jonathan blake joins us from our london newsroom. jonathan, is the prime minister's position now safe? i think the plot that grant shapps had hopes would gather some momentum has, for now, fizzled out. it was something of a flash in the pan and has not so far been able to cover the support he would need to go to the support he would need to go to the prime minister in private and say, we have a significant number of mps in thing now is the time you to go. it was a bit of a flash in the pamela did highlight the frustration that a lot of conservative mps had the general election result earlier this year when the conservatives saw their majority all but wiped out. the prime minister's position is still precarious, as we have heard this morning, the scottish conservative leader ruth davidson weighing into the row, saying people

should calm down, put up or shut up, and saying she has not got much time the people who she described as not serious contenders. an attempt there to calm things down. she is well respected within the party, and it may well have an impact for the time being. ruth davidson not the only potential leadership candidate to get behind the prime minister. this is quite extraordinary, we have a message borisjohnson is quite extraordinary, we have a message boris johnson centre whatsapp group of conservative mps yesterday. we know there has been fevered conversation between them since the prime minister ‘s disastrous conference speech, through no fault of our own, where she had a cold, the letters fell off the set a prankster got on the stage. that's what gave rise to this attempted coup, but borisjohnson making it clear he wants mps to get the prime minister, it says in capital letters, we have just the prime minister, it says in capital letters, we havejust had the prime minister, it says in capital letters, we have just had an election, people are fed up with all this malarkey, as he put set. people he has spoken to about the speech

thought it was good and anyone can have a cold. he ends up with a rallying cry to turn the fire on corbyn, he says, and talk about nothing except our policies on what we can do for the country. good stuff. i love that all of those chats i had an whatsapp these days. police investigating the las vegas shooting say they have yet to establish the motive of the gunman, stephen paddock. (pres2) he killed 58 people at a country music festival in the city last sunday. police say they have examined more than 1,000 leads since then, but still don't have any clear explanation for his actions. luxmy gopal reports. six days on from stephen paddock killing 58 people and injuring hundreds at a music festival in las vegas, and police still don't know why he did it. the 64—year—old opened fire from his hotel room before turning the gun on himself. at a press briefing, the las vegas metropolitan police department said they've gone through more than a thousand leads in the investigation.

we have looked at everything, literally, to include the suspect‘s personal life, any political affiliation, his social behaviours, economic situation and any potential radicalisation that so many have claimed. we have been down each and every single one of these paths, trying to determine why, to determine who else may have known of these plans. the police have ruled out the possibility that there was another shooter in the room with paddock. but they haven't established what he was planning to do with the 50 pounds of explosives found in his car at the hotel. meanwhile, officials from las vegas airport say a bullet fired during the shooting pierced a jet fuel storage tank 2,000 feet from the gunman‘s hotel window. there was no fire or explosion and the authorities won't speculate on whether paddock was aiming to hit the tank. it leaves yet more questions

at a time when the nation wants answers, when those grieving for loved ones are trying to make sense of this senseless loss of life. luxmy gopal, bbc news. there are fears that british jobs at the aerospace company bombardier could be at risk, after the us government imposed more tariffs on imports of new planes made by the firm. it's part of a dispute with the american firm boeing, and would massively increase duties paid on the c—series model to almost 300—percent. the wings of the jets are built in belfast, where bombardier employs more than 4000 people. the uk government says they are "disappointed" but not surprised by the decision. ryanair‘s chief operations officer is to resign at the end of the month, following mistakes over pilot rotas that led to the cancellation of more than 20—thousand flights. michael hickey worked at the airline for 30—years and was responsible for the scheduling of pilots' shifts.

he's the first executive to leave in the wake of the flight cancellations which have affected more than 700—thousand passengers. oil and gas companies in the gulf of mexico have shut their operations as hurricane nate approaches. it has killed at least 2a people in central america and damaged thousands of homes. the catagory one hurricane is predicted to hit the united states on sunday. the mayor of new orleans has ordered evacuations and a mandatory curfew in some parts of the city. a 15—year—old boy has been arrested after a stabbing in north—west london. map) the 18—year—old victim was found badly wounded in neasden, brent yesterday afternoon. scotland yard said he died from multiple stab wounds at the scene. the teenager, who was arrested, is being questioned on suspicion of murder and detectives are appealing for witnesses. thousands of people are expected to gather in madrid for a rally

in favour of remaining a unified spain. opponents of catalonia's push for independence have called for demonstrations to be held in several spanish cities, including barcelona. 0ur europe correspondent james reynolds has travelled from madrid to barcelona and is now in alicante. where we are now, we are exactly here. each side has a potentially dramatic step to think about taking. barcelona has to think about taking the dramatic step of declaring independence, madrid for its part, the capital of the country, has the dramatic step of dissolving self rule in catalonia. each side, if each side were to take those steps, that would take this country into a constitutional crisis and there are some signs over the last 2a hours that each side wants to pull back a bit, to pause, before taking any of those dramatic steps. the catalan leader, in his statement on tuesday, says he will give a report about the political situation. he did not mention

declaring independence. one of his key advisers has said that essentially their side wants a ceasefire with madrid. people across the uk could be treated to the sight of dozens of shooting stars, when the draconid meteor shower peaks this weekend. it is most likely to be clearest in the direction of the constellation of draco — the dragon — in the northern sky, in the early evening. it's one of two meteor shows that can be seen during october. sarah says it will be clear in the north and particularly on higher ground. at the end of one of the most difficult weeks theresa may has faced in her political career, the prime minister told reporters she had the "full support" of her cabinet. the pm was forced to defend her position after a former conservative party chairman called for a leadership contest. we will be speaking to theresa may's constituency chairman in a moment, first here's a reminder

of recent events. i have just been to buckingham palace, where her majesty the queen has asked me to form a new government. i excepted. i have just chaired a meeting government. i excepted. i havejust chaired a meeting of government. i excepted. i have just chaired a meeting of the cabinet. where we agree that the government should call a general election. nothing has changed. nothing has changed. we are offering a long—term solution for the sustainability of social care for the future. what we are saying is, the conservatives are the largest party, note they do not have an overall majority at this stage. let this party celebrate the wealth creators, the risk—takers, party celebrate the wealth creators, the risk—ta kers, the party celebrate the wealth creators, the risk—takers, the innovators and entrepreneurs. what the country needs is calm

leadership. that's what i'm providing, with the full support of my cabinet. councillor geoff hill is the chairman of theresa may's also with us is politics lecturer kathryn simpson from manchester metropolitan university. it's been a bad week at the office for theresa may. undeniably, it's been a bad week at the office fortheresa may. undeniably, on it's been a bad week at the office for theresa may. undeniably, on the other hand, this is something she will build upon. this is the same theresa mayhew was home secretary, who made difficult decisions, she's resilient and she will see the light at the end of the tunnel. it has been a difficult week, no denying that, but on the flip side, she will go the other side. was it a week where it could have been the situation where she would have had to face a leadership contest? did it ever come that close? 0r to face a leadership contest? did it ever come that close? or as many have suggested, was a whipped up by very few and grass upon by the

media? i think it's the latter more than anything. she has had a bad week at the office, a difficult week, she said herself she's been suffering from a cold. the calamities she faced during the conference calamities she faced during the c0 nfe re nce we re very calamities she faced during the conference were very difficult for her. on the other hand, what we have seen her. on the other hand, what we have seen over her. on the other hand, what we have seen over the last couple of days in particular, saying he has the support of 30 mp5, grant shapps, he needs 48. even then he needs to write the 1922 committee and its only if theresa may lost that bopara she decided to quit that we would cle chip contest. we are a long way off really looking at the new prime minister. and we had nigel emmons from the 1922 committee who made it very clear he did not think grant shapps had enough support that her position is in doubt. ijust want position is in doubt. i just want to bring position is in doubt. ijust want to bring injeff hill whojoins us now ijust want to bring injeff hill who joins us now from ijust want to bring injeff hill whojoins us now from reading. good to see you. we were talking about quite how difficult a weakness and

been the theresa may. you have known her a long time. is she going to stick around ? her a long time. is she going to stick around? absolutely. i'm looking forward to supporting in 2022, so yes. let's talk about how damaging in terms of the event that have happened over this past week. in the scheme of things, how bad week has for her? i think this will pass very quickly. i don't agree it's been a bad week for theresa, i think it's been a very good week, if we listen to the context of the speech that she gave at conference, it was an excellent week, and i do think it's been whipped up by some people, and it's been very unfair on her. she made a lot of very good announcements, like extra £10 million for helping people move in to help to buy, more training nurses in the nhs tackling terrorism online, those are the key messages people will take away in the end. i'll tell you why people will say it's been a bad week, it's because

she, the prime minister, is supposed to be doing thatjob as people are supposed to be focused on, and they haven't been. they have not been focusing on what she has been supposed to be doing with leading this country through brexit, they have been focused on the fact that there are divisions in the conservative party on whether there we re conservative party on whether there were 48 of 30 or ten, there are mps who are unhappy with leadership on and not confident with her leadership, how she going to change that? also comments about other and secretary undermining her, that is not gone away. this has been very much a bit of a soggy firework for grant shapps. it has died a away very quickly. the cabinet is behind. if you are at a conference, i was right at the front, she received six to eight standing ovations, applause, and is a very strong at the top, taking us forward. so i don't agree. catherine, it's so interesting, we've heard from both

sides about whether she will stay in thejob. sides about whether she will stay in the job. ultimately the sides about whether she will stay in thejob. ultimately the problem is there does not seem like there's a likely successor. nobody may want thisjob. likely successor. nobody may want this job. regardless of how much u nrest this job. regardless of how much unrest there is, no one would step up unrest there is, no one would step up to take it. this is a key issue. while we are having these debates about a potential leadership battle, who is the natural successor. boris johnson is the person on everyone's lips but is that something he really wants? is that something he's prepared to do? theresa may has been nominated, so to speak, as the prime minister that will see the uk through brexit and through the key brexit negotiations. while their work evenings within her speech at the conference, brexit did not really feature. guy verhofstadt said he really wanted to see more clarification about what brexit was going to look like, in particular what kind of things would would look like with the irish border, and that did not feature. there's been frustration at the eu level that will say, we are not here to resolve

internal conflict within the conservative party, we want to get on—the—job and as a consequence of the internal politics, we're not able to to do so. as an observer, have you made comparisons over the labour party conference on the conservative conference and the feeling you come away with in terms of how stable each party is?|j feeling you come away with in terms of how stable each party is? i think both parties are under pressure. neither labour nor conservative are front runners at the moment, but there is definitely a lack lustre sense after the conservative party, asa sense after the conservative party, as a consequence of sense after the conservative party, as a consequence of the calamities we saw through theresa may's speech. that's unfortunate in some respects but on the other hand, as he rightly pointed out, this is the prime minister, people want to get on with the job. they want that strong and sta ble the job. they want that strong and stable leadership she promised to deliver. that has not potentially worked out, but she had the support of the dup, she is in government. we have seen the shifting narrative i'iow. have seen the shifting narrative now. towards calm. we do want carmen

leadership and want to get on with the job and i've no doubt that's what she will continue today. thank you both for your time. here's sarah with a look at this morning's weather. a bit ofa a bit of a mixed picture through the weekend. quite cloudy and breezy, some rain around but they should brighten up for some of us later on, and into tomorrow. this is the view in north yorkshire, quite a lot of cloud on the few outbreaks of showery rain. all courtesy of this weather front which has been showery rain. all courtesy of this weatherfront which has been moving slowly southwards on the sides, it will slowly cleared of south close later, but we are left with a north—westerly float bringing in some showers. particularly to parts of northern ireland and northern england as well. south, that front of of rain should ease away from most places, just lingering in the south—west. for devon and formal, bit of a soggy picture in the afternoon. further north, some

brighter skies. temperatures are around 1516 in the south. a bit below par for this around 1516 in the south. a bit below parfor this time around 1516 in the south. a bit below par for this time of year. some brighter spells breaking through as the cloud breaks up, still a few showers across east anglia, northwest, and the northeast and east of scotland slightly brighter. claudio from northern ireland and the western parts of scotland, where we will see showers into the afternoon. if you are hoping to catch a glimpse of the meteor shower, we are looking at the clearest skies across eastern scotland, north—east england and parts of southern england. further west and further north across the country, northern ireland and wales for instance, you are more likely to stay quite cloudy with showers overnight. temperatures remaining in double figures. it will be pretty mild asa double figures. it will be pretty mild as a result the day on sunday. during sunday it is set to be a better day compared to today, added more sunshine on offer. though a bit of showery rain, particularly in north wales and north—west england, northern ireland and the north—west scotland. brighter skies elsewhere.

temperatures a degree or two warmer. 15 to 18 for most of us. and u nsettled 15 to 18 for most of us. and unsettled outlook on monday and tuesday, as low pressure starts to work in from the atlantic. that sets us work in from the atlantic. that sets us upfora work in from the atlantic. that sets us up for a bit of a changeable feel. into next week, the winds are going to be a bit stronger and there will be further outbreaks of rain, particularly the north and west. dry in the south and east. all in all, it's looking pretty unsettled. several high street retailers have stopped selling baby sleep positioners, or baby nests, because of concerns over safety. they've been linked to 12 infant deaths in america. tesco, mothercare, john lewis and boots have all withdrawn the products after a us health regulator said they "can cause suffocation". joining us now is ethna dillon who is a health visitor and also works for cot death charity, the lullaby trust. good morning. can you explain to anyone who does not know, what these things are? how they work. you put a

baby down to sleep, and this position does what? my understanding is it keeps them in the position you put them down to sleep in. here is an example of one. so it stops the baby from doing what? it stops the baby from doing what? it stops the baby from doing what? it stops the baby from rolling over, is the idea. but they seem to be being marketed very effectively. i'm not that familiar with them, if i'm honest. the reason you are concerned is because the advice, and this is where the confusion comes in, pa rents where the confusion comes in, parents say, it's great, if i put my baby in this it will not roll over and therefore not suffocate, which is obviously the concern. but that in itself becomes a problem if they find they are able to roll over. explain that for us. from the point of view of the lullaby trust, the advice that is given is based on research. therefore the advice is evidence —based and we can say we are confident that the

recommendations that baby should be placed on their backs on a flat clear clea n placed on their backs on a flat clear clean surface. all mattress, firm mattress, that is waterproof. we know that's a safe environment, research has told us that. we don't know anything about these new products that have been introduced into the market, where they limit the baby in terms of movement. naturally babies will develop and grow, should learn to move and rollover in their own safe environment. we don't want to inhibit. we want them to be able to do it in inhibit. we want them to be able to do itina inhibit. we want them to be able to do it in a safe environment. with these things being stopped, what is these things being stopped, what is the advice now? clear, firm space, flat space? in the bed, with pa rents, flat space? in the bed, with parents, ina flat space? in the bed, with parents, in a cart? ideally, their own moses basket create alcott in the same room as the parents for every single sleep, during the day as well as night—time. so they can check them regularly and see their face. baby should be on their back, eat at the foot of the cot, with the

ability of making sure that whatever covers they have over them or sleeping bag does not go over their face or head, so they can breathe easily all the time. you are a health visitor, you pop in and see families and advised them and new pa rents. families and advised them and new parents. it's understandable that you would want to just buy as much as you can afford to keep your child safe will stop i think it's understanding what you are keeping them safe from. products are sold and people say they are safe, what does that mean? appearance need to understand why they‘ re does that mean? appearance need to understand why they're playing what they're buying. understand why they're playing what they‘ re buying. —— understand why they're playing what they're buying. —— parents need to understand. we might be talking about the fact does not break easily 01’ about the fact does not break easily or does not burst, it is not a risk of fire, it's not actually talking about whether the baby is at risk of dying in that environment in terms of cot death. what we're talking

about at the lullaby trust is how we minimise the risk of sudden infant death by providing an environment thatis death by providing an environment that is the safest for that, and the advice is research—based so we know we are confident with the information we have the moment. the advice we are given is simple and clear. thank you for clarifying some of that. you see how difficult it is for pa rents of that. you see how difficult it is for parents when there is conflicting advice? thank you. this is breakfast. we're on bbc one until ten o'clock this morning, when donal skehan takes over in the saturday kitchen. donal — what's on the menu for us? this is the moment where we start planning dinner, or a very simple variation on what he's going to do! good morning. 0ur variation on what he's going to do! good morning. our special guest todayis good morning. our special guest today is next to me, it's emily sunday. we are thrilled you are here, and you are here to face your food heaven or hell. tell me about your food heaven. trifle. rosebery, creamy. beautiful. alcoholic. and

your food hell? beetroot. i know you are vegetarian so i'm worried about this element. i hope my mind is changed today. that segways me nicely into the fact we have two brilliant chef said today, it's great to see you back donna hay, tell us what you are going to be cooking. i will be cooking a really easy ricotta gnocchi with fresh and tomato sauce. so you will be fine. and the lovely hosea pesaro. it's not vegetarian, sorry. it's going to be come on america, pan—fried with duck breast with a pumpkin lentils and rocket salad. a little bit vegetarian nephew. don't forget, you quys vegetarian nephew. don't forget, you guys at home are in charge of emily's food heaven or hell. check

the website for details and we will see you at 10am. we already. sorry, just letting everyone know! —— hungry already. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the newspapers. public relations executive and formerjournalist, paul horrocks is here to tell us what's caught his eye. i feel like ifeel like i'm going to nip out and get some food while you do this. have you ever taken as selfie? have you ever taken one with an animal? no, i haven't. apparently it's all the rage. have you, paul? with my own pets, i like to take a picture with the dog occasionally on our walks, but this is all about animal selfies. selfies have been a craze

for years, i thinkjustin bieber was fuelling this craze, taking pictures the tigers. now there has been a survey and eight wildlife selfie code is being launched to help tourists avoid inadvertently fuelling exploitation of wild animals. a wildlife selfie code. there has been research done showing that an instagram, the number of people taking photographs with wild animals, whether they be in zoos or the actual environment, has gone up by 40%. the actual environment, has gone up by a0%. that of course puts animals under stress. there is one lady there actually over a crocodile. what's disturbing about this story is what the world animal protection gi’oup is what the world animal protection group says, this charity, is that behind—the—scenes, what people don't realise is the animals are often beaten into submission, taken from their mums, their mothers, as babies, secretly kept in unsuitable, filthy, cramped conditions. though

the animal may look adorable and tame, it's because it's very much out of its natural environment. last yeari out of its natural environment. last year i went on holiday to a well—known holiday park may have people paying £20 for a photo with a sea lion. the sea lion wasjust people paying £20 for a photo with a sea lion. the sea lion was just on a pedestal and mums and dads were queueing with their kids, all having pictures taken. as you say, you do not know the background. how they are kept. you don't know if they have been tamed with unsuitable tactics. that stories are well -- that story as well of the dolphin washed up on the beach, everyone taking pictures and later died. millennials, broadcasting everything about themselves online and they are making money from it? this is in the guardian. millennials are raking in cash from talking about their own lives. we're not talking about celebrities. these are just ordinary

folk, the story focuses on a man called josh davey he was an estate agent tom huddersfield who spends all day buying and selling houses, but at night, he's only 22, he flicks on the camera and chats with some of his 37,000 fans. what does he talk about? just ordinary things, his life, what he's been doing, he's obviously an engaging person but lots of people are doing this. i didn't know there was this virtual currency, we have heard of virtual gifts, these are now converted into cash. it looks like these live streaming websites sell virtual gifts to people who want to use and observe this person, and when they wrap up enough gifts, they send cash to the person who has done the recording. with your pr hat on, this isa recording. with your pr hat on, this is a new way of selling stuff, isn't it? it's all about endorsement, they will get a kickback from any brands they endorse. another way of making money out of new technology. there

are obvious dangers as well, people getting drawn into things they should not, but it's amazing people can actually make money out of talking about their own lives and get so many followers. what else are you looking at? i'm looking at divorce cases, divorce cases we a lwa ys divorce cases, divorce cases we always thought privatise would be involved in a tracking down errant husbands and wives. apparently the number of private eyes now being used in divorce cases has fallen through the floor, all because technology allows people to spy on each other. it's been blamed for a lot of things has the internet. you mean there's no one in a mac and glasses as a mature we walking around the streets? not any more. the class one, oh jeez. around the streets? not any more. the class one, ohjeez. do around the streets? not any more. the class one, oh jeez. do you use them? —— last one, emoji. the class one, oh jeez. do you use them? —— last one, emojilj the class one, oh jeez. do you use them? -- last one, emoji. i use emoji. once you use them once, they

are automatically attached to the type of message you are sending, but now there's going to be a politically correct emoji with a gender neutralface. politically correct emoji with a gender neutral face. also a wizard, a dinosaurand a gender neutral face. also a wizard, a dinosaur and a mermaid. how can a mermaid have a gender neutralface? merman. you can get momentum. mermaid have a gender neutralface? merman. you can get momentumlj mermaid have a gender neutralface? merman. you can get momentum. ijust thought it was mermaids. you can challenge your mum. if your mum is so good with emoji, there are new ones being introduced as well as the mermaid. there is a fairy, vampire, hedgehog, giraffe, cricket, dumpling, broccoli and apple pie. it had to send all of those to you in an apple pie. my an apple pie. my mum needs no excuse to send an emoji so i'm sure i will get all of those. stay with us. we'll have a summary of the news injust a moment. hello, this is breakfast with

ben thompson and naga munchetty. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. the leader of the scottish conservatives, ruth davidson, has become the latest senior figure to rally round the prime minister — telling her critics to "put up, or shut up". her intervention came after cabinet members rebuked the former party chairman, grant shapps, after he claimed around 30 mps wanted a leadership contest. ms davidson is not the only potential contender to lead the party in westminster to intervene. borisjohnson told a group of conservative mps on the messaging service whatsapp that they should "get behind the pm". speaking to breakfast earlier, nigel evans, one of the mps on the 1922 committee which runs leadership elections, said speculation about the pm's future was not in the national interest.

the sniping from people like grant shapps is then going to be used by people like michel barnier and juncker to say look, there's divisions in the government and maybe we can offer them a worse deal or drag things out and destabilise their own government. he has done us absolutely no favours whatsoever. police investigating the las vegas shooting say they have yet to establish the motive of the gunman, stephen paddock. he killed 58 people at a country music festival in the city last sunday. police say they have examined more than 1,000 leads since then, and are looking into every aspect of paddock‘s life, but still don't have any clear explanation for his actions. i get it — we all want answers. we have looked at everything, literally, to include the suspect‘s personal life, any political affiliation, his social behaviours, economic situation and any potential radicalisation that so many have claimed. there are fears that british jobs

at the aerospace company bombardier could be at risk, after the us government imposed more tariffs on imports of new planes made by the firm. it's part of a dispute with the american firm boeing, and would massively increase duties paid on the c—series model to almost 300%. the wings of the jets are built in belfast, where bombardier employs more than 4,000 people. the uk government says they are "disappointed" but not surprised by the decision. ryanair‘s chief operations officer is to resign at the end of the month, following mistakes over pilot rotas that led to the cancellation of more than 20,000 flights. michael hickey worked at the airline for 30 years and was responsible for the scheduling of pilots' shifts. he's the first executive to leave in the wake of the flight cancellations which have affected more than 700,000 passengers. oil and gas companies in the gulf of mexico have shut their operations as hurricane nate approaches. it has killed at least 2a people in central america

and damaged thousands of homes. the catagory one hurricane is predicted to hit the united states on sunday. the mayor of new orleans has ordered evacuations and a mandatory curfew in some parts of the city. a 15—year—old boy has been arrested after a stabbing in north—west london. the 18—year—old victim was found badly wounded in neasden, brent yesterday afternoon. scotland yard said he died from multiple stab wounds at the scene. the teenager, who was arrested, is being questioned on suspicion of murder and detectives are appealing for witnesses. thousands of people are expected to gather in madrid for a rally in favour of remaining a unified spain. opponents of catalonia's push for independence have called for demonstrations to be held in several spanish cities, including barcelona. spain's government representative in catalonia earlier apologised to those hurt during police efforts to stop the referendum. hundreds of people were injured by police, trying to enforce a court ban on the vote. the time is 9:35am. mike is with us

and you will be talking about the sport. you know you do weird and wonderful things, have you ever do tumbling? yes indeed, back in the summer in spelthorne gym in middlesex. proper tumbling. they build human pyramids and somersault off the top. organised tumbling, not like this. take a look at these. pictures from toronto zoo, to mark the two year anniversary of the pandas. they have released their best bits. the best bits of them falling down! every time i watch these they get better. it's as if they've fallen asleep and then just tumble off. yeah, i think it's slightly cruel, just their worst bits. you could say it's their best

bits! using to be enjoying it. they are almost competing to see who can do the most spectacular and comical fall. it is all part of the learning process , fall. it is all part of the learning process, so when they grow up it will contribute to their development. but nonetheless... chuckles it just looks like but nonetheless... chuckles itjust looks like a good night out, doesn't it? laughter there we go! oooh, a bit of interference going on. let's talk about the football. lets. the good night for wales. 0ne game to go then in world cup qualifying, and wales and the republic of ireland meet on monday to decide who will get at least a play off place... both can still qualify automatically, if serbia slip up again, and both won last night, to keep their hopes alive. patrick gearey watched the action. so, it's all down to monday. wales and ireland separated by the narrowest of channels — a point between them and a match between them still to go. in the battle of georgia

and the dragon, this time the dragon had to win. without the individual brilliance of gareth bale, this was a test of wales the collective. they created plenty in the first half without getting the goal that would settle the butterflies. and with every passing minute, it grew more edgy. but in the key moments of this qualifying campaign, new welsh heroes have emerged. tom lawrence of derby county had never before scored for his country. qualifying is all about timing. and in dublin, not even two minutes were on the clock when stephen ward went hurling. in there with the crucial touch was daryl murphy, a 34—year—old striker in something of a hot streak this season. it took murphy until his 24th game to score for ireland, but when ward picked him out again he proved he'd got the hang of it. effectively all over for moldova. against the team ranked 156th in the world, goals would surely be on offer. shane long hasn't managed one since february. the definition of a long wait. that did not matter, but in cardiff on monday, everything will. so, with serbia losing in austria,

wales can still win the group — it all comes down to monday night in cardiff. that will be some atmosphere, i'm sure, going back home now, for the final game with it all to play for. that's what we wanted to do. we've put ourselves in this position now. hopefully we can enjoy that evening, and have something to celebrate at the end. josh 0nohmah scored a stunning goal, for the england under—21s, as they beat scotland 3—1, in qualifying for euro 2019. 0nohmah is on loan at aston villa from tottenham, and he kept the young lions‘ winning streak, in tact. they haven't lost a european qualifierfor six years. just look at the technique from the youngster, and i do maintain he meant it, even if naga and ben have questioned it. it's the biggest night in the rugby league calendar,

as leeds take on castleford in the super league grand final. leeds have been in the final ten times — and they've won seven of those — but this is all new for castleford. they have man of steel luke gayle in their team, and they enjoyed a brilliant season, finishing top of the league for the first time, in 91 years. a lot of people have been questioning whether we've got the wherewithal to hang tough in a game of this magnitude, and we've got to prove people wrong and show that we've got the metal to be a team that's going to be around for a fair while. ijust know from a coach's point of view and from the inner sanctum of where we've been and how far—away we've been from this place. if you had a distance or a tape measure, at times we've been on the moon. it would be like walking to the moon, if you were saying will this team ever get back to the grand final? i'd tell you we were miles off!

qualifying for the japanese grand prix finished in the last half—hour — and it saw lewis hamilton claim the 71st pole of his career. the championship leader, broke the track record three times, to take his first pole position at suzuka. his mercedes team—mate valtteri bottas was second quickest, but the finn has been penalised for a gearbox change, so hamilton's title—rival sebastian vettel will line up alongside him for tomorrow's race. 17th place may not sound impressive, but british gymnast amy tinkler was pretty pleased with her performance, at the world championships in montreal. she had ankle surgery, only seven weeks ago, so just to be competing was an achievement. she was disappointed with a mishap on the bars in the all—around competition, but she had a great floor routine — that's the discipline that gave her 0lympic bronze in rio. imac buzzing. a bit gutted about my bars, didn't quite go to plan. but

i've been training first seven weeks, feel incredible, to be fair. if everything goes well, i'm hoping to get up there and compete for medals in the next few years. watch this space. it's the version of football that helped brazil and spain win world cups with such flair, and now the home nations are hoping futsal can do the same here. the 5 a side game, puts the emphasis on technique and ball control in a tight space, and this week the new national men's super league started, with the women's due to kick off later this month. one of the strongest teams is in birmingham and ijoined them in training. from the streets of south america where it started to sports halls across the uk, and a new national futsal league. it's the sport with a lot of soul because there's a lot of that involved, rolling the ball with your foot. and the that involved, rolling the ball with yourfoot. and the balls that involved, rolling the ball with your foot. and the balls are that involved, rolling the ball with yourfoot. and the balls are much smaller and less bouncy than normal footballs. it's on a hard court and ina footballs. it's on a hard court and in a restricted area. all this means the emphasis is therefore an tight

control and skills and pressure, as you can see! futsal, it's more about technical ability, awareness. all players tend to get involved in every position on the pitch. you get every opportunity to attack, defend. mental strength, as well. at first, it is a bit of a shock to the system how much quicker than normal football it is. like some footballing dinosaur! futsal has beenin footballing dinosaur! futsal has been in countries like spain, where it is professional, and south america where it started, for 80 yea rs america where it started, for 80 years and is credited for giving these nations football teams of flairand these nations football teams of flair and skill they are renowned for. pele said it was fundamental in his development. so now that the uk has finally caught on, could the new national futsal league is how british football players eventually

become as skilful as the spanish?” think it's more about the culture. we have in every school a futsal pitch or basketball pitch, which is easier to play seven aside or 11 aside. it's improved me when i play foot ball aside. it's improved me when i play football for my school or anything in general with my feet, technically everything. here in birmingham, they found that futsal is reaching parts of the community that football has failed to do so, whether it be they feel more involved in the game, it's indoors, and later this month the birmingham waltz will start competing in the inaugural national futsal league. it's easier to recruit for futsal than football. they seem to just come in from everywhere. it's a great opportunity for girls like me that don't play foot ball for girls like me that don't play football a lot to go out and play football. more intense, you're doing more stuff. it's more running, more

passing. you can see what this new league already means to the fans and teams, especially here at fc salisbury, celebrating an opening—day win. they travel to birmingham this weekend. as the saying goes, it really is now like watching brazil! it is great, you could see what was happening at salisbury how entertaining is to watch. those crowds... much faster. yes, and the thinking time goes like that. i felt like i yes, and the thinking time goes like that. ifelt like i was in a yes, and the thinking time goes like that. i felt like i was in a washing machine. i must say thanks to the manchester futsal team for bringing in the ball. look, at first glance it looks like a normal football.m looks the same. but it is heavier and slightly smaller. it does look smaller. manchester are playing loughborough tomorrow. smaller. manchester are playing loughborough tomorrowm smaller. manchester are playing loughborough tomorrow. it doesn't feel that heavy, the issue is it doesn't bounce. i will demonstrate now. a normal football would doesn't bounce. i will demonstrate now. a normalfootball would come back up and hit me in the face but it almost dies straightaway, so you

need close control with your feet. look at your skills! you are just showing off. there is nobody to tackle me, i couldn't do that in the filming, i hardly got near the ball! skills are unbelievable. they hope what is done for brazil and spain it will do for the likes of england, scotland, wales and northern ireland. if you come after that, it makes a normal ball much easier? yes. you can have a very peaceful evening this evening, if you choose. you can lie on the grass in the garden if you have grass in your garden if you have grass in your garden and look up the skies. there isa garden and look up the skies. there is a meteor shower on tonight. what if it rains? sarah says it is is goodin if it rains? sarah says it is is good in the east and if you are on higher ground. you'd need a number? you could have a clear umbrella and see through it, they do exist! the reason we are talking about this... stargazers across the uk will have the chance to see dozens of shooting stars, this weekend as a meteor

shower reaches its peak. intrepid spotters will be pleased to know that they won't have to stay up until the early hours of the morning, as unusually, the best time to see the draconid will be just after sunset. to tell us more we're joined now by chris copperwheat, an astrophysicist at liverpool john moore university. how will you be watching it, will you be watching it? weather permitting i will, you need a clear and dark sky. this morning as i was coming in it didn't look very promising, but you never know. coming in it didn't look very promising, but you never knowm coming in it didn't look very promising, but you never know. is it going to be as fancy as this? shooting stars, a beautiful streak through the sky is a particle of rock or something interacts and burned up. in a meteor shower there can be hundreds and thousands of shooting stars an hour, so you can get incredibly impressive shows. what happens if there are comets, icy particles passing through the solar system and as they passed

through they leave a trail of material. all the material be, it left behind is left behind in the atmosphere and burning up so we see will be is particles. because they are all parallel, going in the same line, we see them radiating out of the same point. that is where the name comes from. the point where they are all coming from is in the constellation, the dragon, so they are coming out of the dragon's mouth. we have been pronouncing it incorrectly! and the best time to see it question the best time to see it... this is quite special. normally for meteor showers dominate is good, midnight, early hours of the morning even. for this one, the point they all originate from, the radiant point we cool it in draconid is best seen just after sunset. so it is an easy one to do. 7:30pm, eight o'clock? something like that. the sunsets, get yourself in a nice

dark location of it is clear, turn your back to the moon so you are looking at a dark patch of sky and hopefully you will get an impressive shows. how common is this? there are a couple of meteor showers every month, some stronger than others. the famous ones are the ones we hear about and the ones we see early in the year. so there's all these trails on different comets that are passing through. what we don't know is, we can't predict beforehand how many we will see because if they're year to year. this one, in 2011 fro example in europe, they were seeing hundreds per hour. there is another one in case anyone misses it. the 0rion its. one in case anyone misses it. the orion its. later in the month. bigger and better? probably smaller but a good one to look out for is in november. the leon ibbs. we are learning all the pronunciations!m depends which constellation it

originates from. thank you very much for talking to us, chris. who better to ask exactly where to watch these meteor showers, sarah is looking at the weather. you did say east and high ground earlier? yes, to the east of high ground is your best bet. most of the cloud will get stuck to the north and west of the scottish highlands and the pennines. i think these kinds of areas in the north—west, you are less likely to seek clear skies but the cloud is becoming more well broken as we head into the evening. don't write it off. your best bet of seeing some clear spells is to east of high ground and further south. the good news is it is through the early evening, so like me, if your alarm will go off at 3am, you have no excuse to getting outside and seeing those meteor showers. today we have quite a bit of cloud around. this is the scene in wrexham at the moment, some blue sky as well but with those showers, some

beautiful scenes of rainbows coming infor my beautiful scenes of rainbows coming in for my weather watchers. as we had through the day, the frontal system bringing us the off towards the south and east leaving us with a north westerly flow of air, bringing in more showers, particular to the north—west. as we start the day, quite a bit of cloud around. this is the atlantic satellite image. the crowd has been pouring in overnight. through the rest of the day, quite a lot of cloud in the next few hours and some outbreaks of rain in the south. most areas should clear up, lingering in the far south—west of england. elsewhere across the country with that north westerly flow, some brighter spells and some showers. four o'clock this afternoon, there is the rain across cornwall, the isles of scilly and the channel isles but elsewhere across much of southern england, not

too bad. some brighter stars, 15-16d, with the too bad. some brighter stars, 15—16d, with the breeze helping to break up the cloud. went ichazo northwest ingram but north—east england slightly clearer. northern ireland and the west of scotland quite cloudy with further showers. eastern scotland should be largely clear. into the evening, if you're hoping to see those clear skies, most likely to be across eastern scotland, north—eastern parts of england, down toward southern england, down toward southern england and south wales. further north across wales and into northern parts of northern ireland, probably quite cloudy with some showers holding on through the night. mild, temperatures in double figures. a bit hit and miss overnight. tomorrow, the cloud breaking up a bit more. more sunshine than we have today. still some showers for parts of north—west england, perhaps northern ireland and the west of scotland. much of the country should avoid the showery rain tomorrow and with writer wins it will feel a degree or so warm, 14—18. an u nsettled degree or so warm, 14—18. an unsettled outlook because we have low— pressure unsettled outlook because we have low—pressure lining up in the atlantic. it will bring a spells of rain through the week ahead. not too bad on monday but incidentally the winds picked up, some rain on the way, particularly in the north—west. always dressed further south and east. are you guilty of using your mobile

phone when you go out for dinner or does it stay in your bag? i have been guilty of it, i check one little thing and then get distracted, you check one thing and then look at something else. i should keep it well away. and before you know it the restaurant is empty, jazz on the table and everyone has gone home? chuckles i feel is very sorry for someone you are dining with! i try not to, i will try harder, note taken. this restau ra nt will try harder, note taken. this restaurant might be the answer for you. lovely talking to you, enjoy the rest of your day, sarah. there is a restaurant sick of people going in to eat and sitting on their phones instead of talking to each other. the owner of the restaurant and his son came up with the idea to trial a tech free date night at their diner trial a tech free date night at theirdiner in trial a tech free date night at their diner in newport. before we find out how its going, we asked people what they thought about mobiles in restaurants. i wouldn't go to a restaurant if

they told me i couldn't use my phone. i don't need to try to put it away. it's just phone. i don't need to try to put it away. it'sjust a way! it's ok, if you have kids you might need to contact the baby—sitter. we managed before phones came out, we can do it again, it'sa before phones came out, we can do it again, it's a good idea. the amount of people you see, families and the four of them of people you see, families and the fourof them are of people you see, families and the four of them are eating a bit of food... all of them texting. very annoying. generally seen as a rude thing if you're having a meal and using your phone. sat there on my own most of the time staring into space! no, it's not true, i'm not that bad. when i'm out with friends or my boyfriend i try to make a conscious effort to not look as much. to kind of put it in my bag and underthe much. to kind of put it in my bag and under the table and leave it there, because... iagree and under the table and leave it there, because... i agree with the re sta u ra nt there, because... i agree with the restaurant that maybe it should be banned. i don't think there should be any hard and fast rules one way or the other. if you feel like looking at your phone, go ahead and do it. that is what you make of it

all. well, restaurant owner dave roberts and his son danjoin us now, along with consultant psychiatrist doctor louise theodosiou. good morning to you all, welcome. let's start with how this idea all came about. dan, it was your idea, explain how you came up with this idea. it started off with all of us getting distracted by different things, me with my gcses, my mum and dad with their work in the restau ra nt. dad with their work in the restaurant. so we decided to once a week go out to a different restau ra nt week go out to a different restaurant and just not take our phones with us. and have it as a note tech night, where we just speak to each other instead of using our phones. how difficult was it for you to switch off? you're so used to having a phone device and you check it for a of things, like sarah said, you check one thing and end up looking at loads of things. 0riginally it was quite hard. when i got a notification when i went out to eat are used to check it myself.

but after awhile i started getting used to not going on my phone whilst we we re used to not going on my phone whilst we were out about. and it gets easier the more you do it, really. dave, you decided to make it easier for your diners as well, with suggestions of conversation. we have, it's only as a little prompt and just to make the evening a bit lighter, to help the conversations flow and try to get conversations back into our lives. some of the questions such as... at what age should dues stop driving, to get a debate going... your dream job. these suggestions you provide? yet. if you won the lottery, 168 million euros, what would you spend it on! that could go on forever. louise, i suppose it is about the art of conversation. there are suggestions to help you along with it but also changing dynamics between groups of people, be they family or simply friends. absolutely. ithink

people, be they family or simply friends. absolutely. i think you spoke about the pressures you are underasa family, spoke about the pressures you are under as a family, the fact you had exams and one of the wonderful opportunities that eating provides isa opportunities that eating provides is a chance to touch base with people, see how they are, picked up on all their nonverbal cues on the kind of suggestions that you make brilliant. because it allows us to see how people are. what you make brilliant. because it allows us to see how people are. wadi mean nonverbal cues? if you send a text message, we are all aware a text message, we are all aware a text message can be very misleading. if you ask someone how they are, they can say i am fine that you can tell from their body language on the way they are sitting they are not fine. you might build on that and the conversation might move in a completely different direction. you might be able to recognise the money subtly asking you for a bit of help or subtly asking you for a bit of help oran subtly asking you for a bit of help or an opportunity to talk about something. dave, you do thisjust one night a week, what your customers made of it? there has been a fantastic response. everybody has been so positive. even people who book know that it is happening, but even the walk ins, they've all joined in. we've had nothing but

praise for it. so much coverage, so much positivity out of it. i think it's a bit like a yawn. when someone gets a phone out, you tend to get yours out opposite on the table as well. taking that away has helped us. we're notjust talking about phones. a lot of this is portable gaming devices, which parents might traditionally give to their kids to keep them quiet whilst you wait for the food to come. it defeats the object. it defeats the object. it does everything. we had a father coming with a son and the sun brought his nintendo and didn't realise, the father came up to us an hour or so later thanked us and said it was the best night out he had had out with his son and they engaged. it's lovely, the music is lower but you notice so many more people talking. the level of noise goes up. it's fantastic. we have had lots of comments from our viewers. thank you for getting in touch. some answers,

they on a daily bar and says it's a nightmare getting customers orders because they are too busy looking at their phones rather than enjoying their phones rather than enjoying the meal enjoying the event of going out for dinner. it's for your well—being as well, it seems a good idea. absolutely. we encourage exercise and physical health in the same way. well— being exercise and physical health in the same way. well—being and enjoying the company is a good idea. thank you very much forjoining us. enjoy... are you working to my question we are. good luck. is it tech three? no, it's not. thank you for joining tech three? no, it's not. thank you forjoining us. tech three? no, it's not. thank you for joining us. thank tech three? no, it's not. thank you forjoining us. thank you for getting in touch with us today and your comments, much appreciated. hope you enjoy the rest of your saturday. have a great day whatever you're up to, see you soon. bye— bye. this is bbc news. the headlines at 10am. senior conservatives rally around the prime minister — borisjohnson tells mps to get behind theresa may, and turn the fire onjeremy corbyn. rallies are expected in spain against catalonian independence —

after last weekend's disputed referendum. concerns for one of northern ireland's biggest employers after us authorities impose more heavy tariffs on bombardier planes. also in the next hour: a treat in store for sky gazers. the draconid meteor shower could show off dozens of stars in the sky above the uk tonight. and in half an hour the travel show continues its voyage through the balkans.
