Hello everyone this is afternoon live. Im simon mccoy. The Prime Minister is to update mps this afternoon on progress in brexit negotiations, after her meeting with eu leaders at dinner in brussels last week. But a separate meeting with the president of the European Commission is now the subject of a leaked account in a german newspaper, which claims that theresa may begged Jean Claude Juncker for help, and appeared anxious and tormented. It follows a call from the uks biggest business lobby groups for an urgent brexit transition deal to safeguard jobs and investment. Heres our Political Correspondent alex forsyth. Prime minister, what are you putting on the table . This time last week, the Prime Minister left downing street for brussels. Her aim, to try to unblock brexit talks over dinner with senior figures from the eu. The meal in the belgian capital was officially called constructive. Then, this emerged. An account in a german newspaper, which said that mrs may, under political pressure at home, had pleaded for help from the eu. The president of the European Commission reportedly said that shed looked nervous and disheartened. Jean Claude Juncker, according to the newspaper, said the Prime Minister seemed like she had not slept for days. This morning, his senior aide rejected the reports. He claimed it was an attempt to frame the eu side and undermine talks. And at a press briefing in brussels, a Commission Spokesman said this. We have a lot of work. And no time for gossip. I have to be very clear that president juncker would never have used the words attributed to him and never would have said anything like this. We have never been punitive on brexit. We have said at all levels, on many occasions, that we were working for a fair deal. Theresa may will update mps on the brexit talks here this afternoon. Officially, number ten does not comment on leaks, but cabinet members today have said that they are fully behind the Prime Minister with one saying that she is fighting to negotiate the best deal, and the government insists that tangible progress has been made. Nonetheless, five prominent business groups have drafted a letter to the brexit secretary, warning of the dangers of prolonged uncertainty. The impact on jobs and investment is the same across the European Union. One of the big messages from firms is get on with it, on both sides, find a way to get an agreement by the end of transition so that we can have the all important proper trade talks about the final deal on the first half of next year. That is a sentiment echoed by the foreign secretary, who said that he welcomed positive vibes from eu leaders after the talks last week in brussels. They have given a fair wind to the idea of themselves now discussing the new trade deal, however they want to proceed. I suggest, humbly, to ourfriends and partners in brussels, now is the time to get on with it. When these leaders meet again in december they will decide whether to start discussing future relations between the uk and the eu. No doubt, between now and then they will hope that conversations remain private. Well, our europe correspondent Damian Grammaticas is in brussels. What is it with all these so called private meetings that suddenly everything seems to be leaked . Simon, i think to understand it if you get your head around the way these things work, so here you have these things work, so here you have the commission carrying out the negotiations on the half of the 27 other countries of the eu, you had that dinner, theresa may came through that get behind me about a week ago to have that then withjohn claudejuncker. Week ago to have that then withjohn Claude Juncker. The week ago to have that then withjohn claudejuncker. The account of that dinner will be briefed to diplomats, officials, not just in dinner will be briefed to diplomats, officials, notjust in this building but also from those 27 other countries, they all have an issue the macro interest in what was said at that meeting. There are many possibilities from where this leak could have come from. It seems in this case different to the one in the summer earlier, which looked like it came from a direct participant in the meeting at downing street then. This case does seem to be slightly more one removed, it is talking about reports of what mrjuncker had said. When you consider it is 27 countries, a lot of people who might now and then talk to a german paper, i think that is why what we saw here today was a strong sort of denial and a strong condemnation, as alex said in her report, downing street doesnt normally comment on leaks. Here they dont usually, but today they did. To say that they thought this was very unhelpful, they denied mr juncker would have said it, and said that people who wanted to undermine the eus negotiating position would seize on this, and i think that is their concern, with erdogan to happen. I dont know what the french oi happen. I dont know what the french or german is for not me, guv. There seems to be a difficulty with this because it is obviously mischievous. Im not sure, i think it is clearly people interested in what would have happened at that dinner, and then gossiping about it or informing journalists, contacts, of what may have taken place will stop everyone would want to know. And report it. The serious point in a way if you like from the eus perspective here is that the way they see it, and i think the reason they have responded today, is that the talks are in a very sensitive point, that is why they are sensitive about this leak, because they believe, or they see, if you weeks till december talks that are deadlocked in their on this exit deal, and a need to move things forward pretty quickly. And from their point of view, here, the issue is that the uk side hasnt grasped fully the need to sit down and address the financial settlement and put on the table what the uk is actually prepared to commit to under that, and without that, the talks cannot move forward to discussing a transition. Just on that camier borisjohnson transition. Just on that camier Boris Johnson and the transition. Just on that camier borisjohnson and the others talking about the need to get on with trade talks. That will not happen as part of this process, this process has to be completed first, agreeing the exit, and they are well aware here of the time pressures to do that. Only later on cannabis thing we want to those bigger issues that lie ahead. Damien comolli in brussels, the westminster, Eleanor Garnier is there. So how is this all going to play there . The Prime Minister updating mps on 3 30pm, there is a lot of pressure on her. There is, it isa lot of pressure on her. There is, it is a usual thing for the Prime Minister to return from the summit and give mps an update in the house of commons as to how things went in brussels, and i think we should expect a pretty upbeat account, although of course we know that eu leaders have agreed to start talks amongst themselves about future trade and a possible transition deal, but they decided that sufficient progress hadnt been made to move on to formal negotiations directly with the uk on those issues. So eu citizenss rights, that issue of the bill, how much the uk might pay on leaving the eu, those things still need more progress before the uk will enter formal negotiations on trade and on transition. Yes, theresa may is under pressure, not just from brussels and the negotiations there, but of course she has tory backbenchers here who are making life not that easy for her. So all eyes will now be on december, that is the next eu summit when both sides of the uk and the eu want significant progress to be made. And not just politicians on significant progress to be made. And notjust politicians on her back, she has business on her back in a letter this morning. Thats right, five big business lobbying groups if you like have written a lethargy to be sent to the brexit secretary david davis in the next couple of days, and they are calling for an urgent transition deal to be put in place. They are calling for certainty, and saying unless that happens the uk risks losing jobs and investment. I am joined happens the uk risks losing jobs and investment. Iamjoined now happens the uk risks losing jobs and investment. I am joined now by a conservative mp chris phelps, also an aide to treasury ministers. Why dont you just give businesses the certainty they want, make a unilateral decision and say we are going to go onto trade gunn World Trade Organisation rules. Businesses asking for a transition deal, and the governments policy has been securing that transition deal exactly. In the florence speech the Prime Minister said again a transition deal for two years is exactly what the government is asking for. What the cbi requesting is government policy but of course it takes two to tango and winnie the European Commission, the European Union, to agree to that. It was disappointing they didnt agree to that in the round next week i hope they will next december because of course we have made huge progress on the so called divorce bill talks. We have been going through it, line by line, we have been clear nobody will lose out as a result of us leaving, we have been clear that during that transition period budget contributions the table. We will settle abel, so there is no reason at all why the European Commission and the European Union cant agree to that transition deal which will help their businesses and ours, and it is what the uk government is seeking. This is exactly what theresa may has been calling for to some extent, around a two year transition deal. Obviously the cbi and others want it to be as close as possible to the existing trading arrangements, but if the government accepts this is what we want, do you then except that the urgency that businesses are talking about and the fa ct businesses are talking about and the fact that it might be getting too late for them . Angela merkel said herself there will be a deal so i dont think anyone needs to panic. If Angela Merkel says she wants a deal i am pretty sure a deal will happen, and lets not forget, it serves the interest of the europeans as much as us to make sure our exit happens in an orderly fashion. We are after all the largest export market for german cars, 800,000 cars a year, the second largest exporter french wine. So it is in everyones interest to make this happen, i think the delay is in the european i hopein think the delay is in the european i hope in december they behave reasonably and movies talks forward. In the background we have to prepare for a no deal scenario, actively, and we are doing that but it is not the outcome that we want all the European Union want either. Brexit once again is the word on everyones lips around here and we will wait to hear from the Prime Minister in around 1. 5 hours time. Owners of some older cars will have to pay almost twice as much to drive into Central London from today, following a new charge aimed at reducing pollution. The toxicity charge, or t charge, will apply mainly to diesel and petrol vehicles registered before 2006. Their drivers will now have to pay £21. 50 to drive in. Our transport correspondent Richard Westcott reports. Londons streets are among the most polluted on earth. Swimming in toxic nitrogen dioxide, and tiny particles in visible unless you use a special camera. So now driving a dirty vehicle into the heart of the city during the week will cost you more. I want to see the quality of air in london improve now, not someday in the future, ten or 15 years time. So what i am in favour of is changing peoples behaviour, moving to either public transport, walking more, or cleaner cars and vans. From today, anyone crossing this line in an older vehicle will have to pay an extra £10 for the privilege and it looks like it is already affecting peoples behaviour. So when they first talked about this scheme back in february, they said around 10,000 vehicles a day would have to pay to stop a few months later they are now just talking about 6500 vehicles, so it suggests that people are changing their cars and vans. It will affect many vehicles registered before 2006, so as well as that additional £10, they will pay £1150 congestion charge, so that is £2150 in total. Campaigners say it will save lives, but not everyones happy. Campaigners say it will save lives, but not everyones happylj campaigners say it will save lives, but not everyones happy. I think is a bit much. I understand why they are doing it for the pollution, you know the amount of people going into london, but i am thinking the smaller the medium size businesses that have their fans, i think they will need to buy new bands. That have their fans, i think they will need to buy new bandsm that have their fans, i think they will need to buy new bands. It will put a lot of poor people, ok, people that cant afford it in the first place. What are they going to do . It is pretty difficult. If you run an old business and can only afford an old business and can only afford an old firm will be hammered for it. Old business and can only afford an old firm will be hammered for it major study last week suggested dirty air contributed to about 50,000 deaths in the uk in 2015, giving it one of the worst records in europe. It is notjust a london problem, many towns and cities break eu pollution limits. I think this is one of a raft of measures that has to happen, particularly we would like the government to launch a new clea n like the government to launch a new clean air act, which will bring together a whole load of different policies that allow us to tackle this from lots of different angles. As in the uk feel that something very strongly the government should commit to put many people across britain are looking into cutting pollution, they will announce plans next year. In glasgow, there is talk ofa similarlow next year. In glasgow, there is talk of a similar low emission zone that is not clear whether drivers there would have paper stop meanwhile, the london zone is being extended in a few years would have to paper stop with even tougher rules on who has to pay to come in. Ben ando is in a petrol station in Central London, motorists sometimes feel they are a soft target and this is another example of it. Yes, thats right, in fact a lot of the motorist we have spoken to didnt even know this was happening until they heard it on the radio this morning. But what i have been surprised to find out is just how many accept that something needs to be done about the bad air in london. Many of them say they do understand the idea behind this. They do accept, especially after the summer we had when there were some real stinking days, they do accept that something needs to be done to improve air quality. One thing they are not so happy about is the way that a few years ago they were being told diesel cars were the way to go. Now that advice has changed, the reason for that is that diesel cars have less of the carbon footprint, but when it comes to the particulates and the gases that are bad for your health, like nitrogen dioxide, then it is diesel cars that are the worst, and older cars that are the worst, and older cars that are worst as well. They are worried about smaller businesses and they are worried this might impact disproportionately on poorer people who are less able to update their ca rs who are less able to update their cars to newer models. John daly is a conservative spokesman on the environment at the london assembly. Picking up on benn s last point, it seems to pick up on those who can least afford it. Everyone wants the air in london cleaned up at the mayor s own study showed it would only make a want 3 difference in the air quality in london but what it will do is greatly impact though Small Businesses that provide essential implement. For other people who are poorer they drive their car out of necessity, how they facilitate family life, and it feels like an attack on their day to day goings on. Attack on their day to day goingson. So you think they should be widened to every motorist or what . It is already widened to every motorist, the only weak and protect yourself is if you are very fortu nate yourself is if you are very fortunate enough to have the funds to buy a new car. Unfortunately, the mayor has missed some of the real low hanging fruit could have employed, focusing more time on the buses. They are the biggest single polluter in London Colney could make more of the fleet hybrid or electric. But that is already happening. He isnt doing it to the level he could be. What is very important about the buses, it would also spread the effect beyond Central London, because this bill will be borne by everybody that only Central London will benefit. It also ru ns Central London will benefit. It also runs the risk of it causing more pollution because people who pay that much to get inside the zone will then maximise the amount of driving they do to get their moneys worth. Overcome on you are saying because you paid a bit more to drive into london you will spend more time driving around and enjoying it . Come on. You will stuck it out and do it in one big hit, this is not my imagine tah imagination, ask people who live on the marylebone road. This move would be fine if it was going to have an effect. By the mayors own study will have a negligible effect, those are the words used by the mayors study. But one to 3 improvement is still a step in the right direction. One to 3 improvement is still a step in the right directionm one to 3 improvement is still a step in the right direction. It is not, because the money could have been spelt elsewhere to make a file per year impact. The mayor is also talking about bringing in a confusing system, you will get a discount if you are a resident, you may not get a discount for that. There has been no modelling done about the impact that will have on pollution, dickie lilly for all the schools on the north and south circular. We need a far more focused plan, one that will deliver now and in the future. This is the telegraphing of virtue, it will provide no hope the londoners and again it will punish some of the most vulnerable londoners because their employment is based on the Small Businesses. If those businesses go, they will be responsible for moving them on, with this massive impact on the running cost. Its not right. You are asthmatic, is that right . Absolutely. So you will know about the problems, so there is no magic bullet, everybody accepts that, but how do you see in the next ten years london getting cleaner air . The diesel band that the government has announced is the biggest part of peoples change in behaviour because they have been signalled that your diesel car would be worth as much money so people through their natural cycle will replace them earlier than they would do. But the real thing the mayor could do is concentrate on our electric charging infrastructure, because it means londoners who can bear the cost would consider buying an electric car but by another weapon because there is nowhere to charge them. Even the fact, which is good news by the mayor, to make cabs go electric, where are we going to charge all these camps . Charging points he is discussing now are slow charges, ca bs discussing now are slow charges, cabs will need far faster charges. We need to future proof. We really wa nt we need to future proof. We really want the mayor to improve air quality in london but this will not do it. He should do something else. Shaun bailey, thank you forjoining us. The trial of an Army Sergeant accused of sabotaging his wifes parachute in order to try to kill her, has been hearing the details of Text Messages between him and his lover. Emile cilliers denies the charges. Duncan kennedy is at Winchester Crown court Emile Cilliers sat and listened as a Police Officer read out the text. They were playing the part of Emile Cilliers and his wife victoria as well as his lover. The prosecution claimed that Emile Cilliers wanted victoria cilliers to die so that he could set up a new life with stephanie. And that he had sabotaged the parachute at an airbase in wiltshire. Victoria cilliers suffered serious injuries when her main and reserve parachutes failed to open. Today in court, intimate Text Messages between mr cilliers and Stefanie Goller were read out. Other intimate texts between Emile Cilliers and his wife victoria were also read out, showing that victoria loved her husband. They made detailed reference to their financial affairs, including debts run up by mr cilliers. The prosecution claimed Emile Cilliers severed ties in victorias parachute so that he could pay off his debts and get an insurance pay out. He also wanted to set up a new life with Stefanie Goller. Emile cilliers denies two counts of attempted murder. Corals, clams and baby cod could all be affected by Carbon Dioxide emissions, which are making the oceans more acidic thats the finding of a major new report. The eight year study from more than 250 scientists has found that while theres likely to be an impact on all sea life, infant Sea Creatures could be particularly vulnerable. Heres our environment analyst, roger harrabin. Heres the effect of Carbon Dioxide on sea water. These bubbles contain natural co2 from an underwater volcano in papua new guinea. Few Sea Creatures can live here because the co2 has made nearby water more acidic. Swim away from those vents, and what a difference. The seas chemistry returns to normal. And wonderful reef life can thrive. But Industrial Society is churning out co2 on a massive scale and the gas is being absorbed into sea water around the world. Making it all more acidic. Todays report warns of major impacts on sea life. This comprehensive Study Confirms what weve been observing globally, Ocean Acidification is a problem, acidity is increasing and thats not just having an impact on the ecology, which we are seeing already, but it will have an impact on us as humans further down the line. Take one fish we love to eat, cod. The Research Shows that baby cod are especially sensitive to more acidic water. It projects that if co2 levels rise unchecked, we should expect only a quarter as many cod in the seas. Some species will thrive with the changes to come. The co2 will fertilise seaweed for instance but scientists have been researching the tiny creatures that build reefs like this coral nursery i dived to in the red sea. They say coral organisms cannot stand extra acidity and they warn that unless we cut co2 emissions radically many reefs wont survive more than a few decades and this will have consequences for people. Modern life will be disrupted, and that will hit the fishing communities, who are living on the front line, who have emitted the least Carbon Emissions but because of the cruel irony of Climate Change would be hit first and worst. Its notjust poor people who will be affected by Ocean Acidification; scientists warn unless we radically cut co2 emissions the entire ocean food web will be disrupted, and that, in some way, will touch all of our lives. Roger harrabin, bbc news. The Financial Conduct Authority has just released a review under the bank of scotlands alleged misconduct. We have talked about this many times, this is actually the report into what happened. Thats right. Akin to 2013, there was a report by lawrence tomlinson, the governments then entrepreneur in residence, accusing gigo baddeley mistreating Small Business customers. There were lots of accusations within that. Vince cable, business secretary at the time, suggested the regulator should look into it, and they commissioned what is called a skilled persons report, where they send away to firms of evil who are supposed to know that this sort of thing, to do a report, check out the allegations, work out if they are true. This summaryjust work out if they are true. This summary just published today work out if they are true. This summaryjust published today shows repeated failures in inappropriate treatment of Small Business customers, including failures to explain why they were going into the Global Restructuring group, which was supposed to be there to help them turn their fortunes round, but in fact was also motivated by making profits for the bank. So a failure to explain wider the river, a failure to support businesses in a manner with good turnaround practices, anju focus on price increases, and without you consideration to the longer term viability of customers. It is a turnaround report saying that they werent paying attention to keeping these firms going in the long term, they were focused on their fees. That was the claim from the businesses themselves that the bank was supposed to be helping them but they suddenly want to close them down. That has been the claim, specifically what this was looking into is whether it was systematic and widespread. They have identified failures like this, inadequate treatment, this treatment, failure to explain, failure to handle conflict of interest. So the failure to handle all that feeds into the Small Businesses customers to spare suspicions that they were mistreated by this division of the bank was that some of the accusations were not upheld, for example they were accused of deliberately down badly in the assets of Small Business customers in order to put them into trouble. This report doesnt support that, but it also leaves out interesting things that were in the full report as we now as it was presented to the fca. Those things specifically focus on how widespread this was, how systematic, and whether the management knew. So how much trouble is obvious in . Whether the management knew. So how much trouble is obvious mm whether the management knew. So how much trouble is obvious in . It is already in trouble over geology. Rbs apologised over grg. Rbs apologised over grg. Rbs apologised but there was no recognition this was widespread and systematic. They offered to repay some people some of their fees, but all the other losses, a lot of these businesses say they have been ruined, would not become persuaded for. They are in trouble but until we know the full truth, which is not all in this summary, we wont know how much trouble. Thank you for stuck police in warwickshire are continuing to question a man over a hostage situation in nuneaton yesterday. Police say the incident was not terror related was stop a 23 year old woman has been charged with the murder of a toddler who fell from a block of flats. Gemma proctor, 23, will appear before magistrates in bradford. You are watching afternoon live. We keep an eye on what is happening in the twittersphere, it is out of this world right now because they are looking at what is happening in the International Space station. This is a tweet from the space station, happening now, as you can see. They are photographing a full orbit of earth, and asking people back on earth, and asking people back on earth to tweet pictures of what they we re earth to tweet pictures of what they were doing at the exact moment the International Space station came over. That is the picture as the International Space station goes over australia. Just keeping an eye on what is happening in the twittersphere, and it is all out of this world. Keep them coming, or the ways of contacting us are here on the screen. We will keep an eye on those as well. Now, lets keep an eye on the weather. Ben, probably one of the most dull pictures i have seen for a while. Pretty dull weather really. Thats it. Thats it, im off it is pretty cloudy out there. Whether you are looking at a nice road like this, or a more pleasa nt nice road like this, or a more pleasant scene, i will have some pleasa nt pleasant scene, i will have some pleasant for you later. It is your first time on this programme, isnt it . Sorry, it is a baptism of fire you will ask me back, wont you . We have south westerly winds, very cloudy, moist, damp weatheraround have south westerly winds, very cloudy, moist, damp weather around a lot of the time, what would also happen is some pretty mild weather. We are getting deep into autumn now, but we could see the matches up to 18,19, but we could see the matches up to 18, 19, 20 degrees. I came up from devon this morning and it was wet and windy and grim. Absolutely, we have a wriggling weather front, and it is that that will bring the outbreaks of rain at times but it is to the south of this front that we see the warmer air. 13 in the north, never as one here, 18 down to the south. That is assuming we keep a lot of clout. If the sun comes out, the cloud eventually breaks up, we could get 20 degrees, not bad for the end of october, is it . It is great, and we will hold you to it. The question is how long will it last. I will give you the answer in a couple of minutes time, not very long though, not to spoil the story too much. South westerly winds pumping this mild air across the country, that is what is bringing all of the cloud simon has been enjoying, some outbreaks of rain as well. There are some brighter skies to be had, western scotland, some spells of sunshine here and slightly brighter conditions will spread a bit further eastwards through the rest of the day. Rain migrating eastwards, something brighter before sundown and then dry weather with clear spells for the evening. Overnight, though, we will start to see more cloud creeping in from the south west. Look at the temperature in the south west, 15 degrees is the minimum. That is how mild the areas. A lot of cloud along the south west, misty, murky conditions with some hill fog and patchy drizzle. Heavy rainfor hill fog and patchy drizzle. Heavy rain for the likes of birmingham, wrexham, manchester, as we go on through the first part of the morning, a bit of rain for Northern Ireland, the butchers wallop into double digits even at eight oclock in the morning. Some rain across scotland, where we will start the day on a windy note as well. As we go on through the day, the south westerly wind will continue to push the outbreaks of brain eastwards. For many. Then things will perk up a bit as we get into the afternoon. We will be left with is trailing whether front foot Northern England and wales trailing weather front. On wednesday, we expected to sit across the south with a lot of cloud but equally that is where will see the warmest of the weather. It will be brighter in the north but not as warm. By thursday, the front has wriggled further northwards, not much rain on it by the stage, 17 if you stick with a cloud in the south, if you get some sunshine, remember it could get up as high as 20 degrees. How long will it last . As we head into the weekend, we will lose that wriggling weather front, it dives away to the south. Look at the white lines, the isobars, they goes right up to the north west, allowing us to bring in some pretty chilly conditions, some cold north westerly winds, so as we go into the week and one thing we can safely sure is that it is going to quite a lot cooler. Temperatures on the way up through the next few days, but what goes up must come down by the weekend. This is bbc news our latest headlines.

The Sports Correspondent David Ornstein is beside us. Dire times for everton. What has the club said . What we are dealing with is the dreaded vote of confidence. A fortnight ago the everton hierarchy gave their support to Ronald Koeman and as recently as this morning we were told it was business as usual, he was leading training, preparing fora business as usual, he was leading training, preparing for a match at chelsea on wednesday in the league cup and then this statement came. It says Everton Football Club can confirm Ronald Koeman has left. The chairman bill kenwright, board of directors and a Majority Shareholder would like to express their gratitude to ronald for the service he has given over the past 16 months and for guiding the club to seventh in last seasons campaign. No mention of this seasons form. What a massive job mention of this seasons form. What a massivejob now looking mention of this seasons form. What a massive job now looking for a new manager. Players playing out of position. Anybody in the running . Everton a re position. Anybody in the running . Everton are 18th, in the relegation zone on goal difference and have won just two of their League Matches and none of their last five in all competitions and they have not won a league game since the 23rd of september and they sit bottom of the Europa League group. The main name in the frame is sean dyche, the burnley manager, but with Leicester City having a vacancy, they have been linked with him. A big task for whoever comes to everton, a club who spent in excess of 100 million on tra nsfers, spent in excess of 100 million on transfers, but find themselves struggling to maintain premier league status. The next three matches are away from home and not win on the road as yet so it could get worse before it gets better.

This antibiotic would kill or treat an infection caused by this strain. If there is no zone at all we would say the bacterium is resistant and this drug would not be an effective treatment. If we go back to 2005 7, we were seeing these bacteria in two to four cases per year. Last year we confirmed these resistant bacteria in over 2000 cases. If antibiotics fail then minor infections could become deadly and surgery, chemotherapy and caesareans too risky to perform. Drug resistant infections are a growing problem. 5000 people were killed by such infections last year, if you take e coli in the bloodstream, now four in ten cases cant be treated with the most common antibiotics. Antibiotics, were wonderful pills but dont ever think well cure all of your ills. Using too many antibiotics increases Drug Resistance and this tv campaign is being launched to tell people they not be given a pill every time they are ill. The majority of us will get infections from time to time and will recover because of our own immunity. The fact is that if you take an antibiotic when you dont need it, you are more likely to have an infection that the antibiotics then dont work for over the coming months. Antibiotics are vital in cases like sepsis, pneumonia and bacterial meningitis. But Health Officials said we all have a part to play in preventing the rise of resistance and that for many infections, rest, liquids and paracetamol will do the job. James gallagher, bbc news. Im joined now by with drjenny harries whos a regional director for Public Health england. That video put a smile on your face. It isa that video put a smile on your face. It is a different approach when we talk about something as serious as this. It is serious and the jingle should not detract from the importance of antibiotics resistance awareness but we need the public to be with us. It is an important matter for all be with us. It is an important matterfor all and our be with us. It is an important matter for all and our Campaign Today which is about keeping antibiotics working is to highlight that you do not need them for every infection. If it is viral, they will do no good and it can worsen your chances of good recovery in future. We have heard this before but there is added urgency. The e. Coli bloodstream infections, four out of ten can be treated. Serious things are bloodstream infection, only four in ten are now not susceptible to the most commonly used antibiotic in hospitals and that has moved. And that only goes one way. It will not get better. Yes and when you translate it through to normal things that people take for granted. Every time somebody has a hip operation, and appendix out, ca esa rea n operation, and appendix out, caesarean section, we ward off infection by treating a patient to mac with antibiotics to cover those interventions. Even things like chemotherapy for cancer patients, so important we keep them working. If you take of antibiotics when you do not need to, you increase the likelihood of harmful bugs in your body becoming resistant and when you have an infection later, it is likely to be more severe or last longer and the risk is three times longer and the risk is three times longer in adults but for children, it can be 12, longer in adults but for children, it can be12, 13 longer in adults but for children, it can be 12, 13 times and so pa rents it can be 12, 13 times and so parents worried about children feeling unwell when they take them to the gp practice immediately, it needs to think through the immediate concerns and long term well being. The message to go home and rest, is that simplistic . It is not quite what the messages. We are trying to say consult your health care professional, and there are serious infections that need antibiotics, such as pneumonia, sepsis, meningitis, and patients need to get those. For people who have common colds, upper respiratory tract infections, those sorts of things are probably viral in nature. The antibiotics will do no good to diminish symptoms or illness. They will put them at greater risk of having a resistant infection in future. A lot of things patients can do, yes, going home. When you have an infection, you use more energy, so resting, taking a lot of fluid and using paracetamol if you have a troublesome temperature. And come back and see your doctor if you think it is not going away all your signs change. Thank you. An undercover fbi agent has given a rare tv interview, telling how he infiltrated a radical islamist group, and helped foil an alqaeda plot to bomb the railway line between new york and toronto. The mans real identity has been disguised he wore prosthetics and make up for the interview. Our security correspondent Frank Gardner reports. The longer its on, the more it becomes part of me. This man, not his real name, not his realface. As an active undercover fbi agent. This man has been given prosthetic make up to hide his identity before giving his first tv interview about why he risked his life to expose terrorist plots. Putting your arm around the bad guy and telling him youre his best friend. Getting him to commit and tell you all his secrets and all the evil inside him. And locking him up that way was much more challenging and intriguing to me, and ifound that was my niche. It was the 9 11 attacks in 2001 that prompted him to offer his services to the fbi. A us muslim with egyptian parents, his fluent arabic later became invaluable. Using his cover name, he helped convict this man and his accomplice for plotting to bomb the toronto new york railway four years ago. I put on his clothes, his watch, his shoes, i drive his car, his wallet is in my pocket, his phone is on me. And i drive to the beach and i sit at the beach and i talk to myself out loud, like a crazy person, reciting everything there is to know about this man, his company, his family, his legend, over and over. And with a special adhesive. He was adamant hes not giving away any secrets. But his interview and his book give an insight into a double life most of us could never imagine possible. Frank gardner, bbc news. We spoke to him down the phone line so that interview was done by cbs some ago as unknown location and we interviewed him last week. I can only talk about what he sounded like, which was a normal person doing an incredibly abnormaljob. He started out as undercover narcotics agent working for the newjersey police and infiltrated various drugs rings and after september the 11th, he had an epiphany and he realised that his arabic would make him a useful asset to the fbi. He went to them and said he is offering his services and they were so frazzled by what had happened, nobody took him up on the offerfor by what had happened, nobody took him up on the offer for several yea rs. Him up on the offer for several years. They ignored him, which is mad, and eventually he was meeting another undercover agent, who was sharp enough to recruit him, and he was inserted into this alqaeda linked cell and was instrumental in stopping a plot to blow up the railway line between toronto and new york. What went through my head, does he have family . We do not know. He has parents, they are egyptian. His father moved the family from egypt to the united states. He is a very patriotically maracana and said several times he is a us muslim, proud to be american and proud to be muslim. He is very patriotically american. I said what about such things as some people would say you are being a traitor to your religion . He would say if people are saying about, radicals if they are radicals from isis, i am proud to wear that badge. This plot linked to wear that badge. This plot linked to afghanistan and the middle east. He spent months in full trading and winning the trust of people planning to carry out an atrocity, blowing up a passenger train between toronto and new york. This came to court and it is public record. He got close to somebody a tunisian and somebody else and they are both serving life sentences in prison. It was a joint operation between the americans and Royal Canadian mounted police. I asked him, if you had not gone in as an undercover agent, do you think the plot would have been stopped . He said probably not. He saved a lot of lives. Thank you. Earlier we heard about a study that said all see life around the world will be affected as water becomes more acidic. Well our science editor David Shukman has been speaking to the broadcaster sir David Attenborough about his concerns about changes to the oceans. The mother walrus still needs to find a place where her young can rest. There was a very moving scene in episode one of a walrus mother trying to get her calf onto a piece of ice and there wasnt much left because its all melting. Whats your sense about the scale and rate of change in, for example, the arctic. I think that any sceptics that were i think that any sceptics that there were ten years ago or 20 years ago about Global Warming and so on and about Climate Change and there were lots, must surely be diminishing almost to vanishing point, when you see the evidence that we collected scientists around the world have collected of whats happening to our seas. And the fact that were responsible for that. Now youve talked about the fragility of the ocean and i know in one of the episodes you explore some of the threats that they face. What for you is, if you like, the most compelling argument that they are under threat . I suppose areas of bleached coral, in the last programme in which we deal with the problems facing the oceans, there are shots of big areas of coral reef that are white, bleached, crumbling deserts. And if youve ever seen a coral reef and you think what that once was, thats enough to make you weep. What is it that motivates you to remain engaged at this active pace, if i may say, at your age . But its so wonderful, so astonishing, what more do you want out of life . This amazing panoply of astonishment and beauty and intricacy and wonder and areas that we dont know about. Discovery in the Natural World is just never world is just never ending and a never ending delight. And david, youre obviously renowned for engaging younger audiences the Natural World. What do you think about this series will most captivate younger people, what is it that you are hoping they will engage with . I suppose the complexity and the beauty of the underwater world and of the characters, the little things, the extraordinary behaviours of all these creatures doing so, and they are all so beautiful and extraordinary and so unlike anything that we encounter on our dry land. The world of the underwater is just amazing. And sir David Attenboroughs new series, blue planet two, begins on sunday at 8pm on bbc one seven yea rs seven years on householders. But first the headlines. Boris johnson has urged the eu to think creatively to strike a deal on brexit as business lobby groups call for a transition deal the cost of driving older, dirtier cars in Central London goes up by ten pounds in order to combat air pollution. A new report finds coral, clams and baby cod could all be affected by Carbon Dioxide emissions, which are making the oceans more acidic. Hello. The headlines. Business groups representing millions of workers are warning jobs are at risk if there isnt a quick brexit transition deal. Five of the biggest groups in britain have put names to a letter to brexit secretary david davis saying time is running out. Drivers of older, more polluting vehicles are now facing an extra charge to drive into Central London. The £10 t charge mainly applies to diesel and petrol vehicles registered before 2006 and covers the same area as the existing congestion charge. The Financial Conduct Authority says complaints about payment protection insurance are continuing to rise. They went up by almost a quarter in the first half of the year, tojust over a million. Consumers have until august 2019 to apply for compensation. Some Surprising Research suggesting householders are more relaxed about their finances than for a while. |j did a double take when i saw that when i was reading it. The Research Company markit say that households are company markit say that households a re less company markit say that households are less pessimistic than they were in tune and more optimistic about the state of the general economy. We we re the state of the general economy. We were talking last week. We have Interest Rates likely to creep up, inflation at a five year high at about 3 , and wages not keeping up with that at 2. 1 . Really surprising findings. Only because we sit here being miserable telling bad news. What this suggests perhaps is there is better news out there and real incomes might be a slide that people do not care. We are two grumpy old men, it is true. Thank you what is happening is that the gap between income and inflation, that might be filled by people taking out more but buying more on credit cards and unsecured debt, which has got the bank of england worried. They will be clamping down on unsecured debt so they do not get into a deeper debt crisis. Chris williamson is the chief economist with markit. Some of the optimism is reflecting savers who are aware that Interest Rates hopefully for the first time in a decade will start rising, so savings will earn more interest, but the main thing to note about this is that it main thing to note about this is thatitis main thing to note about this is that it is an easing of pessimism, rather than improved optimism about the future. Merrill lynch is in hot water. This isa Merrill Lynch is in hot water. This is a huge bank that operates around the globe. The Financial Conduct Authority find them £34 million for not reporting about 69 million deals over the course of two years. It can slip your mind, right . It has earned the anger of the sca because they say Companies Must be meticulous in reporting deals, otherwise we will not have proper transparency fca. Michelle fleury is at the New York Stock Exchange what were the deals they forgot to report . It involves the word derivatives and before you scratch your head, in simple terms you could say it is a bet that people can take. In some cases it can be used to hedge against a loss. Even a homeowner, if they are worried they might not be able to repay their mortgage, they might inadvertently bya mortgage, they might inadvertently by a derivative to protect against that, like in a job when you are worried about losing yourjob, in the us you have something that can protect you against the loss of the job. This is a more complicated version of that that can lead to speculation and in the wake of the financial crisis regulators introduced a role that would essentially force Financial Institutions to report transactions, to create transparency, so they would know which bets were out there and whether they were getting too big. This is where the bank ran into hot water and failed to report 68. 5 million transactions and now it is paying this fine. 30 less than it would have been if they had not cooperated early with the regulator. Michele. Thank you. Simon, iam back in an hour. Lets get a weather update. Temperatures on the rise this week. You will notice the winds will be lighter than they have been over recent days. We have had a lot of cloud but that is pushing awake to the east with clear spells this evening, but through the night, more cloud returning from the south west, low cloud. Some outbreaks of rain. Look how mild in the far south west. That is the minimum temperature. That is the minimum temperature. That mild air will spread across the country tomorrow and with it outbreaks of rain. Even as the rain clears, we will be left with a trailing weather front. Damp all day in england and wales. Brighter skies to the south. Mild. Cloudy. A high of 18 degrees. Further ahead, some others will seek cloud and outbreaks of rain. The best of the warmth in the south. Flo hello, youre watching afternoon live im simon mccoy. Today at three. As theresa may prepares to give the commons an update on brexit talks anger over the leaks at an eu dinner. I suggest humbly to our friends and partners in brussels now is the time to get on with it. The drive for clean air london starts to charge owners of older more polluting cars. Seeing red over the effects of rising levels of co2 blue planets David Attenborough. Big areas of coral reef that are white, bleached, crumbling deserts. If youve ever seen a coral reef, and you think what that once was, thats enough to make you weep. Coming up on afternoon live all the sport. And hes gone. He got the kiss of death from the everton board, but he has been sacked as manager nine games into the season. They were thrashed in the premier league yesterday, they are in the relegation zone, i will let you know who is in the running to take his place a little bit later. And in the weather, all of the details with ben rich. The calendar rolls ever further into autumn but temperatures will climb a bit over the next few days. How long can that continue . I will have all the details coming up. Thanks. Also coming up the british diver who thought things couldnt get any worse separated from his boat four miles from the shore then he realised he was being stalked by a huge shark. Hello everyone this is afternoon live im simon mccoy. Within the next hour theresa may is due to update mps on what process has men made with the eu leaving negotiation. But there is alien to counter the german newspaper, which claims the theresa may baked john claude puel cafu help and appeared anxious and tormented. It follows a call from the uks biggest lobby groups to have an urgent deal to safeguard jobs and investment. Prime minister, what are you putting on the table . This time last week, the Prime Minister left downing street for brussels. Her aim, to try to unblock brexit talks over dinner with senior figures from the eu. The meal in the belgian capital was officially called constructive. Then, this emerged. An account in a german newspaper, which said that mrs may, under political pressure at home, had pleaded for help from the eu. The president of the European Commission reportedly said that shed looked nervous and disheartened. Jean Claude Juncker, according to the newspaper, said the Prime Minister seemed like she had not slept for days. This morning, his senior aide rejected the reports. He said. He claimed it was an attempt to frame the eu side and undermine talks. And at a press briefing in brussels, a Commission Spokesman said this. We have a lot of work. And no time for gossip. I have to be very clear that president juncker would never have used the words attributed to him and never would have said anything like this. We have never been punitive on brexit. We have said at all levels, on many occasions, that we were working for a fair deal. Theresa may will update mps on the brexit talks here this afternoon. Officially, number ten does not comment on leaks, but cabinet members today have said that they are fully behind the Prime Minister with one saying that she is fighting to negotiate the best deal, and the government insists that tangible progress has been made. Nonetheless, five prominent business groups have drafted a letter to the brexit secretary, warning of the dangers of prolonged uncertainty. The impact on jobs and investment is the same across the European Union. One of the big messages from firms is get on with it, on both sides, find a way to get an agreement by the end of transition so that we can have the all important proper trade talks about the final deal on the first half of next year. In the first half of next year. That is a sentiment echoed by the foreign secretary, who said that he welcomed positive vibes from eu leaders after the talks last week in brussels. They have given a fair wind to the idea of themselves now discussing the new trade deal, however they want to proceed. I suggest, humbly, to ourfriends and partners in brussels, now is the time to get on with it. When these leaders meet again in december they will decide whether to start discussing future relations between the uk and the eu. No doubt, between now and then they will hope that conversations remain private. So what is she likely to say and whats the mood as she prepares to face mps. Lets talk to our Political Correspondent Eleanor Garnier. Imean, she i mean, she is under some pressure. Shears but we should still expect a pretty upbeat assessment from the Prime Minister. We know that at last weeks summit progress was a bit like tiptoeing forward, inching forward in a mile long journey. Yes, eu leaders agreed they would start preparation talks about our future long term addition chip with the eu, on trade and a future transition deal, but they said sufficient progress had not been made to move on the formal negotiations on those issues directly with the uk. They will Start Talking between themselves, talks about talks, if you like, but theresa may will come back here, knowing they fail to hit that deadline. They wanted the uk government to start talks about trade in the autumn. Now all eyes are looking to december, the next eu summit. British business now wants clearer details about any transition deal. Thats right, there has been a combined effort from some of the uks biggest business lobbying groups, who have written a letter due to be sent to the brexit secretary in the next couple of days, david davis. In that letter they say time is running out. They say they need an urgent transition deal on the table by the end of the year, in order that the uk doesnt lead up the macro lose out on jobs and investment. They say they need to start putting their plans that they have got in place into action if we are heading for a no deal scenario. We have heard from the likes of the cbi today saying this really is urgent, this reel, we need this transition deal by the end of the year. Now i think what all this shows is coming theresa may this morning comes back to probably what will be seen in downing street as a pretty disappointing letter, so that pressure from Business Leaders. She has had the difficult talks in the eu, the failure to move onto the next round of negotiations and of course she will be looking over her shoulder in the commons in around 25 minutes time, knowing that there are some on the backbenches who will not be making life easy for her. Thank you very much that. Owners of some older cars will have to pay almost twice as much to drive into Central London from today, following a new charge aimed at reducing pollution. The toxicity charge, or t charge, will apply mainly to diesel and petrol vehicles registered before 2006. Their drivers will now have to pay £21. 50 to drive in. Our transport correspondent Richard Westcott reports. Londons streets are among the most polluted on earth. Swimming in toxic nitrogen dioxide, and tiny particles, invisible, unless you use a special camera. So now driving a dirtier vehicle into the heart of the city during the week will cost you more. I want to see the quality of air in london improve now, not someday in the future, ten or 15 years time. So what i am in favour of is encouraging changing peoples behaviour, moving to either public transport, walking more, or cleaner cars and vans. From today, anyone crossing this line in an older vehicle will have to pay an extra £10 for the privilege, and it looks like it is already affecting peoples behaviour. So when they first talked about this scheme back in february, they said around 10,000 vehicles a day would have to pay. A few months later, they are now just talking about 6,500 vehicles, so it suggests that people are changing their cars and vans. It will affect many vehicles registered before 2006, so as well as that additional £10, they will pay £11. 50 congestion charge, so that is £21. 50 in total. Campaigners say it will save lives, but not everyones happy. I think its a bit much. I understand why they are doing it for the pollution, you know the amount of people going into london, but i am thinking the smaller the medium size businesses that have their fans, the smaller to medium size businesses that have their vans, i think they will need to buy new bands. To buy new vans. It will put a lot of poor people, ok, people that cant afford it in the first place. What are they going to do . It is pretty difficult. If you run a Small Business and can only afford an old van will be hammered for it. A major study last week suggested dirty air contributed to about 50,000 deaths in the uk in 2015, giving it one of the worst records in europe. It is notjust a london problem, many towns and cities break eu pollution limits. I think this is one of a raft of measures that has to happen, particularly we would like the government to launch a new clean air act, which will bring together a whole load of different policies that allow us to tackle this from lots of different angles. Us in the uk feel that something very strongly the government should commit to. Many city leaders across britain are looking into cutting pollution, and they will announce plans next year. In glasgow, there is talk of a similar low emission zone that is not clear whether drivers there would have to pay. Meanwhile, the london zone is being extended in a few years, with even tougher rules on who has to pay to come in. Ben ando, a lot of people feeling they are being targeted as a soft touch. The ones we have spoken to here, many of them didnt know until they heard it on the radio this morning that this key charge was being brought in from today. What they are also saying that while they understand the reasoning behind it and most accept something has to be done about the quality of air, particularly here in london, theyre also really concerned that the way this is being brought in and the people it is targeting those who will be least able to afford it, for example owners of older vehicles, vehicles that fail these euro four emissions test are maybe the people who can least afford to upgrade to a newer car. Similarly, the businesses that may be running those older vehicles, the one that fail that older test, could again be smaller businesses, mediums businesses, businesses, mediums businesses, businesses may be that feeling the pinch a bit and therefore less able to their vehicles, which may be why they havent done it. So motorists accepting the need for it but slightly worried that the long sector of people wrong sector people are being targeted. With me is simon birkett, founder of the Environmental Campaign group, clean air in london. Im guessing this is a step in the right direction for you . This is an important step on the path to burning diesel vehicles in london. All diesel vehicles . Yes, there are no clean diesel vehicles. The mayor needs to be doing a lot more than he is doing today though to keep his ma nifesto is doing today though to keep his manifesto pledge to restore londons air quality the legal and safe levels. So every fan, dieseltaxi, all the other diesel vehicles camier would see any of them here every diesel van. We need a revolution like the one we had in 1956 with the clea n like the one we had in 1956 with the clean air act, which got rid of wood and coal burning in the most polluted places, and that is what we needin polluted places, and that is what we need in london. Along streets like abba thames street, the levels of nitrogen dioxide, a toxic gas, are more than twice the legal limit in the who guideline and outside the congestion charging zone it is about 50 higher at somewhere like carrots. From the evidence like harrods. What would the effect be on that sort of figure . London would comply with those who guidelines and legal limits if we got rid of diesel, but lets put it in an international perspective, madrid, mexico city, paris, athens, they are all saying they will ban diesels by all saying they will ban diesels by a certain date. Rome, belgium, places like copenhagen, where large parts of their central city are actually being pedestrianised. The difficulty is, particularly with london, a capital city, very busy, a hub for business, for everybody, many people relying on deliveries of whatever. Do you accept it will take a while for todays white tenor driver, in a diesel one, dhesi the future as electric cars . The good news is that the mayors t charge is sending such a powerful signal to people that in september this year we saw diesel car sales collapsing by some 22 , and it wasntjust that. We were seeing a move from fossil fuel vehicles that. We were seeing a move from fossilfuel vehicles and that. We were seeing a move from fossil fuel vehicles and hybrids. That. We were seeing a move from fossilfuel vehicles and hybrids. So that transition is already well underway but i do accept that governments for 25 years having courage to people to buy these vehicles, and they must play their pa rt vehicles, and they must play their part and help the mayor. Many of us are motorists, we all feel a bit got at all the time, because we are seen as an easy touch. They drive a car, we can add another ten quid here, another tanker to that. Would you rather everything was banned from london . Are you messiah neck about this must be your plan . Of course not. I come from a business background, so i have a Commercial Point of view, i was a bank of 25 yea rs. Point of view, i was a bank of 25 years. What this is about is re engineering our cities. We didnt stop heating our homes or cooking after the clean air act, we ended up with cleaner air, we ended up with many benefits. This is what we need to be doing a re engineering our cities, but we do need the government to play its part, not just sit on its hands. Ram sadiq khan, if the step doesnt go far, would you like to do, other than band diesel, what else would be on agenda . We need to be discouraging the most polluting vehicles, so this is an important step, but he does need to take more steps, make these measures bigger, stronger and smarter, so we need to be pushing down on the problem. We also need to be giving people help with incentives, encouragement and facilities. A scrappage scheme would be nice but there is no point scrapping land rovers on farms for example when the problem is actually in the heart of london. Thank you for coming in, how are you getting home tonight . On the tube, thats how i got here. Home tonight . On the tube, thats howl got here. Nice home tonight . On the tube, thats how i got here. Nice to see you. It isa it is a quarter past three, you are watching afternoon live. The widow ofa watching afternoon live. The widow of a dead american soldiers such as angered by eight condolence call from President Trump because he struggled to remember her name. In the first tv interview, Aisha Johnson said mr trump as mccall had made her cry even more fostered in the tweet, is the trump said he remembered her husbands name without hesitation. This is what mrs johnson actually said. The president said he knew what he signed up for but it hurts anyway. And it made me cry because i was very, very angry at the tone of his voice and how he said it. He couldnt remember my husbands name, the only where he remembered is because he told me he had my husband report in front of him, and thats when he actually said ladavid. I heard him stumbling, trying to remember my husbands name, and that is what hurt the most. If my husband risked his life for our country cant you remember his name . And that is what made me cry even more because my husband was an awesome soldier. Lets talk to laura in washington. Mrtrump said, lets talk to laura in washington. Mr trump said, sessions with the families of dead servicemen are private, but they are not, are they . This has been a feud that has lasted nearly ten days. It was last week between congresswoman Frederica Wilson who was in the call when in the car when that call was made with President Trump. Then it felt political, like the sides were throwing this football around and stop this morning the widow of a fallen soldier has gone on National Television to dispute the president s account of a condolence call with her. It goes straight to the heart of what many critics see as this problem in the white house of credibility. When Ayesha Johnson went on, she said the call made her cry even more, in an extraordinary move she is not even able to see her husbands body before the burial, fuelling conspiracy theories about how the four soldiers died in niger. Congressmen are coming forward wondering what went wrong with sergeant let David Johnson who was killed with three others on the border of niger and mali. But right now at the heart of this we have a president saying he remembered the soldiers name and that he said that this phone call was respectful and we have the widower of that fallen soldier who was heavily pregnant, and has two other children of her own, now coming on National Television to dispute that. It is not a good episode for the white house. Is there any chance this, session makes this the intake form, one way or another . That question has been asked. In the room was President Trump as mac chief of staff, general kelly. He has come forward to say the call was respectful, an extraordinary move during a press Conference Last Week he defended the president. He has lost a son himself. In combat. So when it comes to this row, we are looking at not just when it comes to this row, we are looking at notjust the credibility of President Trump but the credibility of the white house administration. Laura bicker in washington, thank you post opjust administration. Laura bicker in washington, thank you post op just a pick up of the story we were telling you about earlier, the leak following a meeting withJean Claude Juncker and theresa may, the leaks suggesting, according to a german newspaper, that mrs may was political week and begged for help at the dinner, Jean Claude Juncker has endorsed that by one of my colleagues, and when asked about this, he said i am really supposed if not shocked about what has been written in the german press, of course repeated by the british press. Nothing he says is true in all of this, i had an excellent working dinner with theresa may, she was in good shape, she was not tired. She was fighting, as is her duty, server thing for me is ok. He was asked if she plead with you, and he said, no, that is not the style of british Prime Ministers. Jean Claude Juncker is currently speaking with students at the university of strasbourg, we will hopefully have a clip from him later on. And dont forget, we are waiting to hear from theresa may, on. And dont forget, we are waiting to hearfrom theresa may, giving mps an update on meeting in the house of commons in the next ten minutes, and thatis commons in the next ten minutes, and that is the main story.

Emile cilliers denies two counts of attempted murder. A 23 year old woman has been charged with the murder of a toddler, who fell from a sixth floor window in bradford. Elliot procter, who was 18 months old, died on saturday at newcastle house, a seven story block of flats in the city centre. Gemma procter, whos 23, will appear before magistrates in bradford more patients should be told to go home and rest rather than take antibiotics thats the advice of Public Health england. The chief medical officer says that up to a fifth of prescriptions are unnecessary and overuse of antibiotics is making infections harder to treat. Our Health Correspondent James Gallagher reports. Bacteria like these e coli are getting harder to treat as they evolve ways to resist antibiotics. These Public Health england laboratories are where the most serious infections come for analysis. This antibiotic would kill or treat an infection caused by this strain. If there is no zone at all we would say the bacterium is resistant and this drug would not be an effective treatment. If we go back to 2005 07, we were seeing these bacteria in two to four cases per year. Last year we confirmed these resistant bacteria in over 2,000 cases. If antibiotics fail, then minor infections could become deadly, and surgery, chemotherapy and caesareans too risky to perform. Drug resista nt infections are a growing problem. 5,000 people were killed by such infections last year, if you take e coli in the bloodstream, now four in ten cases cant be treated with the most common antibiotics. Antibiotics, were wonderful pills but dont ever think well cure all of your ills using too many antibiotics increases Drug Resistance, and this tv campaign is being launched to tell people theyll not be given a pill every time they are ill. The majority of us will get infections from time to time and will recover because of our own immunity. The fact is that if you take an antibiotic when you dont need it, you are more likely to have an infection that the antibiotics then dont work for over the coming months. Antibiotics are vital in cases like sepsis, pneumonia and bacterial meningitis. But Health Officials said we all have a part to play in preventing the rise of resistance and that for many infections, rest, fluids and paracetamol will do thejob. James gallagher, bbc news. Corals, clams and baby cod could all be affected by Carbon Dioxide emissions, which are making the oceans more acidic thats the finding of a major new report. The eight year study from more than 250 scientists has found that while theres likely to be an impact on all sea life, infant Sea Creatures could be particularly vulnerable. Heres our environment analyst, roger harrabin. Heres the effect of Carbon Dioxide on sea water. These bubbles contain natural co2 from an underwater volcano in papua new guinea. Few Sea Creatures can live here because the co2 has made nearby water more acidic. Swim away from those vents, and what a difference. The seas chemistry returns to normal. And wonderful reef life can thrive. But Industrial Society is churning out co2 on a massive scale, and the gas is being absorbed into sea water around the world. Into sea water around the world, making it all more acidic. Todays report warns of major impacts on sea life. This comprehensive Study Confirms what weve been observing globally, Ocean Acidification is a problem, acidity is increasing and thats notjust having an impact on the ecology, which we are seeing already, but it will have an impact on us as humans further down the line. Take one fish we love to eat cod. The Research Shows that baby cod are especially sensitive to more acidic water. It projects that if co2 levels rise unchecked, we should expect only a quarter as many cod in the seas. Some species will thrive with the changes to come. The co2 will fertilise seaweed, for instance, but scientists have been researching the tiny creatures that build reefs, like at this coral nursery i dived to in the red sea. They say coral organisms cannot stand extra acidity and they warn that unless we cut co2 emissions radically, many reefs wont survive more than a few decades and this will have consequences for people. Modern life will be disrupted, and that will hit the fishing communities, who are living on the front line, who have emitted the least Carbon Emissions, but unfortunately because of the cruel irony of Climate Change, they would be hit first and worst. Its notjust poor people who will be affected by Ocean Acidification; scientists warn unless we radically cut co2 emissions the entire ocean food web will be disrupted, and that, in some way, will touch all of our lives. Roger harrabin, bbc news. A short time ago i told you what Jean Claude Juncker said of these claims of the leak at the dinner, this is what happened when he spoke to us. President juncker, hello, how are you . Can we ask about the dinner with mrs may . Did you tell the german press what happened . No, never. Im really surprised if not shocked, by what has been written in the german press, and of course repeated by the british press. Nothing is true in all of this. I had an excellent working dinner with theresa may. She was in good shape, she was not tired, she was fighting, as is her duty, so everything for me was ok. So she didnt plead with you for help . No, no, that is not the style of british Prime Ministers. Eleanor garnier, Jean Claude Juncker says this is all nonsense, but the difficulty is it just says this is all nonsense, but the difficulty is itjust adds to that image of intransigence, difficulties that the Prime Minister faces during these talks. There is no doubt that these talks. There is no doubt that the negotiations are very difficult, andi the negotiations are very difficult, and i think both sides have said, yes, it is going to be difficult but it isa yes, it is going to be difficult but it is a huge task to undertake 40 yea rs of it is a huge task to undertake 40 years of a relationship as the uk leaves the eu. This report, so called report that was published ina german so called report that was published in a german newspaper has as we have just heard from the president of the commission been completely disregarded. He said it simply is not the case. There was a similar dinner if you months ago between theresa may and john called juncker that was leaked to the press. There was far more of a robust defence from Jean Claude Juncker at that point. This time it has been com pletely point. This time it has been completely disregarded by Jean Claude Juncker, and well so heard from his chief of staff earlier the day, saying, look, this has been leaked to the press to undermine the negotiations, to frame the eu, if you like. So it does, yes, point to how difficult the talks will be, but it seems that whoever this came from it certainly wasntJean Claude Juncker. Theresa may could be getting up to herfeet theresa may could be getting up to her feet any now. She seems to have that awful cough. Yes, all the mps are taking their seats to hear theresa may give her updates. The usual thing after an eu summit, the houseis usual thing after an eu summit, the house is updated by the Prime Minister what has happened. I think we should expect a pretty upbeat, i think upbeat, but i think there will be some realism in there. We know eu leaders have agreed to begin preparations for talking about trade and transition. They have agreed to talk amongst themselves, if you like. But they said sufficient progress had not been made to move on to formal negotiations with the uk on those two issues. It was, if you like, a tiptoe forward , it was, if you like, a tiptoe forward, inching forward in an miles long journey out of the eu for the uk. Theresa may will be trying to put her best spin on it and say progress has been good. The government have said Real Progress is going on. But eyes will robbie turning to the next summit. There is a much time between now and then to get all the work that needs to be donein get all the work that needs to be done in place of eu leaders can agree that enough progress has been made to move on to the future trade talks. They want to see the did cause side of the talks, like eu Citizen Rights, but also the money, the brexit bill. How much the uk is willing to pay as it leaves the uk. That is a very big Sticking Point in the talks. Until one side or the other gives on the issue, it is difficult to see how significant progress can be made in the talks. I think theresa may will be upbeat in her account of the summer from last week, but everyone knows the deadline. Both sides had originally set for autumn to be the time when they moved onto the second phase of they moved onto the second phase of the talks, that has been missed. They are now hoping that can be in december. John bercow is on his feet. I am going to hang onto you a bit longer. I am just wondering in terms of the mood music, what are we going to see . Theresa may makes a statement and then jeremy going to see . Theresa may makes a statement and thenJeremy Corbyn. This is a big day for him as well, in how he is seen to handle this . Jeremy corbyn travelled with sir keir starmer to brussels last week. They said they were there, not to do separate negotiations, but to help break the deadlock. They were in brussels meeting eu leaders. In the chamber, we will see theresa may getting support from her backbenchers, the tone in brussels last week had change, it was more friendlier towards theresa may. We saw her walking side by side with her counterpart from france, also Angela Merkel, the german chancellor. It definitely seems the tone had warmed towards theresa may but they werent ready to move onto second round of the negotiations. Theresa may is facing pressure in brussels, yes from her own back benches, she only needs to look over her shoulder in the house of commons and know there are mps who will be making her life difficult over the next few months. Today she is seeing how much pressure she is under from businesses. We had thisjoint letter from five different business lobbying groups, including the cbi, who are all saying we need an urgent transition deal put in place. We feel time is running out, those businesses say. Because they need to make decisions on whether they need to relocate to other cities across the European Union, whether they need to move staff or invest overseas. They say it needs to be done as soon as possible. Theresa may has indicated she wants a two year transition deal to prevent any cliff edge, the day after we leave the eu. That is what these Business Leaders are calling for. They now say it is urgent and they need it before the end of the year. Pressure from her own mps, pressure from brussels but pressure from businesses. I dont think i would wa nt businesses. I dont think i would want thatjob businesses. I dont think i would want that job very businesses. I dont think i would want thatjob very much. Businesses. I dont think i would want that job very much. |j businesses. I dont think i would want that job very much. I certainly wouldnt. John bercow is still on his feet. In fact, he is theresa may. With permission i would like to make a statement on last weeks European Council. Long after we left the European Union, the uk will continue to be strong and committed partner, standing alongside our neighbours and working together to advance our shared interests. This council provided a further opportunity to demonstrate that ongoing commitment that included migration, the digital Single Market, north korea, turkey and iran. And it made progress in moving towards the new deep and special partnership with the European Union we want to see. On migration, the uk is playing its part. The royal navy has intercepted 172 smuggling boats and saved over 12,000 lives since operation sophia began. While our National Crime agency is working with libyan law enforcement, enhancing their capability to tackle the people smuggling and trafficking networks. At the council we welcomed the reduction in migrant crossings and the renewed momentum behind the libyan political process. But we should continue to address the root causes driving people across the sa ha ra causes driving people across the sahara and the mediterranean so the uk is investing in education, jobs and services, both in countries of origin and transit. On the digital Single Market it is right to keep up the pressure on completing its implementation by the end of 2018. They will benefit us even after we leave the European Union. At this council i argued the free flow of data is key to unlocking the potential of the digital trade and we secured conclusions which recognise this. As the government set out over the summer, such arrangements will be an important pa rt arrangements will be an important part between the future relationship between the uk and the eu. Turning to the discussions on turkey, we share the concerns over the rest of eu nationals and others defending human rights. It is something i raise personally with president are the one at the Un General Assembly and we are calling on turkey to protect freedom of expression and release those defending human rights. We must take a long term view of the injuring importance with our relationship with turkey, are vital part in securing a prosperous european neighbourhood and we must continue to recognise the challenge they are responding to, not least they are responding to, not least they faced a military coup 16 months ago. We must continue to work with turkey as our partner, in particular as we respond to the shared challenges of terrorism, migration and instability in the middle east. In so doing, we must do all we can to convince turkey to demonstrate its commitment to human and the rule of law. To turn away from turkey now, would undermine those who seek to secure a European Future faced on our shared values. North korea would welcome the sanctions last week and reaffirmed our condemnation of north koreas aggressive and nuclear test. We urged all states to play their pa rt we urged all states to play their part in changing because pyongyang is taking. And on iran, the council built on thejoint is taking. And on iran, the council built on the joint statement made by Angela Merkel, president Emmanuel Macron and myself last week, reiterating its Firm Commitment to the nuclear deal. This deal was the culmination of 13 years of diplomacy and a major step to ensure Irans Nuclear programme is not diverted for military purposes. It is important for our shared security and we are continuing to work closely with our french and german allies on this issue. Turning to our negotiations to leave the European Union as shared the vision i set out in florence for a creative and pragmatic approach to a new deep and special partnership between the United Kingdom and the European Union. A Partnership Based on the fundamental beliefs we share in democracy, the rule of law, free trade, rigorous and fair competition, strong Consumer Rights and high regulatory standards. I have been clear the uk is committed to maintain europes security. Have approached these talks with the professionalism and constructive spirit and we should recognise what has been achieved. On Citizen Rights, both sides share the same objectives of safeguarding the rights of eu nationals living in the uk and uks nationals living in the eu. This has been my First Priority from the beginning and it remain so. The negotiations are complicated and technical, but in the end they are about people and i am determined we will put people first. Eu citizens make an extraordinary contribution to our National Life and we want them to stay. I know eu Member States value uk nationals living in their communities and i want them to have their rights protected. We are united on the key principles and while there are a small number of issues that remain outstanding, we are in touching distance of a deal. This agreement will provide certainty of residence, health care, pensions and other benefits. It will mean eu citizens who have paid into the uk system and uk nationals who have paid into the system of an eu 27 country, can benefit from what they have put in. It will allow families who have built their lives together to Stay Together and guarantee the rights of citizens living in the eu and uk citizens living in the eu and uk citizens living in the uk, will not diverged over time. We will make sure the implementation of the agreement we reach does not cremate bureaucratic hurdles. I have said applying for su btle hurdles. I have said applying for subtle status will cost no more than auk subtle status will cost no more than a uk passport. And those applying will no longer have two demonstrate comprehensive sickness insurance. We will work close with eu Member States to make sure their system is streamlined for british nationals in their countries. We have made significant progress in Northern Ireland, where it is imperative joint work on the Peace Process is not affected. The belfast agreement must be at the heart of our approach and we have agreed the unique circumstances across the whole of the island of ireland, will require specific solutions. There will not be any physical infrastructure at the border and we have developed joint principles to ensure the continuation of the common travel area. These principles will reserve the right of uk and irish nationals to live, work and study across these islands and protect the associated rights to Public Services and social security. This council provided an opportunity to assess and reflect on how to make further progress in the negotiations. My speech in florence may two important steps, which have added a new impetus. I gave two clear commitments on the financial settle m e nt clear commitments on the financial settlement the uk will honour commitments we have major in the period of membership and none of our eu partners should fear they will need to pay more or receive less over the remainder of the current budget plan as a result of our decision to leave. As the house would expect, we are going through our potential commitment line by line and that detailed work continues. Second, i propose a time limited implementation period based on current terms which is in the interests of both the uk and the eu. But this council the 27 Member States responded by agreeing to stop the preparation for negotiations on trade and the future relationship. The conclusion is to call for work to continue with a view to be able to continue with a view to be able to move to the second phase of the negotiations as soon as possible. Donald tusk was clear the eus internal work will take account of proposals presented in the florence speech and this agreement to start discussions would not be possible without the new momentum given by that speech. I am ambitious and positive about britains future and these negotiations. If we are going to ta ke these negotiations. If we are going to take a step Forward Together in must be on the basis ofjoint effort and endeavour between the uk and the eu. I believe by approaching these negotiations in a constructive way in the spirit of friendship and cooperation we can and will deliver the best possible outcome that works for all our people. That belief shared by other european leaders. We are going to leave the European Union in march 2000 and 19. Delivering on the democratic will of the british people. Of course, we are preparing for every eventuality to ensure the lead in a smooth and orderly way, but i am confident we can negotiate a deep and special partnership between sovereign United Kingdom and our Friends Partnership between sovereign United Kingdom and ourfriends in the European Union. That is my mission, it is this governments mission and i commend this statement to the. Jeremy corbyn. I would like to thank the Prime Ministerfor Jeremy Corbyn. I would like to thank the Prime Minister for an advanced copy of this statement and i underline the importance for respect of human rights and democracy in turkey and say to the government of turkey, imprisoning journalists and lawyers is not part of that process and is not acceptable. And also, that we need we also need to defend the iran nuclear deal, which has been rightly defended at the eu council last week and we must all do everything we can to defend it and prevent the proliferation of any nuclear weapons. I commend the service the royal navy and operations, which the Prime Minister has pointed out, saved thousands of lives. In relation to libya, nothing is more pressing than securing a viable, long term peaceful settle m e nt viable, long term peaceful settlement to the countrys problems. Given the language by her foreign secretary in this matter, the Prime Minister needs to take a lead on this, just as she has had to ta ke lead on this, just as she has had to take over the lead from her breadstick secretary on negotiations with the eu. I am beginning to feel a worrying sense of groundhog day here. Every time she gives us an update on the progress of negotiations, only two weeks ago she told this house has speech in florence had put momentum into the article 50 negotiations. And that an agreement on phase one of these talks was within touching distance. Well here we are again. After another round of talks and we are still no clear as to when negotiations on britains future with our largest trading partner will actually begin. Still no clear as to what exactly she has agreed to in phase one of these talks. Mr speaker, in what are the most crucial negotiations of our countrys recent history, we are stuck at an impasse, no Real Progress board and no progress at home. Especially given the Prime Ministers withdrawal bill has been delayed to presumably allow the government whips to pull together the splits in her own party . Maybe she can shed some light on all of this confusion . A confusion that has only been escalated by members of her own government. For instance, the home secretary says no deal with the home secretary says no deal with the eu would be unthinkable. The brexit secretary, still maintains no deal must be an option. While the secretary of state for international development, says that leaving without a deal would not be the armageddon that some people projects. Does the Prime Minister believe an outcome that is not armageddon, might be setting the bar a bit too low . Mr speaker, the Prime Minister will also be aware that leaders of every Major Business organisation have written to her today urging clarity and quickly. Across the uk, businesses in every region and nation are clear, they need a transition deal with the eu to be put in place as soon as possible, so they can take investment decisions. In order to protect jobs and investment decisions. In order to protectjobs and investment in this country. I know the Prime Minister has talked about the need for an implementation period after we leave the eu, but she hasnt been clear about the terms and conditions of that. Can she tell us now, what she means by excepting the same basic conditions in an implantation period . Surely, conditions in an implantation period . Surely, this conditions in an implantation period . Surely, this can only mean remaining within the Single Market and Customs Union for the transition period, as labour has made clear. On eu Citizens Rights, the Prime Minister says an agreement is within reach. Can she tell us when the detail of that agreement will be ready to bring to this house . And more importantly, to all those people in this country and in the eu who are desperate to know what their future holds for them. This could have been dealt with 16 months ago. Instead, families are suffering anxiety and some European Union citizens are deciding to leave including nurses from our National Health service. If that had been resolved, as it should have been, then hundreds and thousands of british nationals would also have the security they need. And will the Prime Minister tell us what will happen to this specific agreement on Citizen Rights if the government fails to secure a final brexit deal with the eu . Will Prime Minister now do the right thing and guarantee the rights of citizens living in the uk regardless of the outcome of article 50 negotiations . On the financial settlement, clearly some within the European Union need to stop briefing out astronomical and unacceptable numbers. But will a Prime Minister. Will Prime Minister confirm reports she privately assured european leaders britain would pay more than the office she had previously made in her previous speech . If this is the case, is she confident this would pass the red lines set out by the foreign secretary a few weeks ago . Mr speaker, the Prime Minister hails the progress she has made so far in these negotiations. The biggest battle the Prime Minister faces isnt so much with the 27 european states, the chancellor so deftly described as, the enemy. It is her battle to bring together the warring factions of her own cabinet and party. And the Prime Minister is too wea k to party. And the Prime Minister is too weak to do anything about it. The outcome of crashing out with no deal to become a deregulated tax haven, the dream of a powerfulfaction to become a deregulated tax haven, the dream of a powerful faction of her backbenchers and her frontbenchers, would be a nightmare for peoplesjobs and Living Standards. Labours message is different and clear. Only the labour party can negotiate a brexit. Labour party can negotiate a brexit. Order, order. Labour party can negotiate a brexit. Order, order. The Prime Ministers statement was heard with courtesy and so will the response be. No further discussion, no comment required, that is the situation. Jeremy corbyn. Thank you, labours message is different and very clear indeed. Only labour can negotiate a brexit and deliver an economy that puts jobs and Living Standards first and that is what we are ready to do. Prime minister. Thank you, mr speaker. Can i welcome the comments the right honourable gentleman made on the iran deal, it is important across this house we agree we should continue to support that deal. I also agree with him that deal. I also agree with him that what we want to see in libya is a peaceful settlement that can enable backcountry to be stable and peaceful into the future and it is important we support the work that is being done by the Un Special Envoy in relation to this particular issue. He asked about the brexit bill, about what i set out to the European Council is what i set out in my florence speech and what i have just repeated in in my florence speech and what i havejust repeated in my in my florence speech and what i have just repeated in my statement. He talked about is making no Real Progress. We havent reached a final agreement, but it is going to happen. I have a degree of confidence that we will be able to get to the point of sufficient progress by december. After the florence speech there is a new momentum, the florence speech was a step forward and there should be a positive response on the willingness to work on the interim period and there has been established, and momentum. Those arent my words, those are the words of Angela Merkel, the tea shop, the swedish Prime Minister, the italian Prime Minister, the polish Prime Minister and the danish Prime Minister. I can assure the right honourable gentleman that progress was made. The labour party talk about the need to move ahead in the negotiations. If they think it is so important to move ahead, why did labour meps vote against moving ahead with the negotiations . And he talked about the withdrawal bill as if this was something labour we re bill as if this was something labour were eager to see. If they are so eager about this bill, why did they vote against it at second reading . And in doing so, vote against bringing workers rights and Environmental Standards into uk law. He spent a long time in his response talking about no deal. I can only assume the Labour Party Want to talk about no deal because they simply dont know what sort of deal they would want. They cant decide whether they want to be in the Single Market or not, they cannot decide whether they want to be in the Customs Union. They cant decide if they want a second referendum or not. They cannot decide if they agree with Free Movement continuing. Worse than all the art, they said they would take any deal whatever they would take any deal whatever the price they were asked to pay. That is not the way to get a good dealfor the uk, that is not the way to get a good deal for the uk, it that is not the way to get a good dealfor the uk, it is the that is not the way to get a good deal for the uk, it is the way to get the worst possible deal for the uk. Mr kenneth clarke. Mr speaker, isnt it clear that damaging the label because it if we dont make progress soon and the main problem is, other european leaders can see that a noisy minority in the cabinet and on the backbenches of her own party have persuaded themselves that no deal at all is completely desirable. This causes them to doubt whether she is able to produce a clear picture of where she eventually wants to go and whether she is able to produce a majority here for any agreement they have, with her. Has she considered appointed some trusted minister to make approaches to leading members of the opposition parties to see if they will live up to some of the things the leader appears to say and perhaps do better, so at least we can have a consensus in this parliament in the National Interest on the outline of a transitional deal, at least, that would enable us to negotiate the final details and an arrangement the majority of this house would agree, is in the long term interests of the United Kingdom . I have to say to my right honourable friend that did sound like a job application. Cani can i said to my right honourable friend, what was clear from my interaction with european leaders, they recognise the vision i set out in the florence speech for the deep and special partnership for the future and the implementation period, did bring clarity into the thinking of the United Kingdom. The 27 have agreed, it is now for them to consider what they want to see from the future of that relationship, so the next age of those negotiations can begin. Can i also thank the Prime Minister for an advance copy of the statement. I welcome some of the conclusions from the council summit, on migration and the council summit, on migration and the stronger commitment on resettlement. We also welcomed the united approach on sanctions against north korea and endorse the eus call for it to abandon its nuclear and Ballistic Missile ill programme. However, it is of deep concern the ongoing crisis in catalonia was not covered. Eu citizens were brutally thrown to the floor while exercising their right to vote. A parliament, stripped of its constitutional status. Can the Prime Minister tell the house what representation she made to address this democratic outrage . Last week, eu 27 voted unanimously to declare there had not been sufficient progress on leaving the eu. It is clear the negotiation Sticking Points are as before, on the financial settlement, eu Citizens Rights and the irish border. Jean Claude Juncker made a rights and the irish border. Jean claudejuncker made a poignant remark, nobody explained to the british people what brexit actually meant. How true and no wonder this government is in such a mess. Today, the uks five biggest business lobby groups have called for an urgent transition deal. Time is running out for the Business Community and Financial Institutions are already giving notice of leaving london. Ireland has clinched deals with more than a dozen london banks to move business to london. Ernst and young have warned 83,000 cityjobs could be lost if the uk loses its clearing rights. Businesses need certainty and we need to know the details of our future trading relationship and any transitional deal before the end of the year. It is absolutely critical we stay in the Single Market and the Customs Union. While the Prime Minister nz governments catastrophic, take this off the table and do it today. Cani can i say to the right gent tommy wright honourable gentleman that i had spoken to Prime Minister rajoy ona number of had spoken to Prime Minister rajoy on a number of occasions, including when i saw him at the European Council. We are clear that the referendum had no legal basis. We wa nt to referendum had no legal basis. We want to see people upholding the rule of law and the spanish constitution. On the wider issue, in terms of the future relationship between the uk and the eu, i have set out the vision we have for that and, as ive just set out the vision we have for that and, as ivejust said in answer to the leader of the official opposition, the eu 27 will now be looking at their vision for this, but im sorry that i now have to repeat again to the right honourable gentleman, because this is an issue he has raised in the past, that full membership of the Single Market and Customs Union go with the jurisdiction of the European Court ofjustice jurisdiction of the European Court of justice and freedom jurisdiction of the European Court ofjustice and freedom of movement. These are issues which were voted against when people voted to leave the eu. They would effectively mean that we would remain in the European Union, and we are going to leave in march 2019. Iain duncan smith. Mr speaker, may i thank my honourable friend that she wait she may wish to a nswer friend that she wait she may wish to answer some of those who want certainty by reminding them that you cannot have agreement on an implementation period until you have something to implement, first and foremost. Secondly, could she explain that, during the course of her discussions, the private once she had, the ones which the acting president of the European Union hasnt actually put into the papers, but her private discussions, could she say whether she reminded her collea g u es she say whether she reminded her colleagues in the eu that, to reach a properfree trade colleagues in the eu that, to reach a proper free trade arrangement, they will need to have concluded those discussions before the summer of next year, otherwise it will be difficult to get those through in time both in the eu or hair, and did she get an answer about when they might like to start . I think my right honourable friend, because he is right. As we have said, the point of the implementation period is to put in place the practical changes necessary to move to the future partnership and, in order to have that, you need to know what that partnership is going to be. I have in my discussions with other eu leaders raised the issue of the timetable that we have, and the ultimate timetable that was set by the lisbon treaty. My right honourable friend talks about knowing the details of the trade deal by next summer. Michel barnier himself has suggested october 2018 might be the point by which it would be necessary to know that, but my right honourable friend is right that there will be need National Grid there will need to be a period for ratification of future arrangements by the various National Parliament and, as we know, that can be more than one in some countries concerned. Can the Prime Minister explain why it is frequently said by those with whom we are negotiating that they do not know what the uk once when it comes to a long term deal, and does she think it has anything to do with the fact that the cabinet appears not to have reached its own view about the nature of that deal . This is a negotiation and they will be Different Levels of detail at Different Levels of detail at different stages of it. I have set out the vision for our future partnership and, as i have said in response to a number of remarks now, what happened at this European Council was that the eu 27 agreed that they will now start the work of preparing their vision of what the future partnership will be so that, when we come to formally open those trade negotiations, both sides have that agenda and clearly know what those negotiations will cover. Given the wish of business to deal with uncertainty, which is understandable, would the Prime Minister agree that the best course for a Business Trading with europe would be to prepare for a smooth transition to wto trade terms, which this government can and will guarantee unilaterally, but to expect the Prime Minister to have good luck in bringing back Something Better . Well, i think its absolutely right that its important that business prepares for a smooth and orderly move to the future relationship that we have. Thats why i proposed this limitation period, andl why i proposed this limitation period, and i believe its in the interest of businesses not just period, and i believe its in the interest of businesses notjust in the uk but also the eu. As my right honourable friend says, we are working to get a good deal which i think also will be not just working to get a good deal which i think also will be notjust in our interests but in the interest of the eu 27. Further to her answer to the memberfor chingford, eu 27. Further to her answer to the member for chingford, the brexit secretary said last week that the transition phase will be triggered only once we have completed the deal itself, and i understand her spokesman said today, the implementation period is a bridge to where you are heading and you need to know where you are heading. Could she clarify, is she saying today that, if we havent got a long term trade deal agreed by this time next year, then there wont be any transition deal at all . And britain will end up on wto terms by march 2019 . I say to the right honourable lady, as ijust responded to my right honourable friend, the member for chingford, and intimidation period is about a period which is adjusting to the future relationship. Thats the basis on which on which i have put it to the eu and the basis on which we will be negotiating an agreement. The eu and the basis on which we will be negotiating an agreementm relation to any intimidation period, will my right honourable friend accept that it is a potential bear trap if there is a direct involvement of the European Court, whose case for supremacy over our parliament and courts includes a commitment to the charter of fundamental rights and political integration . As my honourable friend knows, ive been very clear that one of the intentions of people voting to leave europe, for the uk to leave the eu was to ensure that, in the future, the jurisdiction of the European Court of justice future, the jurisdiction of the European Court ofjustice is no longer covered the uk. When comes to being limitation period, we will have to negotiate the basis of that implementation period. If we are going to ensure that we have the greatest possible certainty for business during that period, it will be necessary, ithink, for us to business during that period, it will be necessary, i think, for us to see as little change during that period as little change during that period as is commensurate with that certainty for business. Indeed, one of the purposes of the eu withdrawal bill is to bring eu law into uk law, to bring that certainty to businesses and individuals here. Until recently, the British Government was leading the negotiations in europe to create a digital Single Market, benefiting creative industries. Can she explain how she expects to be taken seriously, in the words of her statement, the completion of the Single Market by 2018 when she is in the process of trying to leave it . The uk continues to lead in the debate on the creation of a digital Single Market. We believe this is important for the eu 27, and for the uk, in or out of the eu. We will continue to negotiate, encourage the digital Single Market during the period when we are members of the eu, buti period when we are members of the eu, but i believe its important for us, once we leave, that that digital Single Market has been created, and we will forge a new partnership with it. Can i commend the Prime Ministers statement and the progress that she has made in these negotiations. As weve heard, representatives of british businesses, businesses of all sizes, from all sectors, today to the government warning of the consequences of no deal and relying on wto rules. They said the government should give certainty to business by immediately ruling this option out under any circumstances. Will the Prime Minister agree to listen to british businesses, and would she even go so far today as finally to rule out no deal . Can i say to my right honourable friend, we have, of course, been engaging with business and listening to business. I was very clear that the implementation period was something that business was very keen on having, and ensuring they had that smooth and orderly houses of withdrawal, but we are in a negotiation with the eu treaty seven, andl negotiation with the eu treaty seven, and i think its important to remember, as part of that, that if we want to get a good deal for the uk, i think the best way to get a bad deal for the uk is to say that we will accept anything that they give us, regardless. We have to be clear that what we are working for isa clear that what we are working for is a good deal, but i am optimistic about that, because we have made some progress, and i believe that the good deal we are seeking is in the good deal we are seeking is in the interest of both sides. Isnt it the interest of both sides. Isnt it the case that the Business Community will be shocked to hear the words of the Prime Minister today, which seem to suggest that there will be no clarity on transition. Lets go over to Eleanor Garnier, who is a few feet away in the house of commons. Two words from theresa may that will stick out, ambitious and positive. She has given a pretty positive. She has given a pretty positive account of that eu summit last week. She said the summit had given renewed freshness, fresh impetus, sorry, and important progress had been made. Im just going to go through a few of the main issues they were talking about, and what theresa may updated mps them. An eu assistance rights, she said that talks were very technical and difficult, but she said they we re and difficult, but she said they were within touching point of a deal, when it came to the principles of that issue of eu Citizens Rights. She said there were a small amount of issues outstanding but we are in touching distance. On the issue of Northern Ireland and the border with the republic, she said, we are agreed there will be no physical border or infrastructure put in place, something we knew they were already agreed on. On the crucial issue of money, all that theresa may would say is that, as taxpayers here in the uk would expect, the uk government is going through whats on the table line by line to make sure that they pay what is due. I think it was, as we suspected, simon, yes, upbeat from theresa may. But we know that eu leaders agreed to talk only amongst themselves about the next stage of the talks, about the next stage of the talks, about trade and a future transition deal. They said sufficient progress hadnt been made to move on to that stage. They are only going to talk about it amongst themselves. They will not enter into formal negotiations. The leader of the opposition, Jeremy Corbyn, wouldnt let that slip away. He made a point of highlighting what he said was a groundhog day. He said that every time theresa may comes to the house of commons to update mps, it feels to him like groundhog day. As we suspected, so far the questions that have been put to theresa may by some of her own backbenchers, and the labourmps, too, do of her own backbenchers, and the labour mps, too, do suggest that thatis labour mps, too, do suggest that that is going to be the mantra, the words that you used, progress has been made, im positive and ambitious that a deal can be done, but i think its worth remembering, as theresa may said at the end of the summit last week, there is still a long way to go. Interesting that hilary benn, chair of the brexit select committee, pointed to the difficulties within theresa mays own team. Yes, and something that Jeremy Corbyn highlighted as well, because theresa may has to deal with the negotiators in brussels, or other eu 27 heads of state, who are feeding what they want into the chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, but then of course, back here, shes got not just the but then of course, back here, shes got notjust the whole of the house of commons, Opposition Mps as well, but whats going on on her back benches, but inside her cabinet as well, and we know that, whilst the government says right now, and we heard borisjohnson, government says right now, and we heard Boris Johnson, the government says right now, and we heard borisjohnson, the foreign secretary say money that they all united behind theresa may, every dot, every crossed tea, they are behind her, we know there are tensions in the cabinet about what type of brexit deal the government should be striking, and we know that eu leaders have noticed that. Weve heard them referencing that at the summit. What happens here in the house of commons, what happens in number ten, it really matters when it comes to the negotiations. We are getting an idea of how this is going to work, because the Prime Minister says she expects there will be a vote on the brexit deal in parliament before the eu countries come to a deal on an agreement. Interesting, because there is lots of pressure on the government to give mpsa of pressure on the government to give mps a vote on the final deal. We have a really big piece of legislation going through parliament. Its called the eu withdrawal bill. At the moment, there are around 300 amendments that have been put down to that bill. There is talk in here that the bill has been delayed because there are so many amendments and the government cant work out which once its going to try and pick off and which ones it might give way to. We we re which ones it might give way to. We were expecting a debate in the house of commons on that bill to start a couple of weeks ago. It still hasnt started, and we now expect that after m ps ta ke started, and we now expect that after mps take their half term recess break, if you like. But there isa recess break, if you like. But there is a lot of chatter amongst backbenchers about how difficult that eu withdrawal bill is going to be for the government, because there are some Sticking Points, like a final vote mazzarri, a vote on a final vote mazzarri, a vote on a final deal, but other issues about whether the idea of a transition period should be written into legislation. Lots of difficult thing is that the government needs to win over if they are going to face defeat in the house of commons. Owners of some older cars will have to pay almost twice as much to drive into Central London from today, following a new charge aimed at reducing pollution. The toxicity charge, or t charge, will apply mainly to diesel and petrol vehicles registered before 2006. Their drivers will now have to pay £21. 50 to drive in. Our transport correspondent Richard Westcott reports. London has some of the most polluted streets in europe, swimming in nitrous dioxide and tiny particles in visible without a special camera. So now driving a dirty vehicle into the heart of the city during the will cost more. I want to see the quality of air improved now, not some date in the future, so i am in favour of encouraging people to change their behaviour so they stop driving the most polluting vehicles and start moving to public transport, walking or cycling, or cleaner cars or vans. Transport, walking or cycling, or cleaner cars or vans. From transport, walking or cycling, or cleaner cars or vans. From today, anybody crossing this line in an older vehicle will have to pay an extra £10, and it looks like its already affecting peoples behaviour. When they first talked about this in february, they said around 10,000 vehicles per day would have to pay. A few months later, they are nowjust have to pay. A few months later, they are now just talking about have to pay. A few months later, they are nowjust talking about 6500 vehicles, which suggests that people are changing their cars and vans. It will affect many vehicles registered before 2006 so, as well as that additional £10, they will pay £1150 congestion charge, so thats £21. 50 in total. Campaigners say it will save lives, but not everyone is happy. I think its a bit much. I understand why they are doing it, for the pollution, the amount of people going into london, but i am thinking a small to medium sized businesses that have fans, i think theyre going to need to buy new fans. Its going to get a lot of poor people, who cant afford it. What are they going to do . For eve ryo ne what are they going to do . For everyone who runs a Small Business and can only afford an old van, they will be hammered. A study last week suggested that dirty air contributed to about 50,000 deaths in the uk in 2015, giving it one of the worst records in europe. It isntjust a london problem. Many towns and cities break eu pollution limits. Its one of a raft of measures that needs to happen. We did like the government to launch a new clean air act, to bring together a load of different policies to allow us to tackle this from different angles, and we feel is something the government should commit to. Many city leaders across britain are looking at cutting pollution. They will announce plans next year. In glasgow, there is talk of a similar low emission zone, but its not clear if drivers would have to pay. Meanwhile, the london zone is being extended in a few years, with even tougher rules on who has to pay to come in. The Prime Minister has updated the commons on last weeks brexit talks and says it is positive for britons future the cost of driving dirty ca rs future the cost of driving dirty cars in Central London goes up by £10 to combat air pollution.

More patients should be told to go home and rest rather than take antibiotics thats the advice of Public Health england. The chief medical officer says that up to a fifth of prescriptions are unnecessary and overuse of antibiotics is making infections harder to treat. Our Health Correspondent James Gallagher reports. Bacteria, like these e coli, are getting harder to treat as they evolve ways to resist antibiotics. These Public Health england laboratories are where the most serious infections come for analysis. This antibiotic would kill or treat an infection caused by this strain. If there is no zone at all we would say the bacterium is resistant and this drug would not be an effective treatment. If we go back to 2005 07, we were seeing these bacteria in two to four cases per year. Last year we confirmed these resistant bacteria in over 2,000 cases. If antibiotics fail, then minor infections could become deadly, and surgery, chemotherapy and caesareans too risky to perform. Drug resista nt infections are a growing problem. 5,000 people were killed by such infections last year, if you take e coli in the bloodstream, now four in ten cases cant be treated with the most common antibiotics. Antibiotics, were wonderful pills but dont ever think well cure all of your ills using too many antibiotics increases Drug Resistance, and this tv campaign is being launched to tell people theyll not be given a pill every time they are ill. The majority of us will get infections from time to time and will recover because of our own immunity. The fact is that if you take an antibiotic when you dont need it, you are more likely to have an infection that the antibiotics then dont work for over the coming months. Antibiotics are vital in cases like sepsis, pneumonia and bacterial meningitis. But Health Officials said we all have a part to play in preventing the rise of resistance and that for many infections, rest, fluids and paracetamol will do thejob. James gallagher, bbc news. Corals, clams and baby cod could all be affected by Carbon Dioxide emissions, which are making the oceans more acidic thats the finding of a major new report. The eight year study from more than 250 scientists has found that while theres likely to be an impact on all sea life, infant Sea Creatures could be particularly vulnerable. Heres our environment analyst, roger harrabin. Heres the effect of Carbon Dioxide on sea water. These bubbles contain natural co2 from an underwater volcano in papua new guinea. Few Sea Creatures can live here because the co2 has made nearby water more acidic. Swim away from those vents, and what a difference. The seas chemistry returns to normal. And wonderful reef life can thrive. But Industrial Society is churning out co2 on a massive scale, and the gas is being absorbed into sea water around the world, making it all more acidic. Todays report warns of major impacts on sea life. This comprehensive Study Confirms what weve been observing globally, Ocean Acidification is a problem, acidity is increasing and thats notjust having an impact on the ecology, which we are seeing already, but it will have an impact on us as humans further down the line. Take one fish we love to eat cod. The Research Shows that baby cod are especially sensitive to more acidic water. It projects that if co2 levels rise unchecked, we should expect only a quarter as many cod in the seas. Some species will thrive with the changes to come. The co2 will fertilise seaweed, for instance, but scientists have been researching the tiny creatures that build reefs, like at this coral nursery i dived to in the red sea. They say coral organisms cannot stand extra acidity and they warn that, unless we cut co2 emissions radically, many reefs wont survive more than a few decades, and this will have consequences for people. Modern life will be disrupted, and that will hit the fishing communities, who are living on the front line, who have emitted the least Carbon Emissions, but unfortunately because of the cruel irony of Climate Change, they would be hit first and worst. Its notjust poor people who will be affected by Ocean Acidification. Scientists warn unless we radically cut co2 emissions the entire ocean food web will be disrupted, and that, in some way, will touch all of our lives. Roger harrabin, bbc news. This morning was pretty grim. Lets have a look at the weather. Thanks, simon. Anybody watching a couple hours ago, and why would you watch for the whole afternoon, will have noticed that i said that was the most boring picture youd ever put on the tv, and youve done it ain i was going to say, how much you enjoyed it, actually but ive got some more now.

To the south, pretty cloudy, but mild, 19 in london, a lwa ys cloudy, but mild, 19 in london, always cooler in the north. Watch this weather front as it wriggles around our chart through the week.

Further north, some sunshine in the midlands, Northern Ireland and Northern England. Some showers in north west scotland. On thursday, the weather front is likely to go a bit further north. The temperatures you see in the south, 17, maybe 18, that if you keep the cloud. If we get the sunshine, you could get 20. How long do the temperatures remain high . Not that long. For the weekend, that wriggling front dives down to the south, and we open the floodgates to a cool north westerly wind.

How difficult it is, because it is a negative situation for the team. Everything is negative. But i am not like that. So koeman still believed he was the man to turn things around.

Thats all the sport for now. Ill have more for you in the next hour. Now on afternoon live, lets go nationwide and see whats happening around the country in our daily visit to the bbc newsrooms around the uk. Lets go to Dominic Heale in nottingham with the bbcs east midlands today. So, whats making the news where you are . Dominic, fishy . Yes, it is a good news story. The Great Barrier reef and the damage caused to that and problems with air pollution in big cities, particularly london. But this is a good news story from derbyshire, the home of angling. The story is salmon are returning to the River Derwent in derbyshire for the First Time Since the industrial revolution. It is said to be the biggest achievement, environmentally in the last 100 and so years. What happened to them . That part of derbyshire around the River Derwent was the cradle of the industrial revolution, it is worth the factory system was born. There were giant textile m ills system was born. There were giant textile mills set up by richard arkwright. Tupou are those mills he needed to construct weirs. As you know, it is difficult for a fully grown salmon to leap across a weir, so what they have been doing in derbyshire for the last ten or so yea rs, derbyshire for the last ten or so years, they have been building what they call passes or stairs for the salmon, so they can leap and get past and circumnavigate these weirs, and get to the porters, the heads of the river where the conditions are much betterfor sport the river where the conditions are much better for sport and the river where the conditions are much betterfor sport and in the river where the conditions are much better for sport and in and feeding. That is what they have done and they are starting to see positive results. They have done account, a census where they stunned these little fish so they could count them. They counted a few dozen ina count them. They counted a few dozen in a tributary of the River Derwent. But they are confident there will be hundreds of these at Atlantic Salmon backin hundreds of these at Atlantic Salmon back in the River Derwent. As the director shouted at me, they were going up the steps . |j director shouted at me, they were going up the steps . I think they fly up going up the steps . I think they fly up the steps, i think it would be difficult for a salmon to mosey up the stairs. But that is the general idea. It is like the equivalent of a building a tunnel under the road so the hedgehogs can cross safely. How common is this a cross this part of the world . Salmon are starting to slowly return to englands waterways. It has been a struggle to get them back into derbyshire, where salmon were so commonplace 150 years ago, peoplejust routinely salmon were so commonplace 150 years ago, people just routinely ate them. When salmon return to a regular daily macro river, it is a great barometer as to how healthy the river is. So it is good news. Great to see you, dominic. Youre watching afternoon live. If youd like to catch up with more of those news nationwide stories, go to the bbc iplayer. We put the highlights of the week on there as well. Lets return to the brexit negotiations. Jean Claude Juncker has denied leaking an account of a dinner with the Prime Minister. In a german newspaper, the Prime Minister was supposed to have begged and looked uncomfortable. Can we ask about the dinner with theresa may . Yes. Did you tell the german media what happened . Yes. Did you tell the german media what happened . , no never. I am shocked as to what was reported in the german press and repeated in the british media. Nothing like this happen. I had a good working dinner with theresa may, she was in good shape, she was fighting, as was her duty. She didnt plead with you for help . No, that is not the style of british Prime Ministers. Adam fleming, what is going on . That is a clear denial of everything that has been reported . I wonder if the reports in the german newspaper over the weekend were a compilation of various peoplesviews about what happened at the dinner rather than one senior person leaking a transcript, if you like of the whole thing, which is potentially what happened the last time this row blew up happened the last time this row blew up back in april in downing street. What i have been struck by is in a city like brussels, which is full of lea ks, city like brussels, which is full of leaks, the city like brussels, which is full of lea ks, the brussels city like brussels, which is full of leaks, the brussels establishment and the eu establishment tend rarely to address them. They dont want to give them substance, they bat them away and get on with business. Today has been a different story. First thing this morning we had Jean Claude Junckers chief of thing this morning we had jean claudejunckers chief of staff tweeting to deny he was the source of this, that any words of that nature had been spoken behind the scenes. Then we had the spokesperson, she is a regular doing press co nfe re nce spokesperson, she is a regular doing press conference is to journalists. She was stamping on this league. And thenjean claude she was stamping on this league. And then Jean Claude Juncker arriving here, saying completely clearly, in his view, the story did not come from him and it wasnt true. The reason he wanted to do that, the memo has gone out across the eu establishment to be positive about how the brexit talks are going and how the brexit talks are going and how theresa may is doing. The eu side of the equation wants to be negotiating with a stable, british Prime Minister who is able to do a deal and even make some compromises that might be difficult at home and also delivered the final brexit deal and get it through the british parliament. They have no interest on the eu side, talking down a british Prime Minister or destabilising theresa may as her position as Prime Minister. It is great you get to talk to them, butJean Claude Juncker had the same look in his eyes that Michel Barnier had when he he saw you last week . What can i say, iam he saw you last week . What can i say, i am everywhere and they cannot escape my camera and microphone. That is the thing about the eu, they are always doing speeches, Jean Claude Juncker, Michel Barnier, even though they are behind the scenes sort of people, they are always turning a bad things. Strasberg, is a good hunting ground, it is where the European Parliament has its official seat, so the big names come here every month. This month they are coming twice. So there is an opportunity to grab people and find out what they think about the Brexit Process. But i have about the Brexit Process. But i have a feeling they were hoping the Brexit Process was happening behind closed doors so any argument and disagreements were sorted out in private rather than with you, me and the rest of the world watching. Not necessarily in that order. Thank you very much. An undercover fbi agent has given a rare tv interview, telling how he infiltrated a radical islamist group, and helped foil an alqaeda plot to bomb the railway line between new york and toronto. The mans real identity has been disguised, he wore prosthetics and make up for the interview. Our security correspondent Frank Gardner reports. The longer its on, the more it becomes part of me. This man, not his real name, not his realface. As an active undercover fbi agent. This man has been given prosthetic make up to hide his identity before giving his first tv interview about why he risked his life to expose terrorist plots. Putting your arm around the bad guy and telling him youre his best friend. Getting him to commit and tell you all his secrets and all the evil inside him. And locking him up that way was much more challenging and intriguing to me, and i found that was my niche. It was the 9 11 attacks in 2001 that prompted him to offer his services to the fbi. A us muslim with egyptian parents, his fluent arabic later became invaluable. Using his cover name, he helped convict this man and his accomplice for plotting to bomb the toronto new york railway four years ago. I put on his clothes, his watch, his shoes, i drive his car, his wallet is in my pocket, his phone is on me. And i drive to the beach and i sit at the beach and i talk to myself out loud, like a crazy person, reciting everything there is to know about this man, his company, his family, his legend, over and over. And with a special adhesive. He was adamant hes not giving away any secrets. But his interview and his book give an insight into a double life most of us could never imagine possible. Frank gardner, bbc news. Well be talking about households and how relaxed they feel about their finances, but that is to come. First a look at the headlines on afternoon live. A new report finds corals, clams and baby a new report finds corals, clams and ba by ca rd a new report finds corals, clams and baby card could be affected by Carbon Dioxide emissions which are making boeotians more acidic. Heres your business headlines on afternoon live. Business groups representing millions of workers are warning jobs are at risk if there isnt a quick brexit transition deal. Five of the biggest groups in britain have put their names to a letter being sent to brexit secretary david davis saying time is running out. The Financial Conduct Authority says complaints about payment protection insurance are continuing to rise. They went up by almost a quarter in the first half of the year, tojust over a million. Consumers have until august 2019 to apply for compensation. There are now more than 2000 breweries in the uk. More since the 19305. There has been a 64 increase in breweries over the past five yea rs in breweries over the past five years and that has been boosted by increased sales of independent beers in clubs and supermarkets. Households, more relaxed about their finances, and butterflies in the face of what has been going on in the few months . This is from a Research Company called market. They say we are becoming less pessimistic about our Household Finances and more pessimistic about the national finance. It is because we are miserable about the news and pessimistic and perhaps households area bit pessimistic and perhaps households are a bit more pragmatic . We are cautious, rather than laden with doom and gloom. But we are expecting that over the next few months there could be a small increase in Interest Rates, which of course would impact Household Incomes. But the wood remember that inflation is now 3 , the highest it has been since 2012. We were talking about the fact incomes are not keeping up, only going up by 2. 1 . So real incomes on the way down, which makes it interesting that households have this optimism. The same survey said that Household Incomes have fallen for the First Time Since january. The worry is, people are borrowing more on credit cards and on personal loa ns. More on credit cards and on personal loans. That has got the bank of england worried. They said they dont want to allow a debt crisis so they are going to tighten up on personal loans. Lets get more on this from jeremy stretch, who joins us now. This from jeremy stretch, who joins us now. Jeremy, are peoplejust deluded when they are so optimistic about their prospects . deluded when they are so optimistic about their prospects . I wouldnt say be up optimistic, they are just less pessimistic. There is a modest improvement, but this comes off the back of the week as quarters 2014. There are still underlying issues you have touched upon, in terms of those negative levels of earnings growth. If we do see lending standards being tightened by the banks as we go into the beginning of 2018, the ability to maintain consumption, increased borrowing might be put on the sidelines beyond any increase in Interest Rates. It isa any increase in Interest Rates. It is a reduction of pessimism rather than saying anybody is more optimistic about the uk economic outlook. Going back to the bank of england, they are keen to encourage us england, they are keen to encourage us to spend more, to prop up the economy . Consumption does make up most of the economic activity, so in a sense there is an interest in terms of the bank of england maintaining conducive conditions. But they dont want to get into a scenario where people are borrowing too much and that was one of the legacies of the crisis constituents going back to 2008 and 2009. It is a balancing act for the bank of england. They want to maintain confidence but they dont want people to overdo their borrowing so they create problems further down they create problems further down the track. We have a new charge coming into Central London, which will affect the most dirty, the old est will affect the most dirty, the oldest vehicles. What impact will this on business . It is impacting older vehicle so it is bad news for motorists who have old vehicles. But the main cause of pollution is most likely to be commercial vehicles, which arent necessarily going to be impacted by this process. There are obviously changes in terms of the transport process, but i dont think necessarily, the t charge in itself will make a Material Impact on business. But some of those private individuals who own old cars, but not for the Business Community, i dont think it will have a major impact in the first instance. Jeremy stretch, thank you forjoining us. The markets . Shares in spire, the uk private hospital chain have been on the rise. This comes after the Company Rejected a takeover bid from a South African firm. Spire says that the offer significantly undervalues the business. That is, not interested no, not interested yes. Yes, come back with a better offer. But hares in Car Dealership Company pendragon have taken a dive after it issued a profit warning. It also said it was expecting a fall in demand. The pound is Holding Steady against the euro, but what we havent got is rbs. They have been under pressure because the Financial Conduct Authority may take further action against them because of the way they have been treating Small Businesses. But they are not there . They are not there. Thats all the business news. We have been hearing from scientists who said the oceans are becoming more acidic. Our science correspondent has been talking to sir David Attenborough about concerns on changes to the oceans. The mother walrus still needs to find a place where her young can rest. There was a very moving scene in episode one of a walrus mother trying to get her calf onto a piece of ice and there wasnt much left because its all melting. Whats your sense about the scale and rate of change in, for example, the arctic. I think that any sceptics that there were ten years ago or 20 years ago about Global Warming and so on and about Climate Change and there were lots, must surely be diminishing almost to vanishing point, when you see the evidence that we collected scientists around the world have collected of whats happening to our seas. And the fact that were responsible for that. Now youve talked about the fragility of the ocean and i know in one of the episodes you explore some of the threats that they face. What for you is, if you like, the most compelling argument that they are under threat . I suppose areas of bleached coral, in the last programme in which we deal with the problems facing the oceans, there are shots of big areas of coral reef that are white, bleached, crumbling deserts. And if youve ever seen a coral reef and you think what that once was, thats enough to make you weep. What is it that motivates you to remain engaged at this active pace, if i may say, at your age . But its so wonderful, so astonishing, what more do you want out of life . This amazing panoply of astonishment and beauty and intricacy and wonder and areas that we dont know about. Discovery in the Natural World is just never ending and a never ending delight. And david, youre obviously renowned for engaging younger audiences in the Natural World. What do you think about this series will most captivate younger people, what is it that you are hoping they will engage with . I suppose the complexity and the beauty of the underwater world and of the characters, the little things, the extraordinary behaviours of all these creatures doing so, and they are all so beautiful and extraordinary and so unlike anything that we encounter on ourdry land. The world of the underwater is just amazing. And sir David Attenboroughs new series, blue planet ii, begins on sunday at 8pm on bbc one. A british man diving off the western australian coast has had an amazing escape after he was separated from his boat and was stalked by a giant tiger shark. John craig, originally from sunderland, managed to swim four and half miles back to shore. Hes been speaking about what happened. Ijust kept my head in the water, watched what the big tiger shark was doing and he kept coming back towards me, he would circle me, dart in, i used my spear gun to try and fend it off and try and keep it a safe distance and then ijust knew the boat wasnt coming back, my only option was to swim to shore and i knew it was you know, seven and a half kilometres to get to the beach and thats an awful long swim with a big four metre tiger shark. The sharkjust kept pace behind me, every time i looked back i could see its huge head next to my fins and i had my spear gun pointed at my fins so it wouldnt get close enough to actually touch them. That is it from your afternoon live tea m that is it from your afternoon live team after our and our director barry. His last show after so many yea rs. Time for a look at the weather. Temperatures on the rise this week. The winds will be considerably lighter than they have been over recent days.

Thick, low cloud with some mist and hill fog and outbreaks of rain. Look how mild it will be in the far south west. That is the minimum temperature. Cooler towards the north east but the milder air will spread across the country tomorrow. With it, outbreaks of rain and as it clears we will be left with this trailing weather front. Damp all day for Northern England and the good pa rt for Northern England and the good part of wales. Brighter skies to the south. Very mild and generally cloudy. Highs of 18 degrees. Some of us cloudy. Highs of 18 degrees. Some of us will see cloud and outbreaks of rain, particularly in central areas. Best of the warmth in the south. This today at 5pm theresa may insists that important progress has been made, in the latest brexit negotiations. The Prime Minister reports back on last weeks summit, facing labour claims that her brexit approach is chaotic and damaging. By approaching these negotiations in a constructive way ina way in a friendly and cooperative way, we will deliver the best for our people. Here we are again after another round of talks and we are still no clearer as to where negotiations on britains future with our largest trading partner will actually begin. Also today, the European Commission president denies saying that mrs may had been despondent and begging for help last week. Well have the latest from westminster and brussels, and speaking to a former head of the cbi, on the calls for ministers to agree an urgent transitional brexit deal
