has never had next few days. britain has never had a global sprint gold medallist in history and dina asher—smith is the red—hot favourite for this one. now in the semifinals, she was serene and she was the fastest of all four of the top ten world athletes that will be in the final. all her major rivals by the pulled out through injury and it looks like britain could be getting their first gold medal of the championships tonight. natalie, thank you. time for a look at the weather. hhere's stav da naos. what a difference a day makes. clear skies out there and lots of sunshine around. it is a short lived settled speu around. it is a short lived settled spell as it turns more unsettled towards the end of the week on the weekend. high pressure is moving in now, that is the low pressure yesterday which brought that heavy rain. but it is colder mass of air

spreading down from the north right gci’oss spreading down from the north right across the country, noticeably colder. we had at least the sunshine to compensate this morning but through the afternoon we have the odd shower here and there mostly gci’oss odd shower here and there mostly across the north—east of scotland. it will be windy as well in the northern isles. micah went elsewhere but temperatures 12, 15 degrees, much colder than we have been used to. this evening and tonight it stays dry and clear for most, a cold night to come, colder than last point for many. also across northern and eastern coasts. a bit more breeze across the far south—west. elsewhere low single digits and some frost across central and northern areas out of town. and this is herrick and lorenzo continuing to push northwards towards our shores. bringing a spell of severe gales to western parts of ireland and some

heavy rain. so there has been an orange warning issued there. but for us orange warning issued there. but for us it should not be too bad, it sta rts us it should not be too bad, it starts off fine on thursday with sunshine but the cloud building from the west and eventually by the end of the date we see gales developing across irish sea coasts. temperature beginning to increase across the south, further north and east are still in that cooler air mass, around the low teens. and then the system suites and across the uk, notice how there is ice to fill out through friday, this is a rapidly weakening system so it will lose intensity by the end of friday as it pushes south. the wind and the rain easing down pretty much across the board. so a milder end to friday as well. mid teens further north. that system clears into the near continent but we maintain low pressure through this weekend

generally to the north—west of the country. spells of wind and rain at times followed by brighter interludes. and milder than today for most. a reminder of our top story... borisjohnson tells the conservative party conference the uk will leave the eu at the end of october, come what may, he also said that the uk's final brexit proposals would mean give and take on both on both sides. that's all from the bbc news at one — so it's goodbye from me — and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. it was an embarrasing, humbling night for spurs — thrashed 7—2 at home by bayern munich in the champions league. just four months after reaching the final of the competition. joe wilson reports. empty — that was tottenham at full—time.

against a club with five european cups, they had just conceded seven goals — seven. strange thing is, spurs actually took the lead. it looked good for them, after 11 minutes. sadly, the lead barely lasted three minutes. could kimmich score from there? well, yes. well, if you allow players to shoot, they will score, especially if they are one of the outstanding finishers. perfect from robert lewandowski. now look who led the game. now look who fell apart. the second half began with bayern munich scoring almost at will. three quickly became four. tottenham's manager looked at the floor. what was left in the game? well, a harry kane penalty. 4—2, if you had lost count. spurs were, remember, champions league finalists. what are they now? serge gnabry, a former arsenal player, completed his hat—trick. lewandowski helped himself to another. by now, it was just torture, tottenham's ambitions and status shattered by a single

scoreline — 7—2. manchester city, in contrast, were serene — 2—0 winners against dinamo zagreb, even if the referee decided to book their manager. well, cheer up, pep. have you heard the score from spurs? joe wilson, bbc news. manchester city's bernardo silva has been charged with misconduct by the football association over his social media post about team—mate benjamin mendy. silva tweeted an image of a young mendy alongside an image of the brand mascot of spanish confectionery brand conguitos last month. he deleted the post, which has now led to an fa charge. he has until 9 october to respond. meanwhile the premier league have appointed david pemsel as their new chief executive — he joins from the guardian media group, and replaces richard scudamore who retired at the end of last year. new zealand have recorded the biggest score yet at the rugby world cup,

hammering canada 63—0 in oita. all three barrett brothers got their names on the scoresheet with tries for beauden, and jordie, and scott. the first time three brothers have started for the kiwis. their ninth and final try came from brad weber, his second. new zealand are a point behind pool leaders italy who still have to face both south africa and the all blacks. france needed three late tries to survive a scare and see off the united states for their second win. at one point the us were just three point behind france at 12 point to nine. but france then scored three more tries to pick up a bonus point. the win moves france up to second in pool c, one point behind england. andy murray is through to the quater finals of the china open after beating fellow briton cameron norrie over three sets. after two tight sets both of which were taken on tie breaks, murray raced through the decider 6—1 after nearly three hours.

it is the first time he's won two straight atp tour singles matches since hip resurfacing surgery injanuary. next up will be either top seed dominic thiem or china's zhang zhizhen. to doha, where there was huge disappointment for britain's adam gemili at the world athletics championships. he narrowly missed out on a medal in the 200—metres — finishing fourth by the narrowest of margins. the same thing that happened to him at the rio olympics three years ago. the race was won by the favourite, american noah lyles. meanwhile there was another impressive performance from dina asher smith. she looked in fine form as she comfortably won her 200—metres semi final. she's now the big favourite to win gold in tonight's final. i'll have more for you in the next hour.

thank you very much. borisjohnson, says he's sent constructive and reasonable proposals to the european union on britain's planned withdrawal at the end of the month. speaking at the conservative party conference in manchester the prime minister gave few details, but said there would be no customs checks at or near the border between ireland and northern ireland. the issue has been a sticking point in negotiations with the eu. he warned the only alternative was a no—deal exit. after three and a half years people are beginning to feel they are being taken for so and they are beginning to suspect that our people in this country who do not want brexit delivered at all. it turned out to be right in that suspicion, there will be grave consequences for trust in her democracy. let us get brexit done on 31st of october because of the opportunities it will bring, not just to take back control of our

money, oui’ just to take back control of our money, our borders and laws and our place as a proud and global campaigner for free trade but let us get it done because delhi is a pointless, expensive and debilitated but letters get it done because we need to build a positive new partnership with the eu because it cannot be stressed too much that this is not an anti—european party. this is not an anti—european country. we are european. we love europe, i love europe. i love it. but after 45 years of really dramatic constitutional change in oui’ dramatic constitutional change in our relationships, we must have a new relationship with the eu, a positive and confident partnership and we can do it. today in brussels we are tabling what i believe are constructive and reasonable proposals, which provide a

compromise for both sides. we will under no circumstances have checks at or near the border in northern ireland. we will respect the peace process and the good friday agreement. applause. and...and by a process of renewable, democratic consent by the executive and the assembly of northern ireland, we will go further and protect the existing regulatory arrangements for farmers and businesses on both sides of the border and at the same time we will allow the uk, whole and entire, to withdraw from the eu with control over our own trade policy from the start. and we will protect our precious

union between great britain and northern ireland. applause and yes, yes, this is a compromise by the uk and i hope very much that our friends understand that compromise and compromise in their turn because if we fail to get an agreement because of what is essentially a technical discussion on the exact nature of future customs checks when that technology is improving the whole time, then let us be in no doubt, conference, t of what the alternative is. the alternative is no deal. that is not an outcome we want or we desire but let me tell you, my friends, it is an outcome for which we are ready.

applause that was the prime minister speaking and there at the party conference and there at the party conference and in reaction to the new brexit proposals he will submit this afternoon, there has been a reaction from the dup leader, arlene foster who says that if the european union rejects the sensible and balanced dealfrom the rejects the sensible and balanced deal from the uk we will be entering the realms of no deal. so that reaction from the leader of the dup. more than 150 flood alerts remain in place in england, with more rain and strong winds forecast for tomorrow. on the isle of man a major incident was declared yesterday, after flash flooding trapped some people indoors. cars were submerged after heavy rain in leicestershire and landslides blocked railway lines in cumbria. our correspondent tim muffett is in laxey on the isle of man here in laxey, on the east

coast, it bucketd down. the river burst its banks in the water came cascading into many properties, this being one of them. the water has now subsided but the damage is evident and the clean—up is under way. this is your property. thank you for talking to us. this is pretty traumatic when your home is flooded. mark, talk us through what happened yesterday. we just got up in the morning, it was raining. a bit later on, itjust bucketed down and the wall went over there and the river came inside for about seven or eight inches. outside was about three or four foot. it has just ruined everything, everything. what were the emergency services saying to you, tracy? basicallyjust to stay upstairs so they knew where we were. they were going to helicopter us out at one stage, the

life crew were going to come down in boats, but that never had to happen in the end. there have been floods here before, i think four years ago, but this seems far more dramatic than what you have previously seen. about four years ago but it has never flooded this end, after glen road, it is always down the far end. last time we helped the people down there and we have never had no problem at. —— at all. it is just the amount of debris in the river has blocked it and that is what has caused the wall to go and the water to come over. thank you so much for talking to us, we appreciate it and best of luck with the clean—up. i will speak to dan from the isle of man government. is enough being done and what is being done to help people with this? the first priority is to keep people safe in their homes, as we did yesterday, today is about clean—up and recovery, supporting people, particularly vulnerable

people working with out social services to get people the care they need and the support they need. it will be a long trek but whatever we can do, make sure the infrastructure is safe and look at how the flood risk can be mitigated in the future. the river is just here, this is the bank over which the water came. yeah. you might be able to see here trees and dams blocking it, that dam has been created by being forced along the river. a lot of debris has been forced down the river which seem to create a bit of a back—up which meant the wall eventually got breached and it came onto the road so i think later on today or the next couple of days we will look at how the dam can be removed safely, get the debris out of the way and look at the whole of laxey and how the flooding risk can be mitigated for the future. thank you all very much indeed. you can see some of the debris behind me and other neighbours affected by this, there is a big clean—up operation about to get under way.

the royal shakespeare company is to end its partnership with bp at the end of the year following criticism of its links to the international oil giant. last week, school students threatened to boycott the stratford—upon—avon—based theatre company if it did not sever links with the firm. the rsc said it "could not ignore" the "strength of feeling" against the deal. bp said it was "disappointed and dismayed" its partnership had been brought to a "premature" end. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news. but in brussels, thing the proposals put forward to resolve their brexit deadlock are constructive and reasonable. as the chicken touches of sussex end their tour of africa, they launch a court case against the mail on sunday. hundreds of pupils in hong kong stage asset in other

protests at a student to short by police during protests. now the business news. the chief executive of tesco says he'll leave hisjob next summer. dave lewis took over at britain's biggest retailer five years ago at a turbulent time. he says it's the right time to move on and a former boss of boots has been lined up to replace him. the construction sector is suffering its worst downturn since the financial crisis. a closely watched survey suggests that building activity in september fell at the second fastest rate since 2009 — although the downturn injune of this year was even deeper. the economists behind the research say that brexit and the weak outlook for the overall economy are to blame. the cash machine provider link is promising to spend £1 million putting machines in communities where people are finding it hard to access cash. it's enough to pay for up to 50 atms in so—called ‘cash deserts‘. with their use in decline, the consumer group which?

recently complained they were being removed more quickly in deprived areas. so, with fewer people using them, cash machines have been disappearing, hundreds every month, and consumer group which says the poorest areas have been seeing free machines vanish quickest. now, the biggest provider of cash machines, link, has decided to install free—to—access machines in some areas without them. adrian roberts is the chief officer for link, it sounds like a lot but this will only pay for the steam machines, elegant sites have been identified. good afternoon. let me

start with the bigger picture, we are using cash less, we are buying more online and using contactless cards and that means were using cashless. ten years ago six in ten payments were made in cash but now it is the intent and it will be as little as one in ten in a few years. but we also know to .2 million consumers in the uk rely on cash and use it everyday, they might be elderly, vulnerable or the less well—off so it is critically important that every community has free access to cash whether through an atm ora free access to cash whether through an atm or a post office counter and thatis an atm or a post office counter and that is why we are launching this fund today so for the first time communities will be able to talk directly to link and if they do not have a free to atm or a post office oi’ have a free to atm or a post office or they do not have a suitable location for an atm, they can apply for a fully funded machine from

link. this seems to be undoing the removal of machines but not quite at the same link, 47 machines disappeared from one part of birmingham in the last 18 months. so this is only going a small way to improve access to cash? there are 40,000 free to use atms in the uk which is a huge number but we should not focus on the number but the coverage. so the coverage is actually very good in this country. what we are doing with his scheme is to see if that rna gaps in coverage, come and talk to us and we will see if we can help. -- if there are gaps. the analysis by which points to then being removed in deprived areas rather than affluent, why is that? i think it is to do with the

way we pay for goods. we find often the move towards digital payment is moving at a different pace in different areas but that said, ptas atms are still a very small proportion of the overall estate. there are fewer than there were ten yea rs there are fewer than there were ten years ago and i think there is very good choice for consumers to access cash without paying for it. thank you very much, adrian roberts there. some of corporate britain's biggest names are behind the hashtag me to style salary campaigns. it was sparked after recent gender bias case involving a bank. it is spearheaded by the former chief of

the new building provides a visitor centre and gallery. we needed a new entrance into the park. we needed more car parking, more cafe space. and we also wanted a building that was going to bring people into this 18th—century landscape in a new way. you approach the building from the car park, and you're taken into something which is almost like a kind of slit in an earthwork, you feel as if you're going into a hill. and then everything explodes when you come into this room. the light explodes, and of course the landscape explodes in front of you. what we wanted to do was to create a complete transition, from the motorway

and the 215t century infrastructure. to cross the threshold, you would descend into the building and then we wanted people to be kind of met with a calmness before them, venturing out to the park and discover the wonderful works of art and the landscape. the site itself is a former quarry in the 18th century. that was the starting point, really, in terms of the tones of the wall. we picked up on the millstone grit, limestone and granite, which is abundant in this area, and tried to express those in these striations up the wall. the building is as much of the landscape as it is a building on its own right. so, we've used materials that have a natural tone, patina and texture throughout to try to achieve something that felt really geological, and rooted to the sense of place. they've fulfilled something far beyond our expectations, because we have something which is almost like an artwork that's come out of the ground.

it's a building that holds light, it's a beautiful building to be inside. and it's a building that people want to be in. people feel kind of embraced by this place. and it's really made it a fantastic new experience, coming into yorkshire sculpture park. you can find out more about all of the nominated buildings on the bbc arts website and watch this year's riba stirling prize live here on the bbc news channel next tuesday evening from 8.30. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello there. i think the pictures behind me depict wednesday's weather. a brief ridge of high pressure to settle things down nicely, that is yesterday's area of low pressure which brought the heavy rain, and also the thunderstorms and strong winds. we are now in a run of northerly winds, it is high pressure which will bring lots of sunshine but it is going to be noticeably

chilly right across the country, windy as well across northeastern scotland, eastern england — some big waves crashing onshore there. a few showers into the northern half of scotland, but elsewhere, after that cold start, it's going to be a sunny afternoon for most. just let a bit of cloud across the south—west, into northern ireland. those temperatures much lower than what we have been used to, around the mid—teens celsius at best, lower than that further north, but at least you have the sunshine to compensate. on to wednesday night, skies stay clear, with that cool air, temperatures will fall away again, down into single figures for many. a touch of frost across central and northern areas again. cloud tending to build up across the south—west, along with an increasing breeze, around 9 degrees or so for plymouth. you have probably heard about ex—hurricane lorenzo all week, this is the system pushing closer towards western ireland. it is going to bring a spell of gales, or severe gales, to western ireland with outbreaks of heavy rain. it does look now this system is going to move across the british isles

through thursday and friday. thursday starts off chilly but bright across central and eastern areas. a veil of cloud will be pushing in from the west, and those winds will be picking up around the irish sea coast, is reaching gale force by the end of the day. for many, it thus they dry further east. a chilly day in the north, temperatures perhaps creeping up a notch in the south. storm lorenzo continues to push south—eastwards across the country, weakening rapidly. it starts off very windy with gales, outbreaks of rain, the isobars spread out as those winds begin to ease down as the storm begins to begin. by the end of friday, it could be that many places will end dry, with a little bit of sunshine around perhaps, temperatures at 17 or 18 celsius in the south, mid—teens further north. low—pressure sticks with us for the weekend so we will see some spells of wind and rain at times, it will generally be on the mild side.

hello, you're watching afternoon live, i'm simon mccoy. today at two... a call for compromise from the eu — borisjohnson says his plans for the irish border are his "final offer", the only alternative, he says, is a no—deal brexit. yes, yes, this is a compromise by the uk and i hope very much that our friends understand that and compromise in their town. —— tone. as the duke and duchess of sussex end their tour of southern africa, they launch a court case against a sunday newspaper for publishing a private letter. hundreds of people in hong kong stage a sit—in at the school of a teenage activist shot by police during violent clashes. coming up on afternoon live, all the sport. manchester city's bernardo silva has been charged with misconduct by the
