and thundery. it's monday, november 12. our top story: several members of the cabinet expressed significant doubts from the start about theresa may's chequers brexit plan which they agreed to support during a meeting injuly, the bbc has been told. the former foreign secretary, borisjohnson, writing in today's daily telegraph, is urging the cabinet to "mutiny". our political correspondent chris masonjoins us now from westminster. good morning to you. so what has emerged is what they thought at the time. what can you tell us? yes, this was an insight into what was going on around the table in the summer going on around the table in the summer at cheetahs. senior cabinet ministers at the time walked out as a result of the "agreement" which the cabinet signed off at the end of the cabinet signed off at the end of the day —— chequers. now we know the scale of concern around the table. the chancellor philip hammond talked about britain being on borrowed

time, people delaying investment as a result of uncertainty around brexit. liam fox talked about concerns around getting deals with other countries around the world. sajid javid, home secretary, expressed concern suggesting there might have to be a five—year cap on how long things stayed in place before the review. chris grayling was concerned lots of conservative brexiteers would want to go on strike as a result of the ideas. in other words lots of concern around the table about whether the deal or the table about whether the deal or the proposed deal was any good from the proposed deal was any good from the very start. 0k, thank you very much for the moment. we will be back with you later. thank you. the number of people who've lost their lives in the most destructive wildfires in californian history has risen to 31. more than a quarter of a million others have been forced to flee their homes. the latest update comes as the governor of california has urged president trump to declare a major disaster. our correspondent peter bowes joins us now from los angeles. some horrific footage coming in and

the president is coming under quite a bit of criticism for the way he has dealt with this disaster and the work he has said. -- words he has said. yes, he was criticised for blaming the style of forest management here in california for the fires. now that has been a very angry response to that from firefighters and many other people on the ground, as they continue to fight the flames. people have been saying quite simply that the president doesn't know what he's talking about. according to one official he is ill informed, reckless, insulting and shameless in making those comments. and we are still at the height of this crisis, because the fire in northern california, which has claimed the lives of many people, is still burning, as it is in southern california around the malibu area. the most disturbing statistic, their number to come out in the last few hours, is that 228 people are still listed as missing from that town

called paradise in northern california. this is a small town that was literally incinerated by these flames, a very intense fire. officials saying that they hope that some of those people have simply found shelter with people, friends or relatives, and haven't informed the authorities of where they are. nevertheless, it is still an incredibly worrying situation for friends and relatives of those who are missing. thank you very much for the latest from los angeles this morning. yes, some staggering figures. last night more than 1,000 beacons were lit across britian as part of commemorative events marking the 100th anniversary of the armistice that ended the first world war. the queen was joined by other members of the royal family at a sepcial remembrance service at westminster abbey, as our royal coresspondent nicholas witchell reports. it was the day britain remembered a warfrom a century ago. at westminster abbey last night, the queen stood with the german president as flowers were laid at the grave of the unknown warrior, the anonymous soldier whose body had

been brought back from the western front to lie in a place of honour and represent all those british servicemen who'd lost their lives in the great war. earlier, at the cenotaph, britain's national memorial to its war dead, the queen had watched from a balcony as britain's political leaders had taken their positions in readiness for the two—minute silence when those who died in the two world wars and more recent conflicts are remembered. the last post plays after the sounding of the last post, the prince of wales laid the queen's wreath. he was followed by other members of the royal family. and then, after the formal wreath—laying and the veterans' march past came the people's march, an opportunity for 10,000 people to pay their own often personal tributes to ancestors they'd never

known but whose memory they cherish. a century may have passed since the great war ended. no more are there witnesses who can testify from personal experience to its horrors, but britain showed once again that the will to remember remains strong. nicholas witchell, bbc news. there were also some really spectacular remembrance events held across the uk, which people attended in their thousands. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin will have more on that shortly. faces on the beach were amazing, weren't of a? stunning, clever and very moving. such a creative idea and we will show you the images later on this morning. the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, has said he will press the saudi authorities on the murder ofjamal khashoggi during a visit to the country today. mr hunt will ask for full cooperation with the turkish investigation and is expected to say it is unacceptable that the circumstances behind his death still remain unclear. the saudi journalist was murdered at the country's consulate in istanbul six weeks ago, but no—one has been charged. the family of a man who was killed

with his one—year—old son in a car crash in sheffield on friday night have described him as a loving father. adnan ashraf jarral, who was 35, and his son, usman, died when their people carrier collided with another vehicle, which had been pursued by police. husband and wife miroslave duna and vlasta dunova were also killed in the crash. an investigation by the bbc‘s panorama programme has found the average rent arrears for council tenants on universal credit are 2.5 times higher than tenants who still receive the old housing benefit. the chancellor, philip hammond, announced extra money for universal credit in his budget last month, to counter warnings that moving onto the all—in—one benefit system could push people into extreme poverty. catrin nye reports. anthony smith lost his job a year ago and had to claim universal credit. he struggled with the online

system and lost benefits for missing job centre appointments.” system and lost benefits for missing job centre appointments. i have just explained to you. he owes £4000 in rent to the council and is facing eviction. i've even look for somewhere to live and i have found a bridge. the only thing i am not playing ball with is i can't work the computer. i am left behind. under the old system, housing benefit was paid directly to the council, but now it is paid direct to claimants like anthony as part of one single benefit, universal credit. antennae should then pay rent to the county council, but he is way behind and so are others —— anthony. we had a rent arrears position last year of 1.6 million. it is now £450,000 worse than it was then. and a large proportion of that is attributable to universal credit. ina is attributable to universal credit. in a rather has discovered across the uk council tenants on universal

credit are falling behind on their rent, owing on average £663, compared to £263 for those still on housing benefit. that is more than double the debt. the government has rejected calls to return to the old system, paying rent direct to councils. the key point here is to make sure that people get support in terms of funding and that is why earlier this year we introduced a package worth 1.5 billion pounds which means anyone coming on to universal credit who is currently receiving housing benefit will get two weeks of extra money. critics argue much bigger changes are still needed. the universal credit crisis is on bbc one tonight. the details for each region are on your screen now and it will also be available on bbc iplayer. a veterinary campaign group has accused the government of telling bare—faced lies about the effectiveness of the ongoing badger cull in south—west england. the prion interest group said that

government claims of a reduced number of bovine tb cases in cattle, as a result of the cull, was badly wrong. the department for environment, food and rural affairs said it is the right approach and has had a positive impact. scottish wind turbines generated the equivalent of 98% of all the electricity needed in scotland last month. the most productive day was the 23rd october, when turbines created enough energy to power more than 8.5 million homes, more than three times the demand, according to analysis by wwf scotland. that is my favourite shot of the day, that, just a horse. just a random horse looking at a view of the turbine. you think you were saying, i like those turbines? the turbine. you think you were saying, i like those turbine57m was someone on the camera saying, i like those turbine57m was someone on the camera being artistic and quite brilliant, but slightly strange. my favourite picture of the day, and can we please show that throughout the morning? excellent. if you don't want to know

which couple got the boot from strictly come dancing last night, then cover your eyes and ears for the next 30 seconds. put a cushion over your head. yes, the red dwarf star, dannyjohn—jules, has left the ballroom. last week he was the subject of a number of newspaper stories about a disagreement with his dance partner amy dowden. she had reportedly walked out of a session before the pair made up. their caribbean—themed samba saw them land at the bottom of the leaderboard. and they were not saved by the public. no, and also i am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination — he appeared to make a mistake. 0h, in the samba. yes, in the dance—off. mistake. 0h, in the samba. yes, in the dance-off. 0h, 0k. excellent. i am no expert. thejudges said it, and even i notice. every story that doesn't have a horse in it is mildly

disappointing. was it harriet the donkey? yes, last week. yes, the singing donkey. most people have been talking to me about the donkey all we can. she was a star. that was on wednesday. let's get harriett back. can we see the horse again? laughter. there are turbines in that picture. it looks like one of those shots from poldark which they had to edit out because they didn't spot the turbines. you know when you are editing pictures in the middle of the night and you think, shall we put a horse in the wind turbine shot and see if no one noticed it? well, we have and it was excellent. do you think there was a bet involved? i bet we can put a horse in that story. what a weekend in sport. what a whopper. i am exhausted. and we have hardly even started this morning. look at those champs behind you. manchester city, we will talk about them said fair bit this morning. i remember sitting here one

week ago saying, gosh, they have gotten better. well, gosh, theyjust gotten better. well, gosh, theyjust got better again. there was a point yesterday when i thinkjust before the third goal, a34 person pass basically for the gold —— 44 passes. yes, ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous —— before the goal. you are shouting at the telly, come on, have ago, someone are shouting at the telly, come on, have ago, someone stop them, come on, manchester united, are you going to tackle show some passion? and that didn't happen, did it? what on earth is going on? it is hard to get the ball back sometimes. they certainly had momentum. yes, i watched it saturday morning, a game which ended 10—1. yes, in the under 11s which ended 10—1. yes, in the under 115 and it was like that yesterday. city beat united 3—1 in the manchester derby and now have a two—point lead over liverpool at the top of the premier league. city's third goal came after 44 passes and was finished off by ilkay gundogan. they're now 12 points ahead of united. world champion lewis hamilton

praised his mercedes team after his victory at the brazilian grand prix earned them a fifth consecutive formula 1 constructors title. there's just one race to go in abu dhabi in a fortnight. roger federer made a disappointing start to his campaign at the atp finals in london. and a grumpy start, in fact. he was beaten two sets to love by kei nishikori ofjapan. england's rugby league series against new zealand ended in a heavy defeat in the third and final test, but it's england who win the series 2—1. got a little bit of grumpiness coming up in the papers actually. we don't normally do grumpy at this time of the morning. no, never. was mini nugent on the end of the 10—1? yes, it is demoralising. how can you bring the team around after the 10—1 defeat? well done, you finished second! it is really hard. life

isn't about winning every week. that isn't about winning every week. that is exactly what i said. i know that very well. you have to learn more from defeat and victory. exactly, all of that. come back stronger. you are rubbi5h. all right. let'5 catch up are rubbi5h. all right. let'5 catch up on the weather. here is carol with a look at this morning's weather. it is quite a mild start today, but at the weekend some of us saw some torrential rain. as you can see, a lovely rainbow in this picture from one of our weather watchers. a lot of the showers will be in the west, some of them could be heavy and thundery. low pressure close to the west with this attendant weather front. this weather front coming in from the near continent could well ta ke from the near continent could well take a swipe this morning across parts of kent, for example, and east anglia. you will see more cloud build but you could also see some showers from that as well. one or two showers dotted across the

south—west, wales, the isle of man, one or two across northern ireland as well. a few more across southern, west in the north—eastern scotland. in between, some dry conditions in some of us will get off to a sunny start. a breezy day with a noticeable breeze on the cards and you can see how we hang on to the showers in the west, a few in the south and the south—east. but they are showers, so by no means we'll be one. in the west, don't be surprised if you get the odd heavy one and the odd rumble of thunder. temperature—wise, more or less where we should be at this stage in november, looking at 11 to 14. as we head on through the evening and overnight, we start the first half of the night on a breezy note with those showers, but a ridge of high pressure building in from the north—west will kill off some of those showers. there will still be some left, and these are the temperatures you can expect in towns and cities, lower than that in rural areas. we are not expecting any problems with frost, or indeed fog. tomorrow we will still have some

showers in the west, but as the ridge built across us, many of them will tend to fade, and many of us will tend to fade, and many of us will have a dry day with a damp of sunshine. temperature is very similarto sunshine. temperature is very similar to what we are looking at today. however, by the end of the day the cloud will start to thicken on the north—west, ahead of this next system coming in which will bring us some rain. that rain during the course of tuesday night and into wednesday will be moving across scotland, northern ireland, northern england and north wales. it will be another breezy day, windy with exposure. the driest and brightest weather will be in the south, especially so the south—east. it has been a while since we saw a temperature chart like this, we have amberand temperature chart like this, we have amber and yellow indicating the temperatures on the rise. on wednesday our temperature is widely 14 to 15 degrees. locally we are looking at 16. wednesday to thursday the isobars are telling you it will be breezy for many. we have a front out towards the west, but look at

the colours. we are still pulling in this southerly flow so it will still be pretty mild for this stage in november. i the end of the week, which is still a fair way off, mostly dry, mild, lighterwinds which is still a fair way off, mostly dry, mild, lighter winds and there is the risk of fog. at this time of year some of that fog can be slow to clear. but i will keep you posted as we go through the week. let's take a look at today's front pages. one story dominates them all — the commemorations to mark the centenary of the end of the great war. the times headline is "nation salutes the fallen", and shows the queen at the balcony of the foreign office, overlooking the cenotaph. again, photographs of the queen, along with the duchess of sussex and the duchess of cambridge, lead the daily express's armistice coverage. it shows them with their eyes closed in silent prayer. a striking image takes up half of the daily telegraph front page. the image is of a cornish beach, where the waves roll in towards a beach portrait

of lieutenant richard charles graves—sawle, killed at the battle of ypres. this was just one of the portraits of servicemen and women etched into the sand around the uk, which was organised by the film director danny boyle. "for your tomorrow, they gave their today," says the daily mirror. a full—page photograph shows a uniformed veteran and a young girl reading the names on the armed forces memorial in staffordshire. let's take a look at today's papers. we are seeing people we normally see ina we are seeing people we normally see in a slightly better light, roger federer was beaten in london yesterday by nishikori, and many go

just to see him play and the graceful style of play and sportsmanship, and matt dixon in the males as they could have mistaken him fora grumpy males as they could have mistaken him for a grumpy old man. at everybody, the umpire, the ball boys, even his opponent, which is interesting. and in the formula one, max verstappen, and a really heated moment between him and ocon, after a difficult moment on the track. ocon we re difficult moment on the track. ocon were starting to raise max verstappen when verstappen was on to win, basically, and verstappen shoved him afterwards and was penalised for it. it was a double shove. yes, very, very badtempered. and just very quickly, jose mourinho, the manchester city derby build—up was easy and ours was so tough. and talking about

alzheimer's, a five—minute neck scan could indicate a decade before symptoms appear. they measure someone's pulse from their neck and it can detect damage in the brain which causes problems with memory and processing in old age. the faster the blood goes in, the more damage it could be doing. what is your response if you see someone sitting in your reserved seat on the train? ijust move on. if there is a 5pare 5eat, train? ijust move on. if there is a 5pare seat, of course you sit somewhere else. what if there are no spare seats? i say it i am very sorry, could you please move. spare seats? i say it i am very sorry, could you please movem depends who it is, if it is somebody with kids... if it is somebody you don't like? but if it is someone who look5... don't like? but if it is someone who looks... the reason i ask is more than half of train passengers would rather stand than ask someone in their reserved seat to move,

away from the next james bond film to work on a project which means more to him, and it was this. he was responsible for the portraits on the beach. from the people's procession to the faces of the fallen etched in the sand, yesterday we saw some spectacular armistice commemorations. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin takes a look at how the nation remembered 100 years since the end of the first world war. they live beacons to symbolise an end to the darkness of war, to remember the moment the bullets stopped, to remember those who had fallen and those who had brought their stories home. they said the war is over, he said you have gone mad. they said, listen, it is morning. the war is over, we just couldn't believe it. and we very soon couldn't believe it. and we very soon found ourselves picking our way

over that the bodies of men who had falle n over that the bodies of men who had fallen in the early attacks that morning. yes, it was a dreadful experience, there's no doubt about that. still, those of us who survived, it was jolly lucky. corporal edward and the other great war vetera ns corporal edward and the other great war veterans have long gone, but their photographs were held with pride as relatives marched past the cenotaph in people's parade. these are my great uncle's. this is for my grandfather and this is for my uncle. very emotional marching along and thinking about everybody else. what a privilege, a real honour. so yes, proud to have been here on this day, it was great. in this town, more than 3000 people formed this human poppy to give thanks. around 5

million left these shores to fight. close to 500,000 never returned. some of the faces of those fallen we re some of the faces of those fallen were etched into the sand. in folkestone, war poet wilfred owen, killed days before armistice, his mother received news that very day the guns stopped. in northern ireland, a rifleman with no known grave, in ayr, walter tull, the first black officer in the british army. a welsh poet killed on the first day of the battle of passchendaele. his name means less of his. —— blessed peace. the nation once again promised to neverforget. it is such a beautiful idea, and

felt not too comfortable. the second half was much better. if we are on a fashion thing, did you also notice pep's cardigan coat? anyway, later. mo salah scored his sixth league goal of the season as liverpool beat fulham 2—0 at anfield. fulham are bottom of the table. liverpool second. chelsea kept their unbeaten run but could only draw 0—0 with everton whose keeperjordan pickford made a number of saves to earn his side an away point. let's have a look, let's have a look, where are we? lovely. yeah! henrikh mkhitaryan scored a late equaliser against wolves at the emirates to stretch arsenal's unbeaten run to 16 matches. the gunners are fifth, three points behind tottenham. celtic moved top of the scottish premiership on goal difference from hearts after a 0—0 draw away to livingston. it was a bit more lively at ibrox, where rangers thumped motherwell 7—1 to go third. scott arfield and eros grezda both scored twice. rangers are just two points behind celtic. england's women were beaten at home for the first time

since phil neville took over as manager, losing 2—0 to sweden in a friendly. the match was england captain steph houghton's100th for her country but there was little cause for celebration as her side were undone by goals from sofia jakobsson and anna anvegard. it's not the way england's rugby league players would have wanted their series with new zealand to end, a heavy 34—0 defeat at elland road. england did have an unassailable 2—0 lead in the series going into the final match but it was the tourists who dominated throughout. england unable to stop the kiwis, or to even score a point. it is though, england who win the series despite that defeat. now, i mentioned it a moment ago: there was pushing and shoving on and off the track as lewis hamilton won the brazilian grand prix. he's already reatined his world title. max verstappen was leading and on course for a superb win until he was taken out by esteban ocon who was well behind in the race. hamilton took full advantage to take the win and guarantee merecedes

the constructors title. verstappen was obviously not best pleased with ocon and after the race sought out the frenchman and proceeded the push him a few times in the weighing room. as a result, he's been given two days' public service by the sport's governing body. verstappen says he has no regrets. it wasn't just two, it was three or four. playground stuff, yeah. the opening day of the atp finals in london produced a big shock with kei nishikori beating roger federer. nishikori had never beaten federer indoors, but took the first set on a tie—break and claimed the second 6—3. the format is round robin, so federer, who's won the end of year tournament six times, could still reach the final. we will see him again. i've been feeling, i mean, fine. it is just that practice has been a bit all over the place, you know. practising in queens, the outside

courts, then on centre as well, so it's not always the same conditions. but overall i thought i am hitting the ball ok but overall i thought i am hitting the ballok up but overall i thought i am hitting the ball ok up to today it was totally fine. so i think we both had a bit of nerve too. he still gets nervous, does rog. in the doubles britain's jamie murray and partner bruno soares won their first match against raven klaasen and michael venus. bueno! he really is. laughter the pair have reached the semi—finals twice in london and are seeded fourth. my favourite post interview... you know what, this is a bit of passion. you know we see the interviews and it is all quite, sort of, you know... watched charlie austin. southampton's charlie austin has put forward an impassioned case for the video assistant referee system to be introduced into the premier league. austin thought he'd scored against watford on saturday only for his effort to be ruled offside. replays showed it should have stood. let's watch what he said after the

game. they said it is offside, twice it hit me, it is a joke! talking about var this, that, we need help, the most watched league in the world, give them all of the help they need, clearly it cost two points today, it isa clearly it cost two points today, it is a joke! clearly it cost two points today, it is ajoke! i love him. good. properly love that. they have interspersed that with a bit of blur's park life. that's what you need, a bit of passion. he doesn't insult anyone, he doesn't sweat, he just gets his point across with a bit of vim and vigor. thank you very much. let's bring you up—to—date with one of our top stories. for several days now, the most destructive wildfires in californian history have raged across the state. dozens of people have lost their lives, and homes and possessions have been reduced to ash. mee forbes and her family were among those lucky to escape.

their home and neighbourhood in butte county have been completely destroyed. they're now staying at a hotel in redding, california from where mee joins us now. good morning. thank you forjoining us. good morning. thank you forjoining us. mee, tell us when you realise things were getting serious? well, when i was driving my children to school, and to an appointment, we saw the sky and a plume of smoke and the orange glow and we knew something was wrong, but we couldn't figure out what was happening because no one was telling us anything on the news or on facebook or social media. so we just were going about our business trying to get to our appointments and thank goodness we had an appointment because otherwise i would have dropped everybody off and we would have been separated. so i really think. why so you saw something was up, you went back to your house, what did you manage to get from your

house? we just took some clothing for a few days... inaudible. got some food together and we had ten minutes to pack and then we got an evacuation call. and we didn't think that we were gonna begone... you know, we just think that we were gonna begone... you know, wejust thought think that we were gonna begone... you know, we just thought it would bea you know, we just thought it would be a few days and we could come back home. so we didn't really think how serious it was. we have seen some of your pictures you filmed as you're leaving you can see quite clearly you are in a dangerous situation. were afraid for your lives? you know, it didn't really hit home until we were struck in traffic trying to get out with everybody else and it took one and a half hours to get out of the neighbourhood because of everyone trying to get to safety. and then just seeing everybody else's, you

know, they were driving through fire, we didn't have to drive through the fire, so i think we were pretty lucky. mee, we havejust shown here, talk us through the pictures, we had just seen your house and then the scene after the fire, and there appears to be just nothing left. the fire must have been really hot. my husband had a steel utility cabinet and that thing is very sturdy and it got melted down. so i can't imagine how hot it was. i mean, it must have been really hot because everything is just ash. and what happens now to you? you just ash. and what happens now to you ? you have just ash. and what happens now to you? you have lost all your possessions. do you know what you can do for the next few weeks? well, we have somebody loaning us an rv, so we are we have somebody loaning us an rv, so we are really thankful for that. we have temporary housing people coming out to talk to us, or calling

us, so we coming out to talk to us, or calling us, so we are coming out to talk to us, or calling us, so we are hoping since we have home insurance i feel blessed for that because i know some people don't have renters' insurance for their home or apartment. inaudible. soi inaudible. so i know some of the people are in worse situations than us. mee, i am so worse situations than us. mee, i am so glad you got out safely to your daughters. thank you so much for joining us. thank you very much indeed. and best of luck as well. the latest figures this morning, there are over 200 people still unaccounted for. 228 is the latest figure but that is changing all the time as well. we are going to get the weather for the uk. time as well. we are going to get the weatherfor the uk. carroll, you can tell us as well, weather conditions in california are not helping the spread of the wildfires. and vanessa feltz on bbc radio london. that's right, at the santa ana wind, which is quite common, and is blowing around an area of high pressure, so blowing around an area of high pressure, so it is an offshore wind and it'll still be gusty today and tomorrow. it shows some sign of easing on wednesday. back at home,

what we have is a fairly quiet day weatherwise. we are looking at a lot of dry weather around. however, there will be some showers. we have them at the moment, the heaviest will be in the west, some of those will be in the west, some of those will have some thunder and lightning embedded in them as well. so this morning we have low pressure not to far away from the west, you can see weather front attached to it, that is enhancing the showers, isobars telling me it is quite windy, and another weather front coming in from the near continent, pulling cloud across kent and east anglia. that could also produce some showers. we have showers in other parts of the uk towards the west, wales, the isle of man, north—west england, a few across ireland, and quite a lot across ireland, and quite a lot across northern and western scotland. some of us are getting off toa scotland. some of us are getting off to a chilly but a dry start, with some sunshine. for many today it will remain dry and we will see quite a bit of sunshine. those showers in the west travelling a little bit further east through the day, so you may catch one, for

example, in the midlands. a noticeable breeze, temperatures roughly between about ten and 14 degrees. through the evening and overnight we hang on to the showers in the first half of the night, and then a ridge of high pressure starts to build in from the west. so many, but not all, of the showers will tend to ease. these are the showers you can expect overnight, cooler than this in rural areas, and tomorrow we will start off with one or two showers, most of those will fade. then we are looking at a relatively dry day. quite a bit of sunshine around, and a noticeable breeze. later in the day the cloud will thicken across the north—west, heralding the arrival of our next weather system, which will bring some rain through the night and through wednesday across scotland, northern ireland, northern england and wales. the driest conditions are likely to be across central, eastern and southern parts of england. it will be breezy, but this is our

temperature chart. we have amber back on it, so the temperature is rising. by the time we get to wednesday, our range will be 12 to 15. locally, 15 to 16, but we still have a fair bit of cloud and rain in the north—west. it is very controversial and very expensive, but nuclear power is viewed by many in the energy industry as the best way of developing a low—carbon future. however, some nuclear power stations in the uk are reaching the end of their lifespans, and one of the replacement projects was thrown into doubt last week. victoria is looking at the future of energy, and is at the site of a new reactor at hinkley point, in somerset. morning, victoria. hello, good morning to you. yes, that's right. this is the site of the first new nuclear power station in the uk for a generation, for 20 yea rs. in the uk for a generation, for 20 years. did you know that nuclear still provides the uk with 21% of

its energy demands? it was certainly news to me, and also news to me is even though it is often seen as though it glows green, it glows blue instead. we thought it would be worthwhile, given there is lots going on in the nuclear industry at the moment, to give you a little bit ofa the moment, to give you a little bit of a potted history in britain. the nuclear option. it might generate strong opinions, butjust how much energy does it generates? the world's first full—scale atomic power station was opened at calder hall by the queen in 1956. all of us here know that we are present at the making of history. by the 1970s there were 11 stations, and the uk soon there were 11 stations, and the uk soon dominated the industry. 1997 was the peak. nuclear accounted for 2796 was the peak. nuclear accounted for 27% of all our electricity. but delays to gas reactors and leaks dented the uk's reputation. there

are 15 reactors dented the uk's reputation. there a re 15 reactors left, dented the uk's reputation. there are 15 reactors left, but by 2035, all of these will have been retired. so what next for nuclear in the uk? well, hopefully the man who can a nswer well, hopefully the man who can answer those questions is nigel, who is the delivery director for the project. thank you for getting up bright and early for us. surely time and technology has moved on. does britain need a new nuclear power station? absolutely, what you see is the start of replacing that 21% you talked about earlier. the more we build of these, the more efficient we become. so low carbon, high volume, and energy security is what nuclear gives you. it also gives you a great industrial strategy, so 64% of the project's costs will be spent in the uk. we have 250 apprentices, we expect to have 1000, so a great

legacy to take on to future infrastructure projects. give us a sense of the scale of this project. when will it be completed, and what kind of cost? at the moment the costs are the same as what we previously said, around £18 billion. we expect to be finished around 2025, at the moment we have hit all our goals, we expect to get a big milestone injune our goals, we expect to get a big milestone in june 2019 when we pour all of this concrete in front of us. we will talk to you a little later on. there is an accommodation block, about 500 beds, a gym, a restaurant and more than 3000 workers on site at the moment. but lots of people wondering whether or not it is worth it. neil is a senior policy fellow at imperial college. what is your position on nuclear? well, this is a very exciting project which will produce a lot of reliable low carbon electricity for the uk. we will need a lot if we are to meet our

commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. the role in the future depends on three things. first of all they have to complete this project successfully, on—time and on budget, because this reactor design has a chequered history and it is a re ce nt has a chequered history and it is a recent construction in europe, so they have to build confidence they can build these effectively, and secondly we have to get the cost down. this is an expensive projects, partly because it is the first of its kind, as you have just described, but also partly because of the way it was financed. the government looked at different ways of financing nuclear power stations to make it less costly for a consumer, butjust to make it less costly for a consumer, but just one to make it less costly for a consumer, butjust one more thing, ifi consumer, butjust one more thing, if i have got time, the third thing is we don't know what will happen with our other technologies. a lot of people would prefer that we rely entirely on renewables for our low carbon energy. at the moment that isn't possible because the wind doesn't blow sometimes, the sun doesn't blow sometimes, the sun doesn't shine, and we don't have cheap options for storing very large amounts of electricity. they will

develop over time, so we will have to see how that develops.” develop over time, so we will have to see how that develops. i will bring in doug from greenpeace, a scientific adviser. there is also the opportunity cost and the environmental cost of this, as well. yes, we don't think nuclear is the right strategy for the uk, in fact the uk is quite exceptional among western nations in still pursuing the nuclear option. we believe that with cheaper offshore wind, onshore wind and solar, that that is the right route for the uk to go down. now, i don't expect everybody who is watching the state oh yes, we should agree with that —— to say. it is time for the uk government to take a fresh look at the whole thing. it hasn't done so in a decade. in that time solar power has fallen by 80%, offshore wind came down by 50% in five years, and we are still operating our energy policy as though it was 2008, and it isjust completely redundant and out of date. we need to take another look, and we think when that other look is

taken, we will find that renewables isa taken, we will find that renewables is a much better option than pursuing the nuclear option. thank you very much, so clearly lots of different thoughts here, costs, controversy certainly, but obviously with the future of those plants in cumbria and essex now in doubt, there is a question mark over the future of nuclear in britain. plenty more coming throughout the programme. very much. some of you getting in contact today about great television over the weekend, so much great television over the weekend dynasties, the great one from david attenborough. we had an update at 4am, if you didn't watch, it is an incredible thing to watch. david the chimp versus luther. and we will show you a piece of this later on,

they shall not grow old, and if you haven't seen it, find it on iplayer, all of that original footage from world war i has been recovered, and it brings it incredibly to life. peterjackson is responsible for it, and we will be speaking to the person responsible for that and quite a bit of the armistice coverage over the weekend as well. singer michael buble has been back in the recording studio for the first time since his son noah was diagnosed with liver cancer two years ago. thankfully noah is doing well, and the bubles have recently welcomed a new arrival, their daughter vida. brea kfast‘s tim muffett caught up with michael, who explained how his new album love is inspired by the challenges they have faced. good morning and happy breakfast to you. happy breakfast to you too. welcome back to the uk. so this new album, love. i do anything to hear you say i'm yours. # just because i

know i'll never, ever feel the same doesn't mean i love you any more.” think it is a very michael buble —esque move for and album. think it is a very michael buble -esque move for and album. as we wa ke -esque move for and album. as we wake up and watch the news, the terrifying news, of all the horror, negative, suffering, i lived it, and i'm part of this world, and ijust thought, you know what? i would love to put something beautiful out there. for the beautiful people that love me and guide ourfamily through a hard time. and how other family? great, thank you for asking. every day is good. my kids are good, i've got a beautiful little girl. you know what? everybody goes through rotten stuff, and it teaches you not to sweat the small stuff, because you realise everything is the small stuff. so this new album, you've got some real classics on here, you've

got unforgettable, my funny valentine. and also... # when i fall in love, it will be forever. it is a very christmas album, in many ways. it isa very christmas album, in many ways. it is a traditionally warm, romantic, rich, old school... i mean, all the orchestration, all of the musicians, the arrangements that i wrote, you know, i wanted it to have that kind of appeal, that sense of warmth and nostalgia. but here's the thing, so the christmas number one in the uk has historically been a very big deal, which song is going to be number one at christmas, not so to be number one at christmas, not so much now but in the past. i think there are some former number ones which could use a little bit of michael buble. christmas 11 in the year 2000, bob the builder, can we

fix it. # bob the builder, can we fix it. # bob the builder, can we fix it? # bob the builder, can we fix it? # bob the builder, can we fix it, hell yeah. 1984, christmas number one, mr blobby. you could call me buble or blobby, depending on the die at a meeting at the time. —— diet i'm eating at the time. michael buble's album is called love. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. the driver of a bus which crashed in croydon yesterday afternoon, leaving a teenage girl in a critical condition, has been arrested on suspicion of being under the influence of drugs. 20 people were injured when the 198 bus collided with a car, another bus, and hit a shelter in west croydon. the 15 year—old remains in hospital. black cab drivers are being advised

to stay clear of the lisson grove area, in maida vale, after a number of attacks on their vehicles. the latest incident happened a week ago when a cone was thrown at a cab. police have received thousands of calls relating to antisocial behaviour around london over the last fortnight, and the drivers' union is advising black cab drivers on what they need to do to stay safe. our advice to our members is simple. lisson grove is not a safe area, lisson grove is not a safe area, lisson grove is a particular, our advice to members is not to come to this area, if they are driving through to keep the doors and windows locked and to be very, very wary. if it is not safe for the police, it is not safe for my members. one of the world's most exclusive tea shops has made over 500 rare and expensive teas available to the public for the first time at their shop in east london. the london tea exchange

on brick lane revealed the teas which can cost tens of thousands of pounds per kilo. a mayor's tea was also unveiled in honour of london mayor sadiq khan and future mayors of london. let's take a look at the travel situation now. the district and circle line have severe delays. tfl rail has minor delays between paddington and heathrow airport, due to a faulty train near paddington earlier. in westminster, bridge street is closed between parliament square and victoria embankment. that's for security work going on until next month. and in greenwich, there are three—way temporary traffic lights in place on greenwich south street, causing long delays. now the weather, with kate. good morning. it's a reasonably mild start out there this morning, and in fact for the next few days the temperature is going to remain mild, especially considering it's mid—november. now, for today, further heavy showers to follow on for the week but between them, some really heavy spells of sunshine.

the showers coming up from the south, you mightjust see a flash of lightning in one or two during the afternoon. that sunshine actually feeling quite pleasant. still the risk of a shower, though, the temperatures getting up to about 14 celsius. now, wvernight further showers moving out from the south and the west. again, you mightjust hear a rumble or two of thunder. a gusty breeze will develop, as well, but that will start to clear those showers away from the early hours. the minimum temperature around seven or eight celsius, so another mild night. now, as those showers clear, we're looking at a fine start tomorrow morning. plenty of sunshine around for tuesday, a much drier picture as we head to the rest of the week. lots of sunshine, and temperatures again quite impressive for the middle of november. mid—teens by thursday. we're looking at somewhere around 16 celsius. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker

and louise minchin. our headlines today: senior cabinet ministers had serious doubts about theresa may's brexit plan from the start as boris johnson calls for a cabinet mutiny. more than 31 people are now known to have died in the most destructive wildfires california has ever seen, more than 200 are still missing. how a nation remembers — hundreds of thousands pay their respects to the fallen of the great war on the centenary of the armistice. assessing the nuclear option. with the future of planned plants in cumbria and essex in doubt, what is the future for nuclear power in the uk energy mix? i've come to site of the country's next reactor to find out. in sport: city looked like they enjoyed the manchester derby. the premier league leaders beat united 3—1 — their third looked like

a stroll in the park. good morning. it is a relatively mild start to the day today. for many of us it will be a day of sunshine and showers. the heaviest will be in the west. i will have in 15 minutes. —— i will have more in 15 minutes. —— i will have more in 15 minutes. good morning. it's monday, november 12. our top story: several members of the cabinet expressed significant doubts from the start about theresa may's chequers brexit plan which they agreed to support during a meeting injuly, the bbc has been told. the former foreign secretary, borisjohnson, writing in today's daily telegraph, is urging the cabinet to "mutiny". our political correspondent chris masonjoins us now from westminster. 0k, ok, so, let's start with what we know now about how ministers felt at the time of the chequers plan. we

already knew borisjohnson and david davis walked out of the cabinet because they didn't like the prime minister's vision for brexit. we now know that plenty of other cabinet ministers expressed their reservations in private as well. so the chancellor philip hammond talked about how the uk was on notice. investment decisions were being delayed because of uncertainty. 5.3de delayed because of uncertainty. sajid javid, the home secretary, he was a remain vote in the referendum talking about his concerns. the transport secretary chris grayling talking about the fear from his perspective that up to 40 conservative backbenchers on the eurosceptic side of the argument might not like what was about. some of the like esther mcvey and peni morden who have not wanted to endorse the prime minister's brexit vision also back injuly expressed their reservations. and of course, since then the eu has also said it doesn't like the plan either. ok. let's move on to borisjohnson

because again once again he has weighed in calling for a cabinet new —— mutiny. weighed in calling for a cabinet new -- mutiny. his weekly well remunerated article in the telegraph from borisjohnson with lots of verbose language and vocabulary amounting to the same argument that we hear every week in the daily telegraph from boris johnson we hear every week in the daily telegraph from borisjohnson which is that he thinks the prime minister's plan is rubbish and he wa nts minister's plan is rubbish and he wants the cabinet to mutiny, he doesn't think it will happen but he says he agreed with his brotherjoe johnson who resigned on friday over the fact that the government's plan isa dud. the fact that the government's plan is a dud. so where are we in this brexit process? people like me are paid to have insight and fore sight and hindsight about these things and to be able to project where we are going to be quite honest, looking at things right now, i haven't got the foggiest idea what's going to happen in the coming weeks. will the prime minister get a deal with the eu? dunno. will she get it through the

commons? don't know about that either. i think you might as well get mr bobby back on to offer his analysis because frankly i suspect he is is now as good as mine. oh, chris mason, don't do yourself down! we will have you back later, and also michael buble playing mr bobbly as well. 31 people have lost their lives in the most destructive wildfires in californian history. 228 people remain unaccounted for and more than a quarter of a million others have been forced to flee their homes. the latest update comes as the governor of california has urged president trump to declare a major disaster, which would release federal emergency funds. our north america corresponent james cook sent us this report from los angeles. paradise is no more, ravaged by the most destructive wildfire in california's history, and one of the deadliest. in the ashes, they toil.

their task, distressing and delicate, is to find answers for the living. i have two sons and two grandchildren up there. i can't find out anything about them. i don't know if they're alright, or if they have got out. i've been to the shelters in chico, they're not there. so i don't know where else to look. i'm just hoping they're coming down the hill, i'll catch them here. and the crisis is far from over. 250,000 people have fled, and 80,000 firefighters are struggling to save everything, from celebrity mansion to mountain shack. well, the owners of this home were clearly unlucky, but firefighters have been working really hard in this community. they've been battling, they've had aircraft in the sky as well, and their work has been paying off. so far, they have saved many, many more homes than they have lost. in the us this year, wildfires have burned an area larger than belgium and luxembourg combined, well above average. man: i'm surrounded by fire.

faced with catastrophe, president trump's first comment was a threat to cut california's funding if it didn't improve forest management. the president of the firefighters' union called it shameless, ill—informed and demeaning. after a brief lull, the dusty desert winds which drive these fires are roaring again. and, with more homes and lives at risk, the governor of california is urging the white house to declare a major disaster. james cook, bbc news, los angeles. incredible pictures coming from there this morning. last night more than 1000 beacons were lit across britian as part of commemorative events marking the 100th anniversary of the armistice that ended the first world war. the queen was joined by other members of the royal family at a sepcial remembrance service at westminster abbey, as our royal coresspondent nicholas witchell reports. it was the day britain remembered a warfrom a century ago. at westminster abbey last night, the queen stood with the german president as flowers were laid at the grave of the unknown warrior,

the anonymous soldier whose body had been brought back from the western front to lie in a place of honour and represent all those british servicemen who'd lost their lives in the great war. earlier, at the cenotaph, britain's national memorial to its war dead, the queen had watched from a balcony as britain's political leaders had taken their positions in readiness for the two—minute silence when those who died in the two world wars and more recent conflicts are remembered. the last post plays after the sounding of the last post, the prince of wales laid the queen's wreath. he was followed by other members of the royal family. and then, after the formal wreath—laying and the veterans' march past came the people's march, an opportunity for 10,000 people to pay their own often personal tributes to ancestors they'd never known but whose memory they cherish. a century may have passed

since the great war ended. no more are there witnesses who can testify from personal experience to its horrors, but britain showed once again that the will to remember remains strong. nicholas witchell, bbc news. there were also some really spectacular remembrance events held across the uk, which people attended in their thousands. one of my favourites was these portraits on the beach, which were just staggeringly beautiful. and tell us which ones particularly touched you as well. yes, said shell not grove old was on last night and thousands of social media commented on that, peterjackson recovered the footage from world war i. and audio as well from people who had been

there. it was amazing. people commenting on the fact that the next generation has to be taught about what happened to make sure we don't make the same mistakes again and it was a really reflective piece that was a really reflective piece that was appreciated by many people as well. it is on the bbc iplayer if you haven't seen it. the family of a man who was killed with his one year old son, in a car crash in sheffield on friday night have described him as a loving father. adnan ashraf jarral, who was 35, and his son, usman, died when their people carrier collided with another vehicle, which had been pursued by police. husband and wife miroslave duna and vlasta dunova were also killed in the crash. an inquest into the deaths of ten people shot dead by british soldiers 47 years ago will open later in belfast. an initial investigation into what's known as the ballymurphy massacre cleared the soldiers involved and referred to the unarmed civilians who died as gunmen. families say they've fought long and hard forjustice and hope to get some form of truth. if you don't want to know

which couple got the boot from strictly come dancing last night, then cover your eyes and ears for the next 30 seconds. that means we are going to have to say goodbye to danny and amy. yes, the red dwarf star, dannyjohn—jules, has left the ballroom. last week he was the subject of a number of newspaper stories about a disagreement with his dance partner amy dowden. there was an argument, that they made up before they danced on saturday night. their caribbean—themed samba saw them land at the bottom of the leaderboard. it is 7:12am, thank you for being with us on this monday morning. still plenty to come. the defence minister and former soldier, tobias ellwood, has joined criticisms of us president donald trump for missing an armistice event in paris at the weekend, due to bad weather.

in a tweet mr ellwood, who is a dual national, said "rain didn't prevent brave heroes on the western front from doing theirjob." we'rejoined now from paris by political commentator scottie nell hughes. thank you very much for coming on brea kfast for thank you very much for coming on breakfast for us this morning and discussing this with us. you are a pro trump commentator but what do you think of the criticism of the president for not being at the memorial because of the weather this weekend? well, i don't know about a pro trump commentator but i am someone pro trump commentator but i am someone that can see things from both sides, perspectives, and i can see why the president is drawing a lot of criticism for missing the event. obviously anytime you are here for a weekend to celebrate the military and you miss a major event which president macron had planned, you will draw criticism. the other side of it to look at is that we are not part of the service, we are not pa rt not part of the service, we are not part of this detail so if we have ha rd part of this detail so if we have hard evidence out that says president trump made this decision

and it was not made for him, we need to hold the criticism. there are other things we can talk about and criticise on the weekend. this is one area i think they took safety and security first. and until now we have to make sure we take their word for it. i appreciate what you say about seeing things from both sides because essentially when anyone does or says anything there are some who accuse him of being ridiculous whatever he says. and yet the difference i think with this one, scottie, was there are people who maybe haven't criticised him before who said this was a bad decision and it reflects badly on him. can you appreciate that? i can absolutely appreciate that? i can absolutely appreciate and respect that and of course the last thing anyone ever doesn't want to do as a president or a common person is doesn't want to do as a president or a common person is insult the military and that's what this weekend was about, this was a major event to show, among all the leaders who were there, to walk among the cemetery in peace and unity together. but once, like i said, u nless together. but once, like i said, unless you're the person operating

ra i nfo rest unless you're the person operating rainforest one, it is hard to criticise that until we have some tangible evidence to warrant it. criticise that until we have some tangible evidence to warrant itm also doesn't help when you have presidential historians, we will show that now, tweeting a picture of jfk and de galle in paris, all used to say they can do it and others have done it, and where is president trump in this? i suppose over and above that, the other comment this morning and over the weekend has been that, choosing not to attend president macron peace forum, that was actually, although the pictures are not as damaging, politically that was a bad decision. well, and that was a bad decision. well, and thatis that was a bad decision. well, and that is something that we can talk about because i do believe every time you the chance for leaders to get together even if it is superficial and four show, and they wa nt to superficial and four show, and they want to focus on peace, i think that's a positive thing and president trump's absence was obviously very well noted on it. so if we want to criticise that, critics have room to criticise president trump for missing that. at

this point, though, you say the white house has responded, saying he has a busy schedule, more importantly the vice president took off at the same time president trump was leaving here for his long—term outreach in asia, the economic tour in asia, so you know there is always going to be an excuse from the white house to cover it. in the end i think ultimately this was probably not the best decision because anytime you can talk with world leaders about peace and show that is the focus i think that is a positive thing for everyone involved. one other issue which has been touched on this weekend and is one of the main stories about 228 people unaccounted for in these huge californian forest fires, and over the weekend president trump's first comment was to blame forest management. do you think he will have to clarify those comments this week as well? i don't know if he is going to clarify. he is going to have to answer for them. a lot of thatis have to answer for them. a lot of that is in response to the governor of california coming and blaming it

on climate change. both sides have made it a political issue which is not fair to the heroes and firefighters and the residents affected by the fires. i think with any crisis at this point it is better to wait until everyone is safe and accounted for before we debate and decide whose fault it really is. really good to talk to you this morning. thank you very much for coming on to breakfast for us much for coming on to breakfast for us live from paris. here is carol with a look at this morning's weather. you mentioned earlier these wildfires in what is going on. good morning. good morning, all. we are talking about the wildfires in california, and the wind looks like it will still be gusty today and tomorrow but on wednesday it will die down a touch. closer to home we have a breezy day, also one of sunshine and showers, the heaviest are likely to be in the west, but you could also hear the odd rumble of thunder. we have low pressure out in the atlantic with this attendant front enhancing the showers, you can

see from the isobars it is breezy and we have this weather front close to the south—east, close to kent and east anglia. that is bringing more cloud than the odd spot of rain coming out of it. showers across southern counties into the south—west, wales, the isle of man, north—west england, one or two in northern england and northern and western scotland. they are showers, though, so not all of us are seeing them. a relatively mild start to the day except across parts of the highlands, where we will have clear skies, the temperatures dropping in starting off with some sunshine. for many parts it will be dry with some sunshine around. as i mentioned, the heaviest showers in the west, a few of those drifting eastwards through the day. a few in the south of the country, the channel islands, but not all of us catching one. temperatures ranging from 11 to about 14. as we head on through the evening out overnight, still breezy to start with, a fair few showers but as a ridge of high precious to

build in, that will tend to kill off some of those showers. temperature—wise, about six to eight, lower in the countryside and lower across parts of the north—east of scotland. tomorrow we start off with those showers, many of them feeding through the day as our ridge of high pressure builds across us. for most of the uk it will be dry, link the sunny spells and temperatures similar to today. i the end of the afternoon we start to see the cloud thickened across northern and western scotland and northern ireland as our next system arrives, introducing rain. through the course of tuesday night in the wednesday, that rain will pouring across scotland, northern ireland, northern england and wales. during wednesday the brightest skies will be across the brightest skies will be across the south and also parts of the east. look at those temperatures on our temperature profile. amber is back, indicating it will become mild or very mild for the time of year. temperatures ranging to about 12 to

15. locally somewhere in the south we could hit 16. as we move on through wednesday into thursday, still rather windy across the northern half of the country. weather fronts building northern half of the country. weatherfronts building into the west bringing rain at times but we are still pulling in this southerly airflow, southerly wind making it fairly mild. that is how we end the week. for many, mild, light winds, mostly dry but the risk of fog. and at this time of year it can linger for a large part of the day. we are keeping a close eye on that. from the people's procession to the faces of the fallen etched in the sand, yesterday we saw some spectacular armistice commemorations. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin takes a look at how the nation remembered 100 years since the end of the first world war. they lit beacons to symbolise an end to the darkness of war, to remember the moment the bullets stopped, to remember those who had fallen, and those who had brought their stories home.

they said the war is over. i said, he's gone mad. they said, listen, it's saying the war finishes this morning. the war is over — we just couldn't believe it. it was so unreal. and we very soon found ourselves picking our way over the bodies of men who'd fallen in the early attacks that morning. yes, it was a dreadful experience, there's no doubt about that. still, those of us who survived think ourselves jolly lucky. corporal edward glendinning and the other great war veterans have long gone, but their photographs were held with pride as relatives marched past the cenotaph in a people's parade. these are my grandfather's medals

and my great uncle's. this is for my grandfather and this is for my uncle. very emotional marching along and thinking about them, and thinking about everybody else. what a privilege, a real honour. so yeah, proud to have been here on this day, it was great. in cirencester, more than 3,000 people formed this human poppy to give thanks. around 5 million left these shores to fight. close to 500,000 never returned. -- 900,000. some of the faces of those fallen were etched into the sand. in folkestone, war poet wilfred owen, killed days before armistice. his mother received news the very day the guns stopped. in northern ireland, john mccance, a rifleman with no known grave. in ayr, walter tull, the first black officer in the british army. in colwyn bay, hedd wyn,

a welsh poet killed on the first day of the battle of passchendaele. "hedd wyn" means "blessed peace." the tide eventually took away the faces, but not the memories, as the nation once again promised to never forget. and that was such a beautiful idea, the portraits on the beaches. and that was such a beautiful idea, the portraits on the beachesm and that was such a beautiful idea, the portraits on the beaches. it is just the footage, isn't it, and the fa ct just the footage, isn't it, and the fact that tide washes it away, as well. it is beautifully conceived. in september we previewed the latest film by hollywood director peterjackson, a special project for the armistice commemorations. well, that film, they shall not grow old, was on bbc two last night. it was a moving combination of veterans' voices and original archive footage, which brought the reality of war to life. here is the moment the film changes

from black—and—white to colour. we were relieving men of the 28th division, and as they passed us, we would say what is it like a deck? the reply invariably came back, bloody awful, mate. they came back with their tails bloody awful, mate. they came back with theirtails up, bloody awful, mate. they came back with their tails up, all right, but ididn't with their tails up, all right, but i didn't know what to expect, just hadn't a clue. it was deadly warfare. you are facing the germans. follow me. you got the order load, you put nine in your magazine and one up the spout, and you put the safety catch on, and you always went into the lion prepared to use your rifle immediately. that was when we got rigid orders, no talking whatsoever, keep your head down, single file, no smoking. the captain would then directors to the front

trenches. and there was something about it, because they have worked on it to change it to colour, i don't know what it is about it, to make it so real now. it is also the change of the pacing, when you see it as it would have been at the time, the pacing was slightly unnatural, and so pacing was slightly unnatural, and so many people have commented on that. mike says the addition of colour and the normalisation of the pace of the film makes it so much more real. it is not like watching distant history, it is so much more reality. june says what strikes me as they all smile so much in spite of what they are experiencing, it is awe—inspiring. of what they are experiencing, it is awe-inspiring. phillip says a truly sobering programme which brings the reality of war to life. it is on bbc iplayer so you can have a look at it later today. hinkley point in somerset is the first nuclear power station to be built in the uk in more than 20 years and will create over 25,000 jobs.

this is the scene there this morning, where you can really see the scale of the project. construction is currently under way and by the time it's finished in 2025 it will have used three million tons of concrete. victoria is at the site of the new reactor for us. good morning to you. it is not everyday you get to stand on the site the first new nuclear power station, new nuclear reactor, in fa ct, station, new nuclear reactor, in fact, in a generation. more than 20 yea rs. as fact, in a generation. more than 20 years. as you say, a huge amount of concrete going into this. this big circle here is going to take 4500 tons of concrete... where the nuclear fission tons of concrete... where the nuclearfission happens, tons of concrete... where the nuclear fission happens, where tons of concrete... where the nuclearfission happens, where the magic happens, and where we get the energy from. what we are working on at the moment is reinforcement, you can see some of the workers here working on reinforcement of this. of course. . . working on reinforcement of this. of course... as you can probably hear, we have a few technical difficulties. we can see the

pictures but we can't really hear victoria. so one out of two wasn't ideal. lots to look forward to in the programme. we have michael buble, and paul whitehouse, who is playing the grandfather in only fool ‘s and horses. he has been writing it with his son, and paul whitehouse is in it as well. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. the driver of a bus which crashed in croydon yesterday afternoon, leaving a teenage girl in a critical condition, has been arrested on suspicion of being under the influence of drugs. a number of people were injured when the 198 bus collided with a car, another bus, and hit a shelter in west croydon. the 15—year—old remains in hospital. black cab drivers are being advised

to stay clear of the lisson grove, area in maida vale, after a number of attacks on their vehicles. the latest incident happened a week ago, when a cone was thrown ata cab. police have received thousands of calls relating to antisocial behaviour around london this month alone. it has been suggested that the dangers of knives and gangs should be taught in primary school. the government's victims commissioner, baroness newlove, has told a newspaper that in she believes the signs of young people being at risk of becoming involved in gangs can be seen in children as young as seven. one of the world's most exclusive tea shops has made over 500 rare and expensive teas available to the public for the first time at their shop in east london. the london tea exchange on brick lane revealed the teas, including a brand new mayor's tea in honour of london mayor sadiq khan and future mayors of london. this tea is the special tea, it is a

oolong, and it is a ceremonial quality oolong, and when you grow it it is blue in colour and then it changes into red, so we thought why not? let's take a look at the travel situation now. there are delays on the circle and district lines, because of a signal failure, and tfl rail has delays due to a faulty train near paddington earlier. in westminster, bridge street is closed between parliament square and victoria embankment. that is for security work going on until next month. now the weather, with kate. good morning. it's a reasonably mild start out there this morning, and in fact for the next few days the temperature is going to remain mild, especially considering it's mid—november. now, for today, further heavy showers just to follow

on from the weekend, but between them, some really heavy spells of sunshine. the showers coming up from the south, you mightjust see a flash of lightning in one or two during the afternoon. that sunshine actually feeling quite pleasant. still the risk of a shower, though, the temperatures getting up to about 14 celsius. now, overnight, further showers moving out from the south and the west. again, you mightjust hear a rumble or two of thunder. a gusty breeze will develop, as well, but that will start to clear those showers away from the early hours. the minimum temperature around seven or eight celsius, so another mild night. now, once those showers clear, we're looking at a fine start tomorrow morning. plenty of sunshine around for tuesday, a much drier picture as we head through the rest of the week. lots of sunshine, and temperatures again quite impressive for the middle of november. mid—teens by thursday, we are looking at somewhere around 16 celsius. va nessa vanessa feltz is on bbc radio london with her breakfast show, and i will be back in half an hour.

hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news: several members of the cabinet expressed significant doubts from the start about theresa may's chequers brexit plan, which they agreed to support during a meeting injuly, the bbc has been told. ministers described the proposal, which involves maintaining close ties with the eu, as worrying, disappointing and concerning. the former foreign secretary, borisjohnson, who resigned three days after the meeting, is urging the cabinet to mutiny as mrs may calls for mps to back her final position. 31 people have lost their lives in the most destructive wildfires in californian history. 228 people remain unaccounted for and more than 250,000 have been forced to flee their homes. the latest update comes as the governor of california has urged president trump to declare a major disaster, which would release federal emergency funds. more than 3,000 firefighters are battling the flames, which are being driven by hot dry winds. last night more than

1,000 beacons were lit across britian as part of commemorative events marking the 100th anniversary of the armistice that ended the first world war. the queen, along with other members of the royal family, joined a 2,000 strong congregation for a special remembrance service at westminster abbey. flowers were laid at the grave of the unknown warrior, whose body was brought from france in 1920. the family of a man who was killed with his one—year—old son in a car crash in sheffield on friday night have described him as a loving father. adnan ashraf jarral, who was 35, and his son usman died when their people carrier collided with another vehicle, which had been pursued by police. husband and wife miroslave duna and vlasta dunova were also killed in the crash. scottish wind turbines generated the equivalent of 98% of all the electricity needed in scotland last month. the most productive day was the 23rd october,

when turbines created enough energy to power more than 8.5 million homes — more than three times the demand, according to analysis by wwf scotland. i paused because that is your favourite picture of the day with the horse next to the wind turbine. i love that picture of the horse and i was speculating whether someone who got those pictures over the night decided to put the horse in. did you get an answer on that? no, it was looking at the wind turbine. there was one in the picture. and these are quite extraordinary pictures as well. hundreds of cadets from japan's military academy have taken part in one of the nation's great spectacles. this is the annual bo—taoshi, or topple the pole event, it's a century—old game, combining elements of rugby, sumo and martial arts. two teams of around 70 cadets battle to defend or attack a pole in a game designed to promote

teamwork and toughness. to win, the attacking team must lower the tip of the pole close to the ground within 90 seconds. you can see... they are fighting. they are brawling down the bottom. 0h, they are brawling down the bottom. oh, my goodness. normally there are some injuries, but this year there we re some injuries, but this year there were no injuries, which was great news. it is not quite like that. i think it would be great to watch that, don't you reckon? yes, yes, although people having severe injuries is not a great way to stop the sport. ushered injoke injuries is not a great way to stop the sport. ushered in joke about the manchester derby, it was a bit like that, no, iwouldn't, that would be in really bad taste. good morning. yes, good morning. i know you love a stat. good morning, everybody. 65% possession, united had one shot on target — that was a pen.

yes, you didn't see it, that was dan'sface, everybody. city beat united 3—1 in the manchester derby and now have a 2 point lead over liverpool at the top of the the premier league. city were 2—0 up after 50 minutes with goals from david silva and sergio aguero. anthony martial scored a penalty for united, but a superb passing move was finished of by ilkay gundogan for his side's third. we felt all the players wanted to make a good performance against united. city was always below united. they wanted to play good for our fans for what happened. and they felt not too comfortable. the second half was much better. mo salah scored his sixth league goal of the season as liverpool beat fulham 2—0 at anfield. fulham are bottom of the table. liverpool second. chelsea kept their unbeaten run but could only draw 0—0 with everton, whose keeperjordan pickford made a number of saves to earn his side an away point.

where is he? there he is. henrikh mkhitaryan scored a late equaliser against wolves at the emirates to stretch arsenal's unbeaten run to 16 matches. the gunners are fifth, three points behind tottenham. celtic moved top of the scottish premiership on goal difference from hearts after a 0—0 draw away to livingston. it was a bit more lively at ibrox, where rangers thumped motherwell 7—1 to go third. scott arfield and eros grezda both scored twice. rangers are just two points behind celtic. there was pushing and shoving on and off the track, as lewis hamilton won the brazilian grand prix. he's already reatined his world title. max verstappen was leading and on course for a superb win until he was taken out by esteban ocon, who was well behind in the race. hamilton took full advantage to take the win and guarantee merecedes the constructors title. verstappen was obviously not

best pleased with ocon, and after the race sought out the frenchman and proceeded the push him a few times in the weighing room. as a result, he's been given two days' public service by the sport's governing body. verstappen says he has no regrets. properly badtempered. the opening day of the atp finals in london produced a big shock with kei nishikori beating roger federer. nishikori had never beaten federer indoors, but took the first set on a tie break and claimed the second 6—3. the format is round robin, so federer, who has won the end of year tournament six times, could still reach the final. i've been feeling, i mean, fine. it is just that practice has been a bit all over the place, you know. practising in queens, the outside courts, then on centre as well, so it's not always the same conditions. but overall i thought i am hitting the ball ok up to today it was totally fine. so i think we both had a bit of nerves too. 0h,

oh, bless you. sorry. sorry. silent sneezing happening again, isn't it? have a look at this, this will stop the sneezes. this is good. it is great. lee westwood got really, really... animated. now, finally, southampton's charlie austin has put forward an impassioned case for the video assistant referee system to be introduced into the premier league. have a listen. twice he hit me. the best league in the world, give them all the help they can. it is a joke. we have worked hard, come here to get three points. they have been let down by the officials. he is even injune. that is amazing, that, isn't it? i am trying to find

the name so we can give him credit. ryan butterworth. yes, thank you. he has put a lot of work into that. genius. it is still trending. now it definitely will be. thank you. more on our top story — it's emerged this morning that members of the cabinet were already calling theresa may's brexit strategy worrying and disappointing when they first agreed to support it at chequers back injuly. the prime minister has come under increasing pressure this weekend with remainers and brexiteers alike criticising her position. the former education secretary justine greening has accused mrs may of planning the "biggest giveaway of sovereignty in modern times" and joins us from our london newsroom. good morning to you. thank you very much forjoining us. there is quite a lot to talk to you about. let's talk to you about the information coming out that they were expressing doubts at the start. how useful is that for the prime minister for people to be briefing that our?” a lwa ys people to be briefing that our?” always believed in cabinet

collective responsibility and i think have met ministers really ought to be outselling government policy rather than undermining it from the sidelines. —— government ministers. i have always been clear about where i stand. i am a backbench mp. so i have been surprised to read all of this in the papers today. tell us about what impact that will have on the prime minister. she is negotiating this right now. what impact does that have on other european leaders and her? clearly she needs to be able to continue with the negotiation. my personal view on this deal is it is the worst of all worlds. as i have said it leaves us less in control of the rules that shape our day—to—day lives and businesses. i don't think it isa lives and businesses. i don't think it is a good deal. the bottom line is she should be able to expect support from her cabinet. what should the cabinet ministers do? should they resign? every mp in

parliament clearly has to decide what stand they are going to take on the deal that the government is putting before mps to vote on. my view is that this deal is giving away control rather than taking back control. it is not something that i can support. it is the worst of all worlds. i believe parliament is gridlock. that was the conclusion i reached back injuly. it is incumbent on all mps now to really look at what we need to do collectively to help steer britain through the next very difficult moment in the months that lie ahead. i don't see the deal getting through parliament. parliament will vote against quite rightly any no deal departure. and the meaningful vote that everyone is talking about mps having actually should be taken by people. people should have the right to choose whether or not they think the prime minister's deal is a good one. and between that and the other

two options and deals, the deal that we currently have, with the eu, or of course leaving on wto rules. i don't think parliament can take that decision. i think people are the only ones who can now break the deadlock. so you would like a different vote and you say on three different vote and you say on three different parts to the vote. is there are enough time if that were to happen, could that happen? parliament i think needs to realise it is gridlock and only people can break that gridlock. we should give people the final say. that is the only practical option. what do you say to people who think they have already had the final say?” say to people who think they have already had the final say? i would say that the prime minister and his government is not actually delivering on that brexit referendum result. i don't believe this is the brexit that people who voted leave wa nted brexit that people who voted leave wanted and i think that there is no other way for them to have their say either than through being able to vote at the ballot box. and i think

we have three clear choices ahead of this as a country, we can stay with the existing deal, we can go with the existing deal, we can go with the pm's deal, if that's what they want, thenjust the pm's deal, if that's what they want, then just because the pm's deal, if that's what they want, thenjust because i don't want it, i don't think that should be... it should be up to the british public to decide what they want. and if they want a clean break, and i don't think the pm's deal is giving us don't think the pm's deal is giving us that, they should have the opportunity to pick that as well. every single election we ever have in this country... there are loads of options of candidates on the ballot paper for people to pick from. so the sense that somehow if it is more than two choices it is incredibly complicated i just think thatis incredibly complicated i just think that is plain wrong. i also think that is plain wrong. i also think that binary politics leads to division and that is what we have seen division and that is what we have seenin division and that is what we have seen in the us and with the mid—term results. i don't think actually a binary choice is that british. we like to give people more than two choices. i think it is the best way of making sure that we can actually pick the right course for britain going forward but also we can do

that in a way that gives people a chance to come back together as a country chance to come back together as a cou ntry afterwards. chance to come back together as a country afterwards. ijust chance to come back together as a country afterwards. i just want to ask your question about if it were to go to the commons and the minister would lose the vote in the commons, should she resign? not necessarily, no. idon't commons, should she resign? not necessarily, no. i don't think this is about, in a sense, her ability as a leader. she has gone out to try to get the very best deal possible. she has tried to strike a deal that ta kes has tried to strike a deal that takes us out of the eu while mitigating the worst impact on the economy. i think in the end it is a deal that ends up being the worst of all worlds. i don't agree with it. i don't support it. i think it gives away control rather than taking it back. i don't particularly think another leader would have an easier approach. and i also don't think they would get their deal through parliament either. i think we know what the choices are now facing the united kingdom. ithink what the choices are now facing the united kingdom. i think the british people should be allowed to make the

final decision on which of those routes they want to take. justine greening, thank you for your time this morning. here is carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning, all. this morning it isa good morning, all. this morning it is a relatively mild start to the day for many parts of the uk, except the highlands, where it is cold. as we go through the day it will be breezy with a mix of sunshine and showers. a lot of us will get away with a dry day with sunny spells. a lot of showers already this morning peppering the north and the west, and a line of showery rain which may creep kent and east anglia in the next couple of hours before it moves away. our front next couple of hours before it moves away. ourfront in next couple of hours before it moves away. our front in the west drift eastwards, taking a number of showers with it, and as you can see from the isobars, they are not tightly packed but they are close together. through the course of the morning we have showers in the west. some of those will be heavy and thundery, fewer across northern ireland, some of them drifting

towards the midland through the day. however front drawing close to anglia and kent will bring clouds. right skies, showers continuing in the west. for northern ireland, you will have some patchy sunny spells and a few showers. for north—west england, wales, south—west england and southern counties into the midlands this afternoon, we could catch the odd shower. further east, dry and brighter. temperatures 12 to 14. as we head to the evening and overnight, a breezy one to come. the first half of the night sees a lot of showers, the second half sees some of the showers tending to ease isa some of the showers tending to ease is a ridge of high pressure starts to build them. some rain across the far south—east. a chilly night across the north—east of scotland, but generally speaking we are looking at six to about eight as our overnight lows in and cities. tomorrow we start off with those showers. there will be a peppering of them in the west, not all of us seeing them, but tomorrow with high—pressure among us, we're

looking at a dry day with sunny spells. temperatures very similar to today. later in the day the cloud will thicken across western scotland and northern ireland, heralding the arrival of our next system, which will be bringing in some rain. that rain overnight tuesday into wednesday will move across scotland, northern england and parts of wales, so northern england and parts of wales, so the driest conditions on wednesday itself will be further south and south—east. we are looking at some sunshine, but it will brighten up across wales, for example, as we go through the course of the afternoon. one of the main things about wednesday is the temperature will be mild to very mild for the stage in november. widely we are looking at 14 to 15, locally we could even hit 16. on thursday a lot of dry weather around once again. patchy cloud here and there, still some sunshine. however front pushes out to the west, affecting the outer hebrides and the northern isles. once again we have this southerly breeze coming up from the near continent. we are looking

at 11 to about 15, but towards the end of the week what we need to look out for is fog. do you know what time it is? it is 7:48am this morning.” do you know what time it is? it is 7:48am this morning. i thought that was a test! hinkley point in somerset is the first nuclear power station to be built in the uk in more than 20 years, and will create over 25,000 jobs. this is the scene there this morning, where you can really see the scale of the project. construction is currently underway, and by the time it is finished, in 2025, it will have used 3 million tonnes of concrete. victoria is at the site of the new reactor for us. it is unbelievable, the scale of this. it is extraordinary to think that ten years ago this was a field, this was a farmer's field, and the amount of work that has already been done on this project. the senior director overseeing the civil aviation is doctor sarah williamson.

let us know how difficult yourjob is, when you come into work and you have to organise a project of this magnitude. well, iwouldn't have to organise a project of this magnitude. well, i wouldn't say difficult, it is certainly exciting. if you want to think about the scale of what are doing here, the construction site is one kilometre wide, two kilometres deep, the stuff you can see behind us, the reinforcing steel, will place 250,000 tons of that, that is about the weight of 250,000 elephants, and if you look around us you can perhaps see some of the tower cranes. if you are used to seeing construction sites you will see one or two tower cranes, we will have 54 spread across the entire project. or two tower cranes, we will have 54 spread across the entire projectm the world's biggest one coming next year. that's right, the world's a guest year. that's right, the world's a gu est tower year. that's right, the world's a guest tower crane will be arriving on site next year, that can lift 1000 tons at 100m, absolutely huge. in addition, another interesting fa ct

in addition, another interesting fact about this site, if anyone understand how many football pitches there are in london, we could fit every single one of them onto our project. so we have a huge project to deliver, and a massive responsibility not just to to deliver, and a massive responsibility notjust to the nuclear industry but to the construction industry. a huge project, best of luck with it. that crane incidentally is called carl. i wonder who came up with that idea? anyway, i want to tell you a bit of the history of nuclear energy and how we got to this point. the nuclear option — it might generate strong opinions, butjust how much energy does it generate? the world's first full—scale atomic power station was opened at calder hall by the queen in 1956. all of us here know that we are present at the making of history. by the 1970s, there were 11 stations, and the uk soon dominated the industry. 1997 was the peak — nuclear accounted for 27% of all our electricity. but delays to gas reactors and leaks dented the uk's reputation. there are 15 reactors left,

but by 2035, all of these will have been retired. so what next for nuclear in the uk? that is the big question, isn't it? what next for nuclear and can sarah and her team deliver on—time and on with me is neil hurst, a policy fellow at imperial college. one of the questions about this is the huge financial cost, but also the opportunity cost of not going after other things, other renewables, for example. yes, most people would prefer that we should rely entirely on renewables, but of course the wind doesn't blow all the time, the sun doesn't shine, and at the moment we have limited ability to store electricity. so until that changes

we will need to have a source of reliable electricity as part of our reliable electricity as part of our reliable low carbon electricity mix to meet our targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. and at the moment nuclear— power looks like greenhouse gas emissions. and at the moment nuclear—power looks like the best bet for providing that. in the mid—term, do you think written can actually survive without nuclear? —— britain. it will be very difficult to meet our targets without nuclear power, that's right, unless there was a spectacular breakthrough in the storage of electricity, which is possible, or perhaps unless the alternative technology of storing the emissions takes leaps forward, but at the moment nuclear—power stations are the proven option that we have available. and lots of people are concerned about the funding, not least people like toshiba, for example, he decided to pull the plug on their project

because they have run into financial difficulties. does there need to be an overhaul in the way that these sorts of projects are financed in order to ensure continued backing for them? yes, the will the project is talking about putting government money into the project and they are also talking about for instance sizewell c, to run it more as a regulated project, which would mean more regular payments from government. the way they have funded this, leaving the private sector to fund it until it starts to produce electricity, has been a costly option. let's bring in doug from greenpeace. interesting comments about it being public infrastructure, whether it should be funded ina infrastructure, whether it should be funded in a different way, but that raises issues around security, national security. well, i think there are a number of different... well, what we are seeing with

nuclear power stations, it tends to be overseas companies who are doing them, because we don't have a uk indigenous industry. so yes, there certainly have been questions raised about the chinese, for example, and whether we should take control of it ourselves. none of that deals with the fundamental question of whether it is the right thing to do or not, because we can't do it on our own. nuclear bills itself as the low carbon option, is it really? nuclear is low carbon, i don't question that. even if you consider all the concrete being poured into the site right now? two well, even big scale renewa bles right now? two well, even big scale renewables have their own large scale of steel and concrete requirements. i don't dispute the fa ct requirements. i don't dispute the fact that it is a low carbon option. what i would dispute is whether the unique hazards it poses and the costs are the right choice for the

uk. there is radiation, discharges, and you can never discount the possibility of a major accident, and whether it is the right case for the uk, but internationally as well. thank you for your thoughts. controversial, costly certainly, and it is not just controversial, costly certainly, and it is notjust the controversial, costly certainly, and it is not just the financial cost. there is the financial cost and also the opportunity cost lots of people are pointing to as well in terms of not pursuing other strategies. at the moment it provides 21% of nuclear energy to meet our energy demands, and as those demands continue to rise, how do we feel that future? lots more questions and hopefully some more answers throughout the rest of the programme. singer michael buble has been back in the recording studio for the first time in two years with an determinedly upbeat new album, after a difficult time for his family. we will have the full interview in around an hour, but for now, here is breakfast‘s tim muffett catching up with michael as he gives the buble treatment to some classic christmas number ones. i think there are some former number

ones which could use a little bit of bublification. christmas number one in the year 2000 — bob the builder, can we fix it. # bob the builder — can we fix it? # hell, yeah. that set. 1984 christmas number one — mr blobby. # you could call me buble or blobby # depending on the diet i'm eating at the time. what a good sport, michael buble.” think buble for christmas number one. with blobby or bob the builder.

time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. the driver of a bus which crashed in croydon yesterday afternoon, leaving a teenage girl in a critical condition, has been arrested on suspicion of being under the influence of drugs. a number of people were injured when the 198 bus collided with a car, another bus, and hit a shelter in west croydon. the 15—year—old remains in hospital. black cab drivers are being advised to stay clear of the lisson grove area, in maida vale, after a number of attacks on their vehicles. the latest incident happened a week ago, when a cone was thrown ata cab. police have received thousands of calls relating to antisocial behaviour around london this month alone. our advice to our members is simple. lisson grove is not a safe area, lisson grove estate in particular. our advice to members is not to come to this area, if they are driving through,

to keep the doors and windows locked, and to be very, very wary. if it's not safe for the police, it's not safe for my members. it has been suggested that the dangers of knives and gangs should be taught in primary school. the government's victims commissioner, baroness newlove, has told a newspaper that she believes the signs of young people being at risk of becoming involved in gangs can be seen in children as young as seven. one of the world's most exclusive tea shops has made over 500 rare and expensive teas available to the public for the first time at their shop in east london. the london tea exchange on brick lane revealed the teas, including a brand new mayor's tea, in honour of london mayor sadiq khan and future mayors of london. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there are delays on the circle and district lines because of a signalfailure, and tfl rail has delays due to a faulty train near paddington earlier. in westminster, bridge street is closed between parliament square

and victoria embankment. that is for security work going on until next month. and in greenwich, there are three—way temporary traffic lights in place on greenwich south street, causing long delays. now the weather, with kate. good morning. it's a reasonably mild start out there this morning, and in fact for the next few days. the temperature is going to remain mild, especially considering it's mid—november. now, for today, further heavy showers just to follow on from the weekend, but also between them, some really lovely spells of sunshine. the showers coming up from the south, you mightjust see a flash of lightning in one or two during the afternoon. that sunshine actually feeling quite pleasant. still the risk of a shower, though, the temperatures getting up to about 14 celsius. now, overnight, further showers moving out from the south and the west. again, you mightjust hear a rumble or two of thunder. a gusty breeze will develop, as well, but that will start to clear those showers away from the early hours. the minimum temperature around seven or eight celsius, so another mild night. now, once those showers clear, we're looking at a fine

start tomorrow morning. plenty of sunshine around for tuesday, a much drier picture as we head through the rest of the week. lots of sunshine, and temperatures again quite impressive for the middle of november. mid—teens by thursday, we are looking at somewhere around 16 celsius. va nessa vanessa feltz has her breakfast show until ten vanessa feltz has her breakfast show untilten a.m.. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. good morning and welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today at 8am: senior cabinet ministers had serious doubts about theresa may's brexit plan from the start, as boris johnson calls for a cabinet mutiny. more than 31 people are now known to have died in the most destructive wildfires california has ever seen. more than 200 are still missing. how a nation remembers. hundreds of thousands pay their respects to the fallen

of the great war on the centenary of the armistice. assessing the nuclear option. with questions being outstayed the future of planned plant in cumbria and ethics, what does the outlook for nuclear energy in britain really look like? iam for nuclear energy in britain really look like? i am at the sight of the next new nuclear reactor plant to find out more. in sport: city looked like they enjoyed the manchester derby. the premier league leaders beat united 3—1. their third goal seemed like a stroll in the park. the relatively mild start for most of the country. some breeze and showers, the heaviest of which will be in the west. and paul white house tells us why he is making a stage version of one of britain's favourite tv shows. good morning. it's monday 12th november.

our top story: several members of the cabinet expressed significant doubts from the start about theresa may's chequers brexit plan which they agreed to support during a meeting injuly, the bbc has been told. the former foreign secretary, borisjohnson, writing in today's daily telegraph, is urging the cabinet to mutiny. our political correspondent chris masonjoins us now from westminster. many of our viewers are delighted that in the last hour you said there are some things you just do not know the answer to. honesty from a political correspondent! well, i try my best. there is a huge amount we simply don't know about what will happen in the brexit process. let me tell you what we do know that is the news this morning. that is there is a lot of concern around the cabinet table. back in the summer at chequers, the prime minister's country retreat, the vision for brexit was signed off and then two members walked out a couple of days later, borisjohnson members walked out a couple of days

later, boris johnson and members walked out a couple of days later, borisjohnson and david davis. it turns out a lot of voices around the table didn't like it. savage abbas, a remain supportive, didn't like itand savage abbas, a remain supportive, didn't like it and the chancellor philip hammond didn't like it. esther mcvey and penny mordaunt, brexiteers, they were worried as well. yes, they signed it off but there was a deep level of concern. downing street says there has got to become eyes on all sides to get the deal but we know that the eu didn't like the proposals either. —— that has got to be compromise. and now borisjohnson has has got to be compromise. and now boris johnson has weighed has got to be compromise. and now borisjohnson has weighed in with his newspaper column. boris johnson, here is the latest edition, talking about surrender and shameful proposals. the latest chapter of a column that basically says the same thing it has said every week since july, which is that he thinks the government's plan is rubbish. so where are we in this whole brexit process ? where are we in this whole brexit process? i am where are we in this whole brexit process? iam meant where are we in this whole brexit process? i am meant to offer foresight, insight and hindsight, and all those weighty things but frankly i haven't got the foggiest

idea what will happen next. anybody who claims that they do is talking bobbins. if the government going to get a deal that it can agree on with the european union? who knows? probably... slashed possibly. and can it get it through the commons if it gets to a big photo couple of weeks later? probably not would be my best guess. —— a big vote a couple of weeks later. i don't know and nobody does know and there is an awful lot at stake. thank you. so bobbins is the outcome? definitely bobbins! thank you. 31 people have lost their lives in the most destructive wildfires in californian history. 228 people remain unaccounted for and more than a quarter of a million others have been forced to flee their homes. the latest update comes as the governor of california has urged president trump to declare a major disaster, which would

release federal emergency funds. our north america corresponent james cook sent us this report from los angeles. paradise is no more, ravaged by the most destructive wildfire in california's history, and one of the deadliest. in the ashes they toil. their task, distressing and delicate, is to find answers for the living. i have two sons and two grandchildren up there. i can't find out anything about them. i don't know if they're all right or if they got out. and the crisis is far from over. 250,000 people have fled, and 80,000 firefighters are struggling to save everything. well, the owners of this home were clearly unlucky, but firefighters have been working really hard in this community. they've been battling, they've had aircraft in the sky as well, and their work has been paying off. so far, they have saved many, many more homes than they have lost.

in the us this year, wildfires have burned an area larger than belgium and luxembourg combined, well above average. i'm surrounded by fire. faced with catastrophe, president trump's first comment was a threat to cut california's funding if it didn't improve forest management. the president of the firefighters' union called it shameless, ill—informed and demeaning. after a brief lull, the dusty desert winds which drive these fires are roaring again. and with more homes and lives at risk, the governor of california is urging the white house to declare a major disaster. james cook, bbc news, los angeles. unbelievable pictures coming to us from california this morning. last night more than 1000 beacons were lit across britain as part of commemorative events marking the 100th anniversary of the armistice that ended the first world war. the queen was joined by other

members of the royal family at a special remembrance service at westminster abbey, as our royal correspondent nicholas witchell reports. it was the day britain remembered a warfrom a century ago. at westminster abbey last night, the queen stood with the german president as flowers were laid at the grave of the unknown warrior, the anonymous soldier whose body had been brought back from the western front to lie in a place of honour and represent all those british servicemen who'd lost their lives in the great war. earlier, at the cenotaph, britain's national memorial to its war dead, the queen had watched from a balcony as britain's political leaders had taken their positions in readiness for the two—minute silence when those who died in the two world wars and more recent conflicts are remembered. the last post plays. after the sounding of the last post, the prince of wales laid the queen's wreath.

he was followed by other members of the royal family. and then, after the formal wreath—laying and the veterans' march past came the people's march, an opportunity for 10,000 people to pay their own often personal tributes to ancestors they'd never known but whose memory they cherish. a century may have passed since the great war ended. no more are there witnesses who can testify from personal experience to its horrors, but britain showed once again that the will to remember remains strong. nicholas witchell, bbc news. there were also some really spectacular remembrance events held across the uk, which people attended in their thousands. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin will have more on that shortly. i'm sure you may have gone to some of them. and lots of reflections as well on the peterjackson programme on bbc two last night. they shall

not grow old. it is only available on bbc iplayerfor six not grow old. it is only available on bbc iplayer for six days, not grow old. it is only available on bbc iplayerfor six days, so if you'd like to watch it, it is on for one week. the family of a man who was killed with his one year old son in a car crash in sheffield on friday night have described him as a loving father. adnan ashraf jarral, who was 35, and his son, usman, died when their people carrier collided with another vehicle, which had been pursued by police. husband and wife miroslave duna and vlasta dunova were also killed in the crash. an inquest into the deaths of 10 people shot dead by british soldiers 47 years ago will open later in belfast. an initial investigation into what's known as the ballymurphy massacre cleared the soldiers involved, and referred to the unarmed civilians who died as gunmen. families say they've fought long and hard forjustice and hope to get some form of truth. the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, has said he will press the saudi authorities on the murder ofjamal khashoggi during a visit to the country today. mr hunt will ask for full cooperation with the turkish investigation and is expected to say

it is unacceptable that the circumstances behind his death still remain unclear. the saudi journalist was murdered at the country's consulate in istanbul six weeks ago, but no one has been charged. a veterinary campaign group has accused the government of telling bare faced lies about the effectiveness of the ongoing badger cull in southwest england. the prion interest group said that government claims of a reduced number of bovine tb cases in cattle as a result of the cull was badly wrong. the department for environment, food and rural affairs said it is the right approach and has had a positive impact. scottish wind turbines generated the equivalent of 98 per cent of all the electricity needed in scotland last month. the most productive day was the 23rd october, when turbines created enough energy to power more than 8.5 million homes, more than three times the demand,

according to analysis by wwf scotland. from the people's procession to the faces of the fallen etched in the sand, yesterday we saw some spectacular armistice commemorations. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin takes a look at how the nation remembered 100 years since the end of the first world war. they lit beacons to symbolise an end to the darkness of war, to remember the moment the bullets stopped, to remember those who had fallen, and those who had brought their stories home. they said the war is over. i said, "he's gone mad." they said, "listen, it's saying the war finishes this morning." the war is over. we just couldn't believe it. it was so unreal. and we very soon found ourselves picking our way over the bodies of men who'd fallen in the earlier

attacks that morning. yes, it was a dreadful experience, there's no doubt about that. still, those of us who survived think ourselves jolly lucky. corporal edward glendinning and the other great war veterans have long gone, but their photographs were held with pride as relatives marched past the cenotaph in a people's parade. these are my grandfather's medals and my great uncle's. this is for my grandfather and this is for my uncle. very emotional marching along and thinking about them, and thinking about everybody else. what a privilege, a real honour. so yeah, proud to have been here on this day. it was great. in cirencester, more than 3000 people formed this human poppy to give thanks. around five million left these shores to fight. close to 900,000 never returned.

some of the faces of those fallen were etched into the sand. in folkestone, war poet wilfred owen, killed days before armistice. his mother received news the very day the guns stopped. in northern ireland, john mccance, a rifleman with no known grave. in ayr, walter tull, the first black officer in the british army. in colwyn bay, hedd wyn, a welsh poet killed on the first day of the battle of passchendaele. "hedd wyn" means "blessed peace". the tide eventually took away the faces, but not the memories, as the nation once again promised to never forget. some of that footage is just

amazing, isn't it? let's talk to somebody who has been involved. we're joined now byjenny waldman, director of the arts organisation 14—18 now which was commissioned to organise some of the armistice events. good morning to you. thank you so much forjoining us. so many different events and so touching, so many of them. i know that you are involved with all of this. which was the one that you liked the most? oh, thatis the one that you liked the most? oh, that is so hard to say, but i think there were a number that reallyjust touched everyone and caught the pulse of the nation. i think back to jeremy browne aggro post about the soldiers on the first day of the battle of the somme, the film last night, and then on the beaches with danny boyle. that was quite a moment. it has been a long process because the armistice yesterday was

the climax of four years of commemoration, which started with the poppies pouring out of the tower. yes, and on the 4th of august 2014, when right here we had a beautiful column of light and we we re beautiful column of light and we were inviting everyone to turn their lights out for the last hour before the centenary. and we have been touring the poppies since 2015, since they finished at the tower of london. it has been a long four and a half yea rs london. it has been a long four and a half years of magnificent artists' work. the number of people who have got involved in this, we have been marvelling at the beach project and danny boyle's involvement in that. there's anybody need persuading? as soon as you there's anybody need persuading? as soon as you mention it, do they sign up, ready? i think soon as you mention it, do they sign up, ready? ithink artists soon as you mention it, do they sign up, ready? i think artists have a lwa ys up, ready? i think artists have always had a real interest in archiving and delving into history and contemporary artists can really tell us about the world around us today. and that is what14—18 now has been doing with artists

throughout the centenary, working with artists to look at the world around us, what we can learn from 100 years ago and what more we can learn. we think it is a war we can all learn a lot about but i got a beautiful email yesterday from a young man who had watched the peter jackson film, and he said it felt for him as if it was the first time he began to understand what those men must have been going through. he began to understand what those men must have been going throughm a couple of moments we will show people who have not seen it a clip from the film. we are talking about these beautiful poignant portraits on the beaches. how was that conceived and how was it done?m was danny boyle's idea to invite eve ryo ne was danny boyle's idea to invite everyone to a beach. he wanted us to look out to the sea, thinking about the men and some women who went away to their fates during the first world war. almost all of them went by c. he had this beautiful idea of portraits in the sand and we have a brilliant sand artist called sand in your eye who created them with

volu nteers your eye who created them with volunteers up at 4 o'clock in the morning and we'll have your virginity to make our own with stencils and then to read carol ann duffy's poem together on the beaches. and it is amazing to watch them getting washed away by the tide. and you mentioned the peter jackson programme which so many people watched and were moved by. this was the part of the programme where soldiers described life away from the front line. the men were cheerful, under the circumstances, as happy as they could be, making the best of everything, in true british fashion. the cockney wit was prevalent. we were all lads together, you know. we didn't care. we would make a fuss about nothing, the little things that didn't matter really, because it was something to fill the time in. we used to have to make our own amusements. we laughed

at the slightest things. i think probably it was the general lightening of the atmosphere. probably it was the general lightening of the atmospherem probably it was the general lightening of the atmosphere. it is so lightening of the atmosphere. it is so touching to watch it. the fact that it so touching to watch it. the fact thatitis so touching to watch it. the fact that it is coloured and put at a natural speed. this is one comment from a guy called jeremy hunt got in contact with us. i felt exhausted after watching it. how is it possible to comprehend the reality? the next generation will be the first not to have a connection to those who fought in the war. they need to understand what people did for us. he used the hashtags true sacrifice. that is one of the main reasons for the programme you have put in place over four years. yes, i think it is exactly that. there is a whole generation now who don't even have a grandparent who fought or lived through that time or had a pa rent lived through that time or had a parent themselves who lived through that time. we need to make a new connection. i think artists can really make an emotional connection with us, get to some kind of truth that we really feel. and then to find out more. one of the wonderful things that peterjackson said after

he had done his months and months of research, looking through hundreds of hours of film and audio footage, is that he really hopes that the film will make people want to find out what their family connection is with the first world war and find out more about how it affected their families and communities. great to talk to you. thank you so much. our behalf of everybody who has been to watch it, thank you for all the work. it has been stunning. thank you very much. they shall not grow old, that film, if you did not see it it is on the bbc iplayer but only for a week and if you have not watched it, it is very beautiful. just find it. the tone of everything at the weekend was spot on, all the various commemorations. it has been a great weekend to look back and remember. it is 8:19am. carol can tell is all about the weather. it has been miles this morning. it certainly has across most of the uk but for some of us it has been wet.

we have this beautiful picture from anglesey. some of us are looking at heavy rain. we are looking at sunshine and showers with the showers merging to give longer spells of rain as we have seen in anglesey. many of us will miss the showers but it will be breezy. this line of rain, not too far from east anglia and kent, we might see the odd spot from that, but a plethora of showers in the west and some of them getting into the south. this weather front through the day will move eastwards, taking some showers with it, and we will see heavier showers later on tonight across the far south—east. this morning we have got the risk of shari ate grapes of rain across east anglia and kent with the cloud building. —— showery outbreaks of rain. a noticeable breeze as well. a lot of dry weather and afair breeze as well. a lot of dry weather and a fair bit of sunshine as well. we will hang onto that scenario this afternoon across scotland. sunshine and showers. fewer showers across northern ireland but we cannot rule

them out. patchy cloud and sunshine in north west england, wales and even into the midlands this afternoon, all likely to see some showers. dry the further east that you are. temperatures today, roughly ten to 14. as we head through the evening and overnight, we start off ona evening and overnight, we start off on a breezy note with those showers. a ridge of high pressure starts to build in. some of the showers will fade and we can see this weather front in the south—east by then, taking showery outbreaks of rain with it as it continues to move towards the near continent. temperatures between six and eight but cooler in the highlands. tomorrow we will lose the rain from the south—east. there will still be a few showers here and there in the west but with high pressure a cross there in the west but with high pressure across us there in the west but with high pressure across us it will be a much drier day, with a fair bit of sunshine around and still quite breezy. by the end of the day the cloud thickened across western

scotla nd cloud thickened across western scotland and northern ireland ahead of this next weather front coming our way. temperature—wise, similar to what we expect today. into wednesday, more rain pouring in across northern ireland, scotland, northern england and wales. it will dry up in wales as we go through the day that the lion's share of the sunshine will be through the midlands into east anglia and the south—east. the main thing about wednesday is the temperatures. we start to see them getting into the very mild category, easily 1415 and locally up to 16. by the time we get to thursday, we could have issues with fog, which at this time of year is slow to clear. we will keep a close eye on it. there will be a lot of dry weather around and there will bea of dry weather around and there will be a weather front out towards the west so thursday will be like wednesday, mild or macro very mild november day. thank you. for several days now, the most destructive wildfires in californian history have raged across the state. dozens of people have

lost their lives and homes, and possessions have been reduced to ash. me forbes and her family were among those lucky to escape. their home and neighbourhood in butte county has been completely destroyed. earlier we spoke to me from a hotel in redding, california where they're staying. me explained the moment they saw the fire. i was driving my children to school and to an appointment. we saw the sky and the plume of smoke and the orange glow and we knew that something was wrong, but we couldn't figure out what was happening because no one was telling us anything on the news or on facebook or social media. so we were just going about our business trying to get to our appointments, and thank goodness we had an appointment because otherwise i would have dropped everybody off and we would have been separated so i am really thankful. so you saw that something was up and he went back to your house. what did you manage to get from the house? wejust
