“ me -- me too women coming forwards. —— me too campaign. tom jones came up and said that something similar at happen to him." an excited, the huge fact that it was good to have. i think will secret a few more on that. as a woman working in the media, do you welcome mat? the way that this story is coming out as may be having a cathartic effect not just is coming out as may be having a cathartic effect notjust in the film industry, but in lots of industries. apsley, yes. side it feels like a watershed moment.” think so. particular young men and women, have twitter and facebook. i think if this had happened 2030 yea rs think if this had happened 2030 years ago, you'd be more isolated. but, you can see other people saying it, and everyone is commenting on it, and everyone is commenting on it, and everyone is commenting on it, and sharing it. it is very much safety in numbers, and that is one positive part of the internet, which is that everything done at everyone is that everything done at everyone is in it together, and previously you would gone home, and that would

have been it. i suppose, the movie industry, in a sense, the whole casting couch concept, in a way, this sort of things has happened in the past, but what is interesting, is that people are talking about this in lots of other industries as well. completely. and there will be lots of people who are possibly concerned about their own past behaviour now, who was worried that they might come forward and expose them, and hopefully that will make them, and hopefully that will make them think a lot more cavalier about them think a lot more cavalier about the manner in which the act, and beatings at the same. i think the more people to do about it the better. it's an figure deterrent as well. it's not just better. it's an figure deterrent as well. it's notjust women, men and women, growing up, you well. it's notjust women, men and women, growing up, you are a well. it's notjust women, men and women, growing up, you are a lot more where that, actually, things can come back to bite you in a way that you might not have been aware of before, because of the culture, and the institutions, people knew nothing was good to happen, didn't think there would be a repercussion, whereas now, we are seeing people use that —— lose their positions,

because, is a social media. everything is moving by quickly. but, it's going to be in every industry where there are people in positions of power, people trying to get into positions of power, and people dumb act and an inequality that. it's not about money, it's not about glass, it's about people tried to get somewhere, that could be in sport, politics, journalism, and honestly, in everything, and the legal profession, for so long we have accepted that that is just the way it is. boys club,... part and parcel of getting into this industry when you go to work drinks, but now, people think he actually maybe not. i should remind you that harvey weinstein denies the allegations made against him. let's go to the next story, which is the mail. quite a bizarre picture. have our police

lost the plot? what is that about? della mac it is looking at police officers who are doing stunts while on the beat. it is looking at these pictures here of officers wearing masks while they are investigating an enquiry in a store. they also talking about, police having painted nails and wearing high heels, both of these, deep into bales and high heels, where it in response to quite widespread campaigns, painted nails is raising awareness of modern slavery, and high heels of domestic violence. i think there is quite an important message behind it, but the male is —— the mail is asking why they doing these things while crime is on the up. it is quite a striking picture. it is. it is. he's pretending to be a policeman, is what i thought. but, you know what,

if they were trying to create more awareness over these campaigns, i didn't know that the nail varnish was around modern slavery, and by the fact that many women who work in these salons are victims of slavery, so maybe actually, because of all the controversy around it, maybe women who go in and have else done might start asking some questions. some people might say that that is an imaginative campaign. in the mail thing it's a silly stunt. and is what mps saying, this is not good change anything, we need to see them in action, but actually, as woodward about earlier, this has been very topical in parliament recently, lots of mps are talked about what an awful time our police have, and let the member that they put their lives on the line every day, to protect us,... on the line every day, to protect us, . .. while on the line every day, to protect us,... while staying on the crime scene, the front page of the

telegraph, have... also, talking about donald trump's rather extraordinary tweets today, where he was talking about how the uk crime figures were linked to the rise of radical islam, and so on, keep america safe, why did you make of all of that? the sort of flip side of that, if there is more crime being recorded, because of recording of crime has improved. so, more people are coming forward, the police are according more crimes, and therefore the crime figures go up. that is just and therefore the crime figures go up. that isjust what did happen. donald trump's treat it as inflammatory as we have come to expect, and even at cooper yvette —— even at cooper has said that it is appalling that receive this kind of like wooden rhetoric from the president as normal. it is optically

helpful, is it? it is a knee jerk reaction that is not necessarily the whole picture. ed miliband wrote on twitter, spreading lies about your own country, sad, spreading light is about others, sad. was an salute moron will stop he wasn't mixing as words, was the —— mincing his words. in the report, the phrase, radical islam is not mentioned. where has he got it from? side it sees as an agenda, doesn't it? what was more interesting, actually, theresa may, they all just went, y. interesting, actually, theresa may, they alljust went, y. not again, because there will be pressure on her to condemn it. i think i'll probably have been that we will have

forgotten about it by tomorrow. it is an helper, it will help. it really only leads to the increase of high heat crime, those of problems like that, and the prime and would not be happy, said small strain on the relationship, and i think they are choosing which battle to fight with, and they are trying to let this one go. just as a point of accuracy, he was looking at uk crime figures, but actually they were england and wales, not scotland. yes, not scotland. ithink it is england and wales, not scotland. yes, not scotland. i think it is the last story. this is crucial of course to anyone who is a driver. the idea of midway road works, and maybe the 50 mph speed limit when there are roadworks is going to be increased to 60 mph.” there are roadworks is going to be increased to 60 mph. i think this is a story that you could see on the of any local paper. if you replaced it these specific road, it is very much a local campaign issue, because, if you're driving along the same computer will work every day, and you are sitting in traffic

unnecessarily, 350 mph zone, in some cases, i know there is a lot of roads where i'm from, well have been 50 mph zones in place for years, and nothing is happening. the row does nothing is happening. the row does not seem to be changing. is anybody working on the road? exactly, unitary see anybody. i think this is one of those issues that really intense as a lot of people, and a lot of people will be happy from that one is here. it also says that people feel safer when the driving through roadworks, driving faster, that they feel safety going at 60 rather than 50 ? that they feel safety going at 60 rather than 50? jaidee can legally drive, but i am not a diver. what does that mean? i can drive, but i don't strive that much. if you're going quicker, you are more focused, but if you are slow, you are looking at what's around you, you are looking... looking over going, why

is nobody working on this road? there is a serious impact on the economy, and they were saying, that after accidents, they need to get the roadways clear quicker because people were sitting there for hours and hours. absolutely, as we were saying earlier, it a lot of these roads, seem to have eu funding, so what happens post— brexit, roads, seem to have eu funding, so what happens post—brexit, we don't wa nt what happens post—brexit, we don't want to leave roads half finished, and create even more problems, so, i think this will be welcome news to quite a lot of people. she digs is back to brexit. everything comes back to brexit. everything comes back to brexit. everything comes back to backs. -- bidding comes back to brexit. we're wondering who uses maps any more, because of the body has got that now. because everybody has got that now. because everybody has got that now. because everybody has got sacked now now. that is it

from the papers tonight, don't forget you can see the front pages online on our bbc news website. the other every seven days a week. and, if you happen to miss the programme any evening of the week, you can watch it again later. so, thank again to laura and kate, and goodbye from us. good evening. well, the weekend forecast is a blustery one, but nothing out of place for this stage in autumn. we do, of course, have storm brian to contend with. luckily it reached its peak strength out in the atlantic earlier today, it's weakening hour—by—hour. that said, it will still have some impacts across parts of the uk this weekend, especially as we go into saturday morning across wales and southern england. it has already had an influence on this evening's weather. we have a band of heavy rain

pushing its way from west to east, gusty winds with that, and through the night clear skies follow on, and a scattering of showers. some of those showers are on a little on the heavy side, but the winds will remain strong and blustery, particularly in western areas, and it will be a fresher start to saturday morning compared with friday morning. here is where we will see the biggest impact in the uk from storm brian. it's round the coasts and hills of wales and southern england. this is where we will see gusts of winds of 50, 60, maybe even 70mph, coupled with spring tides. spring tides are when the tides are particularly high. strong winds and those tides could mean some minor coastal flooding is expected as well. now the winds will pick up elsewhere in the uk. it will be a blustery saturday, winds lightest in northern scotland, after early rain. showers on saturday, most frequent in the west, merging to longer spells of heavy rain in north—west england and north—west wales. but eastern scotland, eastern england, after a fine morning you will see a few showering into the afternoon, by this stage the wind will pick up.

but again, nothing untoward for this stage in october. it will be a cool wind, temperatures dropping into the afternoon around 12—14 in western areas. so there is the remnants of storm brian as it pushes off into the north sea as we finish saturday and go into saturday night. as it goes, north—westerly winds to take us into sunday. showers, even some longer spells of rain, western scotland, northern ireland, particularly north—west england, north—west wales and the north—west midlands. elsewhere, after some morning showers, turning drier and brighter into the a afternoon, the winds slowly easing down, still a bit of a breezy sunday, but the big thing about the breeze on sunday is the direction. it's coming in from the north—west, it will be a cool day. temperatures, where you have rain, probably round nine or ten degrees, 14 or 15 at best. winds lighter into monday, though the breeze picks up through the english channel, northern scotland, outbreaks of rain here, in between a bit of patchy rain at times, but also some sunshine. best of the brightness probably across parts of north east england. that takes us into next week, half—term for some of you. reasonably mild with the winds off the atlantic. yes, rain at times particularly in the south. driest and brightest in the north east of the country. bye for now. the 11th 15, and other times to see
