1:31 pm
but ahead of the cloud it's been a calmer day, a drier day, and there's been some sunshine around. after all the rain we've had in northern ireland, those blue skies probably come as a welcome change. that slice of sunshine extends all the way down towards the west country, a decent start the day here. there are some areas of cloud moving in across eastern areas of england, while two spots of rain possible. some sunshine in scotland. the sunshine extending through the midlands and the south—east as it clouds over and the south—east as it clouds over and the wind begin to arrive in the south—west, temperatures ahead of the rain where they should be at this time of year. let's focus on the rain. it comes with some strong winds on the weather front which is wrapped around the storm. it brings eastwards the uk and as the centre of the storm gets close so we will start to see the winds picking up. because it's a south—westerly wind, the strongest winds will be blowing through the irish state, hitting wales, southern england and the english channel, england costs 40—50 miles an hour, along the coast,
1:32 pm
gusts of 60 or 70 mph. together with high spring tides, the big waves and these rough seas, there may be some coastal flooding. the these rough seas, there may be some coastalflooding. the biggest impact around the coast. a windy day across the board. that's only part of the story. 0ut towards the west we have loads of showers backing in, some longer range of —— longer spells of rain developing. wet and miserable. some of the showers in the eastern england and scotland before part of the day it may be dry some sunshine. the big story is the wind and the rain. the storm is going to be weakening as it moves across the uk. it weakens further as we move into sunday. the centre by this stage heading out into the north sea and leaving behind this pump, briefly, of high pressure. it means it won't be as windy on sunday. it will still be as windy on sunday. it will still be windy but not as windy or as wet either, sunshine and showers. most of the showers in western scotland and the north—west of england but temperatures that shade lower. coming in full beginning of the week there's more rain again, coming in
1:33 pm
from the west. not huge amounts of rain probably on monday. a lot of cloud, as you can see. the top temperature in the cloud in the south of 16 celsius. it's atlantic winds heading our way next week, a lwa ys winds heading our way next week, always on the mild side and not as windy as the weekend, rain at times and the best of the sunshine in the north. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime. eu leaders agreed to start preparing for the next phase of brexit, focusing on trade. that's all from the bbc news at one. goodbye from me. on bbc one we joined the bbc news at one. goodbye from me. on bbc one wejoined the news teams where you are. have a good weekend. goodbye. good afternoon. it's 1:33. it's now time for a look at the day's sports news with me, jessica creighton. we'll start with football and after those ugly scenes at the everton and lyon europa league match last night, everton have been charged by governing body uefa. fighting broke out between
1:34 pm
the players in the second half at goodison park, with fans also getting involved. 0ur correspondent david 0rnstein is with me. it's been a tough time for everton of late, and now this charge. what exactly happened last night? this occurred in the 69th minute, everton captain ashley williams seemed to sholve the lyon keeper. going into the advertising hoardings. 0ne supporter carrying a child was seen throwing a punch to the keeper before stewards intervened. everton have released a statement, saying they have identified one individual, action taken against them, including banning him from huge fixtures. merseyside police have also said they have confirmed an investigation following the march and detectives are going to be reviewing the match
1:35 pm
and speaking to witnesses to establish what if any action needs to be taken. and as you said, uefa have opened the can buy very procedures, —— disciplinary procedures, —— disciplinary procedures, the case is going to be on the 16 november. a mess for everton. all this compounded by matters on the pitch. they're in terrible form — pressure is mounting on manager ronald koeman? koeman admitted that scrutiny is greater than ever before. this is a manager who spent in excess of £100 billion on transfers in the summer. results have not been going their way. bottom of the europa league group, no wins in three. no wins in fourin group, no wins in three. no wins in four in all competitions. but one religion from across the city, graeme souness, believes that koeman needs some more time. were going to hear from needs some more time. were going to hearfrom him later. but he said
1:36 pm
that it hearfrom him later. but he said thatitis hearfrom him later. but he said that it is typical of modern—day managers, not being given time, thank you very much. roma have been charged by uefa after some of their fans were heard making "monkey cha nts" during wednesday's champions league tie at chelsea. there have been reports the chants were aimed at chelsea and germany defender antonio rudiger, who moved to stamford bridge from roma in the summer. before his move, he said racism at the matches was a serious issue in italy. the doctor who received a ‘mystery package' for sir bradley wiggins in 2011 has resigned from british cycling because of ill health. dr richard freeman is part of separate investigations by british cycling and uk anti doping but has been off work with stress—related illness. british cycling said it had not been able to finalise its investigation, buty they've said it hopes to help ukad bring their enquiry to a "satisfactory conclusion". finally...
1:37 pm
lewis hamilton says he has "no plans" to take a knee during the american national anthem before sunday's united states grand prix. hamilton did say he thought the movement, which protests against racial injustice in the us, was "awesome". he gets underway at 4pm in practice. but the world championship leader added his priority was to win sunday's race and a fourth world title. nothing has changed for me. everything is exactly the same. exactly the same mentally for me. maybe it has changed from your perspective but for me it has not. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. i'll have more for you in the next hour. thank you. eu leaders have agreed to start preparing for trade talks with the uk as theresa may admits there is "some way to go" in negotiations. mrs may's 27 eu counterparts agreed
1:38 pm
at a brussels summit that not enough progress had been made on other issues to begin formal trade talks now. the president of the european council, donald tusk, told a news conference in brussels that the eu was preparing to outline a roadmap for talks about a future relationship between britain and the european union. after prime minister theresa may's intervention last night, and our discussion about brexit this morning, my impression is that the report of the deadlock between the european union and the united kingdom have been exaggerated. and while progress is not sufficient, that does not mean no progress at all. the council has agreed to start discussions in relation to the framework for the future relationship and the transitional arrangements. it is clear that this
1:39 pm
would not be possible without a new momentum, given by the florence speech by prime minister theresa may. i want to reassure our british friends that we will take account of proposals presented. the negotiations go on and we will continued to approach them positively and constructively. we are working on the deal and i hope we will be able to move to the second phase of talks in december. more positive tone there. the president of the european commission, jean—claude juncker, told a news conference in brussels that he does not want britain to leave the eu without a deal. when i said no deal, that nobody has explained what no deal meant, i meant that no member of the united
1:40 pm
kingdom delegation has explained that to me. at the commission, michel barnier along with us, know perfectly well. but when the united kingdom, some people pleading for the cause of no deal, nobody explains what they mean. it is the british league of carrying out delegation because nobody explained in the first place to the british people what brexit meant. more on that to come. the oscar—winning actress lupita nyong'o has become the latest in a long line of women to accuse the hollywood producer harvey weinstein of sexual harassment. the star of twelve years a slave says she her encounters with him began while she was a drama student. the director quentin tarantino, has admitted knowing for decades about his alleged misconduct. mr weinstein has denied all claims of non—consensual sex. tom donkin reports. as more allegations about harvey weinstein come to light, so too do the confessions from within hollywood's inner circle that much
1:41 pm
was known about his alleged misconduct towards women. "i knew enough to do more than i did" is what mr weinstein's long—time collaborator and close friend quentin tarantino has told the new york times. the director, who worked with harvey weinstein on films such as pulp fiction and kill bill, has admitted he knew about allegations for decades. he says he's now ashamed he continued to work with the movie mogul. meanwhile, the actress lupita nyong'o is the latest star to come forward. before winning her 0scar for twelve years a slave in 2012, she accuses harvey weinstein of sexual harassment on at least two occasions. in an industry of comebacks and second chances, there is a consensus that while mr weinstein denies multiple claims against him there will be no chance of redemption. no. they were a watershed moment. this is a sea change.
1:42 pm
i think his last name will become a noun and a verb. we've got to hear from everybody so we understand how vast and all encompassing this was. police in la say they're investigating fresh allegations by an unnamed italian model who said she was assaulted by weinstein in a hotel room in 2013. an allegation recent enough that could lead prosecutors to take the film—maker to trial. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour, but first the headlines on bbc news: eu leaders agree to start preparing for trade talks with the uk. theresa may says she's optimistic about a good deal. the uk's budget deficit last month was the smallest for any september in the past ten years. customers on three of the uk's biggest mobile networks are warned they may continue to be charged for handsets they've already paid for. in the business news:
1:43 pm
eu leaders have agreed to start preparing for trade talks with the uk as theresa may admits there is ‘some way to go' in negotiations. as expected, her 27 eu counterparts agreed at a brussels summit that not enough progress had been made on other issues to begin formal trade talks now. by starting internal talks, however, they are paving the way for them to begin — possibly in december. government borrowing was at lowest september level for ten years, according to official figures. last month's deficit stood at £5.902 billion, down almost 11% compared with the same month last year. that's according to the office for national statistics. with many economists having forecast a deficit of about £6.5 billion, the news will be a boost for chancellor philip hammond ahead of next month's budget.
1:44 pm
the chancellor has been taken to task by mps about the lack of diversity at the top of the bank of england. the former minister for women, nicky morgan, has written to philip hammond on behalf of the treasury committee, asking for evidence proving that "all efforts" are being made to encourage gender and ethnic diversity when recruiting. now, you might be able to pick up more than your lunch at marks and spencer soon... as the retailer's banking arm is hoping to enter the mortgage market. m&s bank is owned by hsbc but operates as a joint venture with the high street retailer. and subect to regulatory approval, it hopes to start offering mortgages early next year, with products aimed at first—time buyers and home movers. david hollingworth is with l&c mortgages and joins me now from our bristol studio. is there room for another mortgage
1:45 pm
player in the market? it is a very competitive market. anybody going into the market needs to have a good product range, the ball rolling market, but m&s has got the backing of hsbc. hsbc prices extremely well, along with first direct. nothing to suggest that m&s cannot come up with something that appeals to customers. and the brand is so strong, with consumer trust and known for quality. does it notjust all come down to prices? everything else, all of the other soft about brand reliability, not terribly important when you want the cheapest mortgage? i think that would remove some hesitation, from getting a mortgage from somewhere they pick up dinner. but it comes down to the product. what we have found with our
1:46 pm
customers, if we can get bigger deal for them, the ball go with any prices? brand. we have seen a lot of challenger brands. metro bank. even some of the smaller digital start ups. customers more than happy to go with them if the deal is correct for them. who would they be aiming at? with all due respect, not the youngest market? i think they are going to distribute notjust from the bank directly but also mortgage brokers. going to get some good general reach. first time buyers, key pa rt. core general reach. first time buyers, key part. core range. very much the middle of england, looking to attract that sort of customer to ta ke attract that sort of customer to take on the products that they have already got 20 through the credit card, charge card. one of the
1:47 pm
interesting things, m&s has always been quite reluctant to enter this market and the reason was it said it did not want to be on the other side of the coin, repossessions, because that would damage the brand generally? valid point?|j that would damage the brand generally? valid point? i think you have got to understand all of the risks. and that is the upfront process. getting the service standard correct. people will expect m&s to have good service as well as good value products. also, if you are doing that front end part right, you should be getting people who can clearly afford the mortgage, minimising the potential difficulties that you can of course have at the other end if you need to re possess . have at the other end if you need to repossess. thank you so much. drop bombs for kobelco has been selling below

1:53 pm
been working on the technology aspects and laura the messaging. why this campaign? unmute the commute? all the research that we have done this week, we have realised that campaigns often focus on the victim and getting the victim to report. that is incredibly important. but they are on public transport, and a lot of other people have the potential to stand up and make sure these things do not happen. unmute the commute, it is a cry for bystanders to become aware of sexual harassment and intervene and take action. you have got this button? it is a prototype, it demonstrates one solution. being able to make the unseen seen. key
1:54 pm
idea, if somebody is being harassed, attacked, rather than causing a scene, press a button on an app, phone. and that can alert the bysta nde rs phone. and that can alert the bystanders knew by that something is going on. it takes the pressure off the victim. and it puts on them to the victim. and it puts on them to the bystanders, to make them active. what is striking... it is notjust about the victim, the perpetrator, but all of the people around us on public transport. you are from transport for london. public transport. you are from transport for londonlj public transport. you are from transport for london. i think it is absolutely fantastic. the great innovation that these brilliant women have brought to this problem. i think we are going to get sea change. sea change in public attitude. this sort of behaviour is not acceptable and never 0k. it is important for us and the police that people understand what constitutes
1:55 pm
sexual harassment, if you are made to feel uncomfortable it is not groped, touched, not ok. bringing oxyge n groped, touched, not ok. bringing oxygen to that conversation, it is fantastic. but not specific messaging on buses and trains? we will absolutely be looking to see how we can take these ideas forward. we have got a lot of campaigning on social media and we need to think about taking forward the bystander involvement. what that bystanders can do to make the other passengers feel supported. we will look at this, in terms of hate crime, sexual harassment, and those rare troubling incidents that happen on public transport. taking on this problem, sexual harassment on public transport. time for a look at the weather.
1:56 pm
we have got the calm before the storm. some decent weather at the moment but you do not have to go far into the atlantic to get storm brian, it is at its strongestjust now. already getting some cloud to western areas. we have seen some sunshine but that is probably going to fading. be after all of that rain, it is a welcome change. extending down to the west country. this picture was taken at wilshere. some cloud for eastern england, sunshine for scotland and this is the width and windy weather. ahead of that, temperatures where they should be. 13—16. the rain, together with some strengthening wind, first sign of storm brian and the weather
1:57 pm
front is going to go eastwards quickly. the centre of the storm gets closer, the winds strengthening for saturday. the peak. south westerly winds, going to go to the irish sea, are touring wales and wales and southern england. 40—50mph. and because of the spring tides, big waves. possibly some coastal flooding. windy day, tides, big waves. possibly some coastalflooding. windy day, yes. but a lot of showers, one after another. longer spells of rain, and pretty miserable with those winds strengthening. for most, it could be dry with sunshine. wet and windy on saturday, the storm continues to begin as it moves across the united
1:58 pm
kingdom to the north sea. 0n begin as it moves across the united kingdom to the north sea. on sunday, it means that although it is going to be windy it is not going to be as windy. not as wet. the mixture of sunshine and shower. still some showers for west of scotland, temperatures could be lower, 12—13. more rain to come from the atlantic as we move to the early part of next week. keeping those westerly winds. mild atlantic. it is not going to be as windy as this weekend, but cloud, rain from time to time. the best of the sunshine, across northern part of the uk. hello, you're watching afternoon live — i'm simon mccoy. today at 2pm... inching towards the second phase of brexit talks — eu leaders give the green light to trade talks — amongst themselves. i am ambitious and positive for britain's future
1:59 pm
and for these negotiations, but i know we still have some way to go. my impression is that the reports of the deadlock between the eu and the uk have been exaggerated. called out — the mobile phone companies still charging — after you've paid for your handset. still a class apart — the research which reveals four—fifths of 0xbridge students had parents with topjobs. coming up on afternoon live — all the sport... jess has the fallout from that everton game... exactly, we will be discussing the plight of everton football clu b discussing the plight of everton football club at
