time, a foreign couple of hours at a time, for great movies, and so there's something about having a piece of that fantasy that you can hold in your hand, it's magic. some of the money raised will go to charity and the rest to the owners who have donated their prized possessions. a free preview of the exhibition is open to the public from today. the auction is held on the 20th of september with bidders hoping the force will be with them. lauren moss, bbc news. iwan i think most of us moss, bbc news. iwan i think most of us will just moss, bbc news. iwan i think most of us willjust be looking! now the weather with sarah keith—lucas. an autumnal mix out there, there is some sunshine around. this is the scene in dorset, the crowds have gone back to school and work and there's an empty beach, blue skies and sunshine. there is more cloud working in on the weather front, slipping south across the southern half of the country, so you see the rain on the radar, cloud on the satellite image across parts of england and wales, soak a different picture in wales, we've got more low cloud and outbreaks of drizzly rain.

heading through the rest of the afternoon, that band of cloud and rain will continue to push a bit further southwards and eastwards through central parts of england and wales. to the north of that, sunny skies, fairly cool with some blustery showers, but the south, a bit of sunshine particularly across parts of kent and norfolk. more cloud and patchy rain for the rest of southern england, wales, lincolnshire. a return to sunny skies for north wales in northern england and northern ireland. still a scattering of fairly light showers. full scotland the showers will be more frequent and they could be quite heavy at times, although we'll be hit and miss some of the showers in scotland could bring hail wa nted showers in scotland could bring hail wanted thunderstorm mixed in. the showers in the north fade away for a time through this evening and night. the rain clears away from southern and eastern england. most of us, clear, dry and fairly chilly tonight. later in the night, more rain works in across north—east england and eastern and northern parts of scotland. there could be heavy bursts of rain. elsewhere,

after the chilly start friday morning, it's looking like a mostly dry day. a bit of sunshine breaking through at times. the rain clearing slowly from the north—east of england, could linger for the northern isles of scotland for a time. a bit of a breeze coming in from the west or north west. that will take the edge off the temperatures. for most places it will be a degree of two warmer than today, particularly in the north, up today, particularly in the north, up to 17 orso, today, particularly in the north, up to 17 or so, 19—20 further south. through friday night and into the start of the weekend, the first area of low pressure klister the east and the next weather front works in from the next weather front works in from the atlantic. that will bring quite a soggy the atlantic. that will bring quite a soggy saturday across much of england and wales. the far south could hold onto dry, reasonably warm weather for much of the day. for scotland, northern england and northern ireland, we will see some sunshine breaking through but for most sunshine breaking through but for m ost pla ces sunshine breaking through but for most places sunday is set to be the better day of the weekend. a little bit drier and brighter, still a few showers on the cards and it looks like it will be that bit warmer than saturday, around 16—18 in the north,

further south we could see highs up to around 22 degrees or so. a bit of a mixed bag. we should see sunshine at least for one day through the weekend. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime. an inquest into the death of a toddler in manchester, who'd waited days for urgent surgery, has found "gross failure" in his care. that's all from the bbc news at one. it's goodbye from me. on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. good afternoon. i'm ben croucher with your latest from the bbc sport centre. england have named an unchanged team to face india in the fifth and final test at the oval tomorrow. jonny bairstow, who madejust six runs in southampton, retains his spot and will keep wicket again having recovered from a fractured finger. jos buttler took the gloves last week. alastair cook will retire after the match, his 161st test. moeen ali will continue at three

with captainjoe root batting at his preferred numberfour. the heat and humidity has caused many players problems at this year's us open and two—time winner novak djokovic has called on organisers to do more to help players after reaching the semi finals. he beatjohn millman in straight sets but both players struggled with the heat and lack of fresh air at court level. millman at one stage even had to change his shorts they were so sweaty. djokovic said he needed to pack 10 t—shirts to get through the match. i asked whether they were using ventilation at court level side and he says he was not aware of it. this tournament needs to address this. it feels like a sauna. rory mcilroy has backed the decision to include sergio garcia in europe's ryder cup team, saying the out—of—form—spaniard does things that people don't see,

which means he has to be picked. garcia has missed the cut at all four majors this year but captain thomas bjorn described him as the heartbeat of the team. of course, his inclusion means the likes of matt wallace and rafa cabrera bello missed out. it was not an easy decision because so many guys have played well and tried hard and put every effort into it. they deserved that we sit down and consider them and take everything into account. but in the end, this was the decision that was reached. and yes, making those phone calls to those four was easy but it was tough to make the phone calls to the ones that missed out. wales will be out to avenge last year's world cup qualifying defeat to the republic of ireland when the two meet in cardiff in the opening uefa

nations league match tonight. ireland's 1—0 win extinguished wales' hopes of reaching the world cup. it was also chris coleman's last game in charge and his replacement ryan giggs will face familiar opposition for his first game. we know what we're up against. we're up against a team who is going to work hard, make it difficult for us. so, proud moment for me. can't wait. just like as a player, the build—up to it. yeah, you've got to do it, but really you can't wait for the game to come. two—time super bowl winner osi umenyiora says colin kaepernick will go down in history alongside muhammad ali for taking a stand over his beliefs. kaepernick was the first nfl player to kneel during the national anthem to highlight racial injustice. the us president donald trump is among those to criticise his actions but umenyiora believes kaepernick will be revered. and the handsome pro—breast you have people who understand what it is about. you have people who do not care. they see athletes who are

supposed to be making millions of dollars taking the need. he has done an incredible thing. they might be able to make money off of it but regardless they are taking a stand and when history looks back they are going to bejudged on the right side of history. and you can see more of that interview with osi umenyiora and jason bell in sportsday, tonight at 6:30pm on bbc news. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. the world's largest off—shore wind farm officially opens off the coast of cumbria today. the £1 billion walney facility covers an area equal to 20,000 football pitches and has enough power for 600,000 homes. our business correspondent ben thompson has been to take a look. it isa it is a big day. they are opening

the world's largest offshore wind farm. this is a blade that goes on one of the turbines. this is a smaller one, it is about five metres long. the bigger ones can fit a double—decker bus inside. the project is the size of 20,000 football pitches. it will generate enough powerfor 600,000 football pitches. it will generate enough power for 600,000 homes. football pitches. it will generate enough powerfor 600,000 homes. how does it work? i have been finding out. growing investment in recent years has made the uk a world leader in wind technology. last year, wind provided 15% of britain's electricity, more than from coal. the walney extension wind farm covers 145 square kilometres. it took engineers nearly three years to build it and it's already generating enough powerfor half a million homes. in total, there are 87 turbines, the biggest is 194 metres tall. that is taller than the blackpool tower, or 98 times higher than me.

i have two people who can explain what that might mean. how important are renewables in terms of where we get our energy from? are projects like this making a difference? yes. by 2030 offshore wind will be doing a flood of electricity generation. you mentioned the size of the blade. it is also one of the uk's biggest infrastructure projects. the renewables sector is bigger than housing, water and hs2. huge investment. i wonder what difference that makes to targets. we hear about reducing reliance on traditional energy sources and more renewables including solar and wind. are we going to meet those targets?

definitely significant contribution to reducing co2 emissions by 80% by 2050. the renewables sector is going to play a major role as announced by today's investment. it is important to ensure when we look at the long—term energy mix we look at the entire picture, combining energy offshore with pv and nuclear to make sure that there is a stable base to ensure energy security in the future. pv is solar. the problem many people will raise is the idea of how sustainable it is in terms of constant generation. there are ups and downs in wind. is it reliable? we are going to want to do more of it because it is the cheapest form of power we have.

a lot of cost reduction has come from being more efficient, we are generating more power with the turbines. the national grid is not worried about running the grid and the projections we are looking at are 60% or more variables on the grid. it will be mixed but storage is going to help. last year turbines were on 75% of the time and we powered this country through the beast of the east. what will the future look like? are we going to see more of these wind turbines popping up in oceans and on hillsides? there is huge possibility that there will be more of these offshore wind farms popping up across important seas like the irish sea because it is really efficient and over the longer term the cost is going to come down. another type of target to meet sustainable growth, so in future we are going to use more electric vehicles, using more electricity in some

of the things that we do, smart cities, energy storage, this will rely on renewable energy source in the supply chain and ensuring it is not just at the use phase it is sustainable but throughout the entire supply chain. that is the take on what the future would look like. many more of these sort of things in our seas around the uk. shallow waters, lots of wind, great places to put these things. the danger we might rely on it a bit too much if it is not going to get us through some of the peaks and troughs but as the cost of these things comes down, the cost of installing, we are likely to see more power comes from renewable sources. professor damejocelyn bell burnell, one of the uk's leading female astronomers, has said

she will donate £2.3 million worth of winnings from a science prize to fund women, under—represented ethnic minoroties and refugee students to become physics researchers. damejocelyn, who was awarded a breakthrough prize for the discovery of radio pulsars, said she believes that under—represented groups will bring new ideas to the field. she told the bbc: "i don't want or need the money myself and it seemed to me that this was perhaps the best use i could put to it." a short while ago, my colleague anita mcveigh spoke to dr anne—marie imafidon, co—founder of stemettes, and discussed dame jocelyn's early career. she was very instrumental in discovering pulsars, which has been foundation in the exploration of space. she was a phd student at cambridge at the time under the people who were going to take credit and won the nobel prize in the 70s.

she is such an inspirational person. she is such an inspirational person. she has done so much. she has lived beyond that time she was passed over. it is interesting. headliners that she missed out on the nobel prize but she has more than being given awards to make up for it. she says it was a good thing because then she has won so many other awards and this latest prize, £2.3 million she is going to give so that other people can get into careers in science, what difference is like going to make? she has had the last laugh because that is bigger than the nobel prize fund. it will make a difference to underrepresented groups feeling that physics is the place they can be and a phd is an option for them. it is notjust financial support but moral support, sending the message we want different types of people doing physics and we can have different

types of people doing physics. she is famously from the north—west and is famously from the north—west and is also a woman, she said she felt like an outsider. born in county armagh. she moved around. tell us how you got into science and why you set up this organisation.|j how you got into science and why you set up this organisation. i have a lwa ys set up this organisation. i have always been interested in maths and technology and it is creative and logical. i loved being able to make things based on rules and logic and seeing how a vcr works and if you put things the maybe it would work a different way. it is something i have always loved but i did not really notice growing up i was the only girl often in the environments where i was doing maths or science oi’ where i was doing maths or science or technology. this was borne out of wanting other girls and young women to be able to feel confidence in their abilities and also fill it with someone they belonged. you said

you did not notice you were the only girl doing maths. some girls do. that is perhaps not the most welcome environment for them to be in awe they may feel awkward. the idea is to create the environment where this is entirely the done thing. yes, we can create safe spaces for girls to feel at home. there is free food and it is fine and they can explore and meet people who work in the industry and see that even if they are the only one in their physics class or the only one in the science class they are not the only one in the world doing this. it is a community for them to tap into and also to get inspired and make those connections. if they had not already heard about her beer are going to look up. if they had not already heard about her beer are going to look uplj if they had not already heard about her beer are going to look up. i am waiting for the movie. when she goes to hollywood. let's get more on the anonymous column

in the new york times — allegedly by a senior trump administration official — who has described efforts to thwart parts of president donald trump's agenda. us secretary of state mike pompeo — questioned byjournalists on a visit to new delhi — criticised the report, and said he had nothing to do with it. were you the author? it's chewed not surprise anyone that the new york times, a liberal newspaper that has attacked this administration relentlessly, to print such a piece. if that peace is true, if it is accurate, if it is actually a senior official, they should not well have chosen to take a disgruntled deceptive bad actor's word for anything and put it in their

newspaper. it is sad more than anything else. that our nation has come to where... if it is what it is reported to be it is sad that you would have someone who would make that choice. i come from a place where if you are not in a position you have a singular option, to leave. this person instead according to the new york times chose not only to the new york times chose not only to stay but to undermine what president trump and this administration are trying to do, and i find the media's efforts in this regard to undermine this administration incredibly disturbing. ireland so your other question directly. —— i will answer. idid not question directly. —— i will answer. i did not write the article. an inquest into the death of a toddler in manchester,

who'd waited days for urgent surgery has found "gross failure" in his care. the two men britain says were behind the salisbury nerve agent attacks, this afternoon the un security council will discuss the international arrest warrants. donald trump's described as amoral and reckless by one of his own officials who says he's working to protect the country from the president's "worst inclinations". an energy bill price cap of £1,136 a yearfor "typical usage" has been proposed by the energy regulator, ofgem. it says the move will mean 11 million households on default deals will save about £75 on average, although the amount households could save will depend on their usage and supplier. we'll have market reaction to the news shortly. how many people have problem debt? according to the national audit office, it could be as many

as 8.3 million and about a tenth of those may suffer mental health problems as a result. it says the government's failure to tackle problem debt is costing millions. british luxury goods maker burberry will stop the practice of burning unsold goods, with immediate effect. injuly, an earnings report revealed the company had destroyed unsold clothes, accessories and perfume worth £29 million in 2017 to protect its brand. it will also stop using real fur. an energy bill price cap of £1,136 a year for "typical usage" has been proposed by the regulator, ofgem. it says the move will mean 11 million households on default deals will save about £75 on average, but how have the energy firms reacted? energy uk is the industry body which represents gas and electricity firms. its boss has warned that the cap "will pose a significant challenge" for the more than 70 suppliers

operating in the domestic energy market. and on the markets energy stocks are broadly in positive territory. earlier we spoke to michael hewson, chief market analyst at cmc markets. a great plank of uncertainty has been removed. three years ago centrica's price was double the price it was now. concerns about this price cap have been weighing on the share price of these energy companies and this has removed that uncertainty, government plan to you on the future margins, what they are likely to be, and much more certainty about future investment plans because they know exactly what their margins are going to be going forward. over eight million people in this country are struggling with debt, and increasingly that debt is not on things like credit cards and overdrafts.

it's to government bodies, councils and utilities. the national audit office has released a report saying the government is managing theese problem debts in a way that only makes them worse, using intimidating debt collection techniques and ratcheting up penalty charges. this ends up costing the tax payer in two ways. first it makes it more likely the debtors will end up in social housing. that's a cost of about £225 million. second it creates anxiety and depression and even mental health problems. the nao thinks this adds £24 million to the nhs costs. third there are the wider costs of mental health issues — lostjobs, or salaries, informal care, the increased use of public services. add it all together and the total cost to the economy: £900 million. jane tully, money advice trust, the charity that runs national debtline, is here.

you have seen the kind of effects that problem debt creates. yes. over the past few years there has been a significant increase in the number of people contacting us with debts on energy, council tax, water. every day living costs. a reduction in the numbers of bebop contacting us with debts on consumer credit and traditional debt. we always thought the bad guys were the payday lenders, the loan sharks, loan sharks are still the bad guys, but it is the government, government bodies, councils, who are useless at dealing with this. yes. research last year showed that local authorities had third 2.1 million debts to be less in the previous year. our concern is that government are too quick, public bodies can be

far too quick to take enforcement action that can have an impact on people's lives. why are they doing this? contacting bailiffs, that is what you do, what else can you do? there's a range of mechanisms that local authorities or other public can look at. hmrc have been defined as being worse than class previously but actually they can look at affordability plans and other mechanisms people confined to read the and very often we are talking about people who are very vulnerable a nyway about people who are very vulnerable anyway and who will already be on registers where public bodies should be aware they are people in financial difficulty. the report is interesting, a lot of it comes down to coordination, getting everybody singing from the same hymn sheet and doing the same thing. is it an administrative problem ? doing the same thing. is it an administrative problem? one of the

issues we have a spare is not effective government oversight on accountability of all of the debts that people have. we have very good data, good insight, good information, to shape policy when it comes to debts that the leap to financial services and we have seen that the sum of the changes that to be made in recent years and the payday lending sector and also more generally on high—cost credit products but we do not necessarily have access to that data and the government does not have the full picture in terms of the problems that households are facing. we see people come to us with five or six different debts on different types of products we understand what the person is dealing with the government need to understand as well. easyjet reported a 5.6% rise in passengers in august compared to the same month last year. the chief executive of the airline also said that it is still in talks with the alitalia's short—haul operations but said a deal needs to make commercial sense.

the dollar is generally looking quite strong. a lot of emerging markets' currencies being abandoned. the dollar is seen as a safe haven, the biggest currency in the world. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith—lucas. temperatures have been cooler across the northern half of the country so feeling quite autumnal and fresh out there. further south holding on to warmer weather particularly along the south coast. blue skies and sunshine in dorset. it will not last
