hope, just to show that the place is open again and what the terrorists did will not overcome us. in sport, captainjoe root calls on his england team to do ‘something special‘ in the ashes this winter, after wrapping up a series win over west indies and eloise has the weekend whether. good morning. and northwest southeast split this sunday. it looks as though we will see heavy rain and strong wind across north—west england that will drift south and east. for southern and eastern england it should stay dry during the daylight hours. good morning. first, our main story. hurricane force winds have begun to batter southern florida as irma approaches. water levels are rising on the coast of the state, where a huge storm surge is expected. florida's governor has warned irma will be ‘deadly‘ and has urged residents who haven't yet evacuated to head to emergency shelters. there was widespread destruction in cuba, where a million people were evacuated.

the storm had weakened to a category three hurricane, but is expected to strengthen before it makes landfall in florida in the next few hours. our north america correspondent, jane o'brien, reports from miami. the west coast was supposed to be the safer part of florida as the east prepared to bear the brunt of a hurricane irma. but now cities like tampa and naples in the path of a category 4 hurricane. tampa has not seen anything like this since 1921 and is ill—prepared for such a storm. at fort myers, thousands of people crowded into a sports stadium ina people crowded into a sports stadium in a last—minute dash to find somewhere safe. i think we are going to be stating here for two nights, maybe three. we really don't know where the storm is going to go so we have no way of knowing. we are waiting for it to start and end. burma could shift course again.

hurricanes are notorious for sudden warbles. that the giant system is already too close to make much difference. this is a deadly storm and our state has never seen anything like it. millions will see major hurricane impacts with deadly, deadly, deadly storm surge. meanwhile, the low—lying keys were being menaced with a 15 foot storm surge as it moved towards the mainland. tornado watchers were also in place. in miami there was a collective sigh of relief. the city looks likely to escape the deadly tone. and hurricane force winds are still expected through sunday. an estimated 75,000 people are now thought to be taking refuge in shelters. 0ver thought to be taking refuge in shelters. over 6 million have been asked to leave their homes in the biggest evacuation in the history of florida. 0f biggest evacuation in the history of florida. of the entire state is expected to suffer. the only

question now is how much. the uk government is deploying extra troops to help the relief effort in the caribbean. engineers have now completed work on the airport runway in the british virgin islands to allow the first aid flight to land there. a command headquarters will also be set up. the defence secretary, michael fallon, says relief operations are now well under way. we have two, free flights going out each day bringing more troops and engineers, medicalsupport, each day bringing more troops and engineers, medical support, pallets ofaid and engineers, medical support, pallets of aid and additional civilian police and helicopters to make sure that the aid can be properly distributed around the island. the relief operation now is well under way. 111,000 people attended the re—opening of the manchester arena last night, less than four months after 22 people were killed in a terrorist attack at the venue. noel gallagher, rick astley and peter kay were among the performers at the "we are manchester" show. a bbc investigation has discovered that the bodies of more than 400

children could be buried in a mass grave close to an orphanage in scotland. the children were residents of the smyllum care home in lanarkshire, which was run by catholic nuns until it closed in 1981. 0ur social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan, reports. this is st mary ‘s roman catholic cemetery. small and well—kept. this is st mary ‘s roman catholic cemetery. smalland well—kept. but in the far corner, a mass grave. an investigation by the sunday post newspaper has found that leased 400 children are believed to be buried here. most died of natural causes like tuberculosis and ammonia. francis mccaw was staying at the home when in 1961. we are told that he is one of the children in the

graves. 100 and 20, 100 and 50. at least 120. the care home closed in 1981. it had been open for 117 yea rs. 1981. it had been open for 117 years. in 2004, the nuns who ran it acknowledged that some children who had the idea had been buried at st mary ‘s but the records were too poor to say how many titbit that records are key to find out what happened. want to find out who died here, we can start asking where they have been buried. the more we ask this question, the more we are astonished to be told that there are virtually no burial records for any of the names on that was. the daughters of charity did not comment on ourfindings. and they daughters of charity did not comment on our findings. and they say the ongoing child abuse enquiry was the most —— relevant forum in which to

investigate. rohingya muslim rebels in myanmar have declared a unilateral one—month ceasefire, saying they want to ease the humanitarian crisis in the country. rebel attacks on security forces triggered a two—week military campaign, during which nearly 300,000 rohingyas fled to neighbouring bangladesh. soldiers have been accused of carrying out killings and burning villages. the fifteenth series of strictly come dancing began last night, as the celebrity contestants were matched with their professional partners. new head judge, shiley ballas, also made her debut, following len goodman's retirement. tributes were paid to the show‘s former host sir bruce forsyth who died in august at the age of 89. presenters tess daly and claudia winkleman said everyone "missed him dearly". what a routine. he would have loved that. and his wife, his children

grandchildren and great—grandchildren, everyone, eve ryo ne great—grandchildren, everyone, everyone here we miss him. he was a legend to so people but to us he was bruce and his hard work and, dedication and professionalism helped to make the show what it is today. didn't he do well? a special tribute they are. it was really beautifully done last night. we will talk more about that little later in the programme. approaching nine minutes past six. let's return to our top story now and florida is bracing itself for the full force of hurricane irma. the storm hit cuba on friday, where officials say it caused "significa nt damage". 0ur correspondent, will grant, is in cuba's capital, havana. he's been assessing how the country has been coping. well, it has been an extraordinary experience being in cuba during hurricane irma and now it is

reaching, it has reached havana. this is the bbc have an bureau and i'm speaking from inside because we simply cannot outside any longer. we are in the building, miraculously we still have electricity but much of the rest of the building does not have that. as you can see behind me, the window is flexing with the winds that are buffeting the city and it is raining very, very hard out there. that, of course, is nothing in comparison to watch cubans further east on the island have already experienced. these are just the last vestiges, really, of hurricane irma as she moves out of cuban hurricane irma as she moves out of cu ban territory and hurricane irma as she moves out of cuban territory and into clearwater between cuba and the united states before making landfall in florida. but we are still feeling the effects of the sheer magnitude of this storm. 0ur east along the northern coastal zone, whole villages were

hit very hard by the storm, we understand that some were largely submerged underwater. 0thers understand that some were largely submerged underwater. others have had ruth ripped off. scores of houses, many of the roughly1 million people who were evacuated from the area, may have no homes to go to. for now, from here in bbc havana bureau, it feels really liked the time to hunker down, batten down the time to hunker down, batten down the hatches and wait out the re m na nts of the hatches and wait out the remnants of this massive storm. we will have more on the progress of the hurricane throughout the programme. that story makes the front pages of some of the newspapers but we will start elsewhere. the sunday telegraph talking about plans and the conservative party to cut student loa n conservative party to cut student loan rates in a bid to win back the youth vote. pictures of the strip

would come dancing the front of the sunday times, blair gets tough on mild migrants. it criticises the policy that the labour leader had as far as immigration was concerned. the key issue as those negotiations for brexit continued. you see down the bottom here they have put a price on the cost of the hurricane. much damage is still to be assessed by £150 billion is what is so far expected to have cost. many european flags being weighed last night at the proms. and on the front page of the proms. and on the front page of the observer, a picture from cuba and you can see the way the trees are being blown sideways. they say they are in desperate need of aid. we know, as we have already mentioned, the british military have been swung into action and are on their way to help out. the lead story concerns a cut in income 2 million poorfamilies

story concerns a cut in income 2 million poor families by story concerns a cut in income 2 million poorfamilies by the end of the decade, according to an analysis. on the front of the sunday sun this morning, paul hollywood pictured their wearing a nazi uniform at a party. that was at a pub in kent. no idea of the date of when this took place. i think it is pre— bake off days, isn't it? 32010. not much else to say. it's been more than three months since 22 people were killed in a terrorist attack at a pop concert in the manchester arena. the venue has been closed since then, but last night, it hosted its first event since the incident. a host of acts performed at the "we are manchester" show, including mancunian royalty, noel gallagher's high flying birds. 0ur entertainment correspondent colin paterson there, and sent us this report. # slow, sally can wait... manchester arena united in song. headliner knou arena united in song. headliner knoll gallagher leading the capacity crowd in don't look back in anger

which became an answer of unity after the terror attack in may. # don't look back in anger, don't look at in anger i heard you say. earlier, outside the venue it was all different. and there was heightened security with armed police and the longer than usual search is on the way in. that was not stopping those going from having fun. even if many were experiencing mixed emotions. 0bviously fun. even if many were experiencing mixed emotions. obviously there is a little bit of fear but not as much as excitement. the overriding emotion of hope just to show that the events open again and what the terrorists did will not overcome us. his family had purchased tickets for the show despite having been in the foyer when the terrorist bomb went off. scary, nervous but we are here for the 22 people who died. we need to make memories. they can make memories any more. inside, the first

people to sit in these seats since the bomb exploded in may. before the concert, greater manchester's mayor read the names of the 22 victims. and then the poets started proceedings. we should give something back. tonight we will. always remember. never forget. beer clack decline up also featured peter kay. —— at the eclectic lineup also featured peter kay. afterwards the consensus was that it had been a very special night. buzzing. we came together what a gig! what a gig! i can't believe everyone came together like this. incredible. you are proud to be mancunian. and as for the

langridge family on their return to the family —— arena? how was walking through the foyer? no fracking. we had to do it. we will be coming back so we had to do it. this is the first of manyjourneys back. so we had to do it. this is the first of many journeys back. -- nerve racking. this gig will raise money for a permanent memorial for those who died and also to show that manchester arena is open for business. that must have been quite an occasion for everybody there last night. here is louise with a look at this morning's weather. we will start with the in the caribbean. hurricane irma, we have, and jose as well. we know the evacuation continues. yes, and

hurricane irma is slow—moving, about 70 miles offshore from the florida keys. 0vernight, jose i am pleased to say brush to the north of the leeward isles and it will weaken considerably over the next day or so. considerably over the next day or so. hurricane irma stilljust to the north of cuba, and she is likely to arrive in the florida keys around lunchtime. and that overnight our time, uk time, pushing further north. a lot of heavy rain associated with that, damaging gusts of wind but the storm surge could come as the rain moves further north and the wind starts to drive that water in from the shore. so we are going to keep an eye on this one. it is still a significant monster of a storm, and there is the potential still for it to be upgraded still to strengthen a little further, although it has weakened overnight before it makes landfall in florida. closer to home, a wet and windy start to the far north—west. a contrast to the south—east,

sunshine, early—morning mist and fog could be an issue if you are on the roads in the next hour or so, particularly in parts of the vale of york, 0xfordshire and east anglia. you will start off dry and relatively sunny. cloud along west facing coasts of cornwall, a scattering of isolated showers but the main bulk of rain starting to show its hand through northern ireland scotland. this is an area of low pressure. the winds will strengthen. the rain will move through it and it will turn quite showery. the showers at times will be so perfect they will merge together for longer spells of rain. for the great north run it could be a cloudy start, but predominantly dry with a little bit more shelter in eastern areas. as you can see, much of central and eastern areas starting off dry. the frontal system will move through, a weak affair as it does so, and it will be showery, lighter rain here but showers to the north and west will be frequent and heavy, with hail and thunder, accompanied by some strong and gusty winds. staying dry during daylight

hours across south—east england. here we could see 1819 degrees. in the cloud, wind and rain it will feel cool for the time of year. 13 to 15 at the best. some gales for a time through the bristol channel during the early hours of monday morning. plenty of frequent showers expected during monday. sunny spells, scattered showers, again some with hail and thunder. spells, scattered showers, again some with hail and thunderlj spells, scattered showers, again some with hail and thunder. i got com pletely some with hail and thunder. i got completely caught out in the rain yesterday, watching my son play football, drenched! sunny one-minute and raiding the next. it is time now for the film review, with jane hill and mark kermode. among the releases they are looking at are wild river and it. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases, welcome back, mark. what have you watched

in the last few weeks? very interesting week. we have wind river. we have insyriated, a very tough and tense drama, set in damascus. and it, stephen king's classic comes to the big screen. it may be a classic. we'll talk about that later. you're such a horror fan! let's start with wind river. i watched the trailer for this in awe when i went to see detroit. even the trailer is visually stunning. but so stark. yeah, written and directed by taylor sheridan, saying it's the conclusion of a trilogy about the modern american frontier. it's set in wyoming on a native american reservation. there's the death of a young woman at the start, which brings together two characters. 0ne isjeremy renner‘s hunter, tracker, who is dealing with his own issues of grief and guilt. the other is an fbi agent played

by elizabeth 0lsen who is basically — she's in vegas beforehand — she arrives completely unprepared, a total outsider, not even the right clothes for the job. immediately everybody thinks, what's she doing here? here's a clip. i'mjane banner. are you by yourself? yeah, just me. i'm the tribal police chief. that's cory lambert. he found the body. this is his father—in—law, dan. we got the same job, hey. i'm sorry to meet under these circumstances. so do you want to show me the body? i don't mean to be rude, i'm just freezing my ass off here. the quicker the better. that's going to get a lot worse if you go out there dressed like that.

the body is five miles on a snowmobile. i'm afraid you'd be dead by the time we got there. i got the call and this is what i've got. at the beginning there's hostility towards her character. but she's very tenacious. in order to pursue the case she needs a tracker on board. this isjeremy renner‘s character. you saw from that clip how much of it's to do with the environment, to do with the landscape. you said watching a trailer made you feel... i was cold by the end of the trailer! it was extraordinary visually. i thought, whoa, this is going to be bleak. that chilliness goes all the way through the drama. and actually, though it is a murder mystery investigation with a sort of labyrinthine plot, it's really about this land, about people being forced to live in a land never meant for anyone to live in it, about the hardship, the difficulty of that life, about the community. and what i like about the film is it's very sympathetic towards its characters. it's all to do with placing and setting. that wyoming backdrop is really brutal. jeremy renner is well cast.

he tends to underplay emotions. a lot is said by doing and saying very little. elizabeth 0lsen i think is terrific as the character who arrives from the outside and has to prove her way and prove that she's worthy of this case. and during the course of the film, you really come to see her character understand the bleakness of this landscape, the difficulties that the people who live here face. so i think it's a very, very solid, very gripping drama. bizarrely, when you consider that it is narratively a murder—mystery thriller, it's much more about environment. it's about place. it's about those people. it's about the plight of the indigenous people. 0k. insyriated, your second choice. this is a drama, not a documentary. yes, absolutely a drama. set in damascus. there's an apartment block in which a family and others in the block are trapped inside by sniperfire and helicopters and gunfire outside. and what happens is that there is a character who is the matriarch, hiam abbass, who is brilliant,

who is controlling, looking after everybody in the apartment block. there is a young couple, who have a young baby, who are planning to leave. they're going to make their getaway at nighttime. but then what happens is tragedy strikes. there is an air of deception that surrounds the tragedy, because our central character doesn't tell what she knows. and somehow through this deception it's as if the outside conflict comes in. so what you then have is a series of characters trapped within this really hellish environment in which there is a lie that they are dealing with. there is a knock at the door, it turns into something approaching a home invasion movie and it becomes very, very claustrophobic. filmed with very tight hand—held cameras following you around the apartment. you feel the space. at times, although it's a completely different setting, it did remind me of under the shadow, another story about conflict outside and a mother and a daughter dealing with the...

there's a shell that's come through the roof, but it's also a ghost story. and in many ways this is a story about there being a ghost in this house. it's tough. there is a central sequence which is very, very hard to watch. though it was very well filmed, not exploitatively filmed. 0ccasionally it drifts over into melodrama. it's a tough film in which you believe in the characters and in the battles between them and the stresses that they're under. you really do feel this oppressive environment that they‘ re living under. all right. now, the third choice. i don't know why i'm laughing. because you're right to laugh. because you're back from your summer holidays, you thought, i know, i'll give jane one that she just will not like at all, because it's not my thing. i think you will do. this is it. i love your optimism! it's an adaptation of a stephen king doorstopper novel, which has been done, there's a very famous tv version with tim curry as pennywise the dancing clown, the really demonic presence.

so the story is basically, a group of kids living in a town, who are all haunted by visions that seem to tap into their deepest fears. and somehow there's a central character, it of the title, who seems to be feeding upon theirfears. it starts with a sequence which has become iconic, in which young georgie meets pennywise. here's a clip. no! ah! hiya, georgie. what a nice boat. do you want it back? um... yes, please. you look like a nice boy. do you want a balloon, too, georgie? i'm not supposed to take stuff from strangers. oh, well, i'm pennywise, the dancing clown. now we aren't strangers, are we?

how are you feeling? this has provoked so much debate in the newsroom today. i am the only person surrounded in a sea of people who had no desire to go any further than that scene. here's the thing. yes, it's a horror story, there is a strong horror element, but actually what it is is a coming—of—age drama about a group of kids called the losers, who gang together to try and find this mythical evil, to try and unravel this curse that's happening time and time again to the town. and the films that it refers to are poltergeist to some extent, the goonies, there's nods to et, there's a touch of stand by me in there. it's absolutely a film which works, because the director cares about the young characters. he cares about the misfits, the outsiders. you come to care about them too. yes, it is, there are, moments of fear, moments of shock, jumps. anybody who finds clowns fundamentally creepy is going to be very impressed by bill

skarsgard's performance. incidentally, he does a very good job of filling tim curry‘s clown shoes. he does it brilliantly. but it's an adventure. i mean, it's a horror—inflected adventure, but it is an adventure. this is only the early years of the novel. there's a section of the grown—up years. this is chapter one. there's going to be a second one. there is. this owes a debt to some extent to nightmare on elm street. at one point the kids go past a cinema showing that. there's a lot of freddy krueger in there. and there's a score that goes from lush orchestral adventure music to nursery rime chimes, the strange, twisted... you're not buying this. it's a romp. it's really enjoyable. it's really good fun and it's scary when it needs to be. personally, i would have liked it to be more scary. i still remember the first time i saw pennywise the clown, and you do get those moments, but i really liked it. what was best about it was how affectionate it is for the source material.

i think fans will really go for it. let's talk about the wonderful bill nighy. yes, limehouse golem is terrific. it came out last week. it's a story set in 18805 london. there is a killer stalking the streets. bill nighy‘s detective is sent to investigate it. they know it's an unsolvable case and they want him to take the fall. the film is about theatre, the theatre of murder, the theatre of death and real life. so on the one hand, half of it takes place on stage, music hall, half of it takes place in the morgue and out on these misty streets. a lot of hammer in the way in which it's lit, the way in which it's ghoulish. very visual. music hall. yes, and funnily enough, people haven't quite appreciated enough what a good—looking film it is. it's brilliantly written by jane goldman, who adapted the novel. it's a complicated novel to put on screen. i really liked it. danny mays was wonderful.

i'm a big fan of his. i think you'll enjoy. it it is gory. it is gorier than it. there is gothic gore in there. you see, there's a line between that and being scared out of your wits. actually, here's what you should do, see both of them and then tell me which you enjoyed the most. good plan, mark, back—to—back, with a bottle of gin to get me through it! i shouldn't advocate that, this might be on in the morning. we'll edit that bit, right? let's talk about the dvd. yeah, actually, blu—ray, shock treatment has come to blu—ray. shock treatment is the sequel to rocky horror. it was described as an equal, not prequel or sequel. when it first came out, it was pretty much ignored. it's a mess, no question about it. the creator said it's a mess because it started as one thing and turned out as another. what's really interesting is it's become incredibly prescient. it's about a world taken over by reality television. people thinking that they can solve all of their problems by going in sitting in a tv studio in taking part in a game show. the songs are fabulous, the dance routines are fabulous.

when it came out, i thought this is a mess but i'm enjoying it. this is a mess but it's nightmarishly prophetic, and i really like it. i could handle that one. lovely to see you back... just about. nice to see you. see you next week. just a reminder, you'll find all ourfilm news and reviews from across the bbc online. and you can find all the previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that is it for this week. whatever you're brave enough to go and see, i hope you enjoy it. soft drinks are available! thanks very much for watching. have a great week, bye—bye. hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and rachel burden. coming up before seven,

louise will have the weather. but first, a summary of this morning's main news. hurricane force winds have begun to batter southern florida as irma approaches. more than six million people have been told to evacuate and water levels are rising at the coast, where a huge storm surge is expected. florida's governor has warned irma will be ‘deadly‘ and president trump has urged people to seek shelter. this is a storm of enormous destructive power and we ask everybody to heed instructions and get out of its way. government officials, i know you are working ha rd officials, i know you are working hard and! officials, i know you are working hard and i appreciate your bravery. property is replaceable but lives are not. property is replaceable but lives a re not. safety property is replaceable but lives are not. safety has to come first. just get out of its way. meanwhile cuba is counting the cost after the storm battered its north coast.

are here. they are assessing this ru nway are here. they are assessing this runway as a priority and that is because they need to get aid in and people out. there has also been concern about looting that i am being told by the deputy governor that they are trying to get things under control. there is still a lot of work to do here. 14,000 people attended the re—opening of the manchester arena last night — less than four months after 22 people were killed in a terrorist attack at the venue. noel gallagher, rick astley and peter kay were among the performers at the "we are manchester" show. a bbc investigation has found more than 400 children could be buried in a mass grave, close to an orphanage in lanarkshire. the children — who mostly died from disease such as tb and pneumonia — had all been residents at the smyllum care home. it was run by catholic nuns until it closed in 1981. it was previously thought closer to 150 children were buried at the site. kim jong—un has attended a

celebration to congratulate the scientists behind last week's powerful nuclear test. television shows including the crowds and enjoying the entertainment. the nuclear activities of the regime have faced widespread condemnation. egyptian archaeologists have discovered the tomb of a royal goldsmith that they say is more than 3000 years old. it was found on the bank of the river nile in the city of luxor. among the items inside are the mummies of a woman and her two adult children, along with a statue. authorities say they hope the find will lead them to more ancient artefacts. such amazing condition. it is incredible that we can still find things. and now, time for a hit with hugh. and anderson still rocking it

at the tender age of 40? here's an unbelievable player and always has been. seven wickets in the second innings yesterday, an unbelievable performance from him. fantastic for the new captain as well. two series wins from two. what will it mean as we approach the ashes at the end of the year? england captainjoe root says his players have the opportunity to do something special in the ashes this winter after they wrapped up a 2—1 series win over the west indies james anderson completed an impressive summer with seven wickets in the windies second innings. it left england with a total of 107 to chase to win the third test, losing just one wicket in the process and while some questions remain over parts of the batting line up — the result does give root optimism ahead of the tour to australia. we have plenty of time now to start planning and thinking even more than we have done before about the challenges that lie ahead. it is a great opportunity for this group of

players to go do something special dharma. if we continue to take the same approach and attitude that we have across the summer, we will have a really good chance. barring mishap, misfortune or a miracle, chris froome will win cycling's vuelta a espana, this afternoon and become only the third rider to win that and the tour de france in the same year. the team sky rider extended his lead on the penultimate stage with his rivals struggling on the final climb. today's stage is largely a procession into madrid. it'll be the first time froome has won the vuelta and the first time any rider has done the rare double since the spanish tour was placed after the french one in the calendar in 1995. from the spanish capital to the welsh one today as cardiff is the destination for the conclusion the tour of britain. dutchman lars bohm has an eight second lead — finishing in the peleton on yesterday's stage into cheltenham. manchester city have drawn level on points with manchester united at the top of the premier league. city thrashed ten—man liverpool 5—0 while united dropped points at stoke city. patrick gearey rounds up yesterday's premier league action. seasons change fast. just ask

meteorologists at mancunians or managers. liverpool had been going so managers. liverpool had been going so well but brought that asks around attacking, there are still groans at the back. and looked so simple for manchester city to roll in the opening goal. turning point of the game was also the talking point. this challenge on the goalkeeper was seen as an this challenge on the goalkeeper was seen as an acceptably reckless by the referee. he was sent off, the other stretchered off. he was patched up at liverpool were not. scoreline for city a resounding statement. there had been inside the promised to manchester united as well. it seemed to be going the master plan when they were to up against stoke. not much longer later and for the second time in the match they forgot about this player. the perfect start a sober. in another

other public run like that is so well supported. no matter what the weather is, bearded wind, rain or hail, people come out in their thousands to support you. it is brilliant. you are carried along by this wave of support. professionals and amateurs, clearly. so well supported. a massive turnout. 57 amateur runners. as you say, so well supported. just to talk about mo farah briefly. he has won, hasn't it? yes, he has. he is going to a re cord it? yes, he has. he is going to a record equalling fourth win. his back on the road now, he is going to the road now, this will be a bit of an indication for us how he is progressing. we know he is good over this half marathon distance. we will see how he is building. great on the track so far this year. good luck to eve ryo ne track so far this year. good luck to everyone taking part this year. and we are thinking of you right now. in

field in terms of the serious runners here? how good is the competition? we know mo farah will have a difficult race on his hands. the person that people really are coming out to sea today. he could be getting his fourth win here newcastle. is so popular with the crowd. interrupted here last year as he came across a leading all of the fun runners. the other person people might look out for is the person starting the race didn't brendan foster, a well—known commentator. he will be starting it for the first time and he has been heavily involved since the race started in 1981. he has never stood here and seen 1981. he has never stood here and seen that spectacle of watching the tens of thousands of people cross the line. it really is quite a spectacle to see and that will be happening just after half ten this morning. i think yes, when you start

a race like that you have to have padding on your hand, is absolutely eve ryo ne padding on your hand, is absolutely everyone slats your hand as you go through. if you can imagine 50,000 people waiting your hand... a good motivation, the cloud out there cheering you on. —— slaps your hand. you can watch all the action at the great north run on bbc one from 9:30am this morning. here is louise with a look at this morning's weather. how is it looking? well, there are to make things i want to clarify for you to start with. through the night, jose has moved to the north of the leeward isles, and that looks likely to stay pretty stationary for the next few days, and hopefully we can. hurricane irma has been downgraded to category 3 but is still a significant storm —— hopefully weaken. it could still

strengthen as it pushes across the warmer waters. whether it is a category 3 or category 4, it is an enormous storm and will cause major damage as it pushes further north, particular once the storm passes through and we see that huge storm surge expected. pushing through florida keys by lunchtime our time and mainland florida through the night tonight. closer to home, low pressure is the driving story for us, bringing some cloud, some wind, some rain across the north—west and into northern ireland in particular. some of that rain will be quite heavy for a time. elsewhere it is a chilly. we shouldst be a little bit of sunshine but some early—morning fog in central and eastern england at the moment. —— should see. it should be predominantly dry. a little bit of early morning sunshine in newcastle. it will not last but

it will cloud cover. hopefully it will stay dry for most of the morning. and some heavy rain accompanied by strong winds. this weather front is going to push its way steadily eastwards, so we start off the great north run cloudy, but towards the end of the day, the lunchtime, we might see some showery rain coming through. as the front pushes its way east, it will weaken off quite considerably. a band of showery rain making its way across the pennines, through wales and into the pennines, through wales and into the west country. these little fellas are going to be more significant. some pretty intense showers merging together for longer spells of rain. heavy, with hail, thunder, and accompanied by gale force winds. a miserable afternoon in the scotland and northern ireland, 12 to 16 degrees the highest values in the south—east. we could see severe gales developing for a time through the bristol channel overnight, and then sunny spells and scattered showers for all of us to start our new working week. thank you very much. more from

louise a little later. we will keep an eye on what is happening in the caribbean as it heads towards florida. we will be back with the headlines at 7:00am. now on breakfast, it is time for the travel show. this week on the travel show, i'm in sweden, finding out i'll be trying to get snug under the duvet in subzero temperatures. you have a good night's sleep. thanks, stefan, i'll bejust chilling here. and carmen is injapan, facing her food fears, as she takes on her latest taste challenge. it's quite overpowering. this might take a bit of getting used to. japan's food can bejust jaw—dropping, and most people

new to the country make a beeline for the yakatori joints or sushiers that you'll find everywhere. i've lived here in tokyo for over three years now and i love japanese food. but there's still some ifind quite intimidating. so, with a little help from my translator, yoko... carmen. ..i'm taking my taste buds on a trip through this country to try and understand what i'm missing out on. this leg brings me back to my adopted home town, tokyo. and to a food that inspires genuine affection here. so this is natto. natto is soya beans that have been left to ferment into a kind of stringy goo. the secret is a colony of bacteria called bacillus subtilis. it's a well—liked, popular breakfast with, they say, significant health benefits. why does it have to be

so gooey and slimy? for tourists, let's just say it's an acquired taste. tastes a bit like medicine. if i'm ever going to learn to appreciate natto, it's going to take resolve and research. arigato. and you have to cover all your hair. all my hair! oh, dear. so yoko takes me to a little place she knows in nearby ibaraki. 0k. oh, you can smell the soya beans already. it's really, really strong. and you can smell straw. what is in here? it's natto bacteria. natto bacteria. cultured especially for natto. 0k. sojust spray like this.

that's enough. that's it. so, they put in like a straw container and they put it in a fermentation room for like 18 hours and then you will see slimy thing. 0k. have you ever considered making natto a bit less slimy for encouraging people like myself? it's possible. so tell me about the health benefits of natto. studies have indeed shown natto is probiotic and may also help thin the blood, reducing the severity of strokes and heart attacks. it's pretty hot in there. i must admit i've never been to a natto factory before.

and i guess i got used to the smell by the end of it. what really got me was the health benefits, so... i'll do it for my health. back in tokyo, south—west of the centre, there's one place that's got to be high up on the list of many natto fans. this is a cafe and shop that specialises in one type of food. ah! this is mascot of natto. mr slimy. mr slimy, you'rejoking! that's brilliant. i need help. i need you to help me like natto. seaweed. this one has seaweed in it. 0k. so it's a cutting motion,

not the rigorous stirring. it's better. i'll give you that. better. is there another way i can enjoy natto without the sliminess? natto doughnut. 0k, not at all gooey. it's delicious. i love natto now. this is what swedish lapland looks

like in the wintertime and it's the perfect backdrop to see reindeer, or the northern lights. but what really put this town on the map back in 1989 was when it built the world's first wintertime ice hotel. it's a concept that has been copied in other parts of the world but now they're trying something different. it's not what i was expecting. i was expecting an igloo or something like that. for more than 25 years we've been building igloos here. it's been a winter project, a seasonal project. this is our permanent... it is new. it's the first season that we're running the icehotel 365, a permanent ice hotel.

why have an ice hotel all year round? because people want to do it. seriously? simple answer. so can we go and have a look inside? of course. let's go, ade. 0k. when you're this far north of the arctic circle, there's daylight for 24 hours during the summer, and the icehotel has found a way to harness that energy, bizarrely, to keep temperatures inside below freezing. look at this! it's like a winter wonderland. there are 20 rooms in this new, permanent hotel, each uniquely sculpted by artists from all over the world. so it'sjust me, and my beautiful ice bed.

who's in here? 0h, hello, ade. ijust made your room ready. oh, wow! what temperature is it in this place? minus five. it reminds me of my first council flat, when i couldn't afford heating. you will become very nostalgic when you sleep here. because the room is literally freezing, you need special gear to survive the night, including a sleeping bag that can withstand temperatures of minus 25 centigrade. this is your bed. you have a normal mattress but the frame is ice. will this keep me warm enough in minus five degrees? yes. this sleeping bag is for winter purpose. i'm lucky enough to have a suite, which comes with a warm bath room. if you panic and you can't stand it, you can hang out in here as well. oh, i geta warm room! yeah. of course, i won't be spending much time in the warm room, other than to just get in.

my guide, stefan gives me some advice. what people usually do, they go with their whole head. brething becomes moist inside your sleeping bag and moist makes you colder, so the best way is to keep your face in the open. keep your face in the open. and breathe out in the air. can you tell me a story, stefan, please? all right, ade, i will leave you now. you have a good night's sleep. enjoy your cold night. thanks, stefan i'll be just chilling here. it's just gone 4:00am in the morning. i've woken up, um... yeah, i don't know. i think i need to go to the bathroom. bleep, it's really cold.

look, there's pros and cons to this. the great thing about it is, it's beautiful in here. look around! and also, the silence is just incredible. so peaceful. but it's cold. i ain't hiding, i ain't going to lie about it. it's cold. that is your lot for this week. but make sure you join us next week when. .. carmen continues her eating adventures throuthapan to take on a dish with a fishy flavour. very strong. that's all to come on next week's show. but don't forget you can keep up with us and all our travels

in real—time on the road by following us on social media. all the details should be on your screens right now. but, for now, from me ade adepitan, and all the travel show team here in sweden, it's hej, hej. hello, this is breakfast, with ben thompson and rachel burden. florida starts to the feel the force of hurricane irma. as the huge storm approaches, residents are urged to go to emergency shelters. millions of floridians will see major hurricane impacts, with deadly, deadly, deadly storm surges, and life—threatening wind. in cuba, there has been widespread damage, but so far no reports of any fatalities.
