6:02 am
and treat infection. a bedrock of modern medicine. but now there's a new warning that the drugs we often turn to to protect us could become less effective due to drug—resista nt infections. it's estimated 700,000 people around the world die every year from drug—resista nt infections such as tuberculosis, hiv, and malaria. without antibiotics, it's feared medical procedures such as cesarean sections, cancer treatments, and hip replacements would become too risky. the uk government and we welcome trust, a charity that supports scientists and researchers, have now organised a meeting for health experts around the world. it is as a new project is announced to look at the spread of disease caused by superbugs. if no action is taken it
6:03 am
is estimated that drug—resistant infections will kill the —— 10 million people every year by 2050. and we'll be speaking to the chief medical officer for england at 6:1i0am this morning. police in both london and new york are investigating claims of sexual assault made against the hollywood producer harvey weinstein. in his first public comments since the allegations were published, mr weinstein said everyone made mistakes and he asked for a second chance. sarah corker reports. the movie mogul harvey weinstein is facing a growing litany of accusations from some of film's biggest stars. more than 20 women including angelina jolie, gwyneth paltow, cara delevingne and heather graham have spoken out. the latest is the british actress kate beckinsale, just 17 when she claims harvey weinstein first harassed her. 0n bbc‘s hardtalk, jane fonda talked
6:04 am
about the film industry's reluctance to speak out. i found out about him about a year ago and i wish that i had spoken out. well, why didn't you? well, it didn't happen to me. i understand, but nonetheless... i didn't want to expose and i will admit i should have been braver. mr weinstein is now being investigated by the nypd and the metropolitan police in london. the 65—year—old denies three accusations of rape and any nonconsensual sexual relations. emma thompson claimed there were many others like harvey weinstein in hollywood. i didn't know about these things, but they don't surprise me at all and they are endemic to the system anyway. what i find this sort of extraordinary is that this man is at the top of a very particular iceberg. i don't think you could describe him as a sex addict, he is
6:05 am
a predator. mr weinstein is now thought to be on his way to a rehab clinic in arizona as this scandal continues to deepen. sarah corker, bbc news. you heard emma thompson talking there. we will hear more from that interview just after eight a. m.. thousands of firefighters have been called out to deal with fires in an area more than 20,000 acres. winds have dropped, but they are expected to be public game of the weekend. the state's governorjerry browne said the coming days would be critical. a correspondent with cbs sent this report. they do have some containment. there are 22 fires in this area of northern california and the biggest fires are contained, meaning they've stopped the progress. but that's only i% of the fires. 99% they haven't stopped. but that's a step
6:06 am
in the right direction. they were feeling they weren't making any progress at all and this is the fourth day. the reason is all of the vicious winds, especially monday, wednesday and a little bit today. today hasn't been nearly as bad as they expected, just a light breeze. 3500, 3500 homes, and buildings were burnt down and we are getting a different perspective here. the fire trucks are here and some homeowners, going through the sad task of going through and seeing if they can salvage anything out of their house that burnt down. but as far as you can see, i’ow that burnt down. but as far as you can see, row after row, street after street, every house burnt down. more than a thousand, say authorities here in the area. diplomats from the eu's 27 remaining member states will meet in brussels later to discuss their approach to brexit talks. they are drawing up a draft document ahead of a summit of eu leaders to be held next week. 0ur political correspondent
6:07 am
eleanor garnier is in westminster this morning. plot this one true for us. yesterday we had those negotiations, this state has ended. but today diplomats meet to talk about what was talked about them ? meet to talk about what was talked about them? well, we saw some movement yesterday, but not as much as the uk government was hoping for. that was the fifth round of wreck the talks ended in —— ending in brussels yesterday and there was visible frustration on both sides. attention now turns to next week's eu summit of leaders. they will have to make the big decision over whether enough progress, sufficient progress, has been made to be able to move on from talking about the divorce side of the talks to talking about the future relationship. the bbc has seen a draft copy of conclusions of that meeting. it suggests that the eu 27 countries
6:08 am
could start talking about the future relationship amongst themselves, but not yet talk about it with the british government. it also makes clear that sufficient progress has not been made. these conclusions are just a draft at this stage, so the wording could change. i should also add it's not that much of a surprise because it's been pretty much known for months now that there has been zero chance of moving onto the next stage of talks in october. michel barnier, the chief negotiator, did say he was hoping for decisive progress by december and i think of the uk government can't change enough minds by next week that certainly what the government will hoping for. thanks for the moment. an nhs mental health trust has become the first in england to be put in special measures for a second time amid concerns over patient safety. inspectors said services at the trust covering norfolk and suffolk were unsafe due to staff shortages and that it had failed to learn from patient deaths.
6:09 am
the nhs foundation trust said it was "disappointed" by the report. pakistani soldiers have freed a north american family of five who were being held hostage by the afghan taliban. canadianjoshua boyle and his us wife caitlan coleman were kidnapped while backpacking in afghanistan in 2012. they had three children while in captivity and were rescued during an operation near the afghan border, the pakistani army said. a british—built satellite will go into orbit this morning to monitor air quality around the world. it will make daily maps of polluting gases and particles known to be harmful to health. called sentinel 5p, the spacecraft is part of the copernicus project run by the european union. uk ministers say it's an example of the type of research collaboration they want to see continue after brexit.
6:10 am
those are the main stories this morning. now to the sport. the consensus about gordon strachan seems to be he is a manager leaving that team in a better place. but they haven't qualified for a major tournament in a long time and they won't be in russia, so he has paid the price. he says he's shared some magical moments with his scotland players, that will live with him forever, but it's time to go for gordon strachan. but it is time to go for gordon strachan. he's paid the price for not reaching the world cup in russia, and has left his job by mutual consent. an inch away from the greatest of comebacks after they'd scored four, the post was all that stood in the end between glasgow's women and the last 16 of the champions league, but they go out. elsewhere, manchester city are through. at the start of a new season of european club rugby, gloucester were overpowered, but got a losing bonus point
6:11 am
in the challenge cup as they were beaten 27—21. and it's just about season overforjohanna konta, after a foot injury means she will not be abole to play in russia next week and that will snuff out her hopes of qualifying for this month's wta finals. in the papers in a moment and an all that looks like cristiano ronaldo. sorry? and animal that looks like cristiano ronaldo. you know you then have to get animal pictures that look like all of us. that's not necessary! not hard for me... sarah keith—lucas is in hyde park for us this morning with the latest forecast. good morning. fairly tranquil conditions here. calm waters across the serpentine in hyde park. it is a mild and cloudy start, but i can promise you autumnal colours once the sun gets up later. this is how it is looking here. what about the rest of the country? today we have
6:12 am
rain on the cards across northern and western parts of the country in particular. further south and east you are more likely to stay dry, with some sunshine on the forecast as well. the rain across scotland at 9am is quite heavy in the west. less rain reaching eastern scotland, it will be windy. heavy rain for the north—west of england, especially cumbria. there has been a lot of wet weather recently. dry to the east. heading our way south across east anglia and the south—east, clear spells around here, so a bit of a fresh start. but sunshine developing. moving westwards across england, thick cloud and a few patches of drizzle for the likes of dorset and towards cornwall. it is quite easy through the day there. across wales this morning it is cloudy with a frontal system bringing outbreaks of rain. some of that rain heavy across snowdonia and anglesey and northern ireland having a cloudy and damp start to the day. quite windy here. through the day the rain in the north and west edges
6:13 am
its way slowly little bit further southwards. so some clearer skies reappearing in northern parts of northern ireland and scotland later. to the south of the front we also have some warmer and drier weather. we could have 19— 20 degrees towards the south—east. cooler further north where we have the rain across northern england, into wales too. temperatures on the mild side for the time of year and they will rise further on the weekend. tonight we keep rain in parts of northern england and wales. to the south of that really mild to start saturday morning. still in the mid teens. fresher further north where we've got clear skies. through the day tomorrow the winds will be easing away compared to the date and many of us will have dry and reasonably warm weather. the rain eases further north. improving for in northern england. —— wales and northern england. —— wales and northern england. further south the temperatures are likely to reach 20
6:14 am
oi’ temperatures are likely to reach 20 or even 21— 22 in some spots. a pleasa nt or even 21— 22 in some spots. a pleasant day where you have the sunshine and for most of us less windy as well. the second half of the weekend is also looking decent. still wind and rain in the far north—west at times. but for the rest of the country a really decent looking day. temperatures on the rise. likely to have 20 or even perhaps a few degrees higher than that. it is pretty unusual for it to be this warm in october? not that i'm complaining! no, we do sometimes get these drifts of warm air. what we've got at the moment is an audi——is what we've got at the moment is an audi —— is an ex—hurricane. that's bringing some tropical weather. but it could be windy heading into monday so watch out for that. i can't wait till it gets light where you are. i think it's going to be absolutely stunning. it is gorgeous. 0nce
6:15 am
be absolutely stunning. it is gorgeous. once the sunrise comes up it is gorgeous. once the sunrise comes up you will see the beautiful autumnal colours. let's have a look at some of the front pages today. the image on the front page of the times, the family rescued with three children after five years being held hostage in afghanistan on. the three children were all born in captivity. an extraordinary story, the front page of the times. we will run an interview with emma thompson talking in part about harvey weinstein. he has been accused of sexually assaulting many pet women in hollywood. from pages picking up an affront story about him and kate beckinsale. she says that he inappropriately behaved with her when she met him. it is also on the
6:16 am
front page of the daily mail as well. the main story, however, is that business chiefs say that philip hammond has been too negative and the former chancellor has called for him to be sacked. weinstein story is on the front page of the telegraph. we will be running parts of an interview that we have done with jane fonda as well. the image there is kate beckinsale again. what do you call? another milestone in women's sport because tomorrow you woman will take charge as a referee ofa woman will take charge as a referee of a international rugby competition. she will smash through rugby‘s glass ceiling. we have already had other female referees rugby‘s glass ceiling. we have already had otherfemale referees in the bundesliga. in the uk we have
6:17 am
had a an assistant referee in the premier league later this month we will have another woman reading and other international rugby games in in norway, will all, they are paid the same no matter if you are a man oi’ the same no matter if you are a man ora the same no matter if you are a man or a woman. and the same no matter if you are a man ora woman. and i the same no matter if you are a man or a woman. and i promised you this. isa or a woman. and i promised you this. is a rookie is apparently flexing his muscles after popping out of a leg room in australia with a rinaldo type pose with rippling muscles. that is quite a strange looking kangaroo. that picture has gone a little bit viral in the sense that it is being claimed to be the most must call kangaroo. the kangaroo is wet, isn't it? he is in a lagoon. my point being, my point being when animals get wet, like cats, they
6:18 am
look very different. i think cats look very different. i think cats look scary when they are wet. they seem scared as well. so do we like oui’ seem scared as well. so do we like our kangaroos to be wet or dry?‘ dry. dry. we will be back a little bit later on. the time now is 18 minutes past six. one in ten girls can't afford to buy sanitary items. that's according to figures given to bbc breakfast from a survey carried out by girls‘ charity — plan international uk. earlier this year, leeds was the focus of what's called ‘period poverty‘ — after young girls there spoke about not being able to afford pads and tampons. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin has been to leeds to see if the situation has improved. periods don‘t really make friend easy conversation. but these girls think it is one we need to have.
6:19 am
statistics out today said that many girls can not afford to cope when their period arrives each month. girls can not afford to cope when their period arrives each monthm this something you relate to? definitely. you have to pay for food, phone bill, bus fare and then oi'i food, phone bill, bus fare and then on top of that you pay maybe ten or £15 a month on top of that for feminine products as well. at their times of the month when you will ask friends for help? 0h, times of the month when you will ask friends for help? oh, you might. my parents help me with costs. the thing is the about buying cheap ones, why should i have to? they are just as good as the expensive ones some would say. the cheap stuff feels cheap occasional usually. we are told that affordability is an issue. information out today reveals that 10% of those questioned have been unable to afford sanitary wares. 15% struggle to afford product while 14% have had to borrow from a friend. in march here in
6:20 am
leads a bbc interview helped to turn theseissues leads a bbc interview helped to turn these issues into a national conversation. i wrap this up around my underwear. i did not get any money because my mother was a single pa rent money because my mother was a single parent and she had five children to feed. since then, scotland has championed the cause, offering free pads and tampons in schools. this groundbreaking commitment will be delivered from the start of the new academic year in august. wales say they watch the schemes with interest as many councils they are considering doing the same. in england yesterday... schools already have discretion over how they can use theirfunding have discretion over how they can use their funding if they want to make sanitary products available to disadvantaged students, then they are free to do so. the government said this is a decision for schools to make. ajust goes... back in the city college, the charity freedom
6:21 am
for girls outlined affordable options. there are reusable items, diy items... you folded and once it is inserted it pops open. i would not feel comfortable... but, again, it is convenience... what was once at tabou conversation is now out in the open. it is unbelievable, the number of people who have come to me and said it is happening in their town. other people within the national conversation who say this is daft, that these can be quite cheap. this is about prioritising something and it is for families and girls to make that priority, not the state. people don't understand that they always have money in their pocket and people don‘t, some people don‘t, unfortunately. pocket and people don‘t, some people don't, unfortunately. unaffordable, perhaps to some girls. avoidable, u nfortu nately perhaps to some girls. avoidable, unfortunately not. jayne mccubbin joins us now. as you said, this sheds a lot of
6:22 am
light on the subject. can you take us light on the subject. can you take us through some of the issues around the cost. this is an education to you, isn‘t it, charlie? a survey recently said around £5,000 it would cost a woman over the course of her lifetime to pay for the time of the month. that is probably on the high side of things. you can purchase a packet of towels for between 70p and wa nt packet of towels for between 70p and want pound. branded tampax for £2. i had an interesting chat with those girls about whether the expensive stuff was a successful marketing story. the girls firmly believe that the cheap were not as good. that there is a difference and for them as well there is,... why should they have to use something that feels awful and is awfuljust because it is cheap. this is something we
6:23 am
should be able to afford. it is not merely about affordability. you saw there the menstrual cup, perhaps the first time it has been demonstrated on television. you saw the cup there and that costs less than £20 and it lasts ten years. this is notjust about affordability. it is also about affordability. it is also about education. which is why, interestingly, sheffield this month has announced it wishes to become the uk‘s first period positive city. again, who knew that we would be talking about these things. that means that they will have a charter for schools so that they allow teachers to be trained up with all of the right information and skills to have these open and frank conversations with young women and young girls about the options are about that, so there is no shame if about that, so there is no shame if a girl is struggling, so they can go to their teacher and say i am stuck andi to their teacher and say i am stuck and i need help. also so that they will be making diy sanitary towels in some classes. an interesting
6:24 am
conversation for a small group of people, this is a big issue. apparently, we have started purchasing wallpaper again. i thought it was quite trendy to have one wall wallpapered. well... i think, traditionally over a period of time wallpaper sales have been low that they are increasing again. ben is at the uk‘s biggest wallpaper manufacturer for us this morning. welcome to blackburn, one of the biggest wallpaper manufacturers in these country. were getting a sense of the process, a big resurgence in sales of wallpaper after many decades of decline. you can see these roles here flying above my head and back down on to decide. this is a new york cityscape but we will get a sense of why the market is back. come with me and we can
6:25 am
look at the process. they make 10 million rolls of this stuff here every single year. that is about 43,000 rolls every single day. it is a big industry for them and they sell to 75 countries around the world. this is how it ends up. we will find out what it means for the staff here, a big boom in sales. but also why and how they make it. we will find that out later that first it is time for news, travel and weather you are watching breakfast this morning. good morning from bbc london news. there‘s been a steady rise in the number of modern day slavery offences across the capital over the last five years. a freedom of information request by bbc london has also revealed that only 6% of all slavery offences in london last year resulted in prosecution. victims have been found working in car washes, nail bars and on construction sites, with many not even realising they are being exploited. we do need to see more people put
6:26 am
where they deserve to be put, which is imprisoned. 0ur legislation makes life in prison and the maximum and we do see sentences going up. today is the last day or uber to appeal against the decision to strip it of its private hire license in the capital. last month tfl said the tech giant wasn‘t ‘fit and proper‘ to operate in london, and refused to renew its license because of "public safety and security implications". since then, the company‘s top boss has met with tfl, and hundreds of thousands of people have signed a petition against the decision. a third athird man a third man arrested on suspicion of pushing a woman into the path of the bar has been released without charge. the 49—year—old man is the third suspect to be released now without charge. a look now the travel situation in the travel ball shows us that the tube is operating

measure and in the end gave the tangled ex raquet to a fan as a souvenir. how much has he been fined for that? nick kyrgios has been fined. yes, he has had many incidences. we don‘t know yet. more now on our top story this morning. a stark warning that a growing resistance bacteria to antibiotics could spell the end of modern medicine. quite a modern medicine. quitea claim. modern medicine. quite a claim. professor dame sally davies says that routine medical procedures such as cesarean sections would become incredibly risky without antibiotic drugs that are used to fight infections. she joins us how used to fight infections. she joins us now from berlin. and he very much for joining us now from berlin. and he very much forjoining us. you are at a conference at the moment which is aiming to tackle this problem. what the problem are we facing and how soon will it affect us? so the problem is that bacteria are reacting and becoming resistant...
6:40 am
inaudible... reacting and becoming resistant... inaudible. .. can reacting and becoming resistant... inaudible... can you hear reacting and becoming resistant... inaudible. .. can you hear us? reacting and becoming resistant... inaudible... can you hear us? yes, i can. so the problem is that bacteria become resistant to antibiotics, did you leave if they‘re overused, and yet they underpin modern medicine. so already a cross europe about 5000 people die every year of drug—resistant people die every year of drug—resista nt infections and people die every year of drug—resistant infections and i am really worried, as our experts, that if we don‘t do things to control this, improve infection prevention, get new drugs, better diagnostics, we will risk losing antibiotics and they underpin modern medicine. not just when we have infections, but actually cancer treatments, transplantation, people with diabetes get more infections than others. it really is a warrior if we lose effective antibiotics. we need
6:41 am
to stimulate better diagnostics, we need new antibiotics, we need better vaccines, we need a whole range of things to happen. the world is saying, yes, we ought to do something, but not enough action. so this conference, working with different governments and the wellcome trust, is about how do we get some tangible change on the ground and make a difference, so people will not die in the future? what do patients and gps need to change when it comes to their behavioural habits? what we want is patients to recognise that if they have flu or common colds, viruses, and tug —— antibiotics are no use. please, if the doctor says, it‘s a virus, you don‘t need an antibiotic, visited them and don‘t push them for
6:42 am
something that‘s not going to make a difference to you, but could make it much more risky as medicine goes forward for your children and your grandchildren. there are concerns at the moment that flu, for example, will be on the increase this winter. there are concerns that australia has seen issues and it will have an impact here, the idea that often when australia has a bad flu epidemic it travels over. how concerned are you about that in terms of talking about getting antibiotics? what should people be doing? the important thing for flu is to go and get the flu jab, if you need it, particularly effective in children. we are offering up the those from two to eight —year—olds, and also people with risk factors, respiratory conditions, including asthma, but also heart disease, neurological deficit. and the elderly. those over 65. i‘m
6:43 am
particularly appealing to healthcare personnel. doctors and nurses. go and get vaccinated, notjust to protect themselves but they have a duty of care to their patients and to protect their families. duty of care to their patients and to protect theirfamilies. so please, public, if you are due a vaccine, go and get it. i‘ve had mine. it is our best chance. i'm a bit confused because i was reading a story on the front page of the daily telegraph today. a sickly the headline is that there are fears about this flu jab in the fact that it may not stave off a crisis because last year‘s had zero effectiveness among the over 65 is, although they were responsible for affecting two out of three children. what‘s the story in terms of how effective it is? every year the vaccine has a variable effectiveness from very good to not so good. last year it was wonderful in children
6:44 am
and it should be again this year for children, because it‘s made differently, and it didn‘t work very well in the elderly. but it still remains our best chance. so i do call on the public to go and get vaccinated. it might well be a very effective year. we don‘t know. we can‘t predict how bad the flu will be this year and how effective the vaccine will be. but better to take it just vaccine will be. but better to take itjust in vaccine will be. but better to take it just in case? vaccine will be. but better to take itjust in case? please, yes. it is a stitch in time. ok. thank you very much for your time. the good singer val weather presenters out on location is looking at the beautiful views but at this time of the morning it is a little darker. —— the good thing about weather presenters. it is a

back, apparently. why? what we have done here for the last ten or 15 yea rs done here for the last ten or 15 years is drive the resurgence in wallpaper. wallpaper is back but what is back, really, is designed. people in britain are feeling far more comfortable putting design on their walls. so instead of paint, a mulch and, magnolia paint on the walls, people are being a bit older. what is aiming for you as a company. you probably do things a little differently, you need to get people interested again? exactly. what we have done over the last decade is create some beautiful design, some impactful designed. people started using the first of all on feature walls. what we have been doing lately is creating beautiful texture that allows people to create wallpaper on more than just one wall and people are becoming far more confident with design in britain again. a play about 600 people here area

6:56 am
more interesting to see if it does pack up —— pick up amongst his other footballing stars. time now for the news, travel and weather wherever you are. good morning from bbc london news. i‘m alex bushell. there‘s been a steady rise in the number of modern day slavery offences across the capital over the last five years. a freedom of information request by bbc london has also revealed that only 6% of all slavery offences in london last year resulted in prosecution. victims have been found working in car washes, nail bars and on construction sites, with many not even realising they are being exploited. we do need to see more people put where they deserve to be put, which is in prison. 0ur legislation makes life in prison the maximum and we do see sentences going up. today is the last day or uber to appeal against the decision to strip it of its private hire license in the capital. last month tfl said the tech giant wasn‘t ‘fit and proper‘ to operate in london, and refused to renew its license because of "public safety
6:57 am
and security implications". since then, the company‘s top boss has met with tfl, and hundreds of thousands of people have signed a petition against the decision. a man arrested on suspicion of pushing a woman into the path of a bus whilejogging has been released without charge. cctv footage showed a man pushing the woman on putney bridge in may. the 49—year—old man is the third suspect to be released without charge. a look now at the travel situation and the travel board shows us that the tube is operating a good service on all lines. elsewhere on the lines, heathrow connect has no service currently and no trains are expected until the end of the day. the until the end of the day. heathrow express also ha service the heathrow express also has no service between tunnels one, two, three and internal falls so only 55 being serviced. queues building at henley ‘s corner. ba 310 london rd is closed near twickenham station. and bedford road is closed
6:58 am
between the roundabout and the close. that is also due to a burst water main. quick check now on the weather. lots of sunshine around yesterday and there will be more over the course of the weekend. not quite as much today. in fact, there will be plenty of low cloud around throughout the day and some brightness through the afternoon. it will feel warm for this time of year and a brisk south—westerly wind. it is a mild start to the morning, plenty of low cloud around through the morning, drizzle falling from the cloud. otherwise a dry day and possibly some brightness forming a little later on through the afternoon. in the best of the brightness we will see highs of 19 or 20 degrees but it will be windy at times. 0vernight tonight the wind will die down. a mild night indeed for this time of year, the start of the weekend, 14 or 15 celsius. normally in the middle of october we would expect sevens and eights. we still have more coming up from the south over the course of the weekend. and looks like it quite cloudy on saturday. if we get any
6:59 am
brightness and sunshine through the afternoon the temperature could reach 21 degrees. the temperature is likely to be higher on sunday when we see more on the way of sunshine. 22, 20 three celsius with temperatures peaking on monday when it looks rather windy. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. the movie producer harvey weinstein is reportedly checking into a rehab clinic, as emma thompson and jane fonda speak out about the allegations of sexual abuse. this man is at the top of a very particular iceberg. i don‘t think you could describe him as a sex addict, he is a predator. good morning, it‘s friday 13th october.
7:00 am
also this morning: a warning that the world is facing a post—antibiotic apocalypse. more than 8000 firefighters are battling the huge californian wildfires as the death toll rises to more than 30. sales of wallpaper are on a roll after decline. sales are up 10% this year. i met the uk‘s largest manufacturing to find out why. —— i‘m at. in sport, who‘s next for the hot seat in scotland? the early favourites to replace the departing gordon strachan as manager include david moyes, malkay mackay and even an englishman sam allardyce. and the satellite that will give
7:01 am
daily updates on pollution levels around the world. and sarah is out and about with the weather. i‘m at hyde park where it‘s a fine start. some brain in the north—west, through the weekend temperatures will be on the rise. —— rain. we could have up to 23 degrees on sunday. police in both london and new york are investigating claims of sexual assault made against hollywood producer harvey weinstein. in his first public comments since the allegations were published, mr weinstein admitted he made mistakes and he asked for a second chance. the movie mogul harvey weinstein is facing a growing litany of accusations from some of film‘s biggest stars. more than 20 women including angelina jolie, gwyneth paltow, cara delevingne and heather graham have spoken out. the latest is the british actress kate beckinsale, just 17 when she claims weinstein first harassed her. 0n bbc‘s hardtalk, jane fonda talked about the film industry‘s reluctance to speak out.
7:02 am
i found out about him about a year ago and i wish that i had spoken out. well, why didn‘t you? well, it didn‘t happen to me. i understand, but nonetheless... i didn‘t want to expose and i will admit i should have been braver. mr weinstein is now being investigated by the nypd and the metropolitan police in london. the 65—year—old denies three accusations of rape and any nonconsensual sexual relations. speaking to the bbc, oscar winner emma thompson claimed there were many others like harvey weinstein in hollywood. i didn‘t know about these things, but they don‘t surprise me at all and they are endemic to the system anyway. what i find sort of extraordinary is that this man is at the top of a very particular iceberg. i don‘t think you could describe him as a sex addict, he‘s a predator. mr weinstein is now thought to be on his way to a rehab clinic
7:03 am
in arizona as this scandal continues to deepen. we‘ll be hearing more of that interview with emma thompson just after 8am. england‘s chief medical officer has urged global leaders to address the growing threat of antibiotic resistance. professor dame sally davies has warned that in future routine operations could become incredibly "risky" and transplant medicine would be a "thing of the past". 0ur correspondent adina campbell has this report. with infectious diseases becoming increasingly difficult to treat, the fight against bacteria is essential. for decades, we‘ve relied on antibiotics to prevent and treat infection. a bedrock of modern medicine. but now there‘s a new warning that the drugs we often turn to to protect us could become less effective due to drug—resista nt infections.
7:04 am
what we want is patients to recognise that if they have flu or common colds, viruses, antibiotics are absolutely no use, so please, if the doctor says it‘s a virus, you don‘t need an antibiotic, listen to them and don‘t push them for something that‘s not going to make a difference to you, but could make it much more risky as medicine goes forward for your children and your grandchildren. it‘s estimated 700,000 people around the world die every year from drug—resista nt infections such as tuberculosis, hiv, and malaria. without antibiotics, it‘s feared common medical procedures such as cesarean sections, cancer treatments, and hip replacements would become too risky. the uk government and the wellcome trust, a global charity that supports scientists and researchers, have now organised a meeting for health experts around the world.
7:05 am
it‘s as a new project is being announced at the spread of death and disease caused by superbugs, if no action is taken, it is estimated the drug resistant infections will kill 10 million people every year by 2050. more than 30 people are known to have died in wildfires in northern california. thousands of firefighters have been called out to deal with fires in an area more than 20,000 acres. a correspondent with cbs sent this report. they do have some containment. there are 22 fires in this area of northern california and the biggest fires, they have containment, meaning they‘ve stopped the progress, but that‘s only 1% of the fires. 99% they haven‘t stopped. but, hey, that‘s a step in the right direction. they were feeling they weren‘t
7:06 am
making any progress at all and this is day four. the reason is all of the vicious winds we‘ve had to deal with, especially monday, wednesday and a little bit today. today hasn‘t been nearly as bad as they expected, just a light breeze. 3,500 — 3,500 homes and buildings were burnt down here and we are getting a different perspective here in santa rosa. the fire trucks are here and some homeowners are here, going through the sad task of going through and seeing if they can salvage anything out of their house that burnt down. but as far as you can see, row after row, street after street, every single house burnt down. more than a thousand is the estimate by people here in santa rosa and those who live here. an nhs mental health trust has become the first in england to be put in special measures for a second time amid concerns over patient safety. inspectors said services at the trust covering norfolk and suffolk were unsafe due to staff
7:07 am
shortages and that it had failed to learn from patient deaths. pippa is struggling to come to terms with her son‘s death last year. henry was detained by police under the mental health act after he was found peering over a bridge. he was taken to hospital at the norfolk and suffolk mental health trust but discharged the next day when he said he was feeling better. five days later henry hank himself. pippa says the hospital should have realised he was at risk. i feel i have been com pletely was at risk. i feel i have been completely robbed of the future i had planned with my son. i will never attend his graduation from university, i will never attend a wedding or see him have grandchildren. the trust said it is sad and when things go wrong and there will be an inquest. hospital inspectors said they were concerned
7:08 am
the trust was still not focused on learning from patient deaths. the number of serious incidents was higher. staff shortages meant services were unsafe and some staff had caseloads of 60 to 70 patients. some patients struggle to access crisis care. last year when the trust was taken out of special measures, any patients and families warned it hadn‘t improved. today questions are being asked about whether inspectors acted too hastily. we took the decision a year ago based on what we found at the time. what we saw then was it was a service that wasn‘t improving —— was improving and our anticipation and hope that that time was that it would continue to improve, so we are disappointed. it -- in september the trust‘s chief executive announced his assigned —— resign meant. they say it has now begun urgent work to address inspectors‘ concerns. a rise in insurance claims made by
7:09 am
british tourists for alleged gastro illnesses is to be investigated by the government, after there were 35,000 claims of three years. authorities are asked to submit evidence to help drive the crackdown on so—called holiday sickness claims culture. it reportedly cost the travel industry millions of pounds and risks pushing up prices for law—abiding holidaymakers. you‘ve heard of tall tales. how about this one? a man had to be resuscitated after supposedly swallowing a fishy just caught. this is a picture of a dover sole and it is what the angler caught. he was in... in bournemouth. when he caught this dover sole in bournemouth he was celebrating the catch. it was only six inches long. but the fish was still alive. so he
7:10 am
was holding it and kissing it and thenit was holding it and kissing it and then it jumped down was holding it and kissing it and then itjumped down his throat. it is quite serious because he started to choke... do you want me to carry on? it is just such a bizarre story! the upside of the story is he is ok. he was in a very bad way for a few minutes. we will be speaking... if you want to know what it is like to pluck a live fish out of someone‘s throat when they are in the most desperate situations, we will be speaking to the paramedic who actually carried out that treatment little later this morning and he will take us through the story step—by—step. 0n the face of it there are comic elements to it, but he was in real trouble. a very serious story and we will talk to the paramedic. he suffered cardiac arrest and he had to be resuscitated. anyway, he is fine. deadlocked or making good progress?
7:11 am
very different verdicts on brexit negotiations, beginning in brussels yesterday. the latest rounds of talks ended. the eu negotiated michel barnier said the refusal by britain to spell out how much it would pay on leaving the eu was disturbing. meanwhile, brexit secretary david davis said good progress was made on eu citizens‘ writes. let‘s be to a columnist for the guardian and a columnist for the guardian and a columnist at the spectator. thanks for your time. we don‘t know what it is like inside that meeting, but clearly two people can come out of it with very different feelings about what occurred. what are you hearing? different interpretations. we heard a lot about the momentum that the reason they gave those talks and yesterday the press conference definitely had a feeling of deja vu because michel barnier was being very severe and david davis being very optimistic. so
7:12 am
there is probably a middle point in terms of where we actually are. do you agree? how do you see that, the opening gambit? is on the problem is the government is bitterly divided because theresa may has little authority. the eu are fully aware of that. yesterday we saw the former tory chancellor nigel lawson calling for the sacking of the payment because he is seen as downbeat on the whole situation currently, with brexit talk negotiations. 0n the other hand you have borisjohnson and his brigade. and theresa may's week authority as well. so when it comes to for example being subject to the european court ofjustice's jurisdiction during the transition period, the likes of cases —— jacob rees—mogg, when it comes to a divorce settlement, it divisions within the conservative party. and michel barnier says it is
7:13 am
disturbing, but that's why the conservatives are so divided over what that settlement would be. the problem is you've got a very bitterly divided conservative party. and every single government in the eu, all 27 negotiating governments, are eu, all 27 negotiating governments, a re fully eu, all 27 negotiating governments, are fully aware of that and that's where i think very little progress is being made at the moment. the next step and the next twist in this plot is next week. eu leaders gathering and discussing what to do next. it takes it away from if you like the bureaucrats to the leaders themselves, essentially where the real decisions are made. how do you think that will go? and we saw yesterday in a press conference david davis was trying to go above michel barnier‘s head. it isn‘t the best tactic, to get the green light to move talks forward. michel barnier says that won‘t happen this time, but he did say in two months when the second meeting happens he
7:14 am
hopes there will be progress made. if progress isn‘t made by that point that‘s when it gets worrying, but generally the expectation was we wouldn‘t get to this point at this meeting. so it‘s not all doom and gloom yet, but we will see in two months. iain duncan smith is a prominent tory backbencher and former cabinet member and he says if no progress is made by december written should just walk away from the talks. i think a lot of people would find that worrying. that this would find that worrying. that this would happen as soon as december, leaving britain pretty isolated with its closest and biggest trading bloc. so there is growing pressure. because the pm has little authority, the brexiteers can flex their muscles and that‘s why having these open suggestions by tory backbenchers that britain could just walk away from the negotiating table... where are you on the notion that in some ways it plays the great britain‘s hands do not redoing deals yet? inasmuch as as they talk more
7:15 am
and more about walking away, the brinkmanship element of this is that the eu‘s negotiators will not want that either and at some point they will start to concede. true, but britain has more to lose from that than the eu and the prospect is that we could end up as a country with a no deal situation on subject to the world trade organization rules and a big economic shock to the economy. it wouldn't be ideal for the eu, but the damage that would cause would be far greater for britain. if you talk to eu diplomats, you've got to realise that all these governments have their own electorates and they already felt written had special treatment before brexit happened —— britain. and a lot of their voters don't feel very sympathetic towards britain's situation. so regardless of their road situation, the government is feel pressure from their owner lecture at not to give
7:16 am
too much to britain. if brits concede a lot they feel it would in bold in their own anti—eu parties and anti—eu sentiment across europe. so we've got to remember this is a country that is notjust so we've got to remember this is a country that is not just this country that is not just this country negotiating with its own electorates and voters' demands, we've got 27 eu countries. so of course there will be an element of brinkmanship, but we are dealing with 27 different countries come up our closest trading allies. and what's more they know that this country and government is very divided over this issue and they will exploit that. one last thought, how important is it that the country still has confidence in david davis and his negotiations. it is confusing, when you do not know what is happening. definitely. it is important that the public still has confidence in his ability is and they need to work out if they do not have confidence in him, do they have confidence in that
7:17 am
of labour? and they do not because they have been badly positioned in they have been badly positioned in the past. poll came out asking whether or not no deal was better than a bad deal. many respondents said it was. that may mean the government needs to think about, if the talks continue to come to this frustrating deadlock. we await to see what happens next week. 80 minutes past seven. can you think of anything better now warm weekend than sitting by the side of a river as the sun rises. were going to show you the serpentine in hyde park and the sun is finally risen and it will bea the sun is finally risen and it will be a hot day to day. for october. good morning to you both. you probably heard rumours of temperatures on the rise and probably heard rumours of temperatures on the rise and it probably heard rumours of temperatures on the rise and it will

be warming up through the course of the weekend. it could be 22 or 23 degrees. this morning hear the view was cloudy above the serpentine in london. is a breeze rippling the water around here but it is actually try to start the day. not dry everywhere a cross try to start the day. not dry everywhere across the country. looking at the forecast we will see some rain today in the north and the west. dry towards the south and east. by nine o‘clock this morning some of the rain will be quite heavy across parts of scotland, particularly over the high ground is in west of scotland. a little rain in the east of scotland but it will be windy and mild as well. that a richer already in the mid—teens. heading south across northern england, the wettest weather will be for the likes of cumbria and lancashire as well. dry towards the east of the pennines, east anglia and the south—east of england, clear spells here first thing. afresh died, sunny spells likely as well. the west across england and wales, cloudy skies here. patchy drizzle for the likes of dorset towards
7:19 am
cornwall and some heavy rain across the north of wales, particularly for snowdonia. across to northern ireland, here it is looking like a cloudy and breezy morning with patchy outbreaks of rain. as we have through the day, that rain in the north and the west edges its way slowly further south. you will be quite breezy as well. we are looking dry conditions the south of the east. 1920 degrees here is where we see sunshine breaking through. we will have fresh and clear conditions working in the north later in the day. a little cooler across the northern scotland and northern ireland later this afternoon but the wind should ease a little bit as the rain clears away towards the south. in the south it will remain dry and looks mild as well. this evening and tonight we will continue to see rain across parts of northern england, wales is well. to the south of that, a mild night to come with the temperature in the mid—teens overnight. refresher conditions pushing into the north of the rain band across scotland and northern
7:20 am
ireland. were ever you wire, a frost free start to the morning. saturday morning we will see the wind easing away compared to today‘s so it looks like a decent day. still a little rain easing away from northern england and wales, wet weather at times for northern ireland in the west of scotland. dry elsewhere and west of scotland. dry elsewhere and we are likely to see 20, 21 or 22 degrees in the sunny spells. that will fill pleasant. sunday is another decent looking day for many of us. again, some rain in the far north—west at most places are dry with light wind and a southerly breeze. by the time we reach sunday we could see highs of around 22 or 23 degrees. enjoy the warm weather through the weekend. things could turn windy by the time we get to monday. thank you very much. we will see you seem. the time now is 21 minutes past seven. one in ten girls can‘t afford to buy sanitary items. that‘s according to figures given to bbc breakfast from a survey carried out by girls‘ charity — plan international uk.
7:21 am
earlier this year, leeds was the focus of what‘s called ‘period poverty‘ — after young girls there spoke about not being able to afford pads and tampons. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin has been to leeds to see if the situation has improved. periods don‘t really make for an easy conversation. but these girls think it is one we need to have. statistics out today said that many girls can not afford to cope when their period arrives each month. is this something you relate to? definitely. you have to pay for food, phone bill, bus fare and then on top of that you pay maybe ten or £15 a month on top of that for feminine products as well. are there times of the month when you will ask friends for help? oh, you might. my parents help me with costs. the thing is the about buying cheap ones, why should i have to? they are just as good as the expensive ones some would say. the cheap stuff feels cheap occasional usually. we are told that affordability is an issue. new research out today reveals that
7:22 am
10% of those questioned have been unable to afford sanitary wares. 15% struggle to afford product while14% have had to borrow from a friend. in march here in leeds, a bbc interview helped to turn these issues into a national conversation. i wrap this up around my underwear. i did not get any money because my mother was a single parent and she had five mouths to feed. since then, scotland has championed the cause, offering free pads and tampons in schools. this groundbreaking commitment will be delivered from the start of the new academic year in august. wales say they watch the schemes with interest as many councils they are considering doing the same. in england yesterday... schools already have discretion over how they can use their funding if they want to make sanitary products available to disadvantaged students,
7:23 am
then they are free to do so. the government said this is a decision for schools to make. itjust goes... back in the city college, the charity freedom for girls outlined affordable options. there are reusable items, diy items... you folded and once it is inserted it pops open. i would not feel comfortable... but, again, it is convenience... what was once a taboo conversation is now out in the open. it is unbelievable, the number of people who have come to me and said it is happening in their town. other people within the national conversation who say this is daft, that these can be quite cheap. this is about prioritising something and it is forfamilies and girls to make that priority, not the state. people don‘t understand
7:24 am
that they always have money in their pocket and people don‘t, some people don‘t, unfortunately. unaffordable, perhaps to some girls. avoidable, unfortunately not. chain is with us now. many people will be surprised and probably quite angry to hear that here in the uk one in ten women are unable to manage their period effectively because they can not for the sanitary products. let me deal with that. what we hear is that girls are improvising. like you heard an interview in march that kickstarted this conversation that we have not had for nationally, we have been improvising with socks and tissue paper. as well as anger there is cynicism there as well. let me show you some examples from twitter this morning. what is this media frenzy about sanitary pads? they
7:25 am
only cost £1 50. susan on twitter, they can probably afford he died and make up. there is cynicism but let me remind you these costs are small but that powerful interview back in march of that young girl whose mother could not afford sanitary products and she was improvising with socks, what that showed what the survey shows is that for a small number of people these costs, though small, really too for their family. plan international, the charity behind the research, say that they have also found half of girls questioned are embarrassed about their periods. nearly half have missed school because of a. only one in five are comfortable discussing periods with their teacher. the debate is about affordability but also about education. who would have known, who orderfor one also about education. who would have known, who order for one year ago we would be on television on breakfast tv demonstrating how to use a
7:26 am
menstrual cup. that would never ever happened. this debate has changed everything. thank you very much and thank you for your comments as well add your thoughts. the time is now 726. time to go to ban now who is that a wallpaper manufacturer. the biggest in the uk. he‘s learning some new skills to good morning. good morning and welcome to lancashire. this is the largest wallpaper maker in the uk. you can see the stuff here is drying off. it has been through the processes of the printer. we showed you the glitter paint earlier, this is where it ends up. it is boiling in here because this stuff needs to be dry before they put the next layer on. sales here are 10% over the year so far. let‘s find out what is behind the resurgence and what it means for the resurgence and what it means for the 500 or so workers here and lancashire. before that, let‘s get the news, travel and weather
7:27 am
wherever you are this morning. good morning from bbc london news. i‘m alex bushell. there‘s been a steady rise in the number of modern day slavery offences across the capital over the last five years. a freedom of information request by bbc london has also revealed that only 6% of all slavery offences in london last year resulted in prosecution. victims have been found working in car washes, nail bars and on construction sites, with many not even realising they are being exploited. we do need to see more people put where they deserve to be put, which is in prison. our legislation makes life in prison the maximum and we do see sentences going up. today is the last day or uber to appeal against the decision to strip it of its private hire license in the capital. last month tfl said the tech giant wasn‘t ‘fit and proper‘ to operate in london, and refused to renew its license because of "public safety
7:28 am
and security implications". since then, the company‘s top boss has met with tfl, and hundreds of thousands of people have signed a petition against the decision. a man arrested on suspicion of pushing a woman into the path of a bus whilejogging has been released without charge. cctv footage showed a man pushing the woman on putney bridge in may. the 49—year—old man is the third suspect to be released without charge. he was arrested in aberdeen on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm by the met, who say he would face no further action. a look now at the travel situation and the travel board shows us that the tube is operating a good service on all lines. elsewhere on the lines, heathrow connect has no service currently and no trains are expected until the end of the day. the heathrow express also has no service between tunnels one, two, three and tunnel four, so only tunnel 5 being serviced. queues building at henley ‘s corner. the a310 london rd is closed near twickenham station. and bedford road is closed between the roundabout and the close. quick check now on the weather. lots of sunshine around yesterday and there will be more over
7:29 am
the course of the weekend. not quite as much today. in fact, there will be plenty of low cloud around throughout the day and some brightness through the afternoon. it will feel warm for this time of year and a brisk south—westerly wind. it is a mild start to the morning, plenty of low cloud around through the morning, drizzle falling from the cloud. otherwise a dry day and possibly some brightness forming a little later on through the afternoon. in the best of the brightness we will see highs of 19 or 20 degrees but it will be windy at times. overnight tonight the wind will die down. a mild night indeed for this time of year, the start of the weekend, 14 or 15 celsius. normally in the middle of october we would expect sevens and eights. we still have more coming up from the south over the course of the weekend. and looks like it quite cloudy on saturday. if we get any brightness and sunshine through the afternoon the temperature could
7:30 am
reach 21 degrees. the temperature is likely to be higher on sunday when we see more on the way of sunshine. 22, 23 celsius with temperatures peaking on monday when it looks rather windy. i‘m back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. here‘s a summary of this morning‘s main stories from bbc news. police in both london and new york are investigating claims of sexual assault made against the hollywood producer harvey weinstein. in his first public comments since the allegations were published, he told waiting journalists that everyone makes m ista kes and has asked for a second chance. he is now said to have checked into a rehab clinic. hollywood actor jane fonda gave her reaction on the bbc‘s hardtalk program. why don‘t they talk about it? because he is powerful,
7:31 am
because they are scared. i mean, who are the women he preyed upon? young women. most of these women were in their 20s when it happened. vulnerable, afraid that if they said anything or did anything that it would ruin their career. i found out about him about a year ago and i wish that i had spoken out. why didn‘t you? it didn‘t happen to me. none the less. i didn‘t want to expose and i will admit that i should have been braver and i think from now on i will be when i hear such stories. thank god it‘s being talked about. this is hardly unique in hollywood. it‘s very, very common, just as it is in every country of the world, in every... in business and government. it is the entitlement of too many men and it is epidemic and when they are famous and powerful, like harvey, then it gets talked about. emma thompson has been talking to
7:32 am
bbc newsnight and we will run at full interview at 8:10am. england‘s chief medical officer has urged global leaders to address the growing threat of antibiotic resistance. professor dame sally davies has warned that in the future routine operations could become incredibly risky and transplant medicine would be a thing of the past. health experts previously said resistance to antimicrobial drugs could cause a bigger threat to mankind than cancer. more than 30 people are now known to have died in wildfires that have swept across parts of california. firefighters have been called out to deal with more than 20 fires covering an area of almost 200,000 acres. winds which had been hampering efforts to control the blazes have dropped, but are expected to pick up again. the state‘s governor said the coming days would be critical. diplomats from the eu‘s 27 remaining member states will meet in brussels later to discuss their approach to brexit
7:33 am
talks ahead of a summit of eu leaders next week. yesterday the eu‘s chief negotiator michel barnier described the negotiations as deadlocked, while british ministers again appealed for the other member states to show more flexibility over trade and transition arrangements. the boom in insurance claims is being investigated by the government, after an increase of 30,000 claims in three years. travel industry bosses and others are being invited to submit evidence to help drive the government‘s crackdown on the so—called holiday sickness claims culture, costing the travel industry millions and risks pushing up prices for law—abiding holidaymakers. a british built satellite will go into orbit this morning to monitor air quality around the world. the sentinel 5p will make daily maps of global air pollution and also try to predict natural weather disasters. it‘s part of a project run by the european commission and uk ministers hope this type of collaboration and research
7:34 am
will continue after brexit. in ten minutes, sarah will bring us the weather forecast from hyde park, ahead of that lovely weekend we are supposed to be having. what have you got planned? imight get got planned? i might get the kayak out on the weekend on the river somewhere. about three years ago we had another very hot october. the ice rick outside was melting —— ice rink. people don‘t really want to know about my plans for the weekend. ican imagine about my plans for the weekend. i can imagine you on an inflatable kayak! i always think a kayak is better on water. i wasn‘t about to take it down the m3! you did say river. that makes sense. i might sit on it in the garden. pretend. what‘s next? are they going to stay scottish or go european? or
7:35 am
even, as was suggested, go full english, sam alla rdyce even, as was suggested, go full english, sam allardyce perhaps? stuart mccall the bradford manager has reassuring news for bradford fans. he won‘t be taking scotland. gordon strachan says he shed magical moments with his scottish players, but in the end like those before him he has paid the price forfailing to qualify for a major tournament. last sunday, strachan‘s team missed out on qualification for the world cup in russia and he said his biggest regret was not providing the tournament the fans deserve. so former sunderland and manchester united boss david moyes is the current favourite for the job with malky mackay and even the last england manager sam allardyce is an early contender. how many times the yoof —— do you climbed to of the mountain and then fall? manchester city‘s women have joined chelsea in the last 16 of the champions league,
7:36 am
with an easy win last night, while in glasgow there was a reminder of how cruel football can be last night. glasgow women had done the hard bit in, just about pulling off one of the greatest comebacks in champions league history, scoring four goals to turn their tie around and draw level against kazygort of kazakhstan. we‘ve been talking a lot about mental health issues and now the former liverpool and england goalkeeper chris kirkland has given his first broadcast interview about theissues his first broadcast interview about the issues he has had to deal with over the years. his battle with depression started to affect him when he left wigan athletic. it started for me around 2012 when i left wigan. never wanted to leave wigan, i loved it there. obviously went to sheffield wednesday, but i was panicking when i was travelling and anxiety kicked in. it got to a place where i was worried what i would do. with the gary speed situation, i kept thinking, if i feel this bad, how bad was the feeling before he took his own life? you can read more about chris
7:37 am
kirkland‘s story and hear from him on the bbc sport website. could the days when cricket test matches are shortened? we could soon see four—day test matches. perhaps more relevant for fans who have increasingly turned towards the shorterform of have increasingly turned towards the shorter form of the game. a nine team test championship will also be set up after the 2019 world cup, after the ashes series. teams will play six series over two years. three home and three away. it is a big weekend ahead for rugby union fans. the champions cup starts tonight but the challenge cup began yesterday. however, it didn‘t go very well for gloucester. they got to the final of the competition last season, at the french team were well ahead on the break, streaking clear. lost did recover to get one more point but the french finished up the winners. finally, this whole debate about if
7:38 am
you hit a bad shot in sport, how do you hit a bad shot in sport, how do you deal with it? do you take a deep breath and count to ten? unlike tennis star alexander zverev, when one of the world‘s rising talents found things went wrong in the final of the shanghai masters againstjuan martin del potro, he lost his composure. the racquet survived his first outburst, but then the ball boy tried to intervene and he gave it some more. he gave it a final smashing. he then gave the tangled ex raquet to a fan as a souvenir. i worry sometimes that i‘m not competitive enough. things go wrong andi competitive enough. things go wrong and i tend to laugh. all it is a sign your opponent. they know you are at your weakest. apart from the damage. so you aren‘t competitive enough, you just turn
7:39 am
the tables. yeah. thank you very much. look at this. in just under three hours, a british built satellite will blast off into the earth‘s orbit from the plesetsk cosmodrome in russia. it‘s mission — to gather the most comprehensive detail ever about air pollution in the earth‘s atmosphere, and also try predict natural disasters. this is the sentinel satellite, created at the airbus defence and space facility in stevenage. it is the most recent addition to the family of sentinel satellites, monitoring alp planet, part of an observation programme. it is the first one to measure atmospheric chemistry and greenhouse gases. it will provide information about our air quality and how our climate is changing. the mission is designed to last seven years and will fly 499 miles above the earth. joining us now from the european
7:40 am
space research and technology centre in the netherlands is the european space agency‘s earth observation director. good morning! tell us about why we should be so excited about why we should be so excited about this taking off today. good morning to the viewers of bbc. i am very excited. i have to admit i am very excited. i have to admit i am very excited. i have to admit i am very excited about today. what will happen? it is taking off in three hours. what is the schedule for the day? what will happen in about three hours we will launch sentinel—5p, the first satellite measuring atmosphere chemistry, air quality, from our launch site, from the russian launch site, which is about
7:41 am
800 kilometres north of moscow. and at 11:27am sharp, central european time, the satellite will blast off on top of the rocket. what is it going to measure? what is the purpose? i understand it will measure the earth‘s atmosphere? purpose? i understand it will measure the earth's atmosphere?m will measure air quality. air quality at a position it has never been measure before. because the instrument is quite good. it is seven, the is by 3.5 kilometres, which is really at the scale of cities. so therefore it is measuring very important trace gases, like carbon dioxide, methane, which are an important indicator of pollution caused by mankind and therefore it really measures this on a daily level and provides up—to—date information about air quality, for
7:42 am
the health of people, but also for imports into research models for climate change and a better understanding of our planet. how quickly will we get this information back? we will get it as soon as the satellite flies over the area, within three hours the data will be processed and put online for eve ryo ne processed and put online for everyone to use. i should probably highlight that the data is free of charge for everyone, so it really is a free and open policy which we have applied at vettel anyone can open this information from our website, which we will make available. —— and so anyone. this leads quite nicely onto this. i want to talk about collaboration and the fact that the european space agency is working with the uk of course. is this collaboration going to continue after brexit? have you thought about the impact this could have? this is a very tricky question. of course
7:43 am
the collaboration will continue. we should not forget that this satellite has been built by a consortium of european companies, industries across various member states. about 30 of these companies have been involved. the uk played a key role because airbus defence and space in the uk has been putting the satellite together. also with a very important contribution from the netherlands and many other countries. it is an international effort and it is part of the european union‘s programme. the european union‘s programme. the european union‘s programme. the european union as you know is leading it overall but it is charged by the european commission to implement the space component of its meaning and build the satellite, to disseminate data and make sure the data comes to us. so even after brexit, the corporation will of course remain with the uk because the uk remains a member state of it and this is important to distinguish
7:44 am
from leaving the eu. they are different members and the uk will have made a very important member of the european space agency. briefly, the european space agency. briefly, the launch today, tell us what will happen when the countdown takes off. what other countries we need to worry about? divorced important thing is lift off, also the most risky. —— the most important thing. things could go wrong, although of course we hope nothing will. then soon afterwards, if you minutes afterwards, the first stage of the rocket will be dropped and then the second stage. another very critical moment is the separation of the satellite from the rocket. then once the satellite is separated off course about 90 minutes afterwards the accuracy of the satellite is imported. soon after lunch we should
7:45 am
know is everything is fine. we are very anxious to see that and we are looking forward. we wish you the best. thank you very much. that was an earth observation director from the european space agency. time now for some unseasonably warm fresh air. sarah is at hyde park for us. and mild start to the day here in hyde park. it is a fairly cloudy picture first thing this morning with beautiful autumnal colours to the trees during the course of the day. similar sense most of us this morning, cloudy conditions. if we look at the forecast across the country will not be dry everywhere. there is rain around in the north and the west as well and across scotla nd and the west as well and across scotland this morning some rain will be quite heavy and nine a.m., and especially over the hills and the west. left rain in the west and east of scotla nd west. left rain in the west and east of scotland where it will be breezy.
7:46 am
heading further south into northern england, it looks mostly dry to the east of the pennines. some heavy rains in the west, especially for cumbria and lancashire. heading south across england we see clear skies for east anglia in the south—east as well whether it is a fresh start with sunshine. cloudy conditions for the south—west of england where we will see a bit of drizzly rain for somerset and cornwall for instance. across wales, we are looking at a cloudy morning, quite breezy with outbreaks of rain, especially in the north and west. heavy at times in snowdonia for instance. as we move across to northern ireland, at cloudy and windy sort of morning with patchy outbreaks of rain. throughout the day, the rain in the north and the west edges further southwards through the day, turning rather windy for many of us do in the south and east it will be mostly dry and in the bright spells we are likely to see 19 or 20 degrees was clear and fresh conditions moving in from the north—west of the country. for northern ireland scotland that are
7:47 am
run in the afternoon where it will a little cooler. through the course of this evening and tonight we will keep some rain for parts of northern england and wales as well. to the south and east of the rain band were looking at mild conditions and a lot of, temperatures in the mid— teens, fresh skies and clear conditions moving in for scotland and northern ireland. wherever you worry will be frost fee and quite mild to start the weekend. —— frost free. temperatures on the rise during the weekend, wind falling like compared to today and across england and wales will feel warm. 20, 20 two degrees on saturday afternoon, a little rain on parts of northern ireland and scotland are times where it will be a little bit cool in your. in the second half of the weekend were also looking at a largely dry day for many parts of the country, particularly across england and wales. again, scotland and northern ireland see a bit of rain and a bit more of a breezy as well. the temperature, 22, 20 three
7:48 am
degrees. all that warm weather is down to the fact that we have got a hurricane sitting out in the hurricane. hurricane ophelia. it is category two and weakening as it moves towards the uk you will not be a hurricane any longer but will be close to shores on monday, particularly across the western part ofa particularly across the western part of a country where we could see windy conditions. after that warm weekend, that drew still rather high on monday but watch out for some potential disruption due to that stormy weather moving in to the west. at least it will be warm. thank you very much. we are going to go to thank you very much. we are going to gotoa thank you very much. we are going to go to a wallpaper factory. if you do not know what they look like, this is what they look like. bang is there and this is one of those moments were we tell you not to push the big red dot on. yeah. i think i would be in trouble as i pushed it because this production line goes at 24 hours a day. you get a sense here about what they do because there are reams and reams of this stuff. this is ultimately how it ends up, the
7:49 am
stuff we buy in shops. they make 10 million of these every year and the woman behind me as donna. she comes up woman behind me as donna. she comes up with the designs. you have been here 30 years. you must have seen the ups and downs. for decades, the industry has been in decline but now we are told it is back. why? certainly things like social media helps with regard to that. people are proud of their interiors and a share a lot of inspiration. had to up share a lot of inspiration. had to up with the designs? what do people wa nt up with the designs? what do people want these days? we look at this triangle diamond is either you have developed, what does make a good design. i think it needs to be usable to people need to be engaged with it. in terms of geometrics, in particular, they have been popular this season. they offer a quick breath of colour. we have seen feature walls and now people are choosing to decorate all for walls.
7:50 am
geometrics offer a good alternative to that. so people are perhaps raver choosing something a little bolder. and you sell right around the world from here? you can do that online. from here in the north—west you can sell around the world ? from here in the north—west you can sell around the world? absolutely. and that is great for a place like us to have an international audience. and is well as inspiration in terms of engagement of people who have never been more engaged. they are talking to us in telling us what they want on the walls and that is fabulous for us because we can then go produce it. thank you so much. we would travel the later. i would like to introduce you now to stuart. here‘s from the director of painting and decorating. they use this stuff. good morning. we are talking about the end users. donna explained what people want. you get a through a load of this in yourjob. how has it changed. the modern papers are much
7:51 am
easier. a great number of the products are excellent these days. andean design, what are people telling you? andean design, what are people telling you ? they andean design, what are people telling you? they are now choosing wallpaper but what sort of stuff do they want? a variety. there is a wide choice out there. you said it is now easier to hang. does that mean people do not need jobs like yours was to mark they can do it themselves? there will always be a need for a tradesman to hang wallpaper correctly. but you find that customers will try it themselves because it is far simpler now been traditional wallpapers of yea rs now been traditional wallpapers of years ago. speaking of doing it yourself, i know you judge wallpaper hanging competitions. what do you look for in good wallpaper? i've been judging look for in good wallpaper? i've beenjudging wallpaper look for in good wallpaper? i've been judging wallpaper competitions from my position in the association. i get invited down to these events.
7:52 am
i look mainly for neatness of cutting, the presentation. and you will put me to the test a little bit later on. you will teach me how to hang wallpaper and, perhaps, see who does it best. i don‘t think i‘m in with much of a chance... for now, thank you. i will try and get some of this stuff on the wall a little later. my diy skills are not too bad but i am against an expert sojoin us in 30 minutes for there. i do look forward to that. that sounds like an episode of the generation game. and there is the conveyor belt tightening isn‘t there? one of the premier league‘s biggest football stars is calling on his fellow players to follow his lead and donate 1% of their earnings to charity. manchester united and spain star juan mata hopes to change people‘s lives around the world through football related projects. breakfast‘s john maguire reports. manchester united call their home ground the theatre of dreams. so what must it feel like for these children to come
7:53 am
here from their home in the slums of mumbai in india? it is a beautiful stadium and i am sitting there and watching the stadium, it is good. in the future i would like to come and play in this stadium and score goals. the trip has been organised by the oscar foundation which works to change children‘s live through football. today, they are the guests ofjuan mata who met them during the summer in mumbai and they are the first group to be helped by his new charity, common goal, granting them something that many of us take for granted. i think they are enjoying it and i am happy and proud that they can have a chance to come and live this dream. next month, photos from juan mata‘s trip to india will be exhibited here in the national football league museum. you can feel the impact of football through our charity.
7:54 am
you can see how they used football as a tool for change. he launched common goals charities around the globe and asks fellow professional footballers to donate 1% of their earnings to charity. we have been in conversations with leagues and with people who make decisions in football and, hopefully, it can grow. in the beginning it is difficult but the ultimate goal is that it could be structured and embedded within the structure of professional football. that would be helpful to reach even more people, if we all do it together. most of these children are sleeping on beds for the first time in their lives on this trip. they live in communities with no running water.
7:55 am
yet, today, walked in the footsteps of millionaires. my dream is to be sitting here with my team. juan mata realises he benefits hugely from being part of the highly privileged few. so through his charity, and as its name implies, this common goal, he wants the few to make a real difference to the lives of many. good for him. a lot of other footballers do it as well. it is good that he is making it so public and helping so many people. it is
7:56 am
time now for the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i‘m alex bushell. there‘s been a steady rise in the number of modern day slavery offences across the capital over the last five years. a freedom of information request by bbc london has also revealed that only 6% of all slavery offences in london last year resulted in prosecution. victims have been found working in car washes, nail bars and on construction sites, with many not even realising they are being exploited. we do need to see more people put where they deserve to be put, which is in prison. our legislation makes life in prison the maximum and we do see sentences going up. today is the last day or uber to appeal against the decision to strip it of its private hire license in the capital. last month tfl said the tech giant wasn‘t ‘fit and proper‘ to operate in london, and refused to renew its license because of "public safety and security implications". since then, the company‘s top boss has met with tfl, and hundreds of thousands of people have signed a petition

against the decision. sadiq khan repeated his support for tfl at a meeting of the london assembly yesterday. a man arrested on suspicion of pushing a woman into the path of a bus whilejogging has been released without charge. cctv footage showed a man pushing the woman on putney bridge in may. the 49—year—old man is the third suspect to be released without charge. he was arrested in aberdeen on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm by the met, who say he would face no further action. a look now at the travel situation and the travel board shows us that the tube is operating a good service on all lines. elsewhere on the lines, heathrow connect has no service currently and no trains are expected until the end of the day. the heathrow express also has no service between tunnels one, two, three and tunnel four, so only tunnel 5 being serviced. the a310 london rd is closed near twickenham station. and bedford road is closed between the roundabout and the close. quick check now on the weather. lots of sunshine around yesterday and there will be more over

8:04 am
the biggest fires, they have containment, they have stopped progress but it‘s 1% of the fire, 99% of the fire they haven‘t stopped but that‘s a step in the right direction. they were feeling they we re direction. they were feeling they were making progress at all and this is dave four, the reason being division swindon we have had, especially monday, with misty and today. today hasn‘t been nearly as ad as expected, light breeze, but three and a half thousand homes and buildings were burned down here and we are going to get a different perspective here, the fire trucks are here and homeowners, going through the sad task of going through the sad task of going through and seeing if they can salvage anything from the house that earned down but as far as you can see, row after row, street after street, every single house burned down, more than a thousand is the estimate by the people who work in this city and have worked here for a long time. they believe at least

shop talking about the divorce talks and move on to talking about the future relationship. the bbc has seen a draft copy of the conclusions at that meeting suggests the eu 27 countries might start talking amongst themselves but won‘t start talking directly to the uk. the d raft talking directly to the uk. the draft paper also suggests sufficient progress has not been made. i have to say that‘s not really that surprising, it‘s been pretty clear for months now the chances of moving onto the next stage of talks in october had become pretty slim, michel barnier, the eu chief negotiator said yesterday he was hoping for a decisive progress by december and the uk government hasn‘t managed to move minds between now and next week, it will certainly be keeping its fingers crossed for some big shifts in the negotiations by christmas. thank you very much. and nhs mental health trust has become the first in england to be put into special measures for a

8:08 am
was still not focused on learning from patient deaths. the number of serious incidents was higher. staff shortages meant services were unsafe and some staff had caseloads of 60 to 70 patients. some patients struggle to access crisis care. last year when the trust was taken out of special measures, many patients and families warned it hadn‘t improved. today questions are being asked about whether inspectors acted too hastily. we took the decision a year ago based on what we found at the time. what we saw then was it was a service that was improving and our anticipation and hope at that time was that it would continue to improve, so we are disappointed. in september, the trust‘s chief executive announced his resignation. —— announced his retirement. the trust says it has now begun urgent work to address inspectors‘ concerns. pakistani soldiers have freed in

following 30,000 claims over three yea rs. following 30,000 claims over three years. travel industry bosses have been to submit evidence to help drive the crackdown on sickness claims culture. it reportedly cost the travel industry millions of pounds and pushes up prices for law—abiding holiday—makers. this is a very serious story but i have found it amusing as well. i think that‘s allowed, and anger from bournemouth had to be resuscitated because he accidentally swallowed a fish he had just caught and the reason he swallowed the fish, the dover sole he caught, he tried to kiss the fish and when he caught it, he was having a photo taken and the fish was six inches and did not want to be kissed sojumped out fish was six inches and did not want to be kissed so jumped out of his hand and into his mouth. he did suffer cardiac arrest and luckily there were paramedics nearby, they managed to remove the fish with forceps in an ambulance. the good news is if you want to hear more about how you extract a fish that‘s
8:11 am
is alive because it stayed alive, after a few extraordinary, the paramedic who conducted the minor operation to get it out and saved his life, which is important to say... we will be talking to the paramedic at around 8:30am this morning. it‘s important to say the gentleman who swallowed the fish is 0k gentleman who swallowed the fish is ok and was very well and was in a bad way but is now ok. the time now is 12 minutes past eight. michael have the sport, lots of speculation about who will take over as manager of the scotland football team and there is at hyde park, talking to us about the weather, we are set for a warm weekend? about the weather, we are set for a warm weekend ? let‘s about the weather, we are set for a warm weekend? let‘s go back to the lead story this morning. a bully and a predator. they‘re the words used to describe hollywood movie producer harvey weinstein as the scandal around him continues. police on both sides of the atlantic have now confirmed he‘s facing allegations of sexual assault and harassment. last night, in his first public comments since the allegations were published, mr weinstein said ‘everyone made mistakes‘ and he asked for a second chance.
8:12 am
now, double oscar winner emma thompson has told the bbc about the huge problems in the movie industry and has questionned whether it can change. my my main contact with him was shouting down the phone that i never wa nted shouting down the phone that i never wanted to work with him, ever, ever, when i came in two rooms he was, he would look... well look actually frightened because i think that is the sort of thing is, if you call a bully and their behaviour they tend to 4g. so you called him out being a bully to women? not to women, in his business practice, i did not know about these things but they don‘t surprise me at all and they are endemic to the system anyway. what i find sort of extraordinary, is that this man is at the top of a very
8:13 am
particular iceberg, you know, he is, i don‘t think you can describe him asa i don‘t think you can describe him as a sex addict, a predator, that‘s different. he is as it were, the top of, the latter, a system of... harassment and belittling and bullying and interference and what my mother would have referred to in the olden days as pestering. is he pestering you? the olden days as pestering. is he pestering you ? that‘s the olden days as pestering. is he pestering you? that‘s the word we use to using the olden days. this has been part of women‘s world since time immemorial, what we need to start talking about is the crisis in masculinity, the crisis of extreme masculinity, the crisis of extreme masculinity which is the sort of behaviour and the fact that it is not only ok but it also is represented by the most powerful man in the world at the moment. when you describe him as being the tip of the iceberg do you think there are others like that in your industry in hollywood? of course,. many? many.
8:14 am
to that degree? maybe not to that degree, do they all have to be as bad as him? to make it can? does it only count if you really have done it to loads and loads and loads of women or doesn‘t count if you do it to one morning, once? wink clutter. how would you explain? we know people knew about this for decades, his sexual behaviour, the directors, agents, fixers who seemed to push these women, actresses into the lion's mouth, how do you explain that? isn't it the same story as jimmy savile? it‘s the same story, emily. if someone is powerful, you can say is a nurse is used to do, be careful, be careful, pretend you are asleep so some of the agents may have said, he‘s a little bit, orderly, a little bit is, don‘t worry, he might pester you a bit but go in because one of the big
8:15 am
problems about the way in which our systems work at the minute is that there are so many blind eyes and we can‘t keep making the women to whom this happens responsible, they are the ones who have got to speak. why? we have got to look and say this is happening and say this is happening. the difference with the nurses as they were trying to protect the patient from someone they knew was predatory, with directors or agents or fixers they were pushing these women sometimes into his line of fire. yes, it's pretty filthy, right? that‘s a conspiracy of silence. i think there are probably about a million missed opportunities to call this man out on his disgusting behaviour. so what should happen now, do you think on a practical level his cbe should be revoked? sure, i mean, that‘s not the most important thing to me. the most important thing to me. the most important thing to me. the most important thing to me is that we extrapolate from this event what is really going on. that is what is
8:16 am
most important otherwise all that will happen is everyone will go, rememberjimmy savile, remember harvey weinstein? what we need to do is change this if we want to do something. we need to get more women into this profession in a position of power. is this the moment you say, i think hollywood will now change? can you say that, hand on heart? no, no! change? can you say that, hand on heart? no, no i can‘t. but, ido change? can you say that, hand on heart? no, no i can‘t. but, i do see a lot of voices and i do want to add mine to theirs and say that hollywood can, and must, change. emma thompson speaking to emily maitlis. you‘re watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning... england‘s chief medical officer is urging global leaders to address the threat of antibiotic resistance with the warning that future operations could become risky. more than 30 people are now known to have died in the wildfires sweeping parts of northern california. thousands of firefighters have been called out to more than 20 blazers.

—— blazes. a warm weekend for most of us, sarah keith—lucas is in hyde park with the latest. swans on the la ke park with the latest. swans on the lake behind you, the sun appears to be peeking through. it looks lovely! it's be peeking through. it looks lovely! it‘s a gorgeous morning, eddie cibrian start of the day here in hyde park. good morning to you at home and charlie and naga. some beautiful autumnal colours across the serpentine in hyde park. similar skies across the country. out of that club, we have some wet weather. some rain across the north and the west of the uk, further south and east, most of us stay dry and a bit brighter too. some rain across scotland could be heavy, especially over higher ground, in the west. a little in the way of rainy reaching north—east england,
8:18 am
but north—west scotland is soggy, especially in cumbria, there‘s been a lot of wet weather there recently. in the south—east, clear skies and sunshine, a fresh start to the day. thick cloud towards the south—west of england, with outbreaks of patchy rain. some drizzle is likely for the likes of somerset, dorset, devon and will at times, and in wales, there will at times, and in wales, there will be rain. a weather front which is heavy at times across snowdonia. moving across the irish sea to northern ireland, a cloudy and breezy morning. patchy outbreaks of rain. not raining all the time across northern ireland but through the day, that band of rain and brisk winds shifts a little further southwards. we start to see bright and clear conditions heading in across northern scotland, and eventually northern ireland. to the south of that band rain, mostly dry. in the southeast, temperatures of 19
8:19 am
or 20 degrees. wherever you are, a breezy feel to the weather today. through the evening and tonight, wet weather in parts of northern england, and into wales too. most of the country are looking dry tonight but with cloud around, it will be mild, especially in the cell. overnight temperatures of 14—16d. very mild for this time of year. fresher in the north with clear skies. but to start your day on saturday, it‘s a mild start. temperatures on the rise. where sunshine breaks through across england and wales, its 21, possibly 22 degrees on saturday. bring further north—west where it is breezy and slightly cooler too. sunday, another decent looking day for many of us. especially across england and wales. warm, 23, 20 4 degrees. a little cooler and breezy with a rain in the far north—west. after the weekend‘s warmth, some
8:20 am
windy weather on the way. there is a hurricane at the moment across the azores in the atlantic. not a hurricane by the time it moves towards us, but it will still bring windy weather. hurricane ophelia moving through on sunday. some windy weather by monday. stay tuned to the forecast but certainly, over the course of the weekend, it will be feeling pleasantly warm. back to you both. i‘m looking forward to the weekend thanks, sarah. more now on our top story this morning, and the stark warning that a growing resistance of bacteria to antibiotics could spell the end of modern medicine. earlier, dame sally davies said we need to change our approach to make sure they are viable in future. patients need to recognise that if they have flu, or common cold
8:21 am
viruses, antibiotics are no use. please, if the doctor says that it isa please, if the doctor says that it is a virus and you do not need an antibiotic, listen to them and do not push them for something that will not make a difference to you that could make it much more risky as medicine goes forward for your children and your grandchildren. we‘re joined now by dr aisha awan, a gp based in manchester. dame sally davies made it clear why she is concerned about taking action for the future. but why are we talking about this now? there's a conference in berlin at the moment looking at drug resistance. that has developed to things such as bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungus. little micro organisms that live on the skin, in our environment. those drugs are not working any more. is that because the bugs have got stronger all the drugs have become weaker? bugs are smart. what they do is they evolve. if they are exposed to an
8:22 am
antibiotic, and inappropriate and biotic —— antibiotic or a courses cut sure because someone feels better, the are good at passing that on to other bacteria or viruses. the resista nce on to other bacteria or viruses. the resistance spreads and so we develop a situation where the drugs that we are using to treat common and simple infections, things we do routinely in hospitals like knee replacements, cesa rea ns, in hospitals like knee replacements, cesareans, basic treatments for play patients with skin infections, there‘s antibiotics will no longer work. is it work. isita work. is it a simplistic response, but better antibiotics, is that not the solution? it isn't the only solution, partly the problem is that there is little desire from certain pharmaceutical companies because resista nce pharmaceutical companies because resistance is developing so quickly. so, we had a new antibiotic
8:23 am
developed a few years ago but within a year there was resistance. it‘s a global problem with the overuse of antibiotics, notjust global problem with the overuse of antibiotics, not just in global problem with the overuse of antibiotics, notjust in humans that people buying over—the—counter in other countries, but also in agriculture. antibiotics misuse in agriculture. antibiotics misuse in agriculture means it ends up in the food chain and we end up ingesting resista nt food chain and we end up ingesting resistant bacteria as well. there needs to be an all—encompassing approach which is what the conference in berlin is looking at. what about the practical element? we talk about how limited time is with gps. you come in committee for a flu, you don‘t have the flu jab, dame sally davies said you should be doing that. six minutes of your time, isn‘t it easy for gps to prescribe antibiotics? it is, but we try not to. i can count on my left hand the number of times i‘ve prescribed antibiotics in the last
8:24 am
two months. fewer than six? the reason is, i have the conversation with my patients and it takes longer but it isn‘t easy. with my patients and it takes longer but it isn't easy. i would really encourage patients not to put pressure on their doctors to prescribe antibiotics for a simple cough or a cold. antibiotics will not treat flu. if you want to prevent flu, get the flu jab. for over the age of 65, it‘s available now, it started two weeks ago in every gp practice in every surgery in the country. children up to the age of two can get a nasal spray, it isn‘t even an injection. we know that the vaccine works very well for children in protecting them against the flu. hand washing is a big deal but also we are potentially looking ata but also we are potentially looking at a world where resistance will be at a world where resistance will be a problem. please vaccinate your child against childhood illnesses, there is no excuse. nice to see you,
8:25 am
thank you. we are buying wallpaper again, apparently. it is back in fashion. ben is that the biggest wallpaper manufacturer for us this morning and he is getting a lesson. how are you prepped? i have my apron, i have the kit. i am with the expert, you know that if you have been here this morning, the biggest wallpaper manufacturer in the country. sales are up sharply, we are looking at why. stuart, you are an expert and you set me a challenge in hanging the wallpaper. paste the war, make sure that you've got enough on there to cover the width of the wallpaper. and roll it down. you have a go with yours, i will have a go with mine. you make it sound too easy. some paste on the wall, how much should i put on? you need a good amount, quite liberal... i don't think that
