summer fog to watch for this morning, also heavy rain in the forecast but for many of us, there will be one fine day this weekend. find out which they will be for you in15 find out which they will be for you in 15 minutes. it's saturday 6th october, our top story — it's been one week since the indonesian island of sulawesi was hit by a devastating earthquake — officials say more than 1,000 people could still be missing beneath the rubble. so far, around 1,500 people are known to have died in the disaster. hundreds of buildings were destroyed after the island was hit by a wall of water. among the despair, there have been glimmers of hope, as our asia correspondent nick beake explains. within this devastated city you find incredible stories of survival. including here, where the injured are still being treated outside because they fear the hospital could collapse. 12—year—old football fan rizki was in an internet cafe in palu watching highlights of his beloved

manchester city where the earthquake struck. "suddenly the earth started to shake," he tells us. "i tried to run, my hand was crushed, but i was able to stick out my other hand. i waved it so people could see it." this is where he was trapped. eventually a neighbour spotted him and dragged him to safety. "i'm no hero," he says. rizki survived with a broken arm and is now reunited with his family. he still hopes to achieve his dream of becoming a footballer, joining his heroes at his favourite team. who is your favourite manchester city player? riyad mahrez. algerian international riyad mahrez became manchester city's record signing when they bought him for £60 million this summer. we thought manchester city may

want to know about their young fan's amazing story of survival thousands of miles away. so we got in touch. and it turns out riyad mahrez wants to send a personal message. now, rizki doesn't know anything about this. hi, rizki. somebody wants to say hello to you. hi, rizki. how are you? i hope you're getting better. i heard that you are a big city fan. so i just want to wish you a good recovery. i hope you get better and we will give you the best wishes from man city. so, what does he make of it? "it's great, i'm so happy." he also said that he'd like to send you a signed shirt as well. "i can't wait to get better and wear it". in the city of sorrow, where they have lost so much... thank you.

..a smile goes a long way. earlier on breakfast we spoke to our asia correspondent, nick beake about how the rescue operation is progressing. is used to be a restaurant, com pletely is used to be a restaurant, completely flattened. some of the chairs stacked up, completely crushed and unfortunately there are still bodies trapped in here. they have not been able to get into dieppe rocket search. you see pieces like this across the city. elsewhere, you can hear the traffic is up and running again. they have electricity back in some areas and people are trying to get some sort of normality here but it is really difficult. the aid is coming in slowly. the pace has increased over the last few days but we're hearing reaching the most exposed and most damaged areas are really difficult. some of the roads were trusted out of recognition so on even

motorbikes, it is difficult to get the last way of the journey to people who were similar still stranded. lots of people here talking about the exact numbers who may have died or the exact number who are missing. really, really difficult to see because the mudslide that was triggered after the salami and earthquake, but wiped out some villages totally submitting a finalfigure on out some villages totally submitting a final figure on this is really difficult. what we can say is that this place has been devastated and recovering from this natural disaster will take weeks, months and yea rs. president trump's controversial supreme court nominee, brett kavanaugh, is almost certain to be appointed later today after weeks of protests and controversy over sexual assault allegations. last night two wavering senators decided to support the nomination, saying the accusations, which judge kavanaugh denies, had not been sufficiently proven. the outcome of his appointment could shape important decisions in the us for decades to come. from washington, our correspondent chris buckler reports. the system is corrupt! for days the senate's corridors of power have been filled with protesters.

each one trying to influence the few senators still wavering over whether to support brett kavanaugh's nomination to the supreme court. he has angrily denied claims that he sexually assaulted christine blasey ford decades ago, when they were both teenagers. after wrestling with her political beliefs and the simple question of who to believe, the republican senator susan collins finally decided she would vote in favour ofjudge kavanaugh. the facts presented do not mean that professor ford was not sexually assaulted that night or at some other time, but they do lead me to conclude that the allegations fail to meet the more likely than not standard. but another republican, lisa murkowski, broke party lines to say she couldn't support him.

stop this, it's not too late! with a final vote nowjust hours away, campaigners have made clear they intend to keep up the pressure on america's politicians. i am so angry, i do not want to leave this place or leave the streets. they're not listening to women and are not listening to survivors. this confirmation process has been nothing short of a bruising and divisive political fight. but all the indications are that president trump is quietly confident that his nominee is now likely to secure a place on america's highest court. the president of the european commission, jean—claude juncker, has suggested there's been fresh momentum in the brexit negotiations over the last few days. 0ur political correspondent tom bartonjoins us now from our london newsroom. tom what has mrjuncker been saying? when we get to this point and say

there is a report thatjean—claude juncker says there is fresh moment, really? significant is this? this is all about the mood music. it seems, at least from the european perspective, that it is starting to get a bit more upbeat. jean—claude younger talking to the australian press this morning, telling them that the potential of a rapprochement between the eu and the uk has increased in recent days. meanwhile, his officials have been talking to member states, giving them an optimistic assessment of the negotiations around the irish border, saying that there is now a better atmosphere in those talks, which are aimed at avoiding the reintroduction of checks between the uk and ireland. however, he could

not see whether or not a deal would be agreed in time for the next meeting of eu leaders injust a couple of weeks' time. that of course is a crunch meeting. if it is not, well, there could be made for a special exit summit in november, which really will be the last chance saloon for a deal to be agreed. number ten telling us this morning that they are continuing to work towards a good deal. police in france are investigating the disappearance of the head of the international police organisation, interpol. meng hung—way hasn't been seen since he travelled from his home in france to visit family in china a week ago. his wife reported him missing soon afterwards. the hong kong newspaper, the south china morning post, has reported that mr meng was taken away for questioning by the chinese authorities when his plane landed. 0ur correspondent ben ando has more. the appointment of meng hongwei two years ago was meant to cement china's place at the heart of international law enforcement. it was seen as a coup for beijing,

strongly criticised by human rights activists. but mr meng is missing. his wife told police colleagues he disappeared after arriving back in china 12 days ago. in a statement interpol said it was a matter for the authorities in france and china, adding it was the secretary general, not the president, who is in charge of running the organisation. reports in china suggest mr meng been taken in for questioning, possibly by officials investigating corruption in china's ruling party. if the chinese government wants you, if the communist party wants you, the political problems he has are so serious that they would pay that price and deal with him in the way

that the top chinese leadership monster. one of china's best—known stars disappeared for three months before being convicted last week of tax evasion. interpol does not have the power to send officers are brought to make arrests. for now there seems little it can do to attract down its own missing president. further rail strikes will bring disruption today as industrial action continues in the long—running row over the role of guards on trains. members of the rmt union on south western railway will continue with a 48—hour walkout, and workers on northern will stage their seventh consecutive saturday stoppage. the spanish opera singer montserrat caballe has died at the age of 85. her career spanned 50 years, and she became a world renowned star in the 1960s, playing in the world's leading opera houses. she was known as the world's "greatest diva". in recent months she suffered from ill health and died overnight in sant pau hospital in barcelona. in 1992 monsterrat achieved further fame for her duet with freddie mercury for the 1992

barcelona 0lympics. in 1992 monsterrat achieved further fame for her duet with freddie mercury for the 1992 barcelona 0lympics. a service is expected to be held for her on monday. iimagine many i imagine many people will be downloading that, just to remember what an amazing force in the world of music she was. brett kavanaugh, president trump's controversial supreme court nominee, is all but certain to be appointed to the role after two

previously undecided senators gave him their backing. the republican susan collins, said she did not believe the sexual misconduct allegations against him, could fairly prevent him serving on the court. earlier we spoke to president ronald reagan's former speech writer, clarkejudge, who is based in washington and has been following the story. it has been such a roller—coaster that who knows? there may be some last—minute surprise. 0ne that who knows? there may be some last—minute surprise. one might be just as —— justice geoghegan who said this evening that there is no swing vote left on the court now once judge brett kavanaugh is confirmed. some interpret that as a warning oran confirmed. some interpret that as a warning or an attempt to move this. i don't think it is, but this has been full of surprises all the way through. there is a powerful source

against him. they probably haven't given up but this looks like a done deal now. does it feel right to you? i think it is very right. he will make an excellent judge, justice, and he has a strong review of the constitution, but he is a very evenhanded manner. he has a lot of experience in the judiciary. he evenhanded manner. he has a lot of experience in thejudiciary. he is an outstanding choice. and ijust had one but to use, but even if you leave aside the notion of the allegation, even if you leave that to one side for a moment, as an outsider looking from the uk, you look at his performance in front of the senate committee, the notion, and he admitted himself, but his temper got the better of him, he said things he shouldn't. some said he does not look like someone who'd be for a lifetime position in a

pivotal position looking judgments about how america will be. do you think he remains as sound a candidate as he was before this process began? very sound. he has been tested in the confirmation as i'io been tested in the confirmation as nojustice has ever been been tested in the confirmation as no justice has ever been tested. been tested in the confirmation as nojustice has ever been tested. the kinds of spirit is a tax on him which are motivated by an attempt to keep him off the court, not for personal reasons, but for reasons of judicial philosophy. those have been unlike anything that has anyjustice going back to the very beginning of the republic, any justice going back to the very beginning of the republic, anyjustice has ever been attacked in this way. he was in the position that is almost a note when position regarding temperament. if he did not respond well, he would be attacked for being called and for

being unfeeling. we heard a little bit of thatjust being unfeeling. we heard a little bit of that just before the express passion and if he did express passion, he which be attacked in the way that you said. basically, this was in some quarters a game that only had one answer, a quiz that only had one answer, a quiz that only had one answer, a quiz that only had one answer which was that justice brett kavanaugh for many people wasjust justice brett kavanaugh for many people was just unacceptable under any circumstance and they would use any circumstance and they would use any interpretation or excuse of his behaviour to say he was unsound. he is highly sound and under extraordinarily intense pressure, he has performed brilliant. the fact remains that all that following the allegations that were made in the senate, many people did believe her

account and we have seen the protests, we have seen the arrests, we have seen the way it has divided opinion in america. does that mean the decisions he is involved in in the decisions he is involved in in the future will necessarily be questioned? i don't think so, not on their merits. there are still people who are going to find discord in any court that is composed or has a majority of strong, constitutionalist on it. an acceptable. this has to do with larger bottles within the american political environment, and the personality and temperament of this judge. whoever fills the position, if he or she is of the political philosophy of what may now be the majority, or soon to be the

majority, or soon to be the majority, they will find that u na cce pta ble majority, they will find that unacceptable and they will find everything the court doors unacceptable. that is where we are in the united states right now, this is way beyond the character or the judgment with the temperament of anyone justice. that was a speech writer for ronald reagan taking us through what has been an extraordinary week in american politics. the weather is next. good morning. we have been talking about all the different types of weather this morning. another one for you, we've had some showers up in scotland and a lovely rainbow to go with it. we really do have this bill -- full go with it. we really do have this bill —— full spectrum across the uk. we have showers in the north, folk to the south of this rain band and within the ring—bound, quite persistent, heavy rain. there are also seeing the winds escalate so we

have those potentially gale winds around the coast pushing this rain but ourselves. 0nce around the coast pushing this rain but ourselves. once the forklifts, it will be placed by heavy rain. further north, this fine weather around. it's cold and we have a frost around across the lens of scotla nd frost around across the lens of scotland but it is beautifully sunny. we have seen showers coming in across the north and west. that will continue. the rain does clear from northern england, from wales quite quickly this afternoon, dragging its heels across the midlands but by this afternoon, stuck with us in eastern parts of england. with the wind as well, temperatures 10 degrees down on yesterday, it will feel much colder. even with the sunshine it was recalled because we are in this band of chilly air. behind this weather front we have the colder air to come. a header that we have that my dear but also the rain and the wind which will take time to clear away. under that bridge of high overnight,

it means it will be clear for many, clear and cold. if any widespread ground frost imro areas. have snubbed the north—west and that is because come tomorrow, we are reversing the weather, if you like. the rain and wind further south today, the rain and wind coming back into the north scotland and northern ireland tomorrow whilst for england and wales, the end on a bright note, but the much fog, but a chilly note and then getting up to 1a to 16 celsius. that will recover quite nicely and it will feel pleasant and lighter winds. we keep the high pressure in southern areas right into tuesday with these weather fronts being kept at bay further north at unfortunately for northern ireland and scotland, the same areas will catch a day after day of rain. that means 150 millimetres of rain could fall in the highlands of scotland. it is warm rain at least whilst further south were getting into the high teens once again,

softening quite pleasant but italy in the sunshine but at night of course, the longer nights mean frost and potentially some fog as well. most people will get a little bit of everything. you enjoy running, don't you? but this weekend because i'm working. you're watching breakfast from bbc news,. time now for a look at the newspapers. phil hall, former editor of the news of the world, is here to tell us what's caught their eye. you've picked out a story that is absolutely fascinating around russian spies. we have had this in size because of the dutch authorities released to us. this is another development? yes, the giro you literary musician was accused of

making the largest intelligence blunder in russian history. these operatives were identified during the week as being spies and what has happened is, it looks like it is a website, is not clearfrom here, but it looks like the website had leaked a russian car ownership database. they looked at these four dies and they found one of them was registered back to the spy base, the barracks which is where all the espionage goes. he had registered his cars to a barracks. they cross— referenced his cars to a barracks. they cross—referenced it and found there we re cross—referenced it and found there were 300 others using that same address in their cars so they have effectively identified 300 spies. now, either blood were but in's operation is something likejohnny english or else they are saying, we just don't care. it is fascinating. so interesting talking about it this

week and debating whether or not this has been a case of incompetency or blatant call by russia. it is not movies, in real enigma six. do your member we spoke to that lovely young man who sang with his dad in the car, his dad has dementia. you know what i'm talking about. it took him back to some old songs he used to sing, just to get his memory back and to make him feel engaged again. this is what this story reminds me of. my mother passed away recently and she had dementia. 0ne of. my mother passed away recently and she had dementia. one of the challenges was that she could remember everything from 60 years ago but not what happened five minutes ago. that was quite distressing for us as well as her. but this gentleman has done, this quy but this gentleman has done, this guy over the years, he collected old things. 0ld guy over the years, he collected old things. old newspapers, also the nearest from the past but he is in the care home business and he thought, rather than confuse some of

his residence, what he would do is, set upa his residence, what he would do is, set up a home reflecting the past of when they were brought up. at his home there is an old barbers shop, and old greengrocers, there's a post office, all from 40, 50, and old greengrocers, there's a post office, all from 40,50, 60 and old greengrocers, there's a post office, all from 40, 50, 60 years ago. it is not a direct imitation, it is hoping that period. just making the residents feel co mforta ble making the residents feel comfortable rather than confusing. it is confusing living in 2018 when actually, your mind is else. it's a lovely idea. social media and impact and this is a story from norman lamb who is a former minister and a much respected man for his passion in mental health. no more passionate minister than him. mental health. no more passionate ministerthan him. i mental health. no more passionate minister than him. i think it is brave of him. he had a stroke and he is saying that it was partly brought on by his obsession by social media. this is an issue we all are very

aware of. he said the first thing he would do every morning was weaker, turning up the phone. he would lie in bed at night looking at social media. and know we are advising people in the public eye, you have to say to them, just try and ignore social media. you must get people on twitter and it is very difficult to ignore when it is so personal. you have to try to ignore it. literally interesting because it don't come when you're involved in social media, you don't spend a lot of time on it, do you? is an excellent way of staying in touch with what's going on in the world but u nfortu nately going on in the world but unfortunately when you're in a job thatis unfortunately when you're in a job that is exposed, you can be targeted. you have to develop a thick skin and go, you're an idiot and i'm not dealing with you. but social media. it gives a noisy

minority voice that they don't deserve and that is voice that is under construct it and crazy and it is very difficult to ignore. when you're dealing with high—profile people, do you sometimes advise people, do you sometimes advise people to stay away?|j people, do you sometimes advise people to stay away? i try to but they don't, they cannot. particularly people in the sporting arena so they want to know what the supporters are saying. they got to be in touch with the supporters but then the abuse can be so terrible, it is very difficult. sponsors expect a presence on social media, thatis expect a presence on social media, that is another pressure? this week when we talk about in the news about juventus supporting rinaldo, is that right? i think social media put such pressure on them, they really have to react when they should be saying, let's wait and see how this inquiry goes. people want to talk about stuff and it is a great way of being in touch. it is a double edged sword. such a joy having you here this morning, thank you. we're on bbc one until 10am, when matt tebbutt takes over in the saturday kitchen.

hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. it's been one week since the indonesian island of sulawesi was hit by a devastating earthquake. officials say more than 1,000 people could still be missing beneath the rubble. so far, around 1,500 people are known to have died in the disaster. hundreds of buildings were destroyed after the island was hit by a wall of water. search and rescue efforts have been extended into next week. president trump's controversial supreme court nominee, brett kavanaugh, is almost certain to be appointed later today after weeks of protests and controversy over sexual assault allegations. last night, two wavering senators decided to support the nomination, saying the accusations, which judge kavanaugh denies, had not been sufficiently proven. the outcome of his appointment could shape important decisions in the us for decades to come. the president of the european commission, jean—claude juncker, has suggested there's been fresh momentum in the brexit negotiations over the last few days. it's the latest sign that the two sides are making progress.

mrjuncker said the eu remains determined to reach a deal with the uk, but couldn't say whether an agreement would be finalised before the next meeting of european leaders on 17th of october. police in france are investigating the disappearance of the head of the international police organisation, interpol. meng hongwei hasn't been seen since he travelled from his home in france to visit family in china a week ago. this morning there are reports that he was taken away for questioning by the chinese authorities when his plane landed. the spanish opera singer montserrat caballe has died at the age of 85. her career spanned 50 years, and she became a world renowned star in the 1960s, playing in the world's leading opera houses. she was known as the world's "greatest diva". in recent months she suffered from ill health and died overnight in hospital. she was extremely well known in spain, but here in the uk, there's one song, recorded with freddie mercury for the barcelona 0lympics for which she will best be remembered. # barcelona.

# it was the first time that we met. # barcelona. # how can i forget? they recorded this, as a duet, in 1987, five years before the games. but freddie mercury died in 1991, so monserrat caballe sang barcelona at the opening ceremony with jose carreras and placido domingo. a funeral service is expected to be held for her on monday. those are the main stories this morning. it is so staring, hearing that music. the barcelona 0lympics, those three singers. it was a remarkable time, those memories stay with us for ever. we're talking a lot aboutjose mourinho today. there is a crucial

game at home tonight to newcastle united, and then there is the international break. if you believe the mirror, the end is nigh. they say his reign is over after the clash today. this has led to aaron neville being very angry on sky sports saying it was disgraceful the way the board is behaving. the bbc has been doing its own investigating. we have heard the opposite, that he is staying. we talk about sacking all the time, and because jose we talk about sacking all the time, and becausejose mourinho is so high profile, there is a lot of interest in him, but it has revealed just how badly the board is behaving, in terms of pr, or treating this whole circus. yes, this shroud of mystery and it is not helpful to anybody, this speculation. you can only

imagine the pressure that he is under, though he is used to it, jose mourinho, but it must be uncomfortable as a human being, to put up with it. yes, if you put it into everyday life, you are at work, you hear if your bosses are squabbling as to whether or not you should be there, and then it to people outside of your organisation, and everybody knows except for you. 0ur bbc reporter has heard that an imminent departure is not the case. despite overnight stories saying that jose despite overnight stories saying thatjose mourinho would be sacked this weekend regardless of the outcome of the game, that is actually not the case, the club's board retain confidence that jose mourinho can turn this situation around. manchester united have gone four games without a win, they have not gone five without a win since 1996, and only once since 1998. so, manchester united, they are

desperate to turn this situation around. jose mourinho is searching for solutions to this situation, but the fact is at the moment that manchester united remain confident that he can do that. let's get some action. glenn murray was on target last night. his fifth goal of the season, was enough to burst west ham's recent bubble and it moves brighton up to 12th in the table. well, in the day's 3pm matches, tottenham host struggling cardiff city at wembley, bournemouth look to keep up their flying start to the season at watford, while leicester take on everton. in scotland, aberdeen against st mirren and hibs versus hamilton are among the pick of the fixtures today. celtic are in action tomorrow while rangers take on leaders hearts also tomorrow. a huge game for women's england players. that is at 12:30pm. make

sure you are not late, that is kick—off for england against rozelle. —— brazil. now, onto formula one, and, if you don't want to know what happened in qualifying for the japanese grand prix, divert your attention for the next 30 seconds or so. lewis hamilton will start on pole position, with main rival sebastian vettel down in ninth. his team sent out at the wrong time. formula 1 is a team game. right now, mercedes are the masters. in tredegar additions in japan, they add lewis hamilton timed qualifying to protection, while sebastian vettel was left treading water. the warning signs and spends with their early on for the ferrari driver, although his blushes were nothing

compared to marcus ericsson, as he trudged back to the pit, daniel riccardo needed a helping hand after yet more technical gremlins. he will start well down the field. with rain in the suzuka air, mercedes said lewis hamilton atjust the right time. one shop to get it right, and for the 80th time in his career, lewis hamilton was in a class of one at the front, followed by his team—mate. sebastian vettel slipped and slid his way to a lonely ninth position on what could well be another season defining day if it keeps going hamilton's way. on bikes, mark will start on pole position after qualifying biggest. and the first briton could win the world speedway title. wigan will play warrington in super league's grand final next weekend. wigan secured their place at old trafford, with a comfortable 14—0 win, over last season's runners up castleford. sam tomkins ran in a try and the final drop goal on his final home match for the club.

he moves to catalan dragons, at the end of the season. it's also wigan head coach, shaun wane's, final season in charge, he's also leaving to join scotland rugby union, as a coach. exeter are top of rugby union's premiership, continuing their perfect start to the season with a victory over bath. a much—changed bath side, pushed exeter hard at the rec, but the chiefs surged ahead in the final quarter, scoring 5 tries in all, this one from stu townsend which started the fightback. they've waited over half a century, but connacht have finally won in belfast, shocking ulster at the kingspan 22—15. it didn't help ulster, that they had a player sent off. elsewhere, there were wins for edinburgh and glasgow. the next generation of britain's sporting superstars could be discovered this week at the youth olympic games. 43 athletes aged between 15 and 18 will represent team gb in buenos aires, hoping to follow in the footsteps of previous champions like diver tom daley.

taekwondo's lutalo mohammed, won a silver medal in rio and is now in argentina to tell us who to watch out for. representing great britain at an 0lympics representing great britain at an olympics is hard to describe. it is the pinnacle. it is something i dreamt about since i was a child a winning medals at london 2012 and we had 2016 up to of my proudest moments. here in argentina, 43 team gb athletes will begin their own 0lympic tennis journeys, with a squad of talent competing across 17 of 32 sports. and, alongside more traditional 0lympic disciplines, this youth 0lympic traditional 0lympic disciplines, this youth olympic games is all about ushering in the new. the youth olympic games can serve as a kind of

laboratory, and we are using this, as we do for instance with the world games, where we can see how a sport or discipline can contribute to a multisport event, whether this sport fits into a multisport event and which way. so, over the next 12 days, you will see events such as sports climbing, three on three basketball, and karate, ahead of their debut in tokyo in 2020. you will also see break dancing, roller speed skating, amongst others. on the eve of the competition, it is now the time for the all—important announcement of who will carry the british flag at the british ceremony. give a round of applause for ross, the bmx cyclist. it is an honour to be out here in buenos aires, representing team gb, never mind leading them in the opening

ceremony. this is a big stepping stone for myself, to get where i wa nt stone for myself, to get where i want to be in future. we want the athletes to perform at their very best, just achieving personal bests as well. the second half of that is that we want them just to learn from the experience, that this is a great development opportunity for them. we wa nt development opportunity for them. we want them to be striving for paris 2024, so giving them the experience of being an olympian, having these rings on their chest, it is really important. who are the hot prospect to look out for? we have got a wealth of talent. several world champions. caroline from boxing, i love from windsurfing, ross allen flag bearing has been a double junior world champion. and also in tae kwon do. there are so many to name, and sure they will all do their best and bring home medals. joining us now is boxer peter mcgrail, who won bronze in the 2014 youth olympic games and earlier this year won gold at the commonwealth games.

i remember chatting to you on the beach of the gold coast, great memories. take us back to 2014, that medal at the youth olympics. what did it do for you and your career? the youth olympic games was out in china, a bit of a the youth olympic games was out in china, a bit ofa mad the youth olympic games was out in china, a bit of a mad place to go, but it is a big platform for all the young athletes that are looking to push onto such things as the commonwealth games, the senior olympic games. it gets you used to the environment, they go to when azeris in argentina, and athletes village. it will notjust be their sport, there will be around 32 other sports. you have got all the athletes from all the different countries, and the athletes in your team, it is interesting for them,

they get to find out about all the other sports training regimes are like. just meeting all the other athletes, they all want to be on that podium, they are all looking for that same goal. i would imagine your sport, boxing, is for that same goal. i would imagine yoursport, boxing, is an unforgiving environment. the most brutal of sports in a way, you have two wise up young, don't you? yes. is it helpful in that respect, you are learning fast about what you have to do, and how you compared with other people? yes, at the youth in the —— olympics they are 17 or 18, taken away from home living in the athletes village, where you have got to be disciplined, sure your weight is unchecked there is pressure on you because you want to perform at your best. you want to do

yourfamily proud, perform at your best. you want to do your family proud, you perform at your best. you want to do yourfamily proud, you want perform at your best. you want to do your family proud, you want to perform at your best. you want to do yourfamily proud, you want to do the country proud. how has the image of boxing changed, and don't take this personally, but you are quite slight, you are very slim. if you came up to me in the street and said, guess what i do in sport question i would say swimming or running, gymnastics. it has changed, hasn't it, the image of what you need to be in order to enter the world of boxing? yes, people think boxers are just... beefca ke? world of boxing? yes, people think boxers arejust... beefcake? yes, but everyone i box with on team gb, we all eat well, we eat clean, we train hard every day, we live a healthy lifestyle. you have got to stay disciplined. what is interesting also is temperament, it is not necessarily an angry sport. yes, it depends what kind of fight you are in. you could be in a fight

where you need to get angry, you need to put it on your opponent, or it could be a fight where you have got to stick to your game plan and stay nice and calm, don't get angry because you could get angry and fly at your opponent, and they could dust box your head off and make you look silly. it depends who you are fighting. nicola adams is fighting tonight in leicester, what would your thoughts be on that tonight?” am rooting for nicola. when i first got onto the team gb squad, she was training towards the 2016, she was already olympic champion from london, so i am right behind nicola, iam london, so i am right behind nicola, i am pretty sure she can beat her mexican opponent. is that tonight? yes. lovely to see you here this morning. thank you very much. rainy for some, cloudy for some, funny for some. there you go, helen,

job done! if you are walking in the mountains today, this is how it looks in the north of scotland. a blustery day, not a great one for the hills. but it is an all sorts they, weather—wise because we have showers, rainbows, thunder and lightning, rain and strengthening winds. to the south of that, we have got fog and frost, so yes, all sorts of weather today. but for some, a good day, and for others not such a great day. if you have got outside events, it will be looming. my children's netball has already been cancelled because of the rain in the south—east. cold, windy and wet. further north, despite the cold start it will be a lovely day. temperatures will reach average for october, but still some heavy showers further north. showers

clearing away over wales and northern england, but it carries on raining in eastern areas through to this evening. feeling cold, around 13 celsius. cold further north, but they have the sunshine to compensate. wind gusting 30—40 mph in the channel islands. overnight, a ridge of high pressure moves in, so it does mean it will turn cold across—the—board it does mean it will turn cold across—the—boa rd tonight, except it does mean it will turn cold across—the—board tonight, except the far north—west of scotland where it will be cardiff. a touch of grass frost for many of us tomorrow morning. if you have the rain and wind today, it looks much brighter and ride tomorrow, but for scotland and ride tomorrow, but for scotland and northern ireland, today is the day for getting out and about. further north tomorrow, we have got cloud and rain piling in. warm rain

ona cloud and rain piling in. warm rain on a south—westerly wind coming in off the atlantic. that is not to say we won't exclaim a frost at night. we have still got clear skies, but the weather front says without through sunday and into monday and tuesday, so some parts of northern ireland and scotland will see a lot of rain. some good news because we need rain for the gardens, but up to 150 millimetres is falling over the hills, never good news for the river catchment. further south, hills, never good news for the river catchment. furthersouth, morning frost and fob, but image is not bad for october. this week marks 50 years since a civil rights march in the city of londonderry, which is widely regarded as the beginning of the 30—year conflict in northern ireland. the fallout led to the deaths of more than 3,500 people, before the good friday agreement

brought an end to the troubles in 1998. now in a new book, journalists recount their experiences reporting on the violence. we're joined now by denis murray, former bbc ireland correspondent and former editorfor the press association in ireland, deric henderson. good morning to you both. derek, you brought this book together with your colleague. the idea is, you have gone to a lot ofjournalists and asked for a take, a moment in time, something that has sat with them for a long time. through that, we get a vision of what happened. was that the notion? yes, more or less. this was an idea that we had in our heads for years, orfor some was an idea that we had in our heads foryears, orforsome time. it was an idea that we had in our heads for years, orfor some time. it was something we wanted to do. we thought this was an appropriate time. yesterday marked the 50th anniversary of the troubles. the clash between demonstrators and the police in derry, in 1968. we were

fortu nate police in derry, in 1968. we were fortunate enough to have one of the reporters who was there that day, andi reporters who was there that day, and i called martin, was the first one i asked. i said we were thinking of doing this book, would he contribute? when he said yes, that basically started the whole process. what is amazing in this book is that it is not necessarily the stories that you think you will hear. dennis, you will be able to explain this, when you have spent time in a place like that, absorbing the culture, what it means to the people around you, it is not the norm is that you report on necessary as having touched your heart, it is the kindness of people.” having touched your heart, it is the kindness of people. i think the theme running through the book it is all of us at some point had to interview a grieving relative. i remembera interview a grieving relative. i remember a colleague of mine once saying the worst thing about his job asa saying the worst thing about his job as a reporter in northern ireland was what he called that long walk to the relative's door. it had an

effect on all of us. the book is a great idea, i suspect this is of —— true of reporters everywhere, but in northern ireland, everyone had at least one story that really got to them. you could not get it —— let it get to you every day, as a reporter you have signed up to this, you have got to tell the story, but the theme in the book is the impact that had on the reporters. here are the small stories that people have not heard of, and! stories that people have not heard of, and i think that is important. there are a lot of people who write a personal story about a moment in time, and there is almost always a philosophical thought at the end, what was it all for? long term, what has been the impact on you? well, it wears you down in the end. there is a lovely piece byjohn irvine of itv news, and he said there were three

times in his career where he cried, and he just could not stop himself from crying. two of them were abroad, and this is a useful piece because it gets you know there are other things happening elsewhere, and sometimes it was worse than in northern ireland. the one that got me the most was the omagh bombing. i got home on the wednesday or thursday of that week, the bombing was on the saturday, i spoke to my wife about it when i got home and i burst into tears. that was, i suspect, because our defences were down. the good friday agreement had occurred earlier that year, we thought it was over. and then the worst of all time came along. my piece is not about that, it is about a formative event that happened when i worked for the belfast telegraph in the 1970s. if you see most of the people my age right about events in the 70s. i am from omagh, and of

history that was a very low point in my journalistic career, history that was a very low point in myjournalistic career, but the worst for me was four years earlier, a small village between belfast and newcastle in 1994, the world cup was on, the republic of ireland were playing italy, there were people in the bar watching it on tv, and six of them were shot dead. i remember the following day, arriving at the door of a lady whose father was killed, and she was clearly very distressed. she was wearing a black dress, office he recovered from the bottom drawer for a dress, office he recovered from the bottom drawerfor a period of mourning, and her grief came at such a difficult time. shejust looked at me and said, i am sorry, i do want to talk about this. i'm sorry. she just apologise. i always remember walking down that path, and vowing that i would never knock on another

door again. the interesting thing as well, many of the people who speak, was that they were determined that a story was told, and that people were remembered as well. yes, there was no doubt about that. that is what this book was about. it is giving the journalists an opportunity to look back and reflect on the times during the worst of the violence. look back and reflect on the times during the worst of the violencem is so sobering hearing your stories, and how it personally affected you. there is a comment from one correspondent, in amongst all of these things, there are people who are celebrated and he talks about a surgeon working at the time, and would one moment be working on a victim, another moment working on someone who may have planted the bomb. extraordinary moments, and people are celebrating that surgeon. i realised something that was important, i thought i can't do anything to help, you have got endurance in front of you, policeman in front of you, they are all doing

something, but all we could do was tell people stories. that is really important. the one thing that really comes out of the book, the reporting of the troubles was not about bombs, bullets and explosions, it was about people, and that is whatjournalism is always about, people. it is an extra three book and well worth reading. thank you forjoining us. it is called reporting the troubles. they may not have known it at the time, but when 13 amateur runners gathered in a south london park 14 years ago, they were about to start a running revolution. the gathering developed into park run, a free, timed five kilometre run that takes place in hundreds of parks across the world every weekend. the event has just signed up its five millionth member and our reporter marc ashdown is in hampton where it all began. are you tempted to take part this morning? yes, it is quite chilly here. most

of them have finished now, this is the finish line. it is the 14th anniversary of this. all the runners have finished and are getting that tokens, and going for a cup of tea. iam tokens, and going for a cup of tea. i am delighted, we arejoined by the family of the year, the park run family of the year, the park run family of the year, the park run family of the year, this is about coming out as a family. you have been doing it for quite a while. was ita been doing it for quite a while. was it a surprise to get family of the year? yes, really chuffed. andrew andl year? yes, really chuffed. andrew and i have been coming here for nine years, and as we have had the children, they have started running as soon as they have been big enough to get around the course. so you all go around together? sometimes, but this one is quite speedy, so sometimes they go fast together, she and daddy, but it depends how they feel on the day. there are not many spores you can do as a family. is that the whole appeal? -- sports.

yes, that is definitely the appeal. it is really nice to come down here every week. do you guys enjoy it? yes. not too cold? no. what does park runfamily yes. not too cold? no. what does park run family of the year mean to you? it was a massive surprise, we come down here most weeks, we have got a lot of friends here, so it is really nice that they have given it to us, really. thank you forjoining us. there are 5 million people now taking part in park run all over the uk. it gives —— keeps you healthy and happy. find a green space, there will be one happening near you. thank you, it has been lovely seeing people getting ready for that. it almost makes me want to do it. whatever you are doing this weekend, do enjoy it. ben and rachel will be here tomorrow from six. until then, enjoy your weekend.
