6:01 am
our top story. a helicopter has crashed and burst into flames only minutes after taking off from the ground of leicester city football club. the bbc has been told that the owner of the club, vichai srivaddhanaprabh, was on board but so far there has been no official confirmation. our reporter ash mcvay has this report. the shock. helicopter hasjust crashed next to this lady. white backed the confusion. all we saw with the helicopter spiralling out of control. we just seen it hit the floor, a big ball of firejust went up. absolutely awful. some even thought they may be able to help. up. absolutely awful. some even thought they may be able to helplj try to get in there but i couldn't see anyone. a battered hour after the match, this was the scene in the car park to the rear of leicester city football club. the owner's
6:02 am
helicopter had just taken off as it does from every home game. moments later, the aircraft cleared the stadium but then fell silent and came down like a stone. leicester city has been running high recently. in 2016, they won the premier league from odds of 5000—1. their owner, vichai srivaddhanaprabha, has poured millions into the club. midgley walked up the road. a bit of a boom. —— literally. walked up the road. a bit of a boom. -- literally. the biggest thing in leicester city's history. he said last night's programme was the most difficult he has ever hosted. jamie vardy sent this tweet. leicester police said the air accident investigations branch would be leading the enquiry into the circumstances of the crash adding that accord and would remain in place while inspectors look at the
6:03 am
scene. our reporter simon clemison is outside the king power stadium in leicester this morning. a devastating day. what more do we know at this point? indeed, it was a devastating day for this club. the emergency services have been here all night as i have and as you might expect, guarding the scene which is just behind me, very close to the football stadium. the fans had gone by this point that many of them came back last night and gathered here. they are extremely anxious about this because they have a huge affection for the sonar. i was a reporter here in leicester nearly 20 yea rs reporter here in leicester nearly 20 years ago and the foxes were doing well then that they were in a very different place. they are in a different place. they are in a different place. they are in a different place now, they really are making it. these see that coming from vichai srivaddhanaprabha. he has some affection for them again. he buys them pints, he buys them
6:04 am
pies, he looks after them when they come to the football ground. a huge amount of anxiety and i have to say, the hammers, going back to london, they are to head in a good thoughts to leicester today but particularly with this news tonight that we understand that vichai was in the crash. prosecutors in the united states have charged a man with 29 offences including hate crimes and murder in connection with a mass shooting at a synagogue in pittsburgh. 11 people died after a gunman opened fire during morning service. six others were wounded. the suspect has been named as 46—year—old robert bowers. our north america correspondent gary o'donoghue reports. just a few short hours after the hate filled murder of 11 jewish worshippers, hundreds of people from this community came together to grieve and to comfort one another. some chose to speak up,
6:05 am
some to stand and remain silent, all still in shock and disbelief over the horror of what had taken place. all day the police were at the scene of the shooting meticulously gathering evidence. the sheer scale of brutality of the crime becoming clearer by the minute. later in the evening, robert bowers was indicted, with 29 separate charges laid against him. many accused him of murder motivated by religious hatred. announcer: donald j trump! donald trump was in illinois at a rally, and announced his intention to travel to pittsburgh in the coming days. he has also a ask for flags to be flown at half mast at the white house and other federal buildings for the next four days. this evil anti—semetic attack
6:06 am
is an assault on all of us. it is an assault on humanity. later, the names of those who died will be released. the fbi are expected to answer questions about how somebody was such a flagrantly anti—semitic online presence was not picked up before he could perpetrate such a crime. the authority he is a justice will be swift and severe. but for the jewish community of squirrel hill, it will take a long time to come to terms of how somebody could commit such a hate filled crime. sir philip green has again denied allegations he racially and sexually abused former employees. the businessman told the mail on sunday newspaper there had only been "some banter" which had never been offensive. he had been granted an injunction banning the publication of the allegations but the labour peer lord hain named him in parliament. sir philip says the last week has been the worst of his life. the number of hit and run crashes has risen by almost half in the past four years, the bbc has learned.
6:07 am
there were more than 28,000 cases last year in england and wales and road safety campaigners are calling for longer prison sentences. john maguire reports. his family described him as a gentle giant that alfie o'keefe hedges was just 60 —— 16 years old when he was knocked off his mopeds they are drunk driver —— by a drunk driver. they didn't even go out and check, they just ran. they just they didn't even go out and check, theyjust ran. theyjust ran and left him there to die. nine days after the collision, he died in hospital. the driver pleaded guilty to careless driving and was sentenced to 12 months in prison. dangerous driving is what he should have been charged with that he should have got a lot longer sentence but he didn't. i think it would have made a bit of difference,
6:08 am
obviously not my heartache because that's never going to go away. but i would have felt something was, that justice was done, something was done for my son, for him, having his life taken like that. 27 of the 44 police forces in england and wales responded to a freedom of information request from the bbc. the figures show the number of times a driver or riderfailed to the figures show the number of times a driver or rider failed to stop after a collision rose from just over 19,239 five years ago to around 28,000 lusty. that is an increase of 46%. 28,000 lusty. that is an increase of a6%. -- 28,000 lusty. that is an increase of 46%. —— last year. the total number of crashes has stayed broadly similarduring of crashes has stayed broadly similar during the same time. road safety charity said there needs to bea safety charity said there needs to be a policy. last year, life sentences were announced to be introduced for those who caused death by dangerous driving and said
6:09 am
the government is committed to make sure the course have sufficient powers to deal with driving offences. fillip haven't has been announced that tax for motorways being available. —— fillip haven't. it is between 2020 and 2025. —— fillip phillip hammond. the duke and duchess of sussex have arrived in new zealand which is the last stop on their 16—day tour. harry and meghan will visit wellington and auckland over the next four days, where they will lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier. the couple, who are expecting their first child, have already visited australia, fiji and tonga on their first official tour. she might be the oldest person
6:10 am
in the world butjulia flores hasn't tired of blowing out her birthday candles just yet. the 118—year—old celebrated her birthday with live music, cake and herfavourite pasta dish. ms flores is from bolivia and was thrown a party in her honour at city hall where she was given a certificate recognising her long life. her family is hoping she will now secure her place in the guinness book of world records. more now on our top story — that helicopter crash at leicester city football club. the aircraft belonged to the club's owner and came down about an hour after the game against west ham last night. we're joined by matt davis, from the foxes trust,
6:11 am
which is a leicester city supporters' group. no official confirmation yet but a source has told the bbc vichai srivaddhanaprabh, was on board — this is shocking isn't it 7 devastating is not the word. i woke up devastating is not the word. i woke up this morning and thought it had been a nightmare. ijust can't believe what's happened. give me some sense of how important vichai srivaddhanaprabha is to the club. well, the investment that they've put into the club has just been phenomenal. we are in the lead because of them. the amount of money that put into the club but also the things that done with the community, the locals, the fans, the free pint on their birthday and the pie at christmas. it's been well publicised
6:12 am
that they are just absolutely nice, humble people. it just that they are just absolutely nice, humble people. itjust such a tragedy. that's the big difference, isn't it? from so many other clubs where people from deep rockets from abroad have come in and quite often haven't struck up that rapport with fans. —— deep pockets. quite often aren't seen at matches. this time, someone aren't seen at matches. this time, someone who was aren't seen at matches. this time, someone who was so aren't seen at matches. this time, someone who was so close to the fans, not just the financial investment but the connection he had with them. absolutely. you can see that every year when they walk around the kitchen do them up of honour. —— walk around the pitch and do their lap of honour. they are so connected and the community spirit they have embedded here is just been wonderful. you guys as fans were very used to the helicopter coming and going? that was normalfor home games? absolutely, every game you used to see it. it's almost like a
6:13 am
ritual, you could time yourself by it. i used to watch it fly over my house and go to the gay myself and used to watch it take off as well just as i was getting to my car to actually go back home as well. you could almost time yourself by at it was so could almost time yourself by at it was so regular and frequent occurrence, nothing strange here in leicester city. will you at the game last night? -- were you. yes, i was, i saw the helicopter are right and went home and tuned in to all the seats, the social media feeds, and the bbc, and learnt the potential tragic news. we don't know the exact details yet, obviously, but it was horrendous. tell you dott tell me about the conversations you have been having with fans. —— tell me about the conversations. give us a sense of it. the conversations you have been having. it's been really
6:14 am
mixed. i've had a lot of people, local friends, saying are you 0k? mixed. i've had a lot of people, localfriends, saying are you ok? if such and such 0k? do we know who is involved? equally, such and such 0k? do we know who is involved ? equally, friends such and such 0k? do we know who is involved? equally, friends from south africa, and ex— champion here from south africa, he sent information saying you can take the lad out of leicester that you can't ta ke lad out of leicester that you can't take the most out of the mud and ends like that. itjust sums up, it isa ends like that. itjust sums up, it is a worldwide community now and eve ryo ne is a worldwide community now and everyone is hurting really bad. such a difficult morning. we really appreciate you getting up and talking to us. a long—standing leicester city fan reflecting on that news, and we will let you know if we learn anything else. here is darren bett with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. we have another cold day to come today. we have a patchy frost this morning with the lowest
6:15 am
temperatures in scotland. today will bea temperatures in scotland. today will be a mixture of sunshine and some showers. showers may be in slightly different places compared with yesterday. yesterday we had went straight from the arctic. still cold winter coming in from the north sea so winter coming in from the north sea so most of the showers will be for the eastern side of the uk. this is what we have seen over the past few hours, mostly rain at this time across eastern scotland and eastern england and around the wash, east anglia and the south—east we are seeing thickening cloud. this is where we see some of the heaviest showers over the next few hours, and they will run their way towards the channel islands. scattered showers in the eastern side of england and eastern scotland, maybe getting as far as the midlands but for many western areas of the uk it will be dry with a fair bit of sunshine around as well. will still be quite cold, temperatures a degree or two higher than they were yesterday, around eight to 10 celsius is quite likely. those temperatures will fall away likely. those temperatures will fall r likely. those temperatures will fall away very quickly this evening. we will see the back of the showers inland but we will always keep a few running into these north sea coasts
6:16 am
and through the in the channel as well. likely to find a bit of cloud coming into northern ireland. this is the frost which is going to develop more widely. it will be a cold night tonight. temperatures coming down to —3 or so, so for many of us are really frosty start of the morning and a cold start. but it should be a decent day for the most pa rt should be a decent day for the most part on monday. this area of cloud and rain out to the west, a few showers coming in off the north sea, but most places on monday will have a dry day with some lengthy spells of sunshine. the winds for many of us of sunshine. the winds for many of us will be light as well. those temperatures again up to around eight to 10 celsius. out to monday, we look at this deep area of low pressure, a storm across europe bringing a lot of snow across the alps. it is likely to bring some rain, wind picking up on rain driving in across the eastern side of the uk. some uncertainty about that but the threat of some heavy
6:17 am
rain as we run into tuesday. then around the middle part of the week we should see the weather improving and it should turn a little bit milder as well. there will be some spells of sunshine, one or two showers, but we end the week that some rain and some gales. -- with some rain and some gales. -- with some rain. people in pittsburgh have been speaking about their shock after a gunman killed 11 people and wounded six others in a mass shooting at a synagogue in the city. prosecutors have charged a man with 29 offences including hate crimes and murder. joining us now is jared wickerham from local newspaper the pittsburgh city paper. good morning, thank you forjoining us. good morning, thank you forjoining us. how soon after the attack did you get that? i'm in a neighbouring neighbourhood, i'm essentially two miles over. so i got therejust as he was surrendering, essentially, probably about 45 minutes, 50 minutes after the first call. and
6:18 am
can you give us a minutes after the first call. and can you give us a sense minutes after the first call. and can you give us a sense of what was going on there at the time? how are people reacting? there were not as many people out on the streets as i probably would have anticipated. u nfortu nately probably would have anticipated. unfortunately this is the first mass casualty event i have covered and normally there are a lot of people out, but there were former rabbis, there were bishops, a lot of people from the religious community out essentially just there for one another. and when did you realise the extent of how bad it was, and how many people lost their lives? well, i turned on the police scanner when i got up this morning. a guy on our advertising team, justin, lives nearby and had tweeted something initially so when i first saw that i
6:19 am
turned on the police scanner and started hearing everything which came through. it was immediately clear it was not a good situation as they were moving room to room and describing how many victims. this must have shocked so many people in this community. can you give us a sense of what it is like, what the neighbourhood is like? squirrel hill is historicallyjewish. neighbourhood is like? squirrel hill is historically jewish. it neighbourhood is like? squirrel hill is historicallyjewish. it is probably the most diverse neighbourhood in pittsburgh, aside from being largely jewish neighbourhood in pittsburgh, aside from being largelyjewish there is also a large asian population, about 1596. also a large asian population, about 15%. you have the university of pittsburgh and carnegie mellon university, so there are a lot of couege university, so there are a lot of college students. it is a fairly wealthy neighbourhood, and, you know, pittsburgh is a fairly large city, but it has a very smalltown feel to it. so it is... you know,
6:20 am
everybody knows everybody in pittsburgh, so i think everybody really feels this on another level. everyone is connected to this somehow. and i understand a lot of those people, including you, were at that vigil last night. correct, yes. they had a vigil in squirrel hill. they had a vigil in squirrel hill. they were supposed to put it in a presbyterian church but there were so presbyterian church but there were so many people but they ended up blocking off an intersection in the neighbourhood, and it was right across the street from the jewish community centre. and i would say they were probably... they could easily have been 1000 people are, and, you know, it was as much about love and feeling as it was, you know... there were chants of the vote, vote, vote, coming from high school students. so they very much i
6:21 am
well informed on these mid—term elections coming up, and what that could do for the country. elections coming up, and what that could do for the countrylj elections coming up, and what that could do for the country. i know it must be a really difficult time for you at the moment, so thank you for speaking with us this morning. we appreciate it. we are back at 6:30am with the headlines. now on breakfast, it's time for the film review. hello there and welcome to the film review here on bbc news. and taking us through this week's cinema releases, we've got jason solomons. jason, what have you got for us this week? yes, ben. the great pretender freddie mercury brings glam rock to opera, to create bohemian rhapsody — a costumed gallop through the highs and lows of queen.
6:22 am
we follow the anguished face of one teenage girl as she experiences a dreadful massacre on utoya on 22july in norway. and we have a rebirth of a cartoonist played byjoaquin phoenix and a sobering yet funny true—life memoir called don't worry, he won't get far on foot. right, let's start with bohemian rhapsody. i'm sure lots of people are going to go just for the music. but how is it, in your view, as a movie? absolutely, i mean, it is a run through queen's greatest hits in a sort of karaoke dress—up fashion. a very unknown actor called rami malek plays freddie mercury and he's very good, i have to say, as impersonating freddie mercury. and even deepening the role so he gets under his skin, like a little costumed action man in all his little outfits as he progresses, up to even the moustache. the film itself isn't a biopic of freddie mercury, that many people were hoping for it. it is a biopic of the band, and how they got to their hits, and how they used to in studio with their big hair —
6:23 am
brian may and roger taylor and john deacon, ‘deaks' as they call him — and how they used to argue, and all their little tiffs got turned into the famous riffs that we know. stamp to this beat. come on. now i want you to clap on the third beat. what's going on? you'd know if you were on time. i want to give the audience a song that they can perform. so what can they do? stamping. imagine thousands of people doing this in unison. huh? what's the lyric? # we will, we will rock you!
6:24 am
of course, thousands of people did do that, hundreds of thousands. they're doing it now. maybe millions. but none the less, critics have sort of said it's a bit of a sanitised version of queen. what do you make of that? it is, i mean, it was produced by brian may and roger taylor, in a way. so they definitely had a say, and they wanted to make sure that everyone knew that brian may wrote we will rock you and john deacon came up with the riffs for another one bites the dust. so it is about the kind of collective. and it takes a fairly linear romp through how they met at university and then how freddie joined the band and how he charged his name from farrokh bulsara to freddie mercury. and then from killer queen on top of the pops to we will rock you, all the way to live aid. that's when it climaxes, in 1985, that famous show of all shows went down. most people agree queen stole the show of all shows, and freddie mercury was fantastic that day. the film climaxes — no spoilers here —
6:25 am
in a sort of step—by—step shot—for—shot recreation of that gig, which is quite extraordinary. so the film has its high points, and it has its low points, when they argue, but it doesn't quite go into the real wrestling match that freddie mercury clearly had with his sexuality. i mean, when freddie mercury died of aids in 1991, the world was shocked. it was like, "freddie mercury's gay? !" you watch this and you think, well, how did he get away with it? that's the real story, and that's not quite what's gone into. the band seems to have tutted at freddie's excesses and his debauchery, and go home for their cup of tea with their wives. and it's got a slightly moralising tone. that said, it's there so that you can take your kids and your family, introduce them to the hits of queen, go and buy their best—selling hits album called volumes 1 and 2, and kind of stomp your way through them from i want to break free to the great pretender to don't stop me now. i mean, everything freddie sang, he meant, and he was doing in real life too. all right. let's talk about the next film — utoya: july 22. and this was the absolutely horrific massacre on utoya island back in 2011.
6:26 am
i think anybody who remembers that — in a way, you wonder why you'd want to see a film about it, because it was so horrific. that's right. i think you're absolutely right there, ben. and they are notjust one film, there are two films out about this. paul greengrass did a film called july 22, which is currently out, it is on netflix. greengrass is normally good at these documentary style recreations, like he did united 93, just on the plane that hit the towers on 9/11. he did sort of a multi—stranded take on utoya, focusing on anders breivik, the right—wing gunman who perpetrated massacre and all the way to his trial. this film, which is made by a norwegian called erik poppe, is just on the island, just on the face of one girl, kaja, who is a sort of quite well—respected member of the young labour party. she wants to help everybody, and we are with her as this massacre unfolds. now, in this version, we don't see breivik at all, we just hear the boom of his gunfire and see the people running from him. it's a real kind of distillation of what it must‘ve been like to be on that island, not knowing
6:27 am
what was going on, the confusion. it's almost done in one single, breathless take. i have to say, i was sitting near the front of the cinema, right at the front, and after about five minutes, i had to move to be back of the theatre to get some distance and perspective. it was too overwhelming. i was too — motion sickness, i was too shaken by it. i had to say that even with that distance, it was still very harrowing experience. but it did make me understand what it must‘ve been like to be caught in that situation. i don't understand the mind of the man who perpetrated it at all. and that sort of leaves me wanting a bit more from it. but it is, as a piece of film making, a rather breathtaking experiment if you like. but whether this is the right topic to be experimenting with, it left a slightly bitter taste in my mouth. yes, it sounds like a hard watch. our third film is don't worry, he won't get far on foot. not the snappiest of titles, but tell us what that's about. well, actually, the title comes from a joke. because it's aboutjoaquin phoenix, who is a cartoonist, sort of in the gary larson style, sort of new yorker, that sort of cartoonist. and he plays an alcoholic
6:28 am
called john callahan, who is so drunk one night, he gets into the car with jack black — a man played byjack black — and they have a car accident and he's left paraplegic. so the film is about him recovering from his injuries, and also recovering from his alcoholism and discovering his gift as a cartoonist, and giving him a black kind of look of humour at the world. he comes under the spell of a very charismatic sponsor, they called them in rehab, played byjonah hill, called donnie. phone ringing. hello. hey, is this donnie? yeah, who's this? hey, donnie, this isjohn callahan. i'm the neon cripple from outer space. oh, the man with the tangerine hair? well, i always thought of my hair as electric orange. but that's yeah, that me. look, i got your number off the board. i'm calling because i need a sponsor. i do have a lot of piglets at the moment. what are piglets?
6:29 am
i need a sponsor. my sponsees are piglets. laughter. that's funny. it's directed by gus van sant. the role of the originally intended for robin williams, but walking phoenix does very well with that, as does jonah hill. they're both very good together. the film is a mix of sentimentalism and funny and dark humour, and very serious about rehab and alcoholism, as well. it's a strange mix, but sometimes it really works. and it's quite funny when you read the acerbic cartoons byjohn callahan. so a fitting monument to him, if you're aware of his work. ok, best out this week? i'm going to have to say that the best out, everyone is going to see, it's top of the box office, it's still a star is born. we've got a freddie mercury sort of biopic about the music industry. this one is really about the music industry. the music scenes, i think, are particularly well done. bradley cooper directing and lady gaga performing. i think terrifically, finding her voice in a star is born. maybe the sexual politics are a bit odd, about a man who can't really survive because the woman's doing better than him. but, you know, maybe
6:30 am
he should get over it. that's what people are talking about, and it's what i like about this movie. it's getting people polarised, it's getting people talking, and it's getting people into the cinemas, because it's really a good old—fashioned hollywood melodrama. yeah, i loved it, i have to say. a little bit long, perhaps, and the first half felt sort of better than the second half. they're all a bit long, ben, to be honest with you. well, what about best dvd? dvds, you can always spin through them if they're too long, but what's the best dvd? don't do this one or you might miss a star, because it's ocean's eight. just out what has got it all—star cast — cate blanchett, rihanna. .. you never thought you'd see those two together! helena bonham carter, sandra bullock and anne hathaway. it's about the women who join together to perform a heist at the very fashionable met gala, the heist of a very valuable necklace. and the double—cross. i thought this was a really enjoyable, good old—fashioned sort of caper fun from hollywood, but with a female twist because of the female cast, i think they were all very good. it's very slick and it's often very funny as well. and it really shouldn't be seen as anything more than that. somebody said, "it wasn't very, it was a very dangerous,
6:31 am
there wasn't much jeopardy." it's a lot of costumes, a lot of good outfits, and a lot of laughs. yeah. all right, jason. thank you so much for being with us this week. thank you. and that is it for this week, though. thank you so much for watching and goodbye from us. hello, this is breakfast with chris mason and tina daheley. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. a helicopter has crashed and burst into flames only minutes after taking off from the grounds of leicester city football club. the bbc has been told that the owner of the club, vichai srivaddhanaprabh, was on board but so far there has been no official confirmation. it is not known how many other people were on board the helicopter. well, you know, the investment he has made to the club has been
6:32 am
phenomenal. the amount they have put into the club but it's notjust that, if the things they have done with the community, the things they have done with the locals, the hospitals, the fans, the free pint on their birth day, the pie at christmas. the well—publicised. but there just absolutely nice, humble people. —— they‘ re. there just absolutely nice, humble people. —— they're. it'sjust such there just absolutely nice, humble people. —— they're. it's just such a tragedy. prosecutors in the united states have charged a man with 29 offences — including hate crimes and murder — in connection with a mass shooting at a synagogue in pittsburgh. 11 people died after a gunman opened fire, killing eleven people during morning service. six others were wounded. the suspect has been named as 46—year—old robert bowers. president trump said it was a "wicked act of mass murder" and said he would be visiting the city. sir philip green has again denied allegations he racially and sexually abused former employees. the businessman told the mail on sunday newspaper there had only been "some banter" which had never been offensive. he had been granted an injunction banning the publication of the allegations but the labour peer lord hain named him in parliament. sir philip says the last week has been the worst of his life. the number of hit and run crashes
6:33 am
has risen by almost half in the past four years, the bbc has learned. there were more than 28,000 cases last year in england and wales and road safety campaigners are calling for longer prison sentences. last year the ministry ofjustice announced life sentences will be introduced for those who cause death by dangerous driving. the duke and duchess of sussex have arrived in new zealand which is the last stop on their 16—day tour. harry and meghan will visit wellington and auckland over the next four days, where they will lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier. the couple, who are expecting their first child, have already visited australia, fiji and tonga on their first official tour. it's time to get some sport with holly. a dark time for leicester? it was such a desperately sad day.
6:34 am
the world of football had already been expressing their concern and sympathy behind you, for this man, glenn hoddle. he works as a tv pundit and currently that he was known as a great of his generation. he took ill yesterday and i'm happy to say that he is said to be responding well to specialist treatment after being taken to hospital. he was with the broadcaster bt sport when he collapsed — they cancelled their saturday afternoon programme that hoddle was due to appear on. a spokesperson said his condition is serious, but he is recieving specialist treatment and his family are with him. hoddle is considered one of the best players of his generation winning 53 caps for england before turning to management. it was a schoolboy at tottenham when i was there and he was the player, he was the star player that we all
6:35 am
looked up to and could never get near and looked up to and could never get nearandi looked up to and could never get nearand i of looked up to and could never get near and i of course worked with him when he was manager, worked under him when he was manager, as one of his coaches. certainly my thoughts are with him and my prayers are with him but he has a strong character. i'm sure that he will battle through it. there's been a lot of support for him on social media — gary lineker tweeted "hugely worrying news that glenn hoddle collapsed at the bt studios. thoughts are with him and his family. "come on, glenn". from spurs, his former club, "everybody at the club sends their best wishes to @glennhoddle for a full and speedy recovery". and from the england camp — "get well soon, @glennhoddle — we're all behind you" liverpool are top of the premier league until monday night at least. they beat cardiff 4—1 at anfield — mo salah with a man of the match performance, opening the scoring, setting up xherdan shaqiri's first goal since joining in the summer and sadio mane's second finishing things off. that result now matches liverpool's best ever start to a premier league season. today, it was the right game because

it work us up. it gave us space so then we could finish the game off and so i'm fine. have you got a clear week, on top of the league was to mark for 24—hour is, at least. for my whole life i've wanted to be top of the league. the 26 points are really good. how fulham would love 2a hours at the top of the table. they slipped to their fourth defeat in a row — beaten 3—0 by bournmouth. striker callum wilson with a couple of the goals. fulham are now the only side in the premier league to have conceeded in every league game this season. they're not at the bottom of the table though, that's huddersfield. they lost 3—0 to watford. this was the second goal of the match, scored
6:37 am
by gerard deulofeu. it means david wagner's side are still without a win this season, and have only won one of their last 20 premier league matches. get ready for a horrible miss. this is hamilton's james keatings in the scottish premiership, that would have been a winner for his side over kilmarnock. instead, it finished 1—all — enough to move kilmarnock up to second in the league. elsewhere stjohnstone beat st mirren 2—nil. will today be the day that lewis hamilton etches his name into the formula one history books? he's on the verge of a fifth world championship, and will start today's mexican grand prix from third on the grid — knowing that he only needs to finish seventh to guarantee the championship. joe lynskey reports. mexico's grand prix circuit used to
6:38 am
bea mexico's grand prix circuit used to be a baseball stadium. this is where lewis hamilton makes his championship pitch. he will do it from third on the starting grid after a qualifying session where red bull were energised. for a while max verstappen looks set to become the youngest driver to take pole position in history. he was stopped by his teammate daniel riccardo who bettered the lap when his last try. hamilton will be poised just behind them. by his standards, not ideal but this weekend, he doesn't need to be. it depends how we get awake but the race is a nice place to start. —— get away. naturally i will be trying to gain a position but of course i'm aware of the bulls ahead. what daniel riccardo celebrated with the outcome of his race, it is of little comic —— of little consequence to hamilton. the only man who can stop him now is the sebastian vettel who starts from fourth on the grid today. he is 70 points behind in the standings. even
6:39 am
if sebastian vettel wins today, hamilton only needs to finish seventh to steal the title. he has a ready become britain's most successful driver overtaking sir jackie stewart. a fifth championship today would put lewis hamilton alongside and i an icon. —— an icon. in1957, he alongside and i an icon. —— an icon. in 1957, he won his first title, a record that would stand for four decades. only michael schumacher is left out in front. the britain must overta ke left out in front. the britain must overtake twice at least to take his winning flourish in mexico but changing the order in his nature on the track and in the record books. england comfortably won the only t20 match they're playing on their tour of sri lanka. england batted first, with jason roy taking the initiative, scoring 69 as england made 187 for 8. joe denly then took centre stage with the ball, taking four wickets in his first england match for eight years. the tourists won by 30 runs and the three match test series starts a week on tuesday. how about this for a debut try.
6:40 am
this is 22—year—old oliver gildart‘s stunning solo effort for england against new zealand in the first of a three match series. it won the match for england too — 18—16 the final score. and just before i finish, want to see a contender for the worst own goal of the season? the unfortunate man is derby's jayden bogle, who got it all wrong. derby were about to go top of the championship before bogle knocks it past his own keeper with just five minutes to play — to put middleborough top instead. what you couldn't see with frank lampard what you couldn't see with frank lampa rd with his what you couldn't see with frank lampard with his head in his hands,

just cringing. that would have been a good finish at the other end. it's good for the other ten, though. they're going to celebrate. that's the positive. i just they're going to celebrate. that's the positive. ijust thought i would get that in there at the end. a 60th birthday is a big milestone and when shirley thompson hit it, she decided to set herself a challenge. she's aiming to row solo and unsupported across the atlantic ocean. if she succeeds, she'll be the oldest woman ever to cross any ocean solo — and given that she learned how to row and swim just months ago it really will be an achievement. hugh schofield joined her for her first training session at sea. dawn over the bay and an ulster woman is already out and at the all is. just a a few weeks before,
6:42 am
shirley thompson needs all the training she can get. —— the oars. why on earth is a 60—year—old woman about to take on 3000 miles of unforgiving ocean? and 60 years old and i'm going for two records. one is the oldest woman ever to row any ocean solo and also the first irishwoman. you are not of water woman, though, this is not your natural medium? i hate getting my head and wet and i didn't swim up until about six weeks ago. i wanted a challenge that was really, really tough for me. so this is, it doesn't get any tougher than this. at sea, she will need to get out of the boat to clean the whole, for example. for a new swimmer, that will be a challenge. what you are seeing here is the first time that shelley has ever been out of her depth. overseeing his cloak —— coach niall bates. he says were all her
6:43 am
inexperience, she has what it takes. she is doing things in a very short space of time in terms of the learning curve. can she do it? absolutely. that's the way she is, she will do this, she will be ready. there is no knocking herfrom that and that is the attitude that will get harry cross. back in the marina, the boat is being kitted out with all the safety equipment needed for more than 100 days at sea. friends who drop by finds the whole and venture baffling. many times i have said to her, nobody will mind if you pull out of it. just say, i'm sick, i'm not feeling up to it. she said, no, i'm doing it. surely if a superfit extreme sportswoman. on land. at sea, it is a new world. —— shirley thompson. here is the rice -- risk shirley thompson. here is the rice —— risk of storms, ships, wales, technical breakdowns. —— risk of storms, ships, wales, technical breakdownslj —— risk of storms, ships, wales, technical breakdowns. i am doing this because i want to any of my

6:45 am
using the word snow yesterday, i hate to use the word winter, but we are heading in this direction. hate to use the word winter, but we are heading in this directionm hate to use the word winter, but we are heading in this direction. it is are heading in this direction. it is a coincidence that we have this cold snap of weather when the clocks have changed. most of the showers will be rain today and a mixture of sunshine and showers. the showers probably in different places today. the wind direction has changed, yesterday it was coming from the arctic and today this coming from the north sea, that is where the showers will be fed in from as well, and you can see on the radar picture most of those showers falling as rain and they are tending to be down the eastern side of the uk. a cluster of heavier and more frequent showers across and can share, east anglia and the south—east of england for the next few hours, together with some thick cloud. those will continue through the south—east corner and the channel islands, otherwise sunny spells and showers continuing, in the eastern areas, and further west it will be dry with a lot of
6:46 am
sunshine around as well. the winds will be a lot lighter than they were yesterday for scotla nd will be a lot lighter than they were yesterday for scotland and northern ireland. the strongest winds across the south and south—east. temperatures may get up to ten or 11 degrees but colder in the wind with sunshine in the north—west and lighter winds. the day should not feel too bad. those temperatures will fall away very quickly during the evening. i think we will keep some showers going, mind you, around these eastern coasts of scotland and particularly eastern parts of england. more cloud coming into the western isles later. ahead of that, with clear skies and light winds, a lot more blue on the chart. so a more widespread frost and temperatures could be down to around minus three degrees, maybe “i! in rural areas. a cold and frosty start the many areas early on monday morning. monday looks like being a quiet start to the week. we will see that cloud but no rain coming into the far north—west. a few showers wandering in the north sea, for most of us the winds will be quite light,
6:47 am
it will be dry with some lengthy spells of sunshine. still cold after that frosty start, temperatures very similarto that frosty start, temperatures very similar to those of today, so nine to 11 degrees or so. as we move ahead into tuesday, things get interesting and things potentially could change. there is some uncertainty about this deep area of low pressure but it looks like it should run up the eastern side of the uk, ringing with it some wet and windy weather. once that moves out of the way, the middle part of next week should be milder, but we and the week with some gales and rain.|j worry when we talk about the weather getting interesting. always interesting! it covers all bases, evenif interesting! it covers all bases, even if you get it wrong, not that you well. of course not! -- not that you well. of course not! -- not that you will. now on breakfast, it's time for click. applause this robot has certainly pulled in a big audience. now, as you've probably guessed, those were purely preprogrammed moves, and like many robots that we've seen,
6:48 am
this is a self—balancing robot, which means...it does pretty well at staying upright. but one day, this robot may be taught to work autonomously. toyota is looking at ways to train machines using human operators whose movements are synchronised to theirs. the operator also wears a virtual reality headset to show them the robot's perspective. it's really strange because i know there is someone on the other side of these eyes. it feels like this robot is looking at me. one of the most impressive things about thr—3 is its dexterity, and the control that it gives its operator when touching and interacting with objects. now, what's really interesting is not only can the operator control the robot's arms, hands and the fingers through the data gloves, but he can actually feel what the robot feels. so, as the robot grasps the object,
6:49 am
he can feel the resistance of that object in his fingers. and actually, the entire robot mirrors anything that it senses back to the operator. so. . . it can feel the fact that it's being pushed. that means that the operator can sense what's happening to the robot. even if it bumps into something that they can't see, they still know it's there. translation: these technologies could be made to work in many industries. at first, we want to develop the robots to assist with everyday household chores. and then in the future, for teleworking, to remotely support work, which is more physically demanding. toyota isn't suggesting that all robots will be humanoid in the future. at the moment, this isjust an experiment into how humans might show robots what to do. but how about a robot that can
6:50 am
show a human what to do? this is fusion, my new robot backpack. fist bump? i now have four arms, two of which are controlled by someone else who's wearing a virtual reality headset. this surrogate can be mounted on your body, then he can actually assess your motion and guide your motion. so it's kind of like skill transfer. the operator of the robotic arms, who could be on the other side of the world, really can teach you things. they can pick things up and they can even grab my arms and move them around. we wanted to create this kind of collaboration idea between two people, that they are sharing the same body. so, if we share the same body, we share the same point of view, then this probably will enhance
6:51 am
the quality of communication. it takes a bit of getting used to, but once you do, well, it's time for the hard work to begin. can you scratch my nose for me? laughs hmm, as strange an experience as it is to have someone else's movements on my back, i'm betting it'll be even stranger from the other side. so, as i move my head around, sensors track that motion and the robot head moves in response. different buttons enable different finger functions, so i can move each finger individually, or i can move them all simultaneously with a single button, which allows me to grip an object. i'm grabbing the ball! ohhh! red dead redemption 2 allows players to experience a vast,
6:52 am
virtual version of the old west, robbing trains, riding horses, and even playing poker. i'm waiting for someone interesting to turn up. rockstar are a huge deal. they are a development studio behind the gta series. even if you have never touched a controller, you know what grand theft auto is. you know that this is the biggest entertainment product. not just in games. but grand theft auto made $6 billion as an entertainment product. that leaves everything else — films, television — everything else in the dust. the game is so big, it has had to be created using nine different studios in four different countries. rockstar north here in edinburgh is the largest of the studios working on this game. not that many get a glimpse inside the building. security and secrecy is tight. well, ain't this a rare treat? located in the former home
6:53 am
of the scotsman newspaper, they're so secretive around here, we were only allowed to film the building's bulging awards cabinet. everything else was out of bounds. we did get to meet one of rockstar‘s head honchos, though — rob nelson. rockstar is famous for creating games with open worlds. what's new in red dead redemption 2's open world? for us, the biggest game that we've ever made. notjust going bigger and broader, but striving for a depth, being to go into more environments. and when you go into those environments, to be able to pick up and interact with things, and being able to interact with people and animals, and interact with the world in a way that we haven't been able to do before. if we're trying to create world that you believe in, and a character that you believe in, you have to have that connection. so we're always try to push, i think, with every game, to go deeper with that — you know, with that sort of idea. for things to mean something,
6:54 am
they need to cost something. in the old game, if your horse would die, or you lose your horse, you whistled for it and a new one would appear. it was very convenient. but it meant that the horses were somewhat disposable. that's a nice horse. so we decided that the horses will not be disposable. hold still, girl. you know, if you go too farfrom your horse, it's not going to come magically. you will have to go back to it. but, if you spend more time with this horse, you will bond with it, and then it will come to you from a greater distance. or it will stay with you under duress, in combat. it might be less afraid to go in the swamp where there's alligators. there are things like that, which we balance. so, are you pushing the boundaries of what is capable with interactive entertainment at the moment? you know, i think everything that we've done is to serve that goal, and to try and really blur the lines between on—mission and off—mission, and what's narrative, and what's ambient, open—world experience. finding that balance between realism
6:55 am
and believability and fun and playability is something that we are always trying to balance. you hope that you've hit it as well as you can, but you don't know until people play it. this is someone who couldn't walk when they came in. now they're walking. mitsuko negashiyo suffered from polio as a child, which left her in a wheelchair...until now. today, she's wearing a hal suit. hal — hybrid assisted limbs. when you want to move your arms or your legs, your brain sends electrical signals to the muscles to tell them to move. this suit detects those signals, and that's what makes it move. so, if you can't move your arms or your legs, the suit still detects the signals, and so it can walk for you. for example, if i stop my arm from moving, but flex the muscles, it still detects the
6:56 am
will to move the legs. lower limb disabilities are often caused by a damaged and disconnected nervous system between what the brain wants to do and resulting muscle movements. however, even in severe cases, there are still weak electrical signals that do make it through. and, just to prove that it's detecting intention, rather than copying any detected movement, if it's not my brain making my limbs move, the suit doesn't replicate. hal is being used for rehabilitation in serious spinal cord injuries and other neuromuscular diseases, where previously patients had no prospect of being to move their legs again. the legs' purpose is not
6:57 am
to strengthen muscles, but to rebuild the new neural loop between brain and legs. but i'm afraid that's it for now from japan. this is the short version of the programme. the full version of the programme. the full version is waiting for you on iplayer and you can get more from us every single day of the week. we live @bbcclick. thank you for

watching and sayonara. good morning welcome to breakfast with chris mason and tina daheley. our headlines today — a helicopter has crashed only minutes after taking off from leicester city's football ground — a source has told the bbc the owner of the club was on board. i thought it was a great day, you know. and then it's ended up as probably the darkest day in leicester city football club's history. a vigil is held for the victims of a mass shooting at a synagogue in pittsburgh — a suspect hs been charged with murder and hate crimes. a traditional maori welcome for harry and meghan
