thank you, phil. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. how was it looking? we have made it to the last day of august. and for meteorologists, the last day of summer, but for some but it felt like autumn had already arrived for some, predicted across highland scotland were some places we re highland scotland were some places were below freezing. in northern ireland and eastern england and even in the south—west, there were temperatures of three or 4 degrees. a cool start but things will change towards the weekend. this system pushing in from the west which will bring some cloud and a bit of rain, most will be dry with high pressure and this can bring is warmer air from the south. by day and night you can expect the temperatures to climb through the weekend. mostly dry and we will have some spells of sunshine. this is the rest of the afternoon, most plate is fine with sunny spells, the small chance of a show in the south—east and things

clouding over as one of those fronts approaches in the west. by four o'clock back a bit of extra cloud and maybe some rain in the far west of cornwall but the further east you 90, of cornwall but the further east you go, mort spells of sunshine apart from the small chance of a show in the south—east —— more spells. clouding over in northern ireland and maybe some rain here later, much of scotla nd and maybe some rain here later, much of scotland holding onto sunshine but it will be breezy in the western isles with temperatures in aberdeen around 17 degrees. that evening and overnight, the fronts in the west will make some more progress eastwards but because it is running into northern ireland, western scotland, wales and the south—west and with that a significantly milder night than last night. temperatures around 14 degrees in the west but further east it will be cooler, maybe not as chilly as last night but those areas will have the best sunshine tomorrow morning and in eastern and southern parts we will keep some sunny spells through the

day. out west, the weaker funds continue to bring cloud and missed and muggy conditions, some drizzle —— week fronts. high teens in scotland, 20 in belfast, part of the south—east could reach 2a degrees. 0n south—east could reach 2a degrees. on sunday, a similar story, the best sunshine in eastern and southern areas, always more cloud in the west but we could have some heavier and more persistent rain come into northern ireland and western scotland, turning breezy as well. the temperatures apart from the far north—west up into the 20s. and another one day coming on monday, particularly in the south—east. a lot of dry weather but some rain pushing southward and by tuesday it will be cooler and fresher. after an autumnal morning this morning, the weekend might show us that summer isn't quite done yet. that do here at! thank you. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime. fresh allegations of poor treatment are to be investigated at shrewsbury and telford nhs trust

which is already undergoing a review of maternity care. a significant delay to the opening of a major section of crossrail — the london link due in december won't now be operational until autumn next year. 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. well, a short time ago 43—year—old man and a woman who is 36 both made their first appearance here at the 0ld their first appearance here at the old bailey, charged with female genital mutilation. hello. you're watching bbc use and here is the latest sports news. england's bowlers took two wickets before lunch on day two at the test against england. england's batsmen look settled at the crease. they are 100-2, look settled at the crease. they are 100—2, chasing india's total. 0ur

correspondence has been watching. how will england fuel, do you think? well, i suspect they will feel rather deflated. as you say, that score of 246 after that early debacle was always going to be a very difficult score to defend, particularly with the quality that india possess with the bat. let's ta ke india possess with the bat. let's take a look at the scorecard. 100—2 they are at lunch. just those two wickets to go down. there was a lbw. so wickets to go down. there was a lbw. 50100-2. wickets to go down. there was a lbw. so 100—2. 0ne wickets to go down. there was a lbw. so 100—2. one note of caution for england is that virat kohli is now out of the wicket. he is going along nicely indeed. he passed 6000 career test runs earlier. he really has been england's tormentor during this series so he is the key man. england

need to get him out if they are to get further wickets this afternoon. they have looked as if they have run out of ideas a little bit already. keatonjennings, the out of ideas a little bit already. keaton jennings, the opening batsmen, even turning his arm over asa batsmen, even turning his arm over as a bowler. so england really need to find something this afternoon. in these conditions, it could be a very long afternoon for them in the field. back with you later on. jose mourinho has been defending his record as a manager. he has been facing questions about united's poor start to the season. they played bernie and jose mourinho is still adamant that he is one of the best managers in the world.” adamant that he is one of the best managers in the world. i am the only managers in the world. i am the only manager in the world's managers in the world. i am the only manager in the worlds that one italy, spain, and england. and by winning eight titles, not small titles, not small countries, eight proper titles, my second position last season is one of my greatest achievements in football. onto

tennis and the us tennis association is look into nick krygios win after the umpire got down from his chair and encouraged nick krygios to try harder. he was losing by a set and a break at the time and went on to win after the umpire intervened. he plays roger federer next at his third—round opponent has criticised the umpire, saying that criticising players isn't in their role, but nick krygios says it wasn't quite like that. he said he liked me. i don't know if that's encouragement. but again, he was just telling me it wasn't a good look. i wasn't feeling good. i know what i was doing up there wasn't good. i wasn't really listening to him, but i knew it wasn't a good look. but it didn't help me at all. i don't think he has to go down and take the position of a coach like you can see on the wta tour. i don't think... i don't know

yet if it would have changed something, ijust know that he doesn't have to do that. novak djokovic are through to the third round as well. he will play gasget next. wozniacki has been knocked out after winning herfirst next. wozniacki has been knocked out after winning her first grand slam in australia earlier this year. she has filled to get beyond the third round in three major tours. no such problem for sharapova. through to the third—round. and you same bolt —— usain bolt has taken a step to becoming a professional footballer. he came on as a substitute for the australian central coast mariners in a pre—season friendly. he was hoping to impress enough to get a deal ahead of the new season. mixed reviews on his performance, we hear. i will have more for you in the next

hour. all right, thanks very much. let's get the latest from brussels where the eu's chief negotiator michel barnier has been holding talks with the brexit secretary dominic raab. barnier said they had discussed security cooperation after britain leaves the eu. a short while ago, the pair gave this update on their progress. translation: good day. hello and welcome to you all. we are very happy to see you again after a long working morning with dominic raab and his team. this week, we took stock of the discussions, as we shall do frequently of the work done with her technical teams. what did

you specifically this week? well, we work together on the framework of our future relationship and in particular we discussed a subject which is extremely important and serious, which is the security of our citizens, the stability of the continent. 0n internal security matters, we are prepared to build an ambitious partnership with the united kingdom. in a few months, as it desires, once it has become a third country and if it remains outside the schengen agreement. a swing to the guidelines of the european council, that is a partnership which would be made up of four pillars, and effective exchange of information, first of all, support to cooperation in law enforcement, judicial cooperation in criminal matters, and an ambitious

partnership together to fight money laundering and the financing of terrorism. the white paper produced by the united kingdom content, and i'll repeat that, some positive guarantees on the protection of fundamental rights and a recognition of the role of the court ofjustice of the role of the court ofjustice of the role of the court ofjustice of the european union as final arbiter of european union law. but we now have two discussed how in concrete terms that is translated into practicalfor. now, subject to reciprocity and guarantees as to procedural rights of suspects, we have, i think, procedural rights of suspects, we have, ithink, all the procedural rights of suspects, we have, i think, all the necessary building bricks to build a close and effective relationship between the union and the united kingdom on a series of subjects which are very important for the citizens.

mechanisms for extradition, a framework therefore, reciprocity on passenger data to be able to trace and follow individuals involved in terrorism, and the exchange of data on dna, fingerprints, and vehicles. with dominic raab i looked at a number of questions of foreign policy, external security and defence matters. there is broad convergence of view on the ambition that we both want for our future cooperation and on which are necessary to implement. that level of cooperation. and finally, in this chapter on security, we also discussed galileo. ijust want chapter on security, we also discussed galileo. i just want to repeat that the european union has offered to the united kingdom close cooperation months ago we made this offer. the civilian and commercial galileo signal will of course remain

accessible to the united kingdom and to businesses in the uk within the framework of our new partnership. 0ur framework of our new partnership. our offer includes as well access to the so—called p r s signal, the public regulator service, on the basis of an agreement which will be negotiated with the united kingdom as we are doing at the moment with other allies, the us and norway. and now it is up to the united kingdom to decide whether, as they wish, they would like to get involved in that close cooperation. now, ladies and gentlemen, will be future cooperation matters, trade, specific forms of cooperation, internal security, external security, foreign policy and defence, our objective is with the united kingdom to build a partnership without precedent, as i have said on a number of occasions over the last few months, and as i

stated once again the day before yesterday in berlin. the second subject of our long morning's work was, of course, to look at and make progress on some of the outstanding issues of the withdrawal agreement itself, and the condition for any future cooperation. now, just a few salient points, if you matters of the withdrawal agreement, which are still outstanding. 0n geographical indications, 3000 geographical indications, 3000 geographical indications of the 28 countries of the european union, once again i expressed my concern. the eu's position is clear. brexit must not lead to the loss of rights in intellectual property which exist now. we have two protect the whole stock of geographical indications and that is an international obligation no less. and since this is one of these objects which is

related to the separation, it of course has to be made clear in the withdrawal agreement, so we shall be returning to the subject, a subject on which we have to find a solution in the withdrawal agreement. another subject of the separation is the protection of personal data, data which will be sent to the uk up to the end of the permitting phase, the transition period, by for example banks are insurance companies or even by the police. this is an important matter. it is an important matter for citizens, but also for the economy and for security itself, andi the economy and for security itself, and i think dominic raab it is fair to say that we are making genuine and good progress. all the other subjects of the separation, the procedures of the union, the government of the agreement itself will be discussed over the next few weeks. and then finally, ladies and gentlemen, just a reminder about ireland and northern ireland. now,

we must have a detailed backstop solution which is legally operational in the withdrawal agreement. the prime minister, theresa may, committed herself to this, as have all the leaders of european union institutions, the parliament, for example, it is a matter of some urgency. we have to work on drafting an operational backstop, and for that i have asked dominic raab and his team together isa dominic raab and his team together is a certain amount of data which is necessary for the technical work which we need now on the data on the place and how the necessary controls and checks take place. this backstop is critical. it is essential to conclude the negotiations because, asi conclude the negotiations because, as i said, with no backstop, there will be no agreement. now, ladies and gentlemen, our work is continuing. it is going to continue. i would like to say, see you next

week. dominic raab, please, take it from here. thank you again for posting a few from brussels and can i also thank both of the technical teams on the brussels side and also on the uk side for their excellent work. we had a very good session today and made valuable progress. 0n the withdrawal agreement, we are making further progress each week. 0n data protection, on the governance issues including dispute resolution, on the link between withdrawal agreement and the future relationship that we are forging together. and also almost issues around administrative and judicial procedures. all in all, i think the contours of an agreement and a deal, a withdrawal agreement, are becoming clearer and clearer, which is a positive. northern ireland, we remain committed to giving effect to the drudge report, continuing the work on the potential solutions, working with michel barnier and his team on some of the issues he has raised, and continuing to drive that forward. the solutions must be workable. they have got to be

workable. they have got to be workable for the communities living in northern ireland and living in the republic of ireland, the people affected in their daily lives by what michel barnier and i are negotiating on behalf of the eu and uk at the moment. 0n the future relationship, i think there is also real progress on the security issues in the way michel barnier described. we do feel on the uk side we need to be even more ambitious. i understand the eu position and the legalism that underpins that and the principles that underpin it. but the starting point for the uk is always on the security that we want to maintain as much operational cooperation as is feasible to keep our citizens safe, uk citizens, european citizens, and we have made clear and i continue to affirm that europe's security is the uk's security. 0n the economic partnership, we have talked through further the uk proposals to make sure we can answer any questions that elucidate and clarify some of

the points. we understand also the eu restraint and the legal framework that underpins those restraints that they are based on, and there is clearly more work to do. we must remember that beyond brussels or the westminster village or the politicians or civil servants involved in working this through, that actually there are real people affected by the trade negotiations, whether it is the jobs and livelihoods of uk firms and uk workers are at the jobs and livelihoods of european and eu workers and we have got to be really ambitious for them in this negotiation. we remain committed to accelerating and intensifying our negotiations. i think we have done well on the substance and there is a good and alnwick between the two teams that we are committed to the october council. there is maybe some flex ability but we are committed to resolving the deal by then. and ultimately on my side i am stubbornly optimistic that a deal is

within reach. if both sides grasp the opportunity. the brexit secretary, dominic raab, saying he is stubbornly optimistic. before that, the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier. more on that over the course of the afternoon. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news. the number of people aged 85 and over — needing round the clock care — is set to double by 2035 — experts warn of a looming ‘crisis‘ police investigating the stabbings of a mother and daughter in solihull arrest a 21—year—old man. the launch of london s new crossrail line is postponed til autumn next year — nine months late. in the business news: coca—cola is buying the costa coffee chain from owner whitbread in a deal worth £3.9bn.

whitbread, which also owns the premier inn hotel chain, had been planning to demerge costa, but said the coca—cola deal offered a far better return for shareholders. ticket reseller viagogo is being taken to court by the competition watchdog accused of failing to make additional fees clear. the cma warned four ticket resellers to change their ways last year, and digital minister margot james even warned the public not to use viagogo. of the four, viagogo is the only one that's not made changes so it's been taken to court. diy retailer homebase faces a make—or—break shareholder vote on its future on friday. the chain — where 70% of outlets are losing money — has proposed closing 42 stores and cutting rents on others as part of a rescue plan. more now on homebase — a crucial day for the diy retailer, as it's facing a make—or—break vote by its creditors.

the company was bought by a private equity firm hilco for £1 injune. the chain, where 70% of the stores are losing money, is proposing closing 42 stores and slashing rents on others. among the creditors voting today, it is the landlords who are stuck between a rock and a hard place. they are not the biggest creditors, but if they vote for the plan they will see the rents, their income, fall dramatically. if they vote against it, the stores, their tenants, will go out of business and they'll have to look for new ones. joining us now is george macdonald, executive editor at retail week. another voluntary agreement for a retailer. the landlord is getting hammered at the retailers trying to restructure. it has happened a lot, hasn't it? it has. this really has been the year of the cva in retail

so far. i think the really important point in each case is whether there isa point in each case is whether there is a viable business to come out of the process at the end. in the case of homebase, i suspect there is, and the landlords need to weigh up whether they can take a haircut in the meantime until homebase is put back on track. the landlords don't actually have the majority of the vote. because they are not the biggest creditors. it is actually the other creditors. they will probably way this one through.|j think they will. unlike some of the other cva agreements that there have been, homebase has a few things going for it. it is in the position it is because of terrible mismanagement over a relatively short period by the former owners. the owners polarise opinion in retail. however, they have done some good turnarounds. retail. however, they have done some good turna rounds. for retail. however, they have done some good turnarounds. for instance, they bought hmv. a lot of people thought that wouldn't survive, but it is

still trading some years on. you can put away all the stores but you have to have a good management plan, a good business plan which is going to work. did they get the online side of things matched in with the bricks and mortar aside, because that seems to be the key to retail these days? i don't think that was the case of homebase. under the former owner and australian retailer west farmers, they made changes to the range, they got rid of the uk management on day one when they came in. they were arrogant and how they went about things. before they bought it, homebase was a profitable business. and so i really think it is about getting some of the in—store basics right more than it is about the rise of online shopping. that is not what has hit homebase. is it not? i am surprised you say that because right the way across retail it is an mind thatis the way across retail it is an mind that is making these great inroads and people going to the stores and they see what they want and then they see what they want and then they go and look for it online,

probably from somebody else. they do in some categories. diy has probably been a bit slower to move online than other sectors. with the exception of businesses like screwfix that were almost built around that model. most retail sales is still made restorers. certainly the rise of online is transforming the rise of online is transforming the landscape and retailers, traditional retailers, need to adjust. they need to have a month multichannel business in the mains or that they have online arms to complement their bricks and mortar. but online, you can't lay the blame of homebase‘s problems at the door of homebase‘s problems at the door of online. ok. thanks very much indeed. the average home in the uk is now 2% more expensive than it was a year ago. that's according to the nationwide. however, that growth rate is half a percentage point less than it was last month so prices are going up at a slower rate than in july. the average home now costs £214,745.

and if you're in london and have been waiting for the new crossrail line to get you to work quicker, you've been waiting nine years since building started, you're goig to have to wait a little longer. it's now been kicked back to autumn 2019, nine months after its scheduled launch. transport for london said more time is needed "to ensure a safe and reliable railway for customers from day one". and president donald trump has threatened to pull the us out of the world trade organization, claiming it treats his country unfairly. the wto was established to provide basic rules for global trade and resolve disputes between countries. mr trump says the body too often rules against the us. in the markets. whitbread, looking

very strong. up 60%. massive game there. they did a very good deal there. they did a very good deal there. it purchased the company back in 1995, and made a great deal of money out of that. there was also a great move among shareholders to de—merge. they felt it wasn't really getting in with the rest of the company. they did that and they made a lot of cash. oil, down a touch. the pound against the euro pretty much the same as it was yesterday. only a tenth of a sense different. that's all the business news. now it's time for a look at the weather. good afternoon. if you woke up this morning, you might have had a bit of a shock because it felt pretty autumnal out there, even though we're still on the last day of

august. temperatures in some spots got well below freezing, down to minus two celsius, or closing after that. for celsius and many other places across the uk. that is going to change as we go into the weekend. frontal systems trying to squash and from the west, bringing the odd spot of rain. high—pressure holding firm across eastern areas. this is the sort of weather setup that will allow us to bring in some former air from the south. those temperatures are going to start to climb by day and by night. a warmerfeel this weekend. and for most others it will be dry with a little bit of sunshine in places. the rest of the afternoon looks like this. plenty of fine for scotland's. out west, we see cloud thickening up across northern ireland and parts of the far south—west of england. a bit of patchy rain into west cornwall later in the day. further east, some styles of sunshine. just the terms of the small shower. i for northern england. temperatures in leeds around 20 celsius. a bit of patchy

rain in northern ireland. the same applies to the western isles of scotland, where it will also be turning breezy. eastern scotland should hold onto some brightness until the day is done. and then we go through this evening and it tonight and the front in the west will stagger a little bit further eastwards but remember it is running into high pressures were struggling to make much progress. cloudy in the west and mild in the west as well. temperatures much higher than they we re temperatures much higher than they were last night in glasgow, belfast, plymouth. around about 14 celsius. further east, on the cold side. eastern areas will also see the best of the sunshine during tomorrow morning. across eastern scotland and eastern and southern england, we will hold a decent sized bowl through the day. more in the way of cloud out west. misty and market conditions and the odd spot of drizzle. we are looking at highs into the high teens across scotland. 20 celsius for northern ireland. 20-22dc 20 celsius for northern ireland. 20—22dc for southern england. into sunday and the best of the sunshine will be across eastern and southern

parts of the uk. further west, thickening cloud and actually some slightly heavier, slightly more persistent rain at this stage into northern ireland and western scotland. breezy again in the far north—west and almost everywhere will get up into the 20s. one again towards the south—east on monday but we will see some rain slipping south—eastwards. by tuesday, things mostly divert fresher. hello, you're watching afternoon live. today at 2pm: fresh allegations of poor treatment are to be investigated at shrewsbury and telford nhs trust, where an investigation is already under way into the deaths of several babies. the number of elderly people needing round—the—clock care will almost double in england over the next 20 years — experts warn of a "looming crisis" in the care system. a significant delay to the opening of a major section of crossrail. the london link due in december won't now be operational until autumn next year.
