The academy of Motion Pictures said its board voted well in excess of the required two thirds majority to expel him. Peter bowes reports from los angeles. He once ruled the roost. One of the most powerful men in hollywood. Harvey weinstein. The movie mogul, the studio boss credited with scores of oscar wins and nominations. But now branded a rapist, and a serial sexual predator, the hollywood producer has been kicked out of the worlds most influential organisation. It followed an emergency meeting. 5a leading figures, including the likes of Whoopi Goldberg and tom hanks. In a statement, the academy says it wanted to send a message it means Harvey Weinstein will no longer be able to vote for nominees or winners of the oscars. There has been praise for the academys decision but many say this should just be the start. Mia farrow tweeted. The academys action is without precedent. Other members such as the director Roman Polanski who pleaded guilty to a sex crime involving an under age girl and bill cosby who was accused of Sexual Assault, were not expelled from its ranks. Harvey weinstein has been accused of rape by five women. They include the british actress Lysette Anthony who claims she was assaulted in the late 1980s. He has denied in engaging in nonconsensual sex but the scandal continues to unfold. There are two Police Investigations under way in new york and london while hollywood braces for more of its dirty secrets to be made public.

This is the most respected Film Organisation in the world and the meeting that happened, some of the leading figure in hollywood, people like tom hanks, involved in taking this decision. It is part of story. I was struck by Bob Weinsteins interview, the younger brother of harvey, in the last 2a hours, talking about his proer in the light of these allegations, saying his brother is depraved and he is shocked by his lack of remorse and revealing in the last five years he has hardly spoken to him. He described it as divorcing his brother five years ago. Apart from in the last ten days he has spoken to him a couple of times, but he was shocked that he showed no remorse and only wanted to talk about how these allegations had been leaked to these allegations had been leaked to the press. Killer drivers could face life behind bars under new laws being proposed by the government. Motorists who cause death by speeding, street racing or driving while on a mobile phone are among those who may be handed the maximum punishment. Andy moore reports. Joseph brown lartey was known to his friends as the gentle giant, at 66, towering over his parents. He was killed three years ago in rochdale by a driver travelling 80 miles an hour in a 30mph zone. Addil haroon was sentenced to six years in jail. The government says drivers like him could now face life behind bars. We think the courts should have power to impose impose life sentences for the reckless life changing cases with multiple victims or speeding or racing or looking at a mobile phone. The wreckage ofjosephs car was displayed in front of the houses of parliament by the Road Safety Charity brake, which welcomes the announcement. It is a victory by families of the bereaved, Crash Victims and charities including brake but we would like the government to go further and increase resources for enforcement so the law can be properly enforced. The Parliamentary Advisory Council for transport safety said there was no evidence that tougher sentences would act as a deterrent. I think its understandable where its coming from but i think there is a danger that it will disappoint the victims families and have no effect on road safety. This lorry driver, tomasz kroker, was scrolling through music on his mobile phonejust seconds before he ploughed into a line of stationary traffic, killing four people. He was sentenced to 10 years injail. The government says cases like this should be seen as similar to manslaughter and a prison term should reflect that.

At least a0 people have died and hundreds of people remain unaccounted for as wildfires sweep across Northern California. Thousands have been forced to evacuate their homes. One of the worst affected areas is the city of santa rosa. Dave lee reports. While huge fires to continue to burn over the hills, the unimaginable task of finding and identifying the dead is now under way. This part of santa rosa was known hauntingly as journeys end. It was a mobile home park, more than 100 people lived here. Specially trained dogs are being used to find bodies in the ash. It is terrifying. It happened so fast and there is nothing you can do. Attempts to contain the fire are beginning to work. Fire lines are being established by digging in and purposefully burning the vegetation. Still, the exhausted firefighters remain at the mercy of the wind, which has picked up again this weekend, forcing more evacuations. More than 90,000 have been displaced so far. Emergency services here estimate it will take some time before people can rebuild their lives. But there is no impatience. This Community Knows it owes a lot to those who are facing the fires head on.

Today is officially the last day to spend your old round pound coins, although some stores will continue to accept them for a limited period, and banks will still take them. The new twelve sided pound was introduced in march to thwart counterfeiters. Our Business Correspondent joe lynam reports. The hunt is on for old pound coins. Sofas are being searched, piggy banks empties and underused purses raided because from monday, those old pound coins will no longer be accepted in most shops. As of last night, the royal mint estimates that there might be £450 million worth of old coins still in circulation but from monday, shops and vending machines are no longer obliged to accept them. For months, but urge customers to keep them separate from the new coinage when returning them. This has been a really, really big transition period with the £1 coin, probably more so any change in coin because it is so prevalent in coin operated machinery and loose change. It has been quite a tight timetable but the important thing is people realise the deadline is looming, dig up the old ones and get them spent. All is not lost if you miss the deadline. Some stores, including poundland, tesco and iceland, will continue to accept the old coins until the end of october and in case you were wondering what happens to the old coins, they will be melted down to make a new one. Search for those pound coins. Big ben will ding dong merrily on high when its bongs are restored for christmas. The chimes have been silenced since august as part of a controversial four year renovation plan. Only new years eve and remembrance sunday have been earmarked as exemptions. But commons leader Andrea Leadsom has persuaded parliamentary officials to allow the bell to chime over the festive season. Does it feel weird on College Green reporting that when the chimes dont ring. I shouldnt admit to this, but a few weeks ago and i had raised the odd eyebrow about the coverage and then a few days later, i was going to talk to you and charlie and i sauntered down, not paying much attention to the time, just taking my time and then the cameraman said, come on, youre about to be on. And psychologically i was waiting for the bongs, because i wasnt going to be on until two minutes past 8. And i was caught out by the bongs. Theyre more important than you think. The weather is coming up. Back to our top story now. Some of the film industrys most powerful figures have voted to expel Harvey Weinstein from the academy of Motion Pictures the organisation behind the oscars. It follows growing allegations of Sexual Assault against him on both sides of the atlantic. Jason solomons is a film critic and joins us now from central london. This has emerged and been reacted to very quickly over the last few days. It needed to though . Yes, hollywood has to turn its back on Harvey Weinstein. He operated his studio like a Mafia Organisation and now like a Mafia Organisation and now like in good fellas, they have to turn their back on him. Theyre casting him and extraordinary quotes from his brother bob, that has an extraordinary tragic air to it, the siblings, one casting the other out. I was at an awards ceremony in london for the bfi and the award of a fellowship to the british director Paul Greengrass and looking down the list of fellows, there was two inclusions, bob and Harvey Weinstein. I asked what they would do about that and they said they would meet and decide what to do it. It was hinted that they would follow the bafta and the establishment is turning its back and throwing Harvey Weinstein out. It is interesting you said about the bfi, we will keep an eye on that, you mentioned bafta, do you think, bafta was one of the first to react that kind of set the tone didnt it . Yes bafta acted swiftly a nd tone didnt it . Yes bafta acted swiftly and suspended Harvey Weinstein. The these organisations there are due processes and quotas and two thirds of the Academy Board had to vote. I think we will see that happens across the boards of these places. But they have to meet and look at the evidence and say, well, we are not a court of law and some of this hasnt been in a court of law and he has been tried in public come could say and so due process must be observed. But the name has become so toxic that anyone connected with it feels complicit, we hear a lot about complicity, that people seem to be involved in protect him. It is because people hear the rumour, did you hear the rumour, everyone said i heard about it and rumour, everyone said i heard about itand didnt rumour, everyone said i heard about it and didnt do something and people say you should do something. Yes, idid people say you should do something. Yes, i did hear rumours, not to the extent, but he is a scary man, he has shouted at me and shaken me and threatened me and about not getting to. He has shaken you. Yes, he shakes people. He likes to shake people. He is a big guy with a big bear like hands. I have had the hair drier dreement from treatment from him as well. We knew that ha rveys from him as well. We knew that Harveys Hotel was not a place you wa nted Harveys Hotel was not a place you wanted to be summoned to. But that went for everyone, from people with scripts to executives with films that he was going to butcher. And it was a physical thing as well. We all feel come police sint, people who have been complicit. Harvey changed the way hollywood and particularly the academy did their business and made the oscars into a Political Campaign and put the logo from cannes and gave it euro style. If you were an actress with Harvey Weinstein you were on the red carpet trailfor weinstein you were on the red carpet trail for a weinstein you were on the red carpet trailfor a few months, weinstein you were on the red carpet trail for a few months, putting weinstein you were on the red carpet trailfor a few months, putting in the campaign hard miles. He changed that oscar race into a race, now with an industry around it with bets and derbies and the oscars i think will now calm down, because it changed the business and maybe in an hysterical one and there will be some relief the oscars can become calmer and maybe better films some relief the oscars can become calmer and maybe betterfilms will win. It is behaviour that is being examined and the culture of fear that it examined and the culture of fear thatitis examined and the culture of fear that it is produced. I wonder if this is going to change tangibly in the industry and other types of behaviour. He has been kicked out of the academy. But then you look at others, high profile actors, such as mel gibson and roman po llan ski. Theyre there. Yes, we could call them old dinosaurs. It was that artists were allowed, it was the work that was honoured and admired and we could ignored the man or the artist behind it. I think that is what is changing now. The modern era is about the cult of personality and that personality is now being examined and it doesnt matter how good the work or how popular the work the man or the woman behind it will have to suffer that scrutiny and you cant throw up this Artists Union and say it is about producing good work. But it is not, it is about being a good person. That is the shift that will happen in the industry. Very interesting, thank you. Now the weather with darren. 30 yea rs now the weather with darren. 30 years from the great storm, we have a real hurricane on the scene. It is a real hurricane on the scene. It is a long way from us at the moment. But winds of 115mph, it strengthened from this time yesterday. It will head north and weaken. No longer a hurricane as we feel the impacts on monday.

For england and wales it is still grey with some fog in the south east. But sunshine in the afternoon. Limited sunshine in the afternoon. Limited sunshine in the afternoon. Limited sunshine in scotland and Northern Ireland. More lieshgly to see this likely to see this light rain sinking south. England and wales dry with some cloud in the afternoon across western parts of england and into wales. Further east more likely to see mist, fog and low cloud lifting and the sunshine coming through. Up to 23 degrees in Eastern England as we saw yesterday. A very might night tonight. Mild night. And the winds pick up as ophelia gets closer. But some very mild air. Here is ophelia, by monday having run upfrom here is ophelia, by monday having run up from the azores. Not as powerful, but the centre of the storm will be near ireland.

Some rain here and in scotland, england and wales largely dry and in the east the winds wont be as strong. But we still have the last of the warmer airand still have the last of the warmer air and temperatures are up to 2a degrees. The impacts will come from the strength of the wind. It may be damaging, with some disruption to travel. You can keep up to date on that on local radio. Monday and into tuesday the centre of this low that will be weakening, it runs across Northern Ireland into scotland, taking gusts of 60 or 70mph here into southern strand and winds to Northern England by the time of the rush hour on tuesday. Only slowly the winds easing down. Further south, quieter in terms of strength of wind, but we could see some rain in the south later on. A lot going on and of course the potential for those damaging winds. Thank you. Now time to look at the newspapers. Edwina currie is back. We were talking of Alexandra Burke and strictly and the comedian susan calman is making an impact. She was brilliant. She has been touted as the comedy one but she is doing well. Here is her quickstep. Bring me fun, bring he sunshine, bring he love cheering and applause. Brilliant. Lot of gusto. I think she is auditioning to be the christmas fairy. She is fab.
