imf or the bank of england, the warning from the biggest companies in the land, for example jaguar land roverister and others this week. it is ourjob to warn about it. clearly in the process we have to also said to people there is a difference between a worry, are concerned, a forecast, at a fact. forecasts are not facts. that's not what they are. but i think to say that we ought to be positive about brexit, to say we should be cheerleaders for brexit, to say we should be patriotic, which sometimes people do, is to misunderstand the role of a journalist. it is not the role of a journalist. it is not the role of a journalist. it is not the role of a journalist to be on one tea m role of a journalist to be on one team or another. we don't wear the scarf, we don't sing the songs, it is ourjob to report on the match, to do it fairly and if you hear things you don't like i am afraid thatis things you don't like i am afraid that is the nature of bbc journalism. you will hear people you don't like saying things you don't agree with. the political pressure for another referendum is getting more and m

as leading brexiteers gather to set out their plans, the boss of jaguar land rover has warned a bad deal could result in the loss of tens of thousands ofjobs in the uk. the governor of the bank of england is to stay in his position until 2020 in order to try to ensure a smooth exit from the eu. more than half a million people in south carolina, north carolina and virginia are ordered to leave their homes as hurricane florence is predicted to make landfall in the next 48 hours. in a moment it will be time for sportsday but first a look at what else is coming up this evening on bbc news... more than a million people in the us states of south carolina, north carolina and virginia are ordered to leave their homes as hurricane florence approaches — we'll be speaking to one family planning to hunker down. that's at quarter past eight. at 8.30pm, we'll be speaking to a recently retired chief superintendent about the impact of cuts to the police service — and asking what life is like at the sharp end. and we'll take a look at tomorrow's front pages with our reviewers , the the sun's deputy polit

but you can also choose to listen to the leaders of airbus, or land rover, jaguar land rover, who arel brexit. you just have to choose. i understand their concerns, and they — people like them understandably want no change. of course they want no change. they would prefer things to stay exactly as they are. but we've had a referendum. before we end, let's perhaps lift our political lens a little higher. the labour party has just had its annual conference. it has big ideas on radical economic change and reform, from worker share ownership to renationalisation — a whole host of things. and it appears, according to opinion polls, that they chime with many desires of the british public. where are the big ideas, fresh, new, radical ideas, in the conservative party today? well, i hope we will see those ideas come forward. i hope we'll see... but you're conceding there aren't any at the moment? well, i think, to some extent, people have been focusing on brexit, which is the biggest decision facing our country for a very, very long time. i hope, at the conference next week, i hope that it won

and, jaguar, land rover pouring huge amount of money into development of electric vehicles.ime they are pushing diesel technology but consumers are switching from it. they do not know if the diesel castle today as clean not in the car companies themselves have failed to bring across a consistent message, effectively shooting themselves in the foot. thank you. eu workers should be given no preference for visas to come to the uk after brexit — that's the recommendation of the migration advisory committee, which also recommends that it should be easier for higher—skilled workers to migrate to the country. it has called on the government to scrap how many high—skilled workers it grants visas to — that's currently 20,700 a year for those from non—eu countries. earlier, we spoke to anna mccaffrey, an employment lawyer at taylor wessing. this will probably be welcomed in certain quarters, in that there has been pressure for a while to relax the rules in relation to highly skilled workers. so i think this will probably be good news that the cap is proposed to be lifted for everyone.

today, jaguar land rover said it would go to a three—day week because of headwinds affecting the carr its chief executive warned a no—deal brexit would be horrifying. the imf said a weaker pound had helped exports, and the governor of the bank of england has argued a close deal could see an economic boost. i was here for the 2017 imf report on the uk economy, and certainly this year much more concern about the possible costs of brexit. in 2017, the imf was welcoming progress on those brexit negotiations. this year, real worry that the no—deal option is even on the table. six months to go, and the uk still has a lot of brexit homework to do, the imf said — no sign, as far as that economic body is concerned, of as yet any brexit dividend. kamal ahmed, bbc news. a conservative mp tobias ellwood has told the inquests into the victims of the westminster bridge attack how he fought to save the life of pc keith palmer, who had been stabbed outside parliament. the officer and four other people who were run over by khalid masood died after the attack in march last year. our home affairs corre

compare that cutting edge technology trial to this from jaguar land rover.ure pedestrians that they have been seen. it's actually a test to help understand the perception of safety. well, the googly eyes can stay as long as that pod has a sweet sound system. now, in my experience, one of the big themes of almost every efa tech show is the smart home, which usually means the very latest version of a fridge with a camera in it, in case you can't be bothered to open the door, but lara lewington has managed to hunt down some actually useful smart homery. there's been no shortage of smart home devices over the past few years, but which ones would you actually want? this small plastic bin is the prototype of something called the bindicator. the idea is it will connect to your local council's website and will then change colour depending on what bin needs to be collected. so it does solve a problem but the question is, do you really want it sitting in your house? one thing that isn't a matter of opinion, though, is that we all want to make sure our homes are safe.
