8:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with tina daheley and ben thompson. our headlines today. president trump visits the site of californa's deadliest wildfires as the number killed and missing continues to rise. stand up to eu "bullies" — former brexit secretary dominic raab says the uk must be prepared to walk away from negotiations with brussels. england's cricketers have wrapped up the series win in sri lanka this morning, their first there in 17 years. and in weather, it's going to be a sunny sunday almost uk wide but it's a chilly start and colder air is on its way. i've got the details here on breakfast. it's sunday the 18th of november. we will also talk to tony blackburn and little later because i'm a celebrity is back on our screens tonight. we will speak to the first
8:01 am
winner of the series. and mats from the weather is not on it! good morning. our top story. president trump has visited northern california to see the devastation caused by wildfires, the worst ever in the state. this morning, officials said five more bodies have been recovered bringing the total number of deaths to 76. more than 1,200 people are still missing. our correspondent dave lee has more. this isjust a glimpse of the kind of bravery shown by those tackling california's fires. this footage was taken from a security camera outside a house in southern california. on saturday, president trump visited affected areas to see the devastation for himself. he began his trip in the north, where most of those killed by this fire have been found so far. he was met on the tarmac by california's governor, jerry brown, and the man who will take over from him injanuary, governor—elect gavin newsom,
8:02 am
both men who clashed publicly with the president for blaming what he said was poor forest management before offering any condolences to the dead. the president struck much more conciliatory tone in person. we're all going to work together, and we'll do a realjob. but this is very sad to see. as far as the lives are concerned, nobody knows quite yet. we're up to a certain number, but we have a lot of people that are unaccounted for. the next few days provide new challenges. those fighting the blaze are welcoming the forecast of rain, but those taking care of recovery efforts worry it could make their work even more difficult. as of tonight, the current list of unaccounted for individuals stands at 1276, which is an increase today of 265 over yesterday. that's due in large part to our continuing effort to mine the data. meanwhile, others in the state continue to suffer from
8:03 am
dangerously poor air quality. spending the day outside, experts have said, is like smoking half a packet of cigarettes. dominic raab, who resigned as brexit secretary in protest at theresa may's brexit deal, has said the uk should not allow itself to be bullied and blackmailed by the eu. in an interview with the sunday times, he criticises a lack of resolve in dealing with brussels, and says britain must be prepared to walk away from negotiations. the prime minister is again defending her proposed deal, saying that if mps reject it they will take the process back to square one. let's speak to our political correspondent peter saull, who is in westminsterfor us. what else has mr raab been saying? dominic raab is insisting that he does still back the prime minister but he really is laying into her d raft but he really is laying into her draft brexit steal this morning,
8:04 am
accusing her of failing to stand up to what he calls the bullies in brussels. these are the kind of comments that will go down well in some pro—brexit circles but they will not be well received by team theresa may who insist that theirs is the only plausible way forward. what dominic raab wants is for the uk to be able to take its own decision to exit this so—called backstop, the insurance policy to avoid a hard border in ireland. the deal said that decision would be taken alongside the european union and its unlikely that the irish government, the republic of ireland, would agree to dominic raab‘s proposals. but he and others around him believe there is still scope to, in their view, improved theresa may's agreement. the government is still trying to get some clarity on one aspect of the deal, the transition period, the two years after we leave the eu. the deal set
8:05 am
that can be extended but it's not clear by how long so that is what they will be working on in the next few days ahead of a planned eu summit next sunday. if we put the deal to one side, what about the future of theresa may? do we know how many letters of no confidence have been submitted so far? we last heard it was in the 20s. we know around 22 conservative mps have gone public and said they have sent in a letter of no confidence to the chair of the backbench 1922 committee of the backbench1922 committee graham brady. he is the only person who knows for sure what the number is. we know this morning the former london mayoral candidate zac goldsmith has sent in a letter. he said that if he knew this would be the brexit steal, he would have voted for remain a couple of years ago. 48 is one magic number, and other is 158. if it were to come to a vote of no confidence, that is the number of conservative mps are needed to win the confidence vote
8:06 am
and the government are confident that theresa may would win that vote if it were to come to pass. the drama is set to continue. 0n the andrew marr programme this morning, dominic raab will be with andrew, so expect more details about what could happen over the next couple of days. some of britain's biggest companies are urging the government to honour a promise to give mental health in the workplace the same status as physical health. executives from 50 companies, including royal mail, wh smith and ford, have written to theresa may, asking her to follow through on last year's manifesto pledge to update health and safety legislation. the government says it will bring forward the recommendations of an independent review. three men are in hospital after a shooting in north london. police say they were called to enfield yesterday evening, and two of the men are believed to have suffered gunshot wounds. no arrests have been made. a woman has died and 200 other people have been injured in demonstrations against rising fuel prices in france. more than a quarter of a million people joined the protests.
8:07 am
the price of diesel in the country has risen by around 23% over the past year, the highest level for nearly 20 years. the government has confirmed plans to allow universities to offer two year, or "accelerated degrees". they would be allowed to charge higher fees per year but overall students would save around £5,500. 0ur education correspondent sean coughlan reports. instead of studying for three years at 30 weeks a year, the government wants more universities to provide fast—track courses, with degrees taught two years, with 45 weeks of studying. these shorter, or intensive courses, would mean savings of about £5,500 tuition fees and a years worth of accommodation and costs. the universities minister thinks it will particularly help to reverse the decline in the number of mature students who might want to reduce the cost, and to get back into work more quickly. even though the overall cost
8:08 am
would be lower than studying for three years, each year would have tuition fees equivalent to about £11,000 per year, above the current maximum limit of £9,250. such a change to the fee system would have to be approved by parliament and that could prove a significant stumbling block. sean coughlan, bbc news. the actorjohn bluthal has died at the age of 89. he was best known for playing the likable but dull parish council secretary frank pickle in the vicar of dibley. i need to hear a little bit for level, so tell us what you had for brea kfast. level, so tell us what you had for breakfast. toast. i need a little bit more than that, so just make something up, let your imagination run wild. wild? great. two pieces of toast. its star dawn french paid tribute on social media, saying "cheeky, naughty, hilarious. bye darlin bluey."
8:09 am
he also appeared in carry on films and worked regularly with spike milligan. very well—known face. very well— known facelj very well-known face. i have seen that clip a few times this morning and it's still funny. coming up to ten minutes past eight. the prime minister is continuing with her bid to win support for her draft brexit agreement, despite opposition from within her own party. theresa may says she's got the best possible deal, but is facing the threat of no—confidence vote by some conservative mps. let's speak to the children's minister nadhim zahawi, he's backing the pm and joins us from westminster. good morning to you. you are backing the prime minister, you think this deal is the right one, why? let me say this. the deal is an comfortable deal but it is uncomfortable for
8:10 am
both sides. we can talk about why thatis, both sides. we can talk about why that is, pasture that is, —— both sides. we can talk about why that is, —— the eu wanted the backstop that is, —— the eu wanted the ba cksto p to that is, —— the eu wanted the backstop to beat northern ireland specific and the prime minister is not having that. if there is to be a backstop, and we have got a choice after the two—year implementation period as to whether we go into the interim inpatient or go into the backstop, it will be a uk backstop and that makes the eu and constable. and it will be an orderly brexit which we need to safeguard jobs and prosperity and the economic miracle that this country has delivered with low and implement. we put that at risk, or the other side which is some politicians who want to rerun the referendum, and he then lose faith, people lose faith in politicians and democracy, both extremes are bad and i think the prime minister's deal actually delivers the orderly brexit and allows us to confidently trade with the eu and the rest of the world.
8:11 am
that is why i am backing it. we will come onto the detail in a moment particularly the backstop which it is one of the biggest starting points. you voted for brexit, in all honesty can you say that what we have on the table now is what you voted for? not only did i voted for brexit but i campaigned for brexit because i think the european union is heading in the wrong direction. they want a single army and continue with free movement, and they want to have a single budget. for germany to stand behind the christie, they need to control the budgets of spain and italy and other countries. —— for germany to stand by in the currency. the deal deals with the issue of free movement. the british people didn't want people to freely come to this country without making sure that we control our borders and decide who enters our country. the deal also deals with the whole issue
8:12 am
of trade. we will have a free trade agreement with europe. the outlines have been set up, i would like to see more detail, hopefully we will see more detail, hopefully we will see more detail, hopefully we will see more by the summit on the 25th of november. so we can trade confidently with europe and with the rest of the world. and of course on fishing and farming, we come out of the common agricultural policy and the common agricultural policy and the common agricultural policy and the common fisheries policy, which is what our fishermen and farmers wanted. there are a lot of things in the deal which deliver the brexit that we wanted but in an orderly fashion. it is an imperfect deal and uncomfortable for both sides, but it is the best deal to safeguard jobs and deliver on the promise of the 17.4 million people who want to leave the european union. some things this deal does deliver on but there are some very clear issue that it does not deliver on. would you still have been a passionate campaigner for brexit if you knew that this is what we were going to
8:13 am
end up with? yes, i would come and i will tell you why. i mentioned it at the outset. europe will head towards having a single budget controlled effectively by germany because for germany to stand behind the currency, germany has to effectively subsidised countries like italy and spain and others who are struggling at the moment, they need a single budget. europe will move towards a single army. they have shown no signs of changing the whole issue of free movement. all of those three things, we as the british people will not buy into. i don't believe the bridge people want that. i also don't believe the british people will access the idea that the referendum has to be rerun and they have to come up with a different a nswer have to come up with a different answer because the political elites to not like it. both extremes are wrong on this. coming out with no deal will harm the economy. look at what happened when the market
8:14 am
thought that there was going to be no deal, the pound came under pressure, not just financial services and property companies but retailers came under pressure. i believe we can avoid the correction, whatever it looks like, making people poorer is not a good idea. i think we do not want to be there. lord we want to be in a place where we renege on the promise we made the british people where we leave. the market reaction, i talked to a lot of city reactors and traders and they don't think it is a good deal, it is the least bad deal and no deal is the dangerous one so the markets we re is the dangerous one so the markets were not too affected by the prospect by this deal. let's talk about the detail. you touched on the backstop, i was in edinburgh on friday talking to scottish businesses. their big worry is that northern ireland is in a much better position than they are. this has real indications for the future of the union, doesn't it? ——
8:15 am
implications for the future of the union? the deal deals with it quite eloquently, gb will track northern ireland in terms of regulations and its position. that is a good thing, thatis its position. that is a good thing, that is why the prime minister is in a good place here. she went back and said, iam a good place here. she went back and said, i am not going to allow you to carve out northern ireland and keep it inside of the single market and the customs union, i want a temporary customs arrangements for the whole of the uk whilst we increment this deal over the next two years. —— implement this deal. if we choose to have this backstop, it has effectively allowed the whole of the uk to remain in a sort of temporary customs arrangements. but the rest of great britain would follow northern ireland so there is no separation in our country. this relies on coming up with that future trading agreement that we have no indication will happen. this is all based on a promise of yes we will
8:16 am
get a deal, we have no detail on what that deal will look like and it could put northern ireland in a better position, more closely aligned with europe as far as business is concerned. we have principles of what the deal will look like. i want to point out to your view was one other thing. i was pleasa ntly your view was one other thing. i was pleasantly surprised that the prime minister managed to get services into the principles into the future of principle trade deal with your because that is 80% of our economy. she also managed to get the idea that the financial services have equivalents of the european financial services, i did not think they would go for that because i thought countries like france were keeping a bdi on the financial services thinking they could lift it into paris. —— keeping a bdi. 0f course we want to see more detail. the whole ideal of the two—year
8:17 am
implementation is that we can deliver and strike the best free trade agreement possible that the eu and allow us to confidently go to the rest of the world and strike trade deals. this is a good dealfor britain. you are right, it is a compromise. it is uncomfortable but it is uncomfortable for both sides andi it is uncomfortable for both sides and i would urge my colleagues to think long and hard. politics is a tea m think long and hard. politics is a team game. 0nce think long and hard. politics is a team game. once you start attacking your own team, people don't vote for you. i stood your own team, people don't vote for you. istood in your own team, people don't vote for you. i stood in 97 in south—east london whenjohn major was leader of oui’ london whenjohn major was leader of our party and we got taken apart because we would this united. -- we we re because we would this united. -- we were not united. 0ne because we would this united. -- we were not united. one of the biggest ideasis were not united. one of the biggest ideas is about bringing back control, taking back control of what we do asa control, taking back control of what we do as a country. the danger is with this scenario, we are subject to rules over which we have no say—so theresa may will struggle to get this to parliament when it goes
8:18 am
to abode. how confident are you that she can get it through?|j to abode. how confident are you that she can get it through? i think the collea g u es she can get it through? i think the colleagues who focus on the national interest will vote for this deal. when we leave the eu after the implementation period, they wanted the ec] to havejurisdiction implementation period, they wanted the ec] to have jurisdiction and we said we could not have that. when you have a free—trade agreement with a sovereign state and another set of countries, there has to be to arbitration by someone else, not your own courts 01’ oui’ arbitration by someone else, not your own courts 01’ our own arbitration by someone else, not your own courts or our own courts. they have accepted that principle, rightly so. i think this deal is in the national interest. if all delivered the brexit that people have instructed us to deliver but will also safeguard jobs and prosperity in this country and we can move forward confidently trading with the eu and the rest of the world. briefly, if the timing minister does not get this through, what happens? let's go through that scenario. the prime minister goes to
8:19 am
the eu summit, the additional details have to be worked out in the implementation period, what does that period look like? that is not in the deal at the moment. it comes back to parliament and parliament, the procedure committee put out a report on this, parliament can put forward a number of members and then we have to have a meaningful vote on the deal. —— number of amendments. we have to have a meaningful vote on the deal. —— number ofamendments. i think when colleagues look at the detail, last night, one of the media organisations, i think it was a spectator or the telegraph, put out 40 points as to why this deal is a bad deal. if you look at the rebuttal from number ten, point bad deal. if you look at the rebuttalfrom number ten, point by point is, it made sense that week that this deal. i think the prime minister has a very good chance of getting this deal through because it is in the national interest. it's good to talk to, thank you. it is 8:20am. you've been sending us your sunrise pictures this morning. chris sent us this beautifully
8:20 am
misty sunrise from ewerby in lincolnshire. and this is eary morning mist clearing from conwyn valley, thanks to mark for sending that on twitter. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. he has said that it will be getting cooler but it does mean we get good views like that. there is a bitterfrost there is a bitter frost there as well. it is a chilly start this morning and it will be colder going into next week. this is a shot from midlothian in southern scotland, a lovely blue sky and that is how it will be for most of you. sunny skies will be for most of you. sunny skies will dominate after the chilly start. a little bit of cloud here and there, we have clearer skies moving in the near confident but we have seen some mist and low cloud
8:21 am
forming in part of the midland, the pennines and eastern scotland. there will be patchy cloud over higher ground here and in shetland. but for the vast majority, blue skies. the winds lighter in the southern half of the country. it will be strengthening in the northern half and it will be more of an icy chill. temperatures where they should be today, a bit above average. it could get 15 degrees in western scotland. the slice of milder air is across the far west of europe, it could get to 16 degrees on the north coast of iceland, well above where they should be. germany is five or six at best. that is of interest to us because that is where the air is coming from in the next four hours. strengthening easterly wind bringing more cloud later tonight, in the west you will stay clearest for longest. don't be surprised if you wa ke longest. don't be surprised if you wake up tomorrow morning to see some
8:22 am
frost, ca rs wake up tomorrow morning to see some frost, cars and the grass. but frost free in the east, too much cloud and breeze. more cloud tomorrow, it is less sunshine, not feeling is warm. best of the sunshine in the west and the breeze will add to the chill. thicker cloud at times, threatening the odd light shower in parts of scotla nd the odd light shower in parts of scotland and england. temperatures dropping into single figures for the vast majority through monday afternoon. we continually easterly flow through monday night and into tuesday. bringing ever colder air and areas of cloud our way. for tuesday, we could see a few more showers around, particularly for northern england, north wales and have the counties. they could turn a wintry over higher ground. single figures for all on cheese day. close to freezing because of the strength of the wind. we have been warned, it is turning
8:23 am
colder! you're watching breakfast from bbc news, time now for a look at the newspapers. technology expert dan sodergren is here to tell us what's caught his eye. we'll speak to dan in a minute. there is a text even to your choices? —— a technology theme? there is a text even to your choices? -- a technology theme? this is about how chatbots are becoming more popular. it is the thing of talking to people on facebook, customer service robot, it is helping you buy something. there are lots of these chatbots outlook all built with algorithms, a bit of software. they are doing really well. the darker side of it is that they are sometimes found in
8:24 am
elections, where people, you look and about 10% of them are chatbots. i like to think i would be able to spot them. there is a lovely thing you can use called bot—o—meter. there is an apt for everything! human beings find it very difficult to do, there is a dark art to this, it's very clever, done with machine learning and ai. there are a lot of apps out there, there are things like bot—o—meter which will check whether a twitter account is a real person. they are initially for dealing with mundane tasks like logging on and asking for train times? yes, things like call centres and customer service. they have evolved and they are now things like mental health apps, there is one called cleo, they could replace lots of people's jobs in some respect.
8:25 am
very clever bits of kit. they could be used for good but potentially bad? yes, you can use them in age are, does regret hr, they're both sides to this. speaking of speaking. this is in the telegraph? this is about losing words from our language. i thought with the chatbots thing, they don't know all of the different nuances. so that might be how you can tell if they are bots. you could find that out with using northern dialect. there are 600 words coming out of fashion, this man has written a book about it. there are a of them which i can't say because they are bit naughty. i like the idea that technology means that we could lose language, you lose the nuance and
8:26 am
you can't thinking a certain way.|j can't keep up with the diets and what you should be eating, but this isa what you should be eating, but this is a high—fat diet lowering the risk of dementia? yes, one in six people over 80 have dementia. what they are finding, a study in shanghai, high—fat diets live as your risk of getting dementia. the worry is early dementia, ifound getting dementia. the worry is early dementia, i found out getting dementia. the worry is early dementia, ifound out that i had type two dear —— diabetes, and this study found that a high—fat diet helps with diabetes and dementia so this high—fat low carb way of looking at life could be good for us. looking at life could be good for us. this is food related as well. i'm a celebrity starts tonight, a
8:27 am
supermarket getting in on the act, sainsbury‘s saying, they are going to sell edible insects. no, no, no, absolutely not! i wonder if this new proteins could be the future. they area proteins could be the future. they are a very good source of protein. very good for the environment but i don't think they will go down well at christmas. the spokesman at sainsbury‘s say, the crickets are crunchy with a rich smoky flavour, they can be a snack or a garnish! no, thanks. thank you for leaving us with that thought! it's been quite the week, politically speaking, so the andrew marr show will have plenty to talk about. andrew, who's with you today? most importantly, here is the 580 odd pages of britain's withdrawal agreement. since we do public service broadcasting on the bbc, i
8:28 am
thought i'd would slowly read my way through it at 10am. 0r alternatively, i could interview dominic raab, the main rebel who left the government and plunged it into crisis. and talk to scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon about her worries and also labour's chamois truck about it. so i think i will do that! thank you, we will see you later. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with tina daheley and ben thompson. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. president trump has visited northern california to see the devastation caused by the worst ever wildfires in the state. this morning, officials said five more bodies have been recovered, bringing the total number of deaths to 76. mr trump said the fires had not changed his views about climate change, and said improvement to forest management would make sure that a blaze on such a scale did not happen again. 0ur correspondent dave lee sent this update from the town of chico in northern california where the worst of the fires have been raging.
8:29 am
it is now more than a week on since this huge wildfire devastated the town of paradise and there are still many hundreds of people unaccounted for. those who did make it out are still in places like this, this is an unofficial area for those who fled the fire and didn't have anywhere else to go. gradually we are expecting this place to thin out as people are being offered free bus rides and free ride shares to get a proper shelter around an hour or so drive from where we are. when they get there they are going to be greeted with proper supplies, a place to sleep, but also help with the next steps, getting the financial support to try to move on from what has happened to them here. president trump has been in the area surveying the damage for himself and also offering his support to the firefighters that are still tackling this blaze up in the hills here. he removed his threats, or rescinded his threats, to take away federal funding from california because of bad forest management.
8:30 am
he now says funding will be made available and he and governorjerry brown will work together to solve this problem for california. as for the people that are here, you can see behind me is the first blue sky since the fires happened. dave lee, bbc news, in chico. the government has confirmed plans to allow universities to offer two year, or "accelerated degrees". they would be allowed to charge higherfees per year but overall students would save around five and a half thousand pounds. the shorter courses will be of the same quality as standard degrees and will provide the same level of qualification. three men are in hospital after a shooting in north london. police say they were called to enfield yesterday evening, and two of the men are believed to have suffered gunshot wounds. no arrests have been made. the mp and brexiteer nadhim zahawi has told this programme that he would vote the same way again despite the uncertainty the brexit he voted for.
8:31 am
the children's minister admitted the deal was a compromise but offered the best dealfor britain. this is a good, good dealfor britain. you are absolutely right. this is a compromise. but i would urge my colleagues to think long and hard. politics is a team game and if you don't stand for the team, people would vote for you. i stood when john major was leader of our party and we got taken apart because we we re and we got taken apart because we were disunited. president trump has said the us will determine in the next few days who it thinks was behind the murder of the saudi journalist, jamal khashoggi. there have been reports that the cia believes mr khashoggi's killing was ordered by crown prince mohammed bin salman. saudi arabia has blamed rogue intelligence agents. thousands of young people have found a rather unique way to make sure their climate change message is heard, by trying to set a world record for the biggest postcard of all time.
8:32 am
it's on a glacier high up in the swiss alps and features 125,000 drawings from children all over the world. it's urging governments to come together to help stop global temperatures rising by more than 1.5 celsius. very original. those are the main stories this morning. time to get some sport with will. cricket. won the series that went into a rather dramatic 50 in schleicher. their first rather dramatic 50 in schleicher. theirfirst win in17 rather dramatic 50 in schleicher. their first win in 17 years. england made short work of it this morning. it took them just half an hour to get the three wickets they needed to finish off the home side, win the second test and with it the series. moeen ali ended up with four wickets, jack leach got five in just his third test match for england. one more test left, but plenty
8:33 am
of positives for england in a part of the world where they've really struggled in years gone by. dublin was the place to be last night! there will be some sore heads this morning and i'm notjust talking about the players because ireland beat the mighty all blacks forjust the second time — the first on irish soil. it was the standout result on a big day of autumn international rugby as our sports correspondent joe wilson reports. in one place, the best two teams in the world, this was intense. ireland had to keep new zealand moving, keep them guessing, switch the play and there was jacob stockdale, you kick and hope. the bounce worked. could he stretch? that was the moment. but defence is just as important. look at peter armani, snatching the ball a split second before the all blacks could grab it and score.
8:34 am
new zealand were attacking until the last, no way through. 16—9, ireland have beaten the best in dublin, now they just need to win the world cup. elsewhere, scotland took on south africa with their free running, freethinking kind of rugby. that is a great try from scotland! but south africa's outstanding player said small moments were big moments, they held on to win. in cardiff, wales met tongan red with steel. their shirts are anthracite colour officially. there were new combinations in the kits. ten welsh tries displayed strength in depth and strength in character. wales cut loose with 74 points in the end, lovely when a plan comes together. we spoke all week about timing and coming through at the end and it panned out exactly
8:35 am
the way we thought. it was tough for us but we made it tougher for them. japan made it truly tough for england at twickenham, bursting through the grey areas in england's defence to lead at half—time. confronted by huge embarrassment, potentially, england responded eventually. 35-15. if it is how you finish that counts, england did enough. joe wilson, bbc news. there was a strange ending to the semis at the atp world tour finals, as alexander zverev beat roger federer. the german stopped play in the tie break after a ball boy dropped a ball at the back of the court. it's all above board and part of the rules of tenniss, but sections of the crowd didn't like it — and they made their feelings known after zverev had sealed the win. first of all, i want to apologise for the tie—break. the ball boy dropped a ball, it is in the rules that we have to replay the point. i am not sure why you're all booing,
8:36 am
he is telling the truth, the ball boy moved across the court and disrupted the play, i think you have to be a little bit more respectful. it is just unfortunate circumstances. these things happen. booing, i never like it, we see it in other sports, in tennis it is rare so when it happens you feel it is really personal and we take it very direct and i think it is unfortunate that this happened. sascha doesn't deserve it. these naughty english people. so he said it was distracting. yes, he dropped itjust within his eye line. as he is allowed to do. as he
8:37 am
is allowed to do. and fair play to the correspondent. she pointed it out. and so did roger federer. i think the mix—up was the crowd just didn't understand the rules. but tennis crowds are becoming more partisan. even when he was apologising, they were still shouting at him. i have watched the interview, and when they click that they have been a bit harsh, they start to cheer at the end. zverev will play novak djokovic in today's final at the 02. that's after the world number one comfortably beat south africa's kevin anderson. he's been almost perfect at the tournament so far. the 14—time grand slam champion hasn't dropped a set all week. football, and scotland hammered albania 4—0 in the nations league. bournemouth‘s ryan fraser scored the first of the night with a fine curling effort. he was involved in the 4th goal as well, setting up celtic‘s james forrest to dink the ball up and volley into the back of the net. if scotland beat israel at hampden park on tuesday night, they'll be promoted to the second tier of the competition, and also secure a play—off spot for euro 2020.

what an afternoon ahead at wembley. it's winner takes all at as england host croatia in the nations league. it's a repeat of the world cup semi final which of course croatia won. if england win today — they'll top their group, lose and gareth southgate's side will be relegated. we are always improving and i think, in those five matches you have seen since the summer, what we have not done is sit on our laurels and say we are happy with what we did at the world cup and that is it for the year and we look forward to the european championships. we have wanted to keep improving and i think the players have shown that mentality as well. arsenal women will try to maintain their 100% winning record in the women's super league when they take on everton this afternoon. mid table bristol city moved above liverpool with a 2—1win. ella rutherford scored what proved the decisive goal midway through the first half. golf and francesco molanari is on course to win to his first race to dubai title. he can only be denied if tommy fleetwood wins

8:40 am
do i think he meant it? that carries on fora bit, and do i think he meant it? that carries on for a bit, and then you see him going to selby and saying, "sorry, mate." the time now is 40 minutes past eight. in every classroom in the uk, there is at least one child dealing with the death of a loved one — that's according to charity grief encounter. it can be difficult for children to process their feelings, but a new form of bereavement support is being launched later this week, in the form of a mobile app game. it's been designed by child psychologists with the help of the bereaved. psychotherapist louis weinstock and jamie, who lost his dad agde 15, join us now. thank you for coming in to speak to us thank you for coming in to speak to us about what you're doing. where did the idea come from?” us about what you're doing. where did the idea come from? i was working at a hospice in hackney and i realised working with young people who had lost a parent, that there wasn't enough resources out there for them. there are lots of young people who wouldn't engage in a traditional counselling approach. it
8:41 am
is also very expensive and young people are spending more and more time online grieving, so i realised that there was a real need to develop something that would help young people get through the grieving process. actually, that is where i met jamie. jamie, perhaps you could tell us about your story, because you lost your dad two and a half years ago. how did that affect you day to day? day to day, that kind of affected me because of the kind of affected me because of the kind of affected me because of the kind of support that i had from my dad just collapsed so not entirely but... so that kind of left me a bit more isolated and left me going out there and looking for help sort of thing. and sometimes i didn't go down the right path and looking back at it now, if i was looking back, i would want to help myself have an easier path and that is what the game is kind of about. and having
8:42 am
the experience of grief yourself, how has the game helped you?m the experience of grief yourself, how has the game helped you? it has helped me understand my emotions and stuff like that. so this game is kind of designed to counter the sort of emotions and things that happen within that time, so if you can imagine everything is going on in your life and everything just kind of collapses all of a sudden, of course there are times you are going to make various choices and this game is really about trying to limit those risks and for that person who is having a really tough time to make the right decisions. i guess thatis make the right decisions. i guess that is what the aim is, just kind of gaina that is what the aim is, just kind of gain a better perspective of death and stuff like that, helping the person understand what is actually happening. louis, tell us how this works because we heard there from jamie about what it means
8:43 am
day to day, but how does a game helped in the most awful of circumstances? the first thing to say is that young people are spending more time grieving online a nyway spending more time grieving online anyway using social media platforms like facebook and insta ground, but it is often very inappropriate, contained, and unsafe, so in this world, you have a character and you are met on the island by a guide who is essentially your wife died and she wants to join you up to become a guide like her, so the overall aim of the game is that you achieve certain challenges. you do meditations, you learn about the different grief emotions, you listen to stories in the cave from other brief young people. you learn about different perspectives on death and grief are from different traditions and teachers from all around the world, and that will give you the skills that will allow you to turn your suffering into a source of wisdom and strength for others. and ijust wisdom and strength for others. and i just really want to say because one of the most exciting things about this is when you get to a certain level in the game, you
8:44 am
become a guide. you can then apply to share your wisdom with other young people. so then you can help other young people. that is really the main aim. what kind of feedback have you had so far? so far, we have had really good feedback. what young people are finding is that it is a very safe and peaceful place. when you are going to agree, particularly asa you are going to agree, particularly as a young person, in a culture that doesn't like to talk about death, having a space which is kind of a friendly, peaceful environment where there are characters on the island who are gently opening up a conversation and are not shying away from talking about the reality of death by trying to frame it in a way that makes it less frightening and ina way that makes it less frightening and in a way that you can bring more a cce pta nce in a way that you can bring more acceptance to the reality that we are all going to lose someone. we are all going to lose someone. we are all going to lose everyone at some point, and readers don't want to talk about. jamie, when you were going out of looking for that help that in some cases you said just wasn't available, the help that you needed, how would that have helped you? i guess it could have, for one
8:45 am
i probably wouldn't have got kicked out of school. so i think that's one of the main things. i would have probably been more stable in that kind of it. i probably would still be doing sports and stuff. it's... lots of things. just small things like that, not getting kicked out of school. which clearly had a huge impact on the rest of your life, i would huge impact on the rest of your life, iwould imagine. huge impact on the rest of your life, i would imagine. yeah, huge impact on the rest of your life, iwould imagine. yeah, i huge impact on the rest of your life, i would imagine. yeah, i guess so. life, i would imagine. yeah, i guess so. well, thank you so much for coming in and talking about it and for sharing your story. thank you. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. and it is turning colder. it certainly is. it is cold for some. this is a rather chilly shot from darlington in the last hour or so.
8:46 am
it is shaping up to be a nice day despite the chilly start. temperatures down to minus five celsius in parts. like yesterday, it is going to be a blue sky day for the vast majority. we do have some is that low cloud at the moment, but overall this high pressure across scandinavia, we are tapping into an area of clearer skies across the continent. it will clear some of the most ample cloud across the midlands. that will continue across the hills of eastern scotland. same for shetland. foremost, it is sunshine from dawn to dusk. the wind will be lightest in the north and strongest in the south. there will be stronger breeze over the next few days. temperatures for most in double figures, round it should for the time of year, if not a little bit milder. significantly in scotland. 30—15dc for some. the warmerair is scotland. 30—15dc for some. the warmer air is there a little bit milder. significantly in scotland. 30-15dc milder. significantly in scotland. 30—15dc for some. the warmer air is they are across iceland as well. 16 degrees expected on the next 24 hours,
8:47 am
pushing its way in on that strengthening wind. more cloud will come in during the second half of the night. further west, come in during the second half of the night. furtherwest, clearskies for longer. a touch of frost here to ta ke for longer. a touch of frost here to take you into monday morning, but at least across western areas for some there will be some sunshine as well. a bit more cloud than this morning across the eastern half of the country. and more cloud generally on monday lifting its way west words. still some sunshine at times. but the cloud could be thick enough, particularly eastern scotland and england for one or two light but isolated showers, mostly dry throughout the day. temperatures already on the slide, down into single figures for most, and they will slide further as we go through monday night and into tuesday. still bringing in lots of cloud on tuesday on an easterly wind. that will be a bit strong as well. especially across england and wales. a greater
8:48 am
chance of some showers for northern england, north wales and around the bush channel. elsewhere, across england and wales in particular, we re england and wales in particular, were you showers, it is cold and firstly ca n were you showers, it is cold and firstly can slow over the higher ground to be mixed in with the rain and temperatures on the third monitor as well. 6—7dc for the vast majority. 0nce monitor as well. 6—7dc for the vast majority. once you factor in the wind, it will feel closer to freezing. back to you both. closer to winter. thank you. thanks for the warning. nice to see you this morning. have a great sunday. it is approaching ten to nine. a school trip to the theatre can often be a highlight of the term, but as education budgets are squeezed, trips like these are becoming more rare. now an initiative, led by the national theatre, is taking award—winning plays to the classroom to engage more young people in the arts. we're joined now by shiv jalota who stars in the current touring production of ‘the curious incident of the dog in the night—time' and jenna 0meltschenko. perfect.
8:49 am
good morning to you both. tell us about this because it is a punishing schedule. it is 60 schools over 12 weeks and we are going to reach over 12,000 young people over those 12 weeks, so we are taking the national theatre students across the whole of the uk. we start in salford on monday morning. so we are nine weeks and now. and how is it going, shiv? how do you survive that punishing schedule and also what you get out of it? because being able to speak directly to those children who perhaps would never have been able to witness are experiencing anything like it. it has been so rewarding for myself, bringing it into schools. it is a 90 minute show and it is an endurance test. it has been such a rewarding experience because it is young audience members that have never seen theatre. so the reactions are so
8:50 am
have never seen theatre. so the reactions are so raw have never seen theatre. so the reactions are so raw and so on a stand at first they are so, so very giddy and excited but by the end of the play they are so focused into the play they are so focused into the world of christopher, which is such a beautiful thing to see. and the story at the heart is so important. it is so good at that has won so many awards and it has toured all over the world and it is not necessarily a story about a boy who is highly functioning but has autism. it is about being an outsider. and think how i approached it and especially for young people it and especially for young people it is about how it is ok to be different and unique. it is a beautiful thing. and i hope that's what they take away from that character. and, as shiv says there are, the children were becoming giddy with excitement. what you hope they go away thinking or feeling at they go away thinking or feeling at the end of that experience?” they go away thinking or feeling at the end of that experience? i think ona the end of that experience? i think on a very the end of that experience? i think on a very base level, you want them to have a really good time and really enjoy it but also at the national theatre we believe very much that all young people should have access to the theatre and to the arts and if we can inspire the next generation of young people to
8:51 am
wa nt to next generation of young people to want to be stage managers, producers, directors, actors, performers, that is something really special. and we said in the introduction, it is often one of the first thing that goes in the school budget because there are so many conflicting demands. where would you prioritise it? clearly, you have an interest in it, but it needs to be up interest in it, but it needs to be up there in terms of priority for a school? definitely. it is about having an all—round education at the a rts having an all—round education at the arts and theatre deftly give you self—confidence and team working skills and could also be the empathy because storytelling is so important and looking at the world from somebody else's eyes gives you empathy and makes you understand the world differently, and that's so important, especially in the crazy days that we are in. going to the theatre is not cheap. would it help if it was made more accessible just in terms of prices? yeah. i think that would be a matter part of it but it is also aspirational. it is understanding that it is something that you can do. you can walk into a theatre space. taking a school show
8:52 am
into someone's school hall and summer's environment makes it feel much more like it is something that they can do themselves, they can achieve, they can go to and they can walk up and buy a ticket perhaps in the future. and if you have much access to theatre when you were growing up? what got you on the route that you are on now, which is being able to sarin is addicted to young people? ijoined a comical national youth theatre when i was 16 and it was a way for me to meet other people around the world and around the uk that are from different cultural backgrounds and different cultural backgrounds and different working class backgrounds as well and it is basically being put ina as well and it is basically being put in a room to play and to create things and it led me tojoin a wreck company that the national youth theatre offered and it led me to now taking it as a career but it is so rewarding to give something back and ifi rewarding to give something back and if i had this show in my school, i think it would definitely have inspired me to go into the theatre world perhaps be a stage manager or something totally different. but could you have imagined it being your career? no, no, not at all. and
8:53 am
it is such a beautiful thing and i hope we do encourage young people to ta ke hope we do encourage young people to take a leap of faith into this world. really nice to see you both. thanks for coming in and good with it. as you said, pretty punishing schedule. good luck. thank you both. thank you. the ever—popular tv series ‘i'm a celebrity...get me out of here' returns to our screens on itv this evening. but this year there'll be one big difference — holly willoughby has stepped in to replace host ant mcpartlin, who continues to take time off after a well—publicised drink driving conviction. so how will dec fare without his sidekick ant? let's speak to tony blackburn, who was crowned king of thejungle in the first ever series. hejoins us from our london newsroom. a very good morning. 0h. good morning. it has been a keen series now. you won. the first thing i was going to ask you is would you do it ain? going to ask you is would you do it again? i'd rather not. i loved it. i
8:54 am
absolutely loved it but there's not really point in going in, having one and becoming the king of thejungle, going in and possibly losing. so i'm quite happy not to do it any more, but i do love the show and i enjoyed every single moment that i was doing it, but i would like to leave it to other people to do it in future. it, but i would like to leave it to other people to do it in futurelj remember watching this series and it was great fun. and it struck me that it's all about that group of people but you get in there with you. make or break. if you're in there with a good grip, you can have a laugh, despite all the challenges it's quite fun. is that how you would sum it up? absolutely. the people that we had on my one, everybody didn't get on. right from the word go, even outside before we went in. arguing. but i enjoyed it. and for some inexplicable reason, they were all coming up to me with their problems. and i don't understand why. but eventually i did end up winning it,
8:55 am
which i was very, very pleased to have done. and a lovely series to have done. and a lovely series to have one. and i wanted and it's interesting for me to watch because i know what they're going through. it's a very tough programme to do. but an enjoyable one. i mean, i love the rainforest. i thought it was lovely. where they do it now a slightly different. we did it in cairns, which is a lovely place and i think they do it now near brisbane, but it is 100% genuine. there are no pizza deliveries or anything like that. it is definitely 100% genuine. it's a great show. what you make of this year's line—up, celebrities who have gone into thejungle line—up, celebrities who have gone into the jungle this time round?” think they are very interesting. and hegarty to start off with. looking forward to seeing her. she's from the case. nick knowles. he is to do with building houses. let's see if he is any good at it because he could be quite useful in there. and there is a rumour that my friend noel edmonds is going in, and i don't post that has been confirmed yet. would you tell us if you did
8:56 am
know? well, he told me that likely drop me when i won it he said i would never do that, but i got the idea he might be doing it. i'm not sure. you have john idea he might be doing it. i'm not sure. you havejohn barrowman as well from the west end theatre. and of course harry redknapp as well, who can i gather be slightly argumentative. so it looks like a really fu n ny argumentative. so it looks like a really funny and great line—up. argumentative. so it looks like a really funny and great line-up. some top tips, tony? you can never tell how people react. yeah, it is true. and in that scenario, who knows what it does to people, but there was some top tips and survival tips. well, if you're confronted with a snake, and i had to pick up a few 5 na kes, with a snake, and i had to pick up a few snakes, always go for the big thing because the little ones are the ones that i really fast and i got bitten by a couple of little snakes. this could come in very useful. go for that big snake because it is much slower and you're in with a chance of getting away from it, and also try and just be yourself. there's no point in trying to be anybody else. try to get on with people as much as you can. and they can become very irritating in
8:57 am
that particular scene, but try to just get on with people, that's the main thing. and also if you are going in, say you're a beacon because then you don't have to eat all of that. that they give you. i'm all of that. that they give you. i'm a vegetarian. and can you just give us a vegetarian. and can you just give us your prediction for who might win, very quickly? that's impossible. absolutely impossible. well, i hope my friend noel windsor, obviously, because i am a friend of his. i don't know. i would love to see and hegarty winning it. it's good to see you. thanks very much. such enjoyable kelly all those years ago. that wasn't confirmation that noel is in, necessarily. that returns to our screens on itv tonight. that's all from us today. naga and dan will be with you tomorrow. goodbye. this is bbc news, i'm ben brown.
