9:00 am
bbc one tonight, the blackpool experience. you didn't quite get there, did you? nowhere near there! i was being nice. yeah don't bother. headlines in a moment. stay with us. hello this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and jon kay. thousands of people take to the streets in zimbabwe to protest against the president robert mugabe. the 93—year—old has been in power for 37 years but is now facing growing calls for him to quit.
9:01 am
good morning. also this morning : police and air accident investigators try and find out why two aircraft collided, leaving four people dead. 90 mp5 say patients in the health service in england are being "failed" by the system as they ask the prime ministerfor a cross—party solution. 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. jools holland has duetted with some of the biggest names in the business — now he's back with a new double act. he'll be here withjose feliciano. and philip has the weather. a bit of everything in the weekend's
9:02 am
forecasts. the bulk of the sunshine will be found over northern parts for saturday, cloud for more southern areas, more details in a couple of minutes. see you then. jubilant scenes on the streets of zimbabwe where people are protesting against the president robert mugabe. state media has confirmed that eight out of ten regional branches of the governing zanu pf already passed a vote of no—confidence against president. ben brown is in zimbabwe for us. this is a highly pivotal day in the country's history, isn't it? it really is. some exuberant scenes in the capital of harare. thousands of people coming out onto the
9:03 am
streets for rallies. two separate rallies. demanding robert mugabe steps down, resigned immediately. one is organised by the war vetera ns, one is organised by the war veterans, the men who fought alongside robert mugabe in the war of independence, in the war of liberation against white minority rule. they and the ruling party, zanu pf, have turned against robert mugabe. he has few friends left. you wouldn't think he had much time left. there is almost nobody you come across in zimbabwe who still wa nt come across in zimbabwe who still want him to be president. it's only a matter of time, maybejust want him to be president. it's only a matter of time, maybe just hours before he must step down. what is stopping those who have almost overthrown him from actually completing the task they have started 7 i think the military all along, since their takeover on wednesday which they refused to call a coup d'etat, even though most observers looking at it thought it was, they don't want to call it a coup d'etat.
9:04 am
they don't want to be seen to be forcing him out of office. they want him to agree voluntarily to resign, to go off his own volition. he perhaps would accept that if he could negotiate safety for himself and his family from the army. we don't know if he would stay in this country or if you would go into exile. those are the options. —— if he would go. he would be replaced by a transitional government, including members of zanu pf, but also the opposition, mdc. thanks very much. 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 for wreckage — around the national trust's waddesdon estate, near aylesbury. beneath the canopy of autumn colour lies the wreckage of two light aircraft.
9:05 am
this is the tale of the cessna plane. nearby lies its wing and a little further away in a clearing are the remains of what is believed to be the helicopter. two people were travelling in each aircraft and no one survived. we did a joint response with the fire service, ambulance and now the air accident branch who are working with us through a joint investigation while we establish the cause of the crash. the mid—air collision happened above the waddesdon estate, in buckinghamshire. both pilots took off from whickham airport 20 miles away. visibility at the time was clear and bright. an off—duty fire officer saw the collision and says there was a loud bang followed by falling debris. yesterday, police and air accident investigators worked late into the night. their task — to find out why the crash happened and who was involved. with the wreckage spread over a large area, the search for clues as to why two aircraft
9:06 am
collided in good conditions is expected to continue at least until monday. a 49—year—old man who was arrested on suspicion of the murder of missing teenager gaia pope has been released. paul elsey was held after clothing similar to what 19—year—old gaia was believed to be wearing the day she disappeared was found near a coastal path. we can get the latest from our reporter. it is good to see you. we heard from the father of gaia pope yesterday saying hope beyond hope, but theirfamily yesterday saying hope beyond hope, but their family cannot rest until they know more about this and police continue with their investigation. absolutely. gaia pope's friends and
9:07 am
families remain hopeful. they think she can still be found alive. the police are investigating all avenues open to them. the discovery of clothes which appeared to match those gaia pope was wearing when she was last seen is a huge blow. the police also believe she may have come to harm. that's why they've arrested over the past week three different people on suspicion of murder. they've all now been released. with nobody in custody now there remained not much hope for the family apart from getting out there and continuing to search. on a facebook page which is called find gaia chaston thousand members, they've made an appeal for people to come in search for her. —— now has 10,000 members. they will scour the ruble areas around here. they add to the professional emergency services who are continuing their search over what they say is 100 square miles of
9:08 am
difficult to rain. grassland, close to cliffs, police warning people not to cliffs, police warning people not to get too close, not to put themselves into danger. natasha pope says i believe miracles can happen andi says i believe miracles can happen and i am holding on to hope. the moment, thanks very much. later next week the budget takes place. there have been lots of stories about what might be in store. there is speculation. and counter speculation, claims and counterclaims. let's try and put things together with tom barton who was in our london newsroom this morning. you have been looking through all of these bits of information, maybe misinformation, what do you reckon? a couple of things we know that will be in the budget on wednesday, including an announcement that the chancellor is going to make that the government is going to start thinking about how to introduce a tax on what are called single use plastics. if you bought a kebab last
9:09 am
night, the plastic tray that might have come in, or if you've got christmas shopping that you ordered online, that might have come with bubble wrap. it is looking at ways to introduce avoiding using that. hundreds of thousands of sea mammals and turtles and sea birds get affected by the single use plastic when it gets washed up on our shores. the government want to see how it is made, how it is used, howard is disposed of. and they are also looking at how a tax can be introduced in order to lower this use of this type of plastic. —— how it is disposed of. not sure what level this will be at. in other areas we have been told the government is going to lift the restrictions on housing associations borrowing money, which could lead to more social and affordable housing being built. suggestions this morning they are considering doing something similarfor morning they are considering doing something similar for councils and
9:10 am
council housing. we know the chancellor has £26 billion more than he expected. the big question now is how he is going to spend it. we will hear about that on wednesday. thanks very much. as the lobbying and pressure continues, health is one of the areas being talked about as maybe getting some of the money tom was mentioning. 90 mp5 have signed a letter to the prime minister and chancellor saying that patients are being failed by the nhs. 30 former ministers are calling for the parties to work together. our health editor 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.
9:11 am
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 mp5 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 mp5 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 a policy paper next year. yesterday we told you donald trump
9:12 am
was relaxing the suspension of the import of elephant hunting trophies into the us. now we are hearing he has reversed that decision. he wa nted has reversed that decision. he wanted to suspend the band because barack obama had brought those laws in. he was going to allow hunters to bring back mementos from big game kills. that prompted an outcry from animal activists. they are saying the number of african elephants had plummeted in recent years. he tweeted last night that the change was on hold until he could review all conservation fax. the sinn fein president gerry adams has said he will set out a plan
9:13 am
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." when people asked her what she would do after leaving the post, that wasn't anything anybody thought about. not at all. phil will have the weather surely. and we will get a sports update a little after that. today marks 30 years since the king's cross fire, when 31 people lost their lives in the worst blaze in the history of the london underground. it started when a single match which was discarded on a wooden escalator. roger kendall was one of the first
9:14 am
responders. hejoins us now. thank you for taking the time to talk to us you for taking the time to talk to us today. how is today going to mark 30 years on from the fire at king's cross. we have a wreath laying ceremony cross. we have a wreath laying ceremony this o'clock at king's cross. we then have a church service. then a lot of us will be going back to houston fire station to talk to our old friends and meet up to talk to our old friends and meet up with our colleagues. —— —— euston fire station. -- euston fire station. what happened to you. what did your day involved is that fire happened7 happened to you. what did your day involved is that fire happened?” was at soho fire station. it was a 15 hour shift. i was testing hydra nts 15 hour shift. i was testing hydrants around to —— around trafalgar square when i was messaged to say there was a fire at king's cross. fires on escalators in those
9:15 am
yea rs we re cross. fires on escalators in those yea rs were not cross. fires on escalators in those years were not uncommon. it was just another call. i attended years were not uncommon. it was just another call. iattended king's cross with my colleagues on the fire engine. as we arrived, my colleague, who actually lost his life that day, said he was going down to investigate it. we stood outside. nothing was showing outside. it was just a normal november evening with people coming and going. people still entering the subway and coming out. moments later there was a huge rush of black smoke and then we realised we had a serious incident in progress. the details of this, 30 yea rs in progress. the details of this, 30 years ago, but the details remain raw in your mind. even the people who were not there, it was the intensity of the fire and the unpreparedness intensity of the fire and the unprepa redness to intensity of the fire and the unpreparedness to something so great in sucha unpreparedness to something so great in such a confined space which shocked so many people.” in such a confined space which shocked so many people. i think that's right. it was also a real human tragedy. it affected
9:16 am
indiscriminately londoners just going about their daily business. that was the largest impact it had on the firefighters dealing with the incident on that particular evening. even in recent events it shows the dedication that firefighters give to the public in london and certainly across britain. you mentioned colin townsley, your governor, head of your unit, he died that night and that in itself shook your team. you actually had to step into his shoes almost and lead the team to another fire after the king's cross fire, tell us about that. i was told colin had passed on, which was absolutely awful because he was such a huge character and such a good leader of firefighters. the second—in—command was in hospital with heat exhaustion. i took command of soho. it was a difficult night but i decided to deal with the guys and
9:17 am
just get them back on the horse, so to speak. at about 1:30am, after talking everybody into getting the fire engines ready, we were ready to attend our next incident which was in oxford street. it was a fire alarm, but putting cruise through the window was a difficult time because things were so raw. the public is grateful for what the fire service does. we are mindful of the most service does. we are mindful of the m ost rece nt service does. we are mindful of the most recent fire, the images of the g re nfell tower most recent fire, the images of the grenfell tower in london, and what firefighters were doing to battle to save people's lives. it's amazing how the public responds to a community which is so badly damaged and hurt by something so ferocious. this was the same after colin's death, as well. it certainly was. colin's death, it really was like a street funeral. people were lining the streets. people bursting into
9:18 am
applause. it was moving. it shows that firefighters... firefighters across the world are so grateful for the people. we really appreciate it when people come out and do that. we are still delivering service to people in the hour of their need. very emotional day. you have the memorial event later, the wreath—laying service at king's cross at 11 o'clock, then a private church service. thank you very much for talking to us ahead of your day. thank you. phil has the weather for us thank you. phil has the weather for us this morning. thank you. a decent enough start for northern and eastern parts of the british isles. we have had a plethora of lovely pictures from our
9:19 am
weather watchers capturing that aspect of the weather. that is not the whole story, however. it is murky across parts of the west. you are closed —— closer to this weather front. eastern parts, just far away from that big area of low pressure over scandinavia which is generating lots of wind. across the north—east of scotla nd lots of wind. across the north—east of scotland it is reaching there. the northern part of britain lots of dry and fine weather to be had. through the afternoon that's the way it will probably stay. having said that, throughout the day, there will be these showers rattling down on the strong northwestern went across the strong northwestern went across the north—east of scotland. a dry enough afternoon for the rest of us. the showers around the north—eastern shores of northern ireland, they disappear, a dry day here, and they slumped over the north of england, as well. further south, slumped over the north of england, as well. furthersouth, generally speaking, the further south and west you are the more likely it will be you are the more likely it will be you will see rain. but some people
9:20 am
will escape them. it is mild in the south—western corner in the day and overnight. skies were clear. a widespread frost in the countryside. but we'd be the —— that we'd be the case for western out east, dry, bright, and crisp first thing. you will keep the sunshine but it does not do much for the temperatures. in the west, temperatures around seven and 11 degrees despite losing the sunshine. to the start of monday, significant snowfall across not just the to the start of monday, significant snowfall across notjust the highest ground in scotland, some of it could get down to lower levels. we will keep you up—to—date as we go through the weekend. thanks very much. thanks very much. it is now time to have a look at the
9:21 am
saturday papers. tim walker is here. we will talk to you ina tim walker is here. we will talk to you in a moment. let's look through the front pages. the front page of the front pages. the front page of the telegraph... eu threat to withhold such as rebate. this story is taking a look at europe threatening to keep that britain's final rebate of 5 billion euros as pa rt final rebate of 5 billion euros as part of negotiations over the brexit bill. the guardian's front page, looking at the development of pa rents looking at the development of parents losing their children as pa rt parents losing their children as part of the divorce process. the daily mail is taking a look at a rescue. . . the daily mail is taking a look at a rescue... not sure if it is a risky, but it is about this man his family
9:22 am
did not know where he was even though he had gone out on an adventure, saying he would keep out of touch and try to explore his surroundings. but he is on his way back. olivia the front page of the times this morning, a picture of robert mugabe attending a graduation ceremony yesterday as his future remains uncertain. their story is about advertising on you tube as a result of some videos which the times claims shows images of children being teased and mocked. some advertising suspended because of that. a few goes before the budget. we have been hearing that the chancellor is going to look at taxes on disposable plastic. takeaway containers, etc. it shows that governments are taking the issue of waste of climate change, looking after our planet very seriously.
9:23 am
waste of climate change, looking after our planet very seriouslym wasn't so long ago we were known as the dirty man of europe because of our poor environmental credentials in this country. now we are getting better. that's a welcome initiative. over the past two weeks, in germany, a rather wonderful annual event has been taking place, which is in its 23rd year, it is where politicians, experts, campaigners, everybody who ca res gets experts, campaigners, everybody who cares gets together and essentially theiraim is to cares gets together and essentially their aim is to try to leave the planet in a slightly better position thanit planet in a slightly better position than it was when we took it over. the guardian celebrates britain's achievement in being the country's leading the way with decarbonising. that is crucial if we are to get temperatures down and tackle climate change. the problem is, brexit poses an enormous challenge in terms of climate. according to this article. so many of our laws have come from
9:24 am
europe. there is going to be buyers and time task to address where the law meet brexit. —— a lot of the people who go on about borders, people like trump, the former chancellor of the exchequer, often tend to be sceptic of climate change. it can only be done on a global basis. michael gove saying at the weekend andrew marr that brexit is an opportunity for britain to be better than europe, to go further. then again, we are trying to do deals, put business first. it's a conjugated situation. i wouldn't envy anybody trying to sort any of that out legally. if you want to live longer, it isn't about your diet, exercise, geta live longer, it isn't about your diet, exercise, get a dog, says the guardian. as long as we keep the planet going, it'll be possible to live a longer time if we get a dog.
9:25 am
look at the queen, who is in pretty good shape, only just look at the queen, who is in pretty good shape, onlyjust recently reduced her workload at 91, and she isa reduced her workload at 91, and she is a well—known corgi owner. it is not any old dog that will do it, it is little dogs, apparently, corgis, beagles... not handbag dogs. exactly. i used to have a labrador, and apparently they don't do anything for your life expectancy. 40% of people are less likely to die prematurely if they have a dog and 10% less likely to develop heart disease. they did survey quite a few people, something like 3.4 million people. absolutely, and a distinguished academic paper, so we should take it seriously. do not get rid of your large dog because of that. i have a little dog. love all of the dogs, they are amazing. allegedly george osborne one said i
9:26 am
never know what it is like to turn right when i get onto an aeroplane. if somebody else is paying, it left, if it is me, it is right, u nfortu nately. if it is me, it is right, unfortunately. maybe the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. when everybody is clammed up in economy, emirates is to introduce a fleet cold castles in the air. it doesn't go into detail. but they have virtual windows. so evenif but they have virtual windows. so even if you are on the inside, you can pretend you are looking out at the amazing views. but you are not. there is a dumb waiter. lots of things a part of it. it doesn't say how much it will cost. i imagine given that a first—class emirates flight given that a first—class emirates flight from heathrow to melbourne gusts over £7,000, i shouldn't think you would get a lot of change. —— costs over £7,000. you've got to
9:27 am
have over £6,500 of luxury to make that happen. if there is turbulence, everybody feels it, you all breathing the same air, does anybody sleep any better? i would still like the extra space and if anybody wants to give me a free trip, that's fine. in the nehra, —— in the mirror, apparently people eating at home are eating more like the 19705. i don't like it. but it is back. sales are now at 30%. -- but it is back. sales are now at 30%. —— up 30%. they talk about other di5he5 30%. —— up 30%. they talk about other dishes which should come back. prawn cocktail, they reckon. other dishes which should come back. prawn cocktail, they reckonm never went away. black forest

9:34 am
for the world cup. a huge di5appointment i think. lot5 for the world cup. a huge di5appointment i think. lots of people really sad to see him go, particularly the players, particularly the players, particularly the players, particularly the welsh fa. they seem to have done all they could to hang onto him. a surprise that he's gone to sunderland. a huge coup for sunderland. a big challenge for him. yeah and a5 dan was saying, what he need5 yeah and a5 dan was saying, what he needs now is a big injection of money and big 5pending needs now is a big injection of money and big spending in the january tra n5fer window, hopefully he can keep them up in the champion5hip. off to sunderland and no more chris coleman at wale5. champion5hip. off to sunderland and no more chris coleman at wales. who i5 no more chris coleman at wales. who is stepping into his boots? there's a couple of front runner5, ryan gigg5 i5 a couple of front runner5, ryan gigg5 is the bookie5' favourite. morning everyone. ryan giggs is the odd5—on favourite to become the next wale5 manager, after chri5 coleman 5tood down. his new challenge is to rescue sunderland, who are bottom of the championship. patrick gearey looks back at coleman'5 time as wale5 bo55. before chri5 coleman, wale5 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 5eemed po55ible.
9:35 am
don't be afraid to have dreams. becau5e four years ago, i was as far away from this as you can imagine. and look what'5 away from this as you can imagine. and look what's happened. if you work hard enough, and you're not afraid to dream, and you're not afraid to dream, and you're not afraid to dream, and you're not 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 5hock. the bond he had with the group in5pired ever improving performance5 and the manager had on his side a global 5uper5tar. commentator: 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 wale5. bale'5 gold was accompanied by newly forged 5teel at the back. wale5 made the euro5. though they lost to england, they beat ru55ia, then northern ireland and then unforgettably belgium. then the climb 5topped. they lost to eventual champion5 portugal in the semi—final and couldn't quite redi5covered the magic in world cup qualifying.
9:36 am
but defeat to the republic of ireland in cardiff meant the end of their challenge. and effectively the end of coleman'5. he la5t led wale5 he la5t led wales in a friendly again5t panama la5t he la5t led wales in a friendly again5t panama last weekend. he la5t led wales in a friendly against panama last weekend.” he la5t led wales in a friendly against panama last weekend. i think we we re against panama last weekend. i think we were all hoping a5 wel5h fan5, the players included that the manager would stay on, but it's not to be. he'5 manager would stay on, but it's not to be. he's going to go down as wale5' mo5t to be. he's going to go down as wale5' most successful manager and rightly so for what he's achieved. coleman is hardly taking the easy option in going to sunderland, 5truggling option in going to sunderland, struggling in the second tier. but it may never eclip5e the job he did in taking wel5h football from its toughe5t moment to its greatest one. 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'5 po5ition. o'neill wa5 bitterly di5appointed 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 euro5 — their first major finals for 30 yea r5. jose mourinho ha5 critici5ed
9:37 am
