american governments were not prepared. shall we move on? yes, there are other stories that have managed to squeeze their way onto the front pages, including the independent, a photo that of irma thrashing florida but underneath deportations of eu citizens saw, expulsions hit a record high in the year since the brexit vote. we saw a similar thing year since the brexit vote. we saw a similarthing in year since the brexit vote. we saw a similar thing in america when trump came to power. yes, with those ice agents. we are talking about almost 5000 eu citizens deported from britain in the past year, the highest on record, and it will surprise many people including brexiteers who believe you cannot report an eu citizen because the european union law, as they are a danger to security, people are being deported legally according some charities —— illegally. because they are sleeping rough and don't have a job. are there rules that if they are out of work for a certain time they are no longer... they cannot

collect benefits? will that be the deportation? you wouldn't think so but the government says we are not going to allow a hospitality to be abused and using the brexit vote as an excuse abused and using the brexit vote as an excuse to abused and using the brexit vote as an excuse to crack abused and using the brexit vote as an excuse to crack down but according to the charity is its against eu law and when michel barnier cottoned on to this, he will maybe come into the negotiations with britain with a lot more animus. another windfall rafael nadal. the us open, his second grand slam this year. —— windfall. us open, his second grand slam this year. -- windfall. it's been amazing, after all this in the age wrist problems, was astonished to see wrist problems, was astonished to see him win in france and now beating kevin anderson, we all expected him to win, i am a federer man but still the changing of the guard we are seeing in the women's game we guard we are seeing in the women's game we are guard we are seeing in the women's game we are not seeing in the men's. i was going to say because it has been called a federer— nadal clean

5:55 am
as irma continues north across the state of florida, we here in the british isles have experienced quite and that theme continues on into the forthcoming week. for a time, we'll see cool and at times windy weather and some pretty heavy downpours to boot. the concerns start as early as monday morning, especially so across wales and the south—west, where some of the gusts of wind could easily be up at around 50, if not 60mph. at the same time, those conditions could be exacerbated by some squally showers indeed. elsewhere across the british isles, how do we start the new week? ina similarvein. the wind not a concern as in wales and the south—west. but the wind will be ever present for many parts of western scotland and northern ireland and a good part of england and wales. and there will be plenty of showers to go around as well. at times, some of those showers will merge to give the odd longer spell of rain. perhaps nowhere more so than this north—eastern quarter of scotland. quite close to an area
5:56 am
of low pressure there. showers, quite sharp, they will have hail and thunder. if you see too many, you are not going to be in the mid to upper teens, closer to 10—11. out of monday and into tuesday, a little ridge of high pressure working across the british isles, tending to settle things down. this is one of the quieter days of the week, at least to start with. it will feel pleasant with less wind. 16—19, something like that. later in the day overnight into wednesday, we could see the emergence from the atlantic of a very vigorous area of low pressure gradually churning its way right across the heart of the british isles. there are already warnings from the met office about the intensity of that rain for the northern parts of england and wales and the strength of the wind. the system has the good grace to move on into the north sea, leaving behind, for the bulk of us, wednesday as another really showery day. and do you know what, we continue that theme
5:57 am
on into thursday. the wind from the north—west still quite a noticeable feature of the day. in the midst of all of this there will be sunny spells but it really won't do much for the temperatures, never better than about 12 or 13 in the north, around 17 or 18 in the south. thursday and friday, a tantalising and teasing prospect of some high pressurejust beginning to work into the west, but it probably won't keep those fronts at bay for the northern parts of britain. hello. good morning. this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. hurricane irma batters florida, as strong winds and storm surges leave at least three people dead. long stretches off the coast are flooded as the hurricane reaches the city of tampa. millions of homes are without power and authorities say the situation is still very dangerous. we are letting people know they have
