ministerjacqui doyle—price, to become the uk's first minister for suicide prevention. it is hoped that the new role will help tackle the stigma around suicide. but the mental health charity sane has said that while it welcomes the intention, many patients in uk are left untreated and in crisis because there's no treatment available. i recognise that the treatment on mental health in the nhs to date has not always been as good as it needs to be. from next year the government says it will also publish an annual report focusing on young people's mental health. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. we'll be talking to the health secretary matt hancock about that story in just over an hour. that's at 7:10am. four former northern ireland secretaries have urged the government to prioritise supporting victims of the 30—year conflict, instead of funding for new investigations into the troubles. ministers are consulting on setting up a new historical investigations unit, to pursue prosecutions
6:03 am
for around 1700 killings. however critics argue that £150 million pounds would be better spent on compensation for victims rather than further investigations. one of the most comprehensive studies of the state of banking and markets since the financial crisis is warning of a rising threat to the world economy. the international monetary fund says that although banks are far safer than they were in 2008 there are new risks, including rising inequality and moves towards a trade war. it also argues that a disorderly brexit threatens trade. a state of emergency has been declared across three us states as category three hurricane michael looks set to make landfall later today. florida's governor has draughted in troops and ordered the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of residents. 13 people have already been killed by the storm across central america. lebo diseko has more. battening down the hatches for what florida's governor is calling a "monster storm". half a million coastal residents have been told to get
6:04 am

6:05 am
you know, crazy. and, you know, peoplejump and run, you know, they should do that. but we've just been through so many that we're comfortable staying. so we're going to. and we've got enough food and generator gas. so we'll be just fine. fuel supplies are already running low as the region prepares for the coming days. and with michael forecast to be one of the strongest storms in decades, it might be quite some time before things on these shores return to anything like life as people know it. lebo diseko, bbc news. indonesian officials say the search for victims of last month's earthquake and tsunami will end tomorrow, despite the fact thousands of people are still unaccounted for. the disaster struck sulawesi almost two weeks ago, with the city of palu worst affected. the official death toll is currently more than 2000, but around 5000 people are still missing, feared dead. 0ur asia correspondent nick beake reports. after the horror, so many survivors

need and, as outside attention d rifts need and, as outside attention drifts away, they pray they won't be forgotten. nick beake, bbc news, palu. the children's commissioner for england, anne longfield, says she's seriously concerned about a rise in the use of segregation in young offender institutions and secure training centres. a report from the commissioner, seen by bbc news, shows that children in england and wales are also being held in isolation for longer periods, with some being separated from other inmates for three months. our home affairs correspondent danny shaw explains. what happens when young people in custody are a danger to others or themselves? increasingly, they're held in rooms or cells in isolation for hours, days, or even weeks. a report on segregation found it had been used in young offender institutions 73 times per month. that's up from 51 times in 2014. the average length of segregation doubled to 16 days, with a total of 709 children kept in isolation
6:09 am
in the youth custody estate in the first six months of the year. children's commissioner anne longfield, who wrote the report, says there's a growing consensus segregation is inherently unsuitable. she says there is evidence that it can cause long—term harm to mental health and development. campaigners are also concerned. the psychological experience of being kept from other human beings in such a way, on, what, children who might be as young as 15, is very damning and serious, and potentially very damaging. the ministry ofjustice says there are strict safeguards of segregation and says it's only used as a last resort. danny shaw, bbc news. and if you need some inspiration for a wednesday warm—up, then look no further. freestyle skier andri ragettli set up this course as part of his training. we've sped it up a wee bit but it gives you some idea of how tricky it is. he made it to the end after no

6:13 am
up are looking at temperatures probably up to about 23 or 2a somewhere in the south, but widely we are looking at around about 19, 20, 21 degrees, so not bad at all. now, by the time we get to the evening we will have showers starting to show their hand, coming from the south coast, from france into the channel islands, south—west england, south—west wales, pushing steadily north eastwards and by the end of the night we have a weather front from the south—west as well. temperature—wise, this is quite interesting too, we are looking at a range roughly ten to about 15, that's what we expect as an maximum daytime temperature, at this stage of october. so tomorrow we have a band of showery rain moving northwards, some could be heavy and thundery. then we have a second one coming in right behind it. again, some of it could be heavy and thundery. if you're in the east when the showers have cleared and the sun comes out, it will still be a pleasant, warm day for the time of

6:26 am
expensive, as i said, but it has been easy to do than in some places. the land is not too difficult. they are not taking the fibreoptic cables up are not taking the fibreoptic cables up mountains. they say has cost about £1100 per household to lay the cable, they say they will get that backin cable, they say they will get that back in 7—8 years and they say that because they are owned by the jersey government they are able to take a long—term view. they are confident they have future proofed this island. and yes, the rest of the uk, the uk can learn from that. it sounds great. thank you very much. we will be talking to rory all morning. we will see some glorious views. this morning it is like those postcards of summer at night, where it is dark all the time. we will see it is dark all the time. we will see it all later on. a reminder that we are definitely moving into winter. let us see what is coming up later on. spanning the river tyne between gateshead and newcastle. we're on the tyne bridge to mark 90 years since it was officially opened.

shall we show the picture ofjadon sancho, talking of the dream scenario for an 18—year—old about to become the first england player born since the millennium. jadon sancho has been speaking for the first time since joining gareth southgate's squad. the 18—year—old borussia dortmund star says he's living the dream. 0ur sports correspondent katherine downs has been to the england training camp ahead of their nations league match against croatia. gareth southgate's newest star with a name made for chanting, and name already sung in germany, jadon sancho snubbing the money and big names at manchester city to sign for borussia dortmund and guarantee himself a chance to shine. a big risk but one that has paid off and here he is part of the senior england squad. just got my opportunity on the pitch and hopefully i can show the world what ican do. hopefully i can show the world what i can do. and obviously people are taking notice and i am just
6:36 am
grateful. there are a lot of great young players out there. ijust think it is because they are so determined to play. and obviously to play in front of the world i am just grateful that i am living the dream. england are the under 17 world cup winners. sancho already has a world cup winners medal to his name as pa rt cup winners medal to his name as part of the victorious under 17 squad last year. some say his senior call—up has perhaps come too soon but he is among his peers here. much has been made of his talent and of course his youth. remarkable perhaps, but if you consider the squad as a whole has an average age of just squad as a whole has an average age ofjust 23, he isjust squad as a whole has an average age ofjust 23, he is just a squad as a whole has an average age ofjust 23, he isjust a part squad as a whole has an average age ofjust 23, he is just a part of gareth southgate's bright england. ofjust 23, he is just a part of gareth southgate's bright englandlj see gareth southgate's bright england.” see him in training today and i think this kid is a good player and iam sure think this kid is a good player and i am sure the england fans will see. we will see him very soon. a lot of people know about him already. happy to see him here and the other young lad. 0bviously to see him here and the other young lad. obviously the quality has got him here and it is no surprise
6:37 am
because they are doing well for the clu bs. because they are doing well for the clubs. whether or not he can stand for the scrutiny, set in when hearts flutter, will become clear when england take on croatia and spain on friday and monday. for now he is already winning new fans. to arrive here at just 18 it already winning new fans. to arrive here atjust 18 it might not seem so far out of reach. england's womens manager phil neville has strongly criticised the state of international refereeing after his side drew 1—1 with australia in a friendly. england took the lead in the first half through chelsea's fran kirby, but were on the wrong end of some questionable decisions, having a goal disallowed and penalty appeals denied. australia equalised late in the game, but neville was left angry at what he'd seen. it is easy saying you can't criticise people within the women's game because it is the women's game, no, if the standards are not right, ijust no, if the standards are not right, i just criticised the
6:38 am
no, if the standards are not right, ijust criticised the players for not being ruthless enough and they have accepted it. i think for the women's game to get better we need to have conversations like this and be brave enough to come out and say that this needs to improve. breaking news, charlie has noticed something about phil neville. he was wearing a waistcoat. maybe it is the same suit. maybe it is going to bring him luck. he is wearing a waistcoat. 0h, charlie, powers of observation. just looking. yes, paying attention. thank you, everybody. we're just seven months away from the cricket world cup and this morning england continue their preparations as they take on sri lanka in the first one day international. england are the world's top side and go into the five match series as favourites, and that's a position they're relishing. we like being favourites, that means you've been doing something right, so to have worked our way to the top of the ranking, i think the guys enjoy that pressure of being the number one side and people wanting to obviously beat us and, obviously
6:39 am
going away playing international cricket is a tough challenge, coming here, but the favourite tag is not something that worries that side. it's been more than 40 years since a woman started a formula 1 race, but could a new motorsport series help find the next generation of stars? this morning a new women—only event is being launched in the hope of doing just that. the w series will start in 2019 and will involve drivers racing identical cars in six races across europe. over in buenos aires the youth olympics are well under way uncovering many stars of the future. but i want to remind you of the olympics of 1984, this was john whitaker who with his brother michael was part of the british showjumping team that won silver. i don't remember that. don't you? note. i got into it later. well, fast forward 34 years and this is jack whitaker, son of michael, nephew ofjohn, doing exactly the same thing
6:40 am
at the youth 0lympics. really? silverfor him, following in his family's illustrious footsteps and receiving just a little word of congratulations. he likes to know what's happening. he likes to know what's happening. he is the boss. so you tell him what iam doing. he is the boss. so you tell him what i am doing. what did he say? massively well done, really, he never says much, just very well done, good. very well done, yeah. i think i would be more effusive. thank you. see you later on. it's being called the "fry and turnbull effect," a huge rise in the number of men being seen and treated for prostate cancer. the nhs chief simon stevens says our former colleague bill, and the broadcaster steven fry are owed a debt of gratitude for speaking out about their own experiences and prompting others to come forward. we'll be catching up with bill a little later on, but now we're joined by stephen powis, who's the national medical director of nhs england. good morning to you. thank you for
6:41 am
your time this morning. just give us a sense of what has changed in relation to the number of people seeking advice and getting help. good morning, charlie. so, between april and june this year we saw an additional 4000 people coming into our cancer service, the service that treats prostate cancer, so that's about a third more than we saw during the time at the same time la st during the time at the same time last year and about to .5 times more people, 70,000 accessed information on the website about prostate cancer on the website about prostate cancer on the website —— 2.5 times. we think it is related to bill and stephen being so open about their condition and encouraging people with possible symptoms prostate cancer to seek advice. yes, because, you tell me, there is a genuine relu cta nce you tell me, there is a genuine reluctance — men particularly about seeking healthcare about lots of things, but a real issue around prostate cancer. gas, it is a real issue, men are often reluctant to
6:42 am
come forward, especially with symptoms of prostate cancer, including for instant difficulty in passing urine, difficulty... well, the bladder feeling full and very occasionally blood into pee as well and men can find that embarrassing. but what we really want to do with cancer is to diagnose it early. cancer survival rates in the uk are better than ever. so more than seven in ten people survive one year and about one into a diagnosed with early stages of cancer, but we could do so much better and part of that is people coming forward when they have symptoms. why do you think that this reluctance has grown? has it a lwa ys this reluctance has grown? has it always been that way in relation to men and their health more generally? is it something that the health system has always struggled with, to get men to come forward? yes, so, it is interesting that in the uk we seem to be a little more reluctant to come forward, maybe that something about the stoicism stiff upper lip of british people which is goodin upper lip of british people which is good in some respects, not so good when it comes to symptoms of cancer,
6:43 am
because, as i say, notjust in prostate cancer, in other cancers, if you have a persistent cough, if you have blood in your poo, these could be signs of cancer. so what we really wa nt could be signs of cancer. so what we really want to do to improve cancer survival is to get people coming early, because if we catch cancer early, because if we catch cancer early the treatment is so much better and the chance of survival increases. of course, bill turnbull isa increases. of course, bill turnbull is a friend of many people on this programme, and he and stephen fry took that brave step and it is not took that brave step and it is not to be underestimated, that, is it, going through a major event in your life, both of them, this applies to lots of people as well, there are different ways to go about things and going about it and talking about it openly is a brave step in those insta nces, it openly is a brave step in those instances, isn't it? yes, and we have obviously seen the effect from celebrities and people in the public eye but i think it's also good when people who have cancer talk to relatives and friends and let's be more open about it. cancer has this
6:44 am
terrible word associated with it, but treatments are getting better and better than the key is early diagnosis. the earlier we catch cancer the better the survival so talking about it, being open about it, not being afraid to seek advice from professionals and friends is really a good thing and that's what we all need to encourage.” really a good thing and that's what we all need to encourage. i am mindful today there is a lot of concentration on mental health today particularly. holding back information and not seeking advice can put a strain on individuals and families as well. it is world mental health day today and we are investing more in mental health services to bring them up to clarity with physical health services and we are keen on children's mental health with the stresses and strains for our young people and so we are ensuring that more people than ever will have access to mental health
6:45 am
services and of course the prime minister is making important announcements today. so mental health is really key to the nhs and our view of what we should be doing in the next few years. good to speak to you this morning, thank you very much. carol is at severndroog castle with a look at this morning's weather. you do about it. you will by the end of the day. good morning. good morning. i will be telling you lots of stories about severndroog castle in greenwich. as we go through the morning, including a very romantic one. look at that sunrise. the one i am going to tell you now is about lighthouses. in 1788 the castle played an important role in an important experiment. trinity house, the body that looks after the safety of shipping actually wanted to test new lamps for their use in
6:46 am
lighthouses. what they did was placed them on the roof of the castle and anyone living within 30 miles was asked to comment on the brightness of the various lights. as daybreak occurs, you will see a stupendous view across london. you can see really quite far from here. i was talking to laura who works here, she was to —— telling me, that you can even see windsor castle with binoculars. this morning for many of us we are starting on e—mail the note. it is breezy comedy breeze coming up from the south. —— starting on a lighter note. we will lose fog patches that have formed overnight. we have some low cloud across parts of scotland. you can see on the prototype what is happening. the front has produced the red across scotland and ireland is now pushing the weight that you can see on the chart. that will clear. the wind has pushed it away.
6:47 am
noticeable breeze today. particularly down the north sea coastline. temperatures will be tempered a little bit by that. in the sunshine today, and for most of us, it will be sunny. we are looking at temperatures getting up, easily, into the high teens, low 20s. and in the south, particularly the south—east, 23 or 24 degrees. not bad at all for this stage in 0ctober. as we had on through the evening and overnight we start to imports and showers coming up from france, they cross the channel islands, getting in across the southern counties of england, southwest wales, and by the end of the night into northern ireland. then we have a new front coming into the south—west. the overnight temperatures are fairly interesting. ranging from 10— 15. more reminiscent of what we would expect as an afternoon maximum at this stage in october. through because of thursday, the first line of showery rain moves north, then the second band of heavy rain comes from the
6:48 am
south—west and moves north eastwards, accompanied by gusty winds. when the showers clear in east and before the rain arrives we will see sunshine. it will still be warm in use, but not particularly special in the west. by friday morning already will have strong winds across northern ireland. up to 70 mph. we have some heavy rain coming our way as a deep area of low pressure m oves coming our way as a deep area of low pressure moves across the british isles. we could see some disruptive weather through because of friday, with the combination of the strong winds and also the heavy rain. the strongest winds are likely to be in parts of the west, particularly with exposure, in the northern ireland will —— northern isles we could have thusin will —— northern isles we could have thus in excess of 80 mph. there are weather warning is out for this. they are on the website. do check. thank you very much. it's world mental health day today and some of the uk's biggest banks and law firms have come together to do more to improve their workplaces. victoria has more on this. victoria? that think they have been talking
6:49 am
about, long hours, e—mails and phone cold on your holiday, that sort of thing. maybe unfair delegation of tasks —— cold. these things are voidable issues at work that cause unnecessary voidable issues at work that cause u nnecessa ry stress voidable issues at work that cause unnecessary stress on workers. as a result they can, they admit, cause mental health issues in their workers. the likes of hsbc, ba rclays, workers. the likes of hsbc, barclays, and workers. the likes of hsbc, ba rclays, and others workers. the likes of hsbc, barclays, and others have got together with the magic circle law firms to try to create a charter to change working practices at those firms to make things a bit easier for their staff. 0ne firms to make things a bit easier for their staff. one of the law firms, one of the people works for them is graham wallace, he suffers from anxiety, he wants to get things spot—on and worries about detail, for example. he has decided to speak to us at breakfast and talk to us
6:50 am
about his experiences of mental health in the workplace. in the run—up to when i was off, getting through my work and doing everything that i was required to do, but underneath the toll on my mental health was clocking up. eventually, i reached a stage where i completed one transaction that had been extremely stressful and once the adrenaline had dissipated i went home, about a week later woke up and could not get out of bed. i was in floods of tears. i did not know what was happening. i went to the doctors and they signed me off. people are aware that i do occasionally have issues with mental health, so they are alive to it. i have been able to speak openly and honestly about it, thatis speak openly and honestly about it, that is really helpful. in fact, it is essential. it is very brave for someone to say that staff. the counter argument, in a way, is that there are some workplaces, city
6:51 am
workplaces involving finances, other workplaces involving finances, other workplaces you can think of comedy help in hospitals, they are difficult places to work in. that remains a fact —— think of, health in hospitals. you cannot change the work people have to do. but you can change the parameters in which they are operating. make things more structured and police the boundaries better. this is what the firms are doing, what they are saying they're going to do. this is that an issue for young men. when a suicide is still the biggest killer for men under 45 still the biggest killer for men under45 in still the biggest killer for men under 45 in this country. men are more likely to struggle with mental health issues. it is good news that places like finance, the construction industry, engineering, infrastructure groups, they are trying to push on this, lots of different karpany try to do things workers. the group of bosses in charge of hs2 say they want more open work to —— companies. we have
6:52 am
heard that from london, north—eastern railway, are partnered —— partnering for drivers who are there when people decide to kill themselves by throwing themselves on themselves by throwing themselves on the line, a huge issue for their staff. airbus, a mix, doing forums on mental health. i have been asking people about their expenses on social media. they have said it is great if we have a more open work culture and more literacy when it comes to mental health in the workplace. ultimately, they would not feel comfortable talking to their boss, perhaps, ortalking not feel comfortable talking to their boss, perhaps, or talking to their boss, perhaps, or talking to their employees, even, about the fa ct their employees, even, about the fact that they might be struggling at work. even if there were these policies in place, do they have the confidence they will be policed properly and there will not be sidelined as a result of speaking out? we are going to talk about that quite a lot this morning. thank you. an iconic landmark in the north—east of england, the tyne bridge, which spans newcastle and gateshead, is 90 years old today. it was officially opened in 1928 by king george v — and has since become a defining symbol of tyneside. fiona trott has been looking back on its history. over 7000 tons of teeside steel,
6:53 am
and if you think the bridge looks tough, just watch the shipyard workers who built it. for the royal opening, thousands flocked to the quayside. king george v's carriage was the first to cross it. now, 90 years later, over 57,000 vehicles cross it everyday. and the red arrows fly over it, a celebrated moment. it is no surprise that visitors from all over the world photograph this tyneside landmark and that it has now become a grade two star listed structure. it is really a very special bridge. they had to build out from each side and meet in the middle. there are some historic photos of them actually building the bridge and there is no scaffolding, there is barely a rope, and it looks quite terrifying, to be honest. but i think it is really a reflection of that geordie steel
6:54 am
attitude that they were able to build in a very clever way at that time. meet the residents of the tyne bridge. over 1000 kittiwakes arrive here every year. they are not welcomed by everybody, but conservationists say they are significant. i think they have really become a part of this iconic landscape with the bridges and the rivers, part of the heritage of gateshead. you could compare them to the tower of london having its ravens. people do come from overseas and across the country to see them, and this was a rare listed declining seabird, so tyne bridge is also part of the overall conservation effort for this species. this is a rare glimpse inside the north tower, and you can hear the four lanes of traffic above us. in its 90 year history, people have wanted to build apartments in here, a restaurant with a glass bottomed pool, and a couple of years ago, over 100 people broke in and used it
6:55 am
for an illegal rave. this bridge is a defining symbol of newcastle and gateshead, and college students on both sides of the river told us what it means to them. i think it is just a great symbol of notjust newcastle and gateshead itself, but all of the north—east. when i come home, i know this is home, i know i am nearly there. i think the design and engineering are really fascinating to me when i come here. it gives me goosebumps when i look at it, especially when you see the red arrows going over the top of it as well. it is absolutely fantastic. in the 19205, this bridge represented strength, innovation, and a geordie pride that continues today. fiona trott, bbc news. lots of people would be surprised it is 90 years old. absolutely. we'll be back in a few minutes. this time to get the news, travel, and whether
6:56 am
where you. good morning from bbc london news, with me, alice salfield. rental survivors will be given special screening to examine smoke inhalation. —— grenfell. up to £50 million of nhs money will be provided for longer—term treatment for those affected by the grenfell tower tragedy. the funding will be used to help support people's mental health. homes in the barbican and golden lane estate in the city of london have been given conservation status. residents pushed to have the brutalist buildings protected and planning leaders voted unanimously in favour of the move. it means it will now be more difficult for new developments to take place in the are area. the iconic blocks were built in the aftermath of the second world war, and are home to almost four thousand people. it's set to be the most ambitious road project since the m25 opened 30 years ago, and will include the uk's longest road tunnel. highways england have unveiled their plans to reduce pressure on the dartford crossing, with a major road linking the m2
6:57 am
in kent to tilbury in essex. a ten week consultation on the project will start today. if you're travelling through london's busiest stations today, you may come across some of these. the life—size statues of british soldiers are part of a campaign to mark a hundred years since the end of the first world war. chelsea pensioners and serving personnel will appear alongside the silhouettes in a bid to raise a million pounds in a day. and if you do spot one of these while travelling around london today you might also be interested in the travel situation, so let's take a look now. first, the tubes: the bakerloo line has no service between queens park and piccadilly circus because of a person on the track. the circle line has minor delays after a signal failure earlier. and the 0verground has severe delays surrey quays to clapham junction because of a signal failure there too. 0n the roads, the a24 tooting high street is closed at tooting broadway tube station because of a collision. and in fetlham: hounslow road
6:58 am
outside feltham station has temporary traffic lights for long term roadworks. time now for the weather with kate. good morning. a beautiful start to another beautiful day to day. feeling a little bit warmer, believe it or not, then yesterday. some mist this morning, parts of south london and surrey. it will lift quickly to a day of sunshine and warmer temperatures. the mist lifted by the south—easterly breeze and then we are in for a day of blue sky and sunshine. through the afternoon, temperatures likely to be warmer than yesterday, responding well to that sunshine. looking at 23 or 24 celsius. 0vernight, a clear start. the cloud increasing. one or two showers potentially, clearing away coming into thursday morning. and mild night. 13-15dc. for tomorrow, predominantly dry and fine with temperatures still pretty warm. more cloud moving in. we could see some rain overnight
6:59 am
thursday into friday. we pick up quite a strong breeze for friday. a windy day. temperatures not as warm but it is dry with sunshine. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to naga and charlie. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: trying to tackle mental health — as the government announces the first ever minister for suicide prevention, critics say people are still being failed by a lack of provision. i'm looking at how businesses
7:00 am
are trying to relieve the mental pressure on workers, as some of the uk's biggest banks and law firms agree to change their culture to combat stress at work. the us prepares for hurricane michael — hundreds of thousands of people have been ordered to evacuate their homes. england's newest star, 18—year—old jadon sancho, says he is living the dream as he prepares to become the first full england international born since the year 2000. 90 years after it first opened, we'll look back on the history of the tyne bridge. good morning from severndroog castle in greenwich. it was used in the wall—to—walls as a lookout point. —— world war. for all of us after we lose mist and fog it is going to be sunny and warm and breezy. i will have more in 15 minutes.
7:01 am
good morning. it's wednesday, october 10. our top story: theresa may has appointed england's first ever minister for suicide prevention, as part of a package of measures aimed at reducing the number of people who take their own lives. suicide remains the leading cause of death among men under the age of 45 and around 4,500 people take their own lives every year in england. mental health charities say the plans don't go far enough. 0ur health correspondent sophie hutchinson reports. the duke and duchess of cambridge showing their support for the global summit on mental health, which is under way today. today, to mark world mental health day, ministers are focusing on suicide prevention. rates are falling, but 4,500 people still take their lives in england each year. the government is announcing new funding for the samaritans to ensure the helpline remains free for the next four years, and a new title for health ministerjacqui doyle—price, to become the uk's first minister for suicide prevention. it's hoped the new role will help
7:02 am
tackle the stigma around suicide. but the mental health charity sane has said, while it welcomes the intention, many patients in uk are left untreated and in crisis because there's no treatment available. i recognise that the treatment on mental health in the nhs to date has not always been as good as it needs to be. from next year, the government says it will also publish an annual report focusing on young people's mental health. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. we'll be talking to the health secretary matt hancock about that story in about ten minutes' time. four former northern ireland secretaries have urged the government to prioritise supporting victims of the 30—year conflict, instead of funding for new investigations into the troubles. ministers are consulting on setting up a new historical investigations unit, to pursue prosecutions for around 1,700 killings. however critics argue that £150 million would be better spent on compensation for victims rather than further investigations. at least four people have died
7:03 am
and a further 15 people are said to be missing following flash flooding on the spanish island of mallorca, local media is reporting. the town of sant llorenc was hit by a sudden storm yesterday evening and videos posted online showed cars being washed away in muddy floodwater several feet deep. 80 emergency rescue workers from the spanish military have been sent from valencia to help with the relief effort. meanwhile, a state of emergency has been declared across three us states as category three hurricane michael looks set to make landfall later today. florida's governor has draughted in troops and ordered the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of residents. 13 people have already been killed by the storm across central america. 0ur news correspondent lebo diseko has more. battening down the hatches for what florida's governor is calling a "monster storm". half a million coastal residents have been told to get to higher ground.
7:04 am
ferocious winds, around 30 centimetres of rain, and storm surges as high as a single—storey house are expected. this storm is dangerous. and if you don't follow warnings from officials, this storm could kill you. and you cannot take it lightly. you cannot hide. there is no way to hide from a storm surge. it's impossible. so get prepared and get out if an evacuation is ordered. every family must be prepared now. there are states of emergency in 35 of florida's 67 counties, as well as parts of georgia and alabama, too. there are fears about the impact on areas are still recovering from hurricane florence last month. but despite the warnings, not everyone is leaving town. i will just hunker down. we have been through so many storms. and the media sometimes gets things a little bit, you know, crazy. and, you know, peoplejump and run, you know, they should do that.
7:05 am
but we've just been through so many that we're comfortable staying. so we're going to. and we've got enough food and generator gas. so we'll be just fine. fuel supplies are already running low as the region prepares for the coming days. and with michael forecast to be one of the strongest storms in decades, it might be quite some time before things on these shores return to anything like life as people know it. lebo diseko, bbc news. indonesian officials say the search for victims of last month's earthquake and tsunami will end tomorrow, despite the fact thousands of people are still unaccounted for. the disaster struck sulawesi almost two weeks ago, with the city of palu worst affected. the official death toll is currently more than 2,000, but around 5,000 people are still missing, feared dead. 0ur asia correspondent nick beake reports. after the horror, so many survivors fled without looking back.
7:06 am
but others say they're going nowhere. that night after night they will endure the misery inflicted upon them until somehow it begins to fade. "i have a family." "what can i do?" this man tells us. "but no matter what, i will stay." "i will never leave palu." at the few homes not obliterated by the tsunami in this part of the city, they still won't go back inside. they keep watch, fearful of a repeat. when night falls here in palu, the extent of the destruction is still clear to see, because the wreckage and the rubble is illuminated by these fires, which burn all along the coastline here. but with the darkness comes fear. because it's the time of the day tabita watched the water pummel
7:07 am
everything in its thunderous path. translation: it is scary. when night comes, like now, we fall silent and just stare towards the horizon. but it's empty, there are no more buildings. as well as shelter, the people of palu need food, medicine and ongoing psychological support. ten—year—old fasel says he just wants to play with his friends again and forget what he witnessed. translation: i am just so sad that i saw people crushed by the buildings, dragged away by the water, and buried by the mud. the remotest of communities with the greatest of need and, as outside attention drifts away, they pray they won't be forgotten. nick beake, bbc news, palu. inequality is rising and the threat
7:08 am
of a trade war could "significantly harm global growth". that's the warning about the state of the world economy from the international monetary fund. 0ur economics editor kamal ahmed joins us from the imf‘s annual meeting in bali. so, kamal, people might be forgiven for being a little confused when they hear these warnings and people looking at the future and the world economy, just put this in context for us. well, as often is the case, charlie, just as at the time things look like they are getting better, things, institutions like the imf have warned of the things could get worse and, really, theirjob is an early warning system and, as you set before you came to me the issue is
7:09 am
the trade issue between different countries, particularly america and china, the trade barriers, a trade war, could really damage global growth and the imf is saying that, just like in 2008, the key word was cooperation between countries to save the global economy, we will need that again. and in 2018, with the cooperation really be there? it is also saying that central banks must be ready with more quantitative easing, that's money printing, to help the economy if there is at the dislocation, and also talks about brexit. we are saying these things won't definitely happen, but people need to be aware that there are still big risks out there. kamal, for the moment, thank you. the children's commissioner for england anne longfield says she's seriously concerned about a rise in the use of segregation in young offender institutions and secure training centres. a report from the commissioner, seen by bbc news, shows that children in england and wales are also being held in isolation for longer periods, with some being separated from other inmates for three months.
7:10 am
0ur hame affairs correspondent danny shaw explains. what happens when young people in custody are a danger to others or themselves? increasingly, they're held in rooms or cells in isolation for hours, days, or even weeks. a report on segregation found it had been used in young offender institutions 73 times per month. that's up from 51 times in 2014. the average length of segregation doubled to 16 days, with a total of 709 children kept in isolation in the youth custody estate in the first six months of the year. children's commissioner anne longfield, who wrote the report, says there's a growing consensus segregation is inherently unsuitable. she says there is evidence that it can cause long—term harm to mental health and development. campaigners are also concerned. the psychological experience of being

kept from other human beings in such a way, on, what, children who might be as young as 15, is very damning and serious, and potentially very damaging. the ministry ofjustice says there are strict safeguards of segregation and says it's only used as a last resort. danny shaw, bbc news. perhaps you need some inspiration for a wednesday warm—up, then look no further. charlie? no. oh! freestyle skier andri ragettli set up this course as part of his training. this is a man who is committed to being fit and good balance. we've sped it up a wee bit but it gives you some idea of how tricky it is. he made it to the end after no less than 53 attempts. here we go — boom.
7:12 am
i like the finnish. i liked all of this, it was fabulous —— finish. we will have the weather for you in a few minutes' time. let's return to our top story now, and the first ever "suicide prevention minister" has been appointed in england, as part of plans to help the 4,500 people who decide to take their own lives every year. suicide rates are falling but as we've been hearing this morning, the health secretary himself believes that nhs mental health treatment has not been good enough to date. so what's he going to do about it? is a "suicide prevention minister" the answer? let's ask him, matt hancock. welcome to the programme. so, suicide prevention minister, tell us what the role will entail? well, on my team we will have a minister whose role and responsibility will be to ensure we've got the support in place to reduce the amount of suicides. as you say, the rate has
7:13 am
been coming down. it is the lowest for seven years. but we think that mental health support and prevention of mental illness and is to be put on par with physical health. there isa on par with physical health. there is a long road to travel to get there. but they are quite desperate at the moment and there is not enough support for mental health services. we only really started measuring access to mental health services in the last couple of yea rs. services in the last couple of years. that measurement shows that much more needs to be done. the prime minister has allocated £20 billion extra per year for the prime minister has allocated £20 billion extra per yearfor the nhs, that's her top spending priority and at the moment we are writing the long—term plan for how that money should be spent, and mental health is one of our priorities. ok and i understand the pm has pledged 1.8 million to the samaritans for the
7:14 am
charity to provide a free helpline. £20 billion extra a year for the nhs, you've given the minister a new brief but you haven't given the minister annie idea of the budget, how useful is that? -- any idea. we are in the middle of deciding what they should be so that's exactly the right time to have a new minister so that she can argue for this cause, alongside, you know, among the other good causes to spend taxpayer money on, within the nhs. so, you know, having the support of jacqui doyle—price with the specific focus on suicide prevention as we write this long—term plan alongside the nhs themselves, i think it's very good time. her first job as minister is to argue for the money for the brief you've told her she needs to look after. yes, and i'm obviously very supportive of her doing that. and it is also timely because today
7:15 am
we've got the first global mental health ministerial summit. people from all around the world. essentially, these challenges are affecting us all. as the world changes so that, for instance, the world of work is less about physical capability and more about mental capability, and the future will be more and more about emotional intelligence, emotional capability, so we need to make sure the nhs switches to focus on support for people's mental health alongside physical health. as health and social care secretary you talk to lots of people in the nhs and mental health services and charities of course, jeremy hunt in january health services and charities of course, jeremy hunt injanuary said he wanted a zero suicide rate in mental health wards, you've spoken to people who say we need this much money. if money were no object, how much realistically do we need in order to effectively tackle the problem of mental health issues and suicide? well, that's a really good
7:16 am
question, but money is an object. suicide? well, that's a really good question, but money is an objectm it wasn't, because we need a target. it is all well to say we have an extra 20 billion and part of that will be siphoned. what is the reality of the problem? one way to look at it is this — access to mental health services in a decent amount of time happens about one in four cases. now, if that was the case for a physical illness, like, i don't know, cancer or a hip operation, then people would rightly say not good enough. and so, with mental health services, i say that level of access is not good enough. but it gives you sort of a sense of the scale of the gap between the provision for mental health services and for physical health services. now, this isn't something you can solve overnight. as i say unto a couple of years ago we didn't even measure it. and, hence, writing a
7:17 am
long—term plan with the extra money alongside it, in order to make sure that we get on much, much further down that road to parity between mental health and physical health. pa rt mental health and physical health. part of it is also about how we talk about it. t practical then. if we can't talk about money or put an exact figure on the money than —— letters be practical. there is a family, they are concerned about the child who has mental health issues, or another family member. they have been to see a gp, they have been referred to a mental health professional, how soon, what guarantee can you give that there will be treated within weeks rather than months? that was exactly the answer i was going to give. i want them to be seen within
7:18 am
weeks rather than months, and crucially i want them to be seen within their own local area, as close to home as is possible. how many weeks is ideal? the answer to that will be part of the plan. we will work out with the clinicians because advice exactly what that target should be —— clinician's advice. we will make sure we have the resources in place to back it up. iwant the resources in place to back it up. i want them to be seen as close to home as is feasibly possible. that is not always happen now. we wa nt to that is not always happen now. we want to make sure that the extra resources in short people can be seen close to home. can you give us a time that we can talk to you again on breakfast where you will have an idea of how many weeks, the exact plan, and the exact budget for the new ministerfor the plan, and the exact budget for the new minister for the prevention of suicide? yes. the long-term plan will be out before christmas, probably next month. and that will have these details that we are working on right now. ok. hopefully we will speak to them. matt hancock,
7:19 am
thank you forjoining us. there is a young lady sort of trapped in the turret of a castle. has she got long air? she is smiling but she has information for us. bless you. thank you for calling me a young lady as well. it is lovely this morning. we are at severndroog castle in greenwich. we have the most stunning view across london and out towards the home counties as well. it is pretty breezy. talking of breezy, a quick update on hurricane mychal which will affect florida and the carolinas and georgia, it has intensified to a category 4 —— hurricane micheal. it isa category 4 —— hurricane micheal. it is a very powerful hurricane. back at home we have a breezy day ahead. we will lose any patchy mist and fog we currently have. we are also looking at a warm and sunny day with
7:20 am
temperatures well above where they should be at this time of year. you can see on our pressure chart that we have got a weather front pushing north—westwards. that is the weather front that has produced all be rain across scotland and northern ireland, in particular, for the past few days. that will go and brighten up few days. that will go and brighten up and the sun will go. that sun will be out. for most of us sunshine and breezy. the stronger sprees will be up high are all exposed to the coastline, particularly on the north sea. that will take the edge of the temperatures. the temperatures are above average for the time of year. widely we are looking at 19— 23. somewhere in the south—east we could hit 24. through the evening we start to import some showers. they will carry on through the night. across the english channel, into the south—west of england, southern counties into the midlands, wales, and northern ireland. by the end of the night and you weather front will be coming in across the south—west. look at those temperatures. roughly
7:21 am
10-15. look at those temperatures. roughly 10— 15. those would be the average temperatures we would expect at this stage in october. not the overnight minimums. tomorrow we start with a showery rain, moving northwards, some of that locally will be heavy and boundary. the next band of rain comes in from the south—west, windy around it —— thundery. some parts of the east will have some sunshine and feel quite warm. the high of 20 or 21. in the west, and not as pretty a picture. by the time you get to friday morning, already strong, gusty winds affecting northern ireland, up to 70 mph. a potent area of the pressure is coming our way friday. you can see all the rain associated with it. some of the rain will be heavy. the wind will be very strong. particularly in the west. some parts of the western isles could have gusts in excess of 80 mph. where ever you are on friday it will be windy. the met office has
7:22 am
some warnings out for this. you can check them out on the bbc weather website. they are all there. thank you very much. we will catch you later on. it really does look like the rapunzel story setting. we will look over the balcony, callout. maybe they will help you. laughter. my maybe they will help you. laughter. my air is not long enough. another 20 feet. see you later on. half of renters put money down on a property before they see a tenancy agreement, that's what victoria is talking about today, along with an update on the other stories about your money this morning. become edition for properties is so intense in some areas you want to snapit intense in some areas you want to snap it up straightaway —— the condition. but could you be taken advantage of? this is something of a russian roulette or a rental roulette. more than half of renters are being shown their tenancy agreement only after they have put the money down on the property. the survey of private renters in england
7:23 am
found that more than one third were only told about additional fees that they might have to be charged after stumping up the cash. today marks the end of a three—year trial of driverless cars in milton keynes. the city's grid—like layout — and wide pavements made it the ideal testing ground — but, it turns out, the robots don't find the roundabouts any easier than the rest of us. the project's leader has told wake up to money we could see driverless cars on the road within five years. new figures on travel show that one in six of us now goes on a holiday on our own. but its not simply as a result of having no—one to go with. increasingly, we are actively choosing to leave loved ones behind, in order to do what we want, and get a bit of hard—won ‘me time'. self—preservation comes top on the list of priorities, as more people believe that stress is affecting the quality of their lives. we'll be talking more about the steps businesses are taking to try
7:24 am
to improve workplace culture in about half an hour. that is it from me. back in half an hour. thank you very much. jersey now has some of the fastest broadband speeds in the world after the installation of a "full fibre" connection to 40,000 homes and businesses. many properties on the island are now directly connected to the network — meaning they have guaranteed high speeds. our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones is injersey for us this morning. we promised some lovely views. you are finally getting them now, now that the sun has broken. tell us about what is happening there. the sun has come out. carol has her own castle. we have a castle. elizabeth castle. i would have you swim to get out there, it is high tide. low tide you can walk along the causeway. we did that yesterday. a long causeway is running the fibreoptic cable that
7:25 am
brings fast broadband to just about everywhere on the island —— a long was little that they have brought it to every home, 40,000 homes across the island. 100% availability of fibre to the home. that compares with just 5% in the uk, fibre to the home. that compares withjust 5% in the uk, where it is set to become quite standard. jersey thinks we can learn a lot from what has happened on this island. they've all got it, from a castle where it arrives down a causeway which is under water at high tide... come on in, ladies, laptops out... ..to a girl's school where all the students and teachers rely on it in lessons. to the farm where all these jersey cows are arriving at a high—tech milking parlour. yes, they've all got fast fibre broadband, now available everywhere on the island. that is becausejersey has gone down a different route from the uk, taking fibre right into the home, rather than relying on a copper cable for the last stretch. in the uk the fibre is typically connected to a green cabinet in your street close to your home. it's as if a motorway is built
7:26 am
to the bottom of your road. in jersey the motorway is being built all the way into your home. the hope is that having a future proofed broadband connection will help all kinds of businesses, like lodge farm with its 200 dairy cattle. this may look like an old—fashioned kind of business, but it is benefiting from the fast fibre. each of these cows is effectively online, sending data to the cloud. this afternoon she has given just over eight litres of milk. the cows are sending data notjust to the farm's commuters but to a company in the uk, monitoring the performance of the milking equipment. it has improved our profitability and productivity. as problems arise we can sort them out within seconds. at this school every pupil has a small laptop connected to the fast wi—fi network. as you can see on your google classroom, you are going to be working in groups, 0k, small groups. all the lessons are stored online,
7:27 am
accessible at home as well is at school. 0n the whole system is now cheaper to run. it makes a huge difference. compared to schools i have been in in the past, the amount of time that is saved not only for myself in planning and printing time, but the access that the students have is just so quick and so instant you can put something on there, google classroom, they have it straightaway and they can start engaging immediately. which is fantastic. it hasn't been cheap to dig up the roads and put fibreoptic cables everywhere, but with the main telecoms company owned by the islands they have been able to take a long time view. nowjersey thinks it can teach the rest of us a few lessons about the fast fibre future. is not that cheap for the users. about £40 per month for the full broadband service —— it is not. you
7:28 am
cannot get a cheaper service because the copper network is being switched off, the old —fashioned the copper network is being switched off, the old—fashioned way of getting broadband. they think they have lessons for the whole of the uk, which is racing to catch up. the government has said this is a priority, everyone needs full fibre broadband. it is becoming essential in italy first century. thank you very much —— in the 21st century. it sounds fascinating. jersey, way ahead of the pack. more on that later on. we will have the news, travel, and whether right now. back good morning from bbc london news, i'm alice salfield. grenfell survivors and surrounding residents are to be given special screening to examine the effects of smoke inhalation and possible asbestos exposure. up to £50 million pounds of nhs money will be provided for longer—term treatment for those affected by the fire. the funding will also be used to help support people's mental health needs.
7:29 am
homes in the barbican and golden lane estates have been given conservation status. it means it'll be more difficult for new developments to take place in the area. residents campaigned to have the brutalist buildings protected — and planning leaders voted unanimously in favour of the move. the blocks were built in the 19505, and are home to almost 4,000 people. a new road tunnel linking kent and essex would almost double capacity across the river thames. that's according to highways england which has unveiled plans to reduce pressure on the dartford crossing — with a major road joining the m2 in kent to tilbury in essex. a ten week consultation on the project will start today. if you're travelling through london's busiest stations today, you may come across some of these. the life—size statues of british soldiers are part of a campaign to mark 100 years since the end of the first world war. chelsea pensioners and serving personnel will appear alongside the silhouettes in a bid to raise a million in a day. so if you are in london today look out for them —
7:30 am
and you might also want to know how the tavel‘s looking. first the tubes — the bakerloo line has severe delays between queens park and elephant & castle because of a person on the track earlier. and the 0verground has no service eastbound surrey quays to clapham junction, with severe delays westbound. southern trains have delays of up to 20 minutes between tulse hill and london bridge. and on the roads, the a24 tooting high street has just reopend at tooting broadway tube station after a collision there earlier. there are still delays in the area. time now for the weather with kate. good morning. a beautiful start to another beautiful day today. feeling a little bit warmer, believe it or not, than yesterday. some mist this morning, parts of south london and surrey. it will lift quickly to a day of sunshine and warmer temperatures. the mist lifted by the south—easterly breeze and then we are in for a day of blue sky and sunshine. through the afternoon, temperatures likely to be warmer
7:31 am
than yesterday, responding well to that sunshine. looking at 23 or 24 celsius. 0vernight, a clear start. the cloud increasing. one or two showers potentially, clearing away coming into thursday morning. and mild night. 13—15 celsius. for tomorrow, predominantly dry and fine with temperatures still pretty warm. more cloud moving in. we could see some rain overnight thursday into friday. we pick up quite a strong breeze for friday. a windy day. temperatures not as warm but it is dry with sunshine. i'm back with the latest in half an hour. plenty more news travel and weather on our website and our facebook apge though. now, though, it's back to naga and charlie. see you soon. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news.
7:32 am
theresa may has appointed england's first ever minister for suicide prevention as part of a package of measures aimed at reducing the number of people who take their own lives. the prime minister also pledged up to £1.8 million to safeguard the samaritans helpline. however, mental health charities say the plans don't go far enough. jackie doyle—price, who is already a junior health minister, will take on the additional role. it is exactly the right time to have the new minister so that she can argue for this cause alongside the other good causes to spend taxpayer money on within the nhs. having the support of jacqui doyle—price with the specific focus on suicide
7:33 am
prevention as we write this long—term plan alongside the nhs it is very good timing. four former northern ireland secretaries have urged the government to prioritise supporting victims of the 30—year conflict, instead of funding for new investigations into the troubles. ministers are consulting on setting up a new historical investigations unit, to pursue prosecutions for around 1,700 killings. however critics argue that £150 million would be better spent on compensation for victims rather than further investigations. florida, alabama and georgia have all declared a state of emergency as a category four hurricane looks set to make landfall later today. florida's governor has draughted in troops and ordered the evacuation of hundreds of thousands of residents, warning the storm could claim lives. at least 13 people have already been killed by hurricane michael across central america this weekend. at least five people have died and a further 15 people are said to be missing following flash flooding on the spanish island of mallorca, local
7:34 am
media is reporting. the town of sant llorenc was hit by a sudden storm yesterday evening and videos posted online showed cars being washed away in muddy floodwater several feet deep. 80 emergency rescue workers from the spanish military have been sent from valencia to help with the relief effort. the children's commissioner for england, anne longfield, says she's seriously concerned about a rise in the use of segregation in young offender institutions and secure training centres. a report from the commissioner, seen by bbc news, shows that children in england and wales are also being held in isolation for longer periods, with some being separated from other inmates for three months. the ministry ofjustice says there are strict safeguards on segregation and that it is used only as a last resort. those are the main stories this morning. sally is here now. we are talking about someone who is going to make us feel a little bit old today, 18—year—old jadon sancho to become the first england player born since the millennium. do you
7:35 am
remember when you got your firstjob and you were excited. yes. it makes me have utter flies that he would be feeling before his debut if he gets on in the next again. he is already playing for borussia dortmund, which is just playing for borussia dortmund, which isjust ridiculous. jadon sancho has been speaking for the first time since joining gareth southgate's squad. the 18—year—old borussia dortmund star says he's living the dream. 0ur sports correspondent katherine downs has been to the england training camp ahead of their nations league match against croatia. gareth southgate's newest star, with a name made for chanting, a name already sung in germany, jadon sancho snubbing the big money and big names at manchester city to sign for borussia dortmund and guarantee himself the chance to shine. a big risk but one that has paid off, and here he is part of the senior england squad. just got my opportunity on the pitch and hopefully i can show the world what i can do. and obviously people are taking
7:36 am
notice and i am just grateful. there are a lot of great young players out there. ijust think it is because they are so determined to play. and obviously to play in front of the world, i am just grateful that i am living that dream. england are the under 17 world cup winners. sancho already has a world cup winners medal to his name as part of the victorious under 17 squad last year. some say his senior call—up has perhaps come too soon but he is among his peers here. much has been made of his talent and of course his youth. remarkable perhaps, but if you consider the squad as a whole has an average age ofjust 23, he isjust a part of gareth southgate's bright new england. whether or not he can stand the scrutiny, set england hearts aflutter, will become clear when england take on croatia and spain on friday and monday.
7:37 am
for now he is already winning new fans. to arrive here atjust 18 it might not seem so far out of reach. england's womens manager phil neville has strongly criticised the state of international refereeing after his side drew 1—1 with australia in a friendly. england took the lead in the first half through chelsea's fran kirby, but were on the wrong end of some questionable decisions, having a goal disallowed and penalty appeals denied. australia equalised late in the game, but neville was left angry at what he'd seen. it is easy saying you can't criticise people within the women's game because it is the women's game, no, if the standards are not right, ijust criticised the players for not being ruthless enough and they have accepted it. i think for the women's game to get better we need to have conversations like this and be brave enough to come out and say that this needs to improve. we're just seven months away from the cricket world cup and this morning england continue their preparations as they take on sri lanka in the first one day international. england are the world's top side and go into the five match series as favourites, and that's a position they're relishing.
7:38 am
we like being favourites, that means you've been doing something right, so to have worked our way to the top of the ranking, i think the guys enjoy that pressure of being the number one side and people wanting to obviously beat us and, obviously going away playing international cricket is a tough challenge, coming here, but the favourite tag is not something that worries the side. it's been more than 40 years since a woman started a formula 1 race, but could a new motorsport series help find the next generation of stars? this morning a new women—only event is being launched in the hope of doing just that. the ‘w series' will start in 2019 and will involve drivers racing identical cars in six races across europe. britain's kyle edmund is currently in action in the second round of the shanghai masters. briton kyle edmund came through a tough test to beat filip krajinovic 7—5 6—3 in the shanghai masters first round. edmund was 4—2 and break point down in the first set when the umpire allowed a late challenge to a line call which went in his favour.
7:39 am
he took the game before levelling at 4—4 and went on to take the opening set. over in buenos aires the youth olympics are well under way uncovering many stars of the future. but i want to remind you of the olympics of 1984, this was john whitaker who with his brother michael was part of the british showjumping team that won silver. well, fast forward 34 years and this is jack whitaker, son of michael, nephew ofjohn, doing exactly the same thing at the youth 0lympics. silverfor him, following in his family's illustrious footsteps and receiving just a little word of congratulations. he likes to know what's happening. he is the boss. so you tell him what i am doing. what did he say? massively well done, really, he never says much, just very well done, good. i think ithinki i think i would say more than good. it is like at dynasty. totally. thank you. it's been announced that
7:40 am
strictly come dancing stars seann walsh and katya jones will return to the dancefloor on saturday to perform a charleston. there have been calls for the pair to quit or be fired, after they were pictured kissing last week, but the team behind strictly have stayed quiet about their future in the competition until now. so what does this all mean for the reputation of the show? pr specialist mark borkowski joins us now from our london newsroom now. very good morning and thank you for your time this morning. i suppose the first thing to say is this is a very big show, which is why it has a crossover in people talking about it now when you might not otherwise, what do you think about the position of those two in the show and what the bbc should do? correct, charlie, it isa the bbc should do? correct, charlie, it is a massive property, it is a great audience winner, it has reinvented to a certain extent sort of saturday evening entertainment, it pulls audiences from loads of demographics, so the noise and the
7:41 am
speculation around this and the sort of snog gate as it was called on social media between katya and seann isa social media between katya and seann is a huge amount of publicity. strictly has been going for a number of years, so keeping audiences engaged with the personalities and i might be slightly unfair to suggest it, some of the names this year are not the mega names they have attracted in the past, and seann isn't a real household name, so this isn't a real household name, so this isa isn't a real household name, so this is a huge amount of publicity, and, look, people make mistakes and there we re look, people make mistakes and there were reports of snogging on long lens, and it's very unfortunate for the families and the partners involved, but for the producers and for the channel it is a very good lump of publicity because here we are on wednesday, three days away, still talking about it, and there is going to be a lot of speculation for when theyjoin the show again and
7:42 am
dance. so all eyes will be watching. iam not dance. so all eyes will be watching. i am not quite clear, are you saying it isa i am not quite clear, are you saying it is a cynical ratings decision to keep them in, when, if it were a lower ratings show, they might have said, do you know what, they bet is time for you to step aside, is that what you're saying? -- that maybe it is time for you to step aside. it is big property and the bbc have to be careful what they do. i think they have been bewildered by the situation. and i think it is a difficult situation when you've got shall we say partners who are involved with the show. is the story bigger than the dance on saturday night? i think they are paralysed by making the wrong decision and they have been caught in the middle slightly here. damned if you do, dammed if they don't. if you look at the polls on papers and website there is a 50—50 split on people who
7:43 am
think they should be fired for the incident and people who said, look, we all make mistakes, keep dancing, it isa we all make mistakes, keep dancing, it is a story that keeps it going, it is a story that keeps it going, it is a story that keeps it going, it isa it is a story that keeps it going, it is a story that keeps it going, it is a story that keeps it going, it is a story that engages people more, and it has a love island effect, the famous itp format with the touch to the story that keeps people engaged. you have to protect the show and i think ultimately, with this show, the audience will decide, if they are, they have left it to the audience, if they are going to keep them in after sunday. iam going to keep them in after sunday. i am trying to think of this precedent, i guess it falls into the genre of entertainment, a bit of reality as well, isn't it, so is there a precedent for people being thrown off shows for things that haven't happened on the show? people haven't happened on the show? people have said things on big brother when it has been witnessed and have been problems, but on the whole broadcasters try to stay away from making morale at key decisions,
7:44 am
don't they? yes, of course they do —— morality decisions. what friends and families have been briefing that newspapers on, i am not sure that people like me have a true indication of the bottom line on this at the moment, but people feel they own the show in a sense, it has been so successful, it is sort of gentle entertainment in a world now where sex and violence seems to dominate the screens, so there is a sort of love affair with this show, and with its return, and i guess there is a segment who watched the show who would rather this more perhaps, shall we say, sordid, drunken snog story that was grabbed by the tabloid to stay out of the story. it will be interesting to see saturday night how they address the story, it is a big story, is it bigger than the dance itself as i say? bigger than the dance itself as i 7 i bigger than the dance itself as i say? i suspect both katya and seann have not been working as hard as
7:45 am
they could on their charleston routine because they are deliberating the ramifications of that unfortunate drunken snog. thank you for your time this morning. carol is at severndroog castle with a look at this morning's weather. when you take a look at this castle, and charlie was joking when you take a look at this castle, and charlie wasjoking earlier about you being rapunzel and letting daniel 0pare, when you see castles, this romantic feeling —— letting down your head. it is sunny you should say that. severndroog castle is in greenwich in london —— funny. we have stupendous views, as you can see. it is actually a folly, not a castle. it was built in memory of commodore william james by his wife. he was the son of a humble mill. he ran away to sea. he was very successful
7:46 am
at sea, eventually becoming a commodore of the fleet. he returned to the uk as a wealthy man, marrying a wealthy lady. sadly he passed away, had a stroke on his daughter's wedding day. his grieving widow built this in his memory, filled it with the memorabilia he had collected throughout his travels, and she could look at this from where she lived every single day as a reminder of her husband. so a lovely story. the weather today will also be lovely. the first thing this morning we have low cloud, patchy mist and bob to lift. when that lifts we will have a sunny, warm, and breezy day. all the rain we have had across northern ireland and scotla nd had across northern ireland and scotland of the past few days, courtesy of that weather front you can see, will move away into the atlantic. you can see that the isobars are quite close together and it will be breezy. today, sunshine on offer. temperatures at responding
7:47 am
accordingly. we are looking at 19, 20,21, accordingly. we are looking at 19, 20, 21, 22. temperatures down the north sea coastline, quite a noticeable breeze, quite a stiff one, 23 as you push down towards the south. 24 in the london area, to the north of london as well. it is normally about 14 or 15 in the south at this time. a big hike up. as we had through the evening and overnight you will start to see showers coming in across the english channel, the channel islands, parts of southern england, the midlands, southwest wales, and eventually into northern ireland. by the end of the night a new weather front will show its hand, bringing rain to the south—west. look at those temperatures, 10— 15, more like a maximum at this stage in october. tomorrow, the first band of showery rain moves northwards, clearing the east, allowing sunshine to come out. for eastern areas we will see quite a pleasant and warm day. in the
7:48 am
west, the weather front progressively moving north eastwards, with heavy rain in it. the wind will be strengthening as well. temperatures in the east 20, 20 one. in the west, lower. into friday morning, the wind will already be strong across northern ireland. gusting up to 70 mph. there is an area of low pressure coming in from the atlantic. it will bring a combination of strong winds wherever you are and heavy rain, moving right across the uk. it will be slower to get into the south—east. the strongest winds will be in the west. some parts having gusts up to 80 mph. anywhere in the uk it will be windy. the met office has some weather warning is out. they are on the website. thank you very much. we are talking about mental health issues this morning. in all areas of society, but specifically in the business world. exactly. talking specifically
7:49 am
about what is going on in banking and the legal profession. good morning to you. these are very high—pressure roles. they can cause a loss of stress. what is interesting today is that to coincide with world mental health day for the big banks and seven top law firms have pledged to do more to help mental health in their workplaces lot. we have grey mollusc who works in the glasgow office. he has decided to speak out about his expenses “— has decided to speak out about his expenses —— cranium. it was getting through my work and doing everything was required to do, but the toll on my mental health was clocking up. eventually i reached the stage where i completed this one transaction that had been extremely stressful and once the adrenaline had dissipated i went home, about a week later wake had dissipated i went home, about a weeklaterwake —— had dissipated i went home, about a week later wake —— worked up and could not get out of bed. i was in
7:50 am
floods of tears and did not know what was happening. when i went to the doctors they signed me off. people are aware i occasionally have issues with mental health. they are alive to it. i think they have been able to speak honestly and openly about it and that has been really helpful. in fact, it is essential. really brave. listening to him is clare francis, the director of savings and investments at berkeley is uk. they keep coming in. how common are stories like that in the banking world? i think they a common everywhere. mental health problems can affect anybody. within the banking world and the legal worlds, we associated perhaps with high stressjobs, long hours. ithink what we need to do is recognise that there may be times when that is the case, but actually we need to be making that the exception, rather than the norm and encouraging a healthy workplace where colleagues feel they are supported if they do
7:51 am
have periods of poor mental health. ba rclays is have periods of poor mental health. barclays is one of the banks that signed up to the mental health charter. do you really believe that the promises being made there, and being made by the other banks and big law firms, will make a real practical difference to the people working there? i think they. i think it isa working there? i think they. i think it is a good sign that the banks and law firms, with the people at the top of these carp and —— companies endorsing the recognition that we need to change the culture and support mental health and recognise the importance of work—life balance. technology is amazing, it means we can work really flexibly. the danger is you never switch. what we want to do is make sure that people are able to work in a way that suits them. i ama to work in a way that suits them. i am a single working mum, i have a heart stopped because of charkha. sometimes i work in the evenings. if i send sometimes i work in the evenings. if isend an sometimes i work in the evenings. if i send an e—mail in the evening i am not necessarily expecting a response. my team know that. making sure that when people are on holiday
7:52 am
they are on holiday and are not expected to respond to e—mails or telephone calls. there is a phrase, if you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen. it is a really common attitude. i wonder whether or not people think it is par for the course in banking and commercial jobs like that, that actually you are expected to answer those calls when on holiday. you get an e—mail from your boss, even if you are the boss, and you seem lovely, you have got to respond, otherwise you are not keeping up. that is what we have got to change. in the days before mobile technology where you could not check and you are not co nta cta ble not check and you are not contactable out of hours, it was making people aware that they deserve time away from work as well. there may be periods of longer working hours were you need to be involved out of hours at the weekend, parts, equally, let us support people, keep people healthy. the other thing is making sure that if people need help and support they know where to get it and they feel
7:53 am
that they can speak openly at work. do you think that this is going to work. a lot of people are very uncomfortable about talking about mental health issues at work. what needs to happen for culture to really change and everyone to get on board with this? this is an issue across the board nationally. we have heard about all the statistics to do with the numbers of suicide and lost days of work through people with mental health problems. we all have mental health problems. we all have mental health. we have periods when we have poor mental health. we should be able to talk about that as freely as we do physical health. we should not api lai about why we can't come into work today. we should not have to come in and pretend everything is ok —— and lie about. we need people to feel supported and have the confidence to be able to talk about it, if they need to. that is what we need to work on. initiatives like the act will not on their own solve the problem, but, together, if we become more aware of it that is how we
7:54 am
solve it and change the culture. k. great advice. clare francis, director of savings and investments at barclays. thank you very much. we have beautiful views across the country. we will see one of those now. 90 years old today. our reporter fiona trott is on the tyne bridge and has been looking at its history. good morning. good morning. it does not look bad for 90. the workers on a speech at a real sense of humour. under one of those pillars is a bottle of brown ale. it took them three years to build it. local men from the shipyards using ropes. 0ne build it. local men from the shipyards using ropes. one of them lost his life. it was terrifying work. over 7000 tons of teeside steel, and if you think the bridge looks tough, just watch the shipyard workers who built it. for the royal opening, thousands flocked to the quayside.
7:55 am
king george v's carriage was the first to cross it. now, 90 years later, over 57,000 vehicles cross it everyday. and the red arrows fly over it, a celebrated moment. it is no surprise that visitors from all over the world photograph this tyneside landmark and that it has now become a grade two star listed structure. it is really a very special bridge. they had to build out from each side and meet in the middle. there are some historic photos of them actually building the bridge and there is no scaffolding, there is barely a rope, and it looks quite terrifying, to be honest. but i think it is really a reflection of that geordie steel attitude that they were able to build in a very clever way at that time. meet the residents of the tyne bridge. 0ver1000 kittiwakes arrive here every year. they are not welcomed by everybody, but conservationists say they are significant.
7:56 am
i think they have really become a part of this iconic landscape with the bridges and the rivers, part of the heritage of gateshead. you could compare them to the tower of london having its ravens. people do come from overseas and across the country to see them, and this was a rare listed declining seabird, so tyne bridge is also part of the overall conservation effort for this species. this is a rare glimpse inside the north tower, and you can hear the four lanes of traffic above us. in its 90 year history, people have wanted to build apartments in here, a restaurant with a glass bottomed pool, and a couple of years ago, over 100 people broke in and used it for an illegal rave. this bridge is a defining symbol of newcastle and gateshead, and college students on both sides of the river told us what it means to them. i think it is just a great symbol of notjust newcastle and gateshead
7:57 am
itself, but all of the north—east. when i come home, i know this is home, i know i am nearly there. i think the design and engineering are really fascinating to me when i come here. it gives me goosebumps when i look at it, especially when you see the red arrows going over the top of it as well. it is absolutely fantastic. in the 19205, this bridge represented strength, innovation, and a geordie pride that continues today. fiona trott, bbc news. let me introduce you to shaun wilkinson. which came first, the syd ney wilkinson. which came first, the sydney harbour bridge or the tyne bridge? the sydney harbour bridge came first. it was still being built when this thing was opened, but being the bigger bridge it started first. it was the sydney harbour bridge. the same can't be behind it. which is why they look the same. we
7:58 am
have 90 female civil engineers coming to the quayside to mark the anniversary. do you know any women who worked on the tyne bridge? there was a dorothy buchanan, the first female member of the institute of civil engineers. she worked on both tho5e bridges. civil engineers. she worked on both those bridges. thank you very much for joining those bridges. thank you very much forjoining u5 those bridges. thank you very much forjoining us this morning. from a 90—year—old tyne bridge in gateshead, back to you. thank you very much. back with you later on. it looks magnificent there. everywhere the cameras are it look5 absolutely beautiful. there. everywhere the cameras are it looks absolutely beautiful.” there. everywhere the cameras are it looks absolutely beautiful. i hope it is lovely where you are this morning. time now to get the news, travel, and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alice salfield. grenfell survivors and surrounding residents are to be given special screening to examine the effects of smoke inhalation and possible asbestos exposure. up to £50 million of nhs money will be provided for longer—term treatment for those affected by the fire. the funding will also be used
7:59 am
to help support people's mental health needs. homes in the barbican and golden lane estates have been given conservation status. it's after residents campaigned to have the brutalist buildings protected. it'll now be more difficult for new developments to take place in the area. the blocks were built in the 19505, and are home to almost 4,000 people. a new road tunnel linking kent and essex would almost double capacity across the river thames. that's according to highways england which has unveiled plans to reduce pressure on the dartford crossing — with a major road joining the m2 in kent to tilbury in essex. we have been able to make the crossing three lanes in each direction, and not two, like it was. we have been able to reduce the alignment of the road, the level of the road down, so that the residents
8:00 am
will be less impacted by the operational noise. if you're travelling through london's busiest stations today, you may come across some of these. the life—size statues of british soldiers are part of a campaign to mark a hundred years since the end of the first world war. chelsea pensioners and serving personnel will appear alongside the silhouettes in a bid to raise a million pounds in a day. so if you are in london today look out for them — and you might also want to know how the tavel‘s looking. first the tubes — the bakerloo line has severe delays between queens park and elephant & castle because of a person on the track earlier. 0n the roads, in wapping you can see it's busy on the highway coming in to town approaching tower hill. and in fetlham: hounslow road outside feltham station has temporary traffic lights for long term roadworks. time now for the weather with kate. good morning. a beautiful start to another beautiful day today. feeling a little bit warmer, believe it or not, than yesterday. some mist this morning, parts of south london and surrey. it will lift quickly to a day of sunshine and warmer temperatures. the mist lifted by the south—easterly breeze and then we are in for a day

8:05 am
the government to prioritise supporting victims of the 30—year conflict, instead of funding for new investigations into the troubles. ministers are consulting on setting up a new historical investigations unit, to pursue prosecutions for around 1,700 killings. however, critics argue that £150 million would be better spent on compensation for victims rather than further investigations. the international monetary fund is warning that a trade war and growing tensions between china and america could "damage global growth." earlier, our economics editor, kamal ahmed, spoke to us from the imf‘s annual meeting in bali. the big issue is this trade issue between different countries, particularly america and china. these trade barriers, a trade war, could really damage global growth. the imf is saying thatjust like in 2008, when the key word was "cooperation" between countries to save the global economy, we will need that again,
8:06 am
and in 2018, would that cooperation really be there? it is also saying that central banks must be ready with more quantitative easing, that's money printing, to help the economy, if there is a big dislocation. also talks, of course, about brexit, saying these things won't definitely happen, but people need to be aware that there is still big risks out there. at least five people have died and a further 15 people are said to be missing following flash flooding on the spanish island of mallorca, according to emergency services. a storm hit suddenly yesterday evening and videos posted online showed cars being washed away in muddy floodwater up to nine inches deep. 80 emergency rescue workers from the spanish military have been sent from valencia to help with the relief effort as well as dogs trained to search for missing people. meanwhile, a state of emergency has been declared across three us states, as category 4 hurricane michael looks set to make landfall later today. florida's governor has draughted in troops and ordered the evacuation of hundreds
8:07 am
of thousands of residents. 13 people have already been killed by the storm across central america. 0ur news correspondent lebo diseko has more. battening down the hatches for what florida's governor is calling a "monster storm". half a million coastal residents have been told to get to higher ground. ferocious winds, around 30 centimetres of rain, and storm surges as high as a single—storey house are expected. this storm is dangerous. and if you don't follow warnings from officials, this storm could kill you. and you cannot take it lightly. you cannot hide. there is no way to hide from a storm surge. it's impossible. so, get prepared and get out if an evacuation is ordered. every family must be prepared now. there are states of emergency in 35 of florida's 67 counties, as well as parts of georgia and alabama, too. there are fears about the impact
8:08 am
on areas still recovering from hurricane florence, last month. but despite the warnings, not everyone is leaving town. i will just hunker down. we have been through so many storms. and the media sometimes gets things a little bit, you know, crazy. and, you know, peoplejump and run, you know, and they should do that. but we've just been through so many, that we're comfortable staying. so, we're going to. and we've got enough food and generator gas. so, we'll be just fine. fuel supplies are already running low, as the region prepares for the coming days. and with michael forecast to be one of the strongest storms in decades, it might be quite some time before things on these shores return to anything like life as people know it. lebo diseko, bbc news. indonesian officials say the search for victims of last month's earthquake and tsunami will end tomorrow, despite the fact thousands of people are still unaccounted for. the disaster struck sulawesi almost two weeks ago, with the city
8:09 am
of palu worst affected. the official death toll is currently more than 2,000, but around 5,000 people are still missing, feared dead. 0ur asia correspondent nick beake reports. after the horror, so many survivors fled without looking back. but others say they're going nowhere. that night after night, they will endure the misery inflicted upon them, until somehow it begins to fade. "i have a family." "what can i do?" this man tells us. "but no matter what, i will stay." "i will never leave palu." at the few homes not obliterated by the tsunami in this part of the city, they still won't go back inside. they keep watch, fearful of a repeat. when night falls here in palu, the extent of the destruction
8:10 am
is still clear to see, because the wreckage and the rubble is illuminated by these fires, which burn all along the coastline here. but with the darkness comes fear. because it's the time of the day tabita watched the water pummel everything in its thunderous path. translation: it's scary. when night comes, like now, we fall silent and just stare towards the horizon. but it's empty, there are no more buildings. as well as shelter, the people of palu need food, medicine and ongoing psychological support. ten—year—old fasel says he just wants to play with his friends again and forget what he witnessed. translation: i am just so sad that i saw people crushed by the buildings, dragged away by the water,
8:11 am
and buried by the mud. the remotest of communities with the greatest of need and, as outside attention drifts away, they pray they won't be forgotten. nick beake, bbc news, palu. the children's commissioner for england, anne longfield, says she's "seriously concerned" about a rise in the use of segregation in young offender institutions and secure training centres. a report from the commissioner, seen by bbc news, shows that children in england and wales are also being held in isolation for longer periods, with some being separated from other inmates for three months. the ministry ofjustice says there are strict safeguards on segregation and that it is used only as a "last resort". those are the main stories this morning. the weather is coming up and all but sport as well. right now
8:12 am
it is 8:12am. it's being called the "fry and turnbull effect" — a huge rise in the number of men being seen and treated for prostate cancer. the nhs chief simon stevens says our former colleague bill, and the broadcaster steven fry, are owed a "debt of gratitude" for speaking out about their own experiences, and prompting others to come forward. we'll be talking to bill in just a minute, but first let's have a look at how they chose to share their experiences. i was getting pains in my legs, my hips, particularly. and they would come and go. and i thought, "this is old age". eventually, the pains got so bad, i thought, well, i better go see my gp. he said, "well, i'mjust going to give you a blood test, just a sort of mot, just to check a few things out". the next morning, he called me and asked me to come in, pretty quickly. and the doctor said, "it's fairly clear from this that you have advanced prostate cancer". cancer, you know, in the end,
8:13 am
it's a word that rings in your head. cancer. "i've got cancer, good heavens, you're not a person who gets cancer". i mean, i know it's an old cliche, but you don't think it's going to happen to you. cancer is something that happens to other people. you're probably now looking into my eyes and seeing, "oh, yes, i can see, he's the kind of cancery person, i can see that, now". that's how one looks at people who got cancer. you always wonder, is there a particular smell, particular aura they give off? of cancer. what a horrible word it is. it's one of our real taboo words, isn't it? we can speak to bill now. good morning. how are you, sir? i'm not too bad, how are not so bad. the great effect to have had. you came out when it was the celebrity bake 0ff had. you came out when it was the celebrity bake off and what you are going through. when i said how are you, i'd genuinely meant it, how was
8:14 am
your health and how is your progress? and i really meant it when isaid progress? and i really meant it when i said not too bad, progress? and i really meant it when isaid not too bad, in progress? and i really meant it when i said not too bad, in the sense i did nine rounds of chemotherapy, which is a bit of a grind, to be honest. that finished a few weeks ago. the effects of the chemotherapy have been wearing off, which means my energy levels are back up and i feel a lot better, in that respect. i understand i still have the disease and we have an awfully long way to go, but for the moment, i'm feeling 0k. way to go, but for the moment, i'm feeling ok. it's charlie here, we have the official line which is nhs england paying tribute to you and stephen fry because of your bravery of coming out and talking openly about what has happened. was there a moment, anecdotally or whatever, that you realised you saying things is affecting people? was there a point on which you realised it was having an impact? is as soon as i went public, there was an enormous response on twitter particular, lots of people getting
8:15 am
in touch. firstly, to wish me well but also, people getting in touch, men saying they had been made, by their wives and family, to go and get a test because they had been putting it off. that was very gratifying. some people said it has done a lot of good, what you had to say. it wasn't my intention, originally. ijust say. it wasn't my intention, originally. i just wanted say. it wasn't my intention, originally. ijust wanted to make people aware that it can happen to you at a certain age. if you feel the warning signs, problems with your waterworks, unexplained aches and pains that won't go away, for heaven sake, get yourself tested. if you it early, that's much better than finding out too late. bill, there is that fear of being told there is that fear of being told there something wrong and it's the diagnosis. almost like i know i have to talk to someone about it if i have a problem, but ijust don't wa nt to have a problem, but ijust don't want to hear the answer. what was it like when you had the diagnosis? was
8:16 am
prostate cancer even in your mind? prostate cancer was not on my mind at all, as you saw in the clip, got at all, as you saw in the clip, got a call back from the doctor. it hadn't occurred to me. i got tested when i was cleared at 50. i didn't go to see a doctor for four years, probably my mistake that there was nothing i could feel that was wrong with me. when i got the announcement, as it is for most people, it was a bombshell. what do you say to people about dealing with that moment when you are told the news you don't want to hear? it is one of the hardest things you will face in your life. it will happen to hundreds of people today, not just told they happen to hundreds of people today, notjust told they have prostate cancer but other forms of cancer. you just have to push through it, really. it's a really numbing and shocking the moment, there's no two ways about it. the consolation is that the first days are the darkest days. if you just get through those,
8:17 am
and if you have people around you, after that, you can start putting into context. it's not great, not by any means at all. it's a constant thing on your mind. but if you just get through that first week or so, it will get a little better. stephen fry made mention in his comments, bill, but the medical teams he encountered and the praise he is given to them. it's an important point you mentioned a moment ago. if you catch things early, as medical science means they can do remarkable things. i have been told over and over again there are new treatment is coming out all the time. i'm getting wonderful treatment at the royal marsden hospital, i couldn't have been better treated. a diagnosis of cancer today is not a death sentence by any means. many, many people survive. 0ther death sentence by any means. many, many people survive. other people are now surviving for much longer than they would have, a decade or two ago. getting a diagnosis is not
8:18 am
the end of the world. i've got to say, bill, it's lovely to hear you talk about this stuff. it's in my head, this, can! fry and turnbull, it sounds like either a comedy act ora it sounds like either a comedy act or a solicitor‘s, trying to work out which it is. —— i can't work it out. was it can! fry and laurie before? i think turnbull and fry rolls off the tongue a little bit better. i'm not sure about the comic actor, he's much better at that sort of thing. but a song and dance routine occasionally might be an idea. but a song and dance routine occasionally might be an ideam but a song and dance routine occasionally might be an idea. is i a lwa ys occasionally might be an idea. is i always found it pretty funny sitting next to you, mr turnbull. you probably don't miss the early mornings but there is someone you might miss because you were throwing over to the weather for how many yea rs over to the weather for how many years between new two on this programme? i will give you the chance to do it again. and before on
8:19 am
the new channel. many years. i would love to. is it a new person? it's a new b! all right! —— it is a new person. the sun is shining brightly in suffolk, it's a fantastic day but what's it's like for everyone else? let's find out from carol kirkwood. billy! we miss you, it's lovely to see you and i don't get introductions like that any more, neither do i get, "just get on with it". it is a pleasure to see you. it isa it". it is a pleasure to see you. it is a good introduction from bill because that is what it is right across other parts of the uk. there is some early morning mist and fog around, some low cloud as well. it will lift and break and then we will see some sunshine. today, it's going to be quite warm for this time of year. and it will be breezy. we have
8:20 am
a weather front on our charts, pushing away up the north—west, taking its rain with it with it as it does so. a lot of rain across parts of scotland and northern ireland in the last few days. this morning, the sun is already coming out for many of us. if you haven't lost your mist and fog and low cloud, you will but the sunshine is the order of the day. noticeable breeze, not as windy across northern england and northern ireland and scotland ka baddi yesterday england and northern ireland and scotland kabaddi yesterday that a keen breeze coming down the north sea coastline which will take the edge of the temperatures —— compared to yesterday. temperature is spectacular, 19 to about 23. locally, somewhere in the south—east we could hit 24. this evening and overnight we will import showery outbreaks of rain across the english channel, coming across the south, south west, part of the midlands, wales and northern ireland. by the end of the night, a new weather front will show its hand in the
8:21 am
