he also didn't go far enough life in britain. he also didn't go farenough in life in britain. he also didn't go far enough in terms of the code of conduct. the code of conduct is the issue that i suppose has really revived concern among those in the jewish community because the labour party did not take on the full international code of conduct on anti—semitism. so jeremy corbyn talked about that within this article, he referred to the consultation that is going on, but he didn't actually say that he was cut to take it onto the latter. that is something, had he done that, it might have silenced his critics but because he didn't do that we have had more criticism from people. you have heard from an mp, ian austin, being investigated by the party at the moment because of a row he said was a bout anti—semitism and his concerns over that code of conduct not been taken on to the latter. ian austin has basically said that, when you are in a hole you should stop digging and he feels like the labour leader has not dealt with this properly. we have heard from the campaignfor proper

you don't have referenda after referenda in britain. a lot of countries do that but it's not the uk model. in the 19905, referenda we re fairly uk model. in the 19905, referenda were fairly unknown in britain. subsequent to tony blair becoming prime minister, we had loads. instability between representative in direct democracy. young people are spending far too much time on their mobile phones. that is not particularly surprising but seven hours a day in 16— 2a —year—olds and across the age groups, over 65 is spend a tiny proportion of their phones, even 55— 6a is not that much of the 16— 2a is really showing some cause for concern. my parents don't even know whether phone is. i have a friend who doesn't. what age is your friend? years for tea. as an educational li5t, it'5 friend? years for tea. as an educational li5t, it's the way in which people are sociali5ed differently. it affects their concentration 5pan differently. it affects their concentration span and a p5ychologi5t came up with the idea of digital immigrants. we do

the ft reports on the brexit secretary dominic raab's comments that britain and the eu are unlikely to meet their target of agreeing a brexit deal by october. meanwhile, the daily express says michael barnier has dramatically raised hopes of a brexit deal by conceding that the bloc is finally ready to offer britain a unique partnership. and the times suggests president macron is preparing to throw theresa may a lifeline by pushing other eu leaders to agree a close relationship with britain after brexit. the daily telegraph claims children will be banned from buy—ing energy drinks under plans announced by theresa may to tackle disruptive behaviour in classrooms — and pictures the duke and duchess of sussex at a gala performance of hamilton at the victoria palace a variety of front pages. and news that the brexit secretary has conceded that brexit deal talks are unlikely to hit the october deadline, what are the ramifications of this? many because clearly there is no agreement between the two sides on many of the key issues. and yet, they say that it might last untiljanuary yet, they

great britain's men win the world wheelchair basketball title. gb break the united states' four—year—long winning streak to take the title. and after a soggy sunday, today is looking drier, sunny and warm, with just one or two showers. i will have all the details here and break is. —— on breakfast. it is monday 27 august. our top story this morning: food prices are being tipped to rise as farmers and producers feel the effects of this year's extreme weather conditons. the cold snap earlier this year followed by the summer heatwave have contributed to the price of some vegetables rising by up to 80% over the last six months, as our reporter katy austin explains. this year, extreme cold has been followed by exceptional heat — a nightmare scenario for many farmers. farming has endured the worst summer drought in living memory, so that's impacted on wheat yields, so milling wheat is in short supply in northern europe, and vegetables in particular having been impacted quite severely, and so they will be in short supply in the coming months.

britain's biggest payday lender, wonga, has collapsed tonight afterfacing a surge in compensation claims. it follows a government crackdown on payday lenders. wonga has been criticised for its high—cost, short—term loans, seen as targeting the vulnerable. i think they deserved it. i think they deserved to go bust because they played on people who were vulnerable, and they didn't deserve it. we'll be asking why the compensation claims have proved so costly. also tonight: an unmarried mother who was denied a widowed parent's allowance for her children wins a landmark case that could benefit thousands of other bereaved families. for us, it was just a case of that this was wrong and it was to fight that injustice. the veteran mp frank field says he'll no longer sit with labour in parliament. he resigns the whip, saying his party's leadership is becoming a force for anti—semitism in british politics. should high caffeine, high sugar energy drinks be banned for the under—18s? the government's considering it to fight childhood obesity. and from the queen to an astronaut‘s wife — the

in south africa again it was a coalition and united front, except britain and america, of sanctions. russia is actually the subject of sanctions widely throughout the west. but in turkey it seems like a personal fight that trump is picking with erdogan. and also catering to the base of conservative christians who want turkey to release this particular american pastor who is in prison in turkey. that's right. and of course the americans are not sending back to turkey an enemy of erdogan that he wants extradicted. fethullah g len, who he accuses of being involved being in the coup. i do think that what we're seeing with america first is it turns out to be america alone. america is throwing hand grenades around the world to all international organisations, to all previous alliances. nato, explosive, his nato meeting. his attitudes towards europe, quite extraordinarily hostile. it is america with no friends which is a very peculiar way of being first. except saudi arabia and israel. so essentially really nasty regimes, the leaders of really terrible regimes that see themselves... i'm not

what links this protest to britain, in britain at the moment the second largest national minority are not the irish, after the polish people, they are the romanians. they have lost more of that population than any other country in the world except syria between 2010 and 2015. a desperate brain drain. notjust millions, it is educated young workers, this protest is being led by that diaspora, they are going back and telling the government that they are corrupt and have their heads in the sand, sailing, sort this out. remainiacs has a history of quite violent protest. the only revolution dash—macro mania has this history. —— romania. a wake—up call toa history. —— romania. a wake—up call to a government that is failing its population. we can see some of those images. you can see the scale of what is going on. it is scary stuff. and i say, go for it but take care. this sort of puppet prime minister and the man who actually leads the party in power is prevented from being prime minister because of an investigation being carried out. the whole thing is a sort of quagmire of la

we are now eight months from britain leaving europe. there is a feeling in brussels and in paris that the british government was incredibly unprepared and has done nothing professional to tackle the problems of brexit, i hesitate to say. yes, mrs may should get some help because eu will sufferfrom a mrs may should get some help because eu will suffer from a hard mrs may should get some help because eu will sufferfrom a hard brexit with no deal. at the same time, the feeling that it is up to the europeans to counter the other partners in this divorce who had not prepared anything and says meet me halfway, that is probably not going to happen. that is really interesting, that you think he won't sort of meat in the middle, so he is going to be a sounding board for theresa may, but he is ultimately on the side of, as we heard our correspondent says, france and germany sticking to the rules here. he might try to find concessions so that mrs may doesn't lose face, and this may be io%, and if she's lucky, 20-25%. the this may be io%, and if sh

in terms ofjobs, and france stands to benefit from britain leaving, so i do not think thatis britain leaving, so i do not think that is a worry for him, but i think he will look to protect the eu‘s integrity and not allow brexit to create precedents that might be a problem. i do not think she will get movement from him, although there is a lot britain and france can discuss together. what about security? might he give ground on that and promise closer security ties? we have important bilateral links on defence, intelligence, security that will go on after brexit and things like the situation in iran. the eu is the place where a lot of the cooperation between police forces, judicial authorities goes on and that depends on eu agreements. at the moment we have an ambitious british proposal to wrap that up into a big security treaty and i do not think it feasible. the lords committee i sit on decided that did not look feasible. but talking to emmanuel macron about some of the keyissues emmanuel macron about some of the key issues that we need to protect, looking for pragmatic deals to
