a matter of days to lay tonnes of crushed shells onto the seafloor. the baby oysters love to settle on the shells and grow. but lay them too early and they get covered in mud, lay them too late and the larvae get washed away. the oyster data could bring other benefits too. this estuary is experiencing climate change. it has changing temperature regimes so we've seen warmer coastal seas here, warmer than we had before, and warmer environments more often than we have before. and it would be great to be able to use this tool to get more rich information on how species are responding to their environment here in the wild. richard the lionheart granted the first rights to fish these waters. now, the latest science is keeping one of our oldest industries alive. richard westcott, bbc news, mersea island in essex. time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz schafernaker. there was a lot of frost around this
1:31 pm
morning, we had one of the coldest nights. this picture from hampshire, very frosty scenes. it also its turn very frosty scenes. it also its turn very cloudy across many parts of the uk. we had the low temperatures in the morning. the clouds rolled in and now it's going to feel pretty raw through the course of the day. there are signs that it might turn a little bit less cold as we go into the weekend. this is the satellite image. you can see clouds coming in from the south—west here on the tip of cornwall where it's a bit milder, but the rest of the country is more or less aircoming but the rest of the country is more or less air coming out of europe, coming out of east southeast, so the cold air is very much on top of us and there's that little bit of slight less cold air leaking into south—western parts of the uk. very nippy out there. these are the temperatures around lipm. i think 6 degrees probably for some of us is going to be optimistic, it will probably be lower than that. in some
1:32 pm
areas may be two or three degrees, nothing more. interestingly tonight it's not going to be quite as cold as last night. yes, the air is coming out of east, it's a cold direction, but because we have a lot of cloud across the uk and it acts almost like a blanket, it keeps the temperatures from dipping too low, so temperatures from dipping too low, so first thing tomorrow morning there won't be as much frost around, in fact most towns and cities will be around four degrees. tomorrow, this weather front bringing showers to south—western parts of it. they could be quite heavy for cornwall, devon, maybe southern parts of wales. elsewhere across the country i think it's going to feel a little bit less cold tomorrow. it the sun might break through some of those clouds. broadly speaking there is not going to be an awful lot of change between what we've got today, and what we will have tomorrow. let's have a look at the weekend. saturday, this doesn't look very promising for the southern counties. a weather front is pretty much aligning itself along the south
1:33 pm
coast. anywhere from the tip of cornwall, all the way to the eastern end of kent, we could see some outbreaks of rain. portsmouth getting a little bit of rain, winchester for example, elsewhere across the uk it's going to be much brighter. in belfast and glasgow, i think saturday is looking very, very decent with nice sunny spells. single finger temperature is pretty much everywhere. sunday and monday hopefully as well, a lot of cloud, so hopefully as well, a lot of cloud, so pretty great and still chilly, with easterly winds. back to you. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime. theresa may commends an agreement just reached with brussels on ourfuture relationship with the eu. she says it's the right deal for britain. that's all from the bbc news at one. it's goodbye from me. on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. good afternoon.

it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news... let's start with a remarkable sporting comeback, in formula one for robert kubica. he's making a full return to the sport with williams in 2019, eight years after a rally accident that nearly killed him, and left him with a partially severed arm. our fi reporterjennie gow explains how kubica's got to this point: he was said to be one of the most promising youngsters coming into fi in the mid—to thousands, and then he went off in 2011, rallying in the winter, and unfortunately had a massive crash in the end orin rally. he had a partial amputation of his forearm, he lost a tonne of blood as well, had other life changing and very significant injuries, and he was actually in hospital for three
1:35 pm
months, so it was a very long recovery and nobody ever thought he would make it back to formula 1, but thatis would make it back to formula 1, but that is indeed what he has done, and i think it goes to show there is a lwa ys i think it goes to show there is always hope and courage and strength to be taken, any situation. he has of course tested for other teams, i recall renault giving him a test, and williams very nearly gave him a contract this time last year, so just how significant is this decision now, do you think? yes, as you say, he tested for renault, renault came back and said he just doesn't have the strength. then he went on to test for williams and most importantly at the hungarian racetrack, a very fast track, lots of left and right, it really tested the polish man to see exactly how much strength he had. he does have a severely withered arm now, but they have made lots of adaptations to the car, that together with his determination has proved the turning point. we saw it with the young brit

billy monger who lost tragically both legs in an accident but has returned to single seaters. what are they doing to break down barriers for disabled drivers? with motor racing it is quite a good normaliser, as soon as someone is a car, male, female, totally partially able—bodied, whatever that issue is they have, they are just racers in a car with a helmet on, no one can tell the subplot to the story once they are in that car. i think it is rarely positive. the fia have obviously moved quite a lot to make these things happen. before the beginning of the year you wouldn't have been able to race in a single seater car if you have the disability say will he munger has. a lot of people are working to make this happen and to make sure no matter who you you can come back if you are strong enough and have the ability do that, it is a testament to all of those people making this

in their final group game to have any chance of winning the bronze medal. i'll have more for you in the next hour. the uk and the european union have agreed a draft text on their future relationship, paving the way for the brexit deal to be finalised by both sides, at a summit in brussels this weekend. the declaration covers issues such as trade and security. speaking outside downing street, the prime minister said the document represented the ‘right deal‘ for the uk. throughout this difficult and conflicts in negotiations with the european union, i have had one goal in mind, to honour the vote of the british people and deliver a good brexit deal. last week, we achieved a decisive breakthrough when we agreed with the european commission the terms for our smooth and orderly
1:39 pm
exit from the eu. alongside that withdrawal agreement, we published an outline political declaration, setting up the framework for our future relationship. last night in brussels, i had a good detailed discussion with presidentjuncker, in which i set out what was needed in that political declaration to deliver for the united kingdom. in that political declaration to deliverfor the united kingdom. we tasked our negotiating teams to continue working overnight, and as a result, the text of that declaration has been agreed between the european union and the united kingdom. i've just updated the cabinet on progress andi just updated the cabinet on progress and i will be making a statement to the house of commons later this afternoon. this is the right deal for the uk. it delivers on the vote of the referendum, it brings back control of our borders, our money and our laws, control of our borders, our money and ourlaws, and control of our borders, our money and our laws, and it does so while protecting jobs, security and protecting jobs, security and protecting the integrity of the united kingdom. the agreement we
1:40 pm
have reached is between the uk and european commission. it is now up to the 27 leaders of the other eu member states to examine this agreement in the days leading up to the special eu council meeting on sunday. i will be speaking to my counterpart over that time, including meeting chancellor kurtz of austria here in downing street later. last night, i spoke to the spanish prime minister, pedro sanchez, and i'm confident that on sunday we will be able to agree a deal that delivers for the whole uk family, including gibraltar. on saturday, i will return to brussels for a further meeting with president juncker, where we will discuss how to bring this process to a conclusion in the interests of all oui’ conclusion in the interests of all our people. the british people want this to be settled. they want a good deal that sets us on course for a brighterfuture. deal that sets us on course for a brighter future. that deal is within oui’ brighter future. that deal is within s , brighter future. that deal is within ourgrasp, andi brighter future. that deal is within our grasp, and i am determined to deliver it. that was the prime

minister speaking outside number ten about an hour ago. much more on that throughout the afternoon. there are ten times as many children and young adults in england and wales living with type two diabetes than previously thought, figures obtained by diabetes uk suggest. allmost 7000 people under 25 have the condition, which is strongly linked to obesity. libby dowling is the senior clinical advisor at diabetes uk, and an expert in type two diabetes and children. thank you very much for being with us. thank you very much for being with us. petacchi. firstly, let's be clear in thickly what type two diabetes is. thereau two main types of diabetes, type one and type two. type one is when your body doesn't make any insulin at all there is nothing you can do to prevent it, and that's the type that most children have, if they have diabetes they tend to have type one. type ii means your body does not make wide enough insulin or the insolent it is
1:42 pm
making isn't working properly. that is the type strongly linked with obesity but there are other risk factors too. and the complications from type two diabetes can be very severe, can't they? blindness and so on. blindness, heart disease, kidney disease, amputation, all of those can be competitions of type two and the concerned with children and young people getting type two seems to be that they have a slightly more aggressive form of the disease so they are going on to develop those conditions earlier than adults. are you surprised by the big rise, the amount of losing to have type two diabetes at a young age? we did expect there were more children being looked after in primary care than we knew of, and i think it is the fact it is this nearly 7000 really does reflect how important it is that we take steps to improve childhood obesity levels, and put in place proper care for these children
1:43 pm
who are diagnosed with type two. what sort of steps would you like to see us what sort of steps would you like to see us taking to try and arrest this rise in the number of people with type two? we want to see a continuation of the commitment to reduce levels of overweight and obesity across society. so we want to see clear and easily understandable labelling on the food that we buy. we want to see our children better protected from junk food advertising. and we want to see restrictions on the supermarket price promotions on unhealthy foods. and these types of steps, steps that have been made in this direction, we need to see them carrying on now. we need to see them carrying on now. we need to see a society where a healthy choice is an easy choice. notjust healthy choice is an easy choice. not just what people healthy choice is an easy choice. notjust what people consume but exercise and so on. encouraging people to do that. that's right, our lifestyles are very inactive, we are not as active as 20 years ago and thatis not as active as 20 years ago and that is fuelling a rise in obesity and overweight. saubers
1:44 pm
collectivity, getting out there and activist just as important as what we are eating. good to talk to you. libby dowling, senior clinical advisor at diabetes uk thank you. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news... theresa may has confirmed the government and the european union have now agreed a text on britain's future relationship with europe. m15 admits the first time that it failed to track the manchester arena bomber salman abedi. the attacker blew himself up at an ariana grande concert last check, killing 22 people. the wife of matthew hedges —— jailed for spying in the united arab emirates —— accuses the government of putting british interests above her husband's fate . business news 110w. the board of nissan has
1:45 pm
sacked its chairman carlos ghosn following allegations of financial misconduct. he has been accused by nissan of under—reporting his salary and using company assets for personal use. the board also voted to remove senior executive greg kelly. regulators promise to crack down on rent—to—own retailers. new rules will be introduced to prevent companies from overcharging vulnerable customers for household goods. the financial condust authority said it had seen cases when people paid over £1,500 for essentials like an electric cooker that could be bought in a shop for less than £300. majestic is starting to stockpile wine ahead of brexit. the merchant will spend up to eight million pounds buying more stock as a buffer against any disruption. the company is warning that profits will be lower as a result of a weaker uk market. carlos gohsn, a titan of the auto industry and for nearly 20 years has been at the helm of japanese car—maker nissan in an alliance with the french firm renault,
1:46 pm
making over ten million cars a year. that is now at an end after the board of nissan an hour or so ago sacked him after he was accused of under—reporting his salary and using company assets for personal use. but some see it as part of the firm's attempt to rebalance power in its alliance with renault and mitsubishi, which mr ghosn also chairs. and professor david bailey from aston university gave his reaction. there are huge fault lines within the group. renault had a 15% stake in nissan, nissan had a 15% stake in renault and yet nissan was a bigger company, generating the profits. huge tensions were emerging. ghosn was trying to increase that control and effectively merge them and i think this has all the hall marks of basically a coup, whereby nissan have taken ghosn out. there is going to be an attempt, i think, by nissan to assert some control here. i think the finance ministers from france and from japan will be meeting at the weekend, but there are huge stakes about whether they can hold this together. majestic is ordering up an extra
1:47 pm
five to eight million pounds worth of wine to make sure it has enough to sell if there is a brexit breakdown at the ports after march 29. but that is not the reason why the shares crashed some 17% today. it's also said that sales are not doing that well anyway, and the company reported a loss for the first half of its financial year. not a big one, but still a loss. what's wrong? well, the pound is weak and that makes imported wines more expensive and harder to sell, consumers have been spending less generally, as prices for everyday items rise, and it's also investing more — some £20 million — into its naked wine online business. karl mckeever, managing director of retail consultancy visual thinking. the fact the markets don't like this at all, is it to do with the
1:48 pm
stockpiling or the general outlook? i think it is the general outlook really. what naked and majestic have been doing in the last couple of yea rs, been doing in the last couple of years, they are in a long transformation and in many ways that transformation and in many ways that transformation is paying off. reporting a loss, but a much better result on this time last year. what is it trying to transform itself into? a classic example of very good virtually integrated business. they have a simple proposition, simple stores and may have been doing a betterjob to improve the look and feel of those customers. they have been training their staff. but if there is a message here it is about there is a message here it is about the fact that good promotional deals, a good product and generally a good business is not enough these days to relieve punch through with sales. consumers need more and they need more excitement. when you look at majestic as a business, it is founded around special events, celebrations, parties exception. walking into one of their stores, it is pretty flat, and i think they
1:49 pm
could do a lot more to up the party spirit and to get the ball in the mood. just having lots of price promotions and offers and deals, you are competing against the whole of the rest of the market selling wine. so you are saying they need to be more unique in a way, if that has rather ungrammatical. what about naked wines, isn't it hitting the button there? naked is a very interesting prospect as well, for a small monthly subscription you are essentially crowdfunding new and unique producers to make new wines. that is a small part of the business. majestic is what really matters. with over 100 million customers worldwide, and the company itself boasts a retention rate of 9296. itself boasts a retention rate of 92%. the question is where are they finding new customers, where's the growth? when you look into one of their stores there is not enough excitement. on the other hand you have companies like the iceland food group who are rolling out the food warehouse and only very recently have opened their largest wine warehouse, which is really taking
1:50 pm
majestic on completely in its own territory. they are using all the same tricks and methods in store, so majestic will have to really look for something different, a game changer, to transform their fortunes next year. interesting, unique and different ways of looking at retailing. just one word on the stockpiling issue. a lot of people doing it. is this a problem for profits? surely it is just a problem of cash flow, you're just spending a lot of money now and you're profitable bits by that overtime at a time when you won't have to be spending so much, in six months‘ time say? yes, and the whole thing could be necessary. the government appeared to be inching towards a deal and i think we will find out the answer to that and the next few days. if there is one business to be another moment, it is in warehousing, and certainly there has never been a better time to have an empty shed you can fill with other people‘s stuff. empty shed you can fill with other people's stuff. not my shed, i think. thank you very much was lets take a look at some of the other business stories. motorists should be offered cheaper insurance if they take a course to make them more aware of cyclists on the roads, the government says. the department for transport also
1:51 pm
wants to give councils more powers to tackle parking in cycling lanes. it is proposing a series of 50 measures in a bid to reduce the number of cyclists and pedestrians killed. £70million. that‘s what centrica, the owner of british gas, thinks the new cap on energy bills will cost them. from january, an average dual fuel customer who pays by direct debit should pay no more than £1,137 a year. this is £68 lower than british gas‘s standard variable tariff. compensation claims for damage done by potholes to vehicles on england‘s motorways and major a—roads have reached a five—year high. there were over a thousand claims in the last year — more than double the numberjust the year before. a look at the markets, i put centrica up there. down 6%. problems about the price cap. strikes to me
1:52 pm
isa about the price cap. strikes to me is a bit of an extreme reaction, bearing in mind it is not a is a bit of an extreme reaction, bearing in mind it is nota huge amount of money for someone like centrica to lose. the ftse100 down 196. centrica to lose. the ftse100 down 1%. pound against the euro, the pound recovering, to euro was quite strongly yesterday by that is weakening a bit so the pound has come up weakening a bit so the pound has come up a weakening a bit so the pound has come up a bit and the oil price at the moment is still pretty low. 63, but we have seen below 60 in the last couple of weeks, it has come back a touch. that is business. more than an hour‘s time. all this week we‘re highlighting inspirational women from around the globe — as part of the bbc‘s ‘100 women‘ series. isabel allende is one of the most acclaimed writers in the world. she draws on her own eventful life in herfiction, telling stories of love, exile and loss. she spoke to kirsty wark, and began by recollecting events in 1973, when her uncle, the then—president of chile, salvador allende, was ousted in a coup that led to 17 years of brutal dictatorship. can you remember exactly
1:53 pm
where you were during the coup? yeah. i was in my house. the coup was happening in downtown santiago and then i left with my car and i realised that something was going on. the streets were empty and there were trucks, military trucks, and something was happening. i got to my office, and it was closed. the concierge that was at the door said, "go back home, go back home, this is a military coup". he was very happy because he was a total right—wing jerk. and he said go home. i didn‘t know what a military coup was because chile didn‘t have precedent for this. but if that was terrifying then, it became much more terrifying? the first day was terrifying, because it was so unexpected. the helicopters, the bombing of the palace, the shooting, the burning of books,
1:54 pm
the arresting people and shoving them into the trucks. all of that was terrifying the first day but then we had a curfew and nobody could get out for three days. and television, everything was censored, you did not have any news, only rumours. so in a way, in those three days we sort of got used to the idea that something extraordinary had happened but it wouldn‘t last. then in the months to come, the days, weeks and months to come, we realised what it is to live in terror. mm—hm. for half the population, because the other half was having a great time. and indeed that split initially was also in your own family. everywhere. not only my family, i think that every family in chile had at least one person that had suffered the repression and families were split. couples were split. how did you get out? i got out with no problem.
1:55 pm
i had a passport. i just went to the airport and left, alone at first. i went to venezuela, because venezuela was one of the very few democratic countries left in latin america where you could go and they would give a visa to a chilean, because in mexico we weren‘t allowed anymore. so ijust left, thinking i will come back in a month. then my husband said, he found out that i can‘t go back. so you came upon the idea of being a writer. you already were a journalist but you came upon the idea of being a writer. holding onto memories, you said it helped to break the chain of heat in your soul. what did you mean by that? because, and i think this happened to many people, when you are forced out of a place and you have to leave everything behind and you feel that everything that was dear and familiar to you is lost, you have grudges, and you feel that something is owed to you or something, that you have been
1:56 pm
stolen or something. i got over that feeling completely. you write in spanish. yeah. i write in spanish. well, fiction. i can write a speech in english or something that is nonfiction but fiction happens here, it does not happen in the brain. i would not be able to process fiction with dictionaries, no. what does that feel like? you still think in spanish? yes. and i dream in spanish. i play in spanish, i make love in spanish. i would feel ridiculous panting in english, actually! laughter we are going to go and find out what the weather is doing to us. it is pretty chilly, tomasz schafernaker has the latest. it is, not in the studio, but some of us are struggling with the temperatures barely above freezing. 0.5 degrees
1:57 pm
in some of the towns further south in the uk. in the next few days, there is an indication that there is perhaps a little less coldness, but we‘re not talking about it particularly warming up, it will still stay pretty chilly. you will notion the mission of the cloud coming out of the continent. but here clouds are coming out of the south west or south, so we have a little bit of warmth, i say loosely, reaching south—western part of the country but for most of us is that colder air blowing out of the east. effing samaras will be even colder than that, and then in balmy plymouth, around 8 degrees. tonight, quite a lot of cloud across the uk, and we have a lot of cloud, it hovers around what you get in the day. maybe dipping down to 45 degrees in some areas, i don‘t think
1:58 pm
as frosty as this morning. this morning was the coldest morning since february, minus seven degrees in oxfordshire. friday‘s weather forecast, we start on a chilly note, two to 5 degrees, nippy morning, really raw, a lot of cloud around, showers expected in the south—west. plymouth, maybe exit, taunton, those sorts of areas and card of catching some downpours potentially at least. the rest of the country, some sunshine around, cloudier moments, sunny moments, and then into the weekend this were the fund aligns itself with the south coast, which never spells good news for the south coast, because it means we will see often cloudy weather from the tip of cornwall through the isle of wight 01’ cornwall through the isle of wight or the weight of eastern kent coast. cloudy conditions, not raining all the time but i don‘t think it will bea the time but i don‘t think it will be a pretty picture. elsewhere not looking bad at all, the north—west
1:59 pm
of england, cumbria, south—west scotland, northern ireland some sunshine poyet, and the temperatures will be around single figures. the arrows pointing out of the usejune west, for as long as we keep that is to leave wind, those numbers here with those eights, they will not recover. that‘s it. hello, you‘re watching afternoon live — i‘m simon mccoy. today at 2: the prime minister hails a draft agreement on post—brexit relations with the eu as the "right deal" — she says it delivers on the referendum and will bring back control. the british people want this to be settled, they want a good deal that sets us on course for a brighterfuture. that deal is within our grasp. and i am determined to deliver it. after a review looking into the manchester arena terror attack, m15 admits for the first time it failed to track the bomber. daniela tejada — the wife of a british student jailed for spying in the united arab emirates — accuses the british government of not doing enough to help.
