(louise 00v) jane fonda tells us about what's acceptable behaviour in today's workplace — as she prepares for the re—release of the classic movie 9 to 5. if you said to me, "do you want to go to bed?" or if you want to finish this interview, i have to sleep with you, that would be inappropriate, but saying i look good, thank you very much, i appreciate that. good morning, it is a chilly start this morning. we are looking at sunny spells through the day. any north and west, there will be more clout with some spots of rain. i will have more in 50 minutes. good morning it's wednesday the 24th of october. our top story: there are warnings of queues,

delays and criminal gang activity at the uk's borders, if britain leaves the european union without a deal. a report from the government watchdog the national audit office says complicated new border controls may not be ready by the end of march. it's emerged the government will urge ferry and freight companies to plan alternative routes if a no—deal brexit blocks cross—channel traffic. here's our economics correspondent, andy verity. this is how easily goods flow into and out of the country now. and this is what might happen to the m20, according to the government and the national audit office, if we get a no—deal brexit next march. the government said if there is no deal, the border will be less than optimal. the priority at the uk's newly—enforced borders will be traffic flow and security. the national audit office's latest report says there is a risk that 11 to scratch by the day we exit the eu on the 29th of march, and infrastructure to track goods coming in and out will not be built before then. if the government concentrates

on traffic flow and security, and custom controls are not enforced, organised criminals may exploit weakness. the risks and patterns of movement through the border will not change on day one. over time, organised criminals could take advantage of any weaknesses in the regime that it perceives. that could mean it is easier for goods to be smuggled into the country without paying the customs duty and it could be easier for people to be trafficked into the country. the government says it's recruiting around 600 border force officers, but the nao points out that in the last three years, border force staff numbers have been cut by 7%, and it says there is a risk that new recruits cannot be deployed before march. andy verity, bbc news. an official visit by the duchess of sussex to a market in fiji has been cut short because of security concerns caused by large crowds. royal officials say they weren't

expecting the market in the capital to be so busy. earlier, in herfirst speech of the tour, meghan shared a personal message about the value of education. our royal correspondent jonny dymond is there. we are we a re halfway we are halfway through this four country royal trip but this is wednesday, both the duke and the dutch are here carrying out royal engagements and this is the first time since she was married that the duchess of sussex has been carrying out engagements by herself. whilst the duke was laying a wreath at a war memorial and giving is beat at the opening part of the queen's company, she was speaking about the importance of university education, speaking of her struggle to pay for higher education and speaking about something very close to heart, women's and girls‘ rights something very close to heart, women‘s and girls‘ rights and the importance of education to women and girls. everyone should be afforded opportunity to receive the education

that they want but more importantly the education that they have the right to receive. for women and girls in developing countries, this is vital. providing them with access to education is the key to economic and social development. because when girls are given the right tools to succeed, we can create incredible futures, not only for themselves, but for all of those around them. from the university she went off to the municipal market, but one small controversy, she was expected to spend 15 minutes there but she made a rather hurried trip around the stalls. the palace said that far more people had turned out than expected and there were some concerns about the security from our police officers and from the fiji insecurity. so that was a rather brief trip but people were really disappointed that they did not get much time to spend with her. they are having the afternoon off in fiji and able to another part of the island tomorrow morning, and they

will go on to tonga. the us says it‘s revoking the visas of 21 saudi officials it suspects to be involved in the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi. the saudi kingdom has provided conflicting accounts of what happened to mr khashoggi, seen here entering the consulate for the last time. donald trump has called the saudi response to the murder "the worst cover—up ever". they had a very bad original concept. it was carried out poorly, and the cover—up was one of the worst in the history of cover—ups. it‘s very simple. bad deal, should never have been thought of. somebody really messed up. and they had the worst cover—up ever. the bbc has seen new evidence that china is building a vast network of detention camps for muslims in its north—western region of xinjiang. there are claims that as many as a million muslims from the uighur community are being held indefinitely. the chinese government denies the allegations and says people

are willingly attending "vocational schools" which combat "terrorism and religious extremism". more than 8,000 female council workers across glasgow are striking for a second day as part of a walkout over equal pay. the action has led to the closure of hundreds of schools. the council says it hopes to agree a settlement in the coming months. calls to the national gambling helpline have increased by almost a third over the last five years according to figures seen by bbc yorkshire. nearly 30,000 calls were made by gamblers to the helpline in the last year according to gam—care, the charity that runs it. the government says it‘s taking decisive action to ensure the most vulnerable people in society are protected from gambling—related harm. thousands of people have had to leave their homes as powerful hurricane willa continues to bare down on the western coast of mexico. authorities have ordered the closure of all businesses in some areas after a warning for winds of more than 120 miles an hour. here‘s our north america

correspondent peter bowes. giant waves crash onto the shores of some of mexico‘s best—known tourist destinations. willa is one of the most dangerous storms to hit the country in recent years. popular resorts like puerto vallarta and mazatlan lie in the hurricane‘s path. the army‘s been brought in to help keep people safe, but local officials fear the worst, telling residents not to venture out. many visitors have been evacuated from their hotels to shelters. we didn‘t even know it was going to be a hurricane, we thought it was just going to be a storm. and when we checked in, they said it looks like it‘s going to be a three to five category hurricane. so we were just like, wow, it was kind of freaking us out. willa is weakening now, but the worst could still be to come. the authorities expect the storm surge will bring extensive flooding and destruction. and destruction over a vast area. peter bowes, bbc news. if you happen to live

in the countryside and you‘ve been hearing some unexplainable sounds recently, we might have the answer for you. have a look at this. all yell and groan these people are pretending to be red deer in the hope that rutting stags will return their calls. it‘s called bolving and it‘s being turned into an autumn activity on moors across england. here‘s the noise they‘re trying to make — judge for yourself. loud groaning it sounds just like how i feel waking up at 3:1i0am in the morning!

waking up at 32403”! in the morning! i made that noise during one of our interviews last week. the due? who did we have maesteg? i agreed with something that someone said and! agreed with something that someone said and i need a loud groaning noise. i cannot believe that is the real activity! we need that activity in oui’ activity! we need that activity in our lives! it went well forjuventus last night. yes, but i think manchester united fa ns yes, but i think manchester united fans will be very disappointed. coming up against the big european heavyweight you want to put on a show and they did not do that last night. struggling to get out of the group now. great night for cristiano ronaldo, bad night forjose mourinho. yes, cristiano ronaldo made a winning return to manchester united.

dybala had the only goal of the game. the italian champions juventus beat manchester united 1—0. it was a much better night for the blue half of manchester. city beat shakthar donetsk 3—0 in ukraine to leave them top of their group. england‘s cricketers suffered their heaviest ever defeat in one day cricket, losing to sri lanka by 219 runs in the final odi match of the series, which england had already won. and caroline wozniacki beat petra kvitova for the first time in four years at the season—ending wta finals. that got her challenge back on track after defeat in her opening round robin match. still plenty of tennis to come. thank you, john. you will hang around. we will get the weather with carol shortly. come on, step. around. we will get the weather with carolshortly. come on, step. if around. we will get the weather with carol shortly. come on, step. if you listen carefully you can hear steph‘s heels on the floor. listen carefully you can hear steph's heels on the floor. michael

flatley! let us look at the front page of the times. it features a photo ofjamal khashoggi‘s son meeting the saudi prince. the paper quotes president trump‘s description of the case as "one of the worst cover—ups in the history of cover—ups". the daily mail leads with a story we brought to you yesterday about the soaring number of takeaway shops said to be fuelling the obesity crisis. it also carries a picture of meghan markle at a reception in fiji yesterday. the daily telegraph says a leading uk businessman has been granted an injunction preventing the paperfrom revealing allegations of sexual harassment and racial abuse made against him. its headline describes the case as the "british #metoo scandal which cannot be revealed". there is a long explanation about nondisclosure agreements in that. and a story we‘re bringing you this morning leads on the front page of the financial times — the paper says the government plans

to charter ships to bring in food and medicines in the event of a no—deal brexit. there has been reaction about that and the government denies that is the case. and the story that is gaining momentum this morning is meghan markle‘s first speech on the pacific royal tour — this image is from an australian news website. she‘s been speaking to college students in fiji and had this inspirational message for them. the journey of higher education is an incredible, impactful and pivotal one. i am also fully aware of the challenges of being able to afford this level of schooling for many people around the world. myself included. it was through scholarships, financial aid programmes and work study, where my earnings on a job on campus went directly towards my tuition, that i was able to attend university. and without question, it was worth every effort. everyone should be afforded the opportunity to receive education that they want, but more important the education they have the right to

receive and for women and girls in developing countries, this is vital. providing them with access to education is the key to economic and social development, because when girls are given the right tools to succeed, they can create incredible futures, not only for themselves, but for all of those around them. futures, not only for themselves, but for all of those around themlj think she was given two minutes to speak. and she was very incisive, direct... she did not have long at all. she did a very good job and it is making headlines around the world. exactly. just to give you an update on something we spoke about yesterday. we talked about the pa rents of yesterday. we talked about the parents of natasha who were meeting michael gove yesterday. in response to that meeting, he has been talking about it and said that stricter food labelling laws prompted by the death of natasha could be in place as early as next summer, that is according to her appearance. michael gove said it was an honour to meet her parents and said we have been

working at peace with the food standards agency and businesses to change current labelling laws and they are looking at proposals to change the law at the turn of the year. what have you got for us, steph? lots of analysis. there is a mr bee from people about what the chancellor might do and what it might mean for them. technology companies have warned that they might pull out investment in the uk. so this is one of the ideas to try to get more money from the multinational companies, including facebook, amazon and uber and the likes. they have written to the chancellor to say that if you do that, we might have to retaliate. presidents comp, he is mentioned, saying that if you go hard on american companies, he might retaliate. so there are a few threads doing the rounds. but we

will have to read and see if that happens or not or other they will look at getting more money. to try and do the budget in this type of timeframe. it is difficult. yes, there are many million unknowns.- least! john, is it all manchester united and jose mourinho and cristiano ronaldo? yes, the team bus got stuck in traffic. that has happened before! yes. surely they must know that can happen. what time did they leave? it took over one hour. why did they not walk? they remained in the bus. so it was jose mourinho who walk? they remained in the bus. so it wasjose mourinho who got off the

bus and walked alongside the fans. what a revolutionary thing that would be, are they all walked. but there would security issues. man of there would security issues. man of the people. would you like to see an ice shelf? this is a proper shell. have a look at this. the skill, how why do you think that is? it is a mile wide. it is a perfect rectangle with sharp sites. the iceberg roses rectangular shape and laptop because it has broken off of the antarctic ice shelf. in time the weather and erosion will hack it away. that picture was taken by nasa. amazing. one mile wide and even longer. and elephants content, — this one mile wide and even longer. and elephants content,— this morning. all animals probably can. you say that, but this is an elephant with

the ability to play games on a giant ta blet the ability to play games on a giant tablet computer that demonstrates it mathematic ability of species. answer a number of the medical questions and picked up fruit by tapping her trunk the screen. it shows that asian elephants are much closer to humans and other animals. in terms of the mathematical intelligence. i was wonder about people that come up with these ideas. let us find out if an elephant can count. would you like to know how much it costs the... where are we? i do not know what thatis where are we? i do not know what that is but i will find out. the university of advanced studies in japan, they put the money. they i think there is cold weather on the way? yes, it is going to turn much

colder. today will be mostly dry, but there is a fair bit of cloud in the west and that is producing some drizzle. high pressure is keeping things very settled. the south and the east is favourite for some sunshine. all the weather fronts are going around that area of high pressure. low cloud in western scotland, northern ireland and western fringes of the uk and we will see patchy, light rain in the north and west with drizzle elsewhere. for the south and east we are looking at sunny spells. this afternoon patchy, light rain and drizzle in western scotland. in aberdeen and fife there is fine sunshine. in north—west england and southwest scotland a bit more cloud. we are back into sunny skies in the south east, the midlands and east anglia and up to the north—east as

well. this evening and overnight we see more rain coming in across the north west of scotland, still quite breezy as well. more cloud than last night, but where we have clear sky it is where we will see the low temperatures, particularly in rural areas. there may be a little bit of mist around tonight and also tomorrow night in the far south—west. heading on through the day on thursday it is significant because we have got this weather front coming in. this chart runs until three o‘clock in the afternoon. behind this we will see cold aircoming in afternoon. behind this we will see cold air coming in and the wind will switch and sub arctic air will come our way. you can see some blue appearing in the chart. still mild air in the southern areas. that weather front still producing a fair bit of rain in the north west of scotland. ahead of it there is quite a bit of cloud around. some

sunshine, but temperatures down on today. today we could see 16 or 17 and tomorrow it will be 13 or 1a. by the time we get to friday the whether france will have made it all the way down to the south. there will be a lot of sunshine around, but noticed the wind. the wind is coming down from the arctic, so we will see a lot of showers on the posts, but some will make it inland. some showers will be wintry, for example in the grampians. although it is 7-9 example in the grampians. although it is 7—9 in the north, with the wind chill it will feel much colder than that. in some parts of scotland it will feel more like freezing. thank you, you have been warning us for a couple of days. we all want to look and feel our best, but more and more people in the uk are putting their health at risk by turning to black market websites to buy treatments,

only to find they are fake. counterfeit medicine worth two million pounds was seized in the uk during one week this month as part of a crackdown on unregulated sales. breakfast was given exclusive access to police raids targeting sellers, as jayne mccubbin reports. police, can you come to the front door, please. the pot was white and it had like a printed label on it and it said "slimming pills". no label of dosage or any of that. no guidance? nothing, nothing at all. i don't remember caring whatsoever what was in them. i was only interested in would it make me thin? alexia represents a growing number of people who have turned to the internet to buy illicit medication, a trade which is being targeted in this early morning raid. we have been given exclusive access by the medicines and health care products regulatory agency. officers are searching this property after finding illegal pills being sold on the dark web. these are non—genuine products.

if there are people buying them online and if there are people taking them, then they are putting their health at risk. it is as simple as that. today one man is arrested but during one week of action this month, mhra officers seized over 1 million pills, inspected 22 postal hubs, seizing over 700 parcels, shutting down over 120 websites. i'm going to show you roughly what we found in his bedroom. these are all unlicensed medicines. these are already to go. these are all ready to go. these are all loose. what are they? it could be anything. in a warehouse outside london, the nhra show us crate upon crate of seized pills. some have no active ingredients, some far too much, others licensed for sale overseas but not here because of health risks. what are people buying? they buy all sorts of things but i suppose primarily it is what we call lifestyle products. diet pills, erectile dysfunction. and there are some really convincing

adverts and they‘re for things like this, like diet pills? yes, and there is always advice to women about miracle cures to lose weight or do anything. if it is too good to be true, that is exactly what it will be. and the health risk are real as alexia found out after spending years on slimming pills without knowing anything of their content. i was definitely very hooked on them. i would faint quite a lot, i had problems with heartbreak, i had problems with heart rate, but i have also had problems with my bowel. back on the raid officers have traced the pill business back to a lock—up. we found a number of the sealed bags and this bag does contain a couple of thousand. the vast majority of these are slimming and anti—anxiety pills with a value of several hundred thousand pounds. all sold without prescription and without the buyer knowing anything of their real contents or their real impact.

people who are ordering these things have got no idea what these medicines contain, whether they contain the active ingredient that support the medical condition, whether it could worsen their medical condition. but what we do know is they are paying for it. and these criminals have got total disregard for public safety and health. they are only interested in one thing, which is making money. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. some very serious warnings in that and we will be talking to a doctor about it later. there are all sorts of cases of people taking things and finding out what is in it. it is dangerous as well. you‘re watching breakfast from bbc news. still to come this morning... britain‘s most decorated female olympian, dame katherine grainger, and five—time paralympic champion hannah cockroft will be here to talk about what help‘s available for elite athletes when they retire from sport. time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. it is not a soft option because we expect women to face what has happened to them in their line that has led up to their offending behaviour and we have to talk about the consequences of the crime. arsenal has planted more than 2000 trees as part of efforts to become more eco—friendly. the club switch to green electricity last year and it says it has helped to cut emissions in the stadium with an three times over. let‘s take a look at the travel situation. there are minor delays on the circle line as well as on the hammersmith and city line. there is disruption on south—western railway services because of a track circuit failure. turning to the roads, in paddington craven road is closed in both

directions between westbourne terrace and gloucester terrace because of surfacing works. in barns there are temporary traffic lights for water works. now the weather. it is not feeling quite as cheap as morning compared to yesterday. a bit of cloud coming and going today, but some pleasant autumn sunshine to enjoy. we have got the clouds thinking south through the morning, but it is high and then and it will break up, turning hazy from time to time. this afternoon temperatures getting up to 16. overnight stardom of clear than a pound of cloud was loosing southwards. thick cloud, but it introduces slightly cooler air, so chilly start as we into thursday. temperatures around about five or six. on thursday some bright spells and temperatures around 1a. but overnight a cold front thinks south

and it introduces much colder air. getting colder towards friday and it looks like we will wake up to a cold and frosty start to the weekend. a chilly day on saturday with the potential for a few showers. i am backin potential for a few showers. i am back in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. it‘s 6:30am. we‘ll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning... charlie‘s been to meetjane fonda ahead of the re—release of the film 9 to 5. they talk about the #metoo movement, plastic surgery and donald trump. also this morning, we‘ve been given exclusive access to police investigations as the regulatory body responsible for medications says more dangerous substances are being bought and sold online than ever before. and after nine, we‘ll go on a journey into the uk‘s

manufacturing past. steph will be here to tell us about her new bbc series, made in great britain. good morning, here‘s a summary of today‘s main stories from bbc news... there are warnings of queues, delays and criminal gang activity at the uk‘s borders, if britain leaves the european union without a deal. a report from the government watchdog, the national audit office, says complicated new border controls may not be ready by the end of march. it‘s emerged the government will urge ferry and freight companies to plan alternative routes if a no—deal brexit blocks cross—channel traffic. let‘s get more on the government‘s advice on contingency plans for ferry operators. our political correspondent, ben wright, is in westminster. ben, the prime minister will have to face questions on this at a tense meeting of backbench mps later?

you really get the sense that we‘re getting to the absolute crunch moment here. the realisation of the consequences of a node you are dawning across whitehall and the tory party, if that in fact happened. yesterday, the cabinet discussed what they would have to do at the port of calais got completely bunged up in the event of a no deal and how the uk would get supplies of food and medicine across the channel if there was no deal. today, the national audit office is warning that the uk simply does not have the border staff or the infrastructure to call if there is a no deal. and the tory party are really worried about theresa may‘s plans for trying to solve the northern irish border. problems are sort of piling up for the prime minister as we get water to the moment of decision. the uk is out of the eu within five months and

these are some of the questions that these are some of the questions that the tory party will be quizzing her on, her own mps, when she meets them in parliament later. there has been speculation that she could be in trouble and that they might want to bring forward a vote of no—confidence. i do not think that is likely at all, but she is clearly a prime minister under considerable pressure at the moment. thank you very much indeed for that. we will return to the story later. an official visit by the duchess of sussex to a market in fiji has been cut short because of security concerns caused by large crowds. she had been expected to spend longer meeting people at the market, on what was her first solo engagement of the trip. earlier, in herfirst speech of the tour, meghan shared a personal message about the value of education. us president donald trump has called saudi arabia‘s response to the murder ofjournalist jamal khashoggi "the worst cover—up ever". the saudi kingdom has provided conflicting accounts of what happened to khashoggi — seen here entering the consulate for the last time. secretary of state mike pompeo said that the us "will punish those responsible" and is revoking visas

of 21 identified suspects. two babies with spina bifida have had their spines repaired by surgeons while still in the womb. the operations, which are the first of their kind in the uk, were carried out by 30 doctors at university college hospital in london. the babies‘ spinal cords had failed to develop properly. the condition is usually treated after birth, but the earlier it‘s repaired, the better it is for long—term health and mobility. incredible, 30 doctors involved in the operation. the bbc has seen new evidence that china is building a vast network of detention camps for muslims in its north—western region of xinjiang. there are claims that as many as a million muslims from the uighur community are being held indefinitely. the chinese government denies the allegations and says people are willingly attending "vocational schools" which combat "terrorism and religious extremism". thousands of people have had to leave their homes as powerful

hurricane willa continues to bare down on the western coast of mexico. authorities have ordered the closure of all businesses in some areas after a warning for winds of more than 120 miles an hour. willa is one of the most dangerous storms to hit the country in recent years. at least 20 russian football fans have been hurt after an escalator ran out of control at a metro station in rome. local media is reporting that many people suffered leg injuries. the station was full of moscow fans headed towards rome‘s olympic stadium to watch a champions league match. i have seen the footage on social media of the escalator going down. it is awful to watch. yes, horrific story. police in blackpool have launched a manhunt for this alleged thief who bares a striking resemblance to the actor david schwimmer who played ross in the 90s sitcom friends.

just to be clear, the person they are looking for is on the left! the force shared a cctv image of the man, who‘s accused of stealing a crate of beer. their online appeal has received over 50,000 comedy responses. apparently, within minutes, so many people got on touch on facebook with posts inspired by friends. should we read some? this is from net, i do not think this has been the state‘s day, week or month or even this year. yes, it is was like you are stuck in second gear. it goes on and on. the police response has said that they can confirm that david was in america on this date. there is no update, people are sending these responses but there is no update that they have actually found him. responses but there is no update that they have actually found himlj love the idea that we rang david‘s agent. could you be in blackpool?

no. one of those bizarre calls that you have to make. let us find out what is happening in sport this morning, john. yes very interesting, jose millie newall lucky to make it to the ground. but no debate that everyone was there to see cristiano ronaldo thing forjuventus. was there to see cristiano ronaldo thing for juventus. he was there to see cristiano ronaldo thing forjuventus. he moved to them in the summer. juventus won 1—0. no goal but ronaldo played his part in juve‘s 1—0 win. it was a much easier night for manchester city who beat shakhtar donetsk 3—0. asjoe lynskey reports. sometimes the noise can be intimidating at old trafford, not for cristiano ronaldo. at the place where he became a superstar, this was no away match, more a homecoming. while he‘s in the team, juventus are among the champions league favourites. his contribution is not always a goal—scoring one. here, ronaldo‘s cross set up paulo dybala‘s finish. he‘s the argentinian striker

learning in his shadow. for the home fans, this might have reminded them of how it used to be. but at times, ronaldo‘s presence showed how far united have fallen behind. only david de gea stopped him scoring a breathtaking goal, while paul pogba, a formerjuve player himself, went closest to a leveller. united once beatjuventus on the way to winning the treble, but this was yet a another night for a rethink. there was only one man at home in these surroundings. manchester city went nearly 2000 miles to get their three points. david silva made it worth it for the hardy ones. their manager says they‘re not ready to win the champions league yet, but their three goals in ukraine got him suitably excited. beating shakhtar sent them top of the group and with this kind of quality, city are certain to be challengers, whatever anyone says. joe lynskey, bbc news. we said that mourinho walked

to the ground last night because the bus got stuck in traffic and here he is, flanked by security. the team bus took over an hour to make the half—milejourney, mourinho chose to walk with the fans instead. he isjust at he is just at the front, that picture is taken from behind. he is flanked by security. amazing, we have really captured that!|j flanked by security. amazing, we have really captured that! i think you might have done a betterjob just describing it! i could probably have found that from here after two defeats, spurs take on the dutch champions psv eindhoven tonight. while liverpool are in a slightly better position, second in their group with three points, they‘re at home to the serbian champions red star belgrade. hearts beat dundee 3—0 to move six points clear at the top of the scottish premiership.

whilejordan rhodes scored twice as norwich beat aston villa 2—1 to hand john terry and manager dean smith their first defeat since the duo took over earlier this month. from the best in the world to anything but — england suffered their heaviest defeat in one—day cricket, losing to sri lanka in the final game of the series. england‘s bowling and fielding was poor, and sri lanka scored freely, posting 366. the reply was equally dismal — they were 4 for 3 at one stage — and when rain forced them off for good, they lost by 219 runs. they still won the series 3—1. the defending champion caroline wozniacki is back in contention at the wta finals in singapore, where the top eight women‘s players are competing for a multi—million pound prize fund. she lost her opening round—robin match but she then beat petra kvitova for the first time in four years. she said she was pleased with how she kept cool in her three—set win. with the increasing number of injuries in rugby union, breaks will be introduced in the season to protect players. the campaign will start sooner and end later

to spread out matches, with players limited to playing a maximum of 35 games. finally, no doubt who the star attraction was at old trafford last night... ..illustrated by one or two fans who tried to get a selfie. this one apprehended but ronaldo took pity on him and posed for a selfie — he even took the picture. was it worth it? he is probably banned for life from the ground now. thank you for that. see you later. a group of mums are going to westminster today to give their views on the new benefit system universal credit. what‘s this all about, steph? this is all about universal credit. the idea is that it will replace six

individual income benefits that we have at the moment like child benefit and income support and they will all come under one brief essentially. when this was first announced, the aim was to make it all more lucrative to be back at work than to actually be on benefits, and one key part of it is that when you get a job, your payments do not just that when you get a job, your payments do notjust suddenly stop, they slowly reduce overtime, that was one of the key elements of this. the idea is that if you are in work you are better off than being on benefits. so what is the problem? it has been really controversial, there have been problems with the it system of just even have been problems with the it system ofjust even getting the thing rolled out in the first place and that has meant delays for people‘s payments. the bigger issue is the impact it could have on families. so there is analysis has been done and what it would mean for families and it has been worked out that there is an estimate of 3

million working families that would be worse off under the universal credit system, and the charities like save the children who are supporting lots of parents who are going to talk to mps about this today. they are worried about things like, for example, you could end up having to pay for your childcare costs upfront when you start work, which for a lot of people they do not have a lot of money, that is one of the things they are worried about. we spoke to one of the mothers who is going to westminster today. she has a two—year—old son and was going to go back to work but has worked out she will be worse off under this new system. this is what she had to say. i applied for a job, i got it, i was offered at, that is when everything fell apart. essentially i did what

is known that the better of calculation, the salad on offer was 32,000, and just after my rent, council tax and childcare bill of £1500 a month, we would have been left with £60 for everything else. so that is what, £2 each day? what is the response of the government? the government has said that there have been problems with this roll—out and because of that they will delay it across the country. we have also said that they have set aside £3 billion to ease the process to stop anyone losing out initially as the two systems change. but they have faced a lot of criticism from this. they have said that they are looking at how they can make changes to the system, for example, making it faster to get the first payment through, but this is why the work and pensions secretary esther mcvey had to say about it. i have changed the system to provide extra support for those with severe disabilities, extra housing support for 18 to 21 vulnerable young adults, kinship ca re rs vulnerable young adults, kinship carers and working with colleagues to identify areas that we can do more improvements. so they are accepting that there will be losers, but clearly, when you hear stories like that women‘s...

but clearly, when you hear stories like that women's. .. you would assume that... she has done the maths and she has... that is why they are going with these mothers to support them. a lot of the numbers do not fully worked out for people. others would tell you that it is better to be in work in the longer term and that you will be better off. but the initial impact for people is going to be tough for some. thank you very much for that, steph. thank you find out what is happening with the weather. it is going to turn colder, but first we have a mostly dry day. some of us will see sunshine as high pressure continues to dominate our weather. you can see the weather front floating around at the top of the high pressure. still windy in the high pressure. still windy in the far north of scotland, but a

fair bit of sunshine. it will be a chilly start this morning. in the west there will be more cloud with the odd spot of rain. still fairly patchy across the north and west of scotland. temperatures ranging from about 12 in the north to maybe 16 or 17 in the south. visibility in the north—west is down to about 100 metres because of the fog. overnight there will be more cloud than they mightjust gone. in rural areas the temperatures will be lower and at the same time we have got some rain starting to come in in the west of scotland. that is courtesy of the weather front which is quite significant in that it will bring some heavy rain. behind it as it sta rts some heavy rain. behind it as it starts to sink southwards through thursday and into friday it will

turn colder. on thursday here are the first signs of the rain coming in with more cloud in the south and east where we have had clear skies of late. nonetheless, there will be sunny spells as well. today‘s top temperature is 16 or 17, by tomorrow it will be 13 or 1a. it does not get better because we have got yellow indicating the mild temperature and blue indicating the colder weather coming our way into thursday and friday. it pushes right across the country. the wind is coming down from the arctic, so no wonder it will feel cold. this is the weather front sinking away onto the near continent taking its cloud and patchy rain with it. we are prone to showers particularly around the coast. some of those showers on the hills of the grampians could be snow

and down to about 400 metres at the end of friday night. some showers make it inland, some in the north will be heavy with hail and thunder. you will field the draft at the weekend because the double figures will not stay there. while great britain‘s athletes have achieved a flurry of olympic and paralympic success since london 2012, the prospect of retirement can also mean facing up to an uncertain future. the athlete futures network was launched by uk sport to help competitors explore their career options. britain‘s most decorated female olympian, dame katherine grainger, and five time paralympic champion, hannah cockroft, are here to tell us more. good morning. lovely to see you. where did you first identified this as being an issue that you needed to address? it has been going on ever since funding came into olympic and

paralympic sport. i started in the 90s, a long time ago, and even though you could access money that would help you study or get career development, it has always been there, but every year it has developed and got bigger. give us an idea of how difficult it can be for athletes. you are in this incredible environment and suddenly when it comes to an end what is it like?m is great that it is talked about much more now. it is not that you finish your career, and everyone knows as an athlete it will stop at some point, but it is how you are defined and how people see you and it gives you a purpose in life and it gives you a purpose in life and it gives you a purpose in life and it gives you a natural group around you of support. all that ends almost overnight and that can be really disconcerting and isolating. even if you know when you want to stop and you know when you want to stop and you stop on your own terms, that change into a normal life is hard. how concerned are you about what

happens when you stop racing? how concerned are you about what happens when you stop racing ?m how concerned are you about what happens when you stop racing? it is a bit ofa happens when you stop racing? it is a bit of a worry. we are in a privileged position in that we do not have a job and we go out every day and we love what we do and it is a fantastic way to live. but you have to start planning for this early. some athletes say, i have won these medals and it will carry you on for life. but as a paralympian thatis on for life. but as a paralympian that is not the case. so to have this and make sure that we are thinking about the next step, i have not got wrong in this sport, what will i do next? it is a massive help because it does notjust drop you will i do next? it is a massive help because it does not just drop you at the end and leave you wondering what you are going to do. have you got any particular thing that you would like to do? i want yourjob! you would be brilliant at it. we have to be honest about that. we can swap places. i can stay here and you can go to the athlete richard.

how long have i got?|j you can go to the athlete richard. how long have i got? i at least want to get to tokyo. thank you. i am happy to mentor you if you seriously wa nt happy to mentor you if you seriously want myjob. happy to mentor you if you seriously want my job. that would be amazing. that is a done deal. would that be a good way to move from one thing to another? it depends what you are interested in. iwanted another? it depends what you are interested in. i wanted to move into sport and when i looked at going to university i did not want to do sport day in and day out and then it became my life. i did a lot of media work after london 2012 and i fell in love with being in front of the camera and having an opinion and thatis camera and having an opinion and that is when i decided this is what i want to do. it is about chasing that now and i went to university and did a journalism degree. you have to start thinking about it early, and put the pieces in place

and build that up. many athletes have made that pathway from competing in commentating and presenting and many have done it successfully. i am sure you will be the next one. but there are others. we spoke to gay lambs who won an olympic silver medal and then almost felt that was her gateway into the rest of her life. she was quite honest about it. she had financial difficulty and had real stresses finding out what to do when the sport came to an end. yes, she is coming along. athletes learn from each other. you are always learning and developing and finding better ways of doing it and so many athletes have gone through the process and come at the other side. some have done it brilliantly and so have found an easy path forward and some have not planned it early

enough. it is never too early. nothing is in place and you find yourself at the end of it even if yourself at the end of it even if you are successful, you find yourself a bit lost. you have done extremely well. thank you both very much indeed. we will be in touch. so, i have got until 2021? sorted. nine to five, a film starring jane fonda, dolly parton and lily tomlin, is about a group of female secretaries who decide to get revenge on their sexist boss. it may have been released almost 40 years ago but it‘s never been more relevant than it is today. so relevant in fact that it‘s being re—released. charlie‘s been to meetjane fonda to find out more. if we are going to do this, why don‘t we make changes that really count? we are talking about 95. this

is 1980 when you make the movie, what did you think you were making? what i thought i was making was exactly what i made. during the previous decade in the 70s i became friends with a woman whose dayjob was she had been active in the anti—vietnam war movement and she was an organiser of women office workers and she would tell me every timei workers and she would tell me every time i saw her these awful story is about what women office workers were going through. eventually i said i wa nt to going through. eventually i said i want to make a movie about this.” am nota want to make a movie about this.” am not a girl, i am a woman. do you hear me? i am not your wife or your mother or even your mistress. i am your employee and as such i expect to be treated equally with a little dignity and a little respect. to be treated equally with a little dignity and a little respectm to be treated equally with a little dignity and a little respect. it is extraordinary in so many ways. all this time has passed and yet, i can

see by your reaction... worse in america. a lot of the people who work in offices are subcontracted. they are contract workers and they are hired by another company that contract them out. so where do you go when there is a problem? of sexual harassment or wage theft or whatever? one of the things i have been reading about is your comment about the life you have led and your extraordinary honesty. for example, plastic surgery, and you have been really open about that. really open is just saying i really open about that. really open isjust saying i have had plastic surgery. you cannot be useful to people if you do not tell the truth. how do you reflect on that?” people if you do not tell the truth. how do you reflect on that? i grew up how do you reflect on that? i grew up in the 50s and i was judged according to how i look. i am not proud that i succumbed to having plastic surgery. i wish i was braver. but i am not that brave.

very interesting time coming up with the midterms. are you actively involved in politics? yes, as soon asigo involved in politics? yes, as soon as i go back i will go to michigan with henson and we are going to michigan to motivate and inspire african—american people all around michigan to vote. i am so scared i can hardly breathe when i think about it. this is the most important election in my lifetime and it is not even the presidential election. but the democrats have to win back the house or it is going to be terrible. what do you make of some people‘s analysis of mr trump? the people‘s analysis of mr trump? the people who voted for him and liked him most like him more now than before. all the times he says things that some people, possibly you, are offended by, they rally round more. what do you make of that? there is a sizeable part of the united states

thatis sizeable part of the united states that is racist. and misogynist. and a lot of people that are very, very scared and angry and they are hurting. these are people in the middle of the country who used to have unionjobs. middle of the country who used to have union jobs. for those middle of the country who used to have unionjobs. for those people who are angry and scared i can understand that appeals to them, but they are definitely the minority. so if we get a lot of people to vote, we will win because they are the minority. lovely to meet you, thank you very much. nice to meet you. oh how wonderful to hearfrom you very much. nice to meet you. oh how wonderful to hear from jane fonda. iam how wonderful to hear from jane fonda. i am a big fan of hers. that was the shorter version, we have the longer version after eight o‘clock. nine to five is being re—released as part of the bfi ccomedy genius season at venues across the uk. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news.

the conservative candidate for mayor of london, shaun bailey, has apologised for the first time about comments he made about ethnic minority communities. in a leaflet in 2005 he wrote that muslim and hindu festivals could rob britain of its community and could see us slip into a crime ridden cesspool. at an eventin into a crime ridden cesspool. at an event in islington last night he said he was sorry if he caused offence and has been speaking to a former youth worker about the lives of the poorest londoners. a project in surrey which is proving effective at cutting offending rates for women has been rolled out across the county. it focuses on rehabilitation within the community. those behind it say it recognises many who offend are vulnerable as a result of previous trauma, abuse or mental health problems. it has

helped me realise how to deal with things, to try and prevent this kind of thing from happening. it is not a soft option because we expect women to actually face what has happened to actually face what has happened to them in their lives that has led up to them in their lives that has led up to their offending behaviour and we have to talk about the consequences of the crime. arsenal football clu b consequences of the crime. arsenal football club has planted more than 2000 trees as part of efforts to be more eco—friendly. this switch to green electricity last year which it says has helped to cut co2 emissions, equivalent to filling the emirates stadium more than three times over. the travel situation and there is a good service on all the underground lines this morning. disruption on south western railway services because of a track circuit failure. in dagenham a car has caught fire, so it is very slow into town. in

barns there are temporary traffic lights at the junction with lonsdale road for water mains work. now the weather with kate. it is not feeling quite as chilly out there this morning compared to yesterday. we will have a little bit of cloud coming and going, but some pleasa nt of cloud coming and going, but some pleasant autumn sunshine to enjoy. we have got cloud syncing south through the morning, but it is high and then and it will break up, turning the sunshine hazy. this afternoon temperatures getting up to around 16 celsius. overnight starter of clear then a band of cloud will slowly sink south. fairly thick cloud, but it introduces cooler air. the chilly start as we head into thursday. thursday is largely cloudy and we will see some thundercloud and we will see some thundercloud and bright spells, temperatures around 14. but overnight a cold

front sink south and it introduces colder air, so getting chilly towards friday. we will be waking up towards friday. we will be waking up toa towards friday. we will be waking up to a cold and frosty start to the weekend. a potential for to a cold and frosty start to the weekend. a potentialfor showers on saturday. i am weekend. a potentialfor showers on saturday. iam back weekend. a potentialfor showers on saturday. i am back in half an hour. good morning welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today... warnings of queues, delays and increased criminal activity at the uk‘s borders, in the event of a no—deal brexit, according to a government watchdog. the crackdown on sales of illegal medicine — we‘re given exclusive access to early morning raids — with officers seizing over a million pills in a single week. a visit by the duchess of sussex to a market in fiji is cut short because of concerns about security. earlier in herfirst speech of the tour,

she shared a personal message about the value of education. when girls are given the right tools to succeed, they can create incredible futures, not only for themselves, but for all of those around them. good morning. families against universal credit. parents are heading to westminster to tell mps they‘ll actually be worse off under the controversial new benefit system. cristiano ronaldo makes a winning return to old trafford and there‘s a warm reception from the manchester united fans, depsite defeat in the champions league. jane fonda tells us about what‘s acceptable behaviour in today‘s workplace as she prepares for the re—release of the classic movie 9 to 5. if you said to me, "do you want to go to bed?" or if you want to finish this interview, i have to sleep with you, that would be inappropriate, but saying i look good, thank you very much, i appreciate that. good morning. we have some fault this morning across the south—west of england with poor of this other

—— visibility. so take care. the south and east will get sunny spells. it is turning colderfor south and east will get sunny spells. it is turning colder for the next few days. more later. good morning it‘s wednesday the 24th of october. our top story. there are warnings of queues, delays and criminal gang activity at the uk‘s borders, if britain leaves the european union without a deal. a report from the government watchdog, the national audit office, says complicated new border controls may not be ready by the end of march. it‘s emerged the government will urge ferry and freight companies to plan alternative routes if a no—deal brexit blocks cross—channel traffic. here‘s our economics correspondent, andy verity. this is how easily goods flow into and out of the country now. and this is what might happen to the m20, according to the government and the national audit office, if we get a no—deal brexit next march. the government said if there is no deal, the border will be less than optimal.

the priority at the uk‘s newly—enforced borders will be traffic flow and security. but what does less than optimal mean? the national audit office‘s latest report says there is a risk that 11 out of 12 critical systems needed to manage the border will not be up to scratch by the day we exit the eu on the 29th of march, and infrastructure to track goods coming in and out will not be built before then. if the government concentrates on traffic flow and security, and custom controls are not enforced, organised criminals may exploit weakness. the risks and patterns of movement through the border will not change on day one. over time, organised criminals could take advantage of any weaknesses in the regime that it perceives. that could mean it is easier for goods to be smuggled into the country without paying the customs duty and it could be easier for people to be trafficked into the country. the government says it‘s recruiting around 600 border force officers, but the nao points out that in the last three years, border force staff numbers

have been cut by 7%, and it says there is a risk that new recruits cannot be deployed before march. andy verity, bbc news. let‘s get more on the government advice on contingency plans for ferry operators. our political correspondent, ben wright is in westminster. ben, the prime minister will have to face questions on this at a tense meeting of backbench mps later? yes, she will meet conservative backbenchers in parliament earlier this evening to talk about how the brexit negotiations are going. the nerves within the tory party are starting to free at the moment for a number of reasons. firstly, you have it becoming clearer by the day what the consequences of there being a no deal would mean. we had that report from the national audit office. yesterday, the cabinet discussed how the uk might still be able to get enough food and medicines into the country if there was a no deal and

suddenly there are great big tailbacks and cusack cally. there is concern about a no deal growing. there is concern about the type of deal that there could be. many tory mps across the party are concerned about the prime minister‘s plans for ensuring there is no border in northern ireland after brexit and how long britain might be signed up to eu rules after brexit. so one of france, tory mps are jittery and anxious and many are angry with the prime minister. for a few weeks there has been speculation in westminster that she might face a vote of confidence by tory mps, i do not think that‘ll happen at the moment. frankly, there is quite a lot of sympathy for the challenges she is facing, even though many tory mps do not bite the answer she is producing. nevertheless, importing meeting between the prime minister and the tory backbenchers this evening as she tries to swing the parliamentary party behind her. for the moment, thank you. an official visit by the duchess of sussex to a market in fiji has been cut short because of security

concerns caused by large crowds. royal officials say they weren‘t expecting the market to be so busy. earlier, in herfirst speech of the tour, meghan shared a personal message about the value of education. our royal correspondent jonny dymond is there. well, we are halfway through this four—country royal trip but today has been meghan‘s day. they‘re both here, both the duke and the dutchess are here carrying out engagements, but for the first time on this trip, pretty much the first time since she was married, the duchess of sussex has been carrying out engagements by herself. whilst the duke was laying a wreath at the war memorial and giving a speech and opening part of the queen‘s commonwealth canopy, she was out at the university here, speaking about the importance of university education, speaking of her struggle to pay to pay for her education, and speaking about something very close to her heart, womens‘ and girls‘ rights and the importance of education to women and girls. everyone should be afforded the opportunity to receive the education that they want but more importantly the education that they have the right to receive.

for women and girls in developing countries, this is vital. providing them with access to education is the key to economic and social development. because when girls are given the right tools to succeed, they can create incredible futures, not only for themselves, but for all of those around them. from the university she went off to the municipal market, but one small controversy, she was expected to spend around 15 minutes there, but she made a rather hurried trip around the stalls in the end. the palace said that far more people had turned out than expected and there were some concerns about the security from her police officers and from the fiji security. so that was a rather brief trip but people were really disappointed that they did not get much time to spend with her. they are having the afternoon off in fiji and will hop to another part of the island tomorrow morning, and they will go on to tonga. that was our royal correspondent jonny dymond reporting from fiji.

us president donald trump has called saudi arabia‘s response to the murder ofjournalist jamal khashoggi "the worst cover—up ever". the saudi kingdom has provided conflicting accounts of what happened to khashoggi — seen here entering the consulate for the last time. secretary of state mike pompeo said that the us "will punish those responsible" and is revoking visas of 21 identified suspects. they had a very bad original concept. it was carried out poorly, and the cover—up was one of the worst in the history of cover—ups. it's very simple. bad deal, should never have been thought of. somebody really messed up. and they had the worst cover—up ever. the bbc has seen new evidence that china is building a vast network of detention camps for muslims in its north—western region of xinjiang. there are claims that as many as a million muslims from the uighur community

are being held indefinitely. the chinese government denies the allegations and says people are willingly attending "vocational schools" which combat "terrorism and religious extremism". two babies with spina bifida have had their spines repaired by surgeons while still in the womb. the operations, which are the first of their kind in the uk, were carried out by 30 doctors at university college hospital in london. the babies‘ spinal cords had failed to develop properly. the condition is usually treated after birth, but the earlier it‘s repaired, the better it is for long—term health and mobility. calls to the national gambling helpline have increased by almost a third over the last five years, according to figures seen by bbc yorkshire. nearly 30,000 calls were made by gamblers to the helpline in the last year according to gam—care, the charity that runs it. the government says it‘s taking decisive action to ensure the most vulnerable people in society

are protected from gambling—related harm. thousands of people have had to leave their homes as powerful hurricane willa continues to bare down on the western coast of mexico. authorities have ordered the closure of all businesses in some areas after a warning for winds of more than 120 miles an hour. here‘s our north america correspondent peter bowes. giant waves crash onto the shores of some of mexico‘s best—known tourist destinations. willa is one of the most dangerous storms to hit the country in recent years. popular resorts like puerto vallarta and mazatlan lie in the hurricane‘s path. the army‘s been brought in to help keep people safe, but local officials fear the worst, telling residents not to venture out. many visitors have been evacuated from their hotels to shelters. we didn‘t even know it was going to be a hurricane, we thought it was just going to be a storm. and when we checked in, they said it looks like it‘s going to be a three to five category hurricane.

so we were just like, wow, it was kind of freaking us out. willa is weakening now, but the worst could still be to come. the authorities expect the storm surge will bring extensive flooding and destruction over a vast area. peter bowes, bbc news. we told you about lottery fever in america yesterday. at least one person is reported to have won the largest ever lottery jackpot in american history. the mega millions draw — which took place a few hours ago — boasted a jackpot of $1.6 billion dollars, which is around £1.2 billion. officials said a winning ticket was sold in south carolina. the lucky winner will now have the choice of an immediate cash payment or receive the jackpot over the next 29 years. that payment essentially gets bigger

through the years. the first one is $24 million and it is $99 million, the final payment. do you take it upfront or take the full amount.” am an upfront kind of person. you would get a whopping tax bill as well. yes, that is the case in america. if you happen to live in the countryside and you‘ve been hearing some unexplainable sounds recently, we might have the answer for you. have a look at this. they yell and groan these people are pretending to be red deer in the hope that rutting stags will return their calls. it‘s called bolving and it‘s being turned into an autumn activity on moors across england. here‘s the noise they‘re trying to make — judge for yourself.

the poor stags. we might get confused. i think we should try that later. do a bit of bolving. you are welcome to try it. let us talk more about our main story... just how the uk border will work after brexit has been one of the critical points throughout negotiations with the european union. but a report today warns systems that need to be in place may not be ready in time, should britain leave without a deal. joining us now from our london newsroom is tony smith, former director general of the uk border force. thank you very much for coming on this morning and trying to explain this morning and trying to explain this to us. what are the issues?

what is not in place in the event of a no—deal brexit? what is not in place in the event of a no-deal brexit? it is a very thorough report, they have been through all of the departments at whitehall that are preparing for this, they visited airports and ports and essentially they are telling us in this report that we will not be able to do all the things that we want to be able to do by the end of march 2019 and the two big risks are really security in that we might not have access to all of these systems that we have at the moment in eu for security checks and the national crime agency has raised that one. the other is the movement of goods within the eu, custom checks, we we do not require ma nifests checks, we we do not require manifests from traders moving goods within the eu, we need that from outside, and whether we will have the capability by next year to introduce all of those new systems that will be needed for additional customs checks. so the report tries

to set out some priorities, really, about what we must focus on on the border, firstly safety and security, and keeping the border open and keeping people and goods moving freely across it. is there a staff shortage? how many extra people are needed to process this? yes, there isa needed to process this? yes, there is a staff shortage and that the report indicates, there is a wea kness report indicates, there is a weakness in our systems, they are not integrated, they are not legacy systems, so that is a concern. the border force budget has been cut each year forfour force budget has been cut each year for four years force budget has been cut each year forfour years and force budget has been cut each year for four years and we have gone down in real terms from 7% in staff but the volume of people has gone up by 1596, the volume of people has gone up by 15%, buy goods by 17%. in any case the border was creaking and resources , the border was creaking and resources, so we are recruiting more staff but it takes time to get them in and they will not be imposed by the end of march. i am sure there are people watching this morning and this is part of project fear, and the millennium bug, there are lots of concerns about what could happen

and everything will collapse, but in actual fact that could be groundless. i think we have to understand that it is up to us at the end of the day, it is up to our government as to what we do at the border and if we wanted and amid greater checks, we can do that, if we do not want to do that, we do not have to. a very good border, the border force is the envy in the world, in many respects we have advanced targeting systems and an advanced targeting systems and an advanced targeting systems and an advanced targeting centre and the move people, more people through the gates in this country than in any other part of the world. we will not be able to do everything, but for me, the bigger worry is what will happen on the other side, you cannot control what happens in the eu border when people arrive in places like france, belgium and so on. i would like to see more work done by laterally with those countries. we have always had good relationships with those, trusted traders, travers, pilots, we can keep goods moving, the worst case would be that the border grinds to a halt and that

would hurt significantly on both sides. one of the room and jason day was that we had that the government would urge freight companies to use alternative ports is the first destination became fool. if that idea credible? it is true that some routes are more loaded and others and the industry will have to look at that. but the bigger problem for me is that we do not know how the eu is going to treat cargo arriving from the uk and eu ports, and that, in itself, could cause gridlock. when i was head of the border force bid were blamed for long delays on the m20, it was nothing to do with us but a blockade around the french ports because of blockade imposed on that side. we have to understand in the event of a no deal, what are we going to be able to do to be able to persuade the french ports, the dutch ports, and they are all giving up and recruiting additional border force staff over there, i know, to ensure that goods and people are

flowing, because that is the biggest challenge of all. one more question please. if there is a no deal, how does that change things? that extends things, we will have more time, we are talking about the transition period until 2020. it does not mean that we will have all the systems in place but if we have a deal we can agree things like standards on certain products that already enter the eu and we can say that they have been cleared to an eu standard. we accept them and they can therefore come through on the uk side. that is what the regulatory process that will fall from the deal would deliver to us. at the moment the no deal delivers all this uncertainty and that is the real problem that this is highlighting. good to talk. thank you. tony smith, the former director—general of the uk border force. in looking ahead, it is getting colder. good morning, everyone, it

is going to turn colder. there will be the winter chill this weekend and there will be some snow on our hills. but today it is mostly dry day and some of us will see sunny spells. high pressure is with us, keeping things fairly settled. gusty winds in the northern isles and we have got a weather front pushing away, taking the rain with it, leaving behind in the west the odd spot. after the fog lifts from the south west, we are looking at sunny spells developing, particularly in the south and the east down the spine of the country towards the midlands. highs of up to 16 or 17. this evening and overnight we will see more cloud develop more widely than the night just see more cloud develop more widely than the nightjust gone. temperatures will fall in north east england and the south west where it remains clear. there will be some

mist around as well. but we also have a weather front coming in across the north west, introducing some rain. that is quite a significant one. i have let the chart run through thursday and into friday and you can see it move across as, and that is why it will turn colder. this is the weather front producing the rain on thursday. brightest breaks will be in the east. however, we will see some brightness here and there. the temperatures come down a touch in the south, about 14 instead of 16 or 17. but in stornoway kit. about nine. to show you that on our air mass chart, the yellow is being pushed away by the blue all the way down to the south and this goes on until the weekend as well. the wind

is coming down from the arctic and there will be a wind—chill, particularly in scotland. there goes the weather front with patchy rain and cloud. in the northerly flow there will be showers around the posts, some of them inland with snow on the hills. posts, some of them inland with snow on the hills. we all want to look and feel our best, but more and more people in the uk are putting their health at risk by turning to black market websites to buy treatments, only to find they are fake. counterfeit medicine worth two million pounds was seized in the uk during one week this month, as part of a crackdown on unregulated sales. breakfast was given exclusive access to police raids targeting sellers, as jayne mccubbin reports. police, can you come to the front door, please. the pot was white and it had like a printed label on it and it said "slimming pills". no label of dosage or any of that. no guidance?

nothing, nothing at all. i don't remember caring whatsoever what was in them. i was only interested in would it make me thin? alexia represents a growing number of people who have turned to the internet to buy illicit medication, a trade which is being targeted in this early morning raid. we have been given exclusive access by the medicines and health care products regulatory agency. officers are searching this property after finding illegal pills being sold on the dark web. these are non—genuine products. if there are people buying them online and if there are people taking them, then they are putting their health at risk. it is as simple as that. today one man is arrested but during one week of action this month, mhra officers seized over 1 million pills, inspected 22 postal hubs, seizing over 700 parcels, shutting down over 120 websites. i'm going to show you roughly what we found in his bedroom. these are all unlicensed medicines. these are all ready to go.

these are all loose. what are they? it could be anything. in a warehouse outside london, the nhra show us crate upon crate of seized pills. some have no active ingredients, some far too much, others licensed for sale overseas but not here because of health risks. what are people buying? they buy all sorts of things but i suppose primarily it is what we call lifestyle products. diet pills, erectile dysfunction. and there are some really convincing adverts and they‘re for things like this, like diet pills? yes, and there is always advice to women about miracle cures to lose weight or do anything. if it is too good to be true, that is exactly what it will be. and the health risks are real as alexia found out after spending years on slimming pills without knowing anything of their content. i was definitely very hooked on them. i would faint quite a lot, i had problems with heart rate,

but i have also had problems with my bowel. back on the raid officers have traced the pill business back to a lock—up. we found a number of the sealed bags and this bag does contain a couple of thousand. the vast majority of these are slimming and anti—anxiety pills with a value of several hundred thousand pounds. all sold without prescription and without the buyer knowing anything of their real contents or their real impact. people who are ordering these things have got no idea what these medicines contain, whether they contain the active ingredient that supports the medical condition, whether it could worsen their medical condition. but what we do know is they are paying for it. and these criminals have got total disregard for public safety and health. they are only interested in one thing, which is making money. jayne mccubbin, bbc news. gp dr rob barnett is here to discuss this with us. are you worried some of your

patients are taking this and they have got evidence they are finding these bills and they do not know what is in them and they are taken? iam what is in them and they are taken? i am worried. sometimes patients tell us and sometimes they do not. if they are already on medication that we are prescribing, there could be reactions with the medicine they are taking. we end up with patience with side effects and if we do not know what the ingredients are, it is difficult to treat them to manage the condition. we know there have been deaths after taking some of these medicines which are bought off these medicines which are bought off the internet, how often are you seeing patients who are happy to admit that they have been buying products like this? there are patients who tell us, there are patients who tell us, there are patients who tell us, there are patients who do get medication from different sources, but in quantities we would not normally prescribed and thatis we would not normally prescribed and that is worrying as well. the

problem is if we do not know what they are taking and we do not understand what the interactions are with the medication they are already taking, that is when we run into problems. there are patients who wa nt to ta ke problems. there are patients who want to take slimming pills when there is nothing wrong with their weight. this is a lifestyle sort of choice. they go to the internet to get medication because they will not get medication because they will not get it from a gp. if i see someone whose body mass index is about 20, which is normal, i will not prescribe something which i think could do them harm. let's specifically pick up that about slimming. if somebody wants to do that sort of thing, what would your advice be? go and speak to their gp in the first instance? i would a lwa ys in the first instance? i would always suggest speaking to the gp practice nurse to work out what is the best way of managing the problem the best way of managing the problem the patient thinks they have got. ta blets a re the patient thinks they have got. tablets are often not the answer to the problem, it is general

lifestyle, looking at diet and exercise. resorting to pills or thinking that pills are the answer to the problem is wrong. thank you very much for coming in and discussing that. let us know what you think about it. you can find us on e—mailand you think about it. you can find us on e—mail and social media. we have gotjane on e—mail and social media. we have got jane fonda coming on e—mail and social media. we have gotjane fonda coming up and she is talking to charlie about the rerelease of a film nine to five. we will have the weather from carol shortly. we will have the weather from carol shortly. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. the conservative candidate for mayor of london, shaun bailey, has apologised for the first time for comments he made about ethnic minority communities. in a leaflet in 2005 the london assembly member wrote that muslim and hindu

festivals could rob britain of its community and could see us slip into a crime ridden cesspool. at an event in islington last night he said he was sorry if he had caused offence and he had been speaking to a former youth worker. a project in surrey which is proving effective at cutting reoffending rates for women is being rolled out across the county. the women‘sjustice intervention scheme focuses on rehabilitation within the community. it recognises many who offend are vulnerable as a result of previous trauma, abuse or mental health problems. it has helped me realise how to now deal with things and to try and prevent this kind of thing from happening. it is not a soft option because we expect women to actually face what has happened to them in theirlife actually face what has happened to them in their life that has led up to their offending behaviour. we have to talk about the consequences of the crime. arsenal has planted

more than 2000 trees as part of effo rts more than 2000 trees as part of efforts to be more eco—friendly. the clu b efforts to be more eco—friendly. the club switch to green electricity last year and it says it has helped cut co2 emissions equivalent to filling the emirates stadium more than three times over. there is a good service on all the tube line so far this morning. there is disruption on south western railway services between working and so britain because of the track failure. in dagenham car has caught fire, so it very slow into town. cromwell road remains closed eastbound between earls court road and cromwell hospital due to ongoing emergency water mains work. time for the weather with kate. it is not feeling quite as chilly out there this morning compared to yesterday. waking up to bright skies. a little bit of cloud coming

and going, but pleasant autumn sunshine to enjoy. the cloud sync south through the morning, but it is high and then and it will break up, turning the sunshine hazy. this afternoon temperatures getting up to around 16. overnight tonight, starting off clear then a band of cloud will slowly sinks south. it introduces slightly cooler air, so chilly start as we head into thursday. minimum temperature five or six. on thursday it is cloudy. temperatures around 14. but overnight at cold front sinks south and it introduces much colder air, so getting chilly towards friday and we will wake up to a cold and frosty start to the weekend. a chilly day on saturday with the potential for showers. i am on saturday with the potential for showers. iam back on saturday with the potential for showers. i am back in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin.

here‘s a summary of this morning‘s main stories from bbc news. there are warnings of queues, delays and criminal gang activity at the uk‘s borders, if britain leaves the european union without a deal. a report from the government watchdog, the national audit office, says complicated new border controls may not be ready by the end of march. it‘s emerged the government will urge ferry and freight companies to plan alternative routes if a no—deal brexit blocks cross—channel traffic. an official visit by the duchess of sussex to a market in fiji has been cut short because of security concerns caused by large crowds. she had been expected to spend longer meeting people at the market, on what was her first solo engagement of the trip. earlier, in herfirst speech of the tour, meghan shared a personal message about the value of education. everyone should be afforded the opportunity to receive the education that they want but more importantly the education that they have the right to receive. for women and girls in developing

countries, this is vital. providing them with access to education is the key to economic and social development. because when girls are given the right tools to succeed, they can create incredible futures, not only for themselves, but for all of those around them. us president donald trump has called saudi arabia‘s response to the murder ofjournalist jamal khashoggi "the worst cover—up ever". the saudi kingdom has provided conflicting accounts of what happened to khashoggi — seen here entering the consulate for the last time. secretary of state mike pompeo said that the us "will punish those responsible" and is revoking visas of 21 identified suspects. two babies with spina bifida have had their spines repaired by surgeons, while still in the womb. the operations, which are the first of their kind in the uk, were carried out by 30 doctors at university college hospital in london.

the babies‘ spinal cords had failed to develop properly. the condition is usually treated after birth, but the earlier it‘s repaired, the better it is for long—term health and mobility. thousands of people have had to leave their homes as powerful hurricane willa continues to bare down on the western coast of mexico. authorities have ordered the closure of all businesses in some areas after a warning for winds of more than 120 miles an hour. willa is one of the most dangerous storms to hit the country in recent years. at least one person is reported to have won the largest ever lottery jackpot in american history. the mega millions draw — which took place a few hours ago — boasted a jackpot of $1.6 billion, which is around £1.2 billion. officials said a winning ticket was sold in south carolina. the lucky winner will now have the choice of an immediate cash payment or receive the jackpot over

the next 29 years. well, it is a choice that i am sure that many of us would like to have. just in case you are making that calculated in your head, they do pay tax on lottery wins in america. that is still a lot of money! $500 million in tax in total, i believe. you are still left with quite a big chunk. that would sort out a few problems. coming up, carol will have the weather. joining us with the sport isjohn. we are talking about the toll of cristiano ronaldo, a great night for juventus. yes, talking about all of that money is probably what cristiano ronaldo ta ke is probably what cristiano ronaldo take some in one week‘s wages! yes, i think he will be the happy man. manchester united were not at their best. two bike teams, juventus and

manchester united, jose mourinho against the stan laurel naldo. we will show you jose mourinho walking to the ground because the team bus got caught in traffic again. no goal but ronaldo played his part in juve‘s 1—0 win. it was a much easier night for manchester city who beat shakhtar donetsk 3—0. asjoe lynskey reports. sometimes the noise can be intimidating at old trafford, not for cristiano ronaldo. at the place where he became a superstar, this was no away match, more a homecoming. while he‘s in the team, juventus are among the champions league favourites. his contribution is not always a goal—scoring one. here, ronaldo‘s cross set up paulo dybala‘s finish. he‘s the argentinian striker learning in his shadow. for the home fans, this might have reminded them of how it used to be. but at times, ronaldo‘s presence showed how far united have fallen behind. only david de gea stopped him scoring a breathtaking goal, while paul pogba, a formerjuve

player himself, went closest to a leveller. united once beatjuventus on the way to winning the treble, but this was yet a another night for a rethink. there was only one man at home in these surroundings. manchester city went nearly 2000 miles to get their three points. david silva made it worth it for the hardy ones. the manager says they‘re not ready to win the champions league yet, but their three goals in ukraine got him suitably excited. beating shakhtar sent them top of their group and with this kind of quality, city are certain to be challengers, whatever anyone says. joe lynskey, bbc news. we said that mourinho walked to the ground last night because the bus got stuck in traffic. well, here he is, or rather the back of his head, walking to the ground, flanked by security.

i like the fact that you have highlighted that. yes, just in case you were not sure. after two defeats, spurs take on the dutch champions psv eindhoven tonight. while liverpool are in a slightly better position, second in their group with three points. they‘re at home to the serbian champions red star belgrade. hearts are still going well in the scottish premiership — they beat dundee 3—0 to move six points clear at the top. if classing celtic at the moment after a ll if classing celtic at the moment after all the recent success. ——outclassing celtic at the moment after all the recent success. england‘s one—day cricket captain owen morgan said losing their final one—day game against sri lanka was not a set—back. it was actually their heaviest defeat in an odi. morgan rested himself for the match, as well as chris woakes and olly stone, to give other players a chance before next year‘s world cup. rain was a factor yet again and they lost by 219 runs, but they still won the series 3—1. the defending champion caroline wozniacki is back

in contention for the multi—million pound prize at the wta finals in singapore. after losing her opening round—robin match, she beat petra kvitova for the first time in four years. she said she was pleased with how she kept cool, in a three—set win. the world‘s top eight players are competing. an extension to the rugby union season will leave players competing at the height of summer. it will start sooner and end later, but in season breaks will be introduced to give plyers a rest. that won‘t apply for england internationals and a number of high profile players hd spoken out about the plans. there was no doubt who the star attraction was at old trafford last night, which was illustrated by one or two fans who burst on to the pitch to get a selfie. one was apprehended but ronaldo took pity on him and posed for a selfie — he even took the picture. he have to do all of the hard yards

for that selfie. you do not want a stuart to appear in that picture, you just want to yourself and the mainland. thank you for that. as we‘ve been hearing this morning, calls to the national gambling helpline have increased by almost a third over the last five years. the charity that runs the helpline gam—care has told bbc yorkshire that it received almost 30,000 calls last year. ali fortescue has been to meet some of those whose lives have been changed by gambling addiction. sporty, funny and a loved son. alan lockhart took his own life because of a gambling addiction when he was 40 years old. i was just horrified, because i could not see what the attraction was, that it was so great that it could have this effect on my son. but sadly, alan‘s story is not unique. nearly 30,000 calls were made to the national gambling helpline last year, that‘s a 30% increase on five years ago.

the proliferation of advertising and the concern that we have with the harm caused by the fixed—odds betting terminals, for example, whether this reflects an increase in problem gambling per se, i do not think it would be a great surprise to those of us who work in the area. for matt, it all started with card games when he was just 13 years old. he did not realise then that his addiction would end in a prison sentence. i ended up taking money from work. i had exhausted all lines of credit and it just carries on and on because an addictive gamblercannot win, they willjust lose money. i thought about suicide daily because i was in such a hole, ijust could not get out. it does notjust affect a gambler, it is not the numbers of gamblers that matter, it is the number of families that matter, the number of people in those families, they are the victims. unlike matt, alan lockhart was never able to start again. but his family hopes that his story, however short, will mean fewer lives lost.

ali fortescue, bbc news. thank you to all those families for speaking to us about that. liz and charlie ritchie‘s sonjack struggled with a gambling addiction before he took his own life last year. they‘ve since set up a charity to raise awareness and help support other families. they join us now. devastating to hear those stories. tell us about the jack and how he got into this situation, please? jack started gambling when he was 17, he was still at school. he was with a bunch of friends in the lunchtime who used to go to the local bookies and played on a fixed odds betting terminals. the bookies must have known that they were all school—age, nobody challenged them at all. and unfortunately, forjack, very early in his career, he had two

very early in his career, he had two very large wins, he won five thousand pounds in successive wins. he came home from school with £1000. we did not know that at all. we did not find out for another year. jack struggled with addiction for seven years. we did talk about it, but i do not think that liz myself ever really understood the power of addiction, we certainly had no idea about the suicide risk. jack didn't lose vast amounts of money over the total course of the seven years. in that time he probably lost £30,000, which i know is a lot of money but it is not life—changing for a young man of his capability. and he struggled with addiction for those seven years and he took his life in hanol seven years and he took his life in hanoi. he had gone out there to

teach english and he was having a fantastic time. jack was a very normal, happy, bright, intelligent, popular young man. he normal, happy, bright, intelligent, popularyoung man. he didn't normal, happy, bright, intelligent, popular young man. he didn't have a history of mental health problems at all. he was bright and cheerful, as so all. he was bright and cheerful, as so many of the boys who gamboa. he could not let gambling go. the suicide came out of the blue. we had spoke to him two days before and he said that the problem had come back. they were long periods when he was not gambling at all. but, yes, we got the e—mail, which was kind of midday our time, seven o'clock hanoi time. it basically said that the problem was back and he was not coming back from this one. and it

was a terribly tragic suicide note, lam sure was a terribly tragic suicide note, i am sure that they all are, just saying that basically he would never be free of this. i am so sorry to hear that story. lives, what do you think, because listening to that, what seems clear is that it is not about money in some ways, so what do you think could have got through and made a difference? well, i think if we had won the level of risk, and the fact that the addiction is severe, but intermittent. so you do not know it is happening. i do not think that he knew, really. so, really, it is about the health message, and what we thought when he died was that we have to tell other parents, because nobody else is doing that, there is not a public health message, and people do not have a clear perception of what this addiction this. i mean, it is a proper addiction, it is like a heroin addiction. it was defined as

equivalent to drugs and alcohol in 2013. so there is no reason why we should not know. that is why you set up should not know. that is why you set up the charity. what has the response been from other people getting in contact with you about that? it is quite hard to reach out to families. lots of people are traumatised. it is extremely hard to find people, because coroners do not re cord find people, because coroners do not record the verdicts. that is one of the things that we are wanting to do with the charity, as we think that there should be a statutory law to pay for a proper research, we could set upa pay for a proper research, we could set up a project to count the number of people who are dying. the bit of research that we have got, it seems to indicate that it is between 250 and 650 each year. that is a lot of people and mainly young men. that is 10% of all uk suicides, which could be related to gambling. thank you so much for coming to tell us your

story and your message is very clear, actually. a government response has said that they are taking decisive action to make sure that the most vulnerable in society are that the most vulnerable in society a re protected that the most vulnerable in society are protected from the threat of gambling related harm. the gambling commission has said that it is important that those needing support can important that those needing support ca n a ccess important that those needing support can access it when they need it. could i also add, the government have said that, however, they made the decision about limiting the maximum stake to £2 last may, that decision has not been implemented. from what we understand, the treasury are still acting as a blog on that. there are people dying every day because of gambling addiction and the government is putting the profits of bookmakers over lives. we will put that point to the treasury, thank you. carol is going to tell us about the

weather. she is not out and about andi weather. she is not out and about and i am quite glad because it will be colder. it will turn colder at the weekend, but today is a mostly dry day. there will be some sunny spells. high pressure is firmly in charge of our weather. you can see it will be quite blustery across the north of the country. sunshine in eastern scotland, eastern england, southern england when we lose the mist from the south—west. but we will hang on toa the south—west. but we will hang on to a bit of cloud in north—west wales, north—west england and northern ireland and northern and western scotland. temperatures today between 10—16. overnight we will see more cloud developed and more rain come in across the north west. clear skies in north east england and the

south—west, we could well see mist first thing in the morning. it will not be quite as cold night as the onejust gone. not be quite as cold night as the one just gone. on thursday this weather front produces the rain overnight and it will move steadily southwards through thursday and into friday. it will feel much colder with that northerly wind coming down from the arctic. for england and wales quite a bit of cloud around on thursday. some sunny spells developing. but in scotland and northern ireland there will be more cloud around and heavy rain comes in from the north—west. you can already see the cold air in stornoway. at this stage still mild in the south. a group of mums are going to westminster today to give their views on the new benefit system, universal credit. what‘s this all about, steph? it is something we have heard a lot

about in the news over the last few yea rs about in the news over the last few years and there is a lot of controversy about it. it is a new benefit system that will replace six of the current income systems we have at the moment. for example, child tax credit and income support. it has already been rolled out in some parts of the uk, for example in wales. the idea is that this will encourage more people to work, you will be better off in work than on benefits. one part of it is that when you find a job and you start employment, the benefits will not suddenly end, they will reduce more slowly. they are hoping it will encourage people to come off the system and go back into work. what is the problem? first of all, you have seen the problems with the it system which has meant people have faced delays in getting the payment. that can put some people into real hardship. more widely is the issue about how many people will be better

off. some analysis has been done and it says 3 million working families will be worse off under the universal credit system. charities like save the children have come out to say they are worried about the impact this might have. it could mean families having to pay their childcare costs upfront when they start work, which is a lot of money. in particular we spoke to one of the mothers who is going to westminster today to talk to mps about this. she has a two—year—old son and she wants to go back to work, but she has worked out she will be worse off.” applied for a job, i got it, i was offered it and that is when everything fell apart. essentially i did a better off calculation. the salary on offer was 32,000. just after my rent, council tax and childcare bill of 1500 a month we would have been left with £60 for

everything else. effectively that is £2a everything else. effectively that is £2 a day. that is interesting because you assume that is a good salary. it isa salary. it is a great salary and some people have been sceptical of those figures. they say if that is how much money she is being offered, she needs to cut back on other things. maybe she could find somewhere to live and cut back on the round, but the point is she has worked out in her current situation she is worse off. what does the government say? the government accept some people will be losers, they will be worse off compared to the way it was before, but they say they are investing lots of money to make sure this process is used in. they say they have set aside £3 billion to make sure initially people are not worse off. they say they have made changes as part of the roll—out. for example, they are changing the

system so you get the first payment a bit faster. but there has been a lot of criticism about it and the work and pensions secretary has had a lot to say about it. i have changed the system to provide extra support for those with severe disabilities, extra housing support for 18—21 vulnerable young adults, kinship carers and working with collea g u es kinship carers and working with colleagues to identify areas that we can do more improvements. because of those improvements they say they will delay the roll—out and it will not be as fast as it was going to be. nine to five, a film starring jane fonda, dolly parton, and lily tomlin, is about a group of female secretaries who decide to get revenge on their sexist boss. it may have been released almost 40 years ago but it‘s never been more relevant than it is today. so relevant in fact that it‘s being re—released. charlie‘s been to meet jane fonda to find out more. if we are going to do this, why don‘t we make changes that really count? we are talking about nine to five.

this is 1980 when you make the movie, what did you think you were making? what i thought i was making was exactly what i made. during the previous decade in the 70s i became friends with a woman whose dayjob was she had been active in the anti—vietnam war movement and she was an organiser of women office workers and she would tell me every time i saw her these awful stories about what women office workers were going through. eventually i said, i want to make a movie about this. i am not a girl, i am a woman. do you hear me? i am not your wife or your mother or even your mistress. what? i am your employee and as such i expect to be treated equally with a little dignity and a little respect. it is extraordinary in so many ways.

all this time has passed and yet, i can see by your reaction... it‘s worse in america. a lot of the people who work in offices are subcontracted. they are contract workers and they are hired by another company that contract them out. so where do you go when there is a problem of sexual harassment or wage theft or whatever? one of the things i have been reading about is your comment about the life you have led and your extraordinary honesty. for example, plastic surgery, and you have been really open about that. really open isjust saying i have had plastic surgery. you cannot be useful to people if you do not tell the truth. how do you reflect on that? i grew up in the 50s and i was judged according to how i looked. i am not proud that i succumbed to having plastic surgery. i wish i was braver.

but i am not that brave. a very interesting time coming up with the midterms. are you actively involved in politics? yes, as soon as i go back i will go to michigan with taraj p henson and we are going to michigan to motivate and inspire african—american people all around michigan to vote. i am so scared i can hardly breathe when i think about it. this is the most important election in my lifetime and it is not even the presidential election. but the democrats have to win back the house or it is going to be terrible. what do you make of some people‘s analysis of mr trump? the people who voted for him and liked him most like him more now than before. all the times he says things that some people, possibly you, are offended by, they rally round more. what do you make of that? there is a sizeable part of the united states

that is racist and misogynist. and a lot of people are very, very scared and angry and they are hurting. these are people in the middle of the country who used to have union jobs. for those people who are angry and scared i can understand why that appeals to them, but they are definitely the minority. so if we get a lot of people to vote, we will win because they are the minority. lovely to meet you, thank you very much. nice to meet you. wonderful to hearfrom wonderful to hear from jane fonda who is searingly honest. brutally honest. nine to five is being re—released as part of the bfi comedy genius season at venues across the uk. if you want more of that interview, we have got a longer version later

in the programme. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. the conservative candidate for mayor of london, sian bailey, has apologised for the first time for comments he made about ethnic minority communities. in 2005, the london assembly member wrote that muslim and hindu festivals could rob britain of its community and see us slip into a crime ridden cesspool. atan slip into a crime ridden cesspool. at an event in islington last night he said he was sorry if he caused offence and has been speaking to a former youth worker about the lives of the poorest londoners. a project in surrey that is proving effective at cutting offending rates for women is being rolled out across the county. the scheme focuses on rehabilitation with in the community and it says it recognises that many who offend our vulnerable as a

parts of the uk today it will brighten up and we will see sunny spells. the north and west seek thicker cloud, spots of rain and limited brightness but it will turn colder in the next few days. more in 15 minutes. good morning, it‘s wednesday the 24th of october. our top story... there are warnings of queues, delays and criminal gang activity at the uk‘s borders, if britain leaves the european union without a deal. a report from the government watchdog, the national audit office, says complicated new border controls may not be ready by the end of march. it‘s emerged the government will urge ferry and freight companies to plan alternative routes if a no—deal brexit blocks cross—channel traffic. here‘s our economics correspondent, andy verity. this is how easily goods flow into and out of the country now. and this is what might happen to the m20, according to the government and the national audit office, if we get a no—deal brexit next march. the government said if there is no deal, the border will be less than optimal. the priority at the uk‘s newly—enforced borders will be

traffic flow and security. but what does less than optimal mean? the national audit office‘s latest report says there is a risk that 11 out of 12 critical systems needed to manage the border will not be up to scratch by the day we exit the eu on the 29th of march, and infrastructure to track goods coming in and out will not be built before then. if the government concentrates on traffic flow and security, and customs controls are not enforced, organised criminals may exploit the weakness. the risks and patterns of movement through the border will not change on day one. over time, organised criminals could take advantage of any weaknesses in the regime that it perceives. that could mean it is easier for goods to be smuggled into the country without paying the due customs duty and it could be easier for people to be trafficked into the country. the government says it‘s recruiting around 600 border force officers, but the nao points out that in the last three years, border force staff numbers

have been cut by 7%, and it says there is a risk that new recruits cannot be deployed before march. andy verity, bbc news. let‘s get more on the government advice on contingency plans for ferry operators. our political correspondent, ben wright is in westminster. some of these issues arose in the cabinet meeting this week and theresa may will meet with the 1922 committee later today so that could be an interesting meeting for her. theresa may is still insisting that no deal is better than a bad deal but every day that passes shows quite how disruptive and potentially damaging to the uk economy no—deal brexit could be. yesterday the cabinet discussed how in the event of no deal, medicine and food could be shipped into the uk if there is chaos at the border and in calais.

now we have the warning today from the national audit office about the lack of preparedness at the border for a no deal situation. there is real concern at whitehall about the consequences. and theresa may is under political pressure about the yield she is trying to hatch with brussels. her party is edgy, nervous and fractious. they don‘t like the compromises theresa may is talking about in terms of talking about the border in northern ireland and many in her party hate the idea of a transition period, the period after we leave but being tied to eu rules longer than they think necessary. she is under huge pressure and a lot of this i‘m sure will be raised at the meeting between the prime minister and conservative mps at the house of commons later. there has been speculation for weeks that she could face at some point a vote of no—confidence from tory backbenchers. i don‘t feel that is close but she certainly has to

reassure them that there is a plan to get them onside. but the challenges she faces at the moment are great and brexit day is nowjust months away. a timely reminder, thank you. major signalling failure is affecting trains into london waterloo this morning. passengers on south western trains services are being warned not to travel. all lines between woking and surbiton are affected. network rail says engineers are on site and trying to fix the problem as quickly as possible. services were already being disrupted by the second day of a five—day walk—out by workers of the rmt union. two babies with spina bifida have had their spines repaired by surgeons — while still in the womb. the operations, which are the first of their kind in the uk, were carried out by 30 doctors at university college hospital in london. the babies‘ spinal cords had failed to develop properly. the condition is usually

treated after birth, but the earlier it‘s repaired, the better it is for long—term health and mobility. donald trump has called saudi arabia‘s response to the murder ofjournalist jamal khashoggi in istanbul "the worst cover—up ever". the us says it will revoke the visas of 21 identified suspects. let‘s get more now from our turkey correspondent, mark lowen. president erdogan‘s promise to reveal full details about the murder didn‘t really materialise, is he playing a diplomatic game? they weren‘t. president erdogan was extremely restrained yesterday. bear in mind a year and a half ago he was slamming dutch and german governments as nazis, and yet here with the saudi arabian government, and with an accusation of state—sponsored murder, he is really

holding back. why is that? i am told he wants to show saudi arabia this is not turkey against the saudi government. he wants to somehow try to protect king salman and urge him to protect king salman and urge him to act without targeting him directly. i think there is a strategy to try to drive a wedge between king salman and the crown prince, his son. the key to that is getting donald trump on board. at the moment the white house is still talking a lot about the importance of the relationship with saudi arabia and saudi investment in the us. yet donald trump is beginning to harden his tony little bit by saying it‘s the worst cover up ever. what we did learn from president erdogan yesterday, a saudi reconnaissance tea m yesterday, a saudi reconnaissance team came to istanbul the day before jamal khashoggi was murdered to scan for a site where perhaps his body could be buried. we also learned that team removed hard drives from the cctv cameras inside the saudi consulate. but there was no

incriminating bombshell yesterday, just a incriminating bombshell yesterday, justa drip incriminating bombshell yesterday, just a drip of information to put pressure on the saudis and also to try to influence the white house to change its position on its middle eastern ally. an official visit by the duchess of sussex to a market in fiji has been cut short because of security concerns caused by large crowds. royal officials say they weren‘t expecting the market to be so busy. earlier, in herfirst speech of the tour, meghan shared a personal message about the value of education. our royal correspondent jonny dymond is there. well, we are halfway through this four—country royal trip but today has been meghan‘s day. they‘re both here, both the duke and the dutchess are here carrying out engagements, but for the first time on this trip, pretty much the first time since she was married, the duchess of sussex has been carrying out engagements by herself. whilst the duke was laying a wreath at the war memorial and giving a speech and opening part of the queen‘s commonwealth canopy, she was out at the university here, speaking about the importance of university education, speaking of her struggle to pay for her education and speaking about something very close

to her heart, womens‘ and girls‘ rights and the importance of education to women and girls. everyone should be afforded the opportunity to receive the education that they want but more importantly the education that they have the right to receive. for women and girls in developing countries, this is vital. providing them with access to education is the key to economic and social development. because when girls are given the right tools to succeed, they can create incredible futures, not only for themselves, but for all of those around them. from the university she went off to the municipal market, but one small controversy, she was expected to spend around 15 minutes there but she made a rather hurried trip around the stalls in the end. the palace said that far more people had turned out than expected and there were some concerns about the security of the duchess from her police officers and from the fiji security. so that was a rather brief trip and people were fairly disappointed

that they did not get much time to spend with the duchess. they are having the afternoon off in fiji and will hop to another part of the island tomorrow morning, and then they will go on to tonga. that was our royal correspondent, jonny dymond, reporting from fiji. we mentioned it yesterday, the lotto fever in america. at least one person is reported to have won the largest ever lottery jackpot in american history. the mega millions draw — which took place a few hours ago — boasted a jackpot of $1.6 billion, which is around £1.2 billion. officials said a winning ticket was sold in south carolina. the lucky winner will now have the choice of an immediate cash payment or receive the jackpot over the next 29 years. that immediate cash payment would be around $900 million. or they could receive the full jackpot over 29 yea rs. receive the full jackpot over 29 years. it‘s a nice choice to make.

best of luck for them with that money and let‘s hope they give loads to charity, friends, family. this is quite a story, stay with us for this. when he was hit by a car whilst on duty last month, pc tom dorman‘s injuries were so severe he almost bled to death. but his life was saved when he was able to teach somebody who‘d rushed to help how to apply a torniquet bandage to his wound. now he wants more people to know how to use them. hejoins us now. good morning and thank you for being on the sofa. remind us when this happened. it wasn‘t long ago. on the sofa. remind us when this happened. it wasn't long ago. just under eight weeks, the 2nd of september. first of all, it's amazing you are here in lots of different ways. it was a really severe accident, and you think your life was saved because you were able to help a member of the public help you. what happened? to help a member of the public help you. what happened ?” to help a member of the public help you. what happened? i was at work and was hit by a car. i realised

quickly that i was going to bleed, i had a catastrophic bleed in my leg. because i am trained as a public order medic, so we have further training to teach us how to do advanced first eight in riot and hostile situations. because of that trainingi hostile situations. because of that training i realised i needed something quickly because i could die within two minutes. —— advanced firstaid. die within two minutes. —— advanced first aid. so you needed help before the ambulance could get there. first aid. so you needed help before the ambulance could get therem was on a residential street so lots of members of the public came out to help, as did colleagues from my team. they were all there very quickly. it was either a member of the public or a colleague, it was so frantic i can‘t remember exactly who, but they were able to apply a makeshift tourniquet because i was able to explain i needed something tied around my leg to at least stem

that arterial bleed to give me a chance. you cannot speak too much about the crash because it is under investigation, but in terms of the aftermath, you were able to think clearly. you were looking at your leg, a compound fracture and it doesn‘t look good. that training came into your mind. you never know what situation you will find yourself in today, so for those watching, what can you use? you have official tourniquet kits. this is a combat apply tourniquet, this has come through the training and all we have learned in afghanistan and the military. you put it on like a luggage strap and turn the plastic handle to tighten it. it's a large piece of velcro which you can pull out, for instance, around your arm, so you can apply at yourself as tight as you can. and then twist the arm. tourniquets can save lives but they are only to be used in really

severe situations. give us an idea of when they should be used. when there is an awful lot of blood is probably the best way! if you think you should use one but rather at least somebody attempted to use one, you need to lose about 40% of your body‘s blood, and then that is when you end up dying, because you need that 60% to keep your body going. obviously, not everybody has one of these, but you could use a belt and a piece of clothing. charity have just released a new app and it look which explains how you can improvise tourniquets. they said you can use things such as alts, scarves , you can use things such as alts, scarves, triangular bandages. —— such as elves. you just need something to tie it with, it could bea something to tie it with, it could be a pen ora something to tie it with, it could be a pen or a stick. it is really clear having met you over the last few minutes that you are quite an exceptional young man. this didn‘t

happen very long ago, and you are absolutely determined that you can get to work as soon as you posit we can. you love your wheelchair behind, because you don‘t like it! —— you are going back to work as soon as you possibly can.” —— you are going back to work as soon as you possibly can. i can't wait to go back to work. for most people, i know it‘s probably the worst nightmare. but i love policing, i love the reactive side of the leasing, going out and catching people but doing things wrong and doing all of the stuff that comes with it —— the reactive side of policing. i‘m 26. i don‘t wa nt to side of policing. i‘m 26. i don‘t want to just sit in my wheelchair. it will be on to a prostatic, which will hopefully give me the ability to learn to walk again. we welcome you into the studio and you said, no, i‘m not sitting in my wheelchair, and you jumped into the sofa! the aim is that as soon as the wound is healed, it had a complete skin graft of the entire end, from

my new downwards, that‘ll give —— ta ke my new downwards, that‘ll give —— take some time to heal. when i get a prostatic, hopefully i can get the walking back. istill prostatic, hopefully i can get the walking back. i still have full use of my knee, so it is effectively just kind of my ankle that i need to replicate. you told me earlier that you are still getting phantom pain, as well. that's the bit that i have struggled with so far, really, the sensation of laying in bed and feeling that my big toe really hurts what my ankle is in agony because the nerves don‘t really know what to do. right, and that will go? hopefully. i‘ve spoken to several amputees from the militarily, and they still experience them occasionally. but they say about feeling the wound and feeling the end of the stump, so that your nerves, your brain connects that your ankle is no longer there. of course. which obviously i can't do until it has healed. you are an

extraordinary young man, and my ta keaway extraordinary young man, and my takeaway from this is that thursday at has clearly saved lives. tourniquets used to be in catastrophic accidents like yours was. thank you very much indeed. i have the citizen aid up on my phone, it‘s really good. last time we spoke to someone in a similar situation i thought, i‘m going to do it, i‘m going to put it on. if you whatever ina going to put it on. if you whatever in a situation, it‘s really handy. it is step—by—step and it‘s really simple. i have spoken to them and following this they have released a new update this week to the apple, it has further things to do with attacks and what to do —— to the application. best of luck with your recovery and getting back to work, thank you. send us a, we want to know how you get on! what an extraordinary young man! here‘s carol with a look at this morning‘s weather. good morning, all. it is not a bad start to the day. yesterday the

temperature was freezing, this morning it is already in double figures, didn‘t fall below 12 degrees. today is going to be mainly dry, there will be sunny spells, the best of which will be in the south and east. high—pressure very much in charge of our weather, keeping things settled. you can see the squeeze in the eyes bars as we progressively move northwards. a blustery day, windy in the northern isles. the north and west of the uk is seeing a bit more cloud this morning, but it will break up across parts of the south west of england, south wales, we will see some sunshine, and maybe in county down as well. central and eastern parts of the uk really brightening up quite nicely with sunny spells as well. temperatures ranging from ten in the north to round about 16 in the south. as we head on through the evening and overnight, we still have some rain from a weather front coming in across worth in scotland. a lot more cloud around tonight, particularly across england and wales —— across western scotland.

the cloud breaks in south—west england, and here we could well see some misty patch is forming. in rural areas, the temperatures will bea rural areas, the temperatures will be a bit lower than you can see on the charts. tomorrow, this weather front is producing the rain, which will be heavy at times across western scotland. look at how it ru ns western scotland. look at how it runs south through thursday into friday. a northerly wind is coming straight down into the arctic, turning much colder. on thursday for england, wales, southern scotland and northern ireland, variable amounts of cloud, sunny skies coming through, but we do have a weather front producing heavy rain across northern and western scotland at this stage, and cooler in stornoway behind that weather front at nine. ahead of it, looking at 13 or 14. to show you that in graphical form, the yellows indicate the milder weather, the blues the colder weather. on friday, the cold weather moves across the whole of the uk. the northerly wind continues to dominate the weather, and that will be the

case into the weekend. there goes our weather front, clear in the south—east with patchy light rain. behind it, there will be sunshine, a lot of dry weather, but showers. because it is northerly, it will bring showers in across the coastlines. but we will see some of them as well inland. some in the north could be heavy and boundary, but we could also see some snow on the hills of scotland. but note that temperatures even as far south as birmingham we are looking at nine, ten or even 11. that trend continues into the weekend. look at those temperatures. we will feel the change. for some of us, there will be wind as well. goodness me, there isa be wind as well. goodness me, there is a change ahead. i am going to dig out the winter coat! i went on to my winter coat a bit early and i won‘t feel the benefit now! two of the big uk banks are paying the price for some of their mistakes this morning.

steph‘s got more on this. what‘s the story, steph? we are going to start with tsb first. we found out this morning they have lost 16,000 customers between april and june. now, you‘ll remember in april was when they have the it meltdown, which meant 1.9 million people were unable to access the bank account, and as a result of all of this, the chief executive resigned. so, ithink all of this, the chief executive resigned. so, i think people have been talking with their feet essentially here and have moved from tsb to other banks. that‘s the first story for you this morning on banking. the other one is that ba rclays‘ results a re banking. the other one is that barclays‘ results are out, they had better than expected figures, but the profits have fallen, and that‘s largely because of a big find that they have wasted the us, a fine of £1.4 billion, which they got from the us department ofjustice after it sold mortgages in the lead up to the 2008 financial crash which is believed to have led to the crash. you know, we are talking over a

decade later, that result has just come from there. and, guess what? they are still paying out for ppi! another £400 million has been set aside for pp! claims. it‘s staggering the amount of money that has been paid out that the mis—selling of payment protection insurance, and still that is hitting the bottom—line. a lot of analysts are seeing these figures from ba rclays is are seeing these figures from barclays is being better than expected. still, you can see how much of a hit they have had over the yea rs much of a hit they have had over the years from ppi much of a hit they have had over the years from pp! and also being involved in the financial crash, that made such a big difference to this economy. thank you. steph has so much to do today! she is coming back later. also, if you like have i got news for you, you have a special guest host! i'll be honest, i am scared! excited and nervous. you will be brilliant! embrace it! it already boasts the taj mahal, the great barrier reef and the ancient pyramids of egypt,

but the list of protected sites on the unesco world heritage list could soon include a slate mine in wales. the quarries of gwynedd are said to have "roofed the 19th—century world", as its slate was exported across the globe. it‘s now been put forward as the uk‘s nomination for the status, due to be awarded in three years‘ time. our reporter chris dearden is there for us this morning. well, show us the delights, chris, good morning to you. absolutely, yes, welcome to one of the villages which was shaped either welsh slate mining industry, thousands of people came to live and work here as part of thisjob of came to live and work here as part of this job of extracting the rock on the hillside to be turned into roofing slate. look across the lake and you can see the results of the work even to this day, large gashes in the hillside when this roofing slate was extracted, and the buildings across the way the workshops where they cut and saw and

split the rock into roofing slate. we also have mounds of rock on the banks of the lake is welcome which they couldn‘t use. we are now bidding for unesco world heritage status, one of the people putting that bit together is doctor david quinn. it is a spectacular landscape, but is it a world heritage one? you are quite right to say it is a spectacular landscape, it isa say it is a spectacular landscape, it is a beautiful one. i think the quarries themselves have a beauty all of the road. world heritage status will acknowledge the significance of this industry all over the world, slate from these villages was exported all over the world to the united states, to northern europe, to australia, new zealand. welsh slates are found on roofs everywhere. so, it's a global industry, and it has a profound

effect on holding styles and on the capacity to build for instance mass industrial workers' housing. yes, capacity to build for instance mass industrialworkers' housing. yes, it isa very industrialworkers' housing. yes, it is a very important industry. how long does it actually take to get the status? you have been many years in putting the bid together, it is now down to unesco, the international heritage organisation, to decide. we have been working very ha rd to decide. we have been working very hard on the bed by nine years already, and it will be 2021 when we hear if unesco has acknowledged that this truly is a landscape of world heritage significance. thank you for joining us this morning. waiting until 2021! an awful lot of discussions and presentations around the world to decide whether the landscape behind us and the rest of the quarries in wales are worthy of world heritage status. it is a beautiful place. i have swum in the water behind you, which is freezing but beautiful. you can't go past it,

can you?! but beautiful. you can't go past it, can you ?! have but beautiful. you can't go past it, can you?! have you got your wet suit underneath your bed, just in case?! iam now underneath your bed, just in case?! i am now training without... jane fonda coming up, it really fascinating interview she has done with charlie. good morning. there‘s not going to be a great deal of difference in the weather today compared to yesterday. for many of us it is quite quiet. lots of dry weather in the forecast today and a fair amount of cloud around but there will be some sunny spells, particularly this morning across southern parts of wales, south—west england, and eventually some sunshine coming through in the south—east of england. and all the way up the eastern side of england and eastern scotland, some sunny spells here. more cloud to the north and west. still some outbreaks of rain and drizzle in the far north—west of scotland but drier than the last few days. most temperatures around the mid—teens. through this evening and tonight, we continue

with cloudy skies feeding in from the north—west, drifting southward. a bit more rain coming across the west of scotland. overnight temperatures, generally speaking 6—10 degrees. throughout thursday, the pressure pattern doesn‘t really change a great deal, except in the far north where this weather front will just edge a bit further southward, intensifying the rain across scotland throughout thursday, particularly to the west of the higher ground. again on thursday, a fair amount of cloud and probably fewer sunny spells compared to today, and they will be towards the east of the pennines and temperatures down a degree or so, 13 or 14 celsius. but temperatures will drop even further as we go into friday. cold air oozing right across the uk. all of us under the blue here. you can see the air is coming all the way from the arctic so a much chillierfeel on friday.

cloud clear in the south east. followed by some sunshine. a few showers, which could turn wintry over higher ground, and some snow, for example, over the grampians. but a big difference in temperatures, around 7—11 celsius, but with a strong northerly wind it will feel much colder than those temperatures suggest. that‘s it from me. goodbye. this is business live from bbc news, with ben bland and vishala sri—pathma. president trump has called it a "catastophe" and has threatened to pull the us out of it. now, can the world trade organisation reform itself? live from london, that‘s our top story on wednesday, 24th october. trade ministers from the wto are meeting to try to make it more effective in resolving trade disputes.

but absent from the talks — both the us and china, who are deep into a trade war. also in the programme... the eu says it‘s open to dialogue with italy, after ordering rome to rethink its 2019 budget plans, in an unprecedented move.
