hi, guys! there is nothing like a double act — and this one has drawn the crowds across australia. one of life's little triumphs for a lover of royalty. jonny dymond, bbc news, fraser island. time for a look at the weather. here's nick miller. we have had some australian temperatures but it will get a bit colder? a lot colder. winter around the corner, coming sooner a lot colder. winter around the corner, coming sooner than many would like. as let's celebrate the warmth we had at the weekend. temperatures topping just 20 celsius from scotland to the south but by this weekend coming, a strong northerly wind, temperatures in single figures and yes that is a bit of snow, especially across some northern hills. we will get to that if you can bear to keep watching. first, let's look at what we've got now, high—pressure keeping us quiet for the start of the week but not

for the start of the week but not for all. some rain in northern scotland, heavily into the northern isles and a strong gusting wind. turning breezy elsewhere that most other places this afternoon looking dry, temperatures down a bit out of the warmth of the weekend but then again very pleasant when you see some sunshine. the rain in the northern isles towards northern mainland scotland, the wind picking up mainland scotland, the wind picking up tonight across the northern half of the uk but keeping temperatures up of the uk but keeping temperatures up compared with last night. some of us up compared with last night. some of us into double figures, lower temperatures will be in southern england, low signal fingers temperatures will be in southern england, low signalfingers in places, maybe the odd patch of mist and fog, but nothing widespread. tomorrow we will keep pulses of rain and strong wind coming into the westernmost parts of scotland, gusty winds for the pennines, around 50 miles an hour. most places a mixture of cloud and sunshine and and a little bit warmer tomorrow. in

aberdeenshire, sunshine could see 18 degrees. by wednesday, most places dry. the breeze using. for thursday, the first signs of that change to colder weather. notice the rain gathering towards north—west scotland. this is a weather front that will move south thursday night into friday, still ahead of it on friday, some sunny spells, temperatures in the mid to low teens but as that move south, thursday into friday, the blue takes over. follow the arrows to the arctic, it's a stronger wind. wind chill becomes more of a feature and there will be showers. falling snow in the northern hills but sunshine at times times as well. the cold snap on the way, the wind will feel quite bitter at times compared with what we have had and that chance of seeing some snow as well. it's all going on by the time they get to the weekend. looks like winter is knocking at the door and we are going to be feeling the chill. enjoy if you have warmth right now, what is left of it.

thank you very much. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime theresa may is to tell mps that a brexit deal is 95 % complete — it comes amid condemnation of the violent language used against her by some of her own tory mps. 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. here is your latest sports news. lewis hamilton will have to wait until next weekend in mexico to wind his fifth formula 1 title, third at the us grand prix wasn't enough at taking the world crown. racing

legend sirjackie stewart thinks lewis hamilton will retire before he reaches that mark. he will burn out, because as the success brings, now he is going into clothing, for example, other things he loves music, for example, and sooner or later you get tired of it. i did, i got tired at a very young age, 3a i retired. and i went on to other things. like in most sports, you burn—out, and he will burn out. the ecb said whilst the limited information we have been given is poorly prepared and lacks clarity and corporation, it has been properly assessed. the documentary has also been dismissed by fast bowler mark wood who is with the

england squad in sri lanka. bowler mark wood who is with the england squad in sri lankam bowler mark wood who is with the england squad in sri lanka. itjust doesn't really bother me, to be honest. i mean, we get anti—corruption training. we speak to the guys. i've got a guy called peter 0'shea who i trust a lot. he's at the end of the phone if i need him. all of this stuff, to me, it has no hit or anything like that to it. it is nothing new is to me. if they came up with concrete evidence, they came up with concrete evidence, they said a name, they could prove something, then i would be a little bit more worried, but at the minute it doesn't worry me because they keep making accusations and there's nothing behind it, so i'm not too forced. andrea malinga could be out forced. andrea malinga could be out for six months after tearing his achilles tendon in the game to west ham and tottenham. arsenal have won

nine ina ham and tottenham. arsenal have won nine in a row in all competitions. their head coach doesn't think another victory is guaranteed tonight. leicester is a very good team. inaudible they are very competitive. they have good players. we need every single player. and also our mentality together. to be stronger than the last march. i think they have good confidence in their play. perhaps if they play with more direct play, or clinical play, with clinical play, like i said. then they can have good confidence for the future. before we

90, confidence for the future. before we go, sergio garcia won his third valder rama masters in a row earlier this morning, finishing four shots clear of ireland's's shane lowry, who was second. you can find out more on that and the other sports stories on the website. that it from me for now. thinks very much. —— thanks very much. a delegation including former conservative secretary of state iain duncan smith and the former northern ireland first minister lord trimble has been meeting the eu's chief brexit negotiator michel barnier in brussels. former enviroment secretary 0wen paterson started by explaining what the group had been discussing. further to my letter i wrote to michel barnier back in september when we published our european paper on how we could help resolve the issues around all uk's borders but with particular reference to northern ireland. we believe using existing techniques, existing processes and all within existing eu law, we can continue to trade seamlessly across all borders without damaging the integrity of

the european customs union and single market, which is fundamental for them. we had a long and constructive meeting with mr barnier and his staff and we're going to go back and report the details to our colleagues and our own government. we can't negotiate in public. the government negotiates, we're just here to present a paper, which we did, and have a constructive discussion, which we had. we are now going back and we will talk to the government about it. you seem to be one of the few people from northern ireland who thinks it is possible to do what was just outlined, it is possible to have the best of every world, everyone is happy? i very much hope that everyone will be happy at the end. we are certain that we can produce something that will meet the needs for the moment. are you undermining the prime minister? absolutely not. you've got to understand, we come back to what we said earlier on, we are presenting some ideas which we think are

constructive and we had a constructive discussion and now we're going to go back and talk to the government about it. this is all within a par of what the government says they want to achieve which is, ultimately, leave on the best terms. any of you responsible for the violent imagery in the papers this weekend aimed at the prime minister? i don't know anything about that other than what i've heard. whoever did that needs to have the fullest weight of the conservative party on them. it may not turn out to be that, it is nothing to do with our politics, it has nothing to do with this issue. would you give your full support to the prime minister? i have always done. the prime minister gets my full support, that is it, full stop. we are fully behind her, we've got article 50 passed, we've got the withdrawal passed and now what we want to see is this an arrangement. what we have to do now is catch a train. joining me from westminster is our assistant political

editor, norman smith. they are catching a train. meanwhile the pm is about to address mps. as we we re the pm is about to address mps. as we were hearing, after a weekend of pretty violent imagery, which was used about her. i suspect the reason they are rushing to catch a train is because we are facing a common sort of, brexit been first in the commons this afternoon. no fewer than three separate statement and urgent questions on matters brexit. —— a, sort of, brexit fest. it'll give a reflection of the mood and theresa may's demeanour. there is no doubt a rancorous mood on the backbenches following the brussels summit last week where there was not much progress. and worse, the idea of an extension to the transition period, which really seemed to infuriate mps on all sides. and has reignited

suggestions about a possible leadership challenge. i'm joined by the conservative mp simon hart who has been supportive of the pm. what would you say to those tory mps who are sitting down pondering whether they should write a letter calling for a leadership contest? blue talk to constituents, businesses, people afraid about their jobs, to constituents, businesses, people afraid about theirjobs, and ask them what is the professional thing to do in circumstances like this. if it is anything like my part of the country, it is do not make a complicated situation even more complicated. do not make us look self—indulgent, do not make this look like it is all about the tories and all about the leader, it is actually about the country. and at this time of all times we need to be calm, very resolute, and play it, for once, as a teen. it is difficult to gauge if we are on the cusp of 48 letters. —— as a team. but more broadly, do you think there is an appetite to get rid of the prime

minister on the tory backbenches? there is fear and frustration. people are exasperated about where we are. and i think it is easy, in those circumstances, to take it out on the team captain. is there an alternative in the wings, with a magic potion to fix all of the problems? no, so the only person who would benefit from a big, sort of, public event such as a leadership challenge now is michel barnier. it strengthens the hand of the european commission. it makes us look uncoordinated. and if you are a brexit campaign it puts your goal further out of reach than it already is. it makes no sense at all. let's talk about some of the backlash there has been against some of the language used by anomalous brexiteers over the weekend, directed at the pm, saying she is entering the killing zone, or she should bring a news if she wants to attend the 22. how much damage has that gone to the brexiteers?”

attend the 22. how much damage has that gone to the brexiteers? i think it's done damage to parliament. i think it's done damage to mps. i think it's done damage to mps. i think it's done damage to the cause of brexit. the nation is looking on, expecting us to be operating in a professional and calm manner. when they see and hear that, all it does is confirm people's worst fears about the sort of people who inhabit this building. it's all a bit of a game. we have no loyalty. we have no professionalism. we deserve to be punished at the ballot box. that's the message that sense. to the anonymous person lurking in the shadows who thought that was a clever thing to do, i hope they woke this morning and thought, i am a bit ofan this morning and thought, i am a bit of an idiot. beyond the broader ramifications for parliament, do you think it damages those pressing for a so—called hard brexit, by may be fuelling the sense they are overreaching themselves? a lifelong brexit campaigner rang me and said they'd done nothing but campaign for

brexit all of their career. they said, ithink brexit all of their career. they said, i think we've blown it, i think we are overstretched, i think brexit hangs on the most delicate of threads. those people who been perfectly legitimate, campaigning so ha rd perfectly legitimate, campaigning so hard for this outcome, if they'd damaged their prospects by offensive and loose language, and making it look to the wider public we are more interested in conservative party politics than we are the national interest. thanks. it's going to be fascinating. the theatre of this afternoon, just to see how theresa may deals with the backbenches. how she seems in terms of her own confidence. in the past week, it's been pretty battering. i suspect the next week or so we'll be battering, too. thanks very much. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news... theresa may will tell mps this afternoon that the terms of the agreement under which the uk will leave the eu are 95% complete. the king and crown prince

of saudi arabia have offered condolences to the son of the murdered journalist, jamal khashoggi, after their foreign minister admits he was murdered. i have the business news. the tobacco giant urging people to quit smoking?! philip morris — one of the industry's biggest players — has been accused of "staggering hypocrisy" over its new ad campaign. the marlboro maker said the move was "an important next step" in its aim to "ultimately stop selling cigarettes". but cancer research uk said the firm was just trying to promote its smoking alternatives. a bumpy landing — as the latest profits come in at ryanir. they were down 7% — but still made just over £1 billion in the last six months. the budget airline blamed the fall on pilot strikes and higher fuel costs. this comes as ryanair faces heavy criticism for failing to remove a passenger from a flight this

weekend, after he allegedly racially abused another passenger. minicab firm addison lee says it will launch a fleet of self driving taxis in london by 2021. this will set it head—to—head against its rival — the ride—hailing app uber. that firm is also planning to roll out driverless cars on its network, once regulatory permission has been granted. more now on the news that addison lee is planning to offer self—driving taxis in the capital by 2021, following a tie up with self—driving software specialist 0xbotica. a smart move if you consider the industry is expected to be worth £28 billion in the uk by 2035. but the question is, would you trust a taxi with no driver? joining us now is andy boland, chief executive, addison lee. you're asking customers

to take a leap of faith getting into one of these things without a driver, aren't you? this is new technology. absolutely. what's exciting about today is that technology that only really been thought about being deployed in silicon valley is coming to the uk are coming to london, one of the major centres of markets the services we apply. this is the start ofa services we apply. this is the start of a piece of work which over the next couple of years will prove out the model to bring self driving cars and self driving vehicles to the london streets. some say this technology is being rushed out before it's ready, we've seen a fatal accident in arizona during tests by uber. isn't it more sensible to say you'll do it when ready rather than set a date of 2021? i think there are stages along the

way. the first aid for us is that we will do 3—d mapping for the whole of london. we will map london as a first step. why the technology into our consumer app. then we'll start trialling and testing the services. —— wire the technology. the number one consideration has to be public safety. there is no way we and our regulator will allow anything to go out onto the street without being 100% certain. how and where will you test these? given the nature of london as a city, it's busy. surely the only real test cannot, when you put one of these things on a real road where you have pedestrians, cyclists, and ca rs you have pedestrians, cyclists, and cars that are driven by humans. absolutely. that's why the way these things are tested is in the live environment with safety drivers and

very strict protocol around how that is done. in terms of service is coming out, you can imagine going from somejeering fenced coming out, you can imagine going from some jeering fenced services, broadening out to shuttle services, then into the commuting area progressively over a period of time. —— geo fenced services. we need to get something to market and develop it from there. this will be exciting news for some. what happens to all your current drivers? crucially, so, today we have 5000 drivers in london and the rest of the uk. mainly servicing business customers for our premium services. for the foreseeable future, long into the future, those driven services will be paramount. what we are talking about here is new services that add to what we already do, rather than replacing our drivers. it's important to say that with those new services bev succumbs appointment. those services need to be managed. —— with those new

services comes more employment. those services need to be cleaned. they might not be driven by individuals but there was a lot of support that goes around them. thank you very much. the ftse is in positive territory, benefiting from a rise in metal prices which is pushing up the share prices which is pushing up the share prices of some mining companies. also there is a slightly weaker dollar. that's all the business news. thanks very much. a rare type of albatross is at risk of extinction as it comes under attack from super—sized mice. the colony of tristan albatross on gough island in the south atlantic is threatened by mice that have learnt to eat their eggs and young chicks. video cameras set up showed up to nine mice eating the chicks alive, which has helped the mice to grow up to 50% larger than normal.

the mice were introduced to the island by sailors in the nineteenth century, and the royal society for the protection of birds is planning an operation to eradicate them by 2020. earlier dr alex bond from the natural history museum spoke to my colleague rebecca jones, and explained what was behind the behaviour. when you have something like mice arrive they expand to fill that niche. these guys developed a taste of sea birds with devastating consequences. and they do it in groups? yes, anywhere from one, we have seen up to eight or nine on a single albatross. it's important to note that albatross are just one of the 23 breeding sea birds on gough island. this affects all of them. the mice are eating other species, as well? yes, that's right. anything from little tiny storm pectorals that are maybe 30, a0 grams, up to the ten kilogram tristan albatross. in a year, there's about 2 million chicks on the island

that get eaten by mice. how long has this been going on for? mice were introduced in the 19th century as you mentioned, we only got a handle on the problem in the last 25 years when we started sending scientific teams there in the winter. that's when the mice are particularly voracious. there is no alternative food around like fruit or berries. the big question, how can this problem be dealt with? the rspb is planning an eradication of mice from the island. this will entail hiring a ship and helicopters that will fly over the island in the summer, sorry, winter of 2020 to spread a bait over the island. this is a common technique that is used in island restoration, it's been done successfully on 700 islands. we are reasonably confident of success. just to to decode what this kind of bait is, you are going to poison them? that is right, it is a pellet, they eat one and the mice will die within 2a hours.

how do you know only mice will eat these pallets and none of these other species? the operation will be done in the winter when most birds are not on the island. seabirds forage at sea, they don't get food from land. they are not adapted to do that. the gough has two endemic land birds, the finch and a moor hen. to mitigate any issues there, there will be captive populations kept at both. the important thing to remember is that eradications like this are playing the long game. 1.7 million chicks a year are killed by mice so even though there may be a short—term decline they will bounce back. how quickly will these rare birds recover if everything goes according to plan? if everything goes according to plan, the first breeding season after the mice are removed will be a bumper crop. depending on the species it will take several years for that to be reflected in the population. but we'll see an immediate effect. as a pastime it involves

a tremendous leap of faith. base—jumping is becoming increasingly popular — but it's not always legal. however, in west virginia, once a year, they let hundreds of people base jump off one of the highest road bridges in north america. tim allman has more. believe it or not, but this is supposed to be fun. away they go, one after another, each of them proving that sir isaac newton knew exactly what he was talking about. most do it by themselves. three, two, one! but some enjoy a little company. the biggest officially approved gathering of base jumpers in the whole world. normally we have to sneak around and find objects to jump off of,

but for six hours, once a year, on one day, we get to come out here and do it legally. they were literally queueing up for the chance to jump into the great unknown. and this was the picturesque venue, a bridge over the new river gorge in west virginia. more than 900 metres in length, and a drop of more than 260 metres, it's no surprise some might want a little reassurance before they depart. from your perspective it looks crazy and risky, from our perspective there's a lot of methodical background that goes into it. and the packing. everything about what we've done has led up to this. there were plenty of onlookers, preferring to observe rather than participate, who knows, maybe next year they'll be willing to give it a go. either way, one thing is clear, what goes up really must come down. tim allman, bbc news. why would you even think of doing

that? i have no idea. now it's time for a look at the weather. we can cross the newsroom to nick miller. big change in the weather on the way by the end of this week. we just saw temperatures above 20 celsius this weekend. helped by further sunshine. scenes like this into this weekend with snow on the hills in some places. a wind chill from a strong northerly wind, which will be a shock to the system. high pressure is close by. it is keeping most of us find at the moment. but there are weather fronts to the north of scotland. heavy rain for some at the moment, strong winds, too, gusting up to 60 mph in the

northern isles. turning breezy in northern areas as the day goes on. temperatures down compared with the weekend. but it is pleasant when you see some sunshine. rain over the northern isles, fringing into the mainland of northern scotland. the wind picks up a little bit further across northern part of the uk overnight. that will keep temperatures up here. folsom, temperatures up here. folsom, temperatures into double figures. the further south you are, though single figures, and the odd patch of mist and fog. a windy day the northern england, northern ireland, scotland. 50 mph gust of wind. more rain running into western scotland. elsewhere, looking dry, with sunshine in aberdeenshire, where we could see tebbutt is up to 18 degrees. wednesday is looking like a fine day. —— temperatures up to 18 degrees. the first signs of that cold change arriving on thursday

with this area of rainfall nudging into scotland, it's really through thursday night into friday this will move south across the uk. as bad weather front moves south, it opens the door to airfrom weather front moves south, it opens the door to air from the arctic coming down across the uk. —— that weather front. there will be showers. blustery showers in the wind. if you catch a show on the high ground of northern england, scotland,, high ground of northern england, scotland, , and into high ground of northern england, scotland,, and into wales over the weekend, you could see some snow. the wind chill could be a factor this weekend. i mentioned the snow. we have been experiencing late summer, and we go straight into early winter. that is your forecast. hello, you're watching afternoon live, i'm simon mccoy. today at 2pm... its's 95% done — theresa may's brexit message to the commons later — after a weekend of vicious attacks from within her own ranks. in brussels, brexiteerformer ministers met the eu chief

negotiator michel barnier for talks — insisting they weren't there to undermine theresa may. the prime minister gets my full support. we are fully behind her. we have got article 50 past and now would we want to see is this end arrangements. saudi arabia's king and crown prince phone the son of murdered journalist jamal khashoggi — to send their condolences. calls to boycott ryanair — after staff refuse to move a passenger who hurled racist abuse at a windrush generation pensioner. coming up on afternoon live all the sport — katherine downes.
