BBCNEWS Breakfast November 4, 2017

End for non league minnows hyde, who were given a Football League education by the Milton Keynes dons. And matt has the weather. Good morning. Wet start to the weekend for some but things will get drier, brighter and colder through the day with a few showers in the north and west. Full forecast coming up in the next 15 minutes. See you then. Good morning. First, our main story. The conservative mp, charlie elphicke, has been suspended by the party after it said serious allegations had been passed to the police. The party didnt specify what the allegations were or who had made them. Mr elphicke, a member of the commons treasury select committee, said the media had been told of his suspension first and he wasnt aware of the nature of the claims. Heres our Political Correspondent, chris mason. New allegations are emerging ever more frequently. Political parties accused by some of a previous unwillingness to be open about allegations they themselves were aware of now want to be seen to be acting quickly. This is charlie elphicke, the conservative mp for dover since 2010 who this morning wakes up no longer a tory mp, at least for now. Thats because last night the man in charge of discipline among conservative mps, the new chief whip julian smith, issued a statement in practice, this means mr elphicke remains in the commons but for now isnt a conservative mp. Charlie elphickes anger about how hes been treated is clear. He said he added meanwhile, the labour mp clive lewis has strongly denied an allegation of impropriety at the Labour Party Conference in september. I dont, as a rule, at packed Labour Party Conferences grope peoples bottoms when i greet them. Its just not how i roll, its just not what i do. This is a place gripped by trepidation about about what may come next. Individuals fearful for their own reputations, others fearful for the very reputation of politics excels. Others fearful for the very reputation of politics itself. Chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. Lets speak now to our Political Correspondent, emma vardy, whos in westminster. Emma, Political Correspondent is, mps, must be wondering when and where this is going to end . Political correspondence. A fraught week at westminster, you get the sense there are years if not decades of allegations about Sexual Misconduct thats coming to light. An addition to that report, this week we saw Michael Fallon, the defence secretary, resigned, damian green and mark garnier are under investigation by the cabinet office, Kelvin Hopkins suspended from labour and last night we heard the former labour cabinet minister ivan lewis apologised for making women feel uncomfortable but didnt make any nonconsensual sexual advances. Theresa may and Jeremy Corbyn are under pressure over this. Theresa may has published a new code of conduct for the conservatives, set up conduct for the conservatives, set upa new conduct for the conservatives, set up a new hotline and there will be an independent figure to oversee complaints and there will be a cross Party Complaints and there will be a cross Party Meeting on monday to establish an independent grievance procedure. You get the sense parties are braced for more allegations and more people coming forward and we dont know where this will end up. For now, thank you very much indeed. Police in new york say they have a viable case against the hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. The announcement came after actress paz de la huerta claimed that mr weinstein raped her twice in 2010. She is among dozens of women who have come forward since october to accuse the 65 year old of Sexual Misconduct. He has denied all allegations of non consensual sex. David willis reports. Recent weeks have seen a torrent of allegations against Harvey Weinstein. Now comes the first word of a possible arrest. New york detectives following up a call to the Department Last week are investigating an actresss claimed that the former movie mogul raped her twice back in 2010. They say the womans account is detailed and credible. We have an actual case here. We are happy with where the investigation is right now. Mr weinstein is out of state. We would need an arrest warrant to arrest him. So right now were gathering our evidence, we continue to do so every day. When some of hollywoods biggest names, among them Gwyneth Paltrow and angelina jolie, came forward to accuse Harvey Weinstein of Sexual Harassment he issued a statement emphatically denying any allegation of nonconsensual sex. Hes now under investigation here, in los angeles and in the uk as well. Like ripples in a pond, the accusations of misconduct against men of wealth and influence appeared to be growing rapidly. David willis, bbc news, los angeles. Netflix has cut all ties with kevin spacey, who plays the lead role in one of its most successful programmes, house of cards. The company said it would no longer be involved in the series if the actor continued to be part of it. The announcement came after mr spacey faced allegations of Sexual Misconduct from a string of men. A spanishjudge has issued european arrest warrants for the sacked Catalan Leader Carles Puigdemont and four of his allies who went to belgium. The five failed to attend a High Court Hearing in madrid on thursday when nine other ex members of the Regional Government were taken into custody, facing charges of rebellion, sedition and misuse of public funds for pursuing catalan independence. Mr puigdemont has said he will not return to spain unless he receives guarantees of a fair trial. The white house has attempted to downplay the findings of a major Climate Change report compiled by 13 us federal agencies. The report said it was extremely likely, meaning with 95 to 100 certainty that Global Warming is manmade, mostly from Carbon Dioxide through the burning of coal, oil and natural gas, contradicting senior trump officials. Trump kicks off an ii day trip to asia this weekend, taking in south korea, japan and china. It will be the longest tour of asia by a us president in 25 years. Before setting out he visited hawaiis pearl harbor to see a us battleship sunk by japanese bombers in the second world war, and received a security briefing from the us Pacific Command on issues including north Koreas Nuclear programme. 0nly around a half of fixed speed cameras in the uk are actually switched on, according to figures obtained through a freedom of information request. The data reveals that at least four Police Forces have no fixed speed cameras at all, and 13 have fewer than half actively catching speeding drivers. Alan clayton reports. For motorists caught out by them, they infuriate and bring a hefty fine. Safety campaigners argue speed cameras are lifesavers. New Research Suggests only around half of the luminous boxes throughout the uk are operational. The press association sent a freedom of information request to all of the 45 forces asking how many fixed speed cameras they had and how many were active. The 36 which responded had a total of 2838 cameras, of which only 52 were working. Forces in cleveland, durham and North Yorkshire said none of their fixed speed cameras were active. While northants said it turned its cameras off six years ago but left them in place to deter speeding. Those that replied said they used mobile speed cameras and regularly reviewed which cameras were turned on. I suspect in this case theyre thinking that the yellow boxes are there, theyre sending out the message that motorists ought to be recognising about risky roads, but theyre also increasingly looking to more advanced technology such as average speed cameras, or indeed better engineering of the road, which might have a more beneficial affect. The National Police Chiefs Council said the decision to use cameras was an operational matter and that all forces have individual responsibility for their use of the cameras. Alan clayton, bbc news. You wouldnt want to speed in this, you would want to prolong your journey so everyone had the time to ta ke journey so everyone had the time to take it in. It was fit for the king of rock n roll but how would it look in your driveway . Elvis presleys pink 1957 cadillac is up for sale at auction and after 30 years in a museum. Its expected to sell for 2 million. Do you want it . I have it on reserve for you for christmas. Maybe thats not your style, how about music . Whitney houstons grand piano, which was given to her as a gift by her husband bobby brown, is also going under the hammer, along with a nightgown that once belonged to jackie kennedy. I would look good in that. I would look good in thatlj i would look good in that. I think so. I would look good in that. I think so. There are a variety of dresses to choose from. I will swap the car for the nightgown for christmas. As long as you have the money mike will have the sport later and matt will have the sport later and matt will have the all important weather for this bonfire weekend. After a week of allegations, were starting to get details on how the Political Parties will deal with Sexual Assault and harrasment claims. The conservatives say theyll force all elected officials and their staff to sign a new code of conduct. Labour says it will appoint an independent organisation to offer help and support to those affected. Were joined now by jasmin beckett, she sits on labours Ruling National Executive Committee and had written toJeremy Corbyn calling for a review on how the party dealt with claims. Thanks very much for that coming in. A week of allegations, did you think it would be like this by the end of this week and still so much uncertainty about whats to follow . No. When the first thing came out we we re no. When the first thing came out we were in an nec meeting and we had just finished talking about the Sexual Harassment policy, which we had been working on all day, and discussing it for approval and then this started coming out and when the first came out, bex bailey, and she told us about her experiences, it was then inevitable that other people would feel able to come forward. Bex bailey said she was attacked, she was raped a few years ago as a labour party worker. You have e mailed Jeremy Corbyn calling for an independent investigation, have you had any response . Yeah. I was really happy yesterday that he and mcnicol, the Party General secretary, gave a response to that and they have put things in place ian macnicol. They are launching an independent investigation into the bex bailey case in particular. Weve now got a 24 hour hotline for those that want to come forward and give any of their experiences and make any complaints, we are making that much more apparent, and looking at training and maybe looking at the tentative measures. One of the issues that have come out, and we discussed this this week, the speed at which all politicians have reacted to these allegations or rumours 01 reacted to these allegations or rumours or complaints. Bex bailey was one of those who made her concerns very clear and they were passed through and they werent acknowledged. What do you think. How do you think that reflects on the labour party . I think itsjust really important now that we move forward. These past experiences are the reason why were in this position now and why we realise there needs to be strong action on this. We have a party of 500,000 members now and its really crucial we are acting quickly whenever these things come forward, not only to protect those that have had these experiences but also to protect anyone else from having those experiences. You mentioned labour was setting up this independent way of people being able to complain but it is labour setting up that independent process, i wonder whether people will have faith in it and confidence in it if they have a grievance that within politics, we know how competitive and difficult politics can be, that they will be really treated independently . really treated independently . really hope that something we can go with moving forward. 0bviously really hope that something we can go with moving forward. Obviously the independent investigation is just into the bex bailey case at the moment but one of the things im calling for as i said on the nac and the Equalities Committee in particular is to look at future complaints as well nec. Particular is to look at future complaints as well nec. As a young person in politics, i dont know if you want to be an mp Going Forward , know if you want to be an mp Going Forward, but when you see whats been happening and the allegations, what does that make you think about being involved in this . It really saddens me to be honest. Ive been involved for six years since i was 15, so these are people coming forward who ive gone through the party with so it saddens me and it makes me look at whether i want to go into that in the future. As long as we can take a positive step forward now, i hope we can get young people who want to get involved in politics a positive view of that. Its been spoken about that its a generational thing and through the yea rs generational thing and through the years people have adjusted their behaviour. Have realised what is acceptable, in terms of men and women interacting. Does it feel that westminster is a good few steps behind Decent Society . Weve got to behind Decent Society . Weve got to be clear that Sexual Harassment was Never Acceptable and i think thats one thing at the moment we are saying, ten years ago it was fine. It was never find. Saying, ten years ago it was fine. It was neverfind. Itsjust saying, ten years ago it was fine. It was never find. Its just that. Its been brushed under the carpet. Thats what the allegations are with many of the cases. It was ignored or pushed aside. So in a way it was just seen as what goes on. That isnt acceptable. Its really sad andi isnt acceptable. Its really sad and i think thats why we are now in and i think thats why we are now in a much better position to deal with this, because society, and as weve seenin this, because society, and as weve seen in hollywood, knows that this type of behaviour isnt acceptable. But does westminster . type of behaviour isnt acceptable. But does westminster . I hope this scandal will make westminster think about it. I dont think in the past it has seen this as fully unacceptable. Thank you. Heres matt with a look at this mornings weather. You have worn a special tie for us a closer look. Hopefully there will be some sparkling displays out there tonight and hopefully the weather will play ball as well. The day will turn brighter, but also colder, after what has been a very wet start for some. This is the view a short time ago in leicestershire from our weather watcher. Not a great start. But things will improve. The colder air brings clearer conditions. You will notice the extensive cloud across the uk at the moment and it is in england where we have the heaviest and most persistent rain. Suffolk and towards kent, not too much rain at the moment. It will turn more weight around lunchtime. Central and Eastern England will have further persistent rain. Drying out in the west. A couple of showers into mid morning. There will be some brea ks into mid morning. There will be some breaks in the cloud bit of sunshine coming through. And and northern ireland. Here, a few showers and a chilly breeze, which will strengthen through the day. Showers become more abundant for the north and west in northern ireland. A couple of showers in the western parts of england and wales between the sunnier moments and eventually those sunnier moments and eventually those sunnier moments and eventually those sunnier moments will work in the east of england, although we will hold on to the cloud. A bit of rain in the parts of norfolk and suffolk. Note temperatures, it gets colder. Up note temperatures, it gets colder. Up to nine degrees as we finished the afternoon. Inner west you will probably need something waterproof this evening. In the west. Eastern england should be dry and clear. Temperatures will drop further steer overnight. We could have some frost into sunday morning and across the boa rd temperatures into single figures. Some frost in eastern parts of england. A cold start to sunday, but in eastern areas much brighter. Still showers around in much of england and northern scotland. Heavy thunder and snow on higher ground. Showers fewer in number through the day, at a few more towards the north sea coast later. For many sunday afternoon will be dry and clear. Chilly in the breeze. For tomorrow even in, evening, much cooler. Showers fewer. Frost forming in scotland. That will lift as the cloud pushes into the night and into monday morning, but elsewhere across england and wales frost will gradually developed. For some of you monday morning will have a frosty start and there will be some oscillating temperatures through next week. Some days will be cold, some will be mild. Back to you. Thanks very much. We are talking about water f
