for me to go into f1, and then that's the moment i'm able to show everything i've got. at the belgian grand prix last season, mick drove his father's benetton car around the track, a tribute to past successes and a glimpse at the potential that lies ahead. time for a look at the weather. here's mel coles. yes, cooler conditions are creeping their way southwards and by tomorrow we will all notice that difference. it has already moved into parts of scotland, where we are seeing some sunshine but also some showers just as the rain has been working through england it has been creating quite cloudy and murky conditions. you can see the culprit right nicely on our radar picture, the first weather fronts up and down towards the south and the easter, the second slipping gci’oss and the easter, the second slipping across parts of scotland and into northern england, with the chavez slipping into parts of scotland and northern ireland. as the day goes on there will be a lot of fine and dry

weather in the south—east corner of the country. here we will get to see some sunshine but the wind is quite brisk. you will notice it wherever you are, particularly in scotland and northern ireland. temperatures today noticeably down. yesterday we saw 27 in lincolnshire, today a best temperature of 23 celsius, widely in the mid—to high teens. heading into this evening the cooler air floods further southwards, squeezing out humid conditions completely as we head into the overnight period. overnight there will be a lot of clear spells, particularly through england and wales. further showers feeding into northern ireland and up into north—west scotland and some of them will come down into lancashire and cumbria. no noticeably fresher, we're looking widely at single figures but even 12 celsius in the south—east will feel much cooler. a much fresh start to friday morning. some good spells of sunshine around. but we have got quite a brisk

north—westerly wind which will contain further showers, particularly through scotland and northern ireland and into northern england. some of them could be quite heavy. one or two will make it further east and it will feel much cooler. into the weekend, then, we've got quite a fresh wind down the east coast on saturday morning, which will gradually start to ease. a lot of fine weather around, just the risk of one or two showers. in the risk of one or two showers. in the sunshine it should feel fairly pleasant. temperatures more less the same as today. heading into sunday there's a that bit of uncertainty about this area of rain which is going to come in from the west. i think it will reach parts of the isles of scilly and the south—west up isles of scilly and the south—west up into wales and northern ireland and scotland. the further east you are the more likely it is that you will stay dry for a little bit longer but the cloud. to increase and temperatures, well, still staying fresh on sunday. heading into monday that rain clearing eastwards and it will feel fresh.

so, that fresher theme continues, certainly for the next few days, but there is a lot of dry weather around. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime guidance has been issued for individuals and businesses about what to do if britain leaves the eu without a deal. the brexit secretary says the government has a responsibility to plan for every eventuality. you're watching bbc news. the time isi:33pm. i'm olly foster at the bbc sport centre. james vince is back in the england squad

for the fourth test against india at southampton next week. that's the hampshire captain's home ground where he has been in good form. he was dropped by england after a poor winter in australia and new zealand, but returns as cover forjonny bairstow who has a broken finger. here's our cricket correspondent jonathan agnew. it isn't just the it isn'tjust the number of runs that vince has scored but it is the manner in which they have been. important match—winning contribution is that were asked of him when he was dropped. where he plays depends entirely on their stoke‘s finesse. we know he won't be keeping wicket but batting and fielding can also be too much of a risk. there is also a chance that moeen ali could return. jennings retains his place despite growing concerns of his form and also that of his partner kick that —— cook. the gloucester fly—half, danny cipriani has been givenjust a reprimand by the rfu after his arrest injersey last week but he is free to play. he pleaded guilty to common assault and resisting arrest following an incident at a nightclub and was fined £2,000 in court, and also the same amount by his club.

an rfu disciplinary panel upheld the misconduct charge against him but decided against further sanction. his club coach doesn't think the incident should affect cipriani's england career. you can only select your strongest side. if he is going to be one of that 33 representing england then surely england can have a discussion with him. danny is not stupid, he knows he has learnt a lesson and he will move on. the ultimate judgment has to be what he does on the rugby field. i think that is the way to go forward. the players in spain's top division could go on strike, that's in response to la liga's plans to stage one match a season in the us. representatives from all 20 sides met with their union yesterday, incuding real madrid captain sergio ramos and barcelona vice—captain sergio busquets. a 15—year deal with a us media company was agreed last week to take la liga matches to the states.

the union says its members were notconsulted and are — "surprised "and indignant that their views were not taken into account "in an agreement which affects them directly." three british clubs are hoping to take a big step towards the europa league group stages tonight. celtic and rangers are in action, and burnley are in greece to face olympiakos in the first leg of their play—off round. sean dyche says it'll be the toughest test his side have faced in europe so far. the prestige of any tournament is when you play against the big names. as you rightly say they have a history here and a knowledge of the european scene of football. that is in theirfavour european scene of football. that is in their favour slightly. the tiger woods and phil mickelson head—to—head is on. it will be a $9 million winner takes all matchplay dual in las vegas in november...

the pair — who have 19 major titles between them — have had something of a frosty relationship down the years. they will meet at the shadow creek course and it will be screened on pay per view tv, which you imagine is how the prize money will be funded. they'll wear microphones so viewers can hear what they're saying to each other out on the course. they might have two bleep some of that. that is all the sport for now. i will be back on afternoon life after tpm. —— after 2pm. let's get more on one of our top stories — the government has published the first set of documents, advising people how to cope with the consequences of a no—deal brexit. 25 papers , on subjects including nuclear regulation, workplace rights, medicines and banking, have been released. speaking in westminster this morning, the brexit secretary stressed that a good brexit could be delivered — whatever the outcome of the negotiations. while we are striving for the best

outcome and a good deal from these negotiations, we stand ready to deliver brexit for the british people if there is no deal by managing and mitigating the risks, by rising to the challenges and by seizing the opportunities that lie ahead. i think, in reality, many of the no—deal challenges will affect the eu in similar or the same ways. for our part, if the negotiations fail, we would continue to pay, as a responsible european neighbour, partner and ally, and that would extend to the necessary engagement with our eu friends when it comes to no—deal planning. the brexit secretary also hit back at critics suggesting the uk's food supply would be severely hit by a no—deal. who is credibly suggesting in a no—deal scenario that the eu would not want to continue to sell food to uk consumers? in any event, we've set

out practical measures to mitigate any risk of disruption to supply through the recognition of eu food standards, our pursuit of equivalency arrangements on food regulation with the eu and indeed non—eu countries. and support for our farmers at home, in terms of financial funding streams. so let me reassure you that, contrary to one of the wilder claims, you will still be able to enjoy a blt after brexit and there are no plans to deploy the army to maintain food supplies. niall dickson is co—chair of the brexit health alliance — a lobby group bringing together the nhs, the medical research industry and public health organisations. he says the move is reassuring — but there's more work necessary. the government clearly is hoping for the best but has recognised that it must plan for the worst. there is no

doubt that in the area were for example, in the supply of medicines, it does present a serious risk. it will be an unprecedented territory. the guidance coming out today, admittedly quite high level, is starting to say that we will need six weeks of stockpiles of every medicine and medicines of a short sheu medicine and medicines of a short shelf life will need to arrange the potential of having f rate transport to avoid any blockages at the border. all these seemed sensible measures and oui’ border. all these seemed sensible measures and our members from the far suitable industry as well as the nhs have been working with the government to achieve this. there's a lot more detail on the pharmaceutical side to be worked through as well as with the nhs itself so that hospitals and other parts of the nhs are able to plan effectively. that was niall dickson talking to the bbc earlier.

the conservative mp john redwood is in westminster for us now. in terms of issuing the first batch of papers, where is the balance between reassuring the public that there are contingency plans in place thatis there are contingency plans in place that is alarming them when they think about some of the things that could be really quite problematic, next spring. i think the government through the brexit strategy is made very clear there won't be a food shortage and we will get the medicine that we need. they have been ultra—cautious on the medicine. people have you have contracts with the nhs will want to honour those contracts. the good news is that the government is not saying it wants to impose all sorts of barriers at our border and of course it is entirely in the government's control whether it makes it difficult to get medicines in through dover or not. but agencies are being urged for

example to stockpile medicines. our health editor has been sounding out a lot of people in this field this morning who say actually stockpiling six weeks of medicines in the space ofa six weeks of medicines in the space of a couple of hundred days is actually a very tall order. of a couple of hundred days is actually a very tall orderlj of a couple of hundred days is actually a very tall order. i think that's a bit over the top. but the government has been ultra—cautious. but this is what medical bodies are saying. they're asking the industry to do that. they're not saying the nhs needs new stock. my argument is there is no threat to the medical supply that is what the brexit secretary tried to tell us today as well. there are supply contracts that go beyond the date of our exit from the eu and those companies will wa nt to from the eu and those companies will want to honour those supply contracts and is no reason at all why the british government should mess up our ports and stop them getting in. but if you are an individual that has a condition and you absolutely rely on a specific

drug that understandably is going to cause alarm, isn't it? there is no need to have any alarm at all. why would there be any interruption to the supply for the reasons i have just described to you? the more general reason why we can't export things to the eu are completely nonsensical. we have no problems in exporting huge variety of things to china which is not a member of the eu and we do it under world trade organisation rules and that is exactly how we could do it with france and germany, similar with how we do trade with china and america. in many cases they are contracted to do it with strong legal obligations. those contracts will continues. another key area of concern as financial services. there are huge ramifications there. it is not an area of concern for me. i don't think that has become an issue of contention. the issue of contention has been these absurd scare stories

that we will run out of food and there won't be medicines and the planes when flight and i hope the government has said enough today to understand that this is complete nonsense. there is absolutely no chance whatsoever of flights to london being grounded after the ist of april and there is no chance of us of april and there is no chance of us running out of food. it is huge world markets and we know how to import it. but british citizens living in other eu countries are being warned that there could be issues in terms of accessing banking services, accessing private pension services. this is insurance companies for example laying out the practicalities here. that is not scaremongering. that is an insurance company saying so. they must sort out their own contracts with the people that have invested money with them. i don't see any reason there should be a problem with that kind of thing and i'm sure that customers will expect them to sort it out in good time. they have a good six months to do to. we will continue to

talk about this for much of the day. if you have any questions about what you've heard from the brexit secretary and the government's no—deal advice you can put them to anand menon, the director of uk in a changing europe at 3:30pm today on the bbc news channel. please send in your questions using the #bbc askthis. you can text 61124, or send them via email: askthis@bbc.co.uk. president trump has warned that any attempt to impeach him would result in the crash of the us economy. in an interview with fox news channel's fox & friends, mr trump also reacted to the conviction of two of his former aides earlier this week — his former personal lawyer —

michael cohen — and his former campaign chief — paul manafort. i didn't know manafort well, he wasn't with the campaign long. they got him with things totally unrelated to the campaign. and by the way, the got cohen on the things unrelated to the campaign. i'm not involved, i wasn't charged with anything. people like to say that, but i wasn't charged. michael cohen, tell me about your relationship with him? well, he was a lawyer for me, one of many. the always "the lawyer" and then they add "the fixer". i don't know if he was a fixer, i don't know where that term came from. but he was a lawyer for me, didn't do big deals, did small deals. not somebody that was with me that much. they make it sound like i didn't live without him. i understood michael cohen very well. it turned out he wasn't a very good lawyer, frankly. but he was somebody that was probably with me for about ten years and i would see him sometimes. but when i had deals, big deals,

i had outside lawyers and a lot of inside lawyers too in addition to michael. i always found him to be a nice guy. president trump talking to the fox news channel. let's cross now to chris buckler who is in washington for us. i think ithinki i think i right in saying that this is the first formal sit down interview that the president has done since the conviction of guilty pleas earlier in the week. he turned to his favourite cable news programme which is fox and friends which she regularly tweet about and follows along with their stories. even commenting on them. what you saw was a president who is normally quite dismissive and defiant, who seem to be on the defensive, trying to distance himself from michael cullen, a man who was his personal

lover. at the same time he is going to find it very difficult to distance himself from those payments that we re himself from those payments that were made, to try and stop two women talking about their alleged affairs with donald trump head of the election. in court michael cohen specifically is said that those payments were arranged at the orders of the president himself in order to influence the election. he is trying to avoid the suggestion that they came from campaign finance funds, he is trying to say that they came from his own pockets but you get a sense ofa man his own pockets but you get a sense of a man who has been damaged by these revelations and of course he also mentioned in his interview and a nswered also mentioned in his interview and answered questions about the possibility of impeachment. the fact

he is even answering those questions is something itself. there has been some talk since the convictions of whether there could be a pardon. analysts said that could be very high stakes. what is being said in washington today about those sorts of possibilities? particularly talking about a pardon for paul manafort, his former campaign chairman. his former lawyer has already dismissed the idea of a pardon. saying he actually wants to speak to the special counsel robert miller and has information that might influence. now, donald trump was specifically asked today about paul manafort and about whether or not he was prepared to pardon him. it was a question he somewhat avoided. on the question of the possibility of impeachment, he was rather more forthcoming, suggesting that if he was to be impeached it

would lead to a crash in wall street, leave americans poorer and they argued, "how could you impeach when you're doing such a good job? " dou btless when you're doing such a good job? " doubtless more analysis of that interview there in the us later this afternoon. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news... brexit secretary dominic raab has set out what he called "practical and proportionate" advice in case the uk leaves the eu with no deal a rise in the number of students passing their gcses following the biggest shake—up to the exam system in a generation 12 people have been arrested and charged in connection with allegations of child abuse at a home run by an order of nuns in lanarkshire. i'm rachel horne in the business news. ryanair‘s share price soars

after it strikes a deal with its pilot's trade union. the airline's pilots had threatened more strikes unless they received better working conditions. the agreement will be a relief to ryanair‘s shareholders, the share price is up 7%. the trade war between the united states and china ramps up as new us tariffs against chinese products come into effect. the new 25% tax will effect a further £121; billion worth of goods. beijing immeidatley retaliated with taxes on the same value of us products. the mega supermarket merger between sainsbury‘s—asda is under investigation by the uk's competition watchdog. the deal will be investigated to see if it reduces consumer choice and lead to higher prices. and saudi arabia has denied reports that its planning to cancel the listing of state oil giant aramco. saudi arabia's energy minister said the government will go ahead with the flotation "when the appropriate circumstances are present" — which has been billed as the largest ever and is expected to be worth around £i.5 trillion.

today the uk government has publsihed advice on what to do if the uk leaves the eu with no deal. 25 documents were published this morning covering sectors including medicine, finance and farming. the business world was paying close attention after months, if not years, of calling for more clarity. joining us now form our edinburgh studio's is allie renison, who's the head of europe and trade policy at the institute of directors — allie what's your reaction to these documents? what have you been hearing from your members? i think they are long overdue. for the last 18 months what our members have effectively been relying on his guidance from ourselves and also the long list of notices that the eu itself has sent out. a lot of businesses are waiting for what the government has said it is going to

do under this no deal scenario. i think there is a lot of good information in there explaining how things work currently and how they would work and move to on the day after a no deal. we would like to see more information on clarity on what kind of mitigating action in steps the government would take and steps the government would take and steps that it could control which is missing from this tranche of documents to help reassure businesses that there could be some action taken to reduce the impacts of no deal. what do you know now that you didn't know yesterday? from my own perspective it is not that much news but for a lot of businesses, particularly those trading with the eu only, it is understanding how the rules that currently govern the trade we have with the eu and moving away from those under no deal scenario would impact them. a lot of companies don't understand what the impacts

would be along the supply chain. this is giving some important basics but also details to companies that to date would feel they didn't have enough information to make those changes. was there anything you were hoping to hear today which wasn't included? i think one of the big questions for a lot of our members particularly in northern ireland is how things would function in that respect. we would have liked to have seen more suggestions and guidance from the government on what measures they would take to reduce potential frictions at the border. there were some references about talking to the irish government about it. no doubt there will be some more information particularly on the citizen right file in the next batch of documents but the bigger question is when we get closer to that no deal timeline is what and when does this government think that businesses should be making those changes. chinese smartphone maker huawei says the australian government has banned it from providing 5g technology for the country's wireless networks. the firm also said fellow

smartphone maker zte had been banned, reportedly due to national security concerns. superfast "fifth generation 5g" mobile internet could be launched as early as next year in some countries. a danish vessel setting sail from vladivostok this week is set to become the first container ship to tackle the arctic sea route north of russia. the vessel which is carrying 3,600 containers, hopes to reach st petersburg by late september. and profits at qantas have surged despite a rise in the price of fuel. net profit at australia's national airline was up 15% to more than $700—million over the past year. aggressive restructuring has seen the airline slash jobs, reduce its fleet and cut loss—making routes. let's have a look at what the markets have been up to. a lot of the markets globally really focused on that step up of the us and china,

that trade war, the extra tariffs today. it means in total 100 billion dollars worth of goods of exports from the us and china have been slapped with these 25% tariffs. they are in talks at the minute but there isa are in talks at the minute but there is a threat of more tariffs to be applied in future. sainsbury‘s are down 0.5%. that is due to the investigation into their merger with asda. we expected that merger would be investigated so just a slight slip in the sainsbury‘s share prices. much more coming up from 2pm. now it's time for the weather prospects. cooler conditions are creeping their way southwards. we will notice a difference in our weather from tomorrow. we are seeing some blue skies as well as some rain. this is
