hello, this is breakfast with chris mason and mega munchetty. ha rvey harvey weinstein is expelled from the oscars academy. they want to send a message that the era of sexually predatory behaviour in the movie industry is over. good morning — it's sunday 15 october. also this morning: killer drivers could face life sentences under tougher penalties being planned by the government. fierce winds force further evacuations as 10,000 firefighters try to get the california wildfires under control. the clock ticks down on the old round pound. it ceases to be legal tender at midnight but the bank of england says more than 400 million are still in circulation. and crystal palace finally get off the mark in the premier league.

after 7 games without a goal or a point, palace beat the champions chelsea 2—1 at selhurst park. and darren has the weather. it is going to be another bright and warm day to day to many of others. some rain to scotland and northern ireland tomorrow that we start to feel the effects of ophelia. the strongest winds in the west. join me laterfor all the details. first, our main story. disgraced movie mogul harvey weinstein has been expelled from the organisation that runs the oscars — it follows the increasing number of allegations of sexual assault made against him. the academy of motion picture arts and sciences said its board voted well in excess of the required two thirds majority to expel him. peter bowes reports from los angeles. he once ruled the roost. one of the most powerful men in hollywood. harvey weinstein. the movie mogul, the studio boss credited with scores of oscar wins and nominations.

but now branded a rapist, and a serial sexual predator, the hollywood producer has been kicked out of the world's most influential organisation. it followed an emergency meeting. 5a leading figures, including the likes of whoopi goldberg and tom hanks. in a statement, the academy says it wanted to send a message: it means harvey weinstein will no longer be able to vote for nominees or winners of the oscars. there has been praise for the academy‘s decision but many say this should just be the start. mia farrow tweeted. .. the academy‘s action is without precedent. other members such as the director roman polanski who pleaded

guilty to a sex crime involving an under—age girl and bill cosby who was accused of sexual assault, were not expelled from its ranks. harvey weinstein has been accused of rape by five women. they include the british actress lysette anthony. who claimes she was assaulted in the late 1980s. he has denied in engaging in nonconsensual sex but the scandal continues to unfold. there are two police investigations under way in new york and london while hollywood braces for more of its dirty secrets to be made public. this is the most respected film organisation in the world. the meeting that happened, tom hanks, a member of the board of the academy, he was involved in taking this decision but it's part of the story. i was struck by bob weinstein‘s interview, talking about his brother

in light of these allegations, seeing that his brother is depraved, that he is shocked by his lack of remorse and also in revealing that over the last five years, he has hardly spoken to him, describing it as divorcing his brother five years ago, and in the last ten days, since these allegations were made, he has spoken to him a couple of times but he was shocked that he showed no remorse and only wanted to talk about how these allegations had been leaked to the press. killer drivers could face life behind bars under new legislation, the government has confirmed. motorists who cause death by speeding, street racing or driving while on a mobile phone are among those who may be handed the maximum punishment. andy moore reports. joseph brown—lartey was known to his friends as the gentle giant,

at 6'6", towering over his parents. he was killed three years ago in rochdale by a driver travelling 80 miles an hour in a 30mph zone. addil haroon was sentenced to six years in jail. we think the courts should have power to impose impose life sentences for the reckless life—changing cases with multiple victims or speeding or racing or looking at a mobile phone. the wreckage ofjoseph‘s car was displayed in front of the houses of parliament by the road safety charity brake, which welcomes the announcement. it is a victory by families of the bereaved, crash victims and charities including brake but we would like the government to go further and increase resources for enforcement so the law can be properly enforced.

the parliamentary advisory council for transport safety said there was no evidence that tougher sentences would act as a deterrent. i think it's understandable where it's coming from but i think there is a danger that it will disappoint the victims' families and have no effect on road safety. this lorry driver, tomasz kroker, was scrolling through music on his mobile phonejust seconds before he ploughed into a line of stationary traffic, killing four people. he was sentenced to 10 years injail. the government says cases like this should be seen as similar to manslaughter and a prison term should reflect that. ina in a couple of minutes we will be speaking to the parents of a man who was killed in a car accident and have been campaigning. health professionals in england are to be told to ask patients aged 16 or over about their sexual orientation, under new nhs guidelines. nhs england said no—one will be forced to answer the question but recording the data would help to avoid discrimination. lesbian, gay and bisexual people are currently disproportionately affected by health inequalities such as poor mental health and a higher

risk of self—harm and suicide. at least a0 people have died and hundreds of people remain unaccounted for after wildfires swept across northern california. thousands have been forced to evacuate their homes. one of the worst affected areas is the city of santa rosa. from midnight tonight, the old round pound coin will no longer be legal tender. the new 12 sided pound is introduced to stop counterfeiters. the hunt is on for old pound coins. sofas are being searched, piggy banks empties and underused purses raided because from monday, those old pound coins will no longer be accepted in most shops. as of last

night, the royal mint estimates that there might be £450 million worth of old coins still in circulation but from monday, shops % obliged to will around pounds four - but customers to keep them separate urge customers to keep them separate from the new coinage when returning them. this has been a really, really big transition period with the £1 coin, probably more so any change in coin, probably more so any change in coin because it is so prevalent in coin because it is so prevalent in coin operated machinery and loose change. it has been quite a tight timetable but the important thing is people realise the deadline is looming, dig up the old ones and get them spent. all is not lost if you miss the deadline. some stores including poundland, tesco and iceland, will continue to accept the old coins until the end of october and in case you were wondering what happens to the old coins, they will be melted down to make a new one.

killer drivers could face life behind bars under new legislation, the government has confirmed. one family who are pushing for such changes are ian and dawn brown— la rtley. their sonjoseph was killed three years ago in a road accident. morning to you both. tell us what happened tojoseph. joseph was a full of life kind of person. he was all about helping people out and very ambitious and a go—getter. what happened tojoseph? he was coming home in the early hours of november nine and as he drove through an intersection, a

couple of cars were racing, one of which went into joseph and killed him instantly. how fast? the police reckon they were travelling well over 80 miles per hour. at the time they saw that, it was one of the worst urban accidents they have ever seen because joseph's car was split into. since then, you have been campaigning to see changes in the law. what you make of what is proposed by the government? absolutely delighted because the sentences don't fit the crime. at the end of the day, people are being murdered on the streets in the sentences are so murdered on the streets in the sentences are so lenient. it'sjust an amazing step forward. so the man who was sentenced, he was travelling at what? more than 80 miles per hour. ina at what? more than 80 miles per hour. in a 30 zone. the man who killed joseph, how long was he

sentenced? he got six years but served three and one of his statements, by text, if all goes well, i will be out in a year and i will not go to a proper prison. how did you feel? when the sentences handed devastated. he was 18 when he committed the crime. 22 when he comes out. joseph was 25 so he is still younger when it comes out after serving his time thanjoseph when he killed him. there is an argument that if people commit a crime, they need to be given the chance to rehabilitate. locking someone up chance to rehabilitate. locking someone up for a life sentence for example is detrimental to that person being given a chance to rehabilitate immunity. you see that argument in terms of longer sentences? i can understand that but the other part of it is you can do

this successfully if the person knows, if they can understand what they are being incarcerated for. what they are being taught to avoid. thought to be a little bit more responsible. right now, there is none of that. people come out, a lot of the road traffic users especially, they get on the roads with no consideration for others. this is what we are trying to prevent. though trying to make people a little bit more aware and keep the world safe because most of these accidents and deaths on the road are unnecessary and that is what we need to get through. what do you seek to critics who look at this proposed change and save the thinking behind it might be right but would it not be better if, for instance, there was a lifetime ban on driving rather than a life in prison because that would ensure

that a dangerous driver never got behind the wheel again. that is one of the deterrence you can put in place. there is no wonder terror and which is going to fix the problem. what we are saying is, we need a deterrent. what's that deterrent is going to be, it's down to the minister for justice, going to be, it's down to the ministerforjustice, down going to be, it's down to the minister forjustice, down to the lawmaking bodies to look out. we have gone for the sentencing because the current sentencing is outdated. it doesn't really confirm to what is going on in the real world today. it's interesting how you've campaigned. he made sure there were some stark images for government ministers to see. we tried to show a picture of the car thatjoseph was driving. he took this to downing street. without the car, it is another sad story. the car was the visual impact and many mps came

across and it really did put a different angle on things. this is real, this is what's happening everyday throughout the country. what would you like to say to someone because what would you like to say to someone because there are people who will get behind the wheel. we know that this man who killed joseph posted pictures of him racing before. and this was part of the pain that you enjoyed because it seemed he was not sorry for what you had done. anyone going out today, getting in a car, what should they be aware of in terms of what a car can do? you are in a killing machine. one thing i have said throughout this, cars are no longer basic cars and we have many people, young and mature, who are driving cars that basically can't handle. no consideration as to what can actually happen if they are not in

control of that car. thank you very much are coming in. we have been enjoying warm temperatures because of hurricane ophelia. this hurricane has now moved to the east of the azores but it is a category three at the moment with sustained winds of the 100 and 15 mph. it will weaken as it approaches the uk but what we see at the moment is the ahead of it. south of that bound of cloud. once it's moved north it will move south again into scotla nd north it will move south again into scotland and northern ireland. england and wales will be dry. mist and rain around and low cloud. that

will lift slowly and we should get some sunshine, possibly some around aberdeenshire where it should be dry. otherwise doubt whether spilling south across all well and. rain drizzle coming northern ireland as well. areas of cloud across england and wales, especially in the west. writes guy ‘s and hazy sunshine further east than this is where we will see the high temperatures. 22 or 23 degrees. overnight tonight it should be dry for england and wales but how we will see rain get a boost for the north because the wind starts to pick up and we draw in some even warmerair pick up and we draw in some even warmer air overnight to close of 13 or 14 degrees away from northern scotland. it is ophelia that will be making the headlines on monday. approaching ireland by monday morning, the centre of the storm, it is not a hurricane by this stage, it will track as we northwards. we will see the wind picked up across the western side of uk. 17 miles an hour

through the south—west are perhaps 80 miles an hour gust across the irish sea. 60 miles an hour later across ireland. follow the east across ireland. follow the east across the uk, the wind is nowhere near as strong. —— had reached across the uk. that storm will track away from northern ireland and push its way into scotland so we will see the wind pick up here on monday night and across northern england there will be some gusty wind over and to the east of the pennines in time for the rush—hour on tuesday morning. be lowered self, what is left of the hurricane will move away. still some rain for northern ireland and in the south is well on tuesday. for a while that could be damaging wind bringing some travel disruption as well. thank you very much, darren. we are talking about the deadliest wildfires california is history. 40 people are now confirmed dead, hundreds are unaccounted for and thousands have been evacuated from their homes.

devan gouvea was evacuated from her home in santa rosa earlier this week. she returned there yesterday and now wants to open it up to others in need. we can speak to devan now. thank you for talking to us. what happened to you ? thank you for talking to us. what happened to you? you were lucky are plenty around you were not. it seems like something has random and unpredictable as the wind could be a factor in which houses survived and which didn't. yes. it is my pleasure to be here with you. basically, that isn't hurriedly when it came down to, especially in the early morning hours when the fires started seemingly some tony eastley. you just do not have the kind of personnel in any area to fight fires like that weekly. again, we had hurricane force winds, up in the hills that was around 75 miles an hour. we still don't definitively

know what the cause of the fire was that as far as i'm aware we believe that as far as i'm aware we believe that was something to do power lines and transformers. so where i am is basically between two of the fires. one that threatened our home initially and then, i believe, that one was backburned close to us on the other side here and that was less tha n the other side here and that was less than half a mile away. denied that it happened, um, the wind was not blowing towards us early in the night and then changed and went in the opposite direction. the fire was still about 1.5 miles away. how practical is it for you now to try and help? you say you want to open your home. how practical is that?m is not that practical. we do not have hot water, wejust is not that practical. we do not have hot water, we just got home ourselves. were both exhausted. my

boyfriend's worker burned down so he has been driving up to albini, about one hour round trip each way to work with the patients at the elderly home where he worked. his patients have dementia and old—timers so possessions are part of how they remember who they are and where they are. it is very important for dementia and old—timer patients. is there to be a familiar face on health than. we are exhausted and it is not practical but that is not something that comes to mind in a situation like this. situations yesterday morning, it took no sold on any of our park. do you feel safe where you are? -- it took no thought now part after we saw the situation yesterday morning. advisories are still in effect and we'd have been

evacuated so many times, the wind could change at any moment and take the fire up to our doorstep again. so it is kind of... 80 — 20 safe, i feel. thank you very much. devon there was a story on the california fires. time now for a look at the newspapers. edwina currie is here to tell us what's caught their eye. we'll speak to edwina in a minute, we will take a look at strictly. it has started and people are talking about at last night. last night ‘s programmes, one of the competitors, alexandra, did ajump. they programmes, one of the competitors, alexandra, did a jump. they were crazy. she got one of the highest scores the series, and near perfect

performance but she was upset because her mother had recently died. it is never too early for a ten. what do you think? i know. ijust wish my mom was here. you did so well. you have done her proud. so we let you go to your friends? it is emotional, isn't it? i was let you go to your friends? it is emotional, isn't it? iwas watching it with my husband and i said you can see why she has been a big star

because she put heart and soul into it. it was electrifying. the standard is much higher at this level of the competition them when i was in it. yes. a 39 in mid- tober! absolutely fabulous. i was first voted out and we were robbed. they are in manchester this week, they have a tango show on and i will go see them. i love watching them. you wonder how you ever did that, how your fee went wonder how you ever did that, how yourfee went in wonder how you ever did that, how your fee went in the right place, i am sure you feel the same. it will carry on. it is here until christmas. time for a look at what you are looking at, 80 story we have covered all week about hari weinstein. it has progressed rapidly. —— harvey weinstein. weinstein. it has progressed rapidly. —— harvey weinsteinm weinstein. it has progressed rapidly. -- harvey weinstein. it is moved into the british territory now

and is in all the papers. a british actress has gone to the police about it and it is now in the hands of the metropolitan police. he will have to a nswer metropolitan police. he will have to answer some questions in britain if he ever bothers to come back here again. he has been sacked from the oscars, from the academy and... you have to say it is the tip of an iceberg. it is the beginning of something, not the end. the statement from the academy said they need to bring this to an end that you have a feeling that this has been going on for so long and he is probably not the only one in a position of power, but this big man, or begin every meaning of the word, he has been bad news for hollywood and it is about time that he came to justice. in the interest of fairness we will say that harvey weinstein has denied all accusations. 29 have

accused in so far, it is not two or three, and some of these are very serious people. when you are in a position of power and you can destroy someone's career or promoted if they are nice to you, that is bad news. looking at the sunday telegraph, the law of the land these days the sunday newspapers have to mention brexit in their headlines. we have a pc about the chancellor and the he is under under after weeks of pressure from boris johnson and pressure from him, entered mr hammond. this is the business section. it always produces some of the best writing of all. it is calm and measured, articulate. it does not fly off the handle. they are saying that the job of the chancellor is to worry. i was a remainer that i do not moan about it. brexit means brexit and we are

out and we need to make a good job of it. there was a poll this week that said, that was put to people, do you agree with the prime minister that no deal is better than a bad deal? 74% said they agreed with that. so we are facing possibly having no deal. the chancellor, whose views are open to business is saying they really would be a bad deal. we have to be aware... we are in the middle of the negotiation and it is important that an outside there are different viewpoints and that they pull together. i like philip hammond. is a very serious and dour man. it is hisjob. do with this... and now we have one big lady. this is lady trumpington. i know her quite well. we worked

together back in margaret thatcher's day. she is retiring from the house of lords because she is about to be 95. she became famous in 2011 when she sat on the front bench in the house of lords and tom king, who was in government at the same time as we were, said some disparaging remarks about the people who had been there during the war, she had been at bletchley, she was a code breaker, that they were now very dodgy or something. she gave him a two finger salute. she did not realise it was being televised! she did not entirely get on with me because she was into the farming world and, of course, she thought i was exaggerating. i think this week ‘s news that shows... this week we were told that runny eggs are now safe to eat. it has only taken 29 years to get there. we will talk to you again in an hour. thank you very much.

andrew marr is on at nine o'clock, we will talk to him now. what is coming up on the programme? good morning. some of the things you have just been talking about. i had two big beasts of the political world on the show, one of the cabinet's leading supporters of brexit talking about philip hammond the chancellor and no deal and all of that. from the labour party sided the shadow chancellor. had choices if the labour party is well. i have also been talking to the former secretary of state hillary clinton including about the effect of russian involvement in british elections. that is interesting. all of that at nine o'clock as usual. thank you and we will see later. headlines are coming up and we will see you soon. hello, this is breakfast with chris mason and naga munchetty. good morning. first, our main story. disgraced movie mogul harvey weinstein has been expelled

from the organisation that runs the oscars. it follows the growing number of allegations of sexual assault made against him. the academy of motion pictures said its board voted well in excess of the required two thirds majority to expel him. peter bowes reports from los angeles. he once ruled the roost. one of the most powerful men in hollywood. harvey weinstein. the movie mogul, the studio boss credited with scores of oscar wins and nominations. but now branded a rapist, and a serial sexual predator, the hollywood producer has been kicked out of the world's most influential organisation. it followed an emergency meeting. 54 leading figures, including the likes of whoopi goldberg and tom hanks. in a statement, the academy says it wanted to send a message: it means harvey weinstein will no

longer be able to vote for nominees or winners of the oscars. there has been praise for the academy‘s decision but many say this should just be the start. mia farrow tweeted. .. the academy‘s action is without precedent. other members such as the director roman polanski who pleaded guilty to a sex crime involving an under—age girl and bill cosby who was accused of sexual assault, were not expelled from its ranks. harvey weinstein has been accused of rape by five women. they include the british actress lysette anthony who claims she was assaulted in the late 1980s. he has denied in engaging in nonconsensual sex but the scandal continues to unfold.

there are two police investigations under way in new york and london while hollywood braces for more of its dirty secrets to be made public. killer drivers could face life behind bars under new laws being proposed by the government. motorists who cause death by speeding, street racing or driving while on a mobile phone are among those who may be handed the maximum punishment. but one prominent road safety group said changing the law could do more harm than good. health professionals in england are to be told to ask patients aged 16 or over about their sexual orientation, under new nhs guidelines. nhs england said no—one would be forced to answer the question but recording the data would help to avoid discrimination. lesbian, gay and bisexual people are currently disproportionately affected by health inequalities such as poor mental health and a higher risk of self—harm and suicide. at least 40 people have died and hundreds of people remain unaccounted for after wildfires devastated northern california over the past week.

thousands more have been forced to evacuate their homes as strong winds fan the blazes towards san francisco. from midnight tonight, the old round pound coin will no longer be legal tender. however, some stores — including tesco and poundland — will continue to accept them for a limited time, and banks will still take them. the royal mint estimates there might be up to 450 million old coins still in circulation. the new twelve—sided pound coin was introduced in march and has high—tech security features to thwart counterfeiters. bye for now. it is time to talk football. it's

been an exciting morning. fantastic. we will talk about one of the most, the most eye—catching results in a moment, crystal palace, theirfirst win of the season. we will start with manchester city, stunning performance, beating stoke city. three games worth of goals. six different players found the net. crystal palace as mentioned, they finally scored a goal and won a game. sometimes you just have to stand up and applaud. not my words — stoke tweeted that after being given a footballing masterclass by manchester city end kevin de bruyne. the belgian at his brilliant best. he laid city's seven goals, but did not find the net himself.

when his team—mates were doing this, he didn't need to. caught it very well! pep guardiola sang the praises of kevin de bruyne and what he said was city's best performance under him. his time on the pitch, it was absolutely world class. i would argue he is the best player in the premier league by a country mile. city now two clear at the top. chelsea were there last season and travelled to keep crystal palace, who still haven't scored in this one. it's in! crystal palace have their first goal of the season! another as well, the champions beaten 2—1. palace win at last — happy hodgson. north of london, arsenal led watford but tom cleverly changed all that, popping up with an injury—time winner to send his side up to fourth. better fortunes for arsenal neighbours tottenham who finally got a league win at wembley. christian erickson on target

in 1—nil win over bournemouth. at turf moor, one down, seven letters, begins with b. that was burnley. chris wood left west ham with a few cross words in their 1—all draw. another new striker impressed at swansea. tammy abraham grabbed two to sink huddersfield town. and it was billed as the game of the day. it wasn't. liverpool versus manchester united, this save being the only thing worthy of applause. in the scottish premiership, celtic remain on top — but only on goal difference. they beat dundee 1—nil — olivier cham with the goal. aberdeen's win at hibernian means they're level on points with the champions. there were also wins for motherwell, hearts and aberdeen. and for kilmarnock, who had their first win of the season, watched by new manager steve clarke, who takes charge on monday. 62 sides battled it out for a place in the first round proper of the fa

cup yesterday. one of the success stories was boreham wood. they beat their hertfordshire rivals st albans 3—1 in the fourth qualifying round. bruno andrada scored twice and shaun jeffers put away a cracking goal. boreham wood will find out who they meet on monday, when clubs from the english football league enter the first round draw. go to the bbc sport website for all the day's results. shaw lane association play barrow in the final qualifier today. it's the opening weekend in rugby union's european champions cup. 5 british teams played on saturday including the english champions exeter who beat the pro 14 leaders glasgow. patrick gearey reports. the champions cup demands much. it is an exhausting competition but an exhilarating one. in meetings between great forces, sometimes it's precise angles that count. glasgow warriors picked one here for tommy seymour to score. the warriors are scotland's only representative in this competition and are in some form but eventually buckled on the overbearing exeter chiefs pressure.

sam simmons settled it. the chiefs have conquered england. what price now europe? this was the first that anyone had seen of la rochelle in the champions cup. few will forget them, lease of all harlequins. the men from the atlantic coast attacked in waves, scoring four tries and 34 points. quins played their part in a remarkable match. and a bonus point as some consolation. points were a little scarcer at the rec. bath has spent much of the time keeping benetton treviso out. but when they got the chance to express themselves, it all flowed. zach mercer with the first of their two tries. 22—nil, not the whole story but the part that matters. earlier, leicester had to face the unseasonable parisian heat and an unstoppable fijian lock. the giant frame of racing 92's leone nakarawa seemed to be everywhere, including in one occasion over the tryline. racing scored three times in the first half but the tigers got two of their own, including johnny may's seventh try in seven games. only enough for a losing bonus point but in this competition, every point is hard—earned.

old rivals rafael nadal and roger federer will meet in the final of the shanghai masters today. nadal‘s amazing resurgence this year continued with a straight—sets semifinal win over marin cilic. the world number one has now won 16 straight matches and is looking for a 7th title of the season. federer came from a set down to beat juan martin del potro. he and nadal have met three times this year, twice in finals, and the swiss winning all three. g roves groves ended cox's street. groves record is a 27 ring —— wins in 30

professionalfights. england's matt wallace takes a two—shot lead into today's final round of the italian open in monza. this impressive putt on the 13th was one of five birdies yesterday. he's 17 under, two shots ahead of fellow englishman tyrrell hatton and the defending champion, italy's francesco molinari. i sent out a text. his nanjane is watching, she is a big fan of brea kfast. watching, she is a big fan of breakfast. great going to go and play his heart out. really nice. good luck. and to tommy fleetwood, not far off as well. it was 30 years ago tonight that one of the worst storms in recent decades hit the uk. 18 people died and hundreds more were injured as winds reached speeds of over 100—miles per hour. just hours before it struck

a certain weatherman told the british public that there was no reason to panic. michael fish has been on a journey revisiting some of the areas worst hit in 1987. iam i am michael fish and i was a bbc weatherman for over 40 years. a lot of snow and eastern parts of the country overnight and still a lot to come. we gave forecast in fahrenheit as well celsius. i've got nothing but bad news. we have trouble with the winds today. and then there was this. earlier a woman called the bbc and said there was a hurricane on the way and if you are watching, don't worry, there isn't. the worst storms the hundreds of years hit the south of england early this morning, killing a dozen people and bringing the whole south—east to a halt. there was no warning, the weathermen we re there was no warning, the weathermen were caught with the forecast down. so was it really a hurricane? i am

meeting someone who should know the answer, the bbc weatherman. a mere eight years old in 1987, he is now a hurricane expert and i'm hoping tom can help me out. you are absolutely right, it is not a hurricane. hurricanes are different weather systems, they do not occur in the uk, they have to happen over tropical waters but the one in 1987 still produced hurricane strength winds so you don't have to have a hurricane to make hurricane force winds, it can still be nasty. people are asking, why won't we warned? didn't the weathermen are there was such a fierce storm on the way? there is a very clear marker, you can see it from space, a particular cloud feature and i think back in 1987, even if you saw it on the satellite image, you would not know what it was because it was poorly understood. i am meeting might fall colleague at the swank headquarters

of the met office in exeter. we are looking at satellite photographs, hand drawn weather maps and photos from back then. look at that zone. this is very, very powerful. this is three o'clock in the morning. the storm was at its peak. some cloud would come across. there would be awarding five days in advance now. there would be no getting away from it. absolutely. and there you go. there is the danger staring us in the face. and if another one comes along, iam the face. and if another one comes along, i am confident next time around, we will all get plenty of warning. we will speak to michael in about one hour. you can watch more on inside out at 730. interesting to talk to darren about weather. you

are looking at some strong winds. at our forecasting has changed. are looking at some strong winds. at ourforecasting has changed. how difficult news presenters have become over 30 years. we were always awkward. we don't get to wear such ridiculousjumpers awkward. we don't get to wear such ridiculous jumpers any more and no magnetic symbols. that is the change i don't like. did you like those? i heard a story. that the engineers, the technicians would revert the polarities so when you came to put a shower on the sunshine, and that is when michael would say, oh, don't seem when michael would say, oh, don't seem to be able to get that. but 30 yea rs seem to be able to get that. but 30 years on, we do have another hurricane. this is a genuine hurricane. it is the most powerful hurricane

this far east. it is now past the azores and heading towards us although weakening. the wind will not be strong but it may have some impact. at the moment the impact is the warm air drawn our way ahead of the warm air drawn our way ahead of the cloud producing rain today. that slips back down into scotland and northern ireland. mist and murk and fog in the south—east and we should get bright skies arriving across many parts of the country. we will see rain slipping down into scotland further south into northern ireland. model of rain here, sunshine around aberdeenshire and there will be sunshine for england and wales but more in the way of cloud into the afternoon across the western areas as the breeze picks up through the day. we will see cloud breaking further east and this is where we will see the highest temperature. this is the picture through this evening. overnight the wind continues to strengthen and push

rain, heavy rain back into northern ireland and eventually into scotland. away from northern scotla nd scotland. away from northern scotland into warmer air as we get closer to the ex—hurricane so temperatures 14 or 15 degrees. this is where ophelia is. on monday the centre is where ophelia is. on monday the ce ntre gets is where ophelia is. on monday the centre gets close to ireland by early on monday morning. did is heading north, tours northern ireland and into scotland. the stronger to end on monday will be across the western side of the uk. and gusts of up to 80 miles an hour later through the irish sea. the rain arriving back into northern ireland and continuing in scotland. or england and wales, had further east and you will probably wonder what the fuss is about as you will be sitting in warm air with temperatures around 23 or 24 degrees. that storm centre will bring some damage and some travel disruption as well as it happens on monday you you will be able to keep up—to—date on bbc local radio. if you want to know current warnings you want to know current warnings you can find them online. this

storm, the ex—hurricane is continuing to move, moving the centre across northern ireland towards scotland on monday evening, monday night, taking some gusty winds of 60— 70 miles an hour through northern ireland into southern scotland and england by rush—hour on tuesday. that storm system rush—hour on tuesday. that storm syste m m oves rush—hour on tuesday. that storm system moves away during tuesday and slowly the wind will gradually ease across northern areas. further south, light winds and sunshine for a while but rain later in the day. definitely worth watching the weather warnings. always so smartly dressed. we will be back with the headlines at eight o'clock. so now it is time for the travel show. hello and welcome to this special look back at some of our most recent and favourite adventures here on the travel show. this week we are on the beautiful island of bermuda, where a couple of months ago the america's cup was in full swing. you can see more of that story in a moment. but here is a taste of what else

is coming up on this week ‘s programme. laughs. that is cold! we are going to kick off by remembering a trip that rajan took to jaffa in israel back in may, when he met at group of remarkable deafblind actors whose performances aren't just entertaining, they are truly inspiring. enjoy. jaffa is one of the world's oldest seaports. so old, they said jonah embarked from here before being eaten by the whale. but this area also has a reputation for cutting—edge culture. and nowhere pushes theatrical boundaries more than the world—famous nalaga'at theatre group, based at this building for a decade now. this is why nalaga'at

is truly renowned. powerful, moving performances, that via screen super titles, express the inner voices of the actors, most of whom share the same genetic disorder. speaks in hebrew. usher syndrome means you are deaf from birth and then gradually lose your sight before adulthood. the shows are meticulously organised with each actor needing their own special cues. beats drum. drumbeats often provide punctuation as the actors can feel the vibrations on stage. i am now on my way to interview bat—sheva, who is essentially the star of this theatre company. she was in its famous production "not by bread alone", now she has her own 1—woman show, "say orange". bat—sheva has been with the company

to more than 16 years. she herself is one of eight siblings, four of whom were born with usher syndrome. overcoming audience preconceptions is one of bat—sheva's biggest challenges. translation: they are not understanding how we can communicate by touch. second thing, how i'm sorting things in my life, how i am dealing with my life. the production "not by bread alone" has become their most successful, touring the world to huge acclaim. the show is about the dreams of each of the actors', and their right to be equal. we can obviously never totally inhabit the mind of someone

who is deafblind. but theatre like this, stretched to its limits, provides us with an insight into the thoughts and feelings of a group of people who in previous times would have been unable to communicate with the wider world. but it's more than that. it is quite simply very good drama in its own right. applause. rajan meeting the awe—inspiring nalaga'at theatre company in israel. now we have got a couple of films about the impact that the sometimes destructive forces of nature can have on some beautiful places around the world, and how people can turn that story around. in a moment, we've got that film i made here in bermuda, about what's being done to stop a certain type of fish destroying

many of the coral reefs around here. but first, in june, christa headed to chile, to visit a coastal town which was devastated by a tsunami but has now been reborn. in 2010, the central coast of chile was hit by one of the biggest earthquakes ever recorded. the magnitude was 8.8, and the city of constitucion was sitting at the epicentre. about 18 minutes after the earthquake, a massive tsunami engulfed constitucion. more than 500 people lost their lives all over chile, to the earthquake and tsunami of 2010. this family had made a living from their boats for generations, but they had never

experienced a tsunami before. when the earthquake began, they ran to their boats to head into the ocean, trying to escape from collapsing buildings. they did not know that they were heading straight into the tsunami. after the tsunami, sofia and her husband found the strength to grow a business with three boats, that offered visitors tours around this beautiful estuary. constitucion has notjust been

rebuilt, but is enjoying a tourism revival. local businesses have popped up trying to draw tourists to the area in new and innovative ways. laughs. the people of constitucion are an inspiration.

not only have they overcome the most unthinkable tragedies, but now they are working to bring joy to the people who come to visit. this place is gorgeous. but beneath these beautiful waters, there is a species lurking that is having an absolutely devastating effect on the ecosystem here. it is a creature that has presented the biggest challenge to marine life in bermuda. they are called lionfish. they are striking to look at, but they don't belong in the atlantic. they are native to the coral reefs

of the pacific ocean. scientists reckon they may have ended up in these waters after being released by aquarium owners. they are extremely gluttonous. they can overconsume at an exorbitant rate. and the problem without is that the fish that live in the atlantic ocean don't recognise that the lionfish as a potential threat. whoo! ah, it's cold! experts here leave the only way to control the lionfish population is to cull them. they are having a huge impact on the ecosystem, and the ecosystem can't evolve fast enough to deal with this new species. and since we put it there, it is our problem to try and control it. uniquely here in bermuda, these lionfish tend to congregate in very deep waters. so it's really hard for fishermen to catch them in large numbers. but now it's hoped that pioneering technology could provide

a more effective answer. this is one of our prototypes of a robot that we've built to go overboard. you sit down at your computer screen, just like you are playing a game, you see through the camera and you drive it down and look for a lionfish, but the lionfish between the electrodes, push the stun button, and the lionfish will lock up with the electricity so it can't move, and then you push another button and suck it into the tube and then go looking to the next lionfish. hunting the lionfish here might seem to go against our usual idea of conservation, which is aimed at preserving, rather than destroying marine wildlife. but by controlling the lionfish population now, scientists say that will give the underwater ecosystem a chance to repair, evolve and adapt, and remain here for generations to come.

come in getting tips from hong kong's king of instagram back in june. i hope you have enjoyed the special look at back. coming up next week we had to macedonia, a town becoming a paradise for those in search of new thrills. that was amazing. i want to go up again. but for now from me and the travel show tea m for now from me and the travel show team here in bermuda it is goodbye. have a bermuda full day. hello this is breakfast, with chris mason and naga munchetty. hollywood takes action. the film producer harvey weinstein is expelled from the oscars academy.
