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.

saying Britain cannot cherry pick. saying Britain cannot cherry pick.

: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.

Mason at Westminster, Jenny Hill in Berlin, thank you both.

:11:38.:11:40.

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.

: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.

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.

When Boko Haram came into town, life stopped here.

And while there are pockets of reconstruction in Bama,

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

More than 30 men and women now say he abused them.

: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.

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.

Nico Rosberg, who started on pole, won the race, putting him

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

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

surprisingly enjoyable spa weekend. surprisingly enjoyable spa weekend.
