turning wet across western areas, quite a grey and gloomy day in many respects quite a grey and gloomy day in many res pects a cross quite a grey and gloomy day in many respects across a good part of the uk. across the west we are seeing the wettest weather so far. signs of a change on the way, called for most of us but as we drag in the south—westerly winds it will turn significantly milder by tomorrow with temperatures up to around 1a or 15 in the warmest areas. the change was brought about by areas of low pressure. they are queueing up in the atlantic, waiting to whiz into our shores. we have some pretty wet weather today. that will bring the change, this band of rain working through. we will get rain from morova south—westerly direction, for southern wales in south—west england double ten miles later, quite chilly and grey otherwise, snow with rain over the high ground to the pennines, the cumbrian fells and the southern uplands. gusts of around 50 to 60 mph around the irish sea coast and western hills. as we clear one band of rain,

another moves from the west. it will be milder compared to recently, looking into weapons stay‘s forecast, an area of low pressure brings some really strong winds to the west of the country. as well as the windy weather we see heavy rain, we will all get rain on wednesday but the heaviest will be across northern ireland into scotla nd across northern ireland into scotland where we could cause a few problems. very windy indeed, gales and severe gales, gusts of around 60 or 70 and severe gales, gusts of around 60 or70 mph around and severe gales, gusts of around 60 or 70 mph around western coasts and hills. it will be blustery, we could have localised transport disruption. the winds are drinking in the milder air, double figures for most in the temperatures but the northern isles hanging onto something colder. the main driving area of low pressure on thursday as to the west of the uk, another one will spend close to us. some uncertainty about the depth of this. if it becomes deep that it could be stronger with winds gusting to 70 or even 80 mph

around some irish sea coasts. that is pretty uncertain. what looks likely is that it will be a wet and windy day with all other seeing outbreaks of rain, milder air, temperatures between ten and 13. to end the week and into the weekend, still an unsettled weather pattern, milder airfor most weekend, still an unsettled weather pattern, milder air for most of the uk but something cooler at times in scotland, temperatures in edinburgh around six or seven. strongest winds tomorrow across the west of the country. that's all from the bbc news at one — so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. time for some sport on bbc news. hello, i'm hugh ferris. after being made one of the scapegoats by some for england's embarrassing early exit at the 2015 rugby world cup, sam burgess has hit back, blaming "individual egos and selfish players". burgess switched codes

back to rugby league following the tournament, when england became the first host nation to fail to get out of the group stage. after receiving more criticism today for his part in that, he said on twitter: both manchester clubs can make it through to the last 16 of the champions league tonight. through to the last 16 city are away to lyon and united take on young boys. both manchester clubs can make it through to the last 16 it's been suggested that the united team feels more pressure playing at old trafford, where they haven't won in europe so far this season, but managerjose mourinho has no time for that.

if you feel pressure, stay at home. but when i say ‘home', i don't mean stadium home, i mean home home and watch it on tv. if you feel pressure to play matches at home where the people come to support, come on! i never felt pressure to play at home. the uk snooker championship begins today at the barbican in york, withjudd trump and defending champion ronnie 0'sullivan once again among the favourites. trump is often referred to as one of the best players never to have won the world title, but he says he's hurt by suggestions that he doesn't always try hard enough. when you look at me and ron lee, if we are losing it is because we are not trying, we don't want to be there, compared to john not trying, we don't want to be there, compared tojohn higgins or mark selby, they take their time over the shots and he always looked that they are trying their best, but me, ronnie, jack, we are all trying

our best every game, we are trying our best every game, we are trying our heart out. i know myself a much higher much work i put in for the tournament and a daughter when people said and try. —— say i didn't try. —— say i didn't try. johnny bairstow has become the latest english cricketer to try his hand at the shortest form of the game. after returning to the test side and winning man of the match in colombo, he's signed a short—term deal with kerala knights in the t10 league which is played in the uae. england women's cricket captain heather knight says it would be great for the sport if a t20 competition was included in the commonwealth games. the icc has put in a bid for it to be played at the 2022 games in birmingham. i think it is a brilliant idea. having seen the woman's netball team reach their goal when they got back gold medal, it is a logical step for the sport. i think it would be brilliant, but george girls playing

the game globally and it would be special to play in the commonwealth games. we are hearing that sol campbell has agreed to become the new manager of macclesfield town, the bottom side in league 2. you can find out more on that on the bbc sport website. the weaker build—up between wilder against fury is very much the lead piece. we will return in happening live at two o'clock. let's get more now on brexit, where the prime minister has been trying to sell her deal to parliament and the public. today, she has been at a winter fair in llanelwedd in wales, where she has been talking to members of the public and stall holders. speaking in wales, mrs may urged mps to think about the national interest and insisted her deal would allow the uk to pursue an indepdent trade policy. if you look at the political

declaration which sets out the future framework with the european union, a clearly identifies that we would have an independent trade policy and we will be able to negotiate trade deals with countries around the rest of the world. as regards the united states, we have already been talking to them about the sort of agreement we could have on the future. we have a working group that has met several times. sir michael fallon has said this morning, one of the biggest brexit prices is the ability to strike a room deals after brexit. the us president's comments need to be taken president's comments need to be ta ken seriously. president's comments need to be taken seriously. what the political declaration makes clear is it will have an independent trade policy we will be able to strike trade deals across the world. we have a working group looking at exactly this issue. we are also talking with others

around the rest of the world about the possibility of trade deals there as well. with a number of countries that i met at the summit with asian countries in brussels a few weeks ago, talking with real and use as about trade deals with the uk. we will have that ability outside the european union to make trade deals for ourselves. it will be any longer a decision taken by brussels. and we will strike trade deals that will enhance our economy and bring jobs to the uk. president trumpeted the bulletin last night, michael fallon did it this morning. how disappointing it said that you are losing the support of those who previously have been in support of your plans? the break to deal has been agreed, i will take that to the house of commons. i am hearing today from farmers and manufacturers the importance of the certainty that the deal brings, the importance of the free trade area, the ability to

continue to export with the european union in the future, our future relationship on trade with the eu. what is important when mps come to vote as they think about the national interest, that means delivering on brexit, doing it in a way that delivers for people, protecting their security, jobs and livelihoods. this deal delivers on both of those. arlene foster has said that you basically gave up, you rolled over when it came to striking a deal with the eu. rolled over when it came to striking a dealwith the eu. no, we have been resisting many of the things that the european wanted —— the european union wanted to put on this deal. when you negotiate, neither side gets 100% of what they want. you have to be clear of what vital interests are and we have protected those vital interests. that includes protecting the interests of the people of northern ireland. the prime minister speaking a little

earlier. the prime minister speaking a little earlier. mps have responded to an urgent question tabled by the conservative john whittingdale, on the relationship between russia and ukraine. it comes after russia captured three of ukraine's naval vessels and 23 crew members on sunday. speaking on behalf of the government, the foreign office minister aistair burt condemned russia's actions, saying it has shown its willingness to violate ukraine's sovereignty. my my right honourable friend refers to a serious rising intentions. the defence secretary, i have spoken with, he asked whether it is a breach of international law. the uk assessment is that under the un convention on law of the seas, states can ask for any naval ship to

leave aj that ship is not conforming to law, but the actions of the russians were not according to that law. the russian actions we re to that law. the russian actions were disproportionate. the 2003 bilateral treaty between ukraine and russia lies a free passage of military and civilian vessels of both states through the straits and in this sea of as. my right honourable friend is right to suggest this is a breach of international law. i know the prime minister has today received a request to speak to the ukrainian prime minister galindo in her busy timetable shall be given that urgent consideration. we have heard from the russian news agency that a court in crimea which has been annexed by the russians, that court has ordered the russians, that court has ordered the first of those ukrainian naval

sailors captured to be detained for two months. they were detained on sunday when russia sees those three ukrainian vessels. the first of those sailors have appeared in court and have been detained for two months. the final election of this year's midterms takes place in the us state of mississippi. race has become the dominant issue, after the republican candidate made comments about public hangings, for which she has apologised. her opponent, hopes to become the first african american candidate, to hold a statewide office for more than a century. 0ur washington correspondent chris buckler reports. the politics of modern america can feel chained to the past, in what is undeniably an ugly history. at the national memorial for peace and justice, they make a point of remembering. there are 800 steel monuments hanging here. one for every county. the parallels with lynching have

made racing issue. that this comment was twisted and that was turned into a weapon to be used against me, a political weapon. no a weapon to be used against me, a politicalweapon. no one a weapon to be used against me, a political weapon. no one twisted your comments because your comments came out of your mouth. normally republicans would regard this as a pretty safe seat, but controversy over the comments have left this a much tighter battle. it is wide donald trump is in mississippi, holding not one but two rallies on the eve of the election. the

president has defended his candidate but her words have led some to suggest that america has still to truly face up to its past. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news. theresa may is trying to rally support for her brexit deal. the bus company midlands website is fine £2.3 million for ignoring warnings about a driver who killed two people ina about a driver who killed two people in a crash. 18 migrants are rescued from two small boats in the english channel — it's believed one was carrying an 18—month—old child. i'm maryam moshiri. in the business news: donald trump says it's likely the us will raise tariffs on chinese goods above their current level. the comments come before he meets with chinese president xi jinping at the g20 summit this weekend.

says they need certainty and clarity from the government. pritchard has overseen an overhaul of the business and today announced 30 vet practices are set for possible closures. let's talk to paul hickman, consumer and retail analyst at edison investment research. thanks forjoining us. before we talk about brexit and their impact on companies, the problems with its veterinary services have been a big issue for temp three. what is happening here? there is a national shortage of vets and the company is struggling against that. they are pushing out the boat to encourage and develop vets as they get into business. they point out that people don't often change their vets, so they are trying to get vets who are just starting a business. why is it

so hard to find vets these days?m is just really they're probably not enough vets or training, certainly not enough in the uk. quite a lot of their temp two happen to come from overseas. we have been talking about companies stockpiling in case of a new deal brexit. pets at home says it is doing that. yes, they are not quite in the same boat as the supermarket to dealing with fresh produce, but all the same it is a common—sense measure that they would ta ke common—sense measure that they would take in case the ports and the roads clogged up. so you wouldn't call this a panicky measure? no, just good sense. looking at pets at home in recent times, it has enjoyed quite a significant level of growth. was that level of growth unsustainable? in terms of opening the temp one practices, they came to the temp one practices, they came to the market in 2004 dean saying it

would open 60. it is probably opened 50 odd year on year until now. that is probably unsustainable, because we have been talking about the shortage of vets, so they will move down to ten a year for the next couple of years, by some back and some will have to close. this has created what can only be described asa created what can only be described as a whole in the figures. yes, we have had total provisions of £49 million spread across two years, on a business making £85 million pre—tax profit. a business making £85 million pre-tax profit. it is about half their pre—tax profit. thank you very much indeed. some other business stories today: britain's topps tiles plans to invest £3 million on stocking up on its most popular products to shield it against supply chain disruptions from brexit. britain's biggest tile retailer, which has around 370 stores, also reported lower annual pre—tax profit and a decline in sales over the last few weeks.

an "intolerable burden" has been placed on police forces in england and wales, because of "a national crisis" in mental health care, a watchdog has warned. the inspectorate of constabulary says officers were being left to "pick up the pieces" and respond to tens of thousands of incidents, that should be handled by mental health workers. the home office said it was investing in services and praised "police leadership". zoe billingham is her majesty's inspector of constbularies and says the police aren't the right people to look after these vulnerable people. this is all about people who need a response from health practitioners, doctors and nurses. the police most often go out and find people when they are in crisis and a danger to themselves or to others, but then

themselves or to others, but then the police need to be able to make sure that those people can be put into a place of safety and properly looked after in a health care setting. it is simply not right that people who are all are being held in the back of police cars and in police cells until hospital beds are available. the police to a greatjob in very difficult circumstances, but the system needs to be fixed. lord adebowale is the chief executive of the health and social care enterprise turning point. he explains the system's weakness. when you ring 999, if there is someone in crisis with the mental health issue, if you said 0rissa a policeman present, the ambulance algorithm will reduce your urgency, so the police are then left having to deal with the situation without the ambulance response and without the ambulance response and without the direct clinical response. that has improved in some places, they do

have police with mental health professionals on patrol and that has reduced that, but that doesn't happen everywhere, so there is a risk that the police will be left holding the baby, as it were. you may not have heard of deke duncan, but he's been the voice of radio 77 for more than 40 years. the station doesn't have a licence, so can only be beamed through a speaker from his shed into his living room to an audience of one — his wife. that could all be about to change though as he's now been offered a one—hour special radio show. jayne mccubbin went to meet him. let me take you back, right back, to a shed in 1970s stevenage. here to try and put a grin around your chin, a special hello, how are you going out right now to mrs teresa duncan, 57 donald crescent in stevenage. fast forward 50 years and 170 miles to stockport... looking after your ears, me dears. a special hi, hello going out to pamela duncan. how in the world are you feeling, my darling?

i believe there's been a job offer? there has been. from africa? from africa. i think it's probably a small station where theyjust put records on and they don't have a dj at the moment. there's an opening. i know. it's very difficult, i've got africa or bbc three counties. we're going to stick to stevenage and stockport. i think so. i'd miss it! holy, moly, rock and rolly! deke duncan's leason to us all — never give up on your dreams. now it's time for a look at the weather. thank you, then. there is a change in weather the moment. it is turning grey and wet across the western side of the country. this was

pembrokeshire earlier today. our temperatures will be boosted. although it is chilly at the moment, tomorrow afternoon temperatures for some of us could reach 15 celsius. it will turn much milder. the atla ntic it will turn much milder. the atlantic is finally waking up, so after a quiet and chilly spell of weather, these weather systems will move in the atlantic bringing spells of wet and windy weather and boosting our temperatures. that process is under way right now. we have wet weather for northern ireland, wales, south—west england, moving into central and northern england. the mild they will start to pushing, so 12 degrees implement the afternoon, whereas across much of eastern england and scotland it is still pretty chilly and will continue to be through the rest of the day. as one band of rain clears through, another one will work in from the west. it could be quite murky with mist and fog patches over

our hills. 0uter night compared to recent nights from of us, very mild in the south—west with temperatures at 10 degrees overnight. rob webber see, very windy weather on the weight, particularly targeting western portions of the uk. it will be wet, with the heaviest rain in northern ireland and scotland were it could because of the issues. localised surface water flooding is a possibility here. gusts up to 70 miles an houron a possibility here. gusts up to 70 miles an hour on west coast sandhills, enough to bring down tree branches so we could see some localised disruption to transport, maybe some power supplies as well. it will be mild, with temperatures across—the—board into it will be mild, with temperatures across—the—boa rd into double figures, with the exception being the northern ireland is that will hold onto colder air. but thursday, there is some uncertainty over how deep and strong this weather front will be. in the worst scenario we could get gusts up to 80 miles an

hour. what we are sure about is it will be windy with rain at times with sunny spells between the downpours. the temperatures rising a little bit in m. 0ver downpours. the temperatures rising a little bit in m. over the next couple of days, we will keep the sun settled weather pattern with rain at times. at times you will see some cooler weather dipping its way southwards into scotland. that your latest weather. hello, you're watching afternoon live, i'm simon mccoy. today at 2. theresa may begins a tour of the country to sell her brexit agreement, but, as it's attacked by allies at home and abroad, critics say she's on the road to nowhere. i think the disappointing thing for me is that the prime minister has given up and saying this is where we are and we have to accept that, she may have given up on further negotiations and trying to find a better deal but i haven't. i believe ina better deal but i haven't. i believe in a better way forward and that we must find it. a bus company is fined more than £2 million for ignoring warnings about a driver who killed 2 people. none of us at company will ever

forget the terrible events of october three, 2015, we are deeply sorry for the heartache of everyone affected, particularly the families.
