Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

A drastic plan to curb the number of EU migrants living

A leaked Home Office document says the free movement of people will be

banned after Brexit, but the government says nothing's

Good morning, it's Wednesday the 6th of September.

Hurricane Irma, one of the most powerful Atlantic

storms ever recorded, has begun lashing islands

Good morning. As part of our Coastal series I'm at Grimsby Fish market at

one of the world's busiest ports looking at how the industry has

changed for the UK and what Brexit will mean for its workers.

Wales manager Chris Coleman says bring it on after a late

victory over Moldova in their World Cup qualifier.

Two more wins and they should be in Russia next year.

What a goal! What a goal! Radford has scored. Ronnie Radford Odd Box.

After 10 World Cups and more than 200 England games,

the legendary commentator John Motson is hanging

up his sheepskin coat and calling time on his 50-year career

We've got an interview with him later.

Hurricane Irma continues to produce dangerous winds and heavy rain and a

storm surge. I'll update you on the latest in a few minutes and a full

UK forecast through the programme. Thanks very much, see you later in

the programme. A leaked Home Office document has

set out plans for how the UK immigration system

could work after Brexit. by the Guardian newspaper,

considers how the Government could dramatically reduce the number

number of low-skilled EU migrants. It also proposes time limits on how

long EU nationals could stay Let's get more from our political

correspondent Iain Watson Ian, tell us, what more can you tell

us about the document, what does it say? It's an 82 page document so not

much in the time available but I'll do my best, you will notice it says

official, sensitive and it certainly is a sensitive topic. There's

caveats from the government, it hasn't been signed off by ministers

and the contents will be subject to negotiation with the EU but it gives

us the clearest indication of thinking about the immigration

system inside the Home Office and in essence the document says there will

be a three stage approach taken to immigration, people already here

from the EU can apply for settled status with more less the same

rights as British citizens and then there will be a transition period of

at least two years where people can come here relatively freely to live

and work but if they want to work for any length of time they will

have to register and then beyond that there will be a new immigration

system and that system would put restrictions on low skilled

migrants, people here only very temporarily, if you have higher

skills you might get leave to stay in Britain for between three and

five years but only if you've been here for five years would you then

have the right to settle permanently so a much more restrictive system

than at the moment. There will be new restrictions including family

members during that phase as well. Thanks are much. We will be talking

about in through the morning. We will be speaking to

Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon just after 7:30am about

the government's plans post-Brexit. Islands in the Caribbean are making

last-minute preparations for Hurricane Irma, one of the most

powerful Atlantic storms on record, with officials warning of its

potentially catastrophic effects. It's already lashing the British

territory of Anguilla where residents say the powerful

waves and high winds have been Our correspondent Sarah

Corker has the latest. This is the eye of the storm from

space. Dramatic images from Nasa capture the sheer scale and

magnitude of hurricane earner. The category five storm is on a

collision course with several Caribbean islands. Popular holiday

destinations like Antigua and Saint Martin are preparing for

life-threatening winds and torrential rains. Storm surges of up

to 12 feet are forecast and overnight some islands have started

to flood. Hurricane Irma's path may change but at the moment it looks

set to head towards the British Berlin islands, Puerto Rico, Cuba

and by the weekend, the Florida keys. In Miami they are stocking up

on sandbags and preparing for the worst. The storm surge is massive

and the storm surge predicted will go for miles and miles. Why now it

is travelling at 15 mph and it is tracked to move south of the Florida

Keys on a westerly path with a slight north turn -- right now. It's

incredibly important that all Florida Jens keep a close eye on

this incredibly dangerous storm. Do not sit and wait and prepare, get

prepared now. This monster hurricane comes on the heels of Harvey, which

struck Texas and Louisiana last month. Irma is forecast to be even

more dangerous. Now millions of people across the Caribbean are

bracing themselves for one of the most powerful hurricanes ever

recorded in the Atlantic basin. Sarah Corker, BBC News.

Let's get the latest now from Sarah, who's been tracking the storm

Sarah, what more can you tell us? This is a really powerful storm

moving through the Caribbean and potentially towards Florida as well.

That's right, Dan. I'll show you the satellite image, it's a huge

hurricane. You can see that really well-defined I. That's an indication

of the strength of the storm, it has really been strengthening over the

past 24 hour is, reaching category five status and it's rare we CA a

category five hurricane. -- 24 hours. Exceptionally strong winds --

we see a category five. We have seen gusts in excess of 200 mph and winds

of 185 mph. Dangerous conditions. It's not just the wind, it will be

the exceptionally heavy rainfall as well as the storm surge. As it

passes its way close to the Virgin Isles and then towards this spaniel,

over the next 24 hours, before then heading to Cuba and then Florida.

Dangerous conditions, the storm is exceptionally strong. We will keep

you posted on the forecast through the morning. More on that and the UK

weather through the morning. And we'll be speaking to some

holiday makers and residents who are making preparations

for the worst of the storm Just half of dentists in England

are accepting new NHS patients, The British Dental

Association said the figure was a disgrace and evidence

of an emerging crisis But the NHS says 95% of patients do

manage to get an appointment. This is a familiar sight for Fozia,

who has been fined rash trying to find an NHS dentist in Bradford. I

was devastated there wasn't anyone locally. She needs a local NHS

dentist for her sun, who has an overcrowded mouth and a mineral

deficiency with this teeth. I tried going through the LO pages and using

the Internet and then I used the 101 where they find you the nearest NHS

dentist and they said there wasn't one in Bradford -- the yellow Pages.

The BBC has analysed the day of two and a half thousand dental practices

in England that provided information about weather they were except in

new patients. 48% said they were not accepting new adult patients and 40%

said they weren't excepting new child patients. There's a emerging

crisis about more dentist not accepting new patients simply

because they are not allowed to see more patients, the government has

only commissioned enough to treat half the adult population and it's a

disgrace. People that need an NHS dentist should get one. NHS England

said the latest patient survey found 95% of people seeking a dental

appointment were able to get one and overall the number of dentists

offered NHS care is 3800 higher than a decade ago. David Rhodes, BBC

News. The Indian Prime Minister,

Narendra Modi, is shortly to meet Aung San Suu Kyi, as the country

catastrophic consequences caused 13 people have been rescued

after becoming trapped in a 53 11 members of the public and two

staff members were winched to safety from the Jurassic Skyline

tower in Weymouth by a Coastguard A full investigation

into the incident is under way. I once got stuck on the London Eye.

It just stopped. At the top? At the top, it stopped. They did an

announcement and they said to stay where you are, someone will come to

rescue you. But then you get more for your muggy! We got about an hour

more, but eventually it started working. Did you have a packed

lunch? I'm not going to say -- money. You get inside information

that are not going to pass on. What do you mean? I can't say. We weren't

rescued. I'll get to the bottom of this!

The commentator John Motson is calling time on his BBC career

10 European Championships and thousands of domestic matches

during his 50 years with the corporation.

His final BBC commentary will be the FA Cup final in May.

I was going to say it was like being paid for your hobby, that's what

people always say to me but there is a little bit of hard work involved.

The preparation and the homework and watching players and going to see

games so that you could do the one you were doing next a bit better. It

was a challenge, but it was a challenge that I always enjoyed.

I'm sure he will still be around but it will be strange not to hear his

voice all the time. On those big occasions, those big moments when we

see the national team particularly playing, we are really very used to

hearing his voice. Ivanov the last few years Guy Mowbray has taken over

but you still associate Mommsen with major tournaments -- even though

over. I will talk about John Moore during the papers because we can't

not mention the coats, can we? -- John Moore. Let's start with the

actual football because Wales have gone and done it, they have ruined

the surprise, everyone now knows that Wales are really quite good!

They let the cat out of the bag last year at the Euros but now everyone

is aware that they are a really strong side.

Wales left it late in Moldova, but their hopes of qualifying

for next year's World Cup remain in tact

Teenager Ben Woodburn was inspirational again,

setting up one of the goals that moved Wales up to second

through to the semi-finals of the US Open for the first time in seven

Obviously not been spending too many nights out with her sister's new

baby. Not been doing that yet, she's been concentrating on the day job.

Are you going to hang around for the papers in a moment? I am.

Let's find out what's happening with the weather.

It is beautiful. Pretty quiet conditions across much of the

country through the day. Sunny spells and it is feeling fresher

than recent days. Less sticky and certainly more dry than yesterday.

Today we've got a westerly influence. The wind coming in from

the Atlantic. It would be dry everywhere. A few showers. With the

clear spells it's a cool start, so temperatures at the moment down in

single figures fairly widely. Especially chilly first thing in

rural spots, but we have sunshine pretty much from the word go. The

areas most likely to see showers are northern and western Scotland, a

couple for Northern Ireland and a few into the west of England.

Elsewhere you will avoid the showers and have decent sunshine. Cumulus

cloud building in the afternoon and temperatures doing reasonably well.

It will feel fresh, but there will be dry and bright weather. The

isolated showers his way through this evening and overnight. Into the

early hours of Thursday, a bit of a change from the west as we have more

cloud bringing some rain. So things will change on Thursday. Further

south we hold on to the fresher feel, with sunshine. Southern and

eastern England staying dry, but you will notice further north the

arrival of the wet and windy weather. Tomorrow afternoon in more

detail now. The heavy rain across much of Scotland. Quite windy. And

across Northern Ireland a bit of a damp story by the afternoon. Heading

south across England and Wales you can see the heavy burst into north

Wales and Manchester. Further south across England it's a bit of a dry

story. Still the odd shower and 90 degrees. Pleasant enough for much of

southern and south-west England. -- 90 degrees. Then we have the arrival

of the low pressure which will push eastwards into Friday and it could

be bringing some pretty unsettled weather as we head towards the end

of the week. This is Friday. Wendy blustery showers. Longer spells of

rain likely in southern England by the time we get to Friday. Cooler

and windy. That's setting us up for an unsettled weekend. Saturday, some

sunshine and showers around. If you avoid the showers, 19 degrees or

should feel pleasant. Unsettled again by Sunday. I know we will see

you later to tell us Hurricane Irma. You're watching

Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories this morning:

Proposals aimed at cutting the numbers of low-skilled migrants

from Europe following Brexit have Winds of 180mph from Hurricane Irma

have begun lashing islands in the Caribbean, where people have

been told to evacuate their homes. Let's have a look at some of the

front pages. Most of them have a picture of Meghan Markle, who has

given her first interview, saying how much she is in love with Prince

Harry. She spoke to Vanity Fair magazine. Lots of papers speculating

on how to win the engagement might if the that's one of the main

stories. This headline: Of different stories on the

Telegraph. They've also got this leaked document about Brexit. A

story about BBC launching a review into salaries. The director-general

will give information about the today. -- that today. And natural

selection is weeding out Alzheimer's and asthma from the human gene pool,

according to a major study. The front page of the Times. We will

speak to Michael Fallon about that later on. This is an android named

Erica. It's a picture of her in a portrait

competition and they're discussing whether that breaks rules because

she is actually an android, but you wouldn't be able to tell.

And there's an interesting story. Dog walkers told to carry two Pasig

bags. -- two as the bags. Even before your dog has done a poo, if

you don't have two bags ready to go you could be fined. You have to have

a backup. Police can't search you, they can say, can you produce two

bags? If you can't, you could be fined.

You don't need two bags. I don't carry two, but I will from now on.

One in each pocket! Have you got some now?

The Mall, it's funny. We've had a few weeks whether papers have had

lots of different stories. Mostly they talk about Brexit and Meghan

Markle. Eddie Jones was talking yesterday

about a foot or Convention. He is talking about fear of failure in the

England football team. He said traders have to get over the fear of

failure and have to get over the target of getting to a

quarter-final. He also says life is too comfortable. They get their big

car, their big house, they do the same thing at training, someone else

tells them what to eat. He says you have to give people a little bit of

autonomy. You have to give them the responsibility for running their

life and that way you will develop and get more confident. I mentioned

Don Watson. A great picture. -- Johnb Motson. This was in 1990.

Confirming that their match with Peterborough was off because it was

snowing. There is another story which are not allowed to give you

full details. Not necessarily for breakfast!

It is about a day that went horribly wrong. If you would like to know the

details, you can go on the website. It is hard to imagine a worse first

date. When you started saying that, there

were cries in the gallery of people saying, "No!"

There are some things that are not to be talked about first thing in

the morning. I like how you have moved on.

Fishing is one of the oldest industries in the world but it has

faced tough times in Britain in recent years, bringing challenges

The fishing industry voted overwhelming to leave the EU,

and as part of our series looking at coastal communities,

we've sent Sean to Grimsby to find out how it is preparing for Brexit.

Good morning. Preparing for Brexit and the sale of all of this fish

this morning in Grimsby. We spent the last day also speaking to a lot

of people around here about what this industry means to them now and

it's a pretty big deal. Across the UK there are only about 12,000

fishermen getting these kinds of fish in. In the mid- 90s, that was

about 20,000. So quite a drop even in the last 20 years. But as a

proportion of our entire economy you are only talking about 0.1%,

including all of the fish processing stuff that goes on in places like

rooms be. In terms of the amount, in this entire room with got about 50

tons of cod and haddock but we fish about 400,000 tons of fish every

year in the UK, but we import loads as well, just so you can get your

fish and chips, an -- another ?1 billion also is imported. Just to

give you an idea of how people are feeling, and the collapse of the

industry here, I went around Grimsby and I kicked it off by speaking to

Darren, one of the few fishermen left ear.

Darren is now one of the last fishermen working in Grimsby. We've

got crabs. The lad sort them out. We get a good price for the hen crabs.

They go to the Chinese market. What's it like being a fishermen

here in Grimsby these days? Card with the prices. They go up every

year and it's getting bad. -- it is hard with the prices. Before it was

working 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Dennis remembers those days

vividly. He started on the boats back in the boomtime, in 1959. So

you were skipper of this boat. I certainly was. Decades ago. And in

the heyday, even before you were skipper, how many of these kind of

boats would there have been around Grimsby? There were actually 12 of

these. All of the other companies had a similar size of ship. This

type of ship, you are talking a couple of 100. A few hundred of

these? But 700 trawlers altogether in Revesby. These are known as the

biggest port in the world. -- Grimsby. They have been reduced to a

handful of trawlers, partly because the UK lost a battle with Iceland

over fish. And new real pinballs came on in the 1980s that left many

people here feeling like they didn't have as much access to fish as they

did before -- new European rules. So Grimsby has had to reinvent itself

as a fish processing hub and many small businesses still running

buildings like this. There are lots of food places in Grimsby, right

from the really high technical end, with lots of innovation and lots of

modern facilities, taking care of modern needs, to this. To what

you've got. And what have we got here? This is traditional coal

smoking, smokehouse. Smoking salmon and haddock. We do that in a

traditional way. This is one of the smokehouse is. You talk about trade

barriers, future negotiations that the UK might have with the EU and

other countries. How important to you is it that there aren't any more

barriers? Really important. Grimsby in particular, which is a fabulous

food-processing town, the supply of fish, the timely supply of fish, is

really crucial. So let's not hold it up on the way here.

That was a variety of the folks we spoke to. A couple of them set up

around the docks here. They are trying to regenerate it. But what

will Brexit mean? Let's have a chat to Mike, from the fishing industry.

Good morning. It is beautiful here. We've heard a few people say there

are opportunities, but also uncertainty around Brexit. A lot of

people in your industry voted to leave the EU. How are they feeling

now? Uncertainty and opportunity very much sums up the mood in the

industry. We have a huge opportunity with the change, hopefully fishing

opportunities will come our way post Brexit when we see fishing

opportunities across Europe we figured, so that within the UK we

have a better share of the fish that are found in our waters. That's a

big opportunity for the UK industry to hopefully grow. We will see some

regeneration in some of the coastal towns you are talking about. But

there is also uncertainty. If you are an importer of all of these fish

or the shellfish that a lot of business is like yourself import,

the trade barriers that might, after the European Union, what effect

could that have on your business? Trade relations reaching a state

where we can still trade freely with Europe on good terms is very

important. Importers in Grimsby need to bring catchier to sell to UK

consumers. Are you hearing things to reassure you? We are still waiting

to hear from the government. We exported a lot to Europe so we have

a strong interest within the catching sector to keep the free

trading relationship going. Thank you very much. The weaker pound will

have helped him a bit. So many things to take into account. We will

look at what wrecks at might mean for the future of the industry and

what they're doing here now -- Raqqa. They have

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment,

but also on Breakfast this morning:

As tensions increase over North Korea, we'll be asking

Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon about the government's plans

to modernise and expand the Royal Navy fleet.

Also this morning, the Cromer crab has been caught off

the Norfolk coast for centuries but could its future be under threat

And, is Life is a Cabaret for singers Louise Redknapp

They'll be here to tell us about dusting off their dance shoes

for their new production of the smash hit musical.

But now a summary of this morning's main news.

A leaked Home Office document has set out plans for how the UK

immigration system could work after Brexit.

The paper, which has been published by the Guardian newspaper,

considers how the Government could dramatically reduce the number

It also proposes time limits on how long EU nationals could stay

The BBC understands the document, which was produced last month,

Let's speak to Iain Watson about it. You've got the document, what is in

it? A risk of a new world record, summarising and 82 page document in

a minute but there are several things we should concentrate on, you

can go online if you want more detail but effectively this gives an

insight into the Home Office thinking about what will happen with

immigration after Brexit. It's not been signed off by ministers, it's a

discussion document. The suggestion is there will be a transition period

after Brexit of at least two years and during that time not that much

would change with the system, EU nationals could still work here or

study here but if they here for three or six months they would have

to register to state. If you're a jobseeker trying to find work then

you wouldn't be able to register, you would have to have at least a

guarantee of employment before doing so -- state. Beyond that there would

be a restrictive system -- state. If you are unskilled or low skilled as

a worker -- stay. You might only be allowed to stay for one or two years

and then you would have to go home but if you are highly skilled you

could go for three or five years and then apply for permanent residency

and all EU migrants will find new restrictions on bringing in family

members. Thanks very much, Iain, we will

speak to you later. We will be speaking to

Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon just after 7:30am about

the government's plans post-Brexit. Winds from Hurricane Irma have begun

lashing islands in the Caribbean, where people have been told

to evacuate their homes. Officials are warning

of the potentially catastrophic effects of the Category Five

the Leeward Islands and will move on towards Puerto Rico

and the Dominican Republic. It's projected to reach the US state

of Florida on Saturday. Let's speak now to Genevieve Stewart

Smith, who's currently on holiday Good morning, Genevieve. What are

the conditions like at the moment? Good morning. It's 1:30am

approximately here. Yes, it's getting very gusty. Nothing too

Savea at the moment. Lots of palm trees are waving terrifically --

Savea. Where I am standing from my apartment window, the sea breakers

are coming over the sea wall into the lower parts of the houses that I

can see. We still have power although we have been warned it may

get turned off, they are expecting it to fail. Water was turned off

earlier today, and the desalination plants. The hotel itself has been

reasonably good at updating us, mostly telling people to get plenty

of supplies of water and tinned food into their apartments. But all in

all, at the moment we are doing OK. We have been told that the worst is

going to be between 1am and 5am today. I understand that they've

tried to move the boats away and put them to safety, what's going on?

There's a lagoon at the back of Simpson Bay and boats have been

queueing up for the last two days to go in. There's a road bridge that

has to be raised several times during the day and they have all

scurried into the lagoon at the back of Simpson Bay for safety.

Genevieve, very good luck to you and I hope you stay safe. Thanks for

interesting there are no stairs, are there no stairs? I don't know. Why

don't you know? In terms of what we need to know, big demand from our

viewers about what's going on on the London Eye, you can't say that

there's something you can't tell us about. We were on the London Eye and

it stopped at the top and an emergency voice came the tannoy and

said you are safe, your rescuers will be on the way. That's kind of

alarming when you are at the top. We waited and waited and then they said

there is a emergency supplies in the pod. We never cracked open them. We

should have gone for it. Where are they? They didn't tell us that

because it didn't get to that stage. Biscuits? I don't know, I would

probably put in some gin. I'm is sure it's something more sensible

like water. Probably use something like water. After an hour it

eventually moved but I was more than slightly out of breath. You didn't

need to break out the gin all get winched down? Thank you for an

unveiling that. There are supplies? I don't ever want to test that

theory! Shall we not do that? Probably a good idea. Ben Woodburn,

how good is he, played for Wales last night, he's had the most

fantastic week. Interestingly he's been very well looked after at

Liverpool by Jurgen Klopp and Chris Coleman also has a similar theory to

Klopp, they are going to try to protect him a bit, how long for,

we're not sure. Wales are still on track to qualify

for next year's World Cup It was another great

night for Ben Woodburn, who set up al Robson-Kanu

ten minutes from time. Woodburn scored the winner

against Austria at the weekend. And in injury time,

Aaron Ramsey sealed the win that

leaves them second in their group. Serbia are top after they beat

Aluko. Sampson led England

to the semi-finals of the last

World Cup and European Championship and he was cleared of any wrongdoing

by two investigations. He insists he is happy to meet

with Aluko to discuss any differences since he dropped

her from the squad. I've heard the specifics of the

allegation and at the time we released a statement and we were

very clear that I didn't say that. I'm very disappointed the

allegation's come out but I understand it and all I can say is I

didn't say that to Eni. With any of my communication my intention is to

support the players, give them confidence and give them chance to

be successful on the field. At the age of 37, Venus

Williams is two wins away

from another grand slam title. She beat Petra Kvitova

in a real thriller to reach her

first US Open semi-final It took over two and a half hours

and the deciding set went to a tie-break, Williams said it

felt like a special match. Her last grand slam triumph

was nine years ago. Jamie Murray picked himself up

to partner Martina Hingis to victory in the quarter-finals

of the mixed doubles, that after he and Bruno Suarez,

the defending champions, were knocked out of

in the hills on the Tour of Spain today and he's nearly

two minutes in front. Froome won his fourth Tour de France

in July but he's never taken the Vuelta before,

is being able to take advice. Rarely more important than in golf

where Phil Mickelson sought some help during the final

round of a tournament in Boston. Would you go for here out of the

Riley. I'm guessing around seven. Extremely informed. Phil said, would

you like a job as my caddie? He's one of the great chapters in the

game. Lovely. You would be a proud parent. To come back with something

so specific and right as well, clever boy. Well done, Riley.

From reaching Mars to developing nuclear power, British scientists

must continue to work in collaboration with their European

That's the message from the government as it sets out

a position paper on leaving the European Union.

In a moment we'll get reaction from two people who work

First, here's our science correspondent Pallab Ghosh

British science is one of the biggest winners of membership of the

European Union. Between 2007 and 2013, the UK received ?8 billion

from the EU. That's ?3 billion more than it put into the research

budget. Its membership of the main European research programme enables

UK researchers and businesses to develop collaborations with leading

European research labs and industrial partners. Researcher

leaders have argued that withdrawal would be a body blow for British

science. The government it seems has listened. I understand it's expected

to say all options for research with EU partners are on the table,

including a special status for the UK that would allow continued close

collaboration. Nick Wright is an astronomer

at Keele University, whose research relies

heavily on EU funding. for Science and Engineering,

is in our London newsroom. Good morning. Sara Conor how

important is it that we keep collaborating with our European

partners on science? -- Sarah,. It's one of the most aspects of science

and innovation in the UK. We have survey scientists before and they

tell us in the vast majority of responses, over 90%, they really

value highly the collaborative networks with other researchers in

the European Union as well as access to important facilities that allow

research to go on across many countries. Nick, for you, as EU

funding affected your research and what are your concerns going

forward? I'm not directly funded by the EU but I've looked at it in the

future and knowing that could be taken away is worrying for my future

research career and what I may be able to achieve. The collaborations

that are beginning to fray at the edges because of Brexit are quite

worrying. I have been told by a collaborator that I wouldn't be

included in a potential project because I was in the UK and

therefore there could be a risk to the funding proposal because of my

involvement, and I know examples of this beginning to appear. In that

conversation, was there anything you could do to dissuade them? I kind of

understood the point that he was making. He has to apply for research

funds to support his research career. If he felt there was a risk,

I personally didn't, I try to persuade him of that, if he feels

there's a risk then you can't encourage somebody to put you on a

proposal which could their chances. Others from outside the UK might say

they aren't willing to partner up because they are buoyed about what

would happen post- Brexit? That has been a really worrying feature of

the uncertainty caused with the transition process, I suppose, of

moving from the referendum vote into a new scenario. I think I would

never underestimate the challenge that Brexit poses to science. It is

a very significant challenge. A positive thing about it is it shows

the government making an overdue to the EU and saying these are the ways

in which we currently collaborate on science with the EU and we want to

discuss how to keep this going in the future. So I see it as the UK

government being quite positive and say that all options are still on

the table and we want to negotiate perhaps closer ways that can work

with the EU particularly on science. Give us an idea, Nick, how much do

you talk to European colleagues at how important is that relationship

between scientists here and European scientists? I've had many

conversations in a typical day with astronomers across Europe, as well

as in other countries. We discuss the scientific research projects,

proposals we will put forward for funding, to build projects or to

move projects forward or to bring a project to publication. It sort of a

continual process. Are there other countries that you could be doing

this with? There are other countries I can collaborate with and I

collaborate with people in a number of countries, but it is difficult to

have the funding and collaborative framework that the EU has set up

that allows us to apply for a large pot of money that could be shared

between multiple countries. Individual governments can't really

do that. I know there are positives in what the government is saying,

but surely you can understand the genuine concerns of people like Nick

and many others? Absolutely. I really wouldn't underestimate that

at all. The situation at the moment, the way in which we collaborate with

the EU, it works very well because the structures and processes are

already in place and there are funding programmes bear and

collaborative programmes which make it easy for researchers in the UK to

work with counterparts across Europe. There are important global

challenges on health and space and the environment, all kinds of

things, where you really need people to work together across countries in

order to tackle these problems. The weight ins are set up, it works well

for signs at the moment -- the way things are set up. I hope through

this starting paper, the starting position of the UK government, we

can work towards keeping this going beyond Brexit. Thanks very much for

your time this morning. It's very interesting. And David

Davis says about the paper that it sends a clear message to the

research and innovation community, that we value their work and feel it

is crucial to maintain collaboration with our European partners. Thanks

very much. Let's find out what's happening with

the weather. We will be concentrating a lot for

-- on Hurricane Irma. A much quieter story this side of the Atlantic. It

is all eyes on Hurricane Irma at the moment, with its potentially

catastrophic impacts. We will keep you up-to-date through the morning.

The weather here is pretty quiet. This is sunrise, taken recently by

one of our Weather Watchers. Clear skies around and with those clear

skies it is quite chilly start the day. We've lost the weather front

that brought the rain over the past few days. That's clear to the east

and we have more of a westerly influence as we head the day. To

start things off with a clear skies temperatures widely done in single

figures, so a fresh start. Less muggy and humid than recently.

Through the day we have a lot of dry weather on the cards across much of

the country. A few showers propping up in Northern Ireland in the

north-west Scotland and a few perhaps for Cumbria and Lancashire.

But most of us avoiding the showers. It will be breezy, with some fair

weather cloud. It feel pleasant -- feels pleasant, with temperatures

about 50- 20. We will see a few showers for the north-west of

Scotland, but then most of us are looking dry, with clear skies again.

As the recipe for a chilly night again. During the second half of the

night we have more cloud moving on from the north and west, bringing

outbreaks of rain. So not as chilly tomorrow morning as it is outside at

the moment. Across Scotland and Northern Ireland we have the rain

and wind picking up through the morning. Further south across

England and Wales it will cloud over from the north-west, but towards the

south and east you should stay mostly dry. Tomorrow afternoon we

see more heavy rain setting in marking the start of an unsettled

spell of weather. Across much of Scotland and Northern Ireland we

have a wet and breezy afternoon. Feeling cool. There could be a bit

of surface water lying around, with heavy rain in the north-west England

and Wales. In the north-east you are likely to stay mostly dry.

Temperatures about 90 degrees. And a few showers across the south-west of

England, with the breeze picking up later. This is the culprit bringing

us the unsettled weather. Low pressure moving in. On Friday that

sits to the north of the UK. It will be a windy day on Friday, with some

sunshine but also plenty of showers and perhaps longer spells of rain

around parts of southern England on Friday. Quite cool and showery and

that will continue into the weekend, with low pressure staying not far

away. Some showers around on Saturday. It could turn the key wet

and windy by Sunday. Back to you both. Thank you.

The crabbing industry is to Cromer what sticks of rock

Tourists flock to the North Norfolk coast just to sample

But according to the charity Seafarers UK, towns like Cromer

or Aldeburgh in Suffolk, which were built on traditional

fishing methods, are in decline and need more support.

Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin is in Aldeburgh for us this

It looks like a lovely day. Good morning.

Good morning! It has been the most amazing sunrise down here. Just

absolutely gorgeous. No wonder so many people want to live in places

like this. It is picturesque. This is Aldeburgh on the Suffolk coast at

an amazing place. People have been selling their wares from places like

this all along the coast here for the best part of 100 years. But

numbers of fishermen are declining. Back in the 1600 there were about

1500 fishermen based here in Aldeburgh. In the 1800 that halved

to about 700. If the news ago there were just 35 and today only three

fishermen are left. So what happens in cases like this when the

fishermen leave and the tourists, the second home owners, movie and?

We went about two hours further up the coast that way to Cromer, famous

for its crap, to find out the answer to that question.

Fishing is so a part of the fabric of Cromer that if you stop someone

on the shore and ask their name... Johnny. Surname? Seibu. People think

it's a fake name. Jonny first went to see here at five, full-time as

soon as he could skip school. What makes Cromer Cromer? Virtually

untouched. No big roads, it hasn't got the mass tourism, we don't need

the hotels, and the fast food chains and stuff like that. Special? Very

special. Special, but it is changing. You are obviously a lot

faster than me. I've been doing this since I was about eight, nine years

old. He does what his parents did and what his grandparents did before

them, at the next-generation... Never. No, it's not... No. He is

only a boy, he might change his mind. You never know. Is this

emotional blackmail? Is tried to emotionally but they'll be in the

past but failed miserably. The number of cramming both you has

fallen from 150 30 years ago to about a dozen today -- crabbing.

Plastic battery now stands where a crabbing back we once stood. -- a

plastic factory. Could this be the last generation in Cromer? Obviously

it would be very sad. It would be heartbreaking. The old Fishermans

cottages are being snapped up as holiday rentals and second homes by

people like Mark. A very sweet little cottage. Mark tells me change

is good. It's starting to go slightly more upmarket. Are you

worried at all about the fishing industry here? Not really, but I'm

not a fishermen, so the town needs were at -- needs tourists. I think

what we can do to encourage that is good. But Sarah who served as a

crowd is less certain that change serves everyone well. You were here

wigging them, were due? I was. Are you cross? I am. It easy and almost

trite for property developers to say it is progress, but it's got to be

done in a measured way. We have four children of our own and they are

young adults now and I doubt very much that they would be able to buy

a property in this area. On the high these shops are closing down to make

way for the first big-name coffee shop. A petition was taken to the

council to try to stop the Korean crabbing tractors on the beach, they

were disturbing some of the new arrivals. When people don't leave

here all year round there's no incentive to invest essential

services, so transport, education, health, all of these things suffer

and comes somewhere where people to live if people don't live in it

loses its identity. The very thing that brought the second homeowners

in the first place? Yes. So you think it's worth fighting for? I

certainly do. Many of these traditional communities are

changing. What is progress the sum is not to all.

This is a dilemma. They are just bringing in their wall. People love

seeing this. What do you keep this place is as real living, breathing,

dynamic areas, where real people live, or do they become a museum

piece for tourists? This is the problem. Seafarers UK, a charity

that supported fishermen for 100 years, say there is more need today

and ever before to support this fishing communities.

Back to you. It is wonderful scene that go on behind you. They you so

much. Back with you later. Much better weather than yesterday.

Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

Expect a spell of wet and windy weather.

Good morning. Good morning. A bright and breezy day today. Dry for most

of us. A few showers in the north-west. I will bring you all the

details in 15 minutes. Thank you. A leaked Home Office document has

set out plans for how the UK immigration system

could work after Brexit. The proposal, which has been

published by the Guardian newspaper, considers how the Government

could dramatically reduce the number It also proposes time limits on how

long EU nationals could stay The BBC understands the document has

not been approved by ministers. Let's get more from our political

correspondent Iain Watson Is this a damaging document? What is

in it? I don't know if it will be damaging the PE depends on your

political point of view. This is it. It is sensitive. It suggests after

Brexit there will be a transition period of at least two years in

which immigration from the EU does not change much. EU migrants wanting

to stay for six months would have to register for the first time. Beyond

that, radical suggestions are being suggested. Low-skilled workers could

only stay here for two years. Highly skilled workers may not even be able

to stay permanently at all. 3-5 years. Family members, if you want

to bring them, that will face new restrictions as well. Is

implemented, and it has not been decided yet, it could be a radical

change. -- if. We will speak to the Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon

themselves for one of the most powerful hurricanes ever recorded

We can speak now to Carolyne Coleby who's been preparing

Just tell us where you are and what conditions are like at the moment. I

think the main impact will be tomorrow. Since yesterday afternoon,

the wind's been increasing. And over the last few hours it's gotten

louder. What preparations have you been making? We are in our house.

Others went to shelters. I have livestock, so I have moved to a

friend's house. They are at the back of the property. The goats don't do

well in water and I had to get them out of the water, basically, out of

the rain. Right. It is the middle of the night, actually, and I have been

asleep. It is pretty loud so I have not had much sleep yet. The place

you are in, do you know if it is safe and secure? It should be. The

house is very, very solid. We just had a new roof put on. I am hoping

we will not lose it. So far, so good. OK. Good luck with that. I

hope your livestock are OK as well. Good luck as the storm passes. Thank

you. We will get more information soon on where it is, where it is

passing, and where it will go. Now for some other news this morning.

A 14-year-old boy has died after a double shooting in East

Corey Junior Davis and another boy, who's 17, were found with gunshot

injuries in Forest Gate on Monday afternoon.

The second victim is said to have "life-changing injuries."

Police have launched a murder investigation.

Just half of dentists in England are accepting new NHS patients,

The British Dental Association said the figure was a "disgrace"

and evidence of an "emerging crisis" in dental care.

But the NHS says 95% of patients do manage to get an appointment.

This is a familiar sight for Fozia, who's been trying to find an NHS

I was absolutley gobsmacked and in a sense quite devastated

A mum of two on benefits, Fozia needs a local NHS dentist

for her son, Mansur, who has an overcrowded mouth

and a mineral deficiency with this teeth.

I tried going through the Yellow Pages and using the Internet

and then I used the 101 where they find you the nearest NHS

dentist, and they said there wasn't one in Bradford.

The BBC has analysed the data of two and a half thousand dental practices

across England that provided information

about whether they were accepting new NHS patients.

48% said they were not accepting new adult patients while 40% said

they weren't accepting new child patients.

There's an emerging crisis about more dentists not accepting

new patients simply because they are not allowed to see

more patients, the government has only commissioned enough dentistry

to treat half the adult population and it's a disgrace.

People that need an NHS dentist should get one.

NHS England says the latest patient survey found 95% of people seeking

a dental appointment were able to get one and overall the number

of dentists offering NHS care is 3,800 higher than a decade ago.

It's a tense time for those in the path of Hurricane Irma

as they try and protect themselves from the most powerful Atlantic

miles per hour and there is no sign that it will let up

Weather presenter, Simon King, joins us.

In a lot about this. You made a documentary about chasing

hurricanes. I made a programme for Radio5Live. I went to Miami to talk

about the forecast of Hurricane Katrina. I went to the Weather

Centre and spent time with the Hurricane Hunters, fascinating

people, who fly into hurricanes to take measurements. This is a video

of them in Irma. It seems crazy you would want to fly into or around

one. It is safe to do. They can see the turbulence, the up and down

drafts, which can cause damage to planes. They can cope with the high

winds and punch through into the eye of the hurricane. And this is from

Irma? Yes. On Monday night there were three aircrafts in Hurricane

Irma. How bad is this one? Think about the size of Irma. If you can

imagine France, Irma is the same size. Gosh. It is absolutely huge.

Think about the tiny islands in the Caribbean it is going over, it

engulfs them. We mention hurricane categories of one to five, with one

the weakest. It is five. That is rare. 185 miles per hour. What is

the most dangerous part of this storm, wind, waves?

A lot of people think it's the winds but it is actually the storm surge

that can kill more people. A massive from the national hurricane centre

to me and to everyone is that it is the floodwaters that can actually

cause more harm. It is hard to predict the path of the storm

perfectly. What affects that and where might it go? Because Florida

and a number of other places are on high alert. This is the key thing.

Hurricane hunters are crucial in the forecasting. They measure within and

around the hurricane. That helps to get an idea of the flow, where it

will go. All of that data they collect and send back to the

national hurricane centre. It is a category four hurricane, or five,

for quite a time and will move towards the Virgin Islands next,

then towards Puerto Rico, towards Cuba and beyond that there is

uncertainty but it is becoming increasingly likely that it will hit

parts of Florida, southern Florida. So we've seen parts of Florida have

been under an evacuation notice. So that will be the weekend. We will be

keeping a very close eye on the situation. No sign of it dying out.

We haven't had a major hurricane hit the US for 12 years. After Harvey,

this will be the second one and that in itself is the wreck. You've given

us an idea of what might be to come. Thank you very much.

The size of France, that gives you the picture of how huge it is.

Winds of 180 miles per hour from Hurricane Irma have begun

lashing islands in the Caribbean where people have been told

Let's find out what's happening with the weather.

Good morning. All lies on the Caribbean, but here on our shores

it's a very quiet day weatherwise. Calm, a serene start. We have some

breezy weather developing. Winds coming in from the Atlantic. They

are pushing away this cold front that brought us rain over the past

day. A fresher feel. The temperatures are fairly widely in

single figures. Just one degree above freezing in some parts of the

rural sheltered glens of Scotland. It will be chilly, with a lot of

sunshine. For most of us it looks like a bright day. We will have a

few showers across parts of the north-west of England and the north

and west of Scotland. But for the bulk of the country a dry day ahead,

with fair weather cloud bubbling up through the afternoon. Temperatures

between 15- 20 degrees. So in a shelter it should feel pleasant.

Breezy further north of the country. Into the evening it is looking

bright, and temperatures will fall quite quickly again. Turning chilly.

But during the second half of the night of the cloud builds from the

north and west, bringing outbreaks of rain through the early hours of

Thursday. So it won't be quite as chilly as it is first thing. Through

the day things are on the change. The wet and windy weather is working

through Scotland and Northern Ireland further south and east. It

should stay dry for a good part of the day. Tomorrow afternoon is when

we have some fairly heavy bursts of rain across Scotland and into

Northern Ireland. There could be supplying water into the north-west

of England too. Heading south across England and Wales the wet weather

had seen and it is quite easy. Further south-east it's a dry a

picture, with perhaps a few showers. Temperatures again of 19- 20. The

cloud is building into the south-west, bringing rain later in

the day. And then things are looking unsettled towards the end of the

week. The low pressure through Thursday night and into Friday

becomes well-established across the north of the UK. Quite a breezy

picture on Friday. Those winds are circulating around, bringing some

showers or perhaps longer spells of rain, especially across parts of

southern England. Temperature is typical of the time of year. But

that low pressure stays with us through the weekend. So showers

around on Saturday and things could turn quite wet and windy by Sunday.

Back to you. Thanks very much!

Fishing is one of the oldest industries in the world but it has

faced tough times in Britain in recent years, bringing challenges

All this week we are talking about coastal Britain.

The fishing industry voted overwhelming to leave the EU,

and as part of our series we're looking at coastal communities,

and we've sent Sean to Grimsby to find out how it is preparing

I reckon there is an auction about to start! It is getting under way

right now. We are right in the middle of the auction. A lot of this

stuff that we eat in the UK comes from abroad. So they are doing a

good job and a lot of this fish... Can I ask you, where has this fish

come from? This is fresh Icelandic fish. This is fresh in last night.

Weirdly, we actually import a lot of the fish we eat... Sorry. A lot of

the fish we catch ourselves we export. So it is complicated what

happens. Over the last day or so I've been looking around Grimsby to

try to find what the workers around here think might happen. Darren

works on the other side of the ports and I asked what he thinks the

future might hold. Darren is now one of the last

fishermen working in Grimsby. We get a good price

for the hen crabs. What's it like being a fisherman

here in Grimsby these days? It's hard in Grimsby,

with the prices. The prices go up every year

and it's getting bad. This port was working 24 hours

a day, seven days a week. He started on the boats back

in the boomtime, in 1959. And in the heyday,

even before you were skipper, I guess, how

many of these kinds of boats would there have

been around Grimsby? There were actually

12 of these boats. But all of the other companies had

a similar size of ship. This type of ship, you are talking

a couple of hundred. But 700 trawlers

altogether in Grimsby. These were once known

as the biggest ports in the world, but have been reduced

since to a handful of trawlers. That's partly because the UK lost

a battle with Iceland over fish. And also new European rules came

in in the early '80s that left many people here feeling like they didn't

have as much access to fish So Grimsby has had to reinvent

itself as a fish processing hub and many small businesses still run

in buildings like this. There are lots of food

processers in Grimsby, right from the really

high technical end, with lots of innovation

and lots of modern facilities, taking care of modern

needs, to this. This is a traditional

coal smoking smokehouse, We do that in a traditional way

and this is one of the smokehouses. You talk about trade barriers,

future negotiations that the UK might have with the EU

and other countries. How important to you is it

that there aren't any more Grimsby in particular,

which is a fabulous food-processing town,

the supply of fish, the timely So let's not hold it

up on the way here. Right, they are nearly done. Just a

few boxes left. You can see on here, the way it works is no money changes

hands. So they say. That's how it should work in theory. When you get

down to the last few boxes, does that mean they are the dregs? No,

the fish is graded and this happen to be the last few boxes. Well, you

might get that one if you put your bid in right. Richard is from the

university of Hull. A busy time of the morning. Nothing like the smell

of fish to wake you up! It is pretty strong here! We have talked a lot

about Grimsby and how the fishing industry has collapsed a bit here

and they are try to reinvent themselves, but with Brexit and if

we get more access to our own waters, Scotland would be hugely

affect it, wouldn't it? How much of a difference are we talking when we

look at the Scottish economy? It's a massive issue the Scotland legally,

politically, economically. Legally, they want more control over their

own waters. Yeah, having control over Scottish waters for Scottish

fishermen will be a big thing. It looks really hectic here. We've

caught it at the peak time of the auction. But good Grimsby ever

really get back to that biggest port in the world status, or is it all

about food processing? I think it's about food processing. The days of

fishing, lots of small vessels bringing their catch to Grimsby,

it's just not going to happen again. Most fishing is industrial, large

vessels, and economically this is a big earner betting they want to make

sure they can retain control of this. Thank you very much. I think

I've missed the boat in terms of getting one of these deals.

Everything has been sold, which means it's a good morning. I'm not

sure their day's work has done. -- has been done.

What a flurry of activity! Thank you very much.

I've never seen so many wellies. Look at this.

And we are also in Aldeburgh in Suffolk this morning as part

of our series looking at life in coastal Britain.

It used to have over 1,500 fishermen in the 1600s.

That figure fell to 35 twenty years ago.

and he was cleared of any wrongdoing He insists he is happy to meet

with Aluko to discuss any differences since he dropped

her from the squad. I've heard the specifics

of the allegation and at the time we released a statement

and we were very clear that I'm very disappointed

the allegation's come out but I understand it and all I can

say is I didn't say that to Eni. With any of my communication my

intention is to support the players, give them confidence and give them

chance to be successful At the age of 37, Venus Williams

is two wins away from another grand slam title.She beat Petra Kvitova

in a real thriller to reach the US It took over two and a half hours

and the deciding set went Kvitova only returned to the tour

three months ago after the knife attack that damaged her playing

hand, and Williams said it felt This match meant a lot to me.

Obviously, playing at home, in a Major. Petra coming back and being

able to compete. Proving to herself she can do anything. It was amazing

to see her shine today. Chris Froome heads into another day

in the hills on the Tour of Spain today, and he's nearly

two minutes in front. Froome won his fourth Tour de France

in July but he's never taken He dominated yesterday's time trial

to almost double his lead. Of course, he is trying to become

the third man to do the Tour and Vuelta double. That takes some

doing. That is an incredible achievement. He seems to have the

energy to keep doing it. Thank you. It is a very glitzy night in the

sporting calendar. Many world-famous stars and athletes. It goes in my

diary very early. It is one of those nights I work until midnight and 1am

and then work again in the morning. Most mornings. BBC's Sports

Personality of the Year. It is one of the great awards. Nominations for

the Get Inspired Unsung Hero Award. Here are some of the heroes the

winner was up against. Keep it going. I am a community cricket

coach and play for my local club. 13s, 15s. I really enjoy coaching.

It is a passion. She came to us and said if I get a table would you like

it for the hall? Then she pointed out she was a coach and we said yes,

yes, yes. So she bought us our first table and here we are. Nice and

fast. Off we go! It is lovely. I really appreciate it. It is great

that at the end of the session they always walk up and say thank you. So

long as they are smiling and enjoying it, I don't care. That is

one of my favourite awards of the night. Fantastic. The man who beat

them to the prize is the winner from last year, Marsalis, along with

Darren Campbell, a famous sprinter. An ambassador for the award. You

told us you did not sleep last night. How has the last few months

been since winning the award? It has just been surreal. It completely

changed my life. It has been just non-stop now. Lots of things

happened. Lots of people supported us and helped us and we have been

more sustainable. Volunteers have been given more opportunity to

volunteer. We basically, you know, have just taken the club to a

completely different level. It has been an amazing experience to be the

unsung hero of 2016. What strikes me is there are so many in sport across

all sports, there are so many volunteers doing incredible work.

How much difference did they make to your career? Umm, I think the

highest accolade I could give is it saved my life. The guidance, I

think, it has given me the belief that I was still important, I had

value, I could achieve great things. Without backgrounding at an early

age where I was able to see bad things in life, but then volunteers

and good people were guiding me on a different path and giving me the

belief that, look you want to go to the Olympic Games, it is possible,

but you need to put in the work to Olympic gold. Without volunteers it

does not happen. Boxing was your way out, wasn't it? Being involved in

that is one thing. Wanting to reach out to other people is the next

step. What was that journey for you? It was... The journey was up and

down. Boxing gave me a safe environment. It helped channel my

anger and aggression in a positive way. It gave me positive role models

to be able to be around and look at and learn from. And gave me the

perfect environment. Sport is the best place to give people a great

environment to transform their lives. And, you know, coming from

that to this is just, you know, it is just a completely different

world. And is now helping other people change their lives is one of

the best feelings that can happen. And sport can do that. It is not...

They are changing it a bit this year. It is all of physical

activity. What has changed? That is important. Sometimes sport scares

people, especially traditional sports. We all cannot be great. It

is great that it is other activities like dancing and yoga. However you

can help somebody, giving someone five minutes over time, they could

be the most valuable five minutes of that person 's life. It shows by

opening up to other activities it gets more people involved in other

activities that could potentially change their lives. Speaking with

him, it is almost like sliding doors for me because I see a path that I

could have ended up down but it doesn't matter ultimately, it is how

you turn your life around and what you get back. You got invited to a

really special party, didn't you? Yeah. It is an amazing story. This

is what this award can do. Tell us about it. Yeah, I... Tell us about

this party. Yes, Stevie Wonder, that is me and him. To have a chance to

act to represent my country with this award and go over to America

and get called over to Stevie Wonder's party... Anthony Joshua as

well. It has been phenomenal. I have met really inspirational people who

have turned me into a better person to enable other people to grow as

well. A brilliant story. How do people nominate? The website? The

website. The nomination is open today and ends on the 22nd of

October. You will get many nominations. Thank you. And to all

those volunteers as well. That is what keeps sport going. You are

watching Breakfast on BBC News. The main stories this morning:

Proposals aimed at cutting the numbers of low-skilled migrants

from Europe following Brexit have Winds of 180mph from Hurricane Irma

have begun lashing islands in the Caribbean where people have

been told to evacuate their homes. Here's Sarah with a look

at this morning's weather. Good morning.

This side of the Atlantic things are looking pretty quiet. It is likely

to be the best day of the week weatherwise. It's a beautiful

picture with this sunrise, taken in Somerset in the last ten minutes or

so. A gorgeous start in many parts of the country. We've lost the

weather front that toured all the rain in the last few days. That's

clear to the east and we have the wind is coming in from the Atlantic

at the moment. A few showers on the cards, but with the clear skies to

start things off it will be quite chilly first. A fresh feel stepping

out this morning. Temperatures in rural spots chilly. Fair weather

cloud bubbling up. Some showers around, perhaps in Cumbria,

Lancashire and in northern and western Scotland, the future

Northern Ireland but they should ease later in the day. Easy on the

northern half of the UK. Less so further south. Temperatures between

15- 20 degrees. Feeling pleasant and less humid than recently. In the

this evening and showers towards the north-west is away. Most of us are

dry and clear, especially in the first half of the night, and that's

when temperatures drop again. Later in the early hours of Thursday more

cloud builds. So tomorrow morning it would be as chilly first thing,

although there is a fresh start towards the east. The day we are

likely to see the arrival of the wet and windy weather for Scotland and

Northern Ireland. Things quieter further south-east. Looking at

tomorrow, that's when things turn more unsettled. At 4pm, heavy rain

pushes on across much of Scotland and Northern Ireland. In the

north-west England the rain can be heavy at times, bringing surface

water and spray on the roads. In the south-east you are likely to stay

dry for much of the day. 19- 20 degrees. Still the chance of the odd

shower and still breezy. Towards south Wales the cloud builds on and

the rain arrives later. That sets us up for an unsettled and to the week.

This low pressure moves in on Thursday and into Friday. Sitting

across the northern half of the UK. The winds will be rotating around

the low pressure. Breezy feel to the weather on Friday. With some heavy

showers. Perhaps longer spells around on Friday too, though it will

feel cooler, about 14- 18. Low pressure stays nearby through the

weekend. So there will be some sunshine on Saturday and scattered

showers and into the second half of the weekend many of us will see the

arrival of the wet and windy weather, a rather autumnal feel to

the weekend. Thank you very much. More details on

Hurricane Irma throughout the morning as well. Now back to one of

our main stories. We now have the clearest indication yet of the

likely shape of the immigration system in the UK after Brexit.

It is suggested free movement will end the moment the UK leads the EU,

although this hasn't yet been signed off by ministers, we understand.

Let's talk to Defence Secretary Michael Fallon, good morning. Thank

you very much for talking to us. Have you seen this document? I

haven't and I'm not going to comment on elite document, but you will get

the government's firm proposals. We have to sort out exactly what will

happen after we leave the EU when freedom of movement ends and there

is no longer a right for people from the EU to come to this country and

expect us to -- and we will set out how that will be managed later in

the year. Do you think it's good to restrict low skilled migrants to two

years' residency in the future? I won't comment on that because we

haven't finalised the policy, to be clear freedom of movement has to end

because we are leaving the EU, that's what people voted for, and

freedom of movement is part of membership. To finish. We don't want

to shut the door on immigration, equally the public want to see

immigration continued to come down. It is falling at the moment. We've

always said we wanted to get it down from hundreds of thousands of -- per

year down the tens of thousands, so we will set out the pros also as to

who exactly can come here from the rest of the European Union, how long

they can work here and what their various rights will be and all that

will be set out by the Home Secretary later year. Would it be

decided on whether they are skilled or unskilled? Icon set out that yet.

It hasn't been finalised. They are being worked on at the moment.

There's obviously a balance to be struck. We to shut the door. We are

always welcoming people to the country those who can contribute to

our economy and our society. On the other hand, we want British

companies to do more to train up British workers to do more to

improve skills. So there's always a balance to be struck. Where not

closing the door on future immigration, but it has to be

managed properly and people do expect numbers to come down. When

will we know? This does breed uncertainty for businesses as well.

We are publishing week by week a series of documents, setting out

what the future partnership with the European Union will look like in

each of the different areas. We are doing it this week for science, for

example, so that universities are clear on what will happen to their

funding and movement of scientists from Europe. We are doing it week by

week and setting out specific proposals to the European Union of

how we want this new partnership, after we've left, to work with

Europe and you will see very specific proposals on how manage

movement from the EU and India movement of British citizens to the

rest of Europe. You will see that later this year. -- and indeed

movement. Will there be a transition period? You are pressing me the

details and as I said we haven't finalised the details yet, it is

being worked on at the moment. There are going to be transitional periods

involved in quite a lot of areas. Let's talk about ship building. It's

a new national shipbuilding strategy, and there will be cuts

made elsewhere. How are you balancing the books? We are

increasing the defence budget. It goes up each year and it is

important it does. There are growing threats to this country from Russian

aggression, Daesh terrorism, using the instability with North Korea

conducting nuclear tests. So we are building up our armed forces,

investing in them, buying new aircraft, new armoured vehicles and

we are growing the Royal Navy. You see the new Queen Elizabeth aircraft

carrier arrived in Portsmouth on -- and we have cut steel on heavy duty

submarine frigates, the first build on the Clyde at the moment. Today we

are announcing the new lighter frigate that will build up the size

of the Royal Navy and allow us to have presence across the world. As

far as I understand the new frigate might be built in lots of different

parts of the UK. Does it mean some job losses in other places? No, we

are making it properly competitive, challenging all of the shipyards of

Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Birkenhead, the shipyards in Devon

and indeed in Belfast, as well as those in Scotland. Any of them will

be able to bid. It competitive process. Shipyards are revising now,

so there are a few -- huge opportunities for all companies in

the supply chain and this week contracts for five new frigates for

an expanding navy. It's a great day for the Royal Navy. Tell us about

when they will be ready, Cosby would be pretty. Years. Does that leave us

exposed until we are? -- because they won't be ready for some year.

Our current frigates will be slowly phased out. The first of the new

frigates we hope will join the Royal Navy in 2023. That's just six years

away. We will run the tender competition next year and we hope to

start building in 2019, in time to get this new ships in as the

existing ships have to be replaced. You mentioned North Korea and the

situation there at the moment. Do you think diplomacy can work at this

stage? Diplomacy has to work. The alternative is far too grim and the

Prime Minister spoke to President Trump yesterday. I reviewed the

various options with the American Defence Secretary Jim matters --

James Mattis yesterday. Although the US are making military preparations

to defend their own homeland and defend their bases in Guam and

Japan, we have to exhaust the diplomatic route first and we have

assured the US that we will be working flat out to get a stronger

diplomatic solution to this, a stronger resolution by the United

Nations, enforcement of the sanctions against North Korea, to

bring a freeze to their nuclear programme and to get China to

understand that in the end it have to take responsibility for its

neighbour and bring a halt to this programme. You said you had been

discussing options. Did you discuss whether or not the UK might provide

military support if it was asked by the US? We aren't at that stage yet.

What is important is we intensified the diplomatic work that is needed.

But it is serious. The tests continue, the nuclear programme has

exhilarated, despite the resolutions of the United Nations --

accelerated. Do we have to work hard at this and get a resolution with

sanctions that we can properly enforced, to stop raw materials and

finance get into the North Korean regime and to bring a halt to this

programme. If we don't do that we face very severe consequences in the

Asia-Pacific region. Michael Fallon, Defence Secretary, thank you for

your time on Breakfast. Sailing, sand dunes and,

of course, fresh seafood. These are only a handful reasons why

we flock to the beach. All this week we've been looking

at life in coastal communities and our deckchair has been

travelling across Britain to find out why you like to be

beside the seaside. The coast is really nice because

it's so different. Sometimes the beaches are lawn and sometimes the

same -- sand dunes and the sea comes in here. You get the day it's really

nice and sunny. Every other day is really wet and windy. What's your

favourite bit? Eating chips. Eating chips.

I enjoy fishing, so this is wonderful. There are so many

different spots I can go to and when I am fishing here an up close and

seeing all that is happening, what's coming out of the dockyard. It's

unreadable. It's quite nice to come down here as an escape from the

city. Maybe living down here would take away from it little bit. I live

on the coast and I can bring my boat in underneath. I really love the

British coast because I'm coming from the Himalayas, in Nepal, and

it's a landlocked country and we don't have any sea. So it is very

fascinating Jews either C. -- fascinating country. So it is very

fascinating to see the sea. We want a farm, with chickens!

We do a good bit of jaunty holiday music!

Where do we get the deckchair and can I take it home?

Now, though, it's back to Louise and Dan.

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

Plans to curb the number of EU migrants living and working

in the UK are set out in a leaked Home Office document.

The Defence Secretary tells this programme that free movement

will end after Brexit and the Government will set

out its immigration strategy later this year.

Let's be clear freedom of movement has toe end. It has to end because

we are leaving the European Union. That's what people voted for last

year. Good morning.

It's Wednesday, 6th September. Hurricane Irma, one of the most

powerful Atlantic storms ever recorded, has begun lashing islands

in the Caribbean. Good morning. They are packing up

the fish that's been sold at Grimsby fish market, going off to the

processors. Lots of imports and exports in this industry. I will be

looking at what Brexit might mean for the workers in it.

And we're also live in Suffolk as part of our Coastal Britain series.

Can we go there? Let's go there, now!
