most of us. a cloudy one. —— a mild start. rain coming in from the north—west. i will have more in 15. good morning. welcome to the programme. the british government has accused russian military intelligence of carrying out a series of major cyber attacks around the world. it claims the hackers, have targeted political institutions, businesses, media, and sport. sir bradley wiggins was among the athletes whose files were stolen during one attack on the world anti—doping agency. ben ando reports. in canada, private medical data relating to athletes like sir bradley wiggins is stolen and published. in ukraine, there is airport chaos in odessa, and chaos on the metro in here. in the run—up to the us presidential elections and witty 16, confidential democratic party witty16, confidential democratic party committee members messages are published. and a british tv

channel's e—mails are monitored. now the national cyber security centre says they are all russian military intelligence, the gru. foreign secretaryjeremy intelligence, the gru. foreign secretary jeremy hunt as intelligence, the gru. foreign secretaryjeremy hunt as they were reckless and indiscriminate, adding together with our allies we will expose and respond to the gru's attem pts expose and respond to the gru's atte m pts to expose and respond to the gru's attempts to undermine international stability. the national cyber security centre says it is highly confident that the gru was almost certainly responsible for these attacks and others. but what is the uk gained by making this public? some suggest that in the murky world of espionage and counter espionage shining a bright light on this is a useful tactic. they are getting good at attributing these attacks. i think that is the first art if you are going to retaliate. i think this is the precursor for the government is the precursor for the government is striking back in some way for these attacks. moscow is yet to respond, but when the battlefield is the world wide web, anyone online

could be on the frontline. , bbc. british aid charities are appealing for emergency funds to help survivors of the earthquake and tsunami in indonesia. at least 1,400 people are known to have been killed in last friday's disaster — officials expect the number to rise. the disasters emergency committee says 200,000 people need clean water, food and medical care. mariko oi reports from the city of palu. she's outside a shopping centre that was completely destroyed. of course, it was 5pm on friday when the earthquake struck, which means that there were many people inside enjoying shopping after finishing work. so there are fears that they mightfind many work. so there are fears that they might find many bodies inside. that is why the authorities continue to warn that the official death toll is likely to rise even further. while we continue to talk about tragedy, tragedies and how challenging it has been for the survivors to get hold

of food and water, i want to talk about the resilience of this city as well. they have finally started to get some food and water. they have started to trickle in. this morning we saw a family selling breakfast. we also saw people queueing up for petrol inside palu city, instead of having to go outside to get it, which is quite an improvement for the city. and while survivors have been really struggling to get hold of food and water, as soon as they got it they even started offering is to us. we have been struck by the generosity of people. and while this shopping plaza might have collapsed because of the earthquake, if you look at this side of the city, these buildings actually withstood the earthquake quite ok, as well as the rest of the city. and that really shows that while the earthquake did a loss of damage, it was really the tsunami and mudslides which took many of the lives. mariko oi reporting from the devastated city

palu in indonesia. the lawyer representing a woman who says she was raped by cristiano ronaldo says the metoo campaign inspired her to come forward. kathryn mayorga says she was attacked by the footballer in a las vegas hotel room nine years ago — something he firmly denies. our correspondent james cook reports from nevada. kathryn mayorga says cristiano ronaldo raped her here in las vegas in a hotel room in 2009. she says she reported that to police, and then the next year she reportedly accepted a settlement of 375,000 us dollars in exchange for remaining silent about the allegation. now what she is seeking to do is to extricate herself from that deal. at a news conference here on las vegas, her lawyer said she had been frightened by what had happened. it had a profound effect on her. he said she suffered from post—traumatic stress disorder and

depression, but he said recent events depression, but he said recent eve nts ha d depression, but he said recent events had given her the courage to come forward. the me too movement and the women who have stood up and it disclosed sexual assaults publicly has given kathryn a lot of courage. antil great extent has enabled her to come forward and allowed her to file a complaint and go to become police department. police here on las vegas have reopened the 2009 enquiry and say that the alleged victim at the time did not state where she had been attacked or by whom and they did not identify a suspect. that is disputed by kathryn mayorga's legal team. the lawyers for cristiano ronaldo say they will sue the german magazine der spiegel which originally published the claims. bbc dj mark radcliffe has announced he's taking time off from his radio 2 and 6 music shows to undergo treatment for cancer.

he told listeners about his diagnosis while presenting the folk show on wednesday evening. he says he hopes to be back on—air in the new year. uber eats couriers and a small number of workers from jd wetherspoon, mcdonald's, and tgi fridays are striking over pay today. walkouts will be held in several uk cities, as well as a rally in london. the industrial action is being taken in tandem with strikes by fast food workers on four continents. uber eats, jd wetherspoon, and mcdonald's have all defended their record on pay. three out of four children under five years old now have their own tablet, smartphone, or computer, according to new research. figures from research group childwise suggests pre—school children are increasingly using the devices to watch online video, sometimes for up to three hours a day. here's our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones. what about this one? the round one? for decades, television has been a

big feature in the lives of very young children, but now new technology is changing the way they view and what they see. this research shows that three quarters of underfive research shows that three quarters of under five year olds now have access to a connected devices such asa access to a connected devices such as a tablet or smart phone and half of all three and four —year—olds have their own one. what are they doing with? playing games and watching a lot of video. childwise questioned 1000 parents of under fives, they revealed that their children watch tv and online video for two hours and 48 minutes a day on average. cbeebies prom still the most popular channel, with 63% watching. that is dropping as they turn to things like youtube. boys are watching for longer periods than girls. but overall viewing is on the rise. children are getting access to a wide range of programmes on everything from the disney channel to netflix. the research also showed voice controlled gadgets such as

amazon eco or siri were in two thirds of preschool children's homes and they were using them to play nursery rhymes or ask questions, such as how big is the moon? astronomers in the us say they've detected a moon outside our solar system for the first time. they believe the exomoon, which is around 8,000 light—years away, is about the size of neptune and orbits a planet the size ofjupiter. it was picked up by nasa's hubble telescope by two us researchers. i know that you won't know the a nswer to i know that you won't know the answer to this, halys amin compared to the size of neptune? —— how does our men? i have no idea. good morning. don't ask me. i have no idea either. when we say we have a new moon and it is the size of neptune, we do how neptune is.

poring over linnell messi, he eclipsed everyone last night. he is 31. you have harry kane trying to emulate him. last night although the spurs played quite well, they were in the shadow of the genius. it is too late for me. what was the final school? 4-2 at wembley —— score. it was one of the great performances of all time. could had four goals. incredible stuff. we will get some reaction from some of the great footballers to the performance. having been mesmerised by the material messi, tottenham were pointless to from the first two jaliens the games. it wasn'tjust messi — they were also powerless to stop this stunning strike from ivan rakitic, but it was lionel messi who ran the show, scoring twice in barcelona's 4—2 win at wembley. no real upset there, but there was one in italy

where liverpool lost to napoli. lorenzo, in—signee, scored the only goal of the game in the final minute of the match. liverpool couldn't manage a single shot on target for the first time since 2012. andrew strauss has stepped down as england's director of cricket. he'd taken a break from the role in may, while his wife received treatment for cancer. he says the time away, has given him time to consider what's right for england, and what's right for his family. and football and rugby world cups, the starts of all three of cycling's grand tours, the ryder cup and the world athletics championship, are just some of the major events uk sport wants to host. that is not a bad list, really. where could we host the ryder cup? we have had at gleneagles. where else? in england, perhaps. it had the seniors open. it is all about the seniors open. it is all about the stands. there are so many people. and the axis. the roads around. there is something to put uk

sport. why not? pouring water on their ambitions. i amjust sport. why not? pouring water on their ambitions. i am just asking questions. it is six: twell. a look at the papers injust questions. it is six: twell. a look at the papers in just a questions. it is six: twell. a look at the papers injust a moment. first we will have a chat the weather. good morning. yesterday the top ten protegee 21 celsius. today, once again, we could see similar temperatures in parts of the south—east. pat top temperature. there is cloud around, also some fog, some of us will see sunny conditions. others, we have a weather front coming in across the north—west. this will produce rain. some of that will be heavy. before it arrives in eastern scotland, some sunshine and temperate as well rise. bob up cross parts of wales and into the midlands, east anglia, for example, that will be slow to lift —— fold. in the sunshine we have temperatures up to 20 or 21. behind this band of rain we will have

something brighter coming our way after the heavy rain this morning. that band of rain continues to sink southwards as we had through the evening and overnight, across southern scotland into northern england, northern ireland, clear skies following behind. it will feel cool as well. a touch of frost around. as we move further south cloud around. once again we will seek mist and fog patches. similar to how we started today. perhaps getting into the midlands more than we are this morning. mighty mouse in the south. up to 12. —— quite a mild night. we had this weather front, the south. up to 12. —— quite a mild night. we had this weatherfront, in no great rush to push south. eventually it will. the ice the north tell you it will be windy. you can see the dividing line between the cooler air in the north and the milderair in the the cooler air in the north and the milder air in the south. through the course of friday here is the weather front. reducing rain across southern

scotland, northern england, and moving out of northern ireland and across north—west wales and other parts of wales. a band of cloud around it too. fresh conditions behind that and some showers. you can see the fresher conditions indicated by the green. milder and warmer conditions indicated by the yellow and orange. the top temperature in the low 20s. in aberdeen, we are looking at considerably cooler. into the weekend, eventually that weather front will sink southwards. you can see the rain associated with it. behind that, some brighter skies. suntan coming through. 12 showers dotted around. behind this front, cooler air is starting to come down —— suntan coming through. in the south you will notice that. 20, 21. there will be a big dip. you will notice that for sure. it is looking horrible. it is

autumn, what do you expect? one of those moods i'm in, carol. at home, no! we'll have this all morning! it's only 6:15am! all morning long! carol, see you later! let's take a look at some of the front pages. good morning, mike and bennie. all the papers have reported on theresa may's dance moves at yesterday's conservative party conference. the times uses a sequence of five images and the headline focuses on her promise to end austerity. the guardian has a similar treatment of mrs may's speech, but with just three pictures of the pm in action. she was addressing austerity. we'll have a chat about that with our guests later. many people have been amused and

enjoy the prime minister's taking the mickey out of herself and seeing the mickey out of herself and seeing the funny side of herself. the daily mirrorfails to see the funny side, saying the pm has more important matters to attend to, like brexit negotiations and the nhs. they have the headline: the front pages prove her activities, as in the walk on and the dance routine has dominated the front pages. every front page has a picture of her doing just that and if she did a regular speech, it wouldn't have happened. but the metro takes a more light—hearted approach, with no less than eight images of mrs may's moves and the headline "poll dancer." online, people are sending their best wishes to mark radcliffe, the bbc radio broadcaster, who has revealed that he needs treatment for cancerous cells in his tongue and lymph nodes. his name was trending on twitter overnight after he announced the news on his radio 2 folk show yesterday. we wish him all the best. what have you got, ben? picking up on the speech from theresa may yesterday. on the front of all the pages,

including the financial times, they're picking up not on the dancing but the end of austerity and a warning that the tough times are now over but as long as we spend within our means. we'll get the budget at the end of the month, a big question about whether there's any money in that to pay for the things theresa may is promising. she may say that the age of austerity is over ten years after the end of the financial crisis, but there are serious questions about where any of the money will come from to reverse some of those austerity measures put in place. a quick look elsewhere, in the mail, the number of high street shops we've lost on the high street and they put it at 3000 over the la st and they put it at 3000 over the last four years have been closed. talking about that crisis, something we've discussed lots on the programme, how to get people back onto the high street, particularly because of traditional names, house of fraser, john lewis, all struggling because of the likes of amazon. it's notjust how many have

gone but the shops that certain brands attract people to the high street and other shops benefit. we talk about mainstays of the high street that are always there but they will only always be there because, if we go there, and that's the problem with online, taking a slice of the action that they were otherwise guaranteed. mike, what have you got? lionel messi, best bar none, alan shearer tweeted that he is the best, skill, were great, attitude and artist. messi kisses tottenham bid by, the times, they still have a chance against psv and they have to win against inter milan at home —— goodbye. how do you get kids to be more active? reading at school? well, perhaps on these bike machines. pupils at a class at a school in lowestoft, the red oak primary, they are on bike machines during the class. apparently they

can burn 600 calories a day pedalling away the. that would be great for us while we are doing the sport and business —— pedalling away. it's like you have a starbucks in one hand and an ipad in the other. other copy brands are available! what happened to playtime? they do that as well. -- what other coffee — — playtime? they do that as well. -- what other coffee —— other coffee brands are available. commuters could earn a free train ticket if they did 30 situps or, whatever they are called. on the messi theme, i'm not hugely into my football —— oar one. he is the kind of player, sportsperson, who you will want to go and see —— or burpees. sportsperson, who you will want to go and see -- or burpees. even the greats like gary lineker last night we re greats like gary lineker last night were covering the game and saying it was a privilege and an honour to

witness what he was seeing. that doesn't happen in many sports many times, the likes of federer... there are some you have to see... fall those tottenham fans, to have been there, it is something they can tell future generations that they saw the greatest player of all—time —— word for all those. the big kid that dominates when a person gets the ball and runs around and controls the game from all around —— for all those. you don't often see it at that level. i want to do a straw poll. have you started using paper straws? yes. do you think they are any good? i'm going to do a little experiment, four paper straws in water. there have been complaints that we are using paper straws but they aren't up using paper straws but they aren't up to the job. they are using them to avoid plastic straws because of the damage to the environment. how long are you going to leave them in

there, how long does it take to drinka there, how long does it take to drink a glass of water? all morning. it is more for the kids, my daughters have never complained about paper straws. it's not a problem, not an issue. we will leave them in there and see what happens. pretty sturdy right now. it's been almost a year since blue planet two highlighted the damage plastic is doing to marine life. one of the items under scrutiny is the plastic straw, now demand for a paper version has soared and it's provided a business opprtunity for producers in the uk, as our consumer affairs correspondent, coletta smith, finds out. this is lovely... this time last year, sandra and herfamily were doing what most of the country were doing. everyone was talking about blue planet and we were watching it and thinking, there is something we can do the. but unlike the rest of us, sandra and a group of friends decided to take a pretty bold decision.

we said let's try and go and do this, let's get some paper straw machines and try and get rid of the plastic straws out there that you find on all the beaches and on the streets and in the gutters and all the rest of it, so that's what we did. we started with one machine. we did know how to work it. but now we're at four machines. it's still small scale at the moment but these machines are churning out 1 million straws a week. there's a growing list of orders as customers in hotels, cafes and pubs are demanding change. we do find that people are deliberately asking to not have the straw in the drink. it's not until we tell them that we actually do have paper straws that they will accept it anyway. with bars, restaurants and cafes all struggling to keep up with customer demand at the moment, if you are given a paper straw, the likelihood is it's going to have been flown in from china, and that raises more questions about just from china, and that raises more questions aboutjust how green it really is.

so this is our main warehouse where we picked... there a big change in orders at henry's catering supply company. they now sell more paper straws than plastic ones, but he has to fly them in as no one could make another straws quickly and up here. customers will buy trentin they are still four times the price, three to four times the price of the plastic straw. you've had bars and restaurants coming to you saying their customers are demanding paper straws? absolutely, andi demanding paper straws? absolutely, and i think this trend is consumer led. they don't want plastic straws in their paper drinks —— in their drinks. even companies as big as mcdonald's have swallowed that extra cost and switched to paper straws as customers want to feel like they're doing their bit for the environment. to make it a greener choice, sandra's hoping more of those straws will be made here in the uk.

who knows how big we could be, we're really excited by the process and we're happy to be making a change. coletta smith, bbc news. it is something people are talking about and trying to make a change for the better. we can't do an experiment here. you might have thoughts on that and whether your habits have changed. all for the better. let us know. what do you do if you're a dad out with your baby and you need to change their nappy and there are no changing facilities in the men's toilets? it's something a lot of dads can relate to. an instagram post from father—of—three donte palmer in florida, which shows him changing his baby on his lap, has gone viral. he's now asking other dads to post similar pictures. we spoke to him earlier. i went to the restroom and there was no changing table around, so i got into my perfect man squat, i threw a bmb into my perfect man squat, i threw a lamb over my lap and started

changing. without my knowledge, all without me even knowing, i was snapping pictures of doing this whole ordeal. i didn't find out until we got back to the table and realised he took the pictures. he showed his mum, he had a good laugh and what my wife said stuck out, she says it's weird how mothers don't have to get creative or make innovative ways to changing a diaper, but you have to... you had to be creative and you had to do a ninja squat to change our son and she doesn't think it's their. at that moment it still didn't resonate until about two weeks later when i said that was a powerful picture and a powerful statement that she made —— it's fair. that's when i posted it and after that it blew up out of control. donte, it has gone viral, but lots of chatter about that. lots of

people will relate to that, both mums and dads. get in touch with us about that. you can e—mail us at bbcbrea kfast@bbc. co. uk or share your thoughts with other viewers on our facebook page. and you can tweet about today's stories. you're watching breakfast. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, ain zara orchard. the wife of pc keith palmer, who was killed in the westminster terror attack, has spoken out following the conclusion of the inquest into his death and the four others killed during the incident. michelle palmer's solicitor, patrick mcguire, explained yesterday would have been the police officer's 50th birthday. shejust the police officer's 50th birthday. she just wanted to understand how keith was an unarmed officer was left at the palace of westminster, the gates of the palace of westminster, with no an protection.

she's pleased the coroner has acknowledged and investigated why there was no protection at the palace of westminster, no armed protection at the palace of westminster. a special stone thought to have stood in london since prehistoric times is being returned to its original home after being temporarily moved to the museum of london. the london stone was moved away while construction took place on callan street. it's thought it brought the city luck and survived the great fire of london and the blitz. now it's been returned with a new plaque explaining its history. todayis new plaque explaining its history. today is national poetry day and a chance for everyone everywhere to read, share and enjoy poetry. our collea g u es read, share and enjoy poetry. our colleagues at bbc radio london commissioned a poem on this subject of change. amy's dad ensued looming over, hand on her hip, a rose the colour of a wound, nestled in her beehive —— amy's dad statue looming over. ——

amy's dad statue looming over. —— amy's dad statue looming over. —— amy's dad statue. if you want to hear more of her poetry you can visit our website. let's ta ke let's take a look at the travel situation this morning. we start on the tubes, where we have a good service at the moment on all lines. on the trains, south—western services between egham and stains have been suspended due to a blindside fire. on the roads, docklands, the connaught bridge is closed for maintenance work with traffic heading towards london city airport and out of hackney towards leighton, leverage road is closed eastbound from the leverage roundabout chatsworth road because of emergency waterworks. let's get the weather with elizabeth. turning into a lovely day yet again with good spells of sunshine, beautiful autumnal scenes, just like this one but to begin the morning, patches of mist and fog so poor visibility on some of the roads and fog reported at some of the

airports. the mist and fog should have lifted and cleared by the middle part of the morning, but a grey start to the day. sunshine eventually breaking through, feeling pleasa ntly warm eventually breaking through, feeling pleasantly warm in the sunshine with top temperatures of 19 or possibly 20 celsius with a light breeze. another barely mild night overnight tonight, more mist and fog maybe into tomorrow and tomorrow is the nicest day of the week, lots of sunshine and 22 but a shock on saturday, cold, windy and rather wet. i'll be back with the latest from the bbc london news room in half an hour. plenty more from the website at our usual address. time to get back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, and coming up on breakfast today we'll find out what happened when charlie caught up with rod stewart. they discuss their great hair, football, and family life. also this morning, we'll hear from the frustrated dad whose plea

for more changing tables in men's bathrooms has gone viral. and after eight, we're asking if there's enough support in place for athletes once they retire. olympic gold—medallist amy williams will tell us how her skeleton career took a toll on her body. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. the british government has accused russian military intelligence, the gru, of carrying out a series of major cyber attacks around the world. the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt says the hackers, known as fancy bears, have been waging a campaign of "reckless" strikes targeting political institutions, businesses, media and sport. british aid charities are appealing for emergency funds to help survivors of the earthquake and tsunami in indonesia. at least 1,400 people are known to have been killed in last friday's disaster — officials expect the number to rise. the disasters emergency committee says 200,000 people need clean water, food, and medical care.

the lawyer representing a woman who says she was raped by cristiano ronaldo says the me too campaign inspired her to come forward. kathryn mayorga says she was attacked by the footballer in a las vegas hotel room nine years ago — something he firmly denies. bbc dj mark radcliffe has announced he's taking time off from his radio 2 and 6 music shows to undergo treatment for mouth cancer. he told listeners about his diagnosis while presenting the folk show on wednesday evening. he says he hopes to be back on—air in the new year. three out of four children underfive—years—old now have their own tablet, smart—phone or computer, according to new research. figures from research group childwise suggests pre—school children are increasingly using the devices to watch online video, sometimes for up to three hours a day. the organisation that represents police officers in england and wales has launched a legal challenge against the government, over what it calls a "derisory" pay rise. in the summer the home secretary,

sajid javid, decided against awarding officers an increase of 3% — a figure recommended by an independent body. the police federation said its members feel "betrayed" and "cheated". how's this for the ultimate toy car — a working bugatti made entirely of lego. the car, which is unveiled today at the paris auto show, is made of more than a million plastic pieces and weighs one and a half tons. it comes complete with a working engine, also made of lego, which gives it a top speed of 18 miles per—hour. just thinking, does it come with a manual? all those pieces! quite easy to repair though. better you than me. several million pieces. kisluk

are watertight than? i am just thinking of the engine. it needs fuel. —— is lego. thinking of the engine. it needs fuel. -- is lego. ithink it is electric. is it? i only caught half the story. shall we get on with the sport? what is a real driver or lego men? the way he controlled the game last night, i haven't seen anything like that at wembley for a long time. he was around in 2009, 2010, winning the champions league. still mesmerising the opposition. i am glad his name begins with them, magnificent, material, mesmerising. —— with the letter m. settle for the great man. many think he's the best player of all time — and last night in london lionel messi showed why. he scored two of barcelona's goals in their 4—2 champions league win over tottenham, which leaves spurs

without a point in the group stage. meanwhile a last minute goal saw liverpool beaten by napoli. patrick gearey rounds up the action from both matches. lionel messi's spent a career taking breath away. this was a game that made even him nuts. genius is still have do so. the goat he had worked. —— he had to work. the problem for spurs is that once you have stopped lionel messi all coutinho or louise suarez, even rakitic does this. don't try that at home. tottenham looked as threadbare as the warm wembley pitch. damage from lars ricken's just law fight, harry kane came off the roads with a mighty counter—punch, 2—1, for about four minutes. then barcelona went up a gear without ever revving the engine. this kora, lionel messi, of

course. he had already hit the post was. surely game over. somehow spurs surge once more. somehow eroglu mala's shot went in. somehow they believed. they were fighting into the final minutes —— erik lamela. brilliant calm and brilliant chaos. a less frantic but similarly draining night for liverpool in naples. they lost their summer signing to entering the first and never found their rhythm. they are second in the league and liverpool cannot say they were not warned. in the last minute of the 90 they did win it. a local boy once called the italian lionel messi, in those moments it must have felt like the real thing. and it's safe to say the world of twitter was impressed. here's a few tweets from after the game last night. alan shearer "messi, the best ever — goals, skill, work rate, attitude, an artist." gary lineker asked if there's ever been a better player. and rio ferdinand praised the "messiah".

gaving said all that, who needs, messi when you have adam reach. for the second match running, he took aim for sheffield wednesday. last night he did to west brom what he had done it to leeds. he did the same last friday. and even though, wes brom, scoredn two late goals to salvage a 2—2 draw. fans were left talking about the range of reach whenver he gets the ball now they scream shoooot. we've seen our first sacking in the top two divisions, with steve bruce losing his job, at aston villa. bruce had been in charge at aston villa for just under two years. he guided them to the championship play off final last season where they lost to fulham. but the club have won only once in their last 11 games, and are 13th in the table. andrew strauss has stepped down as england's director of cricket.

he'd taken a break from the role in may while his wife received treatment for cancer. he says the time away has given him time to consider what's right for england, and what's right for his family. andy flower will continue to cover for strauss while a full time replacement is found. he has done a fantasticjob. he has been really good for me. you know, with the planning towards the 2019 world cup and the way we want to be playing our one—day cricket or our test cricket. look, he has been, he has been sensational. the spectator half blinded by a golf ball at the ryder cup says she doesn't blame brooks koepka for her trauma. corine remande was in the crowd next to a fairway when the wayward shot hit her. she says she's lucky to be alive. i have nothing against the play. because i play golf and i know i am

only against the marshall. nobody came to see me to take the news. there is nobody that feels was about this than i do. it is a tragic accident, what happened. i mean, i am heartbroken. i accident, what happened. i mean, i am heartbroken. lam accident, what happened. i mean, i am heartbroken. i am all messed up inside. i don't think... definitely in my career it will be the one shot that i definitely regret. obviously feeling the pain. but obviously the poor lady, it is such a rare thing, but she is and she was not given enough warning by the muscles. this is the difficulty. —— marshals. when you hit a wayward shot you are supposed to shout. and you shouted loud. it doesn't matter how loud it is, it is the warning to put people off. there has been criticism of golf is not doing that and just

waving their hands. and the marshals, with the crowds, are supposed to catch this and want. i have been hit by a golf ball a couple of times. thank goodness nothing as bad as that. but when you are spectating you balls travelling... and you lose track. we wish her well. you can see how bad he feels about it. you just wish you well. absolutely. thank you. new great britain hockey coach danny kerry took charge of his first game at the lee valley centre in london. gb took on belgium in a game that celebrated the 30th anniversary of their famous gold medal victory at the 1988 seoul olympics. a 2—1 victory for gb added to the celebrations. now finally how about this. earlier this year a brazilian surfer set a world record for the largest wave ever surfed by a woman when she successfully glided through a terrifyingly enormous 68—foot wave off the coast of portugal. it takes you a while to figure out

in front of the wave. look how much water will be on top of her if she get something wrong. mesmerizing video of maya gabeira flying through the ginormous wave from trough to crest was captured by the world surf league videographers at their competition earlier this year in nazare. she has been presented with a guinness world records certificate. it is the least she deserves. absolutely terrifying. there are jet ski is nearby. the amount of water... i suppose you can get away with it on the jet ski. thank you very much. the time is 6:40. as adults we're never usually far from our smartphones and tablets, but new research suggests that children under five are increasingly glued to them too. a report by research group childwise shows they're spending nearly three hours a day on connected devices. jackie marsh, professor of education at the university of sheffield is here to tell us more. tell us what the figures are

showing. the report is not from the university of sheffield. the correlates well with research we have undertaken over the past ten yea rs. we have undertaken over the past ten years. we did a survey of 2000 pa rents of years. we did a survey of 2000 parents of under fives and found that the top at four under fives was youtube. as the report states also. three out of four children under five, the report states, has access toa five, the report states, has access to a tablet, smartphone, or a computer. are you surprised by that? iam not computer. are you surprised by that? i am not surprised. tablets have been getting cheaper. children are often passed on all tablets and smartphones by parents. i think they are being increasingly targeted this age group by ondemand services such as netflix and amazon prime. it is no surprise that children, there is a high uptake of this age group. regardless of whether it is a surprise, is it a positive or a

negative? technology is a tool that can be used positively and negatively. there are many benefits of children engaging with technology from a young age. well—designed apps that are appropriate for the age, learning can provide a range of benefits, cognitive, linguistic, social. but like anything, we have to watch children's used. when we talk to parents about this we talk about moderating the use, managing it effectively, making sure your child is not using technology for an extended length of time. but also mediating, playing and learning with your child. the technological age, where everything changes so quickly, if you are not familiar with technology you will be behind. you had a toddler whose first words were skip ads. is that scary or natural? that is natural. they in a technological word and they will learn some manners issa goes along

with that and learn some of those practices. —— they live in a. it is no different from when they were growing up in a nondigital agent copied what their parents were doing. this notion of parents being models is important. when your child is talking to you, put the phone down, talk back to them. model that good behaviour. the good news is, in much of our research at the university of sheffield, we found that children of this age group are still playing traditional games, playing the traditional toys. so screen media is one part of a healthy diet for the majority of children. it is one thing for a five—year—old to be spending a certain amount of time, you could argue whether it is good or bad, spending a lot of time on a device, a two—year—old, a child of 18 months? is there a point in those early years where it cannot be good? yes. leaving children of that age group unattended... which age group?

under two. living unattended to look at sprint is not good practice. we need to talk to parents about mediating that use. certainly, there are some very good apps for that age group about colours and shapes. by using that with an adult rather than being left with the device alone. when you are at that age, those formative years, you are supposed to be establishing depth with your eyesight, is this damaging to your eyesight, is this damaging to your eyesight to be put in front of a screen at that young age? eyesight to be put in front of a screen at that young age7m eyesight to be put in front of a screen at that young age? if you are leaving a child in front of a screen for extended periods of time that would be damaging to their health. half an hour? there is different research. a standard time is probably simplistic. it depends on the context and how it is being used. i would use some of the well—designed apps for eight—year—old drops to ten minutes. you are a professor of education, are you worried that there is something we don't know about this,

in 20 is time someone in your position will look back and say, well, all those years they were doing that and the harm it was doing —— fora doing that and the harm it was doing —— for a two—year—old. do you have any nagging doubts about this?” think we could always do with good research that identifies what children are doing and what the possible advantages and disadvantages of technological use. there is a danger in 20 is time that particular aspects of technology that we have not looked into closely that we have not looked into closely that we have not looked into closely that we might find some detrimental effects —— 20 years time. sun yue technologies coming in, such as virtual reality, we know virtually nothing about how children engage with that and what safe uses are for young children. so we do we need more research in that area to give pa rents more research in that area to give parents and teachers advise. professor marsh, thank you very much. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. we've been quite blessed i think with some nice weather for the start of october. i've enjoyed it anyway. good morning. the temperatures have been higher than we would expect as

well and for some that will continue, with higher than average temperatures. yesterday southampton got to 21. today we could well see something similar in the south—east, but there's a lot of cloud around first thing and some mist and fog, some of which is dense. we have this weather front coming from the north—west, that will introduce some rain and some of that rain will also be heavy. before it gets into eastern scotland, sunshine for you, and where we've got the fort in south wales, southern england, parts of the midlands and east anglia, that will lift initially into low cloud but it will break and we will see sunshine eventually. sunshine following on behind the front across northern scotland but the rain quite heavy as it goes southwards, a cross into northern ireland. splashes of rain across parts of northern england as well with a few showers behind. the cloud where we have is thick enough to produce the odd spot of drizzle. these are the overall temperatures today. fresher behind a

weather front, still in the temperatures today. fresher behind a weatherfront, still in the milder conditions further south. for some, feeling quite humid. as we head on through the evening and overnight, our weather front continues its descent, slipping slowly south. behind it, clear skies. descent, slipping slowly south. behind it, clearskies. a descent, slipping slowly south. behind it, clear skies. a cold night with pockets of frost and ahead of it once again we will see fog patches developing in similar areas to the nightjust gone, but perhaps more in the midlands and another mild night ahead of the weather front. tomorrow we start off with that weather front, in front. tomorrow we start off with that weatherfront, in no front. tomorrow we start off with that weather front, in no great rush to get to the south of england. all the cloud associated with it here and the rain fairly light and the as it moves across northern england and through wales. for scotland and northern ireland, brighter skies with sunshine and a few showers and equally there will be some sunshine ahead of it across the south—east with temperatures 21, possibly locally we could even see 22. keeping with this front, it rea ctivates a keeping with this front, it reactivates a touch during saturday,

so the rain in it across england and wales will be heavy. it won't necessarily be in cumbria and northumberland. we expect you to be in drier conditions, along with scotla nd in drier conditions, along with scotland and northern ireland, seeing some sunshine. but look at the difference in temperature. behind this weather front, it's going to be much, much cooler and evenin going to be much, much cooler and even in all this rain, you'll notice the draft, 22 celsius potentially on friday. way down to 11 or 12. then on sunday we lose this weather front, still a bit of uncertainty about the exact timing of when that happens. not a bad day, a fair bit of sunshine across england and wales but rain coming in across the north—west with its cloud means it will feel pretty cool. although the temperatures will be lower in england and also wales than they have been, with the sunshine, hopefully that will compensate. hopefully. carol, thanks very much! see you later. it's the biggest day of the year for bookshops with more than 650 new titles hitting the shelves. ben is looking at this for us.

it is all because of christmas in a funny kind of way? am i allowed to say that? i'm glad you did because you won't tell me for saying it. absolutely true. the booksellers, authors and publishers are one step ahead of us and they've decided what we'll be reading for christmas. they've already decided what we'll want to buy and read this year, and crucially, give as gifts this christmas. there will be 660 new titles in bookshops from today, the vast majority are hardbacks. we bought 249 million books in the uk last year, worth nearly £2 billion. a pretty lucrative market to be in! meryl halls is managing director at the booksellers association. she's with me now. good morning, meryl. we said this is all about christmas. you guys have been working on this for months, and had as the date they hit the shops.

it's the biggest had as the date they hit the shops. it‘s the biggest pre— had as the date they hit the shops. it's the biggest pre— christmas selling period —— and today's the day. it isn't orchestrated. we are interested in how this impacts bookshops. we ran a day for bookshops. we ran a day for bookshops on saturday. a huge number of titles, the big publishers want to get their big titles out so customers know what's coming. booksellers are telling us christmas shopping has started, horrifying in early october! it seems to get earlier every year! talking bookshops, good news for the industry because there's been a slowdown in the number of independent bookshops closing. the king around any high street, i see more bookshops, the likes of wh smith opening, though bookshops are back —— looking around. smith opening, though bookshops are back -- looking around. we've had a 22 year decline in the number of independents, that's a bellwether measure, not the whole story. wh smith is opening as well. the number of book shop closures has slowed and

we had more last year at the end of last year than at the beginning so that's really good. what's driving that? is it the idea that we value advice when it comes to books? i could walk into a shop and say i liked this book, what else do i need to read? liked this book, what else do i need to read ? that liked this book, what else do i need to read? that died out for a while. there was the digital revolution and people got assessed with e—books, they got hysterical and were very excited but the pendulum swung back to the physical. people want the experience of talking to a real person and getting recommendations. bookshops are fantastic at curating, they will buy books or customers they will buy books or customers they know very well and they are embedded in their communities and there's a sense of community yearning. people want something that isn't screen time, they want to talk to people about different things. on the e—book physical book divide, a real 180 in terms of how we perceive our use of e—books, physical books are definitely back? the e-book market was down 7% last year and

printed book sales have gone up, 0.5% value and 2% volume, small but the third year in a row they have gone up. it's about the physical object and the relationship you've got ofte n object and the relationship you've got often with a very beautiful object. bookshops are fantastic at curating that object. bookshops are fantastic at cu rating that fantastic object. bookshops are fantastic at curating that fantastic stuff. you can't browse online yearly as easily. what i've we buy in, what will sell well this christmas? often celebrity memoirs at this time of year —— what are we buying. david attenborough, jamie oliver, michelle obama. a huge market for children as well. we have a new michael mirpur p090, well. we have a new michael mirpur pogo, julia donaldson, and others. there are a lot to choose from. often beautifully displayed in bookshops. you can go out and come out with —— you can go in and come out with —— you can go in and come out with —— you can go in and come out with something you didn't want.

what should be on my christmas list this year? i'm keen on the new lauren child and the michelle obama biography. i will write to father christmas for that! i will see you later. i will add christmas for that! i will see you later. iwill add it christmas for that! i will see you later. i will add it to your list as well. depends on whether you've been naughty or nice. jacqueline wilson is going to be with us later this morning. looking forward to that later on. around 8:45am. we will chat to her then. thanks, ben. of all the stars we like talking to, we have some you have an affinity with. rod stewart and you, how did that go? p has a new album out, i will say it upfront, he's happy to talk about it, 73 years old —— he has a new album out. he's about to release his 30th album. you never know what's going to happen when you speak to him. 0k, ok, charlie? are you going to look

down the lens and start the interview. i'll look down here in the shot, charlie? a wonderful set of hairs. set it isa it is a magnificent maine that you have and it rains on top of your head. —— mayne. have and it rains on top of your head. -- mayne. hasn't changed much over the years that it remains on top. it isa it is a reflection of a couple of tracks of what's gone before. the song didn't i, that feels like of all the songs on this new album, it feels like the one that's most personal. it is and it isn't. it's

from a parent's perspective, and of course i'm a parent eight times over. it's just making course i'm a parent eight times over. it'sjust making parents course i'm a parent eight times over. it's just making parents aware of what's out there. because having eight children, as i said, they haven't dabbled with drugs. well, one of them has but my kids are all clea n one of them has but my kids are all clean but it could have been a different story, could have been a different story, could have been a different story, could have been a different story altogether. you're 73, you said it yourself, do you surprise yourself? i'm 73, do you surprise yourself? i'm 73, do you ever have that moment when you 90, you ever have that moment when you go, i'm in my mid— seventies! i get go, i'm in my mid— seventies! iget up go, i'm in my mid— seventies! i get up on stage and i see how many people i'm going to make happy, and still making records and bringing up children. i'm farfrom retiring. suppose we were sent back to 1971, for example, maggie may hasjust come out. who would've thought? —— maggie made. —— maggie may. maggie made. —— maggie may.

maggie may was about your first sexual experience. people love that song and the words resonate so much, is it something you would care to just sing for us now? maybe just a little bit? oh, grace, just hold me in yourarms and little bit? oh, grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger. they'll take me out at dawn andi linger. they'll take me out at dawn and i will die. with all my love, i place this wedding ring upon your finger. there's a song off the album called grace, it's about the easter uprising. i feel like something official has just happened. will need to let people know. it's been a delight. i'll see you in three years! yes! -- we'll need to let people know. they're not all fun, these! he's right, they‘ re he's right, they're not all fun. if you can call a 73—year—old mischievous, that is what rod stewart is like. he has his own

thing going on. rod stewart's album is called blood red roses. he is very good company, he is not dull. did he have soft hands? i wasn't thinking about it at the time, iwas wasn't thinking about it at the time, i was wondering whether we got engaged. you did! charlie and rod sitting in a tree! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sara orchard. the wife of pc keith palmer, who was killed in the westminster terror attack, has spoken out following the conclusion of the inquest into his death and the four others killed during the incident. michelle palmer's solicitor, patrick maguire, explained yesterday would have been the police officer's 50th birthday. she just wanted to understand how keith, aas an unarmed officer, she just wanted to understand how keith, as an unarmed officer, was left at the palace of westminster, the gates of the palace of westminster, with no protection. she's pleased the coroner has acknowledged and investigated as to why there was no protection at the palace of westminster, no armed protection at the palace of westminster. a special stone which is thought

to have stood in london since prehistoric times is being returned to its original home after being temporarily moved to the museum of london. the london stone was moved away while construction took place on cannon street. it's thought it brought the city luck and survived the great fire of london and the blitz. now it's been returned with a new plaque explaining its history. today is national poetry day and a chance for everyone everywhere to read, share and enjoy poetry. our colleagues at bbc radio london commissioned momtaza mehri to write a poem on this year's subject of change. amy's statue looming over, hand on her hip, a rose the colour of a wound, nestled in her beehive. change is a backhanded kind of love. it's a test with no correct answers. we leave or are left behind, but what is ours is ours. if you want to hear more of her poetry you can visit our website, bbc.co.uk/london.

let's take a look at the travel situation this morning. we start on the tube, where we have a good service at the moment on all lines. south—western services by staines and virginia water have been suspended due to a blindside fire. ford is affecting junction 5 of the m25. -- ford is affecting junction 5 of the m25. —— fog is affecting junction 5 of the m25. on the roads, docklands, the connaught bridge is closed for maintenance work with traffic heading for london city airport. let's get the weather with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. it's going to turn into a lovely day of weather yet again across the capital with some good spells of sunshine, beautiful autumnal scenes, just like this one but to begin the morning, patches of mist and fog so poor visibility on some of the roads and fog reported at some of the airports.

the mist and fog should have lifted and cleared by the middle part of the morning, but a grey start to the day. sunshine eventually breaking through, feeling pleasantly warm in the sunshine with top temperatures of 19 or possibly 20 celsius with a light breeze. another barely mild night overnight tonight, more mist and fog maybe into tomorrow and tomorrow is the nicest day of the week, lots of sunshine and 22 but a shock on saturday, cold, windy and rather wet. i'll be back with the latest from the bbc london news room in half an hour. plenty more from the website at our usual address. time to get back to charlie and naga. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: a direct accusation — the uk government says russian military intelligence was behind high profile cyber attacks on political institutions, business, media, and sport. an appeal is launched for emergency funds to help survivors of the earthquake and tsunami in indonesia —

which has taken more than 1400 lives. the prime minister's abba arrival. we'll ask if she made the right moves to get he conservative party behind her. a walkout — for takeout. drivers and couriers for takeaway delivery firm uber eats go on strike today in six cities across the uk in a protest over pay and safety. a magical messi masterclass. lights up wembley, but means tottenham may now struggle to stay in this season's champions league. good morning. a cloudy start to the day. at she and fog. sunny spells developing. there is also a band of rain coming in across the of scotland. more details in 15 minutes. good morning. it is thursday the

fourth of october. the british government has accused russian military intelligence of carrying out a series of major cyber attacks around the world. it claims the hackers, have targeted political institutions, businesses, media and sport. sir bradley wiggins was among the athletes whose files were stolen during one attack on the world anti—doping agency. ben ando reports. in canada, private medical data relating to athletes like sir bradley wiggins is stolen and published. in ukraine, there is airport chaos in odessa, and chaos on the metro in kiev. in the run—up to the us presidential elections and 2016, confidential democratic party committee messages are published. and a british tv channel's e—mails are monitored. hacker groups were blamed. now the national cyber security centre says they are all russian military intelligence, the gru. foreign secretary jeremy hunt says they were "reckless and indiscriminate, adding together with our allies we will expose and respond to the gru's attempts to undermine international stability".

the national cyber security centre says it is highly confident that the gru was almost certainly responsible for these attacks and others. but what has the uk gain by making this public? some suggest that in the murky world of espionage and counter espionage shining a bright light on this is a useful tactic. they are getting good at attributing these attacks. i think that is the first art if you are going to retaliate. i think this is the precursor for the government striking back in some way for these attacks. moscow is yet to respond, but when the battlefield is the world wide web, anyone online could be on the frontline. ben ando, bbc. british aid charities are appealing for emergency funds to help survivors of the earthquake and tsunami in indonesia. at least 1,400 people are known to have been killed in last friday's disaster — officials expect the number to rise. the disasters emergency committee says 200,000 people need clean

water, food and medical care. mariko oi has filed this report from the city of palu. the government has said friday as the deadline to look for any more survivors. and there are many more places they haven't actually managed to reach. for example, there is a shopping mall, where we have been broadcasting from for the past several days. they only managed to get that heavy machinery in last night. when they started clearing the rubble, immediately afterward they found one body. of course, the earthquake hit at 5pm on friday, when many people would have been shopping. there are fears that many more bodies could be found. that is why the authorities continue to warn that the official death toll is expected to rise. but while we continue to talk about tragedies and

how much challenge, how many challenges aid agencies have been facing, i want to talk about the resilience of the city. people, for example, today, have started selling food on the street and even though they have been struggling for days to get hold of food and water, as soon as to get hold of food and water, as soon as they got some they were generous enough to start offering them to us as well. also, while this building might have collapsed, if you look at this side of the city, for example, all these buildings are quite ok. and on the same street there are many houses as well as buildings which actually withstood the earthquake. that really goes to show that while the earthquake did a loss of damage, it was really the tsunami which killed many of the victims ——a loss of. tsunami which killed many of the victims --a loss of. mariko oi reporting. the lawyer representing a woman who says she was raped by cristiano ronaldo says the me too campaign inspired her to come forward. kathryn mayorga says she was attacked

by the footballer in a las vegas hotel room nine years ago — something he firmly denies. our correspondent james cook reports from nevada. kathryn mayorga accuses cristiano ronaldo of red ink ina accuses cristiano ronaldo of red ink in a hotel room in 2009. she said she reported the incident to police immediately and then reportedly there next year reached an out—of—court settlement with the footballer, in which she was paid around £290,000 to remain silent about the alleged attack. now what she is seeking to do is to extricate herself from that deal. at a news conference here on las vegas, her lawyer said she had been frightened by what had happened. it had a profound effect on her. he said she suffered from post—traumatic stress disorder and depression, but he said recent events had given her the courage to come forward. the me too movement and the women who have stood up and disclosed sexual assaults publicly has given

kathryn a lot of courage. antil great extent has enabled her to come forward and allowed her to file a complaint and go to become police department. police here on las vegas have reopened the 2009 enquiry and say that the alleged victim at the time did not state where she had been attacked or by whom and they did not identify a suspect. that is disputed by kathryn mayorga's legal team. the lawyers for cristiano ronaldo say they will sue the german magazine der spiegel which originally published the claims. james cook reporting there. bbc dj mark radcliffe has announced he's taking time off from his radio 2 and 6 music shows to undergo treatment for mouth cancer. he told listeners about his diagnosis while presenting the folk show on wednesday evening. he says he hopes to be back on—air in the new year. sir david attenborough has

urged the world not to panic about the state of the planet — despite donald trump's decision to withdraw from the paris climate agreement. in an interview with the bbc‘s newsnight programme — he said he's been reassured by the united nation's commitment to keep the global temperature down. we have got that agreement. it is true that president trump does not go along with it. and to what extent the united states is going to withdraw from it we will see. my suspicion is that people will realise that actually the united states, that attitude is outdated. it doesn't apply any more. and i think that will be overcome. three out of four children underfive—years—old now have their own tablet, smart—phone or computer. figures from research group childwise suggests pre—school children are increasingly using the devices to watch online video, sometimes for up to three hours a day. here's our technology

correspondent rory cellan—jones. what about this one? the round one? for decades, television has been a big feature in the lives of very young children, but now new technology is changing the way they view and what they see. this research shows that three quarters of under five year olds now have access to a connected devices such as a tablet or smart phone and half of all three and four—year—olds have their own one. what are they doing with it? playing games and watching a lot of video. childwise questioned 1000 parents of under fives, they revealed that their children watch tv and online video for two hours and 48 minutes a day on average. cbeebies was still the most popular channel, with 63% watching. that is dropping as they turn to things like youtube. which was viewed by almost half of all preschool children. there is a

danger in 20 years time the particular aspects of technology we have not looked into closely, we mightfind have not looked into closely, we might find some detrimental effects. some of the new technologies coming in such as virtual reality, we know virtually nothing about how children engage with that and what safe uses are for young children. so we do we need more research in this area to give parents and teachers advise. boys are watching for longer periods than girls. but overall viewing is on the rise. children are getting access to a wide range of programmes on everything from the disney channel to netflix. the research also found voice controlled gadgets such as amazon eco or siri were in two thirds of preschool children's homes and they were using them to play nursery rhymes or ask questions, such as "how big is the moon?" astronomers in the us say they've detected a moon outside our solar system for the first time. it's called an ‘exomoon' and it's around 8,000 light years away. it's estimated to be the size of neptune, making it about four times bigger than earth.

it was picked up by nasa's hubble telescope by two us researchers. i was asking earlier have it moon co m pa res to i was asking earlier have it moon compares to the size of our moon. it is 14 times greater in diameter than ours. it is big. so now we know. it has been discovered. it is 7:11. all the sport and weather for you a little later on. let's return to our main story now. the british government has accused russian military intelligence, the gru, of being behind a series of cyber attacks across the globe. the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt claims the hackers have targeted political institutions, businesses, media and sport in an attempt to undermine international stability. let's speak to andrew tsonchev from cyber security firm dark trace, whojoins us from westminster. thank you very much for talking to us thank you very much for talking to us this morning. it is good to have

you on the programme. what do you make of this report or this announcement, this accusation, in terms of tracing it back, tracing the interference, at the packing back to the gru? well, attribute in cyber attacks to the originating causes was quite difficult. it is not very easy in the private sector to do it. ncsc and gcs you are the sort of people who have the resources to do that. one of the things notable about this report is that it ties together a lot of previously attribute of attacks that we re previously attribute of attacks that were previously said to be the work of the gru into one overall story and that there is a white and campaign going on. it appears highly credible. if anybody is in a position to make those statements with clarity and accuracy, it is going to be the people. without becoming too technical, how do you identify a nationstate attack, how do you attributed to the gru specifically? the first thing is to

identify something as they likely work of a nationstate. you do that based on the level of sophistication involved. most cyber attacksjussie every day if you are running an organisation, they are generic, run—of—the—mill —— that you see. they have something that uses tools and techniques you have not seen before. you can be ready confident thatis before. you can be ready confident that is going to be the work of the black a nationstate. we see that every day. that is a reality. we see that with the customers we protect. that is likely russia or a particular nations are behind the attack, that is done by varennes to work. some has to go and pieced together and investigate the causes of the attack —— arendse. they looking for close similarity, language artefacts that suggest it was written by a russian speaker, looking for evidence that the sorts of techniques and tactics used their

similarity to other attacks that we note with good confidence to be attributable to, say, russia. you are looking for the similarity to see who is behind it. how do you make the assumption when you are looking at what has been attacked. save the world anti—doping authority. why would that be targeted? there authority. why would that be targeted ? there is authority. why would that be targeted? there is an accusation levy that who ever is doing the attacking wants to destabilise countries. yes. one of the things very notable about the raid and number of campaigns that the foreign office is attributing to the gru is the breadth and diversity of them. there are targets that are sport, media targets, a small uk broadcasting company was attacked, infrastructure in the ukraine, the so—called vpn filter attack from earlier this year that affected thousands of individuals in their homes. it is an incredibly wide and broad range of targets. that suggests that the activities of russia or which have a nationstate is behind this are very varied and

very ambitious geopolitically in the scope of what they are trained to achieve. it is not a limited, specific campaign, it is an overall campaign of dominance in the cyberspace to try to infiltrate organisations and nationstate across the full range of their services and their verticals. which kind of institutions now needed to be more aware or more mindful that they could be targeted next? it's about public awareness and that's the real value of this announcement, people need to realise, you don't always see what's going on in cyberspace and they might not know their organisations are undergoing these attacks every day and there's ongoing conflict. the organisations of note are probably infrastructure companies, the energy sector, providers of so—called critical services and these companies always work closely with ncses. it's not news to them. the announcement in march with a joint statement from gchq and the

department said these go a long way towards keeping awareness and getting budgets available and making decision makers realise their private sector but they are and implicated in a geopoliticalflick and they can't separate their businesses on operations from these nationstate activities. when you talk about the energy sector, when does this become a problem that is bigger than companies being affected, companies are somewhat removed from us in our everyday life, when does it affect us and become dangerous to us? to individuals? exactly. there's two ways in which it can, individuals can be indirectly swept up in the attacks. rasher or any nationstate, u nless attacks. rasher or any nationstate, unless you're a high—value notorious individual, they have no interest in you but you might be used along the way —— russia or any nationstate. fa ncy way —— russia or any nationstate. fancy bears cause collateral damage to thousands of individuals when they compromised their home routers

this year to use them as a stepping stone to attack targets. you might be caught up in this as an individual. the more obvious and urgent affect people need to be aware of is the services they use, the essential services are at risk and actively being targeted for sabotage. we saw this with one of the attacks attributed to the ukrainian power grid attacks, it's definitely the case energy providers, utility companies, transportation companies, public services, smart city infrastructure like traffic lights and street systems, all of these are undergoing cyber attack daily now. it's the case the public spear has been invaded in this way by cyber attack, whether nationstate or criminal —— public sphere. you need to be aware of that. these public services aren't immune from attack and that's world we live in. you shouldn't not use these services. —— that the world. when you think about where to give your money, understand the

landscape these companies are operating in. andrew, thank you very much for talking to us. you're very welcome. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. yesterday the top temperature was just over 21 in exeter and southampton. some parts of the south—east could see similar today. but for many of us, we're starting off on a rather cloudy note. now, we got a weather front which isjust note. now, we got a weather front which is just waiting note. now, we got a weather front which isjust waiting in note. now, we got a weather front which is just waiting in the wings to the north of the northern isles at the moment but it is coming in from the west, introducing some rain and some of that rain will be heavy. breezy around this as well, ahead of it in the east of scotland you'll see early sunshine before the rain and it is a fairly cloudy, damp start in northern ireland with the rain coming later. for england and wales, a cloudy start with some drizzle here and there but it should brighten up. bright enough in the

north of scotland later behind a weather front producing all this rain, but feeling that bit cooler. the rain getting into northern ireland, splashes into northern england, not miles and where we got the cloud you can see where it's going to break and where the cloud break said is where we will see the highest temperatures, 21 or 22 today —— north wales. in central, southern england, the south—east or eastern england, the south—east or eastern england —— where the cloud breaks is where. for england and wales, we're looking at more cloud forming and also some fog. the fog will be in similar areas to what we have this morning, but we could also see a bit more across the midlands. still mild but truly northern ireland as well as in scotland. tomorrow, our weather front continues slowly to move steadily southwards taking cloud and patchy rain with it —— still mild

but through northern ireland as well as in scotland. a brighter day in northern ireland and scotland, sunshine with a few showers but the temperatures, nothing to write home about. into saturday, if anything our weather front still in its descent to the south—east will rejuvenate. heavy rain across parts of england and also wales. we don't think it will get into cumbria and northumberland, you will be with scotland and northern ireland in brighter conditions but again cooler. temperatures going down, where we are looking at 20, 21 or possibly 22 on friday, on saturday, we're back down to 12. that will clear on sunday, leaving lots of sunshine for england, wales and scotland. another weather front producing rain and windy conditions spreads into the north—west and ahead of it we'll see more cloud building. although the

temperatures will be lower than they have been and will be today and tomorrow in england and wales with more sunshine, feeling better but pretty cool if you're stuck under the wind and rain in the north—west of scotland. thanks very much, carol. what do you do if you're a dad out with your baby and you need to change their nappy and there are no changing facilities in the men's toilets? it's something a lot of dads can relate to. an instagram post from father of three donte palmer in florida shows him changing his baby on his lap has gone viral. he's now asking other dads to post similar pictures. we spoke to him earlier. i went to the restroom and there was no changing table around, so i got into my perfect man squat, i threw liam over my lap and i began to chang him. —— change him. without my knowledge, or without me even knowing, isiah was snapping pictures of me doing this whole ordeal. i didn't find out until we got back to the table and realised that he took the pictures. he showed his mum,

we had a good laugh, and it's what my wife said stuck out, she said, "it's weird how mothers don't have to get creative or make innovative ways to changing a diaper, but you had to do... you had to be creative and you had to do a ninja squat to change our son, and she doesn't think it's fair. and at that moment it still didn't resonate until about two weeks later when i said, "that was a powerful picture and a powerful statement that she made." that's when i posted it and after that itjust blew up out of control. done speaking there. —— done. —— donte. we're joined now by al ferguson, founder of thedadsnet. it has been discussed actively on thedadsnet three orfour it has been discussed actively on thedadsnet three or four times a week. what's the nature? fundamental

problem, there's no facilities in gents to change a nappy, what kind of stories are you hearing? one came in last night, this has been a hot topic since donte's post, of a dad who had to change this baby's nappy on the floor of the toilets in a doctor's surgery. this isn'tjust about restaurants and public places and town centres, we're talking about doctors' surgeries so it's quite a break problem. we've had lots of e—mails and i'm going to go in on the different take of things. lots of e—mails in supporting this issue but sue has a different take on it. she says we were always changed on my lap, as my mother did before me and everyone did, there weren't baby changing areas. monza dads have these disposable supposedly disposable nappies, dumped everywhere, including rivers and seas, what is the problem with pa rents and seas, what is the problem with parents today? a lot of dads will

come in and say we willjust get on with it. as mums would i would imagine as well. and that's fine, they will just get imagine as well. and that's fine, they willjust get on with it. dad just don't have to get on with it, there should still be somewhere to change their baby —— dad just don't have to —— dad just have to get on with it. —— dadsjust —— dads just have to get on with it. one person said i've always taken them into female toilets. other men say they use the disabled toilets, which causes a problem, if they are in there it takes a while and someone in there it takes a while and someone else can't get in. the disabled toilet is also often locked. you have to find the manager or whoever is holding the key to unlock it. that's another issue with disabled. a lot of people will go into the ladies', which is buying,

they're all in cubicles but it does you open up a whole load of potential issues —— it does open up. you've been campaigning, have you got any high street restaurants to listen? we give this a couple of yea rs listen? we give this a couple of years ago, i went to my local town with a camera and my baby and we went into some big chain restau ra nts, went into some big chain restaurants, well—known places, and we wa nted restaurants, well—known places, and we wanted to see weather there was somewhere to change my baby. there wasn't. we put this video online —— to see whether there was. it got a lot of attention, in a similar way to donte's video. strada restaurants pledged that they would put a baby changing unit in everyone of their men's toilets in every branch across the uk. they were listening when the issue was brought to them. have they done it? they certainly had in my local town, i haven't been to all 200 or however many there are. when

you do the test, you go into a restau ra nt you do the test, you go into a restaurant and you need to change your baby's restaurant and you need to change your ba by‘s nappy restaurant and you need to change your baby's nappy and you ask where your baby's nappy and you ask where you need to go, what do they say to you? it's brilliant because they look at you a bit stifled, thinking, actually there... i don't know, i do know the answer. they don't know, that's what they say? they don't have an answer. i had two offers, one lady said she would go into the ladies and checked there was nobody else in there and another lady offered to change my baby's nappy for me. which you wouldn't want anyway? indeed. when you do ask and they say they don't know, is there they say they don't know, is there the feeling that they are embarrassed or a light bulb is turned on in their mind and they try to help? i think it is an oversight. i don't think people... people think they haven't thought about this before. that's because because it's becoming more of a noticeable problem because more dads are wanting more flexible hours to stay

with their kids that that's because. while mum goes to work as well —— that's because. what is your advice today to dads going out?” that's because. what is your advice today to dads going out? i would say challenge it. bring the issue to the attention of wherever you are. then i think post about it, share, do what donte did. i have to say, on the whole, gents toilets are not places i would want to take my baby in to be changed. even if you had the facilities, they don't tend to be very nice. i know it's a huge generalisation. it raises another issue when you have older children. i have a daughter who is six, what doido i have a daughter who is six, what do i do when i take her to the toilet? i don't want to take her to the gents because lots aren't very pleasant. thank you very much for coming in. i'm sure lots of people will have thoughts on this this morning. core time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc

london news, i'm sara orchard. the wife of pc keith palmer, who was killed in the westminster terror attack, has spoken out following the conclusion of the inquest into his death and the four others killed during the incident. michelle palmer's solicitor, patrick maguire, explained yesterday would have been the police officer's 50th birthday. she just wanted to understand how keith, as an unarmed officer, was left at the palace of westminster, the gates of the palace of westminster, with no protection. she's pleased the coroner has acknowledged and investigated as to why there was no protection at the palace of westminster, no armed protection at the palace of westminster. a special stone which is thought to have stood in london since prehistoric times is being returned to its original home after being temporarily moved to the museum of london. the london stone was moved away while construction took place on cannon street. it's thought it brought the city luck and survived the great fire of london and the blitz.

now it's been returned with a new plaque explaining its history. today is national poetry day and a chance for everyone everywhere to read, share and enjoy poetry. our colleagues at bbc radio london commissioned momtaza mehri to write a poem on this year's subject of change. amy's statue looming over, hand on her hip, a rose the colour of a wound, nestled in her beehive. change is a backhanded kind of love. it's a test with no correct answers. we leave or are left behind, but what is ours is ours. if you want to hear more of her poetry you can visit our website, bbc.co.uk/london. let's take a look at the travel situation this morning. we start on the tube, where we have a good service at the moment on all lines. south—western services via egham and virginia water have been suspended due to a blindside fire. northbound traffic on the blackwall

tunnel southern approach of slow from the woolwich road flyover. in pinout, joel street is blocked at norwich road following a building fire to the south of northwood hills station. and out of hackney towards leighton, lea bridge road is closed eastbound from the lea bridge roundabout chatsworth road for emergency waterworks. let's get the weather with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. it's going to turn into a lovely day of weather yet again across the capital with some good spells of sunshine, beautiful autumnal scenes, just like this one but to begin the morning, patches of mist and fog so poor visibility on some of the roads and fog reported at some of the airports. the mist and fog should have lifted and cleared by the middle part of the morning, but a grey start to the day. sunshine eventually breaking through, feeling pleasantly warm in the sunshine with top temperatures of 19 or possibly 20 celsius with a light breeze. another fairly mild night overnight tonight, more mist and fog maybe into tomorrow and tomorrow is the nicest day of the week, lots of sunshine and 22 but a shock on saturday, cold, windy and rather wet.

i'll be back with the latest from the bbc london news room in half an hour. plenty more from the website at our usual address. time to get back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good morning. let us bring you up—to—date with the day's main news. the british government has accused russian military intelligence of carrying out a series of major cyber attacks around the world. it claims the hackers have targeted political institutions, businesses, media and sport. sir bradley wiggins was among the athletes whose files were stolen during one attack on the world anti—doping agency. earlier, andrew tsonchev from cyber security firm dark trace told us how the public are affected. as an individual, you might be caught up in this. it is an ongoing

conflict and you are not immune from it. the more obvious and urgent effect that people need to be aware of, the essential services they use are at risk and are actively being targeted for sabotage. british aid charities are appealing for emergency funds to help survivors of the earthquake and tsunami in indonesia. at least 1,400 people are known to have been killed in last friday's disaster — officials expect the number to rise. the disasters emergency committee says 200,000 people need clean water, food and medical care. the lawyer representing a woman who says she was raped by cristiano ronaldo says the me too campaign inspired her to come forward. kathryn mayorga says she was attacked by the footballer in a las vegas hotel room nine years ago — something he firmly denies. bbc dj mark radcliffe has announced he's taking time off from his radio 2 and 6 music shows to undergo treatment for mouth cancer. he told listeners about his diagnosis while presenting the folk show on wednesday evening. he says he hopes to be back on—air in the new year. the organisation that represents police officers in england and wales

has launched a legal challenge against the government, over what it calls a "derisory" pay rise. in the summer the home secretary, sajid javid, decided against awarding officers an increase of 3% — a figure recommended by an independent body. the police federation said its members feel "betrayed" and "cheated". three out of four children under five years old now have their own tablet, smartphone, or computer. figures from research group childwise suggests pre—school children are increasingly using the devices to watch online video, sometimes for up to three hours a day. those are the main stories. one picture for you. how's this for the ultimate toy car — a working bugatti made entirely of lego. the car, which is unveiled today at the paris auto show, is made of more than a million plastic pieces and weighs one and a half tons. it comes complete with a working engine, also made of lego, which gives it a top speed of 18 miles per hour. 18 mph. i am trying to look up its

engine. idid 18 mph. i am trying to look up its engine. i did not realise it was an electric engine. i think it is. that would be a merger if it is an in electric car. it cannot be all lego. was it a lego driver? the whole car was made out of lego. what comes out of the exhaust it is electric? there might have on her show. thank you. that might want to show. lionel murphy. he was moving last night. he is now 31 and still doing it. —— lionel messi. fans and pundits would say it is great to be there.

they are lucky to have seen this genius at work. many think he's the best player of all time, and last night in london lionel messi showed why. he scored two of barcelona's goals in their 4—2 champions league win over tottenham, which leaves spurs without a point in the group stage. meanwhile a last minute goal saw liverpool beaten by napoli. patrick gearey rounds up the action from both matches.. lionel messi's spent a career taking breath away. this was a game that made even him doubt. geniuses still have to sweat. and from the go messi worked. his presence brought tottenham's hugo lloris from his goal 90 seconds in. coutinho did the rest. the problem for spurs is that once you have stopped lionel messi or coutinho or luis suarez, ivan rakitic does this. don't try that at home. for a time, tottenham looked as threadbare as the warn wembley pitch, damaged from last weekend's joshua fight. harry kane came off the ropes with a mighty counter—punch. 2—1, for about four minutes. then barcelona went up a gear without ever revving the engine. the scorer, lionel messi, of course.

he had already hit the post twice. surely game over. somehow spurs surge once more. somehow erik lamela's shot went in. somehow they believed. they were fighting into the final minute of the 90. but when messi gets it there the results inevitable. brilliant calm in brilliant chaos. a less frantic but similarly draining night for liverpool in naples. they lost their summer signing naby keita to injury the first and never quite found their rhythm. napoli are second in the league and liverpool cannot say they were not warned. in the last minute of the 90 they did win it. a local boy once called the italian lionel messi, in those moments it must have felt like the real thing. and it's safe to say the world of twitter was impressed with lionel messi's performance. here's a few tweets from after the game last night. alan shearer: "messi, the best ever — goals, skill, work rate, attitude, an artist." gary lineker asked, if there's ever been a better player.

and rio ferdinand praised the "messiah". having said all that, who needs messi when you have adam reach? for the second match running, he took aim for sheffield wednesday from over 30 yards away and hit an absolute stunner into the far corner. last night he did to west brom what he'd done to leeds. into the top corner. and even though wes brom scored two late goals to salvage a 2—2 draw, fans were left talking about the range of reach whenever he gets the ball now they scream shoot. why wouldn't they, when he can do that? we've seen our first sacking in the top two divisions, with steve bruce losing his job, at aston villa. bruce had been in charge at aston villa for just under two years. he had that horrible moment where a cabbage was thrown at him. he guided them to the championship play off final last season where they lost to fulham. but the club have won only once in their last 11 games, and are 13th in the table. andrew strauss has stepped down as england's director of cricket. he'd taken a break from the role

in may while his wife received treatment for cancer. he says the time away has given him time to consider what's right for england, and what's right for his family. andy flower will continue to cover for strauss while a full time replacement is found. he has done a fantasticjob. he has been really good for me. you know, with the planning towards the 2019 world cup and the way we want to be playing our one—day cricket or our test cricket. look, he has been, he has been sensational. the spectator half blinded, by a golf ball at the ryder cup says she doesn't blame brooks koepka, for her trauma. corine remander, was in the crowd, next to a fairway when the wayward shot hit her. she says she's lucky to be alive. i have nothing against the play. because i play golf and i know i am only against the marshal. nobody came to see me to take the news. there is nobody that feels as bad

about this than i do. it is a tragic accident, what happened. i mean, lam heartbroken. i am all messed up inside. i don't think... definitely in my career it will be the one shot that i definitely regret. new great britain hockey coach, danny kerry took charge of his first game, at the lee valley centre in london. gb took on belgium in a game that celebrated the 30th anniversary of their famous gold medal victory at the 1988 seoul olympics. a 2—1 victory, for gb added to the celebrations. a great crowd. really popular. great

fun to watch. it is a really good tea m fun to watch. it is a really good team sport. action packed. lots of goals, hopefully. we will see later on. the prime minister has closed this year's conservative party conference with a pledge to end austerity, increase public spending and build more houses. she walked on stage to abba's dancing queen, demonstrating her famous dance moves, before using the opportunity to defend her chequers plan for brexit. let's take a look. dancing queen plays let's rise above the abuse. let's make a positive case for our values that will cut through the bitterness and bile that is poisoning our politics. those of us who do respect

the result, whichever side of the question we stood on two years ago, need to come together now. if we don't, if we all go off in different directions in pursuit of around visions of perfect brexit, we risk ending up with no brexit at all. applause. abi spending review next year we will set out our approach for the future. debt as a share of the economy will continue to go down —— are the spending review. support for public services will go up. because a decade after the financial crash people need to know that the austerity it led to is over and that do hard work has paid off. applause. we're joined now by dawn foster from the guardian and kate andrews from the free market think tank,

the institute of economic affairs. good morning to you. dawn, we need to talk about the walk on and be abba dancing moment. what are your reflections on it? i think she had to do something quite bold. that was it. i think it was a good move from her. it cheered at the conference hall and broke the ice. everyone was so nervous hall and broke the ice. everyone was so nervous something would go wrong immediately. she had to do something. she looked jaunty and a bit uncomfortable, but that is just theresa may at this point. she had to do something like that first and she managed it. and, kate, what did you make of it? i think it was great. she was laughing with everyone and assess. i don't think anyone could laugh at her for that. and the music came in everyone knew what was going on. —— and at

herself. the end of austerity. kate, ifi herself. the end of austerity. kate, if i could ask you about that. people saying there was not much in terms of new stuff in what she said. but that phrase, an end to austerity, what you make about? the rabbit she pulled out was this place allow councils to borrow more to build more homes, building into that rhetoric. i think unfortunately be rhetoric, which was very pro— free enterprise and pro— capitalism, pointing out the flaws in a lot of labour's plans. they were not held up labour's plans. they were not held up in policies. the private sector is ready to build one million and yesterday that would not cost a penny to the taxpayer. but public borrowing is taxation down the road. it people who pay their taxes will pay that back later on. it will not be the same efficient process of building homes. the prime minister caught on to the problem that there are not enough problem —— homes and

we need to increase supply and bring down cost. but i think are prescription to tackle that is very misguided. dawn, what do you make of that, given how large brexit has loomed over the whole of the conference, not just her loomed over the whole of the conference, notjust her speech, loomed over the whole of the conference, notjust herspeech, it was important for her to latch onto things that people could directly associate with, for example, housing. i think the issue with the housing. i think the issue with the housing was that it was a very small. councils have been calling for a rise to the borrowing for eight years. balti has done is listen to people finally. the idea that there is an end to austerity is painted an utter nonsense. there are more and more cuts coming in. councils are seeing more more cuts. hospitals and schools have a much wider programme of cuts. for the ordinary people, austerity has not ended. the ordinary household will continue to seek services squeezed and their bills rise. george osborne said in 2015 that austerity has ended. he lied then. theresa may,

yet again, is trying to pull the wool over the public‘s eyes. yet again, is trying to pull the wool over the public's eyesm yet again, is trying to pull the wool over the public's eyes. it is not true. dawn, you are struggling with your boys. it makes us think what happened last year at a conference beta —— voice. do you think, kate, in terms of presentation that a lot of this was about positioning herself as the serious one, the one who can make decisions, no specific mention, for example, boris johnson and decisions, no specific mention, for example, borisjohnson and the chequers plan not mentioned, that phrase never mentioned at all. interestingly she tried to paint herself as the adult in this conversation and her calls for seville at at the beginning will have resonated with lots of people. rightly she wasn't calling out the labour party and many deep—seated issues there —— civility. also diane abbott and the racist abuse she gets. lots of people resonated with that. we have to remember outside the westminster bubble, outside

party conference, lots of people don't put politics at the top of their agenda every day are feeling a bit uncomfortable and feeling like the world is becoming too partisan. in terms of staying away from attacks on other politicians and getting into the whole brexit debate, she is potentially realised there's more support for a free—trade agreement than she originally thought there would be and so not using the word chequers and so not using the word chequers and talking a lot about free trade was an interesting way to sell the position she is still hunkered down in. but there are other proposals and plans to get a comprehensive wurzburg free trade agreement with the eu, and as that's becoming more popular, she's having to change her rhetoric —— bespoke free—trade agreement. finally, kate, people she named specifically, she had a direct and sustained go atjeremy corbyn? he did. it's really interesting that she has a conference speech, she can

say anything she wants and she just goes boughtjeremy say anything she wants and she just goes bought jeremy corbyn say anything she wants and she just goes boughtjeremy corbyn over and over. that caught the mood of the conference. —— goes for. every party member i spoke to felt a labour government was an inevitability and they're terrified. if theresa may wasn't rattled, wasn't scared, she wouldn't have had such a long, sustained section onjeremy corbyn so sustained section onjeremy corbyn so that's great for labour and they're very happy. dawn, we will allow you to go and get a of water and recover. thanks for your time, dawn foster and kate andrews. we've all been there! carol, you've been there, it's awful when you get the frog in your throat and you don't have any respite, at least we got each other but you have to keep going. i get them all the time as well! good morning. this morning it is quite cloudy to start, many waking up quite cloudy to start, many waking up to this kind of cloud cover and there is also for around south—east wales, parts of the midlands and southern england so if you're travelling, watch out across some of

it is dense. a weather front coming in from the north—west of through the day will introduce heavy rain. a squeeze in the isobars tells you it will be breezy and we're hanging on to high pressure in the south of england for the next wee while anyway. what's happening this morning is when the fog lifts, it will lift into low cloud and then the cloud will break and the sunny spells will develop. our reyna advances southwards across scotland, some of that will be heavy and behind it we're looking at some brighter skies. —— our rain advances. showers across southern scotland, the rain getting into northern ireland after a cloudy start. a bit more cloud in the west of the uk today producing drizzle, the brightest, sunniest skies will be in central, southern england, the south—east and eastern england. that's where we lose the cloud this morning and temperatures could get up morning and temperatures could get up to 19 or20. morning and temperatures could get up to 19 or 20. yesterday the top temperature was 21 in southampton and exeter. behind this weather

front it's going to start to cool down and a weather front will continue its descent south—eastwards through the course of this evening and overnight, taking its cloud and rain with it. a nippy night in scotla nd rain with it. a nippy night in scotland and northern ireland. temperatures in single figures in the towns and cities. as we go further south, with a fair bit of cloud around, and also once again mist and fog patches forming, in similar areas to the mind just gone, perhaps more extensively across the midlands, a mild night. as we head on from friday into saturday, our weather front will continue to go south —— of the nightjust gone. a week feature, cloudy, patchy rain, temperatures up to 21 or 22. behind it, cooler but drier and brighter with a few showers. one thing you will notice around heathrow, for example, is the temperature on friday will be 22 but on saturday there's a big drop. as this weather front continues to sink southwards and rejuvenate, producing heavy rain, temperatures are going down.

from northumberland and cumbria, northern ireland and scotland, brighter conditions with sunshine and a few showers but feeling cool —— for. look at the difference in temperatures, 12 on saturday compared to the 21 or 22 on friday. all topsy—turvy! compared to the 21 or 22 on friday. all topsy-turvy! it really is, isn't it? i suppose it is the season! ben is with us talking about a strike that's taking place across various groups, but food outlets mainly? the people that bring us who we order particularly from ta keaways, we order particularly from takeaways, separate strikes are going on affecting mcdonald's and jd wetherspoon is but the ones we are talking about are true. it's a bit like uber where you can get someone to pick something up for you. it is all part of the gig economy. —— talking about uber. 5 million people

work in the so—called gig economy. it's a huge area and that's why we're paying so much attention to it. supporters will say this is great because it allows the staff to choose how long they want to work, the number of ships they do and how much they want to learn but critics say employers get off paying those basic things like paternity and maternity leave and sick pay —— number of shifts. it isn't without its critics. what happened today is in these places, london, glasgow, cardiff, bristol, newcastle and plymouth, is of the places where they will go on strike, they're angry the amount of money they get paid is going down —— all of the places. the drivers are angry and this is what the union said. the reality is most of the careers are working for multiple companies. they have to. its apparent most of the companies were —— careers —— its

apparent most of the companies they have to do more than full—time to make ends meet but they want a guaranteed delivery rate so they can make enough to have a decent standard of living. it's very much a movement of a gig economy workers of food delivery careers standing up for themselves collectively. this is the first time in the uk they've done so —— careers. the delivery... at peak times we will give you more and that is designed to get more drivers using the service, delivering the food at peak times. we've had a statement from uber in response, we asked them for an interview but they said no. they say

they have increased how much they pay to delivery drivers at peak times. they say on average the drivers make between £5 and £9 per hour and recently they introduced free sickness, injury, maternity and paternity insurance. clearly lots of focus on this because more and more people are working in this gig economy. they don't maybe have the same rights we've been used to in the past and clearly for a lot of firms it is a testing ground to see what's going to work, what workers want, what we want in terms of flexible as he and responding to what we want as customers. ben, thanks through much of. see you later on. i've got loads of questions and. it's something we're going to talk about for a long time. —— i've got loads of questions. you've been talking to rod stewart. he has one of those instantly recognisable voices. at 73, he's about to release his 30th album. he's got the great voice, 73,

amazing career, great care. you bonded over this. still have a great head of hair, which he talks about even without prompting —— great care. it is perfection, our hair. it is a magnificent mane and it remains... on top of my head. as it always was. hasn't changed much over the years. you've got a lot of —— you got a lot —— a new album out. a lot of nostalgia, would that be fair? it's a reflection... a couple of tracks anyway... on what's gone before. the song didn't i... didn't i. that

feels like all the songs on this new album, it feels like the one that's most personal. it is and isn't. it's from a parent's perspective, and of course i'm a parent eight times over. it's making aware of what's out there. having eight children, as isaid, out there. having eight children, as i said, they haven't dabbled with drugs... well, one of them has, but my kids are all clean but it could have been a different story, could have been a different story, could have been a different story, could have been a different story altogether. your 73, you said it yourself, do you surprise yourself? yeah, do. i'm 73, do you ever have that moment when you go, i'm in my mid— seventies. that moment when you go, i'm in my mid- seventies. i get up on stage and icy how many people i'm going to make happy. still making records and bringing up children. —— iec how many people. i'm far from bringing up children. —— iec how many people. i'm farfrom retiring. going back to 1971, maggie may has

just come out, who would've thought? maggie may was about your first sexual experience and people love that song. the words really resonate so that song. the words really resonate so much. is it something you'd care to sing for us now? oh, god... my favourite on the album? may be just a little bit. old, grace, hold me in your arms and let this moment linger —— oh, grace. they'll take me out at dawn and i will die. with all my love i place this wedding ring upon your finger. it's a song of the album called grace. it's about the easter uprising. i feel like something official has just happened! we'll need to let people know. it's been a delight to see you. i'll see you in three years. yes! oh, that was barnes. they're not all fun, you know, these

interviews! -- oh, that was fun. very relaxed and he just misses about a little bit. —— very relaxed and hejust about a little bit. —— very relaxed and he just messes about a little bit. rod stewart's album is called blood red roses. keinan time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sara orchard. the wife of pc keith palmer, who was killed in the westminster terror attack, has spoken out following the conclusion of the inquest into his death and the four others killed during the incident. michelle palmer's solicitor, patrick maguire, explained yesterday would have been the police officer's 50th birthday. she just wanted to understand how keith, as an unarmed officer, was left at the palace of westminster, the gates of the palace of westminster, with no armed protection. she's pleased the coroner has acknowledged and investigated as to why there was no protection at the palace of westminster, no armed protection at the palace of westminster. uber it's careers and a small number

of workers from jd wetherspoon, mcdonald's and tgi friday's are striking today —— who've eads couriers. the industrial action is being taken in tandem with strikes on four continents —— uber eats. today is national poetry day and a chance for everyone everywhere to read, share and enjoy poetry. our colleagues at bbc radio london commissioned momtaza mehri to write a poem on this year's subject of change. amy's statue looming over, hand on her hip, a rose the colour of a wound, nestled in her beehive. change is a backhanded kind of love. it's a test with no correct answers. we leave or are left behind, but what is ours is ours. if you want to hear more of her poetry you can visit our website, bbc.co.uk/london. let's look at the travel situation

and on the tube we have minor delays on the piccadilly line but a good service on all other lines. south—western railway services are suspended between ashford and egham following a line side fire near staines. northbound traffic on the blackwolf southern approach slope. joel street is blocked at norwich road following a building fire to the south of northwood hills station and out of hackney award zlatan, lea bridge road is closed is bound from the leverage roundabout to chatsworth road. —— lea bridge road. let's get the weather with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. it's going to turn into a lovely day of weather yet again across the capital with some good spells of sunshine, beautiful autumnal scenes, just like this one but to begin the morning, patches of mist and fog so poor visibility on some of the roads and fog reported at some of the airports.

the mist and fog should have lifted and cleared by the middle part of the morning, but a grey start to the day. sunshine eventually breaking through, feeling pleasantly warm in the sunshine with top temperatures of 19 or possibly 20 celsius with a light breeze. another fairly mild night overnight tonight, more mist and fog maybe into tomorrow and tomorrow is the nicest day of the week, lots of sunshine and 22 but a shock on saturday, cold, windy and rather wet. i'll be back with the latest from the bbc london news room in half an hour. plenty more from the website at our usual address. time to get back to charlie and naga. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: a direct accusation. the uk government says russian military intelligence was behind high profile cyber attacks on political institutions, business, media and sport. an appeal is launched for emergency funds to help survivors of the earthquake

and tsunami in indonesia. music: dancing queen. the prime minister's abba arrival. we'll ask if she made the right moves to get the conservative party behind her. the gift of reading. more than 650 new books hit the shelves ahead of the big christmas rush. so what are we reading? i've been finding out. a magical messi mesmeric masterclass lights up wembley, but means tottenham may now struggle to stay in this season's champions league. good morning. a cloudy start for most of us this morning with fog patches around to watch out for. but we will see some of that break and sunshine coming through. however, heavy rain coming in from the north west. more in 15 minutes. it's thursday 4th october. our top story: the british government has accused

russian military intelligence of carrying out a series of major cyber attacks around the world. it claims the hackers have targeted political institutions, businesses, media and sport. sir bradley wiggins was among the athletes whose files were stolen during one attack on the world anti—doping agency. ben ando reports. in canada, private medical data relating to athletes like sir bradley wiggins is stolen and published. in ukraine, there is airport chaos in odessa, and disruption on the metro in kiev. in the run—up to the us presidential elections in 2016, confidential democratic party committee messages are published. and for a year a british tv network's e—mails are monitored. hacker groups with names like fancy bear were blamed. now the national cyber security centre says they are all russian military intelligence, the gru. foreign secretaryjeremy hunt says they were reckless and indiscriminate, adding "together with our allies we will expose

and respond to the gru's attempts to undermine international stability". the national cyber security centre says it is highly confident that the gru was almost certainly responsible for these attacks and others too. but what does the uk gain by making this public? some suggest that in the murky world of espionage and counter espionage, shining a bright light on this is a useful tactic. as an individual, you might be caught up in this. it is an ongoing conflict and you are not in the mood for it. the more obvious and urgent effect that people need to be aware is the services they use, essential services, are at risk actively being targeted for sabotage. moscow is yet to respond, but when the battlefield is the worldwide web, anyone online could be on the front line. ben ando, bbc news. british aid charities are appealing for emergency funds to help

survivors of the earthquake and tsunami in indonesia. at least 1400 people are known to have been killed in last friday's disaster. officials expect the number to rise. the disasters emergency committee says 200,000 people need clean water, food and medical care. mariko oi sent this from the city of palu. the government has set friday as the deadline to look for any more survivors and there are many more places they haven't actually managed to reach. for example, there is a shopping mall, where we have been broadcasting from for the past several days, they only managed to get that heavy machinery in last night. when they started clearing the rubble, immediately afterward they found one body. of course, the earthquake hit at 5pm on friday, when many people would have been shopping. there are fears that many more bodies could be found. that's why the authorities continue to warn that the official death toll is expected to rise. but while we continue to talk about tragedies and how many challenges aid

agencies have been facing, i also want to talk about the resilience of the city. people for example today have started selling food on the street and even though they have been struggling for days to get hold of food and water, as soon as they got some they were generous enough to start offering some to us as well. also, while this building might have collapsed, if you look at this side of the city, for example, all these buildings are quite ok. and on the same street there are many houses as well as buildings which actually withstood the earthquake. that really goes to show that while the earthquake of course did a lot of damage, it was really the tsunami which killed many of the victims. the lawyer representing the woman who says she was raped by cristiano ronaldo says the #metoo campaign inspired

her to come forward. kathryn mayorga says she was attacked by the footballer in a las vegas hotel room nine years ago — something he firmly denies. our correspondent james cook reports from nevada. kathryn mayorga accuses cristiano ronaldo of raping her in a hotel room in las vegas in 2009. she says she reported the incident to police immediately and then reportedly the next year reached an out—of—court settlement with the footballer, in which she was paid around £290,000 to remain silent about the alleged attack. now what she is seeking to do is to extricate herself from that deal. at a news conference here in las vegas, her lawyer said she had been frightened by what had happened. it had had a profound effect on her. he said she suffered from post—traumatic stress disorder and depression, but he said recent events had given her the courage to come forward. the #metoo movement and the women who have stood up and disclosed sexual assaults publicly has given

kathryn a lot of courage. and to a great extent has enabled her to come forward and to file a complaint and go to the police department. police here in las vegas have reopened the 2009 enquiry and say that the alleged victim at the time did not state where she had been attacked or by whom and they did not identify a suspect. that is disputed by kathryn mayorga's legal team. the lawyers for cristiano ronaldo say they will sue the german magazine der spiegel which originally published the claims. labour's rejected theresa may's claim that austerity is coming to an end, saying that it lacks credibility. the prime minister made the statement while closing the conservative conference. the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell says it's as likely as her winning strictly come dancing. let's speak now to our political correspondent, iain watson.

good morning. that is obviously a reference to the aber moment. i am assuming that you political correspondents sometimes get a heads up correspondents sometimes get a heads up about content and what will happen but i assume you didn't know about the dancing moment. we had no idea at all. i think it took most people by surprise. i would say it was well choreographed but in practice i don't think it was in the end, was it? certainly her critics have been pretty quick to take up the theme. they accused of dancing round the issues. i can't quite think why that came to mind. only we had some pictures to illustrate it! in terms of the substance of her speech, not leaving this analogy entirely behind, that was all about money, money, money. the key phrase that she got across was that a decade on from the financial crash, people have got to be aware that the austerity that it led to is over. that is a big claim. don't expect a

giveaway budget next month, but downing street say they will take a different approach to the spending review and effort will be taken off the brake, very slightly. there are spending cuts planned for key government departments, not the health service but many others. what labour is saying is unless she reverses those planned cuts, this claim to land austerity and public spending cuts of the last eight yea rs spending cuts of the last eight years is nothing more than a corner. the most significant thing she did, fa ncy the most significant thing she did, fancy footwork here, was to allow local authorities to borrow to build more homes, which they were campaigning to do under the last labour government, the conservative government and the coalition. it is something the treasury said no to. she has announced it. i am not sure what the chancellor makes of it but it might be more significant than any rhetoric about using public spending restrictions. thank you. bbc dj mark radcliffe has announced he's taking time off from his radio 2 and 6 music shows to undergo treatment

for mouth cancer. he told listeners about his diagnosis while presenting the folk show on wednesday evening. he says he hopes to be back on air in the new year. sir david attenborough has urged the world not to panic about the state of the planet, despite donald trump's decision to withdraw from the paris climate agreement. in an interview with the bbc‘s newsnight programme, he said he's been reassured by the united nations' commitment to keep the global temperature down. we have got that agreement. it is true that president trump doesn't go along with it. and to what extent the united states is going to withdraw from it we will see. my suspicion is that people will realise that actually the united states, that attitude is outdated. it doesn't apply any more. and i think that will be overcome. sir david attenborough. it is 8:11am. this is olympian amy williams at the peak

of her career in 2010 at the vancouver games. it was here she won britain's first solo winter olympics gold medal in 30 years, with victory in the women's skeleton. an amazing achievement. but at what price? this week she revealed how her body won't let her forget the toll the sport has taken. the simple task of walking up and down the stairs has proved so painful, she's sold her house and moved into a bungalow. amy williams joins us now from her home in bath. it is lovely to see you. thank you very much for talking to us on brea kfast. very much for talking to us on breakfast. let me ask you how you are. are you well? i am well, thank you. good. but as! are. are you well? i am well, thank you. good. but as i mentioned in the introduction to you, the sport, which you are absolutely brilliant at of course, has taken its toll on your body. are you surprised by the extent to which it has affected your life? for me it is something you just put up with. it is old news. i

retired from the sport in 2012 because of my injuries and i guess it becomes part of your daily life. yes, i have got bad discs in my back. i do have cranky knees, shall we say? but i think you just manage it and we say? but i think you just manage itandi we say? but i think you just manage it and i have played with it and i still exercise and i still do all the things that i love. ijust know what my limitations are. if i do too much, i have more consequences for the next few days. i suppose the reason we talk about this is because you are seen as a role reason we talk about this is because you are seen as a role model, you are role model, and you have been an inspiration to lots of young people and we often talk about how young people should get into sport and strive to be their very best. we look at someone like you who has won gold medals for us and you are now suffering. is there a possibility to make that balance or is there a question to be

asked about how much support is given to athletes about maintaining fitness once you retire? it is a tricky one. full—time athletes train several times a day for many years. some people don't have any injuries and other people, if your body is made upa and other people, if your body is made up a bit wonky, and you are putting stress and strain on it and training hard, yes, you have injuries. our sport is quite dangerous. a crash when i first started in 2002 slipped my first disc, and then the knock—on effect. i think that is part and parcel of being an athlete. when you retire, sometimes you retire because you are not good enough any more or because injuries force you to stop, and the pain. but you learn to manage it. when you are within the system being an athlete, you can get all the medical support, your video, your doctor, all that side. and then when you stop, that medical support stops, and then you have just got to learn and cope and manage. i would say to all athletes and all budding athletes, still go for it. i am not

the kind of person to ever let it hold me back. i still enjoy everything i physically can and i love taking on challenges and i love taking on new experiences. maybe you do have the aches and pains that follow afterwards. let's break down the system in terms of support over your career. when you were young and your career. when you were young and you were training and you decided you were training and you decided you wanted to be an athlete, world —class you wanted to be an athlete, world—class athlete, what advice or restrictions or guidance were you given in terms of how far to push your body? how young were you when your body? how young were you when you first started weight—training for example? i guess when i started ididn't for example? i guess when i started i didn't have any advice really. it was a local athletics club. i probably started lifting weights at the age of 13 or 14, again nowadays they might say that is too young. but you were just going along with what you did. i was still doing three track sessions a week, going

onto four, one weights session a week, building that up. then i started skeleton when i was 17 or 18, so that a programme. and slowly doing more and more weightlifting, more and more sprint sessions, and it became more of a programme. and i guess there is more money in sport now, more funding, more science, all the science and technology that goes into it. and we know now more about how to look after our bodies and how to protect them. and it is potluck as well whether you get an injury, whether your body is very slightly out of alignment to begin with, that you might not know about, before you start really doing it and doing 100% every day. what pressure is there in terms of being a role model and trying to secure funding for the sport? you would have been very aware that your success would have ensured that the sport carried on for the future. yes, we knew in vancouver, back in 2010, as a sport

we had to bring home a medal. we didn't matter if it was the man of the women bringing it home. we had to bring one home tojustify the funding and the money. it was amazing to be able to bring one home andi amazing to be able to bring one home and i was very lucky and privileged that i was the one to be able to do that. that then ensured the funding for the next four years, which basically allowed lizzy yarnold to exist, and laura dees and dominic parsons, who just brought a exist, and laura dees and dominic parsons, whojust brought a medals in the last olympics. all sports, all athletes, they know they have to bring home medals to get the funding, and without the funding you can't bring home the medals, so it is catch—22. as an athlete on the start line, you are doing it for you. you are doing it for the whole tea m you. you are doing it for the whole team but you want to win a medal and the knock—on consequences and the effect is something that comes afterwards. aimee, we have got to make clear that you have moved into a bungalow, which is not the end of the world because they are lovely

places! you are commentating for the bbc at the winter olympics. you are thriving and you still love the sport. is that fair? definitely! yes, i laugh about it, i did move into a bungalow but notjust because there were no stairs. that is a funny consequence. i have great views and i love it here. going up and down four flights of stairs when you have had knee operations is not fun, which is whyjokingly we live ina fun, which is whyjokingly we live in a bungalow, yes. but i am about to go off and do a session in a minute because i love exercise and i love taking on cycling challenges andi love taking on cycling challenges and i love doing everything. if it means that my knees are a little bit cranky for a few days afterwards and a bit sore, and i have got to go to the chiropractor quite a lot and keep my body intact, then so be it. i still stay very positive and dialogue staying fit. that is a

massive part of my life still. it has been a pleasure talking to you. winter olympic gold medallist, you say it was worth it. thank you for being so frank and enjoy your exercise. thank you. on the subject of positive, let's speak to the most positive person on bbc breakfast, carol! i thought you are handing back to naga! bless you. in many parts of the uk it is not particularly cold this morning but in the east of kent there are cloudy skies, meaning lower temperatures. we have rain on the cards courtesy of this weather front and the squeeze in the isobars means it will be breezy with high pressure firmly in charge of the weather across the south. first thing this morning, some fog across south—east wales, parts of southern england, the midlands and also east anglia. that

will lift and it will tend to break up, and we will see some sunshine. meanwhile the rain will continue to push steadily southwards. we are now looking at a high resolution model, which is why you may have noticed thejump. which is why you may have noticed the jump. behind it, which is why you may have noticed thejump. behind it, sunshine and showers, and ahead of it cloud building. northern ireland, northern england and north wales, with cloud thick enough for some spots of drizzle. central and southern england, the south—east and east of england, the south—east and east of england, that will see sunshine. temperatures responding in the sunshine up to about 19 or 20. through the evening overnight, the weather front continues its descent, slowly moving southwards, bringing rain. cooler air follows slowly moving southwards, bringing rain. cooler airfollows in behind, bringing a touch of frost in some pockets in scotland and northern ireland. ahead of it, a lot of cloud. in similar areas to last night but perhaps a bit more in the midlands compared to this morning. asa midlands compared to this morning.

as a result of all of this, ahead of the weather front it is going to be mild. this is the offending weather front and through the course of tomorrow you can see that it doesn't move tomorrow you can see that it doesn't m ove very tomorrow you can see that it doesn't move very far but it is the dividing line between cooler air and the milder air. cooler conditions represented by the blues and the milder conditions represented by yellow and amber. looking at friday, that weather front produces rain across the central swathe of the uk. clearer skies. and, across the central swathe of the uk. clearerskies. and, northern ireland, with sunshine and showers and ahead of it the cloud continues to build. in the south—east, some decent sunny spells with high temperatures of 21 or 22. 12 to 17 in the north. heading into saturday, the weather front rejuvenates, so the weather front rejuvenates, so the rain will be heavier across england and wales. it will be breezy. but from cumbria to northumberland, northern ireland, northwards through scotland, we will

have a bright day with sunny spells, and some showers. feeling cool. look at the difference in temperature. we are looking at 21 or 22 on friday. by are looking at 21 or 22 on friday. by saturday we are way back down. you will notice that for sure. it is a roller—coaster. you say that i am positive. you talked about those positives being way back down and he was so positives being way back down and he was so excited! i can't compete with that! naga, of course you can. i just love the weather.” that! naga, of course you can. i just love the weather. i know you do. when was the last time you dragged out of a straw? my goodness, 1921? a long time ago. you wouldn't use a straw in a bar? i prefer a glass. you just chug it straight down. there you go! i am not a fan of straws, generally. we are talking about soft drinks! we are talking about soft drinks! we are talking about the merits of plastic compared

to paper. then, do you drink out of a straw? —— ben. to paper. then, do you drink out of a straw? -- ben. a bottle of wine with a straw? i wasn't suggesting that! a gin and tonic, a single gin and tonic. i don't much like them either. we are talking about boats. —— books. 650 new titles will land in book shops today. it is not a coordinated effort by book—sellers and publishers, but itjust so happens that today is the big day. that is because they want to be on all of the christmas lists this year. it is the biggest time of the year. it is the biggest time of the yearfor year. it is the biggest time of the year for selling books and the majority are hardback, which suggests that move to digital books is coming back. we still love a physical book. last year we bought 249 million of them in the uk. the industry is worth nearly £2 billion.

all of the big publishers are vying for a slice of the action. it has been good news will book shops. i spoke to a guest earlier who explained why book—sellers are back. there was a digital revolution and people got hysterical and they were excited by it. the pendulum swung back to the physical. people want the experience of going and talking to real person, getting recommendations. book shops are fantastic at curating. they often buy books for customers that they know very well, they are embedded in their communities, and there is a sense of community. people want something different from screen time all the time. they want to talk to people about real things. so what are we buying? all sorts of usual things, especially when it gets to christmas. biographies, gardening books, home improvement books, but the biography we are talking about earlier that is expected to do really well, michelle obama's memoirs of her time at the white

house. jacqueline wilson is coming on, the tracy beaker author. children's books are really important. it is children's books that have not moved to digital in the same way as novels have because you still want pictures and you can't get them online. thank you, ben. let's go back to chatting about straws. it's been almost a year since blue planet 2 highlighted the damage plastic is doing to marine life and since then businesses have been making an effort to become more environmentally friendly. one item under scrutiny was the plastic straw, and demand for a paper version went through the roof. especially after seeing those awful pictures. do you remember the turtle with a straw in its nose? our consumer affairs correspondent coletta smith has been to visit the first company to start production in the uk. and this is lovely! this time last year, sandra and herfamily were doing what most of the country were doing. everyone was talking about blue planet, and we were watching it and thinking, you know, there is something we can do here. but unlike the rest of us, sandra and a group of friends

decided to take a pretty bold decision. so we said, "let's try and go and do this. let's get some paper straw machines and try and get rid of the plastic straws out there that you find on all the beaches and on the streets and in the gutters and all the rest of it," so that's what we did. we started with one machine. we didn't know how to work it, but now we're at four machines. it's still small—scale at the moment, but these machines are churning out one million straws a week. there's a growing list of orders as customers in hotels, cafes and pubs are demanding change. we do find that people are deliberately asking to not have the straw in the drink. it's not until we tell them that we actually do have paper straws that they will accept it anyway. with bars, restaurants and cafes all struggling to keep up with customer demand at the moment, if you are given a paper straw, the likelihood is it's going to have been flown in from china, and that raises more questions

aboutjust how green it really is. so this is our main warehouse where we pick our main orders. there's a big change in orders at henry's catering supply company. they now sell more paper straws than plastic ones, but he has to fly them in as no—one could make enough straws quickly enough here. customers will buy a box of 250 of the plastic straws, they probably pay about 75p to £1 for a box of those. the paper straws are £3 and £4 for a box of 250. still four times the price, three to four times the price of the plastic straw. so you've had bars and restaurants coming to you saying their customers are demanding paper straws? absolutely, and i think this trend is consumer—led. they don't want plastic straws in their drinks, so it's really driven by the end user. even companies as big as mcdonald's have now swallowed that extra cost and switched to paper straws as customers want to feel like they're doing their bit for the environment. to make it a greener choice, sandra's hoping that more of those straws will be made here in the uk.

who knows how big this could be? but we're really excited with the process and it's great to be making a change. coletta smith, bbc news. keep your thoughts coming in. thank you for keeping in touch. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. it has been another mild start but we will see significant changes over the next few days. some rain moving into the north—west of scotland and north—western areas of northern ireland. any mist and fog this morning in southern areas will clear away. temperatures in the south—east

corner up to 21 degrees. overnight we have more cloud and the rain moving further south associated with this cold front and you notice behind the cold front called air is filtering behind so a layer starts to friday morning across scotland and northern ireland. elsewhere, mild into friday. during friday there will be sunny spells but turning chillier across northern areas. this is business live from bbc news with victoria fritz and sally bundock. the irish prime minister is in brussels to try to resolve the biggest brexit roadblock, the irish border. live from london, that's our top story on thursday 4th october. ireland backs the uk
