was extraordinary. shark feeding is my highlight and like janet, blue peter was pc before pc was in. we will see what you're up to later on. that is five o'clock later. i'm going to see if i am now qualified for my blue peter badge! backs macro. time for a look at the weather. here's susan powell. not the brightest of starts to the day, but it did start to brighten up quite quickly in the south—east, and across east anglia, this is london, the sunshine breaking through the cloud. we are getting quite a bit of sunshine in the midlands and towards the south—west, and up to the north—east. the south—east and east anglia winning out with the bright weather, and it will feel like 22 or 23 this afternoon. sunny spells elsewhere. until we have a weather front which will push its way in into west wales. sharp showers through the evening across scotland and northern ireland. most of those clearing after midnight. a finite across the northern half of the uk. —— afine across the northern half of the uk. —— a fine night. the weather front will be more of a problem into wednesday, nothing too dramatic but it would be moving in a hurry. cloud in the midlands and the south—west, rain at times and then it dribbles its way east and across the southern counties for the afternoon. it will bea counties for the afternoon. it will be a grey and dank day and that but tomorrow afternoon it will look rather different for east anglia and the south—east. the best of the sunshine further north. further ahead, high pressure will build on the atlantic and that will do away with these pesky fronts and it will wea ken with these pesky fronts and it will weaken this affair to the south on thursday, so patchy cloud to the far south on thursday, and elsewhere a nice day, plenty of autumn sunshine. it will be fresher than it has been in recent days, temperatures about average for the time of year. we have been spoiled with higher than average figures recently. the weather front will try to topple round the top of our area of high pressure on friday, so we could see some more cloud for scotland and northern ireland. but there is still a lot of fairweather for the majority of the uk even as we look longer term but for friday more cloud and rain towards the north west and across england and wales plenty of autumn sunshine and temperatures creeping up a little bit, 16-17. that's all from the bbc news at one — so it's goodbye from me — and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. good afternoon. hello, you're watching bbc news. i'm olly foster at the bbc sport centre. jose mourinho has been charged by the football association following his outburst after manchester united's game against newcastle ten days ago. united won the match to end a dismal run, but mourinho was seen aiming comments towards a camera before he left the pitch. it's alleged that the language he used was "abusive and/or insulting and/or improper". he has until friday to respond to the charge. the england defender kieran trippier says the team sent out a statement in beating spain last night and set a standard that they have to aspire to. they won 3—2 in the nations league, with two of their goals coming from raheem sterling. his first for england in three years. marcus rashford also scored as they went 3—0 up by half—time. it was spain's first competitive defeat at home in 15 years and england's first victory in spain in over 30. trippier called it a perfect performance, the manager didn't go that far but he is happy with how his team are playing at the moment we had a really good summer and we had to show signs that we could step forward and we have learned a lot this, it has been a good week, two good performances, we have tried a new system, we have found out a lot about some young players who have done exceptionally well. so, yeah, i'm really happy with what everyone's done. northern ireland are bottom of their nations league group with no points after their latest defeat, beaten away against bosnia— herzegovina 2—0. but they hit the woodwork three times. they were already trailing to an eden dzeko goal when gavin whyte came off the bench, he managed to hit the post from pretty much point blank range. dzeko then scored his second. northern ireland are now favourites to be realgated with one game against austria left to play. there are more nations league matches tonight. wales are in dublin facing the republic of ireland and will go top of the group with a win, but they will have to do without their two star players. already missing gareth bale through injury. aaron ramsay is also unavailable after becoming father to twins. it has happened in the past and it will happen in the future where we have to cope without our better future. i will give players chances, no matter what age they are. then it is up to them to take it. yeah, stop that record, prove people wrong if that's the case. and yeah make that record just a little bit better. it is not easy, because you will always miss someone like gareth. johanna konta has recorded one of her best victories in a troubled season. she knocked out the seventh seed elise mertens in the opening round of the kremlin cup in moscow, winning in straight sets. it's konta's first match since she split from her coach michaeljoyce last week. she's working with dimitri zavialoff on a trial basis at this event. the double olympic skeleton champion lizzie yarnold believes the world anti—doping agency were too quick to lift the suspension of russia. wada voted to end the three—year ban last month. in my opinion it wasn't the right thing to do. we have to keep pushing the anti—doping message. i don't think it was correct to let them back without their completing all of the things they were asked to complete. it is a real changing world, but we have to keep pushing for a clean and fair competition. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. including the england rugby union squad which hasjust including the england rugby union squad which has just been announced. jonah holmes is in there. he qualifies through a welsh grandparent. i'm back in half an hour. thank you. here are some of the other stories this lunch time. more than 2,500 organised crime groups are operating across england and wales and police say children as young as 10 are at risk of being drawn into them. gangs of criminals involved in drugs and violence are often targeting vulnerable young people to carry out criminal activities. in sheffield a new team has been set up so that police can work with the council to identify children at risk. emma glasbey reports. early morning in sheffield, this police raid is targeting an organised crime group operating in the city. we're in! we are in! two raids are being carried out on houses in sheffield in the same time. at this address, two people are arrested on suspicion of drugs offences. we can't show you the faces of these officers, because of the serious police operations they are involved in. the main aim was the two arrests, which we're happy with, and we can proceed with our investigation. we have got further evidence to put to them in terms of this, which we've been able to locate at the addresses. so you suspect there are links to organised crime here? yes, there are, yeah. these people, they are linked to other people that we're looking into at the minute. police say there are currently 20 organised crime groups operating in sheffield city centre, and children as young as ten can be drawn into them. children can be easily manipulated and easily exploited. the risks can be fatal. that's the reality of this circumstance. we have seen young men predominantly in our city over the last number of years, who have been involved in this type of criminality, murdered. hanif was expelled from school at 11! and selling heroin at 15. he now runs the youth charity in2change in sheffield, and warns young people about the consequences of crime. he says he was exploited when he was a teenager, and now sees other young people at risk of following a similar path. these older guys want me on their team, you know, they're buying these things, they're making me feel good. i remember looking at my school friends — and this is ironic, too — thinking, you suckers. you're going to school. you have no idea what the world is. look at us, we're with these big guys. and it was actually the other way around. they were so focused and i was being exploited. so it is very, very scary and, like i said, we are trying to raise awareness to young people, show them that prison is not fun, it's not glamorous, it's not sensationalised, nor are the streets, and these people are actually not your friends. police say one crime group currently operating in sheffield is connected to 30 children. when you add the children they mix with, it clear to see how easily young people can be linked to these groups. that's why south yorkshire police is starting a new team, working alongside the council. they'll try to make sure children at risk are going to school. they'll work with housing to move families if needed. they want to spot warning signs before young people can be recruited into gangs. it's about us being able to work with families as well, to understand any changes in behaviour, changes in patterns, or different things like increased money or different access to phones and clothes and things. so just different behaviours that we don't understand. there are concerns that budget cuts to many services working with young people could have contributed to putting children at risk. i think most people are seeing that support for young people, whether it's for mental health, whether it's for young people excluded from school, or support in and around schools and, you know, families, that's slowly diminished over quite a long period of time now. so it's no surprise that there's more young people out there who might be vulnerable to being targeted by organised crime groups. raids like this one will continue, as south yorkshire police targets organised crime. the big challenge will be stopping these groups recruiting vulnerable young people. the young soldiers taking part in the uk's biggest military exercise since the end of the conflicts in iraq and afghanistan have told the bbc how they're learning vital skills in the omani desert.? exercise saif sareea 3 is costing the ministry of defence £100 million pounds in total. ? for many involved, like the mercian regiment‘s private adam eyre, it's their first taste of what it's like to fight on a huge scale. lee madan has been speaking to him. the fighting side to be honest, that is why ijoined the infantry. throughout his childhood, adam knew he wanted to be in the army. his mum and nan were both worried. they were definitely trying to convince me, especially not to go into the infantry. but what can i say? he is 22. hejoined the regiment a year ago. i'm driving a warrior, that is just great to do. i get powerful, because it's a very big, powerful engine and you feel it when you're driving. it's good fun. this is the driver's hutch where i drive the warrior. here is where we do most of our administration and eat and sleep. being in oman is a chance to put everything he has learned so far into practice. but being away from loved ones has been harder than he thought. i would say quite difficult actually, you do miss home, it's more surprising than you think. we have phones here, so we can still call back home. so it it's not like your cut off. who are you missing? call back home. so it it's not like your cutoff. who are you missing? a girlfriend. i have been calling here. ellis serves in the royal tank regiment and is part of a four—man crew inside one of challenger two tanks. you have your driver and gunner, operator and commander and gunner. the gunner shoots things. like all the soldier here, he is enjoying the adventure, although the hot weather and long days mean going to sleep very early. eight o'clock, driver's hours. not what most 20—year—old would be doing. driver's hours. not what most 20-year-old would be doing. they all grew up seeing reports of conflicts in iraq and afghanistan and hear war stories from older colleagues. they know they could be called to action at any time. it is an exercise that this is soldiering. rob has been out in omanfor this is soldiering. rob has been out in oman for several weeks already and won't be home until mid—november. i'm going to keep myself going with my music on my phone. and chatting with my mates. these young soldiers are determined to show the world that the british army is just as lethal and competitive as ever before. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news... the bbc learns that the government is planning to spend hundreds of millions of pounds to make changes to its flagship welfare benefit, universal credit there's to be another delay to the introduction of the government's flagship welfare reform, universal credit. a crucial cabinet meeting is taking place as theresa may tries to rally ministers at the start of a critical 48 hours in the brexit negotiations hate crimes reach a record high in england and wales, with offences against religious communities seeing a forty percent increase .in . in the business news: average wages — excluding bonuses — rose by 3.1% in the three months to august, compared with a year ago. that's the fastest pace in nearly 10 years, according to the office for national statistics. the unemployment rate held steady at ir%. car maker audi has been fined more than £700 million over diesel engines that did not meet emissions standards. audi has accepted the fine and admits responsibility. its parent company, volkswagen, has already warned the fine will hurt profits for the year ahead. scottish power will become the first major uk energy company to generate all its electricity from wind power instead of coal and gas, after selling its final gas and hydro stations to drax. we've had an update on the jobs market this morning — showing that the headline rate of unemployment remained unchanged at ir%, but the pace of wage growth has picked up. wages — not including any bonuses rose — were up by 3.1% in the three months to august compared to a year ago, that's the fastest rate in nearly 10 years. inflation — which measures rising prices — was 2.5%, so it suggests that average incomes are going up faster than prices. earlier we spoke to ruth gregory, senior uk economist, at capital economics. pay growth is now turning a corner and that is welcome news for households who have higher living costs. pay growth is still far below the rate seen before the financial crisis and only a little above the 2.596 crisis and only a little above the 2.5% rate of inflation. after the cost—of—living squeeze, that has not provided much respite for consumers, but pay grades seem to be on an up with ward trend and we would expected further rises. staying with the state of the economy, the government will have to find an extra £19 billion a year if it is to uphold theresa may's promise that "austerity is over", according to a major report. institute for fiscal studies says this means higher borrowing and higher taxes. joining us now is thomas pope, a research economist. the two statements from the government, two incompatible offers to the electorate. what is incompatible about them. to the electorate. what is incompatible about themm to the electorate. what is incompatible about them. it will be ha rd to incompatible about them. it will be hard to both balance the books and end austerity. even a minimal definition of austerity would, given the government's definition of austerity, need at least £19 billion extra to end austerity. that will be enough tojust extra to end austerity. that will be enough to just avoid cuts to unprotected departments, so areas outside health, defence and aid. if you spend an extra £19 billion, then eliminating the deficit is harder. adding an extra £20 billion would make it hard to eliminate the deficit and end austerity. so the government wants to have its cake and eat it, what has to give for this to happen? well, of course, the government could choose not to end austerity and choose to continue the spending squeeze. it could also choose to abandon its target to eliminate the deficit. the only way to reconcile the other would be to find substantial tax rises and the tax burden is already at the highest levels since the 19505. given the chancellor's slim majority in parliament it it might be difficult to push through that. the government said it wants to keep taxes low. 50 the opposite of what you're saying. yes if you want to increase spending and be on course to eliminate the deficit, then keeping taxes lois not really a n deficit, then keeping taxes lois not really an —— low is not really an option. thank you. in other business news.... the chief executives of hsbc, google and credit suisse have become the latest people to pull out of a business conference in saudi arabia next week. the respective bosses of these three firms will now not go to the event, dubbed "davos in the desert". jp morgan chief executive jamie dimon said yesterday, he would not attend. it follows tensions between the us and saudi arabia over the disapearance of a saudi journalist. paul allen, who co—founded microsoft, has died at the age of 65. he had cancer. he revealed the disease's return only two weeks ago, after previously being treated for it in 2009. in a statement, microsoft co—founder bill gates says he is "heartbroken by the passing of one of my oldest and dearest friends... personal computing would not have existed without him." tesco, sainsbury‘s and asda all saw their share of the grocery market fall in the three months to october according to the latest figures from ka ntar world panel. aldi and lidl both notched up gains. aldi rose from 6.8% to 7.6% and lidl rose from 5.2% to 5.6%. paddy power betfair has been fined £2.2m for failing to stop stolen money being gambled through its website and for failing to protect customers showing signs of problem gambling. the regulator says this is "simply not acceptable". the firm has now apologised. european stock markets mostly rose tuesday but london dropped as oil prices pulled back from a recent surge. share prices of heavyweight energy companies, including shelland bp, declined by about 1.5% as crude oil lost more than half a dollar. that's all the business news. self—harm is an issue that's normally associated with teenagers and young adults but there are concerns that it goes largely unnoticed in the over 655. that's the conclusion of new research published in the lancet this morning. the doctor behind it has told bbc news that the issue deserves more attention, as john maguire reports. for more than 20 years, jane used to hurt herself deliberately. i was raped when i was much younger and i almost learned to be a robot where emotion was concerned. i used to bruise myself, mainly on my arms, and then after a while, people started to notice that i'd got quite a lot of bruises. self—harm comes in many forms. now, both online and in person, jane helps others in a similar position through her self—help self—harm group. we've had people come to the group where they've even been to proper therapy places and they've been told, "stop doing it, it's silly." and when you're sort of in your 505 and 605, to be told you're silly, i think straightaway that makes them not want to reach out. in the first study of its kind, researchers from keele and manchester universities found that 90% of over—655 who self—harm were not referred for specialist mental health help and, crucially, warning signs are being missed. self—harm is a risk factor for suicide across the age range, but in this study, self—harm in older people was associated with 145 times increased risk of subsequent death by suicide. and that's really important because it's a reminder to clinicians, service providers, service managers, that self—harm is a real opportunity to intervene. and psychologists say one of the reasons the group is at such a high risk is their reluctance to ask for help. younger people will talk about their difficulties and their distress using very different language in a very different way than older people do. older people, we know from the research, tend to go to their gp, talking about physical health problems rather than talking about distress or depression or anxiety, and we need to enable people to have those conversations, really. the government says more can be done. jackie doyle—price, the uk's first ministerfor suicide prevention, was appointed last week with an objective to ensure every part of the country has a prevention plan, backed by £25 million of extra funding. mental health has a profile today like never before but still, there are many who suffer in silence and all to often take their own lives. john maguire, bbc news, manchester. archeologists have found what they believe are traces of a viking ship in southern norway — a rare discovery. it could give us much more information about the seafaring warriors' movements in the middle ages. the boat—like shape was found about half a meter was found about half a metre beneath a burial mound, using radar technology — excavation has been ruled out for the moment, though, because winter is coming. the vikings were known to bury their kings and chiefs aboard a boat hoisted onshore and left under a mound of earth. only three viking ships in good condition have been discovered in norway. now we are going to head to the house of commons and hear the start of that urgent question, there is a statement following on from the report about bullying and behaviour within the houses of parliament. what the house might ultimately decide, ifirmly believe what the house might ultimately decide, i firmly believe that the only possible way to resolve this matter is the establishment of a body which is both entirely independent of and external to parliament to hear and adjudicate upon all allegations of bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct, including deciding how far to investigate past misconduct. whether the allegations involve mp5, or staff, the same entirely independent body should be in complete control of the process from start to finish. asi of the process from start to finish. as i have said before, in this chamber, and to the leaders cross— party chamber, and to the leaders cross—party inquiry in my oral evidence last december, independence and transparency are the best guarantors of a process that will both be fair and command general confidence. order. urgent question, john mann. to ask the leader of the house to make a statement on the bully and harassment of staff independent inquiry report. the leader of the house. thank you mr speaker, can i thank the honourable gentleman for his urgent question. i'm genuinely pleased to have the opportunity to share some initial views with the house. i welcome dame laura cox's report and i want to thank herand laura cox's report and i want to thank her and those who have come forward to tell their story to the inquiry. we have all been shocked and appalled at the reports of bullying, harassment and sexual harassment in westminster. and i'm determined to stamp it out. the findings in this report are undeniably worrying and reflect poorly op the systems in the house of commons. in the work i have done to create and new complaints system for parliament, i have been clear that everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect. i'm so sorry to hear of the experiences highlighted by dame laura's report of members of house of commons staff and i speak to them directly when i say you deserve so much better. so it's vital that the house leadership now responds fully and promptly. in my role as leader, i have been determined to do all can ito i have been determined to do all can i to put i have been determined to do all can ito put in place the right procedures and services to begin the process of culture change through the new complaints process. but as dame laura points out and as i made clear in my statement injuly, culture change will not happen overnight. it is an ongoing process to overturn entrenched attitudes to the way things are done around here. in november last year, almost a year ago, the prime minister asked in november last year, almost a year ago, the prime ministerasked me in november last year, almost a year ago, the prime minister asked me to convene a cross—party working group, including staff members, to develop our independent complaints and grievance policy. the initial scope of the working group was not to include house staff, as it was understood that the policies in place such as the respect policy we re place such as the respect policy were sufficient and robust to deal with any complaints made by house staff. subsequent reports came to light through the media which strongly suggested however that this was not the case. as a as a result, at my instigation, the external members appointed dame laura to look at the effectiveness of the policies. her report is the result of that inquiry. to clarify, the independent complaints and grievance policy has been up and running since july and all staff have access to it, including house staff and those that historic allegations. we
