Wales, south and south west england. The winds will be strengthening, and so the winds will be strengthening, and so quite persistent rain and wet weather across Northern Ireland, western parts of scotland through receivings rush hour. Winter at such a feature here but the winds will be strengthening across north west england down into wales and north west england, particularly over the hills and along the coast, where the winds will become gusty for a time. The winds continued to strengthen across south west england, pushing across the channel coast. For a time this evening, drier, the winds starting to pick up but not as strong at first. But the wind is of some concern to us. We have an amber warning for them from the met office. Gusts across england and wales of a0 to 50 mph. Across western and channel coast, the gusts could increase to 60 mph. As this low pressure pushes eastwards a cross as this low pressure pushes eastwards across northern part of england, into north wales and the midlands, for a time overnight the gusts could touch a 75 mph, enough to bring damage to trees, branches of trees and maybe some trees down in places. There is likely to be some disruption to travel so keep an eye on the latest with bbc local radio stations. Through tomorrow morning, the area of low pressure will begin to pull away but still some strong Gale Force Winds along the east coast but they will slowly start to pull away and we are back to square one, sunshine and showers across much of the country. Some of the showers could be quite frequent, perhaps merging to give a longer speu perhaps merging to give a longer spell of rain. Still windy but the winds will have lost some of their strength. Highs of ia to 18. There is strength. Highs of 1a to 18. There is High Pressure close by but not close enough, still keeping a brisk north westerly wind across the country on thursday and once again, that will feed further showers lots going on. You can get all the information on the warnings on our website. A reminder of our main story this lunchtime a pay rise for police and prison officers in england and wales as the government begins to relax the Public Sector pay cap. That is all from the bbc news on bbc one. We nowjoin the news on bbc one. We nowjoin the news teams where you are. Hello there. I am Arlene Foster at the bbc sports centre. Orly foster. Its the start of the the Champions League group stage this evening and neymar, the worlds most expensive footballer, is in glasgow to take on scottish champions celtic, with his paris st germain teamates. He cost the french side £200 million, also in their ranks is kylian mbappe, who will eventaully cost them 166 million and with edinson cavani, its the most expensive front line ever assembled. Celtic are bracing themselves and though and away to barcelona last season, they managed two draws against manchester city. They are very clear on how we handle these types of pressure games, but this is a game to go and enjoy. There are three british teams playing tonight. Premier League Champions chelsea are also at home and face Champions League debutants qara bag from azerbaijan. Manchester united were in the Europa League last season, but won it to see them retrun to the Champions League. First up, swiss side basle at old trafford. To be back at the Champions League is just to to be back at the Champions League isjust to go to be back at the Champions League is just to go back to the natural habitat of Manchester United, season after season. Myself, i habitat of Manchester United, season afterseason. Myself, i only habitat of Manchester United, season after season. Myself, i only have played the Europa League twice, before that i was placed Champions League. First some players it is to go back, for some players it is the motivation to play Champions League for the first time. So we look forward to the match and i hope also trafford old trafford feels in the same way that we feeling. Mourinho gave an interesting interview over the weekend in which he said that Manchester United failed to evolve after sir Alex Ferguson left the club in 2013. He said it was an empty period under david moyes and louis van gaal. The man who first apppointed sir alex, and is life president at the club, agrees with the manager. I think whoever succeeded Alex Fergusson it was a hell of a job and i think david miles was a brave man to ta ke i think david miles was a brave man to take it on. And then louis came on. Unfortunately the style of football for those two years was not what Manchester United players fa ns what Manchester United players fans had been used to and they did not take it. It has taken this season to get his way, but he did exceptionally well to win two trophies last year. The Northern Ireland manager Michael Oneill has been arrested and charged in connection with drink driving. Oneill was stopped by police on the outskirts of edinburgh early on sunday morning. He is due to appear at edinburgh Sheriffs Court on october 10th thats two days after Northern Irelands final world cup qualifier against norway. Chris froome has been given one of the two british places in the time trial at the world road championships in norway.

Hell represent Great Britain alongside Steve Cummings in the time trial a week tomorrow in bergen. The championships start next sunday. After winning their test series, england meet the west indies again in a t20 international on saturday and then 50 over odi series next week. The matches mark the return to the International Game of west indies opener chris gayle the flamboyant batsman who in recent years has concentrated on playing t20 cricket for franchises around the world. Hes the greatest batsmen ever. He still clears the rope, he is a game challenger, there are definitely loads of batters when you get onto he gets the big wickets, but he will be up there. Will he remember that the muscle . Lets hope they do not get him again. Thats all sport for now. Ill have more in the next hour. Within the last hour, the government has confirmed that the 1 cap on Public Sector pay increases will be partially lifted. Prison officers will get a 1. 7 salary boost this year and Police Officers will get a 1 rise, plus a further 1 bonus. The chief secretary to the treasury, liz truss, said their decision aimed to strike a balance between solving recruitment and retention problems and being fair to the taxpayer. Weve always been very clear that we need to strike a balance between being fair to the Public Sector workers, making sure that we recruit the best possible people, and also that we hold onto them in the Public Services. And weve looked at the evidence, weve been working on this over the summer, and we feel now is the time to move to a more flexible approach, to make sure we do deal with any issues weve got in the Public Services so we can continue to have world class services. Now, this is going to cost billions. You said that it will not come with additional money, that it will come out of existing budgets. Isnt that simply going to require cuts elsewhere, putting pressure on police and crime commissioners, for example, to perhaps have to cutjobs . I think youre prejudicing the work that is going to go on. The pay review bodies are going to collect independent evidence. There are specific issues in specific workforces and what we are doing is moving away from the blanket approach so that we can look at the nhs, we can look at the schools, we can look at police forces, separately. What we are doing is were moving more money to the front line in our Public Services. We did that recently with our schools announcement, and we are making sure that we get value for money in what we are spending. But there will of course be a budget process that we go through, looking at the specific issues we face. But it is vitally important for the success of our Public Services that we paid Public Sector workers fairly and also that we retain people, that we keep them in the profession, and are able to recruit new people as well. In terms of fairness, how is it fair to pay different professions within the Public Sector at different rates . The tuc have been calling for a 5 increase across the Public Sector. How is it fair . They say you are going to just divide and conquer, that thats your strategy. We already pay very different amounts in terms of starting salaries to teachers or Police Officers or nurses, and they also have different pay progression. So, for example, teachers got a 3. 3 pay rise over the last year, through things like promotion pay. So the workforces are already very different. What we need to do is look at the specific issues in each workforce which are the people where we are really struggling to recruit, where are the areas where we can look at how we retain those long standing staff in that service. Those are the things we need to look at, and i think its much better to take a targeted, tailored approach to those particular workforces. There are fresh concerns that freshers week at universities may be targeted by casinos and betting companies, leading to potential gambling addictions. 59 of all students who took part in an online poll for the Gambling Commission said they had gambled in some form in the last four weeks. 10 of them were left in debt as a result. Hannah morrison reports on the struggles some students have faced with gambling addictions while at uni. When that First Student loan instalment drops into your bank account, the temptation can be too much. Money that should be spent on rent, food and books goes on other stuff. For matt, that money sparked an addiction that would take years to get a handle on. I was at university and i had maxed out numerous overd rafts, student loans. All the money i could get my hands on went into the machines. And one day i lost about £2,500 just on the machines. And i came very close to taking my own life at that point. I didnt really see a way out. Matt isnt alone. A poll by the Gambling Commission suggests three out of five students have gambled in the last four weeks and nearly 10 of them said they were in debt as a result. Matt got help and now supports others with similar addiction issues. Today, he is meeting a 2a year old who got into gambling at uni. He wants to stay anonymous as his employer doesnt know about his past. It went from spending a few days, you know, coming home after lectures and going onto my laptop to suddenly say no to going out with friends, maybe saying no to going to uni. Before i knew it, it was 3am in the morning and id spent the last 12 hours or something just kind of sat at my laptop. I didnt eat, i didnt drink, i didnt really function. There is a concern that some casinos are actively targeting students. If you take a quick look online its easy to find examples of them doing things like setting up stalls at fresherfairs, pushing all student poker leagues and things like offering free drinks to students who come into casinos, and student discounts, as well. This kind of marketing is actually perfectly legal, but what the antigambling groups want is for universities to clamp down on this. Depending on your course, you could have as little as six hours contact time the week. And the rest of the time youre expected to be independent and to be working a lot of the time. But with that comes, you know, isolation, maybe. Id never budgeted before and money was a whole new concept to me. The Tipping Point was, i think, when it came to the end of what was meant to be my final yearand i realised im going to get almost caught. I had nothing to show for it and im not going to graduate. I went to a ga meeting for a while and i did find some help and the help i found was knowing that im not alone. Yes. I think its really important that universities are aware of the problem within their own university, like how many of their students are addicted and aware of how big a problem it is, and what therefore needs to address it. Thousands of terminally ill children in the uk are getting poor Palliative Care, according to researchers today. Almost 50,000 children have life limiting or life threatening conditions, but many of their families struggle to get enough support to care for them at home, because the services they need arent cooperating properly. John maguire reports. Seven year old, logan, had brain damage before he was born. During his short life he spent long spells in hospital. Now, at home, the living room is the only place large enough for his bed. He requires constant care. Even a five minute chat over coffee in the kitchen is interrupted by an alarm. Ill get it. It is beeping. His parents say the staff who helped them are fantastic, but it is a constant battle to make sure logan and the family receive the support they need. We fought for a long time to get a package. It is only recently logan has been very poorly and we have managed to secure a package of care that is actually starting to make an impact in helping us as a family. Even with the care package we have got, she is still housebound, stuck indoors everyday, while i go out to work. She is stuck in all day, every day, day and night. She cannot get out because there is not the facility to go out to give him enough care to make it safe for him. Medical advances mean children that once died in infancy are living longer and with more complex needs. There are some fantastic charities, fantastic childrens hospitals providing support. But what we find too often is that the funding of those organisations is lacking. Last year we found there was a 61 cut in funding for childrens Palliative Care. That can only have one thing, a negative impact on it. A report out today by the university for policy research looks at how various aspects of death, dying, and Palliative Care are dealt with across the uk. It finds disparities in how people are looked after, and says scotland is leading the way, and other nations should follow suit. So far, the evidence shows they are running with a reforming culture. I think part of that is principally to do with actually determining what the welfare state in scotland will look like. This is about cradle to grave. We have to make sure the citizens are looked after until they die. The department of health in england says it wants all families to receive high quality and compassionate and tailored care. Both wales and Northern Ireland have recently updated their policies. Also the day, the National Institute for health and care excellence publishes its standard for end of life care for children in england and a commitment to better support families who want their children to spend their precious final days in their own home. John maguire, bbc news. The culture secretary Karen Bradley is making a statement to mps about Rupert Murdochs bid to buy the rest of sky. Fox owns 39 of sky, but wants to buy the rest, and assume total control of the broadcaster. Critics say this will give mr murdoch too much power in the uk media. This is what she said in the commons a short while ago. My concern is whether fox will be able to affect compliance in the broadcasting context. I have concerns about these matters and i am of the view that they should be considered further by the cma. Before i come to a final comes decision, im required to allow the parties to make representations on my proposed decision and this is the reason my decision at this stage remains amounted one. They have ten working days to respond. Receipt from any concerns from the parties i will address is properly from any concerns from the parties i will address is property as i can. I will address is property as i can. I will remind the house that should refer all one or both grounds, the merger will be subject to fill and detailed investigation by the cma over a period. It does not signal the outcome of the investigation. Our Media Consult correspondent is here. What does it mean. It is all about sky. The company they organ is fox, this is all about that takeover. The question the Government Faces is these should refer it to the competition s Market Authority about whether it should go ahead. Karen bradley said up should go ahead. Karen bradley said up until now, she would refer to it but only on the grounds of plurality. That means is fox going to get too big in britain, controlled too much news, too much of the advertising market, essentially will be too powerful . But she didnt originally say she was going to refer it on the second issue of standards. Today she said she has minded. In ten days time she has minded. In ten days time she will probably see definitely. She will refer it on the second round. What does it mean . She went through some of the things. For instance, will fox be able to turn sky news into what they have in america, fox news. If anyone watches, it is a different beast. There are a lot of protections in britain which do not exist in america. If you are a tv news broadcaster, of com tells you you have to have a degree of impartiality. They have got into trouble in the past, corporate governance. All sorts of issues and it can be considered by the cma. For instance, the Sexual Harassment cases against fox in america. Hacking, not fox but it was news corporation, still part of the river murdoch empire. So a lot still of questions and hurdles as to whether this takeover will go ahead. Is this a setback for a river murdoch . This takeover will go ahead. Is this a setback for a river murdoch7m this takeover will go ahead. Is this a setback for a river murdoch . It is taking a lot longer than they were expecting and they were not expecting and they were not expecting this to be taking place. The campaigners, ed miliband from the backbenchers, a3,000 people made representations to Karen Bradley about this. So there is a big campaign, the labour party were looking very pleased because they we re looking very pleased because they were opposed to this merger all along. They are certainly not saying definitely one way or another how it will turn out, but it is a lot tougher than the Murdoch Family thought it would be. Now its time for business and it is ten years since the Bank Northern rock sought support from the bank of england a move which triggered the first major run on a british bank since 1866. The bank which was based in newcastle was eventually nationalised and shareholders lost their investments. Jamie robertson is in newcastle for as now. The banks of the time here, the Iconic Images behind me, the millennium bridge and the siege centre behind me. All these things are icons of the north east, but also Northern Rock. Really was one of them. It was a name associated with this area. And ten years ago that icon began to crumble. The reason why it fell apart, not so much it was the money it was lending out, not that loans were going wrong, somewhere out, not that loans were going wrong, somewhere and there were problems there. It was a money it was pouring from the Banking System that was beginning to dry up, the liquidity was beginning to dry up. It was the beginning of the financial crisis. This was one of the first symptoms of that crisis. Then, of course, the bank of england stepped in. It stepped in and said, we will provide that money. That led onto a nationalisation when the government to cover the back. It was faced with this problem, what are we going to do with this bank on our hands . They decided to sell off bits. The best bit its all done to virgin money. The chief executive of virgin money. The chief executive of virgin money. The chief executive of virgin money and she said two as earlier about that time. What happened then and what has happened since. The thing that was really interesting to me was that| had run interesting to me was that i had run a mortgage business, it was a big one. It was clear that trust was the thing for Northern Rock going forward. People had lost faith in a number of the individuals involved, Richard Branson was someone as a consumer champion, people had faith in. We felt like the right organisation to help with this crisis. We got involved ten years ago, it Northern Rock was nationalised. We followed it through and we knew it was a great business in the heart of the north east, that is really important. And in following it through, stayed with the story until the government split the story until the government split the bank between the good bank and the bank between the good bank and the other bag. We bought the goodbye five years ago and i still have to pinch myself when i walk into this wonderful building and think it is virgin money. Interesting you notice how she said that they split up between the good bank and the other bag. Some people at the time called at the bad bank. It had to be disposed off in other ways. Interestingly, at the end of the day, now we are talking about that other bag has been sold off and assets have been distributed in other places, the government is sitting on a profit. We do not know how much that profit is, could be as much as 11 billion some people say. What will happen to that money . Some people say that money should come back somewhere or other to the north east. Shareholders who lost everything, they say that they should be seeing some of that money. Should it come back to various charities here, Northern Rock had an enormous charity, a foundation that gave two charities around you. Maybe it should come back to them in some way or other. The arguments will continue for the long time to what will happen to the profits from Northern Rock. Jamie, thank you. The Prime Minister theresa may has phoned us President Donald Trump over a threat to jobs at bombardier in belfast from a trade dispute. In 2016, Canadian Firm bombardier won an order to supply up to 125 planes to us airline delta. The wings for the planes are made at bombardiers belfast plant. However, rival Aircraft Firm boeing has complained to the us authorities that the deal was unfairly subsidised by the canadian state. We can speak to our reporter michael cairns, whos outside the bombardierfactory in belfast. Those jobs are very important in Northern Ireland . Those jobs are very important in Northern Ireland . Bombardier is the single biggest manufacturing employer in Northern Ireland, employing a000 people. Spends millions on research and development and is Northern Irelands biggest exporter. If this trade dispute goes against bombardier, if it gets hit with punitive tariffs, it will be difficult for bombardier to sell the plane into america. It could lead to the closure of this planet if things go bad enough. Thank you. Lets have a look at the weather now. Some turbulent weather to come in the next 2a hours. Some showers around and changes out of the west. This bank of cloud is the first named storm for the autumn season. Some persistent rain arrives from the west and it is notjust the rain, it is the strength of the wind, gusts of a0 50 mph. And for a time overnight, parts of Northern England and the midlands, we can see gusts in excess of 75 mph, that could bring some damage to trees and disruption to travel. Keep an eye on the latest with your bbc local radio station. This storm also be slowly ease throughout the day, there will be dealforce ease throughout the day, there will be deal force winds across the east. Then it is a day of sunshine and showers. Still quite windy but the winds will have lost the strength overnight. A cool feeling date with ties between 1a 18dc. Goodbye. This is bbc news. Im jane hill. The headlines at two. A pay rise for police and prison officers in england and wales but unions demand the freeze ends for all Public Sector workers so we have always been very clear that we need to strike a balance between being fair to Public Sector workers, making sure we recruit the best possible people and also that we hold on to them. The government is making a big mistake in thinking it can get away withjust lifting the cap, people have been waiting seven long years.
