Back at the peterloo massacre 200 years on. Good morning. Welcome to bbc newsroom live. We start with breaking news this hour a Police Officer has been killed in berkshire. It happened last night as pc Andrew Harper was attending reports of a burglary near to the a4 between reading and newbury. Thames Valley Police have released a statement. Thames Valley Police say 10 people have been arrested. Some of the information we have from the statement that has been posted on their website. A Murder Investigation has been launched after a Thames Valley Police Officer died following an incident in berkshire. This happened at around 11 30pm last night close to the all. Bath road, between reading and newbury. The incident happened at the crossroads of ufton lane and lambdens hill, near to sulhamstead. Danny shaw is with me with more. Ten people have been arrested, all male aged between 13 and 30 according to thames Valley Police. It appears the Police Officer, pc Andrew Harper, was investigating a reported burglary. Some altercation or incident followed. I have received an unconfirmed report at this stage, it is unconfirmed and it has not come from thames Valley Police, that what happened was that he was struck bya what happened was that he was struck by a vehicle after attending this possible burglary and he was dragged under the carfor some possible burglary and he was dragged under the car for some distance. Possible burglary and he was dragged under the carfor some distance. He may then have been struck by another car. I should say that is not confirmed at this stage, but that is certainly a possibility that the police will be investigating. But it will heighten concerns about protection for Police Officers as they go about their duties, particularly after a couple of other incidents involving Police Officers across the country in other areas. It will raise concerns again about the levels of serious violence. We know the home office has promised an extra 20,000 Police Officers to boost numbers and capability on the streets and this brings into sharp focus the danger is that officers face every day. It is always very shocking when a Police Officer is injured in the line of duty. There has been a statement from the Deputy Police constable jason hogg in relation to this. He says, our deepest thoughts at this time are with Andrew Harpers friends and family, who are being supported by specially trained family liaison officers. He says thoughts are extended to his colleagues at thames Valley Police. As a force we are devastated at the loss of our colleague and we will support each other at this difficult time. This is something that will be felt keenly by the policing family and by wider Police Officers. When ever, and it is rare, but whenever an officer is killed in the line of duty, it sends deep shock waves right throughout the policing fraternity, and this will be no exception. It is fortunately a rare occurrence for a Police Officer to be killed in the line of duty. For those joining be killed in the line of duty. For thosejoining us, if you can reiterate what we know about what happened in berkshire. Thames Valley Police have confirmed a Murder Investigation has been launched following what they say is a serious incident at around 11 30pm last night close to the a4 bath road between reading and newbury. It during the incident, pc Andrew Harper, part of the roads police Proactive Unit based at abingdon, he was attending a burglary and he was killed, thames Valley Police say, while performing his duties. There is now a Murder Investigation in place and ten people are in custody in connection with that. Danny shaw, thank you for telling us about what is known so far. And we will have more on that story as we get it. The leader of the liberal democrats, jo swinson, claims she has talked with senior figures in the conservative and labour parties who would be prepared to lead an emergency government to stop a no deal brexit. It comes afterJeremy Corbyns plan to prevent a no deal brexit, by being installed as a caretaker pm, was met with opposition from key potential allies. Lets get more on this with our political correspondent, helena wilkinson. Lots of debate still going on about this. And what we are seeing at the moment is Opposition Party is trying to come up with a way to try and stop a no deal brexit on the 31st 0ctober. And in particular they are trying to work out who would lead an emergency government in the event a vote of no confidence is won against the government. We knowJeremy Corbyns plans that he announced yesterday, he says if that vote of no confidence is won against the government, then he would be the man to be caretaker Prime Minister in the event of that situation. The leader of the liberal democrats, jo swinson, has described his plans as nonsense, but she has come under quite a bit of criticism for dismissing mr corbyns plans. She has an alternative, she thinks there are two people who would be willing and prepared to lead an emergency government in the event of that situation. Harriet harman, a labour mp, and ken clarke, the conservative mp. They are the longest continuously running mps. Jo swinson says both of them have the experience and would get cross party support. Whats new today is we have heard from jo swinson, who has said she has spoken to both Harriet Harman and ken clarke about whether they would step in as an emergency government. We heard from her earlier on the today programme on radio four. You suggested someone else ought to take leadership of this government. Somebody you have suggested, like ken clarke or Harriet Harman. Have you actually asked either of them if they would be prepared to do it . Yeah, i have been in touch with them, because obviously you dontjust mention peoples names without checking that they are ok with that. I mean, both of those are long serving members of parliament, the most experienced mps in the house, the father and mother of the house, as they are called in the house of commons. And did they actually say to you that they were prepared to lead a government of National Unity . Yeah. They. They put public duty first. They dont want to see a no deal brexit and if the house of commons asks them to lead an emergency government to get our country out of this brexit mess and to stop us driving off that cliff to a no deal, then, yes, they are prepared to do that, and i think thats to their credit. Leader of the liberal Democratsjo Swinson speaking to radio four earlier today. We have not had any confirmation that Harriet Harman or ken clarke would agree to that situation. You have to ask how effective this will be. We have opposition parties not agreeing at this stage and not being able to compromise on how they would be able to stop a no deal brexit. We are in the middle of august. That date of 0ctober the middle of august. That date of october 31 is looming ever closer and they could end upjust continuing to debate and nothing gets done. Another story that is unfolding through this morning. Turkeys military pension fund has reached a tentative deal to buy British Steel. 0yak said it plans to take over the firm, which was put into complusory liquidation in ma, by the end of the year. British steel, which owns the scunthorpe steel works where 3,000 people work, was in rescue talks with the government, but they broke down. Our Business Editor simon jack joins me now. What do we know . British steel has been run by the official receiver since it was liquidated in may. In total there are a500 workers there whose future has been in doubt. During that period, the official receiver has been sifting through a number of bids through all or part of the company. They have decided that the best bid in their view is one from the Turkish Military pension fund. Government sources working on this deal up until recently said it has been for some time been considered head and shoulders the best deal. This will mean there will now be exclusive talks, they will have exclusive access to the company, its books, and they will do their process of due diligence. At the end of which we hope, it is not guaranteed, but they will buy the company out of liquidation. A package of Government Support is being made available, 700 million in loan guarantees. This is being tentatively welcomed by unions and British Steel themselves, saying it looks like they have now got a future. It is quite interesting, a Turkish Military pension fund, you might think that seems odd and yes it is, but they also have things like joint it is, but they also have things likejoint ventures it is, but they also have things like joint ventures with renault, they own car production plants. Its a big Investment Fund so they have plenty of money. They also own 50 of turkeys biggest steel producer and its thought the two plants could be quite complimentary so people are relatively positive about it today. As part of the bid, how much information does a firm have to give about their plans, investment and jobs and so on . They have to give a and jobs and so on . They have to giveafairamount and jobs and so on . They have to give a fair amount and its on that basis of this bid was considered superior, not only because they have the most financial muscle of the bidders looking at this, but its thought the turkish plan involved the fewest redundancies and the most production ramp up. On that basis, they will get more investment in the company from this turkish bid, fewer redundancies. They have plenty of financial firepower. It is quite odd that its a military pension fund, which supplements pensions and makes loa ns which supplements pensions and makes loans available for veterans of the Turkish Armed forces, but they said to think of us like the ontario teachers fund, which owns big things like hs one. Its a big financial fund, invests for the long term, and it has the nod to go ahead. Not guaranteed, but i think it is being welcomed this morning. As a final thought, how much of a challenge will it be because it has been a rocky road for British Steel, so are they taking on something that is quite tough . You are right to say it isa quite tough . You are right to say it is a tough time for the Steel Industry. We have seen steel prices colla pse industry. We have seen steel prices collapse since 2016 but they have come back a little bit since then. There are issues about the economics of making steel. Cheap steel coming in from china. You have very high energy costs and Business Rates here make it challenging. I would expect the government to look at a package of support that is not just labour guarantees but to see if they can do anything on energy costs and put it onafirm anything on energy costs and put it on a firm footing. But certainly a500 workers in and around scunthorpe will be breathing a sigh of relief. Its not guaranteed, but its looking positive. Simon jack, thank you. The family of a lawyer who was stabbed to death with a screwdriver outside a busy Shopping Centre in newcastle have described him as a kind and caring man who was always first to help others. Peter duncan died in hospital following the incident near eldon square on wednesday evening. Seven teenage boys aged between 1a and 17 remain in custody on suspicion of murder. Andy moore reports. It was an attack in broad daylight, just outside this busy Shopping Centre. Peter duncan, a lawyer, was taken to hospital after being stabbed, but could not be saved. His family described him as a kind and caring man who was always first to help others. They said he would be deeply missed, and his death would leave a huge hole in their lives. It appears to have been a chance encounter between the victim and the offender which then led to, became what appears to have been an unprovoked attack. We believe the weapon to have been a screwdriver and the fatal injury to be as a result of a single puncture wound. Seven boys aged between 1a and 17 remain in custody after being arrested in connection with the murder. Police said one of them is believed to be the main suspect. Andy moore, bbc news.

The National Grid is to send its initial report to the Energy Regulator 0fgem, looking at the power failure which caused such widespread disruption a week ago. Its expected to give more information about exactly what happened but is unlikely to offer much insight into why Certain Services like trains were so badly affected. Theo legget reports. Trains stopped, passengers were left stranded, and railway stations were in chaos. Nearly a million homes were plunged into darkness across the country, and Traffic Control systems stopped working as well. National grid says last weeks power system failure was exceptional. Todays initial report is expected to provide more detail about exactly what happened, and when. We already know what triggered the blackouts. First, this power station in bedfordshire developed a problem and disconnected itself from the grid. At almost the same time, a wind farm in the north sea also went offline. That created instability in the grid, and triggered an automatic 5 cut in supplies. Within seven minutes, new sources of power had been brought in, and the system was running normally again. But, across the country, disruption lasted for hours. 0fgem will want to know why the knock on effects were so severe, and why Critical Infrastructure such as railways and hospitals, like this one in ipswich, lost power. Normally, their supplieswould be protected. Some experts believe the growth of Renewable Energy sources has made the electricity grid more difficult to manage, while critics say a lack of investment has left it more vulnerable to serious failures. Todays report is unlikely to provide comprehensive answers. Investigations including a separate government inquiry will take weeks. But answers will eventually be needed, because its clear that something, somewhere, went very badly wrong. Theo leggett, bbc news. Im joined now by david hunter, director of Market Studies at Energy Management firm schneider electric. Thank you for being with us. A lot of whys to uncover. Indeed. We know what happened and now we are waiting to understand why it happened and also the lessons we can learn for the future as a result. What are some of the main concerns . It seems like this idea of the automatic load shedding somehow may have gone wrong in that it ended up with quite Critical Services being affected and presumably the idea normally is that if there is any shortage of power, people who dont matter get affected rather than important Railway Services and in this case a hospital. From the National Grid perspective, its challenging to manage these managed outages to local areas and maintain frequently across the same level across the grid but you are absolutely right, we have to look at situations where Critical Infrastructure was obstructed, but we have to understand this was a very rare event that last happened 11 years ago. It isnt very common. But secondly, you mentioned hospitals for example, its really important to those hospitals have resilience plans and back up Generation Power stations that they do. We learned from last week, we need to make sure they work absolutely as planned so they work absolutely as planned so they can provide Uninterrupted Power Services and secure power to Critical Infrastructure. Obviously an opportunity for lots of different organisations to look at how they are supplied with power. My understanding is, if there is this shortfall of power then there is in the first place meant to be some sort of reserve that the grid can draw on. Why do you think that didnt happen in this case . We are still waiting to find out the detail, but you are right in that there are a number of tools in the National Grids box to dip into for reserve power and that obviously came back relatively quickly, but not quick enough to prevent these blackouts. Whats unusual about this, the fact that two power stations, almost 1. 5 gigawatts of power reduced within seconds of each other and thats a lot of power to make up quickly. We have to remember, if that back up power is to be always available, it comes with significant cost. The other thing to bear in mind, in the future, energy will continue to decarbonise and become cleaner, and decentralise and digitise as well so the future of energy will be less National Grid top down, a reduced reliance on that aspect, but more from the consumer up, potentially looking at electric vehicles, Energy Storage in batteries and the potential for those to provide energy to the grid in emergency situations and we need to look into investing in that as the digitisation and demand side, the two way nature of the future demand. And there have been concerns around renewables, the fact we are moving to wind and solar power. In a way thats great, but its all intermittent sources of energy and that has its own issues. We have to remember how rare an event this was. There is no indication that it was specifically a wind related issue. A wind power station went off line, but so did a fossil fuel power station. You are right that wind and solar, if the wind doesnt blow and the sun doesnt shine, their intermittent nature, we need to make up intermittent nature, we need to make upfor intermittent nature, we need to make up for these variations. But so far we are doing a pretty good job because thats already a feature. We have a lot of wind and solar already in the system but it will be an ongoing challenge to make sure we can keep Energy Secure as these intermittent sources increase in the energy mix. As i mentioned, technology, demand response and Energy Storage are technology, demand response and Energy Storage are some technology, demand response and Energy Storage are some of the ways we will seek to do that. David hunter, thank you very much indeed. We are expecting that initial report from the National Grid by the end of the day. A man from surrey has admitted trying to murder a bulgarian teenager in what prosecutors are calling a far right terrorist incident. Vincent fuller pleaded guilty to two offences at Kingston Crown Court after he attacked 19 year old, Dimitar Mihaylov in march. Mr fuller told his victim you are going to die before stabbing him in the hand and neck. He denied it was a terrorist act but accepted it was racially motivated. Our correspondent Richard Galpin is outside Kingston Crown Court where the trial is taking place. What has the court been hearing . 0bviously what has the court been hearing . Obviously a very important hearing. The prosecution are saying this was afar right the prosecution are saying this was a far right terrorist incident and they want him to be prosecuted for terrorism, which would entail a very severe prison sentence if he were to be found guilty of that. Vincent fuller denies it was an act of terrorism but admits racially aggravated harassment, alarm or distress. This attack took place literally the day after the horrific attacks in new zealand by a far right extremist man in which 51 muslims were killed in new zealand in several mosques in the area. We heard that vincent fuller, in a facebook posting, had said, i agree with what the gunman did in new zealand. During this attack in sta nwell in march, zealand. During this attack in stanwell in march, fuller also is said to have been heard shouting, White Supremacy rules, and i am going to kill muslims. This is why the prosecution are trying to bring a terrorist charge against him, because it seems that there is an alleged political motivation. He also, before stabbing mr mihaylov, went out with a baseball bat and threatened a neighbour of south asian descent. He then went down smashing cars and we understand he broke the baseball bat, went back to his home, got a knife and then came back out, which is when the stabbing ofa back out, which is when the stabbing of a bulgarian teenager, who had been sitting in his car in a tesco car park, thats when the stabbing took place. He was stabbed in the hand and mr mihaylov also had a cut to his neck. The next hearing will be sentencing, and that will be on fifth september. Richard galpin at Kingston Crown Court, thank you. Hundreds of Chinese Military personnel have gathered at a sports stadium in the city of shenzen, just across the border from hong kong. Dozens of armoured personnel carriers and supply trucks are also parked nearby. It comes after chinas ambassador to london warned that beijing had enough power to quell the unrest swiftly. More pro democracy demonstrations are expected later today and across the weekend in hong kong. Zimbabwean police fired tear gas and attacked more than a 100 opposition supporters with batons after they defied a protest ban in central harare, witnesses said.

Demonstrations were initially called to protest at zimbabwes worsening economic situation. About 5 million zimbabweans are in need of food aid, according to the un. North korea has fired two missiles into the sea, according to the south korean military. Its the sixth weapons test in less than a month by pyongyang, which has released a statement saying it has no intention of sitting down for talks with south korea again. Lets get more now on the breaking news that a Police Officer has been killed in berkshire. A Murder Investigation has been launched into that incident. It happened last night as pc Andrew Harper was attending reports of a burglary near to the aa between reading and newbury. We are trying to show you some aerial pictures of the scene where that happened. But unfortunately we are having some technical problems. We have had a statement from thames Valley Police who say they have made a total of ten arrests in connection with the incident. Those arrested are currently in Police Custody. They are all male and aged between 13 and 30. This is the scene, and according to information from thames Valley Police, the incident happened ata Valley Police, the incident happened at a crossroads. Lets speak to Charlotte Winfield whos in sulhamstead where the incident happened. Remind us what we know about the incident. So far we know thames Valley Police have launched a Murder Investigation after a Thames Valley Police Officer died following an incident where i am now, last night at around incident where i am now, last night ataround11 30pm. Incident where i am now, last night at around 11 30pm. It is at a crossroads along a really busy road, the aa that joins crossroads along a really busy road, the aa thatjoins reading and newbury. There are constantly cars and lorries going up and down here at all hours of the day. We know pc Andrew Harper was sadly killed when he was attending a reported burglary. He was based at the Abingdon Police station. He was here attending a reported burglary. There isa attending a reported burglary. There is a scene watch still in place and both of the route roads off the aa have been closed but the aa itself has reopened. In the last few moments Additional Police vehicles have turned up, i have seen forensics coming and going from the site as well. There are police at both ends of the road stopping anyone coming and going from the area. People are stopping and looking and are concerned about what happened here. Thames Valley Police we know have made some arrests. They have. Ten people have been arrested after this happened, arrested on suspicion of murder and they are currently in custody at various police stations across the Thames Valley. A statement from the police, their deepest thoughts at this time with andrews friends and family, who are being supported by specially trained family liaison officers. And this is their colleague as well, so all of those colleagues will be supporting each other at a difficult time. The police are now stopping cars, pulling them up onto the lay by. People are stopping to ask questions as well. People are clearly concerned and there are more offices going down to the cordoned offices going down to the cordoned off area at the moment. I notice from the statement from thames Valley Police that they are appealing for witnesses. It was a busy area. 11 30pm at night. Its quite possible there would have been people driving past at around this time because it is a busy area. They are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident to get in touch and if anyone has any information at all, no matter how insignificant it might seem, to get in touch and help with the investigation. The information around the incident is a little sketchy at the moment. Remind us what we know, pc Andrew Harper was attending a reported burglary. The moment, the information around what has happened is very limited. We understand it is a Murder Investigation and thats after pc Andrew Harper was attending a reported burglary and they say he was killed whilst performing his duty but they have given no information on how that happened or how the incident occurred. Charlotte winfield, thank you. We will bring you more on that as it unfolds. The headlines in a moment but now the weather with simon. The weekend looking promising for many of us but before we get there we have heavy rain across many parts of the uk. We can see from the earlier rainfall radar, this mass of blue moving from west to east. The rain not quite with you yet. In east anglia and the south east it will push in after lunchtime and the rain heavy around lunchtime especially around south west england, wales and the midlands. Green is indicative of heavier rain forced up clear in Northern Ireland and scotland, but windy for all of us. The potential for gusts of 50 mph around the coasts. Highest temperatures likely in Northern Ireland, 22 celsius. Elsewhere disappointing with the wind and rain. Through this evening, the rain still with you over the east, but finally clearing away through saturday. A few showers across northern and western parts of the uk over saturday and sunday but for many, dry with some sunshine. 0ne for many, dry with some sunshine. One thing to note, it will still be quite windy on both days with high gusts of wind. Hello, this is bbc newsroom live.

We start at lords, where england are hoping to do to australia what was done to them yesterday when their fragile batting line up let them down. They were bowled out for 258. Glimmers of hope at the end of the day, however, when stuart broad took the big wicket of david warner. And now they need to keep up the momentum. 0ur sports correspondentjoe wilson joins us now from lords. What is the feeling like there this morning . I would say the feeling is murky and chilly and currently im trying to ignore those drops of drizzle which i think are falling from the sky. We are not sure how much play we will get today. At the moment, the floodlights are in full effect, and that normally is the conditions which really favour the bowlers, the red ball tends to move around in these atmospheric conditions. So for we have seen jofra Archer Bowling and stuart broad bully, chris woakes having a go but no wickets so far for england. Khawaja and bancroft are resisting for australia. Steve smith still to come. As they go past 60, 70, as the morning progresses, englands lead is already below 200 and 200.

Joining me now to talk about this is harish patel, National Officer for steel at unite the union. Thank you for being with us. What do you make of this news . thank you for being with us. What do you make of this news . I think it is welcome news, at least a relief for all of our members in the workforce particularly employed at British Steel but this is the beginning of a process in terms of, we too havent reached the end mark foster obviously discussions will continue to secure a Sustainable Future for the Steel Industry. What would be the Steel Industry. What would be the input of unite . What are you hoping to hear the future plans . We wa nt to hoping to hear the future plans . We want to look at the Business Plan and the long term Business Plan with the company and how they plan to put investment into scu nthorpe the company and how they plan to put investment into scunthorpe and our other sites. That is key in terms of our involvement and also looking at the government to ensure they look ata the government to ensure they look at a level Playing Field in terms of energy costs, Business Rates, and indeed an additional strategy, which with brexit coming up, we dont want to be ina with brexit coming up, we dont want to be in a situation where steel would be uncompetitive. How hopeful are you that the British Government has plans to hear what youre saying and perhaps take action on some of those issues . So far they have made positive noises. The little bit they have done is very positive. We hope that dialogue will continue in the input from the government will continue. We have to ensure we have a Sustainable Future for the Steel Industry in the uk. Mentioned when it became apparent that it was a Turkish Company that was interested in taking over British Steel that although it was welcome, you said you would be watching closely, speaking with the turkish unions, giving the racket of the country for oppression. Do you have any concerns on that front . That is yet to come as far as we are concerned. At this moment we welcomed the news, it has lifted a burden on our members in terms of security, at least going forward. Each step, we look forward with confidence. We have to make sure we have a sustainable Steel Industry. As to the politics in turkey, that is a separate matter. We wa nt turkey, that is a separate matter. We want to build a positive relationship with the new owners in the uk for the sustainability of the Steel Industry in the uk. And give us Steel Industry in the uk. And give usa Steel Industry in the uk. And give us a sense Steel Industry in the uk. And give us a sense of what this news will happen to workers who no doubt will have been concerned about the possible future of their jobs. Have been concerned about the possible future of theirjobslj think its very welcome, all the workers have been really positive so farand workers have been really positive so far and this has lifted a lot of the burden on the shoulders. At least it shows there is a future there and it is about working to make sure we Work Together to create a sustainable industry, which is profitable for the uk Steel Industry. Thank you very much indeed. A Civil Rights Group has warned the use of facial Recognition Systems in Public Places across the uk has reached epidemic levels. big brother watch says the technology, which can scan peoples faces in crowds, comparing them with databases of criminals, is a threat to privacy. We are nowjoined by silkie carlo, the director of civil Liberty Group big brother watch. Tell us more about how widely you believe the systems are being used. It seems to be all over the place. Shopping centres, even museums, conference centres, casinos, and kings cross, as was found last week. Lots of spaces that millions of people go through all the time. They are having their photo taken, their identities checked, their data being taken, dont know whats happening with that data, and this is all happening without us knowing about it. I think it is really Important Information we are putting out today, that the important thing that needs to happen next is action needs to be taking. We are urging the government to urgently put in place a ban on this technology. The government to urgently put in place a ban on this technologym that a ban for the foreseeable future, just while you feel that questions are asked and there is a debate to be had . I think there is a really immediate, pressing issue about putting in place a ban right now because peoples rights are being eroded and there isnt a Legal Framework so it is happening in a com plete framework so it is happening in a complete vacuum. With police uses of facial recognition we have witnessed innocent people being stopped, asked to present id, having their photos put on databases, and in the context of what is happening in the private sector with Shopping Centres and so on, part of the problem is getting the information. We dont know who is collecting the data, where it is going, what is happening with the photographs, and this is affecting probably tens of millions of people in britain. What is your understanding of the moment of what organisations want to use that technology and what they have to do . There is a suggestion from the information commissioner that there is law in place and that organisations have to comply with it inafair, organisations have to comply with it in a fair, transparent and accountable way, do you dispute that is happening . I think there is a grey area here. There are ministers who have said in parliament this is happening without a Legal Framework. Data regulation is part of the picture. It is certainly not the whole picture. This is a much bigger issue that affects peoples rights. It affects our liberties. Normally ina it affects our liberties. Normally in a democracy we dont expect our identity to be checked for no good reason for stock certainly do not expect mass surveillance of millions of people, which is what is happening. It is certainly something that needs a much bigger consideration and parliamentary Decision Making and we hope ultimately a ban, because really in no other democracy do we see facial recognition surveillance being used, only really in china do we see that only really in china do we see that on the same scale as happening in britain. There will be people who say given the terrorist threat that we live under in this modern age and so on, there is a case to allow police for example to use all means at their disposal to try and pick people out of a crowd at a busy arena, much arena or a big event, where there is a risk to Public Safety manchester arena, or may be people who have in ill intent ina be people who have in ill intent in a crowd. We all want security but i dont gwee want to be a security state. Thats what this Technology Risks doing. We are notjust talking about tracking people suspected of crime, we are talking about tracking millions of people at one time. Thats just not fitting in a democracy, it needs to stop. Thanks for your time. In democracy, it needs to stop. Thanks foryourtime. Ina democracy, it needs to stop. Thanks foryourtime. In a moment, all the business news. First, the headlines.

A blow to debenhams today ted baker has announced its ending its partnership to sell child rens clothing through debenhams and is switching to next. It has signed a five year deal with next, who will create and sell ted baker branded clothes, shoes and accessories for babies and children. Changes at the top for Cathay Pacific. The chief executive of Cathay Pacific, rupert hogg, has resigned in the wake of the protests in hong kong. Paul loo is also leaving as chief customer and commercial officer. Mr hogg warned on monday staff could be fired if they support or participate in illegal protests in hong kong. Karishma vaswani is our Asia Business correspondent she joins us from singapore. First, give us the background to all of this. Well, this has come as a real shock for the aviation industry, because rupert hogg was widely seen as the man that turned the fortunes of the airline around. He is seen as a steady pair of hands. But the airline itself has become very complicated situation for the airline the last few weeks with the protests, the pro democracy protests taking place in hong kong. Initially, the airline had said it would not stop its staff from participating in these protests, but it had to backtrack on that policy decision after getting pressure from beijing, from the chinese Civil Aviation authorities, who had ordered Cathay Pacific to crack down on any of its staff who were found to be participating in these protests so as a result, mr hogg then said anyone who did do that would be fired and would be suspended, they eventually did end up suspended, they eventually did end upfiring suspended, they eventually did end up firing several of their Staff Members for their parts in the protest. But the resignation has come as a result of what Cathay Pacific has called a sensitive time, and ina pacific has called a sensitive time, and in a statement accompanying the decision to resign, mr hogg has said that he has to take responsibility for what had been challenging weeks at the airline and in hong kong. And this comes at a very difficult time for hong kong, and itjust shows us how business and politics doesnt mix . Absolutely, and i think increasingly, what you are seeing is just how much pressure beijing can exert on corporate hong kong. Hong kong was always seen as the gateway to china, it is where most Chinese Companies go to raise funds, on the hong kong stock exchange, but increasingly, that relationship has turned the other way around. Hong kong now depends on the mainland for much of its business. Cathay pacific isa much of its business. Cathay pacific is a great example of that. About a fifth of its seats are filled up by mainland chinese tourists. There was a backlash from china against the airline on chinese social media because of what many in the mainland saw as a betrayal by Staff Members at Cathay Pacific, who participated in these protests. I think itjust underlines how delicate the position for Many Companies based in hong kong is as they try and navigate this sensitive time. Thank you very much. As an island nation, britain has had a rich maritime history but now its hoping to be at the forefront of maritime future, developing self driving ships. Adrian bradley has been to the south west of england to find out more. Plymouth is a city with hundreds of yea rs of plymouth is a city with hundreds of years of maritime history. From the mayflower to this autonomous minesweeper, it is one of five parts of the uk aiming to unlock up to £100 million a year of investment. We are creating clusters of businesses, academia and local, to run the country in places like the southwest. We want to do that across the whole country, we need Government Support to help do that quicker and faster. This defence contractor is turning plymouth into a world centre for marine autonomy. Here, they are testing autonomous minesweepers and submersibles so that they can keep naval personnel away from dangerous environments. What they are hoping is to see more projects like this were big Defence Contractors can work with British Companies and the royal navy to take crude submersibles like this and make them or thomas, taking people out of harms with stop maritime uk hope that by creating regional hubs they can get the skills and the expertise and bring industry together to make this happen. What we have given the plymouth region is a place we can explore and test Unmanned Systems at sea and it has allowed us to bring in local enterprises, clusters, academia or look at together to make sure the best capability is delivered for our forces. The uk government recently announced a £75 Million Investment in autonomous mine hunting technology. Like the vessels being tested in plymouth. The industry wa nts tested in plymouth. The industry wants this to be just the start. It is this plant to coordinate efforts that can help the country with its rich maritime history build a blue economy for the future. Lets take a look at the markets before we go. We have had a bit of an interesting day for the london market. Trading in the biggest shares listed on the London Stock Exchange was delayed for more than an hour, in the longest outage in more than eight years. Shares in the ftse100 and ftse 250 indexes were affected, although smaller stocks traded as normal at 08 00. The lse said trading was delayed while it investigated a potential Trading Services issue. The ftse100 is still upjust the ftse100 is still up just 0. 5 . So, there is something technical that went wrong when with the system. More from my colleaguejamie throughout the afternoon. North korea has fired two missiles into the sea, according to the south korean notary. Pyongyang has released a statement saying it has no intention of sitting down for talks with south korea again. Lets talks with south korea again. Lets talk to a senior lecturer in north korean studies. Thanks so much for being with us. Why this ramping up of tension is now . So, todays missile test was something north korea really wanted to make sure it had a direct dialogue between north korea and the United States. Time to time, it showed its unhappiness with the fact that south korea tried to become the mediator in between. Especially when the south korean president announced a statement on National Liberation day yesterday by saying he plans to have unification by 2045. Saying he plans to have unification by 20a5. 0bviously, saying he plans to have unification by 20a5. Obviously, it was nothing discussed between north korea and south korea. Kim jong un fear to lose his power over the north korean regime and because of that, it is a critical time for north korea to make sure that it is its sovereignty is not depending on other countries power. So the north korean government is sending out a strong message. That was todays test, missile test. So the message is that they want to deal with the United States and not with south korea, but acts which may be construed as acts of aggression like this might also alienate the United States. Yes, but what we need to think about is that the range of the missile test, those missiles which we re missile test, those missiles which were tested during the last month we re were tested during the last month were all short range missiles, not long range, which is less intimidating. Because of that, it looks like north korea has been very careful about the missile tests. Thinking about the kind of message it can provide towards south korea and also the United States. What do you make of the current relationship between President Trump and kim jong un . Because trump has spoken of these beautiful letters hes been receiving. Yes, but we all know that north korea and the United States, it is good diplomacy, they have shown the world they are good friends. But now it is time to have something tangible. For example, the United States government, it is customary to send out a special representative to north korea from the us. The same as the Us Ambassador to russia. That cant go both ways. It can have better communication between the us and north korea. At the moment, we dont have a us embassy in north korea. It can boost the conversation between north korea and the us. But at the same time, it can work as a pressure with career from the us that there is someone who is specialised in north korea, issues around north korea. Because of that, really it is about what tangible thing they can negotiate, rather than exchanging letters or shaking hands. Thank you very much. Just to return to that breaking news of the last hour or so that a Police Officer has been killed in berkshire. It happened last night as pc Andrew Harper was attending reports of a burglary near to the aa teen reading and newbury.

Now, lets get a look at the weather prospects. Weve got some rain affecting many parts of the uk at the moment. It is all linked into an area of low pressure which has been moving in from the atlantic. Look at this swirl of cloud, that has been pushing in, not particularly nice for august. With that, some rain moving from west to east across many parts. Just moving into the london area, it will push on to east anglia and the south east over the next hour or two. The rain is particularly heavy across south west eglin, wales, the midlands, northern parts of england. For scotland and Northern Ireland, improving, some sunny spells in the afternoon, but quite windy wherever you are. These are the gusts, potentially up to 50 mph around the irish sea coast. Temperatures 17 to 19, quite disappointing for england and wales. The highest temperature in Northern Ireland. Through the ceiling, continuing with the rain, again heavy at times as it moves out of england by the early hours of saturday morning. Further showers pushing into scotland and the four far north west of england. Quite a warm night, temperatures not going below about 11 to 15. Saturday, some showers across scotland and Northern Ireland. Actually, for many, saturday should be a much drier day, lots of sunshine expected throughout saturday. Quite breezy conditions, the wind coming from the west or south west. Showers merging with longer spells of rain. Temperatures 18 to 22 foot of the area of low pressure is still with us into sunday. A bit of rain in the south east of england early on sunday, that will clear away, then we have this occluded front, which means quite a lot of showers or longer spells of rain in scotland and Northern Ireland during sunday. 0ne or two showers in north west england and wales. At least it is dry and bright, some sunshine, but quite breezy. These are the gusts, 35 to a0 or a5 breezy. These are the gusts, 35 to a0 ora5 mph breezy. These are the gusts, 35 to a0 or a5 mph during sunday. Maximum temperatures about 17 to 21. Into next week, it will remain a little bit unsettled to start off. Then progressively, it should turn a bit drier. Temperatures are still not fantastic, the high teens to low 20s. Some uncertainty as we going to the end of the week. We could keep a bit more unsettled weather towards northern parts of the uk. Thats all from me. Youre watching bbc newsroom live. Its midday and these are the main stories.

The incident happened near sulhamstead, in west berkshire, as pc harper was attending reports of a burglary. Thames Valley Police say 10 people have been arrested on suspicion of murder and are currently in Police Custody at various police stations across the Thames Valley. The Prime Minister borisjohnson says hes shocked and appalled. That tweet from the Prime Minister borisjohnsonjust that tweet from the Prime Minister borisjohnson just coming in that tweet from the Prime Minister borisjohnsonjust coming in in that tweet from the Prime Minister borisjohnson just coming in in the last few moments. Bbcjournalist Charlotte Winfield has been giving us the latest from berkshire. So far we know thames Valley Police have launched a Murder Investigation after a Thames Valley Police Officer died following an incident where i am now, last night at around 11 30pm. It is at a crossroads along a really busy road, ufton lane and lambsden hill, near the aa that joins reading and newbury. There are constantly cars and lorries going up and down here at all hours of the day. We know pc Andrew Harper was sadly killed when he was attending a reported burglary. He was based at the Abingdon Police station. He was here attending a reported burglary. There is a scene watch still in place and both of the roads off the aa have been closed but the aa itself has reopened. In the last few moments Additional Police vehicles have turned up, a police van and i have seen forensics coming and going from the site as well. There are police at both ends of the roads stopping anyone coming and going from the area. People are stopping and looking and are concerned about what happened here. Thames Valley Police we know have made some arrests. They have. Ten people have been arrested after this happened, arrested on suspicion of murder and they are currently in custody at various police stations across the Thames Valley. A statement from the police, their deepest thoughts at this time are with andrews friends and family, who are being supported by specially trained family liaison officers. And this is their colleague as well, so all of those colleagues will be supporting each other at a difficult time. The police are now stopping cars, pulling them up onto the lay by. Iam not i am not sure if they are to do with the police. People are stopping to ask questions as well. 0fficers officers are going over to answer those questions. People are clearly concerned and there are more officers going down to the cordoned off area at the moment. I notice from the statement from thames Valley Police that they are appealing for witnesses. It is a busy area. 11 30pm at night. There is not likely to be as many people around us there are at the moment. But its quite possible there would have been people driving past at around this time because it is a busy area. They are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident to get in touch and if anyone has any information at all, no matter how insignificant it might seem, to get in touch and help with the investigation. The latest from our reporter at the scene. A little bit of news developing on this. Danny shaw, our home affairs correspondent, putting through a bit more information, this time from the independent 0ffice through a bit more information, this time from the independent office for Police Conduct, thats the independent body that investigates after Police Incidents where there has been perhaps a death or issues around Police Contact with members of the public. This says they were made aware of the incident involving the death of pc Andrew Harper because of possible issues around a police pursuit. But at this stage the independent 0ffice police pursuit. But at this stage the independent office for Police Conduct says it is not getting involved in the case. An interesting line, the mention of police pursuit. We do not know exactly what happened but danny shaw, our home affairs correspondent, earlier saying he had unconfirmed suggestions, which he stressed they were unconfirmed, that there were cars involved and pc harper may have been knocked down by a car which was in motion. Still rather sketchy at this time. As we mentioned in our introduction, one other thing coming on in the last few moments was the tweet from the Prime Minister boris johnson, few moments was the tweet from the Prime Minister borisjohnson, who said he was deeply shocked and appalled by the death of Police Officer Andrew Harper. We expect to hear from we expect to hearfrom home secretary priti patel in the next few moments with a response to that. Clearly, the loss of a Police Officer is always extremely shocking for the Police Family and naturally for the Police Family and naturally for pc harpers family as well, a very difficult time. Deputy police chief constable jason hogg issuing a statement saying their deepest thoughts at this time are of course with pc harpers friends and family who are being supported by specially trained family liaison officers. Ten male suspects have been arrested in connection with the incident, aged between 13 and 30. As we have more on this, we will bring it to you. Turkeys military pension fund has reached a tentative deal to buy British Steel. 0yak said it plans to take over the firm, which was put into compulsory liquidation in may, and is now run by the official receiver, by the end of the year. British steel, which owns the scunthorpe steel works where 3,000 people work, was in rescue talks with the government, but they broke down. Our Business Editor simonjack brought us up to speed with the latest. In total there are a500 workers there whose future has been in doubt. During that period, the official receiver has been sifting through a number of bids for all or part of the company. We have learned today that they have decided that the best bid in their view is one from the Turkish Military pension fund. Government sources working on this deal up until recently said it has been for some time considered head and shoulders the best deal. This will mean there will now be exclusive talks, they will have exclusive access to the company, its books, and they will do their process of due diligence. At the end of which we hope, but it is not guaranteed, that they will buy the company out of liquidation. A package of Government Support is being made available, several hundred million in loan guarantees. This is being tentatively welcomed by unions and British Steel themselves, saying it looks like they have now got a future. It is quite interesting, a Turkish Military pension fund, you might think that seems odd and yes it is, but they also have things likejoint ventures with renault, they own car production plants. Its a big Investment Fund so they have plenty of money. They also own 50 of turkeys biggest steel producer and its thought the two plants could be quite complementary so people are relatively positive about it today. As part of the bid, how much information does a firm have to give about their plans, investment and jobs and so on . They have to give a fair amount and its on that basis that this bid was considered superior, not only because they have the most financial muscle of the bidders looking at this, but its thought the turkish plan involved the fewest redundancies and the most production ramp up. On that basis, they will get more investment in the company from this turkish bid, fewer redundancies. They have plenty of financial firepower. It is quite odd that its a military pension fund, which supplements pensions and makes loans available for veterans of the Turkish Armed forces, but they said to think of us like the ontario teachers fund, which owns big things like hs1. Its a big financial fund, invests for the long term, and it has the nod to go ahead. Not guaranteed, but i think it is being welcomed this morning. As a final thought, how much of a challenge will it be because it has been a rocky road for British Steel, so are they taking on something that is quite tough . You are right to say it is a tough time for the Steel Industry. We have seen steel prices collapse in 2016 but they have come back a little bit since then. There are issues about the economics of making steel. Cheap steel coming in from china. You have very high energy costs and Business Rates here make it challenging. I would expect the government to look at a package of support that is not just labour guarantees but to see if they can do anything on energy costs and put it on a firm footing. But certainly a500 workers in and around scunthorpe will be breathing a sigh of relief. Its not guaranteed, but its looking positive. That was our Business Editor simon jack. Harish patel is the National Officer for steel at the trade union unite. He said this is welcome news for the workers and their families. Its a relief for all of our members in the workforce who are employed with British Steel, but this is the beginning of the process in terms of we still havent reached the end mark, and obviously discussions will continue to secure a Sustainable Future for the Steel Industry. We wa nt we want to look at in terms of the Business Plan, and the long term Business Plan, and the long term Business Plan, and the long term Business Plan of the company and how they intend to put investment into scunthorpe they intend to put investment into scu nthorpe and other sites they intend to put investment into scunthorpe and other sites and thats key in terms of our involvement and also looking at the government to ensure that they look ata government to ensure that they look at a level Playing Field in terms of the energy costs, which need to be looked at, the Business Rates, and indeed a an industrial strategy and with brexit coming up, we dont want to end up in a situation where steel will be dumped into the uk and make it uncompetitive for our workers in the uk. We look forward with confidence to make sure we have a sustainable Steel Industry. Thats the view of the union. Staying with business news. The Scottish Government is to nationalise Ferguson Marine engineering, the last civilian shipyard on the clyde. The port glasgow shipyard, with almost 300 workers, had been at the centre of a dispute over the spiralling cost of two ferries. The gmb union has welcomed the nationalisation, but said there would be challenges, as it will limit the amount of private sector work for which the yard can now compete. A man from surrey has admitted trying to murder a bulgarian teenager in what prosecutors are calling a far right terrorist incident. Vincent fuller pleaded guilty to two offences at Kingston Crown Court after he attacked 19 year old Dimitar Mihaylov in march. Mr fuller told his victim you are going to die before stabbing him in the hand and neck. He denied it was a terrorist act but accepted it was racially motivated. Our correspondent Richard Galpin has been following the trial at Kingston Crown Court. A short while ago he sent us this update. Obviously a very important hearing. The prosecution are saying this was a far right terrorist incident and they want him to be prosecuted for terrorism, which would entail a very severe prison sentence if he were to be found guilty of that. Fuller denies it was an act of terrorism but admits racially aggravated harassment, alarm or distress. This attack took place literally the day after the horrific attacks in new zealand by a far right extremist man in which 51 muslims were killed in new zealand in several mosques in the area. We heard that vincent fuller, in a facebook posting, had said, i agree with what the gunman did in new zealand. During this attack in stanwell in march, fuller also is said to have been heard shouting, White Supremacy rules, and i am going to kill muslims. This is why the prosecution are trying to bring a terrorist charge against him, because it seems that there is an alleged political motivation. He also, before stabbing mr mihaylov, went out with a baseball bat and threatened a neighbour of south asian descent. He then went down smashing cars and we understand he broke the baseball bat, went back to his home, got a knife and then came back out, which is when the stabbing of a bulgarian teenager, who had been sitting in his car in a tesco car park, thats when the stabbing took place. He was stabbed in the hand and mr mihaylov also had a cut to his neck. The next hearing will be sentencing, and that will be on 5th september. To return to the Murder Investigation being launched after a Thames Valley Police Officer died on duty near reading. The Prime Minister says hes shocked and appalled by the killing. A few moments ago the labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, gave this reaction. My my condolences to Andrew Harpers family and his colleagues, who must be absolutely devastated. He was doing his duty, examining apparently what had happened at a burglary, and was killed in the line of duty. I am pleased that ten arrests have a p pa re ntly pleased that ten arrests have apparently already been made, but we have to remember, there is a human being here, there is a family involved, colleagues involved, and this is the danger Police Officers face. And its also about the growth of violence in our society. The use of violence in our society. The use of knives, machetes, guns in crime, it has got to end and it means there has to be more Police Officers available to support people going through these sorts of dangers. That response from Jeremy Corbyn. The liberal democrat leader, jo swinson, says the conservatives ken clarke or labours Harriet Harman are both prepared to lead an emergency government to avoid a no deal brexit. Ms swinson says she thinks the labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn would be too divisive to lead a caretaker government. Lets get more on this with our political correspondent, helena wilkinson. The war of words continuing and what might happen next continues. What we are seeing at moment is opposition. People from the opposition. People from the opposition trying to work out exactly how they can stop a no deal brexit on the 31st october. But in particular, you mentioned there, who would lead an emergency government if there was a vote of no confidence against the government and if that is successful. We knowJeremy Corbyns plans. He says if that vote of no confidence is won then he would be the man to be the caretaker Prime Minister, to stand in as Prime Minister until a general election is held. But the leader of the liberal democrat party, jo swinson, has described that plan is nonsense. She thinks it should be up to two senior people in the house of commons to step up and take on that role. Those two people, ken clarke and Harriet Harman. Ken clarke, the conservative mp, Harriet Harman, a labour mp, and they are the longest continuously serving mps. Jo swinson thinks they would have the confidence of the house and the support of the house to stand in and lead an emergency government if that vote of no confidence is won. Earlier on she spoke to the today programme on radio four. The new bit of news todayis radio four. The new bit of news today is she says she has spoken to both of them and they would be prepared to step up to that role. You suggested someone else ought to take leadership of this government. Somebody you have suggested, like ken clarke or Harriet Harman. Have you actually asked either of them if they would be prepared to do it . Yeah, i have been in touch with them, because obviously you dontjust mention peoples names without checking that they are ok with that. I mean, both of those are long serving members of parliament, the most experienced mps in the house, the father and mother of the house, as they are called in the house of commons. And did they actually say to you that they were prepared to lead a government of National Unity . Yeah. They. They put public duty first. They dont want to see a no deal brexit and if the house of commons asks them to lead an emergency government to get our country out of this brexit mess and to stop us driving off that cliff to a no deal, then, yes, they are prepared to do that, and i think thats to their credit. We have also heard in the last ten minutes from Jeremy Corbyn in response to whatjo swinson said. He is in wales today and he has said that hes disappointed atjo swinsons response to his plan to prevent no deal. Jeremy corbyn goes on to say, i hope she will come round to it. Youve got to really ask how effective all of this is. You have opposition parties arguing at the moment on how they will stop at the moment on how they will stop a no deal brexit. That deadline of the 31st october is looming ever closer. We are in the middle of august already. They may be in a position where they continue to argue, unable to compromise, and no deal brexit ends up happening. Helena wilkinson at westminster. The headlines on bbc news.

Its expected to give more information about exactly what happened but is unlikely to offer much insight into why Certain Services like trains were so badly affected. Theo leggett reports. Trains stopped, passengers were left stranded, and railway stations were in chaos. Nearly a million homes were plunged into darkness across the country, and Traffic Control systems stopped working as well. National grid says last weeks power system failure was exceptional. Todays initial report is expected to provide more detail about exactly what happened, and when. We already know what triggered the blackouts. First, this power station in bedfordshire developed a problem and disconnected itself from the grid. At almost the same time, a wind farm in the north sea also went offline. That created instability in the grid, and triggered an automatic 5 cut in supplies. Within seven minutes, new sources of power had been brought in, and the system was running normally again. But, across the country, disruption lasted for hours. 0fgem will want to know why the knock on effects were so severe, and why Critical Infrastructure such as railways and hospitals, like this one in ipswich, lost power. Normally, their supplieswould be protected. Some experts believe the growth of Renewable Energy sources has made the electricity grid more difficult to manage, while critics say a lack of investment has left it more vulnerable to serious failures. Todays report is unlikely to provide comprehensive answers. Investigations including a separate government inquiry will take weeks. But answers will eventually be needed, because its clear that something, somewhere, went very badly wrong. Theo leggett, bbc news. North korea has fired two missiles into the sea, according to the south korean military. Its the sixth weapons test in less than a month by pyongyang, which has released a statement saying it has no intention of sitting down for talks with south korea again.

Chi chi izundu there, thank you. Bbc news has learned that a cyber attack on the uks biggest provider of Forensic Services has led to a backlog of 20,000 samples. The Company Eurofins Scientific was affected by a ransomware virus, which prevented staff accessing its computer system. Police say the problem has now been resolved and emergency measures are being gradually lifted. Heres our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw. Its painstaking work, but vital for solving crimes. Scientists at eurofins analyse evidence from 70,000 criminal cases every year. The Company Accounts for more than half of Forensic Science provision in the uk, but injune, police suspended all work with eurofins after its Computer Systems were frozen by cyber criminals. Police have now revealed the impact of the cyber attack. It led to a backlog of 20,000 samples, including blood and dna from suspects and crime scenes. It will take two months to clear most of the cases, and police warn there will be delays to investigations, with criminal trials also affected. What has had more of an impact is the delays to forensic testing, so that has led to some adjournments at court. But again, what weve tried to do around our Contingency Planning working with the forces around the country to make sure were prioritising cases. The cyber attack that struck eurofins probably looked like this a computer virus that blocks access to files unless a ransom is paid. Last month, bbc news was told that eurofins had paid the perpetrators to restore its services, though the Company Refused to comment. The National Crime agency is still investigating what is said to be a complex case. Danny shaw, bbc news. We will have the headlines in a moment, but first a look at the weather. We are back to wet and windy conditions after a brief lull in proceedings. This not of wet and windy weather and low pressure will be heading east over the uk over the weekend. Its bringing heavy and persistent rain as it works eastwards this afternoon, particularly over england and wales. It has cleared Northern Ireland and scotla nd it has cleared Northern Ireland and scotland where it is brightening up. But we have gusty winds, 30 a0 mph. Western facing coast could see a5 50 mph and it will feel disappointingly cool underneath the cloud with the rain. That will clear east as we head through the evening and overnight. Clear spells following on behind but also showers for scotland which could be heavy and sundry and they will continue through saturday, at times merging together to form longer spells of rain. Gusts around north west scotland, widely 50, 55 mph. It will be gusty elsewhere but as far as the rain is concerned, thats the main story with dry weather around wales and england. Hello, this is bbc newsroom live. The headlines a Murder Investigation is launched after a Thames Valley Police Officer dies on duty following an incident near reading. The Prime Minister says hes shocked and appalled by the killing. A provisional deal for the take over of British Steel has been reached with turkeys military pension fund. A man from surrey admits trying to murder a bulgarian teenager in whats being described as a far right terrorist incident. The lib dem leader says shes got the support of senior mps whod be prepared to lead an emergency government aimed at stopping a no deal brexit. The power cut that brought large parts of the uk to a standstill the National Grid has until the end of the day to submit a formal report into what went wrong. A Civil Rights Group has warned the use of facial Recognition Systems in Public Places across the uk has reached epidemic levels. Big brother watch says the technology, which can scan peoples faces in crowds, comparing them with databases of criminals, is a threat to privacy. Heres our Technology Correspondent rory cellan jones. 0ne one of the big issues behind facial recognition is about a private company in kings cross, the extent of regulation is very limited. So Data Protection law applies, that is what you have the information commissioner conducting an investigation, but there is no real regulation around the circumstances of use, whether it is appropriate to use the technology, what the restrictions are and thats a big issue. So you feel there is a much wider discussion to have in society in general . Yes, absolutely. I think there are two key issues for some one is the lack of transparency around issue, and a component of thatis around issue, and a component of that is that it took an investigative journalist to uncover the fact that facial recognition was being used across a huge area of london. The other element is that we dont know how it is being used. When people think of facial Recognition Technology, they often think of it as just about identification of individuals faces, but that is just the first step. The second element, which has the potential to be much more invasive in terms of human rights, is that it can conduct analysis on you, it can do a profile. If you work or live in kings cross, the fa ct work or live in kings cross, the fact that technology can monitor you effectively 2a 7 allows it to build a very detailed profile of your life. What is done with that information, that is something we should have access to. How much do you feel that debate is already going on . Or you feel that debate is already going on . 0rdo you feel that debate is already going on . Or do you think this has come so going on . Or do you think this has come so speedily that it has caught us come so speedily that it has caught us unawa res . Come so speedily that it has caught us unawares . To a large degree it has caught us unawares, definitely ata has caught us unawares, definitely at a mainstream level there has been elements of debate, for example with respect to police using facial Recognition Technology in trials, but i think really the extent of the facial recognition deployment in kings cross, the number of people affected and the fact its a private company doing this, has really caught us unawares. I think what it indicates is that we need a public discussion and regulation. It shouldnt be the case that Tech Companies or private companies are determining what is appropriate to use in society or not. Thats a decision for the government and the public. Im interested in the way this can be used by private companies. We talked about the fact that it takes peoples faces and cross rent presents max cross refe re nces cross rent presents max cross references them with databases of known criminals but that would presumably require access to police files. If a private company is using it, how can it help them . It doesnt have to be a database of criminals, for example if it is a private company, they would have access to employee photographs for your id cards, they may access facebook, they might get pictures from social media. Wejust dont they might get pictures from social media. We just dont know. The availability of information is very significant. Even Companies Give their own employees information is one potential source. It is absolutely not restricted to criminals bust up at the other thing is that we dont know how its being used or what it is being used for. And i think thats where the ability to analyse peoples patterns of life and potentially to monetise it is something that has to be of concern. For example, if you are in kings cross and you go for a run at lunch ora cross and you go for a run at lunch or a smoke at lunch and that is picked up and analysed on facial Recognition Technology, it could be sold to something that could affect yourjob prospects. We need to have a discussion about these things. You raise some interesting concerns will stop do you feel there is a positive, useful site to this technology or do you see it mainly as threatening . No, iwouldnt technology or do you see it mainly as threatening . No, i wouldnt say it was predominantly threatening but it was predominantly threatening but it does have the potential to have significant human rights harm. So we need to have a discussion to identify those circumstances where i can be used appropriately, and how it can be beneficial to police or to intelligence activity, and a discussion about when we dont think it is acceptable. Doctor Darren Murray speaking to me from galway. Lets return to that news about the Murder Investigation. Ten people have been arrested. 0ur correspondent Chi Chi Izundu is at the scene and we join her live. So, as we know, ten people have been arrested over the murder of pc Andrew Harper. We know those ten people range from ages between 13 and 30. Behind us, just over in the houses behind us, we can see police doing door to door knocks, asking people for any information they may have had about last nights incident. So far all we know is that pc andrew was harper was here on often lie attending what was a burglary for thames Valley Police, he was killed while performing his duties. Jeremy corbyn has sent a tweet, sending his condolences to pc Andrew Harper and his family and colleagues. For a Police Officer to be killed during his duty is appalling. Whoever is responsible must be brought to justice. Appalling. Whoever is responsible must be brought tojustice. So i am at my condolences to Andrew Harper was my family and his colleagues, who must be absolutely devastated. He was doing his duty, examining apparently what had happened at a burglary and was killed in the line of duty. Im pleased that ten arrests have apparently already been made but we have to remember this is a human being, there is a family involved, colleagues and this is the danger that Police Officers face, but also it is about the growth of violence in our society, the use of knives, machetes, guns and crime. It has to end. There has to be more Police Officers available to support people going through these sort of dangers. The Prime Minister, boris johnson, has also sent out his condolences, saying he is deeply shocked and appalled at the death of an officer on duty in Thames Valley last night. He says his thoughts are with eze harpers friends, family and colleagues and he said it is a powerful reminder that Police Officers up and down the country put themselves at risk every single day to keep us safe. Behind me, you can see just a to keep us safe. Behind me, you can seejust a hint to keep us safe. Behind me, you can see just a hint of one of the two forensic tents being erected. There isa forensic tents being erected. There is a pile of something in the middle of the road that forensic officers have been photographing, taking measurements and doing a detailed investigation to try and find out exactly what happened here last night at around 11 30 over the death of pc Andrew Harper. Thank you very much indeed, Chi Chi Izundu there. And we havejust very much indeed, Chi Chi Izundu there. And we have just recently had a response coming in from the home secretary, priti patel. Lets listen to what she has had to say. |j secretary, priti patel. Lets listen to what she has had to say. I am devastated by the tragic death of pc Andrew Harper stopped all my thoughts are with his loved ones, people that he served with, his colleagues, also the local community he served. Today we remember that Police Officers serve their communities day in, day out. They are professional individuals who work very hard to keep our public safe. The service that pc harper has given will not be forgotten, or his sacrifice. I will do everything in my power as home secretary to ensure that i support the police, also that our police force are protected to carry on serving the community. The home secretary, priti patel, giving her response to the death of pc Andrew Harper. This is bbc news. A group of women whove been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer linked to Breast Implants are taking legal action against pharmaceutical companies and surgeons for compensation. There have been more than 500 confirmed cases of Breast Implant associated anaplastic lymphoma, including 57 in the uk. 33 women around the world have died. 0ne leading Plastic Surgeon says that women are almost being used as human guinea pigs. Lauren moss reports. I just wanted to feel a little more womanly. When mum of two Linzy Bromfield paid thousands of pounds for a breast enlargement, she hoped to feel more confident about her body image. But the boost it gave her later turned into a nightmare. I took my bra off and it was massive, i mean, i couldnt get it into the bra. Fluid had built up inside one of linzys breasts. She had it drained twice and tests then discovered she had a new and rare type of lymphoma. I cried. Really cried. I was angry, i was hurt, i was worried i was going to die. I said to my mum, im going to die. Linzys surgeon said her case is the first hes come across, but it is not known how common the cancer is or exactly how it is caused. In 2012, the americans were coming out and saying it was one in a million. The australians are now coming and saying it is one in 3000. Somewhere between the two, obviously, is the truth. And i think if you look through the literature, there is a huge amount of underreporting or misdiagnosis. Tens of thousands of successful breast augmentations and reconstructions are performed every year, using silicone or saline inside smooth or textured outer shells. There are some theories that the cancer could be caused by a reaction to a textured surface, or a bacteria. She was diagnosed with lymphoma. Charlies mother, kim phillips, was a8 when she died just months after one of her breasts became swollen. She was devastated, i mean, we all were. And i guess to a point, you dont want to believe it, and you just keep hoping that theyre wrong. The pathologist raised a potential link between the cancer and kims textured implants. But this was never proven and it wasnt until the following year that uk surgeons were first warned of the risk. In december, one company, allergan, lost its european licence for certain textured implants, and last month issued a worldwide recall of some products. An independent panel is now monitoring cases in the uk, but those overseeing it are concerned women still arent being made aware of possible dangers. Women are not being appropriately warned that these are not for life, necessarily, they have significant risks associated with them. It does mean that we are using our entire female population as guinea pigs, almost. The uk regulator says at the minute, any women with these types of textured implants dont need to have them removed if they have not developed any symptoms. But surgeons are meant to advise anyone considering breast enhancement surgery that there is a risk. Linzy has been free of cancer since her implants were removed, but she needs regular checkups. Other women and their families are left with many questions unanswered by a cosmetic Industry Worth millions of pounds. Events are taking place this afternoon to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the deaths of 18 people in the peterloo massacre. Hundreds more were injured when the authorities in manchester tried to shut down a peaceful demonstration calling for political reform. To mark the anniversary, descendants of those involved have been learning about what happened to their relatives. Nina warhurst reports. On these busy streets, youd never know that this is where they died fighting for nothing more than the rights of men to vote. It was a baking hot day by the time they arrived here at what was st peters fields. Some people had walked for more than 20 miles all through the night, and they couldnt have known about the violence, the panic and the bloodshed they were about to witness. One of them is david hilton, standing at the back of this photograph. A weaver from east manchester, he met up with peterloo victims every year to remember and to fight on. Peterloo veterans. And this year, Manchester Metropolitan University is uniting as many descendants as possible. So, this gentleman here, he is your great, great, great, great grandfather. Thats amazing. Its like goosebumps, isnt it . Even in his 805, hes still campaigning for people to get the vote. For equal and fair representation. He looks proud, he looks like the boss, and i think its amazing how 60 years later hes still actually trying to get the vote for the poor people. Fighting for the working man all those years later. Still. Its pretty damn amazing. It is, im well chuffed. David did not live to see all working men granted the vote, that didnt happen for 100 years. Weve also got here a newspaper article from washington, the national. But these newspaper articles in the Peoples History Museum showed the global impacts peterloo had and its ripple effects through history. Peterloo was hugely significant for campaigners calling for the right to vote. So after the massacre, theres a real crackdown on movement, but when the chartists come about in the 1830s, the peterloo massacre is hugely significant. Its a huge inspiration. But also for the suffragettes, it was a kind of key moment in that campaign for democratic rights. So they didnt die in vain . They definitely didnt die in vain, and many protesters who were there continued the memory, continued the organisation to make sure wed never forget the peterloo massacre. Today thousands will gather at the site of st peters field to remember the protesters and how things have changed but somehow stayed the same. Nina warhurst, bbc news.

Medical cannabis was legalised by the government last year, but getting a prescription on the nhs is still proving very difficult. Patients have been angered by nice the body responsible for drawing up guidelines on the use of medicines in the nhs who say there isnt enough evidence to allow cannabis to be prescribed. In the meantime, cannabis clinics are opening across the uk and the private sector is offering patients what they cant get on the nhs. But the costs are very high. Sofia bettiza has been to a private clinic to find out more. When medical cannabis was legalised last year, there was great hope that the lives of many patients would improve. But for charlotte, who has brain damage and epilepsy, nothing has changed. Her mother has been repeatedly turned down for cannabis on the nhs, told it was too expensive. I think its absolutely disgusting that anyone is having to pay to go private and get a private prescription. The thought of having to pay that on a regular basis, on a monthly basis to fulfil it. Would you be able to afford it . |j monthly basis to fulfil it. Would you be able to afford it . I wouldnt be able to afford to sustain a private prescription on a long term basis. I am a single mother looking after my daughter, i do work, i dont receive any benefits myself. Im on my way to a private cannabis clinic about to open in london. It looks like patients who have chronic conditions are resorting to places like this because they say its impossible to get a prescription on the nhs. The medical cannabis prescribed here is specially imported into the uk. You have to pay £250 for a consultation, and then up to £800 for a prescription. That lasts for around a month. Most people never afford this. Do you think you are exploiting patients . Will absolutely not. This is the only way patients who are insignificant need can get access to this medicine. Thats very sad. Its the only way they can get the medicine they deserve. So, why did the government decide to make medical cannabis legal if the nhs isnt prescribing its . Medical cannabis legal if the nhs isnt prescribing its . |j medical cannabis legal if the nhs isnt prescribing its . I dont think the government had done its homework, if im honest. The government raised peoples expectations that following legalisation, Medicinal Cannabis would become readily available. It hasnt, if anything it has become more difficult for people to obtain it. Is the uk government failing patients . I think it is. The government was wrong to raise expectations stop it now has to put that right by delivering on the promises it has made to the patients. The department of health told us this pattern of prescribing medical cannabis is quite normal and that in most countries that have legalised the drug, most prescriptions are given through the private sector. They also said they needed more evidence to prove that it works. Campaigners were recently dealt a further blow. After health ca re dealt a further blow. After health care what sherrock said that a lot of medical cannabis products shouldnt be available on then it on the nhs because they are not cost effective. More Clinical Trials are needed. For now, people say they will be left suffering. In need of medicine that they cant afford. Brad pitt, Leonardo Dicaprio and Quentin Tarantino three of the biggest names in the Film Industry have come together to make 0nce upon a time in hollywood film critics are describing it as a tribute to the final moments of hollywoods golden age. In their only interview for tv in the uk, Charlie Stayt has been speaking to brad and leo about what attracted them to the film. Im rick dalton. Its my pleasure. Mr schwartz. Call me marvin. Put it there. That your son . No, thats my stunt double, cliff booth. This is Serious Hollywood i have in front of me right now. You clearly have a love for hollywood thats embraced in the film, right . Absolutely. Absolutely, yeah. And we wrestle with it, but ultimately a complete love for the industry, the town, the city, and this film reflects that. Yeah, and i think we both mutually look at this as a gift, you know . You can do anything you want to me. I hired you to be an actor, rick. Not a tv cowboy, youre better than that. I love the way quentin approached these two characters, a stunt double and an actor in an era thats passing them by, theyre remnants of the past, and theyre trying to adjust to the new era of cinema. And theyre slowly realising that theyve become irrelevant, and its sort of their. Well, at at least in ricks terms, its his fight for his own mortality. Cliff, the stu ntman, theyre linked careerwise, and theyre friends. The relationship between them is kind of lovely to watch as they bumble their way round hollywood. Bumble. Thats a great term. Bumble theres a lot of the two of you driving around, looking at the scenes and getting a realfeel for that time. Yeah. I loved quentins approach to this. It was less about some trajectory of a dramatic story, and more about a day in the life. And i find it really compelling. But, yes, you know, we have those friends, we understood that, you know, the people you have over decades through. You know, as you negotiate your way through this industry, you sit with the quiet times, the laughs and really thats what makes it all worthwhile. So youre still with rick . Still here. Your stories as actors are very different, arent they . Leo, you were on screen, one way or another, from the age of about five, right . Commercials or. . More 12, 13, but yeah. 12, 13 on tv. I did something on a kids show when i was five and got kicked off. What for . Why . It was romper room, and i ran up to the camera. Erroneous behaviour. Yeah. You misbehaved . Misbehaved. He was lascivious even then. But your story, brad, is more. You did the whole thing where you came in and you were a bartender. A very different route. And i was an extra for a good almost two years. Really . Wow. Yeah. I was in less than zero, that was my. I was an extra in less than zero. Thats the one i was proud of. Is it still. Can you get the still from it . Its in the movie, im standing in the doorway with an outstanding mullet. Outstanding listen, i had a mullet in those days, so i miss. I mean, bono would genuflect when he saw my mullet. I dont know how you were mine was magnificent. It was right down. Sort of four inches down the back. Serious mullet. Tell me, in those days, were you trying to scene steal . Traditionally extras are trying to, sort of, get themselves seen. No, wed try to get lines so we can get our sag card, and then we can be working. Its a catch 22. You cant be an actor without your sag card, at least at that time, but you cant have your sag card unless you have a line. I was an extra in a Charlie Sheen movie, and i was a waiter, and they were all. It was no mans land, db sweeney, and they were all sitting round, big table scene. And i come up with the bottle and im supposed to pour champagne. And i come around and i think, man, im gonna try, im gonna try to get a line in, im gonna try, im gonna try, because theyre all having a conversation i figure maybe i can slip this in. And i pour this young actress a glass of champagne, and i go, would you like anything else . And she looked at me and goes. And the director goes, cut, cut and the first ad goes, you do that again, youre off the set. Oh, no and i go, alright. A bandstand where david bowie played in south london 50 years ago has been given grade two listed status. The singer performed to a few thousand people in croydon Recreation Ground in the summer of 1969, soon after the release of space 0ddity, which was bowies first hit single. Some of us can be a little camera shy and apparently the same goes for animals too. These two burrowing 0wls became suspicious of a not so secret hidden camera set up by the Hawk Conservancy trust. The plan was to learn more about their behaviour, and as you can see, they have strong protective instincts. 0ne owl decides its had enough and charges at the camera. The video has been watched more than a million times on twitter. Ina in a moment we will say goodbye to viewers on bbc two but first a look at the weather. Good afternoon. After a brief lull in proceedings, return to wet and windy conditions. That rain is already making its presence known. Some tricky driving conditions. It is worth keeping an eye on the forecast through the rest of the day. The culprit is this not of low pressure meandering in from the atlantic. It will work its way eastwards through the weekend. So the rain has been pushing on some heavy bursts particularly over the hills. It has been gradually spilling eastwards. It has cleared Northern Ireland and large parts of scotland. Still the chance of a few showers but the afternoon begins to brighten up. Accompanied by a blustery wind, 30 to a0 mph across western facing cuts. We could see a5 to 50 miles per. Quite disappointing underneath all the cloud and rain in england and wales, the highest temperatures for the northern half of the uk. As for the cricket at lords, we started off dry but the rain has been pushing on, little chance of play for the rest of this afternoon. That rain heavy and persistent as it works its way eastwards. Clear skies following behind. Also some heavy potentially thundery showers for parts of scotland. For most of us it is going to bea scotland. For most of us it is going to be a mild night. But it remains blustery into saturday. In fact the, the winds are strengthening further as the day goes on. An improvement across england and wales, more in the way of centring, still the chance of a couple of showers. The showers tending to be focus across north west scotland which could be heavy and potentially thundery. A reversal in fortunes as far as the temperatures go with highs in the southern half of the uk. The cloud increasing through the southern half of the uk through the evening with the chance of some rain courtesy of the chance of some rain courtesy of the weather front that may introduce the weather front that may introduce the rain as far north as east anglia before it starts to clear. Low pressure still firmly in charge. This is how sandy is shaping up. A blustery day, widely a0 to a5 mph along some North Western coastal areas. Some showers in the forecast too, which might merge together to form longer spells of rain. Some sunshine in the southern half of the uk. 0nce sunshine in the southern half of the uk. Once again, temperatures down towards the south and east reaching highs of 21. Looking ahead to next week, it looks as though it remains u nsettled, week, it looks as though it remains unsettled, we may have a brief interlude on tuesday, something more quiet before we see the return to more unsettled conditions
