spells, especially in northern ireland. quite warm, with cloud, producing patchy rain or perhaps drizzle on the western fringes of wales, cornwall and devon with brighter skies. cloudy and damp across southern england, the midlands into northern england, but the northern fringes state drive with sunny spells. northern ireland is still with low cloud in a few spots, but many of us now have sunshine. bright and off in the far west of scotland, but fog around the coast, thick in places. elsewhere in scotland, cloudy with outbreaks of rain. around 15 celsius if you have the cloud and rain, but maybe 21 in warm spots with sunshine. overnight, plenty of cloud around. hill fog, you may see patchy low—level fog around. the threat here may decrease and temperatures of around 10—111. let's see how tomorrow is shaping up. notan let's see how tomorrow is shaping up. not an inviting start for the day, but bear with it. gradually, the cloud. to break and we will see bright sunny spells coming through. there is a chance of a shower in eastern scotland and the eastern side of england, but many places will avoid those and stay dry. given a bit of sunshine coming through the cloud the afternoon, temperatures will feel warm, especially if today had the cloud and rain. ahead to wednesday, risk of fog, but breeze picking up. many places stay dry. the atlantic weather system will bring rain to northern ireland, wales and south—west england. wednesday night, that moves east across the uk, on thursday, clearing scotla nd across the uk, on thursday, clearing scotland and england, and behind it the sun comes out. but there is another weather system coming in on friday. active and unsettled at the end of the week coming into the weekend. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime. a right wing nationalist party winds seat in the german parliament for the first time since the second world war. the alternative to germany says it will use its success to fight an invasion of foreigners to the country. that's all from the bbc news at one. good afternoon, it is 1:33pm, time for a look at the sports news, live from the bbc sports centre. let's start with football and gordon strachan has named his scotland squad for their world cup qualifying matches next week. no major shocks. leeds captain liam cooper has been recalled and leigh griffiths is one of six celtic players in the squad to face slovakia and slovenia. at back—to—back wins against lithuania and malta earlier in the month, scotla nd and malta earlier in the month, scotland go into the final two matches knowing that victory in both games would all but guaranteed a play—off spot. gareth mcauley is back in the northern ireland squad for their qualifiers against germany and norway. the west brom defender has not featured in the squad since he limped off against azerbaijan in june. there are also first time call ups for millwall midfielder george saville and kilmarnock midfielder jordanjones. sports minister tracy crouch has described fever‘s expected u—turn on poppies as common sense. last year, you will remember that england, scotland, wales and northern ireland we re scotland, wales and northern ireland were all fined by fever for the use of the poppy to commemorate armistice day, deeming it to be a political simple. —— symbol. armistice day, deeming it to be a politicalsimple. —— symbol. prince william and theresa may were amongst those to criticise the fifa ban but they are expected to change their laws in time for november's international break. as always on monday, one premier league game to look forward to between arsenal and west brom but this match will be very significant for one player in particular. west brom midfielder, gareth barry, if selected, could break the all—time premier league appearance record. aged 36, it will be barry's 633rd top—flight match, breaking the previous record set by the legend ryan giggs. really proud to have reached that number. you know, i have said before, they go so quickly, 20 years ago, i remember my debut really well and in between that, so much has happened and i have ended up getting to this number which is for myself and my family, so proud to reach that great achievement. not so much 110w that great achievement. not so much now because you're still doing your job but when you hang up your boots, you look back and realise to reach that number was fantastic. some achievement for gareth barry and one that former arsenal and england defender martin keown thinks is unlikely to be surpassed again. england defender martin keown thinks is unlikely to be surpassed againlj think is unlikely to be surpassed again.” think it would be more likely impossible, because you think of the players, the transfer fees, impossible, because you think of the players, the transferfees, the opportunities players get from club to club and the competition for places, holding down plays that number of games, it takes some doing. billy vunipola says he is warned then, having picked up another injury which will keep him out of the game until the new year. he missed the lions tour this summer and will be out of the autumn internationals. he told the bbc in an interview before his latest injury that the constant problems are getting him down and he would ta ke are getting him down and he would take a pay cut to avoid burn—out. are getting him down and he would take a pay cut to avoid burn-out. 32 games is a lot. it is doable but do you want people to just do it ought you want people to just do it ought you want people to just do it ought you want people to go out there and smash it? i didn't enjoy being on the surgery table twice in one year for the first time in my career and thatis for the first time in my career and that is supposed to be deemed as normal? if someone said we will take five games of the season but you have to take a pay cut, would players go along with it? if someone said that, then i would say yes. speaking to our rugby reporter chris johns. graham onions will leave durham at the end of the season. the former england seamer has failed to agree a new contract after 13 years with the club. the two parties couldn't agree terms on a two—year extension, with the second—year conditional on the seamer avoiding injury in year one. that is all the sports are now. you can find more on those stories as always on the bbc sport website, including build—up to the premier league match, arsenal against west brom. i will have more for you in the next hour. the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, has promised that a future labour government would bring existing private finance initiative contracts "back in—house". pfi deals are those in which the private sector funds public projects — and then charges interest payments over a number of years. addressing the conference in brighton, mr mcdonnell said pfi contracts were likely to cost the public sector more than £200 billion over the next few decades and it was time to reduce the cost to the taxpayer. our chief political correspondent vicki young is in brighton at the labour party conference for us. so that is what the labour government would do but what we don't have is the detail or the cost of all this. no, that's right. the speech from john mcdonnell had a lot of policies in it, and much bigger role for the state generally, but the biggest cheer really was for that announcement, saying that he would bring back in—house these pfi contracts. there is, of course, i be? about how much that might cost. afterwards, one of labour's treasury spokesman talked about it being pretty self financing, so let's discover if that is the case. paul johnson is from the institute for fiscal studies. broadly, pfi contracts, labour say they cost an awful lot of money and some of them have been a very bad deal, so they could actually get out of them and save money in the long run. these are contracts that were negotiated between the government and private companies, mostly under the last labour government to do build and run, schools and hospitals and so on, and some of them were badly formed contracts which have ended up being rather expensive, but you are not going to save money by getting out of them because presumably you are going to have to pay the companies with which you have the legal agreement in order to get out of them. i hope they mean they will pay the value of these things and respect the law. if they do, they may well be right, it won't cost very much but it won't save much either. do you suspect they may not offer these companies any kind of compensation for these contracts?” don't know. it wasn't clear from what was said. as i said, the law is very clear, they are legally binding contracts and in order to get out of them, you have to come to agreement on fair price with the company involved. looking at the broader speech, there were announcements, some we are familiar with, renationalisation of the railways, for example. have we had a sense of how labour would paper that? is it through borrowing? there was only one sentence in the entire speech about how this might be paid for and this is a very, very big thing. remember in the election, they were talking of 60 or £70 billion a year extra. that is an enormous change to the scale and scope of the state and the scale and scope of the state and the only thing in the speech today was to say it would be funded through closing tax loopholes for the mega— wealthy and getting the big corporations to pay their way. that is money from the sky, that is money that isn't really in any way going to paper the scale of ambition here. if you look at other european countries which have states which are much bigger than ours and have nationalised industries, which spend a lot more on things like pensions and education and so on, they raised tax from the bulk of the population. they have higher rates of social insurance contributions, they have vat on more things. that is a perfectly reasonable way to go and you can't pretend you can paper all of this by some magic money from the rich and big corporations, because you can't. labour has talked of cutting corporation tax and putting up cutting corporation tax and putting up income tax for those earning 80000 and above. does that raise very much? putting corporation tax back up to 26%, which is what labour said in their manifesto, potentially raises in the short run getting on for £20 billion a year, potentially, but it depends on how companies respond and in the long run, it will probably raise less than that. raising income tax for people earning over £80,000 a year potentially raises a reasonable amount of money but probably mostly from people earning 100, 100 and £50,000 a year. getting the money from the super—rich is much more difficult. so when they talk about borrowing more, their argument would presumably be borrowing rates for governments are incredibly low, why not take that approach? well, there isa not take that approach? well, there is a case the borrowing more at the moment. the deficit is down to pretty modest levels, although that is relatively high, and it is very cheap to borrow so increasing borrowing by ten or 20 billion a year would be within the perfect balance of economic, normal economics. i think what we're talking about is a much bigger increase in borrowing and what you need to be able to keep those borrowing rates down is to be really very credible to those who are lending you the money, at has to be clear that you are paying it back and in the long run you have to be clear about what you are going to be doing with taxes and so on to pay it back. pauljohnson, thank you very much indeed. and of course, questions still for labour on all of this but there is no doubt that in the hall, the policiesjohn mcdonnell came up with the day were greeted incredibly enthusiastically. thank you. german chancellor angela merkel has begun negotiations to form a coalition government, following her re—election for a fourth term. her party suffered the worst result for 70 years, as millions of voters defected from traditional parties to support the far—right. she's been speaking this morning and acknowledged her party's loss of voters to the afd. translation: 1 million former voters have gone and shifted to the afd. of course, it is difficult to say because we had a higher turnout, but we want to get those voters back in our camp by good politics. earlier, the bbc‘s ross atkins, caught up with david mcallister, a member of angela merkel‘s christian democratic union, and asked him what had gone wrong. well, yesterday's result wasn't exactly what we were expecting, what we were hoping for. the polls were predicting 36, 37%, so there is no reason to celebrate but there is also no reason for us to sing the blues because we achieved our main election goal, to become the strongest political party, which we are, way ahead of the socialists and angela merkel has a mandate to form a new government. it won't be easy, it will be a challenging time for us but i'm quite confident that angela merkel will become chancellor once again in a new coalition. isn't this election result evidence that you were trying to base your campaign on let's just carry on as we are, we have angela merkel, everything will be stable? there wasn't an ambitious policy agenda and the voters saw through that. once again, i would like to have seen a better result but angela merkel won this election for a fourth time in a row after 12 very challenging years in office. if you compare this with other countries in the western world, this is rather unique. so once again, what we now need is a stable government in germany. and if you are in politics, you have to demonstrate your responsibility for your country and what we are seeing is too many politicians in germany happy to be in opposition. you always need in a democracy not only an opposition, but also parties that are willing to form a government and angela merkel once again showed her leadership this evening showed her leadership yesterday evening and this morning. so will it be a fourth term and a last term? she will announce whether she would run for a fifth term. would you like to see her? first of all, i would like to see her chancellor for a fourth term because she is the best politician we have in germany. but she will acknowledge there have to be succession plans in the cdu. you were once talked about as someone who might take over, are those discussions starting to happen? wejust had a cdu presidency and federal board meeting and the party is united behind the chancellor and we know that without her, this election campaign would have been even more difficult. she is our leader and we all want her to be a chancellor for the fourth term because she's good for germany. ina in a moment, a summary of the business news this hour, but first, the headlines. the shadow brexit secretary says labour are now the grown—ups in the room when it comes to negotiating britain's future relationship with the european union. labour also says it would review contracts signed under the private finance initiative and bring them back into the public sector. germany's right—wing nationalist afd party vows to fight an invasion of foreigners into the country after winning its first parliamentary seats. hello, here is the business news. labour says it will introduce laws to limit the amount of interest that can be charged on credit cards — if it wins the next election. under the changes, nobody would pay more in interest than they had it's good news, bad news for aldi. it's had record sales in the uk and ireland last year. but profits have dropped 17% to around £211 million. it's because of the fierce price war between supermarkets. the boss of uber has apologised for what he calls "mistakes" and has pledged to appeal against london's decision to revoke its operating licence. the city's mayor sadiq khan says uber is putting "unfair pressure" on transport for london, with an "army" of pr experts and lawyers. if you're a female boss, you're likely to earn on average around £12,000 less than your male colleagues. that's according to research from the chartered management institute. it shows that the figure is worse the bosses than the rest of us. ann franka, the boss of the chartered management institute, joins me now why is the gender pay gap worse for bosses, do you think? it is because we have something called the glass pyramid, which means that women are forming the majority ofjunior managerial roles but they are slipping off that pyramid as you get more senior, so whilst we have two thirds more women at the bottom in the lower managerial positions, we only have one in every four bosses being female at the top and the higher up you get, the wider the pay gap is. i have got to say, there is a lwa ys gap is. i have got to say, there is always a level of astonishment that in this day and age, it is something we are still having to discuss. how do we tackle that particularly pernicious pay gap? there are a number of things we need to do. one, we need to recognise that it exists. so people who have been there and we ta ke so people who have been there and we take that box, this data simply shows that isn't correct. secondly, we need to recognise it is those little things that get in the way often of the bigger things. so the offhand remarks about women, for example, not being ambitious when they have children. those are contributing to a culture that penalises women on the big things, like pay and promotion. and the last thing we need to do, which the uk government is doing now with this new legislation, is get transparency. companies have to publish their pay gaps and their plans to address them. but speaking about transparency, i think the figures are only 77 out of almost 8,000 companies who are supposed to publish their pay gaps have actually done so. why has this happened? well, obviously those early adopters are being very brave. companies have until april 2018 and we are going to see a lot more companies going on the government website between now and then. so, clearly, companies have to get their skates on and get this information out in the public domain and their plans to address it. thank you very much indeed. and in other business news... the british computer chip maker, imagination technologies, says its reached a deal to be sold to the chinese—backed firm canyon bridge capital. this makes it the latest uk chip maker to be bought by a foreign investor. britain has to boost power generation by around a quarter if it's to meet demand for electric cars and electric heating. that's according to scottish power — which says much more investment is needed to handle the rapid charging of car batteries. unilever has agreed to buy the cosmetics firm carver korea for £2 billion from a group led by goldman sachs. unilever says carver is the fastest—growing skincare business in south korea. let's check in with the markets. not great news from the ftse100, bank stocks particularly being hard hit there. in germany, the dax is up, a lot of encouragement taken from the results of the german election. shares in imagination technologies have jumped 30% — that's after news that it's about to be bought. earlier this year, its shares lost 60% after it was dropped by its main customer apple. the euro slipped after germany's election result. the pound was stable against the dollar. the number of 85—year—olds living in the uk is expected to double over the next 20 years — and many will have long—term health conditions. yet new research — seen exclusively by radio 4's you and yours programme — suggests there won't be enough social care workers to look after them. the government says it has invested £2 billion into the sector to ensure a sustainable future. but does that go far enough? samantha fenwick has been to meet one family to find out more. she was a nurse, spent all her life caring for other people. sarah and pip hockey are sisters. three years ago, they both gave up theirjobs and moved back home to look after their mum, annie, who is 82 years old and has advanced parkinson's disease. they get four hours' help a day, but it is a real struggle trying to find the right people to look after their mum. this year alone, from the beginning of the year, we have had up to 30 different carers, which is... people just come and go all the time. they don't get paid enough, the carers. they're exhausted, they're doing crazy long hours. we've had to step in numerous times to cover care ourselves. recruiting care workers is really difficult in many parts of the uk. earlier this year, research done by the bbc found that, every day in england, more than 900 care staff leave theirjobs. rachel smith—lyte was a care worker, but after three years she'd had enough, and left the profession. she said the pay rate of £8 an hourjust wasn't enough. it was just so physically demanding, and i was starting to get health problems as a result. it was also very emotionally draining, and it started to kind of make me feel a bit hard towards people. and that isn't who i am, at all, and that worried me. the number of people aged over 85 living in the uk is expected to double in the next 20 years. many of them will need to be looked after in places like this. the concern is that there won't be enough people working in social care to look after them. new research suggests that by 2037, we will need an additional 1.2 million people working in social care, to meet growing demands. half of those will be needed in care homes like this. employers say they are finding it difficult to recruit and retain staff. the type of people needing care nowadays is much more complex, so it's hard work. there's a lot of sickness and absenteeism. that means people working double shifts, or longer, so that's unattractive, and for what? we ask more qualifications, and the pay is not getting more. can't you, as a provider, pay these people more? we could pay them more, but we're working on very tight margins already. the government say they have a plan to attract and retain staff. they have promised to consult on the future of social care. the worry for annie hockey is that this isn't happening quick enough, and she has to rely on her daughters for help. i just couldn't manage without you two being around. around 50,000 people have fled their homes on the indonesian island of bali — amid fears that a volcano could erupt for the first time in more than fifty years. the evacuations come after two days of heightened seismic activity. tim allman reports. it looks relatively peaceful, but it seems it may be waking up. increased seismic activity has sent tremors through the area. a warning that this volcano may soon erupt for the first time in more than 50 years. translation: this morning, we observed sulphuric spoke spewing from the crater and we have never seen before. they spoke spewed from the crater about 200 metres high. —— this smoke. an exclusion zone has been put in place and thousands have been put in place and thousands have been told to leave their homes. they we re been told to leave their homes. they were given food and shelter, no chances are being taken. the last time the volcano erupted, more than 1,000 people were killed. others gather at local temples, hoping for some divine intervention. save this village, said this man. i hope god will protect and always save this village from the volcano. officials have urged the public to remain calm but they admit there is no way to predict if and when the eruption will come. a man has been arrested in australia after apparently riding a train in perth by clinging on at the back. the 23—year—old was filmed holding on to the windscreen wipers of the moving train — before it reached speeds of up to 110km an hour. he was arrested by police after being detained at the next station. let's have a look at the latest weather with nick. many of us with cloudy and damp weather so far today but some of us blessed with a bit of blue sky at the moment. let me show you an image of that. some sunny spells across parts of east anglia at the moment but it actually northern ireland seeing the lion's share of the sunshine. i know we had fog to begin the day but most of us are out of that now and it is blue sky. this quy that now and it is blue sky. this guy can be found away from this strip of cloud which is covering a large part of the uk and underneath that, not just cloudy large part of the uk and underneath that, notjust cloudy but damp as well, with further outbreaks of rain courtesy of this weather front, which has moved on and it is here to stay a little bit. either side of that, we are getting sunny spells and because that weather front isn't moving, our weather stays as it is this afternoon, so what you have is what your likely to keep. let's look at things later this afternoon, a snapshot of the uk weather at four o'clock and some fine weather for much of cornwall and into devon, western parts of wales but then we are into this area of cloud. still capable of producing outbreaks of mostly light rain and drizzle that eastern part of england seen some sunny spells. northern ireland, loads of sunshine, maybe misty around some of the coasts and although it looks fine across much of western scotland, some areas of fog clinging to the coast. further east in scotland, damp and cloudy. if you have the rain, 15 degrees, with the sunshine, as high as 21. we keep a lot of cloud across most areas tonight, low cloud, so it is hill fog and if you are clear for any period, you may encounter some patchy low—level fog and temperatures down to 10—14. patchy low—level fog and temperatures down to 1044. light winds the most, the breeze freshening in northern ireland towards the end of the night and going into tuesday, rather grey start, misty and murky but it will gradually brighten up and i think most of us will start to see some sunny spells coming through in the afternoon although it is clearly not going to be wall—to—wall blue sky. the chance for a shower in north—eastern scotland, north—east england and east anglia and the south—east but few and far between. most of us with a bright day and a warm day compared to where you have a cloud and rain today. maybe a few early fog patches for eastern england as wednesday begins but find the many others. wales in south—west england, the wind picking up and outbreaks of rain moving in. this weather front is bringing the rain, moves through quite quickly and clears from north—east england and scotla nd clears from north—east england and scotland on thursday but another area of low pressure targets us as we go through friday into the weekend, so the end of the week, weather systems aren't moving very much now but the end of the week, the weather is much more mobile and active and that means unsettled. more in half an hour. this is bbc news. i am simon mccoy. delegates at the labour party conference have told the party could build a new single market relationship with the eu if it
