G4S suspends nine members of staff, after complaints about conduct

:00:00.:00:08.

at an immigration removal centre at Gatwick Airport.

:00:09.:00:13.

The private security firm responds to undercover filming

:00:14.:00:15.

It says there is no place in its company for poor behaviour.

:00:16.:00:22.

I'm absolutely disgusted by the alleged behaviour.

:00:23.:00:26.

It is totally unacceptable to me, to the organisation,

:00:27.:00:28.

to anyone else who would work in this kind of vocation.

:00:29.:00:35.

The company says it's begun an investigation -

:00:36.:00:37.

Britain's Trade Secretary warns that the UK won't be blackmailed

:00:38.:00:43.

into paying a high price to leave the EU.

:00:44.:00:47.

It's clear that businesses, not just in Europe but investors

:00:48.:00:49.

in places like here in Japan, are getting impatient

:00:50.:00:52.

and want to see what that final shape of that arrangement's

:00:53.:00:56.

President Trump is to ask Congress for ?4.5 billion to help people

:00:57.:01:03.

The Birmingham bin strike is back on - some workers have

:01:04.:01:10.

received redundancy notices, and there are fears the rubbish

:01:11.:01:12.

At last, the lady can make light of the house work.

:01:13.:01:27.

And, customers are told to "suck it up", as the EU bans vacuum cleaners

:01:28.:01:30.

Gordon Strachan says it's not a must-win,

:01:31.:01:35.

but that's still how his Scotland side will approach tonight's crucial

:01:36.:01:37.

Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.

:01:38.:02:02.

The private security company G4S has suspended nine employees,

:02:03.:02:05.

following claims of abuse and assaults on detainees

:02:06.:02:09.

An undercover investigation by the BBC's Panorama programme

:02:10.:02:14.

appears to show staff mocking, abusing and threatening violence

:02:15.:02:19.

against detainees at Brook House, near Gatwick Airport.

:02:20.:02:22.

G4S says there is "no place for the type of conduct described

:02:23.:02:25.

in the allegations", and that it has immediately

:02:26.:02:29.

Our social affairs correspondent Alison Holt has the details.

:02:30.:02:36.

Just metres from the runway at Gatwick Airport is Brook House,

:02:37.:02:39.

an immigration removal centre run by the global security firm G4S.

:02:40.:02:44.

Here, foreign national prisoners facing deportation at the end

:02:45.:02:47.

of their sentence are detained alongside asylum seekers,

:02:48.:02:50.

illegal migrants and those who have overstayed their visas.

:02:51.:02:55.

A secret world of drugs, violence and abuse...

:02:56.:03:02.

Undercover filming as part of a Panorama investigation to be

:03:03.:03:04.

broadcast this Monday alleges that some staff at Brook House, mock,

:03:05.:03:07.

It exposes a place awash with drugs, with self-harm commonplace

:03:08.:03:12.

The company says it's waiting to see the footage but has suspended nine

:03:13.:03:21.

My initial reaction is absolutely disgusted by the alleged behaviour.

:03:22.:03:28.

It's totally unacceptable to me, to the organisation,

:03:29.:03:31.

to anyone else who would work in this kind of vocation.

:03:32.:03:36.

It is the Home Office that decides who is detained

:03:37.:03:39.

at centres like Brook House, whilst their immigration

:03:40.:03:41.

It says in a statement: We condemn any action that is put the safety

:03:42.:03:48.

or dignity of immigration removal centre detainees at risk.

:03:49.:03:53.

It also says that G4S needs to ensure there is a thorough

:03:54.:03:56.

investigation into the allegations at the centre and that it

:03:57.:03:58.

What sort of issues are likely to be thrown up by this investigation? We

:03:59.:04:17.

are going to know the detailed allegations on Monday, when the

:04:18.:04:20.

programme is broadcast, and that is bound to raise issues about the

:04:21.:04:24.

culture within a place such as Brook House. But there are wider, broader

:04:25.:04:29.

issues around immigration detention, for instance, in Brook House, as

:04:30.:04:33.

with other detention sentence, they have a mix of ex-offenders who are

:04:34.:04:38.

being difficult -- deported from the country, along with asylum seekers,

:04:39.:04:41.

others who may not have had experience of a prison type

:04:42.:04:47.

environment before. The description of life inside Brook House is of it

:04:48.:04:52.

being a toxic mix. So there are questions around that. But places

:04:53.:04:56.

like this were built to house people for 72 hours before they were

:04:57.:05:00.

removed for the country -- from the country. Across the board we are

:05:01.:05:04.

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

:05:05.:05:08.

48 days is the average we are told by inspectors. Some people have been

:05:09.:05:13.

there for more than two years. That in itself raises issues about the

:05:14.:05:16.

efficiency of the system and the impact that Ben has on at times

:05:17.:05:21.

vulnerable individuals. Alison Holt, thank you.

:05:22.:05:23.

And you can see the Panorama documentary Undercover -

:05:24.:05:25.

Britain's Immigration Secrets, on Monday evening on BBC One at 9pm.

:05:26.:05:32.

The International Trade Secretary Liam Fox has accused

:05:33.:05:34.

the European Union of trying to blackmail Britain into accepting

:05:35.:05:37.

The EU insists issues arising from the UK's withdrawal must be

:05:38.:05:42.

dealt with before any talks can begin about future trade relations.

:05:43.:05:46.

Our political correspondent Iain Watson reports.

:05:47.:05:58.

Liam Fox exchanging a memorandum of understanding with Japan on trade,

:05:59.:06:04.

but he isn't as delighted with the EU Commission. He accused them of

:06:05.:06:08.

trying to exact a price for moving on from the first stage of Brexit

:06:09.:06:11.

negotiations. We can't be blackmailed into paying a price on

:06:12.:06:16.

the first part. We think that we should begin discussions on the

:06:17.:06:19.

final settlement, because that's good for business. At issue is the

:06:20.:06:23.

divorce bill for leaving the EU. But Hitachi press conference in Brussels

:06:24.:06:29.

yesterday, the European Commission's chief

:06:30.:06:39.

negotiator argued that wider trade talks could begin only after Britain

:06:40.:06:43.

gave an indication of how much it was willing to pay. Liam Fox told

:06:44.:06:46.

the BBC that businesses were getting frustrated. What we need to do is to

:06:47.:06:49.

begin in parallel talk about what the final solution to the trading

:06:50.:06:51.

relationship is going to look like and it's very clear that businesses,

:06:52.:06:54.

not just in Europe, but investors in places like here in Japan, are

:06:55.:06:56.

getting impatient. Liam Fox gave a series of broadcast interviews in

:06:57.:07:01.

Japan but only made the accusation of EU blackmail once. That suggests

:07:02.:07:05.

it wasn't a pre-scripted attack. Nonetheless it could be a sign of

:07:06.:07:10.

frustration that the government was Mac strategy, to put more pressure

:07:11.:07:13.

on the European Commission to deliver trade talks this autumn, so

:07:14.:07:17.

far hasn't succeeded. And some in Brussels are blaming Britain for any

:07:18.:07:21.

delay. I'd like to remind Mr Fox that the referendum happened in June

:07:22.:07:25.

20 16. It took nine months for the British government to trickle

:07:26.:07:31.

Article 50, so nine months to shape its positions and now it's been six

:07:32.:07:34.

months and we've yet to make any serious progress. And some

:07:35.:07:38.

opposition politicians here are claimed -- claiming that Liam Fox's

:07:39.:07:42.

talk of blackmail will simply make matters worse. His language is

:07:43.:07:48.

intensely unhelpful. This is sabre rattling from the trade secretary

:07:49.:07:51.

who is twiddling his thumbs, because he cannot do anything until the

:07:52.:07:56.

trade position of the UK has been resolved with the EU. There's been a

:07:57.:08:00.

lot of talk about what businesses want from Brexit. Well, they say

:08:01.:08:05.

less of a slanging match and more substance, please. This is politics

:08:06.:08:09.

so there will always be a bit of bluster and gameplaying by both

:08:10.:08:12.

sides. I think businesses would like to see both sides maybe tone it down

:08:13.:08:16.

a little bit and get back to focusing on those issues which

:08:17.:08:20.

matter so much to both sides. This week the government

:08:21.:08:32.

focused on its trading relationship with Japan. But it's our future

:08:33.:08:36.

trade link across the channel that is proving harder to negotiate. Iain

:08:37.:08:37.

Watson, BBC News. Our correspondent Gary O'Donoghue

:08:38.:08:39.

is in Washington. In the next few minutes you will

:08:40.:08:48.

listen to a speech from David Davis? Hotfooting after the bruising

:08:49.:08:51.

encounter with Michel Barnier, David Davis will think he's more among

:08:52.:08:56.

friends. He's promised a speech that is optimistic, that sets out what he

:08:57.:09:00.

sees as a potential deepening of the relationship between Britain and the

:09:01.:09:04.

United States post-Brexit. It's worth remembering that the amount of

:09:05.:09:08.

foreign investment in Britain, from America and vice versa, really

:09:09.:09:11.

dwarfs that from most other countries, most other individual

:09:12.:09:15.

countries. So there's quite a lot at stake. Donald Trump said in the last

:09:16.:09:19.

few weeks that there are discussions ongoing, when he was asked that

:09:20.:09:22.

directly. He says there would be a major deal with Britain after

:09:23.:09:27.

Brexit, but it's worth noting that at the moment what actually is

:09:28.:09:30.

occupying the American government is discussions over the north of North

:09:31.:09:35.

American Free Trade Agreement, Nafta, renegotiating that, and big

:09:36.:09:39.

rows with China on trade. Whether Britain will get as good looking

:09:40.:09:43.

quite so soon I think is up for debate. Gary O'Donoghue, thank you,

:09:44.:09:47.

in Washington. Chris Morris from BBC

:09:48.:09:48.

Reality Check has been looking at where the negotiations go

:09:49.:09:51.

from here, at the end There's a lot of frustration about

:09:52.:10:03.

because the UK Cosmo mail -- main goal in the Brexit negotiations is

:10:04.:10:06.

to move on as quickly as possible from talking about past obligations

:10:07.:10:08.

to talking about a future partnership with the EU. But there's

:10:09.:10:12.

a long road ahead and it's going to get bumpy. The EU's chief negotiator

:10:13.:10:17.

Michel Barnier said yesterday there had been no decisive progress on any

:10:18.:10:20.

of the main issues. In other words, for

:10:21.:10:23.

the moment, it's no go. So a quick reminder about the issues

:10:24.:10:25.

on which the EU says progress has to be made before it will talk more

:10:26.:10:29.

about the futur First, the status of EU citizens in the UK

:10:30.:10:32.

and UK citizens elsewhere in Europe. There was some progress this week -

:10:33.:10:35.

confirmation that after Brexit these citizens will still be able

:10:36.:10:38.

to use their EHIC There's no agreement on that,

:10:39.:10:40.

though, for the rest of us. And here's the overall sticking

:10:41.:10:44.

point - who would have legal authority over any deal

:10:45.:10:46.

on citizens' rights. The UK says that's not

:10:47.:10:48.

acceptable after Brexit. The second major focus

:10:49.:10:54.

at the moment is the border between Northern Ireland

:10:55.:10:56.

and the Irish Republic. The UK says it wants to maintain

:10:57.:10:58.

an "invisible border" after Brexit, with no physical infrastructure,

:10:59.:11:01.

and there were, we're told, "good But while the EU understands

:11:02.:11:04.

the sensitivities on the border, it says frictionless trade

:11:05.:11:10.

is impossible once the UK leaves the single market

:11:11.:11:12.

and the customs union. The toughest issue of all, money.

:11:13.:11:25.

What are the UK's financial obligations to the EU when it

:11:26.:11:29.

leaves. The EU could be looking for a net amount after some money comes

:11:30.:11:33.

back to the UK of as much as 60 billion euros is, that is based

:11:34.:11:36.

largely on commitments the UK has already made. But the UK questioned

:11:37.:11:40.

the legal basis of these calculations and it went through

:11:41.:11:43.

them line by line this week. It is not prepared to pay nearly as much.

:11:44.:11:49.

So to get to whether UK wants to be, talking about this future trade

:11:50.:11:53.

relationship, a lot of progress will have to be made in the next few

:11:54.:11:56.

weeks before the leaders of the other 27 EU countries meet for a

:11:57.:12:00.

summit in Brussels. That will take place on the 19th and 20th of

:12:01.:12:04.

October, when they'll make a decision one way or another. If they

:12:05.:12:08.

don't think sufficient progress is being made, they won't meet again

:12:09.:12:11.

until just before Christmas. That would make substantive talks on

:12:12.:12:15.

trade not beginning until well into the New Year come with time ticking

:12:16.:12:17.

away. Chris Morris, thank you. President Trump is expected to ask

:12:18.:12:21.

Congress for the equivalent of ?4.5 billion, to help people

:12:22.:12:23.

affected by Storm Harvey in Texas. The total cost of repairing

:12:24.:12:27.

the damage, and compensating residents whose homes have been

:12:28.:12:30.

flooded, is estimated In Houston, Texas, and beyond,

:12:31.:12:32.

there is little sign After more than four feet of rain

:12:33.:12:42.

in less than a week, it could be days before the water

:12:43.:12:51.

levels fully recede. Thousands of people have now been

:12:52.:12:54.

rescued from their homes, grabbing what they can carry

:12:55.:12:57.

and getting out. Overnight, the storm moved

:13:02.:13:09.

and I was walking, and I stepped down, and something just

:13:10.:13:17.

swept me up under. My head was hit, I seen

:13:18.:13:20.

light up under there, and I came out and I tried to grab

:13:21.:13:23.

a tree, and it's And I grabbed onto another tree,

:13:24.:13:26.

and I asked the Lord to help me, and I just started pulling myself up

:13:27.:13:31.

out of there. The Vice-President, Mike Pence,

:13:32.:13:34.

flew into Texas to see This is a key moment

:13:35.:13:36.

for the embattled and historically We are here today, we will be

here tomorrow, and we will be here every day, until this city

:13:44.:13:56.

and this state and this region rebuild bigger

:13:57.:14:00.

and better than ever before. But this level of devastation

:14:01.:14:09.

is going to take vast Later today, the White House

:14:10.:14:12.

is expected to ask Congress for an initial $5.9 billion

:14:13.:14:17.

in emergency funding. But the authorities in Texas alone

:14:18.:14:22.

say the state might eventually need People here are

:14:23.:14:25.

vulnerable and in need. Recovery and rebuilding is going

:14:26.:14:33.

to take months, if not years. Aid agencies are describing flooding

:14:34.:14:38.

across South Asia as one of the worst regional crises

:14:39.:14:47.

in recent years. More than 1200 people have died

:14:48.:14:49.

in India, Bangladesh and Nepal, Many people are sleeping on

:14:50.:14:53.

roadsides and in makeshift shelters. The only traffic now,

:14:54.:14:59.

makeshift canoes and boats. It almost disappears

:15:00.:15:07.

under the waters. Across Bangladesh, almost a third

:15:08.:15:12.

of the country has been affected. Heavy monsoon rains making this

:15:13.:15:17.

the worst flooding in decades. The whole region has been hit,

:15:18.:15:22.

with more than 1200 dead, and more than 40 million forced

:15:23.:15:26.

to leave their homes, affecting India, Nepal,

:15:27.:15:30.

Bangladesh, and now Pakistan. The level of devastation

:15:31.:15:36.

is horrible and it's massive. Millions of children have been

:15:37.:15:40.

affected, and as we know, throughout the region there's

:15:41.:15:45.

40 million people overall, So right now the rains have subsided

and people are starting In Mumbai, on India's west coast,

Sebastian Vettel. The long-running strike affecting

:17:09.:17:19.

bin collections in Birmingham has resumed this morning

:17:20.:17:22.

after redundancy notices The industrial action was suspended

:17:23.:17:24.

last month after seven weeks, during which time rubbish piled up

:17:25.:17:29.

on many of the city's streets. Our Midlands correspondent

:17:30.:17:32.

Sima Kotecha reports. It looks bad and it

:17:33.:17:35.

smells even worse. A bin strike that's been

:17:36.:17:40.

going on for weeks and people I mean, there's bags

:17:41.:17:42.

dumped everywhere. Bags which have opened up and just

:17:43.:17:52.

scattered all across the road and we have to walk through it

:17:53.:17:55.

every single day. They need to sort something

:17:56.:17:58.

out between themselves That smell, it's so awful that

:17:59.:18:05.

you would rather do this The council and the refuse workers

:18:06.:18:11.

are arguing about shift patterns, This strike started

:18:12.:18:15.

at the end of June. The council claims that it's been

:18:16.:18:20.

costing them around ?40,000 per day to hire agency staff to clean up

:18:21.:18:23.

all this rubbish. Then the industrial action

:18:24.:18:26.

was suspended in the middle of August as the two sides held

:18:27.:18:32.

talks to figure out what to do next. Then at 7.30am this morning

:18:33.:18:39.

the strike was back on. And that's because the council

:18:40.:18:42.

confirmed last night it The Unite union says they won't let

:18:43.:18:44.

that happen and will carry on striking for three

:18:45.:18:48.

hours every day. Paid officers of the council want

:18:49.:18:49.

to make cuts and they want to damage trade unionism within the council

:18:50.:19:01.

and they've taken a decision to sabotage an honourable settlement

:19:02.:19:03.

that was reached at Acas to do so. The row's got worse because the

:19:04.:19:09.

council's leader had said in principle there would be no

:19:10.:19:12.

redundancies but he's come under pressure from his Cabinet to change

:19:13.:19:16.

his stance because some of them say no job losses are unaffordable.

:19:17.:19:20.

Redundancy notices have been issued but everyone still has a job. Who

:19:21.:19:23.

has been given those redundancy notices. They can either have a job

:19:24.:19:27.

at exactly the same level, somewhere else in the council, or they still

:19:28.:19:32.

have a job on the bins. So the posts have gone, but actually the actual

:19:33.:19:36.

employees are still there. Nobody is losing their job.

:19:37.:19:40.

Birmingham City Council is the largest local authority in Europe

:19:41.:19:42.

and it's under pressure to make savings. But the longer this strike

:19:43.:19:47.

goes on, the more expensive it gets for them and for those on strike.

:19:48.:19:55.

The Supreme Court in Kenya has overturned the result

:19:56.:19:57.

of the country's presidential election because of irregularities

:19:58.:19:59.

The ruling is being seen as a victory for the opposition

:20:00.:20:04.

leader and veteran politician Raila Odinga, who called

:20:05.:20:11.

this an historic day for the people of Africa.

:20:12.:20:13.

Let's talk to our correspondent Anne Soy in Nairobi.

:20:14.:20:17.

What happens now? Well, the Electoral Commission is back to the

:20:18.:20:22.

drawing board. They have to organise another election within 60 days,

:20:23.:20:26.

that's the amount of time provided by the constitution. But already the

:20:27.:20:31.

opposition says that it does not have faith in the current Commission

:20:32.:20:34.

and therefore it will be interesting to see what they demand next.

:20:35.:20:38.

Important to note that this Commission was put in place after

:20:39.:20:49.

weeks of protests, sometimes daily protests. The judges told to look at

:20:50.:20:52.

the entire electoral process, it's not just what happened on voting day

:20:53.:21:01.

and the count. They concluded the Electoral Commission did not follow

:21:02.:21:06.

the law in conducting the election from the voter registration

:21:07.:21:09.

throughout for the voting. So it is a very interesting precedent that's

:21:10.:21:13.

been set and a very high threshold they have set for the conduct of

:21:14.:21:16.

elections. Thank you very much.

Nearly half of young, low paid parents are struggling

:21:23.:21:25.

to juggle childcare with work, according to a survey for the TUC.

:21:26.:21:28.

Researchers found that irregular hours were to blame,

:21:29.:21:30.

with many working parents feeling at the mercy of employers.

:21:31.:21:33.

Our business correspondent Emma Simpson reports.

:21:34.:21:34.

Kiera's just got back from work, and all her kids

:21:35.:21:42.

A precious few minutes before they are off to bed.

:21:43.:21:51.

Kiera is self-employed and works in IT.

:21:52.:21:54.

She and her partner, from Hertfordshire,

:21:55.:21:56.

earn between them less than ?28,000 per year.

:21:57.:21:58.

Juggling childcare and work is a daily battle.

:21:59.:22:02.

I can be at home with my children, enjoying my life with them.

:22:03.:22:07.

When instead, I'm planning it around trains, hoping and praying

:22:08.:22:10.

that my train isn't late or delayed or cancelled.

:22:11.:22:12.

And then you look at your bank balance and you think,

:22:13.:22:14.

Kiera's experience isn't unique, judging by today's survey,

:22:15.:22:24.

Nearly half of low-paid young parents are struggling

:22:25.:22:28.

42% felt penalised at work when they asked for flexibility.

:22:29.:22:37.

Some were given fewer hours, or even lost their jobs as a result.

:22:38.:22:42.

Nearly a third had resorted to taking annual leave

:22:43.:22:45.

Achieving a good work-life balance can be hard for any parent.

:22:46.:22:50.

This survey highlights just how difficult it is for families

:22:51.:22:54.

on lower incomes, many of whom don't even know what their

:22:55.:22:58.

So, could and should employers do more?

:22:59.:23:02.

Employers can certainly do more to communicate the rights

:23:03.:23:06.

I think Government also has a role to play, to do more

:23:07.:23:12.

I think the broad issue around flexibility, in that quite

:23:13.:23:18.

a lot of flexibility can be quite exclusive.

:23:19.:23:20.

For example, home-working quite often applies only to senior

:23:21.:23:22.

So employers really need to review their flexible working practices,

:23:23.:23:26.

be a bit more innovative about how they apply them.

:23:27.:23:30.

Kiera's shift pattern is regular, although she is still often working

:23:31.:23:35.

The TUC wants everyone at work to get the same parental

Last night, football's summer spending spree came to an end.

:23:53.:23:55.

The most expensive football transfer window ever closed,

:23:56.:23:59.

with Premier League clubs parting with an eyewatering ?1.4 billion.

:24:00.:24:04.

Our sports correspondent David Ornstein has been

:24:05.:24:06.

The culmination of a summer of unprecedented spending. Although

:24:07.:24:18.

transfer deadline day may largely be remembered for huge deals that

:24:19.:24:23.

didn't quite happen, there was still plenty of significant bits of

:24:24.:24:31.

business done. The most high profile look Alex Oxlade Chamberlain to

:24:32.:24:34.

Liverpool for ?35 million. The same figure was spent by Chelsea to sign

:24:35.:24:40.

Danny Drinkwater from the previous champions Leicester. Finally

:24:41.:24:45.

confirmed two-and-a-half hours after the 11pm deadline. It was a mixed

:24:46.:24:57.

night for Chelsea. They were beaten to the signing of Swansea's Fernando

:24:58.:25:04.

Llrrente. According to figures released by Deloitte, clubs spent

:25:05.:25:10.

?1. 4 billion on players this summer, including a record ?210

:25:11.:25:14.

million on deadline day alone. The transfer spending has grown well in

:25:15.:25:18.

line with revenues the clubs have at disposal. In any given year they

:25:19.:25:23.

spend between a fifth and a third of their revenue on transfers. Among

:25:24.:25:28.

those whose moves failed to materialise were Sanchez from

:25:29.:25:32.

Arsenal to Manchester City, and Ross Barkley from Everton to Chelsea. But

:25:33.:25:36.

fear not, they'll soon have another chance to resolve their futures

:25:37.:25:39.

because the transfer window reopens on 1st January.

:25:40.:25:46.

A man's been convicted of trying to rob the England

:25:47.:25:49.

and West Ham footballer, Andy Carroll.

:25:50.:25:50.

Basildon Crown Court heard that convicted burglar, Jack O'Brien,

:25:51.:25:55.

who's 22 and from Romford, pulled up alongside the striker

:25:56.:25:58.

as he drove home from training, and demanded he hand

England's men are in World Cup qualifying action

:26:01.:26:05.

Manager Gareth Southgate has confirmed Joe Hart

:26:06.:26:07.

Scotland and Northern Ireland are also playing this evening.

:26:08.:26:14.

Our sports correspondent Natalie Pirks is in

:26:15.:26:16.

Well it might be smaller than the Isle of Wight but 17,000 people will

:26:17.:26:32.

pack into the stadium tonight, it's a sellout, more than 3,000 are

:26:33.:26:35.

travelling England fans. It will feel louder for England such is

:26:36.:26:39.

their popularity here. One player who won't be playing for England

:26:40.:26:44.

tonight is Wayne Rooney. He announced hisser in retirement but

:26:45.:26:47.

is still making headlines. He was arrested near his Cheshire home last

:26:48.:26:51.

night for drink driving. He has been charged, released on bail and will

:26:52.:26:54.

appear in court later this month. More on that when we have it. Gareth

:26:55.:26:58.

Southgate made it clear last night he is in no rush to try to appoint a

:26:59.:27:03.

permanent replacement as captain for Wayne Rooney. He has tried five

:27:04.:27:06.

different players as captain in his time in charge. He wants to make it

:27:07.:27:10.

clear that he wants all players to step up, shoulder the responsibility

:27:11.:27:14.

of perhaps being captain and be leaders. If fans were hoping to see

:27:15.:27:17.

new faces tonight they might be disappointed. As you said, he has

:27:18.:27:22.

confirmed that Joe Hart will continue as England's goalkeeper. He

:27:23.:27:25.

feels he is the best player in that position despite conceding ten goals

:27:26.:27:29.

in his first three games for West Ham. Elsewhere in the group,

:27:30.:27:36.

Scotland are away to Lithuania in a must-win game. They have a chance or

:27:37.:27:41.

hope of making that play-off spot. Northern Ireland are looking to

:27:42.:27:46.

strengthen their hand in Group C with a win away against San Marino.

:27:47.:27:53.

Gareth Southgate started his England career with a 2-0 win over Malta. He

:27:54.:27:56.

is hoping that will continue but there will be strong questions

:27:57.:27:59.

coming his way. Now the humble vacuum cleaner

:28:00.:28:03.

is causing something of a stir. Sales of the noisiest and most

:28:04.:28:05.

powerful devices are, from today, Machines using more than 900 watts

high wattage than it's going to be a super-duper cleaner,

:29:44.:29:47.

but that's not necessarily the case. Manufacturers have known for a long

:29:48.:29:49.

time that this has been coming, so they will have been working very

:29:50.:29:52.

hard on design and technology to make sure that the new generation

postponed new standards on toasters. The Government says it

:30:27.:30:30.

supports energy efficiency, but it won't say if EU rules

:30:31.:30:33.

will still apply after Brexit. Time for a look at the weather

:30:34.:30:54.

prospects. Nick Miller has joined me.

:30:55.:30:59.

Hi, you may have noticed a chill in the air this morning. The start of

:31:00.:31:03.

meet logical autumn. We have started to have problems with the pictures

:31:04.:31:07.

behind me, we will sort those out. This is one picture from one of our

:31:08.:31:10.

weather watchers showing plenty of sunshine. Yes, it's a chilly start

:31:11.:31:13.

but there has been some sunshine around there to compensate and here

:31:14.:31:17.

is a view from Pembrokeshire, as well. Glorious blue sky. We are

:31:18.:31:20.

seeing cloud building here and there. More especially across parts

:31:21.:31:24.

of Scotland, and Northern Ireland so far today. North-west England and

:31:25.:31:28.

Wales there have been a few showers. Some of these will fade. They'll

:31:29.:31:33.

remain isolated here. But we are watching south-east Scotland and

:31:34.:31:37.

across the Pennines, north-east England and down through the

:31:38.:31:40.

Midlands for maybe a few heavier ones to get going this afternoon.

:31:41.:31:44.

But the most of us across southern England, Wales into the Midlands

:31:45.:31:47.

will continue with good sunny spells. It feels pleasantly warm in

:31:48.:31:50.

some sunshine with light winds. Eastern parts of England, could be

:31:51.:31:55.

the odd heavy and maybe thundery shower. North-west England, after a

:31:56.:31:59.

dull start it may stay cloudy in Northern Ireland, mainly dry across

:32:00.:32:03.

Scotland. A chance of a shower in the south-east. I have talked about

:32:04.:32:07.

showers, but please most places are going to be dry with sunny spells

:32:08.:32:11.

around. If you get a shower in eastern England it could linger into

:32:12.:32:14.

the night for some but elsewhere it will be dry and clear and chilly

:32:15.:32:18.

again overnight. These are town city centre temperatures. You don't have

:32:19.:32:24.

to go too far away to get something lower than this. Single figures in

:32:25.:32:29.

places and some places flirting with freezing into Saturday morning. This

:32:30.:32:33.

takes us on to the weekend. For Saturday, although it will be chilly

:32:34.:32:36.

again to begin the day, good sunny spells coming through. A bit of

:32:37.:32:41.

cloud building here and there. Odd light showers especially into

:32:42.:32:43.

eastern England but the vast majority will have a fine dry start

:32:44.:32:47.

to the weekend, although you will later notice the breeze picking up

:32:48.:32:52.

in Northern Ireland and temperatures fairly similar. No excessive heat

:32:53.:32:57.

but in the sunshine it will feel pleasant. The later you are going

:32:58.:33:00.

out on Saturday night in Northern Ireland, you might see rain coming

:33:01.:33:05.

in, things are changing from the west. Weather fronts are moving in,

:33:06.:33:11.

but it's a slow process, the wind picking up. So a wet start to

:33:12.:33:17.

Sunday, Northern Ireland, the rain pushing into Wales, south-west

:33:18.:33:19.

England. Gales through the Irish sea. Rain moving into western

:33:20.:33:23.

Scotland too. Some eastern Scotland, eastern England, although it clouds

:33:24.:33:26.

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

:33:27.:33:33.

weekend of two halves. An east-west split on Sunday. There is a forecast

:33:34.:33:39.

for where you are or where you will be this weekend online.
