showers to the west. a full forecast coming up. 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 louisana 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. they watched it approach, and then it hit. the us is facing the full force of hurricane nate, winds of up to 150km/h, with storm surges. the category one hurricane 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 tens

of thousands of people are now without running water in costa rica. 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. there is an increased intensity of hurricanes, an increased frequency, and devastation. and the origin is clear. we 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. writing in the mail on sunday, sirjohn said tory mps should " reflect very ca refully" on what was at stake. let's get the latest from our political

correspondent susana mendonca. how significant is this intervention? it is because john major when he was prime minister knew all too well be pressures of having people plotting in the background trying to get rid of you. significant he is coming to the defence of theresa may. he talks about how she has been valiant. how these people plotting against have been disloyal. he warns against that and against danger to the conservative party. if it can't win back the hands and minds of people it's lost in the general election, potentiallyjeremy corbyn it's lost in the general election, potentially jeremy corbyn and it's lost in the general election, potentiallyjeremy corbyn and the labour party could be beneficiaries of that. theresa may's position looked precarious at her problematic speech. she spoke about that in the

sunday papers talking about frustration and the discomfort of the speech but talking about resilience. downing street have batted of the —— batted off her position and reversing. the key thing here is that police are saying this was not terror related. it took officers several hours to determine that this was a road traffic incident. a statement said what happened you did cause alarm. workers have started to write some of the concrete barriers damaged by what has happened. the

car ca reered damaged by what has happened. the car careered up the pavement and ended up on the other side of the street outside... it was busy with families here yesterday afternoon. the science museum is just up here. and the natural history museum is just up here. 11 people were injured including the driver, a man in his fortiess. the driver will face further questioning today, but this isa sign further questioning today, but this is a sign of the heightened state of alert with armed officers coming in, the area being cordoned off. police say they have to do investigate what happened and react. the spanish prime minister says any

declaration of independence by catalonia will have no effect. in an interview with a spanish newspaper there was a rejection of mediation. translation: you have the reassurance that any declaration of independence will not turn into something. spain will continue to be spent and will continue to be spent for a long time. —— continue to be spain for for a long time. —— continue to be spainfora for a long time. —— continue to be spain for a long time. if so, cocaine that has been found would fetch £200 million. seven men have been arrested. north korea

studs president trump said that the united states could destroy north korea to protect its national interest and its allies. nelly has been accused of raping a woman on his tour bus. the rapper is on tour with the backstreet boys.

his representative said it is fabricated. there is only one week to go until old pound coins are taken out of circulation. from midnight next sunday, the round pound will lose its legal tender status and will not be accepted in shops or restaurants. people are urged to spend them before then. it will investigate more than 30 years of failure to protect young people in care from abuse starts tomorrow. but what could the inquiry into rochdale council mean for the victims? we're joined now by sammy woodhouse, a survivor of a grooming gang in rotherham, who gave evidence at the independent inquiry into child sexual exploitation there. how much of a difference can this

make? a huge difference. the rather investigation started as a criminal investigation started as a criminal investigation and turned my life around. i was given support and feel like i am a different person. slightly different with rochdale because one of the main perpetrators in this, cyril smith, has died. it is said there will be no prosecutions as a result of this historical abuse. what can survivors hope for? this is about getting to the truth. our word is never good enough, unfortunately. it has to be there in black and white for the whole country to see. you decided to waive europe and then —— waving your

anonymity. a weight off my shoulders andi anonymity. a weight off my shoulders and i feel like my life anonymity. a weight off my shoulders and ifeel like my life is getting back on track, i am me, not living in the past and looking forward. difficult to get to the stage are at now, but how tough it has been? difficult to get to the stage are at now, but how tough it has beamm has been a journey, hard to put into words. it is important to get the support. i could not have done it on my own. that is why i have been able to change my life around and i would not have been able to do that without it. you have talked before about being at your worst. how have you changed the way you think about yourself? for a long time i was very angry, blamed myself, but it was my

fault. i have had to let that go now and come to terms with the abuse. it was not my fault because i was just a child. he has received 35 years to think about what he did to myself and other people. it is about coming to terms with it and realising it is not your fault. you have two boys, have you thought about the conversation you will have with them? i have already. ithoughtl would hide it at first to protect them. actually, i have realised it is best to be honest. i do not go into the details but they know quite a about it. they are really supportive. they said they will supportive. they said they will support you in campaigning and what iam doing. support you in campaigning and what i am doing. the big independents are quite into child sexual abuse has been dogged with problems about who is in charge and other things. do

you sense the authorities, there has been a shift in the way they approach to things now and will listen to people now? things have improved but still an offence or purpose, the system, because if it was people would not be abused and failed. the government say they are acting but we are not moving quick enough. the laws need to change, the whole system needs to change, i would like to see a team of experts, survivors, leading the way. i have no hope for the big enquiry because it is problem after problem. what will meanjustice it is problem after problem. what will mean justice for you? being jailed for 35 years, is that enough? it will never leave me. but it is

important to hear the word guilty. it is just important to hear the word guilty. it isjust one important to hear the word guilty. it is just one word but it makes such a difference. how did you feel when you heard that? really emotional but also really shut down because they had not realised what was happening just yet. it takes time for it to sink in. when i heard the 35 years in the sentencing, it hit me. thank you. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning... hurricane nate has hit the gulf coast after killing people in central america. john major says the

conservative party must change or allowjeremy corbyn into downing street. and breakfast has been finding out what the young royals are doing to make sure mental health stays at the top of the agenda. here's sarah with a look at this morning's weather. a fine start. this is the scene. for most of us, dry with sunny spells, some showers around. particularly in the north west. showers across northern parts of northern ireland into the west of scotland and into north—west england were stopped

breaking to the cloud across southern parts of northern ireland, sensual, eastern, southern scotland. writers goes here. to the west of the pennines, cloudy with the odd passing shower. fine and dry, one or two showers towards the isles of scilly. fog patches central and south—eastern parts of england. clearing away as the car breaks, allowing the sunshine to break through. —— car breaks. showery rain across the west of scotland into north—west england. cheshire, for instance. for northern ireland, most of the showers petering out. temperatures 13—17, a little cooler than yesterday but lighter winds and feel unpleasant. keeping the cloud into the evening, patchy outbreaks of rain in scotland and northern

england, down to this weather front. moving through tonight, early tomorrow, the cold front producing showers first thing. dry weather for central and eastern parts of the uk, showers in the west working eastwards. ahead of them, sunny spells, persistent rain in northern ireland in the afternoon. temperatures 14—18. a fairly u nsettled temperatures 14—18. a fairly unsettled outlook for tuesday and the rest of the week. quite breezy conditions developing. a week weather front makes its way south eastwards a cross weather front makes its way south eastwards across the country with further rain arriving in the north—west later in the day. north—west and south east is split. dry and less windy for the in the south and east, wet and windy before the north. euromillions, £160 million, won in

gran canaria. euromillions, £160 million, won in gran ca naria. buying euromillions, £160 million, won in gran canaria. buying all the green fields around our village, setting up fields around our village, setting upa fields around our village, setting up a trust to make sure they remain open to the community in west yorkshire. the trouble is, never more than two numbers. wouldn't it be better to have 168 millionaires 01’ be better to have 168 millionaires or 330 or 332 half millionaires. it isa or 330 or 332 half millionaires. it is a lot of money for one person. you would survive! a hungerfor

a hunger for independence, catalonia. the worst political crisis for decades. in spain. the pro minister has rejected mediation to resolve the situation. what is your assessment of the past seven days? a cold war, a bit, a cat and mouse game. the spanish government on one hand realises that with its reaction to the referendum, the heavy—handed approach, national publicity was given so it has stepped back a little. the catalan authorities, they do not want to precipitate the independence declaration. they think that will lose them international support as

well. they are putting out feelers to try and mediate. their goal is, really, some sort of acted referendum agreed with the states. that is the situation we are in. —— pa cted that is the situation we are in. —— pacted referendum. the spanish right, the centre—right, is traditionally putting emphasis on spanish unity. unlike the british conservative party, they would never refer to catalonia as a nation. spain is the nation and that is it. it is seen as breaking the unity of spain. that is not seen as acceptable. why now? the independence question is not new, so why is it happening in 2017? until

recently, the catalan nationalists in favour of home rule but not independence. this is actually only since 2010. there is a long—term elements that is catalonia is a richer part of spain. it was always a more economically developed, dependent on the spanish market. before spainjoined the eu, two breakaway would be very negative and before democracy because the army would have marched in any way. looking towards holland, quite similarto looking towards holland, quite similar to the looking towards holland, quite similarto the snp, looking towards holland, quite similar to the snp, the idea is, wouldn't we be better off in the eu asa wouldn't we be better off in the eu as a small, dynamic, independent country? that is the long—term thing. short—term, a lot of tension between the catalan authorities and the central government, most particularly the spanish government,

the opposition, who were in power at the opposition, who were in power at the time. they took a new statute to the time. they took a new statute to the constitutional court. several of its articles were annulled in 2010. that led to the rapid separatist sentiment. there are long and short—term issues. sentiment. there are long and short-term issues. thank you. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the newspapers. reverend sally hitchiner is here to tell us what's caught her eye. we'll speak to sally in a minute. first let's look at the front pages. the sunday times is leading on the possible cabinet reshuffle by theresa may, in herfirst interview since the party conference. she was played with a cough. ——

played it with a cough. the mail has an interview with former prime minister sirjohn major, who's backing may's leadership. the sunday telegraph leads with claims the tories are at war over brexit. and the observer also talks of the possible cabinet reshuffle. thank you for coming in, sally. let's ta ke thank you for coming in, sally. let's take a look at the stories you have picked. the royals launching a digital safety net. this is in the times, the sunday times. a continuation of the duke and duchess of cambridge and prince harry's headscarf back together, £2 million into a digital start—up company, a safety net to catch people not engaging with other mental health

services. coming out in the same time asa services. coming out in the same time as a yougov poll which says only 2% would talk to people at work or the only 2% would talk to people at work orthe hr only 2% would talk to people at work or the hr department about mental health issues. this is a huge stigma, it shows, because most of us will be affected at some point in our lives. it is brilliant at what the royals are doing, i think, to use their place in society to do so much good. i think it is really important that they are putting it into these online campaigns, not just off—line support. into these online campaigns, not just off-line support. 296 is so low. such a mac people think it will affect their career prospects. in universities, my sector, it has been ha rd to universities, my sector, it has been hard to find senior academics willing to front mental health support. the stigma is still so

strong. if it affects one in four of us... you can still thriving life, this can still be opportunities, but we need to make sure there is greater understanding, particularly in different generations. the younger people i work with are more aware than ever but i think we need to have it rolled out across the border. internet trolls are to be targeted by the first national police unit tackling online hate crime, reports the mail on sunday. £200,000 into it, but you wonder how far that will go? that is not actually that much in terms of the budgets across the country for policing. amber rudd the home secretary said they want to make a clear message that anything that is illegal off—line is also illegal online. harassmentjust as illegal

online. harassmentjust as illegal online. scotland yard are doing an online. scotland yard are doing an online abuse centre at the same time. but £200,000 is not enough because the amount of people, particularly women and those from men “— particularly women and those from men —— from minority groups, exposed to horrific stuff for just existing online is with the unacceptable in this day and age and we need to look at ways that society as a whole and particularly the police force can engage with that. this comes at a time around is institutional racism in particularfor black time around is institutional racism in particular for black and time around is institutional racism in particularfor black and minority ethnic students and professionals is in the spotlight. this highlights the disproportionate nature of black stu d e nts the disproportionate nature of black students getting a first. oxford,

only 73% getting a first or a 2—1. people from certain minority backgrounds not achieving as highly as we would hope. educational institutions like mine are supposed to be levelling the playing field so that people are able to have the contact, aspirations and support meaning there is equal access to achievementjudged on merit not background. we are finding we are not doing that at the moment. i was talking to a young, black oxford graduate who is generally concerned last night who says her career is progressing at the moment but in ten yea rs progressing at the moment but in ten years she worries that she might not be able to progress as much as she might do. it is notjust a racism issue, as a whole society we are at a loss of people do not reach their

potential. euromillions. you can change your —— snapcats, dogs, hamster. you can change your face. you can now do it for your pets. this is charming and concerning. you can make your pet look like one of these cartoon characters and give them googly eyes, big nose, cute features. if your pet could get any more acute on the internet, now... look at the eyes on that cat and the squishy face. hours of fun. i had

lots of different things, not myself, but other people adding filters of me. thank you for coming in. asummary filters of me. thank you for coming in. a summary coming up injust a moment. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and tina daheley. coming up before 9, sarah has the weather. but first at 8:29, a summary of this morning's main news: hurricane nate has hit the united states, causing torrential rain and powerful winds. people in parts of mississippi, alabama, florida and louisana 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 ca refully" on what's 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 in london yesterday. 11 people were injured outside the natual history museum when a car mounted the curb. a man in his 40s is in custody. police say the incident is not terror related and they're 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. in an interview with the spanish newspaper el pais, mr rajoy also rejected any mediation to resolve the crisis. our correspondent is in barcelona for us and st louis. my for us and st louis. my sense is that the latest words of the spanish prime minister are as compromising and persistent as he has been for the last few weeks. he

says ultimately if in the next few days the catalan government declares unilateral independence, will use any legal means and they were the spanish government to make sure it doesn't happen. they could use the constitution act 155. he said spain will be spain and will continue to be for a long time and he urges and wa nts to be for a long time and he urges and wants to see a moderate, a government here in catalonia that is sensible as well. i think ultimately what we are seeing now and perhaps what we are seeing now and perhaps what the hope is from the spanish government is the catalonian government is the catalonian government are starting to think, wanting time and space to work out is this the right move. there are reports that within the cabinet in barcelona there is a hesitation, wanting some room to negotiate with the spanish government, perhaps hoping for a legal means to a referendum. but given that there is nothing coming back, what we're told so far is on tuesday the president announced his next step to parliament and according to a government source, that means 48 hours after that, if there are no negotiations, that is when it is set

for announcement of independence. that means thursday. today, across barcelona huge prounion supporters are expected to take to the streets. the call of the spanish government saying the silent majority are coming out. that means pro—independence supporters, they are being urged to stay indoors, not to add the numbers. clearly lots of division between the lines here, big protest today. four tonnes of cocaine has been seized after the ship was intercepted in the mid—atlantic. the spanish authorities acted on intelligence provided by the national crime agency in the uk to swoop on the boat between madeira and the zeros. the nca says if sold the cocaine would have fetched more than £200 million. seven men have been arrested. 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. 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 haynesjunior, 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. 8:33am. you are up to date with all the news. let's catch up with the sport. formula 1. we are going to talk formula 1. is that lewis hamilton channelling his inner mo farah? yes, because mo farah with a guest in japan to farah? yes, because mo farah with a guest injapan to watch the grand prix, milling around in the pit lane and garage, getting to see behind the scenes. two contenders perhaps the scenes. two contenders perhaps the sports personality of the year. we need to have a think about who you might want to win a trophy. obviously mo farah, the world athletics championships this summer, wonderful stuff and lewis hamilton closing in on his fourth world

title. brilliant for british sport stars. it's been the perfect day for lewis hamilton at the japanese grand prix at suzuka. he started from pole and went on to win for the 8th time this season. he now leads the championship by 59 points with just four races to go. the briton will be confident of claiming his fourth world title, thanks mainly to misfortune for his rival sebastian vettel. the german's ferrari broke down and had to retire on just the fifth lap. 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, they 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 leeds from castleford. but in recent years, on the field, these clubs have been much further apart.

still, the tigers have been the team of the year. that was, until the moment it really mattered. their first grand final, leeds's tenth, experienced a toll right at the start. tom briscoe's try and the first half. castleford's fairytale ending, as another is beginning. danny mcguire now leaves 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. 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. i didn't even think about it. it didn't even come into my head that 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 always do, focus on myjob. and myjob was to go there today and perform as good as i possibly can. i mean, that's what sport is all about. max whitlock, maybe another contenderfor max whitlock, maybe another contender for sports personality, max whitlock, maybe another contenderfor sports personality, we will have to find out later on! 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 madesjki stadium where leicester just inched their way past london irish to win by a single point — 28—27 the final score, with jonny 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. they've 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 5pm today. after victory against slovakia on thursday, the scots know another win will secure their play off place. as soon as i walked off the pitch, as soon as i walked

in the dressing room, i could sense it already. there was no singing and dancing, anything like that. we realised they're 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 ourfriends, wishing us good luck, and e—mails, and people we've 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're 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've been good in the doubleheaders to date. and again, you know, as i say, we come into this game knowing that there's 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, obviously, they have to try and make sure they win the game as well. there's 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 goalkeeper joe hart with jack butland — a chance for butland to challenge for a more regular spot in goal: we're all after the same shirt, but we're all keen to push each other, and make sure that we're all performing to a high standard, because ultimately that means success for us as a nation. so there is brilliant rivalry there, 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 in a really good performance for us, which is what we want. and i'm sure it would go the opposite way if it was someone else in the goal. tirrell 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 climbed up to number one in the world for the first time after reaching the china open final. the romanian defeated latvia'sjelena ostapenko 6—2, 6—4 in their semi—final. her ousting of spaniard garbine

muguruza as number one 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's 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 he delighted his home fans by edging the tight contest with the unanimous decision on thejudges the tight contest with the unanimous decision on the judges scorecards. and finally some dramatic pictures from the tour of lombardy in italy. 40km from the finish, the belgian laurens de plus somehow managed to escape serious injury after this frightening crash. totally fine and up he gets after a

bit of a role in the meadow. he's lucky there was a meadow to roll in! laughter that has still got to be pretty brutal, to go over that barrier like that. i don't know, at least he didn't hit the tarmac for anything! over the barrier onto some grass was along that road? just because he goes flying over after misjudging the corner. but he's fine! eye dropper land on the grass. thank you very much indeed. it is 8:42am almost. when leif bersweden was rejected by oxford university, he decided to embark on a gap year adventure with a difference. and a happy ending, it has to be said. leif wanted to be the first person to see all of the uk's 52 wild orchids in one season, and it's something he managed to achieve — travelling from the highest point of the hebrides, down to the channel islands. hejoins us now.

very good to see you, good morning. what first attracted you to orchids? i'd been interested in plants my entire life, basically. at the age of seven years old i found a bee orchid. this flower looks like a bee and has evolved... we can see it now, what we're talking about. and has evolved... we can see it now, what we're talking aboutm has evolved to get male bees to pollinate it. this idea you could have a plant that captured insects ca ptu red have a plant that captured insects captured my imagination. it took off from there. the bee orchid, we are seeing lots of different pictures. which one is it? that one there? absolutely. so you did this. it was after, in a sense, the disappointment of not getting a place at oxford. gas. what happens

after that? i opened my rejection letter and decided i wanted to reapply the following year. so i decided to do this gap year. but yes, i worked throughout the winter to try and raise funds for this project. then in april, may, i set off to travel around the country, to find all these orchids. 10,000 miles in summer. and they welcomed you with open arms? yes, they liked it because they thought it was a weird thing to have done, a good way to show my duty as. liking orchids is one thing, but going on a mission to find all 52 of them is something else. how do you do that, plan for that? it is very difficult because it is so dependent on the weather and various other things. i constructed a sort schedule based on when these things normally flower. but, of course, as soon as i started, the whole thing completely sort of fell apart. we had a really

long winter, everything was delayed, i had to reallyjuggle my route around the country to fit them all in. which is why you did so many miles! how did yourfriends miles! how did your friends and family react when he said, i'm not going off to south america travelling for a year, i'm going to find 52 orchids? at the time i think they probably thought i was the biggest weirdo. maybe they were right... no! i think weirdo. maybe they were right... no! ithink in weirdo. maybe they were right... no! i think in a position like this, it's always going to be considered sort of strange and weird at school, but i think it's definitely the kind of thing that may mellows overtime. perhaps become slightly cooler with age, although having said that, a lot of my friends still think i'm pretty weird. you are sat here talking to us about it, it's very interesting. there are 52, are they all native to the uk or have some of them coming over the years from other parts? all native to the uk. we are getting a few species now, with climate change, that are moving across the

centred on heads together, the campaign they founded, and which aims to improve the mental health of the nation. in april, thousands took up the challenge to run the 28 miles and in doing so helped to raise awareness of issues facing millions of people. this has been an unapologetically personal mission, with the princes opening up more than they ever have previously. we hope to make an impact at a younger age. i think we are making good progress. so, has it worked? in a high—tech suite in imperial college london, prince william was shown data showing their campaign has encouraged more people, especially men, to talk about mental health issues. and evidence from the partner charities which make up heads together suggest a significant impact. the mental health charity, mind, had its busiest ever day after the marathon with 58% more calls. the same happened with places2be, which focusses on the mental health of children, saw a 148% in downloads to schools. and a 15% increase in calls to young minds' parents helpline. phase one of the campaign

was about starting the conversation on mental health. now it is moving on to phase two, practical solutions to keep the conversation going. starting with a £2 million grant from the royal foundation to make digital ways for people to open up. it allows us to open up the timescale. we know we have people struggling late at night with mental health, but it is difficult for some services to stay open. the digital world could help in that space so there is always someone to talk to. as well as digital projects, heads together will focus on mental health in schools, workplaces, and the military, with this issue remaining at the top of the agenda of the royals. sarah campbell, bbc news. princes william and harry and the

work they are doing for mental health. now, maybe you'd buy a big house or maybe luxury holidays and sports cars would be more your thing. maybe all of the above! if you won £168 million, you'd be able to have the lot. that's how much was won on friday night by a lucky ticket holder in gran canaria, spain, while four uk players won £900,000. we'll be finding out what it's like to strike it lucky injust a minute, but first we've been asking how you'd spend the money if you hit the jackpot. a nice house, a nice holiday. a bit of time off work. being able to visit friends and stuff like that. i'd go abroad. we'd give a lot away... but 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. no money would change what i do, i would carry on grafting. i would carry on working because i like myjob and i would spend it all on my family. some of the thoughts of people, what they would do if they won the lottery. let's get more on this now from the psychologist professor cary cooper and lottery winner mary ellis. so we can find out what it's really like to win lots of dosh. you won £500,000 a couple of years ago? yes. did it change a life? yes, it did. explain how? a new bungalow, a new car... you know, lots of things...

new shoes, clothes! laughter how many pairs of new shoes? quite a few. good for you! did you find it difficult to come to terms with it and was a help and support you when you won the money? yes, it was difficult, because you just can't imagine how your life's going to change. and it does change. it doesn't matter how much it is. i couldn't sleep, you know... i had good family around me and good friends and they're still around me. laughter you said you couldn't sleep. they say money doesn't buy happiness, but i bet it helps, doesn't it? it does help, yes, but you still worry about things. it doesn't matter how much money you've got, you still worry about what you're going to do with it. it just depends

about what you're going to do with it. itjust depends on the individual, really. stay there and we will talk to you again in a minute, mary. professor, mary won almost £500,000, this person in spain has won £168 million. different league. lairy is right. what happens now is the lottery providers actually have financial advisers for people who win. it has changed over the years, because at the beginning people were having enormous trouble, blowing their money, people were after them. as soon as they outed and said i won this money, by the way, that's an important thing for quite a lot of people. if i was advising as a psychologist i would say, don't reveal your name, stay stable, stain your job, reveal your name, stay stable, stain yourjob, reflect it, put it in the bank, don't worry about it. but a lot depends on the social support you have and your family. mary says good friends and family around. you have and your family. mary says good friends and family aroundm you have a stable set of family

relationships, great. if you are in a dysfunctional family with a lot of conflict who feel they are entitled to some of your money and then fight between themselves for it, that can between themselves for it, that can be problematic. and just the exposure , because be problematic. and just the exposure, because people will write to you and say, hey, listen, i have this great business idea. there's a lot of potential downsides of it. the upside, think about it, you have financial security, can invest in your family, give them financial security, can invest in yourfamily, give them help, help kids with houses and grandkids with houses... charity, you can create a foundation. you can give money away. if it's £400,000, you're not going to do that but 168 million, you can buy three football players... maybe not even on! but you get the message. i think there are upsides and downsides. i think the lottery providers now, understand the downsides and do support the people, because they do need support. mary, 400,000, £500,000 is a lot of money,

although there are lots of people in this country who have plenty of money. did you find that going public with it was ok because people understand it's not that much money, it is, but you know what i mean? yes, idid it is, but you know what i mean? yes, i did go public and i've had no problems at all. i think all the people i've spoken to have said well done, you know, i'm so pleased for you. it's been lovely. it's interesting, different people's psychology. i was telling you, i got five numbers, my wife and i want on the lottery, the difference in the psychology, this was the days when you had to check it on ceefax. five numbers won just over £1000 but glass half full, my wife was absolutely ecstatic, glass half empty being me i thought, one more and we would have had millions. you have to have the right mental approach, haven't you ? have to have the right mental approach, haven't you? the right way to look at it? that's right. first

of all i thought i'd just won £1000. so it was a good surprise. my friends are, you're telling fibs, you won more than that! laughter fantastic. i hope there's still lots left and you continue to enjoy it. thank you very much for speaking to us. professor cary cooper as well, thank you to you. that's it from us today. dan and louise will be back tomorrow at 6am. until then, have a lovely weekend. thanks for watching and good luck if you buy a lottery ticket. one example, our case study that you we re one example, our case study that you were inspired by. this would tell her not only how long she spoke, but things like the characteristics this is bbc news. the headlines at nine. hurricane nate makes landfall in the united states, bringing torrential rain and strong winds to the gulf coast — but forecasters say it is going to weaken. after her difficult party conference, theresa may
