everyone, staff, players, that the game goes ahead and we make sure we do him proud. maxine peake do him proud. maxine pea ke and do him proud. maxine peake and rory kinnear star in peterloo. find out what mark kermode thought of that and the rest of this week's releases in the film review. after one of the hottest summers on record this year, the met office has confirmed the uk has experienced more weather extremes over the last ten years compared to previous decades. the hottest days have become almost one degree centigrade hotter, while the coldest days are not as cold. the number of nights when temperatures stay above 20 degrees centigrade is increasing. the met office says the changes are consistent with man

made global warming. our environment editor, david shukman, has more. the year began with the punishing conditions of the beast from the east. roads were paralysed by snow. but 2018 also brought the total opposite. with intense heat in the summer. and the met office says that as the climate changes, more extremes like this are likely. the scientists went through weather records from as far back as the 1960s, tracking floods and other events and they confirmed what other researchers are saying, that the impacts of rising temperatures are already being felt. we often think of climate change as a problem for future generations, but what the numbers show in this new report is that we are already starting to experience the effects of climate change and these extreme events will continue to increase into the future.

so, for someone like me in his early 30s, it is my generation that are going to be experiencing the brunt of those effects. one effect of more intense heat is the risk of fires. this one, lastjuly in south wales, was one of many fanned by prolonged spells of high temperatures. even now, signs of the blaze are still visible. a reminder of why understanding weather extremes really matters. there's lots of different symptoms, the most obvious things being things like heatstroke or dehydration and they can have a myriad range of different symptoms in themselves, but there are also what people do not necessarily realise is heat can increase our risk of lots of different health conditions, things like stroke, heart failure and even heart attacks can be increased in risk by it. we are getting more so—called

tropical nights, worth the temperature does fall below 20 celsius. it is night—time heat that is most threatening to the elderly. there's lots of different symptoms, the most obvious things being things like heatstroke or dehydration and they can have a myriad range of different symptoms in themselves, but there are also what people do not necessarily realise is heat can increase our risk of lots of different health conditions, things like stroke, heart failure and even heart attacks can be increased in risk by it. the country has always faced storms and other dangers from the weather, but this latest research is a warning that they may become more threatening in future. david shukman, bbc news, in south wales. we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10.1i0pm and 11.30pm this evening in the papers. our guests will be michael booker, deputy editor at the daily express, and rachel cunliffe, comment and features editor at city am.

a paraplegic man is suing luton airport after staff there failed to provide him with a chair that he could wheel himself. justin levene said the rigid wheelchair he was offered could give him pressure sores and also remove his independence. his own chair had been left behind on a flight and he felt he had no option but to drag himself through the airport along the floor. our legal correspondent clive coleman has the story. what could have led to this? justin levene, a paraplegic, dragging himself through luton airport after his wheelchair was left behind by an airline. aged 20, justin coughed and herniated a disc, and an operation went wrong. but it hasn't held him back. he's become an international wheelchair athlete, trainer, and mentor to disabled athletes. in august last yearjustin arrived

back on a flight to luton airport. stranded without his self—propelling wheelchair, the airport offered him a rigid, high backed one which had to be pushed by someone else. i've worked very hard for a number of years to try and maintain all of my independence. and one of the biggest problems i had was, if i didn't have my wheelchair, my legs had been taken away from me. all of my self—sufficiency and all of my independence was no longer there. and to be in one of those chairs, it made me feel humiliated and degraded. if you are in those chairs and they insisted in trying to strap me down in it, i wouldn't have been able to adjust myself. and i would have been at risk of getting a pressure sore. pressure sores can occur very quickly, sojustin asked if he could be transported by a motorised buggy. but luton airport doesn't have them. at the heart ofjustin‘s dispute with luton airport is his claim that by failing to provide him with a self propelling wheelchair, the airport was in effect leaving him only one viable option, to haul himself along these floors for hundreds of yards,

denying him both his independence and his dignity. once outside the terminal, justin used a luggage trolley to wheel himself to his taxi. his own wheelchair was returned a day later. in a statement, luton airport says: a significant number of international and uk airports provide self—propelling wheelchairs. paralympian anne wafula—strike, who has also faced problems at airports, understands justin levene's actions. i would feel like my independence was being taken away, and honestly, as a disabled person we are still in charge of the type

of people we want to be. are we the people thatjust want to be pushed around, you know, for people to be feeling sorry for us? no. justin levene's story is at the cutting edge of thinking about disability issues. is it enough for service providers like airports to give some assistance, even if what they offer denies the disabled person independence? a criminal investigation has been launched into allegations of anti—semitic hate crime among labour party members. it comes after an internal labour party dossier detailing messages posted by members online was given to the head of the metropolitan police. our deputy political editor, john pienaar, has more. today, no escaping this question. mr corbyn, any response to the police investigation? good morning. any response at all about the police investigation? good morning.

how nice to see you. do you think the labour party... good morning. how nice to see you. goodbye. are you finally going to take action on this, mr corbyn? goodbye. jeremy corbyn badly wants to put this row behind him, but the accusations of anti—semitism in the labour party follow him, whichever way he turns. labour's been split and the leadership and attack for months. critics want more action, more regret at cases of anti—semitic abuse. corbyn loyalists claim the problem's exaggerated, but now police are on the case. we have been assessing some material which was passed, in fact, to me in a radio studio, of all things, about two months ago, and we are now investigating some of that material because it appears that there may have been a crime committed. the leaked file at scotland yard includes an online message calling one female labour mp a zionist extremist who's about to get a good kicking. four cases are said to be

under particular scrutiny for potential hate crime, though not labour as a whole. somejewish labour mps say it's a lesson to their party. the labour party, particularly in the wake of thejo cox murder, has a duty of care to its members, and they should have referred these matters themselves to the police. as a jewish mp, for whom the labour party was the natural home, i now go around feeling fear and always looking over my shoulder. jeremy corbyn commands huge labour loyalty — many, like him, critical of israel, but he agreed, under pressure, to a new definition of anti—semitism and promised support to british jews. i say this to all in the jewish community — we are your ally! seniorfigures accept there is more to do. we have anti—semitism in the labour party. we've improved our measures to deal with it. i don't want any anti—semite in my party, we want them out and, if they are guilty of a hate crime, we want them investigated and convicted too.

accusations of anti—semitism may already have cost labour manyjewish supporters. political opponents, from theresa may down, mean to attack on this front, convinced it'll hurt labour and maybe hinderjeremy corbyn‘s chances of winning power. there is anger and frustration in the party, but the main political casualty could be labour itself. john pienaar, bbc news. leicester city are preparing for their first match since the death of the club's owner in a helicopter crash at the weekend. strikerjamie vardy says city's players want to play at cardiff tomorrow so they can honour vichai srivaddhanaprabha who was one of five people killed in the accident outside king power stadium. natalie pirks reports. is one of the hardest, i think, weeks that myself and the lads have hurt to go through. it was another day of quiet reflection for leicester city players today.

but this isn't just about an owner. it is more personal than that. he wasn'tjust the chairman. he always made sure that he went out of his way to get to know you on personal levels as well with your families, he took us in as his extended family. so close with the players's relationships with vichai srivaddhanaprabha that he was a guest atjamie vardy‘s wedding to wife rebecca. as the shock subsides honouring his memory is now at the forefront of the players's minds. obviously, at first you think no, that hasn't happened, it's not possible. everyone is feeling the same. we are all hurting, but we know that he would want us out there, and we as a team and club wants to do him proud. they will attempt to do that tomorrow against cardiff city, their first game since the accident. senior members of the team will then fly to thailand for the funeral

of vichai srivaddhanaprabha, where his body has arrived at a buddhist temple in bangkok for a seven—day period of mourning. as a accident investigators continue to work outjust what caused the death of all five people on board, the players have tried to ease their pain by reflecting on their memories together of their friend, who always had a smile for everyone. natalie perks, bbc news. well, our reporter amy payne has been at the king power stadium today and sent this update. it has been yet another extraordinary emotional day here at the king power stadium. fans continue to come here to leave tributes, to pay their respects to vichai srivaddhanaprabha, a man who

has not just vichai srivaddhanaprabha, a man who has notjust won the affection of this club, but the city. the fans say he is the man who made the dream to reality. tributes have been steadily growing. they nice stretch around much of the north stand here at the stadium. of course, this tragedy happened nearly a week ago. it was after leicester city's clash with west ham here. it happened at around 8:30pm and the helicopter crashed into a car park close to the king power stadium. as people he was struggled to come to terms with what has happened, today we got an update on the investigation. the air accident investigation branch said it has now removed the wreckage from the site. it is night at a specialist facility in farnborough where it will be further examined for crucial clues, as well as the black box, the information from that

has been recovered and that will be analysed, as experts tried to establish what caused the helicopter to plunge to the ground just moments after take—off. tomorrow, to plunge to the ground just moments after ta ke—off. tomorrow, leicester city will play for the first time since this tragedy. they face cardiff. they are travelling down to cardiff. they are travelling down to cardiff for vacuum. we understand it was the decision by the players to ta ke was the decision by the players to take part in that match. there will be tributes from cardiff players and leicester players, which will understand being the flag of thailand being flown. the german's body has arrived in thailand and his funeral will start tomorrow and will last week. we expect some of the players to make their way to thailand after the game at cardiff. all premier league matches this weekend. but the minute's silence and players, including of course the leicester city squad, will wear black armbands as a mark of respect toa man black armbands as a mark of respect to a man who has notjust touch the

hearts of people here in leicester, but across the country and beyond. mobile phone networks have been suspended in parts of pakistan as protests continue for a third day against a supreme court decision to acquit a christian woman, aasia bibi, sentenced to death for blasphemy. schools across the most populous province, punjab, have been closed. in lahore, karachi and the capital, islamabad, roads have been blocked by protesters. reports from pakistan say the authorities have reached an agreement with protesters who've been demonstrating against the acquittal. under the agreement, aasia bibi will be barred from leaving the country. i'm joined from our washington studio by dr akbar ahmed from the american university, and former pakistan high commissioner to the uk. thank you for speaking to us here at

bbc news. first off, this latest development that an agreement has been reached between the protesters. i take it they are part of the tlp and the pakistan government. there are rumours and reports, a lot of this is still murky. the prime minister of pakistan and china right now. a lot of the reports need to be confirmed, but there are reports that some agreement has been reached with the tlp, the religious parties, at the same time there are reports that aasia bibi has been taken abroad, she is somewhere in europe in hiding. there are also reports recently confirmed the need to be further component that one of the main figures, one of the leaders of the religious parties has been assassinated. he was called at one

stage the father of the taliban. in the meantime, he wanted peace between the warring parties. there is some uncertainty as to where this will end. can imran can afford to ta ke will end. can imran can afford to take on the hardliners? what is behind this agreement, do they really have as much power over the country as they have in the past?m isa country as they have in the past?m is a difficult question to hampshire because no one ever knows the nature or strength of a mob. it is a mob. suddenly it is descending on shops, government buildings. at one stage they were threatening the three supreme courtjudges who were courageous enough to give this decision. they were announcing that those three should be killed under islamic law. they were inciting the soldiers of pakistan to rebel

against their own commander—in—chief. there are very high emotions. yes, there can be an agreement, but will the emotions quickly go back and settled down? i'm not so sure. the government has to tackle this very delicately. at the same time, when her action was needed, that time has gone because it was the time the prime ministers spoke to the nation. he spoke clearly a nd spoke to the nation. he spoke clearly and firmly. finally, i thought he was going to impose law and order, but then the government almost immediately back down and the prime minister left for china and there is this situation where some government ministers are being contradicted by other ministers. blasphemy is a hugely sensitive subject in pakistan. we have seen what has happened to aasia bibi. the mob, is to describe them, are in the minority. it is not in the way of

islam to kill. i either a justifying their actions? just for the record, this is not her pakistani law, blasphemy. before independence, you instituted this particular blasphemy law. this blasphemy law that pakistan is stuck with cannot be undone because it has come to be interpreted as a very important point in respecting the image of the prophet of islam. that is why it has become so sensitive. that is why you hear people saying we must have justice, fair play, the rule of law, but when it comes to the blasphemy law, all politicians back off because they realise that they touch

at the opposition will immediately attacked them and say you are yourself suggesting that you don't ca re yourself suggesting that you don't care for the honour of the prophet of islam and that becomes inflammatory. that is why even the supreme courtjudges were so bold to a quitter very quickly have made state m e nts a quitter very quickly have made statements saying we respect and love the prophet just statements saying we respect and love the prophetjust as much as any other muslim. doctor, ambassador, thank you very much. doctor, ambassador, thank you very much. sport now and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's hugh woozencroft. good evening. hibernian manager neil lennon may reconsider his position at the club due to the sectarian abuse he receives from football fans in scotland. it was reflected in one of the incidents that marred wednesday's edinburgh derby when he was struck by a coin after celebrating a disallowed hearts goal near the end of the game. as an irish catholic who has captained celtic, lennon believes he's singled out for sectarian abuse. he says that an effigy of him being hanged was put up outside tynecastle and he's put up with it

for long enough. i have been subjected to this for 18 years. i'm 47. i'm fed up with it. i'm the manager of hibs now. and i'm still getting it in the derby. whether that isolated incident is sectarian motivated or not, that effigy outside the ground before the game, for me, is sectarian, or racist, or whatever you want to call it. former arsenal striker nicklas bendtner has been sentenced to 50 days in prison for assaulting a taxi driver. bendtner broke the driver's jaw following a night out in copenhagen in september. the court was shown a video from inside the cab of the incident. the 30—year—old, who now plays for norwegian side rosenborg, has appealed the sentence. manchester city midfielder kevin du bruyne has been ruled out for around six weeks after injuring knee ligaments in yesterday's league cup win over fulham.

it was only the belgian‘s second start since returning from two months out following an injury to his right knee. he had to be substituted late on in the game after defender timothy fosu—mensah landed heavily on his left knee. one game in the championship this evening and that's aston villa against bolton wanderers. both teams have been struggling for form this season, but there's been an early breakthrough at villa park with jack grealish giving the home side the lead — his first goal of the season. olympic champion max whitlock narrowly missed out on gold at the world gymnastics championships in doha, finishing second in the pommel horse event. he was hoping to become the first british gymnast to win three consecutive world titles, but missed out by the smallest of margins, to take silver. he produced the same score as china's xiao routeng, but produced a lower execution mark. which saw him finish with a medal, but not the colour he would have wanted. the remarkable run of simone biles at thes championships continues. in her first international event

since taking a year off after rio, she became the first gymnast to win 13 world titles. she took gold in the vault — and followed that up with silver in the uneven bars. it takes her tally to three golds at these championships and she could add to that with two more indicidual events to come tomorrow. iam very i am very excited, especially about the bar medal because i have worked especially hard on boris. i am really excited. this comeback of yours, if we could call it that, it is going really well. is it going better than you expected ? is going really well. is it going better than you expected? most definitely. in the beginning everything is on the rocks and you're not so sure, but i have stuck about so far and the icons so far. there's another blow for england with news that manu tualagi is out of tomorrow's first autumn international against south africa with a groin strain. it's the latest in a long line of setbacks for the leicester

centre, but he should return to training on sunday ahead of next weekend's match with new zealand. head coach eddiejones has brought chris ashton in on the bench with the sale wing now in line to earn his first cap forfour years. there are two matches in the pro 1a nearing half—time. edinburgh lead the scarlets. while ospreys trail at home to glasgow. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in sportsday at 10.30pm. well, campaigning is well underway in the united states ahead of the midterm elections next week — all 435 members of the house of representatives, 35 seats in the 100—member senate and 36 out of 50 state governors, along with many state and local offices, are on the ballot. president donald trump is campaigning right now in huntington, west virginia. mr trump himself is not

on the ballot, but the midterms are considered by many as a test of his presidency, halfway through his first term. it's in his interests to keep republican control of congress. let's listen to a little of what he has to say. asian—americans, unemployment, have all reached the lowest levels in the history of our country. how do you lose that in a debate? it is always nice when you go into a debate it is a lwa ys nice when you go into a debate it is always nice to have the facts on your side. it will be tough to beat. wages are rising and it has been incredible. the jo wages are rising and it has been incredible. thejo scott wages are rising and it has been incredible. the jo scott announced they'll growing at the fastest pace in more than a decade. wages went up for the first time in a long time. people were making more money 19

yea rs people were making more money 19 years ago. i used to talk about it during the campaign where people had singlejobs and during the campaign where people had single jobs and there were making more money than they had with two or threejobs more money than they had with two or three jobs today. for the first time, wages are going up and going up time, wages are going up and going up nicely and people have a choice of lots of different jobs. up nicely and people have a choice of lots of differentjobs. right here in west virginia, jobless claims reached the lowest level in the history of your state. isn't that good? no wonder i won by 42 points. but then it was just talk. when i came i was campaigning. what did you know, i'm a politician? i guess i have to say, am i a politician? but they said things and we over perform, but it that way. west virginia is very happy and back call is coming back and our miners working again, folks also they are

working again, folks also they are working again. after years of rebuilding other countries we are finally rebuilding our country. and as you know very well, because the ligature walloped, republicans passed the mass of tax cut for working families and we will soon follow it up with another 10% tax cut for the middle class. we have ended the war on beautiful clean coal and we are putting our coalminers back to work. that you know better than anybody. remember when my opponent in the last race went to another state about four weeks before she got to west virginia angie was bragging how she was pointed at the coalminers out of work, remember that? and was pointed at the coalminers out of work, rememberthat? and i was pointed at the coalminers out of work, remember that? and i said, you know, i don't think that will play well in four weeks. she was in a

non—call state talking about how she was going to put the coal business out of business. it is doing great and countries are buying our call. the issue is buying massive amounts and you're back in business, folks. you wouldn't have been in business for another 12 months. going to be out of business in 12 months. you couldn't have suspended. i'm telling you, the timing was perfect. don't ever with that long. you were ready to go over the cliff. that was good. your miners are back in business. last year our coal exports rocketed by 65%. last year our coal exports rocketed by 6596. that is president donald trump has just arrived at huntington in west virginia. west virginia voted more for donald trump the money —— than any other state in the

nation. this is the first of two rallies he will be attending today, once he has finished there he will be heading over to indianapolis and there it is senator braun that he will be supporting. the midterms of quarter on tuesday. more now on our top story and the news that a met office report says the uk has experienced more weather extremes during the past ten years — warmer days are hotter and the winters are warmer too. so how should our cities and towns adapt to cope with climate change? i'm joined now by dr tarsha finney, who is an architect and urbanist at the royal college of art. we are talking about the figure of one celsius, but how will that ma nifest one celsius, but how will that

manifest within the urban environment? the report that has, it has said three things are happening. we have had warmer nights, high rainfall and just warmer, hotter summers. that manifests itself in many ways in the urban environment, to do with how we deal with rainfall, he colluding on buildings, and then of course how we deal with longer, hotter summers. mid-july there were concerns about the number of older people who had died. there is no confirmation yet that was directly linked. those figures are coming out apparently next year. the nhs has said that the extreme heat does highlight the shortcomings of some of their services. that will be

a challenge in hobby retrofit and address where the volatility and new extremes in temperatures in existing buildings, because we know we have this massively increasing ageing population. is this the implications of higher temperatures, aren't they already been taken into account when it comes to urban planning policy, or other government not taking it seriously enough yet?” or other government not taking it seriously enough yet? i think... one has to ask is it her thing that is addressed at the level of planning policy or at the scale of building? there are things that we know we can do in the scale of the building, at an architectural level, we know what those things are. higher insulation levels, double glazing. these things all, but how you address heat gain during the day by able to open up a

house or an apartment in the evenings to get cross ventilation, which is highly the address things like tropical nights. lots of us travelled to the mediterranean or said that the equator and there you have a lot of houses painted white. they understand how to cope with the heat. do you think it is changes like that we will see embraced within our urban climate? of course. one thing being experimented globally by things like painting black pitch and white. that has a real affect. it can do other things like what they are doing a lot in countries like germany which is planting roofs. it's gives further

ecology to the insects that we know we need back in urban centres. there are we need back in urban centres. there a re lots of we need back in urban centres. there are lots of things that we can do. thank you your time. let's get more from the united states. millions of voters on tuesday will head to the ballot in america. this has been regarded as their sare yet on the trump presidency. an election of character, said joe biden. americans will be casting their ballots for members of congress and many state governors. at the moment the republicans control both houses and president trump is campaigning. these pictures are live from huntington, where he is speaking at one of two rallies today. from there, he will be heading to indianapolis and he has been speaking a lot about the coal

industry. my colleague philippa thomas is crunching the numbers for us thomas is crunching the numbers for us in missouri. this state is key and it is partly because of that senate maps that you are talking about. currently, the republicans hold the upper house of congress, the senate — 51-49. the democrats want to turn that around and take control of the senate and wrest one of the levers of power away from the president. but to do that the democrats have got to hang onto their own senate seats and their most vulnerable senator is right here in missouri. the democratic senator claire mccaskill. and she faces the problem not only that donald trump is very popular here in missouri but also that he is spending a lot of time here campaigning for her opponent, josh hawley. so, let's give you a look at this particular contest. music. democrat claire mccaskill needs

all the help she can get. donald trump secured an easy victory in missouri. although no one here wants to name him, he is still defining the agenda. the very character of our country is on the ballot this time out. we have some doors to knock, we have some phone calls to make... fighting in trump country, mccaskill defines herself as a moderate, not liberal. that may not be enough to save her. we have got to get outside our comfort zone. we have got to talk to people we have never talked to before. which is why this first—time democratic candidate is putting in the hours to get out the vote. hi, there, i'm patrice billings, your democratic candidate for missouri. this photo says she is backing claire mccaskill, but patrice agrees the senator isn't taking anything for granted. no she is not and nor should she. she is at this moment in time not a slam dunk for re—election. she has found it matters

here to be a candidate conservatives can warm to. i am a gun owner. men love to talk about guns and weapons and i do too. they like to talk about circumstances that i have been involved in as a police officer and i do too. there has been a surge of new voters registering in this county, saint charles, but they don't have to say for which party and canvassing customers at this vintage car dealer's, i found many still driven by enthusiasm for mr trump. you were also nodding that you think energy is up for the conservatives? i think so and i think that the kavanaugh confirmation had a lot to do with that. where they are are just dragging him through the swamp and the sewers, trying to belittle him, the guy was kind of qualified.

—— highly qualified. i agree with trump on some things, some things i don't. he could stay off the twitter a little bit but at least you know how he feels about the subject. mccaskill or hawley? i have to go with hawley. hello? hi, my name is isabelle. local republican activists are not alone in trying to boost josh hawley‘s chances. isn't it an incredible honour to have president donald trump in missouri? it's amazing. the president will be back on monday, making this his last stop before election day, confident that he has the power to help republicans harvest those final, vital votes. this stage of the campaign is sometimes just called gotv — get out the vote. who is actually going to bother to get to the polls or cast their votes early but turn out on tuesday and this is where donald trump, it is really interesting. is he enthusing more voters

or is he turning them off? is he a tonic or is he toxic in terms of american politics? we won't know until the results come out on tuesday night. the brexit secretary dominic raab has visited northern ireland for talks with polticians and business leaders. the dup leader arlene foster said she hoped a deal on the deadlocked irish border question was close, but sinn fein accused mr raab of making a "flying visit" and acting like a thief in the night by not listening to the concerns of people living on the border. mr raab said he remained confident of getting a good deal. earlier i spoke to our ireland correspondent chris page and asked if there was any progress in on the border issue. there's certainly no sign of a breakthrough,

a definitive breakthrough on this issue which has really become the most difficult one in the brexit negotiations — how you avoid a hard border on the island of ireland. dominic raab came here to northern ireland today. he visited two ports, larne in county antrim and mourne point docks in county down, close to the border with the irish republic to meet business people. then he came here to stormount to meet the main political parties, the two biggest parties in northern ireland — the democratic unionists and sinn fein who as we've been saying see brexit very differently. the dup, whose ten mps are keeping theresa may in power at westminster, are passionate brexiteers. they say their bottom line though is there can't be anything agreed as part of the brexit deal that would mean there'd be trade barriers between northern ireland and the rest of the uk. sinn fein on the other hand passionately opposes brexit. sinn fein president mary lou mcdonald said that she had a direct meeting with dominic raab and she said that the brexit secretary had come here like a thief in the night. for a "fly—by—night visit", she

said, for a box—ticking exercise. more coffee shops, fewer pubs and more bookies. these are all signs of the changing face of our high streets, along with the closure of many shops. but you might not have thought about how it affects your health. the royal society for public health has analysed 70 major towns and cities, listing the nation's healthiest and unhealthiest high streets. our north of england correspondent judith moritz reports from grimsby. it is not an accolade the guidebooks will boast about. this is britain's unhealthiest high street. grimsby comes last in a report that ranks the kind of shops in 70 towns and cities. you walk down the high street and a lot of shops are buying goods, rather than selling to you. it says a lot, really. there is a betting shop, another betting shop, a charity shop, fair enough, but too many of them. when you walk along, what do you see? poverty. a lot of people are here that do have money, but the high street does not reflect that. high streets score highly if they have facilities
