And well be talking to the man who wrote the eulogy for an icelandic glacier which has disappeared because of Climate Change. We will be live in westminster to look at that letter from Boris Johnson to donald tusk suggesting the irish border backstop has to be replaced with an alternative if the uk and the eu can find a deal that the uk will accept. Before that before that. What a striking image this is. Sudans former president , Omar Al Bashir was driven from power earlier this year. This is him today in court, inside a cage. Hes facing corruption charges. We already know that millions of dollars in cash was seized at his house. And investigators are alleging that mr bashir has admitted receiving 90 million from saudi arabia. Though his lawyers say all allegations against him are baseless. Omar al bashir is also accused of being involved in the killing of people who protested against his rule. And inevitably, this trial is seen as a test of whether the Ruling Military Council can deal with the actions of the previous regime. The case was being heard in the capital khartoum today sally nabil was there. Former president Omar Al Bashir has left the courtroom a short while ago ina left the courtroom a short while ago in a heavily secured convoy. This is his first session. A lot of sudanese have been dreaming of seeing him behind bars. Weve been talking to young sudanese men and women. They told me they are happy about the fa ct told me they are happy about the fact bashir is standing trial but they are so angry he is just being prosecuted for corruption charges. They say that he should be accused of far more serious crimes. They refer them to what happened in the Western Region for darfur where a conflict has been going on for nearly six years. They accuse him of being totally responsible for mass murder, ethnic cleansing, genocide in the Western Region of darfur. They also told me they arent sure that bashir will stand a fair trial because they believe that the judiciary is made up of people appointed by bashir himself. On the other hand, supporters of the former president say that he shouldnt be tried alone. He isjust part president say that he shouldnt be tried alone. He is just part of a much wider system and that many other people should be standing in the dock with him today. Studio more analysis in half an hour. Lets turn to this letter from Boris Johnson to donald tusk, president of the european council. It begins, the date of the exit from the eu the 31st of october is fast approaching. Lets break down the points he makes. First mrjohnson is proposing the backstop should be replaced with a commitment to put in place alternative arrangements before the end of a transition period. Weve heard about alternatives before, they havent been entirely persuasive for all members of parliament. Mrjohnson says the uk would be happy to accept a legally binding commitment that no infrastructure or checks would put on the irish border. The issue is that the eu say it has a Single Market and if there is no dealfor the uk to have some form of access to it, you will have to have some type of hard border, the eu would say. Mrjohnson tells donald tusk the uk would be happy to accept, ive mentioned that one. The irish backstop is about the fact that if and when brexit happens, Northern Ireland will exit the eu along with the rest of the uk and ireland will remain very much part of it. If there is no arrangement in place then there is a risk that the hard border of some form is necessary but the eu and uk say that has to be avoided. They cant agree on how to do that. Lets speak to nick eardley at westminster. There not something particularly new in this idea of technology and alternative arrangements. Boris johnsons hold argument has been the backstop has to go, replace it with alternative arrangements based around technology and then you have around technology and then you have a deal which could get through the house of commons. One thing that is new in the letter is he is saying to europe, we understand alternative arrangements might not be enough, we understand you might want further assurances and we are prepared to look at that. It sounds a bit like a new sort of backstop, not the same as the one looked atjust know which the conservatives believe tidy uk far too closely to the eu without a say on how it can get out. Boris johnson is slightly opening a door to some sort of compromise whereby the government in europe would agree something that gave them a full back basically for if these Technological Solutions were not ready by the end of the transition period which is already written into the Withdrawal Agreement ending at the end of 2020. Farfrom agreement ending at the end of 2020. Far from clear agreement ending at the end of 2020. Farfrom clear any agreement ending at the end of 2020. Far from clear any of this will work. Borisjohnson far from clear any of this will work. Boris johnson had far from clear any of this will work. Borisjohnson had a chat with leo varadkar who has made clear their Withdrawal Agreement wont be revisited. Time and again we heard brussels say that. This is Boris Johnson trying to move some of that pressure by saying we are trying to be reasonable, pressure by saying we are trying to be reasonable, we pressure by saying we are trying to be reasonable, we are trying to look at some commitment on the irish border. Isnt the point of a transition period that it has an end point whereas the eu has always said with the backstop there cannot be an end point otherwise its not a backstop . That is right. The transition period written into the current deal only happens if the deal is past and that runs until the end of 2020. If there isnt a Free Trade Agreement in place which would remove the need for the backstop, the backstop kicks in. It concerned that the reason it never passed was the uk wouldnt have a unilateral say on when it could leave the backstop. They fear being tied to it in perpetuity. The european side say this is about making sure, no matter what happens, in all circumstances, we avoid a return to a hard border in ireland. What borisjohnson is doing is saying, it opening a door offering some sort of dream for negotiation. Some sort of room. Elsewhere and a clear message from the uk government today. It says freedom of movement as it currently stands will end on october 31st. That means people from elsewhere in the European Union will no longer be able to live and work in the uk without restriction. Thats in the event of a no deal brexit. We dont know what would happen if a deal is reached. At the weekend, home secretary priti patel said she wanted these border restrictions. Today, Prime MinisterBoris Johnson backed her up. What we are going to do is leave the eu. And that means that legally all those powers revert to the uk. I wa nt to those powers revert to the uk. I want to stress because people get a bit confused or can be. That doesnt mean we are going to stop anybody coming into this country. It doesnt mean we are going to become remotely hostile to immigration or to immigrants. Im not at all. I used to run the most diverse city in the world and was very proud of it. What it does mean is that immigration into the uk will be democratically controlled and we will be producing an australian style points based system to do it. This is a change from the immigration policies proposed by theresa mays government. It proposed extending freedom of movement untiljanuary 202i. And allowing eu citizens to come to the uk for three months before having to apply to stay longer. All that has gone now. Heres danny shaw on what this new policy means in practical terms. Its quite difficult to bar people who are eu nationals from coming to the uk. You have to show that they are present and genuine threat to the fundamental interest of society. Thats quite a high bar. Under the new rules as far as i think they will apply, border staff will look at peoples previous convictions, if theyve got recent convictions in theyve got recent convictions in the last 12 months, if they have committed a offence that caused serious harm. All of those aspects will be taken into account and they tougherfor you to tougher for you to get access to the uk. This is a policy very much aimed at his supporters in the uk im guessing. Designed to be the uk government borisjohnson guessing. Designed to be the uk government Boris Johnson is guessing. Designed to be the uk government borisjohnson is going to end faster to end freedom of movement than theresa may did. What isnt clear is that although the two plans have been scrapped we dont know what will replace them. There will be something later trying to outline what immigration will look like post brexit. Outline what immigration will look like post brexit. At outline what immigration will look like post brexit. At the moment it isnt clear. Buckingham palace has been defending Queen Elizabeths son Prince Andrew, after new questions have emerged about his friendship with convicted peadophileJeffrey Epstein. The mail on sunday published a video of the prince inside epsteins house in december 2010 two years after he pleaded guilty to soliciting a minorfor prostitution. Our royal correpsondent Nicholas Witchell has this report. They are images that will haunt him Prince Andrew at the home of a convicted paedophile.

Prince andrew has always denied that he has been involved in any impropriety with underage girls. Last night, Buckingham Palace added to this. The duke of york has been appalled by the recent reports ofJeffrey Epsteins alleged crimes. The denials of impropriety are emphatic, but what the palace cannot do is explain why Prince Andrew chose to continue his friendship with epstein or why he was at his home in new york.

At least 235 million is generated yearly from ads running on extremist and disinformation websites, according to a new report from the the global disinformation index. And many of the advertisers dont even know about it. Clare melford is one of those behind the report. What i think its different. Inaudible sorry, you can see the clip but not fully. Apologies. A herd of cows has moved into europes busiest port in the netherlands. Cut fresh milk within touching distance of the city. These cattle have been recruited to show urban populations how to produce our meals closer to home. Peter believes this is the future of milk and cheese. We see a huge migration from the countryside towards cities. We have a Climate Change going on so we are looking also for what we call planet adaptive location. No matter how much rain falls or how high the sea level goes, we can always produce healthy food. Deflating pontoon is built on three levels. In the basement they are growing fruit to flavour the Dairy Products which are processed in the middle and on top, 32 native dutch cows. Aside from the Copious Amounts of hay, these cows are also fed on grass trimmings from local football pitches, golf courses and parks. Commercial food local football pitches, golf courses and parks. Commercialfood waste local football pitches, golf courses and parks. Commercial food waste as well. We are told the grain is a particular favourite, these leftovers would otherwise be thrown away.

Here is that clip i was trying to play you. What i think its different about the situation now is it has become a profitable business to make money off this information. Advertising online is placed automatically and this means if you can makea automatically and this means if you can make a website that gets clicks you can get ad dollars. Those advertisers have no chance to veto the sites because it is done automatically and they wont know until afterwards where their ads have shown up. A ban on tech giant huawei doing business in the us which will now be delayed by 90 days. Us commerce secretary wilbur ross has said that the scheduled ban will in fact only come into force in three months time. This contradicts what President Trump said just yesterday that he does not want to do business at all with the company. Michelle fleury in new york. So far, so confusing. Help me out, why would they push back the ban three months . I think there are a couple of audiences the white house is trying to reach. One reason to argue for this delay is that it will help out many of the us companies that supply huawei with equipment and that risk essentially losing out on revenue. This comes at a time when weve seen huge drops in the share price, concerns about the health of the american economy. Also it helps those consumers who rely on huawei products. It gives them more time to switch to other alternatives. Then we have the president saying he doesnt want to do business with huawei, weve got on the one Hand National security concerns which is why you have trump pushing back this band but then talking tough and saying it doesnt want to do business with huawei on the grounds they are concerned its equipment might be used to spy on other countries and companies. That ties into the broader trade dispute going on between america and china. Thirdly, these contracts involving the future sg these contracts involving the future 5g network where huawei has many contracts in the Us Government wants to make sure america has a technical leadership position and is trying to assert its position by warning other countries, you might want to pause before yo
