8:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with victoria fritz and rogerjohnson. our headlines today. a man is killed in a landslide as storm callum brings flooding and disruption to large parts of the uk. good morning, more rain forecast today but and is moving eastwards so things turning try a particularly gci’oss things turning try a particularly across wales and we will seek spells of such an arriving from the west. i will have all the details in about 15 minutes. former brexit secretary david davis urges cabinet ministers to rebel against theresa may's plans for leaving the eu, just days ahead of a crucial summit. a crackdown in england on people who wrongly claim free prescriptions — pharmacists say the measures could harm patient trust. and in sport, wigan are winners again — a fifth grand final victory for them after they beat warrington wolves at old trafford. and the first official photos are released from friday's royal wedding. good morning.
8:01 am
it's sunday 14th october. our top story. a man has died in a landslide in south west wales, following torrential rain and heavy winds across large parts of the uk. storm callum left thousands of homes and businesses without power. flooding and fallen trees left roads and rail lines blocked — but the met office says weather conditions will improve today. chi chi izundu reports. wales hasn't seen floodwater like this for decades. overnight, more rain, more flood defences breached. in carmarthenshire, police remain at the scene of a landslide. one man was killed here. officers are warning against all but essential travel. wales bore the brunt of storm callum. torrential rain and wind has flooded homes and left some without power. i've been here 26, 27 years. i was born here and i've never seen it this bad. it's quite bad. some of the smaller cars are trying to get through,
8:02 am
and then, well, they're going through, but at the other end, they're just breaking down because the water's so deep on the road. ijust don't know how long it's going to take for it to all go down, so it'sjust waiting for everything to dry out, i guess, and see what happens from there. but i know a lot of people on the street haven't got insurance or anything, so i don't know what they're going to do or what i'm going to do. the force of the storm has been felt across much of the uk. in brighton, a man died after being swept out to sea in the early hours of saturday morning. last night, train services on the west coast main line between preston and carlisle were stopped by a landslide. forecasters say the worst of the rain has now passed, but warnings of flooding look set to remain in place for much of the day. chi chi izundu, bbc news. our reporterjames williams is in carmarthen for us this morning. james, what is the situation where
8:03 am
you are at the moment because we have seen from the weather forecast that another front could come in on tuesday. well, it has tried up since yesterday, at the moment a little drizzle but and is getting better. as you can see this is just a snapshot of the worst flooding in wales has seen some 30 years. things are getting drier at the moment. let's give you an example of how things are getting better. if you look at the bridge behind me, the water hit the top of the archers last night. it has dropped since then. i was told as people that, at its height you could feel the bridge shaking, such was the strength of the water. but things are getting slowly better. the question now is, will businesses be able to see what kind of devastation has happened to their businesses and properties over their businesses and properties over the next 18 hours or so? this is
8:04 am
what dyfed—powys police say, as soon as the waters drop we will get a full picture of the devastation wreaked. carmarthenshire has been particularly hit by storm calibre, as is ceredigion, and powys, we saw storms heading west wales at milford haven yesterday. the question never many people is, will things get better. we expect water levels to drop but dyfed—powys police say, u nless drop but dyfed—powys police say, unless you need to travel stay home, stay away from the roads. many of them are still shut. there has been disruption to public transport, we'll get a picture the next 18 hours or so as to how bad things really are. thank you, james. extraordinary, those pictures of the bridge. and when he said it shook, thank goodness it did not go. absolutely. now it's five past eight. members of the cabinet
8:05 am
are being urged by the former brexit secretary, david davis — to unite against theresa may's plan for britain's withdrawal from the european union. writing in the sunday times, just days before a crucial summit of eu leaders in brussels, he says the prime minister's proposals are "completely unacceptable", and there is an atmosphere of "panic" in downing street. let's get more on this now from our political correspondent helen catt. helen, how significant is this intervention? i suppose no one is surprised to hear david davis railing against the chequers plan because he has done this since he resigned from the cabinet but this is taking it up a level? absolutely, he has been a consistent critic of theresa may's brexit plans yet here he is at the beginning of a crucial week of negotiations ratcheting up the pressure by making an appeal to mrs may's most senior ministers, the cabinet. writing in the sunday times he says the cabinet needs to exert its authority and stop pressing
8:06 am
ahead with the proposals which he says are flawed. at the heart of this is the back—up plan for the irish border if we don't get a deal. the idea is that the uk could stay ina the idea is that the uk could stay in a customs union for longer full making sure that there would not be any customs checks imposed at the border. the downside would be that the uk could not make its own independent trade deals and this is what david davis says is unacceptable. the key thing is that there are also differences between where downing street stands on this and where the eu does. downing street says any such arrangement must be time limited and temporary by the eu does not want to set an end date. it looks as if they should bea end date. it looks as if they should be a compromise and this seems to be david davis's attempt to make sure it is not theresa may compromising. helen catt, thank you. the health secretary is launching a crackdown on people
8:07 am
in england who wrongly claim free prescriptions. the nhs will also target rogue pharmacists and dentists who defraud the health service. matt hancock says he'll halve prescription fraud, which is thought to cost the nhs more than £250 million a year. but some pharmacists have criticised the government's approach, saying the measures could prevent patients from getting the medicines they need. britain and the us may be about to boycott a major investment conference in saudi arabia following the disappearance of journalist, jamal khashoggi. it comes after president trump threatened saudi arabia with severe punishment, if it is found to be responsible for mr khashoggi's death— at the kingdom's consulate in istanbul last week. eliza philippidis reports. president trump is under
8:08 am
international and domestic pressure to help determine what happened to mr khashoggi and punish saudi arabia if investigations show its government had him killed. and though he's promised severe punishment, sanctions on arms don't seem to be on the cards. when we take away $110 billion of purchases from our country, that hurts our workers, that hurts our factories, that hurts all of our companies. you're talking about 500,000 jobs. the turkish authorities say they have evidence of the washington postjournalist being murdered by a saudi hit squad at the istanbul consulate, but so far, hard evidence has not been produced. pressure is now growing on the saudis to prove that mr khashoggi left the embassy alive after he went to get papers for his wedding. if they can't, the international community say they will boycott a high—profile investment conference in riyadh later this month. diplomatic sources say both the us treasury secretary and the uk international trade secretary may now not attend. this would amount to a huge snub by two of saudi arabia's key allies. eliza philippidis, bbc news. princess eugenie and her new husband jack brooksbank
8:09 am
have released a set of official photographs from their wedding day. one of the pictures shows eugenie in a silk gown by the american designer zac posen as she attended the evening reception. she looks absolutely knockout, doesn't she? looks great. and his family looks really nice and there's a bit ofa family looks really nice and there's a bit of a case in the back of the carriage that took them from the castle and into married life after the service. about 3 million people watched the wedding, including me. and talking of kissing, luckily it was all about the dancing last night! it was "all about the dancing" as seann walsh and katya jones returned to strictly come dancing
8:10 am
for the first time since they were pictured kissing on a night out. there was no direct reference to the controversy on saturday's show, which saw a warm crowd reaction for their charleston i stayed up to watch itjust to see what it would be like! it got a good score of 28 from the judges. viewers will learn tonight whether they've survived the public vote. it might be enough to keep them out of the bottom two even if they got a nasty reaction from the public. we'll be talking about that with a couple of guests later. they didn't talk about it on strictly last night although people were probably fed up of hearing about it. a big red and white stripey elephant in the room. some people said, that is the where's wally wears. back to the news. the nhs in england is
8:11 am
cracking down on people who wrongly claim free prescriptions — and on pharmacists and dentists who defraud the health service. the health secretary matt hancock says he'll create a digital database so chemists can check who's eligible for free prescriptions before handing over medicine. he'll also form a counter—fraud team targeting dentists and pharmacists who charge for work they don't do. sandra gidley is from the royal pharmaceutical society. she's in our southampton studio for us this morning. sa nta, santa, what is your take on this, a goodidea santa, what is your take on this, a good idea or a bad idea? good morning victoria. you would think it isa morning victoria. you would think it is a good idea to crack down on fraud and it is that the patient will suffer. and it's only in england because in wales and scotla nd england because in wales and scotland you get prescriptions free. so would it not be simpler and easier to get free prescriptions for eve ryo ne easier to get free prescriptions for everyone and then people don't have to worry about making a false declaration, and people can have the medicines they need without having to make decisions about what they pay for? and pharmacists and their teams don't want to spend time checking exemptions. this is not what they are paid for. it is not a skill base. sandra of course it
8:12 am
would be easier if thing jon daly everything was free. it would be great if my food and rent were free! it costs a lot to police this. but it also costs a lot to give free prescriptions, we are not in an era where we can just spend and spend on health care. no but people have free prescriptions that condition is under control, in wales and scotland prescriptions are free so it does seem a little unfair that in england this is not the case. if the computer says no this is a real dilemma because some people have free screw prescriptions legitimately, they might have diabetes, and you can't stop a diabetic from having insulin, for instance. this is potentially fraught with problems. if we can't even get the nhs systems talking to
8:13 am
each other, how the secretary of state thinks he will manage it for the department for work and pensions and other agencies when they can't even get universal credit right is slightly mystifying. but isn't it right that people need to be able to pay for things they need? if you have an exemption, fair in but shirley we should be in an era where we should be able to pay for medicines, it's not a huge amount of money. lets not forget that we keep being told about the image is free at the point of delivery. it is actually quite a lot of money, £8.60 might not be much to you but if you are on a very low income and don't qualify for benefits and are struggling you have to have to prescriptions, finding £17 is very nearly impossible for some people, so everyday pharmacists are being asked which one is the most important for me to take. the
8:14 am
patient should not be put in that situation. it is not fair on the patient. sandra, this seems like an awful lot of money going on fraudulent claims, how much is going on spending it? i'm not sure but i've noticed an increase in people innocently taking the wrong box or being chased up and demanded the payment and having had the stress and worry for providing proof, that's problematic and then also patients who genuinely think they have a medical exemption when they do not. for example, they might be an asthmatic on long—term inhaler use, they might think it is free, if you are asthmatic you have to pay for everything, if you are a diabetic you don't. the whole system is not fair. the only system which is not fair. the only system which is better for patients,
8:15 am
is not fair. the only system which is betterfor patients, making is not fair. the only system which is better for patients, making sure they are taking the medicines, is to think about how you have it free at the point of delivery but don't pay for medicines which are not proven and that's a different argument but i think this is being tackled from the wrong perspective. we could save the wrong perspective. we could save the nhsa the wrong perspective. we could save the nhs a lot of money by looking at it from a different direction. sandra, what about cracking down on rogue pharmacists and dentists, an interesting comment from the health secretary saying those who choose to abuse the nhs and line of their own pockets with money will no longer have anywhere to hide. he would not say that if it was not a problem. that is a different issue. a rogue isa that is a different issue. a rogue is a rogue is a rogue. as a professional body for pharmacists we would say that any fraud is unacceptable. would say that any fraud is u na cce pta ble. let would say that any fraud is unacceptable. let me be clear on that. that is fine but i think the
8:16 am
amount is very low and particularly in these days when there are computer trials for everything, i am surprised, we are so busy dealing with patients that. and the system is the last thing on pharmacists's minds. if it is happening it is wrong. we won't know if it is happening and we have a system and people fall foul of it. this is not anything to do with the system for claiming exemptions, i suspected this is the system for claiming services wrong way. i don't know the details but it sounds like two different systems because simply having a data base different systems because simply having a database of food is not pay for their prescription will not solve the problem. very often the prescription charge is more than the cost of the drugs. so you could say that there is a mechanism there. i
8:17 am
don't think it happens very much. it is entirely find that this is cracked down upon but i don't see how an exemption checking system is going to solve the other problem which the secretary of state is alluding to. 0k, sandra gidley from the royal pharmaceutical society, thank you. and the health secretary matt hancock will be on the andrew marr show at 10 o'clock this morning here on bbc one. let's catch up with the weather forecast, we sought the weather in carmarthenshire earlier with james. i suppose people will want to know that there is no more rain on the way? more rain is on the way but it should ease in the next hours. this is south wales, in the brecon beacons they had excessive rain over
8:18 am
48 hours, this rain for the smuggling in south wales but it will soon move eastwards and ten drive from the west. they had flooding but also warmth across east anglia, 26 degrees there, only aid in scotland, thanks to this very slow—moving front, the cloud is associated with it here, just want to draw your eye to this area, hurricane leslie, strong winds and heavy rain to portugal overnight. back to the uk, this slow—moving front, it will develop a wave which means it will move away eastward and start to push westwards, which makes it tricky to get the details right. this is where rain is falling in the next six hours or so. we've got showers across northern and western scotland. heavy persistent rain across parts of england and wales with troublesome flashes of lightning that simple in away north and east. likely to linger across central and eastern parts of england
8:19 am
through the afternoon. the winds are lighter but notice the dip in temperature even though we should see sunshine arriving from the west behind the drain. fine conditions extending into north—west england and for much of scotland, although likely to have cloud of eastern scotla nd likely to have cloud of eastern scotland today. look at this band of rain, notice how it pushes back north and west with overnight. further outbreaks of rain from east anglia into the midlands, down towards the south coast. further north and west it looks drier with clear skies and a touch of frost will rule blends of scotland. share was this evening, overnight into tomorrow morning, tomorrow the band of rain begins to pull away slowly from the eastern coast but it will ta ke from the eastern coast but it will take its time. behind it, some spells of sunshine and acquired to date with lighter winds and highs between 11 and 17 celsius. across much of england and wales, this fund
8:20 am
will increase the cloud and bring outbreaks of rain into northern ireland and western scotland on monday, maybe some showers for northern england and the far north of wales yet nowhere near the amount of wales yet nowhere near the amount of rainfall we've seen in the last 48 hours. temperatures on tuesday between 11 and 16 celsius. the theme to ta ke between 11 and 16 celsius. the theme to take from this forecast is, through the coming week it is looking quieter. not as warm as it has been recently, it should be drier in the north and the east and rain at times in the north—west. back to you, roger and victoria. this is breakfast from bbc news, it is 8:21am. time for a look at the newspapers. anne—marie imafidon, who campaigns to get more girls engaged with science, is here to tell us what's caught her eye. we'll speak to anne—marie in a minute, first let's take a look at the front pages. if you are just at the might not
8:21 am
have seen them yet. the sunday telegraph says theresa may is facing a "growing rebellion" over her brexit proposals. it also has one of the official photos released from princess eugenie's wedding. the sunday times says former brexit secretary david davis is calling for ministers to rebel against the prime minister and her plan for leaving the eu, which he describes as "completely unacceptable. " the observer also leads on brexit, it says dup leader arlene foster believes a no—deal brexit is the most likely outcome. it also has a picture of olivia coleman who is playing the the queen in the new series of the crown. from one crown to another, some pictures of princess eugenie and the dress she wore at the evening event after her wedding. and the mail on sunday says a "plane mutiny" prevented the deportation of a somali man — who was a convicted sex offender — from britain.
8:22 am
lots more about that story in the mail on sunday. annamarie, let's look at the stories you have chosen. victoria was just asking me what my hidden talent was, lots of british people apparently have hidden talents. 8496 of them wish they could change their lives and empower themselves with the hidden talent apparently. towards the end of this, we read that the biggest excuse for not making the most of their lives is lack of confidence. it's something close to my heart, we are just about to embark on the monster confidence tore across the uk bringing stem confidence. stem means science and technology engineering and maths. we find this is something that a lot of girls and young women don't have confidence in and it might bea don't have confidence in and it might be a hidden talent that they can nurture. quite exciting to have the stats to say that this is maybe
8:23 am
something we should take to more people. it's such a big issue, but such a small story. perhaps your hidden talent is being able to hold up hidden talent is being able to hold up tiny pieces of paper! if i have a hidden talent, it is no bigger than this! you've found it! let's talk about this story. this is, who is in the frame for the £50 note. we will still get them even though we are increasingly being told that we are a cashless society. not quite cashless yet. we are going to change who is going to be on the £50 note. we did this a couple of years ago. with the £20 note. a number of people have been suggested, one being sir winston churchill, but we are looking at perhaps rosalind franklin, mary c cole has been put forward , franklin, mary c cole has been put forward, maybe another woman.“
8:24 am
anyone is looking for a profile... absolutely perfect. caroline, who famously campaigned last time, says we should perhaps choose a woman who doesn't have a statue. do you have a statue? not yet! it is interesting, though, because the £50 notes, they we re though, because the £50 notes, they were talking about phasing them out saying only criminals use it for money laundering. i don't know what it says about me but i have never had a £50 note. i have seen one once. they really big! and a p pa re ntly once. they really big! and apparently now they will be made of polymers as well. plastic. so you can put them in your back pocket and they will go through the wash. can put them in your back pocket and they will go through the washm thatis they will go through the washm that is what floats your boat. is not money—laundering! laughter the observer is talking about
8:25 am
artificial intelligence technology, the rise of the robots. we see these headlines all the time, they will ta ke headlines all the time, they will take ourjobs, and is one, this has come out of the social market foundation, looking at the fact that robots may increase our productivity and allow us to reduce our working week so that could bring the 38 hour working week, or 30 hours which is effectively for days. this might be something that can happen, needing to look a policy to make sure that it isn't just to look a policy to make sure that it isn'tjust time off but those productivity gains are passed on to workers, something i am looking at as part of my work with the institute and the future of work, we have to get ahead of these because if not we can't really rely on market leaders to ensure that employees are getting these benefits in addition to businesses. another interesting aspect to this, things around stress and mental health. we we re around stress and mental health. we were talking about world mental health day this week. we are getting
8:26 am
increasing levels of automation and everything should be becoming easier and we are supposed to relax and have a four—day week but we are more stressed than ever. is automation still such good thing? when done well and adopted, it is, but this is the great thing about technology, it has to be used and used well. we're working with the nhs in leeds and london over the next couple of months to again work with young women and how they use technology to improve mental health, developing apps and technologies. sometimes we need to tweak the technology so that it makes us less stressed rather than more stressed. they mention in the article that some technologies are being used to monitor work more closely, it is a case of, just because you can build it does not mean that you should. interesting.
8:27 am
thank you, anne—marie. it's 27 minutes past eight. andrew marr is here on bbc one at 10 this morning. you've got matt hancock on the programme. what else have you got? it's a frantic weekend, the brexit talks at crunch point, talk in the papers about cabinet resignations and possibly a general election before christmas. i don't believe that but nonetheless matt hancock will talk about it and also emily thornberry will talking about the kashoggi case. and joined by the person who runs next, he is keen on brexit and will be talking about the possibility of no deal and finally sirjackie stewart will talk to me about his wife's dementia and his plans to help solve the problem around the world. that will be at ten o'clock, thank you, andrew. coming up in the next half hour... the strictlyjudges seem to have
8:28 am
given their backing to seann and katya in their first dance since the infamous kiss, but will the public be so forgiving? we'll examine their performance with the help of two showbiz reporters. stay with us, the headlines are coming up. good morning welcome to breakfast with victoria fritz and rogerjohnson. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. a man's died in a landslide in west wales, as storm callum caused damage and disruption across the uk. torrential rain and heavy winds left thousands of homes and businesses without power. flooding and fallen trees left roads and rail lines blocked. forecasters say the worst of the rain has now passed,
8:29 am
but some flood warnings are still in place. members of the cabinet are being urged by the former brexit secretary, david davis, to unite against theresa may's plan for britain's withdrawal from the european union. writing in the sunday times he says the prime minister's proposals are "completely unacceptable", and there is an atmosphere of "panic" in downing street. it comes days before a crucial summit of eu leaders in brussels. britain and the united states are considering boycotting a major investment conference in saudi arabia later this month, following the disappearance of the saudi journalist, jamal khashoggi. president trump has threatened to inflict ”severe punishment" on saudi arabia amid claims by turkey that mr khashoggi was killed by saudi agents inside the country's consulate in istanbul. saudi arabia denies the allegations. examples of crashes and astonishing near—misses caught on drivers' dashcams have been released by police to discourage erratic driving. forces in norfolk and suffolk said they received about 150 videos
8:30 am
a month from the public over the past year — that's double the previous amount. they say about three quarters of the footage has led to drivers being warned, sent on driving courses or dealt with through the courts. they are astonishing pictures when you see them! the health secretary is launching a crackdown on people in england who wrongly claim free prescriptions. the nhs will also target rogue pharmacists and dentists who defraud the health service. matt hancock says he'll halve prescription fraud, which is thought to cost the nhs more than £250 million a year. but some pharmacists have criticised the government's approach, saying the measures could prevent patients from getting the medicines they need. what if the computer says no, this
8:31 am
isa what if the computer says no, this is a real dilemma. because sometimes, somebody has free prescriptions legitimately, they've got a medical exemption, they're something like a diabetic, they might forget to review it. computer says no, you cannot stop the diabetic having insulin for example. i think this is potentially fraught with problems. a big cat finally who has lost one of his nine lives. a seven—year—old cat clinging to a ladder. he fell nine—metres into an open well in a village in the west of the india. as he sat perched on the ladder they sent a crate down and managed to scoop him up. they did well to spot him! those are the main stories this morning. rugby league, a great showpiece for
8:32 am
a lwa ys rugby league, a great showpiece for always ends with the bank of the super league season but is there a fourfor super league season but is there a four for warrington fans. —— super league season but is there a fourfor warrington fans. —— ends with a bang. they lost the challenge cup as well. but what an end for wigan and their head coach as well. shaun wane, wigan warriors head coach, says this was the perfect finish after 30 years at the club. his final game in charge, before joining the scottish rugby union, saw them win their fifth grand final title after a tough 12—4 victory over warrington wolves. adam wild was at old trafford. this is rugby league's biggest moment. wigan warriors, grand final winners, and for some, the grandest final farewell. the journey to old trafford has taken a season to get here. a route both sets of fans know well. it's ourtime again! it's gonna happen! but for wigan coach shaun wane, one with extra significance — his final match with his hometown club after 30 years. a fairy tale finish was all that was left.
8:33 am
it was warrington, though, with the better start, asjosh charnley — once of wigan — slid in with the corner. but these sides were so evenly balanced, it wasn't long before the scores were even again too. when tom davies just managed to get his hand on this one, wigan had the lead before half—time. but that only ramped up tensions even higher. the break couldn't quite cool them down. but it took until the season's dying breath for wigan to win it. it came in the form of a warriors' roar. dom manfredi with the decisive score. heartbreak for the wolves of warrington. for this wigan side, the perfect end. i'm just happy for all the staff, the staff would make and loads of respect and work hard. i'm happy that we got the victory. it's great for the club for us to finish like this and we owe it to our fans, paper great comedy fans. they turn
8:34 am
up paper great comedy fans. they turn up every week. i'm sure we can get the victory for them. and so, a grand finalfairytale finish for the wigan warriors as they say goodbye to some of their biggest names. they finish on the ultimate high — super league champions again. and wigan have made it a double, in their first season since forming, the women's team won their grand final 18—16, denying leeds the treble. it's still the international football break, there were a couple of nations league matches yesterday. the republic of ireland, who are in wales' group, toughed out a goalless draw against denmark in dublin. the danes had the best of it but the republic did manage to create some late chances, this one falling to fulham's cyrus christie — saved well by kasper schmeichel. it's ireland's first point in the nations league — they host the welsh on tuesday after losing to them 4—1 to them in cardiff last month. germany's woes continue after their terrible world cup as they lost to the netherlands 3—0.
8:35 am
liverpool's virgil van dijk and georghino wijnaldum were among the scorers. it's their biggest win over the germans and their first in 16 years. what a night for the dutch. because we are in this international break it gives other sports more of a legend to get onto the back pages but i'm not sure freddie burns will be happy with some of the back pages. without this, the bath rugby union for back. try line gas is the ultimate low, this is in the champions cup. the european tournament. freddie's clanger. burns thatis tournament. freddie's clanger. burns that is defeat from the jaws of victory. and tears of a clown, that is harsh. he is a magnificent player but he said to be distraught from his howler. this is what happened. he had two chances to win the match
8:36 am
for bath in their champions cup opener against toulouse. he was over for a try, but as he started celebrating, the ball was poked out of his hand before he could ground it. he was distraught, that would have won it for bath. burns was distraught and was substituted by his coach, who said he was a little bit "mentally shot". burns posted this on social media last night... he's not going to make that mistake again. elsewhere, exeter drew 10—10 with munster. the chiefs were leading until ireland's cj stander scored in the second half at a windy sandy park. it was very blustery and difficult to play in. leicester were 3—0 up halftime against ulster but lost 24—10. elsewhere, edinburgh and scarlets both lost. there are four more champions cup matches today.
8:37 am
british golfer charley hull has missed out on a second lpga tour win, she was tied for the lead overnight in south korea and though she made five birdies in herfinal round four bogeys meant she couldn't keep pace with the home winner in gee chun. she was second, three shots behind hull. england's eddie pepperell will take a three—shot lead into the final day of the british masters. he's on nine under par. victory would see him break into the world's top 35. that one is taking place in walton heath. mick schumacher continues to follow in his fathers footsteps, the seven—time formula one champion, michael started out in formula three, and mick hasjust won the championship with a race to spare afterfinishing second in hockenheim. schumacher senior hasn't been seen in public since suffering serious head injuries in a skiing accident five years ago. mick now qualifies for a super license which you need to race in f1. toto wolff, lewis hamilton's boss at mercedes, says the 19—year—old
8:38 am
can become a great in the sport. strong words from toto wolff. we will see where he goes to next because he's champion in formula 3, says he's going to make his mind up with his people over the next couple of days where he races next. someone told me earlier, izzy michael junior? is actually mixed schumacher, that the same. —— mick schumacher. it's another father and son, we have the hill', ross byrne and his uncle. thank you. amid all the excitement of jody whittaker taking over as the first female dr who, the new series is also being praised for its diversity in other areas too. one of the show‘s new characters is shining a light on the neurological condition, dyspraxia, which affects movement
8:39 am
and co—ordination for around one in ten in the uk. in a moment we'll speak to someone with the condition, as well as a leading therapist in the field but first let's take a look as ryan learns to ride his bike. three, two, one, go! go! go on! go on, ryan! you're doing it, mate! nearly. no, not nearly. i'm sick of coming up here, i'm sick of falling. and i'm sick of this stupid bike. ryan sinclair, don't you dare. let's talk to a couple of guests
8:40 am
about this to see what they've got to say. ben smith can you have dyspraxia and sally is part of the dyspraxia and sally is part of the dyspraxia foundation who have begin. —— have the condition. you must be happy to see someone with the condition on that platform of doctor who? yes, having the awareness out there, taking the first step, finding out what it is. does that kind of thing affects people, it's fantastic. explain for people, dyspraxia, we talked in the office earlier about whether or not we have talked about things like dyslexia and things like that, i'm not sure we've talked about dyspraxia, certainly not very often. explain to be but what it is. it is a developmental condition that affects organisation of thought and movement which is basically everything —— explain to me what it is. in particular, it tends to be things
8:41 am
like riding a bike, and writing the mop remembering birthdays, struggling to concentrate or not concentrate so much that it's struggling to concentrate or not concentrate so much that its four hours later and you haven't had anything to eat. it's got a lot of different ways that it affects people. sadly, you've worked with ben for a while, you met him when he's younger, and you found coping strategies, how common a problem is this lots of people don't know about this lots of people don't know about this and i believe it's a lifelong condition, is that right? yes, it affects 5% of the school age population, 2% to a more severe degree and be research tells it into adolescence and adulthood in 50—70% of cases, so 3% of adults probably are affected. but as ben says, it affects people in different ways so people with dyspraxia are not the
8:42 am
same, it saved disorder that affects movement but also non—motor skills as well. it must make it difficult to diagnose if the way at present is different in different cases? yes, there are some key factors. we want to see the people's movement are more difficult than you'd expect to see given their age and the experience previously. there are some diagnostic criteria. it is a condition that is a medical diagnosis and people often see a occupational therapist or physical therapist as part of that assessment. then, this hasn't held you back has it? is difficult to say the it be back. —— it has held me back. i have achieved some big things with it, i've graduated with my degree and gone to a master ‘s programme. i think that's an experience a lot of dyspraxia people
8:43 am
have, it is easy to achieve a big thing where they can put their personal qualities into it, whether that intelligence, creativity, the determination we saw from in the episode, and small things like riding a bike or using knives and forks without spilling things on your trousers. this is one of the issues. some people struggle with using both hands at the same time. it's quite interesting, i'd like to get your thoughts on the episode where he is climbing up a ladder and using his feet rather than hands on the ladder. how realistic is the portrayal in your eyes? that something that struck you particularly, wasn't it for the ladder? i liked the way that he was betrayed. i think they need to diversify it and show him having more issues —— he was portrayed. but things like climbing the ladder, hands, hand, foot, foot. that is fantastic, that's the way i used you
8:44 am
climba fantastic, that's the way i used you climb a ladder as a kid. it is great that they put that effort into the small details. making dyspraxic people more represented. by coincidence i was speaking to somebody that his son was diagnosed with dyspraxia and his school had been able, when they spotted it, they had been able to tailor the way he was forced to enable him to achieve his best maximum potential. is it something, without wishing to be in anyway criticising the teaching professional, is it something teachers are well off, that it can be managed? yes, i think it is something, an awareness that is growing. way behind some of the other developmental conditions in terms of other developmental conditions in terms of awareness other developmental conditions in terms of awareness and that's one of the things that the dyspraxic foundation is keen to do, raise awareness in teachers to understand what they can do, so people can reach their potential in all areas of their lives. thank you both for coming in to talk with us. thank
8:45 am
you. you can catch up with all the episodes from the new series of doctor who on the bbc iplayer. if you didn't see it live first time around, lots of people did. here's alina with a look at this morning's weather. we have seen those pictures from wales, i don't know if that is one from yesterday but people have had a tough time. we've had torrential rain. over the past 48 hours. this is needed in south wales from yesterday ta ken by is needed in south wales from yesterday taken by one of our weather watchers, similar scenes across other areas “— weather watchers, similar scenes across other areas —— neath. the good news is it will be moving eastwards in the next few hours, drier conditions coming in from the west but it was a day of contrasts yesterday, 26.5 celsius in lincolnshire, just eight celsius across parts of scotland. but cooler airwill be across parts of scotland. but cooler air will be putting south—eastward through today and all the rain has come from this slow—moving front, i
8:46 am
wa nt to come from this slow—moving front, i want to draw your eyes to this area, this was hurricane leslie, bringing damaging winds and heavy rain across parts of portugal overnight, moving eastwards and spain. but for delay back home, we got this slow—moving front, it will be lingering for another 24 hours yet. this is the early rainfall radar, outbreaks across northern scotland moving away. meanwhile, more rain is piling in from wales, southern england were moving north and east. rumbles of thunder and lightning. it moves north and east, brighter skies will develop across wales and south—east england, but that rain lingers across central and eastern parts of england through much of the day. it will affect the chapters, not higher than 13-14dc. will affect the chapters, not higher than 13—14dc. the winds are lighter. meanwhile, it's a fine day with good spells of sunshine with showers in scotland. it should be mainly dry with spells of sunshine. it moves
8:47 am
away from a time with this evening and works its way back westwards overnight, perhaps getting as far west as the use of wales by dawn tomorrow. by this, clearerskies come a touch of frost across scotland, close to freezing. through tomorrow, we have a front lingering, trying to move its way back south and east would eventually we see some drier, brighter conditions from the north and west, and otherfine day for northern ireland and michael scotland, away from the far north west, which will catch a few showers. we have an area of high pressure a cross showers. we have an area of high pressure across much of england and wales on tuesday, then another front comes in from the atlantic, increasing cloud, bringing rain into northern ireland, northern and western scotland, some of the rain comes in the far north of england but maybe north wales, but not nearly as much rain as we are seeing is the last 48 hours. ahead, up to 16 celsius, but maybe 11—12 on tuesday but next week, things are looking quieter. it would be nearly
8:48 am
as warm as we have seen in the end of last week. the driest in the south and east, some rain at times in the north and west. back to you. thank you, enjoy your sunday. i know you will be working on it to afternoon but thank you very much. you might remember a few weeks ago we told you about researchers at the royal horticultural society who had discovered something in their archives that they needed help with. they were trying to track down the family of a woman who won a gardening scholarship in 1898 — but who had never been allowed to claim her prize, because she was a woman. after a bit of detective work her relatives were finally tracked down. helen briggs went to meet them. a well—tended garden in the yorkshire dales. it belongs to the granddaughter of a certain miss harrison, and she has fond memories of the woman, whose passion for plants was legendary in the family. i think my strongest
8:49 am
memory as an 8—9 year old, being taken for walks in the country and being shown the names of all the flowers. we never missed a flower, we went past all the flowers, she knew all the names. now we know her name. olive mary edmondson, nee harrison, and missing details of her life. her family always knew about her success in the exam, having kept papers and letters. they are being shared today with the rhs, who denied her the scholarship all those years ago, but did award a medal. we knew she'd had a medal because she had come top, but that's all we knew. nothing about the scholarship? nothing about the scholarship, no. just look at the pioneering class. photos show olive attended the swanley horticultural college, where she was the first women of her time to be trained and one of the first women to enter the gardening profession. she was a gardener all her life, which is really lovely to know, and to know that she actually
8:50 am
gardened professionally. despite not getting the scholarship, she returned back to swanley and then went to work for the cadbury family as a gardener until she got married in 1904 and then she had a family life. it is clear olive's green fingers passed down the generations. she spent her life looking after family and plants and this is the last garden she tended. it's also where her family come to remember her. olive had four children and eventually moved to settle. even in herfinal years, she was helping in the garden of this church. this is the memorial and you can see that she is the second person down. and she died after about four years in settle. then she was 92. good life, well lived. and she can now take place in gardening history alongside otherfemale pioneers.
8:51 am
helen briggs, bbc news. the mystery is solved. there we go, well done live. —— well done olive. it was the most hottly anticipated dance in strictly come dancing history last night, as comedian seann walsh took to the floor with his dance partner katya jones for the first time since pictures of them kissing on a night out hit the headlines. some of you are sick of hearing about it but for one final time we will talk about it now. they got a warm reaction from the audience, and an impressive score of 28 from the judges for their charleston. but were they right not to address the elephant in the room? it has been photo shopped into lots of stuff on twitter! let's take a look back at their performance. it's been quite a week but tonight it's all about the dancing. their routine is set in a pizza restaurant and they're hoping to deliver a great charleston. # i got bills!
8:52 am
# all these bills pile up my desk # they looking like a mount everest # all the little kids run around # i can hear their stomach growl # i got bills # everybody got bills craig revel horwood. 6. darcey bussell. 7. shirley ballas. i loved it, 8. and bruno tonioli. 7. joining us now are guardian journalist heidi stephans and showbiz reporter for the sun beril naz hassan. good morning. both watched it last
8:53 am
night. 0h, good morning. both watched it last night. oh, yes. what did you think of it? i don't think i was as excited by seann and katya's cha rleston as excited by seann and katya's charleston as the judges were, it looked woolly in this places but they are the experts so they obviously saw something i didn't. they kept quite a long way away from each other to make? also based what i thought they were supposed to be doing a run but this week. everyone, one looked on social media, they we re one looked on social media, they were saying happy charleston expert was almost like a little, i'm going to stay in between you girls wouldn't get to close. i thought that in between you guys, i won't get too close. i didn't feel that passion, i thought are they looking at each other in a different way, are they touching each other? it was such a shame for strictly fans. the whole thing is rather awkward. we
8:54 am
saw the stuff in the week with seann‘s now ex—girlfriend taking to twitter. last night, her husband was standing in the background because he is one of the other dancers, the whole thing is really awkward isn't it? it's been awkward all week. it started out when it all came to light last weekend, then of course there was rebecca's statement on tuesday then it was it takes to on thursday but strictly is meant to be a joyful show. it is supposed to be about inspiring people and about everybody having a lot of fun and there are some hugely inspiring people and strictly this year. i'd love to be here talking about this but we are talking aboutjohn and katya and that has cast a shadow for me. i don't know if this is a conspiracy theory but it's worth raising. lots of people saying on social media that the bbc may have
8:55 am
done this deliberately intent of the ordering because they were the penultimate couple on the figure in terms of the ordering. do you think thatis terms of the ordering. do you think that is fair or is there some truth to that? is the nature of broadcast, you need to keep the viewer on. it goes on to late at night, if this saturday, people might switch off and do something else, it's very strategic and worked in their favour, i haven't seen the numbers yet but i was hooked, i was thinking the whole time, what are seann and katya going to do? what will the judges say? i was disappointed when they come everyone pretended nothing happened. i would like to hear a tiny bit of sarcasm or a joke. somehow lightening the situation but at the centre addressing what has happened. there was that one line, claudia said it's in quiet week and tess said about to view headline.
8:56 am
nothing on steadily happens by accident, it well oiled machine. —— apart from a few headlines. the built up and how it has been handled will have been thought about budgets cast a cloud over this year's show but at the same time, the show has been running for 15 years and it's important people keep talking about it. there is a price to pay because if the conversation that is happening is not a positive one, there is a trade that where people start to think maybe the gloss has gone and the glitter has gone from the show. one of the things you said, it is meant to be light entertainment and how you handle these sorts of things are done with real precision on the programme like this, as you say it is a well all machine. katya's husband in a background of a few shocks, you have to feel for him. victim with s. claudia says it's been an amazing
8:57 am
week. not for the guy in the back of the shop shot. not ‘s ex—girlfriend. i thought that was insensitive and thoughtless. is there a strictly curse? i don't think there was a customer is the nature of the beast, sometimes it's too single dinefwr fall in love, other times it is more like this. —— two single people falling in love. i don't know if it is always a curse but they spend so much time together, they wake up and go to rehearsals, they spend probably every waking hour together apart from their dayjobs. i think it's bound to happen, they are bound to feel closer than they should as dance partners at some point. thank you for coming in, you travel to be with us as well. thank you. and you can find out whether seann and katya have made it through to dance another day in tonights results show at 07:45 on bbc one. that's it from breakfast this morning.
8:58 am
