instruction of my therapist and trying to really focus on the movement and trying to mimic the movement and trying to mimic the movement of my left foot with my right foot and trying to relearn these movement patterns, i could experience and feel some very tiny, i'm in very small, incremental improvements. nothing major and nothing that the ordinary person would probably even recognise, but having been through that situation as an olympic athlete, and as a sprinter, where, you know, wins and losses can be measured in hundreds and thousands of seconds and you are dealing with tiny, tiny incremental improvements every day, i could recognise that. sally nugent, bbc news. the former footballer, paul gascoigne, has been charged with sexually assaulting a woman on board a train from york to durham. our correspondent fiona trott is in newcastle. fiona, what are the details? what we understand is the alleged incident took place on august 20, on board a

train from york to durham. we understand that a woman in her 30s was sexually assaulted early that evening and what the british transport police have confirmed to us transport police have confirmed to us is that paul gascoigne has been arrested, he has been arrested and charged with one count of sexual assault by touching. the former newcastle and assault by touching. the former newcastle a nd tottenha m assault by touching. the former newcastle and tottenham player, who is now 51 and lives in leicester, has had a well—documented struggle with alcoholism in the past and we know that he is going to appear at magistrates‘ court next month. fiona, thanks for that, fiona trott with the latest. time for a look at the weather. here‘s ben rich. hello. if you are not sure whether warm coat and scarf are, i would suggest locating them for this week because a very different feel to the weather. some much colder weather and with that, quite a lot of cloud around at the moment. this is the satellite picture and you can see the cloud is coming in from the

east. at this time of the year, that is never a one direction for our weather to be coming from, so these easterly winds bringing cold air across the british isles. as we go through the rest of this afternoon, generally a lot of cloud, the best of the brightness out west, showers particularly in the east and temperatures eight or nine at best in many places. this evening and tonight, windy down towards the south. again, some showers feeding in and some of these are the highest ground of northern england and scotla nd ground of northern england and scotland may begin to turn a little bit wintry, but because of the strength of the wind, it isn‘t going to get desperately cold, minimum temperatures between two and five, maybe the far south—west of england getting down to freezing. tomorrow another day where we will see some sunshine, particularly in the west, but quite a few showers further eased and still that nagging easterly wind, so here is tomorrow afternoon in a bit more detail. a scattering showers but as is the nature with showers, some people will see quite a few others, not too

many at all but over the high ground of wales, over the pennines and the mountains of scotland, it will begin to turn to sleet and possibly snow. temperature wise, seven or eight or 9 degrees but we have the brisk easterly wind, so the temperature on your thermometer might say seven, eight or nine but i will show you what it will feel like when we add on the strength of the wind. if you‘re spending your day in norwich, it might not feel like it has got above freezing, one, two or three in many other places. with the cold air still in place as we go through tuesday night, more and more of the showers are likely to turn wintry over higher ground and over the tops of the pennines and mountains in scotland, don‘t be surprised if you have a covering of snow by wednesday morning. wednesday itself will bring cloud and outbreaks of rain, still with hill snow but moving towards the north—west. so the further south and east, a little brighter, a little drier but it will change

towards the end of the week because this area of low pressure will spin down to the south—west and instead of the easterly winds, we are going to start to pick up more of a southerly wind and it will slowly but surely bring a slight recovery in those temperatures. but certainly no heat wave through the week ahead, something pretty chilly on the way. thank you. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime. theresa may has been selling her brexit plans to business at the start of what she saysis business at the start of what she says is a critical week for talks with the eu. that‘s it. it‘s goodbye from me. now on bbc one, let‘sjoin our news teams where you are. have a very good afternoon. good afternoon. it‘s 1:30pm and here‘s your latest sports news. england have dropped danny care for their fourth and final test of the autumn series. the scrum half started the game againstjapan at the weekend, scoring the first try, but was replaced on the hour mark and is now out of the squad

completely for australia. alex lozowski and zach mercer also miss out while number eight nathan hughes returns from suspension. 17—year—old racing driver sophia florsch is undergoing surgery today after a horrendous crash in formula three. she lost control at the macau grand prix in china. she was taken to hopistal with broken back. she has fractured her spine and is undergoing surgery today — but she has tweeted to say the team is working slowly to avoid any risks. her team principle says she had an "angel on her shoulder" to survive the crash. british racer billy monger lost both his legs in a crash 18 months ago, he says you can‘t make motorsport totally safe. obviously, yes, there is dangers in motorsport and everyone knows that when they sign up for it. nobody expects that to happen, especially

to yourself, nobody considers it. i know sophia florsch whitwell so i am just wishing her the best in her recovery and i am glad she is ok. safety is improving in the sport, which is great, but it is never going to be risk—free. but as long as we keep improving and making strides, that is obviously a massive pa rt strides, that is obviously a massive part for everyone who wants to compete in the sport. disgraced criceters steve smith, david warner and cameron bancroft could all be back playing sooner than they thought. they were all banned earlier this year for ball—tampering during the series with south africa. cricket australia is considering a formal request from the player‘s union to end their bans early — and a decision is expected this week. gareth southgate says harry kane is the best goalscorer in world football. kane scored the winner as england beat croatia 2—1 to progress to the finals of the nations league next summer. it marked the end of a brilliant year for england, spearheaded by southgate and his captain.

i think ithink in i think in terms of harry, he is the best goal—scorer in the world, frankly. he is our main penalty taker, he is our leader and in 98% of the games, his hold—up play and everything else he brings as well as his goal—scoring is critical. not so good though for northern ireland, who were beaten 2—1 by austria with the last kick of the game in belfast. they‘ve lost all four of their nations league matches and have been relegated from their group alongside the republic of ireland who face denmark this evening. alexander zverev‘s win at the atp world tour finals has been hailed as a ‘watershed‘ moment for the sport. the 21—year—old german beat world number one novak djokovic in the final at the 02 in london, finishing with this brilliant winner. six—time grand slam winner boris becker says zverev‘s win shows that younger players are ready to break through, and take over

from the likes of djokovic, rafa nadal and roger federer. dina asher smith‘s been named on the shortlist for the iaaf female athlete of the year award. the 22—year—old‘s had a great year, becoming the first british woman to win triple gold at the european championships, along with a couple of medals at the commonwealth games too. the winner will be announced in monaco on december 4th. and the five—time world darts champion raymond van barneveld is to retire from the sport. the dutchman, who‘s known as ‘barney‘ will call it quits after the pdc world championship in 2020. he‘s one of only three players to have won five titles, but says he can no longer ‘keep up‘ with other players. i‘ll have more for you in the next hour. the foreign secreatryjeremy hunt has arrived in iran. he‘s the first western foreign

minister to visit the country since donald trump abandoned the nuclear deal and imposed sanctions on the country. on his arrival mr hunt explained what he hoped to discuss with his iranian counterpart... this is a part of the world which is frankly a tinderbox and so many things can go wrong here. iran is one of the big players and we are very keen to move towards peace in yemen. that is our number one priority at the moment. but also we have the case of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe and other dual masses and is —— dual nationals here who are imprisoned, they shouldn‘t be, we want to get them home, so there is lots to talk about and i‘m just to head to the foreign ministry and all these things will be discussed. our diplomatic correspondent james landale is in tehran and gave us more details about the foreign secretary‘s visit. this is his first visit to iran so

naturally he took in the sites. but now he has come here, to the ministry of foreign affairs, to talk to his counterpart, the iranians foreign minister, and the messages are clear. he is telling the iranians that they should release immediately nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe and other british iranians do will nationals who are detained in tehran. they will say they should be released on humanitarian grounds and should not be used as tools for diplomatic leveraged. but he is also here to assess the impact of american sanctions in tehran. these sanctions we re sanctions in tehran. these sanctions were reimposed two weeks ago. his message will be that for now britain is sticking with iran, supporting the deal is limiting iran‘s nuclear programme, but as long as iran sticks to the terms of that deal. the interesting question is how the americans will respond because the

foreign secretary has come here, to the heart of the capital of the country that the us says is the world‘s biggest sponsor of terrorism. four men have been taken to hospital with stab wounds, after a fight in edmonton in north london. the condition of the men, who are all in their 20s, is not known. police say two vehicles that had been involved in a collision were found at the scene. our reporter, simon clemison, is at the scene. this is a busy area. people have been going to school, they have been going to work, and this morning they have been crossing a police cordoned to do so. they don‘t expect this level of police investigation here. yet another sign of the problems leads —— london has been experiencing in recent months. the police have been here all the way through the night and with daylight you can start to see where the investigation is centred. we are on the outer chord in but if you look

over to my right, you can see the in accordance, and that is where police forensics have been spending the evening. they have just left the scene but very much still a police presence here. four men suffered sta b presence here. four men suffered stab wounds. the latest is that one has been discharged but the other three are still being treated. in addition, two vehicles which had beenin addition, two vehicles which had been ina addition, two vehicles which had been in a crash were found here. it is early stages but this is believed to be linked to ease shooting also in this part of london, two men and a teenage boy were injured when a shot gun was fired into a minicab. overnight, speaking to people here, they have talked aboutjust how crime is not unheard of here but this is really a different kind of level of investigation. when you think about some of the things the mayor of london has been saying about violent crime and what a challenge it is, that really does make a lot of sense to people when you speak to them here. a specialist unit is in place now to deal with

some of the problems london has been experiencing in recent months. but the latest here is now that one person has been arrested in connection with the investigation in edmonton. more now on the news that the general medical council are urgently checking the qualifications of about 3,000 foreign doctors, after it was emerged a fake psychiatrist had been practising for 22 years with no qualifications. zholia alemi falsely claimed to have a medical degree from a new zealand university when she registered in the uk in the 1995. alemi was jailed for fraud in october after she faked a dementia patient‘s will in an attempt to inherit her estate. earlier, my colleague rebecca jones spoke to the gmc‘s director of registrations, una lane, who explained how the deception had happened. this was an individual who applied to register as a doctor in the uk in 1995 and as part of the application she submitted forged documents. one

of those documents suggested she had a medical qualification from the university of auckland in new zealand. we know now that was a forgery. at the time there were special arrangements for doctors who qualified in commonwealth countries. they benefited from the route to registration in the uk called the commonwealth route. it meant they also bypassed the standard 2—part medical test that all doctors from overseas need today, so she was effectively registered on the basis of the medical qualification from new zealand. that route to registration was abolished in 2003 and no longer exists. so are you saying for people after 2003, this could not possibly have happened, but what about all these people before 2003? we know there are 3000 doctors working in the uk currently who came down this commonwealth route of registration. we have absolutely no reason to believe they are anything other than good, honest

doctors providing high quality care to patients. however, given the issues we found in this case, we have decided to review all their applications and look at their qualifications in detail to make sure that we can be satisfied that the same problems have not occurred elsewhere and that we can provide that the shawlands to patients and the public. how did this particular case come to light? she was arrested and numberof years case come to light? she was arrested and number of years ago for fraud and number of years ago for fraud and theft in relation to an elderly patient. that is when she came to our attention. she was subsequently found guilty of fraud and theft and sentenced to five years in prison in october of this year. can you guarantee nothing like this could happen again? the checks we have in place now are so very different from those that existed over 20 years ago in 1995. all doctors coming from overseas now have to have their qualifications independently verified by an independent agency. they must also said the 2—part test

of medical knowledge and skills. and finally we do id checks at our offices in london and manchester and we also check all of their documents again, there original documents, using very modern technology. as we‘ve been hearing the head of the business organisation, the cbi, is warning that an economically—damaging no—deal brexit is increasingly likely, because extreme views are being allowed to dominate the debate here in westminster. carolyn fairbairn told the body‘s annual conference that firms were spending billions preparing for such a scenario, instead of investing in jobs and productivity. our business presenter jamie robertson is at the conference in greenwich, south east london thank you very much. we had that speech this morning from theresa may. really bringing business on board and appealing to business to back her. and business, in many ways, responding positively and saying, yes, this is what we want,

with a few caveats. over the last two years, the cbi has been trying to influence the eu and the uk in the negotiations. i have got the head of eu negotiations here with me, nicole sykes. you have been lobbying, you would prefer to say influencing, the way negotiations have gone. have you succeeded? have you put the point across of what business wants? i think business ultimately has to points. one is we need to avoid that catastrophic no deal outcome. we hear so much about lorries queued up at dover, what are we going to do about medicines, foods. genuinely worrying. number one for business is can we remove that no deal cliff edge? to do that we need transitional arrangements and this deal does deliver that. the second thing businesses are asking for is that long—term relationship. can we get frictionless trade? and also having a say over those rules?

that is still to be worked on but we think this deal does open up the potential for that. if we can move onto those technical talks, we can start to build our future relationship. so you see this as a starting point rather than a finishing point? i do see this as a starting point. businesses are raring to go to get onto that future talk. we have seven pages at the moment of future economic relationship deal and the trade agreement with canada and the eu is something like 2000 pages long so we have a long way to go. we want to get into that technical talk. talk about trade with other parties in a moment. what about immigration? what does the cbi to worry about? two things. i talked to businesses who are worried about being able to recruit and retain staff. 93% of businesses in this building have struggled since the referendum to recruit and retain staff. but they

are having to put up their wages as well, which is a good thing for people who are working? but everyone from universities, construction, farm workers, tech companies. struggling to recruit right now. they are looking to the future and seeing how much more difficult it will be. they understand that the result of the referendum means we need more control over immigration but we also have to get people into our economy that we need. the current government plans say there will be a cap at £30,000. for businesses that is really difficult. people like care workers are not earning £30,000. people in construction are not necessarily earning to £30,000. but also trainees in creative industries and intech. we need to make sure that is right. did you see any sign from the prime minister that she would move on that? the prime minister's

message was that she does want to listen to business. but not necessarily on immigration? we need to make sure that is what happens. we have got a white paper in a few months on immigration and businesses will want to challenge some of the detail because right now it is not working. let's move on to trade because whatever kind of future relationship we have with the eu, it is never going to duplicate what we have at the moment. however, one would like to make it up with trade deals around the world. when will we be able to do that? it is not clear quite yet when we will be able to start doing that but on trade, businesses tell me three things. they start with the eu relationship because that was one deal that cove rs because that was one deal that covers almost 50% of trade. they are also looking at their current relationship between the eu and other nations, where we have free trade agreements. some big countries like south africa, south korea, canada, where we have to replicate those. the third thing is saying, we

do want to strike those future trade agreements but we know it is going to bea agreements but we know it is going to be a little while so what can we do domestically right now to boost our trade? if you think about germany, they have the same trade terms with the rest of the world than we do but they export five times as much to china than we do. so what lessons do we need to learn? and what can we do domestically. the first thing to trade is to build a product that people want to sell. that means getting your innovation right. you need people who can build that, which means getting your skills right. you need to make sure those people can get to work, which means getting your infrastructure right. thank you very much. the view from the cbi. it seems this is an idea that the withdrawal agreement from cbi‘s perspective is very much a starting point. a point at which they feel they can build on some kind of future agreement with the european union. but there are a lot

of things to be put right and to be altered. we all know how divisive the subject of brexit is, well with that in mind — all this week the victoria derbyshire programme is taking two people with opposing views and sending them on a date — in their political blind dates series . first up it‘s love island‘s zara mcdermott, who, we can reveal, has quit herjob as a a civil servant to speak out about her political views. she met the lord mayor of sheffield, magid magid. was it love at first sight, or did it end in tears? let‘s see how they got on.

i genuinely think we should have another referendum. you can'tjust wrote again until you get what you want. why don't we go with the original, unbiased view. you would say the last referendum was unbiased? do you reckon there was any lies? to the people?” unbiased? do you reckon there was any lies? to the people? i don't know. £350 million? i'm sure there was on both sides. parties live. that is fact. don't you think it is unfair about posterity and the impact it is having on people.|j don‘t think the cuts are being done ina way don‘t think the cuts are being done in a way that is malicious, it is

just because it is necessary. but when people are actually dying as a result of benefit cuts, so many issues, i think it is completely repulsive. cuts to things that are being taken advantage of, the benefits system and the nhs... being taken advantage of, the benefits system and the nhs. .. taken advantage of? there are definitely people on benefits that don‘t need to be on benefits. perhaps we can produce a coupon system and the government can compartmentalise where the spending is going. government can compartmentalise where the spending is goingm government can compartmentalise where the spending is going. is this a humane way to do it? here are some tokens. it takes that freedom away from people. would you ever stand to bea from people. would you ever stand to be a politician? i don't know. do you think i would be all right? have i sold you anything? do you think i am good at? you are pleasant to have

lunch with. is that it? i would encourage you to stand as a candidate. not a tory candidate. encourage you to stand as a candidate. not a tory candidatelj candidate. not a tory candidate.” don‘t understand why you are single. i think you are fantastic.” don‘t understand why you are single. i think you are fantastic. i swear to you, i have genuinely enjoyed it. she has been an absolute joy. if you are ever in sheffield, swing by. and in five years' time she is going to bea in five years' time she is going to be a green mp. the un deputy secretary general, amina mohammed, is one of the most powerful women in global affairs but she says she‘s an african first, and will be heading back when her time at the united nations is up. in the first installment of our special 100 women series, zeinab badawi talks to amina mohammed about how gender, identity and past experiences affect the way she does herjob. here i am at the united nations headquarters in new york. when are we going to see a woman‘s picture on

there? soon, i think. we we going to see a woman‘s picture on there? soon, ithink. we narrowly missed it last time and i think we will see it soon. i think everyone feels that the time is almost there and such great efforts were made last time and incredible women who came to the stage for the first time we re came to the stage for the first time were interrogating perspective secretary generals. it is the one that promotes gender, equality and it promotes women‘s empowerment, and you have described that one as the docking station of all the other ones. what did you mean? it wasn't just about as looking at the targets and the goal for gender equality but that if you look at it as a docking station for the other 16, every single one of those goals feeds offered and the gold feeds into it. so ifi offered and the gold feeds into it. so if i look at education, for instance, gender equality has got to be at the centre of education, as it has to be eradicating poverty, as it

has to be eradicating poverty, as it has to be in cities or energy. access to energy and the way that women need to be a central part of that for empowerment. so there is a thread from that goal to others and from those to the goal. that is really what i mean, that you can‘t ta ke really what i mean, that you can‘t take it alone. it is an integral part. do you see yourself as principally being there to make life better for females? i think for everyone, but i do believe that women suffer more disproportionately than men. and it is again about the issue of where the woman sits in society. and is allowed in terms of their rights. and they are not. at their rights. and they are not. at the very beginning when you go to school, it is the boy who gets the chance of an education and able to reach their aspirations, contribute to society. a girl doesn‘t. you have to society. a girl doesn‘t. you have

to try that much harder for the girl to try that much harder for the girl to get in. and i think what i want to get in. and i think what i want to do is not apologise for being a girland not to to do is not apologise for being a girl and not to see it as something thatis girl and not to see it as something that is added on. what is the word for it? that we are seen as we should be grateful for being at the table. after all, you have got 30% of you around the cabinet table. no, if we can provide the capacity to be 70% around the table, so be it. what we really need to see is equal rights to all those things that allow us to be present and to be effective and to be part of society and our economies. we are not seeing that. now it‘s time for a look at the weather. a bit ofa a bit of a shock to the system over the next few days. temperatures this afternoon struggling to get out of

single digits. add on the strength of the wind and a few showers in eastern areas, not a great feel if you are heading out and about. this evening, some of these showers could start to turn to sleet or snow over the highest hills. temperatures are generally holding between two and 5 degrees. we might get a touch of frost across the file south—west of england. tomorrow is a day of some bright spells but quite a lot of cloud. showers could be wintry over the highest ground. ray moseley at low levels but with easterly wind, the temperature —— rain mostly at low levels. it will feel like freezing in norwich. other places not faring much better. and we keep that surely feel as we head into wednesday and thursday. hello.

you‘re watching afternoon live. i‘m simon mccoy. today at 2: the prime minister vows to take back control of britain‘s borders as she pitches her brexit withdrawal plan to the business community, saying tough negotiations lie ahead. it was never going to be easy or straightforward. and the final stage was always going to be the toughest. but we have in view a deal that will work for the uk. it comes amid continuing speculation over whether the number of tory mps submitting letters of no—confidence in mrs may will reach the 48 required. the eu‘s chief negotiator agrees with the prime minister that brexit talks are at a decisive moment. now, more than ever, we must all remain calm and i will remain calm and keep our focus on the need for the uk to leave the eu in an orderly fashion.
