time for a look at the weather prospects with helen willetts. ferocious was the word to describe the winds last night in the south, but i want to look at october's rainfall because although it has been average, we are heading in the right direction, if you like. it has actually been well above average in northern ireland and the rainfall figures for last night and yesterday are still being collated. changeable describes our weather for the next few days, another area of deep pressure barrels and tomorrow. that rain hangs around in the south. more low pressure on thursday before finally, a drier day on friday, but it doesn't last, with more rain waiting in the wings. heading in the right direction, as i say. this chart shows the accumulation of rainfall over the coming few days. the blues get deeper as that rainfall the total up, perhaps as much as 50 millimetres in many places by the end of the week, particularly higher ground, but a good 20 or 30 at lower levels. the showers are bringing a lot of rain. of showers are bringing a lot of rain. of course, it is not guaranteed for all, but we have lots of
1:32 pm
thunderstorms around at the moment with these showers and gusty winds too, still gusting at a0 or 50 mph in the south. so drier in northern england and scotland. and drier in northern ireland, but look at the temperatures. they should be between ten and i3 temperatures. they should be between ten and 13 at this time of year, so still mild. but not quite as mild tonight. after midnight, the showers fade away for a short period, so we could see single digit figures. perhaps a bit of grass frost and mistiness first thing in the morning. but again, more wind and rain are on the way. widely windy. inland gales, severe gale force winds forecast rounding off the coast and several hours of persistent rain. it doesn't look as if it will reach the south—east until after dark, so pleasant but windy here. elsewhere, some atrocious driving conditions and still mild, although tempered by the fact that we have those strong winds and heavy rain. once the rain
1:33 pm
finally reaches the south and east on thursday, it hangs around. uncertainty is often the case with these waving weatherfronts about how long it will last and where it will hang around. but it looks like there are lots of showers and perhaps a dry window of whether elsewhere, and temperatures close to the seasonal norm. we haven't seen that for a while, but again, it doesn't last. before one fronts move in for the weekend, we might have a dry spell of weather on friday. but more rain is on the way. of weather on friday. but more rain is on the way-— of weather on friday. but more rain is on the way. that's all from the bbc news at one. good afternoon. it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news... let's start in brisbane, australia, where england have
1:34 pm
kept their hopes of a semi final spot at the men's t20 world cup alive, with a 20—run win over new zealand. england, batting first, knew a win would put them back in the top two, and boost their chances of a semi—final spot. jos buttler with an entertaining innings, making 73 off a7 balls as england finished on 179—6. with new zealand on 65—2, moeen ali dropped a simple catch off glenn phillips, who went on to make 62, but was eventually caught in the 18th over off the bowling of sam curren as nz reached 159—6. i thought we put in a good performance. anytime you take on new zealand you know you are in for a tough challenge, but i'm proud of the guys tonight. must wind game and to come out with the freedom to express ourselves and show off our talent, i was proud of the character we showed.
1:35 pm
in an hour, the women's rugby league cup gets under way in leeds. hosts england to begin their campaign against brazil at headingley will be working to stop the dominance of australia and new zealand, who have won every edition of the competition so far. england captain emily rudge will lead the side out at headingley — in front of an expected crowd of is—thousand — in the fourth world cup of her career. despite not being a professional side, they'll look to capitalise on what has been a great year so far for women's sport. seeing the lioness is and what they achieved was massively inspirational for us. hopefully if we can replicate that, how incredible that would be for the sport and for the women's game. hopefully we can inspire young girls to be women's game. hopefully we can inspire young girls to he want to be part of rugby league and to want to play the sport, so that is definitely something in the back of our minds that we are also trying to achieve. so yes, it's really exciting. tottenham insist they're fully prepared as they get ready to take on marseille tonight in the champions league —
1:36 pm
without suspended manager antonio conte. spurs need just a point if they're to reach the knockout stages of the competition, but can expect a real cauldron—like atmosphere. conte was sent off in the closing moments of their last group match against sporting lisbon. everyone is well aware, the staff is well prepared, and we all know that we need to help each other. for me, it's not a difficult situation. it's maybe a different situation, but, you know, we know what to do. we are well aware of the situation. jurgen klopp's also in the spotlight — his side are 15 points behind the leaders in the premier league but have qualified for the knockout stage of the champions league already. they host italian league leaders napoli later. manchester city manager pep guardiola has confirmed that erling haarland won't play in their champions league match against sevilla tomorrow. the 22—year—old was forced to sit out manchester city's trip to leicester city on saturday after suffering a combination of illness and injury. his manager says he's not
1:37 pm
yet back in training, but he's hopeful he'll feature against fulham on saturday. city have already qualified for the last 16. british number two dan evans has won at the paris masters for the first time in his career — beating brandon nakashima 6—3, 3—6, 6—a to move through to round two, where he'll face stefanos tsitsipas. he's joined in the last 32 by fellow brit jack draper who beat france's arthur rinderknech in straight sets 6—3, 6—a. the 20—year—old, ranked a5 in the world, will play american frances tiafoe next. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. thank you. more sport over the course of the afternoon, of course. good afternoon to you. let's take a look at some of the main story is here this lunchtime.
1:38 pm
more now on the home secretary, suella braverman, facing growing criticism for the way people are treated when they arrive on the kent coast illegally. but what do the the local residents think about it? graham satchell has been to meet some of them. the white cliffs of dover have always been more than just a landmark. they are a symbol of home — the first sight of england for returning travellers. today they are also the first thing migrants see, as they arrive in small boats. almost a0,000 have reached the coast so far this year. on dover high street, there is a mix of anger and frustration. a lot of people have just had enough. i feel sorry for the people that are being exploited. but, hey, you know, that's costing about £5 million a day in hotel rooms. so, something needs to be done. do you feel any sympathy for the people who are making their way over in small boats? some of them, yeah, because they've they've left war—torn countries, but places like albania
1:39 pm
are quite safe. and why don't they seek refuge in the first country they come to? to me, it is getting out of hand. they say they're coming in because they're refugees, but a lot of them are not. they've come from a safe country. now, my understanding, if you come from a safe country, you're not a refugee. you're a migrant, you know. a working man's club in dover, where the world is put to rights over a pint and a game of pool. the view here at the heart of the crisis is uncompromising. i think the majority of the people don't want it. no, they don't want them here. definitely don't want them here. send them back. if they can't do that, i don't know what the solution is, really. behind the bar, chantelle is worried that in the clamour for something to be done, genuine refugees will be overlooked. they're very desperate people,
1:40 pm
trying to get a better life. and i feel like if that's the lengths that they need to go through to try and get that, then i'm fine. i'd do the same for my family. and the way i look at it is all the surrounding countries that surround syria and other places, there's millions — millions of refugees and migrants there. that's nothing compared to the small numbers that are coming here. for people in dover, this crisis is very close to home. just over a week ago, two migrant boats landed on this beach under the white cliffs. one of the occupants, an albanian teenager, ended up in sue doyle's front room. it's left her traumatised. i don't want to be here any more. it's just... i was terrified. you don't know. you don't know what they're going to do. and it is scary. back on the high street, there is a clear understanding that there are no easy answers.
1:41 pm
i haven't got a solution. what's got to happen? despite all the hot air that's going on in various countries, in various governments, there's no uniformed approach. and until you get a uniformed approach, you're not going to get a solution. people in dover have been living with this crisis for years. yesterday, the home secretary herself described the system as broken and out of control. graham satchell, bbc news, dover. former health secretary matt hancock has lost the conservative whip after announcing that he is heading to the australian jungle to take part in this year's series of i'm a celebrity...get me out of here. he'sjoining the likes of boy george and chris moyles on the reality series, which starts this weekend. harry cole from the sun broke the story.
1:42 pm
he spoke to my colleague tanya beckett earlier. he says he is doing it for charity. he says he is doing it to raise awareness for his campaign for dyslexia, but you do not do this without realising it is going to be controversial. when nadine dorries in 2013 did something similar, catching the party off guard, flying out to australia without telling anyone, she did lose the whip, so the precedent was there. that said, mr hancock's team put out a long statement in the last couple of minutes, last half hour or so, saying that actually he had already spoken to the whips, he was aware of this and thinks it is a good thing. he thinks that politics is quite stable now with the new prime minister, rishi sunak, so off he went. it has been noted however that he did miss out on a job in the reshuffle last week and he was running to be chairman of the powerful house of commons treasury committee and he has now obviously pulled out of that race and sits as an independent. he might think this is good timing, but not everybody
1:43 pm
in his party might agree. the deputy chairman of west suffolk conservative association, block your ears now if you have a sensitive disposition, has said, "i look forward to seeing matt hancock eating a kangaroo's penis. " yes, look, politicians do not tend to have a particularly good run on this show, they tend to be quite vilified, the public like to vote them into doing some of the more unseemly tasks, so it is a bold thing for matt hancock to do. he has developed a sort of celebrity of his own in the wake of his affair last year, more than a year ago now, which made him sort of quite famous for westminster. obviously he was front and centre of the pandemic response, fronting up those news conferences all the time, and i think he has a book out, dare i say, in december, so all the stars are aligning there. right, well, speaking
1:44 pm
of having books out, liz truss, a biography, and what revelations might emerge in this biography? all i can say is the remarkable rise and very rapid fall can be told for the first time and a lot of the clues were there. this was a politician that had flaws, that was controversial, that the tory party elected knowing all of those things and reaped the whirlwind of that, but it has been an interesting couple of months trying to work out where to end the story before it came to a very natural and rapid conclusion. i feel you are sidestepping my question about what revelations might emerge in your book about liz truss. i have just seen the word espresso machine, hopefully it gets more salacious than that? it does, rather. it is a question of not just salacious stories, of which there are many in the book, but also an explanation of how
1:45 pm
something goes wrong so quickly and actually a direct line that can be drawn between the choices she made to not tell the whole truth about the scale of her ambition led to the catastrophic results that we saw in the markets in the days and weeks after her mini budget. harry cole from the sun newspaper, talking about liz truss and matt hancock. just a reminder now of the headlines here on bbc news. conditions at a migrant processing centre in kent are described as wretched as a watchdog calls on the government to get a grip of the situation. there is more debate about a windfall tax after the oil giant bp reports global profits of more than £7 billion in the three months to september. and, as we were just hearing, former health secretary matt hancock has been suspended as a conservative mp after revealing he is going to be on i'm a celebrity get me out of here.
1:46 pm
now we will take a look at some stories making the news across the uk. avon fire and rescue service is warning people not to take unnecessary risks when trying to find cheaper ways of keeping warm. higher energy bills mean some of us will opt for lighting fires, rather than switching the heating on — and sales of woodburners are on the rise. but, as ali vowles reports, there are concerns that some will cut corners with safety. getting the chimney swept ready for the first fire. so far, nick miller has resisted lighting his wood burner, but now feels it is the cheapest way of keeping the family warm. more in the forefront of our minds
1:47 pm
this year than ever before is that i put a jumper on or put the fire on rather than turn the heating on because of the prices of gas as doubled. for the sweep, he has never been busier and said wood burners get his vote over open fires. there is no eco friendly way of heating your house, but they are better than an open fire for example, or in my opinion, better than burning gas, which is a fossil fuel and if you are burning properly seasoned wood, the output is minimal. here at this workshop in bristol they have been restoring and making bespoke fireplaces for over 30 years. but look around the showroom and they are also selling plenty of wood burners which the owner thinks is by far the better option. we have noticed a massive increase because of the energy crisis going on, in stoves and in open fires. people recommissioning their open fires and
1:48 pm
that is where i feel there may be an issue as far as air quality goes because they are 90 to 300 times more polluting than a like for like basis with a stove. the fire service are aware people are increasingly looking for alternatives which can cause problems. we are seeing increased incidents where people have dragged out an old electric heater and used it and whether that is smoking off for a reason or there is faults with the connections, and with a log burner in that kind of thing, we urge people to make sure they are fitted correctly using a corgi registered installer because you have the issue with carbon monoxide poisoning of the fumes are not carried away correctly. to burn or not to burn. for many, it seems like the cheapest way to stay warm this winter, but whatever you do, the advice is be careful. "systemic action" is needed to alleviate poverty if welsh and local government are to meet
1:49 pm
the scale of the challenge, the wales audit office says. its latest report says the current cost—of—living crisis means that families who've been living comfortably are moving into poverty for the first time. imagine a food bank which actually cooks your meals and then delivers to your door. that is one of the services offered by the social enterprise in flintshire. it provides food for those struggling to feed themselves and their families. i think the lack of food is the biggest social crisis that we have. good food should be an absolute right. we should not have children going hungry, households going hungry. if we can subsidise our meals to make them affordable, the government, just like it has done with utilities, can subsidise good food, so it is affordable to everybody. the wales audit office points to enterprises like this, saying with greater coordination
1:50 pm
and planning, local authorities should tap into resources to feed more people in desperate straits. they add the cost of living crisis is pushing more people into poverty, including many working families for the first time. the report recognises efforts made by local and welsh government so far but improvements must still be made. through the pandemic, we saw how public money could be used with a lighter touch and a greater appetite for risk and that comes from with some risk necessarily and we need to make sure that the controls are still in place but we need also to balance that against the reality of needing to get money to the front line and not tie ourselves up in bureaucracy. the welsh government says it is doing all it can to tackle poverty with targeted support but can't protect everyone given the financial problems left by the uk government's mishandling of finances little the uk, and says it is
1:51 pm
protecting the most vulnerable with at least £1200 of direct payments. the welsh local government association says councils have an unshakeable commitment to improving communities but face major shortfalls and budgets. this woman is now working on the enterprise after learning to cook on a course. she is now eating better and teaching others to do the same. i found that buying fresh ingredients has worked out a lot cheaper than buying ready meals and things like that. we have a meal plan in advance, so we know what sort of ingredients we need. charlene and her colleagues know that and out only go so far. the wales audit office agrees and says a clearer, less bureaucratic way for people to access the welfare services they need will help many avoid the poverty trap.

1:55 pm
the etymologist, susie dent, explained the evolution of the word �*permacrisis'. so the word of the year is permacrisis. i think most of us will probably understand it. unprecedented has run out of steam. annus horribilis is limited to just one year. most of us feel we have descended into something horrible for some time. permacrisis seems entirely fitting. permacrisis, right. what is the definition of permacrisis? it is a sort of ongoing feeling that we are in an extended period of, i don't know, instability, insecurity, anxiety, because it is one catastrophic event after another. it's something that describes an unrelenting situation, which, you know, i think feels
1:56 pm
probably quite apt for 2022. susie dent talking about permacrisis on bbc breakfast a little earlier today. that's because right now and take a look at the weather prospects. good afternoon. our changeable weather pattern continues. october for most has brought average rainfall but well in excess for northern ireland. tuesday will see lots of rain in the south, and it is an unsettled pattern for much of the week. this chart shows the rainfall accumulating over the next four or five days. quite significant rainfall for most parts of the british isles actually for the next four or five days. so, where those showers come down throughout the rest of the afternoon, they will bring a lot of rain, strong and gusty winds, a0—50 mph in places, perhaps fewest in northern england
1:57 pm
and eastern scotland, but still quite wet for the northern isles. temperatures are lower than those of yesterday, and as we go through the evening and overnight, the showers will slowly fade away. more after midnight for most of us and the next rain already sweeping into northern ireland. in between, it is a quieter period of weather with temperatures down to single figures, so a cooler night and a touch of grass frost around in the north in particular. a bit of mist and fog first thing tomorrow morning if you are travelling through the rush—hour. it should not last long because the wind is strengthening all the time, and heavy rain will pile in across northern ireland once again on saturated ground, and it will push in through the morning across northern and western parts of scotland, probably through the central belt and into parts of wales and northern england by the time we get to the end of the morning it is unlikely to reach east anglia and the south—east until after dark. disruptive winds are possible, gas inland a0—50 mph, —— gusts. severe gale force winds around the irish coast. the warnings can be
1:58 pm
found on the website. still mild, 11—16. that low pressure starts to blow out into the north sea but it leaves a legacy of rain on wednesday night and into thursday across southern areas. we don't know how long it'll take to clear away, but it could give significant rain for a time into south—east england and east anglia. showers rushing in behind, but some drier weather in between, and temperatures back down to the seasonal average, or closer to them we have been for some time. by the end of the week, by friday, a ridge of high pressure so a quieter spell for a day, a drier day, but more rain is forecast.
