hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and jon kay. examining the wreckage: the investigation continues to find out why two aircraft collided over buckinghamshire. police and air accident investigators have joined forces to try and get to the bottom of the crash which left four people dead. good morning, it's saturday the 18th of november. also this morning: pressure on the president of zimbabwe robert mugabe, as his own party calls on him to quit and people prepare to take to the streets. 90 mps say patients in the health service in england are being failed by the system as they ask the prime ministerfor a cross—party solution. one, two... a record totalfor children in need last night, as donations top £50 million for the first time.

in sport, the man who took wales to the semi finals of the euros has stepped down. chris coleman has gone to manage the championship‘s bottom side, sunderland. and mike takes a beating as he meets world champion kickboxer. and philip has the weather. good morning. a bit of everything in the weekend's forecast. the bulk of the sunshine in northern parts for saturday and more cloud in southern areas. all the details in a few minutes. 0k. see you then. first, our main story: air accident investigators are trying to work out what caused a plane and a helicopter to collide over buckinghamshire yesterday, killing four people. teams will continue scouring the area around the national trust's waddesdon estate, near aylesbury, for wreckage. ian palmer is there.

what have you been able to assess about what might have happened? well, they obviously suspended the search overnight and are yet to resume the investigation this morning. but that is what they will obviously try to establish when the light improves this morning. it's going to be very difficult because... partly because the site of the wreckage is cast over a large area and also the two light aircraft came down in a very heavily wooded area, with lots of deciduous trees. so finding the wreckage will not be easy. certainly thames valley police have said they expect to be here combing the area for at least two days. thames valley police say they've launched a joint investigation between themselves and

the air accidents investigation branch and it would be clear to assume that police detectives when they resume their work here later this morning, they will carry out the detailed search and the investigation branch will carry out and provide the technical expertise. but for people died. we don't know their age, gender or names yet, but there will be for families who will be desperately anxious to find out exactly what happened over the skies here in buckinghamshire, just after midday yesterday. thank you for that upbeat —— update. the political crisis in zimbabwe continues, with the ruling party, human rights activists and veterans all holding rallies today, to try to force robert mugabe to step down. state media have confirmed that eight out of ten regional branches of the governing zanu—pf already passed a vote of no—confidence in the president. ben brown is in zimbabwe for us.

the rallies today will take place. how is that going to look?|j the rallies today will take place. how is that going to look? i think there is already people coming out onto the streets of harare in their thousands. euphoric, we are hearing, exuberant. we believe this is a pivotal moment. coming out onto the streets, two separate rallies. one by civilians and one by veterans who fought alongside robert mugabe against white minority rule. that rally against the robert mugabe, demanding he stands down, that is endorsed by the military who had their takeover here on wednesday. time is really running out for robert mugabe. he's got very few friends left in this country. very ha rd to friends left in this country. very hard to find anyone here you talk to who wants him to stay as president. his own party are now against him, zanu—pf, the military are against him and so are the war veterans. it looks like he's got to go. it's only

a matter of time, but we are still waiting. he is still technically president of zimbabwe. even so, it's interesting, yesterday when we spoke to you we have the pictures of the head of the military smiling next to robert mugabe in his home. there obviously seems to be a desire to make this as peaceful transition as possible? yes, there is very much a tradition in this country of respect for your elders, so it's trying to treat robert mugabe with dignity, even though many people accuse him of presiding over political oppression and economic disaster. they want to give him a kind of dignified way out of office. they wa nt dignified way out of office. they want him to resign with dignity. i think he wants security guarantees about the safety of him and his family. if he does resign, that will pave the way for some kind of transitional government in zimbabwe, including members of the opposition,

ina including members of the opposition, in a coalition government. thanks very much. we will get more from them throughout the programme. 90 mp5, about a third of them conservatives, have signed a letter to the prime minister and chancellor calling for parties to work together on the future of the nhs and social care in england. the politicians who signed the letter, including nearly 30 former ministers, say party politics has failed to come up with a solution. our health editor hugh pym reports. the pressure on nhs is growing. there are fears that hospitals will continue to struggle to find enough beds to admit new patients, partly because of difficulties discharging elderly patients, caused in turn by problems with social care. a group of mps now says that a long—term sustainable settlement is needed and that only a cross—party nhs and care convention can deliver that. in the letter written to the prime minister and the chancellor, the mps say: senior conservative labour

and liberal democrat backbenchers are among those who signed the letter. i think the nhs and social care are huge issues for our generation and we've got to get it right and i think it's bigger than just one party. the mps also call for action in next week's budget to address the short—term pressures on the system. a government spokesperson said it was recognised there was broad agreement across parliament, that social care reform was a priority, and there would be consultation ahead of policy paper next year. donald trump has announced the suspension of the importing of elephant trophies, just a day after the band was relaxed by his administration. they were set to reverse the 2014 obama era van by

allowing punters to bring back mementos from big game kills in africa but last night he tweeted the change was now on hold until he could review all conservation facts. an air and sea search is taking place to try to find an argentine submarine which disappeared in the south atlantic on wednesday. the sanjuan has 44 crew onboard, including the argentine navy‘s first woman submarine officer. the boat's last known position was about 260 miles off the coast of patagonia. here, a 49—year—old man, who was arrested on suspicion of murder following the disappearance of teenager gaia pope, has been released while inquiries continue. paul elsey, confirmed as a suspect to the bbc by his father, is from swanage. murder detectives now focussing their forensic investigations on homes, cars and an area near a coastal path where women's clothing was found. miss pope's family have confirmed the clothing matched what she was believed to be wearing on the day she went missing.

the sinn fein president gerry adams has said he will set out a plan for a leadership change in his party at its conference in dublin today. mr adams, one of the most significant and divisive figures in irish politics, has led sinn fein since 1983. he's indicated he won't stand down immediately, but will talk about future plans. the new leader of the scottish labour party will be announced later this morning. the contest is between the former deputy leader anas sarwar and richard leonard, who became an msp last year. the winner will replace kezia dugdale, who stepped down in august and is reportedly flying to australia this weekend to take part in the itv reality show i'm a celebrity....get me out of here. we are waiting for confirmation on that. what an extraordinary political turnaround! lots of negotiation, that is what you need in thejungle. just like parliament! this year's children in need reached a record on—the—night—total of more

than £50 million. highlights of the programme included an eastenders musical, singing countryfile presenters, and blue peter does strictly come dancing. our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba reports. kids, there's a place that's like no other. the west end came to the east end too, with a special song and dance performance. blue peter stars, past and present, took to the strictly dance floor. look at my tardis! dr who fans got a sneak peek of peter capaldi's final episode. bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. glad it's notjust me.

# someday i'll wish upon a star # and wake up where the clouds are far...# 1,500 children in locations across the uk sang live as part of a special children's choir. and there was also the chance for viewers who have given so much to see how the money is spent. you're in control of it now, right? we're incredibly proud of him. tonight's massive total means that since it began children in need has raised approaching £1 billion, all of which has gone to helping young people and disadvantaged children all across the uk. people are becoming more and more generous each year. we keep thinking we won't top that total, and we keep

doing that. we are talking to the chief executive later. we thought it would be embarrassing if they don't top last yea r‘s be embarrassing if they don't top last year's are but they do every year. we will have more sport later and of course we will have the weather forecast. as we've been hearing this morning, air accident investigators are working to establish the cause of a crash between a helicopter and a plane which killed four people in buckinghamshire yesterday. the collision took place shortly after midday above the waddesdon estate, which is national trust land near aylesbury. tony cable is a former air accident investigator and he has flown helicopters from the same base used by both of the aircraft in yesterday's incident. he joins us now from our reading studio. good morning. thanks for being with us good morning. thanks for being with us this morning. obviously it's very early days and we shouldn't be speculating, but from what you know about this area, what do you think the investigators will be

considering at this point? looking at markings on the two aircraft and the items that got knocked off. in this type of airspace i imagine they we re this type of airspace i imagine they were low—level and therefore in what's known uncontrolled airspace. so the means of avoiding other aircraft in that sort of situation is what's known as see and avoid. so a pilot has to keep a lookout and actually see another aircraft and ta ke actually see another aircraft and take action to avoid it if necessary , take action to avoid it if necessary, rather than being controlled by air traffic. so they are literally using isight, eyeballing one another, rather than being told where to go —— eye sight. yes that's correct. they may be on what's called a radar advisory service, so you

what's called a radar advisory service, so you can what's called a radar advisory service, so you can request this and air traffic will then watch the aircraft on radar and if they see a conflict arising they can give advice as to the location of another aircraft, but it is not positive control. the pilots also will be looking out for all listening out for radio messages from other people in the area. and keeping an eye on their positioning and altitude and so their positioning and altitude and so forth. but basically it's looking around for other aircraft and of course all aircraft have blindspots. we understand the weather was actually pretty good at the time, it was quite clear and the sun wasn't too low. the talk about blindspots. in the kind of aircraft we are talking about, the aeroplane and the helicopter, is it common for them to obvious and ~ , ,, . obvious % ident so. g

obvious % ident so. if- a obvious % ident so. if- is very downward very much, unless a game you manoeuvre around and for example if you are descending eubank over and have a look down below you before you descend. and have a look down below you before you descendlj and have a look down below you before you descend. i think a lot of people who are not involved in aviation and have never been in a helicopter or flown one will be amazed that in this day and age with so much technology around us pilots are relying on their eyesight, that there is no technology or guidance system that would allow them to be

safer. there are systems around known as avsb so that aircraft can transmit their position to other aircraft, but that is not widespread at the moment. it is coming in. it works most of the time, but it has limitations. tragically, every now and then there is a collision. thank you very much for explaining that to us on breakfast this morning as investigations continue in buckinghamshire. it is going to get more cold. it is officially winter, isn't it? not yet. you impetuous

youth! you have to wait until the first of december. don't mind the astronomical side of it all but we worked in four months. it is cool this morning but what are you going to say when we get into the depths of winter and have snow! calm down! brighten the south—east. that will not be the case all day. —— bright in. here is why. many isobars in —— bright in. here is why. many isoba rs in scotland —— bright in. here is why. many isobars in scotland to be pretty bright if you dodge the showers. they will keep coming on this westerly wind. bright enough but chilly. brightness for northern ireland. the same in the south—east. we saw that earlier on with the weather picture. cloud here. that is

not the case in anglesey. a mass of cloud in the south—west drifting further east with time down towards the southern counties ringing the prospect of rain. further north, showers. that will get out of the north of england and it will be bright in the afternoon. northern ireland, a dry afternoon. scotland, showers in the north—east. and a breeze. the rugby. a little bit damp in cardiff and twickenham. scotland, clear skies. you have the new zealanders being more of a concern than the weather. overnight, clear skies. i will get more grief from the breakfast couch because we will have a chilly night. a frosty start to sunday, especially in the south—western quarter. that cloud

filled in the west of the british isles, bringing with it the prospect of rainfor isles, bringing with it the prospect of rain for some. —— filling in for. relatively dry but clouding up. not warm. 5— six degrees as the daytime maximum temperature. sunday and monday. mild airfrom the maximum temperature. sunday and monday. mild air from the atlantic. a price, the prospect of a damp start for many. the potential for snowfall across not necessarily the highest ground in scotland. you cold us youth! it is early. we all make mistakes. —— you called us. you called us. history is set to be made in zimbabwe today as rallies across the

capital tried to force robert mcga rvey to capital tried to force robert mcgarvey to stand down following the military takeover. —— try. —— mugabe. this is following a military take—over which began this week. tanks were spotted on the on the outskirts of the capital city, sparking rumours that something was about to happen. troops seized state television to deny a coup and tell the nation they were targeting criminals, while placing the president under house arrest. mr mugabe was then pictured smiling as he took part in talks with the military leaders now in charge, but sources suggested he might be resisting pressure to resign. on friday, the president appeared in public for the first time since the military take—over to attend a graduation ceremony, handing out degrees. now, this morning, the ruling party, human rights activists and veterans will march to try and get the president to step down. we will now be speaking to quincy, who is in zimbabwe, and can tell us about the atmosphere there.

thank you for talking to us. tell us if you can, we will use you to get a gauge of the temperature, the mood, how people are feeling in this period of potential transition. good morning. how are you? very well. talk to us. it still feels like a dream. this is new territory. just the smell of freedom, how close we have come, it is unbelievable. for the first time in my life, i have seen the first time in my life, i have seen different people from different parties agreeing on one thing altogether at once. how many people do you think, in terms of balance, wa nt to do you think, in terms of balance, want to see this change? who wants to see the change and was happy with

how things are? can i tell you something? please. iwould say how things are? can i tell you something? please. i would say 9096 of the country. many people had no choice. audio issues. everyone i know is longing for change. we are going to have to cut this interview short because we are having technical problems in terms of the sound. thank you for talking to us. we will get back in touch with you later in the programme if we can. largely seen he is one of what he says are 90% of the people he knows wanting a transition of leadership in zimbabwe. —— saying. we will get more information later to get a sense of the protesting and how many people are out on the streets and the impact it may have as hours go

on. it's 12,000 square feet, made from more than 30,000 wooden blocks, and has been putting a spring into dancers' steps for well over a century. and tonight, blackpool's tower ballroom will host the eight remaining couples on strictly come dancing. in a moment we'll speak to three dancers who have trod those famous boards. but first, we sent abbiejones for a peak behind the scenes. seagulls, chip butty, and queues around the streets. it is that time of year when strictly come dancing comes to blackpool. it is exciting! i have the hic ups! i cannot stop. goodness me! i love it here. i am just enjoying every minute. and it is really exciting. and itjust

feels fantastic to be a part of this special moment. i have never been in this ballroom. i have heard amazing things. i could not believe it. it is like the ballroom in beauty and the beast. it is wonderful. every minute of practice counts before tonight. but it is the tower ballroom's dancefloor the celebrities are desperate to get out on. a quick step for you.” celebrities are desperate to get out on. a quick step for you. i am loving it. it is so energetic. we are bouncing around the amazing floor. i cannot wait for the rehearsal. and a sexy salsa. it may be. i don't give it away for free. it is amazinga lot of fun. it is

incredible. and you are bracing back paul. we have got you something else as well. —— embracing blackpool. what do you reckon? excitement inside matched only by the fans waiting outside in the cold. fantastic. we travelled from leeds this morning just for strictly. we love it. it is great. good luck to gemma. so, there will be a seaside smash and who will be a dancing donkey? we will find out tonight. bbc news, blackpool.

i have never been there myself. really! well, let's find out what you missed. we're joined now by three people who can tell us why the tower ballroom is so special. partners darcey and isaac are here with their dance teacher, stephen, who is also darcey‘s dad. good morning. good morning. how are you? very well. how worried you? good, thank you. what is so special about blackpool? it is a big place where lots of professional people have danced. it is a special place. many people have been to dance there. is their a vibe? yeah, i have danced were

professionals have danced. it feels like i am dancing on the same stage they have danced on. it is quite nerve—racking, but they have danced on. it is quite nerve— racking, but really they have danced on. it is quite nerve—racking, but really exciting. and people say the dancefloor, because it is sprung and made off wooden blocks, it literally feels different, did you find that? yeah. yeah. it goes in and out and you can bounce on it. so, we should see a lot of bouncing around on the television. yes. what makes strictly come dancing going to blackpool so special? it is the mecca of ballroom dancing. everyone wants to go there. that is because it has two of the most fabulous ballrooms in the entire world. it isjust synonymous with ballroom dancing. as you said,

the dancefloor is one of the best. when you dance on it, it literally... you can feel it. it is so literally... you can feel it. it is so bouncy. we have seen celebrities dancing there. we will speak to some later. even growing up in russia, she is aware of blackpool. it is world—famous. once a year, the ballroom dancing community descends on blackpool and becomes a beautiful place for the entire week because you just see the dancers walking around. there are thousands of them. the you guys watch strictly come dancing? and do you enjoy it? yeah. and you think it is getting better? this could be a loaded question. be careful. not at all! do you think

the national trust's waddesdon estate, near aylesbury, for wreckage. both aircraft had set off from wycombe air park, around 20 miles from the scene of the crash. 90 mp5, about a third of them conservatives, have signed a letter to the prime minister and chancellor calling for a crossparty approach on the future of and social care in england. a government spokesman said it was committed to making the sector sustainable. the politicians who signed the letter, including nearly 30 former ministers, say partisan politics has failed to come up with a solution. let's embrace the need to work across party. there is no majority in parliament. let's work across party to come up with a long—term settlement so that we don't keep lurching from crisis to crisis. an air and sea search is taking place to try to find an argentine submarine which disappeared in the south atlantic on wednesday. the sanjuan has 44 crew onboard, including the argentine navy‘s first woman submarine officer. the boat's last known position

was about 260 miles off the coast of patagonia. history is set to be made in zimbabwe today as the ruling party, human rights activists and veterans hold rallies to try to force president mugabe to step down. in the last hour people have begun arriving to march in the capital city, following a military coup earlier this week. state media confirmed that eight out of ten regional branches of the governing zanu—pf have already passed a vote of no confidence in the 93—year—old head of state. here, a 49—year—old man, who was arrested on suspicion of murder following the disappearance of teenager gaia pope, has been released while inquiries continue. paul elsey, confirmed as the suspect to the bbc by his father, is from swanage. murder detectives are focussing their forensic investigations on homes, cars and an area near a coastal path where women's clothing was found. miss pope's family confirmed

the clothing matched what she was believed to be wearing on the day she went missing. the sinn fein president gerry adams has said he will set out a plan for a leadership change in his party at its conference in dublin today. mr adams, who is one of the most significant and divisive figures in irish politics, has led sinn fein since 1983. he's indicated he won't stand down immediately, but will talk about future plans. the new leader of the scottish labour party will be announced later this morning. the contest is between the former deputy leader anas sarwar and richard leonard, who became an msp last year. the winner will replace kezia dugdale, who stepped down in august and is reportedly flying to australia this weekend to take part in the itv reality show i'm a celebrity....get me out of here. the government is considering a tax on single use plastic used in takeaway boxes and polystyrene. philip hammond is expected to use next week's budget to announce a consultation on the measure to cut

waste and pollution. an estimated 12 million tons of plastic enters the ocean every year and residues are routinely found in fish, sea birds and marine mammals. this year's children in need reached a record on—the—night—total of more than £50 million. singing highlights of the programme included an eastenders musical, singing countryfile presenters, and blue peter does strictly come dancing. since 1980 the appeal has raised more than £900 million. and an original drawing of the comic book hero tintin is expect to sell for £1 million later today. the artwork was published in 1939. it was the cover of one of the stories. other options include the designs for tintin boardgames. that's the main news.

over to the sport. good morning. lots of change going on. everyone seems to be shuffling around, especially switching countries and even switching from managing country to going back to an old club. a bit ofa to going back to an old club. a bit of a shameful wales. football association seems to have done all they could to persuade him to stay. they say they are deeply disappointed to announce that they will stay and go back to club management. an interesting decision on the way he is going back to it. back to sunderland. they are bottom of the championship. obviously if he can do it it will be an amazing achievement. but the thinking was his already in a position to go onto bigger better things. maybe a premier league position. maybe he likes a challenge. he does and he has written —— risen to it. ryan giggs is the odds—on favourite

to become the next wales manager, after chris coleman stood down. his new challenge is to rescue sunderland, who're bottom of the championship. patrick gearey looks back at coleman's time as wales boss. before chris coleman, wales waited 58 years to get to a major tournament. he took them straight to the semis. last year's victory over belgium marked the dizzying peak for welsh football, a time when anything seemed possible. you can't be afraid of dreams. four years ago i was as far away from this as you can imagine. and look what's happened. if you work hard and if you aren't afraid of the dream and you aren't afraid to fail. the low point came when he took over from gary speed, who took his own life in 2011. he had to help the young players speed had begun to bring through recover from that shock. the bond he had with the group inspired ever improving performances and the manager had on his side a global superstar.

gareth bale, with a moment of absolute magic! he created such a great atmosphere in the camp. it makes us want to win for him, for ourselves and for our country. he has really brought that passion and pride back into wales. bale's gold was accompanied by newly forged steel at the back. wales made the euros. though they lost to england, they beat russia, then northern ireland and then unforgettably belgium. then the climb stopped. they lost to eventual champions portugal in the semi—final and couldn't quite rediscovered the magic in world cup qualifying. but defeat to the republic of ireland in cardiff meant the end of their challenge. and effectively the end of chris coleman. he lasted in the friendly against panama last weekend. i think they all hoped the manager would stay on, but it's not to be. he will go down as wales's most successful manager and rightly so for what he has achieved. he is hardly taking the easy option

in going to sunderland, struggling in the second tier, but it may never eclipse thejob he did in taking welsh football from its toughest moment to its greatest one. we were talking about managers switching countries. northern ireland manager michael o'neill had also been linked to the sunderland job but he's now been given permission to speak to the scottish fa about their vacant manager's position. he was bitterly disappointed when northern ireland just missed out on qualifying for next year's world cup. he's been in charge for six years, leading them to last year's euros, theirfirst major finals for 30 years. jose mourinho has criticised england's medical team for making his defender philjones play in theirfriendly against his defender philjones play in their friendly against germany last week. jones needed six injections to make it to the starting lineup for england, but he will miss manchester united's game against newcastle today. i'm not an angel and players

are injected to play crucial matches, but a friendly... to get six anaesthetic injections, local, to play a friendly? i never heard... i never heard about it. and phil jones had it and had it before the match and after 15 minutes he was out and obviously tomorrow he is out. it does seem a lot to put on the line for a friendly. a bit of a sobering experience for england. with the first ashes test now just five days away, they were lucky to get a draw. jason sangha and matthew short hit centuries, before moeen ali had the only success of the tourists' day, getting sangha caught out. the cricket australia side still finished the day on 364—4. so a massive score for them. "that dream is gone". those are the words of england women's head coach mark robinson,

because australia retained the ashes by winning the first t20 in sydney. the aussies' win means they can't be beaten by england under the series' point scoring system. it's been a good week for the england women's rugby team this week. it was announced the rfu will pay them match fees for the first time. and last night they thrashed canada 79—5 in the opening match of their three test series. harlequins wing jess breach scoring six of them on her debut. the sides play again next tuesday and saturday. the autumn internationals continue, with scotland hoping to beat the all blacks for the first time and england taking on australia. and in the aviva premiership, gloucester produced a remarkable comeback in the final half hour to beat saracens, scoring 20 second—half points to win 23—17 at kingsholm. there were wins for ospreys and dragons in the anglo—welsh cup. tonga survived a bit of a scare to reach their first world cup semi—final. they just scraped past lebanon, winning 24—22, but they were a shadow of the side

that beat new zealand in their previous game. and tonga will be england's opponents, if england beat papua new guinea tomorrow. andy murray has split with his coach ivan lendl for the second time. under his guidance, murray won three grand slam titles, two olympic golds and made it to world number one, but he's been plagued with injury all season and he'll continue to work on regaining his fitness, leading up to january's australian open. meanwhile, his brotherjamie is into the doubles semi—finals at the atp tour finals in london. he and bruno soares beat the top—ranked pairing of marcelo melo and lukasz kubot in straight sets last night. they'll play the defending champions henri kontinen and murray's former partnerjohn peers today. the battle between tommy fleetwood and justin rose to finish the year as europe's number one golfer is getting exciting. it's advantage rose, who's two shots off the pace at the dubai championship and two clear of fleetwood. they're chasing this man, defending

champion matthew fitzpatrick, who's leading the field going into round three. he's ten under—par, one shot ahead of tyrrell hatton. it is always the race to dubai, to see who becomes europe's leading golfer. the race is now into the final sprint. fascinating how there are so many brits. english as well. i don't know what's going on in english golf. justin rose had a good run and now he is up in the mix in dubai, tommy fleetwood doing really well. i think we only european player is sergio garcia, who is in with a slight chance. at i think it will be an english winner. it will be a race to get a seat on the plane out of dubai! over to keep oxime from the tranquillity of golf. —— kickboxing. she only took up kick—boxing as a hobby to keep fit, but now she's a british and world champion. tonight kelly haynes

is again in an international contest at the o2. mike has been speaking to her about spaghetti. a spaghetti bolognese which packs a punch and not many 10—year—olds have their tea served by a world champion kickboxer and it's not just their tea served by a world champion kickboxer and it's notjust archie. here you go. never in my life did i think i would be doing something like this. i'm a mum, never in a million years. not many children have a mum like this. it's a little bit scary, because it on what will happen, but i don't actually think

anyone would want to mess with her on the street. tonight, archie and some from his school will see her in action for the first time at the o2 where she won her uk title last year. apra to has watched many times from the couch before, as has her coach —— archie. from the couch before, as has her coach -- archie. it's hard watching your partner but you have to put your partner but you have to put your professional head on and try to disassociate with what's going on in the ring and think, that's a fighter in debt. which is why i was taking no chances. in the training gym i became her latest warmup as she prepares to face another undefeated fighterfrom spain. prepares to face another undefeated fighter from spain. we prepares to face another undefeated fighterfrom spain. we kicked me when i'm down? not if you have a glove on the floor. it got to respect fighters. i love it that you can hit them... yeah. and they kept coming. in k1 the emphasis is all about keeping the action flowing. we

from bbc news out for the count. that is why he isn't here. and now for the weather. good morning. a bit ofa for the weather. good morning. a bit of a tough line in the north—east of scotland. the north—east of wales, no issues. the north—east of scotland, windy. many showers right now and through the day that the showers in the north—west of england. gradually going further south. bright in east anglia. further west, this is where we had the rain in wales and the south—west. it becomes a little bit ofan south—west. it becomes a little bit of an issue in the southern counties with time. light and patchy. some of

the missing it. the best of the sunshine in the north of england. brightness in northern ireland. doing nothing for the temperatures. milderair doing nothing for the temperatures. milder air trapped under the cloud. that goes into the south—west overnight. that is where we will keep the clear skies in the rest of the british isles. that keeps temperatures up over there. don't be surprised to have a frosty start to sunday. keeping that way in central and eastern parts of the british isles. the wind in the north—east. cloud moving in. one of those afternoons for western scotland and the north—west of england and wales. sunshine at east. 5—6. that is it. a late autumn bit of weather for the british isles. and now for

newswatch. hello and welcome to the show. halfway to brexit so how is the biased, baffling and boring say viewers. we asked how to inform viewers on this most divisive first, events in zimbabwe which first came to the attention of newsdesks on tuesday evening. it has been taking a while to work out what exact has happened, it was a military coup or not. the confusion was not helped by the bbc quoting as a source a fake twitter account in the name of the ruling party, zanu—pf. on bbc one television, breaking news alert and the website. it is not clear who runs the account which referred to an elderly man who had been taken advantage of by his wife being detained in a bloodless transition. some people were unimpressed.

bbc world news later apologised and a spokesperson said... on wednesday borisjohnson met richard ratcliffe whose wife is in prison in iran and that prompted the dimensions on the bbc the foreign secretary's incorrect statement last week that she had been working in the country training journalists. she was on holiday. on sunday andrew marr followed up on the comment by asking michael gove about nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe. what was she doing when she went to iran? i don't know. one of the things i want to stress, there is no reason why nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe should be in prison in iran as far as any of us know. you say you don't know

what she was doing, her husband is clear she was on holiday. that what she was doing. i take her husband 's assurance. he said she was training journalists andthat has been grabbed by the iranian judiciary to put her plight into an even worse position also that is surely his fault. whatever we as democrats choose to do or say extremist will choose to deploy for their own purposes. we play their game. we point the finger at democrats to try to do the right thing when it is extremist responsible for the use of human rights. that exchange, and what boris johnson said about it, went on for around five minutes and prompted this reaction about andrew marr. this week saw the latest chapter

in the saga of the uk preparations for leaving the eu with the withdrawal bill reaching its committee stake in the house of commons. it is part of a compact legislative process in westminster mirrored by equally lengthy negotiations in brussels where david davis and michel barnier have reached the sixth round of talks. bbc news have been following the talks every step of the way. 12 months after the uk voted to leave the eu, the first formal talks to set the terms of departure have taken place in brussels. michel barnier, the chief negotiator, said he hoped the talks

would be held in a constructive atmosphere. behind the smart suits, stiff smiles, it was clear that both sides were talking at cross purposes. time is a precious commodity. and don't the uk and the eu know it. we are halfway between the date of our referendum and actually leaving the club. expect many more face—offs along the way. and if those negotiations are proving tricky, so too is the bbc‘s task in covering brexit in a way that satisfies the audience of its impartiality while keeping it informed in a clear and interesting way. not everyone feels that is being achieved. martin from plymouth said... meanwhile, david begged...

and another few had this concern... the bbc‘s europe editor, katya adler, spent much of her life living and breathing the brexit process and shejoins me now. the biggest complaint we get is about perceived bias, a sense that bbc reporting is constantly knocking british negotiators. it is a fair comment that

you would expect to make. as europe editor is is myjob to put across the european perspective. that might come across as anti—uk but it is putting across the other point of view. as we see these negotiations becoming pretty bad tempered, obviously there is very differing points of view. taking all that on board, viewers feel we don't seem to get the same scrutiny of eu negotiators and their strategy. since the negotiations started, i don't know if you're familiar with the italian word omerta which means silence. we are seeing that inside the eu commission building, especially with eu leaders, who have been told to zip it and only let mr barnier speak

about brexit. we just don't have that same access at this stage to talk to the main players on the european side as we do on the british side to put those difficult questions to them on camera or on the record in a radio interview. i understand that for our viewers and listeners that is extremely frustrating and it feels like when not doing ourjob but believe me, because it is my job, i am doing it and asking those questions but the players are not allowing me to do that on the record and that is why i have to quote sources and contacts and eu diplomats. a lot of complaints say there is acres of coverage that little fact. why do you spend so much airtime speculating? many in the uk feel we voted for brexit and it's a done deal and we can move on and see some action. there isn't much action. i feel your pain on that one because we have to deal with that as well. brexit remains one of the top stories of importance for us in the uk so it is going to remain

right up there and we have to keep coming back to it as the negotiating rounds proceeds. even though actually, for example the last round, pretty much nothing happened in terms of news terms but we had to cover it and say that very little had happened. that leads you to speculate, and that is where it comes in, if there will be a deal in the end or will we be in a no deal scenario. how do you feel about viewers thinking that the coverage is too complicated ? i would say that brexit is a very combative issue. what about the financial services industry, agriculture, other goods, what happens to the label that says made in the uk but between the jar and the labels and the content it crosses over between the uk and europe several times before a product is finished? these are all fiendishly complicated and that is why, as well as the brexit negotiators, you have lawyers on both sides. this is dry and detailed stuff but that is what goes into untangling the uk from the eu

and in the end will go into making a trade agreement between the two sides. repetitive coverage is a big charge. we see a lot of men in grey suits walking out of buildings. is making this coverage interesting challenging? i get that question on a daily and hourly and weekly level it can seem dreary. i can tell you that here in brussels i am surrounded by the eu institutions and they are grey and full of people in grey suits. that can be a bit difficult sometimes, the way we can lift it is in a different kind of coverage we have this whether it is my blog where i can get some colour into it, we have the brexit podcast as well. tell us about that, what is the thinking behind it? it is two fold really.

on the one hand, if i have to do a q and a on the news, i'm often told, you got 50 seconds in which to get so much nuance in and that's pretty much impossible. never mind trying to get fact and a bit of colour. you go on brexitcast you have ages of time to chat. we have our hosts and laura kuenssberg as well, a lot of knowledge in there and a lot of humour and we are able to get some humour into it. but i admit, brexit is not something where events happen in a fast and furious manner but it is a hugely dramatic moment in eu and uk history. thank you for coming on. before we go, no secret that some newspapers like to have a go at the bbc and this week the sun italy enjoy doing so. published photographs of night shift workers asleep at their desks, passed to them a fellow member of staff who complained...

we won't embarrass our sleeping colleagues but we will mention the response of middle east correspondent quentin sommerville, perhaps recovering from his exclusive report on sunday. his report on is fighters. thank you for all of your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions or even appear on the programme you can call us on this number. you can find us on twitter and have a look at our website for previous discussions. that is all from us, we will be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news
