good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and mega munchetty. our headlines today: more patients should be treated at the scene by paramedics. the health watchdog says it could save nhs england hundreds of millions of pounds a year. revealed, a suspect in the salisbury nerve agent poisoning is named as a decorated russian colonel. good morning. out with the old, in with the new. itv launches a new home improvement programme funded entirely by one advertiser. but is it tv—turn off, or just the future of advertising? a moment of magic from chelsea knocks liverpool out of the league cup. watch this from eden hazard, who came on as a sub and scored in the last 5 minutes of the game. and the 95—year—old verteran of the dutch resistance paying tribute to his world war two colleagues in a very special radio message. good morning. it is a chilly start

today across england, not so elsewhere. lucent missed and fog patches for most of england and wales, dry and sunny. scotland and the far north of england seek more cloud and rain, that will weaken as it pushes south. more in 15 minutes. —— seymour. —— see more. it's thursday the 27th of september. our top story: a review of the ambulance service in england has said that it could save hundreds of millions of pounds a year, if it tackled a number of issues including treating more patients at the scene. the report for the regulator nhs improvement warns that unless the service changes, improvements in 999 response times won't happen. currently only two out of ten ambulance trusts are meeting their targets, as our health correspondent dominic hughes reports. ambulance services across england are getting busier. ten different

nhs trusts handle 10 million emergency calls a year, most of them lead to an ambulance crew being dispatched. now a review says some big savings could be made if paramedics are able to trick people closer to the scene. in some areas of the country we are taking more people that gospel then we need to. the effect of that is, people fill the beds up, especially in the winter that we need for other people. keeping that down is the way to do it. that early diagnosis when the paramedic arrives on seeing is the paramedic arrives on seeing is the critical factor in this. the report into the state —— state of the endless service in england found that paramedics are having to work with an ageing fleet of vehicles that will soon need replacing. levels of sick leave and complaints overlooked ling and harassment are the highest in the nhs. there is a wide variation in how trust use new technology to take calls, dispatch crews and even take patience. 0ne idea is to allow england's chris to directly access online medical

information. being able to access patient records at the patient site clearly makes patient care better in the fact that we can make better clinical decisions and appropriately transport outpatients to places of definitive care, keep them out of emergency departments where they are not necessarily going to get the best treatment. today's report says there will be better report by staff and by treating patients closer to the scene, savings of up to half £1 billion of could be achieved. that in —— that could improve response times and ease pressure on hard—pressed times and ease pressure on ha rd—pressed accident times and ease pressure on hard—pressed accident and emergency departments. dominic hughes, bbc news. we'll be speaking to the author of that report at 10 past 7 this morning. one of the men accused of the salisbury nerve agent poisoning has been named as a high ranking russian military officer. the online investigation website bellingcat, claims the man who was known as ruslan boshirov, is actually a decorated colonel who fought in chechnya. this report from jon donnison. he called himself ruslan boshirov when he arrived in the uk in march.

he said he was a tourist. but this is who it's thought he really is, colonel anatoliy chepiga, a russian military intelligence officer. the online investigative journalist the site bellingcat said he was born in 1978. he is thought to have fought with the russian military in chechnya and was awarded russia's highest decoration, hero of the russian federation. using the alias ruslan boshirov, the british government believes he travelled to salisbury with another agent, calling himself alexander petrov. their mission, to try to kill sergei skripal using a nerve agent hidden in this perfume bottle. british officials have not commented on bellingcat‘s revelations, but the bbc understands there is no dispute in its identifying of anatoliy chepiga. speaking at the un in new york, theresa may again strongly attacked russia's actions.

in response, russia said britain's allegations were kindergarten stuff. jon donnison, bbc news. police are guarding a man at basildon university hospital after he was shot in the stomach. the man, who's 19, is in a serious condition. police believe it was a targeted attack and that there's no risk to the wider public. a third woman has accused donald trump's supreme court nominee, brett kavanaugh, of serious sexual assault. the allegations are said to be more serious than those which have already been made by two other women. later today, mr kava naugh and the first woman to accuse him, christine blasey ford, will be questioned by a senate committee. here's our washington correspondent chris buckler. a nominee to sit on america's highest court will walk into a senate room later as the accused, and brett kavanaugh's testimony will be weighed against one of his accusers. in her opening statement to the judiciary committee, christine blasey ford says she remembers a teenage

brett kavanaugh drunkenly groping her, trying to remove her clothes and believing he was going to rape her. all of which he denies. despite this and other accusations, donald trump is standing by the man he once as his next to supreme courtjustice. —— wants. they know it's a big fat con job. but the president says he will listen to what doctor blasey ford has to say. it is possible i will hear that and say it i am changing my mind. that is possible. we want to give them a chance to speak. another woman, deborah ramirez, says brett kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a college party. and a third accuser, julie swetnick, says as a high school student she saw him press up against girls and expose their body parts. judge kavanaugh, what is your

response to allegations? she also claimsjudge kavanaugh was present at a party when she was gang raped, although there is no suggestion that he was involved. he's called the accusations ridiculous and from the twilight zone. this hearing is not a trial, but with america watching, president trump's choice to become a supreme courtjustice knows he will have to subject himself to the court of public opinion. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. the heads of 45 universities and colleges have written to the education secretary calling for a ban on companies that sell students custom—written essays and course work. they say the firms, known as "essay mills", undermine higher education and are unfair to the vast majority of hard—working students. the government says it would like universities to do more to tackle the problem. ten of the uk's biggest companies have agreed to make their parental leave and pay policies public for the first time. it comes as part of a push to force all large firms to publish details of their pay, so that candidates won't have to ask at interview. our business correspondent colletta smith reports. where do you see yourself over the

next 3—5 years? where do you see yourself over the next 3-5 years? is the end of a job interview and you are asked is there anything you would like to know from us? some questions mightjust be too tricky, like asking how much you get paid on parental leave, and how long ball smack while some have decided to go public offer and bats, the liberal democrats want to make it compulsory for all big companies, in the same way that they publish their gender pay gap. this would also require companies of the same size to publish their parental pay policies and i think that that would similarly we too much more questions being asked. in the boardroom and also, frankly, down in the local cafe when people are talking about their employers, about who has the better policy. this could be harder to informant for smaller companies, but if they seek benefit, then jobhunting to parents and potential pa rents, jobhunting to parents and potential parents, might get easier. colletta smith, bbc news.

a square in brussels will be named after the murdered labour mp jo cox today. ms cox, who was killed by a right—wing extremist in 2016, lived in the city for two years as an assistant to an mep. members of her family will attend the naming ceremony. a coalition of leading conservation groups has called on the government to guarantee that nuclear waste won't be buried in britain's national parks. 19 organisations, including the national trust and the campaign to protect rural england, want the parks to be given the highest level of protection, as our environment correspondent claire marshall explains. this is hinkley c, the controversial new power station currently being built in somerset. it is due to stop producing electricity in 2025. it will also produce waste that will stay highly radioacive for many thousands of years. these old, rusting tanks hold

old radioactive sludge. 30 years since the old station closed, no one has managed to get rid of it. currently, the uk gets around one quarter of its energy from 15 nuclear reactors, but the question of what to do with the waste is still unresolved. the only permanent solution is seen as deep geological burial. a government select committee has said that the safest site should be chosen, no matter where it is. this could include national parks. in today's open letter, a coalition of charities says this is unacceptable. national parks are places that are protected for their beauty, for nature and for recreation, and really, major development puts all those things at risk. we can't have the case where the government is trying to justify major development in these places, which are the most important and beautiful landscapes in the uk. the government though says that sufficient legal safeguards are already in place to protect national parks. claire marshall, bbc news. it's been three days since ‘benny‘ the beluga whale was first spotted

in the thames. and whale watchers are waiting to see if he's made his way back to sea. animal welfare groups say they've had no major concerns about the mammal, which was first spotted on tuesday and that he was last seen "swimming strongly" close to the kent coast. let us know if anyone you know is that whale spotting, so we can keep up—to—date on the story. how do you celebrate a milestone birthday if you're the man who has everything? you would know! i know, exactly. me and will smith no. —— knew. —— know. hollywood movie star will smith found a way. he spent his 50th birthday doing a bungee jump out of a helicopter over the grand canyon. he was watched by his family and friends and said afterwards that his emotions went from "pure terror to pure bliss." i assume that was probably yesterday. i would love to do that over the grand canyon. have you

bungee jump over the grand canyon. have you bungeejump to? no, it doesn't appeal to me. ——jumped. a bungeejump, no thanks. a bungee jump a bungeejump, no thanks. a bungee jump from a bungeejump, no thanks. a bungee jumpfrom a a bungeejump, no thanks. a bungee jump from a helicopter, note thanks. it was live television events. you could watch it live on the internet. —— no thanks. you don't really want that to go wrong. you have to have a free afternoon to watch somebody else bungee jumping. have free afternoon to watch somebody else bungeejumping. have you met him? i haven't, actually. were we need to find. who has met him! —— well we need to find somebody who has met him! he was overshadowed by eden hazard. what has he done? watch this. chelsea came from behind to beat liverpool in the league cup. eden hazard's stunner sees chelsea beat liverpool in the league cup. look at that. it was brilliant. they won't have too wait long for

revenge, they face each other the premier league this weekend. manchester city have suffered a shock defeat in the women's champions league. they exit the competition at the round of 32 stage after a 3—1 aggregate defeat to atletico madrid. this time tomorrow morning we will be just an hour away from the start of the ryder cup. team europe will face an american side with so much star quality at le golf national in paris, including a revitalised tiger woods. and one of england's most experienced rugby players is retiring from the international game at the age ofjust 28, a year before the world cup. joe marler says he's quitting to spend more time with his family. and going to talk about that political more throughout the morning, why he has made that decision right now. —— i am a. —— i am. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. very nice? for some it is, naga, but for others, rain in the forecast and breezy conditions. mixed fortunes again. a chilly start across

southern england, not as we go from the midlands elsewhere further north, temperatures already in double figures. first thing this morning if you're setting out, fog around in south wales, southern england and cumbria but that should lift in the next few hours. in the next few days, it is turning colder. yesterday our top temperature was a whopping 2a on the coastline of lincolnshire. by friday, it's more likely to be 13 and that's as i cold front sinks in south. we saw it zooming by there. it's here under this cloud, and this is producing some rain. with it it is producing some rain. with it it is breezy across the far north and north—west of scotland and. this rain will be heavy at times but as it goes south, it will weaken into more of a band of cloud and also some light and patchy rain. ahead of it, a lot of dry weather and a lot of sunshine and quite warm. behind it, as you can see from the colours, fresher conditions. sunshine and a few showers. looking at those

temperatures, you can see what i mean, into the teams behind that weather front but ahead of it, the low 20s to the mid—20s once again —— teens. pleasantly warm in the south in particular in any sunshine. through the evening and overnight, there goes that weather front sinking south, weakening all the time again, not producing much more than a band of cloud with some drizzle here and there. clear skies behind but a shock to the system if you're anywhere from the midlands north, but overnight it has been mild for you but not tonight, we could see some pockets of frost. in the south, where it has been cold under clear skies, tonight it will be that bit milder, double figures. we say goodbye to our cold front tomorrow and behind that comes colder conditions again indicated by the blues. as well as colder conditions, we see a bit more sunshine. drier where it's been wet today with a few showers peppering the north of scotland and the west. here it will be windy, fairly breezy

across being this channel and when we lose the weather front taking the cloud and drizzle, the sun will come out across kent, bristol and plymouth. temperature—wise, down on what we're seeing today with those high temperatures. 0n what we're seeing today with those high temperatures. on saturday, a bit more cloud around with a weather front coming in across the north—west, producing rain, and we could see some showers ahead of it. dry weather in much of england and wales, still with sunshine, but again feeling that bit cooler. a frosty start to the day on saturday, though. 0n frosty start to the day on saturday, though. on sunday, more cloud around again, showery rain in the north and west of scotland and a few showers further south are possible from the thicker cloud. temperatures, 11 to around 17. carol, thanks very much. doesn't look bad at all. let's have a look at the papers now. the mailjoins many other papers in leading on the revelation that one of two suspects in the salisbury nerve agent poisoning has been identified as a russian intelligence officer and former russian war hero. the mirror claims president vladimir

putin gave the suspect a medalfor service. they have a picture ofjodie whittaker in her new role as the doctor. the guardian leads onjeremy corbyn's keynote speech at the close of the labour conference, singling out his message to theresa may to get a good brexit deal. and the independent reports on the drop in the number of rape prosecutions in the last year. a drop of 25%. also pictures of the russian suspects in the poisoning. and the story that has the internet fired up today is that the duchess of sussex got out of a car and then closed the door. let's explain a bit more. the reason it has caught so much attention is it has caught so much attention is it appears that she has closed her own car door, but the power of

meghan markle, the duchess of sussex... ben? you find it amusing? it isa sussex... ben? you find it amusing? it is a legitimate concern for security. someone shuts the door when they are safely inside somewhere in case they need to get backin somewhere in case they need to get back in the car. you've just made that up? if you watch another spy thrillers. that made no sense. if you're getting in, you want someone to shut it so you're safely out but when you're out... —— enough by thrillers. if there's a frack are you can get back in quickly —— enough spy thrillers bash raqqa —— fratus. the simple principle that you get out of the car and you want to shut the car door. it must take a while to get out of the habit. to shut the car door. it must take a while to get out of the habitlj to shut the car door. it must take a while to get out of the habit. i am like that! by, see you! what have you got, ben? —— bye—bye. more mundane than meghan markle closing a door. the end of an era

for the murdochs. rupert is selling his stake in skyfall £11.6 billion. it marks the end of an era, you can see the picture when it launched in 1989, kay burley in a really fetching suit, allison andrew neil, alistair yates, penny smith —— sky for. look at that suit. quite a power suit! i'm not going to say anything because kay would quite happily hit back at us! when was that? 1989. none of us want pictures of what we looked like in 1989. the murdochs' final departure from sky, at some point they wanted to buy all of it because they have 30%, but they are selling it to comcast for full control —— sky. also on the front of the ft. the american

central bank yesterday raising interest rates as the us economy goes from strength to strength, 2.25 much higher than many were expecting as it continues to rise over the course of the year, making borrowing more expensive but good news for us savers. i'm eating into sally's time here but i've got a picture or hamleys in the telegraph, the biggest toy store, already has its top 12. new nonstick east super slime is the picture —— of hamleys. how are you going to get that out of the carpet? —— non—nonstick super slime. we didn't mention this in the bulletin, but give me a hand, the ongoing feud between jose bulletin, but give me a hand, the ongoing feud betweenjose mourinho and paul pogba. this is so funny because loads of people have put... this is then exchanging words in training, loads of people have re— tweeted it and put their own words on. so funny! —— this is them.

tweeted it and put their own words on. so funny! -- this is them. what they are saying is interesting. the mail have done a timeline. the night before the exchange, this is paul pogba in the stands not playing, they were playing derby and they lost. he posted an instagram video, this is the manchester united press officer talking to jose mourinho this is the manchester united press officer talking tojose mourinho in training in front all of the cameras, talking about paul pogba posting the instagram video —— in front of. jose mourinho not happy, he asks paul pogba why he posted it, when he posted it, during the match and was it when you knew we were going to lose? they had an altercation. then the last picture is paul pogba making an obscene gesture in training yesterday, we won't look at that. their relationship has completely broken down. it is now a power struggle, jose mourinho sometimes does this with players, the isolates players, he's done it before. pogba seems to be trying to appeal to the fans. do

you have to like each other to be... to work on the pitch? sometimes it works if you don't like each other, sometimes that's very motivating. there's all sorts of circumstances when it can and cannot work! why are you looking at me? i'm trying to bring you into the conversation, you look very isolated over there! in case you we re look very isolated over there! in case you were worried, no brand advertising or anything, i'm a big fan of salad cream. there was this whole row. you're a big fan of salad cream? i like salad cream on a boiled egg salad. this is rubbish. why is it rubbish? tell us the story first. they made it up so we would talk about it. heinz was going to call salad cream sandwich cream. the star has done a campaign and it has managed to get heinz to overturn its decision and it is now salad cream again, we can all rest easily. i'm

with ben, they were never going to call it sandwich cream! the worst name in the world! i'm glad we got that sorted out! we will see you all later on. a lovely story for you now. a 95—year—old veteran of the dutch resistance has paid tribute to his world war two colleagues, by recreating one of the vital radio messages he sent back to britain. bram grisnigt was parachuted into the netherlands by the raf 75 years ago. he risked his life carrying out undercover intelligence work, as breakfast‘s john maguire has been finding out. he brings all the horrors of total wa rfa re to he brings all the horrors of total warfare to the neutrals in western europe. despite that neutrality, the netherlands was dragged into the wall by the german invasion of may, 1940. a year later, at 18, grisnigt fled his country, eventually ending up fled his country, eventually ending up in london, where he was recruited by british intelligence. now, exactly three quarters of a century

later, he's come to the dutch resista nce later, he's come to the dutch resistance museum in amsterdam, and, at 95, is dusting off mike is more scope to communicate with britain once more. through the crackle and white noise, the distinctive dots and dashes are picked up at duxford, now part of the imperial war museum, but then an raf base where the m essa g es we re but then an raf base where the messages were received. he said it's all still in my head, all still in my fingers. it was exactly 75 years ago when bram took off from raf thames flood just half an hour down the road from duxford to be flown back of a holland and parachute down home once again of the dutch soil, but this time deep behind enemy lines. for bram, this was an emotional but highly significant occasion. he wa nted highly significant occasion. he wanted to thank the raf and paid tribute to those in the resistance who were killed. we will always

remember them, with warm regards and best wishes, bram grisnigt. the agency used of these parasitic radios, no bigger than a lunchbox, and this wartime footage shows how a dutch resistance agent would have sent information back to britain under cover and most often operating at night, it was extremely dangerous. they moved from house to house, location to location, always on the move. pretty frightening really. your life expectancy was pretty short and i have to say, they we re pretty short and i have to say, they were pretty brave, men and women. after five months, bram were pretty brave, men and women. afterfive months, bram was were pretty brave, men and women. after five months, bram was captured and spent the rest of the war in prison camps. this is a photograph of his english sweetheart, anne, and on the back, his handwritten notes about how to operate the radio. they remain together to this day. translation: i've been married for 73 years, he says. my wife always

enfield council say the figures are clearly ludicrous and have arisen because local authorities report fly tipping in different ways. commuters are facing more disruption this morning as the piccadilly line strike continues into its second day. rmt drivers walked out in the long—running dispute yesterday evening, saying there's been a com plete evening, saying there's been a complete breakdown in industrial relations. transport for london warned the action could last until the weekend, affecting the night tube. looking at the travel situation so far, as mentioned, the piccadilly line remains suspended suspected until saturday afternoon because of industrial action. a good service elsewhere. 0n the trains, and amended thameslink service between blackfriars and sutton due to engineering works. 0n the roads, traffic building on the a1 02 blackwall lane towards the blackwall tunnel. lambeth bridge is closed southbound between bill and lambeth palace road due gas mains work. let's get the weather with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. we start on a milder

good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. a review of the ambulance service in england has said it could save hundreds of millions of pounds a year, if it tackled a number of issues including treating more patients at the scene. the department of health says the recommendations are a step towards delivering a modern ambulance service. the report for the regulator nhs improvement, warns that unless the service changes, 999 response times won't improve. you think about it, about half metre be treated in hospital. so, it is a judgement call. so half the people need it and that is where the paramedics are mostly excellent. some things are clear, something she can absolutely do. i think more confident you are in those marginal diagnosis, you do not need to get into hospital, that is the key, that is thejudgement that into hospital, that is the key, that is the judgement that we find in some parts of the country are done very well. one of the men accused

of the salisbury nerve agent poisoning has been named as a high ranking russian military officer. the online investigation website bellingcat, claims the man who was known as ruslan boshirov, is actually a decorated colonel who fought in chechnya. russia's foreign ministry has dismissed the new claims, while scotland yard has refused to comment. government officials examining the potential impact of a no—deal brexit are suggesting there could be a risk of power shortages in northern ireland. documents seen by the bbc also warn that in the worst—case scenario, electricity bills could rise by around a third. it's understood that a formal government notice on the issue will be published in the next few weeks. a third woman has accused donald trump's supreme court nominee, brett kavanaugh, of serious sexual assault. the allegations are said to be more serious than those which have already been made by two other women. later today, he and the first woman to accuse him, christine blasey ford, will be questioned by a senate committee. mr kavanaugh has described the claims as ridiculous. ten of the uk's biggest companies have agreed to make their parental

leave and pay policies public for the first time. it comes as part of a push to force all large firms to publish details of their pay, so that candidates won't have to ask when being interviewed. kpmg, santander and deloitte are among the businesses to have made their policies known. it's been three days since ‘benny‘ the beluga whale was first spotted in the thames, and whale watchers are waiting to see if he's made his way back to sea. animal welfare groups say they've had no major concerns about the mammal, which was first spotted on tuesday and that he was last seen "swimming strongly" close to the kent coast. 0rone or one big story for use. —— one big story you. —— one big story for you. how do you celebrate a milestone birthday if you're the man who has everything?

he is ina he is in a helicopter, there is a rope, there he goes. he spent his 50th birthday doing a bungee jump out of a helicopter over the grand canyon. he was watched by his family and friends and said afterwards that his emotions went from "pure terror to pure bliss." technically, it is not rope. it is a bungee cord. it would be really bad! argue 0k? bungee cord. it would be really bad! argue ok? i am not watching that very closely, it offers me. —— are you? chalet took eden hazard instead? it's he potentially the best player in the premier league at the moment? i am about to show you a goal from last night that might convince you. this was the strike that ensured chelsea beat liverpool 2—1 in the efl cup at anfield to go through to round four. jurgen klopp's side are out, despite earlier taking the lead through daniel sturridge. celtic's pursuit of a treble of trophies for the third season running is still just about still alive after they beat stjohnstone in the scottish league cup. the scottish premiership

champions have had a poor run of form recently, but leigh griffiths' strike was enough for a 1—0 win, and he was quick to go and celebrate with the manager brendan rodgers. hearts and rangers also booked their places into the semi finals. manchester city's women suffered a shock early exit from the champion's league. they were beaten 3—1 by atletico madrid on aggregate. that means city, who have reached the last four in each of the past two seasons, exit the competition at the round of 32 stage. the row between manchester united's paul pogba and his manager jose mourinho just won't go away. with good reason. yesterday they were filmed arguing during a training session. it's been alleged they've fallen out because of a video pogba posted on instagram after the defeat to derby in the efl cup on tuesday. united lost on penalties but pogba and some team mates are pictured laughing.

so, who's side are you on? well, this is some of the reaction from united fans and in today's papers. no player is bigger than the club, "pogba out" one fan thinks, but another says it's the manager who's "disastrous". pogba posted to say the team didn't attack enough in their match on saturday, but it seems many fans agree with him. dan taylor writing in the guardian today thinks it isn'tjust the frenchman who has a problem with the manager, more players feel that way too, and the telegraph argue that because of mourinho's record he won't outlast the player at the club. it's maybe best summed up by gary lineker. simply, "blimey." they knew there were cameras they are! they were filmed at training. jose mourinho knows what he was doing. he has never been shy about criticising the performance of his players. you sometimes hear a manager criticising their team, it is very rare they single people out

publicly. he has done it before with other people. it never ends well. publicly. he has done it before with other people. it never ends weltm will just wash other people. it never ends weltm willjust wash over, won't it?|j think he will wash over, charlie. here is hoping. with hope it ends well. shall we go to happier news? it was the summer when many people fell back in love with the england team.... remember the world cup? good news. and there could be plenty more to come as gareth southgate is staying put as manager for a few more years at least. he's set to sign a new four—year contract which would see him be in charge until the next world cup in 2022. the fa are discussing the contract today and an announcement could be made soon. need more of that happiness. put him in charge of paul pogba, see what happens then! the start of the ryder cup is just over 24 hours away.

europe are taking on an american team that have so many major titles between them, including the 14 that belong to the revitalised tiger woods, but the home team won't be focussing all their attention on him. we are not looking at any individuals, we arejust we are not looking at any individuals, we are just trying to beat the us team. it is great what he did on sunday, it was great for golf, it brings a lot of excitement to the game. i think, to focus on one player is silly, especially when i mightn't even see him this weekend at any point because i might not be on the course at the same time or play against him. we don't need more tiger woods, especially when he isjust one. —— hasjust back at especially when he isjust one. —— has just back at three. —— especially when he isjust one. —— hasjust back at three. —— hasjust won. now, he's only 28 and has played a key role in scrums for england butjoe marler has decided to retire from international rugby. his decision comes less than a year

before the rugby world cup injapan but marler says he wants to focus now on playing for his club side harlequins. you have got to give 100% at something. i don't feel i can give 100% to the england shirt any more and that is not fair on the team, it is not fair and that is not fair on the team, it is notfairon and that is not fair on the team, it is not fair on myself, it's not fair on my family. at times —— the times you had to spend away from them and commit to england. i cannot do it any more. 0nly only 28. a very honest assessment. going into a world cup next year, england players can earn a fortune paul wayne —— playing in the world cup, up to £1 million. of this he just doesn't want to do it any more. could see him to front up about it. 0nly young, only 28. —— good. could see him to front up about it. only young, only 28. -- good. he will still be playing rugby.|j only young, only 28. -- good. he will still be playing rugby. i think at 28, why does someone want to stop

playing international rugby at 28? maybe we should look at how the international setup is spaced out between club games, they all play too much rugby. the time is 6:40 a.m.. for new parents, getting the balance right between work and family life can be a struggle. and it doesn't get any easier when businesses fail to make their parental leave policies open and transparent. the liberal democrat mpjo swinson, herself a new mum, wants to force all large companies to publish details of their family friendly benefits, so that candidates won't have to ask at interview. she's in our westminster studio this morning. thank you very much forjoining us on breakfast this morning. let's be clear, you got a number of businesses which have signed up, pal easy or difficult has it been to get them on board? —— how easy.|j easy or difficult has it been to get them on board? -- how easy. i give tribute to the ten major employers that have signed up, saying they will voluntarily ensure they publish

all of their parental pay and leave benefits on their website. i think thatis benefits on their website. i think that is a great step and i am really delighted that they have done so. perhaps, understandably, it is those companies that have got really good policies that have been more keen to make sure that they get that information out there and were bit more easier to convince. it is great when companies do that and i am delighted about it, but i also think we need other employee, could play is to follow suit. that is why i have a d raft is to follow suit. that is why i have a draft to go fruit so that they can all publish them, so people don't have to ask the awkward question at interview, particularly when we know that pregnancy discrimination is rife in our country. more than 50,000 women a year lose theirjobs as a result of pregnancy and maternity discrimination, so it is entirely understandable why was a people don't want to ask that question, if the information is out there, they won't have to. i want to focus on

the list at the moment. this list, some companies have dropped in and dropped out, what that tells me that even though you have some who have good policies in place, many are still reluctant to show you this. there needs to be lot of work done to pressure these companies. we have worked hard to contact lots of companies and to encourage them and obviously putting them ahead due on that initial list. it is in a good way. i don't understand why companies would drop out.|j way. i don't understand why companies would drop out. i agree andi companies would drop out. i agree and i think so. obviously a lot of large properties have many layers of authorisation for anything that involves putting their name to something publicly. in a sense, that makes the point as why, it is great when done voluntarily, but it is why you need recollection to make it a level playing field. it is a light touch, all this have to have a

policy, even if that is without pay anything additional. they all have to have a policy on parental pay and leave it is about saying you need to be upfront about what that is so that anybody who might consider working for your country can find out that information without having to ask the question. it is very easy piece of regulation, particular success on gender pay gap transparency, which i was successful in delivering as a minister. is open about that and the government has got a role to play in ensuring that thatis got a role to play in ensuring that that is a level playing field that all companies have to do this. excuse me for being cynical, if this is light touch regulation and companies are willing, why only ten? these companies cover a couple 100 thousand employees in the uk, is to start, i have only been running this campaign since bill was published in june. i believe there will be more companies that it is on bbc

brea kfast companies that it is on bbc breakfast this morning and decide they should do this. —— that see it on. iam they should do this. —— that see it on. i am the opposition mp without the resources the government has. i'm sure we can get more companies to do this, but it will be the case that it to do this, but it will be the case thatitis to do this, but it will be the case that it is those with the best policies that will be keen to voluntarily publish and part of the point is used to drive up parental pay so that the benefits improve and it is easierfor pay so that the benefits improve and it is easier for people to juggle work and family responsibilities. looking at the statistics, just 2% of eligible couples have taken this pa rental leave of eligible couples have taken this parental leave offer up so far. what is the ambition now? in terms of percentages and the timescale, in terms of pushing this number up?|j think shared parental leave will be transformational because if we are going to have equality in the workplace, having much more equality at home in terms of domestic responsibilities is an important pa rt responsibilities is an important part of that. we are fighting against financial barriers and

cultural barriers and that is part of what this policy helps to address, by making it easierfor pa rents. address, by making it easierfor parents. as well as the women who lose theirjobs, parents. as well as the women who lose their jobs, that parents. as well as the women who lose theirjobs, that is one of the reasons that a lot of men site, that means that they are more reluctant to use shared parental leave or ask booklets of all working, because they are worried about the impact on their career. we all know that there isa their career. we all know that there is a penalty for mothers in the workplace and even when people don't necessarily admit it, they know it deep down and that is one of the things that holds men back. so we need to address that real scandal of pregnancy discrimination and from an employer ‘s perspective, to recognise that people have lives outside of work and that will sometimes a parenting, sometimes other care responsibilities or other things they are involved in. thing able to move to a more fixable way of working so that people can balance the rest of their life with their working life actually helps with staff retention and attracting new talent is the best for those companies. thank you very much for

talking to us, deputy leader of the liberal democrats. time is 6:46 a.m.. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. a chilly start in southern england but as we go from the midlands northwards through wales, northern england, scotland and northern ireland, a mild start but it will turn that bit colder over the next few days, particularly where it is warmed by day. what we have at the moment is a weather front, the weather front is great across the far north of scotland and producing a fair bit of cloud and rain and that will change the temperatures as it goes south. yesterday in parts of lincolnshire we hit 24 as the weather front goes through and by friday it's more likely to be 13. here's the weather front, producing cloud and rain. first thing this morning we got mist and fog patches in southern england, southern parts of wales, cumbria and that will lift this morning and our rain turns lighter as it goes south across the rest of scotland, northern ireland and northern

england with light and patchy rain by the afternoon. ahead of it, a lot of dry, sunny and warm weather, as you can see from the colours, brenes returning to parts of scotland, indicating it will be fresher for you —— greens. a mixture of sunshine and showers as our weather front is ensconced in central parts of the uk. our highs could get up to 24 in the south—east, but about 14 in edinburgh and glasgow. through this evening and overnight, our weather front continues to move southwards, taking cloud and drizzle with it as it does. clearer skies following on behind, a real change in fortune. mild in the last few mornings for the midlands northwards, tomorrow you will feel the draft, much colder here and there. pockets of frost. where it's being told in the south, with the weather front and breezy conditions, it will feel much milder tomorrow morning. 0ff goes the cold front, cold air filters tomorrow morning. 0ff goes the cold front, cold airfilters in behind to

most of the country and we will all notice the change. there goes the front taking the cloud and patchy drizzle with it. lots of dry weather behind it, lots of sunshine around on frontiere but we'll see more cloud in the north, windy in the north and west of scotland and here we'll see some showers. temperatures between 12 and about 16. —— on the front here. lots of weather around. much more seasonal at the moment. i'm organising my layers this week! the way tv programmes and advertisers work together is changing. ben's been looking into this for us. ben? good morning. good morning. we are used to adverts between programmes. even things like sponsorship. this is a new way itv is looking to fund its programmes. good morning. we're well used to adverts between tv shows, and in the ad breaks. we're also now getting used to seeing products promoted during tv shows. so—called product placement.

but this weekend, itv is doing something entirely different. it's launching a home improvement show paid for entirely by a home decorating firm. it is also a dating show. not sure how it goes together. it's the latest way firms are trying to persuade us to buy their stuff, as i've been finding out. it all began with this ad in 1955 for toothpaste. the firm that made it won a lottery to air the first tv ad. it was a landmark moment, but only seen in 100,000 homes in london and the south—east of england. only seen in 100,000 homes in london and the south-east of england. with mild green fairy liquid. but from fairy liquid to mashed potato, tv adverts became a must have for firms to sell as there will —— sell us their wares. but the adverts themselves have always also become an art form. rather than switching over during the adds, many have become iconic. some evil went

viral, shared millions of times on the internet, like these ads from john lewis. but what next? in 2011, the ban on promoting products during tv shows rather than just in the adds was lifted on and it meant earlier this year, costa coffee and co—op supermarket both moved into coronation street. but last year, tv advertising revenue fell for the first time since the financial crisis, and it means advertisers are having to find fresh new ways to sell as their goods. advertising gold there! cat lewis, is the ceo of production company nine lives media and joins me now. good morning, cat. we are so used to those kinds of ads, this is quite new. what do you make of funding an entire show from one advertiser? it's inevitable that advertisers have to find different ways to fund content, because obviously itv,

channel 4 and channel five are reliant on tv advertising for their programming. but we can skip through ads now, and people do, so as a consequence they've been looking for different models and this is one of them. i was thinking earlier, we are making documentaries at the moment as well as songs of praise, and we've got five of those that are being advertised... sorry, funded in pa rt by being advertised... sorry, funded in part by an advertising group. that is the way... another way the model is the way... another way the model is working. they've got involved at the beginning to help fund the programmes. they are not in anyway editorially influencing them, but they will then part share the revenue when we sell them around the world. i wanted to ask about the relationship there, clearly, as you said, you've got to look for other ways of funding programmes as revenue falls from advertising, but you don't want to compromise your programme to suit the advertiser. how do you make that work? it's an

important question. in this country we have good regulation from 0fcom and transparency is at the heart of that, with product placements on programmes like coronation street, the audiences told costa is helping to pay for the show and the product is being placed. you can then assessed that. the advertising and slots we've always had have been clearly delineated. what we just saw on the screen, the logo, we will see that to tell us there is product placement, the big p. there is transparency, but are people being sold by the backdoor, underhand, or are people used to that? people are used to it, with advertiser funding programming, that is clearly marked out to the viewer. they can bear that in mind. the difficulty for me asa that in mind. the difficulty for me as a programme maker is if the brand wa nted as a programme maker is if the brand wanted to get involved in the editorial. equally, adverts have

been a brilliant place for creatives to start, tony scott and ridley scott, they grew up in hartlepool and ridley is still doing so many fantastic films, they started in advertising. so many issues, looking at netflix and amazon, they have massive budgets. it's difficult for traditional broadcasters to compete with those kinds of budgets? it's getting harder and harder because affective and we have not only netflix and amazon at home, but we've also got access to every feature film we might want to watch through our televisions right now. as tv producers, we're under ever more pressure to bring in audiences and attract audiences to our programmes rather than these other programmes rather than these other programmes they could be watching. we could talk all day about this, cat. time is up, thanks very much for coming in. shall we go to llanelli? thomas

morgan is there. we are talking about conservationists warning the world's wetlands are disappearing three times faster than forests. this place wasn't here 30 years ago in llanelli, they purpose—build the area to revitalise the ecosystem across llanelli. these wetlands are hugely important to help drive the ecosystem and the wildlife. we see so much about the seas and how important they are to our lives, but its places like these that have such a great impact on our wildlife. nigel williams, you are the centre manager here in llanelli's wildfowl and wetland trust, what is your reaction to the report that's come out today? it's alarming, what we are seeing now is a report that highlights what has happened to wetla nds highlights what has happened to wetlands over a number of years, and it has gone unnoticed, people don't

realise the scale of this and it's got to the point where it is quite critical. we've lost more than three times more wetlands than we have forests, so that puts it in in —— puts it into perspective. forests, so that puts it in in —— puts it into perspectivelj forests, so that puts it in in —— puts it into perspective. i no you don't this about 30 years ago, but have you seen a decline in llanelli? —— have been here for 30 years. we've seen the loss of wetlands. as we've demonstrated —— i know you have been here for 30 years. we have created a wonderful array of different habitats, that will help not only the wildlife, but wetlands have a vital role to play in climate. exactly. people don't really realise that. when we think about those areas that have a vital impact on climate, people don't think about wetlands because they aren't as aesthetically pleasing as other areas? it is also flood

alleviation as well. we're seeing changes to the climate itself, lots of flooding and wetlands can alleviate those problems by creating wetla nds to alleviate those problems by creating wetlands to store water. they have an important role to play within our... asa an important role to play within our... as a function really. thanks, nigel. hopefully we will see some of the 50,000 birds that come across the 50,000 birds that come across the llanelli wetlands, they migrate here every autumn and winter. but first, let's get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sara 0rchard. the london fire brigade commissioner is expected to give evidence at the grenfell tower fire enquiry later today. dany cotton follows a number of other firefighters who've already addressed the hearing, including senior fire commander andrew rowe, who said yesterday delays in getting the building plans of the tower to firefighters was a major deficiency in the rescue effort. nitrogen dioxide pollution

in the capital is still more than twice the legal limit. latest government figures have revealed. the environmental law charity clientearth called it a national embarrassment and wants tougher legislation after brexit. the government says there is more to do, but it's acting faster than almost any other developed economy. enfield council has denied their borough is the worst place in london for fly tipping. government figures show there's been over 75,000 incidents of fly tipping in enfield, nearly double the cases in the next worst borough of haringey. enfield council say the figures are clearly ludicrous and have arisen because local authorities report fly tipping in different ways. commuters are facing more disruption this morning as the piccadilly line strike continues into its second day. rmt drivers walked out in the long—running dispute yesterday evening, saying there had been a complete breakdown in industrial relations. transport for london warned the action could last until the weekend,

not lots going on on the map so many places cloud free pretty much all day, lots of sunshine around, a gorgeous autumn day. temperatures yesterday got to 23. today we may even see 24 celsius in central london. pleasantly warm in the sunshine with a light breeze around of course too. 0vernight we are going to see changes. staying mild, temperatures remaining in double figures for the most part. but this cloud coming down from the north is a cold front, and behind it is some cooler air. tomorrow still dry, still some sunshine around but also plenty of cloud. look at the dip in temperatures, 16 celsius, that's where we'll tend to stay on the weekend. we could start on saturday with a bit of rural frost. i'll be back with the latest from the bbc london news room in half an hour. plenty more on the website. but now, let's go back to charlie and naga. bye— bye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie

is about 18 or 19. further north, pleasant, temperature wise we have some rain and it will be windy. more details in 50 minutes. —— 15. good morning. it's thursday the 27th of september. our top story: a review of the ambulance service in england has said that it could save hundreds of millions of pounds a year, if it tackled a number of issues including treating more patients at the scene. the report for the regulator nhs improvement warns that unless the service changes, 999 response times won't improve. currently only two out of ten ambulance trusts are meeting their targets, as our health correspondent dominic hughes reports. ambulance services across england are getting busier. ten different nhs trusts handle 10 million emergency calls a year, most of them lead to an ambulance crew being dispatched. now, a review says some big savings could be made if paramedics are able to treat people closer to the scene. in some areas of the country we are taking more people

to hospital then we need to. the effect of that is, people fill the beds up, particularly in the winter, that we need for other people. so critically, keeping that down is the way to do it. that early diagnosis when the paramedic arrives on scene is the critical factor in this. the report into the state of the ambulance service in england found that paramedics are having to work with an ageing fleet of vehicles that will soon need replacing. levels of sick leave and complaints over bullying and harassment are the highest in the nhs. there is a wide variation in how trusts use new technology to take calls, dispatch crews and even treat patients. one idea is to allow ambulance crews to directly access online medical information. being able to access patient records at the patient‘s side clearly makes patient care better in the fact that we can make better clinical decisions and appropriately transport our patients to places of definitive care, keep them out of emergency departments where they are not necessarily going to get the best treatment. today's report says that with better

report by staff and by treating patients closer to the scene, savings of up to half £1 billion of could be achieved. that could improve response times and ease pressure on hard—pressed accident and emergency departments. dominic hughes, bbc news. we'll be speaking to the author of that report in a few minutes time. one of the men accused of the salisbury nerve agent poisoning has been named as a high ranking russian military officer. the uk—based online investigation website, bellingcat, claims the man who was known as ruslan boshirov, is actually a decorated colonel who fought in chechnya. jon donnison reports. he called himself ruslan boshirov when he arrived in the uk in march. he said he was a tourist. but this is who it's thought he really is, colonel anatoliy chepiga, a russian military intelligence officer.

the online investigative journalist the site bellingcat said he was born in 1978. he is thought to have fought with the russian military in chechnya and was awarded russia's highest decoration, hero of the russian federation. using the alias ruslan boshirov, the british government believes he travelled to salisbury with another agent, calling himself alexander petrov. their mission, to try to kill sergei skripal using a nerve agent hidden in this perfume bottle. british officials have not commented on bellingcat‘s revelations, but the bbc understands there is no dispute in its identifying of anatoliy chepiga. speaking at the un in new york, theresa may again strongly attacked russia's actions. in response, russia said britain's allegations were "kindergarten stuff." jon donnison, bbc news. a third woman has accused donald trump's supreme court nominee, brett kavanaugh, of serious sexual assault.

the allegations are said to be more serious than those which have already been made by two other women. later today, mr kava naugh and the first woman to accuse him, christine blasey ford, will be questioned by a senate committee. here's our washington correspondent chris buckler. a nominee to sit on america's highest court will walk into a senate room later as the accused, and brett kavanaugh's testimony will be weighed against one of his accusers. in her opening statement to the judiciary committee, christine blasey ford says she remembers a teenage brett kavanaugh drunkenly groping her, trying to remove her clothes and believing he was going to rape her. all of which he denies. despite this and other accusations, donald trump is standing by the man he wants as his next to supreme courtjustice. they know it's a big fat con job. but the president says he will listen to what doctor blasey ford

has to say. now, it's possible i'll hear that and i'll say, "hey, i'm changing my mind." that is possible. we want to give them a chance to speak. another woman, deborah ramirez, says brett kavanaugh exposed himself to her at a college party. and a third accuser, julie swetnick, says as a high school student she saw him press up against girls and expose their body parts. judge kavanaugh, what is your response to allegations? she also claimsjudge kavanaugh was present at a party when she was gang raped, although there is no suggestion that he was involved. he's called the accusations ridiculous and from the twilight zone. this hearing is not a trial, but with america watching, president trump's choice to become a supreme courtjustice knows he will have to subject himself to the court of public opinion. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. the heads of 45 universities and colleges have written

to the education secretary calling for a ban on companies that sell students custom—written essays and course work. they say the firms, known as "essay mills", undermine higher education and are unfair to the vast majority of hard—working students. the government says it would like universities to do more to tackle the problem. ten of the uk's biggest companies have agreed to make their parental leave and pay policies public for the first time. kpmg, santander and deloitte are among the businesses to have made their policies known. it comes as part of a push to force all large firms to publish details of their family benefits. all companies have to have a policy, evenif all companies have to have a policy, even if that policy is just, we don't pay anything additional, you get your statutory rate and that is it. they all need to have a policy on parental pay and leave, is that thing you need to be up about what thatis thing you need to be up about what that is so that anybody who might consider working for your company

can find out that information without having to ask the question. government officials examining the potential impact of a no—deal brexit are suggesting there could be a risk of power shortages in northern ireland. documents seen by the bbc also warn that in the worst—case scenario, electricity bills could rise by around a third. it's understood that a formal government notice on the issue will be published in the next few weeks. it's been three days since ‘benny‘ the beluga whale was first spotted in the thames, and whale watchers are waiting to see if he's made his way back to sea. animal welfare groups say they've had no major concerns about the mammal, which was first spotted on tuesday and that he was last seen "swimming strongly" close to the kent coast. hollywood movie star will smith found a way to celebrate his 50th birthday in style. he did a bungeejump, but did it out of helicopter. it was all in aid of highlighting global poverty. tim allman takes up the story. it is an age—old dilemma, what do

what you think are the most concerning elements of your report? —— thank you for. concerning elements of your report? -- thank you for. the key element is making use of scarce resources. if we are able to treat more patients closer to home and were not taken to hospital, there will be enormous savings and an improvement in the quality of care for patients. also, it will make the job more rewarding for those critical ambulance crews that go out there everyday. one of the things people hope for when they call an ambulance is that it gets to you quickly and that those people on board will be able to deliver some form of medical care and know what to do. there are big questions raised about both of those issues in your report. i think, raised about both of those issues in your report. ithink, on raised about both of those issues in your report. i think, on timing, the urgent cases, the endless services does a tremendousjob. urgent cases, the endless services does a tremendous job. the urgent cases, the endless services does a tremendousjob. the response times are not perfect but are very good right as the country. a very high degree of satisfaction,

particularly in those important things like cardiac arrest and strokes. i think also the quality of the cruise. if you look at paramedics, the standing of paramedics, the standing of paramedics has risen recently in recent yea rs. paramedics has risen recently in recent years. they have their own real college, there is a great recognition of that first response being top—class and i think we have come a long way. that doesn't mean there isn't more to do, but we are on the right trajectory there. the reference at raised was about treating ambulances as a taxi service to hospitals. is a key issue. some people who need not go to hospital are present, what people are being taken to hospital which is unnecessarily taking up time, equating to money. the decision to ta ke equating to money. the decision to take people to hospital really depends on the training and the confidence of the paramedic crew. highly trained people, of whom we have very many, will make those decisions with greater confidence

and be able to get the patient in the right place. i think we understand that issue now and we are living in the right direction. as ever, we have to go somewhat quicker to capture those benefits. help me with that. there is a problem, which is that there are not enough trained paramedics, routinely, on an ambulance. let's go through this scenario. you call an ambulance for an incident, what you might hope, being the potential patient, is that the person on—board is epigrammatic —— a paramedic back and make some kind of clinical assessment that name not mean that you are going to hospital or not. at very high number of ambulances carry paramedics and we realise that. as with all things, at some point you have to make a decision to leave you send the most qualified people? generally we do good job on that. there are a number of levels of response, but those first response is generally have a paramedic on board and make the

right decisions in those critical areas. whereas somebody is possibly drunk and is trying to get a taxi ride home, i think it is quite logical we wouldn't necessarily dispatch highly qualified paramedics to deal with that. have we got enough paramedics in the ambulance service? we could always do with more. that is an interesting and so. you can always say that. —— and so. —— answer. as it stands, as the nation is making 999 calls, are there enough? no, ido making 999 calls, are there enough? no, i do think there are our. in running the nhs people have to make priority decisions. with the increased funding that is coming with the national health service, £20.4 billion over the next five yea rs, £20.4 billion over the next five years, some of those resources will go to increase the number of paramedics copy some of your report sounds quite alarming, other parts as you have described, there is a great deal of confidence. given what

you said about the funding coming down the pipeline for this service, are you confident the changes that are you confident the changes that a re necessary are you confident the changes that are necessary will be made? i think the great thing about this is, that as ever, some parts of the country are doing it really, really well. is not as if nationally we don't know what to do. the challenge we face is getting everybody up to the standards of the best. i think we can be confident that we can get there if we apply the right help and discipline to those people delivering the cat. lord carson, thank you very much for your time this morning. worth noting, a little later on, speaking to a paramedic. —— delivering the care. finding out what their direct experience has been. it is a quarter past seven. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. that's a good number, isn't it? about it is for the time of year, yes. yesterday parts of lincolnshire hit 24, today it is the turn of the

south—east. parts of london could hit that number. the average for the time of year is around 18 or 19, so we above average. after today it will turn much cooler where it's been so warm. that's because this cloud indicate a cold front, it will sink south over the next 24 hours. this morning it is bringing heavy rain across the north—west of scotland, pretty breezy here as well. as it goes south, it will wea ken well. as it goes south, it will wea ke n into well. as it goes south, it will weaken into a band of cloud and light rain. for south wales, southern england and cumbria, there's patchy fog that will lift this morning, then sometime before the cloud arrives later, before i'm trying and showers behind. the green hue is indicating sliding temperatures. fresher across scotla nd temperatures. fresher across scotland and northern england and eventually northern ireland, but still we're in this warm air ahead of that cold weather front further south. through this evening and overnight, the cold front continues its descent southwards, taking its

cloud and by then drizzle with it. but hiding it under clear skies you will notice a real change. it's been quite mild from the midlands northwards by the end of the night for the last few nights —— behind it. it could be cold enough for pockets of frost. in the south, where we've had clear skies, it will be replaced by cloud and some drizzle, so not as cold as a result and breezy here by the end of the night, as will be the case in northern scotland. on friday we see the back end of the front moving away, high pressure builds in behind but behind the weather front is a cold front, cold air will stream across all of us are eventually. there goes the weather front, taking cloud and drizzle with it —— all of us cloud and drizzle with it —— all of us eventually. showers in northern and western scotland. here too it will be quite breezy. what a change in temperatures, gone are the 24s, we're looking at the mid—teens at

best. 0n the weekend, a cold start on saturday morning. high pressure really exerting its influence. a weather front coming in across the north—west will introduce thicker cloud, and, again, some splashes of rain across northern and western scotland. further south, we're looking at a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine after a frosty start. temperatures by then up to about 17. a quick look at sunday shows there will be more cloud around, once again the lion's share of the showery rain will be in the north and west and we could see the odd shower further south. again, north and west and we could see the odd showerfurther south. again, top temperature of 17. the weather turning more water on the where it isn't already. has that temperature increased on sunday, carol? by one degree. it was 16. don't take it as gospel because it could go down again in the next run. i take everything you say as gospel! the message from carol is that temperatures go up and down, is that

true? that's absolutely right. i've picked up a few things! no flies on you! see you later, carol! let's take a look at some of the front pages. the mailjoins many other papers in leading on the revelation that one of two suspects in the salisbury nerve agent poisoning has been identified as a russian intelligence officer and former russian war hero. the mirror claims president vladimir putin gave the suspect a medalfor service. they have a picture ofjodie whittaker in her new role as the doctor. the guardian leads onjeremy corbyn's keynote speech at the close of the labour conference, singling out his message to theresa may to get a good brexit deal. and the independent reports on the drop in the number of rape prosecutions in the last year. a quick look at one of the stories

on the inside pages that's been picked out for us. data shows men who raped themselves as five tenths, and women as eight tenths, received more messages “— and women as eight tenths, received more messages —— who rate themselves. if you downplay your appeal, your attractiveness, more people are likely to click on you or swipe for use. this is data from the 0xford internet institute —— for you. ben, good morning! cleaning his glasses! i can't actually see a thing. let's be honest, who were trust anyone, man or woman, who rated themselves as ten out of 10—— who would trust anyone. you never would! are you talking about online dating? i read this this morning, you have to be mr average to be appealing. i would be fine, wouldn't i? is that when we say no? you are

at least a four! what have you got going on? now i've cleaned my glasses i can read it to you. good morning. 0nline scams involving cryptocurrencies and fake tickets are a growing threat to uk consumers. that's according to national trading standards. in its latest report, it says it's made more than 100 criminal convictions to put fraudsters behind bars for a record total of 230 years, but warned that criminals are increasingly using social media to target their victims. america's central bank raised interest rates again last night, the third rise this year, and a sign that america's economy is going from strength to strength. analysts are expecting another rise before the end of the year before further hikes next year. rates in the us are now at 2—2.25%, making it more expensive for loans and mortgages but more attractive for savers. raising rates is often used to stop

the economy overheating. and what do the two words goldman sachs mean to you? to some, it's the glitz and glamour of wall street. to others, they typify corporate excess, big bonuses and the financial crisis. well, it's opening in the uk, with an online bank account for uk consumers. it will pay a higher than usual interest rate to lure us in, but do we trust it? i'll speak to its boss in about half an hour. i think ithinki i think i have made these worse. it is all a bit cloudy! cleanup and we will see you in a few minutes. see you later. see you later. a 95—year—old veteran of the dutch resistance has paid tribute to his world war two colleagues by recreating one of the vital radio messages he sent back to britain. bram grisnigt was parachuted into the netherlands by the raf 75 years ago. he risked his life carrying out

undercover intelligence work, as breakfast‘s john maguire has been finding out. archive: it brings all the horrors of total warfare to three of the fairest and cleanest neutrals in western europe. despite that neutrality, the netherlands was dragged into the war by the german invasion of may, 1940. a year later, at 18, bram grisnigt fled his country, eventually ending up in london, where he was recruited by british intelligence. now, exactly three quarters of a century later, he's come to the dutch resistance museum in amsterdam, and, at 95, is dusting off his morse code to communicate with britain once more. through the crackle and the white noise, the distinctive dots and dashes are picked up at duxford, now part of the imperial war museum, but then an raf base where the messages were received. he says, "it's all still in my head, all still in my fingers."

it was exactly 75 years ago when bram took off from raf tempsford, just half an hour down the road from duxford, to be flown back over holland and parachute down, home once again on dutch soil, but this time deep behind enemy lines. for bram, this was an emotional but highly significant occasion. he wanted to thank the raf, and paid tribute to those in the resistance who were killed. we will always remember them, with warm regards and best wishes, bram grisnigt. the agents used these paraset radios, no bigger than a lunchbox, and this wartime footage shows how a dutch resistance agent would have sent information back to britain. undercover and most often operating at night, it was extremely dangerous. they moved from house to house, location to location, always on the move.

pretty frightening really. your life expectancy was pretty short and i have to say, they were pretty brave, men and women. after five months, bram was captured and spent the rest of the war in prison camps. this is a photograph of his english sweetheart, anne, and on the back, his handwritten notes about how to operate the radio. they remain together to this day. "i've been married for 73 years," he says. my wife always supported me after the concentration camp. she has always been the sole of my life. he saw many friends and comrades die, but his bravery and his actions during the war would have helped countless others to live. john maguire, bbc news. never tire of hearing those kinds of stories. the things people did, the

extraordinary circumstances, great story. lovely story. tomos morgan is at a nature reserve in llanelli finding out more. tomos, you're at a wetland and there are concerns, these are areas where birds migrate in the winter and autumn, and there is concern about how good a habitat it is for these birds? that's right. over the last 45 years, 35% of the world's wetlands have diminished. they are hugely important because these places are directly creating a large pa rt of places are directly creating a large part of our fresh water across the world. in the distance you can see some of the birds who have migrated here, some of the 50,000 birds that migrate to llanelli over the autumn and winter period. this place was actually purpose— build and winter period. this place was actually purpose—build to help some of the ecosystems in the area in an effort to maintain nature and

wildlife. but, as i say, there are concerns that with areas like this diminishing worldwide, there will be a detrimental effect on nature across different aspects of our world. now, we will hear more about this later on, but now let's get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sara 0rchard. the london fire brigade commissioner is expected to give evidence at the grenfell tower fire enquiry later today. dany cotton follows a number of other firefighters who've already addressed the hearing, including senior fire commander andrew rowe, who said yesterday delays in getting the building plans of the tower to firefighters was a major deficiency in the rescue effort. nitrogen dioxide pollution in the capital is still more than twice the legal limit, latest government figures have revealed. the environmental law charity clientearth called it a national embarrassment and wants tougher legislation after brexit. the government says there is more

to do, but it's acting faster than almost every other developed economy. enfield council has denied their borough is the worst place in london for fly tipping. government figures show there's been over 75,000 incidents of fly tipping in enfield, nearly double the cases in the next worst borough of haringey. however, enfield council say the figures are clearly ludicrous and have arisen because local authorities report fly tipping in different ways. commuters are facing more disruption this morning as the piccadilly line strike continues into its second day. rmt drivers walked out in the long—running dispute yesterday evening, saying there had been a complete breakdown in industrial relations. transport for london warned the action could last until the weekend, affecting the night tube. looking at the travel situation. as mentioned, the piccadilly line remains suspended likely until saturday afternoon because of industrial action. minor delays on the overground.

0vernight we are going to see changes. staying mild, temperatures remaining in double figures for the most part. but this cloud coming down from the north is a cold front, and behind it is some cooler air. tomorrow still dry, still some sunshine around but also plenty of cloud. look at the dip in temperatures, 16 celsius, that's where we'll tend to stay on the weekend. we could start on saturday with a bit of rural frost. i'll be back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on the website. but now, let's go back to charlie and naga. bye— bye. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. the time is 730 a.m. a review of the ambulance service in england has said it could save hundreds of millions

of pounds a year, if it tackled a number of issues including treating more patients at the scene. the department of health says the recommendations are a step towards delivering a modern ambulance service. the report for the regulator nhs improvement, warns that unless the service changes, 999 response times won't improve. you think about it, about half need to be treated in hospital. so, it is a judgement call. so half the people need it and that is where the paramedics a re mostly excellent. some things are very clear, some things you absolutely can do. i think the more confident you are, in those marginal diagnoses, "you do not need to get into hospital," that is the key. that is the judgement that we find in some parts of the country is exercised really well. one of the men accused of the salisbury nerve agent poisoning has been named as a high ranking russian military officer. the online investigation website bellingcat, claims the man who was known as ruslan boshirov, is actually a decorated colonel who fought in chechnya. russia's foreign ministry has dismissed the new claims, while scotland yard has refused to comment. government officials examining

the potential impact of a no—deal brexit are suggesting there could be a risk of power shortages in northern ireland. documents seen by the bbc also warn that in the worst—case scenario, electricity bills could rise by around a third. it's understood that a formal government notice on the issue will be published in the next few weeks. a third woman has accused donald trump's supreme court nominee, brett kavanaugh, of serious sexual assault. the allegations are said to be more serious than those which have already been made by two other women. later today, he and the first woman to accuse him, christine blasey ford, will be questioned by a senate committee. mr kavanaugh has described the claims as ridiculous. ten of the uk's biggest companies have agreed to make their parental leave and pay policies

public for the first time. kpmg, santander and deloitte are among the businesses to have made their policies known. it comes as part of a push to force all large firms to publish details of their family benefits. all companies have to have a policy, even if that policy is just, "we don't pay anything additional, you get your statutory rates and that is it." they have all got to have a policy on parental pay and leave, so it is just about saying that you need to up front about what that is, so that anybody who might consider working for your company can find out that information without having to ask the question. it's been three days since ‘benny‘ the beluga whale was first spotted in the thames, and whale watchers are waiting to see if he's made his way back to sea. animal welfare groups say they've had no major concerns about the mammal, which was first spotted on tuesday and that he was last seen "swimming strongly" close to the kent coast. remarkable footage of the moment a seal slaps a stunned kayaker in the face with an octopus has gone viral online. kyle mulindher was paddling off the coast of kaikoura in new zealand when he got slightly too close to a seal preparing its lunch,

and unbelievably the moment was caught on camera. can we see that again the? —— again? had he ever seen a kayaker getting slapped in the face by a sealed with an octopus? —— have you ever. there we go. slow motion. clearly, the sequence of events prior to that is that the seal had caught the octopus, was carrying it and inevitably. do you want to see a face that looks like it has been slapped by an octopus? not me. look behind you. look at jose slapped by an octopus? not me. look behind you. look atjose mourinho's face there with paul pogba. look at that! awkward or what? for those unfamiliar with what is going on, what is going on? these two haven't

gotten on particularly well of late. the row between manchester united's paul pogba and his manager jose mourinho just won't go away. yesterday they were filmed arguing during a training session. it's been alleged they've fallen out because of a video pogba posted on instagram after the defeat to derby in the efl cup on tuesday. united lost on penalties but pogba and some team mates are pictured laughing. so who's side are you on? well, this is some of the reaction from united fans and in today's papers. no player is bigger than the club, "pogba out" one fan thinks, but another says it's the manager who's "disastrous". on saturday, but it seems many fans agree with him. —— pogba posted to say the team didn't attack enough in their match on saturday, but it seems many fans agree with him. dan taylor writing in the guardian today thinks it isn'tjust the frenchman who has a problem with the manager,

more players feel that way too, and the telegraph argue that because of mourinho's record he won't outlast the player at the club. it's maybe the reaction to the video is best summed up by gary lineker. simply, "blimey." both men, i think are appealing to the fans at the moment. marini is obviously saying things that are targeted to united fans. —— jose mourinho. so is paul pogba, saying that the team needs to attack.|j have a theory. you said earlier, a press officer was there. they knew the cameras were there, i thinkjose mourinho was basically saying i am not putting up with this nonsense, you can see that i won't put up with this nonsense. and that camera over there will record me not putting up with it. eden hazard scored a cracker of a goal last night. this was the strike that ensured chelsea beat liverpool 2—1 in the efl cup at anfield to go

through to round four. jurgen klopp's side are out, despite earlier taking the lead through daniel sturridge. elsewhere, their were wins for arsenal, tottenham and west ham beat league two macclesfield 8—0. celtic's pursuit of a treble of trophies for the third season running is stilljust about still alive, after they beat stjohnstone in the scottish league cup. the scottish premiership champions have had a poor run of form recently but leigh griffiths' strike was enough for a 1—0 win, and he was quick to go and celebrate with the manager brendan rodgers. hearts and rangers also booked their places into the semi finals. manchester city's women suffered a shock early exit from the champion's league. they were beaten 3—1 by atletico madrid on aggregate. that means city, who have reached the last four in each of the past two seasons, exit the competition at the round of 32 stage. this time tomorrow the first

pairings will be on the course at le golf nationaljust outside of paris for the start of the ryder cup. europe are taking on an american team that have so many major titles between them, including the 14 that belong to the revitalised tiger woods, but the home team won't be focussing all their attention on him. we are not looking at any individuals, we are just trying to beat the us team. it is great what he did on sunday, it was great for golf, it brings a lot of excitement to the game. i think, to focus on one player is silly, especially when i mightn't even see him this week at any point because i might not be on the course with him or play against him. that is what they are saying. now he's only 28 and has played a key role in scrums for england, butjoe marler has decided to retire from international rugby. his decision comes less than a year before the rugby world cup injapan but marler says he wants to focus now on playing for his club side harlequins.

you have got to give 100% at something. i don't feel i can give 100% to the england shirt any more and that is not fair on the team, it is not fair on myself, it's not fair on my family. the amount of time you have to spend away from them and commit to england. i can't do it any more. really sad to see that. i understand his reasons behind it, he is only 28! that a man's are just too great. —— that the man's. —— the demands. the time is 7:39 a.m.. we're going to take a look at a story you might find distressing, when a video emerged of a group of soldiers in west africa shooting dead two women and two young children. it prompted a forensic investigation by the bbc‘s africa eye programme, to try and establish

exactly what had happened. their attempt to get to the truth has now gone viral on social media. we'rejoined now by aliaume leroy, who's a journalist with bbc news africa, to talk us through theirfindings. good morning. first of all, the appeared, video why was it so interesting? when nvidia went viral, it went viral on social media platforms and it sparked a debate, people saying that the killings happen in cameroon or mali. 0ne facebook users saying this. we had to establish the fact, what is the truth? even more so after the government of cameroon made a statement saying that the video, they dismissed it as fake news. we have a situation where

people have seen the video and the cameron government are in complete denial. you started a process of trying to identify some of the elements that are seen in the video and he started off by looking at the area, the place itself. exactly. we had a few clues, what the soldiers we re had a few clues, what the soldiers were wearing and the fact that it said it took place in the far north of cameroon. we had a specific mountain ridge lying, we look, to the far north of it is a region in cameroon, we looked on google earth on every single mountain ridge line, to see if we can match it to what we had. that is hours of work and quite rigid efforts with —— collaborative effo rts rigid efforts with —— collaborative efforts with analysts at the bbc. you have the ridge, you have to

focus on one area, howell was that done? the ridge is one piece of evidence, it might be wrong with the topographic. we had to look at every image of satellite imagery and were looking at the general area, that is what we did. you see this track we had on the video, same with buildings and also, with this tree. these are a few examples that we show for the video that can confirm every single tree, every single video we saw in the building we could match to satellite imagery. that will also help you ascertain what time. that's right. when you approach this, the first question to verify is where, once you have where it is easy to go forward, when the event happened. that is what we work out. first satellite imagery of the building and then we did a solar and analysis, looking at the shadow of the soldier that we see on the left,

by simple mathematics formulas, it gave us the angle of the sun, that would give us a very specific time that the killings happened between march 20 and april five. that is the example of that angle. ok. that is about the where, still questions over who? how could you clarify that any further? for that, we had different layers of evidence to the three men that we saw actually pull the trigger. 0ne three men that we saw actually pull the trigger. one was a statement made by the government of cameroon in august, saying that they arrested seven men so there were listed names of men and we could match those names that evidence we found on social media, on proof —— on facebook, on a profile of one of the soldiers. and we had a former cameroonian soldiers who confirmed their identity. do we know why?

wa nts you their identity. do we know why? wants you get the facts, is important to understand why someone so brutal... in the video they accused the children and the woman of being a part of boko haram, the government is fighting against them. we suspect that is the reason, but we could not find more information. there are two parts to this. one is establishing what happened, in this particular instance, but also an issue in relation to governments calling something that news and thinking they can get away with it without the investigation that he followed without the investigation that he followe d u p without the investigation that he followed up with a. is really important to have those, to verify claims made by government. —— it is. it is very important that citizens verify that information. the tools that we use of open source investigations, anyone can do such verification. thank you so much.

fascinating. the time is 7:45 a.m.. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. yesterday the top temperature was in lincolnshire at 24. today we're likely to see this again, but somewhere in the south—east, around the london area. the average in london at this time of the year is 18 or19, so london at this time of the year is 18 or 19, so we're well above it. todayis 18 or 19, so we're well above it. today is the last day because temperatures are coming down because we have a cold weather front here which is producing a lot of cloud and rain at the moment in north—west scotland. as that goes south through the day, you will find it won't be much more than a band of cloud and patchy light rain. behind it, sunshine and showers and fresher. ahead of it, where we lose patchy mist and fog from south wales and southern england, a dry, sunny and warm day, as denoted by the ambers but fresher conditions indicated by the greens and yellows coming our

way across the north. temperature values, 11—15 in the north, but ahead of the weather front, up to 24. through this evening and overnight, our weather front continues its descent, moving southwards, by then it's not much more than a band of cloud and drizzle. clea rs more than a band of cloud and drizzle. clears bell's follow—on behind, a colder night in scotland, northern ireland and northern england and you've been used to 0blak. whereas it's a much milder night further south than what you've been used to of late —— clear spells. it moves away to the near continent, taking cloud and drizzle with it, and a cold weatherfront, remember, so in comes the cold air across remember, so in comes the cold air a cross m ost remember, so in comes the cold air across most of the uk. as this clears away from the south coast, a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine but a bit more cloud coming in across north—west pollen will introduce showers here. it's also going to be breezy, as it will be in the south of england, especially in the south of england, especially in the channel. the main thing you'll

notice is the drop in temperatures. heading on into the weekend, high pressure still very much in charge. still windy in the north with weather fronts trying to break into the north—west, introducing a bit more cloud and also some rain. the further south you travel on saturday, the drier and brighter it's likely to be with highs of 16-17. a it's likely to be with highs of 16—17. a quick look at sunday, a bit more cloud around. again, showery outbreaks in the north. a few showers possible in england and wales, and temperatures similar to what we're looking at on saturday. charlie and naga, next week for some, temperatures below average, so allup and some, temperatures below average, so all up and down. higgledy—piggledy is what it looks like a. good meteorologicalterm, naga. i think it's an excellent term. take it as my gift! thank you! see you later, carol. a big name in us banking is trying to take on the likes of barclays and natwest here in the uk for the first time. ben's got more on this.

ben? good morning. thanks very much. that's right. we're talking about goldman sachs. they made their name investing in big companies, rather than individuals, but got burnt by the global financial crisis and lost a lot of money and reputation. today's launch is all about changing that. they're launching they‘ re launching a they're launching a bank account online in the uk, and it will pay a slightly higher interest rate than you might be used to on the high street. des mcdaid is the managing director of marcus by goldman sachs in the uk and joins us now. good morning, des. morning. you're launching this online bank account today and in the uk, why now and why in the uk? we've been operating for 149 years and for the last two years we've offered retail banking in the us, loa ns, offered retail banking in the us, loans, savings and financial management and that's been really successful. that's because people are using technology to manage their lives and money, but they don't manage their money well so we think

of $10 billion from the us treasury. the us attorney general described the bank as serious misconduct, you sold mortgages you knew were likely to file. why would i trust you with my money given that track record you had during the financial crisis —— to fail. there's no doubt goldman sachs, along with many banks, learned during the global financial crisis and had to change. but at the same time, what we have learned is simple products. we are offering a simple products. we are offering a simple savings account with no catches, no fees, you can move your money when you like and you can start with £1. that transparency and simplicity will make us successful, and that's why you can trust us. in the uk we talking about the individual personal debt we are racking up, it's at record levels, is it another financial crisis about to happen, how much we have on our collective credit cards? to happen, how much we have on our collective credit ca rds?|j to happen, how much we have on our collective credit cards? i think having good financial health for any individual is really important. for

morning. unfortunately the mist has come, you can't see the migratory geesein come, you can't see the migratory geese in the waters just behind there, we just missed them, a beautiful sight, they flew over. this is one of the areas across the uk that's so important to wildlife across the world, because wetlands have a huge contribution to make two worldwide freshwater consumption. year—on—year, they are diminishing across the world, which is having a detrimental affect on all major cash to make to. you're the reserve manager in llanelli, what have you made here and what changes have you seen “— made here and what changes have you seen —— to make to. made here and what changes have you seen -- to make to. over the last couple of years we've lost half the area of salt marsh, which is an important habitat here. the sea wall was built for flood defence. the wetland inside is a bit of a wasteland really, and it was drained and used for industry and farming.

now, because of that wall, we're finding the climate change affects on sea level are really squeezing the salt marsh habitat. we're also suffering the effects of invasive species in the wetlands here. plants and animals that have been introduced from around the world that are threatening local wildlife. pollution as well. you've seen a massive difference in the types of birds that actually migrate here over the years and their numbers as well, haven't you? that's right. climate change seems to be really shuffling things around here. we've seen big declines as people are seeing around the uk and worldwide in some species. wading birds like redshank and others are really declining. but other species are showing up that we didn't used to say, things like egrets from the mediterranean. mediterranean guls and we're expecting to see a bit

more of that as well. it is strange, we are looking out here today with the mist, and there's an eerie natural beauty, but at the same time, it's not the typical area that people would first think of when they think of places that are so integral towards the ecosystem and our nature? that's right. they're really special habitats. when you think of them from a human perspective, the saltmarsh here is doing a really importantjob perspective, the saltmarsh here is doing a really important job for perspective, the saltmarsh here is doing a really importantjob for us by buffering us against flooding —— sold marsh. and it absorb the energy from big storms —— saltmarsh. the freshwater wetlands on the other side are taking water from sewage treatment works, removing the nitrates and phosphates and cleaning the water and providing an amazing habitat for wildlife at the same time. thank you very much. hopefully when the mist clears we can see some of the beautiful birds that migrate to llanelli over this autumn and

winter period. but for now, let's get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sara 0rchard. the london fire brigade commissioner is expected to give evidence at the grenfell tower fire enquiry later today. dany cotton follows a number of other firefighters who've already addressed the hearing, including senior fire commander andrew rowe, who said yesterday delays in getting the building plans of the tower to firefighters was a major deficiency in the rescue effort. nitrogen dioxide pollution in the capital is still more than twice the legal limit, latest government figures have revealed. the environmental law charity clientearth called it a national embarrassment and wants tougher legislation after brexit. the government says there is more to do, but it's acting faster than almost every other developed economy. enfield council has denied their borough is the worst place in london for fly tipping. government figures show there's been over 75,000 incidents of fly tipping in enfield, nearly double

the cases in the next worst borough of haringey. however, enfield council say the figures are clearly ludicrous and have arisen because local authorities report fly tipping in different ways. commuters are facing more disruption this morning as the piccadilly line strike continues into its second day. rmt drivers walked out in the long—running dispute yesterday evening, saying there had been a complete breakdown in industrial relations. transport for london warned the action could last until the weekend, affecting the night tube. looking at the travel situation, as mentioned, the piccadilly line remains suspended likely until saturday afternoon because of industrial action. minor delays on the 0verground. 0n the trains, an amended thameslink service between blackfriars and sutton due to engineering works. no service on london north western railway between watford junction and st albans abbey due to a faulty train. slow

look at the dip in temperatures, 16 celsius, that's where we'll tend to stay on the weekend. we could start on saturday with a bit of rural frost. i'll be back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on the website. but now, let's go back to charlie and naga. bye— bye. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today: more patients should be treated at the scene by paramedics. the health watchdog says it could save nhs england hundreds of millions of pounds a year. revealed — a suspect in the salisbury nerve agent poisoning is named as a decorated russian colonel. we'll have the latest reaction from moscow. good morning. wall street ta kes on our high street. the us investment giant goldman sachs launches a uk bank account, but will we trust

a review of the ambulance service in england has said that it could save hundreds of millions of pounds a year if it tackled a number of issues including treating more patients at the scene. the report for the regulator nhs improvement warns that unless the service changes, 999 response times won't improve. currently only two out of ten ambulance trusts are meeting their targets, as our health correspondent dominic hughes reports. ambulance services across england are getting busier. ten different nhs trusts handle 10 million emergency calls a year, most of them lead to an ambulance crew being dispatched. now, a review says some big savings could be made if paramedics are able to treat people closer to the scene. in some areas of the country we are taking more people to hospital then we need to. the effect of that is, people fill the beds up, particularly in the winter, that we need for other people. so critically, keeping that down is the way to do it. that early diagnosis when the paramedic arrives on scene

is the critical factor in this. the report into the state of the ambulance service in england found that paramedics are having to work with an ageing fleet of vehicles that will soon need replacing. levels of sick leave and complaints over bullying and harassment are the highest in the nhs. and there's a wide variation in how trusts use new technology to take calls, dispatch crews and even treat patients. one idea is to allow ambulance crews to directly access online medical information. being able to access patient records at the patient's side clearly makes patient care better in the fact that we can make better clinical decisions and appropriately transport our patients to places of definitive care, keep them out of emergency departments where they are not necessarily going to get the best treatment. today's report says that with better report by staff and by treating patients closer to the scene, savings of up to half £1 billion of could be achieved.

that could improve response times and ease pressure on hard—pressed accident and emergency departments. dominic hughes, bbc news. one of the men accused of the salisbury nerve agent poisoning has been named as a high ranking russian military officer. the uk—based online investigation website, bellingcat, claims the man who was known as ruslan boshirov is actually a decorated colonel who fought in chechnya. jon donnison reports. he called himself ruslan boshirov when he arrived in the uk in march. he said he was a tourist. but this is who it's thought he really is, colonel anatoliy chepiga, a russian military intelligence officer. the online investigative journalist the site bellingcat said he was born in 1978. he is thought to have fought with the russian military in chechnya and was awarded russia's highest decoration, hero of the russian federation. using the alias ruslan boshirov,

the british government believes he travelled to salisbury with another agent, calling himself alexander petrov. their mission, to try to kill sergei skripal using a nerve agent hidden in this perfume bottle. british officials have not commented on bellingcat‘s revelations, but the bbc understands there is no dispute in its identifying of anatoliy chepiga. speaking at the un in new york, theresa may again strongly attacked russia's actions. in response, russia said britain's allegations were "kindergarten stuff". jon donnison, bbc news. two men have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following a shooting in essex last night. a 19—year—old man is in a serious condition in basildon hospital with a gunshot wound to his stomach.

a 36—year—old man and a 40—year—old man are being held in custody. a third woman has accused donald trump's supreme court nominee, brett kavanaugh, of serious sexual assault. the allegations are said to be more serious than those which have already been made by two other women. later today, mr kava naugh and the first woman to accuse him, christine blasey ford, will be questioned by a senate committee. here's our washington correspondent chris buckler. a nominee to sit on america's highest court will walk into a senate room later as the accused, and brett kavanaugh's testimony will be weighed against one of his accusers. in her opening statement to the judiciary committee, christine blasey ford says she remembers a teenage brett kavanaugh drunkenly groping her, trying to remove her clothes and believing he was going to rape her. all of which he denies. despite this and other accusations, donald trump is standing by the man he wants as his next to supreme courtjustice. they know it's a big fat con job. but the president says he will listen to what doctor

blasey ford has to say. now, it's possible i'll hear that and i'll say, "hey, i'm changing my mind." that is possible. we want to give them a chance to speak. another woman, deborah ramirez, claims brett kava naugh exposed himself to her at a college party. and a third accuser, julie swetnick, says as a high school student she saw him press up against girls and expose their body parts. judge kavanaugh, what is your response to allegations? she also claimsjudge kavanaugh was present at a party when she was gang raped, although there is no suggestion that he was involved. he's called the accusations ridiculous and from the twilight zone. this hearing is not a trial, but with america watching, president trump's choice to become a supreme courtjustice knows he will have to subject himself to the court of public opinion. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. the heads of 45 universities and colleges have written

to the education secretary calling for a ban on companies that sell students custom—written essays and course work. they say the firms, known as "essay mills", undermine higher education and are unfair to the vast majority of ha rd—working students. the government says it would like universities to do more to tackle the problem. ten of the uk s biggest companies have agreed to make their parental leave and pay policies public for the first time. kpmg, santander and deloitte are among the businesses to have made their policies known. it comes as part of a push to force all large firms to publish details of their family benefits. government officials examining the potential impact of a no—deal brexit are suggesting there could be a risk of power shortages in northern ireland. documents seen by the bbc also warn that in the worst—case scenario, electricity bills could rise by around a third. it's understood that a formal government notice on the issue will be published in the next few weeks.

a coalition of leading conservation groups has called on the government to guarantee that nuclear waste won't be buried in britain 5 national parks. 19 organisations, including the national trust and the campaign to protect rural england, want the parks to be given the highest level of protection, as our environment correspondent claire marshall explains. this is hinkley c, the controversial new power station currently being built in somerset. it is due to start producing electricity in 2025. it will also produce waste that will stay highly radioacive for many thousands of years. these old rusting tanks hold old radioactive sludge. 30 years since the old station closed, no one has managed to get rid of it. currently, the uk gets around a quarter of its energy from 15 nuclear reactors, but the question of what to do with the waste is still unresolved. the only permanent solution is seen as deep geological burial.

a government select committee has said that the safest site should be chosen, no matter where it is. this could include national parks. in today's open letter, a coalition of charities says this is unacceptable. national parks are places that are protected for their beauty, for nature and for recreation, and really, major development puts all those things at risk. we can't have the case where the government is trying to justify major development in these places, which are the most important and beautiful landscapes in the uk. the government though says that sufficient legal safeguards are already in place to protect national parks. claire marshall, bbc news. it's coming up to 8:10am. when the singer and broadcaster george shelley lost his younger sister harriet in a tragic accident last year, he turned to anti—depressants and therapy to help him come to terms with his grief.

now he hopes his story will help other young people who are experiencing similar sadness. in a new bbc documentary he describes what it was like trying to understand what had happened, as he aimed to return to some sort of normality. the last time i performed was just before i lost harriet, and she was there. i can remember that whole performance, and it was something i had worked on for so long. herface when i would come off, she was a lwa ys when i would come off, she was always beaming. a part of me is excited to perform again, because i feel like i'm going to get offstage and... it's things like that that really connect me with her, and my memories of her. so i'm terrified about it, because i'm like, am i going to be

emotionally be able to keep everything together and hold everything together and hold everything together. i want to give a good performance, but i know the whole time all i'm going to be thinking about is getting offstage and seeing everyone, and there's just going to be one person that... isn't there, and that's something i'm going to have to deal with, but i can't let that fear of being scared of not seeing harriet after it, i can't let that stop me from doing it. very, very emotional piece of filming there, george, welcome. george shelley, welcome to the sofa. very interesting what you have done in terms of exposing how you feel, but first of all, tell us about harriet. how long have we got? she was my best friend, we grew up got? she was my best friend, we grew up together, and we will more like twins but brother and sister, because we grew up in that same development period. how much younger

was she? two and a half years. she was she? two and a half years. she was a hard worker, she went to university, she was studying to be a midwife, and she still had that loving and giving energy, ifind it ha rd to loving and giving energy, ifind it hard to talk about her, but this is pa rt hard to talk about her, but this is part of it. and sharing her soul and who she was, she is going to live on through this, and she is leaving a legacy, everyone is so proud of her for what she's doing now still. she lost her life in an accident, so it came out of the blue for you. a huge shock. when naga asked about her, you were able to smile, and i know that's the whole story, not the whole story, and there is still sadness there, but for a long time you were unable to see anything except bleakness. absolutely, that is what happens when you have a shock bereavement, you go into denial and shot from the world, and thatis denial and shot from the world, and that is a slippery slope. if you carry on down that road, you can end up carry on down that road, you can end up doing bad things and regretting

it later in life, talking through the emotions processing them is the best way to work out the clear path ahead for you and the right way to move forward. i don't think i would be able to be here in this position talking like this about it if i hadn't filmed this documentary and learned what i have learned along the way, because i have met some amazing inspirational people. why do you think it was so important that someone like you from your position in terms of your inner unionj, you work a dj, you are back performing, but the people you appeal to, are you aware of how you can help them deal with grief, or at least acknowledge they are grieving? deal with grief, or at least acknowledge they are grieving7m deal with grief, or at least acknowledge they are grieving? it is ha rd acknowledge they are grieving? it is hard subject to young people to talk about, especially young men. undera quarter of young people aged 25 and under in the uk have suffered bereavement, so that is a statistic, and when you get into that place, i'm not saying i was in that place

but i was close to it, and it is scary. if you don't have anybody to talk to and you don't have anybody to work through it with, then they build up and you are suppressing the emotions on the grief, and it could, later in life, 20 years down the line, and i've spoken to people, i've had comments in response back from people who said, i lost my brother 20 years ago, and i never spoken about it until now, and this is the first step for them, talking to me, and i'm like, wow. i didn't really think it made sense in my head how it was going to help, sharing my story, because it'sjust life, it's not a story, it'sjust the bare truth of what has happened. and the response of what i have had so far without the documentary even being aired has given me a lot of comfort. you are very honest about how you dealt with things, and one of the things that became apparent was that you shut yourself away, literally taking antidepressants, shut yourself away from your family, and now i guess you are thinking

that would have been the best thing to have done, there is no right and wrong in this, but you did actively shut yourself away from them at that time? antidepressants are not something that you just jump on, antidepressants are not something that you justjump on, it is not a quick fix, my therapist, it was back and forth, i refused them three times, the third time, he said, if you don't sort this out, if we don't find a way forward, it will start affecting you really badly and we will have to take this to another level. i was in a really dark place. i'm not there advocating it, saying they are a quick fix, but what they did to me was they cleared the fault, and that, that agoraphobia, and wanting to hide away, not wanting to leave the house or even talk to people who i love, those closest to me, what it did was cleared path and i was able to work out which way i would go forward... because i was escaping, doing

everything i could to escape. running away from it all, going to different places. you go back home, and then it hits you hard. escaping it is not the best way. anyone who has been through grief, will know that no matter how you are feeling one time, little things cannot you write off, and that will happen, one of those things you have to come to terms with. it will be like that for the rest of your life, you have to figure out ways to avoid them, dodge them, deal with them when they are there. how cathartic was it for you and yourfamily in terms of there. how cathartic was it for you and your family in terms of the relationship you have, you hit yourself away, you admitted that. they are involved in this. in the documentary. emotional conversations on camera with your mother and father. i learned a lot about life from my parents, definitely, seeing how they coped with it. my mother is ina how they coped with it. my mother is in a completely different place to where she was one year ago, when i

see her talking, so eloquently, and articulately about her emotions... it is like, you are so strong! same with my father, paralysed in is left arm, he suffered brain damage from the motorcycle accident, watching him build himself back up again, on top of that he lost his daughter, i have nothing but the utmost respect for both of them. —— paralysed in his left arm. we have supported each other. really special. some of the cliches, carrying on with your life, moving on with your life, they are true. as you go back to performing now, and those things, presumably harriet is large in that thought process , harriet is large in that thought process, carrying on anyway, doing it regardless? that is the sort of attitude that harry had, she did not let anything not her back, even... she was always studying moving forward in her life, never wanted to stay stagnant, always reaching for

the stars, going for anything she could. i could not let myself, when i was could. i could not let myself, when iwas in could. i could not let myself, when i was in that position, i could not let myself keep going that way, because i was like, i want to make her proud, i want to... i need to turn this into a positive, because of the type of person i am, growing up, i have always been maybe i look at things negatively, and that is when it is easy to fall down. i have kind of had to take her mentality that i watched her have, going through university and growing up and apply that to my own life. i'm sure that people watching this will think you are very brave but also a lot of people will get a lot from it. i hope so. lovely to treasure her memory as well. thank you. george shelley: learning to grieve is available to watch on bbc3 from this sunday. and if you've been affected by any of the issues raised in this interview you can find help and support online via the bbc

action line website, that's at bbc.co.uk/actionline and there is more from george on the bbc breakfast instagram account will stop time to get today we could hit 24 celsius once again, yesterday we did in parts of lincolnshire, today it is more likely to be somewhere around the london area but after today it will cool down, you can see this quite nicely, cold front sinking south across the country, look at the yellows a nd across the country, look at the yellows and the ambers. behind it, the blue is indicating that things will turn a lot fresher than they have been for many parts of the uk. we still have mist and fog patches across southern england, but when they do lift, we will have a lot of dry and sunny weather, some of us already have that. heavy rain across scotland from the weather front, pushing south, odd spot of rain as

it moves across northern ireland and into northern england, you can see the greens will indicate the cooler conditions coming our way, temperatures between 11 and 15 in scotland, south, then it becomes the southeast 's turn to have those temperatures, maybe 22, 23, 24. the weather front continues through the evening and overnight, not much more thana band evening and overnight, not much more than a band of cloud with some drizzle on at full up scotland, northern ireland, northern england, different then you have been used to, touch of frost, meanwhile, further south, where it has been cold to start the new day, it is going to be a lot milder. heading into tomorrow, we have the remnants of the front to move away, and as it clears, a lot of dry weather and sunshine across many parts of the country, however, across scotland and northern ireland, more cloud around, windy in the north with showers, and also windy across the

south of england, particularly being this channel. temperatures, we are down, looking at 17 as the top temperature, on saturday, cold and frosty start to the day, clear skies by night, that means sunshine to start the day, another weather front coming into the north west will introduce thicker cloud and rain. bit more cloud around on sunday, the cloud for the south could be thick enough, which is the odd shower, temperatures ranging from 11 in the north to 17 in the south and then next week, for some of us, temperatures will actually be below average for this time of year. a report into the ambulance service in england says that

tackling staff sickness, improving technology, and treating more patients at the scene could save the system £500 million a year. a review for the regulator nhs improvement, also calls for more patients to be treated at the scene, saying ambulances are "not a taxi to a&e". let's talk to jo hardwick, she's operations manager with the west midlands ambulance service. good morning. the reason we have you on, your service is seen almost as a good example of efficiency at work, what is different, that happens at west midlands, that this report aspires to? we can leave more people at home because we have a paramedic on every vehicle, a paramedic who has the skills to treat and leave. most people would be shocked there is not a paramedic on board. some services do not, if we need to transport, it means we don't have to wait for a paramedic to do that. i

love it sickness rate, 3.5%, wait for a paramedic to do that. i love it sickness rate, 35%, lots of different things for staff welfare to support them, such as sels, a liaison service, if you go to particularly stressing case, you can talk it through. —— we have a low sickness rate, 35%. we also have a fleet which has no ambulance older than five years old, all standardised, means you can work on any ambulance service across the we st any ambulance service across the west midlands and everything will be in the same place. do you also have access to patients records? we have electronic ru paul forms, we can use those on the scene, and we can call clinical support desks. —— electronic forms. if you get there, when you need to, you can... from the clinical support desk, we can look at previous cases to see if anything differs. have you got more

money than all the other ambulance services? because that is one of... no, we do not. why have you been able to put this in place and others do not seem so efficient? it is the ca re do not seem so efficient? it is the care plan we have four people, our visions and values, the user knows to give the best patient air. is it technology driven? potentially, some of it. —— patient care. with the patient report forms, we can get patient report forms, we can get patient records, we can refer to different places. you are not here to a nswer different places. you are not here to answer for the inadequacies, different places. you are not here to answerfor the inadequacies, if you like, of other services, that is the point we are trying to make but people hearing what you have set up and the way it works maybe a little confused as to how it is you can pay for a paramedic which presumably is more expensive, because they are more expensive, because they are more highly qualified, to have a paramedic on every ambulance, how it

is your service can afford to pay for a computer system which gives you a ccess for a computer system which gives you access to the record so they do not need to very somebody to the hospital unnecessarily. when you make those changes, resume of either was a time when you did not, was its not more expensive? yes it is, but we can save money with other things, our sickness rate is lower than anywhere else, saving money with things like that, cost—effective in other ways. how do your paramedics feel, there is a recommendation that more people are treated at the scene, if you are a paramedic on board, that can be done, a lot of this is changing attitudes, response and social media saying, they are used as taxis, people should be more self—aware, maybe have more opportunity to call someone who is more of an expert, to help them assess their own illness and the severity of it. yes, so, and... how
