for meghan, at least 1a weeks pregnant, 3 tiring tour. so, how was the trip? "pretty great," says harry. thanks, guys. johnny dymond, bbc news, rotorua. lots of sunshine on the royal tour. let us look at the weather prospects here. autumn has been flexing its muscles, we have seen its chilly aside the past few mornings. but thanks to the southerly flow today, temperatures recovering, not bad if you are trick or treating this evening. more in a moment. this afternoon, a couple of week weather france in northern ireland and northwest scotland —— weather fronts. look at the temperatures, widely across the board closely if not in double figures. if you are out trick or treating this evening, we have a few showers focusing themselves on western areas, northwest scotland, north—west

england, a few for northern ireland, west and wales, far south—west. away from that, a lot of fine and dry weather, not as cold as recent evenings. tonight, the two areas of rain will merge together and meet another area of rain pushing up from the south into east anglia and lincolnshire. most seeing some rain at some point and underneath the cloud, it will not be quite as cold overnight, temperatures not falling so overnight, temperatures not falling so far, with the exception of northern ireland and scotland. thursday is a bit of a clearing up story, clearing up from the west with sunshine gradually emerging but the rain and staying its welcome in the rain and staying its welcome in the south—east and into east anglia and lincolnshire, staying for much of the day. temperatures in line with today. showers peppering perhaps the western half of the country. the rain clears overnight, a ridge of high pressure starts to

build. under clear skies, another chilly night thursday into friday. widespread frost may be mist and fog around friday morning. dry and crisp sunshine on friday. things start to goa sunshine on friday. things start to go a little bit downhill approaching the evening as this area of rain edgesin the evening as this area of rain edges in two northern ireland and thatis edges in two northern ireland and that is courtesy of a fairly deep area of low pressure working its way in from the atlantic and wrapped up in this, the remnants of ex—hurricane oscar, bringing gusty winds, particularly to parts of north—west scotland where we could see costs of 65 mph. widely windy on saturday with outbreaks of rain. yes, some treats in the forecast, but also one or two tricks. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime. new measures to stop violent attacks on nhs staff. the government calls

for zero tolerance approach. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me. and on bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. have a fairly good afternoon. good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. wales' most—capped rugby union international gethinjenkins will retire from the sport this weekend. he'll call it quits after cardiff blues match in the proili, after earning 129 caps for his country, and taking in five lions tours. daffyd pritchard is a reporter for bbc sport wales, he says the the timing is somewhat unexpected. it's something of a surprise because the timing of it, we might have expected them to make the call at the end of the season but he's described the reason is being his

chronic knee injury. he has been nursing this injury for a long while. he is 37. we have seen some props while. he is 37. we have seen some pi’ops go while. he is 37. we have seen some props go longer with his career that he had issues with his calf. not entirely surprising he has called time on his career, perhaps the timing slightly surprising. wales's most capped player. what kind of legacy does he leave with his country? is a huge legacy, you think of props such as graham price, like gethinjenkins, british of props such as graham price, like gethin jenkins, british lions of props such as graham price, like gethinjenkins, british lions who modernised the game. you look at gethinjenkins only modernised the game. you look at gethin jenkins only think modernised the game. you look at gethinjenkins only think of the professional era of rugby union worldwide and they can't be many loose head prop to leave the greater legacy than him. 129 caps for wales, five test appearances for the lions. it is the manner in which he played, a dynamic of nature in the loose. he will leave a great legacy. brexit could lead to more home—grown football players getting an opportunity to play at the highest level. that's according to the professional players federation,

which is the national organisation for professional player associations in the uk. they say any restrictions on free—movement of players from the eu could help younger, british players break through to first teams. at every given saturday or wednesday night when the matches are on, only about a third of the players are eligible to represent england in football. so, there is a big problem with the free movement of players from the eu. any restriction, whatever that may be, and we just don't know may have a benficial effect for encouraging home grown talent and maybe they'll be given more time in first teams. as we say, we don't know how it is going to pan out. well, in statement the premier league say leicester city have confirmed that they will play their premier league match against cardiff this weekend. their edl cup match was postponed last night following the death of vichai srivaddhanaprabha and four others in a helicopter crash at the weekend. and the players instead laid wreaths at the king power stadium. in tonight's league cup

fixtures derby county boss frank lampa rd returns to stamford bridge for the first time as a manager. his side beat manchester united and his former bossjose mourinho in the previous round. and the last time he came up against chelsea he scored a late equaliser for manchester city. he says he's relishing tonight's return. we go to manchester united with one thing that the opportunity to go here so seeing it is big for me, pick players. it got a lot of young players here. they are very driven and wanta players here. they are very driven and want a play the premier league, against premier league teams. they deserve the occasion, the opportunity to go up against what is a fantastic chelsea side no matter who they put out. and a referee in south america had to be escorted from the pitch, after a penalty was awarded by var. gremio of brazil were playing argentina's river plate in the semi finals of the copa libertadores — south america's equivalent of the champions league.

when the video assistant referee awrded a contentious spotkick which river plate scored, cue the furious reaction from the gremio players, riot police, and a nine—minute delay to the match which river plate won. i'll have more for you in the next hour. indonesia's transport minister has ordered the grounding of all lion air flights after one of its boeing 737 planes crashed on monday shortly after takeoff, killing all 189 people on board. indonesian search and rescue workers believe they have found the fuselage of the plane after sonar technology located a large underwater object in the area of the crash. rebecca henschke reports. there are many questions and this move was an order by the transport ministry after meeting with lion air. they've ordered the grounding of all lion air flights and a full inspection of the type of plane that crashed,

this boeing 737 max 8, a new plane, a very new plane that crashed. they've ordered a full inspection of all the lion air planes and also the state airline, garuda. they've also said a fuller investigation is taking place now. but for now, that's the sanctions they've handed out. the crews out near the port where i am, they're still searching for the main part of the plane. they have detected an object they think is the main part of the plane that holds those black box recordings, that will give them more detail about exactly what went wrong with the plane crashing in daylight and in good weather. the number of electric cars on our roads has dramatically increased in recent years, but how far can a fully—charged one go on the open road?

our transport correspondent, tom burridge has been round a test track to find out more. my first ever drive in an electric. there is, thankfully, a chill mode that does reduce power somewhat, which i'm very keen to turn on, as teslas are quite potent. you want me to drive in chill mode? sounds all right to me! instinctively, i would like to buy an electric car. but i'm waiting for the right moment. when is the right moment? if you're driving up and down the motorway every day, long trips, it's probably a little bit too early, but for the vast majority of people nowadays, there is an electric car that suits them. so will and his colleagues are on a mission to answer an important question. now, manufacturers publish official

ranges for all electric cars, butjust like fuel economy figures for petrol and diesels, these are typically very optimistic. what we're trying to do is give electric car buyers, or potential electric car buyers, a realistic figure that they can achieve, real—world driving. the same conditions are applied to each vehicle. this is quite a high—tech piece of gps timing gear. it ensures the cars are driven on exactly the same route at identical speeds, with the same tyre pressure, the air con set at the same temperature, you name it. and the results... well, the range was on average a0 miles less in real conditions. the range of electric cars needs to improve. some reasonably affordable electric cars can do over 250 miles on a charge, and that's a big leap, and that will encourage more people to go electric. but also you've got the charging infrastructure. so if you've got a charging

point at home and you've got off street parking, that's one thing, but if you live in london and you park on the street, where are you going to park yourcarup? but a new solution could be coming soon to a lamppost near you. in southwark, in london, charging points use the electricity inside. there are something like 700,000 lampposts in london and seven million across the uk, lots of which are right near where cars are. so the perfect situation to be able to install a charge point without needing to dig up the road. the government gives you £3,500 towards an electric car, and subsidises companies and councils installing charging points, including faster ones for those longer journeys. in the uk, we currently have around 900 rapid chargers, so these are chargers that will charge a car in 20 to 30 odd minutes. the uk as a whole will need somewhere between 4,000—7,000 rapid over the next five years. it's cheaper and greener,

but the transition to electric will take time. tom burridge, bbc news. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news. new measures to protect nhs staff will be introduced to try to reduce the thousands of assaults every year. the us calls for a ceasefire in yemen and an end to airstrikes by the saudi—led coalition within 30 days a christian woman convicted of blasphemy in pakistan has her death sentence overturned. hello, this is your business news. regulators are going to look into the way we are being charged for home and car insurance. the financial conduct authority will examine if policies are being priced according to loyalty, age and whether we apply online. sales at jaguar land rover plunged my more than 13%

in the three months to september. it sold around 130,000 cars during that period. that led to a pre—tax loss of £90 million. shares in next have fallen by around 3% after its third quarter results failed to impress investors. it reported a 2% rise in sales — that's a slight slowdown on the month before. but it's forecasting annual sales growth of 3% this year. the country's biggest car maker has seen a sharp fall in sales. jaguar land rover sold 13% fewer cars in the three months to september than it did in the same period last year. the company lost £90 million and that's especially startling because it actually made a profit in the third quarter of 2017. nathan coe is from autotrader. thanks forjoining us. what has gone

wrong? i think you see with jaguar land rover they are facing a number of the same problems that many other manufacturers in this country have at the moment. those kinds of broad issues are one of fuel, there's been short on impact as a result of new testing procedures that have been introduced into the uk. they are coming to terms with the demonisation of diesel and a sharp decline in diesel vehicles. also, they are trying to work through how do they get a building profitable electric vehicles at scale. when you look at the combination of those factors, for richmond factory like jaguar land rover, they sell mine out of ten diesel vehicles. it sounds to me from what you have just said they are perhaps a little slow to adapt to what is going on in the world. i think at the moment jaguar land rover have a number of new

electric models they have introduced, historically the product range has been more diesel orientated but they've got some of the electric vehicles that are turning heads. they have seen strong growth in those areas. it isn't enough to offset some of the impact they have seen in china where they have been impacted by something a little more than just mix. have been impacted by something a little more thanjust mixlj have been impacted by something a little more than just mix. i hate to mention that the word, but has brexit had a effect on this. ever since the vote really come at the time of the vote one thing that we did see impact the country economically was the exchange rate. the new car market in the uk is quite exposed to that. it affects the price they need to sell the cars. prices have gone up on new ca i’s cars. prices have gone up on new cars says that early brexit vote. but a sudden impact on demand. in addition to that, you have got manufacturers looking to march and

needing to understand what are their plans and investments, particularly for electric vehicles and how they might be impacted by tariffs. brexit is playing a part in what manufacturers will be thinking about. thank you very much. a look now at some of the day's other business news. business leaders could be hired as uk diplomats under plans being unveiled today. foreign secretaryjeremy hunt is expected to announce the creation of almost a thousand diplomatic roles, with some of them available to non—civil servants for the first time. sa ntander has reported its uk profits. they fell 13% to £1.11 bilion for the nine months to september. the spanish bank is europe's biggest lender, by market value, and the uk accounts for a fifth of its profits. mps are telling the government to "get a grip" on spiralling costs and delays that have plagued the sellafield nuclear site. the public accounts committee says some projects at the site have been delayed by more than a decade.

ajapanese train company has halted a controversial training practice. the exerercise meant staff having to crouch in tunnels while trains rushed past at speeds of up to 300 miles an hour. the west japan railway company said the idea was to improve safety awareness. the practice was scrapped after objections from unions. positive moves on the ftse — this follows strong gains on wall street yesterday. not much happening on the market, it appears! thank you very much indeed. the prime minister and the labour leader have clashed in the commons over the chancellor's budget. jeremy corbyn said austerity was not over, and that the government had produced a "broken promise budget". let's get more from our assistant political editor, norman smith.

thanks very much indeed. that is perhaps one thing we can thank the chancellor for, and that is we've got something else to talk about other than brexit. austerity is the new issue with bothjeremy corbyn and theresa may swapping blows. i don't think we saw a knockout moment, it is pretty much tit—for—tat, a score draw or both jeremy corbyn seem to get into a bit ofa jeremy corbyn seem to get into a bit of a muddle over what his party's sta nce of a muddle over what his party's stance is on the tax cut on high earners. let's mole it all over. i enjoyed by mary craig, andrewjones and sammy wilson. although austerity minors be overcome it is nevertheless a treat if the chancellor has eased austerity. what

we have seen this more money going into the national health service but next year the planned £1.2 billion of cuts to local authorities will ta ke of cuts to local authorities will take place. we've got no new money for the police and the extraordinary move today where the police chiefs are taking the government to court over the move to try and get them to shoulder their police pension scheme contribution. more money in this budget for potholes than for schools show the chancellor has got all the wrong priorities. lilly put its due, you are getting £20 million more for the nhs, you are getting 2.7 alien powers to reverse the cursed universal credit, a commitment not to have any more pfi, a possible google tax, they are pretty similar to labour policies. the chancellor is serious for google tags they would've done what we did with the windfall tax. made to buy from midnight. all we will see is giving the company ‘s notice to move their profits, move their turnover,

changed and accounting policies offshore. i can promise you there is a higher risk associated with this tax. by the time it comes it'll be a damp squib if it ever comes in. i'm not convinced by that at all. on plastics, we were promised last year we would be a world leader in tackling plastic pollution. what do we see? no tax on plastics and the plastic produces is given for years to clean their act. the difficulty in arguing austerity is over, for many people who rely on public services whether it is the local community, policing, schools, actually, austerity continues because government departments will receive a flat zero rate increase. austerity has clearly finished because we have seen a great change. it hasn't finished. we have been on a long journey in our country to get out a long journey in our country to get our accounts back into balance. we have seen the result of all of that work good this week with the biggest

ever cash injection into the health service, with huge tax cuts. we don't know what the spending review will be next year but we have to recognise that after eight years, when we have seen public expenditure being cut, the next five years will see a growth of 1.2% in real terms. this is a turning of the corner. isn't the problem for you, you are trying to out jeremy isn't the problem for you, you are trying to outjeremy corbynjeremy corbyn. you will never promised to spend more than jeremy corbyn. you will never promised to spend more thanjeremy corbyn. corbyn. you will never promised to spend more than jeremy corbyn. we are not seeking to out jeremy corbyn jeremy corbyn. we wanted to put more money into public services, have accounts in balance, to share the proceeds with the british people. we're not trying to do that.|j proceeds with the british people. we're not trying to do that. i am guessing most people will welcome the easing in austerity but the difficulty is this is based on forecast, not based on real money, based on an assessment by the obi are. isn't this easing of austerity

fragile? it might just are. isn't this easing of austerity fragile? it mightjust not be possible and maybe they will have is to have tax rises. the decision that we re to have tax rises. the decision that were announced on monday were based on real money, the increased tax receipt of this year and therefore the chancellor made the right decision not to try and out jeremy corbyn, jeremy corbyn. there are issues that need to be addressed, we've got money to do it, we're not going to risk the long—term plan of getting the get down because we can't afford to. we've got his targets many where he believes it can be most effective. it is right to give people money in their pockets, but many into the health service and deal with the problems that might arise as a result of a change in universal credit. at the same time, he has to bring the debt down. we are paying on interest on the debt every year, just an interest, the full amount of money

that goes to northern ireland, scotland and wales. that is an amazing figure. i don't think the chancellor can walk away from that. mr hammond is basically parked deficit reduction. that is assuming the economy does ok and berries at the economy does ok and berries at the nine brexit steel. the growth hmmfia the nine brexit steel. the growth forecast a fairly modest. he is basing it on 1.5% over the next four years. i believe that those growth hmmfi years. i believe that those growth forecast are years. i believe that those growth fore ca st a re lower years. i believe that those growth forecast are lower than what the well— being of reality which i forecast are lower than what the well—being of reality which i don't acce pt well—being of reality which i don't accept the doom and gloom around brexit is that the people have accepted. isn't there a need for politicians to level the quotas, austerity is be used but it will continue whoever gains power. if you look at labour's record, you are not suggesting you are going to end the

freeze on working age benefits, you are not going to radically pour money back that has been cut from areas like local government over the past 80 years, that level of austerity will continue whoever wins. i don't think that's true. in oui’ wins. i don't think that's true. in our manifesto we were clear that we we re our manifesto we were clear that we were putting more money into the public services. what we saw from the chancellor is some sleight of hand, the money for the nhs is being taken from the capital budgets, the training budget of the time when we have a nurse recruitment and gp recruitment crisis. what we know is the elephant in the room on monday was brexit. the chancellor was clear, he would be coming in with an emergency budget in february if there was a no deal. this is a way of getting the dup, who had the general settlement for belfast, and tory backbenchers to fall into line for the deal which the prime minister hopes to bring back at the very end of december, running right

into the christmas recess. if she fails to do that, all bets are off with the public finances. was this boat did to keep people like you on board the head of the vote? boat did to keep people like you on board the head of the vote ?|j boat did to keep people like you on board the head of the vote? i do think it was. many of the things we asked for we did not get. i read that in the house. what i think the chancellor did do was he recognised there were certain monies that he had available, there were problems that needed to be addressed. i'm glad some of that money came to northern ireland but i don't think we got a proportionate share of the many which he had available. all bets are off if that isn't a brexit deal, mr hammond suggested that? we know there will be a big implication whatever the brexit deal will be but i'm confident there will be a deal and everybody is working to ensure thatis and everybody is working to ensure that is one. if that is a huge economic events, brexit could be won, but it could be a trade war between the us and china. if the

circumstances change it is appropriate to come back and have a look. but what we have seen is the biggest cash injection for the nhs in its history, significant tax cuts. there are areas where we are making progress. thanks very much indeed. i have failed, itold making progress. thanks very much indeed. i have failed, i told these people before we began that i wasn't going to mention brexit and lo and behold, where have i ended up? you have done it again, norman! must do better. thank you very much indeed. now it's time for a look at the weather. after a brief flirtation with autumn's colder side we will see something mild as we head towards the weekend. it want to be plain sailing. southern areas of the uk are seeing temperatures recover sailing. southern areas of the uk are seeing temperatures recover a little bit courtesy of the southerly wind. as we head through the afternoon with gut week when the floods, want to northern ireland into scotland. the other stretching

to southern scotland. if you are out trick or treating this evening, what is the forecast? there are a few showers, mainly in western areas. wintry on higher ground in scotland. a few showers for northern ireland, west and wales and down towards the south—west but away from that fine and dry and not as cold as it has been. as we go through this evening, those two areas of rain will emerge working their way eastwards. they will meet another area of rain pushing in from the south. most of seeing some rain at some point. the temperatures will fall away quite as low as they have been with the exception of northern ireland in north—west scotland. maybe some mist and fog around as well. temperatures falling away too far elsewhere. through thursday, the clearing process. the cloud giving away to brighter skies in the west, that

rain out staying is welcome in lincolnshire and east anglia. away from that comment is light and bright with one or two showers peppering western coast, may be reaching parts of the west midlands. temperatures once again more or less where they are today. that rain clears away on thursday night, a ridge of high pressure builds on. it is fine and dry but clear skies once again. we could have a touch of mist and fog around first being on friday. essentially, it is a fine day. settled with lots of sunshine around the block at this. the rain will editor into parts of northern mime and bringing with it some gusty winds as well. courtesy of this deep area of low pressure, spiralling out in the atlantic and mixed up in here, the remnants of hurricane oscar. that will bring gusty winds to scotland in particular. we could see guests of around 65 miles an hour. look at those temperatures,

back up into the mid teens. hello, you're watching afternoon live. today at 2:00. the government pledges zero tolerance on violence — as attacks on nhs staff hit a five year high in england. we don't go to work to take abuse. we don't go to work to get punched, kicked, kidnapped, bit, spat at — but all these things happen. yemen's humanitarian crisis — the united states calls for a ceasefire within 30 days. violent protests in pakistan as the death sentence is lifted on a christian woman accused of blasphemy. coming up on afternoon live all the sport with hugh. and a welsh rugby great has hung up his boots.
