new model of the pole with Strong National feelings, family, traditional values, but he is also undermining the principles of the eu. I mean, first of allthe independent judiciary. He has already made a lot of changes. It is under political control of his party. Public media are totally. It is an instrument of propaganda of the government. What may influence in the forthcoming two years the situation, the short Term Economic prospect are not so rosy for poland, because its a policy of very risky fiscal allowances, people were promised a lot. Everybody was promised a lot. Everybody was promised something. Thank you so much for your expertise, and yes as he said, the promises, the pledges, the doubling of the minimum wage, the doubling of the minimum wage, the generous welfare packages for families with children, it is all yet to be seen how the government, the returning government with that majority is going to be paying for that after a very divisive election here, sally, with minority communities especially the Lgbt Community being targeted by law and justice politicians, it will be really interesting to see how the law and Justice Party unites this country. Thank you very much indeed. Some might say a very familiar tale, which they . Lets review now on some other stories the news. Rescuers injapan are still working to try to reach people affected by floods and landslides triggered by typhoon hagibis. Japanese media are reporting that thirty five people were killed by the storm, which brought wind speeds of over 200 kilometers an hour.

For the briefing today, we have got mark davies with us. The ceo of strategy consultancy, camberton. The much awaited queens speech, there is going to be a lot in it, but some are arguing that without a majority in parliament will it be a reality . Probably not stopping you say we have been waiting for it for a long time, the last session of parliament was one of the longest ever and this could be one of the shortest ever. There are 22 bills to be put in front of Parliament Today but when the queen says my government will do this and that, my government will do this and that, my government doesnt have a majority, in fact it has got a minority of about 40, so how it gets anything through is questionable. Of course thatis through is questionable. Of course that is not what it is really about. Is about putting a series of proposals so that it can say to the country, which is what it has been trying to do for quite some time, this is what a post Brexit Britain would look like, because they have got a view towards the election and they want to be telling the country what it is they are going to do. Jeremy corbyn says it is a Party Political broadcast. Well, he would, wouldnt he. But with the general election not far away.

Management can only fire a driver on very specific charges, so, do you ever show up late . No. Drink on the job . No. Do you every hit anybody . On thejob . Yeah. I dont think so. Its about power, its about power, love, betrayal, and then ultimately, the price you pay for the life you lead. Im here to defend you, right . Right. We could not get any financing from the hollywood studios. What do you want . Like, do you want to know if i did it or not . Nobody was interested in making a film with me and bob any more. I just dont think they thought the audience was there. The biggest theme going through the whole thing is, of course, its about old age. Old age. Yeah . Its about the ageing process and looking back on our lives. The ageing process, yes, the ageing process, ultimately. Without scaring an audience, saying, we dont want to go and see a film about old age the way around that problem was to go high tech and digitally de age, by several decades, the three septuagenarian male leads, al pacino, joe pesci and robert de niro. Are you happy with the de ageing . Yes, we had started out one way, we ended up redoing shots that we did originally in the first week. Six months later, we redid those shots because the technology was better. The issue, i thought, with it, wasnt the facial expressions so much, but the bodies. So, bob de niro, a 70 something year old man, de aged around his face but his body is still a 70 year old man and it moves like a 70 something year old man . At times, probably, yes, at times. You make him climb over some rocks to chuck away a gun. Oh, well, that. That was, well, it was early in the morning. I mean, give him a little leeway. Hello. Is that frank . Yes. Hiya, frank, this isjimmy hoffa. Do you like the idea of more and more technology coming in . Anything new, as long as it doesnt take away the heart and the soul of the picture. The human element, thats the key. But you wouldnt go all the way and make a comic book movie . I dont know how to do that. Im also not. Its uninteresting, why make it . Its really more of a theme park ride. Its not cinema, really. Its going to happen. Either way, hes going. That shouldnt take away the value and the power of true cinema, real films. For all its digital de ageing, there is something old school about the irishman. Its a 3. 5 hour mob movie spanning half a century, not backed by hollywood, mind, but by a streaming giant, stepping in where the traditional studios fear to tread. Its what it is. What it is. Will gompertz, bbc news. Interesting, i expect many of you wa nt to interesting, i expect many of you want to see that film. Lets talk about your responses to our question today about the proposal to get rid of frequent flyer programmes, or air miles. This was an idea put forward to the uk government is away for uk government to meet its carbon emission targets, to try to reduce excessive flying. So, margot in chicago got in touch. Hello, margot. She says this is another consumer focused proposal, the solution should be aimed at businesses who caused the problem. She says people with the most miles applying for business, they are not going to be swayed by emissions reporting, even if they have the best intentions. Many others have been in touch. Plenty of you note that actually, once again, consumers are being targeted with either more tax proposals or other ideas to try to reduce their carbon footprint. Two weeks into october in some parts of the country have not seen a dry day yet. We had a lot of rain around. That we can brought more spells of heavy rain for some of us. This was the picture is the sunset sunday evening above london. Still a bit of rain to come through the week ahead, im afraid. An unsettled picture. Further rain at times, but equally they will be some sunnier, drier weather. Particularly during tuesday. What we have got today, through the day on monday, is a couple of areas of low pressure. This one out to the west is bringing rain across Northern Ireland from the word go. We also have a waiting weather front across the south east of england, reducing initially some heavy showers, possibly in cans towards sussex. Those showers will be hit or miss. We will not all see them. They will work their way north through central parts of england through central parts of england through the day. Could be happy, with thunderstorms and squally winds as well. Northern ireland also seem fairly persistent rain which will push into the west of scotland later on. That rain could be quite heavy in the south, reducing some lying surface water with the thunderstorms, squally winds possible as well. Temperatures generally about 13 17 celsius, not far off what we would expect for this time of year. The bulk of the heavy rain and potential thunderstorms pushing north across Northern England into tuesday morning. It is going to be sitting across parts of north east england, perhaps eastern scotland, first thing on tuesday. Actually, elsewhere, quite a lot of dry u nsettled elsewhere, quite a lot of dry unsettled weather to start off your day on tuesday. Frost free, but they could be some mist and fog around. Once again that murkiness clears away, during tuesday it is not a bad day, we are between two weather systems, so a small ridge of High Pressure in charge on tuesday. A dry day. Rain clears away from the north east. The next area of rain is waiting in the winds. But will arrive across Northern Ireland later in the day, probably not until the evening hours. Most places having a pretty dry day. 12 15 degrees in most places, with some spells of sunshine in the afternoon. Wednesday, wet and windy weather, especially for scotland and england. But found of rain should clear towards the east relatively quickly. They return to sunnier skies from the south west and a few scattered showers as well. Highs similar to what we have seen recently, 12 16 for most of us. Low pressure stays in charge for much of the week ahead. It will be a mix of sunnier, drier weather, but plenty of blustery showers.
