five storm as it continues ploughing towards the caribbean and the southern united states. with sustained winds of 175 rows per hour. irma is due to move over part of the leeward islands tonight. these pictures were taken from a cockpit over the caribbean. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. category five is really serious. that is the strongest hurricanes go up that is the strongest hurricanes go up to. you mentioned the sustained winds and we have even stronger gusts, two miles per hour. the uk forecast first and we started in humid conditions in the uk. with cloud and rain across parts of england and wales. this was the atmospheric scene in shropshire. the rain has been easing from here. across the north west of scotland, we have seen brighter spells and showers. perfect weather conditions

to make some of these, beautiful pictures of rainbows you have been sending so thank you for those. through the rest of today, we will keep a lot of the cloud for england and wales and it feels quite humid. patchy outbreaks rain, mostly light through the rest of the day. eventually, brighter skies across scotla nd eventually, brighter skies across scotland and northern ireland and thatis scotland and northern ireland and that is where the fresh air is so temperatures down a bit, but feeling a little bit more comfortable. overnight tonight, the last humid i will start see those humidity levels dropping, 11 or 12 degrees overnight. wednesday's forecast is probably the best day of the week weather—wise. sunny spells forecast to most of us. many of starting with almost clear blue skies but a patch of showers to cumbria and orson

scotla nd of showers to cumbria and orson scotland as well. it will feel pressure compared with recent days, temperatures 16 to 20. after wednesday's well at every quiet day, this moves out of the way and into the weekend it is low—pressure that sits over the top of the british isles. and i'm settled spell with rain or showers, some sun, through the course of thursday, friday and saturday, some fairly strong winds. check on what is going on with irma. it has been reclassified as a category five hurricane, when speaking at 210 mph. and heading straight towards antigua, maybe barbuda to the north. this is a devastating hurricane not just barbuda to the north. this is a devastating hurricane notjust in terms of the wind, there would be torrential rain. and there is the storm surge where the hurricane lifts up a wall of water from the

sea and shoves it inland. i am just over six foot, 6—foot three, the storm surge from this hurricane could reach 11 put in place so nearly twice the highs of me, this will cause widespread devastation. thank you. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime: the ministry of defence says four men arrested on suspicion of being members of a banned neo—nazi group are serving members of the army. 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. and watching bbc news. had the time is1z33pm. the world heavyweight champion anthonyjoshua has confirmed that his next fight will be in cardiff at the principality stadium on october 28th against the bulgarian kubrat pulev. joshua holds three belts and pulev is the mandatory ibf challenger. joshua last fight was

the unification spectacular bout against vladimir klitchko at wembley stadium, the ukrainian has since retired ruling out a rematch. the 36—year—old pulev has only lost one of his 26 pro—fights and that was to klitcshko two years ago. greetings, fight fans — i hope you are well. on october 28th i will be defending my ibf, wba, ipo title. defending my ibf, wba, ibo title. my opponent is game, ready, and it has been a long time coming. i can't wait to get back in the ring. joshua says all three belts are on the line, but it mayjust be the ibf by fight—night. the wba and ibo may take those titles away because he isn't facing their challengers, facing their challengers. there were world cup qualifying wins last night for northern ireland and scotland and england also stayed top of their group by beating slovakia but fifa are awaiting

the match officails report ffrom wembley after dele alli appeared to make an obscene gesture at the referee. the tottenham forward insists that it was directed towards his teamate kyle walker as a joke. i have not seen, but i have been made aware of it. they were mucking about and dele gestured towards kyle. i don't know what is visible on the picture and what the angle of the picture is. the pair of them have a strange way of communicating, but that is what they have said when it was raised. i have not seen it myself. wales will be looking to preserve the home nations 100% record over the interntaionl break. they beat austria 1—0 in cardiff on saturday, they're in kishinau for tonight's match against group d's bottom side moldova. gareth bale and his team—mates are two points behind the republic

of ireland in second spot and four adrift of leaders serbia. they play each other tonight so it's a chance for wales to make up some ground. we said we have four finals to keep our hopes alive. if we win all four we have a great chance of being top, if not into the play—offs. one down, three to go. this is still important. we will be going into the match prepared very well, very confident, and we know they will make it difficult for us but we will be giving everything to get those three points and put ourselves in an even better position. jockey davy russell has been given a four—day ban after punching a horse on the back of her head before a race in ireland last month. he was orginially given a caution but an appeals body of the turf club decided that was unduly lenient. he had argued that he wanted "the horse to concentrate". it's the first quarterfinals at the usa open, starting

later this afternoon. much later on, the big match of the day sees venus williams against petra kvitova in the women's quarterfinals. you can catch up with all the latest on the tennis pages at the bbc sport website. that's all sport for now — i'll have more in the next hour. more now on the serious case review has found that social workers allowed the needs of a woman who killed her daughter to overshadow those of the toddler. ayeeshia jayne smith, who was 21 months old, was killed by her mother kathryn in 2014, at their home in burton—on—trent. chris cloke is head of child protection for the nspcc and spoke to my colleague joanna gosling earlier on. certainly we know that child protection is a very complex difficult work and that many children are effectively protected but in this particular case, the nspcc is very concerned that there was that loss of focus on the needs of ayeesha jane. we need to address of course

all members of the family but we must remain child focused when it comes to child protection. that must be a priority and, in this case, very sadly, that focus of attention was lost. did social workers need to be more proactive in taking children out of the situation that is not a brute environment for children to be in whether it deemed they are at risk or not? yes, as a serious case review says, professionals need to be much more professionally curious. they need to be prepared to ask those difficult questions, could this child be abused? is this child vulnerable? and there are a lot of indicators in this case and cases like this when there is drug misuse, whether it's domestic violence, which are classic indicators of risk and therefore social workers and other child protection workers need to ask those questions and the same of course applies to health professionals to. to health professionals too.

there will of course be a lot of children in that particular category in homes where there are those issues. what should happen to them? their needs must be properly assessed. we need to make sure that children who are in those households are properly considered, and of course it falls to us all. all of us need to take responsibility and that includes people, our next—door neighbours, people in our street. if we have got a concern and we have a nagging doubt in our minds, we need to err on the side of caution. to pick up the phone and tell someone. they could always phone up the nspcc helpline because we are here 24—hours a day. russia's president, vladimir putin, has warned of a "global catastrophe" if military tensions with north korea continue to increase. mr putin also dismissed the value of imposing further sanctions on pyongyang, saying the country's leadership would rather eat grass than abandon its nuclear programme. meanwhile, south korea has been holding more live fire drills — and has been staging a major naval exercise off the country's east coast.

a south korean commander said the north's forces would be "buried at sea" in the event of a further provocation. the country's president says he's open to dialogue with the north — but now is not the time for talks. china, the north's main ally, is still urging caution and has called for a return to negotiations. our correspondentjohn sudworth is in dandong, on the border between china and north korea. the chinese city of dandong is a very good place to contemplate china's position in the north korean nuclear crisis. if we panel across the river you can seejust nuclear crisis. if we panel across the river you can see just how close the river you can see just how close the two countries are at this point. they are connected by that iron bridge behind me. and almost all of north korea's trade in goods as well as it's vital crude oil supply flows across the border. you can see an antiquated north korean power station on the other side, a sign of

just how dilapidated it is in energy infrastructure is. donald trump's argument is that china could if it wa nted argument is that china could if it wanted to simply force north korea into submission by turning off this lifeline. but when you look at this proximity you can see why the chinese leadership see things very differently indeed. their fear is that pushing north korea towards regime collapse will bring chaos and instability, factional infighting, possibly even war, right up against this border. and that is why beijing is insisting it will not contemplate a total trade embargo, it will not contemplate talk of military options. all it wants to see is a return to dialogue and that has been expositional along. our moscow correspondent, sarah rainsford, explained russia's position. russia's position is quite similar

to that of china. they have put forward a road map for resolving the crisis on the korean peninsula. president putin has made clear that whilst russia sees the latest nuclear test when north korea as provocative, as he puts it, and he has condemned those, he does not think sanctions are the way forward. in fact, he said the north korean leadership would prefer to eat grass than to end their nuclear programme. sanctions he said where a dead—end road but also he was very strong in terms of what he called the military hysteria that he said was being whipped up over the crisis on the korean peninsula. he said that was a road to nowhere, that this kind of rhetoric needs to end and that all sides need to return to the negotiation table. as russia sees it, that means all sides including pyongyang. and like china is pushing for a return to talks and says the only way to resolve this is through diplomacy. it is difficult at this

point to note what influence russia can bring to bear on the situation. it has very historic ties with pyongyang but in terms of economic or political leverage it is difficult at this point know how much pressure russia can actually exert on north korea. the united nations' refugee agency says there's been a surge in the number of rohingya muslims who've fled to bangladesh from neighbouring myanmar. officials say that in the past 2a hours they've identified an additional 35,000 who've arrived in bangladesh, taking the total to 123,000 in less than two weeks. the unhcr says many have walked for days without food or water. joining me now from bangladesh is vivian tan, spokesperson for the united nations high commission for refugees. good afternoon. describe conditions there at the moment. we work into existing camps, and with the new arrivals those camps are at

saturation point. there are no available spaces to take in more arrivals and so we are seeing people starting to appear or move to makeshift settlements, makeshift sites. we are seeing some spontaneous tents being set up on the side of roads and we are appealing to the authorities to work with us to provide more emergency shelter and land to build the shelters on. huge numbers of people on the move now, more than 120,000. are those numbers continuing to swell? the numbers are growing every day. it's hard to know if these are fresh arrivals crossing the border 01’ fresh arrivals crossing the border or if they arrived several days before, maybe sought assistance in local villages and then approached the different camps. it is a very fluent movement and people continue to come in. more recently we have heard about people coming notjust

by land but by boat. what kind of stories are they telling you about the journeys they have had to make? they tell horrendous stories about walking the days and days. one family walked the seven days and took a boat to cross into bangladesh. they talk about losing their loved ones in the violence in my amartey. they had to flee into the nearby mountains of the forests and trudge through terrible weather hiding all the time before they could seek safety in bangladesh. many of them have not eaten for days, they are surviving on whatever water they can find. some of them have nothing on them, they are only carrying their babies or their cellphone. some have managed to salvage something from home before fleeing. and you have to try to feed them and give them shelter. what now for them? the immediate focus is

really on providing life—saving support. as you mentioned, this involves providing shelter, a roof over their head, it means feeding them. they are very hungry, they have not eaten in days. we are working with partners, the government, and also the existing refugee community to come together, to offer them space to sleep, to offer them hot meals, to offer them guidance within the camps on where to go for medical assistance, cancelling. we are all pulling together with the limited resources we have to try to cope with this influx. but we will need more resorts is in the coming days and we will need to work closely together with the government. thank you very much forjoining us. in a moment, a summary of the business news this hour, but first the headlines on bbc news: four serving members of the army — alleged members of neo—nazi group national action — have been arrested on suspicion of preparing acts of terror. a serious case review says social

workers missed danger signs concerning toddler ayeeshia jane smith, who was stamped to death by her mother. as south korea steps up naval exercises, russia's president putin says increasing military pressure against the north may lead to global catastrophe. in the business news: a pr disaster for bell pottinger. the public relations agency is expelled from the uk trade body for the worst breach of ethics in its history after advising on speeches that blamed unemployment and inequality in south africa on white—owned businesses. new figures show britain's dominant services industry grew at its slowest pace in almost a year last month, suggesting the economy is slowing as worries grow over brexit. at the same time new car registrations fell for the fifth month in a row in august — down 6.4%. lego is to cut 8% of its workforce after reporting a drop

in first half sales. the firm said it would cut around 1,400 positions, the majority of them before the end of 2017. it comes after the firm reported a 5% fall in revenue to £1.8 billion. the company currently employs around 18,000 people. do you depend on a local store? well, figures out today from the association of convenience stores suggest that we are spending more than ever in the uk's corner shops. with sales up £500 million in the past year to £38 billions. the number of shops remains about the same but the number of people employed by the sector has fallen from 390,000 to 370,000. here to explain why is james lowman is the chief executive of the association of convenience stores. thank you forjoining us. take up that point for us, if sales are up

and dust number of stores remains the same, why are they employing less people? as you say convenience stores are becoming more relevant to consumers, people want to shop little and often in local shops rather than big superstores. but we see a decline in employment matters because three quarters of the stores in this country are run by independent retailers and they are trimming back hours as the cost of employing people goes up. they are looking to trim back the hours they employ people and working more hours themselves. the cost of that employment has gone up alongside other costs like increasing business rates are many retailers, increasing banking charges. they have to look at everything they can to cut back so at everything they can to cut back so they can keep serving the customers and working long hours and keeping investing in their businesses. could it be that some of these reduced employee figures are due to the advancement of technology

like self—service tills? due to the advancement of technology like self-service tills? to some extent. we are seeing some investment in that, more and more retailers i speak to are thinking about that. particularly more in busier areas, high streets, about that. particularly more in busierareas, high streets, rail stations. we are seeing some of that. that investment is trying to ta ke that. that investment is trying to take out cost, make transactions more efficient, make buying from wholesalers more efficient. they are looking at investment in technology to try to drive down costs. but you have to have people in the store to serve customers and that is where it isa serve customers and that is where it is a challenge to afford that. so you are the chief executive of the association. so what are your members telling you they want? do they want to employ more people or if they can do it themselves surely they will make more money? an independent retailer is not a never—ending resource. they can only work so many hours. there are many retailers we found out don't take any holiday, work more than 70 hours

any holiday, work more than 70 hours a week. we admire them but we don't think it is a sustainable model. we need a model where people can be employed to take up some of the work in the business as well. really we are saying we want the government to help us invest. the current business rates system penalises investment. if you improve your store you have to pay more in business rates and that can't be right. we want to see an adjustment to that so retailers are not penalised for that investment. we want to see the stores being allowed to continue to change. if you go back 30 or a0 yea rs change. if you go back 30 or a0 years you had lots of stand—alone post offices, off—licences. increasingly now those services are brought into convenience stores and we think we might see more of that. things like pharmacies within into convenience stores. help from the government for retailers to invest to keep providing that breadth of service. thank you. in other business news: thank you. british engineering software company aveva group is to merge with france's schneider electric. the move will create a software firm worth more than £3 billion. schneider will take a 60% stake

talktalk is considering hiving off its mobile business, according to the financial times. i'll be back with more business in an hour. some residents who escaped the grenfell fire are finally getting some of their possessions back. whilst most of the flats were totally destroyed — 33 flats on the lower floors had limited damage — meaning some belongings survived the fire. the victoria derbyshire programme has been told that, so far, 12 families from grenfell tower have received property from their old homes. one of those is 69—year—old rumayatu mamudu who escaped from the first floor in her dressing gown carrying her 12—year—old adopted grandson. ashleyjohn baptiste has been following her story. we're at a hotel in west london where some grenfell survivors are being reunited with personal possessions that survived the fire. we are here with rumayatu mamudu, a grenfell resident who we've been following since the fire. we are here to see some of the items in my flat. what thoughts do you have on that?

how are you feeling about seeing some of the items that have been in your flat at grenfell tower? mixed feelings. yeah. let's have a look. and these are possessions of mrs mamudu's from her flat at grenfell tower? that's right. do you want to have a look? would you like me to take some out? how about this one?

do you recognise it? the colour has changed. you've got your national insurance card back. you're going to need that. yay! my gemini stone. is that really important to you? it is. it my birth stone and i made it into a ring. wow, that's interesting. that's good. yes! talk to me about why you are so happy. my late husband's watch. does that not make me happy? so it's been over two months now since you lost your flat. you are still living in a hotel. but you have received some of your possessions from the flat. what sort of consolation

is that for you? to me, actually, the consolation was that i was alive. all these are materialistic things. i'm happy i got them, but my life was more important. yeah. the sooner they start letting me build my life again, the sooner there will be closure. even if i got all these things back, there is no closure because i don't have a roof. i don't have my self—respect. i don't have dignity. i have nothing. even though she has some of her jewellery back, the majority of mrs mamudu's possessions remain in the tower. she's just one of 12 families to be reunited with their belongings so far but, for the majority of residents who survived, there's nothing left to be returned. time for a look at the weather.

we started with cloud and rain but it is slowly improving. you can see some mists in shropshire. to the north—west of scotland we have seen a few showers move in with some brighter spells. perfect conditions for spotting rainbows. thank you for sending resin. through the rest of the afternoon it says quite cloudy across england and wales still with some spots of rain. rain getting lighter and more patchy through the afternoon. to the north and west some sunshine working into scotland and northern ireland. it will feel fresher here but still pretty humid across eastern counties england, perhaps feeling warmer due to the humidity. the last of the humidity

will be washed away overnight as the cloud and rain moves away from eastern counties. we will be fresh westerly winds. a few showers coming to scotland and possibly cumbria and maybe for the north coast of northern ireland. a lot of dry weather overnight and feeling fresher. tomorrow probably the best day of the week ahead. most will have lots of sunshine to start the day, some fair weather cloud but more in the way of cloud at times across the north west of scotland and again cumbria. perhaps that you have to bring some showers. the many a dry one, temperatures between 16 and 20 celsius. towards the end of the week we lose the high pressure thatis the week we lose the high pressure that is bringing the fine weather and replace it with low—pressure moving in through thursday into the weekend. the forecast looks increasingly unsettled. we are looking at rain or showers, some

bright spells but fairly blustery winds and feeling quite cool. let's look at what is going on in the caribbean. hurricane, is heading towards antigua. there are huge falls of rain and a storm surge where the harry kane lifts up the ocean surface and pushes all the sea water inland. that could reach up to 11 feetin inland. that could reach up to 11 feet in height. that will bring widespread damage to the leeward islands, the british virgin islands are also threatening the next few days. this is bbc news.
