though the critics sometimes sneered. the thin skinned miller took that badly, perversely claiming he was underappreciated in britain. i get asked to do things now much less than i used to. i mean in england, i don't get asked to do anything. some indeed thought him too clever by half. his versatility made him a figure of fun. it didn't stop him, late in life, starting to make abstract sculptures out of metal. if you are here singing i think you need to be a little bit more facing that direction. he was an egotist who could be devastatingly rude, but he was also a superb educator and entertainer, playful, occasionally pretentious, rarely predictable. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. iam sounding i am sounding like a broken record,

another day in november and again the risk of heavy rain. we have had some already in suffolk and this is the radar picture showing a persistent area of brain in eastern areas of england and some lengthy downpours heading across south—east england. looking very wet this afternoon for a time. the north midlands could stay dry and northern ireland as well and through the central belt of scotland. overnight tonight the rain continues to pour down from lincolnshire across yorkshire and into northumberland. we could have some surface water flooding issues. then overnight the rain turning more persistent across south—east scotland. also some scattered showers across the north of scotland, wales and southern counties of england but not too

significant. for thursday at low pressure pushes away east. is that clear as a way we draw in northerly winds across the north of the uk and with that much colder air and eventually drier conditions. before we get that for thursday another cloudy day with some rain around. the heaviest across the north of england and wales to the day. to the south temperatures are run 10 celsius but across northern areas as the sunshine comes out the temperatures start to drop. highs of around 6 degrees in edinburgh. with clearer skies were looking at a widespread frost and a cold start to the day on friday. a bit of cloud and some rain across the south—west to start with but for many it is a dry date with plenty of sunshine. some showers for the north of scotla nd some showers for the north of scotland and running down some north sea coastal counties. temperatures cold for the time of year. now i
1:33 pm
think this is the first large—scale area of high pressure that we've seen all month. this will bring a significant change, some much drier conditions with just a few showers around. there could be some rain in the far south of the uk on saturday but for most it is a fairly prolonged spell of dry weather. that is the latest weather. a reminder of our top story... the snp launches its election manifesto — saying it's time to put scotland's future in scotland's hands — and hold another independence referendum next year. that's all from the bbc news at one — so it's goodbye from me — and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are.

jose mourinho made it two wins out of two as spurs manager and watched his side qualify for the knockout stage of the champions league. tottenham were 2—0 down against olympiakos before pulling one back. they then had to thank a quick thinking ball boy who got the ball back in play to help spurs equalise. harry kane got the final touch and the ball boy a thank you. kane then got his secoind — and spurs fourth — to seal victory. kane is the quickest to reach 20 champions league goals. so, a great night for spurs in the end, but forget harry kane or dele alli. the real hero of the night had to be the ball boy. the kid is a very good ball boy. he understands the game, reads the game, he is not dangerous to look to the stands are the lights, he is
1:35 pm
there, reading the game and playing there, reading the game and playing the game very well. i wanted to invite him to the dressing room to celebrate with us at the end, but he disappeared. very good ball boy, very good. meanwhile, manchester city booked their place in the knockout stage for the seventh consecutive season, despite a disappointing 1—1 draw at home shakthar donetsk. the took the lead through ilkay gundogan. but shakthar hit back to earn themselves a point and at least give their 300 travelling fans a momento for their 2,000 mile journey back to ukraine. chelsea and liverpool are in champions league action this evening, while tomorrow night the europa league returns. manchester united travel to astana with 19—year—old defender max taylor in the squad. for taylor, it's the latest stage in a remarkable story of resilience and mentalfortitude after being diagnosed with testicular cancer a year ago. i think ithinka i think a massive thing that i want
1:36 pm
people to take from me going through the cancer is that the fact that i beat cancer, i don't want that to be what people remember me for. that is a part of me, but that will not define what i do. what do you want people to remember you for? hopefully is a great person, great footballer and someone who gives back. ben stokes has given his wholehearted support tojoe root after the england ca ptain‘s disappointing performance in the first test against new zealand. root made just two and ii at the bay oval and has dropped out of the top 10 of the test batting rankings for the first time since august 2014. several critics have suggested captaining the side has affected root‘s batting. he has the backing of everyone in the changing room. that is the most important thing, to him as a captain and to us as players in general. the only thing that matters is the
1:37 pm
changing room vibe. everything else outside of that is just noise. years england captain. he is the best player in england. he knows that. he has the full support of us in the changing room. former australia player israel folau has upped his demands for compensation from rugby australia following his high—profile sacking. folau is suing after being fired for making anti—gay remarks on social media. he's now demanding the equivalent of {7.4 million. folau — who is a christian — argues that the termination of his contract is a case of religious discrimination. wbo super—middleight champion callum smith says it would makes sense to fight wbc champion billyjoe saunders next. smith narrowly retained his title, seeing offjohn ryder on saturday. both he and saunders want to fight saul "canelo" alvarez next, but smith believes an all—british match—up would be
1:38 pm
a great alternative. he isa he is a world champion, i am a world champion. we are both british and undefeated. it is a fight that has generated a lot of interest in the public. i think a fight with each other makes sense. i will sit down with my team and see what fight we can deliver. either way, with my team and see what fight we can deliver. eitherway, it with my team and see what fight we can deliver. either way, it should bea can deliver. either way, it should be a good fight. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. i will have a full round—up at 6:30pm. more now on the death of celebrity chef gary rhodes. he died in dubai aged 59.
1:39 pm
famous for his distinctive, spiky hairstyle and his love of british cuisine, gary rhodes was a regular on television, presenting programmes including masterchef. let's see a little bit of gary rhodes in action. if you are worried about those egg whites, why notjust make some meringues? nothing wasted, really tasty. baked custard tart, let's put him to one side, let's finish the dish. this is the moment i have been waiting for. we are going to take a lovely slice from this! now, of course, all we need is the ice cream. here is another little tip. whenever you are putting ice cream onto a flat plate and not a bowl, just dust it with icing sugar, which is a nice garnish, but also stops your ice cream rolling all over the plate. there we are. well, in a statement gary rhodes‘ family said they were "deeply saddened to announce the passing of a beloved husband, father and brother." the family added that they would like to thank everyone for their support and asked
1:40 pm
for privacy at this time. some tributes have been posted online. .. celebrity chef gordon ramsay has said... chef paul ainsworth trained under gary rhodes. he's been talking to my colleague annita mcveigh. it is one of those things, you just cannot believe it. gary was a huge part of my life. that is where it all started for me,
1:41 pm
that was my first proper chef's job in london, with gary. and what was he like to work with? tell us about what you learned from him. i was born in southampton. i trained at southampton college first my college lecturer was godfather to gary's children, and gary was opening a restaurant in london. i was just leaving college but i had no money to kind of put a deposit down on a bedsit or anything in london, so gary put me up in the hotel where the restaurant was located for three months. he let me earn all of my wages until i had enough money to get my first kind of digs, if you like, in london. thatjust goes to show what kind of a man he was. and then when you worked for him, he was, for me, the first, you know, celebrity chef. when i first met him, i was actually quite overwhelmed by his hair! he was, like, the first famous person i ever met.
1:42 pm
when gary was filming, he was filming and you would not see him, but when he was in the kitchen, no matter what time i got there, if i was walking in at 6:30am, gary was there turning potatoes. he was first one in, last one out. what he taught me about cooking, like, the tributes that have been paid, like what gordon ramsay said, he was the true pioneer of british gastronomy. where are we stand now on buying british, buying local, you know, ingredient—led cooking, nothing was ever on the plate that should not be there with gary. that is what i learned from him. he was the true master of simplicity. but behind—the—scenes, the work that went into these dishes was phenomenal. and what seems so normal now, he was so far ahead of his time. and, as you say, the hair! when i heard the news, i straightaway thought about the hair. i saw that image of the hair,
1:43 pm
the smile, and, in my mind, one of those first tv chefs, i think, who really made such a big impression on the wider public. let's talk more about his championing of british cuisine, because, at that point, perhaps that was not something that was particularly in fashion, was it? it was not. we were very influenced, when i came into cooking, in this country, by french cuisine. and when i worked for gary, he was about celebrating those dishes, like pies, fish and chips, treats like jaffa cakes, bourbon biscuits. he then made them his own. my fondest memory, still to this day, as a chef, there are certain things you taste as a chef that they live with you forever, and i started working with gary and he had bred in putting on the menu traditionally,
1:44 pm
this is bread that is buttered, raisins and egg mixture poured over and beaten in the oven. gary treated it like a proper custard, so he made his own and very few chefs do that. lots of chef replicate and come up with dishes that they have been influenced by, but he was a real pioneer. he would invent things to stop this bread—and—butter pudding, i had been there seven months and finally i got a taste of it and i had never tasted something that was... it was just... it blew my mind! and that is what i loved about him. it was the way that not only was he a pioneer in what he wanted to do for british cooking, it was the way that he came up with things, he invented things, he was my... the escoffier of my generation. pauline is worth speaking to the bbc this morning. he trained under gary rhodes, who has died at the age of 59. --
1:45 pm
rhodes, who has died at the age of 59. —— paul ince worth. the european parliament has voted overwhelmingly to approve its new executive — led by the first woman president of the eu commission, germany's ursula von der leyen. they'll play a key role in shaping how the organisation goes forwards — and, if the new boss, gets her way, it will be a group where men and women are given equal prominence. it isa it is a team with almost, almost, as many women as men. only one woman away from gender balance. this shows... this shows we have made real progress, but also that we still have to do more. for the first time since the early 19705, there'll be no commissioner from the uk. borisjohnson, determined to complete the first phase of brexit by the end of january has declined to make an appointment. ursula von der leyen made this comment about that, to the applause of brexit party meps. honourable members, we all know that
1:46 pm
one member of our family honourable members, we all know that one member of ourfamily intends honourable members, we all know that one member of our family intends to leave a reunion. some applause. a vast majority of this house seems to be very happy that a small minority of this house would not be able to clap that loudly. applause. the mexican government is seeking clarification after president trump said he would designate mexico's drug cartels as terrorist organisations.
1:47 pm
under us law, individuals linked to terrorist organisations are banned from entering the country and have their assets in the us seized. rich preston reports. president trump made the comments during an interview with bill o'reilly, the us news host. during an interview with bill o'reilly, the us news hostlj during an interview with bill o'reilly, the us news host. i will be designating the mexican cartels. that will be a big story. mr trump has often hit out at their southern neighbour. they are bringing drugs, bringing crime, the rapists. some, i assume, are good people. there was a key campaign promise for a great big border wall. we are going to secure oui’ border wall. we are going to secure our border and stop the drugs from pouring in and destroying our country. mr trump says his administration has been working at branding the foreign cartels as terrorists for some time. an attack
1:48 pm
in mexico killed three women and six children. the foreign minister in mexico tweeted to say mexico would never allow any action which violated their sovereignty. if it does go ahead, the cartels would come into the same league as is. there are serious implications. any contact with the group would be seen as supporting terrorism. it gives us authorities an opportunity to impose travel bans. it means that any contact with that organisation, any type of support, is no longerjust buying drugs or weapons, it is no longer a violation of drugs laws or
1:49 pm
anti—money—laundering laws, it is now supporting terrorism. that is a much more serious offence. the headlines on bbc news: nicola sturgeon has launched the snp manifesto, saying borisjohnson is unfit for office and his proposed brexit deal would be a nightmare for scotland. the labour party say they have documents proving that the nhs is on the table in any future uk—us trade talks. gary rhodes, the celebrity chef, has died aged 59. his family say he died yesterday with his beloved wife jennie by his side. the british beauty council is calling for an independent body to be set up to investigate claims of bullying and unfair dismissal in the industry, which does not have a trade union. it comes after the bbc‘s victoria derbyshire programme uncovered cases of bullying across all levels of the industry. ellie costello reports.
1:50 pm
the british beauty council is calling for an independent body the beauty industry is big business. it contributed £14] billion to the uk economy last year, overtaking motor manufacturing and publishing. but the bbc has learnit allegations of abuse and bullying rife within the industry. i've spoken with more than 20 people who work in the british beauty industry who claim to be victims of bullying. most of them say they are too afraid to go on record. they stem from director level of companies to make up artist on the shop floors of department stores. i've heard accusations of abuse, blackmail and psychological bullying. most of them say they are too afraid to go on record. they stem from director level of companies to make up artist on the shop floors of department stores. i've heard accusations of abuse, blackmail
1:51 pm
and psychological bullying. many of the people we spoke to were made to sign a nondisclosure agreement, often in exchange for a pay—out when they left theirjobs. it means it's difficult for victims to speak out about their experience. one of those people is nicole, but she says she wants her story to be told. she was an exec of a top beauty brand we would all be familiar with. nicole says after coming back from having a baby, she was told that she should leave. we've changed her name and an actress is saying her words. i was in floods of tears and sick to my stomach and i really couldn't get out of bed. i was absent as a parent. i basically believed everything they told me. i believed i was a bad person. i was diagnosed with depression, stress and burn—out. i spent time in a facility. zak is a freelance make—up artist. he loves his job now but he hasn't always found it easy. being a guy in the make up industry kind of goes against what women think you can do,
1:52 pm
which is sad. there's a lot of times where it was, are you sure you want him to do your make—up? he's a guy, he won't know how to do your make up. you talk about fitting a mould and if you don't, you are out. yeah, my friend, we would work at this boutique and they asked her to not work on the front desk because they thought she was too ugly and too fat because she would stop people coming in. while it has no union, the british beauty council represents the voices, opinions and needs of the british beauty industry. we took our findings to them. it's heartbreaking actually, to think that an industry we are really trying to pull together is so at each other's throats. i think there needs to be some sort of ombudsman or industry body set up to make sure there's a place... safe place for people to go. the department of business said
1:53 pm
through the equalities act, employees are already protected against harassment in the workplace and they can always seekjustice at employment tribunals. ellie costello, bbc news. families who have lost children to gun and knife crime are using music to help cope with their loss. they've been asked to come together as part of a new group called project ceasefire. graham satchell has been finding out more. it seems to be happening all the time. this doesn't have an age, this doesn't have a gender, and this doesn't have a location. it's happening to anyone and everyone. # we need a ceasefire... singer—songwriter cecil‘s track ceasefire has been written with the help of families who have lost loved ones to knife crime. the families have come together to form a group called project ceasefire. their aim is to speak with one voice
1:54 pm
and to help each other. and what i am trying to do is bring everybody together. it's so much better to be around people who have gone through the same thing. a recording studio in east london, cecil is meeting two of the group. ricky webb, whose brother wasjust 15 when he was killed in manchester, and pete chesney, whose daughter jodie was stabbed in the back in march this year. the impact of my daughter's death has been catastrophic. i will never be the same. my family will never be the same. it is impossible to understand the pain that something like that causes, unless you have experienced it, and that's why it's really good to talk to other parents that are going through the same thing. for me, it hit me very hard. i felt like i didn't know what to do with myself any more. it was just hard. my family, my mum, everyone was just broken.
1:55 pm
it was just... it was hard, it was really hard. # thrown down from the sky like a lightning bolt... office for national statistics figures show knife crime in england and wales is an eight—year high. last week, a 19—year—old man was sentenced to 26 years in jail for the murder of pete's daughter. like the rest of the group, pete has been forced to think about the causes of knife crime, and the potential solutions. it's probable that the cuts to police officers on the street is not exactly helping, is it?
1:56 pm
if there are more police officers on the streets, then obviously this would be less... it would happen less, wouldn't it? i mean, that's an obvious thing. i think nowadays, for the young people, it's all about building yourself a name. like, you want to be the biggest person and the baddest person, but i don't get it. it doesn't really make sense. just — life is a gift. that's how i see it. life is a gift. you should just use it wisely. that's how i see things. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris. coming up from tpm, we will be remembering gary rhodes and jonathan miller. but now the latest weather.

hello, you're watching afternoon live, i'm carrie gracie. today at 2: the snp launches its election manifesto, warning that the uk may still leave europe without a deal and that there's brexit—related chaos to come. who should decide scotland's future? the people who live here or boris johnson? a vote for the snp on december 12th is a vote to escape brexit. the labour leader produces documents which he claims shows the government has discussed offering the united states access to the nhs after brexit. these documents confirm the us is demanding the nhs is on the table in the trade talks. these uncensored documents leave
