dl’)‘ ‘ dry weather ‘dry weather and with a lot of dry weather and sunshine too. in between those two types of air, we have a weather front producing outbreaks of rain but it is not a straightforward and of cloud and rain, it is rugged rain and it has been heavy across western parts of wales and wet in the north—east of england as well. we are seeing the rain because of the temperature contrasts either side of it with the cooler and fresher air to the north west. you can see the contrast in those temperatures. a few showers coming in, most of the rain coming in on the weather front, the band of cloud that is bringing pockets of rain could still be quite heavy and thundery perhaps as well. ahead of that, towards a wash and east anglia, we are seeing showers break out already. we have cooler and fresher air coming back further eastwards a cross and fresher air coming back further eastwards across scotland, pushing away the cloud and any remaining rain. those showers in northern ireland should tend to fade away.
1:31 pm
these showers pushing eastwards are very hit and miss and it will be dry in the south—east of england but as the wetter weather pushes into the north sea, we draw down the cooler and fresher air. a comfortable night for sleeping in most of the uk. those temperatures around about 16 degrees at the lowest in london. many places start off dry with sunshine but we will see cloud bubbling up as it goes through the day, bringing showers here and there. they are scattered and probably more across the northern half of the uk. when all that is said and done it will be a dry day, further north and west it will be cooler, but temperatures lower across the board. it will feel fresher. the middle part of the week looks fairly quiet. later in the week it looks like this weather system was going to bring rain across the uk, that doesn't lookalike happening now, the rain petering out in northern scotland.
1:32 pm
sunny spells to come and rain in the north west of scotland on thursday, otherwise probably dry and if anything the temperatures are starting to rise again in england and wales. thank you, darren. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime. president trump meets russia's leader vladimir putin in their first everjoint summit — before the talks mr trump made this prediction: i think we have great opportunities together as two countries that frankly we have not been getting along very well for the last number of years. i think we will end up having an extraordinary relationship. that's all from the bbc news at one so it's goodbye from me and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. good afternoon, it just

1:38 pm
i think we have great opportunities together as two countries that, frankly, we have not been getting along very well for the last number of years. i've been here not too long, getting close to two years, but i think we will end up having an extraordinary relationship. i've been saying, and i'm sure you have heard over the years, and as i campaigned, getting along with russia is a good thing, not a bad thing. reporter asks question in russian. i really think the world wants to see us get along. we are at the two great nuclear powers, we have 90% of the nuclear, and that's not a good thing,
1:39 pm
it's a bad thing. i think we can hopefully do something about that, because it's not a positive force, it's a negative force. so we'll be talking about that, among other things. reporter asks question in russian. with that, the world awaits, and i look forward to our personal discussion, which i think begins now, and then we will meet our whole team. you have a quite few representatives and we all have questions and will hopefully come up with answers. it's great to be with you. let's get more now on that call from the former education secretary
1:40 pm
justine greening for a second referendum on brexit. the putney mp, who voted to remain, describes theresa may's brexit plans as the worst of both worlds. she spoke to our poltical correspondent jonathan blake a little earlier. i think parliament has reached an impasse. i think the prime minister's deal is, in practice, unworkable, the worst of all worlds. i think we need to go back to the british people and give them the three clear choices we have at the table, either a soft brexit, a hard brexit — a clean break that i think most leavers were voting for — or staying in the european union. the prime minister has reached a compromise, has a very difficultjob to do, to keep enough people happy. do you not recognise that, that in coming to this point and putting forwards her plan, it was in her view, clearly the best way forward, and she has taken a decision in good faith?
1:41 pm
i think it was right to find a workable compromise, but i think this is a compromise that doesn't suit anyone in practice. i worry, having looked at the detail, that it is unworkable and that the common rulebook will not be able to be updated when we want it to, and it will breakdown. we have to recognise that that parliament has reached an impasse and find a way through anyway. that's why i think we have to take the decision out of deadlocked politicians and put it back into the hands of the british people. what appetite do you think there is across the uk for another referendum? the vote was held a couple of years ago and the result was there for all to see? it is with a heavy heart i propose another referendum. i would have liked if parliament had been able to reach a compromise, but it is clear that it can't. you either put your head in the sand or you recognise the reality, are pragmatic and say what is the way we can still get through this?
1:42 pm
and perhaps deliver the brexit that people wanted and put the choice in front of the british people. that is what i'm proposing and i think it would be a route forward that many mps would recognise has a lot of sense for it. if it comes to it, what is your thought about which way that three—way choice would go? i have no idea. it is down to the british people to put their cross against the option they want and they should have two choices. their best choice, the one they most want, and then also be able to flag up that if that cannot happen, what would be their second best. that is the way we can find a consensus. it's exactly how we elect mayors across the country, so this is not a brand—new proposal, but i think it gives a us the best chance of having a consensus around a route for it. to those who say you campaigned to remain, you want the uk to remain in the eu,
1:43 pm
this is another way of stopping brexit? far from it. the parliament is at an impasse, it can't deliver arguably on the brexit that british people voted for, i think we have to get that back to the british people and have them take that final decision. i had campaigned for remain, but i think we have to move forwards, draw a line under the sand in brexit and get onto the other big issues facing our country, whether that is social care, social mobility, housing — whatever it is, we have to be able to find a route forward on brexit so we can now have the big debates and the direction we need on the rest of the challenges facing britain. in a moment, we'll have all the business news. but first, the headlines on bbc news: president trump says
1:44 pm
he hopes to develop an extraordinary relationship with president putin of russia. the leaders are meeting in their first—ever joint summit. former education secretary justine greening backs calls for a second brexit referendum, describing the prime minster‘s current approach as the worst of both worlds. net migration from the eu reaches its lowest level for five years, but migration from elsewhere is on the increase. i'm vishala sri—pathma. in the business news: blue skies ahead — theresa may promises huge investment for the aerospace industry, just a few weeks after airbus threatened to reduce its uk presence because of brexit disruption. china's economy remains on the right track — it grew by 6.7% in the second quarter, which was in line with market expectations. however, investors still remain concerned about the fallout of the trade war with the united states. airbnb recieves a warning from the european commission over its pricing policy.
1:45 pm
the home—sharing firm is told it needs to be clearer on its total costs after it recieved consumer complaints over hidden additional charges. hello, good afternoon, welcome to the business news. we're going to be talking about shopping this afternoon. shares in debenhams tumbled today after reports emerged over the weekend claiming the firm was suffering from a cash crunch. the sunday times said that some credit insurers had tightened their terms for debenhams suppliers, overfears they may not get paid. the retailer responded by saying its cash position was healthy. however, that wasn't enough for some investors, with debenhams shares falling as much as 7% today. joining me now is michael hewson, who's the chief market analyst at cmc markets. let recount over this. what are these concerns over insurance and
1:46 pm
suppliers? typically what happens is that suppliers supply retailers like debenhams on a credit facility where they send the goods over without being paid for them. these insurers have cut credit insurance to suppliers on the basis there was increased risk their debenhams may not be able to pay its suppliers. that is creating some concern about the retailers' cash position. ultimately, if they have to pay for these goods of france, that good negatively impacted cash flow position. these are significant concerns, because if you look at the last set of debenhams accounts, the free cash flow was around £63 million. compared to two years ago, £138 million, so there is a significant concern that if these credit concessions turn oh, debenhams could find it difficult to
1:47 pm
repay its suppliers. debenhams has been strong in defending itself, saying its cast position is strong. it will concentrate more on beauty, how could a strategy is that?” think it is concentrating on the wrong areas. debenhams is in the middle of a restructuring programme, i would argue 176 stories in the uk is too many. were seen retailers likejohn lewis is too many. were seen retailers like john lewis and is too many. were seen retailers likejohn lewis and house of fraser restructuring and closing stories. debenhams doesn't appear to be doing that. they are looking to sell their danish retailer and that should free up danish retailer and that should free up cash. i would argue they need to cut costs in other areas. they are still paying a dividend despite the fa ct still paying a dividend despite the fact the share price is below the levels it was in 2008—2009 when they embarked on their previous restructuring progress by devout process. i would argue that as a luxury they can ill afford. this is

1:48 pm
not the only retailer having problems on the high street, will we continue to see this on other colleagues? i certainly hope not. retailers are taking steps to address that is, the recently eased in the first quarter had a huge effect —— the beast from the east had a huge effect. companies are looking to stock up for christmas, so looking to stock up for christmas, so things should get better, but with a rise in oil prices and lacklustre wage growth, it will be a challenging environment for retailers. thank you. the uk space agency is giving scotland's highlands and islands enterprise £2.5 million towards the development of the uk's first spaceport on the a'mhoine peninsula in sutherland. it will work with a consortium that includes the american aerospace giant lockheed martin, looking to launch its first rockets in the 2020s. shares in chinese telecoms equipment maker zte surged more
1:49 pm
than 25% in hong kong. the company had been banned by washington from receiving american supplies after it was found to have done business with iran and north korea. to escape these sanctions, it's agreed to a fine of at least $1 billion and to replace its board of directors, and also to retain outside monitors. govia thameslink railway has launched its third new timetable in two months after two chaotic attempts to rebuild its schedules, which started in may. however, it does not seem to have been much more successful. it apologised in a tweet this morning, saying, "many customers have been affected by disruption to our services "and we are very sorry for that". and national savings and investments is cutting the interest rate it pays on its direct individual savings account. from the 24th of september, the rate will be reduced on its direct isa from 1.00% to 0.75%. some 387,000 people held direct isa accounts in march this year, holding a total of £4.6 billion. a look at the markets before we go.
1:50 pm
so the debenhams share price there. the pound has risen against the euro today with the background of the trump—putin talks and also former tory cabinet ministerjustine greening's call for a second referendum on brexit. it's doing even better against the dollar. that's all the business news. lastjuly, the british model chloe ayling was at the centre of a terrifying six—day kidnap ordeal in italy. her story dominated the front pages of every newspaper after it was revealed she was lured to a fake modelling assignment in milan then drugged, kidnapped and held hostage. her kidnapper, lukasz herba, aged 30 and a polish national from the west midlands, has been convicted and jailed for almost 17 years. another is awaiting trial, and yet still some people still accuse of her of making it all up. chloe has been speaking to victoria derbyshire, who started by asking what she remembers about when she was kidnapped. when i wasjust waking up, i was just too drowsy, didn't realise, am i on a plane,
1:51 pm
a boat, a car — i didn't know where i was and it took me a moment to realise that i was in a car. by hearing the handbrake and the engine, and the radio was an really loud. so it took me a while to wake up and i started to wonder, where am i? i felt restriction on my face. i felt like i was in an enclosed area, so i was just trying to gather where i am. as was waking up more, i tried to figure how to get out, and that was what i was trying to do. while i was in the car, i didn't know want the reason was, because they wouldn't speak to me. i didn't know, was i going to be raped or killed? i didn't know why, but when i was at their house, that's when i found out. and just to hear that, you've been taken for sex trafficking, it was just horrendous. what did you think was going to happen to you? i thought what he was saying was all true and i never doubted him for a minute, because he was just so detailed in all his responses to my questions. i never doubted what he was saying,
1:52 pm
i believed everything to be true. and just to fill our audience in, what your kidnapper said to you was, effectively, you were going to be auctioned several days later to the highest bidder. unless a ransom was paid. i knew i couldn't pay that. you describe the association with your kidnapper, and it became unusual, didn't it, in that... well, i'm not going to describe it as friends, but how would you describe that relationship? at the start it was very formal, obviously, and he wasjust talking facts to me. at this point, you were handcuffed to a chest of drawers? yes. from when i started sharing a bed with him, we would talk more, i would ask him questions, he would answer some of my questions. he'd talk about his life, and the more we started talking, the more i think the bond was forming. once i realised that he was starting to like me, i realised i had to use that to my advantage. when you say sharing a bed, do explain to our audience what you mean by that?
1:53 pm
on the second day, he would let me go to go to the toilet. so went to go back to the sleeping bag that i was on, and that's when he suggested sharing a bed. so i'm not going to turn that down when i'm trying to get on his good side, i was treading on eggshells around him to try and not upset him in any way. in the end, he drove you to the consulate — this is lukasz herba, the man who was convicted last month — he drove you to the consulate in milan. the initial plan was to drop you a short walk away, he was going to escape. it was a couple of hours till the consulate opened, so you decided to have breakfast together. witnesses told reporters later that you was seen laughing and joking in a cafe? we weren't laughing and joking, but that cafe discussion was basically... he gave me his business card that had an e—mail on the dark web, and that was how i would contact him about the bitcoin payment that i would have to make to him. and still, i was still needing him to be with me, i was so paranoid that what if someone else... because everyone from black death, in my mind, wanted me to be sold. he was the one that
1:54 pm
was against that. so i was still really reliant on him. so i had to keep making him smile and happy. if i was miserable and sad, it wouldn't get me anywhere. do you understand that people find it difficult to get their heads around that, that you were holding hands with this guy? yes, butjust think about it, why would you be offish with a person that is starting to have feelings for you and is relying on that to release you? obviously, i had to try and do everything i could to make him fall in love with me, in a way. you know that you've been accused of exploiting what happened to you in some kind of search for further fame and notoriety or money or whatever it is. what do you say about that? i just say that that's my way of recovering. it's helped me talk to people, keep myself busy, it's a big change for me to leave my model agent and not to do the jobs i was doing before. i had to just keep myself occupied. i spent the past year travelling to try and take my mind off it and put it as much
1:55 pm
in the past as possible. and what do you say, finally, to those people who, despite everything, despite the conviction, despite a man being jailed for 16 years, still don't think your story rings true? i think it's just ignorance, really, because that's such a complex case, to the point where i don't even really understand his motivations behind it. people are questioning me for his actions and this is a complete psychopath, crazy person. so itjust doesn't make sense that people are believing the media over the court. an underground station in north london has been temporarily renamed gareth southgate. it follows england's best result at a world cup since 1990. southgate station in enfield has had its signs changed until tomorrow night. we should all be proud, he did a good job. fantastic, really good.
1:56 pm
i mean, i'm proud of them. fourth place, no—one expected to be fourth place. i think it should stay forever! it's good, he should be rewarded. done well, yeah, it's good. now it's time for a look at the weather. thank you. good afternoon, changes to the ten case be the next few days. i'm sure people will be grateful for fresh days. i'm sure people will be gratefulforfresh air, days. i'm sure people will be grateful for fresh air, though still the chances of showers. some showers in northern ireland today, cooler conditions here and on the west side of scotland. though towards the southeast of the uk, still hot and humid and temperatures rising to 30 degrees sorry, humid and temperatures rising to 30 degrees soi’i’y, so. humid and temperatures rising to 30 degrees sorry, so. this weather
1:57 pm
front is wrapped around hurricane chris, staying up towards iceland. this band is on the steen, moving very slowly eastwards. quite wet in western parts of wales and the north east of england. cooler area behind that rain and humid area as well. you can see the change in temperatures either side of that front, even in the humidity, some showers are writing. another band of thick clouds and a line of rain, heavy bursts in there. we still have rain moving away from eastern parts of scotland, but writer, fresh air from the west, sunshine for northern ireland, but also showers to end the day. this ragged area of rain pushing eastwards. not guaranteed to get the rain, particularly in the
1:58 pm
south east, it does move that over the north sea. cooler area too, temperatures lola, a more co mforta ble temperatures lola, a more comfortable night for sleeping. still warm for a while in the south east, though feeling fresher tomorrow. starting bright and sunny, the cloud building and the enough for showers. probably right across the northern half of the uk, and the south east will stay dry. not as warm is today or as humid, temperatures in the north up to 20 celsius. a few showers in the middle of the week. at one stage, it looked like this system was going to bring rain across the whole of the uk by the end of the week, that doesn't look like happening now, the rain petering out over scotland. some showers in areas, but on the whole, fine in dry, turning one in england
1:59 pm
and wales. hello, you're watching afternoon live. i'm simon mccoy. today at 2pm: a historic handshake, as donald trump says ties with russia have "never been worse". he tells president putin, "we need to get along". i think we will end up having an extraordinary relationship. i hope so. i've been saying it, and i'm sure you've heard over the years, and as i campaigned, that getting along with russia is a good thing, not a bad thing. theresa may comes under intense pressure to change her brexit plan — as another tory mp quits the government — and a second says the cabinet is so divided there should be a second referendum we have to recognise that parliament's reached an impasse and find a way through anyway. that's why i think you have to take the decision out of the hands of deadlocked politicians and put it back into the hands of the british people. new figures show the number of eu citizens leaving the uk last year is the highest on record.
