Meet logical autumn. We have started to have problems with the pictures behind me, we will sort those out. This is one picture from one of our weather watchers showing plenty of sunshine. Yes, its a chilly start but there has been some sunshine around there to compensate and here isa around there to compensate and here is a view from pembrokeshire, as well. Glorious blue sky. We are seeing cloud building here and there. More especially across parts of scotland, and Northern Ireland so far today. North west england and wales there have been a few showers. Some of these will fade. Theyll remain isolated here. But we are watching south east scotland and across the pennines, north east england and down through the midlands for maybe a few heavier ones to get going this afternoon. But the most of us across southern england, wales into the midlands will continue with good sunny spells. It feels pleasantly warm in some sunshine with light winds. Eastern parts of england, could be the odd heavy and maybe thundery shower. North west england, after a dull start it may stay cloudy in Northern Ireland, mainly dry across scotland. A chance of a shower in the south east. I have talked about showers, but please most places are going to be dry with sunny spells around. If you get a shower in Eastern England it could linger into the night for some but elsewhere it will be dry and clear and chilly again overnight. These are Town City Centre temperatures. You dont have to go too far away to get something lower than this. Single figures in places and some places flirting with freezing into saturday morning. This ta kes freezing into saturday morning. This takes us on to the weekend. For saturday, although it will be chilly again to begin the day, good sunny spells coming through. A bit of cloud building here and there. Odd light showers especially into Eastern England but the vast majority will have a fine dry start to the weekend, although you will later notice the breeze picking up in Northern Ireland and temperatures fairly similar. No excessive heat but in the sunshine it will feel pleasant. The later you are going out on saturday night in Northern Ireland, you might see rain coming m, ireland, you might see rain coming in, things are changing from the west. Weather fronts are moving in, things are changing from the west. Weatherfronts are moving in, but its a slow process, the wind picking up. So a wet start to sunday, Northern Ireland, the rain pushing into wales, south west england. Gales through the irish sea. Rain moving into western scotla nd sea. Rain moving into western scotland too. Some eastern scotland, Eastern England, although it clouds over and the breeze picks up, will stay dry during the day. Its a weekend of two halves. An east west split on sunday. There is a forecast for where you are or where you will be this weekend online. Good afternoon. A look at the sport. Scotland manager Gordon Strachan says he isnt yet worrying about missing out on next years world cup in russia. All the home nations are involved in qualifiers this weekend and its scotland who are feeling the most pressure. They badly need to win in lithuania, to keep their hopes alive in group f. They play tonight four points off the play off spot, and have only won once there before. Strachan believes ten points out of 12 will be enough to finish in the top two places. There is a psychology to it. There is training, information and you pass on, so is training, information and you pass on, so it is not going to be a churchillian speech that makes them feel any better. I dont think, that can work now and then but generally make sure players are comfortable and feel prepared, the amount of time they put into it and training they put into it. In the same group, england last night arrived at their camp in malta ahead of their group f game tonight. Southgate says he has chosen who will captain england, but the players will not be informed until later today. And Northern Ireland need to avoid any mishaps tonight against san marino to remain on course for a world cup play off spot. Theyre currently second in group c behind germany. It has been a short week for us, playing on the friday as opposed to saturday, so the main thing is we do the job tomorrow night and hopefully come through unscathed with injuries and suspensions, and with one or two players on cards we have to be careful. Then we look at the game on monday, but our focus is just on san marino. Wales will play austria tomorrow. They currently sit in third place in group d. With premier league clubs spending eli; billion over the summer, the final transfer day was as much about the players who didnt move as those who did. One player who didnt make it was alexis sanchez. His club arsenal had agreed a £60 million deal with Manchester City contingent on finding a replacement. But arsenal were turned down by monacos thomas lemar after a £92 million bid, and so refused to let sanchez go. Arsenal obviously really want to qualify for the Champions League and clearly what came about last night was they were willing to let the player go who they felt was integral to them getting to the Champions League unless they had a player who could come in and fulfil that role just as well for them, so the money involved and garfunkel Champions League versus the £60 million tra nsfer league versus the £60 million transfer fee, those two things met out pretty evenly. Midfielder Danny Drinkwater did manage a move late last night hes gone from leicester to chelsea for £35 million. That was after Evertons Ross Barkley changed his mind aboutjoining Antonio Contes side. But the summer transfer window might not be quite over yet. Liverpools brazilian star phillipe coutinho has long been wanted by barcelona but the merseysiders rejected a £114 million bid. The spanish transfer window doesnt close until tonight so it could still happen. Lewis hamilton headed a mercedes one two in first practice at the italian grand prix. He was four tenths of a second quicker than team mate Valtteri Bottas and over a second faster than his title rival sebastian vettel. Vettel leads the drivers championship by seven points with eight races remaining. The world number one and two time champion rafael nadal is through to the third round of the us open overnight he came through against japans taro daniel, in four sets. Joining him there will be Roger Federer who was pushed all the way for the second time in three days this time by russias mikhail youzhny. Hell face spains Feliciano Lopez next. Thats all sport for now. You can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. Thats bbc. Co. Uk sport. And ill have more in the next hour. Thank you. Good afternoon. Youre watching bbc news. Lets take a look at the scene in washington because we are expecting a speech any moment now from david davis, he is over in washington, the brexit secretary, the secretary of state are exiting the secretary of state are exiting the eu, he is going to be addressing the eu, he is going to be addressing the us chamber of commerce there in washington, dc and this could be very interesting particularly in light of everything we have been hearing in the last 2a hours from liam fox the International Trade secretary who has been using fairly strong language, using the word blackmail saying the eu mustnt force britain into agreeing a divorce bill before robert talks can begin about trade. We wait to see whether david davis echoes that, whether david davis echoes that, whether he acknowledges those comments or whether he sticks to what he was planning to say anyway. We will be back there as soon as that begins because that has potential to be quite interesting. It was due to begin about ten minutes go. Obviously a slight delay. As soon as it gets under way will we will be back there. Until thats each begins lets turn our attention to another main story. The private sector Security Company gas has suspended nine members of staff from an Immigration Removal Centre near Gatwick Airport following an investigation by bbcs panorama. The programme says it has covert footage recorded at brook house showing officers mocking, abusing and assaulting people being held there. Well, lets get a taste of the programme being shown on monday. On the front line of britains fight to control immigration, a secretive world of drugs, violence and abuse. Where some foreign nationals are locked up for as long as two years. Panorama undercover britains immigration secrets. Monday at nine on bbc one. Earlier my colleague Annita Mcveigh spoke tojerry petherick, managing director for g4ss custodial and detention services, about the allegations contained in the panorama programme. I havent seen the footage yet. I am only responding to the written allegations. If it is as described i am completely disgusted by the behaviour that has been described. It is unacceptable to me, the company, unacceptable to the vast majority of my staff who work in a highly professional way, sometimes dealing with some very dangerous and very serious situations across the estate. We have asked for the footage and we have been told no. Obviously i would like to see it as soon as possible because we have suspended the nine staff which we did immediately when we heard about the allegations. We also referred matters immediately to the police and social services. I have got investigators there and i would like to proceed with that investigation as swiftly as possible. You can see the full panorama documentary on monday evening on bbc one at 9pm. The story of. We wont move on to our next item because we will return to events in washington, dc. The introductionjust beginning there at the us chamber of commerce. This is the introductory address in the run up to hearing from david davis the secretary of state for exiting the eu. He will be talking about britains departure from the eu, but the address, the speech he will be making, has taken on perhaps added significance after liam fox used the word blackmail and said that britain must not be forced into agreeing a divorce bill, so lets see whether david davis is asked about that, whether he addresses those comments in anyway. We have been led to believe that his tone here in washington will be somewhat upbeat, but lets see, one imagines there will be the deeper questions in terms of britains departure from the eu and how, just how any future trade deal is going to be agreed. One assumes we will hear more about the relationship between the uk and the relationship between the uk and the us as well, particularly once britain has left the eu. Lets listen in to the introduction. We should be hearing from david davis very shortly. Secretary davis, we know you and your team will carry enormous responsibility on behalf of the british people and i know you will be talking today about the road ahead and how you look forward to a more nimble and more flexible and more nimble and more flexible and more innovative British Society going forward. And of course here in the room you have partners in that endeavour. But we clearly have a huge stake in the transatlantic relationship. Notjust in terms of commercial terms where the United States and europe account for nearly 40 of global gdp when we trade about 2. 5 billion a day and have an overall 5. 5 trillion trade and investment relationship. But the relationship is a lot deeper than numbers and if you think about the history of europe in the United States, fighting world wars together shoulder to shoulder, strengthening International Institutions and spreading the values of democracy and the rule of law around the world, you will understand at the heart of this special relationship is the one between the United States and the uk. I could say a lot of statistics and talk about the uk being the single largest investors in the United States, i could mention of course that the uk is the United States seventh largest trading partner and fourth largest export destination, that trade and investment between our two countries comes from millions ofjobs and that today over 42,000 american firms exported to the uk and more than 7500 represent an party of today have operations in the uk. I think that just underscores a have operations in the uk. I think thatjust underscores a partial significance to this relationship. But as you embark on this journey, unprecedented journey, it is important the United StatesBusiness Community and our government work closely and hand in hand with you to support your endeavours, goals and aspirations, as we clearly have a sta ke aspirations, as we clearly have a stake in the outcome of these discussions. Which is why the chamber founded the us discussions. Which is why the chamberfounded the us uk business council, one of the 50 existing councils we now run, to work not only to strengthen the relationship between the uk and the us, but also to look at the work of the brexit areas. We have three simple objectives and first they should begin by saying that i will have more to say on this topic later at the different time but we are very pleased that rob rooney one of the leaders of Morgan Stanley has chosen to be chair of this uk council. The objectives are clear. We want the uk and eu to agree on good terms of exit and build a Strong Foundation for ongoing cooperation and of course we want to encourage you to have predictable transition periods that avoid a cliff edge and ensures a strong future partnership going forward. Secondly we want to clarify clarity on the way forward when you can in terms of minimising business disruption and encourage both sides to understand the real consequences of failure to secure a sound deal. Finally i want to leave it ground work for strengthening further us uk ties through their future trade agreement when the time is right and when you tell us, uk, that you are ready for that kind of commitment. American companies have a huge commitment to your country and we know that these will not be easy negotiations between the uk and the eu. We know there are critics out there who are talking about divisions and unrealistic approaches. We also know that there is another response to that. Which is another response to that. Which is to get to work and to ensure that you and the uk are able to move forward in your discussions with europe, we want you to know that we are eager to be hearing from you about how we can be helpful. In our work here in the United States and in europe. We are eager to hear more about how the uk will deal with the flow of workers and that across borders. We are here to hear more about regulatory cooperation and intellectual Property Rights protection and were of course about Market Access for goods and Financial Services and more about customs and trade facilitation, issues i know very much on your agenda. In due course we will release a paper outlining our views on these Critical Issues which we will share with you, secretary davis, and your team. Though the negotiations are going to be tough and they will have their ups and downs really, we see some similarities into what the United States now faces in the nafta context. A key message to the cupboard restoration has been in some ways cupboard restoration has been in some ways trump administration. In some ways contextually important and also relevant to your discussions. First we have encouraged our administration s and mexico and canada to do no harm, to benefits to the relationship, to move quickly and to ensure a sea mless move quickly and to ensure a seamless transition. The stakes are high but our commitment to you and your government is that we are very supportive of the special relationship that our two countries have. Let me turn briefly to the introduction of secretary davis and we all look forward to his comments. He was appointed secretary of state for exiting the European Union in july 2016. He has been an mp since 1987 representing a district north east england. He has held an array of government positions including science minister, shadow deputy Prime Minister and shadow home secretary. Before being an elected to parliament he worked in the agro Food Industry and therefore if you look at the totality of his background, there is hardly a better fit but this person with this step of responsibilities in ensuring the uk interests are closely guarded and represented in these exits negotiations. During his time in the reserves we understand secretary davis ensured there were a few organisers along the way, or had a few broken noses along the way. We know how these things go but we know you are also able to throw punches back. Welcome to the us chamber of commerce and welcome to the Business Community very supportive of the us uk relationship. Thank you. Applause biron, thank you for those generous and supportive comments, particularly the ones on the end, very generous to me, particularly the ones on the end, very generous to me, so generous particularly the ones on the end, very generous to me, so generous i think i very generous to me, so generous i think i wish
