6:02 am
a reaction from russia about these latest developments? good morning. this story broke yesterday evening so this story broke yesterday evening so there has not been response from the embassy here or from the russian government. it is likely to be highly embarrassing for the kremlin. so much information about two of its secret agent is now in the public domain. one mp who sits on the foreign office select committee said it was an appalling —— that it was appalling that a doctor should be sent to administer the full poisoning to one target only to end up poisoning to one target only to end up killing another target by accident. the men suspected of poisoning the skripals were caught on camera as they headed through salisbury. the investigative website bellingcat says it can reveal the identity of the man on the right. they say he is alexander petrov —— alexander mishkin and military doctor working
6:03 am
for russian military intelligence the gru. they published these are three pictures of him and claimed to have spoken to many people who know him. they say until 2014 he was giving gru headquarters as his home address in moscow. this is his passport in his real name. in his fa ke passport in his real name. in his fake id he used the same first name and date of birth. this is doctor mishkin on the right in an interview with russian state tv where the two men claimed they were just tourists. sergei skripal and his daughter yulia both spent months in hospital and comas before eventually recovering but dawn sturgess died after being exposed to the nerve agent not a drop mac. she accidentally handled a fake perfume bottle that contained the poisoning —— —— nivichok. donald trump has hosted a ceremony at the white house after the swearing—in of brett kavanaugh as a justice of the us supreme court. he had been accused of sexual assault and the us president
6:04 am
apologised to him, saying he'd endured terrible pain and suffering. here's peter bowes. after weeks of political rancour, a ceremony swearing in ceremony forjustice kavanagh. greeted by an extended standing ovation from supporters, the new member of the us supreme court took the oath of office with his wife and daughters by his side. less than two weeks he angrily denied a charge that sexually assaulted christine blasey ford when they were both teenagers. president trump said mr kavanaugh was owed an apology. on behalf of our nation, i want to apologise to brett and the entire kavanaugh family for the terrible pain and suffering you have been forced to endure. justice kava naugh thanked the president for what he called his steadfast, unwavering support throughout the process. i'm grateful to you and mrs trump
6:05 am
for the exceptional, overwhelming courtesy you have extended to my family and me. mr president, thank you for everything. applause mr kavanaugh also adopted a tone of reconciliation. the senate confirmation process was contentious and emotional. that process is over. my focus now is to be the bestjustice i can be. this chapter in the extremely acrimonious appointment of a supreme courtjudge may be closing, but with the us mid—term elections just four weeks away, the politicalfallout could be critical to the future of donald trump's presidency. peter bowes, bbc news. the first minister, nicola sturgeon, will deliver her key speech to the scottish national party conference today. she is expected to renew calls for independence. let's get more detail from our political correspondent, nick eardley who is in glasgow for us this morning.
6:06 am
we were speaking to her here on bbc brea kfast, we were speaking to her here on bbc breakfast, the timing on any new vote on that is not clear, is it? no, i don't think it will be clearer today, because much of this conference and much of what nicola sturgeon will talk about today will be focused on brexit, and quite a scathing attack on the way the government in westminster is pursuing that, try to contrast that with what nicola sturgeon thinks is a more optimistic vision coming from her government in edinburgh. on brexit she will say ministers in london are stumbling from disaster to disaster, saying that it is often quite hard to watch from up here in scotland. now, it wouldn't be an snp conference without mention of independence. the timing of that is not going to become any clearer today. miss nicola sturgeon will make the argument again i expect that the only way to achieve what she thinks scotland can really do,
6:07 am
things like diversity and becoming a beacon of hope, can only come through full independence. her political opponents here of course say that she needs to use every opportunity she gets to rule out another referendum and give more stability. thank you very much indeed, thank you. prison officers in england and wales are to be issued with canisters of a synthetic pepper spray to help deal with violence and disorder. the announcement came as the president of the prison governors association, andrea albutt, accused the government of failing to react in a timely manner to the crisis in jails. our home affairs correspondent danny shaw reports. it's been used by police for years, and our present officers will be carrying one too. pava is the latest bit of equipment to help staff deal with violence behind bars. and this is how the pepper like spray works. stop what you are doing! we were given a demonstration at hull prison, one of four jails where it is being trialled. the chemical causes ie
6:08 am
irritation and coughing, giving staff time to get the prisoner under control. ministers say the spray acts as a deterrent and could even save lives. if a prisoner were in a horrible situation, to be stamping on another prisoner's head, for example, that might be a situation where, instead of reaching for backup, you may well want to say stop doing that, i have some pepper spray. prison officers in all adult male prisons will now be equipped with pava at a cost of £2 million. but some say the relationship between prisoners and staff is the key to good order, and that needs far greater investment. is ok having pava, having body worn cameras, we have lots of things in place, but we need more people in our prisons to build those relationships to make our prisoners safe. pava will be widely available from next year, but it will be assessed before a decision is made before allowing staff to use it
6:09 am
in women's prisons and youth custody centres. elon musk‘s spacex company has successfully launched a satellite into space, wowing social media users in the process. lighting up the skies above california, the falcon 9 rocket went into orbit and returned eight minutes later to an air base north—west of los angeles. the satellite will be used to track natural disasters, crop yields and soil—moisture levels from 385 miles above the earth. that looks... seems impressive, doesn't it? yes, all of that in eight minutes. not bad. sally's here with the sport. where are we going? mr hazard, where is he often, then? good question, possibly spain. when you see footballers talking about their career they very often don't say much, they are careful about what they say and he has been genuine and
6:10 am
he has said actually i love where i am but real madrid is dream. is there a chance he might sign a deal at chelsea or perhaps fulfil his childhood dream of joining at chelsea or perhaps fulfil his childhood dream ofjoining real madrid? he admits he keeps changing his mind about what he wants to do. he's one of the players nominated for the ballon d'or award. what a great position to be in. there'll be a women's prize awarded for the first time this year, and the england duo lucy bronze and fran kirby are among the 15 nominees. the ceremony is in paris on december 3. manchester united manager jose mourinho is under investigation by the fa after allegedly making offensive remarks to a tv camera following saturday's win against newcastle. and england's leading wicket—taker james anderson says he has no plans to retire just yet. he's fourth on in the world standings, but he says as long as he's still enjoying his cricket, he'll keep playing. i think the thing withjimmy anderson is because he puts in such
6:11 am

6:12 am
it isa morning if you are just stepping out it is a milder start than it was yesterday. having said that, if you are waiting for a bus or a train it is still quite chilly. now the forecast for today is one of rain, particularly across scotland, northern ireland and at times of northern england, the heaviest of which will be in the north—west and is also going to be windy, anywhere north of but for most of england and wales it will be dry after a cloudy start with some warm sunshine developing. you can see quite nicely on the pressure chart where we have the weather front, it is moving north and south, which is why at times today we won't just the north and south, which is why at times today we won'tjust the rain across scotland and northern ireland, we will also see it getting towards cumbria and northumberland by the rain in eastern scotland won't be as heavy. whereas for the rest of england and wales after a cloudy start, the collaborating and some sunshine coming through and just breezy conditions, not as windy at the north. temperatures ranging from about ten or 11 in the far
6:13 am
north of scotland to the highs of 20 pushing down towards the south—east. now as we head on through the evening and overnight there is a su btle evening and overnight there is a subtle change in the wind direction and the wind will tend to drop so that it moves to a southerly. that will mean that it will push the weather front further north up into north—west scotland. tonight too variable cloud with some breaks, mist and fog patches forming across east anglia and the south—east but they will clear quite readily tomorrow. so talking of tomorrow, the rain for north—west scotland will move away quite early on in the day. then we are looking at a dry day, the cloud braking and some sunshine coming through. we might see some coastal cloud at times on the east coast of scotland and england but it will be a warm day and breezy as well, a noticeable breeze, but look at the temperatures, widely in the high teens or 20s to their mid—20s. now late in the day tomorrow and weather front into the south—west could produce some showers which on thursday will be moving northwards from southern england and he too they could be heavy and thundery. we have weather front and from the west
6:14 am
producing some rain and a noticeable wind as well. in the east where it is dry our temperatures on the mild side but it will feel cooler of course if you are caught the rain and the wind. —— dryer temperatures. talking of wind, towards the end of the week on friday, some will have gales, some could have severe gales and also heavy rain in the forecast, but i'll tell you more about that as we go through the morning, lou and dan. thank you very much, i am very glad they have turned on the lights for you because it looks really beautiful. it looks gorgeous, the palace, doesn't it? you are watching breakfast from bbc news. the headlines: the second suspect in the salisbury nerve agent poisoning has been identified as a doctor in russia's military intelligence. pepper spray is to be issued to prison officers in england and wales, to help deal with violence and disorder. let's take a look at today's papers. the times focuses on the naming of the second suspect in the salisbury poisoning.
6:15 am
the picture is of a man named by the bellingcat investigative website as alexander mishkin, a military doctor working for russian intelligence. the guardian also has a picture of dr mishkin on its front page. the lead story says the metropolitan police's use of force has risen sharply in the past year, with black people more likely to be affected than anyone else. the daily mail claims that pret a manger‘s "fresh" baguettes are made in a french factory, and can be kept in freezers for up to a year before being used. the picture is of 42—year—old celia marsh, a mother—of—five, and the second customer who died following an allergic reaction to one of its products. the paper also covers that kiss between strictly comedian seann walsh and his married dance partner katya jones. in a twitter post, seann walsh's girlfriend, rebecca humphries, says seann called me a psycho for suspecting he was cheating. the same story dominates the front of the daily mirror,
6:16 am
which carries the headline "you are cha—cha chucked". the paper says the comedian has been dumped by his girlfriend, who has insisted on social media, "i am not a victim". that tweet is the reason strictly is one of the most shared stories online today. the post says: let us know what you think about that tweet, the messages in that tweet as well. the bbc has approached seann walsh for comment, but he has so far not responded. we will be speaking more on this at 8:20am. there is something else to talk about, we had jodie whitaker on last week and doctor who has done very well. 9 million viewers, the best
6:17 am
premierfor well. 9 million viewers, the best premier for they well. 9 million viewers, the best premierfor they do for a well. 9 million viewers, the best premier for they do for a doctor since david tenna nt. premier for they do for a doctor since david tennant. if you haven't seen this video, i don't want to ruin the surprise, but this is what bradley walsh put on his social media accounts. rack it up, joey! # i never really cared until i met you... rack it up, joey! # i never really cared untili met you... that is rack it up, joey! # i never really cared until i met you... that is the entire doctor who cast in the back of the car, singing along to the
6:18 am
heart classic from 1987. what is nice about that is we have seen them in the new doctor who, and they clearly get on. she did say, because she doesn't call them companions any more, she calls them friends, and she says we had the best laugh filming doctor who. shall we do one? carol kirkwood might have done one of those, it is somewhere online.|j will be involved if it is for private viewing. as long as we don't have two actually sing. i know louise wants to talk about only fools and horses. wayne rooney
6:19 am
living in america and playing his soccer over there. in his last few yea rs of soccer over there. in his last few years of living in england he could only make it to old trafford once because of the hassle. everywhere he went he was mobbed, and he says he can walk around with his kids, spend time with his family and life is much better. even trump's sun, baron trump, now likes wayne rooney. unlike lots of players who have gone to the states, he travels in economy when they fly, that is a thing he has decided to do —— barron trump. embracing the lifestyle and scoring plenty of goals. i want to talk about only fools and horses, because i know you are a fan. stick a pony in my pocket i will bring a suitcase from the van. the reason i was
6:20 am
talking about it is because it is going to go to the west end, there will be a musical version. a p pa re ntly will be a musical version. apparently 20 heartwarming and hilarious songs, starting on february the night. seabreeze, david bowie lps. the really unfortunate thing is they have already chosen the actors. i can sing along, anyway. thank you for a joining us, sally. sally willjoin us for a full round—up of all the day's sport. there are calls for more to be done to reduce the number of suicides amongst inpatients at mental health hospitals. more than a 100 people in the uk take their own lives every year, while they receive treatment in the very places that are meant to keep them safe. breakfast‘s graham satchell has been to meet two families devastated by suicide. we will always have a huge hole in
6:21 am
oui’ we will always have a huge hole in our heart where zoe lived. we like to think that maybe she is still there. zoe what is was a brilliant athlete, part of the gb trampolining squad —— zoe watts. she started having mental health problems when she was 14, and after a series of attempted suicides was admitted to a secure mental health unit. did you think, when she was an institution, that was safe? yes. yes. yeah. that's the only reason she was there. zoe's room hasn't been touched since she took her own life last year. she died in hospital the day before she was due to be discharged. at the inquest, her pa rents discharged. at the inquest, her parents discovered there had been significant failings in her care.
6:22 am
it's very hard for us to live with that, knowing now that zoe's life could have been preserved, if things had have been done the way they should have been done. she wasn't safe. that's hard. figures out ‘today‘ show the number of inpatients who have taken their own lives in the uk has fallen from 166 in 2006 to 106 in 2016. but the numbers have plateaued, and experts say more needs to be done. numbers have plateaued, and experts say more needs to be donelj numbers have plateaued, and experts say more needs to be done. i take the view that every death has something preventable about it. now, thatis something preventable about it. now, that is different from saying it should have happened or that somebody is to blame because it didn't happen, but i take the view that every death at some level could be prevented. this montage was made by sophie kain‘s family for her funeral. so she took her own life in
6:23 am
hospital last year. she was 22 —— sophie payne. sophie was a very warm, caring, very loving person, didn't have a bad bone in her body. this thing just sometimes took over. it isjust a gaping void that can never, ever be filled. the inquest into sophie's death also found serious failings to report incidents, to assess risk, the plan for sophie's care. sophie didn't need to die. she didn't need to die if they... they had done theirjobs, they had followed the trust's policies and besiegers, she wouldn't have died on that day. the department of health and social care in england has committed to reducing the number of suicides in hospital 20. the nhs trusts where sophie and zoe were inpatients have told us
6:24 am
they have improved their procedures, but both families have been left devastated, knowing their daughters died in the one place where they we re died in the one place where they were meant to be safe —— reduced to zero. and thank you so much to keith and paul and and thank you so much to keith and pauland mike and and thank you so much to keith and paul and mike and maria for speaking to us about that incredibly difficult subject to talk about, no doubt. if you are affected by anything you have heard, and would like details of organisations which offer advice and support, go online to bbc.co.uk/actionline, or you can call for free at any time to hear recorded information — 0800 066 066. we will repeat that and put it on oui’ we will repeat that and put it on our social media as well. the uk's construction sector suffered a surprise downturn last month. victoria is looking at what the future could hold for the industry. good morning, victoria. hello. good

6:26 am
has contributed to a huge growth in the uk's film and tv industry over the past few years. the british film institute has found it is now worth an estimated £8 billion to the economy. but, with a large section of the workforce coming from eu countries, there are concerns that brexit could spell trouble. we depend quite heavily on skills and craft and writers and directors and craft and writers and directors and actors coming in from europe, so very important for us that whatever comes out at the end of the negotiations doesn't inhibit this industry. one of the country's top private schools is pledging to open its doors to pupils from all backgrounds, regardless of parents' income. westminster school, where nick clegg, louis theroux and helena bonham carter all studied, will now select purely on academic excellence, rather than ability to pay. the headmaster says he was inspired by a pupil at his former school who died in the grenfell tower fire.

6:28 am
there this morning. there is a little bit of cloud at least for some of us but it will clear away reasonably quickly to a day of sunshine. and it is going to feel just a little bit warmer. now, that cloud will clear away north and east was fairly swiftly this morning, leading to a day of blue sky and sunshine. a gentle south—westerly breeze and temperatures responding nicely. we are looking at a maximum today of 20, maybe even 21 celsius. we are hanging on to clear skies overnight tonight as well. the wind sta rts overnight tonight as well. the wind starts to veer from the south. there may be a bit of lift in the interim but that reeves will pick up as we head through the dawn so it won't last for too long. the minimum temperature again mild, between nine and 11 celsius. so a warm start tomorrow morning and a warm day in store for wednesday. that trees from the south becoming quite brisk throughout the afternoon, but temperatures are still reaching 23, 20 four celsius, so it is a warm wind. could see some showers overnight wednesday into thursday. they will clear to another decent day, and temperatures still feeling

6:39 am
exoskeleton? i have taken it off, it was great fun but i thought i needed my arms because i will be walking around and talking and picking up guests on the way. good morning to you both, good morning, dan, iam sorry that i called you charlie, i was confused by the dulcet tones, speaking of gravel, or prefab i suppose, this building went up in just three days, part of perhaps a solution to some of the issues we have in construction, it is called offsite, what we once called prefab housing and it is one of the solutions that has been brought to this, the biggest event in the uk for the construction sector and i have the man who organises this. why do you think you need events like this? are you struggling to get people into the industry? there is a skills shortage in construction. but
6:40 am
there it is hunger as well for more innovative products and ideas like this and, yeah, we have 30,000 people coming in over three days. but we have also created some role models as well, role models to inspire hopefully other people to join the sector. let's walk and talk so we can see join the sector. let's walk and talk so we can see the exhibition as we go through. so we have a bit of a skills shortage, don't we, in the construction sector. we have lots of builders who are retiring, we have workers who would ordinarily be here who are perhaps a little bit concerned, not quite sure what will happen post— brexit, so what is the solution? how do we get new people in the industry and what kind of solutions can we find in terms of what we are building? it is showing to the world and the younger generation how exciting construction is and it is not perhaps what people think of in terms of being outdoors all day, maybe in cold and nasty environments, actually it's very exciting, all about digitalisation, lots of exciting things in terms of technology coming, which you have demonstrated already this morning, but also offsite which you have showed as well, that is definitely
6:41 am
the future in terms of, it is not one answer, at one of many answers, to be able to build more, because we need more houses. exactly and shaking off some of the more traditional image. we will leave you for a moment to pick up anna, who is an architect helping to build this, and you are a role model at the event, so what does it entail?m and you are a role model at the event, so what does it entail? it is showing this sort of process of becoming an architect and all of the opportunities to become involved and contribute to the built environment. there is a sort of feeling that this isn't perhaps an industry for women. what would you say to that? absolutely not, absolutely not. it isa absolutely not, absolutely not. it is a fantastic opportunity for women to become involved in everything around them. architecture is a fantastic career. i love it and i am passionate about what i do. and my team at intervention architecture have worked with engineers to work with school children aged 13 to 15 in ourspare time
6:42 am
with school children aged 13 to 15 in our spare time and they designed this pavilion which we have today. this was built by schoolchildren? they designed the concept which we have closely worked with to do, then we have provided the innovative technology and built it here today. 0k, technology and built it here today. ok, and the mix of schoolchildren interested in this kind of thing, was it mainly boys, girls, is there a gender bias towards construction? it was really diverse which we were really excited about, there were more girls rather than boys taking pa rt more girls rather than boys taking part in the workshop this weekend and we have a responsibility to nourish and encourage that talent as they move forward in their career in architecture, engineering and construction. really interesting, thank you very much, anna. this is some of the work the students have been doing. 13 to 15 —year—olds and they designed this and put this together on a computer programme and we re together on a computer programme and were able to build this pavilion here just were able to build this pavilion herejust one of were able to build this pavilion here just one of the exhibits of 700 today and we will talk about some of the different solutions that we have
6:43 am
to the construction sector both in terms of the people coming in making sure there is a more diverse range of people coming in and what happens of people coming in and what happens of course post— brexit but also some of course post— brexit but also some of the solutions to the age—old problems we have late housing crisis. plenty more coming up later on. i will see you soon. thank you very much. notjust victoria is out for us today. carol is at blenheim palace for us this morning. look at that sunrise behind you. good morning. good morning. isn't it stunning? what a view, the blue hues starting to come into vision now. lennon is the birthplace of sir winston churchill and is also home to the 12th duke of marlborough —— blenheim. it plays host to many events, or example country life, which attracted 100,000 visitors. it isa which attracted 100,000 visitors. it is a chilly start to the day if you are hanging around outside. generally temperatures are in the
6:44 am
high or low single figures or the low figures, so we are looking at between eight and 11 across—the—board. the forecast if you are in scotland and northern ireland is for a wet one, especially across north—west scotland, where we have seen a lot of rain already. there is more to come for you today, which could lead to some problems. coupled with that, gusty winds anywhere from north wales northwards, but for much of england and wales we are looking at a settled day. the cloud we have this morning will then break and we will see some sunshine. the weather front producing all of this rain across scotla nd producing all of this rain across scotland and northern ireland is moving north and also south, so at times will see some rain get into northumberland and cumbria. some of it will be heavy, especially in western scotland. eastern scotland seen western scotland. eastern scotland seen not as much. for england and wales, after that cloudy start, brightening up. sunny spells developing, the best of which will be across east anglia and the south—east. it will be breezy rather than windy. temperatures roughly in
6:45 am
the range of 11 in the north to highs of 20 in the south, which in the sunshine will feel quite pleasant. as we head to the evening and overnight, what will happen is the wind will drop and a subtle change in direction means they will be coming from the south. that will push the weather front towards the north—west of scotland. here, it will still be raining. but for the rest of us, variable amounts of cloud, some breaks, patchy mist u nfold cloud, some breaks, patchy mist unfold in the midlands and east anglia tonight. but that will lift quite readily tomorrow. so tomorrow, quite readily tomorrow. so tomorrow, quite quickly we lose the rain from north—west scotland. then we are looking at a drier and a warm day, the cloud breaking up. lengthy sunny spells, coastal cloud coming in across the east coast of scotland and england, but not much more than that. but the breeze you will certainly notice, and the temperatures widely in the high teens the low 20s, 24 in the south—east. later on wednesday we will have a front coming in from the south—west, introducing some showers. we will have showers moving north from the south of england in
6:46 am
the scotland through the day. some of those will be heavy and thundery, a front reducing rain in the west but in the east we will see dry conditions and it will feel quite warm still. as we head towards the end of the week, a heads up particularly for friday. some of us could have gales or severe gales, and there will be some heavy rain around as well, as a potent area of low pressure comes our way from the atlantic. i will tell you more about that through the programme. thank you very much, carol. it looks really stunning. if "best before" dates put you off buying fresh veg, you aren't alone. almost 2 million tons of food goes to waste in the uk each year. now, retailers want to reduce that number. tesco has scrapped the "best before" dates from more than a 100 pieces of fruit and vegetables, to help customers keep their goods fresher for longer. lindsay boswell is from the food waste charity fareshare. hejoins us now. good morning to you. good morning.
6:47 am
so this is quite... it sounds simple but it is quite a big change, isn't it? it is quite a big change, but you are right, it is simple. "best before" date means exactly what those three words mean, that is when it will be its best, and "use by" is don't eat it by that date, because it will do harm. it is simple. it sounds like you are not a fan of " best sounds like you are not a fan of "best before", that you judge things for yourself. especially when this announcement is about fruit and vegetables, which is one of the areas where common sense prevails in the food business. we can look at those oranges and say that is getting a bit old, i will eat it quickly, or that has mauled on it, i don't fancy it. do you think it will really cut down waste? that is what the ideas about, isn't it? —— mould. we hope so, because fareshare is an environmental organisation and that
6:48 am
2 million figure is horrific, but 250,000 tons of that is in date and could feed people. do you think there is a confusion between "best before" and "use by"? because we have discussed are quite a few times on this programme, and when people are shopping and looking at stuff in their fridge, are shopping and looking at stuff in theirfridge, it are shopping and looking at stuff in their fridge, it can cause a few issues, cut it? yes, it does. actually i think this is the area where i would say that actually we need to take some personal responsibility and just go, come on. " best before" responsibility and just go, come on. "best before" means literally those three were, it is perfectly fine to eat anything after the "best before" date —— three words. and "use by" is a safety issue. i am interested, as well, because i don't quite know how it works. if that is, for example, in any supermarket, and tesco is making that change today, this one says best before 26 —— ten october,
6:49 am
so says best before 26 —— ten october, so you wouldn't be able to sell it after ten october? you would be able to, it is perfectly legal to sell after its " best to, it is perfectly legal to sell after its "best before" date. most of the supermarkets make the choice not to, you mentioned tesco's initiative and the co—op made the decision that they would sell products after its "best before" date as well in a trial in the east of england. what is fantastic here is actually that the retailers are really beginning to focus and take account of this issue around food waste. tesco have just account of this issue around food waste. tesco havejust announced, as well, that 30 million meals worth of food has been diverted to feed people in need. fareshare is the main recipient of that because we support 10,000 charities across the uk. how exactly does it that work? when do you get the food and what happens then? most of it has never reached supermarkets, so the big food waste is further back in the supply chain. those big anonymous
6:50 am
buildings at the motorwayjunctions, the distribution centres, the factories and right back to the farm gate. and at the same time, in a parallel universe, there are lots and lots of charities, domestic violence charities, homeless refuges, etc, etc, that are having to buy food and are struggling to balance their books. so what we do at fareshare is we try and use a social solution to an environmental problem by saying come on, food industry. work with us, divert your services, and we will get them through an amazing army of volu nteers through an amazing army of volunteers from aberdeen down to brighton, we will get the food out to those charities, and we currently save £30 million. presumably if it goes to plan and the food waste is cut out, then you are not going to have the supplies. totally, and that is why at the heart of our dna we are an environmental organisation. if no food is wasted, i will go and do something else. you mentioned a
6:51 am
parallel universe. i understand you we re parallel universe. i understand you were once louise mentioned's boss, when she was 21. is this true? well, i don't know if i was her first boss, but i was her boss —— louise minchin's boss. sometimes your past just catches up with you, 30 years later. it is lovely to see you, and i got the reference that he gave me, which he can't even remember writing, but it is a jokey reference which is very funny, and i have it framed. i have the feeling you have dirt on each other and the truth will never come out. thank you very much, good to see you. don't take any much, good to see you. don't take a ny calls much, good to see you. don't take any calls from anyone! best known for her roles in iron man, the avengers and sliding doors, gwyneth paltrow has in recent years stepped away from the spotlight to concentrate on her lifestyle brand known simply as goop. the business is now ten years old, and hasn't been without controversy, but has just opened its first uk store. charlie spoke to the oscar winner
6:52 am
exclusively as she told him how it all began. i've always been a very curious person. i've always loved food and travel and fashion and beauty, and i sort of harbord this secret desire to start a business and do something like this —— harboured. i had no idea how to do it, i knew nothing about business, i knew nothing about the digital space. how do you make sure that things in the area of medicine claiming to have health benefits do what they say? well, we have a whole regulatory team in place now, and the science and research team, and that is really what they are dedicated to doing. so a lot of times we will find that a third—party product that we sell, people make plain to make claims about products, and so it is very important for us now, as we grow and as we learn, to make sure that the claims that we make the site are efficacious and good. so you have a
6:53 am
tea m efficacious and good. so you have a team of your own scientists, your own researchers, who are looking into this. we do. of the company has come in for some criticism. there was a court case which the sum of money was paid out in connection with some of the claims to do with claims about whether a product could help with depression, particularly. that is actually not quite what it is. one ok, explain to me. it is important, isn't it? yes, absolutely, so one of the products that we sell, some of the regulators in california said you can't say that it does that, and so we never had any customer complaints about it at all, but we chose, we didn't say it... we didn't have to admit any wrongdoing, but wejust it... we didn't have to admit any wrongdoing, but we just wanted to settle it and put it behind us. and of course, as you learn and grow, you... especially when you are a start up, you have to learn kind of on—the—job, unfortunately, a lot of the times. the stuff about well—being more genuinely comic generally, no one is going to argue
6:54 am
that thinking about well—being is a bad thing. when did that emerge for you is a big issue for women in particular? well, i think a lot of what we do comes out of the fact that i think women feel that they are not being paid attention to. a lot of the feedback that we hear is that women don't feel well. they are exhausted, they are depleted, and they don't feel like they are being heard by theirgp, they don't feel like they are being heard by their gp, and what are the things that i can do, as opposed to, you know, popping appeal? are there things that i could address, from a diet perspective, an exercise perspective? inevitably, because of you acting profile, a lot of people think about what happened in hollywood, harvey weinstein, which you have been quoted on in the past. that is directly connected, in a way, the women's welfare. you know, we are living in a time where paradigms are really shifting, and i think women have a very clear, especially in the united states, but they have had enough of certain
6:55 am
systems that have been in place for a long time. and they are being dismantled, and it is a bit of a bloody process, but it is an important process, and yes, i think it is very critical to women's wellness overall that women feel that they are safe in the workplace. some of this inevitably ends up a little bit personal, because of your profile, and who you are. do you have quite a thick skin?|j profile, and who you are. do you have quite a thick skin? i would have quite a thick skin? i would have too, wouldn't i, by this point. anybody who i think tries to move the needle gets resistant sometimes. this is part of it. thank you very much. thank you. we will hear more from charlie and gwyneth later in the programme. we will also have one of the presenters on landscape artist of the year,
6:56 am
between now and 9:15 a.m.. and we will be looking at the beautiful landscape of blenheim palace, as well. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. the draw of working in london, along with tax breaks, has contributed to a huge growth in the uk's film and tv industry over the past few years. the british film institute has found it is now worth an estimated £8 billion to the economy. but, with a large section of the workforce coming from eu countries, there are concerns that brexit could spell trouble. we depend quite heavily on skills and craftspeople and writers and directors and actors coming in from europe, so very important for us that whatever comes out at the end of the negotiations doesn't inhibit this industry. one of the country's top private schools is pledging
6:57 am
to open its doors to pupils from all backgrounds, regardless of parents' income. westminster school, where nick clegg, louis theroux and helena bonham carter all studied, will now select purely on academic excellence, rather than ability to pay. the headmaster says he was inspired by a pupil at his former school who died in the grenfell tower fire. but critics claim less—well—off families won't really benefit. part of london's east end is getting a multibillion—pound makeover and a brand new district. known as wood wharf, the site on the isle of dogs is expected to bring around 20,000 jobs to the area. there will be a mix of retail, tech and creative industries. let's take a look at the travel situation now. it is a good start on the tubes this morning. no reported problems there at the moment. but there are delays for gwr, southern and thameslink trains via redhill, because of a fire next to the track, which has closed two of the platforms.
6:58 am
turning to the roads: seven sisters road is partly blocked just after the nags head—holloway road junction, because of an accident. at buckhurst hill, victoria road is closed outside the tube station because of a gas leak. and between camberwell and peckham, there are temporary traffic lights on peckham road at southampton way, for repairs to a gas leak. time now for the weather, with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a mild start out there this morning. there is a little bit of cloud at least for some of us, but it will clear away reasonably quickly to a day of sunshine, and it's going to feeljust a little bit warmer. now, that cloud will clear away north and eastwards fairly swiftly this morning, leading to a day of blue sky and sunshine. a gentle south—westerly breeze, and temperatures responding nicely. we're looking at a maximum today of 20, maybe even 21 celsius. we're hanging onto clear skies overnight tonight, as well. the wind starts to veer from the south. now, there may be a bit of mist in the interim, but that breeze will pick up
6:59 am
as we head through to dawn, so it won't last for too long. the minimum temperature again mild, between nine and 11 celsius. so a warm start tomorrow morning, and a warm day in store for wednesday. that breeze from the south becoming quite brisk throughout the afternoon, but temperatures still reaching 23, 24 celsius, so it's a warm wind. could see some showers overnight wednesday into thursday. they'll clear, though, to another decent day, and temperatures still feeling warm in those sunny spells. i'll be back in half an hour, but until then, you can get all the latest on our website. see you soon. good morning, welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker.
7:00 am
it is 7am. our headlines today: the second suspect in the salisbury novichok poisoning is identified as a medic in russia's military intelligence. i, brett m kavanaugh, do solemnly swear... brett kava naugh thanks president trump for his support as he's sworn in as a us supreme courtjustice. construction suffered a surprise downturn last month. i'm at the largest event for the industry to find out whether robotics could provide some solutions for the future. he's the premier league's top scorer, but is eden hazard leaving chelsea tojoin real madrid? he says it's the club of his dreams. a breakfast exclusive, as gwyneth paltrow tells charlie about life in hollywood after harvey weinstein. we are living in a time where
7:01 am
paradynes are really shifting and i think women are very clear especially in the united states that they have had enough —— paradigms. good morning from blenheim palace. it isa good morning from blenheim palace. it is a chilly start today here but generally it is a mild start. for scotla nd generally it is a mild start. for scotland and northern ireland you are infora scotland and northern ireland you are in for a wet and windy day. for england and wales when the cloud brea ks england and wales when the cloud breaks it will be breezy but we should have some sunny spells. i will have more, though, in 15 minutes. very good morning to you. it's tuesday, october 9. our top story: the second suspect in the salisbury nerve agent attack has been named. the investigative website, bellingcat, says the man who called himself alexander petrov and claimed to be a tourist is in fact a military doctor employed by the russian intelligence service, the gru. our correspondent andy moore is outside the russian embassy for us this morning. morning to you. what more
7:02 am
information can you give us. well, that has been no response so far from the russian embassy. they are usually very vocal on social media but nothing from them, nor from the russian government. but i think the kremlin is likely to be highly embarrassed that there is now so much information in the public domain about two of its so—called secret agents. meanwhile, bob seely, one mp on the foreign affairs select committee, said it was appalling that a doctor should be sent out to administer lethal poison to one person only to end up killing somebody else by mistake. the men suspected of poisoning the skripals were caught on camera as they headed through salisbury. the investigative website bellingcat says it can reveal the identity of the man on the right. they say he's alexander mishkin, a military doctor who was working for russian military intelligence, the gru. they've published these three pictures of him and claimed to have
7:03 am
spoken to many people who know him. they say until 2014 he was giving gru headquarters as his home address in moscow. this is his passport in his real name. in his fake id he used the same first name and date of birth. this is dr mishkin on the right here, in an interview with russian state television, where the two men claimed they were just tourists. sergei skripal and his daughter yulia both spent months in hospital in comas before eventually recovering, but dawn sturgess died after being exposed to the nerve agent novichok. she had accidentally handled a fake perfume bottle that contained the poison. the first minister, nicola sturgeon, will deliver her key speech to the scottish national party conference today. she is expected to renew calls for independence. let's get more detail from our political correspondent, nick eardley, who is in glasgow for us this morning. and, oh, hello, you have the stage
7:04 am
to yourself. yes, we have the place to yourself. yes, we have the place to ourselves for now but i expect it will be a lot more busy when nicola sturgeon gets on stage this afternoon. in that speech she will focus on the big issue of the day, brexit, launching a pretty scathing attack on the government in westminster, saying that it is stumbling from disaster to disaster, and that it is often quite hard to watch from up here in scotland. and she will try and contrast that with what the scottish government is doing, claiming they are offering a more optimistic and positive message. now, it wouldn't be an snp conference without mention of independence. i don't think we'll get further on when another independence referendum could potentially be held. we will hear miss sturgeon repeating she thinks it is the best way for scotland to
7:05 am
achieve some of the things she wants to see happen over the next few yea rs. to see happen over the next few years. her opponents here of course will say that she should use the speech to rule it out. that won't happen. thank you very much for that. donald trump has hosted a ceremony at the white house swearing in justice cava nagh at the white house swearing in justice cavanagh on the supreme court. the president apologised to him and said he endured terrible pain and suffering. after weeks of political rancour, a ceremony swearing in ceremony forjustice kavanagh. —— after weeks of political rancour, a ceremonial swearing in ceremony forjustice kavanagh. greeted by an extended standing ovation from his supporters, the new member of the us supreme court took the oath of office with his wife and daughters by his side. less than two weeks ago, he angrily denied a charge that sexually assaulted christine blasey ford when they were both teenagers.
7:06 am
president trump said mr kavanaugh was owed an apology. on behalf of our nation, i want to apologise to brett and the entire kavanaugh family for the terrible pain and suffering you have been forced to endure. justice kava naugh thanked the president for what he called his steadfast, unwavering support throughout the process. i'm grateful to you and mrs trump for the exceptional, overwhelming courtesy you have extended to my family and me. mr president, thank you for everything. applause mr kavanaugh also adopted a tone of reconciliation. the senate confirmation process was contentious and emotional. that process is over. my focus now is to be the bestjustice i can be. this chapter in the extremely acrimonious appointment of a supreme courtjudge may be closing, but with the us mid—term elections just four weeks away, the politicalfallout could be critical to the future
7:07 am
of donald trump's presidency. peter bowes, bbc news. elon musk‘s spacex company has successfully launched its latest satellite into space, wowing social media users in the process. lighting up the skies above california, the falcon 9 rocket went into orbit and returned eight minutes later to an air base north—west of los angeles. the satellite will be used to track natural disasters, crop yields and soil—moisture levels from 385 miles above the earth. it is 7:08am. going out for a meal with friends is something many of us take for granted, but disability campaigners say it isn't simple for everyone. from wheelchair access to braille menus, there is no official way for venues to tell disabled customers what facilities they have. now, there are proposals in wales
7:08 am
for the introduction of a scheme that rates venues based on accessibility. our disability correspondent nikki fox has been to bridgend to find out more. i work iwork up i work up with a neck ache and i thought i had slept funny and the next thing you know i was on the floor lying there in a horrible, horrible place. two years ago a rare neurological condition left helen paralysed. i was always busy. before then this 23—year—old used to love to go out but it is much harder now. you know you normally have an idea planning something with someone, let's go for food, yes, then the next question is, can i get in, how ami next question is, can i get in, how am i going to get in, what will i do, will the table b ok. you want to live your life like you did before because that's what i did all the time, so why can't i do it now? i am just sitting in a chair, it is not... just sitting in a chair, it is not. . . what just sitting in a chair, it is
7:09 am
not... what is important to helen and her happiness is getting as much of her old life back as possible and that includes going out with her mates. and there is an idea that might make that a bit easier. here in bridgend a group of disabled volu nteers wa nt in bridgend a group of disabled volunteers want all premises to be awarded with an accessibility certificate. it is a bit like a food hygiene sticker, the better the facilities, like accessible bathrooms, hearing loops or braille menus is the better the school. bathrooms, hearing loops or braille menus is the better the schoolm isa menus is the better the schoolm is a very simple idea. this is about knowing where we can go, knowing what we can do. i travel around the country a lot and i would love to google a restaurant and think, that is good, they are showing mash tonight as well but you can't get in. house of lords report in 2016 found that laws designed to eliminate discrimination against disabled people simply were not working in practice. the chair of that report is not enough has changed. some quite sensible and cheap suggestions that we put forward were disregarded as placing
7:10 am
burdens on business, whereas it is a zero—sum game because if you put the burden on business you are lifting a burden on business you are lifting a burden off disabled people. if you make shops accessible for disabled people they will go in and spend some more. the government says while it has made significant progress, there is always more it can do. it is determined to continue creating a society that works for everyone, where all can participate fully and be included. we have had a lovely time tonight, helen, but how do you feel when you can't get into a resta u ra nt ? feel when you can't get into a restaurant? you are constantly fighting barriers, it tests you, your self—worth. fighting barriers, it tests you, your self-worth. there is still a long way to go before we will see these accessibility stickers in restau ra nts a nd bars these accessibility stickers in restaurants and bars but a positive response from the welsh assembly will be the first step in making notes out for people with all disabilities at it easier. —— nights out. well, lots of different things
7:11 am
pointed out in that report. joining us now is actress and disibility campaigner samantha renke. lovely to see you. thank you for having me. tell us about your personal experiences, what kind of things do you find difficulties which could be solved quite easily? access runs my life. every time i leave my own home, which, you know, fortu nately leave my own home, which, you know, fortunately is completely adapted, which is fantastic, i can be independent in might own environment. as soon as i go out the front door i have to think about transport, i think about curbs, i think about if i go into a shop do i need to take a friend with me, or my pa with me? even travelling to work, i have to always assess where things are and even on a night out it is really upsetting. i think, gosh, are and even on a night out it is really upsetting. ithink, gosh, can i have two cocktails, or only won because if there is no accessible bathrooms and i can't really relax and enjoy myself. there is an equality act, so access is meant to be legally required, is it not... i
7:12 am
see you roll your eyes. it is not enough? it is not fit for purpose. you have the reasonable adjustment, if you look at it, it is a grey area. if you are a small cafe owner, putting in access will actually be financially in deficit, then there are ways around it, which i com pletely are ways around it, which i completely understand, but i think thatis completely understand, but i think that is where the government should step in and be like, here is a grant to go towards your small retail shop or cafe and make these adjustments. only 8% of the disabled community, which is a total of 13.9 million, only 8% are wheelchair users, so putting in a ramp doesn't help the disabled community as people often think. this really gives you a very visual kind of stark illustration of
7:13 am
your life and the issues. it is laughable, isn't it, really? you couldn't possibly reach that? no, it was an accessible changing area, and luckily i was with a friend shopping, and even to hang your clothes it was too high and i thought, gosh, thank goodness my friend was with me. can ijust ask if it were to happen and they are talking about it in wales at the moment, if it were to happen that there was a rating scheme for buildings, how helpful would it be? immensely, i think it would be fantastic and it would just make people think about the disabled community, we are notjust looking at physical barriers, we are looking at physical barriers, we are looking at attitudinal barriers, you know, staff have to be trained on how to approach someone with a disability, how to show them where the disabled facilities are. so i hope it goes through. it is ridiculous. we are the fastest growing minority. again, there is 13 million disabled people living in the uk today, so why are
7:14 am
our needs not met? when you say in this instance, in this picture, when you speak with someone in the shop and you say i can't reach that, there is no chance without assistance, what reaction do you get? i get a lot of blank faces, once again, you know, staff need to be trained and i don't think that's happening, unfortunately. you can put as many adaptations into an establishment, but if staff are not educated, you know, to communicate with the customer, then it is pointless. given that there is legislation have you noticed some difference is being made?” personally live in london and ifind it has gotten worse. really? with things like pedestrianised zones, so you can't even get taxis, even where i live, it is a low emission zone, so i live, it is a low emission zone, so only taxis that are electric can come down my road and... what do you do? if it was electric... it won't
7:15 am
fit your wheelchair? electric cars, so fit your wheelchair? electric cars, so it is low fume emission, so even where i live some taxis are not allowed to pick me up. can't come to get you? yes. i think we will talk to you again, when we? please! i have plenty to say. oh, it is lovely to see you and thank you very much for coming in. carol is at blenheim palace for us this morning. good morning, carol. good morning, all. isn't it a glorious. let's take all. isn't it a glorious. let's take a quick look around. you can see the autumn colours already out here. it is still, quiet morning. the only sounds are the cracking of the ducks and the birds tweeting as well. blenheim palace has 2000 acres of parkland and also formal gardens —— quacking. landscaped i capability brown, and it is stunning, and if
7:16 am
you are standing waiting for a train it feels cool. generally temperatures are milder and brighter than they were this time yesterday. the forecast for the day is a wet one across scotland and northern ireland, at times northumberland and cumbria. it will also be windy across the northern half of the country. but for much of england and wales when we lose this morning's cloud we will see some sunny spells. you can see why we have the rain and the pressure chart. a weather front draped across scotland and northern ireland is sinking south and moving northwards, the heaviest of the rain once again will be in the west of scotla nd once again will be in the west of scotland and the north—west of northern ireland, where we have already seen a lot dry totals. you may find that is problematic. not much rain in the east of northern ireland and the east of scotland and for much of england and wales it will be a dry day. breezy in the south, windy in the north, and temperatures, we are looking at a range of 11 in the north to highs of
7:17 am
20 as we push into the south. that 20 as we push into the south. that 20 in any sunshine will feel quite nice for the time of year. as we head through the evening and overnight, the winds will tend to drop, and the effect of that will be to push the weather front north—westwards, into the far north—westwards, into the far north—west of scotland and out of northern ireland and the rest of scotla nd northern ireland and the rest of scotland and northern england. we will see a bit of patchy mist and fog forming across east anglia and the midlands. that will lift quite readily tomorrow, and tomorrow, when we quickly lose the rain from north—west scotland, it will be a dry and sunny day for the bulk of the uk. but a noticeable southerly breeze. we could see cloud on the east coast of scotland and england, and temperatures of 19 or 24 many parts of the uk. for some, into the low 20s. east anglia, and the south—east, 24. that is way above average for some of us buy a good eight or nine degrees. later on wednesday we will see showers coming
7:18 am
in from the north—west, and though showers will move northwards across the country. at the same time we will also have a weather front coming in from the west producing some rain. some of this will be heavy and thundery, but as the shower is clear the east you will have some drier and brighter conditions and it will still be warm —— showers clear the east. on friday we have a potent area of low pressure coming in from the atlantic. it will bring some of us very strong winds, gales, even severe gales, and some heavy rain. at the moment the met office have not named this storm, but should they choose to name it, it will be called callum. we will keep you posted on breakfast. sokal and could well be on the way. thank you very much. —— so callum could well be on the way. there are calls for more to be done to reduce the number of suicides amongst inpatients at mental health hospitals. more than a 100 people in the uk take their own lives every year while they receive treatment in the very places that are meant to keep them safe.
7:19 am
breakfast‘s graham satchell has been to meet two families devastated by suicide. we will always have a huge hole in our heart where zoe lived. we like to think that maybe she's still there. zoe watts was a brilliant athlete, part of the gb trampolining squad. she started having mental health problems when she was 14, and after a series of attempted suicides, was admitted to a secure mental health unit. did you think, when she was in an institution, that she was safe? yes, yes. yeah. that's the only reason she was there. zoe's room hasn't been touched since she took her own life last year. she died in hospital, the day before she was due
7:20 am
to be discharged. at the inquest, her parents discovered there had been significant failings in her care. it's very hard for us to live with that, knowing now that zoe's life could have been preserved, if things had have been done the way they should have been done. she wasn't safe. that's hard. figures out today show the number of inpatients who have taken their own lives in the uk has fallen from 166 in 2006 to 106 in 2016. but the numbers have plateaued, and experts say more needs to be done. i take the view that every death has something preventable about it. now, that's different from saying it should have happened, or that somebody is to blame because it didn't happen. but i take the view that every death, at some level, could be prevented. this montage was made by sophie payne's family for herfuneral.
7:21 am
sophie took her own life in hospital last year. she was 22. sophie was a very warm, caring, very loving person. didn't have a bad bone in her body. it was just the illness that. . .sometimes took over. it'sjust a gaping void that can never, ever be filled. the inquest into sophie's death also found serious failings to report incidents, to assess risk, to plan for sophie's care. sophie didn't need to die. she didn't need to die. if they — they had done theirjobs, they had followed the trust's policies and procedures, she wouldn't have died on that day. the department of health and social care in england has committed to reducing the number of suicides in hospital to zero. the nhs trusts where sophie and zoe were inpatients have told us
7:22 am
they have improved their procedures, but both families have been left devastated, knowing their daughters died in the one place where they were meant to be safe. such a difficult subject to discuss. a massive thank you to keith and paula and mike and maria for speaking to us. if you are affected by anything you have heard, and would like details of organisations which offer advice and support, go online to bbc.co.uk/actionline. or you can call for free at any time to hear recorded information — 0800 066 066. let's take a look at today's papers. the times focuses on the naming of the second suspect in the salisbury poisoning. the picture is of a man named by the bellingcat investigative website as alexander mishkin,
7:23 am
a military doctor working for russian intelligence. the guardian also has a picture of dr mishkin on its front page. the lead story says the metropolitan police's use of force has risen sharply in the past year, with black people more likely to be affected than anyone else. the daily mail claims that pret a manger‘s "fresh" baguettes are made in a french factory, and can be kept in freezers for up to a year before being used. the picture is of 42—year—old celia marsh, a mother—of—five, and the second customer who died following an allergic reaction to one of its products. the paper also covers that kiss between strictly comedian seann walsh and his married dance partner katya jones. in a twitter post, seann walsh's girlfriend, rebecca humphries, says, "seann called me a psycho for suspecting he was cheating". the same story dominates the front of the daily mirror, which carries the headline "you are cha—cha chucked".
7:24 am
and doctor who star bradley walsh has been causing a stiron instagram. quite a debate about their future on strictly, we have been trying to get in contact with them, but he has said no comment at this point. and in the build—up to the new series of doctor who, jodie whitaker's debut has gone down very well. huge figures, 9 million people watched the first episode of the new series and you might have been hooked in by and you might have been hooked in by a genius bit of advertising from radley walsh, who is one of the friends of the doctor, they are not called companions any more. # i hope
7:25 am
that it won't and... rack it up, joey! i never really cared until i met you... # and now it chills me to the bone... what is it that makes you smile, is it the surprise? it is just nice. if you go all in, i think people respect the fact that you don't do it in a half—hearted fashion. you have to go for it, and they have all gone for it.|j fashion. you have to go for it, and they have all gone for it. i like they have all gone for it. i like the fact that we want them to be friends, and they clearly are. and the headline in the paper is mime
7:26 am
lord. i will test you on the year, what year is that power ballad from? 1995? 1987, actually. i should know that. in your prime than! thanks. i mean your musical prime. where is carol? carol will tell you what is happening with the weather in the next half—hour. this is the scene this morning at the birthplace of sir winston churchill, blenheim palace, with a heatwave predicted for parts of the country this week. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. while i dig myself out of a rather large hole. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alice salfield. the draw of working in london, along with tax breaks,
7:27 am
has contributed to a huge growth in the uk's film and tv industry over the past few years. the british film institute has found it is now worth an estimated £8 billion to the economy. but, with a large section of the workforce coming from eu countries, there are concerns that brexit could spell trouble. we depend quite heavily on skills and craft people and writers and directors and actors coming in from europe, so very important for us that whatever comes out at the end of the negotiations doesn't inhibit this industry. one of the country's top private schools is pledging to open its doors to pupils from all backgrounds, regardless of parents' income. westminster school, where nick clegg and louis theroux studied, will now select purely on academic excellence, rather than ability to pay. the headmaster says he was inspired by a pupil at his former school who died in the grenfell tower fire. but critics claim less—well—off families won't really benefit. part of london's east end is getting
7:28 am
a multibillion—pound makeover and a brand new district. known as wood wharf, the site on the isle of dogs is expected to bring around 20,000 jobs to the area. there will be a mix of retail, tech and creative industries. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there is a signal failure at edgware road which is causing problems on the tubes at the moment. both the circle and hammersmith & city lines have severe delays, and the district line has no service between high street kensington and edgware road. on the trains, there are delays for gwr, southern and thameslink via redhill, because of a fire next to the track which has closed two of the platforms. turning to the roads: seven sisters road is partly blocked just after the nags head—holloway road junction, because of an accicent. —— accident. at buckhurst hill, victoria road is closed outside the tube station because of a gas leak. time now for the weather,
7:29 am
with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a mild start out there this morning. there is a little bit of cloud at least for some of us, but it will clear away reasonably quickly to a day of sunshine, and it's going to feeljust a little bit warmer. now, that cloud will clear away north and eastwards fairly swiftly this morning, leading to a day of blue sky and sunshine. a gentle south—westerly breeze, and temperatures responding nicely. we're looking at a maximum today of 20, maybe even 21 celsius. we're hanging onto clear skies overnight tonight, as well. the wind starts to veer from the south. now, there may be a bit of mist in the interim, but that breeze will pick up as we head through to dawn, so it won't last for too long. the minimum temperature again mild, between nine and 11 celsius. so a warm start tomorrow morning, and a warm day in store for wednesday. that breeze from the south becoming quite brisk throughout the afternoon, but temperatures still reaching 23, 24 celsius, so it's a warm wind. could see some showers overnight wednesday into thursday. they'll clear, though, to another decent day, and temperatures still feeling warm in those sunny spells.
7:30 am
i'll be back in half an hour with all the latest. until then, here's louise and dan. see you soon. hello, this is breakfast, with louise minchin and dan walker. i think my microphone is currently not on, so do you want to carry on speaking? sure. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. the second man suspected of carrying out the salisbury nerve agent attack has been identified as a doctor with the russian military intelligence agency, the gru. the investigative website, bellingcat, has named him as alexander mishkin. our correspondent sarah rainsford joins us now from moscow. what more can you tell us, sarah? well, that's right, this is coming from bellingcat and the russian partner, identifying alexander mishkin as the man they believe was a second suspect from the salisbury poisoning, they named the first one a couple of weeks back now, they say
7:31 am
alexander mishkin studied at a military medical academy in st petersburg and they believe he was recruited by russian military intelligence, the gru, and moved to moscow, and around 2010 they say they believe he began conducting missions abroad including the salusbury attack. they are saying as well that he got his alias at that point and they say that's when he began his mission. they have published a photograph, passport photograph, of the man named as alexander mishkin and it certainly does look extremely like the man that we have seen off course on those cctv pictures from saul spree and also on the interview that the man calling himself alexander petrov did with russian state television, so we are did with russian state television, so we are try to stand up the details independently but so far our research has shown up that the man calling himself alexander mishkin was indeed registered at the headquarters of the gru military
7:32 am
intelligence in moscow so it would appear that is the identity and it might have been uncovered. so uncomfortable times for the kremlin which of course denies any role in the salisbury poisoning and continues to do that to this day. yes, there is quite a lot to be found out about this man. thank you very much, thank you. donald trump has apologised to the newly appointed us supreme courtjustice, brett kavanaugh, on behalf of the american people for what he called the campaign of political and personal destruction based on lies and deception. president trump was speaking at a swearing—in ceremony at the white house. the confirmation process ofjustice kavanaugh had been marred by sexual assault allegations. on behalf of our nation i want to apologise to brett and the entire kavanaugh family for the terrible pain and suffering you have been forced to endure. those who step forward to serve our country deserve a fair and dignified evaluation, not a campaign of political and personal destruction based on lies and deception. what happened to the kavanaugh family violates every notion
7:33 am
of fairness, decency and due process. the international monetary fund has warned a trade war between the us and china risks making the world a "poorer and more dangerous place" in its latest assessment of the global economy. the imf has lowered its forecast for global growth this year and next. it said that a full—blown trade war between the us and china would put a significant dent in economic recovery. on the last day of the scottish national party conference, the first minister, nicola sturgeon, will make her keynote speech. it is thought she will renew calls for independence. she is expected to say scotland needs to offer people "optimism and hope" to contrast with the "unfolding calamity" of a westminster government. prison officers in england and wales are to be issued with canisters of a synthetic pepper spray to help deal with violence and disorder. the announcement came as the president of the prison governors association accused the government of failing to react in a timely manner to the crisis injails.
7:34 am
prisons minister rory stewart said prison officers' ability to keep control of prisons, and the chaotic individuals within them, is vital to ensuring everyone's safety. it is 7:34am. carol will tell you what's happening with the weather. she is at the beautiful blenheim palace this morning. when we filmed countryfile, the highlight of my career when i hosted the sheep grand nationalfor career when i hosted the sheep grand national for countryfiles. the sheep grand national? yeah, jumping over tales of hay and they had different coloured sheep. did you win? no, i was the adjudicator, the commentator. oh, ok. you know what,
7:35 am
he is not rambling, that really happen. i saw that on the telly. and i got to do the thing at the end where they sometimes eat something... i did that as well, a sort of big burger, that was my highlight. eating on tele, definitely the highlight. sorry, i digress. no, really? iwent in fora massive bite early on and they said i had to redo that and they had to have a whole extra burger. i have gone off topic. it must be fantastic for eden hazard, should he stay at chelsea, or go to real madrid? what a dilemma. choices. he is in the position where everyone wants a piece of him. the reason for that is he has seven league goals. hazard says he is torn between signing a new deal with chelsea and making a dream move to real madrid. he has been really honest, though, hasn't he? this is what he had to
7:36 am
say. "i don't want to say, ‘yes, i am signing a new contract‘ and then in the end i don't end up signing." he says chelsea have given him everything and sometimes he wakes up thinking he wants to go, and sometimes thinking he wants to stay. the thing i am interested in, though, is, how does he know real madrid definitely, definitely want him, if they're not allowed to talk to him yet? anyway, just a thought. very good question. hazard is one of 11 premier league players nominated for this year's ballon d'or award, that's a record number. england captain and tottenham striker harry kane has made the 30—man shortlist, along with liverpool's mo salah and kevin de bruyne and sergio aguero of manchester city. lionel messi and cristiano ronaldo are also included, of course, ronaldo won the award for the fifth time last year. and this year there'll be a women's award for the first time. england's lucy bronze and fran kirby are among the 15 players nominated. bronze was part of the lyon side that won last season's champions league, while kirby won a super league and fa cup double with chelsea. the ceremony will be in paris on the 3rd of december. england's women play tonight — they take on australia at fulham's stadium, craven cottage.
7:37 am
australia are ranked sixth in the world, against england's third, so they'll offer another good test as the lionesses continue their preparations for next year's world cup. it is gonna be a real physical game this one, where australia i think are similar to usa in terms of the physicality. they have real running power and strength in the team. regardless of who they have brought or not, you know, they have got players that can play in any league in the world, on any stage and our players are going to have to show all their quality. the fa are investigating comments made by manchester united manager jose mourinho to a television camera, after saturday's win over newcastle. mourinho's remarks were made in portuguese and have been interpreted as being offensive. watch his face here, look at this. the fa will get an official translation before deciding what course of action to take. england's cricketers begin their one—day series in sri lanka tomorrow. there's no james anderson in the squad — his last odi was three years ago, but he says he has no plans to retire from test
7:38 am
cricket just yet. he's england's leading wicket—taker, fourth in the world standings, and at the age of 36 he insists he still has plenty of hunger for the game. you don't have to be a young lad just to keep learning about your skills, you can be any age, and i still feel like i learn a lot from the players. so, the minute i don't enjoy training and enjoy the sort of practice side of it, or i don't enjoy those battles, then i am not up for it, then i think that is time to retire. former australia opener matthew hayden said he dodged a bullet after he suffered a fractured bone in his neck while surfing. he posted this picture of himself in a neck brace on social media, thanking everyone who'd helped him after the accident off stradbroke island in queensland. hayden is 46 now — he retired from cricket back in 2009. ouch. did he forget that it is a dangerous
7:39 am
sport? it is really dangerous. potentially hit by a rock or the board, that can also happen. st helens fullback ben barba has won rugby league's man of steel award. he scored 28 tries in 23 super league games this season, as his side won the league leaders' shield. castleford's georgia roche, who's only 17, won the first—ever woman of steel award. are you all paying attention? yes, you told us about this. cute dog alert. a pitch invasion in a top division match in georgia. i don't know if you can spot him yet, here he is, look how happy the dog is. the dog didn't want a football, look! laughter isn't that amazing? that is possibly one of the best trained a football dogs that i have seen. immediately lies down and bolsover, just wanting his tummy tickell. immediately lies down and bolsover, just wanting his tummy tickellm wouldn't be court, reminding me of

someone wouldn't be court, reminding me of someone in my house. —— tuckled. wouldn't be court, reminding me of someone in my house. -- tuckled. how long did it take to remove the dog? iam not long did it take to remove the dog? i am not sure actually. it looked quite well trained. did you notice the goalie put up his hand and it rolled over. do you remember crocodile dundee ? rolled over. do you remember crocodile dundee? a bit of that going on, wasn't it? thank you, sally. the uk construction sector suffered a setback last month with output at its slowest rate in six months. victoria is at the biggest building industry gathering to find out why. i was checking what she was wearing because she was wearing an x0 skeleton which was amazing. good morning. -- exoskeleton. good morning, yes, iwas morning. -- exoskeleton. good morning, yes, i was wearing the exos keleton, morning, yes, i was wearing the exoskeleton, just one of the perhaps solutions i guess to one of the issues facing the construction industry at the moment. good robotics help? the other thing of course is, can we build things quicker, can we build things cheaper? this is one of the answer the building industry has, without the building industry has, without the moment, it is what we know as
7:41 am
prefabricated housing, off—site housing, these structures can go up in three days, they can go up, in tyre homes up injust one day, they are manufactured off—site and they can be built together —— entire homes. they can be built supposedly to last. we have plenty of companies looking into this kind of technology. the government very much putting its weight behind it. looking quite favourably on projects that are using off—site construction. so is it going to be the holy grailfor construction. so is it going to be the holy grail for the construction. so is it going to be the holy grailfor the industry? david, you are a fan of this and you are doing this in belfast? yes. tell me more, since the dawn of time, since world war two, we have had a housing crisis in this country, we haven't been able to build houses quick enough. this has been touted asa quick enough. this has been touted as a solution for years but there is not being take—up, why has it been? as an industry we have been delivering off—site solutions across a wide range of sectors, education, commercial and healthcare, but now we are moving into the housing and
7:42 am
the accommodation, and certainly the uk government is really pushing it and giving weight behind it. as we we re and giving weight behind it. as we were talking earlier, it is about supply and about. this is the issue, demand, would you want to live in a home? absolutely. you don't? not yet but as a company we have built and designed and constructed a prototype house and overwhelmingly the first impression that people have when they walk into the house or the home as we like to call it is that it just a home, it feels no different, it is built using off—site construction techniques, but it feels like any other home and any other house. so we see that as we are faced with having to deliver almost 300,000 houses or homes per year, off—site can certainly help to deliver that. if we think about traditional techniques and how they will try to deliver that capacity and volume they are going to struggle so we have to look to the future at these additional sort of ways to deliver this. ok, let's
7:43 am
bring in natalie, you're a fan of prefa b bring in natalie, you're a fan of prefab housing as well, i'lljust come round this way for you, and you're an engineer, we have this issue, don't we, we don't have a huge number of women in the workforce, 11% of the construction industry, is it holding the industry back? it is something we are trying to redress, diversity in construction is something we see as a way forward in order to close the skills gap that we have in construction. having a much more diverse workforce we can deal with that issue absolutely. more people seem that issue absolutely. more people seem to bejoining the industry. it's interesting that wages are actually going up in the construction sector despite the fact that there has been a recent blip we have seen wages go up and a few more women and the percentage of women starting to rise in the workforce, so starting to rise in the workforce, so lots of things happening here. i will have plenty more things. i will see if can get back into the exos keleton see if can get back into the exoskeleton and have some fun with the headlines at 8am and i will see
7:44 am
you then. we are looking forward to it already. thank you very much indeed. i like the 7am headline. you will have to build on that with the 8am headline in annex a skeleton in around 15 minutes' time. look at the sky at blenheim palace this morning. carol is in oxfordshire and can tell us carol is in oxfordshire and can tell us what is happening today and for the next few days. good morning, isn't it glorious? we watched that blue sky light up this morning. fantastic sunrise as well, but blenheim palace, wow. 2000 acres of landscaped garden and parkland, designed and landscaped by capability brown. behind me you can see queens pool and all around me, lovely autumnal colours. it is not as cold start to the day as it was yesterday. if you are standing waiting for a bus or train it is cold, you have keep moving. temperature—wise, higher than it was yesterday. if you remember yesterday, three or four in the south—east. today we are looking at
7:45 am
the highest single figures and low double figures. the forecast for todayis double figures. the forecast for today is split. across scotland and northern ireland you have a wet and windy day ahead. for england and wales, after a cloudy start for some of us, the cloud will then a break and sunny spells will develop. the weather front draped across scotland and northern ireland is waving north and northern ireland is waving north and south so we will see rain across northumberland and cumbria. the squeeze on the isobars tells you that anywhere north of north wales will be windy. gusty winds, 32 35 mph. the heaviest rain will be across western scotland and the north—west of northern ireland. elsewhere, in scotland and northern ireland, the rain will not be as heavy but here it will be windy as well. further south, it heavy but here it will be windy as well. furthersouth, it will heavy but here it will be windy as well. further south, it will be breezy but we will see some sunshine. temperatures ranging from about 11 in the north to highs of 20 as we push further south. as we head on into the evening and overnight, the wind suddenly changes direction
7:46 am
to more of a southerly, pushing the weather front towards the north—west of scotland. the wind will not be a strong buy then either. patchy mist and fog forming across east anglia and fog forming across east anglia and the midlands. we don't expect that to be problematic, and tomorrow it will tend to break up quite quickly. talking of tomorrow, and quickly. talking of tomorrow, and quickly. the rain across western scotla nd quickly. the rain across western scotland will move away, and we're infora dry scotland will move away, and we're in for a dry day with a lot of sunshine. some cloud at times across the east coast of england and scotland, but that will be exception rather than the rule. but you will notice the breeze. look at those temperatures, 19, 20, 21, up to 24 somewhere in east anglia and the south—east. that is a good nine or 10 degrees higher than it should be at this stage in october. later on wednesday, a weather front from the west will start to introduce some showers. the showers will push into scotland. some of those will be heavy and thundery. as it clears it will brighten up behind, but from the west, the wind will pick up. it
7:47 am
will feel cooler in the west than in the dry and sunny weather in the east. before i go, ijust want to alert you to the fact that on friday we are looking at a potent atlantic low pressure coming in from the west. that will bring some of us very strong winds, potentially gales, even severe gales, and also some heavy rain. at the moment this area of low pressure has not been named by the met office, if it should be, then it will be called callum. and of course i will keep you posted on that as we go through the next few days. you won't see what we are seeing, but you have gone fully soft focus on us this morning. it is like a 1970s dream sequence. morning. it is like a 1970s dream sequence. no, iwas morning. it is like a 1970s dream sequence. no, i was enjoying that! do you know what? that is our lovely cameraman, andi do you know what? that is our lovely cameraman, and i said can you spare some gasoline over that lends to make me look better? and he did. —— vaseline over that lens. it is like

7:49 am
goop, your company. give us a sense of what goop is. goop is a modern lifestyle brand. we have strong values around non—toxic beauty and around the philosophy that we like to help people make good choices. where did the idea come from the originally? what was the thinking, what is the ethos? i think i have a lwa ys what is the ethos? i think i have always been a very curious person. i have always loved food and travel and fashion and beauty. and i sort of had this secret desire to start a business. i had no idea how to do it. i knew nothing about business, i knew nothing about the digital space. how do you make sure that things in the area of medicine claiming to have health benefits do what they say? well, we have a whole regulatory team in place now, and a science and research team, and that's really what they're dedicated to doing. so a lot of times we'll find that a third—party product that we sell, people make claims about products,
7:50 am
and so it's very important for us now, as we grow and as we learn, to make sure that the claims that we make on the site are efficacious and good. so you have a team of your own scientists, your own researchers, who are looking into this. we do. because the company has come in for some criticism. there was a court case in which a sum of money was paid out in connection with some of the claims, to do with claims about whether a product could help with depression, particularly. that's actually not quite what it is. ok, explain to me. it is important, isn't it? yes, absolutely. so one of the products that we sell, some of the regulators in california said you can't say that it does that. and so we never had any customer complaints about it at all, but we chose. we didn't say it — we didn't have to admit any wrongdoing, but we just wanted to settle it and put it behind us. and of course, as you learn and grow, you — especially when you're a start—up, you have to learn kind
7:51 am
of on—the—job, unfortunately, a lot of the times. looking at a quote from a canadian gynaecologists, this is the quote, andi gynaecologists, this is the quote, and i will just gynaecologists, this is the quote, and i willjust put it to you in a straightforward way. she said that using smoke and mirrors to say things that make you happy, make you healthier, is not fair. the suggestion is there is a sort of area of pseudoscience that you are placing your product in. yes, we disagree with that wholeheartedly. we believe there are healing modalities that have existed for thousands of years, and they challenge may be a very conventional western doctor that might not leave necessarily in the healing powers of essential oils or any variety of acupuncture, things that, you know, have been tried and tested for hundreds of years. and we find that
7:52 am
they are very helpful to people, and that there is an incredible power in the human body to heal itself. and so the human body to heal itself. and soi the human body to heal itself. and so i think any time you are trying to move the needle, and you are trying to empower women, you find resistance, and we think that is just part of what we do, and we are proud to do it, we are proud to be trailblazing. and in amongst that criticism, there are people saying that a lot of the stuff you are bringing attention to is very worthwhile. the stuff about well—being more generally, no—one is going to argue that thinking about well—being is a bad thing. when did that emerge for you as a big issue forwomen, in particular? well, i think a lot of what we do comes out of the fact that i think women feel that they are not being paid attention to. a lot of the feedback that we hear is that women don't feel well. they're exhausted, they're depleted, and they don't feel like they're being heard by their gp, and what are the things that i can do, as opposed to, you know, popping a pill? are there things that i could address, from a diet
7:53 am
perspective, an exercise perspective? inevitably, because of your acting profile, a lot of people think about what happened in hollywood, harvey weinstein, which you have been quoted on in the past. that is directly connected, in a way, to women's welfare. you know, we're living in a time where paradigms are really shifting. and i think women have a very clear — especially in the united states, but they have had enough of certain systems, that have been in place for a long time. and they're being dismantled, and it's a bit of a bloody process, but it's an important process. and yes, i think it's very critical to women's wellness overall that women feel that they're safe in the workplace. you have spoken about your connection with weinstein, and at
7:54 am
one point brad pitt stepped in in relation to what you said had happened. after all that came out and the weinstein story broke and a lot of women started to come forward , lot of women started to come forward, i think there became a new kind of scaffolding in which you could tell stories, and before that it was a very different landscape. and so... but i did feel that it was, you know, important to be a pa rt was, you know, important to be a part of that story. and as i said, our mission at goop is always to try and move culture forward, so that was an important part of it. so the business you are running now, has taken over? business you are running now, has ta ken over? have business you are running now, has taken over? have you stopped acting? acting is fantastic, but it is not where my focus is right now. i do it a little bit here and there. i am in the avengers movie that is coming out in may, and i am doing a small pa rt out in may, and i am doing a small part ina out in may, and i am doing a small part in a series that my husband is
7:55 am
doing for netflix, so a couple of days here and there, but goop is primarily my focus. the sense i am getting is that you think that some people are getting the wrong impression about what you are trying to do. look, ithink impression about what you are trying to do. look, i think that there is a lwa ys to do. look, i think that there is always click bet, and people love to write things, especially we see a lot around if we write around women's sexual and mental health —— clickbait. people in the past have written a lot about it. we com pletely written a lot about it. we completely stand behind everything we do and say. we think that we are headed in the right direction. we know we are. we can see, we talk about something and they will be some, like, the internet will blow up, and six months later, 18 months later, ever one is following what we do. some of this inevitably ends up a little bit personal, because of your profile, and who you are. do you have quite a thick skin? i would have to, wouldn't i, by this point. anybody who, i think, tries to move the needle gets resistance sometimes. this is part of it. thank you very much.
7:56 am
thank you. charlie chatting with gwyneth paltrow. also on the programme, we will be discussing the strictly scandal in many of the front pages. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alice salfield. the draw of working in london, along with tax breaks, has contributed to a huge growth in the uk's film and tv industry over the past few years.
7:57 am
the british film institute has found it is now worth an estimated £8 billion to the economy. but, with a large section of the workforce coming from eu countries, there are concerns that brexit could spell trouble. we depend quite heavily on skills and craft people and writers and directors and actors coming in from europe, so very, very important for us that whatever comes out at the end of the negotiations doesn't inhibit this industry. one of the country's top private schools is pledging to open its doors to pupils from all backgrounds, regardless of parents' income. westminster school, where nick clegg and louis theroux studied, plans to select purely on academic excellence, rather than ability to pay. but the proposals depend on the success of a fundraising campaign. part of london's east end is getting a multibillion—pound makeover and a brand new district.

known as wood wharf, the site on the isle of dogs is expected to bring around 20,000 jobs to the area. there will be a mix of retail, tech and creative industries. let's take a look at the travel situation now. lots of problems on the tubes at the moment. a signal failure at edgware road means the circle and hammersmith & city lines have severe delays, and the district line has minor delays between high street kensington and edgware road. the bakerloo line also has severe delays, with minor delays on the overground, euston to watford junction. there are delays for trains via redhill because of a fire next to the track, which has closed two of the platforms. the a406 is slow southbound from ilford to barking because of a collision.ion and at buckhurst hill, victoria road is closed outside the tube station, because of a gas leak. time now for the weather, with kate kinsella. good morning. it's a mild start out there this morning. there is a little bit of cloud at least for some of us, but it will clear away reasonably quickly to a day of sunshine,
7:59 am
and it's going to feeljust a little bit warmer. now, that cloud will clear away north and eastwards fairly swiftly this morning, leading to a day of blue sky and sunshine. a gentle south—westerly breeze, and temperatures responding nicely. we're looking at a maximum today of 20, maybe even 21 celsius. we're hanging onto clear skies overnight tonight, as well. the wind starts to veer up from the south. now, there may be a bit of mist in the interim, but that breeze will pick up as we head through to dawn, so it won't last for too long. the minimum temperature again mild, between nine and 11 celsius. so a warm start tomorrow morning, and a warm day in store for wednesday. that breeze from the south becoming quite brisk throughout the afternoon, but temperatures still reaching 23, 24 celsius, so it's a warm wind. could see some showers overnight wednesday into thursday. they'll clear, though, to another decent day, and temperatures still feeling warm in those sunny spells. i'll be back in half an hour with all the latest. until then, you can get all the latest on our website and facebook page.

8:01 am
as gwyneth paltrow tells charlie about life in hollywood after harvey weinstein. we are living in a time where paradigms are really shifting and i think women are very clear, especially in the united states, that they have had enough. good morning from glenn fine palace, birthplace of sir winston churchill, where the sun is shining down. today isa dry where the sun is shining down. today is a dry day and feeling warm in the sunshine, but for scotland and northern ireland it will be wet and windy. details in 15 minutes. it's tuesday october the 9th. our top story: the second suspect in the salisbury nerve agent attack has been named. the investigative website bellingcat says the man who called himself alexander petrov and claimed to be a tourist is in fact a military doctor, employed by the russian intelligence service the gru. our correspondent, andy moore has the details. good morning. as we understand still
8:02 am
no official response from russia. what is the latest that we know? that is right, the russian embassy is prolific on social media, but no word from them yet or from the russian government. i think the kremlin will be highly embarrassed to find out there is no so much information in the public domain about these two so—called secret agents. meanwhile bob seely, an mp, agents. meanwhile bob seely, an mp, a russian expert who sits on the common affairs committee says it is appalling that a doctor should be sent out to administer lethal poison to one person and then end up killing another person by accident. the men suspected of poisoning the skripals were caught on camera as they headed through salisbury. the investigative website bellingcat says it can now reveal the real identity of the man on the right. they say he's alexander mishkin, a military doctor who was working for russian military
8:03 am
intelligence, the gru. they've published these three pictures of him and claimed to have spoken to many people who know him. they say until 2014 he was giving gru headquarters as his home address in moscow. this is his passport in his real name. in his fake id he used the same first name and date of birth. this is dr mishkin on the right here in an interview with russian state television where the two men claimed they were just tourists. sergei skripal and his daughter yulia both spent months in hospital in comas before eventually recovering, but dawn sturgess died after being exposed to the nerve agent novichok. she had accidentally handled a fake perfume bottle that contained the poison. donald trump has hosted a ceremony at the white house after the swearing—in
8:04 am
of brett kavanaugh as a justice of the us supreme court. he had been accused of sexual assault and the us president apologised to him, saying he'd endured "terrible pain and suffering". here's peter bowes. after weeks of political rancour, a ceremonial swearing in ceremony forjustice kavanagh. greeted by an extended standing ovation from his supporters, the new member of the us supreme court took the oath of office with his wife and daughters by his side. less than two weeks ago, he angrily denied a charge that he sexually assaulted christine blasey ford when they were both teenagers. president trump said mr kavanaugh was owed an apology. on behalf of our nation, i want to apologise to brett and the entire kavanaugh family for the terrible pain and suffering you have been forced to endure. justice kava naugh thanked the president for what he called his steadfast, unwavering support
8:05 am
throughout the process. i'm grateful to you and mrs trump for the exceptional, overwhelming courtesy you have extended to my family and me. mr president, thank you for everything. applause. mr kavanaugh also adopted a tone of reconciliation. the senate confirmation process was contentious and emotional. that process is over. my focus now is to be the bestjustice i can be. this chapter in the extremely acrimonious appointment of a supreme courtjudge may be closing, but with the us mid—term elections just four weeks away, the politicalfallout could be critical to the future of donald trump's presidency. peter bowes, bbc news. the international monetary fund has warned a trade war between the us and china risks making the world a "poorer and more dangerous place" in its latest assessment
8:06 am
of the global economy. the imf has lowered its forecast for global growth this year and next. it said that a full—blown trade war between the us and china would put a significant dent in economic recovery. the first minister, nicola sturgeon, will deliver her key speech to the scottish national party conference today. she is expected to renew calls for independence. let's get more detail from our political correspondent, nick eardley who is in glasgow for us this morning and you've got the hall to yourself nick? it won't be like that later. know, a couple of hours until things get under way here. nicola sturgeon will be speaking up here this afternoon. we do not expect dancing on stage like the prime minister last week, but they will be a scathing attack on theresa may's handling of the brexit negotiations. nicola sturgeon
8:07 am
thinks the government is stumbling from crisis to crisis and she will say it was hard to watch sometimes from scotland. she will contrast what is going on at westminster with what is going on at westminster with what she thinks is going on in edinburgh where she says the scottish government is offering more optimism and hope. it would not be an snp conference without the mention of independence. i do not think we will get any detail today orany think we will get any detail today or any potential timetable for an independence referendum, it will be more about nicola sturgeon saying, here are my argument about independence, they are more relevant than ever and i will continue to make them over the next few months. but her opponents in scotland say that she should use her speech today to rule out the prospect of another independence vote. to rule out the prospect of another independence vote. prison officers in england and wales are to be issued with canisters of a synthetic pepper spray to help deal with violence and disorder. the announcement came as the president of the prison governors association accused the government of failing
8:08 am
to react in a "timely manner" to the "crisis" in jails. our home affairs correspondent danny shaw reports. it's been used by police for years, and our present officers will be carrying one too. pava is the latest bit of equipment to help staff deal with violence behind bars. and this is how the pepper like spray works. stop what you are doing! we were given a demonstration at hull prison, one of fourjails where pava being trialled. the chemical causes eye irritation and coughing, giving staff time to get the prisoner under control. ministers say the spray acts as a deterrent and could even save lives. if a prisoner were in a horrible situation, to be stamping on another prisoner's head, for example, that might be a situation where, instead of reaching for backup, you may well want to say stop doing that, i have some pepper spray. prison officers in all adult male prisons will now be equipped with pava at a cost of £2 million.
8:09 am
but some say the relationship between prisoners and staff is the key to good order, and that needs far greater investment. it's ok having pava, having body worn cameras, we have lots of things in place, but we need more people in our prisons to build those relationships to make our prisoners safe. pava will be widely available from next year, but it will be assessed before a decision is made before allowing staff to use it in women's prisons and youth custody centres. elon musk‘s spacex company has successfully launched its latest satellite into space, wowing social media users in the process. lighting up the skies above california, the falcon 9 rocket went into orbit and returned 8 minutes later to an air base north west of los angeles. that does look impressive.
8:10 am
the satellite will be used to track natural disasters, crop yields and soil—moisture levels from 385 miles above the earth. it looks all right! i think there is a virtue in being ha rd to i think there is a virtue in being hard to please sometimes. it looks pretty beautiful and impressive. it looks pretty beautiful and impressive. let's return now to our top story and the latest twist in the salisbury novichok poisoning investigation with one of the suspects identified as doctor alexander mishkin, a former russian military doctor. we're joined now by mp bob seely, who has been a vocal supporter of the website. they are the ones who say they found this evidence. thank you very much for coming on the programme and giving us more detail. the second suspect has been revealed. how significant breakthrough do you think this is? it is more
8:11 am
information and the important thing in democratic and open societies is to get information into the public domain. iam to get information into the public domain. i am confident that belling cats are very good at what they do, they are expert digital detectives and they have presented a wealth of evidence and they will do that in parliament to back up the evidence that was put out last night. you are standing outside the russian embassy this morning, still no official response from russia. how do you think this news will be going down backin think this news will be going down back in the kremlin? it is not good. a lot of gr you operatives have been named in the last couple of weeks and if your secret agency is not secret, you have a problem. over 300 agents named is the best part of a regiment and that maybe up to one fifth of your manpower, so it is difficult to deploy these personnel around the world. you can send them to mongolia as liaison officers, or
8:12 am
kazakhstan, but you cannot send them to the west where they have been designed to operate potentially. to the west where they have been designed to operate potentiallym the past research said, we can expect russian warfare for years to come. do vet what is happening now and in the next few days and weeks are cared might change things?” hope it will shame the kremlin. my concern is with the kremlin and not with the russian people. vladimir putin declared this new political wa rfa re putin declared this new political warfare back in 2007. they named their national security strategy which is based around the use of nonconventional and conventional means. i do not think this problem will go away. i think the russians will go away. i think the russians will recalibrate and other russian agencies might say to the kremlin the gr you have on public at what they have been doing and this is now not plausible. do you think what has
8:13 am
happened today like an endorsement of the intelligence of belling cat? the met are saying it is not that. you their work is highly credible and they are involved with the international criminal court and for the first time the international criminal court accepted evidence from facebook in relation to in libya. geo— tagged information from the social media is now being used in the international criminal court, so in the international criminal court, so it is reaching evidential level and that is a breakthrough. do you think we will get further revelations in the press conference later? yes, we will and we will get details which will be of interest. you are an mp and work in parliament, do you think the prime minister theresa may should be doing? could she be doing more? the prime minister has done a really
8:14 am
good job. we have an excellent security minister in ben wallace. i would like to see them do more. i am not talking about being aggressive to the kremlin, i am talking about things to protect our democracy. we need a standing group to look into russia, china, iran and other people. we will be looking at how big data is used with artificial intelligence in both open societies and also inside authoritarian states and also inside authoritarian states and how they try to corrupt other societies. we need to be able to defend ourselves. in britain we do not want a rerun of the 2016 american election. our media needs to be free and open and we need social media not to corrupt that, although that is a big ask. there are other things we could be doing. do you think the relationship between the uk and russia is irreparable? you'll know, it is not andi irreparable? you'll know, it is not and i hope very much in ten years'
8:15 am
time the relationship will be as it should be, which is a close relationship with people we admire and respect. unfortunately we have a russian regime which has a security lea k russian regime which has a security leak which defines itself in opposition to the west and presents and refuses to identify a separate ukrainian identity which is where a lot of this warfare and conflict comes over, the russian sphere of influence in eastern europe, and the west does not want to give it to them. thank you very much. bob sealey, the mp outside the russian embassy today. there will be a press conference with a bit more detail later on. the second suspect has been identified in that poisoning of sergei skripal in salisbury. it is a beautiful day because carroll has got some scrumptious, autumnal colours behind her. yes, it is
8:16 am
stunning, look at this view. we could be on the border of north america and canada because this is the great lake. but we are not, we are at blenheim palace this morning. the sun is out and the temperature is slowly starting to rise and generally speaking it is not as cold a start to the day as it was yesterday. but if you are hanging around a bus stop or a train station you will notice it is cool, but later on you will be casting off your code because it will be quite warm in the uk. in north wales and northwards we have gusty winds. in england and wales are looking at a dry day with sunny spells developing, rather like yesterday. you can see why we have got his reign, there is a weather front in scotland and northern ireland and it is weaving north and south. some of the rain will get
8:17 am
into cumbria and northumberland. the heaviest rain will be in western scotla nd heaviest rain will be in western scotland and north west ireland. there could be more to come and it could be problematic. to the east of northern ireland and in eastern scotla nd northern ireland and in eastern scotland it will not be as heavy. it will be windy across north wales, northern england, northern ireland and scotland. breezy in the south and scotland. breezy in the south and in the sunshine we are looking at temperatures up to 20 celsius. as we move on through the evening and overnight the wind suddenly changes direction to more of a southerly wind and it will push the weather front into north—west scotland, taking the rain with it. for many it will be a dry night with variable amounts of clyde. patchy mist and fog forming across the midlands and east anglia. that will lift quickly tomorrow. as the rain moves away from north—west scotland, we are in
8:18 am
for a from north—west scotland, we are in fora dry from north—west scotland, we are in for a dry day and a sunny one. the east coast could see a bit more cloud, but that is about it. look at the temperatures. for this stage in october they are high. we are looking at 19—22. in the south east and east anglia it could be up to 24. showers coming into the south—west later. on thursday the showers will move from southern england into scotland and some of them will be thundery. we have got rain in the west of the uk. in the east the sun will come out and it will be quite warm with ties up to 21. before i go, i want to give you a heads up if you are planning anything on friday because we have got a potent area of low pressure come in from the atlantic and that will bring in heavy rain and strong winds. there will be gales and severe gales. this storm has not been named yet, but should the met office decide to name it, it will be
8:19 am
called callum. we will have to wait and see, but can it will be. every year, thousands of people in the uk are affected by the death of a baby, with one in four women losing their child during pregnancy, birth or shortly afterwards. but is enough being done to support the affected? 60 uk charities don't think so, and they've come together to urge all nhs bodies to improve bereavement care. one of them is the stillbirth and neonatal death charity sands. its chief executive dr clea harmerjoins us now, with zoe clark—coates, who has lost five babies. yes, absolutely. how do you deal with that and what support did you get? sadly we did not get any support which is why we launched the charity. there was not support out there for us. we were told by our
8:20 am
co nsulta nt there for us. we were told by our consultant that there was nothing, do not looking. we lost during the early stages of pregnancy through miscarriage and missed miscarriage. sadly we were treated like we had just gone through a medical incident rather than the loss of life which any parent will tell you that when you lose a child you are using part of you. it is notjust a medical process. she is not alone in this, absolutely. similar experiences. absolutely. sadly it is not a rare event. one similar experiences. absolutely. sadly it is i birth 'are event. one similar experiences. absolutely. sadly it is i birth and event. one similar experiences. absolutely. sadly it is i birth and neonatalie four is still birth and neonatal death. 15 babies die every day in the uk, so. is the death. 15 babies die every day in the uk, so - is the real issue. the uk, so this is the real issue. the care that women receive afterwards is one of the most important things that happens for
8:21 am
them. doctors, midwives and nurses, important things that happens for them. doctors, mi the es and nurses, families is crucial. the right support, what sort of difference would that make to you and other support, what sort of difference would that the e to you and other support, what sort of difference would that the e to y of and other support, what sort of difference would that the e to y of difference. have made the world of difference. you are often left in shame almost when you go through loss because the experience is minimised. - feel experience is minimised. you feel like you are alone, you are grieving in isolation. is that because people do not know what to say they have not been trained they cannot deal do not know what to say they have not been trair are hey cannot deal do not know what to say they have not been trair are going nnot deal do not know what to say they have not been trair are going through ll with what you are going through because they don't know what to do? the temptation is to say because they don't know what to do? the temptation is to campaigns as that is one of our big campaigns as a charity, to start the conversation, to not be afraid to speak to anybody who has gone through i am speak to anybody who has gone through- i am also co—chairing conversation. i am also co—chairing the government's review into baby loss into the care so we can put some of these things into practice
8:22 am
and we can make these every level, notjust in hospitals. many people don't go to a hospital, these losses happen at home. places there are buried with rooms. how helpful can something like that be? good bereavement care is about treating families - that respect, treating families with that respect, being kind, compassionate. it is about having the space. in a bereavement space you cannot hear the sound of other babies being born. it helps make memories with photographs, handprints and footprints. the training is really photographs, handprints and footprints. what 'aining is really photographs, handprints and footprints. what we ing is really photographs, handprints and footprints. what we are 5 really photographs, handprints and footprints. what we are launching important. what we are launching this week is the national bereavement pathway which is a fantastic programme it out across england and in scotland later we will ensure that every parent gets equal and excellent bereavement care. at the every parent gets equal and
8:23 am
excellent berei postcode are. at the every parent gets equal and excellent berei postcode lottery. he every parent gets equal and excellent berei postcode lottery. its moment it is a postcode lottery. it depends where you live, what gestation or age your baby is, and we want everybody to get that good care. is there any information on how it is make on people's recovery? it is devastating. nothing removes the make on people's recovery? it is devastating. nothing remi we 1 the make on people's recovery? it is devastating. nothing remi we l the | is or a pregnancy loss. what we know is that poor care can exacerbate that and make it much more difficult. good care can with the good care can help you cope with the process and move forward. it is absolutely crucial. we asked the department of health and social care to give us a response and they have blogged about the important the pathway. they said, we launched a review to look at how to improve support and training for staff and how the nhs can improve access to support and training for staff and how the nhs can improve you ss to support and training for staff and how the nhs can improve you could recoverfrom baby loss. if you could change something, what is your response to that? i am co-chairing
8:24 am
that, so i believe in it. we can change across the whole of the uk. if you could make one change, what would it be? you speak from personal experience. we want to bring in a new certificate of loss, so anybody who uses a baby l to apply for a people will be able to apply for a certificate so your baby will get formal recognition. at the moment there is no recognition. will in terms of certification. it will bea in terms of certification. it will be a crucial change and make a massive difference to many thousands of pa rents. massive difference to many thousands of parents. we have talked about a lot of people do not this before. a lot of people do not talk about it. they go through these situations on their own and it is still too good to talk about it. situations on their own and it is still too good 1 today about it. situations on their own and it is still too good 1 today marks t. situations on their own and it is still too good 1 today marks the is, absolutely. today marks the beginning of baby loss awareness week and it is recognised all around
