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 next 15 minutes. the head of the united nationsjoins calls for a proper investigation into the alleged assasination of a saudi journalist at the country's consulate in istanbul. in sport, it's hot work for england's cricketers in sri lanka. they set the home side 279 to win the second one day international in dambulla and the awkward question at the royal wedding for the duchess of york it's saturday 13th october.

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. our reporter tomos morgan is in powys for us this morning. we can tell from the hood, it is

still raining and it will do for some time yet? it will do so. since i last spoke to you, thejcb has arrived and it is clearing and making more drainage because of all the heavy rainfall and the water thatis the heavy rainfall and the water that is coming down the mountain. it is gushing down the mountain here and it's bringing everything with it on to the 8470, between merthyr tydffl on to the 8470, between merthyr tydfil and brecon. it brings the rubble, did briefed on the mountain ‘s wit is causing a rescue vehicle back behind has come of this road will be closed for a while as the jcb continues to try to drain the water to go somewhere. this is not the only road across south wales that has had to close due to the severe heavy rainfall and wins from storm callum. there is his in the

neath valley that had to do a volu nta ry neath valley that had to do a voluntary evacuation and some of those houses have started to flood as well. across other transport systems across wales, he mentioned as well the train lines have been heavily affected. arriva trains wales says there should be a reduced service and advised passengers not to travel unless they need to. last night, there is a train stuck digi heavy —— due to heavy rain water which meant passengers had to be evacuated overnight when that happened yesterday evening. there is an amber storm warning across the whole of south wales until 6pm this evening and at the moment it doesn't show any signs of letting up any time soon. the trouble is, even when the rain stopped falling, it can then ta ke rain stopped falling, it can then take hours and days to come down

from the mountains into the catchments to below is the problem doesn't stop when the rain stops? yes, so the flood warnings will be in place for longer and the storm persists, there is around 50 flood warning across the whole of south wales and that will remain in place after the storm passes. we have been told that further about ten miles away on the main road which connects the tops of all the valleys across south wales, there are parts of that road which are completely covered by flooding water. so it is going to cause a huge issue for notjust today, but probably the next couple of days if this rain continues as it has done in such a severe, heavy fall. thank you for that update. we will have the latest weather forecast, vital information for lots of people says she will be here and just a couple of minutes for the

update. 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. saudi'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 near by. 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. robbie williams was one of the celebrity guests in at yesterday's service, but it was his daughter theodora who made the headlines. have a look at her. she's looking around at seeing what's going on. 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. i'm the mother of the bride, don't you know! i love children's questions! it's a good job she

didn't ask the queen herself, can you imagine if she done that? some fabulous outfits on show yesterday. and there was a poignant message behind the bride's choice of dress. it's in some of the papers today. it showed the scar from major surgery that eugenie had at the age of 12 to treat a curvature of the spine. the princess hoped it would act as a tribute to those who have helped her and inspire others with the condition of scoliosis, like laura campbell who joins us now on the sofa. good morning. it's a really brave thing to do in some ways. what did you think when you saw her with that dress and purposefully down that way? i think it was a positive, inspirational thing to do yesterday. me and mum watched together, we got

emotional because i have the same condition but think she's a good role model for anybody sat who is perhaps worried about their scar, to seek their princess on their wedding day, it's brilliant. it's truly meant a lot to you, that moment. day, it's brilliant. it's truly meant a lot to you, that momentlj think meant a lot to you, that moment.” think so. it's a condition that committee feels subconscious and isolated. it is something that people don't necessarily, they haven't heard about it. to see somebody like princess eugenie in the spotlight, showing off her scar to the world is fantastic. tell us about scoliosis. you have it yourself. i was diagnosed with scoliosis when i was 13 so i had an even waste, my hip were higher than the other which is a classics sign of the condition. this is your scan isn't it? yes, that's me. i developed it at 13 and they

monitored that will be few years, u nfortu nately monitored that will be few years, unfortunately it got worse i needed the operation. is this the result of the operation. is this the result of the surgery? it is. gosh. those were the surgery? it is. gosh. those were the two screws in my pelvis.” wa nted the two screws in my pelvis.” wanted that last? i've had five operations. my first lasted for ten hours —— how long did that last? i had an incision in my side which i call my shark they took out a rid, and straightened it with screws. —— to cut a ribbon. what a staggering is the extraordinary thing is that doctors can do. it is amazing. it's amazing that it can do. it is amazing. it's amazing thatitis can do. it is amazing. it's amazing that it is such a big surgery, you wa ke that it is such a big surgery, you wake up in high dependency unit is then you're in hospitalfor a week, then you're in hospitalfor a week, then your home. you are walking and getting back to normal quite quickly. considering the amount of work you have had done to it is quite incredible you can get back on

your feet, and i quite incredible you can get back on yourfeet, and i group two inches which is fantastic because they straighten you out. there is a degenerative form of scoliosis, people as they get older and get is twisted spine. having had the operation, you're not going to get that, it would degenerate? my spine is fused solid with all the matter, so hopefully i will avoid more surgery but it is a condition that you never know. i am straighter and strongerfor it you never know. i am straighter and stronger for it and i'm you never know. i am straighter and strongerfor it and i'm glad i had it. it has made begu i am. you knew that princess eugenie had this before didn't you ? that princess eugenie had this before didn't you? —— it has made me who i am. it is something she cares about that people should be grateful for. to talk to her surgeon, she ca res for. to talk to her surgeon, she cares deeply about it. it's fantastic to have her as a role model, speaking out about it. it is a condition not many people know

about so to have somebody as a role model isjust about so to have somebody as a role model is just brilliant. about so to have somebody as a role model isjust brilliant. it's not that uncommon is it? it is strange that uncommon is it? it is strange that it can be reasonably common yet we don't talk about it all know too much about it collapsed why is that? i'm not sure. it is necessary to talk about it. , is diagnosed about killing the crew in victim of it is diagnosed in as adolescence. if you get a diagnosis, it can be scary so what is your advice to people? the scoliosis association uk is the only national charity supporting people with scoliosis. i would advise people to look on their website for more information, they have a helpline as well. talk to your gp about any concerns, contact people like me that our representatives of the organisation. the you're helping

people going through it? yes. you say the scars are who you are? yes, thatis say the scars are who you are? yes, that is how i cope with at the channel it into something positive. i have met so many brave, inspirational youngsters with it, it has been a journey. as argued to. -- as you are too. thank you. here's alina with a look at this morning's weather. we have seen some torrential rain in the last 24 hours. there is more to come today. strong winds as well. across eastern parts of england, it will be very warm for mid—october, more on that in a moment. storm callu m more on that in a moment. storm callum is well away to the north of the uk but has left in its wake this really slow—moving front, going nowhere fast. it will deposit more rain particularly across south wales. we still have an amber warning valid until 6pm. this is the radar in the last 24 hours, the rain keeps piling in across south—west

england and wales, northern england, pushing into scotland and northern ireland. ahead of this, we have showers developing across southern counties of england, they fade. one 01’ counties of england, they fade. one or two further east. but the further east you are by and large, it stays dry with sunshine. but look at 4pm in more detail. you can see the contrast, wet and windy parts of wales, south—west england, these are the gusts, some persistent rain across north—west england, patchy across north—west england, patchy across northern ireland as the rain works through scotland, it will become more persistent to the afternoon. but it won't be as windy across scotland and northern ireland as yesterday. temperatures 12—14dc, across england and wales wide feet 18-22. but 24-25 foot across england and wales wide feet 18—22. but 24—25 foot anglia and south—east england. warm for october. the rain continues overnight northward. it eases for a time across wales and more arise

co nte time across wales and more arise conte arrives so another wet and to the night. another 8—9 for northern ireland. this front is still with us tomorrow, slowly pushing eastwards. eventually it replaced the warmth across east anglia and south—east england with something fresher. that's already further north and west. another wet morning across wales, central and southern england, improving to the day. the rain pushes northhead is and spells of sunshine across northern ireland wales, south—west england, lighter winds, a cooler feel though, wales, south—west england, lighter winds, a coolerfeel though, 13—18 generally. the rain could linger across east anglia and south—east england on monday, behind it some spells of sunshine but flip it ran for tuesday, dry conditions the further east you are, and showers in the north and west. it's notjust —— has. a hurricane is in iberia bringing outbursts of rain in spain

and portugal and also the windy weather back home. we've got quite likely then in that case. thank you. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, it's time now for a look at the newspapers. writer and broadcaster paul vallely is here to tell us what's caught his eye. lovely to see you. we will look at the front pages first. you know this better than i do i think! first let's look at the front pages. the front page of many of the papers dealing with the royal wedding. a picture of princess eugenie and her husband jack brooksbank kissing outside st george's chapel dominates the daily mail's front page. you can find papers everywhere. —— royal wedding papers everywhere. except perhaps the guardian. 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. the pair will return to the dance floor for the first time since the incident. all eyes on what's going to happen on the ballroom floor. 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. interesting interview here in the guardian on an environmental focus. we usually end with the weather but we'll we usually end with the weather but we' ll start we usually end with the weather but we'll start with it here. mary robinson was the un climate change envoy, she used to be president of ireland. she talks about the new intergovernmental panel on climate change report which came out last week and which he says is telling us week and which he says is telling us we mustn't go past 1.5%. she has that look what happened with 1% of climate change temperature rise. all

these floods, the weather we have seen. i was on a train in exeter yesterday and the line to devon was closed because the waves were so high, they came over the railway line. she is saying the things we can do about this. such as eating less meat, planting trees, recycling more, there are 1000 small wedges you can do —— measures you can do to ameliorate this. interestingly, she talks about how now trying to get the message across to comedy, she is doing a comedy show in new york with a comedian. there was a sense in the report that in so many ways, it's very shocking, but is actually going to shock us, be it has personally or governments, into action? she is saying we have 11 years before the change happened. —— change happens.

once the world tips, the antarctic melt, the coral reefs are gone, we will come up where instead of absorbing carbon, the planet. to give it out and that's a tipping point. we will have no control, its apocalyptic. it is an interesting point on the comedy, she says young people now get their information from comedy shows not from news programme. that's why she's turning to comedy? yes, because she thinks that's where should people get the policy information from. interesting. another one in the guardian, following from banksy‘s start last week in the auction dream where a picture was shredded. that's a good picture. but it's also in the financial times in their life and art projects in. —— section. he has turned pranks into an art form. this shredding painting is worth more

than before it was shredded and the person who was going to buy it has now paid £1.04 million for it. it has been retitled by banksy as a new work of art called luvvies in the bin. maul you can't win if you're an auction house —— love is in the bin. he has had a mona lisa before with an emoticon and the face of mona lisa but up in the louvre. there was a beetle in the museum in new york which had missiles on his wings, he had a caveman with a shopping trolley in the british museum, it was there for weeks and no one noticed. this planking art, taking the mickey out of the art establishment and the amount of people that will pay for it, and the

value goes up for it. who's having the last laugh, i didn't know? the royal wedding, we talked about early on. it is worth saying there are some people who don't like it. we said how brave princess eugenie was with the dress but here is the daily mirror, a piece by kevin maguire who is billed as the daily mirror's resident republican and it is an extraordinarily grumpy piece saying i don't want to rain on the parade but then reigning of the parade. the pictures showed what harry and megan's wedding was like and what this one was like. there was pictures of club and obama's inaugurations —— donald trump and obama ‘s. inaugurations —— donald trump and obama 's. it's full of mentions to austerity and universal credit, saint though a lot of people who don't like this. it is a worthwhile ps but i don't think most people feel the way kevin does. it

certainly makes for newsprint doesn't it? papers are full of it. the last 17 pages of it. this is one page dedicated to the douglas. up up to —— b. s. somebody asked her if she was the queen. —— the duchess. she went out of the car and to the ground. this writer in the telegraph has got this kind of capturing the ambivalence people have two fergie, they love her or love to load her. she is a prominent cartoon character. —— love to dislike her. her hat apparently looks like harry potter's snit. let's look at the hat. apparently she turned up six minutes late.

virdi time, they call it. —— virdi time. we're on bbc one until ten o'clock this morning, when matt tebbutt takes over in the saturday kitchen. matt, what's on the menu for us? our special guest today is al murray. this is your third time here. yes it is. what's your idea of heaven this time? pickled onion monster munch. now it's not! the youghal. you do this programme a few times, you run out of things you like. -- veal. all your fingers have got smaller. now, you've got older. so feel. i like veal and i really love stilton, soft cheeses, that sort of thing. what about hell? i've got to remember what i told your research. i don't like kumar. and present —— quinoa. pheasant is

number is predicted to increase this morning when people rise and see the floodwater. at the moment we've got 29 flood warnings in place, where flooding is expected, sorry, 41 flooding is expected, sorry, 41 flood alerts were flooding is possible. 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. 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.

they want members of the public to help by reporting sightings of obviously sick and dead hares. 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, — i added the word "big" — power can last around the clock. now they can watch bbc breakfast from 6am instead ofjoining us halfway through! that's the most important thing will stop now they are important members of the team. at least they are used to silence and peace and tranquillity. not if you play international

football for england. wasn't that weird camille had to feel for the players making their international debut, singing the national anthem in front ofjust a few police officers and security staff and your tea m officers and security staff and your team staff and club. it was because ofa team staff and club. it was because of a punishment for the croatian fa. england's first match behind closed doors was lacking in goals, as well as atmosphere, but they should have won their uefa nations league match in croatia. some fans locked out of the stadium, in rijeka, sat on a hill above the ground...they were shut out, because croatia were being punished, for the appearance of a swastika on their pitch a couple of years ago. as for the match, england, hit the post and the bar, and twice marcus rashford, forgot how to finish when he had only the keeper to beat. . .and so it was england's 21st century boy, jadon sancho, making his much anticipated debut, who came on as a sub, to add some late sparkle. the first england player to be born this century..

i feel the performance was ifeel the performance was really positive, on the whole. there are a lot of young players in the squad, whenjadon lot of young players in the squad, when jadon sancho came lot of young players in the squad, whenjadon sancho came on that was really positive, that had a positive impact, he was brave, to people on, one—on—one, that is what you want from young players. northern ireland's nations league hopes, suffered a major setback as west ham's marko arnautovic condemned them to a 1—0 defeat in austria. their second defeat in as many games. sri lanka's king of sling, lasith malinga, ripped through england's resistance, to give the hosts the slight edge in the second one day international. the first of malinga's wickets, was jason roy, out for a duck, in the first over. . . ..captain eoin morgan helped the england fightback, dispatching a 6 into the dambulla crowd. but england were unable to get to 300 asjoss buttler was stopped in his prime on 28...by nuwan pradeep...joe root top—scored

with 71. england a target of 278—9 off their 50 overs...sri lanka yet to start their reply. it's the climax of the rugby league season today — wigan warriors, against the warrington wolves in the super league grand final. it could be some send—off for the wigan coach, shaun wane — a final match, 36 years after he first played for the club. adam wild reports from old trafford. for these two sides, the journey to old trafford has been long. the prize at the end now within reach. for both warrington and wigan, it is a path well trodden. commentator: it is another wow moment at old trafford. they have met here before twice, both days belonged to wigan, but that is now in the past and something some are keen to forget. what's gone is gone. you just concentrate on ourselves. you gotta enjoy this build—up.

this is what we play rugby league for, occasions like this, weeks like this. you don't get many in your career. for others, well, history isn't something easily left behind. shaun wane's 30—year association with wigan, as first a player and now a coach, comes to an end. a grand final farewell to his hometown club. it has been perfect, it was perfection, been my dream, and i walk away a happy man. standing in their way is a warrington side that have proven they can beat the very best. their semifinal win over st helens was perhaps unexpected but thoroughly deserved. it's warrington who dance with delight! their biggest challenge, though, remains — improving on the past. the club has never won it so to be part of that and make a bit of history would be massive for the club, for the players, and, yeah, something that we're really striving for and hopefully, we can, you know, get thejob done. so after a long, gruelling season and the intensity of those semifinals, it all leads here to old trafford

and the grand final. just 80 minutes of rugby league to decide whose journey ends with the ultimate prize. adam wild, bbc news at old trafford. ? 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 as sean cronin, sprinting through the wasps defence. in fact the irish side ran in 8 tries, as they crushed wasps and secured a winning bonus point; jack mcgrath was the last to cross the line for the champions. george russell will become the third british driver in formula one next year, after signing to race for williams. he's only 20, and is currently mercedes' reserve driver, as well as leading the formula two, championship. russell will become the first full time british driver, at williams since jenson button back in 2000. it's been a brilliant day for england's charley hull in the golf, and after round 3

of the lpga championship in south korea, she shares the lead. she birdied the last hole, to finish 12 under par, so joint top of a leaderboard, that is packed with major winners...hull, who's still only 22 years old, hasn't faltered from the first round, despite the experienced players around her. now not sure what the wildlife is like in incheon. dare say they don't have any giant monitor lizards to contend him. just look at the size of this thing casually crossing the fairway at the pga event in malaysia this morning. no one is going to argue with him, evenif no one is going to argue with him, even if he pinches your ball! staying with football, of sorts, but a game played on a table tennis table, that's warped... our saturday sporting feature this week is on teqball.....the 2nd world cup, is ongoing, this weekend, with 40 countries competing in france....all 4 home nations, are hoping for success today in the doubles...i've been to a session in manchester to find out more. when ping—pong

met match of the day. table tennis with a football, and headers and volleys. it all started in hungary in a garage in 2012 and it was three footballers who were getting on a bit, they couldn't get enough people forfive—a—side, so they started doing this for fun in their garage on a table. they started on a table tennis table, then they figured this curved table would make the game flow a little bit more, so that's kind of how it was created and it's kind of turned into a bit of a bootstrapping success story. the teqball world cup is taking place in france this weekend and playing for england is ben nuttall. any time, anywhere. ben has got great control and a deft first touch — skills that have helped him become a freestyle football world champion. we used to, like, set up at school on a table and put bags in the middle, so, and do that type of thing, so i'm kinda familiar with it but i'm definitely going to have to be in practice a bit more.

because it's curved, i think the ball comes faster at you, so the knee—jerk touch has to be perfect and really on point. it is three touches per team, but the ball has to be touched by both of you. oh —just in! before you can get it back over the table. i've heard of goal hanging before. in this game, i'm net hanging! the headers i'm finding much easier than the footwork. after his little warm—up session with us, thousands will be watching ben this weekend in france, with 100,000 euros the prize for the winner. and a growing number of professional clubs are now using this to enhance their training. in the premiership, i think a clubs already have it. in europe, we've got paris saint—germain and st petersburg. from chelsea training to the rovers' return, although for the coronation street actor colson smith, the world cup mayjust be a bit too soon. weird. obviously all about first touch, which is not one of my stronger points. a lot of use of the head. but it's different, good, you know, football, changing it up, it's good, i like it. unintelligible. i think we could get one in,

definitely, definitely could. the good thing about serving is you do get a second serve if this goes horribly wrong — yep, like that, into the net. net! knees up. i'm over this time. and at this try—out session in manchester, we all found it was more accessible than we at first feared. the first round is a bit difficult and then it got a bit easier once you get going and the crowd started cheering us on. i didn't really play football at school so it was new for me but it was good, it was challenging, and, you know, a good sport. challenging, especially if you haven't quite got the reach. oops! get off the table! where is it? 0h! ben, good luck at the world cup! he went out in the singles, so sorry about that ben but he still has a chance in the doubles today along

with northern ireland, wales and scotland. hungary the favourites because they invented the sport. it looks really fun, thank you. if you think that was competitive... strictly is back on our screens this evening and it has been a rather turbulent week for two of its stars who have dominated the front pages of the tabloids after sharing an illicit kiss. can seann and katya move on from the headlines when they take to the floor with their charleston? we're joined now by former strictly professional kristina rihanoff. lovely to see you. there is so much to talk about. let's talk about that. they have had a turbulent week. they've got to get back on the dance floor tonight. we understand thatis dance floor tonight. we understand that is what they will do. how much pressure is that? i believe, a lot because they have been on every single front page for a whole week. it is never pleasant when the tabloids are writing about you nonstop. i think what happened was

difficult for everyone involved, the relatives and the partners. but it did happen, you can't go back in time, what happened, happened. at the end of the day they are hired to doa the end of the day they are hired to do a job. both under contract. they have to perform, the show is about dancing, so they have to go on, they will perform their dance tonight. if they are eliminated then let it be. however i wish for them to do the best dance they could possibly do. is there a risk that the public might vote them out this weekend because of what happened in the papers this week rather than because of the dancing? i do believe that. of course. the public what it is about, they can support you, even if it is against the wishes of the judges like it was a long time ago with me and john sergeant! they can do what they want, it depends on the public vote. but i hope people give

them a chance just to perform the downs and i helped judge it on that rather than their private lives. seann was on it takes two. it's also important for me to say that the people that know me the most, that love me, they know that i am not the person i am being portrayed as. i am still sorry for what i did but it is important for me to get that out there. you can tell from the tone and what they are wearing, it is very ha rd and what they are wearing, it is very hard for that programme tonight, feel—good family show, how they handle it? they are performers at the end of the day, but let's face it there are much more difficult situations that might

arrive, last is someone had to dance after their mother had passed away. it has been a terrible week that they have to get together and stands, i don't think the show 's companion programme was the one to say sorry out, i am sure they said sorry to all the parties involved so i can't understand why the subject was brought up on the companion programme, to be fair. is talk of the strictly curs. does it exist? i don't believe it does exist because many more reality shows brings couple together or drives them apart, this big brother, we have seen it happening, it isjust apart, this big brother, we have seen it happening, it is just that strictly is watched by so many more people, it is the biggest show on tv. statistically people get together at work, and this is where people work. this is where our

relationships develop, either professional ones, you must understand, it's an all—around job, you don't do anything else coming you don't do anything else coming you don't do anything else coming you don't go anywhere else or meet anyone else. this is where you met your partner ben. you know from tabloid headlines about your life andi tabloid headlines about your life and i saw that you were getting some grief on social media last night when you said you were coming on here, kind easy parallels between what happened with you and ben and others and what has happened this week? our relationship developed after the show and i have a family, i have a child. we are a family and

thatis i have a child. we are a family and that is what matters at the end of the day. i can't really see the parallel. butjournalists always like to bring it back, i have a thick skin and i have heard it all, iam very thick skin and i have heard it all, i am very happy, relationships do happen, at the end of the day there's a big conversation behind her. we have professional and amateur divisions, we are professionals, this is what dancers mean, not other things as some journalists imply. is there something about the intimacy of dancing together that creates the potential of these things to happen? whether it is dancing, whether strictly dancing on ice, anything with teamwork you will develop a strong relationship because you have

to trust each other. you'll also see the other person. they are vulnerable. it's petrifying for most people to come on that floor. you have do ask that person to be as vulnerable as they can be and we ta ke vulnerable as they can be and we take them through it so you do develop that kind of partnership early on. whether it will go anywhere else, you never know. it depends on personal chemistry what happens in your private life. we don't know what is happening. we don't know what is happening. we don't know what is happening. we don't know the private relationships. what we do know is that millions of people will be watching tonight. will you be one?” will be hugging my little girl and putting her to bed.”

will be hugging my little girl and putting her to bed. i bet you will be watching. alina, will you be watching? i have to record the end because i have to get up early! i will catch up on it tomorrow. very turbulent weather across it will be wet and windy in the west, storm callum nowell away to the north of the uk and in its wake it has left this almost stationary front, going nowhere fast today. further rain padding and particularly for south wales, this is where we have the amber warning through until six o'clock this evening. you can see how the rain keeps on feeding in across south—west england, wales, north—west england, and slowly rushing in north was further across scotland, will become patchy over northern ireland, ahead of this some showers especially for southern counties, said east apart from a

couple of showers, mainly dry with sunshine. yet a windy day for all of us. this gives you an idea of the guests us. this gives you an idea of the gu ests to us. this gives you an idea of the guests to this afternoon, 40 miles an hour, more persistent rain across the south—west of england, a little bit patchy across northern ireland, sta rts bit patchy across northern ireland, starts to push further north into scotland, not as strong as yesterday, the wins, quite widely, 22 celsius in england and wales. at 224 or 25, this evening the rain eases off for a time, pushing across southern county, 16 celsius, further north more like eight or nine, the front still with us into tomorrow, slowly pushing east. the dividing line between the warmth we have across eastern areas and the cooler fresher conditions further north and

west, temperatures sliding into tomorrow. across wales and central southern areas of england, the sunshine already across northern ireland will extend into scotland, wales, south—west england, and improving picture, likely to keep the drainfor improving picture, likely to keep the drain for eastern counties. you should notice the dip in temperature. a gooner start to the week although sunshine for many on tuesday show was arriving in from the north and the west, it's looking drier of the 70s. tonight across iberia hurricane leslie will bring winds of over 75 miles an hour, heavy rain across parts of portugal and spain, behind it, things tend riding. some very strong winds here as well. back to you. alina thank you for keeping us company and good luck with that alarm call. it's just after ten to ten. our next guest shot

to fame after being signed by lily allen to her record label after hearing his voice and comparing his energy to that of david bowie. in the six years since then, tom odell has released two critically acclaimed albums and won a string of accolades including multiple brit awards and the prestigious ivor novello songwriter of the year award. still only 27 he is now getting ready to release his third album jubilee road' hi, guys, it is great to bejust so early in the morning. that was almost convincing! let's hear a track from your new album. # late friday night # late friday night # the street lamps are shining # the street lamps are shining #upin # the street lamps are shining # upin my # the street lamps are shining # up in my bedroom # up in my bedroom # there is a mighty big fight # there is a mighty big fight # between the thunder and lightning

# between the thunder and lightning # wonder who will lose # wonder who will lose # i # wonder who will lose #iseea # wonder who will lose # i see a party balloon # i see a party balloon # and # i see a party balloon #andl # i see a party balloon # and i ain't been invited # and i ain't been invited # hey, look at that moment # hey, look at that moment # there ain't nothing like it # there ain't nothing like it # all grey and gold # all grey and gold # down on jubilee # all grey and gold # down onjubilee road #. tom odell is with us. jubilee road. was it a new house? an old house, i don't know if there are any more. the album was written very quickly. and bits of it recorded there. i have said that in interviews if you listen closely you can hear the neighbours's tv coming through the walls! can you hear it?

i'm not sure. it's really about community. i wanted to make an album that felt like you could locate it, all the songs written in one place,. i assumed that jubilee road was a real place although it is an amalgam? and is in your imagination. i think the name was inspired by the fa ct i think the name was inspired by the fact that my girlfriend and i used to meet under this gate that was in the local park. it was called jubilee gate and it had some sort of poignancy to me in that time. that is where the titlejubilee road came

from. normally you read a lot of songs one album, this time so many. is that changing your work as a songwriter? i hope i'm getting better. you might have written lots more songs, they might be brilliant, we just haven't heard them. it's very wasteful! i try to be better with it. i wrote about 12 or 13 songs for this album. i was much more driven by the lyrics. i was very inspired by this, for the first time since i escaped from home when

i was about 17. when you are in your 20s, possibly renting, no one more than as musicians, we need a centred place. this is another track from the album. # i wrote the lyrics yesterday to all your songs. i think the lyric went, you'll miss me when i'm gone # but of course i was confused. # but of course i was confused. # i'll ask you out and you could tell me where i'm wrong # but then i know you'd just refuse. wonderful, tom. i know it is also

bbc music national arben day. in this new era is the album really important and is it important to listen to things as an adult? think so. my favourite artists, the ones i have grown up with like radiohead or bruce springsteen and eltonjohn, i think it would be rare for me to fall in love with an artist after a single. for me it is the way to understand what an artist is trying to say. to see their view. your new album is called jubilee road. find out more about national album day and the bbc website.
