they talk about the connection and we feel it too. we feel it too and we live with it, too. to finish the trip, more music. and a little encouragement from harry. they were here for just a day but they made every minute count. coming back to australia, an aborted landing as the couple's pilot spotted a possible obstruction on the runway. after a brief airborne tour of sydney, their plane landed safely. jonny dymond, bbc news, sydney. time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz schafernaker. the cold snap is upon us. is the first one we've had this season, and in the grand scale of things, it's not that cold, but compared to last weekend when we had temperatures up to the high teens, 20 degrees, this

distinctly feels like a cold icy blast from the north and there will be some wintry showers around in the scottish hills, and the north yorks moors. the cold front is b—movie gci’oss moors. the cold front is b—movie across the uk this morning. you can see the line of cloud here. behind it, the air is streaming from the arctic and we will see frequent wintry showers across the hills of scotla nd wintry showers across the hills of scotland but rain showers elsewhere. and the cold air is establishing itself not just across the and the cold air is establishing itself notjust across the uk but much of europe and reaching areas as far south as spain and portugal, as well, so this is what it looks like this afternoon. temperatures into single figures in the north. 11 celsius in the south. showers on the east coast and wales, and the northerly wind coming from the north, right down to the bottom. clear spells inland but further towards the east and far west, there will be showers and look at these temperatures in towns and cities, barely above freezing. 0utside temperatures in towns and cities, barely above freezing. outside of the cities, first thing on saturday,

it will be below freezing or thereabouts. tomorrow, showers around the eastern coast, the north sea, some in the western too but these temperatures will briefly be realised around the middle of the afternoon, so 6—9, but that's only briefly. it will feel a lot colder than that in the northerly outlook into monday, it is still looking pretty chilly. that's it. thanks, tomasz. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime. criticism for the labour peer who named sir philip green as the businessman accused of racial and sexual harassment. that's all from the bbc news at 0ne, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. england cricketer ben stokes has spoken

to the bbc for the first time since he was cleared of an affray charge, in august. he missed last winter's ashes series in australia, while he awaited trial. stokes is with the england side in sri lanka and says that despite the disciplinary hearing, he still faces, he feels able to concentrate on his cricket. joe lynskey has more. ben stokes‘ career had spent 11 months on hold. this was the moment he could focus on cricket again. he was found not guilty of affray after a six—day trial and then he was back in the england team. after a summer series with india, they had to spend autumn in sri lanka and that is where stokes spoke to the bbc for the first time since. i mean, look, it's all about looking forward now. we've got a huge summer coming up next year with the ashes and the world cup so everything's, you know, fully focused on that. looking at things that went on is not the way that i like to think about things, it's all about looking

to the future. stokes was on trial for his part of a fight in a bristol nightclub. that meant he was forced to miss the winter ashes series in australia. without him, england lost four of the five tests. can you appreciate people's interest in what happened, and the fact you weren't playing for england when people would have loved to have seen you playing for england? yeah, that's the best thing, you know, about going forward is, you know, everything that you do from here onwards is, you know, what people will hopefully remember, and it's what i'm trying to do. england are among the favourites for the world cup on home soil but stokes‘ hopes of playing rest on england's own disciplinary hearing. the panel meets in december, four months after the play was cleared. for now, stokes is embracing the crease and having to move forward. sloane stephens has taken the first set as she bids to come past the world number two and make

the semi finals of the wta finals. eighth seed kiki bertens has already reached the final four in singapore after naomi 0saka was forced to retire with injury. 0saka was down 6—3 in the first set when she took a medical timeout for a leg injury. and ended the match before the second set was under way. bertens only made the event because of injuries to other players. she moves on to play either elina svitolina or karolina pliskova in saturday's semi—final. england'sjustin rose and tommy fleetwood are tied for second at the world golf championship event in shanghai. rose went round in five under par — this recovery from the bunker at the ninth meant he didn't drop a shot and he's eight under overall. fleetwood is level with him after his round of four under par. they both trail leader american tony finau by three shots. jose mourinho has full confidence in his striker romelu lukaku despite the striker‘s eight game streak without a goal.

the manchester united manager doesn't appear worried ahead of their game against everton on sunday and says he has been expecting lu ka ku to score in every game. 0ne one day, his confidence level will be back to normal, which clearly they are not there. i always feel that every game is the game. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport back with more in the next hour. thank you very much indeed. all eyes will be on the chancellor on monday as he unveils his budget. the prime minister says austerity could be coming to an end. but can the chancellor, philip hammond, make good on her words? 0ur economics editor kamal ahmed,

business editor simonjack, and political editor laura kuenssberg have been looking ahead at what we can expect. there is a big challenge for the chancellor on budget day. the prime minister has said it is the end of austerity but philip hammond wants to control public spending. how will he square that circle? we have to raise taxes, maybe not immediately, that would get those forecasts for the future. will there be more tax, more spending? 0r the future. will there be more tax, more spending? or will there be more cups? with brexit round the corner, businesses are edgy. investors in things like new machinery, processes, training has been weak, so processes, training has been weak, so you'll look potentially for measures that will include those businesses to invest in those things, possibly by giving tax breaks to raise the annual allowance to what they can do tax—free.

breaks to raise the annual allowance to what they can do tax-free. like it or not, there is not very much money going spare. the governments already said they might have to raise taxes to pay for their big problems for the nhs but this is not a cove na nt problems for the nhs but this is not a covenant in the mood for finding huge amounts of cash for different government apartments. there is real pressure on education, a big gap defence, too, but do not expect this budget to be one of the ones that makes government history by being a moment and suddenly the money taps we re moment and suddenly the money taps were turned on. and we'll be covering the budget live here on the news channel from three o'clock on monday. the mayor of london sadiq khan has urged the eu to begin preparations to delay brexit to allow time for a further referendum or a change of government to negotiate what he calls a "good deal". he's held talks with the eu's chief negotiator michel barnier in brussels. the bbc‘s adam fleming spoke to him after the meeting. i know michel barnier has met this month with the leader of the dup.

has met those from the eit and agnes smith, lord trimble. it is important you have a different perspective. he is well aware that more than 700,000 marched in our capital city on saturday from all across the country lobbying the government to ask for our voices to be heard for the first time in relation to the outcome of the negotiations with the option of staying in the eu and he was a receptive. was scheduled for 30 minutes. that lasted an hour and i'm pleased i had the chance to make those points to him. was there any clue about what a future deal will leave financial services? what is clear community understands fully how london contributes to the well—being of the eu and that it is a global city, and we work closely with colleagues across europe and a bad deal, or even worse, no deal, would actually be bad for london and bad for the uk, but the point i made to him, in a courtuous,

non—patronising way is it would be bad for the eu as well. my concern is for people in paris, frankfurt, madrid who believe a bad brexit deal or no deal benefits them, they are mistaken because the jobs will not slow to those cities, they will go to new york, singapore and hong kong. just hearing from the press association who are saying the supermarket giant asda is to consult with staff over potentialjob losses next year which huge total up to 2500 jobs being lost. the supermarket giant asda, according to the press association, consulting with staff over potentialjob losses. we have had a statement from as they're saying in a competitive retail market their customers expect great value and ease of service, we

have to look at how we can work more quickly and efficiently for them, that inevitably means they have to consider changing the roles, changing at how we can work more quickly and efficiently for the customers and inevitably that means we need to consider changing the roles of people in our stores. that statement from asda, so the pa reporting that they are consulting staff over potentialjob losses of 2500 jobs. on sunday brazilians will vote in the second round of presidential elections. jair bolsonaro is the front runner in the race. a recent poll ahead of sunday's vote has him with 50 percent of the vote, and his opponent fernando haddad from the left wing workers' party on 35%. the campaign has been very polarizing — mr bolsonaro has made homophobic remarks on several occasions — and since then, there has been a spike in the reports of violent attacks on the lgbt community.

the ministry of human rights says it is investigating 88 hate crimes in the first two weeks of october. looking at these issues, camilla costa reports from sao paolo. these are the faces of the community under attack for their sexuality and their political opinions. dozens have taken to social media to report cases of verbal and physical attacks. this video shows men and women chanting the name of presidential candidate jair bolsonaro and shouting we will kill games and commoners on a wobbly ferry in rio day generic. jair bolsonaro is the right wing candidate who critics say his homophobic and misogynistic comments have endorsed attacks against the lg bt have endorsed attacks against the lgbt community and women. an unidentified transgender woman was

stabbed to death during an argument last week. police are still there hitting the murder in this neighbourhood well known for its lg bt neighbourhood well known for its lgbt q neighbourhood well known for its lgbt 0 community but some witnesses who saw the items from the apartment they could have been a hate crime. 0ne witness does not want to be identified because she fears that her life. a solid group of people screaming insults at each other in the bar and screaming insults at each other in the barandi screaming insults at each other in the bar and i thought it was just another fight but i distinctly heard someone sayjair another fight but i distinctly heard someone say jair bolsonaro and is faggots will die. i heard her cry, i do not want to die like this. i do not know what will happen to the lg bt not know what will happen to the lgbt community, there are a lot of us as we are a lgbt community, there are a lot of us as we are a big target. jair bolsonaro's supporters think we will wind the second—round vote on exhibit 28th. this has been the most divisive brazilian campaign in decades as an economic crisis, a rise in number of violent death in a

corruption scandal which has engulfed most political parties. jair bolsonaro has treated that he does not condone any type of violence in his name. —— he has tweeted. he denies being homophobic politician in 2013 told the bbc that no farther than take pride in having a 93v no farther than take pride in having a gay son. it is believed these comments could have made the situation with brazil's minorities. there was not necessarily a ten x connection between him and violent groups but people who did not feel able to say aggressive things or cause violence now feel they can. backin cause violence now feel they can. back in downtown sao paulo, a vigil is being held for the murder transgender woman. this is a community used to being persecuted. it isa community used to being persecuted. it is a national —— its national ngos said brazil has the highest number ever lgbt q ngos said brazil has the highest number ever lgbt 0 people being murdered in the world and these

people feel brazil will come a new place. the designer of a cot in which a seven—month—old baby boy ‘choked to death' has been jailed for three years and four months. leeds crown court heard how 0scar abbey got his head stuck while trying to crawl through a gap in the bed in november 2016. prosecutors said that craig williams, the owner of playtime beds limited, which sold the cot to oscar's parents, had given reassurances that it was suitable for children aged six or seven months. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news... sir philip green says he "categorically and wholly" denies allegations of "unlawful sexual or racist behaviour." lord hain has defended naming him as the man behind a court injunction. mps have accusing the department responsible for univeral credit, of having a "fortress mentality" about the hardships it's causing. police in the united states have searched a postal

sorting office near miami as they try to identify who sent ten suspected pipe bombs to prominent critics of president trump. the business news... royal bank of scotland is setting aside £100m to deal with "the more uncertain economic outlook". rbs is among the first big banks to make such a provision in the run—up to the uk's exit from the eu. profits before tax rose 10 per cent year on year, to £961m. the owner of tsb ,the spanish bank sabadell has had to set aside another £78 million to pay for the it meltdown at tsb earlier this year, on top of 180 million it put aside three months ago. the bank has commissioned its own inquiry and, injune, the financial conduct authority launched a formal investigation into the meltdown. and a mixed bag of results

for the world's biggest technology companies — some good numbers but even so the shares have been sliding. alphabet — the owners of google — saw its share price down by as much as 8%. amazon shares declined by more than 5%. this month has been the most volatile month on the us stock market for over 100 years. what's significant about that is that it shows the level of uncertainty among investors — they simply don't know what's coming next — trade war, brext no—deals, inflation, higher interest rates, even a new nuclear arms race. the national institute of economic and social research is britain's oldest independent research institute. it received no direct funding from governments or other sources, and its latest research shows global growth slowing from 4% down to 3.5% next year. doctor garry young, director of macroeconomic modelling and forecasting at the national institue of economic

and social research. why the slowdown? the slowdown is coming about because economies are growing too fast. the us economy, for example, has been growing at 3% per year and they were expecting any long—term that it could only grow at 296 long—term that it could only grow at 2% per year and long—term that it could only grow at 2% peryearand a long—term that it could only grow at 2% per year and a similar pattern is true also in germany and other major economies because of demographics and issues like that, the economies are bound to slow down a little bit in the medium—term, so i would say a slowdown from 4% to 3.5% is a good outcome. i was trying to think whether this is going to be a dramatic slowdown. is this one that is accompanied by stock market colla pses ? is accompanied by stock market collapses? no. there are issues of that risk but lots of uncertainty

around, but in the uk we do not then what will happen brexit and in the us, they do not know what will happen about fiscal policy in the next few years so the us has been spending a lot of money on governments spending and that may slow down quite sharply, we do not know what will happen about tariffs and there are economies in the world like argentina, turkey, where they are reacting badly to us military policy so there is a lot of different things out there and i would not be surprised if the slowdown was stronger than that. our forecast, are subject to a certainty to pick up the central games but we are trying to cut the risks and that is what marketers focusing on any moment. i know you are a macroeconomic experts wielded the big picture but can you bring it down to the ordinary person in the street in uk? if we have this slowdown or a modern magic one, will they feel it? - would do. it's they feel it? you would do. it's partly depends on what is happening

to brexit because this is... the world economy is important to the uk because brexit is a big risk. —— bewilder conley is important in the uk but brexit is a risk. if there was a soft brexit and a good lesson to the european union, we would expect growth to be very similar to the growth rate we are seeing at the moment which is quite decent. the risk is if we had a heart brexit, there are would be no trading with there are would be no trading with the eu on the same ten at the moment, and it could slow down a lot more. we would put that risk of a move to an orderly heart brexit as being the economy not growing at all instead of close to 2.5% with a soft brexit. thank you very much indeed. now, if you're... sorry, not sure why that went black.

now, if you're fortunate enough to be aged between 26 and 30, you can sign up to a new railcard that will get you a third off most leisure fares. it's valid for 12 months and will costs you £30. the rail industry trialed the card a few months ago — limiting it to 20,000, they've now extended it to all 4 million people in the country that fit that age bracket. now e—cigarettes — some claim its a way out of smoking cigarettes. the us regulator — the food and drug administrator — aren't too sure and have launched a campaign against firms marketing e—cigarettes in a way that appeals to under—age user — and as a result, altria, the tobacco firm which owns marlboro, will stop selling several of its e—cigarette products.the devices being withdrawn represent about a fifth of the e—cigarette products sold by the company. hm revenue & customs has launched a campaign to help the property industry spot signs of money laundering. the hmrc says that it believes hundreds of billions of pounds is entering the uk annually,

latest in the united states very fa ct latest in the united states very fact that the reason pipe bombs that have been sent to opponents of president trump including hillary clinton and we are hearing now that there had been ten suspicious packages discovered so far but we are hearing about an 11 that has been found in florida. this one is addressed to the democrats senator cory booker. that has been reported by various american media, just been confirmed according to reuters by the fbi. there had been a whole state of packages as i say but we are also hearing from cnn, the cable news network, they are reporting the new york city police are also investigating another suspicious package at a postal facility there in new york city. that would possibly be a 12. not yet clear if thatis possibly be a 12. not yet clear if that is the total number now but it seems at least one more suspect package has been discovered,

possibly two more in fact it was in florida, to that democrat senator cory booker, and it sounds like also one discovered in new york city. we'll bring you much more on that. it comes as the us media and the media have been in a war with president trump about hypocrisy. the philippines is re—opening its crown jewel resort island of boracay today. it was shut for six—months to clean up and repair the damage inflicted by years of mass tourism. it will now have fewer hotels and restaurants — and a cap on the number of visitors. and there are also new rules aimed at taming its party—hard reputation. michael bristow reports. with just —— with just days to go, a newsagent limited by his being laid on the seafront and the road is

being widened. restaurants and shops are being spruced up. many shabby and illegally built hotels are being torn down. the ugliness of what boracay has become an project com pletely boracay has become an project completely vanished. the behaviour also have the change of smoking and drinking alcohol on the beach are now banned striker was to sign and out to keep the island pristine. the philippine president, rodrigo enacts order to close the island for six months saying it became a cesspool. the turquoise waters were polluted from the 2 million people who visited each year. the and unplanned way there are allowed to enjoy themselves did not help. we had already said sustainable tourism. 0ther already said sustainable tourism. other popular sites are being told to cut visitor numbers by half. it is not just a to cut visitor numbers by half. it is notjust a problem for the philippines. rising incomes in east asia means more to risks. many places famed for the natural beauty

have for many beans boiled. the picturesque bay in thailand used in the film is being closed indefinitely to save it from destruction. boracay in the philippines is known as a paradise island but once was, that reputation helped us to be easily the game. confirmation from new york police that they are investigating a suspicious package there in manhattan and also another one found in florida. that is the nypd statement, a report of a suspicious package, they are responding to end where 52nd st and eighth ave. now the weather. thank you. the weather will certainly be very colder than actually daytime back to this time last weekend. weekend is almost upon us, 20 celsius is what we had last weekend in one of two sports it. in the next 2a hours, the images into

single figures right across the country. the cold front has been sweeping across the uk in the last 24 sweeping across the uk in the last 2a hours or so, the next satellite picture looping from 24—hour ‘s and the notion of the cloud coming straight at the norwegian sea and the winds coming out of the artic, going through is cortland, from the uk into france and some of that cold air is going to find its way all the way down to spain and portugal. the weather forecast was happening, temperatures peaking at 10—11dc in the south but a lot of 7—85 in the north. wind blowing straight through into tomorrow, in line showers affecting eastern areas, some western areas, too, and wherever there are hills, there could be sleek and snow. temperatures in city centres will be barely above freezing. al-qaeda city centres, a fraction below freezing so that means saturday starts off on a very chilly note. further showers around

and that will turn more north—easterly but more noticeable on the north sea cows, going to part of lincoln share as well. then, sunday with this orientation of high pressure and if you follow the eyes of ours, that is where the wind comes from again. on sunday, more of a north, north—easterly. that is important because the water temperature in the north sea is a bit higher than normally so perhaps temperatures will not be quite so low on sunday said it might pick up elisabeth, not to say maybe 10 celsius, made even 12 celsius but you will not notice it. we're talking about semantics. we are talking about semantics. we are talking about semantics. it is still going to be nippy. a lower temperature when you add to the strength of the wind. this will across europe. cold air to the north, one running out of africa and the weather is not looking great across europe during the course of sunday for the year that clash of the cold and the warm, the snow

across the alps so it is looking pretty messy across europe while the experienced this chilly that which will continue into monday. sir philip green says he "categorically and wholly" denies allegations of "unlawful sexual or racist behaviour", as lord hain defends naming him as the man behind a court injunction. i believe it was the right thing to do. i could visit extremely serious. is anybody he was using parliamentary privilege always does. police investigating the pipe bombs in the united states focus on a sorting office in miami, there are reports in the last few minutes of more suspicious packages. universal credit is causing ‘unacceptable hardship' to many claimants, according to mp5. archaeologists move more than 40,000 skeletons to make way for a new railway station in london.
