1:33 pm
outbreaks of rain working into western scotland accompanied by gale force gusts of wind. temperatures 12-16, force gusts of wind. temperatures 12—16, so continuing to feel a little cooler than it has done of late but in the short term it's a big drop in temperatures, i'm sure you'll notice in england and wales, as we head into tomorrow. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime... a week after the earthquake and tsunami that hit sulawesi in indonesia, officials say they fear more than 1000 people could still be buried on the island. 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. with manchester united boss mike drone of poorform, with manchester united boss mike drone of poor form, there were started the season in 29 years, jose
1:34 pm
mourinho has admitted this morning defeated newcastle this weekend will be unacceptable. he wasn't overly vocal. his press conference lasted three minutes. when asked going five matches without a win would be good enough, all he said was, i accept. he was asked why his side had been underperforming this season. for many different reasons. kelly tan are some of those reasons as? no. only one defeat in the last season. no. only one defeat in the last season. no victories at home in the past three matches. three draws. not the feeling of the defeat but not the feeling of the defeat but not the happiness of the picadilly. so, yes, it is important for us to try
1:35 pm
to win this match. lewis hamilton was fastest in first and second practice for the japanese grand prix in his mercedes. however in the earlier session — he narrowly avoid a huge crash wiht toro rosso's pierre gasly who was handed a reprimand afterwards. didn't seem to phsae hamilton though — he was 0.833 seconds clear of title rival sebastian vettel‘s ferrari, and nearly half a second faster than team—mate valtteri bottas. they don't make tracks like this any more. there is very, very little room foreign. a little touch of the grass and you are often the wall. it is very marginal being on the limit and it is so quick through the first section. it has to be one of my favourite circuits. british number one kyle edmund is through to the semi final of the china open after beating serbian qualifier dusan lajovic in straight sets.
1:36 pm
edmund, won the first set 6—3 but was taken to a tie break in the second which he won 7—4. it's his third semi—final of the year and he's guaranteed a new career—high ranking on monday. a big blow for england's rugby league side, their star forward sam burgess has been forced to withdraw from the squad to face new zealand in the upcoming tri—series. he captained england in last year's world cup final, but shoulder and wrist surgery means he won't feature in wayne bennett's side. burgess, who plays his club rugby for south sydney, will remain in australia in preparation for the 2019 season. the three test series starts at the end of the month. love him or hate him or love to hate him conor mcgregor is back for ufc 229 and after a two year absence from ufc, he still draws the crowds. they were probably expecting another dramatic over the top episode of this long—running feud between mcgregor and his opponent this weekend,
1:37 pm
khabib nurmagomedov, well they didn't even cross paths this time because mcgregor didn't turn up on time, blaming traffic. when he did arrive, he answered questions, insulted the russian champion, posed for photos and then slipped off. that fight takes place on saturday night assuming they both make weight. finally to moto gp and a huge crash at the inaugural thailand grand prix. about halfway through second practicejorge lorenzo crashed, falling across the track as his bike broke into pieces. it temporarily stopped the session and lorenzo admitted he was scared during the incident. he was taken to hospital for precautionary checks but "has been declared fit" to race following the accident. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories including more on a 43 run victory for england against a sri lankan eleven on the bbc sport website. you were watching bbc news. must

have a look at some of the news. a man who punched a young woman outside a paris cafe has been sentenced to six months injailand fined. video footage of the assault went viral and caused outrage. it resulted in france adopting a law imposing on—the—spot fines for cat—calling and sexual harrassment. russell trott reports. the scene outside a typical parisien cafe, but look towards the left of the shot. the woman in the red dress, marie laguerre, hasjust been struck by a passer—by, the man in the black t—shirt, who she says had been shouting obscenities and threw an ashtray at her after she told him to shut up. the encounter lasted just seconds, but has had a lasting impact, afterfootage of the incident went viral. it sparked outrage and provoked international debate about the level
1:39 pm
of harassment experienced by women on a daily basis. the 22—year—old student's attacker has now been sentenced to six months in prison and fined more than $2,000. prosecutors deem there to be insufficient evidence to find him guilty of sexual harassment. yet ms laguerre believes the treatment he will receive alongside his sentence could have the greatest impact. translation: what satisfies me the most is that he will be forced to do training on sexist violence towards women. that is the most satisfying thing. it's wonderful. just days after the attack, french lawmakers passed new legislation to crack down on sexual aggression on the street, including predatory remarks and catcalling, actions which could now attract on—the—spot fines of up to 750 euros.
1:40 pm
marie laguerre has now set up a website for other women to share their stories. she hopes that this will bolster the conversation already in full flow thanks to movements like #metoo. russia has hit back at claims it was involved in a series of cyber attacks, saying the accusations are part of an anti—russian campaign by the west. yesterday the uk, the us and the netherlands said kremlin intelligence agents have targeted political organisations in the uk, including the foreign office, and the porton down defence research facility. a british man has died after being bitten by a sea snake in australia while working on a fishing trawler. emergency crews were called to a boat off the coast of groote island, 400 miles east of the capital darwin, but were unable to save the 23—year—old. police say uk officials
1:41 pm
have been notified. the criminaljustice system cannot cope with the number of people looking at indecent images of children, according to the senior police officer in charge of child protection in the uk. chief constable simon bailey says counselling should be available to those who are tempted to look at such images, before they do so. last month the government announced extra funding for charities that provide support. tim muffett reports. it's the darkest, most horrible thing, something you keep locked inside you. impulses which dave acted upon. we have changed his name, and his words are spoken by someone else. i started watching adult porn, eventually ended up looking at child imagery. i was arrested and taken into a police station one night. i told them straightaway they would find images on a certain laptop of children. i'm glad i got arrested,
1:42 pm
to stop anything happening further. i don't know how far i could have gone. dave received a two—year suspended prison sentence and was referred to a charity, stopso, a specialist treatment organisation for the prevention of sexual offending. they helped me understand what led me to looking at indecent images, a chance to identify my triggers. i was depressed. it was just an image, i didn't touch them. but after treatment, it made me realise how, indirectly, i was abusing children. there will be some people watching this thinking, well, you don't deserve help and sympathy, you deserve to be punished. what do you say to those people? i do deserve to be punished, but this is a lot bigger problem than people think. we simply cannot cope with the volume of referrals that we are getting. simon bailey is the police chief in charge of child protection in the uk. he has recently become a patron of stopso, and believes more help should be given to those tempted to access indecent images of children before they do so.
1:43 pm
what i'm really keen on doing is encouraging those people who recognise from an early age they have a sexual interest in children that they need to seek help. there surely aren't many other crimes, are there, where someone would get preventative treatment before they thought they might commit the crime? no, no, there are not. but we simply cannot arrest our way out of this problem. we are arresting 400 offenders every month. if we tackle it in that multifaceted way, we might stand a chance of actually beating what i believe genuinely is a scourge of society in the 21st century. hello, stop it now helpline. this helpline is run by the lucy faithfull foundation, another charity. amongst its many services, it offers support to people who think they might carry out child sexual abuse. last month, the government announced more than £2.5 million of funding for this type of preventative work. frustration and disappointment...
1:44 pm
money that could have been better spent, as far as fay maxted is concerned. her charity represents victims of sexual abuse. victims and survivors have to wait maybe up to nine months before they get the counselling they need. some of them will think that funding is always directed in the wrong direction, and that, actually, their needs should be prioritised. dave says his illegal behaviour is behind him, and feels he could have stopped it much sooner. i wish i'd seeked help beforehand. it's about trying to put an end to it before it progresses. it is a controversial approach to preventing a sickening crime, and there is no conclusive evidence it works. but, for some, such a massive problem requires radical thinking. tim muffett, bbc news. plaid cymru's new leader adam price will address his party's
1:45 pm
conference in the next few minutes. our wales political editor felcity evans joins us from cardigan. you and i spoke on the day he was elected so is this his first big speech since that moment? absolutely. he was elected with their big mandate last week, last friday, a convincing mandate. there has been a lot of excitement to hear him. he is well—known as a powerful and charismatic speaker. the queues were stretching right outside into this hole to get seats in the auditorium to hear them. people have been latin now. the sorts of things he's likely to say will be the new seat the years of the plaid cymru delegates here in cardigan. he is talking about brexit, he was to stop brexit, he
1:46 pm
says. he is a big supporter of another referendum. he wants another referendum that this non—welsh independence. in the events brexit happens, it must be the table. irrespective of that, he says if he gets power in the welsh assembly he is promising to hold a referendum on welsh independence within a decade him getting into power. in terms of this politics, getting into power, what are the key issues in his inbox if his power —— party to perform more strongly?m in his inbox if his power —— party to perform more strongly? it is a big ask because he has ten ams at the moment. plaid is the third largest party in the assembly and there will be a lot to do over the next three years ahead of the assembly elections. as you suggest, this is a risky strategy, to talk about brexit, talk about welsh independence. brexit is a massively divisive issue across the uk, same
1:47 pm
here in wales. wales did vote in favour of leaving the european union. as far as welsh independence is concerned, opinion polling varies, but it suggests it is a minority interest at the moment. with this strategy although it makes the heart of plaid cymru members sing, is risk alienating perhaps more voters it pleases. i've been speaking to elected representatives from the party here about that risk and to ordinary party members. they all feel it is a risk worth taking. they say this is about the clarity of message but credibility with the voters. one said it is important people know what we are for. without this sort of clarity in the uncertainty of politics, the party risks dissipating into a veep of niceness. we have to wait and see whether in fact that gamble pays off. thank you very much. that is oui’ off. thank you very much. that is our wales political editor in
1:48 pm
cardigan. there will be more from their little bit later was that gets under way. we have all the business news coming up. just a reminder of today's headlines. there are fears the death toll in indonesia after the earthquake and tsunami could rise dramatically, a thousand people could still buried in a housing complex in the city of palu. four political leaders from northern ireland are meeting the eu's brexit negotiator in brussels, to discuss the irish border question. unilever — which owns dozens of household brands — has abandoned plans to move its corporate headquarters from london to the netherlands. i'm ben bland with the business news. as we've been hearing, unilever, which makes marmite and dove soap, has scrapped its plan to move its headquarters to the netherlands. it has headquarters in both london and rotterdam, but in march revealed plans to close its london one. it failed to get enough investor support,
1:49 pm
some feared it could force uk shareholders to sell their shares. toyota is recalling more than 2.1imillion hybrid vehicles around the world. it's because of a fault in their systems that could cause them to lose power. prius and auris cars are affected, including 55,000 in the uk. cars affected were produced between october 2008 and november 2014. men with fewer qualifications in manualjobs are more likely to be hit by post—brexit trade barriers, according to new research out today by the institute for fiscal studies. it also warned that factory workers in industries that sell a large amount to the eu are particularly at risk. one of unilever‘s biggest brands, marmite, is famous for its slogan "love it or hate it". and it seems that's exactly how divided investors were over unilver‘s plan to close its london headquarters and go completely dutch with one hq in rotterdam.
1:50 pm
it makes many big brands including dove soap, ben &jerry‘s ice cream and pot noodles. but unilever has done a u—turn on its plan after it found strong opposition from some of its big institutional shareholders. unilever‘s current structure with two headquarters has existed since 1930, when dutch margarine firm unie merged with british soap maker lever brothers. earlier we spoke to, simon french, chief economist, at panmure gordon. you can trace this initial decision from unilever to try and do a single headquarters in the netherlands down to two factors. first, in february 2017 the american giant kraft heinz launched a hostile takeover of unilever and that spurred the management of unilever to look at how they could reduce costs. part of doing that was to do a single headquarters and that was further incentivised by a promise, this is the second point, from the dutch
1:51 pm
government to reduce dividend taxation from the current 15% to 0% which would make it more attractive to hold shares in a dutch domiciled country. that would be the backdrop to this rather than it being brexit, which has been argued by many commentators, ijust don't think it's relevant. let's take a look at some of the other business news around today. men with fewer qualifications in manualjobs are more likely to be hit by post—brexit trade barriers, according to analysis out today from the institute for fiscal studies. it suggests, factory workers in industries that sell a large amount to the eu are particularly at risk. the uk has extensive trade links with the european union, with 44% of uk exports destined for the bloc, and more than half of import. a government spokesperson said it had proposed frictionless trade between the uk and the eu. young people in the uk
1:52 pm
are losing the savings habit, according to figures out today from the office for national statistics. more than half of 22 to 29—year—olds are living with no savings at all, some 53% of this age group have nothing in a savings account or individual savings account. the squeeze on pay and the prevalence of insecure work mean many cannot put money aside. ten years ago, at the start of the financial crisis, 41% had no savings. among those who are saving now, nearly four in 10 have no more than £1,000 tucked away. waitrose is to test a delivery service which will allow drivers to enter a customer's home while they are out, and put their groceries away. the trial uses smart lock technology to allow customers to set an access code for their door lock which is deleted when the delivery is complete. the pilot starting
1:53 pm
later this month will involve 100 homes in south london. profit margins on home deliveries are thin, and one analyst said the aim was to boost loyalty and profitability. i'm not sure if i like the idea of somebody going through my fridge! britain's main stock index edged lower on friday and was poised for its biggest weekly drop in a month. the export—oriented main stock index was also feeling pressure after the pound strengthened by a against the euro and the dollar after european union brexit negotiators said that a divorce deal with britain was very close. that's all the business news. that story is my favourite story of the day. what if they stack the fridge strongly? do you put the ketchup in the fridge or not? we have a lot to discuss. the winner of the royal institute of british architects' most prestigious award, the riba stirling prize, will be announced next week. the nominations to become
1:54 pm
britain's best new building include a student housing development, a cemetery, and a nursery school. we'll look at each building in the shortlist over the next few days and today it's the turn of chadwick hall at the university of roehampton in london by henley halebrown, which comprises three new buildings providing high—quality student housing on a modest budget. we identified the need, as a campus university, to provide as much residential accommodation for students as possible. the client really wanted as many rooms as they could get on what was a very controversial site, historic landscape, listed buildings and to do that in the least controversial way. the project consists of 210 bedrooms in three buildings in the grounds of a grade ii—listed house.
1:55 pm
the building is a marriage of two histories. the brickwork from the georgian house and the concrete frame from the 20th century estate. what i really like about the development we have done here is the way it sits with the surrounding buildings. they look like they've been here forever. one of the features that really struck us was the bay window. that became the inspiration for a whole series of elements within the scheme. student housing is often very mean. and one of the meanest bits is the window but in this context, in a garden, we thought why not some french windows? generous, kind, and it gives them access to a balcony, wonderful daylight but actually outside space. it is important students don't feel isolated. it is very easy for them to live in their room. we have focused on making sure the communal spaces are bigger than you might expect.
1:56 pm
we've also created, used, if you like, the grounds to develop outdoor space where people can meet and means they are encouraged to socialise. very different from your typical student halls or accommodation. you see the greenery and you see the people. itjust add something different, you know it's a roehampton but it doesn't feels like roehampton, it feels like home. you can find out more about all of the nominated buildings on the bbc arts website and watch this year's riba stirling prize live here on the bbc news channel next wednesday evening between 8.30pm and 9.00pm. we'll have more from cardigan and a little while. we're waiting to hear from the new leader of plaid cymru.
