good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and mega munchetty. our headlines today. retail billionaire sir philip green denies unlawful sexual or racist behaviour — he was named in parliament as the man behind legal action to stop claims being published. mps report that universal credit — the government's flagship benefit system — is causing "unacceptable hardship" for many claimants. presenter and strictly star katie piper tells us about her new rehabilitation centre for burns survivors like herself. i hope that it shows a life—changing situation does not have to be life ending. credit card spending hit a 20—year high in september with brits now owing more than £41; billion. should we be worried? arsenal's incredible winning streak continues — this time in europe. it's now 11 victories on the trot, as danny welbeck‘s late goal finally breaks sporting lisbon‘s resistance in the europa league. it's friday, october the 26th.

our top story. sir philip green, the billionaire owner of some of the biggest brands on the high street, says he "categorically and wholly" denies allegations of unlawful sexual or racist behaviour. it comes after labour peer lord hain named him in parliament, as the businessman behind an injunction to stop the claims being published. keith doyle reports. he's the retailer whose business dealings made him rich and famous. but his attempt to stay out of the headlines through a court injunction hasn't worked. the daily telegraph was prevented by the courts from neighbouring by the courts from naming sir philip green who had accusers of sexual and racial harassment against staff members. but, in the house of lords, former cabinet minister peter hain used parliamentary privilege to name him. later, lord hain defended his actions. there's been some criticism on social media, but i've had

overwhelming support, particularly from women. but another former cabinet minister questioned if this was an abuse of parliamentary privilege. it seems to me that if three senior judges of the appeal court had looked at all the evidence, looked at what i presume was a daily telegraph argument that this was in the public interest and decided to put an injunction on it, there has to be a very good reason for a member of the house of lords, not the commons, not an elected politician with a constituency, to breach that. the bbc cannot verify the telegraph's claims, and sir philip green has denied any wrongdoing. in a statement he said... there have been renewed calls for the owner of top shop to be stripped of his knighthood. sir philip green denies the allegations against him but the question is, what will his customers, who are mainly women, make of them? keith doyle, bbc news. universal credit is causing

"unacceptable ha rdship" for many of the claimants it was designed to help, according to a group of mps. the public accounts committee criticised the department for work and pensions for turning a "deaf ear" to the concerns raised around the roll—out of the benefit. our political correspondent chris mason, is in westminster. this story around universal credit, there have been long—term issues and at the centre people who say they are not receiving what they should. what does the report telus cup smack it is striking this is the third time this month universal credit, the flagship reform of benefits system, putting six benefits into one and is then paid on a monthly basis, has been strongly criticised. we had to former prime ministers in sirjohn major and gordon brown being critical and now the report by

the public accounts committee suggesting a culture of indifference within the department for work and pensions. they say in the summary to the extensive reports that this is the extensive reports that this is the same criticism, about the same department five years ago when the benefit was first introduced and since then there have been persistent delays. it is not com plete persistent delays. it is not complete in terms of roll—out for another five years. we can hear from the chairman of the committee, a labourmp. the chairman of the committee, a labour mp. they have attempted to change the roll—out but it has had money taken out of it so it has had an impact on half of universal credit claims are getting less money than they were on the benefits of these are things the department should have thought about. these are people who if they claim to the first time would not have any food, money in the purse, having to pay re nt money in the purse, having to pay

rent and if they wait five weeks for money to arrive, it makes it difficult to live. all of this acts asa difficult to live. all of this acts as a political prod on the government ahead of the budget which the chancellor delivers on monday. a number of conservative mps including iain duncan smith, one of the architects of universal credit, call for more money in the project to try to make it less difficult for those recipients who at the moment sometimes have to wait quite a while between coming off the old package of benefits and going onto the new one. it is worth saying that at the sharp end of this there have been real issues about how it is rolled out. if you have been affected, let us out. if you have been affected, let us know this morning. we would be interested to hear your stories not least because we will be speaking to the minister on universal credit at 748. and you can get in touch via

e—mailand 748. and you can get in touch via e—mail and social media. us police investigating pipe bombs sent to high—profile critics of president trump are focussing their inquiries on the state of florida. an explosives team is reported to be examining a postal distribution centre near miami. another two suspicious packages were identified yesterday, bringing the total so far this week to ten. google has sacked 48 people, including 13 senior managers, over sexual harassment claims since 2016. the news comes after the new york times reported that one executive received $90 million when he left the company four years ago — despite google claims of sexual harassment against him were credible. an allegation he denies. scientists say they've created a new antibiotic that could help in the fight against drug—resista nt bacteria. it's said to trick it's way into the bacteria, before killing it from the inside. initial clinical trials have been described as promising. earlier this week, health officials warned of a rise in some drug—resista nt infections. people living near the seaside in england haven't faced up

to the reality climate change, a new report has claimed. the committee on climate change is warning sea levels may rise by up to a metre over the next 80 years — within the lifetime of today's children. roger harrabin has the details. in the eye of the storm — dawlish in devon in 2014, battered by the waves, train tracks destroyed. today's report says more of this will happen as sea levels are pushed higher by man—made climate change. here is another problem that the committee warns will get worse. these homes at hemsby in norfolk slipped into the sea as waves ate away the cliff below. the report says maybe 100,000 properties are at risk like this. the committee says the authorities have to get real with people about which homes are likely to be saved and which will be too expensive to protect. the current approach to protecting the english coastline is just not fit for purpose. and we really do need to wake up

to the very significant challenges that we have ahead. sea level is rising and that's going to mean that we get considerably worse coastal erosion and indeed coastal flooding. power plants, ports, gas terminals and other infrastructure are also at risk, the report says. it says the government needs to focus on protecting these assets, as well as saving people's homes. and to take seriously the inevitability of sea—level rise. the government says more sea defences are being built. a spokesman said people would be protected from climate change. roger harrabin, bbc news. a new scheme aimed at supporting young people leaving the care system says it will help create 10,000 work opportunities over the next decade. the announcement comes after it was revealed almost half of care leavers aged between 19 and 21 are not in education or employment. more than 50 businesses, charities and government departments have signed up

to what's being called the care leavers covenant ashley john—ba ptiste reports. the university of winchester. it's here that the education secretary's come to meet students who have been in care and talk about a new programme aimed to help them succeed. so the care leavers covenant is about bringing people together, bringing firms together, universities — like today — government, local government, everybody. i'm actually a care leaver and we know that many looked—after children face obstacles. why are you only doing this now? you're quite right, ashley. i think it's an important landmark moment of talking about helping those young people getting into the world of work, bringing people together — firms, universities, local councils — everybody, to say, what more can we do? currently, 40% of young care leavers are not in education or training. that's compared to 13% for this age group overall. these care leavers have broken the mould to make it to university, and they welcome the new plans.

er...it sounds great on paper. once i see it actually taking action, i think that's when i'll believe it. i think, as care leavers, we're used to being disappointed, we're used to being let down a lot of the time, we're used to being promised things and not being given them. luckily, when i went into care, i had my social workers and my foster mum encouraging education, getting me to think about going to university. without that, i'd never have gone to uni. it's still rare for people who have been in care to make it to university or into high—earning jobs. it's this initiative that aims to break down those barriers to help more care leavers make it into higher education and into thejob market. ashleyjohn—baptiste, bbc news. the number of commuters fainting on the london underground is at alarming levels, according to the rmt union. more than 800 people have collapsed during the morning rush hour over the past two years. passengers have complained of overheating and overcrowding but transport for london says it's

constantly trying to keep temperatures down. a so—called millennial railcard is being launched in england, giving 26—to—30—year—olds discounts on train fares. the scheme was originally trialled in march, with 10,000 cards selling out within hours. industry body the rail delivery group says they'll go on sale before the end of the year and will be available via a mobile app rather than as a physical card. the duke and duchess of sussex wore traditional tongan clothing and were serenaded with a song about mosquitoes as part of their visit to tonga earlier today. prince harry and meghan arrived at the south pacific nation yesterday, the third country they've visited on their royal tour. earlier they attended the dedication of a forest reserve to the queen's commonwealth canopy — a project designed to create a network of forest conservation initiatives.

i will serenade you later with a song about wasps. a lot of buzzing, i presume. let's not encourage things. i want to hear what the song about mosquitoes is. you have to embrace different cultures. when you hear it on the surface, it is an odd thing. i was expecting a story about mosquitoes. there is a buzz about arsenal. they have a new manager but they are on at 11 game winning streak and three more they equalled the all—time record set under george graham in 1997. three more games and they will do it. the arsenal manger is refusing to think about any records despite his team extending their winning run to 11 games in all competitions.

and it was thanks to this late goal from danny welbeck. it saw them beat sporting lisbon 1—0 in portugal to retain top spot in their europa league group. chelsea also won at stamford bridge. not such a good night for celtic who were beaten 2—0 at german side rb leipzig. brendan rodgers' side are third in their group and face an uphill task to qualify for the knock out stage. rangers drew 0—0 at home to spartak moscow. will britain's domination of the tour de france continue? 0rganisers reveal the highest route in tour history to make next year's race more competitive. and caroline wozniacki says she hopes to become a role model for people with rheumatoid arthritis after revealing she's got the condition. the world number three made the announcement after she was knocked out of the wta finals. we will have more on that and the papers shortly. indeed. we will look

at the papers now. the front page starting with the daily telegraph. sir philip green named as the businessman at the centre of harassment allegations which he strongly denies. the metro newspaper highlights lord haine used parliamentary privilege to name the top shop owner. the guardian says sir philip green denies any suggestion he was guilty of unlawful behaviour. and across many of the papers, he is on the front page of the daily mirror and it says the naming of him follows the denting of his reputation after bhs collapsed. you will see the word sir crossed out. there has been debate and now add comments about whether his knighthood should be removed. the inside pages in the business

section. there's a story about twitter. they've just reported revenue, so twitter. they've just reported revenue, so their profits are up, reve nu es by revenue, so their profits are up, revenues by nearly 30%. interestingly, twitter say it's because they are managing now to get hold and control a bit better but those automated accounts, fake accou nts those automated accounts, fake accounts that people are setting up, they think advertisers believe them now that they are actually on top of that and preventing people from setting up fake accounts and that's why they've brought in more advertising revenue. there's been a lot of debate about where the revenue of twitter comes in and its market value has increased and increased. it's interesting seeing that revenue rising. yes, getting money in. looking in the guardian. this might wind people up a bit this morning. family fortunes, how the world's billionaires grew 20% richer last year. looking at the details of this particular piece, this is by

the swiss bank ubs that they have information from, saying that the super—rich of the world have grown richer than at any other period in history. even more than way back in the days of the rothschilds and there's significant us families. they say that nowadays we are seeing the development of new super—rich families across the world that will be powerful in all kinds of sears. the rich get richer. they certainly do. more on the story of caroline wozniacki, saying that some days she wakes up thinking she can't get out of bed, she's in so much pain. she only revealed this recently. she was feeling unwell after wimbledon but didn't want to tell her opponents because they didn't want them thinking they had an advantage. she's going to try to do more now to help people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. 0ther help people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. other days she feels fine. this story has talked my heart. former autoglass racer ron easson is 102. they was back in the

19605. still easson is 102. they was back in the 1960s. still was racing and driving until he was 100. he went on the to fix his tv aerial and the lad it slipped, he got stuck up there for three days until he was discovered by the lady delivering his milk, who raised the alarm. he was rescued and is now in a stable condition in hospital. didn't he have a great nickname? tonne up ron because of 100 mph. we wish him well. one picture story for you. this is a good one! there's been a lot of stuff about pumpkins. knew what to do with plug—ins out there, nobody knows how to make soup. here are some more. this is london zoo. a p pa re ntly some more. this is london zoo. apparently pumpkins are being used for breakfast for the gorillas. i've never carved pumpkin. for breakfast for the gorillas. i've never carved pumpkinlj for breakfast for the gorillas. i've never carved pumpkin. i you're

missing out! i? the gorilla never carved pumpkin. i you're missing ounm the gorilla looks unimpressed. he's looking away, looking for something else. he's probably wondering what happened to all the pumpkin poll. the good stuff from the inside. he's probably after the soup. most people at lunchtime perhaps enjoyed a sandwich or pumpkin soup. spider—man, this man that climes these buildings, he has been climbing... declined this building in the city of london. this is amazing. it took in 40 minutes over lunch. 662 feet is the height of the heron tower. the tallest skyscraper in the city of london. his nickname is spider—man. he was arrested when he got back down. they had to evacuate the area at. that makes me a bit dizzy. you probably climb to that building with harness? no, idid climb to that building with harness? no, i did the tall race, 963 stairs

but it was inside. everyone races 7 but it was inside. everyone races up? power racing, goes around the world. there was one in london, but i was way behind the leader who did it in eight minutes. that sounds all. you are your pretty fit, though. not when it comes to steps. ican though. not when it comes to steps. i can walk and cycle but not steps! charlie would whizz up there. thank you. we have some beautiful vistas for you this morning. sarah is at stonehenge. it may be dark now but i think we're going to see some stunning views. we can see the stones. lots of facts and figures as well as the weather. good morning. good morning. i'm at stonehenge this morning because we are celebrating a really important centenary. it's been 100 years since stonehenge was gifted to the public and prior to that 100 years, the stones were in quite bad state. some we re stones were in quite bad state. some were almost toppling over, held up by wooden poles. 100 years ago a

programme of conservation and maintenance and restoration started and it's still going on today. the stones are in a very sturdy estate today and through today and over the weekend, there's going to be lots of events celebrating this important centenary. later in the programme we'll see a cake in the shape of stonehenge and there's also a huge inflata ble stonehenge and there's also a huge inflatable stonehenge and also a special piece of music that's been commissioned. 0nto the weather. it's quite literally start to the day here but not as cold as elsewhere across the country. the forecast really over the next few days is for a real change in the weather. things will be turning much colder. the first early taste of winter and we will see a mix of sunshine and showers. this morning we've got a weather front across parts of southern england and south wales at first, bringing more cloud and a few spots of rain. that front will sink away to the south, so by about lunchtime we are all in the cold northerly airflow, so lots of

sunshine around but also plenty of showers. most of the showers will be packing in around parts of northern and eastern scotland. some of the showers across scotland will be falling as snow on the hills and mountains. northern ireland and northern england seeing the mix of sunshine and a few showers around. plenty of showers down the east coast of england. temperatures will struggle, perhaps just about getting into double figures for a time but turning colder into this afternoon. there will be some sunshine but it will feel pretty chilly when you add on the impact of those north or north—westerly winds this afternoon. as we move through the cause of this evening and overnight, many of the showers will ease away so it will become dry and clear, but we'll keep the showers packing in around the east coast, the north coast of scotla nd east coast, the north coast of scotland and down the irish sea coast. temperatures overnight will be pretty chilly, falling widely to around freezing in the countryside, even a little below. the coldest night of the season widely across the uk. after that chilly, frosty

start to saturday morning, it will be another day of sunshine and showers, fairly similar to what we'll have today. most showers will be pushing across eastern england, eastern and northern scotland and down the irish sea coasts, so northern ireland, west wales, seemed a few showers. sunshine for many central part of the country but temperatures will struggle, only around 7—9 for most of us, just about squeezing into double figures in the far south—west. sunday, fairly similar. chilly again with a north or north—easterly wind. there will be showers around the east coast of england in particular but many other parts of the country should see a good deal of dry weather with some sunshine, but again it will feel pretty chilly out there, so temperatures by sunday afternoon between seven to 12 degrees perhaps in the one spots towards the south—west, but certainly a real change ahead over the next few days after our mild autumn so far, it will come as a bit ofa autumn so far, it will come as a bit of a shock as temperatures are set to tumble into the weekend. thank

you. i'm looking forward to hearing lots of facts. 0ne you. i'm looking forward to hearing lots of facts. one thing i learned about stonehenge, that the outer circle of standing stones are called sorenson is, did you know that? no. each ways 22 tonnes. four elephants. i'm also, on a less factual bases, looking forward to dawn breaking over stonehenge. stunning. she recently waltzed and foxtrotted on to our screens as one of the stars of strictly, but away from the dance floor, burns survivor katie piper is working to help others affected by an issue close to her heart. through her charity, the katie piper foundation, she's opening a new rehabilitation centre to help other survivors with their recovery. graham satchell has been to take a look. i received 85% burns. i was later told that i had a 1% chance of survival. so, i am that 1%. danielle owes her life to the nhs.

after being in a devastating fire, she had more than 200 hours of surgery. but, when she was finally discharged, she became terribly depressed. i felt isolated, alone, ugly, unwanted. as far as i was concerned, my life was over — i lost my life in the fire. danielle is meeting strictly star and burn survivor katie piper. hi, how are you? this is a new rehabilitation centre set up by the charity the katie piper foundation. it's such a big thing that's affected when you're burned, isn't it? the strength. the centre will offer a range of services — physiotherapy, intensive mental health counselling, peer support. service is not currently available on the nhs in this form. services not currently available on the nhs in this form.

being a burn survivor myself and having my ownjourney, i had fantastic treatment on the nhs, but recognised a gap in the rehabilitation of a survivor. so, we've nearly putting the finishing touches. katie's charity is trying to fill that gap. burn survivors will live here on site for a month. it's hoped, in the first year, 20 patients will be treated. i hope that it shows a life changing situation does not have to be life ending. so proud of you! that these kind of injuries, while temporarily devastating, don't have to destroy you. hello. nice to see you again. how are you? katie is meeting professor shokrollahi, a consultant surgeon at the whiston hospital on merseyside and the clinical lead at katie's charity. i'm just going to do a quick shot of the laser. so there we go. and it's very, very precise, because we have set that with micron precision. professor shokrollahi's laser treatment will also be offered at the centre. it had a dramatic impact on danielle. basically, my face was probably

out here, all risen. the scores were so thick. the scars were so thick. no make—up will cover the lumps up, so to have that, so it's now a lot smoother, again, it changed my life. it gave me a new lease of confidence. just look, i could not even get out of bed and now i'm here, talking to you about helping other people, so just a big full circle. ijust couldn't be prouder of katie and her vision and what we're all doing here. danielle has transformed her life. she's now working with katie's rehabilitation team, offering guidance, support and hope. graham satchell, bbc news. gosh, danielle's story... the

recovery or the change in those burns and skies, fantastic. very inspirational. you can see more about the work done by katie piper's charity on our instagram and facebook pages. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. the number of thefts on the tube has risen by more than a third in the past two years — and it seems you're more at risk from thieves on the central and piccadilly lines than anywhere else on the underground. data from the british transport police show saturdays between six and 7pm were the most common time for pickpocketers to strike. a skyscraper climber nicknamed the "french spider—man" has been arrested after scaling one of london's tallest buildings. 56—year—old alain robert reached the top of the heron tower in bishopsgate yesterday afternoon. he's climbed more that a hundred

buildings around the world — and he doesn't use any ropes or safety equipment. police say his actions caused disruption and took them away from genuine emergencies. the mother of a 12—year—old girl with life—threatening allergies wants more people to be able to respond to anaphylactic shock. anna gillard from surrey posted a video online explaining what to do if someone has a reaction. her daughter chloe is allergic to nuts, celery and cats and dogs. the video has been shared widely on social media. if anyone ever needed to do that for chloe and i wasn't there, i wanted to make sure that i was sharing what i would be doing as a parent. her life may depend on this medication. for me, that video was worth the five minutes of my life in my pyjamas! let's take a look at the travel situation now. starting with public transport — we've just got some minor delays on the victoria line between brixton and walthamstow central. there's a severely reduced service

across the south western railway network this morning as the strike action continues. 0n the roads... traffic is starting to build into town on the a13 approaching the goresbrook interchange at dagenham. and in harringay, green lanes is running with a single alternate lane with temporary traffic lights between endymion road and manor house station — due to emergency gas mains work. now the weather with lucy martin. hello, good morning. a cold end to the week this week. we'll see the temperatures dropping off as we move through the day and a cold front sinks its way south. it will bring a bit of cloud and patchy rain through this morning. behind it, sunny spells developing. the risk of one or two showers but a noticeable dip in temperatures. so we start off with perhaps a little bit of early brightness in the south, that cold front slowly works its way southeast. some cloud, some patchy rain and drizzle. as it clears, though, we will see the temperatures dropping away. one or two showers and some sunny spells. we pick up a brisk north—westerly breeze. these are the highs for today — i expect we'll see them through the morning.

temperatures dipping into the single figures as we see the sunshine. so we go through this evening, one or two showers for a time but they should tend to ease, so becoming dry with clear skies. we are looking at a cold night — temperatures falling close to freezing in a few spots. so a widespread frost to start the day tomorrow, and then the weekend will stay cold — a mixture of sunny spells and showers. 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 charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning... is serious tooth decay in children a sign of wider neglect? we'll hear suggestions that those found with severe dental infections should be referred

"intimately involved" in the case. universal credit is causing "unacceptable ha rdship" for many of the claimants it was designed to help, according to a group of mps. the public accounts committee criticised the department for work and pensions for turning a "deaf ear" to the concerns raised about the benefit. the government said earlier this month that it would delay the rollout of the scheme, which merges six payments into one. us police investigating pipe bombs sent to high—profile critics of president trump are focusing their inquiries on the state of florida. an explosives team is reported to be examining a postal distribution centre near miami. another two suspicious packages were identified yesterday, bringing the total so far this week to 10. google has sacked 48 people, including 13 senior managers, over sexual harassment claims since 2016. the news comes after the new york times reported that one executive received $90 million when he left the company four years ago — despite google claims of sexual harassment against him were credible.

an allegation he denies. scientists say they've created a new antibiotic that could help in the fight against drug—resista nt bacteria. it's said to "trick" its way into the bacteria and then kill it from the inside. initial clinical trials have been described as promising. earlier this week, health officials warned of a rise in some drug—resista nt infections. more than 1.2 million homes in england could be at risk of coastal flooding and erosion by the 2080s, a new report has claimed. the government's climate advisers are also warning that sea levels could rise by at least a metre by the end of the century. a so—called millennial railcard is being launched in england, giving 26—to—30—year olds discounts on train fares. the scheme was originally trialled in march, with 10,000 cards selling out within hours. industry body the rail delivery group says they'll go on sale before the end of the year and will be available via a mobile app rather than as a physical card.

the duchess of sussex's wedding gown and veil have gone on display at windsor castle. visitors will be able to see the givenchy silk—cady dress close up, as well as the five metre long veil embroidered with the flora of the 53 commonwealth countries. a version of the frock coat uniform worn by prince harry is also on display. it isa it is a bit, well, his outfit is over there and that is all there is to it. and it is a mock—up of it. talking of history, arsenal perhaps on their way to equalling a place in history. 11 games on the winning strea k history. 11 games on the winning streak and if they get to 14, equalling what happened in 97 under george graham. success that has gone

under the radar. they won last night in portugal. you look like you are going to ask a question. it isa going to ask a question. it is a curse. i wonder what the new manager thinks. there is a lot of pressure for or managers, just sitting there, let me stay under the radar. you should be a football manager. that is what the arsenal manager says. do not talk about records. chelsea had a good win in europe but not so good for scottish clubs. chelsea, these days, seem a side in no mode to hang about. and, in ruben loftus—cheek, a player keen to make up for lost time. bate borisov of belarus had made the long journey to london. there was a particularly inhospitable greeting. loftus—cheek taking less than two minutes to open the scoring. his second arrived just moments later.

the subtlest of touches. for his side, the simplest of starts. even without their season's standout star, eden hazard, there was plenty to smile about. perhaps the only surprise was how long it took to score again. loftus—cheek forced to wait until the second half. his hat—trick goal, though, the best of the lot. three for him, three wins from three for chelsea in europe. arriving in lisbon, there was a sense that arsenal, too, are a side going places. still, their recently rediscovered flamboyant football had been seemingly delayed en route. it took until the second half for it to finally appear, but, even then, something was missing. aubameyang amongst the many struggling to find his way to goal. when it did arrive, it was both welcome and well—deserved. danny welbeck with the moment those fans travelled to see. functional, rather than flashy, but a trip well worth it. few expected any fireworks from celtic. indeed, this was about as bright as it got against rb leipzig. two first—half goals from the german

side coming in quick succession. brendan rodgers' plans of taking his side much further in this competition in danger of being cancelled altogether. much more to sing about for rivals rangers, although the song could and probably should have sounded much sweeter had they the goal had they got the goal their dominance deserved against spartak moscow. a point, though, keeps up their unbeaten run. their european journey, it seems, has plenty further to travel. adam wild, bbc news. kyle edmund's winning run has come to an end. the british number one claimed his first tour title in belgium last weekend. but lost yesterday in the second round of the vienna 0pen to fernando verdasco. edmund will have to win the paris masters next week to have a chance of qualifying for the end of year atp finals. caroline wozniacki has revealed she's been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.

she says she hopes to become a role model for people with the condition. she made the announcement after she was knocked out, of the wta finals by elena svitolina. the ukranian won the match in three sets, and is through to the last four. obviously it's not ideal but, you know, it's something that he can manage and something you can work with and, you know, i'm proud of myself for the season and i'm very happy to be here and say that i've done everything i could. tour de france champion geraint thomas says he expects to be team sky'sjoint leader with chris froome next year if he takes part in the race. it looks like it will be harder for the welshman to defend his title though after the organisers revealed next year's route, which has been billed as the "highest in tour history". the riders will take on a record 30 mountain passes and five summit finishes. froome is also hoping to add to his four titles. it seems a lot of ks. i wouldn't say i dislike that,

but it's certainly something to take into account. and there's also a lot of climbs that are over 2000 metres, so... generally i quite like them anyway, so, yeah, quite looking forward to that. do you have a coffee table? yes. next time you go to the beach, how about doing this? this is austin keen's cheap and cheerful way to enjoy wakeboarding. the american picked up this coffee table for the equivalent of seven pounds and look atjust how good he is on it. no surprise really as he's a world champion skimboarder. this video has had hundreds of thousands of views since he posted it on social media. he is able to ride the wave on the coffee table. he's auctioning the table to raise money for a charity. i suppose it might be easier because he has a wider area.

is it called skin boarding? no, that is more like a wake boarding, where you write the wake —— ride. he could do that almost anything. thank you. children found to have severe tooth decay should be referred to local safeguarding teams because it could be an indicator of wider neglect, according to dental experts. 26,000 children between the ages of five and nine were admitted to hospital because of dental problems last year, claire stevens, from the british society of paediatric dentistry, joins us now. good morning. the easiest way to explain this, you have seen children where you look at the teeth and from what you see, there is a suggestion as to what else is happening in

their life. as children's dentist i have children coming to see me every day, many of whom have widespread decay in primary and permanent teeth, but it is notjust about what is in the mouth. we are trained to look after the whole patient and look after the whole patient and look at the child's social history, who they came in with, how long it has taken to come and see us with decay and infection perhaps and we look at the whole picture before deciding if the family need extra support. how do you find out that information? we ask. what if it is not forthcoming? sometimes when there is neglect to a child that information is not forthcoming. which is why dentists need to be pa rt which is why dentists need to be part of a bigger system that shares information. we are trained to work with all health care professionals and school nurses and if i have a child i have concerns about, i will

talk to the gp, the school nurse, the health visitor. it is about sharing information. we know we are one small part of the jigsaw. how do you talk to the health care workers? you literally can file a report?|j you literally can file a report?” would not file a report i would pick up would not file a report i would pick up the phone and speak to that person. we have people dedicated to doing that within the hospital i work in. is that because you have more resources? it is not about resources , more resources? it is not about resources, it has got to happen. more resources? it is not about resources, it has got to happenm isa resources, it has got to happenm is a resources question, it is a time thing. i wonder how many dentists feel they are equipped in terms of training, but also in terms of resources, to make the call to say this child is being neglected and needs to be reported to social services. that is a big step and responsibility. we have had guidance for dentists since 2009 and good

resources and training to help dentists identify children who might bea dentists identify children who might be a risk and to support them to get further information. i am working in a hospital setting and i see the more severe cases, so of course a hospital setting and i see the more severe cases, so of course the trust i work in is resourced to support it. what about parents? some might feel they do not have control over what their children are drinking at school, on the way to school. some childrenjust drinking at school, on the way to school. some children just have bad teeth. they think i need to take my child to the dentist but i am scared i will be blamed and i am trying everything i can to make sure my child's teeth are good and now i will be reported to social services. that is not the message coming out of the work. the work published today looks at children with severe infection, who have had to stay in

hospital because the decayed teeth have gone on to form life—threatening infections perhaps involving the airway, and baby teeth matter and have the potential to cause harm and to parents, i would reassure them. dentists are there to support, educate and look after the child. i want the opposite, i want families coming to see me before it is too late and before their child needs admitting for infections, which is why we encourage dental checks by the first birthday because we are there to support and prevent. we come back to the issue of funding. you are able to do this in your hospital. this idea of rolling out elsewhere, is it realistic?m is totally realistic. in terms of someone is totally realistic. in terms of someone working in general dental practice they may only have one family every few months. it is not a

huge resource. we are looking at it regionally and if a dentist working down the road from me has a concern they can pick up the phone and talk to our safeguarding team. there is a network that is resourced across an area. the area you work in is fascinating. how often do you see children in crisis with their teeth, who have never had dental care previously? i see it daily. the shocking thing is there are not many children born with bad teeth. it happens but it is a small minority. dental decay is almost always preve nta ble dental decay is almost always preventable and we need to make sure children are supported by parents to perform the tasks, every day, that will help prevent disease, brushing twice a day, fluoride toothpaste, spitting out not rinsing, going to the dentist early before problems arise and if problems arise, making

sure a ccess arise and if problems arise, making sure access to ca re arise and if problems arise, making sure access to care is arise and if problems arise, making sure access to care is timely. thank you very much. sarah's at stonehenge with this morning's weather. look at that. that's the view from up look at that. that's the view from up above. it doesn't wobble in real life but it's windy on that camera. sarah is down there somewhere amongst that gorgeous, gorgeous construction. good morning. good morning. i'm here at stonehenge this morning, celebrating an important centenary. it's been 100 years since stonehenge was gifted to the public. it was given to the public by cecil and mary chubb. back in 1915, cecil went to an auction and legend has it that mary wanted him to buy a particularly nice set of dining chairs but he actually came away with stonehenge and paid £6,600 for it. since then, it has been restored and conserved and stands in its very

neat structure today. this morning it isa neat structure today. this morning it is a fairly chilly start but not as cold as it is further north across the country. we have a cold front pushing its way south, introducing much colder conditions through the course of today and over the next few days. things definitely turning much colder, the first real early taste of winter upon us and we'll see a mixture of sunshine and scattered showers over the next few days. this morning, the cold front brings more cloud up as parts of southern england and wales at first with a bit of drizzle. that should clear towards the south by the late morning and we are in the northerly flow, so much colder conditions but more sunshine. there will also be some showers. across parts of scotland, those showers will be falling as snow over the hills and mountains. rain down at lower levels and around the coast. across parts of northern england and northern ireland we'll see the mix of sunshine and scattered showers. particularly around the east coast.

further south, across england and wales, this afternoon will bring the mix of sunny spells through the midlands, down towards the south—west. a few showers around. temperatures for most will struggle to get into double figures but we may just get to get into double figures but we mayjust get into double figures. those single figure temperatures for most it will feel cold, when you add on the strength of that northerly or north—westerly wind. into this evening and tonight, we keep some showers, particularly across parts of eastern england, northern and eastern scotland and down the irish sea coasts, as well. clear skies elsewhere. it will turn quite chilly. likely to seek a widespread sharp frost with temperatures around freezing for many first thing. saturday morning will bring the cold est saturday morning will bring the coldest morning of the season so far. after that cold, frosty start, lots of sunshine. selected today, a mixture of sunshine and showers. most will be across these parts of england, scotland, northern scotland and around the irish sea coasts,

northern ireland, west wales. temperatures will struggle, single figures, around seven to 9 degrees. we may push into double figures across the south—west of england once again. that's chilly weather continues to the second half of the weekend, suffer sunday morning we have one or two showers, but fewer compared to friday and saturday. for sunday, most showers will be for eastern england, eastern scotland. central and western parts of the uk should stay dry and sunny, but again, temperatures are nothing to write home about. 0nly around seven to perhaps 10 degrees for most, a bit milder towards the far south—west. after our mild autumn so far, things are starting to turn quite a bit colder through today and on into the weekend. eventually it will turn gradually milder through next week but time to dig out the gloves and scarves. my scarf has been out for ages! isn't it lovely that we got the privilege of having that we got the privilege of having that little for us today? it's not usually lit up. it's not. it's

gorgeous. it looks quite majestic, these huge stones coming out of the darkness. a really beautiful site. absolutely stunning. we'll see you later. 6:50am. we are going to talk about credit cards. the amount people are spending on their credit cards is rising. rising and reaching a record high. good morning. we have some new data from the uk finance body who either group that represents companies who lent us money that represents companies who lent us money like banks and car providers. they've been monitoring how much we spend each month for more than a decade. last month we put more than £10 billion on credit cards — the highest since they started collecting the data. we asked some manchester shoppers about theirspending. i prefer debit cards to credit cards. i don't like the idea of spending money that i don't have and not necessarily knowing about it. with a credit card you can overspend

and you have to constantly pay it back. it's been a family thing. whatever you do, don't get credit card. i have two credit cards, one i use as a debt with about £1000, not really sure what's on it. maybe last christmas. pay standing order. i never pay just christmas. pay standing order. i never payjust the minimum because i know i'll never end up paying it off. laura suter is a personal finance analyst at the investment firm aj bell. good morning. thanks for coming in. first of all, is this more people getting hold of credit cards or is this people actually spending more on credit? it's a bit of both. we've seen on credit? it's a bit of both. we've seen quite cheap credit relative to historical terms because interest rates have been so low and we've now started to see that pick up a bit. because there was access to cheap credit we see more people get it but we've also seen people putting more money on their credit cards so there is now about £44 billion outstanding that brits have on their credit cards. before we start tutting as

people for this, it's actually been important for the economy over the last ten years that people have been spending. it's what we've been told to do. exactly. we have to be clear to do. exactly. we have to be clear to split this into two different camps. some people have been using 0% deals, spending a bit more and that debt is manageable. we also have a big group of people where prices have increased, wages haven't increased much since the financial crisis, so they are forced to use things like credit cards and other short—term loans just to get by. things like credit cards and other short-term loansjust to get by. we we re short-term loansjust to get by. we were hearing from a shop in manchester saying she tries to pay a bit more than the interest each month. that's probably a sensible way to manage that kind of debt, but lots of people just can't manage that. exactly. also we have such a strange culture in this country around money and not talking about it. it's quite easy for people to build upa it. it's quite easy for people to build up a bit of debt and not want to talk to anyone about it, not want to talk to anyone about it, not want to seek help, almost feel embarrassed and then that spirals because interest rates do completely build—up and then you completely

lose track of that money. if interest rates continue to rise, as it looks like they will, are we in for more problems? exactly. we've built up this massive amount of debt and it's been relatively cheaply... easy to service it. we are expecting interest rates to rise next year and it looks like the only way they are going is up and at that point it's going is up and at that point it's going to squeeze households for ever. is looking at the other element, it's not just ever. is looking at the other element, it's notjust credit cards. we are talking about car finance. that's been a big boom over the last couple of years. is that something people are concerned about? yes, that's become a massive bubble. the number of cars bought with some kind of islands, either hire purchase or 0%. it's dumping the bank of england have said they are worried about, that there is a big bubble happening because there is unsecured credit. it's something to watch, certainly for the future. thank you for joining us. thank you. it's been described as britain's biggest ever archaeological dig —

the excavation of 40,000 bodies buried in an old cemetery in central london. it's to clear the way for the new hs2 rail line, which will link the capital to birmingham. 0ur correspondent david sillito has been to take a look. this is euston in london, and here inside this giant tent, a small army of archaeologists are at work — because this is a site with a history. beneath the trees and grass are bodies. thousands of them. this is where london's high—speed railway station is about to be built, but this site — an old city park — used to be, around 150 years ago, a cemetery — and all the bodies are going to have to be moved. how many people are we talking about who are buried here? so the records for the entire area suggest around 60,000 people

were interned in the cemetery. of course, some have over the years already been removed, but there's still a huge number of people buried here. we're looking at probably dealing with around 40,000 individuals. that's still one of the largest post—mediaeval burial excavations ever to take place. you're excavating 40,000 plots? yes. and this huge tented site is only the beginning. where i'm standing here at the moment is going to be one of the platforms, and it's going to run 500 metres along there. and that's what gets you about this site — it is the sheer size of it. 11,000 square metres. but what will happen to all the bodies? matthew flinders — the first man to sail around australia — is buried here. so too is bill richmond, one of britain's most celebrated boxers. initially they will be taken for archaeological analysis, so laboratories. they'll be stored in a morgue — and again that's with the agreement of the church.

and then after that, everyone will be reburied in consecrated ground — and this isjust the beginning. this is a location near stoke mandeville — the site of a lost church. iron age, roman and saxon sites crisscross the whole route. 0verall, on the whole line, during the peak, we're going to have over 1,000 archaeologists excavating at over 60 sites. that sounds pretty big in archaeology terms. it's the biggest archaeological investigation ever undertaken in the uk, and probably europe. in this part of london, any development is always going to be building on history. but this one has rather more ghosts than normal. david sillito, bbc news. it's a fascinating story, isn't it? really, really. the sheer scale of thejob really, really. the sheer scale of

the job they have to do in such circumstances. and with such consideration. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. the number of thefts on the tube has risen by more than a third in the past two years — and it seems you're more at risk from thieves on the central and piccadilly lines than anywhere else on the underground. data from the british transport police show saturdays between 6 and 7pm were the most common time for pickpocketers to strike. a sky—scraper climber nicknamed the "french spider—man" has been arrested after scaling one of london's tallest buildings. 56—year—old alain robert reached the top of the heron tower in bishopsgate yesterday afternoon. he's climbed more that a hundred buildings around the world — and he doesn't use any ropes or safety equipment. police say his actions caused disruption and took them away from genuine emergencies.

the mother of a 12 year—old girl with life—threatening allergies wants more people to be able to respond to anaphylactic shock. anna gillard from surrey posted a video online explaining what to do if someone has a reaction. her daughter chloe is severely allergic to nuts, celery, cats and dogs. the video has been shared widely on social media. if anyone ever needed to do that for chloe and i wasn't there, i wanted to make sure that i was sharing what i would be doing as a parent. her life may depend on this medication. for me, that video was worth the five minutes of my life in my pyjamas! let's take a look at the travel situation now... starting with the tubes — after some earlier delays on the victoria line we've now got a good service all round. there's a severely reduced service across the south western railway network this morning as the strike action continues. 0n the roads... you can see the the traffic into town on the a13 approaching the goresbrook interchange at dagenham.

looks like there may have been an accident there, too. in harringay, green lanes is running with a single alternate lane with temporary traffic lights between endymion road and manor house station. and in tulse hill, traffic lights are not working on christchurch road at the junction with hillside road. now the weather with lucy martin. hello, good morning. a cold end to the week this week. we'll see the temperatures dropping off as we move through the day and a cold front sinks its way south. it will bring a bit of cloud and patchy rain through this morning. behind it, sunny spells developing. the risk of one or two showers but a noticeable dip in temperatures. so we start off with perhaps a little bit of early brightness in the south, that cold front slowly works its way southeast. some cloud, some patchy rain and drizzle. as it clears, though, we will see the temperatures dropping away. one or two showers and some sunny spells. we pick up a brisk north—westerly breeze. these are the highs for today — i expect we'll see them through the morning. temperatures dipping into the single figures as we see the sunshine. so we go through this evening, one or two showers for a time but they should tend to ease,

so becoming dry with clear skies. we are looking at a cold night — temperatures falling close to freezing in a few spots. so a widespread frost to start the day tomorrow, and then the weekend will stay cold — a mixture of sunny spells and showers. 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 naga and charlie. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today. retail billionaire sir philip green denies unlawful sexual or racist behaviour — he was named in parliament as the man behind legal action to stop claims being published. mps report that universal credit — the government's flagship benefit system — is causing "unacceptable hardship" for many claimants. presenter and strictly star katie piper on her pioneering

new rehabilitation centre for burns survivors like herself. i hope that it shows a life—changing situation does not have to be life—ending. credit card spending hit a 20—year high with brits now owing more than £44 billion. should we be worried? arsenal's incredible winning streak continues. this time in europe. it's now 11 victories on the trot, as danny wellbeck‘s late goal finally breaks sporting lisbon's resistance in the europa league. iamat i am at stonehenge, celebrating the centenary i am at stonehenge, celebrating the ce nte nary of i am at stonehenge, celebrating the centenary of the monument being gifted to the nation. a cold start and cold weather over the weekend. the forecast in 15 minutes. it's friday october the 26th. our top story. sir philip green, the billionaire owner of some of the biggest brands on the high street, says he "categorically and wholly" denies allegations of unlawful

sexual or racist behaviour. it comes after labour peer lord hain named him in parliament as the businessman behind an injunction to stop the claims being published. keith doyle reports. he's the retailer whose business dealings made him rich and famous. but his attempt to stay out of the headlines through a court injunction hasn't worked. the daily telegraph was prevented by the courts from naming sir philip green, who it accuses of sexual and racial harassment against staff members. but, in the house of lords, former cabinet minister peter hain used parliamentary privilege to name him. later, lord hain defended his actions. well, there's been some criticism on social media, but i've had overwhelming support, particularly from women. but another former cabinet minister questioned if this was an abuse of parliamentary privilege. it seems to me that if three senior judges of the appeal court had looked at all the evidence,

looked at what i presume was a daily telegraph argument that this was in the public interest and decided to put an injunction on it, there has to be a very good reason for a member of the house of lords, not the commons, not an elected politician with a constituency, to breach that. the bbc cannot verify the telegraph's claims, and sir philip green has denied any wrongdoing. in a statement he said... there have been renewed calls for the owner of top shop to be stripped of his knighthood. sir philip green denies the allegations against him, but the question is, what will his customers, who are mainly women, make of them? keith doyle, bbc news. universal credit is causing "unacceptable ha rdship" for many of the claimants it was designed to help, according to a group of mps. the public accounts committee criticised the department for work

and pensions for turning a "deaf ear" to the concerns raised around the rollout of the benefit. political correspondent chris mason is in westminster. this report, it is not the first time we have heard criticism of this. it really is not, not even this month with two former prime ministers in sirjohn major and gordon brown criticising it, we have 30 bishops criticising it and now this from the public accounts committee. there is a familiarity to the kind of thing this report from backbench mps is saying, saying there are problems with universal credit but they are stinging in criticism of the department for work of pensions who are responsible for the roll—out, saying they have a tin earfor the roll—out, saying they have a tin ear for criticism. this the roll—out, saying they have a tin earfor criticism. this is the chairman of the committee. they have attempted to change the roll—out but it has had money taken out of it

so it has had an impact so at least half of universal credit claimantss are getting less money than they were on the benefits of these are things the department should have thought about. these are people who if they claim to the first time would not have any food, money in the purse, having to pay rent and if they wait five weeks for money to arrive, it makes it difficult to live. it is worth remembering the extent of delays in the roll—out of universal credit. it was first trapped up in 2010 and the roll—out started in 2013 and it was supposed to be finished by last year, but it will not be universally available in the uk for more than another five yea rs. the uk for more than another five years. the report acknowledges if there need to be delays, to assure it works better, that is fair

enough, but still, real concern particularly around this business of how the government manages the transition as people come off the six benefits and go onto a single benefit. many complain about a gap when they struggled to buy food and pay rent. plenty on the committee will hope the government has answers in the budget. at 7.40 this morning we'll be speaking to the minister for employment on universal credit. a lot of you have got in touch this morning with your experiences of the new system. please keep your experiences coming through because we will try to put as many as we can to that minister. the rest of the news now. us police investigating pipe bombs sent to high—profile critics of president trump are focusing their inquiries on the state of florida. an explosives team is reported to be examining a postal distribution centre near miami. another two suspicious packages were identified yesterday, bringing the total so far this week to 10.

google has sacked 48 people, including 13 senior managers, over sexual harassment claims since 2016. the news comes after the new york times reported that company executive andy rubin received $90 million when he left four years ago — despite google claims of sexual harassment against him were credible. an allegation he denies. scientists say they've created a new antibiotic that could help in the fight against drug—resista nt bacteria. it's said to "trick" its way into the bacteria and then kill it from the inside. initial clinical trials have been described as promising. earlier this week, health officials warned of a rise in some drug—resista nt infections. children found to have severe tooth decay should be referred to local safeguarding teams because it could be a sign of wider neglect, according to dental experts. 40% of children who needed surgery

we re 40% of children who needed surgery were already known to services. i see it daily. the shocking thing is there are not many children born with bad teeth, it happens only for a small minority. dental decay is almost always preventable and we need to make sure children are supported by parents to perform the tasks every day that will help prevent disease. a new scheme aimed at supporting young people leaving the care system says it will help create 10,000 work opportunities over the next decade. the announcement comes after it was revealed almost half of 19 to 21 year olds, who have been in care, are not in education or employment. more than 50 businesses, charities and government departments have signed up to help. ashley john—ba ptiste reports. the university of winchester. it's here that the education secretary's come to meet students who have been in care and talk about a new programme aimed to help them succeed.

the care leavers covenant is about bringing people together, bringing firms together, universities — like today — government, local government, everybody. i'm actually a care leaver and we know that many looked—after children face obstacles. why are you only doing this now? you're quite right, ashley. i think it's an important landmark moment of talking about helping those young people getting into the world of work, bringing people together — firms, universities, local councils — everybody, to say, what more can we do? currently, 40% of young care leavers are not in education or training. that's compared to 13% for this age group overall. these care leavers have broken the mould to make it to university, and they welcome the new plans. it sounds great on paper. once i see it actually taking action, i think that's when i'll believe it. i think, as care leavers, we're used to being disappointed, we're used to being let down a lot of the time, we're used

to being promised things and not being given them. luckily, when i went into care, i had my social workers and my foster mum encouraging education, getting me to think about going to university. without that, i'd never have gone to uni. it's still rare for people who have been in care to make it to university or into high—earning jobs. it's this initiative that aims to break down those barriers to help more care leavers make it into higher education and into thejob market. ashleyjohn—baptiste, bbc news. the number of commuters fainting on the london underground is at alarming levels, according to the rmt union. more than 800 people have collapsed during the morning rush hour over the past two years. passengers have complained of overheating and overcrowding but transport for london says it's constantly trying to keep temperatures down. a so—called millennial railcard is being launched in england, giving 26 to 30 year olds discounts on train fares. the scheme was originally trialled

in march, with 10,000 cards selling out within hours. industry body the rail delivery group says they'll go on sale before the end of the year and will be available via a mobile app rather than as a physical card. sarah will have the weather shortly. the naming in parliament of sir philip green as the businessman behind an injunction to stop claims of sexual harassment being published has raised lots of legal issues and questions. to help us understand a little more, we can speak to legal commentator joshua rozenberg, whojoins us from central london. very good morning. let's start with the basics. we have a curious situation where a number of legal restrictions remain in place. nothing has changed, and yet the name ofan nothing has changed, and yet the name of an individual, sir philip green, is out there. can you tell us

how that is possible. mps and peers have freedom of speech in parliament, a fundamental constitutional principle. they have absolute privilege to say what they like without fear of libel and co nte m pt of like without fear of libel and contempt of court. as journalists we have qualified privilege which means we can report what they say if they do so accurately. it can be abused, parliamentary privilege, only last month, a senior legal person drew attention to members abusing parliamentary privilege to break privacy injunctions and he said it was damaging not just privacy injunctions and he said it was damaging notjust to the judiciary but to society because it damages the rule of law. in this complicated structure we have two structures beneath that. we have an injunction and the nondisclosure agreements, which are separate issues in the case. very different,

you start with the nondisclosure agreements, which are confidentiality agreements under which people who complained about the individual, who was not named by the individual, who was not named by the courts, the complainants were paid off and did a deal with independent legal advice, accepted money and is part of the deal agreed not to talk about it and we know from the court of appeal. this was a private agreement between a business person named as sir philip green and these individuals. when the daily telegraph found out, it asked for a comment and at that point, the businessman and his companies took out an injunction. all the courts did was to set up a temporary injunction, a temporary gag on us reporting any of the individuals concerned, and they gave detailed without naming names. the temporary injunction is meant to hold things until they can be a full hearing and

the courts can decide whether public interest lies. looking at the papers this morning, it has not stopped an enormous amount of coverage on this. six, eight pages in some of the papers devoted to the naming of sir philip green. we know that taking libel action against a newspaper is a high risk activity. some have held in the sense that some people who have brought claims and obtained injunctions have not been named. 0thers injunctions have not been named. others find the name emerges, sometimes it acts like a red rag to a bull. it is a matter of interest to the press but whether it is in the public interest is something we have to discuss. lord hain said in parliament he thought it was in the public interest. the courts might have decided philip green, if that was the person concerned, would be

named in the future. what we know now is the opportunity for courts to decide what is in public interest has gone because he has been named and there is no possibility of a permanent ban in the future. the issue of the nondisclosure, the principle of the idea, how does that help us with how tight those... because these, on the whole, these agreements made between a powerful person or an organisation and a less powerful person, that is normally the structure of those things. are they watertight? it seems they don't mean much. they are watertight up to a point. it's important to understand that they don't prevent the person who signed this agreement from reporting an alleged criminal offence to the police. they are limited to that extent. but they do serve a purpose. they mean that if somebody without money loses their

job or has a problem at work, that an agreement can be reached between the employee and the employer at no cost to the worker, the employee e, and even, we're told, with independent legal advice, payoff is obtained without the need to go to court and without the individuals being identified, which is something we know for at least two of these individuals is important. thank you very much for your time. joshua rosenberg taking us through some of the legal structure involved in the story involving set philip green. dawn is breaking. do you want to see how beautiful it can look? isn't that a dramatic image? looking at the stonehenge. it's stunning. sarah is that to bring us the weather from this rather stunning location. we've been able to light it up and everything. loads of facts and figures will learn about stonehenge today. good morning. what a beautiful sight it is here at stonehenge this morning. this is a

neolithic monument. its study in wiltshire for about the last 4500 years. there are about 155 stones in total. 80 of those smaller blue stones, all way from pembrokeshire in south wales. the big stones are local stones. each one weighs about the same as four african elephants. it's been gifted to the nation 100 years ago and since that 100 years we've had a programme of restoration and conservation. keeping the stones in theirsturdy and conservation. keeping the stones in their sturdy structure how we see them today. this morning, it is quite literally start here in wiltshire, but not as cold as it is further north across the country because we have a fair amount of cloud here. certainly over the next few days the theme is for the weather to turn colder for all of us. i real early taste of winter. there will even be some snow on the way for some hills and mountains in the north. this morning, we have a band of cloud with a little patchy light rain and drizzle across parts of southern england and south wales

at first. that will shift further south by late morning. we are all in the cold northerly flow. plenty of sunshine, but also some showers. this afternoon, let's concentrate on where we will see the showers. across scotland, a mixture of sunshine and showers but some will fall as snow over the hills and mountains. lower levels, they remain showers. for northern ireland and northern england, the mix of sunshine and scattered rain showers. temperatures generally allowed seven to9 temperatures generally allowed seven to 9 degrees —— around seven to 9 degrees. south england and wales, a mix of sunshine and a few showers. temperature wise, we mayjust get into double figures, to the south—west of england, but it will feel cooler when you add on the strength of the wind. the wind—chill really an issue over the next few days. the winds from the north or northwest. as we move into this evening and overnight, most of the showers inland will tend to fade, but we'll keep the showers around the east coast of england, eastern

and northern scotland and also some showers filtering down the irish sea coast for the likes of northern ireland, west wales. under those clear skies it will be a cold night. temperatures falling quite widely to near freezing, a bit colder in the countryside. a widespread frost likely, the coldest morning of the season so likely, the coldest morning of the season so far. after that cold start, saturday promises lots of sunshine but some showers especially across parts of eastern england, northern and eastern scotland, falling as snow across parts of scotland, perhaps the northern pennines could see the odd snow shower. during the afternoon, temperature will peak at around seven to 9 degrees for most and we could just see double figures in the south—west of england. feeling cool again with the breeze. into the second half of the weekend, for sunday, the winds via two north—easterly direction. there won't be as many showers but there will still be some for eastern scotland and eastern england. central and western parts of the uk should stay dry. in the sunshine,

still no heat wave. temperatures are going to be around seven to 10 degrees for most, a touch milder for the south—west of england. after the mild autumn we've seen so far, i think today at the weekend will come as something of a shock. dig out the gloves and scarves because we have a bit of winter on the way. in about half an hour here at stonehenge we'll have a look at a replica cake which looks exactly like those big rocks behind me. back to you both. with all the gaps and everything in the cake? yeah. wait untilyou with all the gaps and everything in the cake? yeah. wait until you see it, it's beautiful. all right. which one is the heel stone? oh... i'm not sure... i'll tell you why... it's the one where the sun rises right by the one where the sun rises right by the heel stone and sets by the heel stone on the shortest day of the year. absolutely. you are bringing us these lovely fact through the morning. we'll take a wider look again, just because it's too

beautiful to not see this morning. charlie, are you impressed? well, yeah, because you have dawn breaking over the horizon and this morning, what they've done is people have not been passed stonehenge, it is not normally lit up the way they have done it today. they've done it especially for us. the traffic passing by, it's very close, so everybody driving past, you get this extraordinary image but not normally lit up as we are seeing it. no, there's only one little stretch of road where you see it clearly. yeah, anne main road that passes as you can see just behind the stones. it's one of those places that people see but not as you see it now. stunning, we are looking. british bank rbs returned to profit last year, and today there's a new update on how it's doing. is it faring well? good news for ibs. -- ribs

it has reported a 10% jump in pre—tax profits for the last three months. the chief executive said the bank is doing well in a tough market and a challenging economy. they are bigging up a jump in the number of people using their app but that comes amid a raft of branch closures. iag, the company which owns british airways, has also reported a rise in profits for the same period. it's given an update on the data hack it suffered too — it now says fewer customers than it previously thought had their data accessed. 244,000 customers had their card details affected. we were talking yesterday about people not shopping on the high street, today there is bad news for the most famous of online retailers — amazon. the company made another record set of profits in the last three months but they are predicting a slowdown in sales in the run—up to christmas as low—cost rivals improve their websites. thanks very much. lots going on. thank you. she recently waltzed and foxtrotted on to our screens as one of the stars of strictly,

but away from the dance floor, burns survivor katie piper, is working to help others affected by an issue close to her heart. through her charity, the katie piper foundation, she's opening a new rehabilitation centre to help other survivors with their recovery. graham satchell has been to take a look. i received 85% burns. i was later told that i had a 1% chance of survival. so i am that 1%. danielle owes her life to the nhs. after being in a devastating fire, she had more than 200 hours of surgery. but, when she was finally discharged, she became terribly depressed. i felt isolated, alone. ..ugly, unwanted. as far as i was concerned, my life was over — i lost my life in the fire.

danielle is meeting strictly star and burn survivor katie piper. hi, how are you? this is a new rehabilitation centre set up by the charity the katie piper foundation. it's such a big thing that's affected when you're burned, isn't it? the strength. the centre will offer a range of services — physiotherapy, intensive mental health counselling, peer support. services not currently available on the nhs in this form. being a burn survivor myself and having my ownjourney, i had fantastic treatment on the nhs, but recognised a gap in the rehabilitation of a survivor. so, we've nearly put in the finishing touches. katie's charity is trying to fill that gap. burn survivors will live here on site for a month. it's hoped, in the first year, 20 patients will be treated. i hope that it shows a life—changing situation does not have to be life—ending.

so proud of you! that these kind of injuries, while temporarily devastating, don't have to destroy you. hello. nice to see you again. how are you? katie is meeting professor shokrollahi, a consultant surgeon at the whiston hospital on merseyside and the clinical lead at katie's charity. i'm just going to do a quick shot of the laser. so there we go. and it's very, very precise, because we have set that with micron precision. professor shokrollahi's laser treatment will also be offered at the centre. it had a dramatic impact on danielle. basically, my face was probably out here, all risen. the scars were so thick. no make—up will cover the lumps up, so to have that so it's now a lot smoother, again, it changed my life. it gave me a new lease of confidence. just look, i could not even get out of bed and now i'm here, talking to you about helping other

people, so just a big full circle. ijust couldn't be prouder of katie and her vision and what we're all doing here. danielle has transformed her life. she's now working with katie's rehabilitation team, offering guidance, support and hope. graham satchell, bbc news. it is hugely inspiring, seeing what they do, both with the extraordinary medical treatment that is offered there but also the psychological effect it's having been. yellow and really interesting that katie, because she's doing strictly, she's using that issue to highlight —— using that issue to highlight —— using that issue to highlight —— using that platform to highlight the issue. you can see more about the work done by katie piper's charity on our instagram and facebook pages. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news,

i'm alice salfield. the world's largest asset manager, black rock, has announced it'll keep its european headquarters in london after brexit. in a memo to staff, it says it'll move only a few roles to expanded offices in france and the netherlands. the number of thefts on the tube has risen by more than a third in the past two years — and it seems you're more at risk from thieves on the central and piccadilly lines than anywhere else on the underground. data from the british transport police show saturdays between 6pm and 7pm were the most common time for pickpocketers to strike. a sky—scraper climber nicknamed the "french spider—man" has been arrested after scaling one of london's tallest buildings. 56—year—old alain robert reached the top of the heron tower in bishopsgate yesterday afternoon. he's climbed more that a hundred buildings around the world — and he doesn't use any ropes

or safety equipment. police say his actions caused disruption and took them away from genuine emergencies. the wedding outfits of the duke and duchess of sussex go on display at windsor castle today. the exhibition showcasing the duchesses' givenchy wedding dress and veil — which features embroidered flowers of the 53 commonwealth countries — is on at windsor castle until early january next year. this is a unique opportunity to see these outfits and, of course, his royal highness' uniform, as well, worn on such a special day and actually in the surroundings where they were born here at windsor where they were worn here at windsor castle. but they'll also get to see right up close the beauty of this fantastic embroidery. let's take a look at the travel situation now. starting with the tubes — a good service on all lines at the moment. there's a severely reduced service across the south western railway network this morning as the strike action continues. elsewhere there are delays on city road into town

towards old street roundabout. that's because of the roadworks at the junction with bath street. now the weather with lucy martin. hello, good morning. a cold end to the week this week. we'll see the temperatures dropping off as we move through the day and a cold front sinks its way south. it will bring a bit of cloud and patchy rain through this morning. behind it, sunny spells developing. the risk of one or two showers but a noticeable dip in temperatures. so we start off with perhaps a little bit of early brightness in the south, that cold front slowly works its way southeast. some cloud, some patchy rain and drizzle. as it clears, though, we will see the temperatures dropping away. one or two showers and some sunny spells. we pick up a brisk north—westerly breeze. these are the highs for today — i expect we'll see them through the morning. temperatures dipping into the single figures as we see the sunshine. so we go through this evening, one or two showers for a time but they should tend to ease, so becoming dry with clear skies. we are looking at a cold night —

temperatures falling close to freezing in a few spots. so a widespread frost to start the day tomorrow, and then the weekend will stay cold — a mixture of sunny spells and showers. that's it for now — i'll be back in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to naga and charlie. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. sir philip green, the billionaire owner of some of the biggest brands on the high street, says he "categorically and wholly" denies allegations of unlawful sexual or racist behaviour. it comes after lord hain used parliamentary privilege to accuse the businessman of securing an injunction to prevent the claims being published. lord hain defended his actions saying he felt it was his duty to reveal sir philip's name after being contacted by someone "intimately involved" in the case. universal credit is causing "unacceptable ha rdship" for many of the claimants

it was designed to help, according to a group of mps. the public accounts committee criticised the department for work and pensions for turning a "deaf ear" to the concerns raised about the benefit. the government said earlier this month that it would delay the rollout of the scheme — which merges six payments into one. us police investigating pipe bombs sent to high—profile critics of president trump are focusing their inquiries on the state of florida. an explosives team is reported to be examining a postal distribution centre near miami. another two suspicious packages were identified yesterday, bringing the total so far this week to 10. google has sacked 48 people, including 13 senior managers, over sexual harassment claims since 2016. the news comes after the new york times reported that company executive andy rubin received 90 million dollars when he left four years ago. google found claims of sexual harassment against him were "credible", allegations he denies. scientists say they've

created a new antibiotic that could help in the fight against drug—resista nt bacteria. it's said to "trick" its way into the bacteria and then kill it from the inside. initial clinical trials have been described as "promising". earlier this week, health officials warned of a rise in some drug—resista nt infections. more than 1.2 million homes in england could be at risk of coastal flooding and erosion by the 2080s, a new report has claimed. the government's climate advisers are also warning that sea levels could rise by at least a metre by the end of the century, with 100,000 properties at risk of collapsing into the sea. a so—called millennial railcard is being launched in england, giving 26—to—30—year—olds discounts on train fares. the scheme was originally trialled in march, with 10,000 cards selling out within hours. industry body the rail delivery group says they'll go on sale before the end of the year and will be available via a mobile app rather than as a physical card. those are the main stories this

morning. we will be at stonehenge later. beautiful images from stonehenge. can we see it now? it reminds me of going on holiday, driving down past stonehenge. i have only seen it from the car. i have never been there. i must go. funny, your own country, you have never seen i must go. funny, your own country, you have never seen it and people come from all over the world. the facts and figures. did she know about the heel stowing ? the facts and figures. did she know about the heel stowing? people say it is based on the calendar. there is the stone called the heel stone and the sun always sets on it on the shortest day of the year and each year on the longest day of the year, the sun rises over the heel stone.

and there is the spiritual stuff. of course, the history. we do not understand. we lack a good run by a team in sport but when you talk about it, it puts a jinx on. you are talking about arsenal. everybody salutes the george graham said, 1997, they won 14 games on the trot. the unbeatables india lee 20005 trot. the unbeatables india lee 2000s but they are only three wins away from equalling the record under george graham but the manager is saying let's not talk about it. three more to go, crystal palace, blackpool and liverpool and they would equal the record. for the moment they are reflecting on getting close to the record. 11 wins on the trot. this was the latest the europa league.

late goal from danny welbeck. it saw them beat sporting lisbon, 1—0, in portugal, to retain top spot in their europa league group. the first half is not clear for us. i think the balance is for the two teams. not a lot of chances to score. the second half i think, step—by—step, i think we impose our job, we impose our good playing in the second half. it was a night to remember at stamford bridge for reuben loftus—cheek. the 22—year—old scored his first competitive hat—trick in chelsea's 3—1win over bela russian champions bate borisov. the win leaves chelsea, six points clear, at the top of their group. at the beginning of the season, i thought that he was really a very good player.

now i think the same but maybe i think also that he is mostly tailored to my football. not such a good night for celtic who were beaten 2—0 at german side rb leipzig. brendan rodgers' side are third in their group with just three points from three games and have an uphill task to qualify for the knock out stage. glasgow rivals rangers drew 0—0 against spartak moscow at ibrox. kyle edmund's winning run has come to an end. the british number one, claimed his first tour title in belgium last weekend. but lost yesterday in the second round of the vienna 0pen to fernando verdasco. edmund will have to win the paris masters next week to have a chance of qualifying for the end of year atp finals. now denmark's caroline wozniacki won herfirst tennis major earlier this year but now the australian open champion has reveleaed she's been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. she made the announcement after defeat in the season—ending wta finals in singapore, where she lost to elina svitolina

of the ukraine in three sets. but wozniacki says she wants to be a role model for people with the condition. so how will having arthritis affect the career of a professional tennis player? wozniacki is just 28 years old and she started to notice unusual signs during this year's wimbledon when she said at times she couldn't lift her arms over her head. arthritis causes pain and swelling in the joints and the nhs says there's no cure. wozniacki's been taking medication to relieve some of the symptoms. obviously, it's not ideal but, you know, it's something that he can manage and something he can work with and, you know, i'm proud of myself for the season and i'm very happy to be here and say that i've done everything i could. incredible, she won the china open this month. sometimes she cannot get out of bed because of the pain. we talk about the pain athletes go through. you will love this story.

four birdies in 11 holes this morning forjustin rose have put him within touching distance of the lead at the shanghai masters. rose has moved to six—under par through his second round, in part thanks to this lovely bunker shot. america's tony finau is on ten under par at the top of the leaderboard, with his compatriot patrick reed two shots behind. and a birdie is? if the whole is par—3, you get it in two. you are meant to do it in three, but they do it in one less. and an eagle if it is two less. condor. pterodactyl? did we make that up! the tour de france champion, garaint thomas, says he expects to be, team sky'sjoint leader with chris froome next year, if he takes part in the race. it looks like it will be

harderfor the welshman to defend his title though, after the organisers revealed next year's route, and it has been billed as the "highest in tour history". the riders will take on a record 30 mountain passes, and five summit finishes. froome is also hoping to add to his four titles. it is quite different but it is a race i am looking forward to preparing for now. it would be the dream to go for a fifth tour de france win. finally, have a look at your coffee table. turn it upside down. and look at this. this is austin keen's cheap and cheerful way to enjoy wakeboarding. he picked up this coffee table, for the equivalent of seven pounds and look at just how good he is. no surprise really as he's a world champion, skim—boarder. this video has had hundreds of thousands of views, since he posted it on social media. and as a result of all the interest, he's auctioning the table to raise money for a charity.

an incredible skill. he gets moving with the tow rope and then he is on his way. at least you have the legs to hold on to if you get into trouble. going back to the main story. it's the biggest overhaul of the benefits system since the creation of the welfare state, but according to critics universal credit is creating "unacceptable hardship" to those it's supposed to be helping. it was supposed to make things simpler, but a group of mps says the department for work and pensions is in denial over problems with its roll—out. joining us now is employment minister, alok sharma. thank you for talking to us. we can start with your reaction to what is happening and so far this month, two former prime ministers, 30 bishops and now this committee have

criticised the roll—out of universal credit. unacceptable hardship, how does that make you feel? it is your brief. good morning. when we talk about universal credit we have to look at the system it is replacing, a complicated benefits system with six benefits delivered by three agencies and when you talk to people getting these legacy benefits they recognise it is a complicated system and it does not incentivise work. cani and it does not incentivise work. can ijust and it does not incentivise work. can i just say to you the and it does not incentivise work. can ijust say to you the question is about what is happening now. it was piloted in 2013 with four roll—outs in 2016 and it is now 2018. let's talk about what is going wrong now. what is important is we support people and make sure we support people and make sure we support them into work which is what is happening. in terms of making sure people have the right amount of money and cash in their pockets, in the budget last year the chancellor

announced 1.5 billion support. that means that somebody who needs an advance, they can get 100% of the first estimated payment on day one if needed and if you are on housing benefit you get two weeks of extra cash to help you. and important, the seven—day waiting period before universal credit is activated has gone. we are making changes and it is important we continue to do that. we asked viewers to tell us their experiences of having universal credit. some examples, someone who e—mailed, a single mother trying to get universal credit. a quote from her, her life has become desperate. she eats four meals a week so her daughter can eat well and lives in co nsta nt a nxiety to daughter can eat well and lives in constant anxiety to cover rent and council tax. at one point she had

21p in her account and after visiting the council office for support. a single mum with no child support. a single mum with no child support. she is terrified and says how terrifying is it when you feel you will pass out constantly with anxiety and hunger. this is someone who is being failed because of something under your watch. of course, we want to make sure we support everyone who needs it and i would say to that individual, and i understand they may not want to identify themselves but if they want to co nta ct identify themselves but if they want to contact me directly i will see what we can do. it might be they are not aware of getting an advance. we need to support everyone. going back to the point about the system being replaced. under the legacy benefits system there are 700,000 households being underpaid 2.4 billion of money

because it is a complicated system and that is changing under universal credit. ultimately, the welfare system is there to support people when they need help and to support them into work and under universal credit for the first time you have the situation where people get one—to—one support. i talk to people working injob centres, to claimants. i was in harlow yesterday. they are brilliant and dedicated people and what they say to me is for the very first time they are doing what they came to do, to support people into work and help them progress and that is possible under universal credit because people are able to get that support. you speak to people injob people are able to get that support. you speak to people in job centres helping with claims, when was the last time you spoke to someone in the circumstances of the woman i spoke to you about, who cannot afford to eat, because they are not getting payments on time? where

there are individual cases i am happy to look into those. when was the last time you spoke to someone in that situation? i was in harlow yesterday and i talk to people in thejob yesterday and i talk to people in the job centre and hear stories of individuals in thejob the job centre and hear stories of individuals in the job centre and make an effort to speak to people because that is important. there are a lwa ys because that is important. there are always cases where perhaps we have not done as well as we should. i am happy to try to assist on those cases, but what i can tell you from talking to people working at the centre, universal credit is making a difference to individuals' lives and helping people to get on and that is what the welfare system should be about. it can make a difference to individuals but does not worry you more for those it's made life more difficult for. though you say there are —— you are happy for individuals

to co nta ct are —— you are happy for individuals to contact you, there are too many. we had 15 or so in a last hour, taking their time to write their story to us. that's the problem. you may say that some people's lives are improving, but there are some whose lives are significantly worse. as i said, the system is so we listen and act. we have put in this extra £1.5 billion of support precisely to make sure people are not killing without, that they have the cash they need on day one of making the claim and that is available in job centres up and down the country. for people coming infor down the country. for people coming in for the first time to claim, around 60% of those people are taking an advanced. what that system is, the system is working, we are supporting them and making sure they have cash in their pocket to be able to meet their costs going forward. five years ago the public accounts committee released a very similar report, criticising universal credit. today it says unacceptable hardship. do you accept this report will not have such criticism? i'm committed, the secretary of state and other ministers and the whole of

the dwp are committed to making sure the dwp are committed to making sure the system works for absolutely everyone. if you look at the improvements we've made even in the last year in terms of things like the landlord portal, where people are able to get their rent paid directly to their landlord, all of this is making a difference. childcare costs, under universal credit, 85% of childcare costs are covered. we are listening and will continue to make improvements as we go along. as i said to you, and be on the day, what we want to do is make sure we have a welfare system which of course supports people who the support. expect taxpayers, sustainable and ultimately helps people into work. if you look at the jobs market right now we are as near record levels of employment, a record levels of employment, a record low in terms of unemployment. the system is working but you are right, we need to make sure we support every single person and we need to keep doing that until every single person is absolutely supported. thank you very much for talking to us. let's ta ke

let's take you to our cameras high above stonehenge. the mighty stones there. they look magnificent this morning. they are huge, and they? they weigh tonnes. it's a dramatic scene, isn't it? we can't see any people in this shot here because you'll be aware it's cordoned off. they'd look like ants, wouldn't they? when the stones are that big. sarah is down there. if our clever little trick has paid off... there we go! there's a cake version and a real version. yeah, we go! there's a cake version and a realversion. yeah, that's we go! there's a cake version and a real version. yeah, that's right. good morning. i'm here at stonehenge celebrating the centenary of stonehenge being gifted to the nation. you can't have a party without a cake. look at this amazing cake, is replica of stonehenge. susan, tell me about this incredible replica cake. this is an amazing ca ke replica cake. this is an amazing cake that english heritage have permission for our centenary today. it's a one goal on 25 replica of the

stones. it's incredibly accurate. —— 1:25 scale. it's a spiced apple cake with blackberry cream in the middle, which is a reference to our neolithic ancestors who would probably have gathered blackberries in this landscape. its 6-foot wide and i'm told it's got 20,000 servings in this cake. it looks too good to eat. will it be eaten? definitely. we'll cut it later today and all of our visitors will have a slice. thank you, susan. it's a chilly start to the morning here. it'sjust started chilly start to the morning here. it's just started drizzling. chilly start to the morning here. it'sjust started drizzling. things are about to turn quite a bit colder across the country. the forecast over the next few days is for a bit ofa over the next few days is for a bit of a wintry feel to the weather. we have colder air ringing a mix of some sunshine but also some showers around. this morning, we have a weather front across southern parts of england and south wales, bringing quite a bit of cloud and drizzling outbreaks of rain. as the cold front sinks south, then about lunchtime we

are going to be in the clearer, colder air. northerly are going to be in the clearer, colderair. northerly winds are going to be in the clearer, colder air. northerly winds today bringing sunshine and scattered showers. this afternoon, the showers across scotland will turn quite wintry over the hills, so some snow on high ground, the mountains of scotland. at lower levels, rain showers with some sunshine in between. for northern ireland and northern england, it's also that mix of sunny spells and rain showers around and a similar picture as we move down across southern england and wales. sunshine and showers but feeling cold, so we'll struggle to hit single figures in a few spots and it will feel colder than that when you add on the effect of the winchell. temperatures only around eight or nine for most places. feeling colder where you experience the north west or northerly breeze. this evening and night, most showers and will ease and fate, is clear skies. showers continuing around the east coast of england, northern and eastern scotland and the irish sea coasts. northern ireland, west wales will have showers. temperatures down

to freezing order bits below. it will be widely the coldest night of the season so far. quite a sharp frost best thing saturday. after that cold and frosty start to saturday morning, it will be a fairly bright and sunny day. sunshine, some showers, similarto today's. most showers on saturday will be across eastern england, northern and eastern scotland. falling as snow over the hills and mountains of scotland and perhaps for the north pennines, as well. also showers across parts of northern ireland, west wales and the south—west of england. temperatures tomorrow up to seven or perhaps 9 degrees for most, we could just hit double figures across the south—west of england. that theme continues the second half of the weekend. still cold with the north or no steep gully win on sunday. —— north—easterly wind on sunday. 0ne of two showers across eastern scotland and eastern england. central and western parts of the uk should stay right to liberalise the dry on sunday and there will be ple nty of dry on sunday and there will be plenty of sunshine —— should state

largely dry. temperatures at best around 7—9 for most, could see around 7—9 for most, could see around 7—9 for most, could see around 10—12 across some southern and south—west parts of england. that's how it's looking through the weekend. we have some pretty chilly weather on the way. certainly time to dig out the scarf and gloves. more from here in stonehenge in about 15 minutes. very good, thank you very much. it's been dramatic there. i rather like the small version and the big version and beautiful dawn this morning as the sun came up over that rather mystical place. are we cutting into the cake later? we should leave it alone, it's probably bad luck.” wa nt to alone, it's probably bad luck.” want to see underneath. we've been talking about the level of credit card spending this morning. the problem is, after people who have credit cards, the intention is you have credit cards, the intention is y°u pay have credit cards, the intention is you pay it off and don't get huge interest that the company levies and once that start piling up, what are people doing next? temptation is a lwa ys people doing next? temptation is always to get another credit card to

roll on your debt. the figures out today show that 51% of customers still don't payoff their debt each month, which, as you say, is what we are all advised to do. these are figures from uk finance, you tot up the amount we borrow each month and in september, for the uk, it hit a 20 year high. that figure was £10.7 billion of new credit lending. so that both credit cards and car finance, which is another area of particular increase, growth recently. we've been speaking to people throughout the morning about how they deal with their credit cards, how effectively they manage them and one of the things that come up them and one of the things that come up is the idea you take on something, it's difficult to manage and you don't really tell anyone and maybe you try and manage it yourself and it's hard to do that. i spoke to laura from the investment firm aj bell earlier, talking about the idea of keeping debt to yourself. we have such a strange culture

in this country around money and not talking about money, so i think it's quite easy for people to build up a little bit of debt and then not want to talk to anyone about it, not want to seek help about it, almost feel a bit embarrassed about it. and then that spirals because interest rates do completely build up and then you completely lose track of that amount of money. so that idea of losing track is obviously what's happening to a lot of people. something the bank of england are concerned about. they are looking into this idea and the particular problem is interest rates are particular problem is interest rates a re low particular problem is interest rates are low at the moment. if and when they rise over the next couple of yea rs, they rise over the next couple of years, and that's when this issue could be much more of a concern. thanks very much. it's been described as britain's biggest ever archaeological dig — the excavation of 40,000 bodies buried in an old cemetery in central london. it's to clear the way for the new hs2 rail line, which will link the capital to birmingham. 0ur correspondent, david sillito has more. this is euston in london, and here inside this giant tent,

a small army of archaeologists are at work — because this is a site with a history. beneath the trees and grass are bodies. thousands of them. this is where london's high—speed railway station is about to be built, but this site — an old city park — used to be, around 150 years ago, a cemetery — and all the bodies are going to have to be moved. how many people are we talking about who are buried here? so the records for the entire area suggest around 60,000 people were interned in the cemetery. of course, some have over the years already been removed, but there's still a huge number of people buried here. we're looking at probably dealing with around 40,000 individuals. that's still one of the largest post—mediaeval burial excavations ever to take place. you're excavating 40,000 plots? yes. and this huge tented site is only the beginning.

where i'm standing here at the moment is going to be one of the platforms, and it's going to run 500 metres along there. and that's what gets you about this site — it is the sheer size of it. 11,000 square metres. but what will happen to all the bodies? matthew flinders — the first man to sail around australia — is buried here. so too is bill richmond, one of britain's most celebrated boxers. initially they will be taken for archaeological analysis, so laboratories. they'll be stored in a morgue — and again that's with the agreement of the church. and then after that, everyone will be reburied in consecrated ground — and this isjust the beginning. this is a location near stoke mandeville — the site of a lost church. iron age, roman and saxon sites crisscross the whole route. 0verall, on the whole line, during the peak, we're going to have

over 1,000 archaeologists excavating at over 60 sites. that sounds pretty big in archaeology terms. it's the biggest archaeological investigation ever undertaken in the uk, and probably europe. in this part of london, any development is always going to be building on history. but this one has rather more ghosts than normal. david sillito, bbc news. a fascinating project. isn't it just? the work has to be done but it's in such bit chilly and sensitive circumstances. it will be interesting to watch. we'll keep you up interesting to watch. we'll keep you up to date. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm alice salfield. the world's largest asset manager, black rock, has announced it'll keep its european headquarters in london after brexit. in a memo to staff, it says it'll

move only a few roles to expanded offices in france and the netherlands. the number of thefts on the tube has risen by more than a third in the past two years — and it seems you're more at risk from thieves on the central and piccadilly lines than anywhere else on the underground. data from the british transport police show saturdays between 6pm and 7pm were the most common time for pickpockets to strike. a sky—scraper climber nicknamed the "french spider—man" has been arrested after scaling one of london's tallest buildings. 56—year—old alain robert reached the top of the heron tower in bishopsgate yesterday afternoon. he's climbed more that a hundred buildings around the world — and he doesn't use any ropes or safety equipment. police say his actions caused disruption and took them away from genuine emergencies. the wedding outfits of the duke and duchess of sussex go on display at windsor castle today.

the exhibition showcasing the duchess' givenchy wedding dress and veil — which features embroidered flowers of the 53 commonwealth countries — is on at windsor castle until early january next year. this is a unique opportunity to see these outfits and, of course, his royal highness' uniform, as well, worn on such a special day and actually in the surroundings where they were worn here at windsor castle. but they'll also get to see right up close the beauty of this fantastic embroidery. let's take a look at the travel situation now. starting with the tubes — there are currently minor delays on the metropolitan line between harrow—on—the—hill and aldgate. there's a severely reduced service across the south western railway network this morning as the strike action continues. elsewhere, the a40 is very slow approaching the greenford flyover. and in harringay, green lanes is running with a single alternate lane between endymion road and manor house station. now the weather with lucy martin. hello, good morning.

a cold end to the week this week. we'll see the temperatures dropping off as we move through the day and a cold front sinks its way south. it will bring a bit of cloud and patchy rain through this morning. behind it, sunny spells developing. the risk of one or two showers but a noticeable dip in temperatures. so we start off with perhaps a little bit of early brightness in the south, that cold front slowly works its way southeast. some cloud, some patchy rain and drizzle. as it clears, though, we will see the temperatures dropping away. one or two showers and some sunny spells. we pick up a brisk north—westerly breeze. these are the highs for today — i expect we'll see them through the morning. temperatures dipping into the single figures as we see the sunshine. so we go through this evening, one or two showers for a time but they should tend to ease, so becoming dry with clear skies. we are looking at a cold night — temperatures falling close to freezing in a few spots. so a widespread frost to start the day tomorrow, and then the weekend will stay cold — a mixture of sunny spells and showers. that's it for now — i'll be back in half an hour.

now, though, it's back to naga and charlie. see you soon. good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today... retail billionaire sir philip green denies unlawful sexual or racist behaviour. he was named in parliament as the man behind legal action to stop claims being published. mps report that universal credit — the government's flagship benefit system — is causing "unacceptable hardship" for many claimants. presenter and strictly star katie piper on her pioneering new rehabilitation centre for burns survivors like herself. i hope it shows a life changing situation doesn't have to be life ending. back in the black but still paying for ppi. profits continue to rise at rbs but the bank has to set aside more

money than expected to settle payment protection insurance claims. arsenal's incredible winning streak continues, this time in europe. it's now 11 victories on the trot, as danny welbeck's late goal finally breaks sporting lisbon's resistance in the europa league. and i am at stonehenge this morning, celebrating the centenary of the rocks being donated to the public i will have the full forecast for here and across the country in about 15 minutes. it's friday october the 26th. our top story... sir philip green, the billionaire owner of some of the biggest brands on the high street, says he "categorically and wholly" denies allegations of "unlawful sexual or racist behaviour". it comes after labour peer lord hain named him in parliament, as the businessman behind an injunction to stop the claims being published. keith doyle reports. he's the retailer whose business dealings made him rich and famous. but his attempt to stay out of the headlines through a court injunction hasn't worked.

the daily telegraph was prevented by the courts from naming sir philip green, who it accuses of sexual and racial harassment against staff members. but, in the house of lords, former cabinet minister peter hain used parliamentary privilege to name him. later, lord hain defended his actions. well, there's been some criticism on social media, but i've had overwhelming support, particularly from women. but another former cabinet minister questioned if this was an abuse of parliamentary privilege. it seems to me that if three senior judges at the appeal court had looked at all the evidence, looked at what i presume was a daily telegraph argument that this was in the public interest and decided to put an injunction on it, there has to be a very good reason for a member of the house of lords, not the commons — not an elected politician with a constituency — to breach that. the bbc cannot verify the telegraph's claims, and sir philip green has denied any wrongdoing. in a statement he said...

there have been renewed calls for the owner of topshop to be stripped of his knighthood. sir philip green denies the allegations against him but the question is, what will his customers, who are mainly women, make of them. keith doyle, bbc news. universal credit is causing "unacceptable ha rdship" for many of the claimants it was designed to help, according to a group of mps. the public accounts committee criticised the department for work and pensions for turning a "deaf ear" to the concerns raised around the rollout of the benefit. 0ur political correspondent chris mason is in westminster. universal credit coming in for a lot of criticism already. it is being rolled out regardless. right at the sharp end there are many stories of

people facing genuine hardship. that's right. we have been reminded of it this morning with e—mails from viewers, people missing out on meals, and really struggling, particularly in that transitional period between coming off the six benefits and going onto the new benefits and going onto the new benefit of universal credit. the other really striking thing about the criticism in the report this morning is how unsurprising it is. we have heard it all before, not least from this public accounts committee, but also earlier this month with two former prime ministers, gordon brown and john major, critical of universal credit. as were some bishops in a jointly signed letter. what does the government have to say about it? under the legacy benefit system, there are 700,000 households right now being underpaid £2.4 billion of money because it is such a conjugated system. that is changing and the universal credit and people will be able to get that money ultimately what the welfare system

is therefore, of course it's to support people when they need help, but also to support them in to work. under universal credit, for the first effort you have the situation where people get that to one support. such has been problems with universal credit the thing has been pushed back and back again. roll out started in 2013 and was supposed to be finished last year but will not be finished last year but will not be finished last year but will not be finished for another five years. this report is not specifically criticise the delays and acknowledge the delays are worthwhile things can be got right. i think overall this a cts be got right. i think overall this acts as a political problem for the government ahead of the budget on monday when the chancellor will be on his feet in the commons on monday afternoon. there will be a hope among many, including some conservative mps, that there is money in the budget to try to make things easier. one thought for you, in the report the accusation was the government was turning a deaf ear. interesting when we spoke to the minister, we are facing them with

e—mails of personal circumstances and often the answer was that there are many people who are benefiting. yes, the argument the government makes is this whole shake—up is meant to make it easier to get into work and make work pay. it reflects that the whole design of the system from the outset was that some people would benefit and some people would be worse off. 0verall would benefit and some people would be worse off. overall it doesn't save be worse off. overall it doesn't save the government a vast amount of money, universal credit. it isn't a vast money—saving enterprise from the government, it's about changing the government, it's about changing the incentive to work, so their argument is it is worth pursuing. the curious thing at the heart of this, lots of people across the political divide think the overall idea, simplifying the welfare system and incentivising work is a good one. the criticism comes in managing the roll out and in the specific practicalities of how it is done. ultimately, it is those specific

practicalities that really matter to people when it comes to budgeting week by week. us police investigating pipe bombs sent to high—profile critics of president trump are focussing their inquiries on the state of florida. an explosives team is reported to be examining a postal distribution centre near miami. another two suspicious packages were identified yesterday, bringing the total so far this week to 10. google has sacked 48 people, including 13 senior managers, over sexual harassment claims since 2016. the news comes after the new york times reported that company executive, andy rubin, received $90 million when he left four years ago. google found claims of sexual harassment against him were "credible" — allegations he denies. more than 1.2 million homes in england could be at risk of coastal flooding and erosion by the 2080s, a new report has claimed. the government's climate advisers are also warning that sea levels could rise by at least a metre by the end of the century, with 100,000 properties at risk of collapsing into the sea. children found to have severe tooth decay should be referred to local

safeguarding teams because it could be a sign of wider neglect, according to dental experts. researchers at london's king's college hospital say around 40% of children who needed oral surgery over a two year period were already known to social services. 26,000 children between the ages of five and nine were admitted to hospital because of dental problems last year. i see it daily and the shocking thing is, you know, there isn't really many children that are born with bad teeth. that happens but it is a very small minority. dental decay is almost always preventable and what we need to do is to make sure that children are supported by their parents to perform the tasks that we know every day that will help them prevent disease. the number of commuters fainting on the london underground is at alarming levels, according to the rmt union. more than 800 people have collapsed during the morning rush hour over the past two years.

passengers have complained of overheating and overcrowding but transport for london says it's constantly trying to keep temperatures down. it's 8:10am. sarah will have the weather forecast from stonehenge today with some beautiful views. she'll keep is up—to—date. nearly half of all young people who used to be in care are either not in education or employment. now a new scheme has been launched to offer them more support. more than 50 businesses, charities and government departments are promising to provide opportunities. in a moment, we'll speak to some of the people affected, but first ashley john—ba ptiste has this report. the university of winchester. it's here that the education secretary's come to meet students who have been in care and talk about a new programme aimed to help them succeed. so the care leavers covenant is about bringing people together, bringing firms together, universities — like today — government, local government, everybody. i'm actually a care leaver and we know that many looked—after children face obstacles.

why are you only doing this now? you're quite right, ashley. i think it's an important landmark moment of talking about helping those young people getting into the world of work, bringing people together — firms, universities, local councils — everybody, to say, what more can we do? currently, 40% of young care leavers are not in education or training. that's compared to 13% for this age group overall. these care leavers have broken the mould to make it to university, and they welcome the new plans. er...it sounds great on paper. once i see it actually taking action, i think that's when i'll believe it. i think, as care leavers, we're used to being disappointed, we're used to being let down a lot of the time, we're used to being promised things and not being given them. luckily, when i went into care, i had my social workers and my foster mum encouraging education, getting me to think about going to university. without that, i'd never have gone to uni. it's still rare for people who have been in care

to make it to university or into high—earning jobs. it's this initiative that aims to break down those barriers to help more care leavers make it into higher education and into thejob market. ashleyjohn—baptiste, bbc news. joining us now are young care leaver chloe, and sarah chapman — who helped her move into the world of work. good morning to you. yours is a success story good morning to you. yours is a su ccess story now. good morning to you. yours is a success story now. butjust so people understand, the brief version of how you got to where you are now. i was of how you got to where you are now. iwas in of how you got to where you are now. i was in care, moving into care when i was in care, moving into care when i was 13. when i left college and got to 16 i started working and i have been working ever since. so i am moving my way up as fast as i can. what help did you need from sarah? life skills, how to keep calm

and stuff like that. manage money, helped with loads. my sense is you are slightly glossing over what were some probably difficult times. is that fair to say? definitely, yes. give us a sense of what that is or what it used to be, the kind of problems you were facing. you went through a lot of foster care placements. i did go through a lot of foster care placements. i was co nsta ntly of foster care placements. i was constantly moving, never in one area at the same time. you never knew if you would go back to the same place or move somewhere you would go back to the same place or move somewhere completely different. i would imagine stability is something you craved and needed to help to get back on track when you are 16 and got into work. definitely. how did you meet? we we re definitely. how did you meet? we were put together by barnardo 's, who run the scheme. it's not full on foster care, but it's not being out on the world on your own. it's a

halfway house. barnardos have a matching process and have young people referred to them and providers who they recruit and they match young people and providers together. you meet each other and see if you like each other and if you do then you get offered a room in my house. is it a risky situation, many people might think that you're taking a stranger in your home and it's on first impressions. it is, but you do get some background info from barnardos and social services so you do not go in buying. most of the time social services have people who could use the support. —— you do not go in blind. they are usually pretty on it. anyone looking at the two of you sitting here will absolutely understand the bond between you. you're smiling with each other and there is a lovely bond between you. in those early days, did you immediately get a sense of what chloe needed from someone like you? chloe needed from someone like you? chloe came to me and was already

very independent. she had moved around a lot and wasn't keen on letting people in. she needed stability and support and those life skills. she could look after herself and gotajob, skills. she could look after herself and got a job, but it's learning those things your parents teach you when you live at home and take for granted, cooking, cleaning, budgeting. she needed somebody to pa re nt budgeting. she needed somebody to parent her, but that wasn't my role. it was mentor in and support. it's such a positive outcome. you must be well aware, and maybe some of your contemporaries, are not able to found what you have found. i used to live with a girl called destiny in is lovely and brilliant but she has not been able to get what she needs and she has been passed around a lot more than i have and she is a lot younger than i am. do you think people realise that life skills are important? it is almost something, when you are being

pushed from pillar to post, you are thinking about how to get a job and not about what you need to sustain having a job and there is a difference. what would you say to people who need that kind of help but don't know where to ask for it? 0r but don't know where to ask for it? or even if they need to.” but don't know where to ask for it? or even if they need to. i think a job is a good way to go also when i got a job, job is a good way to go also when i gotajob, i job is a good way to go also when i got a job, i was spending a lot more time at work than anywhere else and if you need to get away from somewhere, get a job, if you need to get away from somewhere, getajob, especially if you need to get away from somewhere, get a job, especially in hospitality because it is ridiculous hours! i was there 12 hours or eight hours. but you enjoyed the focus? definitely, yes, i love it. and as a final thought, people watching might think, i'm a bit like sarah, i could offer something to a young person in the same way. what would you say to someone the same way. what would you say to someone who might have some misgivings? i think a lot of people think i could never do it and that

isa think i could never do it and that is a reaction i get when i talk about it but the key is, if you have about it but the key is, if you have a spare room, a bit of patience and you enjoy working with young people, go for it. no one is saying you have to do it for the rest of your life but give it a chance and see if it works because you could change a young person's life. it has been lovely avenue this morning. you'd been brilliant and thank you. 17 minutes past eight. we have been enjoying stonehenge this morning. beautiful views before sunrise. quite misty now. sarah's at stonehenge with this morning's weather. that is an impressive view. it is it is beautiful and impressive even though it has started raining. iam even though it has started raining. i am celebrating the centenary of stone heads being gifted to the nation also it has stood here for around 4500 years but a big turning

point in its history was 100 years ago when it was gifted to the nation. there has been a special piece of music commissioned which we will listen to in a moment but first the forecast. it is pretty chilly and there will bea it is pretty chilly and there will be a change in the next few days with a cold northerly flow bringing a mix of sunshine and scattered showers. things are turning colder. we have that weather front draped across southern england and south wales first clearing south quickly. by wales first clearing south quickly. by the middle of the morning we are left in that cold northerly flow a mix of sunshine and scattered showers. across scotland can be showers. across scotland can be showers will turn wintry, falling at snow on the hills. in northern ireland and northern england, we were a mix of some sunshine. further south across england and wales it is set to be of sunshine and scattered

showers. temperatures will not be doing too well, we willjust about reached double figures but things will turn colder as that northerly flow co m es will turn colder as that northerly flow comes in. it will feel colder with the winds coming from the north or north—west. this evening and overnight we keep the clear skies. there will be showers continuing around the east coast and northern scotla nd around the east coast and northern scotland and part of the irish sigthorsson a cold night with temperatures falling to freezing or a bit lower. a cold and frosty start to saturday. after that chilly start, day if sunshine and showers. those showers will be across eastern england, part of eastern and northern scotland and the irish sea with temperatures between seven and 10 degrees. into the second half of the weekend, still a north or north—easterly flow on sunday so most of the showers will be in

eastern scotland and eastern england. central and western parts of the uk should be mostly dry bad—tempered is still not great at around 7—9d —— but temperatures not too great. it looks like this fairly chilly theme is set to continue through the course of the weekend. saturday and sunday, a cold and northerly flow and the temperatures only in single figures saw a real change compared to the mild conditions we have had this autumn so conditions we have had this autumn so far. temperatures on sunday only reaching 9 degrees. it has started raining here but it is still a beautiful site. to mark the 100 years since stonehenge was gifted to the nation there are events going on and we have seen a replica cake and there has been a special piece of music that has been composed by matt rogers to celebrate the centenary. this piece of music is going to be

performed by the london symphony 0rchestra performed by the london symphony orchestra and it is called what a wonderful nature of air. music plays. studio: and interpretation of the wonderful nature of air. more from that later. i imagine that around those stones, it would sound quite eerie and a little strange! we have

details on rbs. colletta has all the details. that's right. we're talking about the bank which the government bailed out during the crisis. remember, we still own 62% of rbs. it has reported a 10% jump in pre—tax profits for the last three months. the chief executive said the bank is doing well in a tough market and a challenging economy. however, it is still paying for the pp! scandal. it has had to put aside another £200 million for more payment protection insurance claims. iag, the company which owns british airways, has also reported a small rise in profits for the same period. it's doing a bit better than analysts expected but the company says it would be doing even better if fuel costs weren't as high. the amount it pays to fill up their planes has gone up 15%. we were talking yesterday about people not shopping on the high street. today there is bad news for the most famous of online retailers, amazon. the company made another record set of profits in the last three months but they are predicting a slowdown in sales in the run—up

to christmas as low—cost rivals improve their websites. i suppose it is a case of minnows, tiny minnows snapping at the heels of the giant that is amazon. we like the little people having a say! there is only one kind of minnows, small people! fair enough, you don't get giant minnows! ignore him! let's move on! she recently waltzed and foxtrotted on to our screens as one of the stars of strictly, but away from the dance floor, burns survivor katie piper, is working to help others affected by an issue close to her heart. through her charity, the katie piper foundation, she's opening a new rehabilitation centre to help other survivors with their recovery. graham satchell has been to take a look. i received 85% burns. i was later told that i had

a 1% chance of survival. so, i am that 1%. danielle owes her life to the nhs. after being in a devastating fire, she had more than 200 hours of surgery. but, when she was finally discharged, she became terribly depressed. i felt isolated, alone, ugly, unwanted. as far as i was concerned, my life was over — i lost my life in the fire. danielle is meeting strictly star and burns survivor katie piper. hi, how are you? this is a new rehabilitation centre set up by the charity the katie piper foundation. it's such a big thing that's affected when you're burned, isn't it? the strength. the centre will offer a range of services — physiotherapy, intensive mental health counselling, peer support.

services not currently available on the nhs in this form. being a burns survivor myself and having my ownjourney, i had fantastic treatment on the nhs, but recognised a gap in the rehabilitation of a survivor. so, we've nearly put in the finishing touches. katie's charity is trying to fill that gap. burn survivors will live here on site for a month. it's hoped, in the first year, 20 patients will be treated. i hope that it shows a life—changing situation does not have to be life—ending. so proud of you! that these kind of injuries, while temporarily devastating, don't have to destroy you. hello. nice to see you again. how are you? katie is meeting professor shokrollahi, a consultant surgeon at the whiston hospital on merseyside and the clinical lead at katie's charity. i'm just going to do a quick shot of the laser. so there we go. and it's very, very precise, because we have set that

with micron precision. professor shokrollahi's laser treatment will also be offered at the centre. it had a dramatic impact on danielle. basically, my face was probably out here, all risen. the scars were so thick. no make—up will cover the lumps up, so to have that so it's now a lot smoother, again, it changed my life. it gave me a new lease of confidence. just look, i could not even get out of bed and now i'm here, talking to you about helping other people, so just a big full circle. ijust couldn't be prouder of katie and her vision and what we're all doing here. danielle has transformed her life. she's now working with katie's rehabilitation team, offering guidance, support and hope. graham satchell, bbc news. remarkable work. very inspirational.

you can see more about the work done by katie piper's charity on our instagram and facebook pages. you're watching breakfast. still to come this morning... we're live at stonehenge this morning, 100 years after the pre—historic monument was donated to the public. our weather is coming from the it is a little damp down there but dramatic nonetheless. but there is ca ke dramatic nonetheless. but there is cake as well which is cheering eve ryo ne cake as well which is cheering everyone up! we will show you that later. i understand somebody left it out in the rain. in fact, somebody did leave it out in the rain. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning.

today is the day, we have been talking about it all week but we finally get this cold arctic air moving in across the uk. so as we go into the weekend we will have these cold northerly winds. there's going to be some sunshine and there's going to be some showers. but this morning, this cold front across southern areas will still give some cloud and outbreaks of rain. it will clear away and it's behind that cold front you can see the air is coming all the way from the north and that'll blow in these showers. they'll be falling as snow over the highest ground of scotland, say about 400 metres or so. there'll be a few showers dotted around across wales, south—west england, one or two in the midlands as well. but decent sunny spells, even if you get those showers. but a much colder feeling day. those maximum temperatures of only 7—11 degrees. through tonight we will continue with this feed of showers coming into northern and then increasingly across eastern areas of england overnight tonight. again, some of those showers turning wintry over higher ground. widespread frost expected tonight. those temperatures getting down to freezing, maybe two or three degrees. so a cold started the weekend, but

for many it will be lovely start. lots of sunshine around on saturday. some showers around the west of wales, showers down the eastern side of england into the south—east. elsewhere, lots of dry weather and lots of sunshine on saturday. a crisp feeling day, but temperatures, 7—9 celsius. factor in a strong northerly wind and these are the feels—like temperatures. so, only 1—4 celsius in northern parts. 2—5 degrees further south. so a colder day on saturday. by sunday, showers confined to the far south—east of england. we have switched the wind direction slightly to a north—easterly. it's always those eastern areas at risk of a shower or two. again, lots of dry weather and lots of sunshine expected on sunday, but again, those temperatures will struggle. once again, those temperatures will feel much colder than those suggest. goodbye. this is business live from bbc news with vishala sri—pathma and victoria fritz. are the fangs becoming toothless? two of wall street's tech giants disappoint.
