good morning, welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and jon kay. our headlines today... warnings of travel disruption and floods as storm callum brings a second day of heavy rain and strong winds to parts of the uk — thousands are without power in south wales. good morning. there's more rain to come today, particularly for wales where we still have that amber warning. it's another windy day. meanwhile across eastern parts of england, we could see temperatures up to 25 celsius. all the details in the 15 minutes. the head of the united nationsjoins calls for a proper investigation into the disappearance of a saudi journalist at the country's consulate in istanbul. in sport, an empty feeling on and off the pitch, as england draw 0—0, with croatia in front of no fans, part of a punishment for the croatian fa. and the awkward question at the royal wedding for the duchess of york. are you a princess?

yes! it's saturday 13th october. the weather is our top story. parts of the uk are facing a second day of travel disruption and flood warnings as storm callum continues to bring heavy rain and strong winds to many areas. one village in south wales has spent the night on evacuation alert because of rising flood waters — and passengers had to be rescued from a train yesterday after it became stranded. ben ando reports. gently, a man in his 90s is stretchered up a steep bank by firefighters — the last passenger to be rescued from a train left stranded by flooding after the river cynon burst its banks at penrhiwceiber, nearaberdare. earlier, those on the train had recorded the waters rising around them as they waited for help. very dangerous for the train to move forwards or backwards at that point in time. the rail incident officer from network rail quickly assessed

the validity of the line and made a decision at that point that it was wiser to evacuate the passengers rather than attempt to drive the train through floodwater. south wales has had the worst of storm callum so far. roads are closed, trains are cancelled and thousands of homes have been hit by power cuts as high winds and heavy rain caused waters to rise and trees to fall. residents of this row of houses in aberdulais have been advised to leave and the rest of the village is on standby to evacuate, too, if conditions worsen. there were high winds and high seas elsewhere too. here at penzance in cornwall, and on the west coast of ireland. the forecasters and the emergency services are continuing to monitor storm callum on its slowjourney north and there could well be more delays, disruption and damage for those on the west side of the british isles. ben ando, bbc news. jason evans from south wales fire rescue service joins us now.

thanks forjoining us. tell us about what is the mike overnight? good morning. it's been particularly busy overnight. from 1800 last lap, we've had 64 flood related and whether related incidents —— last night. this is predicted to increase this morning when people rise and seedy floodwater. —— seedy floodwater. we've got 29 flood warnings in place, and 41 flood alerts where flood is possible. it's worst in the western regions of wales at the moment especially in the ayn rand food area. the eastern area of wales, there are issues in the

rhondda area ammanford ——. wales, there are issues in the rhondda area ammanford --. what type of incidents, what are people calling you for? lots of whether incidents, we've had incidents where a train has been marooned between some stations, we evacuated 31 people from train is using the lines and walkways. we've had water rescues overnight, particularly from the cardiff bay area, the pontypool area and people marooned in vehicles as well driving through floodwater, being rescued by us before the rest you started. you've had all of these calls, and there could be things going on, you have a busy day ahead, what is your advice to people? going on, you have a busy day ahead, what is your advice to people ?|i advise people at the moment, the weather petition eilidh macleod -- it —— it will not improve, listen to updates from the tv and the met office. 0nly travel when unavoidable and be vigilant not to drive through

floodwater. that is where we are experiencing some issues at the moment. keep away from the shores and rivers and consult the national resources wales website where you can get up—to—date information about the area. but pick up on the point about driving super report, people putting their lives at risk? people have been driving the cars are being marooned, one incident in the aberdare valley where the female was rescued from the top of the vehicle from four fleet of floodwater. she had to climb up onto the roof of the vehicle where she was rescued by fire and rescue service personnel. you are obviously having to work incredibly hard. thank you for your time and best of luck with the rest of the day, thank you. there will be a full weather forecast in the next few minutes so stay tuned for that

if you're on the western side of the uk that is badly affected. 0n the other side of the country, temperatures in the high 20s who is top seed to be. more details at six minutes past eight. the united nations secretary general, antonio guterres, hasjoined growing international calls to know the truth about the disappearance of a saudi journalist. turkey says it has evidence that jamal khashoggi was murdered inside saudi arabia's consulate in istanbul. but the country's interior minister described allegations as lies. 0ur reporter bill hayton has the details. jamal khashoggi walked through this door 11 days ago and was never seen again. leaks to localjournalists suggest turkish police have documented evidence that he was interrogated, tortured and murdered within these walls. translation: government officials say they are going to publish the evidence soon. police have all the evidence, except for one thing — where is the body? that is what they are investigating. as investigations continue

into what happened in these buildings, senior saudis have denied the claims. interior minister prince abdulaziz called them "baseless allegations and lies," but the head of the united nations says he is concerned about a breakdown in international law and order. i'm feeling worried with this apparent new normal because these kind of incidents are multiplying and it's absolutely central to make sure that the international community says clearly that this is not something that can happen. and the fact that khashoggi was an american resident has also put the us government in a difficult position. donald trump has said he won't cancel a $110 billion arms deal with saudi arabia, despite the allegations. the country is an important partner for western governments — many will attend a big investment summit there later this month. however, as several major media organisations and business leaders have already pulled out,

more may follow, depending on the news from istanbul. bill hayton, bbc news. patients are being urged to return crutches, walking frames and wheelchairs to the nhs, so they can be reused or recycled. £6.4 million was spent on new equipment last year. the department of health says the amnesty will help it save money and reduce the impact on the environment. at least eight climbers have died on a mountain in nepal after their camp was devastated by a violent snowstorm. it happened on mount gurja in the west of the country. some of the victims were members of a south korean expedition team. thousands of patients with incurable breast cancer are being denied a dedicated specialist nurse, according to a leading charity. three years ago, the government promised all cancer patients would have access to a designated nurse by 2020, but figures from breast cancer care show that almost three quarters of nhs trusts across the uk are not

providing them. the department of health said it is "committed to increasing the capacity" of specialist cancer nurses, but the charity says more needs to be done. fracking for shale gas could begin today in lancashire after a failed legal challenge against energy firm cuadrilla. one campaigner took his fight to the high court but lost the case. it will be the first instance of fracking in the uk since 2011 when it was linked with earth tremors felt nearby. there is still partying in the winter this morning. probably. -- in the wind morning. wedding celebrations will continue today for princess eugenie and jack brooksbank who married yesterday at st. george's chapel in windsor. the queen was amongst 850 guests at the ceremony and watched as the ninth in line to the throne was given away by her father — prince andrew. daniela relph has more. the very public first kiss as husband and wife

for princess eugenie and jack brooksbank. and the young bridal party coped well with all the attention on what was a blustery berkshire day. looking on was the bride's mother, sarah, duchess of york, very much back in the midst of the royal family on her daughter's wedding day. the ceremony was a mix of celebrity and royalty. alongside the queen and duke of edinburgh in st george's chapel were younger members of the royal family and showbiz friends of the newlyweds. i, eugenie victoria helena... ..take thee, jack christopher stamp... ..to my wedded husband. this is a wedding of several receptions and parties. yesterday, the couple left their first reception, hosted by the queen, in an aston martin. clearly not designed to accommodate a wedding dress. the car is one ofjust eight made for the james bond film spectre.

there was then an evening party hosted by prince andrew at his home within windsor great park. it was windsor‘s second royal wedding of the year — a more low—key affair, but with a familiar choreography. and it's not quite over. today comes the final celebration — a more informal party, rumoured to have a fairground theme. daniela relph, bbc news, windsor. lots of guests there, celebrity guests there including robbie williams. but it was his daughter theodora who made the headlines. she was clearly enjoying her big day at the royal wedding as a flower girl and was involved in a cheeky exchange with sarah, duchess of york. here it is. you'd expect robbie williams to have

a quietand you'd expect robbie williams to have a quiet and shy daughter, wouldn't you? chill. maybe not. what a great thing to ask. —— sure. two weeks after a devastating earthquake and tsunami hit the indonesian city of palu, major search and rescue operations are due to end. more than 2,000 people are known to have died and around 5,000 are still feared missing. the government says it has imposed the rescue deadline to stop the spread of disease. british aid worker madiha raza has just returned from the disaster zone — shejoins us now. thanks forjoining us. i know you have recently got back. give us a sense of what it was like out there: what did you see? complete and utter devastation. there was entire

villages destroyed, houses that have been broken in half, cars strewn about like toys. remnants of people's lives that were there once upona time, people's lives that were there once upon a time, just completely devastated and it was a matter of knowing that people were standing here, sitting here having meals with theirfamilies here, sitting here having meals with their families and their lives were turned upside down within seconds. it is difficult from here, in some ways, do get a sense of it. these are your pictures. when you arrive there, what were your initial thoughts of what you saw? as soon as i got off the airport in palu, part of the airport have been destroyed to the devastation was evident from the get go. there were beams hamming off, electric wiring coming coming off, electric wiring coming coming off, there were limited capacity on the airport —— beams coming off. you could see buildings completely destroyed and parts of let city

obliterated. entire villages were destroyed. i took these videos from my phone. you can see miles and miles of devastation. there were lots of people around the edges waiting for their loved ones to be extracted as well. that was probably one of the saddest things to see as well. it is only when you see those pictures, the scale, the huge area affected, that you get your head around the numbers of people affected and the numbers of people still missing. 77,000 people have been displaced, so the need for humanitarianism is needed and that's what organisations like muslim aid are doing their best. 66,000 houses we re are doing their best. 66,000 houses were destroyed and 77,000 people have been displaced. people are in need of food, shelter, water, hygiene, anything and everything that they need right now. it is a

desperate situation and where are people living right now? on the edges? in displacement camps, even when we were that there were no buildings or hotels, we were staying on the concrete and pavement at the same time. wherever they could find shelter. a lot of them grouped in communities in —— in displacement camps. we get that food and water. you were there with muslim age. how did you personally come to be involved in death. aid worker —— be involved in its? i have been an aid worker for a while. both long—term developments. we have beenin both long—term developments. we have been in indonesia there since the 2005 earthquake, we were there last month for the earthquake as well so we could respond quickly because we we re we could respond quickly because we were there and had been on the ground for quite a while. in that way it was great that we could be

there as soon as we could and help people desperate in need. looking at the impact they would need help for just weeks will they? absolutely. our response just weeks will they? absolutely. 0ur response plan just weeks will they? absolutely. our response plan is for about six months. we are looking to build transitional saltor is to get people back on their feet. —— shelters. there will be need for food, water, latrines and that kind of thing. it isa latrines and that kind of thing. it is a long—term rehabilitation for the future. how do you deal with it? you fly back home after the intensity of being there and i guess it's back to normal. but for year must take some processing as well?|j try must take some processing as well?” try not to make it... i try not to make it about me because it's about people but in a way, it's better for me to be there and help and it makes me to be there and help and it makes me proud in a way that the organisation i work for do fantastic

work on the ground. thank you for coming into cs and thank you for the pictures. —— coming in to see us. here's alina with a look at this morning's weather. lots happening today. we start off warm across east anglia and south—east england, close 20. it is another windy day with heavy rain. storm callum has cleared away northwards but it's storm callum has cleared away northwards but its left in its wake this slow—moving front and it's not going anywhere fast. it will bring a further heavy rain across south wales today particularly. i have an amber warning from the met office and could see more than an hundred and could see more than an hundred and 60 millimetres. this is the radar over 12 hours, you can see the rain piling in across south west england and now into scotland as well. the band of rain shifts slightly further north and west it but there is wales and south—east england, parts of northern ireland,

and southern and central scotland but ahead of it, plenty of sunshine. one or two showers ahead of that name. this is 4pm. notice the strength of the wind, gust of 15 mph, maybe 60 miles an hourfor western coast, range stretching through south—west england, into northern england, rain becomes patchy for northern ireland, the far north of scotland sees perhaps the driest weather. 12—14dc for scotland and northern ireland, 18—24 england and northern ireland, 18—24 england and wales, but in the sunshine, across central and eastern england, up across central and eastern england, up to 25. overnight, the rain goes across northern ireland, eases off and we see another pulse of heavy rain into south west england and wales later denied. mild across england and wales were 12—15dc 8— scotla nd england and wales were 12—15dc 8— scotland and northern ireland. into sunday, it eats tony mcrae with. fixing it goes ooh. we will

have —— they goes fresher further west. it starts to go north eastwards, behind it we see some sunshine dry conditions, light winds, it may linger across east anglia. notice the dip in temperature, the rain may still be around for the let with sunshine behind it, then it flips around, showers arrived and drier south and east. this evening, across iberia, this is hurricane leslie. it pushes its way into part of portugal and spain through this evening and overnight, bringing strong winds at here and heavy rain so it's notjust has seen the stormy weather at the moment. thank you. we will keep the cost that all morning. —— across that. you're watching breakfast from bbc news.

let's have a look at the newspapers. wrtier and broadcaster paul vallely is here to tell us what's caught his eye. first let's look at the front pages. they are dominated by the royal wedding. the second in a year. a picture of princess eugenie and her husband jack brooksbank kissing outside st george's chapel dominates the daily mail's front page. the guardian reports that there is a "huge concentration of toxins" around the site of the grenfell tower fire. the daily mirror focuses on the seann walsh and katya jones story about the strictly couple sharing a kiss. everyone will be watching their dance after they were caught kissing. the pair will return to the dance floor for the first time since the incident on saturday night. all eyes on bbc one, i think.

and the front page of the i is about the landmark ruling which means fracking is set to resume in the uk for the first time since 2011. good morning. ithink good morning. i think you are going to start with that? the fracking story in the letter i, and in the guardian. the fracking begins today, with a seven—year hiatus since it was attempted well the legal proceedings have gone on. the campaigners are still outraged about it. there is an interesting angle to it. there is an interesting angle to it which is the sense that because this is happening near a place nobody cares about, a depressed area in terms of economic, it must be a good thing, but the locals say it will disrupt our lives quite significantly. there's a sense if this was happening in the home counties, the government will be quite so cavalier about it. why do you say that? one of the things the guardian story points out is that

local authority has no control, whether in this goes ahead, it is down to the business secretary. there's a google track free lancashire glebe point out —— a group called frank free lancashire point out a democratic deficit, there is not a consideration of the consequences for locals, they feel. the locals feel passionately about it don't they? they had a report from the international climate change co nfe re nce international climate change conference just this week saying we need to reduce our dependency on oil is and this is another form of oil gas, another fossil fuel, and it will be better if we were turning out will be better if we were turning our attention to greener forms of energy rather than going for this. there is a statement from the ceo of cuadrilla saying if possible, this

will replace imported gas with lower emissions, economic benefit and security of energy for the uk. that is their argument for trying to go ahead with this. it is a fair argument in the context of fossil fuels but the point the campaigners are making are we should turn away from fossil fuels so is switching from fossil fuels so is switching from one to another doesn't address the deep—seated problem. from one to another doesn't address the deep-seated problem. let's turn oui’ the deep-seated problem. let's turn our attention to this extraordinary case, in saudi arabia. this piece in the financial times looks at business reaction, notjust governments, but business and industry given the importance of saudi arabia? saudi arabia is clearly important politically and economically. but it is interesting despite the all the saudi policy in the yemen where tens of thousands of people are dead and children at risk, is the fate of one man that has turned it. if you look at the

detail of it, the business community is more concerned about this than anything else. richard branson has pulled out of a big conference that was going to be called the davos in the desert, so has the boss of uber. they were talking about £1 billion investment in richard branson's space project. hooper and various other big —— uber and space project. hooper and various other big —— uberand other space project. hooper and various other big —— uber and other big business bosses are pulling out. and the media are pulling out in droves, the media are pulling out in droves, the los angeles times, economist, washington times, bloomberg, cnn, new york times, they'll all pulling out of this. it is interesting the fate of one man, gruesome as it is, since you have turned this story more than the fate of millions in yemen. we were speaking to a guest earlier and there seems to be a lot more detail, there are so many things we don't know about this story, and there was more detail coming out. you are saying that may add to what is already happening.

yes but what you've seen from the main thrust of the story is the turks saying they have audio proof and the saudis saying that is not true. it is he shed, she said. clearly from the way business is reacting, it is obvious who people believe. we talk about the front pages dealing with the wedding picture that this is an interesting piece in the daily express today. another aspect of the dress. the dress was designed to show the scar oi'i dress was designed to show the scar on her back. she briefed the designer to say she wanted to do that. as she walks down the aisle, she looked at the surgeon who had done the back surgery when she was 12, she had a spine straight in. she mouthed thank you to him. one guest was a nine—year—old girl from manchester who suffers from the same. scoliosis. it is interesting

the way that she has addressed this, she says that she has talked about the importance of showing people your scars. she says i think you can change the way beauty is and you can show people your scars. it seems to me to bea show people your scars. it seems to me to be a very poignant thing to do. on the day of your wedding, not to cover up but to display this in a way which makes a point which is deeply human, not just way which makes a point which is deeply human, notjust campaigning. we have been speaking to somebody with scoliosis about it later. the operations are very invasive. she is explaining it was a conscience discussion. —— conscious decision. there is a piece of the telegraph about philip larkin. this is a long read, the letters from philip larkin to his mother over his life, a long period. it is absolutely full of fascinating detail about mixing with

martin and kingsley amis, and a family they were. he tries to take lady chatterley 's lover and the library has done whether they wanted to read it, and they had to study them. the chief librarian said are you doing a dissertation on its? you can'tjust read you doing a dissertation on its? you can't just read it! you doing a dissertation on its? you can'tjust read it! it's fascinating detail and goes on for six pages. it's a shame we don't write any letters a ny it's a shame we don't write any letters any more! see again in an hour's time. your watching breakfast. coming up in the next half hour... an early spoiler alert for you here. the winner of the great british menu was crowned last night. i'm not going to say... they will be here later. the task was to create a banquet to celebrate 70 years of the nhs. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with louise minchin and jon kay. good morning, here's

a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. parts of the uk are facing a second day of travel disruption and flood warnings as storm callum continues to bring heavy rain and strong winds to many areas. one village in south wales has spent the night on evacuation alert because of rising flood waters — and passengers had to be rescued from a train yesterday after it became stranded. our reporter tomos morgan is in powys for us this morning we've heard from the emergency services have a busy night? yes, a really busy night in the valleys of south wales. you mentioned a train stuck for one hour near aberdare yesterday evening. as you can see behind me, we arejust in between merthyr and brecon, on the main road that connects north

wales in south wales. the services are working tirelessly because of the significant amount of rain that has fallen over the past 24 hours, the reign of the mountain is pushing all the debris down onto the road which is causing a risk any vehicles trying to drive past year. so they arejust trying to drive past year. so they are just waiting trying to drive past year. so they arejust waiting for a trying to drive past year. so they are just waiting for a jcb to come through so that they can dig up to make some extra drainage for all the water coming past. this rain has caused significant issues for travel the whole of south wales. many roads closed, not just this the whole of south wales. many roads closed, notjust this one, the a 470, many others. reeva trains wales have said there will be a reduced service today and advise passengers not to travel because of the bad weather. if the things continue we will see heavy flooding and this amber alert will still be in place until about six o'clock around the whole of south wales. more heavy rain to fall today and it can take quite a long time for it to get down from the mountains to lower land. so

this could go on for some time? yes. we were just speaking to the guys behind me that are trying to clear the roads. they were saying a bit further across the heads of the valleys road, the flooding has com pletely valleys road, the flooding has completely closed the main road that connects the top of the valleys because of the water that has come across it. of course there are ways to clear it, they have some vehicles that can brush up and move the water. but of the rain does not stop, it will persist and the flooding will be a girl. as this rain continues, things will not get better until later on today. but of course there are other areas across south wales that have borne the brunt of storm callum. there's a village in the neath valley where people were asked to evacuate their homes as a precaution due to the

weather overnight. as this weather continues, expect more scenes like this across the whole of south wales. tomos morgan, thank you. back to you later. we get a real sense of theissues to you later. we get a real sense of the issues there. the united nations secretary general, antonio guterres, hasjoined growing international calls to know the truth about the disappearance of saudi journalist, jamal khashoggi. turkey says it has evidence that he was murdered inside saudi arabia's consulate in istanbul. but the kingdom's interior minister described allegations that his country was responsible as baseless lies. here, patients are being urged to return crutches, walking frames and wheelchairs to the nhs, so they can be reused or recycled. £6.4 million was spent on new equipment last year. the department of health says the amnesty will help it save money and reduce the impact on the environment. thousands of patients with incurable breast cancer are being denied a dedicated specialist nurse, according to a leading charity. three years ago, the government promised all cancer

patients would have access to a designated nurse by 2020, but figures from breast cancer care show that almost three—quarters of nhs trusts across the uk are not providing them. the department of health said it is "committed to increasing the capacity" of specialist cancer nurses, but the charity says more needs to be done. at least eight climbers have died on a mountain in nepal after their camp was devastated by a violent snowstorm. it happened on mount gurja in the west of the country. some of the victims were members of a south korean expedition team. fracking for shale gas could begin today in lancashire after a failed legal challenge against energy firm cuadrilla. one campaigner took his fight to the high court, but lost the case. it will be the first instance of fracking in the uk since 2011 when it was linked with earth tremors felt near by. for the first time in its history,

britain's most remote community will finally have a reliable 24—hour electricity supply. fair isle has a population of 55 people and sits halfway between the islands of orkney and shetland. previously, lights went out between 11:30 at night and half past 7 in the morning. but now, thanks to wind turbines, solar panels and a set of batteries, power can last around the clock. those are the main stories this morning. iam i am sitting here while mike and dan have had a bit of a lie in! this is very strange. what is going on? you can wear sports casual as well with no tie, i am jealous. is that burnt orange, jon? very nice. shall we run

through what happened with england? a strange game with the empty stadium. the few fans who never miss a stadium. the few fans who never miss 9, stadium. the few fans who never miss a game, in the stadium. it was strange, i listened to it on five live and it was like a pe lesson, people shouting, no atmosphere. england should have won, a couple of chances for marcus rashford, there was one revelation, jason who came on later. this was part of the punishment for the croatian f a because earlier this year they had a swastika marked on the pitch. it was disappointing for the fans even though they had done nothing wrong. england should have won, as gareth southgate will tell us now. i think the application of the players was superb, really.

you know, there was no letup in their work ethics throughout the game. defensively, they were really strong. showed good enthusiasm to play. and i thought our performance was really good. so the only disappointment is that we didn't take one of the chances that we had. but i'm really pleased with the way that we played. marko arnautovic helped west ham, there have been some questions from kids, and we had a nice sit down with ryan giggs this week, driving to wales in the midst of storm callu m to wales in the midst of storm callum yesterday but it was worth it to speak to him about his ten months

in charge of wales. we talked about the game next week and the nation ‘s league and what it is like for him this great footballer to be managing a new generation of players. we also spoke a bit about manchester united. i know you have a clip but i don't know which pitted is. so he is a bit of ryan giggs. if you were to describe the way you want to wales to play what is that? just be co mforta ble to play what is that? just be comfortable on the ball, and always have options. that is what i am saying about the basics, everyone is capable of working hard and making it as difficult as you can for the opposition. i remember talking to sir alex about you, he said that he would love to see you in the dressing room because he would like to know which of the things he told you you have stolen! do you find yourself, have you stolen key phrases? he used to bang on about

how hard work is, and talent, i take on board all the things he said. great place to learn your trade with sir alex. also glenn murray, talking about non—league today, and we will remember doug ellis as well, his legacy at aston villa. 94, a legend, the legacy he is left. another world cup is taking place this weekend in france. teqball. it might feature. hungary are the favourites, they invented the sport. think a bent table tennis table, singles and doubles, unfortunately, northern ireland and england is singles stars went out but it is good fun and pretty skilful. very impressive. i was better at the headers and the volleys. let's hope england do

better in the doubles, there is ben not all today in the singles. something to play over the football focus table! week have andy carroll on today, he might make a formidable player. goodbye, we will see you monday! it's a very big day ahead in by monday! it's a very big day ahead in rugby league. it's the climax of the rugby league season today — wigan warriors, against the warrington wolves in the super league grand final. the two met in this match two years ago with wigan coming out on top. it'll be the end of sam tomkin‘s wigan career after two spells with the club. and for warrington a chance to banish a 63—year wait for a domestic title. off as soon as i had decided that i was going to leave the club, my focus was on winning a trophy and leave the way i did in 2013 which is really special. it was a dream come true, and if i can do it this year it will be even more special. i'm not getting ahead of myself. i know

exactly the task we've got in hand and it's a huge one because warrington have been really good recently. it's massive, it will be good for the club, a view of our lads have played in two or three. the club has never won it so to be part of that and make history would be massive. something we striving for. rugby union's european champions, leinster, have shown they won't give up their title lightly...with a 52—3 mauling of wasps. the leinster fans didn't have to wait long for the first try. sean cronin, sprinting through the wasps defence. in fact the irish side ran in eight tries, as they crushed wasps and secured a winning bonus point. jack mcgrath was the last to cross the line for the champions. the big question down and was could usain bolt get closer to his dream of being a professional footballer? now he has retired from sprinting he scored his first goals. he scored twice, for the central coast mariners,

in australia, unsurprisingly leaving the defence standing as he claimed his first. different sport but same trademark celebration. and he even managed a second as mariners won 4—0, providing the assist, former leeds and villa striker ross mccormack. we've not forgotten the cricket — don't worry. england facing sri lanka in the second one—dayer in dambulla this morning. indifferent with the bat probably. to offer her views and assess england's chances at the world cup next summer is former england international and test match special commentator, ebony rainford brent. ebony, good morning. thank you for joining us. and forgiving an eye on this. england were approaching the end of their 50 overs. is this enough? you felt this morning that they would cruise to 300. we have seen them doing that for so long now, the number one team in the world, although sri lanka are in a

tough place at the moment at the bottom of the rankings but they have wheeled out lasith malinga, and he took four wickets today. his bowling skill, with the yorkers, you can't lose that sort of character. he's caused some problems. burstow going. england lost wicket in the first over. yes, jason roy went straightaway, and you know what good form he has been in. owen organ — eoin morgan got off to a flyer. that is what we are seeing here are leading edges, it's because of the pitches in sri lanka. we have seen many similar dismissals, that was lasith malinga starting his hat—trick. so england on the ropes a bit today. how important is this draw? massive. as a big world cup this summer and it's only with a

washed out games, 16 games left, to get the team right. we have seen ollie stone getting added to the line—up. england need to test these players and if they are right. more rain in the next few games could cause problems. it's important england or the machine before the world cup. important to get that winning feeling over the pitch next summer in the uk will be so different. it's quite hard to build up different. it's quite hard to build up in conditions in sri lanka. just explain how different it is, even the error? everything. in subcontinent conditions the ball stays much lower and grips and turns a lot. you seek spin bowlers so england will be facing green tops out here, but i think that good teams are adaptable, i think the

tea m teams are adaptable, i think the team will take confidence, saying, no matter what conditions you throw at us, we can be successful. adaptability is key, let's see how we get on in this series. cochran, we get on in this series. cochran, we will let you get back. you can hear more from ebony and keep up to date with england's tour of sri lanka by listening to the cricket social via the bbc sport website and app. thank you very much indeed. it's almost a quarter to nine on saturday morning. thank you forjoining us. if you've ever needed crutches or a wheelchair, what happened when you'd finished with them? did you return them to the hospital? would they take them? apparently most of us do not or can not return them. so, in a bid to save cash and recycle old walking aids, nhs hospital bosses are starting an amnesty. lucy watson is from the charity the patients association, and joins us from our taunton newsroom to tell us more.

good morning. thank you very much. so many people are getting in touch to say that they have crutches and perhaps wheelchairs and have tried to give them back but were not able to give them back but were not able to do so. what do you make of this? it does seem strange at time when the nhs is in such difficult financial circumstances that people can't return the crutches and the equipment they have used, to be reused. people want to contribute to the nhs, but sometimes if someone has died, but equipment staying there reminds them of what happened. so it's important that the nhs can get themselves organised and take back the equipment. what reasons why the equipment is not being taken back, not being accepted in some places? that is a really good question. we have heard that sometimes the nhs says it is too expensive to take the equipment back and put those arrangements in place. although we think that it could look

at how it could work across hospitals and areas to make arrangements, the this equipment to be returned and reused. they're talking about a crutch amnesty. it sounds extraordinary. will it work? we've heard it happen before, but after hospitals or community services have put on a special day when people can bring back equipment and staff have put in extra time to be there and take it back, that's great, but there needs to be a more sustained way in which people can return equipment, so they can be terminated and reused. south devon will not accept the return of walking frames, and when the hospital won't take them back because of sterilisation. they say that they need to be honest. they said they would like to give them

back if possible and if you can't, where else would you take your spare equipment? i don't know. there isn't anywhere else you can take it. is there a way we can do this across it biggest area so people can make it cost effective? it has been very interesting talking to you, thank you, lucy. if they are decontaminated, they are reused and recycled. people have been asking what is the cost of reconfiguring them. it is clearly a big issue, there is money to be saved but how

we do it is the matter. it's just after quarter to nine. a lot of people are wondering what damage the storm is doing. let's find out what the weather has done overnight, good morning, alina some areas will be windy and very wet, again it will be windiest across southern wales, this is slow—moving storm, storm callum, has moved to the north but we are left with a fair amount of rain. we could well see an access of 100 metres. it just keeps could well see an access of 100 metres. itjust keeps on piling in across south west england, this band shifts a little further north and

west. by and large, the further east you are, it should be mainly dry through this afternoon. let's look at four o'clock. in south—west england that rain is more persistent across southern wales, patchy further north, notice the wind strengths, quite wide, 50 to 60 miles an hour, a little lighter than yesterday, 12 to 14 cents years, we could get up to 2425, it's the middle of october, through this evening the rain eases a little for some time, meanwhile a spell of more persistent rain arrives it south—west england and wales, and wales, another mild, muggy night, 16 celsius, eight or nine for scotland and northern ireland. it is sunday

the front is still with us, slowly moving east, replacing the warmth we have at the moment across eastern areas with something called and fresher. more rain to come through the morning across wales, central and southern england, gradually moving north and east, things turned dry, plenty of sunshine from northern ireland and western scotland. temperatures down by quite a few degrees across england and wales tomorrow. showers and longer spells of fame for north—west england on tuesday, dryer, further south and east. the full we go, hurricane leslie is pushing into iberia this evening pushing heavy rain across parts of portugal and spain, it should moving very quickly, so it's notjust us seeing storms at the moment. back to you, john and louise. so it could be

worse! thank you. spoiler alert. that has woken everybody up! the final of the great british menu crowned a new champion chef last night. we're going to be meeting them in a moment — so you have had your spoiler alert. if you don't want to know who won, you need to go away and have a cup of tea because here is the moment of victory. mouth of the toughest part of the evening. the votes are in. -- now for the toughest part of the evening. i for the toughest part of the evening. lam for the toughest part of the evening. i am happy to announce that the chef with the most votes, the great british menu champion of champions, is,...

james. applause winner of the great british menu 2018, well done, huge congratulations. along with judge and former winner michael o'hare. you looked genuinely surprised by that. yes, i was the underdog, i never thought i would get through to the regionals let alone win it. you looked like you were struggling to ta ke looked like you were struggling to take it in, everyone was reacting around you and you looked amazed.

overwhelmed. 70 years of the nhs, it was close to my heart. i was com pletely was close to my heart. i was completely overwhelmed. tell us about your mum. he started cooking with her. i wanted to be chefs as i was about eight years old. by mum would ask, what do you want to do when you are older and i was like, i wa nt to when you are older and i was like, i want to cook. so i did basics from kitchen porter and worked my way up. it is going well. what could this win means of eu in terms of your ambitions? i will have to wait and see what happens, but quite excited. what makes a winner in this

competition, michael? identity. not just competent, you have to go further, and have your own identity with it and i think this is what james has done and this is what makes them successful. how would you describe his identity? if your mac and sitting too close! i think his identity comes through if you look at his dishes on the show you can see there is meaning to them. underneath that, it tastes beautiful and looks great. you mentioned that it was about celebrating the nhs because it is quite an unusual thing to do. to link food do something is great, but i think everyone in britain has a link to the nhs, with past briefs you have had to research

but with this and the story is there, everyone has had something to do, whether it be with doctors, dentists, it's been a big part of everyone's life. james comey mentioned your mum. for people who have not watched it, just explain. might never had a rare type of cancer, the only people who get and west indian people. it was very aggressive. she was only around for about six months or so and the nhs cared for me, so for me it was an honour to be able to say thank you. did that emotion help you be inspired? sure, it's choked me up a

lot through the course of it. from the starters to the fish, the mains, the starters to the fish, the mains, the desert, it was the whole journey, for my mum, who started me off from a young age, getting through my caribbean roots and my scottish roots and my dad ‘s side. it was a perfect touch. she would be massively proud. she would be looking down and saying, have a rum punch! michael, as well, we are now so fascinated by cooking, are you still excited by it? yes, it is my entire life, pretty much. what is great about cooking and cooking shows is that it's opened up to everyone , shows is that it's opened up to everyone, the one thing you don't get to do with the tv is taste. it

leaves an element of surprise and intrigue. i am sure you will see bookings in the restaurant because people will see food. and the nhs theme pubs that and brings out those stories, it isn't just theme pubs that and brings out those stories, it isn'tjust about theme pubs that and brings out those stories, it isn't just about the food, it's about the connection that food, it's about the connection that food makes sense all of our lives. james comey you have opened your own restau ra nt james comey you have opened your own restaurant now. is sticking to my roots, it's kind of got a bit of scottish. my flavours are bold and for themselves. it is hard, isn't it. it is my passion, i love it a lot. i don't see it as a job. this
