Organisation to resign. The United States imposes sanctions on turkey over the military offensive in Northern Syria as the uk calls on president erdogan to withdraw forces as soon as possible. And the duke and duchess of cambridge meet pakistans Prime Minister during their visit to the country. And coming up on bbc news, andy murray says he will leave the european open in belgium, if his wife kim goes into labour. She is due to give birth this month. Good afternoon. The European Unions chief brexit negotiator says a deal is possible and must be agreed tonight. He said a deal is still possible if the legal text is agreed this evening. Downing street says borisjohnson is aware of the time constraints and wa nts to aware of the time constraints and wants to make progress as soon as possible. Morning. What felt like all of europe was waiting to hear if talks were making progress. Even if an agreement will be difficult, more and more difficult, to be frank, it is still possible this week. Looking tired after negotiations went into the night, Michel Barnier chose every word carefully. Reaching an agreement is still possible. Obviously, any agreement must work for everyone. Inside, he laid out the timeline for ministers of the 27 other countries. If there is to be a deal for eu leaders to approve at this summit starting on thursday, that deal would have to be agreed by tonight, tuesday. But, in brexit, deadlines exist to be missed. It is, of course, possible to move beyond the summit and continue talks next week if that is feasible because the uk is not due to leave the European Union until the end of the month. But, from everybodys perspective, if we could provide clarity at this summit, and i think that would be a welcome development. We have a level of solidarity with ireland from the beginning and we try to protect the integrity of the internal market, the single market, so if it is possible to stick in such a red line, it is possible to have a deal and then we will see if it is possible for the British Parliament to agree on that. Will there be a deal . In london, the Prime Minister welcomed an observer of this protest, the nato secretary general. If borisjohnson seals a deal with his other european colleagues, it will have to be approved by parliament and not just that, it will have to be turned into british law too, which more votes. Parliament once it had agreed something, it can legislate very quickly. So if the meaningful vote goes through, then the legislation will merely be the ratification in domestic law of the treaty and that, i think, is a relatively easy bill to pass. If there is a deal. What matters now is whether the uks Negotiation Team can work their magic in brussels. There are still big differences on customs checks on the island of ireland and the shape of any future trade agreement gaps that have to be bridged injust a matter of hours, or there will not be a deal this week. Ina in a moment we will speak to norman smith in westminster but first lets hear from adam Fleming Smith in westminster but first lets hearfrom adam fleming in luxembourg where Michel Barnier has updated eu ministers. Difficult but possible for a deal but the time is running out. Yes and if you speak to european diplomats and officials they fall into the possible camp or they fall into the possible camp or the difficult camp. Optimists talk about the possibility of a legal text ready tonight or tomorrow, diplomats invited into secret reading rooms to go over it and take notes and advise their Prime Minister is whether to sign off on it on thursday night. You speak to the pessimists and they think there isa the pessimists and they think there is a lot to be done in a short space of time. Very technical and legal work. And could the compromises the uk would be required to make to get to the same place as the eu be too much for Boris Johnson to the same place as the eu be too much for borisjohnson and the british negotiators to swallow . What unites the positive and pessimistic people is the idea it is unlikely the uk will leave the eu by the deadline of the 31st of october and there will be an extension, either short, to solve small problems, or a longer extension to solve much bigger problems. Norman smith, less than 12 hours to prepare the text, is downing street accepting this deadline . They are not. Their intention is to keep on working through the summit if necessary, up to saturdays meeting of parliament in the hope a finished deal can be put in front of mps. In the hope a finished deal can be put in front of mp5. I am increasingly of the view that journalists covering brexit ought to be barred from using the word crunch, as in crunch summit, crunch talks, crunch negotiations, because we have seen that the crunch gets delayed and becomes the crumble as the big showdown peters out. You feel that is what could be about to happen again because finessing the legal technicalities of a never done before, seen before customs arrangement is clearly proving more problematic and significantly, number 10 problematic and significantly, numberio are problematic and significantly, number 10 are now not saying saturdays meeting of parliament is definitely ioo taking place. They have left open the option that could have left open the option that could have to be scrapped and why that matters is borisjohnson does not have a deal by saturday, the benn act kicks in, forcing him to ask for a delay of up to january the 31st. A short delay of a few days into next week to finesse the final details, possibly manageable. A longer delay becomes much more problematic for borisjohnson becomes much more problematic for Boris Johnson and the becomes much more problematic for borisjohnson and the key question, is the gap between the size just a little technical one or a huge great guu . Little technical one or a huge great gulf . In other words, whether this proverbial pathway to a deal is a quick trip around the block or whether it is a meandering, treacherous hike over the political himalayas. Norman smith, in westminster, adam fleming, thank you. The police have banned Extinction Rebellion protests in london, after more than a week of disruption. They warned protesters they would be arrested if they continue to demonstrate. Officers have been clearing Climate Change demonstrators from Trafalgar Square overnight. The group have called the city wide ban an outrage. Our correspondence is at the last remaining camp in london and our people staying or will they go . That is the question a lot are asking themselves today. There are still a lot of tents, fewer than this morning because police have moved through the camp telling people they should pack up and move out. That is what many are doing. Albeit relu cta ntly. What many are doing. Albeit reluctantly. Officers move swiftly through Trafalgar Square last night, clearing the camp there and ordering Group Protests linked to Extinction Rebellion to end citing serious disruption to the neighbourhood. Extinction rebellion organisers have complained, saying it was heavy handed and not acceptable and it breached they say their right to peaceful protest. London mayor sadiq khan expressed concern saying he has asked for more information from officers about why it was cleared although he has noted what he calls the undue pressure put on overstretched police officers. Is the protest over . Not yet. We are nine days or so into what was supposed to be two weeks of demonstrations and the organisers say they will continue and this morning, one of the co founders of Extinction Rebellion climbed onto one of the entrances of the department for transport and tried to break the glass before being arrested with three others. That arrested with three others. That arrest total is moving towards 1500. Others were arrested outside m15 and there is a protest outside a major building in westminster and outside tate modern. While police are clearly moving to shutdown the protest, organisers it seems determined to keep going. Thank you. The bulgarian Prime Minister has called for the head of the countrys Football Association to resign after england players were racially abused in a european qualifier in sofia. The game which england won 6 0 had to be halted twice because home fans were making monkey noises and nazi salutes. Borisjohnson and the Football Association have demanded that uefa take tough and immediate action. Our Sports Correspondent joe wilson reports. You could say this game began with Marcus Rashfords blistering finish to score the first england goal. In fact, it began before that. It began when englands players first heard the monkey chants, the racial abuse. Whistling. I mean, i heard it before i even got to the other side of the pitch in the warm up. We spoke about it coming off the pitch after the warm up and then, obviously, it was happening in the game but, like i said, its difficult to categorise the whole country. I think its perhaps a minority and the second half was a lot better, so perhaps a victory all round. Uefa, who ive spoken to throughout the game, at half time and at the end of the game, will be carrying out a thorough investigation not just what the ref saw and what the officials around him saw, but also live footage, witness statements to make sure that this appalling scene of terrible racism is treated appropriately. There were intense discussions between england players, management and officials through the first half and an announcement was made to the crowd that the referee might suspend the game if the abuse continued. It was greeted by boos. There were nazi salutes in the ground. When englands players left this pitch at half time, they then actually discussed whether they should even carry on with the match. They decided to play on and englands captain told me he believes that was the right decision. Everyone wanted to carry on and do their talking on the pitch, which im extremely proud of. Its not easy to play in circumstances like that, but the 6 0 and the way we played, the manner in which we played, im extremely proud of, for sure. Englands manager felt they had handled the situation in the best way. Im incredibly proud of all of the players and all of the staff. I dont think. Of course, we could be criticised for not going far enough, but i think weve made a huge statement and, frankly, we were in an impossible situation to get it right to the satisfaction of everybody. But bulgarias manager gave a different perspective. Translation i was totally concentrated on the game. I didnt actually hear anything, but ive just talked to the English Press officers and i told them that if this is proven to be true, then we will have to be ashamed and apologise for it. But, once again, firstly, it has to be proven to be true. One answer to the abuse was the scoreline. Commentator up towards kane. Manager Gareth Southgate has openly acknowledged that english football has its own issues to deal with, but racism was displayed in its starkest, most blatant form in bulgaria. Englands players exposed it, but the reaction cant stop here. It is worth remembering that the bulgarian football authorities were angry when england even brought up the issue of racism in the build up to this game. We heard bulgarias manager tell us there was not an issue in this country with racism. Clearly, racism stretches way beyond bulgaria, but nothing was ever changed in a spirit of denial. Joe wilson, bbc news, in sofia. Hate crimes in england and wales have reached a record high. Figures from the home office show there has been a 10 rise from the previous year. More than three quarter of the offences were related to racism. Transgender hate crime increased by more than a third from the year before. Our Home Affairs Correspondent sarah corker reports. There has been a rise in all types of hate crimes reported to police. But it is racially motivated offences that make up the majority. At the east london mosque, this woman supports muslim women who have been subjected to hate crimes. She has been targeted also. My childhood experiences, being kicked by doc martin boots, racial abuse. Experiences, being kicked by doc martin boots, racialabuse. Going back home. I have been brought up here. This is my home. Figures show there were more than 100,000 hate crime offences recorded by police in england and wales in 2018 19, a Record Number and a 10 rise on last year. Race hate crimes accounted for around three quarters of all offences, more than 78,000 cases. There needs to be Difficult Conversations around the subtle forms of islamophobia and other forms of islamophobia and other forms of islamophobia and other forms of discrimination in British Culture because we see forms of hate rise when they become embedded in the culture. And transgender hate crime has risen by 37 . Josie said she has been verbally and physically abused on the tube and in the street more than 150 times. Some things go deep, things like, you should have been strangled at birth, people like you do not deserve to live. And they walk away and i am left standing there going. The Home Office Said there going. The Home Office Said the rise is partly due to better reporting and recording by police forces, but there was a spike in incidents after terror attacks in 2017 and the eu referendum. Figures show few of these cases are being solved. Police forces are under pressure to do more to catch those responsible. The time is 1 16pm. Our top story this lunchtime. The eus chief brexit negotiator Michel Barnier says adr needs to be agreed by tonight if it is to be signed off at the eu Leaders Summit this week. And coming up, mps called on former thomas cook bosses to hand back bonuses to help employees after the travel firm collapsed. Coming up on bbc news, with uefa under pressure to act following last nights racist behaviour in bulgaria, we will assess what response is likely to come from european footballs governing body. Pressure is growing on turkey over its attack on Kurdish Forces in Northern Syria. Overnight economic sanctions were imposed on this Morning Britain has announced they will be no new arms sales to turkey. President erdogan has insisted he wont back down from his campaign against what he describes as terrorists and wants to create a safe centre stop casualties have been mounting in around 160,000 people have been forced from their homes. Week two of the turkish invasion and there is no let up. Intense battles this morning in this Syrian Border town. Turkish troops have pounded targets but Kurdish Forces have fought back. Turkey and the syrian fighters it supports have taken over 60 miles from the kurds they call terrorists. They have made a rapid advance, taking down kurdish control in key areas. The kurds have now called in help from the assad regime, giving his forces free rein into towns they lost seven years ago. It is compromise or genocide, said one kurdish commander. And the pullback has allowed some Islamic State fighters the kurds were guarding to break free. This is said to be an empty prison where some had been held. The kurds have got other worries now. Turkey is drawing International Condemnation britain halting new arms export licences to ankara, and the us has slapped sanctions on turkish ministers and tariffs on its steel. The Vice President denied that Donald Trumps decision to withdraw troops from syria gave turkey a green light to move in. At the president s direction the United States has imposed punishing sanctions on turkey and made it very clear that that will only be the beginning, unless turkey is willing to embrace a ceasefire, come to the negotiating table and end the violence. Meanwhile, kurdish fighters and civilians are dying, dozens killed in the past week. More than 10,000 kurds have died fighting is. This, they say, is how the west repays them. And the humanitarian crisis is building, 160,000 displaced in the last few days. Turkeys leader is pushing on, vowing to secure the region. But for old and young, in place of security there is fresh bloodshed, fresh foes and a deepening of syrias nightmare. Mark lowen, bbc news. The former boss of thomas cook has defended a bonus payment of 500,000 pounds and said he was not the only one to blame for the collapse of the holiday operator. Peter fankhauser and four other Senior Executives have been giving evidence to a Cross Party Group of mps. Last week hays travel announced it would take over all of thomas cook stores, in a deal that could potentially save thousands ofjobs. It emerged that the tour company had a £1. 7 billion debt pile. Simon gompertz reports. A day of reckoning in front of mps for thomas cooks bosses, led by the former chief executive Peter Funkhouser. We understand that the colla pse funkhouser. We understand that the collapse of thomas cook caused a huge amount of stress, disruption and difficulty. Me and my colleagues are still devastated about the outcome. Since the collapse, questions have been brimming over from politicians and from thomas cooks staff, including airline crew who thought they were making a profit. We were doing very, very well, and we are wondering why we we re allowed well, and we are wondering why we were allowed to field, actually made to fail when the rest of the company went. Mps homed in on the ceos pay, nearly £9 million, including a half Million Pound cash bonus for 2017. Do you think that bonus should be paid back . I fully understand, i fully understand where you are coming from and i fully understand the sentiment, ifully coming from and i fully understand the sentiment, i fully understand as well the sentiment of some of our colleagues. However what i can say to that is that i worked tirelessly for the success of this company and iam for the success of this company and i am deeply sorry i was not able to secure the deal. The chairman, who was on the £300,000 a year, said the company was crippled by big debts and then bad luck, in the form of the hot summer in 2018, when foreign holidays were less attractive. Then came the heat wave, the anxiety of brexit and the business did no longer survive. But he was told they had brought the company down and should show humility. Had brought the company down and should show humilitylj had brought the company down and should show humility. I think you are deluded about the business you ran. You chaired a business that has got under because of the decisions made collectively by your management team. Stores are now being reopened, after they were bought from the wreckage of the business by a rival. Back here again. So why couldnt the whole group be saved . The bosses say a government rescue would have turned it into the best funded travel company in europe. But Peter Funkhouser remembered over thomas cook was not crucial last six days he was not able to speak directly to a minister about his request for help, only two officials. Me personally at no point in this process from tuesday to sunday we had a government minister on the phone. The clock cant be turned back. Travellers had to be rescued. Thejobs back. Travellers had to be rescued. The jobs went. But mps want lessons to be learned, how such a holiday nightmare could be avoided in future. Regulators have warned that the nhs in england is facing a perfect storm with increasing demand, staff shortages, and patients with learning disabilities stuck in unsuitable hospitals. The Care Quality Commission also says more than half of accident and Emergency Departments are not good enough. But the government insists it is making record investments in the health service. Our social affairs correspondent, alison holt has more. This is the house that adele green hopes will one day be home to her 20 year old son, eddie. But a shortage of support locally means after seven years he is still in a Specialist Mental Health hospital, nearly 200 miles from home. Eddie has learning disabilities and a range of complex problems. When he had a crisis, he ended up in a series of secure hospitals across the country. Todays report by the care regulator warns of deteriorating quality and a lack of Skilled Staff in such places, familiar concerns for eddies family. We knew of a time when he was locked away in a seclusion room for about four months, fed through a hatch, not given the medication because there wasnt the right staff there to give it. I wouldnt treat an animal like that and they have treated my child like that. In 2018, inspectors who visited hospitals for people with learning difficulties and autism rated 1 as inadequate. This year, 10 have been given this lowest rating. Last year, inspections of inpatient Mental Health services for children and teenagers found 3 were inadequate. Now, 7 are failing to meet standards. What we have seen is a perfect storm brewing, an increase in demand, plus some real concerns over the workforce. And what that means in practical terms is there has been a significant reduction in the numberof learning disability nurses. Which means that the carers that are looking after people with incredibly complex needs dont have the support and the skills necessary. Psychiatrist leaders say they too are worried by the lack of change in these institutions, despite government promises. It is bad, its an emergency. The will is there to sort this out and solve it but it isnt an easy problem, which is why i have called for a Public Inquiry with a high courtjudge, who might help us to untangle what is happening and make some changes that really will make a difference. But the coc report shows pressures across the health and care system. And it is overstretched Emergency Departments that are picking up the pieces when people cannot get the right help. The government says record money has gone into the nhs and that it is transforming Mental Health services. Alison holt, bbc news. The government is publishing what it calls a landmark bill to tackle urgent environmental problems. It aims to improve air and water quality, tackle plastic pollution, restore wildlife and protect the climate. Environmentalists have welcomed several of the proposals, labour says the bill is irrelevant because the government wont be able to deliver it. Across Britain Children are being harmed by particles from exhaust, tyres and brakes. Today ,the government promises legally binding targets to curb that particle pollution. The treasury was previously blocking that but there are no details yet in this Multi Purpose bill. It will set a framework for legally binding targets on issues such as protection of nature and biodiversity, on air quality, on water, to help us set a plan to meet demanding environmental goals. The plans for Nature Recovery Networks through woods, fields and rivers have been welcomed. Waterways will be protected too. And after brexit, the government will be held to account by a new watchdog, the office of environmental protection. Ministers say it will have strong powers, but it wont be able to fine the government, like the eu can. Environmentalists say that is a mistake. Something that needs to be part of its toolkit, if you like, is the power to issue fines, which is absent at the moment. And we know from our experience across europe that this is one of the most powerful and effective remedies that the europeans have to actually ensure that the law is upheld. And what about the Global Impact of how the uk lives . The amazons being cleared in part to produce the beef thats eaten in britain. Todays announcement is a huge step forward, but equally, while were putting strong legislation in place here at home, we need to take into account our footprint around the world. We import untold levels of commodities and what we can do is just shift the environmental blame elsewhere. Meanwhile, the governments still pursuing goals that increase pollution, like expanding heathrow, building more roads and subsidising Oil Exploration and fracking. Campaigners wont stop until the pollution stops. Roger harriban, bbc news. The duke and duchess of cambridge have met the pakistan Prime Minister on theirfirst full day have met the pakistan Prime Minister on their first full day of the country. Secunda kamali has been following the royal couple. His report contains some flash photography. The royal trip kicked off with a visit to a school in islamabad. Education, along with Climate Change, are understood to be the issues the duke and duchess of cambridge want to focus on in particular whilst in pakistan. They also met the countrys Prime Minister, cricketer turned politician imran khan. For both countries, this is a Key International relationship. In pakistan, this royal visit is being seen as an opportunity to highlight how much security has improved in recent years. The authorities here are keen on attracting more Foreign Investment and more foreign tourists. British Officials Say this trip will focus on showing pakistan as a forward looking country and that is something many ordinary people here welcome. I mean, it is a great message to the world outside to tell how pakistan is a new country, we are up and blooming and we are not as what they portray us to be. The timing is really good, pakistan needs to improve its image and Prince William and kate, who are visiting pakistan, we welcome them. The tour will have an added emotional significance for Prince William, as he traces some of his late mothers footsteps. Princess diana made three visits here during the 19905 and is still warmly remembered. This woman was a leading politician assigned to look after diana during her first visit in 1991. There was a sort of magic which surrounded her. She was like a fairy tale princess and women especially came out to see this fairy tale princess. Later this week, the royal couple will be travelling to the city of lahore, to the mountainous north of pakistan. Security preparations have been intense but the couple are said to want to see as much of the country as possible. Secunder kermani, bbc news, islamabad.
