good morning. welcome to breakfast, with louise minchin and dan walker. our headlines today: the fight for equal pay — thousands of women who work for glasgow city council prepare to walk out in what's thought to be the biggest strike of its kind in the uk. the dramatic rise in fast food outlets — new bbc research shows the number of high street takeaways is at its highest level. it's a side to the showman that the world didn't see — we have a rare interview with freddie mercury's nephew, ahead of a new film celebrating the music of queen. to say he was only there for the very beginning of my life, he definitely made a very big impact on my life. the danger of data — we're sharing too much information about ourselves on social media that can be used by frausters. today, a new campaign is launching to combat this. in sport, cristiano ronaldo returns to manchester and says the truth is coming, as he speaks publicly for the first time about the rape allegation against him. good morning. we are already getting

into the spirit of halloween. outside it is a chilly start from most. for england, wales and northern ireland mostly dry with sunny spells. rain and windy conditions in scotland. more in 15 minutes. it's tuesday, the 22nd of october. our top story: in what's believed to be the biggest equal pay strike ever seen in the uk, more than 8,000 women who work for glasgow city council will begin 48 hours of industrial action today. the council says there's no justification for the walkout, but the unions say they have no option after years of talks. it could cost up to a billion pounds to settle the dispute. here's our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon. she's holding down three jobs at two different schools but each month carol still struggles to pay her bills. now she's had enough. well, we'rejust fighting to be paid equally, same as everybody else.

i mean, honestly, the wages are ridiculous. i'm working threejobs and i'm still struggling month—to—month, borrowing off my own kids, which is shocking. it's not on. as soon as i get paid i pay all of my bills that day, and sometimes i'm lucky if i've got £50 left to do me the next four weeks. carers, cleaners, caterers, nursery workers are among the thousands expected to strike. glasgow city council said it was close to an agreement with the unions and had been working hard to try and resolve the dispute, adding there was no justification for the disruption, which, it says, will hit the city's most vulnerable the hardest. it's really necessary. i don't think it's fair on the claimants. fair on the women. they all lose pay over the next couple of days, those who are not going to work, who are going to go out on strike. and there is going to be enormous disruption caused in glasgow. and to some of the most vulnerable people in the city. the council says it is committed to making an offer to those

on strike in december. it's not yet clear how they will settle the bill which could run to hundreds of millions of pounds, but those looking for equal pay say time has run out to recognise the true value of theirjobs and they must now pay up. lorna gordon, bbc news, glasgow. we'll hear from a spokesperson from the unison union just after six thirty. the prime minister will brief her cabinet on the progress of the brexit negotiations this morning, after telling mps yesterday that she could accept a short extension to the transition period after the uk leaves the eu. it comes after a series of vitriolic briefings against mrs may by members of her own party. jonathan blake is in westminster for us. what has the reaction to the latest proposal been? well, the prime minister's idea of

potentially extending the transition period has gone down very, very badly. you saw that in the house of commons yesterday. mps had a chance to question dominic raab and the prime minister. barely anyone showed any support for this idea. the prime minister has said this is something she doesn't want to do and doesn't expect to have to do, but it might be necessary if the details of a future trade agreement with eu can't be worked out or implemented in time during the transition period as it is currently a grid. that is from the end of march next year, when we formally leave the eu, to the end of december, 2020. lots of spiky questions from backbenchers, showing how much pressure the prime minister zonderland how hard it is to keep her own party onside. i visit to new york, international trade secretary liam fox said people need to give the prime minister a break. people need to give the space to

finish the negotiation. parliament will give her a vote on the ultimate outcome. but it's very difficult to negotiate with the european union when you have to negotiate with your owi'i when you have to negotiate with your own colleagues. it is not just own colleagues. it is notjust her own mps causing trouble. she has had a lot of opposition cabinet for her plans. will there be more supportive when they meet face—to—face later this morning in downing street? thank you, jonathan. nearly 30 nobel prize winners have written to the prime minister and the president of the european commission urging them to do a deal on brexit to protect science. a survey at one of britain's leading research centres has found that many scientists are considering leaving the uk. they warn that a no—deal brexit would create new barriers to collaboration, and inhibit scientific progress. millions of women across england are failing to take up cervical cancer screening tests within the recommended time frame, according to new figures. public health england says that more than three million of those eligible have not had a smear test for at least three years.

more than 200,000 women are diagnosed with cervical abnormalities in britain each year. more than 100 conservative mps and 50 members of the house of lords are calling on the government to abandon plans for investigating decades—old crimes in northern ireland and other conflicts. they've written to theresa may, to express concern about a proposal for a new historic inquiries unit which could see former soldiers face fresh prosecutions. the letter accuses the government of breaking its manifesto commitment to the armed forces. the government's been accused of failing to address the problem of sexual harassment in public places. mps on the women and equalities committee says that while work is taking place to prevent sexual abuse and violence overseas, more needs to be done to tackle the issue at home. the most shocking thing was the way in which young women particularly were being forced to change the way they live their lives on a daily basis. whether that's what they wore — if they were running

that they would be wearing headphones, that they would avoid eye contact with people on the street, really because they had been brought up to believe that if they didn't take those precautionary measures, they could be subject to sexual harassment. the president of turkey has said he will reveal information this morning, about the killing of the saudi journalist, jamal khashoggi. as new pictures emerge showing mr khashoggi's movements before he disappeared, the turkish president has vowed to deliver what he has called "the naked truth" over his killing. donald trump says he's not satisfied with saudi arabia's version of events, while german chancellor angela merkel called the death "monstrous". a zoo in the american state of indianapolis has launched a review, after a lioness killed the father of her three cubs in their pen. the pair had lived in the same enclosure for eight years and experts say it's unprecedented. according to the zoo, there had never been any unusual aggression between them before

the attack last week. zuri, i2, attacked nyack, 10, and staff could not separate them. nyack died of suffocation, while zuri was uninjured. british archaeologists have found what they believe to be the world's oldest intact shipwreck at the bottom of the black sea. it appears to have been there for 2&00 years. scientists used a remote—controlled submarine to locate the the 75—foot vessel, found lying on its side about 50 miles off the coast of bulgaria. andy moore has the details. deep down in the black sea, archaeologists have been discovering dozens of wrecks, almost perfectly preserved in the dark waters where there is little oxygen. this particular wreck is from the byzantine period, around 1000 years old. but deeper down beyond the reach of human divers are much older ships. the oldest, from the classical greek period, was discovered and mapped by rovs,

or remote operated vehicles. its state of preservation is said to be utterly amazing. when you think that the ship is often the most complex artefact ever made in pre—industrial civilisations, if you find a whole one from a period when aristotle was still alive, that is quite an event. it looks something like this image on a greek vase held by the british museum. the ship has a mast and sail, a single row of oars, and is about 20 metres long. further details and images of the ship will be released today, but it's unlikely it will ever be raised. its timbers are probably much too fragile to be brought to the surface. andy moore, bbc news. we will have more on that later. we will speak to one of the scientists involved in finding this shipwreck. the world's longest sea bridge has officially opened, connecting hong kong and macau to mainland china. the bridge is designed to withstand earthquakes and the seasonal typhoons

which tear through the region. it cost almost £18 billion to build and has been a decade in the making. i picked up some facts. it is 55 kilometres long. that is the only thing i can remember. you need a special permit to go across it. it incorporates 400,000 tonnes of steel, which is four and a half times as much still is in the golden gate bridge. that gives you an idea. an amazing thing. a feat of engineering. any other questions?! i can tell you i was born in a typhoon in hong kong. how is that? that is an actual real fact! excellent. in hong kong. how is that? that is

an actual realfact! excellent. so much information. we will get to the bottom of that later on. something else that matters, tonight's champions league tie between manchester united and juventus, which sees a returning ronaldo. a lot more attention falling on this match and cristiano ronaldo with the rape allegation he is facing at the moment. something ofa is facing at the moment. something of a cloud. something he strenuously denied. he spoke of it yesterday for the first time. a returning cristiano ronaldo was always going to bea cristiano ronaldo was always going to be a big story. past the game has an——a to be a big story. past the game has an —— a bit of extra attention. here he was arriving at manchester airport yesterday. he returns to old trafford with juventus who he joined this summer. he's facing an allegation of rape in the us which dates back to 2009, which he denies. speaking last night he said his lawyers are confident and that he would not lie bout the sitution. pep guardiola says manchester city aren't good enough yet to win the champions league.

his side are in the ukraine to face shakhtar donetsk this evening. arsenal's number ten helps to make it a perfect ten — mezut ozil and pierre emerick aubmayang combine, as they as they beat leicester 3—1 in the premier league, to make it ten wins in a row. and england's cricketers have the chance to go unbeaten in their one—day series with sri lanka. they lead 3—0 ahead of today's final match, but they will be without the injured jonny bairstow. it starts at 10 o'clock this morning. jonny bairstow injured himself playing football. how many injured players have injured themselves playing football?! is that the perfect warm up ahead of a game of cricket? in his case, obviously not. remember beautiful lessons wouldn't test match special mac the sun's name was part of his father passed away. they listened to tms. regained consciousness. pat and jonathan

agnewjoin us consciousness. pat and jonathan agnew join us later. he was very close to tears after reading it. very emotional. with halloween fast approaching carol's at a pumpkin farm for us this morning in bishop's sto rtfo rd. good morning. it is looking fabulous. it is taking good shape. imad camisole farm near the ship sto rtfo rd. imad camisole farm near the ship stortford. i am with richard osman. good morning. your pumpkin is looking great. look how good it is compared to the local here. it is identical. you have done it differently. normally you whip off the head, don't you? you're basis are the professionals do it expect you have to keep the stalk and intact because it makes it stay fresher from longer. intact because it makes it stay fresherfrom longer. that is intact because it makes it stay fresher from longer. that is a intact because it makes it stay fresherfrom longer. that is a good tip. it means it is more stable to carve. how difficult is it to carve

something like as compared to the traditionalface? something like as compared to the traditional face? it's not that hard. itjust traditional face? it's not that hard. it just takes traditional face? it's not that hard. itjust takes a lot of time. you have to be willing to stare at it for hours. de leeuw draw on the pumpkin first or do it freehand?” look at the reference image and draw it freehand. i have tried stencilleds. the curve of the pumpkin will often make the line look wavy. you have to and make sure it looks even. that is going into a shop today —— if i was going into a shop today —— if i was going into a shop today —— if i was going into a shop today to buy a pumpkin, what kind of punk and should i be looking for that will last and would be good to carve? you know how when you buy an avocado, you have to get one that is right and squishy? the opposite to that. you want one that doesn't have any rot patches. the supermarkets have started putting their price level over the rotten patches lately. make sure you are

not taken for a ride with that trick. sometimes you see the knobbly kind. are they good for carving?“ you wanted to carve bewitches face with knobbly wards, that would be good. it makes it difficult to carve anything else on the bumpy surface. that was really interesting. i will let you carry on. you can see lots behind me. as for the country, it is very chilly, bear that in mind if you arejust stepping out, because there was frost on the ground. but the forecast is similar to yesterday, forecast is similar to yesterday, for england, wales, northern ireland, it be mostly dry. in scotland, especially the north—west, it'll be wet and windy. high pressure is still in charge of our weather, keeping things settled, but weather, keeping things settled, but we do have this system in the north

producing rain. it won't be as windy as yesterday, but up to 40, 50 mph in scotland, so you will notice that, as well as the rain. eastern scotla nd that, as well as the rain. eastern scotland seeing something brighter, but for most of the places it will be dry. there could be the spot for england and wales, but outside of that temperatures than yesterday. through the evening and overnight we will have that rain in the north—west. it was to be quite windy, and still a bit of cold coming on, too. but where the cloud breaks, especially in the south, we are likely to see mist and fog patches forming. tomorrow, we start on that note, once again we will have some rain to clear away from the northwest. when it does, still quite a bit of cloud around, but nonetheless, in the north—west, where we have had the heavy rain, it would be that right and temperature

is higher, looking at around 15, i6 degrees. —— it will be lighter and temperatures higher. this weather front will bring cooler air across the whole country. but before that, for england, wales, northern ireland, we are looking at a lot of dry weather, variable amounts of cloud, and it was sunny spells good point feel that bad. but make the most of it, because behind this front, as it moves south, cooler arctic air will follow in behind and that will be with us as we head into the weekend. last weekend we had highs of 20 degrees, this weekend we will be lucky to even scrape into double figures. thank you very much. i'm not good with my figures, it is apparently the 23rd of october. ididn't the 23rd of october. i didn't even notice. do you want to check on the papers?

ican do you want to check on the papers? i can officially confirm it is tuesday the 23rd of october. good morning, everybody. at the latest news on today's papers. —— let's ta ke latest news on today's papers. —— let's take a look at the latest news on today's papers. the times leads on theresa may's defiance over the irish border. and pictured, prince harry walks along an australian beach after taking part in a cleansing ceremony. the sun's front page features the case of murdered midwife samantha eastwood. they also have a picture of meghan markle in a sun dress, likening it to one worn by princess diana. a warning that hip and knee operations are becoming life—threatening, because of the rise of antibiotic resistance leads the daily telegraph. it also has a picture of theresa may with the caption "we must hold our nerve". and the commons debate on theresa may's deal is the focus for the guardian. a picture of students from st andrews university caked in shaving foam is featured on its front page. apparently it's part of celebrations for what students call "raisin monday", where first years thank their more senior mentors.

i remember that day at st andrews university quite well. by covering them in shaving foam? before it used to bea them in shaving foam? before it used to be a mixture of water and flour, so to be a mixture of water and flour, so they've visited moved on. is it somebody in the year above? you get a mental —— as ——asa —— as a first year you get a third—year mentor. as a first year you get covered. iam not you get covered. i am not —— you get covered. iam not ——iam you get covered. i am not —— i am your mentor, i will now cover you. add it in this beautiful quadrant. i'm glad it is still carrying on. what a custom. i have some potential good news for the chancellor, because there's been a lot of analysis of how much money we've made from tax receipts, how much we have paid in taxes. the chancellor

is set to land a £13 billion annual windfall, because we had better than expected public finances. next week it's the budget. so this might help in providing more money for the nhs. he said he will do that. lots of analysis on that. that's in the ft. potentially good news, isn't it? also, retailers often do an analysis of things we are and are not buying. john lewis have done the latest one of these. we are not buying alarm clocks any more, or trouser presses, but we are buying huge tvs, leopard—print is quite in this season, and yellow, and thongs are back in. as in flip-flops? no, as in pa nts. back in. as in flip-flops? no, as in pants. there's been a resurgence, apparently. thanks for that lovely

image. too early. what have you got? reflective, the amount of coverage ronaldo's return is getting. it is on all of the back pages. he is a global superstar. coming up against his former club was always going to bea his former club was always going to be a big story. but in light of the allegation facing him, one he strenuously denies, it is getting extra coverage as a result. the game. big player. but in light of what is going on at the moment, that is what the papers are going with, and it's a huge amount of coverage, every single paper. despite the fact arsenal played incredibly well last night and scored an incredible goal. they did. this is an amazing one. this is a shipwreck. we will talk about this later. an incredible shipwreck which has been found. it's 2400 yea rs

shipwreck which has been found. it's 2400 years old. about two kilometres under the water. apparently it is amazingly preserved because there is no oxygen there. an old—style state of the ship, possibly, but it has changed a bit, hasn't it? it has. i will raise your shipwreck and give you one of these multi—million pound yachts. apparently there will be a huge rise in the number of multi—million pound yachts which are over 100 metres in length. this has five stories, helicopter parts, it has other ships on it. how much do they cost? they cost about 400 million. bargain. the one they are showing is 600 million. £600 million! you got to have some serious dosh, because i wonder how much in a year you spend on a yacht. it'll be ridiculous. you could live your whole life on it. you could. the upkeep must be

incredible. what do you think about dressing your dog in a halloween costu m e ? dressing your dog in a halloween costume? some say it is big business some say it is cruel. this is america, dog owners spend $350 million per year dressing their pets in an elaborate costumes. but there has been a kickback. this is new york. the 28 year of... this dog doesn't look very pleased in the mystery machine. and this one is a giant spider. there is a bit of a kickback people saying, should we really be doing this? have you seen the pictures of pregnant women who painted halloween decorations onto their bumps? cracking.” painted halloween decorations onto their bumps? cracking. i have seen them. the best outfit i've seen, a quite large fellow, dressed in an avocado, but the stone is his belly.

chuckles i shall find that picture for you later. want to share. takeaways now. how often do you have a takeaway? once a month, every week — or every day? well, when you do, you'll have almost 40,000 outlets to choose from — that's how many are operating across the uk right now. that's a 30% increase in just eight years. david rhodes has more. it is the food that is fast, convenient, and an everyday part of some people's lives. i really hated how i looked. it's not normal to be 30 stone. at the age ofjust16joe from rotherham was morbidly obese. so, on a typical week, joe, what were you eating? probably five chinese takeaways, couple of pizzas, fish and chips. joe has managed to shed over ten stone, but in problem three quarters joe has managed to shed over ten stone, but in rotherham three quarters of adults are overweight, or obese, and six in every ten food

businesses are takeaways. you see more takeaways than you're actually seeing corner shops. i think they should definitely limit the number of fast food places massively, because i think it's just taking over. it's part of everyday life now. haven't got time to cook, mcdonald's, haven't got time to cook, we'll have a takeaway tonight. analysis of official figures by the bbc has found that in 2010 there were just over 29,000 fast food businesses in the uk. this year that number has reached over 39,000, an increase of over a third in the space of eight years. there are over 170 fast food businesses in rotherham. for example, this fish and chip shop has just begun to offer low fat fish and chips, but its owners say the town has been swamped by new takeaways in recent years. i've seen a lot of little ones open up and close down. i've seen a lot that are just a float. i've seen a lot trying to undercut. recently i went to a council meeting to propose an objection to another business that's going to be setting up soon, but unfortunately my efforts weren't heard,

or weren't considered. six in every ten adults in england are overweight or obese according to public health england. and some doctors believe obesity is the biggest challenge facing the nhs. obesity has been linked with fast food. we've had projections that suggest that by 2050, which is only one generation away, that direct and indirect costs of obesity will cost nearly £50 billion. that's enough to bankrupt the nhs. the government and devolved administrations across the uk have all set out plans to reduce obesity levels, whilst in england ministers say local councils can control the number and location of takeaways. but on current trends the number of these food businesses is set to rise, and the battle to control bulging waistlines looks likely to become harder. david rhodes, bbc, rotherham. more takeaways on the high street we

have had since 2010. they are prevalent. tell us what you think about that. it is the 23rd of october. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. in hello. this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment. but also on breakfast this morning, we'll bejoined by marina litvinenko, the widow of poisoned former russian spy alexander litvinenko. she'll tell us what she makes of the current diplomatic tensions between the uk and russia since the novichok attack in salisbury seven months ago. also this morning, the parents of natasha ednan—laperouse, who died after having an allergic reaction to a pret—a—manger baguette, will tell us about the changes they want to see in the law when it comes to food labelling. and later, we'll bejoined by a hillwalker who made an incredible discovery while strolling in the cairngorms. a rare litter of wildcat kittens — all caught on camera. good morning.

here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. in what's believed to be the biggest equal pay strike ever seen in the uk, more than 8,000 women who work for glasgow city council will begin 48 hours of industrial action today. the council says there's no justification for the walkout, but the unions say they have no option after years of talks. it could cost up to a billion pounds to settle the dispute. i'm very disappointed. ijust think it's really unnecessary. i don't think it's fair on the claimants. fair on the women. you know, they'll lose pay over the next couple of days, those who are not going to work, who are going to go out on strike. and there is going to be enormous disruption caused in glasgow, and to some of the most vulnerable people in the city. the president of turkey has said he will reveal information this morning, about the killing

of the saudi journalist, jamal khashoggi. as new pictures emerge showing mr khashoggi's movements before he disappeared, the turkish president has vowed to deliver what he has called the naked truth over his killing. donald trump says he's not satisfied with saudi arabia's version of events while german chancellor angela merkel called the death "monstrous". the prime minister will brief her cabinet on the progress of the brexit negotiations this morning, after telling mps yesterday that she could accept a short extension to the transition period after the uk leaves the eu. it comes after a series of vitriolic briefings against mrs may by members of her own party. downing street has said that "personal vitriol has no place in politics". nearly 30 nobel prize winners have written to the prime minister and the president of the european commission, urging them to do a deal on brexit to protect science. a survey at one of britain's leading research centres has found that many scientists are considering leaving the uk.

they warn that a no—deal brexit would create new barriers to collaboration, and inhibit scientific progress. millions of women across england are failing to take—up cervical cancer screening tests within the recommended time frame, according to new figures. public health england says that more than three million of those eligible have not had a smear test for at least three years. more than 200,000 women are diagnosed with cervical abnormalities in britain each year. the government's been accused of failing to address the problem of sexual harassment in public places. mps on the women and equalities committee says that while work is taking place to prevent sexual abuse and violence overseas, more needs to be done to tackle the issue at home. the most shocking thing was the way in which young women particularly were being forced to change the way they live their lives on a daily basis. whether that's what they wore — if they were running that they would be wearing

headphones, that they would avoid eye contact with people on the street, really because they had been brought up to believe that if they didn't take those precautionary measures, they could be subject to sexual harassment. british archaeologists have found what they believe to be the world's oldest intact shipwreck at the bottom of the black sea. it appears to have been there for 2400 years. the ship, thought to be ancient greek, was discovered with its mast, rudders and rowing benches all present, just over a mile below the surface. scientists used a remote—controlled submarine to locate the vessel, found just off the coast of bulgaria. thatis that is quite a find, isn't it? it is. we will be talking to one of the archaeologist involved later. the united states is in the grip of lotto fever. the latest mega millions

draw takes place today, with a potential jackpot of more than £1.2 billion — the biggest payout in history. the odds of choosing the matching six numbers is said to be one in over three hundred million. 1.2 billion. you could buy one of those superyachts for that. 600 million. you have to run it. someone has said if you want to know how much it costs to run a superyacht, it is 10% of the cost. 60 million a year. so you will need that 1.2 billion. amazing. somebody could win it. change their lives. good morning, john. good morning. cristiano ronaldo and paul pogba could have a couple of superyachts between them. huge match tonight.

cristiano ronaldo's rival generating more interest than usual because of the allegation of rape against him, something he strenuously denied. —— denies. as a result of the allegation, little more attention perhaps is coming his way. cristiano ronaldo is back in manchester. facing the media yesterday, he says his lawyers are confident and that the truth is coming. joe lynskey has been looking at his return. ronaldo! the 19—year—old from portugal has given manchester united the lead in the cup final. he arrived a teenage talent and a superstar, but cristiano ronaldo returns to old trafford with the focus on more than football. two weeks ago he released a statement strenuously denying a rape allegation. this was his first press conference since. of course i'm not going to lie on this situation.

i'm very happy. my lawyers, they are confident. and, of course, i am too. the most important is that i enjoy my football, i enjoy my life, i know that i'm example. i know 100%. in the pitch and outside the pitch. ronaldo's talent has made to make global brand, even at 33 it costjuventus nearly £100 million to get him. his return has been five goals in an unbeaten start to the season and tonight he'll look to do what he did against united five years ago, score and perhaps apologise for it. ronaldo's manager that night is now in the home dugout. he's one of the best players of all times. and nobody can tell different than that. he's one of the best players of all times. it's as simple as that. in manchester the return of ronaldo reminds them of how it used to be, his welcome at the airport still tells of an icon.

ronaldo! we know that this is a tough time for him, but on the pitch he still very much professional, still very much ronaldo, looking to get the headlines and be known as the leader, and the man ofjuventus. the player says eventually the truth will come first, and so far the controversy has proved no on field distraction. united now have to find a way to stop the football star they helped create. joe lynskey, bbc news. it's not just united in action this evening, manchester city are facing shakhtar donetsk. but city aren't good enough yet to win the champions league, according to pep guardiola. his side have three points from their opening two games, and guardiola isn't convinced they have that something extra special. arsenal's number ten helped to make ita arsenal's number ten helped to make it a perfect ten. mesut ozil scored

an equaliserjust it a perfect ten. mesut ozil scored an equaliser just before it a perfect ten. mesut ozil scored an equaliserjust before half—time against leicester city. substitue pierre—emerick aubameyang then grabbed two goals in three minutes to win it — this one the pick of them. that's ten wins on the spin in all competitons for arsenal, and they're nowjust a couple of points off the leaders. there are always some great names in the draw for the first round of the fa cup, and this year is no different. the metropolitan police, who play in the seventh tier of english football, will host newport county from league two. dennis wise and dion dublin made the draw last night, and they also handed portsmouth, cup winners a decade ago, a trip to non—league opposition — either chippenham or maidenhead. what a tie that will be for either of those two. usain bolt‘s hopes of a football career are looking more and more doubtful. the jamaican has been training with australian side central coast mariners. the club says it is still discussing a possible permanent contract, but that without a cash injection from a third party they won't be able to sign the sprinter. there was a shock defeat

for the number one seed at tennis' season—ending wta finals in singapore. wimbledon champion angelique kerber was cruising after the first set against the netherlands kiki bertens, but the world number nine fought back to win the last two sets. england's cricketers have the chance to finish their one—day series in sri lanka unbeaten — as long as they rain stays away. england are 3—0 up, with only today's game remaining. they'll be withoutjonny bairstow, who twisted his ankle playing football in training. they're playing in columbo, and it starts at ten o'clock this morning. and the organisers of rugby union's champions cup say they will apologise to cardiff blues and glasgow warriors, after they told the sides to wear kits that were almost identical. virtually impossible for the players to differentiate. glasgow changed

from their usual black strip to sky blue — pretty much the same shade as the home side, who are called cardiff blues! imagine trying to commentate on it, let alone referee at? difficult for the players and officials. the organisers have said that yes, they shouldn't have made the change. at a fast pace you are sometimes not even looking properly. i know. really hard. tough for everybody. i don't think they will make the same mistake again. it's an issue that spans over 50 years and has touched all walks of life — equal pay. the idea that men and women doing the samejob should be paid equally. and now, in what's believed to be the biggest ever equal pay strike in the uk, over 8,000 female council workers will walk out in glasgow today. the council says there is no justification for the disruption. let's talk to peter hunter, from the union unison. good morning. tell us a little bit

about the women who are going out on strike today? the women we represent, there are some 12,500 women in the legal action, they have been waiting for ten years for this litigation to be resolved. the council sensibly agreed to talk about settlement over a year ago. we have been meeting physically for ten months now. but we have had no proposals, no offers, there is nothing agreed. and the thin, very low level of trust the women have the council, has completely vanished. that is why they are on strike. tell us about the roles they working and how much this has cost them? people say there is a cost, up to £1 billion. that money is contractually due to our members. they have had to live in glasgow, many living in poverty, as a result

of not being paid the proper wages bya of not being paid the proper wages by a public body which has a legal obligation to treat them legally. the impact on home carers, nursery nurses, support assistance in schools, these are overwhelmingly women who do the caring jobs in the background that allow people to get on with their working lives, maybe through childcare arrangements, looking after elderly relatives. the city relies on these women to do all the things the great city of glasgow does. and for the first time ever the city will now notice the vital role these women play and the fact that they are hideously and crudely undervalued and underpaid.” that they are hideously and crudely undervalued and underpaid. i am trying to get an idea of how much, for each individual, how much they have lost out on? for individuals who have been in litigation from the start, some tens of thousands of pounds. it would be irresponsible of me to set the expectations of all

the members with a specific sum right herejust the members with a specific sum right here just now. what in the past the union has done deals for £100 million, or some past the union has done deals for £100 million, orsome women past the union has done deals for £100 million, or some women have received compensation of 70,000, 80,000, £90,000. life changing money. there is the issue of the pension on top. your policy reports from time to time were women lose £200,000 in lifetime debt to discrimination. people wonder how that can happen. glasgow is an illustration of how that happens. they have said they plan to settle these claims. 12,000 claims. what is # glasgow city council are saying that the demands are unrealistic. the timescale was said by the council themselves. they said they would do a deal by christmas. we have had no proposals, no counterproposals. there is nowhere this deal could be done by christmas

u nless this deal could be done by christmas unless the council moves up a year. they need to move up a gear. we don't expect cash today. councillor aitken has led the new administration boldly to tackle discrimination, which she admits exists. the difficulty is the official ‘s new about this in 2010. but they covered a up. our lack of trust in the officials who work for councillor aitken is based on a history of delay and discrimination, deliberate cover—up. we will leave it there. we know the strike starts today. we tried to get in touch with the council, they can talk to us, but we are waiting for a statement from them, as well. we shall get some weather. carol is ata pumpkin we shall get some weather. carol is at a pumpkin farm. is that your handiwork, carol? i would like to say so, but sadly it isn't. richard has been carving this

magnificent pumpkin with our logo. he says if you leave the stalk on the top it'll keep the pumpkin fresher for longer. the top it'll keep the pumpkin fresherfor longer. any the top it'll keep the pumpkin fresher for longer. any other tips? rub vaseline on the inside of the pumpkin to lock in the moisture. there you go. talking of moisture, there is some on the forecast. italy start across england, wales, northern ireland, with a touch of frost in hampshire and kent. today's forecast still has some rain over northern and western scotland. heavy gusts of wind. not as windy as yesterday but you will notice that. you can see why in the pressure chart, high pressure still dominating our weather and the weather front across the north. away from the north and west of scotland, it is dry, it is bright, we will see sunny spells developing. more cloud coming in on the north—westerly wind. the north west england, for example, northern ireland, north

west wales. through the day we could see the spot of light rain coming in from that, too. the brighter skies will be in the south and east. we will be in the south and east. we will see sunshine here and temperatures responding. huizing around 16, but we could see 17, maybe even 18 in aberdeenshire in the shelter of the grampians. —— temperatures around 16. the rain across scotland will ease, it'll become patchy in nature. a fair bit of blood across the rest of the uk. where we see clear spells we are likely mist and fog patches. —— a fair bit of fog across the rest of the uk. temperatures in single figures, but not as low as the nightjust gone. rain in the northern isles to start things off. a bit more cloud for eve ryo ne things off. a bit more cloud for everyone tomorrow. nonetheless, we will the breaks with sunny spells

developing. again particularly across parts of the south—east and east of the uk. temperatures again up east of the uk. temperatures again up to 16. thursday, all change, a weather front into the north—west, bringing in heavy rain, but behind that front it'll become much cooler. ahead of it, still some cloud around, still some sunshine, but temperatures and little bit down. as we head through friday and into the weekend, we start to see things turn much colder as the wind changes direction to something more northerly, coming in from the arctic, and last weekend it was around 20 degrees for some, but this weekend we will be likely to scrape into double figures and there will bea into double figures and there will be a wind chilljust exacerbate the situation. thank you for the warning. it was very windy when i woke up this morning. outside the house, that is. are we sharing too much information on social media that can be used by fraudsters?

steph has been looking into this for us... yes this has come from some research by an official online safety body. get safe online. it says too many of us are oversharing information about ourselves on social media. a quarter of people questioned said they use social media to show off about their holidays. one in 5 use it to share life milestones like buying a new house and one in 10 use it to brag about recent purchases. all of this information can be dangerous if it gets into the wrong hands. sarah martinez joins dangerous if it gets into the wrong hands. sarah martinezjoins me to talk about this. why is this information dangerous? it's great, it's exciting when you buy your first house, you pass your driving

test, and it's great to share it, but you need to think about who you are sharing it with. if you put it on facebook, and you have an open page, and you have a driving licence there, a criminal could look at that and use your identity in a way you don't want it to be used. we are not saying don't share, we are just saying don't share, we are just saying think about who you are sharing it with and weather that piece of information can be used against you for the wrong reason. —— whether that piece of information. how whether that piece of information. h ow ofte n whether that piece of information. how often is this happening? we see ita how often is this happening? we see it a lot. people come to us and report an incident. whether it be dave posted about being on holiday, or posted information about themselves, then they've gone away, and somebody has put that information together and use that potentially to take their identity, maybe take their picture, built their own social media profiles. we see that a lot with romance fraud when innocent person's profile has

been taken and used by somebody else to scam somebody out of money. what can we do, apart from not give away key thing is, how can you use social media to celebrate things but not give away too much information? one of the crucial things is privacy settings. on instagram or twitter it's about getting new followers. in that case, think about personal details, whatnot that case, think about personal details, what not to share. on things like facebook, keep your profile knocked down, go through privacy settings, sign away everything. —— locked down. have a thing before you post, do you really need to share it? because it will be there forever. have a look at our website and read more about it there. if you show a picture of your house you are giving away your address. if you show a picture of your license it can give away

information. peoplejust piecing things together? everything we post, it is something about ourselves. three weeks ago you might have posted a picture of your new tv, in your house, and then three weeks later you post about going on holiday. lots of pieces of information. another one isjobs, a fun picture of a night out, it might not be great for somebody else or yourself, five years later a recruiter might see it and they might decide that you want a person to have in their company. it only sometime later you realise the repercussions. that's why we say think now so the running problems further down the line. there are certainly some dodgy pictures from my uni days i don't want potential employers seeing. thanks very much. the film bohemian rhapsody is a celebration of the music of queen and its extraordinary frontman freddie mercury, and it premieres at wembley arena tonight.

while freddie mercury was known on stage for his flamboyant personality, off stage he was very private. in a rare interview with his family, pria rai has been talking to his nephew samuel, about his family's memories of the star. # you're the best friend that i ever had #. growing up, it all felt quite normal, because it wasjust listening to his music around the house, and yet it all seemed completely just like my uncle freddie who sung. but obviously getting older you start to realise, ok, this isn't normal, this is somebody very famous in my family. i'd say probably about 12, i started to realise that my uncle was very famous, and with my family they always made me aware of him, and just to be really proud and appreciative of his music and his legacy. i want to give the audience a song they can perform. what's the lyrics? # singing we will, we will rock you #. your grandmother, as well, she spoke about him with such pride,

like, the proudest of mums, really. yeah. how did she talk about him to you? i think growing up, all the time, really, we used to make scrapbooks together, so whenever we found an article in a newspaper, or magazine, we would cut them out together, and whenever he came on the radio we'd turn the radio up and listen to it and just be really proud, really. # we are the champions, my friends # and we'll keep on fighting #. i think that his music has carried out through the generations because it's so different. you can't relate queen to any other bands, it's not even a genre, its so many different genres in one, so i think that's why his music will always be there, because it's just so different. freddie, concerning your private life. what more do you need to know? i make music. he was one of the most well—known people to have aids and he died of complications related to that. in the story of his life and career,

how important is that part? i think his career should be looked at as the most important thing, because that's who he was. he wasn't an illness, he was a musician. it was his career that was important. this is when the operatic section comes in. the operatic section, yeah. # mamma mia, mamma mia # mamma mia, let me go # beelzebub has a devil put aside for me # for me #. the stories you've heard about him around the house, and around his home. was there ever that hint of this performer when he was at home? i would just say he was a normal son and brother to my mum and uncle to me. he sent our house a huge easter egg about this big. wow! probably bigger than you at the time. it was bigger than me,

and almost as big asmy mum. it was fun. he always sent us amazing presents and definitely looked after us. to say he was only there for the very beginning of my life he definitely made a very big impact on my life. the music is brilliant and isn't it? absolutely fantastic. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. nearly all metropolitan police officers want to carry spit guards, according to a survey by the police federation. the guards, also knows as spit hoods are put on people — who police are trying to restrain, when there's a risk that person could spit on officers. currently they are not allowed to be used by officers on the beat, only those in custody suites. a grade one listed pumping station in south east london is facing closure. the crossness water pumping station might have to shut in march due to a serious asbestos problem.

that's the same month that celebrations were planned to mark the site's 200th anniversary. the trust is still short of £170,000 to complete the work. let's take a look at the travel situation now... there are severe delays on the northern line this morning but a good service on all other lines. on the trains: passengers using south western railway may face disruption to their commute this morning because of a 5—day strike. the rail company say they hope to run two thirds of normal services. onto the roads now and traffic is building on the hammersmith flyover in both directions. in harringay: there are temporary traffic lights for emergency gas mains work on green lanes in both directions between endymion road and manor house station. and in barnes: kassel—noor has temporary traffic lights for water mains work at the junction with trinity church road. now the weather with alex osborne we have a promising look to the weather over the next few days. todayis weather over the next few days. today is a decent day in the forecast. a lot of us should stay dry and bright. a good deal of sunshine. we are starting the day on a chilly note. temperatures for many down to single figures. a dry day

today for many. there will be some sunshine but turn hazy in the afternoon as high—level cloud built in from the north. a fairly noticeable north—westerly breeze with temperatures reaching 16 celsius. a largely dry night to come. a good deal of clear sky to begin. but cloud moves in from the north. this will keep our temperatures up. as for the outlook a great deal of dry and fine weather continuing over the next few days. large areas of cloud, but still some sunny spells breaking through from time to time. temperatures will be sliding away, noticed that drop, on wednesday 16 celsius, but by friday it'll turn much colder. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to dan and louise. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with louise

minchin and dan walker. our headlines today: the billion pound fight for equal pay — thousands of women working for glasgow city council stage a walkout in what's thought to be the biggest strike of its kind in the uk. i'll be talking to an employment lawyer about the issues and how they can be resolved. turkey's president promises to reveal "the naked truth" about the murder of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi. a health warning for millions of women, who are missing their cervical screening tests, as take up falls to its lowest level for two decades. in sport, cristiano ronaldo returns to manchester and says the truth is coming, as he speaks publicly for the first time about the rape allegation against him. i know that i am an example. i know 100%. in the pitch and outside the pitch. good morning from bishops

sto rtfo rd. pitch. good morning from bishops stortford. this is maggie, the farm dog. it is chilly in england, wales and northern ireland. a fair bit of sunshine with a variable cloud. in scotland, rain. more details in 15 minutes. it's tuesday the 23rd of october. in what's believed to be the biggest equal pay strike ever seen in the uk, more than 8,000 women who work for glasgow city council will begin 48 hours of industrial action today. the council says there's no justification for the walkout, but the unions say they have no option after years of talks. it could cost up to a billion pounds to settle the dispute. here's our scotland correspondent, lorna gordon. she's holding down three jobs at two different schools but each month carol still struggles to pay her bills. now she's had enough. well, we'rejust fighting to be paid equally, same as everybody else. i mean, honestly,

the wages are ridiculous. i'm working threejobs and i'm still struggling month—to—month, borrowing off my own kids, which is shocking. it's not on. as soon as i get paid i pay all of my bills that day, and sometimes i'm lucky if i've got £50 left to do me the next four weeks. carers, cleaners, caterers, and nursery workers are among the thousands expected to strike. glasgow city council said it was close to an agreement with the unions and had been working hard to try and resolve the dispute, adding there was no justification for the disruption, which, it says, will hit the city's most vulnerable the hardest. it's really unnecessary. i don't think it's fair on the claimants. fair on the women. they all lose pay over the next couple of days, those who are not going to work, who are going to go out on strike. and there is going to be enormous disruption caused in glasgow. and to some of the most vulnerable people in the city. the council says it is committed to making an offer to those on strike in december. it's not yet clear how they will settle the bill which could run to hundreds

of millions of pounds, but those looking for equal pay say time has run out to recognise the true value of theirjobs and they must now pay up. lorna gordon, bbc news, glasgow. we will continue talking about that throughout this morning. the president of turkey has said he will reveal full information this morning about the killing of the saudi journalist, jamal khashoggi. as new pictures emerge showing mr khashoggi's movements before he disappeared, the turkish president has vowed to deliver what he has called "the naked truth" over his killing. donald trump is not satisfied with saudi arabia's version of events. continuing investigations are focussing on a diplmotic car found in a car park in istanbul. millions of women across england are failing to take—up cervical cancer screening tests within the recommended time frame, according to new figures. public health england says that more than three million of those eligible have not had a smear test for at least three years.

more than 200,000 women are diagnosed with cervical abnormalities in britain each year. the duke and duchess of sussex have arrived in fiji for the eighth day of their pacific tour, their first official overseas trip since they were married. their royal highnesses have attended an official welcoming ceremony celebrating fijan culture, identity and heritage — a replica of the event attended by the queen and the duke of edinburgh on their visit to the island in 1953. i think ithinki i think i remember that from the crown! presumably the papers will have pictures as well, comparing and contrasting both visits. the prime minister will brief her cabinet on the progress of the brexit negotiations this morning, after telling mps yesterday that she could accept a short extension to the transition period after the uk leaves the eu. it comes after a series of vitriolic briefings

against mrs may by members of her own party. our political correspondent, jonathan blake, is in westminster for us. good morning. it was getting a bit ugly. good morning. it was getting a bit ugly, some of these briefings?“ was. what we saw yesterday was a backlash against those graphic and what many people saw as offensive and wholly inappropriate words and the sort of language used by some mps reported in the newspapers over the weekend. mps at the chance to question the prime minister yesterday about her brexit plan. many stud up and expressed their condemnation of the type of language used. that may have bought mrs may some sympathy, sometime perhaps. but there was every sign she is still under pressure over her brexit strategy, particularly the issue of

potentially extending the transition period, the length of time that runs after we formally leave the eu in march of next year until december 2020. theresa may feels she won't have to extend it. but it may be necessary if details of a trade deal cannot be worked out or cannot be implemented in time. lots of mps dead against the idea from the start. she has some support from her cabinet. last night the international trade secretary, liam fox, said people need to give theresa may a break.” fox, said people need to give theresa may a break. i think people need to give her the space to finishing negotiation. parliament will get a vote on the ultimate outcome. it's very difficult to negotiate with the european union when you also have to negotiate with your own colleagues. mrs may will be hoping for some support from her cabinet when she meets them in downing street later this morning. thank you very much. nearly 30 nobel prize winners have written to the prime minister and the president

of the european commission, urging them to do a deal on brexit to protect science. a survey at one of britain's leading research centres has found that many scientists are considering leaving the uk. they warn that a no—deal brexit would create new barriers to collaboration, and inhibit scientific progress. the government's been accused of failing to address the problem of sexual harassment in public places. mps on the women and equalities committee says that while work is taking place to prevent sexual abuse and violence overseas, more needs to be done to tackle the issue at home. the most shocking thing was the way in which young women particularly were being forced to change the way they live their lives on a daily basis. whether that's what they wore — if they were running that they would be wearing headphones, that they would avoid eye contact with people on the street, really because they had been brought up to believe that if they didn't take those precautionary measures, they could be subject to sexual harassment. high streets across the uk

have the highest concentration of fast food outlets in almost a decade, according to new figures. despite government efforts to improve obesity figures, analysis by the bbc shows that in most areas, the number of takeaway shops has risen by more than a third since 2010. david rhodes has more. it is the food that is fast, convenient, and an everyday part of some people's lives. i really hated how i looked. it's not normal to be 30 stone. at the age ofjust16joe from rotherham was morbidly obese. you see more takeaways than you're actually seeing corner shops. i think they should definitely limit the number of fast food places massively, because i think it's just taking over. it's part of everyday life now. analysis of official figures by the bbc has found that in 2010 there were just over 29,000 fast food businesses in the uk. this year that number has reached over 39,000, an increase of over a third in the space of eight years.

and some doctors believe obesity is the biggest challenge facing the nhs. obesity has been linked with fast food. we've had projections that suggest that by 2050, which is only one generation away, that direct and indirect costs of obesity will cost nearly £50 billion. that's enough to bankrupt the nhs. the government and devolved administrations across the uk have all set out plans to reduce obesity levels, whilst in england ministers say local councils can control the number and location of takeaways. but on current trends the number of these food businesses is set to rise, and the battle to control bulging waistlines looks likely to become harder. david rhodes, bbc, rotherham. british archaeologists have found what they believe to be the world's oldest intact shipwreck at the bottom of the black sea. it appears to have been there for 2400 years. scientists used a remote—controlled submarine to locate the the 75—foot vessel,

found lying on its side about 50 miles off the coast of bulgaria. andy moore has the details. deep down in the black sea, archaeologists have been discovering dozens of wrecks, almost perfectly preserved in the dark waters where there is little oxygen. this particular wreck is from the byzantine period, around 1000 years old. but deeper down beyond the reach of human divers are much older ships. the oldest, from the classical greek period, was discovered and mapped by rovs, or remote operated vehicles. its state of preservation is said to be utterly amazing. when you think that the ship is often the most complex artefact ever made in pre—industrial civilisations, if you find a whole one from a period when aristotle was still alive, that is quite an event. it looks something like this image on a greek vase held by the british museum. the ship has a mast and sail, a single row of oars, and is about 20 metres long.

further details and images of the ship will be released today, but it's unlikely it will ever be raised. its timbers are probably much too fragile to be brought to the surface. andy moore, bbc news. it's quite something. we will be speaking to one of the archaeologists later. 2400 years old. that is a whopper. for women who develop cervical cancer, research shows early diagnosis is key to ensure a better chance of survival. despite this, new figures have revealed that three million women across england are failing to have their smear tests within the recommended time frame. we're joined now by kate sanger from jo's cervical cancer trust. and laura flaherty, who was diagnosed at 29—years—old. laura, let's talk about your experiences. good morning both. take us experiences. good morning both. take us through what happened?” experiences. good morning both. take us through what happened? i attended my screaming. i was a little bit

late. a few weeks late. i was told i had high—grade cell changes. they made an appointment to attend the clinic to investigate further. after that i was told, unfortunately, i had stage one cervical cancer. quite a diagnosis. how did that affect you and your family? gosh, it changed everything. you are in this protective bubble where you say, it won't be me. i will not get cancer. but why not? why wouldn't it be? i was devastated. it changed everything. would i grow up to see my children? would i see them grow 7 my children? would i see them grow he my children? would i see them grow up? the answers were not there. tomorrow was not a given. what happened if i hadn't attended so many women don't. early diagnosis is key. we will come back to how you

are at the minute. things are much better. why are women not going further tests? there are a wide range of reasons. we have done a lot of research. things such as embarrassment, people may be scared of the result, the test. some people have had a bad experience in the past. they may have experienced sexual violence. we also know that many women find it difficult to attend, they find it difficult to get a attend, they find it difficult to geta gp attend, they find it difficult to get a gp appointment. access is a big issue. then you have got cultural and social barriers. a wide range of reasons and each woman —— woman's reasons are personal. when jade goody died from cervical cancer there was a huge spike in the number of people going to screenings. i figured that has fallen off since then? yes, there was an extra 400,000 women went for the screening. that was fantastic but short lived. the so—called jade

goody factor is long gone. in england alone it is a big concern. presumably this has had an impact on your friends. presumably this has had an impact on yourfriends. are presumably this has had an impact on your friends. are you surprised by the number of women not going?” your friends. are you surprised by the number of women not going? i am and i'm not. obviouslyi the number of women not going? i am and i'm not. obviously i was one of those women. i put off going. i totally get... in hindsight, i would never miss one. i don't think there isa never miss one. i don't think there is a woman in my inner circle would miss one. they have seen what could happen. yes, i do understand because i was that person. i didn't want to go. i've not met a woman yet who said they love going for a smear test. it is not nice but it is a necessity. early diagnosis is key. i wonder if there is somebody watching thinking about myths and things they've heard, are there any which need to be dispelled? there are which need to be dispelled? there a re lots of which need to be dispelled? there are lots of barriers and reasons why people don't attend. there are

myths. there are myths that lesbians don't need to go, that's not true. there are myths about how certain cancers are caught and who might be more at risk. cervical cancer is caused by a really common virus cold hpv. most people have it at some point in their lives. —— called hpv. for most people it'll go away and not cause any harm. sometimes it can cause the cells to become abnormal. if not treated it could cause cancer. that is why this treatment is so important because it could stop that from happening. to be clear, women are sent reminders, is everybody? to be invited you must be registered with a gp. if you are not registered with a gp. if you are not registered you will not get an invite. you will get the invite in the post. if you are between 25 and 49 it every three years, and over 50 it's every five. how are you now?

i'm all clear. in march i will be going for my two—year checkup. i will be attending every time now. doing well now. really well. you are a great advert for early diagnosis. a walking advert for it. i will shout about it to anybody who will listen. i get the feeling you are evangelical about it! chuckles thanks to both of you. good morning, it's tuesday, pumpkins out and about and carol is amongst a whole bunch of them this morning. good morning, carol. good morning, carol. good morning. you are quite right, you might be able to see them behind me. daly isjust you might be able to see them behind me. daly is just breaking you might be able to see them behind me. daly isjust breaking here. if we go outside you will be able to see them properly. it is chilly outside. a touch of frost for places like hampshire and kent. in the capital temperatures ranging between seven and 12. the highest

temperature is in edinburgh, the lowest in london, so today is mixed fortunes. windy across scotland. in the south, we are expecting sunshine. that's because high pressure is firmly in charge of the weather. for some it will be similar to what we had yesterday. a weather front across scotland still producing that rain. windy across the north, but not as bad as yesterday, but across scotland we are still looking at gusts up to 50 miles to our. and similar gusts across the pennines. the england, wales, northern ireland, more cloud coming in this morning, thick enough to produce the odd spot of rain. in the sunshine, highs of about 16, 17 in aberdeen. to this evening and overnight, the rain weakens across the north and west. still a fair bit of cloud around. where it breaks it

would be chilly. but not as chilly as the nightjust gone, perhaps. the chance of some mist and fog patches forming as we go through the course of the night. tomorrow, the rain increasingly patchy across the north and west. more cloud tomorrow than we are looking at today. the best of the sunshine will be in the east and also the south. it'll be a breezy day tomorrow. not as windy as today. temperatures tomorrow up to about 15, 16 celsius. by thursday, we have a weather front coming in across the north—west. this will bring in some heavy rain. we've had some heavy rain over the past couple of days. as it sinks south, behind the wind will change direction and things will change direction and things will turn cooler for everybody. ahead of it, still some cloud, some breaks, some sunshine, especially across the south and east. temperatures down on the previous day. but as the wind veers tomorrow for northerly behind that weather front it'll turn much colder by the end of the week with the arrival of arctic air, snow showers in the

mountains across scotland, northern ireland, northern england, and north wales. and by the weekend we are looking at sigel figures. we will be lucky to get into double digits. thanks very much. the times are leading on theresa may's defiant over the irish border. and a picture of harry and meghan in australia. they were taking part in some sort of cleansing ceremony. the case of the murdered midwife on the sun, they also have a picture of meghan markle in that son dress. it has been likened to one worn by princess diana. a warning princess diana. awarning in princess diana. a warning in the telegraph that hip and knee operations are becoming life—threatening because of antibiotic resistance. also a great job theresa may. we must hold our

nerve is the caption. there is the picture from saint andrews university of students caked in shaving foam. it is part of celebrations for what students call raisin monday. first years thank them or senior mentors for looking after them. as somebody who took part in that yourself, as a former alum night. yes, i remember that day extremely well. in the olden days it wasn't just shaving foam, it was flour and water. —— is a former alum talking about massive tvs. my floating palace is bigger than yours, this is in the times. the rise of the superyacht. apparently there is a 40% increase in the number of these being ordered. steph was saying earlier that it is essentially mine is bigger than yours. roman abramovich used to have

the biggest in the world, the eclipse. but a new one is coming out which is $600 million. we did talk about this earlier. how much it costs to run it. once you throw in the chef, the fuel, the water for the chef, the fuel, the water for the swimming pool, all of that running costs, i have no idea what i'm talking about! water for the i'm talking about! waterfor the swimming i'm talking about! water for the swimming pool! i'm talking about! waterfor the swimming pool! good point. it takes a lot of money to maintain a swimming pool. staff, all of that. it is apparently 10%. so running this would cost you $60 million per year. most of us can just dream. lots of people are apparently buying 70 inch televisions now. john lewis has done an annual shopping trends report. the average screen size into a deterrent was 36 inches, now there are these massive tvs. —— the

average screen size in 2010 was 36 inches. nobody is buying alarm clocks any more, they are being replaced by mobile phones. trouser presses a re replaced by mobile phones. trouser presses are out, as our door knockers and desktop computers. i do know why we are getting rid of door knockers. we have a large tv, my wife to test it. because she has to sit back like this? i don't know. iam i don't know. i am probably with her. if you are watching on a big tv, or any tv, good morning. how often do you have a takeaway? once a month, every week — or every day? well, when you do, you'll have almost 40,000 outlets to choose from —

that's how many are operating across the uk right now. that's a 30% increase in just eight years. let's speak to professor louis levy, from public health england. thank you for talking to us about this this morning. how many is too many? it is not necessarily the number, it is we are eating more. 20% of our energy comes from food from outside the home. that means more calories, more saturated fat, more calories, more saturated fat, more sugar, more salt, because that is what these foods tend to have. you can get healthier options. it is about choosing the healthier options if you are eating out. is it a cultural change? away from seeing the takeaway as a treat? certainly is. if we are eating 20% of our food outside the house, then eating out is no longer a treat, it's become normal. we talk a lot about healthy eating. the promotion of healthy eating. the promotion of healthy eating. speaking specifically about ta keaway eating. speaking specifically about takeaway culture, how can government, how can local council, how can individuals, families, as well, how can they make a change in their area? we all have a role.

there is a government obesity plan. how they can put guidance out to help people choose the right options, the healthier options. for businesses, as well, it's about choosing the right ingredients, the healthier ingredients, therefore your products are healthier. cutting down on portion size. so it is more aligned with the energy intake we need. for local authorities, it's about thinking about how their fast food outlet are located. if we have lovely eating places around, we will eat there more. and for individuals it is about looking at options and choosing the healthy one. we're all eating about 300 calories more than we need every day. we need to choose options which are better for our diet. on average we are all eating 300 calories too many everyday? that's right. if you think about it

in terms of biscuits, it is a couple of biscuits. it might be cake you have with coffee in the middle of the day. it might be an extra large pizza. sorry, i haven't seen your diet, but i'm happy to give advice if you would like. it does involve a fairamount of cake. if you would like. it does involve a fair amount of cake. thinking about my own eating habits, it does come down to personal choice, doesn't it, and personal responsibility? it's about choosing something over something else. there is only so much that government and local council pressure can do if you just wa nt to council pressure can do if you just want to eat that food anyway. you can choose smaller options, you can choose the healthier option, you don't necessarily have to eat all of it. when you think about the cost of that... but it is also about thinking what the healthy option is. some pizzas can be 1000 calories, which is half the daily intake for a woman. is that a good choice? when you can compare that with a 600

calories pizza, which is what we recommend for one meal. if you are having an extra large coffee, that'll add extra saturated fat if it is made with whole milk. and if you add cake to that it'll be a lot of your daily intake. wise words. thank you very much. that's given me a lot to think about. i started getting through a pack of mince pies. i've already started it. i've seen you eat the whole thing in one sitting. i don't want to talk about my gluttonous past. maybe aim for two a day. maybe. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. children in london have the longest wait in the country to get help with their mental health, with many telling us they can only gain support when reaching crisis point. the average wait

is sixty—four days for treatment. ruth fox was fourteen when she was diagnosed with severe depression and couldn't access help for nine months. the most impactful people in my own journey have been the everyday people. i call them the everyday people because they've had to fill the gaps that i've had in the services i have been exposed to. you might be on a nine—month waiting list, what support are you getting within those nine months? from the services, absolutely nothing. nearly all metropolitan police officers want to carry spit guards, according to a survey by the police federation. the guards, also knows as spit hoods are put on people — who police are trying to restrain, when there's a risk that person could spit on staff. currently they are, only used by officers in custody suites. a grade one listed pumping station in south east london is facing closure. the crossness water pumping station might have to shut in march due to a serious asbestos problem. the trust is still short of £170,000 to complete the work. let's take a look at the travel situation now.

there are minor delays on the northern line this morning but a good service on all other lines. on the trains: passengers using south western railway may face disruption to their commute this morning because of a 5—day strike. the rail company say they hope to run two thirds of normal services. onto the roads now and traffic is building on the m4 brentford elevated section heading into town. in harringay: there are temporary traffic lights on green lanes in both directions between endymion road and manor house station. and in barnes: castelnau has temporary traffic lights for water mains work at the junction with trinity church road. now the weather with alex osborne. we have a promising look to the weather over the next few days. today is a decent day in the forecast. a lot of us should stay dry and bright. a good deal of sunshine. we are starting the day

on a chilly note. temperatures for many down to single figures. a dry day today for many. there will be some sunshine but it may turn hazy in the afternoon as high—level cloud builds in from the north. a fairly noticeable north—westerly breeze with us and temperatures reaching 16 celsius. a largely dry night to come. a good deal of clear sky to begin. but cloud moves in from the north. this will keep our temperatures up. as for the outlook, a great deal of dry and fine weather continuing over the next few days. large areas of cloud, but still some sunny spells breaking through from time to time. temperatures will be sliding away, noticed that drop, on wednesday 16 celsius, but by friday it'll turn much colder. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to dan and louise. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast

with dan walker and louise minchin. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. in what's believed to be the biggest equal pay strike ever seen in the uk, more than 8,000 women who work for glasgow city council have this morning begun 48 hours of industrial action. the council says there's no justification for the walkout, but the unions say they have no option after years of talks. it could cost up to a billion pounds to settle the dispute. the city relies on these women to do all the things the great city of glasgow doors. for the first time ever the city will now notice the vital role these women play and the fa ct vital role these women play and the fact they are hideously and crudely undervalued. the president of turkey has said he will reveal full information this morning about the killing

of the saudi journalist, jamal khashoggi. as new pictures emerge showing mr khashoggi's movements before he disappeared, the turkish president has vowed to deliver what he has called "the naked truth" over his killing. donald trump says he's not satisfied with saudi arabia's version of events while german chancellor angela merkel called the death "monstrous". nearly 30 nobel prize winners have written to the prime minister and the president of the european commission, urging them to do a deal on brexit to protect science. a survey at one of britain's leading research centres has found that many scientists are considering leaving the uk. they warn that a no—deal brexit would create new barriers to collaboration, and inhibit scientific progress. millions of women across england are failing to take up cervical cancer screening tests within the recommended time frame, according to new figures. public health england says that more than three million of those eligible have not had a smear test for at least three years. more than 200,000 women are diagnosed with cervical abnormalities in britain each year.

the duke and duchess of sussex have arrived in fiji for the eighth day of their pacific tour, their first official overseas trip since they were married. their royal highnesses have attended an official welcoming ceremony celebrating fijan culture, identity and heritage — a replica of the event attended by the queen and the duke of edinburgh on their visit to the island in 1953. british archaeologists have found what they believe to be the world's oldest intact shipwreck at the bottom of the black sea. it appears to have been there for 2400 years. the ship, thought to be ancient greek, was discovered with its mast, rudders and rowing benches all present, just over a mile below the surface. scientists used a remote—controlled submarine to locate the vessel, found just off the coast of bulgaria. have they found any treasure? i

don't know. we are speaking to one of the archaeologists later. it is really well preserved because there is no oxygen down there. it is a long way down. carroll will have the weather in about ten minutes. john is here with the sport. a whopper of a game in the champions league tonight? it is. two super clu bs, league tonight? it is. two super clubs, super players, paul pogba against cristiano ronaldo, picking his return to face his former club. there is extra attention this time around following the rape allegation that he is facing. he strenuously denies it. it was always going to be a big game but as a result of that it is bigger. he answered a question about it as well? yeah. he did. cristiano ronaldo is back in manchester. facing the media yesterday,

he says his lawyers are confident and that the truth is coming. joe lynskey has been looking at his return. ronaldo! the 19—year—old from portugal has given manchester united the lead in the cup final. he arrived a teenage talent and a superstar, but cristiano ronaldo returns to old trafford with the focus on more than football. two weeks ago he released a statement strenuously denying a rape allegation. this was his first press conference since. of course i'm not going to lie on this situation. i'm very happy. my lawyers, they are confident. and, of course, i am too. the most important is that i enjoy my football, i enjoy my life, i know that i'm example. i know 100%. in the pitch and outside the pitch. ronaldo's talent has made to make global brand, even at 33 it costjuventus nearly £100 million to get him. his return has been five goals in an unbeaten start to the season and tonight he'll look to do what he did against united

five years ago, score and perhaps apologise for it. ronaldo's manager that night is now in the home dugout. he's one of the best players of all times. and nobody can tell different than that. he's one of the best players of all times. it's as simple as that. in manchester the return of ronaldo reminds them of how it used to be, his welcome at the airport still tells of an icon. ronaldo! we know that this is a tough time for him, but on the pitch he still very much professional, still very much ronaldo, looking to get the headlines and be known as the leader, and the man ofjuventus. the player says eventually the truth will come first, and so far the controversy has proved no on field distraction. united now have to find a way to stop the football star they helped create. joe lynskey, bbc news. it's not just united in action this evening — manchester city face

shakhtar donetsk. manager pep guardiola says city aren't good enough to win the champions league just yet. they lost their opening game and despite the millions spent, he says they're lacking something special. arsenal's number ten helped make it a perfect ten, as they beat leicester 3—1 in the premier league. captain for the night, mesut ozil, started and scored their equaliser just before half—time. and he was involved again for this the goal of the night — a brillint team goal, like the arsenal of old — as he set up pierre emerick aubamayang, who scored two goals in three minutes, this one the pick of them. that's 10 wins on the spin in all competitons.. usain bolt‘s hopes of a football career are looking more and more doubtful. the jamaican has been training with australian side central coast mariners. the club say it's still discussing a possible permanent contract, but that without a cash injection from a third party they won't be able to sign the sprinter.

there was a shock defeat for the number one seed at tennis' season—ending wta finals in singapore. wimbledon champion angelique kerber was cruising after the first set against the netherlands' kiki bertens, but the world number nine fought back to win the last two sets. england's cricketers have the chance to finish their one—day series in sri lanka unbeaten — as long as they rain stays away. england are 3—0 up, with only today's game remaining. they'll be withoutjonny bairstow, who twisted his ankle playing football in training. play in columbo starts at ten o'clock this morning. and the organisers of rugby union's champions cup say they will apologise to cardiff blues and glasgow warriors, after they told the sides to wear kits that were almost identical. have a look if you can split the difference. glasgow changed from their usual black strip to sky blue — pretty much the same shade as the home side. it was difficult for players officials and spectators to see which team was which.

everybody. a nightmare. will it happen again? i doubt it. thank you. this year russian spies have been accused of involvement in a series of global cyber—attacks and fake news plots, creating diplomatic tensions with a number of countries around the world, including the uk. on top of this, there was the poisoning of the former russian spy, sergei skripal, and his daughter yulia in salisbury in march. so what does all of this mean when it comes to national security? here to tell us about their experiences are marina litvinenko, widow of poisoned former russian spy alexander litvinenko, and family friend alex goldfarb. thank you for coming in. lovely to see you both. however you seen the salisbury poisoning in particular,

however you seen salisbury poisoning in particular, however you seen that play out? first of all, it was very serious. an investigation started on the second day. it was a very strong reply of theresa may when she pointed to russia, saying, you need to a nswer pointed to russia, saying, you need to answer if it's your chemical and you need to just approve —— to answer if it's your chemical and you need tojust approve —— proved its you're not. there was international support, the international can in to need immediately reacted in a very strong way and russian diplomats were expeued way and russian diplomats were expelled from many countries. a lesson was learned after my husband's case. it has happened again. i wanted to ask you. we have spoken to you about your husband. i remember you calling from lessons to be learned. when you saw this had happened again, what were your thoughts? i think the reaction after

the public enquiry report was not enough. the people who committed this crime against my husband realised if they've done something similari realised if they've done something similar i would not be punished or nothing serious would happen. alex, talking about the smearing campaigns, russia's kurtic channel has made serious allegations against you, which you have denied. —— r t. it happened after the skripal attack. it was part of their spin control after they had been accused of being behind the poisoning of mr skripal. they put up a whole narrative, several programmes, millions of viewers, expert and so on, arguing that it was the cia

actually and m16, the intelligence services, who poisoned both litvinenko and skripal. in the case of litvinenko been named me as the murderer, as the cia agent who poisoned litvinenko, in order to make mr putin look bad as part of a general anti—russian trend in the western world. and then, also when my wife learned about it, i poisoned heras my wife learned about it, i poisoned her as well, according to their narrative. this looked very persuasive. it is part of a general trend positioning russia as being under attack from hostile western intelligence services. how do you defend yourself when you hear that? it is kind of weird when people start calling. one of them is broadcast in english in the united states. others in russian. there are

many russians around. people in america sue. i sued them for defamation in the federal court in new york, in manhattan. claiming damages. these complaints have been served on them now and we're waiting for their response. also, we are starting a public campaign. we went to washington so the senators involved in sanctions against russia, we urged them to include russian media organisations on the list of sanctions, even though they are reluctant because of the free speech protections. we talked to companies who advertise on russian tv to withdraw their advertising, because remarkably all of these assaults, not only on me but on the

we st assaults, not only on me but on the west in general, all these tricks that they play trying to influence the campaign, they are all financed by hundreds of millions of dollars. allegations about the brexit vote in this country, the presidential campaign, of course. marina, on a personal level, do you still experience and attempts to smear your own name and that of your husband? your own name and that of your husband ? what sort your own name and that of your husband? what sort of form does that take? exactly as alex said, it is not just about him. take? exactly as alex said, it is notjust about him. it is about me and my husband. i did go through all this 12 years. it is still happening. all programmes produced on russian tv or russian language abroad, they try every time to make defamation against me and my late husband as well. what alex is doing

now, it's very serious. it's very sensitive because we take action against the media. but it is very important to show the media is different. when you are talking about propaganda style media, you need to take action. very interesting to talk to you. thank you both. it is time for some weather from carol, who you both. it is time for some weatherfrom carol, who is in a field of pumpkins, i have been reliably informed. good morning. iam had a pumpkin farm in bishops stortford with jonathan, the owner. this is stunning. good morning. it how many pumpkins to you grow here? about half have been sold. we have a lot to do. we have boxes in the barn. to what size do they grow?

these look quite small, not to be rude. one of the disadvantages of the beautiful summer we have just heard, they've been a lot smaller. ifi heard, they've been a lot smaller. if i can show you... that's one of our biggest this year, 15 kilos, last year our biggest was 46 kilos, so last year our biggest was 46 kilos, so quite a difference. that's a huge difference. if you are trying to grow a good pumpkin and you cannot control the weather, what conditions would you plant them in? they need to go into nice soil with plenty of moisture. they don't need a lot of food. once they are established they grow quite easily. you have been here for generations, not you personally, but your family. yes, i'm fifth generation, we've been here a long time. we've been selling fruit and picture over the last 50 yea rs. fruit and picture over the last 50 years. if you grow 20000 and you do not sell them all, what happens to

them? we do not like wastage. if it isn't taken by local kitchens, we make lots of curries and soups with it. after that, it goes to pick france and the animals have it. no wastage? exactly. -- pig farms. it isa wastage? exactly. -- pig farms. it is a chilly day here, but across kent and hampshire we are looking at a touch of frost, tim bridge is falling down to three celsius. not dissimilar to what we had yesterday. wet and windy conditions in the north and west. dry and brighter in the south and east in particular. you can see on the pressure chart we have high pressure dominating. and east in particular. you can see on the pressure chart we have high pressure dominating. over the front skirting across the top of the country producing that rain. northern and western scotland getting the rain. we are seeing cars across northern ireland, getting into northern england and north wales, producing the odd splash of rain here and there. —— cloud across northern ireland. ahead of that for

southern england and eastern england and south—eastern scotland, we will have nice warm weather here. it'll be windy, but not quite as windy yesterday, but bear that in mind if you are on higher ground. the rain will ease, become more patchy and drizzly in the north and west. it. be windy. for northern ireland, england, and wales, there will be a bit of cloud around. when it breaks we are looking at another chilly night, but not as chilly as the one just gone, and showery and mist and fog patches forming. temperature wise, single figures in the south. for tomorrow, patchy light rain in the north and west. more cloud around. sunny spells. temperatures up around. sunny spells. temperatures up to 16. breezy. not as windy. on thursday we see the change. a weather front coming into the north—west, introducing heavy rain.

we've already seen some heavy rain, but as it moves south cooler air will filter in behind it. ahead of it, sunny spells, some clout, the best of the sunshine will be in the east. the temperature will be down slightly. heading into friday the weekend, the wind changes direction, to northerly, we will pull in arctic air. some of us saw highs of 20 celsius at the weekend, this coming weekend we will be likely to scrape double figures, plus there will be a wind—chill. where was the wind—chill coming from? what are we getting? straight down from the arctic. it is a northerly wind. and it will feel better. i was trying to get a tape measure. i shall explain... we were talking about tv ‘s earlier. a 90% increase in the sale of 70

inch televisions. the problem here is that this doesn't have inches on it. so i cannot tell you. i cannot remember how many inches... look at the screens behind us. can we show that? are you going to guess? the 70 inch tv goes from where the edge of your screen is behind you to... about... fourfifths down... this is not good. i will try and work it out. thank you. do not forget to measure diagonally. thanks, everyone. that went well! i'm sure lots of you will tell me how many centimetres there are in 70 inches, and i shall look forward to that. centimetres per inch. chuckles is the work of a home carer of equal value to that of a bin man? that's the question at the centre

of a dispute which today will see thousands of women council workers across glasgow walking out. steph is taking a look. yes it's an interesting one this. this is still making headlines. thousands of women are taking part in industrial action today and they work for glasgow council. glasgow council say there is no reason for this disruption. the workers say there is a failure by the council to make sure that men and women are paid equally forjobs make sure that men and women are paid equally for jobs of make sure that men and women are paid equally forjobs of the same value. at the heart of this is, how do you value? it's all very complicated so let's talk to sarah evans. what is the argument here. this goes back a while. the value of the work will be calculated. the female

workers said it didn't help them out very much because they undervalued women's work, as it is known, compared to male roles. the women's work, as it is, tends to be catering, caring, cleaning. the fellows are catering, caring, cleaning. the fellows a re in catering, caring, cleaning. the fellows are in distribution, driving, bins, that sort of thing, more physical stuff. on the back of that this dispute arose. it's been going through tribunals for forever and a day. it still hasn't been resolved. we are 12 years on from when this first arose. the women are saying that you cannot pay me less because i'm doing a traditional women's role, or what people would call a traditional women's role, simply because i am a woman. that is what the dispute is about. why should i, as a woman, be paid less than an equivalent role undertaken normally by a man. that is it in a nutshell in terms of what the argument is. how was this likely to

be resolved? unions are in negotiation. strike action has happened. that would suggest that it isn't being resolved. what we are seeing in various industries is the re—evaluation of those roles. sometimes it will take a court case for a judge to intervene and say, your role is of equal value of that person's role, so the page must be the same. it is so hard. it becomes subjective. like you mentioned, some of the examples of perhaps women's role, might be a carer, a guy might bea bin role, might be a carer, a guy might be a bin collector, or whatever. then how do you work out which is of more value? one might be more physical. one might be more important in another sense. who is doing this working out? it is complicated. it is a two step process. there is a bespoke timetable of hearings on the tribunalfor timetable of hearings on the tribunal for these claims because

they are complex. they often require expert evidence to assist the judge. ultimately the judge has the final say. often it is on a point scoring system. it can be difficult when you are comparing apples and oranges. but what many experts will do is work out a points—based system and will have a look at the differences. are they so big that this warrant a different pay. then you have the material factor on different pay. then you have the materialfactor on top of different pay. then you have the material factor on top of that, which is, is there a reason for the different on pay which is not to do with gender? it's complex. the tribunal ‘s are experienced in dealing with this. there are experts around. there is acas. they have a wealth of support available for all sectors of industry. it can be done and it has been done successfully in various sectors. what other examples are there where it has been done

successfully? some would argue in the nhs. part of the agenda for change, i think, the nhs. part of the agenda for change, ithink, was the nhs. part of the agenda for change, i think, was to do with the grading of roles. you will get your grade one to grade eight, or nine. the retail sector is struggling a bit. i think there is still that difference in terms of how do you compare a shop floor worker with a warehouse or distribution... and there is a legal battle happening there. exactly. there is morrisons, next, i think sainsbury‘s now, as well. and in the public sector, like glasgow, it still needs sorting out. it is so complicated. it is clearly a very important issue and one we will continue to talk about. i appreciate your time. have you got yourselves organised now? 177.8 centimetres is 70 inches. that

isa 177.8 centimetres is 70 inches. that is a very large television. i wasn't saying four fifths, i was saying about the size of it... anyway, i will put a picture on the bbc breakfast twitter. i think bbc breakfast twitter. ithinki bbc breakfast twitter. i think i am about 175 centimetres tall. how are we doing this? there is a 90% increase in 70 inch televisions being sold. how does anybody have the space? what else? quite a bit of uptake on this ta keaway story. quite a bit of uptake on this takeaway story. there have been more ta keaways takeaway story. there have been more takeaways on a high streets since records began, not that long ago, in 2010, but there has been a huge increase. we are asking how many a week is too many. someone said that last week they had nine. i would say that is a lot. yes, probably over and above the required amount of calories from food. let us know what you think about that. we will be back with the

headlines. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. a teenager has been stabbed to death on a street in south—east london. the 18—year—old man was found in armitage road in, greenwich, just before 9 thirty last night. the met say no arrests have been made over the incident. more than 110 murder investigations have been launched across london this year. children in london have the longest wait in the country to get help with their mental health, with many telling us they can only gain support when reaching crisis point. the average wait is sixty—four days for treatment. ruth fox was fourteen when she was diagnosed with severe depression and couldn't access help for nine months. the most impactful people in my own journey have been the everyday people. i call them the everyday people because they've had to fill the gaps that i've had in the services i have been exposed to. you might be on a nine—month waiting list, what support are you getting within those nine months?

from the services, absolutely nothing. a grade one listed pumping station in south east london is facing closure. the crossness water pumping station might have to shut in march due to a serious asbestos problem. the trust is still short of £170,000 to complete the work. let's take a look at the travel situation now... there are minor delays on the northern line this morning but a good service on all other lines. on the trains: passengers using south western railway may face disruption to their commute this morning because of a 5—day strike. the rail company say they hope to run two thirds of normal services. and woolwich line services to charing cross are suspended due to a signalling fault at charlton. onto the roads now and traffic is building on the m4 brentford elevated section heading into town. and in barnes: castelnau has temporary traffic lights for water mains work at the junction with trinity church road. now the weather with alex osborne.

we have a promising look to the weather over the next few days. today is a decent day in the forecast. a lot of us should stay dry and bright. a good deal of sunshine. we are starting the day on a chilly note. temperatures for many down to single figures. a dry day today for many. there will be some sunshine but it may turn hazy in the afternoon as high—level cloud builds in from the north. a fairly noticeable north—westerly breeze with us and temperatures reaching 16 celsius. a largely dry night to come. a good deal of clear sky to begin. but cloud moves in from the north. this will keep our temperatures up. as for the outlook, a great deal of dry and fine weather continuing over the next few days. large areas of cloud, but still some sunny spells breaking through from time to time. temperatures will be sliding away, noticed that drop, on wednesday 16 celsius, but by friday it'll turn much colder. i'm back with the latest

the biggest equal pay strike ever seen in the uk, more than 8000 women who work for glasgow city council will begin 48 hours of industrial action today. a wide range of services will be affected across the city. it could cost up to a billion pounds to settle the dispute. the council says there's no justification for the walk—out. i'm very disappointed, ijust think it's really unnecessary. i don't think it's fair on the claimants, it's not fair on the women, they will lose pay over the next couple of days, those who are not going to work, who are going to go out on strike. and there's going to be enormous disruption caused in glasgow and to some of the most vulnerable people in the city. but earlier on breakfast, the union leaders said they were left with no option, after years of talks. the city relies on these women to do other things the great city of

glasgow does. and for the first time ever the city will no notice the vital role these women play and the fa ct vital role these women play and the fact they are hideously and cruelly undervalued and as a result underpaid. the strike started at 7am this morning. millions of women across england are failing to take—up cervical cancer screening tests within the recommended time frame — according to new figures. public health england says that more than three million of those eligible have not had a smear test for at least three years. more than 200,000 women are diagnosed with cervical abnormalities in britain each year. the prime minister will brief her cabinet on the progress of the brexit negotiations this morning, after telling mps yesterday that she could accept a short extension to the transition period after the uk leaves the eu. it comes after a series of vitriolic briefings against mrs may by members of her own party. downing street has said that "personal vitriol has no place in politics". the government's been accused of failing to address the problem

of sexual harassment in public places. mps on the women and equalities committee says that while work is taking place to prevent sexual abuse and violence overseas, more needs to be done to tackle the issue at home. lisa hampele has more. the report says women and girls are being harassed on buses and trains, in bars and clubs, at university, in parks and on the street. such behaviour it says is relentless and becomes normalised as girls grow up. the most shocking thing was the way in which young women particularly we re in which young women particularly were being forced to change the way they live their lives on a daily basis. whether that is what the war, if they were running, if they were wearing headphones, they would avoid eye co nta ct wearing headphones, they would avoid eye contact with people on the street because they been brought up to believe that if they did not take those precautionary measures then they could be subject to sexual

harassment and that it would be theirfault. harassment and that it would be their fault. the committee concludes but while the government has pledged to eliminate sexual harassment by 2030 there is no evidence of action to achieve this. it says ministers must set out a plan. the mps want public campaigns to help tackle the issue and a law criminalising the nonconsensual creation and distribution of intimate sexual images. the committee also says the government should treat the problem ina similarway government should treat the problem in a similar way to road safety or smoking and want to train and bus operators to prohibit sexual harassment and the viewing of prerogative. turkey's president has said that today he will reveal ‘the naked truth‘ about how journalist jamal khashoggi died at the saudi consulate. the president promised to explain all the "details" of the case in a speech to his party later. let's get more now from our turkey correspondent mark lowen, who's in istanbul. in fact, we will come back to that.

the duke and duchess of sussex have arrived in fiji for the eighth day of their pacific tour, their first official overseas trip since they were married. their royal highnesses have attended an official welcoming ceremony celebrating fijan culture, identity and heritage — a replica of the event attended by the queen and the duke of edinburgh on their visit to the island in 1953. i think ithinki i think i remember seeing that on the first series of the crime, it was good, educational as well as entertaining! the number of takeaways in the uk has risen by more than a third since 2010, to almost 40,000. around one in every four adults in the uk is obese. the government says local authorities have a range of powers to create healthier environments and that it's also consulting on calorie labels on menus. british archaeologists have found what they believe to be the world's

oldest intact shipwreck at the bottom of the black sea. it appears to have been there for 2,400 years. scientists used a remote—controlled submarine to locate the the 75—foot vessel, found lying on its side about 50 miles off the coast of bulgaria. andy moore has the details. deep down in the black sea, archaeologists have been discovering dozens of wrecks, almost perfectly preserved in the dark waters where there is little oxygen. this particular wreck is from the byzantine period, around 1000 years old. but deeper down beyond the reach of human divers are much older ships. the oldest, from the classical greek period, was discovered and mapped by rovs, or remote operated vehicles. its state of preservation is said to be utterly amazing. when you think that the ship is often the most complex artefact ever made in pre—industrial civilisations, if you find a whole one from a period when aristotle was still alive, that is quite an event.

it looks something like this image on a greek vase held by the british museum. the ship has a mast, a single row of oars, and is about 20 metres long. further details and images of the ship will be released today, but it's unlikely it will ever be raised. its timbers are probably much too fragile to be brought to the surface. andy moore, bbc news. we will talk about that later but something else we have been debating is about television screens and how large they are, there is news isn't there? analysis is done quite regularly about what it is we are buying more of and less of, one of the things which has come out as a big rise according tojohn lewis is huge tv screens, 70 inch tvs. which we have worked out is our height.

this is the size of the tv. it is measured diagonally. yeah, so this is the size. but it's interesting, looking at what people are buying, thatis looking at what people are buying, that is huge, but also we are buying things like, robotic lawn mowers. it a lot about devices and interactive door bells rarely perhaps have a camera, which means on the flip side we are seeing a drop—off in things like alarm clocks. the traditional door knockers. but, it's a bit of fun isn't it? it gives you an idea of what people think it's worth paying money for. you can see why alarm clocks are not being purchased and immoral, everyone just alarm clocks are not being purchased and immoral, everyonejust uses their phone. trouser presses as well. i don't know anyone who has ever had one of those. me neither!

the turkish president has said today he will reveal the naked truth about how journalist jamal khashoggi died at the saudi consulate. he has promised to explain all the details in a speech he is giving way to run, we canjoin mark: in istanbul, what are we expecting? the naked truth says the turkish ——. yes, he is saying he will reveal everything that happens in the killing of jamal khashoggi, everything that happens in the killing ofjamal khashoggi, he everything that happens in the killing of jamal khashoggi, he says they will not accept attempts to whitewash what they call a savagely planned murder. we are expecting more incriminating evidence to put pressure on the saudi leadership to come clean. there is frustration that saudi arabia has continually changed its story in the last couple of weeks from a flat denial, to claiming that he was killed any fistfight orjoe cole, to the

foreign minister saying he was murray bird by rogue, and authorised agents. there will be an attempt to up agents. there will be an attempt to up the pressure on the saudis but what is feeding into all of this is a regional power play that president erdogan senses an opportunity to diminish the crown prince. they are regional rivals. the message is directly bursting at the saudi crown prince but also at donald trump who is the staunch ally of the crown prince in washington. you talk about the fact that the story keeps changing, the fact that that is happening is people look at it and even, they think there must be some foul play because the story is com pletely foul play because the story is completely different to what it was. i think there is a feeling that this com pletely i think there is a feeling that this completely lacks credibility even though donald trump has said it was a good first step, the saudi admission, and he believed it was credible initially. the result was

incriminating evidence, new cctv footage sewing one of the members of the alleged saudi hit squad dressing up the alleged saudi hit squad dressing up asjamal the alleged saudi hit squad dressing up as jamal khashoggi after the killing and walking around istanbul with a fake beard and glasses wearing jamal khashoggi's clothes. that, plus the fact for example a top aide to mohammed bin salman is said to have been beamed into the consul general‘s office over skype and launched a thai raid against jamal khashoggi, and used the words bring me the head of the dog. members of the saudi hit squad being directly linked to the crown prince and new footage showing consulate employees burning documents as evidence so it does not look good for the saudis. turkey is tightening the screws ever further to try to get the saudis to face up to what they say was state sanctioned premeditated murder. thanks very

much, we'll hear exactly what president and one has to say about that later on today. the parents of 15 year old natasha ednan—laperouse, who died after suffering an allergic reaction to a pret a manger sandwich, will meet the environment secretary michael gove today, to discuss changing the law around allergen labelling. a coroner ruled that the information about the ingredients on the baguette natasha had eaten, had been inadequate. we can talk now to natasha's parents nadim and tanya ednan—laperouse. good morning to both of you, thank you so much forjoining us and talking to us about this. before we start talking about the future let's talk a little bit about tasha, what was she like? she was a force of life, she loved to live, she loved to do things, she was pretty active, she was a teenager who was fine and loving. all the things parents say about the children, we all love our

children and she just add something about her, you did not forget her. when you met her you would remember her, always. she was very loved, she had many friends, she is greatly missed by so many. absolutely. i can see the smile across your face. indeed. the smile at the memories and the sense of loss and love for our child that is no longer with us. it's a very powerful emotion indeed. of course. you have been so clear in what you both want to happen, you have got this meeting today, what you want to come out of it? the meeting, which we welcome, it's really simple, what we are looking for as a family. that is that the food labelling laws in this country come up to scratch. by that i mean

in particular all food that is consumed by people here should be correctly labelled with ingredients and the allergens in particular food which is pre—packaged for sale, coming wrapped up in packaging of any sort. people need to know what they are eating, they need to know. this would have been something which was part of your whole family, you knew she had this severe allergy and this is something you would have lived with on a daily basis? we talk natasha to trust labels, to trust ingredients, she learned all the different words for allergens, she could read and understand them by the time she was nine—year sold and it was worry much a part of our life. they mustn't be confusion with labels. it needs to be standardised, if there is a label it should be the same every word and it should include all the ingredients and the allergens. in your view high quickly

and easily could this be done? we personally don't see why it's such a problem to be able to do something like this quickly. we assume food companies know where their food has come from, they understand for the manufacturing processes start and end up and what they have the foods that they why would it be difficult to label ingredients on a simple sticker? it doesn't make sense, we don't get that, we don't get the complication and apparently there is a large cost involved and we don't really understand that either. what is your advice to families in a similar position, when they buy food, as things stand at the moment, what can they do? as it stands at the moment it's actually really quite dangerous and quite tricky because there are all sorts of responses by different retailers, it's a real mishmash of information out there. some people labelled

correctly, some don't and some have wa ke correctly, some don't and some have wake of you are presented in the high street with different chain stores labelling differently, that isa stores labelling differently, that is a nightmare waiting to happen which is why we really, really want this change to the law to come in very quickly to remove any possibility of people dying in the way our child did in a very tragic way. of course, there is no doubt, natasha is story has touched the hearts of so many people. what's that like as a family? well, you know, she died over two years ago and what's happening now, it's brought everything back as if it was yesterday, since the inquest. but there's so much support and somewhat understanding, you know, we see natasha's face in the press but for a good reason. yes stop she would wa nt a good reason. yes stop she would want this, she would really want this to happen to help so many other

people who are allergic, it's something that has to be done, i don't think it's something we couldn't be doing what we are doing now. is this something that you as a family will continue at? definitely, we feel natasha's situation, her case has put a spotlight on the kind of horrors that can happen in our country today, there is so much information around us, but there's so information around us, but there's so little information about the food we eat and we really, really pray this doesn't happen to anyone else which is why we are firmly behind the long term of this campaign. it's too important to just let the long term of this campaign. it's too important tojust let it has bite. thank you both very much indeed for your time and i hope the meeting today goes well. thank you for talking to us and breakfast. lovely to have them on the programme. it is 18 minutes past eight. we missed the case. it was lovely. —— kiss.

with hallowe'en fast approaching carol's at a pumpkin farm for us this morning in bishop's stortford. look at all those beautiful pumpkins, but it's notjust pumpkins grown here, it's winter squash, a kaleidoscope of colours. have you ever thought of buying a winter squash, taking off the top, scooping out the flesh and securing a candle inside? obviously don't leave a little candle unattended but that's another good use, i was told the best, tastiest squashes for roasting ids once, the festival and the celebration. do you go. not much roasting to be done today, it's freezing. some of us seeing temperatures as low as 2 degrees, some frost in kent and hampshire. the weather story today not

dissimilar to yesterday, wet and windy conditions in the north and west, brighter as we push further south and east. i pressure firmly in charge. france skirting across northern and western scotland introducing rain. not as windy as it was yesterday in the northern isles. across scotland winds gusting at 40-50 across scotland winds gusting at 40—50 miles an hour. northern ireland, north—west england, north west wales more cloud coming in on the north—westerly breeze, some of that thick enough for odd spot of rain. eastern scotland, looking at sunny spells developing, temperatures in london 16 degrees, possibly 17, 18 in the shelter of the grampians in aberdeen. this evening and overnight, the rain in the north and west weakening and turning patchy and drizzly. still quite windy, still quite a lot of cloud. we could see shallow mist and fog patches in the south, no heatwave tonight, not quite as cool as last night. tomorrow, any rain

left in the northern isles pushing away, patchy rain in the north and west of scotland, more cloud than today, brighter skies in parts of the south and east, temperatures up to around 17 degrees. as we head on into thursday, we start to see a change in the weather. that is in the shape of a weather front coming to the north—west, introducing rain, as it sinks southwards thursday and friday cold air following behind. before it does, england, wales, northern ireland, parts of southern scotland, varying amounts of cloud and sunny spells, temperatures peaking at 14 degrees. friday, into the weekend, the wind changing to a northerly, coming from the arctic, we are looking at cool weather this weekend, single figure temperatures. really struggling to get to 10 degrees. remember, windy in scotland today, windy across the pennines, if

you are in a high sided vehicle, bear that in you are in a high sided vehicle, bearthat in mind. you are in a high sided vehicle, bear that in mind. carol, thank you, those conflicting spectacular. —— those conflicting spectacular. —— those pumpkins looking spectacular. when bill evans heard the first reports of a bombing at the boston marathon back in 2013 — he had just completed the race himself. as the commander of boston's police department he put on his uniform and rushed back to the scene to help co—ordinate the emergency response. now he's working with uk communities to help prevent further attacks. billjoins us now. good morning and thank you for coming in, we'll talk to you about what you are doing in the uk in a moment but that mustard and a horrendous moment, you finish the marathon and you realised something awful happened for you were not long before. i had just awful happened for you were not long before. i hadjust run awful happened for you were not long before. i had just run down the street, i was in the hot tub relaxing and my men ran in and told me to go back to the scene after an hour, i ran down the street on a beautiful day, to see the young

bodies on the street, the damage caused by the bomb, i always say it's a sight i will never get out of my mind. you were responsible fora, what was a manhunt, for... for the next five days. president barack obama and his wife came to town, a hectic five days, finally we got word the last suspect was unable to come i was fortunate i was in the area, i was the very first one on the boat, i was the incident commander when we were finally able to get him out of the boat and i was never so to get him out of the boat and i was never so relieved to realise we got two guys responsible for blowing up our city and marathon. you say are city and marathon and presumably it feel as personal bus, doesn't it? yes, especially myself, i love running, i've done 53 marathons, boston is a close city, we are all united and to do that to us, i think asa united and to do that to us, i think as a police force and as a runner,

we all took it slowly, we probably slept ten hours that all five days, i never had such a good feeling as when we got the individual in the boat. there is a startling similarity to what you say, the same reaction to the bomb here in manchester just down the reaction to the bomb here in manchesterjust down the road from where we are this morning. how did you first come to try and link that together, what brought you to the uk together, what brought you to the uk to try and help us recover in the same way as boston? i came here in january and we met with manchester police and we talked about are shared experiences and what a tragic event it was for the city and have both boston and manchester came together and supported their city. more importantly we talked about the trauma and the aftermath of what not only the victim soul but the police officers, getting them trauma response and making sure mentally they are ok. that's not normal to see what we saw but they both in

boston and manchester. are you able to help you in the uk, are you finding it's helping?” to help you in the uk, are you finding it's helping? i think it is, i remember we met, we talked about each other‘s experiences. it's so similar, it's almost here. ariana grande, so many innocent children hurt for no reason at the pantera, the officers responding, doing a greatjob in the aftermath, how the city pulls together and rallies around the first responders, that's cute. we are sharing best practices on how to make that never happen again. have you told them about, you are very again. have you told them about, you are very big on lakes with the community, i'd love you to explain how the purchase of an ice cream van a p pa re ntly how the purchase of an ice cream van apparently has made a big difference. how did it work? immunity policing is big in boston, we are always trying to find unique ways of bringing police closer to the community and what better way than an ice cream truck? have

officers ride around in ice cream trucks giving away free ice cream to the kids and the elderly, it's a way to start a blog on a positive. usually, all too often, it's a negative interaction that brings police together and it's a good way to make inroads with young kids to make sure it they realise we are their friends not their enemy. that's what i wanted to ask you. you mentioned trying to stop these things happening in the future, is that part of your plan? it is, the idea of bringing us closer to the community, heaven forbid a plot or something is going on in the background, people are more apt to approach an officer and let us know what is going on in their neighbourhood and did something bad happens hopefully they will let us know. the idea of bringing community and police together, that's what it's all about. we should not be warriors, we should be guardians of the community. thank you very much, i'm so impressed, you been for a seven mile run this morning. over 50

marathons? that's what i like to do. 53. you are watching breakfast. time now to get watching breakfast. the news, travel and weather where you are. we have a big area of high pressure keeping things settled, a few weather fronts moving their way into northern areas giving outbreaks of rain across the north and west of scotland, bit of rain this morning in north eastern part of england but that will clear with sunny spells, sunny spells toured many southern areas but this cloud across northern ireland and much of north—western scotla nd ireland and much of north—western scotland into north—west england and the midlands, breezy day as well, gusts of 50—55 in the north, maximum

temperature is dirty 17 in northern parts. tonight we keep the wind, cloud down to the midlands, some clever spells with southern areas meaning it will be quite a chilly night, temperatures perhaps in double figures at about ten or 11 degrees. during wednesday it's very similar, patchy rain towards the north and west of scotland, brighter skies towards the east, north—east england, wales, too much of southern areas of england there will be sunshine, cloud times across and western parts, temperatures getting 13-16. that's the western parts, temperatures getting 13—16. that's the same as we going to thirsty, high pressure, the weather across the far north, that will move its way south, that's what's going to bring change to

conditions. as for thursday still rain affecting the far north—west of scotland, still that need of cloud coming from the north west. good deal of bright weather with sunshine in eastern and southern areas and again temperatures 12—14, getting colder but it will get colder still by friday. this is business live from bbc news with ben thompson and ben bland. saudi arabia's investment conference gets under way, overshadowed by claims the country was behind the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi. live from london, that's our top story on tuesday 23rd october. at least 40 company bosses and trade ministers from around the world have pulled out but hundreds are still attending the three—day summit in riyadh. also in the programme:
