good morning, welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and jon kay. our headlines today: a mother and baby are among five people killed as a brutal storm batters the us east coast. hurricane florence has been reclassified as a tropical storm but forecasters warn that the threat of catastrophic flash flooding remains. on the other side of the world, winds of more than 120 miles an hour have been recorded as a super typhoon hits land in the philippines with early reports of heavy damage. here, is it the end of the blame game? ministers set out plans for no—fault divorces in england and wales. britain has a new world triathlon champion. vicky holland has won the world title, after finishing second in the final race, on australia's gold coast. today looks likely to be the best of the two this weekend, mostly dry with some sunny spells but there is

some cloud and patchy rain further north and west. more details in half an hour. good morning, it's saturday the 15th of september. our top story: five people have been killed and hundreds of thousands left without power as tropical storm florence continues to batter america's east coast. a mother and her baby are among the victims. despite being downgraded from a hurricane, florence is still posing a danger to millions of people on its path, with forecasters warning of life—threatening storm surges. it's about the rain fall, notjust the wind. evacuation warnings are in place for 1.7 million people across south carolina, north carolina and virginia. our correspondent chris buckler has this report. the carolinas knew what was coming, but they could never fully prepare for the force of florence. along this coastline, houses found themselves on the front line for a fierce incoming storm, and a surge of water that flooded streets and homes.

despite the many days of warnings, there were people caught out, and families who needed to be rescued from their homes. cool water. there you go. in new bern, in north carolina, the emergency services had to move in as people became cut off. i've never been so terrified in my entire life. it was horrifying. just wondering what was going on and where the water's going to go, how high it's going to go and how we're going to get out. in the town of wilmington, street after street was littered with the debris of the storm. huge trees, no match for the power of the winds, even though this hurricane had weakened before it reached land. this morning, people gathered to see what was left of their neighbourhood. they kept telling us how bad it would be, and we thought we were prepared.

but you just can't be prepared for that. there's nothing you can do when a tree falls, you know? and this storm has already proved to be deadly. a fallen tree near here was responsible for killing a mother and her child. hurricane florence is powerful, slow and relentless. it's an uninvited brute who doesn't want to leave. while florence is here, some families have headed to emergency shelters, places where they know they will be safe. what are you worried about? not having a place to go home to, or a job. all those practical concerns are shared as florence continues to hover over the carolinas. she's wheelchair— bound, and it's been really rough. i said, "god, throuthesus christ, our lord, please, please, protect our home and everyone else in wilmington." evacuation warnings remain in place, as families steel themselves

for another night of wind, rain and damage here on cape fear. chris buckler reporting from wilmington. in the past few hours the us national hurricane centre has warned that the combination of a dangerous storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters. myrtle beach in south carolina is one of the areas likely to hit. our colleague don dahler from cbs news is there. it apparently happens that the storm, it looks like it's heading just north of myrtle beach. the high tide happened at midnight, coupled with is 18 inches of rain which could lead to devastating flooding to this tourist mecca.

now the focus is more on inland flooding west of here. most of north carolina's rivers flow down into south carolina or the coast and there is worry that those flood swollen rivers are dumping it, which could lead to devastation of the infrastructure, businesses and farms. it could cost south carolina billions of dollars of damage. so that's the situation in the us. the world's strongest storm this year, super typhoon mangkhut, is blasting the northern coast of the philippines with strong winds and heavy rain. more than four million people are directly in the path of the storm. our correspondent howard johnson has been travelling through the provinces of cagayan and northern isabela, two of the areas which are expected to be hardest hit, and sent us this report. we're on the road between isabela and cagayan province,

two of the areas hardest hit by this storm. overnight we saw this area battered by heavy winds and rains and on the way here we saw electricity posts felled, trees ripped to shreds and detritis all over the streets. we also heard reports that there have been bridges and roads closed by flooding and also by landslides but what people are most concerned about are the coastal areas, these remote areas near the seaboard. we have heard the storm passed directly overhead last night and the fear is that the devastation will be worse there. louise will explain about both these weather patterns and how they are developing in the next couple of days, and we will have our own

weather in a few minutes. couples wishing to divorce in england and wales could soon benefit from a less confrontational process, under plans confirmed by thejustice secretary david gauke. pressure for reform intensified after a woman's appeal for divorce was rejected by the supreme court injuly due to her husband's refusal to split. in a consultation the government is proposing removing fault, and the ability of spouses to contest the divorce. ministers are to announce a review of the rail industry next week, following extended periods of disruption up and down the country. details are yet to be confirmed, but the department for transport said it was committed to improving journeys for passengers. labour said it would re—nationalise the railways. the liberal democrats are set to discuss wide—ranging proposals on the future shape of the party when their annual conference gets under way in brighton this morning. the changes, set out by the leader sir vince cable earlier this month, include allowing supporters — as well as fullyjoined—up members — to have a say in choosing who leads the party.

let's get more on this from our political correspondentjessica parker. it's been a tough time for the liberal democrats since they left coalition and i suppose they're trying to work out where they go, how they rebrand themselves.” trying to work out where they go, how they rebrand themselves. i think they have been struggling to be heard and are trying to cut through to voters and conference season is a chance for parties to showcase their policies and the liberal democrats will be focusing on two elements, they will want to remind voters they are the party who are strongly saying they want an exit from brexit, as well as vince cable thinking there are a lot of voters who feel politically they don't have a home anymore so who feel politically they don't have a home anymore so he wants to make it easierfor people

a home anymore so he wants to make it easier for people to get involved and talking about the possibility of the next leader of the party not even being an mp, the lib dems only have 12 mps now so they will be testing these ideas in brighton and it will be interesting to see how these ids go down with voters and also with activists. ariana grande has given an emotional tribute to her former partner mac miller, who she called her "dearest friend" and the "kindest, sweetest soul". the us rapper, aged 26, was found dead at his home in los angeles following a reported overdose. the pair performed together at a memorial concert following the 2017 manchester arena bombing. the american space agency, nasa, is about to put a laser in orbit to measure the condition of earth's ice cover. the satellite mission, called icesat—2, should provide more precise information on the effects of climate change. antarctica, greenland and the ice floating on the arctic ocean have all lost volume in recent decades. this laser should be able to measure

how it has changed and what could happen in the future. that is the news this morning. prison staff say yesterday's protests outside jails across england and wales were called because of the "unprecedented violence" they face in jails. they've told horrific stories of being attacked by gangs of inmates, being spat at, and having urine thrown at them on duty. the protests are off for now, after the government agreed to talks on monday, but what are staff hoping to achieve? we'll ask the prison officers' assocation injust a moment, but first let's hear what the justice secretary david gauke had to say. it is completely unacceptable that prison officers face violence at the levels we have seen so we are working to deliver that, we

recognise there is still more to do but we are absolutely determined to bring down the levels of violence in prisons and to ensure prisons are effective in delivering what they need to do. let's speak now to glyn travis, from the prison officers' association. you acknowledge that in the eyes of the courts, your action last week was illegal, so why did you go so far? the reason we were determined that this was the only action we could take to draw the attention of the public to the problems in prisons and to highlight that this conservative government have overseen they complete the moralising of the prison system and we are in chaos. we have seen unprecedented levels of violence are some of the most horrific and life changing injuries on staff are

taking place frequently and security in prisons is nonexistent. we have seen a game in prisons is nonexistent. we have seen a game changing elements creep into society in general that have made governing prisons more difficult, the prevalence of smartphones, introduction of manufacture drugs like spice, even technology like drones, that are disrupting factors. yes, society has changed technology has been introduced into society and now into prisons, but we have been identifying these problems to the government for the last eight years. we said drones were becoming a real problem and spice was prevalent in society and prisons because it has become a game changer without prisoners deal with spice but people haven't recognised that in 2015 we

wrote to the chief coroner expressing our wrote to the chief coroner expressing oui’ concern wrote to the chief coroner expressing our concern is that spice was causing deaths in prisons, we also identified that the lack of security in prisons made as weak to criminal activities, so when you ta ke criminal activities, so when you take experienced staff out of the system, you have a system that cannot cope, so organised crime in prisons is more profitable than being outside. you said the walk-out yesterday was to tell the public what's going on but the rest for you is that the public say it's irresponsible to have an illegal walk—out, you might lose public support? it's always a difficult situation, the general secretary steve dillon made that decision but it wasn't taken lightly, we commenced legal proceedings against the government and we were given

commitments from the government and the employer that things would change. the inspectors report from the prison we identified as being one of many with real problems, it identified a catalogue of fillings from when they introduced special measures and put more staff in to say they still couldn't cope. it's not about being an old prison, it's about having insufficient staff and about having insufficient staff and a prison population that is overcrowded and we have to address those. let's look at solutions, what are you proposing? you have a shopping list which looks expensive, starting with body scanners, more staff. this shopping list has been there for a number of years. we talk about shopping list, perimeter patrol, so far perimeters are

secure, we used to have staff dealing with those. prisons are covered with cameras. but you have nobody watching the cameras and you don't have please resourced to respond so the cameras become muted. they cannot pick up drones so we need proper security measures and staffing levels and we need to look at the real problem, we are getting more prisoners moved into lower categories too early and there is a cost and we recognised as a union, we are probably at the end of the shopping list for the public, they would sooner spend money on schools and education and health and nurses and education and health and nurses and police and public security than prisons. thank you very much for yourtime, prisons. thank you very much for your time, glyn travis. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather.

let's just read cap on the weather abroad before we look here, because that hurricane, it's a tropical storm now that it's not going anywhere. just to clarify the difference between the two storms we have been highlighting, there were two storms into oceans, won a hurricane, one a cyclone, but florence was a category one when it made landfall but it is moving at such a slow pace, it is a rain event, we will see record—breaking rainfall totals across carolina, we have already seen across carolina, we have already seen 23 inches and it will stay for a couple of days, not pushing into virgin earand a couple of days, not pushing into virgin ear and pennsylvania until next tuesday so we are still looking

at the potential for flooding. mangkhut, which was a super typhoon, made landfall in the northern philippines, it was the equivalent of up hurricane but moved across quickly and then it broke up and weakened as it pushes through the south china sea, expected to make a second landfall towards southern china. closer to home, things look quieter, we have some rain but nothing compared to what's happening across the globe and much of central and southern areas will see dry sunny weather. for many we start off with beautiful blue sky, the cloud will gather in the afternoon, we also have thicker cloud north and west and some showery outbreaks of rain, eventually more significant rain, eventually more significant rain at the end of the day. eastern

scotla nd rain at the end of the day. eastern scotland could see some sunshine, highest values of 20 degrees in the south—east corner, to make the winds will strengthen and push this rain across northern ireland into scotland, it will move south into the north of england and north wales and eventually the south west, so a north—south divide to start tomorrow, against central and southern areas will start off dry with sunny spells and we start this evening with a south—westerly flow but rain will head across northern england into wales and behind that fresher, breezy but the wind easing down with scattered showers. in the south—east we could see 23 degrees in the sunshine. then things start to get tricky in the forecast for the uk, you will need to keep abreast of the weather story next

week because this area of low pressure was the remnant of hurricane helly and it will push steadily towards the uk so it will break with wet and windy weather and severe gales, the track of that could change, but also interesting is that it's dragging in this warm, humid, tropical air, so is that it's dragging in this warm, humid, tropicalair, so if is that it's dragging in this warm, humid, tropical air, so if we don't get the rain in the south we could get the rain in the south we could get temperatures in the mid—20s. that reminds me of one word, bunkers. thank you very much. the occupation of the channel islands during world war ii is generally regarded as a dark chapter in their history. but every so often a story emerges which demonstrates the humanity shown by some members of the german forces. that's what happened when workmen found a box of personal possessions during a house clearance in guernsey. it has led to a very special

reunion. from the channel islands, robert hall reports. a dusty box, from a dusty cupboard, but its contents would transport one guernsey visitor back through the decades to a family story she never knew. a story which unfolded when she was a child. and herfather, dr albert kowald, was among german forces occupying these islands. tremendous character. he came here injanuary1943, he was posted as an air force doctor, and he was posted to look after the luftwaffe troops on the islands. and here, carefully packed away, albert kowald's medical books, his pistol, his cameras, letters from home and photos of his family.

he told us about guernsey, he was very fond of guernsey, but he was very lonely and he was homesick. these are some medical magazines. but albert didn't tell his family everything. since the find, investigations have revealed he risked his own life to help islanders. among those on his trail, a tv sleuth turned occupation historian. the islanders were starving and they were dying and suffering from all kinds of diseases, typhus and so on, for which they had no medication. and albert kowald, against the military law, provided the civilians with a great deal of help. the entrance would have been just here. albert secretly treated his islander patients at the military hospital where he worked. he even helped them keep

in touch with the bbc. he told them that there is a speech from churchill and he invited them to hear the speeches, and it was forbidden. they could have shot him. when albert was betrayed and imprisoned by his superiors, islanders wrote letters in his support. and he had left one last surprise for his daughter. it's very special. and it's your father's medals. those are his medals. and they were left here. i give my thanks to him for his life, because it was, for him, it was a bad life outside, but a good life inside. i am proud of what he did. robert hall, bbc news, guernsey.

a lot of you have enjoyed that story and been in touch, and that gasp when she gets the medals back is quite something. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, it's time now for a look at the newspapers. janice long is here to tell us what's caught her eye. should we dive straight in? the daily mail, our man in tamworth was inspired to turn this dog jumped into a inspired to turn this dog jumped intoa carand inspired to turn this dog jumped into a car and it goes eight miles and are along the pavements of tamworth so he can avoid traffic. what about pedestrians? he bought it for £400 on ebay and fitted it with a caravan battery and at scooter

engine and a sound system and that's how he travels around because he says tamworth is starting to look like a dodgem track anyway. and that's legal? yes, he doesn't take it on the road, but i wouldn't like to be hit by a dodge at eight miles an hour. there is a brilliant picture of these ladies looking at him, quite perplexed. he said he was inspired to make it after having his foot run over by a mobility scooter. this is his revenge? this is his revenge? this is his revenge? this is my kind of story, chocolate isa this is my kind of story, chocolate is a bedtime snack but it might help you sleep. i thought the sugar rush might keep you going but apparently there is something in chocolate which controls the melatonin and

that helps you sleep, not loads of it, but a little nibble of chocolate can send you to sleep and if you don't want chocolate, you want savoury, don't want chocolate, you want savoury, go for foods don't want chocolate, you want savoury, go forfoods high in calcium and magnesium like meat and cheese. it is a myth that cheese gives you nightmares. women are more likely to have chocolate, men are more likely to have a drink. rachel said to me that she had a pork by in bed. does that help you sleep? utterly shameful! but i expect it was good. i'm sure you were also on your smartphone at that time. no, iwas that time. no, i was switching off, this was my

downtime. this is saying that women are more guilty of using their smartphones than looks. they play games, i have never played candy crush but they liked this game and they are addicted and you can be treated for the addiction. some women are staying up all night taking stuff to keep them awake so they can stay in contact with people and play games, the rise in addiction treatment has been 160%. and they are saying last year addiction treatment helped more women than men. maybe women are more keen to come forward. it tends to be women who stay at home or are unemployed, they need to have that contact so they do it with a smartphone. chocolate is good for

us, coffee and cakes not so much.“ you do to a coffee shop in the morning and by your lactate and a muffin, or you want a pastry, you can be pushing almost 1000 calories. that's a huge amount and you don't think of that because you think they ta ke think of that because you think they take as a snack. this lady is a chief nutritionist and says you have to start thinking properly about it and the calories are not necessarily obvious. you were saying about toast earlier, peanut butter on hot toast but jam only earlier, peanut butter on hot toast butjam only on cold toast. earlier, peanut butter on hot toast but jam only on cold toast. in hotels that toast was always cold. but jam only on cold toast. in hotels that toast was always coldlj knew they would be a backlash and people were saying cold toast, never! one says it has to be butter

and marmite on cold toast. what insanity is this? i don't know if you have any take on this, andy oliver, whether it's allowed in your kitchen. you thought we were going to talk to you about foam and jus and all these fa ncy you about foam and jus and all these fancy things! doubled butter, always double butter. always go for broke. our special guest is lily allen. how are you? good, thanks. but for now, tell me about your food heaven. my food heaven is your chicken. it's a long story but that's very sweet, and what about your hellish ingredients? marmalade. i love

marmalade! we have our share, adam by it. i'm doing an autumnal stew with smoked garlic octopus. roasted with smoked garlic octopus. roasted with cocoa beans. and tristan, how are you? i will be doing an amazing tandoori roast quail, quite a funny technique. so showing people how to do tandoori if they don't have a tandoori oven. what are we having to drink? a cosy autumnal red with a perky white for tristan's recipe. you guys at home or in charge of whether lily eats food heaven or food health. you can go to the

website for details and we will be back at 10am. but in the meantime, we arejust back at 10am. but in the meantime, we are just talking toast and pies, chocolate and coffee. we will have the headlines in a minute. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and rachel burden. coming up before 10am, louise will have the full weekend's weather forecast for you. but first, a summary of this morning's main news. five people have been killed and hundreds of thousands have been left without power as tropical storm florence continues to batter america's east coast. a mother and her baby are among the victims. evacuation warnings are in place for 1.7 million people across south carolina, north carolina and virginia.

despite being downgraded from a hurricane, florence is still posing a danger to millions of people on its path, with forecasters warning of catastrophic flooding and life—threatening storm surges. the strongest typhoon so far this year is battering the northern philippines. super typhoon mangkhut made landfall last night, with gusts of more than 150mph. more than four million people are directly in its path and thousands have been evacuated. officials have warned of storm surges of up to six metres. mangkhut is expected to clear land by mid—morning. tory peer lord heseltine says borisjohnson will become the next leader of the conservatives, but warned the move is likely to divide the party. the former deputy prime minister, an outspoken critic of mrjohnson, told bbc radio 4's the week in westminster that the recent slew of negative headlines had not done the former foreign secretary irreparable harm.

has he done himself any irreparable harm? i don't think he has. what you have to say to yourself is, who is the tory membership of the house of commons going to choose to send to the activists of the conservative party in any leadership campaign? and while there is strong opposition to boris, i find it difficult to think of two names that they would send that don't include him. couples wishing to divorce in england and wales could soon benefit from a less confrontational process, under plans confirmed by thejustice secretary david gauke. pressure for reform intensified after tini owen's appeal for divorce was rejected by the supreme court injuly due to her husband's refusal to split. the government is proposing removing fault, and the ability of spouses to contest the divorce.

ministers are to announce a review of the rail industry next week, following extended periods of disruption up and down the country. details are yet to be confirmed, but the department for transport said it was committed to improving journeys for passengers. labour said it would re—nationalise the railways. ariana grande has given an emotional tribute to her former partner mac miller, who she called her dearest friend and the kindest, sweetest soul. the us rapper, aged 26, was found dead at his home in los angeles following a reported overdose. the pair performed together at a memorial concert following the 2017 manchester arena bombing. those are the main stories this morning. we wa ke we wake you up with news of a new british world champion.

in triathlon, achieved by vicky holland in the early hours of this morning. and who better to give her thoughts on the double world champion. helen jenkins was thoughts on the double world champion. helenjenkins was the previous one, now part of the bbc team. it was the perfect race that she ran. going into the race it was between vicky holland and katie zaferes dashed for the world title and vicky holland did not put a foot wrong. she finished the race a second but had a fantastic performance. she came second in the race but over a season she has no world champion. how much more special is that? it is like winning the league title rather than a one—off event. this is over a season she has proved to be the best. she had a great momentum, his won races this year. she would have been doing

everything possible to get to the finish line first and when she crosses and second, you can see the emotion in herface. she had a great season. this was a huge event industry. it is very well supported. what would it be like for her to experience getting that title there and the support from the crowd?|j and the support from the crowd?” love racing in australia because they are a very knowledgeable crowd. you have all the richer supporters out, they all go out and supported the elites. —— the british supporters. it gives you such a lift when you hear that britain voices and the flag. what would it be like for her, what were you going through ten yea rs for her, what were you going through ten years ago in that situation? you have two through the middle seminary —— medal ceremony, drug tests, so you just pretty much we love the

whole race through the night. she has her boyfriend, coach and best friend out there, so she will have a great time celebrating. how are you now? you have now been through your own injuries and coming back after having a baby. i have a one-year-old daughter and had a back surgery in january. i am seeing how it goes. i wa nt to january. i am seeing how it goes. i want to get back to the top level, and get back racing with the girls, but it is a slow process. before the surgery but it is a slow process. before the surgery i wasn't sure if i could get by but i am doing everything possible to give myself the best chance. do you find that you can improve with age because of the experience and tactics? vicky was one of the oldest experienced racers in the field. that experience really helped her today. she knew that she couldn't go with a break in the race, qatar head and came back strong. we are just looking at the fantastic moment when she got the medal. what will this do up for the

sport ahead of the tokyo olympics? medal. what will this do up for the sport ahead of the tokyo 0lympics?l young girl on the podium as well as fantastic, we have such a young team and it will be very hard to make the olympic team. but that is the reason they are doing so well, they have inspired each other and pushed each other on. is that why we are so good at this country and the sport? because we have grown up with trailblazers like yourself? their bradley brothers also have that effect on the women's side, but you see people do it day in, day out and think, that could also be me.” don't think that! and we can see highlights if you are just waking up at home later on on bbc one. and on the red button for the men's final race tomorrow.” bbc one. and on the red button for the men's final race tomorrow. i am really looking forward to that as well. are you getting any sleep at the moment? i have got a one—year—old, so this is a standard day. we could get more british success

later today in the cycling. if simon yates can stay out of trouble in the mountains of andorra, he will ride into history today at the vuelta espana. yates increased his lead to beyond one and a half minutes through the brutal final climb of friday into andorra, where he lives and trains, to finish second. the main thing is his nearest rival in the overall race, alejandro valverde, struggled and finished eighth. he could become the third different briton to win a grand tour this year — that's never happened in cycling before. celtic missed the chance to go level with hearts at the top of the scottish premiership after drawing 0—0 with st mirren. the scottish champions had to play more than half the match with ten men, after olivier ntcham was sent off for a second booking. great britain are level at 1—1 going into the second day of their davis cup play—off match against uzbekistan. great britain went one up thanks to dan evans' victory over denis istomin. it's eva ns' first match back in the competition since returning from a drugs ban. but cameron norrie's defeat in the second singles match means the tie is level ahead of today's doubles. england's netball team have

recorded their biggest ever win over new zealand in the quad series this morning. england ran out 52—39 winners after running away with the match in the latter stages. england play australia and south africa over the next week. there was just one hundredth of a second between kimi raikkonen and lewis hamilton in practice for this weekend's singapore grand prix. the ferrari driver wasjust about fastest yesterday, with hamilton's title rival sebastian vettel only ninth quickest after he hit a wall. hamilton leads the drivers' standings by 30 points with seven races to go. three matches, plenty of sixes and a mascot race — it's twenty20 finals day at edgbaston later. lancashire, worcestershire, somerset and sussex are all in action. the future of the t20 blast competiton has been in the news, with the plans for a new hundred ball competition due to be announced soon. but the 20—over version is still going strong in its 15th year. twenty20 has changed

so much over the years, from just being this almost gimmicky game when it first came in and people just slugging it and wearing nicknames on their backs and funny shirts to what the product is now, which is successful and really good for county cricket. it should be sent out this week that it was on today. the man behind one of football's most controversial mascots is stepping out of the suit. watford's harry the hornet has been criticised for diving on the floor after crystal palace winger wilfried zaha was booked for simulation. palace manager roy hodgson called him disgraceful. gareth evans, who's hanging up the hornet suit, says he's proud and heavy—hearted to be leaving. i'm assuming the horn that leaves one. you will be regenerated like doctor who. they will choose a new actor to take it forward for a new

generation. maybe a scarf this time. like pets on blue peter. wasn't there a dog or taught us they replaced without telling anyone? some of the pets were legendary. i'm showing my age now. i love the fact that doing the football focus productions, they are mispronouncing the team names. this is mark wahlberg, hollywood superstar, who has been giving football predictions to football focus and is not very knowledgeable about the premier league. he is a busy man. he has hanging around on ice chambers to get on with. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the headlines: tropical storm florence continues its devastating path across the us east coast, knocking out power for hundreds of thousands of homes. five people are already known to have died.

meanwhile, more than four million people are directly in the path of super typhoon mangkhut, a huge storm making it's way a huge storm making its way across the northern philippines with winds of up to 160 miles an hour. he's one of the biggest names in rock, and co—founded two of folk—rocks most influential bands, the byrds and crosby, stills and nash. david crosby is such a legend he's been inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame not just once but twice. we'll talk to him in a minute but first, let's take a look back at his early career. # she'd walked on in the garden in the morning after it rained. #

peacocks wandering underneath an orange tree. # why can't she see my? we are already nurturing awaits you. hejoins us now on we are already nurturing awaits you. he joins us now on the sofa. good morning, thanks so much for coming in. how are things? i'm awake. things are really good. i am on tour and being as ancient as i am, it is and being as ancient as i am, it is a great morning. you have lived a life and it would take us more than the few minutes we have to go through it all. what i find interesting is that later on in your

career, you are as productive as you everywhere. this is yourfourth album in five years. i wish i had a good expedition for you. i think it's just that i am lucky with who i work with. i have met and started working with some young people who are still very much in love with it. they are in the initial phases of their career where they are thrilled and excited about everything. i like working with that kind of energy. that is a lot of it. i have been working with some wonderful people. i alsojust working with some wonderful people. i also just love what i do. and working with some wonderful people. i alsojust love what i do. and i've seen, i don't everything in quite the same way. it is kind of like having your own rocket ship, you can go wherever you want. you're not just going through the motions, you are reinventing the words and reinterpreting. to a degree, every night is completely different. you

sort of improvise as you go along and that keeps it a really fun. you have a blast doing it. the buses and no sleep and bad fit, not all that great. people sometimes ask, why do some bands go on when they don't need the money, they are old enough to retire? they love it. it is in your blood, right? it is, and it's a i°y your blood, right? it is, and it's a joy to do. music makes things better. the same weight war makes people worse and brings out the worst inhumanity, music brings it up. i was listening to your album yesterday and doing a long week of early mornings and it was so relaxing and restful. i thought it was quite celtic and it's a sound, which i suppose has always been an element of what you've done with the byrds. celtic music came into american music in a very strong way,

bluegrass is very strongly derived from celtic music. i am brit and irish and welsh and it was a bit of dodge, so it is naturalfor me. we've talked about the heritage, but you're still not taking part in an industry which is changing before our very industry which is changing before our very eyes. we have streaming and download and all that stuff. how are you finding having to adapt to the different way of consuming music? it's awful. streaming doesn't it's awful. streaming doesn't it doesn't pay it. how you kidding, they pay us 0.004 of the dollar, the thousands of the dollar. if someone listens to your tracks... thousands of the dollar. if someone listens to your tracks. .. streaming just doesn't pay us. the result is we don't make money off records any more, which cut their income in half. if that is why you are

releasing four albums in five years? idoit releasing four albums in five years? i do it because it is what i will leave behind and i love doing it. they don't pay us for the streaming, it is thievery, they are making billions of dollars off of my music and not paying me and that isn't right, i'm not going to back off one inch. it is theft. i understand what you're saying. the other side to this is because music is so accessible, it means people now can't find you perhaps one be exposed to your music and earlier music anyway they may not have come across you before because of the recommended suggestions. now, doesn't work like that? no, and it is bad for young people as well. i am established, a million people already know who i am. the young kids can't get a leg up, they can't get started because they can't sell records and get paid. it is a lousy

system. it is dishonest and very damaging to the music world. you say that you're working with young people. who do you want to work with? who is out there that you think, i want to do an album with them? i ran into ajazz band think, i want to do an album with them? i ran into a jazz band called snarky puppy. morel great band, terrible name. he introduced me to two women, two of the best writers, unbelievable singers, fantastic talent, and when i see people like that, i think somebody has to give them a break. what happened to me is that i won't up working with them and they are fantastically talented people. it is a gift to me. over the yea rs people. it is a gift to me. over the years you people. it is a gift to me. over the yea rs you have people. it is a gift to me. over the years you have dealt with drug addiction and your party has paid the price for all of that. —— your

body has paid the price. when you we re body has paid the price. when you were in the thick of that in the rock and roll lifestyle, did you think you would be back here now as you are? no, ithoughtl think you would be back here now as you are? no, ithought i would think you would be back here now as you are? no, i thought i would be dead. i believe i must be the luckiest guy because here i am, i'm really happy, i'm probably the happiest i have ever been, and i am doing good work. as long as you have yourfamily and doing good work. as long as you have your family and work that you believe in, you are really lucky. your family and work that you believe in, you are really luckym isa believe in, you are really luckym is a joy to talk to you. i really wa nt to is a joy to talk to you. i really want to ask you about your hat. lightweight unaided. she is that harsh —— my wife made it. there is loving every stage. it is quite hot in here. but i like it. thank you so much for talking to us. david crosby's new album is called here if you listen.

i suspect his message would be don't strea m i suspect his message would be don't stream it, if you can possibly avoid it. thank you! here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. iam i am showing you a beautiful photograph of essex just a few hours ago. it is absolutely glorious. the cloud will build up into the afternoon. a slightly different story further west, some pretty threatening skies. it should stay dry during the day for you but some cloud further north and west, as you can see clearly. that is producing a few bits and pieces of rain stretching out of northern ireland and into the north of england. the best of the sunshine into central and southern areas despite fair whether cloud in the afternoon. maybe eastern scotland clinging onto sunshine as well. make the most of

it, a change to come through the latter stages of the day. a little bit cooler and fresher to the north, highs of 14—16. we should see 20—21, 75, in the south—east corner. tonight the winds will strengthen, and it will move through northern ireland and scotland. it will push steadily south and east into the north of england and north wales by dawn tomorrow morning. it will bring a contrast tomorrow, they will be more significant rain around. not for all of us. again, central and southern parts of england and wales should stay predominantly dry because that's where the fund will drift out of the north of england and into the north midlands, south wales and south—west england by the end of the afternoon. behind us, winds will start off pretty strong in scotland but will start to ease. a breezy afternoon in scotland and northern ireland with isolated showers in the west. it will be

warmer in the south—east corner, 23 degrees at not out of the question because we are starting to pick up the south—westerly flow. that will be important, tied into the area of low pressure. this is what was the re m na nts of low pressure. this is what was the remnants of the hurricane and it is going to produce some fairly extensive wet and windy weather as it moves slowly towards the shores of the uk. nearly half of next week you will need to keep watching for the finer details of this forecast but the wet weather will stretch into the and further south, we will pick up milder weather conditions into the south—west. temperatures could potentially peek into the mid—20s through the early half of next week. often windy is, some rain at times, but still quite humid. when big brotherfirst hit our screens, it was like nothing seen on tv before. billed as a social experiment, it put ordinary people in a house over a series of weeks with no contact to the outside world —

and we tuned in in our millions. but after 18 years it's finally being axed. we'll be asking the show‘s first—ever winner craig phillips what made the show so special in a moment. good morning. but first, our entertainment correspondent colin paterson has been looking back at big brother's best bits. big brother started with a bang in 2000. craig the builder, anna the nun and nasty nick, who was memorably booted out of the house for illegally using a piece of paper and a pen. sorry i have to say it, nick, but i'm very disappointed in yourself. i not only feel, i'm quite positive and have got evidence that you are plotting a very dirty plan on everybody in here to vote against each other. the third series was the peak of its popularity. 10 million people watched kate

lawler beat jade goody, who despite strong competition, said the silliest thing in the history of the show. east anglia? that's abroad! she returned for the celebrity version in 2007, which made the front page of the new york times when bollywood star shilpa shetty was the victim of racist bullying. the most difficult circumstances to be in, to be without my family, to be with people from a different culture altogether. celebrity big brother also provided a truly awful and yet brilliant tv moment. would you like me to be the cat? yes, please. no—one who ever so it can unsee the politician george galloway pretending to lick milk from rula lenska's tans. from rula lenska's cupped hands. don't be frightened. and while housemate alison hammond successfully moved over into tv presenting, many others found their fame to be fleeting.

at the end of the decade, channel 4 decided enough was enough. channel 5 picked it up, but the ratings dwindled. last year's final cracked only one million viewers. now this new series is to be the last, with no more celebrity versions either. after 18 years, big brother has been evicted from the house. game over, there we go. happy memories, craig? yeah, i don't regret it at all. i had a wonderful time and it has opened up so many wonderful doors for me. i have mixed feelings, it has to end. it has had its day and worn itself out. the format has gone on so many different directions to try and change it and it has sadly declined to the point that people stop me in the street

and they are not enjoying it any more. but people still stop you in the street, and that is a point. we can still remember so many characters in that first series. anna the nun, who was never a nun, and nasty neck. what became of him. what became of him? he is living out in australia next —— my wife and i went to visit him. if you known as nasty neck in australia or does he have a whole new identity? there are lot of english out of there who recognise him. but what he did was soaked in computer brother now. on the series now, that wouldn't even make headline news. and it was so huge because everyone was talking about it. but they deliberately create those problems. it was about trying to stir it up, but back then

it was trying to keep things nice. over the years, when it declined, i think to myself, many people say, what can they do to change it? they are putting people from all different walks of life in there and they are continually clashing because of different things. for me, the only way to keep us alive was to put one whole family are ten best friends. your family? no! but they haven't changed it, just produced a programme where they have a dozen or so programme where they have a dozen or so plastic models and shoved them in and tried to get them to together romantically. in your series, everyone was ordinary, it was a shall shall experiment. we had never seen shall shall experiment. we had never seen anything like that before. now they are all from the same background becomes tedious. love island feels fresh and interesting and if you want to see people

together on tv, that is where you should go. from being the most revolutionary thing, it now feels pointless. does it surprise you that it is going? not really. it has done well to get this much life after channel 4 but it is now moving in a very different direction. channel five have michael pailin, polo grady has a shall on there now, so big brother doesn't suit their brand any more. thank you very much for coming there's a new programme everyone is talking about, launches tomorrow morning at six o'clock. ben and sally in a room for three others. it is called bbc breakfast. enjoy your day. goodbye.
