at least five people. the deaths occurred in butte county, where a massive blaze has devastated the town of paradise. the bodies of the dead were found in burnt—out cars. tens of thousands of people have been forced to evacuate their homes. yemeni forces — backed by the saudi—led coalition, which is supported by the us and the uk — have launched a major offensive to take full control of yemen's port city of hodeidah. aid agencies say it could trigger a famine. britain's prime minister theresa may and the french president emmanuel macron have laid a wreath at the thiepval memorial in france, as part of ceremonies marking 100 years since the end of the first world war. now on bbc news, newsbeat: diy generation. hi, i'm jamz supernova. i present on bbc radioi

xtra and every week, i speak to young entrepreneurs, hearing their stories and finding out how and why they went it alone. the number of16—21i—year—olds working for themselves has almost doubled since 2001. better technology means that people can now work from anywhere and at any time. as well as a radio presenter, i also dj, run a record label and create club nights. i want to speak to other entrepreneurs to find out why 9—5 isn't for them and how they're trying to make it work. so i'm travelling around the country to follow the journey of four businesses and the young entrepreneurs behind them. the first person i've come to meet is keaton. we've met before when he came on my radio show. keaton‘s a photographer. he normally earns about £850 per shoot but he also sometimes works for free. he's photographed

artists, djs and me. hey, keaton. these are out taking pictures of his mates in the southwood skate bar. yes, it was kind of where the whole creative side of me took place. with skating for me, it is very angular and you always want to get the best angles. so for me, i kind of adapted that, brough that forward to portraits. again, that's what i like. you mentioned you dropped out of university. what happened 7 lastjuly, i lost my mum, sor for me it was the first sense of being alone and being still employed anyway, you are very alone because it is just you, but i am using the energy that she gave over when she got me to go forward and achieve more and get billboards since she can see them, and just keep pushing and keep striving. i always want to be the best.

i always want to do make sure that what i do is the best of my capabilities. sometimes it does get a bit overwhelming and you actually forget about your troubles and your personal life, and then itjust hits you at once. knowing you are a perfectionist, what are some things you want to get better at? 0rganisation. 0rganise myself and my time a little bit more. i am notjust working for a company where i go in 9—5, i choose my hours, so i have to be really controlled and push myself. my next stop is birmingham, where i've come to me fashion designer meme gold. meme doesn't make any profit from her business. everything she has goes back into buying more materials. she pays the rent through other part—timejobs. meme‘s brand has got a growing following instagram. it's where she sells most of her streetwear clothes. she started out on her own a few

years ago, but earlier this year, business partnerjoss came on board. so, how did it start then? it was completely by accident, i got fired, so i started sewing things because i'd dropped out of uni and i was studying fashion design. i started making things and my friends were saying this really cool, you should sell pieces. and i did and people wanted them and then a website and it kind of took me, it was not my idea to go along with the fashion business. it carried me along with that. what's the plan then? to be on all of that stuff is now i live the thing about that, i have gotjobs. all right, let's go. so the master plan is to continue with what we're doing at the moment. getting as many clothes to as many people as we can, to get more people to recognise the brand and to get more people to buy because when you buy from us, it means that we can then

reinvest and reinvest. and i can eat. and she can eat. yay. i don't ever want the brand to be this amazing, shiny, perfect thing. can i always want me to be able to turn around and go next week, i want to put this out as the collection. i always want to keep it not grassroots, but real. how do you keep it real whilst also making money? next i'm heading north to huddersfield to meet adam. any at 21, he's my youngest entrepreneur. he's facing some very different challenges. hey, adam, you all right? inspired by his dad, adam started a digital signage company earlier this year. so i grew up helping my father who did traditional signage, so vinyl, acrylic, all that kind of stuff. he has always said don't do business, even though he had his own business, and he sort of motivated me to actually prove everybody wrong, and prove myself wrong sometimes as well.

what is the significance of the shop? one day i was walking into this store to pick up a pizza and he was refitting his store. and i thought to myself, it's a perfect opportunity, and hejust so happened to become my first digital signage order. adam has the added pressure on providing for a young family. he has to support his partner and a rather sleepy son. being a young father has made me really be determined. so every morning, i look at him and think you will do good for your son and you'll run your business and maybe pass it down to him or whatever. so it's making life better for us all. earlier this year, adam was named in national entrepreneur of the year after pitching his business to dragon's den. i cried, i literally cried. i didn't realise it meant so much to me as well.

so it was really sweet. i thought wow, your husband is a finalist. it was nice to see him finally get some recognition. i don't think many people believed that he would actually turn into something. because he can be. we've had many people doubt us. most of his £5,000 prize money went to his van. so the pressure really is on the secure some sales. from the city streets of huddersfield to the country lanes of stratford—upon—avon, i'm meeting zoe and jess, the founders of the street truck trailer trash. zoe is full—time, butjess also has anotherjob. we thought it would be a really good idea to get into festivals with this trailer. because you get free tickets? yes. they bought the caravan from an elderly woman for £750 and converted it themselves to save money. it was quite a big job. we quite recklessly did it as well.

there are some things we pulled out. at one point, we ripped out this huge system and then we were like let's get a new one. google what it is like. £2000. right, 0k, better go through the skip. we laughed more than we cried. we had terrible gigs that have been complete washouts, and then stood in the rain for seven hours and served three portions. i want to have a look inside. show me. i wanted to know what aspects of the business the girls need to improve on. obviously, we need a lot of work on social media. that becomes quite a full—time job to really nail that down. so they will be good to get a bit more organisation in handling that. so it seems to me the girls are lacking a bit of direction. or have some help with social media would help make their brand clearer. all these guys are doing great but it seems they can all do with a bit of help. so i have arranged for them to meet

some of the top people in their industries. rankin is one of britain's best photographers. he's shot pretty much every famous person imaginable, including the queen, arnie and robert downeer. rankin‘s also a huge inspiration to keaton. hey, you all right? cheers, keaton. so tell me all about it. how old are you? yeah, 23 man. cool, let me see your work. keaton has been examining with 3—d images which is key for the future. this is pretty good, what are you trying to do that and moving your camera? that's really good. that's good as well. thank you, man. i like that. this is great, such a great portfolio for you. people say do not do freebies, but i disagree with that. i also disagree. i think you should do as many freebies as you can because i always think a day where you are not

shooting you could be shooting. try and see you as a comfort zone, try and do music. not necessarily your kind of like favourite, favourite stuff, that you know might have a bit more in it. you know that if you do a top ten, you know, pop act, they're going to you have a little bit more money than a grime artist. so that means if you can get a couple of those a month... you can the stuff that you want. you can do the stuff that you want. good luck. thank you so much. you are going to do well. thank you. i'm very impressed. thank you so much. it's crazy. to think that a man with a camera did this. a man with a camera building his own little empire. i need to push forward with certain things like moving images and just kind of it's a green tick of approval that i should just actually do it and keep going. fashion designers 0mi are one of britain's leading

sustainable fashion brands. he has dressed lady gaga, beyonce and even michelle 0bama. meme and joss are heading to meet 0mi at the ready for london fashion week. hi. cheers. how are you? nice to meet you. hi. joss. we are partners. nice to meet you. how are you doing? cool, so let's see some of your stuff. this is from the summer stuff that we did. it's just spandex that came in rainbow colours. in very simple shapes, like tiny little pods and then really popular this summer actually was the cycle shorts. where are you pitching yourself at? closer to a high street price point. now that i wanted to be a businesswoman, it is a business i can live off and she lives off, and we have got to profit off it. so the high street is a very saturated market.

yeah. it's beyond saturated. you may not fall in the high street price point, the reason why the high street price point works is because it's on a massive, massive scale. mass production, yeah. so you're setting yourself in that price bracket when you don't have the capability of doing it. 0ne exercise maybe you should do is when you go back is draw a cross. just a big piece of paper, put it up and put the luxury market, so you put luxury and then you put high street. then you put designer and then you put high street. and what you do is you start tracking every brand that you think is competition and where they sit. once you plot all those brands, i want you to find the spot that is empty that you can safely comfortably adapt to and that's your usp. when you need to sit down and have it there. do you have a business plan? so maybe next week, you need to plot

and do a business plan. definitely the planning thing, i am really bad at planning. i know it is crucial. but i am just like she is going do it. no, we definitely need to do that. we need a plan. yeah. zoe and jess meet one of their big heroes, chef and award—winning writer gizzy aspen. she runs her own restaurant and has written loads of cookbooks. hello. hi, so excited. nice to meet you. hi. so, the food, first and foremost any new business that should be your key intro. so what is... we think the food, drink and the good times. so we are really aware of the food being massive part of also the environment and the setting in the ambience. dishes. ok, so our street food menu, we normally do a classic big bad

burger but would really top quality ingredients. junk food with good quality products. not feel too bad about eating it. it's the way forward, as we all want. can i ask you something rude? are you making money? we are making money, yeah. we spend money also. we are always like we have worked for hard, we should get some flights to ibiza. you need to think of packages, hen dos, stag dos, weddings, i'm sure you have it already, but visualising these things is really important. booze makes about four fifths of every restaurant business is booze. so that's where they make money. the food is what they go for and the booze is why people stay. we love booze. yeah, that's it, it is so part of your brain. so i would get very acquainted with local businesses, local pubs and tap into that sort of stuff. at 21, adam may seem pretty young to be starting a business,

but his mentor is even younger. he runs one of the fastest growing online estate agents in the uk. doorstep is worth £16 million. so i reckon he can give adam a bit of advice on that business. what's your plan for the next six months, 12 months, three years and five years? where do you see yourself in each of those? because that's really important to start planning. at the moment it is just digital signage, so it'sjust doing simple screens and controlling content. how many orders have you done so far for signs for restaurants? at the moment, i have only done a couple and the orders i've gotten, i value each one may be, to a thousand pounds. some of you are making now in terms of supporting your family, is there any left to reinvest in the business? not much. in other so, digital signage has not taken off yet so the customers would deal with, but are not really

want to spend a lot of money. do you have a website set up yet? it's no, so building a website is wanted to definitely work on that. it's a digital world, people said that as your shop front. your shop front is your website. so any people who love credibility and look for your van, than to see a website. the first thing i would do is get website, get a basic website and you can do think it's horrible but just start off with something. start, you can develop from there with customer feedback and family, friends and so on. the next thing i would say is get some graphics on your van. everywhere you drive, there are hundreds of not thousands who will see that. that is eyes on your brand instantly. it was really good, it is dry, he will be a teacher. the beginning of twister. for these businesses, summer is a key time to make some money. so the have girls taken the advice they had been given and put into practise? despite a bad weather for most

of it, the trailer trash girls in the time the middle of the storm as they try prepare food for a wedding in 0xfordshire. my god! and is a bit of a runoff at a car show, too. we are coming to you from rainy... and a very rainy classic car show. it's like a total wipe—out. let me show you here. meme and joss benefited very for notting carnival. this weekend, i am actually tired. just giving up. and on hold. i guess i can have a life... i am hoping that i will see some outfits that are on carnival day if nothing else that would make my day. adam is really pushing the sales and has secured a meeting with local businessman. i would say this is a 43 inch screen and now this is how they will look. slightly wider so i've got a 41 screen and that is going to cost you £11000.

oh my god. it's an investment. i have to think about and get back to you. 0k, great. i think it's a no. it's better news for meme, loads of them is to grammy her clothes at carnival, including my one extra girl jasmine evans. but keaton‘s organisation is not improving. he missed the flight to belfast on the day i supported reckon moment in belfast city missed that flight the other day. he made in the end, though. taking on what rankin said, he is doing his next up are free and in a world he is not familiar with, fashion. he is having with the creative direction as photographing it. so i'm doing the visual direction. so look, everything playing here, even helped design some of the close. hello.

two seconds. it does not take too long before things start to get a bit heated. they keep their cool and they're all smiles at the end. next is bigger, better. the trailer trash girls, the last event of the summer. i think they are all cheesed up at the moment. yes. no. thank you. music. after we met gizzy, we were thinking over the next couple of months, so we are going to keep a diary and have stuff put in already, like weddings and stuff like that.

so we are going to look at our diary and see where we have gaps and then like she said, that is where fashion week and then with brands we want want to work with. things we want to do. that's really satisfying, selling out. it's been a few months now since i met all the entrepreneurs and i want to catch up with them one last time. in birmingham, meme andess tried to get rid of the last of their summer stock. the have also taken the advice pretty seriously. the best piece of advice that he kept saying was plan. you need to plan and we really truly have. taken that day, we took a step back and said that is right. i'm glad that we met him.

it was probably not a monumental but really important day for us. for us, yeah. we are cooking on the ideas that he kind of started into motion, i suppose. and the only way for us to grow and for it to be achievable and sustainable as a brand so we can both live without working ourselves to the bone is to take that step back and it's a big conversation. a business plan is a big conversation. she's business and i'm creative and we are like... clash. my thin at the moment is working smarter and not harder. in terms of gifting, we are going to do it in a smarter way. i think it's about also building relationships with the people. anyone can dm a celebrity or a blogger and send something, but there is not anything worthwhile or long—lasting in is part of the working smarter thing. so we will be doing it but we are thinking a lot more carefully about it in the future.

meme and joss step back from the brand, keaton is definitely pushing on. it's a big job so the shoot, he is getting two assistants on it. ijust pop by to say keaton in action and he is working on a big shoot. a lot of fun at what is has been up to since he met rankin. this is an artwork concept for this cool thing he has coming out. he's using a green screen and then he'll create the image on photoshop. so we hung out at the skate park andone of your goals was to shoot a cover or a billboard. this is not quite a cover 01’ a magazine. nearly there yet. at assuming like this get you closer to that goal is met is of the cover and bring over to being able to critically direct something like this visually and it does mean a better position when i make this. the end of this crazy and say wow,

there is in the city of back drop, we getting there. cover art one day. billboard. magazines all the stuff. going to get there, 100%. looks like keaton to be on his way to a billboard soon. what are the things gizzy picked up for the trailer trash girls to have a clear idea of what their brand is. so how has it changed? we are events. we do advance so she will be disappointed in us being like... i had it in my head but i cannot communicate it. you have a flash card. yeah, i bet we have got all of the ideas that they would need to streamline and integrate them into different things. very extendable. our plans next year, we want to incorporate because that is good partner so we will be diversified and we are going to have trailer trash food and then it... start up the contact cocktails.

and just have that all under our umbrella. i have my whole logo here and the whole thing. i am into geometric patterns and it looks really fresh and here is my business card as well. look at those. and what about his website? do you want to see a? ido, yeah. it's basic for now but we can build upon it. i was sitting in a sofa downstairs and having taken how many sales a been made from then to now? the summer was tough for me, no sales. in the last three or four weeks things have looked up. running around the street, i have been sitting down, researching, tagging people who really care about science and technology and he has worked out for me. in the past three or four weeks and i have gained another client. that is good to hear. well done, adam. all the governors have had their ups

and downs over the past few months. but what is clear to see is they're passionate about what they do. get that money. figures show that almost half of startu ps fail in the first three years. for these businesses, they need to keep pushing on and keep doing it by themselves. i am in charge here.

hello. with the weekend now upon us, the weather is looking rather mixed the next few days. there are lots of remembrance events taking place through the course of the weekend, the weather is looking a little bit mixed. we did have some heavy rain through the day on friday, this was a picture taken by one of our weather watchers in warwickshire. the main bulk of the rain will clear away towards the east but through the rest of the weekend we are left with that mix of some sunny spells but also blustery showers which at times will give the risk of some hail and thunderstorms mixed in. the reason things are so unsettled is we have a big area of low pressure which is anchored to the north—west of the uk, now rotating around that low pressure we will see plenty of showers feeding in from the south—west.

to start a saturday morning the rain is pushing across the northern isles but it will be clearing from the east coast and mainland britain and will be followed by some sunshine, but also some showers beating in. the areas most prone to showers are along the south coast and these irish sea coast areas, by the afternoon some showers will be pushing across southern and eastern scotland and much of england and wales. northern ireland and western scotland getting away with a dry weather. it is mild on saturday with those south—westerly winds, some of the showers ease for a time overnight but the next batch arrives in time for remembrance sunday morning. we will see 20 of those showers feeding in around the channel coast and the irish sea coast as well. a frost free start to the day on sunday, at remembrance sunday will bring a few more showers around, not everywhere and fewer compare to what we see on saturday. through the course of remembrance sunday sunny spells, likely to see showers across western scotland, north—west england and wales, southern england as well but most will tend to ease through the afternoon. top temperatures from 10— 1a are still on the mild silent for this time of year. —— mild side. that south—westerly flow is continues into monday, another day of sunshine and showers and again through parts of these irish sea coast that you will see it, northern ireland, western scotland, against

some heavy and potentialfor some thunderstorms and hail mixed in. best of the sunshine by monday will be towards the east with highs around 11— 1a, the outlook for tuesday into wednesday, things settle down a little bit but it will stay mild until the middle of the week. welcome to bbc news — broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. i'm reged ahmad. our top stories: wildfires burning out of control in california claim nine lives. tens of thousands of people are forced to evacuate. we're hearing disturbing reports from inside paradise itself about many deaths and injuries there. yemeni forces attack key positions in a major port city. aid agencies say the increased fighting could trigger a famine. the remembrance. the leaders of france and britain and of those killed in the great war. —— together
