hello this is breakfast, with steph mcgovern and mega munchetty. tensions rise after spain imposes direct rule on catalonia — just hours after politicians there declare independence. as crowds celebrate, spain's prime minister calls snap elections after sacking the region's leader and chief of police. good morning it's saturday 28th october. also this morning. the family of a severely autistic boy, whose nurse was cleared of misconduct after punching him in the face, says the system failed to protect him. it makes you feel like the whole thing is a joke. people like my son are deemed worthless in society. i feel like they are all being betrayed. nine crew members on a royal navy nuclear submarine have been

dismissed after failing drugs tests. "warped and degrading" — jeremy corbyn says a culture which tolerates the abuse of women, is thriving at westminster. in sport, england get more teenage kicks. it could be the year in which they're football world champions twice, as the under—17s take on spain in their world cup final later today. and do not try this at home! i'll be testing my nerves as i have a close encounter with the british team gearing up for the bike trials world championship in china. and louise has the weather. good morning, it is a cloudy and windy saturday for some. gales in the far north, but sunshine will be in the south and east. more details throughout the morning. thank you. good morning. first our main story. it's been a night of both celebration and protest in barcelona, after the catalonian

parliament voted to declare independence from spain. the spanish government quickly retaliated, sacking catalonia's president and his entire cabinet and taking the region back under central control. prime minister mariano rajoy said his country could not stand by while part of its territory was stolen. let's speak now to our correspondent tim willcox, who's in barcelona. what is it like they now? it is interesting because mariano rajoy might have sacked the parliament here and also the chief of police, but it has had no impact so far on the streets in barcelona. as you say, people were partying late into the night last night. and i think there was a sense, certainly among there was a sense, certainly among the close insiders group around ca rles the close insiders group around carles puigdemont, that madrid would have reacted positively and

concretely on the ground and would have done something. they couldn't believe last night that they have declared independence and nothing happened. we cheer from insiders that he might have wanted to leave the country fearing he might have been arrested and his family taken into custody. so we understand they are outside spain. but at the moment, despite those warnings from madrid, nothing has physically happened here on the ground. thank you. we will keep you up—to—date throughout the day on the latest in spain. nine service personnel on a nuclear submarine have been discharged from the royal navy after testing positive for drugs. the ministry of defence confirmed the dismissals from hms vigilant, one of four submarines that carry the trident nuclear deterrent. kathryn stanczyszyn is here to tell us more. what has happened here? the daily

mail is reporting that all nine of these sub mariners tested positive for drugs after allegedly taking cocaine whilst hms vigilant was docked in the united states somewhere. it was having some work done which meant there was a period of shore leave and this is when all of shore leave and this is when all of this happen. the royal navy says it will not tolerate any kind of misuse of drugs, and this is the second time that hms vigilant has hit the headlines in around a month. 80 weeks ago —— a few weeks ago its former captain was... after a inappropriate relationship. there was a strict no touching rule. it investigated and duties are now carried out as normal. this is part of the uk's nuclear deterrent the submarine, and it raises questions

again and that exactly what has been going on with the crew and how it has been manage. thank you. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn will use a speech today to warn about what he calls "a warped and degrading culture" thriving at westminster which he says tolerates the abuse of women. his comments follow newspaper allegations of inappropriate conduct by unnamed mps. our political correspondent ellie pricejoins us now from westminster. it is interesting that this is emerging here after we have been talking so much about harvey weinstein and what has been going on in the corridors of power in hollywood? that is absolutely right, andi hollywood? that is absolutely right, and i think that is the point of jeremy corbyn‘s speech today. you will say that sexism and misogyny is widespread across society but they have been allowed to thrive in the corridors of power here in westminster. he will say that there must be a turning point and any mps and involved must be held to account. and women must be able to

come forward if they are victims of harassment or shacks —— sexual abuse. these reports come from the newspapers yesterday where palminteri researchers have been using whatsapp to share stories with each other about experiences they have had here in west mr. i should say there have been no formal complaints made or mps name. the downing street says they will take any reports of sexual harassment extremely seriously. thank you. the first charges have been filed in the investigation into alleged meddling by russia in last year's american presidential election, according to the us broadcaster, cnn. a former head of the fbi, robert mueller, is leading the inquiry. it hasn't been revealed who has been charged, but us media claim at least one person will be taken in to custody on monday. the prime minister, theresa may, called on all companies to reveal the difference between what they pay male and female staff saying "sustained action" was needed

to tackle the gender pay gap. companies with more than 250 employees have to publish pay data from april next year. now, mrs may is urging smaller firms to do the same. the latest figures show on average men are paid almost a fifth more than women. england could round off a year of success for its junior sides by winning the fifa under 17's world cup this afternoon. england face spain in the final which is being held in kolkata in india. rahul tandon is inside the salt lake stadium for us this morning. is brilliant to see england in the final. it is such a big day, not just for england, but for india as well. this is the biggest match they have held, i feel like

well. this is the biggest match they have held, ifeel like going out and having a kick myself! the england players will have the last—minute ideas against tactics, with a spanish side that beat them earlier this year on penalties. let's hope it doesn't go there today. but it could be a day where they write their names in history. could he become the highest scorer in under 17 football. if he does, could we see him playing in the liverpool tea m see him playing in the liverpool team ina see him playing in the liverpool team in a few years' time? so many questions to be answered. the english team have to go into this match as favourites. they dismantled the brazilian side here on wednesday 3-1, the brazilian side here on wednesday 3—1, so they will be full of confidence. they will have huge support here because everyone loves the premier league. forget other matches today, turn on to the bbc later on and watch the biggest football match in the world! we hope for a dismantling! coverage of the final begins on bbc two at 3:20pm. it isa

it is a busy day! we have an extra hourfor it all, it is a busy day! we have an extra hour for it all, because the clocks go back. louise is over the moon about it! oh dear. over the years, the oval office in the white house has played host to a number of high profile dignitaries from around the world. yesterday, president trump's guests were not only young but also a little spooky. halloween came early to washington when the children of the white house press core gathered round the commander—in—chief. along with witches, princesses, gouls there was a batman, a darth vader and a princes leia. and there is president trump who was not wearing a costume! mr trump who has what could be considered a love hate relationship with the media joked that he couldn't believe "the media produced such beautiful children".

i quite like that comment, maybe smooths the relationship. i quite like that comment, maybe smooths the relationshipm i quite like that comment, maybe smooths the relationship. it is nice to have a bit of banter. the family of a young man with learning disabilities say they've been denied justice after what they describe as multiple failings with the care system that was designed to protect their son. ben, who's 26 and has severe autism, was punched in the face by a nurse at his care home, but a tribunal found the nurse acted in self defence. brea kfast‘s jayne mccubbin went to meet his family. her report contains some details you mind find upsetting. every mother holds their baby and says i'm not going to let anything happen to you. every mother. i failed. i can't protect my son, i can't protect my son in this society. claire tells me ben's autism

was manageable when he was very little but when this behaviour became increasingly challenging and he had to receive specialist care it was first in winterbourne view then an atlas care home, both names now synonymous with brutal, cruel regimes. this is where the teeth were... the x—ray shows the damage inflicted by a nurse at winterbourne view. dental reports show ben's jaw was fractured, two teeth knocked out. at a nursing and midwifery council hearing last week a nurse categorically denied punching ben. the panel ruled that he had. but he had acted in self defence after ben had bitten him. there was no misconduct. you know, an injury that was described to us as something that would normally be seen in a car accident. why doesn't it matter? because it doesn't seem to matter. it's all one sided.

there's only one voice here. ben hasn't got the voice he needs. after winterbourne, ben moved into what looked like an idyllic home in devon for a fresh start, but inside he and others spent hours locked in seclusion rooms, no furniture, no toilet, no food, no heat, punishment for minor infringements. a number of staff and managers were convicted earlier this year. but on thursday, paul hewitt, the man who the jury accepted as being at the very top of the company, went to the court of appeal. he had been convicted on health and safety breaches. the very first time a manager had been convicted of running a business that was institutionally abusive, but his barrister argued the judge had failed to properly direct the jury to prove that not only was here in charge but he knew what was happening. his conviction was overturned on a point of law. it makes you feel like the whole thing was a joke, people like my son are deemed worthless in society and i feel that they've been betrayed. two leading disability charities have complained to the nmc,

to the professional standards committee and to the solicitor general. it feels as though people with learning difficulties are significantly let down by the system in a whole range of ways, so they're let down in terms of the support and care that we provide for them. when that goes wrong, it still feels as though there's no justice. do you have anything to say today to the families involved? paul hewitt may now face a retrial. in court, police officers who led the case told me they were heartbroken. how is he doing now, how is ben doing? he has a dog, he has his own house... today ben is living happy with support in the community, a significant piece of information that was not allowed to be shared at the atlas trials. he proves every single day that it's possible. itjust should have been possible from the start. and jayne is here with us now.

we heard at the end of that report that ben is doing much better now. what's been the reaction to his story? do. . said: isa do. . said: is a great stress to the patient and the family, and after consideration it did not amount to misconduct. they did get in touch with the professional standards authority who had the power to appeal against this. they added that it is right that the psa considered this case very carefully. the psa telescope they will make a decision oi'i telescope they will make a decision on whether or not to challenge this in early december. the government used to collect information on a numberof used to collect information on a number of assaults in places like windborne view, they did that and publish this information in 2013,

2014, 200014. then they stopped. mencap one to start publishing it again. in terms of broad government policy in england, the emphasis since winter pawn view has been on homes not hospitals. progress is going very slowly and the numbers have not budged stopped just over 3000 people are locked up in places like that. we saw in the report that ben is doing so much better now and thatis ben is doing so much better now and that is why this is so important. thank you. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. she was just running into she wasjust running into position! i wish you could have seen that.

i was working hard and fixing a spelling mistake actually! scotland is cloudy cold and damp and it will stay like that all day and with gale force winds as well. but it is a different story in gloucestershire, we have some sunshine around this morning. there is a real north and south divide. a lot of code in the north, clear skies to the south due to this high pressure. but underneath the cloud will be like patchy rain and you can see the isobars on the chart up in the north, which denotes windy conditions. gale force conditions along west coast. there will be drizzly and nuisance rain throughout the day. a little bit more shelter into eastern scotland with someone. that will be the story all day really. northern ireland and tony ——

northern england, wet and windy. certainly there will be lighter winds in the south and a bit more pleasa nt winds in the south and a bit more pleasant here. because we go through the england b cloud and wind and nuisance rain sinks south. there will be some murky conditions, but behind some clear skies. double digits in england and wales but a chilly start for scotland, the reason being is that the wind is changing direction yet again. that isa changing direction yet again. that is a theme over weather in the next few days. lighter winds, is a theme over weather in the next few days. lighterwinds, but is a theme over weather in the next few days. lighter winds, but they might drive in a few showers unexposed east coasts and 12 into the south—west. but we keep double digits here, but a colderfeel, happen to the far north. the high pressure will stay with this and the winds would continue to fall light. at this time of year this means only one thing really, through the night the temperatures will fall away

really sharply. the towns and city centres have a chilly start, imrul spots it can bejust centres have a chilly start, imrul spots it can be just below freezing in places and could be the first widespread frost across the country on the first thing on monday morning. light winds and lots of sunshine again, but yet again the winds of change in direction, this timea winds of change in direction, this time a south—westerly and by the end of the day it will introduce milder bit cloudier and wetter conditions. before i go, don't forget that we put the clocks back through the night to night so we all get an extra hour in bed. that has been pleasing us greatly here on the brea kfast pleasing us greatly here on the breakfast set! it doesn't count u nless breakfast set! it doesn't count unless you do the dance as well!|j have unless you do the dance as well!” have been trying, this don't get me into strictly, will it? but i have been excited about that extra hour. thank you. we're on bbc one until ten o'clock this morning, when matt tebbutt takes over in the saturday kitchen.

we had pumpkin carving, will yours beat ours? i conceived the poppies, there is a difference and is that a senior thing? a special guest today is rebecca, what is your idea of heaven? heaven is lives. just one giant olive for me. i love tuna and vegetables. so mediterranean? what about hell? i get slightly bored with goat 's cheese, it is a vegetarian substitute that everything! we will see what they vote for later. we have two great

chefs as well. what will you be cooking? pan-fried mullet with cabbage. and you will be using these, because of defence?!” cabbage. and you will be using these, because of defence?! i can't tell you! we also have peter gordon, well you be cooking?” tell you! we also have peter gordon, well you be cooking? i will be doing pumpkin coconut curry. and you have your special kit to as well. slightly threatening. we will have heaven and hell at the end of the show, go to the website for details. have you put in request in for a bigger poppy? it is how you wear red, not the size! that is always his excuse. this is turned into a whole other programme! since catalonia's government voted to declare independence, the big

question is "what happens next?" it comes just a few weeks after people in the region voted in a referendum, which the spanish government ruled was illegal. less than half of voters turned out to vote, but of those who took part 90% were in favour of breaking away from spain. like germany and france the uk government says it will not formally recognise an independent catalonia. so what does this mean for the region and it's people? here to help guide us through is andrew dowling from the university of cardiff. good morning. looking at this and how it has escalated, is this where we should be at the moment in terms of what madrid and the government has done by declaring we are in charge now? looking back to june and july, things have panned out more or less how i expected them to. the only thing i didn't anticipate really was the incredible police

violence on the 1st of october 2017, there was the only element i didn't factor in. i knew they were trying to hold a referendum and they would try and stop it but i didn't know how that would manifest. subsequently the catalans would feel legitimised. what i find interesting is if this referendum was taking place, the people who turned up, only half of the population of catalonia turned up. the majority voted to leave, would it not have made more sense to do this...?m was interesting that there was a poll this year that said 49% of catalans were opposed and 42% in favour. if you have a referendum it would have been highly probable that they voted to stay, dislike what

eventually happened with the scottish referendum. that would been the best solution. in one sense, it is too late to have that kind of referendum, because of the events of the 1st of october which are really change the dynamic. those who support independent will feel that it isa support independent will feel that it is a betrayal to go back now after those incredible scenes of police violence stopping a referendum happening. the thing i find hardest to get my head around, is who in the end has the final say? it feels like we hear catalans saying we are definitely independent, and then madrid saint no. because back forth, what will happen next? the most likely thing to the next few weeks and months will be what we call parallel reality. many catalans will obey their leaders, but other catalans will obey the new spanish authorities. we will be in a strange scenario where there are two parallel administrations. scenario where there are two paralleladministrations. i scenario where there are two parallel administrations. i think madrid will able to win out. it

can... impose the new elections. the problem for supporters of catalan independence is whether to participate in these elections? if they don't participate there is a new government and they haven't involved in its creation. if they... this is being a canny decision on the part of madrid. this will keep this up easy for a while. thank you for your time. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, it's time now for a look at the newspapers. professor of entrepreneurship, vikas shah, is here to tell us what's caught his eye. let's dive straight in. the daily

express, it is controversial perhaps. aid does more harm than good? the assertion here from an mep is that aid does more harm than good and it is really pivoting on those key factors that people always say. first of all, that aid projects fail, the second of all they pay corruption, and said they actually keep keep bad people in power. these have been debunked time and again in academicjournals. in have been debunked time and again in academic journals. in our work, have been debunked time and again in academicjournals. in ourwork, aid plays a really crucial role in stabilising countries. with your work with ngos around the world, you can understand the scepticism around how money is distributed and used effectively? yes, i think of any kind of work, whether venture philanthropy or international aid work, we have to constantly ask questions around how that money is deployed. the partners that are chosen. but overall, aid hasn't used

by half the number of deaths since 2005 of hiv aids and malaria and many other conditions and has really helped countries come out of poverty with hundreds of millions of people being lifted out of poverty as a result of that. people who can afford to give aid are billionaires and this next story, it is about who has made it onto the rich list and who has taken over who? there is consta nt who has taken over who? there is constant competition between the founder of amazon and bill gates about who is the richest. i don't think the two of them will be too bothered, but the fascinating part is that is on was founded in 1994, —— amazon. if you take a snapshot of who are the richest people in the world and which are the wealthiest companies in the world, the vast majority of them are those

technology titans who have made incredible wealth in a very short space of time. they are pretty much associated with their countries, you hear those names and you think of those companies. uber doesn't really have that advantage at the moment. it has difficult times shall we say. transport for london has banned it, and they are trying to change that. other cities could follow suit so it gets a new boss? uber faces the challenge that many technology companies do. they believe that they will go in and disrupt the world and ask questions later. the challenge is that as these companies grow up they need to go through that process of legitimising their work and governance. and become part of the towns and regions in which they operate, and uber has found that out ina very operate, and uber has found that out in a very hard way. it has battles

in london and many other parts of the world in terms of regulation. it's own internal governance and approach to gender disparities, uber is not alone. the vast majority of tech companies have to grow up at some stage. that is the thing with disruptors, there some stage. that is the thing with disru ptors, there is some stage. that is the thing with disruptors, there is an element when you think they reach a peak and can't be disru ptors you think they reach a peak and can't be disruptors any more because they have to legalise themselves. and now you have a boss that has been a senior adviser at marks & spencer ‘s bank, a woman that is 60 yea rs old spencer ‘s bank, a woman that is 60 years old with a wealth of business its periods, and hopefully offer perhaps a more acceptable and regulated experience. very successful companies that have grown well did that exacts same thing and brought in the right governments to help them be run well. this is a futuristic city in saudi arabia? the

34—year—old prince has announced that he will create this new city called numar. a 10,000 square mile in the desert. often this is associated with science fiction! that this is real. we are now at a stage with the internet of things and hydroponic technologies and so many other ways in which we can run cities, we can build things like this and create these incredible megacities. for saudi arabia it is incredible of course, before more established cities elsewhere in the world, we will have to start asking questions about how we can adapt our cities using the technologies of pioneering cities. the interesting thing is that it is notjust the buildings, that the robots that a running it. the public services will be run robots. the food will be grown in hydroponics in big

skyscrapers. this is a crazy thing, they are pumping in $500 billion of their own money to cede the project. believe me, with that kind of determination and that kind of money, we will almost certainly see that cities sprouting out of the desert. interesting, buti that cities sprouting out of the desert. interesting, but i like it here! on this over the needs a good clea n here! on this over the needs a good clean and recover! hello, this is breakfast with steph mcgovern and naga munchetty. a summary of this morning's main news. there have been a number of astronomical events to witness

it's been a night of both celebration and protest in barcelona, after the catalan parliament voted to declare independence from spain. the spanish government furiously retaliated, sacking catalonia's president and his entire cabinet and taking the region back under central control. prime minister mariano rajoy said his country could not stand by while part of its territory was stolen. nine service personnel on a nuclear submarine have been discharged from the royal navy, after testing positive for drugs. the ministry of defence confirmed the dismissals from hms vigilant, one of four submarines that carry the trident nuclear deterrent. according to the daily mail, the men are alleged to have taken cocaine during parties while the submarine was docked in the united states. a royal navy spokesperson said it does not tolerate drugs misuse. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, will use a speech today to warn that a "warped and degrading culture" which tolerates abuse of women is thriving at westminster.

his comments, at a conference of the unite union at aviemore, will follow newspaper allegations of inappropriate conduct by unnamed mps. our political correspondent ellie pricejoins us from our political correspondent ellie price joins us from westminster now. it is interesting that these issues are being addressed by the leaders of the parties, considering what we've been hearing about people in hollywood recently? jeremy corbyn's point is that misogyny and sexism is widespread across society but it has been allowed to thrive here at westminster. i think his point also is that women's worries need to be taken seriously, is that women's worries need to be ta ken seriously, about is that women's worries need to be taken seriously, about sexual harassment. he was talking about maybe rules need to be changed to make that easier. also there have been some comments made by the environment secretary, michael gove,

this morning on radio 4. he made a bit of a joke which hasn't gone down terribly well on twitter. he likened a political interview to being a bit like going into harvey weinstein's bedroom — you just pray that you will emerge with your dignity intact, he said. now, that's not all down especially well. downing street is making the point that there haven't been any allegations formally made, but it is taking the allegations seriously. so, i suspect questions to be answered this morning. indeed, i expect there will be! the first charges have been filed in the investigation into alleged meddling by russia in last year's american presidential election, according to the us broadcaster cnn. a former head of the fbi, robert mueller, is leading the inquiry. it hasn't been revealed who has been charged, but us media claim at least one person will be taken in to custody on monday.

british overseas territories damaged by hurricanes could get access to official foreign aid in the future, under plans being considered by the world's richest nations. there was controversy last month when it emerged that some caribbean islands hit by hurricane irma were considered too rich to receive overseas help. but new rules from the organisation for economic cooperation and development would allow countries to requalify for aid if they suffer long term damage. residents of seaford in east sussex were told to stay inside last night and keep their doors and windows shut because of a noxious odour. emergency services said they were investigating complaints of a smell that was described as being like burning plastic. some people complained of stinging eyes and feeling sick. the incident happened close to a beach that was hit by a toxic haze in august, although sussex police says it doesn't believe the two events are linked. the prime minister, theresa may,

has called on all companies to reveal the difference between what they pay male and female staff, saying "sustained action" was needed to tackle the gender pay gap. companies with more than 250 employees have to publish pay data from april next year. now, ms may is urging smaller firms to do the same. the latest figures show that on average, men are paid almost a fifth more than women. it's a big night for the moon tonight, isn't it? there have been a number of astronomical events to witness around the world in recent months, from meteor showers to solar eclipses — but tonight, nasa is encouraging everyone to look at something that is in our skies every night, the moon. it's not going to be particularly different tonight. i don't know, it might have heard about its big moment! come on, yet the glad rags on! it is international observe the

moon night, or it will be tonight, a celebration of lunar science and exploration. there are events taking place around the globe, and we're asking you to send in pictures of the moon you take tonight so that we can see them tomorrow. and the good news is, because the clocks go back tonight you will get an extra hour as well! and there's the crab's claw to look out for as well! do you spend time looking at the moon?” will tonight, it's the moon dancer! are those the words of the song dowie i think so, or is it marvellous night... ? i'm dowie i think so, or is it marvellous night...? i'm sure i'll be corrected! a big occasion in india to look out for tonight as well, that's a bit of a spectacular

sight back as well, isn't it? england u17s against spain in the world cup final, potentially the second world cup win for england in the space of a year, following on from the u20s, who won their world cup injune. from the u20s, who won their world cup in june. also from the u20s, who won their world cup injune. also the u19s won their championship. the match will be the biggest of their young lives, with more than 66,000 expected to be in the stands in the indian city of kolkata. but this england team have shown they can handle pressure. striker rhian brewster has been their star, scoring seven goals in the tournament so far, including a hat—trick in the semifinal against brazil, as well as one in the quarterfinal. we believe in ourselves, it's more like adrenaline before the game, i wouldn't class it as nerves. we are a confident team and confident in our style of play. you can see the final, live on bbc two at 3.30. meawhile, in the premier league, second—place manchester united take

on tottenham, who are only behind them on goal difference. spurs have won four in a row in the league, but will be without the injured harry kane, who has scored 17 times this season for club and country. kane has a minor hamstring strain so isn't being risked. there are two big lunchtime games today in scotland. rangers play their first game since manager pedro caixhina was sacked. graeme murty takes charge today for the match at hearts. and striker and club vice—captain kenny miller will also be involved in the decision making. sheffield united have gone top of the championship — at least for this morning — after they beat yorkshire rivals leeds 2—1, in front of 34,000 at elland road. substitute david brooks, who is only 20, got the winner they deserved in the last ten minutes. and the blades, whose entire squad is made up of british and irish players, are one point clear of wolves, who play qpr this afternoon. lewis hamilton is aiming to become world champion for a fourth time at the mexican grand prix this weekend. if he finishes fifth or better on sunday, the title is his, no matter what happens to his closest rival sebastian vettel.

red bull's daniel ricciardo went faster than hamilton in a closely—contested second practice last night. vettel was fourth fastest, as the ferrari driver clings to his fading title hopes. it will take a major calamity from hamilton for him to surrender the crown, and on the evidence in the second half of the season, it seems very unlikely. cardiff's principality stadium is used to staging huge events, whether it be rugby union, football or speedway, but tonight's big fight, featuring anthonyjoshua, is the fastest—selling event ever there, after his stunning win over vladamir klitschko in april. tonight, he will defend his two world heavyweight titles in front of over 70,000 people. let's build up to this one in the best way possible, by speaking to boxing journalist steve bunce, whojoins us now from our london newsroom. morning, buncey. how are you? never been better, it's a big fight, 70,000—odd people, you said it all! there's plenty more you can say! this late change of

opponent, will that affect it? absolutely, you're fighting a big quy absolutely, you're fighting a big guy and suddenly you switch to a guy who they are claiming is 6ft one but i think there is something going on, i think there is something going on, i think he's a lot shorter, takam, and he fights very short and that poses unique problems for young joshua, who will have to be firing down the whole time and watching shots coming from the blindside from very, very low, which can cause some tricky problems. that's fascinating. but do you see anyway thatjoshua will lose his belts tonight?” but do you see anyway thatjoshua will lose his belts tonight? i don't see any way that he will lose these belts, and it's not a mismatch, but it's the boxing business, remember, and occasionally some sport breaks out of! it's going to be very lively, very aggressive and it might bea

lively, very aggressive and it might be a little bit ugly early on as joshua imposes his bulk on the shorter frenchman, who by the way, is square! i have never seen a human being like him! joshua himself says long—term he's trying to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow by becoming the first man to hold all four heavyweight world titles — do you think he can do it and how soon, buncey? he can definitely do it, he can beatjoseph parker from definitely do it, he can beatjoseph parkerfrom new definitely do it, he can beatjoseph parker from new zealand and definitely do it, he can beatjoseph parkerfrom new zealand and he definitely do it, he can beatjoseph parker from new zealand and he can also be the american. the problem in boxing, it has been this way for 120 yea rs, boxing, it has been this way for 120 years, almost as long as i've been covering it, it's the politics involved. it's hard to get the different groups to the table. i think it can be done and i don't think it can be done and i don't think it can be done and i don't think it will be next year, i think it will be in may 2019, and before then, we'll have four outdoor fights with 70,000 people. talking of which, joe cole sidey spoke about what it's like under the roof in cardiff — how special is that

real me55y story to try and tell succinctly, but i'll give it a go! the south, 5till succinctly, but i'll give it a go! the south, still under the influence of high pressure, so here we will keep some sunnier weather. but the westerly wind is always driving in more cloud along west facing coasts, and that's the most important thing to remember. it will also bring some poor visibility. eastern scotland, i5 poor visibility. eastern scotland, is of the pennines, in some 5heltered areas you might get some 5un5hine. we could have gu5t5 of wind in excess of 50mph acro55 5un5hine. we could have gu5t5 of wind in excess of 50mph across the pennines — worth bearing in mind if you're doing some walking. all the time acro55 you're doing some walking. all the time across the south—west into wale5, a ethel more cloud. —— a little more cloud. this evening you can see how the winds are starting to come in from the north bringing a

different feel to the weather. to the north it's a chilly start tomorrow morning. the winds will fall like about it is colder, the aircoming all the fall like about it is colder, the air coming all the way from the arctic. some 5un5hine coming through, a scattering of arctic. some sunshine coming through, a scattering of showers running down the ease to coast. the highest temperatures in the south—west once the cloud breaks up. the high pressure stays with us as we go through the evening. at this time of the year, that means with clear skies overnight, temperatures will be falling away quite sharply. gardeners and growers, in rural spots it could bejust gardeners and growers, in rural spots it could be just below freezing and it could be our first widespread frost of the autumn. but not for long — yet again the wind direction changes, this time to

south—westerly, which will start to feed in milderair south—westerly, which will start to feed in milder air but loud and rain, unfortunately. and don't forget we all get an extra hour in bed, so make sure you change the clocks before you go to sleep. but then you think you're in bed too early! i don't care! dancing like no—one else is watching! early! i don't care! dancing like no-one else is watching! keep at it! five years ago, jennifer brea was happily working on her phd and was months away from marrying the love of her life. then, she suddenly fell ill and began to experience symptoms that often left her bedbound and in excrutiating pain. jennifer was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, or me. frustrated by a lack of understanding among the doctors she saw, jennifer decided to film herself and other people with the condition for a documentary she called unrest.

i don't think i can get up off the crouch. if you say too little, they can't help you and if you say too much... the dr told me, you'rejust dehydrated, everyone gets stressed. and i went online and found thousands of other people just like me. i'm completely bedridden... it's like i'm just watching my life disappear... chronic fatigue. .. historically you can see on this is very similarto historically you can see on this is very similar to this called many different things. it's going to pass.. different things. it's going to pass. .. chronic fatigue syndrome!

yeah, i'm tired, too? we're joined now by filmmaker jennifer brea, and by dr charles shepherd, a medical adviser to the me association, who contributed to the film. jennifer, you look amazing, how are you actually feeling at the moment, seeing the footage, it's really shocking? it's still really up and down, iam really lucky shocking? it's still really up and down, i am really lucky to no longer be bedridden but i still have days when i can be stuck in bed. you're sitting like that because it is comfortable? yeah, a lot of the ball with m he have a condition where the blood basically stays in your feet which is why i am sitting like that. you've been involved with the making of this film — why was it so necessary to document and we well, i think the film in particular is so important, because it's raising awareness firstly of the condition. i'm sure you've heard of me but many

people might be not quite sure what it is, and i think the most important part of this particular film is that it's raising awareness not just amongst the population, film is that it's raising awareness notjust amongst the population, but also amongst the medical profession. 2596 also amongst the medical profession. 25% of people with this illness have the severe form which keeps them bedbound and housebound, and these people are severely neglected, they're isolated people are severely neglected, they‘ re isolated and people are severely neglected, they're isolated and they're not in touch with the medical profession, they've just lost touch with doctors. we are not managing people in that group effectively at all. and jennifer, you met a lot of people when making the film. when you got ill to begin with, you started filming it — why did you do that? was it just started filming it — why did you do that? was itjust for your own reasons or did you want to make something out of it? i think at the beginning it was because i didn't know what i had. and when i was going in to see a doctor it was

because i was well enough to go in. and so i think there is a lot of disbelief about this illness, a lot of misunderstanding. there is something called creative exercise which can actually make many patients worse. i thought it was important for medics and for the public to bring people into the experience of what it is to live in your bedroom. isn't part of the problem that this is so difficult to diagnose? you cover this in your film, looking at the history of medicine in terms of how people who have had chronic fatigue symptoms, me, however it has been interpreted, and people dismiss it as, you get tired, i get tired, too? we have to dismiss this idea that this is tired all the time — dismiss this idea that this is tired allthe time — it's dismiss this idea that this is tired all the time — it's not. dismiss this idea that this is tired allthe time — it's not. it dismiss this idea that this is tired all the time — it's not. it is actually quite easy to diagnose in most cases. most people will be fit young adults, children and teenagers

as well, they will say i was fit and well, i got an infection, i didn't re cover well, i got an infection, i didn't recover from it. i kept feeling unwell, flu—like, really grotty and i had these very characteristic muscle fatigue problems, carbons with brain function, the nervous syste m with brain function, the nervous system not working properly like jennifer talked about. losing your balance and coordination. not being able to have normal functioning and concentration. and that complex of symptoms following a viral infection in someone who has been previously well should alert the doctor.” think the film really shows that really clearly. we could talk a lot longer about this, but if people wa nt to longer about this, but if people want to find more about it, jennifer's film is available to strea m jennifer's film is available to stream online next week. that's it from us. have a good day. this is bbc news. the headlines at 10am.
