midlands, wales and the south—west, then further pulses of heavy rain will push across wales and the south—west of england later this afternoon. here is a closer look across scotland this afternoon at four o'clock, a lot of cloud and some outbreaks of rain. northern ireland, a mixture of sunny spells and heavy, thundery downpours. a window of mostly fine weather for northern england through the afternoon, and across east anglia and the south—east where we hold onto the brightness we could see temperatures reaching 25 degrees. for the midlands and the south—west of england, some outbreaks of rain. heavier pulses of rain will swing in across the south—west and wales, into northern england throughout the night. some clear spells up to the north—west, that will allow it to get chilly, and later in the night we are likely to see a fresh plot of downpours across the far south—east

of england. some rain to start tomorrow morning but it will clear off smartly to leave a day of sunshine and showers. some showers will be thundery, but equally some places will avoid the showers and stay dry all day long. not a bad day in balance. as this little bulge of high pressure builds its weight in during tuesday night into wednesday, it will turn chilly and as the high holds on in eastern areas on wednesday, here it will be largely dry day with spells of sunshine. out west, strengthening winds, rain working erratically in the western fringes of wales later in the day. sunshine and showers again on thursday, friday looks like it could bring some wet weather for some and some windy weather as well. there is some windy weather as well. there is some sunshine to be found in the forecast this week but you will need to know where to look for it. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime... india and pakistan marks 70 years of

independence from britain, a moment of freedom that sparked one of the largest mass migrations to the world has ever seen. that's all from the bbc news at one so it's goodbye from me — and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. have a good afternoon. a lot of the british team are claiming the world athletics championships was a successful one... despite only reaching their medals target thanks to a haul of five in the final 2a hours. four of those came in the relays. the women's 4 by 400 meters won a silver medal on the final night at the london stadium... the seventh medal in seven championships in this event... with the men's quartet adding a bronze a few minutes later. but even though they met their target of 6 to 8... prior to the weekend the team had only picked up one medal... cristiano ronaldo could be in big trouble.

despite helping his side beat barcelona 3—1 in the first leg of the spanish super cup... he was sent off and pushed the referee. officials will make a decision on his punishment on wednesday but it could be as much as a 12 game ban police have received complaints over neil lennon's conduct but it could be as much as a 12 game ban. the liquor cold a rival to inspire. this prompted a typically understated and illegal celebration. a yellow card for that and for this just two minutes later. diving was the referee ‘s decision and he was sent off. as usual i'm not going to criticise the referee. i'm a bit annoyed by the sending—off of cristiano. not sure if it was a penalty with a red card was too much. the spanish authorities have the

power to ban them from four to 12 games. police have received complaints over neil lennon's conduct during hibernian‘s victory over rangers at the weekend. the complaints relate to his goal celebrations lennon cupped his ears and appeared to raise a fist towards the rangers supporters. police are also investigating "offensive and threatening comments" made to lennon on social media. rory mcilroy says he might not play again this year because of a rib injury that's been plaguing him all season. he'll go for a third year without a major after trailing in tied for 22nd at the us pga behind justin thomas... who won by two shots. at one point in the final round five players had a share of the lead but thomas just might have felt it was his moment when this happened at the tenth hole. a decent putt failed to drop, and thomas actuially walked away. wait for it though....in it went... eventually.

he's the eighth first time winner in the last nine majors. eventually. i want to win every tournament i play and i want to win every major. there was great to have my father here and my grandfather was watching as well. that was pretty cool. he is the eighth first time winner in the last nine majors. that's all sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc dot co dot uk slash sport and i'll have more in the next hour the us attorney generaljeff sessions says "too much has been read into" donald trump's statement on saturday amid violence at a protest in charlottesville, virginia. mr sessions was speaking on us tv earlier this morning. it was a long statement about violence and bigotry and he condemned it and call for unity in

oui’ condemned it and call for unity in our country and cold on us to get along with one another and have love and affection. that is what he was strong about. it was just shortly after the event happened, within a couple of hours. from him knowing about it. i thought that was strong and yesterday his own spokesman explicitly condemned by names the nazis. that is the spokesman, not the president. i am sure he will speak about it again but his own spokesman said that. ijust think speak about it again but his own spokesman said that. i just think we are making too much out of this. that is why we are talking to you. but it is wrong to make a moral equivalence between these two groups of protesters, is it not? absolutely. heather heyer was i

protesting racism and bigotry and she had a right to do that. this individual had no right to drive a car into them and kill people and killing her. injuring others, some of them very seriously. this is absolutely unacceptable. it cannot be no incidents. —— be countenanced. the president had directed us to look into it. civil rights divisions are focused on it. justice will be done. coming after these people and it will not be an cannot be tolerated in america. does the president today need to specifically condemn neo—nazis and white supremacist? will he do that? absolutely. his spokesman said yesterday and i'm sure you will reiterate that in the days to come. interesting there from the us attorney general and from that strong criticism of pettersson trump. what he said was he condemned

the violence of all sides. —— president trump. meanwhile, a vigil has been held for the woman killed during violence in the town of charlottesville in virginia. heather heyer died when a car was driven into a crowd of people, protesting about a rally by white supremacists. her close friend marissa blair has been speaking to our correspondent laura bicker. heather was always... she always spoke with conviction, she liked to make you laugh. she didn't care what she said. she just wanted the best for everyone. she stood up for equality and she did not want to hate. she wanted eve ryo ne did not want to hate. she wanted everyone to be equal. she understood asa everyone to be equal. she understood as a white woman the privilege she may have had and she felt sorry that we had to go, minorities have to go

through. that is why she was out here. when it happened heather was standing right in front of me. what did you see? we were just marching and there was a commotion at the front of the crowd. we thought somebody got into scuffling and you look up the new seaboard is just flying. it is like a split—second decision annoyed and fingers to move. but it is coming so fast and all i could feel was my fiance pushing me. somebody pushing me. and thenit pushing me. somebody pushing me. and then it was just chaos. i started looking for markets. and i felt markers. and then we started looking for heather. —— marcus. markers. and then we started looking for heather. -- marcus. what do you think about the person who has done this? i think it is an act of terror and it is a hate crime and should be

treated as such. the neo—nazi stood up treated as such. the neo—nazi stood upfor treated as such. the neo—nazi stood up for hate. it was a deliberate act and notan up for hate. it was a deliberate act and not an accident. everyone say it was an accident and she was crossing the street. she was not crossing the street. we were on the street which i'm told was close. he barrelled down. you could hear the horsepower, the wheels and take—off. i want everybody to come together and unite and spread love and peace and happiness and don't lactate level. don't let someone walk around freely and spread their hate. tell them thatis and spread their hate. tell them that is not ok. we need to spread love all day, every day. notjust when something like this, tragedy happens. now everybody wants to get together and rally and be there and we will be there with heather —— for heather that heather would want is to be there all the time and that is what we will do. let's bring you

some breaking news from sierra leone. we understand from the vice president that hundreds of people are likely to have been killed in a mudslide on the ad slide of sierra leone ‘s capital. he said that he was at the scene and speaking to the reuters news agency at the scene of the mudslide, adding that a number of illegal buildings had been in the area and the disaster is so serious i feel area and the disaster is so serious ifeel broken. we area and the disaster is so serious i feel broken. we are trying to record and off the area. a mudslide in the early hours of the morning and heavy flooding that has caused that devastation in which the vice president saying he believes hundreds people are likely have died. the chairman of the parole board, nick hardwick, says ministers ”must act now‘ to address the backlog of prisoners serving

an indeterminate jail term. the sentence — known as imprisonment for public protection —— was abolished in 2012 but more —— for public protection — was abolished in 2012 but more than three thousand people in england and wales are still being held with no release date. zoe conway has this report — which does contain references to self harm. bill and christine ward are preparing themselves to visit their son in prison. he has been locked up for the last 11 years. he has been self harming. they don't know what to expect when they see him. it's been hellish. it really has. i think this is the worst year i have ever done with james, whenjames was 17, he went to prison for year for assault. near the end of his sentence, he set fire to the mattress in his cell. for doing this, a judge gave him an ipp, or imprisonment for public protection, and said he should serve a minimum of ten months. 11 years later, he is still inside. he has no release date. it never goes away.

i can't remember when i proper laughed, the last time i laughed. the last time you laughed? yeah. i can't remember. i don't know what it is like to have a good time any more. james wanted to write to us but he is not allowed pens because he stabs himself with them. so a nurse wrote his words down. i was rushed to hospital last week as i cut up and lost a lot of blood. i am still on constant watch. i feel ill treated and i'm still not getting anywhere after all these months. i have spoken to my sister recently and she was in tears because of my self harming. i owe my life to her. even if not to myself. i am trying so hard to stay as strong as possible but i couldn't promise her that i wouldn't do something stupid. he shoved a pen in his arm so he went to hospital for that, just for the blood poisoning.

basicallyjames is saying that when he is crying out for help, he is not getting any and that is why we are so dedicated, you know, to getting him home because we have got 100% dedication. in order to be released, ipp prisoners must prove to a parole board that they are no longer a risk to society. that might sound straightforward but many have struggled to access the programmes designed to reduce that risk. the system has struggled to cope. some people watching this will say, he must have done things in prison to deserve him being kept there this long, that this 11 years has to be for reason, it has to be his fault. i can't stress enough, he's not dangerous, he has never been violent in the 11 years in prison. the officers said that they never feel unsafe around james. james' parole hearings have been delayed repeatedly because the prison service has failed to carry out vital mental health assessments.

his upcoming hearing in september is more than a year behind schedule. i dread getting up in the morning because i don't know what is going to be coming that they, what is going to happen. is there going to be a knock on the door, is there going to be a phone call or whatever? a phone call to say what? took his own life and that is what i believe he will do. if we can't get him out, i think that's what it's going to be. that he will take his own life? yes. eventually. he will do, eventually. he will do. because he don't see any way out. i can't. james' family may have got used to hearing about his self harming, but they are unprepared forjust how ill he looked on the visit. we've got in there, james looked absolutely terrible. his skin's yellow, he has lost so much weight. his self harm is unbelievable. and they are just leaving him there to rot.

he cannot cope with prison. so he's had separate himself against which means causing problems, causing trouble so obviously that looks bad for the fact that he has to misbehaves to get himself in the block, to protect himself, and then because he is on constant watch because of the self harm, he's literally sat behind a cage like an animal where they walk past and point and laugh at him. how is that humane? how is that human rights? a man has been appearing in court charged with the mother of a man as he walked his dog. he had been out walking his dogs on saturday the 5th of august when he was attacked by james palmer. he was a retired bt engineer and his body was found in heathland very close to our path. in

a very brief hearing, it probably lasted no more than two minutes this morning. alexander palmer was wearing a blue sweatshirt and some grey trousers and seem to have some stubble, unshaven. he spoke quite clearly to confirm his name and his age and his address at which should give as being in the village of pringle for it which is near norwich. there was no application for bail and he did not enter a plea and districtjudge for bail and he did not enter a plea and district judge nick for bail and he did not enter a plea and districtjudge nick watson in custody to appear tomorrow morning at nine o'clock at norwich crown court which is thatjust at nine o'clock at norwich crown court which is that just a at nine o'clock at norwich crown court which is thatjust a few at nine o'clock at norwich crown court which is that just a few yards away from the magistrates‘ court but there will be hearing them. today‘s hearing followed quite a lot of police activity over the weekend. on saturday, a week on from the body being discovered, more than 700 people were questioned by police. they have set up roadblocks close to the scene and have talked about 700 people. there also had 170 calls from the public and said all this help them find possibly key witnesses to what might have

happened on that saturday. alexander palmer is expected to appear next in a crown court just palmer is expected to appear next in a crown courtjust a few yards away from a year. ina in a moment a summary of the business news. india and pakistan celebrates 70 years of freedom from britain. the white house defends the rash of president donald trump to violence by white supremacists at a rally in virginia amid criticism he did not typically condemn a white groups. the south korean president has asked allies to help prevent a war over the emerging north korean threat. there seems to be little hope that pay is going to rise anywhere near the rate of inflation. the latest forecast is for a average one percent rise over the next year. it‘s from the chartered institute of personnel and development.

and shopping centres... in some parts of the country, nearly one in ten retail shops now lie vacant and those in some vulnerable communities remain persistently empty, limiting the chances of these places to thrive... how much of this is down to brexit uncertainty and how much is down to growth in virtual shopping? and joined by the head of retail insight and analytics at the british consortium. looking at these figures, to get them in context, how bad are these? one in ten sounds pretty bad. from your experience with is that rank? this quarter 's figures are actually up on the previous quarter. there are more vacancies in early year. however nn historical context one in ten is not unusual although if you think about it and reflect on it it is quite a

large number of retail premises to be vacant. we are seeing at the moment a small decline in the number of people visiting shops. why do you think that is? i think the figures today highlight huge structural change that has been going on industry. the fact is we are shopping more online and we are spending more time on longer shopping trips rather than going more frequently to shops. all in all we have seen the last three years at in the long—term in footfall. we have seen the last three years at in the long-term in footfall. seed cannot see this getting any better? i don‘t think in the immediate term. —— so i don‘t think in the immediate term. —— so you can‘t see this getting any better? i think the challenges have only led to this. ordinary shopping centres and shops in the high street but retail parts are doing reasonably well. a lot of investment has gone into retail parks. we‘re changing the way we shop so often we go on changing the way we shop so often we goona changing the way we shop so often we go on a day out to shop and what

people and investors have done is build retail parks as an experience with restaurants and other things to do is people are going there to have a whole day out rather than just to do their shopping which is why they have benefited. you also mentioned the economic pressures. i mentioned that the uncertainties of brexit and fairly high levels of debt. do you think they are playing a part? i think they are playing a part? i think they are playing a part? i think the biggest thing playing a pa rt think the biggest thing playing a part as a squeeze and consumer income. it has resulted from brexit because of the considered valuation meaning that real wages have essentially grown to a halt and are now following. however i don‘t think border and 70 yet has really kicked into consumer behaviour. it is just financially more challenging for households. in other business news: exports of scottish salmon have hit a record value of £346m in the first half of the year — that‘s up 70% on the same time last year. the united states remains
