correspondent, ben ando. paul gambaccini said his life was turned upside down when he was arrested over allegations that he sexually assaulted two boys in the 19705 and ‘80s, claims he said were fictitious. he spent a year on police bail, but when it dropped the case, the crown prosecution service issued a statement saying, wrongly, that the boys allegedly involved were underage. paul gambaccini sued, and last night the cps confirmed it had reached an agreement without the admission of liability. though details of the deal have not been made public due to confidentiality clauses, the daily mail newspaper has reported that the pay—out runs to five figures. mr gambaccini is also suing the metropolitan police. the case represents another setback for the former director of public prosecutions, alison saunders, who stepped down this week after five years in the role. mr gambaccini, seen here in 2016 at the memorial service of fellow radio two broadcaster sir terry rogan, has described 0peration yew tree

as a celebrity witch—hunt, aimed at averting attention away from the failure of the authorities to stop jimmy savile. ——terry wogan. president erdogan of turkey has said that the order to kill journalist jamal khashoggi last month came from the highest levels of the saudi government. writing in the washington post, mr erdogan calls for the unmasking of what he describes as the "puppet masters" behind the murder at the saudi consulate in istanbul. saudi arabia's version of events has changed several times, but it denies that crown prince mohammed bin salman had any knowledge of the killing. the brexit campaigner arron banks is expected to return to the uk today as he faces allegations that his multi—million pound donations to the "leave" cause may have broken electoral law. the "leave. eu" co—founder was referred to the national crime agency by the elections watchdog, which suspects that cash given to the campaign had come

from what it called "impermissible sources". 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake is in our london newsroom. mr banks is back in britain and has reiterated that he has done absolutely nothing wrong. he arrived early at gatwick, stepping off the plane from bermuda, he was met by reporters and photographers. he was asked about claims that the money that supposedly came from him or his company and donated to the league campaign came from russia. he said it just hasn't, the campaign came from russia. he said itjust hasn't, the money came from me. he went on to say that he will incorporate fully with the national crime agencyed investigation. earlier this week mr banks put out a statement in which he denied doing anything wrong, describing the allegations as ludicrous, and said

that a full and frank investigation would put an end to them. to remind you of the detail, the electoral commission has been looking into specifically £8 million worth of loa ns specifically £8 million worth of loans made by mr banks and his companies to the league campaign, not the official league campaign but the one fronted by nigel farage. the electoral commission decided there was evidence that money had come from abroad, and so it stepped outside its remit. that is by the national crime agency is investigating, arron banks and the uk, facing further questioning on the andrew marr programme. the success of ivf has caused a drop in the number of children being adopted, the boss of the organisation that represents children in care has said. in the last a0 years, adoptions in england and wales have fallen by 62%. meanwhile, ivf success rates for women under 35 have nearly tripled. us actor alec baldwin has been charged with assault in new york city after allegedly punching a man in a fight over a parking space.

the incident allegedly occurred in the west village area of manhattan on friday. the 60—year—old has been ordered to appear in court on the 26th of november. the actor's been in the spotlight most recently for his impressions of president trump on nbc‘s long—running satirical show "aturday night live. 0ne lucky ticket holder in the uk has won the entire jackpot in last night's euromillions draw — a total of more than £76 million. the national lottery is urging people to check their tickets to see if they've won. a spokesperson said they've got plenty of champagne on ice ready to celebrate. it's the biggest win sincejuly, when a couple from aberdeen scooped almost £58 million. you might remember wendy who got in

touch, she was looking at her ticket, she had an e—mail in her inbox saying, you have one,... she was terrified and open it because she thought this was the life changing moment. isaid, tell all. shejust replied, she changing moment. isaid, tell all. she just replied, she won. changing moment. isaid, tell all. shejust replied, she won. £2 changing moment. isaid, tell all. she just replied, she won. £2 50. better than nothing. people buy her a copy. almost. if it is you, get in touch. lovely to have a chat. if you have a gap for a new friend in your life. warm temperatures coming our way for november, says matt. michael will have an update on the sport. footage of an international wheelchair athlete dragging himself along the floor through luton airport after his self—propelling wheelchair was left behind on a flight, has sparked debate online. justin levene pulled

himself across the ground until he reached the exit of the terminal and then lifted himself onto a baggage trolley and used his hands to push himself to his taxi. staff had offered him a rigid high—backed chair, but he refused as he felt it removed his independence. justin is now taking legal action against the airport. he explained why it was so upsetting. ifi if i didn't have my real chat, my legs were taken away. all myself the fidgety and independence was gone. to be in one of those chairs made me feel humiliated and degraded. if you are in one of those and they insist on strapping me down, could not adjust myself and i would have at risk. a statement from luton airport said "on discovering that mr levene's flight had arrived without his wheelchair, our teams worked hard to find a solution, offering mr levene an assisted wheelchair as a temporary replacement. mr levene declined all offers of

help as he deemed them unacceptable. while we apologise if mr levene was dissatisfied with the service he received, we are satisfied that our agents and staff did all they could in difficult circumstances. " this has prompted a big debate on social media. joining us in the studio now is chris wood, who founded the campaign flying disabled. what did you think when you saw those pictures that we just saw? what did you think when you saw those pictures that we just saw7m is horrific. ultimately be a line should have repatriated him with his wheelchair, they never did. he decided, i am wheelchair, they never did. he decided, iam not wheelchair, they never did. he decided, i am not going to sit on something that is unsuitable for my body. i am going to make my own way. it is not unusual, as we know, frank gardner, his wheelchair took an hour to come back to him. this is not unusual, and it is the whole system of airlines and airports, it is

pretty brutal for anybody with a disability, especially wheelchair. lots of people say, he was offered a wheelchair clock ——, what was the problem? you can walk along the real airport in size for shoes even though you take size six. what is the problem? so it is suited exactly to his body? he said, pressure sores can happen, that can happen quickly. yes, the college of occupational therapists, royal college of nursing have been looking at this, i was at a conference they held a month ago and some of this was related to the pressure sores that can come from flying. an eight hourflight, someone flying. an eight hourflight, someone sitting in an airline shelf which is not suitable for your body, it will not be pleasant. i have done

it, it was pretty horrific for my son. he said, to get to the ground, i will put up with it. that is what we did. you mention frank gardner, he has pleaded, i am in total solidarity with justin thomas he he has pleaded, i am in total solidarity withjustin thomas he has also had support from others. there we re also had support from others. there were other people who take a different tack. some people might be offended by these, but some on here says, this was pathetic. they say it was attention seeking. so it was a choice that he either was resigned to sit on something unsuitable for him or dragged him across the floor. perhaps he is making a point, why not? that when you see on the screen, times that by ten that goes

on on screen, times that by ten that goes 0110113 screen, times that by ten that goes on on a weekly basis in and around airports where wheelchair is not trip are traded on lost, broken, smashed. this is notjust a wheelchair, it is someone put back legs. we had to turn that taylor and say, this is part of my body, it gives me independence. frank gardner has not barred his own experience in the last few months and we did before, you are aware of many more cases. there are many more, a broad church. there are those with power wheelchairs and manual wheelchairs, kbytes spectrum. as a campaigner, i set up flying disabled so those in power wheelchairs, who generally need a little bit more support, can actually access aircraft cabin so they can fly away, over land and sea thatis they can fly away, over land and sea that is accessible. certain laws do not apply on airlines, policy laws. the equality law is trumped by

another law which means that airlines have to facilitate as best as possible disabled travellers. we hear stories of people who have not been able to get to the toilet. forget a toilet, itjust cannot be done. surely it can be done. and we have all been on an aeroplane toilet, they are not very big, so my son and daughter could not access it, no way. do they not go to the toilet on a flight? they need assistance. i need to be with them 01’ assistance. i need to be with them or someone care needs to be with them. people dehydrate. they will not drink on a flight, so they are already boarding an aircraft and perhaps not the greatest of health. that is what they need to do. is anything being done to change this goes back to the airlines listen? we had a conference of statement from

luton airport, but are the airlines listening? we need more engagement from them, the airport and doing well. i am from them, the airport and doing well. iam part from them, the airport and doing well. i am part of heathrow access advisory group at heathrow set up the advisory group so that they could learn frank gardner and from other mistakes that have happened. they are really pushing forward to make their airport so much more accessible. however, but you get to the cabin door had our inside the aircraft, nothing gets changed. that is what i'm trying to do, bring the solution, so we can change that so someone can access an aircraft. the ports get a bit of a bad rap. i think there is more coming from the civil aviation authority who look at airports and absolutely scrutinise how they treat disabled people. thank you very much indeed. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather.

a lot of firework displays. will it get soggy? it is a bit windy, but not as cold as it has been through this evening. this morning, yesterday morning, —6 in northern ireland, 26 degrees warmer this morning. much milder air, ireland, 26 degrees warmer this morning. much milderair, that ireland, 26 degrees warmer this morning. much milder air, that is good news if you're on your way out of this evening. we do have rain as well, some fairly soggy start, parts of western scotland, northern ireland, started to clear up a little and western areas. sunshine and showers, rain heading across other parts of scotland, isle of man into north—west england and western parts of wales. it stays dry and reasonably sunny and the further south and east you are after a chilly start compared with other parts of the uk. things brighten up to north and western scotland, the wind is the key. 40—50 mph gusts

across scotland. hazy sunshine, could head around 17 celsius this afternoon. wet across the southern uplands. turning wetter in cumbria, lancashire, western parts of wales, western cornwall. 40—50 mph. it stays dry is further south with sunny spells throughout. tonight, rain from the south—west towards eastern parts of scotland, the chance of some rain at times, if you're off to fireworks event in cardiff, belfast, edinburgh, wherever you are take care, the wind will remain strong, the strongest and western areas, not as wet windy tomorrow. turning dry through the night, wetter to parts of north—east england, the midlands, it was the southwest. either side of that, clearer skies into tomorrow morning. coolest across east anglia, but clear of frost tomorrow morning,

most will have a mild night. sunday, area of low pressure, remnants of hurricane 0scar, bringing windy conditions to the hebrides, elsewhere not as the weather front across south—west england, south wales, bringing rainfor across south—west england, south wales, bringing rain for sunday, taking part of yorkshire, still dry to the east anglia and the south—east, more cloud, sunny spells increasing through the afternoon. scotland, northern ireland, northern england, brighter day with sunshine. temperatures tomorrow around 11-14dc. temperatures tomorrow around 11—1lidc. tomorrow evening, more in the wake of rain, edging into northern england and eventually parts of northern ireland. just before i go, we were talking about the wintry weather across the alps. here are some pictures from yesterday and around our regions. an early start to the ski season and winter, half metres worth of snow falling in some areas. none of that is on the way to ours. it has been a

turbulent spell across the mediterranean alps, lots of snowfall. we were saying earlier they have studied the ski season lots of those resorts already. they have opened because the snow has been so good. time now for a look at the newspapers. but first let's take a look at the front pages. mike barton, chief constable for durham constabulary, is here to tell us what's caught his eye. we'll speak to mike in a minute, the top story for the times is on university tuition fees, which could be cut to £6,500 under plans suggested in a government review. there's also a photo of labour mp luciana berger, who says she's been the victim of a violent anti—semitic threat.

the front page of the express says people have cashed in nearly £6 billion from their pension pots so far this year. and there's a photo of wilnelia forsyth, who's returned to modelling work one year after husband bruce's death. the telegraph leads with a health story, reporting that greater success in ivf procedures is leading to fewer adoptions. su ccess rates have risen from 7% to 29% for under—355. the photo show‘s an image tweeted by donald trump, "sanctions are coming," it says. the mirror has this new film. this

is appropriate because this is a political story, i don't think we appreciate enough our history, so this is all about manchester not having any mp5, one of the fastest—growing biggest cities in the early 1800 sunday had no mps. cold dark and the rotten borough in cornwall, a small village, had to. there was a big demonstrations led by the firebrand henry hunt, the local magistrate did not like it, so they use the troops to break it up and 18 people were killed, 700 injured. mightily is now creating a film about it, and i suppose it is a sign of our times that history is now being taught by hollywood. we

we re now being taught by hollywood. we were fortu nate now being taught by hollywood. we were fortunate to go to the premier, in manchester. we spoke to mike, and one of the actors in the field. maxine peake one of the actors in the field. maxine pea ke is one of the actors in the field. maxine peake is in it as well, it has brought star quality to it. it isa has brought star quality to it. it is a very... makes you think, a very thoughtful film, with walk around manchester and there are places where people would have been running away from the armed guards who were attacking. it is also about people just working class people, who didn't have the votes, do not have saved. let alone an mp. they still did not get a vote at 1918. you had to own property as a man, and then women, everywhere over 30, to own property as a man, and then women, everywhere over30, got to own property as a man, and then women, everywhere over 30, got the vote. ayes often not taught in schools until now. another historical aspect this morning, a new £50 note, and the bank of england what to put a female scientist on it. the question is,

who? the public will get their say. this is more a story for you, i don't see £50. it is a question for the lottery winner. they are inviting people to suggest scientists, mark carney who is the bank of england chair, he will actually make the final choice, but he has reassured us he will not pick an economist. you can see there that it is leaders of the industrial revolution that are currently on there. but they are making a plea that they would like to consider women's scientists to be one of the candidates. ada lovelace, the mathematician, she was one of the first computer programmers any 19th century. 100 bubbles older photographs, heavy feeding a story a view years ago, we need more than one picture or these people. —— one

of the problems with older photographs. it is part of the security of the banknote, if you only have one historical image, it is easierforforgers. only have one historical image, it is easier for forgers. i wouldn't have thought of that. have you been lucky to go to the sistine chapel? i went many years ago. many years ago. it isa went many years ago. many years ago. it is a sight to behold. it was not that busy, but now it is rampant. you can see how the crowds, ijust fearfor you can see how the crowds, ijust fear for all the you can see how the crowds, ijust fearfor all the artwork, you can see how the crowds, ijust fear for all the artwork, because all those people breathing... and changing the humidity of the place. they have not currently got an upper limit in the vatican, but all the tour guides who actually pay a license fee to go around they are saying that this is getting quite dangerous, and i suppose it is an appropriate time to be think about where we will go for summer next

year, a plug for me, durham cathedral. super site. as big as the vatican. now has opened treasure they are, so i was round there the other week and we were not quite so crowded as this. one of the cool quys crowded as this. one of the cool guys hear claims that at least ten visitors take each day as the slow—moving crowds make their way around. it was over a0 degrees when i was there. be read around the coliseum and was stunning. we were ina long coliseum and was stunning. we were in a long queue waiting. not as stunning as durham cathedral. laughter i remember going to the sistine chapel, the vatican guards, you're looking around and the guys shalt, silence! they shot it so would loudly, it is anything other than silent. i many. let's have a quick mention of this, keep your pepper up. the story of a 3-d printer. i

thought, this is marvellous, they even have bits of birds that they have 3—d printers with, and what pd enters the rudimentary. but when you see the final picture, i think i could probably do better with a black & decker. i am sure 3—d printers are brilliant and this poor hornbill needed the top of its builder pairing, unfortunately it had cancer, but i suppose we are waiting to see the final sophisticated 3—d printers, because that certainly is... this is jerry the hornbill, and i am pleased, it may not look great, but apparently he was eating normally the day after. i am probably been far too dismissive. your right to pull me up. he is obviously very proud of his bail, and you are right. after having... they drilled and screwed.

might, for now, thank you very much. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. coming up in the next half hour. renowned rock photographer denis 0'regan will be here to tell us about his time travelling the world with david bowie in the ‘80s. he has wonderful behind—the—scenes pictures, that we have not seen before. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and naga munchetty.

coming up before 9am: we will find out what is happening with the weather, and also the sport. the week—long funeral of leicester city owner, vichai srivaddhanaprabha, will begin in thailand later. members of the team are expected to fly out after their game against cardiff this afternoon. the businessman died, along with four other people, when his helicopter crashed outside the king power stadium last saturday. we came in monday, we didn't train. it was more of being together as a group with staff and players. vichai definitely would have wanted us to play on saturday. we came to an agreement on saturday with the staff and players that we would play on saturday and do him proud. the bbc presenter, paul gambaccini, has accepted undisclosed damages

from the crown prosecution service because of the way it handled unfounded historical sex abuse allegations made against him. mr gambaccini, one of several high profile figures to face claims in the wake of the jimmy savile scandal, was arrested in october 2013 but was never charged. he sued the cps, accusing it of issuing a misleading statement when it dropped the case. the presenter told the daily mail that prosecutors should have said there was "no evidence" rather than "insufficient evidence". the cps said it has reached an agreement without admission of liability. president erdogan of turkey has said that the order to kill journalist jamal khashoggi last month came from the highest levels of the saudi government. writing in the washington post, mr erdogan calls for the unmasking of what he describes as the "puppet masters" behind the murder at the saudi consulate in istanbul. saudi arabia's version of events has changed several times, but it denies that crown prince mohammed bin salman had any knowledge of the killing.

in the last hour, the brexit campaigner arron banks has returned to the uk, as he faces allegations that his multi—million pound donations to the "leave" cause may have broken electoral law. the "leave. eu" co—founder was referred to the national crime agency by the elections watchdog, which suspects that cash given to the campaign had come from what it called "impermissible sources". mr banks denies any wrongdoing. detectives continue to investigate the fatal stabbing of a 17—year—old boy outside a south london tube station, a day after a 15—year—old was killed in the city. 19 teenagers have been killed in violent attacks in london so far this year. the latest happened in broad daylight. no arrests have been made. attacks on firefighters in england have increased by a quarter in the past year, according to their trade union. the fire brigades union says there were more than 930 incidents where crews were abused or threatened.

the home office says new laws coming into place this month should give the police and courts more power to deal with those who are violent towards emergency service workers. a diver involved in the search operations for the ill—fated lion air flight which crashed on monday, has died. syahrul anto is believed to have suffered decompression issues. all 189 people on board died when the plane crashed into the java sea shortly after taking off from jakarta airport. scientists in the us have recruited an unlikely ally in their efforts to develop a new flu treatment. llamas, who produce antibodies much smaller than our own, have been used to create a new therapy that has the potential to work against all types of influenza, including new pandemics. scientists say the research

is in its very early stages and more tests are needed before they can begin human trials. some amazing animal stories today. the new talk about a cross between donkeys and zebras? and we had that bird in the newspaper review with the 3d printing speak. and we have even got mike bushell and dan walker! what a fascinating way to start saturday morning. some big stories in the back pages today.

yes, talking about this week away league across europe. it is interesting to see how fans will respond to this today. have a good look. anything that seems to be motivated by greed is normally a never good place to start. the lack of regulation is a big concern. so, this is the big five clubs that say they are not playing enough of the other big clubs in europe, real madrid, barcelona, those types, and they want to play them more often. yes. it has been spoken about before, and this is essentially some leaked documents which have been reported across europe. there were lots of questions about whether it could happen, whether it is feasible, but if there is that desire, the top clubs have so much power, it is interesting to see if it could be stopped. you alluded to it, it is about money. yes. and that

is ugly. yes, we put it out to viewers earlier, and the response has been interesting. 0ne says he would walk away from football if it happens. another says it has been on the cards since the formation of the football league. another says it should make football more competitive again. maybe it would give other clubs a chance. and stephen hunt says fans would be able to afford the travel. it is a lot more expensive to go to munich than burnley. and some people say clubs should not be allowed back if they go away to this new superleague. it is all speculative. the more you talk about it, the more it sounds like the death of football. i know you have been playing that interview withjamie i know you have been playing that

interview with jamie vardy, talking about a tragic day for leicester today, but he said in that interview that they are all desperate to play, the squad, they all want to play against cardiff today. they will be reflecting on the tragedy as well. bizarrely, this is preplanned, but we have got three former leicester players in the studio with us. two of them played under the owner who tragically died last week, so they will have a real insight into that as well. we have also been to washington with wayne rooney this week. we all know about wayne rooney, and yet he went to dc united, a team that were bottom of the conference, given no chance, they reach the play—offs, lost in a penalty shoot out this week, but wayne rooney has really transformed many people's opinion of him in the states, and he is doing so well out there. plenty of people, people like beckham come over here, they come

over here and in the four—month break, go back, play for pubs back in europe, would that be something you might look at? no. it wouldn't be fairto my you might look at? no. it wouldn't be fair to my children. they go to school here now. i could not take them out, go home for a few months and come back. the decision i made was to come to plate for dc and i am fully committed. he missed a penalty. yes, but he has been a huge pa rt of penalty. yes, but he has been a huge part of their success in getting it. interestingly, in that interview some other squad members say the way that he conducts itself has made a huge difference to the whole team. they are saying, we won a game, we thought we were great, we came into the dressing room and wayne rooney tore us to pieces. and that made them raise the bar. and that reflects the managers he has been under. exactly, he knows where he needs to get to, and they can all

feel when they are not quite at that level. i was also speaking to alex roby, arsenal have been on a great run and take on liverpool this weekend. peterborough and west brom are the two biggest scorers in all of the football league so far this season. west brom are doing particular under darren moore. and also to form a end and international is playing with juve ntus also to form a end and international is playing with juventus at the moment, they willjoin us too. lots to cram them. -- in. any premier league predictions question mark i don't know. save it as a surprise. yes, i can't tell you because it is a surprise! what about your breakaway european league predictions? yes, he is on the spot! we will reveal all in a moment. some

are saying that neil lennon may walk away from thejob. hibernian manager neil lennon says he may walk away from his job after suffering what he calls, anti—catholic "racism". lennon was struck by a coin after celebrating a disallowed hearts goal at the end of the edinburgh derby on wednesday. he says there was an effigy of him, being hanged outside the ground and believes he's singled out for sectarian insults. i call it racism, you quit sectarian. —— call it sectarianism. you are not just sectarian. —— call it sectarianism. you are notjust abusing the colour of his skin, liz karter, his heritage, his background. in the championship, aston villa eased some of their recent worries with victory over strugglers bolton. goals from jack grealisih and james chester gave them a 2—0 win, lifting them up the table to 13th. and before we leave football, it is a band called bring me the horizon

doing the premier league predictions. the preparations for next year's rugby union world cup step up today, as the autumn internationals begin. yesterday was a year to the day, to the final. england face south africa at twickenham, having only won one match in seven, and suffering from a string of injury troubles. manu tuilangi is in the physio room, after getting injured in training. we have got a good squad. i don't think any england team would blame anything on missing any player. we have got so much talent in this team. as i said, we are excited to get out there on the field and play together. in cardiff, wales take on scotland, for the doddie weir cup, in honour of the former scotland international who's battling motor neurone disease. money raised from the game, will go towards research into the condition.

and ireland face italy in chicago this evening. fly halfjonny sexton has been nominated for the world rugby men's player of the year. he's the only man from the northern hemisphere to make the shortlist. olympic champion max whitlock, narrowly missed out on gold at the world gymnastics championships in doha, finishing second in the pommel horse event. he was hoping, to become the first british gymnast to win three consecutive world titles, but missed out, by the smallest of margins, to take silver. he got the same score as china's, zao routeng, but was given a lower execution mark. that saw him finish with a medal, but not the colour he wanted. i can't sit here and be annoyed, i can't be that gutted with a silver medal at the world championships. obviously i was hoping for a bit more, but it is just the way it goes sometimes. i am happy with myjob i have done here at the world championships and it is about moving forwards now. the remarkable run of simone biles at these championships continues. in her first international event,

since taking a year off after rio, she became the first gymnast to win 13 world titles. she took gold in the vault, and followed that up with silver in the uneven bars. it takes her tally, to three golds at these championships and she could add to that with two more individual events to come tomorrow. i am very excited, especially about the bar medal because i have worked especially hard on bars during in my time in gymnastics. i am really excited. roger federer remains on course for a 100th career title, at the paris masters, but he'll have to beat, one of his greatest rivals to do it. federer beat kei nishikori in straight sets in the quarter finals, the 20—time grand slam champion was rarely troubled by his japanese opponent. he'll now face novak djokovic in the semis. djokovic came back from a set down to beat marin cilic. the new world number one went 2—1 down in the third before immediately breaking back, and then moving ahead at 5—3 before sealing victory. next, a warning to any teams parading their trophies in front of celebrating fans — the world series baseball trophy was broken

by a beer can. won by the red sox and the damage was done on the victory parade around the streets of boston, actually on a duck boat on the road. you can see it takes a chunk out of the cup. what idiot through that! iam what idiot through that! i am told it is a tradition to throw beer cans in celebration. but they have glued it back together at little expense, i am told. whether it lasts remains to be seen. that could have hurt someone. this week hm revenue and customs announced it'll refund thousands of higher earning parents who were fined following changes to the child benefit system in 2013. payments are tapered away from those who earn more than £50,000, but some failed to complete a tax return to pay back what they owe. let's get more on this from paul lewis from

radio four‘s money box, who's in our london newsroom. explain what has happened. well, i think it is really because these rules are complicated, and after the initial burst of publicity in january 2013 and i remember i was sitting on the breakfast sofa talking about them many times, but after that, the revenue did not publicise it, they did not tell people about it, and people who perhaps had never known about it, and then their income went above £50,000, where as you say, this charge begins, they werejust com pletely charge begins, they werejust completely unaware of it. when eventually they were caught, or perhaps they realised and they paid back the taxpayer owed, the revenue did notjust back the taxpayer owed, the revenue did not just take back the taxpayer owed, the revenue did notjust take the tax plus interest, it charge them a penalty for late payment. many people have been saying that is unfair, we didn't know about it, there was no reason why we should. finally, they

have agreed to refund fees late payments, and in some cases they are hundreds of pounds. 0ne listener was sent a demand for £7,300 charge, and then he had to pay another £630 penalty on top of that. in his case, he will probably get that £630 back. so, what will people get back and how do they get it? well, it isn't everybody. the inland revenue thinks it is reasonable for you not to have known if your income was below the limit of £50,000 when this began in 2013, and you have not claimed child benefit since that, so your child benefit since that, so your child benefit also began before january 2013. in those circumstances, you should get another three macro any penalties refunded or waived. you don't have to do anything, they say they will look at all the people who have paid penalties, look at their files, find the ones where they had

this reasonable excuse, and pay them back automatically. whether we think they will get that 100% right we don't know, but for now don't do anything, but maybe in six months if you have not had a payment, perhaps look at them three macro asking them to review your case. it is frustrating. more with you on radio four at lunchtime. yes, as ever. ifeel like i am four at lunchtime. yes, as ever. i feel like i am on safari. you have got that dashing animal print tie, and you have got your animal print dress. it must be a theme. we must have exchanged e—mails. a theme. we must have exchanged e-mails. we did, we chatted last night and made sure we would be matching. that's what we do every saturday. thank you for the fashion advice as well! i shall go and change my tie. at least we matched poppies. interestingly, as usual, the debate

about which way the leaf... there is no rule! where it as you want. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. this is lovely have no choice with what is going on. you arejust going to tell us. no choice in talking to me? no, i always like talking to you. imean no, i always like talking to you. i mean that the weather will happen whether you tell us or not. very true, it is just how you prepare for it. notts, the son is up, but a different sky in scotland. wet and windy weather is due to this proximity of the cloud which was hurricane 0skar, set to push between us hurricane 0skar, set to push between us and iceland over the next 2a hours. close enough to pick the

winds up, up to geld falls in many western areas, but also bringing some mild air. the rain is easing off in northern ireland to sunshine and showers, and easing off in the west of scotland. further south and east you are, we start on a cooler note, but lots of sunshine to come. more sunshine in the afternoon compared to this morning. the wind gusts up to 50 mph. very mild around the moray firth, still showers across scotland, persistent rain in the southern uplands. parts of cumbria and lancashire and west wales will turn wetter into the afternoon. the wind is picking up. the wind will pick up everywhere, but across the south—east you should stay dry. west of northern ireland drying out, but elsewhere, if you

have got plans for fireworks this evening, the chance of some rain. not as much chance tomorrow, but today the big thing will be the strength of the wind. remaining very gusty through the evening. these ta ke gusty through the evening. these take extra care. into tonight, the rain will ease away from scotland and northern ireland, the wind remains strong, and damp across parts of wales, south—west england and the midlands. clear of a frost tonight. into sunday, this is the re m na nts of tonight. into sunday, this is the remnants of hurricane 0scar, still passing between us and iceland. keeping winds strong across the hebrides, lighter winds elsewhere. a brighter day for scotland and northern ireland, some showers in the hebrides, brighter too for northern england with some sunny spells. staying dry across east anglia and parts of the south—east, but for lincolnshire, yorkshire and south—west england and wales, there will be some rain at times, turning heavier and more persistent across

the far south—west later. temper just 11—1adc. roughly where they should be for this time of the year. any fireworks planned for tomorrow evening, the rain will spread northwards once again, maybe just fringing into northern ireland before the evening is out. next week, we stay with the milder wins, so temperjust will hold in the teens. i love weather reports like that. if you think it is wet there, have spilled a cup of coffee on the sofa here! david bowie's image wasjust as important as his music and it was the job of photographer denis 0'regan to make sure his fans saw the legendary singer for who he really was. now, 35 years after travelling the world with him on his serious moonlight tour,

denis is ready to share his stories, and accompanying photos from the road. we'll speak to him in a moment, but first let's rewind back to 1983. # let's dance... # to the song they're playing on the radio church on time, makes me for get...

puts my trust in god and man. god and man, no confession. god and man, no confession. god and man, no confession. god and man, no religion. don't believe in modern love. i could have listened to that for ages. thank you forjoining us this morning. from that collection, that was all 1983. where you with him all of the time? every day, from the beginning of the rehearsals, right through to the last show. there was a special section added onto the end in thailand, singapore and hong kong it was 89 months every single day. can you explain how all of this came about? actually, you were a fan of more than a man with an idea for a project. yes, i thought david as

ziggy stardust at hammersmith 0deon. i could not believe this die who went on stage party in a dress, that to girls ripped apart, it was all such a shock. i had seen bands like led zeppelin, but this was all so new and it really affected me. the next day they announced that david bowie had retired, the character, not sell. a year later i was working ina not sell. a year later i was working in a newsagent on a saturday and some girls came in looking for pencil and paper, iasked some girls came in looking for pencil and paper, i asked what was going on, and denis 0'regan was across the road. i took a few pictures —— david bowie was across the road. through various means, i worked my way on to tour with the rolling stones and then david. effectively, i just asked, rolling stones and then david. effectively, ijust asked, can i go on tour with him? how do you pitch that to someone like him? it was, who put together that world tour with david had worked with the

rolling stones the year before, and he said he needed a business plan, soi he said he needed a business plan, so i said we will do a book. if we did a book, the pictures would get seen, which often they don't, and i also might be able to manoeuvre saying on the whole tour, which i did. despite being so famous, it is also very private. how did he cope being with you and your camera all of the time cost up i didn't think he would. i thought i would go on tour, maybe take a few pictures of him off the stage, but when i got there, he wanted everything photographed. he wanted him eating, sitting around doing nothing, that is him around the olympics to do you the very first time i met tim, and it went from there in 197a, to being on tour with him for a year in 1983, andi on tour with him for a year in 1983, and i could never have imagined at that point. what is interesting, listening to this story, he almost demanded you stay with him. yes. he

got used to you being there, and was that entrenched in the project of cataloguing his life over that period. you missed out on a couple of other opportunities, didn't you? i don't know? i thought you were being called back to do another tour and he wouldn't let me. yes, i was there for eight months, that was a long time, i was getting a lot of pictures of david, i didn't really need to be their day in, day out, and then duran duran asked me to come out of england, they were laying a show for princess diana. and you were going to meet and says diana. yes, they wanted me to document this, it was their move into the big time. david would not let me come back. the weird thing was that the ira were going to bomb the theatre that night, so had that happened, david bowie could have saved my life, but as it turned out, the bomber was a double agent and he

sabotaged the wrong plot, so it didn't happen. no one knew anything about this, they met princess diana, the show went on, i was in america with david. it all came out a a few yea rs with david. it all came out a a few years later. i think we should see more of your photographs. what is going on in this one? that is the car we arrived in. david was sweet, when people invited him to his house, he would go. as we went out, david, who he was to me every day, suddenly for a split second became david bowie and went and crash behind the car. you said you saw him as ziggy stardust. what is this one is to mark this is in thailand, on the river in bangkok. we went out with a film crew for about 15 hours, from 3am, and this was when i spent

the most time with david, it was just me and him, a bodyguard, pa and the film crew. it was such a contrast to the tour, where you are locked into the sport of venue, playing, hotel, and suddenly we are outside on the river. and there he is onstage. yes, against a wall of 70,000 people. that was the other thing, the tour had begun with 10,000 a night, the demand was so huge that he went on to play up to 80,000 people a night. and that was the peak of his fame and popularity, wasn't it? what a time to be with him. exactly, and not knowing that was what was going to happen. this is david backstage. the make—up girl's daughter had a birthday party, and david being david, who liked clowning around and being fun, he always wanted to laugh and chat

and mix with people all of the time, so this is his preshow dressing gown. he was so sweet, king was really, really nice. it is not a word you would associate with david bowie. no, no one had ever seen him like this. we travelled on a private jet to ship people around easily between cities and time zones, but this is an eight normal commercial flight this is an eight normal commercial flight in australia. i called his name and he turned around, and that was his instant reaction. that really sums him up. almost catching the everyday. that is really what my favourite part of what i did was. the everyday and the story. it has been a pleasure talking to you. rohani headlines soon. see you soon.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga
