good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie and naga. the headlines: 17% rise in crime recorded on britain's railways with figures showing an increase in violent and sexual offences on the network. us sports giant is concerned about rape allegations made against cristiano ronaldo. he strongly denies the claims.” made against cristiano ronaldo. he strongly denies the claims. i look at how fast fashion is harming the environment. england call up their first player born in this millennium. we are live with giant puppets expected to drawi million to liverpool this weekend. and it is a day of temperature contrasts across the uk from walk in the south to something much more cold further north, and in between there is some rain. find out the part it will play in your day rain. find out the part it will play in yourday and

rain. find out the part it will play in your day and your weekend forecast here on breakfast. good morning, it is five october. the number of rail passengers falling victim to crime has increased in the last year. figures from the british transport police recorded more than 60,000 offences in the year to the end of march, a i7% rise. then an joins us now —— ben andojoins us now. what is behind the rises? well, for many years rail passenger numbers were increasing steadily and crime was falling. in the last year the number of rail passengers have started falling and crime have started falling and crime have started rising, so what is reversing the trend? until last year, crime on the ra i lwa ys until last year, crime on the railways was going down but british transport police to cover the network in england, scotland and wales say that has changed. overall,

crime is up i7% to 61,159 wales say that has changed. overall, crime is up 17% to 61,159 and the proportion of violent crimes is up by more, nearly one in five. sex crimes are up by 16% and now comprise one in 25 of all crimes committed on the network. so why the increase? the police say they have got better at recording crime and new trains have cctv cameras on board, meaning there is likely to be evidence that can be taken to court so evidence that can be taken to court so victims and witnesses have the confidence to come forward. these figures are worrying but it is important to maintain a sense of perspective. there are just 19 crimes for every million passenger journeys. meaning that statistically you would have to travel via rail every day for 144 years to become a victim of crime. but while not a crime, an increase in the number of people trying to self harm on the ra i lwa ys people trying to self harm on the railways is also causing concern. statistics show that five times

every day police officers or rail staff intervened to stop someone hurting themselves. while more than 300 people did take their lives on the railways last year. well i think there is something of a mystery about why crime is going up even though passenger numbers are falling. crimes we are talking about don'tjust include violent crimes and sexual assault. they also include people throwing stones at trains or trespassing on the railways, that kind of thing. why? they are going up when figures are going down. it is something of a mystery. one other factor is delays. this hasn't been a great year for the railways. there was a botched timetable introduction causing delays and cancellations. when people get emotional and passengers get angry, that can cause trouble. indeed, frustrated passengers, we hear about them a lot. thank you. two companies which sponsor cristiano ronaldo expressed concern

about an allegation of rape made against him. nike described the claim as disturbing and videogame maker ella —— electronic arts is looking into it. as one of the biggest names in sport, cristiano ronaldo is used to being in the spotlight. his performances on the field have attracted huge endorsement deals, but it is an allegation of an incident off it that has led to two of his biggest sponsors expressing concern. with a contract reportedly worth $1 billion, the us sportswear giant nike has said... a sentiment echoed by another sponsor of the star, ea sports. pictured here with kathryn mayorga in las vegas in 2009, shortly after this photo was taken she claims the footballer raped her in the penthouse suite of this hotel. the former manchester united and madrid star insists he is innocent, tweeting...

the portuguese international has been left out of the squad for this month's matches against poland and scotland. his coach isn't saying why. translation: do you think i will tell you here what i discussed with the player, how he felt or not? i will not. these are intimate, personal issues. as for ronaldo, he kept his head down as the left training in turin. power has been restored to parts of the indonesian city of palu one week after it was struck by an earthquake and tsunami. 1400 people are confirmed to have died. let's go straight to hywell griffith in the

city. we are getting used to the images we see behind you. they remain truly shocking. bring us up—to—date. remain truly shocking. bring us up-to-date. absolutely. as you said, some normality returning to palu. the electricity supply coming on intermittently. shops have been able to reopen. some people have been able to buy food. it has helped the rescue effort. the digger bony has stopped temporarily for friday prayers. —— behind me. the search and rescue does continue and it is centred on palu on this enormous shopping centre which a week ago would have been very full and busy after work with diners as well and tragically that's exactly when the earthquake hit. so it is feared that there might still be hundreds of bodies that need to be discovered. whether or not they might be survivors, there was a glimmer of hope yesterday briefly at one of the hotels that collapsed, but the

french rescue team says today they no longer can find signs of life. the death toll as you said has surpassed 1400, tragically it might go well beyond that, because it is believed there are towns and villages completely involved in mudslides. it may be that the bodies can never be counted there. the indonesian government has said it is doing all it can. foreign aid is also arriving. in terms of normality coming back, rebuilding the city, the government estimates could take up the government estimates could take up to two years. that will be an enormous task. the priority for now, keeping rescue and relief going. thank you. hundreds of protesters opposed to president trump's supreme court cabinet brett kavanaugh have convened in washington. it follows an interview in the wall street journal in which he says his testimony was very emotional and reflected his frustration following accusations of sexual assault which he denies. chris buckler has more. the senate, like

america, is divided. and protesters have been doing all they can to be heard by the small handful of politicians who're still deciding whether they will vote for brett kavanaugh. a vote for kavanaugh is a vote saying women don't matter. yes. let's stay together, let's fight, let's keep showing up! cheering. before the senate'sjudiciary committee, christine blasey ford accused brett kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her decades ago at a party when they were both teenagers. his at—times angry denials in which he attacked the democrats, led almost 2,500 law professors to question whether he has the temperament to become a supreme courtjustice. in an article for the wall street journal, judge kavanaugh has now admitted, "i might have been too emotional at times." but donald trump is continuing to fiercely defend the man he selected for the supreme court.

democrats have been trying to destroyjudge brett kavanaugh... the protests and politically charged debate will continue, but a final vote on whether brett kavanaugh should have a seat on america's highest court now seems likely this weekend. the irish prime minister says the brexit deal could be reached in as little as two weeks if it includes plans to avoid a hard border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland. his comments come before a meeting between the chief eu brexit negotiator and four of northern ireland's political parties later today. the environment agency has launched a criminal investigation to establish how times of medical waste including body parts have built up

at disposal sites across england. it emerged that a contract was failing to dispose of hospital waste within the regulatory timeframes. the company blamed a shortage of incinerators. the department of health says there is no risk to patients or the public. it seems like the quest for fashion, charlie, victim of this? no. is affecting the environment according to mps trying to urge high—street stores to encourage us to be better and more mindful about what we buy and how often we wear what we buy. that is key, how often? notjust fashion generally, fast fashion, a phenomenon that has arisen in the last decade and it is quite incredible the amount of time that you would go to the same store every year to buy clothes, every week you see people with bags on the bus, don't you? so this report is critical of the retail industry. it is the environment select committee that has said that they can do more.

one is the production of the clothes, and transporting them all around the world, so the greenhouse gases that are produced doing that, and the discarding of them in landfill, and at incinerator sites, the clothes we are chucking away is not good for the environment. you see lots of big high—street names advertised, facilities to get rid of the clothes, to pass them on and recycle them. it is part of the retail industry response to what is an obvious criticism. they accept that there has been an increase in the environmental impact. they say thatis the environmental impact. they say that is because of growing demand and population in the uk. we are talking to one of the people from the retail consortium in half an hour so it will be interesting to see the take—up. you know, if the stores say we will recycle them properly, are people doing that? we will talk about that later, thank you. just one other story for you. and dog enjoying a lease of life

despite having nearly three quarters of its skull removed after vets created one using a 3d printing. what a marvellous story. surgeons had to remove part of the skull to operate on a brain tumour and the tea m operate on a brain tumour and the team at cornell university made one from titanium, this is a daschund and doctors say the same technology could be used on humans. what we really need is the before, because we saw the beginning, we need the before and after juxtapose. we saw the beginning, we need the before and afterjuxtapose. amazing what they can do. just to see how he is. just to see how patches is as well. fantastic. what have you got? the first england player to be picked for the senior squad this century. james centro, what an incredible story. england really picking the youth and interestingly

he went away from one of the big clu bs he went away from one of the big clubs manchester city to play abroad so he could play football for england. how old is he? 18. he was born in 2000. he started to play at watford when he was seven, all those yea rs watford when he was seven, all those years ago. the junior team. watford when he was seven, all those years ago. thejunior team. yes, obviously the junior team. they were the youngest team in the world cup in summerand gareth the youngest team in the world cup in summer and gareth southgate has gone with a more youthful team, with an average age under 24th of these big matches against croatia and spain. sancho is the youngest. he plays in germany for borussia dortmund and joint manchester city to get the vital first—team experience and it is paying off. elsewhere, former england captain steven gerrard continues to enhance his reputation as a manager when he inspired rangers to come from behind to beat rapid vienna 3—1 in the

europa league. and the cabinet walls are through to the grand final after are through to the grand final after a victory over the favourites st helens. they will go into the final next week and —— the wolves. james anderson has been named england's test player of the year. he became test cricket‘s most successful fast bowler as he passed glenn mcgrath‘s record with the final ball of the summer series against india, and in all he has 564 wickets. we will have more in the papers shortly. thank you. let's find out what's happening with the weather and you might rememberfrom the with the weather and you might remember from the start of the programme that you were showing the disparity in temperatures across the country that we will be seeing over the next couple of days. certainly for today, it will even out tomorrow morning. north and south are completely different feel,

22 celsius possible in the south—east corner by this afternoon, 10 degrees cooler further north. when you have the temperature contrasts like that, there is always something separating the two, and it is usually a weather front with some rain. let's take a look at where it is raining in the next few hours. south and east, the isle of man and north and west wales, expect a few heavy burst of rain, for southern scotla nd heavy burst of rain, for southern scotland and northern england during the morning rush hour. a weather front slowly inching its way southwards as we go through the day. either side of it, a sunny start. the south and east says fine, to the north of it, after a chilly start, and one or two showers. certainly those big temperature contrasts into the afternoon. it will be pleasant in southern areas with temperatures high teens or low 20s. by the end of the afternoon clouding over with a few stretches of rain, stretching through the midlands and yorkshire. not as much rain in the afternoon as we will see this morning. notice the northern side of that in the far

northern side of that in the far north of scotland and northern ireland, sunny spells but one or two isolated showers and it will feel cool compared with other parts of the country. into the night, our weather front is still there are across parts of yorkshire, the midlands towards wales. we start to see something a little bit heavier developer towards the south—west. to the south of it, another mild night and to the north of it a chilly night. scotland, northern ireland and the far north of england cold enough with temperatures in rural areas dropping below freezing. a chilly start to the weekend for some of you, and another day of contrasts, at least to begin with. the weather front we have at the moment is there across the central parts of the uk. by the time we hit saturday that will be further south. so we start with some rain stretching from north—east england and the midlands, through wales and the south—west. dry to start with in east anglia and the south—east, and as well is that wet weather spreading its way towards the south—east corner there will be some pretty windy conditions as well. gale force winds for some, 60 mph

for some, contrast that with light winds. warm conditions for scotland and northern england, where temperatures will be into the low teens at best. in these areas on sunday will see a bit more cloud and breeze. outbreaks of rain across northern and western scotland and northern ireland so the better day of the weekend will be saturday. through much of england and wales, sunday will be the drier and brighter day of the weekends, with a good deal of sunshine around, and temperatures recovering a little bit after that chilly day on saturday. for now, back to you. thank you, see you later. the criminaljustice system cannot cope with the number of people looking at indecent images of children, according to the senior policeman in charge of child protection in the uk. chief constable simon bailey has told breakfast that counselling should available to those who think they might look at such images, before they do so. last month, the government announced extra funding for charities that provide that kind of support. breakfast‘s tim muffett reports. it is the darkest, most horrible

thing, something you keep locked inside you. impulses which dave acted upon. we have changed his name, and his words are spoken by someone else. i started watching aduu someone else. i started watching adult pawn, eventually started looking at child imagery. i was arrested and ta ken looking at child imagery. i was arrested and taken into a police station one night. i told them straightaway they would find images ona straightaway they would find images on a certain laptop of children. i am gladi on a certain laptop of children. i am glad i got arrested to stop anything happening further. i don't know how far i could have gone. they've received a two year suspended prison sentence and was referred to a charity, stopso, a specialist treatment organisation for the prevention of sexual offending. they helped me understand what led me to looking at indecent images, a chance to identify my triggers. i was depressed. it was just an image, i didn't touch them, but after treatment, it made me realise how indirectly i was abusing children. there will be some people watching this thinking, well, you

don't deserve help and sympathy, you deserve to be punished. what do you say to those people? deserve to be punished. what do you say to those people ?|j deserve to be punished. what do you say to those people? i do deserve to be punished, but this is a lot bigger problem than people think. we simply cannot cope with the volume of referrals that we are getting. simon bailey is the police chief in charge of child protection in the uk. he has recently become a patron of stopso, and believes more help should be given to those tempted to access indecent images of children before they do so. what i'm really keen on doing is encouraging those people who recognise from an early age they have a sexual interest in children that they need to seek help. there surely not many other crimes, are there, where someone would get preventative treatment before they thought they might commit the crime. no. no, there are not, but recently cannot arrest our way out of this problem. we are arresting 400 offenders every month. if we tackle it in a multifaceted way, we might stand a chance of actually beating what i believe

genuinely is a scourge of society in the 21st century. this helpline is run by the lucy faithfull foundation, another charity. amongst its many services, it offers support to people who think they might carry out child sexual abuse. last month, the government announced more than £2.5 million of funding for this type of preventative work. the frustration and disappointment... money that could have been better spent, as far as fate is concerned. her charity represents victims of sexual abuse —— fay maxted. her charity represents victims of sexual abuse -- fay maxted. victims have to face up to nine. mac —— wait up have to face up to nine. mac —— wait up to nine months before they get the support they need. sometimes funding is in the wrong direction, and that actually their needs should be prioritised. dave says his illegal behaviour is behind him, and feels he could have stopped it much

sooner. i wish i had sought help beforehand. it is about trying to put an end to it before it progresses. it is a controversial approach to preventing a sickening crime, and there is no conclusive evidence it works. but, for some, such a massive problem requires radical thinking. at 8:10am, we will be speaking to juliet grayson, the co—founder of stopso, a charity that offers therapy to those who may look at indecent images online. it is time for us to have a look at the front pages. looking at the daily telegraph, most papers looking at russian spies, evidence coming from the hague yesterday. the telegraph calls it a humiliation for president trump. spies have caught the imagination of many papers. the times says russia

was caught in the act of a bungled operation. and on the front page of the express, focusing on those images, the image from skripal airport, the russian agents accused of carrying out the cyber attacks. different story on the front page of the daily mirror, looking at a report on what it calls the scandal of the body parts mt. a criminal probe into how hundreds of tons of nhs waste, including body parts and chemicals, has been left to pile up bya chemicals, has been left to pile up by a contractor. and inside the business pages, a big story across a lot of the business pages in all of the papers today. the telegraph has gone by car sales falling by 20% as new tests hit supply. these figures are from september, and they look at the amount of cars being sold in the uk. sales down 20%. so this is for

manufacturers and it is all to do with emissions. we had a huge emissions scandal, mainly volkswagen, and manufacturers have had to go through new emissions tests, creating a backlog of cars getting on the forecourts because they have to go through these extra tests, longer tests than before. but is that a good reason for all of that 20% fall or is there an underlying issue, but we are not buying the new cars we were before? they had problems last year with a decline, and this year and even bigger decline. in there are new charges coming in london. certain car emissions, and diesel as well. emissions policy changes all over the place, and tax changes. i will mention one other. i don't know how you fancy this, in a few of the papers. not home? drivers from waitrose will let themselves in. they are piloting this service in south london where, as the times put

it, a man letting himself into your home, it may look like something out of cs1 but they will deliver your groceries. they will have access to a code on your door, let yourselves and if you are not in... no, they won't. would stuff that is supposed to go in the freezer, and up they will go. they will wear something covering their shoes, they will have a camera on their chest, but you can watch back. is that already happening? and some people are very particular about where things go, you would have to live a long list of instructions, wouldn't you? they would get in trouble for putting it in the wrong places. that is fascinating, it feels like another step. it is a trial that begins... the trial in south london. and creativity is the name of the game in terms of gareth southgate's thinking when picking these young players. james madison is only 21, of leicester, 19—year—old mason

mount has gone to the championship, and the key thing is their ability to create goals. madison, for example, has the most assists from an english midfielder in the premier league. and one of the most creative english midfielder is in the championship. and this is probably just coincidence but another spectator has been hit by a golf ball, this time in scotland. the player says he is devastated, and a woman was asked what level of payment was, on a scale of one to ten, and she said three. it was the 15th tee, very windy, and the conditions took the ball off course, and it hit the lady on the head. she is fine, i am glad to say. and five more years. dettori says he will continue well into his 50s. and we

we re continue well into his 50s. and we were talking about fashion earlier on, and this story in the times, how much clothing we buy in the uk, comparing us to other european nations, in terms of who buys the most clothing. they have come up with this statistic saying that in the uk the average briton buys enough clothing every year to fill a large suitcase, 26.7 kilograms of clothing. the next nearest european nation in terms of how much clothing they buy, guess who is next? shall we play equus? we are the highest in the whole of europe in terms of how much we buy, can you guess who is next? french. italian. germans are next. i did know that one already. 26 kg is the british, the next is the germans at 16, so significantly lower. and the italians, who a lot of people associate with style, are way down the list. i think they are fifth, so much further down the

scale. they are buying fewer clothes. it has nothing to do with climate, at all, does it? we need more clothes, thinking practically rather than in terms of fashion. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. commuters face delays on the tubes and trains this morning because of strike action. members of the aslef union have walked out for 24 hours on the central line in a dispute over working conditions. it also affects the waterloo and city line. there is no service on either lines today or on the central line night tube tonight. so let's start with the travel then. so as we've been hearing no service on the central line or waterloo & city lines.

the overg round is part suspended too. on the trains, there is a reduced service on south western railway due to strike action too. a replacement bus service in place at guildford and no trains to or from bristol. on the roads, the woolwich road flyover is busy northbound to the tunnels. kensington high street going eastbound is down to one lane at kensington church street. and in homerton, there is disruption on the high street, with works in place at marsh hill. in other news: there has been a rise in crimes recorded on london's railways. just over 13,000 offences were reported by british transport police in the past 12 months, up 17% on the previous year. violence accounts for one in five of all cases, after increasing by 25%. but officials say the chances of becoming a victim of crime on the network remains low. it is a rugby league match dubbed the million pound game, and the london broncos are travelling to canada this weekend to take part. they play the toronto wolfpack for a place in the super league next season. the canadian outfit would be the first transatlantic side to break into the league, but the bronocos stand in their way. it is huge. i think it is certainly

the biggest game for the club since the biggest game for the club since the cup final in 1999, it is what is at stake, and the prize on offer, to get back to super league is massive. so we have put ourselves in a great position. we have had a fantastic year and now we are just 80 minutes away from making it perfect. now the weather, with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning. today will bring us the same sort of weather as we saw yesterday. it is a very similar looking start, there are some patches of mist and fog out there so poor visibility on some of there so poor visibility on some of the roads. lots of low cloud around as well. it is a mild start and there will be lots of sunshine a bit later on through this afternoon, perhaps temperatures even a touch higher than they were yesterday. so those mist and fog patches will gradually lift and clear through the

morning. it should all be gone by the middle part of the morning, really, and then the sunshine will emergejust about really, and then the sunshine will emerge just about everywhere across the capital. a bit of cloud just creeping in from the west as we head towards the end of the day, perhaps, but with a light breeze it will be pleasa ntly warm but with a light breeze it will be pleasantly warm in the sunshine again. 2122dc the high. now, through this evening and overnight again we're going to see a lot of low cloud, so me the breeze will pick up again by tomorrow morning. again, a mild in the dry start to the day. it will not say dry for too long. a weather front will bring us some heavy outbreaks of rain through the day, it will also feel quite cold and wind will pick up full stops gusty winds, wet and rather chilly. sunday it is but the breeze will pick up again by tomorrow morning. again, a mild in a dry start to the day. it will not stay dry for too long. a weather front will bring us some heavy outbreaks of rain through the day, it will also feel quite cold and wind will pick up full

stops a gusty winds, wet and rather chilly. sunday it is nice, dry, but still cool. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. it's 6:30am. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment. but also on breakfast this morning: we'll be live in liverpool, where almost a million people are expected to line the streets hoping to catch a glimpse of the royal de luxe giants, who'll be performing for the last time. four schools in london had to close this week after an influx of false widow spiders. how dangerous are they? we'll have an expert and our own false widow on the sofa just after 7:30am. and we will clear that out to make room for tim peake, because he will be on the sofa with us talking all things space. and he has a special challenge in store to see if we've got what it takes. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. the number of rail passengers falling victim to crime has increased in the last year. figures from the british transport police show that more than 60,000 offences were recorded in the year to the end of march, a 17% rise. our correspondent ben ando has more. until last year, crime on the railways was going down

but british transport police to cover the network in england, scotland and wales say that has changed. overall, crime is up 17% to 61,159 and the proportion of violent crimes is up by more, nearly one in five. sex crimes are up, too, by 16%, and now comprise one in 25 of all crimes committed on the network. so, why the increase? the police say they've got better at recording crime and all new trains have cctv cameras on board, meaning there're more likely to be evidence that can be taken to court so victims and witnesses have the confidence to come forward. these figures are worrying but it's important to maintain a sense of perspective. there arejust 19 crimes for every million passenger journeys. meaning that statistically you'd have to travel via rail every day for 144 years to become a victim of crime. but while not a crime, an increase in the number of people trying to self harm on the railways is also causing concern. statistics show that five times

every day police officers or rail staff intervene to stop someone hurting themselves. while more than 300 people did take their lives on the railways last year. hundreds of protesters opposed to president trump's supreme court candidate, brett kavanaugh, have been arrested in washington. the comedian amy schumer is reportedly among those detained. in an interview with mr kavanaugh in the wall streetjournal, he said his testimony last week was too emotional but reflected his frustration following accusations of sexual assault, which he denies. power has be reintroduced to the indonesian island of palu where more than 1400 people have died. dozens of charities have launched appeals for emergency funds to help the

survivors. two companies which sponsor cristiano ronaldo have expressed concern about an allegation of rape which has been made against him. nike described the claim as "disturbing" and the video game maker, electronic arts, said it was "closely monitoring the situation". the footballer has strongly denied any wrongdoing. the irish prime minister, leo varadkar, says a brexit deal could be reached in as little as two weeks, if it includes a plan to avoid a hard border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland. his comments come ahead of a meeting between the eu's chief brexit negotiator, michel barnier, and four of northern ireland's political parties later today. a british man has died after being bitten by a sea snake in australia while working on a fishing trawler. emergency crews were called to a boat off the coast of groote island, 400 miles east of the capital darwin, but were unable to save the 23—year—old. police say uk officials have been notified. high street stores are fuelling a "throwaway culture" which is damaging the environment, mps have said. they're asking some of britain's top fashion retailers, including marks and spencer, next and primark, how they plan to reduce

the environmental and social impact of the clothes they sell. the environmental audit committee says the fashion industry fuels climate change, spreads microplastics into the oceans and fills up landfill sites. gps in shetland are to begin prescribing nature as a new treatment for conditions including depression and high blood pressure. under a partnership between nhs shetland and the bird charity rspb scotland, doctors will be able to prescribe activities such as a walk in the country or bird watching in addition to more conventional treatments. mike, you're nodding.” mike, you're nodding. i think, what a great idea. actually, it works, it works for me when i'm stressed and doing too much, not that i do too much but i look at the buffalo in the fields near where i live. of all the fields near where i live. of all the wildlife i was expecting you to say i wasn't expecting the word

buffalo. water buffalo live on a farm nearby where i live and they are incredible creatures and ijust look at them and it takes away the stress. i can janat. what have you got? this is a lovely story, born this century already, england senior playerjames centro, this century already, england senior player james centro, plays this century already, england senior playerjames centro, plays in germany for borussia dortmund, he can boast to be a world cup winner for england, —— james sancho. can boast to be a world cup winner for england, ——james sancho. the under 17 world cup will be played through the group phases and he scored twice. he has history. very creative player. what do we know about him,?james creative player. what do we know about him,? james sancho, creative player. what do we know about him, ? james sancho, that is the name to remember. well he came through as an academy graduate at watford where he was picked up by manchester city as a 14—year—old. but last summer rather than wait for his chance in pep guardiola's team he took the chance to move permanently to the german club borussia dortmund for around £8 million. he's started two matches in the champions league already for them this season, and you can see there that in domestic football he's assisted more goals than any other player in the big five leagues in europe. this is how the 18—year—old reacted

on his instagram page where he's pictured playing for england's youth teams, he already has an under 17 world cup winner. sancho here saying it's a proud day for him and his family and he feels truly honoured and blessed. well, this is what the england manager thinks of him. he has been brave enough to go abroad and play, and has started two champions league games for dortmund, he has had a really big impact from the bench in their league matches. so that has been a brave decision by him, to go and seek his opportunity. but playing at a big club in front of big support every week, and with the psychological strength to deal with that. rangers waited seven years to play in european competition before this season but now they top their group in the early stages of the europa league. their match against rapid vienna was poised at 1—1 going into the final stages

but they won this penalty, cue delight for manager steven gerrard, who watched james tavernier put his team in front. they went onto win 3—1 in an electric atmosphere at ibrox. well, rangers' old firm rivals celtic have had a difficult start to their season. they fell to a 3—1 defeat against red bull salzburg in their second match of this competition. they have three points from their opening matches. they're also off the pace in the scottish premiership table so it's been a troubled few weeks for manager brendan rodgers. there was a first arsenal goal for their academy graduate emile smith rowe in their 3—0 over the champions of azerbaijan, qarabag. smith rowe is from croydon, he's only 18 years old and he may have eyes on being back in this stadium in baku in an england shirt in two years' time when it hosts four matches at euro 2020. and chelsea scraped past hungarian champions vidi at stamford bridge to maintain their 100% start in the europa league. alvaro morata's goal proving decisive.

now, it is all happening injapan. second practice is under way at the japanese grand prix. there we are, updating you, this is happening this morning. 0h, there we are, updating you, this is happening this morning. oh, it has just happened, has it? yeah. lewis hamilton was quickest in first practice ealier the world championship leader dominated the first session, going 0.446 seconds quicker than his team—mate valtteri bottas. it looks like he is doing the same in the second session. we are growing accustomed to lewis hamilton's so says. you seem to think he is doing well. and when you consider that pressure that he is under. you take it for granted sometimes. it is a terrific season for him. absolutely. warrington wolves are through to the super league grand final after a dramatic win over favourites st helens. saints finished top of the table but their season is now over after two tom lineham trys helped warrington to a thrilling 18—13 victory. heartbreak for st helens,

but its the wolves that go on to next weeks final at old trafford where they'll face either wigan or castleford who play this evening. two weeks after being left out of eddiejones's england training squad, danny cipriani has been named premiership player of the month for september. he was arrested and fined for assault and resisting arrest on a preseason tour injersey in august, butjones said he picked other players ahead of him purely based on form. james anderson and jos buttler have been named england's test and one day players of the year respectively. anderson became test cricket's most successful fast bowler as he passed glenn mcgrath‘s record with the final ball of the summer series against india. he has 564 wickets. buttler excelled again in the one day game and regained his place in the test side. he's with the team in sri lanka where they're playing their first warm up game right now. it has just started, it is under

way. finally, what is your aim like with an air rifle? 2020 vision? with contact lenses. 0k. not bad. what about if you run 400 metres, of course, you are fitter than that. it isa course, you are fitter than that. it is a sport called target sprint, the championships in bristol are this weekend, that is me coming in from behind, then you have to shoot targets and when you have the five targets and when you have the five targets you have to run another 400 metres, shoot five more targets and then run another 400 metres. they have a version of this in the winter olympics with skiing. and that has given them this idea around the world. the uk have caught on. we will have a closer look at that tomorrow. see if i can hit the targets while puffing and panting. we will see. thank you. he's only been in the job since last week, but plaid cymru's new leader adam price will address his party this afternoon

at their annual conference. top of his agenda, a vote on welsh independence by 2030 and a referendum on the final brexit deal. hejoins us now from cardigan. very good morning to you, adam price. congratulations on your win. cani price. congratulations on your win. can ijust price. congratulations on your win. can i just establish price. congratulations on your win. can ijust establish your position in relation to brexit? you join as leader, your party, at an extreme time in british politics, very polarising time. what is your position in relation to the negotiations over brexit and the final deal? well, you're right. we are seeing before our eyes, westminster is descending into absolute chaos and under these circumstances the only option left to us really is to take it back to the people. the people that were lied to. it is increasingly clear,

literally lied to. of course, the believe campaign have broken the law and they have been referred to police. lying is a compulsion in the british political establishment, they did it over the iraq war, they did it with brexit but it is ordinary people who are left to pay the price and i think many of them will be very angry about the deception that was at the heart of the leave campaign. are you calling for a second referendum? absolutely, absolutely. and in that referendum it is almost certain that no sensible deal will be on the table. we tried to argue for a practical, pragmatic approach, staying in the single market, which would protect our economic interest here in wales, that won't be on offer and in those circumstances we should vote to remain in the european union in order that we can protect the livelihoods of people of wales. what is your policy in relation to welsh

independence? we want it. it is a very simple truth here, charlie. no country ever ruled another well and wales is a case of that. we were a rich country 100 years ago and we've been left with virtually nothing. we are one of the poorest countries in western europe and it has nothing to do with our potential. it is because of misrule and mismanagement of the economy. i don't know if you know this but life expectancy is falling faster than anywhere else in europe. we are plummeting in the global education ranking. that is an area where we used to excel. we fight line for 20 years in terms of our economy. there is nothing inevitable about that. there is nothing about the welsh people that predetermined us to poverty that means that we should earn less, learn less or die younger than anyone else. and the only way we can change it is to take

our future into our own only way we can change it is to take ourfuture into our own hands only way we can change it is to take our future into our own hands and become an independent country. plaid cymru, the third biggest party in wales, what evidence could you point us to that there is a groundswell of opinion along the lines you are talking forth, independence for wales ? talking forth, independence for wales? well, charlie, you go into politics because you want to persuade people. you want to change minds. you know, we voted labour in wales for 100 years, but what have we got to show for it? i am in the business of saying to people there is an alternative. it doesn't have to be this way. the poverty that i grew up in and that we all grew up in wales is not inevitable. there is an alternative choice. if we take control of our own problems and find solutions as an independent country than we can be the prosperous, fair, successful cou ntry than we can be the prosperous, fair, successful country i believe we can be. adam price, 24 your time this morning. temperatures are very desperate, i

would say, today. is that normal for the time of year? yes, it can be. in between winter and summer, you get vast swings from one to the other, and that will be the case today in the top and tail of the country. in the top and tail of the country. in the south, a lovely warm days, and further north feeling like autumn, temperatures climbing from a chilly start. when you get those temperature contrast you will get rain in between, and that is the case this morning. south—eastern parts of northern ireland, western wales, isle of man, southern scotla nd wales, isle of man, southern scotland and northern england will have outbreaks of rain. heavier births pushing into southern scotla nd births pushing into southern scotland and northern england, they will work their way eastwards through the morning rush—hour —— heavier bursts. certainly to the north, much of scotland, northern ireland will have a lovely sunny start, after a fresh start. mist and fog clearing to leave a pleasant

day, with sunny spells. with light winds it will feel quite warm outback, 22 celsius the high. things will cloud over to the south and east of wales, some splashes of rain. not as wet this afternoon as it has been, brightening up away from the likes of yorkshire across other parts of northern and north—western england. but for scotla nd north—western england. but for scotland and northern ireland, lots of sunshine. temperatures still ten to 12 degrees into the afternoon, even with that sunshine. a breeze blowing across shetland, a cold night across the north tonight. our rain band since the yorkshire and eventually the south—west and it will start to turn a little bit heavier in the rain by the time we get to the morning. still separating the milder air to the south is we go into saturday morning and much colder conditions further north. temperatures dropping below freezing for some, but the contrast we see today will even out a little bit through tomorrow. a weather front on the move southwards and eastwards, forming into a substantial area of low pressure which will be welcome

news to some gardeners across the south. many will get a good drink, and snuggle down saturday. wales in south—west england brightening up as it will do in the far north and north—west of england. eventually towards east anglia and the south—east, some heavy rain and strong and gusty winds could touch 45 mph. and the winds will be much lighter, and another crisp, fresh, autumn day. temperatures ten to 12 degrees but lots of sunshine to go with it. further south, degrees but lots of sunshine to go with it. furthersouth, down degrees but lots of sunshine to go with it. further south, down on today's values, and colder because of that winds. england and wales having a vast lee improved day on sunday, a much better day, with some sunny spells and staying dry. scotla nd sunny spells and staying dry. scotland and northern ireland and eventually the far north—west of england will see a different day. the best of the sunshine will be on saturday, and on sunday lots more cloud, outbreaks of rain, and starting to feel just a touch cloud, outbreaks of rain, and starting to feeljust a touch milder once again. do you know what the forecast

reminds me of? wherever you are in the uk you will need completely different outfits, because it is all to psy—tu rvy. different outfits, because it is all topsy-turvy. it is. and do you know the best person today to help you choose your outfits? he has brought his whole wardrobe into the studio. could be sean? and he has been arranging it so that it gives me an insight into his life. he carries that trolley in every morning. you should see the palaver in deciding what to wear first thing. why are we talking clothes? are we essentially buying too many cheap clothes, and over and over that is causing environmental issues? that is what this report from mps is saying today. i have to admit i don't have much fast fashion. i am usually suits and football tops. there are some lovely blouse is as well, with one or two of mine, generally those are from the rest of the gang.

yes, we are talking about fast fashion. turning the latest catwalk creations into outfits, like some of these that a few of the breakfast team and i have brought in. mps say the process is a major source of greenhouse gases, and a huge amount of landfill. i'll put those issues to retailers in a moment. but first, here is my colleague kate mcgough asking some of you how often you updated your wardrobe. how h ow ofte n how often are you buying something new? usually maybe every three months, something like that. i don't buy a of clothes. what is the oldest thing in your wardrobe, for example? i don't know. i've got an overcoat thatis i don't know. i've got an overcoat that is getting on probably four or five years now. what is the oldest thing in your wardrobe that you still wear? probably this. will be this hollisterjacket. i have had it for almost a year now. i have got my address i had when i was 18, when my

daughter fitted into it address i had when i was 18, when my daughterfitted into it a couple address i had when i was 18, when my daughter fitted into it a couple of months ago. but whether i will fit into it, that is another question. i've got a few of my grandma's vintage dresses from her wardrobe that i still wear. so some people make it last a while, are enough of us? andrew opie is the policy director of the british retail consortium, and joins us from our london newsroom. what is driving this? is that consumers or is that retailers being able to make more money by selling as fast fashion? it is consumers, really. we a re as fast fashion? it is consumers, really. we are very fashion conscious nation and the growth of things like social media, people being able to share trends and trend is accelerating quicker, and the fa ct we is accelerating quicker, and the fact we have fantastic retailers in this country, whose logistics and ability to get these fashion items onto the shelves is fantastic and affordable for us all. we are a very fashion conscious nation, and retailers are meeting that demand. you say it is consumers, you

acknowledge in this report that the demand for clothes in the uk has meant there has been more environmental impact than there was before. why don't the retail industry do something about that instead of just industry do something about that instead ofjust going along with what they think consumers want and damaging the environment? they do, and all responsible retailers regardless of which market they are really aiming at always put sustainability at the heart of their business. is it high enough? you talk about your £5 t—shirt, if you went to more effort to make that more environmentally conscious but charged £10 for it, why wouldn't the retailer do that? well, the principles of sustainability apply wherever and whatever clothing you are selling. how much water is used, how the customer can care for it, and at the end of that what the customer does at the end of its life, and therefore what we need to do. and this report is prompting all of us, as consumers, to think about the environmental impact of our clothes and how we can reuse and

recycle our clothes. why is it that we buy on average, this report says, around 27 kg of clothes a year. germany, the next biggest, is ten kilograms less than that, 16 kilos. and italy, and many people would think that people from italy are more fashion conscious than we are, on the whole, they are by even fewer close a year. are on the whole, they are by even fewer close a year. are consumers on the whole, they are by even fewer close a year. are consumers have a genuine interest in fashion, and wa nt to genuine interest in fashion, and want to look great. more of an interest in fashion and people around the rest of europe? possibly, but the fundamentals remain the same. we as retailers have a really big responsibility in making sure that those clothes are as sustainable as possible. we know from the figures we have been looking at, working with government, how we have cut things like energy and water use. there is much more that we can do. and we have heard a lot of retailers say bring your clothes into us, we can try and

recycle the more specifically and better. do you know what the take—up of that has been? you have figures on that? i don't, but what i do know is... we have heard about landfill today, and ten times as much clothing goes to charity shops and therefore into reuse and recycling and goes into landfill. so it is a very small proportion currently wasted. we need to cut that, definitely, but as consumers we are being much better, and retailers are getting much better at improving the sustainability of our clothes. thank you very much, andrew. who is driving it and whose responsibility is it? it is a chicken and egg type of situation. and there are still some people sleeping. i think if we look now at merseyside, you get a sense of... there is a gentleman having a little snooze. these of course are the

giant puppets who will be walking the streets a little later on. it is ha rd to the streets a little later on. it is hard to get a sense of proportion until we see jayne. he sleeps for now. but soon he will wa ke he sleeps for now. but soon he will wake up. this is one of three giants who over the next three days are going to absolutely wow about 1 million people in merseyside. we are in new brighton on one side of the mersey this morning. you can see the liverpool docks, and here, take a look at the detail. his hair is made of horsehead, his eyelashes are brush bristles, and the detail is phenomenal. as you say, the scale. you can really get a sense of the scale when i stand next to his feet. and look at the detail, as well, on these sandals. this is going to be amazing over the next three days. street theatre on a grand scale brought to us by royal de luxe, arguably the most important street

theatre company in the world. and this is the last time they will ever put on these giant shows. i spent the last few days going around liverpool finding out why people are falling in love with these giants. something has been raised from the depths of the mersey. what happening? just a normal day in the office. crane operator, art critic. it isa office. crane operator, art critic. it is a big shoes. this giant shoe is just the start of a giant adventure, which will be seen by around 1 million people here in liverpool this weekend. takes you back to your childhood. absolutely. i've got goosebumps. i'm really getting emotional. it's brilliant. give us a hard, you. you've got tea rs give us a hard, you. you've got tears in your eyes looking at a giant sandal! i know, wait until a see the man! this really is art

which has the power to move people. the giants have visited liverpool twice before. they have played to 24 million people around the world. but this weekend's adventure will be their last adventure. three minutes to go! and even before the giants begin to move, the crowds arrive.” am so excited. get yourselves in, folks, enjoy yourselves. inside st george's hall, a little boy giant sleeps before his very last outing. is all costing authorities here £5 million. they expect tenfold back to the local economy, and to enchant the local economy, and to enchant the city. it does cost a lot of money to put something like this on. we have just been talking about that. do you think it is money well

spent? absolutely, absolutely. why? because it is life—affirming, and it is here in the pool, and how lucky we? —— liverpool. people are thrilled, but how do you operate a giant like this? meet colin. you are responsible for which pa rt colin. you are responsible for which part of the giant? i am operating his right leg. how does one get a gig like this? it was advertised on the website, and we all had to put in an application, be invited for an audition, and we spent two days seeing if we could cope with the task at hand. is it hard? it is very strenuous. you have done this before, give us a sense of how incredible it is going to be in the next few days. people as far as the eye can see. we are into some spectacular things, the giant waking up, doing some amazing things and also setting off on some amazing

journeys. and they will be meeting up journeys. and they will be meeting up and they will be enchanting people all over the city. and we will have much more from new brighton over the next couple of hours. for now, let me hand over to the news, travel and weather wherever you are waking up this morning. good morning from bbc london news. commuters face delays on the tubes and trains this morning because of strike action. members of the aslef union have walked out for 24 hours on the central line, in a dispute over working conditions. it also affects the waterloo and city line. there is no service on either line today, or on the central line night tube tonight. so let's start with the travel, then. so as we've been hearing no service on the central line or waterloo and city lines. the overg round is part suspended too. on the trains, there's a reduced service on south western railway due to strike action too. a replacement bus service in place at guildford and no trains

to or from bristol. on the roads, the woolwich road flyover is busy northbound to the tunnels. borough high street has one lane shut northbound at southwark street due to works. kensington high street going eastbound is down to one lane at kensington church street. and in homerton, there's disruption on the high street with works in place at marsh hill. in other news: there has been a rise in crimes recorded on london's railways. just over 13,000 offences were reported by british transport police in the past 12 months, up 17% on the previous year. but officials say the chances of becoming a victim of crime on the network remains low. in other news, it's a rugby—league match dubbed the million pound game and the london broncos are travelling to canada this weekend to take part. they play the toronto wolfpack for a place in the super league next season. the canadian outfit would be the first transatlantic side to break into the league,

but the bronocos stand in their way. it's huge. i think it's certainly the biggest game for the club since the challenge cup final in ‘99. you know, it's — what's at stake, and the prize on offer, to get back to super league, is massive. hello, good morning. today will bring us the same sort of weather as we saw yesterday. it's a very similar looking start. there are some patches of mist and fog out there, so poor visibility on some of the roads, lots of low cloud around as well. it's a mild start, and there will be lots of sunshine a bit later on through the afternoon, perhaps temperatures even a touch higher than they were yesterday. so those mist and fog patches will gradually lift and clear through the morning. it should all be gone by the middle part of the morning, really, and then the sunshine will emerge just about everywhere across the capital. a bit of cloud just creeping in from the west as we head towards the end of the day, perhaps, but with a light breeze it's

going to feel pleasantly warm in the sunshine again. 21 or 22 degrees celsius the high. now, through this evening and overnight, again we're going to see a lot of low cloud, some mist reform, so the breeze will pick up again by tomorrow morning. again, a mild and a dry start to the day. but it's not going to stay dry for too long. a weather front will bring us some heavy outbreaks of rain through the day. it will also feel quite cold, and the wind will pick up. so gusty winds, wet and rather chilly. sunday it's nicer, dry, but still cool. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today: a 17% rise in crime recorded on britian's railways. latest figures show an increase in the number of violent and sexual offences on the network. us sports giant nike says it's extremely concerned about rape allegations made against

footballer cristiano ronaldo. he strongly denies the claims. our love of fast fashion is harming the environment, according to mp5, who criticise a retail industry they say relies on us chucking away our clothes. 21st century boy jadon sancho — england call up their first player born in this millennium. we're live with the giant puppets, expected to draw up to a million spectators to merseyside this weekend. and in the weather it is a day of temperature contrast, warm in the south, much cooler in the south, around 10 degrees, in between the rain, find out how that will result in your day rain, find out how that will result in yourday and rain, find out how that will result in your day and your weekend here on brea kfast. it's friday, the 5th of october. our top story: the number of rail passengers falling victim to crime has increased in the last year. figures from the british transport police show that more than 60,000 offences were recorded in the year to the end of march, a 17% rise.

ben ando joins us now from king's cross station in london. good morning. it is getting busy, isn't it? everything seems to be running smoothly, but it is not a lwa ys running smoothly, but it is not always the case in terms of these figures. yes, good morning. and you're right, no, it is something of a paradox, because for many years rail passenger numbers were going up and up and cry more steadily falling. in the last year passenger numbers are down but crime has gone up. so why is that, why has it reversed the trend? until last year, crime on the railways was going down but british transport police to cover the network in england, scotland and wales say that has changed. overall, crime is up 17% to 61,159 and the proportion of violent crimes is up by more, nearly one in five. sex crimes are up, too, by 16%, and now comprise one in 25

of all crimes committed on the network. so, why the increase? the police say they've got better at recording crime and all new trains have cctv cameras on board, meaning there're more likely to be evidence that can be taken to court so victims and witnesses have the confidence to come forward. these figures are worrying but it's important to maintain a sense of perspective. there are just 19 crimes for every million passengerjourneys. meaning that statistically you'd have to travel via rail every day for 144 years to become a victim of crime. but while not a crime, an increase in the number of people trying to self harm on the railways is also causing concern. statistics show that five times every day police officers or rail staff intervene to stop someone hurting themselves. while more than 300 people did take their lives on the railways last year. and while of course the serious and

violent crimes will be the ones that cause the most worry, it is worth bearing in mind that the vast majority of crimes are petty crimes of theft, fare dodging or a fray between passengers and it brings me onto a point some have made, on certain lines, including one out of king's cross, there have been badly introduced timetables, delays and cancellations, people getting very frustrated, emotional, and maybe that could be causing passengers to suffer from that could be causing passengers to sufferfrom rail rages in some cases. over to you. thank you very much. hundreds of protesters opposed to president trump's supreme court candidate, brett kavanaugh, have been arrested in washington. in an interview with the wall streetjournal, mr kavanaugh said his testimony last week was too emotional. our washington correspondent chris buckler reports. the senate, like america, is divided.

and protesters have been doing all they can to be heard by the small handful of politicians who're still deciding whether they will vote for brett kavanaugh. a vote for kavanaugh is a vote saying women don't matter. yes. let's stay together, let's fight, let's keep showing up! cheering. before the senate'sjudiciary committee, christine blasey ford accused brett kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her decades ago at a party when they were both teenagers. his at—times angry denials in which he attacked the democrats, led almost 2,500 law professors to question whether he has the temperament to become a supreme courtjustice. in an article for the wall street journal, judge kavanaugh has now admitted, "i might have been too emotional at times." but donald trump is continuing to fiercely defend the man he selected for the supreme court. democrats have been trying

to destroyjudge brett kavanaugh... the protests and politically charged debate will continue, but a final vote on whether brett kavanaugh should have a seat on america's highest court now seems likely this weekend. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. high street stores are fuelling a "throwaway culture" which is damaging the environment, according to mp5. sean's here to tell us more. so mps want the high—street stores to do something about how much we buy. yes, they say it is becoming increasingly more harmful to the environment. the amount of clothes we buy in the uk, nearly 27 kg of clothes, the weight of the big suitcase of clothes, compared to, as we mentioned earlier, germany and

italy, weigh less clothes being bought and the retail industry think something should be done about this at both ends of the process, both at the production, the greenhouse gases used in making all of these clothes, and shipping them, flying them around the world to the uk. and then the amount that's going into landfill as well. we are buying twice as many clothes as we were ten yea rs twice as many clothes as we were ten years ago. twice as many items of clothes. not just the years ago. twice as many items of clothes. notjust the amount of money we are spending. we are getting through a lot more. and retailers are reliant on us chucking it all giving it away and buying something new. mps have said we heard from retailers and mps say that we should do more and retailers say that it is consumer driven which is where the controversy lies. something we will talk about a lot, iam sure. something we will talk about a lot, i am sure. thank you. companies which sponsor cristiano ronaldo have expressed concern about an allegation of rape made against him.

nike described the claim as "disturbing" and the video game maker, electronic arts, said it was "closely monitoring the situation". the footballer has strongly denied any wrongdoing. caroline rigby reports. as one of the biggest names in sport, cristiano ronaldo is used to being in the spotlight. his performances on the field have attracted huge endorsement deals, but it is an allegation of an incident off it that has led to two of his biggest sponsors expressing concern. with a contract reportedly worth £800 million, the us sportswear giant nike has said... a sentiment echoed by another sponsor of the star, ea sports. pictured here with kathryn mayorga in las vegas in 2009, shortly after this photo was taken she claims the footballer raped her in the penthouse suite of this hotel. the former manchester united and madrid star insists he is innocent, tweeting... the portuguese international has

been left out of the squad for this month's matches against poland and scotland. his coach isn't saying why. translation: do you think i will tell you here what i discussed with the player, how he felt or not? i will not. these are intimate, personal issues. as for ronaldo, he kept his head down as the left training in turin. the environment agency is launching a criminal investigation to investigate how times of body waste has built up a disposal sites across england when it emerged the contractor failed to dispose of hospital waste in the regulatory

timeframes, which the company blamed ona timeframes, which the company blamed on a shortage of incinerators. the department of health said there is no risk to patients or the public. the irish prime minister, leo varadkar, says a brexit deal could be reached in as little as two weeks, if an agreement border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland. his comments come ahead of a meeting between the eu's chief brexit negotiator, michel barnier, and four of northern ireland's political parties later today. our correspondent adam fleming joins us now from brussels. so, adam, this two—week mention by leo varadkar, that's a short space of time, we know that time is tight, so what's he basing that on? so this two—week time period is because of the eu summit in the middle of this month and i think it's going to be a really big deal. people are saying the whole brexit agreement, the divorce treaty, could it be finished by then? there is a huge amount of work going on behind the scenes and

in front of the scenes as well. but northern ireland and the border is still the main sticking point. four of the northern ireland parties are coming to brussels today to be briefed by michel barnier, chief negotiator, on his version of a plan to avoid a high border which he has been tweaking for a couple of months to look more palatable to the uk. then we think the uk is working on its own alternative plan which we could see in the next couple of days. although leo varadkar, the irish prime minister, said it has some big problems, for example, is the eu ready to discuss a uk wide customs arrangement or is it something for negotiations in the next phase? also the uk are looking at whether the northern irish assembly can be given more powers to help to deal with this problem. leo varadkar pointing out there is no northern ireland assembly because of political issues in northern ireland. the fact is we haven't seen anything on paper, a lot is gossip and speculation, but hopefully we will see words written down in the

next few days so we can judge for ourselves and then on wednesday the plan is for michel barnier to unveil his vision for how he sees the future relationship between the eu and the uk and that will dig at —— that will be a big moment if it happens. thank you very much, adam. now, we can show you the men accused of being russian spies involved in a series of cyber plots across the globe. their targets in the uk included the foreign office and the porton down defence research facility. dutch police say they were found with a car full of equipment which they planned to use to hack the offices of the international chemical weapons watchdog. the kremlin denies it all, saying these claims are driven by "western spy mania". but evidence, including taxi receipts and mobile phone logs point to, russian millitary intelligence known as the gru. joining us now from our london newsroom is former british intelligence officer malcolm taylor. malcolm, good morning. thank you

very much for talking to us. just looking at the front pages today there is seemingly very different ta kes there is seemingly very different takes about the audacity of russian spies, the meddling and the ineffectiveness of what these russian spies have done. what do you make of all this? i think it is probably true that all of those things are the case. i think we have seen a concerted attempt by western allies to shed some light on what the russians are doing because they have been incredibly aggressive off late in this area particularly. is this unusual to see if, let's just ta ke this unusual to see if, let's just take ineptitude for the first instance, is it unusual to see this level of ineptitude, because they have been caught, found out? they have, yes, and one of the reason is because this particular attack they we re because this particular attack they were trying to instigate needed them to be in the country and, of course,

clearly deploying four intelligence officers into a hostile country, which holland is in this case, massively increases their risk and, as we have been seen, they have been caught. the other thing that is unusual of course is the way the british government, the american government, the dutch have gone public with what they know about russian intelligence operations, and i think russian intelligence operations, and ithink in russian intelligence operations, and i think in part that was an attempt to shed light on what they are doing, to try and prevent them doing it, or to manage how they are doing it, or to manage how they are doing it in the future. i thought the british ambassador to holland spoke very well yesterday when he said they operate in the dark and we need to shine a light on them so that we can help prevent them from doing this in the future. what is, or who comprises the gru? so, the gru is a military intelligence, the main military intelligence, the main military intelligence, the main military intelligence capability in

russia, reputed to be the biggest russian intelligence agency, bigger than the kgb, the fsp and it comes under the control of the defence minister so it is able to combine a powerful intelligence collection capability with a military capability with a military capability as well which helps it to deploy overseas. if the line of command goes through the defence minister is the natural understanding that putin would have known all about this and would have been the one delivering the orders? i think that's probably the natural assumption for anything that happens in russia, so, yes. so when he denies this, when he denies any knowledge, and the west is accused of, you know, spy mania, what does this say? i think he has no choice, you know, what else can he say? is simply have to deny it. and that's what we are seeing here. his denials are no more than that. that is his

only position that he can take. as a former senior british intelligence officer, you have washed what's going on, does it look like sophisticated work by the gru, or does it look like sloppy work? take a read of the headlines in the british newspapers this morning, which are all about bungling and novichukle, those kind of things, it looks on the surface like it is quite amateur. but putin has shown before that he doesn't mind being caught, that is the first thing. maybe too, i mean, i looked at it yesterday and i thought this looks so amateur that maybe they wanted to be caught. and so send a message. i suspect it is more bungling ineptitude than anything else, but it has taken people by surprise i thinkjust how it has taken people by surprise i think just how amateurish it has taken people by surprise i thinkjust how amateurish it appeared to be. thank you for your

observations, malcolm taylor, former senior british intelligence officer joining us from the london newsroom. here is matt with a look at this morning's weather. asi as i understand it, some places in the 20s and some places a lot colder today. indeed, two seasons fighting it out across the uk today. the feel of late summer across southern counties, temperatures up around 22 celsius, and the cooler colours, 12 degrees the high for some across parts of scotland, northern ireland and the far north of england later. and when you get temperature contrasts like that, you need a weather front in between. contrasts like that, you need a weatherfront in between. weather fronts as always usually mean rain. and if you are about to head out in the short term, rain clearing away from northern ireland and then spreading across southern scotland, the far north of england, some heavy bursts on that as it moves its way eastwards as well. to the south of ita eastwards as well. to the south of it a few mist and fog patches, to

the north of its sunshine across much of scotland and the far north of northern ireland at the moment. one or two showers, and for most, some light winds and a pleasant day. further south, a different feel. light winds channel islands, southern england, staying dry all day long, sunny spells and pleasa ntly warm day long, sunny spells and pleasantly warm ties between 19 and 22. clouds for much of wales, the far north and west midlands and a good part of northern england during the day. outbreaks of rain becoming more isolated, brightening up towards cumbria and northumberland, and scotland and northern ireland will have a fairly lovely, sunny afternoon. a real autumn feel but temperatures ten to 12 degrees. and clear skies and lighter winds, you are likely to see a frost developed. temperatures dropping below freezing for some. a milder start to the south and east and that is because you are still on the southern side of this weather front, gaining intensity through parts of yorkshire, the north midlands, wales and down towards the south—west of england. that weather front were

produced some welcome rain, i suspect, too many garden across the south—west. still very parched at the moment, but it is a case of snuggle down saturday as that pushes its way eastwards. heavy bursts of rain easing away from the north and west of england, north and west wales during the morning. sliding into the midlands during a good part of the day and after a dry start in east anglia and the south—east, turning wetter and windy. we could see gale force winds accompanying bat, lighter winds further north where we will see lots of sunshine. a pleasant autumn day, a fresh day for a walk, and a pleasant autumn day, a fresh day fora walk, and in a pleasant autumn day, a fresh day for a walk, and in the south the wind will feel cooler than 12 or 13 celsius. a big contrast to the 22 celsius. a big contrast to the 22 celsius you will get today. a breeze in the south—east. the rain clearing, england and wales having a better day of the weekend with good sunny spells. a bit of rain by the end of the day but scotland and northern ireland a breezy day on sunday. after saturday's sunshine,

cloud and rain at times for sunday. thank you very much. the criminaljustice system cannot cope with the number of people looking at indecent images of children, according to the senior police officer in charge of child protection in the uk. chief constable simon bailey has told breakfast that counselling should be available to those who are tempted to look at such images, before they do so. last month, the government announced extra funding for charities that provide support. tim muffett reports. it's the darkest, most horrible thing, something you keep locked inside you. impulses which dave acted upon. we have changed his name, and his words are spoken by someone else. i started watching adult porn, eventually started looking at child imagery. i was arrested and taken into a police station one night. i told them straightaway they would find images on a certain laptop of children. i'm glad i got arrested, to stop anything happening further. i don't know how far i could have gone.

dave received a two—year suspended prison sentence and was referred to a charity, stopso, a specialist treatment organisation for the prevention of sexual offending. they helped me understand what led me to looking at indecent images, a chance to identify my triggers. i was depressed. it was just an image, i didn't touch them. but after treatment, it made me realise how, indirectly, i was abusing children. there will be some people watching this thinking, well, you don't deserve help and sympathy, you deserve to be punished. what do you say to those people? i do deserve to be punished, but this is a lot bigger problem than people think. we simply cannot cope with the volume of referrals that we are getting. simon bailey is the police chief in charge of child protection in the uk. he has recently become a patron of stopso, and believes more help should be given to those tempted to access indecent images of children before they do so. what i'm really keen on doing

is encouraging those people who recognise from an early age they have a sexual interest in children that they need to seek help. there surely aren't many other crimes, are there, where someone would get preventative treatment before they thought they might commit the crime? no, no, there are not. but we simply cannot arrest our way out of this problem. we are arresting 400 offenders every month. if we tackle it in that multifaceted way, we might stand a chance of actually beating what i believe genuinely is a scourge of society in the 21st century. this helpline is run by the lucy faithfull foundation, another charity. amongst its many services, it offers support to people who think they might carry out child sexual abuse. last month, the government announced more than £2.5 million of funding for this type of preventative work. the frustration and disappointment... money that could have been better spent, as far as fay maxted is concerned.

her charity represents victims of sexual abuse. victims and survivors have to wait maybe up to nine months before they get the counselling they need. some will think that funding is in the wrong direction, and that actually, their needs should be prioritised. dave says his illegal behaviour is behind him, and feels he could have stopped it much sooner. i wish i'd seeked help beforehand. it's about trying to put an end to it before it progresses. it is a controversial approach to preventing a sickening crime, and there is no conclusive evidence it works. but, for some, such a massive problem requires radical thinking. at 8:10am we will be speaking to juliet grayson, the co—founder of stopso, a charity that offers therapy to those who may look at indecent images online. you are watching

breakfast from bbc news. still to come this morning: have you got what it takes to go travel to space? astronaut tim peake, who spent six months on the international space station, willjoin us with a special challenge. anything you want to ask him, get in touch with us in the usual way. this is the view in merseyside, where they will be giant puppets performing. one is taking a nap on the beach, just ahead of the performance later today. thousands of people are expected to watch. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. commuters face delays on the tubes

and trains this morning because of strike action. members of the aslef union have walked out for 24 hours on the central line in a dispute over working conditions. it also affects the waterloo and city line. there is no service on either line today, or on the central line night tube tonight. so let's start with the travel, then. so, as we have been hearing, no service on the central line or waterloo and city lines. minor delays on the jubilee minor delays on thejubilee line. the overg round is part—suspended, too. on the trains, there is a reduced service on south western railway due to strike action, too. a replacement bus service in place at guildford, and no trains to or from bristol. on the roads, it is slow going on the marylebone flyover into town. borough high street has one lane shut northbound at southwark street, due to works. and in clapton: and the woolwich

ferry is not running because of some fog. in other news: there has been a rise in crimes recorded on london's railways. just over 13,000 offences were reported by british transport police in the past 12 months, up 17% on the previous year. but officials say the chances of becoming a victim of crime on the network remains low. it is a rugby league match dubbed the million pound game, and the london broncos are travelling to canada this weekend to take part. they play the toronto wolfpack for a place in the super league next season. the canadian outfit would be the first transatlantic side to break into the league, but the bronocos stand in their way. it's huge. i think it's certainly the biggest game for the club since the challenge cup final in ‘99. you know, it's — what's at stake, and the prize on offer, to get back to super league, is massive. now the weather, with elizabeth rizzini.

hello, good morning. today will bring us the same sort of weather as we saw yesterday. it's a very similar looking start. there are some patches of mist and fog out there, so poor visibility on some of the roads, lots of low cloud around as well. it's a mild start, and there will be lots of sunshine a bit later on through the afternoon, perhaps temperatures even a touch higher than they were yesterday. so those mist and fog patches will gradually lift and clear through the morning. it should all be gone by the middle part of the morning, really, and then the sunshine will emerge just about everywhere across the capital. a bit of cloud just creeping in from the west as we head towards the end of the day, perhaps, but with a light breeze it's going to feel pleasantly warm in the sunshine again. 21 or 22 degrees celsius the high. now, through this evening and overnight, again we're going to see a lot of low cloud, some mist reform, so the breeze will pick up again by tomorrow morning. again, a mild and a dry start to the day. but it's not going to stay dry for too long. a weather front will bring us some heavy outbreaks of rain through the day. it will also feel quite cold, and the wind will pick up. so gusty winds, wet and rather chilly. sunday it's nicer, dry, but still cool.

i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. the number of rail passengers falling victim to crime has increased in the last year. figures from the british transport police show that more than 60,000 offences were recorded in the year to the end of march, a 17% rise. it comes after a "long period" of steady decline. hundreds of protesters, opposed to president trump's supreme court candidate, brett kavanaugh, have been arrested in washington. the comedian amy schumer is reportedly among those detained. in an interview with the wall streetjournal, mr kavanaugh said his testimony last week was too emotional, but reflected his frustration following accusations of sexual assault, which he denies. power has been restored to the

indonesian city of palu after it was hit by an earthquake and tsunami. 1400 have died and dozens of charities have launched appeals for funds to help survivors. two companies which sponsor cristiano ronaldo have expressed concern about an allegation of rape which has been made against him. nike described the claim as disturbing and the video game maker, electronic arts, said it was "closely monitoring the situation". the footballer has strongly denied any wrongdoing. the irish prime minister, leo varadkar, says a brexit deal could be reached in as little as two weeks, if it includes a plan to avoid a hard border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland. his comments come ahead of a meeting between the eu's chief brexit negotiator, michel barnier, and four of northern ireland's political parties later today. unilever, which is the owner of many household brands from dove to

marmite have scrapped plans to move the headquarters away from london, it was going to move to rotterdam in the netherlands as part of an efficiency plan. it has changed its mind after mounting shareholder pressure. a british man has died after being bitten by a sea snake in australia while working on a fishing trawler. emergency crews were called to a boat off the coast of groote island, 400 miles east of the capital darwin, but were unable to save the 23—year—old. police say uk officials have been notified. high street stores are fuelling a throwaway culture which is damaging the environment, mps have said. they're asking some of britain's top fashion retailers, including marks & spencer, next and primark, how they plan to reduce the environmental and social impact of the clothes they sell. the environmental audit committee says the fashion industry fuels climate change, spreads microplastics into the oceans and fills up landfill sites. and one more story to bring you. a dog is enjoying a new lease of life despite having nearly

three—quarters of its skull removed after vets created a new one using a 3d printer. so, this is patch. you can see the problem. they had to operate on a brain tumour. a team from cornell university in the us used a 3d printer to make one from titanium. the nine—year—old daschund is said to be doing fine, and doctors believe the same technology could be used on humans. seems to be absolutely ok, which is amazing. very pleased. matt will have the weather. split fortunes across the country. good fortune for this young chap. jadon sancho, it remember britney spears? oops, idid jadon sancho, it remember britney spears? oops, i did it again. 18 yea rs spears? oops, i did it again. 18 years ago he was born.”

spears? oops, i did it again. 18 years ago he was born. i can't remember it. before your time, as if. the first england senior player to be born this century, which is scary. he has done the business for brucie dortmund this season and under 17 world cup winner for england last year. he has been called for the senior games against croatia and spain —— borussia dortmund. so what do we know about jadon sancho? born in march 2000, he started as a junior at watford when he was seven before joining manchester city aged 14. with a lack of first team opportunities the under—17 world cup winner took the chance to move permanently to the german club borussia dortmund for around £8 million. and he has done so well for them there. he has featured in 19th this season, scoring once. he has been brave enough to go abroad and play, and has started two champions league games for dortmund, he has had a really big impact from the bench in their league matches. so that has been a brave decision by him, to go and seek his opportunity.

but playing at a big club in front of big support every week, and with the psychological strength to deal with that. and the amazing stat as well about sancho, he has more assists in any of the top five leagues in europe coming off the bench this season. what does it mean? as a substitute he has come on and done better than any other substitute that any other player in five leagues this season. you need some water, naga. anyway. rangers waited seven years to play in european competition, before this season, but now they top their group, in the early stages of the europa league. their match against rapid vienna was poised at 1—1 going into the final stages. and look at the manager steven gerrard. james tavernier, put

his team in front. they went onto win 3—1 in an electric atmosphere at ibrox. well rangers' old firm rivals celtic have had a difficult start to their season. they fell to a 3—1 defeat against red bull salzburg in their second match of this competition. a troubled few weeks for the manager brendan rodgers. there was a first arsenal goal for their academy graduate emile smith rowe, in their 3—0 over the champions of azerbaijan, qarabag. smith rowe is from croydon, he's only 18 years old and he may have eyes on being back in this stadium in baku in an england shirt in two years' time when it hosts four matches at euro 2020. and chelsea scraped past hungarian champions vidi, at stamford bridge to maintain their 100 % start in the europa league. alvaro morata's goal proving decisive. second practice is under way at the japanese grand prix. lewis hamilton was quickest in first lewis hamilton was quickest in first practice ealier. and he has dominated the second session as well. he went fastest early on and the world championship leader dominated the first session, going a little under half a second quicker than his team—mate valtteri bottas.

sebastian vettel is eight tenths adrift of the leader. warrington wolves are through to the super league grand final after a dramatic win over favourites st helens. saints finished top of the table but their season is now over after two tom lineham trys helped warrington to a thrilling 18—13 victory. heartbreak for st helens, but its the wolves that go on to next weeks final at old trafford where they'll face either wigan or castleford who play this evening. now, how is your aim with an air rifle ? now, how is your aim with an air rifle? normally you would be ok, u nless rifle? normally you would be ok, unless you have run 400 metres, you are out of breath and you are panting and puffing, so this is tomorrow's little feature we have for you, i tomorrow's little feature we have foryou, iam tomorrow's little feature we have for you, i am trying to keep up with the world number two in the women's sport, so you have run 400 metres, staggering up to the targets, which could be a bit worrying, luckily they are just plastic targets, the british championships are this weekend in bristol. and i think naga

is worried about my aim, she has gone to get some water. fantastic vision, fantastic aim. i wasn't quite as accurate, but we will find out how you got on and not only do you shoot five targets, you have to run around, and do it all again and an unfortunate at —— part of the end when i hit the camera. it was a little camera that we positioned on the target. and it survived. so you we re the target. and it survived. so you were notaiming the target. and it survived. so you were not aiming for it? not deliberately. mishap. don't try it at home. we will see more on that tomorrow. targets print, a new sport. four schools in london have closed this week after an influx of the most dangerous spider species in the uk, the false widow. they're about the size of a 50p coin and although not life—threatening, their bite can cause painful swelling. it's thought it could take up to a month to fumigate the buildings. ann's son mitchell has just started at rokeby boys school, which is one of those affected.

if they have got into anyone else's clothes, bags, they took it to their houses and that is why i checked this bag because i don't want false widows in my house. there was no sign ofany widows in my house. there was no sign of any spiders and then i was told that there was eggs, i started told that there was eggs, i started to get creaked, because there was eggs. so there are some of those affected. we're joined now by arachnologist, have i said that right? yes! sarah goodacre and flora, the false widow. so you have named her flora? yes, this is flora, she originally would have been found in the canary islands, now found in parts of the uk as well, and she is part of our

bigger research programme at the university of nottingham looking at how to make artificial spider silk, how to make artificial spider silk, how can we make it useful in medicine, engineering? hack can we understand what these spiders eat, where they go, what problems they might cause? did we do a warning in case anyone is scared of spiders?m is worth saying because sometimes people are alarmed seeing a spider. absolutely. the thing is that being frightened of a spider is a fear that we know many people have and it is very real. and what we would like to say is clearly there has been a problem at these schools and the teachers and everyone else involved is acting in the best interests of the whole community of children. and that must be very difficult to decide what to do if teachers or children are uncomfortable.” decide what to do if teachers or children are uncomfortable. i was just going to say... it isn't poisonous? all spiders are venomous to something. these spiders theoretically... i researched the literature. i was concerned they might be more dangerous than we

thought. i survey the literature and two people have been beaten since 1991 across europe and they had a slightly sore arm and a slightly sore leg. it was less sore than a bee sting. most of the report that you read, we are not sure that this is the problem and i am keen to have a dialogue about this because if you close a school and you fumigate, you are changing the environment, you are changing the environment, you are doing something quite drastic andl are doing something quite drastic and i would like to know what the underlying rationale is for why you do that. these spiders are going to be around every autumn, they will come into schools, homes, and in their native range, so where you'd normally find them in the canary islands they don't cause a problem. i have never heard of a holidaymaker going and being bitten.” i have never heard of a holidaymaker going and being bitten. i will read what newcastle are saying. we have been made aware of a small number of infestations and public health england have informed us it doesn't pose a serious health risk can cause

a painful bite and four schools have closed at head teacher discretion to treat the infestation which includes fumigation. i guess once you know that they are there, you have to do something. it is a bit like saying we think we might have a wasp nest, so we think we might have a wasp nest, so what do we do? you can put it in that sort of... you do what is necessary to ensure that... apart from the fact that there is something additional here, which is the fear. you are right. and when we have the environment, we are not comfortable with knowing that they are there. another thing i would like to suggest is to have a dialogue about the fact that we are uncomfortable about them being there. we know that they are limited in terms of the harm that they can do. theoretically if you poke flora really ha rd do. theoretically if you poke flora really hard she might be able to give you a nip and it might be less than poking a wasp and it is good to be honest and tell children that and tell the people who are working with

them and in that area. just to be honest they are in the environment and if we can try to have a good discussion about what a spider is and how important they are then maybe our response wouldn't be so extreme and we would feel better.m flora ok in here? that is a really good question. flora travelled here ina big good question. flora travelled here in a big container so she is happy. she is probably not hugely happy. she is probably not hugely happy. she will be absolutely fine. she has been fed a little cricket last night. she is happily fed. we made sure she is happy. i will return her to the lab later. and you said they came from the canaries. yes. how did they get here? i should imagine that humans are the reason. we don't really know. the south of england, where the first reports were seen, but people suggest they are a very rapid invader. well it has taken 120 years to get as far as the midlands. it has not really been very speedy. another quick one as well, does warm weather hold this population? will

weather hold this population? will we see less of them when it gets cold? it we see less of them when it gets cold ? it is we see less of them when it gets cold? it is hard to answer that question and actually people in the uk may be able to help to answer that in years to come. we don't really know the different interactions. so for example warm weather might help this one fine food. and it will produce more eggs. it might also be that it helps another creature to eat it, so a bigger spider might eat this one. it is all of the interplay and the relationships between different types of animals in our environment that we don't fully understand and here is an opportunity to say is it in the london area? yes, it is, and does it come indoors? yes, it probably does. something tells me we might well receive pictures spiders today. thank you very much, really interesting. and if you see a spider in your house, let us see a picture. why not? absolutely. how are you with spiders, if the weather is cold, we shouldn't worry, obviously?

they do a valuable job, i am cold, we shouldn't worry, obviously? they do a valuablejob, i am quite happy with spiders. i have to confess, i did discover spiders do to, as well. we discover little marks over the paintwork. logic dictates that would happen. logically, all the physiological things that animals do, spiders do as well. the feel of some towards southern areas. further north is a good deal cooler. temperatures after a frosty start for one or two up to 12 degrees through this afternoon. to get the temperature contrasts you need something to separate the two, a weather front. this need something to separate the two, a weatherfront. this is need something to separate the two, a weather front. this is where it has been raining so far today. heavy bursts of rain across scotland and the far north of england, through this morning some splashes of rain the northern and western wales as it works its way southwards and eastwards but either side of that we have sunshine too much of scotland

and northern ireland. one or two isolated showers, a breeze in the far north. to the south we start with a mist and fog patch, i'll start and a very pleasant day. temperatures 19 to 22 celsius through the afternoon with some good sunny spells. clouding over more across parts of the midlands through the afternoon, and one or two spots of drizzle. still some rain at times across yorkshire but turning dry and bright a further north than in the scotla nd bright a further north than in the scotland and northern ireland this is where it should be a lovely afternoon. ok, a realfresh feel out there but very pleasant but sunny spells and just one or two showers. into the night, a weather front which separates those two different air masses starts to get a little bit heavier and a bit more widespread once again across parts of northern england, the midlands, wales and eventually into the south—west. to the south of it a very mild start to saturday morning. to the north of it, the far north of england, scotland and northern ireland, one or two showers but cold enough for temperatures to drop below freezing to take us into the

start of the weekend. a lovely crisp, fresh day to come. the england and wales, it is a day the gardeners will probably enjoy more than those having to stand on the side of football pitches with the kids. a wet start for northern england, the midlands, wales and the south—west. rain easing away from wales and the midlands through the day. towards the midlands and the south—east that may start dry, but winds touching gale force in places will add to the chill. temperatures are good 10 degrees lower than we are good 10 degrees lower than we are seeing today. temperatures further north and west similar to what we are seeing through the afternoon but a lovely fresh day afternoon but a lovely fresh day after a crisp start. temperatures around ten to 12 degrees, isolated showers but most will be dry. this will be the better day of the weekend, on sunday, and a dry day with lots of sunshine around before clouds moving across the north. northern ireland in scotland, make the most of your saturday sunshine. we flick the fortunes around. you will see more cloud and outbreaks of

rain. across the uk, after that chilly saturday, temperatures will be upjusta chilly saturday, temperatures will be up just a little bit. chilly saturday, temperatures will be upjust a little bit. next chilly saturday, temperatures will be up just a little bit. next week it could get warmer still. that is how it is looking. it does look warmer next week, i have been looking ahead in the regional forecast. into the 20s again. summer is back. so when you go to a discotheque and you want the song played by the disc jockey... have i just stepped you want the song played by the disc jockey... have ijust stepped back to the 1970s? the principle remains the same, someone has to pay when music is played. when people go clubbing, perhaps. and naga is a bit more with it, i think. i have no idea how this stuff works. good morning, everybody. we are talking about djs and

dancing, but quite a serious story behind it if you follow the money. we're talking about the specially featured entertainment tariff. anywhere that plays recorded music which is either mixed by a dj or where customers have a bit of a boogie to the tunes has to pay it. at the moment, they pay about 3.8p per person in the venue per hour. the body that collects that money and pays royalties to the artists whose music is played says it needs to go up. they are suggesting around 22p would be fairer to the music industry. but uk hospitality, which represents clubs, hotels and bars, says it will result in a £72 million cost increase for its businesses. julie tippins is the head of compliance for the dhp family group of venues. she is also an ex—dj herself. it was much simpler when i was a dj.

we are going to talk about the serious issue of the money behind it. artists need to get paid for what they do, don't they? and clubs and bars take advantage of their music and play it and everybody has a good time. 3.8p per person per venue per a good time. 3.8p per person per venue per night. yes. that has been in place for 30 years. surely it is time for it to go up. well, it goes up time for it to go up. well, it goes up every year anyway, it goes up by rpi. so it has been increasing every year, but the amount of money that they are asking for is not viable for our businesses. we calculate at one of our businesses for two nights worth of music we play, we would go up worth of music we play, we would go up from worth of music we play, we would go m paying worth of music we play, we would go up from paying £6,000 a year to nearly £60,000. for one venue you would have a £60,000 cost increase. so that is clearly a lot of money. yes. could you cope with that? some

venues yes. could you cope with that? some venues could cope but it would cut the amount of money we have for future investment, stop us from doing a lot of things we would like to do, it would stop us reinvesting backin to do, it would stop us reinvesting back in our venues, buying new equipment, giving staff pay increases. for small venues it will be the end of them, they will not be able to remain economically viable paying that kind of money. do you think mother, and this is a consultation which has been put out, it is not like they are saying this where it will end up, but do you suspect there needs to be quite a substantial move so that artists are getting paid a fair amount? well, others are getting paid a fair amount, and we do a massive amount of work helping artists emerge. if you think about all the publicity that you get when your records are played in nightclubs and in bars, that helps people, that brings it to new audiences. you know, we do a massive amount of work helping djs, artists, record labels, to grow their art is. so the penalise ask in this way is really unfair. we want to be part of a successful music

industry and this will certainly kill it off. it could kill off the music industry? if you haven't got places for new and emerging artists to play out, they won't get exposure. if they don't get exposure they won't be able to become stars, really. that is the way the music industry works. we are reliant on small venues, small nightclubs, to help the industry to grow. where will it end up? nobody wants a load of nig htclu bs will it end up? nobody wants a load of nightclubs closing across the uk. we have seen that happen anyway. absolutely, we have lost loads of nightclubs. what do you suspect will happen next? i think there will have to bea happen next? i think there will have to be a discussion and i think bringing it out into the open, talking about the transparency, and a lot of artists whose records get played in nightclubs don't see this money. that is one of the issues we have with ppl. so a lot of artists probably think they are getting a reasonable amount of money from ppl, and they are not. for us, we have to really battened down with ppl and go this is not acceptable. thank you

very much. julie runs a few bars and clubs around the country, and it will be a very interesting one to follow. that isa very interesting one to follow. that is a big change in costs but the money in the music industry is one where people that have —— have questions about where it goes. hundreds of thousands of people are expected in merseyside this weekend to watch giant puppets walk the streets. it is the third time they have visited the area. jayne mccubbin is there for us this morning. in the foreground you may see a sleeping giant, but you won't be able to pick out jayne, who sleeping giant, but you won't be able to pick outjayne, who is their. have you ever guarded a giant before? never. and the crowds are out. good morning, everybody. how excited are we? very. and what do we

wa nt to excited are we? very. and what do we want to say to the giant? come and meet him. how fantastic is this, one of three giants descending on merseyside this weekend. they will be seen by about 1 merseyside this weekend. they will be seen by about! million people. have a look at the detail. this is the work of royal de luxe, the street theatre company from france. they have been all over the world with these giants, but this is the last time you will ever see them here on merseyside. there he is made of horse hair, brush bristles for the eyes, and have a look at the scale. look at the feet here. how do you operate a giant like this? well, you operate a giant like this? well, you need a team of lilliputians, don't you? good morning to you. you are legs, and you, charlie art... arms. let's get to the detail. how do you make this guy wake up and move? well, it usually takes a team to be able to wake up the giant. we obviously have to have an interesting selection of music to be

able to do so, because obviously he is very tired and it does take a lot to wa ke is very tired and it does take a lot to wake him up. music and muscles. can we see the guns? like that. literally you are on the ropes, you? how do you guys worked together?m we basically work in a rotation where we take turns and we will actually stand on the platform and ta ke actually stand on the platform and take over one of the ropes. and at the moment we have to jump take over one of the ropes. and at the moment we have tojump in take over one of the ropes. and at the moment we have to jump in time with the music and with the others as well, and make it so that all the magic happens. you must be worn out by this. how long are you making the giant move? will be a good few hours. we have a few rehearsals where we have been walking giant around to get used to it but this will be an entirely different experience. with the crowd excited and cheering us on, with the music as well, it should be dead easy. at the end of the day it will probably bea the end of the day it will probably be a bit harder. and how excited are you? this is such a big event, you

can't really compound until you see the giant out in the real world. in the giant out in the real world. in the rehearsals you are just like, yes, working on the giant, doing your part as the team, but here in liverpool, on the mersey... let's ta ke liverpool, on the mersey... let's take a sneak peek over in liverpool where the little boy giant is asleep ina hammock where the little boy giant is asleep in a hammock in st george's hole, and the detail on these is absolutely phenomenal —— st george's hall. not only does he breathe in and out, he takes those little shuddering breath that rabies do when they are just coming to. very excited, aren't we, people? yes! raise your hand if you are a man on your own this morning. we have run out of time but we will chat to you quys out of time but we will chat to you guys later. let's have another look at this and handover to the news, and weather wherever you are waking up and weather wherever you are waking up this morning. good morning from bbc london news.

commuters face delays on the tubes and trains this morning because of strike action. members of the aslef union have walked out for 24 hours on the central line in a dispute over working conditions. it also affects the waterloo and city line. both lines are affected today, as well as the central line night tube tonight. so let's start with the travel, then. so, as we've been hearing, no service on the central line and severe delays on the waterloo and city lines. minor delays on thejubilee line, and the overground is part—suspended too. on the trains, there is a reduced service on south western railway due to strike action too. a replacement bus service in place at guildford, and no trains to or from bristol. on the roads, it is slow going on the marylebone flyover into town. borough high street has one lane shut northbound at southwark street due to works. in clapton, the lea bridge road is shut eastbound from lea bridge roundabout to orient way,

because of the flooding. and finally, the woolwich ferry is not running because of fog. in other news, there has been a rise in crimes recorded on london's railways. just over 13,000 offences were reported by british transport police in the past 12 months, up 17% on the previous year. but officials say the chances of becoming a victim of crime on the network remains low. it is a rugby league match dubbed the million pound game, and the london broncos are travelling to canada this weekend to take part. they play the toronto wolfpack for a place in the super league next season. the canadian outfit would be the first transatlantic side to break into the league, but the broncos stand in their way. it's huge. i think it's certainly the biggest game for the club since the challenge cup final in ‘99. you know, it's — what's at stake, and the prize on offer, to get back to super league, is massive, yeah. now the weather, with elizabeth rizzini. hello, good morning.

today will bring us the same sort of weather as we saw yesterday. it's a very similar looking start. there are some patches of mist and fog out there, so poor visibility on some of the roads, lots of low cloud around as well. it's a mild start, and there will be lots of sunshine a bit later on through the afternoon, perhaps temperatures even a touch higher than they were yesterday. so those mist and fog patches will gradually lift and clear through the morning. it should all be gone by the middle part of the morning, really, and then the sunshine will emerge just about everywhere across the capital. a bit of cloud just creeping in from the west as we head towards the end of the day, perhaps, but with a light breeze it's going to feel pleasantly warm in the sunshine again. 21 or 22 degrees celsius the high. now, through this evening and overnight, again we're going to see a lot of low cloud, some mist reform, so the breeze will pick up a touch by tomorrow morning. again, a mild and a dry start to the day. but it's not going to stay dry for too long. a weather front will bring us some heavy outbreaks of rain on and off through the day. it will also feel quite cold, and the wind will pick up. so gusty winds, wet and rather chilly. sunday it's nicer, dry, but still cool.

i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today... a 17% rise in crime recorded on britian's railways — latest figures show an increase in the number of violent and sexual offences on the network. us sports giant nike says it's "extremely concerned" about rape allegations made against footballer cristiano ronaldo. he strongly denies the claims. our love of fast fashion is harming the environment according to mps who criticise a retail industry they say relies on us chucking away our clothes. 21st century boy jadon sancho — england call up their first player, born in this millennium.

have you got what it takes to go travel to space? astronaut tim peake willjoin us with a special challenge. and in the weather, it is a date of contrast, some are in the south but autumn in the north and rein in between. which season will win out for the weekend? join me for the full forecast. it's friday the 5th of october. our top story. the number of rail passengers falling victim to crime has increased in the last year. figures from the british transport police show that more than 60,000 offences were recorded in the year to the end of march, a 17% rise. ben ando joins us now from king's cross station in london — ben, do we know what's behind the rise? it is perhaps unhappy commuters that might be contributing to this? good morning. ithink

good morning. i think this is a bit ofa good morning. i think this is a bit of a mystery and the reason is that for many years passenger numbers we re for many years passenger numbers were going up and up and, at the same time, crime figures were going down consistently and steadily. suddenly, in the last year, passenger numbers have gone down, a sharp drop, and crime has gone up. what could have caused this apparent reversal in the figures? until last year, crime on the railways was going down but british transport police, who cover the network in england, scotland and wales, say that has changed. overall, crime is up 17% to 61,159 and the proportion of violent crimes is up by more — nearly one in five. sex crimes are up, too, by 16%, and now comprise one in 25 of all crimes committed on the network. so, why the increase? the police say they've got better at recording crime and all new trains have cctv cameras on board, meaning there's more likely to be evidence that

can be taken to court, so victims and witnesses have the confidence to come forward. these figures are worrying but it's important to maintain a sense of perspective. there arejust 19 crimes for every million passenger journeys, meaning that, statistically, you'd have to travel via rail every day for 144 years to become a victim of crime. but while not a crime, an increase in the number of people trying to self harm on the railways is also causing concern. statistics show that five times every day police officers or rail staff intervene to stop someone hurting themselves, while more than 300 people did take their lives on the railways last year. 0f of course, while much of the focus will be on the serious crimes, we should remember that the majority of those figures will be relatively low—level crimes and in terms of the

causes, this has not been the best yearfor causes, this has not been the best year for the railways with a botched introduction of new timetables, so possibly angry passengers could be one cause. the police are also saying they have done a lot to encourage people to come forward from introducing things like a new, anonymous texting service and people reporting more crime and feeling the confidence to do so could also be another reason for these figures going up. thank you, ben. the irish prime minister, leo varadkar, says a brexit deal could be reached in as little as two weeks, if an agreement can be brokered on the border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland. his comments come ahead of a meeting between the eu's chief brexit negotiator, michel barnier, and four of northern ireland's political parties later today. our correspondent adam fleming joins us now from brussels. are there any grounds for his optimism? you are following everything there. people might be a bit confused by this comment from leo varadkar. given what we have heard recently

about how far apart the parties are. can you explain? this is what is happening come in two weeks there is a summit of eu leaders, i think it will be quite a big moment for brexit. we are coming close or actually to the point where the divorce deal is done and agreed. the big stumbling block is still this back—up plan, known as a backstop in the jargon, for preventing a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland if a future trade deal between the uk and the eu does not solve that problem. the eu has a version and they have been tweeting it and they are presenting it to the northern irish political parties and businesses today and next week —— they are tweeting it. the uk rejects that concept and they are coming forward with their own alternative plan for preventing the introduction of customs checks between northern ireland and ireland. we don't know when it'll come out. we had some clues about

what it might contain and the uk is sounding pretty confident that it could solve the problem but leo varadkar yesterday it was notjust saying he was optimistic there would bea saying he was optimistic there would be a deal but also a bit pessimistic because he said some of the things he had heard about what the uk might propose might not work. it is confusing, and i will say this for the 1,000,000th time it is brexit so until it is written down and agreed by everybody, we don't really know but there will be a lot of things happening in the next couple of days. thank you. hundreds of protesters, opposed to president trump's supreme court candidate, brett kavanaugh, have been arrested in washington. the comedian amy schumer is reportedly among those detained. in an interview with the wall streetjournal, mr kavanaugh said his testimony last week was "too emotional" but reflected his "frustration" following accusations of sexual assault, which he denies. two companies which sponsor cristiano ronaldo have expressed concern about an allegation of rape which has been made against him. nike described the claim

as "disturbing" and the video game maker electronic arts said it was "closely monitoring the situation". the footballer has strongly denied any wrongdoing. caroline rigby reports. as one of the biggest names in sport, cristiano ronaldo is used to being in the spotlight. his performances on the field have attracted huge endorsement deals, but it is an allegation of an incident off it that has led to two of his biggest sponsors expressing concern. with a contract reportedly worth almost £800 million, the us sportswear giant nike has said... a sentiment echoed by another sponsor of thejuventus star, ea sports. pictured here with kathryn mayorga in las vegas in 2009, shortly after this photo was taken she claims the footballer raped her in the penthouse suite of this hotel. the former manchester united and madrid star insists he is innocent, tweeting...

the portuguese international has been left out of the squad for this month's matches against poland and scotland. his coach isn't saying why. translation: do you think i will tell you here what i discussed with the player, how he felt or not? i will not. these are intimate, personal issues. as for ronaldo, he kept his head down as he left training in turin. russia has hit back at claims it was involved in a series of cyber attacks, saying the accusations are part of an anti—russian campaign by the west. yesterday the uk, the us and the netherlands said russian intelligence agents have targeted political institutions, businesses, media and sport.

our moscow correspondent is sarah rainsford. i was talking to a former security intelligence officer and he was considering the idea about whether or not russia is extremely competent and sending a message or whether the gru is incompetent and had literally messed up a plan by us being able to uncover this. it is the big question, whether these are incompetent spies or if they are trying to send a message, that russia can penetrate all sorts of systems and carry out all sorts of a cts systems and carry out all sorts of acts around the world but at this point wejust don't acts around the world but at this point we just don't know. as far as russian officialdom is concerned, they are dismissing all the allegations and accusations. we heard from the foreign ministry yesterday, a spokeswoman talking about a cocktail of accusations, a

diabolical cocktail. they then made a statement talking about a state managed propaganda campaign against russia led by the uk. the state media here has been talking about a total lack of evidence and that is despite the fact that we saw all sorts of evidence laid out by the netherlands for an extraordinary trail that led back to moscow and we have managed to confirm that two of the suspects identified in the netherlands, we know they are linked to military sites here in moscow than that was confirmed independently. we know that the taxi receipt was genuine, that one suppose it in spite of a taxi to the airport from a military facility on his way to apparently to carry out this attack. if moscow is feeling at all uncomfortable, it is still not showing it. it is interesting, the plot thickens! thank you, sarah. the criminaljustice system "cannot cope" with the number of people looking at indecent images of children, according to the senior police officer in charge of child

protection in the uk. chief constable simon bailey has told breakfast that counselling should be available to those who are tempted to look at such images, before they do so. last month the government announced extra funding for charities that provide support. tim muffett reports. it's the darkest, most horrible thing, something you keep locked inside you. impulses which dave acted upon. we have changed his name, and his words are spoken by someone else. i started watching adult porn, eventually ended up looking at child imagery. i was arrested and taken into a police station one night. i told them straightaway they would find images on a certain laptop of children. i'm glad i got arrested, to stop anything happening further. i don't know how far i could have gone. dave received a two—year suspended prison sentence and was referred to a charity, stopso, a specialist treatment organisation for the prevention of sexual offending. they helped me understand what led me to looking at indecent images,

a chance to identify my triggers. i was depressed. it was just an image, i didn't touch them. but after treatment, it made me realise how, indirectly, i was abusing children. there will be some people watching this thinking, well, you don't deserve help and sympathy, you deserve to be punished. what do you say to those people? i do deserve to be punished, but this is a lot bigger problem than people think. we simply cannot cope with the volume of referrals that we are getting. simon bailey is the police chief in charge of child protection in the uk. he has recently become a patron of stopso, and believes more help should be given to those tempted to access indecent images of children before they do so. what i'm really keen on doing is encouraging those people who recognise from an early age they have a sexual interest in children that they need to seek help. there surely aren't many other crimes, are there, where someone would get preventative treatment before they thought they might commit the crime? no, no, there are not.

but we simply cannot arrest our way out of this problem. we are arresting 400 offenders every month. if we tackle it in that multifaceted way, we might stand a chance of actually beating what i believe genuinely is a scourge of society in the 21st century. hello, stop it now helpline. this helpline is run by the lucy faithfull foundation, another charity. amongst its many services, it offers support to people who think they might carry out child sexual abuse. last month, the government announced more than £2.5 million of funding for this type of preventative work. frustration and disappointment... money that could have been better spent, as far as fay maxted is concerned. her charity represents victims of sexual abuse. victims and survivors have to wait maybe up to nine months before they get the counselling they need. some of them will think that funding is always directed

in the wrong direction, and that, actually, their needs should be prioritised. dave says his illegal behaviour is behind him, and feels he could have stopped it much sooner. i wish i'd seeked help beforehand. it's about trying to put an end to it before it progresses. it is a controversial approach to preventing a sickening crime, and there is no conclusive evidence it works. but, for some, such a massive problem requires radical thinking. tim muffett, bbc news. with us now isjuliet grayson, the chair and co—founder of stopso, a charity that offers therapy to offenders and people concerned about their own behaviour. thank you forjoining us. it is a tricky one because a lot of people will be watching, and as we showed in the interview with a man who said he had access to pornographic images and was tempted to do so, some

people will think that these people don't deserve sympathy, they know they are doing something wrong. others will say, as we heard from the police, that there are so many offenders, the police cannot keep on top of it. when somebody comes to you and says they are tempted, how difficult is it to balance those concerned from both sides? in some ways you can't win. in essence, this is about child protection. our main job at stopso is to help children stay safe. actually, i think the best way to do that is to go u pstrea m best way to do that is to go upstream and work with the perpetrators, to catch them before they have committed their first crime which is what we're trying to do. it must be quite awkward to... to almost say, here we are to help you if you have these negative impulses, and for people to feel co mforta ble impulses, and for people to feel comfortable to come in, knowing how society can and rightly so, and the legal system will treat them? sure.

and what would be great is for society's attitude to change. last week i was contacted by a 14—year—old saying they had thoughts of sexually abusing a child between two and eight, that was her attraction. how can i help her? she has not told anybody else and we have to make it safe enough for people to come forward and ask for help. 72% of the people who are struggling with this new by the time they were 25 they had a problem with their sexual thinking or behaviour so what we're doing is trying to help people early in the process if we can before they start acting out. we work with people who are also committed offences but we want to catch people before they have started acting out. it is very difficult and important work you do.

what evidence do you have that the systems you put in place and the way you try to help people actually works? we would love to get funding for a big third—party independent evaluation and we don't have that at the moment. we're trying to do our own evaluation. the early feedback we are getting is that it is definitely helping and successful. there is a big meta—analyses that was done with more than 10,000 sex offenders and the results, mostly the people who work in groups and our work is one to one, but the results showed that 26.3% did not get re—incarcerated, so there was that 26.3% improvement. and to -- can you give us a sense of the work you do? what is the nature of it?” look at things like what creates their sexual arousal, if it is inappropriate, i look at that emotional management, stress levels and anger management stuff they might have. i look at anti—social thoughts, what they believe about women or people or children that you andi women or people or children that you and i would not believe that makes it acceptable for them to act out. and i'm looking at their lifestyle choices, if they have friends, if

they are lonely or isolated. how do people react to your charity generally? it doesn't even have to be parents but anyone who knows this behaviour is wrong. there are people who hate it and think we are sympathising with perpetrators and it is inappropriate but if you really stop and think about what we're doing and think about, let's stop the first crime. the police are doing a greatjob but when they have caught someone there has been a crime committed so let's go upstream and make it safe enough for people to come forward for help and stop the first crime. berardo 1417 to come forward for help and stop the first crime. berardo1417 new children everyday sexually abused in the uk -- children everyday sexually abused in the uk —— there are 1417. children everyday sexually abused in the uk -- there are 1417. and what is the attitude from the police? simon bailey is our patron, he is the national police lead of child abuse and he completely supports what we're doing. he is doing a great job, what we're doing. he is doing a greatjob, we are doing a greatjob

but we have to work together because we cannot lock them all up. there is not room to put everyone in prison. we have recently expanded our servers to start working with victims and survivors as well because there is not enough of it uk wide service for that so we are offering therapy to survivors as well and we are about to start a big crowdfunding campaign to tries to money —— raise money for because we don't get government funding. thank you forjoining us this morning. it is 90 minutes past eight. —— 19. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. everyone is going to have a bit of bad weather but it's getting better next week again? it is and there will be some sunshine throughout this weekend for everybody. today it is a battle of the seasons with some are in force in the south after a foggy start but further north autumn is in full

throat, 12 degrees the high for many -- full throat, 12 degrees the high for many —— full throw. it is a day of contrasts and there is always something in between, with rain for something in between, with rain for some this morning. this is where it has been, moving away from northern ireland but wet weather in the south—east of scotland and increasingly in northern england through this morning. that rain will fragment and narrow as it moves southwards and eastwards into the north west midlands and parts of wales. south of it there is a lot of fog, causing some delays at london city airport and some roads but it will be sunny to the north of it, chile but some sunshine through much of the day. looking into the afternoon, you can see the temple to contrast being played out with the sunshine and light winds in the south, 25 cloudy in the afternoon. still some splashes of rain in the afternoon, particularly in the southern pennines and lincolnshire and yorkshire. the far north of

england will brighten up and for northern ireland and scotland, some isolated showers but mostly dry and bright after a frosty start. sunny but only 10—12d. there's contrasts remain in place tonight with the weather front in between which will start to get a bit more widespread and darainea start to get a bit more widespread and daraine a bit heavier in the morning stretching from south—west england, wales, the midlands, into the north—east. south of it, a mild start, to the north of it, chile. freezing in rural areas on saturday morning —— chilly. that system is developing into a residential area of low pressure and for those with parched gardens it is good news, some welcome rain and sizeable rain pushing across england and wales but accompanied by some strong winds and feeling pretty cold. it starts dry in east anglia and the south—east, it will finish after a wet start to the north and west. the sun will come out and it should finish on a final note. scotland and northern

ireland, saturday is the day for you. almost a perfect crisp and fresh autumn day with tempered is around ten or 12 degrees. on sunday, sunshine is back for england and wales, this is a better day for the weekend. further north, it is where weekend. further north, it is where we have seen the rain pushing in with some strong winds at times but temperatures on the up. thank you. some news from toyota coming in. some news from toyota coming inm is to do with another recall. we have heard about window switches or airbags but this time it is the power in the system. it is the prius and auris cars. 2.4 million cars globally, in europe that is 280,000 ca rs. globally, in europe that is 280,000 cars. we don't know the uk figure yet. if you are sitting at home thinking you have a prius or auris.

these are hybrids? yes, and the ones made between october 2008 and november 2014. that is a big range. and they are popular cars. recall is happening quite regularly in the car industry. toyota are saying, in rare situations there might be a failure of power. but it is still another issue that a car company has to deal with and now it is a matter of how good the service will be from the toyota garages and how quickly they will be fixed. what do you do if you have one of those cars? the first thing is to get in touch with your toyota dealer or the nearest garage to you and you get in the system really. toyota might get in touch with you some if you have bought a new car straight from them and they have your details, but if not, and thatis have your details, but if not, and that is where these things can get

compensated. i don't want to put you on the spot but it is interesting about the brand damage that something does to a company. it was volkswagen about a year ago that was recalling the passats and when these things happen it is quite difficult to regain trust. it is interesting with the brands, this week we had the ford ecoboost engine coming under scrutiny because there was an issue with overheating and ford said they would pay back the costs for people who had that issue with it. then there are questions about ford, if people hear that brand and ask questions. on the flip side, volkswagen with their emissions scandal, how many bad headlines were there for that? huge fines, and yet, when they put their sales out, the next year, they sold more cars than the year before also. is it not then how they deal with

it? the speed in which they react, the information they provide to consumers and how transparent they are generally? and is there an underlying consumer view of the market on the whole. emissions scandal, people might associate volkswagen with that, but we were talking earlier about car sales are being down 20%, diesel cars being a big part of that because of the way that people feel about emissions. the consequences have a knock—on effect to the way that consumers are treated. whether it is brand specific, people think any more about toyota than the ford recall, thatis about toyota than the ford recall, that is another issue. tim peake is going to be winners in a little while. have you got a question for him? the thing i wondered with astronauts, on the way up and back down, what is the point... what is the point?! i'm writing this down! what is the point in the whole procedure where there is a moment

where you go, get through this and it's all going to be ok? the most physically intense point? nerve—racking, where even tim peake holds his breath and goes... and five seconds later you think we've made it. is it take off? leaving the atmosphere? landing? good question. he will be talking to others about what it takes to become an astronaut. and what does it take to become a giant? you can find out. the puppets are going on show. that is the last time they are visiting the area and we will bring you those. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. we will see some
