today at 5: britain's most senior police officer hit out at the pay award decided by ministers and at the level of spending cuts. cressida dick of the metropolitan police spoke after ministers rejected the official pay recommendation, and as forces struggle with budget cuts. i don't want the government to wait for the police to be struggling, like the prison service, with chronic understaffing. but the home secretary, speaking at the same conference, said he would fight for resources within government. i will continue to fight on the police's behalf, so that you have the resources you need to do your job effectively. we'll be talking to a police and crime commissioner about the reality in their region. the other main stories on bbc news at 5: at the inquest following the westminster bridge terror attack — how american tourist kurt cochran pushed his wife out of the way , moments before he lost his life. as leading brexiteers gather to set out their plans,

the boss of jaguar land rover warns a bad deal could result in the loss of tens of thousands ofjobs in the uk. more than a million people in south carolina, north carolina and virginia, are ordered to leave their homes, as hurricane florence is predicted to make landfall in the next 48 hours. and, the inspirational story of henry fraser, left paralysed as a teenager after an accident, now, a succesful painter, and author of a best—selling memoir. it's 5 o'clock. our main story is that britain's most senior police officer has criticised the government's refusal to recommend a 3 % pay rise for officers in england and wales. ministers have approved

a 2% increase instead, rejecting the view of an independent pay review body. the metropolitan police commissioner cressida dick told the police superintendants' association annual conference it was disappointing. but the home secretary, addressing the same conference, said he fully recognised the pressures police were under following a report by the national audit office, suggesting that forces in england and wales were cutting staff to save money. our home affairs correspondent danny shaw has the latest. what do our cops cost and do they provide value for money? important questions, but ones the home office is struggling to answer. that's the main finding from a report by experts who examine public spending, the national audit office. the report on police finances says the home office is spending £8.6 billion on the police service this year, but it says there are significant gaps in the department's understanding of costs and demand, and it criticises

the home office for relying on a formula for funding forces which is ineffective and detached from the changing nature of policing. the funding formula that they have used to allocate money is out of date. the home office told parliament in 2015 that the formula was ineffective. here we are three years later, there hasn't been an update of that formula and so it's unlikely that the money is going to the right places. the report says since 2010, when budgets were cut, police have carried out less proactive work, like breathalyser tests. it says there are fewer arrests and it's taking longer to charge suspects. they are saying there are a number of forces that are now really, i think the euphemism is stretched, in terms of their viability. my interpretation of that is, if we carry on as we have done for the last five years, we will start to see more forces start to really degrade their ability to serve the public, in terms of keeping them and protecting them from harm.

the home office says it has provided extra funding for policing this year and is entering a critical phase of negotiations with the treasury to secure more money. i will continue to fight on the police's half so that you have the resources you need to do yourjob effectively. new officers are being recruited but the leader of britain's biggest force says that's a struggle, partly because the government refused to accept an independent panel's recommendation on pay. i'm sorry to say i do think that decision will have affected morale and will affect recruitment and will perhaps affect retention. we'll have more reaction to that and we will speak to some guests later in the programme. the inquests into the deaths of 5 people killed in the westminster terror attack last year, has heard how an american tourist saved his wife, by pushing her out of the path of the vehicle, driven by khalid massood.

kurt and melissa cochran had only been in london for two hours before masood launched his attack last march. kurt was killed but his wife survived. our correspondent, helena lee, is at the old bailey. to date, we heard evidence from people who are on the bridge who saw kurt cochran being hurt by khalid massood's car. one eyewitness who was giving evidence broke down in tea rs was giving evidence broke down in tears as she recalled the moment of the impact. his widow, who was badly injured, but survived the attack, also gave evidence into the inquest into her husband's death. this morning, melissa cochran came to court to tell the hearing how she and her husband's trip to london ended after just two and a half hours. she and kurt cochran, the first victim of the attack, had been visiting from america. from the witness, box she told the court she remembers the car

being driven by khalid masood approaching them, and then being on the ground. her husband had pushed her to safety. she told the court she doesn't remember him doing that, but it was typical of him. kylie smith, a teacher, also gave evidence. she'd been in london with some students and was on the bridge when the attack happened. in tears, she told the court how she remembers seeing the american couple holding hands beforehand. then, she said... there was chaos and panic after, she said. three others on the bridge died as khalid masood drove into them over westminster bridge. he then got out and stabbed pc keith palmer, who died at the scene. the inquest will hear further evidence into kurt cochran‘s death,

before hearing the inquests into the four other victims. the inquest into a window cleaner who was 75 years old was opened here today. also, a doctor who was on the bridge at the time of the attack gave evidence and he went over to try and treat the window cleaner. it was a touching moment at the end of that evidence, he publicly thanked the family for inviting him to the funeral and it was a privilege to attend. the hearing continues tomorrow. the boss of jaguar land rover has warned theresa may that a "hard brexit" will wipe out his company's profits, resulting in the loss of tens of thousands of jobs. dr ralf speth described the prospect

of a cliff—edge break with the eu as "horrifying". brexit... shops have been shut when they should have been created. 1000 lost as a result of policy. and those numbers will be counted in the tens of thousands if we do not get the right brexit deal. our chief political correspondent vicki young is at westminster. well that go down as scaremongering? how that be received in westminster and downing street? it's not a new warning. the difference is the timing, we are one week away from theresa may going to austria for the eu summit, the first chance for eu leaders to sit down and assess her plan. downing street said that they

have come up with this plan, but at the idea of coming to goods, the uk will stick to the eu rule book. downing street say that is the best and only workable option on the table. of course, that is not how it is seen by many in her party. today, the leading brexiteers got together to launch a document giving an alternative view to all of that, saying they do feel that we should carry on negotiating a withdrawal deal, get a transition period, but then think about a free trade agreement. if that were to happen, they say there is nothing to fear from a hard brexit, going to world trade organisation rules. the plan is that we should negotiate the canada plus deal now, which is being offered by the eu and which has been offered from an early stage, but recognise that leaving on a world trade basis is a perfectly reasonable thing to do. the key to our negotiating strength is to know that the alternative is something that is good rather than bad. so, once you've established that, you can negotiate with much greater confidence.

they've released this document which claims that over the longer term, gdp from the uk it would be 8% higher. that households would be better off and boris johnson, higher. that households would be better off and borisjohnson, who resigned in protest at the chequers plan, once again used that meeting as an opportunity to cut to size theresa may's ideas. he said that these were worse than the normal for these were worse than the normal for the british, they would have to stick to the eu rules and have no say. swiftly, this document was criticised by many, saying they were really making too many claims and there was little truth in it. i'm sure his model is very effective but the assumptions that he makes are wildly out of line with assumptions that are used by other economic modellers and frankly, i believe, are not sustainable. downing street insists that it is

their plan, it is the only alternative. tomorrow, we will hear from the brexiteers once again as they come up with their alternative ideas on the northern ireland question, that huge sticking point thatis question, that huge sticking point that is still at brussels. the idea ofa that is still at brussels. the idea of a backstop, how you stop there being a border between northern ireland and the rest of the united kingdom. this meeting of the leading brexiteers, do we know more about this? what was the atmosphere there are? such aye it's interesting, they've been accused of being negative of theresa may's plans. this was their chance to do that. there weren't all there, boris johnson made a surprise appearance, sitting at the front. he was

applauded. he resigned his position because of his opposition to all of this. they are trying to say, we have an alternative. they have accepted that they haven't done enough to counter that augment of the world trade organisation rules. they're trying to get rid of the fear of all that because of help negotiations. people think it will be ok. the warnings from the head of jaguar land rover fly in the face of that. he says it there has to be a good dealfor britain. some of those images are more cheerful than others. thank you very much. that go live to newcastle to speak about this police story. thank

you for coming to talk to us, we spoke recently. on two france, on pay and on resources we will begin at. let's speak about pay first of all, the kind that you're seeing in your region and elsewhere. how much ofan your region and elsewhere. how much of an understatement was this disappointment? it is a significant understatement. was paid, you have to consider living standards and what is happening. you also have to consider morale amongst police officers and staff. these staff are dealing with harrowing cases and need to feel fully supported. they need to feel fully supported. they need to feel that their needs are being met. these police officers are being met. these police officers are being let down by the home office. the home secretary today said, i've listen to what's been said and i've seen what the national audit has to say and i will fight for resources within government. to what extent

can he do that, given the parameters set in place by the treasury? he must do so. it is something of a help that the home secretary's brother is a police officer. he must be getting some fuller understanding that has been available to other ministers about the impact of that. it is also very clear from the national audit commission ‘s report how blindly cuts are being applied to the police force. they write as data not being fully understood, they speak of the home office not understanding demand on police. how are you to find something if you don't understand it's demand? if you don't understand it's demand? if you do not appear to have any way of understanding, at what level they force simply becomes an sustainable —— unsustainable. it is being made

very clear that some forces have suffered for no reason, in a sense that demands aren't understood, sustainability is not understood, they don't take into account efficiency. northumbria who gets goodin efficiency. northumbria who gets good in its inspections, my force has lost 25% of its funding. my colleague in surrey, a much more affluent place, has only lost ii%. they're feeling those cuts as well and there is no rhyme nor reason to justify that. in your area, is it true that there are crimes, or potential crimes, not being examined oi’ potential crimes, not being examined or investigated. in different economic circumstances these would be? the fact is that 8596 of police funding in every force has to go on people. if, in our case, we now have 3500 officers, we have lost 900 officers. we have lost more than

1000 police staff. you can see the proportions. it is quite clear that what used to be done and cannot continue to be done. we have done also had of closing front offices, we've sold properties, we've bought small and cheap leases in shop fronts so that officers can be where people want to see them. there is nowhere else to go. it is about people and it has been about cutting people and it has been about cutting people for two years. this is the seventh successive year that these cuts, now described in a damning way, as without the understanding that underpins them. crime is turning and is going up and in addition, let's not worry about a crime wave, but let's consider terrorism, things that are now reported to the police that went

before. trafficking and modern slavery, domestic abuse, sexual expectation of children, we've never spoken of these hidden crimes. now these are all reported and it is extra work for underpaid officers with low morale. it is irrespective of this is an efficient force, a good force or what. it is not measured in any way. it is troubling and it simple has to stop. the home office asked to start thinking in a positive way what funding to the police now need to catch up with these disastrous over strong cuts. in the us, a million people have been ordered to leave their homes in south carolina, as hurricane florence, a category 4 storm, heads towards the coast. it currently has sustained wind speeds of 140 miles an hour, and is expected to make landfall on thursday. our correspondent richard lister has the latest. it could be the most powerful

storm to hit the eastern usa in three decades. this footage of hurricane florence, ta ken over several hours, shows winds of up to 141mph. meteorologists are keeping a close watch on it from the sky, as evacuations are ordered on the ground. we got the hurricane and the surge which may be as high as 10 feet, maybe more, maybe less, we don't know, coming out of the ocean, and after that we have water coming down, flooding us. so we're in for a real episode here. more than a million people along the coast of the carolinas have been told to leave their homes. the outer banks, a chain of low lying islands, are particularly vulnerable. everyone here has been ordered out. people don't understand that when they say it's time to evacuate, there's no emergency services, the restaurants are closed, there's nothing else open, you need to go back and get back to the mainland so you've got some comforts. before they go, they do what they can to ensure their home

or business survives the hurricane. see what happens, and hopefully we have a business to come back to. the us navy, too, is making a tactical retreat. around 30 ships stationed on the virginia coast have been ordered out to sea. it's thought they'll have a better chance of avoiding damage by riding out the storm there. even those communities not directly in the storm's path are being told to take precautions. north carolina is taking hurricane florence seriously, and you should too. get ready, now. and around the region, they're doing just that. there have been long lines as people stock up on propane and petrol, braced for the prospect of power cuts. i want to make sure my car is full of gas, but i also want to make sure i have enough for our generator. grocery stores too have had a busy week, as people prepare for what could be many days of disruption. the forecast models are suggesting

that the storm will slow down and meander around in place, and that is a recipe for an inland flooding disaster, much like what we saw with hurricane harvey in texas. the hurricane won't make landfall until thursday, but already the atlantic surf is up, and there are two more storms behind florence, also heading west. richard lister, bbc news. joining me now from wrightsville beach on north carolina's coastline is cbs reporter, mola lenghi. what are the kind of preparations being made locally as the storms approach? with all across the board as far as preparations go. we are talking about counties, city, state, federal preparations. and also individuals who are ticking fabric into their own hands, boarding up

their homes and businesses, selling up their homes and businesses, selling up gas tanks on their way out, if they can find a gas station that is open or still has fuelled. obviously, stocking up on grocery items. there are things that the federal government, the state and local governments are doing and also, people are ticking things into their own hands. mainly, people be leave seem to be heating, a lot of people are getting out of town of mandatory evacuations. even some committees you have voluntary evacuations that may eventually lead to mandatory evacuations might even some of these voluntary evacuations, people are not risking it and are getting out of town, wanting to beat the traffic and go to a safer location further away from here. behind me, this is wrightsville beach. in the distance, there are a

handful of people, the beaches are empty. this is not the busiest time of the year, but it is the second season, right after peak season. people who don't want to deal with the crowds of summer come and enjoy the crowds of summer come and enjoy the beach at this time. but no body is out here and this is usually a very popular september, october destination. mac most of the people are either boarding up, getting ready or they've already got out of town. thank you for the update. labour are promising to give more rights to workers in the so—called ‘gig economy'. in a speech to the tuc conference in manchester, the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, said casual staff should be eligible for sick pay, maternity leave and other benefits. will extend full rights to all workers. that includes so—called limb—b workers, entitling everyone

to sick pay, maternity rights and the right against unfair dismissal, and that will be from day one. third, we will properly resourced hmrc. and yes, we will find employers who break the rules so that people get the rights they are entitled to. and i say employers when they know this, they continue to employ legal loopholes or weak enforcement to duck their responsibilities, we will close those legal loopholes and we will strengthen enforcement and we will work alongside the tuc to do that. when technology creates new employment relations, yes we will extend regulation to keep pace with your advice in our ears. and when the power shifts dramatically away from workers, as it has done today, it's time for us to tip it back in the direction of the workers. let's go live to the conference in

manchester. ‘s it is fair to say that this sector pledges byjohn mcdonnell is far reaching. what is its significance? he was very much felt like a practice run for a speech thatjohn mcdonnell is drafting for a couple of weeks' time, the labour party conference. he was setting out an economic plan for a labour government. he says they are very much a government in waiting, expecting there to be an election in the nearfuture. he's putting together a plan for what will happen within the economy and theissues will happen within the economy and the issues that he thinks are key to tackle in that process. to the delight of the audience here in manchester, he said that unions will be at the heart of that labour government. he said section of trade union rights is a key factor within that. the also heard in that clip that. the also heard in that clip that protection of workers who are particularly vulnerable in the

economy, those on zero—hours contracts, those who are just working from contract to contract. firstly, he said that workers should have rights from day one in a job, no matter what type of contract, eve ryo ne no matter what type of contract, everyone should have the same rights. he also said that people should be automatically classed as a worker. that is a legal technicality that we've seen over the last few months tonic we seen cases come to the courts of different employers fighting over whether summary is a contractor or a worker and what their rights mean for that. john mcdonnell said everyone should be on a level playing field. the director general of the bbc, tony hall, says some big name stars like chris evans have quit to move to commercial broadcasters, partly because their salaries have been published. lord hall was appearing before a committee of mps. he also said free tv licences for the over—75s would be reviewed. speaking about the bbc‘s coverage of the police raid on the home

of sir cliff richard, he said he felt it had been over the top. i think their own two issues at the heart here, which i am sure you are thinking of, too. one is the nature of the coverage and my own view on that is, asjudge mann said, this was a proper case... we reported accurately what happened. but my own view is we overdid it. i think the helicopter was overdoing it. my own judgment, and judgment on hindsight is always a very fine thing, is that there was something to report but down the bulletin. memorial events have been taking place in new york and in washington to mark the 17th anniversary of the septermber11th attacks.

ceremonies have been held at the 9/11 memorial plaza on the world trade center site in new york, and at the pentagon in washington. more than 3000 people died in the co—ordinated attacks involving four planes in 2001. president trump spoke at the tower of voices memorial in shankville, pennsylvania, where another plane , united airlines flight 93, crashed that september morning, killing a0 passengers. the president said america would not "submit to tyranny". a piece of america's heart is buried on these grounds. but in its place has grown a new resolve to live our lives with the same grace and courage as those of flight 93. this memorial is now a message to the world — america will never, never

submit to tyranny. let's look at the headlines in a moment and we will have a recap on the sports news. a narrow strip of cloud from south—west england into east anglia. in the far south—east, a few mac sunny spells. the wet weather will drift in from the west. overnight, some heavy burst of showers into wales. clear spells in scotland and northern ireland, showers continuing in the north—west and a gusty wind. where it is clear, single figure

temperatures. weather is cloud and rain, double—figure temperature. the rain, double—figure temperature. the rain will push on three and clear eventually with sunnier skies. by the afternoon, many will be dry, the odd shower in north—west england. in northern ireland and western scotland, a few showers. average wind speeds here, not a blowy day, but still quite gusty in northern scotland. temperatures mid to high teens, but there will be a cooler and fresher feel in the southern england, compared to today. the home secretary speaking at the conference said he would be fighting for resources within government on the police ‘s behalf. for resources within government on the police 's behalf. the inquest has heard how he lost his life as he tried to save his wife. as leading brexiteers cover to set up their plans the boss of jaguar land rover has won that a bad deal could result

in the loss of tens of thousands of jobs in the uk. the governor of the bank of england is to stay into his position to try and ensure a smooth exit into the eu. more than 1 billion people are ordered to leave their homes as hurricane florence. at 531 we're going to catch up with all the sports news. england were left in frustrated. india were trailing 31 in the final match of the series. it was a really impressive display. no one has taken more wickets as a

pace bowler than he has. the final match of the series, england winning by 118 runs. a standing a patient for the england captain. it was his last test match before retiring. the match is being played. gareth southgate won't want that lost to be taken off that incredible performance, that incredible display

and there is a risk of that, isn't there? there is indeed. it would be an unwanted piece of history. england have lost three matches in a row for the first time in 30 years after a defeat by spain on saturday. is bringing friendly matches into cognitive football. here at leicester england going on the road, which could be sign of things to come. it should be a great atmosphere. a number of changes are expected in the line—up with harry came understood to be dropping down the bench. to their views for england. both of them play for leicester city so it could be quite an atmosphere for those two at their

home ground. gareth southgate is aware of what could happen if england lose tonight but he says that tonight is more about development. in the build-up to last summer we played brazil, brazil, germany, france, spain. it is more important that we invest in the team, improve the team, give these guys the experience they need to get better. i will have to live with whatever people want to say about my records and allegations and whatever else fits the bill. i am comfortable in my own skin in that regard. the pipe 2—mac prayer it is not me. in my own skin in that regard. the pipe 2-mac prayer it is not me. we are expecting a near full capacity stadium and we know that the atmosphere can be tremendous and will be even more so if harry maguire, one of the stars of the

world cup cop is here. he is to sign a new contract with leicester city as well. england on the road could generate a great atmosphere. we saw it when they went to leeds in a warm up it when they went to leeds in a warm up match. with wembley possibly being sold it could be a sign of things to come. the anti—discrimination charity in their... kick—off is at apm. camden park will remain the home of scottish football. there was an offer to move the matches to murrayfield. when the current lease i’u ns murrayfield. when the current lease runs out in 2020. it has been scotland's on for 112 years. in by scotland's on for 112 years. in rugby union, premiership club owners

say majority stake is not the preferred option as they discuss a multi—million pound offer to take over the league. they have offered £205 million for a 51% share. the deal would mean a much needed £17 million windfall for each premiership club. and the ship chairman ian ritchie has told the bbc that the unanimous view from directors and chief executives of clu bs a re directors and chief executives of clubs are open to investment but the majority control is not the preferred option. we will have plenty more for you in sports day at 630 pm. the latest figures rubbish by the

regulator nhs improvement cover the april tojune regulator nhs improvement cover the april to june period showing... regulator nhs improvement cover the april tojune period showing... that isa april tojune period showing... that is a shortage of nearly a0 2000. if we... overall overall, 9.2% of all health jobs in england were not filled, that's a shortage of nearly 108,000. danny mortimer, chief executive of nhs employers is here. a quick reminder to viewers. your responsibility? we represent the employee organisations in the english nhs. what do these figures today represent fight you question

mark had reality at a time when demand is rising? i think that is the key. they reflect the demand for health care is rising. there is a marked increase in attendances at amd in the spring rather than winter. we see far more patients waiting for treatment. the demand for clinical staff, particularly nursing staff, continues to grow. we are struggling to keep pace. the government is not being passive in terms of responding to that. we have seen increases in starting salaries, for example. we seek important changes in the way we manage migration into the country. but it ta kes a migration into the country. but it takes a long time to get those extra people. in the meantime, our staff are working really hard to keep pace with demand. in terms of those vacancies, with demand. in terms of those vacancies, nurses with demand. in terms of those vacancies, nurses fill 80% of those gaps. but that still puts pressure

on our existing staff which we are desperate to do something about. it has been announced that the investments will alleviate the pressure but it is a long hard road. do you think it is your take that the words of national emergency after words? i think if we weren't trying to do something about it i think they would be a fat characterisation. we have seen action on this year on pay and migration. we would like some flexibility to do more with apprenticeships. we would like better investment in some of our funding for continuing professional development. in terms of actually articulated the fact that this is a problem for us, that this is putting real pressure and real stress on our team, particularly on services like mental health, then yes, we

absolutely recognise that and as employees we want to work alongside government to do something about it. you mention migration. i'm going to ask the question rather directly. with people sitting in that seat saying i am less. less attracted to actively in the nhs because there have been changes. do you think the recent changes have some way to alleviate that? i think they have gone some way. we were facing and acute problem and the government did ta ke acute problem and the government did take action. we take some encouragement from that for what we need to do post brexit. if this is an indicator how about the government are going to manage hydration then i think it is a positive step. —— migration. our

supply of nurses from europe as effectively dried up. you see no sign of that changing in the interim? no. thanks to him for coming in. they're hailed as the future of cars, and a way to curb pollution in our cities and cut global warming. now the prime minister has promised £100 million for research into new batteries and low carbon technology. speaking at the uk's first zero emission vehicle summit, theresa may outlined her ambition to make every new vehicle sold to be electric with zero emissions by 20a0. tom burridge reports. dirty air is one of the big problems of our time. today a green vehicle summit in birmingham where the prime minister set out how she wants to get more of us to drive electric. minister set out how she wants to get more of us to drive electriclj wa nt get more of us to drive electric.” want to see britain once again leading from the front and working

with industries and countries around the world to spearhead change. that is why i have set this ambition. to put the uk at the forefront of design and manufacturing of he wrote the mission vehicles and for all new cars to be effectively zero emission by 2040. the engineers and scientists working to develop these vehicles are in a race. they need more government money and investment from industry because improving the technology offers huge economic rewards. if you buy one of these, about one third of the bug you goes ona about one third of the bug you goes on a crucial piece of technology. it is not the motor but what powers it, the battery. these robots at birmingham university are learning. they are artificial intelligence will allow them to take apart and electric car battery. those teaching

the robots are part of a team researching how electric car batteries could be safely be cycle. they argue pioneering science and engineering like this is crucial if britain is to lead the way. the manufacture of vehicles is one of the success stories of british industry over the last couple of decades. if we are not at the forefront of the transition and revolution that is about to happen, then those jobs and all the benefits of them could disappear. up to now virtually all of their funding has come from the european union. the industry wants guarantees that our government will be able to plug the 93p- government will be able to plug the gap. we must have real commitment to replace european funding in our... we have seen very valuable steps on the horizon. but this kind of industry requires serious investment in battery charging, in the new kind of technology that is going to drive these cars in the future. investment

funding in our universities must be there. going green means global solutions. today is a british pitch about how the government plans to be pa rt about how the government plans to be part ofan about how the government plans to be part of an electric revolution. a report which sets out the economic case for leaving the eu without an agreement on trade has found that the uk had "nothing to fear" from a "clean break" away from the european union. the economists for free trade report was read out before senior tory brexiteers including boris johnson and jacob rees—mogg. i would like to take on a couple of the points with chris morris. i noted the potential of £80 billion

gainfor noted the potential of £80 billion gain for the treasury if britain traded under wto rules. where does that 80 billion figure come from?m rests on a set of assumptions which, to be fair, many economists disagree with. one is there will be long—term gains from free trade at about a% of gdp. other models say very different lives. —— differently. the brexit study says things differently. the thing is they are convinced that their modelling is right and eve ryo ne their modelling is right and everyone else has got it wrong but there is no doubt they are in a minority because most economists believe that, because trade is likely to be cut in the event of a clea n likely to be cut in the event of a clean brexit or heart brexit, is that trade overall will suffer. saving money they said 12 billion

one year net which goes to the eu budget. if you look at the figures it is probably about 11 billion pounds. the financial settlement, we could pay almost non—or very little of that. theoretically you could do that but the report also says we wa nt to that but the report also says we want to look at the relationship with the eu in the future. you want to have a good relationship if you are going to refuse to pay the £39 billion which they think in which the government has agreed in interval is old on departure. maybe thatis interval is old on departure. maybe that is what they were agonising overin that is what they were agonising over in the meeting today. when we look at this. i think we all feel like that about brexit. this whole thing about frictionless trade, description at borders, it is so important for businesses and the economy. these seem to be played

about that. i think boris johnson made similar points in one of his recent articles that only about a% of non—eu goods coming in from the best of the world were actually subject to checks. that is pretty much correct, but there is another pa rt much correct, but there is another part of the story. if lorries come in from doverfrom part of the story. if lorries come in from dover from the part of the story. if lorries come in from doverfrom the eu a come straight true. if they coming from outside the eu many will not be checked but they do wait at dover. they wait between 60 and 19 minutes to decide if checks are going to ta ke to decide if checks are going to take place. the point of free flow of goods, that would be under threat. there is another problem by uk exporter. the uk could... some people think it wouldn't be a good

idea. the eu is not going to do that. if you wanted to export any products of animal origin, it has to do go through what is recognised as a vet in every border expections host. one big problem is that neither the eurotunnel or calais port at recognised post so that main funnel for all that stuff that flows across the eu every day would be closed off. yes, they are bright that perhaps fewer things take place then some people think, but the overall system is a lot more copper plated than reports suggest. —— compensated. the headlines. britain's most senior police officer as hit out at the level of public spending cuts. the inquest into the westminster bridge attack...

the boss of jaguar land rover has warned that tens of thousands ofjobs are at risk if the government fails to secure what he called the "right" brexit. wages grew faster than expected in the three months to july as they continue to outstrip inflation. official statistics show that pay excluding bonuses —— rose by 2.9 per cent during the period well above the 2.a per cent rate of inflation. unemployment has continued to fall and remains at its lowest level for over a0 yea rs as our economics correspondent andy verity reports. a lot of the concrete frames. we not

albanians working on here now. they tend to be decent european so in some instances when they leave it is very difficult to get the british workforce back onto the site. from the construction firm ‘s point of view the labour market is on fire. even though profits are tight they are to fight to keep workers with pay rises. mid-contract people come along waving a cheque book and we lose tradesmen. there is a lot of tradesmen working on a building contract. it is an old—fashioned business and keeping those people on site on a tight programme on tight margins, that is the challenge. here is what that pay rise looks like in pounds. that brings the average wage to £a89. before you get to excited

about the pay rise, put it in a spectre. he is is what has happened to wages over the last ten or 15 yea rs. to wages over the last ten or 15 years. like now they are not much higher than they were a long time ago. there has been a persistent puzzle white workers haven't been able to demand higher wages despite the fact that unemployment has falle n the fact that unemployment has fallen to its lowest since the mid—19 70s. we would expect wage growth to pick up more than it has done so far. the number of vacancies is ata 17 done so far. the number of vacancies is at a 17 year high with 1800 and 30,000 jobs advertised, especially in hotels investment. you sometimes may have to wait eight little longer to get served. two words — accept, and adapt. the two powerful watchwords, which helped henry fraser

develop a new philosophy of life, after he suffered a catastrophic injury at the age of 17, when he was left paralysed from the shoulders down. nine years on, he has established himself as a succesful painter, and has written a best—selling memoir to share his inspirational message that every day can be a good day. his book, now out in paperback, is called the little big things, and it's been translated into several languages. it is in now in paperback form. it is worth reading because it is simple and it is powerful. the best possible equation for any successful book and i am pleased to say henry is with me now. congratulations, henry. i am just wondering for viewers who are coming to this new, let's go back to what happened when you were 17. use of agent lee mack dreadful accident on a beach and you thought for a long time that you might get better in some way. yes.

my might get better in some way. yes. my time in hospital up until that one horrible day, i always had this thought that everything will be fine. i will walk out of the hospital when i am healthy and ready to. but it didn't work out that way. that's why i'd use that phrase. what was the point at which you could accept that life was not going to be the same again? the very first day i was put into a wheelchair. when i was put into a wheelchair. when i was first put in i was so happy to be up and around. i got to see all the bases in the hospital that my friends and family had been speaking about. i had been stuck in bed for two once. i went outside and when we we re two once. i went outside and when we were about to come into the main entrance of the hospital, i saw my production and it was the first time iti production and it was the first time it i had seen myself in two months.

the last time... whereas now there was this very thin... i had lost four stone. when i got back to my room ijust broke down. it was the first time i had ever questioned, why me? i just first time i had ever questioned, why me? ijust cried all day and wa nted why me? ijust cried all day and wanted to be able to have my mum. i couldn't even do that. i brothers came to see me. i was crying. my dad. i was crying. i was all cried out and felt everything i needed to feel. i thought to myself, there is no point being side of angry. i may as well just get no point being side of angry. i may as welljust get on with my life. it sounds a bit cliched but from that point i change my focus and try to look at things in a different way. it seemed to work for me. it is an

astonishing message. you went from being a superfit rugby player, enjoying life as any 17—year—old would—be to not been able to do anything like that and to try to accept it. lots of people the message you have got here, which is making every day a good day, coming from you is even more powerful. what is the basis for that message? what are you telling people who ask you, how can you say that? people always ask me, you must have down days. i have the same small frustrations eve ryo ne have the same small frustrations everyone else has that have nothing to do with my injury or disability or anything. i wake up each day, look around at all the things i have got. amazing family and friends. i wa ke got. amazing family and friends. i wake up and dojobs got. amazing family and friends. i wake up and do jobs that got. amazing family and friends. i wake up and dojobs that i got. amazing family and friends. i wake up and do jobs that i would really love to do. when i look at my life that way, i am looking. what do

i have two be down about? why should i feel i have two be down about? why should ifeel sad? i have two be down about? why should i feel sad? you have an amazing outlet for creative expression. painting. i know you loved painting before. you be discovered it. you describe it very nicely in the book. what is it about painting that has allowed you to do consumer when i was younger i always loved painting and it was always time by myself. lot of the time i need carers of family around me, groups or people. painting is just my time. family around me, groups or people. painting isjust my time. it is something i can do purely by myself. i don't need help. i can sit there and focus and sold out of everything else. that love and joy i had as a

child. i want to do that now. anybody would watch this and say it isa anybody would watch this and say it is a remarkable standard, a remarkable ability which has also given due prominence, hasn't it? it has been used in different publications and giving you a platform you didn't have before. yes. the response to my work was a lwa ys yes. the response to my work was always hugely overwhelming, people's reaction to it. for the 2015 bulk up i was commissioned by the times to do the coverfor i was commissioned by the times to do the cover for the magazine and i got to do the original cover for the hardback of my book. it worked out quite well for me. i love the one of the boat, by the way. drawing this together henry, for someone who will read the book, if you were asked to sum up the message of the book, the

message you take to schools and other organisations around the country now, what would you say? what is your message, giving you have suffered such a catastrophic setback and he you are today talking to me about being positive and finding good things in life was to mark what would be your summary? always look at what you can do, not at what you can't do. before the accident i was very much the other way. i was a negative person whereas now it is easy for me to wake up and say... now i wake up i say, i get to do this. that mindset makes a huge difference. it might not seem like much but looking for those little things does make a really big difference. good luck. time for a look at the weather, with nick miller.

this fresh batch of rain. a range of the pitchers depending on where we got clear spells or the cloud into south—east england. into tomorrow, this strip of cloud and rain will slowly edge southwards before clearing away. sunny spells will follow. still a few showers from northern ireland. most in western scotland. a fairly brisk breeze. not as strong as it has been today but still fairly gusty. temperatures of mid—to high teens but it will feel cool and fresh.

the government is heavily criticised for its handling of both. britain's most senior police officer, cressida dick, says the decision to pay police less than recommended has hit staffing and morale. how can i recruit, how can i retain, and how can i make my officers and staff feel that i really value them? because i think this is a punch on the nose. and the public spending watchdog has accused the home office of ignoring and failing to understand the impact of budget cuts. also tonight: mark carney agrees to stay on until 2020 as governor of the bank of england to try to help a smooth brexit. saved by her husband —
