See you in australia. And sarah has the weather. An awesome feeling day today with outbreaks of rain across the country and a strengthening breeze. I will bring you the details in 15 minutes. Good morning. First, our main story. Theresa may has announced a freeze on University Tuition fees and an extension of the help to buy scheme in a bid to win over younger voters. It comes as the conservative Party Gathers in manchester for its annual conference. Our Political Correspondent chris mason reports. The security sweeps are complete. This whole will soon be packed. That you do not need to look hard at outside the Conference Venue to be reminded of the topic that dominates politics. Expect a clear attempt here by senior conservatives to change the subject. So, in the next financial year, starting in april, graduates in england will only begin repaying their tuition fee debts once they earn £25,000 a year. This is an increase from the current threshold of £21,000. Conservatives say this is a saving of around £360 a year. Graduates on a salary have at least £25,000. Parties are also promising an extra £10 billion for the help to purchase equity low scheme, ensuring it continues until march 2021 to assist someone with the up front cost of home ownership. The Prime Minister will hope that the next few days gives her a chance to speak about domestic priorities. The reality of the huge questions around brexit and her own future will make that difficult. And a big reason for that is this man. Someone not exactly shy about this ambition. The foreign secretary, Boris Johnson. Yet again, he snatched a fairchunk of johnson. Yet again, he snatched a fair chunk of the Prime Ministers limelight with this views on brexit and a few of the topics but side. Activists here are not short of a few or two about him. |j activists here are not short of a few or two about him. I guess he is positioning himself as a spokesperson for brexit and making sure that it goes through. Do you have a message for borisjohnson . Shush. Get behind the Prime Minister. Whatever promises made here, the political reality for chorizo may will not change. Her decision to voluntarily call an election in which she went backwards has weakened her Political Authority within and beyond the party. Were joined by our Political Correspondent alex forsyth. Good morning. So, broadly speaking, what will the conservative party set out to do . As chris said, this is the first time to may have to face the whole party ata to may have to face the whole party at a Conference Since the election which, friendly, did not go to plan. She knows that, so she will acknowledge that and acknowledge some of the reasons thatJeremy Corbyn got a swell of support. This is why we see policies about housing and tuition fees addressed to younger voters. Bubbling under the surface and, no doubt, sometimes spewing up through the surface will be brexit because that is a hugely divisive issue for the tory party. When you get them all in one place, no doubt some opinions will come through. 0n no doubt some opinions will come through. On top of all of that, we have the issue of theresa mays leadership would she have not managed to shake off. In public we get Senior Leaders saying she is the right woman for the job. In private, you may hear Something Different over the next few days. Boris johnson yet again setting out this position over brexit. It will be interesting to see what some of the conservative Party Members make of it because some in the party believe that this is great, we have a cheerleader and champion for brexit edgeis cheerleader and champion for brexit edge is where he is trying to position himself. There are plenty of others, including some of the top ten, who think he may be better off to stay quiet and get behind the Prime Minister now. This will be the first chance when we hear that range of views expressed, hopefully behind closed doors. Boris is a boris as we have heard before. Theresa may will be a guest on the Andrew Marr Show this morning which starts at nine oclock on bbc 1. The low cost travel company, monarch has been granted a 24 hour extension to its license to sell Package Holidays. It means travellers who book with the firm until midnight tonight will be covered for their trips. The airline is understood to be in talks to sell part or all of its short haul operation, as simon cleminson reports. For almost as long as Package Holidays have been popular, there has been some form of protection in case business fails to the government scheme should ensure is that not only do you get a refund if you book ahead, but if you are already abroad, you can get home. Companies need to prove they are financially robust to get a licence in the first place. Under intense pressure from a weak pound, shrinking demand, monarch is trying to find a buyer for part or all of that shorthaul operation. It is enlarged deeps talk with a large number of potential investors. A 24 hour extension means if the airline can continue selling in the Charter Market and customers will still be covered. They will also need a country licence last year. Ultimately, 10,000 passengers already out of the could be affected. The Civil Aviation authority is thought to be working on backup plans, using other airlines for the return leg. It says it will provide daily updates. The airline says it continues to work on its future on flights operating as normal to voters have begun to gather at polling stations in the spanish region of catalonia to take part in a banned referendum on independence. The spanish courts have declared the poll illegal and thousands of extra Police Officers have been sent to the region. 0ur correspondent tom burridge reports from barcelona. Those against the referendum last night took to the streets. A sea of spanish flags outside the headquarters of catalonias devolved government. All chant espanol, espanol, espanol those protesting happy that thousands of Spanish National police are on board two cruise ships docked in barcelonas port. This is madrid saying it is ultimately in charge. Together, we are more stronger, together is a great country inside of europe, and the majority of catalonia, we want to continue to be a part of spain. But those who want the referendum have occupied schools so they can be used as polling stations this morning. Catalan nationalists need a big turnout if the vote has credibility at home and abroad. Action taken by Spanish Police means that will be hard. It is one of europes most iconic cities at the heart of this most controversial of polls. Tom burridge, bbc news in barcelona. Theres been a surge in the number of people working in the uk Banking Sector who are considering taking jobs in ireland. The finding comes from a survey conducted by a recruitment website, as our business correspondent, joe lynam, reports eat is one tenth the size of london but it looks like dublin is a big attraction for many in the Banking Sector in the uk. Although there has only been a trickle of confirmed jobs moving from london to dublin, the number of uk based bank is considering the Irish Capital has sought. A recruitment website says that in the three months immediately after the referendum, searches for banking job in ireland by people based here surged by 37 to 15 months later, that has risen even further to 39 , compared to the period before the vote. Financial Services Professionals in Continental Europe are also considering ireland. They are up 32 . Londons losses dublin s game because we are seeing an increase in job searches from Continental Europe for people looking for financial roles in dublin. The city which represents many banks and Financial Professionals says an agreement post brexit is one of the most urgent issues for the industry and concrete progress needs to be made without further delay. Of curves, job searches online are not firm job applications. So far, major banks such as jp morgan, applications. So far, major banks such asjp morgan, buckley s and bank of america have confirmed that a small number of jobs bank of america have confirmed that a small number ofjobs will definitely be moving from london to dublin.

And air france flight minutes past weeks. And air France Flight from paris to los angeles carrying over 500 people have been forced to make a sudden diversion when it lost part of an invention over the atlantic. Passengers described a suddenjolt over the atlantic. Passengers described a sudden jolt and then a cloud boom. The plane flew for around one hour on three engines for landing at Goose Bay Airport in eastern canada. We will speak to one of the passengers, they are still on the plane. Johnjoins of the passengers, they are still on the plane. John joins us of the passengers, they are still on the plane. Johnjoins us now on of the passengers, they are still on the plane. John joins us now on the telephone. John, are you still on board and have not been able to get off . Yeah 14 hours now. Were still on the plane. First class and business have been loaded onto a small 737 and have been flown out two hours ago. Another plane is due in an hour. But were still on board. We have not been allowed to leave. Lets ta ke we have not been allowed to leave. Lets take a look while you talk, of the pictures of this engine. Can you describe what happened and how frightening it was . Yeah, my wife and i, we were six hours into the flight. And i, we were six hours into the flight. My wife and i was stretching next to the galley. Talking about how long the flight was. Were about halfway. And then suddenly there was a hugejolt as if halfway. And then suddenly there was a huge jolt as if we halfway. And then suddenly there was a hugejolt as if we had hit something and then immediately the plane jerked around a little bit and then there was a weird engine noise. Bout went for about five minutes and we, we would distract about five minutes. Listening to this noise. Eventually went away. About five minutes every body was scared because we did not know what was happening. And then ten minutes, the crew got up and started taking everything away as if we were going to land. That was scary, we were over the ocean at this point. That must have been terrifying. Looking at the images of that engine, where the casing has blown off, i mean, i guess you are lucky that there was no damage done to the wind. Yeah. I believe there was damage done to the trailing edge but luckily no fire. 0r trailing edge but luckily no fire. Or is there was, it went out of it if they had have been a fire we would have been in a lot of trouble. The fact that we managed to make a landing. It that is the blessing of the day, i guess. And where are you heading . Are you off on holiday . No, no. Despite my accent i let live in the united states. We arejust returning from france, we had a few days vacation there. Were heading to los angeles. We wish you a safe onward flight. Were quite grateful to you for speaking to us this morning on bbc one. How terrifying. We suspect if there is any more detail we will bring it to you hear. Time for a look at the weather. Heres sarah with a look at this mornings weather. It is not looking as bad as was predicted. The main thing is going to be the strength of the wind. Eating up today and tomorrow, and am settled picture. Almost of us, not too heavy. Some showers and drizzle. Breaking up. Through today, most of us waking up to breezy conditions. A lot of cloud, outbreaks of rain across the western parts of the country. Pushing east through the day. Heavy across parts of western scotland, north west england. Drizzly elsewhere. In the north east, we could see some brighter weather. 18 19 degrees. Fresher conditions moving in from the west later today. The wind factor is going to be the most noticeable today. 0vernight, rain clearing to the east. We will see that taking away the mild air that has been with us for a few days. Colder conditions moving in from the north west and pushing south. Behind that, low pressure in charge as we move into monday morning. Then we see a real squeezed in the wind. During the monday morning rush hour, we could see cast of 50 60 mph, through Central Scotland is well enough to cause some disruption on monday morning. Elsewhere, wind is not quite as strong. In the south, dry and brighter. Add your showers through monday coming in through western scotland. A few for Northern Ireland and england as well. Further south, dry for a good part of the day. Some rain heading into the south west later on. Temperatures 14 18 south west later on. Temperatures 14 18 degrees. Less humid and 90 thanit 14 18 degrees. Less humid and 90 than it has felt recently. Through monday into tuesday, some rain in the south. That should clear away, and then winds tending to ease on tuesday. After a blustery couple of days, tuesday still breezy in the north. Not as windy further south. Not a bad day altogether. Still a few showers around on tuesday, but not as heavy as there will be over the next few days. Temperatures not as warm as theyve been. To sum it up, looking unsettled, autumnal and windy, but should not be too disruptive for most of us. The strongest winds across scotland. Well be back with a summary of the news at half past six. Now its time for the film review with mark kermode and ben brown. Hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. To take us through this weeks cinema releases is mark kermode. So mark, what do we have this week . The big release is goodbye christopher robin, a film about the creation of winnie the pooh. We also have Reese Witherspoon in home again, a likeable if daft rom com. And daphne, a very interesting and edgy home grown pic. Goodbye christopher robin. I used to make up stories for my kids, so i am fascinated by this. Tell me im going to love it. I really liked it. I know it has divided critics, but it is basically the story of how the winnie the pooh stories came about. It begins with aa milne in world war i, coming back and suffering from what we now call post Traumatic Stress and what they then called shell shock. He leaves london for rural east sussex and wants to write an anti war tome, which his wife daphne describes as something that sounds perfectly horrid. And he cant write anything and then one day he is walking in the woods with his young son, chistopher robin, and suddenly, apparently out of nowhere, comes this unexpected beauty and he starts writing poems and stories which touch everybodys hearts, particularly when illustrated by his great friend, ernest. Here is a clip. The creatures in the story are toys. Theyre toys, but the woods are real. The size is wrong. The bear should be smaller. Yes. Yes, thats it. Are you writing a book . I thought we were just having fun. Were writing a book and were having fun. I didnt know you could do both at the same time. You dont usually look like youre having fun when youre writing. Its not your turn, tigger. This is more than a few poems. Hmm. Its a little world. Like you said, a hundred acre paradise. Be very, very quiet. Vespers. This ones for daphne. You said it divided critics. One said it was like a John Lewis Christmas advert. That is completely wrong, because it actually has a lot of darkness in it. The script is by Frank Cottrell boyce, and he has taken the trauma of the great war, and this is a glade of happiness existing between the two wars, world war i and world war ii. Much as with the winnie the pooh stories, it is something which has beauty and charm, but also underneath it has darker themes. It is film about betrayal, about the price of success when suddenly this child finds that his childhood is bought and sold. Theres a moment in which he is in london zoo in a cage with a bear and they are both basically on display. Its a film about his separation from his parents, particularly his mother, played by margot robbie, who is very unsympathetically portrayed as someone who is rather opportunistic in the promotion of christopher robin. I think it balances the light and dark very well. You saw in that clip, there was a bit of animation and some magic. The woods are filled with a spielbergian light, but it is not afraid of dealing with the horrors of the war. It is not afraid of dealing with the frankenstein like idea of making something that then overshadows the rest of your life. I was moved to tears by it. I thought it was very well played. I went in feeling slightly cynical, same as with saving mr banks. You approach mary poppins very delicately, and it is the same with winnie the pooh. I thought this did it respectfully well and i was moved and charmed by it. So other critics, pish now, home again with Reese Witherspoon. The story is that she has recently separated. She is a 40 year old mum who has moved back to los angeles to the house where her father who is a filmmaker lives. She meets three young film makers, all of whom are slightly besotted with her. Next thing, theyre living in her guesthouse, which is difficult because she hasnt yet divorced her husband. Theyre just separated. Basically, its a wish fulfilment fantasy. Its the kind of film in which you are asked to feel sympathetic for somebody who has a guesthouse that can house three film makers who happen to have wandered in and in which everybody is a potential suitor. But it works because Reese Witherspoon is really funny and charming. It is directed by the someone who comes from rom com heritage. And despite the fact that it is flimsy and it is fluff and it is ridiculous, i ended up laughing with it and not at it. I thought it was sweet. Michael sheen has fun as the ex who turns up like a bad penny at all the wrong moments. And again, much as i went in feeling cynical, i thought it was a laugh and i chuckled all the way through, largely because Reese Witherspoon is a great screen presence who can hold this kind of thing together. And playing older roles now. Well, playing a role thats appropriate to her age. Whats interesting is that although there was a thing going on in the movie about this age difference, imagine if you reversed the age difference, and would anybody raise an eyelid . I laughed, and that is fairly rare. Well, not that rare now, daphne. A powerhouse performance by emily beecham. She plays a young londoner who has apparently drifted into her early thirties without much direction, but an awful lot of repressed angst. She works in a kitchen and she works very hard. When she plays, she plays hard. She drinks, she takes drugs, she sleeps with whomever she likes and some people she doesnt like. She is cynical and isolated and she is deliberately attempting to keep everybody at a distance. Heres a clip. When you put it like that, that sounds negative, yes. No, no, i know what youre saying. All im saying is that so much of whats called love is really people just projecting their ideas of what a love object should look like onto someone else and then getting upset when that person fails to live up to those expectations, so then they fall in love with someone else, till they disappoint them too. Right, so basically, it turns out i didnt know what you were saying. I dont know why ijust said any of that stuff. I dont actually think any of those things. What, about people basically being incapable of love that isnt self interested . Its to do with expectations. I dont want you to expect one thing about me and then get mad when im not that. You do realise this is a first date, dont you . No need to be facetious. No, its funny. Were on a date and youre basically saying, dont get your hopes up, pal. No. Its like ive gone to church, only to realise ive sat next to satan. Its funny. Emily beecham is a rising star. Shes fantastic. I have seen her in a few films and i barely recognise her from one film to the next. She was in hail caesar and shes a versatile player. In this, she is great. This character is quite frustrating and hard to be with and much as with Darren Aronofskys mother , the camera spends the whole time with her, but you absolutely care for and understand her because of her performance. You get to understand this very conflicted nature that on the one hand, shes seems to be alienated from everybody, but there was a sort of desperation and it. There is a random act of violence that she witnesses and she cant understand why she doesnt feel more empathy for it. So mixed up in her Character Development are a number of things pulling in different ways, and you understand them all and you understand them because of the way she portrays them. Its a really intelligent performance, because it does that thing where the character doesnt have to be likeable for you to like and understand them. I thought it was really three dimensional. You really get to grips with the issues she is dealing with and yet at the same time, you can find her company very exasperating. Its called daphne and its worth seeing. Emily beecham is terrific in it. What is best out at the moment . I love this film called in between about three palestinian women living in tel aviv, each independently struggling for their own independence. One is a lawyer with a boyfriend who is not as liberal as he seems. One is a dj whose strict christian parents dont know that she is gay. Another is a muslim who is engaged to be married to a very sanctimonious and bullying guy. This has won awards everywhere from the Israeli Film Academy to the cannes film festival. It has also ruffled some feathers. I loved it. I think it is this years mustang. It is a debt to converge. Really vibra nt performances. Again, you really get to care about these women and their lives. It is caught in between and it is terrific. Best dvd . City of ghosts. It is not an easy watch. It is a documentary about these journalists documenting what is happening in syria. They call themselves. Raqqa is being slaughtered silently and are using the internet to get the true story out. It is of with some very distressing images in it and distressing subjects. The tag line is, our word is stronger than their weapons. Obviously, there was a danger with getting those words out, but it is really brave thing that they are doing and the documentary is a tribute to that bravery, although it is a tough watch. And also different from the kind of news coverage. We had a bbc team in raqqa this week, and this is different. It is absolutely ground level and what is being risked by the journalists getting this stuff out is extraordinary. The documentary attempts to show you enough that you understand what is going on. I dont think it is in any way exploitative, but there are moments in it when i think anybody would have to look away. It is a very powerful piece and very well made. A tough watch, but an important watch. I believe so. Mark, thank you so much. A quick reminder before we go that youll find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc. Co. Uk mark kermode. And you can find all our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. Thats it for this week, though. Thanks for watching. Goodbye.

Next year the games will be held in sydney, australia. It is 633 and you up to date with all the main stories. Lets catch up with sport. Siding with premier league football, the two sitting on top . A fantastic rivalry. It is hotting up at the moment. Both teams warm yesterday. A brilliant wind for city considering they were up against chelsea. Manchester united and city scored goals for fun at the moment. For both these managers, they had difficult first seasons. They do have a bit of history. It did not ignite the rivalry last year. At this year, they have their bearings and they are watching their teams bearings and they are watching their tea ms fly bearings and they are watching their teams fly at it. It is fantastic. It is fantastic. On goal difference, this morning. Elsewhere, harry kane continues his hot streak for tottenham, hejust cant stop scoring tim hague rounds up yesterdays action for you. Chelsea at home to Manchester City was the biggest game of the premier League Season so far, and was decided by this man. While the match was not a classic, this winner was. A quality gold. A game is always going to need a quality gold to separate the sides and that was it. Not bad. Not bad. We are so happy, we we re not bad. Not bad. We are so happy, we were able to win. Before guardiolas men went top of the table, their rivals, Manchester United we there. Two goals scored by one man in a 4 0 win against crystal palace. Lu ka ku scoring one man in a 4 0 win against crystal palace. Lukaku scoring his 11th goal in ten games. Harry kane scored another two at huddersfield to make it 13 this month. The form he is in must match that of any striker in any league in any team you care to mention. A couple of goals, as a striker you do want to score more but the most important thing is a big win and we had a great win. We need to try and get the job done next week as well. Another man who will feel like he has had a wonderful week is the stoke striker peter crouch at. He came off the bench to secure a much needed win at home. While that won came late, it was nothing in comparison to west hams winner against swansea. Both sides are in a relegation battle but the hammers in injury time snatched the hammers in injury time snatched the points. That relieved the pressure on the manager for now. Elsewhere there were draws between west brom watford, and bournemouth leicester. And theres three more premier league games today, as arsenal host brighton at 12, everton face burnley at 215.

Hes the formula 1 championship leader, had struggled on the circuit during practice on friday, but claimed the 70th pole of his career with a superb lap in qualifying. Hamiltons hopes of winning a fourth title have been boosted, because nearest rival Sebastian Vettels ferrari broke down in qualifying, mean he starts from the back of the grid. We had no idea how well would go today. And i am sorry what happened today. And i am sorry what happened to sebastien. Somehow we turned it around, the engineers did a great job yesterday and the car felt great. It was a surprise to be up here with these guys but i am grateful.

Rory mcilroy is still looking for his first win of the season, but he seems to be finally finding some form. Hes competing at the British Masters in newcastle, and the four time major winner moved into contention with a six under par 64 in the third round, that left him ten under, two strokes behind the leader robert karlsson. Just one shot above mcilroy on the leaderboard are five britons, including ian poulter and tyrrell hatton. It was a successful day for britains rowers at the World Championships in florida they took a total of four medals, including a silverfor the mens quad. But, just moments before the race, they had to make a substitution. Graeme thomas, who was sitting in the grandstand with his mum, received a text message telling him to get to the start line after one of the team injured his back during the warm up. And he proved to be a super sub, as the british crew edged out estonia for the silver, with lithuania taking gold. It is all done, i wish them best of luck and then i get a message saying an needed now. I led their. They kept their cool, and if they had not, i would kept their cool, and if they had not, iwould not kept their cool, and if they had not, i would not have been able to do anything.

Any foot ball your kit ready. You never know. Any football match. I take my bag just in case. Gym shorts behind the sofa. A freeze on student fees in england and more money to help homebuyers two proposals aimed squarely at young voters put forward by theresa may this morning. They come ahead of the conservative Party Conference which starts in manchester later today. 0ur Political Correspondent alex forsyth is here with more. Good morning. A lot of attention on the tories in manchester this week, not least because of these new policy announcements but also brexit . It is a huge conference for theresa may, quite a big one. Which he has emerged from is the damaging Election Campaign and this is the first time she is facing the entire party ina first time she is facing the entire party in a collective place. A few things are going on to the first things are going on to the first thing is that she will acknowledge the election did not go well as she had hoped to do was look at the reasons for that. Part of that, she says, is addressing younger voters, those who she thinks flocked to Jeremy Corbyn which is why we see these policies today about tuition fees, increasing the threshold for repayments which will make students slightly better off when they get into work. That is aimed at young voters. As you say, the really big issue that will be behind the scenes dominating this whole conference will be brexit. That is an issue that the tories are quite divided on. There are different groups in the party with different views and no doubt that will be top of the conversation that dominates the next three orfour conversation that dominates the next three or four days. It is interesting that labour call it desperate. There is a lot of similar ground here. Jeremy corbyn spoke about students last week of the labour conference, we heard him talk about helping tenants in accommodation. The labour party are probably rubbing their hands, watching the tories follow the lead. The labour think they have momentum amongst labour voters, younger voters, because we saw with a pledge they made about tuition fees, we saw their support grow. The conservatives are aware of that. There will be some who look at the policies that the conservatives offer and say that it is just tinkering around the edge. Leathers commission labours position went a lot further. Both parties, as well, are aware that there has been a lot of talk about brexit. That is what westminster talks about. That is what you talk about with your guests, it is a huge topic and they do not want to forget the domestic policy agenda. Things that mattered to people day today. That is why we are starting to see some of this come out of the conference. We will talk to the conservative Party Chairman later on. The leadership of theresa may is under the spotlight andi theresa may is under the spotlight and i am sure he will save the party is behind her. Interestingly, the 0bserver this morning has a story aboutjuddered being 0bserver this morning has a story about juddered being asked 0bserver this morning has a story aboutjuddered being asked directly and refusing to answer. Other stories around this morning, Boris Johnson yet again out and about putting forward his brexit division. More talk about other politicians. The sunday times has an interesting story about the queen being upset about the negotiations after the election in june taking about the negotiations after the election injune taking too long with the dup. It makes her position, all of this, look quite shaky. She cannot shake off these questions. Every single one of her senior team, on the record, in front of the cameras, consistently says that theresa may is the right person for brexit and we need to get behind her. She then says that she is not going anywhere but she cannot get rid of the question of her leadership. Isjust because of journalists are talking about . Look at the facts as well. Philip hammond was asked directly four times in an interview last week whether or not theresa may was the right person to lead the conservatives into the next election. He did not answer the question. Jabbered did something similarand question. Jabbered did something similar and Boris Johnson, question. Jabbered did something similar and borisjohnson, of course. He had an interview with his thoughts on brexit. He did the same couple of weeks ago with a sweeping article. He is insistent this is not about leadership, this is about him setting out his views are reasonably as foreign secretary. People will inevitably see it as positioning, i dont think it is entirely the media. Of course we love to discuss these things but i think the politicians themselves are giving us reason to. Thank you. Rachel mentioned we have Patrick Mcloughlin on after eight oclock, that is on the bbc news channel. Heres sarah with a look at this mornings weather. It is looking pretty autumnal. The winds are picking up, things are starting to turn cooler later on in the day. Before we get there, a mild start. A lot of cloud, this picture was taken yesterday. For most places, a grey start. Quite breezy. Rain across western parts pushing east through the day. Heavy across the highest ground of scotland. Later full north west england, drizzly for south west wales. To the east, brighter skies for a time. 17 19 degrees. Cool about brighter skies moving in from the west as we ended the day some winds will see a noticeable element of the weather. Strengthening further tonight across parts of scotland, Northern Ireland and england, plenty of showers. Temperatures not falling to low overnight. No frost because of the strength of the wind. Thing is turning a bit colder and fresher. A change in air mass. The warm air that has been in charge is clearing to the south. Colder conditions piling in behind this area of low pressure. Low pressure very much in charge as we head into monday. The isobars indicate a very windy spells. Tonight and during monday morning rush hour particularly. We could see gusts of 50 mph combined with some heavy showers. Not pleasa nt with some heavy showers. Not pleasant conditions in the north on monday morning, further south, likely to stay dry. Winds not quite as strong. Some sunshine coming through as well. Wherever you are, feeling cool and pretty breezy, especially in the north. Temperatures about 14 18 degrees on monday. Pretty much where they should be for this time of year. Feeling more warm and humid than it has recently. 0vernight into tuesday, bad weather clearing in the south. An improving picture by the time we get to tuesday. Still breezy in the northern parts of the country. Temperatures down on what weve seen recently, 12 70 degrees. Sunny and dry weather further south, in the north, more likely to see scattered showers. Pretty windy over the next couple of days with winds gradually easing by the time we get to tuesday. We will be back with the headlines at seven oclock. Now, itss time for click. Its. welsh music . The beautiful welsh countryside. Home to valleys, lakes, the odd feral goat and. Electric mountain hidden inside this mountain is the dinorwig pumped storage power station and it is basically a monster battery. It Stores Energy by pumping water from this lake to a lake at the top of the mountain and then letting it flow back downhill, releasing that energy at times of peak demand. When you pop the kettle on during breaks in championship matches of that sport they call football, this bad boy springs into action to supplement our national grid, delivering power to our homes in under 12 seconds. Its an incredible view. Its one of the fastest responding power stations on the planet and well have a nosy inside the thing later in the programme. Dinorwig offers a semi Renewable Energy solution at a time when our National Resources are being used up. As solar, wind and tidal power alternatives advance, were craving a method of using their generated energy 24 7 despite the weather or time of day and this is where batteries come in. Now, this isnt your stereotypical battery. Admittedly when i say battery you probably think of the ones in these. These are rechargeable lithium ion batteries. We really cant live without these. Lithium ion batteries have truly revolutionised electronics. They power the mobile miracles that we use every day. They have a high density, meaning they can store a lot of electricity relative to their small size, so we can easily carry them around and recharge them hundreds of times. Inside cells are layers of sheets stacked together, a positive cathode, negative anode, with a separator in between filled with a liquid electrolyte. When a cell is discharged, the movement of ions from one side to the other facilitates the flow of electrons, which then generates current to power devices. During charging, this process is reversed. Whoever came up with this must have been a real genius. My name isjohn bannister goodenough and when i was at oxford when we developed the cathodes that enabled the lithium ion battery that you use in your cell telephones and laptop computers, i didnt really think about whether the battery we were developing would be a world famous invention. Ive been very pleased to see how its being developed in the hands of the engineers. It has stood the test of time with electric vehicles today relying on thousands of lithium ion cells for their battery pack modules. The dependence of modern society on fossilfuel energy is not sustainable. And so one of the things we need to do is find storage of electric power generated by alternative energy sources, and also storage batteries that can power an electric vehicle with a Competitive Price and performance. Certainly sounds like doctor goodenoughs invention has proved good enough for 37 years, but lithium ion isnt without its problems and thats led some people to look for alternate battery technologies. And this summer the uk government pledged a £250 million into the research and development of battery tech. At the forefront of this research is Warwick Manufacturing Group at the university of warwick. Lithium ion batteries do have potential hazards and if you mistreat some of the Higher Energy chemistries then yes youll see a battery fire and potentially a rupture and so on so theres tight innate chemistries, called iron phosphate chemistries, which are a safe option for using public transport so on. As a Research Centre and a cell manufacturer you can play tunes with the chemistry to basically decide whether safety is your prime goal or your prime criteria or whether performance and energy is. If you look at your periodic table, all the transition metals you see, generally somewhere in the world there is a scientist trying to make a battery out of those. Calcium batteries, aluminium batteries, lithium sulphur batteries, sodium ion, theres a range of different sodium ion batteries and so on. Theres a whole range of different chemistries being worked on, so although were working on lithium ion at the moment and were persevering with lithium ion, there will be more developments in the future as we move onto different types of chemistries. As the uks leading Automotive Battery r d centre, wmg works at the intersection between Scientific Research and industry with the likes of nissan and Jaguar Land Rover as close collaborators. Heres a module we developed and it represents about a 70 80 improvement on the tesla battery module. That improvement has come about not through changes in the chemistry but changes in the way the module has been constructed. Packing the cells tighter together while maintaining safety, improved cooling systems, etc. At the moment cost and range of new evs and the number of charging points available to us is an issue. Manufacturers like nissan even offer up a replacement diesel or petrol replacement for customers needing to drive longer distances as part of their promise scheme. As well as batteries, wmg is looking at how our charging behaviour can affect battery life too surprising results. Its made a smart algorithm that shows degradation of a car battery can be reduced by up to 10 over a year if energy is transferred back to the grid. Synonymous with evs is tesla, owner of the worlds biggest battery factory. Due to hit peak production in 2020, the gigafactory aims to produce enough batteries to power half a million new electric ca rs every yea r. Tesla boss elon musks ambitions go further than revolutionising our cars, though, he wants to rewire our homes too. Enter the powerwall, the £6,000 home battery Stores Energy gathered from solar panels during the day and when the sun goes down sustainably powers your pad. Its very straightforward really, not that complicated. From tesla to ikea, there seems to be a growing trend in Companies Creating home batteries to harness solar power. So how exactly does this work . Tech enthusiastic terence has had solar panels for several years. More recently connecting them to a home battery, meaning he can use the power he generates and send excess back to the grid. The battery charged up 1. 4 kilowatt hours, which it then used throughout the day, so that saved about 15 on energy bills. Hes also using it to power his electric vehicle and thanks to the way that feed in tariffs currently work in the uk, hes being paid for the power he generates even when he uses it. But of course its early days for the technology. One of the things were going to see over time is these batteries will become cheaper, smaller and higher capacity. At the moment this battery is two kilowatt hours, which is great, but its not quite enough for everything we want to do with it. Terence is actually taking part in a Community Trial taking place in the rose hill area of oxford. While the usual costs for installation of solar panels and a moixa battery would be £5,000, here the cost of batteries is subsidised and a network has been created meaning power can be economically shared between the 82 homes, a school and a Community Centre that are taking part. My house generates more power than i can use so why not store it and sell it back to the grid . Why not give it to my neighbours when weve got surplus . And i understand youve also hooked it up to alexa . Alexa, how is the battery . Alexa battery is at 21 capacity right now. In this area, where many are living in fuel poverty, the Community Element of the project seems to be appreciated too. And here at this school, theyre also treating it as a learning experience. Here in this year 6 classroom you can see the solar panels out of the window and here is the battery thats harnessing the power. Now, this power is actually being used for the lighting in this room but the whole setup also teaches the kids how this works. I think its a really good way of teaching children not to waste electricity. We are very happy that our school is powered by solar panels. Swedish giant ikea are now selling home batteries too using the same premise of harnessing solar power and that providing electricity consumable by the homeowner, claiming the average uk home could up to £560 a year from their electricity bills. Meanwhile British Company powerbolt are working on giving older electric vehicle batteries a second life as home batteries. While after eight to ten years of road use a battery could start to deteriorate, it seems it could still be used in the home where demands are less strenuous, giving it an extra decade of use. After being taken from the vehicles they are checked electorally, graded, reformatted and stacked together to create Energy Storage systems for the home. Of course, as battery costs come down and capability increases, the appeal should too. So whether this idea goes mainstream most likely depends on whether the sun shines over those figures. Well, thats it from the dinorwig power station in north wales. What a privilege to visit such an unusual place. Feel free to get in touch with us on social media if you have enough battery, that is. Thats it from this power station in north wales. What a privilege to visit such an unusual place. Dont forget we live on facebook and twitter. Feel free to get in touch at any time. Hello, this is breakfast, theresa may announces a freeze on tuition fees as she makes her pitch to younger voters. 0n the first day of the conservative Party Conference the Prime Minister is also promising to raise the threshold for student loan repayments in england. But shes facing more questions about her future after borisjohnsons latest brexit intervention. Good morning, its sunday first 0ctober.
