11:00 am
two men are in custody. one is a 21—year—old syrian refugee. the uk terror threat level has been reduced from critical to severe, meaning an attack is no longer considered imminent. lisa has this update. late on saturday night, a second man is arrested in the centre in connection with the tube bombing. at least three frantic officers checked him ever before he was taken away. his 21 yea rs old ever before he was taken away. his 21 years old and believed to be a syrian refugee will stop he used to live alongside the first man detained at dover. the suspect was arrested just before midnight just outside this middle east and take away. police searched the building and late last night detectives left, carrying several items for further examination. including what seemed to bea examination. including what seemed to be a television or computer monitor. it is believed the had lived in nearby stand well, very close to the perimeter of heathrow
11:01 am
airport. neighbours have described him asa airport. neighbours have described him as a quiet man who never caused any trouble. the focus of the most intensive police search is somebody, where an 18—year—old refugee shared a home with his elderly foster pa rents. a home with his elderly foster parents. these cctv images show a young man leaving the back of that house very early on friday morning with a carrier bag. later, a bucket on went up in flames on a cheap at parsons green. investigation is continuing and the terror of their level m ea ns continuing and the terror of their level means the authorities no longer believe there is a threat of imminent attack. we'll take it as scotla nd imminent attack. we'll take it as scotland yard where lisa has the latest. but first counterterrorist police
11:02 am
have been carrying out a search at a property. and as up—to—date on what has been happening. still very much an ongoing police investigation. i don't know if you can see the lilac coloured house over my right shoulder is the house in which this foster couple lived with both of the suspects so far arrested in this case. the operation is skills down slightly. there was a large accordion in place. still a very significant forensics presence. we can cut to another camera which show there are 210 in place. there is another one around the back. worth reminding you of the suspects who lived here. the 18—year—old and the 21—year—old syrian refugee. both lived at this house. she was arrested in hounslow at a chicken shop and is currently residing in
11:03 am
stand well. both of those addresses have been searched by the police but none with this scale that is ongoing at this house behind me which is perhaps an indication as well of that cctv that police relieved this really is the house in which that bomb was prepared. tell us about the wider investigation that is going on. the tea m investigation that is going on. the team are being held under the terrorism act and that means that detectives have longer than normal to question them. so what detectives will be doing now is going through all the evidence, the search is at the chicken shop as well as the searches in surrey. that will all constitute part of the evidence. and
11:04 am
what detectives are saying at the moment is that they are making progress and there are still and of a lot more to do. we may expect peace to come out and make a statement or give us a summary of how the investigation is going but the focus of the investigation does seem to be at a property where both these two individuals, one from syria and won an iraqi refugee, once lived with foster parents known for fostering hundreds of children. that houston seems to be the focal point of the investigation so far. in the last few minutes footballer wayne rooney has been banned from driving for two years and sentenced to 100 hours of community service after admitting a charge of drink—driving. let's go to ollie who is outside stockport magistrates court. a
11:05 am
pretty brief hearing after that guilty plea. absolutely. he pleaded guilty after that to rest in what was the early hours of friday morning. the 1st of september. he was found to be driving over the prescribed legal limits, a black vw beetle and a 29—year—old office worker who was also in the vehicle, it emerged today that she was three times over the legal limit of 35 micrograms. he was found to have 104 micrograms in his system and the districtjudge here said that this was of course a very, very serious matter, endangering his own life and other road users as well. we are expecting wayne rooney to receive a very hefty fine you have to go back one year to the manchester city captain who was fined a record amount. but the judge
11:06 am
here felt that a fine would not be appropriate at all because it would not mean anything to wayne rooney. instead he has received 100 hours of community service over the next 12 months as well as the two—year driving ban. that was reduced from 150 hours community service. we presume for the guilty plea. he said nothing as he left. nor did he when he arrived here at stockport magistrate's court. but he has come out with a statement that he has released and he said following today's court hearing i want publicly to apologise for my unforgivable lack of judgment publicly to apologise for my unforgivable lack ofjudgment in driving while over the legal limit. it was completely wrong. i have already apologised to everyone and wa nt to already apologised to everyone and want to apologise to the fans and eve ryo ne want to apologise to the fans and everyone else. of course, i will
11:07 am
accept the sentence of the court and i hope that i can make some amends through my community service. just mentioning the club there, his manager said he was very disappointed in the days following his arrest on the 1st of september. he said they would deal with the matter internally and it emerged in court that he is going to be fined two weeks wages by his club. but the court just decided two weeks wages by his club. but the courtjust decided that a two—year sentence, a driving ban, a two—year driving ban and that 100 hours of community service is what he should be punished for that drink—driving. thank you for bringing us up to date. michael gove has backed boris johnson in the ongoing spat with the chair of the johnson in the ongoing spat with the chairof the uk johnson in the ongoing spat with the chair of the uk statistics authority over whether the nhs will get a financial windfall from brexit. biting on twitter, michael gove said, in the debate on eu contributions... the foreign secretary asserted in an
11:08 am
article in the uk stood to control £250 million a week after leaving the eu. but head of the uk statistics watchdog said he was surprised and disappointed to see mr johnson restate the controversial claim. let's cross to our assistant political editor who has been taking a look at all of this for us. you have those in the boris: and those criticising him for what he said in that article but really the big picture is what is going to happen to his position in government? and more importantly, is all of this going to have any influence on theresa may's speech in italy later this week? that is the question. how far higher key speech in florence later this week when she wants to reach out to
11:09 am
other eu countries, to try to pave the way for some sort of gradual transition. how far that has been compromised by the tensions, the disagreements, the public utterances from different cabinet ministers because we now have michael gove rallying to mrjohnson's defence, saying just read his article. ignore the headlights. you've got to be more forward thinking. in other words, borisjohnson more forward thinking. in other words, boris johnson is more forward thinking. in other words, borisjohnson is trying to put a more positive, optimistic, upbeat spin on brexit. let's all get behind that. contrast that with amber rudd yesterday describing borisjohnson as a back—seat driver, and entertainment, questioning the timing of his intervention are saying it was typical boris. and that, i think, saying it was typical boris. and that, ithink, when saying it was typical boris. and that, i think, when still what is a fairly marched dividing the cabinet over the approach to brexit with those like philip hammond, amber wright and perhaps david davis now pushing for what you might call a
11:10 am
status quo transition where we lead and not much changes. in order to secure continued access to the single market we are ready to pay large sums to guarantee that continued access. boris johnson, large sums to guarantee that continued access. borisjohnson, on the other hand, very, very unhappy about that. so after the transition we should not be paying cash for continued access and suggesting that britain pretty much could manage on its own. and interestingly, we have the former cabinet minister this morning on the today programme, also backing mrjohnson's stance. many of us don't think there is any moral or political or legal reason to go on paying them once we have left. indeed, ithink to go on paying them once we have left. indeed, i think it would be illegal to go on paying them once we have left. and i find it very odd how many people there are around government, in official circles and advising government to seem to think the british people want to pay a lot of money to the eu after we have resigned. why this matters is because of that
11:11 am
key speech in florence. what is the message that other noodles will take from this cabinet disunity. they will have a sense of this should be listening to the foreign secretary 01’ listening to the foreign secretary or to the chancellor. secondly how can mrs may and florence keep both sides happy? can she reach out to other european countries and trying get the breakthrough in the stalled brexit negotiations and that the same time keep the likes of boris johnson happy i was you have to come down on one side of the other in florence? the liberal democrat leader, sir vince cable, has said he thinks there's an appetite in the country for "moderate, common sense, middle of the road politics." speaking from the lib dem autumn conference in bournemounth, sir vince said politics
11:12 am
was in "an extraordinary state of flux" and there is a possibility that he could be the next prime minister. it is possible rather than probable but it is a realistic ambition for me to aim for. we're the third party in the uk and of the conservative party continued to disintegrate with the infighting we are seeing over europe and the civil war and the labour party reignites all sorts of changes are possible. i am there and we're there is a party to take up the reins for the millions and millions of people of this country who want competent middle—of—the—road sensible government. the headlines on bbc newsroom live: police are questioning two men in connection with friday's tube bomb attack — one is believed to be 21—year—old ya hyah farroukh. wayne rooney has been banned from driving for two years, and sentenced to a hundred hours of community service, after he pleads guilty
11:13 am
to a charge of drink driving. the head of the uk statistics watchdog is standing by his criticism of borisjohnson, in a row over how much money the nhs could get after brexit. they everton boss says more people need to be realistic about their chances this season. wayne rooney and co lost 4—0 against manchester united yesterday. united arejoint leaders of the premier league, while everton are third from bottom. lewis hamilton is getting closer to a fourth world title after he won the singapore grand prix yesterday, and his championship rivals sebastian vettel — along with his ferrari teammate kimi raikkonen — crashed out after a first corner collision. heather watson's disappointing
11:14 am
season has continued. the british number two was knocked out in the first round of the seoul open, losing in three sets to sara sorribes tormo. a storm that'll hit the caribbean tonight is strengthening into a hurricane, that's the warning from american weather forecasters. ‘maria' — as it's known — is the second powerful storm in the region in two weeks. it's expected to affect the british and us virgin islands and puerto rico by the middle of the week. bbc weather's tomasz schafernaker has all the details we area we are a part of the season so no surprise that are so busy. we also have to jose surprise that are so busy. we also have tojose regain affecting the reason. maria potentially turning into a very powerful allocating over the next 48 hours. domenico could be in the front line for the cordoba storm as it moves through the
11:15 am
ireland is the worst part of the storm oozed turbo perhaps misses the islands. perhaps a bit too to say. what happens beyond that? it is not exactly the same path as irma but it is the same region. as it heads towards puerto rico there was a lot of warm water and the favourable environment for the atmosphere for it to intensify. then it might pass the dominican republic amending the south east part of the bahamas. irma try it this way and hugged cuba. this one is curling a little bit forward towards the north. the problem is these islands which have suffered so badly from irma england to another storm which could reach category three of four which is
11:16 am
powerful enough to cause a lot of traction and with that will come the storm surge and with that a lot of rainfall. still some uncertainty with the star might drift a bit further north or south but there is pretty much agreement with the computer models we will once again see potentially a lot of bad news coming from this part of the world in the next 36 48 hours. that is timescale. there's been a big increase in the number of prosecutions for the online sexual grooming of children using evidence supplied by so—called paedophile hunters. in 2014, 11% of cases featured material gathered by the groups — by last year that figure had risen to 44%. jon cuthill has this report. the police say paedophile hunters are vigilantes. they pose as children online,
11:17 am
film their meetings with people who groom them, and post their videos on social media. you've arranged to meet a 14—year—old boy here today, for sex? no. you have — do you want me to get the cellphone out and show you? the police are on their way. i'm a paedophile hunter, mate. that's what i do. you are under citizen's arrest. in 2014, 11% of cases for meeting a child following sexual grooming contained paedophile hunter evidence. two years later, that has grown to 44%. look, i think that's an embarrassing figure for british policing. look at the success that's being achieved. recognise, of course, the dangers of vigilante behaviour, but then do something about it. bring it within the criminaljustice system. will there ever be a situation where they could work together with police? i think it's something that we'll potentially have to look at. but it comes with complexity, not least of all the psychological screening that the professionals go through, to make sure that these people are still not being adversely affected by this. whilst i'm going to have to look at it, the risks are really significant, and cannot be understated. i will not condone these groups, and i would encourage them to stop. but i recognise that i'm not
11:18 am
winning that conversation, and i'm not winning that moral argument. the man caught by this southampton—based hunter pleaded guilty, and is injail awaiting sentencing. you can watch more on this on ‘inside out‘ at half past 7 tonight on bbc one in the south of england, and it will be on the iplayer afterwards. let's look at some of today's other developing stories: four schoolboys have been arrested on suspicion of the murder of a man in leicester. it's in connection with the death of a man in his 60s, who was found injured on king street in leicester on saturday september the second. he died later. three 14—year—old boys and a 15—year—old have been arrested. police in the us state of georgia have shot and killed an lgbt student activist, leading to an independent investigation.
11:19 am
police encountered scout schultz at a campus in atlanta after a call about "a person with a knife and a gun" late on saturday, officials say. footage has emerged apparently showing schultz, 21, refusing to obey multiple police commands to drop a knife. schultz's mother said police should not have used lethal force. us president donald trump will makes his first appearance at the united nations in new york today. in the past mr trump has described the un as a ‘club for people to get together, talk and have a good time' — and he's set to address a meeting on reforming the organisation. it's understood the trump administration wants to streamline the bureaucracy at the un and get other countries to cover more of the costs, particularly for peacekeeping. a third day of protests has turned violent in the american city of st louis following the acquittal of a white former police officer who killed a black man, anthony lamar smith in 2011. police broke up the demonstration when some protesters began
11:20 am
throwing objects at officers and breaking shop windows. several people have been arrested. an investigation for the victoria derbyshire programme has found that animal welfare is being neglected on long journeys across europe amid a booming livestock trade. it's been discovered livestock hauliers have been routinely breaking eu laws for the protection of animals in transit. animal rights groups are calling for a ban on journeys of more than eight hours. thousands of passengers have been left stranded at new zealand's biggest airport, after a pipeline leak caused a shortage of jet fuel. dozens of flights out of auckland have been cancelled. the pipeline bringing fuel to the airport was accidentally damaged by a digger on a farm. for a full summary of the news you can go to our website where you'll be able to get more details on all the day's top stories. 20 years ago today, the people of wales voted
11:21 am
for devolution and the creation of a national assembly. today the welsh secretary alun cairns says that wales needs to respond to modern challenges and that more powers should be handed to welsh regions — rather than ministers controlling everything from cardiff. our wales political editor nick servini is in cardiff for us. the real devolution has been a success , the real devolution has been a success, given that a vote in the first place was carried by really tiny majority? it is worth reflecting on the figures. exactly 20 years ago it was a dramatic night and it was a week after scotland had voted convincingly for devolution but on the night in wales it was just a but on the night in wales it was justa margin but on the night in wales it was just a margin of 6721 votes to be
11:22 am
precise in which those who supported devolution managed to win the case. it went right down to the wire with a final vote in carmarthenshire and south—west wales that carried the day. the fact that people were so split in wales i think had huge influence with the development of devolution in that time. and i think that the half in which there was a pretty generous cash increases from the westminster government in terms of the financial settle m e nts government in terms of the financial settlements that they had it was all about persuading people about the merits of devolution so we saw things like free prescriptions in wales and free school breakfasts and free bus passes for the elderly. i think the second half has been much more difficult financial settlements from westminster and an element of expectation management, the hard yards after a public service delivery and reform which has clearly been a major challenge. in
11:23 am
terms of the relationship people of ha rd terms of the relationship people of hard i think people broadly except now the building behind me and they are decisions that are made by the welsh government but all too often it is the lack of enthusiasm and turnout rates are still below 50% in assembly elections so an element today of retrospection and all sorts of views and voices and an assessment of the record of devolution is still a hot point of debate in wales. what is next for devolution in wales? in that time, right from the start it was in charge of areas like health and education and the line should have the fund went in that direction and then there was a referendum which was passed for direct lawmaking powers and the future is very much in the direction of tax—raising powers so in the direction of tax—raising powers so that will be a welsh version of stamp duty and partial
11:24 am
control of income tax. that is a kind of direction it is going. in terms of tax—raising that is the responsibility of the remote possibility of the public knowing the decisions made by the welsh government for the first time could for the first time affect personal finances. you mentioned brexit. that is the centre of the big constitutional debate and a battle really going on between the welsh government and the uk government. it matters what happens in scotland. the first minister carwynjones was giving a speech defending the wreck of devolution and he believes one of the big challenges what happens to all the eu legislation after brexit. including areas like agriculture which is a devolved matter. the welsh government say it should come here instead of going to westminster and the accusation it is a power grab. the uk government response which has been well rehearsed now is that this is the most responsible
11:25 am
and simple way to cut it brexit. that is a flavour of the constitutional debates we're seeing now between the welsh government and the uk government and really part of a never—ending constitutional debate that has happened since the start of devolution. a couple of lines to bring you. comments from the spokeswoman for theresa may. she has this would about what is happening with boris johnson and this would about what is happening with borisjohnson and his comments on brexit of the weekend. the spokeswoman saying the foreign secretary boris johnson spokeswoman saying the foreign secretary borisjohnson and theresa may are united behind the government plan for brexit. as well as mrs may ‘stop plan for brexit. as well as mrs may ‘s top team of ministers. and the spokeswoman saying that the prime minister values the contribution of all her cabinet colleagues. not really seeing a huge amount they are. a bit of a holding pattern but suggestions that there is a lot more
11:26 am
going on behind the scenes. but those comments fairly anodyne and really a holding pattern as the two meet in new york at the united nations assembly this week and head of the big speech by theresa may and florence this friday. time now for the weather forecast. a fairly quiet day ahead. we can look forward to some sunshine but the risk of a few showers as we go into the afternoon. quite a few showers across eastern parts of the uk. you can see on the satellite picture. a fairfew parts of the uk. you can see on the satellite picture. a fair few breaks in the cloud that allow sunny spells to but despite the sunshine it is really cool out and about today and blustery with the shows in the east. a few rolling in to wales. otherwise it isa a few rolling in to wales. otherwise it is a dry story across parts of scotla nd it is a dry story across parts of scotland with highs of around 11 degrees to eight celsius. during the night they will want the wayside. underneath the clear skies will be a
11:27 am
chilly night with frost forming and potential for mist and fog forming as well. seven to around 12 celsius. tomorrow a ridge of high pressure building and probably the best day of the week. a lot of dry and bright weather to look forward to. we might see the clyde increase across northern ireland as we head to the afternoon. otherwise a lovely day with plenty of sunshine and temperatures up to about 90 celsius. -- 19. this is bbc newsroom live. a fried chicken shop in west london is among properties being searched in connection with friday's bomb attack. police are questioning two men, with one believed to be 21—year—old ya hyah farroukh. wayne rooney has plead guilty to a charge of drink driving at a court in stockport. the footballer has been sentenced to 100 hours of unpaid work

11:29 am
former united striker wayne rooney in their side, were beaten 4—0 at old trafford yesterday. antonio valencia opened the scoring, before three late goals — including one from former everton striker romelu lukaku — ended the contest. united are nowjoint top of the table with manchester city. but it's now four straight defeats for everton, 12 goals conceded, and no goals scored... ifa if a doting life. my colleague told about everton. —— every manager has doubts in life. if that is anybody in this room and outside who sees something realistic what is possible for this everton, please come up. chelsea are now five points behind united, after being held to a 0—0 draw at home to arsenal. the away side had a goal
11:30 am
disallowed for offiside, while chelsea defender david luiz was sent off for a high tackle late on in the game. we have a bad wreck a tearful they have a good record at home. i took the players to focus on solidarity and that was good. —— we have a bad record here. there was good news for gareth bale last night. the welshman was booed by his own real madrid fans during a match on wednesday, but it didn't seem to bother him as he scored this spectacular goal in a 3—1win at real sociedad. bale's side are fourth in la liga at the moment. lewis hamilton took a big step towards a fourth world title yesterday, after coming from fifth place to win the singapore grand prix. it couldn't have been a better day for hamilton, as his championship rival sebastian vettel crashed out after a first corner collision, along with his ferrari team mate kimi raikkonnen and red bull's max verstrappen. it means that the briton has a lead of 28 points in the drivers standings, withjust six races remaining.
11:31 am
heather watson's disappointing season has continued at the seoul open. the british number two was knocked out in the first round by sara sorribes tormo, who won in three sets. watson — who had moved back into the top 100 this year — has now failed to get past the first round in korea in four attempts. ahead of the one—day series against the west indies starting tomorrow at old trafford former england captain andrew flintoff says he believes the current england squad is the "best ever". speaking on breakfast this morning flintoff backed new captainjoe root. who's got the perfect thing to do it with. i think they are the best thing to we have ever had. he is already a more successful england captain than that i ever was. it
11:32 am
will be a tough winter with the ashes. that's all sport for now, i'll be back in the 12 hour. police are conducting an intensive search of a house in surrey where two men suspected of involvement in the tube bombing in london on friday are thought to have lived. both men remain under arrest and officers have searched a fast food shop in hounslow and another house in stanwell in surrey. doctor evan lawrence is a counterterrorism expert. from what you have seen of this attack was there anything different or unusual about this? ordid there anything different or unusual about this? or did it strike you as about this? or did it strike you as a kind of attack that was a relatively low—tech attack. the kind of attack we have seen before?”
11:33 am
think this is very similar to things we have seen before. it is the same kind of thing we saw in manchester but also the same kind of processes involved in radicalising that we have seen in all of the attacks this year. from london bridge to the ones here in manchester. they are all linked in being this kind of law actor inspired by this type of attack. that makes it harder for the police and the security services to thwart these. we have seen an increase in attacks in the last 12 months. those have been carried out about many others have been stopped on their tracks as well. how do you begin to tackle radicalisation in the light of these low—tech attacks
11:34 am
involving a small number of people are indeed individuals in some cases? that is a really difficult question and thank one that we have not really gotten to the heart of yet. police and our security services are very good at stopping the bigger attacks where there are lots of moving pieces and places to intervene. but what we're seeing adults loan actor types weather is not a whole lot of notice ahead of time of them being involved and being able to become aware to the police so i think probably need to start looking at is why the police are having this problem. and that comes down to we're expecting the police to do everything. for the past 20 years they have really had the purview of dealing with terrorism. but realistically the job
11:35 am
is to stop crime. so what you're saying is more needs to happen perhaps in terms of the education sector and we before it gets to the stage of police involvement? absolutely. we are missing that other police. —— other piece police doa other police. —— other piece police do a good job we need to start looking at why people are radicalised in the first place matters to do with the societal issues that push people into radicalising. and it to start thinking about education and resilience and teaching those kind of things to young people surveyed do not get caught in this kind of web of vulnerability, if you will. death threats, verbal abuse and online intimidation. that's what people who had hoped to win a seat in the house of commons faced during the general election this year. a survey of mps by bbc radio
11:36 am
five live suggests 87% of them suffered some form of abuse with many saying this year's campaign was the worst ever. the official spokeswoman for the pro minister said the abuse of candidates was the worst win—mac unacceptable. our political correspondent chris mason has been studying the findings. a defaced poster with a reference to hitler, foul language, graffiti, that we have blurred out. alex has been a conservative mp in west yorkshire since 2010. i think it is noticeable in this election, the anger, the nasty mess, the way it was organised in a way —— nastiness. it was in before. having fascist nazi scum written on a poster is so far from the reality of what
11:37 am
politics is about today. i worry that it is sending messages to young people of forgetting what nazi ideology was about. ben bradley is the first conservative to win mansfield in nottinghamshire he is giving up twitter because of abuse and is stepping up security in his home. give us a sense of what you have had to put up with in this campaign beyond political discussion. i got a lot of phone calls with no one on the end of it when i answered. there were people knocking on my door. it is scary in a way, notjust for me, but my young children. a hand delivered letter made and aggressive point to me and it was delivered to my house. it was very critical.
11:38 am
it makes me realise someone was walking down my driveway with my children at home. it is scary. i have been a reporter here for over a decade, and i have not found a politician who does not like a good argument. this goes beyond that. a man coming into my office threatening to bomb it. bottles smashed on me, says another. my windows have been broken three times. i have been threatened with being burnt to death. one day i received some abuse from a website on facebook. i logged on. it was strange, a compulsion to see what people are saying about you. people say do not look, do not look. but i find that difficult. someone had mocked a picture of me as a used sanitary towel.
11:39 am
i remember feeling absolutely revolted. a few friends saw it and i felt angry. vandalism, abuse, threats, these are the things people fear will put off people going into politics. two men who boasted about being the biggest distributors of nuisance text messages in the uk have been exposed as part of a bbc investigation. andrew horner—glister and barry sanders admitted they used to harass people with up to two million text messages a day. jonathan gibson reports. these men say they used to send more nuisance text messages than anyone
11:40 am
else. we did that for years. we were probably the largest in the uk. the scale of their operation is revealed as pa rt the scale of their operation is revealed as part of a bbc investigation. almost 700 people would not reply to the messages. so they had to send out millions of m essa 9 es they had to send out millions of m essa g es to they had to send out millions of messages to make what they were doing a worthwhile. according to the text m essa g e doing a worthwhile. according to the text message regulator, they were breaking the law. it said stop sending in 2012. and i caught up the former director, he did not want to talk about it. i have got nothing to say. barry sanders and his co—director
11:41 am
did not respond to the bbc‘s repeated interview requests. their company is no longer trading. and you can watch the full investigation on bbc inside out at half past 7 tonight on bbc one in the west midlands, it will be on the iplayer shortly afterwards. well also at the un — it's due to present a report later into alleged crimes by myanmar‘s security forces against rohingya muslims. the country's de facto leader, aung san suu kyi, is being told that she has one "last chance" to end the military offensive that's forced 400—thousand rohingyas to flee to neighbouring bangladesh. tomorrow she is due to address her nation. our correspondentjonathan head reports from a refugee camp at cox's bazar, just over the border in bangladesh. this is the size of one of only two officially recognised camps, recognised by the bangladeshi government here. it only holds a few
11:42 am
tens of thousands of people. but in fa ct, tens of thousands of people. but in fact, this is not the official camp. this is an extension, which is developed here over the last ten or 20 years. as more and more people are flown in. a total of 400,000 people who've settled here. most of them have no official documentation, they have never mission. they are in many ways a stateless and as vulnerable here in bangladesh as they were back in the armagh. as the scam continues to grow it still cannot accommodate the enormous numbers who have arrived here in the last three weeks. the equivalent of the entire tabuena population that was already have, arriving in just a short space of time. if you look over on the side, these houses have only been built in the last few days. in fact, this was just an empty field three weeks ago. so all those people pouring in and coming to the existing camps. many of the informal camp extensions, trying to find him. as you can see, they have

filled every available space. these camps were unbearably overcrowded before this influx. the situation is frankly unsustainable and intolerable for now. so the big question is, what is going to happen to the rohingya population in bangladesh now? to the rohingya population in bangladesh now? in a moment a summary of the business news this hour but first — the headlines on bbc newsroom live: police are questioning two men in connection with friday's tube bomb attack — one is believed to be 21—year—old ya hyah farroukh. wayne rooney has been banned from driving for two years, and sentenced to a hundred hours of community service, after he pleads guilty to a charge of drink driving. the head of the uk statistics watchdog is standing by his criticism of borisjohnson, in a row over how much money the nhs could get after brexit. these are the top business stories. firms who fail to pay the minimum wage — predominantly employ women,

11:45 am
it comes after the airline announced over the weekend that 40 to 50 flights were being cancelled every day for the next six weeks because it messed up its staff leave. and passengers are increasingly angry that the firm hasn't said exactly which flights will be cancelled. simon calder is travel editor of the independent newspaper and has been explaining what's going on. i have been trying for most of the weekend commercially, to find out what is going on. all that we can really go on at the moment is what ryanair have told us which is that due to a kind of an administrator change in the league calendar, they're suddenly faced with a number of pilots, as well as cabin crew, having to take their vacations right now, or between now and christmas. now, in terms of the heavy demand on pilots, that really continues until the end of october when we go into
11:46 am
the end of october when we go into the winter schedules when there is much less demand. now, that might sound a little bit odd because many people and local businesses would say, well, you throw money at the. you just say, we will by your leave. works overtime or whatever. but there are private stipulations about there are private stipulations about the maximum number of hours they can work. it is very complicated but what is unprecedented is an issue like this should lead to the cancellation of 50 flights a day. that is affecting typically 9000 passengers and i calculate that between now and the edible kirby grabbed 400,000 passengers who won't be where they want to be. already just this weekend we have about 30,000 people waking up in various parts of europe not where they intended to be. i wish we could give you a bit more clarity on the flights affected but there simply isn't any clarity yet. a lot of you getting in touch with us a lot of you getting in touch with us this morning about plans that you have made advice you have booked that you do not know if they will go ahead. it seems we will get an up date at some point. it seems we will get an up date at some point. it is said that the workers were

12:03 pm
told that he's moving into the cabinet office to work more directly for the prime minister. our political editor laura croons about reports that it is understood that had been tension between mr robins and the brexit secretary, david davis. ——kuenssberg. he has quit the role after just over a davis. ——kuenssberg. he has quit the role afterjust over a year in the job and moved into the cabinet office to work more directly for the prime minister. let's cross to norman smith. one can't imagine that the top brexit the show would be leaving hisjob at the top brexit the show would be leaving his job at this time unless there was some serious underlying issue forcing the move —— official. there have been reports of
12:04 pm
difficulties between mr robbins and david davis and that may be a factor in it. the official line is that downing street simply want to bring mr robins over so we can work more closely with the pro minister by chav to say that is more uncertainty and more disruption and if you are and more disruption and if you are an eu negotiator you must i be scratching your head and just wondering what on earth is going on. who are they actually meant to be negotiating with across the table? on top of that of course who is actually setting government policy. is the pro minister? is it boris johnson? that sense of the lack of clarity about the strategy for brexit that the british government is pursuing i think must be leaving many people are the political side in europe utterly confused because what we hear from them is they want clarity and purpose and speed in the negotiations. it is difficult to
12:05 pm
have any of that when you get different messages and no seemingly different messages and no seemingly different personnel involved in the negotiation. one would think from the point of view of the government ata time the point of view of the government at a time of uncertainty they would wa nt to at a time of uncertainty they would want to project an image of stability and continuity and clearly mr robins leaving hisjob does not convey that. who on earth is going to ta ke convey that. who on earth is going to take over, especially ahead of theresa may is important speech of this freudian florence? one may be charitable reading of it is that theresa may was to take a tighter grip over sight of brexit and once to bring mr robins across because he has a grasp of the details. that is charitable interpretation of that. one other interpretation as things got too difficult between robbins mr davies. we are running up against a
12:06 pm
positive pivotal speech. it would be barely worse with boris johnson intervention and a spat with the authority and know this. underlining this is the question can theresa may make that big offer? can she reach out to the other eu countries, possibly by signalling the sort of sums of money we might be prepared to pay to them? can she reach out to them, given the clear unhappiness of borisjohnson them, given the clear unhappiness of boris johnson and others them, given the clear unhappiness of borisjohnson and others in his party at the thought that they could carry on paying significant sums of money? will that compromise her ability to make that big breakthrough speech? let's just reflect a bit more on the departure of oliver robbins from this role. how important was he? he was important because he's the numbers man, the detail man. david davis is
12:07 pm
somewhat fronted the press conference and could put a positive gloss on how everything was going. in terms of the nitty—gritty and putting it all together that was oliver robbins, it was hisjob putting it all together that was oliver robbins, it was his job to do the numbers and do the detail here at the negotiations. i sense that it's for the europeans know one. they have had enough of the big picture and they have haired how we wa nt to picture and they have haired how we want to have a deep and special relationship and how we want to be good friends with europe and how we are leaving the eu and we're not leaving europe. that is all fine and dandy. they have got the big picture. what they want is the detail, the detail on money and on eu nationals and the northern ireland border and that is the sort of logjam before britain can move to the phase really want to move to which is the trade relationship. i
12:08 pm
presume this temporarily means something in the gap intercede.” see philip rycroft has been appointed by trees are made to the top role in the brexit department. _by top role in the brexit department. —— by theresa may. he was second—in—command and has been moved up second—in—command and has been moved up and promoted. that provides some continuity but for robbins it is a curious move as he was permanent secretary. he is now an adviser as i understand to the prime minister in the cabinet office and which from where i'm sitting looks like a demotion. but we will have to see how that pans out. i suppose on the plus side that is an element of continuity know which is absolutely crucial. i would've thought that bringing somebody who is not part of the tops after three or four rounds of talks would seem to be an awful state learning curve for somebody to pick up that as i say i think the
12:09 pm
real question is how far this is going to lead the other eu countries wondering whether we actually have a grip ona wondering whether we actually have a grip on a better strategy of whether we arejust grip on a better strategy of whether we are just lifting rather aimlessly without a clear focus on what it is we're trying to achieve and how we're trying to achieve and how we're going to it. norman, we're just seeing a statement from the department for exiting the eu regarding oliver robbins. a government spokesman says in order to strengthen cross government coordination of the next phase of negotiation with the european union the prime minister has appointed oliver robbins as her eu adviser the cabinet office and will continue to lead the official site of the british working closely with the obama for exiting the european union. this very much tallies with what you are saying about theresa may wanting to shore up her position as she heads into the next phase of brexit negotiations. also talking
12:10 pm
about the cross departmental coordination, the role he will have. we will be moving face with all sorts of different moving parts and you know something like seven different brexit bills involving different brexit bills involving different departments covering everything from trade to customs to agricultural to fisheries, you name it. you do need someone who has oversight over all of that. i just say that at this absolutely pivotal moment in the negotiations on the eve of theresa may hopefully making a big breakthrough speech and brexit, the timing seems pretty extraordinary to pluck from the side of david davis the man who has all the numbers and all the details in his head and is supposed to be hammering together the nitty—gritty of the deal. that is what you call a moving story as we speak. norman smith at westminster for us. everton footballer and former england captain, wayne rooney has been banned from driving for two years, and sentenced to a hundred hours of community

12:13 pm
decided that would be suitable punishment. wayne rooney came out of the ppp had written statement that this release. following today's court hearing i want publicly to apologise for my unforgivable lack ofjudgment. i apologise for my unforgivable lack of judgment. i have apologise for my unforgivable lack ofjudgment. i have already said sorry to my family and manager and chairman and everyone at everton football club. remember he isjust rejoined his boyhood club. he he wa nts to rejoined his boyhood club. he he wants to wants to apologise to all the fans and everyone else who followed and supported him throughout his career. he said he accepts throughout his career. he said he a cce pts a throughout his career. he said he accepts a sentence and hopes he can make some amends to distributed servers. it also emerged in court that he is expecting to be fined two weeks wages by his club, everton. his manager, ronald koeman, had already publicly expressed his disappointment in the drink—driving arrest and wayne rooney is lawyer says his client expects to pick up

the breaking news coming from the courts are cyclist who struck and killed a woman on an e. london st in february last year while riding a bike with no breaks has been sentenced to 18 months in a young offenders institution. charlie alliston is 20 years old. he has been lured away from the court to start his 18 month sentence. it was the first time that somebody who struck and killed a pedestrian while riding a bike was actually charged with manslaughter and it to some legal wrangling for this case to actually come to court. seven months to charge him and then another months to actually get the
12:26 pm
case complete after a trial. and he was actually acquitted of the manslaughter but he was convicted of causing harm i want an all furious driving. this is a rather unusual charge that came from legislation passed in the victorian era, going back to 1861, that was aimed at horse and carriage drivers and the problem identified by the crown prosecution service that there isn't really a ny prosecution service that there isn't really any legislation available to charge a cyclist in such a circumstance as this when they knocked down killed and a pedestrian. characters such as dangerous driving apply only to motorists. people driving a vehicle, a car ora motorists. people driving a vehicle, a car or a lorry. so there was some doubt about whether this case would ever come to trial. this is something of a test case. the department for transport is looking at what the indications are that the legislation involving cyclists and drivers, when it comes to the protection of pedestrians in this way. but as you said, charlie, now 20, has an sentenced to 18 months in
12:27 pm
a young offenders institution for the harm of the person he called for the harm of the person he called for the notre dame. the maximum sentence available to the judge was two yea rs. thank you. let's catch up with the weather forecast. it is max taylor. good morning. we're stuck in aisha rewrite at the moment. we are struggling to lose though clouds. winds coming down from the north, rather cool. the speckled cloud here in the southern north sea, east anglia and even towards the channel islands where we could see heavy and thundery downpours through the rest of today. those thunderstorms will be fairly fleeting though there will be some sunshine in between. away from that, a lot more cloud across parts of eastern scotland, northern england. patchy rain and drizzle here. showers in the west but lighter and fewer in numbers. a generally cool
12:28 pm
day. through tonight the outbreaks of rain and drizzle across england and wales will boost away southwards. a few showers in the west into the morning. clear skies, light winds. it will be another fresh start to tuesday. temperatures could be down close to freezing across parts of scotland. after that lovely fresh start it will be a fine day. one of two isolated showers. the vast majority stayed right through tuesday. and temperatures 15-18. so through tuesday. and temperatures 15—18. so pleasant enough when you have got that sunshine ever had. something milder on the way for the middle part of the week but some rain. details on that in half an hour. this is bbc newsroom live. a fried chicken shop in west london is among properties being searched in connection with friday's bomb attack. police are questioning two men, with one believed to be 21—year—old ya hyah farroukh. wayne rooney has pleaded guilty to a charge of drink driving
12:29 pm
at a court in stockport. the footballer has been sentenced to 100 hours of unpaid work and received a two year ban on driving. the prime minister says that the government — including foreign secretary boris johnson — are united behind brexit, amid a row in which mrjohnson was accused of "backseat driving". the top official at the department for exceeding the european union, oliver robins, has left his post amid claims of tensions between him and the brexit secretary. she will be moving to work directly for the prime minister and the cabinet office. hurricane maria is expected to hit caribbean islands later today — some of which are still recovering from the damage caused by hurricane irma. and this year's emmy awards in los angeles saw big wins for hulu's series the handmaid's tale and hbo's big little lies death threats, verbal abuse and online intimidation.
12:30 pm
that's what people who had hoped to win a seat in the house of commons faced during the general election this year. a survey of mps by bbc radio five live suggests 87 percent of them suffered some form of abuse with many saying this year's campaign was the worst ever. our political correspondent chris mason has been studying the findings. a defaced poster with a reference to hitler, foul language, graffiti, that we have decided to blob out. alec shelbrooke has been a conservative mp in west yorkshire since 2010. what i do think it is noticeable in this election was the anger, the nastiness, the way it was organised nastiness in a way it was in before. "fascist nazi scum" written on a poster is so far
12:31 pm
from the reality of what politics is about today that i worry that it is sending messages to young people of forgetting what nazism and what fascism actually was about. ben bradley is the first conservative to ever win the seat of mansfield in nottinghamshire. he has given up on twitter because of abuse and is stepping up security in his home. give me some sense of the kind of thing you had to put up with during the election campaign which you felt strayed beyond political discussion. i got a lot of phone calls with nobody on the end of it when i answered. there were people knocking on my door. it is scary in a way, notjust for me, but my young children. i had a hand delivered letter that made an aggressive point to me and it was hand—delivered
12:32 pm
to my house. it makes me realise someone was walking down my driveway with my children at home. it is a scary prospect. i have been a reporterfor over a decade, and i have not found a politician who does not like a good argument. this goes beyond that. does a man coming into my office threatening to bomb it count? bottles smashed on me, says another. my windows have been broken three times. i have been threatened with being burnt to death. one day, i had received some abuse from a website on facebook. i logged on. it was strange, there is almost a compulsion to see what people are saying about you.
12:33 pm
people say do not look, do not look. but i find that difficult. someone had made a picture of me as a used sanitary towel. i remember thinking and feeling revolted. a few friends saw it and i felt angry. vandalism, abuse and threats which some fear will put people off going into politics. that report from chris mason. the chief constable in charge of child protection for uk forces has told the bbc that he will consider working with paedophile hunter groups in the future. simon bailey of the national police chief ‘s council was responding to research by the bbc, which show the amount of evidence been supplied by hunters had risen sharply. the figure shows that in 2014, 11% of sexual grooming
12:34 pm
cases put forward the crown prosecution service by the police used evidence supplied by paedophile hunters. just two years later, hunter evidence features and 44% of cases. this report from john kettle. the police say paedophile hunters are vigilantes. they pose as children online, film their meetings with people who groom them, and post their videos on social media. you've arranged to meet a 14—year—old boy here today, for sex? no. you have — do you want me to get the cellphone out and show you? the police are on their way. i'm a paedophile hunter, mate. that's what i do. you are under citizen's arrest. in 2014, 11% of cases for meeting a child following sexual grooming contained paedophile hunter evidence. two years later, that has grown to 44%. look, i think that's an embarrassing figure for british policing. look at the success that's being achieved. recognise, of course, the dangers of vigilante behaviour, but then do something about it. bring it within the criminal justice system. will there ever be a situation where they could work
12:35 pm
together with police? i think it's something that we'll potentially have to look at. but it comes with complexity, not least of all the psychological screening that the professionals go through, to make sure that these people are still not being adversely affected by this. whilst i'm going to have to look at it, the risks are really significant, and cannot be understated. i will not condone these groups, and i would encourage them to stop. but i recognise that i'm not winning that conversation, and i'm not winning that moral argument. the man caught by this southampton—based hunter pleaded guilty, and is injail awaiting sentencing. you can watch more run this on inside out at 7:30pm on bbc one in the south of england and it will be on the high player afterwards. north korea says the more sanctions the us and its allies pursue against pyongyang, the faster it will move towards completing its nuclear force. the statement came via the country's
12:36 pm
official state news agency citing a foreign ministry spokesman. meanwhile, south korea's defence ministry says its armed forces have teamed up with those of the us in an aerial military drill near the north korean border. the north has recently tested a long—range ballistic missile and a powerful nuclear bomb, despite un sanctions. twenty years ago today, the people of wales voted for devolution and the creation of a national assembly. today the welsh secretary alun cairns says that wales needs to respond to modern challenges and that more powers should be handed to welsh regions — rather than ministers controlling everything from cardiff. our wales political editor nick servini is at the welsh assembly. it is worth reflecting on the figures 20 years ago. incredibly dramatic night. and it was one week
12:37 pm
after scotla nd dramatic night. and it was one week after scotland had voted convincingly for devolution. the night in wales was just a margin of 6721 votes, to be precise. it was those who supported devolution managed to win the case with other when fetched down to the wire. the early hours of the final voting in the south—west of wales. and the fa ct the south—west of wales. and the fact that people were says that in wales, i think in a way had a huge influence in the development of devolution in that time, and i think the first half, if you like was a pretty generous cash increases from the westminster government in terms of the financial settlements that they had. it was all about persuading people of the merits of devolution. this giveaways like free prescriptions in wales and free school breakfasts, and be us passes for the elderly. but i think the second half has been much more difficult financially from westminster. an element of expectation management, we've had a ha rd ya rd of expectation management, we've had a hard yard of public service delivery
12:38 pm
and reform, which is clearly being a major challenge. in terms of the relationship that people have had, i think broadly people accept the building behind me and the debates and decisions that are made by the welsh government. all too often it is the lack of enthusiasm, i have to say, in turnout rates are still below 50% in assembly elections. an element today of retrospection and all sorts of different voices and views in terms of the future. really an assessment of the record of devolution are still hot point of debate in wales. what the future? especially in the environment as well? what is next for devolution in wales ? what is next for devolution in wales? yes, in that time, but the start was in charge of areas like health and education. the lines share of the funding in that direction. there was a referendum which was passed for direct lawmaking powers. in the future is
12:39 pm
very much in the direction of tax—raising powers. so there will be a welsh version of stamp duty, for example. partial control of income tax. that is the kind of direction it is going. in terms of the tax—raising, there was a possibility of much better engagement, i think, in times of the public knowing that the decisions made by the welsh government for the first time could potentially affect people's personal finances and you mentioned brexit. that is the centre of a big constitutional debate going on. and a battle really going on between the welsh government in the uk government. mirrors what is happening in scotland. the first minister who is actually giving a speech just one of the buildings behind me, giving a defensive record of devolution and he believes one of the big is what happens to all these eu legislation is after brexit, when it comes back to the uk. including areas like agriculture, which is a devolved matter. the welsh government saying it should come directly here and to westminster. and the accusation that it is a
12:40 pm
paragraph. this has been well rehearsed now. that this is the most sensible and simplest way to carry out brexit. so that is a flavour of the constitutional we're seeing now between the welsh government and the uk government and really part of, in a way, and never—ending constitutional debate that has happened since the start of devolution. the headlines on bbc newsroom live: police are questioning two men in connection with friday's tube bomb attack — one is believed to be 21—year—old ya hyah farroukh. wayne rooney has been banned from driving for two years, and sentenced to a hundred hours of community service, after he pleads guilty to a charge of drink driving. after boris johnson's controversial article on brexit, the cyclist killed a mother of two already back with no front brakes has been jailed at the old bailey for 18 months. in russia, concern is
12:41 pm
growing over a wave of violent attacks linked to a film. ‘matilda', which isn't due for release until next month, is based on the true story of nicholas romanov‘s romance with a young ballerina. but nicholas ii is an orthodox saint and some russians claim the film is blasphemous. sarah rainsford reports from moscow. it is the love story of a ballerina and the future is our. but this film has ignited passionate debate in russia. some wanted banned as insulting. now, that campaign has turned violent. in one attack, a man drew a truck full of gas canisters into an empty cinema. in another, the film director ‘s studio was firebombed. and in moscow, his lawyers were targeted. one showed me ccg the footage of arsonists
12:42 pm
torching cars outside their office. they left notes saying bone for matilda. it is dangerous. it is dangerous. if the state do nothing, right now the same situation could be much worse. after a ll same situation could be much worse. after all this, russia's main cinema chain said it will not screen the film because it is worried about security. the director told me that decision creates a threat to the arts. it isa creates a threat to the arts. it is a step in the back because this is notjust about my film. if we give in to the small but aggressive element then the same thing can happen to any play or any film. we have to fight this. the campaign to ban matilda is led by orthodox russians acclaimed as an insult to theirfaith. by orthodox russians acclaimed as an insult to their faith. extremists are now using threats and violence. the kremlin calls that unacceptable but officials here have spent years stressing this country's orthodox
12:43 pm
roots and its values. in some beer religious hardliners will not be difficult to contain. orthodox activists bought their protest to this religious procession last week. they are so upset because nicola is the an orthodox saint. a banner called the bill a slap in the face. though the romance with matilda is historicalfact. he says that his group is not linked to the violence but he does want the film banned. translation: the czar is shown as lecturers and his wife as a witch. it isa lecturers and his wife as a witch. it is a desecration of orthodoxy. it is a desecration of orthodoxy. it insults the memory of holy people. despite everything, the gala premiere of matilda are set for next month. but the fight over this film and over artistic freedom here is set to rage on. some news coming into us about the

12:46 pm
i lost everything, except my children's lives. desperate, frustrating times. families, british citizens, needing help. but international rules say overall these islands are too wealthy to qualify for the uk aid budget. if this is a rich country, i don't understand how me and others who have lost their roofs and everything still live in a poor situation. after the looting of the early days, it feels safe here now. british police helping the border. more than 200 british military on the ground as well. the royal marines are helping locals deliver whatever aid they can find. what struck it about being here? the sheer devastation of it all.
12:47 pm
absolutely. i have never seen anything like it. for now, all of this is still about survival. but once the people here have enough food and enough water, attention must shift to rebuilding all of this devastation, the getting these islands back to work. crucial will be tourism, but where do you start when confronted with this? the loss of income will cost the economy millions, but there is a determination to rebuild. in church today, the focus, not on what has been lost, but what has been saved. jeremy cooke, bbc news, on the british virgin islands. the emmys have been handed out in los angeles. the handmade's celtic the top, series. it was a
