:00:27. > :00:28.It is totally unacceptable to me, to the organisation,

:00:44. > :00:47.into paying a high price to leave the EU.

:00:48. > :00:49.It's clear that businesses, not just in Europe but investors

:00:50. > :00:52.in places like here in Japan, are getting impatient

:01:38. > :02:02.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.

:02:03. > :02:05.The private security company G4S has suspended nine employees,

:02:06. > :02:09.following claims of abuse and assaults on detainees

:02:10. > :02:14.An undercover investigation by the BBC's Panorama programme

:02:15. > :02:19.appears to show staff mocking, abusing and threatening violence

:02:20. > :02:22.against detainees at Brook House, near Gatwick Airport.

:02:23. > :02:25.G4S says there is "no place for the type of conduct described

:02:26. > :02:29.in the allegations", and that it has immediately

:02:30. > :02:36.Our social affairs correspondent Alison Holt has the details.

:02:37. > :02:39.Just metres from the runway at Gatwick Airport is Brook House,

:02:40. > :02:44.an immigration removal centre run by the global security firm G4S.

:02:45. > :02:47.Here, foreign national prisoners facing deportation at the end

:02:48. > :02:50.of their sentence are detained alongside asylum seekers,

:02:51. > :02:55.illegal migrants and those who have overstayed their visas.

:02:56. > :03:02.A secret world of drugs, violence and abuse...

:03:03. > :03:04.Undercover filming as part of a Panorama investigation to be

:03:05. > :03:07.broadcast this Monday alleges that some staff at Brook House, mock,

:03:08. > :03:12.It exposes a place awash with drugs, with self-harm commonplace

:03:13. > :03:21.The company says it's waiting to see the footage but has suspended nine

:03:22. > :03:28.My initial reaction is absolutely disgusted by the alleged behaviour.

:03:29. > :03:31.It's totally unacceptable to me, to the organisation,

:03:32. > :03:36.to anyone else who would work in this kind of vocation.

:03:37. > :03:39.It is the Home Office that decides who is detained

:03:40. > :03:41.at centres like Brook House, whilst their immigration

:03:42. > :03:48.It says in a statement: We condemn any action that is put the safety

:03:49. > :03:53.or dignity of immigration removal centre detainees at risk.

:03:54. > :03:56.It also says that G4S needs to ensure there is a thorough

:03:57. > :03:58.investigation into the allegations at the centre and that it

:03:59. > :04:17.What sort of issues are likely to be thrown up by this investigation? We

:04:18. > :04:20.are going to know the detailed allegations on Monday, when the

:04:21. > :04:24.programme is broadcast, and that is bound to raise issues about the

:04:25. > :04:29.culture within a place such as Brook House. But there are wider, broader

:04:30. > :04:33.issues around immigration detention, for instance, in Brook House, as

:04:34. > :04:38.with other detention sentence, they have a mix of ex-offenders who are

:04:39. > :04:41.being difficult -- deported from the country, along with asylum seekers,

:04:42. > :04:47.others who may not have had experience of a prison type

:04:48. > :04:52.environment before. The description of life inside Brook House is of it

:04:53. > :04:56.being a toxic mix. So there are questions around that. But places

:04:57. > :05:00.like this were built to house people for 72 hours before they were

:05:01. > :05:04.removed for the country -- from the country. Across the board we are

:05:05. > :05:08.seeing the length of stay in such places increasing. Brook House, it's

:05:09. > :05:13.48 days is the average we are told by inspectors. Some people have been

:05:14. > :05:16.there for more than two years. That in itself raises issues about the

:05:17. > :05:21.efficiency of the system and the impact that Ben has on at times

:05:22. > :05:23.vulnerable individuals. Alison Holt, thank you.

:05:24. > :05:25.And you can see the Panorama documentary Undercover -

:05:26. > :05:32.Britain's Immigration Secrets, on Monday evening on BBC One at 9pm.

:05:33. > :05:34.The International Trade Secretary Liam Fox has accused

:05:35. > :05:37.the European Union of trying to blackmail Britain into accepting

:05:38. > :05:42.The EU insists issues arising from the UK's withdrawal must be

:05:43. > :05:46.dealt with before any talks can begin about future trade relations.

:05:47. > :05:58.Our political correspondent Iain Watson reports.

:05:59. > :06:04.Liam Fox exchanging a memorandum of understanding with Japan on trade,

:06:05. > :06:08.but he isn't as delighted with the EU Commission. He accused them of

:06:09. > :06:11.trying to exact a price for moving on from the first stage of Brexit

:06:12. > :06:16.negotiations. We can't be blackmailed into paying a price on

:06:17. > :06:19.the first part. We think that we should begin discussions on the

:06:20. > :06:23.final settlement, because that's good for business. At issue is the

:06:24. > :06:29.divorce bill for leaving the EU. But Hitachi press conference in Brussels

:06:30. > :06:39.yesterday, the European Commission's chief

:06:40. > :06:43.negotiator argued that wider trade talks could begin only after Britain

:06:44. > :06:46.gave an indication of how much it was willing to pay. Liam Fox told

:06:47. > :06:49.the BBC that businesses were getting frustrated. What we need to do is to

:06:50. > :06:51.begin in parallel talk about what the final solution to the trading

:06:52. > :06:54.relationship is going to look like and it's very clear that businesses,

:06:55. > :06:56.not just in Europe, but investors in places like here in Japan, are

:06:57. > :07:01.getting impatient. Liam Fox gave a series of broadcast interviews in

:07:02. > :07:05.Japan but only made the accusation of EU blackmail once. That suggests

:07:06. > :07:10.it wasn't a pre-scripted attack. Nonetheless it could be a sign of

:07:11. > :07:13.frustration that the government was Mac strategy, to put more pressure

:07:14. > :07:17.on the European Commission to deliver trade talks this autumn, so

:07:18. > :07:21.far hasn't succeeded. And some in Brussels are blaming Britain for any

:07:22. > :07:25.delay. I'd like to remind Mr Fox that the referendum happened in June

:07:26. > :07:31.20 16. It took nine months for the British government to trickle

:07:32. > :07:34.Article 50, so nine months to shape its positions and now it's been six

:07:35. > :07:38.months and we've yet to make any serious progress. And some

:07:39. > :07:42.opposition politicians here are claimed -- claiming that Liam Fox's

:07:43. > :07:48.talk of blackmail will simply make matters worse. His language is

:07:49. > :07:51.intensely unhelpful. This is sabre rattling from the trade secretary

:07:52. > :07:56.who is twiddling his thumbs, because he cannot do anything until the

:07:57. > :08:00.trade position of the UK has been resolved with the EU. There's been a

:08:01. > :08:05.lot of talk about what businesses want from Brexit. Well, they say

:08:06. > :08:09.less of a slanging match and more substance, please. This is politics

:08:10. > :08:12.so there will always be a bit of bluster and gameplaying by both

:08:13. > :08:16.sides. I think businesses would like to see both sides maybe tone it down

:08:17. > :08:20.a little bit and get back to focusing on those issues which

:08:21. > :08:32.matter so much to both sides. This week the government

:08:33. > :08:36.focused on its trading relationship with Japan. But it's our future

:08:37. > :08:37.trade link across the channel that is proving harder to negotiate. Iain

:08:38. > :08:39.Watson, BBC News. Our correspondent Gary O'Donoghue

:08:40. > :08:48.is in Washington. In the next few minutes you will

:08:49. > :08:51.listen to a speech from David Davis? Hotfooting after the bruising

:08:52. > :08:56.encounter with Michel Barnier, David Davis will think he's more among

:08:57. > :09:00.friends. He's promised a speech that is optimistic, that sets out what he

:09:01. > :09:04.sees as a potential deepening of the relationship between Britain and the

:09:05. > :09:08.United States post-Brexit. It's worth remembering that the amount of

:09:09. > :09:11.foreign investment in Britain, from America and vice versa, really

:09:12. > :09:15.dwarfs that from most other countries, most other individual

:09:16. > :09:19.countries. So there's quite a lot at stake. Donald Trump said in the last

:09:20. > :09:22.few weeks that there are discussions ongoing, when he was asked that

:09:23. > :09:27.directly. He says there would be a major deal with Britain after

:09:28. > :09:30.Brexit, but it's worth noting that at the moment what actually is

:09:31. > :09:35.occupying the American government is discussions over the north of North

:09:36. > :09:39.American Free Trade Agreement, Nafta, renegotiating that, and big

:09:40. > :09:43.rows with China on trade. Whether Britain will get as good looking

:09:44. > :09:47.quite so soon I think is up for debate. Gary O'Donoghue, thank you,

:09:48. > :09:48.in Washington. Chris Morris from BBC

:09:49. > :09:51.Reality Check has been looking at where the negotiations go

:09:52. > :10:03.from here, at the end There's a lot of frustration about

:10:04. > :10:06.because the UK Cosmo mail -- main goal in the Brexit negotiations is

:10:07. > :10:08.to move on as quickly as possible from talking about past obligations

:10:09. > :10:12.to talking about a future partnership with the EU. But there's

:10:13. > :10:17.a long road ahead and it's going to get bumpy. The EU's chief negotiator

:10:18. > :10:20.Michel Barnier said yesterday there had been no decisive progress on any

:10:21. > :10:23.of the main issues. In other words, for

:10:24. > :10:25.the moment, it's no go. So a quick reminder about the issues

:10:26. > :10:29.on which the EU says progress has to be made before it will talk more

:10:30. > :10:32.about the futur First, the status of EU citizens in the UK

:10:33. > :10:35.and UK citizens elsewhere in Europe. There was some progress this week -

:10:36. > :10:38.confirmation that after Brexit these citizens will still be able

:10:39. > :10:40.to use their EHIC There's no agreement on that,

:10:41. > :10:44.though, for the rest of us. And here's the overall sticking

:10:45. > :10:46.point - who would have legal authority over any deal

:10:47. > :10:48.on citizens' rights. The UK says that's not

:10:49. > :10:54.acceptable after Brexit. The second major focus

:10:55. > :10:56.at the moment is the border between Northern Ireland

:10:57. > :10:58.and the Irish Republic. The UK says it wants to maintain

:10:59. > :11:01.an "invisible border" after Brexit, with no physical infrastructure,

:11:02. > :11:04.and there were, we're told, "good But while the EU understands

:11:05. > :11:10.the sensitivities on the border, it says frictionless trade

:11:11. > :11:12.is impossible once the UK leaves the single market

:11:13. > :11:25.and the customs union. The toughest issue of all, money.

:11:26. > :11:29.What are the UK's financial obligations to the EU when it

:11:30. > :11:33.leaves. The EU could be looking for a net amount after some money comes

:11:34. > :11:36.back to the UK of as much as 60 billion euros is, that is based

:11:37. > :11:40.largely on commitments the UK has already made. But the UK questioned

:11:41. > :11:43.the legal basis of these calculations and it went through

:11:44. > :11:49.them line by line this week. It is not prepared to pay nearly as much.

:11:50. > :11:53.So to get to whether UK wants to be, talking about this future trade

:11:54. > :11:56.relationship, a lot of progress will have to be made in the next few

:11:57. > :12:00.weeks before the leaders of the other 27 EU countries meet for a

:12:01. > :12:04.summit in Brussels. That will take place on the 19th and 20th of

:12:05. > :12:08.October, when they'll make a decision one way or another. If they

:12:09. > :12:11.don't think sufficient progress is being made, they won't meet again

:12:12. > :12:15.until just before Christmas. That would make substantive talks on

:12:16. > :12:17.trade not beginning until well into the New Year come with time ticking

:12:18. > :12:21.away. Chris Morris, thank you. President Trump is expected to ask

:12:22. > :12:23.Congress for the equivalent of ?4.5 billion, to help people

:12:24. > :12:27.affected by Storm Harvey in Texas. The total cost of repairing

:12:28. > :12:30.the damage, and compensating residents whose homes have been

:12:31. > :12:32.flooded, is estimated In Houston, Texas, and beyond,

:12:33. > :12:42.there is little sign After more than four feet of rain

:12:43. > :12:51.in less than a week, it could be days before the water

:12:52. > :12:54.levels fully recede. Thousands of people have now been

:12:55. > :12:57.rescued from their homes, grabbing what they can carry

:12:58. > :13:01.and getting out. Overnight, the storm moved

:13:02. > :13:09.on to Tennessee, bringing more I was walking in the grass

:13:10. > :13:17.and I was walking, and I stepped down, and something just

:13:18. > :13:20.swept me up under. My head was hit, I seen

:13:21. > :13:23.light up under there, and I came out and I tried to grab

:13:24. > :13:26.a tree, and it's And I grabbed onto another tree,

:13:27. > :13:31.and I asked the Lord to help me, and I just started pulling myself up

:13:32. > :13:34.out of there. The Vice-President, Mike Pence,

:13:35. > :13:36.flew into Texas to see This is a key moment

:13:37. > :13:43.for the embattled and historically We are here today, we will be

:13:44. > :13:56.here tomorrow, and we will be here every day, until this city

:13:57. > :14:00.and this state and this region rebuild bigger

:14:01. > :14:09.and better than ever before. But this level of devastation

:14:10. > :14:12.is going to take vast Later today, the White House

:14:13. > :14:17.is expected to ask Congress for an initial $5.9 billion

:14:18. > :14:22.in emergency funding. But the authorities in Texas alone

:14:23. > :14:25.say the state might eventually need People here are

:14:26. > :14:33.vulnerable and in need. Recovery and rebuilding is going

:14:34. > :14:38.to take months, if not years. Aid agencies are describing flooding

:14:39. > :14:47.across South Asia as one of the worst regional crises

:14:48. > :14:49.in recent years. More than 1200 people have died

:14:50. > :14:53.in India, Bangladesh and Nepal, Many people are sleeping on

:14:54. > :14:59.roadsides and in makeshift shelters. The only traffic now,

:15:00. > :15:07.makeshift canoes and boats. It almost disappears

:15:08. > :15:12.under the waters. Across Bangladesh, almost a third

:15:13. > :15:17.of the country has been affected. Heavy monsoon rains making this

:15:18. > :15:22.the worst flooding in decades. The whole region has been hit,

:15:23. > :15:26.with more than 1200 dead, and more than 40 million forced

:15:27. > :15:30.to leave their homes, affecting India, Nepal,

:15:31. > :15:36.Bangladesh, and now Pakistan. The level of devastation

:15:37. > :15:40.is horrible and it's massive. Millions of children have been

:15:41. > :15:45.affected, and as we know, throughout the region there's

:15:46. > :15:47.40 million people overall, So right now the rains have subsided

:15:48. > :15:52.and people are starting In Mumbai, on India's west coast,

:15:53. > :15:59.33 people were killed when this building collapsed under the weight

:16:00. > :16:03.of heavy rain. The youngest victim

:16:04. > :16:08.a 20-month-old baby. 500 miles away, Pakistan's

:16:09. > :16:10.biggest city, Karachi, was brought to a standstill,

:16:11. > :16:14.streets submerged, more In Bangladesh, millions made

:16:15. > :16:23.homeless have gone to higher ground. Vulnerable to disease, they count

:16:24. > :16:29.the cost and hope to rebuild. The private security firm G4S

:16:30. > :16:42.suspends nine members of staff, after complaints about conduct

:16:43. > :16:45.at an immigration centre Coming up: a summer of spending -

:16:46. > :16:51.we look at the players and money changing hands,

:16:52. > :16:53.as the football There's a good start

:16:54. > :17:03.to the Italian Grand Prix weekend Fastest in the first practice

:17:04. > :17:08.session, over a second quicker than his title rival,

:17:09. > :17:19.Sebastian Vettel. The long-running strike affecting

:17:20. > :17:22.bin collections in Birmingham has resumed this morning

:17:23. > :17:24.after redundancy notices The industrial action was suspended

:17:25. > :17:29.last month after seven weeks, during which time rubbish piled up

:17:30. > :17:32.on many of the city's streets. Our Midlands correspondent

:17:33. > :17:35.Sima Kotecha reports. It looks bad and it

:17:36. > :17:40.smells even worse. A bin strike that's been

:17:41. > :17:42.going on for weeks and people I mean, there's bags

:17:43. > :17:52.dumped everywhere. Bags which have opened up and just

:17:53. > :17:55.scattered all across the road and we have to walk through it

:17:56. > :17:58.every single day. They need to sort something

:17:59. > :18:05.out between themselves That smell, it's so awful that

:18:06. > :18:11.you would rather do this The council and the refuse workers

:18:12. > :18:15.are arguing about shift patterns, This strike started

:18:16. > :18:20.at the end of June. The council claims that it's been

:18:21. > :18:23.costing them around ?40,000 per day to hire agency staff to clean up

:18:24. > :18:26.all this rubbish. Then the industrial action

:18:27. > :18:32.was suspended in the middle of August as the two sides held

:18:33. > :18:39.talks to figure out what to do next. Then at 7.30am this morning

:18:40. > :18:42.the strike was back on. And that's because the council

:18:43. > :18:44.confirmed last night it The Unite union says they won't let

:18:45. > :18:48.that happen and will carry on striking for three

:18:49. > :18:49.hours every day. Paid officers of the council want

:18:50. > :19:01.to make cuts and they want to damage trade unionism within the council

:19:02. > :19:03.and they've taken a decision to sabotage an honourable settlement

:19:04. > :19:09.that was reached at Acas to do so. The row's got worse because the

:19:10. > :19:12.council's leader had said in principle there would be no

:19:13. > :19:16.redundancies but he's come under pressure from his Cabinet to change

:19:17. > :19:20.his stance because some of them say no job losses are unaffordable.

:19:21. > :19:23.Redundancy notices have been issued but everyone still has a job. Who

:19:24. > :19:27.has been given those redundancy notices. They can either have a job

:19:28. > :19:32.at exactly the same level, somewhere else in the council, or they still

:19:33. > :19:36.have a job on the bins. So the posts have gone, but actually the actual

:19:37. > :19:40.employees are still there. Nobody is losing their job.

:19:41. > :19:42.Birmingham City Council is the largest local authority in Europe

:19:43. > :19:47.and it's under pressure to make savings. But the longer this strike

:19:48. > :19:55.goes on, the more expensive it gets for them and for those on strike.

:19:56. > :19:57.The Supreme Court in Kenya has overturned the result

:19:58. > :19:59.of the country's presidential election because of irregularities

:20:00. > :20:04.The ruling is being seen as a victory for the opposition

:20:05. > :20:11.leader and veteran politician Raila Odinga, who called

:20:12. > :20:13.this an historic day for the people of Africa.

:20:14. > :20:17.Let's talk to our correspondent Anne Soy in Nairobi.

:20:18. > :20:22.What happens now? Well, the Electoral Commission is back to the

:20:23. > :20:26.drawing board. They have to organise another election within 60 days,

:20:27. > :20:31.that's the amount of time provided by the constitution. But already the

:20:32. > :20:34.opposition says that it does not have faith in the current Commission

:20:35. > :20:38.and therefore it will be interesting to see what they demand next.

:20:39. > :20:49.Important to note that this Commission was put in place after

:20:50. > :20:52.weeks of protests, sometimes daily protests. The judges told to look at

:20:53. > :21:01.the entire electoral process, it's not just what happened on voting day

:21:29. > :21:30.Researchers found that irregular hours were to blame,

:21:31. > :21:33.with many working parents feeling at the mercy of employers.

:21:35. > :21:42.Kiera's just got back from work, and all her kids

:21:43. > :21:51.A precious few minutes before they are off to bed.

:21:55. > :21:56.She and her partner, from Hertfordshire,

:22:03. > :22:07.I can be at home with my children, enjoying my life with them.

:22:08. > :22:10.When instead, I'm planning it around trains, hoping and praying

:22:11. > :22:12.that my train isn't late or delayed or cancelled.

:22:13. > :22:14.And then you look at your bank balance and you think,

:22:15. > :22:24.Kiera's experience isn't unique, judging by today's survey,

:22:25. > :22:28.Nearly half of low-paid young parents are struggling

:22:29. > :22:37.42% felt penalised at work when they asked for flexibility.

:22:38. > :22:42.Some were given fewer hours, or even lost their jobs as a result.

:22:59. > :23:02.So, could and should employers do more?

:23:03. > :23:06.Employers can certainly do more to communicate the rights

:23:07. > :23:12.I think Government also has a role to play, to do more

:23:13. > :23:18.I think the broad issue around flexibility, in that quite

:23:21. > :23:22.For example, home-working quite often applies only to senior

:23:23. > :23:26.So employers really need to review their flexible working practices,

:23:27. > :23:30.be a bit more innovative about how they apply them.

:23:53. > :23:55.Last night, football's summer spending spree came to an end.

:23:56. > :23:59.The most expensive football transfer window ever closed,

:24:00. > :24:04.with Premier League clubs parting with an eyewatering ?1.4 billion.

:24:05. > :24:06.Our sports correspondent David Ornstein has been

:24:07. > :24:18.The culmination of a summer of unprecedented spending. Although

:24:19. > :24:23.transfer deadline day may largely be remembered for huge deals that

:24:24. > :24:31.didn't quite happen, there was still plenty of significant bits of

:24:32. > :24:34.business done. The most high profile look Alex Oxlade Chamberlain to

:24:35. > :24:40.Liverpool for ?35 million. The same figure was spent by Chelsea to sign

:24:41. > :24:45.Danny Drinkwater from the previous champions Leicester. Finally

:24:46. > :24:57.confirmed two-and-a-half hours after the 11pm deadline. It was a mixed

:24:58. > :25:04.night for Chelsea. They were beaten to the signing of Swansea's Fernando

:25:05. > :25:10.Llrrente. According to figures released by Deloitte, clubs spent

:25:11. > :25:14.?1. 4 billion on players this summer, including a record ?210

:25:15. > :25:18.million on deadline day alone. The transfer spending has grown well in

:25:19. > :25:23.line with revenues the clubs have at disposal. In any given year they

:25:24. > :25:28.spend between a fifth and a third of their revenue on transfers. Among

:25:29. > :25:32.those whose moves failed to materialise were Sanchez from

:25:33. > :25:36.Arsenal to Manchester City, and Ross Barkley from Everton to Chelsea. But

:25:37. > :25:39.fear not, they'll soon have another chance to resolve their futures

:25:40. > :25:46.because the transfer window reopens on 1st January.

:25:47. > :25:49.A man's been convicted of trying to rob the England

:25:50. > :25:50.and West Ham footballer, Andy Carroll.

:25:51. > :25:55.Basildon Crown Court heard that convicted burglar, Jack O'Brien,

:25:56. > :25:58.who's 22 and from Romford, pulled up alongside the striker

:26:06. > :26:07.Manager Gareth Southgate has confirmed Joe Hart

:26:08. > :26:14.Scotland and Northern Ireland are also playing this evening.

:26:15. > :26:16.Our sports correspondent Natalie Pirks is in

:26:17. > :26:32.Well it might be smaller than the Isle of Wight but 17,000 people will

:26:33. > :26:35.pack into the stadium tonight, it's a sellout, more than 3,000 are

:26:36. > :26:39.travelling England fans. It will feel louder for England such is

:26:40. > :26:44.their popularity here. One player who won't be playing for England

:26:45. > :26:47.tonight is Wayne Rooney. He announced hisser in retirement but

:26:48. > :26:51.is still making headlines. He was arrested near his Cheshire home last

:26:52. > :26:54.night for drink driving. He has been charged, released on bail and will

:26:55. > :26:58.appear in court later this month. More on that when we have it. Gareth

:26:59. > :27:03.Southgate made it clear last night he is in no rush to try to appoint a

:27:04. > :27:06.permanent replacement as captain for Wayne Rooney. He has tried five

:27:07. > :27:10.different players as captain in his time in charge. He wants to make it

:27:11. > :27:14.clear that he wants all players to step up, shoulder the responsibility

:27:15. > :27:17.of perhaps being captain and be leaders. If fans were hoping to see

:27:18. > :27:22.new faces tonight they might be disappointed. As you said, he has

:27:23. > :27:25.confirmed that Joe Hart will continue as England's goalkeeper. He

:27:26. > :27:29.feels he is the best player in that position despite conceding ten goals

:27:30. > :27:36.in his first three games for West Ham. Elsewhere in the group,

:27:37. > :27:41.Scotland are away to Lithuania in a must-win game. They have a chance or

:27:42. > :27:46.hope of making that play-off spot. Northern Ireland are looking to

:27:47. > :27:53.strengthen their hand in Group C with a win away against San Marino.

:27:54. > :27:56.Gareth Southgate started his England career with a 2-0 win over Malta. He

:27:57. > :27:59.is hoping that will continue but there will be strong questions

:28:00. > :28:03.coming his way. Now the humble vacuum cleaner

:28:04. > :28:05.is causing something of a stir. Sales of the noisiest and most

:28:06. > :28:08.powerful devices are, from today, Machines using more than 900 watts

:29:00. > :29:01.new European standards, Anti-EU campaigners say Europe

:29:02. > :29:08.should have no say in the sort But experts say households can

:29:22. > :29:24.have improved most of Already, the rules have contributed

:29:25. > :29:33.to a 17% drop in our use of energy. Our energy bills are ?290

:29:34. > :29:36.lower than they would be Now vacuum cleaners

:29:37. > :29:43.must play their part. People think that if it's a very

:29:44. > :29:47.high wattage than it's going to be a super-duper cleaner,

:29:48. > :29:49.but that's not necessarily the case. Manufacturers have known for a long

:29:50. > :29:52.time that this has been coming, so they will have been working very

:29:53. > :29:57.hard on design and technology to make sure that the new generation

:29:58. > :30:01.of vacuum cleaners will come up On the streets of Leeds,

:30:02. > :30:08.opinions are divided. I think it's required,

:30:09. > :30:13.anything that uses less I'll believe it when

:30:14. > :30:20.I see it, anyway. No, I think it'll be a good idea,

:30:21. > :30:23.you know, to make it... You know, if it's making it

:30:24. > :30:26.better for people, yeah. Before the Brexit referendum, the EU

:30:27. > :30:30.postponed new standards on toasters. The Government says it

:30:31. > :30:33.supports energy efficiency, but it won't say if EU rules

:30:34. > :30:54.will still apply after Brexit. Time for a look at the weather

:30:55. > :30:59.prospects. Nick Miller has joined me.

:31:00. > :31:03.Hi, you may have noticed a chill in the air this morning. The start of

:31:04. > :31:07.meet logical autumn. We have started to have problems with the pictures

:31:08. > :31:10.behind me, we will sort those out. This is one picture from one of our

:31:11. > :31:13.weather watchers showing plenty of sunshine. Yes, it's a chilly start

:31:14. > :31:17.but there has been some sunshine around there to compensate and here

:31:18. > :31:20.is a view from Pembrokeshire, as well. Glorious blue sky. We are

:31:21. > :31:24.seeing cloud building here and there. More especially across parts

:31:25. > :31:28.of Scotland, and Northern Ireland so far today. North-west England and

:31:29. > :31:33.Wales there have been a few showers. Some of these will fade. They'll

:31:34. > :31:37.remain isolated here. But we are watching south-east Scotland and

:31:38. > :31:40.across the Pennines, north-east England and down through the

:31:41. > :31:44.Midlands for maybe a few heavier ones to get going this afternoon.

:31:45. > :31:47.But the most of us across southern England, Wales into the Midlands

:31:48. > :31:50.will continue with good sunny spells. It feels pleasantly warm in

:31:51. > :31:55.some sunshine with light winds. Eastern parts of England, could be

:31:56. > :31:59.the odd heavy and maybe thundery shower. North-west England, after a

:32:00. > :32:03.dull start it may stay cloudy in Northern Ireland, mainly dry across

:32:04. > :32:07.Scotland. A chance of a shower in the south-east. I have talked about

:32:08. > :32:11.showers, but please most places are going to be dry with sunny spells

:32:12. > :32:14.around. If you get a shower in eastern England it could linger into

:32:15. > :32:18.the night for some but elsewhere it will be dry and clear and chilly

:32:19. > :32:24.again overnight. These are town city centre temperatures. You don't have

:32:25. > :32:29.to go too far away to get something lower than this. Single figures in

:32:30. > :32:33.places and some places flirting with freezing into Saturday morning. This

:32:34. > :32:36.takes us on to the weekend. For Saturday, although it will be chilly

:32:37. > :32:41.again to begin the day, good sunny spells coming through. A bit of

:32:42. > :32:43.cloud building here and there. Odd light showers especially into

:32:44. > :32:47.eastern England but the vast majority will have a fine dry start

:32:48. > :32:52.to the weekend, although you will later notice the breeze picking up

:32:53. > :32:57.in Northern Ireland and temperatures fairly similar. No excessive heat

:32:58. > :33:00.but in the sunshine it will feel pleasant. The later you are going

:33:01. > :33:05.out on Saturday night in Northern Ireland, you might see rain coming

:33:06. > :33:11.in, things are changing from the west. Weather fronts are moving in,

:33:12. > :33:17.but it's a slow process, the wind picking up. So a wet start to

:33:18. > :33:19.Sunday, Northern Ireland, the rain pushing into Wales, south-west

:33:20. > :33:23.England. Gales through the Irish sea. Rain moving into western

:33:24. > :33:26.Scotland too. Some eastern Scotland, eastern England, although it clouds

:33:27. > :33:33.over and the breeze picks up, will stay dry during the day. It's a

:33:34. > :33:39.weekend of two halves. An east-west split on Sunday. There is a forecast

:33:40. > :33:43.for where you are or where you will be this weekend online.
