rules, and that's a great thing. she's proved she can keep secrets in real life. this week millions will see how she does it on screen before finally becomes the doctor. lizo mzimba, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. we thought the weather might regenerate into something but u nfortu nately regenerate into something but unfortunately it hasn't. a lot of cloud for many places, suffolk is just one example from our weather watchers. there will be rain at times during the coming week. generally it will feel cool but if you are in the right place at the right time you will get some sunshine. a lovely day across the scottish islands. at least it was a lovely morning. further south moor in the way of cloud and some outbreaks of rain, particularly stretching from east anglia down to the south—west. this rain will come and go but some bursts might turn heavy as we head into the latter

pa rt heavy as we head into the latter part of the afternoon. the best of the sunshine will be across northern ireland and central scotland, 17 degrees belfast, 18 in dundee. a fairamount of dry degrees belfast, 18 in dundee. a fair amount of dry weather in england and wales. then we get into the band of patchy but occasionally heavy rain in the far south—west and east anglia. the far south—east could see some sunshine and if that happens temperatures could get to 22 degrees. overnight we keep the band of cloud with outbreaks of rain, not moving quickly and we could see thundery downpours off the coast of east anglia, baby ligature and easter east yorkshire as we go through the night. clear skies and light wind and a surprisingly cold night for august, particularly if you are in a sheltered spot in scotland, where it could get down to one 01’ scotland, where it could get down to one or 2 degrees. tomorrow's weather chart looks a bit of a mess. still that were the spot with a slow—moving band of rain in central

areas and an area of low pressure trying to roll in from the south—east. just to boil this down in simple terms, england and wales tomorrow will have quite a cloudy day with outbreaks of rain. there could be some vicious and thundery downpours in the south—east that could cause disruption. the best of the brightness again for northern ireland and scotland. a few showers but not too many with temperatures struggling for the time of year at 16-19. struggling for the time of year at 16—19. wednesday, we squash the wet weather down to the south—east. could be a really wet day across parts of east anglia and the south—east. they could be destruction here. a fairly cool fuel once again. thursday should be a rather dry day for many with a chance to draw breath. but by the end it looks like spells of rain will return and with that, it will turn quite blustery. some sunshine to be had in the week ahead, but you will have to be in the right place at the right time. the government says people should

have the right to be forgotten with plans giving all of us greater control over online personal data. that's it, so goodbye from me. now on bbc one, let'sjoin our news teams where you are. have a very good afternoon. this lets start with the cricket, where it is lunch on day four of the fourth and final test between england and south africa at old trafford. 380 to win the test and save the series. south africa are heading towards the rescheduled lunch which is a bit later today and

it's 40-3, still lunch which is a bit later today and it's 110—3, still trailing for 340. will it's 40—3, still trailing for 340. will update in the next hour. we're only four days into the world athletics championships and so much has happened. let's go straight and the swiss who is at the london stadium for us. there is some real british hope tonight. there is, yes. last night was a case of sony yet so far for britain but mccarthy. we were fifth in the heptathlon at holly bradshaw was six in the pole vault and usage was heartbroken afterwards. more british medal hopes this evening. lead in the women's 1500 medal hopes this evening. lead in the women's1500 metres final by laura mule or the european indoor champion. seventh at the rio olympics last year but looked very impressive in the semifinals on saturday. it is incredibly tough field for hire. but she will be hoping that she can get that elusive medal on a global stage to go with those european titles. also keep in

my upper britain's laura weightman in that. the final at 9:50pm this evening. keep an eye out for sophie hitchen in the final of the women's hammer. kitchen is a former al arena. she won braun is at the olympics in rio last year and she looked very impressive in qualifying, a single throw was all it took for sophie hitchen to get through to tonight's final and it gets underway at about 7pm. also in action the british team captain. she goes and heats of the women's 400 meter hurdle. plenty to look forward to this evening. the coverage gets underway at 6pm on bbc two. brilliant stuff. thank you for that. a story that has been developing this morning. to have been sent home from englandtraining camp on what the rugby union is calling cultural issues. rugby union reporter chris

jones hasjoined us now to talk issues. rugby union reporter chris jones has joined us now to talk a little bit about this. what do you know so far? yes, they will not be commenting further speaking about those cultural issues but my understanding is that this is alcohol related. they train normally on saturday and sunday. this three—day preseason training camp in london but on sunday night they are believed to have gone out, contravened team standards when it comes to alcohol and this morning, monday morning, the powder sent away. where it leaves their international careers we will have to wait. chris, i think we're having a bit of trouble with the contact there but i really wa nted trouble with the contact there but i really wanted to go on that line about what impact this will have on their future. do you about what impact this will have on theirfuture. do you have about what impact this will have on their future. do you have any sway? do you know what is going to happen that? well, at the moment eddie jones is still to decide. speaking

to people close in the england camp they say that there is another camp coming up. the head of the november series and dennyjones will make a decision close to that camp about whether they will feature. but for both these players it is a fairly unwise state of affairs given that one of them only recently qualified for england and the other player, after a couple of injury plagued yea rs after a couple of injury plagued years he is just after a couple of injury plagued years he isjust about after a couple of injury plagued years he is just about back to bed but he needs to keep his head down and now has gone and done this so even though their international careers at the moment are up in the air, it certainly will do their chances doing forward snow good whatsoever. thank you for that update. moving on, the person who won the tour de france twice will retire from cycling after this month's tour of spain. she has won the race three times and said on social media, i don't think there is a better farewell tha n

don't think there is a better farewell than in a home race in my own country. the spaniard was suspended for two years in 2010 after testing positive for a banned drug. that is all the sport for now. you can find out more on all of those stories on the bbc sport website. i will have more for you in the next hour. i will have more for you in the next hour. the us vice president mike pence has called reports he's preparing to run for president in 2020 — ‘disgraceful and offensive'. he said the article in the new york times was an attempt to divide the administration. ben bland has more. right—hand man, confidant, friend and trusted adviser. the role of vice president matters more than most. but the new york times has claimed that mike pence is preparing to run for the top job himself claimed that mike pence is preparing to run for the topjob himself in 2020 if donald trump does not seek re—election. it goes further, to claim that some republicans have set up claim that some republicans have set upa claim that some republicans have set up a shadow campaigning screwed in the current president because of the

turmoil in the white house and allegations that the trump campaign couuded allegations that the trump campaign colluded with russia. so is this causing concern among tea m so is this causing concern among team trump? the row concern. that is com plete team trump? the row concern. that is complete fiction. that is complete andi complete fiction. that is complete and i know that his advisers, who had comments attributed to them, have comment delete but —— have pushed back. mike pence is an incredibly loyal, incredibly effective vice president. he was quick to dismiss the allegations. he went on to say, my entirety will focus all our efforts to advance the president's agenda and see him re—elected in 2020. adding, any suggestion otherwise is both laughable and absurd. political manoeuvres played out in the white house with members of the top team being hired and fired. but top team being hired and fired. but to won has stood back from the fray

and remained relatively quiet. representing the us on various foreign trips and that the president's site for various announcements. a spokeswoman stood by the article, saying that we are confident in the accuracy of our reporting and will let the story speakfor reporting and will let the story speak for itself. the president left washington pro working vacation at the end of last week and perhaps, on the end of last week and perhaps, on the golf course, he will have thoughts about these latest stirrings. three young children are being cared for by relatives after their mother was found dead at the family home in the black country. detectives believe the 26 year old was murdered by her husband who then killed himself at the house in oldbury. a neighbour called police after hearing the children crying inside. our reporter, nicola beckford is there for us now. nicola, what more can you tell us? it is an incredibly tragic case indeed. i've spoken to some neighbours and they tell me they do not even get cases of anti—social

behaviour around here it is such a quiet little cul—de—sac. police were called to the house here behind me. you can see perhaps the curtains are still drawn. there is a police car stationed outside. they came here wrapped around 2pm on saturday afternoon. the neighbours had heard crying. the cries of children inside. they had seen those horrible scenes of their mother and father dead inside the house. when police got here they found the bodies of a 26—year—old woman. she had face and head injuries. her husband, a 30—year—old man, was found in a different part of the house. those three children, they are being looked after by members of their family and they are receiving specialist support. the police say that those children are all under the age of eight years old. one of them is in fact a baby. the police say because it is a suspected murder suicide they are not looking for anybody else in connection with this

tragic incident. a postmortem is expected to take place later today. thank you for that. 32 children between the ages of 3 and 5 have been referred to the nhs over the last year because they're unhappy with their biological gender. in total this year 216 children under the age of 10 have been to the nhs‘s only gender identity service for under 18s — that figure has more than doubled over the last 2 years. "tra nsgender" means someone who doesn't identify as the gender they were assigned to when they were born — they may wish to be seen as a different gender or no gender at all. we've been following 2 of the uk‘s youngest transgender children — lily and jessica — who're 9 and 10. i feel 99% girl and 1% boy. i always had to complain and say, "oh, i don't want to put trousers

on," but now i'm a girl i'm like, "yeah, i get to put tights on, dresses on," all those things. so tell me what makes you happiest at the moment. everyone's always looking after me, and caring. what would you say makes you sad? people, like, not being kind, when i see people being bullied. have people... has anyone been mean to you? yeah, there's this person and they're just being really mean. can i ask what they said to you? they said, "you won't be a very good woman — you should just be a man." and that really upset me. do your friends talk to you ever about you living your life

as a boy in the past? they never did, or they don't. everybody accepts you and just gets on with it? yeah. and how do you feel about that? i'd rather them not mention it, than, you know, them always talking about it. how do you want people to treat you? like a normal girl. have you thought about when you go to secondary school, will you tell people that you used to live as a boy, or will you not mention it? i won't mention it, but if it comes up i probably will say, you know... you'll be honest? mm. since we first spoke to you and broadcast the film on our programme two years ago, what do you think has changed in these two years? how much has changed? i think a lot has changed. there's a lot more coverage i think of trans, especially trans children issues, which i think has been brilliant, and has hopefully helped a lot of families. i think we've gone a long way. people have a better understanding now.

the education is coming through as well that, you know, kids aren't having surgeries, as it's been reported, at such a young age. it's not as sensationalised as it once was. although there are still people, and there will be people watching you right now, who say, "your kids are still too young. how can they possibly know?" i think if you've lived with a child, as we have, my child lily, she isjust how she is now. she is who she needs to be. jessica's a clever little girl, young lady, even. i mean, she's. .. she's grown up quick. yeah, she's grown up so much in the last year. i have every faith that she's going to have a happy life. the police watchdog in scotland is investigating after officers failed to find the body of a 64 year—old man who had been

missing for a month. after weeks of searching using police divers, dogs, volunteers, and a helicopter, arnold mouat was found at his home near falkirk. andy moore reports. 64—year—old arnold mouat was reported missing by his family on 7thjuly, the day after he had last been seen in his own home. at the time, police scotland launched an investigation, which included a search of that property, but no trace was found of mr mouat. there was also a large—scale search in the area around, involving the police helicopter, divers, mountain rescue teams and police dogs. then, yesterday, police confirmed that a body had been found in mr mouat‘s home. there was no explanation of where it was found, or in what circumstances. his death is being treated as unexplained but not suspicious. police scotland said they had voluntarily referred the case to the independent watchdog,

the police investigations and review commissioner. that same organisation started an investigation when police scotland failed to respond to an emergency call about a car that had crashed off the m9 near stirling in 2015. lamara bell died in hospital after being found in the wreckage three days later. she was discovered alongside her partner, john yuill, who was already dead. one independent review has already identified problems in police call handling. andy moore, bbc news. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour but first — the headlines on bbc news: it is the right to be forgotten. the government has announced bigger fines for companies in this use personal data. north korea says america will pay a price for drafting tough new un sanctions over its missile and nuclear weapons programme. and the british model who says she was kidnapped for a week in italy has returned home. she says

she feared for her life second by second. we could get more control of our personal information under plans outlined by the government. people will be able to ask for personal data to be deleted — and to ask firms to obtain "explicit" consent — when they process sensitive personal data. the amount we spend as consumers has fallen for the third month in a row. injuly we spent 0.8 per cent less than we did in the same month last year. this is the the longest downward streak in more than four years. we'll have more on that in a moment. house prices fell again for the 4th consecutive quarter. it's the first time that's happened since 2012. the halifax says property prices were 0.2% lower than the previous quarter. it blamed weak growth in wages.. inflation

and worries about mortgage affordability. back now to that story about consumer spending. visa says the amount we're spending has fallen yet again. the figure for last month shows consumer spending fell by close to one per cent — compared to july last year. it's the third monthly fall in a row. joining me now is kevin jenkins, visa's uk & ireland managing director. thank you. why are we spending so little? well, if you look back to 2013 there are some similarities with what we're seeing in the economy at the moment which is essentially inflation is outstripping wage growth at the moment so there is quite a downward pressure in terms of wages. we're seeing wage growth of around 2% whereas inflation is closer to 3% so people essentially are feeling bad in their pocket and feeling a bit squeezed. what areas are we cutting back on specifically? if you look atjuly compared to july last year there has been quite a downward squeeze in

terms of what we would call big—ticket items. so people are spending less on cars, which decline about 6% this year versus last year. but also not a good month injuly for clothes retailing. which was down by 5%. so, people essentially spending less on nonessential goods. does this mean that we have been more sensible or that we just mean that we have been more sensible or that wejust don't mean that we have been more sensible or that we just don't have the money to spend? certainly the data suggests that it's just a squeeze. so people are feeling the pinch in their pockets and don't have the money to spend so back on nonessential items. are we saving more as a result of just not spending? certainly the latest statistics from the bank of england suggests people are not saving more, in fact there are not saving more, in fact there are some concerns about the overall levels of household debt. it's really a squeeze in people's pockets

and that's flowing through to the high street in terms of water people are spending. thank you. thank you. thank you. we could be in for a shakeup in the rules governing our privacy. changes would include the right to ask for our personal information to be deleted. our correspondent, theo leggett, explains what this would mean in practice. these proposals would give people the right to ask for any social media posts but they placed before the age of 18 to be deleted. because obviously, the idea that young adults might find it difficult to get a job because of something embarrassing that they posted before they reach maturity, well, they don't want that. so that a central plank of this legislation proposed legislation. at other people will be able to ask for material to be deleted as well. they will be able to ask companies what information is held on them and of companies break the rules the penalties are going to be much bigger. so at the moment the information commissioner ‘s office can only impose a maximum fine of £500,000 will stop under the new

rules that mine would be increased up rules that mine would be increased up to £17 million or 4% of the company's up to £17 million or 4% of the compa ny‘s turnover, whichever up to £17 million or 4% of the company's turnover, whichever is the greater and there is even scope for criminal charges for people who, for example, people have collected information about the tainted illegally. information about the tainted illegally. in other news. staff at google have been caught up in a row about the company's gender diversity initiatives. it started when a male software engineer wrote that the firm needs to ‘stop assuming that gender gaps imply sexism". many of his colleagues have been critical of the statement but he says others support him. google says inclusion is very important to the company. about three million households are set to benefit from a tightening the value of bit cloying has risen. about three million households are set to benefit from a tightening of the price cap on pre—payment energy meters, according to regulator ofgem. the regulator says the move will cut the average bill for pre—payment

is an opera for babies — the latest in a successful strand which has been snapped up worldwide. our scotland arts correspondent pauline mclean reports. this is opera for beginners. a shorter show, a more simple storyline and a chance for the audience to move around. all required when you are not yet two. welcome to the latest show from scottish opera aimed at babies. we said we wanted it to be a true opera experience. it is babies, 6—18 months, but we wanted them to be able to say, when they were in their 20s, 30s, if someone said, "when did you first see an opera?" they would say, "well, when i was ten months old." every arts organisation wants to win over a younger audience, but for scottish opera it's about more than that. we should aspire to make sure that every child in scotland has got

the same kick—off point. you know, the same starting point. so even if it doesn't make opera—lovers of them, and that is not the be all and end all, although we would love that, it is more about setting a pattern for rest of their lives. and so far, the show has been a big hit at festivals and on tour. not to mention with audiences big and small. she was totally transfixed, really. and it wasjust interesting to see how affected she was. peaceful and tranquil, and obviously, you don't understand exactly what's going on, but you didn't need to. it wasjust beautiful. after the tour at the fringe, the show will return to glasgow before embarking on a tour with interest from across the world, in a show which has its audiences captivated and only sometimes reduced to tears. is the weather going to sound any

good? you is the weather going to sound any good ? you have is the weather going to sound any good? you have the details. it might be singing in the rain for some as we go through this week because it does look decidedly unsettled. if you're on your holiday you will wish for something a little bit more someone for something a little bit more someone like but i think you are going to be a little bit disappointed by this forecast. many areas see an cloudy skies today. that was the scene in suffolk. through the week we will see rain at times. it will generally be fairly cool but there will be some sunshine as well. you just have to be in the right place at the right time and the scottish highlands are certainly the scottish highlands are certainly the right place earlier on today. you can see a few showers pushing in across scotland and northern ireland as well as the sunshine. the best of the dry weather for northern england and parts of wales. to the south—east of that a lot of

cloud in some sporadic outbreaks of rain coming and going through the afternoon. let's take a closer look. 4pm this afternoon across scotland and northern ireland. there will be spells of sunshine including for the edinburgh fringe but some showers as well. not as many showers for northern england and west wales. you're largely drives and spells of sunshine but then we get into a band of translation: pics of rain from the south—west. all the way up to east anglia. as ba g u ette all the way up to east anglia. as baguette into the latter part of the afternoon some of these bursts of rain turn quite heavy. by showing its hands which could lift temperatures to 2122 degrees. during this evening this band of cloud really doesn't move very far. we could see the odd thunderstorm breaking up close to east anglia, maybe lincolnshire that in the night. watch the north—west with some clear spells it is going to be a decidedly chilly night. unusually chilly for august particularly if you're ina chilly for august particularly if you're in a sheltered spot in scotla nd you're in a sheltered spot in scotland were temperatures could get as low as 12 degrees. tomorrow's weather chart looks like a bit of a mess. still a weather front across central areas of the country. some

outbreaks of rain here. this area of low pressure trying to roll its way in from the south—east of what it boils down to is really quite a cloudy day crossings in wales was outbreaks of rain. the potential for some vicious thundery downpours in the south—east later one which could cause disruption. the further north and west you are the better chance of seeing some sunshine. not too many showers at the stage but temperatures struggling a little bit at 16-19. with a temperatures struggling a little bit at 16—19. with a northerly wind it will feel quite good on wednesday. the wettest weather getting squashed into what is the south—east but it bea into what is the south—east but it be a thoroughly soggy affair crossed east anglia. temperatures 16—19. thursday is a chance to draw breath. mainly dry with some sunshine. on friday spells offering will return with some blustery conditions. that is all from me for now. this is bbc news. i'm gavin esler.
