gci’oss on we will see severe gales develop across southern part of the country. all of the details right here on brea kfast. it's wednesday the 28th of november. our top story — the treasury will publish its assessment today of how the various scenarios for brexit could affect the economy over the next 15 years. officials have refused to comment on a newspaper report that the drop in economic output predicted in the analysis will be far bigger if there's no deal than under theresa may's plan. our political correspondent alex forsyth is in westminster for us. good morning alec. so many numbers of ourcoming good morning alec. so many numbers of our coming out and so many predictions are coming out. why would this one make a difference in minds in terms of understanding what brexit or no deal, might mean the? one of the really key things about this particular analysis coming out is that it is a government document

and the timing of it, we are a couple of weeks away now from a crucial vote in the house of commons where mps like to decide whether to back mrs may's brexit deal or not, i think this will absolutely feed into the debate i also think for that reason it will be highly sensitive. you don't know what this figures are, there have been newspaper reports, but what is pretty safe to expect is that it will show that mrs may's deal might not be as good for the economy as staying in the eu, but it will be much better than if we we re but it will be much better than if we were to leave without a deal at. expect that the brexit critics will just say that this project fear, scare us just say that this project fear, scare us into backing your plan, but theresa may will no doubt hope it rallies support. she continues on her tour of the uk today, in scotla nd her tour of the uk today, in scotland talking about how good her deal is forfishing scotland talking about how good her deal is for fishing and offering certainty for business. i think they will be holding up these figures, showing you have got to get the high this deal now but to be honest it

looks like an uphill struggle for the prime minister. it certainly is. and we'll be talking to the chancellor philip hammond later in the programme. the uk's worst performing mental health trust has been told by the care quality commission it has just weeks to make improvements to safety. understaffing and unsafe wards mean the norfolk and suffolk nhs foundation trust has been placed in special measures by inspectors for the third time in as many years. the department of health says it is providing intensive support to the trust, as nicki fox reports. just some of the family ‘s failed by england's worst performing until health trust. many taking their lives before getting the help they needed. 19—year—old nile brown from norfolk died in may. a popular bmx rider, his family say they were denied crisis care and work told by staff to go private. he was speaking like a iii—year—old. he could only feel the left side of his leg. there was a lot of stuff going on up there

that wasn't right. he broke down in the shower that night and said why ami the shower that night and said why am i going crazy, i said you are not. he could not hardly breathe, he couldn't hardly talk. the inspection report says people are self harming while waiting for care and the trust does not have a thread of safety running through it. it says thousands are waiting with no help, wards are on safe and have been more after failing to learn from mistakes. when people are in their hour of need, they need confidence that their services are safe and appropriate quality. from this publication, it suggests that it is time for the secretary of state stepped in and take action. the trust said it is disappointed with the reports findings, but fully accept them and is determined to get things right. nidal‘s father says he was told by staff they understand how he feels. he says that is impossible. nicki fox, bbc news. there are profound legal and ethical challenges to overcome before facial

recognition technology can be regularly used in street policing, that's according to an independent report. the software identifies suspects by comparing police images with faces in crowds. the university of cardiff noted that while it helped catch suspects, there were also a small number of false positive recognitions. here's our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw. using computers to recognise faces. artificial intelligence is now being used by police to identify suspects. but does it work? cardiff university examined the use of racial recognition by south wales police at last yea r‘s champions recognition by south wales police at last year's champions league final and ata last year's champions league final and at a series of other events, such as rugby internationals and pop concert. cameras scanned thousands of spectators, comparing their features to images on a police database. it was part of a trial project funded by the home office.

at the start, the system accurately matched only 3% of cases it picked out. that increased to 46% when a new computer algorithm became available. leading researchers to conclude that the technology can certainly assist police in sites spotting suspects who otherwise would not be found. in the course of the trial, they recognised on a number of occasions, that it would have other uses. for example, there we re have other uses. for example, there were uses have other uses. for example, there were uses of it to identify victims of crime as well, when they have been quite badly injured. there are uses of it to identify missing people, and also potentially we think there might be uses that could be put in place in terms of managing people with vulnerabilities such as alzheimer's, who have a tendency to go missing, it in order to be able to locate them for safeguarding reasons. but researchers say facial recognition is not a silver bullet. the system struggled to work with

large crowds and in poor light, while the face type of a small number of people triggered false positive results. danny shaw, bbc news. 22 people have been killed and 22 others injured in a series the local government says it's investigating the cause of the incident. our china correspondent stephen mcdonelljoins us from beijing. just take us through what has happened. a series of blasts and fires on approach to a major chemicalfactory in a fires on approach to a major chemical factory in a small city to the north—west of beijing have seen at least 22 people killed and 22 more people hospitalised. what seemed to have happened is that one of these trucks, either taking chemicals to or away from the factory has somehow caught fire. it has then exploded, moving fire to other chemical trucks and even to

cars. firetrucks are then seen moving down the street, suppressing fire on all of those vehicles. factory is obviously closed down the. people may not have heard of the. people may not have heard of the city of zhangjiakou until now, but they certainly will in the future because that is where the 2022 winter alpine olympic events will be held and officials from that city will be most embarrassed by that incident. china, despite its considerable economic success, has had a lot of difficulty with the sort of industrial accidents and u nfortu nately sort of industrial accidents and unfortunately explosions at chemical factories are a pretty regular currencies. for the moment, thank you. —— regular occurrence here. president trump says he may pull out of a meeting with president vladimir putin later this week, because of the situation in ukraine. mr trump said he was waiting for a full report, after russian ships fired on and seized three ukrainian boats on sunday. russia claims the boats strayed into its waters. the two presidents were due to discuss security issues on the sidelines of a g20 meeting of world leaders in argentina. many women who experience a traumatic birth are being let

down by the nhs and some are even being left with undiagnosed post traumatic stress disorder. new research from the royal college of psychiatrists suggests as many as one in 25 women experience ptsd after childbirth. nhs england says it was improving mental health support for new mothers. our correspondent jamie coulson reports. that's mr... when anna gave birth to her daughter macy, it should have been one of the happiest days of her life. but, when complications led to an emergency caesarean section, it rapidly became one of the most frightening. there was a lot of people around me, they were kind of ripping my clothes off, ripping myjewellery off. i felt as if i was being attacked. in the weeks that followed, anna developed symptoms of post—traumatic stress disorder, or ptsd, including vivid flashbacks and deep distress when reminded of the birth. many people may traditionally associate post—traumatic stress

disorder with soldiers on the battlefield, or the victims of violent crime. but for women who have had a traumatic birth, it can be just as real, and without help, can lead to long—term harm. research suggests 4% of women in the uk, or around 30,000 a year, develop ptsd after a traumatic birth. experts believe many others could go undiagnosed, or are misdiagnosed. the royal college believes it's fair to say that currently women in the uk who experience birth trauma are being failed by the nhs, both in the way that the trauma is detected, diagnosed, and subsequently treated. nhs england say any form of mental ill health is a concern, but great strides have been made, with 7,000 more women treated last year, and specialist mental health services planned throughout england. following treatment, anna is now looking to the future instead of fearing the past. more than 100 top scientists in china have signed a letter

condemning claims made by a chinese researcher that he helped create the world's first genetically edited babies. the scientist, from the university of shenzhen, says he has sucessfully altered the dna of twin girls to help them resist the hiv virus. the chinese government has ordered an immediate investigation into the claims. we have a story for you now about one very lucky cow. this is knickers from western australia. like many cows from there, he was destined for the abbatoir, but when his owner tried to sell him at auction the meat processors said they couldn't take him as he'sjust too big. those capitals around him are not small, it isjust those capitals around him are not small, it is just gigantic. those capitals around him are not

small, it isjust gigantic. 1.4 tons, which is the weight of a small car. he stands two metres tall orjust over six—foot—four inches. that is how big that cow is. we had a debate... who is that? seriously, talking about the people getting in the way, you might as well come in now acts may —— the way, you might as well come in now acts may “ come the way, you might as well come in now acts may —— come in now! can you stand? now acts may —— come in now! can you stand ? the now acts may —— come in now! can you stand? the tower, just two inches. so, the cow is like that egypt. the only technicality we are not sure about is if that is the height of the head or the horse. who calls a cow the head or the horse. who calls a cow knickers? there is an elephant. who gives a cow if it is going to the abattoir? good morning, ben.

good morning. sorry for walking in front of you, i will try to look at the picture of the tower. —— cow. take us into the sport. there has been a bit of feistiness in the champions league. played a video, this isjust brilliant. —— play the video will. —— play the video. they toiled and struggled all night, but eventually marouane fellani got manchester united the goal they need to beat young boys and qualify for the knockout stages of the champions league. that is jose mourinho. that isjose mourinho. that is what happens when they win. can you |magine? happens when they win. can you imagine? did he do that when the goal went in? it was frustration because they played quite badly. manchester city are also through to the knockout stages thanks to this late equaliser from sergio aguero. a 2—2 draw against lyon was enough to see them top their group. the former arsenal and england

defender sol campbell has got his firstjob in management. he's taking over at macclesfield town who are bottom of the football league. and england's netballers started their test series against uganda with a win, but they had to work for it in liverpool. england had a nine goal lead at half time, but let uganda back into it before holding on to win. notepaper tantrums while i have been chatting? —— no temper tantrums. will have a look at the front pages. the daily telegraph says the prime minister is to defy the demands of parliament and block publication of the full legal advice behind her brexit deal. do remember, we are talking to the chancellor on the programme a little later. the guardian leads on labour proposals to give the customers of the uk's biggest companies the right to vote on the pay of top executives.

it says the party is seeking to show it is ready to fight a snap election if mrs may's government collapses over brexit. mirror reports security for the new home of the duke and duchess of sussex could cost £5m. experts describe protecting frogmore house as a mammoth task and predict the bill could spiral. the sun also carries a story about the royals, this time a reported rift between the duchess of sussex and duchess of cambridge. the paper says the incident took place before may's royal wedding and concerned the bridesmaid dress worn by princess charlotte. what have you got, ben? a couple of stories on a similar theme. we know about the threat of online streaming services, amazon or netflix, ofcom, the media regulator, calling on public service broadcasters to get their act together and create one combined streaming services. it would involve channel 4, bbc and itv

with one service. they say that would be a great opportunity to take on the likes of netflix and play them at their own game. this has been spoken about for a while? they tried a few years ago and at the time the market, they said, wasn't capable with dealing with the competition threat because it would give that player too much power. now we've got the likes of amazon and netflix, the market has sufficiently changed and it would allow public service broadcasters to fight back. asimilar service broadcasters to fight back. a similar story here, a return to family tv, more watching tv in their home and that's because more millennials are living with their pa rents millennials are living with their parents into their 20s and thirties. tv executives say we need to create family tv. everyone sitting on the sofa together watching it. a bit like this! much like this. less bickering i think! exactly! when you we re bickering i think! exactly! when you were young, didn't you want to go to the other room and watch the tv if

after his hairand day. is make up artist wife looks after his hair and he goes to bed at 10pm. what is an alkaline diet? non—acidic. presumably he wouldn't wa nt non—acidic. presumably he wouldn't want one of these. are you going to show us this? if anyone wants to know what to buy me for christmas, this is it. a combined poster with a bean warmer in it. beans on toast all in one device? both at the same time, both ready at the same time, thatis time, both ready at the same time, that is a winner in my book. genius! all in one. unnecessary? why is it unnecessary? unnecessary extra cleaning. how do you warm up the beans when you do beans on toast? microwave. you can't do that, you have to do them in a pan.|j microwave. you can't do that, you have to do them in a pan. i agree. it tastes different. the way you

across all parts to date. lots of surface water and spray for the rush—hour and the winds get stronger through the day. a bit of travel disruption before the day is out. an area of rain stretching from scotland to eastern england, heavy bursts, clearing out of the way and that will be followed by something drier but patchy light rain and drizzle and things turn weather from the west later, especially in northern ireland, more persistent rain through the morning and that will slide into scotland and that will slide into scotland and it means the further south you are, we could see some showers, a good chance of sunshine in between. noticed the temperatures, this afternoon we will see double figures, except for shetland, not bad for the time of year but the winds will be at their strongest into the evening. if you're on the move into the evening. if you're on the m ove a cross into the evening. if you're on the move across scotland, 60 or 70 mph the further north you are, through the further north you are, through the day in western areas, winds in excess of 60 mph around the coast. heavy rain for scotland in the

evening rush—hour, mounting up over the hills, that could cause flooding. not as wet further south, but even here in land we could see gales into the evening. not a great end to the day. the winds will ease down through the night. the rain persistent at first across scotland will clear. drier spells for a time but more wet weather in england and wales towards dawn tomorrow morning and that will be with you in northern ireland eventually. temperature lowest where skies are clear is, still 7—8 in scotland. this is theirs they —— clearest. pushing northwards, this system, but this area between the two weather fronts across england and wales were tomorrow's weather will be at its windiest. england and wales, widespread gales, especially in the morning and at southern coasts we could see in excess of 60 mph. problems potentially first thing. rain in north and west and parts of england and northern ireland first thing. that pushes across scotland

late morning into early afternoon, then a day of sunshine and showers by the second half of the day with temperatures dropping away again again, especially as the morning rain clears. on friday, low pressure close by to the north, bringing windy weather to the north of the country on friday. sunshine and showers, drier the further south you are. a sneaky peek at the weekend, if you're looking at this and the act, lot of rain on the chart, rain at times and dry weather with not as much wind. more through the morning. thanks very much, matt! as winter approaches, charities are calling for more to be done to help the hundreds of thousands of people across the uk without a place to call home. today a campaign to end rough sleeping launches in london. brea kfast‘s graham satchell looks at what's being done both there and in manchester to tackle the problem. she's not... oh, she is! it's a bitterly cold night. hello?

we're a homeless service, outreach. just going to check you out, darling. hidden away in a back alley, a woman is sleeping rough in an abandoned cab. are you getting help from anybody? how long have you been sleeping here or? february. february. jamie and his team from london street rescue are trying to help the hard to reach. how old are you? disappointingly i don't find it shocking any more. she's got a relatively secure sleeping spot, an awful thing to say but that gives her the security she needs at the moment. to be able to work with them, we have to try to break through that and see what we can do to help. the lady in the van doesn't wa nt to help. the lady in the van doesn't want immediate help butjamie will be back. london street rescue get specific information about people sleeping rough from the police, ambulance service and public and their one part of a beefed up strategy to tackle rough sleeping in london this winter. despite this

effort, homelessness as more than doubled since 2010. the numbers of homeless people are going up because the causes of homelessness are not being tackled. you can't solve a homelessness crisis without homes, for a start. the freeze on housing benefit and universal credit are tipping people over the edge, and just the cost of renting is increasing astronomically and much faster than earnings, so we're increasingly seeing people in work and also homeless. i've met people sleeping rough who are working. it's dangerous living outside, you know, in these weather, you could quite easily die and some nights. it gets too cold. no food. me and the dog, we're just hungry and freezing. nasty. i've had more than enough. anthony liddell in a tent in manchester for eight months last year after breaking up with his partner. manchester's winter scheme is called a bit every night, and has

already had some success, taking 300 people of the streeter. he's been helped by schalke. ikan switch a light on when i like. it's brilliant. where are you normally sleeping? back in london, jamie is trying to persuade another rough sleeper to get to a hospital with no luck. this is it. there's someone sleeping there. the westminster government said its committed £100 million to end rough sleeping 2027. but campaigners say despite the extra efforts, campaigners say they are treating the symptoms, not the cause. a thought—provoking piece about what's being done and how they are being helped. and we'll hear more on this from the mayor of greater manchester andy burnham

after 8am this morning. that's coming up and lots more. a concrete solution — we meet the scientists who have invented concrete which repairs itself when it cracks. a bit of science for you later in the programme. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. we already know the number of murders in the capital this year is close to a ten—year high, but one south london borough has seen the number there fall significantly. croydon had two murders in 2018, down from eight last year and knife crime has also dropped slightly. one local activist says grassroots engagement and giving communities a voice is helping to prevent serious violence. allow them to have their voice,

speak of their truth. that's what we've had in croydon, and i'm proud to say i had a hand in establishing that. we've been consistent and i think that speaks a small amount to the success we're having here in the reduction of our crime rate because for once the community feels it has a voice. the mother of a gb snowboarder who took her own life earlier this year says she hopes her daughter's legacy will be to raise awareness of mental health issues. ellie soutter who went to school in surrey died on her 18th birthday injuly. her parents have now received an outstanding achievement award on her behalf, and want her story to help others in the future. it looked like she had it all, but she didn't have it all. mentally, inside her head, she didn't have it all, so therefore, if other people feel the same way, they need to be able to talk about it. charities are calling for more to be done to help the thousands of people in the capital without a home this winter. this year, city hall will coordinate emergency shelters when temperatures drop below zero across all london boroughs.

previously they were opened on a borough by borough basis. let's take a look at the travel situation now. a good service on all true blinds this morning. on the roads, westminster bridge is closed northbound for security installations —— tube lines. in borough, gray davis street is closed eastbound. now let's take a look at the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. a mild start this morning, especially compare to the last few days, temperatures mostly in double figures first thing. it is rather damp. rather cold. the temperature stays mild. these outbreaks of rain will push through, turning light and patchy through the day. these are the wind gusts in mph. looking at 40—40 or maybe 45

mph. looking at 40—40 or maybe 45 mph even through central london, so a very windy day, but look at those temperatures, up to 14 by the end of the afternoon. the cloud and remaining rain overnight should clear. clear spells and then a repeat performance, more cloud moving in and further spells of heavy rain. staying pretty windy overnight as well, and these are the minimum temperature is. not dropping down too much at all, between ten and 12. a mild start tomorrow, outbreaks in the morning but becoming dry. still very windy tomorrow, looking at gusts of 40—40 maybe 50 mph. 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 it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. it is just it isjust coming up it is just coming up to it isjust coming up to 6:30 a.m.. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning:

we're talking to the chancellor philip hammond ahead of his economic analysis of the uk, post—brexit. watchdog has been continuing its investigations into food allergy labelling, looking at the restaurants and coffee shops which are getting it wrong. and he's a life—long buddy holly fan, so radio 2 dj johnnie walker is the perfect person to tell us what he thinks of a new album which gives his classic songs the orchestral treatment. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. the treasury will publish later today its assessment of how the various possibilities for brexit could affect the economy. the government's refused to comment on newspaper reports claiming the predictions will say gdp will be lower under the prime minister's plan compared with staying in the eu. it comes as theresa may prepares to travel to scotland to argue the case for the deal she's negotiated with brussels. mps have warned there's

a real prospect of major disruption at britain's ports, if the uk leaves the eu without a deal. a report by the public accounts committee says businesses are struggling to prepare for a no—deal scenario, because planning by the department for transport has been too secretive and is "worryingly under—developed." the government says the findings are inaccurate and says some measures to combat disruption are already in place, but the committee is worried things are still too uncertain. the government has a big challenge. they have the vote in parliament on december 11 and a lot will depend on the outcome of that vote and further legislation that has to go through parliament before march 29. we are at the point of no return for preparing with no deal, if we don't have preparations in place it is difficult to know what is to be done, let alone legislation, leading

for the logistics of traffic, parked up for the logistics of traffic, parked up lloris. there is a lot of uncertainty and the department has made some plans, we don't feel they have been tested rigourously in a. —— rigourously enough. the uk's worst performing mental health trust has been told by the care quality commission it has just weeks to make improvements to safety. understaffing and unsafe wards mean the norfolk and suffolk nhs foundation trust has been placed in special measures by inspectors for the third time in as many years. the trust says it's disappointed with the report's findings but fully accepts them and is determined to get things right. the department of health says it is providing intensive support to the trust. there are profound legal and ethical challenges to overcome before facial recognition technology can be regularly used in street policing, that's according to an independent report. the software identifies suspects by comparing police images with faces in crowds. the university of cardiff noted that while it helped catch suspects, it wasn't always accurate. many women who experience a traumatic birth are being let down by the nhs and some are even being left with undiagnosed post traumatic stress disorder.

new research from the royal college of psychiatrists suggests as many as one in 25 women experience ptsd after childbirth. nhs england says it was improving mental health support for new mothers. more than 100 top scientists in china have signed a letter condemning claims made by a chinese researcher that he helped create the world's first genetically edited babies. the scientist, from the university of shenzhen, says he has sucessfully altered the dna of twin girls to help them resist the hiv virus. the chinese government has ordered an "immediate investigation" into the claims. thousands of people have been told to leave their homes, as bushfires threaten properties in queensland, australia. a catastrophic fire warning has been issued for the first time in the state's history, as extreme weather hits several parts of the country. emergency services have described the conditions as a firestorm. hundreds of people in australia have called for emergency assistance,

following flash storms in sydney. meteorologists say the city had its average monthly rainfall injust two hours. the flash floods have left one man dead and at least two officers injured. scientists in australia have started the largest and most complicated coral regeneration project ever undertaken on the great barrier reef. researchers are collecting millions of coral eggs and sperm during the spectacular annual spawning event on the reef. it's the first step of an ambitious scheme that could help save dying coral reefs around the world. those are the main stories. we are go to seek some amazing pictures now. have you seen go to seek some amazing pictures now. have you seen these? i thought you have might. chris gursky, on the left, posted this video of his first experience of hang gliding on a recent holiday to switzerland. after his instructor failed

to attach a safety harness, he got a little more hanging and a lot more heart—in—the—mouth than he'd signed up for. just to make it clear, at this point, he is not tethered to the hang glider or his instructor and he is holding on and hoping they reached ground safely. they do, by the way. the subtitles there, was that what they were saying?m the way. the subtitles there, was that what they were saying? it was the man's, terry. afterwards he posted on his social media and put a little commentary himself. —— it was the man's commentary. coming in hot, was the phrase that he used. he has said that he is keen to have another go. surprising. really surprising. how are you with a little bit of a temper tantrum? why did you look at me then? i have a terrible temper.

terrible. but very rarely lose it. how about you ? terrible. but very rarely lose it. how about you? no, very calm. why are you asking us this, has there been a little moment? football is full of little moments. so good news for both manchester sides who are through to the knockout stages of the champions league. but if you have a look at these pictures ofjose mourinho, you'll get an idea of how close manchester united came to slipping up. david ornstein wraps up the night's action. playing at the so—called theatre of dreams has become something of a nightmare for manchester united this season. against young bullies, a fine chance to capture their old habits of winning, but marcus rashford weekly showcased united's most rashford weekly showcased united's m ost rece nt rashford weekly showcased united's most recent trend, failing to find

the net. jose mourinho unimpressed. young boys began to grow in belief and would have taken the lead if david de gea hadn't intervened. that save proved all the more crucial when maroune fellaini struck in stoppage time to lift the gloom and to some interesting celebrations. in lyon, manchester city fell behind to a breathtaking goal by maxwel cornet. the visitors responded well, however. nothing was stopping this laporte effort from levelling the scores. although cornet had looked to have got the decisive blow, city had other ideas. sergio aguero securing a point and their passage to the last 16. david ornstein, bbc news. tonight then, and both tottenham and liverpool have some work to do if they're to qualify. it could be the end of the road for spurs. it's quite simple. either beat inter milan or they go are out of the competition. they've got themselves in a spot of bother after failing to win any of their first three games.

as for liverpool, they will qualify if they win in paris and red star don't beat napoli. plenty for boss jurgen klopp to think about then, but he was a bit distracted by the translator in his pre—match press co nfe re nce . that is a very erotic voice, by the way. laughter. congratulations! wow! again, please. laughter. woops! having a little bit of a moment there. we don't have the advantage of hearing the voice he heard. there. we don't have the advantage of hearing the voice he heardm was a french translator speaking in english. was a chap as well. —— it was.

you have tweeted that, haven't you? yes, if you want more details. sol campbell has his first job in management. been appointed manager of macclesthe english football league's bottom side macclesfield town. the former england defender‘s been given the job at macclesfield town who are bottom of the football league and was there to see them beat exeter last night. campbell has previously complained that his managerial career has been hampered by a lack of opportunity for black coaches. england survived a fightback from uganda to win the first of their three match netball series. england had a nine goal lead at half time, but they let uganda back into it, and the scores were level in the final quarter. but england got themselves going again in liverpool and won by 50 points to 46. and there's a big fight for tyson fury this weekend. he challenges deontay wilder for the wbc heavyweight title in los angeles this weekend. ahead of the fight they both took time out of their training schedule to meet the la county fire teams who've been dealing with those horrendous wild fires. and fury took the opportunity to draw attention to another big problem in los angeles. there is a lot of homeless people on

the streets here, more than i have ever seen ever in my the streets here, more than i have ever seen ever in my life. if you go five minutes down the road, there are thousands of homeless people. you think you might be in a third world country. it is a crisis situation, something needs to be done about it. i don't know if it is outside our opinion, but it is a situation that is happening all over the world, in the uk here as well. before i go, how about this in a feat of concentration? to chess players have been locked in a stalemate for all of november. 12 games and 12 draws over the month. this afternoon they are going into a fast paced tiebrea ker to this afternoon they are going into a fast paced tiebreaker to see you becomes world champion. vermilion gets one —— of the winner gets 1

million euros. a whole month of stalemate. looking at that board, could you see who had the upper hand? too quick for me. it doesn't seem hand? too quick for me. it doesn't seem like a great tv viewing, for me. as in watching the game unfold. can you imagine the radio commentary? i think it would be interesting! each to his own. will see you later, thank you very much. the weather coming up for you in a little while. the time is 6:41am. the desperation of migrants who are trying to make it to the uk was laid bare yesterday with these shocking images of families with young children being rescued from a dinghy off the coast of dover. the home secretary has expressed concern at the increase in boats like these crossing the english channel saying the traffic is being organised by criminal gangs. simonjones is in dover for us this morning.

there has been a realfocus on there has been a real focus on this issue in the last few days, but it has been going on in —— for a very long time. despite repeated warnings, people are putting their lives at risk attempting to cross the channel on small boats. it is still happening. we think so far this month we have seen 110 migrants arrive off the kent coast on 13 different boats, then there have been a number of rescues off the coast of northern france. this morning and overnight it has been the grim conditions, it is very wet and windy, some of the ferries have been delayed so we have not heard of any fresh attempts this morning. experts say the minute the weather gets better then people will attempt the perilous journey once again. we have had concerns expressed by the home secretary, he is considering bringing back aboard four spoke currently patrolling the mediterranean to patrol the area around the south coast. he says it isa around the south coast. he says it is a difficult balancing act because

what he does not want to do is for migrants to see that as a reason to attempt, thinking they will be picked up by this boat and brought back to shore and that might encourage ever more attempts. let's talk to mr chapman from the refugee network, you support migrants who arrived here. when you hear about these small boats, yesterday we had two families in one of the boats, for children, what goes through your mind? every morning, i switch on my radio and! mind? every morning, i switch on my radio and i am worried that we will hear somebody has drowned making this crossing. it is terrible that people feel so desperate that they have to attempt this. it is the busiest shipping lane in the world. even yesterday the weather was awful, the idea of anybody making that journey with an 18 month old is just appalling. we are really concerned about people being put in that position. do you support migrants once they get here in kent,

a lot of people are asking when people arrive they arcaded over to immigration authorities and we don't hear much more after that, what would happen to that family who arrived, mum, dad, three children? generally speaking, people are divided into two groups, adults and family and children. they are taken to reception points where they have asylu m to reception points where they have asylum claims processed, health checks and are supported while that happened. if they are under 18 they are put into a reception centre in kent, health checks, allocated to a social worker and they moved into the community wants their asylum claims are processed. lot will be shocked by images of young children on small boats on the channel, but you will be aware that there were three —— there will be a lot of people saying you should simply turn these boats back. said the boat ‘s back to front and they shouldn't be allowed to come here. back to front and they shouldn't be

allowed to come herelj back to front and they shouldn't be allowed to come here. i think the world was shocked of the images of a toddler washed up on a beach and i am terrified that is what will happen here. i am sure that is not what people really want. i think the rhetoric and debate about this has become very polarised and we need to have a sense of spec it. we're talking about an invading army, we are talking about a few people seeking asylum are seeking a place of safety. when did we become so hard? thank you very much for joining us. all eyes on the channel and the weather conditions waiting for the next attempts. very bleak, simon, thank you very much. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. good morning. nota good morning. not a great day weatherwise across the uk. if you're on the move, lots of heavy rain at the moment, that has left a surface water and spray on many routes nationwide, the journey to work and the winds are picking up with widespread gales through the day,

severe gales in northern and western areas later. stay tuned to your local bbc radio 4 and because there could be disruption later. look at what's happening at the moment, the latest band of heavy rain, in eastern england, pushing across scotland. we'll see something less wet for a time, patchy rain and drizzle to come and go through the morning just about anywhere and more persistent rain arrives in the west against be especially in northern ireland in mid—morning and into the afternoon in scotland, heavy showers in england and wales but by the afternoon. temperatures around 11-14. i've afternoon. temperatures around 11—14. i've hinted at the winds, they will pick up through the day with widespread gales anywhere. we could see winds later topping 60 or 70 mph in the northern isles of scotland, especially into the evening. lots of heavy rain for the evening. lots of heavy rain for the evening rush—hour in central and southern scotland causing minor flooding. drier in northern ireland

to finish, but around the coasts we could see 50—60 mph through the day, in excess of 60 mph in western coast of england. gales inland through the afternoon and evening, but at least something drierfor a time. most of us something drierfor a time. most of us tried in the night, lasting longer is the across scotland. another band of rain later in the night in england, wales and northern ireland. single figures in the north, here we will see the mild air run back in for a time on thursday as this weather system pushes northwards. in this zone here across england we will see the strongest of the winds tomorrow. not done with the winds tomorrow. not done with the gales yet, we could see 50—60 mph if not more in southern and western areas in particular, gales elsewhere. not as windy in scotland and northern ireland tomorrow but a potent breeze in the morning and that will take the rain into scotla nd that will take the rain into scotland through the morning, early afternoon, most places brighten up to sunny spells but some showers,

those heavy and thundery in the west. after an early peak in temperatures, they will get away later, single figures for one or two and a cooler day on friday as we is either winds come around this area of low pressure, bringing sunshine and showers. some will stay dry on friday but into the chart shows a lot of rain across the country but rain coming and going, dry weather on friday. that's how it's looking. time for business now and her majesty's revenue and customs has told the bbc they've seen a big spike in scams where fraudsters are claiming to be the taxman. morning, ben. it says ilia tale but there's been a big increase in the number of people targeted by these scams, especially related to tax returns and how much you might be due —— it's a familiar tale. her majesty's revenue and customs say they're getting about 80,000 reports of tax fraud every month, that's up 20% on last year. and the scammers are getting more sophisticated, with a big increase in phone scams. it's called spoofing where the official her majesty's revenue

and customs phone number can be cloned to make it more believable. and they're pretty threatening. here's what one phone scam sounded like. pretty nasty stuff. mike cell is with us, head of cyber security at her majesty's revenue and customs —— fell. that is pretty terrifying, facing the legal consequences, if we don't hearfrom your facing the legal consequences, if we don't hear from your solicitor, and it isa don't hear from your solicitor, and it is a scam. why are these increasing? her majesty's revenue and customs is trusted by the public. historically we've seen e—mailfishing attacks public. historically we've seen e—mail fishing attacks targeting her majesty's revenue and customs. as a result of technical controls we put in on e—mail, we have blocked 500 million of those cans every year —— phishing. that's pushed people to use less credible methods —— and those scams. then we have seen scammers moving to texts, which is called smishing, and we've had to invent controls to stop nine out of

ten of those. as a result, people are moving on to phone scams, hence the increases. it's basic, the idea of calling and pretending to be someone of calling and pretending to be someone else and trying to get money out of you. the point i made at the beginning, the phone number that mightappearon your beginning, the phone number that might appear on your caller id looks like her majesty's revenue and customs, what can you do to stop that and how do they do that? that's a product of the way the phone networks operate and there's little we can do with the caller id, but if people are unsure, there's two things they can do. firstly, hang up the straightaway. secondly, if they ring 1471 they will get the underlying number and they can report that to us at our website and we can remove that number. quite a mouthful, we can put that on social media! what can we do to stop it and what can we look for? you get a lot of e—mails and messages from people like her majesty's revenue and customs asking for various details,

it's hard to know what's legal and legit and what's not. what will you never ask me for? word me for? her majesty's revenue and customs is a tax authority, its inevitable people will owe us money. where people do so, we will always either have informed them in a letter or it will be asa informed them in a letter or it will be as a result of what they've done through either a tax return or one of the other routes. the message is very much you will know about it if we are contacting and if you're unsure, hang up, go to the gov.uk website and phone us back on one of those numbers. will you ever ask for your bank details? never out of the blue, maybe as part of an ongoing dialogue. once again, it will be expected and accompanied by something you already know about. some top tips, what do i need to look out for to make sure i'm not a victim? top tips, firstly, is it seems too good to be true, it

probably is. if you're not sure, hang up or don't open the e—mail. lastly, if you need to look at some of the scams going around, we have over1.4 of the scams going around, we have over 1.4 million visits to gov.uk where we share examples of the common scams, so where we share examples of the common scams, so look at that and see what's happening. mike, thanks for those tips. mike fell from cyber security at her majesty's revenue and customs. thanks, ben! you might not think about it very often but concrete is very important! however, it keeps cracking. but it keeps cracking, which costs billions to fix each year leading to roadworks and delays. now scientists at the university of cambridge are working on a solution, concrete that can repair itself. here's our science correspondent, richard westcott. concrete is the second most used substance on earth. a key ingredient in roadbuilding, repairing cracks can cause long delays. so what if you could build concrete

that could fix itself? when there is a crack in concrete, this crack is going to open the matrix and then open the capsule as well. livia is helping to design tiny capsules the size of sand grains that will sit inside the concrete. any crack will split them open, releasing a healing agent that fixes the crack. so they come along off the tube, they are collected in the solution and here this white material is where you can see thousands of micro—capsules being produced and collected in the solution. under the microscope, they look like little eggs. and here is one that has opened up inside some concrete. so effectively you are trying to make a little egg with a hard shell and an agent inside that will fix the concrete. i mean, what is the hardest part of that? you are making it on such a tiny scale. good question. the hardest bit is about controlling

the flow rate so i can precisely control the size of this tiny shell that i am doing, with this tiny egg that i am doing, and also control the shell thickness. the cambridge team is working on other self—healing systems, too. so this is inside the concrete, agent always pumping through, and the minute a crack goes through the concrete it will find one of these plastic tubes. the tube breaks, healing agent comes out and itjust seals the crack. and you can see only one of them breaks, which means you can use all the other of them for any other type of damage that happens over the life of the concrete structure. so you have dragged me here to look at a wall, haven't you? yep. a special wall, self—healing concrete. if i smash it hard, it will heal itself? yes, it will, yes, in two weeks' time. very important because we spent a huge amount of money on maintaining infrastructure, roads, bridges, tunnels, embankments, and it is very costly and there is a huge amount

of disruption associated with it. so these materials basically have the ability to heal their own cracks. they sense damage and they repair themselves without the need for external intervention. just making the cement for concrete produces 8% of the world's man—made co2. if it can heal itself, you can save money, the environment and cuts on trafficjams. richard wescott, bbc news, cambridge. of all the things i thought i would be interested in this morning... seu be interested in this morning... self repairing concrete. that was it. extraordinary. it affects all of last, costs down from housebuilding, bridges, fascinating! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. see you soon. good morning from bbc london news.

we already know the number of murders in the capital this year is close to a ten—year high, but one south london borough has seen the number there fall significantly. croydon had two murders in 2018, down from eight last year and knife crime has also dropped slightly. one local activist says grassroots engagement is helping to prevent serious violence. allow them to have their voice, speak of their truth. that's what we've had in croydon, and i'm proud to say i had a hand in establishing that. we've been consistent and i think that speaks a small amount to the success we're having here in the reduction of our crime rate because for once the community feels it has a voice. the mother of a gb snowboarder who took her own life earlier this year says she hopes her daughter's legacy will be to raise awareness of mental health issues. ellie soutter who went to school in surrey died on her 18th birthday injuly.

her parents have now received an outstanding achievement award on her behalf, and want her story to help others in the future. it looked like she had it all, but she didn't have it all. mentally, inside her head, she didn't have it all, so therefore, if other people feel the same way, they need to be able to talk about it. charities are calling for more to be done to help the thousands of people in the capital without a home this winter. this year, city hall will coordinate emergency shelters when temperatures drop below zero across all london boroughs. previously they were opened on a borough by borough basis. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on all tube lines this morning. onto the roads and the a40 is slow into town approaching the target roundabout at northolt. you can see it there on the camera. in barking, river road has temporary traffic lights, affecting traffic on the a13. and in borough, great dover street

is closed eastbound between black horse court and tower bridge road. now let's take a look at the weather, with kate kinsella. good morning. a mild start this morning, especially compared to the last few temperatures mostly in double figures first it is rather damp. outbreaks of rain. more to come today. the temperature stays mild. these outbreaks of rain will push through, turning light and patchy through the day. these are the wind gusts in mph in black discs. looking at 40 or maybe 45mph even through central london, so a very windy day, but look at those temperatures, up to 14 by the end of the afternoon. the cloud and remaining rain overnight should clear. clear spells and then a repeat performance, more cloud moving in and further spells of heavy rain. staying pretty windy overnight as well, and these are the minimum temperatures. not dropping down too much at all, between ten and 12. a mild start tomorrow,

outbreaks in the morning but becoming dry. still very windy tomorrow, looking at gusts of 40—40 maybe 50 mph. 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 it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today: the financial impact of brexit. the government's official figures on how leaving the eu will affect the economy are published today. we'll speak to the chancellor and brexit impact. the bank of england will today lay out its assessments of how britain leaving the eu will effect the economy. inspectors give england's worst performing mental health facility just weeks to improve. we will be

live on the dover coast. ringing up hefty bills. the telecoms regulator ofcom is set to limit the amount people can be charged for directory enquiry calls. in sport, jose mourinho vents his frustration, as manchester united get a late winner to qualify for the knockout stages of the champions league. it might be much milder, but not a great day to be on the move. heavy rain at times, especially this morning and widespread gales later on in the north and west. all of the details here on breakfast. it's wednesday the 28th of november. our top story — the treasury will publish its assessment today of how the various scenarios for brexit could affect the economy over the next 15 years. officials have refused to comment on a newspaper report that the drop in economic output predicted in the analysis will be far bigger if there's no deal rather than theresa may's brexit plan. our political correspondent alex forsyth is in westminster for us. very good morning to use. there are

lots of reasons why this could be a very important moment, not least of which is that many people aside from the prison. brexit, are interested in the practicalities. will things be more expensive, how will it affect them in their households and maybe this is a step toward some of those answers? yes, we expect quite a lot of information published today, not just the a lot of information published today, notjust the government's analysis but also the bank of england will have something to say. focusing on the government —— publication, they will put out a range of different scenarios and they will be looking at being in the european union, so our current relationship compared to the deal that mrs may has negotiated, compared to no deal at all and we don't know what that will say but i think it is pretty safe to assume that it will show that mrs may's deal is better than leaving without a deal. that i have no doubt will

prompt some to say this is project fear all over again, the government tried to scare people into supporting mrs may's deal. will have to see what the figures say but i think the government will push hard back on that to say it is right that this kind of automation is dead into the public debate. i think they will hope it will help her case petition she will continue to push the deal today, going to wales and northern ireland yesterday and today she will be in scotland talking about taking control of our waters when it comes to fishing. people are saying why are you trying to convince the public when it is mp is unique to convince? number ten are hoping that if the public gets on side, it might push wavering mps to back her, but quite frankly the numbers are looking pretty tricky. this will be an uphill struggle for the prime minister. thank you. and we'll be talking to the chancellor philip hammond in about ten minutes. understaffing and unsafe wards mean the norfolk and suffolk nhs foundation trust has been placed in special measures by inspectors for the third time in as many years.

that makes it the uk's worst performing mental health trust has been told by the care quality commission it has just weeks to make improvements to safety. nicki fox reports. just some of the families failed by england's worst performing mental health trust. many taking their lives before getting the help they needed. 19—year—old nyall brown from norfolk died in may. a popular bmx rider, his family say they were denied crisis care and work told by staff to go private. he was speaking like a 14—year—old. he could only feel the left side of his leg. there was a lot of stuff going on up there that wasn't right. he broke down in the shower that night and said why am i going crazy, we said you are not going crazy, nyall. he couldn't hardly breathe, he couldn't hardly talk and we were sent home with him. the inspection report says people are self harming while waiting

for care and the trust does not have a thread of safety running through it. it says thousands are waiting with no help, wards are unsafe and have been more deaths after failing to learn from mistakes. when people are in their hour of need, often extremely vulnerable, they need confidence that their services are safe and of appropriate quality. from this publication, it suggests that it is time for the secretary of state to step in and take action. the trust said it is disappointed with the reports findings, but fully accepts them and is determined to get things right. nyall‘s father says he was told by staff they understand how he feels. he says that is impossible. nicki fox, bbc news. there are profound legal and ethical challenges to overcome before facial recognition technology can be regularly used in street policing, that's according to an independent report. the software identifies suspects by comparing police images with faces in crowds. the university of cardiff noted that while it helped catch suspects, it wasn't always accurate. here's our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw. using computers to recognise faces.

artificial intelligence is now being used by police to identify suspects. but does it work? cardiff university examined the use of facial recognition by south wales police at last year's champions league final and at a series of other events, including rugby internationals and pop concerts. cameras scanned thousands of spectators, comparing their features to images on a police database. it was part of a trial project funded by the home office. at the start, the system accurately matched only 3% of faces it picked out. that increased to 46% when a new computer algorithm became available, leading researchers to conclude that the technology can certainly assist police in spotting suspects who otherwise wouldn't be found. in the course of the trial, they recognised on a number of occasions, that it could have other uses.

for example, there were uses of it to identify victims of crime as well, when they have been quite badly injured. there are uses of it to identify missing people, and also potentially we think there might be uses that could be put in place in terms of managing people with vulnerabilities such as alzheimer's, who have a tendency to go missing, in order to be able to locate them for safeguarding reasons. but researchers say facial recognition is not a silver bullet. the system struggled to work with large crowds and in poor light, while the face type of a small number of people triggered false positive results. danny shaw, bbc news. 22 people have been killed and 22 others injured in a series of explosions near a chemical factory in northern china. the fire engulfed 50 vehicles. the local government says it's investigating the cause of the incident. more than 100 top scientists

in china have signed a letter condemning claims made by a chinese researcher that he helped create the world's first genetically edited babies. the scientist, from the university of shenzhen, says he has sucessfully altered the dna of twin girls to help them resist the hiv virus. he's been presenting his findings to a conference in hong kong, from where our china correspondent robin brant sent this report. the doctor spent an hour inside their very calmly defending his work, but he was light on specifics. that is problematic. he said his work has been reviewed by several experts along the way, but he didn't give any details, no names. he said as well that chinese law prevented him from giving the names of the pa rents of him from giving the names of the parents of these two twins. he could not say where they live, either. he did say, intriguingly, that berwick is another pregnancy at the very

early stages involving an embryo which is team hasjeanne edited. that is to come. there were lots of questions, it felt to me quietly hostile. questions about funding, questions about secrecy. he said his manuscript detailing the work he has done will be put online for others to review. that is now the key question in this whole sensational revelation. will the details of what he has done be fully published? will they be fully shared and fully available for others, others, his peers in china and the on to analyse and make their independent assessment? the government is publishing it economic analysis looking at the long—term effects of brexit. the document will look at various scenarios and is expected to explore

what might happen in the case of no deal. the chancellor philip hammond joins us now from westminster. good morning. can i ask you first, theresa may is trying to persuade people that her deal is the only deal and the right way to go. had you think are campaign to get people on side is going so far? —— how do you think? the prime minister's deal has many critics, what we have not heard is a better plan. this is the only plan available for a negotiated exit from the eu that will allow us to deliver brexit in accordance with the referendum decision, and protect our economy. that is what we regard as our principal task. you reiterate her message that it is the only plan, it doesn't make it a good plan. it is the best plan available. we have been even a clear structure by the british people to exit the eu and what we spend our time doing is negotiating an exit that protects

the british economy, protects people ‘sjobs, the british economy, protects people ‘s jobs, protects the british economy, protects people ‘sjobs, protects british businesses, allows our export businesses, allows our export businesses to carry on trading with the european union so that we can carry on seeing rising wages and rising living standards over the yea rs rising living standards over the years to come. that is what the british people want. they want to leave the european union, but they do not want to be made poorer in the process. they want our economy to be protected and that is what this deal does. i suspect a lot of people listening to you this morning, given what you know and the studies you have done and these reports, your own analysis is to be published later today. they might be well interested in some specifics. for example, food prices. are they going to go up or down as a result of theresa may's deal? if we are able to deliver the deal that the prime minister has negotiated, we shouldn't see any impact on food prices at all. there will be no ta riffs prices at all. there will be no tariffs on products coming into the

uk and both sides have made a commitment in this agreement that we reached on sunday, to work to minimise any frictions at the border. so we should see no material changes at all. if there is no deal, on the food price issue, because sometimes it is helpful to be specific about things rather than talking about generalities copy in the event of a no deal, the impact on food prices, according to your own analysis? the figures that are going to be published later today don't go into the specifics of individual commodities, but other people, for example, some of the big supermarket chains, have made state m e nts supermarket chains, have made statements already about they expect would happen to products that they import. it is clear, if we had no deal scenario, that would create impediments to trade with the

european union and anything that creates impediments will increase costs a nd creates impediments will increase costs and prices. it is absolutely clear that no deal would lead to higherfood prices. clear that no deal would lead to higher food prices. you are looking at the generalities of the economy, asi at the generalities of the economy, as i understand it, in relation to these numbers. can you honestly say that in theresa may's deal the economy will be better than it is as we currently stand within the eu? economy will be better than it is as we currently stand within the 5mm the options available to deliver brexit, to deliver on the commitment we have made to the british people, to exit the eu, the deal which the prime minister has negotiated is the best one for the british economy. better than a straightforward free—trade agreement, even if that we re free—trade agreement, even if that were available, better than being in the ea, certainly far better than no deal exit. it remains implicit in what you are saying, you are phrasing it carefully, but your main implicit in what you are saying that you think remaining in the eu would

be better for our economy. well, if the only consideration was the economy, then the analysis shows clearly, that remaining in the european union would be a better outcome for the economy. but not by. the prime minister's deal delivers an outcome that is very close to the economic benefits of remaining in, while having all the political benefit of being out. clearly, people don't only look at the economy, they also look at the political and constitutional benefit of exiting the european union. that is what drove the decision in the referendum vote. there is a lot of scaremongering going on at the moment about what happens in the event of a no—deal brexit. you are amongst those talking about how dreadful the economy could become and how difficult things could be for people. why are you try to scare people? i am not trying to scare

anybody and i reject the term scaremongering. if the government was not doing anything about the possibility that we could leave the eu injust four possibility that we could leave the eu in just four months time with no deal at all, if we were not making any preparations, i would be on this programme and you would rightly be attacking the for not preparing britain for a possibility which clearly could happened. in that case, we know for example, that there will be significant delays at there will be significant delays at the channel ports because customs procedures will have to be introduced where they don't exist now and that will slow down the flow of vehicles and therefore, the flow of vehicles and therefore, the flow of goods coming into britain and going out of written. of course, we have to prepare for that, we have to make arrangements that will, as far as possible, minimise any disruption that will be caused by that no deal exit and the government is spending a lot of time and actually quite a lot of money, on preparing contingency plans, just as government would for any possible

scenario that we thought was likely to possibly happen, which would have a negative impact. we have to be prepared. can i ask you a couple of personal questions in relation to brexit? that came out wrong, you know what i mean. your situation in relation to the vote on the 11th of december, supposing theresa may loses that vote, and it is voted down, are you prepared to say here and now that you will remain member of her cabinet? it's that a guarantee? you're into hypothetical... i would like a straight answer. we will sell this deal, explain the benefits of the prime minister's deal to the people of britain. we're going to show them how it's the only way to deliver brexit while also protecting our economy. with respect, mr hammond,

i'd like to... national interests first. you know howl hate interrupting people, if anyone is listening to what you said, they will read that one way, you will not guarantee you will quit the government if she loses this boat. you're not prepared to give that guarantee this morning, which people will take to issue new may well do that —— vote. will take to issue new may well do that -- vote. the prime minister has set herself that if we don't get this boat through parliament, we're in uncharted territory. we're in an unknown world and we'll have to decide how to proceed —— vote. we'll sit down, if that were to happen, as a cabinetand sit down, if that were to happen, as a cabinet and i will certainly be there at the cabinet table. we will sit down as a cabinet and decide how best to proceed, and what will guide us best to proceed, and what will guide us is what we believe is in the best interests of the nation. philip hammond, thank you for your time this morning. 7:17am. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. it is quite miserable in lots of

places today? it is, a grotty start to the day. good morning. nota it is, a grotty start to the day. good morning. not a great start or great day to be on the move, lots of surface water and is a around following heavy overnight rain. more rain through the day and the winds are picking up in the west. widespread gales and severe gales developing. bbc local radio is your best port of call for travel disruption wherever you're heading. at the moment, one area of heavy rain clearing out. patchy rain and drizzle, coming and going across the rest of the country through the morning. can't guarantee you will be dry in the morning commute, dam at times is more likely, heavy rain into northern ireland through the morning and that heavy rain will go to parts of scotland. further south, the clouds breaking up so the better chance of a bit of sunshine but still heavy showers. note the temperatures, double figures for all, into the teens, we haven't seen that for a week or so. a milder

start, one crumb of comfort on a wet and windy day and into the evening, this is how the evening commute looks. we could see maybe 70 mph in the north and west of scotland. persistent rain in the southern highlands, grampians and southern uplands causing minor flooding. worst of the rain in northern ireland could cause breaks in the cloud. a few showers in england and wales, but breaks in the cloud and still windy, the winds will force just about every everywhere but maybe 60 mph in the southern coasts, maybe 60 mph in the southern coasts, may be more. the winds will ease a touch. the rain eases off but later on it returns to parts of england, wales and by the of the night, northern ireland. helping to keep the temperatures up, though. milder by night than it has been by dave recently, for some, 12 or 13. we got warm air pushing north ahead of this cold front, but ahead of that we will see another windy spell, especially for england and wales tomorrow morning. for tomorrow

morning's commute, the strongest of the winds, 40, 50, 60 mph gusts, outbreaks of rain coming and going in the morning, heaviest in the west, affecting northern ireland and that will slide its way through the morning into the afternoon across parts of scotland but it means most will brighten up to sunshine and a few have read showers in the west later —— heavy. a better day for most on thursday. still mild but feeling fresher than today. that continues on friday. the winds from the north atlantic comes from this world of low pressure, bringing a mixture of sunshine and showers with a greater chance of sunshine on friday across the uk. on the weekend, some sunshine. the outlook fairly negative, rain in most places and you'll notice that on your apps. the rain will come and go on the weekend, drier moments to make the most of, not a washout by any means! thanks very much, matt! ben, we like consumer stories that

involve saving muggy, this is interesting. 118 call, how much does it cost? you ring directory enquiries, you're on the call may be 90 seconds, something like that.|j thought 90 seconds, something like that.” thought about 45p. i know it is expensive. wrong, £1123. for one call? for one call. that's the current average of the most popular provider. you haven't got your decibel points mixed up? £11.33 and. staggering amount of muggy, but there is help. —— £1133. —— money. in the last few minutes the telecoms regulator ofcom has announced that it will limit how much people can be charged for directory enquiry calls. it will limit the cost of a call for £3.65 for a 92nd call. that compares to the current astronomical provides 118118 charges, a massive £11.23.

her majesty's revenue and customs says there's been a 20% rise in scams the minding money over the phone and via e—mail and text. they warn the scams are getting sophisticated increasingly —— demanding. some messages threatened legal action if the caller doesn't comply with the demand to transfer money. her majesty's revenue and customs says if you're in any doubt, hang up and call them directly. there could be a new streaming service to rival the likes of amazon prime and netflix. later the regulator will back calls for public service broadcasters, including the bbc, itv and channel 4 to launch a combined service rather than their current existing platforms, like iplayer, itv pub and all4. recent attem pts iplayer, itv pub and all4. recent atte m pts to iplayer, itv pub and all4. recent attempts to do that were blocked by the regulator but they say the market has changed because of the arrival of new players charging monthly subscriptions —— itv pub. i will be back after 8am. thanks, ben! as winter approaches,

charities are calling for more to be done to help the hundreds of thousands of people across the uk without a place to call home. today, a campaign to end rough sleeping launches in london. brea kfast‘s graham satchell looks at what's being done both there and in manchester to tackle the problem. she's not... oh, she is! it's a bitterly cold night. hello? we're a homeless service, outreach. we're just going to check you out, darling. hidden away in a back alley, a woman is sleeping rough in an abandoned cab. jamie and his team from london street rescue are trying to help the hard to reach. disappointingly i don't find it shocking any more. she's got a relatively secure sleeping spot, which is an awful thing to hear yourself say, but that gives her the security she needs at the moment. to be able to work with them, we have to try to break through that and see what we can do to help.

the lady in the cab doesn't want immediate help, butjamie will be back. london street rescue get specific information about people sleeping rough from the police, the ambulance service and members of the public. they're just one part of a beefed—up strategy to tackle rough sleeping in london this winter. despite this effort, homelessness has more than doubled since 2010. the numbers of homeless people are going up because the causes of homelessness are not being tackled. you can't solve a homelessness crisis without homes, for a start. the freeze on housing benefits and universal credit are tipping people over the edge, and then just the cost of renting is increasing astronomically and much faster than earnings, so we're increasingly seeing people in work and also homeless. i've met people sleeping rough who are working. it's dangerous living outside, you know, in these weathers, you could quite easily die some nights. it gets too cold. no food.

me and the dog, we're just hungry and freezing. nasty. i've had more than enough. anthony liddell in a tent in manchester for eight months last year after breaking up with his partner. —— lived in. manchester's winter scheme is called a bed every night, and has already had some success, taking 300 people of the street. he's been helped by shelter. i'm happy. i can switch a light on when i like. it's not dark. instead of having a candle in a tent and i burn myself out, it's brilliant. where are you normally sleeping? 0k. back in london, jamie is trying to persuade another rough sleeper to get to a hospital with no luck. this is it. there's someone sleeping there. the government in westminster said it's committed £100 million to end rough sleeping in england by 2027. but campaigners say despite the extra winter efforts, there's a sense here of treating the symptoms,

not the cause. and we'll hear more on this from the mayor of greater manchester andy burnham after 8am this morning. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. still to come: watchdog has been continuing its investigations into food allergy labelling, looking at the restaurants and coffee shops which are getting it wrong. you'd be surprised! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm i' m charlotte i'm charlotte franks. we already know the number of murders in the capital this year is close to a ten—year high, but one south london borough has seen the number there fall significantly. croydon had two murders in 2018, down from eight last year and knife crime has also dropped slightly. one local activist says grassroots engagement is helping to prevent

serious violence. allow them to have their voice, speak of their truth. allow them to have their voice, speak their truth. that's what we've had in croydon, and i'm proud to say i had a hand in establishing that. we've been consistent and i think that speaks a small amount to the success we're having here in the reduction of our crime rate because for once the community feels it has a voice. the mother of a gb snowboarder who took her own life earlier this year says she hopes her daughter's legacy will be to raise awareness of mental health issues. ellie soutter who went to school in surrey died on her 18th birthday injuly. her parents have now received an outstanding achievement award on her behalf, and want her story to help others in the future. it looked like she had it all, but she didn't have it all. mentally, inside her head, she didn't have it all, so therefore, if other people feel the same way, they need to be able to talk about it. charities are calling for more to be

done to help the thousands of people in the capital without a home this winter. this year, city hall will coordinate emergency shelters when temperatures drop below zero across all london boroughs. previously they were opened on a borough by borough basis. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on all tube lines this morning. onto the roads, and on the a13, traffic is crawling into town approaching the goresbrook interchange at dagenham. westminster bridge remains closed northbound between lambeth palace road and victoria embankment. and whitechapel high street is closed eastbound between the junctions of commercial road and white church lane for gas leak repairs. now let's take a look at the weather, with kate kinsella. good morning. a mild start this morning, especially compared to the last few days. temperatures mostly in double figures first it is rather damp. outbreaks of rain.

more to come today. the temperature stays mild. these outbreaks of rain will push through, turning light and patchy through the day. these are the wind gusts in mph in black discs. looking at 40 or maybe 45mph even through central london, so a very windy day, but look at those temperatures, up to 14 by the end of the afternoon. the cloud and remaining rain overnight should clear. clear spells and then a repeat performance, more cloud moving in and further spells of heavy rain. staying pretty windy overnight as well, and these are the minimum temperatures. not dropping down too much at all, between ten and 12. a mild start tomorrow, outbreaks in the morning but becoming dry. still very windy tomorrow, looking at gusts of 40, maybe 50 mph. 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 it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast

with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. the chancellor has told this programme that remaining in the eu would be betterfor the uk on a purely economic basis. his comments come as the government will publish today its assessment of how the various possibilities for brexit could affect the economy. meanwhile, theresa may travels to scotland to argue the case for the deal she's negotiated with brussels. if the only consideration, the only consideration was the economy, then the analysis shows clearly that remaining in the european union would be a better outcome for the economy. but not by much. the prime minister's deal delivers an outcome thatis minister's deal delivers an outcome that is very close to the economic benefits of remaining in that, while having all the political benefit of being out. understaffing and unsafe wards mean the norfolk and suffolk nhs

foundation trust has been placed in special measures by inspectors for the third time in as many years. that makes it the uk's worst performing mental health trust and the care quality commission says it has just weeks to make improvements to safety. the trust says it accepts the findings and is determined to improve. the department of health says it's providing support to the trust. there are profound legal and ethical challenges to overcome before facial recognition technology can be regularly used in street policing. that's according to an independent report. the software identifies suspects by comparing police images with faces in crowds, cardiff university noted that while it helped catch suspects, it wasn't always accurate. here's our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw. many women who experience a traumatic birth are being let down by the nhs and some are even being left with undiagnosed post traumatic stress disorder. new research from the royal college of psychiatrists suggests as many as one in 25 women experience ptsd after childbirth.

nhs england says it was improving mental health support for new mothers. more than 100 top scientists in china have signed a letter condemning claims made by a chinese researcher that he helped create the world's first genetically edited babies. the scientist, from the university of shenzhen, says he has sucessfully altered the dna of twin girls to help them resist the hiv virus. the chinese government has ordered an "immediate investigation" into the claims. scientists in australia have started the largest and most complicated coral regeneration project ever undertaken on the great barrier reef. researchers are collecting millions of coral eggs and sperm during the spectacular annual spawning event on the reef. it's the first step of an ambitious scheme that could help save dying coral reefs around the world. if you're afraid of heights, you might want to look away now. chris gursky, on the left, posted this video of his first experience of hang—gliding on a recent holiday to switzerland. his instructor failed to attach a safety harness,

and he got a little more hanging and a lot more heart—in—the—mouth than he'd signed up for — four minutes of it in fact. luckily the pilot managed to navigate them both to a safe landing. it drops down to the ground as it gets closer. that is the speed of it. that is how you land, rather than just it. that is how you land, rather thanjust being it. that is how you land, rather than just being dumped. it. that is how you land, rather thanjust being dumped. he it. that is how you land, rather than just being dumped. he was gripping on the whole time. had the effect at —— forget to attach a safety harness? that is a basic things. he had to have, he had to go for hospital because of his wrist. i

would love to you the conversation between them after that landing. would love to you the conversation between them after that landingm is interesting, cameras don't miss anything. that is all filmed and yea rs anything. that is all filmed and years ago you wouldn't have seen that. cameras see everything and it ta kes that. cameras see everything and it takes new to what happened last night. we have a piece coming up from last night's games. watch him react to a goal and ms in the game. —— miss. lots of managers do not want to react. when he is disappointed, he lets us know. so good news for both manchester sides who are through to the knockout stages of the champions league. but if you have a look at these pictures ofjose mourinho, you'll get an idea of how close manchester united came to slipping up. david ornstein wraps up the night's action. playing at these so—called theatre

of dreams has become something of a nightmare for manchester united this season. against young boys, a fine chance to recapture their old habit of winning, though marcus rashford quickly showcased united's more recent trend — failing to find the net. managerjose mourinho unimpressed. young boys began to grow in belief and would have taken the lead if david de gea hadn't intervened. that save proved all the more crucial when maroune fellaini struck in stoppage time to lift the gloom and to some interesting celebrations. in lyon, manchester city fell behind to a breathtaking goal by maxwel cornet. the visitors responded well, however. nothing was stopping this laporte effort from levelling the scores. although cornet had looked to have got the decisive blow,

city had other ideas. sergio aguero securing a point and their passage to the last 16. david ornstein, bbc news. for those of you not familiar with the term vt, it means video television. tonight then, and both tottenham and liverpool have some work to do if they're to qualify. for spurs, it's quite simple. either beat inter milan or they go out of the competition. they've got themselves in a spot of bother after failing to win any of their first three games. as for liverpool, they will qualify if they win in paris and red star don't beat napoli. plenty for boss jurgen klopp to think about, but he was a bit distracted by the translator in his pre—match press conference. that is a very erotic voice, by the way. laughter. congratulations! wow! again, please. laughter. woops! was it you? anyway... that was fun.

he isa was it you? anyway... that was fun. he is a lovely man. we like him, a bit of fun. quite relaxed ahead of a pressure game. to be clear, it was a french accent, that is what he was listening to. i thought it had a mexican feel to it. listening to. i thought it had a mexican feelto it. he listening to. i thought it had a mexican feel to it. he was actually listening to a man. sol campbell has his first job in management. the former england defender‘s been given the job at macclesfield town who are bottom of the football league. he was there to see them beat exeter last night. campbell has previously complained that his managerial career has been hampered by a lack of opportunity for black coaches. england survived a fightback from uganda to win the first of their three match netball series. england had a nine goal lead at half time, but they let uganda back into it and the scores were level in the final quarter. but england got themselves going again in liverpool and won

by 50 points to 46. and there's a big fight for tyson fury this weekend. he challenges deontay wilder for the wbc heavyweight title in los angeles this weekend. ahead of the fight they both took time out of their training schedule to meet the fire teams who've been dealing with those horrendous wild fires. and fury took the opportunity to draw attention to another big problem in los angeles. there is a lot of homeless people on the streets here, more than i have ever seen ever in my life. i'm in downtown la, but if you go five minutes down the road, there are thousands of homeless people. you think you might be in a third world country. it is a crisis situation, something needs to be done about it. i know it's just an outsider opinion, but it is a situation that is happening all over the world, in the uk here as well. and before i go, how about this for a feat of concentration.

two chess grandmasters have spent the entire month of november locked in stalemate. this is norway's magnus carlson and america's fabiano caruana. after 12 games and 12 draws, this afternoon they head into a series of fast—paced tie—breakers called ‘armageddon' to decide who becomes world champion. the winner will also get a million euros. i thought one of them was asleep.” would like to watch it. i really, really like chess. that is possibly because you understand it and i don't. once you understand it it is quite addictive. thoughts? not for me. certainly not as a spectator sport. there are 20 who do, that is why it is on. 7:39am is the time. will have the weather coming up for you a little bit later. —— we will. the importance of clear and accurate food allergy labelling is something which has been highlighted by the recent high—profile case of natasha ednan—laperouse who died after eating a baguette from pret a manger. but a watchdog live

investigation has also uncovered a number of other restaurants and coffee shops which are getting it wrong. presenter matt allwright is here to tell us more. good morning. first thing to say is, after a ll good morning. first thing to say is, after all of the focus on this, you might think they would have got it right. you would have thought so. very height profile places coming in. we are talking about ten allergy deaths every year. these are not small numbers, this is affecting people and affecting the way people live their lives as well. where they can go and eat, where they feel safe to go and eat. we are just scratching the surface of the story now and we are discovering what the big difference it next. —— it makes. we posed as customers with food allergies and went to six of the big—name family restaurant. starbucks, costa, frankie & benny's and nando's we were looking to get the big information, to know in those 14

allergy groups that we were absolutely safe. pizza express were the only chain to give accurate advice in all five of the branches we visited. five of each. five of each, 30 in total stock of the others let us now. to get an idea of the difference it makes, you have to talk to frank and matilda, they both had a nut allergy and went to the chain coast to coast and were given an agreement to sign, which acknowledged that the restaurant could not guarantee that any dish was free from allergens. they are sitting there signing something on an ipad, saying that we cannot guarantee you will be safe in the. —— in here. guarantee you will be safe in the. -- in here. they identified people who had allergies. they identified themselves and said this is important to us, as this clip shows you can only imagine how it feels.

it is as if when you say you have a nut allergy, you are a problem to them and the restaurant. you are paying customer. that is what we are saying. it is difficult scenario because we are not there to trip them up, we are there to enjoy a meal and hopefully go home at the end of the night not in an ambulance. as we were going around, we we re ambulance. as we were going around, we were testing these, to give you an example, frankie and habitat beanies, our undercover person looked at salary. the company ‘s website says it contains celery, we know that is the case from the website. but it is not necessarily on the menu, you rely on staff to give you the correct information. the server did not consult the product guide and this was the information that we got on them. that is frightening that staff have

not been trained in that sense. you have also been to the companies as well and referring to frankie and beanies and coast to coast has said: the allergy advice present to the customers to read and it is not the disclaimer and said it does not ask gas to waive their right. —— guest we're. it was to sign something, but not their right. it is the feeling you get. a few and you are taking yourfamily out you get. a few and you are taking your family out for dinner and you wa nt to your family out for dinner and you want to not come home in an ambulance, you are just asking for that information to be there on the menu c can make a decision and feel safe and go out together, otherwise

people will stop our —— eating out together. it is in these chains interest. another instance, our reporter asked for a a mince pie and we knew it contained milk, we asked a server whether it contained milk. we were told, after consulting the book, the server told us that contained sorely milk. have a look at this. —— soy milk. this is the one that worries me most. potentially, if you have an allergy, you are at risk now. after this, i have asked, tonight you will see, i speak to the fsa to ask how

difficult is this to get rid major restau ra nts difficult is this to get rid major restaurants who are making the same dishes, the same products every day, day in day out, to put it on the label so people have confidence where they go. they all said that the incidence you uncovered fell short of the usual standards. they have said that they have addressed issues with stuff. it looks like staff are doing things wrong. they have not trained in. if you are not trained or told a procedure to go through... it is unfair on staff. it is unfairfor them through... it is unfair on staff. it is unfair for them to take the responsibility for what could be a life or death situation and they are being the people who are having to give this information. it should be there on the menu. it shouldn't be so there on the menu. it shouldn't be so difficult. you have also mentioned, it says it has listened, it is now saying that the information provided to the journalist was ultimately correct, but it is still now taking steps to make allergy information clearer, it

introducing qr codes on menu cards and it will be making the text in its guide together. there was confusion about how to read the guide among the staff as well. so much is in the programme tonight. people will probably think twice at the moment. thank you so much. and you can see more on that investigation and what the restaurants and coffee shops have to say on watchdog live on bbc one tonight at 8am. 7:46am. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. tell me the rain and the piercing arraignment that makes you call to your bones is going away? -- cold. you will have to wait a bit longer. friday will be the best sunshine days. a grotty day this morning. lots of rain overnight has left service water and spray on the roads, not a

great day, winds picking up, widespread severe gales later. bbc local radio best port of call for travel disruption. at the moment, a long batch of heavy rain going through, splatters of blue on the radar, an indication the rain will come and go through the day, most of it light and patchy but the deeper blue colours indicate heavy rain into the west once again. showers further south, sunshine in between but persistent rain later this morning in northern ireland and in the afternoon, across a good part of scotland. note the temperatures, milder this morning than for some time, a mild day by large with temperatures into the teens for many this afternoon. that will be tempered by the wind and rain. the winds, as i said, strengthening through the day and into the evening rush—hour, 60 or 70 through the day and into the evening rush—hour, 60 or70 mph through the day and into the evening rush—hour, 60 or 70 mph gusts in northern and western scotland with persistent rain causing minor flooding in the southern highlands, grampians and southern uplands and maybe the lake district fells. drying off back in northern ireland,

even though we could see 50 mph gusts around the coast, as in england and wales —— drying off. in the evening in rush—hour, the better chance of getting home dry, some showers but clearer spells. tonight it dries off for a while, the winds become less strong but picked up again in england and wales later as rain returns. —— pick up. northern ireland as well we think. temperatures hire van —— higher than in the day. ad of this cold front we will see the strongest winds. —— ahead of. these other strongest gusts tomorrow. england and wales, southern and western coast, 50—60 mph coasts, the wind is not as strong as in scotland and northern ireland but a breezy day nonetheless. the rain clears from northern ireland quickly, pushing in across scotland, wet morning/ early afternoon here, but like most, a

sunshine and showers state, the best chance of seeing sunshine through the second half of tomorrow. a few heavy showers in the west end by and large, still mild. cooler —— west and by and large. a better chance of sunshine on friday. compared with the next couple of days. sunshine will be there this weekend at times, naga and akbarzhonjalilov, but as the outlook chart indicates, a bit of rain at times but not as windy as it will be today or indeed tomorrow. you know what i wish i had at the moment, i'm going to look for one, a see—through umbrella, you can stay dry and then see the sun. it will be today. you said the sun is coming out tomorrow. it will. i think there already are see—through umbrellas.” didn't say i was going to invent one, isaid didn't say i was going to invent one, i said i was going to find one! this story, we have been slightly

amazed by this this morning, when you call 118 118, how much do you pay? 40p. you call 118 118, how much do you pay? 40p, £1,you're you call 118 118, how much do you pay? 40p, £1, you're going to pay something, but the realfigure is... £11.23 for a 90 second call. astonishing! the regulator has said this morning that is going to end. they are going to cap that at £3.65 for all link worries to directory enquiries. i'm amazed so many use these because you've got your smart phone or look for it online —— all enquiries. but people still being hit by the costs. over a million people call a directory service every year and charges for calling 118 numbers is something the regulator has been concerned for some time. this morning it says it will limit the cost of a call to a maximum of £3.65 for 90 seconds. that compares to £11.23, which is what the most popular provider 118 118 currently charges. jane rumble is director

of consumer policy at ofcom. good morning, jane, nice to see you. explain to us what you've announced this morning. i've covered the headlines, but you're angry at how much they're charging and you're saying they can only charge £3.65. that's right. in recent years we've seen that's right. in recent years we've seen sharp price increases for some directory enquiries services, as you pointed out, some services like the most popular, 118118, now charges over £11 for a 90—second call. now, there are still some consumers today for whom these services really matter. it's important to them they can get the number they need when they need it. this is around 1 million people, as you'vejust they need it. this is around 1 million people, as you've just said, and what we've found out is most people just don't know how much these services cost today, and so

have received unexpectedly high bills. in fact, some people have struggled to pay those bills and so what we've announced today is we are stepping in and taking firm action by introducing a price cap to protect consumers from high prices. this will significantly reduce the cost of most calls. most will welcome that cap today then, but two thingsjumped welcome that cap today then, but two things jumped out at me. welcome that cap today then, but two thingsjumped out at me. why welcome that cap today then, but two things jumped out at me. why it's taken so long, and why118118 was allowed to charge £11.23 for a 90—second call. how was that ever allowed in the first place?” disagree it's taken a long time this year. we set out our plans injune this year, we set out the evidence and our concerns. we have weighed this up carefully and today we have announced our decision that we need to introduce a price cap to protect consumers from these high prices. who is responsible for making it clear what these phone calls could cost? well, when we last looked at

this sector back in 2012 when there was little evidence of harm, and prices since then have increased sharply. now, we put in place back then a requirement that providers needed to include pricing when they advertise their service. but what's happened is there's been little or no advertising, and yet prices have increased, consumers don't know how much these services cost. as i said, they then receive an unexpectedly high bill, struggle to pay it. so we're very concerned. today we're introducing a price cap in order to protect consumers from these high prices and this will significantly reduce the costs of these calls. 118 118, to use your example, the most popular service, is synonymous with this service. it advertises absolutely everywhere. we can certainly see now how it can afford to advertise everywhere. why are you

not making it more visible and advertising the alternatives? there are 400 providers of directory enquiries and there are some that are free, why aren't you advertising those and playing them at their own game and making people realise there are alternatives to calling these very expensive numbers as you like the first thing to point out, while you may have seen adverts for 118 118, they won't be for directory enquiry services, they're likely to be for other products and 118118 offers. a viewer might be reminded offers. a viewer might be reminded of the number and they might call it. we need to step in and introduce the cap to protect consumers so they can call the numbers in the safe knowledge that they're protected from substantial high prices and can call these numbers in comfort. jane, good to talk to you. jane rumble, director of consumer policy at

ofcom, who this morning have imposed that cap. £3.65 is all you'll have to pay rather than the staggering £11.23 by the most popular provider. more from me after 8am. it is still a lot. thanks, bennett. think about other methods. —— ben. internet, phone, use what you can. you may never have given concrete much thought but it plays a vital part in our day—to—day lives, from the bridges we cross to the roads we drive on. but it keeps cracking, which costs billions to fix each year leading to roadworks and delays. now scientists at the university of cambridge are working on a solution, concrete that can repair itself. here's our science correspondent, richard westcott. concrete is the second most used substance on earth. a key ingredient in roadbuilding, repairing cracks can cause long delays. so what if you could build concrete that could fix itself? when there is a crack in concrete, this crack is going to open the matrix and then open the capsule as well. livia is helping to design tiny capsules the size of sand grains that will sit inside the concrete. any crack will split them open, releasing a healing agent that fixes the crack.

so they come along off the tube, they are collected in the solution and here this white material is where you can see thousands of micro—capsules being produced and collected in the solution. under the microscope, they look like little eggs. and here is one that has opened up inside some concrete. so effectively you are trying to make a little egg with a hard shell and an agent inside that will fix the concrete. i mean, what is the hardest part of that? you are making it on such a tiny scale. good question. the hardest bit is about controlling the flow rate so i can precisely control the size of this tiny shell that i am doing, with this tiny egg that i am doing, and also control the shell thickness. the cambridge team is working on other self—healing systems, too. so this is inside the concrete, agent always pumping through,

and the minute a crack goes through the concrete it will find one of these plastic tubes. the tube breaks, healing agent comes out and itjust seals the crack. and you can see only one of them breaks, which means you can use all the other of them for any other type of damage that happens over the life of the concrete structure. so you have dragged me here to look at a wall, haven't you? yep. a special wall, self—healing concrete. if i smash it hard, it will heal itself? yes, it will, yes, in two weeks' time. very important because we spent a huge amount of money on maintaining infrastructure, roads, bridges, tunnels, embankments, and it is very costly and there is a huge amount of disruption associated with it. so these materials basically have the ability to heal their own cracks. they sense damage and they repair themselves without the need for external intervention. just making the cement for concrete produces 8%

of the world's man—made co2. if it can heal itself, you can save money, the environment and cuts on trafficjams. richard wescott, bbc news, cambridge. there's no downside to that, is there, if it could work in practice. a few weeks? great! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. we already know the number of murders in the capital this year is close to a ten—year high, but one south london borough has seen the number there fall significantly. croydon had two murders in 2018, down from eight last year and knife crime has

also dropped slightly. one local activist says grassroots engagement is helping to prevent serious violence. allow them to have their voice, speak their truth. that's what we've had in croydon, and i'm proud to say i had a hand in establishing that. we've been consistent and i think that speaks a small amount to the success we're having here in the reduction of our crime rate because for once the community feels it has a voice. the mother of a gb snowboarder who took her own life earlier this year says she hopes her daughter's legacy will be to raise awareness of mental health issues. ellie soutter who went to school in surrey died on her 18th birthday injuly. her parents have now received an outstanding achievement award on her behalf, and want her story to help others in the future. it looked like she had it all, but she didn't have it all. mentally, inside her head, she didn't have it all, so therefore, if other people feel the same way, they need to be able to talk about it. charities are calling for more to be done to help the thousands of people

in the capital without a home this winter. this year, city hall will coordinate emergency shelters when temperatures drop below zero across all london boroughs. previously they were opened on a borough by borough basis. let's take a look at the travel situation now. minor delays on the waterloo & city line this morning. westminster bridge remains closed northbound between lambeth palace road and victoria embankment. and whitechapel high street is closed eastbound between the junctions of commercial road and white church lane. now let's take a look at the weather, with kate kinsella. good morning. a mild start this morning, especially compared to the last few days. temperatures mostly in double figures first it is rather damp. outbreaks of rain. more to come today. the temperature stays mild. these outbreaks of rain will push through, turning light and patchy through the day. these are the wind gusts

in mph in black discs. looking at 40 or maybe 45mph even through central london, so a very windy day, but look at those temperatures, up to 14 by the end of the afternoon. the cloud and remaining rain overnight should clear. clear spells and then a repeat performance, more cloud moving in and further spells of heavy rain. staying pretty windy overnight as well, and these are the minimum temperatures. not dropping down too much at all, between ten and 12. a mild start tomorrow, outbreaks in the morning but becoming dry. still very windy tomorrow, looking at gusts of 40, maybe 50 mph. 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 it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today... the chancellor tells this programme staying in the eu

is betterfor the uk economy than theresa may's deal but "not by much." the only consideration was the economy then the analysis shows clearly that remaining in the european union would be a better outcome for the economy but not by much. families failed. patients left in unsafe wards. inspectors give england's worst performing mental health trust just weeks to improve. iam i am live in dover where migrants are still making attempts to get across the channel on small votes. we will be asking why and how dangerous it is. ringing up a hefty bill. the telecoms regulator limits how much people can be charged for calling directory enquiries. in sport, jose mourinho vents his frustration, as manchester united get a late winner to qualify for the knockout stages of the champions league. and 60 years

after he recorded his last track buddy holly's greatest hits have been given an orchestral make—over. it will be raining on and off for much of the day in the uk today. gales or severe gales developing. not a good day to be on the move. the full details in 15 minutes. it's wednesday the 28th of november. our top story. the chancellor has told this programme that remaining in the eu would be betterfor the uk on a purely economic basis. his comments come as the government will publish today its assessment of how the various possibilities for brexit could affect the economy. philip hammond also told breakfast that a no—deal scenario would lead to high food prices. our political correspondent alex forsyth is in westminster for us. we spoke to philip hammond ahead of

this report. a lot of numbers coming out. if it is going to be bad post brexit comment no deal, staying in. are we any clearer? this analysis is poured over very closely, this time more than ever before. we are two weeks away from the crucial vote in the house of commons about theresa may's brexit deal. the government has looked at staying in the eu, they have looked at mrs may's brexit deal on what that would mean for the economy over 15 years and what no deal would mean for that they have concluded that no deal would be the worst. mrs may's option would be better than that but the best option for the economy only would be staying in the eu. this is what the chancellor said. if the only

consideration was the economy, and the analysis shows clearly that remaining in the european union would be a better outcome for the economy but not by much. the prime minister's deal delivers an outcome thatis minister's deal delivers an outcome that is very close to the economic benefits of remaining in while having all the political benefits of being out. you can expect that some brexiteers will seize on that and saying this is project fear, the government saying you have to back mrs may's because no deal is so bad for the economy. the chancellor rejected that suggestion but some are worrying this might further alienate the eurosceptics already do not like the deal. mrs may is still on her mission to try to convince the public to get behind it. she will be in scotland today. at the moment in parliament it is still looking like she will get a big

fight on our hands —— her hands to get enough support for the deal. understaffing and unsafe wards mean the norfolk and suffolk nhs foundation trust has been placed in special measures by inspectors for the third time in as many years. that makes it the uk's worst performing mental health trust and the care quality commission says it has just weeks to make improvements to safety as nicki fox reports. just some of the families failed by england's worst performing mental health trust. many taking their lives before getting the help they needed. 19—year—old nyall brown from norfolk died in may. a popular bmx—er, his family say they were denied crisis care and work told by staff to go private. he was speaking like a 14—year—old. he could only feel the left side of his leg. there was a lot of stuff going on up there that wasn't right. he broke down in the shower

that night and said, "why am i going crazy?" we said you are not going crazy, nyall. he couldn't hardly breathe, he couldn't hardly talk and we were sent home with him. the inspection report says people are self harming while waiting for care and the trust does not have a thread of safety running through it. it says thousands are waiting with no help, wards are unsafe and have been more deaths after failing to learn from mistakes. when people are in their hour of need, often extremely vulnerable, they need confidence that their services are safe and of appropriate quality. from this publication, it suggests that it is time for the secretary of state to step in and take action. the trust said it is disappointed with the reports findings, but fully accepts them and is determined to get things right. nyall‘s father says he was told by staff they understand how he feels. he says that is impossible. nicki fox, bbc news. there are "profound" legal and ethical challenges to overcome

before facial recognition technology can be regularly used in street policing — that's according to an independent report. the software identifies suspects by comparing police images with faces in crowds. cardiff university noted that while it helped catch suspects, it wasn't always accurate. here's our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw. using computers to recognise faces. artificial intelligence is now being used by police to identify suspects. but does it work? cardiff university examined the use of facial recognition by south wales police at last year's champions league final and at a series of other events, including rugby internationals and pop concerts. cameras scanned thousands of spectators, comparing their features to images on a police database. it was part of a trial project funded by the home office. at the start, the system accurately matched only 3% of faces it picked out. that increased to 46%

when a new computer algorithm became available, leading researchers to conclude that the technology can certainly assist police in spotting suspects who otherwise wouldn't be found. in the course of the trial, they recognised on a number of occasions, that it could have other uses. for example, there were uses of it to identify victims of crime as well, when they have been quite badly injured. there are uses of it to identify missing people, and also potentially we think there might be uses that could be put in place in terms of managing people with vulnerabilities such as alzheimer's, who have a tendency to go missing, in order to be able to locate them for safeguarding reasons. but researchers say facial recognition is not a silver bullet. the system struggled to work with large crowds and in poor light, while the face type of a small number of people triggered false positive results. danny shaw, bbc news.

many women who experience a traumatic birth are being let down by the nhs and some are even being left with undiagnosed post traumatic stress disorder. new research from the royal college of psychiatrists suggests as many as one in 25 women experience ptsd after childbirth. nhs england says it was improving mental health support for new mothers. more than 100 top scientists in china have signed a letter condemning claims made by a chinese researcher that he helped create the world's first genetically edited babies. the scientist, from the university of schengen, says he has sucessfully altered the dna of twin girls to help them resist the hiv virus. the chinese government has ordered an "immediate investigation" into the claims. scientists in australia have started the largest and most complicated coral regeneration project ever undertaken on the great barrier reef. researchers are collecting millions of coral eggs and sperm during the spectacular annual spawning event on the reef. it's the first step of an ambitious

scheme that could help save dying coral reefs around the world. those are the main stories this morning. the sport and the weather coming up shortly. as winter approaches, charities are calling for more to be done to help the hundreds of thousands of people across the uk without a place to call home. today a campaign to end rough sleeping launches in london. brea kfast‘s graham satchell looks at what's being done both there and in manchester to tackle the problem. she's not... oh, she is! it's a bitterly cold night. hello? we're a homeless service, outreach. we're just want to check you are all right, darling. hidden away in a back alley, a woman is sleeping rough in an abandoned cab. jamie and his team from

london street rescue are trying to help the hard to reach. disappointingly i don't find it shocking any more. she's got a relatively secure sleeping spot, which is an awful thing to hear yourself say, but that gives her the security she needs at the moment. to be able to work with her, we have to try to break through that and see what we can do to help. the lady in the cab doesn't want immediate help, butjamie will be back. london street rescue get specific information about people sleeping rough from the police, the ambulance service and members of the public. they're just one part of a beefed—up strategy to tackle rough sleeping in london this winter. despite this effort, homelessness has more than doubled since 2010. the numbers of homeless people are going up because the causes of homelessness are not being tackled. you can't solve a homelessness crisis without homes, for a start. the freeze on housing benefits and universal credit are tipping people over the edge, and then just the cost of renting is increasing astronomically

and much faster than earnings, so we're increasingly seeing people in work and also homeless. i've met people sleeping rough who are working. it's dangerous living outside, you know, in these weathers, you could quite easily die some nights. it gets too cold. no food. me and the dog, we're just hungry and freezing. nasty. i've had more than enough. anthony lived in a tent in manchester for eight months last year after breaking up with his partner. manchester's winter scheme is called a bed every night, and has already had some success, taking 300 people off the street. he's been helped by shelter. i'm happy. i can switch a light on when i like. it's not dark. instead of having a candle in a tent and i burn myself out, it's just brilliant. where are you normally sleeping? 0k.

back in london, jamie is trying to persuade another rough sleeper to get to a hostel with no luck. this is it. there's someone sleeping there. the government in westminster said it's committed £100 million to end rough sleeping in england by 2027. but campaigners say despite the extra winter efforts, there's a sense here of treating the symptoms, not the cause. the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, has pledged to end rough sleeping in the region by 2020. hejoins us now. good morning. ispend good morning. i spend a lot of time in manchester and homelessness is very prevalent and very, very visible. it is a big target to end homelessness by 2020 in manchester. how will you achieve that? end rough speaking, —— sleeping, there is a

difference. it is the right thing to do in my view. there is a humanitarian crisis on uk streets but it feels people have not been focusing on it, parliament is so distracted with brexit that it is not responding to what is happening. in those circumstances it is the cities that are stepping forward. sadiq khan in london today and all the work we have been doing. we believe it is simple. in this day and age we are wealthy enough to put and age we are wealthy enough to put a roof over every head every night of the week and that is what we are doing this winter. how will you do it? we have launched a campaign called a bed every night. we are providing somewhere to go for everybody every night. we do not have all the places we need just yet but we are getting there. last weekend 179 people were inside that provision, previously, a few weeks ago, they were out on the streets.

we are beginning to make a difference. the best statistics, 100 people have moved on from a bed every night to more secure accommodation. so it is beginning to work. if you give people basic stability and cover basic needs they can move forward in life and think about their next step. you talked about their next step. you talked about their next step. you talked about the discrepancy between the number of beds available and the number of beds available and the number needed, what is that? we currently have 250 beds available in greater manchester. every night. last year the official count was 280 we re last year the official count was 280 were sleepers in greater manchester. more shelters will open in manchester in the next couple of weeks. we are getting to the point where we nearly have enough in our scheme we think is beginning to work. i am scheme we think is beginning to work. iam having scheme we think is beginning to work. i am having to ask the public for support. we are asking for donations. there is not public funding there. as i said at the beginning the government and parliament needs to wake up to the

scale of the crisis. you say we are a wealthy country but you look at the housing situation in manchester and there is not affordable housing needed. you see buildings going up all the time great new flats going up all the time great new flats going upfor all the time great new flats going up for investors, not for young, first—time buyers or people on low incomes. how can you change that? under the governments of all colours going back decades we've not been building council houses and social housing and it goes back to the 80s with the right to buy, i think the right to buy policy is a big part of the cause of this. we've lost those homes, the social rented stock which gave people that ability to have their own home. the prime minister recently said councils will be free again to build council housing, that cannot happen a moment too soon. when is it going to happen then, you are the mayor. we are waiting for the government to give permission, but we are bringing through our own plan to build more homes for social rent and we will announce that early

in the new year, but we need the government to wake up to the scale of this. what do you do personally when you pass somebody in the street who is homeless, may be asking for money, what do you do?” who is homeless, may be asking for money, what do you do? i will be honest, i used to give them money and occasionally i still do because we we re and occasionally i still do because we were all in those situations but increasingly i am saying it's not the right thing to do. before bed every night to the public might have said to me you are not doing enough to help people so someone has to help them so i'm giving them something but now we've got more provision in place we are increasingly seeing give to the bed every night scheme because that provides a place for everybody and don't necessarily give on the streets because there are people out there playing on vulnerable people and there are those who use the sentiment around homelessness to bake sentiment around homelessness to ba ke eve n sentiment around homelessness to bake even though we have got a home. i donate 15% of my salary to the mayor homelessness fund so i do give

but i think it's better to give in those official rates so we can get the money in the right place and do more for each pound spent. you mentioned the obsession with the brexit at the moment, but there is a very clear link between the economy worsening and those who will be hit ha rd est if worsening and those who will be hit hardest if that happens, if the economy worsens we all know what the general rule is that those who are at the lower end of either salary, job situation, they will be hit the ha rd est, job situation, they will be hit the hardest, that can then spiral into somebody ending up homeless. there isa somebody ending up homeless. there is a pathway. what provision is manchester making for no deal which eve ryo ne manchester making for no deal which everyone accepts would be the worst scenario in terms of the economy? are you separately from government making provision right now for what it might be like? all of our councils have been doing that for the last couple of months. what does that mean in practice, what are they planning? they are having to look at what it might mean for council tax

revenues, if people are out of work, if budgets go down. the airport having to work out whether aeroplanes could function, the police service looking at if they would be able to share information ? try going with one, as the mayor of manchester do you think manchester airport can run properly if there is a no—deal brexit? we are not clear about that. we still don't know. greater manchester police just don't have clarity if it can operate on the way it currently does and it's why i am very clear that no deal is a nightmare scenario because it's a step off the cliff into the unknown andi step off the cliff into the unknown and i will take any measures to oppose that. it's too big a risk to peoples homes and jobs, families and quality—of—life. peoples homes and jobs, families and quality-of-life. and their safety? yeah, no deal in my view is a reckless gamble with the countries future and should be avoided at all costs. i would expect it would lead

to an even bigger homelessness crisis on our streets. we will leave it there, we appreciate you coming interesting to get the views of andy burnham on no deal, so bill cash will be coming to talk to us at 830 and he thinks that no deal will be not a problem. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. it's mild, above what they have been for some time but if you are heading out a lot of surface water on the roads, more to come and winds will pick up, widespread gales if not severe developing later. one batch of heavy rain moving off the east coast, splashes of blue on the chart, rain coming and going through much of the morning, cloudy and murky, into the afternoon some heavier bursts, more persistent rain for the early afternoon and mid

afternoon across a good part of scotland. breaks in the cloud further south, a little bit of sunshine to finish the day, 15 degrees but further north at milder airtaking hold, degrees but further north at milder air taking hold, the wind picking up. for thejourney air taking hold, the wind picking up. for the journey home from work later the evening commute, could see 60, 70 later the evening commute, could see 60,70 mph gusts later the evening commute, could see 60, 70 mph gusts developing, still 60, 70 mph gusts developing, still 60 mph gusts possible. the rain eases off for northern ireland, 5°99y eases off for northern ireland, soggy across the higher ground of scotla nd soggy across the higher ground of scotland and into cumbria, showers across england and wales but some brea ks across england and wales but some breaks in between. it will be windy, winds for the journey home stronger than they will be for the journey in. into tonight the winds will ease down, blustery night, south—west winds, many turning drive for a time, south—westerly winds bring rain back to parts of england and wales and into northern ireland, temperatures tonight higher than

they have been by day, 11, 12 in the south, but into tomorrow morning england and wales in particular more gales to come. the desperation of migrants who are trying to make it to the uk was laid bare yesterday with these shocking images of families with young children being rescued from a dinghy off the coast of dover. the home secretary has expressed concern at the increase in boats like these crossing the english channel saying the traffic is being organised by ‘criminal gangs'. simonjones is in dover for us this morning. simon, that view behind you is familiar to simon, that view behind you is familiartoa simon, that view behind you is familiar to a lot of people but in recent days and in the past month or so recent days and in the past month or so at some shocking images. absolutely, and despite repeated warnings that people are risking their lives it's still happening. we

know that over the past month at least 110 migrants have arrived by boat off the kent coast, a number of others have been intercepted by the french authorities and those are only at the attempts we actually know about. the weather conditions are know about. the weather conditions a re pretty know about. the weather conditions are pretty grim, it's raining, overnight it's been windy and some of the ferries have been delayed and we've not heard of any fresh attem pts we've not heard of any fresh attempts but as soon as the weather changes experts say then the boats will take to the water once again. yesterday we had a boat with nine migrants on board, two families with very young children, four children in all showing the risks people are taken. let's talk to people who know the situation, andy roberts is a former coast guard here and bridge it from refugee action network, andy, first of all, how dangerous is it? they are putting their lives in jeopardy. it's the busiest thoroughfare for shipping in the

world, over 400 commercial shipping movements a day, day and night, fog and gales, whatever is happening. i think it's not a case of if tragedy will happen it's a case of when a tragedy will happen. when people arrive for example the family yesterday, mum, dad, three children, what happens to them? they go through a process which involves having an initial interview done, the adults will have fingerprints taken and they will be given health checks and ultimately they will be moved into some basic accommodation while their asylum claim is processed. people will be shocked by the picture is particularly of young people on board the sports but there will be other people who say the boat should be turned back, send them back to france. it's worse than that, i've seen some harsh comments on social media but i would say where has her humanity gone? these people are in need and nobody should

have to risk their lives to claim asylum, people have a right to do that. we need to find a better way so that. we need to find a better way so people don't have to put the lives at risk. the home secretary has said he is concerned and is thinking about bringing back one of the borderfor sports thinking about bringing back one of the border for sports which thinking about bringing back one of the borderfor sports which is in the borderfor sports which is in the mediterranean, how effective do you think that could be, we are talking about policing the channel which is very big. the border force if they had more vessels would be staying this side of the channel, but needs the small boats will have crossed over halfway before our border force would get involved. i think the french are doing quite a good job on the other side, patrolling the beaches and turning them back, rescuing them. once they get halfway across it becomes a distress situation in many cases, they are not adequately addressed and having seen them landed, having seen and having seen them landed, having seen how cold, frozen and frightened they are, i think a tragedy will happen. i is very much on the

channel waiting for the next boat to arrive, that's the situation here in dover, let's get the news channel and weather where you are. not a great day to be on the move. the strongest winds in the north and west where winds could top 60, 70 miles an hour. after a wet morning across parts of england and wales it will turn to sunshine and showers in the afternoon. the rain will ease later in northern ireland but that will spread in a later in northern ireland but that willspread in a ——

later in northern ireland but that will spread in a —— across much of scotland. it will be a mild day with temperatures in the teens for many of you. the wind gusts will be more noticeable, topping 60 plus 70 miles an hour. widespread gales in lands and heavy rain on the southern slopes of the highlands and to the grampians in the southern uplands which could cause minorflooding. rain eases off for most in northern ireland by the evening but still windy around the coast. still above 40 miles an hour again towards gale force in inland areas of england and wales. compared with this morning a few cloud breaks with heavy showers here and there. this evening in scotla nd here and there. this evening in scotland the rain will ease for a time poster after a dry spell across england and northern ireland, the wind will pick up once again. cold est wind will pick up once again. coldest across the north of scotland but even here temperatures in double figures. in england and wales they will see the strongest of the wind.

pretty wet across northern ireland as well. gusts of 50 to 60 miles an hour across southern hills and coasts. into the afternoon it is sunshine and showers for many foods are still a breezy afternoon but temperatures holding up in double figures for many. goodbye for now. this is business live from bbc news with susannah streeter and sally bundock. what will brexit mean? the bank of england and the british government are both set to tell us what they think leaving the eu will mean for the economy. live from london, that's our top story on wednesday 27th november. even before the brexit documents are published, the chancellor tells us the analysis shows britain's economy would be

better off staying in the eu. also in the programme... the risk of chinese technology. new zealand becomes the latest country to block telecoms giant huawei on security grounds.
