the east accompanied by wind and followed by bright spells, sunshine and showers. i'll be back with more ina and showers. i'll be back with more in a quarter of an hour. good morning. it's tuesday the 18th of december. our top story — plans to bring about an end to a "throwaway society" will be unveiled today by the government. every home in england would see a weekly food waste collection and packaging would have to be more clearly labelled to show if it can be recycled. here's our environment analyst, roger harrabin. the way we deal with waste is about to change. new rules will aim to end confusion over what can be recycled and what can't. the government says we need to use resources more wisely. scientists say we are all using too much of the planets resources , using too much of the planets resources, buying stuff and then just throwing it away. that in turn generates greenhouse gases that are overheating the earth. we have got to change this, say government,

local government, businesses, you and me. here is one solution, if who'd waste is collected separately and rostered in a tank, it gives a shrink of valuable gas and a load of soil fertiliser. investors want all households in the uk to be offered a food waste caddy took help in this process. what we need to do is make sure that that food waste is not go to landfill because that creates significant incremental harms and we wa nt to significant incremental harms and we want to avoid that. is only two separately blessed collection that we can ensure that we actually use that material in a way which is environmentally sensitive. and there is more. getting rid of waste imposes big cost on us all, governments want manufacturers of goods to pay the bill for disposing of them. bender uplands tuque tackle the curse of fly tipping by tracking the curse of fly tipping by tracking the movements of disposal firms with electronic systems. some of today's ideas are themselves recycled, industry has been fighting proposal for it fears of increased costs,

councils worry about that too. environmentalists praise today's strategy but want to see firm policies emerge from the coming series of consultations. roger harriban, bbc news. you can find out what waste your council recycles by going to bbc. co. uk/news/scienceandenvironment plenty more on that throughout the morning for you. downing street has describe jeremy corbyn's decision to table a motion of no confidence in the prime minister as "silly political games". the move by the labour leader came after theresa may told parliament it would not get to vote on her brexit deal until the middle of january. our political correspondent, jonathan blake is in westminster for us this morning. morning to you jonathan. it sounds like a little bit of a stand—off, there. yes, this is a bit like parliamentary chicken, after chewing and throwing, jeremy corbyn last i did tablea and throwing, jeremy corbyn last i did table a motion of no—confidence in prime minister. not in the

government, but in theresa may herself. under the rules, the government doesn't have to allow time for that to be debated or the vote to be held, so it is not going to. as you say, downing street describing this as a silly political game, effectively daring jeremy corbyn to go one step further and call a vote of no—confidence in the government, a more serious prospect which it would have to allow to happened. last night, jeremy corbyn was asked why he had not done that. we haven't failed to trigger any process, it is the government that is denying, at the right to have a vote on this process. that is why i tabled a motion i did today, that is why i made my statement and that is why i made my statement and that is why many mps of all parties made a statement they. it is of it is so incapable of bringing an issue before parliament, then you have to question its conference to be in government at all. jeremy corbyn biding his time because he knows he won't get one shot at that no—confidence vote which could trigger a general election. is a is

also of running down the clock and playing for time in parliament, effectively giving mps only a choice between her deal and leaving the european union with no deal. we will get more the sense later that how the government thinks it should be preparing for that, help urgently should be preparing for that, when it is discussed around the cabinet table at number ten downing st this morning. usually quite a quiet time of politics, this kind of years. morning. usually quite a quiet time of politics, this kind of yearsm you are engaged in politics it could be great, if not, it might not be. we'll be talking to the shadow health secretary, john healey about this in more detail at 7:40 this morning. pro—government forces in yemen say a ceasefire in the red sea port of hodeidah has been broken, minutes after it came into effect. houthi rebels and the saudi—backed government agreed to halt the fighting at united nations—sponsored talks in sweden last week. but a government official said there had been renewed fighting almost immediately to the east of the city where humanitarian aid is delivered. the bodies of two scandinavian

tourists have been found near a village in the high atlas mountains of morocco. the remains of the women — one from denmark, and the other from norway — were discovered close to the village of imlil. they were found in an isolated area on the way to north africa's highest peak, which is a popular trekking destination. it's a big week for retailers across the uk, just seven day's to go before christmas. is that right? it is. have you not done your shopping? there are a few last—minute moments that i will require. i am done. a bit of a wea kness require. i am done. a bit of a weakness there, but i have managed to, i have got a week ago. argued on? i haven't started. -- are you done? all of the sales are happening! last-minute makes you

decisive and that is my theory. ya jocks to buy whatever they have got. —— you jocks to buy whatever they have got. — — you have jocks to buy whatever they have got. —— you have just got to buy. absolutely fine there. we talk about christmas shopping people being done or not, it is not reflected in the numbers on the high street. it didn't get off to a great start, with online retailer asos saying it was struggling. they have had to half the prediction of their percentage growth in profits, to put it simply. how many times have we sat here and talked about the high street going down. the fact that they are selling less means two things, people did not see it coming but secondly, it has an impact on shares. fragile consumer pollitt picks and whether you follow

twists and turns of brexit it might have an impact on the way you think about your future or how confident you would feel. these companies are pointing to the fact that we have sales throughout the year, they are not waiting until november to buy items. in some ways, is good for us because it means prices are coming down but it does make companies at the more vulnerable. letter on we will talk to a consumer psychologist. stoecker that your theory to them that you will be more decisive. —— you should talk about your theory. thanks for that! that's 0k, go in the corner. they also mentioned the weather, didn't they? yes, because it has been slightly warmer we have not been panic. save it for christmas eve! and whatever

happens, it you do all of your buying and then you wait for the deliveries, don't you? why are you fanning yourself? laughter. deliveries are a big issue. people have had deliveries in bushes and bins. more than half of shoppers who ordered goods online during the christmas period last year, say they had a problem with a delivery. in a survey by consumer group which, issues included packages arriving late, being left in the bin, thrown over a fence, or even vanishing. we asked customers about their delivery woes. i have had problems where i used to live, parcels ending up in the bin. we had one delivery that left them in the bin. usually theyjust kind of leave it, a card to collect it no

one is home. they leave a card and say it is behind your porch, i have no back porch. so i looked at the card, went to the back of my house. is christmas and that is when you get a text saying that there is a delay and we will be with you between 3—5 working days and you get nothing else. we had a delivery of a box of wine and each had contain 12 bottles, when we open it it only had 11 in. and that one little of wine not there could ruin it! good morning sally. hi! the worse for me is when they put a note in your letterbox and say sorry, we can to deliver and you are not in, we are in the house!|j sorry, we can to deliver and you are not in, we are in the house! i have had parcels in the bin before, they write a note. surely they have got to have been there to put the thing through. one thing we will talk

about later is whatever happens, they have a job to do and you have got to be said. it you are so kind. -- civil. there are bigger issues to this, zero our contracts and the pressures put on them by their employers to make sure deliveries are done. a busy time, be nice. employers to make sure deliveries are done. a busy time, be nicelj employers to make sure deliveries are done. a busy time, be nice. i am feeling kind today because carol is in. she is outside. you seem to have arranged a whole battalion of welsh guards for carol. she brought chocolate in! and you try to up her by bringing in mince pies.|j chocolate in! and you try to up her by bringing in mince pies. i knew she was coming so i thought i'd better bring some goodies, this is like our christmas. what feels really weird is that for years from todayis really weird is that for years from today is the world cup final. that is bonkers, four years today! we are talking about christmas, but at that time you will be watching it on your

television. the fifa world cup final will take place in qatar on december 18th 2022. it's the first football world cup to be held in winter and we'll be live in doha at 7.30 to find out what it will look and feel like in the conservative islamic country. connorjennings scored twice, including this absolute stunner, for tranmere rovers as they beat southport 2—0 in an fa cup second round replay. they'll face premier league side tottenham next. anastasia dobromyslova failed in her bid to become the first woman to beat a man at the pdc world darts championship. the three time women's champion lost three sets to nil to ryanjoyce in their first round match. ireland will be without forward iain henderson when they defend their six nations title in february. the british and irish lion has had surgery on his thumb and will be out for a minimum of ten weeks. that sounds really, really saw.l

long time to be out for a thumb injury. -- long time to be out for a thumb injury. —— sore. crucial in life. we we re injury. —— sore. crucial in life. we were talking about carol, she is outside and then arranged for her to be out in the wind. carol has got men marching for her as well. you really are in control this morning. if only that were true! what a treat it is being here and a double treat because or two we are joined by. the magnificent and of the welsh guards. now, they are intrinsically linked with the royal family, now, they are intrinsically linked with the royalfamily, who now, they are intrinsically linked with the royal family, who often see them at the queen's birthday parade and changing the guards at windsor castle and also buckingham palace. they do look magnificent. i was asking them earlier about the bearskins because they are just lovely, they were saying the way they keep them in good nick is simply by giving them a good brush. the king of doing the same thing with my hair in a few minutes

because as you can see, it is pretty windy out here. the forecast for all of us today is that. a windy day for wherever you are and as well as that, we do have some rain in the cards. we be seeing more from the band of the welsh guards we go through this morning, performing for us through this morning, performing for us at seven and we will hearjingle bells. we have rain in the forecast, heavy rain at that and also gales. you can see why we have got two fronts, one has gone through us and the second one, is coming across us now bring heavy rain and strong wind. out towards the west in particular, the wind is gale force or gusting to gale force, moving inland it is very windy and through the day that rain is going to move from the west towards the east, getting into east anglia and the far south—east arch later in the day. as the rain clears away, behind it will start to brighten up initially in northern ireland and then western scotla nd northern ireland and then western scotland and you will see a few showers. these circles, black

circles, tell you the wind gusts. 35, 60, circles, tell you the wind gusts. 35,60, in circles, tell you the wind gusts. 35, 60, in excess of 60 with some exposure out to the west or even inland it will be gusty. another thing you'll notice is it is fairly mild, temperatures higher than they we re mild, temperatures higher than they were yesterday, looking at largely between 9— 11 or 12 degrees. as we had on through the evening and overnight you find that band of rain edging eastwards, clearing into the north sea, followed by a lot of showers coming in. some of those could be heavy, possibly thundery too. approach are wise, not a particularly cold night because there will be a third of cloud around. again we are looking into the centre of the country, three degrees but for most of us, seven or eight. as we start the day tomorrow, what of dry weather around but we will see showers going to the day, particularly again in southern areas through east anglia and out towards the west, but there are showers, we wa nt the west, but there are showers, we want all season, but some will merge

to create longer spells of rain. light wind on thursday means fewer showers across scotland, a few in the shout west we will see some in other parts of the uk, wales, south—west england and a few dotted around the south. again, to temperatures down. —— just a touch on what we have today. i must say chaps, it is lovely having the band of the welsh guards with us and we we re of the welsh guards with us and we were see more of an performing for us were see more of an performing for us to the course of this morning. looks brilliant, i cannot wait to hear them later. not until seven o'clock. noise pollution issues, they can march but cannot play. from seven o'clock they will be striking i seven o'clock they will be striking hey seven o'clock they will be striking up! they want a big buildup. can we do requests? what would you like? the beatles bitterly? why on earth ask for it? —— medley. the beatles bitterly? why on earth ask for it? -- medley. ignoring the christmas theme, ladies. you have

gone monochrome today's. we planned it. our stylist did it. let's start with metro. the metro says theresa may is pushing the brexit vote to the wire withjeremy corbyn accusing the prime minister of running down the clock by setting the date for the vote on her deal in mid—january. the daily express claims mrs may will urge cabinet ministers tomorrow to step up their preparations for a no—deal brexit. the picture at the top shows sir paul mccartney at the 02 last night where he was joined on stage by fellow beatle, ringo starr, and ronnie wood from the rolling stones. we will show you the picture in a bit. that's at the top, i thought you were referring to meghan markle! that's definitely meghan markle! politics may feel like a pantomime at the moment, so there's an irresistible image on the front of the guardian image of some visitors to downing street yesterday raising money for sick children. again leading with jeremy

again leading withjeremy corbyn's calls for a confidence vote. alongside reporting on brexit, the times splashes on alastair cook, who, the paper claims, will receive a knighthood in the new year honours, the first england cricketer to be given the award since ian botham in 2007. let's take a look inside some of the papers. talking about the news yesterday about asos predictions being down, but equally important, talking about plastic waste production, yorkshire gold brought out of teabags that did not use plastic, causing a storm over eco— teabags, they've been falling apart in the cup. there's nothing worse. your day can be ruined by... that and crumbs in your tea when you have dipped your

biscuit. that's why you need a formidable biscuit. you need a strong biscuit. for example? hobnob. hobnob is good. malted milk. and digestives are good. i'm going to start with football. the back pages are full ofjose mourinho after the champions league draw yesterday, they will face paris saint—germain, manchester united, quite a challenge for them. the mirror has a really interesting headline. they are trying to get jose interesting headline. they are trying to getjose sacked, they say, paul ince saying perhaps the players aren't so happy with jose paul ince saying perhaps the players aren't so happy withjose mourinho and they're aren't so happy withjose mourinho and they‘ re playing aren't so happy withjose mourinho and they're playing a way that will mean he won't be in thejob and they're playing a way that will mean he won't be in the job for much longer. the story i'm interested in this morning is on the front page of the daily telegraph sports section, you will both like this, georgia hall, british open winner, didn't make the sports personality of the year shortlist. naga, thoughts?

quite a few complaints about who wasn't in the six. you're never going to get it right, you? both dan andl going to get it right, you? both dan and i are keen golfers and follow the sport, but what georgia hall has doneis the sport, but what georgia hall has done is more than golf, women are achieving in sport. a brilliant achievement. i was disappointed the ryder cup team achievement. i was disappointed the rydercup team didn't... achievement. i was disappointed the ryder cup team didn't... it was brilliant the women's netball team made it. it was interesting how golf maybe doesn't get the votes. a lot of it is about where it is broadcast, the bbc has lost the rights to the gulf largely. and who has access to that. —— golf. rights to the gulf largely. and who has access to that. -- golf. there's not much cycling on terrestrial tv but they've won four out of the last ten. there's lots of cycling fans. day i engaged to vote and they are participating. what do you want to do? show us your surfing picture -- they are engaged. this is important all. on the atlantic coast,

christmas was coming. as a family, we was lifted this time. we enjoyed the second christmas a lot more than the second christmas a lot more than the first christmas because time's a good healer. it's taken joe and his two boys, lewis and oliver, long time to get to this point. maggie was ill for some years before she died. job's family have raised more than £100,000 for the charity blood wise since maggie's death. it will help to fund research and raise awareness of blood cancer, the third biggest cancer killer. your boys, you've managed to see them now, you must wonder what she'd make of it and how much you miss the fact she doesn't see any of it. that is my... that is a thing that plays on my mind. iwish that is a thing that plays on my mind. i wish she could see both these boys now. how mature babe had to be. they realise actually there's more to life than what they had

before —— more to life than what they had before — — how more to life than what they had before —— how mature they've had to be. when you hear from be. when you hearfrom people be. when you hear from people who are a little bit further down the line then you are, itjust gives you encouragement and a sense of hope that you can find life again. so what have you written to granny? dear granny, merry christmas. we missed money but i love you. love even. kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss —— mummy. a few weekends ago it was the first anniversary ofjenner going and he knew about it, he wasn't thinking about it in the same way we were, he grabbed my arm on the friday night and he said, dad, if you're feeling sad over the weekend, you canjust come and find me and i'll give you a big hug. ijust thought i don't think i would've got through this without you. it just think i would've got through this without you. itjust gives you a reason to live. he's my everything.

to tackle homelessnes. thames valley police is piloting a new scheme where people found with small quantities of illegal drugs will be urged to use support services, rather than being arrested. the force says that the three—month trial is aiming to reduce deaths, prevent reoffending and lower service demands. the approach will apply to all drugs, including the most dangerous class a substances. men in central london are more likely to be single than women, while the opposite is true in the outer boroughs. according to figures from ons, which have been analysed by a dating app for people over 50, more women are looking for a partner in places like bromley, harrow and elmbridge in surrey. i guess some of the reason for that would be single—parent families, more often the children might stay with the mother and the suburbs tend to be the areas that are better for families. so if raising a parent,

single mother, you might choose to stay in the suburbs. there are also suggestions it might be work—related too —— so if you're a single—parent. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, there's a good service but the overground has severe dalays from surrey quays to new cross and clapham junction. onto the roads, and farringdon street is closed between charterhouse street and ludgate circus for repairs to a burst water main. in central london, one lane is closed on the euston road towards kings cross between the euston underpass and euston station for roadworks. in grove park, baring road has temporary traffic lights near the train station for roadworks. now the weather, with lizzie. hello, good morning. today when the quite as nice as it was yesterday but it is still mild. plenty of cloud, a rather blustery day all in all with a very brisk and a noticeable south—westerly wind and they'll be rain later on in the date in the afternoon, some of that

turning rather heavy. we're starting off in double figures through the morning, very mild out there, lots of low, grey cloud perhaps some hints of brightness in the afternoon with a few dribs and drabs of rain out to the west at times and then the main rain brand is heading to the main rain brand is heading to the west as we go through the end of the west as we go through the end of the day. staying windy, top temperatures between 9—11. a very wet, very windy rush—hour home, this rain band pushing its way east was. it will clear behind it, shower tucking in as we head into tomorrow morning, some will be happy and a frost free start to the day tomorrow, again between 5—7. so tomorrow, again between 5—7. so tomorrow, some sunny spells and some showers, staying mild, saying quite breezy too. temperatures picked up again as we head towards the end of the working week. —— temperatures picked up again. hunting i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now it's back to dan and naga. bye for now.

hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and naga munchetty. it has just it hasjust gone it has just gone on 6:30am. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning — a bottle deposit scheme is one of the ideas being put forward by the government in england as it launches a new war on waste. but will it be any easier to understand what you can recycle wherever you live? it's the nightmare before christmas for online and high street chains, as share prices fall at a number of leading fashion labels. nina will have the latest on what promises to be a miserable end to the year for retailers. and wildlife cameraman gordon buchanan will tell us all about these orphaned grizzly bear cubs, making their way back into the wilds of russia. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. the government has unveiled proposals for every home in england to have a weekly food waste collection. as part of a new waste and resources strategy, packaging would be more clearly labelled to show if it can be

recycled, and producers would pay more towards the cost of disposing of the waste they produce. jeremy corbyn has tabled a motion of no confidence in the prime minister, after she told parliament it would not get to vote on her brexit deal until the middle of january. but the motion looks unlikely to be heard, with downing street sources saying the government will not go along with what it calls "silly political games". pro—government forces in yemen say a ceasefire in the red sea port of hodeidah has been broken, minutes after it came into effect. houthi rebels and the saudi—backed government agreed to halt the fighting at united nations—sponsored talks in sweden last week. but a government official said there had been renewed fighting almost immediately to the east of the city where humanitarian aid is being delivered. rules to make it easier for companies to run individual train services alongside existing franchises could come into force in the new year. the rail regulator says it wants to create more competition by making it easier to run

trains under so—called "open access" agreements. the office of road and rail says the contracts, which are in place in some parts of the rail network make tickets cheaper and improve services. the bodies of two scandinavian tourists have been found near a village in the high atlas mountains of morocco. the remains of the women, one from denmark, and the other from norway, were discovered close to the village of imlil. they were found in an isolated area on the way to north africa's highest peak, which is a popular trekking destination. more than half of shoppers who ordered goods online during the christmas period last year, say they had a problem with a delivery. in a survey by consumer group which, issues included packages arriving late, being left in the bin, thrown over a fence or even vanishing. we asked customers about their delivery woes.

—— tell us if you have had that experience too. the saying goes, that cats have nine lives, whether that's true or not, we've got a fine feline survival story for you this morning. this is two year old dexter, he came within a whisker of death after being shot at point blank range. left with a fractured jaw, and bits of shrapnel embedded in his face — he's overcome his injuries and has been named ‘survivor of the year‘ by the animal charity, the pdsa. well done dexter! let's find out what is happening with the sport. shall we go to survivor of the season? still there. the back pages of the newspapers are all focussing on the pressure that's building on manchester

united's jose mourinho. united have fallen 19 points behind liverpool in the premier league and the champions league draw has dealt them a tough hand, they'll play french league leaders paris saint—germain. but despite their troubles, united legend denis irwin thinks mourinho is the right man for thejob. we are obviously not playing very well at the moment, drawn lot of games, lost against liverpool at the weekend, but we have got fantastic layers, a manager who knows how to win competitions, knows how to win this competition. he has done it at porto and inter, by the time it comes around we will be looking forward to it. we are still a top side, difficult side to beat. interesting that he is so positive when lots of other former united players are not feeling as positive. over in the europa league last 32, celtic will play valencia for arsenal, it's bate borisov of belarus.

interestingly, and controversially given the rivallry, arsenal's home tie will kick off at 5 in the evening to avoid a clash with chelsea's game at 8 o'clock. fans aren't happy about that. but the club might be pleased to have avoided stronger competition. i know a lot of our fans will look and think the draw has been predicted for us. there has been some big sides we have steered clear of. which every side with respect, that all end of the right to be in the round of 32. we won't take any game easy and do our homework in events game easy and do our homework in eve nts co py game easy and do our homework in events copy all in all, probably at a —— probablya events copy all in all, probably at a —— probably a decent day. some of you may already be dreaming of your christmas dinner, but 4 years from today there'll be something else to look forward to. the world cup final takes place in qatar on december 18 2022. the european football season will grind to a halt as a result. concerns have also been raised about the treatment of workers building new infrastructure

for the world cup, with human rights organisations condemning labour practices in qatar. we'll be live from doha in an hour's time. connorjennings scored twice, including an absolute stunner, for tranmere rovers as they beat southport 2—0 in an fa cup second round replay. up next will be tottenham, but spurs could be in for a tough testjudging by the quality ofjennings' goals. his first a delightful volley. his second half strike was pretty special too, as he confirmed the league two club's place in the third round. look at that! now, former manchester united player zlatan ibrahimovic isn't known for being understated and he's made a very dramatic video to announce he isn't leaving la galaxyjust yet. let's have a look at it, oh no, we haven't got it. that is just in training. i will get that for you. the outspoken swedish star has scored 22 goals for la galaxy so far this season and has agreed to spend another year at the club. he has done his own promotional

video with lots of chat about could he go here, could he go there, and thatis he go here, could he go there, and that is just he go here, could he go there, and that isjust him he go here, could he go there, and that is just him standing there. he go here, could he go there, and that isjust him standing there.|j missed the whole remarkable what you have to say you are not going? why do you say you are just not going? that is exhausting. quite like trending. there will be a lot of people like me just going. trending. there will be a lot of people like mejust going. there trending. there will be a lot of people like me just going. there are a lot of zlatan ibrahimovic fans out there. they love him over their at la galaxy. ireland will be without forward ian henderson when they begin the defence of their six nations title in february. he could be out for up to 3 months after having surgery on his thumb. as well as most of the six nations, he'll miss a host of games for ulster, but he wants the injury cleared up before next year's world cup. anastasia dobromyslova has failed in her bid to become the first woman to beat a man at the pdc world darts championship in alexandra palace. the three time women's champion lost in straight sets to ryanjoyce in their first round match. the only other woman

in the competition, england's lisa ashton was also knocked out in the opening round last week. ready for some great teachers? —— pictures. now, we started this bulletin talking about the fifa world cup in qatar in four years time, but what about the footgolf world cup in morroco? wait until you see, look at that!|j wait until you see, look at that!” wish the holes were that big on the golf course. nobody would struggle there. we can proudly boast that foot golf came home and. —— came home. look at that! that is like ryder cup excitement. we can make another video. we can make another videom we can make another video. it was a sport report! it's like an say the

same. it was a sport report about something that had actually been happening. had he read his book? no. —— have happening. had he read his book? no. — — have that happening. had he read his book? no. —— have that you. — — have you. plans to tackle sexual harassment in the workplace are being unveiled by the government, as it looks to introduce a new code of conduct for employers. it says it will look at the use of non—disclosure agreements, which can be used to silence whistle blowers, as well looking into making employers legally responsible for preventing sexual harassment. and it will also consider tightening the laws on harassment by third parties, such as customers or contractors. we can talk to sarah evans, a partner at employment law. how is this going to change in terms of what we as workers see in the workplace? the proposals that have come out on the back of the report that was originally commissioned by

the human rights commission and the women's group within that, was highly typical of how we are not tackling sexual harassment in the workplace and it is still very prevalent. what the government has done is responded to that report with virtually a 5—point plan. done is responded to that report with virtually a 5-point plan. a lot of problem with this is that when it happens from the government is how it comes down into the workplace and how comfortable people feel and are aware of their rights and it still bea aware of their rights and it still be a comfortable environment and not a litigious environment. yes, and whether this all goes far enough we will wait and see. i had a look at the report and the headlines of it andi the report and the headlines of it and i think a lot of the reaction of what we are going to see is that is possibly a missed opportunity to really tackle this. it proposes certain things that will help, like a code of this, that we already have or things like grievances and disciplinary is and it gives employers real practical help with how to deal with that. that is

probably a really good move. but there is no change to penalties, it probably will change the third—party protection at it because that was very much watered down in 2013 and it has only recently been revisited at the court of appeal that has suggested, ok, we need to have a look at that again. in terms of practicalities, it is very difficult because we have such a problem with people not reporting and if you look at the statistics, they are really uncomfortable in terms of the percentage of women, 40% will say that they have expressed harassment at work, 18% of men say these figures are not small. do you think some of that is down to people not knowing what their rights are? yes, and also the practicalities of employers in terms of how to deal with it. some employers are brilliant and will have a zero tolerance and are very clear about

what the cultural expectations are in the workplace. i think the main problem is because harassment, of most kinds, but sexual harassment in particular, relying on a power differential and that fear that if i report this, what will happen? am i going to lose myjob? will lead the backlash? until we have that seek environment where it is not reliant on the individual to sort it out and currently it is weighted very much in that way, we're not not to be able to force a cultural change that we need to see so that we are not still having this conversation next year, as we have been, i am 11; years qualified and i am still giving the same advice and having the same conversations about people ‘s experiences. on a practical level, what do people need to know in terms of what is changing? there are time allocations for bringing issues up that are changing. potentially. there isn't a proposed change to

that at the moment, there is to be consultation with various regulating bodies, there is not an imminent change in the law but there is a proposal that the current three—month limit on the time you have to lodge a sexual harassment claim, or indeed any harassment claim, or indeed any harassment claim, is extended to six months precisely to try and move away from the litigation is the only way to remedy this and hopefully shift it into the workplace so that people have got more time to get the support they need to come forward and do not have too resort to tribunal is to resolve these issues. that is half of the problem would become so lengthy and so dramatic. sarah, thank you. it is 6:43 a.m.. if you have been watching the last few weeks, you would know that carol has been on a festive trip around the country, as part of carol's carol'. you the country, as part of carol's ca rol‘. you can the country, as part of carol's carol'. you can see it, she is over there. good morning with your brass

band behind you. how are you? bye for now. there. good morning with your brass band behind you. how are you? good morning, great to be here at salford quays this morning. behind me, the band of the welsh guards, we will hear from them later. band of the welsh guards, we will hearfrom them later. windy band of the welsh guards, we will hear from them later. windy this morning, just to gale force if not gale force itself in exposure and rain in the forecast. if you're travelling, bear that in mind. the rain is moving from west to east and you can see in the pressure chart we have a cold weather front moving west to east, but look at the isobars. that tells you that it's pretty windy, not just with exposure in the west but wherever you are. first thing we've got heavy rain coming in from the west, squally winds around it and it's going to continue to push eastwards. not getting into east anglia and the far south—east of england until much later. as it clears from the west, it will dry later. as it clears from the west, it willdry up later. as it clears from the west, it will dry up and brighton up across northern ireland, you will even see sunny spells but also a few

showers and then later on in western scotland, a similar story, it will start to brighten up and then we will see a few showers. windy wherever you are, the gusts of wind coming on in a second, with exposure in the west, 55 mph to 60—68 possibly, and this morning already we've had higher gusts than that in the isles of scilly and also with exposure in the western isles. temperatures today higher than yesterday. we're looking at 11—12, but tempered a touch by the strong wind. through the evening and overnight period, the weather front continues to drift towards the east, then surely clearing into the north sea, leaving a fair bit of cloud behind it and also some showers. some of those showers heavy and possibly thundery, especially in the west. a cool night in the central swathe of the uk with temperatures dipping down to about three, but generally we looking at seven or eight. tomorrow, lots of us will have a dry day, still quite breezy, still

showers in parts of the south and also the west and some of those will be heavy and thundery. temperatures if anything down a degree or so on what we're expecting today. that leads us into thursday, a similar day except for the winds across scotla nd day except for the winds across scotland will be lighter, so not as many showers for you. still some showers in parts of the west and south, but also a lot of dry weather and temperatures again around about 7—10. i promised to the band of the welsh guards would be performing for us and they will be at 7am, but at the moment we're going to watch them march and while doing that, i'm going to find major david barringer to have a wee chat with. good morning! good morning. you've been in the army for 30 yea rs, have you've been in the army for 30 years, have you been in the band for that long? i've been in bands for that long? i've been in bands for that long. ijoined the band of the coldstrea m that long. ijoined the band of the coldstream guards and i went off to bea coldstream guards and i went off to be a bandmaster and back with the welsh guards after several bands since may this year. how many members in the welsh

guards? 42 today, we got a few vacancies, any young people wanting tojoin us then vacancies, any young people wanting to join us then we've got a few spots still open. you performed in front of her majesty the queen and many members of the royal family, majesty the queen and many members of the royalfamily, is majesty the queen and many members of the royal family, is that nerve wracking? i'd like to think at this stage it's not nervous, but what we rodrigo duterte is you get that extra level of importance when you've got a member of the wild family —— but what we do is. we had prince william last week and that gives it an extra level of importance. the other thing i'm intrigued and amazed by is how you can march and play instruments at the same time, that must be so hard. it starts to come naturally, it's one of those things. our musicians join come naturally, it's one of those things. our musiciansjoin as musicians and then they go to training and they learn to march and then they go to training school at netherhall and they put it together. a pleasure to talk to you and we will continue to do so through the morning. in the meantime, naga and

dan, back to you. carol, you can hear the boots of the band, so impressive, i can't wait to hear them. posts 7am, the magnificent busby as well alongside you. —— magnificent busby as well alongside you. — — post magnificent busby as well alongside you. —— post 7am. bare skin or busby. what did you think was a busby? what do you think is a busby? i think of the little bt bird from the eighties. i have at confusion. we thought the high street was playing second fiddle to online competition, that is until asos, one of internet shopping's biggest players, issued a profits warning. so what's going on? nina has more on this. good morning. it's all about confidence. yes, this is all about those decisions we make all the time, "should i treat myself to these new clothes," "can i afford to get that new bit of furniture?" when we're making those choices we're thinking about whether we have enough money, but also how much money we think we'll have in the future, that's where consumer

confidence comes in. consumer confidence has been falling since the summer, according to one closely—watched measure. it's expected to fall again in december, we get the latest data on friday. why does that matter? consumer spending drives about 60% of the uk economy. so if consumers spend less it has a knock—on impact for economic growth. we can talk now to dr amna khan, a lecturer in consumer behaviour at manchester metropolitan university. nice to see you. we keep hearing a lot about how brexit is impacting consumer confidence, i can't work out for people that don't follow politics that closely, seeing the prime minister coming back from brussels looking disappointed, how does that translate to someone not buying a new top for the christmas do? consumer confidence is influenced by many things and one factor is political stability. if consumers feel they're in a political environment that is an stable they

will be uncertain about purchasing. that translates a lot to their personal spend because they will look at how bad influences them. how does it influence their wage packet in real terms? if that influences them they will think about whether they can spend the money. those decisions are influenced by political instability. evenif political instability. even if you're not following every twist and turn of the politics? we need to be aware of brexit being on the agenda sincejune, 2016. this isa on the agenda sincejune, 2016. this is a long time for consumers in their memory to get the same message about uncertainty, and at the end of the day, you had news from asos, which is a retailer that's been significant in the online market. traditionally the news we would hear is high street retailers are suffering, if an online retailer is suffering, if an online retailer is suffering it will shake the market more because consumers are thinking it's not just more because consumers are thinking it's notjust the high—street. sales, if we see a decent sale

happening once a month instead of twice a year we're going to be waiting for lower prices, aren't we? consumers have changed the way we shop and we know that from the recession in 2008, they are more savvy. we have the internet in our hand on mobiles, information available to us, consistently being told about deals and coupons. we are armed with information when we go to armed with information when we go to a retailer and look at their goods so we can compare it there and then. that means consumers make more decisions about price sensitivity, that's exacerbated... you've got organisations such as boohoo reporting they have been quite successful but they're selling clothes and a top and a skirt for £16. prices coming down is good for consumers? for consumers this is an important time because it has changed things for them. empowered? definitely empowered. pricing competition happening making it a

more favourable market. u nfortu nately more favourable market. unfortunately there are uncertain with what's happening with brexit. —— they are uncertain. before we go, what does last—minute shopping say about a person? you are really savvy, you're waiting for those deals. we know retailers are bringing boxing day sales forward , are bringing boxing day sales forward, so you're making the most of what's out there. there we go, naga! what does it say if someone claims it makes them more decisive? what about if someone says it makes them more that sizes, there's something in that, isn't there? consumers can control what they do more by the information they've got —— more decisive. they do more by the information they've got -- more decisive. there we go! sorted, thanks very much! i'm not quite sure! thank you very much, doctor. thank you to all those sending in pictures of various hats this morning as well. i seem to have confused myself. what did you think was a busby?”

i seem to have confused myself. what did you think was a busby? i think it was a busby. there's a difference between a busby and a bare skin and now i feel educated in my hat knowledge. pleased about that! watership down was arguably one of britain's greatest animation films, and left an entire generation in tears. it's up there! now a remake is coming to bbc one this christmas. i still remember when i watched it for the first time. charles phillips' party and i didn't sleep that night! the two—pa rt adaptation has an all—star cast, including star wars actorjohn boyega. breakfast‘s tim muffett caught up with john during production. i'm not letting you get to their. if you want to leave, go. watership down for a new generation. john boyega is the voice of bigwig. go now, captain holly, or we'll kill the lot of you. we should go back and kill caspian. we should kill the

lot of them. i was lot of them. iwas in lot of them. i was in there watching a lot of your recording, really interesting process. how does it compare to the other work you've done? it's tough because it's different from filming on set, you have to imagine whatever it is you have to imagine. there's a lot of running, lot of fighting. several different things don't make sense in the room. you've a nerve coming here... watership down, i remember seeing this when i was about six and i was traumatised i have to say by the original one. i vividly remember it. ijust remember original one. i vividly remember it. i just remember being original one. i vividly remember it. ijust remember being freaked out by it, just being these big rabbits with nails and black eyes and biting and scratching and blood. i'll settle you myself, bigwig. and scratching and blood. i'll settle you myself, bigwigl and scratching and blood. i'll settle you myself, bigwig. , and try, you slave driver! bennites posted be that. what i love about watership down is it's a... it mirrors of a story we

all it's a... it mirrors of a story we a ll love, it's a... it mirrors of a story we all love, get characters that don't fit in those circumstances and put them ina fit in those circumstances and put them in a situation bigger than themselves. the original was through animation and it still struck a chord. what then happens is when you add a tablet of the hyperreal cg to it. it's not live—action but it gives you an emotional turn like it feels like live—action. from promising young act two to the hollywood a lisp, star wars changed everything. this journey you've been on, what has it been like for you? —— a list. on, what has it been like for you? -- a list. star laws is always going to be great, being part of that, because you live for ever being in that kind of franchise. it's an opportunity for you to collaborate with everyone in the industry, as for me, pick and choose. one of my visions was always to come back to london theatre. i get the chance to

go back to my roots. you talk about your roots, you're from peckham in south london, do you feel different in anyway and do people treat you differently? last time i was there i went to the off—licence to get flaming hot monster munch and a pineapple drink. pretty normal! it's strange, in london i get congratulations and people keep on moving. i thought the paparazzi would be hiding in your bin bags. i thought that was how my life was going to be, you can't go out onto the street, following you around and people outside your hotel screaming your name. a bit disappointing it hasn't happened? no, it's great. i'm good with it! john boyega, who is going to be bigwig in watership down. i don't think it can be as scary as it was. it might be for the next generation. the red eyes still do it for me. it might be for the next generation. the red eyes still do it for mem was really scary! you can hearjohn boyega in the first episode of watership down on bbc one this saturday at 7pm, and the second episode on sunday 7:20pm. it will be interesting. we will talk

a lot more this morning, at 7:10am we have a big guest coming in to talk about the revolutionary changes the way our waste is being collected in england. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. labour has said it'll provide every rough sleeper with a place at a shelter during the cold weather if the party gets into government. figures from the bureau of investigativejournalism found at least 118 rough sleepers died in london in the past year. the government says it's investing more than £1 billion to tackle homelessnes. thames valley police is piloting a new scheme where people found with small quantities of illegal drugs will be urged to use support services, rather than being arrested. the force says that the three—month trial is aiming to reduce deaths, prevent

reoffending and lower service demands. the approach will apply to all drugs, including the most dangerous class a substances. men in central london are more likely to be single than women, while the opposite is true in the outer boroughs. according to figures from ons, which have been analysed by a dating app for people over 50, more women are looking for a partner in places like bromley, harrow and elmbridge in surrey. i guess some of the reason for that would be single—parent families, more often the children might stay with the mother and the suburbs tend to be the areas that are betterforfamilies. so if you're a single—parent, a single mother, you might choose to stay in the suburbs. i think there are some suggestions it might be work—related too. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, there's a good service but the overground has

severe dalays from surrey quays to new cross and clapham junction. onto the roads, and farringdon street is closed between charterhouse street and ludgate circus for repairs to a burst water main. in central london, one lane is closed on the euston road towards kings cross between the euston underpass and euston station for roadworks. in grove park, baring road has temporary traffic lights near the train station for roadworks. now the weather, with lizzie. hello, good morning. today won't be quite as nice as it was yesterday but it is still mild out here. plenty of cloud, a rather blustery day all in all with a very brisk and a noticeable south—westerly wind, and there'll be rain later on in the day in the afternoon, some of that turning out the be rather heavy. we're starting off in double figures through the morning, very mild out there, lots of low, grey cloud out there as well. perhaps some hints of brightness in the afternoon with a few dribs and drabs of rain out to the west at times and then the main rain band isjust

approaching from the west as we go through the end of the day. staying windy, top temperatures between 9—11. so a very wet, very windy rush—hour home, this rain band pushing its way eastwards. it'll clear, behind it showers tucking in as we head into tomorrow morning, some will be on the heavy side, and a frost—free start to the day tomorrow, again between 5—7. so tomorrow, some sunny spells and some showers, staying mild, staying quite breezy too. temperatures pick up again as we head towards the end of the working week. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now it's back to dan and naga. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and dan walker. our headlines today: a move to end a "throwaway society". plans to overhaul england's waste systems to make it easier to know "what" and "when" to recycle. jeremy corbyn's push for a vote

of no—confidence in theresa may over brexit is re—buffed, as the government calls it a stunt. christmas deliveries are under scrutiny, as new research suggests more than half of us aren't happy about the way our parcels are handled. a clampdown on the cost of overdrafts, regulators have just announced measures to make them more affordable, as a survey suggests over a third of us buy christmas presents on credit. more on that in a moment. in sport, it's 4 years to the day to the fifa world cup final in qatar. we will be there live this morning to see just what it might be like for the players and the fans. jingle bells plays good morning from salford quays, you have been listening to band of the british guard, we will hear from them more. weatherwise, a windy and wet day, that will be moving

eastwards through the baie—comeau writing in on the west with sunshine and showers at. i will all be back with more in a quarter of an hour. good morning. it's tuesday the 18th of december. our top story — plans to bring about an end to a "throwaway society" will be unveiled today by the government. every home in england would see a weekly food waste collection along with a returnable deposit scheme for bottles, cans and disposable cups. scotland and wales have already announced similiar plans. here's our environment analyst, roger harrabin. the way we deal with waste is about to change. new rules will aim to end confusion over what can be recycled and what can't. the government says we need to use resources more wisely. scientists say we are all using too much of the planets resources, buying stuff and then just throwing it away. that in turn generates greenhouse gases that are overheating the earth. it's got to change, say government,

local government, businesses, you and me. here is one solution, if food waste is collected separately and rotted in a tank, it gives a stream of valuable gas and a load of soilfertiliser. ministers want all households in the uk to be offered a food waste caddy to help in this process. what we need to do is make sure that that food waste is not go to landfill because that creates significant environmental harms and we want to avoid that. it's only through separate food waste collection that we can ensure that we actually use that material in a way which is environmentally sensitive. and there is more. getting rid of waste imposes big costs on us all, ministers want manufacturers of goods to pay the bill of disposing of them. then there are plans to tackle the curse of fly tipping by tracking the movements of disposal firms with electronic systems. some of today's ideas are themselves recycled, industry has been fighting proposals for fear of increased costs, councils worry about that too.

environmentalists praise the ambitions of today's strategy, but want to see firm policies emerge from the coming series of consultations. roger harriban, bbc news. you can find out what waste your council recycles by going to bbc. co. uk/news/scienceandenvironment i tell you what, all of this, we are so much more aware of, but christmas presents wires, lots of people will be getting recyclable cups and things like that and bottles, to stop people using their plastic cups. yes, stopping single use. exactly. downing street has describe jeremy corbyn's decision to table a motion of no confidence in the prime minister as "silly political games". the move by the labour leader came after theresa may told parliament it would not get to vote on her brexit deal until the middle of january. our political correspondent, jonathan blake is in westminster for us this morning. good morning to you once again,

jonathan. how are we looking at this this morning, a bit of a stand—off? yes, a bit of a this morning, a bit of a stand—off? yes, a bit ofa game this morning, a bit of a stand—off? yes, a bit of a game of parliamentary chicken in the house of commons last night. jeremy corbyn, after it doing and throwing, tabled a motion of no confidence in the prime minister, not the government but in theresa may herself. that has the potential to cause a bit of embarrassment, but nothing more really. it is not binding or a particularly powerful bit of parliamentary procedure. the government does not have to make time for it or allow it to happen and it is not going to. number ten saying that the ministers won't engage in silly political games. that des jeremy engage in silly political games. that desjeremy corbyn to go one step further and call a vote of no—confidence the government. that isa no—confidence the government. that is a much more significant move, which could trigger, if the government lost a vote, a general election and he was asked why he hasn't done that yet, last night. we haven't failed to trigger any process, it's the government

that is denying parliament the right to have a vote on this process. that is why i tabled a motion i did today, that is why i made the statement i did today and that is why many mps of all parties made a statement today. if this government is so incapable of bringing an issue before parliament, then you have call into question its competance to be in government at all. so, jeremy corbyn biding his time to make that move. he is accusing theresa may also playing for time, running down the clock to give mps that vote in mid—january when there is really very little time to choose between anything else other than her deal, or to be looking at the prospect of leaving the eu with no deal. we will get a sense of how urgently the government thinks we should eat preparing for that when the cabinet meets later on this morning. thank you very much, we will discuss that, number of politicians coming on later on this morning. we'll be talking to the shadow health secretary, john healey about this in more detail in about half an hour. rules to make it easier for companies to run individual

train services alongside existing franchises could come into force in the new year. the rail regulator says it wants to create more competition by making it easier to run trains under so—called "open access" agreements. the office of road and rail says the contracts, which are in place in some parts of the rail network, make tickets cheaper and improve services. the bodies of two scandinavian tourists have been found near a village in the high atlas mountains of morocco. the remains of the women, one from denmark, and the other from norway, were discovered close to the village of imlil. they were found in an isolated area on the way to north africa's highest peak, which is a popular trekking destination. pro—government forces in yemen say a ceasefire in the red sea port of hodeidah has been broken, minutes after it came into effect. houthi rebels and the saudi—backed government agreed to halt the fighting at united nations—sponsored talks in sweden last week. let's get more detail now from our middle east correspondent, martin patience who is beirut for us this morning. it seems not so long ago that i was

talking to our international editor about the hope that was around this deal, to bring some peace. but how that hope was just so fragile. fragile is the right word. what we have heard, reports overnight of sporadic clashes in that all—important sporadic clashes in that all—importa nt city. it sporadic clashes in that all—important city. it is a vital lifeline to the rest of yemen, two thirds of the country are in need of humanitarian assistance, so the fighting in that ought city affects the distribution of humanitarian assistance. ——— port city. we had sporadic clashes overnight although now we are hearing that there is relative quiet in the city. as you were saying, this ceasefire was agreed in that peace conference in sweden last week, it was actually weighed for several days because of fierce fighting. i think the international community will now be

hoping that we do see a period of calm over the next few days and the reason for that is this is seen as a confidence building measure. so if the ceasefire holds, it is understood that fighters are supposed to leave that city in the next few weeks. there is also supposed to be some sort of prisoner exchange between the warring parties. there is a lot to play for, but as you say, violations of this ceasefire, the situation in the yemen continues to remain incredibly fragile. indeed, fragile definitely the correct word. more than half of shoppers who ordered goods online during the christmas period last year, say they had a problem with a delivery. in a survey by consumer group which, issues included packages arriving late, being left in the bin, thrown over a fence or even vanishing. we asked customers about their delivery woes. i have had problems where i used to live, with parcels ending up

in the bin. we had one delivery firm that left them in the bin, which struck me as a bit strange. usually theyjust kind of leave it, a card to collect if no one is home, which usually there is. they leave a card and say it is behind your porch, i have no back porch. so i looked at the card, went to the back of my house. there's nothing there. it's christmas you get a text saying that there is a delay and we will be with you between 3—5 working days and you don't get nothing else. we had a delivery of a box of wine and it should have contained 12 bottles, when we opened it, it only had 11 in. the time now is ten minutes past seven. we are taking a look at the government, which has unveiled plans ofa government, which has unveiled plans of a major shakeup of the rules that govern waste and recycling in england. they say their strategy will encourage households to be more environmentally friendly by making it easier to recycle. under the new plans food waste will be collected from homes

in england once a week. the government will also trial a deposit return scheme on things like bottles, cans, and disposable cups. things won'tjust be changing for consumers, businesses will have to pay 100% of the cost of disposing or recycling the packaging they produce. businesses will also be encouraged to develop packaging which makes it easierfor consumers to know what is recyclable. we're nowjoined by gudrun cartwright, who works for a charity helping businesses to be more environmentally friendly. thank you very much for coming on this programme and talking about this. what might these changes mean for businesses? i think that if it keating that these changes mean is that the government is starting to put the resources and what we do with the resources at the front end, rather than thinking just about waste. how do we designed the products that we use, how do we make packaging more easy to dispose of at

end of life and had we think about the value we can get from resources, rather than just the problem the value we can get from resources, rather thanjust the problem of waste that we need to manage at the end of life. i think as kim -- consumers and customers, there is a desire to make a difference, certainly over the last few months, it has been far more part of the general day—to—day conversation. using businesses are sharing that and there is a sense of responsibility that something needs to be done? absolutely. we have responsible business networks, so all members are very aware of the responsibilities for environmental and social challenges that we face asa and social challenges that we face as a society. we work quite closely with a lot of businesses and you can see starting to make significant moves in terms of what they do, across the whole spectrum. if you think about the opportunities that there are as well, businesses could say a across the uk —— says across the uk, more than £7 billion if they

look at energy resources more efficiently. offices, companies could save up to £4000 per year per employee by doing things differently and helping customers to do the right thing as well. wouldn't there be cost in other areas and are they prohibited in businesses thinking i cannot afford to make these changes? an interesting question and i think what we find, actually, is that the cost savings are much more. so, if you look at the opportunity, if i think about a services company, they use, they recycle 90% of their waste and have saved millions of pounds. that is a benefit for the business andi that is a benefit for the business and i think being able to do things ina and i think being able to do things in a different way creates opportunities. things like the resource and waste strategy, the

initiatives they are putting in place will hopefully spur great innovation. so when other businesses say this will cost too much, are they sort of trying to put the walls up, are they making illegitimate claims here, why do they say it will be costly? i think sometimes it is not necessarily understanding the opportunities that are there. so, we as environmentalists are quite good at saying everything is bad, we need to be less bad, but what we are trying to get around to it is saying there are huge opportunities here. if you think about the potential for youtube find new customers who are looking for companies that are doing the right thing, to develop new market opportunities, it is there. it is just moving from, this is at the heart of the shattered, moving from a risk and cost mindset potentially, to an opportunity and

how can we create better... what is a practical change that somebody could make a smack us an idea. —— could make a smack us an idea. —— could make? if you look at what nestle have done, they have stopped sending waste to landfill, thinking about where you can buy renewable energy, where you can cut water from your operations at. if i look at what we do, a business in the community, relatively small, we, all of our food raced community, relatively small, we, all of ourfood raced goes community, relatively small, we, all of our food raced goes to recycling, compost to local schools. —— food waste. our carpets are made of recycla ble waste. our carpets are made of recyclable fishing, renting and copy paper, sorry, our secure shredded get sent to be made back into paper that we read by. i know here at the bbc, get a great stuff to go single use plastic is free, there are

simple things that cut —— companies can do. tops in the canteen going to reusable ones, or inking about putting just a security on the photocopier so that you have to think about what is coming out. —— thinking about. if everybody makes those small changes imex a big difference. if you look at our fridge there are no plastic bottles, all old milk bottles, going back to last. absolutely. we are huge believers in focusing on the positive and encouraging businesses to do the right things. —— glass. at the end of last month we held a waste summit, all of that saying how can we use these opportunities to accelerate prosperity for uk businesses and society? we have got more than 80 companies now signed up to that, some of the biggest brands in the country, thinking about how can we double resource productivity and eliminate waste by 2030 which is

saying that we could do it a lot faster than we think at the moment. there is a lot to play for, really exciting opportunities. thank you very much. i ensure that has given new 20 things to think about this morning. talking about milk and he needs me think i should make carol brew this morning. outside our offices in salford and has serious musicians with hurt by carol's carol was. good morning. good morning. that is a mighty fine idea, so don't hold back. milky with quite a weak tea and chilli. this morning we're outside, we've got the band with us, the welsh guards, their magnificent —— actually. dan was earlier talking about busby bees and their skins, the welsh guards are wearing their skins, buzz bees are smaller and shorter and they perform in front of

the queen. they are at trooping the colour and changing of the guard —— buzz bees very windy, the strongest winds are with exposure in the west where we've had gusts in excess of 70 mph already. rain with those gusts and also gales towards the west. wherever you are, even inland, pretty windy today. we have a weather front coming our way. pretty windy today. we have a weatherfront coming our way. it's already produced heavy rain in northern ireland, scotland, western england and also wales, the isobars tell you it's windy with it and the whole lot will be drifting east as we go through the day. for many it's a dry start to the day, fairly cloudy, the rain already in the west, moving eastwards. quite squally around some of the heavy rain this morning and it will continue to move to the east,

getting into east anglia and the south—east last. gusts in the west, as you can see, between 55—68/70 mph. behind the rain, brightening up initially in northern ireland with a few showers in western scotland. temperatures today higher than they have been, roughly between nine and 12 degrees. as we head on through the evening and overnight, the rain continues to advance towards the east, eventually clearing into the north sea, leaving a fair few showers in its wake and a lot of cloud. a cold night in the central swathe of the uk with temperatures falling to around three but generally, eight or nine. tomorrow we start off on that cloudy note. tomorrow there will be a fair few showers in the south and also in the west. some of them will merge to give longer spells of rain and some will be heavy and also thundery. temperatures down a touch on today bya temperatures down a touch on today by a couple of degrees, highs of maybe ten or 11. as we move into

thursday, the winds will be lighter across scotland, not as many showers for you but further showers in the west per se and also we'll see a few getting down into the south, but more dry weather on thursday compared to the next couple of days and temperatures again in the range roughly from about 9—11. dan and naga, i must say, i'm so looking forward to hearing the band play again and we will hear them again in half an hour. we're looking forward to it as well. thanks, carol. very interesting information being sent to me about buttons. how do you tell the difference between different regiments of foot guards? it's about the grouping of the buttons on the jacket. welsh guards have groups of five on their uniform, irish guards, four, scots guards, groups of three and coldstrea m guards, groups of three and coldstream guards, groups of two. that's how you know the difference. you learn something new everyday!” thought you'd be interested! are you

interested about overd rafts? thought you'd be interested! are you interested about overdrafts? yes! we often talk about lots of charges. nina is going to talk to us about it. we can talk to you about buttons if you like! lots has been spoken about bank charges in general and how much we know about them and how clearly they are flagged up. we know banks make a fortune from overdrafts. in 2017, they made more than $2.4 —— overdrafts. in 2017, they made more than $2.4 -- £2.4 overdrafts. in 2017, they made more than $2.4 —— £2.4 million from overdrafts. more than a quarter is from and arranged overdrafts, where you haven't planned to do it and often people who have that are from under privileged areas. the most interesting measure brought in is they are going to consolidate all kinds of fees and debts so you won't be paying less but you will know where you stand a bit more. if you pay 2% per month, you can

financially plan better than incurring debts every day or week. the second thing is they will be a set of digital tools and awareness of other overdraft facilities out there, incumbent on the lender to let you know about that. the same rate between an arranged and an arranged overdraft as well. what will be in pack of that the? -- an i will put that to the fca later. the onus will be on lenders to keep an eye out for anyone repeatedly behaving in a way that sees them get out of their depth financially and then intervene helpfully. we will be speaking to the fca? in about 20 minutes. thanks, nina, i made notes on all of that! this year on breakfast we've been keeping in touch with tv presenter simon thomas, he lost his wife, gemma suddenly to acute myeloid leukaemia just before last christmas.

the festive season is always difficult for grieving families, but there is help and support out there. brea kfast‘s graham satchell has been to meet simon, and his son ethan. what are you looking forward to most about christmas? mmm, seeing family. ijust remember thinking, "i don't want to do christmas at all, if i could fast forward past this." it was literally a month after gemma died, it was days after her funeral and suddenly you're into the festive season. simon is a former blue peter and sky presenter. his wife, gemma, died in november last year, just three days after being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia. hi, how are you? good to see you. come in. thank you. a charity, bloodwise,

has arranged for simo to meet joe coleman, whose wife died from blood cancer three years ago. the first christmas was really tough. there was joy, but a sense of there's something missing. yeah. but the second year i was quite excited, christmas was coming. as a family, we was lifted this time. we enjoyed the second christmas a lot more than the first christmas because time's a good healer. it's takenjoe and his two boys, lewis and oliver, long time to get it's takenjoe and his two boys, lewis and oliver, a long time to get to this point. maggie was ill for some years before she died. joe's family have raised more than £100,000 for the charity bloodwise since maggie's death. it'll help to fund research and raise awareness of blood cancer, the third biggest cancer killer. your boys, if maggie was to see them now, you must wonder what she'd

make of it and how much you miss the fact she doesn't see any of it. that is my... that is a thing that plays on my mind. i wish she could see both these boys now. how mature they've had to be. they realise actually there's more to life than what they had before. when you hearfrom people who are a little bit further down the line then you are, itjust gives you encouragement and a sense of hope that you can find life again. so what have you written to granny? dear granny, merry christmas. we missed mummy, but i love you. love ethan. xxxxx. a few weekends ago it was the first anniversary of gemma going and he knew it was the year

anniversary but he wasn't thinking about it in the same way we were, and he grabbed my arm on the friday night and he said, "dad, if you're feeling sad over the weekend, you can just come and find me and i'll give you a big hug." ijust thought i don't think i would've got through this without you. itjust gives you a reason to live. he's my everything. without him, i don't know what life would like now. simon thomas are speaking to our reporter, graham satchell. —— simon thomas are speaking to our reporter, graham satchell. —— simon thomas speaking to our reporter, graham satchell. details of organisations offering information and support with bereavement are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline, or you can call for free, at any time to hear recorded information on 08000158 707. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. wheel see you shortly. —— wheel see

you shortly. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. labour has said it'll provide every rough sleeper with a place at a shelter during the cold weather if the party gets into government. figures from the bureau of investigativejournalism found at least 118 rough sleepers died in london in the past year. the government says it's investing more than £1 billion to tackle homelessnes. thames valley police is piloting a new scheme where people found with small quantities of illegal drugs will be urged to use support services, rather than being arrested. the force says that the three—month trial is aiming to reduce deaths, prevent reoffending and lower service demands. the approach will apply to all drugs, including the most dangerous class a substances. men in central london are more likely to be single than women, while the opposite is true in the outer boroughs. according to figures from ons, which have been analysed by a dating app for people over 50, more women are looking for a partner in places like bromley,

harrow and elmbridge in surrey. i guess some of the reason for that would be single—parent families. more often the children might stay with the mother and the suburbs tend to be the areas that are betterforfamilies. so if you're a single—parent, a single mother, you might choose to stay in the suburbs. i think there are some suggestions it might be work—related too. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, there's a good service but the overground has severe dalays from surrey quays to new cross and clapham junction. onto the roads, and farringdon street is closed between charterhouse street and ludgate circus for repairs to a burst water main. you can see on the camera there looking very quiet indeed. in central london, one lane is closed on the euston road

towards kings cross between the euston underpass and euston station for roadworks. now the weather, with lizzie. hello, good morning. today won't be quite as nice as it was yesterday but it is still mild out there. plenty of cloud, a rather blustery day all in all with a very brisk and a noticeable south—westerly wind, and there'll be rain later on in the day in the afternoon, some of that turning out the be rather heavy. we're starting off in double figures through the morning, very mild out there, lots of low, grey cloud out there as well. perhaps some hints of brightness in the afternoon with a few dribs and drabs of rain out to the west at times and then the main rain band isjust approaching from the west as we go through the end of the day. staying windy, top temperatures between 9—11. so a very wet, very windy rush—hour home, this rain band pushing its way eastwards. it'll clear, behind it showers tucking in as we head into tomorrow morning, some will be on the heavy side, and a frost—free start to the day tomorrow, again between 5—7. so tomorrow, some sunny spells and some showers, staying mild, staying quite breezy too. temperatures pick up again as we head towards the end of the working week.

i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now it's back to dan and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and naga munchetty. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. the government has unveiled proposals for every home in england to have a weekly food waste collection. as part of a new waste and resources strategy, packaging would be more clearly labelled to show if it can be recycled, and producers would pay more towards the cost of disposing of the waste they produce. jeremy corbyn has tabled a motion of no confidence in the prime minister, after she told parliament it would not get to vote on her brexit deal until the middle of january. but the motion looks unlikely to be heard, with downing street sources saying the government will not go along with what it calls

"silly political games". pro—government forces in yemen say a ceasefire in the red sea port of hodeidah has been broken, minutes after it came into effect. houthi rebels and the saudi—backed government agreed to halt the fighting at united nations—sponsored talks in sweden last week. but a government official said there had been renewed fighting almost immediately to the east of the city where humanitarian aid is being delivered. daily and monthly overdraft charges will be abolished. the financial conduct authority says overdrafts we re conduct authority says overdrafts were a dysfunctional market that need to be sorted out, it also said that extra charges for unarranged overd rafts would go. rules to make it easier for companies to run individual train services alongside existing franchises could come into force in the new year. the rail regulator says it wants to create more competition by making it easier to run trains under so—called "open access" agreements.

the office of road and rail says the contracts, which are in place in some parts of the rail network, make tickets cheaper and improve services. more than half of shoppers who ordered goods online during the christmas period last year, say they had a problem with a delivery. in a survey by consumer group which, issues included packages arriving late, being left in the bin, thrown over a fence or even vanishing. must be frustrating. it is also part of that mild panic you get if you left your christmas shopping late, it will be turning up. nina has not done has. -- hers. i have got some in the post as we speak. sally? you are organised. i have bought sellotape. you brought in home-made mince pies today. you didn't make

them, did you? clearly home bought, fresh out of the other last night. you have not had one yet, have you? i have no chance because they are very hungry out there this morning and the team will be devouring them. i will bring them in. this time, for years from now, what will you be doing? planning christmas shopping, cleaning christmas dinner was mac no. i am genuinely staggered by this. —— christmas dinner? some of you may already be dreaming of your christmas dinner, but 4 years from today there'll be something else to look forward to. the world cup final takes place in qatar on december 18 2022. our correspondent richard conway is in doha, soaking up the atmosphere. richard, you've been in the country for a few days now so what can the fans and players expect? good morning. there will be no mince pies, ican good morning. there will be no mince pies, i can tell you that. the first winter world cup. we are a week away

from christmas and in four years time this will be a hive of activity. i am on the shoreline in doha, that is the gleaming west bay area of the city, behind me are where a lot of hotels are and were a lot of fans will base themselves. they will get a compact world cup. qatar is about the size of yorkshire, to get it comparison, the smallest country to ever post a world cup. eight stadiums in total and tomorrow they will host a metro system that will be able to take fa ns system that will be able to take fans around in 20 minutes to the furthest south stadium, 30 minutes from the one furthest north. a very different world cup, the first in the middle east and the first in an islamic country. the questions will be can fans get a beer, but they will be restricted, in hotels and fan as. the organisers emphasising this will be a family friendly world cup, a chance forfans

this will be a family friendly world cup, a chance for fans from this will be a family friendly world cup, a chance forfans from europe and britain to experience a different size to do other world cup. we have been talking to the man who is organising all of this, this is what he has had to say about what this world cup will mean. is an opportunity for people to experience us, the arabic culture and the rich heritage and culture that we have to offer. that is what i think the world cup really offers you. is an to bring people together, an opportunity —— opportunity to appreciate our commonality and common humanity. also this country has faced quite a lot of criticism since winning the bid, is it justified? it faced criticism on many different levels of. first of all there was theissue levels of. first of all there was the issue of the heat, it was going to be played injune and july, but it is 45 celsius at times during that period. they have moved it to winter, about 25 degrees, a very

nice british summers day at the moment. the heat was one issue, that has been handled because they have moved it, it didn't please everybody but they have come to an agreement with the leagues and the clubs. then of course there was issue is over allegations of corruption, the authorities strenuously denied that is the case of. then on to labour rights, where the builders here and the main building the infrastructure are getting a fair deal or have they been exported? are getting a fair deal or have they been exported ? there are getting a fair deal or have they been exported? there has been reforms in that area in recent months, the human rights groups and trade unions have cautiously welcomed the progress. the organisers recognise there is more to achieve on that, that that process has not ended. those are just some of the areas around this world cup, it is controversial and has had issues we are now moving into a phase away from the existential threats to this tournament, there seems to be a growing self—confidence in qatar and

those problems have been handled and they are looking at delivering this world cup and trying to tell fans exactly what they can expect in all yea rs exactly what they can expect in all years time. —— four years time. can't wait to hear that. as he said, about 25 degrees? not too bad. that will be nice here. marvellous, it will be nice here. marvellous, it will involve a break in the premier league. do you know who really wants a break at the moment? the next chap. jose mourinho. united have fallen 19 points behind liverpool in the premier league and the champions league draw has dealt them a tough hand, they'll play french league leaders paris saint—germain. but despite their troubles, united legend denis irwin thinks mourinho is the right man for thejob. we are obviously not playing very well at the moment, we've drawn lot of games, lost against liverpool at the weekend, but we have got some fantastic layers, we've got a manager who knows how to win competitions, knows how to win this competition. he has done it at porto and inter, and by the time it comes around we will be really looking forward to it. we really will be. we are still a top side,

difficult side to beat. over in the europa league last 32, celtic will play valencia and chelsea face swedish side malmo. for arsenal it's bate borisov of belarus. interestingly, and controversially given the rivalry, arsenal's home tie will kick off at 5pm to avoid clashing with chelsea's game at 8 o'clock. fans aren't happy about that. but the club might be pleased to have avoided stronger competition. also some real issues about climate and workers rights and those things. workers rights, women's rights and those will continue. thank you very much for that for the moment. returning to one of our top stories

of the day: no sooner had jeremy corbyn tabled a motion of no confidence in theresa may, then number 10 moved to dismiss the vote, saying ministers would not go along with playing "silly political games". what we want to talk about now is this labour party pledge, can you tell us about that? we have a rising homelessness price -- crisis we have a rising homelessness price —— crisis that has risen every year since 2010, we have an emergency now, people are dying homeless, and not just now, people are dying homeless, and notjust in big cities but towns like peters broke, maidstone, barnsley. what is needed it now is extra emergency shelter as the weather gets extremely cold. —— peters bra. and helping people to keep up the streets of —— peters

—— peterborough. it beggars belief that it —— peterborough. it beggars belief thatitis —— peterborough. it beggars belief that it is not required and it beggars belief that the government does not know what areas required as emergency support and which don't because they do collect information. this is a national crisis, it requires government to step up and thatis requires government to step up and that is what we are proposing today. if we did this, it would save lives this winter as it gets very cold.” am sure lots of people are mindful of those who are homeless at the moment. thank you for telling us about that. i cannot have your this programme and not talk to you about what is going on at the house of commons at the moment. jeremy corbyn has called for a vote of no confidence in the prime minister, what is he hoping to achieve because of course, we had the conservative pa rty‘s own of course, we had the conservative party's own motion of no—confidence, which the prime one. —— prime minister won. the frustration for

me, leading on housing, of course, it is failing on brexit, housing crisis, the nhs, real problems, which is what people know and notice well beyond westminster. we this week have been trying to push to get the vote in parliament that the prime minister promised before christmas on her brexit deal and it is not just labour calling christmas on her brexit deal and it is notjust labour calling for that, mps of all parties including her own. that was behind our device or technique of the notice of motion in the prime minister. that call came after the prime minister said it will be the week of january 14, what is the point of this vote of no confidence in the prime minister? the result of it is if you succeed, you have a new leaderfor the conservatives, who do you want that to be, what is the plan? no, this is about pushing for the vote that has been promised. the week of the 14th of january it is

been promised. the week of the 14th ofjanuary it is happening. and we signalled this before the prime minister was pushed into an outing that. —— announcing. mps of all parties, not just labour, that. —— announcing. mps of all parties, notjust labour, has said we are losing a month as brexit loomed and we risk the country getting trapped between a bad deal, which she has negotiated, and no deal because she is delaying the vote, running scared from parliament and delaying it to the point at which if it is defeated, parliament can step in and help shape what happens next. the snp, the liberal democrats, have asked later to take a lead in pushing for a vote of no confidence in government. byjust doing this for the prime minister of this vote of and not the government, there is an accusation that labour looks weak at the moment and i'm willing to use stick its neck out. —— unwilling. —— to stick its next out. —— neck out.

we are trying to hold the promise that to a count and it is a question of when, not if, when we lodged a vote of no—confidence in the government. will be a point where the people can see the government not only failing on brexit, but failing homelessness on our streets, the crisis in social care, the crisis in real wages which have been falling for the last eight years. you are saying that a motion of no—confidence in the government come after what? defeat on the 14th of january, if that is what happens on the prime minister ‘s brexit deal? we will do it when we judge the time is right, but make no mistake, if the government fails to carry their deal by whatever margin, it will be a huge defeat on the central purpose of this government, which has been to deliver a deal on brexit and when it is failing on all other fronts as well, don't be surprised if the call

for a general election, the case for a vote of no confidence in the government grows much stronger. john healy, shadow housing secretary, thank you for talking to us. apologies for my rogue sneeze, it came out of nowhere! carol's continuing her festive trip around the country as part of breakfast‘s special series carol's carols. it took a long time to get that name. a lot of planning. this morning she is in salford quays with a marching band who will be playing some of our christmas favourites. the band of the welsh guards. sorry, carol, i ruined your introduction! no, you haven't, dan! the first time i've had my name in lights! if you wa nted i've had my name in lights! if you wanted tojoin i've had my name in lights! if you wanted to join the band, i've had my name in lights! if you wanted tojoin the band, you i've had my name in lights! if you wanted to join the band, you would have to audition as a musician and bea have to audition as a musician and be a member of the british army, then the army will train you in their music school. we're talking weather first thing. this

their music school. we're talking weatherfirst thing. this morning, very windy with gusts 75 mph in the western isles in the last hour. the forecast is one of rains and gails, the gales especially with exposure in the west. what's happening is we have a weather front from the west, producing heavy rain and travelling eastwards of through the day. if you look at those isobars, that tells you wherever you are it's going to bea you wherever you are it's going to be a windy day. this morning for many it's starting off dry, a fair bit of cloud around, rain moving across northern ireland, scotland, western england and wales. that rain is heavy in places with squally winds around it and it will continue to go eastwards, getting into east anglia and the farce out east of england later in the day. but hide it, brightening out with —— far south—east of england later in the day. but behind it,

brightening up. inland, gusts of 60 or 70 mph. today's temperatures are higher than yesterday. again, roughly between ten and 12. in the wind, especially outside, it feels chilly. through the evening and overnight, our band of rain continues to push east, eventually clearing into the north sea, leaving cloud and showers behind. some of the showers will be heavy and thundery and it's going to be cold in the central swathe of the uk with lows of three, but elsewhere, 6—8. tomorrow, we start on a fairly cloudy note, but it will brighten up, quitea cloudy note, but it will brighten up, quite a bit of dry weather around tomorrow with sunny spells, but also some showers in the west and the south and some of those will still be heavy and thundery with temperatures down a couple of degrees on what we're expecting today. thursday across scotland, well, the winds fall lighter, so not as many showers for you, more dry weather on thursday but we will have

showers in parts of the west and the south with temperatures very similar to what we're looking at through the course of tomorrow. so, i promised you a musical treat, that's exactly what you're going to get. band are going to play the most wonderful time of the year —— the band. david, take it away! most wonderful time of the year plays ‘most wonderful time of the year' plays

that was brilliant! that was brilliant! oh, what a treat! thank you very much for that, carol. more from carol's carols a little bit later on. it felt like... the most wonderful time of the year! feels like a sports show in the 19705, a touch of the grandstands. ok! you know what i mean, the whole brass band feel. i loved it. ijust loved

it. i'm sure you agree with me, some of you agree with me out there. something important this time of year, something important this time of yea r, overd rafts, you something important this time of year, overdrafts, you teetering on the brink? there are plans to change overdraft charges, regulators are trying to make them less expensive. nina's got more on this. charges and sometimes a 5cupper you of the month like this. —— charges that sometimes a 5cupper you at the time of the month like this. this is when you go into the red on your bank account. you're effectively borrowing money from your bank to do that, and so they usually charge you for it. we know bank5 made over £2 billion from overdrafts in 2016 and the hardest—hit customers pay as much as £450 a year in charges. that's important particularly at this time of year, when a lot of us see your finances stretched pretty thin. a survey out this morning says almost one in four of us will put some of our christmas spending on credit, that might be an overdraft, a loan or a credit card.

christopher willard i5 christopher willard is from the financial conduct authority, he's been part of the measures announced this morning. good news in terms of we know where we stand with our overdraft but some charities hoped there would be a cap on the amount of interest paid, like we've seen on by two own purchases. why hasn't that happened ? by two own purchases. why hasn't that happened? we're looking at the mo5t that happened? we're looking at the most radical set of interventions in the overdraft market for a generation. what we're trying to do i5 generation. what we're trying to do is have a package of measures that gets to the heart of the harm we see here, and the biggest arm5 gets to the heart of the harm we see here, and the biggest arms are around an arranged overdrafts, where you haven't an arrangement with your bank or you exceed unarranged overdraft limit5 —— biggest harms are around unarranged overdraft is. it can be 10% each day —— unarranged ove rd rafts. it can be 10% each day —— unarranged

overd rafts. the it can be 10% each day —— unarranged overdrafts. the measures with looking forward, we think the cost will fall to 20p per day. there will bea cap will fall to 20p per day. there will be a cap on that that will be brought in line with arranged ove rd rafts, brought in line with arranged overd rafts, i5 brought in line with arranged overdrafts, is there an argument that says that will lead to more irresponsible spending? if you're conscious there's a higher fifi if you go in accidentally, it will rain you go in accidentally, it will rain you ina you go in accidentally, it will rain you in a bid and without that people will spend more irresponsibly. —— rain you in a bit. we don't think that will happen. it's worth remembering, although people talk about this being an arranged, the vast majority of transactions are approved by the bank as they happen in real—time —— unarranged. we say there's real harm here, it is caused bya there's real harm here, it is caused by a mixture of the high fixed fees, which we are proposing to ban, and also the fact there's a real differential between an unarranged overdraft, which often costs ten time5 overdraft, which often costs ten times or more the rate of a normal overdraft. we want to align tho5e

prices. we're waiting to hear the banks' reaction but they have to provide services, cash machines and shops to be open and we hear from our audiences all the time that what they want is a more visible and the more you incur costs for them, the less money they make, it will be a different sort of vulnerable customer this hits, isn't it? like one of the things we've done alongside his work on overdrafts is today we at the same time, credit banking, that model is profitable, it is very workable for banks and although there might be challenges to these services over time, not least if we see more technology coming into the market, actually the way banking works at the moment is profitable and it is, we believe, sustainable. we will wait to hear reaction from the banks this morning. many thanks. the top line, you won't necessarily pay more interest but it will be

clear what you're paying interest on. nina, thanks very much. if you're of a certain age, watership down will have a very big influence on your childhood. when did it come out? i don't know, i'll find out. watership down was arguably one of britain's greatest animation films, and left an entire generation in tears. and frightened! now a remake is coming to bbc one this christmas. the two—pa rt adaptation has an all—star cast, including star wars actorjohn boyega. breakfast‘s tim muffett caught up with john during production. i'm not letting you get to the others, hazel. if you want to leave, go. watership down for a new generation. we'll be able to see any yellow coming from miles away. john boyega is the voice of bigwig. go now, captain holly, or we'll kill the lot of you. we should go back and kill cowslip. we should kill the lot of them. first of all, i mean, i was in there watching a bit of your recording, really interesting process. how does that compare to other work you've done? it's tough, because it's different from filming on set, you're just having to imagine whatever it is you have to imagine. there's a lot of running,

there's a lot of fighting. several different things that don't make sense in the room. you've a nerve coming here... buy you've a nerve coming here... watership down, i remember seeing this when i was about six i think, and i was kind of traumatised, i have to say, by the original one. i vividly remember it. # bright eyes, burning like fire...# i just remember being freaked out by it. just these big rabbits with nails and black eyes and fighting and scratching and blood. i'll settle with you myself, bigwig. come and try, you crack— brained slave driver! rabbits are not supposed to be that! what i love about watership down is it's a... it mirrors off a story we all love — get characters that don't fit into those circumstances and put them into a situation that is bigger than themselves. the original was 2—d animation, and it still kind of struck a chord. so what then happens is when you add a little tablet of the hyperreal cg to it. it's not live—action,

but it gives you an emotional turn that feels like it's live—action. from promising young actor to the hollywood a—list, star wars changed everything. this journey you've been on, what has it been like for you? star wars is always going to be great, being part of that, because you live forever being in that kind of franchise. it is an opportunity for you to collaborate with everybody in the industry, as for me, i pick and choose. one of my visions was always to come back to london theatre. i get a chance to go back to my roots. you talk about your roots, i mean, you're from peckham in south london, do you feel different in anyway and do people treat you differently? last time i was there i went to the off—licence to get a flaming hot monster munch and some ka pineapple.

pretty normal! it's strange, in london ijust get a kind of like... "oh, yeah, congratulations," and people keep on moving. i thought the paparazzi would be hiding in your bin bags. i thought that was how my life was going to be — you can't go out onto the street, following you around and people outside your hotel screaming your name. a bit disappointing it hasn't happened? no, it's great. i'm good with it! actorjohn boyega talking to tim muffett. a lovely guy. the first episode of watership down is on bbc one this saturday at 7pm, and the second is on sunday at 7.20. he plays bigwig. when did it come out? 1978, thanks to my internet friends! time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm charlotte franks. labour has said it'll

provide every rough sleeper with a place at a shelter during the cold weather if the party gets into government. figures from the bureau of investigativejournalism found at least 118 rough sleepers died in london in the past year. the government says it's investing more than £1 billion to tackle homelessnes. thames valley police is piloting a new scheme where people found with small quantities of illegal drugs will be urged to use support services, rather than being arrested. the force says that the three—month trial is aiming to reduce deaths, prevent reoffending and lower service demands. the approach will apply to all drugs, including the most dangerous class a substances. men in central london are more likely to be single than women, while the opposite is true in the outer boroughs. according to figures from ons, which have been analysed by a dating app for people over 50, more women are looking for a partner in places like bromley, harrow and elmbridge in surrey. i guess some of the reason for that

would be single—parent families. more often the children might stay with the mother and the suburbs tend to be the areas that are betterforfamilies. so if you're a single—parent, a single mother, you might choose to stay in the suburbs. i think there are some suggestions it might be work—related too. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, there's a good service but the overground has severe dalays from surrey quays to new cross and clapham junction. onto the roads, and farringdon street is closed between charterhouse street and ludgate circus for repairs to a burst water main. pretty quiet this morning. in heathrow, the a4 is closed from hatch lane westbound to sta nwell moor roundabout because of a collision. in central london, one lane is closed on the euston road towards kings cross between the euston underpass and euston station for roadworks. now the weather, with lizzie. hello, good morning. today won't be quite

as nice as it was yesterday but it is still mild out there. plenty of cloud, a rather blustery day all in all with a very brisk and a noticeable south—westerly wind, and there'll be rain later on in the day in the afternoon, some of that turning out the be rather heavy. we're starting off in double figures through the morning, very mild out there, lots of low, grey cloud out there as well. perhaps some hints of brightness in the afternoon with a few dribs and drabs of rain out to the west at times and then the main rain band isjust approaching from the west as we go through the end of the day. staying windy, top temperatures between 9—11. so a very wet, very windy rush—hour home, this rain band pushing its way eastwards. it'll clear, behind it showers tucking in as we head into tomorrow morning, some will be on the heavy side, and a frost—free start to the day tomorrow, again between 5—7. so tomorrow, some sunny spells and some showers, staying mild, staying quite breezy too. temperatures pick up again as we head towards the end of the working week. i'm back with the latest

from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now it's back to dan and naga. bye for now. good morning. it isa it is a tah. -- it is eight o'clock. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and dan walker. our headlines today... a move to end a throwaway society — plans to overhaul england's waste systems to make it easier to know what and when to recycle. jeremy corbyn's push for a vote of no—confidence in theresa may over brexit is re—buffed as the government calls it a stunt. christmas deliveries are under scrutiny, as new research suggests more than half of us aren't happy about the way our parcels are handled. a new push to tackle rural mobile blackspots. ofcom, the regulator, will make companies build 500 new masts to tackle the problem. more on that in a moment.

in sport, its four years to the day to the fifa world cup final in qatar. we will be there live this morning to see just what it might be like for the players and the fans. good morning from salford quays, you have been listening to the ladies and gents from the bands of the welsh guards. it is breezy this morning, windy for many, rain moving from the west to the east. brighter skies behind. take care if you are travelling. it's tuesday the 18th of december. our top story... plans to bring about an end to a throwaway society will be unveiled today by the government. every home in england would see a weekly food waste collection along with a returnable deposit scheme for bottles, cans and disposable cups. scotland and wales have already announced similiar plans. here's our environment analyst, roger harrabin. the way we deal with waste is about to change.

new rules will aim to end confusion over what can be recycled and what can't. the government says we need to use resources more wisely. scientists say we are all using too much of the planets resources, buying stuff and then just throwing it away. that in turn generates greenhouse gases that are overheating the earth. it's got to change this, say government, local government, businesses, you and me. here is one solution, if food waste is collected separately and rotted in a tank, it gives a stream of valuable gas and a load of soilfertiliser. ministers want all households in the uk to be offered a food waste caddy to help in this process. what we need to do is make sure that that food waste is not go to landfill because that creates significant environmental harms and we want to avoid that. it's only through separate food waste collection that we can ensure that we actually use that material in a way which is environmentally sensitive.

and there is more. getting rid of waste imposes big costs on us all, ministers want manufacturers of goods to pay the bill of disposing of them. then there are plans to tackle the curse of fly tipping by tracking the movements of disposal firms with electronic systems. some of today's ideas are themselves recycled, industry has been fighting proposals for fear of increased costs, councils worry about that too. environmentalists praise the ambitions of today's strategy, but want to see firm policies emerge from the coming series of consultations. roger harraian, bbc news. —— roger harrabin, bbc news. you can find out what waste your council recycles by going to bbc.co.uk/news/science and environment. they are all different, it can be confusing. downing street has describe jeremy corbyn's decision to table

a motion of no confidence in the prime minister as silly political games. the move by the labour leader came after theresa may told parliament it would not get to vote on her brexit deal until the middle of january. our political correspondent, jonathan blake is in westminster for us this morning. it is almost like we don't know which way this leads us, i suppose? downing street is dismissing it, the labour party says it is important but it seems that nothing will be done? you could be forgiven for scratching your head, after another day of drama in the house of commons yesterday nothing has really changed. jeremy corbyn, after some indecision, went for it and tabled a motion of no—confidence in the prime minister, not in the government, in theresa may herself. the government does not have to make time for in parliament and says it will not. it has accused jeremy corbyn of playing political games. he could go one step further and call a vote of

no—confidence in the government which it would have to make time for, and if the government lost that it would potentially trigger a general election. so when or if will the labour party do that? the shadow housing secretaryjohn the labour party do that? the shadow housing secretary john healey the labour party do that? the shadow housing secretaryjohn healey was asked on breakfast earlier. we are doing the job of opposition, chang told the prime minister to account. it isa told the prime minister to account. it is a question of when not if we confront the government with a full motion of no—confidence in the government, that would be at the point where people can clearly and decisively see that the government is notjust failing on brexit but also failing on things like homelessness on our streets. labour is biding its time on that, knowing the government may well win a vote of no—confidence. and then what does it do? perhaps have to figure out a new policy potentially backing a second or further referendum. theresa may was being accused of running down the club, waiting until mid—january to give up

and then there are a few weeks left only before britain leads the eu with her deal, potentially, all with no deal. —— leaves the eu. we'll get an idea on how the government feels it should be preparing for that scenario when the cabinet discusses it. and we'll be talking to the former education secretary, justine greening, about this in more detail at 8:30 this morning. pro—government forces in yemen say a ceasefire in the red sea port of hodeidah has been broken, minutes after it came into effect. houthi rebels and the saudi—backed government agreed to halt the fighting at united nations—sponsored talks in sweden last week. but a government official said there had been renewed fighting almost immediately to the east of the city where humanitarian aid is being delivered. daily and monthly overdraft charges are to be abolished as the regulator orders banks to charge one set interest rate. the financial conduct authority said overdrafts were "a dysfunctional market" that needed to be sorted. it also said that extra charges for unarranged overdrafts would go. one of the things we have done

alongside this work on overdrafts is today we have published ourfindings on the review of the future of retail banking, which tells us there are retail banking, which tells us there a re pressures retail banking, which tells us there are pressures in the banking system, but at the same time i credit banking, that model is profitable and very workable for banks, and although there may be challengers to these kinds of services over time, not least if we see more technology companies come into the market, the way banking works at the moment is profitable and, we believe, sustainable. a new plan to tackle mobile phone blackspots in rural areas has been announced this morning. nina's got more on this. i think we have perfect wi—fi in here! it does not work on my phone! it could be your 4g. 70% of the country gets 4g, that is where you

can stream something really quickly on your phone, which has implications for the way we use our mobile coverage for social media, also things like business. off, is making more spectrum available, meaning more space on the airwaves, for people to be able to create 4g mobile data. —— ofcom is making more space. they have sold it at a discounted rate to two providers, the airspace. they say you can do this if you build 500 new masts and get 4g signal to 90% of the country's landmass, meaning that the last 20% are places that need to be reached by 4g will be reached, hopefully the auction will take place at the end of next year, the beginning of 2020, but in the long term a larger chunk of people will have much faster and better mobile data. 70% of us have access to 4g at the minute, another 20% are going to

have some, and they do this just buy, what, i can't visualise it? they have to free up more space on the airwaves. digital tv was taking up the airwaves. digital tv was taking upa chunk the airwaves. digital tv was taking up a chunk of airspace, i don't understand this, too much bandwidth, so they push that to the side, creating more space to stick up 500 new masts. 70% of the country in terms of geographical distribution, not population? yes, sorry. i think thatis not population? yes, sorry. i think that is fascinating, i will look into how that works. thank you. tugs are on their way to help a 16,000 tonne russian cargo the kuzma minin has a crew of 18 on board but it's thought there's no cargo or signs of pollution. they are in need of help, we will keep abreast of art for you. sally will have the sport shortly,

carol will have the weather with carol's carols. over the past year on breakfast we've been keeping in touch with tv presenter simon thomas, who lost his wife to acute myeloid leukaemia, just before christmas last year. he has spoken to us a lot about dealing with grief. losing someone is never easy, but the festive seasonis is never easy, but the festive season is always difficult for grieving families. but there is help and support. breakfast‘s graham satchell has been to see simon and his son ethan. what are you looking forward to most about christmas? mmm, seeing family. i just remember thinking, "i don't want to do christmas at all, if i could fast forward past this." it was literally a month after gemma died, it was days after her funeral and suddenly you're into the festive season.

simon is a former blue peter and sky presenter. his wife, gemma, died in november last year, just three days after being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia. hi, how are you? good to see you. come in. thank you. a charity, bloodwise, has arranged for simon to meet joe coleman, whose wife died from blood cancer three years ago. the first christmas was really tough. there was tears. there was joy, but a sense of there's something missing. yeah. but the second year i was quite excited, christmas was coming. as a family, we was lifted this time. we enjoyed the second christmas a lot more than the first christmas because time's a good healer. it's takenjoe and his two boys, lewis and oliver, a long time to get to this point. maggie was ill for some years before she died. joe's family have raised more than £100,000 for the charity bloodwise since maggie's death. it'll help to fund research and raise awareness of blood cancer,

the third biggest cancer killer. your boys, if maggie was to see them now, you must wonder what she'd make of it and how much you miss the fact she doesn't see any of it. that is my... that is a thing that plays on my mind. i wish she could see both these boys now. how mature they've had to be. they realise actually that there's more to life than what they had before. when you hear from people who are a little bit further down the line then you are, it just gives you encouragement and a sense of hope that you can find life again. so what have you written to granny? "dear granny, merry christmas. we miss mummy, but i love you.

love ethan. xxxxx. " a few weekends ago it was the first anniversary of gemma going and he knew it was the year anniversary but he wasn't thinking about it in the same way we were, and he grabbed my arm on the friday night and he said, "dad, if you're feeling sad over the weekend, you canjust come and find me and i'll give you a big hug." ijust thought, "i don't think i would've got through this without you." it just gives you a reason to live. he's my everything. without him, i don't know what life would be like now. simon andy flynn. simon was speaking to our reporter graham satchell. jonining us now is linda magistris, founder of the charity, the good grief trust. i remember speaking to simon a few months ago, anniversaries are difficult to anyone who has lost somebody very close in the family,

and christmas is particularly difficult. what do some of the people you speak to say is particularly hard? the good grief trust has brought all the bereavement services around the uk together under one new website, so whether it is christmas or any time of the year, grief hits you are just the most awful time, obviously christmas is really difficult for anyone. it is really, really a tricky situation. i think what most people want is connection, that is why our facebook page has been so popular, people need to connect, as simon says, faint hope. we offer help by directing people to counselling, or it should be a phone line, it could be the samaritans all the local coffee shop, whatever is right for you. i started the good grief trust because i got no choice, i was given one leaflet which was not right for me. what was your situation? i lost my partner graham,

we we re situation? i lost my partner graham, we were together for eight years and he died of cancer four years ago and i really struggle to find the right support for me, and i didn't understand why the gp or hospital could not sign post me. what they did not have was a resource like the good grief trust that we have now achieved can click a button and find support wherever you live in the country, that is what they struggle with. what does support look like? for example, if a parent has lost a child and has other children, sometimes parents are tackling how doi sometimes parents are tackling how do i celebrate for the other children while we have to acknowledge that we are heartbroken because we have lost a child and they have lost a sibling, it is a conflict of emotions. sometimes just practical advice that people need, even to be told by guilt is fine as well? to be told it is ok, whatever way you need to grieve is fine for you. that is what we need to do, get

rid of these taboos and the feeling that you should be doing this or you shouldn't be doing that. whatever you feel is right for you, you should go for. what should people say if they feel they are grieving for too long? because sometimes... it is almost like everyone else will say, it has been six months, it is the lack of sympathy. it really is, there should be no rules at all with grief. everyone is completely unique and grieves differently, even a husband and wife who have lost a child completely grief differently, the children will grieve differently, we just had to offer the support, and it is out there and amazing what supporters out there, on the website please go, you will find everything you can possibly need. this is a message simile posted on facebook? our facebook is a real hub for people, it says regardless of where in the world one is, loss is a dark and lonely place.

having easily accessible information and contact is a life—saver. it is hoped, hope that you can move forward for your life with the right sort of support. peer support is fantastic, if you have lost a child you often want to speak to somebody who has lost a child. details of organisations offering information and support with bereavement are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline, or you can call for free, at any time to hear recorded information on 08000158 707. carol's continuing her festive trip around the country as part of breakfast‘s special series carol's carols — this morning she is in salford quays with a marching band who will be playing some of our christmas favourites. she is only about 15 metres in that direction! good morning. good morning. damp, i am waiting for the cup of tea you promised me about five hours ago,

any time now would be great! we are with the bands of the welsh guards. there are 41 members, five of which are ladies today. they consist of trombones, clarinets, chubut, coronets, a bass drum, symbols and lots more. at 845 we have the pleasure of hearing them to play santa claus is coming to town. if it does not make you feel nothing will. the weather is not particularly festive, very windy with the exposure in the west. we have had gusts of 70 h —— 78 mph in the western isles. gales that time, heavy rain moving from the west to the east. we have a weather front coming from the west, already producing rain across northern ireland, scotland, western england and wales. squally around that bands, especially in the heavy bursts. although many of us are starting dry, we will not end

the day that way. if you don't have the day that way. if you don't have the rain yet it is heading your way, getting into east anglia and the south—east last. behind it for northern ireland and western scotla nd northern ireland and western scotland it will brighten up, there will still be showers. gusts of wind are not for 70 mph generally today, some of us are seeing gusts slightly higher. even inland, gusts of 30 or 40 mph. your wheelie bin might go flying down the street! barn yesterday, temperature wise, i! or 12 asa yesterday, temperature wise, i! or 12 as a high, pretty good for time of year. this evening and overnight the rain continues to push away into the north sea, leaving lots of cloud and some showers, some of which will be heavy and sunny, particularly in the south. a cold night across the central swathes of the country, temperatures falling to about three degrees, staying at about seven or eight.

tomorrow starts of relatively cloudy, cloud thinning and breaking, sunny spells develop. there will be showers across the west and south, some heavy and thundery. not as windy as today, temperatures down a degree also. for scotland on thursday you will have much lighter winds, low pressure, fewer showers for you but there will still be showers in other parts of the west in uk &, but lots of dry weather too and sunshine, temperatures peaking at around ten or 11 degrees. now go and stand, i cannot tell you what a treat it is to be with the skies today. —— naga and damp, i can tell you. studio: the men and women of the band of the welsh guards, they are perfectly formed. what time will they be striking up

for us? about 20 minutes? 945, they will play santa claus is coming to town. that is the benefit of being outside, she gets to hear the rehearsals. you order it online, provide all the correct details, and yet somehow your internet shopping still doesn't arrive on time, or even at all. over half of us have had to chase up late or missing christmas deliveries, according to the consumer group, which? we've been asking what problems you've experienced. i have had problems where i used to live, with parcels ending up in the bin. we had one delivery firm that left them in the bin, which struck me as a bit strange. usually theyjust kind of leave it, a card to collect if no one is home, which usually there is. they leave a card and say it is behind your porch, i have no back porch. so i looked at the card,

went to the back of my house. there's nothing there. it's christmas you get a text saying that there is a delay and we will be with you between 3—5 working days and you don't get nothing else. we had a delivery of a box of wine and it should have contained 12 bottles, when we opened it, it only had 11 in. they might feel like personal problems but they are a genuine concern for many, approaching christmas. —— they might feel like first world problems. we'rejoined from our london newsroom by which's consumer rights editor, adam french. what have some of your readers and subscribers been talking about, problems in the build—up to christmas? we have heard from loads of people who have had to problems, the majority say that deliveries last christmas were a big issue for them. more and more are shopping

online, it is a growing issue. people have found deliveries in bins, somebody found a laptop in a blue bin and miraculously got to before the bin men took it away. people have had to wrestle project away from their dog he was running round the garden with it, had to get back before the dog buried it after it was thrown over the fence. this isa it was thrown over the fence. this is a big issue for many people when you are desperate for things to turn up you are desperate for things to turn up on time, ready for the big day. there is often a van full of parcels, had to get it done in a certain time, you are desperate to get the parcel. quite a few people, i would imagine, get the parcel. quite a few people, iwould imagine, don't get the parcel. quite a few people, i would imagine, don't talk about the bad delivery experience, once they have got it they are happy to haveit? they have got it they are happy to have it? completely, many people have it? completely, many people have had delivery is earlier than expected that is a mixed bag, some people took a day off work or arrange to be in on the day they expected the deliberate and a day

two early, there is a problem across the board when deliveries do not happen, but you are bang on. when the delivery turns up you are glad to habit and you don't complain too much. if your delivery late or missing, you have rights, you can complain to the retailer you made the order with, they are legally responsible for that delivery being safely made to you. if a delivery has gone missing or tendon damage, you have rights, don't chase the career, speak directly to the career —— has gone missing or turned up damaged. but south korea's, the individuals delivering your parcels, are only paid a few pence per delivery and have hundreds to make, if you are really frustrated, be polite to these people, they have a lot of work on, but if you are really unhappy with the service provided by a career company, let the retailer now as they decide

which courier company they use. if it is constantly letting you down, complain to the retailer, hopefully they will use somebody else who uses... provides a better service. because of the consumer culture we are written, you expect that if you order a laptop or something with quite a bit of value, you expected to be when you wanted at a certain time —— because of the consumer culture we are living in. but the logistics of it mean sometimes you have to take aside half a day or a day to be at home, sometimes the grumbles are harsh on the delivery companies? you can pave a dedicated delivery slots, arrange next—day delivery slots, arrange next—day delivery or arrange with some companies for a specific time slot ofan companies for a specific time slot of an hour. if you pay for that and they fail to do it, you can claim back your money for the cost of that delivery, and as more of us shop online it is more important than ever we can be flexible with how we ta ke ever we can be flexible with how we
