And his friend josh. It may not bring millions of shoppers to mid wales, but it is delivering a bit of festive cheer. Hywel griffith, bbc news, rhayader. Brilliant. Time for a look at the weather. This was janets window in argyll and bute, probably the worst of the wet and windy fare. Small comfort that you are not alone . Probably not. Look at the number of isobars on the chart. At least they are running from a south westerly direction so the air is mild and moist to say the least, and there is plenty of air too, we will come to the gusts in a moment. Across this quarter it been raining, and the rainfall totals will mount up. Up to 80 millimetres widely over the high ground, but that is half of the story because when we take a look at the wind strengths as well, we see wind gusts up to 60 mph. That will be disruptive over the bridges for example, speed restrictions, some of the ferries may have an issue. Further east after a chilly start, struggling, but at least you are drier there until overnight at least the rain slumps across the british isles, another wee front to the very far north of scotland. But the thing you will notice as you start your day on friday as it is going to be so day on friday as it is going to be so much milder right across the piste so you wont be scraping the first thing. You might get a bit damp until the first thing. You might get a bit damp untilthe rain first thing. You might get a bit damp until the rain moves out, then a day of blustery showers. But for the eastern side of britain particularly, im not promising you will be completely dry, but certainly in the south you will be staying on the mild side. A little bit cooler further north and a chilly start to the weekend because we have what we call a transient ridge and it is transient because it is on the move. 0nce ridge and it is transient because it is on the move. Once it moves away and takes the prospect of dry weather with it, it turns wet and windy. Thats not such a problem across much of england and wales. You are going to have a decent sort of saturday, but again overnight that combination of wet and windy weather piles its way across the british isles. Some of that wet weather may be in the far south east to start your sunday, then look at the number of isoba rs to start your sunday, then look at the number of isobars again. Sunday another blustery sort of day, wet and windy fair. That is the average speed, and its getting stronger. But she wants a monday, a brighter and chilly sort of day, so no two days are the same. Jane. Thats all from the bbc news at one, so its goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbcs news teams where you are. Good afternoon. Your latest sports news.

The everton owner is due to arrive today to confirm a decision following their dumping to confirm a decision following theirdumping in the to confirm a decision following their dumping in the merseyside derby. David moyes is believed to be under consideration as an interim replacement. Everton have never been relegated from the premiership but are now in the bottom three. It was always going to be a difficult game tonight but the defeat to put you in the bottom three, does that change anything for you . Lam not you . I am not the right person to answer. You have to asked this question for different people because i am not the pope i different people because i am not the pope lam not the right person. To italy, where a sports newspaper has been heavily criticised for its headline. Here it is black friday, on the back of corriere dello sport with pictures of Romelu Lukaku and Chris Smalling ahead of inter milans game against roma on friday. Roma say the intention of the article was positive but it has been ruined by a terrible headline. The paper itself says its an innocent headline that is being turned into poison by those who have poison inside themselves. Anthonyjoshua says hes punching like a Kicking Horse ahead of his re match against andy ruinunior. They fight in saudi arabia on saturday night, withjoshua looking to win back the heavyweight title belts he lost to ruiz in that shock defeat in june. Joshua says hes had to re assess they way he prepares for this fight. I tell you, i am punching like a horse kicking back right now. My kinetic chain, my rhythm, theres no tension in my body. We say loose and heavy, loose and heavy. Rhythm and flow. That is what boxing is about. Were going back to the 70s. That is what the afro is out. 70s fighters. Ive just been studying his game. Rather than doing weights and stuff like that, im just going tojust box, man. 0ur reporter ade adedoyin is in saudi arabia, he says its clear thatjoshuas new training regime has made a difference. He is like the different man from new york, he is very focused, there isa new york, he is very focused, there is a different intensity about him. He has told us he might weigh in tomorrow under 17 stone and if he does that it will be his lightest for five years. It will tell you his focus is more on speed to negate the threat andy ruiz focus is more on speed to negate the threat andy ruinunior poses, utilising his height and reach. 0ne boxer who knocked out lennox lewis in south africa is here and told me the weight loss might work against anthonyjoshua because the weight loss might work against Anthony Joshua because he the weight loss might work against anthonyjoshua because he might be drained as the fight goes on. You can see how determined Anthony Joshua is, he is almost on edge which is not necessarily a bad thing, it may have been the missing ingredient first time round. This time round you can sense he does not wa nt to time round you can sense he does not want to lose this rematch. Theres live snooker going on right now. Were into the last 16 of the uk championships at the Barbican Centre in york. This is reigning champion ronnie 0sullivan against ding junhui. Theres been some big names knocked out early this year. 0sullivan will be keen to avoid a slip up today. He is trailing 2 0 at the moment. The first to six in that best of ii. You can follow it on bbc two and the bbc sport website. Thats all the sport for now. We will talk a little bit more about the election. There s only one week to go until polling day for the general election and we ve been following the online battleground closely. There s been fake news, disinformation, doctored videos and millions spent on adverts. Our digital election reporterjoe tidy has been taking a look at how the campaign has been playing out on social media. Whilst the rules of engagement on the physical campaign trail are semi defined, online, its a free for all and, so far, weve pretty much seen it all. The election got off to a controversial start with this conservative party video of keir starmer. The video was edited to make it seem as if the labour shadow brexit secretary was tongue tied, but he wasnt, it was branded as irresponsible but the conservative party stood by it and watched it go viral. Another video that caused a bit of a fizz, was this one, which almost got the labour backing Momentum Group sued by coca cola. The soft drinks giant issued legal letters saying youve got to take it down, which they did. Elsewhere in the Labour Movement, Jeremy Corbyn, at least on social media, is having a very good election campaign. These sorts of tweets have been put out by his team, very pointed, very personal, attacking billionaires and elites, and weve also seen lots of off the cuff style videos as well 0verall, Jeremy Corbyns posts on facebook are doing better than all the parties put together. He is getting more likes, more shares, more reactions than anybody else. We are also seeing some of these style videos for the conservatives, this one by borisjohnson has been viewed millions of times. 0verall, across social media, its the conservatives winning across all platforms. They are getting all the likes, all the shares, all the noise. But not all that noise is good. During one of the itv debates, this happened, the conservative Party Press Office rebranded their twitter account Fact Checking organisation. Again, they were widely criticised and, again, they stood by it. But they are not the only party that has been up to tricks. There has been a fierce battle taking place over the Google Search bar, with parties buying up the keywords of their rivals to try and hijack voters browsing. So, for example, a few weeks ago, if you had typed in boris brexit deal, you would have seen an advert for this website. Made for and paid for by the brexit party. But the real money in this election is being spent here, facebook and instagram, almost £2 million has been spent so far. The liberal democrats have consistently been spending the most, and had the most number of active adverts. Thousands at any one time, highly targeted, adverts like, for example, these ones, these bar charts. They are controversial, they have no figures attached to them. Only recently have the labour party caught up and overtaken on spending. Theres also been a fair amount of fake news and disinformation in this election, including a very strange story aboutjo swinson murdering squirrels. That seems to have come from a member of the public but observers have noticed a different trend in this election. What we have actually seen more than anything is the Political Parties themselves providing the most disinformation or misinformation. Its quite extraordinary to us that these tactics have been so brazen and they are almost doing the job for anyone outside who might want to disrupt the agenda. It will be up to the next government to decide what rules they want in place for the next election. In the meantime, there is another whole week of this campaign on and off line. Tomorrow night, Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn will go head to head in the bbc prime ministerial debate. If you have a question youd like to ask, visit the website hosted by Nick Robinson on bbc one, friday sixth december from 8. 30pm. Earn a look at a few other stories this lunchtime. A woman in india who had been raped is in Critical Condition after being set on fire, whilst travelling to her own court case. Five men have been arrested including two of the rape suspects. India has faced greater scrutiny in recent years after a spate of high profile rape cases. 0ur correspondent in delhi rajini Vaidya Nathan has more details. This young woman was on her way to a Court Hearing in relation to a rape case that she had filed against two men earlier this year, when police say she was accosted by a group of men. They took her to a nearby area. Reports say she was assaulted before she was set alight, and reports say that she actually ran with her clothes on fire to try and get help. She was taken to a hospital, and as you mention there, she sustained severe burns, and as of now remains in a Critical Condition. Now, one of the more alarming details in this case is that two of the five men who have been arrested, two of those men are actually the two men she accuses of raping her. And one of them was only recently released on bail, which does beg the question was she protected enough in this situation . Thats what people have been asking here today. Why was this man released, who is allegedly involved in this attack today. A shooting at a Us Military Base at Pearl Harbour in hawaii has left three people dead including the gunman. The killer believed to be a sailor opened fire shooting dead two people before killing himself. Its thought the victims are us military contractors. One person has been injured. A 17 year old boy is in a life threatening condition after being shot in north london. Police say they were called to green lanes in haringeyjust after iipm last night to a report of a teenager with a gunshot wound. No arrests have been made. A row has broken out between germany and russia, just before a summit to discuss the Peace Process in ukraine. Chancellor Angela Merkel has said her government has expelled two Russian Diplomats because of moscows failure to help an investigation into the murder in berlin of a former Chechen Rebel commander. Russia has warned that it will retaliate. Bill hayton reports. August this year, and German Police are investigating a murder in the Tiergarten Park in berlin. The victim is a former chechen fighter, zelimkhan khangoshvili, shot in the head by a man on an electric bicycle. The alleged assassin was arrested almost immediately, and now awaits trial in a german prison. Although travelling on a false passport, the German Authorities believe him to be russian. The Russian Embassy is refusing to help, so germany has expelled two diplomats, believed to be intelligence officers, despite the risk of damaging relations with moscow. Translation in the first instance, we took these measures because we did not see that russia was supporting us in clearing up this matter. We are also, of course, in bilateral contact with our allies. The russian government denies any involvement in the killing. A kremlin spokesman called it absolutely groundless speculation, whipped up the german media. Chancellor merkel and president putin are due to meet in paris on monday at a summit to push forward the Peace Process in ukraine. Following prisoner exchanges and troop withdrawals, there are hopes for some kind of agreement to end the conflict. But, as these soldiers know, that depends on goodwill between all sides, and that is in short supply. The headlines on bbc news. With a week to go before the country goes to the polls the Political Parties are out pushing their big election pledges. French Police Fire Tear gas at protesters, as the biggest nationwide strike in years brings chaos. A warning of hidden waiting lists as bbc research discovers delays for thousands of Mental Health patients in england. Over a million pills of the drug diazepam were seized by uk Border Force Agents last year more than double the figure in 2017. Diazepam is a tranquiliser often marketed as valium and its illegal without a prescription from a doctor. Its often used to treat anxiety or insomnia, but its addictive and dangerous when taken with alcohol or other drugs. Figures released to the Victoria Derbyshire programme found that in 2017 the number of illegal pills seized was just over half a million. In 2018, that figure had gone up to well over a million. Vicky spratt has the story. Diazepam can be prescribed for anxiety, but its highly addictive. When people cant get what they want from their doctor, some are turning to illegal websites to get what they need, often not knowing whether what theyre buying is real or fake. We dont know exactly how many people are buying illegal or fake diazepam online, but its enough for the medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency the mhra to have made seizing it a priority in the last year. Exclusive figures obtained from the mhra show that over the last year officers like maggie have seized more than 1. 3 million doses of diazepam. In the uk, diazepam is a class c drug. Possessing it without a prescription is illegal and carries a maximum prison sentence of two years. The problem is so big that this clinic, the addiction to 0nline medicine service, has been set up by the nhs in west london. The main drug that weve seen in the clinic so far has been a drug called diazepam, which is perhaps more commonly known as valium. People are experiencing high anxiety or severe depression or sometimes chronic pain, and they find that these drugs, when they take them, make them feel better. But actually, over time, their dose goes up and up and up. Jasmine became addicted in her early 20s. A year ago, she accidentally bought a batch of fakes and went into withdrawal. I couldnt sleep, i was being sick, i was sweating. I was depressed, i was, like, lying on my sofa, crying. I couldnt speak to anybody, couldnt go out. More needs to be done through the health services, through enforcement agencies, through Public Health departments. Its hard to see how we are actually going to tackle this, because availability online is so easy. So, ive found this website on the first page of google. It looks pretty professional. And its offering me ten milligram pills of diazepam, 1a of them for 24. 99. Ive clicked through and said i want to buy them. All three of the batches arrived in the post two days later. Morning. Hi. The next step was having them tested by experts at St Georges University hospital in south london to see what was actually in them. Two of the batches we ordered did contain diazepam, but one was actually a completely different drug. I mean, it looks like it matches the box. Yeah, its the same name. But its completely fake . Mm hmm. We just dont know the true extent of this problem because figures only reflect the parcels that the border force successfully intercept. What we do know is that the people who are buying diazepam online are taking serious risks with their health. Lets go to westminster, where thejewish Labour Movement is speaking about their submission to the equality and Human Rights Commission over the labour partys handling of anti semitism allegations. Where there are findings in relation to other forms of divination the function will be much more severe. There is significant evidence in submissions there has been political interference from the Party Leadership and that has become institutional. Individuals affiliated with the leaders of this are in the unit investigating complaints. Information is passing between the leaders of this ad investigating unit. It is passed secretly by whatsapp groups, to make it difficult to trace which would suggest processes that are supposed to be independent and are not. These allegations are supported by 70 different individuals and written material. The whistle blowers are protected under Employment Law ad must not be targeted. These accounts all point towards the same conclusions. As the submission states, anti semitism in the labour party is a pervasive culture that is present in all parts of the party. Local party meetings, party conferences, online forums, the disciplinary processes, its officials. The scale of anti semitism as reported by labour is inaccurate. Lasting changes need to be made. The evidence laid out in the submission shows the labour party is unable and unwilling to do so. Until lastjuly, i so. Until last july, i was so. Until lastjuly, i was employed by the labour party as its acting director of governance and legal. In my time there, i witnessed first hand the my time there, i witnessed first hand the complete my time there, i witnessed first hand the complete failure of the party processes adequately deal with anti semitism. I witnessed daily interference in the process milling my team and i who are responsible for discipline in the party were simply unable to do our jobs. In a prolonged period my team andl jobs. In a prolonged period my team and i were put in the intolerable position of witnessing widespread racism in the party and not having the support of those above us to tackle the problem effectively. A position so intolerable it affected the Mental Health or myself and my team to the point whereby the end i considered taking my own life. All of usjoined the labour party because we believed in its true value is antiracism and social justice. When it just value is antiracism and social justice. When itjust a violation of those values by the very people meant to be leading our meant we witnessed. 70 whistle blowers have come forward from different parts of the labour party because they share my disgust at the violations of the party due values. Some of them are still employed by the labour party and are fearful of retribution. Some are grappling with the same turmoil my team and i experienced. Inside the party those individuals are met with a chorus of public denials that they know to be untrue. The staff know of continued interference in the process, they know of the blind eye turned to those who are allies of the current leadership. The staff in the region succeed on a day to day basis the behaviour conducted by members of the labour party at local meetings up and down the country. Anti semitism, Holocaust Denial and bullying are iiow commonplace. Holocaust denial and bullying are now commonplace. No amount of tinkering with the rule book will fix this process. The problem has evolved from one process and procedure at the beginning to one of culture. A problem of culture that can only be challenged by leadership. A leadership that is willing to be uncompromising about rooting out five years of a sickness growing inside the party. Such leadership does not exist at the top of the labour party right now. The whistle blowers of the labour party right now. The whistle blowers are of the labour party right now. The whistle blowers are demonstrating the truest of values and it should be commended for their bravery. I am proud to have worked with and alongside them. We are in a position where the gmb Union Representing most Labour Party Staff is writing to the general secretary in the strongest terms to state any intimidation and victimisation of whistle blowers intimidation and victimisation of whistle blowers who could intimidation and victimisation of whistle blowers who could be identified in this document will not be tolerated and the union will stand up for its members. It is regrettable this document is in the public domain. It does however contain important disclosures about how deep the rot inside the labour party goes and all ican ask inside the labour party goes and all i can ask is you read it and come to your own conclusions. I cannot tell your own conclusions. I cannot tell you how sad i am. It may be that News Conference has some time to run. There will be more about that after 2pm and analysis of what is being said, members of the jewish Labour Movement talking to journalists following on from making submissions in relation to the ehrc which is investigating the issue of anti semitism within the labour party, how those allegations that have been handled by the party. That news co nfe re nce have been handled by the party. That News Conference including the solicitor, and others, that will continue. Plenty more election news all coming up from tpm. The first half of the week was marked by chilly weather. Today is a day of transition especially across northern and western parts of the british isles. Cloud and wind and rain. At least that wind is from the south west. Eventually all of us will turn milder. There is rain in the forecast across northern and western park. A different story in the south where it will be dry with some sunshine. My real concern is in the north west. Before it stops raining we could see 80 millimetres of rain quite widely. And some of the gusts up to 60 miles an hour. Coming in from the south west. The central belt of scotland, 12 degrees. A chilly start across the south east, it may stay on the poolside sunshine. 0vernight, the cloud and rain moves towards the south. More rain in the far north of scotland. Those mild temperatures will win out, on friday, a real contrast, up to 12. Rain still in the first half of the day. We are left with a day of sunny spells and blustery showers, some quite heavy and prolonged. Essentially, a mild day across the southern half of britain. Later on, these guys will clear, with High Pressure starting the weekend the skies. Northern ireland, western scotland, here comes the cloud and wind returning with a vengeance across those wet areas. Further south, with a vengeance across those wet areas. Furthersouth, much of england and wales comically decent day, not overly cold. Those frontal systems move across the british isles, lingering in the far south east on sunday. Then, sunday itself, a blustery day, sunny spells and blustery showers. Sunday night is windy introducing a chilly monday. Hello, youre watching afternoon live im ben brown. Today at two. With one week to the general election, the Political Parties launch their final push, reminding voters of their key pledges. We have an amazing choice in the next few days. We either get brexit done and move forward, unite the country, unleash its potential, or we have a year of dither, delay, defeatism. We are very clear, we have a totally funded and costed manifesto the only party that has in this election and it will give real hope and opportunity to everyone in this country, and im very proud of it.
