but it will be but fit vll be: llrv—r and doubles, but it will be allowed to go 12 all, almost like having an extra set. it is a balance between allowing this natural conclusion, but also the practicality, the scheduling, i mean if you suddenly have a match which lasts six—and—a—half hours, even longer, that plays havoc with the schedule and for broadcasters. indeed. thank you joe. time for a look at the weather with alina jenkins hello, so of us got off to a cold and foggy start. this was the scene in powys late morning. we is had good spells of sunshine. that sunshine here in scotland is beginning to be replaced by more cloud. this weakening front sinking south and eastwards, bringing patchy rain but tending to fizzle out. few showers for the northern and western isle, ahead of it plenty of sunshine in much of england and wales, temperatures up to 16 or 17. now, through this evening our band of

cloud starts to move its way back northwards but that will replace the clearer skies can more cloud. ahead we still have clear skies for a time but with light winds, more mist and fog will form. a chilly night in more shell sheltered rural spots. cool in scotland. much of england and wales will start saturday morning like today with dense patches of fog. again they will be slow clear. they will reveal spells of sunshine. we have cloud in northern ireland, into scotland, outbreaks of rain the further north and west, it will tend to fizzle out as it works southwards, a fairly wind away day, lighter winds elsewhere and where we have the sunshine, including eastern scotland, we will get temperatures up scotland, we will get temperatures up to 16 or17. scotland, we will get temperatures up to 16 or 17. maybe 18 around south—east england and east anglia. so, for the second—of the weekend we still have this area of high pressure, we still have a front, draped across northern ireland and

northern and western scotland, so thatis northern and western scotland, so that is where we will see the strongest winds. more in the way of cloud. once again sunday outbreaks of rain, more persistent. unlikely to get into northern england so further south, it is going to be mainly dry on sunday, more in the way of cloud through the afternoon, where we get the sunshine temperatures up to 717 or 18, we will see some sunshine developing behind the band of cloud in northern ireland and scotland through the afternoon. we will start the new week with this area of high pressure but notice the squeeze in the isobars across northern and western scotland. windy conditions to start the new week. this is where it will they. for much of scotland, northern ireland, england and wales on monday, it is going to be dry, spells of sunshine but it will feel a bit cooler, temperatures more like 13 or 1a celsius on monday, so a quick look at the week ahead. away from the far north of scotland, at the start of the week it will be mainly dry. there will be sunshine but it looks like it could turn

colder later in the week. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime. the radical islamist preacher anjem choudary has been seen in north london this lunchtime — having been freed from prison after serving half his sentence. he now faces a regime of strict supervision. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. hello, welcome. it's after 1.30pm — we'll talk about the return of the premier league in a few minutes, but first... a big change at wimbledon. they're bringing in final set tie—brea ks next year. that means an end to mammoth matches like this one from 2010. the final set between nicholas mahut and john isner went on for over eight hours and finished 70—68. this was after eight hours. nicolas

mahut and john isner. and we had one this year. isner was involved in the second—longest match too. this year against kevin anderson in the semi finals. you could tell by kevin anderson's reaction after winning he was not happy with all the work he had to do. next year the tie break will come in at 12 games all in the final set, something that anderson would have apreciated back injuly. i hope there is a sign for grand slams to change, this format, best—of—5 sets. to be out there this length of time and trying to come back. it has happened tojohn before, playing another five back. it has happened tojohn before, playing anotherfive hours. i hope we can look at it and address this because at the end you do not feel that great out there.” this because at the end you do not feel that great out there. i think some fans might new —— might mourn

the loss of those epic thrillers. chelsea host manchester united in the early kick—off as the premier league returns after the international break. our football reporter maz farookhi is here. will mourinho be back at stamford bridge? returning to chelsea, will he be there? he will because we have heard he has been granted an extension in the deadline imposed and in his press c0 nfe re nce the deadline imposed and in his press conference he has said he has replied to that charge they have given him. he does not feel like he has been victimised. the fa charged him with using abusive and insulting and improper language after the newcastle game. he hopes he will be there to see his team beat his previous club. they are never far from the back pages and online stories and today is no different and look at this. the daily mail saying that

alexis sanchez is unhappy at old trafford. he only moved there nine months ago. these are the old stars, old manchester united players coming out and talking is going on at manchester united are making life uncomfortable for jose mourinho manchester united are making life uncomfortable forjose mourinho or in this instance romelu lukaku, who palace accused of disrespecting the clu b after palace accused of disrespecting the club after saying perhaps he wanted to wa nted club after saying perhaps he wanted to wanted to move to italy. let's talk chelsea, they're in fine form under their new boss maurizio sarri. he has said that ross barkley has a bit of nickel after the international break. he has been in great form for chelsea and he has spoken about probably the best player in the world at the moment, eden hazard. he says he can win everything including the ballon d'or. the kind of football they are

playing under him is different from under antonio conte. it has been called sarri ball. this is good. there's some great analysis of what's been dubbed sarri—ball manchester city and liverpool have fixtures their fans would expect them to get through. along with chelsea, manchester city unliveable, the only two unbeaten sides, city play burnley with joe hart's first trip back to the etihad since leaving city and will he have motivation to prove something? liverpool face huddersfield and jurgen klopp has injury doubts. mo salah and virgilvan jurgen klopp has injury doubts. mo salah and virgil van dijk. sadio mane has a problem and there is another doubt, as well. you would think these guys are losing their games from the expressions!

thank you. a british father has made a trip to syria to visit the spot where his son was killed. jac holmes, from bournemouth died afterfighting against the islamic state group, in their self—proclaimed capital of raqqa. he made the trip along with other british parents who's children were killed fighting there. ?our correspondent emma vardy has this exclusive report. jac wasn't a fighter by any chalk of the imagination. they came outside and they killed each other. jac holmes was 21 when he made the decision to give up his life in bournemouth and travel to syria. at the time, the group known as islamic state was on the rise. jac wanted to help fight them on the front lines. for me, it was a personal choice. i wanted to fight against isis and i wanted to help the situation over here in iraq and syria. jac and many other westerners joined a kurdish militia — the ypg, one of the main groups fighting is on the ground. it is hell, really.

it would be hell for any parent, yeah. itold him, isaid i love you and i am proud of you, but i said it is time to come home — after raqqa, enough is enough. just days after the battle for raqqa was over, jac was killed attempting to defuse an is suicide belt. he is one of eight people from britain to have died with the ypg. authorities in britain repeatedly warn people not to travel, saying fighting with any armed group abroad is not only dangerous but brings legal risks. now, jac‘s father and other parents of those who were killed have made a journey to syria of their own. jac‘s father also made the dangerous journey into raqqa. it was the primary reason me going on the trip, to see where jac had fallen. do you think it was right that the kurdish ypg allowed westerners into their ranks?

youngsters like jack who had no military training? youngsters like jac who had no military training? yes, absolutely. at the time, the kurds were almost overrun by isis, like all of iraq had been. they advanced right through syria. my name is helin qerecox. my name from before was anna campbell. anna campbell, from lewes, was one of several women who came to fight. anna was killed in march by a turkish air strike. her father is still trying to have her body recovered. iam proud, iam proud of my daughter very much. but i also feel a lot of sadness. for anna's father, and jac‘s and others, the new bond they have formed with the kurds helps to ease the pain. but not all feel the same. the mother of ryan lock, from chichester, who died in raqqa in 2016, told an inquest she was angry with the ypg for helping him travel to the conflict. many british fighters who returned to the uk were arrested

and questioned by police. but those whose lives were lost in battle will be remembered here as heroes. emma vardy, bbc news. about 13 million adults in the uk live in areas where at least half the local banks and building societies have closed. bbc anaylsis of data from the office for national statistics has found nearly 6,000 local branches have shut since 2010. the banking industry says closing a branch is only used as a last resort. david rhodes reports. this is sowerby bridge, a forgotten market town in west yorkshire. market trainer used to be very good, but you have only got to look around market trade used to be very good, but you have only got to look around now and see how empty markets are. james has been trading here for decades, but the closure of six bank branches has left him angry. business is getting very hard and it doesn't help when the likes of halifax building society close the cash machine.

cash still plays a big role in this community and many others like it, but this bike shop and cafe sits opposite a former bank branch and it underlines how many bank closures impact notjust on businesses, but on real lives. cash still plays a big role in this community and many others like it, the lloyds across the road was really busy and one of the main thing is about trying to get change and things like that when you are a small business and you do not have... you are there by yourself trying to get change, the post office cannot meet demand. it is absolutely ridiculous. they are just going one after the other, disappearing. online banking, it's the future. that's what the banks tell us. it's not, not for me it isn't, anyway. and not for a lot of people especially my age. as a nation, we now use debit cards more than cash and branch visits have fallen by a quarter since 2012. but consumer groups say they are alarmed by the rate of branch closures. but there is still a huge number of people out there that rely on face—to—face services that are solely reliant on cash, that don't have the capability or the desire to do online and mobile banking. and that's a group of people

that are at serious risk of being financially excluded. uk finance, the body that represents banks, says branch closures are only used as a last resort and millions of people can access banking services at a post office. but, ten years after the banks were bailed out by taxpayers, there are some who say they feel forgotten by an industry that once needed rescuing. the government bailed not just the halifax out, the banking industry. eight years on, they've been bailed out, they've got paid back, and this is the way they have repaid you — closing branches and losing staff. david rhodes, bbc news, sowerby bridge. president trump has threatened to close down america's southern border if mexico doesn't stop central american migrants from making their way to the united states. mr trump has already threatened to mobilise the us military to close the border — which stretches more than three thousand kilometres between america's east and west coast. will grant reports. hungry, wet and exhausted,

these people are the reason president trump is threatening to send the military to the border. the caravan of central american migrants — the majority from honduras — has been on the road for several days now, making its way from san pedro sula to, they hope, the united states. despite president trump warning that he could withdraw aid from honduras and guatemala unless the group were stopped, so far, their passage through central america hasn't been halted. they are legally permitted to travel through the region on their national identity cards. however, greater issues lie ahead. when they reach the guatemalan border with mexico, they are expected to have visas. many don't. that is one of the most porous borders in latin america, but the mexican authorities have ramped up security there in an effort to prevent the migrants from travelling any further north. some of the migrants are hoping to appeal to the mexicans' sense of empathy.

translation: we ask the police and mexican migration to let us through. we are a pacific caravan. we are not hurting anyone. those pleas, though, are likely to fall on deaf ears. meanwhile, shelters and volunteer organisations in the region are struggling to cope with the number of people looking for support. translation: these poor people are fleeing from poverty and violence, because they have always been excluded. the united states has to change its economic and political strategy. with the us mid—term elections just weeks away, this caravan of men and women, grandparents and young children, has taken on a domestic political dimension in the united states. it is one which may soon stop them in their tracks. will grant, bbc news. in a moment we'll have

all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news. the radical islamist preacher anjem choudary has been seen in north london having been released from prison after serving half his sentence. turkish police widen their search to a forest near istanbul as they search for clues in the disappearance of jamal khashoggi. mps call for a ban on new petrol and diesel cars to be brought forward to 2032 — eight years earlier than planned. in the business news... government borrowing excluding public sector was £4.1 billion in september — £0.8 billion less than september 2017. that's according to the latest data from the office for national statistics. so far this year the government has

borrowed £19.9 billion, a third less than for the same period last year. ebay says it is aquiring the motors.co.uk website, making it a "leading alternative" to auto trader as a classified ad site for cars. under the deal, motors.co.uk joins the ebay empire under the control of gumtree which is owned by ebay. a warning from the ferry firm stena line. stena is the largest ferry operator in the irish sea operator in the irish sea and owns three uk ports. it's warning that a no—deal brexit would create hold—ups at ports and could hit food supplies. the latest brexit developments have thrown up the possibility of a longer transition period which has come out of teresa mays which has come out of teresa may's meeting in brussels this week.

without going into the details of what this means, we can summarise it as being a continuation of the status quo — but what does that mean for businesses? does that mean they can put everything on hold as they wait for politicians to sort out a trading relationship with europe or does putting everything on hold make things worse? i'm joined by leena komileva, chief economist, g+. just by putting everything on hold and everything extended, what does it do to businesses as they think about investment and what they are dealing with money and commitment to the country? there is a sense the discussion about what brexit will look like has gone on too long. there is the reality that brexit will change just about every part of everyday life for uk businesses and yet we know so little about it. what is happened in the past week has caused a sigh of relief because we have separated the issue of the deal

from the issue of the withdrawal agreement, as in the transition period, that doesn't push the economy off the edge of a cliff when the uk legally be next year. in other words wrecks it will happen politically but in the economy the shock will be delayed by a period of time and for businesses it means short—term investment can carry on as normal. the risk of disruption is minimised which and there is still a big question mark about what could happen. we have seen a slowdown investment, i am thinking of the car industry. we saw a halving of investment. this is a slowing of investment. have there been signs of people withdrawing investment? the uk is a home of

sophisticated, multinational companies. the reality is that whatever comes next for the relations between the uk and eu, the uk will probably lose the unfettered access to the biggest single market trade area in the world, which means in the best case scenario, the uk would still be a member, a subsidiary of the single market but no longer the third—party entrance door to that area. we could end up with something canada star with the potential in respect of northern ireland which means even more disruptionjust in ireland which means even more disruption just in time when production prices and close trade links are important. shares in shopping

centre owner intu have soared today. the owner of the arndale centre in manchester and lakeside in essex, said it had been approached by possible buyers. it said that a consortium had approached it with an offer worth 205p per share. one of the uk's biggest car dealers, pendragon, has warned that new testing procedures for cars has disrupted sales. since 1st september all cars sold in the european union have to undergo the worldwide harmonised light vehicle test procedure. the company also said that rising investment was also weighing on profits. about 13 million adults in the uk live in areas where at least half of the local banks and building societies have closed, analysis by the bbc reveals. figures from the office for national statistics show nearly 6,000 local branches have shut since 2010, a fall of a third. the markets... this is a follow—on

from what with diesel. the ftse up. not looking too bad. brent crude just above $80 but still looking pretty expensive. the pound is doing reasonably well at the moment. that is the business use. an interview by a bbcjournalist has been watched and shared online hundreds and thousands of times after he asked the boss of a housing company about his £75 million bonus. jeff fairburn, who runs persimmon, received the highest bonus earned by an executive in the uk last year. but when challenged, he walked off camera. our business correspondent based in leeds, spencer stokes, conducted the interview. he told my colleague annita mcveigh what happened. persimmon had become the first home—builder in the uk to open their own brick factory,

rather than buying the bricks in from an outside supplier. so we went along to cover the story. the factory has opened in an area that has suffered job losses in the past, so persimmon creating a0 newjobs. the story was also to demonstrate home—building in the past five years has taken off and that business is booming. we did an interview about that but i could not ignore the fact that, back in may, shareholders at persimmon gave the go—ahead to a £75 million bonus for the chief executive. so i asked if he had any regrets about that the furore that surrounded that when that story broke six months ago. this was his reaction. i, er, ithink , yeah. perhaps not. i'm sorry, we are talking about the brick factory. obviously the construction of the bricks follows on from how well persimmon is doing, so i thought the two issues tied together really.

not bonuses. i would rather not talk about that, it has been well covered. you do not want to discuss that today? are there lessons to be learned about that, it was the biggest bonus in the country? no? i think that is really unfortunate, actually, that you have done that. spencer, sometimes press officers askjournalists in advance not to discuss a particular subject, what happened in this case? before the interview, the press officer said to me we are talking about bricks and not brexit. she did say we were not going to discuss brexit, but she did not mention the pay award. so i thought there is an opportunity to ask him about that. if you watch the clip it is interesting because it does appear as ifjeff fairburn is about to defend it, or at least comment on it. it is the press officer who steps in and ends the conversation. i then ask him if he wants to say any more.

he refused to do so and walked out of shot and she asked afterwards if we would use that section and i said we'd probably would do because of what had happened. this was an issue at the time that politicians got involved in. the business select committee in the house of commons were looking at corporate pay—outs. it was discussed in may and vince cable the lib dem leader was talking about it ten days ago. so it is an issue in and out of the news over the summer, but this was the first broadcast interview he had done since then so i felt it was an issue that could not be ignored. and presumably that is what you would say to someone who would accuse you of ambushing him? that is a word being used — people described it as an ambush, but, as i say, this was a question i could not not ask.

it had to be asked because nobody else had had the opportunity to ask the question since the pay award was made in may and i think if i had not asked, people would say — isn't he the guy from persimmon who has the bonus, why did the reporter not ask the question? so it had to be done. it had to be done and we have to get a look at the weather. now it's time for a look at the weather — we can cross the newsroom to alina. some others got off to a cold start a fog has slowly cleared to reveal plenty of sunshine. this was the north somerset coast of —— a while ago. rain at times but it will fade as it sinks southwards and behind it sunshine in scotland and showers in the northern and western isles and further south, the lion's share of the sunshine with temperatures up to

16, 17. late brightness in the far north of northern ireland. overnight, cloud moving back north, replacing the earlier clear skies. further south, clear skies at first before fog starts to reformat and close to freezing in rural areas. and a cold night in eastern scotland where we keep the clearest skies. the start of the weekend, many parts seeing fog but when it clears, another fine and sunny day. cloud in northern ireland, northern england, into scotland, where we will find rain which will fizzle out but a windy day in northern and western isles, elsewhere lighter wind and in the sunshine, temperatures were widely up to 17 celsius. maybe 18 in east anglia. as we go into sunday,

high—pressure across much of england and wales but still a front across scotla nd and wales but still a front across scotland and northern ireland where we will see the strongest winds, cloud, rain through sunday, attached to the front moving south and eastwards. any rain will tend to fizzle out and behind it sunshine across northern ireland and scotland and the head of it, sunshine. just 10 degrees in northern and western scotland, where we will find showers in the afternoon. in the new week, high—pressure for most. a windy start to the week. cloudy with outbreaks of rain. this is where it will stay through monday. looking mainly dry through england and northern ireland. a brisk wind making it feel cooler. 13—14 on monday afternoon. away from the far north of scotland will be wet and windy, much of next week looking dry

and sunshine when we have lost the early—morning fog and potentially colder later in the week. goodbye. hello, you're watching afternoon live. today at 2pm. radical islamist preacher anjem choudary poses for photos on the steps of a bail hostel in north london after being freed from prison. what he has done, the damage he has done, i've worked with a lot of families. a lot of them, he has ruined their lives. a lot of them, he has ruined their lives. investigators in turkey widen their search to a forest near istanbul as they look for clues in the disappearance of jamal khashoggi. nick clegg joins facebook as the new head of global communications. and we have all the sport. a break with tradition at wimbledon. no more
