ability to interrogate the prime with players when it is all going minister and ministers. warnings about the impact of a no—deal brexit well, and everything is rosy, but sometimes, it is equally satisfying or more satisfying sometimes to work have been dismissed as project fear. with players when things are not they are harder to downplay. for quite right. to tennis, and andy murray will play those mps against a no deal three tournaments in as many weeks departure but for the recall of in china. he had already agreed to parliament, these papers provide play in zu this month and then extra ammunition. that is the thing beijing, and he has now accepted a about yellowhammer to day which is wild card for the shanghai masters. he returned to single action last we have to remember that the government has suspended parliament, month, but has yet to win a match on the main tour. speaking of making returns, four—time grand slam champion kim silenced the elected representatives, so that they are not going to be scrutinised in the way they would have been in cloisters has said that she plans to parliament. if parliament had been, come out of retirement after seven as it should be today, still yea rs come out of retirement after seven years away from the game. the 36—year—old retired in 2007 to have sitting. mps, who don't quite go in her first 36—year—old retired in 2007 to have herfirst child at for this type of discipline, forced 36—year—old retired in 2007 to have her first child at the age of 23. she then returned two years later borisjohnson to and when the us open as an unranked for this type of discipline, forced boris johnson to publish for this type of discipline, forced borisjohnson to publish is no deal assessments. could the supreme court player. the belgian then retired for next week for seem to recall a second time in 2012, but says she parliament? the captain of a ship will come back to the wta tour next isn't always in control. year. our political correspondent to golf, and rory michael roy as the helen catt is at westminster. american pga tour‘s golfer of the

2:06 pm
borisjohnson denied in interesting times. you might boris johnson denied that suited to the school run in interesting times. you might borisjohnson denied that but we are than any rough terrain? in that it might not in normal times. there is not usually this gerry mcgovern is an english design discussion about prorogation, the director for land rover, and is the designer behind usual parliamentary process but at this time, in this way, this moment the new defender — hejoins me now. in politics, it has created an entirely different discussion so i think trying tojudge giving a rather rare interview. it entirely different discussion so i think trying to judge things by normal standards is perhaps a little isa giving a rather rare interview. it is a great pleasure to talk to you. you have just launched this futile. meanwhile labour say they is a great pleasure to talk to you. you havejust launched this in frankfurt. what was the reaction? wa nt to futile. meanwhile labour say they want to get the prime minister into the commons to talk about this the reaction was fantastically yellowhammer document. —— this positive. it was probably the most yellowhammer document. the eagerly anticipated launch in the world of a vehicle for a few years. this is a british icon. it is a government has been saying this is a british icon, because it has been reasonable scenario but the reading around for so long. it started in and it is pretty stark. a lot of it 1948. i think everybody has some sort of association with a defender, focusing on will happen on that 20 mile stretch between dover and evenif sort of association with a defender, even if they have owned one or not. calais, and the impact on what it will have on supplies of things like so it is in the psyche of the people of britain, particularly. is that a medicine, fresh food. why that? because three quarters of medicine poisoned chalice, if someone says, comes through the straight and it we need to update this, we need a relies on things moving very new one? quickly. this report, it suggests we looked at it as an advantage, because what we wanted to do was
2:07 pm
that there could be delays of ca ptu re because what we wanted to do was capture the essence of the original between 1.5—2 days at dover. if you in terms of its character, but make have lots of lorries backing up, it absolutely relevant to today, that creates other problems like because remember, the world has changed massively from when the fuel shortages if, for example, you get lorries backing up to the m25 original car was created, and what was acceptable back then in terms of and obstructing the dartford crossing. 0ther and obstructing the dartford crossing. other things as well. away comfort and safety and all those things, those requirements have from trade flow, things like northern ireland. the yellowhammer changed completely. what about the document says this thing of not putting any checks on the border is unsustainable and you could have more criminal activity. the issue of usage? this seems to be more suited to the school run, then on the farm doing the work. government does say that these this vehicle is incredible tough and assumptions are updated frequently and it doesn't tend to publish an capable. it is the toughest, most updated set of assumptions and the capable. it is the toughest, most capable land rover that has ever document setting out what it has been made. and it is a vehicle for been doing to mitigate them. thank you. the number of people investigated for rape who were later convicted of a sexual offence has fallen to its lowest level since records began more than a decade ago. today. we have moved it on, capture the latest figures show the essence, but made it relevant to there were fewer than 2,000
2:08 pm
convictions across england and wales in the year to the end of march — down by more than a quarter today you have made it durable, on the previous year. bringing three seats back into the the number — and proportion — of suspects who were charged has front. for me, that brings the also dropped dramatically. our home affairs correspondent social aspect back. the car is june kelly reports. reconfigurable. you can get it in all different types, get it with all kinds of different accessories, but phone messages and social media have you can get it with the centre seat, become a big part of rape enquiries. which some of the old land rover sad. it is very social. . you can complainants are being asked to hand over their phones as the police search for digital evidence stop a so a huge change in have your teenager there, you can investigations, but there's also have your teenager there, you can have your teenager there, you can been a significant drop have your big dog there. it is part in rape prosecutions. of its charm, its character. if you wa nt of its charm, its character. if you want a consul, you can have one. you get around the technology problem is of not being able to see in the rear ...she she was told the messages could mirror? be misinterpreted by a jury and the man who she learned had a history of violence against women was not you can see outside through cameras, which are placed on the bumpers. prosecuted. learning that decision isa which are placed on the bumpers. is a designer, you look at the back ofa is a designer, you look at the back of a new one, that is absolutely reminiscent of the old. how
2:09 pm
was devastating. how did you feel? important is it to have that sense summer between absolutely broke into of recognising it? it wasn't so much absolutely livid as well. it was, hang ona absolutely livid as well. it was, hang on a minute, you've let him recognising it. although that was out? based on a really weak reason. important. but this thing has to be the most capable all terrain vehicle, and there are certain the latest annual figures for physics in that. you have to have england and wales show that minimum overhangs, and you have to have a high prosecutions now stand at 3034, a drop of nearly one third. convictions are down to 1925. this isa convictions are down to 1925. this is a fall of more than a quarter. you have got these horizontal lines in the waist, the shoulders, even referrals from the police stand at the wheel arches, and then you have this really severe cut off at the back, and at the front. 3375. this figure is down by over one fifth. so, hard evidence that fewer suspects of being brought to that makes the overhang minimum, you court by the crown prosecution can have the spare wheel there to keep this overall length right down. service. campaigners are accusing so if you take it on the farm, or prosecutors of screening out the tougher cases, not true, says the wherever, because you can have this thing and be an explorer, it can do director of public prosecutions. tougher cases, not true, says the director of public prosecutionsm would be quite wrong, wouldn't it, to make a serious decision that impacts on somebody‘s life in that sort of way and we do not. as a

being a businessjournalist, i have looked at the numbers, and the items now, mps are calling for action in this capsule wardrobe, there are on what are called loot boxes, where gamers pay real money only five of them. there is a dress for virtual goods, such as packs of star players in fifa. from marks and spencers which is they want a ban on selling them to children when there under £20, then there is a pair of is an element of chance involved. trousers for 120, a jacket for 200, you have got a shirt for 175. some of the spending a shirt for £175? exactly. so a is also a form of gambling, we believe, in that people, rather than just purchasing items, thought that springs to mind that i are asked to spend some money to gamble that they might then get will talk to our guest about in the a new player for a football game, or some tool for a game moment, in the context of what this that they're playing, charity is all about, is the price like fortnite, which will help point something that could be their play, and we think thought about? so let‘s talk now to that is probably inappropriate that children should be able to gamble the head of innovation at the sutton on games in that way. they can't gamble elsewhere. the mps say the companies behind trust, a social mobility charity of games like fifa and fortnite hadn't education and work. really good to even done any research talk to you. fantastic that the into the potential harm they might cause. they said it was unacceptable that companies with millions of users, duchess of sussex is putting her many of them children, should be so ill—equipped to discuss weight and celebrity behind this the impact of their products. but the games industry insists it wonderful charity. but you and i, does behave responsibly. much like the duchess, having just the games industry always has returned to work from a year‘s
2:20 pm
and continues to take the welfare of players maternity leave, if we wanted to get really, really seriously. we care deeply about player experience. involved in this charity, it seems we want players to play safely. to me that the price point, by that we want them to play one item from marks & spencer is, in a balanced way. we provide technical puts the barrier to entry quite settings technical measures. we provide education, robust age ratings and guidance high? yes, that's definitely the and information sources. case. i think for a lot of people out there, the price points will be a challenge. i think the main thing to think about is that a lot of aiden and jake do have funds that will get used from the other interests, like building model aircraft. sale of these items will then but the mps say, for some young hopefully go on to help women back people, games can become an addictive and costly obsession, into work, and the sutton trust, for and they need protection. rory—cellan jones, bbc news. example, has been working in this area for many years now, in trying to make the workplace more accessible for particularly groups in society who find things like borisjohnson has dismissed concerns about the possible impact interviews a huge barrier to of a no deal brexit — accessing employment, and that in saying a planning document the government was forced itself is a huge barrier for things to publish last night set out like social mobility in the uk. worst case senarios. the prime minister said absolutely, because that is the operation yellowhammer files —— which date from early august —— interesting. how important is it, do were intended to highlight the risks you think, what a woman looks like —— the prime minister said when she goes for interview? if she the operation yellowhammer files — which date from early august — is doing a job that doesn‘t were intended to highlight the risks necessarily perhaps necessitate so they could then be addressed. the summary of the government's being in front of house. it‘s what no—deal brexit planning is only five she is wearing still really
2:21 pm
pages long but it makes important? so, for particular for startling reading. with more, here's our professions, how you look and what business editor simonjack. you where and how you come across as an important factor. we are trying lorries could be delayed at the to encourage employers to be more ports for up to 2.5 days with inclusive with the recruitment processes, to try to understand some of the processes that people have to significant disruption lasting up to six months. that would supplies of understand to get to that interview, and they should not be reallyjudged fuel and fresh food. it then results on what they look like, what brand of clothing they are wearing, but in lack of availability, choice and actually, the skills they are bringing to that role, their higher prices, panic buying could experience, because those things make matters worse. both these actually stand up for far more than effects could see a low income the brand of clothing that you are groups hit hardest. also three wearing or whether you are wearing a particular type of shoe or not. quarters of uk medicines and medical absolutely, and from your research, do you think that the same rules supplies come via short crossing apply to men, for example? such as dover and are described as quite interesting. so, we have not particularly vulnerable dies. the really done a huge amount of research in terms of looking at the document also contemplates civil gender differences, so what we have disorder as with protests and counter protest as they may even doneis gender differences, so what we have done is look at some of those kind have clashes between fishing vessels which could certainly be illegally of more artificial challenges to do with things like what you are fishing in each other‘s waters. the wearing, and even things like your government said no deal planning has accident can become a huge barrier. accelerated in the six weeks since this document was produced and to be there are probably some differences
2:22 pm
between men and women in terms of clear, this is not a prediction. much will depend on how well what clothing they have to wear or businesses are prepared and how the are expected to wear, but i think above and beyond that, it is their eu member states react in a no deal responsibility of employers to look situation but it does not deny these beyond some of those kind of more scenarios are possible. the government said it still hopes to superficial characteristics, and secure a deal, parliament has passed legislation to prevent no deal and actually, what they have in front of them, and to apply some really great official policy said it is prepared to leave without one. this document policies such as contextual so is some doubt the uk is prepared recruitment, which looks at the for what that might be. candidates that are in front of them, and really takes into we're joined from central london by ian wright, consideration what they have chief executive of the food and drink federation — achieved in terms of their which represents the interests of the uk's food and non—alcoholic environment, the different types of schools they may have gone to, and drinks manufacturing industry really contextualise the individual and specific food sectors. they have got in front of them. really interesting to talk to you. does what we read in this document match many thanks. that‘s it for now. your fears of a no—deal brexit and many thanks. that's it for nowm will be interesting to see the what it means? you might guess, it reaction of that. alice, thank you. seems to me to be a pretty realistic appraisal of what will happen if the prime minister of the bahamas there is a no deal exit on the 31st has called hurricane dorian ‘an historic tragedy‘, of october. it won't be absolutely saying no words are sufficient to describe it. during a televised national address, hubert minnis spoke of the grief his catastrophic for the country but it country was going through. ten days after the hurricane,
2:23 pm
will be grisly there will be chaos officials say two—and—a—half thousand people have been and there will be confusion. grisly registered as missing. gareth barlow reports. chaos. i am wondering, is that because it is the logistics are hurricane dorian devastated these islands, and thousands of people are still missing. physically getting stuff here? is that the problem? we have a modern miracle in this country of the distribution of food coming in through dover, cali and other ports day by day, rescue teams work of course, sent round the country to find the bodies of those killed, while the government works via distribution systems and on the to ascertain the true extent of the disaster. mankind was no match for the power of mother nature. shelves just in via distribution systems and on the shelvesjust in time via distribution systems and on the now this community shelves just in time so anybody who's been to a supermarket in is counting the cost. we recognise the extent recent yea rs who's been to a supermarket in recent years will have noticed the of the devastation. size of the stockroom has we are not going to speculate on what the final numbers would be. contracted, most of the product is on the shelves and it arrived just we understand people at the moment when it can be sold to are concerned, and so are we. shoppers. what this will do is disrupt that. there is a general aid and government officials a cce pta nce disrupt that. there is a general acceptance there will be delays of say around 5,000 people have been evacuated from the hardest—hit island groups. but thousands are still 1-2 acceptance there will be delays of 1—2 days going both ways incidentally in and out of the country and that, despite of the in urgent need of help. year, if it were an october exit, would mean a lot of fresh food we are importing from southern spain and north africa would just not have time to get here and go onto the
2:24 pm
shelf, remaining in good condition. in an address to the nation, it will be shipped and there will be the bahamian prime minister hubert minnis detailed the destruction problems are things like berries, in the worst—hit areas. much of abaco as we knew it is fruit, vegetables and other products decimated and no longer exists. that also go out of time. given we floodwaters in the streets made them appear like the ocean. concrete structures were turned have had this morning and you can to dust, as if a massive bomb had exploded with atomic force. gain planning for this for some time, there really is no way around it? there is a way around it which while international teams have rushed to help the bahamas, the trump administration has said it is to not exit on the 31st of won‘t allow people from the islands 0ctober is to not exit on the 31st of october or to exit with some form of currently living in the us to live deal that meant, as the theresa may and work there until it is safe for them to return. but first there‘s still deal that meant, as the theresa may deal meant, there is a period of the unanswered question transition. if we exit with no deal, of how many people died this is a pretty accurate assessment of what could happen pretty quickly. and will never come home. of of what could happen pretty quickly. of things are harder and tougher to get into the country, it means the consumer will pay more. yes, and thatis consumer will pay more. yes, and that is the other thing. at the same time as all this is going on, we have the currency fluctuations so it may very well be that as a no deal exit emerges much closer towards the now, time for a look at the weather
2:25 pm
end of october that the currency ta nks end of october that the currency tanks and the first thing shoppers forecast. patchy rain should be will see is increased prices of clearing in from scotland, heading products that have been shipped from into parts of wales. europe and are denominated in either fresh airfor the north, quite humid through much of the midlands towards euros or dollars and the disruption the south of england, and with a little sunshine, temperatures are likely to be into the mid 20s. there will be the follow—up until the 31st is the patchy rain and drizzle of october. the government said this affecting northern england and isa wales. that will sink its way of october. the government said this is a worst case scenario as they put southwards, most rain dying out, but it. i'm just wondering what might cleaning onto this cloud in have improved if we still leave on southernmost parts of england, which the 31st october in this period will keep temperatures up. elsewhere, apart from one or two showers across northern scotland, it between. what might improve his should be dry and clear, colder than it was last night. into friday‘s relationships with the french in the irish so it may be that it's forecast, that cloud soon moves away possible to reach what are described from southern counties of england. as side deals on things like product we keep a few showers going, and as blustery winds across northern scotland, one or two who was in of animal as side deals on things like product ofanimal origin, scotla nd scotland, one or two who was in scotland and northern ireland with as side deals on things like product of animal origin, border inspection posts, customs checks but the some sunny spells. lots of sunshine essential problem to which for england and wales, where rain yellowhammer essential problem to which yellowha m mer refers essential problem to which yellowhammer refers is that about will be lighter. a fresh feel, but half the drivers who rock up either with the sunshine, a lovely day, and at calais or dover will not have the right documentation and if they do temperatures around 15—16 in glasgow not have the right documentation and 20—21 in london. which they do not need at the moment, then there will be delays
2:26 pm
and it will not matter if you've got the right documents if you're behind to be lorries that have not. water about nigel farage? i was listening to him last night he said there were other ports, ways around this. nigel farage has evidently never been involved in food distribution. the quickest and most efficient way to get fresh food particularly into this country is across the short straights, as they refer to them, dover and calais or under the tunnel, and that is the pinch point. there will be other pinch points, similarly problems in dublin to fishguard and i think those sorts of areas will be the ones that caused the delay and the disruption. and to suggest it's not going to happen, this is not a report written by a bunch of remoaners, this has been written by sober civil servants who have the country's interest at heart. if boris johnson is watching, what is the message? get a deal? goal sort it out as my message.
2:27 pm
let's get something sorted. 0f course the industry would also want a particular kind of deal and ijust don't think that deal can be done in the next... whatever it is, 50 days. coming up on afternoon live... we'll be joined by our reality check correspondent chris morris, to disect the government's worst case scenario in the event of a no—deal brexit, codenamed, hello, you‘re watching 0peration yellowhammer. afternoon live. today at 4... i did not lie to her majesty — the prime minister of the bahamas the prime minister is forced has called hurricane to answer questions about misleading dorian ‘an historic tragedy‘, the queen over the saying no words are suspension of parliament. sufficient to describe it. during a televised national address, hubert minnis spoke of the grief his country was going through. ten days after the hurricane, did you lie to the queen when you officials say two—and—a—half thousand people have been registered as missing. advised her to prorogue, to suspend gareth barlow reports. parliament? absolutely not. the number of people convicted of rape in england and wales falls to its lowest level on record. hurricane dorian devastated these islands, and thousands of people are still missing. day by day, rescue teams work that was good. to find the bodies of those killed, the fun of gaming — while the government works but how to protect to ascertain the true
2:28 pm
extent of the disaster. children from addiction? mps want the industry to do more. coming up on afternoon live all the sport. mankind was no match the latest on the cricket? england for the power of mother nature. now this community is counting the cost. have lost three wickets on the we recognise the extent opening day of the final test of the devastation. we are not going to speculate against australia, but they have on what the final numbers would be. been stacking up the runs. and we understand people darren bett will have the weather. are concerned, and so are we. the weather should be cooler and fresher, but with more sunshine tomorrow. high pressure is taking a shine to the uk for once, that means aid and government officials say around 5,000 people our weather will be a bit quieter in have been evacuated from the hardest—hit island groups. but thousands are still the days ahead. more details later. in urgent need of help. in an address to the nation, also coming up... the bahamian prime minister hubert minnis detailed the destruction with life—changing cystic fibrosis drugs approved for patients in scotland, in the worst—hit areas. we‘ll go nationwide to get the reaction from glasgow. much of abaco as we knew it is decimated and no longer exists. floodwaters in the streets made them appear like the ocean. concrete structures were turned to dust, as if a massive bomb had exploded with atomic force. good afternoon.
2:29 pm
boris johnson has denied he lied to the queen when he advised her to prorogue parliament — insisting such claims are "absolutely not" true. in his first interview since scotland‘s highest civil court while international teams have rushed to help the bahamas, said his advice to the queen was "unlawful", the prime minister the trump administration has said it said suspension was called won't allow people from the islands because "we need a queen‘s speech, currently living in the us to live we need to get on and do all sorts and work there until it is safe of things at a national level." for them to return. labour said it would continue but first there's still to press the government the unanswered question of how many people died to recall parliament, so that it could properly and will never come home. interrogate ministers. gareth barlow, bbc news. meanwhile the prime minister sought to offer reassurance after the publication of government documents which outline the possible risks of a no—deal brexit. here‘s our political correspondentjessica parker. some very bad news for the hammer the prime minister in london still to come. more details on this to talk shipbuilding. he hopes his brexit with the weather forecast because plans won‘t be sunk. they are not out of the woods yet, are they? could no—deal planning documents that raise potentially not. we are keeping an the possibilities of protests, eye on a couple of areas of clouds a decrease in certain fresh foods and a disruption to medical supplies here. at the moment, this is steer him off course? clusters of thunderstorms that are what you‘re looking at here is just
2:30 pm
just merging together but this is the sensible preparations, the worst—case scenario, how tropical storms and hurricanes that you expect any develop. they start as a cluster of government to do. cloud or thunderstorms. they pick up in reality, we will certainly be ready for a no—deal brexit if we have to do it, energy that is developed into warm and i stress again that‘s not where we intend to end up. it comes after scotland‘s highest water. what is happening with this as there is uncertainty about civil court ruled that the advice whether it will develop, it is to the queen on the suspension of parliament was unlawful, likely it will become a tropical raising questions over whether boris johnson storm and then where will it go? misled the monarch. it's worth saying this will not be anything on the same scale of what there‘s going to be a further we had with dorian at all. the winds adjudication by the supreme court will not be that sort of level, the and we should wait and see what they say. rainfall will not be that sort of did you lie to the queen level but any rain and it is more when you advised her to prorogue, to suspend parliament? likely to be an issue of rain will absolutely not. bea likely to be an issue of rain will be a problem. there could be downing street insists prorogation something like 100 millimetres or so is just the routine run up to a queen‘s speech. as we head into friday and over the weekend. that may not sound very yesterday, judges said it actually much what that will cost them for the problems just now they are had the improper purpose of stymieing parliament, trying to sort things out. the and unhappy mps say they have plenty of questions about the no—deal reason why there is some uncertainty about how much this will develop yellowhammer documents. from this cost of cloud is because
2:31 pm
of probably what happened with that‘s why we‘re so angry that dorian. it has disturbed the sea. parliament was prorogued, because i should be in parliament you think about the storm surge, at the moment with the ability to interrogate the prime wings and really shaking up the minister and ministers. seas. these sort of thing feed off warnings about the impact of the warm sea and warm waters of of a no—deal brexit have, at times, by some been dismissed as project the sea. if they have been fear. but these are government assessments disturbed, the waters have dragged up disturbed, the waters have dragged up cooler water so it will not be as — and so harder to downplay. hot and it is unlikely to be and for those mps who are against a no—deal departure anywhere near as bad as the other but for the recall of parliament, one so it is worth watching. these papers provide extra ammunition. anywhere near as bad as the other one so it is worth watchinglj mentioned one so it is worth watching.” mentioned dorian. there was that now? if you look at what happened, that‘s the thing about yellowhammer this is the eastern sea of the us, today, which is we have to remember that the government has suspended swept up towards nova scotia a few parliament, silenced the elected representatives so that they are not days ago and the remnants have moved right the way across. to the north going to be scrutinised in the way that they would have been in parliament if parliament had of the uk. we focus on this area of been, as it should be cloud. this was tropical storm today, still sitting. gabriel. you can see it is still mps who don‘t quite go in for this there, it just gets military discipline forced gabriel. you can see it is still boris johnson to publish there, itjust gets swept towards there, itjust gets swept towards the uk, doesn't look like much at all but you can see from how far it these no—deal assessments. has travelled, it is responsible for this weather system here which is could the supreme court next week force him to recall parliament? bringing a bit of patchy rain and a captain of a ship isn‘t always in control.
2:32 pm
some very bringing a bit of patchy rain and some very muggy jessica parker, bbc news. bringing a bit of patchy rain and some very muggy air bringing a bit of patchy rain and some very muggy air across south—eastern parts of the uk. this area of low pressure is what is left for dorian. a bit of a tropical 0ur political correspondent, influence across the uk at the helen catt is at westminster. moment. looking at the rain we have isa is a breaking news, the court of session in edinburgh is being asked today. this is the last few hours or to compel the prime minister to so, we have this range are mainly request a extension to article 50 if affecting scotland and northern no deal is in place for leaving the ireland. that will flip its way into northern parts of england and wales. eu, so the pressure continues? fairly light and patchy, sunshine absolutely, it looks like we are but xiao was missing there coming heading for another showdown in into scotland. we have some sunshine scotland‘s highest court. as you across parts of the midlands, east said, a petition being put against anglia and the south—east of england borisjohnson said, a petition being put against and it will be a bit warmer year boris johnson himself. said, a petition being put against borisjohnson himself. the idea is to compel him to comply with the ben without muggy air, averages 23—24dc. bill, as it is known, which says an improvement in the weather in that if he does not have a deal by scotla nd an improvement in the weather in scotland and northern ireland, but 0ctober that if he does not have a deal by the air is cooler. good deal of rain october the 19th, he must send a letter to the eu asking for another pushing southwards. —— good deal of delay to brexit. the prime minister rain. getting stuck across northern has repeatedly said he will not be counties and the english channel, delaying brexit. there was keeping temperature is up. apart discussion about what that meant. some cabinet ministers that he would from showers across scotland, dry and clear, which means it will be not ask for any extension, but he colder than it was last night but we would be complying with the law. have one of these in charge of our weather for the end of the weekend.

2:40 pm
applause i trust that, ultimately, i think we have a situation where there will be... where we to get to this point, where the prime minister was genuinely suggesting that the civil service were to break the civil service were to break the civil service code, i think we would get award, 2019. wow! how nice. he had goose bumps and was to such an impasse around the principles that underpin the civil genuinely surprised. i genuinely deserved for rory michael roy. service, and people would simply yes, he was handed the award and refuse to do that, it would create such consternation that it would said, i've already got two!” said, i've already got two! i don't think he was turning it down. we we re think he was turning it down. we were saying, let's go for a resolve the matter. but it is hard hat—trick. were saying, let's go for a hat-trick. i will talk to you later, tojudge. because he is speculating thank you very much. the government has published about refusing to follow an act of documents that outline what it calls the worst case scenario in the event parliament. the fact you have written a letter would suggest you of a no—deal brexit. don‘t trust him and you are just the document, named 0peration yellowhammer, was published last night raising a concern that he might take after an intervention by the former you into a loan you don‘t want to go conservative attorney general dominic grieve. into? i think what we have to say is 0ur reality check correspondent that it lies at the door of the chris morris is here. prime minister. he is creating so, let's go through this. uncertainty in the civil service and what do the yellowhammer documents say about the problems facing therefore it is only the prime lorries trying to cross minister that can put this to bed. the english channel? the civil service is there to yes, we know now that dover — deliver the prime minister‘s well and the government‘s will. he should calais, the short straights, as they call them, are absolutely key, and understand that the people who he is if there is a new deal, suddenly we asking to deliver that are asking
2:41 pm
are outside the single market in the for some certainty, that they would customs union, the eu's economic not be asked to breach one of the structures. so if lorries do not fundamental principle that underpins have the right documents, and if the work they do. that is adhering there are not enough places for them to the rule of law. you know what is to park in waiting a potentially, to get through, this document says going on in ways that others don‘t, that, in a realistic worst—case it is civil servants that are doing scenario, the flow could be reduced everything, whether it is preparing to about 40—60% of current levels for a no—deal, whether they are in within one day. 0fficials brussels negotiating between closed doors. have you ever known an to about 40—60% of current levels within one day. officials say these are old assumptions that are being atmosphere like this? no, and the updated. they will not tell us what the new ones are. they point out political uncertainty has increased that things have happened since. since the new prime minister has there is this thing called a aori taken over since the new prime minister has ta ken over because since the new prime minister has taken over because of his approach. the biggest problem for the civil service is what we touched on at the number which anyone exporting or beginning. there are 20,000 civil importing into the eu needs to have. serva nts beginning. there are 20,000 civil servants preparing for multiple outcomes when it comes to brexit. it companies have been asked to register for those numbers, is such a fundamental issue, and it companies have been asked to registerfor those numbers, now they are automatically being given them is such a fundamental issue, and it is going to affect our country for by the government. they hope that decades to come. it is almost will speed things up. there is also impossible to do that a business readiness campaign. but simultaneously. what we need is the settled will of parliament and evenif a business readiness campaign. but even if you increase that, to 80%, government to decide where the country is going and then ask the civil service to deliver it, they will deliver it. frustrated? very. say, which i don't think they will, that will still mean 20% of the
2:42 pm
and i think our members are 10,000 lorries going through dover every day we'll have to wait frustrated. and i think this sort of somewhere. that will very quickly speculation about whether they are going to be asked to breach the create jams and, within one day, civil service code is a destruction. a destruction they can do without that they think this reduction could when they are trying to deliver the happen, in a realistic worst—case government‘s will. when they are trying to deliver the government's will. good to see you, scenario, and i think the best case scenario, and i think the best case scenario would still mean, certainly in the short they would be delays. thanks. in the united states, a powerful congressional committee the documents also warn has voted to broaden its powers of a "decrease" in certain types of fresh food and price rises for food and fuel. we have just heard from the food and to investigate president trump. drink federation saying the same. price rises to four food and fuel. the house judiciary committee, why that? a lot of that is linked. controlled by democrats, voted along strict party lines following its frustrations at the refusal of a number that issue of the lorries and of white house officials and former logistics moving across the channel staffers to appear to give evidence. if the committee decides to recommend articles is absolutely crucial. 0bviously, of impeachment to the full house, is absolutely crucial. obviously, a lot of fresh food comes in from it would require a simple europe. if the lorries can't move, majority there to proceed the food doesn't move so quickly. we to a trial in the senate. let‘s get more on this now are not talking about suddenly from our washington correspondent, nothing on the shelves. we are gary 0‘donaghue. talking about potentially reduced how much trouble, potentially, is choice and availability, and president trump in here? well, i particularly at that time of year, think he will view this, in some it is difficult. probably worse than if we had left with no deal back in ways, as a potential advantage, in march. the end of october, the tisch
2:43 pm
agricultural growing season has just some ways. because it would be a come to an end, so we are useful way of him fighting an overdependent on more dependent than at other times of year and the election if he was under threat from european market. even if it is stuff a house controlled by the democrats. you can stockpile, which you have usually can do with fresh fruit, but he could present himself as being maybe with food you can stockpile, because it is the run—up to persecuted. there are upsides, as christmas, where houses are full, so well as downsides. 0ne thatis christmas, where houses are full, so that is a bit of a problem. and if persecuted. there are upsides, as well as downsides. one thing he does know is that if they go down this road and they get the vote through there are lots of delays, then we know there are plans potentially of this committee, and in the house of lorry parks in kent and so forth, representatives, which are lorries potentially queueing back up controlled by democrats, it will the motorway, if that happens, then fail in the senate simply because you need a two thirds majority there there could be, according to this yellowhammer document, disruption to and the republicans have more senators than the democrats. so it fuel supplies, and that is why there won‘t work. the calculation on the isa fuel supplies, and that is why there is a potential problem with fuel democrat side is, is this a way of supplies. we have refineries here. trying to turn public opinion a how much fuel is there? there was little bit, is this a way of trying one bit of this document which was to get information and testimony redacted, blacked out, when it was reduced last night by the from people who could damage the government. we know what that bit said. it was about refineries, and president, who could talk to the various things they accuse him of, it was actually articulating the and is it a way of actually getting fear that the government, if they more cooperation on some of the we re fear that the government, if they were to say, you can bring for fuel areas where they have simply had
2:44 pm
people refused to appear before in from europe with no tariffs, fuel them, even when they have been subpoenaed, and they are battling exported from the uk to europe would out in the courts. the other thing, still have a tariff on it, because the uk would impose one. in that simon, is that overshadowing the scenario, according to their own whole calculation about impeachment document, you could be looking at is what happened to bill clinton in potentially refineries closing, the 905. the republican house strikes happening, and again, fuel impeached him, it got defeated in the senate by the democrats, who supplies disrupted. you ask about we re the senate by the democrats, who were the majority there, and bill price rises. 0bviously, supplies disrupted. you ask about price rises. obviously, in terms of clinton‘5 popularity went up. that why would it affect the poorest i5 clinton‘5 popularity went up. that is the problem. the difficulty for people disproportionately, well, obviously, everybody needs to buy the democrats i5 food, so if you have a limited is the problem. the difficulty for the democrats is the leadership in amount of income every month, you their party, what they don‘t want is are going to be more affected if impeachment at this stage, they don‘t think it is the right time, food prices go up than if you have they think the risks are too high. a more income available. 0n the point made also, if the pound lot of the newcomers, a lot of what fall still further, that will have you might call the progressive, an effect? there are lots of things. the weather can also affect the young progressive you might call the progressive, young progre55ive left on the price of food. so it is notjust democratic party are screaming for brexit, but this is originally a it. of course there is an election crunch point. not that far away? yes, that's absolutely right, and it could cut lots of people are asking not if they will be disruption, but how both ways in that context. it could long it will last. supplies of medicine are also the focus. yes, turn to his advantage, it could turn to their advantage. i don‘t think at the documents as again, reasonable
2:45 pm
the moment the leadership, in the worst—case assumption, which doesn't mean it is something that will happen, but it's shape of nancy pelo5i, the speaker of the house, they don‘t feel there mean it is something that will happen, but its is being factored m, happen, but its is being factored in, disruption could last for up to six months. that obviously means i5a of the house, they don‘t feel there is a slam dunk case that could get medical supplies, rather like fresh republicans on side. it‘s food, come into the equation. we importan food, come into the equation. we import an awful lot of medicines from the european union. some things questionable, whatever the evidence can be stockpiled, tablets of was, whatever was recovered by aspirin, perhaps, but otherthings various inquiries, we have had really can't be. radioisotopes, for example, to be used in certain miller, there is a suspicion that cancer scans, degrade literally within a few hours. things like the era we live in is so partisan, insulin need to be refrigerated so you can't delay them for too long. so polarised, that nothing, in a 5en5e, so polarised, that nothing, in a sense, would tip the other side we have heard from doctors of their over, or if it enough on the other real concerns about medical supply. what is the government doing? well, side overfor voting for it is saying we are chartering planes to fly a certain amount of over, or if it enough on the other medicines in. but there is easily an side over for voting for them. issue of volume. you can really replace the potential volume of you‘re watching afternoon live, these are our headlines 10,000 trucks a day with chartered planes. so again, there is a huge the prime minister denies lying to the queen and insists the uk amount going on behind the scenes, will be ready for a no—deal brexit — despite government documents warning but the point to emphasise is that a modern economy like ours has got a that it could lead to food and medicine shortages. million moving parts, and we are the number of people
2:46 pm
investigated for rape, who go on to be convicted, suddenly saying in a no deal, falls to its lowest level there's million moving parts have since records were first compiled — got to go from here to hear all at more than a decade ago. new figures reveal cancer survival rates in the uk remain below those once. so there is bound to be some of other high income countries. disruption. so the focus on the south of and in sport: england, the focus there. northern ireland is a whole different ball game, though. yes, and i think this four wickets gone in the first day is the one issue the government is of the final ashes te5t, more worried about than anything but the runs are stacking up else. if you look at the list, it is for england — captainjoe root has passed his 50. written and fairly sort of plain, that was him getting his half not exactly neutral language, but it century. he has just is quite alarming stuff. it says that was him getting his half century. he ha5ju5t gone that was him getting his half century. he has just gone for 57. england need to win this match that any short—term plan for the to level the series. england manager gareth southgate border is likely to be unsustainable says he is concerned about his players being subjected almost immediately, because of legal, economic and bio—security to raci5t abuse in bulgaria during their euro qualifier next month. risks. it says that some businesses he says he‘ll meet with the team will stop trading in the agriculture to discuss how they respond. four—time grand slam champion kim clijsters comes out of the retirement for a second time. and agri— food business sectors, and says she‘ll play which will be particularly affected. again, this is a reasonable on the women‘s tour next year. worst—case scenario, not a guarantee of anything happening, but it warns of anything happening, but it warns ofjob of anything happening, but it warns of job losses, protest, of anything happening, but it warns ofjob losses, protest, direct action, with road blockages. i think i'll i‘ll be back with more on thatjoe there is a really interesting root wicket after half past. sentence hidden in there, when people talk about, let's just get on
2:47 pm
with it, have a clean break brexit, the number of people investigated it will all go away. one sentence in for rape who were later convicted of a sexual offence has fallen this document: there will be to its lowest level since records significant pressure to agree new began more than a decade ago. arrangements which supersede the day the latest figures show one model within days or weeks. in there were fewer than 2,000 convictions across england and wales in the year to the end of march — other words, whatever is in place in down by more than a quarter northern ireland will not be on the previous year. sustainable, and we will need to the number — talk to the other side again. and proportion — of suspects michael gove, cabinet minister who who were charged has also dropped dramatically. is in charge of this, says he does our home affairs correspondent not think the government would deny june kelly reports. phone messages and social media their focus in northern have become a big part not think the government would deny theirfocus in northern ireland. —— of rape investigations. ido theirfocus in northern ireland. —— i do not think he they would deny it. he said, we are acutely aware complainants are being asked to hand over their phones, whatever the impact of no—deal as the police search brexit, it is likely to be more for digital evidence. acute in a number of ways in northern ireland, extending notjust rebecca says that after she was of the economy but to security raped, she had some seemingly considerations as well. dover and normal whatsapp exchanges calais is about logistics, and it is with her attacker. problematic, but can eventually be this was because she was trying not solved, perhaps. but it is all the to make him angry as he had punched her and threatened her with a knife. politics and history and security of northern ireland on top of that which makes it such a potential but she was told that the messages could be misinterpreted by a jury — flash point. chris, thank you very much. and the man, who she learned had a history of violence against women, wasn‘t prosecuted. let's get more now that mps are calling on video game companies learning that decision to protect young

any absolutely true, but we still have many, many unanswered questions, schools and clinics. many, many unanswered questions, many details that are not clear, we couldn‘t treat people out in the open anymore. many details that are not clear, many operational elements that the we weren‘t secure and our government has not clarified yet, and of course they are setting the patients weren‘t safe. this is atma charity hospital, and they‘re doing an response ability of the eu that are incrediblejob here. not fully adopted yet. for instance, it‘s both a field hospital at this stage, the eu would need to and a general hospital, and it sees up to 1,000 patients change its role rules formally for every single day — and it does that uk trucks to be able to access the with only 12 doctors. continent after the end of the year. there is a proposal that has not the attacks on hospitals been adopted yet. likewise, there all across idlib means that places like this are under more pressure needs to be an amendment to an than ever before. existing piece of legislation at a and it comes at a time when new level. for exports in a no—deal this war is over eight years old and the international community is losing interest, so in idlib‘s most desperate hour of need, brexit. quite a view pending issues its people are being left wanting. really important to us and i think quentin sommerville until we have full clarity on of reporting from idlib. that, it is hard to say we are fully a dispute has broken out between the zimbabwe government and the family of the former ready. argue saying at the end of president robert mugabe over this year, there is a possibility where his body should be buried. the trucks will not go into the eu. the family want it
3:14 pm
displayed in his village, kutama, on sunday night — i think the proposal is likely to be and want a private burial early next week. adopted but are likely to be adopted but mugabe‘s successor wants him enshrined in a national monument. and certainty is not quite the same. his body is currently being prepared to lie in state at a football stadium in the capital of harare. the proposal which was made last week to allow uk trucks to be able to access the continent after the figures released this morning end of this year but even that suggest there are almost 23,500 families and individuals who are homeless — or at risk of being homeless — in england proposal would basically terminate who have experience of domestic abuse. at the end ofjuly. why wouldn't it‘s the first full year they? i don‘t understand why they the stats have been released. wouldn‘t be. the homelessness charity crisis says it shows the government needs they? i don‘t understand why they wouldn't be. why wouldn't they? why to offer more support to people haven‘t they done it already? it‘s forced to leave their homes because of domestic violence. not something particularly complicated to do. why did the commission wait until september to john 0wen has been to meet peta, who was left homeless after fleeing domestic abuse and is now living release its proposal which was only in temporary accommodation. good boy. changing a date? it‘s not clear. still this is even if adopted, giving us clarity untiljuly next peta lives in temporary accommodation in london, sharing a single room year. what happens after that is with her two—year—old son. anyone‘s guess. space—wise, it is just difficult to have a normal upbringing year. what happens after that is anyone's guess. can you put a cost for a child in a setting like this. of financialfigure anyone's guess. can you put a cost of financial figure at the moment to what you fear would happen if there it is just not normal.

that the report has been published i‘m on antidepressants at the moment because of the situation. evenif that the report has been published even if it had to be prised out of but living in this condition is not going to change anything. the government and i think it is a vindication of the original story by and the ones that are being abused by persons are also being abused by the system. the sunday times. having said that, the sunday times. having said that, peta is one of thousands of domestic the consequences are as stark as they were in that leak and i have to abuse victims who have suffered homelessness or been forced say, i think the government are not to use temporary accommodation. being entirely honest or open in its she, for one, feels that the system has let her down. john 0wen, bbc news. publication. why do i say that? well, the report has had a tampering of the title. when the leak came all the business news injust a out, the title of the report was the moment. first, a look at the headlines base scenario. it is now being on afternoon live. the prime minister denies lying described as the reasonable to the queen and insists the uk worst—case scenario. those are two will be ready for a no—deal brexit — despite government documents warning entirely different things. they base that it could lead to food and medicine shortages. the number of people investigated scenario can be worth or it can be for rape who go on to be convicted better. i think that is a concern. falls to its lowest level the second thing is this is a five since records were first compiled — more than a decade ago. page document and i know there are new figures reveal cancer survival rates in the uk remain below those much fuller analyses of the impact of other high—income countries. of no deal and we haven‘t seen those. i think we should see that as

well. are you working on the basis here‘s your business or assumption that there would be headlines on afternoon live. even more “— or assumption that there would be even more —— like they would be even more dire? i'm working on the the eurozone gets a boost assumption that the public ought to from its central bank, have the full facts, and it‘s a with a further cut to interest rates and a fresh stimulus package — all point i have made all the way along aimed at bolstering flagging growth. here about the consequences of no deal. my personal view is that this john lewis swings into a loss in the first half of this year. isa deal. my personal view is that this is a risk we should not be taking as sales of big ticket electrical and household products have a country and it‘s a self—imposed been particularly weak. risk that would have significant the cigarette maker british american tobacco has short—term problems and also announced more than 2,000 job cuts. long—term impacts for the economy. with fewer people smoking traditional cigarettes, but the point here is the public in it plans to refocus on vaping and other new products. separately, the white house has these circumstances ought to have announced it will ban fruit these circumstances ought to have the full information available to them and then they can make their flavoured e—cigarettes. own mind up whether this is a risk worth taking. the government should be completely transparent. white you speak about the risks by boris the european central bank, some big johnson is making the point this morning that this is what the announcements today. it was the main government or civil servants have worked out would happen on the less event moving markets. they came out we do something to mitigate it, with announcing any stimulus package, a his argument being that we know we new package of quantitive easing,

3:20 pm
and it‘s all part of project fear. that is an absurd argument. this is world over we re happened in the interim? banks the world over were talking up the a very credible document. if you prospect of the world economy in read the detailed comments about that might balance the new weight 2019. we even had the federal puts forward issues and it would be reserve making clear they were not written by an expert team in the contingency unit of the cabinet intending to hike rates. the central bank have now been saying, the 0ffice contingency unit of the cabinet coble, means weaker, we are going to office with an aim of giving an have to take more action. the honest and fair account of the problem many people might discern is issues we face. to simply write it off as project fear or remainer central bank, cutting rates so they negative levels, ultimately can be influences is ridiculous. positively seen as disruptive. the big story of reckless as well as i would say. the day now is that at what point will governments elect to use fiscal the number of people investigated for rape who were later policy to directly spend money or convicted of a sexual offence has fallen to its lowest level since records began cut taxes, given that monetary more than a decade ago. the latest figures show there were fewer policy is largely now not than 2,000 convictions delivering? as you say, negative across england and wales in the year to the end of march — down by more than a quarter on the previous year. the number — interest rates are usually controversial because at the end of and proportion — of suspects the day, the big banks do end up who were charged has also dropped dramatically. our home affairs correspondent paying, which gets passed on the food chain, and they do affect june kelly reports. savings. indeed. and thanks find it

3:25 pm
where it‘s dry, it‘s warm and quite humid air. a little bit of sunshine and some of the spending is also a form of gambling, temperatures of 23 or 24 degrees. not a great deal of rain left this we believe, in that people, evening across northern parts rather than just purchasing items, are asked to spend some money of england and wales. to gamble that they might then get that cloud band pushes its way southwards. a new player for a football game, it‘ll cling onto the far south of england. or some tool for a game that‘ll keep the temperatures up, certainly. that they‘re playing, elsewhere, apart from one or two like fortnite, which will help showers in northern scotland, their play, and we think it‘s going to be dry, that is probably inappropriate that clear skies, lighter winds and those children should be able to gamble temperatures will be lower on games in that way. than they were last night. they can‘t gamble elsewhere. as we head into friday, this is the dominant feature, this area of high pressure. now, around the top of it, we‘ve still got some atlantic winds, the mps say the companies behind games like fifa and fortnite hadn‘t blustery winds in scotland. and whilst there will be some even done any research sunshine, there could be into the potential harm they might cause. a few showers around, they said it was unacceptable that mainly for the north and perhaps western parts of scotland, companies with millions of users, one or two coming into many of them children, should be so ill—equipped to discuss northern ireland. probably going to be dry the impact of their products. across england and wales. but the games industry insists it lighter winds than today, does behave responsibly. lots of sunshine around. the games industry always has a fresher feel, yes, and continues to take but those temperatures are back the welfare of players to where they should be — really, really seriously. 16 in the central belt to 21 we care deeply about in the south east of england. player experience. as we move into the weekend, we want players to play safely. we‘ve still got that area of high pressure in charge. so it will be cold, actually, friday night, saturday morning. and then these weather fronts, a deep area of low pressure, heading towards the north of the uk.
