the final countdown for ppi. the deadline is tomorrow. there are still believed to be thousands of people who haven't claimed. i'll have the details. yesterday we hit 33.1; degrees at heathrow. and that is it for a wee while. it will be cooler, wetter and windier over the next few days. more inis windier over the next few days. more in 15 minutes. it's wednesday the 28th of august. our top story. a woman who says she was a victim of the convicted us paedophile jeffrey epstein, and was forced into a sexual encounter with the duke of york, has urged the prince to "come clean" about what he knows. virginia roberts giuffre spok to reporters outsid a court in new york. it was after a hearing for alleged victims of epstein, who took his own life in prison earlier this month. prince andrew has strenuously denied the claims made against him. our north america correspondent

chris buckler was in court. jeffrey epstein‘s victims never had the chance to face him in court, but at a hearing in new york, they were given the opportunity to tell how he abused and exploited them, and they did so in graphic detail. before i knew what was happening, he grabbed onto my wrist and tugged me towards the bed. i tried to pull away but he was unbuttoning my shorts and pulling my body onto his already naked body faster than i could think. i was searching for words but all i could say was a meek, "no, please, stop". inside court, many of the women asked for their real names not to be used but they became emotional and some broke down in tears as they talked about the crimes that they suffered at the hands ofjeffrey epstein. they talked about being abused, exploited and manipulated by a man who they described as a complex villain. the disgraced financier‘s death inside a prison cell has led to many questions and in court, epstein‘s lawyers claimed the injuries he suffered were more consistent with an assault than a suicide.

whether it was a suicide or murder does not end the case, does not end their fight forjustice. it does not end their feeling that they were manipulated and victimised. epstein had many famous and influentialfriends, including donald trump and the duke of york. prince andrew has categorically denied allegations he had sex with a teenager exploited by epstein. virginia roberts giuffre who made those accusations against the prince was among those at court. he knows exactly what he has done and i hope he comes clean about it. jeffrey epstein may be dead but his victims are determined to ensure that the questions about his crimes continue to be asked. chris buckler, bbc news, new york. bury football club which was formed 134 years ago, has been expelled from the football league, after a last—ditch takeover bid collapsed. they had until 5pm

yesterday to complete a deal, sally is at the club's ground this morning. you mentioned tears there last night and that is not surprising. good morning. fans gathered here until late last night because you mentioned the deadline, the 5pm deadline last night and everyone thought that was a firm line in the sand. it turned out it was not really because talks and negotiations went on for past that. was no official extension of the deadline but were several interested parties, people who wanted to purchase the cloud. people i was in touch with late last night who thought that something might happen at the very last minute but quite simply it was not to be. desperately sad scenes here and this is what people will wake up to this morning. bury is a huge part of this town, their football cloud. bury is a huge part of this town, theirfootball cloud. from bury is a huge part of this town,

their football cloud. from the bury is a huge part of this town, theirfootball cloud. from the notes that people have been leaving here over the last few days did it we need to be careful of what we show you because i can tell you some of these notes are critical of the owner and very firmly suggesting they want him away from bury and their cloud. —— club. and for the fans, the worst has happened. this isa fans, the worst has happened. this is a statement from the executive chair of the english football league. she says it's one the darkest days in their recent history, and that they've done everything they can to avoid bury expelling bury. she says that they made the decision to uphold the integrity of the league and to avoid any further games being postponed. debbiejevons also acknowledges the impact on the players, staff and fans, saying that it's a decision that will affect the entire football family. she is right. not too far away from here, the bolton wanderers up the road are also in serious financial trouble. they have a theoretical

extension of trouble. they have a theoretical extension 01:14 days to keep going but we will bring you more news from them later this morning. later on we will also talk to fans who have been here day in and day out, talking to the support of clubs about what may happen to bury next. there has been a football club on this patch of land for over a century. what will happen to them next and to the people who work here? the chancellor sajid javid has brought forward an announcement on the government's spending priorities to next week, fuelling speculation that the ground is being prepared for a possible general election. health, schools and the police are all expected to receive a funding boost. let's get more from our political correspondent tom barton. tom, could an election be on the way? what are we expect in? it is an important time in relation to public spending. and there is nothing like a chancellor promising to spend billions of pounds to stoke speculation of an upcoming election.

number 10 say that this is not electioneering, they say the decision has been brought forward in order to provide certainty ahead of exit and to allow borisjohnson to deliver on some of his pledges as a new prime minister. however, the chancellor was due to give his first big speech as chancellor today and that has now been cancelled. labour shows that is panic setting in. so what can we expect sajid javid to announce when he turns up in parliament one week today to tell government departments much money they will have two spend for the next year? he is promising more money for what he describes as the people ‘s priorities. like you say, the focus on the health service, education and on police. but he says he will not write a blank cheque because borrowing, which the conservatives have focused on over the last decade, he says he will keep that to a minimum.

meanwhile, a leaked government document appears to confirm that schools in england will receive significantly more money. it's understood that ministers are seeking to end protests by head teachers over funding shortages, as ben ando reports. in march, the parents of millions of schoolchildren were sent letter from the head teachers warning that without more money, their schools would face cut. now the guardian newspaper is reporting that education is set to get an additional £4 billion as part of a raft of measures to close the funding shortfall and improve behaviour and outcomes in the classroom. the cash, it said, will be spent on, among other things, higher salaries for teachers, a new wave of free schools and better funding for children with special educational needs. officials for the department of education told the bbc they do not recognise these figures but they accept that negotiations

about school funding are under way. teachers say that what education really needs is long—term financial stability and not what one teacher ‘s leader described as election gimmicks. officials say the details of any new funding package will appear in due course but the clock is ticking for any haggling between the department of goshen and the treasury as the new chancellor, sajid javid, is due to make his first round of spending pledges exactly first round of spending pledges exa ctly o ne first round of spending pledges exactly one week from today. the family of a couple who died along with their baby, when their light aircraft came down in the alps, have spoken of their ‘devastation'. jonathan goldstein was an award—winning composer, his wife hannah was an acclaimed musician who performed a solo at the bbc proms. their plane took off from western switzerland on sunday morning but crashed near to the italian border. their seven—month—old daughter saskia was also on board. their family said they loved them all very much, and will miss them terribly. a 16—year—old boy has been arrested

on suspicion of murder, after the body of a teaching assistant was found in a graveyard. lindsay birbeck, a7, was found at accrington cemetery on saturday. a post—mortem examination found she'd been strangled. the teenager is being held in custody. a government advert telling eu citizens what they need to do to stay in the uk after brexit has been banned, after the advertising standards authority ruled it was misleading. in the radio advert which aired in april, listeners were told they only needed their passport or id card, and to complete an online form in order to apply. but many applicants were required to submit further documents. the home office says it completely disagrees with the decision. sales of takeaways across the uk have increased by a quarter in the last decade, according to new figures. the british takeaway campaign found the average household spent £38 a month on takeaways last year — a 25% rise in ten years. there's been a spike in popularity

in meat—free and vegan options. and those are not meat free options on the screen there. but look, it is on the screen there. but look, it is on its way. coming into the building. especially for you. on its way. coming into the building. especially foryou.m on its way. coming into the building. especially for you. it did look like our building. let's take a look at today's papers: our top story is also the daily mail's lead. it features the woman who accused jeffrey epstein of sexual abuse and says she was forced to have sex with prince andrew as a 17—year—old. the headline is a quote from virginia giuffre in which she says, "he knows what he has done". the duke of york has denied the claims. the guardian features the image of a bury football club fan looking dejected as the rescue bid for the team collapsed at the 11th hour last night. we will talk this morning about what

might happen next and how it came to this. children playing in the sea dominates the daily mirror's front page, with the paper explaining it was taken in a heatwave deep in the arctic circle. "our world is in meltdown", says the paper, offering a report from the "climate crisis front line" in greenland. the chancellor, sajid javid, warns in the daily telegraph that there will be "no blank cheques" for extra spending in the run—up to brexit. he tells the paper next week's spending review will bring more cash for schools, the police and nhs. stephanie is here with us to help us look at the inside pages. i have a couple of stories. there are a few ways of looking at the housing market and one way to do that is to look at mortgage approval to high street banks in july look at mortgage approval to high street banks injuly approved the highest number of new mortgages since early 2017. only a couple of yea rs since early 2017. only a couple of years since it was higher than that and they recorded a sharp rise in

remortgaging as well and this is driven by low interest rates and the fa ct driven by low interest rates and the fact that we still have a good jobs market in the country despite all thatis market in the country despite all that is going on with brexit. although if you look at the measures it gives more of a mixed picture of what is happening in housing markets. mortgage approvals is interesting and we talk about high streets and there is a nice story of something going on in finchley. you may recognise this picture here, this is dave davies from the kinks and he is in a battle at the moment to help his local shopping arcade which is facing demolition. he has come out in support of it saying that we need the small shops, the shops matter because they matter to people and making the argument again for why we need a bit more independence in our shopping rather than just independence in our shopping rather thanjust all independence in our shopping rather than just all the big independence in our shopping rather thanjust all the big high street chains. talking about skills as well, we won some metals. yes. we

talked about the world skills championship and all the young people under 25 who compete in everything from plumbing and forestry. anything you can get vocational training for. we got three gold medals and a bronze for aircraft maintenance. hairdressing and beauty. you definitely want somebody who has a gold medal in aircraft maintenance. you do not wa nt aircraft maintenance. you do not want the person who came fifth. aircraft maintenance. you do not want the person who came fifthm you want to play on a plane you want the best. bless him. you will see him shortly, he cries when he finds out because it meant so much to him. it's not good that is crying but you know what i mean. good. we will see him. that is what i mean and it is good that he won. this one always shocks me. these festivals that people have been enjoying over the summer people have been enjoying over the summerand this is people have been enjoying over the summer and this is the same. i don't know where it was from but this is

the scene after the festival ands. so many people are leaving. this is what i find odd, they are leaving whole tents behind according to the paper, festival—goers should be forced to pay a 25 pound deposit on the camping site to prevent tense being abandoned. it creates a sea of litter. and organisers say it is extraordinary. leads was one of the festivals they were talking about. the part of it, of course, is that the tents themselves are so cheap to purchase the people think they purchase the people think they purchase them for £15 or something on the assumption you leave it. but you can use it again. i think it is a good idea. people will want their money back. and the same, no doubt, they will be talking about and going to speeches about this. about the

environment, yet they happily walk away and leave this behind. it is not a bad motto, clean up as you go. fasting every other day could be the secret to losing weight, according to a new study. they did a trial and people that eight no food at all for 36 hours... no. then anything that felt like afterwards they lost more than half afterwards they lost more than half a pound but they want it may not be suitable for everyone and further studies are needed. suitable for everyone and further studies are neededlj suitable for everyone and further studies are needed. i remember from the cavemen films, but they used to do is they gorged. that makes sense. on the basis you might not get anything for a time. it is not good.

here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning, iam good morning, i am usually here. yesterday the temperature reached 33 a celsius at heathrow. for the next few days at least, we will not see temperatures anything like that as it will turn cooler, wetter and windier. sunshine in the forecast as well. you can see all of this cloud, some of it brought rain and thunderstorms. we have an array of weather fronts crossing our shores. this will bring a rain, in the northern and thunderstorms close to shetland in particular an event a cold front also bringing rain. you can see the bands. clear in the

south—east. thundery showers across shetland and more rain coming in from the west, moving across western scotland, northern ireland, england and wales. ahead of this, some sunshine and behind it, sunshine but also showers. temperatures are way down. about 2a degrees today. as we head on, rain pushing down to the south—east before it moves away. showers are coming in from the west ahead of the next weather front bringing rain to western scotland, and northern ireland. there will also be some clear skies. for most of us it is not going to be a cold night but if you are in here, it could be nippy for you first thing. a lot of dry weather to start the

day. the cloud continuing to build from the west. the rain for most of us from the west. the rain for most of us will not be happy but with the odd heavy bus. 35 miles per hour winds across the north—west. further south, more likely to be breezy. the wind more noticeable across the far north of the country. friday starts off in north of the country. friday starts offina north of the country. friday starts off in a largely dry note, particularly in england and wales. the weather from producing all this rain as it moves across scotland, northern england and also northern ireland. if you are hoping for rain in the south—east, it is not on the cloud certainly on friday either. highs of 2a degrees. saturday, we have the rain started to come south. can see how it is slowly pushing through scotland, northern england,

into south—west england, in the direction of the midlands. behind that some brighter skies but it will feel cooler. temperatures only 13 degrees in the stone away. in the south—east, we could hit 2a degrees. later on in the day, the rain pushing down into the south—east. i was watching closely because our next guest will be interested because he is outside. we all know how frustrating a poor internet connection can be, and if it's bad enough in towns and cities, it's often worse in rural areas. but now two of the remotest parts of the uk can boast that they're the best connected, as superfast broadband goes live to more than 300 homes. our technology correspondent, rory cellan—jones, has travelled some distance to find out more. it is beautiful. rory, where are you?

iamona i am on a tiny out rock cold grimsay, linked to a causeway to benbecula outer hebrides anything. you are eight hours away. but it is probably the best connected place across the uk. a fibre optic cable has come under the sea and that cable goes direct into every home in this community, just 100 or so homes giving them the best possible broadband. it is all that we have been promised by borisjohnson by 2025 but very few have got it right now. about 7% of the country. they say it is making a huge difference already and i have been talking to them about what life was like before fibre. we had air 3&3 and were not

able to give them access to the internet. it would take the best pa rt of internet. it would take the best part of half—an—hour to download. the connection lost. it was embarrassing. it was difficult. it's quite a journey to reach one of the uk's remote communities. first you land at benbecula, then you drive across a causeway to the rocky island of grimsay, home to just 100 households which now have state—of—the—art broadband connections. like many people here, robin spratt has a number of strings to his bow. a candlemaking business and bed and breakfast, but he used to have to tell guests that they couldn't use his expensive satellite broadband. with fibre coming in, it's just changed that completely. now we'll give our guests access to the internet straightaway and not only that, we can proudly tell them we've got fibre and it's fast and all the rest of it. it's made a huge difference.

this community believes their business will be transformed as will the economy of the island. 3eing able to work on line and at a distance is usually important. you can live where you want to live still work a city style job. it makes a a great difference to rural economy. this beautiful and incredibly remote place has got the best broadband you can possibly have but it's come at a big cost in public money. now borisjohnson says he wants everybody across the uk to have this by 2025. so how's that going to add up? this is the manhole where you've got the full fibre coming into the manhole... the man in charge of delivering fibre across the uk told me less tax and fewer rules would be needed to hit the target. we're talking to government right now about creating the conditions for improved investment

and to make itjust simpler. the prime minister is highly ambitious and so are we, and we applaud that ambition. clearly, the pace of build to reach that is probably bigger than any other country's ever done. it means we can work from home, download any time. send e-mails in a couple of seconds. it has given us new opportunities both personally and asa new opportunities both personally and as a business. you can hear from those you can hearfrom those peoplejust how important the connection has been. the big threat to this island is the population. very scattered community and not a lot of opportunity for young people and they are saying being connected will let them do things in a big hurry that everybody else in the country can do. it has come at a high price. the average cost for connecting a home in the city to fall fibre is

about £1100, connecting one of these homes here has cost £4000 or about £400, connecting one of these homes here has cost £4000 or more each. a lot of money from the scottish government, a certain amount of money from bt, hitting that target of getting this kind of connectivity by 2025 is notjust going to be expensive but it will ta ke going to be expensive but it will take a lot of people and a huge effort and people are saying it is very ambitious but people say it is very ambitious but people say it is very worth it. they might be rain on the way for you, rory, apology for that. it has been raining for the last 24 hours! you look very chary. —— cheerful. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. i'm tarah welsh.

nearly £1 million has been spent maintaining a closed prison in reading prison over the last three years. the listed building closed in 2013 and the ministry ofjustice says that security and maintenance costs at the prison have been reduced. the property is expected to be marketed in the autumn. but campaigners want it convered into an arts venue. i understand why it has always been very difficult for them to market because it is of such archaeological importance and the ministry of justice deals in justice, importance and the ministry of justice deals injustice, they do not deal in an awkward heritage site so it has been difficult for them to sort out exactly what they want to do with it. it is a tragedy it has cost that much money. a shopping centre in north east london which was badly damaged in a fire will reopen next week. more than half the roof was destroyed at the mall in walthamstow injuly. most shops on the ground floor will be up and running again from next wednesday. the cause of the fire is still unknown.

a survey of bus drivers found that one in five has reported tiredness more than once a week while working. transport bosses say they're taking "tough measures" to tackle the problem. transport for london has carried out a report, which includes calls on garages to introduce more training and funding for new technology that could help. there's a good service on all tube lines. but on the trains some stansted express services are cancelled between stansted airport and liverpool street, due to damage to overhead electric wires. two lanes are closed westbound on marylebone roadat the junction with york gate, due to water mains work. a serious accident is causing problems on the a127, southend road. it's closed out of town from junction 29 on the m25 to the halfway house roundabout. now the weather with kate kinsella.

good morning we are in for a bit of a change with the temperature feeling much cooler. lots of cloud and outbreaks of rain as well so we are waking up to quite a great start this morning. a warm start however. we had quite a muggy night. ranks in the cloud for the middle part of the day. the temperatures, 24, 20 five celsius, does not look too bad but compared to yesterday where we had 32 celsius, it will feel much cooler. outbreaks of light rain as the rain starts to move away eastwards, it should disappear by don. things are set to get fresher as we had further through the week. plenty of dry weather. some rain

perhaps overnight. temperatures will fill much fresher compared to the last few days. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning: one of the biggest names in british film and television will be with us this morning — timothy spall‘s coming in to tell us about his new role as the artist ls lowry. while billions of pounds have been paid out in pp! compensation — you've now got less than two days if you think you're entitled to make a claim. steph will be here to talk us through it, and she'll be hearing from money saving expert martin lewis. and we'll be chatting to newsreader george alagiah about his debut novel, and his treatment for bowel cancer. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. good morning.

here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. it's wednesday the 28th of august. a woman who says she was a victim of the convicted us paedophile jeffrey epstein, and was forced into a sexual encounter with the duke of york, has urged the prince to "come clean" about what he knows. virginia roberts giuffre spoke to reporters outside a court in new york. it was after a hearing for alleged victims of epstein, who took his own life in prison earlier this month. prince andrew has strenuously denied the claims made against him. our north america correspondent chris buckler was in court. jeffrey epstein's victims never had the chance to face him in court, but at a hearing in new york, they were given the opportunity to tell how he abused and exploited them, and they did so in graphic detail. before i knew what was happening, he grabbed onto my wrist and tugged me towards the bed. i tried to pull away but he was unbuttoning my shorts and pulling my body onto his already naked body faster than i could think. i was searching for words but all i could say was a meek,

"no, please, stop". inside court, many of the women asked for their real names not to be used but they became emotional and some broke down in tears as they talked about the crimes that they suffered at the hands ofjeffrey epstein. they talked about being abused, exploited and manipulated by a man who they described as a complex villain. the disgraced financier‘s death inside a prison cell has led to many questions and in court, epstein's lawyers claimed the injuries he suffered were more consistent with an assault than a suicide. whether it was a suicide or murder does not end the case, does not end their fight forjustice. it does not end their feeling that they were manipulated and victimised. epstein had many famous and influentialfriends, including donald trump and the duke of york. prince andrew has categorically denied allegations he had sex with a teenager exploited by epstein.

virginia roberts giuffre who made those accusations against the prince was among those at court. he knows exactly what he has done and i hope he comes clean about it. jeffrey epstein may be dead but his victims are determined to ensure that the questions about his crimes continue to be asked. chris buckler, bbc news, new york. the chancellor sajid javid has brought forward an announcement on the government's spending priorities to next week, fuelling speculation that the ground is being prepared for a possible general election. health, schools and the police are all expected to receive a funding boost. but mrjavid says any departments expecting a blank cheque will be sorely disappointed. meanwhile, a leaked government document appears to confirm that schools in england will receive significantly more money. it's understood that ministers are seeking to end protests by head teachers over funding shortages, as ben ando reports. in march, the parents of millions

of schoolchildren were sent a letter from the head teachers warning that without more money, their schools would face cut. now the guardian newspaper is reporting that education is set to get an additional £4 billion as part of a raft of measures to close the funding shortfall and improve behaviour and outcomes in the classroom. the cash, it said, will be spent on, among other things, higher salaries for teachers, a new wave of free schools and better funding for children with special educational needs. officials for the department of education told the bbc they do not recognise these figures but they accept that negotiations about school funding are under way. teachers say that what education really needs is long—term financial stability and not what one teacher's leader described as election gimmicks. officials say the details of any new funding package will appear in due course but the clock is ticking for any haggling between the department of education and the treasury

as the new chancellor, sajid javid, is due to make his first round of spending pledges exactly one week from today. the family of a couple who died along with their baby, when their light aircraft came down in the alps, have spoken of their devastation. jonathan goldstein was an award—winning composer, his wife hannah was an acclaimed musician who performed a solo at the bbc proms. their plane took off from western switzerland on sunday morning but crashed near to the italian border. their seven—month—old daughter saskia was also on board. their family said they loved them all very much, and will miss them terribly. a 16—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder, after the body of a teaching assistant was found in a graveyard. lindsay birbeck, 47, was found at accrington cemetery on saturday. a post—mortem examination found she'd been strangled. the teenager is being

held in custody. a government advert telling eu citizens what they need to do to stay in the uk after brexit has been banned, after the advertising standards authority ruled it was misleading. in the radio advert which aired in april, listeners were told they only needed their passport or id card, and to complete an online form in order to apply. but many applicants were required to submit further documents. the home office says it completely disagrees with the decision. good news for red wine lovers — it could be healthy for your stomach, according to british researchers. the team from king's college london found that micronutrients in red wine could increase the healthy mix of bacteria in the gut, and just one glass a fortnight was enough to make a difference. but that's not an excuse to binge, the study says.

i love the way that they add that health warming as well —— warning as well, just in case. bury football fans have been left in tears and disbelief after their club was officially expelled from the english football league late last night. quite sad scenes for them, sally. yes. we are standing here on a little patch of history, i feel, here at gigg lane. the club is so intrinsically linked to the community here, there are football clu bs. community here, there are football clubs. they are packed into this area of the north—west and if you support bury, there is a lot of other competition. if you choose to support bury you really do love them so you can imagine the devastation last night when the news came through. to talk about it in more detail i am joined by radio manchester sports reporter who has been covering this from the start, andi been covering this from the start, and i meanfrom been covering this from the start, and i mean from months ago. been covering this from the start, and i meanfrom months ago. mike, can you tell us what happened here

last night? i4 o'clock we heard the news that the potential new buyers pulled out of the deal to purchase bury. and then there was a when —— waiting game. we thought no—one else would come in. what we did here is that there were buyers going on after five o'clock with proof of funds to try and get a last—minute deal or a stay of execution, an extension over the line. at 11 o'clock last night, however, we learnt that that was it. tefl said that time is time, as they had threatened throughout. time is time and bury would no longer be in the football league. and what was the reaction? it was a huge shock. a cry of disbelief went around and then angen of disbelief went around and then anger. the varying stages of grief because anger was certainly one of them. some fans got in the car and drove to the owner ‘s house immediately. others were walking around in floods of tears. as you

said, this is their life. they chose bury as their football club and that was taken away from them last night. what are the options now for what might happen next? the first is that the sale goes through however they are at the football league now and they have to reapply to a non— league league which means that buying bury with all its debt is less attractive. the other option is that if there are no buyers and they cannot afford to run the club, the accreditation will follow. and we are on the verge of bury not being the only club, the they will be the first of many sitting given the rising wealth of the championship and the premier league, those lower down the football chain are struggling to finance themselves. we heard of the problems are bolton wanderers and a team down the road are also facing problems. it is an epidemic at the moment and we are in danger of losing more than bury.

epidemic at the moment and we are in danger of losing more than 3ury. you mentioned bolton and today our attention turns to them because they we re attention turns to them because they were given a reprieve to appoint last night but by no means are they safe. they have a 14 day deadline from the efl boat more than that to week deadline is the one that the administrator set on bank holiday monday, two days ago when they said that basically there is no more money for administration and we cannot afford to keep going in this process. when they came in we were told weeks not months yet here we are and still no further news of a takeover. we are told that there is a buyer and the dealers close but there is the problem with getting signatures and that is what the issue is. the bolton wanderers today could possibly face being liquidated and wound up. such a desperately sad situation. so sad for the people who have supported these clubs for many yea rs have supported these clubs for many years and for those who work here as well. the press officer, the ticket officer here, he said last night

that he was done. on friday he shot up that he was done. on friday he shot up early when there were fears that cnn would not be in and he said he would just stay at the ground. another woman who left her position a couple of weeks ago, met amidst all this but for those two, mr and mrs bury, to league —— to leave and face the heartbreak. and it is not just then that make them. it is the local businesses well who rely on match day trade. they can survive over the summer because of what they get from august to may. it will not only be a difficult time for the clu b only be a difficult time for the club and the fans but also for the town of bury. elsewhere this morning, kyle edmund has been knocked out of the first round of the us open for the second year in a row. it was a really topsy turvy match

for the british number one against spain's pablo andujar in new york — and he took it to a final set having trailed by two set to one. but edmund's game completely left him in the fifth set which he lost pretty quickly. rafael nadal is through to the second round. he's the second seed and made short work of the australianjohn millman, who he beat in straight sets at flushing meadows. slightly more tricky for the defending women's champion naomi osaka. she had a really tough battle with the 20—year—old russian anna blinkova. osaka was taken to three sets before eventually making it through to second round. there were a couple of shocks in the efl cup last night. two premier league sides beaten by lower league opposition. norwich lost to crawley town, and crystal palace were beaten on penalties by colchester united. all the other premier league clubs survived, including west ham who beat newport county 2—0, a score which included a first hammers goal forjack wilshere. one other line of football news, it looks like alexis sanchez has finally found a way out of manchester united. they've agreed a deal for him

to join the italian side inter milan on a season—long loan. and that is it from us here at gigg lane. will bring you the latest bury the bolton wanderers throughout the programme. steph is here who set out a warning yesterday that we will do a countdown. 48 hours —ish yesterday for the pp! and how long do we have now? it is until1159 for the pp! and how long do we have now? it is until 1159 on thursday night. august 29, you have until 1159 to get a claim in. just to remind everyone, this is the payment protection insurance, what people may have added, if they had insurance or if their credit cards or loans of any sort, mortgages and that type of thing, financial products and it was sold from the 19705 products and it was sold from the 1970s through to 2010. and then

there were lots of concerns that people had been mis— sorted because they did not need it all they did not even know they had it and had not even know they had it and had not seen it in the terms and conditions. therefore the banks had to pay compensation to people to the tune of about £36 billion this. that's what's been paid out since 2011. and it is still ongoing. the average payment received because of being mis— sold is between two and £3000 per person so it is a lot of money and still the claims have been coming. so the deadline is tomorrow because the financial conduct authority that regulates the banks says enough is enough. thisjust keeps going on and on and we need to close it now because it has been going on for years. they have done some research on this and they have said that more than one third of people are planning to this decide whether to claim or not on the very last day. so people will decide tomorrow whether or not to claim and

for a lot of people they may think that they cannot be bothered to i definitely did not have it. actually they may have and many people now have made it very simple to claim. that is what i wanted to ask you. there is still time? there is. and the kind of detail you need are your previous addresses, your date of birth and the banks you may have banked with. but you can be vague about all of that. so there are many websites such as in which weather? which? there are many ways you can be part of this without needing a lot of information although the advice from the experts is if you are going to do it, please start today because you may need to go and check what the postcode was of a previous address or you might need to work out a few more bits and pieces. in a way, with banks it is easier to remember who you banked with. there is probably only a

handful. but other products were gets more confusing, purchasing cars and other individual items over the yea rs and other individual items over the years that you would not remember. with a lot of these sites you can ta ke with a lot of these sites you can take all the boxes. then, of course, they will check and if you did not bank with them, they would send you a letter but they would be so many who think i did not have one with so—and—so but then you find out you dead. now is the time to do it and the banks of extra people working. there is a flood of claims because the regulator has said, categorically, that the deadline will not be extended so it. but hopefully we. getting all those cold

calls... they will still do the one about injury. and the internet provider. have you ever had a crash... is that the official statement, we have all people working and all that jazz? all that jazz, working and all that jazz? all that jazz, yes. working and all that jazz? all that jazz, yes. ithought working and all that jazz? all that jazz, yes. i thought it might be. lewis has helped a lot of people help get their money back. let's say good morning to carole. yesterday we had 33.4dc at heathrow, that was the last day of the current burst of heat. over the next few days it will turn cooler and it will also be wetter and windier. some sunshine in the forecast. we have seen sunshine in the forecast. we have seen quite a bit of rain through the course of the night. this band

turned thundery. another bad coming in from the west. persistent frame across the north—west. what will happen as we go through the day, the bad pushing down into the south—east will clear. —— band. the band in the south—west pushing down in to the south—west pushing down in to the south east. the south—east band is clearing away. thunderstorms for a time across shetland then it dries up. a second weather from producing all this rain, some heavy and persistent as it to journeys towards the south—east. behind that one, we are also looking bright skies, and some showers, some can prove to be on the heavyside. 15 in the north, 24 in the south. well down on what we saw yesterday. overnight, the weather front continues its journey,

getting into the south—east as a week feature. a band of cloud with the odd splash of rain. the next weather front coming in from the atla ntic weather front coming in from the atlantic introduces rain to western scotla nd atlantic introduces rain to western scotland and the rest of northern ireland. by the end of the night, it will throw cloud ahead of it and we can see showers coming out of that. most of us staying in double figures. we can have temperatures deep as far as six degrees. —— deep. afair bit deep as far as six degrees. —— deep. a fair bit of sunshine first thing on thursday. the weather front from the west, showery in nature, so we will be looking at some rain, fairly sporadic. our developing so we're looking at sunny spells rather than blue skies but it is of the south—east that hangs on to the brightest conditions for the longest. friday sees a lot of dry

weather to start with across england and wales but you can see, through the day, a few showers developed before the arrival of rain, already in scotland and northern ireland. that is sinking slowly south—west words. it will be windy on thursday and friday in the north. brightest quys and friday in the north. brightest guys are behind but we hang onto a lot of dry weather so if you're after some rain in the south—east, not a huge amount in the forecast. the weather from producing all of this rain will also slowly had towards the but not getting here during daylight powers. —— hours. behind the band of rain, sunny spells, some showers but feeling much fresher because the wind is going to be more of a north—westerly and that is a cooler direction. i was noticing how much darker it is. it creeps up on you. you are

absolutely right. when we were at wimbledon in the summer it was 4:30am and it was a day late and now it is still dark at six o'clock. it goes quick this summer. there's speculation that a general election is on the way, after the chancellor brought forward an announcement on the government's spending plans to next week. health, schools and the police are all expected to receive a funding boost. let's get more from our political correspondent tom barton. tom, is this a sign that there could be an election? there is nothing like a chancellor promising to spend billions of pounds to stoke speculation that an election is under way. number 10 say, no. they say the spending review has been brought forward in

order to provide confidence and certainty ahead of brexit but also to allow borisjohnson, a new prime minister, to deliver on his pledges. this decision was certainly unexpected. the chancellor was supposed to be giving his first speech as a chancellor today. that has been cancelled because of this decision. labour says that shows panic is setting in. what can we expect to see when sajid javid tells department how much money they will have to spend for the next financial year? well, we're talking about more money for what he calls the people ‘s priorities bash the health service, education and the police dash but he is promising to do that without increasing borrowing above

what is called the fiscal rules that the tories have followed. borrowing below 2% of gdp. the question he will face is how we can spend more money while not borrowing significantly more and, at the same time, spending all this money on preparing for an ideal brexit and the big question if an ideal happens, the money he has to spend on stabilising the economy if the predictions are some economies are making come true. —— a no—deal brexit. making come true. —— a no—deal 3rexit. what came out of the meeting yesterday? a surprising amount of unity is the headline. those opposition leaders from across the opposition leaders from across the opposition parties agreeing a united approach to trying to stop a no—deal brexit essentially using parliament and legislation to force the

government to delay brexit. whether they can do that in practice, when parliament returns next week, is a different question altogether. the work of ls lowry captured the industrial landscape of northern england, and now a new film about his life will paint a picture of a man who had a challenging relationship with his mother. the lead role is played by timothy spall, and our entertainment correspondent colin paterson went to see him on set during filming. cold, windy, just not enough real rain. on the set of the new movie of the artist ls lowry. it is about ls lowry, the finest salford painter and his mother and the relationship and his mother and the relationship and how his work is influenced by that relationship. 3uilt at the end of 18th century by christian

communities in greater manchester is used to recreate the suburb where ls lowry lived. we found it difficult to find enough street and environments that were completely authentic because most of the meals have either been destroyed or turned into expensive luxury flats. the morning was spent filming a scene where ls lowry max a phone call. —— made a phone call. it is confusing and appears to have been painted by and appears to have been painted by a child. it is an insult to the people of lancashire. it is not the first time timothy ‘s have has played a painter having starred in a turner movie. i spent four or five hours just staring at his paintings and then read biographies and stuff. his relationship with his mother is

very important because he was more or less her carer. he would paint some of the great masterpieces we have seen there. the film's producer, debbie grey, took us on a two. you can see with the cobbles and of the houses, it really is so. 1934. that is one of the residents p°ppin9 1934. that is one of the residents popping his head out to see what is going on. obviously, we attract a lot of attention. the afternoon's filming, a scene where ls lowry walks past his neighbour. the red dot on the blue? and how accurate is it? well, the art department would say it is absolutely completely accurate. this is how it will look on the screen. there is that woman

again. her clothes immaculate. on the screen. there is that woman again. her clothes immaculatelj again. her clothes immaculate.” approve. there are so many things. how many minutes will you get from today? three. 3ut now the paint is dry, the movie is finished and the rain machine can be put away. timothy will be here a little bit later to talk about the film. it is a lwa ys later to talk about the film. it is always fascinating to see behind the scenes although some people say it spoils the magic. good morning from bbc london. i'm tarah welsh. nearly £1 million has been spent maintaining a closed prison

in reading prison over the last three years. the listed building closed in 2013 and the ministry ofjustice says that security and maintenance costs at the prison have been reduced. the property is expected to be marketed in the autumn. but campaigners want it convered into an arts venue. i understand why it has always been very difficult for them to market because it is of such archaeological importance and the ministry ofjustice deals in justice, they do not deal in gee, what do we do with an awkward heritage site so it has been difficult for them to sort out exactly what they want to do with it. it is a tragedy it has cost that much money. a shopping centre in north east london which was badly damaged in a fire will reopen next week. more than half the roof was destroyed at the mall in walthamstow injuly. most shops on the ground floor will be up and running again from next wednesday. the cause of the fire is still unknown. a survey of bus drivers found that one in five has reported tiredness more than once

a week while working. transport bosses say they're taking "tough measures" to tackle the problem. transport for london has carried out a report, which includes calls on garages to introduce more training and funding for new technology that could help. let's take a look at the travel situation now: there's a good service on all tube lines. great northern have no trains running in certain areas. two lanes are closed westbound at the junction with york gate due to water main work and a serious accident is causing problems on the 127 on the southern road. now the weather with kate kinsella.

good morning. we are in for a bit of a change today. the temperature is going to feel much cooler. we've got lots of cloud and some outbreaks of rain as well. so we are waking up to quite a grey start this morning. a warm start however. we had quite a muggy night. the rain will clear away eastwards. some breaks in the cloud through the middle part of the day, ahead of the cold front which will start to move in, bringing more cloud towards the end of the afternoon and into the evening. the temperature today, 24, 25 celsius — does not look too bad but compared to yesterday, where we had 33 celsius, it is going to feel much cooler. overnight, this cold front sweeps through, just outbreaks of light rain for us as that cloud starts to move away eastwards, it should have disappear by dawn as well, leading to a bright start for thursday. still quite a warm night — 12—15 celsius, the minimum, but things are set to get fresher as we had further through the week. plenty of dry weather in the forecast. perhaps a little bit of rain perhaps overnight saturday, into sunday. but temperatures, compared to the last few days, are going to feel much fresher. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom

in half an hour. good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. our headlines today: prince andrew is challenged by one ofjeffrey epstein's alleged victims to explain his connections to the american billionaire. he knows exactly what he has done and i hope he comes clean about it. thank you.

one of england's ‘s oldest football clu bs, one of england's ‘s oldest football clubs, bury, is expelled from the league after 130 years.” clubs, bury, is expelled from the league after 130 years. i am at the home ground of gigg lane there were tears here last night bury may not be the last club to go. could alton wanderers be next? more money for schools, the nhs and police. thomases from the chancellor led to speculation of a general election. the final countdown for ppi. is tomorrow forgetting your claim in. thousands of people could still be owed money. iwill thousands of people could still be owed money. i will have all the details. good morning. the top temperature yesterday was 33.4dc at heathrow. for the next few days from today onwards it will be cooler, wetter and windier with some sunshine. more in 15 minutes. it's wednesday the 28th of august. our top story. a woman who says she was a victim

of the convicted us paedophile jeffrey epstein, and was forced into a sexual encounter with the duke of york, has urged the prince to "come clean" about what he knows. virginia roberts giuffre spoke to reporters outside a court in new york. it was after a hearing for alleged victims of epstein, who took his own life in prison earlier this month. prince andrew has strenuously denied the claims made against him. our north america correspondent chris buckler was in court. jeffrey epstein's victims never had the chance to face him in court, but at a hearing in new york, they were given the opportunity to tell how he abused and exploited them, and they did so in graphic detail. before i knew what was happening, he grabbed onto my wrist and tugged me towards the bed. i tried to pull away but he was unbuttoning my shorts and pulling my body onto his already naked body faster than i could think. i was searching for words but all i could say was a meek, "no, please, stop". inside court, many of the women

asked for their real names not to be used but they became emotional and some broke down in tears as they talked about the crimes that they suffered at the hands ofjeffrey epstein. they talked about being abused, exploited and manipulated by a man who they described as a complex villain. the disgraced financier‘s death inside a prison cell has led to many questions and in court, epstein's lawyers claimed the injuries he suffered were more consistent with an assault than a suicide. ‘s whether it was a suicide or murder does not end the case, does not end their fight forjustice. it does not end their feeling that they were manipulated and victimised. epstein had many famous and influentialfriends, including donald trump and the duke of york. prince andrew has categorically denied allegations he had sex with a teenager exploited by epstein. virginia roberts giuffre who made those accusations against the prince was

among those at court. he knows exactly what he has done and i hope he comes clean about it. jeffrey epstein may be dead but his victims are determined to ensure that the questions about his crimes continue to be asked. chris buckler, bbc news, new york. the chancellor sajid javid has brought forward an announcement on the government's spending priorities to next week, fuelling speculation that the ground is being prepared for a possible general election. health, schools and the police are all expected to receive a funding boost. let's get more from our political correspondent tom barton. tom, could an election be on the way? what do we know? there is nothing like a chancellor promising to spend billions of pounds to stoke speculation that an election could be on the way. sajid javid next week will stand up in parliament on wednesday and tell government departments how much cash they will

have to spend for the next year. he is promising more money for what he describes as the people ‘s priorities, the health service, schools and the police that he promises to do that while not increasing government borrowing above the limit of 2% of gdp that the conservatives have stuck to for the conservatives have stuck to for the last few years. number 10 says that this is not electioneering. they say it is simply providing certainty for business ahead of exit and also allowing borisjohnson to deliver on his pledges as the new prime minister. it is also unexpected, just how early in the parliamentary session the government is delivering this spending review. so uninspected in fact that sajid javid has cancelled his first big speech as chancellor which he was due to deliver today. labour say that that shows that the government is suffering from panic. thank you

very much. meanwhile, a leaked government document appears to confirm that schools in england will receive significantly more money. it's understood that ministers are seeking to end protests by head teachers over funding shortages, as ben ando reports. in march, the parents of millions of schoolchildren were sent a letter from the head teachers warning that without more money, their schools would face cuts. now the guardian newspaper is reporting that education is set to get an additional £4 billion as part of a raft of measures to close the funding shortfall and improve behaviour and outcomes in the classroom. the cash, it said, will be spent on, among other things, higher salaries for teachers, a new wave of free schools and better funding for children with special educational needs. officials for the department of education told the bbc they do not recognise these figures but they accept that negotiations about school funding are under way. teachers say that what education

really needs is long—term financial stability and not what one teacher's leader described as election gimmicks. officials say the details of any new funding package will appear in due course but the clock is ticking for any haggling between the department of education and the treasury as the new chancellor, sajid javid, is due to make his first round of spending pledges exactly one week from today. a 16—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder, after the body of a teaching assistant was found in a graveyard. lindsay birbeck, 47, was found at accrington cemetery on saturday. a post—mortem examination found she'd been strangled. the teenager is being held in custody. the family of a couple who died along with their baby, when their light aircraft came down in the alps, have spoken of their devastation. jonathan goldstein was an award—winning composer, his wife hannah was an acclaimed musician

who performed a solo at the bbc proms. their plane took off from western switzerland on sunday morning but crashed near to the italian border. their seven—month—old daughter saskia was also on board. their family said they loved them all very much, and will miss them terribly. a government advert telling eu citizens what they need to do to stay in the uk after brexit has been banned, after the advertising standards authority ruled it was misleading. in the radio advert which aired in april, listeners were told they only needed their passport or id card, and to complete an online form in order to apply. but many applicants were required to submit further documents. the home office says it completely disagrees with the decision. sales of takeaways across the uk have increased by a quarter in the last decade, according to new figures. the british takeaway campaign found the average household spent £38 a month on takeaways last year — a 25% rise in ten years. there's been a spike in popularity

in meat—free and vegan options. it is nine minutes past seven. let's go back to one of our main stories. bury football club, formed 140 years ago, has been expelled from the football league after a last ditch ta keover football league after a last ditch takeover bid collapsed. they had until 5pm yesterday afternoon to do some kind of deal but it did not happen. sally is at the ground this morning. good morning. this is the thing that all the fans dreaded. this is the moment. in fact it happened very late last night so many people are putting on their televisions this morning and waking up to the news because at 11 o'clock last night, the confirmation finally came through, that this historic football

club, this patch of football history we stand on this everything has changed for them. gigg lane has been here for over 130 years. so many incredible football teams have come here and matches played here. such a huge part of the community and we got confirmation last night that they were expelled from the football league. all over the place there are flags and scarves dotted around. you can see here bury till i die. we have clout that make cards and flags —— cards and flags over there. this isa —— cards and flags over there. this is a community in morning. club is still here but they no longer have a place in the football league. there we re place in the football league. there were several people interested in purchasing bury last night but none of those deals went through in time. and then, basically, the plug was pulled. and this is what the executive chair of the english football league said. she said it is one of the darkest days in recent history. they had done everything

they could to avoid expelling bury and went on to say that they made the decision to uphold the integrity of the league and to avoid any further games from being postponed. she also acknowledged the impact on the players, the staff and the fans saying that it is a decision that will affect the entire football family. not too far from here, will affect the entire football family. not too farfrom here, not many miles away, bolton wanderers are ina many miles away, bolton wanderers are in a similarly precarious position today, they have a 14 day extension but the illustrators are saying they simply do not have enough money to keep that club going for 14 days. grim times in the lower leagues. they really are. thank you very much, sally. let's find out more about the financial pressures facing lower league clubs, with football finance expert, rob wilson, from sheffield hallam university. i suppose in a way, the easy part of this is uncomfortable as it is, the fa ns this is uncomfortable as it is, the fans and for the emotions involved, thatis fans and for the emotions involved, that is one thing. what is the

business that has gone wrong here? to put it simply, they spent far more than they were earning. this has systematically happened over the last few years, it is not new. they have been mounting the amount of money they have owed to other creditors, spending huge amount of monies on player salaries and player tra nsfers monies on player salaries and player transfers and they simply do not have the money back in. over time, presumably the club would argue that they need to spend the money to play they need to spend the money to play the game. that is the business model. you have to spend money to keep up with your rivals who are spending money. you do. in the competitive nature of the league is where it gets complicated. big teams drop out of the premier league with parachute payments distorting the competitive balance of the championship. that then filters down and clubs are so much bigger than their competitors that the smaller teams think they have to do much morejust to be teams think they have to do much more just to be able to maintain their league position, let alone be

promoted and that puts them under more financial pressure and when revenue does not rise and they can't get a new sponsor or fill out a stadium, that will end up in financial distress. waited start going wrong for bury? was it something in particular? everyone will look at the takeover. there we re will look at the takeover. there were obviously financial issues there if you can sell a club for £1. because you inherit a load of mass. and since that takeover he spent considerably on salaries in particular and stories are emerging of average salaries of £8,000 a week which is unsustainable. so there is a more acute issue over the last 12 months but these are historic problems as well. many people would ask themselves a lot of questions but the only people who do not have questions to answer other fans because they stayed with the club and it has been there for so long. they pay their money, they went to

see their games. but the issue now ina way see their games. but the issue now in a way is that can a club like that be sustained without a wealthy benefactor? someone prepared to effectively lose money because they love the club? there are a few things here. the buck stops with the board and ultimately they were in charge of making the decisions that led to this financial distress. the afl have questions to answer because they allow owners to come in and expect them to operate a business plan and the way they say they will and they don't regulate that. and we have a thing could financial fairplay which perversely is distorting the system even more. is wealthy benefactor you mention are actually now permitted to invest heavily in clubs like we have seen over the last few years because the financial fairplay regulations stop you from investing that sort of money as well. clubs have to be sustainable and have to watch their face financially. 3olton wanderers are also in trouble. they have another 14 days to avoid expulsion.

ona wider. another 14 days to avoid expulsion. on a wider. presumably if it is happening to these two clubs, other clubs must be in a similar position. what can be done? what would make the difference? bury and bolton are the difference? bury and bolton are the tip of the iceberg, they are under the spotlight now. 20% of clu bs a re under the spotlight now. 20% of clubs are operating in the football league system are not sustainable. 2096! i league system are not sustainable. 20%! i would say at least 20%. they have a hand to mouth existence and thatis have a hand to mouth existence and that is how they keep moving forward , that is how they keep moving forward, if you will. but there are huge issues across the football system and the afl have a huge job to do. they have to regulate and control the system. spall was about elsewhere, america, they have enormous amount of clubs

playing on different levels. do other models work better? remember, in america, there is a much lower concentration of teams. in england, especially, you have smaller professional tea m especially, you have smaller professional team sports right across the uk and that makes it difficult for anyone wanting to generate lots of money and get receives and sponsorship. thank you very much for that. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. we were talking about how dark it is and the colder good morning, yesterday we reached 33.4 good morning, yesterday we reached 33 .4 celsius at heathrow. over the weekend 33.2. today more likely to be 24. a lot of cloud around first thing this morning. some of us are seeing some rain some of us seeing

sunshine. cooler, wetter and windier thanit sunshine. cooler, wetter and windier than it has been. we have had rain overnight. the re m na nts of we have had rain overnight. the remnants of that this morning. the rain will clear but it will bring thunderstorms into shetland in the not—too—distant thunderstorms into shetland in the not—too—dista nt future. thunderstorms into shetland in the not—too—distant future. a second weather front also bringing not—too—distant future. a second weatherfront also bringing rain, some of that heavy and persistent but in between all of these bands of rain, bright skies or indeed some sunshine. you could see the odd shower but most of us will not. 24 hours at the top temperature. generally, 15 — 20. overnight the weather front will continue to push down to the south—east. it will be clouded with spots of rain. clear skies following behind. this next weather front coming across northern ireland and western scotland overnight. a wee bit more cloud

building. that could produce some showers. temperatures falling to double figures but across parts of this area could be chilly. a lot of dry weather and sunshine start the day. the weather front coming in from the west, reina shari is a move across scotland, northern ireland and northern england as well. —— rain showery and moving across scotland. went gusting to 35 miles per hour with exposure. in the north. breezy in the south. friday, dry weather to start across england and wales. some sunshine. rain already across scotland and northern ireland slowly sweeping southwards get into northern england, parts of wales by the end of the afternoon.

behind it, brighter skies but again, 15 the highest temperature. sunshine across the south—east we are looking at 24. the saturday, the weather front draped across wales, northern england, making a slowjourney towards the south—east but it will not get there until later on in the day. we hang on to the sunshine in the south—east. the other thing is, the south—east. the other thing is, the wind changes direction to a north—westerly which is a cooler direction so it will feel fresher. we're to the outer hebrides later and it will be fresh there as well. you might remember yesterday we spoke to the young people representing the uk at the world skills event taking place in russia.

iliken it i liken it to the olympics but for trades. young people under 25 doing apprenticeships, vocational training, so all the apprenticeships, vocational training, so allthe kind apprenticeships, vocational training, so all the kind of things you can imagine like hairdressing, plumbing, plastering. this is the ceremony for last night. i come bearing good news, we got gold for aircraft maintenance. 23, from cambridge. a golden beauty therapist. 22. we have connor, a gold... sorry, a silver in cloud painting from northern ireland. and phoebe, 20, a bronze in hairdressing. you can see vladimir putin. this is a big deal. we do not see it very often, apart from me banging on about it all the time.” feel i am familiar with it because

you are passionate about it. half $1 billion was spent on the opening ceremony alone. it is a big deal because it is celebrating a lot of the skills we need anything work place. i want to show you one little clip from that young man on the programme yesterday. he has worked really hard. they have done the regional, national competitions to be part of team uk. this was a big moment after he found out he won.” can't believe it. two years of training. ican't can't believe it. two years of training. i can't believe it. can't believe it. two years of training. ican't believe it. 3less him. he took a year out of uni to do this. that is the best thing on the programme today. aircraft maintenance, we need people like that. now he has been crowned. many

congratulations to him and everybody else. it is on every two years. yes, next time it will be in china. a near—total ban on the export of wild african elephants to zoos has been approved by global wildlife leaders in geneva. rules have been tightened after days of debate, despite strong opposition from zimbabwe. let's talk to charity campaigner audrey delsink who's in geneva, and with us here is phil riordan from marwell wildlife zoo in winchester. tell us about this ban. we're calling it a near what does it mean? it isa calling it a near what does it mean? it is a very important wind. only under exceptional circumstances may elephants be traded outside their natural range but this is under very strict scrutiny after the animal committees and independent elephants group. how much different will it

make? it will make a tremendous difference before it was essentially in the hands of those countries, botswa na in the hands of those countries, botswana and zimbabwe, they were able to make that decision and they have exported a vast number of elephants already. this essentially prohibits that and it will have an ad an important layer of scientific verification and transparency. we are going to see strict measures. what do you make of what has been announced ? what do you make of what has been announced? good morning. it is a huge step. it is great to have this and tried with an agreement at the international level. and i think it shines a light onto the purpose of controlling international trade of

endangered species it also shines a light on some of these aspects where everybody would agree elephants are fabulous creatures and now we're talking about them in terms of trade and monetisation and i think it is important to have this but we need to move the conversation to ensure those animals in the wild are protect that and given the full right they deserve. the convention on international trade and endangered species also talked about sharks. what is the significant of what they had to say? there has been a lot of news coverage around feeling, taking shark fins for food markets. —— a lot of this is unregulated and some of the sharks included, those species spanning the

oceans, cover a huge areas of international waters which are unregulated. any carriage that is landed by a signatory, 183 countries have signed up to it, they have to then declare it, they have to monitor the catch and login and that is given the ability to really get a better handle on what is going on.” thought on enforcement. it is important to have an agreement. how do you make sure the principles are adhered to? when membersjoin up they have to adhere to the rules of procedure and it is largely enforcement within the country so thatis enforcement within the country so that is under strict control and parties have been called to task and have been classified as countries of

concern. the obvious question to thatisif concern. the obvious question to that is if people are not a member, then what? more countries are signed up. those that are not included north korea and haiti and they are by and large excluded from international treaties anyway. in the case where our country who is a memberdoing a the case where our country who is a member doing a trade with a nonmember, there is a stipulation that the nonmember has things in place that operate at the same standards. the right some checks and balances. thank you very much.

if you're ever frustrated by your internet connection, then let's take you to one of the most beautiful and remote corners of the uk, where they've now got the best broadband speed you can possible have. our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones is there. he is in the outer hebrides. good morning, iam he is in the outer hebrides. good morning, i am on grimsay, a tiny rocky place. let's give you a look at it. about 100 households across the island, incredibly beautiful. quite damp for the last 24 hours. ca role quite damp for the last 24 hours. carole was a right to want me but i already knew that. the weather has been around for quite a while. what is important about being here this morning is that they have got full

fibre broadband. a cable laid under the sea and piped into every home. we will give you a little glimpse. we will give you a little glimpse. we are using that cable. there is out top team, to broadcast here. the signal is coming down that cable. it is exactly the fast fibre connection you really want and everyone is supposed to get by 2025. we will have far more on this later. but for now the news and travel and whether where you. good morning from bbc london. i'm tarah welsh. nearly a million pounds has been spent maintaining a closed prison in reading over the last three years. a freedom of information request revealed the amount spent on the listed building which closed in 2013. the ministry ofjustice says that security and maintenance costs at the prison have been reduced. it's due to be put on the market

but campaigners want it converted into an arts venue. i understand why it has always been very difficult for them to market because it is of such archaeological importance and the ministry of justice deals in justice, they do not deal in, "gee, what do we do with an awkward heritage site?" so it has been difficult for them to sort out exactly what they want to do with it. it is a tragedy that it has cost that much money. a shopping centre in north east london which was badly damaged in a fire will reopen next week. more than half the roof was destroyed at the mall in walthamstow injuly. most shops on the ground floor will be up and running again from next wednesday. the cause of the fire is still unknown. a survey of bus drivers found that one in five has reported tiredness more than once a week while working. transport bosses say they're taking "tough measures" to tackle the problem. transport for london has carried out a report, which includes calls on garages to introduce more training and funding for new

technology that could help. let's take a look at the travel situation now... there's a good service on all tube lines. great northern services have no trains running between moorgate and finsbury park. trains are starting and terminating at king's cross instead. and some stansted express services are cancelled between sta nsted airport and liverpool street. two lanes are closed westbound on marylebone road at the junction with york gate, due to water mains work. two lanes closed due to faulty traffic rights in earls court. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. we are in for a bit of a change today. the temperature is going to feel much cooler. we've got lots of cloud and some

outbreaks of rain as well. so we are waking up to quite a grey start this morning. a warm start however. we had quite a muggy night. the rain will clear away eastwards. some breaks in the cloud through the middle part of the day, ahead of the cold front which will start to move in, bringing more cloud towards the end of the afternoon and into the evening. the temperature today, 24, 25 celsius — does not look too bad but compared to yesterday, where we had 33 celsius, it is going to feel much cooler. overnight, this cold front sweeps through, just outbreaks of light rain for us as that cloud starts to move away eastwards, it should have disappear by dawn as well, leading to a bright start for thursday. still quite a warm night — 12—15 celsius, the minimum, but things are set to get fresher as we had further through the week. plenty of dry weather in the forecast. perhaps a little bit of rain perhaps overnight saturday, into sunday. but temperatures, compared to the last few days, are going to feel much fresher. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin.

here is a summary of this morning ‘s main stories from bbc news. a woman who said she was a victim of the convert did us paedophilejeffrey epstein and was forced into a sexual encounter with the duke of york has urged the prince to come clean about what he knows. she spoke to reporters outside a court in new york. it was after for alleged victims who took his own life in prison earlier this month to prince andrew denies the claims made against him. sajid javid has put forward an announcement on government spending priorities next week fuelling speculation the ground has been prepared for a possible general election. schools and police and health are expected to receive a funding boost. it is suggested that education could be in for a £4 billion windfall and sajid javid says any department expecting a

blank check will be disappointed. the family of a couple who died along with their baby when their light aircraft came down in the alps has spoken of their devastation. jonathan goldstein was an award—winning composer, his wife hannah was an acclaimed musician who performed a solo at the bbc proms. their plane took off from western switzerland on sunday morning but crashed near to the italian border. their seven—month—old daughter saskia was also on board. their family said they loved them all very much, and will miss them terribly. a 16—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder, after the body of a teaching assistant was found in a graveyard. lindsay birbeck, 47, was found at accrington cemetery on saturday. a post—mortem examination found she'd been strangled. the teenager is being held in custody. a government advert telling eu citizens what they need to do good news for red wine lovers — it could be healthy for your stomach, according to british researchers. the team from king's college london found that micronutrients in red wine could increase the healthy mix of bacteria in the gut, and just one glass a fortnight was enough to make a difference.

but that's not an excuse to binge, the study says. a government advert telling eu citizens what they need to do to stay in the uk after brexit has been banned, after the advertising standards authority ruled it was misleading. in the radio advert which aired in april, listeners were told they only needed their passport or id card, and to complete an online form in order to apply. but many applicants were required to submit further documents. the home office says it completely disagrees with the decision. sales of takeaway across the uk have increased the quarter recording to new figures. the average household spends over 30 pounder months on ta keaway spends over 30 pounder months on takeaway is. there has been a spoken popularity of meat free and vegan options. let's ta ke let's take a look at the sport

. there was a 5pm deadline yesterday afternoon for bury football club in late last night, the worst news for the club. they have been expelled from the football league. staley is at the stadium for us this morning and fans have been quite upset, haven't they? yes. this is what i want to show you. this is the fans, basically. story of the fans because that is what last night was about. we are joined by three of them now. simon, peter and anthony. they are bury supporters and have been involved from the start. can you tell me what the last 24—hour ‘s have been like for you? turmoil. there is a lot of shock. we went from expecting the clu b to shock. we went from expecting the club to possibly be gone on friday to getting some hope of a potential ta keover to getting some hope of a potential takeover and hearing that that had gone. so there was despair and then

hearing that there were three or four bids that the league was looking out. there was hope again. expectation that we would at least get another day or two because the next game is not until saturday and the league has no problems cancelling things at short notice. there is a game last night that was abandoned at half—time. the league can deal with these things. and when it isa can deal with these things. and when it is a club that is 134 years old and been a member of the league for 125 years, you would hope that it would be a bit more supportive and it does not feel like there has been a lot of supported times in terms of vetting who has been in charge. peter, how angry are you about what has happened to your club? peter, how angry are you about what has happened to your club7m peter, how angry are you about what has happened to your club? it has not sunk in, really. it has been going on for six weeks, this. it is notjust 24 hours. there have been deadlines and extensions and things popping up deadlines and extensions and things popping up behind the scenes. it is just a hard pill to swallow.

something that has been in my life for 38 years but in some lives for 70 years, you know? it isjust heartbreaking. it has not really sunk in, i think. anthony, we say that this problem has been going on for several weeks and you could probably trace it back many months ago, couldn't you? it goes back to the previous owner. we needed £1 million to save the club and they helped us out. some people question whether money was from but i was wanting to believe what he was trying to sell us. but then we got money problems and it started to add up money problems and it started to add up and then when it finally came to a head and the club had to be sold, steve dale came in and we had the same thing. we wanted to be optimistic and believe that we would be ok and it has come to a head. optimistic and believe that we would be ok and it has come to a headm is upsetting. really upsetting. thank you very much for your time and best of luck for the rest of the

day. elsewhere this morning, not great news from the tennis. elsewhere this morning, kyle edmund has been knocked out of the first round of the us open for the second year in a row. it was a really topsy turvy match for the british number one against spain's pablo andujar in new york — and he took it to a final set having trailed by two set to one. but edmund's game completely left him in the fifth set which he lost pretty quickly. rafael nadal is through to the second round. he's the second seed and made short work of the australianjohn millman, who he beat in straight sets at flushing meadows. slightly more tricky for the defending women's champion naomi osaka. she had a really tough battle with the 20—year—old russian anna blinkova. osaka was taken to three sets before eventually making it through to second round. there were a couple of shocks in the efl cup last night. two premier league sides beaten by lower league opposition. norwich lost to crawley town, and crystal palace were beaten on penalties by colchester united. all the other premier league clubs survived, including west ham who beat newport county 2—0, a score which included a first hammers goal forjack wilshere.

one other line of football news, it looks like alexis sanchez has finally found a way out of manchester united. they've agreed a deal for him to join the italian side inter milan on a season—long loan. and that is it from us here at gigg lane. will bring you the latest bury the bolton wanderers i want to show you where we are. you can see these messages. i will not go into close on some of them because some of them are probably not breakfast reading but you can tell the sense of frustration and the anger of the fans in the sense of loss. they feel like they have lost the club. all the tributes being left here over the last few days. many more fans are expected to gather here today did the staff are arriving and are desperately sad. was of the groundsman come in and open up and, honestly, his face would have broken your heart. it was so sad to see. thank you, sally. we will be back with you later.

up to a million people will be living with the symptoms of dementia by 2021 — that's according to research by the alzheimer's society, which is calling for more to be done to support those with the condition. it's a cause which has been highlighted by dame barbara windsor, following her own diagnosis five years ago. we can speak now to her husband scott, who together with barbara, was recently named as an ambassador for the charity. thank you so much forjoining us. i know today you will be delivering a letter to downing street but before we talk about that, tell us a little bit about dame barbara did a how is she at the moment? as i've said before, there are good days and bad days and good moments, bad moments. i think it is important to know about the nature, without simon's and with dementia is that barbara will be quite lucid at times and we will be quite lucid at times and we will have great conversations and she will take everything in. that does not mean to say that five minutes later she will not turn around to me and asked when we are going home when we're sitting in the

house, she does repeatedly now, night after night did it she asks how did we get here or where is her house. that is what people deal with when they deal with someone living with dementia. it can be distressing for the person themselves and for the families that are caring for them. it really takes a lot out of you and this is why the social care situation is so important to us. if ican situation is so important to us. if i canjust situation is so important to us. if i can just say, situation is so important to us. if i canjust say, i spoke situation is so important to us. if i can just say, i spoke to situation is so important to us. if i canjust say, i spoke to barbara first about this last year when we went public with the news. and the thing that struck me was that i tried to do it all by myself at first and i held on until the end before i had carers in. and i realised what a relief that was, just to have that bit of respite. i still look after barbara from five in the evening, every evening, till ten minutes before —— till ten in the morning when the carers come. and what we have to understand is

that i understand we are fortunate. we have the resources to pay for private carers to come in. my first thought was, back then, and i mentioned this to the alzheimer's society, cannot imagine what it is like when you do not have access to care. this is what we are looking at. this is what we are asking the government to do, to make it fair where people with dementia are concerned, because i'm not sure if you know but people with dementia will pay up to 15% higher for average social care than anyone with any other illness. and surely that cannot be fair. and i have been speaking to people, i have been meeting people and it is really frightening, what is happening, of how people ‘s savings are going, they sell their houses, their parent houses need to be sold. and surely, you know, we must do something about

this. you make, a lot of different points there. notjust the this. you make, a lot of different points there. not just the financial impactand points there. not just the financial impact and you have alluded to it yourself, from what you described to me it isjust yourself, from what you described to me it is just the relentless nature of it as well. so many people watching this morning will understand that. how do you cope?m is very difficult and i think it is u nfortu nately is very difficult and i think it is unfortunately only people who will either live through it with a loved one who may no longer be here or someone who was going through it who truly understand. it has a devastating effect on the whole home. it is notjust the person living with it. how do i deal with it personally? i smile. every time barbara asks me the same thing i try as much as i can to smile because what you must understand is that in her mind, that is the first time she has asked me. it is possibly about the 12th time in the space of an

hour or so the 12th time in the space of an hourorso andi the 12th time in the space of an hour or so and i give her the same answer, a slight variation, each time. and it is very frustrating. it is hard to deal with but at the same time, you know, they cannot help it. this is a very cruel disease for people to go through. and we should not be seeing people panelized for having this. any other illness that you would have, there is more care in place. there is more support. but for some reason, dementia seems to be the poor relative and as you said earlier, by 2021 there will be 1 million people living with it. one in three people born today will develop dementia so we are looking at generations ahead here.” develop dementia so we are looking at generations ahead here. i know that obviously it was a joint decision to talk about it. how much support have you had? was that something that dame barbara wanted to do as well? absolutely. when we went public with that we kept

acquired forfour years went public with that we kept acquired for four years and it was something the barbara did not like to talk about. i understand that and it is quite a common thing. people just don't want to talk about it and who would? nor would i. just don't want to talk about it and who would? norwould i. but just don't want to talk about it and who would? nor would i. but it got to the stage where i had to talk about it and i spoke to barbara and said, look, we need to be able to go out. and that is an important thing as well. we must not think of people living with alzheimer's and dementia people who should be shut away. we need to go out and understand what it is. yes they may get confused sometimes, yes their behaviour may suddenly go a bit offkilter. but u nfortu nately suddenly go a bit offkilter. but unfortunately that is the nature of it. the barbara is more than aware of the fixed dementia campaign. i talk to her the whole time. that does not mean to say she will remember it. i have to constantly go over this, what we do, but when i tell her and when i told her first of all, her reaction was that of what it had always been, compassion

for other people. when i said, barbara, people have to sell their family homes in order to pay for ca re family homes in order to pay for care for theirfamilies. family homes in order to pay for care for their families. it upset her so much and she said scott, this is terrible. something has to be done. and we know that generally there is a big social care problem and we know that it cannot be fixed overnight. i you talk about good days and bad days. are you hoping she will be able to go to downing street today? fingers crossed. it is not today, it is actually monday the second. fingers crossed, barbara is going to be there and as i said to everyone, i look at it on another day. if barbara wakes up and for whatever reason she seems a bit distressed or not quite herself, no, she will not be there. i do not we'll barbara

what may. the/ take her out. but knowing barbara, she will pull herself together and she loves seeing people. she goes back into that old mode, the actress mode, i have to be barbara now and that can be very healthy for her. it has been great to hear your compassion. before we go, please, would everyone sign this letter. if they go to the website, scroll down and it says sign our letter. it will take you to minutes and cost you nothing. thank you very much. i should say that the department of health gave us a statement. recognised dementia as a major health and care challenge of our time and was working to improve care and support. a very moving and personal account.

anyone who has had to deal with that conditions or remembers of the family. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. it is going to be much cooler today compared to yesterday. his throat today likely to be 24. from today and the next few days, it will feel cooler and also wetter and windier for many but there is still some sunshine into the fog us. you can see into the radar and lightning picture how much lightning we head through last night and it is now moving towards shetland with two bands of a lane moving steadily eastwards through the course of today. this is how we start. the first will take the rain away from the south—east, the second one through north—west england and wales moves through the midlands. this will have showers moving across scotland. the first producing cloud

and rain in areas. thunderstorms in shetland. it will brighten up behind it. in the afternoon, producing showers on either side sunny skies. in northern ireland, showers but in between dry weather and that will continue into the afternoon. northern england and wales drying up. the south—east seeing the highest temperatures and also the sunshine for the longest. as we head through the evening and overnight, the weather front end of the midlands pushes it down as a weak feature introducing clouds, patchy light rain. clear skies behind but then more cloud building from the west ahead of the next system introducing rain overnight in the outer hebrides and on the edges of northern ireland. it will be cold

for you in this area. a lot of dry weather and sunshine before this weather and sunshine before this weather front comes in from the west. the rain will be fairly showery across scotland, northern ireland and northern england. south of that, a lot of dry weather. at times it will be bright rather than sunny. highs of up to 24. by friday, we start off on a sunny note once again. rain from the west, northern ireland and scotland and getting into northern england. we could see some splashes across wales as well. and we're back into the dry conditions. if you're looking for rain, it will come your way. thursday and friday, winding, especially across the north—west and saturday the wind changes direction to more of a north—westerly which is a fresher direction and here is the

weather front again making slow progress towards the south—east. the far south—east staying drying during much of saturday, the rain does not arrive till later, behind it brightens up. feeling fresher. thank you. today is the final countdown for ppi. we have been talking about it for actually years and there are thousands of people who have not claimed it. it started in the 1970s. who have not claimed it. it started in the 19705. 2011 who have not claimed it. it started in the 1970s. 2011 when people started getting money back for it. good morning. we've all heard about the mis—selling of payment protection insurance, most of us have had one of those calls or texts from companies promising to get you a refund and the banks have paid out billions. the deadline has been set to

tomorrow night. this is what the authority have to say on it. the deadline is absolute so one minute to midnight on the 29th of august is the last possible opportunity to get your complaint. we do not need paperwork to get your complaint started, all you need is your name, date of birth and address. if you have a policy number or any other information that is useful to get your complaint sorted but you do not need your paperwork and you must get your complaint need your paperwork and you must get yourcomplaint in by need your paperwork and you must get your complaint in by the 29th of august because that deadline is a ha rd august because that deadline is a hard deadline. lots of people still expecting to complain. you and i have been going on about this for quite a few years... i wrote my first guide in 2005 before the regulator intervened into 2011. this has been going on a really long

time. finally we have this deadline. isn't as easy to do? at this point, a few things that you have to do. the first thing, impractical reality consider today the deadline. website crash, phone lines get clogged up, some small companies will not be receiving in time. this is a clarion call to anyone watching if you have had ana call to anyone watching if you have had an a credit card, loan, and you have not had ppi back check today because a typical pay—out is £3000. if you go by phone or branch it is earlier and they have changed what cou nts earlier and they have changed what counts are starting the claim. once you start, there is no limit. in most cases, just inquiring, did i have ppi?

most cases, just inquiring, did i have ppi ? counts most cases, just inquiring, did i have ppi? counts as a claim. there isa have ppi? counts as a claim. there is a free tool on my website which has great information. the regulator has great information. the regulator has a helpline. but you have to get a move on. if you are at home during the day do this now, if you are working, do this tonight. this is a huge money. £240,000 was the biggest claim. do not leave it. get it done. if you cannot remember who you might have got these financial products from what do you do? you can get your credit found for free on line by various methods. it will list what your active lenders are in the ten six years. that should help. the truth is, if you do not have the paperwork in most cases you are stuck but it is absolutely worth the work here. if you have been putting

it off or you are not sure it is you, go check. one of the ways it was ms salt is they added it when you said, no. i cannot be clearer. i have been shutting it from the rooftops. we have had a few people who have said that they have tried to claim and it got rejected. is it worth having another go? the most important thing if you are rejecting is you go to the ombudsman, an independent, adjudicator. it is part of the dance. we have seen in the past 80% uphold from the ombudsman for people who have been turned down. if you believe you were mrs holt, go for it. if you have a deceased relative, you can reclaim on their behalf as well. ——

miss—sold. this has been going on for so long. ifirst miss—sold. this has been going on for so long. i first wrote my first warning about ppi into thousand one. many people who have passed away would not have reclaimed the pp! banks had took from them in a systemic scamp which is sent £36 million already paid back with no—one prosecuted for fraud. million already paid back with no—one prosecuted forfraud. —— scam. my mum is favourite, martin lewis. she is always ringing me going, martin lewis said this... the deadline tomorrowjust before midnight. if you crack on with it now, it is better. later we are looking at a documentary called untouchable. the

rise and fall of harvey weinstein, once the most powerful man in hollywood. now the news, travel, and weather where you. we will see you at eight. good morning from bbc london. i'm tarah welsh. two i'm tarah welsh. women were stabbed and threatened two women were stabbed and threatened in greenwich. a man was tasered and arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. none of the injuries are thought to be life—threatening and the victims and suspect are suspected to be known to each other. nearly a million pounds has been spent maintaining an empty prison in reading over the last three years. the building closed in 2013. the ministry ofjustice says costs have been reduced and it's due to be put on the market. but campaigners want it converted into an arts venue. i understand why it has always been very difficult for them to market

because it is of such archaeological importance and the ministry of justice deals in justice, they do not deal in, "gee, what do we do with an awkward heritage site?" so it has been difficult for them to sort out exactly what they want to do with it. it is a tragedy that it has cost that much money. a shopping centre in north east london which was badly damaged in a fire will reopen next week. more than half the roof was destroyed at the mall in walthamstow injuly. most shops on the ground floor will be up and running again from next wednesday. the cause of the fire is still unknown. let's take a look at the travel situation now... there's a good service on all tube lines. great northern services have no trains running between moorgate and finsbury park. trains are starting and terminating at kings cross instead. and some stansted express services are cancelled between sta nsted airport and liverpool street. two lanes are closed westbound on marylebone road at the junction with york gate, due to water mains work.

in earls court, two lanes are closed in both directions on the a4 west cromwell road, at the junction with warwick road due to faulty traffic lights. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. we are in for a bit of a change today. the temperature is going to feel much cooler. we've got lots of cloud and some outbreaks of rain as well. so we are waking up to quite a grey start this morning. a warm start however. we had quite a muggy night. the rain will clear away eastwards. some breaks in the cloud through the middle part of the day, ahead of the cold front which will start to move in, bringing more cloud towards the end of the afternoon and into the evening. the temperature today, 24, 25 celsius — does not look too bad but compared to yesterday, where we had 33 celsius, it is going to feel much cooler. overnight, this cold front sweeps through, just outbreaks of light rain for us as that cloud starts to move away eastwards, it should have disappear by dawn as well, leading to a bright start for thursday.

still quite a warm night — 12—15 celsius, the minimum, but things are set to get fresher as we had further through the week. plenty of dry weather in the forecast. perhaps a little bit of rain perhaps overnight saturday, into sunday. but temperatures, compared to the last few days, are going to feel much fresher. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and louise minchin. our headlines today... prince andrew is challenged by one ofjeffrey epstein's alleged victims to explain his connections to the american billionaire. he knows exactly what he's done. and i hope he comes clean about it. thank you. one of england's oldest football clubs, bury, is expelled from the league, after more than 130 years. there were tears from the fans at gig lane last night, but it might not be the last club to go. could bolton wanderers be next? more money for schools, the nhs and police — the chancellor's promises lead to speculation of an imminent general election. the final countdown for ppi. tomorrow is the deadline to get your claim in for payment protection insurance. thousands of people could still be owed money. i'll have the details.

yesterday we hit 33.4 celsius asked heathrow. today is going to be much cooler. in fact, for the next few days it will be cooler, wetter and windier. still some sun trying to look forward to. i'll tell you where in15 look forward to. i'll tell you where in 15 minutes. it's wednesday the 28th of august. our top story... a woman who says she was a victim of the convicted us paedophile jeffrey epstein, and was forced into a sexual encounter with the duke of york, has urged the prince to come clean about what he knows. virginia roberts giuffre spoke to reporters outside a court in new york. it was after a hearing for alleged victims of epstein, who took his own life in prison earlier this month. prince andrew has strenuously denied the claims made against him. our north america correspondent chris buckler was in court. jeffrey epstein's victims never had the chance to face him in court, but at a hearing in new york, they were given the opportunity to tell how he abused and exploited them, and they did

so in graphic detail. before i knew what was happening, he grabbed onto my wrist and tugged me towards the bed. i tried to pull away, but he was unbuttoning my shorts and pulling my body onto his already naked body faster than i could think. i was searching for words but all i could say was a meek, "no, please, stop". inside court, many of the women asked for their real names not to be used but they became emotional and some broke down in tears as they talked about the crimes that they suffered at the hands ofjeffrey epstein. they talked about being abused, exploited and manipulated by a man who they described as a complex villain. the disgraced financier‘s death inside a prison cell has led to many questions and in court, epstein's lawyers claimed the injuries he suffered were more consistent with an assault than a suicide. whether it was a suicide or murder does not end the case, does not end their fight forjustice. it does not end their feeling that they were manipulated and victimised.

epstein had many famous and influentialfriends, including donald trump and the duke of york. prince andrew has categorically denied allegations he had sex with a teenager exploited by epstein. virginia roberts giuffre, who made those accusations against the prince, was among those at court. he knows exactly what he has done and i hope he comes clean about it. jeffrey epstein may be dead but his victims are determined to ensure that the questions about his crimes continue to be asked. chris buckler, bbc news, new york. bury football club, which was formed 134 years ago, has been expelled from the football league, after a last—ditch takeover bid collapsed. they had until 5pm yesterday to complete a deal, sally is at the club's ground this morning. sally, i know a lot of people have

been arriving there. this is the day they all dread it, really? absolutely, this is the day they dreaded. it has been a terrible, terrible time for the fans. as you can see, we are inundated with people wanting to talk to us the whole time. this is dave gifford, the chair of the for ever bury fc supporters trust. it's been a very difficult 24 hours? it's been a difficult 24 hours? it's been a difficult four months. we thought we got over the hump on friday when we finally got a buyer accepted. everything looked rosy. but it fell apart at the last minute. the annoying thing is, there were three more buyers there, and the league wanted exclusivity on the one deal. so we threw that on the table last night. there was proof of funds. why they couldn't give us more time to get it over the line, we don't know.

are you expecting to hear anything from them today? no, they made their decision. whether we have a right of appeal, i don't know. we've got a meeting this morning to look at the next move, what we want to do. what we would like to do is to try to save the football club. if we have to restart as a phoenix club, we would like to get hold of this ground. we got the support of this council. thankfully, nobody can build on this. if they try it, if it comes into planning to put some buildings on here, the agreement as they will have to build a new stadium. that is the thing, u nfortu nately stadium. that is the thing, unfortunately this is what everybody has been talking about, the real estate. it is and it isn't. it is because of the rules on it. i have spoken to the council, and this can only be used for building if a new stadium is built. interesting, thank

you very much indeed. one more thing iam going you very much indeed. one more thing i am going to share with you this morning, this is the statement from the executive chair of the english football league. debbiejevons, she says it's one the darkest days in their recent history and that they had worked tirelessly to avoid this outcome. she also says they had to place integrity at the heart of the league and could not support the postponment of any more games. we are expecting to hear a little bit more from her this morning, at about10.30, 11 bit more from her this morning, at about 10.30, 11 o'clock. there might bea about 10.30, 11 o'clock. there might be a further statement. as we have been hearing from the fans, this clu b been hearing from the fans, this club is not over yet. but it is so sad to stand here and see the messages, loads of messages from kids, families, family photos, save bury, sell bury, please save our club, please save bury football club. you can see how much the football clu b club. you can see how much the football club means to the community and to the town.

the chancellor sajid javid has brought forward an announcement on the government's spending priorities to next week, fuelling speculation that the ground is being prepared for a possible general election. health, schools and the police are all expected to receive a funding boost. let's get more from our political correspondent tom barton. tom, could an election be on the way? and who is going to get the money? well, there is nothing like a chancellor promising billions of pounds to suggest that an election might be on the way. the government say no, they are not electioneering. they say they are doing this now so that people can have certainty ahead of brexit. and also so borisjohnson can deliver the pledges that he has made as a new prime minister and a new government. at the decision to bring the spending review forward was certainly unexpected. and sajid javid had been due to make his first big speech as chancellor of the exchequer today. now, that isn't going to happen. labour say that

this shows that panic is setting in. in fact this shows that panic is setting in. infact in this shows that panic is setting in. in fact in the last hour, john macdonald, the shadow chancellor, has tweeted that it is a one—off, pre—election, panic driven stunt. what can we expect sajid javid to say when he stands up in parliament and a wea k‘s say when he stands up in parliament and a weak‘s time and tells government departments how much money they are going to have in the next financial year? well, we are expecting more money for what he describes as the people's priorities, the health service, schools and the police. but he is promising to do that whilst also keeping borrowing under control. that is likely to be a pretty tricky task. thanks very much. meanwhile, a leaked government document appears to confirm that schools in england will receive significantly more money. it's understood that ministers are seeking to end protests by head teachers over funding shortages, as ben ando reports. in march, the parents of millions of schoolchildren were sent a letter from the head teachers warning that without more money,

their schools would face cuts. now the guardian newspaper is reporting that education is set to get an additional £4 billion as part of a raft of measures to close the funding shortfall and improve behaviour and outcomes in the classroom. the cash, it said, will be spent on, among other things, higher salaries for teachers, a new wave of free schools and better funding for children with special educational needs. officials for the department of education told the bbc they do not recognise these figures but they accept that negotiations about school funding are under way. teachers say that what education really needs is long—term financial stability and not what one teacher's leader described as election gimmicks. officials say the details of any new funding package will appear in due course but the clock is ticking for any haggling between the department for education and the treasury

as the new chancellor, sajid javid, is due to make his first round of spending pledges exactly one week from today. the family of a couple who died along with their baby, when their light aircraft came down in the alps, have spoken of their devastation. jonathan goldstein was an award—winning composer, his wife hannah was an acclaimed musician who performed a solo at the bbc proms. their plane took off from western switzerland on sunday morning but crashed near to the italian border. their seven—month—old daughter saskia was also on board. their family said they loved them all very much, and will miss them terribly. three people are believed to have been killed by flash floods that have struck southern japan this morning. a number of rivers burst their banks after torrential rains hit the island of kyush. the authorities have issued a level five warning and have advised more than 800,000 people to move from their homes. good news for red wine lovers — it could be healthy for your stomach, according

to british researchers. the team from king's college london found that micronutrients in red wine could increase the healthy mix of bacteria in the gut, and just one glass a fortnight was enough to make a difference. but that's not an excuse to binge, the study says. there's less than 48 hours before the final deadline to make a pp! claim. payment proctection insurance was added to finance products like credit cards, store cards and loans — but it was often mis—sold. £36 billion has been paid out in compensation since 2011. the financial conduct authority says one minute to midnight on thursday is the last opportunity to make a claim. 8.12. let's take you back to the main story. a woman who accused the us tycoon jeffrey epstein of sex abuse, and alleged that she was forced to have sex with prince andrew when she was 17, has urged the duke to "come clean".

virginia roberts giuffre has spoken to reporters after a hearing for alleged victims of epstein, who took his own life while awaiting trial for sex trafficking. prince andrew denies all accusations of sexual misconduct. let's talk now to our royal correspondent, jonny diamond. he is at buckingham palace this morning. so, it's important to set out the context of what was happening in new york. there were state m e nts happening in new york. there were statements made in court by those who alleged they were the victims of epstein. subsequent to that, one of the people was asked questions by reporters outside? that's right, it was the end of the case against epstein, because he took his own life to back ago. instead ofjust closing the case, the judge said he wa nted closing the case, the judge said he wanted to hear from alleged victims of epstein. as you say, they spoke in court, very, very movingly about what they said he had done to them. and then outside court, virginia

roberts giuffre, who was known as virginia roberts back in the day that prince andrew knew her. she said essentially, come clean, he knows what he has done. that's what she said to the waiting media, who then reported it. prince andrew has a lwa ys then reported it. prince andrew has always denied he had any kind of sexual relationship or contact with virginia roberts. there was a photo of prince andrew with miss roberts, with his arm around her bare waist, she was wearing a crop top. that was from 2001. virginia roberts has previously claimed that prince andrew had six with her, and those claims were struck from the court, thejudge in the us case said claims were struck from the court, the judge in the us case said the claims were immaterial and impertinent. so, all of this has been going on. the denials keep coming from buckingham palace. virginia roberts giuffre has reopened the issue with her statement outside court in new york

yesterday. at the palace remains absolutely firm, there was no sexual relationship or contact and these are simply allegations with no basis in fact. jonny, just remind us, you mentioned the statements that were made by the palace and prince andrew in connection with what had been said up until now. just remind us a little of the detail that they went through at that point. well, he went into fairly extraordinary detail, in a fairly complicated statement that heissued a fairly complicated statement that he issued in his own name on saturday. that is pretty rare. most state m e nts saturday. that is pretty rare. most statements just come from the palace. this one was signed, or at least it had the word andrew at the end of it. he said he acknowledged that he had made an error and a mistake in maintaining his relationship with jeffrey mistake in maintaining his relationship withjeffrey epstein after epstein was convicted for child six offences in 2008, that is because prince andrew was

photographed and then videoed inside mr epstein's house, and that video came out about ten days ago. he said he made a mistake, he denied any kind of relationship, and he said he didn't condone or encourage any exploitation of people and he was horrified by it. what is not in the statement is any kind of explanation as to what he was doing inside mr epstein's house. we still don't really know what the relationship was between prince andrew and virginia roberts, it was a pretty close one from the one thing that we do know, that photograph of prince andrew with his arm around her waist in 2001. thank you very much, jonny dymond, from buckingham palace. now, i heard carol mentioning in the headlines that there was some sunshine around for some people. that's right, there are some sunshine in the forecast, but one thing you will notice, particularly in the south—east, is that it is

cooler. for the next few days it will be cooler, wetter and windier, with some of that sunshine that we we re with some of that sunshine that we were talking about. you can also see the number of thunderstorms we had last night, and also the rain. rain currently pushing across the south—east. we will see some of those thundery outbreaks across parts of shetland, for example, and then we have this next band coming in from the west. that is courtesy of the fronts, the first one taking the rain from the south—east, the second taking it away from north—west, wales, and the third one enhancing the showers across scotland. so, there goes the first band of rain. it will dry up and brighten up. here comes the second one, pushing into the midlands, down towards the south. behind that, brighter conditions, but still showers. showers continuing to move west to east across scotland. some showers across northern ireland. in between them, there will be some sunshine. some bright skies were sunny spells across northern england, wales and into the south—west later as this where the

front is producing the rain and continues. this could produce in heavy rain, quite persistent rain as well. under it, it will feel quite cool well. under it, it will feel quite cool. top temperatures today, 24 degrees in london. yesterday at heathrow, 33.4. behind the weather front, we are looking at between 15 and 20. now, through this evening and 20. now, through this evening and overnight, as the system pushes down to the south—east, it will weaken. it's going to be a band of cloud, spots of rain, i'm behind it clearer skies. this next system comes in from the west, introducing rain into the outer hebrides, argyll and bute, and northern ireland by the end of the night. in aberdeenshire, the temperature could fall to five or 6 degrees. a lot of dry weather with some sunshine to start the day tomorrow. this weather system coming in across northern ireland and scotland. that will continue to edge eastwards, turning more showery as it crosses scotland and northern ireland and we will see

and northern ireland and we will see a view showers in northern england. south of that, mostly dry, high is once again 24 degrees. tomorrow, across the northern half of the country, particularly the north—west, you will notice it will be windy with exposure, gusts between 40 and 50 mph. as we head into friday, once more we start off with a lot of dry weather across england and wales. this weather front is coming in across scotland and northern ireland, producing rain and northern ireland, producing rain and will slowly slip southwards through the day, get into northern england. some of that rain will be heavy and persistent, and behind it it starts to brighten up. ahead of it, we hang on to the sunshine with highs between 21 and 24. the wind changes direction tomorrow to a north—westerly on saturday, a fresher direction. we still have this rain, scotland, wales, the south—west, eventually getting into the midlands. ahead of that we hang

onto the sunshine. behind it, the sun will come out with a view showers, feeling fresher and a north—westerly with highs in stornaway 13 degrees. it is tipping down. would you say that? i would say it is tipping down, yes, good description. she said it in slightly more technical terms. thank you. you might remember yesterday we spoke to the young people representing the uk at the world skills event taking place in russia. steph's here with an update on how they did. we have the medal results. just to remind you, world skills is basically an international competition where people under 25 will compete in various different skills. 56 skills in total. anything you can do vocational training in, plumbing, plastering, tiling, refrigeration, aircraft maintenance, health and social care, restaurant services, cooking. it is done on a massive stadium. this year it was in

russia. every turn years. a lot of money spent on it by the host country, that is the closing ceremony last night. we have one of the medal winners, that is hayden jakes, 23 and from cambridge. he got a gold in aircraft maintenance. we have rebecca west as well. 22 and from lose, she got a golden —— gold in beauty therapy. we got a silver in car painting. and then phoebe mcla rty in car painting. and then phoebe mclarty got a bronze in hairdressing. it was a huge event. you can see vladimir putin was there, he put his hand in his pocket to make sure they put on a big show. russia did very well in the competition as well, he invests quite a lot of money into these skills. we are unofficially awarding another gold medal this morning for best reaction to getting a gold medal? hayden, you've got to see this. he got a gold in aircraft

maintenance. he ended up going into that because his mum was an air hostess a nd that because his mum was an air hostess and used to show him the instruction manuals of the planes, and from that he got a love of it. he has been training for years to get into team uk, because they do lots of regionals, finals, and then they are classed as the best in the country, and then they go to compete in world skills. here he is.” country, and then they go to compete in world skills. here he is. i can't believe it... to mark their years of training... —— two years of training... —— two years of training. ican't training... —— two years of training. i can't believe it. you can see how much it means for him, he has been working so hard. he is only 23 and he has been deemed the best in the world. huge congratulations. we need people like that. 15 medallions of excellence as well, a lot of people deemed world —class well, a lot of people deemed world—class for their skills. it really well done. this story is not unconnected to the business side of it, you talk about how the internet

can change how businesses run? connectivity makes a big difference. what happens if you are in the outer hebrides? it got better. here is rory cellan—jones. describe where you are. i wanted you to see that shot, is the first time in 24 hours that we have seen any kind of sunlight. it has been very damp here. incredibly beautiful place, of course. we are very here. incredibly beautiful place, of course. we are very remote. it is an eight hour drive from grimsay to get to glasgow. so, they have not got good transport connectivity. they area good transport connectivity. they are a long way from anywhere. they have now got brilliant fibre broadband. it has come under the sea, it has come to every home, every home on the island, a fibre cable right into the home. the best possible broadband you can have. it is what borisjohnson has promised us all by 2025, only 7% of the country can get this at the moment. this is one of those places. they are already saying it is making a

huge difference to their lives on this tiny island. i've been talking to them about what life was like before fibre. we have airbnb guests in the house and were not able to give them access to the internet. really slow to download. it was often buffering if we tried to stream. six e—mails would probably take the best part of half—an—hour to download. we couldn't work from home. the connection lost. it was difficult. it was embarrassing. it's quite a journey to reach one of the uk's remote communities. first you land at benbecula, then you drive across a causeway to the rocky island of grimsay, home to just 100 households which now have state—of—the—art broadband connections. like many people here, robin spratt has a number of strings to his bow. a candle—making business and bed and breakfast, but he used to have to tell guests that they couldn't use his expensive

satellite broadband. with fibre coming in, it's just changed that completely. now we'll give our guests access to the internet straightaway and not only that, we can proudly tell them we've got fibre and it's fast and all the rest of it. it's made a huge difference. the uist wool mill, a community entrerprise, run on some victorian machinary, but they believes 21st century connectivity will transform not just their business but the economy of the islands. being able to work online and at a distance is usually important. it means that you can live where you want to live, but still work a city—style job. yeah, it makes a a great difference to rural economies i think. this beautiful and incredibly remote place has got the best broadband you can possibly have but it's come at a big cost in public money. now borisjohnson says he wants everybody across the uk to have this by 2025. so how's that going to add up? this is the manhole where you've got

the full fibre coming into the manhole... the man in charge of delivering fibre across the uk told me less tax and fewer rules would be needed to hit the target. we're talking to government right now about creating the conditions for improved investment and to make itjust simpler. the prime minister is highly ambitious and so are we, and we applaud that ambition. clearly, the pace of build to reach that is probably bigger than any other country's ever done. it means that we can work from home, we can download any time. now we can send six e—mails in a couple of seconds. it has given us new opportunities both personally wonderful to see that. it looks like it will make a big difference. timothy spall is here shortly. fair to say he is treasure territory. if you see him in a film or tv, you

think, yes. the latest film is about lowry. now the news, travel and weather where you are. yesterday, temperatures reached 33 degrees across eastern england but todayis degrees across eastern england but today is going to be a much cooler and fresher day, and claudia. you can see the extent of the cloud on the satellite, this is rain bearing clouds so rain at times best sums up the forecast. the initial band of rain will clear eastern england pretty quickly but the next one coming through, across western parts of england and wales and reaching up into the perhaps southern scotland. the rain will clear from into the perhaps southern scotland. the rain will clearfrom northern ireland, some sunshine but some showers this afternoon. i fresher appeal across north—western areas but temperatures still reasonable, albeit not as high —— a fresher field. tonight, rain pushes across eastern england and then we will see some showers pushing and later in the night with some lengthy spells

of rain late in the night in northern ireland. tomorrow morning, the band of rain in northern ireland will spread to scotland with strengthening winds. we could get gusts of 40—50 mph. further south across england and wales, much more in the way of sunshine and in the sunshine, temperatures climbing to as high as 23 or 24 across parts of eastern england. we are in the midst ofan eastern england. we are in the midst of an unsettled spell of weather and as we look at the chance for friday, the next area of low pressure will form an race towards the uk, bringing a zone of heavier rain across northern ireland and scotland at times on friday, where it will still be quite windy, 40—50 mph. quite blustery conditions further southwards for wales and west in england but sunshine around and in the sunshine, 24 across eastern england, another fairly one day. further north and west, temperatures 17 or 18 under the rain. through the weekend, the band of rain will push eastwards, the winds go around to a

north—westerly direction and it will turn cooler.

this is business live from bbc news, with ben thompson and ben bland. italy's political crisis rumbles on — with a deadline to form a new governmentjust hours away. live from london, that's our top story on wednesday 28th august. italy is europe's fourth largest economy — but faces an economic slowdown and political paralysis. also in the programme... a former google engineer who moved to uber has been charged with stealing trade secrets related to self—driving cars.
