which we believe to be grace. the formal identification process will now take place. however, based on evidence we have gathered in the past few days we expect that this is grace. obviously this brings the search for grace to an end. this is an unbearable time for the millane family and our hearts go out to them. police released pictures of a red rental car and asked the public for any sightings of it last monday. officers confirmed a postmortem investigation will be conducted on the body found. 22—year—old grace was on a year—long worldwide trip and had been in contact with her family nearly every day since she had got to new zealand, until december 1, the day before her 22nd birthday. grace had been staying at a backpacker‘s hostel in auckland. her last confirmed sighting was on saturday night a week ago, entering a hotel in the city with a male companion. police say he had been with her during the evening. a 26—year—old man has been charged with her murder and is due to appear

in court on monday. chi chi izundu, bbc news. downing street insists that tuesday's crunch brexit vote will go ahead, rejecting suggestions that theresa may could delay it, in order to avoid defeat. last night the conservative mp will quince, a ministerial aide at the ministry of defence, resigned from his position, saying he couldn't back the deal. let's speak to our political correspondent nick eardley. mrs may is still fighting for her deal? she is indeed. she is in the papers again making the argument that the only way to definitely deliver brexit is if mps vote for her deal on tuesday. she argues that otherwise they are risking potentially a general election, potentially a general election, potentially another referendum, and potentially another referendum, and potentially no brexit at all. the problem for the prime minister, the problem for the prime minister, the problem she has that of the last week as well, is that these warnings don't seem to be working, mainly in

her own party that make many in her own party are extremely unhappy. that is why we saw will quince, a ministerial aide, that is why we saw will quince, a ministerialaide, putting that is why we saw will quince, a ministerial aide, putting last night. he may not be a household name, people might not be thinking it isa name, people might not be thinking it is a big blow for the prime minister, but it does suggest that people she thought she could rely on, people on the government payroll, are not completely on side and she could face, potentially, more of these resignations in the coming days. that is why some are saying to the prime minister to delay this vote, don't risk the humiliation of potentially a massive rebellion and a humiliating defeat. downing street says, for now anyway, it is deftly going ahead. thank you very much. that on the daily mail on sunday. lots of papers have stories about brexit today. the french government says that a heavy police presence curbed escalating violence, during a fourth weekend of protests by the so—called "yellow vest" movement. nearly a thousand people were arrested, and more than 100 received hospital treatment, as lucy williamson reports. they called it a protest.

at times it looked more like a game of urban war. groups of protesters fanned through the capital's streets. from the arc de triomphe to republique, boulevards once built to open the veins of the city filled with tear gas, burning vehicles, and riot police. the police were well prepared for this confrontation, with armoured vehicles, new tactics, and bag searches — seizing gas masks and helmets and anything that could be used against police. the tear gas, far stronger than usual, took many protesters by surprise. and rapid reaction squads marked out by orange armbands were stationed among the protesters to spot trouble and make early arrests. despite the violence of previous protests, this movement still has the backing of many voters in france. its members proud of their lack of leadership and the diversity

of their support. but this movement is already splintering into two kinds of protest — one that looks towards a new political programme and a violent wing, opposed to any negotiation. it is hard to exclude and even harder to control. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. president trump is looking for his third chief of staff, after announcing that john kelly is leaving the post at the end of this month. it's not clear why the former marine general is stepping down, but us media reports talk of growing disagreements with mr trump. general kelly has been in the role since the end ofjuly last year and becomes the 28th member of senior staff to have resigned or been fired during the trump administration. john kelly will be leaving... i don't know if i can say retiring, but he is a great guy. john kelly will be leaving at the end of the year. we'll be announcing who will be taking john's place — it might be on an interim basis.

i be announcing that over the next day or two, butjohn will be leaving at the end of the year. a campaign is being launched today to warn young athletes about the dangers of under—eating and over—training. the condition known as relative energy deficiency affects hundreds of people, and can lead to serious eating disorders like bulimia and anorexia. bilby more on this on 5 live investigates. adrian goldberg is here. —— there will be more on this. you have some pretty shocking case studies. until you start peeling back this story are looking at the individuals involved, it can be a little bit dry. at then you start hearing about the female athlete, and england international, who has not had a period for eight yea rs who has not had a period for eight years because she is suffering from this condition known as red—s, or a

cyclist in his 20s who finally hit the wall in terms of years, the amount of energy he was expanding in training and in competition, he was assessed as having the bones of an 80—year—old. we have people pushing themselves to the maximum for their sport, but not taking enough nutrition in, expanding far too much energy, and really doing serious long—term damage to their health. what is being done to combat this is as yellow british athletics say they are working with a number of partner organisations to try to increase awareness and treatment of these condition. but it is about getting the word out there and this campaign launched in london today for the campaign known as train rave is to make people aware of the dangers. you want to push your body but not this far. people are not eating enough and training hard to lose weight to be lighter and they think

that leaner and fitter. li na and lighter are the watchwords. that can be very good in some ways if you are taking place in sport —— lene. surely if you are an athlete and this is opposed to normal people who are training foran this is opposed to normal people who are training for an event. if you are training for an event. if you area are training for an event. if you are a professional athlete you should have expertise around you. shouldn't they be people telling you this is not a good idea and monitoring what you are doing. this is not a good idea and monitoring what you are doingli think that by the time you get to elite level of athletics then you will be getting that very close attention. we are talking of an about sub elite athletes. people just below the top level or people working their way up, maybe, doing park runs, but trying to push themselves to the next level. who may be just themselves to the next level. who may bejust guiding themselves to the next level. who may be just guiding themselves, may only have occasional interaction with a nutritionist or sport scientist. they are the ones at most risk. it is really interesting. you

kind of figured it might be the case, but when you talk about a 20—year—old man with the bones of an 80—year—old. .. 20—year—old man with the bones of an 80-year-old. .. of an 20—year—old man with the bones of an 80-year-old... of an by 20—year—old man with the bones of an 80-year-old. .. of an by the time people get to elite level and they have achieved fantastic times, very often those patterns of disordered eating may already be in place for them. thank you very much. you can hear more on the story on bbc radio 5 live investigates at 11 o'clock this morning. it isa it is a 7:10am on bbc breakfast. 55 pairs of designer trainers, seized from a jailed gangster are to be sold at auction. the collection, valued at around £18,000, includes luxury brands like louis vuitton, jimmy choo, and gucci. their owner, who is serving a six—year sentence for shooting at a rival gang member, was allowed to keep any pairs worth less than £100. amazing. who knew? who knew trainers

cost that much money. let us talk about wins... this time of the morning. i am not saying anything. in the uk we're pretty accustomed to the sound of the wind — especially at this time of year — but does it sound different on mars? mars wind blows. not really, as it turns out. b roper we are talking about is not designed to pick up sound, but the british seismometer, carried on nasa's insight lander, detected the martian air as it rushed over the probe's solar panels. —— rover. the ultimate aim of the mission, which is sited on a flat plain just north of mars' equator, is to study the red planet's geology. there you go. it is coming up to 7:12am. we will get more on the developing news overnight that

police in new zealand, searching for the missing british backpacker, grace millane, have found a body. it was announced at an emotional press conference, close to where the find was made. since early this morning we have had a scene examination underweight in the section of bush behind me. this area was identified late last night asa area was identified late last night as a location of interest as a result of our investigative work. i can now advise that a short time ago we located a body which we believe to be grace. the formal identification process will now take place. however, based on the evidence we have gathered over the past few days, we expect that this is grace. 0bviously past few days, we expect that this is grace. obviously this brings the search for grace to an end. it is an unbearable time for the millane family and our hearts go out to them. the investigation will continue for some time yet. the focus now was to piece together exactly what happened to a young girl who came to new zealand. any

father, any parent in this situation will struggle. i feel father, any parent in this situation will struggle. ifeel for father, any parent in this situation will struggle. i feel for him. father, any parent in this situation will struggle. ifeel for him. i have a daughter in her 20s. so, yeah, we are putting a lot of support around him. yeah, we are putting a lot of supportaround him. it yeah, we are putting a lot of support around him. it is difficult, because he is here with a brother and the rest of the family are back home. so our hearts go out to him. that was inspector scott beard from new zealand pierce. —— police. let's talk now to sarah robson, from radio new zealand. thank you for talking to us this morning. you got a sense watching scott bea rd morning. you got a sense watching scott beard there about how emotional he was and therefore the impact this has had in new zealand. yeah. that is right. there has been a lot of discussion on social media in particular. this has raised that conversation again with questions around violence of men towards women. there are discussions on social media about holding candlelit vigils in auckland and wellington over the next few days to remember grace millane. and i think one of the main reasons why this has had

such an impact on many new zealanders, we go for overseas on oui’ zealanders, we go for overseas on our overseas experiences, much in the same way that grace has at the age of 22. and we embark on his adventures by ourselves as well. and, i guess, for new zealanders to have this happen to someone at such a young age, who was just, just finished university and was embarking on her huge overseas trip, it has really affected many people in the wider new zealand community. we will talk about grace in a moment because this is about her and her family. but to pick up on the threat we we re family. but to pick up on the threat we were talking about there, it must be, for the authorities, worrying because so many people come to new zealand and it is a place that is a destination and the economy relies a lot on tourism and a lot on young people coming to the country. that's exactly right. this isn't something that happens even once a year. in my

memory, i don't recall a case similarto memory, i don't recall a case similar to this. and, as you say, tourism is such a huge part of our economy. we have heard from tourism new zealand today. they are a little worried about the impact of the coverage of this case might have, particularly over there in the uk in terms of tourists coming here. but i guess the message is, new zealand, we don't have a reputation for being an we don't have a reputation for being a n u nsafe we don't have a reputation for being an unsafe tourist destination. it is somewhere where i guess there is an expectation that perhaps grace's family thought she would be ok in new zealand. we do have a well—developed tourism industry and is absolutely —— absolutely isn't a sense that this would happen to anyone, let alone a tourist, let alone a new zealander living in auckland will stop everyone's thoughts are with grace's family this morning, this afternoon, where you are. as the inspector said, her father is that with his brother, the rest of the family are still at home

in the uk, everybody‘s thoughts are with them today. thoseit those it was emotional throughout a press co nfe re nce . those it was emotional throughout a press conference. when he was asked, as you heard in that clip, how is grace's father doing? he got emotional. he has a daughter in her 20s. that's what brought it home to a lot of new zealanders. might have ambitions travelling around the world much in the same way that grace had planned to do after finishing university. it's almost a rite of passage. school leavers and university leaders, going off. and there is a sense of responsibility in some ways for new zealanders here that this has happened to someone who is visiting our country. amazing custody. what is the legal process?

we did hearfrom them custody. what is the legal process? we did hear from them today that 26 job man has formally been charged with murder. he expected to be heard in court tomorrow morning. we don't how much detail we might get. it's usually a fairly short first appearance. we're not sure he will be named or we can report on any details about him. in addition to that court appearance, the police are expecting this investigation to still take some time. they still need to piece together what happened between the time she was last seen outside queen street hotel and the time where we got to with her body being found. the police looking for a carof being found. the police looking for a car of interest and they are appealing for sightings of it. working out what happened to her. we are grateful for your time, thank you. sarah robson from radio new

zealand. that is check—in with matt. —— let us check—in. a bit damp and breezy across the southern half of the uk but it gets better than many of you. more sunshine, wings a little bit lighter. it is set to get colder. the clues are in the satellite images. in the north, moving from north to south and it is that drift which will gradually take hold through the day, bringing ever colder air further southwards and eastwards. at the moment, quite strong winds touching gale force across parts of southern england and wales. they are becoming more confined across southern areas over the coming hours. a few showers which contain snow. not too many inroads into central and southern scotland. lots of sunshine to come. a few showers into the afternoon across the north and north—west. a bit of a chilly breeze with

temperatures around dingwall and lerwick around three or four degrees. the same sort of temperatures in northern ireland. sunshine in between. continuing to see a run of showers into the north and west of wales, especially across snowdonia and anglesey. very few showers across england and wales. the vast majority, dry. into tonight, showers continuing. to the north and east of that, widespread temperatures across scotland and north—east england. may just temperatures across scotland and north—east england. mayjust stay clear of the frost but even that will be a bit hit and miss. into tomorrow morning, a chilly start. a few showers later across western areas. the crowd —— the cloud gradually increasing. the best of the sunshine in the east. turning a

touch milderfurther the sunshine in the east. turning a touch milder further west. the sunshine in the east. turning a touch milderfurther west. that milder errors go to try to push through the week. it will be a struggle. to air masses battling it out. the big uncertainty news how that milder air will work its way through. not with us for tuesday by the looks. the northerly winds to the looks. the northerly winds to the east of us, a fair bit of cloud which will thin and break after a frosty start. ra i n which will thin and break after a frosty start. rain trying to pushing towards ireland. doesn't make it towards ireland. doesn't make it towards much of the uk but into the week ahead, it will be slow progress to get that milder through. if it does, we could see a spell of snow through thursday and friday. will keep you updated. it looks good, not too bad. being able to hire a bike and ride it around for the day is an increasingly common option in cities around the world. but what happens when the idea doesn't prove a success? schemes in a number of british cities have recently been abandoned,

but some places still hope the idea will take off. here's our business correspondentjoe miller. they were supposed to make our cities cleaner while helping us all get a little bit leaner. instead, we re get a little bit leaner. instead, were still, vandalised and even even abandoned on railway tracks. faced with huge losses, chinese firms pooled their yellow and orange fleets out of many uk cities and is shrunk their service in london. it looked like the end of the road for docklands cycles but a new entrant is serving it can pull off the u—turn. this is the latest contender in britain's berkshire battles, designed in california, and backed by the likes of google and helping you up those difficult hills. will

they get an easier ride than a chinese competitors? lime is slow pedalling into the capital. after a trial in milton keynes, it is launching only in the adjacent london boroughs of brent in ealing, farfrom london boroughs of brent in ealing, far from the crowded city centre and it is hoping to prove to other councils in the country that it spikes won't become a public nuisance. because of the battery pack on the back, it needs to be serviced and maintained every couple of days. this means we have an operations team which is super vigilant. having a handle were a bristol bike is in the city. lime says it spikes are equipped with a real—time gps trackers and their heavy weight next part of people to make off with them butjust a couple of quid for a shortjourney, the company will have to do more than just fend off thieves to avoid the fate of its predecessors.” just fend off thieves to avoid the fate of its predecessors. i think what they found is that not making

as many trips as they are hoping to make as their current business model requires them to make five trips per byte per day. they are not meeting. lime wants to wrap up enough troops to make ends meet may have to expand upon the confines of north—east london but despite its limited roll—out, local councillors the company's roll—out, local councillors the compa ny‘s the bikes roll—out, local councillors the company's the bikes will have a special appeal to some residents. the lucky —— particularly those lacking ability or the elderly, it will be an easy way of cycling, getting out, getting fresh air, getting out, getting fresh air, getting more exercise, with out having to cycle everywhere. lime is aiming to do is deployed thousand bikes by the end of the year and its ambition will eventually cover all of london and beyond. but with cities like amsterdam and vienna already declaring war on docklands spikes, and when the prospect of gigantic berkshire graveyards

scaring off policymakers, it will only take a couple of wobbles are its global plans come to a halt. joe miller, bbc news. i have this one works. this is practised mac. type look the newspapers. —— breakfast. the reverend sally hitchen is here to tell us what has caught her eye. good morning. we are going to start with the sunday times which is reporting that in a frantic bid to save her brexit deal, theresa may is planning to delay tuesday's crucial house of commons vote on the withdrawal agreement and go back to brussels to renegotiate. downing street, however has rejected its suggestion. the oh services minister ‘s warnings to delay the vote have

not been heeded by the pm. despite attem pts not been heeded by the pm. despite atte m pts to not been heeded by the pm. despite attempts to portray unity in the cabinet. the paper also says that a deep split has emerged among senior ministers over whether nude brexit referendum should be held. according to the sunday telegraph, the prime minister is losing her grip on power. the paper says the conservatives have been rocked by resignations ahead of tuesday's vote. there is also picture on the front page of yesterday's violent clashes in paris. the sunday mirror is splashing —— splashing on interview with charlie rowley, was hospitalised as a result of the salusbury poisoning. after contracting meningitis, he told the paper that he is going blind. celek a more difficult? this is from the times. starting off with a story

about gay conversion therapy. i'm quite an activist in this area and i mentioned briefly in this article. what it's really highlighting is there is a new study which is a charity focusing on this which is backed by a number of bishops highlighting and looking into the extent of the problem of gay conversion therapy where people are given counselling or other forms of interventions to try and stop them from being lgb ortea. and interventions to try and stop them from being lgb or tea. and the extent of the problem. there have been churches that are practised this. it's not as popular as it to be. the church of england's governing council has made statements against it. it's still very prolific and has an extraordinarily bad effect on people's mental health so it's great that we are looking into finding out some real facts about how widespread

this problem really is. inside the daily telegraph, there is an interview with bear grylls, the chief scout, talking about the fight of the scouts against extremism. muslim communities are clamouring to start scout troops. i'm passionate about this because i work with the universities prevention strategy which is antiterrorism and it starts before people are radicalised to the point where they might do something illegal and the way to do that is to stop individuals being isolated. this is the only thread all individuals radicalised. they've been isolated from positive groups. seeing the scouts leading all the way. bear grylls, and lots of other hard—working people way. bear grylls, and lots of other ha rd—working people have way. bear grylls, and lots of other hard—working people have managed to increase the number of scouts to about —— by about 43% to 6000 and

christmas tree is sitting over there. being finished off today. corel is doing it in between getting cups of coffee. as you say, one are the nicest things is what the kids made. see you in one hour. stay with us. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and victoria fritz. here's a summary of this morning's main news. police in new zealand searching for the missing british backpacker grace millane, have found a body. the 22—year—old from essex was last seen in auckland over a week ago. a 26—year—old man is due to appear in court on monday charged with her murder. this brings the search for grace to an end. it is an unbearable time for the millane family and our hearts go out to them. the investigation will

continue for some time yet. the focus now was to piece together exactly what happened to a young girl who came to new zealand. downing street insists that tuesday's crunch brexit vote will go ahead, rejecting suggestions that theresa may could delay it, in order to avoid defeat. the pm has warned that the uk would be in "uncharted waters" if mps fail to back the bill. will quince — a ministerial aide at the ministry of defence — has resigned from his position, saying he couldn't back the deal. the french government says that a heavy police presence curbed escalating violence, during a fourth weekend of protests by the so—called "yellow vest" movement. nearly a thousand people were arrested, and more than 100 received hospital treatment, during the demonstrations about rising living costs. president trump is looking for his third chief of staff, after announcing that john kelly is leaving the post at the end of this month. it's not clear why the former marine general is stepping down, but us media reports talk of growing disagreements with mr trump. general kelly has been in the role since the end ofjuly last year and becomes the 28th member of senior staff to have resigned or been fired during

the trump administration. fax machines will be banned across the nhs, under government plans to overhaul outdated technology. they'll be phased out by april 2020, and a ban on buying the machines brought in from next month. the royal college of surgeons has said it is "absurd" that hospital trusts still own more than 8,000 fax machines. interestingly, while we were talking earlier, all football clubs still have a fax machine. that is how they do the deadline day. they transfer deadline day and all that stuff. you get your facts into your buying and selling club. there is no e-mails. perhaps the nhs facts as they could flock to the football cups. because the football clubs cannot afford them. we'll

we' ll start we'll start with football. i was listening to 5 live when i was on the settee and watch the football. the title race is alive and well. and that meant there with the big smile, he is on top. will be —— will he be on top of the tree for christmas? it is so tight. 0nly he be on top of the tree for christmas? it is so tight. only a point. liverpool are now the only unbeaten side in the premier league, mo salah scored a hatrick in their 4—0 win at bournemouth and they are one point clear of manchester city who lost at chelsea. tottenham havejumped back up to third, as adam wild reports the title race is hotting up. manchester city beaten in the premier league for the first time this season. we could have one heck of a title race on. the premier league feels a rather different place this morning. the unbeaten finally beaten. chelsea the first to do what some had begun to think was impossible. i'm very happy with the win, because i think it is not very easy to win against manchester city, it is not easy to win. that feels something

of an understatement. pep guardiola's side had not been beaten in the league since april. chelsea ending that extraordinary sequence. they gave fresh hope that this title chase remains very much on. with that new hope, new leaders, liverpool are now top of the league after they and in particular mo salah ran rings around ballmer. —— bournemouth. they come for 4—0 a victory. a victory for mo saleh. they are now the side to catch. in arms reach if not quite in touching distance yet, spurs are back into third. a brilliant goal. they kept up their pursuit with a win against leicester city. they remain the side putting pressure on the top two. there has not been too much cause for optimism

at old trafford this season. but amidst the gloom and occasional whims of something brighter. ashley young showing the way against fulham. manchester united's because win of the season completed by marcus rashford. a change in fortunes for them, perhaps, but while the premier league may feel a different place this morning, before long we'll hope it changes even more. they remain bottom. you can find details of all yesterday's results on the bbc sport website arsenal are just outside the top four after leaving it late at home to huddersfield. here's lucas torreira's bicycle kick, which gave arsenal victory over huddersfield. it came late on — 83rd minute in fact — and it took their unbeaten run to 21 games in all competitions this season. let's just return to the match at stamford bridge, anti—discrimination charity kick it out says "yet another great day

of football has been damaged by prejudice". the metropolitan police and chelsea are investigating an incident of alleged racist abuse during the match with manchester city. a group of men in the home end hurled abuse at raheem sterling as he went to collect the ball for a corner. it's alleged that the abuse was racist. no arrests have been made. the police say they will review footage, it was widely shared on social media. chelsea say they will take the strongest possible action where necessary. kilmarnock‘s stay at the top of the scottish premiership was all too brief. celtic are there now after beating them 5—1, although rangers can take over if they get a big win at bottom club dundee later. there were also wins for stjohnstone, hibs, and hearts yesterday. and for livingston, who beat st mirren 3—1 — ryan hardie helping them on their way with his first goal of the season. livingstone are back in the top six.

england and scotland have been drawn in the same group for next summer's women's world cup. the scots are in their first finals and they'll be joined in their group by argentina — and japan, who knocked england out in the semi—finals of the last world cup. england—scotland will be in nice on ninthjune. i don't think this is a game that we will need to build up. i think both sets of players know each other inside out. a lot of them play in the same clubs together at arsenal and city. i watched scotland against usa last month and they played fantastic. a great spirit about them. something good is happening in scottish women's football. it will bea scottish women's football. it will be a tough start to the group, but i think when you look at the group used the three great games, three special games that all have a meaning to english football. but i think that is why i am really excited. obviously our first time at the world cup. and of course you draw

england in the first game. i know everyone will talk about what happened in the euros, but what we have to do focus on is the full group and not just have to do focus on is the full group and notjust one opponent. we know it is going to be tough, we knew it would beat up whoever we drew. but it is an exciting group as well. it's been called the final to end all finals and it will finally be played tonight thousands of miles away from where it should —— europoean rugby union returned this weekend, after the international break, and the champions cup holders leinster have taken a big step towards the knockout stage, with a 17—10 win over bath. the game was all square untiljordan larmour caught this interception to put the irish side in front. that leaves bath still without a win and effectively ends their campaign. exeter are in the same boat after they lost at home to gloucester, who're top of their pool — ben morgan's try sealing a 27—19 win. a huge win for glasgow boosted their hopes of reaching

the knockout stage — hquones scored their bonus—point try in a 42—22 win over lyon in france. glasgow are top of their group. defending champion ronnie o'sullivan faces mark allen in the final of the uk snooker championship in york this afternoon. o'sullivan breezed past tom ford six frames to one. allen beat stuart bingham in the other semi—final. o'sullivan is on course for a record seventh title. just as long as you play well, competing, mum taught me hopefully your name will be written on it. you can play brilliantly and loose sometimes, but that is just snooker. you have got to be consistent, competitive, enjoy it, and when the wind comes you are over the moon. i know what i am doing this afternoon, that final on bbc two at one o'clock. —— win. and that final is on bbc two — it starts at one o'clock. now on to the world of extreme sports — and the mayhem that is crashed ice racing. this is injapan — the first event of the season —

and after the competitors speed down that ice track, you can see where the sport gets its name — they literally crash into the barrier. flat out but he did win. it was an american 1—2. this is the women's race. far more graceful. where is the camera? there it is. even crossed the line on one knee. and some champagne. i like the look of that. you would need plenty of padding. i have got some built—in. i would be right. thank you. thank you. around 10,000 people slept out in parks in four scottish cities last night, as part of what's being described as the world's biggest sleepout in aid of homeless charities. celebrities including kt tunstall, amy macdonald, and eddi reader, performed at each venue. last yea r‘s event raised four million. let's speak to its co—founder josh littlejohn. how did it go? it was amazing. you

have to forgive me for looking slightly bedraggled. i was sleeping out in the park last night as well. quite a mild night to be honest. 10,000 people across four cities slept out. i managed to get around all four. it was inspiring to see so many people from all walks of life. we had people from the corporate and business world, schoolkids, students, all kinds of people gave up students, all kinds of people gave up their beds for this common cause. it was really amazing. you managed to get round four different sites and presumably the people, the celebrities who helped you out and we re celebrities who helped you out and were entertaining some of the people in the parks also did. were you using a helicopter to get round? how did you do at? that was the plan. we sold it on the notion it would be a helicopter. that was my maverick idea. and then the 50 people decided against that. we ended up going around in vans, slightly less glamorous, but we all got round all four cities. then there were other

performances. we had a surprise performances. we had a surprise performance in glasgow, which was pretty amazing. and the trainspotting author, irvine welsh did a bedtime story in edinburgh which was totally bonkers. it was a pretty special occasion. it looks amazing. we are looking at some of the pictures now of the people gathered in scotland. it is an extraordinary impressive thing you have done, raising awarness and funds in this way. can you understand some of the criticism from some corners that perhaps this might bea from some corners that perhaps this might be a little bit patronising for those who really are homeless that people who are not come out and doa that people who are not come out and do a once the event and get entertainment put on for them and thatis entertainment put on for them and that is their kind of social responsibility done for the year. not really. i think basically what happened is that one individual wrote a blog saying that and it

becomes as though it is a nifty 50 debate. throughout scotland this has been overwhelmingly positive, incredibly inspiring thing. i think it has got some really direct impacts. there were £3.2 million raised so far. that will be invested in this big programme to directly help about 830 people off the streets into their own house with support. another really important thing to mention is across those cities there were 400 tickets allocated to homeless charities for homeless people who were currently in that situation to come and join. so homeless people were not excluded from their own party. there were homeless people from each of the cities on state telling their stories. they have ownership of the whole thing, which i think is really critical. 0k, whole thing, which i think is really critical. ok, so you make a black woman in pounds last year, more than £3 million this year. are you going bigger still? they have there is coffee in that mark —— £4 million last year. we are trying to take the

concept, one to manchester, i had a meeting with andy burnham next week. maybe we can try to see where the whole thing goes. it is an incredibly powerful fundraising mechanism. it is certainly a really powerful way to shine the political spotlight on this issue. one of the big issues with homelessness is that homeless people have historically been too easily ignored, both literally as we walk past them, and also politically. and occasionally when thousands of people come together and put up that may give up their beds there is a sharp focus on their beds there is a sharp focus on the issues. we are keen to see where we can take that. has the homelessness situation in scotland got worse? it has basically stagnated. maybe got marginally worse. but i think this last year, to be honest, there has been a significant amount of momentum on theissue significant amount of momentum on the issue across the sector. the scottish government had to give great credit to them, they have made some bold commitments on the issue,

they have pledged £50 million in total to a range of interventions including £6.5 million to a programme specifically that was created off the back of one of these ain created off the back of one of these a in the park events, one had 830 people off the streets. i believe there is a great sense of momentum in scotland and i certainly think scotla nd in scotland and i certainly think scotland is a small enough country, this goes for other cities in the uk as well, where we could create a society where nobody should have to be homeless. that is not so far—fetched because other countries such as finland have more less drove their homeless numbers down to a practical level of zero. so why couldn't at the ekka delaet scotland is well? josh littlejohn, well done. go and get some sleep. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. certainly a chilly night up there last night. windy and wetter times are all common cold air is on its way. it does mean that after some

wet weather across southern areas, fewer showers around into the afternoon, more sunshine and the wind will be turning that little bit lighter. the satellite imagery, you can see the tail of what's happening, wind pushing clouds from west to east. from north to south. is that northerly flow which will dominate through the day. bringing a few showers across northern scotland. there is the rest of the showers across wales, the midlands, southern england. drifting away towards the south coast. a bit of sunshine in between. most of those will fade away by the morning. we will fade away by the morning. we will still continue with a run of showers and northern ireland and northern west wales. away from that, or more in the way of sunshine for the second half of this afternoon. lots of pleasant weather for the time of years. actually when he, temperatures of four or five degrees. many will stay dry throughout. a little sunshine in between. the vast majority of

england and wales this afternoon will be drier, sunshine, highs around 12 celsius. into tonight, some showers. some will push towards north—west england. to the south is that little bit milder than it will be in the north and east. widespread frosts. even the west, some sheltered spots could be a touch on the chilly side to start with. tomorrow morning's commute, many drive. through the day, clad increases. a few spots of rain here. the best of the sunshine in the east by chilly here as well. we'll be back with the headlines at eight o'clock — but first it's time for click with spencer kelly. planet earth is under attack from us. we are failing to meet the targets to slow down global warming. if we do not take action, the collapse of our civilisations and the extinction of much

of the natural world is on the horizon. we're all told how much we throw away every single day. but, wow, i have to say, this place really rams it home. this is where the mixed recycling bins outside our homes end up so they can be sorted into different materials. there's a really mechanical way of sorting the recycling into different sizes and shapes. smaller, lighter bits of paper get thrown over the top. the smaller, heavier objects fall through the gaps. and the heavier, larger objects roll down these wheels to be collected at the bottom. this plant can sort 230 tons of waste in a day. that's almost 30 trucks' worth,

although it's just a fraction of what we throw away. and the problem is not all of our plastic ends up in the recycling. and even then, not all of it can be recycled. i think the truth is, a lot of us pop the plastic into the recycling bin and we think that's it, job done, our conscience is clear. but, of course, it's nowhere near as simple as that. but there are some people who have decided to deal with plastics in a much more drastic manner. well, it all started at home, during the preparation of our dinner. first we decided to try to experience zero waste at home, to avoid contributing constantly to this tremendous problem all around the world. so i thought, "well,

what can i do with waste plastic?" can i build something out of that? not a toy, or a sculpture, or an adorable thing, but something useful. everybody said, "well, you can't do this. it's not possible. " meet liesbeth and edwin, two ordinary people with extraordinary ambitions. they've spent the past three years designing and building a solar—powered vehicle that's almost entirely made of plastic from the rubbish bin. and we're notjust talking about a vehicle to drive on their local, flat dutch roads. no, this is one built to withstand the toughest conditions — antarctica. the couple will drive 2,400 kilometres from union glacier to the south pole and back... ..in a car made from rubbish. they want to show just how wasteful

it is to throw away plastic in the quantities that we do. this actually the raw material we use building the solar voyager. it is collected by children from the primary school. we call it "urban mining". they sort it, the waste plastics, on types, and they have cleaned it and made these chips out of it. what you see is that they are starting to feel more attached with the material, because they do not see it as waste, they see it as raw material for building the solar. the plastic shreds are melted into a filament for a 3—d printer. 30 of these have been working continuously for six weeks to produce a 4,000—piece of plastic jigsaw puzzle designed to fit together to make the shell, the interior and two trailers. to test the durability,

the couple took the vehicle to iceland in april. the pace looks slow and it is — four kilometres per hour, but they plan to drive the solar voyager during every hour of antarctic sunlight that's available which, at this time of year, is 24 hours a day. and so, in continuous shifts of three hours, they'll navigate some of the trickiest terrain on earth. wednesday the 28th of november — the solar voyager has arrived at base camp. after years of prep, its day one of the mission. we're heading for south pole. at the moment, with a speed of 2.5 knots nautical miles per hour. this is amazing.

this is super, super cool. the entire round trip could take 40 days, which means liesbeth and edwin should be on their way back from the south pole, when they get to celebrate a drastic but fantastic plastic christmas. climate predictions are based on solid data, some going as far back as a few hundred years. in reading at the national centre for atmospheric science, the old weather instruments are still in use alongside the modern ones. now, the reason that they're still using these pretty old—fashioned devices is for consistency. so you know the readings you're

getting today were measured in exactly the same way they were 100 or 150 years ago. supercomputers crunch sea, ice and dust data from past years and try to simulate the weather that occurred in each year. now it's been fine tuned to correctly reflect what's actually happened, researchers have started changing the environment and watching the effects. what we can do with the model is we can lower the temperature in this part of the world and see whether or not we still produce that many hurricanes. i'm assuming then you have done that, you have lowered the sea temperature to see how it affected the number of hurricanes, what happened? it certainly played a role, around half of the hurricanes happen because the sea surface temperature was up warmer that year. professor vidal also told me in the future tropical storms are predicted to originate further north, and importantly curve east and back towards europe. so that means that parts of the world that have never had to be hurricane—ready before will have

to start thinking hurricanes? yes, they do. but the search is on for cleaner, greener forms of energy. the most established alternative to burning fossil fuels is solar power, and lara has travelled to a very special island just off norway. we've travelled west now to 0st norway. it is so calm here. it is absolutely beautiful. but not far from here, the waves can reach up to three metres, and that's where we're heading because we're going to go and take a look at an island that is made up of solar panels, and the idea is that they need to fare ok whatever the weather. oh, thank you!

i've made it. wow, we're walking on water! these certainly aren't the first floating solar panels, but the innovation being tested here is the fabric itself, creating a cost—effective weather resistant material that could easily be scaled. there's talk of a setup near the equator the size of a football pitch. this has been designed to withstand wind, rain and ice. but round the edges, these barriers prevent any seawater from getting in. so while you can see i'm standing in a pretty large puddle right now, that's from last night's rain. what i'm actually standing on is less than 1mm thick, and it really feels it, it's quite hard to stay balanced. it's made from polyester coated in a polymer. what makes this polymer special is how lightweight yet strong it is, meaning its ideal for this type of installation. in the not too distant future, we think we can build systems

that are comparable with the so—called ground mount installations on land, and that will be a big breakthrough for floatable parks. because then you have suddenly large surface areas where you can build cheap, renewable energy very close to large consumer groups. and making use ofjust a fraction of the sea's vast surfaces area, as well as taking advantage of the water's ability to keep the panels cool, means that the scaling of this does seem plausible. the solar power being harnessed is being used here on this fish farm. now, the island has been developed to be the exact right size to harness the right amount of power in the summertime, that's presuming the weather's good. the rest of the year it's running on diesel, so obviously you can see the environmental benefits of this. but the suggestion is an island this size, if anchored in the london

area, could power 20 average uk homes. make the island the size of a football pitch, and that could rise to 200. but, of course, the investment needed is huge, so moving forward on this could prove more complicated than the proof of concept. that was lara in norway. you know, if you've seen the pixar film wall—e, you'll know that in the distant future, the earth gets covered in cubes of rubbish like this, mountains of these cubes and humanity has to leave. and at the moment, no matter how much recycling we do, i get the feeling that that future is getting more and more likely. something's gotta be done. see ya. good morning welcome

to breakfast with rogerjohnson and victoria fritz. our headlines today: police investigating the murder of british backpacker grace millane in new zealand say they've found a body.
