wind moves... #. also this morning, we'll speak to katie melua about why she's chosen to sing one of sir terry wogan‘s favourite songs for this year's children in need. it is bonfire weekend. what will the weather be like? matt can tell us. things will get drier, brighter, and cold to the day. full forecast is coming up. see you in 15 minutes. —— through the day. good morning. first, our main story. the conservative mp charlie elphicke has been suspended by the party after it said "serious allegations" had been passed to the police. the party didn't give any details about what the allegations are, or who had made them. mr elphicke, a member of the commons treasury select committee, said the media had been told of his suspension first, and he wasn't aware of the nature of the claims. here's more from our political correspondent, emma va rdy. new allegations are emerging

ever more frequently. this is charlie elphicke, the conservative mp for dover since 2010, who wakes up this morning no longer a tory mp — at least for now. and that is because last night the man in charge of discipline amongst conservative mps, the new chief whipjulian smith, issued a statement... charlie elphicke‘s anger about how he's been treated was clear. he tweeted: he added: meanwhile, the labour mp clive lewis has strongly denied an allegation of impropriety at the labour party conference in september. i don't, as a rule, at packed labour party conferences, grope people's bottoms when i greet them. it's just not how i roll — it's not what i do. labour is also under pressure over

mp kelvin hopkins, who was suspended on thursday following allegations of misconduct towards a young labour activist. and jeremy corbyn is facing questions over why mr hopkins was previously promoted to the shadow cabinet even after this came to light. mr hopkins says he denies the allegations. and the former labour cabinet minister ivan lewis has apologised for making some female colleagues uncomfortable, but said he never made any nonconsensual advances towards women. this is a place gripped by a collective trepidation about what might come next. individuals fearful for their own reputations — others fearful for the very reputation of politics itself. let's get the very latest from emma now — she joins us from westminster.

where does this stop? when does it stop? that must be what people there are asking all the time now. absolutely, and i expect that is exactly what party officials will be waiting for the day. where might the next scandal come from ? waiting for the day. where might the next scandal come from? who might be next scandal come from? who might be next to be suspended or to resign? you get the feeling the parties are struggling to keep pace with this. so quickly the allegations were starting to mount up this week, and it really did gather pace last night with charlie elphicke the most serious of those allegations, we are told, and the party saying those have now been taken to police. it is fairto have now been taken to police. it is fair to say that many people accused have been strenuously denying the claims against them. we heard sir roger gale, an mp for three decades, speaking on the today programme saying we need to put the brakes on and treat mps as innocent until proven guilty. what either party is doing about this? there will be a cross— party doing about this? there will be a cross—party meeting on monday to

look at setting up an independent grievance procedure, and the conservatives have published a new code of conduct, something this morning that has been welcomed by the chair of the committee for standards in public life. the lord has welcomed the idea there will be new independent expert oversight of grievances, so it isn'tjust party officials investigating other party members. and the lord said that crucially the public must feel reassured that this is notjust another cover—up, but as you say there are questions. how much further has this got to run? the questions over sexual misconduct in this place are not going away any time soon. emma, for now, thank you very much indeed. naga will be speaking to someone who with hr issues like this in other companies, on how to deal with that. a spanishjudge has issued european arrest warrants

for the sacked catalan leader carles puigdemont and four of his allies who went to belgium. the five failed to attend a high court hearing in madrid on thursday, when nine other ex—members of the regional government were taken into custody. mr puigdemont has said he will not return to spain unless he receives guarantees of a fair trial. in washington the white house has attempted to downplay the findings of a report which goes against the trump administration's view on climate change. the study, compiled by us government scientists said it was "extremely likely" — with 95 to 100% certainty — that global warming is man—made, mostly from carbon dioxide through the burning of coal, oil and natural gas. netflix has cut all ties with kevin spacey, who plays the lead role in one of its most successful programmes, house of cards. the company said it would no longer be involved in the series if the actor continued to be part of it, following allegations of sexual misconduct. it comes as police in new york say they now have a viable case against the hollywood producer harvey weinstein, facing rape

allegations, which he has denied. ben ando has the latest. from awards and honours, to accusations and cancellations. the influential tv company netflix says it will all longer work with director kevin spacey, as allegations against him mount up. a number of men have said the oscar—winning actor assaulted them. one claimed he was attacked while mr spacey was working at the old vic theatre, a claim which is now being investigated by the police. netflix has also said an already completed film about the writer gore vidal produced by kevin spacey will not be released. it comes as detectives in new york confirmed that they may be about to arrest the film producer harvey weinstein on suspicion of rape. this may be the most serious of the torrent of accusations made so far. police say the woman they've spoken to has given a detailed and credible account of how the producer attacked twice in 2010. we have an actual case here. so we are happy with where the investigation is right now.

mr weinstein is out—of—state. we would need an arrest warrant to arrest him, so right now we are gathering our evidence. we continue to do so, every day. harvey weinstein‘s accusers include household names like gwyneth paltrow and angelina jolie. he's issued a statement denying emphatically any suggestion of nonconsensual sex, but each day sees new accusations, and police investigations now on both sides of the atlantic into the allegedly corrupt behaviour of some of show business's most powerful men. ben ando, bbc news. us president donald trump kicks off an 11—day trip to asia this weekend, taking in south korea, japan and china. it will be the longest tour of asia by a us president in 25 years. before setting out he visited hawaii's pearl harbor to see a us battleship sunk by japanese bombers in the second world war, and received a security

briefing from the us pacific command on issues including north korea's nuclear programme. here, only around a half of fixed speed cameras in the uk are actually switched on, according to figures obtained through a freedom of information request. the data reveals at least four police forces don't have any fixed speed cameras at all. it was fit for the king of rock—n—roll, but how do you think this car would look in your driveway? elvis presley's pink 1957 cadillac is up for sale at auction after 30 years in a museum. it's expected to sell for $2 million. if that isn't quite your style, whitney houston's grand piano — which was given to her by her husband bobby brown — is also going under the hammer, along with a nightgown that once belonged to jackie kennedy. it is coming up for ten past nine.

the main political parties will meet on monday to discuss how to deal with the accusations of harassment across westminster. it comes after the prime minister said there needed to be a "serious, swift, cross—party response" to the allegations. last night, she said the conservatives will force all elected officials and their staff to sign a new code of conduct. they'll also appoint an independent person to sit on all complaint review panels. labour is taking a similar approach, appointing an independent organisation to offer support to any party members affected by sexual harassment. let's speak now to the employment lawyer emma renke who joins us from birmingham. emma, what have you made about what isn't in place at westminster at the moment, or the proposals of getting some kind of code of conduct in place in light of these allegations? it is disappointing these allegations have had to come out for the government to make the changes

they have. looking at the code of conduct theresa may published yesterday, there are some great parts to that, really good, as you mentioned, naga, that there will be an independent person considering these types of grievances. what is disappointing in it, there is no mention of sanction. that is just left down to the leader of the party, and i think that is not acting as the deterrent it could or should be as part of the policy. acting as the deterrent it could or should be as part of the policym terms of comparing westminster to, say, big businesses, and you have advised businesses on these practices, what is lacking, or what should be the same? what should automatically be general policy?” think that westminster should be doing more. it is the pinnacle of oui’ doing more. it is the pinnacle of our society, it has a higher standard to meet. i think what clearly has been lacking is a culture of openness and an avenue where people can raise these types of complaints. the measures announced yesterday and today will go some way towards it but i still think there is more work to do. do

you think westminster as a workplace operates very differently from other businesses? i think there are different employment relationships that make it complicated, but i think that standard should be the same across all types of workplaces and industries, and this behaviour is not acceptable. let's talk about relationships in terms of employment. there is not a direct one fits all scheme for how you are employed or how you work at westminster. a lot of volunteering, apprenticeships, a lot of researchers coming in on an ad hoc basis. yes, it is difficult, buti think the steps to make cross—party measures, and there has also been calls for westminster to take its own steps as well, for the speaker to do so, so i think whilst it is complicated, there are ways forward. what is the thinking, or how should management and business be thinking, and in terms of relating that two

seniorfigures of and in terms of relating that two senior figures of parties, and in terms of relating that two seniorfigures of parties, in and in terms of relating that two senior figures of parties, in terms of how younger people or people with less power or less experience should feel when they are in an environment like westminster? well, i think we have seen a snowballing effect, and safety in numbers, with a couple of allegations coming forward, then other people feeling they can raise their own complaints. what managers and organisations really need to be doing is creating that safe environment from the off so that safe environment from the off so they doesn't have to be volumes of complaints for people to feel they can come forward or report behaviours of this kind. what about victors' anonymity? how easyis what about victors' anonymity? how easy is it to be able to report your own party about something and know that your career is secure, your position is secure —— victims' anonymity? yet you still want bad behaviour shutdown? there are two matters there. anonymity is difficult because things need to be

properly investigated and these are very serious allegations, butjust because you raise a complaint you should not feel that there will be some issue with your reputation or profession moving forward. you shouldn't feel there is going to bea you shouldn't feel there is going to be a problem, so i think there is more work to be done for people to feel that, that if they raise a complaint it is not going to affect them ina complaint it is not going to affect them in a professional capacity. emma renke, thank you very much for joining us. quarter past nine on a saturday morning, and let's look out the window. 0h, saturday morning, and let's look out the window. oh, dear, still pouring down, lots of grey. tell us it is going to get better, matt. it will get better, i promise. doesn't look that way for some of you. raining very heavily at st ives in cambridgeshire, as you can see here, but let me show you the satellite

imagery. clearer air on the way, cold beer with it but much brighter conditions. chasing away the cloud across england and wales and particularly wet through the midlands, eastern england, the rain will is off through much of the western half of the midlands over the next hour or so, but while it has not been too wet for parts of suffolk, essex, kent, the rain will get heavier and thoroughly wet in that eastern corner towards lunchtime. in the west of england, wales, a few more sunny breaks developing by the end of the morning, in the lunchtime, cool breeze developing but already sunshine across much of scotland and northern ireland. but showers to the north and west which could become heavy and thundering through the day with hail as well. sleet and snow over higher ground with your getting colder. showers across the far west of england and wales but turning dry in eastern england, the exception being east anglia and kent which is holding onto a lot of cloud until the end of the afternoon. clearer skies are underway. temperatures

will peak around lunchtime then drop away with that colder air. going to any firework displays tonight? lots of showers in the north and west, eastern areas are dry and —— the driest and clearest but wherever you are you will need to wrap up against that chilly breeze. temperatures tonight will drop down well in the single figures, and parts of southern scotland and eastern england, a few degrees above freezing, and even some spots below into the start of sunday. eastern areas will have a dry and sunny start of the day, however. it will turn a little bit lighter and fewer and further between with those showers in scotland into the afternoon. so pleasant afternoon with temperatures struggling in the breeze, but sunshine to compensate. for guy fawkes night itself, fewer showers around across the country, one or two close to the north sea coast, mostly dry and clear. increasingly cold. widespread frost developing quickly across scotland and that will ease the night in the

morning, but parts of england and wales come into monday morning it will be chilly, temperatures dropping low enough for a touch of frost just about anywhere. monday morning, could be crisp and bright for starting the week, especially in wales, but some wet and windy weather arriving in scotland and northern ireland. it also looks like next week will see the weather oscillating from one day to the next, always low and on the chilly side. that is how it is looking. more in the next hour. back to naga and jon. studio: you always look so cheerful even though it is miserable outside! we appreciated, thanks, matt. it is 9:17am. if you've ever driven across the top of the m62 motorway, you will have seen a farmhouse sandwiched between the two carriageways. i used to be obsessed with this place as a child when i used to do the journey! i always used to look and think, how did this happen? why is it they are? people live their now? what's less eye—catching

is the peatland around it, which is now going to be restored in a bid to capture more carbon and water. did you ever think about the peatland? did you ever think about the peatland ? i did you ever think about the peatland? i didn't, did you ever think about the peatland? ididn‘t, naga! cathy booth reports. the m62 was built in the 1960s. it was a huge engineering challenge, thanks largely to the land. the soft wet peat claimed several industrial machines before the motorway was completed, and with the new road came an unlikely landmark — stott hall farmhouse. the 18th—century farm sits in between the east and west carriageways. i'm sure that everybody who drives on the m62 as a little smile or laugh about the position of this farmhouse, but from the air it does look even more strange there in between the two carriageways of the motorway, but what you can also see from this height, it's the miles and miles of peatland that's going to be a key to the farm's future.

the farm is owned by yorkshire water, and they've announced the beyond nature initiative to restore the peatland, allowing it to capture more carbon and retain more water. we are looking to revegetate any areas where there are peats, but also increase the sphagnum in it which acts as a sponge and holds the water within the peat. there is a story that ken wild, the lancastrian farmer who lived here in the 60s, refused to leave when the motorway was being built, but it's not true. the geology of the area made it impossible to have all six lanes together. the ground was too steep and soft, and so the farm remains. paul thorpe has worked here since the 90s, and he and his family have lived at stott hall since 2008. for him, the beyond nature initiative isjust a new name for good farming. it's all for the greater good, it's for everybody. any peat sediment that can be retained on the hill means it's not

filling up the reservoirs, which is leaving more capacity in reservoirs, and a better quality water water in reservoirs, which means they don't have to do as many treatments with it. all the water that runs off these hills is what people are drinking. and now that same soft peatland will drive the farm forward into the future. cathy booth, bbc news, on the m62. now we know! the next time you drive past you will think about the peat. so many urban myth about it, how it happened, like anywhere in the country, isn't it? we cleared it up for you. this is breakfast. we're on bbc one until ten o'clock this morning, when glynn purnell takes over in the saturday kitchen. with some rather fragrant foods. can we smell them from here? i'm glad i can't, because i'm so hungry. glynn, what's on the menu for us?

we have a guest on the middle of his comedy tour who has dropped in, it is greg davis! hello. your food heaven, what will that be?l is greg davis! hello. your food heaven, what will that be? a lovely fenugreek coria, please. not too spicy. it is all about the flavour, isn't it, not the spice? laughter if the guys vote for you, you know, what would that be? irrelevant, because they won't. oh, that camera, i'm told. liver, i despise it. impressive. cooking in the studio we have rosie burkett, mad about seasonal food and a fantastic food writer. what are we expecting? some delicious ciliary ribbons with charred chilli and garlic. fantastic. at pa, the king of pasta.

—— and sewell, the king of pasta. fantastic tagliatelle. full-bodied winter whites accompanying. fantastic tagliatelle. full-bodied winter whites accompa flyingm fantastic tagliatelle. full-bodied winter whites accompanying. it is up to the guys at home to choose between food heaven and the hotel, so go to the website for details. and we will see you at ten, goodbye, naga and jon. studio: see you at ten, glynn! you're watching breakfast from bbc news. it's 9.22. time now for a look at the newspapers. i have to say so many front pages are dealing with more westminster allegations, and we have dealt with that a lot on the programme. yes, we can step aside from that little bit. the financial journalist margaret doyle is here to tell us what's caught her eye. you have the looking at what has been happening in westminster... yes, julia hartley brewer, we know

she is the journalist who made the allegations that eventually brought down certain michael fallon. knee gate. yes, but one of the things she says, she talks about westminster and says, sure, there are sexual liaison between mps and staff, drunken nights in the bars and at party conferences, but none of that is any different to any other offices outside of sw1, which is the westminster postcode. and i'm thinking, norma, that is not what it is like in other offices around the country. i have worked in the city for a long time and it has had a bad reputation. —— i'm thinking, ball—mac. but things have changed substantially in the city in the two decades i have worked there. —— i'm thinking, no. this idiot cleaned up its act, and for a professionalfirm like ours,

it is not the culture we have not what we want —— the city has cleaned up what we want —— the city has cleaned up its act. these things are just not tolerated. but we would go beyond that and say it is not enough to say we don't tolerate sexual harassment. we would say we want a culture of respect and inclusion for everyone, men, women, people of different ages, different faiths and nationalities, and we have specific policies around that, be it training on diversity and... which is what we are now seeing being implement it in westminster. yes, but also specific support for example before people have children, for fathers and mothers, and for the managers who manage mothers were on maternity leave, so there are things you can do —— mothers who are going off on maternity leave. there are things you can do to make workplaces more welcoming, and frankly the city is already getting there. philip hammond the chancellor is being told ahead of the budget that second

homes are a problem. we have heard this before, haven't we? does it sound like you will get the market going forfirst—time sound like you will get the market going for first—time buyers and do something about this? yes, the treasury says they are looking for ideas and that was signalled by the theresa may, saying it was a priority for her. this is saying, the former adviser to george osborne when he was chancellor, saying we could curb second home ownership, buy to let in particular, and take any money we raise from that and subsidise first—time buyers and perhaps a cut to stamp duty for first—time buyers. the times in its editorial saying, they are all politically sound ideas but they don't go anywhere near far enough. saying we need to do something on the private rented sector which is now 5 million people and we need action on that. i rather agree and i think we need more security of tenure and more regulation for a sector that has really grown a lot over the past few decades. but we have heard it before. we have, and

the conservative party is typically sympathetic to home ownership but the prime ministers certainly seems to have woken up and realise there are millions of renters, we are not going to increase home ownership overnight, therefore we need to do something for that private rented sector. what you make of a non—economist being in charge, you know, the most important central bank in the world? yes, the fed is the equivalent of the bank of england, and president trump announced that jay powell will take over. he is not even an economist, a lawyer by training, and other interesting thing about him, present and trumped talked about ripping up the rule book and shaking up washington, but this guy is a washington, but this guy is a washington insider. he went to princeton, georgetown, worked in the government of the first president, george bush, then made a lot of money in private equity and has now comeback in and served as a governor of the fed for five years. he is seen as the consensus candidates are we think he will do as janet yellen

has been doing, gradual increases in the rate of interest. which we are obviously seeing in the uk. yes, our first rate rise in the uk in ten yea rs. first rate rise in the uk in ten years. the fed is ahead of us, has been raising rates for a little longer, and also the question of what they will do about quantitive easing, the economist word for printing money. and you like a royal stories of the daily mail.” printing money. and you like a royal stories of the daily mail. i do! meghan markle, prince harry's girlfriend. yes, she has an older sister samantha who is apparently going to write a book called princess pushy‘s sister, and she would want an invitation to the wedding, but i would think writing a book called princess pushy‘s sister is not a way to endear yourself to your younger sister, although i am no expert. and the allegations levelled against her more seriously, we know that meghan ‘s mother is black and we hear that samantha

a p pa re ntly black and we hear that samantha apparently made lots of racist remarks about her stepmother and her half—sister, so those allegations have been denied but there has been a lot of ill feeling and i would say this book is not the way to build bridges. could be a present for the wedding! i love this, to build bridges in time for the wedding, as if it is a done deal and definitely happening. it is not a done deal but meghan markle gave an interview to vanity fair, saying we are couple, they were photographed at toronto at they were photographed at toronto at the invictus games... therefore they area the invictus games... therefore they are a couple and engaged! margaret, lovely to speak to you very much. coming up in the next half—hour... # you remember me when the west wind moves among the fields of bali #. a lot of people wrote this morning to see how moved you were just to hear this small section of the music and it is of course —— fields of

barley. it is one of sir terry wogan's favourite songs and she will be here, katie melua, to top the us and explain it all to that later. your headlines are coming up. —— to speak to us. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and jon kay. coming up before ten matt will have the weather. mike will have the sport. at almost

half past nine, this morning's main news. the conservative mp, charlie elphicke, has been suspended by the party after it said "serious allegations" had been passed to the police. the party didn't specify what the accusations were, or who had made them. mr elphicke — a member of the commons treasury select committee — said the media had been told of his suspension first, and he wasn't aware of the nature of the claims. meanwhile three labour mps have disputed complaints made about their behaviour towards women. clive lewis, kelvin hopkins and ivan lewis all deny any wrongdoing. labour has announced a raft of measures it says will make sure complaints are dealt with independently. earlier, the labour mp rupa huq called for a proper complaints procedure in parliament. there is no real structure, no overarching hr department that a member of the public could complain to. so if that is what we get out of

this it is a good thing. a light has been shone on these murky goings—on. the house of commons is an unusual workplace for an adult place of work. in this sense it needs to get into line, the big companies have a sexual harassment policy and staff handbook. those things do not for mps. police in new york say they have a viable case against the hollywood producer, harvey weinstein. the announcement came after the actress paz de la huerta claimed that mr weinstein raped her twice in 2010. she is among dozens of women who have come forward since october to accuse the 65—year—old of sexual misconduct. he has denied all allegations of non—consensual sex. netflix has cut all ties with kevin spacey, who plays the lead role in one of its most successful programmes, house of cards. the company said it would no longer be involved in the series if the actor continued to be part of it. the announcement came after mr spacey faced allegations of sexual misconduct from a number of men. a spanishjudge has issued

european arrest warrants for the sacked catalan leader carles puigdemont and four of his allies who went to belgium. the five failed to attend a high court hearing in madrid on thursday, when nine other ex—members of the regional government were taken into custody. mr puigdemont has said he will not return to spain unless he receives guarantees of a fair trial. the white house has attempted to downplay the findings of a report which goes against the trump administration's view on climate change. the study, compiled by us government scientists, said it was extremely likely — with 95 to 100% certainty — that global warming is man—made, mostly from carbon dioxide through the burning of coal, oil and natural gas. us president donald trump kicks off an 11—day trip to asia this weekend, taking in south korea, japan and china. it will be the longest tour of asia by a us president in 25 years. before setting out he visited hawaii's pearl harbor to see a us battleship sunk by japanese bombers in the second world war,

and received a security briefing from the us pacific command on issues including north korea's nuclear programme. this might surprise motorists. only around a half of fixed speed cameras in the uk are actually switched on, according to figures obtained through a freedom of information request. the data reveals at least four police forces don't have any fixed speed cameras working at all. we've all tried to impress the boss on the first day when we're in a newjob — mike, you broke your bosses arm? that was in the first week, not the

first day! i have given up hope. spare a thought for this poor pup. rockyjust wanted to do his best. he's a seven—month—old border collie, herded a whole flock of sheep into his farmer's house after a gate was left open to their pen. he took some initiative. farmer rosalyn edwards got a shock when she came in to find them all huddled up in her lounge. it's going to take a while to clean up the mess! he had onejob! he is learning. he wa nted he had onejob! he is learning. he wanted them to be warm. is that good? he wanted them to be warm. is that good ? he obviously wanted them to be warm. is that good? he obviously got them back out again, as long as he got them out again, as long as he got them out again that was fine. we love the start of the fa cup

because the non—league sides get to play, we know that if there is somebody somewhere who has a dayjob and tomorrow will be on the sports pages. you would like nantwich to do it because they are your hometown, they are in the fa cup today. for non—league teams, this is their cup final weekend, their moment in the headlines....and it sparked into life last night, but not in the way it was supposed to, as a flare burned into the artificial pitch, at the home of non—league hyde. there was to be no upset here, as league one mk dons, went ahead through aiden nesbitt, and ended up easy winners. no banana skin here. they won 4—0. there were also surprise wins for league two sides, port vale and notts county. one of the stories of the cup so far has been shaw lane association who were playing as a pub team less than a decade ago.

they're from barnsley and have been promoted five times in the past six years but will still start as big outsiders against league two mansfield. there's no pressure on us. the pressure's on mansfield. they're the football league side. we're shaw lane association, a small club in barnsley, nobody knows about us and it's the fa cup, it's the romance of the fa cup, it's all the cliches you can think of, giant killings, david versus goliath, it's everything, and it happens, you know? wolves will take some stopping in the championship it seems. they are unstoppable at the moment. their big summer spending is paying off and they're now 4 points clear at the top...roman saiss, and leo bonatini, with the goals that beat fulham, who haven't won in 4 games now. it's 5 years since wolves were last in the premier league. the former manchester united defender patrice evra has been suspended by his club, marseille, while uefa

investigate him, this was after he appeared to kick, one of his own team's supporters, in the head, on thursday night. it happened during the warm—up, for marseille's europa league game against the portuguese side — vitoria, guimaraes. evra, who's 36, could face a lengthy ban. now in rugby league. scotland have been dismantled by new zealand in their second england went into an early lead with a try by watkins, the conversion went up as england seemed to be cruising, but look at this. lebanon scored a try and it was converted so it was 6—6just scored a try and it was converted so it was 6—6 just moments ago and lebanon are right in this, they

fa ncy lebanon are right in this, they fancy this! coverage continues on bbc two right now. scotland have been dismantled by new zealand in their second rugby league world cup pool match in christchurch. they lost 74—6, with the kiwis scoring fourteen tries in a dominant performance. the result leaves scotland bottom of their group, having already lost against tonga in their opening match. now it's not been the best start to an ashes tour for england's former captain alistair cook, because he was out for a duck second ball in the warm up match against a western australia cricket association x! in perth. howeverjames vince and mark stoneman have both scored heavily, with just 18 days to go from the first ashes test. england 349—6, the first test is in brisbane late in november. england's women are also

in action down under this morning, they're taking on a cricket australia women's xi. in reply to england's score of 231, australia have moved on to 271 for 9 on the second day of their 3—day warm up match. now to one of the best tries you'll ever see. . . its glasgow warriors, in the pro 1a league.... their 8th victory on the trot, over leinster, included this. just look where nikola matawalu receives the ball...and then he sets off...bypassing the leinster defence one by one...and just as it seemed he'd scored, they are diving at thin air, and he's not selfish...a memorable try...he let nick grigg finish the job. . . .the teamwork secured a bonus point. now, here's britain's tour de france champion chris froome as you've never seen him before. from the yellow jersey of the tour de france, to another yellow number. he looks a bit like pudsey! hejust

needs the ears. maybe he could have a career in martial arts movies after he stops racing bikes. this was the pre—race entertainment ahead of the saitama criterium injapan. as you can see ninja froome is clearly not a man to be messed with after displaying his considerable skills with a throwing star. one of the bestjet one of the best jet service one of the bestjet service in britain will be taking part. at the cutting edge of a new way to walk on water, britain's number one jet surfer anya colley, who's made history this season competing in the motosurf world cup. it's a bit of a mix between surfing, wakeboarding and then anything with a throttle.

if you done biking, if you've done cars, if you've done anything and you like speed you will be good at it. you've got to lean your whole body over to get it to turn good with the speed. anya, and indeed the whole of the uk, are playing catch up in this latest motorsport. we only got involved a couple of months ago when for the first time a leg of the world cup series was hosted on these shores with 48 riders from around the world competing at wyboston in bedfordshire. the sport had originally started in the czech republic when an inventor experimented by putting a lightweight engine into a surfboard. it's since spread to all corners of the planet. until now to get across this lake on a wakeboard i'd need a boat tow me or if i was at sea on a surfboard i would need some waves, but now all the power is beneath my feet. or at first beneath my belly, because that throttle is very sensitive.

you turn by leaning your body, that seems quite straightforward. so now we're leaning, the nextjob is to go a bit faster and eventually you try and stand. you can actually go out on your own. you're not relying on having a boat and a driver and a watcher, i can actually go out and enjoy it any time i want and the beauty of the board, you can actually take it anywhere. it's like nothing else you've ever tried before. it gives you a real thrill that you're out there and a real sense of freedom. finally we're standing, i'm on my feet and we're burning along on my feet... with the boards only weighing 19kg, the top speed is over 40mph. but it feels so much faster. the engines run on biofuels, which break up in the water. a good job really when we swallowed so much of it, initially at least, although the younger beginners were far cooler. that was well awesome. the speed, the balancing, like,

you've really got to balance on it. it's kind of hard to keep your balance. but it's awesome when it's going fast. it's now hoped more people around the uk will get a chance to try and carve like anya as she targets a medal in the last leg of the world cup series this weekend off italy. good luck to them, that looks brilliant. christmas present? novemberfour but look brilliant. christmas present? november four but look what i have got! the bbc breakfast tinsel is here. we normally try to avoid talking about christmas too early here on breakfast, but this year we're breaking the rules — and we think you'll approve. because this is a good idea. we want to tell you about an idea to have a "reverse advent calendar" — the thinking behind it is that instead of you or your children having a treat a day in december, you give something.

emma bradley is championing the idea along with her daughter erin — also with us isjo curry, from the charity changing lives. emma, explain how you go about it, is this your box. this one belongs tojo but ours is similar. a group of us are using a hashtag and putting food or toiletries in a box every day to give it to local charities at the start of december that they can then pass on to families in need. like an advent calendar, every day you put something in new stuff. i saw a hair brush but it is brand—new. something in new stuff. i saw a hair brush but it is brand-new. by doing it daily, no one will really notice a big difference to their own family spending. pop a tin of food in or toiletries every day. and the kind

of people that this will help, jo? it's aimed at changing lives of people living in hostels, some have come in from domestic abuse and when you leave in a hurry you don't always have time to pack all your children's toys and you have no money to buy them christmas presents. it is just money to buy them christmas presents. it isjust about buying an extra stocking filler. we are also thinking about fathers as well, we have men in our hostels have had dramatic lives, had children, living on the street, keeping that relationship going, not having any money so relationship going, not having any money so popping toys in there so they can meet their kids and try to rebuild relationships with the kids. and practical things like razors. what would you like to put in your box at home, to go to somebody who needsit? box at home, to go to somebody who needs it? toiletries, food and toys. have seen them, what kind of ties you put in. like colouring.

colouring books. this is a telescope, that would be fun to play with. it's for older children as well, thinking about things for all ages. you mention toiletries as well. just basic... last year we put in some make—up, girls like to dress up in some make—up, girls like to dress up and those on luxury items that families in poverty might not be able to afford. you know that they received it? yes, i asked through a localfamily, i received it? yes, i asked through a local family, i did received it? yes, i asked through a localfamily, i did not know the family, but i knew what ages they we re family, but i knew what ages they were so it was important to get things that were age appropriate. were so it was important to get things that were age appropriatem many families are asking for gifts or donations around christmas, how important is it feel to know that the things you give stay locally with a family around the corner maybe. for me that is important because i am very community spirited andi because i am very community spirited and i the children to realise that although we might live in a nice

house in a nice road, other people maybe don't, and poverty lives in all roads even though it might not be visible so i want our children to understand who lives in our community. practical matters, you put together a box, but there are things you might not think about like wrapping paper. we are asking you to put together a box of 25 items and if you live in the north or the midlands you can drop it off at one of our changing lives projects. if you don't ban certain other charities would welcome this initiative. wrapping paper, sellotape, because you need to see what is in the box before you it. normally i put a note on saying this is suitable for a teenage boy, something like that. you don't want jumble. not as christmas presents, we are seeing, use your common sense, probably not candy cigarettes

or alcohol! it sounds a brilliant idea. i guess it is online as well? on the changing lives website. have you talked to your friends at school about this? no. they might be quite interested in this. they might get ideas of what to do. what do you like about it? i like about it that everybody can have like food and happy lives. i guess the things that are in their make a difference, they make people smile. do you get another advent calendar as well? you won't know until december! too early! thank you much indeed. thank you for coming in. it's 12 minutes to ten. time to check on the weather with matt again before bonfire night. we've been showing you grim

images so here's some sunshine in northern ireland, a good chance to say happy anniversary to all the weather watchers, it is our second anniversary of your helping us to tell the weather story on the show. this picture only tells part of the story. for some of you it has been a thoroughly wet start to the day. cooler air is coming but this cloud has dominated so far. it brings heavy rain across parts of england, by the time we get to this afternoon this will be confined to easternmost counties, easing away from east anglia by the end of the afternoon. anglia by the end of the afternoon. a scattering of showers in the west, some becoming heavy with hail and thunder, but the further west we come, the lower the temperatures are and there could be a bit of snow over the scottish mountains. but of course, being saturday night,

bonfire night tomorrow, waterproof, eastern scotland stand through eastern scotland stand through eastern england, mostly dry, just an isolated chance the shower, but quite a few showers to take into the evening across the south west and wales until the wind was picking up, so showers in the west this evening, some will continue, some a little heavy, into the second half of the night and the first off on sunday morning this should clear and temperatures will drop markedly, down to single figures widely across the uk, maybe frost across south—east scotland and parts of eastern england. some showers may be to the east in the morning, show was most likely in northern scotland, northern ireland wales and west of england, and these should use of in intensity and number in the

afternoon and tomorrow afternoon might be chilly but it will be a pleasa nt might be chilly but it will be a pleasant autumn afternoon with sunshine. share was into the evening across eastern counties, the odd one in the west, if you are doing bonfire celebrations it looks like many will be dry. that will ease off as we go into the latter half of the night, the chance of a frost to take us into monday morning but many on monday will be dry and bright to start with, clouding over, wet and windy weather to the north and west. the forecast for tomorrow next week, from me, have a good day, back to jon and naga. have a good state, matt, enjoy your weekend. jon and naga. have a good state, matt, enjoy yourweekend. u2. when you think of children in need one person in particular usually springs to mind. sir terry wogan, who fronted the appeal for so many years, and was so much a part of it, is being honoured in a special way this year.

made did not always stick the boxes because it was quite delicate but they played it all the time, they we re they played it all the time, they were instrumental. do you feel that you are where you are in your career because of his help? he took that music to a mainstream public and my life changed. he was dedicated to children in need. he presented it since 1990 meant a great deal to him so it is the least i could do. his involvement in the charity was genuine. it was integral to the

whole thing. i love hearing the stories about him. every time i met him he was very kind and gracious. and you performed at his memorial.” did. by doing this campaign i have been reminded about the breadth of work that they do, particularly how they use the arts in a lot of therapies, inspiring kids to go on and do incredible things, i went to and do incredible things, i went to a project last monday at the royal saint christopher ‘s hospital in brighton and they have musicians going in and making music and singing with children with serious illnesses. it was beautiful. they we re illnesses. it was beautiful. they were handed instruments? very

sensitively, the musicians are trained to work in the health services. there would be a room in hospital were some of the kids could come along well enough to take part in this. and they played songs like and the see and they have percussion instruments and the kids can take part. as well as children in need what have you been up to because you are busy. i released a record last year and we are busy. i released a record last yearand we are are busy. i released a record last year and we are rearranging it last year, it's a winter album, designed to be listened to in wintertime. i teamed iteamed up i teamed up with a choir at home,

for me, wintertime, christmas time, it's all about warmth and comfort and reflecting on the year that has gone past. you say that george is home, is that still the case? yes although london is my home, my family moved here when i was ten years old, we always did something every summer, i think of myself as a londoner and a georgian. you are touring with this album. i did last year and we hope to touragain

album. i did last year and we hope to tour again that this winter the focus has been this incredible campaign with children in need, with fields of gold, it is a brilliant thing to be asked to do and it is great to be asked to do it again. when in georgia the soviet union had broken down in the country was on its knees from an infrastructural point of view, music made us happy, it was instrumental. i think this song will make people happy and do you know who would have been made happiest, terry wogan, he would have been delighted. the way this country teaches kids from an early age to give and to be so generous is a beautiful thing. katie melua, thank
