The previous owners, Dominic Chappell and Sir Philip | :01:28. | :01:30. | |

The shelves are being packed up, everything has been marked down to | :02:31. | :02:33. | |

If you look over there, you will see empty shelves and | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
there you will see boxes of old DVDs for ?1. | :02:44. | :02:45. | |

That is the end of the BHS brand, what happens in a row over the | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
pension fund? Sir Philip Green is in charge of the pensions regulator, | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
you'll want to find out how much money is needed so all BHS | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
get exactly what they are entitled get exactly what they are entitled | :04:24. | :04:27. | |

actually pays, I suspect it won't actually pays, I suspect it won't | :04:49. | :04:53. | |

with the Prime Minister at Chequers. on Wednesday to discuss Brexit | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
We'll hear from our political correspondent, Chris Mason | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
at Westminster in a moment but first to Jenny Hill in Berlin. | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
In some respects there were no about the German | :08:43. | :08:52. | |
In some respects there were no surprises here, the big fear for the | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
German government is Brexit will precipitate the disintegration of | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
Europe. That's why we heard sick, Gabriel saying today if negotiations | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
are handled badly then other member states might start to leave, too, | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
and the EU will go down the drain. and the EU will go down the drain. | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
Mr Gabriel isn't going to be the last German politician you'll hear | :09:12. | :09:12. | |
saying Britain cannot cherry pick. saying Britain cannot cherry pick. | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
Tonight he has said Britain can't Tonight he has said Britain can't | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
expect to take away the nice things without taking responsibility, too. | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
he represents the views of many he represents the views of many | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
German politicians here. Angela Merkel tends to be rather more | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
conciliatory, she's given an interview to German media tonight in | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
which she is said that the Brexit decision has been difficult, and | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
that other EU member states must rush to decisions when it comes to | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
working out how to deal with it. Nevertheless, despite the softer | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
tone from Mrs Merkel you can expect two things. First of all, she's not | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
going to give ground on the issue of going to give ground on the issue of | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
freedom of movement, that is an absolute abiding principle for Mrs | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
Merkel and the German government. Merkel and the German government. | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
Secondly, they're in mind Mrs Merkel has been doing the rounds this week, | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
she's visited something like 15 different European leaders this week | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
trying to broker a deal for the future of Europe. She is really | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
starting to plan, making a very good show of starting to plan, for a | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
Europe without Britain in it. That is the view from Berlin. Let's turn | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
to Chris Mason in Westminster. What do we know about how our government | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
is going to approach Brexit? It'll be a big moment on Wednesday when | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
Theresa May covers her cabinet for the first time since the summer | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
break at Chequers, her country retreat in Buckinghamshire. She's | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
asked them to come along with ideas on how best to deliver Brexit, the | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
big question the big government faces. There will be differing | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
views. Some want to emphasise a desire that will ensure access to | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
could pose problems in terms of could pose problems in terms of | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
dealing with immigration. There will be different views here as well, | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
when MPs come back to Parliament a week tomorrow. Today we've seen a | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
new group emerged cold", it emerged from the ashes of a failed Remain | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
campaign, one of its founding members, Anna Soubry, a Conservative | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
MP, has said tonight it is absolutely critical for UK maintains | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
access to that single market. And yet as we were hearing from Jenny, | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
there will be voices in Europe that they that can't happen if freedom of | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
movement is going to be shifted as a policy idea as well. A huge amount | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
for the new government to wrestle with. Downing Street said today that | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
Theresa May returns to work after her summer break with Brexit top of | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
her in a tray. It will remain top of her in tray for years to come. Chris | :11:33. | :11:37. | |

Aid agencies are warning of a growing humanitarian crisis | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
in north-eastern Nigeria, where more than two million | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
people have been displaced by the Boko Haram insurgency. | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
The United Nations says 50,000 children could die from malnutrition | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
unless they receive immediate assistance. | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
Our correspondent, Martin Patience, has gained rare access to the town | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
of Bama, one of the worst affected by the violence. | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
This was a town once controlled by Boko Haram, | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
but it is only now that the scale of the suffering is being revealed. | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
Three-year-old Mohammed is close to death. | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
severe malnutrition. of a million children suffering | :12:17. | :12:25. | |
Doctors are struggling to save his life. | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
There was no money to buy food. Mohammed's mother tells me. | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
Life in the village was the survival of the fittest. | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
Rescued by the army, relief is now at hand. | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
Bama feels frozen in time. street after street of devastation. | :12:50. | :13:01. | |
When Boko Haram came into town, life stopped here. | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
These people were filling up their cars at the local petrol | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
station, but most of them never got away. | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
Nobody knows for sure. died in the violence. | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
And while there are pockets of reconstruction in Bama, | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
But it's not just here. to be done. | :13:19. | :13:26. | |

The family of the late Labour peer Lord Janner are demanding | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
until civil cases are heard. postpones plans to investigate him | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
They say they should have the chance to cross-examine his accusers | :14:58. | :14:59. | |
to clear his name. to use their inheritance | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
flash photography. Symonds' report contains | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
Lord Janner was hauled to court last year to face multiple criminal | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
charges of child abuse, but he died within months. | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
That left unresolved allegations dating back to his life | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
homes and schools. regularly visiting children's | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
More than 30 men and women now say he abused them. | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
he left his children. for compensation from the money | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
100%. is determined to fight the claims. | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
Our family has decided this is what we want to use such | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
inheritance as there is to clear his name. | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
will investigate the Janner case. into child sexual abuse | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
It wants to know whether the earliest allegations | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
The family's position is clear. in a failure to prosecute. | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
He has never been convicted of any offence and is entirely innocent. | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
He was not prosecuted because the allegations were fabricated. | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
They were investigated by the police, properly, | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
and dismissed as the rubbish that they were. | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
What this enquiry is doing is working on an assumption of guilt. | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
The family have been told they will not be able to fully cross | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
examine Lord Janner's accusers at the enquiry, | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
which is why they want to bring the case here to the civil courts. | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
But those who represent alleged victims are worried the courts may | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
They say the inquiry is vital. for there to be a ruling | :16:36. | :16:44. | |
Lord Janner over the years. allegations made against | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
He was somebody of huge importance in the political world, | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
a member of Parliament, sat in the House of Lords, | :16:54. | :16:55. | |
and the crimes are alleged to have taken place within an institution, | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
so they do fit neatly into the remit of the national inquiry. | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
Lord Janner's family are fighting back against dozens of accusers | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
making allegations spanning decades. | :17:06. | :17:07. | |
Neither side is prepared to back down. | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
Good evening. Downes at the BBC Sport Centre. | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
Lewis Hamilton fought his way from the back row of the grid | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
to finish third in a chaotic Belgian Grand Prix at Spa. | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
Nico Rosberg, who started on pole, won the race, putting him | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
After the summer break, this was the in the drivers' championship. | :17:30. | :17:42. | |
After the summer break, this was the weekend spa and retreat, but here | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
there was to be no relaxation. Championship leader Lewis Hamilton | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
excelled to the back row of the grid, punishment for a series of | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
penalties. At the front was Nico penalties. At the front was Nico | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
Rosberg. In between there were other battles. That early drama saw Lewis | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
that would make all come to a stop that would make all come to a stop | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
and catch their breath. Kevin Magnuson perhaps lucky to escape. | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
The race halted, time to reassess. Once back, Hamilton surged forward | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
again, doing what he does best, incredibly now up to third. Ahead of | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
him Daniel Ricciardo and eventual winner Nico Rosberg. To catch them | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
would prove too much. For Hamilton from the back row to the podium, a | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
surprisingly enjoyable spa weekend. surprisingly enjoyable spa weekend. | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
