for a record eighth time. and sarah has the weather. good morning. well, today is the better day of the weekend for most places. sunny spells, just a few showers towards the north and the west. i will bring you a full forecast throughout the programme. good morning. first, our main story: hurricane nate has hit the united states, causing torrential rain and powerful winds. people in parts of mississippi, alabama, florida and louisiana have been ordered to evacuate their homes. the storm has already caused major damage to several central american countries, leaving at least 25 people dead, before hitting the us as a category one hurricane. luxmy gopal reports. they watched it approach, and now it is here. the us facing the full force of hurricane nate,

winds of up to 150km/h and a storm surges. it has hit the gulf coast of the states as torrential rain and flooding in parts of mississippi, alabama, florida and louisiana, where people have been ordered to evacuate. the central americas already felt it with deaths in honduras, el salvador, costa rica and nicaragua where people are now without running water. and scenes like these have become all too familiar in the last few months. after back—to—back hurricanes irma and maria, people in the caribbean have been left without homes, power or clean water. visiting the islands to see the damage for himself, the united nations secretary general had a stark message. this is something that we are seeing more and more. an increasing intensity of hurricanes, with an increased frequency and devastation. the origin is clear. qe are facing the consequences of climate change.

and, for those facing the immediate impact, all they can do is watch, wait, and prepare for the aftermath. the former prime minister sirjohn major is the latest senior conservative to publicly offer his support to theresa may to carry on as prime minister. writing in the mail on sunday, sirjohn said tory mps should reflect very carefully on what was at stake. he said the country had had enough of what he called the self—absorbed, disloyal behaviour seen in recent weeks. a man has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving after a crash outside the natural history museum in london yesterday. 11 people were injured in the incident. our reporter simonjones is there. good morning to you. more details starting to emerge this morning about what happened here. but not terrorism, that is the key point. that is the key point. and overnight, police issued a statement

saying they very much understood the alarm and concerned that what happened here cause for so many people. you can see here how this sign was damaged. the car went up the pavement, hit a number of people and then came to rest on that side of the street. that is the victoria and albert museum. to give you a sense of where we are and how busy it was yesterday afternoon, just down there at the natural history museum. you also have the science museum, an area very busy with families, so you can understand why people feared the worst. witnesses say a number of people ran from this area. some were screaming, some were crying, and it took police several hours before they were able to declare with certainty that they we re declare with certainty that they were not treating this as a terror incidents, but instead as a road traffic incident. now, 11 people we re traffic incident. now, 11 people were treated, nine of them in hospital. most of them have now been released, including the driver, who will be questioned further. but what

happened here yesterday was such a big response, including armed police. it shows how seriously an incident like this is being taken. spain's prime minister, mariano rajoy, says any declaration of independence by the catalan region will have no effect. a day of rallies has taken place around the country following last weekend's disputed referendum. our europe correspondent james reynolds reports. in spain's capital, demonstrators came out to deliver a simple message — this country should not be broken into pieces. translation: we have come to ask for the unity of spain. we don't want spaniards to fight amongst each other. there is a minority of separatists, but i think the majority of catalans want to be with us. these spanish demonstrators in the southern city of alicante are fed up with flag—waving. they choose to wear neutral white. they are from a new movement called shall we talk? the middle ground of spain is now trying to make itself heard. campaigners here want the authorities in madrid

and barcelona to end their brinkmanship and begin real talks. the campaign for dialogue extends to barcelona, the heart of catalonia's pro—independence movement. politicians on either side have shown recent signs of wanting to find a way out of the crisis. more mass demonstrations expected in the city today may help them to make up the city today may help them to make up their minds. president donald trump has tweeted that years of talks with north korea have failed, adding that only one thing will work. the two nations have been engaged in heated rhetoric over north korea's nuclear activities. president trump has previously warned that the us could destroy north korea, if necessary, to protect america's national interests and defend its allies in the region. mental health staff in the uk are working in a powder keg environment, as assaults by patients soar, according to a bbc investigation. figures obtained by 5 live investigates show there were more than 42,000 reported attacks on staff over the last year.

they included a healthcare assistant who was stabbed to death, and a worker having part of their thumb bitten off. the department of health says it is supporting mental health staff, and plans to create 21,000 new posts by 2021. a woman has been arrested after she allegedly tried to climb the front gates of buckingham palace. the woman, thought to be in her 30s, is being held on suspicion of trespass and is in custody at a central london police station. the incident is not being treated as terror—related, according to officers. the rapper nelly has been arrested after a woman accused him of raping her on his tour bus after a concert near seattle. nelly, whose real name is cornell hayneer, was taken into custody yesterday. in a statement, his lawyer said the claim was completely fabricated. the 42—year—old is currently on tour with the backstreet boys. if you are thinking of going out

for a jog this morning, what about this for inspiration? these couples were taking part in the 18th annual north american wife carrying championship. it was a competitive race, with some thrills and spills, although as you see some wives chose to carry their husbands. they say the couple that exercises together stays together, but i think you would have to be quite resilient to get through this unscathed. it isa it is a bit ofa it is a bit of a favourite on brea kfasts, it is a bit of a favourite on breakfasts, wife carrying. i can remember many years ago mike and steph had ago, and it resulted in steph had ago, and it resulted in steph carrying mike, unsurprisingly. the danger is if you drop your other half it is not great. shall we have a look at the front pages of the papers? the front page of the sunday

times: cartoons levering kids to gambling. some of britain's biggest gambling. some of britain's biggest gambling operators targeting children with their favourite cartoon characters —— luring. politics on so many of the front pages politics on so many of the front pa g es yet politics on so many of the front pages yet again. theresa may plotting to be moat boris in reshuffle. i want the best people in my cabinet says the prime minister. a very different story on the front page of today's sunday mirror. they are running back, as they call it, shock report inside prison. you can see here a couple of bottles of vodka, some cannabis and photographs of business cooking up some smuggled meat. more pictures and full story inside the mirror. the front page of 0bserver, axe the old guard to make way for young stars, the prime minister has been told. donors joining grandees in a reshuffle

call. the picture is a protest in madrid talking about what happened last week with the referendum in catalonia. and the statement here is can we talk? a growing clamour for dialogue between the catalonian government and the spanish national government. the front page of the sunday express. brexit‘s big three backing the pm, borisjohnson, liam fox and david davis urging the party to rally around theresa may. the three brexiteers have thrown their weight behind theresa may. and liam fox has praised the prime minister's great inner strength. the telegraph has this story, again the conservative party on the front page. tories at war as theresa may plans for no eu deal. rebels warned she must make progress by christmas. the picture is emma stone, the actress arriving at a film festival

in leicester square in london for the european premiere of battle of the european premiere of battle of the sexes, in which she plays willie jean king, in the famous match when she played bobby riggs —— billie—jean king. you normally get warnings about not having too many sweets ruining your teeth, but a p pa re ntly sweets ruining your teeth, but apparently popcorn is ruining our teeth and the number of popcorn related goblins that dental surgeries has doubled over the past three years from around 5% of cases to around one in ten. the sugary ones, they are rotting our teeth are opposed to breaking them. really quickly, we won't dwell on this because we have reported it on our news, john major having a blast that treacherous tory rebels. we have heard this over the last few weeks. if you want a new leader, carry on the weight you are going and you will get a new leader, and his name will get a new leader, and his name will bejeremy corbyn —— carry on

the way you are going. you are watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: hurricane nate has hit the coast of louisiana, bringing torrential rain and winds of 85mph. the category one storm has already killed 25 people in central america. sirjohn major has branded theresa mays critics self—absorbed, but says the government must change or risk allowing jeremy corbyn into downing street. also coming up in the programme: click travels to japan, as it aims for the moon, and checks out the latest in robot technology. here is sarah with a look at this morning's weather. there was a meteor shower last night, wasn't there? i don't think anyone got to see it. night, wasn't there? i don't think anyone got to see it. it night, wasn't there? i don't think anyone got to see it. it was night, wasn't there? i don't think anyone got to see it. it was a night, wasn't there? i don't think anyone got to see it. it was a bit cloudy overnight. there were some clear spells overnight across eastern parts of the country. some in the south as well, but many of us

did have fairly cloudy skies obscure in the view of that meteor shower. through the course of today, the cloud we have will continue to break up. this was taken yesterday in highland. similar scenes today. up. this was taken yesterday in highland. similarscenes today. blue skies breaking through the cloud so a day of sunny spells and a few occasional showers. some places will avoid the showers altogether. the area is more likely to see the showers are this morning through parts of northern ireland, the west of scotland, one or two filtering into parts of north—west england as well. but there will be some brighter spells perhaps to the south of northern ireland. temperatures around 12 degrees in belfast first thing. some brightness also through central parts of scotland but a few showers through aberdeenshire. some sunny spells for the north—east of england but in the north—west more cloud bringing one or two showers. largely dry, of wales with a bit of brightness breaking through. towards the south—west of england a few showers across parts of cornwall and largely dry if somewhat cloudy to start the date across central and south—east parts of england. through

the day the sunshine will break up that clouds of most of us it will be brightening up later on. we will continue to see some rain easing up from northern ireland, continuing across the western parts of scotland into the north—west of england as well. to the south and east of showers we should stay largely dry. 13 to 17 degrees today and less windy than it was yesterday so the better date of the weekend for most of us. into the evening and overnight, more rain working in towards the north—west, courtesy of this weather front. as we head through the night that will bring cloud and drizzly rain to parts of scotland, northern ireland as well. further south across the country, still fairly cloudy tonight and underneath that blanket of cloud can be fairly mild on monday morning. during the day on monday, continuing to see showers moving in from the west. 0ne to see showers moving in from the west. one or two of the showers making its way towards eastern parts of the country during the afternoon but not too much on the way of wet weather here. brighter spells in the east. during tuesday a frontal system works its way gradually south

eastwards a cross system works its way gradually south eastwards across the country. i think a spell of wet weather clearing to leave some sunshine. quite blustery, i think, with temperatures around 18 degrees. more rain lurking towards the north—west, and that should set us up fairly u nsettled and that should set us up fairly unsettled but last resort of week ahead. —— blustery sort of week ahead. now, we can all dream but what would you do if you won 168 million? that's how much one single lucky ticket holder in spain won on friday night's euromillions. later on, we'll speak to a former winner. but first, would it be a holiday, a house, or a wardrobe full of designer handbags? these people in hull have been telling us what they'd spend the money on. a nice house, a nice holiday. a bit

of time off work. being able to visit friends and stuff like that. family first. the children, making sure they are all right, and then some to charity. a new house. some adaptions for me, all of them on a new house. have a very, very big, nice holiday, have a nice house, and a very nice car. i would buy hull fc and make them better. a very nice car. i would buy hull fc and make them betterlj a very nice car. i would buy hull fc and make them better. i would carry on working because i like myjob and i would spend it all on my family. carrying on working with 168 million quid in the bank! so, what would you spend the money on if you won the jackpot? we want to hear from you.

you can e—mail us at bbcbrea kfast@bbc. co. uk or share your thoughts with other viewers on our facebook page. and you can tweet about today's stories using #bbcbrea kfast or follow us for the latest from the programme. it isa it is a life changing amount of money. i would have a live-in chef. yeah. i do like that. we'll be back with a summary of the news at half past six. now, it's time for the film review with mark kermode and ben brown. hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so, mark, what do we have this week? we have blade runner 2049, the eagerly awaited sequel to blade runner. the glass castle, starring brie larson. and the mountain between us

with idris elba and kate winslet. now, blade runner 2049, the replicants are back. people are saying this is as much a classic as the original. how do you see it? i went in in a state of extreme trepidation because i love blade runner, the final cut, the proper version. i went into this very worried about it. it's set 30 years after the first film. in the first film harrison ford was a blade runner, hunting down and retiring replicants. now, ryan gosling as k is carrying on that profession. early on in the film one of his targets says, he can only do it because he has never seen a miracle, a phrase he doesn't understand, but he comes to during the course of the movie. as he does so, he starts to wonder about his profession, hisjob, his past and his identity. inevitably, his assignment leads him on to the trail of harrison ford's deckard. here's a clip. what are you doing here?

i heard the piano. don't lie. it's rude. you're a cop. i'm not here to take you in. oh, yeah? then what? ijust have some questions. a lot of praise for harrison ford's performance. i think harrison ford is great, but the key performance is denis villeneuve, the director, who has done a brilliantjob of following on the themes of the original blade runner. ridley scott's blade runner had visual awe, and thanks to some fantastic cinematography from roger deakins, this takes your breath away visually. it's spectacular, depicting a world

that appears to go on for ever, completely immersive, you can totally believe in it. it also has a groaning, roaring soundtrack that dances around memories of the original vangelis score. most importantly, it has the confidence to take its time telling the story. the original story, although it was science fiction, it was about what it meant to be human and what memories do in the formation of our personality. how do we define our identity? big science—fiction ideas. blade runner 2049 says these are the ideas that matter and we will run with them. about 30 minutes into the film, when i realised it really did have the confidence to take its time and pace itself, i heaved a sigh of relief because i was so glad that denis villeneuve had clearly taken the spirit of the original. i have seen it twice now. the first time, i was just knocked out by the way it looks and sounds, the way it was as a cinema experience. the second time around, what was fascinating was the way it became a melancholy experience. it's a film steeped in sadness, the idea "tears in rain",

the key element of the original blade runner. if you're a fan, a genre movie fan, and blade runner is important to you, as it is to me and a lot of people, we really wanted the sequel to be good, but everyone was scared because where do you take the story and how will you not trip up? that sense of palpable relief and ecstatic excitement, that not only has denis villeneuve understood, loved and paid homage to the original, he has also moved it on and made a modern science—fiction classic. it looks back to metropolis, taking its place in the pantheon alongside films like 2001, and i don't say this lightly, it's a film that blade runner deserved to have come after it. i just thought it was wonderful. we have clearly seen the original, we are of that age. do you have to have seen the original to enjoy this? my own feeling would be, if you haven't seen the original, go and see it because it's a really important film. but i think you do have to see the original. heaven knows it's available

in enough different versions. seven versions, i've read. you have to see ridley scott's final cut version that sorts out all the little problems. because then the experience of seeing 2049 will be so much richer because you will understand the resonance of things that happen in the latter third of the film. and who wouldn't want to see blade runner again? exactly. the glass castle, brie larsen and woody harrelson. based on a memoir by jeannette walls. it opens on a successful gossip columnist, played by brie larson, engaged to a financial adviser. going home in a taxi, she sees her parents, woody harrelson and naomi watts, crawling around in dumpsters looking for trash. it flashes back to her itinerant upbringing. her mother was an artist more interested in paintings than cooking food for the kids. herfather was a rebel, believing in building the glass castle, but also a belligerent bully and drunk. the movie flips backwards and forwards between the present—day story and the past. i have to say it's not an entirely happy marriage. it's directed by destin daniel cretton, who worked with brie larson brilliantly on the independent hit short term 12, which really announced brie larson to the world.

she is very good, but not in the most important part of the film. the most important part of the film is the story of the character when she is much younger, growing up with these parents who are totally reckless in their parenting and have this hippy—dippy ideal of how you should raise kids, but the kids are in danger, bullied, and deprived in some ways. i kept wanting the film to come together more than it does, but it has very solid performances. it's directed with heart, but it's not quite dramatically pulling itself together for me. the mountain between us, kate winslet and idris elba. a survival story and a love story. two for the price of one. a snowstorm, they both need to get somewhere so they charter a small plane that goes into the side of the mountain. they are stranded there, no record of theirflights, no food or phone signal. apparently they have nothing in common. here's a clip. are you 0k?

a couple of bruises, a few scratches. couple of cracked ribs, i got lucky. you didn't file a flight plan? no. there was radio contact. how long has it been? 36 hours. we've got plenty of water, as long as we can melt the snow. four packets of almonds, a couple of candy bars, half—eaten sandwich and some cookies. what kind of cookies? what?

joke. did it grip you, did it grab you? the problem, will they survive, will they run out of food or will a relationship develop? the plane crash reminded me of the film alive, as did the setup, but it turns into alive actually. it's a strange generic hybrid. it has two very solid performances from idris elba and kate winslet, but it never convinces me of their circumstances. i never felt they were genuinely endangered. it walked a very strange path between being one kind of movie and another kind of movie. directed by hany abu—assad, a terrific director. based on a book by chris martin. some individual scenes work well, but it is at its strongest when it deals with the idea of what will people do when they are in isolation, trying to survive, when they aren't think they will never get back to the real world.

it works less well when it's dealing with other things and trying to be something that is closer to a disaster movie, survival movie and romance movie. one of those three elements will not necessarily gel with the rest. it's not bad, but it's just not convincing. alive actually, i'm sure movie producers are thinking of that concept and drawing up a script as we speak. maybe that was it. what is best out at the moment? they have rereleased the coen brothers' film blood simple from the early 1980s. the coen brothers did a director's cut that was shorter than the original, which i am all in favour of. it's been reissued in a 4k transfer, and it's every bit as thrilling as it was when it first came out. it's a neo—noir, double—crossing, dirty tricks, some genuine horror. i first saw it in a double bill with one of sam raimi's evil dead films. the coens and raimi were good friends. the coen brothers went on to make fargo and no country for old men. watching this now, you remember how thrilling, dark and strange this was when it first came out. and knowing what the coen brothers went on to do, it's interesting

to see the seeds of those ideas in blood simple. it's well worth seeing in the cinema. and on dvd? wonder woman. for me, it's that rarest of things, a modern superhero movie that i really had fun with and enjoyed. i think pattyjenkins did a terrific job of taking this character and giving her a whole new screen life. when you think of how dreary and boring batman versus superman was, how much of a plod it felt, this feels lively and vibrant and different. it feels like it's taking an idea and running with it in a way that opens it up to a whole new audience. i remember sitting in the cinema when i first saw this and you could feel people enjoying the movie. there was none of that ponderous chin stroking. the movie was jumping off the screen and i think it's really good, wonder woman. i missed it at the cinema so i'm looking forward to it.

you have to see it on a big television screen. i will come round your place! we'll do it this weekend, marvellous. a quick reminder before we go that you will find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online, and you can find all the previous episodes on the bbc iplayer. that's it for this week, thank you very much for watching and goodbye from us. hello, this is breakfast, with rogerjohnson and tina daheley. good morning. here is a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news: hurricane nate has hit the united states, causing torrential rain and powerful winds. people in parts of mississippi, alabama, florida and louisiana have been ordered to evacuate their homes. the storm has already caused major damage to several central american countries, leaving at least 25 people dead, before hitting the us as a category one hurricane. the former prime minister sirjohn major is the latest senior conservative to publicly offer his support to theresa may

to carry on as prime minister. writing in the mail on sunday, sirjohn said tory mps should reflect very carefully on what was at stake. he said the country had had enough of what he called the self—absorbed, disloyal behaviour seen in recent weeks. a man has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving after a crash outside the natural history museum in london yesterday. 11 people were injured in the incident. a man in his 40s is in custody. police say the incident is not terror related and they are appealing for witnesses. spain's prime minister, mariano rajoy, says any declaration of independence by the catalan region will have no effect. a day of rallies has taken place around the country following last weekend's disputed referendum. campaigners who want direct talks between madrid and barcelona gathered at town halls. translation: have the absolute

reassurance that the government will prevent reassurance that the government will p reve nt a ny reassurance that the government will prevent any declaration of independence from turning into something. spain will continue to be spain, and it will continue being spain, and it will continue being spain for spain, and it will continue being spainfora spain, and it will continue being spain for a long time. president donald trump has tweeted that years of talks with north korea have failed, adding that only one thing will work. the two nations have been engaged in heated rhetoric over north korea's nuclear activities. president trump has previously warned that the us could destroy north korea, if necessary, to protect america's national interests and defend its allies in the region. a woman has been arrested after she allegedly tried to climb the front gates of buckingham palace. the woman, thought to be in her 30s, is being held on suspicion of trespass and is in custody at a central london police station. the incident is not being treated as terror—related, according to officers. the rapper nelly has been arrested after a woman accused him of raping her on his tour bus after a concert near seattle.

nelly, whose real name is cornell hayneer, was taken into custody yesterday. in a statement, his lawyer said the claim was completely fabricated. the 42—year—old is currently on tour with the backstreet boys. moving on to sport. i think everybody thought that castleford we re everybody thought that castleford were odds—on in the grand final, didn't they yesterday? but leeds have a knack for pulling it out of the bag when it matters, especially when they have big names like the captain to give a sendoff to as well. kevin esteve field moved on as well. kevin esteve field moved on as well. —— kevin sinfield. these names a lwa ys well. —— kevin sinfield. these names always go out with a super league win. it must be something they have in their blood. a bit disappointing

for castleford, as they didn't acquit themselves really... they we re acquit themselves really... they were the top of the table during the season and only managed to score right at the end. it could have been a complete whitewash by leeds. leeds rhinos have cemented their standing as the most successful side in super league history by winning an eighth grand final. they beat castleford, the team that finished top of the league during the regular season, by 24—6. but, as adam wild reports, castleford couldn't produce their best when it mattered the most. the biggest team for the very biggest occasion. leeds rhinos, super league champions once again. but this was a title hard earned. at old trafford, it was their neighbours who arrived as favourites. just 20 miles separates leads from castleford. in recent yea rs on leads from castleford. in recent years on the field, these clubs have been much further apart. still, the tigers have been a team of the year, that was until the moment it really mattered. their first grand final,

leeds' tents, experienced a toll right at the start. tom briscoe's try and the first half. castleford's fairy tale ending as another is beginning. danny mcguire now leeds leeds after 16 years as a player. this was some parting gift. two tries for him, two for briscoe. leeds dominant, ruthless, and ultimately unstoppable. so castleford leave here bitterly disappointed. they say there is no substitute for experience. leeds have proved that they are super league champions once more. and there is some live sport this morning. the japanese grand prix is under way at suzuka. championship leader lewis hamilton started from pole, and made the perfect getaway. his title hopes were boosted with problems for rival sebastian vettel. the german had problems on the grid, and a spark plug was changed before the start, but on the first lap

he dropped from second to sixth place. max whitlock has become the first british gymnast to retain a world title, by taking gold in the pommel horse in montreal. the olympic champion was competing in his first final since rio. he now has six world championship medals — more now than beth tweddle and louis smith. ididn't i didn't even think about it. it didn't even come into my head that it would be history to do that until isaw...i it would be history to do that until i saw... i think it was your tweet this morning. and it made me feel a bit nervous, and it put things into perspective a bit more. so ijust tried to put that to the side. i try and focus on what i do, like i a lwa ys and focus on what i do, like i always do. focus on myjob, and my job was to go there today and perform as good as i possibly can. i mean, that is what sport is all about. champions exeter are back on top of rugby union's premiership table, after a bonus—point win over newcastle. the closest game of the round, though, was at the madejski stadium, where leicester just inched their way past london irish to win by a single point.

28—27 the final score, withjonny may scoring his sixth try in six games. there were also wins for gloucester and bath. johnny sexton became leinster‘s all—time leading points—scorer after they beat munster 23—17 in pro14 yesterday. rory o'loughlin scored both of leinster‘s tries, but it was the boot of sexton that really made the difference. elsewhere, scarlets beat ospreys by a point. chelsea ladies have maintained their excellent start to the wsl season with a 1—0 win over liverpool. chelsea have now scored 13 goals in their three wins so far this season. manchester city also won. they beat everton 3—2. england may have made sure of their place at next year's world cup, but a route to russia via the play—offs remains a possibility for the rest of the home nations heading into the crucial final round of qualifying matches. wales and northern ireland are second in their respective groups, as are scotland, who are in slovenia ahead of their match at 5:00pm today. after victory against slovakia on thursday, the scots know another win will secure their playoff berth.

as soon as we walked off the pitch, as soon as soon as we walked off the pitch, as soon as we as soon as we walked off the pitch, as soon as we walked in the dressing room, i could sense it already. there was no singing and dancing, anything like that. we realised they area anything like that. we realised they are a good side, we have to play another good side. as a group of individuals, we know how important it is to everybody. we know how important it is because we're all getting texts from all our friends, wishing good luck, and e—mails, and people we have not heard from in a wee while. so we know that. northern ireland are expected to field their strongest team for the world cup qualifier in norway today. they are already guaranteed to finish second, and could be assured of a play—off place before the game even starts, if other results go their way. we have been good in the doubleheaders to date. and again, you know, as i say, we come into this game knowing there is a huge amount at stake. we have neverfor one minute thought it was anything

other than that. and you can tell already that the players are looking forward to the game. but they know that bitterly they have to try and make sure they win the game as well. there is no pressure on england, of course, after they secured their world cup place on thursday, but manager gareth southgate will be hoping for a much improved performance when they travel to lithuania. southgate has opted to replace goalkeeperjoe hart with jack butland — a chance for butland to challenge for a more regular spot in goal. we are all after the same shirt, but we are all keen to push each other and make sure that we are all performing to a high standard, because ultimately that needs success for us because ultimately that needs success for us as a because ultimately that needs success for us as a nation. so there is brilliant rivalry that, but also great friendship between all of us. and we supported joe excellently the other night, and he obviously went on to make some great saves and put ina on to make some great saves and put in a really good performance for us, which is what we want. and i am sure it would go the opposite way if it was someone else it would go the opposite way if it was someone else in the goal. tyrell hatton has a five—shot lead going into the final round of the alfred dunhill links in scotland later today. the defending champion pulled clear of the field yesterday

at kingsbarns, shooting seven birdies in total. the final round will take place at the old course at st andrews. simona halep has surged to number one in the world for the first time, after reaching the china open final. the romanian defeated latvia's jelena ostapenko, 6—2, 6—4, in theirsemi—final. her ousting of spaniard garbine muguruza as the world's top woman player will be officially confirmed on monday when the latest rankings are released. halep will play caroline garcia in the decider. garcia beat petra kvitova in the other semi. garcia must win the final if she is to have a chance of replacing britain'sjohanna konta in the end—of—season wta finals. manchester's anthony crolla has put himself in pole position for another shot at a world title, after a points victory over ricky burns last night. fighting at the manchester arena for the first time since the terrorist attack there, crolla delighted the home fans by edging a tight contest with a unanimous decision on the judges‘ scorecards. and finally, some dramatic pictures from the tour of lombardy, in italy. 40km from the finish, belgian laurens de plus somehow managed to escape serious injury after this frightening crash.

the 22—year—old was taken to hospital, and was said to be ok. his team confirmed he suffered no serious injuries. the race was won by italy's vincenzo nibali. yes, i mean, it does look like a slightly soft landing on the other side of that barrier once he has landed. and when you see him going over, you don't know what's on the other side. it brings back memories, there were problems at the olympics in brazil. yes, where it was really slippery. and they come down so fast down the descent. sunny and dry there, just maybe misjudged the corner. he is ok, all good. mental health staff in the uk are working in a powder keg environment, as assaults

by patients soar, a bbc investigation has revealed. figures obtained by 5 live investigates show there were more than 42,000 reported attacks on staff in 2016 to 2017 in the mental health trusts who responded. that is more than a quarter higher than for the same trusts four years earlier. let's talk to the show‘s presenter now, adrian goldberg. thank you forjoining us. why has there been such a big rise? well, mental health staff, according to the unions, anyway, are facing unprecedented pressures. they refer to cuts and so on. and the fact that not only are their cuts on the wards but also staff in the community they say are being more extended than ever so say are being more extended than ever so when people do finally get admitted as inpatients they are more seriously ill now than there has beenin seriously ill now than there has been in the past. that is the union's side of it. the government say they have invested a record £11.6 billion in mental health in the last year and have created

21,000 new posts, by 2021. i have been around a few wards myself to talk about this. a couple of issues raised not particular by the unions but by ordinary members of staff are that carrying knives now is much more common in society as a whole. so if it is more common in society asa so if it is more common in society as a whole, that policy and that practice is being transferred into the wards by patients, who are in many cases seriously ill. also the rise of so—called substances, things like spice and so on, pretty serious drugs to take but if you are already psychotic and delusional they can add to your problems. so you have this commendation of factors leading toa this commendation of factors leading to a significant rise in the number of assaults on mental health staff by patients. you talked about the knives on the streets finding their way on to mental health wards. there has to be a failure in checking, has in there? i went to award in birmingham and eight there told me about a serious incident he had seen in which a colleague was stabbed by a newly admitted patient, once

through the hand and the second time through the hand and the second time through the hand and the second time through the chest, narrowly missing their heart and lungs. that member of staff really only avoided death bya of staff really only avoided death by a matter of an inch. that department has a policy of searching every patient before they go on the ward. in the last year they have confiscated 147 knives from patients across their trust. so they are picking up knives of patients that otherwise might be used against staff, roughly three times a week. that gives you some scale of the problem. that is one mental health trust. how has the government responded to this? as i say, they say they are making in record investment in mental health, £11.6 billion last year, and creating 21,000 new posts by 2021 and they would expect any trust with an issue like this to be liaising with the police as well. it is really interesting, and alarming as well. thank you. you can hear more on this story at 11:00 on bbc radio 5 live investigates, and if you miss that,

you can catch it later on the bbc radio iplayer. the main stories this morning: hurricane nate has hit the us gulf coast. the category 1 hurricane nate has hit the us gulf coast. the category1 storm has already killed 25 people in central america. sirjohn major has branded theresa may's critics self absorbed. he said the government must change or risk allowing jeremy corbyn into downing street. let's find out what is happening with the weather. this picture was taken in scotland. some blue skies, sunshine around. most parts of the country, a largely dry day. the day today of the weekend. sunny spells. a few showers

in northern ireland. the west of scotla nd in northern ireland. the west of scotland as well. some going down north—west england. nine o'clock this morning. cloudy in northern ireland. rain in the west of scotland. central and eastern scotland, mostly dry. north—east england, sunny spells. cloudy in north—west england. showers in cheshire. wales and the south—west, sunny spells. showers in the isles of scilly. cloud thinning and breaking. through the day, the rainy northern ireland goes away. heading in through the west of scotland, continuing in cumbria and lancashire. the east of scotland and north—east england, staying dry. elsewhere in the country, dry weather. temperatures between 13 and 17. lighter winds than yesterday.

during the night, fairly cloudy in many parts of the country. outbreaks of rain continuing, especially in the north. courtesy of this weather front moving in from the atlantic and going east through the night and on into monday morning. a cold front pushing into the west on monday. bringing showery rain. that will continue for the west of the country. this patchy rain will go east through the day. eastern england and eastern scotland, a lot of dry weather. that is perform all wet weather a rise in the west later on. temperatures, lower. the u nsettled on. temperatures, lower. the unsettled theme continues. a weather front going to the south—east. fizzling out. sunshine and showers. not a bad day. more rain in the north—west. that sets us up for the week ahead. breezy and unsettled. most of the rain in the north—west of the country. who are more likely

to stay dry further south and east. —— you are. thank you very much. we'll be back with the headlines at 7am, but now it's time for click. this week click team is injapan. in the land that inspired blade runner, we're spending two weeks exploring this unique country as it aims for the moon, reaches for the stars and tries to look after its own backyard. it's going to be a wild ride. and, just like in other parts of the world, a lot of fascinating research goes on insidejapan's academic institutions. here at the university of tokyo, they're putting

something very interesting down on paper. this is projection mapping, where an image is projected onto a specially—marked surface and as the surface moves, the projector warps its image to keep it in the right place. the difference between this and everything we have seen previously is just how accurately the project follows the surface. the system is scanning the marker dots and understands the scene 1,000 times every second, which really is faster than the eye can see. and it's this super—fast processing of the environment that professor masatoshi ishikawa thinks will be necessary when we hand over more control to machines. how have you done that?

what's the science behind this? we're notjust talking about projecting an image onto a fast moving object either. they can also follow an object with a camera with incredible precision. just look at how this ball is staying absolutely in the middle of the shot no matter how fast i move it. in fact, remember, it's 1,000 frames a second so we can even do this. instead of having to physically move the projector or here, the camera, it's this mirror that moves

to catch the action, reflecting it up into the lens. although there are no concrete plans to use this in the tokyo 2020 olympics, this would certainly give you a proper ball‘s—eye view of televised sport. and that super—fast image processing can also be put to other uses, including reacting to an opponent's hand gesture in the as yet non—olympic sport of rock, paper, scissors. see, that was so fast i didn't even know whether it beat me. paper. scissors. that's too fast for my brain to actually work out what's going on. just for a record, it's identifying my moves as soon as i start to open my hand and then countering with a winning move for my hand is fully open. so, basically, it's cheating.

it may have won the game but i can take the moral high ground. now to chiba, just outside tokyo, where japan's biggest tech—fest is being held. each year ceatec attracts more than 600 companies, many of whom show off their new ideas before they're due to come to market. dan simmons is there to show us the best of them. ceatec seems to be full of these cute robots, but they're not as helpful as they look. i would rather show you something you might find useful. it may look like a microwave oven but this piece of kit is designed to tell me the number of calories and the sort of fat content, protein, carbohydrates of any dish that i put in there. at the moment itjust works with simple dishes. it uses near infrared light and analyses the reflections of those

inside the device and it should work with any sort of food. eventually. it only takes about ten seconds and here is what we have. this piece of quiche, pretty calorific, i might say. i might leave that one in there. it struggles with several foods on one single plate and readings on my quiche varied a bit. so panasonic says the caloraco is still a few years away. but fish has to be good for you, right? so, doctor, i'm having these stomach pains... computer speaks japanese man speaks japanese computer: what did you eat yesterday? i ate some sushi. man and computer converse in japanese i see. then i'll check so

please wait a moment. and i'm waiting a moment. and that sort of interaction, eye contact, can be kept and also nobody needs to touch any device either. it seems quite natural, apart from that long distance call wait. the translation is done in the cloud so response times will depend on cellular signal strength. this manga book has had a makeover and again translation is on hand. panasonic's cocotto love to teach children. it praises and cautions them while encouraging them to do daily tasks like eating vegetables or cleaning teeth. parents can get the robot to nudge the child in the right direction through the app. but cocotto cannot be thrown, or it will break. it's a cushion with a waggy tail. it wags differently depending on how you stroke it. i think it's time for man versus machine. for the first time ever, this year's version omron's table tennis playing robot we've previously featured on the show serves. didn't get much of a rally in there.

it's faster and it's meaner. now, as well as tracking the ball, it's also tracking my body language, which omron says means it can detect when i'm about to go for a smash and respond accordingly. it didn't even move, did it? let's face it. it didn't even move when i went for that smash. are you ok?

at a swish cross—continent press event this week, google showed off its new goodies specifically designed for the home, and i popped along for a gander. they're there when you need them, they're simple to use, and they anticipate your needs. we're introducing mini. first up, the new home mini. this cute doughnut is a more compact version of the home, an assistant set to rival amazon's echo dot, with a pricetag to match ofjust under £50. of course a premium version called max with its main mission of playing music changes audio levels according to its ambient surroundings. top of the line up, however, was the search giant's flagship smart phone starting at £629. and here it is. this is the google pixel 2. this is the xl version, which is six inches in size, the regular pixel‘s five inches. this moves the speakers so when you're watching a movie in landscape mode you're not muffling any of the audio.

it also has a nifty feature called live edge which when you squeeze the phone it brings up google assistant which can then help you on your way. what's the best phone? hmmm... its camera has had a reboot too. it comes with a clever portrait mode which creates depth of field found in professional photos with only a single lens, using machine learning to do so. verifications and reminders all without pushing any buttons. with the new always—on display, the phone also shows you what song is playing in the background of wherever you are. it's always listening. the pixel 2, particularly the xl version,

is really good. high—end, meets the specs of the other competitors too. but it's only got a tiny percentage of the market, 0.5% compared to iphone and samsung. it's got a tremendous amount of work to do to catch up. that's what was interesting, the vp of hardware came right out and said that we've basically rached the same level for all high—end handsets at the moment, they've all got the same specs, they all look the same, they've all got the same standards. so he was saying that they're going to now rely on the software and machine learning ai really to try and make these things better than their competitors. and after having a dig at apple last yearfor getting rid of a 3.5mm audiojack, google has done the same. pixel 2 users will have to use an adaptor which fits into the usbc charging port to listen with wired headphones, which is included with the phone. or they could buy new pixel buds, which when used with google translate, they say this allows wearers to chat to people speaking a different language. but anyone who has tried google translate, they know how that will go.

hey, isabelle, how's it going? absolutely 0k. thank you. at £159 for the pair, the earphones themselves have five hours of battery life but can be repowered up to four times on their special charging case. bud or duds? we'll soon see. that's it for the shortcut of click from this week from japan. the full—length version is up on iplayer for you to watch right now. don't forget, there's loads of extra content on facebook and twitter. we live @bbcclick. thanks for watching and we'll see you soon. hello, this is breakfast, with rogerjohnson and tina daheley. hurricane nate hits the us gulf coast. the storm has already killed at least 25 people in central america, and it is expected to bring torrential rain and flooding

to at least four states. good morning, it is sunday 8 october. also this morning: sirjohn major becomes the latest senior tory to rally around theresa may, hitting out at what he calls self—absorbed behaviour in the party. a man has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving after 11 people were injured in a crash at london's natural history museum. spain's prime minister says he won't rule out sacking
