there's a new boss of the premier league. susanna dinnage will become one of the most powerful women in sport when she takes over from richard scudamore. good morning. a mild day ahead for all of us today, but wet and windy for a time all of us today, but wet and windy fora time in all of us today, but wet and windy for a time in the northern half of the country. in the south, drier and brighter with some sunshine. i'll have more in 15 minutes. good morning. it's wednesday november the iath. our top story: the prime minister has agreed a draft brexit deal with eu officials and faces the task of persuading her cabinet, which will meet this afternoon, to back it and her. ministers were given details of the 500—page agreement in individual briefings in downing street last night. 0ne—to—one sessions will continue this morning. labour, the democratic unionists and number of conservative mps have said they're likely to oppose the plan. political correspondent alex forsyth has more. a warning, this report contains flash photography. one by one, ministers went to downing street last night, a chance to see in the detail the draft agreement in private before deciding whether to

back it later today. reporter: have you been twisting any arms, mr smith? while some might seem confident, others are said to have reservations about the terms of departure that officials have drawn up. even before the details were announced, brexiteer tories were briefing against it. 0ne even warned he could withdraw his support from theresa may. i haven't written to sir graham brady, but there comes a point at which the individual and the policy become interconnected and it will be very hard to carry on supporting the person promoting this policy. and many who backed remain had concerns too. this was a rally last night for those who want another public vote. i am not going to accept a deal that will totally undermine our credibility in the whole of the rest of the world, because even if some people in my party cannot see this is a bad deal, everyone else around this entire planet can. the prime minister must win

the cabinets backing today if there is going to be a meeting of eu leaders later this month to finalise the deal. some are calling for calm. a lot of progress has been made. the united kingdom has worked extremely hard and the negotiating team has worked extremely hard to take this agreement forward. it's now for the cabinet to discuss if what we've got, as the prime minister said, is a good dealfor the united kingdom. if the cabinet and the eu agrees, then it is up to parliament. labour and the dup, on whose support theresa may relies, have said they're likely to vote this agreement down. this whole process is still uncertain. alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. political correspondent ben wrightjoins us now from westminster. it's a day that's going to be quite exciting i think. it's almost like looking at the eyebrows of everyone that goes in and out of that door in downing street to see exactly which way they're going. that's right, naga. it's the sort of day historians in years to come will

look back on, poring over to try to understand the decisions made and the mood at the time. we talk a lot about crunch cabinet meetings, it's about crunch cabinet meetings, it's a cliche but this is really pivotal. theresa may has gone for it. she's putting the draft withdrawal agreement before her cabinet today and is appealing for their support. iimagine and is appealing for their support. i imagine overnight there were some perhaps sleepless nights among certain members of the cabinet who are fretting about whether or not they can back it, particularly the brexiteers. we know brexiteers on the backbenches, like borisjohnson, already furious about this, they haven't seen the text yet but they see this as a betrayal, a sell—out. the question today is whether there are resignation is from the cabinet details are seen by as them, people like andrea leadsom, leader of the house of commons, penny mordaunt, international development secretary, esther mcvey, possibly dominic raab himself, the brexit secratary,

committed brexiteers and they may see this as a compromise to get a deal with the eu nailed down. that will be number 10's real concern today. more i—to—i meetings will happen during the morning and the whole cabinet will sit down at 2pm, theresa may hopes at that point they will sign it off and they will begin the process that alex talked about, getting the deal to parliament, which remains the biggest hurdle of all for number 10. which remains the biggest hurdle of all for number10. it which remains the biggest hurdle of all for number 10. it will be an interesting day. ben wright there. and in half an hour, we'll be getting reaction from our correspondent in brussels. we have talked a lot about significant days for brexit, but today feels like a big one. it does, especially if any resignations come through. we will keep you updated through. we will keep you updated through the morning and on the news channel through the day. tens of thousands of people with type one diabetes will be able to get wearable glucose sensors to help them manage their condition. until now, only a small number of patients have had access to the devices, but nhs england says from next april it will ensure that the technology is available on prescription to all patients

who qualify for it. an nhs trust at the centre of an alleged maternity—care scandal is being accused by more than 200 families of failing them with poor care. the bbc has been told that dozens of parents say their babies died between 1998 and 2017 because of errors by the shrewsbury and telford trust. the trust says it's co—operating fully with an independent review. the number of people killed in california's wildfires has now risen to 50, with dozens still missing. firefighters say they've now contained the worst of the fires in the north of the state, but they don't expect to fully get it under control until the end of the month. dave lee has sent this report from california. this devastating fire has now scorched indiscriminately through approximately 200 square miles of northern california. 0n the ground in the worst hit town

called paradise, search teams are using advanced forensic techniques to find and eventually identified the dead. some trapped in their homes, some not able to escape quickly enough. in the south of the state, a separate blaze has destroyed more than a00 structures. firefighters there at least feel like they're beginning to see some progress. this is how it looks to those trying to escape the inferno in paradise, in what is now the deadliest blaze in california's history. this footage was filmed by a 16—year—old who was fleeing with his mother. that was six days ago. now the community is trying to start the rebuilding process, including where its children will now go to school. is students from paradise high were welcomed to a school in the nearby town of chico. it was the first time any had seen their classmates since the fire. it's tough. all of a sudden lost our homes and our community has been wiped out. driving home to try and

evacuate, get things and i got about a quarter of evacuate, get things and i got about a quarterofa evacuate, get things and i got about a quarter of a mile from my house and there was just fires erupting everywhere, so my husband called me and said wherever you are, turn around and get out of there. stu d e nts around and get out of there. students from paradise high may not have any more school buildings to call their own but their meeting here in order to make sure their school community stays very much intact. teachers have promised the class of 2019 that they will graduate together. dave lee, bbc news, in northern california. police investigating the disappearance of madeleine mccann have received a further £150,000 in government funding. the new money will allow detectives to continue their investigation until the end of march next year. madeleine was three—years—old when she went missing from a holiday complex in portugal in may, 2007. prince charles is celebrating his 70th birthday today. the heir to the throne will mark the occasion by having tea with a group of inspirational 70 year olds, before attending a private party put on by the queen at buckingham palace.

royal correspondent nicholas witchell has more details. he is said to be more relaxed than perhaps at any stage in his adult life. that was certainly the impression at the london palladium last night at a special 70th birthday gala, where prince charles met sootie and sweep. the prince at 70 in these birthday portraits issued by clarence house, with his wife, his sons and their wives, and his three grandchildren — george, charlotte and louis. he displays the contentment of a prince who's waited virtually his entire life to achieve his hereditary destiny. he became heir to the throne at the age of four, but he's made it his business to fill his adult life purposefully. now, increasingly, he's taking on some of the duties of his mother. on sunday, once again, he placed the queens wreath at the cenotaph while she watched from a balcony. this birthday has already seen him

issue the important clarification that, as king, he will not attempt to campaign on issues as he has done as prince of wales. i'm not that stupid. i do realise that it is a separate exercise, being sovereign. that's the only clue he'll give as to what sort of king he will be. and while he waits, it's clear this 70—year—old will remain fully committed to speaking up for the causes which he regards as important. today, though, will be one of celebration. a tea party with other 70—year—olds and a birthday dinner hosted by his mother. nicholas witchell, bbc news. i think it's going to be more exciting than just tea and dinner. do you know what his favourite meal is? pheasant crumble. as you do! ipad pheasant, not pheasant crumble! i'm not sure. —— i've had. ithink there should be rules about a

pheasant crumble. no rules about food i think, just eat what you want! and to mark his birthday the prince of wales has guest edited an edition of country life magazine. he's done that before, he did it on his 65th birthday as well. we'll have the features editor here with us at 8:20am to hear all about it. a rare pink diamond has sold for £385 million, a record price per carat. the pink legacy, had been described as the leonardo da vinci of diamonds, and was sold afterjust five minutes of bidding at an auction in switzerland. it is beautiful, i think. sally is here soon. she thinks it is beautiful. it was discovered in a south african mine around 100 years ago. i don't need to wait until i'm 70 to be given that as a gift. there we go. just in case anyone has bought it, might be thinking... can i ask, is it beautiful because it is a massive diamond or is it actually

beautiful? it is beautiful. the colour, but it has distracted me from the thought of a savoury crumble. the diamond couldn't distract me from that. you think of a crumble with sugar, it will be herbs, cheese, parmesan. you're not helping! it will be like a gratin. bolellli a smack i have had a chicken crumble before. —— i have had a chicken crumble before. chicken pie. i am more steak slice than those in crumble, me! good morning! the cricket has started. we have some sport going on while we are on—air. england vs sri lanka in the second test. jos buttler and rory burns steadying the ship after a wobble already, they've lost three wickets and they

isn't most people's. a lesson for all sports players! he is the carol kirkwood of tennis. i see what you did there, don't you think carol gets grumpy? i believe you were last grumpy in1988, is gets grumpy? i believe you were last grumpy in 1988, is that correct? no, because i wasn't born then!|j grumpy in 1988, is that correct? no, because i wasn't born then! i forgot you were born in 199a! because i wasn't born then! i forgot you were born in 1994! now you have made her grumpy! carry on! lovely picture, carol! thank you! for many of us 2gb skies will be like this. but not everywhere. —— the skies. the heavy rain at the moment particularly across to u nfreeze moment particularly across to unfreeze and galloway. rennie across the northern half of the country. dry across the south. —— raining. where ever you are it will be a mild day. you can see high pressure. the wind coming around, across our shores, south—westerly and marles action. you can see from the isa buzz it will be breezy where ever you are. we have read across

northern ireland and into scotland —— raining. it is the south that will have the lion's share of the 17 today. southern china tigers hazy because there is quite a bit of cloud around —— the sunshine at times hazy. more cloud behind the rain. there will be some sunshine. somewhere like the moray firth, in that sunshine today, could see temperatures get up to 17 degrees. widely we are looking at temperatures between about 13 and 15. as we had on through the evening and overnight what you will find is there will be some clear skies around. the rain will clear away from the north. another band of rain sweeps in from the west. still a windy or breezy night, depending on where you are. it will not be a cold night. look at the overnight

temperatures in the west, tens and eleve ns. temperatures in the west, tens and elevens. they are more representative of what we would expect from a maximum temperature during because the afternoon. cool as we push further east. heading into tomorrow, dragging in that mild airfrom the near into tomorrow, dragging in that mild air from the near continent, into tomorrow, dragging in that mild airfrom the near continent, right across the whole of the uk. it will bea across the whole of the uk. it will be a breezy or windy day. we will start on a grey note across england and wales. there will be low cloud, patchy mist and fog. at this time of year ta kes patchy mist and fog. at this time of year takes time to clear. we should start to see some holes develop in that with some sunshine. for scotla nd that with some sunshine. for scotland and northern ireland, for scotla nd scotland and northern ireland, for scotland there will be some sunshine, you can see already the rain coming in to the west and moving across northern ireland. tomorrow could be even milder than today. we could hit 17 degrees somewhere today. we could hit 17 degrees somewhere across today. we could hit 17 degrees somewhere across the south—east. not too bad in the north—east of scotla nd too bad in the north—east of scotland as well. generally, where ever you are tomorrow, it is looking pretty good. from thursday into friday, we still have the influence

of this high pressure, still a lot of this high pressure, still a lot of dry and settled weather around. you can also see the next weather front waiting. brady will be a bit cloudier than thursday. another great start —— friday will be. brighton is developing as we go through the day. we are looking at increasing amounts of sunshine. frost by night. it will be call—up by day. nonetheless, temperatures closer to where they should be at this stage in november. notched too bad. and with the sunshine it will feel less —— not too bad. let's take a look at today's front pages. brexit is the lead for most this morning. the is headline reads: "deal done, now all the prime minister has to do is get it past her cabinet, the commons, the lords, the dup and 27 eu nations." the guardian features four of the key cabinet ministers

who theresa may needs to back her deal — matt hancock, liam fox, andrea leadsom, and philip hammond. there's a different lead on the front page of the daily star, who report police are receiving an extra £150,000 pounds to continue their search for madeleine mccann. there's also a photo of actor emily atack, who's one of the contestants on i'm a celebrity get me out of here this year. and, finally, the sun wishes prince charles a happy birthday. there's a photo of him alongside his children and grandchildren and the headline reads "the grins of wales". do you see what they did there? a p pa re ntly do you see what they did there? apparently a person to crumble, what they are calling it —— a pheasant

crumble. the voices in your head. the magazine says a pheasant crumble, and a light moussaka but with grouse. summary has been googling. i am feeling a bit queasy already. it is too early for this chat. this is a great story about the referee who has been banned from what women's football comedy top of this paper. that is wayne rooney we have been talking about. david mcnamara, here for years, have been talking about. david mcnamara, here foryears, he has been suspended by the football association for three weeks because ofa association for three weeks because of a bizarre incident between the clash between manchester city and reading in october when he left his queenin reading in october when he left his queen in the dressing room. have you heard about this? no. -- coin. so instead of tossing a coin they played rock paper scissors. he has

been banned for three weeks for doing that? the fa say he should have gone back into his dressing room and got the coin. they played the game. they played it and then played the game. didn't seem to object. but he has got in terrible trouble. i do think it is slightly daft. what about the farm at war? -- thumb. i cannot be beaten at thumb war. i have a doublejointed thumb. lam quite war. i have a doublejointed thumb. i am quite good at it myself. but i would never beat that. we will have again later. maybe not on the telly. we are reporting a story this morning, the first woman to run the premier league. they have a rundown of all the women in charge of sport. in sport is to bring really well. there are some powerful women in

different organisations, the sports minister, katherine grainger. the list is endless, basically. i think, you know... quite good news for women at the top. she is coming from the broadcasting industry as well. it is interesting what will happen with that. she is not coming from sport. i'm sure there will be luddites who shout at yet kicked a football? that happened quite quickly. the first thing that was said was a shiver kicked a football? iimagine she said was a shiver kicked a football? i imagine she has. —— has she ever? it isa i imagine she has. —— has she ever? it is a broadcasting business. as well is a football business it is a broadcasting business. that is the background. hopefully at some stage it went really matter. you which is a summary it went really matter. you which is a summary has a job. a person has a job and they will be doing this. otherwise every time someone gets a job we have to compare how many women in the top. she is only the third person to run the premier league anyway. is it even slightly

releva nt league anyway. is it even slightly relevant she is a woman? do you from someone's name if you have not met them for a while? hour you would names? terrible. have you got a way around it? yes. who are you? she hasn't really. i would look at sally and think of the name and go maybe sally big leaps because of the hoops you are wearing. and i would say something... i was there some ridiculous to associate with you. what if i was not wearing the big leap is that they. i was a red poppies or something. —— loops.|j try report the story was. it is easier to remember a name than a face, according to research. they have done all this stuff. you can people's name is better than faces. as you get older there is a point at which you just kicks in. really?!

as you get older there is a point at which youjust kicks in. really?! i am waiting for it. waiting for it. wildfires are continuing to rage in california. at least 50 people have now died, but with dozens still missing that number is expected to rise. president trump has blamed poorforest management, but the governorjerry brown says climate change is to blame. let's speak to glen macdonald, who's a professor of geography in california and who's had to evacuate his own home. thank you so much for coming on and talking to us a little bit more about this. i will ask you a bout in about this. i will ask you a bout in a moment. on these theories would use it, who has it right, do you think? as we take a look at that, i think? as we take a look at that, i think the governor is much closer to the truth than the president on this one. in fact, the fires down in southern california have nothing to do with forest. there were no forest support —— burning, is grassland and shrub land. you will never manage that by thinning or logging or

anything like that. it is completely divorced from reality, actually. in terms of the actual environment, it is not just california, terms of the actual environment, it is notjust california, it is in many places in the world, where we are now building homes, is that part of the problem as well, because actually they are in dangerous areas which are open to these sorts of conditions? this is true in many of, or in the different parts of the world. the mediterranean, straighter, they have terrible fires, california, the south—west —— australia. pretty much anywhere you build at a low elevation you'll be up build at a low elevation you'll be up against flammable vegetation and you are going to be prone to fire risk. it is absolutely unavoidable. you have had to evacuate your own home, i wanted to know, what is the response of the authorities? you have experienced it yourself and many others have as well, do you think there will be lessons learned from what has happened in the past

few days? i think so. i am in ve ntu ra few days? i think so. i am in ventura county. they were very, very efficient about evacuating us. we got a call at 11:20pm we said you are on the list for voluntary evacuation. i got the call, my daughter got the call, my wife got the call on our mobile phones. it came in on our landline. and got a second call that said god. is mandatory. —— go. that was followed up mandatory. —— go. that was followed up with police and loudspeaker systems. and i understand they went door—to—door. in malibu it was maybe not as efficient. the houses are more dispersed. it was maybe more difficult to get the word out. they did a pretty good job in general. in clearing us out. and then allowing us clearing us out. and then allowing us to come back in. not everybody is backin us to come back in. not everybody is back in yet. this takes time. it is very disruptive. i am glad to know you are safe and many others have

been evacuated effectively as well. another quick one, if i could. do you think if climate change is as responsible as you are saying do you think that will mean we have to change the way we build houses in some parts of the world, particularly in places like california, people need to live there, but if this is going to be more prevalent than they can't live in the same way we have for many yea rs ? in the same way we have for many years? that is a really good point. this is not the new normal. the train is not at the station yet. it will be getting worse as we move into the 21st century. so we have to plan for a more erratic and difficult fire regime. of course we do have to look at our building materials and how we do our structures. they already, in my area you are not allowed to use wood shingles on your roof and things like that. you have to clear a defensible perimeter around any house that is built up against natural vegetation. i think we will have to get deeper into that. that is not 100% effective. and the way

we lay out our communities and how we lay out our communities and how we do notjust defend the individual structure, but the community and how we allow people to have egress to get out of those communities when these unbelievably fast moving fires set upon them. 0k, good to talk to you. that is glen macdonald, a professor of geography from the university of california. still dozens university of california. still d oze ns of university of california. still dozens of people missing, still search is going on. some have gone back to their houses and it seems to be quite well—managed. werribee —— hearing other stories from those not given much of a warning. neighbours we re given much of a warning. neighbours were telling them they had to flee. they packed up what they could and left as soon as they could. we will keep you up—to—date with that. it is time to get the news, travel, and whether where you are this morning. good morning from bbc london news. i'm charlotte franks. a man's been charged with murdering his wife in balham. 62—year—old tanseen sheikh was found at an address in balham park road on monday night at around 11:30. the cause of her death has been given as multiple injuries. naseer khan is due before

a draft brexit deal with eu officials and faces the task of persuading her cabinet, which will meet this afternoon, to back it. ministers were given details of the 500—page agreement in individual briefings in downing street last night. one—to—one sessions will continue this morning. labour, the democratic unionists and number of conservative mps have said they're likely to oppose the plan brussels reporter adam fleming joins us now. adam, we know that theresa may has to persuade the cabinet and most of the opposition to agree with her, but how has this gone down in brussels? so far quite tightlipped from officials at the moment of there. you might have heard some of us this morning got a text from an official tonight, which was the zip faced emql tonight, which was the zip faced emoji, the official policy in brussels isn't to say anything because they know a single stray word could torpedo this whole

fragile process. keeping pretty quiet officially but then you talk to diplomats find the scenes, and their reactions range from at one end of the spectrum, yes, the deal is done, to hang on, there's a massive hurdle to get over, the british cabinet agreeing it to people saying i believe it when i see it, because the 27 eu countries haven't seen the 500—page document yet, because it's been negotiated by the eu negotiating team only, then some countries are saying, hang on, have we agreed to too much here? that's the whole idea that as with solving the northern ireland border problem, which we've talked about for months, the way you do that is by writing into the brexit treaty a uk wide customs agreement with the eu. that's a big dealfor the eu, quite a big thing to give uk, and lots of countries have said we can't give that away for free, we have to get safeguards and guarantees and conditions from the uk because

that's a good deal the eu is offering them. lots of countries wa nt to offering them. lots of countries want to see what's actually been given to the uk here. i suspect over the next couple of days we will have loads of meetings here, ambassadors this afternoon, then officials and advisers all in the buildup to an eu summit which might be on the 25th of november. another date to look forward to but we'll get through today, shall we? adam, thanks very much. tens of thousands of people with type one diabetes will be able to get wearable glucose sensors to help them manage their condition. until now, only a small number of patients have had access to the devices, but nhs england says from next april it will ensure that the technology is available on prescription to all patients who qualify for it. an nhs trust at the centre of an alleged maternity—care scandal is being accused by more than 200 families of failing them with poor care. the bbc has been told that dozens of parents say their babies died between 1998 and 2017 because of errors by the shrewsbury and telford trust. the trust says it's co—operating fully with an independent review. the number of people killed

la st prescription a year ago in november last year, and there were some national guidelines reduced, but since then, particularly in england... and across the uk, it has been variable access but particularly in england, we've seen clinical commissioning groups making different decisions about the same device, this life changing device for people with diabetes. essentially it has ended up in a postcode lottery. this is such good news because we should now see an end to that. what has enabled this to happen now? i think we have... people with diabetes have campaigned alongside us. diabetes have campaigned alongside us. diabetes uk. the people that have had access to it have seen the benefits. initially lots of people we re benefits. initially lots of people were having to pay for it themselves, then we got it on prescription. since then, we've

still got people in areas that haven't approved it having to pay for it themselves, alongside people getting it on the nhs. that isn't fairand equitable. getting it on the nhs. that isn't fair and equitable. give us an idea of the cost, you're doing this privately at the moment? we pay for it. £50 for two weeks basically. it lasts for two weeks and each one is £50. how does it get changed? it isa £50. how does it get changed? it is a very weird thing, basically it is an adhesive strip around it. i will rip it off. then it is an applicator type thing. does it hurt? not as much as bingo prick testing in anyway, shape orform. one shot in two weeks —— finger prick. in anyway, shape orform. one shot in two weeks —— finger prickm in anyway, shape orform. one shot in two weeks -- finger prick. it has made a huge difference? massive for me. i wasn't testing as often as i should have before, i didn't know when i was high and low. only taking

tests when i really had to. now i've got all this information, can manage my condition so much better and it means i hopefully don't have to deal with any problems later in life. we have heard that so many people, healthcare professionals as well. people who have managed it with type 1 diabetes, their report amazing results from their clinics. they have seen such a change with people. people say they have started to understand their diabetes and what's going on with their blood glucose levels for the first time, in some cases. feeling a bit strange. that is what any. you for coming in an expanding that to us. it is 6:45 a.m.. expanding that to us. it is 6:45 am. good morning to you. expanding that to us. it is 6:45 a.m.. good morning to you. to tie cheques worth it. everyone is getting ready. —— time checks. carry on. thank you. good morning. a

reporter: have you been twisting some arms, mrsmith? no. while some might seem confident, others are said to have reservations about the terms of departure that officials have drawn up. even before the details were announced, brexiteer tories were briefing against it. one even warned he could withdraw his support from theresa may. i haven't written to sir graham brady, but there comes a point at which the individual and the policy become interconnected and it will be very hard to carry on supporting the person promoting this policy. and many who backed remain had concerns too. this was a rally last night for those who want another public vote. i am not going to accept a deal that will totally undermine our credibility in the whole of the rest of the world, because even if some people in my party cannot see this is a bad deal, everyone else around this entire planet can. the prime minister must win the cabinets backing today if there is going to be a meeting of eu leaders later this month

to finalise the deal. some are calling for calm. a lot of progress has been made. the united kingdom has worked extremely hard and the negotiating team has worked extremely hard to take this agreement forward. it's now for the cabinet to discuss if what we've got, as the prime minister said, is a good deal for the united kingdom. if the cabinet and the eu agrees, then it is up to parliament. labour and the dup, on whose support theresa may relies, have said they're likely to vote this agreement down. this whole process is still uncertain. alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. political correspondent ben wright is in downing street for us this morning. ben, high—stakes ben, high—sta kes today. ben, high—stakes today. there will be all those cabinet ministers going through that door behind you, the meeting is at 2pm. we've said this a few times but this is a huge day for the prime minister, isn't it? good morning, dan. it really isn't.

we talk about crunch cabinet meetings, it's an overused cliche, but this is the most important cabinet meeting we've seen for many yea rs. cabinet meeting we've seen for many years. the implications of what they intend to decide today will affect us all for years, and this is the moment where theresa may will ask her top team to back this draft deal, take it to the eu and try to get it through parliament. this is where the race to make brexit happen begins for number 10 after months of getting to this point. but the question is there the political will behind this deal today? this evening and this morning again, ministers come in one by one to meet the prime minister, eye to eye as she asks for their support and collectively at 2pm today, the cabinet will give their verdict. there could be rain resignation is, number 10 their verdict. there could be rain resignation is, number10 is their verdict. there could be rain resignation is, number 10 is worried about that, many brexiteer cabinet ministers have been concerned about this, penny mordaunt, esther mcvey,

andrea leadsom, the leader of the house —— there could be resignations. there are calls for a cabinet mutiny from the tory backbenches. it looks like theresa may is seeing them down and number 10 is confident they can get cabinet agreement today. the stakes are huge and. you heard jacob rees—mogg potentially talking about moving against the prime minister if they're not against the prime minister if they‘ re not happy against the prime minister if they're not happy with where this is going —— the stakes are huge and. these are huge political consequence days for the prime minister and the rest of us. —— the stakes are huge. the dup has to agree, parliament and the other european nations. you can see why it's a huge day for theresa may and the cabinet meeting is 2pm this afternoon. we'll cover it this morning. in a few minutes, we'll be speaking to conservative mp, andrew bridgen. coverage through the day on the bbc

this footage was filmed by a 16—year—old who was fleeing with his mother. that was six days ago. now the community is trying to start the rebuilding process, including where its children will now go to school. students from paradise high were welcomed to a school in the nearby town of chico. it was the first time many had seen their classmates since the fire. it's tough. all of us have lost our homes, and our community's been wiped out. i was driving home to try and evacuate, get things and i got about a quarter mile from my house and there was just fires erupting everywhere, so my husband called me and just said, "wherever you are, turn around and get out of there. students from paradise high school may not have any more school buildings to call their own but their meeting here in order to make sure their school community stays very much intact. teachers have promised the class

to achieve his hereditary destiny. he became heir to the throne at the age of four, but he's made it his business to fill his adult life purposefully. now, increasingly, he's taking on some of the duties of his mother. on sunday, once again, he placed the queens wreath at the cenotaph while she watched from a balcony. this birthday has already seen him issue the important clarification that, as king, he will not attempt to campaign on issues as he has done as prince of wales. i'm not that stupid. i do realise that it is a separate exercise, being sovereign. that's the only clue he'll give as to what sort of king he will be. and while he waits, it's clear this 70—year—old will remain fully committed to speaking up for the causes which he regards as important. today, though, will be one of celebration. a tea party with other 70—year—olds and a birthday dinner hosted by his mother.

nicholas witchell, bbc news. and to mark his birthday, the prince of wales has guest edited an edition of country life magazine. we'll have the features editor here with us at 8:20am to hear all about it. we wa nt we want to tell you about this. a rare pink diamond has sold for £385 million, a record price per carat. that might be too much as a birthday present for mr prince charles! the pink legacy had been described as the leonardo da vinci of diamonds and was sold afterjust five minutes of bidding at an auction in switzerland. it was discovered in a south african mine around 100 years ago. i think it is stunning. you wouldn't wear it, though, would you? yes. you wouldn't put it in a safe?” wear it, though, would you? yes. you wouldn't put it in a safe? i would wear it. what if you lost it? you

can't live life like that. life lessons with naga, more throughout the morning! back to our top story now, and ministers were given details of the 500—page draft brexit agreement in individual briefings in downing street last night. one—to—one sessions will continue this morning. labour, the democratic unionists and a number of conservative mps have all said they're likely to oppose the plan, highlighting the difficulty of the task theresa may faces in getting it through parliament. joining us now is conservative mp, andrew bridgen. hejoins us from our studio in westminster. thank you for talking to us this morning. good morning. what do you know about this draft brexit deal? well, we've seen the draft chequers agreement, and it's rather worse than that. we know the prime astir likes to have a little dance, but it's clear with this withdrawal agreement, she's dancing to mr barnier‘s and the eu'sjune —— prime

minister. i would barnier‘s and the eu'sjune —— prime minister. iwould be barnier‘s and the eu'sjune —— prime minister. i would be supporting it. ifidid, minister. i would be supporting it. if i did, couldn't look my constituents in the eye, who voted to leave the eu, or myself in the mirror —— tune. to leave the eu, or myself in the mirror -- tune. using this new draft brexit agreement? the original white paper was 130 pages —— you've seen. it's grown to over 500 and. have you seen any of this? no, i haven't -- it's grown to over 500. how do you know it's going to be worse? it's not going to get better. further concessions have been given since the chequers proposal. at least under article 50, we had the right to unilaterally leave the eu after two years. under this withdrawal agreement, the backstop to the backstop has been incorporated into the backstop, we're giving away the right to leave the european union and once the money is off the table and once the money is off the table and we've signed up to the withdrawal agreement, the divorce

bill has been agreed, anyone with a modicum of common sense will realise our negotiating position has weakened and we won't get a deal, we will be stuck in the backstop forever and why will the eu ever let us get out of it? no ability to do free trade deals. is where the eu wa nt to free trade deals. is where the eu want to keep us pinned and that's where we'll end up —— it's where. let me be clear on where you're coming from as a conservative mp, you say, even though you haven't seen this draft agreement, that the deal is not going to get better. you've decided that in your mind. that's what i'm getting. do you think mr barnier has given concessions? it's not for me to think that, it's for me to ask questions. if you didn't think it was going to get better, is theresa may going to resign as prime minister because she's not going to give you a deal you want? that was clear from chequers. give you a deal you want? that was clearfrom chequers. we're talking

about the sovereignty of our nation. people voted to take back control. chequers didn't do that. this withdrawal agreement will deteriorate from the chequers proposal. that's not taking back control. this is a vassal state. what does that mean, a vassal state? we've heard this phrase, what does that mean? that means we will be taking rules from another government where we have no say in it. who will we be taking... we will be under the common rule book, we will be accepting the rules of the customs union while we are in transition, which we will never get out of. therefore we have no say. we will have no meps when we leave the european union, no commissioners. we will be taking rules from the european union. that's not democracy. that's not democracy. that is not taking back control. and the sovereignty of our country is not the prime minister's to give away. that belongs to the people of this country. they voted to leave, they didn't vote to stay in. the

prime minister has taken away something that you do not believe she could take away, do you think she could take away, do you think she should resign? i saw that when the chequers proposals were first unveiled. i put my letter of no confidence in on the ninth ofjuly. what we have done is wasted time to get away point with a deal that was not going to go through parliament injuly when it was announced and it will not go through parliament now. jacob rees—mogg said he is not quite at the stage to initiate further letters of no confidence to force every election of the leader of the conservative party. do you think enough momentum will be in place by the end of today, after this series of 1—to—1 meetings, the meeting of the cabinet at two o'clock, do you think today all this week that she will have do reassess her position as leader of the conservative party and prime minister?” as leader of the conservative party and prime minister? i think further details of this dodgy deal will come out later on. the cabinet meeting two p.m.. cabinet ministers with

honour would resign over this proposal if they can't persuade the prime minister to drop them. but as your viewers probably think, there is probably not as much on in politics as perhaps they should be. failing that, i think there will be the a8 letters very imminently once the a8 letters very imminently once the details of this proposal are out in public domain. imminently this week? i would have thought so. but whether the letters are announced before monday, under the rules of the 1922 committee, it would probably be monday if the letters come in at the end of this week. andrew bridgen, thank you for joining us bbc breakfast. thank you. gives you an indication of the task facing the prime minister today. and we'll be speaking to shadow business secretary, rebecca long baileyjust after 8. 18 minutes past seven. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. beta averages are bang on in terms

of where they should be. is that correct? —— the temperatures? she says she has been listening. clearly not. i listened! you always try. bless your heart. the temperatures will be much higher than they should be at this stage in november. it will be an mall date and is today. a mild start for many of us. the north of the country seeing wet and windy conditions —— it will be a mild day. high pressure is anchored in the near continent. the wind around it is in a clockwise direction, as it crosses our shores it isa direction, as it crosses our shores it is a south—westerly, which is a milder direction for. you can see the rain in the charts. this morning it is wet across northern ireland, parts of wales, the midlands, northern england, in scotland. all this rain will be pushing north east was through because of the day, leaving cloud in its but brightening up leaving cloud in its but brightening up nicely where we have this morning's rain. southern and south—eastern areas getting off to

wait fine and dry start. we will see the sunshine there. it will be breezy. the sun will come out across parts of wales, northern england, you can see cloud on my charts as the rain clears it will leave a bit of cloud behind. it will be windy this afternoon. where the cloud brea ks this afternoon. where the cloud breaks across the north—east, moray firth, aberdeenshire, temperatures of 17 degrees. normally it would be closer to eight or nine. temperatures roughly are going to be in double figures, up to 15 today, possibly a 16 here or there in the sunshine. as we had through the evening and overnight, under clear skies it will be a pleasant nights if you are out and about, breezy. having said that, rain coming in from the west preceded by some cloud. western areas, once again, look at the temperatures, high for this time of year as an overnight temperature. even high as a daytime maximum temperature. it will be

cooler as we push towards the east. this mild very mahle pm continues as we had through thursday. we are dragging in the wind from the new continent right the way across our shores. 17 is possible this time in the south—east. tomorrow we will start for england and wales a great note. patchy mist and fog around. some of that will break. sunny spells developing. as we will across parts of scotland. for western scotla nd parts of scotland. for western scotland and northern ireland, another front coming our way will introduce more wet and windy conditions. temperatures still good for this stage of november. as we head in from thursday to friday we still are pulling in the air from the south. but the wind veers to a south—easterly direction. temperatures will drop a touch. on friday, once again, it will be a great and cloudy start with patchy mist and fog. some brightness developing. not as much as we are expecting on thursday. those are the temperatures. you want to know about

the weekend, it will be a weekend of increasing amounts of sunshine will stop the temperature will go down a touch. we will have overnight frosts. that is what i was saying. temperatures just where we thought they would be. i was listening! i am enjoying the thiem britches been better. of course they are. it is lovely. it does not feel like november —— temperatures. lovely. it does not feel like november —— temperaturesm lovely. it does not feel like november -- temperatures. it does not feel like november at all. thank you very much. you managed to change your opinion entirely. let's take a look at today's papers. lots about brexit. let us talk about something else. a huge day for theresa may. one—on—one meetings with cabinet ministers. something else on the agenda. we talk about prince charles at 70 later on. he has guest edited country life magazine. we are talking to the features editor. he talks about his favourite view, in aberdeenshire, he says his favourite meal. it has

caused some debate. it is theirs and crumble. it sounds lovely to meet -- pheasant. people enjoy the important stories on bbc news. bradford is a big topic of debate. erik bakker debate about whether crumble should be savoury —— there is a debate.” say yes. or whether all crumble to be served with custard. don't close your mind to the crumble.” be served with custard. don't close your mind to the crumble. i have an open mind when it comes to crumble. iam open mind when it comes to crumble. i am always thinking let's get ready to crumble. he was looking to get back in. 7:23 a.m.. the number of people going to church is continuing to fall according to the latest figures from the church of england. despite this there are some encouraging signs for services taking place on days other than sunday. our religion editor, martin bashir, has more. the city of london hosts the highest

number of banks and the largest commercial insurance market in the world. it is also targeting the business of church growth. this is st helens in bishopsgate on a tuesday lunchtime. city workers feel this ancient building for a service of prey and bible teaching. and in the silly, jonah, who was the most crucial profits... it is church, just not on a sunday. it works me. it is super convenient. i work nearby. it is great to popping in the middle of a busy week. nearby. it is great to popping in the middle of a busy weekm nearby. it is great to popping in the middle of a busy week. it helps me to get out of work, come to church, and really listen more about whojesus is. church, and really listen more about who jesus is. the battle for survival has never been more urgent for the church of england. today's statistics showed a year—on—year decline of 2.9%, with an average weekly attendance of 890 5000. but outside of sunday services, worship gatherings ard bucking the trend,

showing a slight increase. churches have recognised that sundays are no longer sacred. so innovation may be the key to survival. clergy are setting up churches in a variety of settings, like this car boot sale in lancashire. people are engaging with the church in a different way. the bishop of london says, like other institutions, the church must adapt toa institutions, the church must adapt to a changing culture.” institutions, the church must adapt to a changing culture. i do think in a world that constantly changes we need to be listening to our communities and relating to them in a way that is accessible for them. show off another sign. do another one. dazzle us. bacca st helens the rector says that while convenience is an important consideration, the church must not compromise on the content church must not compromise on the co nte nt of church must not compromise on the content of its message —— back at. it would be a huge mistake to say it isa it would be a huge mistake to say it is a particular style of leadership or it is the time and the convenience. the issue is presenting

the teaching ofjesus christ to people who, without him, find there isa people who, without him, find there is a great vacuum in their life. goodbye. see you. this service and their workers scurry back to their offices. ogbape strengthened and it is still only two o'clock on a tuesday afternoon —— their faith. martin fischer, bbc news. it is now 726. do you still have your teddy bear from when you are a kid? i did not have a teddy bear. i did. it was called teddy. that was enough. nina has been finding out the must have toys. she is at a teddy bear factory. she the must have toys. she is at a teddy bearfactory. she named her as chip after it first. good morning. we hope there is some radical work being done on chip. we are looking

at the 12 toys that are meant to be top of the christmas list this year. this unicorn with lovely hair is one of them. sorry about that. she does have some food there. the food comes at the other end, i'm afraid. also making a resurgence are collectable items, like this one, bears that are handmade here in telford. we will speak to stamp his family have been making teddy bears here for four generations. she is making sure these boxes have no hair in their eye over christmas. we will be talking to sam and more of the team later on. but first the news, travel, and weather wherever you are this morning. —— weather. good morning from bbc london news. i'm charlotte franks. a man's been charged with murdering his wife in balham. 62—year—old tanseen sheikh was found at an address in balham park road on monday night at around 11:30. the cause of her death has been given as multiple injuries. naseer khan is due before wimbledon magistrates later. members of the london assembly

are calling on tfl to reveal the cost of a second fare freeze on public transport. the budget and performance committee says a further freeze must not tip tfl's finances into the abyss. its report out today also calls for a review of advertising on the network. concerns have been raised over an event due to open in southwark park for the first time this year. alice in winterland will close off 20% of the park to the general public for around a2 days. residents say they're worried about noise and antisocial behaviour, but the council say it will raise crucial revenue to keep other events free. i think it is right to pop it right in the middle. this lovely, gorgeous space. i have lived around for 32 years. there are is loads of space still there. just take your dogs out. it's for the children. hyde park is far. this would be a bit closer for everyone. let's take a look at the travel situation now.

there's a good service on the tube lines this morning. on the trains southern and thameslink services via london bridge are disrupted following signal problems. onto the roads — in westminster, bridge street remains closed between parliament square and the victoria embankment, with westminster bridge closed westbound to all traffic except buses and taxis. and the m25 is down to three lanes anticlockwise just past junction 19 at watford following a multi—vehicle collision with congestion to junction 21. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. another mild start out there this morning. compared to yesterday it will not be wall—to—wall sunshine, but we will still see some spells of hazy sunshine nonetheless and it's still feeling rather mild. this cloud fairly high level, so it will be bright this morning and any thick cloud will break up. some sunny spells, hazy though it may be from time to time, a fresh southerly breeze but temperatures defiant, still looking at a maximum of 15 celsius. above average for the middle of november. overnight there is more cloud. fairly low, thick cloud as well. likely to see mist and fog developing by dawn tomorrow morning.

again, a mild night, the minimum 8—9 celsius. that mist and fog will develop because the wind is a little lighter. it will not be as breezy heading into thursday. the mist and murk, low cloud will take its time to lift. gradually it should start to break up and we will get some spells of sunshine, especially through the afternoon. temperatures tomorrow, 16, maybe even 17 celsius. friday, quite a misty, murky start to the day. there will be more cloud around on the whole on friday. temperatures are a touch cooler. gradually the temperatures start to slip away getting much cooler into next week. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to naga and dan. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and naga munchetty.

here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. the prime minister has agreed a draft brexit deal with eu officials and faces the task of persuading her cabinet, which will meet this afternoon, to back it. ministers were given details of the 500—page agreement in individual briefings in downing street last night. one—to—one sessions will continue this morning. labour, the democratic unionists and number of conservative mps have said they're likely to oppose the plan cabinet ministers with no would resign over these proposals if they can't persuade the prime minister to drop them. but, as your viewers probably think, there's not as much honour in politics as perhaps there should be. failing that, ithink there will be the a8 letters in very imminently once the details of this

proposal are out in the public domain. our brussels reporter, adam fleming, joins us now. adam, we're going to be talking a lot about what's going to be happening here today, but a huge pa rt happening here today, but a huge part of this is about how this goes down in brussels this morning? everyone in brussels will be watching what happens in london because the cabinet agreeing to this d raft because the cabinet agreeing to this draft document is seen here as a massive hurdle that has to be ove rco m e massive hurdle that has to be overcome for this progress to be made in this process. just as the cabinet are meeting in london, you're going to have the ambassadors from the 27 other eu countries meeting in brussels to get an update on the state of play in negotiations. that will kick off a massive long bureaucratic process in brussels, because the member states haven't seen the document that's been negotiated on their behalf by michel barnier and his team. as we've been hearing, it is 500 pages long, four times longer than the d raft long, four times longer than the draft that exists at the moment that

was published earlier this year. it's interesting talking to some member states in the last few hours, they're a bit worried about this idea of a uk wide customs arrangement as a solution to the northern ireland border issue in case the future trade deal doesn't solve it, that insurance policy that goes by that horrible name of the backstop. they worry whether to much has been given away to the uk, and whether there are another strings attached and guarantees. i'm worried about whether my tv‘s going to work! so, yeah! a bit of concern from the member states about whether they've given away too much to the uk, and i'm concerned about whether someone has pulled the plug in my studio. that's a way to upstage chris mason! just to confirm, you're not next door to us, you are in brussels? this is a screen, but that's really brussels, the beautiful sunrise in brussels, the beautiful sunrise in brussels this morning. it looked lovely, as did the black screen! the

magic of tv. he is in brussels, we put that on because that's the best shot we could get because he's in a room somewhere. he isn't next door, i assure you! the number of people killed in california's wildfires has now risen to 50, with dozens still missing. firefighters say they've now contained the worst of the fires in the north of the state, but they don't expect to bring it fully under control until the end of the month. it's the deadliest wildfire in the state's history. tens of thousands of people with type one diabetes will be able to get wearable glucose sensors to help them manage their condition. they are similar to one worn by prime minister theresa may. until now, patients in some parts of the country had been denied access to the devices, but nhs england says from next april it will ensure that the technology is available on prescription to all patients who qualify for it. an nhs trust at the centre of an alleged maternity—care scandal is being accused by more than 200 families of failing them with poor care. the bbc has been told that dozens

of parents say their babies died between 1998 and 2017 because of errors by the shrewsbury and telford trust. the trust says it's co—operating fully with an independent review. police investigating the disappearance of madeleine mccann have received a further £150,000 in government funding. the new money will allow detectives to continue their investigation until the end of march next year. madeleine was three years old when she went missing from a holiday complex in portugal in may, 2007. buckingham palace has issued two new portaits to mark prince charles's 70th birthday. it's today! the heir to the throne will spend the occasion having tea with a group of inspirational 70—year—olds, before attending a private party put on by the queen at buckingham palace. he's got quite a day ahead. carol will be here with the weather in a few moments. now we can go live to brussels for

the sport with sally. i am really hear! and you're backing thing is ok at the moment. not really in sri lanka, tragically, wouldn't it be nice this morning? is it bad? it's not good, you no, it's not going well, i can tell by your face. i've had a little check. not a perfect start. it's not. technically called a wobble! england are having a bit of a wobble in the second test against sri lanka. they've lost five wickets this morning, rory burns one of the men to fall. he was closing in on a half—century too. keaton jennings, ben stokes, joe root and moeen ali also out and england 13a—5 in kandy. there's a new boss at the premier league. susanna dinnage is going to be the new chief executive, taking overfrom richard scudamore who stands down next month. dinnage is currently a senior executive at the discovery media organisation, and will become one of the most powerful women in british sport when she starts her new role injanuary. wayne rooney says it's been strange

rejoining the england squad this week. he retired from international football last year, but is been back in training with england for a one off appearance in the friendly match against the united states at wembley tomorrow. it was a strange feeling. i don't know whether that was nerves or, ermm... it was different to when you'd normally come in and meet up. but, no, i think everyone obviously gave me a nice welcome, and it will be great to walk in the dressing room to see your shirt up once again and have the opportunity to have that last run—out. so rooney getting his 120th cap, one man expected to get his first start is jadon sancho. he's making great progress after leaving manchester city to play for borussia dortmund in germany, and says more young english players should follow his lead and play abroad. personally i think if you feel you're ready, then i think

you should take a shot at it, you know? just try something different. obviously if english clubs aren't giving you a chance, then abroad is always an option, and they're always open to see your ability, and hopefully if you're good enough, you get your chance. that's how i felt. scotland's women were the latest side to be beaten by the usa. alex morgan gave the three—time world champions the lead in the first half. america are on a great run, they've won their last ten now. they nearly doubled their lead, but carli lloyd smashed her penalty against the crossbar. scotland will play in their first world cup finals in france next summer. lewis hamilton has questioned the benefits of taking formula one to new parts of the world. the five—time world champion was back at the mercedes hq yesterday to thank staff for their support during the season. f1 recently announced a new grand prix in vietnam, but hamilton says he would like to see more races in countries with real racing history. roger federer‘s up

and running at the atp world finals in london. he was pretty miffed when he lost his first match at the 02 on sunday, but he was much happier against dominic thiem, winning in straight sets to keep him in contention for the semi—finals. if he wins the whole thing, it'll be federer‘s100th career title. finally, here's the story we've been talking about all morning. a referee in the women's super league has got himself into bother over a game of rock, paper, scissors. david mcnamara made the captains of man city and reading play the game to decide who kicked off, because he left his coin for the toss in the dressing room. he's been suspended for three weeks. i have reviewed the fa rules, it does have to be a coin. does it? they don't say it has to be a coin,

it says after a coin toss. what i'm interested in, which i doubt you'll be able to find out, is the of rock, paper, scissors. i want be able to find out, is the of rock, paper, scissors. iwant to be able to find out, is the of rock, paper, scissors. i want to know if it was best of three. it has to be best of three to be fair. you can't do one. why not? you beat me! i did see what you had done, though, i'd cheated! thank you, sally. see you later on. an online petition to get iceland's christmas advert shown on tv has been signed by more than 800,000 people after it was blocked by broadcasters for being too political. iceland re—used a short animated film by greenpeace showing the impact palm oil production has on orangutans and their natural habitat. here's a short clip of the ad. we're going to discuss this in a moment. there's a human in my forest, and i don't know what to do. he destroyed all of my trees for your food and shampoo. we're joined now by cat barton, a wildlife conservationist at chester zoo.

and advertising analyst benedict pringle is in our london newsroom. take us through the problem that there is or what the problems are in terms of why this can't be shown. absolutely. there's regulation in the uk that says political advertising can't be carried on tv. this piece of communication by iceland was, in the first instance, created by greenpeace, who are an organisation with political objectives, and one of the rules of the code around political advertising is that's not allowed. the thing is, benedict, cat, we'll come to you in a moment, this is a pr masterstroke by iceland, they haven't paid for an advert which has been watched millions of times and more people are talking about their shop than they would have if it hadn't been on in the first place. that's right. it shows this rule

that political advertising shouldn't be allowed on tv is way out of date. ina be allowed on tv is way out of date. in a world where you can watch youtube on the tv in your living room at the same time as watching channel a on your mobile phone, this rule were political advertising isn't allowed on tv seem increasingly outdated. if we are to bring political advertising on tv, however, it needs to come with some regulations. at the moment political advertising is completely unregulated. political advertisers can say whatever they want in posters and online video, so if we're going to allow political advertising on tv, that needs to come with regulation. cat, there two debates going on, the rights and wrongs of whether it should not being passed as an advert, but also the message in the advert. give us an idea, palm oil, why is it dangerous to orangutans? palm oil is grown mainly in indonesia and malaysia, 85% of our palm oil comes from there, which is

where species such as orangutans live and it's the unsustainable production, the deforestation that explains for this production which is detrimental to orangutans. so actually this whole furore around this advert, you're sitting here thinking it is great that you're having the chance to talk about something and bring that to the consciousness of people that wouldn't otherwise have known about it. definitely. it's a powerful advert and it's allowed this conversation to happen. eight years ago people weren't talking about palm oil. even four years ago, people didn't know what sustainable palm oil was so getting this out to the public has been really important and it gives us the chance to start having the conversations and thinking about the most responsible action. someone like james corden, the entertainer, has put this on twitter, and it's been viewed 15 million times. dan, you alluded to that. benedict, it shows perhaps the

rules for advertising might be a little bit out of date. yes, they're being stuck to now but times are changing, and companies aren't afraid to nail some political colours to a mast? absolutely. the times are changing. our rules on political advertising are woefully out of date. they were created in 2003 before the digital revolution, and i think it badly needs reform on all sorts of france. cat, what sort of things are chester zoo cat, what sort of things are chester zoo involved in in these kinds of things? you look at that and take it seriously there? we so support —— support sustainable palm oil. we try to limit deforestation on habitats. that is what we support. we have public messages and public campaigns going out. we are working at the moment to try to make chester the first sustainable palm oil city in the world. we are working with restaurants, school meal providers,

chester university, among others to try to make sure that the palm oil they source in their food is sustainable and from certified sources. if you are going shopping today anyone to support this campaign, what else should you be looking for on your label, it is not a lwa ys looking for on your label, it is not always labelled as palm oil? looking for on your label, it is not always labelled as palm 0mm looking for on your label, it is not always labelled as palm oil? it is mainly labelled as palm oil in food. on your chocolate bar that is what it will say. there are many different names for it. especially cosmetics and cleaning products. we have an online website. there is a shopping list there and we have looked through the brands that are sourcing sustainable palm oil. one of the big issues we have is that sustainable often isn't label. palm oil is often labelling food that sustainable is on. we have the shopping list. there are a number of others where you can look to see who is sourcing their palm oil sustainably and it means consumers can go and shop and they have that choice. really good to talk to this morning, thank you cat. benedict,

thank you for highlighting the ancient advertising rules, which we may need to look at. that is the masterstroke. brilliant. no money involved in all sorts of pr out of it. let us take advantage of having a look at the weather —— farrell look at the weather. i initially here on a thursday or friday. hello. nice to have you on a wednesday. good morning, everyone. this morning it isa good morning, everyone. this morning it is a fairly mild start for me of us. it will be a mild day. the next couple of days will be mild. currently we have been across the northern half of the country. it is windy as well. that will push northwards and the north willjoin the south in having a great afternoon. you can see the isobars are afternoon. you can see the isobars a re close afternoon. you can see the isobars are close together, so wherever you are close together, so wherever you are it will be windy or breezy, the stronger swims with exposure in the west. coupled with that, is a lot of cloud around and rain. rain across northern ireland, wales, the midlands, and scotland. heaviest

across tom cruise and galloway. it will brighten up in northern england and wales. —— humphrys. we are looking at some hazy sunshine. the black circles with the arrows indicate the gusty wind. it will be gusty. as the rain clears northern ireland, england, and scotland, will be left with cloud in its wake. webby fabrics across the north—east of scotland, especially across moray firth and aberdeenshire, we could see 17 degrees. that is above average for this stage in november. the average at time is 8— ten. you can see we are all above average temperatures today. as we had on through the evening and overnight we have the remnants of the cloud continuing across scotland and northern ireland. clearer skies across england and wales. another weather front comes in from the west, introducing some rain. it will be breezy or windy with exposure.

the temperatures are fairly remarkable. especially in the west. double figured temperatures, again where —— above where they should be by day, much less by night. as we push by the east temperatures are a little lower. as we had through tomorrow, we are dragging in this south—westerly wind. across the whole of the uk tomorrow it will be another mild day. we are going to start off on a grey note for england and wales. with low cloud, patchy mist and fog, some of that will be slow to clear as you would expect at this stage in november. we start to see holes punched in and amongst it, sunshine coming through. the same across scotland. for western scotla nd across scotland. for western scotland and northern ireland, the front continues to advance in towards the west, bringing rain with it. and then on thursday temperatures dip a little bit. thank you very much. i have to warn anyone watching this morning that there are some scary pictures coming up. if you would like to know how you

put the nose on a teddy bear we are about to see. nina is at a teddy bear factory. wait for! right up the nose! no! no! we are at the uk's only teddy bear factory. they had been making them since 1930. i checked with penny. it does not hurt them. she promises me. this is am his family has worked airport four generations. she is cutting the hair of around the eyes of the foxes so they can see on christmas morning. presumably for generations of their makers in your family, presumably for generations of their makers in yourfamily, there must be a lot in your home. a lot yes. almost every year. -- there must be. the retailers expect these will be under lots of christmas trees this year. have a look at these. sulima

features quite heavily. —— slime. we have that unicorn that each unicorn food. it is not talk about what comes out is the other end. things like monopoly. that is a modern twist on a traditional game. jo joins us, a retail expert. what strikes you when you look at this? i am thinking, we have been talking about plastic a lot recently, there are still quite a lot out there. there is a lot of plastic. lego is clearly made of plastic, but that is fairly sustainable because it is incurable and may be used for decades and generations. some of these other toys have a lot of plastic that might end up in landfill within a month. interestingly, the wrapping itself, or the unwrapping has become part of it, part of the process. yes. for example be lol dolls pop up store has a youtube video. young children are watching other children unwrapping toys on youtube. that has become a form of entertainment for them. it is almost like pass the

parcel, isn't it? yes. if you like that sort of thing the packaging is very cleverly designed to give the child different layers and different exciting things to wonder. it makes ita exciting things to wonder. it makes it a really engaging experience both for the child and video. this lego, which retails at around £90, it could be a collectors item. this christmas collectors items are expected to make up three out of ten of the number of toys under the tree. that is a bit of a resurgence. there are's family has been part of this factory for four generations will stop it is your family's factory —— sarah. have you benefited from a return to collectable items that will fit in a family for a long time, rather than something gone by boxing day? yes, absolutely. what merrythought teddy bears are all about is that it is an investment, it isa about is that it is an investment, it is a teddy bear that stands the test of time that a child will grow up test of time that a child will grow up with and have for a lifetime and potentially hand down to their children. it is the antidote almost to the more fashionable toys that

come into fashion for christmas and then go again at the next year and then go again at the next year and then the new fad comes in. if —— it is the different end of the spectrum. the british brand tends to travel well abroad was absolutely. merrythought would not be here now without the export markets. merrythought would not be here now without the export marketsm merrythought would not be here now without the export markets. it was my father who introduced merrythought to japan in the 1990s, and that has really seen us through. where the british market was very tough. certainly british heritage brands such as merrythought have had a real following across the world. so the japanese have saved these bears. icq and almost impossible challenge to give chip, my teddy bear from when challenge to give chip, my teddy bearfrom when i challenge to give chip, my teddy bear from when i was born a challenge to give chip, my teddy bearfrom when i was born a bit challenge to give chip, my teddy bear from when i was born a bit of a makeover. we have smart and hinett -- him makeover. we have smart and hinett —— him up and puta ribbon on him. she has taken his ribbon off. we will have a look at him a little later. we will put it on so it is

ready for christmas day. back to you. chip is on the road to recovery. excellent. when you get rid of your old phones, tablets or tvs, there's one thing that many of us hang on to. the cables. this pic is making it quite stressed. you never know, they may come in handy one day. or at least that's the theory. but you just end up with a box full of useless wires. i moved what about two weeks ago and i don't think i have looked inside it four years. well, two men have decided to do something about it. 0h, another blue one. you have now purged your cables. can i ask you to

show me your cables? that is rather a personal question. how does a man part with his cables? with difficulty. hey, sonia lewis, have you brought some cables? we are in colchester and i'm spending the day with anthony and darius. they mutate. that is your cable equivalent of japanese knotweed. two friends who know that millions of us have a secret... why do we hang onto redundant cables filled with valuable copper? they can be recycled, all we need to do is accept that with these particular sockets it's over. so, gentlemen, seriously, how did you into this business? you go. i had a box of cables.

he had a box of cables... i said to anthony, we have got to give this up. but i don't want to throw them away into landfill. so we how to create an event, encourage others tojoin us, and then we will get the cables sorted, organised, and recycled, all give them away if anybody really, really wants one. and so was born the cable amnesty. you have got a lot of cables here. yes, they had a good life. was it difficult to say goodbye to them? laughter no. i felt it jubilant because i have got the space. i've thrown them all away. and i haven't told my husband. it's going to come back. it died years ago.

this is your passport to hell. i don't know what it is. ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner! you show me bakelite i go a little bit weak at the knees. that is a beautiful cable. we have hidden in our homes 370,000 tons of cable and much of it will never ever be used again. the cable crusade, it's only just begun. david sillito, bbc news, colchester. that it has made you think. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm charlotte franks. a man's been charged with murdering his wife in balham. 62—year—old tanseen sheikh was found at an address in balham park road on monday night at around 11:30.

may be from time to time, a fresh southerly breeze but temperatures defiant, still looking at a maximum of 15 celsius. above average for the middle of november. overnight there is more cloud. fairly low, thick cloud as well. likely to see mist and fog developing by dawn tomorrow morning. again, a mild night, the minimum 8—9 celsius. that mist and fog will develop because the wind is a little lighter. it will not be as breezy heading into thursday. the mist and murk, low cloud will take its time to lift. gradually it should start to break up and we will get some spells of sunshine, especially through the afternoon. temperatures tomorrow, 16, maybe even 17 celsius. friday, quite a misty, murky start to the day. there will be more cloud around on the whole on friday. temperatures are a touch cooler. gradually the temperatures start to slip away getting much cooler into next week. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour.

in downing street last night. one—to—one sessions are continuing this morning. labour, the democratic unionists and number of conservative mps have said they're likely to oppose the plan. our political correspondent alex forsyth has more. a warning, this report contains flash photography. one by one, ministers went to downing street last night, a chance to see the detail of this draft agreement in private before deciding whether to back it later today. reporter: have you been twisting some arms, mrsmith? no, not twisting any arms... while some might seem confident, others are said to have reservations about the terms of departure that officials have drawn up. even before the details were announced, brexiteer tories were briefing against it. one even warned he could withdraw his support from theresa may. i haven't written to sir graham brady, but there comes a point at which the policy and the individual become so intimately interconnected, and it will be very hard to carry on supporting the person promoting this policy. and many who backed remain had concerns too. this was a rally last

night for those who want another public vote. i am not going to accept a deal that will totally undermine our credibility in the whole of the rest of the world, because even if some people in my party cannot see this is a bad deal, everyone else around this entire planet can. cheering and applause the prime minister must win the cabinet's backing here later today if there is going to be a meeting of eu leaders later this month to finalise the deal. some are calling for calm. a lot of progress has been made. the united kingdom has worked extremely hard and the negotiating team has worked extremely hard to take this agreement forward. it's now for the cabinet to discuss if what we've got is, as the prime minister said, a good dealfor the united kingdom. if the cabinet and the eu agrees, then it is up to parliament. labour and the dup, on whose support theresa may relies, have said they're likely to vote this agreement down. this whole process is still uncertain. alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. our political correspondent ben wright is in downing street

for us this morning. i understand we have had one arrival so farfor i understand we have had one arrival so far for these one—on—one briefings but there is a feeling, isn't there, we spoke earlier to andrew bridgen, there is a feeling this is a prime minister, theresa may, under significant pressure to sell this and sell it well. yeah, definitely, these are dangerous hours and days for theresa may. she faces a parliamentary party com pletely may. she faces a parliamentary party completely split on what to do next, whether to accept this draft agreement or not, whether to oppose it in parliament, or whether to fight against it. brexiteers like andrew bridgen made it clear they will vote in large numbers against it and they think this is a sell—out, it is going to compromise britain, it is handing over sovereignty to the eu. they are furious. she also faces former remain tories who are looking at this and asking what's the point in leaving the eu at all? people like

boris johnson's leaving the eu at all? people like borisjohnson's brother, who quit on friday, who swung behind calls for another referendum. the party com pletely another referendum. the party completely divided. but she has gone for it and she thinks this draft deal agreement that is there now with the eu now is the best there is going to be and that is what she is telling cabinet ministers this morning in one—to—one meetings, meeting key ministers, and 20 minutes ago penny mordaunt, international development secretary, a prominent brexiteer, went into no 10. i imagine right now she's talking one—on—one with the prime minister as theresa may tries to persuade her to get behind this and bind in the cabinet behind this agreement. if she does that, the crunch meeting will happen at two o'clock, and then if there is this progress made we will see the actual documentation. this 500 page doorstop, the draft withdrawal agreement, published later this evening by brussels and a statement by the prime minister tomorrow. it will all move very fast. the next

few hours it is going to be really critical to see if any brexiteer cabinet ministers resign or not. that is what will be making no 10 pretty edgy. ben wright, thank you grey much. in a few minutes we'll be speaking to the shadow business secretary rebecca long—bailey. still plenty more to come this morning. let us know what you think about it because it feels like a significant day in brexit negotiations today. certainly is. in other news. the number of people killed in california's wildfires has now risen to 50 with dozens still missing. firefighters say they've contained the worst of the fires in the north of the state, but they don't expect to bring it fully under control until the end of the month. our correspondent dave lee has sent this report from northern california. this devastating fire has now scorched indiscriminately through approximately 200 square miles of northern california. on the ground in the worst—hit town, called paradise, search teams are using advanced forensic techniques to find and eventually identify the dead. some trapped in their homes, some not able to escape quickly enough. in the south of the state,

a separate blaze has destroyed more than a00 structures, but firefighters there at least feel like they're beginning to see some progress. this is how it looked to those trying to escape the inferno in paradise, in what is now the deadliest blaze in california's history. this footage was filmed by a 16—year—old who was fleeing with his mother. that was six days ago. now the community is trying to start the rebuilding process, including where its children will now go to school. students from paradise high were welcomed into a school in the nearby town of chico. it was the first time many had seen their classmates since the fire. it's tough. all of us have lost our homes, and our community's been wiped out. i was driving home to try and evacuate, get things and i got about a quarter mile from my house and there was just fires erupting everywhere, so my husband called me and just said,

"wherever you are, turn around and get out of there." students from paradise high school may not have any more school buildings to call their own but they're meeting here in order to make sure their school community stays very much intact. teachers have promised the class of 2019 that they will graduate together. dave lee, bbc news, in northern california. tens of thousands of people with type one diabetes will be able to get wearable glucose sensors to help them manage their condition. they are similar to one worn by prime minister theresa may. until now, patients in some parts of the country had been denied access to the devices — but nhs england says from next april it will ensure that the technology is available on prescription to all patients who qualify for it. an nhs trust, at the centre of an alleged maternity—care scandal, is being accused by more than 200 families of failing them with poor care. the bbc has been told that dozens of parents say their babies

died between 1998 and 2017, because of errors by the shrewsbury and telford trust. the trust says it's co—operating fully with an independent review. police investigating the disappearance of madeleine mccann have received a further £150,000 in government funding. the new money will allow detectives to continue their investigation until the end of march next year. madeleine was three—years—old when she went missing from a holiday complex in portugal in may 2007. buckingham palace have issued two new portraits to mark prince charles' 70th birthday. the heir to the throne will spend the occasion having tea with a group of inspirational 70 year olds, before attending a private party put on by the queen at buckingham palace. he has a good day ahead. and to mark his birthday the prince of wales has guest edited an edition of country life magazine.

we'll have the features editor here with us in about ten minutes to hear all about it. the uk premiere of the latest fantastic beasts movie has taken place in london. if you are not familiar with the films... these are based on thejk rowling books, the film, starring eddie redmayne, johnny depp and jude law, is set 70 years before harry potter. lizo mzimba joined the cast on the red carpet. this second fantastic beasts film sees the return of eddie redmayne's creature—loving newt scamander on the trail of grindelwald, a powerful evil wizard. the film's creator and its stars were all on the red carpet giving their take on the story and its meaning. what would you like people to take away as a message from this movie? well, above all i want them to be entertained. you know, i'm not trying to preach to anyone. however, you are absolutely right, the wizarding world is a mirror of our world and we are talking here about a period in wizarding history when there was a rise of what i would call wizarding nationalism. for i do not fight out of hatred.

the setting might be the 1920s but some see modern echoes in the rise to power ofjohnny depp's grindelwald. only in rare souls. it definitely reflects current things, the fear of the other, you know, that idea of leaders, perhaps, seducing and charming rather than just being vehement and ostensibly megalomaniacs. it's an interesting thing. i think in this film we are talking about, you know, someone feeding on fear and on anger, and what that does. some cinemagoers do believe that movies in the film world are beginning to reflect more and more the way they see events in the real world. lizo mzimba, bbc news, london's leicester square. we have a bit more showbiz coming your way, david walliams will be here, his latest book is already the

bestseller of this year after three days, 100,000 copies. i enjoyed it. you don't often get to see mark knopfler, formerly of dire straits, on tv but he is coming in today and has a new album out and he is on brea kfast. you are a huge dire straits than. growing up, that was the album of choice. anything from them was beautiful. carroll will have their weather shortly but let's return to our top story. ministers were given details of the 500—page draft brexit agreement in individual briefings in downing street last night. one—to—one sessions will continue this morning. labour, the democratic unionists and a number of conservative mps have all said they're likely to oppose the plan. joining us now is the shadow business secretary rebecca long—bailey. good morning. thank you forjoining us. i know you haven't seen this yet but you seem to be one of those opposing it already. can you tell us

the details? let's be clear, we haven't seen any of the 500 page document, we have just haven't seen any of the 500 page document, we havejust heard haven't seen any of the 500 page document, we have just heard the gossip and speculation over the last 2a hours and we will examine the deal in extreme detail, but based on the shambolic negotiations we have seen so far, i fear we are not going to see a deal that puts the economy, jobs and living standards first, and ifear jobs and living standards first, and i fear that theresa may has left many of the community is she should have been bringing together delivering a good quality of life to down quite dramatically. is this pa rt down quite dramatically. is this part of a broader plan to force a general election at some stage? no, not at all. what we have got to do is make sure we push ahead for a deal that puts the economy first. we have been clear about that and stated we want a deal that ensures we have a customs union arrangement, full single market access and a deal that has a floor under rights and protections and environmental standards. if theresa may cannot deliver that deal in parliament and parliament doesn't support that, then quite frankly i would question

then quite frankly i would question the legitimacy she has to carry on. she would be under an obligation to renegotiate and examine and consider the use use there have been presented to her. if she cannot do that she should call a general election and allow the country to decide which political party they wa nt to decide which political party they want to continue negotiations. are theirs and colleagues of yours in theirs and colleagues of yours in the labour party who you think might back this plan because they are worried about the consequences of potentially getting to a no—deal scenario? and if there are those, what would you say to them this morning? no deal or a bad deal is not an option for the labour party and we have been very clear about that. we had a fantastic discussion about this at our recent labour party conference. we are trying to get a deal that puts the economy first. if that does not pass through parliament, or theresa may cannot present a deal that satisfies our criteria, then we push for a general election. if that does not happen, however, and we have been very clear that all options should be on the table to avoid a no deal, or a bad deal situation to break the impasse.

if all options are on the table, it would be nice to get some clarity on this from you this morning. i know you don't speak for everyone in the labour party but to your mind, if there is no general election called at some stage, if this doesn't go through, would you then be in a position to back the people's vote campaign? it is important that we are flexible and keep all options on the table. am asking you specifically about that. if theresa may cannot secure that. if theresa may cannot secure that deal and it is voted down in parliament we want to push for a general election. if that refuses to happen and she refuses to hold a general election and we seem to be hurtling towards a new deal or extreme the bad deal situation without the consent of parliament, then we keep all options on the table and that includes a people's vote but that is not something we are pushing for, we want to see a good deal that respects the

referendum and delivers for all regions and nations of the uk. we had an enlightening them on the programme yesterday when one of our political correspondents chris mason said, ijust don't have the foggiest what is going to happen with brexit, i don't know and not many other people do either. we had a huge response through social media saying, at last somebody says that they cannot speak with certainty and they cannot speak with certainty and the genuinely don't know what the a nswer the genuinely don't know what the answer will be. and that sometimes it's the nail on the head. we had this morning, we were speaking to andrew bridge in, and he said that this is worse than chequers when he had not even see a page of this d raft had not even see a page of this draft agreement. do you not think sometimes that people in your possession were able to notjust speak dogmatically with a degree of certainty, there are many subjects around this deal and brexit more generally which you can't speak about with certainty, and sometimes it is owed to —— it is ok to say, i don't really know the answer. we

don't really know the answer. we don't have any certainty with brexit so farand don't have any certainty with brexit so far and that is one of the problems. that is highlighted by the shambolic negotiations we have seen. the cbi reported that four out of five businesses have stopped investing because there is no certainty. that is incredibly damaging, so it is notjust the no deal situation that is damaging for the economy, the fact that we are floating from one position to the other. what we needed clarity, and a deal put forward by the prime minister that satisfies the needs for are economy, living standards and rights and protections to be put right at the heart of it, and i really do hope that she can present that and we will it scrutinise that in extreme detail, but we are in a very critical position at the moment and we have got to provide that certainty to businesses and communities, as you say. rebecca long—bailey, thank you. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. that is a lovely picture behind you. isn't it beautiful? sent in by one

of our weather watchers. we've had lots of lovely sunrisers. we have some rain in the northern half of the country. it is windy, pushing northwards, then we will see some sunny spells. you can see the rain pushing across northern ireland, scotla nd pushing across northern ireland, scotland and wales and northern ireland. you can see the direction it is taking, moving to the north—east. those isobars tell you it is going to be windy, especially so with exposure in the west. breezy in the south—east. first thing this morning, it is the south and the south—east bearing best in terms of sunshine. cloud and rain continuing to move steadily north through the course of the day, fragmenting as it does so across scotland, so by the afternoon, there will still be some spots of rain around what were we see breaks in the cloud, aberdeenshire, the moray firth, it could hit 17 celsius. behind the rainfor could hit 17 celsius. behind the rain for northern ireland and northern england and parts of scotland, there will be a lot of cloud left but for wales and much of

the rest of england, hazy sunshine and temperatures up to the mid—teens at best, up to about 15. heading on through the evening and overnight, cloud across northern ireland and scotland, clear skies for the south, but we also have this weather front coming in from the west, introducing rain and once again it is going to be breezy or windy towards the west. what is remarkable is the overnight temperatures, 11 and 12. pretty good temperatures, 11 and 12. pretty good temperatures for our afternoon maximums, and pretty good for the overnight lows as well. heading into tomorrow, mist and fog will be slow tomorrow, mist and fog will be slow to clear, there will be low cloud around. still some sunshine to be had. this cloud breaking up through the course of the day. rain advancing into western scotland and northern ireland. temperatures tomorrow in the south—east could get up tomorrow in the south—east could get up to about 17. friday starts on a

grey note, with more cloud around, than on thursday, the best of the brea ks than on thursday, the best of the breaks across the far north—east. then we are waiting on another system coming in from the west, being blocked by an area of high pressure. temperatures dipping as the wind veers to the south—east. into the "me more sunshine, increasing sunshine, as we go through the weekend me but temperatures would nudge down a touch. still, we're looking at between ten and 13, dan and naga. pleasa nt between ten and 13, dan and naga. pleasant for the time of year. indeed. carroll, thank you very much. it's prince charles' 70th birthday today, and to mark the occasion he's revealed his love for a beauty spot in aberdeenshire and a rather unusual appetite for pheasant crumble. the heir to the throne has guest edited a special edition of country life magazine. as well as giving us an insight into his tastes, he's used the platform to emphasise

the importance of the countryside. country life's features editor, paula lester, worked closely with the prince of wales on this, and joins us now. that and joins us now. is the addition of the magazine. that is the addition of the magazine. hot off the press. tell me about the number of meetings he had, pages he contributed. he had a huge input. he hasn't just pages he contributed. he had a huge input. he hasn'tjust put his name on things. we met with him twice. i have corresponded, sent at least 1000 e—mails to a very small team at clarence house. he's not on e-mail. he doesn't have a computer, he doesn't have a phone. i would deal with them and they send a message to him on paper in a red box overnight then he would come back and tell me exactly what he wanted me to do. quite detailed input, then, you have met him in person a few times as

well. there is nothing in here that he has not requested or seen or asked to do. having worked with him closely on this, what they see passionate about, and what does this reflect the man he is at 70 years old? his deep love of the countryside and his campaigning for the environment, something he has been doing for a very long time. on the bbc documentary last week, we saw prince william and prince harry looking at their father talking about single use plastics. since the 19705. this is a man who history has not been kind to, he was one sort of dismissed as a bit of a crank and rather eccentric and talking to plants, but actually, a lot of the things that he really cares about are now coming through, and his views are something that resonate with our readers. his family has got involved. there is a very moving letter in there from prince william. how did that come about? we've

account —— we were contacted by the duke of cambridge through clarence house because he wanted to pay tribute to his father's immense contribution to rural affairs. so of course we said yes. and he has written a very sort of touching tribute to his father, saying how much his father's love of nature has influenced him and how he wants to pass that on to his children, and thatis pass that on to his children, and that is something that, when we saw the prince of wales a couple of weeks ago, and went through the last proofs, he commented and said how much it meant to him that william had taken on that knowledge because he thought that the boys just took the mickey arthur vim and hadn't taken it on, but they had. do you think of all the things that would be discussed, one of the things in the top five in the debate about a crumble, and should it be savoury or sweet? because that has engulfed us, here. with crumble you have to have

custard, and you cannot have that with pheasant crumble. i'm a gamekeeper‘s daughter, i am married toa gamekeeper‘s daughter, i am married to a gamekeeper, i have a ready supply of pheasant, and i have to say that it is delicious. anyone out there who is not sure about a savoury crumble, it is fantastic. this is the chef at the ritz, cooking a pheasant crumble. he is an expert chef, john williams, and he knows exactly what he's doing. there are some stages in the process, about boiling down the stock and adding a roux and adding herbs, but it is delicious, so please try it. i've never had pheasant in my life, it would be a first taste sensation. what else should we be surprised about? the thing about this issue is it is highly personal. there is a beautiful picture of the view on the

balmoral estate across to the summit of lochnagar, which the prince writes about, he says that it never fails to lift his spirits. the other thing that is important in this issueis thing that is important in this issue is the leader, a four page piece where he talks about how important it is to look after the countryside and particularly the people who live and work in it. in our increasingly urban society, it is really good that the countryside has a strong voice, someone who is quietly working behind—the—scenes, to try to help people. the last time he edited it was your biggest selling edition, wasn't it? we will see what happens with this one. we hope that it will be again. thank you, i'm off to cook a pheasant crumble later! try it! remember your favourite teddy bear? nina is getting is into the teddy bear spirit. good morning. i know that

you have been waiting all morning to see how the makeover went. i have not seen him yet. and my goodness, look, he has got two eyes again. he will have proper double vision now for christmas and he has a bow tie on, lovely. we will be talking about the toys of christmas, that retailers expect to be under lots of christmas trees. we'll be talking to the experts a little bit later on. now here, they are making lots of collecta bles. now here, they are making lots of collectables. we expect lots more of those to be under christmas trees this year. those are toys that will last a little bit longer. first, the news, travel and weather whether you are this morning. mild wherever you are in the uk with
