good morning, welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and ben thompson. our headlines today... an end to a cold war era nuclear agreement — president trump says the united states will pull out of a treaty it signed with russia more than 30 years ago. russia has not unfortunately honoured the agreement so we're gonna terminate the agreement. we're going to pull out. after hundreds of thousands of people take to the streets to call for a further referendum, the brexit secretary sets out his stall for the next stage of the eu negotiations. the duke and duchess of sussex continue their royal tour in australia but kensington palace says the duchess won't be attending other engagements today. in sport, lewis hamilton can win his fifth formula one world title today. if he wins the us grand prix from pole and sebastian vettel finishes lower than second. good morning to you. yesterday was a lovely day for many of us — a lot of sunshine around. not quite as much sunshine today and there is some rain in the forecast. join me laterfor the details.
8:01 am
it's sunday the 21st of october. our top story. president trump has said the united states will pull out of a landmark nuclear weapons treaty it signed with russia more than 30 years ago. the nuclear forces treaty led to the destruction of hundreds of tactical weapons, but washington has accused the kremlin of breaching the agreement. here's our north america correspondent chris buckler. the intermediate—range nuclear forces treaty was seen as a landmark accord when it was agreed by russia and the us 30 years ago. it led to the destruction of hundreds of missiles by both countries, but the white house insists that russia has ignored inf treaty by producing, testing and deploying banned cruise missiles. president trump now says that he is no longer prepared to let the kremlin violate an agreement that america has honoured. we're not gonna let them violate a nuclear agreement and go out and do weapons and we're
8:02 am
not allowed to. we're the ones that have stayed in the agreement and we've honoured the agreement, but russia has not unfortunately so we're gonna terminate the agreement. we're going to pull out. his national security adviserjohn bolton is holding meetings in moscow at the start of the week and is expected to tell russian leaders that the us is withdrawing from the treaty. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. brexit secretary dominic raab says the uk should boycott proposals to delay leaving the eu unless brussels relents on the irish backstop. his comments come after campaigners claim around 700,000 protestors marched for another referendum. let's talk now to our political correspondent tom barton. we've seen the huge numbers — but will this march make any difference? the reality is that while those hundreds of thousands of people did
8:03 am
make their voices heard yesterday, it is unlikely that the call for a referendum is going to be listened to. by those in power. that's four to. by those in power. that's four to being reasons, firstly the date of british exit from the eu in march next year is set in law and will be difficult to change but the second is the government has made it clear they are just not interested in the idea, so unless something dramatic changes then the policy is probably unlikely to change for although of course as we've seen so much recently, politics is so changing at the moment that no one will rule out dramatic change. that is because the government is stuck between a rock and two hard places, the rock of the eu, those protesters and of course the pro—brexit mps on the conservative backbenchers. that is what is behind dominic raab‘s comments today as he tries to unblock those stalled negotiations,
8:04 am
we would hear if he is successful in doing that until we've heard what the european union mix of what he has to say. thank you. the eu has described the death of journalist jamal khashoggi inside the saudi consulate in istanbul as ‘deeply troubling'. it comes as pressure grows on the saudi authorities to explain the circumstances surrounding the death of the prominent critic. turkish officials say they have evidence he was murdered, but saudi arabia is claiming he died in a fist fight. his colleagues at the washington post say they're determined to get the truth. this feels like an attack not only onjamal, it feels like an attack on the washington post. he was one of us, he did so much in order to write and so i think that the mood here is one of anger but determination to get to the bottom of this and to not let this go. a woman has died after a suspected gas explosion tore through a flat
8:05 am
in north west london overnight. three people, including a baby, were rescued from the property in harrow after the blast set the building on fire this morning. around a0 people were evacuated from nearby properties as firefighters tackled the blaze. children with life—limiting conditions have been let down by the nhs and local councils across england, according to a new report. a cross party group of mps says as many as one in three clinical commissioning groups do not provide specialist out—of—hours care. the report has been seen exclusively by bbc radio five live investigates. its presenter adrian goldberg joins us now with the details. what does it show? it's an interesting report all 75 pages of it, looking at the conditions for 40,000 children across england who have life limiting conditions. they will eventually lead to their deaths. but in the time that they survive, they might need some kind of respite care for their parents,
8:06 am
pain relief, the chance to go on one last holiday and what the situation described in the report is, and extremely patchy so in some parts of the country there was good practice and in others, lack of out—of—hours ca re and in others, lack of out—of—hours care all provision for nursing staff or respite for parents. the department of health retains that palliative care in this country remains the best in the world and are committed to the end of life choice care path for young people but clearly, this report asks a lot of searching questions about the availability and quality of end of life ca re availability and quality of end of life care for young people. thank you. more on that a little later, we talk to people affected by that story. the duchess of sussex is cutting back on the number of engagements she will attend during the remainder of the royal tour of australia. kensington palace has not given a reason for the change of plans, however yesterday prince harry urged his pregnant wife to pace herself after she was feeling
8:07 am
tired at the opening of the invictus games. 0ur sydney correspondent hywel griffith joins us now. hywel, what more can you tell us? pregnant woman finds demanding schedule quite tough and takes a step back, its no great story is that? absolutely but it doesn't stop the clamour of headlines and gossip. but with the dog there are no proper health for major concerns around this, it's pretty inevitable that the long flight here and the full on schedule would catch up with anyone. while she wasn't at the first engagement today, recycling competition at the domain back there behind the opera house, she was at a lunch with the australian prime minister to meet the competitors and was out and about enjoying the sailing from sydney harbour tunnel the we are told she will be travelling tomorrow to frazer island but she won't be visible and taking
8:08 am
pa rt but she won't be visible and taking part in engagements. but she will go to the pacific items produced bgn tonga, cb travelling continue apace and the public fascination is set to continue —— to fiji and tonga. a record—breaking us lotteryjackpot of 1.6 billion dollars — around £1.2 billion — is up for grabs tonight. whoever gets to claim the prize can choose to have the full amount paid out over a 29 year period, or they could take a still huge lump sum of $900 million. decisions, decisions. would you do lump sum? no, lifetime. that's quite a lot each year. the chance to become america's newest billionnaire comes after players failed to pick the winning numbers on friday. people have been going nuts in the united states who buy lottery tickets. that is beyond life
8:09 am
changing, its tickets. that is beyond life changing, it's absolutely fundamental it changes your perception of everything. good luck with the ticket if you are in america! let's talk a about some other big numbers. an estimated 700,000 people took to the streets to demand another brexit referendum yesterday, in a protest organised by the so—called people's vote movement. critics argue the uk has already cast its vote and decided to leave, but others say there are growing numbers who now believe the public should get a say on the final deal. let's crunch those numbers. joining us now are the daily mirror's associate editor kevin maguire and david wooding, political editor at the sun on sunday. good morning to you both. kevin, we saw those pictures yesterday, about 700,000 we are led to believe on the streets, it won't make any difference will it? a huge march, the biggest since the anti—about war march in 2003,! iraq war. it had no impact on tony blair about
8:10 am
what the organisers fear but it's a fine where public opinion is going, i think momentum is now with those who are questioning the wisdom of leaving the european union when the brexit that was promised in the original referendum does not exist, whether it is £350 million a week more for the nhs or the easiest deal in history, that is clearly untrue. we are now seeing the costs of what would happen if we left the european union, ican would happen if we left the european union, i can see the case for having a referendum which would be a real choice, people are better informed now than they ever have been, and it will be the real choice of staying in the european union, warts and all, or the cost of leaving. david, you heard 700,000 people, more information, with better informed, surely the government has to respond? the people have got a right to march, it's a great thing that people can take to the streets and march about anything from the iraq
8:11 am
warand the march about anything from the iraq war and the referendum but equally the government have the right to ignore them. we had a choice, we happy second referendum in 2016, those too young to vote in 1970 tommy bowe to remain at the second chance and they voted to leave. —— it was a big number but it is dwarfed by the 17.4 million who voted to leave in the biggest democratic exercise in british history. and interested in you say such an important issue, a clear mood shift in what people make of brexit. it's not on your front paper, 700,000 people marching and you've got a different story? yes but it's also not leading on bbc news either, it's inside the paper, interviews and analysis so that's
8:12 am
how you cover it. brexit is an ongoing story, it won't go away because of a huge issue for our country. i think comparing people who voted in the referendum with those on the march is different. the only way the referendum result for brexit, it means different things to different people, it's not like there is a single brexit. i think there is a single brexit. i think the only way it could be halted actually with another referendum, people will march, politicians will listen, some mps will be emboldened by it, maybe labour as well because at the momentjeremy corbyn is still at the momentjeremy corbyn is still a brexit politician, his backing brexit taking labour out, not keen on referendum itself, he won the general election. use here that number of people, you can't dismiss them as a liberal metropolitans delete, whatever figure they are coming you cannot just delete, whatever figure they are coming you cannotjust dismiss them
8:13 am
as an elite. people of all ages and backgrounds were out there demonstrating, saying, give us a vote and they say. people are better informed now on the issues and we now watch staying in means better and we certainly know what leaving would mean better. the protest did leave the bbc front pages all day yesterday. not today, though. when the protest took place, it was on the protest took place, it was on the front page. papers are today, not yesterday. i want to talk about the pressure raised by kevin in the towns of politicians' response, he says jeremy corbyn potentially wants to see some movement but relative silence from all the politicians yesterday? we didn't hear much at all? the difficulty is, we've had the referendum, those leaflets posted to every home in the country costing millions of pounds of taxpayers money, said we will invent what you decide and they are now,
8:14 am
because it's difficult to implement doesn't mean we should pack them all m, doesn't mean we should pack them all in, a lot of the people who went out yesterday on the march are people who wanted to reverse the referendum decision who voted remain in the first place. meanwhile in harrogate, people demonstrated wanting brexit delivered. three people and a dog! the question is, what with the question be on the referendum? would it be if we wait vote, that —— a street wait vote, that would split the levers and give a win to remain. that would be wrong. if they continued or reversed brexit, would we have the best—of—3? it would take along process, more uncertainty for business, we should just get on with it. more questions than answers. it's good to talk to you both. i'm sure debate will continue on that
8:15 am
balcony. here's stav with a look at this morning's weather. beautiful morning somewhere out and about this morning, it's been lovely weather over the weekend? it has been. we saw it up to the job 24 celsius across the north east of scotla nd celsius across the north east of scotland —— top temperature. we will have cooler westerly winds, a bit of a north houston south divide at the moment. we have a bright skies: mist and fog in parts of england, and then spots around as well. in the north, particularly north west scotland, it is pouring down because we have the weather front moving south—eastwards through the course of the day. it reaches england and wales, and borstals or out and there will be a band of cloud with some rain. disappointing start to your thunder across and northern ireland. further south, plenty of sunshine with mist and fog, but the cloud
8:16 am
will arrive later so skies turning grey here. holding onto the sunshine and the light winds today and skies brightening up across scotland and northern ireland behind that whether from there, it will be blustery with some showers in western scotland. not as one today in the north, but we could to 18 or 19 in the south east where we hold onto the sunshine. the band of cloud move southeast this evening and overnight, eventually clearing away in the south, blustery showers across the north of scotland, but for most it will be a clear and pretty chilly breezy night with problems from mist and fog but temperatures down into low single figure. the area of high pressure dominates for not of next weekend, bringing fire unsettled weather but this weather front across the north of the country will bring rain on the lawn half of scotland on monday and tuesday, it will also be very windy across scotland and especially northern scotland. we have gales throughout the day. but you see the
8:17 am
map is pretty clear through the day, there will be a lot of sunshine around but the noticeable feature will be the breeze that all the temperature is not as warm as in the last few days, as of 13 or 14. high—pressure still in on tuesday, further rain across scotland, the winds turning to a north—westerly direction, so it could be cooler still in fact as we had through tuesday. some of the rain could infringe on to the far north of england otherwise most of england are miles and not parts of northern ireland will be dry. —— most of england and wales. 13 or 14 degrees again. through the rest of the week, largely dry because of that area of high pressure, but by the time we reached next week, it will turn colder next weekend with winds from the arctic and it will be quite noticeable. back to you. i was just saying, the clocks change next weekend as well so this is your
8:18 am
early warning for that. extra hour in bed, though. that doesn't make up for it being dark permanently! last year, 3,750 teachers took long—term sick leave due to work—related stress and anxiety. more than three—quarters of teachers in england have experienced mental health issues and more than half are considering leaving the profession. the charity — the education support partnership, campaigns for better mental health provision and says its findings highlight a stress epidemic. we're joined now in the studio by chief executivejulian stanley. good morning. some of these figures are good morning. some of these figures a re pretty good morning. some of these figures are pretty stark, aren't they? it shows how tough it can be for many teachers. yes and the context is if we wa nt teachers. yes and the context is if we want to retain and recruit people into, talented people into the profession, and keep them in the profession, and keep them in the profession, then we must look more at the health and well—being, have they supported, because the results
8:19 am
in this report which is a teacher well—being index, has been thoroughly researched and our counselling team and 1500 people taking part. it shows 76% of those people who took part are finding the workload pressures creates stress and that has a massive impact on worklife balance. we have do do something to make those people feel supported when times are tough. what is driving this? we talk about the pressures , is driving this? we talk about the pressures, is that class sizes, is it resources or financing because there was not enough money to go around to make sure there is another pairof hands? around to make sure there is another pair of hands? undoubtably there are financial pressures to receive the education marchers with teachers and head teachers for the first time on the streets about budgetary pressures so i think there are budget question. but as ever in teaching there are political problems around funding. people cannot wait for those to be resolved to do something and it is a fantastic profession. the report also highlights teachers in their d roves love also highlights teachers in their droves love working in it. but they
8:20 am
find their pressure is hard to cope with and we are asking for more attention to be paid in teacher training in particular to be prepared for terrain ahead, and access during the journey. sometimes it is hard to be vulnerable particularly if your teacher, because you don't want to be seen michael not performing. but this isn't just about the demands on modern day teaching —— like you are not performing. some schools have good leadership and management to make sure teachers are looked after. there are excellent example. we work in many schools around the country and we work with peer to peer programmes with workforces, and you see the improvements that are possible in helping people prioritise and cope with the pressures they are under. we also runa pressures they are under. we also run a 24—hour helpline that is free and people call us on that, we take 9000 calls a year so it's gone up
8:21 am
horrendously, 35% increase in the last 12 months. it's telling there is an issue, we don't want to lose the teachers that we've got and get people in drop from a policy point of view we need to help those that need support. let's talk about practical solution. what can schools change to make it easier for teachers to teach? i imagine a lot of these things are applicable in other workplaces as well. it's consistently the case that the levels of stress are higher in education than other professions that statistically shows improvement. i think in terms of leaders do, outside of immediate control, there are demands for data and technical reports and obviously no teacher wants to be in a position where they're not doing the best possible, headteachers drive to make sure children get the best possible education. but it's about
8:22 am
clarifying, acknowledging that it's 0k and safety say you have a problem. that continues across the board to be an issue. so expressing vulnerability, access to resources, making time available. , vulnerability, access to resources, making time available., if we don't put the people first in education, then we are on a losing ticket because it is people who make it happen every day in classrooms up and down the country. it is good to talk to you, thank you. we should say the department for education says, as julian say the department for education says, asjulian touches on, are taking ina says, asjulian touches on, are taking in a lot of sets, collaborating with teachers unions, and 0fsted to strip away excessive workload which can affect well—being. but thank you. workload which can affect well-being. but thank you. thank you. the andrew marr show is on bbc one at ten o'clock this morning, they talk killing zone, that's how people feel on your show isn't it? not quite. andrew, what do you have on today's programme? this was supposed to be the weekend
8:23 am
when theresa may bob at the divorce deal but at the russell summit, something went wrong. what? —— brought back the divorce deal. i will be talking with france's minister and jonathan pryce about one of the best places to hit the west end for many years, about dementia. it's something many people are facing. thank you, that is coming up later. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, it's time now for a look at the newspapers. journalist emma bullimore is here to tell us what's caught her eye. her speciality is tv so we will get to some of those big stories as well. you're dying to talk about strictly! sta rt
8:24 am
start in the observer which is a discussion about private schools with often brilliant sporting facilities and now they want to be opened up. if you look into this, a push for state school the peoples, half of them cannot swim by 11 push for state school the peoples, half of them cannot swim by 1! comic you think that people go swimming in childhood and they are saying that private schools need to share their facilities. more than half of schools with a pool are sharing their facilities, this schools with a pool are sharing theirfacilities, this is more worrying that, is it a fact that kids are getting two lessons with their parents? visit they cannot get access to leisure centres? i went to access to leisure centres? i went to a state school but didn't learn to swim at school. but they do have compulsory is running as part of key stage two, i think. you have to go for a term, but identifies people that are struggling. it might make you stronger but it is not where you start out, it usually encourage kids to go to mother and baby groups or
8:25 am
make it cheaper, i don't know. when we talk about schools billing mega—selling off playing —— selling off playing fields, its tough? whether schools are saying we are more than happy to do this. i didn't go to a private school but we had this astroturf hockey pitch, and other schools used it. it's part of the extra funding, if you have charitable status at the mantle of use i think it's a misnomer to blame the private schools for that. we should look at why they are getting lessons to start with. i went to state school as well, we had a pool and it was freezing. i would have done anything i could to stay out of it. let's talk about this great picture in the times, in a lot of newspapers, actually. this is rehearsing the speaks for the invictus games. 0ne audience member for the rehearsal. one plus one, meghan and her baby. for the rehearsal. one plus one, meghan and her babylj
8:26 am
for the rehearsal. one plus one, meghan and her baby. i think it's a sweet picture. he's doing his little rehearsal and she's there supporting him because an experienced performer. it's very sweet. the invictus games kicked off last night and it's purely a personal project for him. i'm not a big fan of fruit and savoury food. i don't like raisins in my coronation chicken, or pineapple on my pizza. and now they're talking about this! this is jackfruit, the key to vegan as if you look instagram. the consistency is similarto you look instagram. the consistency is similar to pork or chicken or duck, so it's used in vegan mealfor it doesn't look advertising... it's not very sweet. you put sauce on it and it mimic something else. they're throwing lots of it away so are getting into it. it's a branding
8:27 am
exercise. there is a butternut squash, keno are patty and beetroot mayo as well as pulled jackfruit. it's not the kind of saturday night comfort food i have! what do you have when you're watching strictly? i was eating chocolate. it was awarded to danny and amy, fantastic jive. doussain obviously going in, on sean wharf so are not letting it go on sean wharf so are not letting it 9° -- on sean wharf so are not letting it go —— the sun. they are saying he's been frozen out of the whatsapp. the strictly whatsapp is a stuff of legend, it's a big deal. he's losing status though. the politics would be what —— with the whatsapp is
8:28 am
important because if you write a message and don't get a response did message and don't get a response, it's tumbleweed. the casualty actor did their choice. they can do street dance theatre. amend the gas jobs alfonso. —— and then the guestjudge, alfonso. he was fantastic. we can talk for much more. i will be here on the bbc news channel until nine this morning. coming up in the next hour... we'll be asking if lewis hamilton can make history today, by clinching his fifth f1 world championship. all of that still to bbc news but goodbye for viewers on hello, this is breakfast with rachel burden and ben thompson. it's 8.30, here's a summary of this morning's main news: president trump has said the united states intends to pull out of a nuclear weapons treaty it signed more than 30 years ago — accusing russia of violating the deal. the nuclear forces treaty led
8:29 am
to the destruction of hundreds of tactical weapons and is meant to protect the security of the us and its allies in europe and the far east. brexit secretary dominic raab has said the uk could avoid a potential extension to the transition period after brexit — to prevent a hard border in northern ireland. his comments, made in today's sunday telegraph, claim that any extended transition period would be instead of the so—called ‘backstop' arrangements being demanded by the eu. it comes after over half a million people attended a march organised by the "people's vote" movement. the eu has described the death of journalist jamal khashoggi inside the saudi consulate in istanbul as ‘deeply troubling'. it comes as pressure grows on the saudi authorities to explain the circumstances surrounding the death of the prominent critic. turkish officials say they have evidence he was murdered, but saudi arabia is claiming he died in a fist fight. his colleagues at the washington post say they're
8:30 am
determined to get the truth. this feels like an attack not only onjamal, it feels like an attack on the washington post. he was one of us, he did so much in order to write and so i think that the mood here is one of anger but determination to get to the bottom of this and to not let this go. a woman has died after a suspected gas explosion tore through a flat in north west london overnight. three people, including a baby, were rescued from the property in harrow after the blast set the building on fire this morning. around 40 people were evacuated from nearby properties as firefighters tackled the blaze. the duchess of sussex is cutting back on the number of engagements she will attend during the remainder of the royal tour of australia. kensington palace has not given a reason for the change of plans, however yesterday prince harry urged his pregnant wife to pace
8:31 am
herself after she was feeling tired at the opening of the invictus games. meghan will continue on the rest of the tour in fiji, tonga and new zealand. the red arrows are set to hold their largest ever tour of north america next year, spending nine—weeks in the us and canada. the royal air force aerobatic team has not performed in the region since 2008. the government says it will generate £2.5 billion of investment for britain. those are the main stories this morning. iam i am fascinated by this because i don't know what the ranges of those planes, maybe someone can tell us whether they fly that to the us or they get a commercial airliner. they are rather small, aren't they? would are rather small, aren't they? would a fit and fuel on board to go all the way to the us? i don't think so. they get a nice seat with a glass of wine and a bit of a meal. and the
8:32 am
planes are on a container ship somewhere. let's get the sport. as we've been hearing, lewis hamilton is on the verge of winning his fifth world championship. it's not in the bag, but... it could be strategic. trying to hold off sebastian vettel who must come second behind hamilton to stop him winning the title. he starts an old but there are various team—mates who could come through. it has a good record on this grand prix? five out of six races, yes, lewis hamilton seems pretty at home at the circuit of the americas, on the verge of winning his fifth world championship. he starts today's us grand prix on pole position and has a strong record in texas, with five victories at the venue. joining us now is former british f1 driverjohn watson. thank you forjoining us this
8:33 am
morning when lewis hamilton could wina morning when lewis hamilton could win a fifth world title. what do you think, will he do it? he will start on pole position, he has the best opportunity to get into turn one ahead of the pack. as long as there is not a torpedo coming on the inside you take him out, one would assume with the pace on qualifying, his record at the circuit of americans, it's his world championship to walk away from this afternoon. this would be a faith which puts him injoint third on the list of all—time greats. in terms of statistics, anyway. in terms of his talent, what he has achieved at his age, where do you think he is in ability in terms of the all—time greats? where does he measure up with senna and michael schumacher as an athlete, as a driver, what do you make of that? first of all this is a racing machine. he's basically been racing machine. he's basically been racing all his adult life and most of his adolescent life. he is
8:34 am
continuing to break records, he is clearly the most successful british grand prix driver in history with four world championships and a faith almost in his hands this afternoon. he can look forward to challenging the seventh world championship that michael schumacher achieved in his career. he has equalled or will equal the five world championships of my all—time favourite one martell, durrant of my all—time favourite one martell, durra nt although of my all—time favourite one martell, durrant although blowback too 50s when formula 1 was in its infa ncy too 50s when formula 1 was in its infancy compared to where it where it is today. i think it will be second in the list of all—time greats in terms of championships behind michael schumacher. schumacher won hamilton will be on five. do you think you will push on to equal that record, maybe even better schumacher? there is often talk at the end of the season around lewis hamilton. i think at the end of last season he said i willjust do another couple of years, do you think you will carry on? clearly he will as long as they is capable ——
8:35 am
as long as he has a car capable of winning championships. the others now developing other interests outside of motor racing, clearly his interest in fashion fashion and music, he wants to be a rock and roll star. he is a rock and roll star in reality, he is a brand. he is clueless. where ever you go in the world, particularly north america, he is by a country mile the best formula 1 driver in north america. why do you think then he is not as popular here with fans? he is quite a divisive character? some people think is the best athlete that britain has ever produced, everything he has achieved means he should be celebrated as one of the all—time greats in british sport, let alone formula 1. other people cannot quite get on with him, cannot get into his personality or support him. why do you think that is? is it the sport? formula1 is
8:36 am
him. why do you think that is? is it the sport? formula 1 is difficult in many ways because it is not as accessible as other sports, suddenly football, rugby, cricket, where the heroes are very much playing their sport in our backyard. formula 1 has a grand prix in britain, one a year, that's the only time we get to see lewis racing in great britain. i think inherently he's quite a shy personality, i think he uses techniques to overcome that in the public domain but he is private, quiet, he gets away from the grand prix field than circuit and goes off and does what he wants to do. record and does what he wants to do. record an album, he's desperate to get this album released. he wants to be a top ten number one album, that's one of his aspirations. he is involved heavily in fashion, he's very co mforta ble heavily in fashion, he's very comfortable in north america, he finds north american society and the culture they have evolved or their short history to fit into what he is with. thank you so much, i know you will be watching the us grand prix later on. lewis hamilton goings on at fifth world title. —— going for
8:37 am
that fifth world title. we've already had one motorsport world champion crowned this morning... marc marquez in the motogp — for the fifth time — the third in a row. his main rival, italian andrea dovisioso slid off his bike with just two laps to go. marquez is nowjoint third in the list of world championship winners. another firey afternoon forjose mourinho at stamford bridge — but he says all is forgiven, after a bit of a scuffle right at the end of the match. ross barkley equalised for chelsea late in injury time and the match finished 2—all. afterwards, one of the chelsea coaches, marco ianni appeared to say something to mourinho — who was held back by several stewards. he was very impolite but sarri took care of the situation. he apologised immediately, and after the game, his assistant also apologised to me, which i accept these apologies, so for me, the story is over, but don't do what everybody does that says that is mourinho that does thing.

8:42 am
such a blistering year for him. interesting what you were saying about lewis hamilton, he does not have the same respect in comparison to other figures and perhaps popularity but huge respect. he came into five lies a few years back and was absolutely brilliant. i had a lwa ys was absolutely brilliant. i had always thought he was a bit slick but he spoke to were young lads doing his go—karting and lewis hamilton was his hero and he was so lovely to him. we don't get to see him very much. he does not live in the uk, does a lot of travelling. he isa the uk, does a lot of travelling. he is a brilliant sportsmen. for parents of children with life—limiting conditions, looking after them turns into a 24—hourjob requiring constant care. but now, a new report is warning that many of these children are being let down by the nhs and local councils. we're joined by the chief executive of together for short lives, andy fletcher, and hayley smallman, whose daughter was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, epilepsy and chronic lung disease.
8:43 am
we have met before, we heard a bit about holly in the past. you have had a really tough year with holly, how is she doing? we have spent the last eight months in critical care. she got initially injanuary a chest infection, but as what happens with a lot of children with complex health needs, she deteriorated in hospital quite a lot. we faced three quite poignant moments where we were prepared possibly to lose her within the next 24 hours. her overall condition and her overall quality of life has deteriorated quite a lot over the last year. you are her care 24 hours a day, seven days a week. yeah, relentless, there's no break. hollywood requires us to keep her safe and well, we have do maintain
8:44 am
her airways overnight, she has multiple seizures every day. she can stop reading at any given moment so myself and my husband had to care for her 24 hours a day. extraordinary pressure. when we hear stories like that of what people are going through, it strikes me that in your case as well, 24/7 care is needed but in some cases the support is only available monday to friday nine to five, how can that be the case? absolutely, as haley said, our children are becoming more complex. we are able to do more in terms of health intervention in hospital to keep children alive and we are not necessarily investing in that community support which enables them to go home and enables them to have quality—of—life together as a family. together for short lives has been helping the parliamentary group conduct an enquiry into the extent to which the government has really welcomes commitments around
8:45 am
palliative and end of life care for children being met on the ground. the report finds a big gap between rhetoric and the reality for families like hayley. we see significant variation around the country depending on where you live. it can't be right in 2018 for two children with the same condition living in different parts of the country to get very different care. what kind of extra support do you really need, hayley? out of our support, we can support. by dedicated people who have got the expertise we need. —— out of hours support, we care we have great provision monday to friday but our children are so unpredictable and beth illnesses now no bounds in terms of times or days. we really have to start thinking more creatively. otherwise you end up in a&e which puts extra stress and strain on the health service anyway. that can really disrupt her own care
8:46 am
and routine and make a difficult situation worse. it completely impact on the whole of our family life, i have other children as well and holly necessarily is not best placed in hospital especially a child with palliative care needs, their care is complex and most children thrive better at home and are looked after at home. we need the right provision in the right tools and support to do this job. you have identified five key areas you think need change, where that extra support is needed, when asked through those. firstly we need ministers to hold local areas to much greater account for the services they are are providing. there is some really good word from central government but on the ground it looks different. we need greater clarity around what clinical commissioning groups and health and local authorities and social care of responsible for commissioning. we need greater funding and resources going into these very complex and
8:47 am
quite expensive packages of care, we need to make sure we are saving the nhs money by investing in community services. we need a workforce fit for the future, at the moment we struggle recruiting the right levels of children's nurses and paediatricians coming into the sector. finally a much more integrated rule of care built around the needs of children which brings social care and health much closer together. i don't know how you do it hayley but all the best to you and the family, we wish holly well. the department of health says they are committed to ending variation for eve ryo ne committed to ending variation for everyone through the end of life ca re everyone through the end of life care commitments so it's clear they are aware of the deficiencies within the system and want to do something about it. thank you both. here's stav with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. a chilly start across
8:48 am
england and wales, clear skies but also mist and fog. some fog quite dense to central and southern parts. scotla nd dense to central and southern parts. scotland and northern ireland have a different story with more cloud and even outbreaks of rain. a grotty start to your sunday across the north and west of scotland. this we re north and west of scotland. this were the front moves south and east as we head to the course of the day, fizzling as it reaches england and wales. just a few spots of light rain. plenty of sunshine across the south and that band of cloud and rain continues in towards england and wales. sky brightened for scotla nd and wales. sky brightened for scotland and northern ireland. blustery showers, the winds will be quite strong and it will continue to have sunshine across the far south of england before that cloud moves in. temperatures could reach 18 or i9 in. temperatures could reach 18 or 19 across the south—east but a cooler day for scotland and northern ireland. into this evening and overnight, the cloud eventually clears. for most, clearskies. if
8:49 am
you want to look up to the skies to see the orion id meteor shower, this isa see the orion id meteor shower, this is a good chance. this will be the peak of the meteor shower tonight. some blustery showers across the north of scotland but it will be chilly wherever you are despite the breeze. a big area of high pressure next week, lots of fine dry weather on monday but this weather front lingers across northern scotland along with a strong north—westerly wind, gale force in places. it will be wet here and across the northern isles, in the south some variable cloud but a lot of sunshine around. that reason noticeable from the north—west and temperatures have lost the high teens, something closer to 13 to 14 degrees. a little below average for the time of year. we had into tuesday, still wet and windy across scotland, high pressure brings lots of fine weather for central and southern parts of the
8:50 am
uk, this rain could move further southwards into the far north of england but apart from that it should be dry for most, a blustery north—westerly wind which will make it feel noticeably cool. 13, 14 degrees in the sunshine. not too bad at all. for the upcoming week it will be largely dry away from the north of scotland. thanks to that high—pressure, good spells of sunshine. winds moved to the north by the end of the week into next weekend, looking significantly colder even with the chance of wintry showers in the north. many thanks, even though he is talking about cold, wet, wintry weather... cold as we head towards halloween. ahead of hallowe'een, here's a tale of dark mystery. an eerie victorian transcript of a seance has been uncovered in the archives of warwick castle. the rare document was found in a sealed envelope in a box of forgotten receipts and bills belonging to the 4th countess of warwick. as lindsay doyle reports, she appears to have been plagued
8:51 am
by troublesome ghosts. for centuries, the ancient castle of warwick has guarded its secrets. now a mystery waiting to be given up. a document found in the strong aroma of warwick county record office has lifted the veil on ghostly occurrences which terrified a victorian countess. i have been looking into the papers of adam, the fourth countess of warwick. i was quite surprised to find something interesting hidden in an envelope stopped in between a bundle of bills. sealed with wax and hidden away by adam gravel word transcripts seances. it's quite obvious that she believed in ghosts. she was actually in these seances trying to stop ghosts from disturbing her. it was
8:52 am
almost a bit like spiritual housekeeping. one document written in so—called automatic writing refers to a ghost by name. the power of work is not that by mortals in the castle here. the spirit called edward jamison is one of these who now wants the place. a servant, edward jamison claims to have stolen some item from the family and hidden it in some item from the family and hidden itina some item from the family and hidden it in a room in the castle. it's clear anne was disturbed by unexplained noises she was hearing along the dark corridors. she was especially intrigued by life after death and looking at what happens to people and trying to connect and communicate with them. she invited people over to try and get in touch with those spirits who had passed. the actual room in which anne held her seances is now a meeting member office staff but looking around its easy to imagine the ghostly
8:53 am
mutterings. edward jamison, can you hear me? actually, i'd rather he didn't answer that... at one point, anne asks her ghost, will praying set you free? the answer, answer, a firm no. spooky stuff! there you have it. did not think we would talk about that this morning. in 1921, mountaineer george mallory wrote to his wife from napal saying "we are about to walk off the map", as he led the first british expedition hoping to discover a route to the summit of mount everest. the team spent five months exploring and the photographs they took are among the first to document the dramatic landscapes of the himalayas. the royal geographical society has recently digitised those prints and directorjoe smithjoins us now. it took us through how significant
8:54 am
it is being able to digitise these images. we have about 20,000 images on the whole body of everest expeditions, these early ones, the negatives are incredibly delicate and they will essentially corrode over time. we must capture them for the future now. we are notjust holding them for our own collections, we also wa nt to for our own collections, we also want to release those digitally publicly, globally. we are also making some incredibly beautiful prints of them as well. tell us about the pictures we are seeing now because they look incredibly clear considering how old they are. one thing you must bear in mind, they took three kodak cameras and a massive box camera. it was a bit like taking a kitchen table up a mountain. they also took all the kit required to process and print these materials. it was an incredible
8:55 am
feat. who is this man here? that is george mallory. the nonchalance of the pipe and hats does tell us something about how they were thinking about the expedition. i thinking about the expedition. i think underprepared would be strong, but they certainly did not entirely know what they were walking into. you can see there the lack of equipment, adequate clothing, and they were not terribly fit men either, were they, for the kind of gruelling nature of an expedition like this? no one had been this close to the mountain before, the closest a ny close to the mountain before, the closest any expedition had been previously was 40 miles away. at this stage this is as far as anyone had got. that's right, they go as high as anyone had been before in this mountain range. the images they ta ke this mountain range. the images they take arejust this mountain range. the images they take are just incredible, they are pin sharp. if you asked me had they been taken last week with the best cameras i would say yes. if you compare like—for—like, a contemporary image and these, what
8:56 am
has changed ? contemporary image and these, what has changed? apart from the preparation of the people.|j has changed? apart from the preparation of the people. i was talking to a nepalese friend who was a climate scientist to grab the mountain village until he was 12, he walked for four days to the nearest town. he said the thing that really strikes him is to see a clean, clear landscape. if you saw it today, you would see it littered with the debris from mountain expeditions and hikers. that was one observation. the other was to see for example the shoppers rucksacks. he recognise those as things people are still making in the villages and forests today. it is once again a reminder just how extraordinary that achievement was when they did eventually make the summit. achievement was when they did eventually make the summitm achievement was when they did eventually make the summit. it is. they had a slightly macho attitude to oxygen. in the alpinist tradition, they thought that was not
8:57 am
quite done, not playing by the rules. that changed in later expeditions but that did limit what they could achieve. so, are these pictures going to be on show somewhere? you want them to be published online. from the 29th of 0ctober published online. from the 29th of october we have a show on at kensington at the royal geographical society, open and free for a month. also we will make them available, these incredibly rich images, globally and for free online. the everest story as an absolutely absorbing one. thank you for coming in and adding to that this morning. that's all from us here on breakfast this morning, but dan and lou will be back here tomorrow from 0600, when they'll be joined by strictly judge craig revel horwood. enjoy the rest of your day. goodbye! this is bbc news. the headlines... president trump says the united states will pull out of a nuclear weapons treaty it signed with russia more than 30 years ago — because moscow has repeatedly violated the terms. russia has not unfortunately honoured the agreement so we're gonna terminate the agreement.
8:58 am
we're going to pull out. the brexit secretary dominic raab suggests the uk agrees to extend the transition period after leaving the eu to avoid an unacceptable plan for northern ireland. a woman has been killed in a suspected gas explosion that destroyed a flat in north—west london overnight. the duke and duchess of sussex continue their royal tour in australia but kensington palace says the duchess won't be attending other engagements today.
