hello, you're watching afternoon live. i'm simon mccoy. today at 2pm. decision day for labour, the party's national executive meets to decide whether to accept in full an international definition of anti—semitism. i've made no secret of my view that we should have the full definition, the irha definition into our document. i've obviously said that over the summer. i hope that that is what the nec does. the boss of tsb, one of britain's biggest high street banks, is standing down after the it fiasco that left customers locked out of their accounts. how old is your heart? 7 chances are it's a lot older than you are. we look at the online test to determine your risk of a heart attack or a stroke. coming up on afternoon live all the sport. roger ferrer says he was happy the match was over. that was his reaction to a shock fourth—round loss after us open this morning. the five—time champion couldn't get a handle on the hot conditions saying was struggling to breathe.

handle on the hot conditions saying was struggling to breathem handle on the hot conditions saying was struggling to breathe. it is fairly quiet on the weather fronts today. i think we will need our umbrellas towards the end of the week but today it is looking fine. thanks, thomasz. also coming up, well, on the basis you can't get enough of him. there's more from thomasz. as we combine his weather knowledge and his artistic skill to show you how hurricanes happen. rival protest groups are demonstrating outside labour headquarters this afternoon as the party's ruling national executive is meeting to decide whether to adopt, in full, the international definition of anti—semitism. jewish groups, trade union leaders and many labour mps have urged the party to change its stance, and to defuse allegations

of anti—semitism that have dogged the party leadership for months now. our political correspondent iain watson reports. these demonstrations outside labour's headquarters today underline just how controversial and emotional the party's position on anti—semitism has become. so canjeremy corbyn detoxify a row that has raged all summer? he is on his way to a meeting of labour's ruling national executive which will look again at how the party tackles the issue. jeremy corbyn‘s deputy says labour should accept in full all the examples of anti—semitism set out by the international holocaust remembrance alliance. well, i make no secret of my view that we should have the full irha definition into our document. i've obviously said that over the summer. i hope that that is what the nec does. that includes every example?

every example of anti—semitism so that we can be very clear that we are serious about tackling anti—semitism both in the labour party and in wider society. so what is at issue? back injuly, labour's national executive accepted an international definition of anti—semitism which makes it clear it is a form of racism. but it angered jewish mps and many in the wider community when it didn't incorporate into a new code of conduct four of the accompanying 11 examples of anti—semitic behaviour. that is accusing people of being more loyal to israel than their home country. expecting higher standards of behaviour from israel than other nations. and comparing israeli policies to the nazis. labour says it has simply reworded and in some cases strengthened these examples. but one example, claiming israel's existence as a state is a racist endeavour was resisted byjeremy corbyn and his supporters as they felt this would restrict the free speech of palestinians in particular. tensions are still running high here and under pressure, it looks as if labour's ruling national executive will agree to accept all the internationally defined examples of anti—semitism. but it's also likely

that they will make crystal clear that party members should be free to criticise the government of israel as long as there is no other evidence of anti—semitic intent. some in thejewish committee say there is no need for any caveats. it would be helpful of course if critics were to actually read what the definition says. i actually think that the examples in the definition are very helpful on that very point, what it says is that it is not anti—semitic to criticise israel if the standards are applied are as the same as to any other country. it is only about doing things in a common—sense fashion. labour hope to defuse the row that has dominated the summer but it still has the capacity to damage the party's reputation. our political correspondent, iain watson, joins us from labour's headquarters in central london. we keep describing this as a crunch

meeting but how crunch is it?” think it is a crunch meeting. certainly the demonstrators outside thought it was. you saw earlier quite big demonstrations. at the moment they have reduced in size as the meeting is going on but we are getting a little musical serenades, not desperately angry sounds at the moment from the demonstrators. the reason they are demonstrating is because many in thejewish community have said that unless they accept in full the definitions from the international anti—semitic treatise, they would be unable. jeremy corbyn wa nts to they would be unable. jeremy corbyn wants to detoxify the issue ahead of the conference so it is important there is some move today. i expect that what is likely to happen is that what is likely to happen is that he will accept his previously

controversial examples but at the same time make clear that members have the right to criticise the israeli government as long as there is no example of anti—semitic intent. some people think that is a step too far. long—time supporters onjeremy corbyn so the pressure on him to make a move, it will do two things, it will undermine him and it might make it easier if all of these exa m ples might make it easier if all of these examples are adopted, to expel people on the left of the party that are pro—palestinian. some of the jewish demonstrators here have said to me that they previously had voted labour but it is crucial today that labour but it is crucial today that labour does something to rebuild trust with them. some figures on the maker of the nec itself. what has been made of peter walls and being on the board? there were elections to the nec and this man who was recorded making comments, he got in

on the last place on that but not re—elected to labour's national executive. he came earlier today and some of the demonstrators said there should be no, relies on accepting this international definition. some of them cheered him as they went in. others saw this as divisive. there may be pressure on him to rethink his position to see whether he would consider standing down even though he was re—elected. i should say as well that a lot of the ballot papers went out for that election five or six days before his comments were made public. some people may have voted for him unaware of what he had actually said at the last meeting of labour's national executive. critics ofjeremy corbyn‘s leadership have put pressure on the leadership to put pressure on the leadership to put pressure on him to stand down. we can now speak tojenny manson, co—chair ofjewish voice for labour — one of the fewjewish advocacy groups which has urged

the labour party nec not to adopt in full the international holocaust rememerance alliance's defintion and examples of anti—semtitism. thank you for coming in. it is the exa m ples thank you for coming in. it is the examples that issue here. you would be happy if they are not adopted this afternoon? i allowed to say something about what was just sad. there was a big demonstration and he mentioned the jewish there was a big demonstration and he mentioned thejewish demonstrators against in support of corbyn and many of us dues were in that limitation. i want to make one comment about this man, these are allegations of anti—semitism. i defended him yesterday in an interview and he was a bit insensitive. none of the remarks that he made, when you hear the whole recording, were anti—semitic. this is part of the bullying that has been going on. the suggestion was that the ihra definition would

be replaced by a code of conduct. there has been bullying... by the media, i suppose but the media is being spurred on by a small part of the jewish community. being spurred on by a small part of thejewish community. after being spurred on by a small part of the jewish community. after all, being spurred on by a small part of thejewish community. after all, the jewish community means all of the dues living in the uk and which should i am one. there are several otherjewish organisations who do support corbyn. i wanted to mention the bullying but i will move on now. let's just explore the bullying claims because it is notjust down to the media, is it? within the labour party itself you had a former leader saying that we need to sort this out within our party. leader saying that we need to sort this out within our partylj leader saying that we need to sort this out within our party. i heard chris williams calling it media and perfect nation. the media have fallen into a trap, in my view, which is to think that because of a lot of well—established labour figures and well—established jewish figures and well—established jewish figures have said something, not that it

figures have said something, not thatitis figures have said something, not that it is untrue but that it can't be questioned. i think the facts that should be questioned at all stages and i don't think they have been. isn't that exactly what is going on? that is why the media says there is a split within the party.|j don't think the views of people like corbyn and like me has been questioned. examples have been removed, they haven't been removed, they have been rewritten. that mistake has been made through the media. let me get back to the exa m ples media. let me get back to the examples which you asked me about. what cycle bullying, i have been bullied too, people have have not been aware of. who have you been bullied by? in my own area. i have faced people questioning my motives for this in a way i would never dream of questioning their motives. my dream of questioning their motives. my motives are for an equitable solution and for a fair labour party which i think we have. can i go on the code. the ihra definition is a

very poor one which needs bumping up. the code of conduct has improved on the definition of anti—semitism enormously by including anti—semitism and other forms of anti—semitism. the examples were more or less written on the back of an envelope for press release, by an american due who now says they are not very good examples. they are not biblical. what i'm hoping is that if after a ll biblical. what i'm hoping is that if after all this very good attempt to try to reconcile different views, the whole statement is included in the whole statement is included in the labour pa rty‘s the whole statement is included in the labour party's code, they will then protect the rights of, for example, palestinians and muslims living in england, you not hearing their very often, who consider that israel is a racist state or that some actions of israel are racist. there will be allowed to say that without fear. at the moment there is a lot of fear and a lot of meetings have been cancelled on the basis

that the ihra could be enacted. a lot of meetings have been cancelled in the last year or so. at the heart of this is the ability to criticise israeli policy, isn't it? it is, i think it is. when you said where it is coming from, i'm not going to get involved in conspiracy could there is certainly an enormous attempt to give israel a particular protection that other countries don't have. for example, in the preamble to the exa m ples example, in the preamble to the examples in the ihra it says something like, "however, it is not anti—semitic to criticise israel..." there are times when everybody is criticising myanmar or france, are not trying to make a difficult example. let's say that we can't a lwa ys example. let's say that we can't always say that there are other countries doing x, y, z. you can criticise israel. in my view.

shouldn't, couldn't, jeremy corbyn have grabbed this by the scruff of the next some time ago and stopped its developing into the full blown problem it really is for labour? can i get back to the bullying? it is not a problem. i heard laura cook spoke this morning saying when they recognise the scale... there is less evidence of acting anti—semitism in labour than evidence of acting anti—semitism in labourthan in evidence of acting anti—semitism in labour than in other parties. it is a problem for labour. the scale of theissue, a problem for labour. the scale of the issue, i don't accept. my views are ina the issue, i don't accept. my views are in a minority. my view is that jeremy corbyn has tried incredibly hard. he set up a disciplinary unit. he explains, he apologises when he feels he has made a mistake. but the getting at him has been the more stars. my own view, and i would love to see the research in ten years' time, no leader has ever been called a racist or an anti—semite

remorselessly, day after day fully two years. remorselessly, day after day fully two yea rs. a remorselessly, day after day fully two years. a story about what he said ata two years. a story about what he said at a meeting 20 years ago, what he did somewhere else, this is not a conspiracy that it is distasteful. it is very good for you to come and talk about this. thank you very much. one individual that has been decidedly more critical ofjeremy corbyn‘s repsonse to anti—semitism within the labour party is karen pollock, ceo of the holocaust educational trust. in recent days she has tweeted that even if the labour party adopts the ihra definition, it will not be enough to address the problem. karenjoins me now from our milbank studio. i don't know if you heard whatjenny said but what is your reaction to that? i did hear your guest and i have to say it is complete nonsense. the notion that if you want to understand what bullying is, look at some of the twitter feed on my own and the holocaust educational trust

will recall about anti—semitism. holocaust denial, calling our work zionist fairy tales, it goes on and on. the fact is, anti—semitism is pernicious, it is a pernicious form of racism and we have to call it out. i think it is really important that we don't detract from what is a serious challenge for society but now a challenge for a mainstream political party. nobody wants to be calling out the labour party, nobody wa nts to calling out the labour party, nobody wants to be calling out the labour leader, but quite frankly, leadership is about saying no when something is out of line. rejecting anti—semitism, booting out the racists from your party, in searing disciplinary procedures go through. not punishing those people who call out anti—semitism. why are we still debating what is a very universally acclaimed definition of anti—semitism? i sit on the ihra delegation, i am anti—semitism? i sit on the ihra delegation, iam part anti—semitism? i sit on the ihra delegation, i am part of the process. labour over this point,

what do these words mean? the semantics? we are not talking about the definitions. the words are important here. particularly, were just hearing from jenny there, it is theissue just hearing from jenny there, it is the issue of the ability to criticise israeli policy which she says, and jeremy corbyn perhaps agrees, doesn't give the scope of criticism that any politician would like to have open to them. it is just not true. if you look at the examples, you can still criticise israel. lots of people who make a meaningful contribution to the middle east debate who are strong voices for the palestinian cause say so. voices for the palestinian cause say so. anybody who is trying to suggest that there is something wrong with this definition and examples as aduu this definition and examples as adult very emotive. i have to say... what are the alternaria motives? i'm going to answer you. when we are being told that anti—semitism is a smear, when we are being told that the trap being set by

well—established jewish figures, this all feeds into conspiracy theories. ultimately, jewish people don't want to be talking about anti—semitism everyday. next week we mark rosh hashanah, thejewish new year when we come together and start again. the fact that around our ta bles again. the fact that around our tables at this jewish festival of the highest holy day, the fact we are talking about what is going on in this country, that holocaust denial, anti—semitism is part of it, it seems every day. we just want to live our lives. we are integrated into society but we need leaders to call it out and rejected. certainly to say to people, "not in my name." is there a compromise here? how can you customise an anti—semitism? is there a compromise here? how can you customise an anti—semitism7m there a moment thatjeremy corbyn can come at and say that he is still not accepting the definitions but something that will make you realise, as he has always said, he is not anti—semitic, he takes it seriously but he has to go with his

conscience? this has been going on for a long time. i really hope that the labour leader would reject anti—semitism very clearly and very outrightly. he has, hasn't he? not enough. he has associated with holocaust deniers and people making despicable remarks. i'm afraid that we need to hear an absolute rejection of all of that, acknowledging mistakes, taking responsibility. we also need to know that the anti—semitism that has absolutely permeated within the party is disciplined and rejected. you ask the question about where can we go? will there be a chance that we go? will there be a chance that we can move on? i think none of us would want... we all once that but i don't know what's next. the ihra definition for me, this whole debate isa definition for me, this whole debate is a symptom out of the problem. i don't know anywhere else where we would still be talking about it. if

you believe that racism is bad, if you believe that racism is bad, if you want to reject racism from society, you accept the ihra definition and you try to root it out of your own party. it is very good of you to join out of your own party. it is very good of you tojoin us, thank out of your own party. it is very good of you to join us, thank you feel time. you're watching afternoon live, these are our headlines. decision day for labour: the party's national executive meets to decide whether to accept in full an international definition of anti—semitism. the chief executive of tsb, paul pester, has stepped down in the wake of a major it failure that left customers locked out of their accounts. people over 30 are being urged to take an online test to find out if they are at an increased risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke. and in sport, roger fedor rat is out of the us open. the five times champion was defeated by the unseeded australian at flushing meadows. reports suggest manchester united managerjoe is a mourinho has reached a deal with the spanish

state in the long—running tax fraud case. and landowner rs says he is happy with comparisons to lewis hamilton as he is set to become the youngest british formula i driver in history. the boss of tsb, one of britain's biggest high street banks, has paid the price for its disastrous it switch, which led to almost two million customers being locked out of their accounts. paul pester is stepping down after seven years as the bank's chief executive. he will still walk away with a pay off worth more than £1.5 million pounds. here's our personal finance correspondent simon gompertz. paul pester was the man who led people to tsb bank. triumphant at first but then disaster struck. i'm sorry says the boss of tsb. taken

down, tsb's online banking is suspended as it tries to sort technical problems... in april, a major systems upgrades to move customer details over from lloyds fell apart. nearly 2 million were shot out of their online accounts. some even managed to see other people's account details. at one point, paul pester said the bank was on its knees. there is a big apology for our tsb customers. this is not the service that we want to give them all they should receive from tsb. the most staggering example of a chief executive who seems unwilling to realise the scale of the problem. as the crisis went on, mps laid into him for saying tsb was running smoothly. when people were still having trouble using that counts. i think it is the right decision for paul pester to step down as chief executive of tsb. customers have been hugely inconvenienced for many weeks or even months in the way that the it

changeover happened and how it affected their accounts. paul pester will still get £i.2 affected their accounts. paul pester will still get £1.2 million of basic pay he is due for his notice period plus almost £500,000 for bonuses from previous years. a £2 million bonus has already been stripped away and any further payments are on hold during the investigations into what went wrong. paul pester was the person in charge when the decision was taken to proceed with the disastrous it upgrade. he was also widely criticised for being complacent afterwards. but tsb has been adamant that he is not being given all the blame, they simply don't want someone at the helm who is distracted by investigations and the blame game. do tsb's users, like these in glasgow, think he should have gone? technically, yes, but there are other people to be blamed as well. it is theirjob to make

sure things go right. the computers we re sure things go right. the computers were haywire but i think it was tight. the talk in the banking world has been when and not if paul pester would lose hisjob. meanwhile, tsb still has work to do. yesterday, is customers still have problems using their online accounts yet again. the green party has announced its new leadership team following an internal election over the summer. sian berry is tojoin jonathan bartley as co—leader of the party, replacing caroline lucas who is to continue as the party's sole mp. the leaders will oversee a party with elected politicians in the european parliament and in local authorities across the country. japan is being battered by one of the most powerful typhoons to hit the country in a quarter of a century. winds of over 100 miles an hour have prompted evacuation orders for thousands of people. hundreds of flights have been cancelled after a ship smashed into the causeway linking kansai airport with the mainland. jenny kumah has the latest. this extraordinary weather is causing some extraordinary sights. this lorry and car narrowly avoiding

being blown into the sea. typhoonjebi, one of the most powerful in 25 years, is causing widespread disruption. winds have reached up to 107 mph. transport is badly hit. this is the runway at kansai international airport. it is built on a man—made island about three miles off the coast of osaka in western japan. hundreds of flights have been cancelled. this causeway leading to the airport is also closed. the winds smashing a tanker into its side. the storms have led to power cuts with 350,000 buildings reported to be without electricity. debris from buildings and trees made

it dangerous out on the streets. japan has suffered a summer of weather phenomena, a record—breaking heatwave, landslides and floods killing hundreds of people. but, so far, typhoonjebi, which means ‘swallow‘ in korean, doesn't seem as deadly. many have stayed put and braved it out, but around one million people have been advised to evacuate. some have opted for the calm at the shelter. keeping safe from the ferocious storm. jenny kumah, bbc news. i want to talk typhoon tembin the moment but on the other side of the globe we are talking harry kane is because we have the first harry kane

landing on the united states. land in florida yesterday and we could be seeing the first on the coast. anybody who reads a newspaper will know that you are renowned for your artistic talent. let's talk about one of these pictures that you have painted of a tornado. i have my special brush here. something i didn't know, the difference between a hurricane and a typhoon is what?l hurricane is derived from spanish and that is a local name for the atlantic. let's talk inside out. what is that in the middle? here we have the ipod the storm. that is where we have the worst of the weather. we often talk about how big hurricanes are. the worst of the weather is only about 100 miles across the whole storm here could be anywhere from the south coast, if you were to overlay over the uk,

from the south coast up to scotland. it is just that area that has the worst of the weather. what is going on here? this is what are called spiral bands. effectively, they are like thunderstorms which line up into bands and they swell into the hurricane. if a thunderstorm starts off here, it start spiralling in the gut and quicker and when you get to the epicentre faster and faster, this is where we get the hurricane winds. we have the eye it is calm, there is no wind. our weather report would be a lot better if we use your paintings every time! but is hurricanes but we have had the typhoon in the pacific... let's talk about this because this is a picture that you have painted showing the effects of this. it is a bit more impressionistic, i think. effects of this. it is a bit more impressionistic, ithink. it effects of this. it is a bit more impressionistic, i think. it is a palm tree being swept in the wind.

it is not my typical artwork... you do portraits? this is something new i tried out a couple of weeks ago. how long did that take you to do?|j locked how long did that take you to do?” locked myself in my art studio for a couple of days. quite remarkable. that is a hurricane but let's talk about this typhoon that has devastated parts of japan. what is going on there? japan has been really bad in the last few months. we had one typhoon after the other affecting that part of the world. we have the heatwave and tremendous floods so left it has been a bad season floods so left it has been a bad season for them. we have more pictures of the typhoon. we are trying to establish whether it is in fa ct trying to establish whether it is in fact the most powerful typhoon to hit ina fact the most powerful typhoon to hit in a number of decades. it is a close call. at the moment it is one of the worst in about 25 years or so. of the worst in about 25 years or so. it is pretty bad. it has caused

so so. it is pretty bad. it has caused so much trouble over the. as we have been saying, there is a storm on the other side of the world that is going to be affecting the gulf coast as well. we have two to talk about. let's have a look at the satellite image. i want to show you an interesting picture now. this is where we are in europe selects its been around towards asia and talk about typhoon kebi. you just saw that bit of artwork we were talking about and this is exactly, this is the real—life thing. this is the eye that i was trying to explain in the middle. shooting off into the distance there. this is where the worst of the weather is. we often talk about how typhoon is an hurricanes leave a trail of devastation. it is not a throw away word, they literally leave a trail, a track of nasty effects. this is the other side of the world now. this is cuba and florida, the gulf coast. this is not fully formed and you get an indication of the spiral

action. this is storm gordon and there's word that it will intensify into a hurricane and bring some rough weather to mississippi and alabama. that is all about world weather. let's talk about the here and now if you are more interested. this afternoon across the uk it is pretty cloudy and there is a lot more cloud out there in the atlantic and it is heading in our direction. this is the start of a relatively common let's call it, unsettled period for the second half of this week. some of us have got some sunshine, you can see around south—western scotland, the irish sea, west and wales. further towards the east and around midlands here and into yorkshire it is pretty cloudy. pretty warm in the south—east, temperatures up to about 22 celsius. leftover warmth from the last couple of days and the weekend. tonight, there is just last couple of days and the weekend. tonight, there isjust the risk of last couple of days and the weekend. tonight, there is just the risk of a couple of rumbles of thunder. maybe in that extreme south—east portion

of the country. for most of us it is dry, cool in the north. tomorrow we are starting to see changes here off the northwest uk. this area of low pressure, we have winds spiralling around here as well. it is sending a weather front in our direction and that means wetter weather for the western isles and maybe belfast as well. elsewhere will be dry. thursday into friday the weather tends to go downhill a little bit. we are seeing weather fronts moving in from the north juice outwards. that means the wind shift direction as well. you can see the arrows there from northwest moving in a south—easterlies direction. that is fairly cool at. no more than 1a degrees in glasgow and belfast with the shah was around. some could be heavy. it looks as though some parts of the uk getting away with a dry day. low pressure, parks itselfjust off the east coast of england on friday. some wet weather here. it could be wet in eastern scotland.

the winds will strengthen right across the country. it is the south and south—west here that will public get away with it but you can see temperatures are in the teens there on friday. i suspect on the north sea coast it will feel pretty cold on friday. for the weekend, difficult to summarise it. it is going to be quite changeable with some clouds, some sunshine, umbrella to hand because showers will not be too far away. this is bbc news. there. labour's anti—semitism row continues as the party holds crunch talks over whether to adopt in full the international definition and exa m ples of international definition and examples of anti—semitism. the tsb chief executive has resigned after a botched computer upgrade cause misery for thousands of bank customers trying to access their online accounts. an online test they can buy almost 2 million people suggest four out of five adults are at risk of heart disease, public

health england has a nose. it has emerged that detectives were unable to access a facebook account of a man suspected of murdering a 13—year—old girl. let's get the sport, now. and sarah has this. to hear roger federer sing that was a guinea was glad was over, is it his age catching up with him? guinea was glad was over, is it his age catching up with him7m guinea was glad was over, is it his age catching up with him? it may well be, he has 20 grand slam titles but 21 will not come this year. he is out of the us open. the match finished before 1am local time but despite this it was close to 30 degrees. he said he could not get any air in circulation. he said as the match was over it was very uncomfortable conditions he was playing in. so much that he made 77 u nforced playing in. so much that he made 77

unforced errors going out to unseeded john millman. it was a little bit uncomfortable, he said, beating roger federer renewables not quite at his best. there is a new roof on the arthur ashe stadium, and even with it being open, federer thinks it alters the conditions.” do believe since the roof is on that there is no air circulation in the stadium. itjust there is no air circulation in the stadium. it just makes there is no air circulation in the stadium. itjust makes it a totally different us open. conditions were playing slower on top of it and they have soaking wet pants, soaking wet everything, and the boys are in there too, you try to play and everything gets slower, as you try to hit winners. everyone expected federal and djokovic to meet in the quarterfinals but now it will be john millman who takes on the server. let's talk about the ryder cup. later on europe will find out more about who they are facing. golf

ta kes more about who they are facing. golf takes on a different level, doesn't it, in the ryder cup? it is almost intangible when they play in this format for europe and the usa, you can hear the sound of the crowds out on the course and it is different to any other golf event. we're getting close to the next event and europe captain thomas bjorn will announce his four wild cards. before that later tonight the usa captainjim furyk will announce three of his four wild card picks. the final wimbledon common sunday and arhip golf correspondent has more on how that might go. this is going to be straightforward for the captain, jim furyk. every pundit is basically saying it is going to be tiger woods, phil mickelson and bryson dechambeaux. woods played himself into contention with an impressive

return, five top—10 finishes after all the injury problems he has had, and patti had a full qualifying period, the of his performances would have ta ken period, the of his performances would have taken him into the team automatically. dechambeaux is off the back of two consecutive victories at the start of the pga player of serious and phil mickelson has played in every ryder cup since the mid—19 90s. he has been the architect of the task force, the new outlook to the ryder cup the american south. his form hasn't been great of late, just one top—10 finish since march but he's the one you will get the nod at this stage leaving one more wild card pick for next week. manchester united manager jose mourinho has been fined and accepted a one—year prison sentence in connection with the claim that he failed to declare £3 million and earnings to the spanish tax authorities. spanish media is reporting he has been fined 60% of

the money involved, equating to £1.8 million, and a possible prison sentence has been averted given his a cce pta nce sentence has been averted given his acceptance of the sanction. keaton jennings had looked in his place in the indus water the fifth and final test against india at the oval despite coming under pressure for his performances in the series so far. he has been named alongside alastair cook who places while international match. it will be his 16ist international match. it will be his 161st test, having made his debut backin 161st test, having made his debut back in 2006 when he scored a century. he is england's all—time leading run scorer. head coach trevor bayliss says whoever replaces alastair cook will have enormous boost to build. the new formula 1 golden boy mcgregor said he has no problem being compared to lewis hamilton. he will become britain's first —— youngest driver next year when he follows a similar path to the world champion lewis hamilton.

he says that his aim will be to simply help the team improve. that's all the sport. speaking in front of the parliament treasury committee the parliament treasury committee the bank of england governor mark carney has signalled he is prepared to stay in the job you're displaying leaving date nextjune after six yea rs leaving date nextjune after six years in the role. he says he's willing to do what he can to ensure a smooth brexit. i recognise that we're in this critical period and it is important that everyone does everything they can to help with the transition. towards accepting the european union. and that goes from parliamentarians to public servants. even though i have agreed to extend my time to support a smooth brexit, i willing to do whatever else i can to promote a smooth brexit and an

effective transition and i would emphasise the second point that that transition process is done in an effective and orderly manner. the balance of power between americans and liberals in the american supreme court could be tilted this week. the senate begins hearings today on whether to approve president trump's nominee for a vacant seat. democrats fear his choice, brett kavanaugh, would shift the court's balance decisively to the right. he's seen as socially conservative on many key issues such as abortion and gay rights. a short while ago our washington correspondent gary o'donoghue spoke to us about the consequences of possible approval of mr kavanaugh by the us senate. it will change the complexion of the supreme court for years to come and as things stand with the resignation ofjustice anthony kennedy, he was the swing vote between four liberals and four conservatives. brett kavanaugh is very much a conservative and if confirmed it will set the direction, tilt towards a conservative view for a long time because it is a lifetime appointment.

democrats fear it will mean issues like abortion could be revisited. that decision in 1973 to grant abortion rights nationwide, they believe it could be unpicked by this change in direction by the court and other issues like voting rights, perhaps things like gay marriage could be revisited. brett kavanaugh this morning issued comments from his opening statement saying he would be an umpire, impartial, an arbiter who would favour the law, not policy or personal preference, and democrats will look at the sincerity of that view and examine every part of his record over the last two, three decades. people over 30 are being urged to take an online test to find out if they are at an increased risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke. almost two million people have

already taken the test and public health england says as many as four out of five of them heart attacks and strokes kill around 84,000 people every year in england but the vast majority are preventable, according to public health england. that is why officials want everyone over 30 to complete the online test to assess their heart's health by calculating its age. we know too many people are dying prematurely from heart attacks and strokes. in fact, it is the leading cause of death in men and second—leading cause of death in women. so people taking the online heart age test will allow them to understand what the risk is and, more importantly, take action on addressing that risk. the test asks 16 questions about health and lifestyle. it also estimates the risk of having a heart attack or stroke. of the two million who have already taken it, 78% had a heart age older than their actual age.

of those, 34% had hearts more than five years older and 14% had a heart age at least ten years above their age. i know my blood pressure. today, a mobile clinic was out and about offering help with the test. georgina wallace is 42 years old. but the test estimated her heart age is 50. you don't realise the impact of your lifestyle on things like your heart. obviously, your heart health is so important. when you see such a statistic, up seven years, eight years older than what you currently are, it does make you really think what else can i change in my life to help my future, keep myself healthier long term? eating more than five portions of fruit and vegetables a day, giving up smoking, and exercising all help. the test doesn't give a medical diagnosis. it's a rough guide hoping to encourage people to make vital lifestyle changes. uh—oh, we've got to go.

off we go. stumble, trip! it was a vote winning offer — 30 hours a week of free childcare for working parents of three and four—year—olds in england. and it saved families thousands of pounds a year. i don't pay a penny now because of the 30 free hours, so it's like nearly £300 a month in money that i save. i think it is a fantastic scheme. it means i will probably be able to go back to work an extra day, because i'll be able to afford to do that. so far, 340,000 children have benefited. but, as the scheme begins its second year, the government has been accused of not funding it properly. 8000 members of the preschool learning alliance

were sent a survey. 1300 of them replied and of them, 843 said the fees paid by the government were less than the hourly rate. more than 400 said the scheme was putting a strain on their finances. it really is that bad. we are seeing closures almost on a daily basis. settings that have been around for 20, 25 years, that, frankly, have just said that the new offer, the 30—hour funded places offer, is just the final nail in the coffin. as a result, many nurseries are now asking parents for contributions. some of up to £10 a day. last year, this nursery in bradford offered its children free places. but this year, the city's funding has been cut, so now parents will contribute an extra £3 a day. we have to be viable. if we are not viable, then we disappear and lots of providers nationally have disappeared. my parents have been very understanding. they are willing to pay

because they love our nursery. childminders have been affected too. helen linkhorn has been caring for preschoolers for 18 years. she says the rates paid are really tough. sheffield city council pay £4.07 an hour. my hourly rate is £5 an hour. so i'm losing 93p an hour. so if i have a child for eight hours a day, i'm pretty much losing £8 a day. the department for education says the rates it pays for childcare only and not for additional services and meals. it says it has commissioned new research looking into the cost of childcare and adds that 80% of providers around the country have been willing to take part in this scheme. we'll have the business news in a moment, but first the headlines.

labour needs to decide whether to accept in full and international definition of and examples of anti—semitism. the chief executive of tsb has stepped down in the wake of tsb has stepped down in the wake ofa of tsb has stepped down in the wake of a major it failure that left customers locked out of their accounts. people over 30 are being urged to take an online test to find out if they are at increased risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke. the head of tsb is stepping down in the wake of it failure at the bank. he will receive a pay—out worth nearly £1.7 million made up of £1.2 million severance pay and an historical bonus of around 480,000. all other performance related pay has been frozen amidst investigations into the it fiasco. mark carney has said he will stay on

as governor of the bank of england if it'll help the government smooth the brexit transition. he was due to step down from the royal in 2019. he said he has been talking to the chancellor about his future. ing is to pay fines after admitting errors in policies to stop financial crime. the bank said it regretted that this m ista kes the bank said it regretted that this mistakes have made some customers to use their attempts —— their accounts for money—laundering in 2016. so the departure from ts be of paul pester, it was a matter of when rather than if. yes, he's getting £1.2 million in severance pay, £480,000 in historical bonuses. a lot of people will be a little bit annoyed about that. the fuel over these accounts has been going on and still going on over the weekend. —— the furore. it

will not be a popular move. technically it is acceptable because it is the severance pay written into his contract and these historical bonuses go back to the point where the bang, when it was sold to the spanish bank sabadell and the problem with the it system was migrating accounts over from the old lloyd's system. this is a common problem with all of these things. the treasury committee has just said that paul pester sets the tone for tsb's complacent and misleading public communication and it said that it public communication and it said thatitis public communication and it said that it is right that he is stepping down. it is something about the way that this business undermined the future of tsb. what we have to remember is why this is important. when tsb was set up it was supposed

to be one of the lead challengers to the big banks. after the last year it is hard to imagine tsb being led by anyone being a major challenge for some time to come. this is an admission, i think, for some time to come. this is an admission, ithink, of for some time to come. this is an admission, i think, of the fact that tsb is not going to be much of a challenger bank for a while. it is more reputational damage. iwouldn't wa nt more reputational damage. iwouldn't want to scare anyone into taking their money out, that is not an issue at all, but this is an issue about what we call governance, about how the decisions were made at tsb and more importantly how they were approved in spain, how little those people knew on the board, making these decisions and also the regulator, the financial conduct authority is going to have two face questions about how it was involved in some of these ikee decisions. peter hahn there from the institute

of finance. this is one of their many who knelt rob hunt put his hand on his chest when they played the us national anthem. nike have chosen him as brand ambassadors, and there slogan is that in order to win sometimes you have to sacrifice everything. and he has not had a game in the nfl since he made that gesture. let's talk about what it means for nike. they are taking a political risk. this is politically

dangerous commercially. what do you reckon? it is politically dangerous for nike. in the wake of this announcement colin kapaernick announced he would be one of the brand ambassador was celebrating their 30th anniversary of the just do it slogan, and then boycott nike became one of the top trending hash tags on twitter in the us. he was the leader of the movement. that angered a lot of conservatives, particularly president donald trump who put pressure on the nfl to rein in these protests, players were protesting what they said was racial injustice. as a result, the nfl changed its rules to say that if you did not want to stand during the national anthem, that was fine but you could not be on the field. that got a lot of pushback. so choosing

this player to be the face of its advertising campaign it will either alienate a lot of nike fans or it will do the opposite and show that nike isa will do the opposite and show that nike is a bald company that understands a younger and more diverse demographic and it could perhaps boost the brand. it is still too early to say. quite a big reaction on social media, they have got the hashtag #justburnit. that is the second one. investors are not happy with the move, with shares opening nearly 3% level since the move was announced, which shows that when it comes to investors they are not quite sure that this is necessarily the best move for nike but the league starts its regular season on thursday, so we have got a couple more days, probably quite a bit of social media fervour before we get a sense of how this is going to be playing out amongst nfl fans

and the wider political environment here in the us. the brilliant against bonehead paradigms, what is that?! kim, thanks a lot. all of them looking a bit sad. wpp has come out with its figures showing slight improvement but the longer term figures are looking difficult for the company. this is after martin sorrell left. it is to do with the structure of the company which is considered to be rather old—fashioned now. considered to be rather old —fashioned now. it considered to be rather old—fashioned now. it is up against google and facebook, trying to make its way in the digital world. it has a lot of brilliant talent but it is a lot of brilliant talent but it is a question of getting it to work together. people think that its margins will be lower and it will not be as profitable as it was and thatis not be as profitable as it was and that is why the share price is down at the moment. the pound weak

against the dollar today and also the euro. thank you, more on that later, jeremy. thank you very much. a pairof later, jeremy. thank you very much. a pair of identical twins in the us have been celebrating their 100th birthday together. the sisters turned 102 in may but have just got round to throwing a party for family and friends. they went their separate way for a while to have their own families but they reunited in the late 90s and have been inseparable since, even wearing matching clothing, as you can see. they are taking their advanced years in their stride. i don't even know that i am old. let's have a look at the weather. here is tomasz. it is looking cooler. there is quite a lot of cloud around and this is the trend

for the next few days. there will be a greater chance of catching some rain and it is going to become cooler and cooler. lots of cloud out in the atlantic. these weather systems a re in the atlantic. these weather systems are pushing through in our direction, and no real real —— rain bearing cloud around, just an area of cloud stretching from eastern scotla nd of cloud stretching from eastern scotland down into burning and the south—west but generally speaking, it isa south—west but generally speaking, it is a dry day, still someone in the south—east, 23 london, and brighter in scotland and northern ireland, but here it will be a little bit fresher. there is an area of low pressure with weather fronts approaching and for the time being mercer was looking dry, apart from that extreme south—eastern part of the country, and there could even be a rumble of thunder. tomorrow again i generally dry day across the uk but notice that the weather picture, that satellite picture, these weather fronts are starting to move m, weather fronts are starting to move in, bringing outbreaks of rain into

western scotland and parts of northern ireland, but across yorkshire and north wales the weather is looking fine on wednesday. on thursday we start to see a change. weatherfronts wednesday. on thursday we start to see a change. weather fronts across northern parts of the country bringing rather a lot of cloud. some rain showers feeding in, and you get a sense that from these north—westerly winds it is going to feel quite a bit fresher. and there could be quite a bit of heavy rain around from these showers across northern areas. still making 20 in the south—east but after that it really is cooling off. on friday, low— pressure really is cooling off. on friday, low—pressure very much in charge of the weather across northern parts of the weather across northern parts of the uk. in this out, you could get away with dry weather across parts of the midlands and the south but the thinking is that this area of wind and rain will slip further south into yorkshire and the north midlands by the time we get to friday afternoon. looking a lot more u nsettled friday afternoon. looking a lot more unsettled towards the end of the week. into the weekend, temperatures

around the team's foremost, maybe bumping upa around the team's foremost, maybe bumping up a little in the south—east, but generally speaking it is looking pretty unsettled for many of us. hello, you're watching afternoon live. i'm simon mccoy. today at 3pm. decision day for labour, the party's national executive meets to decide whether to accept in full an international definition with examples, of anti—semitism. i've made no secret of my view that we should have the full definition, the irha definition into our document. i've obviously said that over the summer. i hope that that is what the nec does. the boss of tsb, one of britain's biggest high street banks, is standing down after a major it fiasco that left customers locked out of their accounts. how old is your heart? ? chances are it's a lot older than you are. we look at the online test to determine your risk of a heart attack or a stroke.

coming up on afternoon live, all the sport. roger federer struggled in the heat in new york. he said he was happy the match was over after his shock fourth—round loss at the us open this morning. we have more on that later. sarah, thank you very much for that! and it is fairly quiet on the weather fronts today. i think we need our umbrellas for the end of the week but today is looking nice. thanks, thomasz. also coming up... well, on the basis you can't get enough of him... there's more from thomasz! as we combine his weather knowledge and his artistic skill to show you how hurricanes happen. hello, everyone, this is afternoon live. rival protest groups

are demonstrating outside labour headquarters this afternoon as the party's ruling national executive is meeting to decide whether to adopt, in full, the international definition of anti—semitism. jewish groups, trade union leaders and many labour mps have urged the party to change its stance, and to defuse allegations of anti—semitism that have dogged the party leadership for months now. our political correspondent iain watson reports. these demonstrations outside labour's headquarters today underline just how controversial and emotional the party's position on anti—semitism has become. so canjeremy corbyn detoxify a row that has raged all summer? he is on his way to a meeting of labour's ruling national executive which will look again at how the party tackles the issue. jeremy corbyn's deputy says labour should accept in full all the examples of anti—semitism set out by the international holocaust remembrance alliance.

well, i made no secret of my view that we should have the full irha definition into our document. i've obviously said that over the summer. i hope that that is what the nec does. that includes every example? every example of anti—semitism so that we can be very clear that we are serious about tackling anti—semitism but in the labour party and in wider society. so what is at issue? back injuly, labour's national executive accepted an international definition of anti—semitism which makes it clear it is a form of racism. but it angered jewish mps and many in the wider community when it didn't incorporate into a new code of conduct four of the accompanying 11 examples of anti—semitic behaviour. that is accusing people of being more loyal to israel than their home country. expecting higher standards of behaviour from israel than other nations. and comparing israeli policies to the nazis. labour says it has simply reworded and in some cases strengthened these examples. but one example, claiming israel's existence as a state is a racist

endeavour was resisted byjeremy corbyn and his supporters as they felt this would restrict the free speech of palestinians in particular. tensions are still running high here and under pressure, it looks as if labour's ruling national executive will agree to accept all the internationally defined examples of anti—semitism. but it's also likely that they will make crystal clear that party members should be free to criticise the government of israel as long as there is no other evidence of anti—semitic intent. some in thejewish committee say there is no need for any caveats. it would be helpful of course if critics were to actually read what the definition says. i actually think that the examples in the definition are very helpful on that very point, what it says is that it is not anti—semitic to criticise israel if the standards applied are as the same as to any other country. it is only about doing things in a common—sense fashion.

labour hope to defuse the row that has dominated the summer but it still has the capacity to damage the party's reputation. and iain watsonjoins us now from labour's headquarters in central london. is there any indication as to how this could go? there is in the sense that there are discussions going on as we speak. it was scheduled to ta ke as we speak. it was scheduled to take half an hour but it has taken longer than that. what is expected to come out of this is certainly, the expectation is that the full international definition of anti—semitism and all the company exa m ples anti—semitism and all the company examples will now be accepted by labour's ruling body but there will bea labour's ruling body but there will be a caveat to make it clear that free speech is protected for people who want to criticise the government of israel so long as they don't have anti—semitic intent. we are expecting some wording alongside

vista, is later today. expecting some wording alongside vista, is latertoday. some expecting some wording alongside vista, is later today. some of the demonstrators who were here earlier are opposed to this. they think that this will constrain free speech and thatis this will constrain free speech and that is jeremy this will constrain free speech and that isjeremy corbyn and the people around him shouldn't become providing it. the demonstrations are not as big as they were earlier, the rise will number of people here making quite a bit of noise. they are good they are making is that if the labour leadership accept as an example of anti—semitism, criticism as israel is the greatest endeavour, that it as israel is the greatest endeavour, thatitis as israel is the greatest endeavour, that it is an apartheid state, they believe that they could therefore be forced into a position where it could be expelled by the party machine. that is what is concerning them. others say absolutely not and there is nothing in this definition and in this international agreement which prevents criticism of israel as such as long as what is behind it is not an attempt to be anti—semitic. this is what is being thrashed out inside. we are

expecting them to come out later on to tell us what i say have reached. crucially, some will say if they water down or caveat the international definition and exa m ples international definition and examples too much, then it would have solved any thinkers people in the jewish committee have solved any thinkers people in thejewish committee would still maintain that labour hasn't done enough to regain their trust.” think hq enough to regain their trust.” think h0 is better than "a romp?" would you not agree? yes, slightly impartial! a hearty few! we can now speak to the labour mp luciana berger who is in westminster for us this afternoon. for you, is it one or the other? is ita for you, is it one or the other? is it a full adoption of the international... internationally agreed description or nothing?m

international... internationally agreed description or nothing? it is only the labour party of any organisation in our country who is looking at this definition, who has so looking at this definition, who has so far sought to die looted and remove elements of it. if we look at other organisations like the devolved administrations in our country, in the united kingdom that have adopted it, nobody else has sought to amend it in this way. i am very clear that there can be no dilation of the ihra definition, no ifs no buts. only the thing in its entirety can be accented. what do you say to those, and we have a guest earlier, who say that this has been blown out of all proportion? this is a visit rescue, of which you are one, you are going against the more widely held view ofjewish groups within the labour party? on the parliamentary chair of the jewish labour movement. we are the only affiliated society within the labour party which is about to celebrate a centenary of

association. it is our firmly held view that only the full and entire ihra definition with all of its exa m ples ihra definition with all of its examples can be accepted. it is not just the jewish community, examples can be accepted. it is not just thejewish community, if we look further afield, there are organisations like trade unions who have adopted the ihra definition with all of its examples in full. over 130 councils across our country, many of whom out the site are labour, people will say, why are we treating this, why is the labour party treating this in a different way to these other organisations that have adopted? particularly when trust in the british are the party amongst the jewish divinity because of everything that has happened is atan of everything that has happened is at an all—time low? of everything that has happened is at an all-time low? we lost to use phrases like crunch meeting. how important is this decision today?

where does it leavejeremy corbyn? evenif where does it leavejeremy corbyn? even if the entire definition is adopted today it'll only take us back to we should have been when this was initially discussed back in july. i am appalled by what we have seen over july. i am appalled by what we have seen over the july. i am appalled by what we have seen over the summer july. i am appalled by what we have seen over the summer months. but this has dominated in the way that it has when what we should have been doing as a party is looking externally and challenging the government. i regret that this has dominated in the way that it has and that we even have to have this conversation and that it is at the top of the news and discussion when parliament resumes and there is so much going on in parliament today. it is an important discussion, then could be wrong, but this in and of itself is not going to solve the crisis of anti—semitism within the labour party. with actions and not words. there is a raft of things which need to happen for any sort of trust to be re—established. which need to happen for any sort of trust to be re-established. such as? we know there is a backlog of outstanding cases of members who have been investigated or been research that is not referred for

alleged anti—semitic remarks. in the wa ke alleged anti—semitic remarks. in the wake of the investigation that was launched into dame margaret hodge, the party said they were looking into the words and the comments of 252 labour party members. the party also said it would resolve all high profile cases before the end of july. we find ourselves in september and that still hasn't happened. we have the issue of training to be addressed, anti—semitism training. only yesterday we see that an individual, he was elected to our national governing body having made the anti—semitic, venomous rants that he did at a meeting back in july. he was let off with justice that on the wrist for those actions. many people, myself included, are very concerned about his election to our ruling body. very quickly, what about the argument that a full adoption of the ihra would restrict the ability of the party, jeremy

corbyn and others, to criticise the israeli government? the definition is very clear. i urge anyone that hasn't had a chance to look at it, it is freely available online, it is one and a half pages long. it couldn't be clearer what it says. legitimate criticism of the state of israel and its government is totally fine ina israel and its government is totally fine in a way that you criticise any other country. where that criticism then slips into anti—semitism and thatis then slips into anti—semitism and that is where the problem exists. it gives very clear examples of where that might present. there are many people with specific legal lines and legal opinions that have looked at this, including our foreign secretary who says very clearly that there are no grounds on which legitimate criticism of israel is permitted. other organisations in our country have already adopted this definition. it is not the case that people cannot make criticism of the israeli government. they give

very much for your time this afternoon. the boss of tsb, one of britain's biggest high street banks, has paid the price for its disastrous it switch which led to almost two million customers being locked out out of their accounts. paul pester is stepping down after seven years as the bank's chief executive. he will still walk away with a payoff worth more than £1.5 million pounds. here's our personal finance correspondent simon gompertz. paul pester was the boss who led millions of tsb customers out of lloyds and into a new independent bank to challenge the big names. triumphant at first but then disaster struck. i'm sorry says the boss of tsb. taken down, tsb's online banking is suspended as it tries to sort technical problems... in april, a major systems upgrade to move customer details over from lloyds fell apart. nearly 2 million were shut out of their online accounts. some even managed to see other people's account details. at one point, paul pester said the bank was on its knees. it is a big apology

for our tsb customers. this is not the service that we want to give them or they should receive from tsb. the most staggering example of a chief executive who seems unwilling to realise the scale of the problem. as the crisis went on, mps laid into him for saying tsb was running smoothly when people were still having trouble using their accounts. i think it is the right decision for paul pester to step down as chief executive of tsb. customers have been hugely inconvenienced for many weeks or even months in the way that the it changeover happened and how it affected their accounts. paul pester will still get £1.2 million of basic pay he is due for his notice period plus almost £500,000 for bonuses for previous years. a £2 million bonus connected to the upgrade has already been stripped away and any further payments are on hold during the investigations

into what went wrong. paul pester was the person in charge when the decision was taken to proceed with the disastrous it upgrade. he was also widely criticised for being complacent afterwards. but tsb has been adamant that he is not being given all the blame, they simply don't want someone at the helm who is distracted by investigations and the blame game. do tsb's users, like these in glasgow, think he should have gone? technically, yes, but there are other people to be blamed as well. it is theirjob to make sure things go right. the computers were haywire but i think it was tight. the talk in the banking world has been when and not if paul pester would lose hisjob. meanwhile, tsb still has work to do. yesterday, its customers had problems using their online accounts yet again. simon gompertz, bbc news. the opening of senate hearings

for president trump's nominee for the us supreme court has been disrupted by a number of democrats who demanded that the hearings be adjourned. the democrats, who fear mr trump's choice, brett kavanaugh, would shift the court's balance decisively to the right, are demanding that the hearings be adjourned. our washington correspondent gary o'donoghue it is unlikely they will get this drone out at this stage. the argy—bargy has been significant, not just democrats demanding this postponement of the debate because they are unhappy about these documents that they haven't been able to see and a whole bunch of them were released at about 11 o'clock last night. thousands of

pages they haven't had time to look at. there were a series of protest is in the public gallery who were shouting throughout the first half an hourof shouting throughout the first half an hour of the hearing. many of them we re an hour of the hearing. many of them were removed from the public gallery by the officials, one after the other. they really, if you ever needed an indication of how polarised the political system here is, just take a look at the beginning of that hearing. they are absolutely at opposite ends of the spectrum. the merits of the man involved have barely been discussed yet. they will get onto that later. this about pure tribal opposition, republicans wanting their way, democrats wanting to stop them. people in the public gallery getting in to. it has been fairly balanced up in to. it has been fairly balanced up until now? there are ninejudges on the supreme court to get to make the decisions. only big decisions get up to them. theyjudge whether

laws are consistent with the constitution of the united states. that is the benchmark. they get to decide on things like gay marriage and whether that should be legal. they did that couple of years ago. in 1973 the got to decide whether there was a nationwide right to abortion. as things stand with the retirement of anthony kennedy, you have the right liberals and four conservatives. with brett kavanaugh you are getting a conservative and so you are getting a conservative and so the democrats and liberals in this country are horrified that the direction, the ideological direction of the country will go to the right in the next few years. they remind, this court is the final court in the land. it does revisit, it does revisit its decisions from the past. it does overturn its own precedents at times and things are worried that things that were settled, like the right to abortion etc, they believe

that those things may be over tour —— they believe those things may be overturned. some states have started to overturn restrictions. you're watching afternoon live, these are our headlines... decision day for labour, the party's national executive meets to decide whether to accept in full an international definition of anti—semitism. the chief executive of tsb, paul pester, has stepped down in the wake of a major it failure that left customers locked out of their accounts. people over 30 are being urged to take an online test to find out if they are at an increased risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke. and in sport, roger federer is out of the us open. the five—time champion was defeated by the unseeded australian john champion was defeated by the unseeded australianjohn millman at flushing meadows. reports suggest manchester united manager has reached a deal with the spanish state over a one—year suspended sentence in the long—running tax

fraud case. and lando norris says he is happy with comparisons to lewis hamilton as he is set to become the youngest formula 1 driver in british formula 1 history. i'll be back with more of those stories after 3:30pm. in a few minutes we'll be hearing from the brexit secretary, dominic raab, who is updating the commons this afternoon on his latest talks with the european union's chief negotiator, michel barnier. at the weekend, mr barnier made clear his objections to theresa may's strategy. borisjohnson has called it a disaster. the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt has been asking the leitch and string questions in the commons. over the course of the summer, i visited seven european union countries and have substantive bilateral talks with 18 european union foreign ministers. to all of them i said that if there is not a deal about our exit from the eu,

britain will find a way to survive and prosper. but that will be a big mistake for the continent of europe because at a time of international people, countries that share the same values should stand together. for more analysis on this we are joined byjohn whittingdale, vice—chairman of the exiting the eu select committee. i was listening to you on the radio this morning and you are in full agreement with michel barnier. who knew? well, it came as a slight surprise to us but what i found encouraging was the fact that michel barnier repeated what he has very recently said what which is that he wa nts to recently said what which is that he wants to achieve a trade agreement with the uk that will be the closest that the eu has ever signed with any other country. and that it will comprise not just free other country. and that it will comprise notjust free trade but cooperation and security, private justice, not believe that all the areas where we should continue to work together. he also made it clear that the proposal that was agreed at

chequers is never going to work but the free trade agreement that he is putting forward is very close to the kind of agreement which i think is the best outcome. if we concentrate on that, i think we have a good chance of reaching an agreement. he is in the middle of negotiations with the british government. do you feel you may have undermined them a bit? i hope we have clarified it a bit. the british government at the scene to be set on trying to persuade both the uk parliament and the european union that the chequers proposals are best. i have considerable reservations about the chequers proposals, i think they underline a lot of the reasons why people voted for brexit, they leave us people voted for brexit, they leave us still locked in the control of the european union. also, as michel barnier made clear, and the eu is not going to accept them. he said it flew in the face of the integrity of the single market and they couldn't accept that. i hope what we found yesterday was that there is a proposal which the eu is advancing

ona proposal which the eu is advancing on a very close free trade agreement which actually does meet the objectives that the government originally set about taking back control about set control of our laws, money and borders. did the name boris johnson crop laws, money and borders. did the name borisjohnson crop up?m didn't. boris knows michel barnier but the name dominic raab cropped up a lot more because michel barnier have just spent a lot of time with him. you think they have a good relationship? i think they have only just started talking to each other but i would say so. i think michel barnier is a very professional, charming politician. he is always very courteous. it is the third time on which our committee has been to meet him. i actually found yesterday's meeting more encouraging than the first two. in the first two you took the view that we need to accept the norway deal all the switzerland steel, you can't have your own custom deal. yesterday he

said we can and that is what he was aiming to achieve. i think it was a more positive meeting. we are out of time, aren't we? there is only one deal on the table which you think is dead. actually, i don't think that is the only deal on the table. there is the only deal on the table. there is the only deal on the table. there is the deal which the department was working on under david davis with michel barnier and which michel barnier has spent a great deal of time on and that is the free—trade agreement. because it is based on canada and preserving existing relationships, i think it could be achieved relatively quickly. so there is a plan b? i hope that his plan a. i don't think chequers can possibly work. i think parliament would reject it in any case but the commission has made plain that, in their eyes, it is not a viable proposal. therefore i think the sooner we can get on proposal. therefore i think the sooner we can get on with discussing a canada style, a canada plus plus plus — type agreement, the better the chances are that we can agree it within the timescale left. can i just ask you about the gmb's

decision, the country's biggest trade union, calling for a vote on the referendum. i think people who try to claim that the british people we re try to claim that the british people were somehowjute are doing a huge disservice to do democracy. i find in my constituency that people feel as strongly as they did at the time of the referendum and i see no evidence that people on a very large scale have changed their mind. nor doi scale have changed their mind. nor do i think it right to talk about a second referendum. the decision was taken. what all parties now should be doing is getting the best outcome and that is what we should be concentrating on. i knew you would be surprised yesterday but do you feel you have more in common with michel barnier than theresa may?” don't like chequers and until chequers, everything that the prime minister have set about brexit, i have agreed with. she made it plain we we re have agreed with. she made it plain we were leaving the single market and the customs union and she set out the kind of objectives which i think that we've believe that free

trade agreement would deliver. by problem with chequers is that we are not breaking free or taking back control because we would remain under the control of the european union under their regulations and the ecj's decisions. thank you so much for your time this afternoon. scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon has set out her latest programme for the government. the snp leader outlined what she has declared as the ‘most ambitious long—term level of infrastructure spend that scotland has ever seen.‘ our correspondent steven godden was following the speech in holyrood. all this with suggestions that actually there's not a lot of money to with in scotland. yes, this is nicola sturgeon setting out her priorities for the ahead within the resources that she has available to her. 12 new bills are being put forward that will be introduced in the next 12 months covering a wide range of topics. ourjewellery, them most topical would be the issue of

mental health. we have figures this morning saying that a third of young people being treated for mental health problems are not being treated within an 18 week target. nicola sturgeon says that is unacceptable and used a visit this morning to a school in edinburgh to sit in on a discussion on mental health, really signalling her intent. this afternoon we found out what she intends to do about it. within the programme the government, we found out about a £60 million investment which will allow every secondary school in the country to have a counsellor and the most seriously ill will be fast tracked to the services that they need. this is what the minister has to say about that. we will invest £60 million in additional school counselling and nursing services. this will ensure we have more nurses and councillors and make sure every school has a counselling service. we wa nt school has a counselling service. we want support and professional

learning materials for teachers and by the end of the academic year in 2019, everyone will have mental health support. there is a wide ranging programme, picking out a few headlines with more investment and people making a switch to a metric ca rs. people making a switch to a metric cars. more money for police reform. on education, which is where nicola sturgeon says she wants her government to bejudged, a new headteacher ‘s charter will be introduced in the coming year which will give headteachers more power. the bulk of the speech was to do with the economy. she was talking about legislation that would underpin a new investment bank and there was also this pledge about increased infrastructure spending. the backdrop to all of that was brexit which, of course, the scottish government view as something that is unwarranted and something that is unwarranted and something that is unwarranted and something that will be damaging. this is what she has to say about brexit. we simply cannot ignore brexit. we simply cannot ignore brexit or indeed the uk government's

shamefully shambolic handling of these negotiations. for our part, we will continue to make the case for eu membership. short of that, we will press the uk government to remain in the single market and the customs union. and as the terms of brexit become clear in the months ahead, we will consider and set out our view on how scotland's interest can best be protected and advanced. of course as we sawjust yesterday, it is clear that an increasing numberof our it is clear that an increasing number of our fellow citizens believe, as we do, that the best future for scotland lies in the coming and independent country. future for scotland lies in the coming and independent countrym future for scotland lies in the coming and independent country. so a nod there to the ongoing debate about the potential for a second independent referendum about which the first minister says she will give more information as the year goes on. the opposition, the scottish conservatives, they say the discussion of brexit is a case of the scottish government getting their excuses in early. the debate

in there is going on, the opposition parties are putting forward their views on what the government have had to say. that will continue for the rest of the afternoon and for the rest of the afternoon and for the next three afternoons here at holyrood. japan is being battered by one of the most powerful typhoons to hit the country in a quarter of a century. the typhoon which at the start to 600 miles an hour is one of the strongest and a quarter of a century. it is a tropical storm gordon and went over south florida yesterday and we could be seeing the

first hurricane of the season on the gulf coast. you are renowned by jaw artistic talent so let's look of rule of the pictures you have painted of a hurricane. let's explain. something i did know, the difference between a hurricane and a typhoon is? nothing at all. a typhoon is? nothing at all. a typhoon is? nothing at all. a typhoon is a big wins and a hurricane is derived from spanish and that is a local name for the atla ntic and that is a local name for the atlantic so they are the same phenomena. what is that in the middle? we have the eye of the storm, that is where we have the worst of the weather. we talk about how big hurricane is. the worst of the weather is only about 100 miles across but the whole storm could be anywhere from the south coast, if you were to overlay it across the uk, from the south coast all the way to scotland but it is that area that has the worst of the weather. what

is going on here? these are spiral bands and they are thunderstorms which lined up and they swell into the hurricane. you can see it on the screen, if the thunderstorm start here, it spirals in quicker and quicker and then into the eye faster and faster and that is where the devastating weather is. in the middle where we have the eye, it is calm and no wind. our weather reports would be so much better if we used your paintings. that is hurricane is but we have had a typhoon in the pacific.” hurricane is but we have had a typhoon in the pacific. i want a dog about this because this is a picture you have painted showing the effects ? you have painted showing the effects? yes, a little bit more impressionistic. it is a palm tree being swept in the wind. obviously it is not my typical artwork. i do portraits. this is something new i

tried a couple of months ago. how long did it take you to do?” tried a couple of months ago. how long did it take you to do? i locked myself in my little art studio at home for about three days and polished off a couple of these. and now he's going to read the weather. well, it's a fairly quiet on the weather fronts today. dry weather but for many of us it is actually quite cloudy and that is the trend for the next few days, rather a lot of cloud on the way. and a chance of catching a little bit of rain. today, it is looking dry. there is a bit of sunshine around, mostly across north—western areas of the uk. really bright for belfast, western isles of scotland and some sunshine in the south—east to and quite warm. for northern and central areas of the uk and down into wales and the south west, there are some stubborn clouds today. also tomorrow. notice there is a bit of rain potentially on the way for norwich, maybe that south eastern portion of the country tonight, even a rumble of thunder. the weather is going to change tomorrow in the north—west of the country.

you can see the wind increasing here. there is also a weather front approaching so rain for the western isles eventually we will see some rain forming in belfast as well. the vast majority of the uk will have a dry day again tomorrow. still 21 in london but fresher there in the north—west. this is bbc news — our latest headlines: the labour party's national executive has started its crunch talks over whether to adopt in full the international definition of anti—semitism. jeremy corbyn supporters and opponents have been protesting outside the party's london headquaters. tsb's chief executive paul pester has resigned after a botched computer upgrade earlier this year caused online banking chaos for customers. an online test taken by almost two million people suggests four out of five adults are at risk of heart disease, public health england have said. and scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon has set out her latest

programme for the government, announcing what she describes as the ‘most ambitious long—term level of infrastructure spend that scotland has ever seen' let's get the sport now from sarah in the bbc sport centre and roger federer, very forlorn figure? no grand slam number 21 in new york this year for roger federer, he's out of the us open and he really struggled in the heat and humidity. his match only finished before 1am local time, despite this it was close to 30 degrees and he said he couldn't get any air in circulation. he said he was "happy the match was over" after playing in "uncomfortable" conditions. he made 77 unforced errors on his way to the four set loss to unseeded john millman. in fact he was a little uncomfortable beating federer when he wasn't at his best. this is how one fan reacted to roger

federer. we have all been there, roger federer. the roof is on and with the conditions it makes it a different us open. you have soaking wet trousers, soaking wet everything and you try to play and everything gets slower as you try to hit winners. now we were expecting a roger federer novak djokovic quarterfinal — but it will bejohn millman who will take on the serb. there's nothing quite like the ryder cup for sporting rivalry — we'll know more about who the europeans will face later? getting ever closer to the ryder cup in paris. we know who the eight automatic qualifiers for europe and

the usa so the wild card begins. if you fancy yourself as europe in then you fancy yourself as europe in then you can vote on the bbc sport website for who you would pick. but tomorrow the real european captain, is thomas bjorn will announce his wild cards. later tonight the usa captainjim furyk, will wild cards. later tonight the usa captain jim furyk, will announce three of his four pics and the final one will be on sunday. iain carter has more on how that might go. i think this will be straightforward for the captain i think this will be straightforward forthe captainjim i think this will be straightforward for the captain jim furyk. i think this will be straightforward for the captainjim furyk. every pundit is saying it is going to be tiger woods, it is going to be phil mickelson and it is going to be bryson dechambeau. there is a compelling argument for certainly two of those three. tiger woods played himself into contention with a very impressive return, five top ten, after the injury problems he has had. had he had a full qualifying period, the trend of his performances would have taken him

into the team automatically. bryson dechambeau is of the back of victories of the pga series and phil mickelson has played in every ryder cup since the mid—19 905. he has been the architect of the task force, the new outlook to the ryder cup the americans have. i know his form hasn't been great of late, ju5t one top ten since march, i think he i5 one top ten since march, i think he is the one who will get the nod at this stage, leaving one more wild ca rd this stage, leaving one more wild card pick for next week. manchester united manager jose mourinho has reportedly been fined and has accepted a suspended one—year prison sentence in connection with a claim he failed to declare around £3 million in earnings to the spanish tax authorities. spanish media is reporting he has been fined 60% of the money involved

which equates to £1.8 million. a possible prison sentence has been averted given his acceptance of the sanction. formula one'5 new golden boy — lando norri5 — says he has no problem with being compared with lewis hamilton. he's been promoted by mclaren and will become britain's younge5t driver in f1 next season as he follows a similar path to the reigning f1 world champion hamilton. he said his main aim at his new team in the short term will simply be to help them improve. that's all the sport for now. doctors are being urged to write letters in clear, simple english that's easier for patients to understand. new guidance has been issued by the academy of medical royal colleges, encouraging hospital consultants to stop using latin phrases and medicaljargon. it comes after gps reported that some patients were having to book appointments just to have technical terms explained. iamjoined in i am joined in the studio by a gp and broadcaster. let's go through some of the terms because we have all been there. if someone has a

hangover, what would a gp right for that? i don't know, at they were probably right hangover. we do tend to write etoh for alcohol. we use acronyms as well as latin. i don't know what a gp would write for the hangover? what about a runny nose? is this a common thing when patients eight ijust don't get this? in the clinic this morning i had a patient who had booked in justice morning i had a patient who had booked injustice speak morning i had a patient who had booked in justice speak to morning i had a patient who had booked injustice speak to me about the letter they come from the specialist. they had had an mri scan

and they wanted to know what it meant. it is annoying first of all, but there is a serious side to this because you are talking about patients who, at the time, are worried about what has been written and the more latin you read, the more serious you probably think it is. it is notjust latin, it is acronyms as well. it is all about patient empowerment. knowledge is power at the end of the day and we wa nt power at the end of the day and we want our patients to be responsible and empowered when it comes to their health. if they are trying to read things in very archaic language, that will not help. we are moving towards writing to patients, rather than just writing to the gp or the specialist. it is pointless if it is in this totally indecipherable language. is it time to have everything? when doctors are changed, get rid of the latin and speak english? we use a lot of things, all doctors use the latin

for tomorrow. we also write stat for every day. it is short—term, we use terms on prescriptions like bd which is latin for twice a day. and also pn, which is meaning as required. are you flummoxed by what some of your colleagues? i think it can be and there are words that you can easily write a dry eyes or too many tea rs. easily write a dry eyes or too many tears. let me read this, synchronous diaphragmatic flutter. that is probably easier to spell than hiccups. hiccups would do it for me. thank you for coming in. let's get more now on the latest

developments around brexit — today, the gmb union called on the government to give the public the final say on brexit. we can now speak to the labour mp owen smith. he's in westminster for us this afternoon. they are clear of people's vote. when they have negotiations on a deal on behalf of their members, they then put it to be union members to see if they want to reject or accept it. you are ready for the new term, where do you think we are with brexit? i think it is moving. the polling we have seen in the last 24 hours bears out what i am feeling and other colleagues are hearing in constituencies. more and more people

are aware that either they didn't have the facts or they weren't given the full facts or in many instances, they were lied to by people, in particular on the leave side of the debate and it isn't easy, we cannot do simple trade deals and we will be worse off and they can see the impact in their pockets already and they are having second thoughts in their millions. are many of them saying can't you politiciansjust get on with it? there is a bit of that as well. people who are committed to brexit are frustrated by the constant arguing over it and others are bored by the whole thing. but in their millions, there are people who are actively considering this and are switching to remain. it is because i think they have realised this is more difficult and there are more downsides than appreciated. who is talking about

stockpiling medicines or food and who thought they would have to be 18 oats to give to the people to give them some idea in the event of a disastrous no deal. i don't remember anybody talking about that.” disastrous no deal. i don't remember anybody talking about that. i was talking tojohn whittingdale and a group of brexiteers went out to meet michel barnier and they seem to be closer to deal anybody else? they are agreeing that deal theresa may made when she was at chequers, saying it on pics the european union. what is clear is we are running the risk of going down the route of a disastrous no deal or having to accept some cobbled together post—chequers deal which is going to leave britain worse off and leave my constituents whirls daily—macro worse off than they were before this sorry affair began. the right thing to do is trust the

people and give them the democratic opportunity to say whether they are content with what is on offer, what the real deal is or whether they would like to think again and remaining the eu? it is an illustration of the difficulties your party faces. i have to talk about anti—semitism, this crunch meeting this afternoon, what is your view that should be decided by the nec this afternoon? that they should without caveat, take on the recognised definition of anti—semitism and that would begin the healing process after what has been a particularly shaming episode in my party. if they don't, what? then the hurt we have caused amongst the jewish community in then the hurt we have caused amongst thejewish community in our country and beyond our country, the labour party will continue to be viewed by

some as racist. that cannot be allowed to happen. if those shame us allowed to happen. if those shame us all that we are having to debate that. you know you run against jeremy corbyn in the leadership, is there an element, this is about seeing an open goal if you like, thatjeremy corbyn, in not having responded in the way you liked to this row, you sense there is a way of attacking him? i voiced my concerns about anti—semitism in the labour party and the extent to which it is being sheltered underjeremy corbyn, back in 2016 when i ran againstjeremy and it hasn't been dealt with adequately in the subsequent two years. my concerns about this are long—standing and on the record. i thinkjeremy corbyn is the record. i thinkjeremy corbyn is the leader of our party and he has the leader of our party and he has the responsibility to fix this and he must do so. owen smith, thank you for your time. we'll have the business news in a moment, but first let's get

the headlines on afternoon live: decision day for labour: the party's national executive meets to decide whether to accept in full an international definition of anti—semitism. the chief executive of tsb, paul pester, has stepped down in the wake of a major it failure that left customers locked out of their accounts. people over 30 are being urged to take an online test to find out if they are at an increased risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke. here's your business headlines on afternoon live. the head of tsb paul pester is to step down in the wake of a major it failure at the bank and will receive a pay—out worth nearly £1.7 million, made up of £1.2 million severance pay and a "historical" bonus of around £480,000. he has been with the bank seven years. all other performance—related pay has been frozen amid investigations into the it fiasco. the governor of the bank of england has said he is willing to stay on as governor of the bank

of england if it will help the government "smooth" the brexit transition. mr carney is due to step down from the role injune 2019 and told the treasury committee that he has been talking to the chancellor about his future. sony has ended its repair service for the playstation , for the playstation, more than 18 years after it first went on sale. the console was first released injapan in march 2000 and remains the best—selling games console ever produced. manufacturing of the device ended in 2012. sony said it was no longer able to offer repairs because it was running out of replacement parts for the ageing console. interest rates went uplast month — has it fed through to savings rates for ordinary people? it's been a month since the bank

of england announced the base interest rate was to go up to 0.75% — in theory this should mean anyone with a tracker mortgage would see their repayments go up but also anyone with savings should get a bit more back for their money. however, a month later, out of 119 variable rate savings accounts only 52 have passed on the increase to their customers. some of those increases are as small as 0.05%. that is what i would have expected. you would be happy with that? that is savings. we will go on to

mortgages. however, if we look at mortgages, 48 out of 81 providers have already increased their standard variable rate. earlier we spoke to anna bowes, director of the savings champion website. earlier we spoke to anna bowes, director in the last base rate rise we had last year, we saw exactly the same thing. in fact, 50% of all variable—rate savings accounts did not increase at all and we are seeing much of the same this time, i'm afraid. it is not just about the fact that 50% of providers haven't even told us what they are doing, but that most of them aren't changing the rates on all of them. it is a bit of a lottery, you might get nothing, you might get 0.05%, you might get 0.25%. it is really important is to take a look at what you are receiving. not a single high street lender has managed to pass the interest rate rise onto its savers, a month on from the bank of england's announcement, figures show. it's a year now since the government

introduced 30 hours of free childcare for three and four year olds. the govt says 340,000 children benefitted. but the money the government is paying providers is not going up. we have research from the tuc and we can go to kate bell at the tuc. just explain what has gone wrong? it is to do with the costs of running childcare? we have seen the cost of childcare? we have seen the cost of childcare rising significantly. we saw childcare costs going up three times as fast as wages and that still leaving parents with really pretty extreme costs they are having to find out of their budgets. we found for example, for a full—time

earning couple on average earnings, they are facing costs of nearly £5,000 a year so childcare costs are pretty high. £5,000 a year on top, after they have their free childcare allowa nce after they have their free childcare allowance from the government? yes, once you have taken into account the free childcare allowance, some support through tax credits, that is the amount they would still need to be finding in order to meet their childcare bills are most people would agree it is pretty tough, particularly when wages are flat—lining. particularly when wages are flat-lining. there are reports providers are going out of business because of this? we are hearing reports that the funding provided by government isn't enough to meet their costs. one of the things we would like to see to help meet the costs of childcare is the government providing more funding to local authorities to make sure everyone can get the good quality, affordable child care they need. what you want basically is more money, not to you

obviously, but more money for the childcare providers? we don't want to see a childcare system run on the cheap and it needs to be properly funded. we know about the benefits of childcare in helping children develop but also helping parents enjoy a decent worklife balance and making sure having kids isn't incompatible with going back to work. that being affordable is important because we need to make sure that isn't a choice parents have to face. do you get the impression childcare is economically important to the country? enabling more people to go out to work can be economical important and we think we are wasting the talents of millions of pa rents are wasting the talents of millions of parents who are having to make the tough choice of whether they can afford to go back to work. of course we know in the long—term, investing in children's development, high—quality childcare, is vital to

making sure children go on to thrive, do well and make an important contribution in the future. so we do think we should see this as an economic benefit, but also benefits parents in the here and now. thank you very much indeed. and the markets? the us markets are open, but that is down a little bit. the pound has regained a bit of strength kameni was dipping down below against the euro but it is now up below against the euro but it is now up again. we will see you later. time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz schafernaker. well, it's looking a little bit cooler for most of us today. there's quite a lot of cloud around and this is the trend really for the next few days, there will be more cloud, a greater chance of catching some rain and it is going to be cooler and cooler. there is a lot of cloud out there in the atlantic, we were looking at this yesterday. these weather systems are pushing through in our direction.

no real rain—bearing cloud around today, just an area of cloud stretching there from eastern parts of scotland from newcastle, yorkshire, down into birmingham and the south west as well. but generally speaking, it is a dry day. the south east, still some warmth left there, 23 in london and brighter in scotland and northern ireland. but here, it is going to be a little bit fresher this afternoon. you can see behind me the winds are freshening, there is an area of low pressure and the weather fronts are approaching. but for the time being, most of us tonight looking dry apart from that extreme south—eastern part of the country and possibly into east anglia. there could even be a rumble of thunder. and then tomorrow, again, a generally dry day across the uk but notice that the weather fronts now, that satellite picture that i showed you at the beginning, these weather fronts are starting to move in and they are bringing outbreaks of rain into western scotland, parts of northern ireland. still across parts of yorkshire, for example, and northern wales, the weather on thursday. and into thursday, we start to see a change, weather fronts across northern parts of the country bringing rather a lot of cloud, some rain showers feeding

in there on a north—westerly wind. so you get the sense that from these north—westerly winds it is going to feel quite a bit fresher. actually, for some of us there could be a bit of heavy rain around, particularly from these showers across northern areas. still maybe making 20 in the south east but probably after that it really is cooling off. then on friday, low pressure is very much in charge of the weather across many northern part of the uk. maybe not so much in the south, we could just about get away with dry weather across parts of the midlands and the south. but the thinking is that this area of wind and rain will slip a little bit further into yorkshire, possibly the north midlands by the time we get to friday afternoon. so certainly looking a lot more unsettled towards the end of the week. just a quick outlook into the weekend, temperatures around the teens for most of us. maybe bumping up a little bit there briefly in the south east but generally speaking, it is looking pretty unsettled for many of us. hello, you're watching afternoon live — i'm simon mccoy.

today at 4. decision day for labour — the party's national executive meets to decide whether to accept in full an international definition of anti—semitism. i make no secret of my view we should have the full definition into our document. i have said that over the summer. i hope that that is what the summer. i hope that that is what the nec does. the boss of tsb — one of britain's biggest high street banks — is standing down after a major it fiasco that left customers locked out of their accounts. how old is your heart? chances are it's a lot older than you are. we look at the online test to determine your risk of a heart attack or a stroke. coming up on afternoon live — all the sport. it is the final chaps for scotland to try and book their place at the

women's football world cup. they have just kicked off against albania. . it is quiet on the the weather front. more weather happening around the world with storms. but more on that in half an hour. i shall see you then. thank you. also coming up n news nationwide: some wild vole news — why hundreds of the endangered rodents are being released from captivity. rival protest groups are demonstrating outside labour headquarters this afternoon — as the party's ruling national executive is meeting to decide whether to adopt in full the international definition of anti—semitism. jewish groups, trade union leaders and many labour mp5 have urged the party to change its stance,

and to defuse allegations of anti—semitism that have dogged the party leadership for months now. our political correspondent iain watson reports. these demonstrations outside labour's headquarters today underline just how controversial and emotional the party's position on anti—semitism has become. so canjeremy corbyn detoxify a row that has raged all summer? he is on his way to a meeting of labour's ruling national executive which will look again at how the party tackles the issue. jeremy corbyn's deputy says labour should except in full all the examples of anti—semitism set out by the international holocaust remember and alliance. well, i make no secret of my view that we should have the full ira check definition into our document. i've obviously said that over the summer. i hope that that is what the nec does. that includes every example?

every example of anti—semitism so that we can be very clear that we are serious about tackling anti—semitism both in the labour party and in wider society. so what is at issue? back injuly, labour's national executive accepted an international definition of anti—semitism which makes it clear it is a form of racism. but it angered jewish mp5 and many in the wider community when it didn't incorporate into a new code of conduct four of the accompanying 11 examples of anti—semitic behaviour. that is accusing people of being more loyal to israel than their own country. expecting higher standards of behaviour from israel than other nations. and comparing israeli policies to the nazis. labour says it has simply reworded and in some cases strengthened these examples. but one example, claiming israel's existence as a state is a racist endeavour was resisted byjeremy corbyn and his supporters as they felt this would restrict the free speech of palestinians in particular. tensions are still running high

here and under pressure, it looks as if labour's ruling national executive will agree to accept all the internationally defined examples of anti—semitism. but it's also likely that they will make crystal clear that party members and should be free to criticise the government of israel as long as there is no other evidence of anti—semitic intent. some in thejewish committee say there is no need for any caveats. it would be helpful of course if critics were to actually read what the definition says. i actually think that the examples in the definition are very helpful on that very point, what it says is that it is not anti—semitic to criticise israel if the standards applied are as the same as to any other country. it is only about doing things in a common—sense fashion. labour hope to defuse the row that has dominated the summer but it still has the capacity to damage the party's reputation.

and iain watsonjoins us now from labour's headquarters in central london. it is fairto it is fair to say there were more demonstrators earlier. yes. not as busy as it was. the surprising thing i have got to tell you is there is no news. why that is surprising? we expected the debate too take about half an hour. but after nearly two hours, they haven't reached any agreement on how they're going to handle this issue and they had a brief break about 15 minutes ago and i chatted to a member of the national executive and they're going to go back in and have further discussions. what seems to be at the root of this is simply not the fact that they're now going to move and accept all the internationally defined examples of anti—semitism, but what caveats will be put in place. demonstrators were concerned

their free speech would be constrained and they wouldn't be criticise israel and believing standing upfor criticise israel and believing standing up for palestinian rights may fall foul of this. others say there is nothing in the definition that prevents people criticising the israeli goth. goth government. but it was felt there should be some statement making sure it was clear that members could criticise the israeli government and not be accused of anti—semitism. but what has not been agreed is what the wording would be and the compromise would be. and that shows the divisions we have have seen in the street have been played out in there. some senior voices, street have been played out in there. some seniorvoices, including there. some seniorvoices, including the deputy leader, tom watson, he said protecting free speech was fine, if you put in a caveat that seems to water down labour's

commitment to tackling anti—semitism, then trust with the jewish community may not be rebuild and the discussions may be in vain. the point is you use the word compromise, the two sides seem to be firmly entrenched that it is all or nothing? what people in the jewish labour movement, which is affiliated to the labour party has been saying very clearly is that there should be no ifs or buts, that trust has broken down and to put in a caveat would suggest symbolically labour wasn't listening to their concerns. on the other side, including the mp chris williamson, unless you can say there is clearly and explicitly the right for the members to criticise the isli government, some ofjeremy corbyn's supporters may feel under

threat of expulsion from the labour party. the compromise i understood it was going to be full accept ance of the definition, but some caveat. but now it looks nobody can agree on the caveat. if it is extensive, expect denunciation from the jewish sector. and if not others will say jeremy corbyn has caved into pressure. thank you. we will take you back there as soon as we get any news. the boss of tsb, one of britain's biggest high street banks, has paid the price for its disastrous it switch, which led to almost two million customers being locked out out of their accounts. paul pester is stepping down after seven years as the bank's chief executive. he will still walk away with a pay off worth more than one and a half million pounds. here's our personal finance correspondent simon gompertz. paul pester was the boss who led millions of tsb customers out

of lloyds and into a new independent bank to challenge the big names. triumphant at first, but then disaster struck. i'm sorry says the boss of tsb. taken down, tsb's online banking is suspended as it tries to sort technical problems... in april, a major systems upgrade to move customer details over from lloyds fell apart. nearly two million were shut out of their online accounts. some even managed to see other people's account details. at one point, paul pester said the bank was on its knees. it is a big apology to our tsb customers. this is not the service that we want to give them or they should receive from tsb. the most staggering example of a chief executive who seems unwilling to realise the scale of the problem. as the crisis went on, mp5 laid into him for saying tsb was running smoothly when people were still having trouble

using their accounts. i think it is the right decision for paul pester to step down as chief executive of tsb. customers have been hugely inconvenienced for many weeks or even months in the way that the it changeover happened and how it affected their accounts. paul pester will still get £1.2 million of basic pay he is due for his notice period, plus almost £500,000 for bonuses for previous years. a £2 million bonus connected to the upgrade has already been stripped away and any further payments are on hold during the investigations into what went wrong. paul pester was the person in charge when the decision was taken to proceed with the disastrous it upgrade. he was also widely criticised for being complacent afterwards. but tsb has been adamant that he is not being given all the blame, they simply don't want someone at the helm who is distracted by investigations and the blame game. do tsb's users, like these in

glasgow, think he should have gone? technically, yes, but there are other people to be blamed as well. it is theirjob to make sure things go right. the computers were haywire but i think it was tight. the talk in the banking world has been when and not if paul pester would lose hisjob. meanwhile, tsb still has work to do. yesterday, its customers had problems using their online accounts yet again. simon gompertz, bbc news. president trump's nominee for the highest court in the us — the supreme court — has begun four days of hearings in front of the senate. brett kavanaugh would tilt the court's balance to the right if approved by the senate. but proceedings began with sharp exchanges as democrats demanded the hearing be adjourned, including senator patrick leahy.

i have been in the senate for 19 supreme court nominations. what is being done here is unprecedented and i keep coming back to the same question — what are we trying to hide? what are we hiding? what's being hidden? why not have it open like all others? the only other time we heard a president invoke executive privilege was president reagan during the william wentworth hearing and republicans and democrats together went to him and said, don't do that. he said, ok. you're right. and he withdrew his request of executive privilege and released the documents. i... mr chairman... i'm just

released the documents. i... mr chairman... i'mjust sorry released the documents. i... mr chairman... i'm just sorry to see the committee descend this way. our washington correspondent gary o'donoghue is on capitol hill. why are they getting so wound up about this. because they don't want brett kava naugh confirmed about this. because they don't want brett kavanaugh confirmed as a supreme courtjustice, brett kavanaugh confirmed as a supreme court justice, because brett kavanaugh confirmed as a supreme courtjustice, because his conservative background and views would change the nature of the supreme court, giving a majority to the conservative wing, going forward for decades to come. that may sound esoteric, but it has a concrete impact on americans' lives. so bear in mind it is only the most important cases that get to the supreme court. things that touch on fundamental rights like the right to an abortion or gay marriage or the right to carry a gun. they're all

supreme court decisions. the liberals believe this change in direction of court will chip away at some of those more liberal reforms if you like that have been brought in by that supreme court. thank you. you're watching afternoon live, these are our headlines: decision day for labour: the party's national executive meets to decide whether to accept in full an international definition of anti—semitism. the chief executive of tsb, paul pester, has stepped down in the wake of a major it failure that left customers locked out of their accounts. people over 30 are being urged to take an online test to find out if they are at an increased risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke. coming up: japan's being battered by one of the most powerful typhoons to hit the country in a quarter of a century. in sport, scotland came to qualify for the world cup in the women's

world cup. they‘ re for the world cup in the women's world cup. they're leading 1—0. adam lalla na has pulled world cup. they're leading 1—0. adam lallana has pulled out of the men's team. he has returned to liverpool for treatment. and reports suggest manchester united manager, jose mourinho, has reached a deal with the spanish state on a one—year suspended sentence in a long—running tax case. i will be back with more at half past. scotland's first minister — nicola sturgeon — has set out her latest programme for the government. the snp leader outlined what she has declared as the ‘most ambitious long—term level of infrastructure spend that scotland has ever seen'. our scotland correspondent steven godden is at holyrood. this is nicola sturgeon setting out her priorities for the year ahead within the resources that she has available to her. 12 new bills being put forward that will be into deuced in the next 12 months, covering a

wide range of topic. arguably the most topical would be the issue of mental health. we had new figures today saying a third of young people who are trying to be treated for mental health problems are not being treated within an 18 week target. she said that is not acceptable and today sat in a discussion at a school. today we find out what she intends to do. within that programme for government we hear about a £60 million investment that will allow every secondary school to have a counsellor and the most seriously ill will be fast—tracked to services. we will invest £60 million in school nursing and counselling to support 350 counsellors and 250 school nurse and ensure every secondary school has a counselling

service. we will enhance learning material for teaches. to pick out a few of the headlines, more investment on people making the switch to electric cars. on justice, talking about more money for police reform. and interestingly on education, which is whether nicola sturgeon says she wants her government to bejudged, a new head teacher's charter will be introduced to give head teachers more power. but the bulk of the speech was to do with the economy and she talked of legislation to underpin a new investment bank and this pledge about increased infrastructure spending. but the backdrop was brexit which the scottish government view as something that is unwanted and will be damaging. here is what she said about that. we cannot

ignore brexit or the uk government's shamefully shambolic handling of the negotiations. for our part we will continue to make the case for eu membership, short of that we will press the uk government to remain in the single market and the customs union. as the terms become clearer, we will consider and set out our view on how scotland's interests be best protected and advanced. as we saw yesterday, it is clear that an increasing number of our fellow citizens believe as we do that the best future for scotland lies in becoming an independent country. best future for scotland lies in becoming an independent countrym a nod to the ongoing debate about the potential for a second independence referendum, about which the first minister said she will give more information as the year goes on. the opposition, the scottish conservatives, said the

discussion of brexit is a case of the scottish government getting their excuses in early. the debate is continuing. that will continue for the rest of the afternoon and indeed for the next three afternoons here at holyrood. thank you. the home secretary said he is prepared to fly to tehran to help nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe. prepared to fly to tehran to help nazanin zaghari-ratcliffe. she is innocent and she is separated from her daughter and her husband and will continue to leave no stone unturned to get her home. a small plane has crash landed into the waves at a popular surf beach in west wales.

pictures show the aircraft nose—first in the sea at whitesands bay in st davids following the incident at about one thirty this afternoon. the pilot was pulled from the aircraft by lifeguards suffering with a head injury and shock, and has been checked by paramedics. people over over 30 are being urged to ta ke people over over 30 are being urged to take a test about their heart. heart attacks and strokes kill around 34,000 people each year in england. but most are preventible according to public health england. so officials want everyone over 30 to co m plete so officials want everyone over 30 to complete the online test to assess their heart's health. we know too many people are dying prematurely from heart attack and strokes. it is the leading cause of

death in men. people will be able to understand their risk and take on action on addressing that risk. the test asks 16 questions about health and lifestyle and estimates the risk of having a heart attack or stroke. of the two million who have taken is. 78 had a heart age older than their own age. i know my blood pressure. . . their own age. i know my blood pressure... a clinic was offering help with the test. this woman is 42, but the test said her heart age was 50. you don't realise the impact on your heart. and when you see such a statistics, eight years older than what you are, it does make you think

what you are, it does make you think what else can i change in my life to help my future and make myself healthier long—term. help my future and make myself healthier long-term. eating more than five portions of fruit and vegetables, giving up smokings and exercise help. the test gives a rough guide, hoping to encourage people to make vital lifestyle changes. you can find out more about the heart test —— including a link to the nhs test itself —— at the bbc news website —— in health. later we will be hearing from the brexit secretary. one of britain's biggest trade unions is becoming a second referendum and calling for a public vote on the the final brexit deal. the foreign secretary has been

answering questions in the house of commons and said the failure to secure a deal would be a mistake for the continent. i have had talks with 18 european union foreign ministers and all of them said the same thing, that if there isn't a deal about our exit from the eu, britain will find a way to survive and prosper. but that would be a big mistake for the continent of europe, because in a time of great international upheaval, countries that share the same values should stand together. our political correspondent is in westminster. the news that the gmb union has backed a call for referendum on the final deal. a number of unions have said they think that is the right course of action. but the gmb is the biggest. joining me is tim roche, the general

secretary. there are people who say a second vote is a betrayal of the referendum. why do you think it is not? we need to be clear about the difference. first, the gmb accepted the outcome of the referendum itself and that is to leave. the people have spoken. but the final deal should be put to working people. in trade union terms, if we negotiate a pay deal for our members, we put that deal back to the members and they decide whether it is acceptable. the position is this, we have no faith, given what what's happened in this government delivering a brexit deal that works for working people. if the government are comfortable with that, let's let the people decide. is part of this putting pressure on labour to change its position, because jeremy corbyn labour to change its position, becausejeremy corbyn so labour to change its position, because jeremy corbyn so far labour to change its position, becausejeremy corbyn so far has said the labour does not support another vote, the people spoke in the referendum and they respect that view. well that is a matter for labour and the labour party co nfe re nce labour and the labour party conference we will be having this

debate and from the gmb's view, given this was an executive decision made by the executive, i will encourage labour to follow suit. but we are not rowing back on the brexit decision. the gmb accepts the decision. the gmb accepts the decision. it is terms that we come out of europe and that is as vital as the decision to come out. as well as the decision to come out. as well as the decision to come out. as well as the argument, people will say it is an attempt to overturn the referendum. some say rerunning the vote could cause unjest. jest —— unrest. i don't think it will cause as much unrest as if a bad deal was accepted by parliament. why should it be 65 parliamentarians deciding who will have agendas for themselves, rather than the millions of working people that i and the trade union movement represent? people were given false promises,

where is the £350 million for the nhs and the jobs plan on the brexit white pape sner where are the guarantees for my workers they won't be slung on the scrap heap? the government's position is they're working to get a deal that will protect j bs working to get a deal that will protect jbs jobs working to get a deal that will protectjbsjobs and working to get a deal that will protectjbs jobs and the prime minister spoke of a brexit rebate, because we won't be sending those sums to the eu. we don't know what the deal is and you can't say those things won't happen.” the deal is and you can't say those things won't happen. i can't, but if the government are so confident in nair ability to negotiate a good deal that works for working people and protectsjob, deal that works for working people and protects job, what deal that works for working people and protectsjob, what have their got to fear? let the people decide. on another matter, there was discussion about whether labour should adopt the full international holocaust remembrance alliance definition of anti—semitism. what doesjeremy

definition of anti—semitism. what does jeremy corbyn definition of anti—semitism. what doesjeremy corbyn need to do now to stop this, to put an end to it and resolve the tensions? the anti—semitism debate has been going on too long and has done a lot of damage within the labour movement and it is ironic the nec are meeting as we speak to decide this. i called for labour to adopt the full principles, my union has done the same, i principles, my union has done the same, | encourage principles, my union has done the same, i encourage jeremy corbyn to do that and labour to do that. let's move on from anti—semitism and stamp out anti—semitism, but it does, adoption of this does not prevent criticism of israeli government for the abhor rant decisions they sometimes make. thank you. the prime minister said in her view, a second vote would be a betrayal of the people's trust, because nay they put

the trust in the government. we have had a response from the conservative party chairman, who said the referendum result should stand and rerunning the referendum would be a betrayal. so from the government no movement. but it will be interesting whether labour decides to change its position in light of gmb and next week there is the trade union congress and there will be a motion put to see if they would support the idea of a second vote on the brexit deal. thank you. now time for the weather. many people will know tomass is an artist. you have painted this picture of a hurricane. tonight, for the first time in this hurricane season we expect a hurricane season we expect a hurricane to hit the united states. here is my brush. talk us through

the elements. the colours are indicating where the strongest of the winds are. that is what i chose to show. this circle here, that is the eye of the hurricane and the best way to describe a hurricane is almost like a doughnut. in the middle it is hollow. it isjust thunder storms spinning into the centre of the storm and the closer to the centre, they're faster and faster, until they fuse and create something like a bagel. is that how you painted it? i don't think the camera's picking up that it is a sculpture here. but yes, there is a lot of work involved here. how long did that take you? about three days. the thing is i had to layer it with

different things. you can see, there isa different things. you can see, there is a firm texture here. the camera, probably, no... you can see it there. a bit. what scale are we talking of, what is the distance from there to there. we talk about physically the distance between one side of the storm and the other. from here, where i'm pointing to about here, that could be from the south coast of england to scotland. but the central area is very small. the eye can be 20 to 30 miles across and the hurricane winds only extend another 150 miles. when we talk of a trail of devastation. it is this area here. so that is one of your

pictures. we have not of a hurricane and its effect... it is a fabulous picture. explain how you put that together. it is called glazing, any artist who likes to paint with acrylics will know what it is. you cannot see the picture on the camera, you have juicy it from different angles, especially in the sunlight where it ref ra cts especially in the sunlight where it refracts the different layers.” especially in the sunlight where it refracts the different layers. i am sitting in or because it is a remarkable talent. let's return to the weather because we have been talking about hurricane. there is big news of the typhoon, a typhoon and a hurricane, the same thing? they are the same thing physically, it is just they are the same thing physically, it isjust g they are the same thing physically, it is just g griffith. typhoons happen in the pacific open around

japan and the philippines. the typhoon is derived by their local language, big wind. hurricane is the right from spanish. that is more local to that part of the world so two different names for the same storm system. now there is a typhoon hitting japan rhino? yes, one of the biggest in the last 25 years. we have some pictures. there is some amazing footage. i don't know if we have got them there, but cars, a lorry and a car crossing a bridge and they got literally swept off. so some pretty rough weather injapan andjapan some pretty rough weather injapan and japan has had it so bad, they have had multiple storms, they had that he with record—breaking temperatures, up to 41 degrees. it isa temperatures, up to 41 degrees. it is a part of the world where you get it all, earthquakes and typhoons.

but anyway, let's head back to the weatherboard. i but anyway, let's head back to the weatherboa rd. i am but anyway, let's head back to the weatherboard. i am going to show you where the typhoon is right now in japan. that's been the and head japan. that's been the and head japan. this is the storm system so the piece of artwork we were talking about, this is basically it, you can see the spirals and the middle bit i was explaining to you, about 20 or 30 miles across, the calm eye and the typhoon strength winds and as it moves it cuts the trail of devastation. this is another storm, this is tropical and gordon, on the cusp of becoming a hurricane potentially. we think it will make la ndfall potentially. we think it will make landfall around the alabama, mississippi coast, close to new o rlea ns. fortu nately mississippi coast, close to new orleans. fortunately this is an too powerful so there shouldn't be a vast amount of issues linked to this

storm, but any storm is obviously dangerous. let's talk about what's happening here. this afternoon, there's not much to say. very quiet, a bit of cloud here and there and some sunshine. here is the latest satellite image. swirls of our own, but these are not hurricane is, it isa but these are not hurricane is, it is a different part of the world and totally different type of meteorology happening. anyway, the latest satellite picture shows the clouds are broken up across norclostebol topped the uk, so we have had some sunshine. finishing temperatures will be mostly in the low 205. steady as she goes this evening and overnight. there is a risk we could see showers in the extreme south—east and east anglia. we have had a couple of light showers already in kent but we could see the thunderstorm. but for most of us it is looking calm with some clear spells. tomorrow, starting to go downhill in the north—west. we

have rain approaching the western isles of scotland so by the time we get to the afternoon, rain here and also approaching belfast at the end of the day but the most of england and wales tomorrow should be absolutely fine. thursday, weather fronts strewn across the northern half of the uk and the winds will be coming in from the north so it will feel colder across the northern half of the uk, especially on some of these north facing coasts with the breeze out of the northwest. about 14 degrees or so and also some showers. some of them will be heavy. in the south, it isn't too bad, 1920, that sort of thing. towards the end of the week and into the weekend, low pressure is close to the north sea coast, close enough to move the north sea coast, close enough to m ove a cross the north sea coast, close enough to move across the uk with rain in edinburgh, newcastle and into yorkshire. it will feel chilly on the north sea coast, only 14 in newcastle. the south gets away with

it so perhaps a drier weather for places like london and cardiff. this is the outlook into the weekend. i wouldn't concentrate too much on the weather symbols because the weather will be changing quite a bit this weekend. changeable weather, sunshine, passing clouds, showers possible and it is going to feel quite a bit cooler. that's it from me, goodbye. this is bbc news — our latest headlines: the labour party's national executive is in crunch talks over whether to adopt in full the international definition of anti—semitism. jeremy corbyn supporters and opponents have been protesting outside the party's london headquaters. tsb's chief executive paul pester has resigned after a botched computer upgrade caused online banking chaos for customers — he's set to receive £1.2 million in severance pay, plus a £480,000 bonus. an online test taken by almost two million people suggests four out of five adults are at risk of heart disease, public health england have said. and scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon has set out her latest programme for the government,

announcing what she describes as the "most ambitious long—term level of infrastructure spend that scotland has ever seen". sport now on afternoon live with sarah mulkerrins. a big moment for women's football in scotland? good afternoon. it's the final round of games in european qualifying for the women's football world cup in france next year. england we know are already through, after their win over wales on friday. northern ireland are already out. but places are at stake for scotland and wales and there are some permutations for us all to get our heads around... a win for scotland away in albania — who they are playing right now, will give them at least a play off place. 00v)they're already a goal up thanks to kim little. but if scotland better switzerland's

result against poland they will qualify automatically. so as it stands they would be heading to france. wales are not in action today, but can secure a play off place if iceland and belgium both lose their games. belgium are currently leading italy. and england are away in kazachstan are 2—0 up already. people will be watching their mobile phones because they are announcing the ryder cup players? yes, we're getting ever closer to the ryder cup in paris at the end of this month. we know who the eight automatic qualifiers are for both europe and the usa, so now the fun of wild cards begins. tomorrow, europe captain thomas bjorn will announce his four wildcards and before that, later tonight the usa captain jim furyk will announce three of his four wild card picks — the final one will come on sunday.

our golf corresponent iain carter has more on how that might go. i think this will be straightforward for the captain jim furyk. every pundit is saying it is going to be tiger woods, it is going to be phil mickelson and it is going to be bryson dechambeau. there is a compelling argument for certainly two of those three. tiger woods played himself into contention with a very impressive return, five top tens, after the injury problems he has had. had he had a full qualifying period, the trend of his performances would have taken him into the team automatically. dechambeau is of the back of victories of the pga series and phil mickelson has played in every ryder cup since the mid—19905. he has been the architect of the task force, the new outlook to the ryder cup the americans have. i know his form hasn't been great of late, just one top ten since march,

i think he is the one who will get the nod at this stage, leaving one more wild card pick for next week. adam lallana has pulled out of the england squad for the forthcoming matches against spain and switzerland due to a groin strain. he's returned to liverpool for treatment. meanwhile, fulham goalkeeper marcus bettinelli has been called up to bolster their squad. it means england now have four keepers in their party. manchester united manager jose mourinho has reportedly been fined and has accepted a suspended one—year prison sentence in connection with a claim he failed to declare around £3 million in earnings to the spanish tax authorities. spanish media is reporting he has been fined 60% of the money involved, which equates to £1.8 million. a possible prison sentence has been averted given his acceptance of the sanction. formula one's new golden boy, lando norris, says he has no problem with being compared with lewis hamilton. he's been promoted by mclaren and will become britain's youngest driver in f1 next season, as he follows a similar path to the reigning f1 world champion hamilton.

he said his main aim at his new team in the short term will simply be to help them improve that's all the sport for now. now on afternoon live, let's go nationwide and see what's happening around the country, in our daily visit to the bbc newsrooms around the uk. let's go to janine machin in cambridge, where five people who received organ transplants in the same cambridgeshire hospital injust 36 hours have been reunited. and justin leigh is in plymouth, where more than 200 endangered water voles from a captive breeding programme are being released into the wild. you can decide which one you want to cuddle. janine, patchwork hospital,

another record broken, five transplants in the space of 36 hours? it is incredible and we know this hospital is a world leader when it comes to transplants but the number of them in a short space of time. with any transplant you cannot dictate when these organs will be available. it just so dictate when these organs will be available. itjust so happened they we re available. itjust so happened they were offered one after another. these offers kept coming and the logistical coordinator at papworth said you know the patients and you know their lives depend on this transplant and you have to go all—out to make sure they happen. they had five surgeons, three theatres all performing the surgery at the same time at one point, and the record for them. they saved the lives of these five people, two had new hearts, another two had double lung transplants and the fifth received a single lung. what did we

know about the patients? they are from suffolk up to south yorkshire. if ron is a grandmother and she has a heart condition which has already killed her brother. without this transplant she said she would have had another six months left. michelle is in her 405 and had been waiting for a lung transplant for 22 yea rs waiting for a lung transplant for 22 years and had been on oxygen for the last five of them. daniel from reding is 26 and says he can finally start to think about his wedding. here are the people.” start to think about his wedding. here are the people. i couldn't drive, i found here are the people. i couldn't drive, ifound it here are the people. i couldn't drive, i found it difficult to talk. having this lung transplant has made a massive difference. it is a complete change of life and that in itself takes a lot of getting your head round because you are so used to not being able to do things and then suddenly you can and you have to keep saying, i can go up those stairs. i have gone from someone who

couldn't walk of two flights of stairs without passing out to someone stairs without passing out to someone who can stairs without passing out to someone who can run stairs without passing out to someone who can run and swim. these operations only happened a couple of months ago. daniel has gone away from climbing stairs to climbing snowdon. but there are so many still waiting for transplants and you have been talking about the rising levels of heart disease. while papworth can do amazing work, they cannot do anything without the organs in the first place. last month the government said it is looking at using the opt out system and that legislation is due to be voted on. not something everyone will agree with, but these people for show will be happy people were on the organ register. justin, why are these water vole is being released?m register. justin, why are these water vole is being released? it is a real—life tale from the water bank. ratty was the famous water

vole in the wind in the willows. but water vole is our under pressure to loss of habitat and from the non—native american mink. the local council in east devon and the conservation charity have worked with ecology specialists who have been breeding water voles in captivity to try to get them back into the wild. water voles are very important to the ecosystem of the river. because of their behaviour and feeding pattern, it helps other wildlife in the river to thrive. it is important they try to boost their numbers, which is what they are doing in east devon. how are they doing in east devon. how are they doing this? 200 water voles are being released in total and they are doing it in two different ways. releasing some of them directly into the water. others they are leaving in cages on the river bank for a few days so they can become accustomed to the area before, what is known as

a soft release takes place. one of those involved in the operation has been telling us why this work is needed. this is about restoring an animal that should be common in this wetland to its rightful place. 100 years ago they were abundant and now the species has lost 97% of its british range so we're putting this breeding population back today. they are great pictures, so when will they work out whether it has been a success ? they work out whether it has been a success? this happened in 2008 when they release 100 water voles in the same area and they have been monitoring them ever since. the studies have shown those numbers have been maintained but they haven't really thrive, so the idea is to put 200 more into the same area in the hope that eventually that will encourage the population to increase naturally and those water vole will spread further up the river system and into other

rivers and eventually populate a much wider area. it will be monitored over the next few years and they hope that this time they will have greater success than they did ten years ago. long live ratty. justin, thank you in plymouth and janine in look east, thank you very much. that is nationwide. if you would like to see more on any of those stories, you can access them via the bbc iplayer. a reminder we go nationwide every weekday afternoon at 4:30pm here on afternoon live. the green party has announced it's new leadership team following an internal election over the summer. sian berry is tojoin jonathan bartley as co—leader of the party, replacing caroline lucas, who is to continue as the party's sole mp. the leaders will oversee a party with elected politicians in the european parliament and in local authorities

across the country. our political correspondent chris mason is at westminster. parliament is back, a real sense are back to school here at westminster. and the green party of england and wales, a new leadership team. sian berry and jonathan bartley taking over. what is different with the greens with you two as the leaders, as opposed to how it has been in the past? i am exciting to be taking over a buoyant party. we had the best of a local election results and we have more councillors than ever before on more councils. where we have them they are doing fantastic work, representing our policies and they are the strongest voice of opposition. people are seeing the role the greens have in politics and feeling confident to vote for us. that will be my plan, over the next two years to take us further up onto the next level in of representation.

what do you say to the viewer who says, oki what do you say to the viewer who says, ok i am aware of the green party and the green i can remember is caroline lucas. she is in the house of commons is dead, shouldn't the most prominent and famous voice be the leader? we want to see a whole range of voices and one of the platforms we stood on in the selection was to get the voices out there. the lord mayor ofjeff fielding is connecting with a whole new audience and no political audience has ever connected like that before. we want people to be coming to us on every issue because the country needs to hear this. how does this model of working together work? as a party, you have a referendum internally about whether to have more than one reader or a single leader? at the time the decision was a single reader because it would be clear who the figurehead was. how does it work on a personal level? i guess you will find out? constitutionally there has always

been the option to have two leaders. with caroline and jonathan standing as co—leaders, it was the first time as co—leaders, it was the first time a team that themselves forward. the digital how it works. caroline is in parliament and jonathan has been out around the country. i have a similar timetable to caroline lucas in terms of meetings, motions and speaking. but we have time to go out around the country as well. jonathan has been elected of the leader of a much largergroup on been elected of the leader of a much larger group on lambeth council. and we wouldn't do this job singularly, we wouldn't do this job singularly, we can share the job share, the work of going round and inspiring local parties around the country whilst also doing ourjobs in london. that is how it works in business, it is how it works in civil service, high up how it works in civil service, high up in many organisations you see job sharing. the beauty of it is jonathan and caroline have made it work so well it feels normal to be introducing two new leaders of the greens. what happens if you have a

blazing row, or less flippantly, you cannot agree on everything, so what happens if there are genuine disagreements potentially over policy, strategy or direction? our party is unique and policies are made by members said the leaders jobs are to go out there and speak about the policy. having done it over two years and the biggest disagreement we have had is whether i should wear a tie the knot. i won. thank you both, we appreciate it and thejoint co—leaders of thank you both, we appreciate it and the joint co—leaders of the green party of england and wales and unique in having two of them at the helm as we head into this new political season. business headlines in a moment, but first let's get the headlines on afternoon live: decision day for labour: the party's national executive meets to decide whether to accept in full an international definition of anti—semitism. the chief executive of tsb, paul pester, has stepped down in the wake of a major it failure that left customers locked out of their accounts. people over 30 are being urged
