views on brexit. meanwhile, labour is promising to limit the amount of interest that can be charged on credit card debt. the party wants to ensure that there are curbs so that no one is charged more than twice of their original debt. norman smith is at the conference. is there a distinct possibility that theissues is there a distinct possibility that the issues that delegates have chosen to vote on will be overshadowed, dominated by the issue they haven't chosen to vote on, namely membership of the single market? it is already happening. the party leadership are hoping to avoid the tensions and divisions over brexit within this party, but they have been laid bare and in a charge and passionate debate this morning on the issue of brexit, this after the mayor of london slightly ratcheted up the issue by saying that he favours staying in the single market after the transitional

period, and that is not party policy at the moment. more than that, sadiq khan also suggested it was at the negotiation whether freeman —— freedom of movement would actually come to an end and even suggested that we might not leave the european union. so huge argumentsjust cascading around this conference centre over the issue of brexit. have a listen to some of the debate this morning. whilst i accept the result, even though i was not asked to participate, i don't accept that it means that brexit cannot be stopped. in fact, i think brexit must be stopped, and lee —— labour needs to be seen to contribute to that end, otherwise we will be judged on enabling a brexit that is hurting this country and that will continue hurting this country and the weakest in it for decades to come. in the priorities ballots yesterday the sedgefield constituency week delegates did not vote for brexit as a contemporary

motion. we want to take a few minutes why we did that. firstly, we are debating brexit today. we did not need to take up more time to discuss brexit when we can use it to discuss brexit when we can use it to discuss things like our nhs. you voted away a massive chance to preserve the massive opportunities that our young people have through rasmussen and programmes like that, opportunities for people to work and do business wherever they please within 27 states of the european union and the wider economic area —— erasmus. what is fascinating about the whole argument about brexit is that it defies normal left and right divisions. you find some on the left passionately opposed to brexit, some passionately opposed to brexit, some passionately for it. one the most interesting areas is the position of jeremy corbyn because you think,

instinctively, he has sounded sceptical about continuing membership of the single market yesterday, saying it would be difficult for him to pursue a left—wing agenda after renationalising the railways and helping the state —— steel industry because of rules in the single market. some of his supporters a very different view. one of them is the new mp for brighton, and you do wa nt the new mp for brighton, and you do want britain to stay in the single market. let me put it to you, too many voters, that would look like backsliding on brexit. during the brexit referendum even some of the levers were saying there were options to remain in the single market and in the customs union, so i don't see that as backsliding if thatis i don't see that as backsliding if that is one of the options that even a league campaign put on the table. there were many countries in the single market and not the european union —— and believe campaign. it is possible to have that kind of arrangement andl possible to have that kind of arrangement and i don't buy the argument that you cannot have stayed

eight —— state aid. i would put it that the state aid rules outside the european union are stricter than under the european union are stricter than underthe eu. the enforcement mechanism is weaker, but the rules of the wto are stronger in terms of goods that you are making and selling abroad, so therefore, actually, you would be less able to support the steel industry if we're outside of the single market. support the steel industry if we're outside of the single marketlj don't know if you are listening to the debate, but one of the delegates said he thought that one of the criticisms of the party on europe, the demand to stay in the single market and the demonstration outside the conference will yesterday saying no to brexit was a disgrace and an attack onjeremy corbyn. no to brexit was a disgrace and an attack on jeremy corbyn. well, i'm afraid that's not the case. at some of the meetings yesterday, and i'm a good friend of jeremy's, of the meetings yesterday, and i'm a good friend ofjeremy's, and i will continue to support him and i think he's doing a fantasticjob as leader, but on this one issue we need to go a little bit further. actually i don't think we are far

off it. we have a decent policy at the moment that says if we cannot get a good deal, no options are off the table, and that includes a second referendum. that is the policy at the moment, agreed at the la st policy at the moment, agreed at the last party conference, and that is right. i don't believe we will get a good deal, but let's try and get one. if we don't, we need to go back. can i be clear on that? that was agreed as a motion at the last party conference, but are you saying that labour's pollock —— current position, i'm sorry, i am going to interrupt you. let's cross over to brighton where the labour shadow brexit secretary keir starmer is addressing the labour party conference. the shadow brexit team, believe you me, they could have chosen easier jobs over the past year. and what a year it has been. article 50

triggered. a snap general election. that was supposed to have been a coronation. but it has left us with a broken government. they are too wea k to a broken government. they are too weak to govern. too divided to negotiate brexit. constructive ambiguity is now their official policy. it is easy to laugh and it would be funny if were so tragic. britain's place in the world is at sta ke. britain's place in the world is at stake. people's jobs are at stake. people's mortgages are at stake and people's futures are at stake. so

who are the authors of this tory tragedy? first, david cameron. who recklessly gambled this country because he could not hold his party together. then borisjohnson. then boris johnson. standing then borisjohnson. standing in front of his red bus with a live on the side. a false promise of £350 million per week to our nhs. ruthless about his own ambition, reckless about our country. now theresa may. robotically marching

our country to an extreme brexit. focused on her own survival rather than national interests. maybe the tories can afford this disastrous approach to brexit. maybe the tories would benefit from a brexit of deregulation. but you know and i know that for millions of working people they cannot afford that brexit. whether you are in the front seat with theresa may or the back—seat with boris johnson. seat with theresa may or the back—seat with borisjohnson. there is nothing patriotically about joyriding our economy off a cliff. conference, this has got to stop. it

is time for a different approach. so let me share with you the labour approach. an approach which is both democratically legitimate and economic is sensible. that respects the referendum result and putsjobs and the economy first, an approach rooted in our core values. values that bind us together, labour values. internationalism. we have a lwa ys values. internationalism. we have always been an internationalist party. reaching out to europe and the rest of the world. not turning in on ourselves. that is why we have

campaigned for unilateral protections of citizens in this country and why we want protection of citizens in europe. . values of cooperation. and solidarity and a simple belief that we achieve more together than we do alone. our unflinching commitment to the protection of human rights. to the rule of law, to the protection of rights at work and to the protection of our environment. simple words, fairness, equality and social justice. in our economy and in our society. as we execute eu this is not the time to abandon those values. on the contrary, those

values. on the contrary, those values should drive everything that we do as we enter these uncertain times —— as we ex—it the eu. conference, that is why over the summer labour reached an agreed position that transitional arrangements on the same basic terms as we currently have with the eu are in the national interest. let me be clear. for the labour party, that means during the transitional period we would remain within a customs union within the eu and the single market. the government, on the other

hand have spent the summer squabbling in public, so dysfunctional by last week that the governor took the flight to florence. only when she got there to adopt and follow our position on transitional arrangements. conference, let's see whether that survives contact with tory party conference next week. but let's not befall by what the prime ministers said in florence. all she has done is to delay the cliff edge. all her ideological red lines remain. stick she still prioritises arbitrary immigration targets overjobs and the economy. she has no answer to

fundamental questions in northern ireland and she still insists, despite all the warnings that no deal is a viable option. it most certainly is not. conference, labour rejects that approach. if we were in government, when we are in government, we will build a new progressive partnership with the eu and we will negotiate a deal that ensures continued cooperation and collaboration in all fields with our eu partners. and a deal that retains the benefits of the customs union and the single market. options are achieving that

end should not be swept off the table. subject, of course to negotiations, remaining in a form of customs union with the eu is a possible end destination for labour. we are also flexible as to whether the benefits of the single market are best retained by negotiation a new single market relationship or working up a bespoke trade deal. the outcome is what matters. no rash ideological red lines preventing a sensible deal. no fantastical blue sky proposals. a pragmatic approach. labour are now the grown—ups in the room. and conference, i tell you this, we

stand ready to take charge of these negotiations, not acting for narrow political gain, but in the national interest. conference, the way the tories are handling brexit tells you a lot about their competence or, perhaps i should say, incompetence but it also tells you about their character. about their dogmatic disregard of the national interest. about their sheer sense of entitlement, about their post—imperial delusions. about their willingness to put other people's

jobs at risk. our country today is so much better than our government. this country is yearning for change, theresa may, or whoever replaces, cannot deliver that change. the old politics and the tory old guard have had their day. we need a transformative had their day. we need a tra nsformative labour government. notjust to tra nsformative labour government. not just to break the tra nsformative labour government. notjust to break the impassive in brexit negotiations and to deliver a progressive partnership with the eu, vital though that is —— notjust to break the impasse. but to tackle the wide injustices and inequalities we

see all around us. and to give hope that our society, our public services and our economy do not have to be like that. . that we can build a better, more inclusive britain. that is why i came into politics. that is why i came into politics. that is why you are in this room today. that's whyjeromy has been able to mobilise 600,000 members ——jeremy. and to inspire the support of over 12 million people. it is also why the clock is ticking

for this prime minister and this government. conference, we've come a long way in the last year. we have come a long way. now is the time for us to lead. to bring a divided country back together, to mend our broken politics. this is labour's opportunity and labour's responsibility. and working together, this can be labour's achievement, delivering a government for the many and not for the few. thank you very much, conference. that was keir starmer, the shadow

brexit secretary addressing the labour party conference. he accused the government spending the summer squabbling in public and says the prime minister then flew to florence to adopt labour's position the transitional arrangements for brexit. he accused the government of a dogmatic disregard of the national interest and said that labour are now the grown—ups in the room. he described labour's approach to brexit as democratically legitimate and economic league sensible. which respects the referendum result, but

projects —— protect jobs. respects the referendum result, but projects —— protectjobs. a speech in which there were numerous attacks on the government position from keir starmer and we will get some assessment of that speech for you, and much more from the labour party conference throughout the morning on bbc news. before we move onto the next tory, breaking news about uber following the decision by transport for london to withdraw its private taxi licence, saying it was not fit and proper to hold that license. we have now had a sake —— statement from the ceo of uber, who says in an open letter to londoners that we have got things wrong along the way, apologising for mistake. the ceo of hoover is writing the open letter, and he says —— of uber. he says that while uber is appealing the decision not to renew its licence it knows

that the firm must change. so a slight softening of the tone, perhaps from uber, which was very robust in terms of their initial response to the decision by tefl. german chancellor angela merkel has begun negotiations to form a coalition government, following her re—election for a fourth term. her party suffered the worst result for 70 years, as millions of voters defected from traditional parties to support the far—right. the nationalist afd won its first seats in parliament. mrs merkel‘s reduced share of the vote will mean that the process of forming a new coalition government could take months. angela merkel‘s cdu/csu has won 33% of the vote, slipping by almost 9% from the last election. her current coalition partner, the social democrat spd is on 2i%, a decline in its vote share of about 5%. both the left and the greens are on around 9%. the liberal fdp a little ahead of them about ii%. and the shock of the night

is the right—wing nationalist afd. they've secured about i3 % of the vote. so this is what the distribution of seats in the new bundestag would look like. the cdu 246 seats, the spd gets 153. and the right wing afd, which so far has not been represented in parliament, will get 94 seats. a short time ago we heard from angela merkel where she responded to the results. no question about it, we hope for a slightly better result. that is totally clear. of course we are facing a huge test. the afd entering parliament. we will carry out a profound analysis because we want to win back the voters of the afd by solving problems and listening to their worries, and sometimes their fears. but above all, through good

politics. an imam is recovering in hospital after he was stabbed in hale in greater manchester last night. dr nasser kurdym an imam, suffered a stab wound to the back of his neck after being attacked as he walked to a mosque. two men have been arrested and police say they're treating the attack as a hate crime. pan is set —— a ban is said to be lifted by footballers wearing poppies. fifa find england, scotland and northern ireland last year to commemorate armistice day with the poppies, as they considered it a political single —— symbol. president trump has refused to back down in his ongoing public row with some of his country's most famous sports stars — claiming they should be sacked for kneeling during the national anthem. a number of american football players took part in the protest against racism in the us ahead of yesterday's nfl game at wembley, as simon clemison reports. # god save our gracious queen...

these players stand for national anthems... # oh, say can you see... ..but not their own. the protest known as taking a knee began last year when one player refused to rise for the star spangled banner over what he said was the oppression of black people in the us. but it's now spread. yesterday's game at wembley began the biggest demonstration at matches yet. we chose to take a knee, we believe that it's right, it's bringing awareness to the issue going on right now in america in a non—violent way of doing it. we did it together as a team, interlocked arms. it's just a way of doing that. donald trump says american footballers who refuse to stand should be fired. he says the country has to be respected and he believes most people agree with him. we have a great country, we have great people representing our country, especially our soldiers, ourfirst responders, and they should be treated with respect, and when you get

on your knee and you don't respect the american flag or the anthem, that's not being treated with respect. he may be used to a collision course but in american football that could prove quite painful. simon clemison, bbc news. detectives investigating the terrorist attack at parsons green have arrested a seventh man in cardiff. the 20—year—old has been taken to a police station in south london where he is being questioned. so far one person has been charged in connection with the attack on a district line train. a man has been rescued afterfalling about 50 feet down a disused mineshaft in west cornwall. rescuers said a paramedic and technical rescue supervisor were lowered into the shaft to assess the situation. time for the weather with matt taylor. what a day of contrasts it has been

across many parts of the uk. we have seen a lot of cloud for some and sunshine for others. the best of the sunshine for others. the best of the sunshine across western areas but if you have started with cloud and rain it will ease off a bit of the heaviest bursts are across aberdeenshire. patchy light rain across much of england and eastern wales that will sit all day long and it's very misty over the hills, but increasing sunshine this afternoon. past of lincolnshire, east anglia the south—east, and sunny spells throughout the west. fog shifting slowly through the afternoon. it will feel warm in the sunshine with a muggy airand will feel warm in the sunshine with a muggy air and that will be the case tonight with temperatures not dropping too much. misty over the hills, and a great start to tuesday morning for many. not too much in the way of rain and drizzle, just general dampness. more cloud across western areas compared to today and there will be more sunshine in the east. one or two showers in the afternoon but many will be dry. it is looking bright across eastern areas across wednesday. have a good

day. this is bbc news, our latest headlines: a angela merkel wins a fourth term in office in germany that has to form a coalition it the rise of the far right party the ast. american footballers kneel during the national anthem in protest against racial injustice, with president ron saying they should be fired the doing so. football's governing body fever is set to lift the ban stopping players from displaying remembrance propers. and the ceo of uber has said they will be appealing the decision by tfl not to renew the licence in london but that he also knows the firm must change and will work with london to make things

right. it's time for sport, let's hand to jessica, more on the poppy decision by fever. sports minister tracy crouch has described fifa's expected decision to overturn its ban on as common sense. you will remember last year, england, scotland, wales and northern ireland were all fined by these before they use of the poppy to commemorate armistice day, deeming it to be a political symbol. prince william and theresa may were among those to criticise the decision but we are expecting fever to change its laws early next month in time for november's international break. ina in time for november's international break. in a statement, crouch said... o nto

onto rugby, where england's billy vunipola says he is worn down, having picked up another injury which will keep him out of the game until the new year. he missed the lions tour this summer and will be out of the autumn internationals. he told the bbc in an interview before his latest injury woe that the co nsta nt his latest injury woe that the constant injuries are getting him down and he would take a pay cut to avoid burn—out. down and he would take a pay cut to avoid burn-out. even 32 games is a lot. it is doable but do you want people to do it orjust go out and smash it? i didn't enjoy being on the surgery table twice in the same year and that is deemed as normal? if people said we will take five games of the season but you have to ta ke games of the season but you have to take a pay cut, would players go along with it? i would say yes. graham onions will leave durham at the end of the season. the former england seamer has failed to agree a new contract after 13 years with the

club. the two parties couldn't agree on an extension, with the second year conditional on the seamer avoiding serious injury in year one. durham's first—class leading wicket taker was hopeful of staying with the county. last year. i would like to make 100% clear i would love to stay. i have done my koji badges and that, of this i am thinking about the future. i know i am no spring chicken the last few weeks have been a very high standard. i would love to play for another two years, but thatis to play for another two years, but that is not on the table at the moment and i want to go into coaching. justin thomas has won the fedex cup, golf‘s season—long points race, after his second—place finish at the pga tour championship. you won't believe how much cash he has one, £7 million. the tournament

itself was won by fellow american zander sharply in atlanta, with a birdie on the last to finish 12 under. england's paul casey had laid before the final round and had an outside chance of winning the fedex cup as well but his challenge for both those titles faded, so congratulations to justin both those titles faded, so congratulations tojustin thomas. peter sang and won his third world title in a row in dramatic fashion in an's road race at the world in norway. the slovakian sprinter was in 80th place approaching the final climb but look at this, he timed his sprint to perfection. he won by a quarter of a wheel. he becomes the first man to win three consecutive world crowns. roger federer‘s team europe beat tea m roger federer‘s team europe beat team world to win the labour cup in prague. he beat australia's nick

kyrgios in a tie—break, a great game. this is a man that has won so many grand slams but look how much it means to him. gets a hug from nadal, they both played doubles over the weekend. interesting concept, tea m the weekend. interesting concept, team world against team europe. that was the inaugural competition and it will be back next year. essentially, tennis's answer to the ryder cup. that is a sport now. more now on a german chancellor beginning the process of forming a coalition government after her re—election. angela merkel‘s party donor suffered the worst results for 70 years as millions of voters defected from traditional parties to support the far right. the adf has vowed to fight what it calls an invasion of

foreigners after winning its first parliamentary seats. let's get more reaction to this result. simon green is professor of politics at aston university. he joins us now via webcam. thank you forjoining us this morning. first of all, how significant is it that the afd has won its first seat in the german parliament? undoubtedly it is significant, the first time a far right party has actually won seats in the german parliament since the second world war, so it is a significant moment. how do you think, looking at the broader picture, the new coalition picture is going to shape up. picture, the new coalition picture is going to shape uplj picture, the new coalition picture is going to shape up. i think it is going to be very difficult, the only mathematical combination is, the combination between the cdu, the greens and the liberal ftp. well, thatis greens and the liberal ftp. well, that is quite a broad group of ideological positions which will have to be reconciled with each other and there is another important

people, bavarian csu did really badly yesterday. they have got a state election coming up, so they are going to have to do re—profile themselves and it will be difficult to do that in conduction conjunction with the greens. so that coalition you speak of, does it ultimately make germany's government less stable? i think it is going to take some weeks to resolve, actually. it is not clear what the outcome will be. it may well be that a coalition between these three parties can be formed, but equally it may be that it can't, and the question comes back to whether in fact the spd will be prevailed upon tojoin back to whether in fact the spd will be prevailed upon to join the government again in the grand coalition, or indeed whether the sea at csu try to go alone —— cdu try to go alone as the majority party. at csu try to go alone —— cdu try to go alone as the majority partylj think it will take awhile to resolve. angela merkel has admitted

the result was not all she would have for and she wants to listen to the concerns of the people who voted this time for the afd and win them back. how'd you think she's going to set about doing that? well, i think thatis set about doing that? well, i think that is a very difficult question and a very difficult one to answer, because there are all kinds of things which are rolled up into the afd's things which are rolled up into the afd‘s vote. on one level, superficially, it is about immigration and refugees, but as is so often the case, the areas which vote for these kind of anti—immigrant parties are not the ones who have the most immigrants, so there will be other things which come into this, notably about identity. i think it is quite telling that the afd was most successful in the eastern half of the country and those bits in the west where it did well were actually the wealthiest, so there are all kinds of things that are thrown into

this and it will take some time to unpack. professor green, thank you very much your time, simon greenall from the politics at aston university. "we've been asleep to it, but we're waking up now," — that's what the nhs in england has admitted to the bbc about a condition called diabulimia. it's a little—known eating disorder where young people with type i diabetes purposely miss essential insulin injections to control their weight. it can be a very hidden illness, where those with it can have a normal body size but be very unwell. a leading psychiatrist says patients are dying waiting for the right care. bbc newsbeat‘s tracy ollerenshaw has been to meet one young woman who is now in recovery. becky lives daily with the consequences of diabulimia. so the reason i walk with crutches at the moment is because of the damage that i've done to my feet. the surgeon at the time was like, "yeah, your bone is actually like honeycomb and mush". and it's kind of dissolving it. it's hard to think that these things are going to be with me for life.

she was diagnosed with type i diabetes aged 19. it's not the lifestyle related type, but an autoimmune disease controllable if you take regular insulin injections. but becky stopped doing that. she restricted the amount of insulin she took to lose weight. doing this has no official name, but it's become known as diabulimia. it's a dangerous game to start. once you start, you kind of get obsessed. becky was admitted to hospital when her weight became critical. the next image is shocking. that was the first or second night of the others in, that one. i got tubed because i wasn't able to physically it. it's a good reminder of where i don't want to be. becky was lucky that she found support in aberdeen, one of the very few hospitals which combine treating an eating disorder with insulin abuse. charityjdrf estimates there are 60,00015—to—30—year—olds living with type i diabetes in the uk. and experts believe one in three of those may abuse their insulin

to control their weight. the uk's first—ever outpatient clinic specifically for people with diabulimia has been running here at kings college hospital for a year. they are treating a0 patients and they tell us that a quarter of them are getting better. but this is just one service in one part of the country. and experts and sufferers say more needs to be done. my observation is that these patients are falling between the net. and as a result, they're getting worse diabetes control, they are increasing their risk of getting diabetes complications and of early mortality. i think people are waking up to it. you know, we have been asleep, no doubt. but we are waking up. there is some to do, but we will get there. nhs england says 70 new community eating disorder teams will be set—up and running by the end of this year. now becky is in recovery, she is injecting her insulin regularly and working on improving physical disabilities that her diabulimia has left with.

that her diabulimia has left her with. i think to get a range of movement back in my feet so that walking is actually going to be easier, so that i can actually do things that i enjoy, like going on a bike. you can get advice and watch the documentary diabulimia: the world's most dangerous eating disorder on bbc three's iplayer channel now. the number of 85—year—olds living in the uk is expected to double over the next 20 years — and many will have long—term health conditions. yet new research — seen exclusively by radio 4's you and yours programme — suggests there won't be enough social care workers to look after them. the government says it has invested £2 billion into the sector to ensure a sustainable future. but does that go far enough? samantha fenwick has been to meet one family to find out more. she was a nurse, spent all her life caring for other people.

sarah and pip hockey are sisters. three years ago, they both gave up theirjobs and moved back home to look after their mum, annie, who is 82 years old and has advanced parkinson's disease. they get four hours' help a day, but it is a real struggle trying to find the right people to look after their mum. this year alone, from the beginning of the year, we have had up to 30 different carers, which is... people just come and go all the time. they don't get paid enough, the carers. they're exhausted, they're doing crazy long hours. we've had to step in numerous times to cover care ourselves. recruiting care workers is really difficult in many parts of the uk. earlier this year, research done by the bbc found that, every day in england, more than 900 care staff leave theirjobs. rachel smith—lyte was a care worker, but after three years she'd had enough, and left the profession. she said the pay rate of £8 an hourjust wasn't enough. it was just so physically demanding,

and i was starting to get health problems as a result. it was also very emotionally draining, and it started to kind of make me feel a bit hard towards people. and that isn't and who i am, at all, and that worried me. the number of people aged over 85 living in the uk is expected to double in the next 20 years. many of them will need to be looked after in places like this. the concern is that there won't be enough people working in social care to look after them. new research suggests that by 2037, we will need an additional 1.2 million people working in social care, to meet growing demands. half of those will be needed in care homes like this. employers say they are finding it difficult to recruit and retain staff. the type of people needing care nowadays is much more complex, so it's hard work. there's a lot of sickness and absenteeism. that means people working double shifts, or longer, so that's unattractive,

and for what? we ask more qualifications, and the pay is not getting more. can't you, as a provider, pay these people more? we could pay them more, but we're working on very tight margins already. the government say they have a plan to attract and retain staff. they have promised to consult on the future of social care. the worry for annie hockey is that this isn't happening quick enough, and she has to rely on her daughters for help. i just couldn't manage without you two being around. reporter been coming in the 62—year—old woman being taken to hospital after stab wounds in lincolnshire. the woman, a welfare officer at winterton community academy, sustained non—life—threatening injuries, we are told. a 16—year—old girl has

million people are trapped by credit ca rd million people are trapped by credit card debt. he's arguing that no one should pay back more than twice the amount that they originally borrowed. peter tutton, amount that they originally borrowed. petertutton, head of policy at stepchange, at charity that offers debt and money management advice, joins me now. how serious is credit card debt?m management advice, joins me now. how serious is credit card debt? it is a very serious problem. about two thirds of the people we see have one or more credit cards. there are about 3 million people out there struggling with serious debt problems now and as the lead in said, 3 million or more struggling with persistent credit card debt which, if something isn't done about it, will get worse and the debt problems will build. what is interesting about this is he wants to tackle the interest. i'm wondering if that is the right way to go? the average interest is about 16% on a credit card and it would ta ke 16% on a credit card and it would take five years for you to payoff in interest about the same amount you had borrowed. is it not the ratcheting up of the amount of debt,

rather than the interest that you have to pay that is the problem?” think there are a bunch of issues we need to address. the cost of the interest and charges people pay is one thing but certainly lending standards and how people can get unaffordable credit card balances in the first phase is another one, but also the way credit cards are structured. one of the things credit cards, they have minimum repayments, seek and spent ten years repaying the balance. the financial conduct authority has issued some proposals to deal with card debt but i think we need more. we need to get down to the reason why credit card debts and credit cards in particular can allow people to walk into very long—term persistent debt, which is not what they are designed to do. you haven't mentioned capping interest rates at all, it isn't really the point, is it? interest rates are important pa rt it? interest rates are important part of the problem, so with payday lending, we saw a cap on rates and that has helped reduce the number of problems we saw, which were exploding upwards on payday debts,

so it is part of the problem. it won't deal with the problem by itself. with credit cards and things like overd rafts, itself. with credit cards and things like overdrafts, it is getting to grips with the persistent problem, making sure the lending is right and lenders are helping people earlier when they show persistent debt and making sure help is that the people in difficulty now. peter tutton from stepchange, thank you very much. the uk trip maker imagination technologies says it has reached agreement on terms were recommended offer from the group from chinese backed canyon bridge partners. the price is 180 2p a share. apple uses imagination's technology in its iphones. scottishpower says the uk will need to boost its generation of electricity by about a quarter davida electric cars and electric heating. the energy giant's achieved
