late last night, around 10:30 p.m., came the announcement from stormont that all schools were due to close, some parents thought that was a bit late in the day because there had already been an announcement in the republic of ireland earlier in the evening that all schools there would be shut as well. but you would expect some sort of block on affect on life in northern ireland today, some will have to change childcare arrangements and some employers are telling their staff not to turn up. winds in northern ireland are expected to be strong, the amber a weather warning is significant, meaning there is a significant risk to life from flying debris and falling trees but in the republic, a red warning, the highest level possible, has been extended across the country so people have been told not to go outside their house at all all day and troops from the irish army are on standby to help the emergency services in areas of the south and west were the gale force winds ike specter

is the financial settle m e nt they are stuck on is the financial settlement —— chief negotiator said. mrs may is going to brussels to break the stalemate and the timing is really important because later this week european union leaders will meet for a very important summit in which they will decide whether or not there's been enough progress so whether or not there's been enough progress so far to move onto the second phase, which is talking about trade. that's what the uk really wa nts, trade. that's what the uk really wants, but all the signs are at the moment that it is impossible that is going to agreed at the meeting later this week, nonetheless the uk is engaged in this round of diplomacy. the dinner is part of that. the prime minister also spoke to german chancellor angela merkel yesterday. there will be other phone calls to other european leaders to follow as well. with the clock on these negotiations ticking, the uk is really trying to get things moving. important days

they shouldn't have offered it to me really. if they'd offered me a lower amount, something that perhaps i could have afforded, but i can't believe they did it. high rent and low income growth has led

metropolitan police force has defended changes to the way it assesses crimes for investigation after critics claimed they amounted to a green light for criminals. guidance issued to officers in a recently introduced crime assessment policy recommends that many burglaries, low—value thefts and even some minor assaults aren't followed up unless a suspect is identified. scotla nd scotland yard says it must find appropriate ways to save £400 million by the end of 2020 and officers need to focus on serious crime with a realistic chance of catching criminals. the social networking site, facebook, is to help train children in uk secondary schools about bullying and other online dangers. the firm is to pay two charities to develop digital safety ambassadors. childnet and the diana

because it might get the juices flowing. a family in the us has built this replica of an at—at imperial walker on their front lawn for halloween. standing at more than six metres tall, this vehicle from the dark side has been stopping traffic and drawing crowds of selfie hunters. apparently the family is well known for putting on extravagant halloween displays. to keep the neighbours onboard they've even provided a suggestion box for next year's creation. the thing about putting on displays like this is whether or not others like this is whether or not others like seeing it out front of their house. this family has been smart because they had a suggestion box for next year so the neighbours can't complain too much about what's outside the house. nice neighbours, friendly neighbours but with a big at-at friendly neighbours but with a big at—at out on the front lawn. i would quite like living next door to that. for a week? i would have it up all year. a one-week limit and then i would go up and burst it. you should be really glad you don't live near them! and you! it is tough, i tell you! thanks, dan! shall i step in here and talk about some football? wow! i'm talking about ronald koeman because everton have not had a very good start to the season withjust have not had a very good start to the season with just two games won so the season with just two games won so far so lots of pressure building on the everton manager and whether or not he can hang on in the january when he might be able to spend money in the transfer window to dig himself out of a hole. they spent £140 million in the summer so at the board in everton they are thinking about whether they are going to see any results soon got you got you everton have won just two matches in eight premier league games. they were heading for another defeat when wayne rooney scored a 90th minute penalty, but they're still only just outside the relegation zone. manolo gabbiadini was back in the southampton side and he equalised twice as they drew at home to newcastle. saracens looked unstoppable as they began the defence of their champions cup title, scoring over 50 points against northampton for the second time in as many months roger federer beat his old rival rafa nadal to claim the shanghai masters title. it's his fourth time this season he's beaten nadal, who's the world number one. and a day after celebrating his 26th birthday, englishman tyrrell hatton was celebrating again when he won the italian open, that's two titles in two weeks for him. apparently he has won £1.4 million in the space of

is an ex—hurricane ophelia, she was a category three and in fact it was unusual because it was the northern and eastern most storm we have seen in the atlantic for a considerable amount of time and it's coming our way today. the wind is going to strengthen through the day, especially through the afternoon, into the late afternoon and evening as the ex—hurricane continues its journey, moving up western parts, northern ireland, northern england and scotland. we start with a met office amber warning issued earlier, it is for wind across northern ireland and here we could see gusts up ireland and here we could see gusts up to 80 mph. that means you will see small trees uprooted and branches off trees and tiles coming down, wheelie bins going down the street and large debris. take care if you happen to be out and about today. it's courtesy of an ex—hurricane ophelia. you can see on the pressure chart how tightly packed the isobars are as it goes up northern ireland and then across to scotland. gusts of wind around the irish sea and areas adjacent to it, up irish sea and areas adjacent to it, up to 70 mph, 80 mph where we have the amber warning across northern ireland and some rain as well but further east, a lot of dry weather around. it's all so warm and we're looking at temperatures climbing nicely through the day. —— also. by the afternoon west wales will still be prone to gusts of 70 mph and windy inland as well. as we go up the west coast of northern ireland, again, very windy with exposure. the same in the east, inland very windy, western scotland, the wind is picking up. rain moving across scotla nd picking up. rain moving across scotland but equally a fair bit of dry weather. in north—west england with exposure this afternoon again we're looking at gusty winds, severe gales. north—east england, still windy but not as windy at this stage. as we come south it won't be as windy, a blustery day with a fair bit of sunshine, temperatures up to 20 or even higher around london. the midlands, a windy afternoon for you. as we go across southern counties, againa lot as we go across southern counties, again a lot of dry weather but gusty winds across south—west england. through the evening and overnight you will find what's left of ophelia will cross out of northern ireland and into scotland and northern england as it continues to go north—east. here's where we'll see the strongest winds. by morning we could have gusts in northern england, particularly the north—east and also the central lowlands up to 70 mph. quite quickly through the course of tomorrow that will tra nsfer course of tomorrow that will transfer up to the north sea and we'll be left with a quieter day, much lighter winds and later we'll see the cloud builder across southern england with some rain arriving. we head on into wednesday we'll still have some of that rain across parts of the south—east and the channel islands but elsewhere it will be largely dry, there will be sunshine with a few showers across the north. temperatures closer to where they should be at this time of year. to recap, today the strongest winds will be in areas adjacent to the irish sea coastline and northern ireland and then tonight and this evening that will transfer across scotla nd evening that will transfer across scotland and into northern england, especially north—east england. if you're travelling, take extra care. we will. ophelia is on many of the front pages. on the front page of the sun and most newspapers are keeping a note of this. the lead story, however, is crime wave. it says there will be changes to the way that crimes are investigated and probed by the metropolitan police. some crimes will be ignored unless a victim report identifies a suspect. we have a sneeze on the way... i would do it over the back of the sofa if it does come upon me suddenly. this is the front page of the times. may dash to break brexit deadlock and hillary clinton on the front page was that the cheltenham literary festival. a wonderful juxtaposition but she has been doing the rounds. she has a book out discussing the election and she was saying yesterday that russia posed a new cold

watching johnny peacock perform was the surgeon who performed the amputation on his leg when he had septicaemia is a 5—year—old boy. the whole story is told in this article in the times about how

nurse. one of the nurses who looked after him as well raised money in the buildup to the paralympics a few years ago to help send him there to become a champion. they have all been so involved in what he has done ever since. be performed at amputation and they we re performed at amputation and they were in the crowd to support him. it was apparently a very special moment. he needs an acting coach

peugeot, they say that workers may find out more this morning and that 400 jobs may be gone. would you like to know about flatulence shellfish? this is quite important research because did you know that new research shows that underwater flatulence off the coast of sweden is creating as much gas is 20,000 towels. it is like one big jacuzzi. shellfish are found to produce one tenth of the methane produced in the baltic sea as a byproduct of digests in. they need to change their diet, how can they change it? shall i read on? the findings say that because of proposals to expand aquatics farming to feed growing populations small animals in the seafloor may act like cows and a stable. both groups being important contributors to methane due to the bacteria in the gut. can we harness that and turn it into some kind of amazing fuel for the future? that is a good idea. shellfish wind? yes! i am sure there must be a way. i wish i had never picked up that newspaper. well. we have learned

travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm sonja jessup. a bbc london investigation has found that legislation aimed at preventing illegal immigrants from renting properties is fuelling a black market in forged documents. an undercover reporter was able to purchase a counterfeit passport and a uk residence card from criminal gangs. under the new right to rent scheme landlords must check the immigration status of all tenants or face an unlimited fine orfive years in prison. an immigration charity says the legislation leaves landlords vulnerable. the right to rent scheme, on the evidence we have before us, has not been effective at all. landlords do not want to do this job. they have been forced to do it. and landlords are not immigration officials. a home office official says landlords are not expected to be experts in spotting forged documents. you can see the full report on inside out tonight on bbc one at 7:30. the metropolitan police has admitted that hundreds of thousands of crimes committed in the capital will no longer be investigated. the deputy assistant commissioner says the new guidelines are not about letting criminals get away with it, but about working with fewer officers and less money. the circle and the hammersmith andcity line both have severe delays because of a track fault. the metropolitan line has severe delays between baker street and aldgate. and there's no victoria line between victoria and brixton. there are also no southeastern trains to and from cannon street because of over—running engineering works at london bridge. this is how it looks at the blackwall tunnel, the usual delays made worse by a broken—down car. and in west london, windmill lane is closed between southall and osterley — there's been a large fire overnight in a storage yard. let's have a check on the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. it is another very mild start this morning following another very mild night. is going to turn breezy today. west of the wind perhaps not in our region, that will be further west and north—west. today the south—westerly breeze will start to strengthen through the afternoon. sunshine this morning with patchy cloud around this afternoon but despite that the temperature manages to hold. we look ata temperature manages to hold. we look at a maximum of 20— 22 celsius. in the sunshine and shelter it will fill pleasant. especially for mid—october. overnight we still have patchy cloud but gradually the wind will fall a little lighter. it is still mild but not as martyrs last night. the minimum between 11 and 13 celsius. the wind lighter tomorrow. sunny spells first thing but gradually the cloud will start to thicken and the risk of showers tomorrow afternoon. the maximum temperature significantly cooler. we are looking at 16 celsius. as we had through wednesday, various weather fronts. the pile in from the west and we could see showery rain arriving as well. still bright spells and sunny spells around but yes we could see showers. as we had through the week, the temperature holds the mid mid—teens. night—time temperatures still remain reasonably mild. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to dan and naga. bye for now. hello,

morning's main stories from bbc news: major disruption is expected in both northern ireland and the irish republican army storm ophelia arrives from the atlantic bringing hurricane force winds. —— irish republican army as. and karlov —— irish republic. the prime minister is heading to brussels for talks with eu leaders in a bid to end the stalemate over brexit negotiations. the leading with michel barnier and commission chiefjean—claude juncker comes days after they said talks we re comes days after they said talks were in deadlock. although her trip wasn't made public during last week's negotiations downing street said it had been in the diary for weeks. iraqi forces are carrying out a major operation to take control of a kurdish military base and oil fields near the disputed city of kirkuk. iraqi state television said vast areas were now in government hands. the kurdish regional government denied this but said there had been an artillery exchange between kurdish peshmerga

parts of the us state, killing at least 40 people. around 100,000 people were evacuated as the flames burned across more than 200,000 acres. the fire service said they were making good progress and that around 25,000 people evacuees had returned home. the metropolitan police is examining five allegations made by three women against the hollywood producer harvey weinstein. the assualts are said to have taken place in london between the late 19805 and 2015. he has admitted this behaviour has caused a lot of pain but has categorically denied all claims of nonconsensual sex. the head of austria's conservative people's party, sebastian kurz, is on course to become the youngest national leader in the world, after his victory in sunday's general election. mr kurz, aged 31, is well short of a majority, but he is in a strong position to form a new coalition government. the chief executive of the financial conduct authority is warning of growing debt among young people, who he says are borrowing to cover basic living costs. andrew bailey says action is being taken to curb long—term credit card debt and high cost pay—day loans. the metropolitan police force has defended changes to the way it assesses crimes for investigation after critics claimed they amounted to a green light for criminals. guidance issued to officers in a recently introduced crime assessment policy recommends that many burglaries, low—value thefts and even some minor assaults aren't followed up unless a suspect is identified. scotland yard says it must find appropriate ways to save £400 million by the end of 2020 and officers need to focus on serious crime with a realistic chance of catching criminals. the social networking site, facebook, is to help train children in uk secondary schools about bullying and other online dangers. the firm is to pay two charities to develop digital safety ambassadors. childnet and the diana award will get more than £1 million to expand their work. a six—year—old girl in china has been rescued by firefighters after accidentally getting her head wedged between two walls at a primary school. we should say she is fine. the emergency services tried to breakdown one of the walls but to no avail. there she is, fully wedged. rescuers managed to use sandpaper and slippery or oil to slide her out into the arms of her mother, who was waiting nearby —— slippery oil. she was completely unharmed but obviously a little upset. she went be sticking her head where it doesn't belong any more! a kids' thing to do, i wonder if i could get my head in there!” a kids' thing to do, i wonder if i could get my head in there! i got my head stuck in the railings many times because i have such a small head! you could wear children's hats, though, also a benefit. cheaper! always a silver lining! small head, cheaper hats! still the danger of getting your head stuck in small places, though! very small places! fairenough! places, though! very small places! fair enough! don't really know where to go with that one. ronald koeman? what size is this head? the looks like he has a pretty large head. —— he looks. let's all compare head size. i have a very long head.” once got a complaint letter saying don't turn to the side because your head looks like a deformed cashew nut. i remember that. people got offended. did you take that on board? i must always look straight down the camera. a peanut and a cashew nut. the pressure on everton manager ronald koeman doesn't appear to be easing. brighton thought they'd snatched a late win with anthony knockhaert‘s goal. but a wayne rooney penalty in the 90th minute earned everton a point and that means they've still only won two premier league games this season and they're dangerously close to the relegation zone. we play well in patches but u nfortu nately we play well in patches but unfortunately can't find a breakthrough or we shoot ourselves in the foot. it's one of those periods at the moment. we're working ha rd periods at the moment. we're working hard on the training ground to recover five at. we've obviously got games coming thick and fast so it's up games coming thick and fast so it's up to us to dust ourselves down, we've obviously got the europa league thursday and then a home game against arsenal. you've got to look forward to this, it's obviously not ideal, the confidence isn't skyhigh in the changing room but there's only one way we can turn it around. the day's other game also ended in a draw, twice newcastle took the lead after their long journey to southampton but manolo gabbiadini was making his first start in over a month and he equalised twice, taking them up into the top half of the table one weekend in and it already seems saracens are going to take some stopping in rugby union's european champions cup. they've won the competition for the past two years and they scored eight tries against northampton saints in their opening match, two of them from liam williams. it finished 57—13. as birthday weekend's go, tyrrell hatton's has to rank right up there, taking home nearly a million by winning the italian open. this birthday was on saturday and then he went on to wind the italian open yesterday. he won the alfred dunhill links title last week, and followed it up with a fine final round in monza. he turned 26 on saturday too, not a bad present really. a £1.4 million prize pot over the last few days so not a bad way to celebrate. i knew what i needed to do to give myself a chance and to hold the putt. i was pretty nervous over the putt, hands and knees were shaking but that's kind of what delights... the kind of feelings you wa nt to delights... the kind of feelings you want to have, you want to be in those cons of positions and i'm so pleased i managed to pull it off. rafael nadal may be world number one but his old rival roger federer has nobeat world number one rafa nadal in the final of the shanghai masters to claim his six title of the season. federer was in imperious form as he took the match in straight sets, it's the fourth win over his old rival nadal this season. federer is now the only man who can prevent the spaniard from finishing the season number as the world's number one player. perfect match for me really, i'm shocked at how it went this week because i felt good really from the first match so i think it really does pay off when you show up to an event really early, which i did, i already arrived on thursday here before my wednesday match and that's normally what i do before a slam so it's nice to see that it actually does pay off. maria sharapova won herfirst tournament since returning to the circuit in april following her 15—month doping ban. she beat the belarussian areena sabalenka in straight sets to win the tianjin open. sharapova trailed in both sets but recovered to take her first title in over two years. weather or not you are pleased to see her back, she is, and she has won herfirst tour see her back, she is, and she has won her first tour title since returning from that doping ban —— whether or not. do you know that tyrrell hatton celebrated with a burger? amazing! boxing birthday. i can't believe you have a three—day birthday in your family. only my husband and i do it because our birthdays are three days apart. if you do birthday, boxing birthday, then my eve, my birthday, boxing earth day. we get six days. squeeze it out for everything it is worth! —— boxing birthday. as we've been hearing this morning parts of the uk are expected to be disrupted by strong and potentially dangerous winds when storm ophelia hits later today. ophelia is already beginning to make its presence known in the republic of ireland, where schools will be kept shut after a red warning was issued across the country. joanna donnelly is a meteorologist with the irish weather service. thanks very much for talking to us today. what are the preparations that people are being advised to make? well, of course we've never had this before so this is our first time having to prepare for a hurricane to hit island. we've asked people to stay home basically, stay away from the coast, tiedown loose items in the garden, keep the wheelie bins and the patio furniture down and sort out animals. but stay home and avoid unnecessaryjourneys. a lot of places have been closed today and a lot of government agencies decided to stay home and a lot of schools are closed of course. take us through exactly what is going to happen and various points through the day? schools are shut, lots of people staying home, but when will the worst moment be?l lots of people staying home, but when will the worst moment be? a lot of people will wake up this morning and think it is fine, nothing is happening, but the storm is on its way. it is near the south coast and easterly winds are being picked up ahead of the storm. we are expecting hurricane force winds attacking the southern coasts from around 10am. they will move up eastern coasts by around lunchtime. it will probably be midday when we start to feel the real impact so anyone setting up for work this morning has the problem of getting home this evening. trees down on the roads this afternoon and this evening will make journeys nearly an possible for many. we'll have a lot of closed roads. anyone thinking about weather they should go to work this morning really shouldn't and they should take one day to stay home. we've never had this sort of situation before, it is totally uncharted territory. may be the red warning is overdoing it for some places for some of the day—to—day, but we don't know what's coming. really it's a hurricane, it's an ex—hurricane aim at this point in terms of its name and structure, but we are still expecting hurricane force winds. winds we've never had on these coast, storm surges on the east coast, storm surges on the east coast too. so really the best thing is to stay safe today. joanna, thank you very much. as we prepare for storm ophelia some of you may remember the great storm of 1987, which exactly 30 years ago left a trail of destruction after battering parts of britain. much of the devastation happened overnight and bbc breakfast was on air to report it, but the programme didn't escape the storm's disruptive path. we must apologise for this rather makeshift brea kfasttime service which we're bringing you. lime grove studios, the home of breakfast, is out of action this morning as a result of the bad weather. hello and welcome to breakfasttime. if you we re welcome to breakfasttime. if you were wondering where we were earlier this morning, i have to tell you the a nswer this morning, i have to tell you the answer is submerged in darkness in our studio answer is submerged in darkness in ourstudio in answer is submerged in darkness in our studio in west london. we've transferred to this one at the very last moment. the whole of southern england is in chaos this morning after some of the worst overnight weather in living memory. i quite liked it! i wanted to watch a little bit more of that programme. i literally sat back in my sofa ready to watch it. the south of england suffered some of the worst damage during the great storm of 1987. greg dawson is at emmetts garden near sevenoaks in kent this morning. good morning to you, greg. what impact did the storm have there? good morning, dan. it was around this exact time in this exact location that some of the worst damage was caused by that storm. meteorologists later said it was a once ina meteorologists later said it was a once in a 200 year event and the devastation was difficult to fathom and famously you may remember it was difficult to predict. there were tragically 18 people who died, 3 million homes were affected, and 15 million homes were affected, and 15 million trees across the country we re million trees across the country were ripped out of the ground. this place was one of them are worse places affected. we can speak to matthews got, you are head gardener here, give us an idea of what it looked like on that morning —— matthew scott. during the morning there was the destruction of around 90% 295 to 98% of the wider estate woodland, it was by the hurricane —— 90 -- 95% to 98%. in the woodland, it was by the hurricane —— 90 —— 95% to 98%. in the formal garden we are talking about 40% of our rare and exotic collections with only about 15% to 20% of the major trees standing —— 15 to 20 of the major trees standing. in the background we have one of the last standing beeches. you can tell by the height of it that this is a fairly new tree? that's correct. a lot of visitors that come here will see a lot of the planting we have in the garden now is planting that has grown up the garden now is planting that has grown up from the aftermath of the 87 storm. tom hill, you are in charge of nature and conservation across the south—east of england for the national trust, give us an idea of the wider impact of that storm. it was really a game changer. after 1987 the approach to conservation really changed in the countryside, certainly in woodlands. i think losing 15 million trees in a few hours was an event that was like no other and itjust hours was an event that was like no other and it just gave hours was an event that was like no other and itjust gave us a really clear context and a really clear way to stop and think about how we were looking after woodlands. we will talk a little bit about how things have changed with wildlife since that event. these two gentlemen are too young to remember the day itself but later in the programme we will be talking to people who were caught up be talking to people who were caught up in the storm about their memories. to the thank you very much. are vividly remember not being able to go to school on the day, 30 years ago. we went to school but i lived in the city said there were not as many... we were not as affected. there were a lot of trees down. i'm sure you all have memories as well if you were around then. carol can bring is up today with what is happening today because storm ophelia is already being felt in the republic of ireland and will hit the northern ireland and parts of the uk later today. tonight as well. we are looking at strong winds, gales, severe gales even. at the moment the met office has amber weather warning out a wind for northern ireland. the wind speed in land around about 60, 70 miles an hour with exposure, particularly in the south—east of northern ireland we are looking at up northern ireland we are looking at up to 80 possibly even more. that kind of wind speed can bring down small tree is, branches will come off, tiles will fly around. there be the breed generally and it is likely to affect transportation, possibly even power cuts. there will be debris generally. you can see it here on the pressure chart. isobars around the ex—hurricane at the crosses northern ireland and then in across scotland and england and the republic. this morning in the west, thatis republic. this morning in the west, that is where we will start to feel the effects but as we go through the morning into the afternoon the gusts will really pick up in the irish sea and northern ireland. away from that it is quiet start, i'll start with some sunshine. why the afternoon, off the west coast of wales, we can expect gusts of up to 80, the same off north—west england and northern ireland. where we have the amber warning to the south—eastern part of northern ireland, gusts will be strong. tillerson the rains crossing scotla nd strong. tillerson the rains crossing scotland and as we come away from the north—west of england through north—east england and the midlands again it will be windy but not as windy. there will be a lot of sunshine around and in the south—east will fill warned this stomach. temperatures could reach 20 celsius or possibly even a little more. drifting further west into the south—west of england, a lot of dry weather and sunshine, still windy with exposure across the south—west of england as well. as we had through the evening and overnight what is left of ophelia will move out of northern ireland you will cross scotland and northern england. another windy night in prospect. by morning we could look aghast is of winds at 60 or 70 mph across parts of north—east england and the central lowlands. bear that in mind, thatis central lowlands. bear that in mind, that is what could greet you for the rush—hour. that will cause problems with transportation to quickly tomorrow what is left of ophelia will push towards scandinavia and the wind will quickly die down and for many of us it will be a fine and dry day. but later the cloud will build across southern england and we will see rain arrived. the temperatures tomorrow will be close to where it should be at this stage in october. on wednesday we have read in october. on wednesday we have rea d a cross in october. on wednesday we have read across the south—east and the channel islands but away from that, dry and bright with just a few showers and, again, temperatures where they should be but the wind will be a lot lighter. it is all kicking off today, especially so in the west and especially so with exposure. lots to talk about carol to be quite a busy day in terms of whether. and we will keep your cross at all not just an breakfast but across the day on the bbc. are young people taking on too much debt? sean is taking a closer look at why the younger generation is happy to max out on the plastic. there are a few different areas of worry and concern about this level of debt from young people. we've heard from various regulators about the level of debt in the uk, but this latest warning from andrew bailey, who is the boss of the financial conduct authority, is specifically about younger people, with what he calls a "pronounced" build up of debt amongst young people. figures out from the insolvency service today show that nearly a third of 25—34 year olds say they're worried about their ability to make repayments on debt. like this office worker from cardiff. i took out a loan, paid for a holiday and then i returned from a holiday and then i returned from a holiday and then i returned from a holiday and realised that i needed to pay my rent. then i took out another loan and then it was birthday and we were going to bath andi birthday and we were going to bath and i wanted more money to go way with so i took out a credit card and i spent it all. i started going down the route of more letters and more phone calls... ijust ignore them. now i have been put on a debt management plan so i make one payment every month of what i can afford and they just payment every month of what i can afford and theyjust distribute it out to my creditors for me. how big a problem is this? let's have a chat to jane. these issues, are they familiar or to jane. these issues, are they familiarorare to jane. these issues, are they familiar or are they few and far between? we deal with a significant number of people and a growing number of people and a growing number will in financial difficulty. we have had more people contact us in the last year than we have had any time in the past and we are seeing a 10% increase there which is quite significant for us. that is quite significant for us. that is quite big but when you hear a story like that ofjeff, that building up of something else to spend money on and the only way to find the money for it is to take out or borrow it somehow. is that what is happening or is itjust people are not earning enough to get by every day? we are certainly seeing a lot of that. consumer borrowing is at an all—time high. something like £200 billion which is an eye watering level in the economy at large. we have heard a lot about the concerns of the bank of england about that and we have seen the sca take action. we certainly know that there is quite a lot of borrowing out there now. the difficulty is that that borrowing is key for spending which is key for what drives the economy to the bank of england has a tricky balancing act in terms of how they manage the level of lending. if they clamp down suddenly the economy might slow down... certainly. but a clampdown on credit might have a significant impact for people who use it and who need it for everyday life. in terms of needing it, is that too easier for young people to get another credit card, to get overdrawn? borrowing has been cheap for a number of years now and we have had many 0% deals on the market. the concern we have areas that at some point in the future we will see an interest point raised. probably about 0.25% of a number of people have never experienced an interest rate rise before and who have never experienced the changes next to their bills. use a 0% offer. you mean those credit cards you get where its 0% interest for a few yea rs ? where its 0% interest for a few years? are people building up problem for the future? it's not so much can you pay today but can you pay in the future as there is a change in circumstances. with some of those offers we have seen them be scrutinised over the last nine months and we expect at some point in the next shot wide, while we will hear more about different measures, particularly for people struggling to make a minimum payment. particularly for people struggling to make a minimum paymentm particularly for people struggling to make a minimum payment. it is a worry where people may go next, particularly if you have just come from university, you may have student debt, you need to pay to get your rent out, to pay your bills and a kind of stuff. if you could not get a credit card or go where would you go? so of our research suggests that people borrow from friends and family and that can be a great source of finance but you always have to factor in and think about what that might mean for your personal relationship if things go wrong. the bigger concern we have had over the past few years are the number of people going to payday lenders. although again we see measures being ta ken lenders. although again we see measures being taken to crack down on that market. thank you very much. jane kelly from the national debt helpline. —— jane tully. still to come for you on this programme this morning, medals are on offer for things like engineering, hairdressing and cooking and the design of jewellery. this hairdressing and cooking and the design ofjewellery. this is the skills olympics. stefanie has been there to meet some young hopefuls. ten uk gold medal hopefuls. she quite a time filming that. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm sonja jessup. a bbc london investigation has found that legislation aimed at preventing illegal immigrants from renting properties is fuelling a black market in forged documents. an undercover reporter was able to purchase a counterfeit passport and a uk residence card from criminal gangs. under the new right to rent scheme landlords must check the immigration status of all tenants or face an unlimited fine orfive years in prison. an immigration charity says the legislation leaves landlords vulnerable. the right to rent scheme, on the evidence we have before us, has not been effective at all. landlords do not want to do this job. they have been forced to do it. and landlords are not immigration officials. a home office official says landlords are not expected to be experts in spotting forged documents. you can see the full report on inside out tonight on bbc one at 7:30. a senior met police officer says it's "not practical" for officers to always investigate crimes such as shoplifting and criminal damage as the force tries to save £400 million. deputy assistant commissioner mark simmons says the new guidelines are not about letting criminals get away it, but about working with fewer officers and less money. around 70 firefighters have been tackling a blaze in west london overnight. people living near the site on windmill lane in southall have been told to keep their windows woes cause of the smoke. the circle and the hammersmith andcity line both have severe delays because of a track fault. there are also no southeastern trains to and from cannon street because of over—running engineering works at london bridge. this is how it looks at the blackwall tunnel, the usual delays made worse by a broken—down car. let's have a check on the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. it is another very mild start this morning following another very mild night. it is going to turn breezy today. worst of the wind perhaps not in our region, that will be further west and north—west. today the south—westerly breeze will start to strengthen through the afternoon. sunshine this morning with patchy cloud around this afternoon but despite that, the temperature manages to hold. we look at a maximum of 20—22 celsius. in the sunshine and shelter it will feel pleasant. especially for mid—october. overnight we still have patchy cloud but gradually the wind will fall a little lighter. it is still mild but not as mild as last night. the minimum between 11 and 13 celsius. the wind lighter tomorrow. sunny spells first thing but gradually the cloud will start to thicken and the risk of showers tomorrow afternoon. the maximum temperature significantly cooler. we are looking at 16 celsius. as we head through wednesday, various weather fronts pile in from the west and we could see showery rain arriving as well. still bright spells and sunny spells around but yes we could see showers. as we head through the week, the temperature holds the mid mid—teens, not as warm as today. night—time temperatures still remain reasonably mild. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and naga munchetty. warnings of major disruption across northern ireland and the republic as storm ophelia is expected to bring hurricane—force winds. all schools both north and south of the border are closed. the irish army has sent troops to areas likely to be worst affected. storm ophelia is expected to arrive in northern ireland in the afternoon and in the republic people are being told to stay indoors all day. the met office has an amber warning out for northern ireland, expecting gust of wind at 60—70 mph, especially in exposure, but areas adjacent to the irish sea and western scotland, of 70 mph. further east, a much quieter picture with some sunshine. more later. good morning, it's monday the 16th of october. also this morning: attempting to break the brexit stalemate, theresa may heads to brussels for surprise talks with eu leaders. new kid on the block, sebastian kurz is on course to win austria's election. at 31 he'd be the world's youngest national leader. good morning. are young people in too much debt? the old round pound coin is no longer legal tender, but there are still around 450m of them in circulation. so later i'll be finding out what you should do with your out of date loose change. in sport, a last—minute penalty from wayne rooney saves everton from another defeat, but is it enough to save mangaer ronald koeman's job? good morning. first, our main story. all schools in northern ireland will be closed today in preparation for storm ophelia, which is expected to hit the uk with strong and potentially dangerous winds in excess of 80mph. ophelia is already beginning to make its presence known in the republic of ireland, where schools will also be kept shut after a red warning was issued across the country. more on that with carol. our ireland correspondent chris page is in carrickfergus this morning. good morning, chris. take us through the timeline of what is expected to happen throughout the day. storm ophelia is expected to make landfall in the south—west of ireland in the next half an hour or hour or so, it'll be arriving in northern ireland in the early afternoon. there's an amber weather warning in place for northern ireland from 3pm that significance is it means forecasters have judged that there isa forecasters have judged that there is a potential risk to life because of flying debris and falling trees. all schools in northern ireland will be closed today because the most severe weather is forecast for the time whenever pupils would normally be leaving school. across the border in the republic the situation is more serious, there's a red warning, the most severe possible, across the whole country. schools and colleges are closed, hospital outpatient procedures have been cancelled, and the army is on standby to help the emergency services in the south and west, expected to be in line for the most severe gales. storm ophelia according to weather forecasters in the republic is going to be the most severe storm to hit ireland in more than half a century. people here braced for some ferocious winds over the next 12 hours or so. you keep us updated over the next two and a half hours. thanks very much. —— you'll keep us updated. the prime minister is heading to brussels today for talks with eu leaders in a bid to end a stalemate over brexit negotiations. although mrs may's trip was not made public during last week's visit, downing street says it's been planned for some time. let's speak to our political correspondent alex forsyth who is in our westminster studio. it doesn't really matter when it was planned and why it's happening, the important thing is these are crucial talks for the uk? crucial talks at a crucial time in these negotiations. downing street is pretty clear this isn't a panicked dash to brussels, they say this has been in the diary for a long time. it comes after michel barnier said the talks are in deadlock and the issue they are really stuck on is the issue of the uk's financial settlement, what it made of brussels in terms of its ongoing commitments. theresa may is going to try to somehow break the stalemate —— it may owe. the timing is important because later this week all of the european leaders will get together for a crucial summit and at that point they will officially decide weather there's been enough progress made in the talks so far to go on and talk about the uk's future trading relationship. that's what the uk government really wants to get on and do. at the moment all the signs are that that's looking pretty much impossible, nonetheless the government is engaged in this round of diplomacy, there was a telephone call to angela merkel yesterday. there will be other phone calls with other eu leaders and of course there this dinner pencilled in for this evening. but at this stage of the negotiations it will take a lot of diplomacy to break this deadlock. thanks very much, good to talk to you this morning. the metropolitan police is examining five allegations made by three women against the hollywood producer harvey weinstein. the assualts are said to have taken place in london between the late 19805 and 2015. simon clemison reports. the list of hollywood stars who've spoken out against harvey weinstein has been growing, with more coming forward herein the uk. i'm not doing ok. scotland yard says three women have now come forward to say they were attacked by harvey weinstein in five individual incidents in london. lysette anthony, seen here in 1982 when she was 19, told a newspaper she was raped by the film producer few years later at her home in london. do not let the ship sink. now appearing in the channel 4 soap hollyoa ks, lysette anthony says she remembers keeping her eyes shut tight, holding her breath and just letting him get on with it. other allegations range in date from 1992 to three separate assaults on one woman in 2010, 2011 and 2015. harvey weinstein, whose movies have received more than 300 oscar nominations, has admitted his behaviour has caused a lot of pain but has categorically denied all claims of nonconsensual sex. with some of the allegations made in this country stretching back years, it may prove difficult for the police to investigate. they'll also be mindful of the fact that if there are court proceedings in america they will come before action, ifany, here. simon clemison, bbc news, new scotland yard. the metropolitan police force has defended changes to the way it assesses crimes for investigation after critics claimed they amounted to a green light for criminals. guidance issued to officers in a recently introduced crime assessment policy recommends that many burglaries, low—value thefts and even some minor assaults aren't followed up unless a suspect is identified. scotland yard says it must find appropriate ways to save £400 million by the end of 2020 and officers need to focus on serious crime with a realistic chance of catching criminals. thousands of people in california are being allowed back to their homes after firefighters gained control of most of the wild fires which have devastated parts of the us state, killing at least 40 people. around 100,000 people were evacuated as the flames burned across more than 200,000 acres. the fire service said they were making good progress and that around 25,000 people evacuees had returned home. the head of austria's conservative people's party, sebastian kurz, is on course to become the youngest national leader in the world, after his victory in sunday's general election. mr kurz, aged 31, is well short of a majority, but he is in a strong position to form a new coalition government. let's speak to our correspondent bethany bell, who's in vienna. 31 yea rs 31 years old, we all feel like underachievers? quite a victory for mist kurz and he has really galvanised this rather tired conservative people's party here —— mr kurz. he's infused them with a new sense of energy but his victory represents more than that. it's a significant move towards the right in this country and that's partly because of europe's migrant crisis backin because of europe's migrant crisis back in 2015/2016. austria took in tens of thousands of asylum seekers back then and many austrians were deeply worried and concerned about that. it's also given a big boost to the far right freedom party and mr kurz could decide to go into a coalition government with them. we'll be following closely how the polls come in today, or the results, come in today. thanks very much, bethany bell. two major business stories this morning concerning personal debt. sean is here with some stark warnings from the financial conduct authority. the regulator that keeps an eye on financial services across the uk and levels of debt, andrew bailey has said this morning that he is worried about the pronounced buildup of debt amongst younger people particularly. it's not necessarily people borrowing recklessly, he said it isn't reckless lending, it's the fa ct isn't reckless lending, it's the fact people are looking to get by because of rental increases and paying utility bills. when the regulator says they are a bit worried about it, that gives a hint that there might be something further down the line that could happen. this is being reflected because wages aren't going up yet utility costs are rising in relation? that is something we have seen across all age groups but one interesting thing pointed out by andrew bailey is because the older generations have more income and wealth now, that is putting a bit more of a strain on younger people and so younger people are seemingly... the other stats we have out this morning from the insolvency service, younger people between 25 and 34, a third are worried about making debt repayments in the future but only 10% of older generations are so you can see why the shift might be happening. the consequences area might be happening. the consequences are a concern, where they go to to get their money next and to borrow money. we are talking about that this morning, at the moment credit cards and overd rafts this morning, at the moment credit cards and overdrafts are there, but if there is a tightening in that market, and generally we've heard the rate regulator isn't happy about how the credit card companies are funded. will they tightened belts themselves if funding becomes difficult? will rents and utility bills not rise as quickly for them to afford that? lots of questions about how people will afford it going forward but the question this morning is about the growing size of the debt younger people are taking on, particularly unsecured debt. definitely something to worry about. we will be talking more about this later. and definitely more on bbc business. slightly unrelated, are you a star wars fan? not really but then i saw one that came out recently and i didn't mind it. when rogue one came out i thought if i am going to watch that one i have to watch all of them. you are right for star wars. i don't know what that means. did you miss them in your childhood? my peer group didn't really watch it. sean is a lot younger than you think. are you 12? he didn't deny it, did he? you are late to star wars. i have caught up now. is this the outside a house being? i would walk past and wonder what it was. it is and of at—at imperial walker. —— it what it was. it is and of at—at imperialwalker. —— it is an what it was. it is and of at—at imperial walker. —— it is an at—at imperial walker. —— it is an at—at imperial walker. a family in the us has built this replica of an at—at imperial walker on their front lawn for halloween. standing at more than six metres tall, this vehicle from the dark side has been stopping traffic and drawing crowds of selfie hunters. naga said if she was a neighbour of these people they would only have it for a week. to keep the neighbours onboard they've even provided a suggestion box for next year's creation. that may not be nice, that could just be crafty to stop the neighbours complaining. it's got to be expensive ? neighbours complaining. it's got to be expensive? it's for the community, sean. of course! i'mjust worried just worried about the money! always the money with you, isn't it crazy it's the social media giant with an estimated audience of two billion people but, according to it's critics, billion people but, according to its critics, facebook needs to do more when it comes to dealing with issues like terrorist related content and online bullying. this morning the company says it will help train children in every uk secondary school about online dangers. antigone davis is head of global safety at facebook and we can talk to her now. we are alsojoined we are also joined by culture secretary karen brett lee. karen, we had you on the programme last week speaking about these internet plans. —— karen bradley. you said that social media companies are sponsored all for undeniable suffering for many people. are you getting tough with the likes of facebook this morning? i think what you can see todayis morning? i think what you can see today is the internet safety strategy you that we launched the green paper on last week, this is the reality of social media companies working voluntarily to pf°p companies working voluntarily to prop as the liver. we said all along that we want to be safe online and we wa nt that we want to be safe online and we want to make sure the uk is the safest place to be online while harnessing the benefits of internet. this is an example of facebook doing this. this is then saying we are going to be there, the first time we've done this in the uk, and we are thrilled they have chosen the uk to do this in. one of the things that the government has been criticised for is not putting this in legislation, and making it a volu nta ry in legislation, and making it a voluntary gesture, have facebook signed up to this voluntary code of practice that karen was talking about last week? you no, i don't at the heart of the proposal that came forward is making sure companies do what they need to do and are addressing the problem and today we are here to offer a landmark partnership with child net international to offer online safety skills and digital ambassadors in every secondary school in the uk. have you signed up to that voluntary cold of practice? —— code of practice. i don't know the details of that but i'm sure we'll be working to signup. this is part of theissue, working to signup. this is part of the issue, karen, last week you were talking about the voluntary code of practice, but she doesn't appear to know what that voluntary code of practice actually is. last week we announced the consultation on what the code would look like so we are working with facebook and other internet companies to get a volu nta ry internet companies to get a voluntary code of conduct and practice that works across the border that means we can harness all the benefits of the internet. let's be clear, digital opportunities are absolutely phenomenal and we want to make sure the uk is at the forefront of that. we don't want to hamper the opportunities but we want to do that in the safest way possible and that's why we want to work with the internet companies and that's why we're consulting on the code of conduct. you say you want to work with them and talk to them, she's standing next to you and she says she doesn't know what the code of conduct is. were working together on it. we want to collaborate on the proposals. that's good to hear -- we're working together. can you tell us we're working together. can you tell usa we're working together. can you tell us a little bit about this teaching young people to teach each other about how to be aware of the dangers of what can happen online? one of the things that came up in the proposal is that children really need peer to peer opportunities to work together. we know from our own research that about three out of four kids would prefer to talk to a pier when dealing with these issues, in fact half of them would rather deal with it alone than deal with and adult so we're trying to provide programmes in the school which gives them an opportunity to work with their peers to get together and have children share their skills that they have learned with someone currently being bullied. it's one of the most effective ways to get at this issue. strong words have been spoken in the past talking about moderation of graphic content. facebook being 5 ha m efu lly graphic content. facebook being shamefully farfrom graphic content. facebook being shamefully far from policing graphic content. facebook being shamefully farfrom policing hate speech. do you accept that you have gotten things wrong in the past? we are always trying to do better. in fa ct we are always trying to do better. in fact we recently released a report in response to requests about hate speech about how many reports we have and how we respond. we are always tried to do better. today is always tried to do better. today is a good example of the sort of investment we make and how seriously we take these issues. to speak to you both. it is clear that you need to have a good chat so we will leave you to have your discussions. we work together, don't we? i'm just making sure of it. yes. we do like to chat about things before we talk about them. 17 minutes past seven and this is breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning... schools have been closed across the irish republic and northern ireland because of the approach of the most powerful storm to hit the area in decades. theresa may is travelling to brussels to try to break the deadlock in brexit talks ahead of this week's eu leaders summit. hurricane ophelia is said to affect parts of ireland with strong wind. carol has details of that. again, over the past few days the mixed picture. stark differences in the weather we are experiencing. absolutely right. is happening today, as you said, are the remnants of the ex—hurricane ophelia coming our way. it is also the anniversary of the great storm. is the difference is that one is an ex—hurricane and the other one was not. the great can make storm was rapidly area of low pressure, a where bomb, in effect. its origins went tropical wearer as a ophelia is, orwas, a went tropical wearer as a ophelia is, or was, a category three hurricane as far east in the atla ntic hurricane as far east in the atlantic as you can get. it is the re m na nts of atlantic as you can get. it is the remnants of that that are coming our way today. the met office as the nambour weather warning out for wind for northern ireland. we are looking at strong wind today, in london. around about 50— 60 miles an hour but south—east of northern ireland could have 70 or 80 mile an hour gust of wind. they are damaging and likely to cause transport problems. also likely to see power cuts and debris flying. you can see on the pressure chart what is left of ophelia a lot of isobars around her indicating that it is going to be very windy with gales or severe gales. the wind is now picking up across the isles of scilly in south—west england. a mild start of the day here with temperatures already at 20 celsius. rain around with patchiness in fog but for most of us will turn out to be dry with sunny spells. we will focus on the west. through the afternoon, across areas adjacent to the irish sea, with exposure, we are looking at both of wind reaching 80 miles an hour. for northern ireland with exposure and the south—east, 80 miles an hour but still strong winds in the inland. they will strengthen across western they will strengthen in west than scotland and then come south into north—west england adjacent to the irish sea, still windy. the midlands will have wind picking up but not as windy. a lot of dry weather across a lot of england and most of wales with some sunshine. still windy across the south—west approaches even into the afternoon and, as we said, wales still windy with exposure. as we head on through the evening and overnight what will happen to exit ophelia is that it will continue to drift north eastwards. eventually moving out of northern ireland, across scotland and northern england. by the time we reach tomorrow morning we could be looking at gust of wind again 60,70 miles an hourfor the at gust of wind again 60,70 miles an hour for the rush—hour across at gust of wind again 60,70 miles an hourfor the rush—hour across the central of island of north—east england in particular. that could lead to some issues with transportation. quite quickly what is left of ophelia will push off towards scandinavia and the wind will very quickly die down and for most of us it will be a dry day with a few showers. cloud will bill in the south of england later introducing simmering. temperature will be back to where they should be at this stage in october. the rate will still be with us on wednesday across parts of south—west england and the channel islands to away from that, dry and bright with light winds once again and temperatures where they should be. just a recount, the stronger is wind today will be in areas adjacent to the irish sea coastline and across northern ireland, particularly the south—east corner of northern ireland. if you are out and about, ta ke ireland. if you are out and about, take extra care. thank you very much, carol. you know, she was talking about a ophelia there and we are talking about the impact. did you know that jellyfish are talking about the impact. did you know thatjellyfish are are talking about the impact. did you know that jellyfish are affected by it? | you know that jellyfish are affected by it? i did you know that jellyfish are affected by it? i did not but i am hoping you will tell me. this is in the mirror. thousands of portuguese manner war, these deadly jellyfish, thousands of portuguese manner war, these deadlyjellyfish, had hit the beaches. they have been found across southern england and wales but a look, do not touch these. the tentacles can give a sharp sting and they can be fatal to children. dog owners need to be careful as well and surfers because they need to be aware that contact with these can be very painful. that is in the mirror. i will show you a few of the other front pages. many stories about harvey weinstein in on the front page of the sun this morning. they have a story about a crime wave where police, the metropolitan police have been told to not follow what one certain burglaries where there is no identifying the suspect. you mentioned harvey weinstein. the front page of the daily mirror has the latest british actress who has claimed that harvey raped her and pledged to put him in the dock. harvey weinstein has denied all allegations. may dash to break brexit deadlock, another story we are talking about this morning. hillary clinton is well on the front page of the times. she is on some sort of glorious book tour. she went to cheltenham literature festival, talking about russia posing a new cold war threat to europe. that was one thing she was talking about their. yes. she was discussing that with andrew marr yesterday. a front page of the guardian, a story that not many have touched on the worth bringing up, over 500 people thought to have been killed or seriously injured in morbid issue, the capital after one of the most lethal terrorist attacks anywhere in the world. you may have seen on social media over the weekend james gordon was trending because of comments he made at a party, he made a joke about harvey weinstein. also blue planet has been trending because it is back. october 29 it returns and to celebrate, the daily mail has photos. wonders of the eyes, just to celebrate the return of blue planet. they have some of their favourite arctic life pictures. i love that chilled out polar bear. it is so chill. you know the myth, that they are all left—handed ? maybe chill. you know the myth, that they are all left—handed? maybe i made that one up. i thought they were all left handed. you can shake the hand of one and see what happens. look it up. 24 minutes now past seven during pregnancy of the year after giving birth, as many as one in five women experience severe mental health issues like depression and postpartum psychosis, during pregnancy or in the year after giving birth. the provision of inpatient units where women can be treated without being separated from their babies varies across the uk. plans for new units were recently announced by nhs england. campaigners in wales are calling for similar services — as our wales correspondent sian lloyd has been finding out. yours is lovely. there it is! happy times with her boys. but five years after the birth of her first son, charlotte still struggles to cope. during labour she began hallucinating and experiencing feelings of paranoia.” hallucinating and experiencing feelings of paranoia. i started to feelings of paranoia. i started to feel like there was somebody else in the room. i felt feel like there was somebody else in the room. ifelt the feel like there was somebody else in the room. i felt the curtains around me were shaking with the wind um i could hear a whispering that was coming from everywhere. the first thing i thought was if i tell anybody, they will take my baby. outwardly, charlotte tried to hide herfear outwardly, charlotte tried to hide her fear about how she was feeling asa her fear about how she was feeling as a new mother. i was scared off by chartered first because i did not know what to do. i did feel disconnected. i felt that i could not be a good mother. ifelt disconnected. i felt that i could not be a good mother. i felt that because i am not feeling too well i can be the mother he needs. she was diagnosed with a serious mental health condition called postpartum psychosis which affect one in 1000 women. treatment in a residential unit was recommended but with no facility in wales, the nearest was bristol and that was full. the specialist provision of mother and baby unit varies across the uk. there are currently 15 units in england with over 100 beds in total. four new age bed units are planned to open next year. scotland has 12 beds divided between two centres. wales and northern ireland currently have no units at all. mental health campaigners say this much is change. is incredibly important for the small number of mothers who are severely mentally ill that they get fast tracked into specialist services. that needs to be close to where they live, close to their families, close to where they get support and can see their babies. without that kind of specialist support, it can take much, much longerfor mothers to support, it can take much, much longer for mothers to get better.l review into services here in wales will publish its findings tomorrow. it is expected it will recommend that a mother and baby unit he set up. the welsh government says it is working to ensure that inpatient provision is made available and is looking at what form it may take. it hopes to have details by the end of the year. it cannot come weekly enough for people like charlotte. she has been involved in the campaignfor she has been involved in the campaign for change. without residential care, her treatment took over one year. vital months lost in bonding with her son. that decision from wales coming tomorrow and we will keep you updated. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm sonja jessup. a bbc london investigation has found that legislation aimed at preventing illegal immigrants from renting properties is fuelling a black market in forged documents. an undercover reporter was able to purchase a counterfeit passport and a uk residence card from criminal gangs. under the new right to rent scheme landlords must check the immigration status of all tenants or face an unlimited fine orfive years in prison. an immigration charity says the legislation leaves landlords vulnerable. the right to rent scheme, on the evidence we have before us, has not been effective at all. landlords do not want to do this job. they have been forced to do it. and landlords are not immigration officials. a home office official says landlords are not expected to be experts in spotting forged documents. you can see the full report on inside out tonight on bbc one at 7:30. a senior met police officer says it's "not practical" for officers to always investigate crimes such as shoplifting and criminal damage as the force tries to save £400 million. deputy assistant commissioner mark simmons says the new guidelines are not about letting criminals get away it, but about working with fewer officers and less money. around 70 firefighters have been tackling a blaze in west london overnight. people living near the site on windmill lane in southall have been told to keep their windows woes cause of the smoke. —— closed because of the smoke. the circle and the hammersmith andcity line both have delays because of a track fault. there are also no southeastern trains to and from cannon street because of over—running engineering works at london bridge. this is how it looks at the blackwall tunnel, the usual delays. let's have a check on the weather now with kate kinsella. good morning. it is another very mild start this morning following another very mild night. it is going to turn breezy today. worst of the wind perhaps not in our region, that will be further west and north—west. today the south—westerly breeze will start to strengthen through the afternoon. sunshine this morning with patchy cloud around this afternoon but despite that, the temperature manages to hold. we look at a maximum of 20—22 celsius. in the sunshine and shelter it will feel pleasant. especially for mid—october. overnight we still have patchy cloud but gradually the wind will fall a little lighter. it is still mild but not as mild as last night. the minimum between 11 and 13 celsius. the wind lighter tomorrow. sunny spells first thing but gradually the cloud will start to thicken and the risk of showers tomorrow afternoon. the maximum temperature significantly cooler. we are looking at 16 celsius. as we head through wednesday, various weather fronts pile in from the west and we could see showery rain arriving as well. still bright spells and sunny spells around but yes we could see showers. as we head through the week, the temperature holds the mid mid—teens, not as warm as today. night—time temperatures still remain reasonably mild. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now, though, it's back to dan and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and naga munchetty. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news: major disruption is expected in both northern ireland and the irish republic as storm ophelia arrives from the atlantic, bringing hurricane force winds. ophelia is expected to hit the uk with strong and dangerous winds in excess of 80 mph and the irish government has deployed the army to coastal counties which it expects to bear the brunt of the storm. the prime minister is heading to brussels for talks with eu leaders in a bid to end the stalemate over brexit negotiations. the meeting with the chief negotiator michel barnier and commission chiefjean—claude juncker comes days after the pair said talks we re comes days after the pair said talks were in deadlock. although her trip wasn't made public during last week's negotiations downing street said it had been in the diary for weeks. iraqi forces are carrying out a major operation to take control of a kurdish military base and oil fields near the disputed city of kirkuk. iraqi state television said vast areas were now in government hands. the kurdish regional government denied this but said there had been an artillery exchange between kurdish peshmerga fighters and mainly shi'ite paramilitaries. thousands of people in california are being allowed back to their homes after firefighters gained control of most of the wild fires which have devastated parts of the us state, killing at least 40 people. around 100,000 people were evacuated as the flames burned across more than 200,000 acres. the fire service said they were making good progress and that around 25,000 people evacuees had returned home. the metropolitan police is examining five allegations made by three women against the hollywood producer harvey weinstein. the assualts are said to have taken place in london between the late 19805 and 2015. he has admitted this behaviour has caused a lot of pain but has categorically denied all claims of nonconsensual sex. the head of austria's conservative people's party, sebastian kurz, is on course to become the youngest national leader in the world, after his victory in sunday's general election. mr kurz, aged 31, is well short of a majority, but he is in a strong position to form a new coalition government. the chief executive of the financial conduct authority is warning of growing debt among young people, who he says are borrowing to cover basic living costs. andrew bailey says action is being taken to curb long—term credit card debt and high cost pay—day loans. the metropolitan police force has defended changes to the way it assesses crimes for investigation after critics claimed they amounted to a green light for criminals. guidance issued to officers recommends that many burglaries, low—value thefts and even some minor assaults aren't followed up unless a suspect is identified. scotland yard says it must find appropriate ways to save £400 million by the year 2020 and officers need to focus on serious crime with a realistic chance of catching criminals. now one for the star wars fans out there. a family in the us has built this replica of an at—at imperial walker on their front lawn for halloween. standing at more than six metres tall, this vehicle from the dark side has been stopping traffic and drawing crowds of selfie hunters. apparently the family is well known for putting on extravagant halloween displays. to keep the neighbours onboard they've even provided a suggestion box for next year's creation. i think that's magnificent. those turrets, like a big loo roll out front. i can figure out if it was a bit of loo roll construction or if it was a blown up inflatable.” think we need to look into this. do you see what i mean? i think that's probably a bit of ndf and maybe some sort of poll for the turrets. let's look into that a bit more carefully before we make stuff up! carol will before we make stuff up! carol will be here with the latest on storm ophelia. it's already been felt in the republic of ireland, it's moving towards northern ireland, and parts of north—west england are feeling the effects later in the day. pharrell williams it a lot better than us! kat can do the sport a lot better as well! sometimes i can! dan does pretty well on football focus, though! down only does football, you do everything. master of all trades! —— dan. the pressure on everton manager ronald koeman doesn't appear to be easing. brighton thought they'd snatched a late win with anthony knockhaert‘s goal. but a wayne rooney penalty in the 90th minute earned everton a point and that means they've still only won two premier league games this season and they're dangerously close to the relegation zone. we play well in patches but unfortunately can't find a breakthrough or we shoot ourselves in the foot. it's one of those periods at the moment. we're working hard on the training ground to rectify that. we've obviously got games coming thick and fast so it's up to us to dust ourselves down, we've obviously got the europa league thursday and then a home game against arsenal. you've got to look forward to this, it's obviously not ideal, the confidence isn't skyhigh in the changing room but there's only one way we can turn it around. the day's other game also ended in a draw, twice newcastle took the lead after their long journey to southampton but manolo gabbiadini was making his first start in over a month and he equalised twice, taking them up into the top half of the table one weekend in and it already seems saracens are going to take some stopping in rugby union's european champions cup. they've won the competition for the past two years and they scored eight tries against northampton saints in their opening match, two of them from liam williams. it finished 57—13. talking about the fact some people like to celebrate their birthday on the day, you get it over and done with. 24 hours only. naga likes a three—day birthday. i like a good birthday week. tyrrell hatton's lasted a week, last weekend he won the dunhill is, this weekend he's taken home £1 million because he won the italian open. he turned 26 on saturday too, not a bad present really. what a week that has been, to make major titles in the world of golf for him. done brilliantly. talking about tiger woods, he hasn't been playing golf competitively since january this year. dan has put something out there, you didn't say a major tournament? i think he will win next year. something. if he is 60% fit, that is good enough to win something. he has been out swinging a golf club. this is a driver. normally when you come back from a major injury as a golfer you work up through the bag, you start with your irons and start chipping, people are saying he is hitting the driver really well, that must mean he is ready to make a competitive return. it would be great for golf if he comes back. it's easy to post one shot, so many times he comes back, plays a few holes and his back goes again and he's out for another few months. he's had three surgeries on it. poor old tiger woods but it would be good to see him back on the golf course competitively. maria sharapova won herfirst tournament since returning to the circuit in april following her 15—month doping ban. she beat the belarussian areena sabalenka in straight sets to win the tianjin open. sharapova trailed in both sets but recovered to take her first title in over two years. she is now up to 57 in the world rankings. rafael nadal may be world number one but his old rival roger federer has nobeat world number one rafa nadal in the final of the shanghai masters to claim his six title of the season. federer was in imperious form as he took the match in straight sets, it's the fourth win over his old rival nadal this season. federer is now the only man who can prevent the spaniard from finishing the season number as the world's number one player. roger, rafa, the saga continues. i will miss them when they go! we have missed tiger woods in golf, imagine tennis without roger federer and rafa nadal? rafa seems impressive after his injury. apart from when he plays roger. we have been blessed with novak djokovic and andy murray, a real blessing at the moment. we will tell our kids we watched tennis with a british number one. interesting how many majors andy murray might have won if he hadn't beenin murray might have won if he hadn't been in such a strong period of tennis. it's been excellent so thank you to all sportsmen! for being good at yourjob is! as we've been hearing this morning parts of the uk are expected to be disrupted by strong and potentially dangerous winds when storm ophelia hits later today. some of you may remember the great storm of 1987, which exactly 30 years ago left a trail of destruction after battering parts of britain. much of the devastation happened overnight and bbc breakfast was on air to report it, but the programme didn't escape the storm's disruptive path. we must apologise for this rather makeshift breakfast time service which we're bringing you. lime grove studios, the home of breakfast time, is out of action this morning as a result of the bad weather. hello and welcome to breakfast time. if you were wondering where we were earlier this morning, i have to tell you the answer is submerged in darkness in our studio in west london. we've transferred to this one at the very last moment. the whole of southern england is in chaos this morning after some of the worst overnight weather in living memory. a bit ofa a bit of a blast from the past there. back to the present day on there. back to the present day on the sofa, let's talk to greg dawson at emmetts garden near sevenoaks in kent this morning. greg, seven sevenoaks one kent this morning. greg, seven sevenoa ks one of kent this morning. greg, seven sevenoaks one of the hardest hit areas? -- sevenoaks. good morning, sevenoaks just areas? -- sevenoaks. good morning, sevenoaksjust a areas? -- sevenoaks. good morning, sevenoaks just a few miles away from this spot, six of the oak trees that gave the town its name were ripped out of that ground that morning when the storm hit. we are at emmetts garden this morning a few miles away from sevenoaks being treated to gorgeous views and the contrast couldn't be any more stark to 30 years ago. this is a six acre estate, 95% of the trees that morning had fallen. devastation across the south—east of england. many people found it difficult to fathom and of course it was difficult to predict, many people might remember michael fish‘s weather forecast when he predicted it wouldn't happen. lots of people caught out by the winds, they were getting up to 115 mph. onjoined by a couple of people who were there at the time. paul, you were a school teacher on a school trip in dorset -- i'm teacher on a school trip in dorset —— i'mjoined. teacher on a school trip in dorset —— i'm joined. what happened on the night of the storm? we'd been out on a day's geography fieldwork, 72 kids from worthing, we return to the caravans, the wind was building and building. around 10:30pm the winds we re building. around 10:30pm the winds were so strong that the caravan i was in was knocked off its foundations. at that point ijumped out of the van and we started to evacuate the kids. we took them down to the bottom of the hill where there was a little more shelter and at that point we counted them. we we re at that point we counted them. we were meant to have 72 but unfortunately we only had 71. we had to go back up the hill and in those five minutes, three of the caravans had been turned over. one of your pupils on that trip is with us this morning. karen perry, you were 15 at the time, how scared were you, did you have a sense of the danger you we re you have a sense of the danger you were in? at the time we were evacuated and it was very exciting, we left the line of the caravans and iremember we left the line of the caravans and i remember battling up the hill against the wind and it was all of funny and we were laughing. we sat in the minibus and we were explained to that we were looking for a lost pupil. we chatted and were excited at the time in the minibus and on the radio we heard the sad news a couple of firemen had been killed and it went a bit quieter then. we realised the severity of the situation. we were sitting in the minibus and things started blowing around and we were aware of the degree that was flying around and the minibus! degree that was flying around and the minibus i was sitting in was hit bya the minibus i was sitting in was hit by a corrugated iron roof that had blown off a nearby church that was starting to lose bits of it that we re starting to lose bits of it that were flying around. then we realised how serious it was and we were in danger. paul, the next morning when you saw the scale of the destruction, as a teacher responsible for the likes of karen, you must have been mightily relieved to get out? we were. it was quite an exciting time, we didn't have much time to worry about the consequences, we just had to get on with it. we quickly packed away, started our journey with it. we quickly packed away, started ourjourney home. the children were in high spirits but as we got closer to home the atmosphere in the minibus is changed as we entered worthing and they saw the devastation. they started to worry about their families —— mini buses. they got quite tearful and it was a very emotional end. just before we go back to the studio, look at this view over the kent countryside. matthew scott is the head gardener at the emmetts garden site. this view is only possible because of that storm? out of the destruction and chaos we spoke of, something beautiful began to rise up from the landscape. this 20 mile uninterrupted view was only possible through nonintervention management of woodlands, just allowing the regrowth naturally come back up. it has taken 30 years to get this site looking as good as it does today. later in the programme we will get a sense of the scale of thejob to get we will get a sense of the scale of the job to get it back on its feet. and some of the painting that has gone on in and around the south—east of england. thank you, great. iam i am fascinated by that huge cat that was next to you. yes. that is dolly. she has made a run for it now. she was enjoying the view like we are. she was enjoying the views, though i don't think she was alive at the great storm. that would certainly be a story if she were. carolus also with us this morning. ca rollers carolus also with us this morning. carollers on the roof of broadcasting house in london and talking a lot about the storm in 1987. storm ophelia to talk about today. are their major differences between then and now? parable in any way? that is a good question. they are different. the great storm of 1987 was never a hurricane. who did not ever originate in the tropics and it did not have hurricane properties. what it did have was hurricane strength wind. it was a deepening area of low pressure, rapidly deepening. a weather bomb. whereas today we have the remnants of ex— hurricane ophelia which was a hurricane, a category three hurricane, a category three hurricane about as far east and north as a hurricane can survive in the atlantic ocean. it comes our way today as a storm, as you rightly said. the met office has issued an amber weather warning for windfall northern ireland because of this. we're looking aghast is of wind at 60- 70 we're looking aghast is of wind at 60— 70 miles an hour. up to 80 miles an hour along the south coast. possibly a little more. these are damaging wind strengths that you can see the pressure chart where we have x ophelia, look at the isobars around the ex—hurricane. tightly packed. the track it is taking is across northern ireland and then later across scotland and northern england and it will clear quickly tomorrow. away from the west this morning there is cloud around with spots of rain, patchy mist and fog. that will give way to sunny spells and it will feel pleasantly warm. warm already in england with high tier of 20 degrees. strengthening winds across the isles of scilly in cornwall, gusting at around 65 miles an hour. as we hurtled through the course of the day we are still looking at very strong wind and is. adjacent to the irish sea, 70 or 80 miles an hour. england across northern ireland, 60— 70 mph but with exposure in the south—east, 80. that's transport destruction, power cuts and flying debris. wind will strengthen across the west of scotla nd strengthen across the west of scotland and there will be rain pushing north eastwards as well. and close to the irish sea in north—west england, that is where we will see gales or severe gales. for the rest of england, windy around the midlands but not as windy with a fair bit of sunshine. through the afternoon, still windy in the south—western approaches and west wales. as we go through the evening and overnight what is left of ophelia will drift north eastwards so eventually moves from northern ireland, crosses scotland and northern england. by tomorrow morning we will look aghast is of winds at 60— 70 mph across the central lowlands in north—east england. again, that could cause disruption to transportation, especially in those areas. tomorrow that will move away towards scandinavia and the wind will quickly die down and we look at a dry day with sunshine. not as warm as today, the temperature will be close to where it should be at this stage in october. the cloud builds across southern england and eventually we will see rain coming in as well. that will be with us as we head into wednesday across the south—east. in an arc down towards the channel islands. move away from that and back dry conditions with sunshine, possibly a couple of showers and, again, the temperature close to where it should be. that is how it looks. i hope that was a clear enough explanation for what you asked, dan. absolutely perfect. thank you very much. we are talking about old round pounds. they are old and are no longer legal tender. what do we do with them? there are still 400 million out there? even more than that. and i have found onejust now in the bottom of my bag. i was feeling smug but there was one left. knew she was your man bag later? absolutely. i am not shy about it. there are still 450 million old round pound coins out their. we got the new one in march with all of its fa ncy the new one in march with all of its fancy security features but if you have one of these somewhere in the bottom of your man bag or your handbag, what do you do with it? let's find out. 450 million of them are still out there and we have heard from loads of retailers that they will still ta ke of retailers that they will still take them. you have worked closely with industry to get the coins out there and get them back. are you happy with the process? it has gone quite well at the moment. we have received 1.2 billion of the round pound coins back. we are will roughly where we thought we would be. we knew we would get a lot back because of retailers who would start paying them back in. some retailers have said they want to extend the date for one or two weeks. that... ideally i think it is can see the confusing for the consumer but we can work without. what about a place like poundland, if they say it has worked quite well we will keep taking it for months and months. would you be happy? i think it is still confusing for a consumer and we are geared up to take the coins in volume now. the more we can do that now, it the easier it will be two processor through the system for smelting. if you have one, like i do, what should you do to it? you can deposited at your bank, that is not a problem. if you have a lot of them, they may have a floor limit. it may be worth checking if you have more than £500 worth. you can exchange them at the bank as well. that is no problem. and the post office will accept them as a deposit. you may have a big waddle full of the motorhome. turns out that people are still bringing back coins to you guys pre— decimalisation. —— a bottle full of them at home. an amazing amount. we get a few pounds worth of pre— decimalisation coins every year. get a few pounds

frank portrayal of what it's like to have a child with down's syndrome has inspired a musical which was staged at the london palladium last night. the label, which is based on the story of caroline and her son seb, was performed by a cast of 200 people with learning disabilities. tim muffett caught up with caroline and seb at their home in bath. where seb those, joy and laughter follows. but that was not always the case. when he was born and diagnosed with down's syndrome nine years ago, the news was devastating to me. everything i read made those fears worse. and then, as all babies, he smiled, he loved, he cried and he became the charming boy that he is and slowly that diagnosis fell away from him and he became seb. what do you enjoy doing? i like my scooter and my skateboard. they have a high emotional intelligence they are quite in tune with the feelings of other people. we were not told that when he was diagnosed, we were told negative things. years ago she wrote a book called the label, about challenging the preconceptions faced with learning disabilities. these are final rehearsals for a musical version. david stanley runs the music man project to help people with learning disabilities sing and perform. that feeling, as a parent, when you are greeted with the news that you have a child was a learning disability, no—one can imagine how that must feel. having our students who've these disabilities telling that story, i think it is powerful and inspiring. i cannot wait for this one. i feel nervous. very nervous. i think it will be the greatest ever. the world premiere of the label, part of a special night of performances at the london palladium. how are you feeling? really, really excited. i'm feeling excited as well. let's go and see the show. brilliant. in the musical, three actors play seb, notjust as the younger boy but as the young man he will become. this is the first time they have met. what is it like to meet these people play in you? yes. it is fantastic. and what it is like to meet the person you are playing? it is really good. # every day we see you doing something new. . . day we see you doing something new... ijust wanted day we see you doing something new... i just wanted to write a story that made people see the person and not the syndrome. # you fly a kite... # person and not the syndrome. # you flya kite... # here i am! person and not the syndrome. # you fly a kite... # here i am! the cast of 200 have been rehearsing for over a year. —— almost a year. what was it like seeing the production? a year. —— almost a year. what was it like seeing the production7m was amazing. so moving. really moving. i was covered in goosebumps. it was amazing. it is notjust the cast, it is seb and caroline also taking a bow. what a fun performance. thank you to both of those for being able part of that. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.. good morning from bbc london news. i'm sonja jessup. a bbc london investigation has found that legislation aimed at preventing illegal immigrants from renting properties is fuelling a black market in forged documents. an undercover reporter was able to purchase a counterfeit passport and a uk residence card from criminal gangs. under the new right to rent scheme landlords must check the immigration status of all tenants or face an unlimited fine orfive years in prison. an immigration charity says the legislation leaves landlords vulnerable. the right to rent scheme, on the evidence we have before us, has not been effective at all. landlords do not want to do this job. they have been forced to do it. and landlords are not immigration officials. a home office official says landlords are not expected to be experts in spotting forged documents. you can see the full report on inside out tonight on bbc one at 7:30. a senior met police officer says it's "not practical" for officers to always investigate crimes such as shoplifting and criminal damage as the force tries to save £400 million. deputy assistant commissioner mark simmons says the new guidelines are not about letting criminals get away it, but about working with fewer officers and less money. around 70 firefighters have been tackling a blaze in west london overnight. people living near the site on windmill lane in southall have been told to keep their windows closed because of the smoke. the problems on the circle line have cleared. there are also no southeastern trains to and from cannon street because of over—running engineering works at london bridge. there has also been a crash on the 83. travel does not look too dad we re 83. travel does not look too dad were told it is slow at sometimes the good morning. it is another very mild start this morning following another very mild night. it is going to turn breezy today. worst of the wind perhaps not in our region, that will be further west and north—west. today the south—westerly breeze will start to strengthen through the afternoon. sunshine this morning with patchy cloud around this afternoon but despite that, the temperature manages to hold. we look at a maximum of 20—22 celsius. in the sunshine and shelter it will feel pleasant. especially for mid—october. overnight we still have patchy cloud but gradually the wind will fall a little lighter. it is still mild but not as mild as last night. the minimum between 11 and 13 celsius. the wind lighter tomorrow. sunny spells first thing but gradually the cloud will start to thicken and the risk of showers tomorrow afternoon. the maximum temperature significantly cooler. we are looking at 16 celsius. as we head through wednesday, various weather fronts pile in from the west and we could see showery rain arriving as well. still bright spells and sunny spells around but yes we could see showers. as we head through the week, the temperature holds at the mid—teens, not as warm as today. night—time temperatures still remain reasonably mild. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. now, though, it's back to dan and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and naga munchetty. warnings of major disruption across northern ireland and the republic as storm ophelia is expected to bring hurricane—force winds. all schools both north and south of the border are closed. the irish army has sent troops to areas likely to be worst affected. the weather is bad in northern ireland, but it will get a lot worse when the storm arrived this afternoon. people have been told to stay indoors. there is an amber wind warning out in northern ireland. in the south—east coast we are looking at winds of 80 miles an hour. irish sea areas will have gusts of 70—80 miles an hour. in central and eastern parts it will be a dry, sunny and fine day. good morning, it's monday 16th october. attempting to break the brexit stalemate. theresa may heads to brussels for surprise talks with eu leaders. new kid on the block. sebastian kurz is on course to win austria's election. at 31 he would be the world's youngest national leader. good morning. are young people much debt? a third of them are worried about repayments and the regulator says it is an issue. i will be looking at what can be done little later. in sport, a last—minute penalty from wayne rooney saves everton from another defeat, but is it enough to save manager ronald koeman's job? good morning. first, our main story. all schools in northern ireland will be closed today in preparation for storm ophelia, which is expected to hit the uk with strong and potentially dangerous winds in excess of 80 mph. ophelia is already beginning to make its presence known in the republic of ireland where schools will also be kept shut after a red warning was issued across the country. our ireland correspondent chris page is in carrickfergus this morning. you are already really quite battered, thank you for hanging out there for us. you are beginning to see why people are being told to stay at home and take this weather warning seriously. that is right. the weather has taken a turn for the worst in the last hour or so, but this is mild compared to what it will be like when storm ophelia arrived this afternoon. in the south west in the republic of ireland the wind is really picking up, so there are signs it is making landfall there. in the republic there is a red warning in place, the most severe possible. all schools are closed and troops from the irish army are on stand—by to help the emergency services if needs be in the areas that will be worst affected. the storm has shifted westward slightly, so the west coast of ireland will bear the brunt of it. in northern ireland there is an amber weather warning which means there is a risk to life from flying debris and fallen trees. here all schools and further education colleges have closed. we are beside one of the main commuter routes into belfast and traffic is lighter than it normally is at this time of the morning and some employers have been telling their staff to stay away from work. the emergency services on both sides of the irish border are braced to deal with some really ferocious winds. thank you very much. thank you very much. the prime minister is heading to brussels today for talks with eu leaders in a bid to end the stalemate over brexit negotiations. although mrs may's trip was not made public during last week's visit, downing street says it has been planned for some time. let's speak to our political correspondent alex forsyth who is in our westminster studio. the important thing is not whether or not it is in the diary, but the fa ct or not it is in the diary, but the fact it is happening at a crucial time in the negotiations. yes, it is. last week we had the european union's chief negotiator, michel barnier, saying the negotiation was in deadlock. downing street says this is not a panic visit, it has beenin this is not a panic visit, it has been in the diary for some time, but theresa may will try to break the stalemate. the sticking point is the financial settlement, what the uk may owe the eu and what it is willing to pay. the timing of the dinner is crucial as well. later on this week all 27 eu leaders and theresa may will get together at a summit in brussels and at that point they will decide whether there has beenin they will decide whether there has been in progress in the talks to move on to the uk's future relationship with the eu, talking trade. that is what they use cape government really wants to do that the uk government. but it looks highly unlikely that that will be agreed. nonetheless, the uk government is engaged in this round of diplomacy so there has been a phone call to angela merkel and other eu leaders and we have this dinner tonight when theresa may will sit down with jean—claude juncker, the president of the eu, and the chief negotiator, michel barnier, as well as david davis, the senior uk negotiator. there will be senior figures around the table to see if they can break the deadlock, but that may take more than diplomacy. the metropolitan police is examining five allegations made by three women against the hollywood producer harvey weinstein. the assaults are said to have taken place in london between the late 19805 and 2015. simon clemison reports. harvey weinstein has categorically denied all claims of nonconsensual sex. the metropolitan police has defended changes to the way it assesses crimes for investigation after critics claimed they amounted to a green light for criminals. recent guidance issued to officers recommend that many burglaries, low value thefts and even some minor assaults are not followed up unless a suspect is identified. scotland yard says it must find appropriate ways to save £400 million by 2020 and officers need to focus on serious crime with a realistic chance of catching criminals. thousands of people in california are being allowed back to their homes after firefighters gained control of the wildfires which have killed at least 40 people and devastated parts of the us state. around 100,000 people were evacuated as the flames burned across more than 200,000 acres. the fire service said it was making good progress and that around 25,000 people had returned home. the head of austria's conservative people's party, sebastian kurz is on course to become the youngest national leader in the world after his victory in sunday's general election. mr kurz, who is 31 years old, is well short of a majority, but he is in a strong position to form a new coalition government. let's speak to our correspondent bethany bell who is in vienna. good morning. it is definitely a feeling of underachievement when you see a 31—year—old leader of a country! yes, it has been a real victory for sebasian kurz. he has already been austria's foreign minister, but now he has taken over his rather tired conservative party and really given them a new sense of energy with this election victory. one of the reasons he has been so successful is he has taken a very tough line against migrants, illegal migration. you may remember that austria was one of the countries that was most hit by the migrant crisis in 2015. it took in tens of thousands of asylum seekers and that made a lot of people here in austria concerned. there has been a big shift to the right. one of the other parties that has campaigned against migrants is the far right freedom party, and a lot of people are speculating that sebasian kurz may choose to go into a coalition with the far right which could be quite controversial and prove a headache for the eu which is already dealing with nationalist parties in countries like germany, hungary and poland. thank you very much. we have a couple of major business stories this morning. i suppose we should start with the warning from the financial conduct authority. the head, andrew bailey, they regulate financial services and consumer debt, he said he has seen a particular growth in the area of debt building up for young people that maybe before did not quite exist. pronounced was the word he used. he said it is not reckless borrowing. instinctively people might think you should know better, you should not be borrowing that amount ata you should not be borrowing that amount at a young age. but rentals have been going up very quickly, younger people are renting a lot more than they are owning homes. he talked about that a lot. they are borrowing more to keep up with that. income growth, which is something we talked about across all ages, but for younger people it has not been there. he makes the point that older generations have got more of the income and that is why they are being squeezed. and younger people are more worried about debt repayments than the older generation. and they are looking at who is lending to people. the banks are offering credit cards and ove rd rafts. are offering credit cards and overdrafts. should it be tightened and if it is, where do they get the money from after that? facebook has told breakfast it plans to train children in every uk secondary school to help deal with bullying and other online dangers. the social networking firm will pay two charities to develop what it calls digital safety ambassadors. let's speak to our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones. good morning. first, can you tell us exactly how the scheme will work? good morning. facebook is building on the work of the diana award and another charity you which are already working in schools to train young people to act as anti—bullying ambassadors, digital safety advisers. facebook is putting in about £1 million, and they say it will be enough to take the scheme nationwide to 4500 secondary schools. the theory is young people are better at teaching each other about these issues than a parent or teacher. you are more likely to listen to them than your mum and dad ora listen to them than your mum and dad or a teacher. we have received criticism in the past by various things. it is only £1 million, do you think the scheme goes far enough? the scheme has been welcomed by the culture secretary who says it isa by the culture secretary who says it is a good start. but the government last week brought out an internet safety strategy where it says it wa nts a safety strategy where it says it wants a code of practice by all the social media companies to agree on a volu nta ry social media companies to agree on a voluntary code of practice. that will be pretty hard. facebook, twitter, snapchat, they have all got different rules and different problems in schools. getting them to agree a common code of practice voluntarily will not be easy. the government says if they do not shape up, it is willing to impose something. it has got an extraordinary ambition to make britain the safest place in the world to be online. that will be tricky, but facebook will help with that and we will have to see how far that and we will have to see how far that £1 million goes. lots of people watched on iplayer, so you can see the interview that we did earlier with the head in charge of safety at facebook and the culture secretary. last year more than half a million nhs patients were referred to private hospitals for treatment and many others used them after deciding to pay for procedures themselves. but the president of the royal college of surgeons has told the bbc‘s panorama programme that we do not have enough data to know if private hospitals are safe. here he is in conversation with panorama's darragh mcintyre on tonight's programme. we do not know exactly what is going on in the private sector. it cannot be as robust or as safe as the nhs at the moment for the simple reason that you do not have complete reporting of all patients who are treated in the private sector. is that good enough? no, it is not, it is unacceptable, things have to change. we have lots of checks and bala nces change. we have lots of checks and balances that have been used in the last 20 years that allow us to say with a fair degree of certainty that the standard is good in an nhs hospital. i cannot so easily confirm that standard in every private hospital. panorama's darragh mcintyre joins us now, along with debbie douglas who was the victim of a rogue surgeon at a private hospital. good morning. tell us about this investigation that panorama has done. you heard from the royal couege done. you heard from the royal college of surgeons. there are concerns focus on things like the reporting of serious incidents and so—called never events. those are extreme mistakes that should never have happened. they say these are not being reported in a consistent way or at all to national databases. they are also concerned about the lack of clinical audit data coming from the private sector. debbie, you we re from the private sector. debbie, you were one of ian paterson's patients. he was a breast surgeon who work in the west midlands and in may he was convicted of 17 counts of wounding and intent and was sent to prison for 15 years. can you tell us what i was told that he was a very competent surgeon. i was told i was lucky to have him. what i found out subsequently i didn't need the surgery that he gave me. i had cancer, but it was a small tumour with no spread and i was given an unnecessary mastectomy. i was given a wide local incision which removed all my lymth nodes and i was given chemotherapy that i didn't need and i was put through all that and to know it was unnecessary was just devastating. what happened after when you, you found out this was unnecessary. happened after that? when you, you found out this was unnecessary. happened after that7m was a long process. i actually attended court because i wanted to see some details about the case and it was clear that records weren't kept correctly. there was insufficient data around him. he certainly didn't make any significant notes about each individual patient which has made it difficult then to get to the data that was required really. and you we re that was required really. and you were being treated privately. dara there, is the problem, when we started this item, we said people don't have enough data about private hospitals? it could be argued what happened to debbie and so many others in birmingham wouldn't have happened if there was enough information available about the practises of that particular surgeon in various hospitals and including the nhs and birmingham. i should tell you we put this to the industry and the industry said to us that when it comes to data they are getting better. more is becoming available and when it does, they are putting it up there. they say when it comes to safety they take it every bit as seriously as the nhs does. we found it difficult to get anyone from the industry to speak to us on ka ra. one said darragh, the reason that people agree with their royal college of surgeons on this. debbie, you decided to go private and have the operation on the recommendation of others, did you assume the same cover would exist?” had private health care through work andi had private health care through work and i assumed that i would get the best treatments. i assumed that when he told me that my pathology results we re he told me that my pathology results were ready in 48 hours, that's because the private sector is so great. what i didn't realise there is no way they could have been ready in 48 hours and when i was told the surgeon would take seven hours to do the operation and he did it in three, four hours with his plastic surgeon it was really good that he has got faster. however, there was no standard hours for his operation. therefore, nobody questioned the fa ct therefore, nobody questioned the fact that he was doing the operations in such a short space of time. and thousands of patients have been affected. hundreds of patients have had unnecessary mistakes made. does it continue to affect you today? how is your health now? luckily my health is ok. i have gone through around round of mri scans and ct scans, however he left 50% breast tissue that should have been removed. so i don't know if my cancer will reoccur. many friends of mine have died because he left unnecessary breast tissue and there is no data, there is data from the nhs, but no data from the private sector to tell us how many of those patients have died because of his neglect. i am amazed you're speaking so calmly. i'm furious for you. darragh, there is the problem of compensation and how you actually go through that process? debbie actually came across this so she knows the situation first hand. we found out through this case that sometimes patients who have been harmed ina sometimes patients who have been harmed in a private hospital, at the hands of a private surgeon, can find it very difficult to get compensation. the reason is that the hospital can say, "well, the surgeon was self—employed contractor, a freelancer and because they are not an employee the hospital will refuse to accept liability. " an employee the hospital will refuse to accept liability." so they are just providing the operating theatre? they are not in charge of theatre? they are not in charge of the actual operations? that's it. the problem can be then if the surgeon's insurer says we are not going to insure the surgeon because the surgeon has broken some set of rules. the reason that can happen is because most doctors insurers are discretionary policies so that means that the insurer can simply walk away in certain rare circumstances, fwhun the less, they can do it and they did in this case and right up until very recently this case was contested by the hospital until they settled out of court without admitting liability and did put up a pot of money for many of the victims. it makes you angry thinking about it, but many people have been this the same situation that you we re this the same situation that you were and not knowing about the lack of regulation and lack of data and annoyingly fell into the same trap? absolutely. this is why i'm calling for a public inquiry. there has been two reviews into this. and still nothing has really changed in my opinion. so it's important that we get a say and it's important the systems and processes that failed me and hundreds of others, are actually that something good comes from this and something is fixed in the system because at the moment there is nothing. thank you for being honest with us debbie, darragh. panorama: how safe is your operation is on bbc one at 8:30 this evening. we are talking a lot about storm ophelia which is arriving in ireland and moving to northern ireland and coming to the uk later. winds up to 80mph. we can get more detailfrom carol. that's right, dan. we've got so many anomalies with the weather today. for starters across west wales, the temperature is already 22, 23 celsius around aberystwyth. cornwall, temperatures up to 20 celsius. the wind is strengthening. already strengthening across the isles of scilly, gugs at 67mph, southern parts of the republic of ireland, it's gusting at 62mph. and it will continue to strengthen. so the met office has issued an am beryl wind warning for northern ireland where inland we are looking at gusts of wind 60mph to 70mph. in the south east of northern ireland, we are looking in the coast at 80mph, possibly a little bit more. these are damaging gusts. there will be large coastal waves. there will be large coastal waves. there will be power cuts possibly and also disruption to transportation. now you can see on the pressure chart where ex— hurricane ophelia is, moving in across ireland and into northern ireland and into scotland and northern england by this time tomorrow morning and quickly clearing. so away from the west where we have got the strengthening winds we are looking at a lot of dry weather. there are showers around and cloud, but most will break and most of us will have a sunny, warm day. in the west, we have got the continuing strengthening of the wind and thunder and lightening coming in across the irish sea and there is rain connected with ex— hurricane ophelia. we have got the amber weather warning out for northern ireland through the course of the afternoon. that's when we will see the winds start to strengthen. they will continue through the late afternoon and evening. for western scotland, through the afternoon the wind will also strengthen. there will be rain crossing scotland, some dry weather as well and for north—west england, close to the irish sea coast, that's where we will have the gusts of wind 70mph to 80mph. for much of the rest of england, it will be a dry, fine afternoon with sunny spells. the wind picking up across the midlands, but not the strength we are looking at in the west. the south—western approaches, very windy with gales. and again, across wales, we are looking at gusts of wind with exposure, again 70mph to 80mph. through this evening and overnight what you will find is what's left of ophelia will continue to move into scotla nd ophelia will continue to move into scotland and across northern england. the winds will ease across northern ireland. by tomorrow morning's rush hour, for the central lowla nds morning's rush hour, for the central lowlands and north—east england, we are looking at gusts of wind 60mph to 70mph that could cause disruption to 70mph that could cause disruption to transport. so if you're travelling bear that in mind, but quickly, the remnants of ophelia will push off towards scandinavia, leaving us with a largely dry day, one or two showers in the north, but later it will cloud over in southern england and later we will see rain arrive. temperatures tomorrow, not as high as today. so, closer to where they should be at this stage in october. for wednesday, we are looking at that arc of rain across the south east of england and across the south east of england and across the channel islands. move north, drier and brighter is conditions can sunshine and one or two showers, but the winds much lighter and temperatures roughly where they should be at this stage in october dan and naga. thank you
