Children, 100,000 children. And, as sadly so often is the case, children who are on free school meals, the poorest children, and children with special Educational Needs fare the worst in the situation. And excitment builds as the Rugby World Cup gets underway in japan. Good morning. Welcome to bbc newsroom live. Large numbers of british schoolchildren are joining millions of people in a worldwide protest against Climate Change. Around 5,000 demonstrations are planned across 150 countries. Many will involve young people staying away from school, university or work. Those involved are calling for more urgent action from governments to halt global warming. The demonstrations come ahead of a un summit on Climate Change in new york on monday. This was the scene outside westminster where thousands are expected to gather for one of the strikes getting under way shortly. The first protest began in the Pacific Island of vanuatu where rising sea levels threaten communities. In dehli, children and adultsjoined together in india against the impact of Climate Change. And there was a real Party Atmosphere in johannesburg a little while ago. This is one of 18 rallies in towns and cities across south africa. Lets go back to westminster. 0ur news correspondent Caroline Davies is at the protest in central london. Hundreds of people have gathered here in the last hour, many with their own home made placards that you can see. Some pretty creative uses you can see. Some pretty creative uses of protesting against Climate Change. We have beenjoined by schoolchildren who have been protesting repeatedly on fridays and also we have beenjoined by people who have chosen to strike, the first time that adults have been asked to join the students to come together on this day. Im joined now by lola and fatima. You are from the uk Student Climate network. Explain why youre here. We are striking because we believed its so important that Climate Change is dealt with, especially with regard to policies, like a Green New Deal, educational reform for young people so that Climate Changes at the top of the curriculum, and so that people are empowered. Obviously there are thousands of people protesting around the world. Have you seen the images, and what has your reaction been . I saw images in africa and australia today, and it has been so incredible to see the impact this is going to have, how global this is. It reaches all around the world and the sheer numbers are people who are coming out and striking our incredible and hopeful it will make a difference. You are from the Green New Deal which is one of the demand is being asked of the government so can you explain what youre asking for . It is a National Action plan that really meet this crisis we are facing, notjust the Climate Crisis that the economic inequality crisis, work with the level of resources it deserves, we are asking the government to mobilise all its resources and invest in clean energy, create millions of newjobs, build better homes that are energy efficient. And this is the only plan thatis efficient. And this is the only plan that is on the table that will meet the level of crisis we are facing and allow us to divert the worst effects of Climate Change. The uk government has said it will set zero net gas emissions by 2050 so dont you think they are taking the steps . Net zero is not good enough. I was in paris for the paris climate agreement and what was agreed was a global target for a net zero. What people are not understanding is in some countries need to move faster, we cannot all wait until 2050 to reach zero and the uk has a responsible to transition quickly because it is historic emitter and has a huge percentage of the responsibility it is our economic syste m responsibility it is our Economic System that, through colonisation, we exported to the rest of the world, what we are in this position. We have an Economic System that puts profit before people and planet and what we are asking the government to do is transform that so we put people and planet at the heart of the economy again. Thank you. There are plenty of students here will have missed school, i know youre about to go to university so youre not missing any lessons currently possible isnt it irresponsible to ask these students to come out and leave the school for the day to protest . Our key message is that there was no point in education if there was no point in education if there is no planet to use it on. We believe that protesting is an education within itself. Coming out and striking is a way for young people to learn about what it means for their voices to be heard and thatis for their voices to be heard and that is so vital. This kind of participation in the political process is an invaluable experience which all young people should have a chance to experience. Thank you very much. The speeches havejust chance to experience. Thank you very much. The speeches have just started here, and the protest is due to go on until three oclock this afternoon. Thank you, caroline, we will be back with you later. 0ur correspondent anne soyjoined protestors in kenyas capital, nairobi, earlier. We can take a look at her explanation of the complexity of africas Climate Change problem. There are hundreds of protesters here, Climate Change, climate activists who have come out into the middle of nairobi. They are marching towards the government offices. They have a petition to present there. A number of issues they want to highlight here in Kenya Protection of water towers, prevention of deforestation, as well as asking the government to stop a project to exploit coal for the first time in this country. They say that coal energy is not clean and that is not the way kenya should be going. Here in africa, the impact of Climate Change is already being felt, even though it contributes significantly less to Climate Change itself. We are seeing more recurrent droughts, particularly in southern africa. It means people cannot get food, their livelihoods as farmers are threatened. As well as energy problems, a lot of hydroelectric power depends on rivers and the water levels, when they fall, it means that they cannot have electricity. And we are already seeing rationing of electricity in several countries malawi, zimbabwe, south africa because of that. However, in the morth, ethiopia, for instance, is already making strides towards conserving the environment. Just this year, they have planted 350 Million Trees in one day, so they are showing it can be done and how the climate can be preserved. That was the scene from nairobi. This is berlin. It isjust freezing as we go to it, that is a shame. Berlin is interesting today because the government has been meeting overnight to try to haggle and hammer out a new Climate Change agreement. Climate is hugely ramping up agreement. Climate is hugely ramping up the public political agenda in germany. Public television has shown that 63 of germans think protecting the climate is more important than Economic Growth and i suppose, in response to that, the chancellor, angela merkel, called those overnight talks and she is expected to make an announcement in the next hour or two so we will bring you more on that. But elsewhere in the world, this was the scene in sydney earlier where tens of thousands of children took to the streets. They were calling for australia, which is the Worlds Largest exporter of coal, to take more drastic action to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions. These people explained why they were taking action. The younger a person is, the more that the change in climate will impact them as they grow and the less of a voice they are given today. Considering we have such a short amount of time to turn this issue around, its young people at the forefront of the conversation because they are impacted more than anyone else. This is the most important issue of our time and im here for my childrens future. It is that important. Greta thunberg, the swedish teenager who started the schools strike for Climate Change just over a year ago, tweeted from new york this morning. She called the pictures from australias strikes incredible and asked activists across the world to share their pictures. Joining me now is libby peake, senior policy advisor at the Green Alliance a think tank that campaigns on environmental issues. What is your chief message today . I think the important thing to realise is that these strikes have really shaken everyone out of eight dangerous complacency about Climate Change, to the extent that it is now one of the Major Concerns for the population in general. Is the latest poll showed that 85 of the British Population think Climate Change is a real concern pronto this message was brought home to me when we organised a really big rally, a mass lobby on parliament in june when 12,000 people from all over the country came down to talk to their mps to tell them we need early action on the climate and environment emergency and i think what you will see today will be even bigger. And yet, the whole of our Economic System is not set up to prioritise that above growth, and above profit dividends for shareholders. That above growth, and above profit dividends forshareholders. It that above growth, and above profit dividends for shareholders. It was all very well getting young people to miss classes and being impassioned, but is it really changing the fundamental of the economic structure . The important thing is that we need action now put to the uk government became the first major economy in june to the uk government became the first major economy injune to legislate for net zero emissions and thatis legislate for net zero emissions and that is an important target but we dont yet have the policy that match the ambition. Even before they legislated for that, we were not on course to meet the carbon budgets that we have which were designed to reach 80 reductions. And now we need even more policies to come into force to reach net zero, but we do know it is possible. The uk has done some fantastic things to decarbonise the economy and while it is still growing, but mainly focused on reducing the carbon impact of the energy supply, so now we need more ambitious policy in other areas. What would those be . We have done some research that are set out five things we can do now to start aiming for a net zero by 2050 at the latest and they include things like bringing in an earlier ban on fossil fuel vehicles, bringing in electric vehicles faster, to 2030. A major Resource Efficiency Programme so we have a better product and things are designed to last longer. Changing how we use land so that we plant a lot more trees, we restore wetlands and things like that, and making our homes much more efficient because the uk has some of the leaky estate homes in europe. If we change these things, we will have much more benefits in terms of better quality as well as warmer homes. There are plenty of benefits in addition to saving the environment. plenty of benefits in addition to saving the environment. I suppose there are costs as well as benefits. You did not mention taking note flights, of course Greta Thunberg took a sailing boat to new york no flights. Should the rest of stop flying altogether and our people are realistically going to do that . We know that a lot of the flights are taken by a small percentage of the population so i think it is not something that needs to be seen as a hair show something that needs to be seen as a hairshow and we something that needs to be seen as a hair show and we need to do a lot more to promote the benefits of lower carbon choices. If you look at things like transport, the transport sector is actually growing in emissions compared to the rest of the economy but if we do things like motivating and investing in walking and cycling options, and in mass transport, we could have benefits including healthier air and a lower cost to consumers in addition to the better environment. Obviously we have seen a lot of the debt is talking about Climate Justice and a green industrial revolution, a Green New Deal and these slogans but do you get the sense that business and government is really up to speed on all of this . The language that the protesters are using doesnt sound to me like the language that government and business are talking. I think that we do need to recognise that there are massive opportunities forjobs in this sort of thing. The government announced there was a lot more offshore wind. You say you need, thats not what im asking, im asking if they are on the same page. I think they are getting there. The government was promoting this morning the fact that their offshore wind, which was auctioned offshore wind, which was auctioned off this monitor will result in 8000 jobs, and there are plenty ofjobs in other sectors to do with low carbon at things like resource efficiency and we have done research to show that if we aim for a circular economy, we can have up to 102,000 netjobs in the country. We just need to get the policies that match the ambition now. Thank you for joining match the ambition now. Thank you forjoining us. Meanwhile, hundreds of amazon employees are expected to join the Global Climate walkout protests today because they are unhappy with the companys environmental record. But the companys chief executive, jeff bezos, has claimed he can make amazon Carbon Neutral and meet the goals of the paris climate agreement by 2040. This from our tech reporter dave lee. If amazon had hoped that thursdays announcement would dampen the energy of the walk out, that doesnt seem to have been the case. 0rganisers have told me that the firms pledge to meet the spirit of the Paris Agreement is proof that their concerns are being listened to, and they feel invigorated. But in their view, it doesnt go far enough. One of the organisers of the walk out is emily cunningham, a User Experience designer from amazon in seattle, and she says amazons impact on Climate Change goes well beyond its own goals on sustainability. If amazon truly wants to be a climate leader, we absolutely cannot be in bed with fossil fuel companies. Currently, were selling our Artificial Intelligence to big oil and gas to help them extract oil more quickly, and thats the exact opposite of what we need right now. Scientists say absolutely, to avert catastrophic warming, we must keep fossil fuels in the ground. 0rganisers have said they hope as many as 1,700 amazon workers will choose to walk out at its offices around the world. They have said they dont expect there to be any personal repercussions from amazon about their decision. Dave lee, bbc news, in san francisco. The headlines on bbc news. A day of global Climate Change protests. The aim to get businesses and governments to cut emissions. Thomas cook faces administration, unless it can raise more funds leaving 150,000 holiday makers stranded. The brexit secretary heads to brussels for talks with the eus chief negotiator, after the European Commission president said a deal could be done. In sport, the Rugby World Cup is just getting under way injapan, the first match sees that host take on russia in tokyo. We havejust had the Opening Ceremony. Jofra archer, who only made his england debut this summer, has been rewarded with a central contract in all forms of the game. He was their leading wicket taker at the triumphant world cup. There were wins for rangers , Manchester United and arsenal in the Europa League last night. The gunners won their Opening Group match 3 0 at eintracht frankfurt. Ill be back in the next 15 minutes with a full update. I will see you then. The future of travel Company Thomas Cook is hanging in the balance this morning, after it was hit with a last minute demand to find £200 million in extra funding to secure an Emergency Rescue deal. Britains oldest package holiday firm had hoped to seal a rescue led by chinas fosun this week. But its banks say the deal cant be completed unless extra contingency funds are put in place. If the company collapses, up to 150,000 holiday makers could be left stranded. We will be speaking to sharron livingston, founder she is the founder of the travel magazine so stay with us for that to find out what your rights are. The Current System for fining people in england who wrongly claim free prescriptions is not fit for purpose, according to a group of mps. In a scathing report, the Commons Public Accounts Committee says 1. 7 million penalty charge notices have been issued incorrectly about a third of all fines imposed. Sean coughlan has more. This highly critical report from a cross Party Spending watchdog says the system of nhs penalty fines is not fit for purpose. Fines of £100 are levied if someone falsely claims free dental treatment, or dishonestly avoids paying a prescription charge. But mps say that the fining system is so chaotic that 1. 7 million fines have been unfairly issued in the past five years. The committee chair, meg hillier, said the system was utterly confusing, and needed to be completely overhauled. Its a very complex system that has grown up like this over time, and it really isnt fit for purpose so they need to consider it from the point of view of the patient and dentists and pharmacists, who are having to also process this. At the moment, it is so complex its not surprising people make mistakes. Of course, we must clamp down on fraud, but too many innocent people are being caught up in the system at the moment. The British Dental Association says that many vulnerable people, such as the very elderly and those with serious illnesses, are being caught up in the fining system. The charity mencap, which works with people with learning disabilities, says the fear of being fined had become a huge source of unnecessary stress. Mps say that the system of deciding who doesnt have to pay for treatment is too complicated, and the system of fines too often catches the wrong people. In their report, mps showed that a single page of eligibility form needed a 2a page handbook to explain what it meant. The department of health has promised to introduce extra checks, which should reduce the number of incorrect fines. Sean coughlan, bbc news. The European Commission president , jean claude juncker, has said its still possible that a new brexit deal could be reached by the end of october. His comments come ahead of a meeting between the brexit secretary, Stephen Barclay, and the eus chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, in brussels today. Borisjohnson said he did not want to exaggerate progress but some was being made but the irish deputy Prime Minister, Simon Coveney, said there is still no solution on the backstop issue. What we are being asked to do, by Steve Barclay and by others, is to replace a guarantee around that border question, which solves it, and we know that, with a promise that somehow we will do our best to try to solve this issue in the future, but we dont know howjust yet. That doesnt sound like a fair deal to me. Joining us now is our Political CorrespondentJonathan Blake. That didnt sound particularly optimistic so can you run us through the varying levels of optimism around europe . There is no doubt that both the eu and uk side are talking a more positive line than they were a couple of weeks ago and jean claude juncker, the president of the European Commission, the very top of the european union, has made it clear he thinks a deal can be done, and that he found his meeting with Boris Johnson earlier this done, and that he found his meeting with borisjohnson earlier this week positive, and he has also said that the backstop, the key sticking point, that part of the Withdrawal Agreement that is there to avoid a ha rd agreement that is there to avoid a hard border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland if a trade deal cannot be done, could be replaced if a solution is found that it achieves the same thing. The crucial caveat to that is that a solution has not been yet found, as far as the eu is concerned at least. The mood music seems to be recently good, Stephen Barclay, the brexit secretary, is meeting Michel Barnier, the eu chief negotiator, in brussels. They have not met for at least a couple of months now so that is significant in itself but nobody is significant in itself but nobody is really expecting a breakthrough at this stage, not least because, as you heard in no Uncertain Terms from the irish deputy Prime Minister, that as far as he was concerned, and his country was concerned, the uk has not put forward credible alternatives to the backstop and a deal is, in his words, not close. Thank you so much. We can go over to brussels and speak to damian grammaticus. What is the mood music coming from there this morning as the sides meet . I dont think damien can hear me because he is not responding unless hes having a long think we will come back to damien ina long think we will come back to damien in a moment, sorry about that. A number of conservative Party Members have been suspended for posting or endorsing islamophobic material online. The bbc highlighted more than 20 new cases to the party, which said all those found to be members who shared or supported anti muslim posts on twitter and facebook were suspended immediately. However, the officials would not reveal the exact number of members suspended. A tory spokesman said they were now establishing the terms of an investigation into the wider issue. The childrens commissioner, Anne Longfield, has urged ministers to investigate figures that show a significant increase in pupils leaving school in england without proper qualifications. New Research Says the number of teenagers who dont achieve five good gcses has risen by 28 percent in the last four years. The government says maths and english gcse results have got better, and its working to improve standards across the board. However the childrens commissioner has described the outcomes as shameful. This isnt, of course, just a piece of paper. This is their route to their career, their employment, their income, for the rest of their lives. And what it does mean is that theyre limited, if they dont have that basic set, on the kind of progression they can have. Many wont be able to start basic apprenticeships without that basic set of qualifications. Joining me now is steven george, from the National Association of head teachers. It is confusing when the government says these things are Getting Better but we get the childrens commissioner saying what is happening is shameful. Where do you stand . The findings of the report are stand . The findings of the report a re really interesting stand . The findings of the report are really interesting and the timing is interesting as well because what they have said is that since 2015, pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds, in particular, are faring worse. What we know is that School Budgets and couege we know is that School Budgets and College Budgets as well have seen a radical decline in that time. We all know about the decade of austerity as well. The issues that stand in the wake of young people think the results they want to get go far beyond the school gate, and schools can play a role but until we have Adequate Funding for schools and colleges themselves, and the support services that families and young people rely on, they will face an uphill battle. And is there something the government does understand and appreciate is this something . Behind the scenes, are they saying, we know there is a problem . They have moved, and they have moved in response to pressure rather than spontaneously, it has to be said. And have now volunteered some extra funding for schools and colleges. We have done the analysis of that and so have reputable organisations like the iss and they say what the government proposes just about restores what has been cut dif s. There is no sense that the growing or even keeping pace with demand so the government are recognising it and they deserve some credit for that but they do need to go further. What would you say, were you shocked by these results or are they something that you and your members would go, we know this, we see it everyday . Our members are well aware of the challenges their pupils face and i alluded to earlier to the idea that the decade of austerity, and would schools and colleges are doing are often picking up colleges are doing are often picking up the pieces for fractured families, families on insecure incomes or with insecure housing early on in their schooljourneys and our research has shown that pupils as young as six or seven are very aware of the families financial circumstances and it is troubling to them. One child described being embarrassed and ashamed of their family circumstance. If you are hungry and tired and uncertain about your future, how i supposed to do well . We have big concerns about that and we would like to see the government doing more. Thank you for coming in. We have given our brussels correspondent plenty of time to think that we can go back and hear the latest we have got the problem is sorted, tell us what is going on between mr barnier and mr barclay. Is sorted, tell us what is going on between mr barnier and mr barclaylj between mr barnier and mr barclay. think we lost our communication with you just back then, the discussions are now happening here. This is what they call a political level meeting between the brexit secretary and the eu chief negotiator. They are talking through the details of what is in those papers that the uk presented this week. But we know those papers are only discussion papers outlining thoughts, and we believe they are only outlining what has already been outlined in the talks here by the uks negotiator, david frost, in the last few weeks and furthermore, we know that is not enough for the eu. I think it is going to be a fairly difficult meeting to see progress coming out of it unless the uk as something new to table. As i think you heard a few minutes ago, the irish side and the eu side very clearly are saying that they do not believe the proposals are enough. What they feel is that the uk side is trying to remove a guarantee, a backstop for ireland, and replace it with first of all customs checks on the island of ireland, which the eu side and the irish state is not acceptable because it threatens both the Peace Process and the ability if the eu to control its single market, but, secondly, they say it is not even clear how exactly those would be mitigated in future because the uk wa nts to mitigated in future because the uk wants to delay discussion of the mitigation, alternative arrangements, until after exit date and again, that is simply not a cce pta ble and again, that is simply not acceptable to the eu because they need a guarantee now. Still come on the substance, very far apart. 0n the substance, very far apart. 0n the spin, people say progress is being made and there are papers on the table but when they come out of that discussion, it will give us a better idea. Thank you, we look forward to hearing more. Lets have a look at the weather with simon. Thank you, a lot of sun sent across the uk, we will have a last fling of summer go into the weekend with temperatures on the rise and you can see from the satellite this morning, a lot of clear skies. Some cloud in east anglia but that will move westward and then northwards into Northern England but even here, still some sunny spells. For the rest of the afternoon, little change for many with the blue skies and temperatures for many up into the low 20s. Perhaps 2a in the north east of scotland with eight fern effect developing with the air modifying as it goes over the grampians. Tonight, a bit of low cloud across the north east of england and eastern scotland so a bit murky first thing tomorrow, otherwise clear skies and a south easterly wind developing. 0n saturday, quite breezy but much warmer, temperatures into the mid 20s across many parts with a lot of sunshine. Very different on sunday, rain moves in from the west. Goodbye for now. Goodbye for now. Hello this is bbc newsroom live, with carrie gracie. The headlines. A day of global Climate Change protests. The aim, to get businesses and governments to cut emissions. Around 5,000 demonstrations are planned across 150 countries, including here in the uk, ahead of a un summit on monday.

The brexit secretary arrives in brussels, for talks with the eus chief negotiator, after the European Commission president said a deal could be done. Sport now, with a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. Good morning. We are about 10 minutes away from the first match, at the Rugby World Cup, injapan. The hosts are facing russia. Weve already had an Opening Ceremony at the tokyo stadium, a showcase of the countrys culture, with music and dance, with a western influence too. World in union was sung and new zealands captain in 2015, richie mccaw, was on hand to present the webb ellis trophy to the organisers, as they declared this years tournament open. The all blacks will be looking to lift the trophy for a third time in a row. This is the first Rugby World Cup to be held in asia. Rugby is by no means the main sport, injapan, but the public seem to have embraced the event our Sports Correspondent katy gornall is in tokyo. We are edging ever closer to kick off here in tokyo. And you do get a real sense of excitement from these fans. That is so significant because this is the first time at the Rugby World Cup has come to asia. It is not part of the culture injapan but asia. It is not part of the culture in japan but they are really embracing our limit. A lot of these fa ns embracing our limit. A lot of these fans would have got behind the team after watching what japan were able to achieve in their opening game when he beat two time champions south africa in what was called the biggest upset in the tournaments history. It has given added belief and a sense of expectation that they could achieve Something Special at this world cup. First, they have to get past russia. Russia 20th in the world and qualified for the tournament by default. Japan are expected to win tonight and win well which would give the tournament a boost. They want to make history at this world cup and do something they have not done before and get out of the group. Given what happened four yea rs the group. Given what happened four years ago, you cannot write them off. The final is over four weeks away. All the home nations are in action over the next few days. England have named their team to play tonga on sunday in saporro. Head coach eddie jones naming an attacking side, with captain 0wen farrell, playing at centre alongside manu tuilagi. That means that george ford will play at fly half. Ireland have named their side to face scotland on sunday. Its an inexperienced back three. Jordan larmour comes in at full back for rob kearney, who has a calf problem. Keith earls also misses out. And as for scotland, sam johnson will play alongside Duncan Taylor at centre, for only the second time. Head coach Greg Townsend has also stuck with Tommy Seymour on the wing, ahead of the in form darcy graham. Jofra archer was one of the stars of englands summer, only making his debut four months ago. Hes been rewarded with a central contract. He was their leading wicket taker at the world cup which they won and he also had a very good test series against australia. He has been given a contract for all forms of the game. 0pening batsman, rory burns, has been given a test contract. Five british sides were in Europa League action last night, and a couple of teenagers stole the show. 18 year old bukayo sa ka score his first goal for arsenal and set up the other two, as they beat eintract frankfurt 3 0 in germany. Manchester uniteds 17 year old Mason Greenwood scored his first for the club, the winner against kazakh side astana 1 0 at old trafford. Wolves are back in europe this season, for the first time time since the early 80s. They were beaten 1 0 at molyneux, in theirfirst group game, by the portuguese side braga. Rangers were 1 0 winners over the dutch side feyenoord. This great strike from sheyi 0jo giving Steven Gerrards side all three points. A draw for celtic, who had to come from behind against rennes. Ryan christie levelling things from the spot after the french side had taken a first half lead with a penalty of their own. Dont forget that you can follow all the action from the Rugby World Cup on the bbc sport website and app, theres full commentary on 5 live too. An update in the next hour. Lets get more on the news that thomas cooks future is on the line now from sharron livingson, founder of thetravelmagazine. Net. Thank you for coming in. How serious is this . It is pretty critical for thomas cook. They have been in limbo for ages. They are trying to get, they have agreed backing from fosun. The banks who are also lending have said that is not enough. We need to see that you have another 200 million and so now thomas cook is left with restructuring, can we ask for wiggle room . To get more time to sort this out. So it is impossible to predict the actual outcome of this. But, as of today, it is pretty critical. For anyone who is thinking of booking a holiday, or has, what should they do . Right now, it is not a good idea to book a holiday today. Which is a sad thing to say, because that digs into an even deeper hole . Thats right. This constant talk of thomas cook and their problems causes people to shy away which is a shame. But if you are the consumer. Shame. But if you are the consumer. Then you have for years. There are up to 180,000 people out there now holidaying with thomas cook. They will be able to come home, there is a massive repatriate being organised now in the case of that. It is being called operation matterhorn stop so they dont need to worry, everything will be fine. They just need to to worry, everything will be fine. Theyjust need to keep on top of who they are flying back with. Theyjust need to keep on top of who they are flying back withm theyjust need to keep on top of who they are flying back with. If they are already on holiday . Yes. What about if they have booked and paid for a holiday . I am sorry to say that they will not be going. But they will be getting a refund. That they will not be going. But they will be getting a refundm thomas cook have to go into administering . Yes, i am only talking in terms of if the worst happens. If they dont, then everything continues as if nothing happens. And all of this willjust bea happens. And all of this willjust be a memory. Going back to the business point, this is something which is being negotiated with the banks or with fosun . Problem is that banks or with fosun . Problem is that banks being extra cautious they are worried that they be a will to carry on trading for the next 12 months. The caa, hearing this, are saying you need to be able to have enough funding to get over the winter months. Which when the quieter time is. We also have a cash flow problem having to pay out lots of staff. Is. We also have a cash flow problem having to pay out lots of staffm is interesting, some people make the point that the banks got bailed out fairly recently. Rbs is a shareholder and now they are being tough on thomas cook when they had tough on thomas cook when they had to come cap in hand to the government. Its not right, is it. 0ne hopes they should find a way to be more consolatory about this. There must be something that they can do, they can sell something or restructure in some way. But there must be something they can do. And i optimistic, actually. Ithink must be something they can do. And i optimistic, actually. I think with the wiggle room, and the talks that will be happening on the 27th, of september, they will come up with something. I am optimistic about it. Thank you for coming in, let us hope all the best for thomas cook and their customers. Some breaking news from belfast. A group known as the hooded men have won the latest stage of their legal battle to force a Police Investigation into alleged torture by the Security Forces 0ur correspondent in belfast, chris page, joins us now. Explain this to us. This is a touchstone case, and how you investigate what happened in the troubled past in Northern Ireland but also it has generated wide attention because of the nature of the case. This is about 1k men who have become known, over time, as the hooded men. They were subjected to interrogation techniques by the army and police. Amnesty have been following the case of these men and supporting then basically ever since then, so they have documented what happened to them. They were put in hoods, put in stress positions, white noise was played, they were deprived of food and water and physically assaulted. So for the last nine years, the surviving hooded men have been taking the case through the courts to force a Police Investigation into these allegations of torture. They want the initial stage of that battle, they won that initial stage and this morning the Northern Ireland court of appeal has once again ruled in favour of the hooded men. Northern irelands most seniorjudge said that if the treatment meted out to these men happen today, it would be classified as torture. So again, the onus is on the police to respond. There is an expectation amongst the hooded men themselves that the police will appeal again and take it to the highest court in the uk, the supreme court, but for now, they are very pleased that this stage of their legal fight has been won and they say they are determined to see this progress process through. 0ne say they are determined to see this progress process through. One of the three appeal courtjudges issued a dissenting judgment and in essence, he questioned how wise it was to continue to bring Court Actions in respect to the past in Northern Ireland because of, for example, he noted that as time passes, it is 48 years since the men we re passes, it is 48 years since the men were interned, the chances of getting a successful prosecution becomes less and less with the passage of time. So the men outside the court, the two of them who where they are, both said that they strongly disagree with what the judge had to see but they say that they acknowledge it will be a difficult to secure prosecutions if the Police Investigation does get under way eventually, they do still think it is worthwhile. Thank you chris from belfast. Lets return now to Climate Change and, as weve been reporting, a wave of protests is taking place around the world calling for more radical action to address the issue. Those are some of the uk protesters, which are happening across various british cities. This was the scene in leeds a little while ago. As the strikes take place, the Energy Sector here in the uk, sector here in is calling for the government to put more tests in place, to make sure the uk can reduce carbon emissions. Joining me now is lawrence slade, chief executive of energy uk, the industrys trade association. Are you protesting today . are you protesting today . I am not. Iam here are you protesting today . I am not. I am here instead but i am moved to see the protests here, notjust your but around the world. There were 20,000 people out in perth in australia. So i think it is great raising awareness but we need to make sure it is front and centre on government agendas as well. That is the point, isnt it . Of what those children are saying, they wanted on the government agenda. Has the government been to act . What is your analysis of what is going on here . We have achieved a tremendous amount in the last decade in terms of the amount of electricity that comes from renewable sources, regularly well over 50 . Just this morning, we had the latest auction for offshore wind prices hit below £40, so massive, massive moves forward in terms of decarbonising the economy. But an awful lot still to go and arguably some of the hardest thing is, how we decarbonise transport and heat. So what were saying to government as this is probably the biggest thing. Brexit is around, we know, but this is actually bigger than that and we need to be making sure that every policy we are testing to say does this meet net zero . Is this getting us on the road to decarbonising our economy by 2050 or earlier . Is interesting because some people look at these children leaving school and criticise them for skipping classes, do you think the pressure is necessary . for skipping classes, do you think the pressure is necessary . I think it is. I have seen some schools over the last few weeks have side let us make Climate Change part of the curriculum. They teach it in schools because we all have to make differences in time and so there are arguments that yes you have to do all the work but actually i think it is great that we are engaging with young people because this will affect them particularly. In terms of design ideas, they talk of a Green New Deal and a green industrial revolution, are there ideas pie in the sky . Some people say it is unrealistic and cannot be donein say it is unrealistic and cannot be done in the timeframe. We have the technology and can make this happen. We need the policy framework, industry working together with society and government can achieve this. Not by 2025 but we can do it and we need to do it as soon as possible. Thank you for being clear. Canadian prime Ministerjustin Trudeau has faced the cameras for a second time, to address further accusations of racism. It comes after more images emerged of him wearing racially offensive fancy dress. In a fresh statement to reporters, he said he deeply, deeply regretted his behaviour. The revelations come amid campaigning for an election at the end of october, when mr trudeau hopes to win a second term. 0ur north america correspondent, david willis, reports. Applause. Working the crowd. Just a week into his run for re election, Justin Trudeaus campaign is reeling from a scandal that may yet engulf it. 0ther blackface photos have emerged, along with this video from the early 90s, showing a Young Justin Trudeau sticking his tongue out and pulling faces. And the candidate admits there could be more to come. I am wary of being definitive about this because the recent pictures that came out i had not remembered, and i think the question is, how can you not remember that . The fact is, i, i, uh. I didnt understand how hurtful this is to people who live with discrimination every single day. I have always acknowledged that i come from a place of privilege, but i now need to acknowledge that that comes with a massive blind spot. Seen here, welcoming Syrian Refugees into canada, Justin Trudeau had cultivated the image of a champion of diversity. But the blackface row, with its racist overtones, has energised his opponents, who are now calling into question his fitness to govern. Bell tolls. Canada goes to the polls in just overfour weeks time. David willis, bbc news, washington. In a moment well have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news. A day of global Climate Change protests. The aim, to get businesses and governments to cut emissions. Thomas cook faces administration, unless it can raise more funds, leaving 150 , 000 holidaymakers stranded. The brexit secretary is in brussels, for talks with the eus chief negotiator, after the european commisison president said a deal could be done. In the business news. As youve been hearing, thomas cook is racing to secure more rescue funds. The travel company could fall into administration this weekend, unless the it finds an extra £200 million to secure its future. More on this injust a moment. Rbs is the first of the uks big four banks to be led by a woman. Its named alison rose as its new chief executive. Ms rose, whojoined the bank 27 years ago, as a graduate trainee, will replace the incumbent ross mcewan, in november. She will be paid more than her predecessor, with an annual salary of £1. 1 million. And Climate Change commitments. Some of the Worlds Largest firms have promised big spending on green energy plans. Amazon has pledged to be Carbon Neutral by 2040 and google says it will make Record Renewable Energy purchases. The announcements coincides with a day of Climate Action on friday, with strikes being held around the world with with millions due to take part. So, the worlds oldest travel company, thomas cook, is in danger of going into administration this weekend, if the company cannot secure the £200 million in extra funding it needs to secure its future. Thomas cooks banks, including rbs and lloyds, are insisting the cash strapped firm must come up with the new contingency funds, in case it needs extra finance to draw on during the winter months. If thomas cook collapsed, it would leave 150,000 british holiday makers stranded and require the Civil Aviation authority to repatriate them at, an estimated cost of £600 million. Helal miah is Investment Research analyst at the share. Many thanks for joining many thanks forjoining me this morning. Sources close to the talks are insisting that there is still quite reasonable prospects of the deal, but the coming 24 hour is our crucial. The share price is down 20 this morning. It is down to about 3. 5 pand this morning. It is down to about 3. 5 p and it really reflects the fa ct 3. 5 p and it really reflects the fact that the company has been under so much pressure and had so much debt on its books as well. At the moment, in terms of the language being used by the banks, does not look as if they are really willing to put up any extra funding. Celexa pressure will now fall on fosun to see if they are going to stump up extra cash. So it is a critical period and we have the court case where they are expected to seal the 900 million deal and if they do not have anything in place, then the whole rescue package could be in trouble. This is very worrying for people who have booked holidays with thomas cook it is also worrying for the thousands of people the company employs. 9000 in the uk. Should they be worried . Yeah, i am sure they will be. I know they are still taking bookings, but giving the news happening at the moment, you wonder if any travellers would be booking with them. It creates a vicious circle and it could spiral things downwards even quicker. So we have got this weekend to cef anything can be done. Ijust wonder whether there could be any kind of government pressure on the banks to top up theirfunding part pressure on the banks to top up their funding part of the deal. The problems facing thomas cook are not unique to the company. Competition from Online Travel agents, there is a host of issues isnt there . Some of their rivals share prices have more than halved over the last year and it is competition margins, terrorism issues in the last years the unusual weather and more people staying over here in the uk. But for thomas cook themselves, their problems stem from the fact that they were not focused enough online and had to many costly high street stores. Many, many thanks. Lets bring up the market board for you. So it is currently down just over 18. 3 . The conservative party has been targeting older facebook users with political adverts about brexit, according to research by bbc news. In contrast, younger facebook users are being shown ads by the party on issues such as policing and mental health. Lets get more on this, with our reporterjoe tidy. Tell us more and then tell us if this is a problem and why. The research was carried out by the deputy and here we found out that firstly the conservatives are much more active on facebook in terms of advertising than other parties. During the period we looked at their we re during the period we looked at their were almost 700 ads working for the conservatives which compared for almost 300 for the labour party and around 100 for the lib dems. 0ther parties had less than ten during that time. And we noticed some trends. 0lder facebook users were 95 more likely to see adverts around brexit and these are the type of m essa g es around brexit and these are the type of messages you are seeing on the screen now. These mps trying to away our brexit vote, dont let them get away with it, that kind of thing. Under 45, the messages from the conservatives are more around policing and mental health. We also found out a very specific detail here. If you are a woman under 45, and youre a potential new mother, there is a 90 chance you will see an advert for mental how health for new mothers. We also saw that for the lib dems there was a similar distinction with age. They were going for under 45, a different message, stop brexit, with the labour party, we saw a more mixed messaging. No particular strategy that we noticed besides gender targeting. We found a woman, 73 of ads of fox hunting ads would be shown to you. Fascinating. Is there anything wrong with that . Does it d efy anything wrong with that . Does it defy the rules around political campaigning . Absolutely not. We know political campaigns are using facebook, why not . 40 million users in the uk. And with facebook, they have not made their billions by accident, but because they can do such granular targeting down to people. If i wanted to target a man over 45, lives in swindon, likes football, it is easily done. What is interesting is that the period we are in, we are in a brexit crisis it could be said, there is potentially an election on the horizon so it is interesting to look at this research and find out where the battle lines are being drawn. And how they present themselves differently to different target audiences. Thank you. The rapper dave has won the Mercury Prize for his debut album, psychodrama, which has been described as the boldest and best british rap album in a generation. The streatham born star beat anna calvi and the 1975 to win the prize, which recognises the best british album of the last year. Released in march, psychodrama entered the uk charts at number one and has sold nearly 130,000 copies. Thank you. There are always winners and losers with the weather and farmers, growers in the south east of england we have not had much rainfall so far in september. So the news of dry and sunny weather over the next uas is not great news but things will next week. High pressure has changed over the last few days which is why we have this cloud around the outside and on the inside here across the uk, lots of blue skies. So we will keep that sunshine right throughout the afternoon. A bit of cloud eastern and central parts, drifting northwards. Some sunny spells and maximum temperatures today getting up into the low 20s. Interestingly, across scotland, we have an effect where the air gets modified as it passes over the mountainous range of the grampians. 19 celsius in the south west and as the air goes over the grampians it warms so 24 degrees, perhaps the warmest place in the uk today. Through tonight, some cloud, low cloud, moving into the east of scotland so a bit of a gloomy start here. On saturday morning. Elsewhere, clearskies and temperatures down to about nine 11 degrees. For the start of the weekend, a south easterly wind, temperatures will start to rise with that. We start to tap into the warmerair that. We start to tap into the warmer air across the near continent but out towards the west we have this lurking low pressure and the associated weather front which will bring outbreaks of rain for sunday. Saturday starting off a bit cloudy in the north east of scotland which will clear away and for most of us a case of blue skies and sunshine. More cloud into the south west, a few showers likely later in the afternoon. Temperatures will be higher than today. Widely into the mid 20s across many parts of england and wales, and it pressure further north. Through saturday night into sunday we will see this weather front out towards the west move into the east as sunday comes through, the east as sunday comes through, the rain spreads further east but sunnier skies to the south west later in the day and it will stay dry for much of the day in the north east of scotland. The rain moves into eastern areas, temperatures will be lower on sunday because of that cloud. And that rain. Into next week, it is going to stay pretty unsettled. A different week to the one we have just had. Much more autumnal, seasonal, temperatures lower, about the mid to high 20s, outbreaks of rain and some strong winds at times. Thats all. Have a good weekend. Youre watching bbc newsroom live. Its midday and these are the main stories this morning. A day of global Climate Change protests. The aim to get businesses and governments to cut emissions. Around 5,000 demonstrations are planned across 150 countries, including here in the uk, ahead of a un summit on monday. Thomas cook faces administration unless it can raise more funds, which could leave 150 , 000 holiday makers stranded. The brexit secretary heads to brussels for talks with the eus chief negotiator after the European Commission president said a deal could be done. A warning that thousands of teenagers in england are leaving education without the equivalent of five good gcses. That accounts for one in five children, 100,000 children. And, as sadly so often is the case, children who are on free school meals, the poorest children, and children with special Educational Needs fare the worst in the situation. And the first match of the Rugby World Cup, hosts japan versus russia, gets underway. Good afternoon. Welcome to bbc newsroom live. Im carrie gracie. Thousands of british schoolchildren arejoining millions of people, in a worldwide protest against Climate Change. Around five thousand demonstrations are planned across 150 countries. Many will involve young people staying away from school, university or work. Those involved are calling for more urgent action from governments to halt global warming. The demonstrations come ahead of a un summit on Climate Change in new york on monday. This is live in westminster where tens of thousands of people have been gathering for one of the strikes around the uk and these children in harrogatejoined the protest there. This was the scene in leeds a little while ago and we will be live there in a moment. The first protests began in the Pacific Island of vanna white to, that was a few hours ago in veainu white two. Rising sea levels threaten communities there. Berlin is an interesting case, the government has been meeting overnight in an effort to show the seriousness with which it is attempting to tackle Climate Change. Children and adults have been taking to the streets in oslo, the norwegian capital, and there is the scene on a bright and sunny day. 0ur reporter luxmy gopal is at a protest in leeds. Thank you. As you can see, under top people are here by me and hundreds have been gathering throughout the morning at Millennium Square in the heart of Leeds City Centre to protest against Climate Change as pa rt protest against Climate Change as part of the Global Climate strike. The cervical is by me and there are a lot of the action has been sent to the civic hall. There has been singing and dancing and some creative placards. Youth strike for climate is one of the groups that has organised the event. Why was it so important to arrange this . Has organised the event. Why was it so important to arrange thi57m has organised the event. Why was it so important to arrange this . It is massively important, we have been holding these strikes since february and each time they have gained more momentum. As a young people striking, we dont have a voice in parliament, a democratic voice at the moment and this is the best possible way to get onto the street and make our voices heard. This is not the first time this sort of action has been seen in leeds and not long ago a street was brought to a standstill by extinction and rebellion protest so how much of a difference to think these things are happening . Its making a massive difference, we sought Leeds City Council at collect a Climate Emergency in march and the uk government to declared one and the continued momentum of this will be profound and the impact it has will be massive. And as a 17yearold, do you find it frustrating that the message still hasnt got through perhaps . Absolutely and that is why we are still here today because still things have not been done and we need to change drastically. We know we only have 11 years, less than that but what the point where the breakdown is irreversible and thatis the breakdown is irreversible and that is what we will have to deal with if we have not fought for that, i dont know how you can have a conscience about the world. Thank you very much. This is not the end of the action today, there will be a protest march through the city and Extinction Rebellion are holding a vigil tonight so people who have been at work today and have not been able to attend now can make their voices heard this evening at a protest against Climate Change. Thank you very much. 0ur correspondent anne soyjoined protestors in kenyas capital, nairobi, earlier. She explained the complexity of africas climate challenge. There are hundreds of protesters here, Climate Change, climate activists who have come out into the middle of nairobi. They are marching towards the government offices. They have a petition to present there. A number of issues they want to highlight here in Kenya Protection of water towers, prevention of deforestation, as well as asking the government to stop a project to exploit coal for the first time in this country. They say that coal energy is not clean and that is not the way kenya should be going. Here in africa, the impact of Climate Change is already being felt, even though it contributes significantly less to Climate Change itself. We are seeing more recurrent droughts, particularly in southern africa. It means people cannot get food, their livelihoods as farmers are threatened. As well as energy problems, a lot of hydroelectric power depends on rivers and the water levels, when they fall, it means that they cannot have electricity. And we are already seeing rationing of electricity in several countries malawi, zimbabwe, south africa because of that. However, in the north, ethiopia, for instance, is already making strides towards conserving the environment. Just this year, they have planted 350 Million Trees in one day, so they are showing it can be done and how the climate can be preserved. That was from nairobi. This was the scene in sydney earlier today, where tens of thousands of children took to the streets. They were calling for australia, which is the Worlds Largest exporter of coal, to take more drastic action to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions. These people explained why they were taking action. The younger a person is, the more that the change in climate will impact them as they grow and the less of a voice they are given today. Considering we have such a short amount of time to turn this issue around, its young people at the forefront of the conversation because they are impacted more than anyone else. This is the most important issue of our time and im here for my childrens future. It is that important. Greta thunberg, the swedish teenager who started the schools strike for Climate Change just over a year ago, tweeted from new york this morning. She called the pictures from australias strikes incredible and asked activists across the world to share their pictures. Dr Michal Nachmany is a policy expert at the Grantham Institute on Climate Change and the environment. She has two children taking part in todays strikes and joins me now from central london. Your position on this . You obviously work on the datasets involved . Absolutely and what we are seeing globally, from leeds to kenya to australia, is insufficient action. What we really need to see more of its ambitious action worldwide by governments, businesses and civil society. The current ambition that has been stimulative by countries commitment to the Paris Agreement leads us on a dangerous trajectory toa 3. 5 leads us on a dangerous trajectory to a 3. 5 degrees warming and we are already at 1 degrees. To a 3. 5 degrees warming and we are already at1 degrees. We need to make sure our emissions are halved and we have the policy structures in place in order to do that. And obviously the children and students coming out onto the streets to make their voices heard, do you sense that governments and business are going to respond to those voices in a way that they did not respond possibly to the expert voices which have been saying some of this for quite a while . I think we are at a very hopeful moment now because we have some economic tipping points where prices of renewables are dropping, where we have social tipping points where people are understanding more. If you look at recent research, it shows that one of the main concern is for people across multiple countries is Climate Change, more than migration and more than crime even in some countries. We are very close to having a political tipping point. Following the nine months of striking, governments have declared climate emergencies and talked about reducing their emissions. We are nowhere near where they should be, so more pressure is absolutely necessary in order to create that political tipping point. Of the un secretary general at the summit next week will call on countries to ramp up week will call on countries to ramp up their ambitions ahead of what they need to be doing next year, after five years of the Paris Agreement are coming to an end, and when they have to ramp up their ambitions, they really need to think about how they do it in collaboration with the Economic Systems that are already in place and putting new systems in. Which are hugely problematic questions for governments to think about and for businesses to think about, and if your children are on the street, how do you talk to your teenagers about whether the project needs to be applied to governments or to business and, if so, how . Is it a question of boycotting certain goods from companies or Certain Energy companies . First of all, the beautiful thing is that i dont need to talk to my teenagers, they talk to talk to my teenagers, they talk to me about this the understanding and level of maturity we are seeing today amongst young people in the world, who understand they have to be the adults in the room because the adults have failed them, and they need to think about how to make they need to think about how to make the system changes, unfortunately without being able to vote on it or impact or move their Pension Funds around to do this. They are speaking up around to do this. They are speaking up and they understand. The Business Opportunities to date for investing in green infrastructures are overwhelming. 10,000 farmers in the us sent a letter this week calling for a Green New Deal in agriculture, understanding that they have opportunities here and their assets are at risk if they do not undergo massive changes. Businesses across the world today understand this, more Multinational Companies are announcing huge projects. Pension Fund Managers are understanding that the money they managed for the public is at risk, and they are moving. There is not a real problem with businesses, it isjust moving. There is not a real problem with businesses, it is just about putting the policy frameworks in place in order to get stop moving. Thank you forjoining us. The future of travel Company Thomas Cook is hanging in the balance, after it was hit with a last minute demand to find £200 milion in extra funding to secure an Emergency Rescue deal. Our business correspondent, katie prescott, is here to tell us more. That is a significant sum of money to find. It really is, especially when the company is going for a major cash flow crisis and that is partly because of the time of year. Thomas cook has vast amounts of debt. At this time of year, coming for the busy summer season, the Company Needs to pay for hotels and flights that customers will be taken next year, and it needs to have the funds to do that. It is a bit of a perfect storm because with the weak pound at the moment, the company is paying for these holidays in dollars and euros which makes it more expensive for them and it is also a very low margin industry. It is very difficult for them to raise prices for customers, a very competitive market. What the lenders are saying is they want to have an extra cushion in place over the winter months so that, if the Economic Situation worsens, they have something to fall back on. I should say that thomas cook actually has a rescue deal in place and a plan to deal with this debt and its biggest shareholder, the Chinese Company fosun, has made a deal to acquire 7596 fosun, has made a deal to acquire 75 it and that is due to be voted on next friday so what the company is hoping is that they can get the funding in place over the weekend, get to friday in order to mean they can keep trading. And briefly, that is not just a can keep trading. And briefly, that is notjust a worry can keep trading. And briefly, that is not just a worry for holiday makers but also a worry for more than 20,000 staff. Exactly, it isa more than 20,000 staff. Exactly, it is a huge Global Company and i should say, for holiday makers, if you have bought a package holiday with thomas cook, they are underwritten by atol and so any future holiday would be refunded and people on holiday will be able to see their holidays through and they will be brought back if the worst comes to the worst. That is reassuring at least, thank you for that. More on todays main stories coming up on newsroom live here on the bbc news channel, but now we say goodbye to viewers on bbc two. Doctors at the Royal Marsden hospital and the institute of Cancer Research say targeted drugs used on adults with cancer are not being given to children. They claim the rules governing these treatments are too cautious and that, as a result, young Cancer Patients are missing out. Canadian Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau has faced the cameras for a second time to address further accusations of racism. It comes after more images emerged of him wearing racially offensive fancy dress. In a fresh statement to reporters, he said he cannot remember how often he wore the make up as a younger man and that he deeply, deeply regretted his behaviour. The revelations come amid campaigning for an election at the end of october. The headlines on bbc news. A day of global Climate Change protests. The aim to get businesses and governments to cut emissions. Thomas cook faces administration unless it can raise more funds, which could leave 150 , 000 holiday makers stranded. The brexit secretary is in brussels for talks with the eus chief negotiator, after the European Commission president said a deal could be done. Sport now, heresjohn watson. You promised us something, what was ita you promised us something, what was it a question mark rugby the Rugby World Cup is underway, weve had an exciting start to the first match, japan are playing russia in tokyo , the hosts were stunned as they went behind, fumbling an up and under and wing Kirill Golosnitsky scored the first try of this years tournament, but japan responded with a well worked try from kotaro matsushima. They could not convert it so russia still have the lead after about half an hour in the tokyo stadium, 7 5. Weve had some home nations team news today, theyre all in action over the next few days, two of them play each other on sunday. Ireland have named their side to face scotland in yokohama. Its an inexperienced back three, jordan larmour comes in at full back for rob kearney who has a calf problem. Keith earls is also out. Theyre missing 170 caps from those two alone. And as for scotland, sam johnson will play alongside Duncan Taylor at centre for only the second time, but its an experienced side with stuart hogg Sean Maitland and Tommy Seymour reuniting in the back three. England have named their strongest possible side to face tonga on sunday in saporro. Captain 0wen farrell plays at centre alongside manu tuilagi. That means that george ford will play at fly half. So how is the head coach looking forward to the tournament . The world cup is like a roller coaster. We are at the top of the ride now looking down. Everyone is nervous and excited, you get down the first slope and youre not quite sure if youre going to throw up or hang on and you have to adapt to that the players have equipped themselves to ride the roller coaster because there will be some turns, some accidents, there will be some fun. And we want to enjoy all of those things that come along and the team is equipped to handle it. That is what is coming up for england. Jofra archer was one of the stars of englands summer, only making his debut four months ago. Hes been rewarded with a central contract. He was their leading wicket taker at the world cup which they won and he also had a very good test series against australia. He has been given a contract for all forms of the game. Rory burns has been given a test contract but fellow openerjoe denly has just been given a one day contract. I thinkjofra is capable of anything. I chatted with his dad and he thought he would hit 100 mph next year and he thought he would hit 100 mph next yearandi he thought he would hit 100 mph next yearand i said he thought he would hit 100 mph next year and i said i would take that but its important to look after him, its not easy to bowl that police consistently, and he is a fine asset for the team. That pace. All of the details of those contracts are on the bbc sport website. Russia are still leading japan 7 5 in the world cup in tokyo. The European Commission president , jean claude juncker, has said its still possible that a new brexit deal could be reached by the end of october. His comments come ahead of a meeting between the brexit secretary, Stephen Barclay, whos seen here arriving in brussels, and the eus chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, later today. The Prime Minister, borisjohnson said he did not want to exaggerate progress but some was being made. But the irish deputy pime minister Simon Coveney said there is still no solution on the backstop issue. What we are being asked to do, by Steve Barclay and by others, is to replace a guarantee around that border question, which solves it, and we know that, with a promise that somehow we will do our best to try to solve this issue in the future, but we dont know howjust yet. That doesnt sound like a fair deal to me. That was Simon Coveney, the deputy Prime Minister of ireland. Earlier i spoke to our Political CorrespondentJonathan Blake about those key talks between Michel Barnier, the eus chief negotiator, and brexit secretary Stephen Barclay today. Both the eu and uk side are talking in more positive terms than they were, say, a couple of weeks ago. And as you say, jean claudejuncker, the president of the European Commission, so at the very top of the european union, has made it clear that he thinks a deal could be done. And that he found his meeting with borisjohnson, earlier this week, positive. And hes also said that the backstop, the key sticking point, that part of the Withdrawal Agreement that is there to avoid a hard border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland if a trade deal cannot be done, could be replaced, if a solution is found that achieves the same thing. The crucial caveat to that is that a solution has not been found yet, as far as the eu is concerned, at least. But the mood music seems to be reasonably good, Stephen Barclay, the brexit secretary, as you say, is meeting Michel Barnier, the eus chief negotiator in brussels. They have not met for at least a couple of months now, so that is significant in itself. But nobody is really expecting a breakthrough, at this stage, not least because, as you heard in no Uncertain Terms from the irish deputy Prime Minister, that as far as hes concerned and his country is concerned, the uk has not put forward credible alternatives to a backstop and a deal is, in his words, not close. We can get the view from brussels now with our correspondent there, damian grammaticas. Those talks are ongoing, Stephen Buckley and Michel Barnier are meeting in the commission and discussing the content of the papers that the uk presented this week Stephen Barclay. I have to say, echoing pretty much what Simon Coveney, the irish deputy Prime Minister was saying, the sense is that there is nothing new in those papers and in fact there is quite a lot of scepticism and frustration on the eu side that the uk has not yet provided a workable scheme to deal with the irish border and, in fact, what Stephen Barclay was playing out yesterday was exactly as simon cope and it was saying, the idea that the eu should take a risk and sign a deal where mr barclay was saying that the details should be left until after exit and sometime next year to be worked out Simon Coveney. The irish view is that is not good enough, has to a solution now if there is to be a deal. And equally, what the uk is talking about is already moving backwards from where theresa may was and moving to a position of talking about having customs checks on the island of ireland, and that is in summary what you get from Boris Johnsons position. From the eu point of view, if anything, not progress but backwards movement and we will get a sense in a bit when Stephen Barclay comes out, he is due to make some comments, and how it has been but there is little sign to be positive at the minute. Thank you, we will come back to you. A number of conservative Party Members have been suspended for posting or endorsing islamophobic material online. The bbc highlighted more than 20 new cases to the party, who said all those found to be members who shared or supported anti muslim posts on twitter and facebook were suspended immediately. However, the officials would not reveal the exact number of members suspended. A tory spokesman said they were now establishing the terms of an investigation into the wider issue. The childrens commissioner, Anne Longfield, has urged ministers to investigate figures that show a significant increase in pupils leaving school in england without proper qualifications. New Research Says the number of teenagers who dont achieve five good gcses has risen by 28 percent in the last four years. The government says maths and english gcse results have got better, and its working to improve standards across the board. However the childrens commissioner has described the outcomes as shameful. This isnt, of course, just a piece of paper. This is their route to their career, their employment, their income, for the rest of their lives. And what it does mean is that theyre limited, if they dont have that basic set, on the kind of progression they can have. Many wont be able to start basic apprenticeships without that basic set of qualifications. Joining me now is geoff barton, from the association of school and college leaders. Where do you stand on this . Three cheers for the childrens commissioner. Her role is to speak on behalf of children and young people and what she is essentially saying is that all of that time we have spent tinkering with structures and playing around with the curriculum and qualifications and are fixating on making exams cadre has left behind even more young people. It is pretty shameful, as she says, but 100,000 young people, 18 of young people, are not getting gcses or technical qualifications and we have to do something about that if we are truly going to be a world class that if we are truly going to be a world class Education System that works for every child from every background. The Government Defence is that maths and english results have got better at gcse level and it said it is working to improve standards. They would say that, wouldnt they . It was only three or four weeks ago that we were celebrating gcse results i dont know that everybody understands that the way results work at gcse, using something called comparable outcomes to make sure we dont have great inflation from one year to the next means that when we were celebrating the result in english and maths, essentially 35 of children were not getting what is now deemed to be standard pass. We call them the forgotten third and surely come as a nation, we should be giving the dignity of a qualification to every young person after 12 years are being taught through primary and secondary school, they can show something to show they can do the basics in english and maths but at the moment, gcse is not fulfilling that purpose. So what is the answer . People like you have been making these points, we have seen you on our set for years not so in what way can you get through to the government on this point . can you get through to the government on this point . I think Anne Longfield is reminding us that this is an extraordinary level of Collateral Damage that those young people are written off and not able to go on to do other things. One of the reasons for that is we have seen the reasons for that is we have seen the government essentially talk endlessly about academic success and rather draw attention away from the kind of qualifications that can show young people can do other things. At some point, as a nation, we have to say that of course academic basics are important but there are other skills and quality patient as well and that is about the dignity of young people and what we are proposing is something that, whether you are 14, 15 or 16, you can show employers with a piece of paper that ican, like employers with a piece of paper that i can, like a driving test would show you can drive them i can do the basics of english and maths and that is the conversation we are having with the department for education. Thank you very much. Time for a look at the weather with darren. And good afternoon, we have a strong wind across the uk but it is dry and sunny and warm in the sunshine with the cloud from east anglia breaking up the cloud from east anglia breaking up and heading into yorkshire and lincolnshire and those are the temperatures, probably top in aberdeenshire of 24 degrees. Because of the wind over not dont need to worry about fog, and not as cold, with some cloud to push into eastern parts of scotland and those are the temperature is in towns and cities overnight. Tomorrow, cloud increasing in the southwest and west wales, later in Northern Ireland, maybe a couple of showers but elsewhere it will be trite with lots of sunshine and a noticeable south to south easterly breeze it will be dry. Highest temperatures of 24 or 25. Weather changes on sunday, showers pushing up from the south west and they could be heavy and thundery and behind that we have and thundery and behind that we have a band of heavy rain pushing northwards towards scotland. Temperatures up to 23 degrees ahead of that rain and then it will be fresher and cool down towards wales and the south west late in the day. Hello this is bbc newsroom live. The headlines. A day of global Climate Change protests. The aim, to get businesses and governments to cut emissions. Around 5,000 demonstrations are planned across 150 countries, including here in the uk, ahead of a un summit, on monday. Thomas cook faces administration, unless it can raise more funds, which could leave 150,000 holiday makers stranded. The brexit secretary arrives in brussels, for talks with the eus chief negotiator, after the european commisison president said a deal could be done. As weve been reporting tens of thousands of people worldwide have joined protests against Climate Change, including many school children. Around 5,000 demonstrations are planned across 150 countries ahead of a un summit on Climate Change, in new york on monday. Duncan kennedy has been following todays events around the world. Home to 7. 5 billion people. Beautiful, but fragile. Robust, but warming. And today, the stage for a global message. The Pacific Islanders of vanuatu helped send the first of those messages. And no wonder. Their low lying homes could be among the first to disappear, if levels rise. In sydney, children also put climate before classroom. Thousands marching with teachers and other workers to call for Government Action to cut Greenhouse Gas emissions. The younger a person is, the more that the change in climate will impact them as they grow and less of a voice they are given today. Considering we have such a short amount of time to turn this issue around, its vital that young people at the forefront of the conversation because they will be impacted more than anyone else. I think this is the most important issue of our time and im here for my childrens future. I think it is that important. This isnt a fringe movement, this isnt a green issue, this isnt a lefty issue, this is a human issue. We have to stop making political advantage of this issue and unite the country behind a crisis approach to dealing with modifying our economy to be carbon free. Its absolutely essential the Swedish Environmental activist, Greta Thunberg, later tweeted her support. The new day in south africa brought singers and dancers onto the streets. Here in johannesburg, they also wanted to send a message to next weeks un conference on Climate Change that the speed of action be increased. In india, the crowd seemed more modest. But, in a country whose economy is expanding at around 7 a year, the government has argued growth can exist alongside climate control. From thailand, where this was still a day that found room for humour. To berlin, where the crowds gathered to demand change. Many governments say they are already taking action, in what is being called a policy race to the top. But todays protesters say it is the speed of that ascent that may not be enough. A committee of mps says the Current System in england. Forfining people who unfairly claim free health treatment, is not fit for purpose. The Public Accounts Committee says 1. 7 million penalty notices have been issued incorrectly about a third of all fines imposed. Meg hillier is the chair of the Public Accounts Committee, and joins me now. This sounds like a colossal number it is but the system is all wrong. Instead of helping people who should be entitled to claim, there are more penalties at the other end. To fill out a prescription form, there is a 24 page guidance booklet, the prescription is only one page. If it is that complex, there is a real problem. And so who are you aiming this message at . Is it chiefs of nhs trust . Know we think this goes more to the department of health. We look at the effectiveness, it is not policy about how you should qualify, but if it is that complicated, then thatis but if it is that complicated, then that is very bad. And with this, a third of the fines being overturned, a lot of people are caught up in a vortex of bureaucracy as they try to rectify a problem and we worry that people will just face rectify a problem and we worry that people willjust face up to paying the £100 fine. Because they cant face the anxiety of facing up to the bureaucracy . Exactly. It has a very complex system to navigate. And if you are entitled to the free treatment it should be explained how you get that entitlement. Is what exactly you get that entitlement. Is what exa ctly d o you get that entitlement. Is what exactly do you want the department of health to do . It there are different benefits which allow you to have different benefits, there is just more bureaucracy for people, they need to make it clear to people what they are entitled to do. But the system has become too complex. And you set it is 24 pages to issue a one restriction. How many pages can you get it down to . There are government decisions which have had an impact on this, intra juicing universal credit introducing universal credit introducing universal credit introducing universal credit ramps up prescriptions, which type of universal credit you are on dictates which kind of prescription you are entitled to. So that becomes very complex. When the government introduces new benefits and entitlements, they need to think how it fits into the Current System and thatis it fits into the Current System and that is the problem, it has grown up this way so good intentions initially, become more challenging and dentists have been very upfront with them about how difficult it is. Your advice is going to government. What would you say to members of the public who may be getting one of these penalty notice and think they are being presumed guilty, what should they do . First all, if you are guilty, pay up. If not, you should certainly challenge it and if necessary go to your mp but that should be a last resort. There is a challenge process as a fact is that a third of the fines have been overturned. Thank you. A group known as the hooded men have won the latest stage of their legal battle to force a Police Investigation into alleged torture by the Security Forces in Northern Ireland in the 1970s. The court of appeal in belfast dismissed an appeal by the Police Service of Northern Ireland against an earlier ruling that police should revisit a decision this is a touchstone case, and how you investigate what happened in the troubled past in Northern Ireland but also it has generated wide attention because of the nature of the case. This is about 14 men who have become known, over time, as the hooded men. They were subjected to interrogation techniques by the army and police. Amnesty have been following the case of these men and supporting them basically ever since then, so they have documented what happened to them. They were put in hoods, put in stress positions, white noise was played, they were deprived of food and water and sleep and physically assaulted. So for the last few years, the 9 surviving hooded men have been taking the case through the courts to force a Police Investigation into these allegations of torture. They want the initial stage of that battle, they won that initial stage and this morning the Northern Ireland court of appeal has once again ruled in favour of the hooded men. Northern irelands most senior judge said that if the treatment meted out to these men happened today, it would be classified as torture. So again, the onus is on the police to respond. There is an expectation amongst the hooded men themselves that the police will appeal again and take it to the highest court in the uk, the supreme court, but for now, they are very pleased that this latest stage of their legal fight has been won and they say they are determined to see this i understand it wasnt unanimous . One of the three appeal courtjudges issued a dissenting judgment and in essence, he questioned how wise it was to continue to bring Court Actions in respect to the past in Northern Ireland because, for example, he noted that as time passes, it is 48 years since the men were interned, the chances of getting a successful prosecution becomes less and less with the passage of time. So, the men outside the court, the two of them who where there, both said that they strongly disagree with what the judge had to say but they say that they acknowledge it will be a difficult to secure prosecutions, if the Police Investigation does get under way eventually, they do still think it is worthwhile. Journalists have been allowed into one of the Saudi Oil Refineries that was severely damaged by missiles and drones last weekend. The United States says iran was behind the attack which took out 5 of the worlds oil production. Iran strongly denies involvement. 0ur security correspondent Frank Gardner sent this report from the scene. What we are looking at here is what is called a separation tower. This is where the oil field, part of operations, separates out the gas and oil from the crude mix that comes out of the ground. This is what they have got to do before they can even transport it and export it, it is a vital beating heart of this countrys oil economy and that is really what this country depends on. But the incoming missiles that smashed into this and further east, another processing plant, crippled temporarily around half the countrys capacity. They have managed to repair quite a bit of it but the question is this. While there is still the huge rivalry between saudi arabia and iran, and the yemen war is continuing, what is to stop this happening again . Missiles were able to penetrate through saudi arabias very expensive, multibillion dollar defences, that they bought at vast cost from the west and there is now a lot of head scratching trying to work out how to protect places like this, this vulnerable critical infrastructure, from a repeat attack. Now, a special report from the Victoria Derbyshire programme, about a boy called rhys williams, whos 14 tomorrow and lives in constant pain from a severe life limiting condition. He has epidermolysis bullosa, which leads to excessive tearing of the skin, blistering, difficulties in swallowing and his fingers and toes being fused together. Ahead of his birthday, rhys friends have got together to show him just how loved he is. And a warning that you may find some of the pictures in clairejones film distressing. Sometimes i struggle to move in bed. Because im really sore. Everywhere is sore. Painful, every day. 24 7, just pain. It affects him everywhere and internally, as well. He gets mouth blisters, in his throat. His throat can close up. The tongues fused to the bottom of his mouth. Obviously, all his fingers and toes are fused. Rhys has a rare life limiting and agonising skin condition, called epidermolysis bullosa or eb which causes skin to become very fragile and can blister or tear, at even the slightest touch. Its estimated there are 5,000 People Living with eb in the uk. Currently, theres no known cure. Rhys was born with the condition and has been living with the effects, ever since. He has protective dressings all over his body, to prevent infection and, as soon as blisters arise, they are popped with a sterile needle. He has a bath once a week, to fully clean his wounds, and all of his dressings are then replaced. I think hes got to that age now, where hes realising that things are difficult for him to do, like go out with his friends and stuff like that. Just one night, he was in so much pain, he sent me a text wishing that the butterflies would come and take him. Because hed had enough, hed had enough of the pain. That was. That was heartbreaking. We were talking, just now, about eb being a life limiting condition. So, for you to reach another birthday, what does that mean to you . It feels like. Its another year ive gone through, of being sore, all day, every day. But a Public Appeal for birthday cards by rhyss mum has lifted his spirits. Weve had nearly 18,000 cards now. Hes had hundreds upon hundreds of presents. Rhys, keep smiling and dont give up hope that, one day, things will get better for you. Isnt that nice . Now that i know that people actually do care, about my condition and that, its made me feel a lot better. We wish you all the best for your birthday. Bird populations in asia and the us are in crisis, according to two major studies. The first says there are 3 billion fewer birds in the us and canada today compared to 1970. The second claims that on the island of java in indonesia, more birds now live in cages than in the wild. 0ur science correspondent victoria gill has been to java find out more. Sold in their thousands every day injava, indonesia, the songbird trade is thriving. It is fuelled by a National Passion for birdsong. Singing competitions, like this, take place all over the country, every weekend. But it is also driving an extinction crisis. Dozens of species, caught from the forests, to supply the trade, are disappearing from the wild, and scientists studying this say it has now reached a tipping point. Java is an island about the size of england, and we estimate that theres around 75 million birds in captivity. Thats probably more than there may be in the wild, which is a very serious issue for the island and its wider environment. This is one of two major studies, published today, that point to a global crash in bird populations. The other, a project carried out by scientists in the us and canada, examined 50 years of bird surveys in north america. It revealed that there are three billion fewer birds on the continent today, than there were in 1970. Habitat loss, driven by human activity, has been blamed, but the researchers are actually optimistic that their conclusions could be a wake up call, triggering action to protect vital habitats and migration routes. And in indonesia, the widespread love of the birds could provide a catalyst for them to be protected in the wild. The headlines on bbc news. A day of global Climate Change protests. The aim to get businesses and governments to cut emissions. Thomas cook faces administration, unless it can raise more funds, which could leave 150,000 holidaymakers stranded. The brexit secretary is in brussels for talks with the eus chief negotiator after the european commisison president said a deal could be done. A german icebreaking ship is setting off for the north pole on whats being described as the biggest arctic science expedition of all time. The plan is for the German Research ship, polarstern, to drift with the sea ice for an entire year, allowing hundreds of scientists to visit and study the climate. Earlier, our science corresponent, jonathan amos, explained the enormity of the project to annita mcveigh. This is an enormous undertaking by the germans and, of course, they cannot do it on their own. They need the support of the international community, the russians, the chinese, the swedes are all lending icebreakers to support this ship, but it is going to leave norway this evening. It will head to the russian side of the arctic, to the siberian side, and it will find a suitable place to lock itself in the ice. The ice is very constrained at the moment. It is midsummer. We are about to announce probably the Second Lowest arctic ice extent in recorded history, so it is very slim at the moment but they will find a place and then they will just drift. They will cut the engines and just drift. Ok, so when you say they are going to lock themselves in place, they will not be deciding the direction of travel, they will go where the ice takes them . They will go with the ice. Now, the general drift is from the siberian side, over to the north east of greenland. They must get it right, they must get the right place because there is kind of like a magic point near the north pole which, if you are too far to the west, you will get dragged into what they call the beaufort gyre, which is this clockwise direction of currents and, if you are in that, they will struggle to get out. Ok, that would put paid to all their plans. What exactly are they going to be studying . The arctic is warming at twice the rate of the rest of the planet. But we know very little about what goes on in the arctic. One of the reasons is we dont go there in winter. It is brutal, it is permanently dark. Only if you are a polar bear do you live up there and work up there. So, we want to put scientists up there with their instruments to try to understand the different processes. How the atmosphere interacts with the ice, with the ocean, and then we can take that information and put it in our computer models and then decide how is the climate going to vary in the coming decades. Because, if you look at the models today, they are very uncertain about what is going to happen in the arctic and we need to understand it. You know, very soon ships, containerships, will be going right across the north pole to cut the journey times between asia, europe and north america. And just finally, jonathan, on a practical level, are they taking all the supplies with them that they need for this year . Because at some point they are going to be absolutely locked in the ice, arent they, in the depths of winter . So, the support icebreakers will take supplies and relief teams for a while, but midwinter, the ice will be too thick and at that point they will, try to fly a plane in. They are going to prepare a runway next to the ship. If that doesnt work, then they are going to have to use long range helicopters. But, if that doesnt work they have got enough supplies on board to certainly last a couple of months and then they will get relief, when the ice starts to break up in the spring and summer. Fascinating to spend a year on there. Next week, across bbc news. Well be taking a close look at the city of stoke on trent as part of our we are series. The city at the heart of the staffordshire pottery industry is made up of six towns tunstall, burslem, hanley, stoke, fenton and longton. 0ne city, six towns, brings a number of challenges. This is a city which voted brexit but is politically labour. 0ur editorial director kamal ahmed met with people at the Potteries Museum and art gallery to find out what makes stoke tick. Welcome to the Potteries Museum and art gallery in stoke on trent. This is our first art gallery in stoke on trent. This is ourfirst in art gallery in stoke on trent. This is our first in the series, will third in the series. It is an attempt by bbc news to get out of london and properly cover the regions of england as well as the nations of the united kingdom. But really it is about the audience talking to us about how we should be covering what is important to them. This will be a week of special coverage from stoke on trent. Guided by these fabulous guests we have put together in the Potteries Museum. About what they think is important, how they would like to see their city, the places they lead and work, how they want those issues to be covered. There is a degree of fear in the city. We are scared of ourselves and our schizophrenic six towns nature. There is something beautifully crazy and mad about the fa ct beautifully crazy and mad about the fact that is the way we work. I think it should be embraced. And as we sit here, under the wonderful icons that decorate us, i do wonder sometimes, do we not realise there is something about the juice and the actual soil of this area which has allowed us to be one of the most creative places on earth. We are a place where we have taken the ground itself and made it into something which you can see all around you. Not many places on this planet can actually argue that. I am quite shocked by less nature of the tyne pound bus return fare in a small city. The transport network has separated the towns effects because the towns do not Work Together because there is no connectivity. Working with young people, public transport is very poor. People really struggle to get around and get to places one of the real problems, if you go from the southernmost town to the northernmost town, if you try to make that journey by public transport, it would take at least an hour longer than your trip up from london today. How long would it take . Two and a half hours. Then, do you live and work in stoke . And from a younger perspective, what do you feel you would like to see covered about this city . There are a lot more things in birmingham and manchester to do for people my age and younger. That you stay in stoke. It has nothing, there is not really manyjobs it has nothing, there is not really many jobs and a it has nothing, there is not really manyjobs and a lot of people who are finishing university in hull are going elsewhere. They do not want to have anything to do with stoke on trent. Have anything to do with stokeontrent. Challenges faced here are no different than they are in other post industrialised cities. What we have had over the last ten years or more is a recognition that there is no white knight out there whos going to come back, we have to stand up and take responsibility for ourselves. What should be next for stoke on trent . Ourselves. What should be next for stokeontrent . I think we should be going to the unesco creative city, we have what no other city in the world has that would allow us to have those other bidding process we we nt have those other bidding process we went through our short lived. I unesco city has longevity. What are the main challenges and issues we should be covering . The biggest problem is pride. In years gone by, people made beautiful things like that peacock behind you. They were proud of what they made. Now they are answering phones and stocking supermarket shelves. Can i mention politics as a mirror of society. We used to have nine bnp councillors, more than any other city in the country. Quite recently, we are third or second biggest brexit supporter. And none of this tells us exactly what we are and who we are. What it does tell us is that there is an immense amount of disenchantment here. How would you like to see this serious project touch on in stoke . I love stoke on trent. There is so much opportunity, an abundance of opportunities scratch spirit, we have our issues and we need to focus on that, but there is also a lot of great stuff in the city like house prices. You can get on the property market, a better standard of living, family life balance. We have a problem with outside people seeing insight and that has to change, because i remember a lot of reports the bbc have done and i think if i was the bbc have done and i think if i was in my rolls royce or bentley coming through the m6 at birmingham to invest so much millions here, i would tell the chauffeur to turn around, ido would tell the chauffeur to turn around, i do not want to go to stoke on trent. That is the perception you get from the media. Stoke on trent. That is the perception you get from the mediae isa perception you get from the mediae is a coal mining place and what is the greatest thing that caught produces sometimes . A diamond. Crushed pressure. And it is a diamond in the city that needs to be brought out. On that positive note, thank you also much, that was really enjoyable and invigorating and will really help us cover your great city, the positives as the some of the challenges. Now its time for a look at the weather with darren bett. Another lovely day and most parts of the country are enjoying blue skies. Temperatures have been rising fairly quickly. You can see most of the cloud is around the edges of the uk. This band of cloud is going to bring a change as we head further into the weekend. That area of cloud has been affecting east anglia will break up as it heads into lincolnshire and york yorker. There is a stronger recently, particularly across wales and the south west and Northern Ireland. Temperatures in aberdeenshire could reach 23 or 24 degrees. A lovely end to the day. Getting quickly. Not as cold as last night because the south westerly breeze will keep going overnight tonight keeping any fog at bay. This cloud pushes up into eastern parts of scotla nd cloud pushes up into eastern parts of scotland so it will not be as cold last night as it was. The High Pressure that has brought them sunshine is slipping its way into Continental Europe which is why the winds are picking up. Breeze, drawing the warm air across the uk into the start of the weekend. As the weekend goes on, these weather fronts will encroach from the south west and we may start seeing the cloud increase in western parts of wales and South West England with a few shoppers arriving elsewhere dry with lots of sunshine around. A fairly noticeable breeze for the south or south east. Temperatures higher in england and south wales, 24, 20 4 degrees, 20 higher in england and south wales, 24,20 4 degrees, 20 or 21 in many places. 0vernight the weather starts to change. Showers breaking out which could turn heavy and thundery. Then we have got the main band of rain coming in behind that the whole lot pushing from the south west, this rain could be quite heavy working its way northwards towards scotland. Clearing from wales and the south west, wind direction changing and it gets a bit cooler and fresher. Temperatures, 21, 22, 23 degrees ahead of that potentially and thundery rain. Next week, it will be cooler, temperatures into the high teens. When they are and we will also see find some showers for longer spells of rain, the weather is changing. This schoolchildren lead a world wide protest against Climate Change. It could be the biggest demonstration yet against global warming, with protests planned in more than 150 countries. The younger a person is, the more the changing climate will impact them as they grow and the less of a voice theyre given today. Well have the latest from our correspondents in sydney, nairobi and paris. Also this lunchtime. A race against time for thomas cook. They must find £200 million to stay in business. New brexit talks in brussels, but is a deal any closer . The attacks on saudi arabias oil installations, our security correspondent is at the scene. The missiles were able to penetrate through saudi arabias very expensive multi billion dollar defences that they bought
