good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and mega munchetty. our headlines today: thomas cook asks for emergency government funding to stop it going bust and leaving thousands of holidaymakers stranded. infighting overshadows the start of the labour party conference as activists try to remove the deputy leader tom watson. the united states is to send troops and military defence systems to saudi arabia after drone and missile attacks on the kingdom's oil facilities. the rugby world cup is under way and the defending champions new zealand play later against south africa, who are expected to rival them for the title in what's expected to be the most open tournament in years.

good morning. it will be another dry and sunny day for the vast majority of the uk. a little warmer for many of the uk. a little warmer for many of us than yesterday but windier as well. but there are changes afoot, as the day progresses, particularly in the west. i will have more detail for you in around a quarter of an hour. good morning. it's saturday the 21st of september. our top story: thomas cook has asked the government for financial help as it races against time to avoid collapse. britain's oldest package holiday firm could fall into administration this weekend, unless it finds £200 million to secure a rescue deal. katie prescott has more. it is low season for thomas cook in more ways than one. the weak pound makes it more expensive it to buy the flights and hotels that it pays for in euros dollars. it is in a competitive market where profits are small and it has

hundreds of shops and 22,000 staff. now heading into the winter period... if we book a holiday with thomas cook, we will pay for it before we go obviously but they actually don't pay hotel until after we back so they pay 60—90 days later which means that everybody that went on holiday through the summer, it is now that thomas cook has paying the hotels, they simply can't and if they can't pay the suppliers in the company they can't pay the suppliers in the com pa ny faces they can't pay the suppliers in the company faces are pretty tough time. the company lenders say it needs an extra £200 million on top of the money it has already secured for a bailout with a vote on that lifeline next friday, the company is hoping it can get over the next few days to reach the finish. it is a nervous time for customers. just don't know what the situation is. we will either have a flight back and get back to manchester and be fortunate

or, all things could collapse in the next, you know, couple of days or hours and we have nothing to go back on. so it is a case of waiting, really. if the company goes into administration there are 150,000 packaged uk holiday customers will be brought home and those who have what holidays will be refunded. katie prescott, bbc news. a fresh bout of labour infighting is overshadowing the start of the party's conference today after an attempt to remove tom watson as the party's deputy leader. a move by the grass roots group, momentum, to abolish his position failed to get the majority it needed last night. another attempt is expected at the conference in brighton this morning. here's our political correspondent, jessica parker. cheering and applause. conferences are supposed to be a chance for a party to showcase its policies and betray unity, especially when a general election could be around... but the news of this effort to oust

tom watson by abolishing the job he was let the two has sparked a spectacular clash. as members gather in brighton. the motion was tabled last night byjon lansman, the founder of momentum, a movement supportive of jeremy corbyn‘s leadership. as a last—minute proposal, it failed to gain the necessary support at the national executive committee. but it is now officially on the agenda for another meeting of labour's ruling body later this morning. if successful, the motion could then go to the conference floor with even some allies of tom watson not overly optimistic about his chances. because he has his fair share of critics, those who believe that the deputy has repeatedly undermined the leader, not least by straying on brexit policy. mps are furious at what has happened overnight, describing it all as a farcical destruction and self—destructive. jessica parker, bbc news.

and we'll be speaking to one of tom watson's shadow cabinet colleagues, dawn butler, just after 8am. the us has said it will send military forces to saudi arabia after drone and missile attacks on the kingdom's oil facilities. washington has blamed iran for the attack, as david willis reports. having initially pronounced the united states locked and loaded, resident trump now favours defence of attack. the president has approved the deployment of us forces which will be defensive in nature and primarily focused on air and missile defence. the number of additional troops being deployed to the middle east will be decided over the middle east will be decided over the weekend in talks with the saudis. the attack on two of saudi arabia's largest oil installations last weekend forced the kingdom to shut down half of its production and prompted the largest rise in crude oil prices in a single day. the

trump administration branded it and attack on the global economy. yet although the saudis believe the wreckage recovered from those attacks is that of a radiant drain and missile, it is yet to pinpoint exactly where the weapons were fired from. mrtrump exactly where the weapons were fired from. mr trump also announced sanctions on financial institutions, including iranian‘s national bank which, he says, is fuelling money to iranian — back terrorist organisations. the president and first lady played host to a state banquet tonight celebration of 100 yea rs of banquet tonight celebration of 100 years of mateship, so it was said, between the united states and australia. scott morrison said the us had no more sure and steadfast friend than australia. next week at the united nations, mr trump will attempt to harness friends and allies in a diplomatic coalition against iran. david willis, bbc news.

the teenage activist greta thunberg has hailed the global day of protests she inspired as the "biggest climate strike in history". millions of people around the world have taken part in demonstrations over the last 2a hours, ahead of a summit in new york next week. the teenager addressed people in the city, praising them for taking part in what she called "a wave of change". we all live here. it affects all of us. we all live here. it affects all of us. and we will notjust stand aside and watch. we are united behind the science and we will do everything in oui’ science and we will do everything in our power to stop this crisis from getting worse. a masterplan to protect and improve england's national parks has called for every school child to spend a night under the stars to connect with nature. the major review, published today, sets out ways to get more people to spend time in areas of outstanding natural beauty. 0ur correspondent

phil mackie has more. first national parks and areas of outstanding natural beauty in england were created 70 years ago. they include some of the nation's most beautiful landscapes like the la ke most beautiful landscapes like the lake district. the problem according to the review is that too few people are enjoying them and when they do 90, are enjoying them and when they do go, they don't spend enough time there. it says that every schoolchild in england should be given a chance to visit one of the ten parks and 3a umb is and to spend a night there under the stars. it says it has a big, bold plan which includes 27 recommendations, among them it says there should be a new national landscapes service to bring the national parks and areas of outstanding natural beauty together. programmes to increase the number of visitors from black and minority ethnic communities. and the creation ofa ethnic communities. and the creation of a housing association to build affordable homes within the parks.

it also wants park rangers to be introduced. similar to those who patrol national parks in the united states. in addition, it says the forest of dean in gloucestershire should be designated as a national landscape. the cotswold endorsing should be upgraded from a 0mb to national parks, and a national forest should be created in nottinghamshire. this desire is that england's most cherished places should become more important parts of people's lives help to make the nation greener, healthier and happier. phil mackie, bbc news. fears that thousands people could storm the top secret us military base known as area 51 last night turned out to be unfounded. more than three million responded to a facebook post injune calling for people to raid the facility in nevada in an attempt to uncover evidence of extra—terrestrial life. in the end, though, only around 75 people turned up, many of them in costume. no—one actually attempted to enter the site, which has long fascinated conspiracy theorists.

that was rumoured and speculated about for so long on social media andi about for so long on social media and i was expecting it to be massive. were you going to go? i was not going to go. not really 3 million, was it? it's time for a look at this morning's newspapers. the daily telegraph leads on a leaked memo from brussels, which it says has "dismissed" the uk's new proposals for an alternative to the backstop. the main picture is of the duke and duchess of sussex who are attending the wedding of a friend in italy this weekend. the times reports that the government is "poised to reject" thomas cook's appeal for a state funded bailout. the photo there is of pupils in cambridge who joined yesterday's global march for climate change. the i weekend also leads with thomas cook, it says up to 150,000 british tourists would be stranded if the company falls into administration — with a potential repatriation cost of around £600 million. and finally, the sun leads with claims from an american woman

who has accused us billionaire jeffrey epstein of sex abuse. virginia giuffre claims she had sex with the duke of york when she was 17 years old, telling nbc news that she was "trafficked" to the duke. prince andrew has denied having "any form of sexual contact or relationship" with ms giuffre, formerly known as roberts. john is back with us. good morning. i'm sure they must have finished picking up the labour party in the papers. england had coach eddie jones predict then, you know, it will be a rollercoaster ride which i'm sure it will be as england get theircampaign i'm sure it will be as england get their campaign under way. what is in their campaign under way. what is in the middle of his forehead there? your finger? well-placed! it is so destructive? in new zealand people say they will be vulnerable, they

are the holders, but they play south africa later. a big open match for them. and interestingly, no team if they have lost their opening match of the world cup is ever gone on to win it. they are saying no team that has lost their opening match of the world cup go on to win it. well, they don't have to do, but it is interesting. we like these nuggets, absolutely! japan against russia yesterday, a wobbly start. i know the result turned out 0k yesterday, a wobbly start. i know the result turned out ok but... yesterday, a wobbly start. i know the result turned out 0k but...m was a big up and under. dodgy. he missed the catch, didn't he, the japanese player? but they came good in the end. i wonder if the nerves and pressure... it has got to be a factor because there is a lot of expectation and as hosts, they want to captivate a nation and if they do not produce the results on the field, it will have an impact. while

they have captivated the nation but 110w they have captivated the nation but now is the hard bit of having to prove it on the field. just finally, george ford is channelling his inner david ackerman. they are playing at the sapporo dome which is where england played the 2002 world cup match with the famous penalty —— david beckham. and they are back they're playing now. the opening match. so george ford there, the england fly half, saying he is going to be challenging but of what channelling his inner becks. do you quys channelling his inner becks. do you guys watch peaky blinders? no, not really. this is going to fall flat then. many people watch it. i think it is one of those programmes that once you start, you invest the time and you enjoy it. anyway. lots of a—list celebrities are getting on the peaky a—list celebrities are getting on the pea ky blinders a—list celebrities are getting on the peaky blinders wagon so to speak and are trying to get the makers to cast them in the show but they have been told by the creator look, you will only get a part if you are good and look at the picture, brad pitt, a p pa re ntly and look at the picture, brad pitt, apparently he has been in touch

about a role, snoop dogg wants to have a part. a cameo? they say you are only going to get in if you are good and you do not distract the viewers. that is how popular it has become if they are attracting that calibre. we need to get on the train. yes, where is your cameo? have you seen the importance of deep breathing in the guardian? in! out! eddie jones is up at five am every day and starts with deep breathing. it is not bad. this is saying not just talking about breathe—a—thon. i mean, that is called living. just talking about breathe—a—thon. i mean, that is called livinglj thought i was the only one! notjust physical but cathartic lee, mental health benefits. do you not do yoga?

ido,a health benefits. do you not do yoga? i do, a little bit. it is about breathing as well and it does make you feel better. crosstalk. it is notjust the breathing you feel better. crosstalk. it is not just the breathing though. you feel better. crosstalk. it is notjust the breathing though. when you are in the, i can't remember, that position. , when you lie down, it is about breathing. child's pose? no. it is nice when you exercise. whatever is doing, just keep doing it and keep on living. i wonder if helen has done her breathing this morning. i'd do deep breathing. they often breathe deeply when i'm running. running up the hills. beautiful fresh air to breathe in again today. this was the view from north wales yesterday. beautiful. and for many of us, if you are enjoying this late taste of summer sunshine, it continues for the most part. i know we need the rain, but bear with us, it is on its way. today for most of

us it is on its way. today for most of us the last warm and sunny day, could be the last one day we have until next spring, with temperatures expected to leap into the mid—20s. that's because the high pressure is with us, settling down. we have the battle of the atlantic going on. we're starting to see a change coming in. just at the moment, head of that atlantic front, we are pulling in southerly winds, which is why it is so warm. it is quite chilly out there. we also have fog through north—east england, drifting through north—east england, drifting through the day entities of scotland and northern isles. it is fine and dry. for the late part of the morning a few showers potentially in devon and cornwall and later pembrokeshire and northern ireland. because it is windy out there today, gusty winds, they will be held down on the east coast. the low 20s for many of us. 25—26 for southern and eastern areas. into sunday it changes. through the night we have that risk of heavy and thundery showers continuing. they will be with us tomorrow morning drifting northwards and eastwards. a more

definite line of more persistent rain, perhaps as much as an inch falling. that is 20—25 millimetres during the day as it meanders north—east was. it could be that scotland, north, and eastern parts don't see much rain until late on. late in this upper sturt dries up and brightens up. not quite as warm tomorrow. that weather front will sit across the north of scotland into monday. the next one is growing up. we have some tropical air, the potential for heavy rains. it has the remnants of humm virto mixed into it. with that energy there will be some wet weather —— humberto. we need it, it is on its way. just in time for the autumn equinox. it will feel like autumn on monday. that is the large area of low pressure driving and that whether from the atlantic. more wet, windy weather on the way. this is how it looks on tuesday. you are getting the picture that today, really, is the last of

those lengthy warm and dry quite sunny days. chilly start, chilly chu and at this time of year for the top and at this time of year for the top and stays rather mild as we head into next week. a very big change with our weather. starting with some thundery downpours potentially later today. i will have off that. we will look at the rugby world cup weather as we go through the morning. that is important as well. absolutely. it makes a difference to how slippery the conditions are for those players. thanks very much, hello. we will enjoy today while we have got it. now it's time for the film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is jason solomons. so, jason, what do we have this week? brad pitt dons a space suit

and shoots for the stars in ad astra. 80s action hero sylvester stallone sharpens up his act to release rambo: last blood. and a family gathers in china to say goodbye to grandma in the farewell. let's start with brad pitt in space. that's right, brad in space. he is so hot right now in this post—tarantino glow from once upon a time in hollywood. this is a very different performance from him, a much more buttoned down performance. in this film it is officially proven that brad pitt is the coolest man in the world. he has a psych evalfrom nasa who decide his heartbeat does not go over 80 revs per minute, beats per minute? beats per minute. beats per minute, bpms, a record. he is officially and scientifically proven to be as cool as anything so that means he does not get very excited in this. he breathes the narration of the story of a man sent on a mission to find his dad who disappeared 15 years ago.

he is played by tommy leejones. brad has to send him a message to say, "dad, i'm coming to find you." this is a map of an underground lake beneath the launch pad. you'll be able to access the ship from there. we're approaching. they're going to come for you, you know. i know. i don't care any more. i need to get back now, do what i can. good luck. so, yes, a man on a mission. a man on the mission, he goes to the moon which has been colonised by this time. it is set somewhere in the near future and it

has been colonised. it looks like the wild west in a shopping centre, a bit like westfields, stratford. then he goes to mars and neptune, he goes to jupiter. it is a long search then? it is quite long. i have to say in the hands of this american directorjames gray — i think he's a rather pretentious film maker — this is a bit of a space drag. there are people who are saying it is very philosophical and an existential search for meaning, and there are parallels of father and son and maybe god the creator, i do didn't read that in there. i had plenty of time to think this is rather silly, to be honest. and i love brad pitt, i quite like space movies when they are philosophical, 2001, solaris, for example. this one had some decent sequences but not for me at all. i thought it was ponderous, pretentious, i thought it was a real pain to watch. very difficult. i know brad is great. the other thing about ad astra, it's not a ad for an astra at all,

they won't sell any cars on the back of this. i did read it looks beautiful, do you give it that or not? i did give it that but i much prefer gravity which has a similar feel to it. everybody seemed to be speaking in a very stilted fashion, the way it is made, to me, it turned me off almost immediately. it had a breathy terrence malick element to it. you thought of brad in tree of life, where he breathes the same narration, that film got away with it, apart from the silly bit with the dinosaurs. this was a mission too far for brad. right. given you are not over keen on that, i am rather interested about what you are going to say about the next one. rambo: last blood. you remember rambo, surely? i do remember rambo, yes. from the 1980s. many people might not know what we're talking about. it takes me back a far away. yeah, he had two massive action heroes in the 70s and 805, sylvester stallone, rocky and rambo. rocky's still going, rebooted by the creed franchise with michael b jordan. rocky's his tutor in this. rambo hasn't.

he's been stuck very much in the 805, i quite like the first film, first blood, this is last blood. sylvester stallone's niece has been taken by mexican drug cartels and sold into sex slavery, which is of course what mexicans always do to americans. sly goes over the border as rambo and gets them back, and then he invites them to come back over the border. this is the first film, i think, to show trump's wall border. is there a wall? there's a sort of a high fence. it is very easily bleached — breached and bleached — by these mexican cartels who come to rambo's ranch where he has booby—trapped it, fashioning spears and arrows and all sorts of pits for them to fall in and die very bloodily. i don't want to spoil it but that is a rambo movie for you, you know where it is going. i found this very nasty. rather short and nasty and brutish, but very violent and very confused about what it is saying about our american hero. rambo was always a tool of empire, a tool of american gung ho—ness, sent out to bring back the american

troops in rambo 3 and 4. this one, he hates everyone. he hates foreigners, it is about revenge and hatred. he literally rips the heart out of someone, it left a terribly nasty taste in the mouth. plus it is not very good or funny or very fun, and he is looking a little worse for wear, is sly in this one. so, we are not keen on that, that's for sure. what about the farewell which i think you are much keener on? in terms of cultural exchange between two cultures, this is much more up my street. the farewell stars a rising star, awkwafina, a rapper. we have seen her in 0ceans 8 and crazy rich asians. here, she is a young writer called billi who lives in new york, and herfamily are going back to china for the first time because nai nai, her grandmother is unwell, she has cancer and is going to die. they say to billi don't come because you have such a miserable face that grandma's going to know immediately what's happening to her, because they're trying

to lie to grandmother. it says at the start of the film — based on an actual lie. in chinese culture, says the film, they do not tell someone who is ill they are ill, the family shoulders the emotional burden of it. here is awkwafina getting it explained to her in hospital in china. how bad is she? you can tell me the truth. the cancer is quite advanced. shouldn't we tell her? in her situation, most families in china would choose not to tell her. when my grandma had cancer, my family didn't tell her. isn't that wrong to lie? if it is for good, it is not really a lie. i mean, it's still a lie. it's a good lie. there is quite a lot of humour in this, i was reading as well. it is billed as a comedy,

i was expecting a warm family comedy, the sort ang lee made before he went to america, eat drink man woman and the wedding banquet. it has not quite got that warmth but it has a fantastic exchange of what a young american might be getting from china and what china might be getting from a young american. it shows you the skyscrapers of china, the progress, but because it is about this family, this brilliant old woman played by zhao shuzhen, a fantastic performance, it could lead to an oscars supporting nomination, it shows you so much going on, weddings and karaoke and singing dogs and strange rituals, professional criers, for example. i would recommend eating beforehand because there is so much food going around and around those tables, your stomach will be rumbling throughout and that is the best kind of movie. that is what families are about, that food element, so bite into it, it is a very warm film and a very smart film. very good performance

from awkwafina. i did not laugh as much as i thought i would, all the stars on the poster said it was heart—warming and ifound it sadder but it has that warmth and that sense of a young woman trying to find her roots, getting on — well, this isn't what i was looking for all along. it does not have the normal arc you might expect. we'll put that one on the list, what do you think is the best one out there at the moment? do catch pain and glory directed by pedro almodovar. his new film pain and glory, he is one of the greatest film makers, it is one of his best films starring antonio banderas who is better in this than i have ever seen him, playing an ageing filmmaker, looking back on his career and a retrospective that the madrid cinematheque are giving him. it delves into his past and growing up with his mum, played by penelope cruz, and flashbacks with his relationships with actors in the past. it is very funny, colourful,

tender and moving. i think it is one of the great movies of the year and one of the movies of a great film maker's career, and i think antonio banderas for oscar nomination. we will make a note of that. on dvd you are going for apocalypse now, the final cut. a lot of people are saying ad astra is apocalypse now in space. this is the quintessential one, it is coppola's examination of the vietnam war. which, of course, is what rambo is a hangoverfrom, too. it is out on blu—ray now and is called the final cut, we have had a directors cut.

all of them are good. if you have never seen apocalypse now, it is one of the great movies of the last century, one of the best movies made since the 19705 and it 5tar5 martin sheen, marlon brando, a young lawrence fishburne and harrison ford. it is one of my favourite films, it is a mad film, a hallucinogenic film. it has one of the most famou5 lines of all time. "i love the smell of napalm in the morning." "charlie, don't surf!" he is a wise man and anyone would want to see this on blu—ray. jason, good stuff, as ever. thank you very much indeed, that is it for this week. thank you very much indeed.

hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and naga munchetty. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news.

thomas cook has asked the government for financial help as it races against time to avoid collapse. britain's oldest package holiday firm could fall into administration this weekend unless it finds £200 million to secure a rescue deal. if the company fail5, the cost of bringing home pa55enger5 is estimated to be around £600 million. a fresh bout of labour infighting i5 overshadowing the start of the party's conference today after an attempt to remove tom watson as the party's deputy leader. last night, a motion put forward by allies ofjeremy corbyn to abolish his position failed to get the majority it needed, but another attempt is expected this morning. mr watson has increasingly been at odds with the leader over labour's stance on brexit. the us has said it will send military forces to saudi arabia after drone and missile attacks on the kingdom's oil facilities. washington has blamed iran for the strikes. secretary of defence mark esper told reporters the deployment would be "defensive in nature".

total troop numbers have not yet been decided. the teenage activist greta thunberg has hailed the global day of protests 5he inspired as the "biggest climate strike in history". millions of people around the world have taken part in demonstrations over the last 2a hours ahead of a summit in new york next week. the teenager addressed people in the city, praising them for taking part in what she called "a wave of change". we all live here, it affects all of us, and we will notjust stand aside and watch. we are united behind the science and we will do everything in our power to stop this cri5i5 from getting worse. a masterplan for a shake—up of england's national parks has called for every school child to spend a night under the stars to connect with nature. the major review, published today, sets out ways to get more people to spend time in areas of outstanding natural beauty.

sugge5tion5 include introducing park ranger5 similar to those who patrol national parks in the us. we'll be out and about with jane later, looking at areas of outstanding beauty and trying to get more people out to experience tho5e. fear5 that thousands people could storm the top secret us military base known as area 51 last night turned out to be unfounded. more than three million responded to a facebook po5t injune, calling for people to raid the facility in nevada in an attempt to uncover evidence of extra—terrestrial life. in the end, though, only around 75 people turned up, many of them in costume. no—one actually attempted to enter the site, which has long been the focus of conspiracy theories. x—files! movies and documentaries! there is quite a long way to go, it

i5 there is quite a long way to go, it is in the middle of nowhere, so that could maybe explain it. it is an intriguing place. i imagine. i have not yet been there. interesting stuff happening in japan. not yet been there. interesting stuff happening injapan. australia and fiji, do you want to know the score? fiji are edging it? yeah, 14-12. it is score? fiji are edging it? yeah, 14—12. it is being billed as a real run is game with lots of action and if you want to kind of get into by, if you want to kind of get into rugby, it be a game will offer excitement. —— runners' game. -- runners' game. it is quite a free—flowing game, fiji's, so it will be good. a big match today and the tournament organisers wanted it to get off to a big start which was why we see new zealand in action today. the rugby world cup got under way yesterday, the host japan opening the tournament with a win. it's half—time between australia and fiji. a5 as we just a5 wejust said, as we just said, fiji edging a5 wejust said, fiji edging it as we just said, fiji edging it at the moment.

that game is followed by the first game in england's group — argentina v5 france — but the game of the day is in yokohama. the defending champions new zealand get their campaign under way against south africa. two of the favourites. the all blacks have never lost a pool game since the world cup started in 1987. but as were saying a few moments ago, no team that's lost their opening match has gone on to win the world cup. but is something for new zealand to keepin but is something for new zealand to keep in mind. and that's why head coach steve hansen is so confident. 0ne one thing! one thing i know, if we play to the be5t one thing i know, if we play to the best of our ability and doesn't matter who we play, they will have to play really well to beat us and if they do so, well done to them. we have to accept that. if they do not, they may have to accept the consequences. scotland and ireland face each other in their opener tomorrow. scotland have only beaten ireland once since the last world cup. on their day, they can beat anyone, and who can forget that brilliant comeback against england in the six nations, which fini5hed ina draw? head coach gregor townsend is aware

of the dangers ireland po5e. we have to take the opportunities and we have to limit the opportunities that i5land5 get because they have shown over the past two or three years that they do ta ke past two or three years that they do take opportunities and into the opposition 22 and come away with point5 —— ireland get. england also play tomorrow. no happy memories from the last world cup, when they became the first ho5t nation to go out at the group phase. but have some genuine world heaters in their side, and they will need those players to stay fit. plenty of emphasis on youth as well. eddie jones doesn't think inexperience will be an issue. if you look at what this team has been through over the last bubbly five or six years, not all of them, you know, they have won a lot and have lost a lot and have extraordinary tough 5ituations have lost a lot and have extraordinary tough situations and they have some great 5ituations extraordinary tough situations and they have some great situations so all of that accumulated experience probably counts more than their caps. watch out for this goalkeeping blunder a5 bournemouth beat local rivals southampton.

that's the premier league. southampton had got them5elve5 back into it at 2—1, only for this to happen. callum wilson sparking wild scenes — that win has taken 66 years as they won there for the first time. when the points were sealed with that third goal, it looks like it was a bit like pandemonium down on your bench. with delight. it was a nice moment and he very rarely get tho5e nice moment and he very rarely get those moments in football, probably ten yea r5 of those moments in football, probably ten years of me in football, a handful of moments where you have the pure joy handful of moments where you have the purejoy for a handful of moments where you have the pure joy for a few seconds and then you may be start thinking about next week and west ham very quickly. ye5, next week and west ham very quickly. yes, the hard work starts again. cricketerjofra archer, one of the stars of summer, has been rewarded with a new england contract. he only made his international debut four months ago, and the deal covers all forms of the game. we spoke about him so much during the world cup because of the 5peed5 he bowl5 at — in excess of 90 mph —

and those around him believe he can get faster. i think he is capable of anything. i did have a chat with his dad actually at the oval and he told me he thought he would hit 100 mile an hour next year so i will take that! but it is important we look after him. it is not easy to bowl that pace consistently. and he is a fine asset for this team. it is a no—brainer, him getting a contract. the way the system works, they have different contracts are different form5 different contracts are different forms of the game so you have the white ball and test cricket and you kind of have a central contract which covers the lot. but you are right, he has had an amazing summer. i like the fact they say they will look after him because the phy5icality of that and the potential for phy5icality of that and the potentialfor injury, phy5icality of that and the potential for injury, the longevity of his game, that is what needs to be protected. that is the thing, his technique, he has a very kind of measured technique and doesn't look like he is storing his whole body

into it so you hope that will negate any... people spend their whole life negotiating different contracts and different times of... like you, john! if only you knew! peaky blinders... it's finals day of the t20 bla5t today at edgbaston. essex eagles play derby5hire falcons in the afternoon, but the morning 5ee5 last year's winners worcestershire warrior5 face the winners from 2017, nott5 0utlaws. we have had success in the past we have tried to stay as calm as po55ible have tried to stay as calm as possible and keep as little as po55ible possible and keep as little as possible through the day and like i 5aid possible through the day and like i said it is a pretty big day so if you can try and concentrate on those things that got you here in the first place, focu5 things that got you here in the first place, focus on those as much as you can and not get too caught up in the excitement of the day, i 5uppo5e, in the excitement of the day, i suppose, you can tend to stay pretty level and what you need to do. he doesn't believe he's back to his bestju5t yet, but he's showing signs of getting there, after danny willett moved into a share of the lead at the halfway stage of the pga championship at wentworth in surrey. he is the former masters champion,

but saw form and fitness dip after that win. he's on 11 under par alongside spain'sjon rahm after a second round of 65. rory mcilroy narrowly made the cut but i512 shots behind. it is my 10th straight year here, i have had a couple of nice fini5he5, and the game is in good shape and it has been for a while and it is nice to come back, the crowds have been amazing for two days you have the good weather at the golf course the good weather at the golf course the good conditions of this week you can have a real good leaderboard and u nfortu nately we have have a real good leaderboard and unfortunately we have put ourselves ina unfortunately we have put ourselves in a position to be out of it. super league champion5 wigan warrior5 beat salford red devils 18—12 in their qualifying final. they scored three tries, including this one from george williams, but it was in defence where they were most impressive. it means they are nowju5t one win away from the grand final at old trafford. lewi5 hamilton's form was as hot as the weather during practice for the singapore grand prix. the championship leader said it felt like a sauna in his mercedes car as he clocked the quickest lap

at the marina bay street circuit. the briton was just under two tenths of a second quicker than red bull's max verstappen, but almost a second ahead of the ferrari of sebastian vettel in third. qualifying gets under way at 2 o'clock. if that was not enough for you! the top flight women's club rugby competition is set to make an exciting return for its third season today. saracens' prop hannah botterman says the standards this season will only make franchise even more interesting. —— make the franchise even more interesting. no game is ever an easy n0 game is ever an easy one so no game is ever an easy one so it is about keeping standards high across the board and hoping it makes it thrive and bring in players from across the board, from all clubs, so that all games are competitive and that all games are competitive and thatis that all games are competitive and that is something i think will really grow the franchises, as a women's premiership. loads of rugby going on today! where

to watch? thank you very much. it was a daring but flawed plan. 75 years ago today, allied troops mounted what was the largest airborne assault of the second world war. the resulting battle of arnhem in holland claimed the lives of more than 1,500 british soldiers and saw 6,000 more captured. 0ur defence correspondent jonathan beale has been attending the commemorations. 75 years ago, it was as relative preparing to jump into 75 years ago, it was as relative preparing tojump into arnhem but today, he will be doing the same. he is the link between the present and the past. carrying a photograph of his great uncle, leonard plant, along with his medal. he was killed in action atjust 22. he jumped in on the first wave into arnhem and the following day was killed. this is one of the last opportunities to do it while perhaps we still have vetera ns do it while perhaps we still have veterans who would have been there

on the day, are still around to share the experience with us. this week hundreds of british and nato troops have been preparing to mark the 75th anniversary of operation market garden. go! a bold but flawed plan to seize a series of bridges to break through to germany and bring an end to the war. this, a tiny fraction of what was on that september day in 19114, one of the largest airborne assaults in history. and the red devils of the skies do not count the cost. proudly offer life itself in their bold attempt to strike the short route to berlin. the british furthest north at arnhem soon run into trouble. more than 1500 were killed and 6500 taken prisoner. among those captured wasjohnjefferies. taken prisoner. among those captured was john jefferies. he is taken prisoner. among those captured wasjohnjefferies. he is now 97. but he returns each year to remember

his band of brothers. every year, i come back, because i like to know, when i come back, but i go to the graves and it is memories that... so many men wiped out. i couldn't believe it. the goal of capturing the bridge here at arnhem ultimately failed. the british were outgunned and outnumbered. but it is the extraordinary bravery against the odds but still remembered here, 75 yea rs odds but still remembered here, 75 years on. thank you! the surviving vetera ns a re years on. thank you! the surviving vete ra ns a re fewer years on. thank you! the surviving veterans are fewer each year. the generations of dutch have never forgotten. schoolchildren still visit the graves, laying flowers to remember. the sacrifice of men like leonard plante remember. the sacrifice of men like leonard pla nte means remember. the sacrifice of men like leonard plante means the past will a lwa ys leonard plante means the past will always be present. jonathan beale, bbc news, arnhem.

remarkable stories there. it is a quarter to seven. perfect timing to talk to hello about the weather today. you can't have rain there, hello, behind you, because it will be really hot today. it is the last brilliant day of the year. absolutely right. you don't need me. we wa nt absolutely right. you don't need me. we want you. i am going to tell you about japan first. rugby. we want you. i am going to tell you aboutjapan first. rugby. the we want you. i am going to tell you about japan first. rugby. the game in yokohama today, following in just a few hours, the new zealand match, dry. but we have got a storm not too far away, it is brushing towards the west of japan. for ireland far away, it is brushing towards the west ofjapan. for ireland against scotla nd west ofjapan. for ireland against scotland tomorrow there could be some heavy, torrential rain. further north, england against tonga is looking to escape all that rain. but

back home it is a dry, warm, sunny day, i know we need the rain, it is on its way. today is that last dry, mostly dry day for most of the uk. that's because the high pressure is drifting away but still influencing us. look at the tightly packed isobars. it is windy today. not enough wind this morning to have stopped some fog, but it will be quite gusty this afternoon. watch for that if you are on the ocean or in the mountains. it will be quite gusty, up to a0 mph. 0therwise in the mountains. it will be quite gusty, up to a0 mph. otherwise you can see the fog across the north—east of england jobcentre eastern scotland the northern isles. and we could see the risk of a fuse storms for devon and cornwall, later pembrokeshire —— pembrokeshire, and those are the exceptions to a dry and sunny rule. it is warm, 25—26, 2a in the western highlands. emitted on the east coast because of the strength of the wind, more like

15-17. strength of the wind, more like 15—17. 0vernight the risk of thunderstorms continues northwards and eastwards into the rest of wales, north—west england, northern ireland with more substantial rain following behind. notice the temperatures overnight. we have had some chilly nights this week. it will be, for most, much milder overnight tonight. really notable. but cloudier tomorrow. we have still got the really low cloud sticking in the northern isles, potentially not the northern isles, potentially not the scotland, but not too bad in terms of dry and bright weather, eastern parts to start with. there will be heavy showers, then the more persistent rain comes in. the more persistent rain comes in. the more persistent rain comes in. the more persistent rain could potentially give 15—20 millimetres for many parts of wales and the midlands. it does move away through the night and it pushes into the north of scotland for monday. then we have more rain coming in. this rain again has potential to give quite significant amounts. i know we need the rain but it is on its way. still relatively warm between the weather fronts because there is tropical air mixed

in with monday's low pressure and thatis in with monday's low pressure and that is the remains of hurricane humm —— humberto. there is one thing tropical air. quite a large area of low pressure. the autumn equinox on monday, just in time the weather will start to feel much more autumnal. as you said, the last of those warm and dry days. could be the warmest day at the beginning of spring next year. that is a nice thought, isn't it? so sorry. you should perhaps practise finishing on a higher note, maybe. laughter. i will go away in practice... just go outside and enjoy some fresh air for a few minutes. time now for click.

emergency call: a request for an ambulance at manchester. it is michelle gaffey. she said the patient in the bathroom, she has overdosed. a 35—year—old male. he is not conscious, not breathing — overdose. america is facing the worst public health crisis in its history. 70,000 of its citizens are dying each yearfrom drug overdoses. i'm not doing nothing, except sticking a needle in my arm, every day, all day long. it's a waste of everything. around three quarters of those are a result of opioid addiction. it's the number one killer of americans under 50, and it has reduced the average life expectancy. we go out on these types of calls over and over and over again, all day long. doug, can you get up? by the end of this programme, three lives will have been lost due

to opioid overdoses. it's a crisis widely blamed on the overprescribing of pain medication, the addictive nature of which has left many turning to the street when their prescription dries up. i was 16 years old and got my wisdom teeth out. and they prescribed vicodin, and i was like, "what is this miracle? these things are amazing!" and in the end, i ended up being an everyday user. now synthetic opioids like fentanyl, which can be 50 times stronger than heroin, and carfentanil, which can be thousands of times stronger, are being imported in bulk from china and cut in with heroin. it's not heroin that's killing our people. it's fentanyl. it's an issue affecting every corner of society. layla, wake up! again, fe nta nyl driving up into new hampshire to pollute our communities.

president trump has declared it a national public health emergency. we will end this terrible menace. we will smash the grip of addiction. last year, the food and drug administration and congress pointed the finger at the tech giants for fuelling the epidemic by not removing adverts for the illicit sale of opioids on their platforms. america is in the midst of one of the worst epidemics it has ever experienced with this drug epidemic. but your platform is still being used to circumvent the law and allow people to buy highly addictive drugs without a prescription. what we need to do is build more ai tools that can proactively... you been said before you were gonna take ‘em down, and you haven't. and they're still up. gentleman's time has expired. well, his questioning was up, but we've got a whole programme, and we've given nick kwek the whole show to investigate this. i've spent the last few months looking at this hugely pressing issue which is sweeping america, but what is important is that it's notjust an american issue.

we're beginning to see the full extent of this on our shores here in the uk, where apparently a quarter of us are being prescribed potentially addictive medication. but in the states, i wanted to look at whether or not technology companies really are contributing to the recent rise in opioid overdoses, or as technology companies, if their inherent nimbleness and ability to quickly innovate could actually provide an interesting solution to the epidemic. 0k, and nick's first point of call was an online forensics lab in the south of the usa. at the university of alabama at birmingham, gary warner and his students monitor for illegal activity online. so some of these students are investigating terrorism, some are working on financial crimes. their pioneering expertise in computerforensics have helped the likes of the fbi, the secret service and now facebook — the virtual home of more than half of americans. they realise that they had a problem with drugs being sold on their platform. we've been working to eliminate terrorism from their platform for some time, and i think we've taken the same approach. they said "what could you do

to help with this?" gary and his team have flagged thousands of websites to law officials that they believe advertise illegal drugs. i browse social media platforms, looking for people that are selling drugs on them. they usually comment on drug user's posts. in the comments sections, there will be people trying to sell them drugs. just one of us alone finds probably thousands of different accounts every day involved in some way, hundreds of different websites we go through. it's a lot to look at. we look at the worst parts of the internet — like, that's ourjob, we're paid to do that. there are "research chemicals", is the term they use. research chemicals websites are selling the bulk fentanyl. 0n the social media, it is really more the people who are looking for an individual dose. what is on your screen there? i have a lethal dose of fentanyl, compared to a penny. it's 2mg, is enough to kill a grown man.

what we're seeing is that a lot of what people are buying is a painkiller. they're going to a site that looks like an online pharmacy, not realising that's not a legitimate pharmacy, and they're buying the drugs without a prescription. and the problem is that when you get it, it's not a properly regulated drug. you don't know where it came from. you're really rolling the dice with your own safety. so you've been doing this line of work for a few years now. how much of this is work and how much of this is personal? so, yeah... well... yeah, we'll go there. 0k. um, i lost my daughter, uh, to heroin. she was, um... she was a troubled kid and she got involved with heroin and she actually committed suicide while she was high one night. she was 19. um... if this lab can help... ..somebody else not lose their little girl or their son, um, that's a worthwhile cause. exhales.

wow! yeah, when i asked gary that question, i actually didn't know how close he was to the issue, him losing his daughter. but what i have found is that a lot of people that are drawn to this line of work are personally connected in some way. they've either had had family members have gone through it or going through it now, or they themselves have gone through it. 0k, right. so we've established that social media makes it easierfor people to find drugs. i'm assuming that gary warner's lab could do more thanjust flag up posts to facebook? yeah, so users searching for drugs in america now on facebook are redirected automatically to a government—run support website or helpline. but, as gary's team told me, with a lot of these adverts appearing in people's comment sections or in private, closed groups, they are not actively

going to search for drugs. these links just appear and they might click on them and may be redirected to websites that sell the drugs. but with 500,000 comments being posted to facebook per second and the ability for people just to create new profiles to then advertise drugs online once their old ones are shut down, it's kind of an impossible task to keep up. the platforms will shut them down but theyjust get brought up under a different name. but they — i'm not sure if it's one person or a scam or a big organisation, but they will have about 15 or so different accounts, run by the same person, because they have the same phone numbers. people used to sell viagra on facebook. 0k, well you get rid of the word viagra and a couple of variants on it, and people said "oh, i guess i can't sell viagra on facebook" and they quit. the criminals, the drug user, the drug dealers are all getting very creative with "how can i describe my product i'm seeking or my product i'm selling in a way that gets me around the censors?" they've got 05 in the middle, where they're supposed to have 0's. so if you are searching for things by the dosage size,

having the letters mixed in messed that up. there's just been this almost — we call it a keyword arms race. we put some terms in and facebook begins to block them, so they use different terms, and then itjust keeps going. how many have you got? 0h, keywords? uh, 1,695 — and that's an older list. we probably have more than that. itjust needs to be updated. people are like "well, they should just hire more content moderators." and no — if you had an infinite number of content moderators, you'd almost need one for every person who's posting on facebook. they've got to go after it in an algorithmic way. gary's team are developing software to automatically scour the web for fentanyl — a tool previously used for homeland security investigations. and so, if we go visit one of these sites — you know, five fentanyl pills between £200—$980. well, we didn't really look for that. we found it by the bing magic tool giving us a list of recommended sites that scored high for fenta nyl keywords. the average user experience,

it's harder to find drugs online than it's ever been before on these platforms. is it possible still? yes. it's always going to be possible. and if we multiplied by 100 the amount of money we spent, it will still be possible, because that is how facebook‘s scale works. it's not only facebook — twitter has also come under fire for not removing public posts advertising illegal drugs for sale. we don't need to have our social media promoting the use of illegal drugs to our children and our families. yes, i agree with you this is unacceptable and we will — we will act. lauren culbertson heads up twitter‘s public policy in washington. we've taken down 17,000 tweets since we have ramped up this work, and that number is growing by the day. as well as deleting tweets, twitter has partnered with the drug enforcement administration on their biannual ta ke—back days, where americans can safely deposit their unwanted opioid medication. they created a pill emoji and spread the word through hashtags.

voiceover: whatever the case, don't be the dealer. right now, we're actively working on a search prompt, where people would be directed towards services. we're just having a few engineering issues but we should be there soon. so traditionally, twitter is champion freedom of speech and doesn't want to get too heavy—handed with censorship. how much has twitter had to change its policy with regard to the opioid crisis? well, illegal activity has always been against our terms of service. and so, we enforce against that. as a lot of people appreciate, content moderation is really tricky and you have to strike the right balance. and so, while we want to enforce against illegal drug sales, we also want to make sure that we're not over—correcting in censoring the people who are talking about, and have conversations about, the opioid crisis. 0k, sadly, that's all we've got time for for the short version of click for this week, but you can see more ways that tech is trying to help solve the opioid crisis in the full—length version, which is available to watch on iplayer right now.

if you've been affected by drug addiction — maybe it's you, maybe it's someone you know, help is out there. you can talk to frank, which is the nhs‘s confidential advice service for addicts and their carers. their phone number and website is below. thank you for watching. stay well. we will see you soon. good morning. welcome to breakfast withjon kay and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today:
