1:46 pm
sign up to about providing security and stability for workers. we are calling for at least four weeks notice for shifts, a contract that reflects actual hours worked and 16 hours a week and unless they work at request otherwise and this is about employers stepping up and watching it with big employers today. try and tackle the growth in insecure work we have seen in recent years. the flip side to insecure work as it can work very well for a lot of employers and for employees who want that flexibility. yes and under our measures this is about employers should not want this insecurity. new research shows 5 million people and low pay and insecure contracts across the uk and that means having shifts cancelled at the last minute, not knowing what you are working week by week. i was talking to a catering assistant and a city firm who both work they are him and his
1:47 pm
wife have three days notice, they have two children i cannot plan childcare and find it hard to balance a budget and we were hearing these stories again and again. we work with over 5000 living wage employers who wanted us to do something about this so we have spent 18 month developing these new measures which we think are robust and fairand measures which we think are robust and fair and provide workers with what they want but also stretching and feasible for business. they worry is reckoned people are in employment and without the level of flexibility the current law affords and the cost of guaranteeing someone sexting hours of work a week, that would mean some companies may respond to this by cutting jobs. we have full employment but we have not seen have full employment but we have not seenin have full employment but we have not seen in work poverty go down because we know there are real problems out there with no pay and this kind of insecure work but there are also, this is good for business so we have an launching today with aviva and
1:48 pm
standard life and richer sounds because these employers want to make sure everyone who works for them has control over their lives and has dignity and the reality is they know a few workers feel valued and work and are treated well they will be more motivated and perform better. this is good for business as well as society. thank you. consumers could save up to £60 million a year under new rules on buy now, pay later products. there's often a trap with these credit offers, as you could face a big bill if you are unable to pay the debt off in time. i spoke to the financial conduct authority's director of strategy and told me how it would work. this is a popular market, about 3 million people a year take these products in the uk from big retailers are online. usually expecting to pay back without paying interest within 12 months. what we're doing today is make sure those do not contain unfair conditions or
1:49 pm
traps for consumers. we are making the industry make the information they give a lot clearer and easier to understand but also where people pay back part of the cost during the year they should not pay interest on that song. —— that summer. lets have a quick look at the markets... lets have a quick look at the markets... that's all the business news. russia has released an investigative journalist less than a week after he was put under house arrest on spurious drugs charges. ivan golunov had been writing about high—level corruption and many saw the case against him as politically motivated. it's a rare instance of the russian authorities backing down under public pressure, as ramzan karmali reports.
1:50 pm
the moment he became a free man once again. thank you for your support, i haveit again. thank you for your support, i have it understand what is happening. iam happy have it understand what is happening. i am happy the case was dropped and justice was served. i hope the investigation will continue and no one will find himself in the same situation i did. mr golonov's employer supported the government for its climb—down. his arrest provoked anger that he was framed for investigations into corruption. authorities were eventually into a climb—down and cement suspended those involved. there will be a
1:51 pm
checkmate of the legality on the actions of the police officers. they have been discharged from their duties for the investigation. on monday in an unusual show of public support three of the's leading newspapers was the second rise defence of mr golonov. european union is for a thorough investigation and journals what action to be taken. it has been to say the least a mistake, actually a crime and the people who organised this will be held accountable and victory will only be real when these people are behind bars. and mr golonov has vowed to carry on his investigative work. i will continue the work i was doing and carry out investigations because i need to justify the trust in me that those who have supported me have shown. this is fantastic. plans were being made for a demonstration in moscow on wednesday, it was clear to eve ryo ne on wednesday, it was clear to everyone including the authorities

that this case was not going to go away quietly. his documentary about amy winehouse won him an oscar. now director asif kapadia has turned his attention to another troubled celebrity. diego maradona looks at the life of the argentine footballer, who won the fifa world cup for his team in 1986, knocking england out on the way with that famous "hand of god" goal. 0ur entertainment correspondent colin paterson went to meet asif ahead of the release to find out more. diego maradona — many believe the greatest footballer of all time. after the director asif kapadia won an oscar for his documentary about amy winehouse, he decided the perfect subject for his next one was maradona. when he rose to the top, when he became the best footballer in the world, and what were the reasons for his fall?
1:53 pm
what were the things that started to go wrong? where did the problems of addiction come from? that's the time and everything starts to go wrong. diego maradona focuses on his playing years for napoli in italy, using footage shot by argentinian cameramen for a film which was never completed, and it turns out that amy winehouse had a crucial role in maradona deciding to allow this one to be made. i'm not a girl trying to be a star or trying to be anything other than a musician. his daughters had seen amy and really liked it and i knew there were pictures of one of his daughters in camden, next to to statue of amy winehouse, so i knew, it was in the ether and i think they probably had a word with him and he watched it. and i think he found amy quite tough, it's a tough film to watch. and honestly, i feel like he was a little bit worried, thinking, "well, what kind of film are you going to make about me?" drugs, paternity disputes and run—ins with gangsters — they're all in there, as is his most notorious goal.
1:54 pm
this is diego's shirt for, i guess, the quarterfinal against england, this is it. in 1986, england were knocked out of the world cup by the hand of god. his strip from the match is kept at manchester's national football museum. what i can tell you is that having done so much research on diego maradona, i've seen him do that trick five times. three times he got away with it, twice he got blown and he got caught. so, it's not the first time he's hand balled a shot coming in and made it look like a header. and that speaking voice is maradona. he agreed to give three three—hour interviews for the film. he's really charismatic, he's a really good storyteller. what was interesting was trying to pin him down on kind of the key, let's say the more challenging aspects of his private life or things that went on. and despite having had the chance, maradona has still not seen the film, but asif hopes to sit down with him and show it to him.
1:55 pm
i might leave a bit of distance between us, just in case, and keep my eye on the door, but, you know, it would be fascinating, because i'm sure they'll be things he might find difficult. but there's a lot of stuff i'm sure he'd be crying kind of tears of happiness and joy. he won the world cup, will it be the oscars next for maradona? colin paterson, bbc news, manchester. some parts of the uk have had a month of rain and the last days at the same areas are likely to see more torrential rain and 2a of us. numerous flood warnings, several met 0ffice warnings because of the rain, heavy showers following, has moved further north so that our concerns we will see further river flooding and localised flooding and we have a lot of standing what ups watch out for that.
1:56 pm
also following on behind our lively showers which are turning thundery, there could be hail and lightning as well as torrential downpours. this more persistent rain sets in across east anglia and the midlands weather has been so wet recently come into lincolnshire and moving north and west through the night. ahead of that rather cloudy and really, and today the rain is further north across scotland and northern ireland some more limited the dryness and brightness. sunshine between the showers for the mouth but developing through wales and the midlands and northern ankle, persistent and heavy rain for several hours so no surprise amber warning from the met office and a mild night with a keen and north—easterly wind. met office issued the amber warning for the south and east of scotland, expected to see as much as 18 millimetres of rain, -- to see as much as 18 millimetres of rain, —— 80 millimetres with as much
1:57 pm
as a0 under the rain bank following throughout the night. more rain developing across south—west england and wales, perhaps drier and brighterfurther and wales, perhaps drier and brighter further south and east and west of scotland and northern ireland but all relative, the north—east breeze hold interpreters down in the north and the rain we might realise 18 with sunshine between the showers. to the end of the week the low moves to the north—west so we pick up a south—westerly wind, switching directions from the north—easterly so the showers will be in different areas, it could be northern ireland seen the wettest weather later in the week but we will see temperatures recovering under the south—westerly wind which take us into the weekend, no means dry but perhaps a little more dry and don't show any warnings on the website.
