i stand here today as an ambassador for mental health and i am the people's champion. i am the man who gives the people hope. fury‘s pre—fight antics are often designed to get under the skin of his opponents, but the authorities will hope they do not see a repeat of this at tomorrow's weigh in. time for a look at the weather. here's helen willetts. i'm not sure you will like what i've got to say but i will try and find some brightness in there. it's been a turbulent start to the day again with lively gusts of wind, heavy rain and this was taken not too far away from neath and port talbot. these conditions are evident across england and wales, particularly with gale force winds and that, combined with heavy rain has made for some miserable driving conditions. these are the gusts of wind we see and some areas, even in land have seen gusts of wind in excess of 50 mph. the good news is it's all on its way

out. this is the rain currently sitting across scotland, a very miserable afternoon with lots of heavy showers behind but there will be some brightness in between those showers and the wind will ease a little, except in scotland, and the positive is it is relatively mild. however, as we go over night, the showers get going and there will be hailand showers get going and there will be hail and thunder and some will be wintry over the hills that it won't be as mild tonight as recently. no real frost worries at four or 5 degrees but we will see the wind continue and if anything it will escalate across northern ireland and scotland. nothing exceptional, it is autumn but stronger than the wind has been today. low pressure is sat to the north of mainland scotland and as we go into tomorrow we have low pressure in charge meaning it will be a windy day across scotland and lots of showers around as well. they could be wintry over the highlands and grampians and there will be hail and thunder around the coast and over england and wales but we are hopeful that as the afternoon

goes on we will see the shower activity dampening down across england and wales, only because there is another area of low pressure building up at the atlantic. it looks like a slightly quieter ends of the week on friday and the wind will not be as lively and the wind will not be as lively and it will not be as wet, except in north—west scotland, but it won't be as mild. turning to the all—important weekend, as mild. turning to the all—importa nt weekend, the as mild. turning to the all—important weekend, the next area of low pressure rattles in so more potentially wet and windy weather. we think especially for england and wales but it's how far north it will go. if we escape it in scotland, it will be dry, and returning to milder conditions in the south, then more again on sunday. sunday looks as though we will see more rain for northern ireland and scotland but there is some uncertainty on the detail, but either way it looks like there will be low pressure in charge so you need to expect some rain, and over the mountains there might be snow and strong winds, but there will be sunshine interspersed and it won't be that cold. just a reminder

the next few hours, some really turbulent conditions. calls for a national campaign to raise awareness of psychological abuse — after a man murdered his wife and teenage daughter following years of intense controlling behaviour against them. good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. arsenal are in ukraine to play vorskla poltava in the europa league tonight, a match which has been moved more than 200 miles from poltava to the capital kiev due to the polictical uncertainty there. our correspondent jonah fisher is in kiev. this time yesterday there was

confusion because the game was moved from around 300 kilometres away from kiev to hear, but it was initially unsure whether the olympic stadium here in kiev was actually ready to host the game so last night there was a bit of uncertainty. this morning it has been cleared up and the game will definitely go ahead. apm tonight. it will be —10 degrees here in kiev so it will be one of those games when the players put the tights on the gloves on, wrap up warm. it won't be much fun. now, indeed. something forthe arsenalfans to now, indeed. something forthe arsenal fans to contend with. travel disruption. i've been reading stories that some have had to make the trip to kiev after arriving at the trip to kiev after arriving at the original venue. up the original venue. up to 500 arsenal fans who have made the trip. it is the sort of fixture where you are in your spurs at a dash as a sporting fun if you make

the trip to watch vorskla poltava. it isa the trip to watch vorskla poltava. it is a disruption in some ways but most of them will have been coming through kiev anyway on the weight of the game, and they will find better bars and hotels here. a bit of a disruption for them but i think they will remember when they came here for vors kla will remember when they came here for vorskla poltava a way in kiev. disappointedly for some of them, some of arsenal's biggest stars haven't made the trip. those who haven't made the trip. those who have come to ukraine to watch arsenal versus vorskla poltava, they will mostly be watching the next generation of arsenal players rather than the big stars who turn out every week in the premier league. a positive result in theirfinalgroup game will determine if tottenham and liverpool qualify for the last 16 of the champions league. tottenham had to beat inter milan last night to keep their hopes alive, christian eriksen coming off the bench to score in a 1—0 win. qualification may hinge

on beating barcelona next. liverpool meanwhile have to beat napoli in a couple of weeks or they're out. that's after they were outplayed by paris saint germain and their expensively assembled team of stars, losing 2—1 in paris. manchester united have triggered the one year extension to goalkeeper david de gea's contract. the player's deal ran out at the end of the season, permitting him to speak to overseas clubs from the first of january. united want to keep hold of their keeper and hope it will avoid any uncertainty over the player's future heading into the january transfer window. there was a real talking point in the championship last night. derby's bradleyjohnson appeared to bite stoke'sjoe allen, despite getting hold of the shirt in his mouth — allen denied he was bitten. the incident followed a red card for stoke who still won the game 2—1. and we're going to finish with some cheating in china. almost 250 runners were caught taking a shortcut during the shenzen half marathon. they were actually spotted by traffic cameras, and cut

around 2 or 3 kilometres off the full 21k distance. all of those who cheated now face bans. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. leaving the european union without a deal would be bad for britain's security — that's according to the government. currently, the uk has access to european security and law enforcement databases. but security minister ben wallace says if parliament doesn't agree to theresa may's brexit plan, the uk could lose access. and he says britain's security could be stronger than it is now under the new arrangement. 0ur security correspondent frank gardner was at this morning's presentation by ben wallace. i'm here at the international security expo where the security

minister ben wallace has just set out his reasons on security grounds for backing the brexit deal. it is an absolutely unequivocal backing in his mind, saying, effectively, with it we will remain safer than if it is rejected. i asked him when it came to questions, what is your plan b. you know, what are these mitigation measures that you must‘ve started discussing with your eu partners if there is no deal? he said, we are discussing things but we are not going to give you the details. they are secret or classified, in other words. details. they are secret or classified, in otherwords. he details. they are secret or classified, in other words. he did give us some detail about the various tools, as he calls it, that the eu has that are currently shared with britain. such as dna, fingerprints, vehicle passenger lists, things like that. under the withdrawal agreement, he says for the next... a21 months that

agreement —— for 21 months of that agreement, the police and the public will not see any great change in that agreement. beyond that, that still has to be negotiated. the conservative mp jo johnson has appealed to all politicians to reject theresa may's brexit deal, which he described as bad for the country. his rallying call came during his first major speech since resigning from the cabinet over brexit at an event organised by the people's vote campaign group. every single region of the united kingdom is going to be less prosperous with lower gdp per capita and lower productivity than it would if we stayed with our existing arrangements. that is quite an extraordinary state of affairs. and of course in some ways this isn't actually that surprising because as the bank of england set out

yesterday, brexit is a unique phenomenon. there is no precedent anywhere in the world for an advanced economy like ours withdrawing so abruptly from a trade agreement that is as deep and as complex as the european union. a teenager's to be charged with assault, after footage showing a fifteen year old syrian refugee being attacked, was shared on social media — and now a video appearing to show the boy's sister being attacked at the same school has emerged. the footage shows the girl being pushed towards a grass verge. her family told the bbc her friends beat her up then took her pink hijab. the first video, showing the boy being dragged to the ground before water is poured onto his face, was filmed last month according to west yorkshire police. the boy's father, who cannot be named for legal reasons, says the attack had left his son "very tired psychologically". translation: i have my daughter in school, we are muslims,

after a year she decided to wear a hijab like her mother. we are surprised that in school her friends beat her up, and took her hijab. when i saw what happened to my children, i don't know what to say. barry sheerman, labour mp for huddersfield where the syrian family live, described his reaction to seeing the video for the first time. i've been dealing with this horrible bullying for months, and then i saw the video on tuesday, and like everybody else, i'm absolutely shocked and appalled, but i have been very fully engaged because this young man is only 15, his parents are not very confident in the english language. he e—mailed me and told me about the bullying. we immediately got in touch with the headteacher, we got

in touch with the council, the children's services, and the police. both incidents happened at almondbury community school in huddersfield. in a letter sent to parents, headteacher trevor bowen said: "the safety and welfare of students is our number one priority and i can assure you that this situation is being taken extremely seriously." a letting agency in east london is asking for non—refundable deposits of £300 from prospective tenants, before they have even viewed a property, the victoria derbyshire programme has learned. flintons deny any wrongdoing and insist that they do not charge for viewings but that holding deposits are always non—refundable. esme ash tried to rent a flat from them and soon became suspicious. she's been undercover to get the full story. searching for a room to rent in

london can be tough. 0ne searching for a room to rent in london can be tough. one particular agency has been asking for hundreds of pounds before any prospective te na nts a re of pounds before any prospective tenants are allowed to view any properties to rent. israel responded to one of the adverts. he says they went to see an agent who told them they needed to pay a deposit to see a room, but that it would be refundable. they explained that you pay a holding free and you can change a room. i asked, holding free and you can change a room. iasked, can holding free and you can change a room. i asked, can you get the money back? they said, we can do that, that's fine. after paying £300 each to see the property, israel says it wasn't long before he realised something was wrong and his suspicions worsened after looking at online reviews. in the end they chose not to see the flat and decided instead to seek an immediate refund. they returned to clinton's two confront the agent.

we didn't say hello, we said, why can't we get our money back? she literally got to the point... we told her, you told us this and that... £300 is half of my rent. i get wound up when i think about them because i know that £300 isjust with them. what can i do? i don't have the money to see them, i don't have the money to see them, i don't have the money to see them, i don't have the legal expertise to deal with it. fli nto ns told with it. flintons told us they issued receipts specifying that the deposit was non—refundable. the clients say they only got the receipt after they had paid. they also reassured them verbally that they could get their money back and they felt under pressure to pay the money immediately. it is recording. after hearing the stories, and decided to go back to fli nto ns stories, and decided to go back to flintons with hidden cameras. i left collea g u es flintons with hidden cameras. i left colleagues stationed outside. unlike some cases we've been told

about, the agent did explain that this payment was non—refundable but was clear that if i wanted to see any of the available properties, i would have to pay this money upfront. if i want to see this tomorrow, i would upfront. if i want to see this tomorrow, iwould have upfront. if i want to see this tomorrow, i would have to pay you? 0k. tomorrow, i would have to pay you? ok. so, is it legalto tomorrow, i would have to pay you? ok. so, is it legal to demand upfront deposits before you can view a room to rent? we showed david smith, a property lawyer, our findings. asking somebody for money without being able to see what that contract is about to do a viewing would be quite likely to be seen by professional people in the property sector is unreasonable and unfair behaviour and therefore is very likely to be an offence under consumer protections. fli nto ns

consumer protections. flintons deny any wrongdoing, saying they do not take fees for viewings and any payment is taken when people say they wish to take the property. they say holding deposits are always non—refundable and they do not see any purpose in taking deposits if you could get it went back their money back. they also said that eve ryo ne money back. they also said that everyone in the report were made aware that deposits were not refundable and they do not agree with the alleged version of events. that was from the victoria derbyshire programme. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news. the family of a woman and daughter shot and killed by their abusive father call for a national campaign to focus on the impact of controlling behaviour in cases of domestic violence. the prime minister has agreed to debate brexit on a television debate on sunday 9th december, the labour leaderjeremy corbyn has yet to confirm he will take part. branded unsafe — the hospital trust being investigated over alleged failings in maternity care, is rated inadequate by inspectors.

in the business news: thomas cook swings to a loss as the heatwave hits sales. farmers and rural businesses are meeting to discuss the countryside post brexit with calls for the government to commit to a new enterprising countryside charter. three online casino firms have been fined £1a million by the gambling commission uncovered failings in systems designed to prevent money—laundering and protect problem gamblers. a quick look at some other stories. brexit has scared off the would—be buyers of intu shopping centres — talking about the trafford centre in manchester and newcastle's metrocentre. potential suitors — a consortium — that included the canadian property investor brookfield — cited economic uncertainty

in the decision to abandon bid talks worth just under £3 billion. the offices of deutsche bank in frankfurt were raided today by criminal investigators involved in a major probe into alleged money laundering. at the core of the investigation is a deutsche unit based in the british virgin islands. in 2016 alone, it dealt with more than 900 clients and processed e311m, according to the prosecutors. kellogg's is to put "traffic light" labelling on most of its cereal packs sold in the uk from january, having previously refused to do so. the system indicates how much salt, sugar or fat foods contain. more than 500 farmers, rural businesses and rural land managers from across england and wales will gather in westminster today to examine how the countryside plans to adapt as it enters a period of rapid and significant change post brexit. the conference has been organised by the country land and business association. we'll talk to the cla

about the issues and ask what rural businesses are thinking about, or not as the case may be. research to coincide with the conference shows that 79% of rural businesses have no plans in place as yet to adapt their business model to accommodate brexit. why not? susan twining, head of land use, country land and business association. why are so many farmers ill—prepared for brexit right now? what is stopping them from preparing? the biggest reason is the uncertainty, affecting all businesses. farming, deal or no deal, are likely to face the biggest changes they have seen in the industry for over a0 years so we are moving into a position where there will be no direct payments, the payments that they've been getting for the last several years through the common agricultural policy in europe is being removed and there is much more focus on how they manage

their land and different ways of farming. what do you think is the main issue that farmers need to be looking at right now? i think despite the uncertainty, there are things that people could be doing to help plan for the future andi be doing to help plan for the future and i think some of that will be looking at their costs of production, the chianti land—use they currently have in perforation of the changes that are likely to come around. what we are asking for is the government could also help this process and particularly around not just this process and particularly around notjust in the farming situation but also in the real economy. many businesses are looking at new technology but broadband and mobile activity in the countryside are very patchy so we are looking at roaming to allow connection to any network in that area. we are looking at a plan to allow sustainable divestment, investment and more housing in the countryside which is really important for communities.

and finally we are looking for more local investment into the community for not just local investment into the community for notjust farming but all businesses in that area. what about employment? we've heard about a lot of eu workers planning not to come to the uk. farming depends on seasonal work so how much ofan depends on seasonal work so how much of an issue is that? it is an enormous issue and one of the reasons businesses are starting to invest, particularly in horticulture. it is notjust in the areas where we are aware of, things like fruit picking, but it also affects the dairy industry and food production sector as well. where there is processing going on, many of those who rely on migrant workers to do the processing and without that there will be any demand for uk produced food. it is absolutely essential that gets addressed. how worried are you these issues won't be addressed in time, with the timeframe we are working with?

i think it is a concern for all farming and businesses in the countryside that this will not be adequately addressed, particularly around immigration where we are currently heavily reliant. although technological solutions will eventually come along, there isn't enough time in the next few years to develop the robotics and the ideas that are currently in development. it is something that requires temporary solution is to be put in place to avoid any dip in growth. thank you very much. the federal reserve had indicated it may not see as many interest rate rises as addicted. we had a word withjerome rises as addicted. we had a word with jerome powell who rises as addicted. we had a word withjerome powell who said interest rates are just below a neutral level

that neither hastens nor slows growth. as a result, people are a lot clearer about how they can invest, thinking there is less risk in terms of the federal reserve and where it is moving. as a result, we have seen the london market in positive territory, and the rest of the uk. oil prices below $60 per barrel. still really low, a lot lower than many oil producers would like them to be, but they have improved ever so slightly. back to the studio. that's all the business news. after hanging up his winter cloak for the final time game of thrones star kit harrington has made the journey all the way from westeros, to london's west end. the final series will be screened in the new year, but before that the actor's treading the boards in a production of the sam shepherd play true west. he's been telling tim muffett about the glamour of the london stage. it's good to see you. we're on stage at the vaudeville theatre. some serious ‘70s action going on. not least my moustache. the play‘s set in 1979.

no one's going to go and see a film like that. it's a movie. there's a big difference. they are two brothers in their mother's house outside of la, they're polar opposites as people. i've just about had it with the insults. this story has a lot of violence. what's it been like to rehearse and perform ? it's fun. i love a fight scene. you've done a few in your time. i have done a few, yeah. you have this thing where you get thrown across the stage, and he has a golf club which he stops at my face, which gets a nice reaction from the audience. you must have done something, threatened him or something. what did you do? how does it compare performing on stage in front of a live audience compared with making a massive tv show like game of thrones? people think that's the glamorous part. i find this the glamorous part.

myjob is to come in and play to the west end audience every night. that for me is quite glamorous. whereas thrones was quite often outside, in some foreign country, away from your mates, in a muddy field. you've obviously filmed the last series of game of thrones, going out in the new year. what was it like when they said "cut" for the last time in yourfinal scene? i burst into tears, you know. it's a weird thing. i'm not sad about it ending. i feeljoyous about it ending, and having completed it. but it doesn't make it any less emotional. and the first pilot of game of thrones was described by the producers as a disaster. what did you make of it when you first made it? i didn't know what i was doing. i was like, this is fun. i'm in a tv show. i had no idea if it was going to be a big success or anything. apparently it was a disaster. i still haven't seen it.

they blackmail me every now and again with threatening that they'll release parts on youtube, because it was terrible and i had this awful wig. and the fact that it was such a global phenomenon, are there countries where you go to where you don't get recognised? not that i have found. although this is helping. you know, iam now... i am recognised a lot less now i have less hair and less fur on my face. now it's time for a look at the weather. it isa it is a day for staying in and watching films or the television because it has been quite miserable out there. this was taken recently in port talbot. met office weather warnings in place for the next few hours because of the extremity of

the wind with the rain, hazardous conditions with a lot of spray and standing water along with hill fog. the rain is moving away and the winds are easing but these are the sorts of gusts of wind is that we have had. most of them are in exposed locations but getting up to 55 mph. the rain city across scotland. quite miserable here. it is starting to march away. for the west, further showers packing in but sunny spells and between 12. as we go through the evening we will find rain pulling away and then combining for a longer spell in the north west of scotland. the winds becoming stronger across the north of scotla nd stronger across the north of scotland as we go east. that will hold up the temperatures but they will be lower than they have been in recent nights. four or five celsius. the low pressure is still with us tomorrow but no real weather fronts

across the country, just a scattering of showers. not as wet or windy for many of us. not exceptional for this time of year. just something to be aware of that rain and combined with the rush hour, making for miserable conditions as well. for the rest of the day, some shelter from the showers in the grampians. further showers in the grampians. further showers east of northern ireland and inland across central part of england and wales. dampening activity later end of this system coming in from the south and west. —— ahead of this system. with more sunshine, pure showers, lighter winds. .. sunshine, pure showers, lighter winds... not such a bad day. then it all changes again for the weekend. the next area of low pressure coming in with more wind and rain. clearing into the afternoon with some brighter weather following. it might escape the rain in scotland and northern ireland, where it might be chilly but at least some sunshine. and then more wet weather on sunday.

not a complete wash—out weekend but there will be spells of rain and strong winds around so go prepared if you are heading out and about. see you later. hello, you're watching afternoon live, i'm simon mccoy. today at 2pm: 0ur father killed our mother and sister — the two brothers calling for better understanding of psychological abuse. from the outside it looked like we were a close—knit family. we were always together, we had a nice—looking house. and i think we put on a face as well, we didn't want anyone to know what was going on, almost. but on the inside we were terrified, we were fighting every single day. confusion over a brexit tv debate between two party leaders — theresa may accepts the bbc‘s proposal, butjeremy corbyn prefers itv‘s. a damning report into shrewsbury and telford nhs trust, already in special measures, and now rated inadequate. with criticism particulalry of its maternity care. why did you let me try a natural birth when you knew that there was something wrong with his head?

it could have been a completely different story.
