Winds and what follows is blustery showers across the north and west of the country. The strength of the winds. Getting too cold so overnight lows around 6 iod. Tomorrow it is a windy day, a day of sunny spells and scattered showers in the showers will tend to merge together to give longer spells of rain in Northern Ireland and scotland, particularly through the course of the afternoon with strengthening winds and the air across these areas will be getting colder as well. Further south, relatively mild but no one is immune from a shower and we will see very strong winds developing later in the day. The strongest winds from storm atiyah will be affecting the western coast of ireland with gusts of up to 80 mph and then through sunday night, wales and western england could see gusts in excess of 70 mph.

And now on bbc news, Victoria Derbyshire takes a look at some of the highlights from her programmes this week. Hello and welcome to the programme. Two state funded Orthodox Jewish schools in london have been accused of pressurising parents into withdrawing their children from new Sex Education lessons which have become mandatory in secondary schools in england next year. This programme has seen schools in england next year. This programme has seen e mails and lead recordings of school staff telling pa rents recordings of school staff telling parents how to take their kids out of the lessons. The liberal democrat spokesperson for education says the findings are shocking and calls on the department for education to investigate. We have this exclusive report. This house isnt for people with red hair. From next september, it will be mandatory to teach relationships education in primary schools in england and relationships and Sex Education rse in secondary schools. Its ok to be different. Some schools like this primary are already teaching it. They chant. Since january, there have been high profile protests and leafleting campaigns at school gates, particularly against teaching about lg bt relationships. Most of the protests so far have been from parents, with teachers supporting the lessons. This investigation has uncovered something different. Parents who feel that some Orthodox Jewish schools are pressuring them to remove children from classes. This mother received an e mail from her childrens orthodoxjewish school in Stamford Hill in north london. Its a state funded school. The problem is the government is making this subject mandatory in september 2020. However, parents have the right to opt out. I have attached the policy the school has in dealing with this subject. Hence, i do see you as parents have the right to withdraw your daughters from the subject on religious grounds. The e mail goes on. The subject is not currently taught in school. Please exercise your right to prevent it being taught by responding to this e mail saying that you do not want your daughters to receive lessons in rse. And this bits in bold. How did you feel when you got the e mail . I was quite. Disgusted, for want of a better word. Because i think i thought that my kids school was pretty open, as orthodox schools go. When sex and relationships education lessons become mandatory in 2020, parents will have the right to withdraw their children from the Sex Education element. That decision is meant to be up to parents, though, and not be influenced by pressure from a school. I think that e mail was designed to put a stop to rse being taught in the school. It was a really strong worded e mail saying, please, sign it so we dont have to teach it. Why is it, do you think that the school doesnt want to teach rse . I think the fact that people with different sexualities existing in the world is something that they dont want to expose their children to. I dont think they want to expose them to the concept of. Of sex. The school that sent that email is called lu bavitch senior girls school. It told us that if the parent concerned lodges her complaint according to the complaints policy, that it will be fully investigated and responded to appropriately. The mum, though, says she feels too scared to complain. Ive also been sent this recording. Now, this mum was called by staff at her childrensjewish school in north london. She was so shocked by what was said that she called the school back, recorded that conversation and shared it with us. Weve disguised the voice of the mother and an actor has voiced over the staff member to protect identities. Hello. You just called me before. Yes. Yeah, sorry, i put down the phone and i had so many questions i thought id call you back. Ok, go on. Firstly, what exactly should i be writing in the letter . What is it about exactly . Right, basically, we need parents to formally say, i do not want you to teach my child about single gender relationships or Sex Education within the school, unless you do, as a parent, want that. Do you want. . I mean, i assume as a parent you dont want us to teach your children this. No, i wouldnt. But youre asking all the mothers to do this . Yep. Every parent in the school. 0k. And i should write it to mrs. . To mrs neuberger, yes. Ok, ijust wanted to. 0k . Yep. Thank you so much. The school that made the calls is called Yesodey Hatorah. Its also state funded and in Stamford Hill in north london. It does not deny making those calls. The mother in the recording was too nervous to be on camera, so her words are read by an actor. After i received that call, i decided to write the letter to the school, saying i didnt want the teaching, even though i thought it was imperative for my children to be given Sex Education. I felt i had to write it because i didnt want the school to think i dont agree with them on this. Id be too scared to express my real views with anyone in the orthodoxjewish community as i know id be thought of as not jewish or completely weird, and i know id be alienated or ostracized. The truth is, our children need Sex Education more than any other child in the country because our community is so insular. There is no other way in which a child in this community could learn about healthy sex and relationships, as the internet and all forms of National Media is banned. In a statement, a spokesperson for Yesodey Hatorah school responded by saying. The vast majority of our families expect Sex Education to be given privately, within the family, at home. They do not expect their children to be given Sex Education in a school classroom. It is therefore very important that we let parents know that their child will be given Sex Education at school unless they opt out. The school conducted both an oral and a written consultation about Sex Education in spring 2018. Following this, parents made their choice. Every parent in our school opted out. The school will provide Sex Education for any child who has not opted out. Accusations of coercion against our school are entirely false. Not one parent has complained to the school about the issue. The school acts in keeping with the law and with parental choice. What do you want to do when you grow up . Yehudis fletcher is the founder of nahamu, a think tank addressing extremism in thejewish community,. She lives in manchester with her three children, who attend jewish orthodox schools. She says these e mails and calls put huge pressure on parents to do as the school wants rather than what they think is right for their children. Its very frightening. Nobody wants to be that one person because if theres, you know, 99 of the parents are going to send back that letter saying we want to withdraw our children for sre, that one or sort of of parents who are, you know, maybe brave going to be targets. Yehudis says without Sex Education, many young Orthodox Jews dont find out what sex is until theyre expected to have it on their wedding night. And thats what happened to jamie, whose name weve changed because shes worried about a backlash for speaking out. Shes an artist whos now left the Orthodox Jewish community, but grew up in a strict religious family in Stamford Hill. She went to Yesodey Hatorah school, the one recorded in that phone message. What was your education like . I took gcses. And our school became state aided, so i had to, but our gcses were censored. So science, we didnt learn about evolution. We didnt learn about reproduction. We didnt learn anything regarding sex ed at all. Nothing . Nothing. Not even the word period nothing. Yeah, i just remember reading our science textbook and then theres all these blacked out words in it. Redacted stuff. And i remember trying to read it like put it up to the light and trying to read it, but i couldnt. She says the first time she was told about sex was just weeks before her wedding, at 19, by a woman sent to give her bridal lessons. So she said that we would go to our flat and i would have to ask him to unzip my dress and then id, you know, get undressed. He would leave the room, id get undressed, be completely naked under the covers, and then i would turn off the light. He would come in and then he would say a blessing and then do the deed. And he would. I asked her, what do you mean, do the deed . So she said, hes gonna lie on top of you. And ijust, ifreaked out, i couldnt take it. It was too traumatising. Jamie was even more petrified because shed been sneaking crime novels out of the library for some time. What shed read about sex in them was rape. She fled before the marriage and eventually left the community completely. We need parents to formally say, i do not want you to teach my child about single gender relationships or Sex Education within the school. We showed our investigation to layla moran, the liberal democrat spokesperson for education. I do think now, off the back of this investigation, the department for Education Needs to have its own investigation into these schools. Because if they are in effect coercing parents to stop them from wanting to have sex and relationships education in that school, i mean, that e mail that we saw was unequivocal. That phone call, i dont think, could have been much clearer. They clearly dont want to teach these subjects. That is counter to the guidelines, but it is also counter to the spirit of the equality act, which is the very same act that protects religious freedoms. I do think now its time for the department for education to act. Next, its back by popular demand. Oh, yes it is. Our election blind date series, where we send two people with opposing political views on a blind date. It is genuinely blind, neither knows who they are about to meet. So, will these two hit it off or will things fall apart when they start to talk about brexit . Oh, thats better. So i can now see myself. My name is alastair campbell. I think people will know me as having worked for tony blair. Im kenneth clarke, a Health Secretary, home secretary and chancellor of the exchequer, lord chancellor and justice secretary. Right. Corbyn orjohnson . Such a joyless election. Its different. So, yeah, ive always been labour. Im left of centre. Bit of a spectrum, left of centre. Record skips. Ive always described myself as right of centre. Im a discontented conservative. Im about to have a meal, lunch. In the main, i refuse to have lunch. Oh, my god ah i was taking your name in vain in a conversation earlier on. Were you . Good to see you. What were you saying . Forgive me for not leaping to my feet im rather lame nowadays. What were you saying . I thought, who had moved away from parliamentary politics towards Public Relations politics started. 0h . When tony brought you. So youre blaming me . You got rid of all the Civil Service press officers. Oh, rubbish . And it all became more media based. I dont think thats true. Im sure you would defend your media based. What are you going to vote . Well, ive voted every election in my life. So far, ive voted conservative, but im a discontented conservative. I know a lot of people in the major government not quite sure who theyre going to vote for. There is a spectrum, ok . Corbyn is there and farage is there, and johnsons just inside farage. So where are you . Im centre right, about there. Right, ok. So. And where are the lib dems . The lib dems . Well, theyre a protest, they re a vehicle for protest votes. So are you going to protest against that lot . Well, thats what a protest vote is. Right. I am a conservative. Your party has become the brexit party. Well, we always had a right wing fringe. Now theyve taken over. Yeah. And, well, ive got to make my mind up. You havent decided yet . No. Im having a ham, egg and chips, i think. Oh, are you . Cheese omelette. Chips . No, no chips. Im an athlete. Im going to tell you something that ive told very, very few people. Did you know there is a medical condition. . You were the Health Secretary once you should know this. Theres a medical condition called saltomophobia. Ah. Bowled middle stump. I dont know many people with that. Its an irrational fear of ketchup. Its true. So is there a miracle cure . There isnt. The only cure is you have to. Would you mind. . Do you mind . Do you want ketchup . No, thank you. No, no. Good man because i have an irrationalfear of ketchup i dont like the taste of it. How are you voting . Ive basically decided im going to back the people who have been early supporters of a peoples vote. And in terms of my own vote, im going to vote for keir starmer. So you are campaigning for the labour party . Iam. Er. No. Yes. And. You know what, the trouble is. And im going to go and help Dominic Grieve, if i can. And david gauke, i think. Ive endorsed people like david gauke and Dominic Grieve and anna soubry. You and i, for the first time in our lives although we get on perfectly well personally. But youre definitely a labour man and im definitely a conservative. Both of us, in our ways, actively supporting the same candidates in particular seats. Parties are polarised. Labours gone left, tories have gone right. In both cases, the left and the right have not purged the Parliamentary Party as they wanted to. I was booted out for voting lib dem, yeah. Didnt you know that . I had no idea. Ages ago. I knew when i lost the whip ijoined distinguished company. Cos i thought that was. I didnt know youd been kicked out. I got an expulsion email 2a hours after saying on television id voted lib dem in the europeans. Well, well, the trouble is, you see, were busily reinforcing each others moderate views, we think. Have a chip. Yeah, there we are. I dont thinkjeremy can win a majority. Jeremy could never become Prime Minister in a thousand years. He was close last time, though, wasnt he . Close ish. Hes a bogey man. Hes been successfully portrayed as a bogey man. Boris best argument for voting for him is to say, youve got to vote for me because otherwise youll getjeremy corbyn. I know. I think what boris does, he does blurt it out. I mean, he uses these boris phrases, these rather schoolboy phrases and he larks about. I remember you said, when is he going to realise hes actually, for the first time in his life, got a seriousjob . Can he start taking it seriously . Stopped treating it all as a game, yeah. Yeah, well, and thats. He still hasnt taken it seriously he still does treat it as a game, i think. Jeremy is genuinely left wing. I likejeremys naive sincerity, he believes it all. Boris isnt really a right wing brexiteer. He became a brexiteer by accident. Hes an opportunist. Its notjohn major against tony blair, is it . Brexit is doing so much damage to the country, so much damage to our politics. I genuinely worry that ifjohnson gets a big majority, we are doing ourselves enormous damage. And i think the only way to keep the idea of a second referendum even remotely alive is for nobody to get a decent sized majority. I know youve not been in favour of a second referendum. Yeah, i get quite rude about referendums. I know you do and i understand that. If it was the only way of stopping leaving with no deal, i would. Yeah. Its a hugely complex, technical subject. I think to subject that to a yes no opinion poll doesnt tell you. I agree. I dont know a labour mp i think of who i think is genuinely anti semitic. Anti semitism, we know what it is and it is very nasty, and there is anti semitism in the country, unfortunately, still. They are so fanatically against the government of israel and they spill over. Yeah. It encourages more anti semitism in those sections of the public who might previously have been a bit embarrassed and not lose. I think corbyns problem with anti semitism is hes more. Its almost like a capacity and competence question, that he didnt see that this was developing as the kind of issue that it has now become because hes got these fellow travellers that. Similarly islamophobia. Yeah. There isnt a conservative mp whos islamophobic. Its interesting you say you dont think there is a single tory mp whos islamophobic. I couldnt point you to anybody, but i kind of fear there might be. There is a certain tendency to going for dog whistle racism in the brexit campaigning. Johnson is a journalist thats what he did. Yeah, i thinkjohnsons not too bad on race and immigration, really. One or two of his allies, the reason they went on about turks, which was a plain lie. And effective. In the referendum. Quite effective. Because they didnt think people were worried enough about white immigrants. Yeah. So if you started conjuring up millions of turks wink, wink, they are brown and muslim, you know . Weve got a lot of those already. Boris stuck to all this stuff about millions a week for the nhs. He didnt campaign on the turks that was gove. So whenjohnson was taken to task, you know, the stuff about burqas and letterboxes and all that sort of stuff, if you are a senior level politician, you can argue that youre not an islamophobe, but you know that your words are being welcomed by people who are. And you also know thats going to have an effect on people who are sitting on the top of a bus wearing a burqa. I think hes either conscious of the power of his words and doesnt care about the impact, or hes actually not conscious of the power of his words. I regularly quote it to people what you think your biggest mistake was. Speed humps. The only one i ever admit to. Road humps every time im going over a road hump with a taxi driver and my back goes, and i will say, that is ken clarkes bloody fault. Quite right. The biggest mistake a politician could make is to own up and admit to a mistake because you will never forget it for the rest of your career. So thats not the real mistake . I will carry my mistakes to the grave. I do think the really important big mistake in the blair government was the invasion of iraq, which even i never thought its consequences were so tragic and long lasting. So certainly the government with which you are most associated, im sure, with hindsight, you agree that was a terrible mistake . Im sure, with hindsight, i agree with your assessment that you should never necessarily. I might pick you up at health of having been a bit slow on the uptake about the tobacco lobby. Well, im a lifelong smoker. And the Public Health agenda more generally, maybe. I used to have an amusing relationship with the Public Health lobby. Are you still smoking . Cigars nowadays. Are you still . I gave up cigarettes. But youre quite right, you know. Im getting old, so i always tell the same stories. But when i returned as secretary of state for health and went into the room, the first question i asked was, whats happened to the ashtrays . What are you going to do with the rest of your life . You sound like my children asking those questions i think in terms of your career as a whole, i bet there isnt a single conservative alive that has more people viewing you as the tory Prime Minister they could have tolerated. Oh, thats a great club to belong to. The best Prime Minister. The best Prime Minister we never had. You know, nobody will ever know how bad you would have been if theyd ever given you the chance. I cant be accused of not trying. What are we now supposed to be doing . Were two old men that are going to stand up and walk out still talking. Right. Lovely to see you. See you again. All the best are they hush puppies . Never hush puppies i dont think hush puppies make any suede shoes. Thats it for this week, you can contact us at any time. You can contact us at any time.

Many of us in england and wales have had dry weather. But some spells of sunshine. Like in shropshire earlier in the day. In scotland, quite a different look to the weather, with outbreaks of rain working on for many through the afternoon. Another low cloud as well. Our attention at the moment is focusing on what is going on in the north atlantic. This swirl of cloud is notjust one area of low pressure, it is in fact two, one here and one here, and these two areas of low pressure combine to make storm atiyah, and it is this squeeze on the isobars on the southern portion of the low that brings the strong winds to the Southern Coast of ireland and during sunday night time across wales and Western Areas of england, too. Before we get there, overnight tonight it will be quite a windy night as a band of heavy rain pushes east across all areas. As the rain clears, it will be followed by blustery showers, but it is the strength of the winds that stops it getting too cold. Temperatures overnight for most between 6 and 10 celsius. For sundays forecast, rain clearing away from the south east quickly, then it is a day that is going to be much windier than it was today, a day of sunshine and blustery showers, but those showers will tend to merge together to give longer spells of rain in Northern Ireland and scotland, as colder air tends to work in here. It will be a windy day nationwide, but the strongest winds are to the south of our centre of low pressure. Forecast to reach 80mph around the coastline of west ireland and then this squeeze in the isobars works into wales and western england where we could get gusts of 70mph or perhaps Even Stronger than that. Winds that strong are perfectly capable of bringing down tree branches so there is a risk of some disruption from these strong winds from sunday into monday for some of us. Heading into mondays weather charts, that storm system works off into europe and what we have in its place is these northerly winds coming straight down from polar regions. It is going to be a cold day. Monday sees plenty of sunshine but thats it, there will be frequent showers across northern scotland and frequent showers coming down the north sea to affect the eastern coast of england as well. Inland, yes, there might be some sunshine, but factor in those strong and cold winds and it will feel quite bitter on monday. This is bbc news. The headlines. The online forum reddit says it believes leaked government documents, detailing uk us trade talks, and posted on its site are linked to russia. The really big question is how did the leaks get there in the first place . How did they end up online, being amplified by what reddit certainly says is part of a known foreign influence operation . Oceans are running out of oxygen warn scientists as global temperature rises put many species of fish at risk of extinction. Fears that a mega bushfire near sydney thats burning out of control could take weeks to put out. In a rare move a chinese american researcher convicted of spying in iran has been freed in an apparent Prisoner Exchange with the us the billionaire businessman elon musk is cleared of defaming a british cave explorer after calling him pedo
