have encouraged viewers to bet before, during and after games. but now the uk's leading betting firms have voluntarily agreed a whistle to whistle tv advertising ban. it was political pressure at how much betting advertising is on tv. more than 90 minutes of adverts were shown in the football world cup this summer shown in the football world cup this summerand shown in the football world cup this summer and antigambling campaigners say sports use of adverts normalises betting. now, following extensive talks, uk company to agree to know adverts will be broadcast for a defined period before and after a game is broadcast. horseracing will be exempt, all other sports will be included. final ratification is deleted before the ban comes into force, but that should be a formality, according to industry insiders, it could come as early as this month. richard conway, bbc news. we'll be speaking to richard about this in much more detail just before 7. a major review of mental health laws in england and wales has found they're outdated and that

disproportionate detention of people from ethnic minorities and an end to people being held in police cells, rather than hospitals. our review is try to bring mental health act up to the modern age. an act which does have some element of compulsion, we cannot deny that, but that must be reduced to the least possible and we should put more emphasis on the rights that people have, even when they are detained. georgy welcomes they are detained. georgy welcomes the review‘s recommendations, which will be considered by government ahead of plans to change that the law next year. james gallagher, bbc news. the impact of theresa may's brexit deal on the economy will be debated by mps today, as the government continues its efforts to secure support for the agreement. downing street insists the deal would deliver an economic partnership with the eu, closer than that of any other country. labour says, what's on offer will make people poorer. our political correspondent, jonathan blake is in westminster. we are still in the midst of this crucial week as we build towards

this debate and in fact, some of the papers saying now that perhaps this debate, the date of it might be debatable. that is one thing that is potentially being talked about here. it isa potentially being talked about here. it is a 354 mps in the house of commons behind us here, debating the prime minister's brexit plan. the focus is on the economy, so expect the chancellor philip hammond to open proceedings in the house, talking about how this is a deal that will protect jobs, talking about how this is a deal that will protectjobs, be good for business and provide the uk with a close trading relationship with the eu. as that continues, so to do the effo rts eu. as that continues, so to do the efforts by prime ministers, senior officials and ministers to talk around those mps who are so far indicating they will vote against the deal in parliament. last night, the deal in parliament. last night, the chief whip julian the deal in parliament. last night, the chief whipjulian smith was dispatched to the group of conservatives most staunchly against the brexit plan, but in favour brexit itself, to try to win them

round. later, mps who are privy counsellors, advising the queen on political matters, will be called in for a briefing on the cabinet office of the effects of no deal. that has been interpreted i some as an attempt to spook the grandees. thank you, will be talking to tout the moment keeping us up to date. and we are on the border of northern ireland and the republic of ireland of the issues faced there in the wa ke of the issues faced there in the wake of brexit conversations. the chief financial officer of chinese technology giant, huawei, has been arrested in canada. meng wanzhou faces extradition to the us on suspicion she violated sanctions against iran. china's embassy in canada protested at the arrest and demanded her release. huawei said it had little information about the charges and was "not aware of any wrongdoing by ms meng". the french government has dropped plans to raise fuel tax next year, after weeks of violent protests.

the morning. i'm in stunning castle howard in north yorkshire, as mike and charlie were saying, castle howard took 100 years to complete, there were 145 rooms, we are in the music room and let me show you around. drummers drumming, rehearsing for the big bash on 12th night, popped out for a tea but they have left everything behind, the uniforms, the drums, two robbins sitting here and a lovely real fire, nice and toasty. if you're stepping out, what you will notice is it's not as cold as it was to start the day yesterday, but in parts of the highlands, temperatures around about freezing but further south, it gets progressively warmer. the forecast is blustery today. we've got some showers after the rain in the west moves east and eventually clears. you can see we

you can see we have you can see we have two weather fronts coming our way. the first is bringing in that rain, some of it is heavyin bringing in that rain, some of it is heavy in northern ireland, western scotland, north—west england, wales and the south—west and it will all move east through the day. wherever you are, a cloudy start with some mist and fog. some of that will lift into low cloud, especially on the hills, but you'll notice it's much milder. yesterday we had temperatures below freezing in parts of the highlands, —3 in parts of aberdeenshire. today we could have 12 degrees higher. generally all in double figures. as we head through the evening and overnight, you will find as the rain clears, a drier interlude before the next band of rain comes in from the west. this is a potent area of low pressure coming our way. it means ahead of it with all the cloud, not a particularly cold night, but around aberdeenshire again, where the cloud remains broken, it could be three but most

will be looking at at least seven and into double figures. tomorrow this will bring heavy rain. you can see the curl across northern ireland and scotland, particularly western scotland, where once again we could see heavy rain and snow and that's half the story because wind will be the other half of it. could be blizzards in the hills and gusty winds in western scotland and also areas adjacent to the irish sea coastline. we could be looking at south ayrshire, south—west scotland as much as 80 mph, damaging gusts. that moves away through friday night into saturday. saturday we've got another system coming into the west and that will introduce some rain. it's the turn of south—west england to have potentially damaging wind gusts. we could have 55—60 mph, possibly higher, something to bear in mind. forthe possibly higher, something to bear in mind. for the next few days, we are going to get an unsettled period, but turning milder but then

it turns colder on sunday and into next week, with easterlies. some will see snow showers. showers? looks lovely. we will be back with you later. it was like takanori. it was. she will tell us a story later. yesterday at pulis and isjihad cinderella's story later. yesterday at pulis and is jihad cinderella's glass slipper, she was shoving her feet into it —— lenin palace she had. —— glen innes palace. let's take a look at today's front pages. concerns about how large companies use our data is the lead for several of the papers. the guardian claims leaked emails show facebook has been continuously uploading call and text logs from android phones. facebook says the documents had been presented in a very misleading manner.

there's also a photo of president trump, the obamas and the clintons at george bush senior‘s funeral in washington yesterday. the telegraph also features a photo from that service. the story below focuses on brexit. it says that if the pm goes ahead with the vote and loses, then brussels might come to her rescue and push back the official departure date. our political correspondent is looking at that too. meanwhile, the sun features comments from international trade secretary liam fox, who complains about conservative backbenchers who voted with labour to give the commons more control over the brexit process. and finally, the daily mail has been doing its own investigation into how it says personal data is harvested and traded by large multinationals. it's one of those issues we keep

coming back to. ben, we always come back to this. even what you've been talking about talking about huawei. in the ft this morning they're talking about we may know it as a handset maker along the lines of apple and samsung, it makes smart phones, but it does a lot of the back office staff, a lot of the technology that powers mobile networks. bt bought some of that technology to install in its network and it is now taking that our given there are concerns around the world about the power it gives the chinese firm and therefore the chinese government over our information and our data networks. a big backlash

against the firm and that could have against the firm and that could have a knock on effect. worth keeping an eye on that without a rest you've been reporting on this morning. mike? can i educate you on the southampton new manager. he is austrian. ralph hasenhuttll, he has been very successful at bringing on young players at rb leipzig. he is quite tall by all accounts. that is what i have heard. very like jurgen klopp in his expression and mannerisms. jurgen klopp, klopp in his expression and mannerisms. jurgen klopp, a klopp in his expression and mannerisms. jurgen klopp. a tall man. they know each other. he was asked in a press conference about the new appointment, he said he's very tall. you are more across it than me! ijust heard that. maybe i know more about ski kiting bears. it

affect you. this morning, our correspondent chris page is gauging reaction from the border of ireland and northern ireland. the backstop has been an issue. chris, you been gauging the action but also looking at how this will impact us and what the big debate over it is. that's right. this is len or stables. just about in the irish republic in county donegal but close to the land border with northern ireland. nobody wants any new checks on the border but there's less agreement about the agreement. 40 horses here, very popular, thousands visit every year. i'll speak to a few guests in a moment. first, i've been gauging opinion in the place just down the road from here, northern ireland's second city. londonderry was the crucible of the conflict and the cradle of the peace process. but more recently it's been the uk city of culture with a great

sense of creative momentum. the indie group via were riding the wave while rehearsing their new single in the nerve centre of brexit. we have grown up the nerve centre of brexit. we have grown up with checks but if it went back to that that wouldn't be very good, before our time in the seventies. i don't think anyone wa nts to seventies. i don't think anyone wants to go back there. if you're going through airport is or whatever and there's customs and stuff like that, and people have different passports... 0k, ok, apologies for the technical problems there. let's hear some more opinions from the people here at lenamore stables. you have opened up early, thanks very much. you're very welcome. good to be here. big week for brexit, what do you make of what is happening? 9096 of my clientele

disaster —— ferrie. it doesn't work for those who didn't vote for brexit and for those who did vote for brexit —— doire. they should say the deal we see going through parliament is not as good as the deal we have now and we should put it back to the people. thank you very much, doire and david. more from you through the morning but now time to hear the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm victoria hollins. st george's university hospital's nhs trust has been warned that its cardiac surgery unit in tooting must improve. the care quality commission launched an inspection after concerns about higher than average mortality rates and negative hospital culture. the report reveals that hostility between surgeons led to them needing to take part in mediation to try and resolve their issues. st george's hospital's foundation trust said cardiac surgery services had been found safe and that

in force as early as this month. the impact of theresa may's brexit deal on the economy will be debated by mps today, as the government continues its efforts to secure support for the agreement. downing street insists the deal would deliver an economic partnership with the eu closer than that of any other country. labour says, what's on offer will make people poorer. a major review of mental health laws in england and wales has found they're outdated, and that sectioning is being misused. an independent report, commissioned by the government, sets out more than 150 recommendations on how to improve mental health care, including investment for inpatient units and providing more care in the community. the chief financial officer of chinese technology giant, huawei, has been arrested in canada. meng wanzhou faces extradition to the us on suspicion she violated sanctions against iran.

china's embassy in canada protested at the arrest and demanded her release. huawei said it had little information about the charges and was "not aware of any wrongdoing by ms meng". the french government has dropped plans to raise fuel tax next year, after weeks of violent protests. the prime minister, edouard philippe, had previously said the changes would only be postponed for six months. four people died and several—hundred were injured during the unrest, which included some of the most violent demonstrations seen in paris for decades. an alarming proportion of adults in great britain, who are eligible to sit onjuries, remain confused about what constitutes rape, campaigners say. a third of people surveyed for the end violence against women coalition said there had to be physical violence for a rape to have taken place. the campaign group said the law is unequivocal but myths about rape are still very common. the cost of student accommodation has increased by more than a third since 2012, with the average annual

rent now exceeding £6,000, according to student housing charity, unipol. it also found that private landlords own half of all the rooms available to students across the uk. our consumer affairs correspondent, colletta smith reports. two students in leeds living very differently. flats in amy's block cost up to £450 a week. this is a king—sized bed, which is so nice to come home to, because when i come here ijust feel so comfortable, and i don't feel like i'm losing out on any of my home comforts, because i know a lot of accommodations have single beds. eleanor is paying a quarter of that. everything you need in here. bed, desk, plenty of storage space, and it's bigger than most uni rooms. i've got a make—up station and my desk area, with all the homely bits. this is where all the hard work happens, then. yes. half of all student accommodation

is now owned by private developers like naveen. i think the universities are really thinking they need to up their game or get out of it, basically. they're primarily about education. the housing is something that by default they sort of did. there have been big changes in standards in student digs, as well. the vast majority are now ensuite, with prices up 6% in university—owned halls in the last year alone. the average rent now eats up 73% of the full student loan, and the organisation which carried out the survey is worried lots of students will be priced out. there needs to be an expansion of accommodation in the middle market and at the lower end. so, you know, we need more premier inns and travelodges, rather than hiltons. whether by choice or necessity, students are splashing out more on a home away from home. coletta smith, bbc news, in leeds.

the festive song, ‘the 12 days of christmas' features plenty of bird reference... sing it. i am familiar with the song i don't think i could rattle it off straightaway. turtle doves, french hens, calling birds, even a partridge in a pear tree, penguins? they can't fly, so they wouldn't be able to get into the pear tree. well, an aviary park injapan's shimane prefecture has decided to get them involved by dressing them up in santa outfits. they're taken for walks around the grounds to spread holiday cheer among guests every day until the 25th of december. isa, wejust

where manchester united welcomed arsenal for what was a scrappy but entertaining 90 minutes. patrick gearey was watching. like many a night in manchester at this time of year, everyone finished up this time of year, everyone finished up drenched, drained and thoroughly entertained. this was at times a glorious mass. the tone set by arsenal's opening goal, which benefited from goalline technology and human error. jose mourinho had started without his two most expensive players, so a quick equaliser was crisis —— priceless. and the martial got it. as tyson fury knows, most action comes in the wa ke fury knows, most action comes in the wake rounds. alexandre lacazette went in there, a also modelled even the score was unclear. look away now, united came straight. this time arsenal do that, jesse lingard pounced. breathless. it was building

website and app. a couple of draws to focus on with leicester, fulham and newcastle. kilmarnock are top of the scottish premiership, after beating livingston. manager steve clarke says fans should be allowed to dream. that's after celtic, were held to a 1—1 draw away at motherwell, thanks to this late equaliser. rangers had been top going into last night, but they lost 1—0 to aberderden. ronnie o'sullivan says he turned down an offer to go on this year's i'm a celebrity get me out of here, so he could defend his uk championship title. and he's on course to do just that. he's through to the quarter finals in york, after beating his practice partnerjack lisowski on what was his 43rd birthday. just a nice meal. chill out, a few friends. good food and watching a bit ofjungle. would you be tempted?

yeah, definitely. when the time is right. how do you think he would get on? he would do all right. i tell you what, great experience, fantastic. not because of the way that he looks, i thought he was a lot older. just because he has his name that has been associated for years and yea rs. has been associated for years and years. i always get confused with peoples ages. don't go there. he said he definitely wants to go into thejungle. the olympic and world track cycling champion dani rowe has retired from the sport. she won gold in the team pursuit, with laura kenny and joanna rowsell shand at the london olympics in 2012. the 28—year—old, also won three world championship titles with the british team, before turning to road racing and says she'll stay in the sport in some capacity. now, have you ever received a facebook message from someone you don't know? what do you do, do you ignore it?

delete them. i normally respond. well, that's exactly what happened, to taunton titans, player aron struminski. except this message was from poland's national rugby coach, who had seen aron's surname, and wanted him to play for poland. he qualifies through his granddad, but hadn't even been to poland before his first training camp with the team. at first, i thought this can't be from real. ithought at first, i thought this can't be from real. i thought it was a bit of a hoax. but i did my research and he was who he said he was. initially, a lot of them didn't say a lot to me andi lot of them didn't say a lot to me and i had a little bit of panic. i spent the evening learning the basics of polish, hello, good lie and good morning and the next morning i went down and say good morning. there was a bit of shock at first, by the end of the week it turned out that they spoke very

good, fluent english. i was very honoured. ididn't i didn't know they had a rugby team! it goes to show, don't delete those people do try to befriend you. embraced! —— who try. —— embrace then! —— embrace them! if you have woken up to a strange message from o2, if you have woken up to a strange message from 02, a lot of people waking up with it. a lot of people do not have three g or 405, they can make voice calls but no data. just a word on that, we have been 5peaking to 02 word on that, we have been 5peaking to o2 ‘5 morning and tell us they are investigating report5 to o2 ‘5 morning and tell us they are investigating reports with i55ues are investigating reports with issues with their data network. if you have woken up this morning and your phone is not working, you are not alone. this affects the o2 network. is as voice calls are working but to use the internet and text or any messaging services, you may struggle. it also has a knock—on

effect for other parts of the economy. we are hearing from transport for london, who says that that foden —— phone network powers it stops to tell you when the next bus is coming. tho5e it stops to tell you when the next bus is coming. those are not working because the o2 bus is coming. those are not working because the 02 i5 bus is coming. those are not working because the 02 is down. we will keep an eye on that. but you are not alone this morning if you're 02 phone is not working. we will also get the latest fashion figures from ted baker in about 70 minutes time. all the attention will not be on the result5, all the attention will not be on the results, but how the company will investigate complaints over the conduct of its founder. both male and female employees have come forward to sign a petition complaining about his behaviour. shares in the company are down 25% since the allegations emerged last weekend. so what impact could it have on the firm? amna khan is a consumer behaviour and retail 5pecialist at manchester metropolitan university. she's with me now. nice to see you. is interesting when

we hear these stories, we see a direct impact on the share price. there is an issue when you get someone so there is an issue when you get someone so involved in the brand, like the boss of ted baker, and it goe5 like the boss of ted baker, and it goes wrong. how do they start to put this right? the first thing they need to do is to be seen to taking action, especially with the employees internally. the second thing they need to do is communicate that the staff will come forward and set up strategy that can deal with issues like this in the future. in to tell your external shareholders and customers, you need to make it publicly available that knowledge that you're making change. this is particularly important for a fashion retailer such as ted baker because of the changing dynamics of the market. disposable fashion, gives consumers are changing. online spending, online retailers with 20% of retail sales, that creates the more challenging and competitive market, so it makes it more difficult. these issues are all

coming together. also that point where somebody is so involved. it is maybe someone doing a bit of advertising or brand influence, they can move quietly away from that. but this is the boss. right, the issue here is that the boss represent brand and they are quite synonymous with each other. they represent the brand and he represent what it means. if you look at good example of brands that have awareness and association which are positive, unique and favourable. this situation is not favourable for the brand. a good example is richard branson and virgin. what we can see from other brands is that they use celebrity endorsements or influencing in marketing. they can quite easily detach the celebrity or the influence of the brand. you cannot in this situation. how do they start to put this right? will get the results at seven o'clock. that is one thing, but everybody will be looking at the investigation they expect to launch. had they put

this right so it doesn't affect 5ales this right so it doesn't affect sales for this crucial time of year! it's about communicating this change, a it's about communicating this change , a recovery it's about communicating this change, a recovery plan, managing the crisis as it is a crisis situation. they need to have a strategy in place but that is to be commuted internally so the staff feel like they are in a workplace in a place where they have some empathy and sympathy about what is going on. that needs to be content externally and that situation is to be re cove red. and that situation is to be recovered. thank you for your thoughts on all of that. we get tho5e thoughts on all of that. we get those results this morning. thank you, nice to see you. i will stay close to that 02 story and have more at seven o'clock. the second—biggest provider in the uk. we will keep an eye on that. if you are affected by it, let us know because this is led by consumers. we hear people saying there are problems and then we investigate. will find out what is going on. is 30 minutes to seven. good morning to you. sta ble5 can you imagine chri5tmas without the sound of carol5? this morning we're in yorkshire.

good morning. just coming through this lovely door. i want to show you it. look at the jaunty angle. i'm in castle howard and there's two schools of thought why it is so jaunty, one, the butler would come in and serve this direction, another is to keep out the draft. castle howard is celebrating 12 days of christmas and you might notice all the swans. seven you might notice all the swans. seve n swa n5 you might notice all the swans. seven swans are swimming, so where are they? the black swan here, and you can also see in the table we have one, two, three, four, five, the sixth is up there nesting and there's another lurking at the end. the other great thing about castle howard is it is nice and toasty with all the realfire. outside today, in the highlands, like yesterday, cold start, not as cold as yesterday but through the day for everyone it will be mild with most of us seeing

double figures. the forecast today is one of rain moving from the west to the east and as that clears, but idid to the east and as that clears, but i did there will be blustery showers. we've got weather fronts coming our way from the west, already introducing rain across parts of northern ireland, quite quickly clearing northern ireland actually and much of scotland, north—west england, wales and across the isles of scilly, clipping cornwall. through the day, all of that rain will continue to travel east, turning lighter and more patchy as it does. a lot of cloud around today and like yesterday for many, any patchy mist and fog will lift into low cloud and sit on the tops of the hills. temperature—wise, while we're looking easily at double figures for much of the land, huge contrast compared to the north of scotland yesterday where we have the sunshine. for you, temperatures will bea sunshine. for you, temperatures will be a good ten higher than yesterday. as we head on through the evening and overnight, we see the back edge of the rain clearing, that's what's left of it. a lot of cloud behind it

and a new system with low pressure from the west will introduce some rain with hail snow and the wind will pick up. another mild night, except aberdeenshire under clear skies, we could see lows of three but generally 7—11. tomorrow this rain quickly moves across england and wales, and it temperatures to linger in parts of scotland, especially the west, clipping northern ireland. it will produce snow, blizzards on the hills and mountains of scotland and a windy day, especially in western scotland, from ayrshire northwoods. gusts of 80 mph, possibly leading to destruction but generally a windy day, that's where the strongest winds will be —— disruption. that system clears away on saturday morning and then you will find we have another cloudy day with some bright spells, but more rain comes in from the west. this time it's the turn of south—west england to see

potentially disruptive gusts of wind. we could have gusts from 50—65 mph, so bear that in mind wind. we could have gusts from 50—65 mph, so bearthat in mind if wind. we could have gusts from 50—65 mph, so bear that in mind if you're travelling over the next couple of days. then it turns colder, and for some next week we're likely to season of showers. but at the moment it is lovely and toasty. thanks for showing us around the. beautifully decorated. an ambitious table! —— showing us around there. thanks, carol! during this year's football world cup, tv viewers were shown more than 90 minutes of gambling adverts. campaigners argued this could normalise betting and now the remote gambling association has agreed to stop these adverts during live sport broadcasts. our sports news correspondent, richard conway, joins us from our london newsroom. good morning. explain the significance of this step. the remote gambling association is a trade body made up of the biggest bookmakers, the biggest gambling firms in the uk, the likes of paddy

power, gala, skybet, they've been meeting in the past few days and i understand the outcomes of those extensive discussions about tv advertising, they've agreed a whistle to whistle ban. what that means is... it needs to be ratified, what it means is in 2019, we could see a period before the start of a football match, any live sport, with the exception of horse racing, but before the start of a match, defined period of ten to 15 minutes, no ads during the game, nothing at halftime and a buffer zone at the end of the match, maybe ten or 15 minutes where there will be no gambling advertising. a big step, a voluntary agreement, the big firms coming together to say we have to do something, we are listening to political pressure on this and the public and we're deciding to act now to make sure these tv ads aren't shown during live sport. you said many have signed up but unless all of them do, adverts could still be

on during live tv sporting occasions? i understand that all of the big tv advertising, all the companies that do advertise during live sport, are party to this agreement. it needs to be ratified by another industry body but that agreement is across the industry. it is pretty watertight and it's a big step because of the political pressure. the labour party had a review on this mcveigh had a raft of measures and this was one of the things they wanted to see, this whistle to whistle ban introduced —— on this and they had a raft. and 0, richard. —— thank you, richard. elvis, aretha franklin and the beach boys have all had the royal philharmonic treatment. now the carpenters have had some of their biggest hits re—worked with the orchestra 35 years after karen carpenter's death. her brother richard worked on the new album which was made in her memory and recorded at abbey road studios. peter bowes went to meet him at his home in los angeles. hipster once again with just piano

and karen, so... —— it starts again with just piano and karen, and karen, so... —— it starts again withjust piano and karen, so... then the vibe comes and then karen just... # why do birds suddenly appear? the song that started it all. everytime you are near. the rest is history. rainy days and mondays always get me down. on top of the world, looking down on creation... richard and karen carpenter had hit after hit in the 705 but their career was cut short when karen died in 1983. she had the eating disorder anorexia nervosa. she was only 32 when she passed

away. heck, she wasjust she was only 32 when she passed away. heck, she was just maturing. she was only 32 when she passed away. heck, she wasjust maturing. i try not to at times think of all the different things that we could have done. i'll hear a certain song or an old song and think, heck, if we'd only just old song and think, heck, if we'd onlyjust done this, just for fun, you know? but, you know, didn't know and that's just the way it is. you know? but, you know, didn't know and that'sjust the way it is. now for decades on from their heyday, richard carpenter has rearranged some of the duo's biggest hits. it's the latest project for the royal philemon at orchestra, putting a different spin on... for the first time working closely with one of the original artists. there are certain things i heard through the years as i listened to our old songs every now and again and i think, boy, i'd like to have another crack at that. to record at the abbey road studios. of course, i'd worked there once

before, and it was a treat to work there again. it's quite an experience to step up and work in front of a group that big. for richard carpenter, it was an emotionaljourney, reliving those heady days when he and karen took the world by storm. now there's a new 18 track album to showcase this sister's extraordinary voice. follow you allaround... this project is something different in deed and it's more than i ever expected it to be. the result is something i'm terribly proud of for my sister and for me. and yes, we've just begun... the evergreen appeal of the carpenters... peter bowes,

bbc news, los angeles. don't mind having any of those songs in my head all morning. absolutely, and the orchestral thing with carpenters music, you know for certain it's going to work. it's going to work! we'll be back with the headlines at 7am. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm victoria hollins. st george's university hospital's nhs trust has been warned that its cardiac surgery unit in tooting must improve. the care quality commission launched an inspection after concerns about higher than average mortality rates and negative hospital culture. the report reveals that hostility between surgeons led to them needing to take part in mediation to try and resolve their issues. st george's hospital foundation trust said cardiac surgery services had been found safe and that significant progress has been made since the inspection. the grenfell tower disaster has fundamentally changed

the capital's firefighters, according one of the brigades senior officers. assistant commissioner richard mills said staff have experienced self—doubt over whether they could have done more. firefighters have also been telling the public inquiry into the fire that killed 72 people lastjune how the brigade has been supporting its staff, since the tragedy. have you ever wondered what gets left behind when a family leaves their home? one ex—council flat inspector has turned his hand to photography to document some of the more surprising and emotional things he came across. there's this lurid pink embossed wallpaper with a small rip in the wallpaper. someone had just written "i love you." who's that person? who loved who? you never knew what you were going to get when you went through the front door.

my photographer's brain, thinking, "what's in there? what am i about to see?" let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tube this morning. on the roads, westbound traffic on the a13 is building heading out of dagenham into barking. in chelsea, the royal hospital road remains closed northbound from the junction with chelsea embankment to tite st for emergency gas works. heading towards the m25, traffic on the a2 is building from the cobham services towards the bean interchange for bluewater. now the weather, with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. once again it's a very mild start to the day for this time of year with temperatures in double figures. not a bad day weather today, we should stay mostly dry during the daylight hours but there will be some patchy rain around at times through the afternoon with heavy rain through the night tonight. staying mild through the day, quite breezy and an awful lot of cloud around as well. perhaps some early brightness forming. then the cloud will start to thicken through morning and we'll keep that

thick cloud through much of the rest of the day. a few outbreaks of patchy light rain and resolved through the second half of the date, temperatures peaking at 14 or 15 degrees celsius with a fairly brisk south—westerly wind too. now, we should get away with a mostly dry early evening rush—hour, but there'll be lots of cloud around. some dribs and drabs of rain through the overnight period and into the small hours of tomorrow morning. that rain threatens to turn heavy as we head into tomorrow morning's rush—hour. but another mild night to come, ending on around 11 or 12 celsius. so wet and windy first thing tomorrow, that early rain clearing to leave us with a breezy day with sunny spells and some showers. windy again on saturday and then turning cooler on the weekend and into next week. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: an end to tv gambling adverts during live sporting events. britain's leading betting firms sign up. data issues with o2.

our top story — britain's top gambling companies have voluntarily agreed to stop advertising during live sporting broadcasts. the remote gambling association, which includes the likes of bet365, ladbrokes and paddy power, came under political pressure over how much betting advertising is on television. our sports news correspondent, richard conway reports. for many years, gambling companies have insisted that sport matters more if there's money on it. tv ads have encouraged viewers to bet before, during and after games. but now the uk's leading betting firms have voluntarily agreed a whistle—to—whistle tv advertising ban. it follows political pressure at how much betting advertising is on tv. more than 90 minutes of adverts were shown in the football world cup this summer and anti—gambling campaigners say sports' use of adverts normalises betting. now, following extensive talks, uk companies have agreed no adverts will be broadcast for a defined period before and after a game is broadcast.

horseracing will be exempt, but all other sports will be included. final ratification is still needed before the ban comes into force, but that should be a formality — according to industry insiders, it could come as early as this month. richard conway, bbc news. mobile phone network, 02, is investigating reports of issues when using data. ben is here to tell us more. a lot of people waking up this morning finding that unless they are on the wi—fi at home or at the office, their phone will not access the internet. three g and 40 services on the o2 the internet. three g and 40 services on the 02 network are down. isa services on the 02 network are down. is a huge problem because 02 is the second largest network in the country behind eee. bigger than vodafone. it has got about 25

million of its own customers and it also runs a network for a whole host of other brands, including sky mobile, tesco mobile. if you throw the whole lot together, they have got over 32 million users. clearly a big outage and they say they are investigating this bold. people are trying to access the network and it is not there? it means when you get your phone and get a logo saying whether you have three g or four g access, whether you have three g or four g access , accessing whether you have three g or four g access, accessing e—mails and all that sort of thing, not working u nless that sort of thing, not working unless you are at home or the office and have wi—fi. you can still also make voice calls, it is just that access to data that is currently not working. we have heard reports this morning, customers across the country, not limited to one area. it also has surprising knock—on effects that you might not think. transport for london, the transport authority in the capital, telling us that all

of its bus stops that have signs telling you when the next bus is due, those are powered by the o2 telling you when the next bus is due, those are powered by the 02 net work as well. those are not working either. you get a sense of how much impact this could have on our day—to—day lives. people trying to get to work, we do so much on the mobile, not working unless you are connected. ironically, my phone is on o2 connected. ironically, my phone is on 02 as well. it has got wi—fi. connected. ironically, my phone is on 02 as well. it has got wi-fi. we will keep tabs on it because presumably they are trying to fix things quickly. they have an update on their website. they told us they will let us know as soon as that changes but at the moment, still not working. engineers are on the case. five minutes past seven. the impact of theresa may's brexit deal on the economy will be debated by mp5 today, as the government continues its efforts to secure support for the agreement. downing street insists the deal would deliver an economic partnership with the eu, closer than that of any other country. labour says, what's on offer will make people poorer. our political correspondent, jonathan blake is in westminster. very good morning to you jonathan.

it has been so eventful so far this week. the attention today very much on the economy. that's right. the chancellor philip hammond will open day three of this marathon session parliamentary debate over the prime minister '5 exit plan. he will talk about the deal being one that protects jobs in the about the deal being one that protectsjobs in the uk about the deal being one that protects jobs in the uk that allows businesses to flourish, also giving the uka businesses to flourish, also giving the uk a close working relationship with the eu in the future. i think we can expect some fiery exchanges because as we know, the economy and potential impact of any brexit on the economy has been one of the most contentious areas of the hybrids —— the whole brexit debate. meanwhile, the whole brexit debate. meanwhile, the attempts by the government to bring mp5 on board, to twist our arms and talk them around into supporting the deal continue. last night, the chief whip in charge of parliamentary discipline in the

conservative party, a toughjob parliamentary discipline in the conservative party, a tough job at the moment, went to meet groups of a member of mp5 who are staunchly in favour of brexit but are against the deal. later, senior politicians from all across the house are invited to briefings to the cabinet office of the impact of no deal. that has not borne down well with some. a late invitation yesterday seen as an attempt to spook party grandees into supporting the deal. then you have the prime minister herself appealing to mp5 to come on—board and tobacco brexit deal as the only real of guaranteeing that brexit will happened. i think what is clear is that with five days to go and tell that with five days to go and tell that key vote in the house of commons, they are trying everything they can. at the moment, thank you. a major review of mental health laws in england and wales has found they're outdated and that sectioning is being misused. an independent report, commissioned by the government, says police cells should no longer be used, and patients shouldn't be taken for treatment in police cars. our health correspondent james gallagher has more.

georgie lopez was 16 when she was sectioned because of an eating disorder. she was detained for four and a half years. the mental health act is used to care for people when they pose a risk of causing harm to themselves or others, and it gives doctors control over their patients treatment. at times, georgie was restrained and fed through a tube. she says she had a very mixed experience. there's nothing as terrifying as being pinned down by several, often unfamiliar males and injected, to pass out and later wake up having no idea what has happened. the new recommendations include giving patients more rights over treatment. steps to reduce the disproportionate detention of people from ethnic minorities. and an end to people being held in police cells, rather than hospitals. our review is trying to bring the mental health act up to the modern age. an act which does, of course, invovle some element of compulsion, we cannot deny that, but that must be reduced to the least possible and we should

put more emphasis on the rights that people have, even when they are detained. georgie welcomes the review‘s recommendations, which will now be considered by government, ahead of plans to change that the law next year. james gallagher, bbc news. the french government has dropped plans to raise fuel tax next year, after weeks of violent protests. the prime minister, edouard philippe, had previously said the changes would only be postponed for six months. four people died and several—hundred were injured during the unrest, which included some of the most violent demonstrations seen in paris for decades. the chief financial officer of chinese technology giant huawei, has been arrested in canada. meng wanzhou faces extradition to the us on suspicion she violated sanctions against iran. china's embassy in canada protested at the arrest and demanded her release. huawei said it had little information about the charges and was "not aware of any wrongdoing by ms meng".

the body of the former us president, george bush senior has been flown to texas, following his state funeral. he will lie at the church where the bush family have worshipped for decades, before a burial next to his wife barbara, who died earlier this year. his memorial service in washington, was attended by five former presidents, including his son george w bush, who paid an emotional tribute. to us, he was close to perfect. but not totally perfect. his short game was lousy. laughter. he wasn't exactly fred astaire on the dance floor. laughter. the man couldn't stomach vegetables. especially broccoli. laguhter. and by the way, he passed these genetic defects along to us. so through our tears, let us know the blessings of knowing and loving you — a great and noble man.

the best father a son or daughter could have had. that was george w bush talking about his father. the burial taking place today. it is 11 minutes past seven. social media has been looking at itself. twitter has released the uk's top 10 "most liked" tweets of the year. here's a selection of some of the ones which struck a chord with social network users. us popstar ariana grande's emotional tweet remembering the victim's of the manchester arena bomb, was shared around the world. she wrote "thinking of you all today and everyday". you'll remember friends star david schwimmer‘s uncanny resemblance to a man wanted for shoplifting in blackpool. his response, "officers, i swear it wasn't me!" has been liked more than 644,000 times.

then there's england star, harry maguire's picture tweet with the words, "can you ask the neighbours to put the bins out on monday? we're not going home just yet", as the team continued their winning success at the world cup in moscow. the time is 12 minutes past seven. we will have all of the weather for you, coming up. mike has the sport as you, coming up. mike has the sport as well, coming up later on. almost a quarter of people don't think sex without consent in long—term relationships is rape, that's according to a survey by the end violence against women coalition. the campaign group says despite a huge increase in the number of women reporting rape, the number of cases being taken to court has fallen. rachel krys, co—director of end violence against women coalition, joins us now from westminster. thank you very much for talking to us thank you very much for talking to us this morning. can you start by telling me how many people you survey it and the demographic of the people you survey it, so we get an

idea of who is responding and how? we spoke to almost 4000 people across england, wales and scotland. a representative sample of the great britain population. we get a real idea of what attitudes are to end violence against women coalition —— rape, the law, so we can better understand what is getting in the way ofjustice. understand what is getting in the way of justice. what understand what is getting in the way ofjustice. what struck him most when it came to the difference, the different sections of society, age groups and attitudes towards rape? we were struck, it was just a big group of people, 30% who really do not understand particularly sex without consent, the most common form of rape. rape between two people who know each other. that is the most common. they don't understand that to be rape. got some worrying statistics that might be generational, older people not

understanding that sex without consent within relationships and marriages is rape. we have had laws outlawing rape in marriage as 1991, but clearly there is a wag in the public understanding. —— lag. we were talking particularly about rape ina we were talking particularly about rape in a long—term relationship and that idea of consent, but we also said that more people are reporting rape, yet the number of cases going to court being heard is not reflected in that. why do you think that is? there has been a massive increase in reporting, plus chile had 43,000 reports of rape to the police, up massively in the last five years and yet fewer people in the last year were charged for rape. there has been an increase in metoo too, understanding that we all need

too, understanding that we all need to catch up a bit because the system has problems. clearly a lot of these attitudes will be found on juries and with the policymakers making the rules and laws around rape. so we really need to have a proper end to end review of what is happening. what is putting off some women coming forward and disclosing in the first place, what is getting in the way of really good services that meet the needs of women when they are raped and why are we not getting better justice outcomes are raped and why are we not getting betterjustice outcomes when more and more people are coming forward asking for help. what about the system after the rape has been reported and whether or not the conviction has been made, in terms of counselling and support after a conviction, how is that? that is absolutely important and we are seeing a reduction in the availability of services copied crisis centres have had to close their waiting list because they have seen a their waiting list because they have seen a massive rise in demand for services, at the same time it is a real struggle to get funding. this isa real struggle to get funding. this is a real crisis we are facing

because as we know, when women get specialist help and support, they can specialist help and support, they ca n recover specialist help and support, they can recover quickly and get the counselling when they need it and how they needed. also need to look at the people who go forward and talk to the police, what is happening to them. is very difficult to port this to the police, it can feel real invasion of privacy and you can feel like you as a bit could be on trial yourself. that is wrong, that has to change and we have to make sure that victims get a proper representation and support that they need when they need it and forest, as need when they need it and forest, as they needed. —— need it. need when they need it and forest, as they needed. -- need it. thank you very much look talking to us this morning. the time now is 60 minutes past seven. you may or may not know this, but carol is a very private person, which led me to be quite surprised that she would allow us quite surprised that she would allow us into her front quite surprised that she would allow us into herfront room quite surprised that she would allow us into her front room this quite surprised that she would allow us into herfront room this morning to do the weather. i feel like i am intruding on a private space but it isa intruding on a private space but it is a lovely place. thank you very

much, charlie. only because it you otherwise this wouldn't be happening! castle howard is mine and i love it dearly! i hope the owner's not listening! i'm in the turquoise drawing—room, lovely! look at the colours, the peacocks on either side, the colours with the garland and the mantelpiece and the baubles, i wish my house looks like —— looked like this! when i do it at home it looks like an explosion! because either christmas tree with the feathers, the wig on the cow. which day are we on? there's a clue, eight maids are milking. lovely here. fairly cloudy this morning. rain coming in from the west. moving east and behind it, the forecast for most will be a day of blustery showers. a couple of weather fronts coming

our way, that's what's producing the rain. as it drifts from the west to the east, it will turn lighter and more patchy. we've got patchy mist and fog around and first thing this morning you will find that will lift but a lot of it will lift into low cloud and tend to hang around the hills and higher ground generally. temperature—wise, everyone will be in double figures today. yesterday, temperatures around aberdeenshire we re temperatures around aberdeenshire were —2 or —3, today they're more likely to be ten, 11 or 12 so a big difference, but most will be between 10-14. as difference, but most will be between 10—14. as we head through the evening and overnight, we lose the rain completely, it dries up for a time, afair rain completely, it dries up for a time, a fair bit of cloud around. not a cold night, except where the cloud is broken and in aberdeenshire it could fall to three. then the next area of low pressure coming our way from the atlantic and that will bring rain and strengthening winds. if we pick that up from tomorrow morning, it rattles quickly from the

west to the east, across england and wales, leaving you with blustery showers. for northern ireland, the north of northern ireland might hang on to some of this rain but for scotland, you will have the rain, especially in the north and west with snow on the hills and blizzards because wind is the other half of the story. windy wherever you are tomorrow with the strongest gusts of wind in ayrshire northwards in the west of scotland, disruptive gusts up west of scotland, disruptive gusts up to 80 mph. heading into saturday, we lose the remnants of that area of low pressure but you will find another system coming into the west will bring more rain. another u nsettled will bring more rain. another unsettled day on saturday and this time it's the turn of the south—west of england to see potentially disruptive gusts of wind. we could have between 50—65 mph. on sunday, it turns colder, leading us into a cold week with some seeing wintry showers. from my humble abode, charlie and naga, back to you in the

studio. lovely, like the self—portrait behind you, the lady in the van, looks uncannily like you, have you seen? -- lady in the hat. about the same age! a summertime shot when she was younger. exactly! you have left yourself a lot of dusting to do with the way you have decorated, that will keep you very busy over christmas! plenty of further dusters over there. she always comes prepared, carol! that is an interesting way to decorate a tree, definitely! we will be back with carol later in the programme. we are trying to take you through brexit. we are trying to figure out what's going on leading up to the debate and the vote on tuesday. this morning, our correspondent chris page is gauging reaction from the border of ireland and northern ireland. you are looking at the backstop,

this has become a key issue. you're looking at how people are feeling about this? that's right to. this is lenamore stables, we're just about in the irish republic —— that's right. we're about a mile from the border with northern ireland, which has become a big issue in the brexit negotiations. there's disagreement about the fact there shouldn't be any new checks on the irish border under any circumstances —— agreement. people disagree on how that should be achieved. we've heard plenty of opinions and we will hear from guests in a moment. i've been gauging the mood in northern ireland's second city, just down the road. londonderry was the crucible of the conflict and the cradle of the peace process. but more recently it's been the uk city of culture with a great sense of creative momentum. the indie group cherrum arriving that wave. they're rehearsing their new single and they hope brexit doesn't disrupt their rhythm of touring. we've grown up in a world

where there was no checkpoints and stuff. if that was to go back to that, we would be reverting ourselves back to a situation before ourselves back to a situation before ourtime, the ourselves back to a situation before our time, the 70s and stuff. i don't think anyone wants to go back there. if you're going through airports and whatever and there's customs and stuff, if people have different passports and whatever, it's going to bea passports and whatever, it's going to be a bit ofa passports and whatever, it's going to be a bit of a hassle. so hammer, lauren and ivy want travelled to remain smooth, efficient and orderly. the mood is more serena over at the derry yoga and pilates centre. beautiful. but people here don't feel calm when they talk about brexit. it's really frightening looking forward for me and my grandchildren. i think a no deal would be a complete disaster. having lived through the troubles first time around, would be very concerned about what would happen with the border. probably the best brexit

would be the deal theresa may at moment is offering, but it would be nice to let the people decide. but what do those who voted to leave the eu make of the prime minister basque brexit plan? taking back the border is good stuff. does it deliver brexit properly? i don't think so. brexit properly? i don't think so. brexit is a good thing? yes, get out. a good deal? no, hard brexit. this is a city transformed but no one is sure what changes brexit will bring. we're going to hear more thoughts now from my guess at lammermoor sta bles. now from my guess at lammermoor stables. you live locally but you are from pollen, what do you think of what's going on in the brexit process “— of what's going on in the brexit process —— pollen. of what's going on in the brexit process -- pollen. we don't know what the deal means, too much uncertainty. every household, my household, would be looking into whether i'm going to be better off or worse off, whether i am going to be able to go on holiday abroad, am

i going to need a visa? this hasn't been settled in the deal. we don't know how everyday life is going to be influenced by the deal. everybody‘s only talking economics, politics, business, but what about common people? we still don't know how their lives are going to be affected by the deal. you have concerns. we can speak to robert, you voted to leave the european union on your a localfarmer, what do you think of where we're at?|j voted to leave because i think the common agricultural policy is no longer delivering and i see this as a chance to deliver a new policy thatis a chance to deliver a new policy that is fit for purpose. i think government departments are doing that. they've issued consultations, all the regions have issued consultations in the last few months. i think there's a real desire now to build a sustainable, profitable policy that is fit for purpose. the deal before parliament next week, should mp5 vote it

through or turn it down? it's too early to say. it's not looking great at the moment but we're at the beginning of the negotiation. if you're buying a house, you don't acce pt you're buying a house, you don't accept the first of you're given, or accept the first of you're given, or a car. there's a bit to run on this yet. thanks very much. we're also going to hearfrom david and doira. you voted to leave, what do you make of the deal theresa may has negotiated? it's not a deal, it is a staging post towards an agreement of a future relationship. it's only a step, not the end product. we've got a long way to go but the one thing we have for certain is we're leaving on the 29th of march and that should focus everybody‘s mines, we're leaving. the country is good enough and big enough and the people are good enough to make that work. doire, you voted differently in 2016 to david, you wanted to stay in the eu, a good deal or a bad deal? we're

seeing a deal that is massively uncertain. people who voted to leave don't like the deal and people who voted to remain don't like the deal. asa voted to remain don't like the deal. as a young person in the uk don't think any of us should be used as collateral. we should... we deserve a future that is bright and for young people in northern ireland, we don't know if that's going to happen so don't know if that's going to happen so it's unacceptable. thanks. brexit provoking different opinions, including on the irish border. we will be live here later on in the programme but now, time for the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm victoria hollins. st george's university hospital's nhs trust has been warned that its cardiac surgery unit in tooting must improve. the care quality commission launched an inspection after concerns about higher than average mortality rates and negative hospital culture. the report reveals that hostility between surgeons led to them needing to take part in mediation to try and resolve their issues. st george's hospital foundation trust said cardiac surgery services had been found safe and that

significant progress has been made since the inspection. the grenfell tower disaster has fundamentally changed the capital's firefighters, according one of the brigades senior officers. assistant commissioner richard mills said staff have experienced self—doubt over whether they could have done more. firefighters have also been telling the public inquiry into the fire that killed 72 people lastjune how the brigade has been supporting its staff, since the tragedy. have you ever wondered what gets left behind when a family leaves their home? one ex—council flat inspector has turned his hand to photography to document some of the more surprising and emotional things he came across. there's this lurid pink embossed wallpaper with a small rip in the wallpaper. someone had just written "i love you." who's that person? who loved who? you never knew what you were going to get when you went through the front door. my photographer's brain, thinking, "what's in there? what am i about to see?"

let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tube this morning. on the roads, northbound traffic on the blackwall tunnel southern approach is slow from the woolwich rd flyover. there are northbound delays at the rotherhithe tunnel following a breakdown which is partly blocking the carriageway. heading into vauxhall cross, northbound traffic on the harleyford rd is slow from kennington oval following a collision to the south of the sth lambeth rd lights. now the weather, with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. once again it's a very mild start to the day for this time of year with temperatures in double figures. not a bad day weather today, we should stay mostly dry during the daylight hours but there will be some patchy rain around at times through the afternoon with heavy rain through the night tonight. staying mild through the day, quite breezy and an awful lot of cloud around as well. perhaps some early brightness forming. then the cloud will start to thicken

through morning and we'll keep that thick cloud through much of the rest of the day. a few outbreaks of patchy light rain and resolved through the second half of the date, temperatures peaking at 14 or 15 degrees celsius with a fairly brisk south—westerly wind too. now, we should get away with a mostly dry early evening rush—hour, but there'll be lots of cloud around. some dribs and drabs of rain through the overnight period and into the small hours of tomorrow morning. that rain threatens to turn heavy as we head into tomorrow morning's rush—hour. but another mild night to come, ending on around 11 or 12 celsius. so wet and windy first thing tomorrow, that early rain clearing to leave us with a breezy day with sunny spells and some showers. windy again on saturday and then turning cooler on the weekend and into next week. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now.

hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. just coming up to 730 a.m.. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. britain's top gambling companies have voluntarily agreed to stop advertising during live sporting broadcasts. the remote gambling association, which includes bet365, ladbrokes and paddy power, came under political pressure over how much betting advertising is on television. it's believed the ban could be in force as early as this month. mobile phone operator, o2, says it's investigating a failure on its data network. customers have reported being unable to access the internet or services that use mobile data. the company says technical teams are looking into the problem but voice calls are unaffected. the issue is also affecting customers of tesco mobile, giffgaff, sky mobile and lyca mobile which all use the 02 network. the impact of theresa may's brexit deal on the economy will be debated by mp5 today, as the government continues its efforts to secure support for the agreement. downing street insists the deal would deliver an economic

meng wanzhou faces extradition to the us on suspicion she violated sanctions against iran. let's speak to our china correspondent robin brant, who's in shanghai. take us through the sequence of events. this is a big deal with china's biggest telecom company, also wants to be a big player in rolling out five g in the uk. is crucial because it will be crucial for things like driverless cars and getting yourfridge to for things like driverless cars and getting your fridge to order your milk in the future. some countries are suspicious about huawei and its links with the chinese government. there is pressure on the uk to decide whether a broker will play a big role in the future of ig or not. huawei, arrested in canada on the request of the us authorities, under suspicion of breaching sanctions against iran that are in place in united state. she is corporate

realty, the daughter of the man who founded the company 30 years ago. he has close links with china's ruling communist party. the company is privately owned but there has long been suspicion about links with the chinese government here. all of this comes as chinese government here. all of this comes as the trade war between the us and china possibly could escalate further, come march next year. this move, it is a very aggressive one by the american authorities, notjust about a person or company, sending a strong signalfrom about a person or company, sending a strong signal from washington to china at the height of this trade walk at the us is no longer to tolerate what it sees as breaches of these sanctions in late. —— in place. a search and rescue operation is underway for the crew of two

funny night at old trafford, in fa ct, funny night at old trafford, in fact, right across the premier league. drama all around. on a dramatic night in the premier league, loads of goals and incident, not least at old trafford, where manchester united welcomed arsenal for what was a scrappy but entertaining 90 minutes. patrick gearey was watching. like many a night in manchester at this time of year, everyone finished up drenched, drained and thoroughly entertained. this was at times a glorious mess. the tone set by arsenal's opening goal, which benefited from goalline technology and human error. jose mourinho had started without his two most expensive players, so a quick equaliser was priceless. martial got it. as tyson fury knows, most action comes in the late rounds. alexandre lacazette went in there, a goal so muddled even the scorer was unclear.

look away now, united came straight. this time arsenal do that, jesse lingard pounced. breathless. it was building to a chaotic conclusion. in a few seconds, david de gea saved united, then the assistant saved them again. hardly planned and with some embarrassing moments, like all the best evenings out. liverpool kept up the pressure on leaders manchester city with a 3—1win over struggling burnley. jurgen klopp made loads of changes to his side, a decision that almost backfired when they went behind. but they fought back — with zerdan shaquiri, scoring the third. the result of the night though was at molineux as wolves beat chelsea. wolves hadn't won in seven going, into this one, but played brilliantly to win 2—1. it's chelsea's second defeat in a row away from home, and they're now 10 points behind leaders manchester city. and southampton's new boss, ralf hasenhuttl was in the stands for their match with spurs, and there's plenty for him to work on. southampton, lost 3—1, at wembley, harry kane on the scoresheet again.

the rest of the night's results, and reaction, on the bbc sport website and app. kilmarnock are top of the scottish premiership after beating livingston, and manager steve clarke says fans should be allowed to dream. that's after celtic were held to a 1—1 draw away at motherwell thanks to this late equaliser. rangers had been top going into last night, but they lost 1—0 to aberderden. ronnie o'sullivan, says he turned down an offer to go on this year's i'm a celebrity get me out of here, so he could defend his uk championship title. and he's on course to do just that. he's through to the quarter finals in york, after beating his practice partnerjack lisowski on what was his 43rd birthday. just a nice meal.

chill out, a few friends. good food and watching a bit ofjungle. would you be tempted? yeah, definitely. when the time is right. how do you think he would get on? he would do all right. i tell you what, great experience, fantastic. earlier he was saying you can't believe how he is 43 when you consider how long he has been in the sport. professional in 1992. he did start playing when he was seven. he was 17. and they can play on longer than most sports. it is the mind that you need to keep active. he is still quite young. a long way to go for the goes into the jungle. the olympic and world track cycling champion, dani rowe has retired from the sport. she won gold in the team pursuit, with laura kenny and joanna rowsell shand, at the london olympics in 2012. the 28—year—old also won three world championship titles, with the british team, before turning to road racing, and says she'll stay in the sport in some capacity. now, have you ever received

a facebook message, from someone you don't know? well, that's exactly what happened, to taunton titans, player aron struminski. except this message, was from poland's national rugby coach, who had seen aron's surname, and wanted him to play for poland. he qualifies through his grand—dad, but hadn't even been to poland before his first training camp with the team. at first, i thought this can't be for real. i thought it was a bit of a hoax. but i did my research and he was who he said he was. initially, a lot of them didn't say a lot to me and i had a little bit of panic.

i spent the evening learning the basics of polish, hello, goodbye and good morning and the next morning i went down and say good morning. there was a bit of shock at first, by the end of the week it turned out that they spoke very good, fluent english. i felt very honoured. so out of the blue, he is international. just because of his name on social media, the coach thought i would be friendly and he can play for the national team. and he did! two things i have let there, perhaps be open—minded and whole and has a rugby team. absolutely! you never know where it will lead to. when you think of universities is think they are going to be hot heads of creativity. perhaps it will surprise you that some of the world ‘s most incredible discoveries were made at university in the uk. the university of nottingham is responsible for inventing the mri scanner. the structure of dna was discovered at the university of cambridge. penicillin was the discovery

of the universities of oxford and sheffield. and the university of manchester is credited with inventing the world's first computer. alistairjarvis, chief executive of universities uk and aravind vijayaragavan from the university of manchester are here tell us about a new campaign to celebrate how these inventions and discoveries have transformed our everyday lives. tell us about your invention because sometimes it is usefuljust to see it being. what have you come up with? we have developed a new rubber compound which has graphing in it. —— graphene. robber is used in all sorts of things in everyday life, but a common problem with it is that it is difficult to get a soft rubber which is also durable. where are we going to see this creation of yours? the

first product we have actually launched with this new rubber compound is a training shoe where the rubber is use on the outsole. why is that good? is a special shoe for something used like fell running, we need to have good grip on tough grain. at the same time these runners run for hundreds of metres at a time, so it needs to last without losing the grip. the new rubber is able to deliver that hoppe i will feel this because it is quite hard. it is a very durable rubber, but when you have the impact on the rocks and things like that, it deforms and grips the touraine very well, so you can run over really tough terrain up and down hills without actually slipping and falling or hurting yourself. this is one thing being invented, why are we celebrating uk universities doing this because you kind of thing, go to university and you should be

thinking, shouldn't you? universities are transforming lives all around the world, all over the country. earlier in the year we asked the public what do they think of them? we were surprised. firstly, they were proud. they didn't really know much about what universities do. they thought of them as being big schools teaching students. they didn't understand the real impact universities have on people 's lives. we are watching the made in university campaign, show customers —— showcasing the fantastic things that they are doing and how they affect people up and down the country. you feel like this is getting forgotten? we often hear stories about funding and student grants. all issues around money. you think the innovation and the work thatis think the innovation and the work that is done is lost in the mix? that is right. what the public said is that they are proud but they want to know more. they want to know more about inventions, discoveries and also they are helping society. what we have launched is a list of over

100 of the best rate through. you mentioned penicillin, mri scanners. also technological and events is. those of you watching busy practice, the television was developed by a uk development dashed off a golf —— uk university. if you are watching on a smartphone, you can download data fa st smartphone, you can download data fast because of universities. they are very science fast because of universities. they are very science —based. when you are very science —based. when you are at university, were you given the time to develop something like this? different people have different functions. some of my duties involve teaching and i have other responsibilities around research and development. some academics to work on fundamental research which will have an impact maybe 20, 50 years down the line, there are other academics working on more implied research which has

short—term impact. more implied research which has short-term impact. everything is brexit related at the moment, research is expensive. it is time and that equates to money. i universities brexit proof? universities are really concerned about brexit. we rely on attracting the breast brains from across the world and in fact, if you look across europe, there is a real danger that may create barriers. do you see an exodus of reigns out of uk universities? we are starting to see some people leave. the government has got to get the immigration right and make sure you can continue to attract the best brains from across europe and the world. that the students and staff. you mentioned the creative side a moment ago. universities are fantastic at arts and social sciences and there are lots of examples of how they are helping communities, sporting projects, cultural projects. the living wage was something developed by universities. thank you for coming

in and good luck with your product, see how it works out. who else to get you in the christmas mood, if you need to be, than carol. she's going to tell us stories around the fire, show us round. this looks modern? it does indeed. carols with carol has a nice ring with it. maps with matt next, i'll tell you that! this is the long gallery, the 12th night party and this brings together the 12 the 12 nights of christmas we re the 12 the 12 nights of christmas were castle howard this morning is celebrating. we have the drummers drumming, the lords leaping, the ladies dancing and it's nice being inside because for some, a chilly start to the date. today we've got a weather front from the west producing rain, moving to the west producing rain, moving to the east, turning light and patchy as the east, turning light and patchy as it does and behind it, some

blustery showers. you can see on the pressure chart where we have the two weather fronts. the rain pressure chart where we have the two weatherfronts. the rain is already out of northern ireland but very much across scotland, parts of north—west england, wales and the south—west and through the day as it continues to go east, the rain will and more patchy in nature but before it advances to the east, there's lots of cloud around this morning and a lot of patchy mist and fog, which will only lift into low cloud. that will be hanging around the hills and generally over higher ground. as the rain clears to the east, behind it we're looking at blustery showers and temperature—wise, temperatures where they were so low yesterday in the north picking up, so everyone in double figures. through this evening and overnight, we lose the rain completely, drying out for a time and then low pressure comes in from the west and that will produce again a lot of rain, some hill snow and the wind will also pick up. not going to be a cold night but around aberdeenshire it will be three

degrees under clear skies. this area of low pressure tomorrow moves swiftly across england and wales, taking the rain with it and for you, blustery showers. for scotland and northern ireland, you can caa curl of rain and snow on the hills and it will be windy —— caa curl. we could have gusts of 80 mph. those are potentially disruptive and damaging gusts. wherever you are tomorrow, it will be windy and you will notice it. that clears on saturday but another area of low pressure from the west introduces more rain and by then it's the turn of south—west england to have potentially damaging gusts with wind speeds of 40, 50, maybe even 65 mph. something else to bearin maybe even 65 mph. something else to bear in mind if you are travelling. before i go, want to show you one more thing. look through this room and you can see five gold rings, but underneath we have got fabulous rock quire.

they are going to sing the world's best selling christmas single, i'm dreaming ofa best selling christmas single, i'm dreaming of a light christmas. —— light christmas. i'm dreaming of a light christmas, just like the ones i used to know —— white christmas. may your days the dreamy and wide, and may all your christmases be white. —— the dreamy and white. obviously the singing is fantastic. iamso obviously the singing is fantastic. i am so impressed by the day co—ordinate that. very difficult. the hand swinging the king. it is ha rd the hand swinging the king. it is hard when you're singing at the same time. is it? -- the hand swinging

clicking. ben's got some breaking news about 02 this morning. huge problems for people waking up this morning that can't get onto the mobile network. an update on that, we know from o2 mobile network. an update on that, we know from 02 that they're investigating a major failure of its network, particularly this morning affecting data connections. if you're trying to get online to get e—mails, messages, to access the internet you might find you can't do it on three g or 4g, whatever your connection is. it's a problem because 02 is the second gives mobile network in the country behind the. bigger than vodafone, mobile network in the country behind the. biggerthan vodafone, it mobile network in the country behind the. bigger than vodafone, it has 25 million of its own customers —— ee. it runs other networks. altogether they have 32 million customers. they say this morning there investigating and they don't know what's caused the problem that they are. they say

voice calls are unaffected. —— they are. voice calls are unaffected. —— they a re. lots of voice calls are unaffected. —— they are. lots of reports that you can't make phone calls. we will stay across bad if we get any more updates. a big outage for the network in october, but that affected voice calls particularly. this one we're told todayjust affects data. it also affects other things, things like bus stops in the capital, tells you how long it is for your bus, that's not working because it's powered by the o2 network. more later. within the last hour or so we've had news from manchester airports group, that owns the airport in manchester but also east midlands and stansted just outside london. it's seen a 4% jump in profits for the first half of the financial year, earning just under 400, 200 £45 financial year, earning just under 400,200 £45 million for the al... charlie is here. les talk about

these figures are. a good set of figures. —— let's talk about. you've got a good spread, manchester, the midlands and london. what does it say about our habits? you're seeing passenger confidence continuing. we aren't seeing any impact from brexit. we've pushed through an extra 1.3 million passengers over the first six months of the year, 60 million passengers in september and we expect to see passengers growing despite brexit uncertainty. we see growth over the coming year. use a push in those passengers through, here in manchester, huge expansion of the terminal facility —— use said pushing. we hope is often on london and heathrow and the farc king we are spending over £1 billion in manchester with new terminal in the

structure and airfield development that will give us the capacity to grow to 60 million passengers. we see manchester airport as the global gateway for the north. it will be capable of more long haul flights into asia, more into america and the eu. you talk about regional growth, but it really relies on you being able to get to the airport. so many problems with the trains, particularly if we're talking about getting east to west in the north of england, but also from the south up, the debate about hs2 has an impact on you clearly. how annoying is that the late? massively frustrating for airports, manchester and sta nsted, because of surface access connectivity, rail being the most important channel but clearly at manchester we've had significant delays with trains coming into the airport, almost one in four or one in five delayed or cancelled over the summer, which then ricochets into customer service problems. why aren't we better at being joined up

about stuff like this? we keep talking to the government about the need for integrated infrastructure planning. we need to look at airports that we tend to look at rail, roads and airports in isolation but we need to look at them all at the same time —— we tend to look at rail, roads and airports in isolation but we need to look at them all at the same time. this should be determined by the people of manchester, not london? if you have the right policy, planning you should be able to get there but there should be more devolved accountability to the north for northern power rail for instance. huge problems in the airline industry this year, we've seen the colla pse industry this year, we've seen the collapse of monarch monarch, couple of airlines collapse of monarch monarch, couple ofairlines up collapse of monarch monarch, couple of airlines up for sale and ryanair with its well—documented problems, what does that mean for you as an airport because you have airlines not flying from there any more? monarch was a major loss to manchester airport, they handled 2 million passengers. the airport has

backfilled that this year, so that area will continue to grow. it's important the government recognise the impact of aviation taxation on the impact of aviation taxation on the smaller airlines in particular. aviation taxation is almost the highest in the world and if we can get managed change in that area it will help growth of airlines and the profitability of smaller airlines. guaranteed access to european airspace is the open skies agreement, what do you want to see out of brexit negotiations? it could be huge for you. continuation of open skies is fundamental for the aviation sector in the uk and for europe, but we're confident in discussions with uk government and eu counterparts that open skies will continue and aircraft will continue to fly into europe post— resolution of brexit. watch this space. charlie, nice to see you, the chief

executive of manchester airports group. more for you after 8am on the 02 group. more for you after 8am on the o2 problems. group. more for you after 8am on the 02 problems. it is a treat having to macro charlies in the studio, isn't it? great name, charlie cornish! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. —— two charlies. good morning from bbc london news, i'm victoria hollins. st george's university hospital's nhs trust has been warned that its cardiac surgery unit in tooting must improve. the care quality commission launched an inspection after concerns about higher than average mortality rates and negative hospital culture. the report reveals that hostility between surgeons led to them needing to take part in mediation to try and resolve their issues. the met has launched a video

looking at the roads now then. in dagenham, the a13 is down to two lanes westbound at the goresbrook interchange, following a collision, with delays back through rainham. clockwise traffic on the m25 is being held just after the clacket lane services for recovery of the vehicles involved in a collision. queues are back to j5 for the m26. now the weather, with elizabeth rizzini. good morning. once again it's a very mild start to the day for this time of year with temperatures in double figures. not a bad day weather today, we should stay mostly dry during the daylight hours but there will be some patchy rain around at times through the afternoon with heavy rain through the night tonight. staying mild through the day, quite breezy and an awful lot of cloud around as well. perhaps some early brightness forming. then the cloud will start to thicken through morning and we'll keep that thick cloud through much of the rest of the day. a few outbreaks of patchy light rain and resolved through the second half of the date, temperatures peaking at 14 or 15 degrees celsius with a fairly brisk

south—westerly wind too. now, we should get away with a mostly dry early evening rush—hour, but there'll be lots of cloud around. some dribs and drabs of rain through the overnight period and into the small hours of tomorrow morning. that rain threatens to turn heavy as we head into tomorrow morning's rush—hour. but another mild night to come, ending on around 11 or 12 celsius. so wet and windy first thing tomorrow, that early rain clearing to leave us with a breezy day with sunny spells and some showers. windy again on saturday and then turning cooler on the weekend and into next week. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: an end to tv gambling adverts during live sporting events. britain's leading betting firms sign up. a massive network failure hits mobile users on o2.

advertising is on tv. more than 90 minutes of adverts were shown in the football world cup this summer and anti—gambling campaigners say sport's use of adverts normalises betting. now, following extensive talks, uk companies have agreed no adverts will be broadcast for a defined period before and after a game is broadcast. horse racing will be exempt, but all other sports will be included. final ratification is still needed before the ban comes into force, but that should be a formality, according to industry insiders. it could come as early as this month. richard conway, bbc news. as many as 32 million customers are affected by problems with the o2 mobile phone network this morning. this is developing. do we know what is going on? no! thanks, then. great talking to you. we are talking about tens of millions of people. yes,

that 32 million figure is made up of the 02 25 that 32 million figure is made up of the o2 25 million direct customers with the o2 the o2 25 million direct customers with the 02 service, but also people effected on the tesco mobile network, sky and giffgaff and also lyca. z 32 million customers perhaps unable to get on the internet, use their emails, use messaging services. 02 is investigating the problem and they don't know what has caused it yet. we are also getting m essa g es caused it yet. we are also getting messages this morning suggesting that voice calls are also affected. 02 were keen to point out it was just the data and not the voice calling. this is important because 02 calling. this is important because o2 is the second—largest network in uk, just behind ee but ahead of vodafone, so you can imagine how many people are affected. and in the capital, there are signs telling you when the next bus is due and how

long you have got to wait, and they are not working. and a lot of people are not working. and a lot of people are saying that their travel cards are saying that their travel cards are stored on their mobile phone which you need to swipe to get on the bus. taxi drivers cannot get the information about where their next pick—up and drop—off is. you start to get a sense of how important this is when it is not working. all sorts of things, like using your map apps. yes, you will see that there are lots of devices that are connected to your mobile phone which need the sim card, and they are not working. we are in touch with o2 and they will let us know when there is any

change, but 32 million customers, so not a great start to the day if you can't log on to the network. the buses are still running it is just the old—fashioned buses are still running it is just the old —fashioned thing. buses are still running it is just the old—fashioned thing. their wealth does not end when your mobile phone tens of. it is just that you have got to wait for the bus which is seven minutes away. and i hope to have a better answer for you later. thank you! the impact of theresa may's brexit deal on the economy will be debated by mp5 today, as the government continues its efforts to secure support for the agreement. downing street insists the deal would deliver an economic partnership with the eu closer than that of any other country. labour says what's on offer will make people poorer. our political correspondent, jonathan blake, is in westminster. we are in the middle of this five—day run—up to the vote in december, and now that is being put in doubt itself? that is right. mps are wondering whether the vote should go ahead at all and one senior conservative said it would be madness for the prime minister to continue with the vote next tuesday. i wouldn't rule anything out at this volatile time in politics, but it would be out of character, i think, for the prime minister to do that.

she has showed such determination to press on and try to convince mp5 to vote for her deal. it is day three of that marathon five—day stretch of debate in the house of commons behind us at westminster later, focusing on the economy. the chancellor, philip hammond, will open today's debate, talking about a deal as a good one which protects jobs and backs businesses and allows better to have a close trading relationship with the eu in the future. the economy has been one of the most contentious areas of the whole brexit debate, both in the referendum campaign and since then, so referendum campaign and since then, soiam referendum campaign and since then, so i am sure we referendum campaign and since then, so i am sure we can referendum campaign and since then, so i am sure we can expect some fiery exchanges in the comments. as that continues, so does the government's efforts to get mp5 on side. last night the chief whip in charge of parliamentary discipline in the conservative party went to hear the concerns of some brexiteer that we have senior conservatives calling for a briefing as well. with five days to go, the government is trying everything it can. thank you for keeping us up to date. a major review of mental health laws in england and wales has found they' re outdated

and that sectioning is being misused. an independent report, commissioned by the government, sets out more than 150 recommendations on how to improve mental health care, including investment for inpatient units and providing more care in the community. police are becoming increasingly concerned about a british backpacker who is missing in new zealand. 22—year—old grace millane from essex has not been seen since saturday and did not respond to messages on her birthday, on sunday. her father is reported to be travelling to the country now. the foreign office said it was providing support to auckland police. an alarming proportion of adults in great britain who are eligible to sit on juries remain confused about what constitutes rape, campaigners say. a third of people surveyed for the end violence against women coalition said there had to be physical violence for a rape to have taken place. here's our home affairs correspondent june kelly. a video put out by leicestershire

police aimed at rape victims. it urges them not to destroy evidence which could help to bring an attacker to justice. research published today by the end violence against women coalition says there are still many myths and misconceptions about this crime and some still believe that sex in a relationship cannot be rape. cathy was attacked by a man she just started seeing. he was convicted of assaulting her. she says it was definitely rape. i was actually sleeping. so, you're not aware, and at the end of the day no means no. if you are in a position where you are not consenting to it in any way, then it's rape. a lot of people say what they think of rape is being pinned down on a bed or dragged up an alleyway, but that's not how it is. of the 4000 people questioned, 33% said if a woman was pressured into sex but there was no physical violence, it was not rape. 21% of women said that if a woman had flirted on a date, she couldn't be a rape victim,

even if she hadn't consented to sex. and at 33%, the figure for men believing this was even higher. you're safe now. across the uk, rape convictions have fallen. prosecutors say it is important that strong cases get to court, but this research raises questions aboutjurors who are sitting in judgment on them. june kelly, bbc news. the chief financial officer of chinese technology giant huawei has been arrested in canada. meng wanzhou faces extradition to the us on suspicion she violated sanctions against iran. china's embassy in canada protested at the arrest and demanded her release. huawei said it had little information about the charges and was not aware of any wrongdoing by ms meng. the body of the former us president george bush senior has been flown to texas, following his state funeral. he will lie at the church where the bush family has worshipped for decades, before a burial next

to his wife barbara, who died earlier this year. his memorial service in washington was attended by five former presidents, including his son george w bush, who paid an emotional tribute. to us, he was close to perfect. but not totally perfect. his short game was lousy. laughter. he wasn't exactly fred astaire on the dance floor. laughter. the man couldn't stomach vegetables. especially broccoli. laughter. and by the way, he passed these genetic defects along to us. so through our tears, let us know the blessings of knowing and loving you — a great and noble man. the best father a son or daughter could have had. that was george w bush talking about his father. it is 8:11am.

twitter has released the uk's top 10 most liked tweets of the year. here's a selection of some of the ones which struck a chord with social network users. us popstar ariana grande's emotional tweet remembering the victims of the manchester arena bomb, shared around the world. she wrote "thinking of you all today and everyday". you'll remember friends star david schwimmer's uncanny resemblance to a man wanted for shoplifting in blackpool. he posted this image recreating the scene. and he said, "i swear it wasn't me! " which was liked thousands of times. then there's england star, harry maguire's picture tweet with the words, "can you ask the neighbours to put the bins out on monday? we're not going home just yet" as the team continued their winning success at the world cup in moscow. they got to the semifinals. sport

and weather coming up later on. nearly 50,000 people were held under the mental health act in england and wales last year, with those from african and caribbean backgrounds four times more likely to be sectioned. an independent review found there needs to be a greater focus on the wishes of those who have been detained. we'rejoined from london by richard walsh from the charity rethink mental illness and also in the studio by mariam zulfiqar who has personal experience of mental health care. very good morning to you both. thank you forjoining us and thank you for sharing your story because it is a brave thing to do anyway. it is scary! yes, but your message will resonate with people. you are much younger and suffering from ptsd. take us through a brief version of the sequence of events.” take us through a brief version of the sequence of events. i started seeing cams, the child and adolescent mental health services, when i was 12. that was good. but when i was 12. that was good. but when i was 12. that was good. but when i turned 16 i started to get really unwell and my ptsd and depression got really bad. and this

was with the background of you being initially and can you? yes, i suffered abuse in my childhood and as suffered abuse in my childhood and asi suffered abuse in my childhood and as i got older because i hadn't disclosed it to anyone it kind of ma nifested disclosed it to anyone it kind of manifested itself into ptsd and really bad depression. during my gcses, i really struggled. ijust was not doing well at school and my school wasn't very supportive. i didn't really share much with my family. i was seeing a psychologist, psychiatrist, family therapist, a host of people. and then this reached crisis point? yes, we avoided hospital admission for a long time and we thought i could do it in the community, so they brought in all kinds of support with psychologists and psychiatrists and family therapists and emdr therapists, but that didn't help, and then i was put into hospital and ididn't want and then i was put into hospital and i didn't want to. i resisted it and i threw a big fight, but it was like

either we put you in a police van and we take it to hospital or you go in your parents' car. what happened? i became suicidal. but at that moment in time you could have been taken away by police? yes, i went into my psychologist's office and i can remember it like it was yesterday. i was at one of the lowest point in my life, probably. she asked me if i had planned to commit suicide. and ijust broke down and i was on the floor sobbing my eyes out because i did have a plan and it was going to be that friday. she said we can't let you go home. you are going to hospital. i saidi home. you are going to hospital. i said i can't do it. she said either you go in a police van, we are sectioning you, or in your parents' car. and what did happen? i went with my parents. i spent time in hospital it was the best and worst thing that ever happened to me. best because i would not be here without

that, i really believe that, and i am so that, i really believe that, and i am so grateful for my parents and the doctors who made a stand for me will stop it is a story that will resonate for many people. and it is very brave and to be open about it is very brave. a lot of people go through it. richard, we have been talking about this on the sofa and you have been listening. we think mental health has been a key player in this research. what has it thrown up in this research. what has it thrown up in terms of what needs to be tackled now? i think frankly the legislation is outdated and no longer fit for purpose. it doesn't treat people with dignity and respect. it doesn't give them a choice in the treatment they are receiving and it doesn't allow them to select the family and friends that they want to be involved in theircare. that they want to be involved in their care. really this is about patient involvement and choice. now that more and more people are suffering from mental illness, we need to recognise that this is not a

small minority of people. we are talking about hundreds of thousands of people. but unfortunately there is no funding, is there? when you look at it, what can be done in the short term? we have heard mariam's story and there will be people watching in trouble wondering what can be done. unfortunately it is about investment but very much investment in community services and supporting people like the story we have heard today in the community and at home to avoid hospital detention because that is much more costly for the government and the nhs. that is what we would urge the government and ministers to look at with the recommendations in the review, to look at adequate and effective and controlled an inclusive community services so people do not have to go into hospital. given your experience, a lot of this report is about how much worse it can be for people if they

are treated incorrectly. it can compound what is already a bad situation. it can make things so much worse. having a care plan in place which is inclusive which you have autonomy over and you can decide what works best for you, versus saying this is what we are going to do with you and you don't have a say and this is a medication you will take on this is what will happen to you. i think that can be detrimental to people's mental health. and you mentioned that time when they said the police will come and get you. presumably that makes you feel like a criminal? like i had done something wrong. what did i do wrong? ijust done something wrong. what did i do wrong? i just don't want to be done something wrong. what did i do wrong? ijust don't want to be here. how am! wrong? ijust don't want to be here. how am i guilty of something? and it is scary as well to think he will have the police and if you don't do this, it is your only choice. i can understand why they made that decision in hindsight but at the timei decision in hindsight but at the time i was really resentful and angry. richard david mach wrote that goodis angry. richard david mach wrote that good is that you are fine and on the road to recovery. —— richard. for

anybody suffering, it does sound scary. yes, and we have an advice line and support and we are the largest provider of mental health services in england and we urge people to contact us because you are not alone. there are thousands and millions of people suffering as well and we need to recognise that as a society. you are not alone. reach out to friends and family or to us as an organisation and we can help. richard from rethink mental illness and mariam, thank you for telling your story. it is eight and for the weather with carol. good morning. —— 8:19am and time for the weather with carol. hello. we are at castle howard in yorkshire and you can see that it howard in yorkshire and you can see thatitis howard in yorkshire and you can see that it is cloudy and quite damp. if we look round, you can see how splendid it is. building began around 1700 and it took 100 years to

complete. there are 145 rooms and 10,000 acres of garden, equivalent to 5000 football pitches. you might recognise the outside from bright said revisited, and it has been home to ten generations of the howard family and we will be talking to them all about it at 8:45am. we have been celebrating the 12 days of christmas and we will take you back in with the rock choir again at 8:45am. weather—wise we are looking at rain moving from the west to the east and behind it we have got blustery showers. the reason for this is that we have got some weather fronts coming our way producing heavy rain across northern ireland. it has now moved out of northern ireland but it is ensconced

across scotland, northern england, wales and the south—west, and the whole band is moving east. ahead of it there is a lot of cloud and some patchy mist and fog, which will lift into low cloud, and linger over the hills and generally anywhere which is quite high. you can see it here. the rain will come through through the day and behind it we see a return to brighter spells but not a lot of sunshine and also some blustery showers. temperatures way up blustery showers. temperatures way up on yesterday for some. yesterday in parts of aberdeenshire, the maximum temperature was minus two, and today we are looking at ten to 12 with most people in double figures. we lose the rain completely and there will be a lot of cloud left. high pressure is coming from the atlantic bringing rain, hail or snow and strengthening winds. it is not going to be cold overnight for most of us, except where the skies are clear. tomorrow is the low pressure crosses , are clear. tomorrow is the low pressure crosses, the rain will move quite quickly across england and wales, but there is a big loop across scotland, just fringing into

northern ireland. some heavy rain, sun hill snow and blizzards across parts of scotland, and it will be windy wherever you are. the strongest gusts of wind will be from ayrshire to the north, with damaging gusts of 80 mph. heading into saturday, that will clear away and saturday, that will clear away and saturday will be unsettled once again. afair saturday will be unsettled once again. a fair bit of cloud and some bright spells but then another system coming into the west introducing some rain and strengthening winds. this time it is the turn of south—west england to have the potential for disruption due to the strength of the winds. gusts of 50 to 65 mph. then on sunday and into next week it turns cold as we pull in the easterly winds. and some of us will see snow showers. thank you. now get back inside, carol. it is lovely inside. it isa inside, carol. it is lovely inside. it is a little bit dreich outside. yes, quite cool. you really notice it in these places. 0k and we will see you inside next time! during this year's

football world cup, tv viewers were shown more than 90 minutes of gambling adverts. campaigners argued this could normalise betting and now the remote gambling association has agreed to stop these adverts during live sport broadcasts. our sports news correspondent, richard conway, joins us from our london newsroom. this will literally change the way we view big sporting events. yes, we are so we view big sporting events. yes, we are so used to it now, watching live football, live cricket, whatever sporting event it is, and seeing those adverts before, during and after the event, encouraging us to bet on the match, bet on who will score next, what the score line will be, or looking to the next event. gambling companies have decided to ta ke gambling companies have decided to take matters into their own hands and self regulate and change things. between them, britain's top gambling companies have all sat down in the last few days and i understand the agreement they have come to is this

whistle to whistle ban, so a defined period before the start of the game, nothing during it, and a defined period afterwards, maybe ten or 15 minutes, a buffer zone around live sport where there will be no tv gambling adverts, a big step forward. and we have had a lot of discussion about the impact that gambling has. on people and particularly on families. the remote gambling association has said it before that it is very mindful of public concerns. how will this bleed out into other sports and other areas, do you think? i think it will be interesting. when we watch live sport we will see perimeter advertising for gambling, we will see sponsorship of leagues and teams, we will see the gambling logos and a lot of foreign gambling companies in the premier league and the championship appear on the t—shirts. that will not change and this is defined towards tv advertising. that it will be part of the wider debate, the relationship between sport and gambling

associations. and gambling companies. this is another step towards that. the gambling companies have been under political pressure and a degree of public pressure as well. people thinking there is too much tv advertising, especially in a day and age when it is so easy to place a bet, with a mobile phone and gambling apps, it is so easy to place a bet. i think they have listened to that concern and they are reacting because the fear from them is that this government or a labour administration in the future or whoever comes into office could ta ke or whoever comes into office could take things away from them and act ina take things away from them and act in a draconian manner so they are self—regulating now to off the future. —— to ward that off in the future. —— to ward that off in the future. this statistic claims that 250,000 children between the ages of 11 and 15 bet regularly. the point

of this is to prove in the future, even though horse racing is examined, that this has made a difference and that is what needs to happen. how soon do you think we will see those figures? this needs to be ratified by another industry body, which should be a formality according to insiders i have spoken to, and we could see that inside 2019. the industry is conscious of its need to be socially responsible, and we have heard the phrase when the fun stops, stop, which is something all the betting companies use and have agreed upon. they are putting in self limits, opt outs if people want to freeze things, a cooling off period when they can't bet. the companies are more responsible, but this issue of tv advertising is so dominant. they are sat down with their kids watching the big game at the weekend, monday night, and they see a lot of this advertising and it is a big visual

impact which the gambling companies can do, to show they are doing other things to limit the social harm of gambling, and to help those with issues, people who have problem gambling, but this is a big visual measure which shows they are listening and taking concerns into account. will it satisfy everyone? they are not entirely sure and i think some people will still have questions over the wider relationship between sport and gambling. but the industry is looking at this measure right now i'm thinking this is something tangible that we can do and do fairly easily. richard conway, thank you for taking us through that. now it is time to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello there, good morning. it is a much milder start to the day compared to yesterday, particularly so across scotland where yesterday, temperatures were below freezing. this morning, they are above freezing. we will see quite a bit of cloud today across the uk, and with that there will be blustery showers moving in, especially around western areas.

had a few clear slots this morning, a better brightness, all of this cloud associated with the weather system moving in from the atlantic. that will stay with us for much of the day. the rain this morning moving eastwards. it is quite showery into the afternoon across northern england, wales, south—west england. the odd shower moving into the south—east of england as well but the cloud breaking up quite nicely in the north—east of scotland, some sunshine here. much milder, temperatures widely up into double figures, 10—14d. tonight, those showers continue to drift their way eastwards. more persistent rain spreading into the south—west during friday morning, pushing eastwards across many areas. it is all linked into this area of low pressure here. the isobars are really quite close together, particularly across the northern half of the uk and especially across scotland, where through friday there will be strong gusts of wind, 60—70, even 80 miles an hour in exposed western areas,

through the central belt and up into northern parts of northern ireland as well. those strong winds continue for much of the day and heavy rain continues to move its way in here as well with snow over higher ground and blizzards over higher ground here. elsewhere, the rain clears and there will be sunshine throughout friday. a few blustery showers because even across southern areas, by those wind gusts there, you can see 30—40 mile an hour wind gusts. during the afternoon, temperatures drop, so while it will be a mild start to the day, by the afternoon temperatures at 7—9dc. into the weekend it will turn more unsettled, but it will be colder by sunday. goodbye. this is business live from bbc news with victoria
