1:30 pm
here's chris fawkes. hello, and you might have heard that our weather is set to get a lot milder into the middle part of the week, temperatures could even hit 22 celsius. before you plan your trip to a sunny beach, not so fast, it might be very mild but it's also going to be very wet for the most part of the uk. this is the big picture. we have an area of low pressure in the atlantic, high pressure over toward the baltic. we get these mild south—easterly winds being drawn away from southern europe on wednesday, but we also have some weather fronts lurking and they will bring many of us some heavy outbreaks of rain. it will be quite windy as well. so yes, the weather may be getting milder over the next few days, but for quite a few of us, it will be the start of a wet and windy spell it will be the start of a wet and windy spell of it will be the start of a wet and windy spell of weather.
1:31 pm
it will be the start of a wet and windy spell of weather. lewis. it will be the start of a wet and windy spell of weather. lewis. thank ou, windy spell of weather. lewis. thank you. chris. — the online financial company revolut was named in more complaints about fraud last year than any of the uk's biggest banks?or e—money services. that's according to action fraud, the organisation responsible for reporting cybercrime. our business correspondent nina warhurst can tell us more. revolut offers financial services to its customers via an app, rather than having physical bank branches. 45 million customers worldwide. in the uk, it has gained popularity through its currency exchange services. recently, it was valued in the region of £34 billion. now, that is more than a number of the big banks, including barclays, but it has not been plain sailing. the company was named in more complaints about fraud last year than any of the uk's biggest banks or e—money services. nearly 10,000 — that's according to action fraud, that's the organisation responsible for reporting fraud and cyber crime. bbc panorama has been speaking to customers who say that scammers took tens of thousands of pounds
1:32 pm
from their accounts, and that revolut failed to protect them. marc ashdown reports. hi. good afternoon. am i speaking to laura bailey? speaking. this is a recording of a scam call. 0h, fantastic. my name is chris, calling from the revolut fraud prevention team. how are you doing today? the fraudsters pretending to be from revolut. his target was laura bailey. she sells running gearfrom a shop in lincolnshire and has an account with revolut. her phone line automatically recorded the conversation. she's listening back for the first time. let's go through the payment details with yourself now, the ones that are obviously flagged up. he asked me to go onto the website and do some checks. the fraudster tells laura her account is under attack and he's there to help. in reality, he's trying to get access to her money. he relentlessly kept saying he was trying to help me, that i shouldn't be worried. yes, it is definitely fraud. what this means is somebody
1:33 pm
might have your personal pins and passwords. the scammer convinced laura to download software he said would securely connect her computer to revolut, but in fact, it gave him remote access to her laptop. within seconds, my computer was flashing, my screens were flashing. i was like, "what are you doing?" he started transferring large chunks of money, £24,000 in total, draining her account in minutes. high street banks have systems that monitor routine customer behaviours which should, according to specialists, interrupt suspicious payments. so if somebody is suddenly processing a vast amount of transactions and processing a tonne of payments to either a new account or an account that they previously maybe had a few touch points with, it is something that is a red flag, and then banks should typically engage in some way with the customer to ensure that those transactions are, in fact, legitimate. revolut isn't a bank, at least not yet. it's one of a new breed of
1:34 pm
digital—only financial institutions. you do get a card, but you access services online or via an app. now, customers say they really like this ease and convenience. but last year, action fraud received almost 10,000 reports of fraud in which revolut was named. that was nearly 2,000 more than barclays, one of britain's biggest banks, and nearly double the number made about monzo, a similar sized e—money firm to revolut. revolut says it's invested heavily in its financial crime prevention team, which now makes up a third of its total global workforce and says it has robust controls to meet its legal and regulatory obligations. laura says she told revolut what happened, but they have not offered to reimburse any of the money she lost. the premise behind the chat from revolut afterwards that it was all my fault. last year, the financial 0mbudsman service received 3,500 complaints about revolut, more than any other
1:35 pm
bank or e—money firm. revolut says it can't comment on laura's case as it's being looked at by the ombudsman, but that each potential fraud case is fully investigated so it can make informed decisions. last week, new rules were introduced making it mandatory for all banks and payment companies to refund customers who've been tricked into sending scammers money, up to a maximum of £85,000. and after a three—year process, revolut has finally been granted a provisional banking licence by uk regulators that means within a year it could become britain's newest fully fledged bank, subjecting it to even tighter rules and regulations. that was our business correspondent marc ashdown reporting. and there'll be more on this story on bbc panorama tonight at eight o'clock on bbc one, and on iplayer. still to come on today's programme...
1:36 pm
they were extinct in europe for 6000 years but a new herd of bison, in kent, is showing early signs of thriving. now it's time to join our colleagues with the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday. ben stokes is back to captain england as they bid to take an unassailable 2—nil test series lead against pakistan craig bellamy�*s brave new era continues tonight as wales take on montenegro in the nations league and... can great britain claw their way back in the america's cup? new zealand stretched their lead to 3—nil before racing was abandoned on sunday
1:37 pm
hello and welcome to the programme. england captain ben stokes is fit to play in the second test against pakistan which gets underway tomorrow morning in multan. stokes injured his hamstring in august and has missed four tests, including england 5 record—breaking win in the first match last week. pakistan have made the more drastic changes to their squad though — after becoming the side with the highest first innings total to go on and lose a test by an innings. ben croucher reports. has been injured forfor a couple of months but he is has still got it, he is one of two changes from that innings victory in the text they were arrested and he comes in at sixth and will likely share bowling

1:40 pm
australia are already there after finishing top of group a. new zealand can book their spot in the last four with a win against pakistan later today. if pakistan win then the second semi—final place will be decided on net run—rate, with india also still in with a chance of qualifying. an england victory over west indies tomorrow will guarantee them top spot in group b and a place in the semis. a west indies win means net run rate will again come into play. expecting it to be a good game. um, looks like it's been a little bit easier conditions in dubai, so hopefully that comes to fruition for us. um, but yeah, i think we're just ready to get going. um, seal our place in the semi final hopefully and see what happens, especially with like the slow outfields. you've got to chase after every ball in the field. so you're doing that little bit extra as a whole team. um, but i think we've coped with it really well and we're going really strongly with it, so hopefully it's paid off. they've definitely got some big hitters in their squad.
1:41 pm
um, i think wejust need to stick to our basics, be ready to, uh, adapt to what we need to, especially with a new pitch. um, but i think we're confident to go and back our basic skills. football leagues across europe, and unions representing players, are lodging a formal legal complaint against the european commission, accusing fifa of breaking competition law and abusing their dominant position over fixtures. a number of high profile players have threatened to go on strike in recent weeks, with new competitions and more matches being played. our sports news correspondent laura scott is in brussels. 0nce once again, the issue of congestion is at the forefront of football. in recent weeks, we had the manchester city midfield warning that players might take strike action because of the bloated clap did calendar and i was just a few days before fracturing an acl. he was saying
1:42 pm
that he might have to rest players mid season because of what he called a bloated calendar. now, today, we will have fifa pro—europe which is the arm of the player trade union joining forces with the la liga and the collective group of european leagues which includes the premier league. they are lodging a complaint to the european commission, essentially calling for them to investigate fifa over what they call abusive conduct. relating to the dominance of the football calendar, they say that fifa is approaching a 30 two cup which has led to the cannibalisation of the leaks and the welfare of players. fifa reject this claim saying that they consulted with allstate holders on the formation of the calendar and they say that there has been hypocrisy amongst some mix of organised preseason vent friendlies and tours.
1:43 pm
it is difficult to say what exactly will come of this complaint given that the international match candour has been agreed until 2030, but what seems to be the priority for fifa is the reintroduction of imagination of enforced season breaks which in recent years has gone awry. those mid—season breaks just aren't really happening as much as they would like to see. from the leaks perspective, they say that there is value in scarcity, they don't want such a congested calendar because they say it actually defeats the value of their products. wales will look to continue their unbeaten start under coach craig bellamy when they take on montenegro in the nations league in cardiff this evening. bellamy is in the process of instilling an adventurous new style, which so far has resulted in two draws and a win. and like this is not like patronising. they're a good team and you know, they're difficult to prepare for.
1:44 pm
um, because they will leave space, then you're able to go and attack. but on the counter, just due to players not coming back for them, they're very dangerous again. so we have to really, um, we need to control the game with the ball and we need to control the tempo of the game, because if you don't, um, they have a lot of players who are very much into the transitional part of the game and really come alive. nations league, i really like i'm really happy and grateful for that as well. i know we used to have friendlies before, um, but i like this format because it allows players, you know, they're in and you know, we want to win. and like every other team in this group. the professional tennis players association is asking the grand slams and two main tours to pay for a legal defence fund for players. the association was co—founded by novak djokovic and aims to increase player power within the sport. it believes the four majors, the men's atp tour and women's wta tour should fund access
1:45 pm
to third—party lawyers, so financial resources are not a barrier to a speedy and authoritative defence. they claim it would make the system fairer for all players regardless of their ranking. in the america's cup, the great britain team led by sir ben ainslie have a mountain to climb if they are to win the trophy for the first time as they trail new zealand 4—0. weather conditions meant today's fourth race today was delayed from sunday after a lack of wind, but once again new zealand mastered the conditions to win by 300 metres over the british boat. they now need just three more wins to clinch the trophy. bbc.c0.uk / sport *all the nations league latest goodbye for now.
1:46 pm
with the rest of the bbc news at one. have a very good afternoon. bye—bye. from facing george best on the pitch to managing luton and spurs, david pleat�*s career in football featured many highs and a few lows over six decades. now he's released a book about his time in the game, which will raise money for research into motor neurone disease, having lost his wife to the illness. john watson went to meet him. david pleat on the right on the near side of the picture... david pleat has seen it all. as a manager, he made his name. as a player in the �*60s, he faced one of the best. yeah. george best played against us for manchester united at exeter in a cup tie. manchester won 3—1 as expected. georgie best! one of the players came into the dressing room prior
1:47 pm
to the game and said he's not playing. they'd seen him in his clothes in the corridor. and all the boys were quite elated. they were pleased best wasn't playing. but sure enough, at 3 o'clock there was a boy in the number seven shirt and it was george best, and manchester united beat exeter city 3—1. it was at luton, though, you made your name as a manager. and at the time, you had eric morecambe as a board member. i'm like a lucky charm a little bit, you know. j he was a wonderfully kind gentleman, obviously very funny. sometimes he would make jokes amongst the players where the players had pre—decided not to laugh and the joke was on eric. we used to say to him, "aren't you going to bring ernie?" ernie wise, his partner. and ernie wise wasn't particularly interested in football, and what eric more or less told us was that off the field or off the theatre, they weren't that sociable friends. they were just friends and wonderful partnership in the theatre.
1:48 pm
we don't want him. no, no. on top of that, he's too expensive, isn't he? . how much does he want? £35 and two luton players — you've seen at close hand as well the dark side of football hooliganism. one of the worst nights of violence in british football. the prime minister is demanding action. in 1985, when you were in charge of luton against millwall, a lot of crowd trouble. a selection of mindless idiots who are trying i to get the game stopped. that night was absolutely terrible. i mean, they weren't all millwall supporters. they were congregated from all london clubs. people were injured. people were hurt. people were bleeding in the tunnel. they were throwing billiard balls at people. it was unbelievable. they were ripping seats up. it was the most terrible night. from luton he would move to tottenham before working under lord alan sugar, who became chairman of the club. alan had the answer to everything. he's a very, very clever man, alan sugar. he's a visionary, you know. sugar said to them we're having all this money from sky and it kept increasing and increasing. he said it would be like prunejuice! it will all go to the players.
1:49 pm
he said we should retain 60% for salaries, 40% into a fund for grassroots, academies, a fighting fund maybe for later. one of the best moments, i guess, in your career with luton as manager was when you famously kept them up back in 1983. there's that memorable shot of you stepping out onto the pitch, having beaten manchester city to secure your safety. yeah, i sometimes...doesn't make me... i'm happy that, of course you score a last minute goal and you run on the field like a crazy kangaroo or something. whirling dervish, they called me. i don't know what they called me. but the emotion does take over you sometimes in football. is there anything quite like that emotion? is there anything else in life that can replicate that feeling we saw that day? to score a goal in the last minute, it's irretrievable. 0r usually — nine times out of ten, for sure. yeah. and, you know, that's the end of the week's work or whatever it is
1:50 pm
and winning and losing is everything in football. some people live or die by the football results. now, we all know about the world cup when it comes to football, but how about the world cup of british railway stations? 48 are in the running — and last year weems bay, in inverclyde, was voted as the favourite. 0ur scotland reporter catriona renton went to find out why. every year, railway stations from all over the uk compete to be voted passengers' favourite destination, with one of them crowned top of the stops. so we've come here to weems bay railway station to find out why it was a winner and what makes it so special. it's very handy for both the ferry and the rail. and it's quite beautiful, isn't it? yes, they spent a lot of money on it and did a very good job. i love it, it's so victorian.
1:51 pm
it's like essence of of victorian style. lovely. love it. just everything about it. it'sjust different from any other station. and the walkway down to the ferries. it's kept it's— oldy worldy look about it. it's really lovely. the station was originally opened in 1865 and rebuilt in the early 1900s. throughout the first half of the 20th century, in the summer holidays, people came here in their thousands by train to catch the boat to local islands like bute. bobby here depicts one of the many children who would be off on his holidays. i mean, they actually designed it, what they call a lazy s curve. right. so like s shapes so that there's no bottlenecks so they can move huge numbers of people. so it was really, really busy. really, really busy. in 1957, there was 10,000 people
1:52 pm
in an hour on fair saturday. simon is part of friends of wemyss bay station, who for the last 15 years have been involved in bringing it back to its former glory. so how did it feel to win the world cup of stations? very honoured. i mean, it's not for us as individuals. it's for the station, really. and that's why we all do it. we're all volunteers. we all love being in the station. being around the station. people come in with a smile on their face when they see the station. the group run a second hand book shop in what were the old first class waiting rooms to raise funds for their work in the station. you obviously have put a lot of love into finding out the history and restoring as much as you can so that people can see it. we're so proud of it. and when people come and say, isn't this a beautiful station? we're just...it really makes you feel proud. it's just the most amazing place people are really astonished when they come here and they walk in and theyjust, you know. can see why you won.
1:53 pm
yes, absolutely. that's right. we deserved it. but who will be the deserving winner this year? we'll find out later this month. catriona renton, bbc news. a wildlife project in kent is celebrating the doubling of its new bison herd — from three to six. now bridges are being built to allow the animals more space, and give visitors a better chance of spotting them. 0ur reporter, charlie rose, has the story. it is an extraordinary sight. bison back in blean woods, boosting biodiversity. but big animals like these need a big space in which to roam, especially when the herd is growing. so huge pedestrian bridges are being built to expand the site from 50 hectares, about the size of 50 rugby pitches, to 200. this is the first bridge being constructed out of four bridges that are going to link together all of our bison compartments, ourareas where our european bison currently are living, and they're part of our wilding approach to west blean here to help manage the site in as natural way as possible.
1:54 pm
bison became extinct in britain 6,000 years ago, but were reintroduced here in 2022 as part of a pioneering restoration project to improve the woodland ecosystem. if you're wondering where the bison are today, well, they're somewhere behind this very high security fence. that's because they fall under the dangerous wild animals act, and these woods are crisscrossed with public footpaths. so to get around that, walkers will use the bridges while also getting a better vantage point to watch the animals explore their much larger home. in places like mainland europe, the space to roam would be limitless, wouldn't it? so is even 200 hectares enough for these huge beasts? well, it's a good question. 200 hectares is still a limited space, so obviously we will always have a limited number of bison within that landscape. and it's quite important that we're all fully aware of that. so we don'tjust let the herd grow
1:55 pm
and grow so that they're out—utilising all of the resources that are available — that is very carefully managed through the breeding programme. the project is costing £1 million, paid for by a number of public bodies and private donors. but those behind it hope that one day, the fences can be taken down to allow people to walk among the bison here, just like they did thousands of years ago. charlie rose, bbc news. now the weather with chris. we have some very big contrasts in our weather through the rest of this afternoon. the northern england, scotland and northern ireland, lows of sunshine after a cold and frosty start, but it's not like that everywhere. further south, we have seen some heavy outbreaks of rain. that has cleared out of the way now but we are left with a lot of low
1:56 pm
cloud and pretty extensive patches of drizzle around across the midlands, southern england and into parts of east anglia. temperatures generally running below average for the time of year, 11—13. 0vernight tonight, the low cloud moves northwards reaching northern england and northern ireland through the night. they will be some hill fog batches in the cloud will be thick enough for occasional spots of drizzle. temperature is slowly coming up through the night for some. scotland still a bit colder with an odd patch of frost in the countryside. tomorrow, expect a cloudy day for most areas of the uk. there could be glimpses of hazy sunshine coming through for a few of you. probably the brightest weather in the far north of scotland, but otherwise the drizzle clearing away through the morning to give a largely dry afternoon. temperatures climbing so it will be turning increasingly mild. that's the trend we see into wednesday as well. sandwiched between the low and high
1:57 pm
pressure, we get mild south—easterly winds but pulling up these weather fronts so it's notjust going to be very mild, it's also going to be very mild, it's also going to be very wet. the rain always heaviest across the western areas. there could be some parts of east anglia that avoid the rain, may be have some hazy sunshine, with temperatures potentially up to 22. for much of the uk, temperatures into the high teens and the rain will be extensive and heavy so probably not everyone's favourite kind of weather for wednesday. probably not everyone's favourite kind of weatherfor wednesday. into thursday we see another change in the weather as the weather fronts clear away. the weather as the weather fronts clearaway. it the weather as the weather fronts clear away. it will be a much brighter day with some mist and fog patches to start but otherwise sunshine coming through, and showers building through the afternoon in the north and west of the country. temperatures still well above average, 16 for glasgow and belfast, 17 and 18 for cardiff and london as well. towards the end of the week, with nc see another area of low
1:58 pm
pressure moving from the west bringing more heavy rain and this time some strong winds, gale is developing it blowing the band of rain eastwards with time. temperatures are starting to come down close to average for the time of year but still mild further east. then it is wet and windy spell of weather looks set to continue coming our way into the weekend as well. lewis. thank you, chris. that's all from today's bbc news at 0ne. enjoy the rest of the day.
