something for fans of the 805. bruce springsteen and bryan adams bring the invictus games to a close — as prince harry says the sky's the limit for the event. right here, right now, shoulder to shoulder, you are invictus. i'll see you in australia. he is more of a rock star than the other two. and sarah has the weather. good morning, we have got an autumnal feeling day to day, with outbreaks of rain pushing west to east across the country and the strengthening breeze too. i will bring you all the details in about 15 minutes. thank you. good morning. first, our main story. theresa may has announced a freeze on university tuition fees in england and an extension of the "help to buy" scheme in a bid to win over younger voters. it comes as the conservative party gathers in manchester for its annual conference. our political correspondent chris mason reports. the security sweeps are complete. this hall will soon be packed.

but you don't need to look hard outside the conference venue to be reminded of the topic that dominates politics. expect a clear attempt here by senior conservatives to change the subject. so, in the next financial year, starting in april, graduates in england will only begin repaying their tuition fee debts once they earn £25,000 a year. this is an increase from the current threshold of £21,000. the conservatives say this is a saving of around £360 a year for graduates on a salary of at least £25,000. parties are also promising an extra £10 billion for the help to buy equity loan scheme, ensuring it continues until march 2021 to assist some with the up front cost of home ownership. the prime minister will hope that the next few days gives her a chance to talk about domestic priorities.

but the reality of the huge questions around brexit and her own future will make that difficult. and a big reason for that is this man. someone not exactly shy about his ambition. the foreign secretary, borisjohnson. yet again, he snatched a fair chunk of the prime minister's limelight with his views on brexit and a few other topics besides. activists here aren't short of a view or two about him. i guess he is positioning himself as a spokesperson for brexit and making sure that it goes through. do you have a message for boris johnson? shush. get behind the prime minister. whatever promises made here, the political reality for theresa may won't change. her decision to voluntarily call an election in which she went backwards has weakened her political authority within and beyond her party. chris mason, bbc news, manchester.

theresa may will be a guest on the andrew marr show this morning which starts at nine o'clock on bbc one and we'll be speaking to the conservative party chairman, sir patrick mcloughlin in five minutes. an air france flight from paris to los angeles carrying more than 500 people has been forced to make a sudden diversion when it lost part of an engine over the atlantic. passengers described a sudden jolt and then a loud boom. the plane flew for about an hour on three engines before landing at goose bay airport in eastern canada. earlier we spoke tojohn birkhead one of the passengers who is still on the plane. —— he was still on the plane when we speak to —— he was still on the plane when we speakto him. yeah, it's14 hours now. so, we are still on the plane, first class and business have been loaded onto a small 737 and were flown out of here about two hours ago.

the plane for us is due in another hour. right... but we are still on board, we have not been allowed to exit. just describe what happened and how frightening it was. yeah, my wife and i, we were six hours into the flight, my wife and i was stood in the open area next to the galley, we were stretching and talking about how long the flight was, we we re about halfway through the flight. and then suddenly there was a huge jolt, like we had hit something and then immediately the planejerked around a little bit and then there was a really weird engine noise for a while. that went for about five minutes, we struggled back to our seats. we were strapped in for about five minutes, listening to this noise and then eventually it went away and the usual aircraft sounds kind of returned. for about five minutes, i think, everyone was pretty scared because we didn't know what was going on, there was no announcement.

and then after about ten minutes, the crew got up and started tidying the plane away like we were going to land, that was pretty scary because, you know, we were over the ocean at this point. the low—cost travel company, monarch has been granted a 24—hour extension to its license to sell package holidays. it means travellers who book with the firm until midnight tonight will be covered for their trips. the airline is understood to be in talks to sell part or all of its short—haul operation. polling stations have opened in the spanish region of catalonia as voters gather to take part in a banned referendum on independence. the spanish courts have declared the poll illegal and thousands of extra police officers have been sent to the region. 0ur correspondent tom burridge reports from barcelona. those against the referendum last night took to the streets. a sea of spanish flags outside the headquarters of catalonia's devolved government.

all chant: espanol, espanol, espanol! those protesting happy that thousands of spanish national police are on board two cruise ships docked in barcelona's port. this is madrid saying it is ultimately in charge. together, we are more stronger, together is a great country inside of europe, and the majority of catalonia, we want to continue to be a part of spain. but those who want the referendum have occupied schools so they can be used as polling stations this morning. catalan nationalists need a big turnout if the vote has credibility at home and abroad. action taken by spanish police means that will be hard. it is one of europe's most iconic cities at the heart of this most controversial of polls. tom burridge, bbc news in barcelona. these are live pictures from outside a polling station in barcelona

where as you can see crowds are gathering ahead of the banned independence referendum. in some parts, we have seen pictures of people casting their votes. in other parts, we know that police have moved on. live pictures that we are seeing from another camera source 110w are seeing from another camera source now in barcelona. we are hearing, as you can see, police pushing people with riot shields. the national police, these but irish national police that spanish national police that spanish national police that spanish national police have been on two cruise ships, they were brought up early this morning on rounds and police wagons. they are deploying outside these polling stations. some of the ballot boxes as well have been seized. these pictures coming from barcelona at the moment. the referendum is taking place right throughout the of catalonia and it would appear that

whilst they cannot. every polling station from being opened and people going in to cast their ballots, they are targeting certain areas. you are seeing that with their riot gear. worth pointing out that it is illegal, the spanish national government has declared its independence referendum in catalonia illegal so that is why they are clamping down to try and stop it from happening. very strong pro—independence sentiment in parts of catalonia... the camera has taken a bit of a knock—down. there is strong support for a unified spain as well so this is by no means one—sided throughout that particular region. very strong passion on both sides. we will follow that with interest. we will follow that with interest. we will follow that with interest. we will keep watching the pictures as well. we will be live with our correspondent in barcelona in about ten minutes time. prince harry says he hopes to expand the invictus games in the future, saying the "sky's the limit".

he was speaking at the closing ceremony of the event for injured service personnel and veterans, he congratulated the competitors for the example they had shown the world, as andrew plant reports. the final day of competition in canada in the games set up by prince harry in 2014. 17 nations, over 500 participants, for a week—long event that helps wounded servicemen and women with physical and psychological rehabilitation. the closing ceremony then, a star—studded ending with some of music's biggest names and recognition for one of the game's biggest stars, the uk's mark 0rmerod, multiple medal winner, the former royal marine commando recognised with the exceptional performance award. to the thousands who filled the stands this week and the millions who watched at home, let me issue you a challenge. don'tjust move on from these games

with happy memories. instead, make an invictus goal for yourself. the invictus games are not just for the already determined. these games are for those who need it most. please help us find them. as the scene sets on toronto's games, the flag was passed to the next host. it will be game on down under. i'll see you in australia. sydney taking on the duties. now looking forward to the next invictus games. prince harry that. if you were watching strictly last night, johnny peacock had his blade out last night, he did thejob. it would phenomenal. —— you did thejive. good morning if you havejustjoined

us. the conservative party conference kicks off in manchester later today. in advance the party looks to have set its sights on appealing to younger voters. let's discuss this with conservative party chairman sir patrick mcloughlin who joins us this morning. good morning. welcome to be brea kfast sofa. good morning. welcome to be breakfast sofa. tuition fees, how much of a difference it is going to make to most students out there? much of a difference it is going to make to most students out there ?|j think it will make a difference because it is going to raise the threshold to which you start paying back tuition fee from 21,000 to 20 5000. i think that is an important move. i think it will ensure people but they will not have to start paying back their loan until they are owning a good salary. significant part of it, when you look at the offer compared to what labour are suggesting they will do, you will come out of university saddled with debt, labour i think they're going to scrap tuition fees altogether. if you were a student, he would you choose? a labour party that introduced tuition fees, a labour party but said it was

necessary to see the expansion that we've seen in a university sector. this is a labour party but that they are going to scrap it. they have not said how they are going to thunder it. they said they would scrap existing debt, they backtrack very quickly. it was not really a promise, if you like what we spokesman around jeremy corbyn say, they are choosing it was a promise. what we are doing, what we are coming forward with is costed and it is affordable. every time we talk to the labour party, they point out their manifesto was fully costed. they would say it is funded. no, they kept changing what their pledge was. whether it was existing loans, previous loans and they changed their story throughout the campaign. you talked about changing story, a couple of weeks ago labour force a vote on this which was about exactly this point, deep freeze on tuition fees which the conservative party resisted, you are changing your story now on this. why now? we list on, we have accepted that there is a

great concern, we have listened, we are taking a balanced approach and doing what is affordable and what i think is a good thing i will be welcomed by those students who are directly affected. quite a different position to where you were a couple of weeks ago. no, to make sure the affordable, to do the work that is necessary , affordable, to do the work that is necessary, that has to be done and thatis necessary, that has to be done and that is what has been happening since the election. help by, another area where perhaps you ought to be seen to be helping young people, is this an acknowledgement that for too long because of the body has been focused on a certain category of voter and at the recent snap election says you cannot wind another majority without average? what we are doing today is we're going to extend it, make it more available over a longer period so i think that is very important. i think that is very important. i think is important to try and help people get on housing ladder, helped to buy was introduced by us and we are announcing its extension today. how much of the extension costing? these figures will come out in the

budget. i think there has been a month, £10 million made available over by the chancellor. £10 billion. an additional promise of money from where you were any last manifesto, is that right? is that the md -- it is that right? is that the md -- it is affordable. we are boring as a country over £50 billion a year, we have to like the way the is spent. —— we are borrowing as a country. a reduction in the deficit from the of 50 billion when we first came into government in 2010 to just over the 50 billion mark now. —— 150 billion. we are going to afford it because it is being done over a number you beers and it has been costed in with the programme, the chancellor will announce in the budget. you do not know yet. it will be clustered in

the budgetjust six weeks away. the most vulnerable in our society, universal credit, this is interesting, conservative party policy, problems with the roll out of this scheme. specifically with the delays in getting payments to people. dame louise casey he was a social welfare, she has worked with your comment in the past that claimants are going to end up in dire circumstances as a result of the roll out this particular scheme. a number of tory mps agree with her, it should be paused until the problems are sorted out. do you agree? it has started to be rolled out, we do not want to see any problems will. when i had dame louise casey being interviewed, she accepted that the present system is so very complicated and actually moving forward the universal credit system was the right way forward so i think we are all agreed on what

the end game is and to get it right, david cork will listen and will be working with those colleagues who think there are problems and see if we can sort them out. there might be an option than to pause this process ? an option than to pause this process? i do not think we are talking about pausing, we need to it worked out a rolled out. david cork and his team will working with members of parliament to make sure it happens. you will admit there are problems? no, well, i am not sure there are problems. yes or no? i am not sure there are problems, the buzzing when we roll out further there will be problems. 0bviously buzzing when we roll out further there will be problems. obviously we wa nt to there will be problems. obviously we want to make sure that is avoidable. all the papers this morning and all the chat on social media, concerns, two things, brexit and theresa may's leadership. borisjohnson's two things, brexit and theresa may's leadership. boris johnson's latest intervention in the sun, talking about his red lines, his four red lines when it comes to brexit. those interventions helpful not? boris, whenever says anything, he is saying

something different to be prime minister. the primaries are made very clear when she made her one speech last week that there would be a two—year probation period. boris is thing that should be a maximum two years. is thing that should be a maximum two yea rs. i is thing that should be a maximum two years. i do not see there is really that much difference between what the foreign secretary saying and what the prime minister is thing. but it's hardly surprising, boris was involved in writing the speech. he grabs the headlines, he knows he does. let's have a listen to your delegates and their response to your delegates and their response to his intervention. i guess he is positioning himself as a spokesperson for brexit and making sure that it goes through. spokesperson for brexit and making sure that it goes throughlj spokesperson for brexit and making sure that it goes through. i am not quite sure that boris going down his own line as it is is necessary the right way forward. i like people who is charismatic and who can speak their minds. boris is certainly one of those people. what is your message to borisjohnson? shush. if boris did not exist, you

would want to invent him. he gives the media plenty of opportunities to ta ke the media plenty of opportunities to take about everything he says and sometimes it is misquoted. the media may like it bit you as the conservative party chairman, when you wake up when you see the headlines, do you roll your eyes and think they can say, be quiet for once? what i think is that what the media live for. he knows that and thatis media live for. he knows that and that is when he gets his stories in the paper. he knows how to ‘s going to be responded to. he knows this will be the talks today. the simple fa ct will be the talks today. the simple fact is boris is committed to sing a good brexit delivered, as is the prime minister and it is the prime minister who will be leading our negotiations over a brexit overall for the government. will it be the prime minister who lead this country, your party into the next general election? yes. it is a question that the mayor of london was uncomfortable answering recently. i have no problem. -- it

isa recently. i have no problem. -- it is a question that mrjavid was uncomfortable answering. it is her birthday today. the man who had the job for you, writing in the mail today saying that for a start to you in your position need to take a certain amount of responsibility for the failure in the election to build on that previous majority but he also says here that although you are very popular, it is a tough job and he says it is a performance that you show every sign of heating. you do not like it. is that right? no, i do like it. it is a great privilege to be chairman of the conservative party. i have not seen the article. there it is now. i do not have time to read it. we acknowledge the election did not go as well as we wa nted election did not go as well as we wanted but we did win some sweets

that we have never won before. it was a strange result, seats like stoke on trent, it has not been a conservative since 1930s. north east derbyshire. by anyone's account, it was not a successful election for the conservative party. was not a successful election for the conservative partylj was not a successful election for the conservative party. i am the first to acknowledge it did not go the way we wanted to. i'm saying there are number of results that we re there are number of results that were encouraging. you do not hate yourjob? of course not. glad to hear it. thank you very much. letters ta ke letters take you to some live pictures in barcelona. police moving into one of the polling stations with what beast —— spanish national government... they have smashed their way into the polling station. they have stormed it and are

starting to seize ballot boxes. we've heard reports of ballot boxes being seized. these people, one would presume, are people who are involved in running the referendum, possibly because as well. the police have moved into the polling station in barcelona. we heard reports they we re in barcelona. we heard reports they were being kept on two cruise ships in the port of barcelona, brought into the city and deployed around polling stations before they opened this morning and, as you can see, as the cameraman repositions, you can see more police officers paid from this spanish national police moving into the polling station then barcelona. we will continue to monitor developments. you are still sitting here watching this with us. a regional issue in spain but it is one of the things that we are

grateful when we have polls in this country, we do not see scenes like this. this concerns a illegal referendum, an independence referendum, an independence referendum and the polling stations we re referendum and the polling stations were due to open this morning, earlier on we did see them open and operational and certain people casting their ballots. we know that outside certain polling stations hundreds of people queued early but we have been told that the national police were on stand—by to intervene and, as you can see, these are pictures of the police coming actually into the polling station themselves, seizing ballot boxes. you have seen them with riot shields, outside on the streets we also seen kind of minor altercations between riot police on the streets and crowds and crowds of people have come to support this referendum. let us come to support this referendum. let us go to gavin, he is in barcelona for us. he is right that this morning. he is outside one of the polling stations. can you bring is

up polling stations. can you bring is up to date with the latest as you understand it? this is a polling station that should not be a polling station, the spanish, they said they wa nted station, the spanish, they said they wanted to shut all 2000 across the region, about 1000 are still open. let me step out of shot a second. you get a sense of this side of this crowd because this is a community centre, a middle—class district of barcelona, at least 1000 people, people inside the commune to centre, a small courtyard in there, they are queueing all away around the block. what happened this morning is quite reflective of what was seen at the other centres. people knowing that they could be moved on, this is illegal, it should not be taking place. the police came in at six o'clock this morning, some riot police, they noted down he was here, rough numbers, they stayed briefly, they called to two central headquarters and they moved on. there was no use of force. there are families here think they were prepared forforce, families here think they were prepared for force, they were prepared for force, they were prepared to go to prison because they want the right to vote. i get

they want the right to vote. i get the sense that, remember what happens for the catalan government here, this is pretty unprecedented, where you have an illegal referendum but what the catalan government says is turnout matters. if there are 5 million people who can vote and if 2 million people who can vote and if 2 million people who can vote and if 2 million people turn up to date, the catalina government at ultimate high numbers, brats and 48 hours declaring independence. we are looking at the seams right now. huge queues here. interesting, as you describe the referendum on the face of it is illegal and they are trying to clamp down on it, stop it is best that they can, there could be a really serious tipping point in spain's history here is the catalan government thinks there's enough of a well of its people to declare independence. spain could be falling apart. yeah, the fascinating thing is none of these people here, ask

any legal expert on either side, they do not know where this goes from here. the spanish government, even the eu in brussels are using the thing to say this is something internal but the constitution must be respected, the spanish government refer to the constitution, state is broken, it is about unity. they say the catalans broken, it is about unity. they say the catala ns have broken, it is about unity. they say the catalans have not devolved powers, their own education systems, people here talk about unfairness, they pay more into the tax system then they get back. they talk about history, battles that others around the continent would not remember, the continent would not remember, the war of spanish succession. history matters in a way, it is about the size of belgium, 7.5 billion people here, some feel passionate to say we will vote to risk. by the end of today, the polling stations closed at eight o'clock tonight, we are expecting some sense by about midnight about how have voted that this is anyone's

guess because it should not be taking place at all. all the ordinary rules suddenly do not apply. some of the wire services, they are reporting that ballot boxes have been seized as we have been reporting that spanish national police say they have confiscated 9 million ballots. seizing other voting materials and arresting the organisers of the election. clearly we are seeing organisers of the election. clearly we are seeing you organisers of the election. clearly we are seeing you in barcelona, we have seen some shots from inside the polling station, this is happening right across catalonia in towns and villages right across the region. right across catalonia in towns and villages right across the regionm is. let's walk around, we'll hear them shouting and striking up in a minute. people are coming here by the minute. hello, do you speak any english? tell me, you are live on the bbc, what is your name? christina. tell me what this morning has been like you, why are you here?

the spanish team and say it is illegal. we have been here since five o'clock in the morning because they've wanted to be here at six to close the school and we are here because we want to vote because we think it is not illegal to vote. it is about democracy, it is not about independence today. how are you going to vote? yes. i am going to vote yes. if something happens today, the government of thing it should not be taking place, they are taking notes. what if a risk you we re taking notes. what if a risk you were found up to be voting, breaking the constitution, would you feel that you were at risk? you are doing something against the state. sometimes the rules are there to break because that is what we think, the rules are not always right and these people are trying to tell something to the walls, to our government, to the state and that is what we're trying stay. what do will happen from here if the vote goes

ahead? we do not know. it is about democracy, the result will say something. i do not know. thank you for talking to us. quite reflective ofa for talking to us. quite reflective of a lot of people here, they have been determined, a consultation three years ago, this they are calling the referendum. the ex—catalan president who held the referendum consultation ended up losing hisjob, potentially the risk goes ahead for the new leader if by the night he calls it and decides to declare independence. gavin, thank you so declare independence. gavin, thank you so now. declare independence. gavin, thank you so now. we'll come back to you later in the day. we appreciate your insight from barcelona. keeping an eye out on social media which is happening all the time. we are seeing pictures of riot police tussling with their visors as people attempt to get in the polling

stations. 0ther attempt to get in the polling stations. other pictures have shown a glass doors being fashion they can force entry as well. it is clearly a moving situation, we will keep an eye on it. headlines are on the way. hello, this is breakfast with rachel burden and rogerjohnson. coming up before nine sarah will have the weather. but first, a summary of this morning's main news. theresa may has announced a freeze on tuition fees in england and an extension of the "help to buy" scheme in a bid to win over younger voters. the announcement comes on the opening day of the conservative party conference, which begins in manchester later. the prime minister described her proposals as a key part of her plan to spread opportunity but labour has called the plans "desperate". as we saw it a few minutes ago,

violent as we saw it a few minutes ago, viole nt scuffles as we saw it a few minutes ago, violent scuffles have broken the twin spanish police and voters taking part in an illegal spanish referendum. at one polling station police pushed protesters back before entering the polling station with force. the low—cost travel company, monarch has been granted a 24—hour extension to its license to sell package holidays. it means travellers who book with the firm until midnight tonight will be covered for their trips. the airline is understood to be in talks to sell part or all of its short—haul operation. the civil aviation authority says it will provide a daily update on the protection that is available to monarch‘s customers. an air france superjumbo from paris to los angeles has been forced to make a sudden diversion when it lost part of an engine over the atlantic. passengers described a sudden jolt and then a loud bang. the plane flew for about an hour on three engines before it reached goose bay airport in eastern canada. no one was injured in the incident. prince harry says he hopes to expand the invictus games in the future, and says the sky's the limit for the competition for wounded service men and women. speaking at last night's star studded closing ceremony in toronto, he congratulated the competitors for inspiring the world,

and asked them to encourage more veterans to take part. next year the games will be held in sydney, australia. ijust i just kicked out ijust kicked out one of my wires, you know, you have one of those moments of panic and you think have i pulled the plug on the whole thing? jess is here to bail us out, manchester city and manchester united still locked together at the top of the premier league? exactly. the rivalry between them well documented, but we have rivalry between the managers, pep guardiola and jose mourinho. both teams unbeaten, you wonder who is going to link first, both teams playing very well, could be to be talking about them as title contenders in march? i wonder. so it's city who are top of the premier league, on goal difference, this morning, after beating champions chelsea 1—nil.

united put 4 past crystal palace, and harry kane continues his hot streak for tottenham, he just can't stop scoring! tim hague rounds up yesterday's action for you. chelsea at home to manchester city was the biggest game of the premier league season so far, and was decided by this man. while the match was not a classic, this winner was. a quality goal. a game is always going to need a quality goal to separate the sides and that was it. not bad. we are so happy, we were able to win. before guardiola's men went top of the table, their rivals, manchester united were there. two goals scored by one man in a 4—0 win against crystal palace. how he would have liked to play with a striker like romelu lukaku. lu ka ku scoring his 11th goal in ten games. harry kane scored another two at huddersfield to make it 13 this month.

the form he is in must match that of any striker in any league in any team you care to mention. a couple of goals, as a striker you do want to score more but the most important thing is a big win and we had a great win. we need to try and get the job done next week as well. another man who will feel like he has had a wonderful week is the stoke striker peter crouch. he came off the bench to secure a much—needed win at home. while that one came late, it was nothing in comparison to west ham's winner against swansea. both sides are in a relegation battle but the hammers in injury time snatched the points. that relieved the pressure on the manager for now. elsewhere there were draws between west brom & watford, and bournemouth & leicester. and there's three more premier league games today, as arsenal host brighton at 12,

everton face burnley at 2.15. newcastle against liverpool is at 4.30. in the scottish premiership, leaders celtic dropped points. theirformer manager neil lennon returned with his new side hibernian, as they earned a two—all draw. second placed aberdeen beat saintjohnstone 3—0, while in this match ross county beat bottom side kilmarnock two—nil. there were also wins for motherwell and dundee. the malaysian grand prix is underway in sepang — and there's been drama already. ferrari's kimi raikkonen was out of the race before it had even started — he was wheeled off the track five minutes from the start, after problems with his battery. lewis hamilton was pole, but was overtaken on the fourth lap by red bull's max verstappen. hamilton is currently second. coverage over on radio 5 live and the bbc sport website. in rugby league, catalan dragons won the so—called ‘million pound game' — to guarantee their status as a super league club.

they beat leigh centurions, meaning leigh will now be relegated back to the championship. they had been leading 6—4 at half time, but you wonder what was said in the dressing room at the break, because the french side stormed to 22 points in the second half. 26—10 the final score. northern irishman jonathan rea made history by winning the world superbikes championship for a record third time in a row he becomes the first man to achieve that feat, and he's done it with five races left in the season! he's in a lane all by himself, isn't he... he won the first race of the weekend at magny—cours to clinch the title. and to top it off, it was also his 50th career victory. i have no words right now! it's just... ijust i have no words right now! it's just... i just sacrificed i have no words right now! it's just... ijust sacrificed so much of my life with my parents, and everyone, and all the hard times to get to a level to live my dream, when they world championship but to

win two and go three times, i can't really compute the feelings right now. emotionaljonathan ray. rory mcilroy is still looking for his first win of the season, but he seems to be finally finding some form. he's competing at the british masters in newcastle, and the 4—time major winner moved into contention with a six—under—par 64 in the third round, that left him 10 under, two strokes behind the leader robert karlsson. just one shot above mcilroy on the leaderboard are five britons, including ian poulter and tyrrell hatton. it was a successful day for britain's rowers at the world championships in florida — in more ways than one... they won a total of four medals yesterday, including a silverfor the men's quad. but, just moments before the race, they had to make a substitution... graeme thomas, who was sitting in the grandstand with his mum, received a text message telling him to get to the start line after one of the team injured his back during the warm up. and he proved to be a super sub, as the british crew edged out estonia for the silver, with lithuania taking gold.

i thought the quad had bolted, wished them the best of luck, then i got a text, we need you now, leg it, run, juergen said, it's ok, can down. these guys are great, all credit to these guys, worked so hard all year, you should have been on the top step today, i did my best. even after the race, pumped by adrenaline. that is me and roger after this, we collapsed down the back of the sofa. jess, thank you so much. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the newspapers. politics lecturer victoria honeyman is here to tell us what's caught her eye. not surprisingly, a bit of

forethought going into this, conference season up forethought going into this, conference season up and out is, i am sorry, tipped those over on the floor. the conservative hierarchy in a number of the papers, damian green, sided javed, damian green, essentially theresa may —— theresa may's key people in the party. he is backing the prime minister, i know patrick mcloughlin mentioned earlier issues relating to student fees but also, the funding to encourage young people to be able to buy their own homes. essentially he is pledging his support and saying, don't you worry about or as johnson, his support and saying, don't you worry about or asjohnson, theresa may is the woman for the job. interesting. the sunday times... an awful lot of talk about gender fluidity particularly in schools, what are they focusing on? as a

rowdy of different things. that is a different one to the one i was going to talk about. you know, i was thinking about that, what you want to talk about, because it didn't match up with the headline we were given? everyday sexism, that hash tag was launched by laura bates, the idea that many women exist, work and live in an environment sexism is built into the psyche of what we do. she launched this hash tag which became incredibly successful and has led to a book she has written, this is regarding gchq... here led to a book she has written, this is regarding gchq. .. here we go, led to a book she has written, this is regarding gchq... here we go, i have got it. it was my fault, i threw them on the floor. gchq, part of the intelligence gathering apparatus. the idea they are asking female spies to report on everyday sexism that they see within the workplace, the idea that permeates every aspect of our society. causing a bit ofa every aspect of our society. causing a bit of a mess at this time in the morning, i think we have got them

just about the right order. this is tim peake, a scaled, the girls are in the scouts. i think that might be a cub scout with bad jumper, but anyway... the scout association public cannot believe what wonderful publicity this is. he is saying it is the scouts that inspired him. tim hague doing another lot to encourage children and the more grown—up amongst us to be an astronaut, he said it encouraged him to think outside academic study and think about what was possible and he loved being a cub scout, going on retreat, going to camp and he loved looking at the stars and that inspired him to build some of the resilience and personality traits you in order to be able to excel as he has clearly done. delighted. i mean, obviously, he is genuine in what he says but he is going to be an ambassador for the scouts, fantastic to have someone

like that. i bet they couldn't believe their luck, so inspirational to so many young people. inside the american newspaper, marcus, the free church superhero. a gentle man involved in a motor bike accident which caused him to have multiple injuries including severing his spinal—cord and his recovery has been absolutely extraordinary. a personal trainer, he has now been immortalised in a video by the charity you see mentioned, transformed trauma, to inspire young people who have disabilities, a little bit like the invictus games to show them an injury should not be the end of everything, in many ways it can be a different type of beginning that you had in possession and he wants to speak to children and he wants to speak to children and young people alike about what kind of things are possible even if you have a life changing injury. sorry, rachel. we have a guest on before 9am this morning who competed at the invictus games and will talk about how important sport is in

giving him a new focus in life. you talked aboutjonnie peacock on strictly come dancing last night, so great to see the first person with a disability... and heather mccartney on dancing with the stars. so inspirational, extraordinary, i don't think i could possibly participate in anything as gruelling as bad but he is an incredibly well—trained athletes. i am sure he will do well. fingers crossed. nice to finish with a couple of inspiring stories. you can come again. i say goodbye, iam stories. you can come again. i say goodbye, i am off to read the news on bbc one on the andrew marr programme. but first, let's have a look at the weather. it is looking fairly grey. this is north yorkshire, cloud around, courtesy of low pressure pushing a weather front west to east.

0utbreaks weather front west to east. outbreaks of rain across northern ireland, scotland, pushing into north—west england, light and patchy in wales and south—west england but the breeze is a feature, strengthening winds. for central and eastern parts of england, you see the old gems of sunshine around, temperatures reaching 18 degrees. clouding over later, sunshine returning during this evening across western parts of the country. clear through tonight across parts of wales, southern england, further north, further showers packing in on that strengthening wind and with that, keeping temperatures falling too low. 9—13d for most of us. things turning fresher over the next few days, quite warm humid air in charge, getting squeezed to the south, replaced by colder are filtering from the north—west behind this area of low pressure. you can see the proximity of these lines, windy weather, for the monday

morning rush—hour in scotland, 60 miles an hour, 50 in northern ireland, not just strong miles an hour, 50 in northern ireland, notjust strong winds, heavy showers packing in, not particularly pleasant for monday across northern parts. further south, not as windy but lastly, one or two magarira showers, sunshine for northern england and wales, further showers for northern england, scotland, northern ireland, blown in on the wind, temperatures between 14—18d, feeling fresher. a bit of rain to come monday night into tuesday across the south of england, clearing away, by the time tuesday morning comes, respite, the wind not as strong, a few showers, many places staying driver tuesday, temperatures quite a bit cooler. 16 degrees or so in the south, 12—13 further north. rachel, looking pretty tom bowell, blustery and a bit cooler. about right for this

time of year. should magazines be forced to tell readers if they've altered their pictures to make models appear slimmer? 0r or in some cases more full as well? from today publications in france will have to display cigarette—style warnings if they retouch their photos or face a fine. it's hoped this will help reduce the number of young people with body image problems. we went out to see what you thought of the idea. i think there's just so much of a problem with false perceptions and people not wanting to feel or look good natural. yeah, you should be able to photoshop if you want. i mean, most people work it out themselves, don't they? it's normally fairly obvious so, no, i don't think there should be a big fine like that. if they disclose the fact that it is being photoshopped, i think that would be a good start. i don't know, illegal, maybe that's a little bit too strict. if you want to edit something and you want to change your perception of what you've put up, that's fine. i would rather have a photo that'sjust saying, what the actual person looks like. i don't believe that it

should be illegal, maybe it should just be noted somehow. i don't think they should do that at all so... natural beauty. yeah, natural beauty. we have a couple of guests, rachel johnson, an anti—abortion campaigner and terry hatcher, psychologist and author. thank you both. rachel, —— and anti airtouching campaigner. it's important to note what a real person looks like, but education, if an image has been subjected to retouching, people don't go down the repacked —— the path that i went with an eating disorder. you had anorexia. how much was there and

influence of images around you, magazines, tv, how much did that affect you? i was diagnosed at 14 with anorexia and am still in treatment, it's been an ongoing process. it didn't start my eating disorder, i was already in very rocky territory but it definitely influenced my perception of myself a lot, so much so that i went down a path of self harm, real big self—destruction. path of self harm, real big self-destruction. which is full. which is great that you are hopefully coming through it, you are still being treated for it but you look great here. this is a condition that affects not just young women but young men, how much of an influence to you think the media's pictures are on our own body image. the media has a huge impact but it's in the context of a very dense and messy culture around body image. we

can welcome this as a public statement that many of the images that influence young woman, teens and young women are not only unrealistic, they are actually unrealistic, they are actually unreal but it does nothing to change the focus on appearance, that appearance matters. and that a good bodyis appearance matters. and that a good body is a body that is desirable to others or complies obediently with some idea. a certain ideal. marketers will tell you for a generation the received wisdom has been beautiful people sell products, it's hard to get away from that. you really need a paradigms shift, a good ade is a body that feels good and works well and we are furry far from that. there are some countries where they are way ahead of us in looking at interventions that might help. in israel, this is also a low,

you cannot, you have to disclose if you cannot, you have to disclose if you are photo shopping something, it isn't that however it that has been effective in israel, it's more the wellness programmes that address positive self regard, engagement in sport, physical activity is a huge project from this kind of thing and also, positive relationships with parents. that helps. all of these things can help protect against eating disorders but they don't prevent it. no. i have two young girls, one of whom hasjust prevent it. no. i have two young girls, one of whom has just got her first tour and what worries me, you can say there are laws that affect magazines, social media, they are going to be accessing, notjust filters but grams you can totally altered the way you look on photos. those things are effectively outside the realms of any kind of government

intervention, those are the ones young girls will access, is there anything you can do? it's education, it's not just girls, anything you can do? it's education, it's notjust girls, boys as well, it's notjust girls, boys as well, it's making sure that education is key, we do programmes in schools, i had gone out and delivered talks in schools about my disorder, my journey, a lot of young people don't understand actually the full impact of what airbrushing is. look at this, stacey solomon took a picture of herself, she showed off her muffin top, what she cold that, she is by no means overweight, there are lumps and bumps they are like all normal people, stretch as well from her regna nt seas. normal people, stretch as well from her regnant seas. is it important we have people saying this is real life. —— from her pregnancies.

have people saying this is real life. -- from her pregnancies. they are hot young people look like, it is important that celebrities show this, this is what i looked like before i go into a studio, before and after... you want to see me, it is horrendous. but the trouble is a difference between a model but this photo shop and a model that is and is slight and it will help people who are roughly normal weight, who may not be saying, my gosh, i should look so unrealistic, but it's not going to help really with the breadth... there needs to be a more fundamental shift. thank you so much. no problem. good luck with your own journey. thank you very much. the 2017 invictus games closed in canada last night with prince harry telling competitors the "sky's the limit". this year 550 athletes from 17 different nations took part in the event for wounded servicemen

and women. let's take a look at some of the highlights of the past seven days. some of you have overcome emotional challenges that until very recent yea rs challenges that until very recent years would challenges that until very recent yea rs would have challenges that until very recent years would have seen new written off and ignored. and now, you are here, on the world stage, flags on your chests, representing your country is again. this is the moment, right here,

right now, shoulder to shoulder, you are invictus! i will see you in australia! rob cromey—hawke is a four—time invictus games gold medallist and former royal engineer, and hejoins us now. along with his medals, as if you needed the proof you are a medal winner. laid out on the table, that isa mighty winner. laid out on the table, that is a mighty impressive haul. back in 2014? and 2016, fortunate to compete in both, the inaugural ones in london and retaining the gold medals i want london and retaining the gold medals iwant in london and retaining the gold medals i want in london, in orlando. you felt very strongly that other people should have an opportunity to compete in the games this year, such a positive experience for you. compete in the games this year, such a positive experience for youm has, something that i would call as prince harry did in the closing ceremony to find all those who haven't been impacted by the power

of these games as yet and therefore call on all those serving and vetera ns call on all those serving and veterans who may know someone that this still endorse. there is a familiar picture, where you? on right—hand side. familiar picture, where you? on right-hand side. your victory year, 2014? it was, yes, the first time they were held in the uk. it was, in london. commanded so much time and attention, in part because of the kind of presence of rins harry but also the presence of his girlfriend and the chat around that and former president 0bama was there. does that help or distract from what is going on? it very much helps to be able to shine the light on events like the in big games but what has been really positive this year based on a lot of the feedback from the previous games was that the media really got behind what the people wa nt to really got behind what the people want to see and the athletes as wealth which was greater exposure to the standard of sport being displayed. this is seriously good

competition. it is, as we've seen with some of the other clips, the values and behaviours of the athletes, being able to support each other through the greatest challenges we face. people watching this programme earlier might have seen a this programme earlier might have seen a clip of a group of swimmers, a swimmer quite far off the pace, about 30 is seconds behind the competitors and the others came back and encouraged her along, beautiful moment. that exemplifies the values and spirit of these games and those of us who have gone through adversity together and supported each other we can be very competitive and that is where i would call on businesses in the uk to make the most of people like us and really get those soft skills al airand support us and really get those soft skills al air and support us as we move forward. how has the prince got on the sure? very well, i don't know the sure? very well, i don't know the exact numbers but the feedback and photos i have seen from friends and photos i have seen from friends

and past peers, on social media, there has been a lot of success, some really big steps for some of those actually getting to the input is games was the greatest challenge and to be able to go and succeed while there, the icing on the cake. trolling in other countries as well, i think that's important in terms of expanding its each. very much so, the wider we can get the participation, the higher the standard of competition but the greater the impact in supporting eve ryo ne greater the impact in supporting everyone through a change in society and perception. were you itching to be out there again? i was, yes. do you think you could do it in another year or two? that is for the invictus games is different, it's not performance focused, it's the impact on your recovery and what goes with that, by recovery is ongoing, something that hopefully i would like to apply for next year. let's hope so, love to see you out there. thank you everyone for being with us.

dan and louise will be back tomorrow from six. this is bbc news. the headlines at nine: theresa may announces a freeze on university tuition fees in england and an extension of the "help to buy" scheme in a bid to win over younger voters voters clash with riot police in the spanish region of catalonia, as they try to take part in a banned referendum on independence. the low—cost travel company, monarch has been granted a 24—hour extension to its licence to sell package holidays. and air france flight was forced to ta ke and air france flight was forced to take the division after it lost an engine over the atlantic. also in the next hour —— the invictus games reach their closing ceremony. founder prince harry wants to expand
