tv   Breakfast  BBC News  September 30, 2018 7:00am-8:01am BST

7:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and sally nugent. our headlines today: devastation in indonesia as strong aftershocks continue to hit, amid fears thousands of people may have died after the earthquake and tsunami. on the opening day of the conservative conference, theresa may accuses critics of her brexit plan of "playing politics" with britain's future. a woman in the far east of russia tells the bbc she recognises one of the key suspects in the salisbury attack as a military intelligence officer. good morning. can teamwork make the dream work? after another great day for europe at the ryder cup, they take a 10—6 lead over the united states into the final day's singles. another chilly start this morning with some spells of sunshine to come, and also some areas of cloud and a few showers in places. all the details coming up. it's sunday, september the 30th.
7:01 am
our top story: strong aftershocks have continued to hit the indonesian island of sulawesi, where a major earthquake and tsunami killed at least 400 people. rescue teams are still yet to reach some of the worst affected areas. the country's vice president says he fears the number of dead could rise into thousands. simon clemison reports. it is the view now from the air which gives you a true sense of the power of this earthquake. a shopping centre, buckled. a road bridge, laid to waste. and what about the damage beyond here, in outlying areas? that picture is still not clear. the earthquake also triggered a tsunami which brought waves ten feet high into palu. a mobile phone captures the moment and a glimpse of the panic. there was a warning, but there wasn't long to get to higher ground, not before
7:02 am
a packed city was quickly inundated. with strong aftershocks, people have been urged to move away from their homes. outside the hospital, patients are having to be treated in the open, too. the devastation has also made it difficult to get aid in, but the airport has now reopened. meanwhile, the search is on for survivors. rescuers today hunting through the ruins of a hotel. indonesia is used to earthquakes, but with more information coming in all the time, this may only be some of the destruction and loss of life here. simon clemison, bbc news. our indonesia editor rebecca henschke in en route to sulawesi. she sent us this report. rescue teams are working to try and free people trapped in the debris of collapsed homes, and teams from outside as well as personnel from the military are trying to get into the affected area.
7:03 am
that's proving to be challenging, as we're finding out. we are heading into the area from poso and we're being told that many of the roads are blocked. fresh landslides occurred overnight and one of the main bridges into town has collapsed. the airport also remains closed to commercial flights and people are having to try and find alternative routes to get in. in the town of donggala and three other towns, communications and power is completely cut off. there's no news of the impact of these disasters there and vice presidentjusuf kalla is warning that the death toll could rise into the thousands. from the city of palu, we are hearing stories of local teams having to dig through the rubble with their bare hands. last night in one collapsed hotel, they managed to rescue 2a people but the owner of the hotel said he can still hear people trapped in the rubble, crying out for help, but they don't have heavy building equipment in order to rescue them.
7:04 am
much more on that story coming up throughout the morning here. theresa may is facing a public battle at the conservative party conference with borisjohnson over her plans for leaving the eu. in an interview with the sunday times, the former foreign secretary says mrs may's chequers plan is "deranged". the prime minister says her opponents should stop playing politics with brexit. let's get more detail from our political correspondent chris mason, who is in birmingham, where the conference will start later. how many times have we said this but chris, theresa may is under quite a lot of pressure, isn't she? she is, good morning. we could record those questions, could a week, to save ourselves assented every morning and then just hit play
7:05 am
when you are talking to someone like me andi when you are talking to someone like me and i can record an answer that says yes, back to you, and that would be it really. from the prime minister's perspective, it must school her in a certain sense of resilience because people like me standing in front of cameras like this and is talking about how the prime minister has a difficult week and she must think yes, like the one before, the one before that and the one before that and the subsequent weeks before because this is a tricky time to be prime minister, trying to deliver brexit amid the desires of the country and that a fight in her party. —— divides of the country and divides in her party. thinking back to when she lost her voice in that speech and spend the stage fell down and surely birmingham would be a breeze compared to that but of course brexit is only six months away that it will be the dominating theme through the conference and yes, to a nswer through the conference and yes, to answer your question, sally, it through the conference and yes, to answeryour question, sally, it will be difficult for the prime minister. chris, lovely to talk to you and i'm
7:06 am
sure we will talk to you later. a few tech eagle problems at the conservative party conference already which we will explain about later on. after both seinfeld on last year they gone all high—tech but that hasn't gone so well either. a woman in the far east of russia has told the bbc she recognises one of the key suspects in the salisbury novichok attack as a decorated military officer. the bellingcat investigative website this week published what it claims is the true identity of one of the suspects. russia continues to deny any involvement in the poisoning. here's our moscow correspondent, sarah rainsford. in the far east of russia, along its border with china, we went searching for clues to the salisbury poisoning. thatjourney led to this tranquil village, almost 5,000 miles from moscow. it's where a russian military intelligence officer, anatoliy chepiga, grew up. this week, the investigative team at bellingcat suggested that colonel chepiga, seen here, is the true identity of a key suspect in the salisbury attack.
7:07 am
british officials haven't disputed that. the suspect is now calling himself ruslan boshirov. so our team showed those pictures to residents in colonel chepiga's old village. some didn't know him. those who did were nervous of oui’ camera. we agreed they'd remain anonymous. translation: it's him, but much older. and this woman identified the man wanted by british police as anatoliy chepiga. i know where his parents used to live. he was a military man, an officer. he fought in war zones. then he was in moscow. and when i called the last phone number linked to his parents, the man who picked up said he was uzbek, and bought the sim card on the street. the line was then disconnected. just two weeks ago, president putin himself insisted both of the salisbury suspects were civilians. nothing suspicious,
7:08 am
he said, nothing criminal. on friday, his spokesman said the kremlin won't discuss what he called "informal investigations into the poisoning" any further. but the questions over russia's explanations and the true identity of these men are only mounting. sarah rainsford, bbc news, moscow. the fbi has approached the second woman to accuse us supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh of sexual misconduct as it begins a fresh inquiry into him. the judge is accused of exposing himself to deborah ramirez when they were students in the 1980s. mr kavanaugh denies any wrongdoing. it comes days after dr christine blasey ford testified to a senate panel, and president donald trump ordered a investigation by the fbi. the billionaire entrepreneur elon musk has agreed to step down as chairman of the tesla electric car company, over a misleading tweet that said he was ready to take the firm private.
7:09 am
he's been fined £15 million, as has the company. he'll remain tesla's chief executive, as lebo diseko now reports. he's known for pushing boundaries when it comes to tech innovation, leading the way on electric cars and space exploration. but now, it seems elon musk has pushed too far. in august, he tweeted, saying he would take tesla back into private ownership at a price of $420 a share. and, crucially, he said he had the funding secured. the stock market regulator said that was false and misleading and so, they charged him. we allege that musk had arrived at the price of $420 by assuming a 20% premium of what tesla's then—existing share price, and then rounding up to m20. and as we have said before in connection with other matters, neither celebrity status nor reputation as a technological
7:10 am
innovator provide an exemption from the federal securities laws. trailblazer or not, musk has tested shareholder patience recently with antics like smoking marijuana in an interview. and he's been sued for libel after making allegations against one of the thai cave rescuers. things could've been much worse for musk — the regulator had wanted to remove him as ceo as well. he'll now stay on in that position while stepping down as chairman. but with the company's image so closely linked to his own, investors may be wondering if that is a good thing. lebo diseko, bbc news. let's get more on our top story now. the devastating tsunami in indonesia. in a moment, we'll hear about the rescue operation under way to bring aid to the many hundreds of people feared trapped. but first, our correspondent richard lister has been looking at why the region is so vulnerable to tsunamis. this animation shows the location of
7:11 am
every earthquake around the world over several years. 90% of them occurred along the pacific rim. and of all the countries on the ring of fire, indonesia is seen as the most prone to earthquake damage. not all undersea earthquakes caused tsunamis but those measuring more than seven on the richter scale pose a real threat. and when one tectonic plate is forced under another, and may have happened in indonesia, the sudden change of the seabed this places a huge volume of water, creating giant waves moving as fast asa creating giant waves moving as fast as a jetliner. under the right conditions, those waves have crossed a notion. this animation showed what happens in 2004 when an earthquake measuring 9.1 on the richter scale generated a tsunami of sumatra. it reached the african coast, just seven hours later, one quarter of a
7:12 am
million people were killed. 0ther factors million people were killed. 0ther fa cto rs ca n million people were killed. 0ther factors can make smaller tsunami could lead to. look at the long inlet leading to palu. even though friday's earthquake was smaller than in 2004, this narrow inlet focused the energy of the waves as they raced towards the town. joining us now from jakarta is tom howells from the charity save the children. it is sending a team to the disaster area. here in the studio, dean nankivell from uk international search and rescue. dean, we will talk to you in a moment but if we could go to tom first, tom, what can you tell us about what you have heard the situation is like at the moment? thanks, yeah, the situation well, i think first of all, it has been difficult over the last sort of 36 hours since the first quake and tsunami, we didn't get very good information because the communication have been down in palu
7:13 am
and the surrounding areas. in the last sort of 12— 24 hours we have got a better picture and u nfortu nately got a better picture and unfortunately the picture is not good. the government has confirmed over 400 casualties from the earthquake which, the earthquake and tsunami, sorry, which is— the first few days. so we expect casual and —— casualties numbers will increase. reports from partners already on the ground, from the government that the result of buildings completely destroyed and potentially, people are still trapped under them. that, you know, there are vast numbers of people affect did and we would estimate around 700,000 people —— affected and we would estimate around 700,000 people affected. save the children are concerned about the reports we are hearing on the ground
7:14 am
of children being separated from theirfamilies, it of children being separated from their families, it can of children being separated from theirfamilies, it can happen in this sort of situation, as people flee a tsunami or as unfortunately family members would have died in the earthquake. it is concerning situation and obviously, in these sorts of disasters, and you do not get very detailed information in the first few days of the information we are seeing is concerning us. tom, briefly if you can, can you tell us, from your teams on the ground, how long will it take them to get to the worst hit areas? we actually have a tea m worst hit areas? we actually have a team in south sulawesi that are making their way to central sulawesi, they have not been able to get in because the airport has been destroyed so we are currently using boats to access the areas we need to get to. another partner, i think they had 45 staff on the ground and 38 of them were already affected by the earthquake so information is
7:15 am
patchy that it will take time. there are patchy that it will take time. there a re lots of patchy that it will take time. there are lots of roads blocked and i cannot say it will take one day, to date, or a number of cannot say it will take one day, to date, ora number of hours cannot say it will take one day, to date, or a number of hours but what ican thank you for now. dean nankivell in the studio. international search and rescue is brought together from the emergency services, you are rescue is brought together from the emergency services, you are in a brockie fire brigade. what can you do if the call comes —— you are a member of the fire brigade. we responds as the government response to uk aid. we have all the equipment needed for search and rescue, we have chainsaws, lifting and moving equipment. we have all the equipment and we are self—sufficient to get in country and make an effort. we cannot deploy until that country asks for help and they have not come and asked for help at the moment. from what you are seeing, the scale of this, and by the sounds that we
7:16 am
are only starting to see the beginning of a death toll rise significantly, the destruction may be worse than the pictures we are seeing, you need that call, don't you? absolutely. we are 24 hours a day, 306 if i days a year, we are ready to get out there and be mobilised in the ground —— 306 entity by daisy. the uk taxpayer would want it out there doing it what we do. we have been to haiti and nepal and indonesia what we do. we have been to haiti and nepaland indonesia in what we do. we have been to haiti and nepal and indonesia in the past. we ouran and nepal and indonesia in the past. we our an experienced team. when you went to haiti, what conditions were you working in an? horrendous. the way to get used a lot is apocalyptic in these situations. until you up close and personal and you see the physicality of what an earthquake or a tsunami can do, the damages devastating. these people who probably did not have a loss before the earthquake and the tsunami have a lot less now. they would be very vulnerable. girl b after hope and
7:17 am
help. that is what search and rescue brings. if it doesn't actually physically rescue people it brings hope. —— that is what search and rescue brings. it is really interesting. thank you for coming in. dean nankivell from uk international search and rescue. anton from save the children. think you as well. —— thank you as well. you are watching breakfast. you are watching breakfast. here's ben with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. good morning to you. it is that time on a sunday morning. the sun is starting to come. weather watchers out in force. 0ne the sun is starting to come. weather watchers out in force. one thing about today's sunrise compared to yesterday's is that they tend to feature more in the way of cloud. that is part of the weather story for today. more cloud for many of ourfamily had for today. more cloud for many of our family had yesterday. wait a cool day. decidedly chilly in the breeze. we will see some spells of sunshine, a scattering of showers across the north—west. cloud, this is how it looks on the satellite
7:18 am
picture. 0ne stripe of cloud working its way southwards. this is a weather front producing the odd spot of rain. behind that weather front we are starting to pull in air from a long way north, that is never going to feel particularly warm. that strip of cloud i was talking about, moving southwards across the midlands and wales, through the first part of the morning. to the north of that, spells of sunshine. showers already getting going across the north and west of scotland, particularly blown in on a keen west or north—west lee nguyen. averages in aberdeen around eight degrees to start the day. —— north—westerly breeze. this area of cloud, just the odd spot of drizzle to the south—east of that there are spells of sunshine. things will tend to cloud over as the frontal system operators. through the midlands, wales, towards the south coast, it will be cloudy. northern england will be cloudy. northern england will see spells of sunshine.
7:19 am
northern ireland sunny spells. the odd shower. showers continuing across the northern west of scotland. perhaps a quite widespread for a time. windy in the north as well. those temperatures, no great shakes at all. 11— 15 degrees. a touch below par for the last day of september. through this evening and tonight, most of the showers fade quite quickly. cloud will fade away as well. under clear, starry skies, despite a team breeze, temperatures are going to give away. you can see the pale green and blue shades showing up across parts. it will be colder than that in the countryside. not as chilly in southern areas. tomorrow, quite a cold start. a bright start. spells of sunshine. we will cut off that northerly wind. more cloud into northern ireland and western scotland. some outbreaks of rain. temperatures are struggling. 9-15 rain. temperatures are struggling. 9— 15 degrees. they improve a little bit heading into tuesday. the week
7:20 am
ahead with dry weather, some rain as well, particularly towards the north and west. that is all from me for now. back to you. thank you very much. how big is too big when it comes to growing veg? for our next guest, not big enough apparently. he's just lost his world record for the heaviest red cabbage to his friend, and get this — he gave him the seeds! david thomas may have handed over the vegetable equivalent of the winning lottery ticket but he's still competing in this year's national championship at the malvern autumn show. he joins us now to share his super size secrets. david, you must be the most generous competitor around, given that you gave your friend the seed that allowed him to beat a world record. what a shame. 0h allowed him to beat a world record. what a shame. oh my goodness! 0h
7:21 am
allowed him to beat a world record. what a shame. oh my goodness! oh my goodness! deepika has frozen. is that an enormous each —— the picture has frozen. i was going to ask david all about... where is information about this? a cabbage. last year he had the heaviest red cabbage in the world. 23.3 kilograms. this is the best bit, almost £10 —— ten lbs heavier than the previous record. the record has stood for almost 100 yea rs. the record has stood for almost 100 years. he gave the seat to his friend and his friendly the following year. that is a lot of people. what did you with all that red cabbage? wyn evans got to ask david about it. we will try to get it back. —— we never got to ask.|j grew a very it back. —— we never got to ask.|j grew a very large quartet last year. they were quite impressive. shall we move on? —— they were quite impressive. shall we move on? -- quartet. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look
7:22 am
at the newspapers. the music producer steve levine is here to tell us what's caught his eye. we'll speak to steve in a minute. but first, let's look at the front pages. the sunday times says theresa may has launched a campaign to keep herjob ahead of the conservative pary conference. the observer reports that the government will produce the first official guidelines on how long young people should spend on social media. the sunday express has details of what it calls may's blueprint to build a better britain. it says the pm is taking the fight to labour with new housing and transport policies. the mail on sunday leads on its own campaign to save britain's parks. it claims thousands of parks are falling into disrepair or being sold off by councils. let us look at the stories you have
7:23 am
chosen. following on from that. the first one is the national health service. the articles across many pages, specifically on page nine, right—hand corner. i love a park. we are gifted with phenomenal parks in this area. it is creep. across the country. creep is being slowly eroded. she says effectively they are the lungs of the air and we need to keep them. it is interesting how the profits were some of the parks, when they have events, i live in liverpool and sefton park as the concert and things, some of that money is not being ring—fenced. it is terrible. they made a point in this article, i did note that sefton park was the model for central park in new york. is that true? i always told it was birkenhead park. that is what they told me when i moved to liverpool. in the 1970s, new york had a terrible decline. they ask the
7:24 am
residents to contribute $1 to renovate it, which worked. now central park is absolutely beautiful. we must save our parts. they are really important. particularly living in the capital, in london, parks are so important. everyone can be quite short of space. many people have taken advantage of them. i was born in hamstead and went regularly to the fan things like that. i have really fond memories of that. it is absolutely crucial for our social well— being and health absolutely crucial for our social well—being and health to keep the parks. the observer has a story about actors who play pop stars. the chance of seeing bradley cooper at tv is no bad thing. tell us what this is all about. he is in a film. they have made a remake of the star is born. this should be the third remake. what is interesting about this is that there are many talented
7:25 am
actors who seem to have this extra skill. what is interesting about bradley cooper, i saw him on graham norton a few years ago, he films cutaway shots at glastonbury. i went to glastonbury the other year, i had some side tickets, on the side of the state will stop i noticed he was there. i thought what is going on. what they did was to some cutaways so what they did was to some cutaways so they could get to reverse shots. what is fascinating is that there is also, in the magazine, there is an interview with jeff goldblum. i have a phenomenal anecdote... have we stopped talking about bradley cooper? no. it is actors and music. in the main article we are covering, it is how they have this hidden tale nt it is how they have this hidden talent and whether you are an actor or pop star. geoff cobham, i guess they are tying it all together. geoff cobham is also a phenomenal piano player. i compose the music to
7:26 am
a film that he was in. the director was specific about what he wanted me to do in terms of composition. is that you must meet him and talk about the music. i go to the set and he is there, this old house in paris. and he is that playing the piano. i was like oh my god he is far better, he may as well do the music. he said jamie the then you are doing. nervously, i had to go it will be late this —— showed me the theme. and he went like... fantastic. quite a loss of actors probably our... have you ever heard bradley cooper speaking in french? fluent accident was french. artists like kevin bacon, they are rolling bans. —— all in bands. i am looking forward personally to seeing the film. it looks like it will be
7:27 am
brilliant. this is interesting. desert island discs. i did not realise this. i did not realise ki rsty realise this. i did not realise kirsty young had stopped. but their post is lauren laverne. what a job. temporarily. while kirsty young take a break. tell us the details. we would look into actors and people who are musicians. this is choosing your playlist. it is fantastic that lauren has taken over. what this article is showing is that those who have been on desert island discs, you have to prepare your playlist of what you are going to play plus your anecdotes to go with it. many of the people who have given their consent have found it has been very cathartic. it has allowed them to look at their life through their own personal soundtrack. we know music is incredibly important. the bbc did something the other date about the importance of music with dementia. music is incredibly powerful. this
7:28 am
particular thing, as the headline says, the show saved my marriage. they have put a picture of david beckham next to that. it was not him who said that. the point being, when you analyse your music —— life through the music you love, and if you have children, through the music they love, my life is a giant musical soundtrack. it is so incredibly important. the fact that the show has gone on for so many yea rs the show has gone on for so many years is because it is such a good format. it is a really in—depth interview. it gives you an insight into people. it is not threatening. people open up because they do not feel like they are being interrogated. it becomes a history snapshot. there was that recent princess margaret show on television. they were running clips of her actual interview with the original host. the other thing that is great is that it becomes an historical archive for generations later on. we will do more in one hour. then he very much. fascinating. still to come: we'll speak to the documentary maker who has been on a road trip with his dyslexic son to find out whether the learning difficulty can
7:29 am
be a help or a hindrance in life. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and sally nugent. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: strong aftershocks have continued to hit the indonesian island of sulawesi, where a major earthquake and tsunami killed at least 400 people. rescue teams are still yet to reach some of the worst—affected areas. the country's vice president says he fears the number of dead could rise into thousands. theresa may is facing a public battle at the tory party conference with borisjohnson over her strategy for leaving the european union. in his first newspaper interview since stepping down as foreign secretary, he has told the sunday times that her chequers plan is "deranged". mrs may says her opponents should stop playing politics with brexit. a woman in the far east of russia has told the bbc she recognises one of the key suspects in the salisbury novichok attack as a russian military
7:30 am
intelligent officer. —— as a russian military intelligence officer. the bellingcat investigative website this week published what it claims is the true identity of one of the suspects — colonel chepiga. yet he told russian state tv he was ruslan boshirov, a civilian. russia continues to deny any involvement in the poisoning. the fbi has approached the second woman to accuse us supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh of sexual misconduct as it begins a fresh inquiry into him. the judge is accused of exposing himself to deborah ramirez when they were students in the 1980s. mr kavanaugh denies any wrongdoing. it comes days after dr christine blasey ford testified to a senate panel, and president donald trump ordered a investigation by the fbi. he's a very high—quality person. i would expect it's going to turn out very well for the judge. there's never been anybody that's been looked at likejudge kavanaugh. i think that it's gonna work out
7:31 am
very well but the fbi, i believe, is doing a really greatjob. they have been all over it already. elon musk is to step down as chairman of the electric car maker tesla as part of a deal with regulators in the us to settle charges of securities fraud. he will also pay a £15 million fine, but will remain as chief executive. he was accused of misleading investors by tweeting about financing for his apparent plan to take the firm private. you are up to date with all of the main stories now. holly's here with the sport. it is all about the golf this morning and these too have a perfect record and have kind of been the foundation to europe to put themselves in a good position. foundation to europe to put themselves in a good positionlj have themselves in a good position.” have had an incredible performance over the last two days, all in a hurry and fleetwood, fleetwood on his debut as well but what i love is the bromance that these two have
7:32 am
together. they are apparently friends off the course as well and thatis friends off the course as well and that is why bjorn put them together, he thought it could work. do you know we were discussing this this morning that sometimes it helps that sometimes when you are in a team with your friend it makes it harder. you miss behave a little bit and it throws you but as reason, these two work. —— miss behave. it is mean that europe lead the united states going into today's singles matches. they dominated the morning fourballs yesterday, and then shared the spoils in the afternoon. ben croucher reports. the battle cry created in scandinavia, the golf course in france, the rivalry created down the decades. the ryder cup is unmistakable. as the usa have found, though, it's easy to lose yourself. and, as they found on friday, it's easy to lose points, too. saturday's fourballs carried on where the friday foursomes finished. this cry, created in holywood, county down. for mcilroy‘s experience and tyrrell hatton's relative lack
7:33 am
of it, fairway or rough, little mattered as europe surged clear in what was becoming alarmingly one—sided event. commentator: oh, but what a shot! what a shot from tyrrell hatton! francesco molinari and tommy fleetwood won their third point in as many matches. sergio garcia found some spanish strength to see off tony finau and brooks koepka. .. cheering and applause. ..but just when another european whitewash was on, jordan spieth and justin thomas ensured they were here, and heard. still, the usa were staring at a heavy deficit, so when henrik stenson and justin rose were sent out first in the foursomes and claimed their customary points, the gap grew wider. that, under the circumstances, probably the putt of the day! fleetwood and molinari's putts may not have won such accolades but with yet another point, they became europe's fourth most successful pairing in just two days. the us were six behind, and tiger woods still hadn't won a match. but undaunted by the chasm
7:34 am
and the potential pitfalls plain to see at le golf national, spieth and thomas sunk a strangely subdued mcilroy and ian poulter with pinpoint precision. it will be 10—6 headed into sunday's singles. 0nly twice before has a side come from so far behind to win. the us will have to summon the spirit of brookline ‘99 if they are to create another piece of ryder cup history. ben croucher, bbc news. there is nothing won here. there's 12 singles tomorrow. we go again, we go hard, and we go with every single player, we go and try to win every point that we can tomorrow, because we know it's gonna be tough. so in today's singles matches, rory mcilroy will open againstjustin thomas with paul casey out second against brooks koepka. world number twojustin rose faces webb simpson in the third game out before jon rahm takes on tiger woods.
7:35 am
i wonder, can he find his form this afternoon? the first match tees off at 11:05 and you can follow all the action on the bbc website and radio 5 live. liverpool's100% winning start to the season may be over, but they're still undefeated in the premier league after daniel sturridge's spectacular late goal rescued a 1—1 draw at chelsea. the league's top scorer, eden hazard, took his tally to six and chelsea held on to the lead until a minute from time, when sturridge let fly to ensure jurgen klopp's side came away with a point. 0utstanding finish. daniel had, three days ago, a similarfinish in the last game when he hit the crossbar and so obviously, he thought "when i'm next time in that position, i might do it a bit better" and he did. fantastic goal, and so deserved to him. it's such a good moment. it's really nice. champions manchester city have gone to the top of the table
7:36 am
for the first time this season. they're above liverpool on goal difference after raheem sterling and sergio aguero gave them a 2—0 win at home to brighton. and the pressure just keeps building onjose mourinho — manchester united haven't had a worse start to a season for 29 years. their latest defeat came at west ham. they lost 3—1 to finish the day 10th in the table. when the moment is not the best, it looks like everything goes against you. even today, we could feel exactly that. it — one goal is an own goal. the first goal is the linesman mistake and second goal is the referee's mistake. 0bviously that — that you feel — that you feel that negativity. england captain harry kane scored twice as tottenham beat huddersfield. that took spurs up to fourth, but huddersfield are still bottom and still without a win this season. arsenal are on a winning streak, their seventh—straight victory,
7:37 am
but they left it late. two goals in the last nine minutes to beat watford — an own goal, followed two minutes later by one from captain mesut 0zil. hearts manager craig levein said his side came through a "test of character", to beat stjohnstone 2—1 and stay five points clear of hibernian at the top of the scottish premiership. and kilmarnock are up to third after they came from a goal down to beat motherwell 3—1. greg stewart with the pick of their goals. killie are level on points with celtic, who beat aberdeen. lewis hamilton said his team—mate valtteri bottas "just did a better job" after he beat him to pole position for today's russian grand prix. bottas broke the track record at sochi, and hamilton might have gone even quicker but for a rare mistake. so the two mercedes share the front row with sebastian vettel third on the grid. the weather's fantastic, we've got a great crowd and it was just — it was intense, naturally, as it always is. my last two laps were not special,
7:38 am
so, but you can't always get it right and, you know, at least we're still in the fight for the race tomorrow, but the team are doing an amazing job. british number onejohanna konta has made another early exit from the latest tour event. after losing her opening match in wuhan on monday, she was knocked out in the first round of the china open byjulia goerges. konta hasn't beaten a top 10 player since her victory over simona halep at wimbledon 14 months ago. in rugby league, london broncos have earned a place in next sunday's million pound game — so—called because it's worth that much to the winners. they came from 12—0 down to beat halifax 23—16 and that left them fifth in the table. they'll take on the side that finishes fourth — either toronto or hull kr — for a place in the super league next season. in rugby union's pro14, glasgow warriors returned to the top of conference a with victory over the dragons and munster enjoyed
7:39 am
a record—breaking win over ulster. they beat them by 64 points to 7 — that's munster‘s highest score in the league, their biggest winning margin, and their greatest try haul. it was also ulster‘s biggest defeat in pro14 history. and liam williams scored a hat—trick for the premiership leaders saracens as their perfect start to the season continued. they scored eight tries to beat bath 50—27 to stay a point ahead of exeter, who also won yesterday. and the all blacks beat argentina overnight in buenos aires to successfully defend their rugby championship crown with a round to spare. argentina have never beaten new zealand before and that run never looked under too much threat. winger rieko ioane scored two of the all blacks' five tries in a 35—17 win. northern ireland'sjonathan rea has become the first rider to win four successive world superbike
7:40 am
championships. he's been totally dominant again this season, winning 13 of the 21 races — the latest at magny—cours. 0nly carl fogarty has won as many titles. absolutely incredible. you know, i don't have many words. we just played our cards perfect this week and with one lap here and trying to be faster for the race, but ijust feel so blessed and lucky right now and the opportunities i have, you know? i was just a young kid with a dream from northern ireland and here i am, four times world champion, and it's beyond my wildest dreams. let's return to the ryder cup. could europe be set to regain the title? what outwardly want to be talking about this morning? —— what else would we want. kitrina douglas is a former professional golfer and winner of the solheim cup. shejoins us now. good morning, kitrina, and thank you
7:41 am
for joining good morning, kitrina, and thank you forjoining us. i don't know about you but i have been thoroughly enjoying the past couple of days and no one expected europe to do this well at this stage, did they?” think the players did. i remember when we won the solheim cup for the first time everyone had written us off but in the team room we were quietly confident and we believed we could do it and i think these are great players who have won all over the world and they believe they can do it. you do get that impression from thomas beyond that he has his eye on the ball and he has a set plan across four beyond. the team workers helped. he spent a lot of time and you have probably seen that in the interview is going around to each of the players. he knows them all, he has played them all, and he would have a conversation with them, if they were a wildcard what would they bring to the team? it is about they bring to the team? it is about the teamwork, the building each other up, so definitely he has had his eyes fixed on it for a long time. we have to talk about the boys
7:42 am
behind you there, teamwork. tommy fleetwood and francesco molinari, such a good relationship of the course and it is something that bjorn picked up and put them together. he did speak to them and he didn't want to assume, sometimes when you are a good friend with someone you when you are a good friend with someone you do not want to play with them ina someone you do not want to play with them in a tournament but he asked them in a tournament but he asked them and they said they would relish it and they have won everything is it and they have won everything is it is unbelievable. fleetwood looks like he could win five out of five and wouldn't it be amazing. not sure that has ever happened. also today there is no sort of romance today because it is the singles and it is a completely different challenge. because it is the singles and it is a completely different challengem is completely different, i think suddenly you have been nestled in this team and then you were walking to the tye in your own and standing there on your own and it is completely different but having said that, if you look at the pedigree of all of these players, they have all won in major stages and have all played in the big events —— the tee.
7:43 am
and i think they are spurred on by the home crowd. so even though on paper, yes, we are on our own but the race a huge internal feeling that you are a part of something and maybe you could make history. the tommy fleetwood, it is his first ryder cup and you know what that was like when you went to your first solheim cup and it is a very grounded individual, from everything we hear and see, he is modest, down to earth... he isn't what i would say a typical italian would be like tom and he doesn't fly off the handle like some of the other players. but the fault would be like. they are both very calm players and that i think is important in foursomes pairings. you must mention teen usa, they have not performed how they would have expected too. —— team. they are not a team, they are a group of individuals though. in my experience that his key difference in teams, we have a much more family orientation
7:44 am
in europe between our players. in america, it isn't always the case because they do pull together and say that we want to win for america but it isn't that blood brotherly camaraderie that i see between the players in the same way it is with the european players. and images of tiger woods here, people expected him to do well this year in the ryder cup, given his very last week, but it is not turned out that way. courtesy of our friends here, no, he has been disappointing, three losses in the dream team. iam nota i am not a great fan of tiger woods myself. why? i suppose when i was doing commentary for the bbc you are often behind the ropes and you see a player into a different light. between his public persona and how he would treat kids at the british open is, his bouncers would put people out of the way, ijust did
7:45 am
not want to him it, other players would spend hours with the kids. not want to him it, other players would spend hours with the kidsm is difficult when you are the biggest. he was the bigger star and eve ryo ne biggest. he was the bigger star and everyone wants to stop you and what is healthy and an autograph. it is very difficult. i understand that argument —— selfie. itjust leaves a taste. can it europe do it? can they win? i think they can. they are terrified of jinxing it win? i think they can. they are terrified ofjinxing it in the studio today. thank you so much for joining us. you can find live coverage of the ryder cup on bbc radio 5live and online, and there'll be a highlights programme tonight at 7.30 on bbc two. i will be gin gin throughout the day. get that catalon. if you want to wait for the highlights, go and lie down in a darkroom. thank. here's ben with a look at this morning's weather.

northern england and particularly southern and central parts of scotland. some places in the countryside will get down to freezing, even in the middle of glasgow, edinburgh, newcastle, around two degrees. a chilly start to monday. but bright. a nice looking day with spells of sunshine. that northerly breeze should ease down. as we started to switch the winds down to westerlies we feed more cloud into northern ireland and western scotland. we will see rain later in the day. those temperatures 9-15 later in the day. those temperatures 9— 15 degrees. temperatures recovering as we get into tuesday and wednesday. at the amount of dry weather through the weekend. a little rain as well. most of that towards the north and west. as far as sunday is concerned, showers, chilly, but sunny. we should see sunshine as well. brilliant. thank you. after struggling at school 40 years ago, the documentary maker, richard macer decided to look at what it is like for someone with dyslexia, following his own son's diagnosis. richard and his son arthur went on a road trip to find out whether being dyslexic was a help or a hindrance in life, and along the way they met some well
7:49 am
known faces who talked about their own experiences. we got to meet the dyslexic billionaire richard branson. come in. after, this is richard. he had some rebellious advice for my son about his forthcoming exams. exams are all about facts. if you're not good with the facts then you do not do well with your exams. your pa rents do well with your exams. your parents will hate me for saying this, don't worry too much about it. what are you good at doing and live? i want to be a comedian when i drop. i think my dyslexia helps me making people laugh. you don't have any set jokes that you tell people?” people laugh. you don't have any set jokes that you tell people? i am not so jokes that you tell people? i am not so good atjokes, i am good at doing

pretend boxing. let's see at. applause. thank you. goodbye. quite a happy person. quite jolly. applause. thank you. goodbye. quite a happy person. quitejolly. quite like father christmas. laughter. for some people years. —— for some people years. richard and arthurjoin us now. units and famous people. eddie is art, richard branson. you want to be art, richard branson. you want to be a comedian. he would be good. he is a comedian. he would be good. he is a comedian, i want to be a comedian. do you know what, dyslexia is one thing, but you are very, even in the
7:51 am
first 20 seconds, you are such an eloquent young man. just tell us a little bit about how it affects you at school, the dyslexia. it's like... it is quite hard to explain dyslexia. it has affected me in the way that i think in pictures. it is quite hard to get right the words out from my mind. if i think about some word, if i try to write. you can do it now, because i am 11 and i have had a lot of help with it. but a while ago a really strutted —— i really struggled. and it was quite... quite upsetting i would have thought. it was upsetting. i was really struggling and i could not get the words from a brain to my hand to write it. you talk like
7:52 am
that, you say i think in pictures. that is a really gifted way to think, isn't it? i imagine in mainstream school it doesn't always work that way. when we were making the film, actually, arthur came out several times, with films together in different sequences, there is a clip you might show of us on a boat when he talks about struggling with learning as being like touching a porcupine, you cannot touch one because of its spikes. there is a way in which other and obviously people who think in pictures can sometimes really skew a thought in a way that perhaps people who don't think in pictures can't. it is an interesting dichotomy, in a way, he thinks in pictures partly because he struggles a little bit with finding the words to articulate, but when he
7:53 am
uses a simile or a metaphor it actually says so much more. it is a bit like poultry. —— poetry. actually says so much more. it is a bit like poultry. -- poetry. did it help you, 40 years on from your own schooldays, did it shed a light on the way things were back then?” think so. the motivation behind the documentary was to increase the awareness about dyslexia and try to explore whether it could be a gift. i had always felt that i, when i was his 88 shed some of the issues are buhas. i was quite behind at school isa-- buhas. i was quite behind at school is a —— his age i shared some of the issues are buhas. i thought i might learn about myself. what did you learn about myself. what did you learn about myself. what did you learn about yourself?” learn about myself. what did you learn about yourself? i went to have a dyslexia assessment. i discovered that i have a learning difficulty. it wasn't, to be honest with you, a
7:54 am
great surprise. the dyslexia assessors said she did not know that she could say i was dyslexic, but i think the truth of the situation is that now i am over 50, i have learned coping mechanisms. so in a wait those mechanisms would have disguised my dyslexia as i got older. the schmidtke in a way.” interviewed someone a few weeks ago talking about learning difficulties, documented in that it. that is what arpa is saying. you see in pictures. it is like a square and it is how you look at it. if you take on one way it'll totally different. another way it'll totally different. another way for someone else. someone in another school would never know they are dyslexic because they have never really struggled and they have been fine. i know!
7:55 am
really struggled and they have been fine. i know i am dyslexic because i have struggled. and also, a thing outside the box and stuff like that. lam krait outside the box and stuff like that. i am krait creative. it is quite a good thing to do. —— quite creative. richard branson has sought outside the box. what have you learned from the film. is that something that might make you approach next few years tivoli? i think go for it —— differently. always enjoy the time. we need the programme and we want to show dyslexia and make more people aware of it. it is like something so common, but it is blind to the i. you are at secondary school now. just started. how is the going? i am
7:56 am
really enjoying it. i have a funny feeling that nothing will hold you back. what a great sentence that was. blind to the eyes. that is my quote for the day. go for it. advice to live by. good luck. thank you for coming in. the film farther and sun: a dyslexic road trip is on bbc four at 9pm tonight. brilliant. we are heading towards eight o'clock. visitors to a sleepy seaside town may have had suspicious minds this weekend when they heard that the king had been spotted in the welsh resort of porthcawl. more than 40,000 rock'n'roll fans from around the world have been all shook up at the prospect of attending europe's largest elvis presley festival. alex humphries joined them. a seaside town in wales might not be the most obvious place for an elvis festival, but for thousands of fans this weekend, but calen south wales is the place to be. with 40,000
7:57 am
people are expected to turn up, it is no wonder it is the largest elvis festival in europe. i have come to the grand pavilion to find out what it is all about. i am not sure what to expect. let us go and have a look. take a look at this. some say the king isn't dead. he is certainly pretty present in here. these guys are waiting to perform at the personal‘s main event. this urge to find the best elvis tribute act. # beat my little good luck charm... -- be my little. this is my first time. iam from be my little. this is my first time. i am from hickory, north carolina. i started in 1993. i have been a fan since i was about macro. it was just something i decided i wanted to do.
7:58 am
—— four. kind of following my dream. what is it about this festival that makes it so special? i believe it is one of the biggest in the world. to be part of that is overwhelming.” think it isjust the songs. from country and western to rock 'n' roll. it touches everybody. established back in 2004, it draws in elders wannabes from around the world. the organiser peter phillips is proud of that success —— elvis. every year i say it will not get any bigger and every year it is. i don't know why. i think it is probably because it is the most ridiculous place to put an elvis festival. it has no connection. 40,000 people can hardly fit in the town. that is probably why it works. speaking to the fans, they like the fact that
7:59 am
elvis overwhelms the town.” the fans, they like the fact that elvis overwhelms the town. i think it is bonkers, but it is good fun. absolutely. we are down here all afternoon. we love it. some of the singers are really good. some are not. but some are really good. back in the pavilion if oseto almost over. it is now or never for some. others it will be heartbreak hotel. stay with us. headlines are on the way. good morning. welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and sally nugent. our headlines today. devastation in indonesia — more than 800 people have died because of the earthquake and tsunami. on the opening day of the conservative conference,
