fell letter, 100 miles apart, and ifell in love with letter writing, became obsessed. i started a website, which became a book and live events. which is moved onto the speeches. and here we are now. i love this story. we should have corresponded by paper! thank you. shaun's book is called speeches of note. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. we'll be back with the headlines in a few moments. good morning. welcome to breakfast with steph mcgovern and jon kay. 0ur headlines today: tough talk, but what happens now? the eu brands theresa may "uncompromising" after she demands respect in brexit negotiations. a country in mourning after more than 130 people die in a ferry disaster in tanzania — a number of arrests have now been made. the plastic problem — supermarkets take more action to try and cut waste. good morning. in sport: ready to fight come rain or shine anthonyjoshua prepares to defend his world heavyweigh belts with bad weather expected at wembley stadium.

a race to the top — we'll find out about the new 0lympic sport of speed climbing. good morning. it's a krill feel across the uk this weekend. sunshine and showers for more northern areas, all the details in 15 minutes. good morning. it's saturday the 22nd of september. thank you forjoining us. our top story. the head of the eu state leaders, donald tusk, has described theresa may as "surprisingly uncompromising" after she made a speech demanding respect in the brexit negotiations. mr tusk says the prime minister has known for weeks about the eu's objections to the chequers proposals and that her tough position is causing the current stalemate. political correspondent matt cole is in our london newsroom. this has got very heated. it's hard to know where it goes next. good morning. it's getting difficult,

isn't it? theresa may came out of that salzburg summit on thursday looking shell—shocked that she had been told that her chequers proposal is named after the prime minister's country residence where the plan was thrashed out earlier this summer, that those proposals were a nonstarter. yesterday she came out much more strident, pushing back, saying if you don't accept these ideas, come back with something of your own 01’ we ideas, come back with something of your own or we won't be going forward. so we are at an impasse at the moment. this morning foreign secretaryjeremy the moment. this morning foreign secretary jeremy hunt the moment. this morning foreign secretaryjeremy hunt has been explaining he thinks the eu needs to step back from the abyss, and therefore come up with more of a compromise. donald tusk says a compromise. donald tusk says a compromise is possible, but a tough week ahead fekir theresa may. she has a cabinet to deal with on monday and then there is the party conference next week, too. thank you very much, matt. elsewhere in politics. the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, has said a future labour government would be ready

to start nationalising key industries from the day it takes office. speaking on the eve of the party's annual conference in liverpool, mr mcdonnell said a new unit would be established in the treasury to oversee the process, and in some cases investors might not be compensated. he predicted that nationalisation of rail services could be completed within five years. meanwhile the shadow equalities minister, dawn butler, will use labour's national women's conference today to outline plans for supporting victims of domestic abuse. she will say the government is not taking equality seriously, the president of tanzania has ordered the arrest of managers of a ferry which capsized on lake victoria, killing over 130 people. it's thought the overloaded vessel tipped over when crowds on board moved to one side as it docked. lebo diseko reports. it is the worst kind of wait.

hundreds of families desperate for news of their loved ones who'd been on board the mv nyerere. and as much as they hope for the best, some are already preparing for the worst. a community watches as the rescue effort continues, but hope is fading fast. translation: we can't reach my brother. yesterday morning, he spoke to our mum. we've not heard from him since. translation: i was told that i lost my aunt, my father and my younger sibling. it's a huge loss to us. this is what is left of the mv nyerere, its overturned hull floating on the water. lake victoria is africa's largest, and the ferry was travelling between the islands of ukerewe and ukara, capsizing around 50 metres from ukara's shore. it operated a busy schedule, taking people to and from the market. and while it's not clear exactly how many people were on board, witnesses say it could have been up to 400 — that's four times its capacity.

it's thought many of the passengers couldn't swim. the president has declared four days of national mourning, and a number of arrests have been made, including the captain, who apparently wasn't on board at the time. lebo diseko, bbc news. gunmen have opened fire during a military parade in iran, killing several people including civilians, state media say. the attack happened in the south—western city of ahvaz. local reports say the assailants attacked from a park close to the parade venue, and that the shooting continued for around ten minutes. we will bring you more on that as we get it. a woman who was taken to hospital amid fears she had been exposed to the nerve agent novichok in salisbury, has insisted her concern was genuine and was not a hoax. anna shapiro and her husband alex king sparked a major incident when they said they had become ill at a restaurant in the city on sunday.

ms shapiro's lawyers said labelling it a hoax was "media speculation". the church of england has decided not to get involved in a buyout of the pay day lender wonga, which has gone into administration. informal talks between the church and potential investors have taken place during the week. five years ago, the archbishop of canterbury, justin welby, vowed to put wonga out of business. the supermarket chain co—op is scrapping plastic carrier bags from 1,400 of its uk shops today, and replacing them with a compostable version. it's the latest retailer to cut down after the government laid out plans to eradicate all avoidable plastic waste in britain within 25 years, as emma simpson reports. plastic waste — we're drowning in it. around a million tonnes of plastic is generated by uk supermarkets every year, and they've been coming up with a host of measures to try to stem the tide. take iceland, where plastic packaging is on the way out. from fruit and veg to plastic dishes for ready meals.

all its own branded products will have paper or biodegradable packaging within five years. at morrisons, you can take your own container when you buy meat and fish, and there are now paper bags, not plastic, for loose fruit and veg. black plastic is difficult to recycle, but asda has replaced it for all its fruit and veg. now the co—op has an environmentally friendly alternative for carrying shopping home. these bags will be rolled out in 1,400 stores. all of the major retailers have signed up to a really ambitious commitment under the uk plastics pact, and that's to make 100% of plastics packaging recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2025. and so, all of them are working incredibly hard and fast to meet those objectives. it's notjust retailers — all businesses are now under pressure to act since the world has woken up to the scourge of plastic pollution.

emma simpson, bbc news. the time is eight minutes past nine. we will have the sport with kat, and alina will have all the weather, that's coming up. when we hear about domestic violence, we often think of a perpetrator and their victim, but what about the children who witness domestic abuse? 0ne charity has been working to make sure schools are informed when incidents like this happen, so they can offer pupils the right support. now, the work of operation encompass has been recognised by the government, which has awarded it £163,000. we'll speak to the founders of the charity in a moment, but first let's hear from a mum who they have helped. her words are voiced by an actor to protect her anonimity. i was in a domestically abusive relationship for 15 years. mainly lots of emotional abuse.

controlling and coercive behaviour. i recognise there was something wrong because it was escalating, where i just didn't feel safe and i didn't feel my children were safe. my children witnessed quite a lot of shouting and anger in the family home. they often witnessed things being smashed or thrown, or swearing, and sometimes they felt scared. and then they ran away and they hid in their wardrobe. as a victim of domestic abuse i initially, until i understood the process, felt guilty, ashamed, scared to tell anybody. would they think that i'm a bad mum? would they try to take my children away? would they listen? would they understand ? would they take it seriously? and so we don't tend to approach people. 0ne story they're voiced by an actor. elisabeth and david carney—haworth, co—founders of operation encompass, join us now.

hearing that story, it is so harrowing to think of what has happened, what children could potentially have seen, and that's why you started this, isn't it? give us an why you started this, isn't it? give us an idea about how you set it up. it started because as a headteacher, a child in my school, their behaviour change completely overnight. they were six years old, i had no idea, we try to talk to pa rents, i had no idea, we try to talk to parents, they couldn't give us a reason, and six years old, he couldn't give as a reason. and nearly four months later i found out from the educational welfare officer who came in for a completely different reason that at the point that his behaviour had changed, there had been a really violent incident of domestic abuse. and i was just furious because i incident of domestic abuse. and i wasjust furious because i knew incident of domestic abuse. and i was just furious because i knew that had we had that information, we could have supported him in a very different way, and i really felt that we had all let him down. and i went home, my husband was in the police at that time, and i said to him, this isjust so

police at that time, and i said to him, this is just so wrong, police at that time, and i said to him, this isjust so wrong, and he knew the police had had that information. and so together, we came up, he came up with the idea, if the police had that information, why are we not sharing it with schools, with the very people who can makea schools, with the very people who can make a different to that child's life the next day? so as a couple, this is taken over your lives now, 0peration encompass. explain to us what it is you do. operation encompass is a principle of sharing information. when the police attend a domestic incident, there is a statute you requirement they keep details of children are present, so the system we have created was that early information sharing, so that prior to the start of the next school day, if a child has witnessed a domestic incident that night, by next day a key person at the school would have been informed, and that support can be put in place why not

why was . why was that not happening anyway? a lot of people have asked does that. domestic abuse is not a crime, said police can't identify a crime, nothing happens to the information, nothing happens to the information, nothing at all, so these children are literally going into school, and we're talking to 18, they are into school the next day having most probably witnessed or experienced the most awful things, and i don't know about it. so you have come from cornwall today to join us here. it started close to home. you now have a grant from the government. how big can this get? although you have £160,000, that doesn't necessarily go that far? the thing is about the hundred and 63,000, it is the most wonderful endorsement by the government that they see the difference that 0peration encompass can make and is making. we are already in 33 out of 43 police

forces in england and wales, so we have been given this money to help us have been given this money to help us get it in the forces that are not yet running 0peration encompass, and work with the forces that are running it and work with the forces that are running itand make work with the forces that are running it and make sure it is running it and make sure it is running in the right way. so how do people get help from discharge, —— from this charity if any schools are watching? they can go to our website, search operation encompass, and there are contact details there. pa rt of and there are contact details there. part of this money is to do that, we are going to contact police forces, visit them, put on briefing sessions for schools and police, so hopefully thatis for schools and police, so hopefully that is the way we can get it out. you both have professional experience related to this. but does it make you angry that this had to come from you rather than from official agencies, rather than from government? because it seems blata ntly government? because it seems blatantly obvious. one of the reasons it works is because it started at the bottom, started with a headteacher and a police officer. people who are at the top don't

a lwa ys people who are at the top don't always understand what isn't happening or the impact of domestic abuse on children. being exposed to domestic abuse damages children. the researchers there. and as a society, we need to treat these children as victims in their own right and give them the support they need. and i think that's why it's never happened before, because people were too far removed from it. i live with those children when they walk through the door. once we speak to people, they get it. we went to the home office, and met victoria atkins, the minister. she got it straightaway was really supportive, that is why we got the funding. you have communicated very clearly, i think a lot of people get it this morning, thank you very much for coming in. i thank you very much for coming in. i thank you very much for coming in. i thank you for everything you are doing. ita doing. it a quarter past nine. let's find out what is happening with the weather. here's alina with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. a lot of this forecast is going to be talking about rain, but let me show you this little bit of sunshine from this morning. a

large swathe of rain to the size of the uk, already bringing outbreaks of rain into the south west and southern and central areas. it looks like the northern extent stretches from north wales across to parts of east anglia. northern ahead of this, quite a lot of cloud and some showers, particularly the northern and western parts of scotland. a few showers sinking south and east through the day, but for many, away from this band of rain, a dry day but quite windy for the western isles later in the afternoon across south—west england, and temperatures generally not much higher than 12 or 16 celsius. we will see some heavy rain here, and that will ease away for a rain here, and that will ease away fora time, rain here, and that will ease away for a time, before it returns across western areas later in the night. elsewhere, some clear skies and a fairly chilly night, particularly for rural parts of northern england where we could see temperatures getting close to freezing. 0n into sunday, more rain to come in similar

areas, but there is this area of high pressure started to build, so slowly the rain will start to ease away through the afternoon, but for away through the afternoon, but for a time, heavy rain across southern and central counties of england and wales, sunshine following on behind, still some showers feeding in across northern and western parts of scotland, some getting down to northern england and northern ireland, quite a cool feeling day. and also some quite gusty winds, particularly as the rain clears away from south—east england and east anglia, you could see gusts of 40 or 45 mph at a time. the rain eases away overnight, the showers fade away, we will keep a few going across the far north of scotland. we will see this area of pressure building into monday, that will settle down and we still have a few showers feeding around that area of high pressure into northern and western scotland. elsewhere on monday it should be mainly dry, spells of sunshine, the win lighter

and overall for most it should be a quiet day, but still cool, temperatures not much higher than 15 01’ temperatures not much higher than 15 or16 temperatures not much higher than 15 or 16 celsius. a cool start certainly in the week ahead, the driest of the weather across southern areas of the uk, but it will be wetter further north, windy at times the northern and western scotland, but overall temperatures rising a little bit towards the end of the week. it doesn't look too bad, which is a relief. alina, thank you very much. when we check our luggage in at the airport we generally expect it to make it on and off the plane in one piece. however this footage has emerged showing one baggage handler at manchester airport throwing suitcases at a luggage trolley in full view of passengers — and it's got a lot of attention online. they are not even staying on the thing he has tried to throw them on. that happened in full view of passengers, and it makes you wonder what happens when we are not watching. what is the point? it has

just gone off the other side. he is creating more work for his poor colleague. but what about the extra work for all of us if we then have to start filling in forms. we can speak to travel expert simon calder now. we are shocked when you saw those? occasionally these things surface. bearin occasionally these things surface. bear in mind that the vast majority of baggage handlers are extremely hard—working, they work in all weathers, under immense pressure. these planes have to turn round in 25 minutes, all the bags and passengers off, all the new ones on, and they mostly do a very good job, and they mostly do a very good job, and swiss port, who handled the luggage on this flight on behalf of ryanair, says luggage on this flight on behalf of rya nair, says it luggage on this flight on behalf of ryanair, says it is very concerned and has launched an investigation, and has launched an investigation, and it will be using this example to remind baggage handlers that it is important to be respectful to people's luggage. and of course we don't expect everything to be handled with kid gloves, but it is

reasonable to assume that it will be treated with a modicum of respect. so if you are one of those people who has a case that is thrown like that and there is damage to it, what can you do about it? in this particular case, because there is photographic evidence, then really if you could demonstrate that you have lost a large amount of valuable stuff, then you should be able to make your case under the consumer rights act 2015, because it hasn't been treated with reasonable care and skill. but generally, the limit is around £1200 for lost or damaged baggage, but the onus is on you to demonstrate that the stuff in there was of value. but how do you do that? ideally, when you are packing, you have a photograph of everything you have a photograph of everything you put in your case, you have the receipt to hand. in real life it's not like that, and there is only one rule i would say, and that is assume when you check in a bag you will never see it again. has it come to

that? the chances are that you will, but you need to assume so that you don't put anything in there that you can't afford to lose. nobody would wa nt to can't afford to lose. nobody would want to see a picture of my packing, it is absolutely terrible! if you're taking flights which involve connections and airports and long haul, it is proving where it happened, isn't it? there could be no end of people who have handled that bag. exactly, and there are long established rules, if you turn up long established rules, if you turn up and your bag either isn't there 01’ up and your bag either isn't there or it is damage due filling a property irregularity report. we have added number of questions at the first item, somebody saying two airlines, bag gets lost or damage, who do i talk to? always talk to the finalairline, who do i talk to? always talk to the final airline, they are the ones who will be ultimately sorting out the cost for you, but yes, if you want to maximise the chances that your bank will not be lost, then don't get a connecting flight through one of the big hubs, that is where a lot of the big hubs, that is where a lot of stuff does go missing. so if the

airline doesn't agree with you that it was theirfault, airline doesn't agree with you that it was their fault, is there anywhere else that you can go? you can claim on your travel insurance, and they will also want quite a lot of proof. it is so sad the stories we have heard, particularly people who are taking hand luggage only, at the gate thereby gets taken away because there is too much stuff, and we have had several stories are smiling at people who've lost cash, lost valua bles smiling at people who've lost cash, lost valuables out of their bag, again if your bike is good to be taken away from you, don't let anything important be in it, just assume you are not going to see it again and plan accordingly, and that isa again and plan accordingly, and that is a very difficult situation, fill ina is a very difficult situation, fill in a report, claim off your insurance, but ultimately the airline will say talk to the police, we don't know what is going on, it is miserable. so anything you can keep yourself, very good idea. thank you for that very depressing summary! stay at home! you are watching breakfast from bbc news. it is 22 minutes past nine, time to

look at this morning's papers. brexit is dominating a lot of the front page this morning. let's have a look at some of them. the daily telegraph, theresa may's statement in downing street on friday. the telegraph reports that the pm may face a "showdown" next week as ministers prepare to call for a "plan b" to her brexit blueprint. the guardian describes mrs may's "hastily arranged" speech on friday as "combative", adding it "spooked the currency markets" and led to sterling's biggest one—day fall this year. the times joins others in describing mrs may as "defiant", saying she "took britain towards the brink of a no—deal brexit" on friday. the mirror is one of the few papers not to splash with the latest on brexit, instead leading on an interview with an acid attack survivor who said she was "pulled from the brink of suicide"

by strictly come dancing star katie piper. katie piper is a campaigner as well of course. with us to go through the inside pages, former editor, paul horrocks. what have you picked out for us? the guardian‘s weekend magazine has taken a look into the future of what the human body might look like, might be able to do, in 100 years. there is little chance of mind looking like that! where is the second leg?|j looking like that! where is the second leg? i think thatis where is the second leg? i think that is just a photograph to get you interested in reading it. because the interesting content is inside where they have asked five leading thinkers to say what will the body look like ina thinkers to say what will the body look like in a hundred years, and there are predictions are for mechanical exoskeletons, the machinery that you slap an outside

your body, a bit like iron man, i suppose. bionic limbs are able—bodied people. global —— brains you can upload, and they said the us military are already experimenting with chipping individual so they could telepathically control multiple drones. is this robots, basically? as the tech world develops, i suppose we have seen more technological development in our generation, probably more so since the industrial revolution, really. what they are saying is all these things are now possible, and companies like google, facebook, all those tech giants, i looking at ways to predict what we will do in the future, but the thought of a brain you can download on some kind of ha rd you can download on some kind of hard drive is quite scary. and in the meantime, it seems we are nicking pebbles from a beach. from the sublime to the ridiculous! 0r

holiday makers of probably taken the odd shell or parable of their favourite peach, but it has got so bad now in greece, on skiathos where the abba musical mamma mia! was filmed that they have now putting boxes at the airport saying please return any pebbles you have taken from this beach. and if you are found to have pocketed just a pebble you can now be fined up to 1000 euros. so that is quite a big penalty for stealing a pebble. but it isa penalty for stealing a pebble. but it is a fair point of everybody is taking one. there will be nothing left on the beach soon, nothing to see. mamma mia! indeed! the times of a picture of this hollowed out oak tree in suffolk. rather surprising story is attached to it, one of the queen's favourites. quite a revelation, gives us an insight into

the queen's private moments. it came about because a photographer asked a lot of people to take pictures of their favourite trees, so the owner of this tree in helming hall, suffolk, submitted this photograph with the accompanying story that whenever the queen is in the area, she might call in for a walk, and she might call in for a walk, and she goes to this hollowed out dead oak tree and apparently shelters from the wind and rain, but often has a wee dram. who has found that out? lord tollemache, the owner of helling hall, who gave a statement. i don't think anyone is suggesting she has left any bottles lying around! no, we are talking a wee dram once in a while! at is quite a picture. and a story in the guardian about julian assange. they have done an

investigation and revealed that there was a plot by russian diplomats to hold secret talks in london last year to try and get julian assange, the wikileaks founder, who has been in the ecuadorian embassy for about eight yea rs, to ecuadorian embassy for about eight years, to help him to flee the uk and back to russia. the plan a p pa re ntly and back to russia. the plan apparently was devised to give him some kind of diplomatic immunity to transport him in a vehicle from the embassy out of london and back to russia. why russia ? embassy out of london and back to russia. why russia? because of course he wouldn't be extradited to the us, and they want to talk to him about interfering in the american elections. further adds to the potential movie plot, doesn't it? and we have been talking about recycling on the programme this morning, about plastic carrier bags and the confusion it causes. we all wa nt to and the confusion it causes. we all want to be responsible citizens, but it looks like some of the plastic items that you think you are

recycling quite properly insensibly, there is the technology in your local council to deal with it. so things like clingfilm, plant pots and takeaway trays, which people think might recycle, are not. they arejust going to think might recycle, are not. they are just going to landfill. think might recycle, are not. they are just going to landfilllj think might recycle, are not. they are just going to landfill. i have got a present for you. one of the leading supermarket has been in this morning introducing compostable plastic bags, which you can use for food. thank you very much. who says there are no presents at the bbc! don't say we don't give you anything. a set where they are very good must be saturday kitchen. matt tebbutt is there this morning. how are you? we are very good at recycling here. the food all goes to the crew, they devoured a lot! you were talking about strictly earlier, it starts tonight. 0ur special guest today is susan calman,

and you are obsessed. a little bit, yes. when newly fair, you want to rush back. i have to get back, to see kevin dunn is his first dance! you are here to face food heaven and food hell. food heaven is my scottish scallops, i love any scallops. hellish, it makes me want to be physically sick, gnocchi. that is strange, because you like potatoes. maybe i havejust is strange, because you like potatoes. maybe i have just had bad gnocchi, but it is slimy and just yuck. we also have to good chess, hannah jones? i am doing a whole baked cauliflower luke dobie style tray baked, coconut, mustard seeds, south indian vibes. lovely. and guinness world record holder theo

randall, so aside from very speedy omelettes, what are you making? sea bass baked with fresh mushrooms, fennel, and some delicious chutney. and jane parkinson in charge of all things drinks. we look forward to your wine choices later. and you quys your wine choices later. and you guys at home in charge of what susan eats at the end of the show, we will see you at ten. susan looks terrified by that prospect! she can't wait. i am going proper paxman on her. she looks like she is facing the bush tucker trial. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and steph mcgovern. coming up before 10:00am — the dawn chorus isn't something you can always hear on a saturday morning in central london, but today might be different. we'll speak to chris packham to find out why.

but first, a summary of this morning's main news. the head of the eu state leaders, donald tusk, has described theresa may as "surprisingly uncompromising" after she made a speech demanding respect in the brexit negotiations. mr tusk says the prime minister has known for weeks about the eu's objections to the chequers proposals and that her tough position is causing the current stalemate. but mrs may says the eu must make a counter offer. throughout this process, i have treated the eu with nothing but respect. the uk expects the same. a good relationship at the end of this process depends on it. at this late stage in the negotiations, it is not acceptable to simply reject the other side's proposals without a detailed explanation and counterproposals. the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, has said a future

labour government would be ready to start nationalising key industries from the day it takes office. speaking on the eve of the party's annual conference in liverpool, mr mcdonnell said a new unit would be established in the treasury to oversee the process, and in some cases investors might not be compensated. he predicted that nationalisation of rail services could be completed within five years. meanwhile the shadow equalities minister, dawn butler, will use labour's national women's conference today to outline plans for supporting victims of domestic abuse. she will say the government is not taking equality seriously, and labour would create a standalone department for women and equalities. the president of tanzania has ordered the arrest of managers of a ferry which capsized on lake victoria, killing over 130 people. local media say the ferry‘s official capacity was 100 people, but officials say the vessel was carrying more than 400 passengers when it capsized. it is thought it tipped over

when crowds on board moved to one side as it docked. gunmen have opened fire during a military parade in iran, killing several people including civilians, state media say. the attack happened in the south—western city of ahvaz. local reports say the assailants attacked from a park close to the parade venue, and that the shooting continued for around ten minutes. a woman who was taken to hospital amid fears she had been exposed to the nerve agent novichok in salisbury, has insisted her concern was genuine and was not a hoax. anna shapiro and her husband alex king sparked a major incident when they said they had become ill at a restaurant in the city on sunday. ms shapiro's lawyers said labelling it a hoax was "media speculation". the supermarket chain co—op is scrapping plastic carrier bags from 1,400 of its uk shops today, and replacing them with a compostable version. it's also pledged to

remove plastic packaging from its own brand ranges by 2020. co—op is the latest retailer to cut down after the government laid out plans to eradicate all avoidable plastic waste in britain within 25 years. those are the main stories this morning. we have been talking about baby names. i'm not pregnant or anything! there is a new report out about the most popular last year. if you do your sports bulletin i will work out who is the most popular sports name. pay attention then. some names coming up... we can start with anthony and joshua, both first names. pretty bad weather expected for wembley later this evening but... the fans are expected to fill up wembley stadium for anthonyjoshua's latest world title defence. he looks in pretty decent shape

too ahead of his fight with russian alexander povetkin. joshua weigh in more than a stone heavy their his opponent. but will that give him the edge tonight. everything aboutjoshua is bigger and everything about povetkin is smaller and it's been that way for 15 years, which makes him an expert at fighting big guys. because every time little alexander povetkin gets in the ring, takes off his robe, he is a bit chubby, and he turns round and in the opposite corner is some man mountain. he is used to fighting big guys. he has a fantastic formula for beating big guys. joshua and his trainer rob mccracken, i can tell you they are very nervous and are wary of tonight's fight. there has been a lot of focus on what might be next forjoshua. tyson fury and deontay wilder will be on a list of possible opponents. they have confimed their fight will take place on the 1st december in the united states. only two premier league sides still have a 100% record for the season — chelsea, who play west ham tomorrow — and liverpool, who take on southampton at anfield this afternoon.

managerjurgen klopp says the club don't expect mo salah to replicate his form of last season, when he scored 44 times. he only has two to his name in six matches so far — but klopp isn't worried. it's really no problem. we constantly have to deal with the new situations. people are very positive about this player, about this player, about this player, and i have to decide, "do i talk to them about that or not?" "do i leave them alone in that situation. do i talk to them?" all that stuff, it's always like this. but with mo, it's fine. so how do you replace alastair cook in the england cricket side? it seems by keeping your options open. after winning the county championship last week the surrey captain rory burns has won a call—up to the england squad for their tour to sri lanka. he's one of three opening batsmen included, with kent'sjoe denly also coming in for the first time and keaton jennings keeping his place. sam simmonds scored two tries for exeter to help them maintain their perfect start

to the premiership rugby season. the england forward is the league's joint top—scorer, as exeter remain top of the table after they beat newcastle 24—17. willis halaholo was man of the match for cardiff, creating two tries and scoring one of his own as they beat munster 37—13 in the pro14. ulster are still unbeaten — but only just. a very late henry speight try earned them a point away to cheetahs in bloemfontein. it was a 10—try thriller, ending 39—39. as we head towards the ryder cup, we already have a europe versus usa contest on our hands, at the tour championship in atlanta. justin rose and tiger woods are tied for the lead on 7—under—par. woods cheered all the way round. rose is playing in his first tournament as world number one. he'll collect over $11 million if he wins. but now, 60 has been broken for the first time on the european tour.

england's 0li fisher shot the first ever 59 at the portuguese masters. he had a tap—in for the lowest round ever recorded on the tour. pretty impressive stuff. so, how many names? it has to be oliver, that's the most popular, 6259 babies last year called oliver. henry at 3246. joshua at 37. anthony, 383. tiger, 12, justin, 73 and there are nojurgens. depending tiger, 12, justin, 73 and there are no jurgens. depending how tiger, 12, justin, 73 and there are nojurgens. depending how you spell mohammed, if it's like salah it is 269, but 1962. there is a reason why. .. you can 269, but 1962. there is a reason why... you can put your name on a bbc site and find out how many

babies were given your name. catherine middleton has taken all the glory away from katherines. you can check that out on the website, if you care. and the re—emergence of kevin. there are 400 of them. we are being screamed at, shut up! keeping with the sporting theme now, think sprinting, but vertically up a wall rather than along a track. speed climbing will be one of the new sports at the 2020 olympics. for britain s big hope shauna coxsey, that means a steep learning curve. we sent mike to edinburgh to see what it takes. it's the new olympic race that drives athletes up the wall. shauna coxsey might be the world bouldering champion, but to win an olympic

medal, she must master all three disciplines, including speed climbing. it's head—to—head, first to the top. and it can be really close, but luckily you hit a buzzer at the top, and your time flashes up. the winner is in green and the loser is in red. so, it's something that i'm not familiarwith in any way, because i've never experienced that before. i've never had to race somebody. for me, climbing is all about you and the route, and now it's suddenly something totally different. but, yeah, i love it so much. it's really good fun. one of the great secrets to shauna's success is that she's got her own finger strength coach. they do workouts on this. it's called a beast—maker. apparently you can hold yourself... laughter. you all right down there? well, that's the idea, isn't it, shauna? you can show how it's done. it's incredible that you've got all that strength in just your little fingers. i do hangs. i can hang off with one arm. 0n the little guys, not very big. finger strength is so vital, because it is your contact with the wall. there's nothing to hold on to, though. and then you've got to take one off.

look at that! this introduction to the olympics has really given speed climbing a new lease of life. there are 50 of these clip and climb walls now across the uk where beginners can simply turn up, race each other up the wall, and get experience before they tackle the more extreme rock faces. you look at this and it's all bright and colourful and you think, "0h, how good would that be for kids." but actually it's so good for adults too. even for me now, i get to be just a big kid again. have a good time, it's really good fun. as you are about to experience. go, go, go. he's gone, disappeared into the horizon! it's one thing having to concentrate on climbing. the other one is trying to do it quickly. almost at the top. not far off, i don't think. if i don't look down... i'm starting to wobble now.

this just doesn't feel natural. finally! pressed the button at the top. how do i get down? just let go! let go, let go! i have to let go here! put both hands on the rope. down to earth. crash landing there. then, when you're ready, you can go up an olympic standard wall. 50 feet up, plus a 7% incline trying to throw you off. and the world record on a wall like this is just over five seconds. wow, they've done it in 12. incredible the way they leap up the wall. and just to show how hard this olympic wall is, look. this is my start attempt to get up. off we go. and, that second—hand point... aaaagh! mike bushell, bbc news, on a bit of a downer in scotland.

0n the floor, well done, mike. on the floor, well done, mike. good try. five seconds to get the top is crazy. we will give a little bit longerfor the crazy. we will give a little bit longer for the weather. here's alina with a look at this morning's weather. fingers crossed the worst of the storms have passed. after the wind and rain, some think it little bit quieter but cloudy in cumbria this morning. but rain is in the forecast, this large swathes of clout to the south—west of the uk already working east and bringing outbreaks of rain to the south—west and southern england and southern wales. that will continue eastward. looks like the northern extent of the rain will be from north wales across to northern parts of east anglia. ahead of this, a fair amount of clout, some showers and some sunny spells in the north—east of scotland. showers across the north west of scotland. windy this morning

and later this afternoon the wind will strengthen across south—west england as well. temperature is not much higher than 12—16, maybe 18 or 19 in the channel islands, but we will see outbreaks of rain here today that will transfer east and then ease overnight before returning to the west later. further north, clearer skies but showers pushing into north and west scotland. a chilly night for the northern half of the uk, particularly in rural areas with temperatures close to freezing. more rain tomorrow in the same areas we saw today. central england and wales. rain easing east all the time, but it could turn heavy for a time across south and central england and wales. further north, a day of sunny spells and showers, the showers most frequent across north and west scotland. the rain easing away quickly through the afternoon, heading east, and temperatures between 11 and 16 celsius. still gusty winds as the

rain clears east from east anglia and the south—east of england, gusts of 40 or 45 mph for a time. this evening, showers across much of england and northern ireland fading. a feud going on across the far north of scotland. the rain easing away and the wind easing down. that's because this area of high pressure is coming into the uk. but this moist north—west feed across scotla nd moist north—west feed across scotland will generate a few showers across monday and further south across monday and further south across the uk it should be a fairly quiet day with spells of sunshine and to lighter wind. but a chilly start and by the afternoon temperatures are not much higher than 12—16. for the week ahead, a fairly cool start but it will be driest in the south and wettest in the north. it definitely feels like autumn now. have a good day. the dawn chorus is something you don't necessarily expect to hear in central london, but people taking part

in a walk for wildlife today are being encouraged to replace the hustle and bustle with birdsong. billed as a celebration of life, it s also a call to stop the decline of many species. nature lovers ? led by environmentalist chris packham ? will head to westminster with a manifesto which includes 200 suggestions of how wildlife can be protected. chrisjoins us now from hyde park. did you manage to hear the dawn chorus there? there was a bit of a dawn chorus this morning. it isn't actually the best time of year. many of our birds have finished singing because they have finished breeding. there are some that sing through the course of the year, notably the robin. we have got people to download this cacophony of birdsong onto mobile devices and the plan is as we walk from hyde park down to

westminster we will have a number of stopping places. everyone will be quiet and we will play the birdsong. it is there to represent the 44 million birds that have gone missing from our countryside since 1966. we are very concerned about the decline of these species and many others. that's what draws us together today, people from different organisations and ngos, anyone with a passion for wildlife, we hope will turn up and walk. and it is a walk, not a rally or demonstration, a peaceful walk with lots of young people dressed up as animals. we hope to have fun as well as pointing out that our wildlife is in deep trouble. we can hear something behind you, it sounds like a didgeridoo or something. is that anything to do with you? you can't blame me for that one. there isa can't blame me for that one. there is a stage here, and we have some onstage talent, billy bragg is coming along. grace petrie. they are

doing some protest songs that i have rewritten. we hope saskia sing what a wonderful world because that louis armstrong classic encompasses what many others feel about our world but we realise it needs to be looked after. we have a whole toolkit of means to make a difference with conservation but we are not implementing it rapidly or broadly enough. 0ur manifesto is a raft of ideas that if they were implemented today they would make a difference tomorrow. we can fix things, but we have to get on with it. we want to do that in a peaceful and happy way today. what type of ideas are suggested in the manifesto? there area suggested in the manifesto? there are a lot of ideas. you might think it's a manifesto entirely directed at government and we are asking them to fix everything for us, and there are some suggestions that we hope they will listen to. but it is also

about ourselves. there are plenty of things we as conservationists can do. and we as members of the public can do things as well. we are asking that schools can be twinned with farms so young people get a better idea of what it's like to be a farmer in 21st—century britain. it's pretty tough, but we have to work with farmers to make sure we have a more sustainable countryside where wildlife can prosper. we need to understand that. we also ask any new build houses have swift bricks put in them from the start because these birds are declining in new towns and cities because birds don't have nesting spaces. we have asked for 10% of all usable parks like hyde park here, be given over to wild flowers. when international headlines dominated by politics, is it hard for a conservation message to break through the news agenda?”

think it's becoming easier, because everybody is becoming more aware of the fact that our environment and all the species that live in it is under tremendous pressure, and we are dependent on that environment. i have mentioned the farmers. they farmed food and we need it to eat. it needs to come from a healthy environment and we have to practice that in a healthy way. we harvest fish from the seas. we are dependent on ecosystems that service the earth and if they are not in a healthy position... that's why we organise awareness campaigns like this. we are trying to send a message out to are trying to send a message out to afar are trying to send a message out to a far broader audience than those who are just interested specifically in wildlife to say the health of the planet is incredibly important and for the sake of wildlife and also our own. i think when people come here today there will be no challenge in raising their

determination to make a difference. for those of us passionate about wildlife, we are really passionate about wildlife! and we can always see that when we get you on, chris! we will stay outside and had to the garden now. a lot of companies and organisations have had to take a long, hard look in recent years at the way they recruit and treat female employees. but the royal horticultural society is looking into an incident of sexual discrimination with a difference. it took place 120 years ago. helen briggs has more. the turn—of—the—century — queen victoria's on the throne, but women still can't vote, serve on a jury, or, as it turns out, win a prize to train as a gardener. this box revealed the prize that had been won but never given for one simple reason — the winner was a woman. clearly a very determined young woman. she's entered this exam, she's done well and she claims her rightful prize.

she single—handedly has sent the rhs into a bit of a tailspin. her name was miss harrison, and after getting top marks, she should have been given the equivalent of £5,000 and a training scholarship, but that never happened. scrawled over a document, the words of reverend william wilkes, then—leader of the rhs, "it was never contemplated that a female might claim the scholarship." although she may not personally have succeeded, she's chip—chip—chipping away at that sense that women can't do these things. if she'd been awarded that prize today, she would have trained here at rhs wisley, and who knows where her career might have taken her. a picture's starting to emerge of the mysterious miss harrison. we know from the syllabus of the exam she took, that she was well versed in all the main principles of gardening, from the names and orders of plants to growing fruit.

and student gardeners say it's hard to imagine women being excluded. it makes me feel very frustrated and angry. i would hate to have been restricted in that way, and i'm grateful to the people who've gone before that make it possible. but we still need to go further to make sure everyone's included. miss harrison paved the way for new generation of gardeners. the rhs wants to make sure her name's not forgotten. they think her family may have letters that can tell them more about her. i'd really love to know what happened next. did she carry on fighting, did you carry on into a career in horticulture and make a living that way? i'm really curious to know what happened to miss harrison, because she's clearly a character and did she prevail? and with your help, maybe they'll finally solve the mystery. helen briggs, bbc news. so who is she? what was the story

and what did she end up doing because she couldn't take the scholarship? if anybody knows then get in touch because the royal horticultural society want to know how the story ended. alison goding works for the royal horticultural society. she's the garden manager at harlow carr, in harrogate. when you hear those stories, that particular story, it is tragic, really. it is really tragic. but it makes me really proud to work for an organisation that has changed so much. obviously things are culturally different back then for many women. it really hadn't occurred to me, though, that that actually may have happened in horticultural training, actually may have happened in horticulturaltraining, in education. so it's fantastic that we are where we are as the rhs today in what we can provide for men and women in the training programme. because the training miss harrison wa nted because the training miss harrison wanted to do is what you actually did. can you imagine being told you couldn't do it because you are a

woman? no, it would be absolutely shocking. there is nothing in the job that i do and that our team do that a woman or a man can't do. it's the fact that she was just rejected outright because she was a woman. there wasn't an attempt to interview her or find there wasn't an attempt to interview her orfind out more there wasn't an attempt to interview her or find out more about her. it was just, we didn't expect this, no, stamp. it is quite shocking, but like we said, it's amazing where we have got to today. 53% of our intake this year in student and apprentice positions is female, so it's good more women want to come into it. positions is female, so it's good more women want to come into itm that changed a lot in the last few yea rs ? that changed a lot in the last few years? it has been a steady increase. now we have the apprenticeships running there are a lot more younger women coming into it. three of our four apprentices at harlow carr are female, and young women, so that's really encouraging.

ican women, so that's really encouraging. i can understand the appeal of the gardening career on a nice and sunny summer day. but looking at the weather forecast in the last few days and looking ahead to winter, does your heart sink and do you think, why am i doing this?” does your heart sink and do you think, why am i doing this? i am doing it for long enough now that you take the rough with the smooth and the freezing with the heatwaves! i think that's part of it. it's the seasonality of the job. it makes you enjoy it more. you go through the really tough times and the snowdrifts. we had that awful weather in 2010 and 2011where we spent a lot of the dayjust clearing snow and trying to find some plants and knocking snow off trees to stop them getting damaged. so it's all pa rt them getting damaged. so it's all part of it. it's the seasonality, and it's a real privilege to witness nature. you have two love it, haven't you? and you can tell that miss harrison clearly loved it but didn't have the opportunity. that's what makes it such a shame. i really

hope she went on to find either employment or training elsewhere, if it wasn't with the rhs. that's what you want to find out. you are kind of appealing for information to solve the mystery of what happened. definitely. what we have in the archives is the rhs communication to her, but we don't have anything back from her to explain who she was, where she lived. she may have some distant relatives who could shed some light on this story. we would like to complete it so we can tell the whole story. we know she had some connection to kent. yes, we believe she was swan lake, the garden of england in kent. we hope there is a happy ending to the story. thank you for coming in to speak to us. that's all from us for today. enjoy the rest of your day — goodbye. this is bbc news. i'm shaun ley. the headlines at ten. european council president, donald tusk, brands theresa may "uncompromising" after she demands

respect in brexit negotiations. 0n the eve of his party conference — the shadow chancellor says labour would completely renationalise the railways. supermarket chain co—op is to scrap plastic carrier bags — replacing them with a compostable version also coming up this hour: a shake up for army training. press—ups and eight—mile marches are out — and exercises replicating the battlefield are in — new physical tests for the british army. she's entered this exam, she's done well and she claims her rightful prize, and she single—handedly has sent the rhs into a bit of a tailspin. who was miss harrison?
